[quote author=ekt_bear link=topic=700237.msg8604444#msg8604444 date=1309230305]Most of what I wrote is correct. The part that might be incorrect ("certainly was not in the past"? Well at least the old Rivers State area was not majority Igbo, as of 1957.

See Chapter 7, page 47 (well, 57 in a PDF reader) of the Willinks Report:
http://www.adakaboro.org/thewillinkcomm[/quote]Since everything you write is correct, can you tell me the parts of Rivers state that have become Igbo that weren't originally settled by Igbo progenitors?

Just 3/5 or 2/4 of it (from the north). Not even like that's the most Igbo speakers are in that state.

[quote author=ekt_bear link=topic=700237.msg8604406#msg8604406 date=1309229739]Rivers is Igbo? It is probably majority Igbo now but certainly was not in the past. Large chunks of it are historically non-Igbo.[/quote]Why don't people stick to things they know?

[quote author=ekt_bear link=topic=700237.msg8604251#msg8604251 date=1309226722]Hehe. See, that is why you'll never get your Biafra. While there is oil in that ground, it isn't going with you. If you want a Biafra of just the SE zone, I personally don't give a damn whether you go or not. But if you want to carry Rivers State too?

Then time for war[/quote]Who's going to fight for you this time, Tivi? Benue? Berom?



The arms trade is a serious business now, Israel doesn't have a six-day war now, Israel is armed to the teeth now, Egypt doesn't have the money to support you now (or the time), Britain doesn't give a shit about you now, Britain can't give you sneaky arms in this CCTV world (unlike the backward 60's), Russia is a dead bear now, the world isn't partial to Muslims now, China have deals with Igbo people now, the world knows about the Biafran genocide now, Ijaw is regretting their betrayal now (a key to the Biafran fall as well as other groups), "Biafra would have been better", "We need their (Igbo) number" — MEND.

Bring it on.

How is this too much to ask for, look:

The northerners like sharia: true.
The northerners might as well be in an Islamic state: true.
The northerners do not dislike Boko Haram: true.
The northerners would not mind their own country: true

Then give them their country!

[quote author=ndu_chucks link=topic=700149.msg8604124#msg8604124 date=1309223301]ngwannu, he is a weak link and a weaklin.  But why did you people rig vote for him en mass? Were you clueless of these characteristics?[/quote]As far as I can see, there's no bombing in south eastern Nigeria.

'Weak link' is actually fine.

Well, we saw the (Jewish?) girl that travelled to Ibadan to learn Yoruba. Nigerian languages can be taught.

I give up.
But in Ancient China just like in ancient Egypt, there monarchs had palace Architects, Poets, Painters, writers and priests. That was why the Kings were able to build elaborate palaces , burial places and religious structures. We did not have such, except of course in your village.

Are you supposed to be a Nigerian architect, what did you study exactly? Nigerian kingdoms had kings who will have to have to have poets, artists, and writers (in the wider sense) to carry on a successful reign and to put their names into history. I can't believe a Nigerian architecture student is arguing for Nigerians not having burial places or religious structures until 150 years ago. Really?

Tell me, do you think the following buildings had no planner or designers, that they were just made from heaps of mud one day?

An independent Sharia state (country), they don't want to be with "non-believers". They are also targeting Muslims that support Nigeria and the military action threatened and carried out against them.

paragonpro:
Please name one architect or designer before the repatriated Brazilian slaves

I don't know any, just like I don't know any architects of ancient China. Can you name a textile designer before 150 years ago? Does that mean there were no textiles back then?

[quote author=EzeUche! link=topic=700149.msg8601343#msg8601343 date=1309190128]Maybe sooner than 2015. . . [/quote]I don't even want a rush, let things slowly work out.

Anyway, everyone would have done the same thing as the ex-Governor.

Boko Haram will give Nigerians freedom from the Nigerian hell. They may be the ones to actually break the country.

paragonpro:
When i say Nigerian Architecture, i mean architecture as conception and designing by an architect or master builder before construction. Except you want to term a hut and even a cave as Architecture

So it was only huts and caves built before 150 years ago? You're saying there was no such thing as a designer or architect before 150 years ago?

How can Nigerian architecture be 150 years old?

paragonpro:
Nigerian Architecture on the other hand is barely 150yrs old, the first so called Modern Nigerian Architecture was brought by repatriated Brazillian slaves and they were not even professionals.

And this is where you 'architects' go wrong.

Somebody recently lost their job. . . . their mind was already lost.

Are you not smart enough to get it, everything written here is from natives of the place being mentioned. What's difficult in understanding that?

This is one of the worst.
