Shaz and Muki are too unseasoned to vote judging from their last performance

[size=20pt] we have signed a Player ooooooooo [/size]

That piece of trash wouldn't get into our reserve team. Trying signing players like Alex, Ivanovic and Mancienne, then we talk.

Lalaboi, It is Ibime vs MrCrackles in round 1 of the tournament. Just set aside those 2 names before you do the draw. I shall make sure christmas comes early for this turkey! 

The video is so laughable. Imagine, he has a personal assistant to help him with his schedule but he is living in one room and sharing kitchen and toilet with his fellow immigrants. The personal assistant then informed him of his planned activities for the day which amounted to game of c-lo. I hope he rolled a headcrack cos he needs the money to upgrade his status so he can move out of his one-bed shack. 

Ibori can dive off a cliff. Bloody thief.

They will tell him like they told Abiola - "The Presidency is not for sale!"

They only lend it to OBJ or some other lackey when times get tough and agitation increases.

Guys, dont be too hasty to condemn the guy now.

Is Nigeria the only country looking to IMF to help with ground-level job creation? How about all the micro-finance initiatives that the Asian countries raised with the IMF?

However, one must wash his clothes before he asks someone else to iron it for him.

If the minister is serious about tackling unemployment, how about reducing the 85% import rate we currently have?

How about encouraging greater self-dependency amongst all Nigerian regions, not parasitically waiting for oil from the Niger Delta?

There is an anti-Sauron revolution going on.

Based on this, Krayola should be fasttracked straight into the tournament proper to take the place of MrCrackles. Abi na pally pally we dey do for here?

MrCrackles:
Has he been deported from Yankee really or na Radio IBIME just dey carry rumour?

His student visa has expired after he failed his course. . . . no wonder he is shooting his video in Woolwich. . .

seanjb:
Instead of wondering whether I am a spy, I hope we can have a discussion about the real issue — whether hawkers and street traders are a blessing or curse for Lagos, and whether there is a better way to control street trading than arresting and jailing thousands of Lagos’ poorest and hardest-working people.

You may be interested to know that other cities and countries treat their street traders very differently. For example, they just passed a law in New Dehli that recognizes that hawkers and traders " provide valuable services to the urban masses while eking out a living through their own enterprise, limited resources and labour". You can read that article here: http://www.business-standard.com/india/news/street-vendors-to-be-rechristened-as-micro-entrepreneurs/65013/on

So, what do you think about Lagos' policy of banning street trading from every street in Lagos state? Is there a better way to go about it? Do you buy things from hawkers and street traders? I would be interested in hearing what people think. I hope I can also post my research report here when it is finished next month.

Unfortunately, rich people in Nigeria do not like to see the poverty all around them. They would rather hawkers were thrown away in some remote place where no one has to see them. The rich in our country have no social responsibility. They specialise in creating a parallel world for themselves, whilst the normal Nigerian has to make do with the crumbling infrastructure and parastatals they leave behind. Whether it is building new cities (Abuja), sending their children to school abroad, building electric fences, building their own private universities, hospitals etc, Nigerias political and upper-classes specialise in running away from the problems they have created due to their greed and embezzlement. This pervades every cranny of our society and everyone is complicit.

JAVALOVE! JAVALOVE! JAVALOVE!

How many times I done call your name?

We wanna see whether you have the ability to compose punchlines like Mode9

Nigerias oil production was 2.4m bpd before MEND was formed. Its effective capacity is 2.7m bpd. Today Nigeria exports 1.3m bpd.

Niger-Delta is the gift that refuses to keep on giving.

Shebi Chevron has suspended all operations completely?

By the time their stomachs start to grumble, the parasites would give thanks for the last 50 years when the suffering of the Niger-Delta people had sustained them in the jungle called Nigeria.

Abagworo:
Hahahahaha.dis thread dey laf me well well.igbos and ijaws are people living under defeat,deceit and balkanization by the nigerian state under a grand plan by british colonialists.ijaws were made to believe igbos is their problem and vice-versa.i've tried my best to expose this,yet igbos and ijaws keep messing up.i know the people who achieve orgasm when igbos and ijaws clash.

Thank you!

This is why we need to ban any antagonistic bla bla bla and the likes of Naijaking running around the forum all day everyday screaming "death to traitors" and digging up old wounds.  


Naijaking describes my ancestors as 'shameless and discredited'. I hope he knows my ancestors are Igbos. I also hope he knows that Abagworos ancestors are Ijaws.

naijaking1:
(1.)  There's no town in Igbo land where you can't count 2 or 3 families who are still made destitute by the greedy action of Ijaw people.

(2.) Families remain destitute while Ken Saro Wiwa sat on houses he never bursted a seat for one day--- in the name of abandoned property!

(3.) Yes, blame the Igbos for everything, for creating Nigeria, for scattering Ijaws between the east and west of the Niger, for your impotence, for your boys being lazy, for the excess rain in the area; blame the Igbos for everything------ because that was how Adaka Boro was able to miseducate you guys. "The Igbos were responsible for every imaginable bad omen" he must lectured. You're here too, spweing trash and falsehood from your mouth, just like your shameless and discredited ancestors.

Naijaking, your response is typical. Thats why I never engage in debate with you cos you are quick to blow your top.  Even after I showed you that Saro-Wiwa was the only Ogoni leader who supported Nigeria, you still went about hyperventialating about Ogoni betrayal. That tells me that you are not to be reasoned with. Perhaps the hatred helps you get through the day. 

My allegations stand. You can refute them if you wish, but there is no need to act surprised at the so-called 'betrayal' when there is enough precedent to show you that Ijaws were not happy with Ndigbos positions and voted roundly against the NCNC long before the war started. Whilst Naijaking spends all his energy hammering on about Ijaw betrayal and alienating his Niger-Delta brothers, others are looking for ways to bring Southern Nigeria together to fight the scourge of Northern Imperialism.



Now, look at the points you raised:


(1.) Really? What is every family in Igboland doing in Ijawland? Mass immigration always brings conflict between host communities and immigrants.

(2.) Saro-Wiwa was education commissioner, not land and works commisioner. Inform yourself before applying your usual scattergun approach.

(3.) I will not descend into tribalism with you.



The question remains:

Can you ask God for something, when you deny your brother the very same thing?

ow11:
Can you give me your own anecdote on how the sabotage by Saro Wiwa and Boro made Biafra fall to the Nigerian army?

First it wasnt sabotage. . . . but don't underestimate the role Boro played in the war. . . . in OBJ's book, he said that Boro and his boys captured Opobo, Andoni, Bonny, Opolom, Buguma, Oranga and Okrika before he was killed in Kirike. Boro was a warrior for real. OBJ said he was very swift and his boys knew how to survive off the land. As soon as Boro was killed, his regiment had to be disbanded cos the pace slowed and they started losing battles. Boro was Nigerias main man in Rivers State and he outshone all the majors and luitenants despite the fact he had no formal military training.

OW11, forget yarning with our Igbo brothers. You cannot keep banging your head against a brick wall lest you injure yourself.

As Ijaws & Ogonis, although we love the Igbos, we always have to suffer the indignity of having the memories of our leaders desecrated at every turn by our brothers. They do not care to ask what the meaning of betrayal is. Those who made strategic decisions to fight against Biafra did so for legitimate reasons. Those who chose to fight for Biafra also did so for legitimate reasons. Very often in Ijaw families, you would have a situation where a boy goes to join one army, whilst his brother goes to join the opposition.

Naijaking cannot lecture on betrayal or kharma or any such thing. God is not blind. You cannot deny your brother the very same thing you ask from Nigeria.

Whilst the other 3 main tribes of Nigeria had their own region, the Ijaw were fractiously split into Eastern and Western region and subdivided until we recognised ourselves no more. The Igbos should recognise this as they have been split into sub-tribes as well (Ikwerre, Etche etc) since the war. Now the Igbos point fingers at Rivers State & FG for taking their brothers and making them deny their Igboness. Yeah, I understand about kharma.

When the Ijaws asked the former Eastern Region for their own state so that they can be united their brothers, they were vehemently opposed by the Eastern Region. The Ijaws had to form an alliance with the Western Action Group and the Yorubas who promised to help them achieve their aims of state creation. NCNC was thoroughly defeated at every election in Ijawland. In 1957, we had made representations to the constitutional conference, and yet again we were vehemently opposed by Ndigbo. Ndigbo had gave us no power or no say in our own affairs. When Adaka-Boro had declared his Niger-Delta Republic, it was Aguiyi-Ironsi who beat him back. The Igbos did not entertain any discussions about Ijaw autonomy then. Even when Biafra made the decision to secede, the Ijaw leaders approached Biafra to find out if they will have their stake in the new Republic. Again Biafra refused and denied them their hearts desire. So why should Igbos act surprised that some Ijaw and even Ogoni leaders would buck against them during the war? Can you ask God for something, when you deny your brother the very same thing? Those who want to talk about kharma can talk about kharma and betrayal all they want, but some would say that kharma was already served in 1966 and it was the Igbo who were the recipients.

@ Afam,

I dont insult tribes. I no get time for that.

Allegations against the dead? Go and ask any Ogoni man about what they think about what happened to the chiefs involved. They would tell you that they were perceived to be against the struggle. I am only repeating what I've been told over and over. That is the Ogoni perception, not mine. Even an Ogoni man has come on the thread to tell you koro-koro. These divergent views about Saro-Wiwas complicity are mostly held by the families of the dead, and almost no one else in Ogoni land. Of course some Biafrans would hold those views as well, but we all know why. . . . .

If you notice, I contribute mostly to Rivers State topics on Nairaland. Thats because I dont like talking about things I have little knowledge on. For example, you wouldnt see me invoving myself in Israeli-Palestinian debate etc. I am not intolerant of views, but I am intolerant of sciolism, superficial knowledge and hasty deductions.

MrCrackles:
Bad timing, was away on holiday
This time around, i am up here and ready to burst it like Shenkolah!
Bars all day for all type netcees and any situation!

I think MrCrackles should be sent to the preliminary round to prove his worth first. Just cos you are an old-timer on Nairaland doesn't mean you have the requisite skills to enter straight into the tournament. Wack is wack! Allowing rubbish like MrCrackles into the tournament freely would simply degrade the value of the tournament. I mean, his raps are barely readable. I usually stop at the 2nd line. I havent even read the last verse he wrote against me cos I couldn't follow his flow. And he wonders why it might take me a week to respond. It takes me a week to read the damn thing and only 10 minutes to reply.

Magnum? Yeah thats Sauron

hehehehe. . . . . Dede1 is a clown. . .

Hell hath no fury like Biafra scorned

One may have to resort to using the 'report to moderator' button next time these guys derail Niger-Delta threads and start yarning nonsense.

hehehehehe. . . . I wonder if Adebayo organised his church members to vote. Who put him on the list anyway? Aloy, please stop displaying ignorance here. We are talking of legends, and Adebayo represents much of what is wrong with Nigerian society.

Of all the names on the list, Gani is no1. Kanu needs to go and siddon. People like Achebe, Chimamanda, Fela etc should come before him.

Forget Edwin Clark. I dont think many people trust that old man. Anyway, lemme not speak too much on him.

Ijaws only get pissed off with Igbos when you start mentioning betrayal and bla bla bla. Ojukwu transcends all that debate. He is on record as the first man to fight against tyranny in Nigeria and that counts for a lot anywhere in Niger-Delta. If you think Im lying, why not wait till Ojukwu visits Niger-Delta. You will see the heros reception he will receive.

Afaukwu:
Thanks ow11.

I was wondering why many Okrika people fancied Umuahia women in particular. I hear more than half of the people of Okrika have half-Igbo ancestry. Although I am from the general Umuahia area, I have not bothered to investigate that trend. It is something that is worth looking into

Where do you think the people of Ndoki are from? They are Okrika migrants. Last time my pops was in Ndoki land, one old man hugged him and told him that he is their ancestor. 

I would vote everyone there as a legend, except Adeboye.

Afaukwu, what makes you think Niger Deltans would not view Ojukwu as a legend? Ojukwu is a qualified legend!

DayoCoker:
There's no conflict of interest here. I'm not hiding my support for Dangote even though my group is independent and not affiliated to him. I can boldly say that the Dangote Support Group has not received a dime from Dangote to defend the unwarranted attacks on his person

I don't see why anybody should question the veracity of my claims against Intercontinental Bank. I still have those emails. After I started the full disclosure campaign, the bank struck a deal with the Renaissance Group for a dubious analysis that acknowledged its huge debt profile without agreeing that the bank is under incredible stress.

The analysts at ARM have told us that the next banking headache will come from the sort of petroleum marketing deals that Intercontinental staked a lot of money on. I wonder why nobody questioned the loan that Intercontinental collected from the AfDB just to stay afloat. Let's see if Sanusi will be as malleable as Soludo.


By the way, Intercontinental is very close to Aliko Dangote so linking the two campaigns doesn't make sense.

Is there a link between Otedollar$ and InterContinental bank?

Is there a reason why you support Dangote - and why? Is the fight to defend Dangote a conscientious fight, and if so what does he have to offer Nigeria that we do not know?

Is there a reason you must go out of your way to form a Dangote Support Group? Why not just write about it like a normal journalist/blogger. Also, why is Dangote so deserving? Why not form a Fashola support Group, a Gani support Group, a Pat Utomi Support Group - or a support group for any of the more deserving Nigerians. This makes me suspect that there is money coming your way.

As far as most observers are concerned, both men are people who have taken money from their pockets and they are not interested in supporting one or the other. Is this a misconception?

Signing up. . . .

I dont know which kain patriotism Texazzpete is involved in. Its been a long time a Southern Nigerian talked about patriotism under the current arrangement. I am not patriotic. If love for the people of Nigeria is patriotism, then I am the model patriot. If patriotism is defined by support for corrupt parastatals and unfair, barbaric and parasitic systems of Government, then I am proud to be called unpatriotic.

You obviously do not know there's a difference between Andoni and Ndoni in RV state. Please consult your maps.
