Only Yoruba peeps with diarrhea of the mouth would descend from GOC to Apapa Wharf Traffic Warden and still organize Owambe. Benjamin Adekunle was all hands in the air begging Oluwa and Gowon to take him out of Port Harcourt as Biafran forces were resting at igirinta.

Lord Naya: TO NDI IGBO ON NAIRALAND, I WOULD ADVICE THAT YOU DON'T NOMINATE AN "IGNORANT SUPREMACIST IGBO" WHO TRIES TO RUBBISH HIS/HER SISTER STATE BECAUSE OF AN UNEXPLANABLE EGO AND PRIDE BASED ON A SHAMEFUL SHIPWRECKED RATIONALIZATION. SOME OF THE CULPRIT ARE ALREADY BEING NOMINATED. SHOULD THE ELECTORAL TEAM MAKE THE ERROR OF ALLOWING A DELUDED PERSON TO BECOME EZE NDI IGBOLAND NAIRALAND; THE UNITY OF NDI IGBO ON NAIRALAND WOULD NOT BE VERY STRONG.
This is Internet and it does not hurt to speak the truth or bear falsehood. If you are really concerned about the unity of Ndigbo on Nairaland, please highlight the deluded character or characters already nominated.

I honestly agree with you on everyday show of Eze Ndigbo Nairaland election sucks. This is one among reasons Ndigbo community on Nairaland should be shroud and meticulous in electing a figure. Granted the vanity that surrounds the exercise, it shows one aspect of Ndigbo worthy of emulation. Eze Ndigbo, Nairaland or not, can not be a character that absconds when women shout Lion! Lion!! Lion!!! In addition, regardless of the insignificancy, Eze Ndigbo Nairaland can not be a person of divided loyalty.

Towing to the ongoing events, I beg to reserve this opportunity to salute Ogugua88 for her resolved determination to serve Umu Nnaya despite uncountable times she has been literally subjected to vitriolic criticisms on this forum.

Promoe: [color=crimson]I have been following this thread for long time but this is what I have to say about this fellows;

Odumchi
He has been a better eze in 2 months than Onlytruth in 12 months. Its so pathetic that you guys were so dumb in thinking. I wonder what you guys expect from your Eze. Is it to open a thread like "Yorubas are the dirtiest people on earth" or "Hausas are bloody people"? I don't really understand this Eze NL ish. An Eze also is a teacher, which I saw this quality in Odumchi. He is very experienced in Igbo culture and I and many folks have got to learn a lot from this. For those who said he was 17 years, if a 17years boy's post is more educative than a 40years old fool forever man's post, isn't it the more reason to give him even more credits for his work? Instead all you could do is to team up and oust out eze. What sort of lesson are you teaching to non-Igbos about Igbo culture? An Abramovich system of government? No matter how bad a rulers tenure maybe, you're suppose to let him finish his tenure before unleashing words on him. You guys have started the rebellion and it has come to stay.
Ogugua
You're a promising eze nwayi, you look like one who really have vision for the umuada. Thumbs up, but if I were you I would equally resign, (i'm not asking you to, it's just me) because it's a strong revulsion to me, to work together with bunches of pointless and visionless people.

Onlytruth
I don't have anything against you but seriously with all due respect I'm very ashamed of you. You as the past eze suppose to use your leadership experience to settle matters here but instead you stood at the forefront in criticizing the eze. I don't know if its because you needed a second tenure but didn't get it then you decided to vent your frustration on the new eze. So pathetic! If you're to be re-elected, then everything here is just a joke.

Okija juju
I have nothing against you, i really love your sense of humour but unfortunately, this is not an eze comedy position. Electing you is just like a joke, because you're likely to throw insults on people. You all can check his siggy for confirmation. Hey! Don't even try to edit it angry

PointB & 9ja_I_hail
You guys have proven to us to be pointless just as Yoruba folks describe you. You follow the advice of few riffraffs and thereby indirectly making us a fool. Shame on you!

I have a consideration admiration for your Igbo cultural demeanor on this forum. You are very much entitled to your opinions. I share in the sentiments expressed in some of them and tend to differ as well. My peoples say “Oke ehi gbalaga oke madu na-achu ya”. In addition, my people say “Anaghi eji ukwu abua awo ogwe”. In my humble opinion, I think Eze Ndigbo Nke Abua of Nairaland was found deeply indebted on both counts hence the sudden abdication of the throne.

kingoflag: You have never lived among my forbears, so starve that thought.

Yes, I did make the statement. And I made it continuously throughout my followup posts. You're just an I'd.iot, aren't u? So when u wanna make ur case against someone, u start from the middle instead of from the top? Sounds to me like the arguments you always make all over this forum jumping to what happened during the civil war, instead of starting from the previous incidents that sparked it. You're a dunce!

You pick and choose like a baby or a female would whenever you wanna make an argument. I'm kinda wondering; WHY DIDNT YOU ATTACK THE ORIGINAL POSTER?

And, something piqued my interest, how come the Northerners aren't attacking my opinion, afterall, I lumped them in the same boat as your "superior" tribe?
You do not deserve a response from me. There is no doubt you have sunken to an irreparable range of imbecilic abyss. In your first idiotic response to the poster of the thread in discussion, the first sentence conjured from your moronic stream of thought was “The North and (South)Eastern Nigeria are the problem in Nigeria! Both of them are as intolerant as they come”.

In order to tailor your gutter up bring antics to fit, a dingbat such as you followed up with another junkyard utterance in “Both sides intolerance can be traced to indoctrinations by acquired foreign religions”.

Now as a celebrated jackass of irresponsible parentage, you have effrontery to say that attack on your bloody and dilapidated body commenced from the middle of trash you vomited. What a deranged maggot.

Must I remind a dumbass such as you that northerners are biologically and socially different from the easterners? What significant or lack thereof does northerners attacking your idiotic opinion got to do with easterners? I guess you should be reminded that unlike the western region of Nigeria, eastern region does not run second fiddle to northern region of Nigeria, olodo.

Okukpe's statement was directed at Ben and the apology(if any) should be to him.... PERIOD!!!

It's senseless that a people who claim "to have no leader" because of their "individuality" will whine and see statements directed at an "Individual" as an insult to "All IGBOs".....

Lemme tell you a lil game I played with you. I didnt leave the page (and actually got back to my work) knowing fully well that you wouldnt post until I exited the page. So, I remained logged on and went about my business making sure I wasted your time because I knew that youd be glued to your computer screen waiting till I left before posting a reply. While Youre infinitely fo.olish, even I know that it wouldnt take you 10billion minutes to type up 6 words of what must've biting deep in your heart. And did you disappoint? Nope!

Mo.ron, I could care less if SW Nigeria is also "indoctrinated".... Actually, now I do care as it proves my point on how idiotic you are.

1. Do people live in peace in the South West regardless of their religion, race, tribe or language?

2. Are Igbos being hunted down like game in the South West whenever the Yorubas get bored of seeing Igbo faces and listening to their never ending boasts and claims of superiority?

The main problem is that people like you are just ill-mannered and badly bought up, thus, you have no respect for others and do not know how to be civil. Like an animal, look at how you responded to my facts with emotion and sentiments instead of rebutting with facts of your own and explaining why you felt I was wrong.



P.S: I was gonna bring up the fact that Eastern Nigerians are always quick to (verbally) attack the Western Nigerians even though their biggest antagonists are those from the North. I wrote it, then deleted it, because I knew how donkeys like yourself would be quick to portray and misconstrue it. But, what did you do? You still went ahead, took the words out my mouth, and proved me right anyways.

Youre such a loser it aint even no longer funny.
Numbskull kingofool

I tried to play you as dumbass with your silly post but you seemed to be dumber on each stanza. In eastern region of Nigeria, people do not live in peace because they always engage in sectarian riots according to moronic dingbat such as you. What a fool.

Throughout the history of Nigeria, Yoruba have never been hunted down like game in eastern region. In fact, operation watie has never happened in eastern region. What about wrestling matches such as Kiriji and show of shame for the drunkards engaged by Modakeke and Ife?

I guess in your infinite wisdom of foolishness, it is a good manner to peddle falsehood. Where the habits of telling bloody lies and dwelling in innuendos inculcated in you as a child?

I love to read from you because you display the knack for foolishness when on keyboards.

Both sides intolerance could be traced to indoctrinations by acquired foreign religions. One side kills with impunity, the other side goads him all the time with claims of superiority and being better and is always quick to label his counterpart as inferior.

An ill-informed Nigerian would ordinarily think northern region of Nigeria is the country’s ultimate problem as the original poster had captioned. I shall posit that British colonial masters and moronic southerners emboldened the northerners to be problematic. It is unfortunate most Nigerians have not learnt a lesson from history.

Duduknight: Bravery is killing rivals or opponents in bed with their wives but hiding when everyone is awake. Everyone is aware of what happened in the January 1966 coup. The July 66 by the Northerners was the revenge coup. The January coup lasted a few hours while the July coup went on for three days. During the July coup for three days, there were four officers at Army HQ, surrounded by Northern soldiers, who tried unsuccessfully to put down the coup because they had no loyal soldiers - Ogundipe, Admiral Adewale Way, Col Anwunah, and Major Mobolaji Johnson. There were approximately 3300 (similar numbers to the Northerners) Igbo soldiers in the Army but the Northerners killed approximately 200. Where were the other 3000 Igbo soldiers who could have given support to Ogundipe to suppress the coup? We know Ojukwu encouraged Ogundipe to keep fighting while he himself ran from Enugu (that had a Division) to Nnewi.

I guess everyone's definition of bravery is different.
The above post is apparent display of fool’s delight. How could Nigeria ever progress when its so-called young generations keep regurgitating craps vomited by their moronic forbearers?

Did Ojukwu praise the death sentence in Dallas, TX or not? Did he sign the Government Register as a witness or not? smh At how you guys are always so blind to the truth that you'll do anything to keep it hidden.



P.S: Keep talking and thinking man is God and I'll transfer the subject to how he never thought it fit to visit Oji River Rehab Center to honor and help the Biafran vets even when he was invited. Or should we talk about how he got his properties and pension back, but never thought to request that of other Igbos? Or how he came back from fleeing to Ivory Coast and started wining and dining with the same so-called "Hausa Enemies"? Or how when he died he didnt leave a penny to aide in achieving this same Biafra you clowns have be programmed to mention even when the opportunity doesnt present itself? Or you want us to back up a little how Chuba Okadigbo used to tell all and sundry thatd listen that he wished he'd have never facilitated the pardon that allowed Ojukwu return from exile and that he wished hed have had nothing to do with him? Or how Okadigbo ensured that Ojukwu's lost to Edwin Onwudiwe - NPP, for Onitsha Senatorial District in 1983?

My man, as far as it breathes and bleeds like me: I'LL NEVER WORSHIP IT!!

alj harem: Kindly read what Emeka Odumegwu Ojukwu wrote about Chief Obafemi Awolowo in his book "Because I Am Involved" page 159- 160.

In political terms, he would be considered an adversary of the igbos given the intense rivalry between him and Dr Nnamdi Azikwe. As a leader of the modern cast, he has left Nigeria standards which are indelible, standards beside which future aspirants to public leadership can be eternally measured. He was firm, articulate, painstaking, and uncompromising. He was, for a long time, the only Nigerian leader who enunciated principles and played down personalities. He was a brilliant political administrator and a most erudite teacher. He not only identified himself wholly with the aspirations of the Yoruba people of Nigeria but also he was able to convince the Yoruba people of Nigeria that he and only he epitomized the highest point of their political aspirations and consciousness. He was loved, he was feared but above all he belonged to the people he professed to lead. At his death I had the singular honour of proposing for him the epitaph that has endured – ‘he was the best President that Nigeria never had’.

Many have wondered what I meant by this, but I believe the statement was clear. Nigeria would have benefited from his presidency because of his inate presidential qualities. Nigeria must continually regret that he never, for many reasons, had the opportunity to serve at the presidential level. Awo was a leader of great stature. He was a leader who was eminently successful. That he did not fulfill a presidential ambition cannot detract from his leadership, and us, poor us, who were not his people, must continue, to regret that our own leaders had not led us as he did his people or achieved for us as he did for his people.

He perceived his job as leading his people and God his soul. He did a lot for them. Whenever he saw an opportunity for his people, he went for it. He had a dream for the Yorubas and was steadfast in the pursuit of that dream. He knew where he was going and took his people with him without deceit. That is why he will remain immortal in the area of his influence.
You have imbecilic issues with every statement made by human beings. I am not surprised you can not strike difference between sarcasm and accolade, olodo.
PoliticsRe: Obi’s Faction Of APGA Barred From Party’s National Secretariat by Dede1(m): 11:32am On Feb 20, 2013
Onlytruth: The only party that gains from APGA's factionization is PDP because PDP is closest on the ground in SE. With what is going on now, Peter Obi might simply move all his political assets into PDP and Anambra will become a PDP state once more. If that happens, its game over for APGA in SE.
As for APC, people in much of SE will blame it for dismembering APGA and shun it like plague. Perhaps this is all for good.
I guess you remember my warning about wild-eyed opportunists who flooded APGA for their personal gains. I knew APGA was a paper tiger manipulated by certain political touts. In fact, I shall not be surprised if the same APGA members who seemed to have jumpstarted the alleged merger into APC circle back into PDP.

PoliticsRe: Are You A Proud Igbo / Nigerian? by Dede1(m): 11:07pm On Feb 18, 2013
dasparrow: I am a Nigerian who was born in western Europe and have spent a better part of my life between Europe and the USA even though my developing years were spent in Nigeria. I went to Nigeria not too long ago after many years away and I can tell you that I am equally disappointed. I don't know how most Nigerians are doing it living there. Cities like Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt are overpopulated. Most places are filthy. Even Abuja - the capital of Nigeria - that used to be a very clean city back in the day when I was growing up there has become so crowded and filthy. The nice houses/apartments that were built back in the mid 80s and early and mid 90s are all looking green, rotten and depleted now. Lack of maintenance culture I would say.

The electricity issue has gotten worse from what it used to be back in the day when I was growing up in Nigeria. Certain parts of Abuja go a whole week now without electricity based on what I personally experienced. The heat is unbearable and there is no electricity to turn on the fan or air conditioner. No electricity to watch television. One has to depend heavily on generators for some temporary electricity and generators gulp fuel like crazy. In addition, there is a lot of traffic making commute time longer than usual. What I find even worse is the non nonchalant attitude of the average Nigerian. All they care about is how to get married and breed many babies that will join them in their misery. They don't care about what quality of life their kids will have. All they care about is to keep producing knowing fully well that Nigeria has no REAL future for their offspring. Many school age male teenagers and young adults are busy working as bus conductors. Others are hawking goods and jumping in between vehicles for peanuts all the while risking their lives.

Nigerian drivers drive like they are on drugs. No sense of obeying traffic rules at all. No sense of right of way, no turning on of traffic signal before switching lanes, and driving in the opposite direction towards oncoming traffic. They tail gate and over take each other with reckless abandonment.

Nigerian society is also very bigoted and misogynist. In fact, it is a horrible place to be if you are a female. I would not want any of my female family members living there. I cannot tell you how many times I have taken public transportation and over heard a Nigerian male openly make chauvinist generalized statements about women. Makes you wonder whether it was a male that carried such men 9 months in the womb. Most of the women are no better either because they are suppose to raise their kids - both male and female - properly and train them to have respect for all people but they are more concerned about popping babies out like rabbit which they later do not have the strength or time to adequately take care of.

Nigeria is indeed a mess. After what I saw and experienced, it became clear that I will not be able to live in Nigeria again. I also would not want my kids growing up in that hostile, dirty environment where there is no peace and serenity due to blaring generators, loud speakers from churches and mosques and drivers constantly honking thereby constituting severe noise pollution that can leave one mentally, physically and emotionally drained. The only thing I like about Nigeria is the food - Nigerian delicacies if you will - and the music and some of the Nigerian attires. Other than that, I don't see a future for myself and family in that country.

Lastly, ignore those that hurl insults at you. Just keep telling it as it is. Most Nigerians love living in denial. They don't want to face reality. At the end of the day, they and their kids will be the ones to suffer in that hell hole of an entity that they and their leaders have created for themselves. Peace!
You are simply misguided. Every society has its natural defect and Nigerian society is not exception. As for your statement about chauvinistic statements by men, you could not be more wrong. In my experience, I have never seen a worse society with chauvinistic statements thrown around like water than USA’s society. The disparaging of women is incorporated into music.

PoliticsRe: Prof Achebe's "There Was A Country" Is Meticulously Torn Apart & Shredded by Dede1(m):
bayooooooo: Achebe wrote a one sided book. He focused, mostly, on tribes, ethnicity without taking into cognizance the existence of ruling class that cut across all divides pre and post civil war except when it suited his agenda. It is we against them mentality that reverberated throughout the book. In most cases, he highlighted the symptoms of an ailment to high heavens without examining the root cause of such ailment. Thus he found it convenient to discuss horrible pogrom without mentioning not to talk of dramatizing Enugu killings to same level or highlighted that the pogrom was not unprovoked.

While he claimed the glory, justified or otherwise, of Biafran technological innovations during the war and showed it as a mark of Ibo's brilliance, one would have expected him to also admit the failure of Biafra to feed her citizens as a mark of sheer $tupidity of the elite running shows in the stillborn country. His Ibo's victimization and ironically supremacist or domineering theory is not well justified considering that all ruling class pre and post civil war also comprise Ibo. So they are neither more victimized than the rest of the country nor do they possess an extra prowess in anything that has not been seen or would not have been expressed.

Well, the book is one of several works on civil war and it pays to read it side by side with the likes of Ralph Uwechue's Reflections on the Nigerian Civil war and many other great works that are more credible and balanced devoid of unnecessary emotions in place of logic, truth and actuality of circumstances. At the end of the day, what matters is the war has ended and there is still Nigeria. We can choose to either salvage this country or now aid its balkanisation to different republics.
Of course, I guess you are missing your ways like people before you on this matter. Achebe made it abundantly clear he was writing his memoir about Biafra not Nigeria. Achebe was not in Nigeria during the war and had no business writing about the cesspit called Nigeria and its deluded miscreants for citizens.

There was no iota of boastful claims on the book rather everything accredited to Biafra’s technological innovations was real. Biafra channeled most of its resources towards chasing back a determined enemy bent on killing and rap.ing the citizens of the country.

Biafra was totally blockaded and constantly strafed by Nigerian war planes. Ordinary local markets were punitively bombed. Any clearing for agricultural purposes was visited by Nigerian MIG fighter planes flown by Egyptian, Australians and Yoruba. As I write this post, it is noticeable that Nigeria, which had independence for more than 40 years, not blockaded or besieged with war of attrition, could not feed its citizens and maintain common roads and other economic infrastructures.

Before you jump off cliff in your murderous bid to discredit Achebe by declaring some authors are more credible and balanced than Achebe, I must remind you that nobody can be at every place at the same time. Achebe never claimed he was everywhere in Biafra. A case in point was generated by one top military commander of Biafran armed forces who wrote a book. In his book, he gave erroneous account of a particular battle as an eyewitness account when, in fact, he was I00 of miles from the sector. In addition, he wrongly tagged a military unit in this sector. Nigerians being lazy and ill-educated bunch of people had regurgitated the errors committed by a Biafran commander in his book as facts without further research.

How on earth can we have awusa people commanding enugu,owerri and ph. Nnaa ijikwa anya gi.
Bros, I hate when Ndigbo try to play fair in Nigeria. Nigeria is an embodiment of unfairness. I guess the Brigades in northern and western regions must have, at least, a commander who hails from the region. It is unacceptable that entire Brigades in eastern region none is commanded by a soldier from the area.
