Naija9090:
I don't think you understand the dignity in being a man as Igbo men do. An Igbo man will rather die or take tactical exile option than to kneel down, cry and beg before a fellow military officer as did Diya.

These acts of shamefulness took hold in Ibadan on July 29, 1966. Gowon sat in Lagos while issuing orders to the soldiers of northern Nigeria indigenes to rough handle Agbekoya Parapo after northern elements of Nigerian army had killed the son of soil in Ibadan.

MadamExcellency:
Go and learn courtesy and stop being a nuisance to Nairaland.

Mr. "Notice Me", it costs you nothing to chose your words more intelligently when in a public forum.

Please allow the empty barrel to wallow in acute stupidity.

Businessideas:
Your response says a lot about your temperament. The post is just copy and paste from Vanguard to ensure that young people who are ready to learn can benefit from the advice of a successful entrepreneur like Leo Stan, apparently you were impatient enough not to read that.

I guess in the depth of your fine temperament, you could only come up with the caption you gave to this thread. You are one reason among numerous reasons that students are warned about the dangers of "copy and paste".

Diplomaticbeing:
Shut up! Your wretched father cannot even pick on me in real life, least of you vagabond. How would you even understand my submissions when you have low IQ.

Only quote me again if truly you're a product of one night stand from a wretched father and imbecilic mother.

All these aspersion for a simple question. It is unfortunate to even talk about the goofy stuff accredited to Leo Stan. There is nothing such as "technically rich or not rich". Most Nigerians are bereft of intellect. I guess your so-called IQ is infinite hence you make sense out of nonsense. Yet Nigeria is one of most backward entity in the world. You seem to represent Nigeria in its highest esteem.

Dende !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Long time!!

Omokanda !!!!!

Jjanedoe:
so that can not happen without the split?

Are you very childish? When an attempt was made in 1966 to clean up government of corruption, the action was quickly turned into tribal weapon.

Diplomaticbeing:
I'm glad that Leo Stan echoed my long held sentiments. My tribesmen must change their fundamental philosophies to advance their causes both economically and politically.

Not until the majority of us begin to share on the sentiments that conceit isn't smartness, deceit isn't ingenuity, superficiality isn't reality, effacing isn't foolishness etc, would we become a better people individually and collectively.

Anyway, I strongly believe that we shall get better soonest.

Are you alright? Where did you pick all these craps from the post?

Why Igbo are not rich – Leo Stan
By Chinonso Alozie, Owerri

The Chairman Zinox Group, Mr. Leo Stan Ekeh Monday said that lack of humility has remained a very big obstacle among young Igbo people. He made this statement during a youth entrepreneurship workshop held at the Imo state University, IMSU, auditorium. According to him, “There is a reason why you see young people in Igbo land do not grow. One is lack of humility. You see a boy who has 20,000 and he wants a professor to stand up for him. Let me tell you, if you are humble, God will promote you. You have to delete some things that are not relevant to your life and move forward.” “You cannot be negative and be successful.You must be positive to get something positive. This is the problem of an Igbo man. He added that, ” Most of the Igbo men are technically not rich.” He, however, said that the current recession did not affect him because he was prepared, adding that, “I am not afraid of the recession and I am not affected. I do not have God father, what I did was to use my knowledge to to succeed.” While advising young people doing business, he said, ” I must tell you, as a young who is doing business, have it at the back of your mind that when you are doing business you must loose money to make money, adding that,” They must build the fundamentals to succeed in their business.”

The characterization you gave to the post says volume about your intellect.

The ninny named Abagworo was a subcontractor on the project. I guess Abagworo might have supplied the sands for the bridge construction.

lyricalpontiff:
Language is never a criteria in determining culture and identity. Language can be influenced by many factors like trade, conquest etc but origin can be different just like this case. We are not business like as the igbos and our cultures like masquerades and food are never the same.
Assuming but not conceding that we are the same,in our present world. If majority of the Ikwerres agree not to be part of the igbo formation will it be a crime? Are we bound to always accept what we don't like? Is it by force?

I shall bet my last cent on the fact that you do not even know "Ikwerre" is the bastardized form of the real word.

pazienza:
Elugwaraonu, was he an elected official or an appointed official?
Afonjas here and their Ikwerre friends are staying silent on this.

If an Igbo man can go to Poland, endear himself to natives and win elective posts there without the natives accusing the Igbo of colonialization, how exactly does Elugwaraonu,a man who had spent considerable years of his life in PH, running for an elective post in PH, and winning. Translate to Igbo colonization?

In the year of 1963, one Hon. E. Ebubedike represented Ajeromi\Ifelodun\Badagry legislative seat in western Nigeria regional House of Assembly. I thought the Afonja were cowords but Elechi Amadi made them look amateur. In 1961 when he contested, he was a mere bench warmer in the ministry of land and survey as such had no money to mount a serious campaign. Just being an Ikwerre cannot win anybody election in Aluu as I write this post. When Elechi Amadi joined Nigerian army, he was an Igbo. When ran for his dear life from Kaduna in 1966 back to Enugu, he was Igbo man. When he resigned his commission from Nigerian army in 1966 at Enugu, Elechi Amadi was an Igbo man. When he took up position as the assistant principal of Asa Grammar School under Mr. Onwunma, Elechi Amadi was an Igbo. However when PH failed into the hands of the vandals in 1968, Elechi Amadi sneaked into PH and quickly became an Ikwerre instead of Igbo.

doctokwus:
Tend to pity Kanu now.
He seems passionate enough and convinced on his course.His ultra violent advocation of the method of achieving the Biafra cause was just going overboard.
He shud calm down and allow the court trial to begin.
He has definitely got some sympathies with some people.

Do you understand the meaning of the word - violent?

Jjanedoe:
and what will splitting along ethnic lines do to solve the issue? Its not as if any one ethnic group is less corrupt...

It is not whether one ethnic group is corrupt or not but to create enabling conditions for each ethnic group to handle corruptible practices in its manner without being accused of tribalism.

Nigeria charged the dudes for treasonable felony and should be transparent in the trial. It is only when the evidence is seriously lacking that government resorts to kangaroo modality. What a shame. One wonders why Nigerians continue to ask for respect from other nationalities when they indulge in this form of stupidity.

MyGeneration:
Are u d one that will kill him?

If I had cared about Nigeria and wanted to act like a USA citizen, such consideration would have been appropriate.

MyGeneration:
Hello Ipob.

I am not in support of the break up of Nigeria, but neither am i in support of the assault, maiming, killing and arrest of you guys. Buy you guys have to understand that the cry for break up of Nigeria is unnecessary. But since you people have been killed and have been suffering yet Nigeria, our leaders have failed to do something not necesarily to break up Nigeria but to give you guys re-orientation.
I have a plan that i think would FORCE the world to look into this.
Dont worry this is very eazy, if you want me to share say "YES". Note seccession is off the table, but am igbo i dont like the fact that my brothers are dieing and languishing in jails and nobody cares.

The most foolish humans on earth are the fence-sitters. He who stands for nothing falls for everything. What a life. Anything good does not come easy.

chukagora:
Point of correction.. Hillary Clinton Will win for sure and this will fasten a free fall for America as both military and economic power house. Russia sounds as if they prefer Trump winning but they actually wnt Hillary Clinton to win because they have known her for decades and can actually predict her moves. Before now it's used to be America is strongest nation now it is Russia and America who is stronger. Let's wait and see who wins in the election.
NB. There is a prophesy in the 50s and 60s abt a woman ruling America and it's consequences. In my own permutations Hillary Clinton presidency will weaken America more. Lets watch and see.

Dude you are a daydreamer for sure.

See How And Why The World Is On Fire. by Freshkidavid(m): 1:02pm On Oct 26
The World [Eye Opener] Part 1: Chapter 1.

I begin with the saying, God In Everything We Do (GIEWD).

The agents of the devil are working to undermine the works of Jesus Christ. If Trump wins he is going to destroy America. He is the man who will make power shift from America believe it or not. In fact he is going to win the elections.

Everything Hilary Clinton has is propaganda. She cannot rule America. Forget gender equality because it can never be actualized. As long as there is racism, there is gender inequality in this world.

You are wondering how Trump is going to win right? Let me loop you into something. Trump winning the elections is not decided by Americans. It is decided by people who control the world.

They know who they are. They are those who rule the world through politics, music, fashion, nude contents and amongst others. These people direct the lives of people and yet, the people don't know.

These people are the world most famous and the most powerful. There are powerful and spiritual associations that are rumored to have these people. For example, the Illuminati, the Free Masons and others.

The truth is that these organizations might be real or they can be fiction. We don't know for sure but get this right, there are people who run the world and are controlled by the Devil.

Back to Trump. Donald Trump coming is actually a blessing to Africa and at the same time a curse. This is due to the fact that Trump's coming can lead to a World War 3 and that is the main reason why Putin will let Russia support Trump. That is a story for another day. (Keep checking on the blog for an article on "Between Trump and Putin: An international conspiracy for a Third World War".)

Trump winning the elections will lead to catastrophic events in which the world would partake in but Africa wouldn't because it is not our war. Africa would suffer greatly during that time because the continent relies on the other parts of the world. During this time, Africa would serve as a place for refugees. It would become a mass refugee camp. This would eventually force people to begin to produce what they need. This would cause development in Africa as the other parts of the world would be fighting a war.

Stop posting the idiotic liberal stream of thought on this forum. Most Africans are equally foolish and sentimentally drunk to listen and propagate the craps from the liberal press.

MyGeneration:
The guy has nothing to loose, he has already done his 2 tenures.

Nigerians are the funniest set of goons in the world. Most of them want to be like the USA citizens but act like one. The Okoroawusa dude still have his sorry life to loose.

Cadamlk:
Instead of people to address and find a lasting solution to the issue of political violence in River state, PDP and APC supporters take to blame game ......like the guy above me. Must you use human lives to play politics? Political barbarism is condemnable.

Any politician that indulge,instigate or induce political violence is not in politics to serve but to steal and acquire power to massage his ego.

Situation like this inspired Donald Trump statement that Africans need to be recolonized.

You are also in denial. The root of the problem is Nigeria. Can you not see?

kenkenn:
DSP Mohammed Alkali is his name. A member of ASP Course 24 /2010 at the Police Academy, Wudil, Kano.

He went on attachment in 2010;

DSP Alkali's father was the then CP of Delta State. He made us proud. If time will permit, I will share comments/testimonies of people about this rare officer.

DSP Alkali maintained good relationships with almost all irrespective of religion, tribe or what have you. I have called alot of persons so far and none of them is speaking without tears. God cannot be questioned, but my pain is not just that someone was killed because of election, its not new, even if we pray such should end, but why!!!!!

Why Supol Alkali and why in my own Rivers State and my own Zone?

Who soever they are that did this should be well prepared, for a battle, a battle with people ready to sacrifice their everything to get to the root of this. Just be prepared.

DSP Mohammed Alkali may your truly gentle soul RIP. We will fight for you my God's grace. WE PROMISE!

This is the way cookie crumbs. Nigeria present configuration calls for drastic measures.

SeunPlus:
Go and read THERE WAS A COUNTRY from page 160 to page 163, the the President of Senegal, Léopold Sédar Senghor was a friend to Ojukwu. He even issued a letter through Chinua Achebe to deliver a message to him. Go and confirm before you can come back to argue.

How did alleged personal friendship between Emaka Ojukwu and Léopold Sédar Senghor equate the recognition of Biafra by Senegal? Most Africans seem to evade common logic.

SeunPlus:
It's no new knowledge that for an independence movement to be successful, it is imperative that those agitating create allies and not break bridges as its been done by the pro-Biafra proponents. One truth Biafrans have failed to themselves due to ego is that they need help of other countries rather than standing as an island of its own. But how then are you going to face these people when all you do is to insult black people and call them baboons and monkeys?
I'm sure that South Africa will be a willing tool because it's obvious that they are not happy about Nigeria being ahead of them economically, hence they will do what is possible to split the country so that they will regain their top spot as Africa's largest economy. But the truth is that no African country wants to risk being in the black book of Nigeria the giant of Africa because when we sneeze they catch cold. You have now confirmed that when Senegal whom were one of Biafra's ally in the civil war, expelled Biafrans for flying their flag in their stadium. What does that tells you about Nigeria's might? That Biafra is fighting a lost battle with Nigeria and you guys are foolish to think that you can win. I laugh in Swahili.

You are lacking in human intellect. No human is either "white or black". Color is not human but an object.

Something is spiritually wrong in the land of Oduduwa.

Greatest sacrifice known to mankind.

Intrepid01:
I always love it when you display your sense of shallowness.....Oya listen and take lectures your elders never gave you cos they are bereft of ideas....

Running away to fight anoda day does not exist in the diary of a gallant soldier anywhere in the world, but ofcourse to the CHEST BEATERS running away at battle ground while living your people to their fate, it is a sign of strength,albeit self masturbating strength.... OJUKWU is a CERTIFIED COWARD ,damn betrayer and killer,even one of your own labelled him that....go to Google...he betrayed his people...no wonder that couldn't trust the idiot with elective positions even in his hometown Nnewi after the war.

BENJAMIN ADEKUNLE FAJUYI;a gallant soldier, ofcourse of YORUBA extraction defended Aguiyi ironsi, anoda useless Igbo man, with his life....that is what a MAN with balls does , you don't run away...looollll but to yeebos you have to run away...Yorubas have been defending the sorry asses of your fathers since time immemorial but the inherent ungrateful trait in the Yeebos will not let them show gratitude. You people are eternally shameless...

FAJUYI stood tall in the front of challenges,insisted that nothing must be done to Ironsi in his domain....YES!!! that is what a Yoruba man does, we take care of our visitors, even if they are yeebos ,the ungrateful tribe...

Listen child....Yorubas and Igbos are not mate at alll......at Ore, we defeated your fathers with just few men and stopped Ojukwus purported madness.....Take it or leave it...Igbos will always be behind the Yorubas,just like the east trails the WEST.....

The bolded indicated you have never seen a parade ground in your sorry life. I have known that Nigerians of your parental stock are mostly loudmouthed. They seem to shout in stark ignorance on subjects they know nothing about. When you regurgitated the fallacy that was first planted by western regional government gazette of 1967 on behalf of Lt Col Francis Fajuiyi, I ceased to waste my time on numbskull. First of all, locate a parade ground and then talk about military strategy. Who are the "we" in your idiotic insinuation of Ore debacle?

hakeem4:
macaulay and azikwe created the NCNC and Lagos island was different from other parts of Lagos


I'm an indigene of Lagos state and I know all these facts

You should concern yourself with being indigene of western region of Nigeria. I bet you do not even know who was Endeley. Why was Lagos island included in the constituency that was represented in western regional house of assembly? Nigerian educational system has gone to the dogs.

hakeem4:
you know nothing about Nigeria

Azikwe was a member of Macaulay's party

The name of the party was NCNC ;

Lagos island was never part of the western region

Please get your fact right

God bless you

Macaulay did not have any party that Azikiwe joined. He was just a member of NCNC as Azikwe since the NCNC was formed by the groups from NNDP, NYM and CYL led E.M.L Endeley. Why was federal government of Nigeria in control of all entities in Ikeja and Ikorodu? Entire Lagos, which was the capital of Nigeria, remained part of western region. There were members representing Lagos Island and other constituencies in western regional house of assembly. By the way, do not try to fuss with me on NNPC because it was not my cup of tea but that of your Yoruba brother as claimed in the op.

This is a professor,
The registrar of JAMB, a country's regulatory board for admissions into Higher Education?

You can imagine how bitter this man is with Christianity/Christians. For God's sake, cross sign in hospitals hian.

One of the bane of Nigeria. The jackass should not be allowed in a sister town of the city where JAMB headquarter is situated talk less the registrar.

The Bill for Ecclesiastical (Christian) Courts in Nigeria is a recipe for anarchy and should be stopped in the interest of the nation, the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, has warned.

The organisation also threatened that it would demand that Wednesday should be declared a work-free day in Nigeria, if Christians continue to insist on ecclesiastical courts.The Secretary-General of NSCIA and Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, sounded that warning in an interview with Punch newspaper

He said no informed Christian would agitate for Christian courts because Muslims had Shariah courts.

The proposed bill for a Christian Court sponsored by Hon. Gyang Dung (PDP) from Plateau State and eight other members of the House of Representatives had scaled the second reading.

According to Dung, while presenting the bill during plenary said the courts would complement the regular courts especially with matters relating to the tenets of the Christian faith, when established.

He, however, stated that it adjudicate in cases between individuals and groups that yield and submit to its jurisdiction.

But Oloyede said the demand for Christian courts amounted to the height of intolerance because Christians enjoyed Sunday as Sabbath Day while the cross was the sign of the hospital “and yet Muslims are not complaining.”

He said, “Why not? Let them (Christians) have it (Christian courts); I believe that Muslims will also have Wednesday as a work-free day. To me, the demand for Christian courts is not in the interest of the nation. I believe that if because somebody has something, then another person must have it, then Muslims can also ask for Wednesday and not Sunday as a public holiday. If you hate Muslims because they have Shariah courts, then they can also hate you because you have Sunday and there will be no end to it.

“People can also demand that they don’t want a Sabbath Day; Muslims don’t have Sabbath Day because they believe that it is Christianity that believes in Sabbath Day and that is why they conceded to Saturday and Sunday.”

If Christians say whatever Muslims want, they will be antagonistic to it, then what it means is that Muslims can stand up and say they don’t want Saturday and Sunday, they want Wednesday as work-free day.

“I think it is an act of intolerance, what has brought this country together is that our forefathers have been very considerate and sensitive. But we now have some hit-headed people who think that others are fools. But I think those people should be cautioned, not to create a situation that will lead to anarchy.

“If you say because they have Shariah court, you also want Christian courts, Muslims also have the right to say they don’t want Saturday and Sunday, they want Wednesday as Sabbath Day. So when you concede one thing to one group, the group will concede another.

“Our forefathers are not fools; the Christians among them were more Christians than modern-day Christians. The Muslims among them were more Muslims than the modern-day Muslims. Yet, they agree on the principle of give and take and that is why the nation is where it is today.

“If you start this intolerance, at the end of the day, every group will discover that it does not pay and is not in their own interest to create such a situation. I am a Muslim and I have no apology for being a Muslim. But I believe that any informed Christian will not go that way. But if they go that way, Muslims also have the right to demand for all the things which they also believe that are Christian vestiges. If you go to any government hospital, the cross is a sign of the hospital in Nigeria and we are not complaining.

“Even in Sokoto (the seat of the caliphate), the cross is the sign of the hospital and Muslims are not complaining because it is not give and take. But by the time we start to exhibit such intolerance, other people will have the right to make their own demands and that will take the country to nowhere.”

How low on hypocritical rungs these goons could descend? One wonders if the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) and its Secretary-General, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede are oblivious that Sharia Courts exist in Nigeria. Has the presence of Sharia Courts set off anarchy in the zoo called Nigeria?
