afam4eva:
if they bring Pasuma to perform at Ojukwu's burial, that's the day i'll cease to be an Igbo man.

What makes you think such thing will happen. Anyways, lets see how it goes. But from information am gathering so far, MASSOB and other Biafran agitating groups are doing just fine. Nigeria Army my foot

Ndu_Chuks is getting more annoying by every passing day. In your wildest dreams shall Ikemba be buried outside Alaigbo.

@OP----Like someone earlier said, this plans is surely IBB's, lets see how it goes.

Chelsea just need to win this match, to boost the spirit for Napoli game

Sanusi is a disaster and should not be put on the same sentence with Soludo. Soludo transformed the banking sector, too bad this randy-mallam-Sanusi just threw everything to the curbs.

You actually believe the call for SNC is a justification of failed Biafra? This is a peaceful process of carrying everybody along. Afteral Igbo man(Zik) was the sole architect of the mess called Nigeria.

You came with the usual regurgitated lies about 1967 and i pointed to you that Zik(Igbos man) was the sole architect that convince both north and west to accept the false marriage called Nigeria.

If Biafra was truely an ideology and not a self centered idea of a power-drunk-spoilt-**** to foist himself on you, then why is Biafra lieing in the casket waiting to be buried? Biafra was just a tool the pschopath called Ojukwu wanted to use to actualized his dreams. In the last 40 years, how many UN resolutions the Biafrans attempted to get? Nada! Zilch!![/quote]You have failed to realize that Great Ojukwu did not wake up one morning and declare war, he had to protect his people from the pogrom. Like i earlier said, you are feeding into what you are told. Two bitter parties went to aburi and reached an agreement and the other party reneged, so who is at fault here? If gowon had respected the aburi accord, would Ojukwu had been talking about secession? NO. Would the war had been avoided? YES. Your mind has been programmed to view Ojukwu as the bad man, but good thing is that he is the most loved Igbo man by Ndigbo

jp philips:
only if you knew ojukwu's plan for biafra, you will shoot him the head

And what did your parents tell you was his plans? Seems one of them were his aide to have known his plans.

^^^Get your facts right before you start saying what you dont know. Ojukwu's comment had always been "On Aburi accord I stand". Ojukwu never planned for war nor declared war. Why did the gowon led govt renege on the Aburi accord? Igbos were being masacred everywhere while gowon turned his face, so tell me, what did you expect Ojukwu to do? If Ojukwu really wanted to seccede or planed to wage war, do you think he would have bothered going to aburi? Honestly, so many of you guys are still feeding into the lies your hausa masters told you and still telling you. Thats how they painted Ojukwu to you guys and thats how you see him, no wahala. But why are you people calling for the same SNC today? Such call has already vindicated Ojukwu. Shallom

Fuuuckk Murtala Mohammed. Good riddance to bad rubish. Heartless beast!!!

Exactly on October 7, 1967, the federal troops under the command of Lt Col Murtala Ramat Mohammed committed the greatest genocide in Af, rica’s history. In a broadcast at Benin to signal what is to happen at Asaba on September 21, 1967, Lt Col Mohammed thundered, “I have already dispatched my forces to deal with the rebels around Agbor and Asaba”. Little wonder why Igbo women were violated, children maimed, pregnant women violated and their pregnancies emboweled from Benin, Agbor, Ibusa, Ogwashi-Uku with the grand finale been the butchering of over 2000 defenseless men and male children who had rolled out their drums to rejoice with the federal troops for recapturing Asaba from Biafran forces at St Patrick’s College area of Asaba by Lt Col Mohammed’s troop for alleged “Biafra sympathy”. All these happened in total disregard to the Geneva Convention and federal directive issued by the then Nigeria’s HOS, Major-General Yakubu Gowon.

In the words of 58 years old eye witness, Ifeanyi Uraih, who was a resident of Asaba then with his nine siblings and parents, “I cannot tell this story without tears in my eyes, but I have no bitterness in my heart… They ordered everyone to come out to the town square… They were honest with us. They told us they were going to kill us. They took us to the mounted machine guns. Then it dawned on us that it was true. I was standing with my older brother at the edge of the crowd. He was holding my hand. He had always taken care of me. We shared the same bed. He was the first to be dragged away by the soldiers. He let go of my hand and pushed me into the crowd. He was shot in the back. I could see the blood gushing from his back. He was the first victim of the massacre. Then all hell let loose. I lost count of time. To this day, I live with the smell of the blood of my brethren that night. Even the heavens wept for the victims of this holocaust. Finally the bullets stopped.” Luckily Uraih made it alive because the bodies of the people who were killed fell and buffered and him.

It is indeed 44 years today but the wound are still fresh. According to Chinelo Egwuatu, another survivor of the genocide, “We can forgive but we should never, ever forget… There is no way you can bring the people back, but you can at least acknowledge that it happened.” Special thanks to the University of Florida Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies and its team of researchers ably led by Erin H. Kimmerle, Professors Elizabeth Si Bird and Fraser Ottanelli who have elected to “break the silence, honour the dead, develop a historic record of the event and secure funding to build the permanent memorial”.

On the part of the Federal Government, it is time we put this ugly part of our history permanently behind us by giving the dead deserving state burial and proper apologies rendered to the surviving families of these great Nigerians, whose blood were wasted by bloodlust and hate-mongering soldiers. Anything less is begging the question and it behoves us all as Nigerians to seek justice for the dead

[quote author=Sam_Ikenna link=topic=868992.msg10190412#msg10190412 date=1329171718]Are you saying I do have a right to display my love or hate for this country? If I do then I dont see why Biafran flag should be outlawed. Like you said Biafra is part of our history and we embrace it thats why our flag should not be an issue for Nigeria. My people say that you cant beat a child and hold his tears, Nigeria did the beating and its our right to produce the tears as we deem fit. June 12 and Awo presidency do not even come a million miles close to what befell our people. Anyway, I do not want to derail the thread so let bury the subject.

Thanx anyway for your response.[/quote]Anything after this comment is considered null and void. Sam, you have just hit these guys beneath the belt

^^^That Amala Prof must be getting it hot wherever his trechearous soul is now

Any news yet? Has it happened? We are waiting to hear the good news.

Good night Ikemba. The love you showed to us, only Moses ever showed such love to his people. Rest in Peace!!!

^^^You are right and am sure you are enjoying your "One Nigeria". Odeee

T Y Danjuma was the man who saved the situation. I knw him as a brave soldier.

IBB was very smart and I learnt Dimka on his trial said he had implicated everyone involved but just one man, who he would not mention his name, speculation has it that it was IBB.

OBJ juju has been effective since time immemorial oh . Baba run go civilian house while his mates where trying to resist the coup.

Anyways, nice one and I hope it doesnt repeat itself again.

[quote author=Sam_Ikenna link=topic=868992.msg10183820#msg10183820 date=1329093848]I've read the CBN extra roles on the site you sent. However, what Sanusi did was unprecedented in the history of this Nation. I would want you to pls find me any CBN gov that has come close to what Sanusi just did. Mind you, I'm not interested in who receives the money, it could be Igbos, Yorubas, or Ijaws, you never know so thats not my main problem. My problem with what Sanusi did is that he has set an unhealthy precedent for successive govs. He just shown that CBN gov is another money maker. Guess what? the next gov that goes in there better match Sanusi's offer else his people will disown him. In fact, any section of the nation that goes thru difficult time might as well shun their govs/reps/senators and look up to CBN because thats where the real thing is.

I assume he knows hes not going to be selected for second tenure so hes trying to do all he can for his people now. I've never criticized SLS since he was chosen eventhough I've seen him as too pushy and somewhat arrogant. He knows Nigeria is on a thin ice in terms of ethnic, religious, and regional relations yet he carries on like this country was some sort of kingdom or Emirate. With all his wisdom and intelligence he lacks the decorum and simple common sense needed for his office. He always jump on any chance to lecture us on politics, ethnic and regional issues, things you'll expect someone in his position to refrain from. How many times have you read Bernanke's Bosom for tat online posts? In fact let me not use The US, lets come home and check past CBN govs and see how they related with fellow Nigerians. When Soludo was there did you see him second guess OBJ or go on attack mode?

Sanusi does not know how to do his job in the quietness of his office. He enjoys going into verbal or written trench war with people, he enjoys poking the boundaries of religious and ethnic relations, and he has a big mouth that is ever ready to say something about other people. Someone in his capacity should be adept in masking his feelings, allegiance and/or alliance. Even when he knows what to do to spook other folks he goes right ahead to do it without minding the kind of wrong message it sends to other sections of this country. I guess hes happy now because anywhere we here a loud slam from now on he better be ready with a cheque.[/quote]

pcicero:
Now, I know there are many mumus in the house. I will start with the buffon who asserted that Sanusi's donation was on the strenght of Kano belonging to the opposition party.
Rabiu kwankwaso was elected in 1999 under PDP as the governor of Kano State. He lost his re-election bid in 2003 to Shekarau of ANPP who had two terms till 2011.
Kwankwaso as a PDP member was a former Minister of Defence during Obasanjo's regime (after he lost his re-election bid).
He was elected in April 2011 as the governor of Kano State.

@sheyguy,
I'll tell you this, I grew up under a muslim. My grandmother (whom I adore) is a muslim. I have many muslims in my family and as friends. Though a christian, but I have never for once felt uncomfortable with their religious belief.
Sanusi is a bigot, I have seen through that man. His hatred for other religions is as profound as his hatred for other tribes. Hate him or love him, Fani Kayode said this much.

Some posers for you:

What was Sanusi's comment on the Christmas Day bombings?

Has Sanusi ever donated any sum to other bomb victims (Jos, Madalla, Maiduguri, Yobe etc.)?

Have more people not suffered in these other places than Kano (In terms of total numbers of casualties) ?.

Has Sanusi ever condemned Boko Haram in any capacity (either as a Kano Prince or as CBN governor)?.

Did Sanusi not say that Boko Haram is as a result of inequal distribution of wealth (Does that mean every other aggrieved people should resort to bombings)?

Please, stop defending this guy!

^^^Ok let me observe you for sometime, if your "hateration" continues, then I will know you are still with her. I can understand what you are passing through mehn

^^^You keep going in circle and trust me you wont make any headway, I have told you severally to leave "what Igbos should have done" out of this, because it will affect your judgement process. It is really ridiculous trying to defend SLS on this very act. What is his rationale in the funds disbursement to the Victims in Kano. Now, we are not talking about the Igbos here(because its getting clearer there is nothing like One Nigeria), what about those orphans, widows, widowers that were affected in Adamawa, Maiduguri, Madalla, Niger etc are they any less Nigerians than the ones in Kano? This is pure NEPOTISM and it should be condmened totally. Until he extends same gesture to all affected we will continue to criticise him. Thank you

seanet02:
Contract cancelled. Stay on topic and stop using paracetamol for another man's migrane.

Am only concerned and worried about you, you know she could make you father a child thats not biologically yours. Again, could that be the cause of your bitterness and hate in your life (I mean this in a good way)

sheyguy:
Is boko haram attack of kano the first ever? No. When Gej gave 5 million each to the family of april 2011 victims, he did not av to the same for Nov 28, 2008 victims or october 1 victims' family or even any other victim of terrorism. Where was ohaneze then?

@bolded part, Ohaneze clearly made an it igbo affair in their statement so i dont know what u r talking about.

Your above analogy is very wrong. For Pete's sake thats the President. Now, this is CBN doing that and not only that, SLS did that to his own very state. Ohanaeze did not make it an Igbo affair but cleary pointed it out that SLS puts Kano first before Nigeria. My question is this, since the killings started, why has CBN never showed such kind gesture to any state before now and why limiting it to only Kano. There are certain things you dont do in a religious and tribally diversified country like Nigeria. This man has been called a bigot before in the past and this singular action has justified that.

seanet02:
Fake stories by the usual faking tribe. Bloody ibos

How are you dealing with that your cheating galfriend now?

texazzpete:
Kano State has the highest single day casualty figure of all the Boko Haram onslaughts. For all the persistent killings in places like Maiduguri and Borno, the Kano state carnage struck the loudest chord in the hearts and minds of Nigerians.

This is something even a child should know. Are you just being mischievous?

I expect any sensible Igbo man to ask the likes of Ohanaeze what they have done to back up their calls for Igbos to 'return home'. How many farmlands has Ohanaeze put aside for them? How much money has Ohanaeze raised to help resettle the people they want to relocate?
Why are you people keen on seeing your own folk become penniless refugees in the East?

What Ohanaeze has done for the Igbo victims should be a topic for another day. Meanwhile, why should Ohanaeze bother when Okonjo Iweala is there, maybe she should also donate 1billion Naira to the displaced Ndigbo. If going by what you said, you mean Kano killings has recorded more than the killings in the other part of the country? When did CBN start doling money out as a charity organization? Why only Kano, am not sure we would be having this discussion if CBN had given other affected states some money even smaller amounts. If you see nothing wrong in that, then I would stop scampering my head why Northerners have always had Nigeria in thier pockets.

^^^I wouldnt be surprised, GEJ earlier warned he had Boko Haram members in his govt. We even have Boko haram members on Nairaland too

^^^I'd rather have NDLEA do that

^^^As long as you keep seeing it as "what Igbos want" then you will never see the truth in what we are saying. So now tell me, is Kano the only state that has been ravaged by Boko Haram? What do you have to say about Jos? What about maiduguri? What about the young corpers that lost their lives during the post-election period? So, what did SLS do? Why are they extending this gesture to Kano alone which happens to be his own state. This man has so many times been labeled a bigot and this very action is indicative of one thing, that he is truly a bigot. But it seems that the only problem you have is because its "Ohanaeze" that is questioning and called him out. Yes, thats your problem

^^^So what did he go to do? To shiiit some drugs?
