I really don't know what happened to this guy. Faze was one of the best in his act. His voice,rhymes and mastery of music was exceptional. I'll still rate his track "loving you everyday" as one of the best R&B musics of all time. His case goes to show that really,good music is hard to find and talent is not just enough.

Just imagine if this man were to be the president...

I WONT BE SURPRISED IF FAYOSE IS BEHIND THESE KIDNAPPINGS JUST TO DRAW SYMPATHY FROM THE IGBOS WHO ARE HELL BENT ON SUPPORTING PDP BECAUSE OF THEIR FUTILE BIAFRAN DREAM AND TO DIVERT THE ATTENTION OF THE APC LAWMAKERS FROM HIS IMMINENT IMPEACHMENT. USELESS MAN

You're just a sex.ually frus.trated f.ool seeking for attention.

Well... Over to you - madam due process.

And the 1st to purchase it!

I wish Saharareporter can go and find out how much this award cost Nigeria or the the reason a woman like this was given an award.

with your bigotry and hatred,you can go to any length to pull down somebody,even to ridicule an internationally renowned citadel of excellence.

Keep on making us proud. Your name has already been etched in gold in the sand of time. Proudly Nigerian.

LoveDecay:
We need to beat all this segregationist into line, we know they are all weak - we just need to light a fire under there toes so there followers can hear them squeal before we strike the match.

MASSOB, RadioBiafra and the people who are using them (Asari & Co.) Because we know the east, are slaves to the oil producing states and this oil yet will be there undoing.

You see,some of you guys just open your dirty mouths and talk without proper reasoning. Who told you that the southeasterners are slaves to the oil producing states? Don't they have oil in the S/E ? How many times do you hear a S/easterner harping about oil? What's your problem with a people who want to leave this country Nigeria? Don't they have the right of self determination as a people? This your hatred for the Igbos and your unhealthy parasitic fixation on oil will be your undoing. Shamel.ess dirty lazy pa.rasite.

This guy Buhari keeps running away from debates...I wonder why. One day these debates he has been avoiding will catch up with him and we'll know exactly what he has been hiding.

Op,you did not do justice to this post- no address of the said house,no pix;nothing...
Who do you expect to believe this kind of info?
Nigerians sincerely want positive change,and if APC represents that,then very good.
At best,this your info is mere house wives gossips.

In saner climes,a man who is guilty of all these should be sent away forever on exile to say the least.

The wanton killings of majority of SouthEasterners and other people by the Northerners is too fresh in our memories for us to attempt to vote in a Northerner no matter how "saintly" you try to paint him...Not to talk of supporting a Northerner who was always making inciting comments which caused some of these killings.

A little too late for these explanations.
When he had the time during his sadistic regime to clarify,he didn't; rather he gagged the press and media and banned them from criticizing his government and making inquiries about his policies.
Now after almost 30 years he has suddenly realized the importance of freedom of the press and open policy.
Too late. The stigma/stain has stuck.

Now,what's the purpose of this thread?

Klinee:
Guy i dont know the type sense u have. WE ARE NOT LIVING IN ANAMBRA, WE ARE FULL INDIGENE OF ANAMBRA JUST LIKE THE IGBOS WHO ARE FULL INDIGENE TOO. ANAMBRA IS NOT OUR HOST COMMUNITY INSTEAD WE HOST PEOPLE FROM OTHER STATE COMING IN ANAMBRA. This exactly what we are fighting for.

Brother,if you don't understand someone's statement,you should ask for clarification instead of resorting to insults. Why do you think I placed "host" in quotes in my post?
Answer these questions to yourself:
Are you an Anambarian? Or are you an Igalan or Kogite living in Anambra state?
These are pertinent questions that will begin to address your issues here.
Otherwise,it will seem you're confused about what you actually want and your indegeneship.
Another thing: I hope you know your opinion on this whole issue might not represent that of the majority of Igalans in Anambra state. A lot of them might just be happy with the status quo and would only ask for more developments from the state. While others would want to be ceded to Kogi state.
The question again: who are you and what do you want?

@JonBee1, I don't know what you intend to achieve by trying to foment problems between the Igbos and the Igalas.
Since you started commenting on this thread,you've not spared even one single polite word for the Igbos who totally don't have any problems with the Igalans who have being living with them for years.
Why do you feel so threatened?
What do you have at stake in this whole issue?
Are you even an Igbo or Igalan?
If the Igala people living in Anambra state want their language to be recognized within the state,then it is up to them to champion their cause in a right way; not by having problems with their "host" community.
For the records,as some of the posters here have already said,the Igbo people don't discriminate. They practice "live and let live". If you feel you're up to the non-indestructible and indefatigable spirit of the Igbos,then you're very welcome to live and integrate amongst them without any single problem. The state government of Anambra state does not in any way intentionally seek to marginalize any body/ tribe living within the state.
In politics,population and influence is a major dictating factor. If you have the number,and you're organized,then you have a stake. Simple.
The oil that a lot of people fight and kill for would still be there even after many of them must have gone.

naijacutee:
I disagree with this article. I am also Igbo, and probably business minded (otherwise what am I doing here?) but I really don't think I am any of those things mentioned above. I'm neither more intelligent than anyone else here, not more calm. I lose my cool, and I haven't got great attention to detail. I do business because I just enjoy the feeling of creating something which is of value to others and that's it. I'm not trying to be unpatriotic but if we are proud of out achievements, let our pride come from things which are true. The truth is, any Nigerian can do it. I am Nigerian first, before I am Igbo.

My Sister,you completely misunderstood the OP's points.
The OP was not in any way trying to malign other tribes. Every tribe has it's uniqueness - it's a common knowledge.
The Hausas/Fulanis for example might be good at Farming,rearing livestocks; the Yorubas might be good at administration,diplomacy and international relationships; same thing goes for all other tribes that make up our country.
That is where the greatness of the country lies. We can celebrate this greatness by celebrating each tribe's uniqueness and achievements without feeling that we're being tribalistic.
What the OP said is not strange,and shouldn't cause uneasiness amongst people.

omenka: Make lightning reduce my uncompleted house to rubble if I read this thing!!!

All we are saaaaayiiiing, arrest Ihejirika nooooooow....!!! (Repeat 3X)

.
Mr man,you just spoke like a tout up there.
So Ihejirika should be arrested based on what evidence? Based on mere allegations by a man whose duty was to act as negotiator and not investigator?
How about other times Buhari and his likes were touted as BH sponsors without hard-lined evidence,are you saying they should have been arrested?
Every Nigerian with an average IQ would definitely know that this is mere fluke.
No real BH member would deliberately expose their sponsors - it shouldn't take an expert to figure this out,and no negotiator(not investigator) worth his onions would come out like that and list names of terrorist sponsors,more so,without concrete evidence.
Desist from speaking without proper thinking to avoid repercussions of unexpected magnitude.

Aliens do exist,don't be foo.led.
Imagine for a second what big waste of space it would be if we were the only living things in this whole vast world.
So many evidences abound to support this,but the elites of our own world try to cover it up to avoid panic that can cause chaos.
Moreover,so many people have sighted aliens.
Google about the images,artifacts and pyramid sighted in the moon and Mars.

They exist. Don't limit the creator with your imaginations.

I totally support Falana on this.
They should be investigated,and Nigerians should know who authorized them and on what platform/office/portfolio they operate/d- be they snipers or not.

A society like this(Nigeria),such trends of using masked men as public securities should be utterly discouraged and condemned because of tendencies to use such to abuse,intimidate or terrorize other people.

madamoringo: Let ibos integrate themselves. It is not the job of any part of Nigeria to babysit or spoon feed the ibos. Ibos can go to APC or PDP, what is integration there? Is any other part of Nigeria asking to be integrated, when it is their job to belong where they want? When will Ibos stop this feeding bottle liability complex?

.
First time you've spoken a bit like a human being.

If this (reviving our railway sector) were to be the only thing GEJ will ever do till 2019,he would still have performed and achieved far more than his predecessors given the unnecessary hostilities he's getting from different groups in the country.

But of course,the man is not resting on his oars. He's still determined and working towards positively transforming the country,despite backlog of works left by previous inept leaders,and negative wicked opposition.

We are not alone in this whole vast universe...It would be a mighty big waste of space if we were.

@OP, you represent the major problems bedeviling this country presently- tribalism, corruption etc.

Instead of you to laud the FG(more specifically,GEJ) for conducting such a hitch-free election inspite of the tension in the country and the nation's past history of election irregularities,you're here spewing trash and hitting up the polity even more.

Right now,I'm trying so hard to refrain from calling you a useless fooool and giving you a very dense e-knock.

kmariko: Dates are very important in history to place things in their proper context. Parents said this and grand parents did that does not tell us what generation and the generation that first bore the brunt of the middle Eastern indoctrination...

What dates are you talking about?
This is oral historical account;which is also an acceptable way of passing down histories and stories of a people. You don't expect me to start ascribing dates to an information that has been in my family for as far back as anyone can remember,do you?
By the way,how are you so sure that the Igbos were ''indoctrinated'' into believing that they have links with Israel? Can you provide dates and tell us exactly how this ''indoctrination'' occurred,to ''place things in their proper context''.

kmariko: @Habakus

1. Who introduced the Igbo's to the existence of the land called Egypt and Israel. Is it not the white man....By extension it is also the white the imbided in the Igbo's the supposedly "exclusive cultural similarities" between the Jews..a religious group and Igbos.

2. This artifact in existence in Anambra state..where exactly in Anambra state... How old is it..

3..And don't necessarily buy the idea that we all are from somewhere as ,evidenced from the history of the Khoisan and or the Bantus who evolved right here in good old Africa.
4. So using your analogy who did Eri or NRI meet when he/she "arrived" her. Or did they bring their spouse and kids along

Please refer to Ihuomadinihu's replies to these your questions; I think they aptly address them.
However,let me add that Growing up,my parents told me that the Igbos are one of the Tribes of Israel,and so did their parents and parents parents. Note that My fore bearers were not formally Educated,so they couldn't have possibly been ''brainwashed'' into believing that by reading any ''white man's books''.
Also,in Edda,a village in Ebonyi state,they have a kind of annual festival where they sort of commemorate their history which is linked with their sojourns as ''Jews'' and worship ''Jehova''-a festival which has been celebrated as far back as anyone in the community can remember.
All these are not mere coincidences.
The fact is that Igbos have links with the Jews;and in the absence of any other wholesome fact or evidence,this is what I think describes our history and itinerary..
Ps. I'm not in anyway implying that all Igbos came from Israel or Egypt as the case may be. some of the original people might have come from other places and then mixed up.

@Abagworo,I find your own account particularly ridiculed with inconsistencies and obvious half-truths....so many things your account does not address,which I'll like you to explain since you claim that the accounts of several notable historians are false.
(1). You said in your narrative that a particular man from Igala came to the present Igboland,where he became famous;performed various rites in Igboland. My question is: the people he met in Igboland when he came,who were they and where did they come from?
(2). How would you explain the fact that there are several similarities between the Igbo tradition and culture and that of the Jews as have been recorded even before the coming of the white men?
(3). What would you say about the presence of raw physical evidence in the present day Anambra linking the Igbos with the Jews?
(4). Do you have any other explanation as to the history of Eri,the son of the Jewish Gad- his migration trends and the rest of them?
I would like you to provide answers to the above questions for the benefit of everybody on this thread.
Meanwhile,I want to say that there's no shame whatsoever in saying that Igbos migrated from Egypt or Israel as the case may be. It doesn't in anyway signify inferioty to the Jews. Almost every ethnic group or tribe migrated from one place or the other;be it Hausa, Yoruba or Bini.

I don't understand why the Igbos allow themselves to be cajoled and mocked by other tribes into believing that knowing their through origin and tracing their accurate history is unimportant.
A people,a tribe,an ethnicity usually have a common destiny and purpose,generally speaking. Hence,the need to identify someone's true origin,if for nothing else,then for posterity. This is part of the major problems Igbos have faced with regards to their original culture;values;language,being at risk of extinction. There's need for proper accurate account and documentation as well as preservation.
All these other tribes-people mocking the Igbos have well preserved histories,no matter how ridiculous theirs sound. They're proud of them! And that cements their sense of common identity and oneness.
@Topic,obviously,there's a misconception somewhere. Nowhere did the man say that Igbos were originally Egyptians. He was clear that Igbos were one of the tribes of Israel;from Gad. Only that they found themselves in Egypt during the slavery. Cheers.

Oya,over to you Obj. This is no time for writing love letters.
