When you tell them to ease up on the castigation, they call you a blind patriot. Can anyone tell us about any US citizen in Naija who derives pleasure (including but not limited to orgasm)in bashing the USA at every given opportunity? Please don't give me that "US is perfect" nonsense. . . any one?

I didn't think so.

It is is unfortunate that some of our views (especially Nigerians in the diaspora) are so vile and contorted that when delivered to anyone who's never seen nor heard anything about Nigeria, the person will pray for the total annihilation of the over 140 Million citizens of Nigeria. There's nothing in this world that is bad/rotten all round, not George Bush, not Osama Bin Laden and Nigeria is not an exception!

We hear you, madame.

Bwahahaha! Chineke God of Umunwanyi! This thread gotta win an award! Nutter, eddygirl, diddy and Mochafella see as una divert plane from Sokoto to Brooklyn. . . e good like this sha.

lol @ Denex. . . that would be MILITIA. . . U sure say MILITIA be Naija sef? E be Like say 'Nigerian' as in Niger Republic.

babyosisi:
Don't start this stupidity again.

U dey mind the paranoid tribalist? Abeg, his blind insinuations sound more like "Osama Bin Laden is the Mayor of New York".

The best is to ignore the Sweet T guy and his cartel, most of his fantastically fabricated tales of his 419 'decoy' voice mail statistics that are supposedly filled with voices of 'Anambra' are so hilarious you have to hold your lungs while you laugh. I still find it hard to believe that people can stoop so low at this age. The length they can go (fabricated statistics) is very disturbing. I am all for the eradication of of 419, from the 'ROOT' but when people narrow the whole thing down to " Some 'Ibo' boys and a couple of Nigerian doctors scamming the health care, " you seriously wonder if we are really serious about fighting the scammers.

Reminds me of the little time I was in new Jersey. I'd go shopping with my oyinbo fellas and get singled out and searched while the oyinbo fellas are left untouched. The hilarious part (Yes i found it extremely hilarious) was two of the oyinbo fellas were hard core shop lifters but they were NEVER searched, rather, they focused on me, this way their shoplifting problems were never solved and I couldn't care less. . . This is exactly what this Sweet T fella is doing. I believe he is also the one who said the South African government are studying Igbo language and Igbo culture so that they can easily fish out the Igbo from the Nigerian tribe. . . reason being that ONLY the Igbo are the criminal s of South Africa.

@Pain, dude read my post carefully. I did not in anyway elevate Oprah, I actually don't give a damn about Oprah, never cared about her shows and probably never will. I assumed she'd know better than to make such an appalling statement. Surely she's not that dumb. That was my opinion,dude. wasn't celebrating nobody.

I don't understand how a girl could hang onto a man that treats her like garbage. Unfortunately some girls (mentally deranged? ) get a kick outta getting bashed by their men. I see this over and over and I shudder. In my own case I once dated a girl who accused me of 'weakness'. Her reason? I wasn't 'man enough'. Okay so I asked and I received an answer. She said the relationship was too perfect that it has become very abnormal all because I let her off the hook easily and never give her the 'shakes' (Slaps kicks punch). The last part chilled me to the bone marrows especially when it dawned on me that she actually meant it. It was all strange to me considering that I grew up in an environment where women were treated like queens while the men never lost the respect of their wives. I thought I was doing the right thing by emulating something I thought was noble.

One day, I put my acting skill in motion and made a good show pretending to be angry (No I didn't lay a finger on her. . . that ain't happening,even if it's the only way to heaven) just screaming out my lungs and eyeballs and actually muttered a vile language like "Shut the 4k up" Once again the shock rippled through my bone marrow when at the end of my fake tantrum she congratulated me for 'taking back the throne'. TUFIAKWA!!!! The thing no gel for me at all, because I tell am say if na to slap and argue unnecessarily with woman go make me a man, I'd rather start my thong collection and apply for a Victoria's Secret Thong and Wonder Bra modeling contract. . .

I find this disturbing because I have seen it over and over again. baffles me, really. Most of these girls are not imbeciles, they are pretty much smart intelligent girls and yet they cling tenaciously to men that don't deserve them. It can't be the sex. . . there's gotta be something we don't see.

@9ija4eva. . .na so e be o. People (especially those who are not even living in Naija) think they are the custodian of the Nigerian way of life and can slap their buttocks on their chairs while narrating (with authority) the situation 'on the ground'. You can bash Naija all you want. . .wasn't that the case with Taiwan many years ago? Guess who's laughing now. I only hope the lutocrats and the violent ignoramus religious zealots we have in Naija will allow us get the the height that we deserve so that Oprah (not because her alleged statement o. . . methinks she doesn'tl ike Naija) and her people will eat eat our shorts,

[quote author=Sweet T=topic=68514.msg1330893#msg1330893 date=1185503131]There were some ibo boys and a couple of Nigerian doctors were involved in medicare fraud.[/quote]Well well well. . . aren't you the same guy that allegedly provided a 'decoy' voicemail to trap 419 ers and allegedly 'discovered' 100% of the scammers who left their voicemail had the 'Anambra' accent? Pardon me if you're not the guy but your post is exactly the type of putrid derogatory concepts spewing from that guy's mind/fingers.

Wonders shall never end! And we are all 'reasonable' 'intelligent' human beings!

Before you kill a dog,you give it a bad name. . .


Back to topic:

I assume Oprah lacks the level of stupidity to even associate herself with an ignorant comment like that. I am no fan of Oprah (And will never be) but I don't see her stooping to the level of the ultimate slowpoke.

@Tanasha, nobody here is telling you Nigeria is the spotless nation in the world. It is unfortunate that bad news travels faster than good news and sometimes our people can be obnoxious which mean 1 Nigerian scammer equals 100 American work-from-home-get-rich-quick scammer. Yes, Nigeria is as good as any nation.

denex:
@grafikdon

It is not even attempt to commit terrorism.

ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A TERRORIST THREAT.

My mistake. . .meant to type that. Yup,this is ridiculous.

denex:
ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A TERRORIST THREAT!

There's a new Bush slogan for everyday on the calendar.


I'm sure there's a crime like ATTEMPT TO HAVE SEX IN ORDER TO POSSIBLY CONCEIVE A BABY WHO COULD PROBABLY GROW UP TO PERHAPS BECOME A TERRORIST.

Bwahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!! This is fraggin' hilarious.

denex:
@Chiori

there is nothing wrong with his action. What is wrong is the people trying to blacken Nigeria by reading all sorts of meanings to what he did.

What crime did he commit. ATTEMPT TO MAKE A TERRORIST THREAT.

What evidence is there? RAP LYRICS!

As long as they've chosen to blacken Nigeria, they will find a Nigerian scapegoat. I bet you if you check the two passports he has, you'll find he's a dual (Nigerian/American) citizen.

And the 'Nigeria' side will be used all over until the whole world sees that. This case is not going to fly. Like you said his anxiety could be attributed to the gun deal gone bad. He was probably trying to salvage his reputation on whatever website he sold the gun. Unfortunately, they have found a scapegoat so the voice of reason shall be cast into the Atlantic ocean. There's nothing I can't see in this world. . . "Attempt To Commit Terrorism". . .

@Ogidiboy, that was totally uncalled for. Like Denex said, it's the patriot act at work, maximum paranoia.

Some people are so gay fixated that they see gay in everything. Men holding hands in Naija is not something you see every minute but yes occasionally you see some old friends hug and clasp their hands briefly as a way of expressing their pleasure for that rare opportunity to catch up with old time buddies. It is also not a big deal for a guy to take out the boys on a shopping-beer-drinking-suya chomping spree. . . homophobia can easily cloud one's sense of judgement. I weak o

Lion King is still Leading the pack. . . Yippeeee!

@ babyosisi, don't worry, polygamists will be extinct by the year 97,000.

Like someone said, reverse the scenario, that is Agbada being the oyibo attire and Monki Coat being the African traditional, we are going to be having this EXACT argument, agbada will become the ''Multinational'' uniform! Na real wa for for African pipulu o.

Na real wa for WAEC o. If you talk trash about other ethnic groups, na fire. I f you praise your own ethnic group, na die! If you keep your trap shut, na hell! I weak o.

That's his own cup of tea. I lost interest in Kalu after that ''Apology''. . . if he is a thief (They all are) let him pay for it. I find it hard to believe that only a handful of governors are in EFCC net. I really find it hard to believe because I am not sure we can boast of 6 'clean' governors in the OBJ era. I hope this is not selective justice. Let everyone of those executive 419ers pay for their crime!

This goes to prove the proverb ''Ngwere ni'le mmakpu mmakpu, ejighi ya mara nke afo n'asa''. I guess people are flaring up because of Chichi's past ethnic tirades and will continue to do that even when she posts anything that isn't degrading other ethnic groups. Honestly, if we are not looking beyond this thread, all the name calling is totally uncalled for. Everything she typed there is applicable to every ethnic group in this country, she didn't type ''Igbo girls rule! The rest drool!''. Think about it.

It's weird and hilarious at the same time when people repeatedly narrow down the Civil war to Oil and Elf/Total and this include both the remote and immediate causes of the war. . . these same set of people keep reminding us how their forefathers went to their backyard, planted maize and okra and lo and behold! They blossomed into oil so therefore anything you do, you're doing it because of oil. . . the weirdest part, these people by proximity are pretty much closer to the Igbos and have a lot more in common than any other ethnic group in this country! Wonders shall never end.

Back to topic. What can I say, people have a penchant for rewriting history to suit their way of thinking, it's nothing new and I easily dismiss such cheap attempts with a simple shrug,no matter how ridiculous they might be. I guess we might as well blame Ojukwu for dropping bombs in hospitals and refugee camps or rounding up unarmed civilians in churches and market squares and gunning them down like animals. . . I guess he takes the blame for that.

Bottom line, Igbo s have moved on since Imo river, take it or leave it, but the big question is can other Nigerians honestly put down the Post civil war Igbo paranoia? It's like a hideous monster that never fades away no matter how hard you try to turn away. Our best bet right now is not to point fingers or make up ridiculous claims (Oil and Total/Elf) but rather we should figure a way to make this union of tribes work, going our separate ways isn't going to cut it and war is definitely not going to cut it either, we are crawling on our knees at the time of peace. . . you just can't throw war in the mix. Go and ask people who were directly involved in the Civil war and they will candidly tell you war ain't it. I am privileged to know people from both sides who were there from the beginning (Coup-genocide) to the end. These people will give you the true low down on the war,not some ridiculous oil and Total/Elf theory. It will all begin when people stop throwing tantrums and false claims and simple acknowledge the easily verifiable fact that Igbos have moved on, since 1970!

We need each other, whether you like it or not, won't take anything away from this fact. No man is an island.

For you animeheads. . . you can watch a few clips from Satoshi Kon's masterpiece, "Paprika" on Animag TV. There are other goodies for your viewing pleasur including the new Dreamworks ''Bee Movie'' trailer. . . guys I think Dreamworks is about to drop the greatest animated film after Lion King

moondust:
I beg to differ because to me the strongest point of that movie is the fight orchestration. The fight scenes were obviously well thought out and planned and there was no vagueness at all as to what caused this xter's death or the other xters survival. everything just made so much sense. and the storyline was just dope!

Nah, I never mentioned anything about the story, actually I find it a wee bit cheezy. The fight scenes in my opinion is no different from what is obtainable from Ninja Resurrection, Mirage of Blaze (Not really Ninja/samurai stuff but full of action) or Samurai Champloo. It is mind blowing , but like I said, I have seen too numerous ninja/samurai hack slash flicks for NS fight sequence to trip me. On the other hand, I was actually intrigued by the character development, again I have seen them all and they are all unique and mind blowing but this particular one I have watched over 50 times and never got tired of it.

I love the Archie comics. . . haven't read em in a long time though. I met the current Archie artist, Fernando Ruiz (Pencils) back in 2001. Dunno if he is still the current artist at the moment.

I like the muzzle flash effects, very professional. Looks like something you could do in Vision Lab Studio. Even though I understand the producer was trying to display his visual effects skills with a touch of humour, I am disturbed by the ending credit, I find it very offensive and at the same time an insult to oyibo.

Happy wedlock!

And you are very sure of this because. . .?

Do not forget that bearing false witness against your neighbour violates one of the ten commandments. . .

I pray he gets out of it unscathed. . . Ojukwu is my hero whether saint or sinner, dead or alive. . . in heaven or in hell. . . if it is an organ transplant that he needs. . . he can have mine if they match!

I assume your classification of A.R.M.O.R.C as a 'head hunting' occult organization is based on what 'you heard' and what you 'were told' by people who have no clue what A.M.O.R.C is all about. This is not a lecture on Rosicrucians but you must weigh every word of advice because they have strong spiritual implication. When you bear false witness against your neighbour with a rock solid conviction, you are threading on the wrong path and should be responsible for your volition tainted with ill will. It is your fault for accepting whole heartedly fallacies conjured by the malicious and prejudiced.

I have friends who are Rosicrusians as well as some family members and they are all happily married and everyone knows they who they are, there is nothing hidden from anyone. I have mixed with Rosicrucians enough to realize they understand the complete mechanism of the one of the adamantine laws of God popularly known as Karma or the law of retributive justice and they will NEVER intentionally act in a way that will bring harm to their fellow human being, physically or otherwise. . . they are too spiritually conscious for that kind of atrocity.

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO HUMAN SACRIFICE IN AMORC. . . there never was and never will. Be careful so that you may not burden yourself with the guilt of false witness. If the Rosicrucians are happily married, what makes you think your case will be different? He will NEVER persuade you to join him. . . you can raise your child in whatever religion you belong and when the child comes of age, he/she can chose her/his own path.

I can't believe people are complaining about the president's attire, the only reason why don't wear loin clothes and walk around barefooted is I have ugly nails,

Seriously, if there's one thing our presidents and government officials are doing right, it's the promotion of our attire in international functions. We should applaud them for that because it means a lot. I find it very disturbing that some people are ashamed to be identified as Africans, Lord help us. Abeg let them (president and all) wear our sexy Dansiki and co, how many oyibo go wear babanriga to an international function held in African soil? Na wa for our people o, they have little faith in themselves

Tufiakwa,

@ Mozi, yes you're right, 'Ibos' are not Nigerian. We have the IGBO ethnic group in Nigeria and they are as Nigerian as anyone.
