Tom Ateke is from Okirika, Okirika people hailed from Andoni people. And the Andoni are from the Igbos. The Governor of rivers state Ameachi is igbo. So you may say indirectly Tom Ateke is igbo. This may be is reason for his hate of ijaws.

becoomrich:
Here is an article which would tell you, the andoni are igbos and Okirika are from andoni and some from ijaw, so they are more of igbos. this account for Ateke hate of ijaws and his suppport for odili and ameachie.

hehehehe. . . . I be Okrika man. Although I get Igbo blood, this one is news to me regarding Okrika in general. 

Atekes mother is Ogoni. Maybe thats why he hates the Ijaws 

And how many games ban did the referee receive?

Nonsense!

FBS:
strange but Tosic had no single shot on goal. The free kicks he took were very very poor.
Giovinco on the other hand at some shots on goal and a few tricks.
Have to admit though, he needs to hit the gym and stop trying to dribble all the time.
Italy vs Serbia was kinda disappointing though.

yeah, but Tosic made the right decisions almost all the time. He doesn't waste time in choosing his options. Giovinco on the other hand almost always chose the wrong option.

Zidane ke?

Abegi Maradona is in a class of his own.

If Ronaldo had maintained fitness throughout his career, Zidane would not be the greatest player of his generation, talkless of challenging Maradona.

Dayo are you trying to counter www.factsnigeria.com with all these posts?
Just curious.

Nah, thats Ote[i]dollars[/i] site. Nairalands resident webmasters can do a better job than that rubbish.

These two bigwigs/thiefs (delete as appropriate) better stop fighting all over our media portals. Nobody send them.

In light of the fact that Dayo Coker works for Dangote, one has to question the validity of his attacks against InterContinental bank and his accusation that they sent him threatening emails. Its probably just another battlefield for Dangote and Otedolas love tryst. 

This just proves that Nigerians are in a class of their own when it comes to private entrepreneurship, and also in a class of their own when it comes to bad governance. You can go anywhere in West Africa and we dominate the financial industry. I was in Gambia recently and Nigerians run the place, whether thats banking, telecomms, etc etc. . . . but when it comes to Governance, we are the most cursed Nation of them all.

^^^Dumbale's comment is not opposition. It is the overwhelming majority opinion in Ogoniland. For Gods sake, Saro-Wiwa is a man who organised a 300,000 man march in Ogoniland (3/5th of the population). You might have to check the record books to see if anyone in Nigeria has organised a peaceful protest on that scale before. . . .

Here's some reading material. It is essential to read this before forming opinions on the murder of the late Ogoni Chiefs and where the responsibility lies. . .

hehehehe. . . . take it in good faith my brother. . . . Dumbales comment is the typical response I expect from an Ogoni indigene. . .

Dumbale, it is always good to get the Ogoni opinion on things. Thanks for the post.

mukina2:
Why is Ibime posting like Criz these days . .You don dey do follow follow nor vex na joke oh

Am I posting like Criz? . . . . its cos Im missing her. . . tell her I said that

hehehehe. . . . if only Arsenal scouts would take notice of Myles P. . . . . what original opinion does Myles P have to offer?. . . . Myles P is a second-hand journalist. . . . Melo is a good player. . . . but truth be told, Myles P had never seen him play until he read the rumours that Arsenal wanted to sign him. . . . he then piggybacked the rumours, acting as an authority on the matter, when we all know Myles P knows nothing about Felipe Melo. . .  and forming an opinion on him after watching just one game is reckless to say the least. . . if Myles P had any prior knowledge of the player, he would have recommended him since last December when Melo was on fire and Mourinho was rumoured to be interested. . . . instead the pretentious Myles P waits until British press carry rumours of his signing, watches him once and makes a recommendation based on that. . . . same story with Hitzlsberger. . . . it was only on my way home last night where I read in the Metro that Arsenal are interested in Hitzlsberger. . . . Myles P must have seen the rumour somewhere and jumped on it. . . . can Myles P be original for once and give a recommendation on a player he has actually been following?  

Tunku, are you insinuating that LITMUS is an agent of the Nigerian Government?

Afam, it is good to see that you are in a civil mood. I hope you will take my post with all civility.

Throughout this whole debate, you have been arguing with suppositions and presumptions which you have formed from Ken Saro-Wiwas role in the war. I cannot begrudge you holding a grudge against Saro, but as OW11 said, this is not about the civil war.

Now, you have been comparing the murder of the four Ogoni chiefs and Saro-Wiwas role in it to the death of my cousin who was killed in a firefight with Ateke and his boys. First of all, it is in bad taste to keep raising up the death of a loved one just to prove a point on a public forum. Second of all, you presumed that Ateke gave the word for my cousin to be killed, not knowing that my cousin was killed in a firefight at which Ateke was present. I dont think you know Atekes history, otherwise you would not even equate the Ateke case to the Saro-Wiwa case. It is sine qua non for one to have knowledge of an issue before proffering opinions, otherwise you diminish yourself in the eyes of others. If you had happened to ask, I would have told you that the pre-cursor to the firefight in Kirike was Ateke burning down my village and killing 2 people personally, one of them a young boy who he tied to a speeding boat and dragged in the water till he drowned, the other a woman. How you can compare that to Saro is anyones guess. Atekes atrocities in George-Ama and Okrika are public knowledge in Rivers State and any Rivers man reading your comments would puke on his PC. This is why I refused to indulge you, firstly because its personal, and secondly, because you dont have the background knowledge of the issue at hand.

Dis Guy:
politicians and their cyber battle

Interesting. . . . we have one resident on Nairaland called Dayo Coker. . .

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-285144.0.html

Dayo Coker, how much do they pay you to do Dangote's bidding? No wonder you were so concerned about that InterContinental bank schizzle.

Instead of highlighting Manchester, Liverpool and Chelsea names on that list, you should be highlighting your direct competitors for 4 th place - Everton, Villa, Tottenham, Fulham, West Ham, Man City etc

debosky:
He played for Villa over FOUR years ago - honestly many of the reactions here are not really logical. He's gone on and won the Bundesliga and is club captain right now - what is pitiful about the Stuttgart captain being linked with Arsenal

Anyways, I guess the press heard your lamentations - I give you Felipe Melo.

Hitzl was not rejected by Villa. They wanted him to stay but he refused to sign a new contract.

Filipe Melo is out of Arsenal's league. Everyone knows his price is £20m and everyone knows Arsenal are a cheap club.

Better off trying Fernando from Porto. Even Javi Garcia from Real Madrid may be a welcome addition.




I wonder if Dr Kit is related to Ade

Ade says that if not for money, he would be playing in Lome where the fans all love him, not in bloody Arsenal.

I shall keep dripping Ades numerous foibles slowly into the thread to increase Dr Kits blood pressure

Im gonna put my tender in to create one of these websites.

I dont know whats up with Rajkovic and that spitting incident. When I heard it, I thought the boy must be crazy. Anyways, he was banned for quite a few months but still impressed sufficiently in his 8 games for Ajax to take an interest in him. He is tall and strong, and can also play at left back, so why not bring him in to cover Ashley Cole?


Just watched the Italy Serbia game. That Tosic of Man Utd is some player. Giovinco is not ready. Everytime he got the ball he was bullied off it. I was almost counting the no of times he lost the ball. Every times he received the ball, he would try a nonsense dribble and get bullied off the ball. No wonder Ranieri kept his ass on the bench. The boy needs to eat some proteins and hit the gym.

I recorded it on Sky plus and just watched it now.

I was dissapointed. After hyping the programme, he didn't actually get to meet any kidnappers or activists.

Ledum Mitee made a good point about bunkering. He said there are three levels of bunkering, the boys who tap into the pipeline, the barges who come to bunker and the wholesalers waiting offshore to collect the bunkered oil. The industry is worth $15bn a year. I wonder, can the Navy not stop the wholesalers offshore and cut off the problem from its source. All the big men in Abuja are eating off our collective misery. Not just Niger Deltans, but the whole Nigeria. BBC has already reported on these big men wholesaling in bunkered crude. I wonder when our Govt will do something about it.

And yes, Amaechis breakfast lounge looks like some 5 star hotel schizmo. The people love him though so who cares?

Latest news from Togo camp is that Ade refused to show up for training and left the hotel. . . they're saying he might not play the WC qualifier.

During 2006 Nations Cup, Togo captain criticised Ade whilst he was on the verge of a move to Arsenal. He said Ade is a dickhead and has been making noise that he will walk straight into the Arsenal team. This was an Ade who was scoring 5 goals per season at Monaco.

Ade had beef with Stephen Keshi.

Bendtner slapped Ade (although Bendtner is a dickhead as well).

Ade says you should pay him like Henry. 

Wenger dropped Ade for the last 2 games of the season.

The empirical evidence shows that Ade is a narcissistic prick. 

Which kain long epistles una dey write. . . . is this HipHop journalism training school? . . . you guys think anyone is gonna change their opinions on HipHop based on the volumetric balderdash you guys write?

HNIC:
BTW, who is the DM for Bayelsa United?
He may be needed at Ashburton Grove

Unfortunately he was shot dead 3 days ago. . . . macabre jokes are in bad taste considering the fate that befell the young man. . . .

debosky:
Players like Senna, Yaya T, Xabi Alonso - people on that level of quality. Even if they haven't had as much experience/success, their ability levels must be comparable.

I thought you said you were looking for DMs with pace. . . . what pace do Alonso and Senna have to speak of?. . . . even Yaya Toure, whilst fast once he gets going is not a high energy presser of the ball like Flamini. . . . Arsenal should send out delegates to Milan to go and beg Flamini to come back 

I also implore you to stop taking any notice of Myles P. . . . how can a man with such limited knowledge of European footie inform your opinions on potential Arsenal targets?

debosky:
Carvalho wants to leave? How will that affect your defence or will Terry/Alex be sufficient?

Ivanovic, Mancienne can do the job. We even have Slobodan Rajkovic coming back from his loan spell and he can play centre-back or cover Ashley Cole at left-back, no shaking.

I wonder if Chelsea are thinking about Valencia from Wigan. He fits in with Chelsea's hustle hustle style.

Ramos could be the best right back - as of 2 years ago. Recently he has been very inconsistent.

Bosingwa is nowhere near Ramos or Maicon. Bosingwa will always allow you to cut inside him with no opposition.

Alves is good going forward, but defensively hes a wastepipe.

Maicon has it all - excellent going forward and more than competent defending.

I dont hate Barca, Im just pissed off at their highway robbery. In time Ill take em back as my favourite Spanish team again, when the hurt heals. 

debosky:
He must be - he's consistently playing for his club (so he doesn't get injured every 3 games like Diaby) and has won a title (which Diaby hasn't) as well as scoring decisive goals and becoming club captain (which Diaby can only dream about).

The only thing I can imagine right now is that Diaby has bigger lips than him.

Diaby would play every week for Stuttgart. Shikena!

Na lie. I dont agree that he is better than Diaby.

I have to say this again. . . . Myles P is an idiot!

Is there any political or family purpose why they are still keeping him on the machine? Most people who are brain-dead usually get shut down in 2 weeks or so.
