manny4life: This is barbaric...

Super1759: I think its not on a negative side. Igbos are known to be warriors right from orgin and smartest among the tribes. Hausa peeps are fearless and can lay their lives for their belief. So it has something to do with their attitude to fight

charlsecy4: The Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion) demanded a change in the age-long tradition that allows the British government to appoint the Archbishop of Canterbury, the News Agency of Nigeria reports.

The Primate of the Church, Archbishop Nicholas Okoh, on Wednesday in Abuja made the call at a media briefing to herald the 2012 Divine Commonwealth Conference scheduled to begin in the city next week.

NAN reports that the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Rowan Williams, is due to retire by the end of the year and according to the the tradition, the British Prime Minister is expected to name his successor.

The appointment of the new Church leader is based on the recommendations of the UK-based Crown Nominations Commission, a 16-member body made up of bishops, priests and laity.

Okoh, who a fierce critic of the outgoing Archbishop of Canterbury, described the selection process for the new church leader as “politicised”.

The cleric said, “The Prime minister of Britain will have to appoint (the Archbishop of Canterbury), whether he is a member of the Church or not.

“When you consider the political involvement, you can see the point we are trying to make.

“In other words, we are trying to say the Anglican Communion should be separated from the politics of Great Britain."

He acknowledged that since the Archbishop of Canterbury, doubled as the Primate of the Church of England, the British people were at liberty “to choose their own method of selecting him”.

He added, “But what we have asked for is that for the fact that most of the churches that make up the Communion were part and parcel of the British Empire before, the original British Empire has changed method, which is now the Commonwealth, the same thing, the leadership in the Church should equally change.’’

Okoh said the Church of Nigeria, following the request of the Crown Commission, had sent its recommendations and views to the 16-member body selecting the new church leader.

He said, “We have made our input; whether the input will be taken is another matter.

“But for the kind of person we will want to see; somebody who will bring unity to the Church, particularly in the areas of doctrine.

“We will like somebody who will be biblically based not somebody with wide theologies.”

Okoh said one of the recommendations of the Church of Nigeria was for the Archbishop of Canterbury to run a single term of five years.

He said, “The historical position of the Archbishop of Canterbury is alright and he should be entitled to respect and dignity of office.

“But the leader of the worldwide communion should change in the sense that we would prefer a situation whereby we have the president of the group or chairman who will run office for about five years and hand over to another person.’’

Okoh frowned upon what he described “radical redefinition of biblical teaching in the name of homosexuality” saying, “it is evil and unacceptable”.

He said, “The recent same-sex proposal is a misinterpretation of the scripture and some sections of the church are riding rough on the scripture. The radical redefinition of the scripture is unacceptable. The attacks on the scripture is also affecting the people. If you misrepresent the scripture and accept homosexuality, then your radical definition is unbiblical and unacceptable.

“Those who will attend the conference are people of like minds who do not subscribe to man-to-man marriage and woman-to-woman marriage. The redefinition of biblical teaching is abhorrent and we do not accept it.”

nku5: See your post lunatic stop crying for backup -

felifeli: Igbos are the descendants of Cain, the first murderer . They are a cursed tribe and until you go and do corporate deliverance you will continue to wander about and be hated . Let me educate you further :

According to the biblical narrative in Genesis 4:1-16, Cain treacherously murdered his brother Abel, lied about the murder to God, and as a result was cursed and marked for life. With the earth left cursed to drink Abel's blood, Cain was no longer able to farm the land.Cain was punished as a "fugitive and wanderer"and Cain suffering from body tremors (severe anger). Interpretations extend Cain's curse to his descendants, where they all died in the Great Deluge (Biafra war ?) as retribution for the loss of Abel's potential offspring.
Source: Wikipedia

In conclusion better for you people to find out the "Abel" that your forefathers murdered and go and do etutu to remove the curse from your head. A word is enough for the wise.

Ogoni militant: I know you foolish yoruba bigots will not support. But Tell you that you guys will be the biggest loosers.

Fight for your own freedom, you guys are slaves to your Hausa masters that killed Ken Saro. You are even slaves to Igbos that have occupied all your cities.

Keep asking foolish question.

advocate666: i say cowards, come chase us away.
you don't know who you are dealing with.
your aboki masters have tried with regional favoritism, pogrom, war, marginalisation, kidnapping, economic sabotage, political intimidation, all to no avail. Igbos are still in the north. Now they have started blowing themselves up while we keep developing.
very soon igbo derangement syndrom will cause you all to start blowing yourselves up too.
Biafra or no Biafra, We own Lagos for life. You lost your opportunity in 1967.

T9ksy: Hell no! We fought to put paid to ibo's hegemonic ambition over our region.

If you want to leave, please do, infact i will even contribute my own "widow's mite" just to see the back of you mothaxxxxxxx ingrates.

I dare you guys to protest in abuja or any other northern cities where you ibos claim you have a significant population, if boko haram will not turn you

obdurate "Igbos" with deathwish, into shish kebab.

advocate666: It is a well documented fact that awolowo committed suicide. Inform yourself first before making a fool of yourself.

Talking of cowardice. I have some names: OLADIPO DIYA, The crying Yoruba General!
Tajudeen Olanrewaju.

We are cowards YES
Our generals cry AGREED
We like to commit suicide like Awolowo . ABSOLUTELY

EagleNest: Hatred is serious blindness.
Time shall tell how long this 'joke' called Nigeria will last.

nku5: See what the lunatic posted yesterday. This "feli feli" is one of his monikers -

ilugunboy: Insha Allah....when you guys go in December....You shall never and ever return again.

We can do with the space.

ba7man: And thank God the capital is no longer in the West and the west has little oil so the fight will be between the North and south for the Control of the oil fields and blocks since the majority of oil block owners are Northerners. Goodluck with your cries for war, the West won't be involved this time since your battle is towards Abuja, we'll be what we're good at, spectators on the sideline watching you destroy each other. Yeah, Yeah, call it cowardice but when millions of your people are dead you'll realize its being smart.

obxddon: Like I always say in all my major reply "STOP SMOKING WET WEED BEFORE REPLYING TO THREADS HERE".
80% of the people wha have replied this thread curse the ibos with all there heart ane yet no one wants to let them go.Every one in Nigeria has freedom of association and right to live,so if the ibos say they are tired of this failed marriage called Nigeria,instead of typing rubbish here just support their course or pour water on your body and hug a live transformer instead of talking Trash here.
Yes there are kidnappings,drug trafficking,rituals,blood money and canibal life in the east..yet the stupid country cant let them be..Idiots on this sites wont let them be...if we are of no good to you people wait let us leave lagos and tell me how Ladipo,apapa and all other markets would be.
Ibos are looking for a way to better their life and their generation to come and if there is anyone that does not like that or want that....GO F**CK YOUR MOTHER!!!!

bilms: Ajimobi’s Wife in London Police Net for Laundering N500m …..Oyo gov stands surety for wife ….Wole Olanipekun, 2 other SANs engaged
Posted on October 29, 2012 by NewsAXE

By Segun Ayedaade, Lagos
Junketing wife of the Oyo State governor, Chief (Mrs) Florence Ajimobi, has finally jumped into the net of London police authorities.
Her offence: she was found in possession of Pound Sterling and United States Dollars totalling N500million about two weeks ago.

Mrs Ajimobi was arrested by the Met Police during her 52nd trip outside Nigeria in the last 17 months that her husband became the chief executive of the Pace-Setter state.
The development came barely a few months after Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State was arrested also in London on money laundering charges and was held for about 26 days in the United Kingdom.

Governor Abiola Ajimobi has equally been out of the country for about 42 times on personal and official trips that have cost the people of the state fortunes in estacode and denied them the opportunity of a responsible government during times of sorrow, like the August 26, 2011 flood disaster that ravaged the state.

The governor’s wife was held for a few days in London before she telephoned her husband who immediately flew out to the United Kingdom to save his wife and his administration from the embarrassment that the arrest could cause.
NEWSLEAK gathered that the governor had to stand surety for his wife before she was temporarily released the weekend on her arrest.

To ensure that the news does not get to public domain, Governor Ajimobi had to lie that he was travelling to Taiwan for “an emergency business trip”, and headed for London to stand surety for his wife.

Met police authorities accept the surety-ship of a sitting high profile government official in cases of money laundering without which Mrs Ajimobi would have been declared wanted and Interpol sent after her.

When Mrs Ajimobi returned to Nigeria two Sundays ago, she avoided public gathering, never honoured any invitation and cancelled all previous appointments.
A community newspaper in London published the news of Mrs Ajimobi’s arrest with her picture lavishly used by the local daily.

NEWSLEAK is making effort to get the photograph and use same on this website.
According to investigations, Mrs Ajimobi is literally the human bank in charge of funds illegally deducted from the 33 local government councils in the state as well as the N110million security monthly security vote of her husband.

Rumours that Mrs Ajimobi is the courier for public funds running into billions of Naira allegedly stolen so far by the Action Congress of Nigeria-led government in the last 17months were reinforced by the several contracts awarded to Mrs Ajimobi, including the poorly executed beautification project given to her for N1billion of taxpayers’ money.

In addition, she has appropriated the State Action Committee on AIDS (SACA), which was hitherto under the purview of the Ministry of Health to her office and through this, she is sitting upon the $15million-Dollar World Bank funds released early this year for the control of AIDS in the state.

To wriggle out of money laundering and sundry charges against Mrs Ajimobi, her husband has engaged the service of three Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SANs) led by Chief Wole Olanipekun.
Following the expiration of the week-long bail granted Mrs Ajimobi to prepare her legal team as the case will be charged t court soon, she left the country for London early on Sunday, October 28 (that is yesterday).

Governor Ajimobi, it was scoped, has been running from pillar to post for face-saving strategies against the damning incident.
He was said to have expressed determination to pay any price quoted by anyone that could be of help in preventing the scandal from becoming public knowledge as well as getting the “greedy wife” off the hook.

The governor, NEWSLEAK is told, will be travelling out of the country this week to stand by her wife.
It was also gathered that the senior lawyers are on their way out of the country for the legal fireworks in defence of Mrs Ajimobi.
