ROSSIKE: Assume the tables were turned as in the earlier hypothesis I made, and Nigeria had asked Ojukwu and friends to go and sit in Equatorial Guinea to inspect flights into Nigeria, would Ojukwu have complied?

You should not apply stinking assumptions and useless hypothesis to reality. If you still treat Britain-Nigeria\Biafra civil war as trivial, I urge you to kick you damning slumber. Nigeria government has numerous dumb officials, Nigerians and foreigners, under its payroll who could have been sent to Equatorial Guinea.

The answer to your flimsy question is yes. Biafra fought fairly and gallantly. Ojukwu or subordinates would have arrived in Equatorial Guinea to inspect the cargos meant for Nigeria. Biafrans were not in such desperation for crude oil as Gowon and Nigerians appeared.

ikeyman00: alj harem:

liar

Do not pay any mind to the lapper. I guess the act of bearing falsehood is evidently inherent with certain people in Nigeria.

ROSSIKE: Where is the proof for the highlighted?



Perhaps, but that was not to say there wouldn't have been weapons on future flights, especially for a desperately depleted Biafran army. If there was even a slight chance that your enemy was going to exploit your generosity by flying in weapons to use and kill your people, would you allow them to use that air corridor, as opposed to a land corridor that you could better oversee?

Assume you, as Biafra, had that control over Nigerian territory/food supplies. Would you have allowed Nigeria to fly in their food if you knew they would likely fly in weapons, as opposed to a land food corridor you could effect better oversight on? Remember, this is a war situation. Answer truthfully.

I do not pay attention to useless assumptions that have become phrase of expression of most dumbass Nigerians. Nigerian government was offered the chance to have Gowon, Awolowo, Enahoro, Ayida, Okunu or Ciroma on the ground in Fernando Po, Equatorial Guinea to make sure no weapon was loaded to Biafra-bound planes but Nigeria refused it. All they wanted, due to desperation to win the war against Biafra, was sue for easy means of poisoning the foods and medicines meant for Biafrans.

Eko Ile: Even with the air lifted food supplies, didn't your village greedy war lord blocked them from getting the food to ibo people unless they pay him his ivory coast get away ashawo and pepper soup money? ...ode.

Eko Ole

I have zero tolerance for thoughtless and imaginary conjectures from unrepentant dumbest nitwit such as you. For the sake of your miserable life, I say think, olodo.

dayokanu: Coward you dey go Abidjan?

I urge you to verify the connotation of word – coward. A person who has decided to stay in the trenches of NL can not be coward unless in Ogbomosho or Yoruba land.

Chaa! Chaa!! Chaa!!! Umu Igbo Kwenu! Riienu!! Muonu!!! Zuonu!!!!


The nomination process for Eze Ndigbo NL has truly humbled me. I
salute every Igbo son and daughter who thought it is worthwhile to
nominate DEDE1 for such audacious position. My profound greetings also go to
individuals who are not Igbo but envisaged it was wise to mention DEDE1 in
such a prestigious light as Eze Ndigbo NL nomination process even though it
came with the usual insults known in NL.

By the same token, I salute the Igbo sons and daughters who believed
DEDE1 would better serve them in the trenches of NL than to occupy the
venerable position of Eze Ndigbo NL. This endeavor shall remain
incomplete if I did not congratulate Onlytruth for his stewardship.
Onlytruth, you shall live long. Also, PointB and the electoral committee members
have shown us there is true Igbo blood running in their veins. I salute all
of you through the divinity of our forebearers.

I had special thanks for one ballabriggs who has uncanny ability and
mischievous tendency to impress his\her naughty niches. There is no
doubt this fellow knew few things about Igbo land but sometimes chose to be silly.
Nonetheless, I made this fellow a banter project with hope he\she will
turn the corners. Again, balllabriggs, I salute you for the act or
feign of truism or pungent in the nomination exercise.

Internet is one of the gracious discoveries of mankind. It provides us
the shade or tent to remain anonymous while unloading salvos of insults
at intended targets on a slightest provocation. In addition, it grants
the opportunity to rebut constant bombardment of the news media with
fallacious garbage with aim to secure de facto trend by certain
eggheads. The tenement Internet provides to praise singers can not be overlooked either.

With measured humility and magnanimity, I plead with no remorse to be
allowed to withdraw the nomination of DEDE1 from the current
electioneering process of Eze Ndigbo NL. Udo Diri Unu!!!

The foods and medicines meant for Biafra were loaded at airport in Fernando Po, Equatorial Guinea. The last time I checked though, Nigeria was not at war with Equatorial Guinea. What stopped Nigerian government from sending representatives to neutral country to inspect the cargos before being loaded onto the planes? Today, the cesspit called Nigeria sends inspectors to its neighbor to check crude oil cargo.

Eko Ile: Shut your mouth you dirty old man with no common sense. I understand the need to defend your clan member, but not to spew re.tarde.d garbage like a dumb and clueless illiterate.

Eko Ole

I suggest you figure out the literate level of a numbskull such as you who remained inhumanly confused about the use of effortless poisoning or tedious shooting to kill, olodo.

Eko Ile: So you honestly think the idea was to poison millions of innocent people in front of the world? I know you are old and senile like that old man, but not mentally lazy, shallow and corrupt which you really are.

Eko Ole

When I called you a ninny, it was an insult to fools. Nigerians were group of blood thirsty dullards that had employed the heinous method of using guns, machetes, and clubs to kill Biafrans and you still insinuate if the easy method of poisoning was feasible.

ROSSIKE: ^^^Gowon offered Biafra a land corridor to deliver food, which Ojukwu rejected on the grounds that the Nigerians would 'poison' the food. He insisted on airlifing food supplies into Biafra instead, which the FG rejected saying this was a way to ship in arms to Biafran soldiers. If you were Ojukwu, would you have rejected the land corridor offer of food because of 'possible poisoning by Nigeria', even when your people, including millions of children, were starving?

Please answer directly.

The cardinal wrong thing about the so-called land corridor was the food meant for Biafrans should be tampered and poisoned by Nigerians who wanted nothing but total annihilation of Biafrans.

You are free to play with the baseless and idiotic posturing by the federal government with respect to importation of arms through airlifting of foods. If the nonsense held any water, why did Nigeria fail to make hay with DC4 it shot down? There was no single cartridge in the relief plane the Nigerian MIGs shot down in Calabar.

May I ask you what was wrong with airlifting food to Biafra where the instances of tempering or poisoning will be mitigated?

ROSSIKE: I'm his kinsman as far as ethnicity goes. Biko, my fellow Nigerians, let's forgive this elder for his utterances. He's still stuck in 1972. And he has been abroad for many years now. Several decades in fact.

His sensibilities are not in tune with modern Nigerian thinking. With the modern Nigerian mindset. He still talks and weaves arguments around ''Igbos'', ''Yorubas'', ''Hausas''.

Who does that anymore in modern Nigerian discourse? I can't think of a single important Nigerian personality who uses those terms in the public realm today.

But if you watch interview videos from the 60s, you'd be surprised by the frequent and casual references to ethnicity by public personalities, including sworn public servants.

So we can see the man is stuck in that era.

The civil war? Blame cuts across all sides, as even a brief study of the conflict would reveal to any reasonably educated person.... if they were ethnically neutral.

As for Igbo 'cultural superiority'? That's a theory from the depths of hell.

Most Igbos of sound mind reject such reprehensible theories.

Was it not Mitt Romney who almost caused a riot in the Middle East after he went there and declared that Israel was 'culturally superior' to her neighbours, causing him to back-track and even deny the comments?

So what is Achebe doing making such comments?

Well, like we say in Igboland, That you see a fly in a pot of sweet palm wine does not mean you throw away the wine. Achebe has given us memorable gifts. Things Fall Apart remains a work that every Nigerian can be proud of. A world classic. As are his other books. A literary genius, his contribution to our cultural development as a nation is indisputable. Indelibly etched into the history of our republic.

On these grounds I ask my countrymen to kindly forgive the esteemed Achebe, for his unfortunate utterances.

Anybody who claims to be Igbo and has the audacity to conjure the above crap should, as a matter of urgency, vet his\her parentage. The ability to voice the truth has been inculcated in any Igbo son or daughter by the virtues of culture and tradition.

A reasonable person does not need to read Achebe’s book tittled “There Was a Country” to ruminate the fact that Awolowo personally arrogated to himself as the arrowhead of the Nigeria’s war policy that used starvation as a weapon of war. In fact, Awo was not the only Nigerian official of the era in discuss who proffered such inhuman policy. Messrs Alison Ayida and Anthony Enahoro were on record to have fanned the embers of such polic. If the writing style of Achebe does not resonate well with a ninny who will prefer the so-called modern piece of junk called Nigeria to provinces of protectorate, he\she can simply jump the cliff.

It is an imbecilic trolling for anybody to string forgiveness as in case of commission of crime with acts of saying the truth. Anyway, air is infinitely free otherwise some identifiable dingbats should have been denied of it.

[quote author=Charles.nerd]@ Onlytruth

Thanks for your clarification.I have been here much longer than my ID says.I am aware of all the "crimes" committed by Okija,they are all true and I know so many other persons who have been here long enough,or felt slighted by Okija's actions might not vote him if he eventually stands for the election.This is an obvious fact.

My position is,I want this election to be devoid of rancour and accusations,but a shining example of democracy,hence my insistence on allowing Okija to contest.I would be more glad to see Okija lose an election than being disqualified. This would show Okija that he has defecated on the altar,and needs to clean up,cos you cannot rule over a people you detest.

I would have thought that instead of outright disqualification,the tribunal would have collatted links to the thread where Okija made those scandalous comments,paste it on this thread, to educate people who don't know about Okija and his past,that would have made more sense than the current subjective method being applied.

Dalunu..[/quote]I salute you graciously indeed. You meant well for the sons and daughters of Ndigbo as evidenced in your posts. The ongoing showed Okija_juju garnered considerable amount of votes during the nomination process. However, I do not know if such number of votes would allow Okija-juju’s candidature to continue into next round. If the number of votes Okija_juju received during the nomination process did not meet the cutoff mark for the real election, I suggest the issue should be allowed to rest.

Yoruba peeps are ridiculous funny. In one instance, they agreed starvation is a weapon of war as their godfather, Awolowo, had personally proclaimed in several live interviews. While in another, they get twisted out of human form because Achebe reiterated what remains obvious.

dayokanu: Nna kedu. Why na me you dey fight?

No be Onlytruth say your faculty is not sound? I was even defending you that its not right to mock people based on their disability.

Since everyone knows you are a retardd courtesy of Biafra war, why should onlytruth be rubbing it in?

Some people are "Winch for Jezus, You are a Retardd for Biafra

I have no delusions about your comprehensible deficiency. There was never a moment I opposed Okija_juju’s nomination. It shows lack of human intellect on your silly part in attempt to string me with issue bordering on Okija_juju’s palaver.

dayokanu: Bottom line you are saying Dende's faculty is not sound? Is it because he looks like a retardd? You are wicked. Do you know his condition was as a result of the civil war you love so much.

We are saying Adekunle turned Dende into a Mor0n for life?

It does not take long to notice your mother is from Ogbomosho. The act of laud mouthing trails the people of Ogbomosho. From Akintola, Adekunle to Dayolodo, it is all about mouthing off with questionable parentage. I blame these despicable straits on the Caliphate foot soldiers.

PointB: The vehemence with which Okija_juju attacked Ojukwu and by extension those mourning him and the tenacity which which he pours diatribe on people of Imo state makes me seriously question his Igboness. I have on some occasion suspected he is same as ahj_harem. In otherword, I doubt if he is Igbo.

However, as far as this election is concerned, my suggestion that he seeks peace with those who opposed his candidacy and an endorsement of the Eze was in order to ensure that some of the clauses especially those bordering on unity and harmony does not count against him. But perhaps he was too haughty or to smart for his own good to recognise my intention. In disqualifying him, I only interpreted the rules. I also suggested he seeks redress at the tribunal who may see things differently, but he declined.

In anycase, it is up to the Election Tribunal to take the decision to uphold or upturn the disqualification. I personally to think it is unfair to suggest that I am responsible for his travails. If the Tribunal feels that he has shown enough remorse to be welcome back to the fold, so be it.

I salute you, my brother, for the manner in which you have conducted the task. It will amount to irony of travesty for any reasonable fellow to remotely insinuate you are responsible for Okija_juju travails. Since the nomination process has concluded, the issue of Okija_juju and disqualification is closed matter.

T9ksy: And achebe, "a fool at 80", is what?

I guess only drooling numbskull will string Achebe’s name with words such as fool.

I have stood up in person before Ojukwu at Clairborne Center, HU, among serious shouts to shut up, and passionately lamented my displeasure towards certain areas where Ojukwu committed unpardonable blunder in the annals of military history during the civil war. I read the unwarranted diatribes Mazi Okija_juju leveled on character of Ojukwu. It actually left a bad taste in my mouth. However, I must say that Okija_juju is one of the foremost defenders of Igbo agenda on NL.

I humbly plead with the authorities handling the Eze Ndigbo NL to shield your swords and allow Okija_juju the opportunity to be weighed by his\her kinsmen if actually the moniker is a marker to Igbo extraction.

Please Moderators or whoever, stop messing with DEDE1

Katsumoto: And how do you achieve that political structure of inclusiveness?

Are all regions/states not represented in the NASS?

I guess you have not forgotten one of the cardinal principles of democracy. Unequal representation is as good as no representation.

Eko Ile: I went over this issue several times and finally reasoned with Fashola.


Fashola's point = Let's change our ways first before clamoring for constitutional changes because even the laws we have right now we don't obey and respect because of our lawless ways so what's the point.

Eko Ole, you seem to enjoy instances of stupidity.

Fashola stand on this issue is laughable if not downright moronic. Structured environment that bestows sense of belonging to the citizens is the excellent mean of changing peoples’ behavior. Unless Fashola wants to be dictatorial, I do not see how Nigerians will change their ways of behavior without political structure of inclusiveness.

@Dudu_Negro

I had hardly agree with any of the junks you post on this forum but I must say you got me interested in your previous posts with quotes such as:

“Yoruba in Nigeria have a more settled aense of belonging with Yoruba in Porto Novo or Lome even though we exist under different sovereingties thanwe do with Hausa or Igbo with whom we share citizenship. This is the reality.”

“Unfortunately, our society is far from that stage of temperament and contentment”

Believe you me; you could not be more correct with such establishments.

[quote author=Dudu_Negro]How was this so called balance achieved in times when East had more number of representation than others in the legislative chambers?

What specific imbalance of power will an additional state to you or anybody correct?[/quote]Please expatiate on the “when East had more number of representation than others in the legislative chambers”. Nigeria has started the process by contemplating of creating additional states to zones with fewer numbers of states than others. After certain equality has been achieved with a noted political pedestal, Nigeria could move to the next level of federating regionalism.

From the ongoing, with respect to the nomination, I did not sense an idea the electoral committee handpicked or shortlisted the would-be nominees. I thought the nomination process is open and different from the main election. Based on this assumption, it is foolhardy to debate the issue of Mazi Okija_juju’s qualification for the Ezeship of NL.

Nigerians are universally known to jump the gun on any issue. Before these deceitful disciples of demons lure undiscerning onlookers into eating from the so-called geopolitical zones, Nigerians must ascertain the modality satisfies the cardinal rule of democratic principles of equality. Each zone or region must have equal number of states as to provide equal number of representatives to a certain chamber of the national assembly or governors to national executive council.
