The link provided and the story doesn't correlate. This is the kind of deception and dishonesty we are talking about.

The whole project is about $13 billion.

I don't believe Kanu can make such statement. Order your people to attack a visiting head of state in a foreign country? A head of state is a different ball game from a senator. A head of state has the same protection as the country's president or head of state.

I knew Kanu was eccentric, but I doubt he is raving mad

He is indeed raving mad. Attack a visiting head of state? I bet most of them will be shot.

PhilipGallagher:
That jenna bourgeois dey somehow. I remember when he made some very demeaning remarks about employing Nigerians.

He should carry his company and go. Which dirty global firm. Firm wey be like one man business mtschew

Regardless, it's a shame any company will leave because their employees are too dubious.

Nnaabros:
For the avoidance of doubt. I don't support crime or excuse it. But even crime requires some level of skill and creativity to execute. While we condemn the crime, think of ways to harness the creativity to a positive use. That's my stand. Peace

This is what you should have said initially. I have no doubt a lot of thy cyber criminals are intelligent.

While young Asians with the same skills are making millions legitimately, their African counterparts are chasing short term gains and ending up in jail. That is not smart at all.

loopman:
Who is asking for all these explanations?

Lol

Nnaabros:
Already answered

You did actually, by saying the accolades are not limited to ibos alone.
Why ibos are on top of most crime statistics still remains a mystery though.

Nnaabros:
My God! Did I make any comparison or exclusivity in that statement?

The Igbo are also at the top of many other statistics like it or not.

Except terrorism and banditry.

Like what exactly? Don't even bother, I have read enough of Aba made statistics on this website to last a lifetime.

Nnaabros:
Maybe. But don't forget all the accolades our people are bringing from their different fields of endeavour, in education, technology, business, sports etc. It's all due to this 'understanding'. They're ready to go the extra mile to succeed

Absolute nonsense, what accolades are you talking about that doesn't include many other Nigerians. Why are Ibos alone always on the top of all crime statistics?
It must be because of this "understanding" that makes your society more receptive to criminals.

Nnaabros:
Your understanding is very poor.

Life is a risk. Go figure.

Maybe, but you sound like a criminal in the making. I have no doubt you will do something illegal to make money if the opportunity presents itself. I am beginning to think this is the "understanding" of a lot of your people.

Life is a risk indeed.......talking like someone who is about to engage in a legitimate business and not internet scams.

Nnaabros:
I never excused anything. Thats where your problem lies.

I simply stated a fact. It is codemnable and bad. But almost every rich and wealthy individuals and countries have skeletons in their cupboard. They stepped on and exploited others to attain their wealth.

And most wealthy people are dogged risk takers. Good or bad risk. Take it or leave and remain in your hypocritical comfort zone

You are still making more excuses. "Every rich and wealthy individuals and countries" bla bla bla.

This is absolutely no justification for engaging yourself in crimes.

Someone can invade your house tomorrow tie you up and steal all your belongings and cite the same reasons.
Use your brain.

Shall we then call him a betrayer?

Nnaabros:
I'm not burying my head bro. I was objective. Not hypocritical like you.

There are different ways to look at issues. But your reasoning is one-sided

No, that is not objectivity. If at all anyone is going to cite slavery as an excuse for committing crimes let it be the black Americans who were directly affected. Even that is a very lame excuse.

Nnaabros:
Lame reasoning too

Keep burying your head in the sand and keep blaming others for your own actions.
Your comments says a lot about your mental capacity.

Nnaabros:
Keep your hypocrisy to yourself. Foreigners have been committing crimes in your country for centuries.

More lame excuses.

Nnaabros:
And what has those countries got to do with my analogy. Your defence is even 'lamer'

Because Ibos are committing crimes in those places as well. Are you not aware of this?

Nnaabros:
Condemn it as much as you want... good or bad.

Nobody is justifying anything.

The same America crying foul was built on the backs of African slaves.

Still more lame excuses. Did Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, China etc also enslave black people?

Nnaabros:
Because only an igbo has the brains to execute such complicated heist, the doggedness to venture into dangerous fields other men fear to explore.

Condemn it as much as you want. They are a people who are ready to do whatever it takes to survive. Ready conquer every field of human endeavour, good or bad.

What a lame attempt at justifying a disgraceful behavior!

OGOCHUKWU OHIRI

aka: Ologbo.

Why Ologbo? Cats are known to be stealthy thieves though.

successmatters:
Does the killing, raping and kidnapping by fulani herdsmen make sense to you?

No my sister. Have you read the sad story of a pregnant woman in Enugu who got killed? The thing tire me.

MelesZenawi:
You still hitting more bullets on your leg. The other says it stands for good as well JW also stands for something.


Anyway I won't engage you further since you guys love Ekweremmadu more than us.

But I wasn't brought up with a repressive culture like you, I trained on a standing culture and not intimidating or repressive one that cages the people.

No my friend, you are the one who is completely confused.

successmatters:
That's the most probable reason.

Basically, the shameful event doesn't make any sense to you too. The only reason I could come up with was the attire as well, and even that doesn't make any sense.

successmatters:
Crimes of Ekweremadu

1. Wearing a green ishiagu with Nigeria coat of arms
2. Attending iri ji in Germany instead of their home in Enugu

Ipob haven't said anything about your claims. Should we take this as the official ipob reasons for beating up Ekweremadu?

successmatters:
No Igbo governor is fighting Ipob, only federal police and army.

You have not been reading the news.

MelesZenawi:
Is also akin you smart by half...

So Jehovah witness that doesn't vote for any ..the leaders won't work for them also.


You really shot yourself on the leg.


Not smart all....I can attribute that to repressive culture.

This is politics, this is not religion. Jehovah witnesses doesn't ask elected officials to push their interests in the parliament or anywhere else.
If you want a change you must get involved and push your interests, this is how it is done.
You cannot sit back and try and reap where you did not sow by using threats and violence.

successmatters:
All igbos are ipobs all ipobs are igbos.

Why beat up Ekweremadu then? Why are Ibo governors up in arms against ipob?

MelesZenawi:
The last I read, they have consistently made it clear they aren't part of any political party but whosoever that is elected should work for the good of the people and which I hold.





I will be a fool to defend Ekweremmadu.....Let them work for the people.

You solved the riddle yourself. The elected officials are working for the interests of those who elected them. Why does ipob think there's a correlation between their own interests and those of the people who voted?

MelesZenawi:
Imagine this


An elected officials owe every duty and allegiance to electorates as they must leave up to expectations.

All around the globe even Western world do much more to their leaders.

Ekweremmadu was elected by people and the people knows what they want, If he can do such then let him resign and go home.

Am not a sadist and neither do I intend to be one, but if there exist other such of Ekweremmadu ( of course they are many) then I need more beating on them by whosoever possible.


He has been in Senate since 2003 and nothing prominent to show for it, so if others prefer keen Clause as a way as of worshipping their leaders who has not vested their interest at hand, same are not we igbos...

I believe Ekweremmadu knows well that he under performed because if he pursues it further he will loose political relevance.

By any means possible, we have to hold our leaders accountable even if it means flogging them in public.

Can you please enlighten us on the support or any part played by ipob in the election of any of the candidates in Igboland. Please don't tell me every ibo is a member of ipob.
Another thing, why can't ipob sponsor their own candidates if they believe they have the numbers to effect the change they are fighting for?

Trump himself is the embodiment of fake. He was a Republican, then an Independent, then a Democrat, then a "no Party" then back to a Republican when he realized there's a group of extremists within the Republican party ready to embrace his fringe ideas.

Ctorch:
Alright, let both the decent and non decent Igbos decide what they want instead of all these repetition every year.

Democratic resolution by referendum can end this lack of trust.

So the best way to achieve this referendum is to beat up elected officials whether they are sympathetic to your cause or not?
I heard Ekweremadu was instrumental to the release of Nnamdi Kanu from prison and ipob still treated him like trash.

"Ibo Made" Bridge

That is too broad, more precisely Aba made.

Evil is stalking this land while some people are focused on inanities.
