jason123:
It's called "vare". I said this when ohanaeze was endorsing GJ. The big three does not exist anymore. Infact an ijaw man came on this forum and said it now "WAZOVARE" NOT "WAZOBIA". SMH at this disorganised country.

Wazovare? Doesn't sound bad at all.

Also, how do you say "come" in Ijaw?

Maybe Wazobia needs to be revised  

It looks like there is a new big three. . .

May this "plot" succeed.

I dey laugh o!  

Warning against starting violence, sure. But against retaliation?

Does this bishop want them wiped out?

UN or AU peacekeepers invited into Jos, perhaps? I don't trust the Nigerian military to handle the job fairly.

Oil likely has the highest profit margins

That video is embarrassing. . . she sounds like a 4 year old

Some of the comments in this thread are absolutely hilarious

[quote="houvest"]Which others sources sir? Intuition ke? The reasons given by the OP's source are credible to me.[/quote]Just Google around a bit. . . I wish I'd saved the links but didn't bother. Regarding intuition, I didn't say your own intuition, I said mine.

[quote author=ndu_chucks link=topic=592779.msg7609181#msg7609181 date=1296072756]Are you people idolizing and glorfying these dispicable criinal activities? Do you know home many lives were ruined, including those of Nigerians by the identity thefts and financial crimes perpetrated by these low lifes?

I hope they are caught and subsequently stoned. Barawo banza.[/quote]In no way am I trying to idolize or glorify what he did. Just pointing out how tough it is to do what he did. Not even 1 in 1000 people could do it, I think.

^-- Proly if you divide the population of the core north in 2, you probably get a better approximation of the truth than the current #.

houvest:
And why would nobody believe that the population of Hausas and Fulanis in Sudan are in their millions. Any reason? If the source says that and gave the reasons, why the cynicism?

Doesn't seen like a credible source, other sources you can Google contradict it, and most importantly (for me) it doesn't make intuitive sense.

Profile in hand, he would run a credit check on victims through annualcreditreport.com, a website set up by the big three credit-reporting agencies. Onwuhara had discovered a flaw in the Experian portion of the site, which screened users with a personalized security question and several multiple-choice answers. Users had to click on the correct answer to proceed. But when Onwuhara refreshed his browser, he found that the site replaced certain answers with new ones. Clearly, these were red herrings. Onwuhara knew the correct answer to the security question would appear persistently on screen as he refreshed.

He knew the questions he'd get. Usually he had the answers, along with account numbers, balances, and passwords. Altering his gravelly voice like a professional actor, he could switch ethnicity, age, and accent on a whim. A customer service rep was easy prey.

Ezenwa ("E" Onyedebelu, a promising young student from Dallas whom Onwuhara had tapped as his protégé, laundered money. Henry Obilo, a hulking pre-med student who doubled as Onwuhara's bodyguard, specialized in Bank of America (BAC, Fortune 500) information.

It was around this time that Onwuhara grew suspicious that law enforcement might be on to him. FBI agents had placed both a pen register and a trap-and-trace device on his phone, which let them record all outgoing and incoming numbers. Onwuhara somehow found out. When he called Cingular/AT&T (T, Fortune 500), his cellphone carrier, the company "accidentally" revealed the name and number of the FBI technician tracking him, according to an FBI affidavit in support of a criminal complaint. But people who know Onwuhara don't think it was an accident.

"He has a way of getting people to tell him everything," Gipson says.

Nail consulted Etienne and the assistant U.S. attorney on the case. They decided to make the arrest. The agents on the ground followed the speeding cars to the Hard Rock Casino in Fort Lauderdale. The Acura and the BMW screeched to a halt at the curb in front of the casino. The drivers rushed inside, where local police detained them. The man from the BMW wasn't Onwuhara but rather his protégé, Ezenwa Onyedebelu. In the seconds before the FBI arrived with handcuffs to make the arrest, Matthews whipped out her cellphone and fired off a text: "Leave now. They got us."

Somewhere inside the Hard Rock, maybe at one of his beloved craps tables, one of the greatest cyberscammers in history looked up from his phone, calmly headed for a back door, and hailed a cab. Then he melted into the night. He hasn't been seen since.

This guy is an absolute LEGEND! Someone needs to make a movie based on him.

Damn. That is one impressive crook.

Totally agree. Israel could kick the ass of all African countries together, not to talk of just Nigeria alone.

However. . . wishing for Israel to intervene directly is more than unrealistic.

Too many southerners there and wealthy northerners, not riff-raff types who would cause mayhem.

At least, this is what I've seen.

PhysicsMHD's knowledge of Nigerian history is extremely impressive.

These governors are insane. How is this a good investment? Stadiums

Not roads, electricity, water?

Lol 

So weird. . .

^-- From what I read, they were keen on seeing a major black-run African state fall apart. Guess I don't need to explain why Rhodesia and SA saw how this was advantageous for them.

Completely OT, but I met someone from Kano today here in the US! Woman has been here for 18 years.

I've met under 50 Northerners in my life in the US, so I was really surprised.

I assume they are more numerous in the UK, but the are very scarce here.

^-- Eh, nobody believes that the population of Hausa and Fulani in Sudan is in the millions. . . I suspect that is why no one is responding to what is almost certainly wrong info.

PhysicsMHD:
I think the support that racist colonial Portugal, South Africa, and Rhodesia stealthily gave to Biafra suggests they may have viewed Biafra and Nigeria in exactly opposite terms from your own. Perhaps someone could explain why.

I wonder why the Biafrans here never bring that up. How noble a cause could it have been, that it was supported by three racist, white states?

@Gbawe: Yep. I'm not really interested in seeing the ACN destroyed; ultimately it is the best vehicle for us to achieve our objectives. I just want to see it reformed.

Anyway, it isn't as if all ACN folk approve of Tinubu's highhanded ways. Probably even a majority are against it. But there isn't much they can do right now, I guess. He who pays the piper calls the tune

Warrior, you need to trademark your "girl pick-up" style ASAP.

I think it should be called "cuss to conquer"  [/quote]

@fstranger: I've wondered, do you use this strategy in RL too? I've known some dudes who it has been extremely effective for, just wondering if you are one of them. Like, playful teasing gives good results, but this other strategy you are using. . . seems a bit dicey.

^---

Posts like that just crack me up. Shows deep, deep delusion.

Cool article. I don't like how they imply that it isn't the gov'ts job to make it cheaper, though Not a fan of socialist, big-govt sort of thinking.

Tinubu is a cancer 

I hope that the ACN will be able to excise this cancer that threatens its health. . . but I'm not sure that this is what will happen.

[quote author=EzeUche_ link=topic=592030.msg7597557#msg7597557 date=1295931695]They use tribe for Africans, even though many of our ethnicities are much larger than their own group. How come the Welsh with a population of 5 million people be considered an ethnicity, while the Igbo are considered a tribe with a population of 25+ million.[/quote]I've always hated the word tribe for that reason. Just seems disrespectful somehow. An entire nation of people shouldn't be called a tribe.
