Politics / Re: Nigerians Who Signed Amalgamation Documents In 1914 by Histrings08(m): 9:19pm On Apr 21, 2019
You just enlightened me more... Thank you.
Ugwuoke347:







You are absolutely correct.
Awo was wise, shrewd and very realistic right from the beginning.
He was resented by the colonials for that.
He already pointed out the basic defect of the Nigerian state.
He worked to give the best advantage available at his time to the nation of his heart: the Yoruba nation.
Awo never really had any conviction in Nigeria,
and he made no pretences about it.
Such a practical man who had a clear vision of things even when his counterparts were waxing poetic about such utopic will-o-the-wisp as United States of Africa!
Imagine an African version of the Soviet Union being contemplated by some irresponsible idealists when African tribes and enclaves were ever at daggers-drawn!
Awo saw through it all and stuck to what was feasible and real!

It has been postulated that Awo played the ignominious role he played during the Biafran War as a form of payback to Zik and the Igbos for the role Zik's regime played in jailing him for treason. And of course, it is easy to imagine the dominant sentiment at the time. It was felt that Zik insisted on One Nigeria against proposals for deamalgamation so that he could perpetuate himself and his Igbo folks in socioeconomic dominance of a vast territory!
And when the tables were turned, he and his Igbo folks must be stopped by all means from running away from the reality of being dominated by others!
That was the mind-setting that drove Awo and Awoists in joining the Northerners to insist and persist on keeping Nigeria one at all cost and by all means!
It was all to spite Zik and his arrogant Igbos!



That Awo got carried away by such unfortunate sentiment is to be regretted by every clear thinking person.
A man of Awo's stature needed not succumb to such baseness powered in the background by lust for oil wealth!

In joining Gowon's cabinet, Awo marked his own anticlimax.
He therewith, pitted himself ideologically in sharp diametrical opposition to his famed and much storied stance on the unworkability and artificiality of the Nigerian Union!
History could have been kind to him if he stayed neutral,
or if he played on the same high moral ground taken by Wole Soyinka who was active in condemning the war as unjust, and calling on the international community to cease supply of weapons to both sides!

Sports / Re: Lionel Messi Solo-Goal Vs Getafe Voted Best Goal In Barcelona History (Photos) by Histrings08(m): 4:48pm On Mar 29, 2019
What you wrote here isn't ordinary... Kudos
Corrosiveman:
The GOAT
MESSI THE LION
All the COACHES mention your name,
including Real Madrid coaches.
Diego SIMEONE does not celebrate
Athletico’s Goals when you are in the field
of play.
U always give Torres Orgasm when he
watches you play.
U remain a Gift to soccer players and
Lovers by PELE.
U remain the fastest player when you are
with the ball by Thierry HENRY.
Who am I, to be compared to messi by Xavi
I have never seen a player like this...
Ronaldinho
I am pleased to drive MESSI around by the
President of Equatorial Guinea....Ali Bongo
MESSI is an act of God by Platini
MESSI, is really CRAZY but inform me when
he scores 1000 goals and lift 3 world
cups.....by PELE ( his fellow GOAT)
MESSI is Extra terrestrial by Buffon
MESSI is simply naturally ahead by Alex
Ferguson
CHELLINI, was asked “how do you hinder
CR7”, he said mark him closely and don’t
give him space. When asked about MESSI,
he did “SIGN of the CROSS” and walked out
of the interview
My VIEW:
U are the G.O.A.T. while CR7 is the GRASS
MESSI plays SOCCER while CR7 plays
football
Messi, a Divine Gift while CR7 a product
of hard work.
The Greatest Achievement of CR7 is for
him to be compared to you.
U don’t need training to deliver but CR7
trains all day...
When “AH” is added to MESSI, it
becomes MESSIAH.
U are simply a Myth
INTERNATIONAL VIEWS:
Fellow Soccer players call you GOAT ahead
of CR7.
PLAYERS like you Grace this earth every
50years.
BEST precision ever.
The most expensive LEFT FOOT in the
world history currently carved and
positioned in the palaces of SAUDI KING
and SULTAN of BRUNEI.
The SADDEST DAY in SOCCER History will be
the day you will RETIRE
I rest my case, humbly.

gurunlocker:


Lol.... So you mean if Messi go to a team like Bayern, Juventus, Man City or Madrid, he won't do well?

You are talking about Argentina, do you know how much this guy contribute to Argentina? I wish he just see some players that can help him with the burden, then you will see him win something. You think it's easy to take a team to 3 consecutive finals?

The Euro your hero won, he didn't even contribute anything in the tournament aside crying and forming coach. He took the glory from Eder who won the Euro for them.

How many times has he carried Portugal to final? Only qualifications by playing Solomon island, Faroe island, Hungary and other small teams. Compared to someone that face South American teams!


How will you even compare a goalscorer to someone that does not only score goals (More than your goalscorer), but assist, is the play maker, dribbles, score freeekicks and do crazy things.

Just like trying to advice folks how to maintain or clean a Carburetor of a car... How many current vehicles use that sh!t anymore? None! sad

90% of operating vehicles on the roads are automatic!

How many manual transmission vehicles are still out there (other than danfos)?
