Demdem: I don't think its neccessary. Waste of resources. This is just political talk.

it's about economics. If it is going to industralise and urbanize Ondo then i'm all up for it. Let's create another city in the west.

expertman: "The Ondo State Governor, Olusegun Mimiko has promised to provide a seaport at Igbokoda, the headquarters of Ilaje local government area in his second term in office.

The seaport when completed, Mimiko explained, would serve the whole western part of the country and also provide jobs for thousand of people of Ondo State.

Mimiko who was in Ilaje at the weekend in continuation of campaign tour of his re-election bid, disclosed that his administration had succeeded in bringing in a lot of foreign technical partners some of whom he said had been shortlisted to partner with the State government for the execution of the seaport.

The governor who is contesting on the platform of the Labour Party (LP) for the October 20 Governorship Election enthused that the seaport project would turn the economy of the riverine community and that of Ondo state around for good.

The Governor also disclosed that he had used the first three and a half years of his administration to put in place indexes that would fast track the development of the entire State saying that what remained now was for him to be given the opportunity to continue in office by the people so that he could complete all that his administration had put in place for a better Ondo State.

Yes, yes, we need another Lagos kinda city in the west.

ikeyman00: @@@@

NO NO NO

if there should be a sea port in Nigeria the only place that should be is super Anambra

but will envy let the country move forward

some believe that the worse that can destory the country is boko nonesense coupled with corruption

no the country is so sick due to the enviousness towards the igbos

Rubbish talk!

Do you have a pond, let alone a sea for a seaport in that land locked; erosion ridden; kidnappers producing god forsaken region of yours.

okoro, abeg borrow a brain, biko.

Prof Corruption: Ha ha ha ha

am I supposed to be surprised? Not a bit! You don't get it.

I don't discuss the nonsense of a presidential material or not that seems to be of interest to you. It's a fcking waste of time. I discuss manifestos, simple and clear. That Fasola is successful in Lagos does not suggest, even remotely, that he ll shine at national level. It has nothing to do with his ability. How many roads can he build in Nigeria within two years that will make us happy? How many Health centres etc? That's not our problem.Nigeria's problem is completely different from that of Lagos.

Our problem is the system of government we run in Nigeria. It makes states lazy, governors greedy and looters, the masses poor. If you put Bill Clinton, the acclaimed Mr Performer in Nigeria presidency, he will fail flatly except he begins by restructuring Nigeria to a workable federation. Nigeria problems do not demand competence, they demand men of uncommon courage that can forgo momentary sweetness of power, confront the conservative and clannish elite and return Nigeria to true federalism. If you are good but lack courage, you simply can't do the job. If you restructure Nigeria and then have folks like Fasola, all well and good.

Hear me loud and clear: I am saying if T.A Orji is campaigning on restructuring Nigeria but Fasola is mouthing road construction, electricity generation nonsense, T.A Orji simply becomes my candidate.


As regards your rantings on tribalism, here is my [b]love letter [/b]to you: who is fcking not a tribalist in Nigeria? Remember you did not attack Bashr8 for visiting toxic, wicked and satanic vituperation on Ikengawo for merely voicing his opinion but you chose to attack me for no other reason than responding to Bashr8 in cash and kind.

I agree with you almost whole-heartedly but giving the ethnocentric nature of Nigeria and the ibos antecedents in the governance of Nigerian, I would not touch T.A Orji with the longest pole. The representations you have made on his behalf are of course valid but if such policy of restructuring the state and governance of Nigeria is held by another candidate who is of another ethnic stock aside ibo, I would gladly cast my vote for him/her.

You also make good points about where Fashola's strengths lie. It is a tall dream but I hope that sooner rather than later, Nigeria would go the route of regional government or disintegration where we would then have Fashola at the helm of our affairs. His expertise in my opinion is second to none.

Eko Ile: If the man is capable of doing what you admire him for with Tinubu in his life, I hope and pray that Tinubu remain in his life. Even sef, I thnk other leaders in Nigeria need Tinubu in their lives since his influence in Lagos is performing magic...

You know what, this is a very valid statement. Although I am not the biggest Tinubu's fan, I couldn't agree more with this pov - so true!

ndu_chucks: Desola on my mind You quoted my post and asked the question above. No wonder my ears and other artifacts were ringing.

oh dear! Sorry ojare.

ndu_chucks: @Jarus, I'm not sure you saw my post where I suggested that the NLers choose the winner of each debate. Since that post, a few other people have made similar suggestions and I'd strongly recommend that the rest of us have some sort of participation in choosing winners via poll - the idea of choosing the winners jointly (NLer and judges 50 - 50, 70-30 or ?) is not a bad one.

I also suggested that after each debate, the judges should work on a document which itemizes the key points of both sides of the debate for publication here on NL, where the document will be accessible for reference by all and sundry. The output of the debates could serve a greater purpose than we may be willing to envision at the moment. What do you guys think about this?

Edo.girl an 'hater'? Prove it!

Hater of who? Of what?

kaodili: R u ok

I could ask you the same.

Are you?

PROUD-IGBO:
^^^Look who's talking! The part in bold applies more to your bloodthirsty self than anyone else on this forum .

Ghostface didn't alert me that there was a change of guard taking place.

Welcome aboard. So, are you on the late night shift?

GhostFaceKiller: NEED A WEED BREAK, BRB!

Be dead!

GhostFaceKiller: yes am tired of your BULLSH1T!

well, i'm glad. That is my job almost done.

GhostFaceKiller: i bet u r one ugly fark

holy mowgly! You have ran out of adjectives that you are now regurgitating, boy, go to bed, you're out of your depth here.

Didn't you say this pages ago?

LOl...he's worn out!

GhostFaceKiller: they chose not to answer you becos they are currently blowing wad of cash in clubs.

its friday by the way you low life creep

Hahaha...did you spot the irony of what you wrote? It's friday night and your kinsmen are off in the club spending wads of cash and you're here battling with low lives? I wonder what that makes you. Ibos are not bright!

GhostFaceKiller: go cure ur std first

only if your mother recommends her miracle cure. And that is presuming that she has found a cure.

GhostFaceKiller: honey you are still a monkey with your supposedly intellectual post. a funny one at that

A monkey from a race that whooped your arses! Now, that's the kind of monkey to be, innit?

GhostFaceKiller: jesus! you think this is amala vs alomo?

either way you will lose.

the ibos have not declared war but you are agitating for one.

what is wrong with you cowards

just the same way Nigeria didn't declare war and you biafrans agitated for one and you got it double! This time, we might have to bring it to you because it appears that you are all mouth. Igba ofifo to n dun ranmu-ranmu. Empty barrel making noise.

GhostFaceKiller: intellectual monkey

considering that we evolved from monkeys, i'll take that as a compliment.

And of course, i'm grateful that you rose to the occassion to prove my thesis about you right.

GhostFaceKiller: well get ready, these guys aren't gonna take it lying down again

Then you'll take it standing up! Either way, you're gonna take it.

simples!

As the "scorpion" said and I paraphrase: if it's moving shoot it, if crawling, you blast! No okoro would be spared this time, i tell ya! You won't even have the opportunity to eat each other like you did in biafra! There would be no one left to eat another!

GhostFaceKiller: tribal chief don land...time to raise the flag

You people can't debate to save your lives. When your back is up the wall, you start to throw insults about and use obscene languages and when you see that those defence mechanism do not work against those who are familiar with your modus-operandi, you then unleash your infantile weapon of bombarding the threads with obscene images. It just shows the level of your inability to engage with others and exposes your vacuous brains.

Nebeuwa: Questioning my identity? How cute. . .

Anyway, carry on with your nonsense. I said my piece.

Did I? I merely told you my race. I am as a matter of fact, a jewish just as you are African American! Are you now questioning my identity too?

Isn't it funny that you would ask that question when clearly, you are not using your real id on this forum? I'm just saying...

GhostFaceKiller: because he said the truth? the man is 81 yrs. you think money is his problem?

he needs the truth to be out... why is Gowon justifying his actions? why is OBJ not commenting?

this is because this is all true.

Nope, he's gagging for blood. He wants you all as sacrificial lambs on the sacrificial tables yet again. I do hope he gets his wish before he kaputes, though.

GhostFaceKiller: desola i cant send another one, answer me

The only explanation I have for your effontary is that you are a few sandwiches short of a picnic. You have totally lost your marbles to have attempted even to send me a private message. Yorubas would say: "ere kilaja n b'omo ekun se?"

Nebeuwa: You do know you are arguing against an African American don't you? Hence I used a colloquial term "hotcakes." Would you like me to define what I mean?

Anyway, Professor Chinua Achebe has huge following amongst non-Igbos since he literary masterpiece, Things Fall Apart was required reading when I was in high school. So of course, people around the world would want to read his biography.

If you're African American, then, i'm jewish.

Kapish?

GhostFaceKiller: that was an illustrative pic. yours is all blackened and warted up beyound repair.

if i posted it i and everyone else will be like this...

A disrespectful child you are to put your mother's business all up like that in the name of illustration.

Ghostfacekiller, you chop winsh? Why you wan send me private message? Abeg, park well o.

Nebeuwa: Still no justification for killing Igbo civilians. None whatsoever.

Chief Obafemi Awolowo committed crimes against humanity. And now the world shall know.

I hear Professor Chinua Achebe's biography is selling like hotcakes.

well...that goes to show you that there are enough ibo people in the world. Also, it counters the claim that 2million ibos died otherwise, how would you justify that many ibo people buying it and making it sell like "hot cake"

GhostFaceKiller: i know it wasnt me. how can any one keep up with your s3x life. i need a roller desk to start with

it wasn't you and you don't know if it was the aristo fark or the other one. You see why you're not only confused, an albino but you are totally irredeemably dense!

There is only one conclusion. If it wasn't you, it has to be your father since you have your mother's g.enitalia picture posted above as proof that your father indeed contracted it and passed it on to your mum.

Case closed.

GhostFaceKiller: it was not. it was either that one nite stand or that aristos fark

Now you're guessing. You don't seem sure.

GhostFaceKiller: you have syphilis.

i will ignore your pox post

...but you know because your father told you so, having contracted it himself, right?

Nebeuwa: What can you all say to me as an outsider?

I call a spade a spade. The Igbo people suffered genocidal actions by the state of Nigeria.

Professor Chinua Achebe is brining the horrors of that war back into the INTERNATIONAL limelight and there is nothing any of you can do about it.

Okay, since you're so quick and able to decipher what genocide is, would you please do me the honour of classifying the killing carried out by ibo leaders, of other regional leaders of Nigeria?

Please give it a label if you wish.
