This is sad. May her soul rest in peace.

Seems like the Western African coast has been blessed/cursed with oil.

OgidiBoy:
When did this thread become about Yoruba women

Ask the rabid Yoruba woman who insulted the Igbo race.

ezeagu:
Onlytruth let's not curse the ladies, we can roast them, but never curse.

When has she ever acted like a lady?

These Yoruba girls are the only women who act so tribalistic on Nairaland. I have yet to see an Igbo, Urhobo, Ibibio, Hausa girl act like that.

Desola:
Seriously, did you just do it again? Did you just direct me to another link?

Oh dear!

It really does su.ck to be ibo!

Just because you lot have big heads does not mean it's houses large brains if any at all.

I rest my case!

Calm down with your kissed by the sun arse.

Do not get upset that an Igbo man does not find you attractive. Not even your own men.  

Desola:
I'm just making you realise how silly you are! Without watermark or copyright, what's to say they are not houses in the North or somewhere in Delta or Jos? How can you prove that they are from your hometown?

S,tupid morasucker!

Since you want to know, here is the link. And these homes are outside Owerri.

Desola:
Ezeuche,

prove that those ugly pictures are indeed from your village.

Stop being a hater and embrace that we Igbos take your money to build our estates.

This is business.  

Mores homes in the rural areas of Imo state.

And most of these Igbos are either based in other parts of Nigeria or abroad.

This is in Imo state. Igbo businessman based in Lagos.

Desola:
common knowledge to who exactly? The okoros? It better be.

Just ask your people in Lagos, why do Igbos travel back to their village often. It is not only for celebration. They have projects being built there. But that is a secret.

ezeagu:
Random part of Igboland, already about 4 mansions/story buildings.

http://maps.google.com/?ll=5.86291,6.855072&spn=0.006873,0.006952&t=h&z=17

That is our secret. They think our villages resemble their own.

Onlytruth:
On a serious note, I stopped sympathizing with my Igbo refugee returnees years ago. If they cannot fight for their property outside Igboland, they should not be buying them. Simple.

Soon other Igbos will start to feel the same way

Let us hope they were only renting while they were busy building their homes in their village.

[quote author=Negro_Ntns link=topic=710565.msg8705644#msg8705644 date=1310515067]Yea, it shows!  We see it in your towns for SE.

Put pictures for web make we see Okonkwo house and chukwudi mansion.[/quote]Are you even Nigerian? Or are you another akata who knows nothing about Nigeria?

It is common knowledge that Igbos build their homes in their village.

It allows their kin back in the village know that we have arrived.

[quote author=Negro_Ntns link=topic=710565.msg8705628#msg8705628 date=1310514663]Eze, tell your kinfolk escaping Borno to take their mansion and the land its siTting on with them.

That's how you prove you are richer than everyone else.

Now they go back to Aba, Onitsha, umuahia and they go sleep in huts and mud houses, abandoning brick mansions in Maiduguri.

Una no smart at all!  Una still dey backward.[/quote]When do Igbos build mansions in other people land?  That is new.

Most Igbos build their homes in their villages.

Come to my village and see how many mansions my kin have built after making money off of Yorubas and Hausa.

[quote author=alj_harem link=topic=712228.msg8705614#msg8705614 date=1310514354]but Gowon is not an hausa/fulani/kanuri

also, Goodluck was backed by igbos,ijaw and yorubas so what is the problem here

goodluck is from the south
[/quote]This should be the end of discussion. He is from the South and that is why he cannot deal with this threat, because the North will not allow someone from the South to dictate to them.

The last person from the South who could authoritatively dictate to the North was Ironsi and we know how he ended.

^^^

Gowon was backed by a Northern oligarchy. And he was from the North. . .

Goodluck Jonathan cannot solve this problem, because he is not a Northerner. The only reason why Boko Haram was defeated before, is because we had a Northern president at the time, who could use a Northern dominated army to suppress a Northern group.

Do people think that a Northern dominated military will listen to a Christian leader from a minority tribe to defeat their Northern brothers?

Didn't he take credit for bringing Anambra Corpers home even though it was Ohakim who brought ALL Igbo Corpers back to the East?

[quote author=His Excellency B.K. Njoku link=topic=710565.msg8705483#msg8705483 date=1310512148]If the government is unable to resolve the issue @ stakes, then splitting is the only option left.

Igbos have always suffered more, when it comes to crisis like this, yes they(majority) are business oriented. After all investments and blah blah blah when things like this happens(crisis, unrest, war etc) they tend to loose many thhings. Is high they learnt, to invest too in their own states,[/quote]These fools never learn. I have no pity for them. That includes members of my own clan.

Obiagu1:
Now I know it's easy to take over Nigeria. If your group is willing to die, first wipe out all the police stations, threaten government institutions, banks and schools and all we shut down overnight. The police will run, the civilians will run and what will remain is just toothless military wondering around empty streets.

It is easy for the North to take over. I think many Northerners sympathize with them. That includes Northern elements within the military.

N150,000 withdrawal limit: Court can’t stop me, says Sanusi

By Ikechukwu Nnochiri

ABUJA – The Governor of the Central Bank, Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, Tuesday,  told a Federal High Court in Abuja that it was bereft of the powers to reverse his policy directive that limited daily cash withdrawals in the country to N150, 000, for individuals and N1million for corporate entities.

The CBN governor through a preliminary objection he filed in court, Tuesday, equally challenged the propriety of a suit that was entered against him by eleven communities in the riverine areas of Delta state, contending that they lacked the locus standi to take him to court over the policy guideline he issued to all the banks and other financial institutions on April 20.

It would be recalled that the village heads of the communities went before the High Court, praying it to void the decision of the CBN boss on the premise that it was arbitrary and unconstitutional, adding that it should be declared illegal.

https://vml1.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/SANUSI1.jpg

The plaintiffs who maintained that going ahead with such plan would amount to an infringement on their fundamental rights as enshrined in the 1999 constitution as amended, equally joined the Office of the Attorney-General of the Federation as a defendant in the suit.

The communities behind the suit were Akpakpa, Ogidigben, Madagho, Ijalla, Kantu, Omadino, Ogheye, Dheghe, Ajudaibo, Obaghoro and Okrigho.

They specifically sought for an order of perpetual injunction, restraining the CBN and its governor, from implementing such policy, pending the hearing and determination of their substantive suit.

However, Sanusi in a Notice of Preliminary objection he filed through his counsel, Mr Damian Dodo, SAN, yesterday, urged the court to dismiss the suit in its entirety, arguing that the plaintiffs failed to disclose a reasonable cause of action.

According to him, “this suit was instituted in substantial disregard to the provisions of section 52(1) (2), of the CBN Act 2007, section 53(1) (2) and 57 (1) (2) of the Banks and other Financial Institutions Act (BOFIA), Cap B3 LFN, 2004.”

Fear of Islamic Militant Attacks in Nigeria Spreads to Lagos

The fear of attacks by Islamic militants in Nigeria is spreading south to the commercial capital, Lagos, where city buses are being checked for bombs. A group that says it is fighting for a separate Islamic state is thought responsible for a series of attacks across the north.

Bomb attacks and ambushes in the northern city of Maiduguri have indefinitely closed the university there and led to an exodus of civilians, some of whom are newly unemployed motorbike taxi drivers after all motorbikes were banned in Maiduguri because Islamic militants were using them to throw bombs.

The Islamic sect Boko Haram recognizes neither Nigeria's constitution nor the federal government and says it is fighting for a separate nation in the north, ruled by Islamic law.

The group bombed national police headquarters in Abuja and a church just outside the capital, which is now under a limited curfew with all bars and movie theaters closed by 10 p.m.

The fear of Boko Haram attacks is now spreading south to Lagos, following a text message purportedly sent by the group warning people not to take government buses because they are a target.

The managing director of LAGBUS, Yemi Odubela, told the News Agency of Nigeria that the firm is aware of the threat and is asking passengers to remain vigilant and cooperate with spot checks of their bags.

At the Eko roundabout bus stop on Victoria Island, this passenger says her bags were checked when she boarded the LAGBUS.

"They have been checking us before we entered at Leventis," she said. "They checked us to see if anybody is carrying any equipment inside their bags. So they checked us before we entered. Men check men. Women check women.”

STEARNS: "Did that make you feel safer then?”

BUS PASSENGER: "Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.  We are afraid.  We are afraid. Everybody is afraid to enter, you see that blue color [bus] and this red color [bus].  We are afraid. They check under all the seats before we entered. So maybe there is something they hide under the seats. There is nothing under [the seats].”

This man, getting off the #55 LAGBUS, says he does not believe the Boko Haram threat.

"They have been operating," he said. "Even when they have been bombing, have they been giving warnings?  No. They have not been giving warnings. They do it. So I want to believe that people are just trying to use that to cause confusion.”

With heavy rains in Lagos, this woman says her car will not make it through the flooding, so she has to take the bus, despite the threat.

"I have no choice," she said. "Because of the rain, I have no other transport means to get to this place.”

This passenger says Boko Haram will find it far harder to operate in the south.

"We will continue to take the bus because there is security in Lagos," said the passenger."I don't believe they will come to this place. I just call it a threat. They can't come down to the south. We will check them here. LAGBUS is even better because at LAGBUS you queue. So you can check anybody who enters that LAGBUS. So if it just an ordinary bus like this one that everybody jumps inside it is a different thing.”

President Goodluck Jonathan has offered to open talks with the group, but Boko Haram leaders have so far refused, saying they cannot meet with security forces that are trying to destroy them.

Not a good SOURCE!

Especially after the floods.

[quote author=alj_harem link=topic=711993.msg8703374#msg8703374 date=1310490243]my brother why are vexing

now concerning the topic, i think it is silly to do an entire SOE in the whole north

it should just be done in maiduguri if not borno[/quote]Kaduna, Suleja and Abuja are not Borno State.

Why hasn't a state of emergency not been called for Borno state and other areas impacted by Boko Haram.

During the height of the kidnapping campaign in Aba, some politicians believed a state of emergency should be called for the ENTIRE SE states.

Why not call it for the ENTIRE North where there are daily bombings? 

Toaskarity:
i wonder why no body in the assembly never thought of state of emergency on that state! i know when kidnapping was a talk of the day in abia, the silly DAVID MARk wants to carry out S.O.E on the whole of the east!
im suspecting somebody in the house must have a hand in that haram nonsense if not them all

Very true!

Next will be Italy or maybe Portugal.
