Politics / Re: If You’re The President Of Nigeria, How Will You Tackle Corruption? by ElekeNtioba: 3:54pm On May 09, 2015
Borrussia:
I go against that, since petty thieves are being killed why can't the same punishment go to our politicians? Very simple, they have what it takes to buy themselves outta such predicament.

dats why GEJ said "stealing is not corruption". A petty thief steals out of desperation or as a last resort to feed himself or family while a politician embezzles public funds simply out of greed. They are not in the same category.

Petty thieves are only killed (according to the law) if they engage in "armed robbery". I dont see hw a politician can buy himself out of court decision.

Capital punishment is the only way if we want to be serious abt tackling corruption. Its too endemic in our society.

Chiwetalu Ejiofor is a white washed self hating sell out, if he could have one wish in life it would be to become a white man, how can a man who is proud of his heritage refer to himself as British in a country that reminds all black people born here that "there is no black in the Union Jack"? dumbass coon! undecided

Chiwetalu should understand that if not for the acting jobs he gets in the US he would be permanently unemployed, when was the last time a white English film director cast him in any of their films? fck outta here!

why d high bp?? The guy has very little emotional connection to Nigeria. Infact, the only link is dat his parents are from Nigeria. Would he deny the country that made him what he is today just to please u?? COuld Nigeria have given him d opportunities Britain gave to him. Lets be realistic.

Chiwetel if anything has promoted his Igbo heritage wherever he has d chance. He speaks fluent Igbo if u must know. I've watched a video of his family celebrating an occasion all wearing igbo traditional attire.

I think d best way to describe him is "British of Igbo heritage". Nigeria is just a geographical expression cheesy cheesy

hollywood is 1000 times bigger dan d British film industry and many white british stars have relocated to America to pursue roles. So ur assertion is pointless.

Lmao...you are like a gift that keeps on giving, and you're yet to put ya money where ya mouth is to defend the greatest coward who ever liveth, apart from re-writing history, to suit ya fantasies.

1). Napoleon stayed alive because he was never killed nor captured in any battle - even the ones he lost.

2). There was no way Northerners would have killed Ojukwu. The whole world was watching, and there was enormous pressure on the UK, due to Biafran propaganda machined, oiled by the Christian missionaries, foreign press and red cross.

3). Charles De Gaulle never did an Ojukwu - he kept fighting till the end of the war. Heck, he led a unit of French and British forces. Also, wasn't De Gaulle sentenced to death in absentia by the French military for not being part of the French armistice with the Germans? And that was a guy who didn't do an Ojukwu. Even Paul Reynaud, the leader of France, before Petain took over, never fled. The Nazis also didn't kill him when he was arrested.

4). By ya logic, then Harriet Tubman, one of the bravest women ever to walk this planet, who freed slaves via safe houses (underground railroad) - must have been a coward as well, no? It was a revolution and the yanks were outgunned, until the French joined. So, using safe houses was more of guerrilla warfare - than anything as cowardly as what Ojukwu did. But they still won the war.

Not holding brief for the crying man and others who cried - but even the toughest nyggahs cry from time to time. But Ojukwu was in a league of his own, when it comes to cowardice. He fled from non-Anambra Biafrans and also fled on a voyage to Ivory Coast like a biitch. The biggest cowardly war-time general ever. Even when he got to Ivory Coast - rather than help Biafra, he was taking pictures with women. grin

Not surprised cos Nnamdi Azikwe the Zik of Onitsha and the biggest opportunist ever shared the same trait. He also left Biafra hanging after taking money. grin Anyway, the only two Igbos from that era that I somewhat rate were: Christopher Okigbo (the great writer) and Kaduna Nzeogwu (his ideology). Too bad they were both killed during the war - while cowardly Ojukwu and the opportunistic Zik of Onitsha stayed alive. grin grin grin grin

I'm wondering if you are really worth my while. I opened up a debate with you cos i tot u sounded reasonable amongst all ur folks on this thread but honestly, you are no longer making sense. U ar just bent on ur assertions regardless of how ludicrous u sound. Let me try again:

1. It's obvious u dont have a good account of Napoleon history, particularly the wars that led to his downfall. The allies never attempted to capture or kill him. Twice they defeated him and twice they forced him to exile on each occasion. They could have finished him off if they wanted to. They forced him to Elba the first time and blockaded it. He escaped, went to Paris and raised an army. After some initial victories, they defeated him again, forced him this time to Helena. He tried severally and couldnt escape from Helena. They let him be and even allowed him start his govt there without interfering. WHY DID THEY ALLOW HIM?? Because killing or capturing him would be adding insult to injury for the french. Napoleon was a french icon and their only objective was to remove him from power. Pls read up his history, i hate repeating myself.

2. Thats what they said in Sri Lanka a few years ago. The Sri Lankan govt forces cornered the leader of Tamil rebels in their last territory, killed him and claimed he was killed in a shoot-out. Nobody, i repeat nobody challenged their claim because they was no contrary evidence. The world moved on. Angolan govt forces did same too when they launched an operation that led to the killing of rebel leader Savimbi. Guess what, after a few eyebrows raised abt it, everybody moved on. The fact u keep repeating this assertion makes me believe u must be very naive. Even after i told u of biafran officers killed days AFTER....i repeat...AFTER the surrender...smh

3. Again its obvious u know ntin abt history. You are only confusing urself lumping events together. After Germany defeated and occupied France, Petain signed an armistice with the Germans. Gaulle who had ALREADY gone into exile denounced the agreement and insisted dat d french should continue resisting and thats why they sentenced him to death in ABSENTIA. He went on an exile first to Britain where he formed a parallel govt made up of members of d french resistance. He later moved to Algeria (then a french colony) after falling out with Churchill. yes, he later raised an army to take back France with considerable support from the allies. I ASK YOU AGAIN....did Gaulle going into exile...make him a coward or do u prefer he surrendered to the Germans to be made a public spectacle..??

4. I dont understand ur analogy abt the tubman. i was ASKING YOU if Washington and other yankee rebel leaders were cowards for making use of safe houses to protect themselves from the more powerful Britons.

The only reason Zik supported Biafra initially was just cos of massive Igbo support for Biafra. Igbos were his pple and u dont turn ur back on ur pple. Even during the war he kept a respectable distance from Ojukwu's govt and the way Ojukwu ran his govt also didnt help matters. Even today no Igbo begrudges him, cos we understand what it felt to watch d country u helped found torn apart. If Zik was an opportunist, i wonder what ur Awolowo would be called... angry

After all said and done, Here are the facts:

Diya is a coward grin grin
Ojukwu is more courageous than all ur military officers combined grin grin

Erm, the crux of the matter is that: Napoleon never eloped like Ojukwu, he fought like warrior. Also, where's the proof that Northerners would've killed Ojukwu, when they never touched Effiong? If he had surrendered, the UK would've given him immunity cos there was pressure on the British government. And I doubt Nigeria wanted any international backlash his death would have caused - by taking his life after he surrendered. Nzeogwu was a different kettle of fish entirely - he killed Ahmadu Bello and disrespected the Northern institution, by doing some crazy shiit. Ojukwu on the other hand wasn't overtly involved in that coup, apart from running his mouth everywhere.

Lol. The French World War 1 hero who was partly responsible for the defeat of Germany, Petain, was also the one who surrendered to the German forces during World War 2. So, why didn't the Nazis kill him, after he surrendered? De Gaulle also played an important in the 2nd world war, why didn't the Germans kill him as well?

I was alluding to the book Alexander Madiebo wrote before Ojukwu passed away, not the one after his death. Go read that book again. Ojukwu was scared of both non-Anambra biafrans and Nigerian soldiers - so scared he was hiding from bunker to bunker. His paranoia made him court-martial Ifeajuna and Victor Banjo. What a coward that man was - a terrible soldier no one should ever emulate, apart from cowards.

When/where did both George Washington and Charles De Gualle flee like Ojukwu? You mean the same George Washington who led the American revolution and independence war fled? And a Charles De Gualle who put the French back on the world map, as a super power on its own, without the Anglo-American axis, during the cold war, also fled? How about educate me with academic proofs?

napoleon fought like a warrior because he they allowed him to stay alive after defeating him twice.

Lol...what proof do u want dat northerner could have killed him. Its common sense. Do u expect him to wait and find out what what will happen to him....smh

ur powerful britons could do ntin to stop d 1966 progrom, they did ntin to stop d starvation policy against Biafra which was termed genocidal by some western analysts. They couldnt stop nigerian soldiers from comitting so many war crimes. And u expect Ojukwu to put his fate in their hands....smh

Nigerian soldiers were killing biafran senior officers days AFTER Biafra's surrender. What saved Effiong was cos he's d one to sign off on surrender docs. The other officers particularly Igbos among them were either killed or escaped.

Charles de Gaulle fled when d Germans defeated and occupied France in WW2. He formed and led the govt in exile. He only returned to France when d allies recaptured it from d germans. By ur reasoning he should have fought to death or surrendered in the first place...right??

Washington and other founding fathers of America moved from one safe house to another to avoid capture by the more powerful Royalists. I ask again does that make them cowrds...?

What ur definition of a coward. The man who stands up for his pple and took precautions to preserve his life like Washington, Gaulle, Ojukwu OR the general who wept like a kid cos he was afraid of his life....after wilfully and knowingly plotting a coup...Jeez!

The more u argue the more i see d same 'diya trait' in you...give it up and move on.....no shame in being who u are grin grin

Can you read? Where in my post did I posit anything about Napoleon being captured?

I said he never did an Ojukwu and he was forced into exile by European powers. Ojukwu on the other hand ran like a biitch, from Ulu airport, like a thief in the night. What happened to fighting till the end like a war-time general ought to have done?

Brev, Madiebo alluded to many stories about Ojukwu's cowardice, from running from bunker to bunker cos of the Nigerian army, to running from non-Anambra Igbos etc.. He never even fired a shot throughout that war. The man was cowardice personified apart from talking loud for propaganda.

i was trying to tell u d reason d allies didnt capture or kill napoleoen was out of respect. They could have finished him off if they wanted but they didnt. They forced him to Elba and left him there, he escaped and started another war. They defeated him d second time and forced him to Helena. They even allowed him to setup his govt there. They treated him with respect cos of his status to d french pple. I doubt Ojukwu would have gotten same treatment from blood-thirsty northerners. Go and search for the image of Nzeogwu and see what they did to him when he was captured. Thats why all senior biafran military officers had to get Ojukwu out of d country even at the risk of their own lives.

If he had been a coward like u say, they wont have treated him with respect years after. Even azikiwe who changed sides repeatedly during d war didnt command such respect. Many of them are still alive; Madiebo, Achuzia, Nwobosi etc

Show me that war-time general that surrendered to the enemy when he was sure they will kill him. Pls show me when and where it happened in history.

I dont know where u get ur tales, Madiebo never had anything bt respect for Ojukwu. Read his piece after Ojukwu's death. Ojukwu took precautions (he had many enemies even inside Biafra)...i dont see hw dat makes him coward.

George Washington, Charles de Gualle (who went into exile at some point) all took precautions to preserve their life from more powerful enemies. I guess they are cowards too..huh??

Diya is bloody coward. Displaying the cowardly trait in his pple. Calling Ojukwu a coward doesnt change dat fact.

I've carefully omitted Ogundipe all this while. If I get started on him, u'll have tears of shame streaming from ur eyes....grin grin grin

What are you lying for?

Napoleon never fled and he never did an Ojukwu. After his army was defeated - he retreated back to Paris, with his men.

Anyway, if you can read - read this:

After his defeat at the Battle of Leipzig in October 1813, Napoleon retreated to Paris where (due to a lack of support from his military marshals) he was forced to renounce his throne in April 1814. The European powers exiled him to the island of Elba in the Mediterranean. Within eleven months, however, Napoleon was back on the European continent at the head of a hastily-raised army intent on restoring Napoleon to the throne of France. Napoleon's defeat came in June 1815 at the Battle of Waterloo.

This time, the European powers were not going to take any chances on Napoleon's possible return. They exiled him to the island of St. Helena - a barren, wind-swept rock located in the South Atlantic Ocean.


http://www.eyewitnesstohistory.com/napoleon.htm


Ojukwu was on his own as the biggest coward ever. I remember an excerpt from Madiebo's book about how Ojukwu ran, before the war started, when rumours got to Biafra that the Nigerian troops were coming. Madiebo said Ojukwu didn't come out of the bunker for almost a week, and the war was yet to start then. grin

And he was meant to lead a war. grin

no need lying thru ur teeth...

Napoleon was never captured, he was roundly defeated and FORCED into an exile TWICE. The only reason the allies didnt want to go all the way, cos they were civilized and respected his status as 'emperor' of france. Ojukwu on the other hand would have been killed if they captured him. Onwuategwu another conspirator during d 1966 coup ( he worked with Nzeogwu) personally escorted Ojukwu to the plane. He was killed by Nigerian soldiers days AFTER d surrender of Biafra.


I read Madiebo book years back. His acct was more detailed because he he was d commander of d biafran army. He stated it as he saw it.

Right from the onset of d war, there was a kill order from Nigeria against Ojukwu. They felt the war would end faster with him gone. There was even an attempted poisoning of his food. He had to start eating only foods prepared by catholic nuns.

So what...during the world war, hitler had a kill order on him from the allies. He had many bunkers he used dring the allied bombardment of germany. Does taking precautions make him a coward...smh

keep turning accts upside down to justify ur pple's cowardice.
