Thanks

rozayx5: EJ , any where you go i will follow

though i have a sell signal on 5 min chart, let me wait for my morning signal

Hello Rozayx5

That is a one hour chart; what is on that chart that's indicating a sell signal on 5 minutes charting? The price is still above the cloud and there is no red BBStop.

Just a simple explanation.

Thanks

A-town:
Dogs are loyal because they don't have a choice. Same way slaves were loyal to their masters. Wouldn't you be loyal to someone that determines whether you eat or not?

So why aren't cats loyal? Don't folks feed their cats?

Onlytruth: Let me start on a sombre note because of the sudden abdication of the throne by our brother Odumchi.

I have many things to say and I shall try to capture all the points as much as possible.

I start by saying that the sudden departure of Odumchi throws a wrench in the works of our little “organisation” of Ndigbo here in Nairaland. I personally did not expect him to resign. All I said was that he should appoint a cabinet and start work immediately, because there is a clear vacuum of leadership among Ndigbo here because of his distance and silence. My greatest concern was not about anything more than that Ndigbo were already beginning to tear at each other across state lines. I had wanted that to be checked by somebody in Igbo leadership here, often with a single comment or two calling warring parties to order and warning them of consequence if they didn't stop.

None of that happened.

I remember how we labored to cage some renegade characters who cause division in Igboland. We succeeded to some extent because their activities have reduced drastically (though Mad-cow just joined them this year). It has often (and always) been my belief that if Ndigbo can stand together, we can achieve ANYTHING, whether as Nigerians or as Biafrans (both options remain on the table). However, we shall achieve NOTHING if all we do is look at each other from across state, LGA, geopolitical zones, and towns divides. To me, that is even the most urgent job for the Eze here. When we make significant achievement in that direction, believe me Nigeria will beg us to become the kings of Nigeria. That is the basis of my mindset and worldview as far as Ndigbo are concerned. Odum was my Prime minister during my tenure, and I had hoped he would step in fully, but I was wrong. I respect his wishes.

The second issue I want to discuss is that of the manner in which the owner of this site (or his sidekick called Mukina2) banned me without any concrete reason other than a show of power. I believe that the moderators of this section (OAMJ4, Afam4ever (ezigbo nwa), and erstwhile Jarus, know my views about such show of power. Without any intent to insult much, I believe that it is logically anachronistic that a business owner would “ban” someone contributing to his business. LOL. I am from Nnewi, a typical business town, and own an existing business in Nigeria, and about to start a potentially bigger one here in the US this year; so I understand how important certain “builders” are to business. In conventional business (brick and mortar business), one of such builders group are “contacts” (sometimes people pay millions to get them). The contact may not be giving you money directly, but definitely does so indirectly. I believe I am a builder in Nairaland, who even deserve PAY for building this site with solid comments and insights. So, I would be damned to ever accept been banned by anybody here. LOL. There are two ways I can react to this ban, and I would not discuss any for now, so let me move on to the main gist here.

I am pondering what to do about another run at this office. Ordinarily, I would not even think of running again (refer to my belief about being an unappreciated builder on Nairaland); but I am contemplating another run because I even see some people trying to reverse psych me, a typical nwa afo Igbo. LOL. They hope that by insulting me, I would fall for their windbagged gambits.
Perhaps the most compelling reason for me to run is because none of the people who I have personally worked with and noted their commitment to Ndigbo and leadership strengths, wants to run. PointB for example is my idea of an excellent replacement for me. FACE (who has not come to Nairaland for sometime now) is another. Both are from Abia state, the state that produce top leaders and generals (not that it matters though). I still would beg PointB to hand over this electoral bag to someone else and take up this role. I am not a good bureaucrat, I would have offered myself for this election commissioner job, even if to relieve PointB and deny him any more excuses.

In the absence of these men I can vouch for, another man that I would LOVE to replace me here is Alex101. I have known Alex for a few years now, and he is a lion heart. I also know his LGA in Imo state (Ideato South, LGA). This area is known for producing some of the best Igbo sons and daughters in ALL fields ( business, education, politics, military, etc). So, I would endorse Alex to replace me if I decide not to run. If Alex emerges, I believe we can support him with Igbo eggheads here (who fully understand what the deal is about Nigeria and Biafra). If we do that, he would make an excellent Eze.

I also wish to appeal to ANY able Igbo man to step up and contest this election. We need you NOW.
Talk and criticisms and side tackles are very easy, but they are reserved for COWARDS. The best way to prove yourself is to step up and offer yourself for service. I believe I have done mine.

For all those who accuse me of pushing out Odumchi, what can I say since you've already made up your minds. LOL. But bear one thing in mind, IGBO UNITY is very fragile, and any Eze MUST always show up for a fight anytime he sees that unity being threatened by anybody in this site. It is one of the reasons why we all HATE Alj-harem. He always works to disunite us. So, our new Eze must never keep quiet when he sees Igbo going freely at one another. I know that the job is tasking, and may even portend some personal risks, but Ndigbo say that “okwukwe ka nwa ewu ji amago nne ya” (it takes a higher level of faith to attempt the seemingly impossible).

Let this process continue. I shall make my decision known to you subsequently.

Dalu nu. Jisie nu ike.

Igbo nma nma nu!

Signed,

Onlytruth.

Damn, this dude is proud.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

There is a screw loose in your head.

Assassinations committed during OBJ's era is not the same as OBJ being behind the assassinations. I didn't for once suggest or imply that the names I mentioned were the only ones assassinated during Abacha's tenure. I merely mentioned those that were allegedly killed by Abacha.

I am not surprised about your reasons for the deaths of Yaradua and Omotehinwa, the money probably paid into your account ensures you report it as such.

Those paying don't have better things to do with their money or they can't smarter, better, and more intelligent folks to employ. Only an idiot would compare assassinations bankrolled by a number of different people to those compared by one man.

inufele2: I threw the challenge to one of them on this thread yesterday and he was blabbing about how Nzeogwu murdered several defenceless civilians on their beds as an act of bravery!
These people brag about their non existent bravery, there is no record of any extraordinary bravery of these people yet they won't stop boasting.

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.

GenBuhari: Ok, Apart from assassinations of Kudirat Abiola and Pastor Rewane, neither of which I doubt Abacha carried out ( He did not have to engage in assassinations he would lock people up if they became a nuisance), what other political assassinations can you recall?

It appears that you are very ignorant or can't find another way to earn a living. How much is the Abacha family paying you for this PR work?

Abacha killed Admiral Omotehinwa, YaraAdua senior. What about the officers who disappeared and have never been seen since?

What about failed attempted assasinations of Ibru, Abraham Adesanya, Alani Akinriade, Gani etc.?

What about many NADECO chieftains who fled to avoid his gunmen?

Something must be wrong with you to state 'apart from the assassinations of Kudirat Abiola and Pastor Rewane,'. A head of state was murdering his citizens so that he stays in power for ever and you are belittling their deaths. Should anyone die because a bastard refuge wants to stay in power for ever? Was Abacha even from Nigeria? Was the mad man not from Chad?

And before you come back with your list of how many folks OBJ may have killed, you can shove that list up your a*** hole. No one cares about OBJ let alone accept the fact that OBJ's misdeeds do not delete Abacha's sins.

You are soiling the name of a great person in Buhari by persisting with this dumbfounding, ludicrous, and silly defense of Abacha.

Dede1: I guess in a hurry to score cheap point for your team of ethnic bigots, you did not peruse my post or you were struck with common sickness of deficiency in comprehension. Again, the coalition government was forged between NPC and NCNC. However, there were political alliances between parties. Such alliances produced NNA and UPGA. I suggest you kick the habit of laziness and tribal parochialism while you get educated.

See your original post below; who were the AG members who were part of the government in the first republic? Stop using insults to mask your ignorance. And while you are it, stop dancing around the main issues. Do you know the meaning of coalition? I will not respond to any of your posts if you can't simply admit to your error or tell us how the AG was in the ruling coalition in the 1st Republic.

Dede1: Of course, I had to leave it. Why should I take myriad of unintelligible craps?

One of the problems with Nigeria is the country teeming with tribal irredentists who had closed minds to reality. NNDP was the not leading coalition partner. The coalition was between NNA and UPGA. In the coalition, NPC and NCNC were senior partners while NNDP, AG, UMBC, NEPU, NDC, MDF, UNIP, NPF, UNP and ZCP were junior partners in the coalition.

Due to undue tribal pressure, you kept thinking Akintola was the main mover in the political scene of 60s in Nigeria. To the best of my knowledge, SL Akintola was a rabid tribal icon and master of butt licker.

Dede1: When I said Nigeria is teeming with loudmouthed fools who are miserably ill-educated, I meant every word. Did the above poster remotely insinuate that NCNC and AG form UMBC? You will not gain any knowledge from me. By the way, what does UMBC represents? There are parties other than NNDP that joined NPC to form alliance known as NNA.

Again, the election in reference was boycotted in the wards NNA had stronghold by certain parties due to alleged irregularities in the Balewa's government conduct of Nigerian census.

Again, the act of flaunting ignorance in the public seems to score high among certain group of people in Nigeria.

I meant UPGA, it was an error on my part. In any case, there was a coalition between AG and NCNC for the 1964 election.

You accuse others of being fools yet your posts indicate that you are the most dangerous poster because your posts are filled with half-truths, lies, and misinformation. Weren't you the poster who stated that the AG was in a coalition with NPC and NCNC? Perhaps you don't know the meaning of coalition. If you do know the meaning of coalition, can you provide the names of the AG members who were part of the government in the first republic?

Your point about elections being boycotted in certain wards is not relevant to the debate.

Dede1: Of course, I had to leave it. Why should I take myriad of unintelligible craps?

Seriously, you need to see a shrink or a doctor.

Action Group was in the coalition with NPC and NCNC?

Kunle is correct. The first coalition was between NPC and NCNC; after Akintola left the AG, he formed NNDP and that party joined the coalition. It was Akintola joining the coalition that caused the rift between NCNC and NPC. In the election of 1964, NCNC formed a coalition with AG to form UMBC while NPC and NNDP formed the ruling coalition. It was defeat in that election that led Zik not to call Balewa to form a government and the subsequent constitutional crisis of January 1965.

Dede1: Negro nuts,

I shall not get into debate with you and naijababe over Dr Sylvester Anieke because I have grown to understand that any position, in Nigeria especially in Yoruba land, filled with non-Yoruba, the candidate or the person automatically becomes quark and unqualified in the eyes of Yoruba peeps. So the case of Dr Sylvester Anieke as the Chairman in Council (governing council) of University of Ibadan was no exception.

On this thread, you have tried, in vain I might add, to dispel certain positions which you believe to be false or incorrect. Why stop now? Please tell us why you believe Anieke was not a forger. Was Anieke not appointed by Zik despite having been made to leave his prior appointment at UI in a scandal?

And I am not Negro_ntns.

Dede1: I guess you sounded very unintelligent out of the block with the above post. You have every right to believe anything you want. However, you should also bear in mind that beliefs are not translation of truths or factual facts. It is your cherished headache to dwell on statements from a character such as Richard Akinjide who has been known as a person that could not separate seeds from the chaffs even when his life depended on such endeavor.

I guess she didn't realise that you would ignore the valid points she raised and instead proceed with entertaining us with other 'relevant' information.

naijababe: Dede1, what is it with you and half truths! Have you forgotten the part where the same Akinjide on becoming minister found out that close to 80% of the recipients of the federal schorlarship were Igbo? Or the part where Azikiwe chose to foist Dr Anieke - a certificate forger who had erstwhile been forced to resign from U.I as head of the teaching hospital on the same U.I as the chairman of the University's governing council?!

Don't be silly, haven't you heard that Igbos are the most intelligent folks in the world and hence deserve more than 80% of scholarship beneficiaries? If it were up to me, it would have been 97%. Also, aren't you aware that Anieke's forged certificate was planted by Yoruba Navy seals in a bid to discredit him?

Eziachi: Majority? Thousands of people were murdered in 1966 because of the action of probably 20 army officers and the majority cheered, and this night alone you are trying to make sense about majority and minority at last?
Give me a break!

No surprises here, everything starts and ends with 1966/67. You can educate yourself on the events of the 60s; I have no intentions of discussing that.

Eziachi: I don't do the usual hypocritical Nigerian use of age to hide from the truth. I have not discussed any age with you before, now or even for the future. I didn't ask you to treat me differently because of your age,so what the heck are you talking about? What has age got to do with it?

Of course you want to ignore age now that it has been pointed out to you that you are acting like a juvenile. Many white racists in the US were against Obama but could Obama have won without the votes of other Caucasians? I hope you understand that analogy.

Eziachi: You can twist it as you like but we all knew what most Nigerians were saying after the first two games. It was only last two weeks it happens, some of us still has their memory in a sharp mode. I am not saying you are one of them, but don't pretend that it didn't happen.

If kids are behaving like kids, should elders behave like kids? You are an elderly person, you shouldn't be encouraging this sort of behaviour. That a few people were mocking the team after two games doesn't mean a majority of Nigerians were mocking the team.

Eziachi: Its not pathetic and DON'T BLAME THEM. as every action results into a reaction. If they didn't term them a Biafra team with a Biafra manager when things wasn't going well as expected, they won't come back talking about the team make up.

Don't pretend not to know that some Igbo sons were tagging it a Biafran team even before the first ball was kicked in anger. I don't particularly care who started it. The facts remain that a worthy achievement is being tainted by idiots. This is not Nigeria's first nations cup; Nigeria has won in the past with more balanced representation.

Keshi was appointed to pick a team and he has done well for Nigeria. End of story.

The comments on this thread are pathetic. Instead of celebrating, some idiots are looking at the make up of the team and assigning percentages to ethnic groups.

BankoleNco: Martins? Skillful? Are you serious? Martins is just one muscle headed power house. . . He wasn't the best striker, but he was powerful.

Who said anything about Martins being the best striker? You made a comment about Emenike being better because he is quicker and more skillful than Yekini and I responded that Martins is also quicker and more skillful than Yekini. The point I am trying to make which is flying over your head is that players are not judged on individual characteristics on a short term. And yes, Martins is skillful.

But based on your posts on this thread, one isn't surprised.

Victor Moses

Rossikk: In some ways he's even better than Yekini already. He's quicker and more skillful than Yekini.

Obafemi Martins is also quicker and more skillful than Yekini; will we say that he is better than Yekini today? It takes more than one tournament to become a legend.

BankoleNco: How come Rashidi Yekini never played in a noteworthy club, or even feature in the champions league? Most players from his SE era did . . . . Anyone say LOCAL CHAMPION?

Please name the Nigerian players who played in the Champions League before 1994. In fact, name the Africans who did.
Opportunities were limited back then.

He is not even close. Emenike still has a long way to go.
