Look at this idiot. You should be happy that I even acknowledge my Igbo ancestry. Unlike you, I do not see the world in black and white. Do you not know that the Oru (Ijaw) people inhabited Southern Nigeria before anyone else? Oh boy go and check your history mehn.

I hope you remember at the Oputa panel when Elechi Amadi fought for the right to Ikwerre sovereignty and the Ikwerre representatives established the fact that they are a seperate nation from Ndigbo.

On one hand, you beg Nigeria for Independence. On the other hand, you refuse to allow the Etche's, Ahoadas and Ikwerres to forge their own destiny.

romeo:
Ifere megbuo gi anuofia!!

Amechi is HAUSA name, Amadi is Bini name, Odili is Nupe name Ogonis are asking for their state ohh!! Ikwere people are of Madingo descent

Eh. . . . so we should submit to our ancestry from 500 years ago. . . . culture's always diverge, my brother. Holland and Germany were the same country a few hundred years ago. Will you go and forcefully tell a Dutch man that he must accept German nationality? No wonder Ikwerres have been resisting forced annexation by Ndigbo for centuries.

FYI, the Ijaws inhabited Nigeria before the Igbo's, therefore all your arguments fall flat.

romeo:
You don't even know where you're from!! "My grandfather is Igbo, i am ijo but not by nature" An Igbo man can not become ijo!!

Look at this idiot. Just because I said my great grandfather is from Abia State. . . . infact, his mother is Ijo. At the present moment, my blood is only 1/8th Igbo, 1/8th Etche, 1/4 Ijaw and the other half is not even Nigerian. You think I am of incestous pure breed like you? Maybe you never heard of intermarriage. How dare you question my ethnicity when the last Amanyanabo of Okrika came from my family? Infact, my grandfather is fully Ijaw. I only claim Igbo from my grandmothers side since I never knew my grandfather.

So Romeo, there are only 2 tribes which own PH, Ikwerre and Okrika. Which of these is Igbo?

I have never heard of an Igbo man going home to his village in PH? Which Igbo man goes home to PH for Christmas?

When an Okrika man goes home to Abuloma or Amadi or Ipuculu, he is going home to his village in PH.

An Ikwerre man lives in his village in PH. Whether that be Elelenwo, Rumuomasi, Rumuobiakani, Rumoula or Diobu.

Which Igbo man goes home to his village in PH? Stupid slowpoke.

Upon the fact that you live in PH, you cannot tell that PH is owned by the Ikwerre's and Okrikas? Nama shobiri!

Dede1:
This is a typical example of misconception planted by the enemies of Ndigbo that Port Harcourt is not an Igbo town. The last time I checked though, it is neither Kalabari nor Ogoni town. The real name of Port Harcourt is Igwe-ocha mbarama or Igwe-ocha mbarm. I hope you remembered how the city was renamed after then British foreign secretary, Lord Harcourt.

Look at this idiot. It is this kind of expansionist attitude that creates enemies for Ndigbo. Which Igbo tribe lives in PH? This guy, you are truly demented. From Elelenwo to Mile 3 Park is the land of the Ikwerres, whilst from Park to Borokiri is the land of the Okrika's. Also from Mothercart down to Abuloma, Amadi and Slaughter belongs to Okrika. Just because you have a name for a place does not mean you own the place, it is simply a name that your people use to refer to the place. In Okrika, we also had a name for PH before the white man renamed it PH. That does not mean we own it. Ogoni is a name that the Ibani gave to the Ogoni's. Ogoni being a subversion of Igoni, meaning foreigner. That does not mean that the Bonny people have any right to claim Ogoni land as theirs. Igbo's cannot even claim Ahoada as their land, talkless of PH.

This kind of attitude shows exactly why Biafra lost the support of some Niger-Delta people in 1967. Stupid idiot!

Lucabrasi, what is your purpose for writing all these long paragraphs about the Igbo fight for sovereignty?

It is not their will to be in Nigeria. Full stop.

No amount of long lecture can change that.

In PH, although not an Igbo city, I can remember that we grumbled about "One Nigeria" since I was born. Nobody south of Lokoja wants to be part of this silly charade called Nigeria. It is finished.

The Biafran State will surely rise again. All it needs is a match to spark up. I hope you remember that Abacha wanted to fight Cameroun over Bakassi but was warned that if he tried that, the Igbos would seize the opportunity to throw sand in his garris and stake their claim for Independence with support from the Camerounians. Thats why we let Bakassi go without a fight.

You better believe the Igbo's are watching the Niger-Delta situation with interest. If qwatar start, they are out of this bitch.

All I can say is thank God we only gave LPS a 2 year contract - just incase we need to sack him. We should know by the end of this month.

Secondly, all those who were shouting SOS to Drogba, saying Drogba is going to save our season, Drogba will do this, that and the other - where is your Drogba now? Apart from his usual once-in-a-blue moon good performance against CFR Cluj, WTF has he actually done except miss chance after chance and spoil the rhythm of our game? It is time to stop accomodating this idiot.

Drogba is an immature prat with a narcissistic, God-complex personality who thinks we care about what he thinks - every week he cannot wait to tell us that he wants to play for Milan, then Juve, then Madrid, then Barca. Now he wants to tell us that he has lost his love for football (i.e I want to leave), Chelsea did not support him when his grandmum died, and the breaking news: He is expecting a 'nice surprise' in 2009 i.e. a transfer.

All I have to say is "PHOCK OFF DROGBA!!!". I am tired of this prat. I will give him away for free if possible.

I hope you guys noticed that he was the one who was supposed to be marking Clint Dempsey in the Fulham game.

I am glad all his teammates have turned against him now. I don't know why Africans, especially Nigerians fall in love so easily with this hair-frying prima-donna anyway.

Oh, and I forgot to mention. . . . . his first touch is rubbish. Infact, it is so poor, he would be rejected from our 5-a-side monkey-post matches that we used to play in Port-Harcourt.


OK,  now let me turn my attention to the others.


WTF happened to Bosingwa? Explanations on a postcard please.

I hope you guys notice the mistakes Alex made against Cluj and West Ham, being drawn to the ball and leaving Craig Bellamy all on his own. Time to go. He is not happy on the bench, and he is too quiet to be an effective defender. Need I remind all that 50% of defending is communication.

Deco - please return to sender.

Malouda, Kalou - not even good enough for Aston Villa.

Ballack - Old Rojer is dead and gone to his grave. I hope it's just a temporary thing.

Joe Cole - WTF happened to Joey? Current form is unacceptable.


Scolari - Out of ideas and rapidly running out of time. His initial 3-5-2 system has been sussed out. Yes, it was 3-5-2, because Mikel was made an auxiliary defender. Like I said at the start of the season, as soon as you put pressure on the full-backs, Scolari's system falls to pieces. His attitude and body language is defeatist. Yesterday, he said he needs to teach his players "confidence". What confidence? They had confidence under JM and Avram. He has broken their confidence with his defeatist attitude. Training is not intense enough, and half of confidence comes from knowing you are fitter than your opponent, as a famous footballer once said. The reason we are conceding late goals? - lack of intense fitness training. Players lose concentration when they are tired. And yes, we are missing Steve Clarke. Ray Wilkins is too much of a yes man. We need someone to inject some fire and anger into these players - and Ray Wilkins is too jovial for that. Who remembers Henk Ten Cate? That mothaphocka really beat the players into shape under Avram Grant, to the point that he almost had a fight with JT because he was pushing Mikel too hard. That is the kind of sergeant we need right now. I am not surprised his Panathinaikos team won their Champions League group. Scolari's assistants look like some pot-bellied moustached relics from the 1970's.

Scolari himself has not coached club football since 2001. I hope he knows the physical fitness needed to play football has increased since 2001. I also hope he knows that you need more fitness in Europe than you do in South America.

Scolari, fix up and look sharp because the knives are out!

Muki, here's my quarter-final verse against Worldbest because I'm going to be busy for the next couple of days.



I can see-that-ya-tense/ So just let me win, and ease-your-suspense/
This is ya last chance to scream-for-the-feds. . . before this beating-commence!/

Don't be the next-guy to test-I / Ya ex-tied . . .
your d[/i]ick to the 'steering’ of a BMW X5 . . . still, you had no 'sexdrive'!!/

My infectious-wit/ shit on your pathetic generic-scripts/
your rap career’s stalled . . . but my '[i]potential' turns 'kinetic' quick!/

Your lax verbal etiquette. . . sets a bad precedent. . . for a minority element/

Au contraire, I’m debonair. . / with the rarest-lection/ and a flair for lyrics that’s near-perfection/   
But I’ma stop there. . . . before you get an ear-infection!!!/

Just beware-who-you-testing/ and leave-me-alone/
'cus you ‘playing yourself’. . . if you think you’re in a ‘league-of-your-own’/

I admit I’m not a player . . and yes, my girl looks quite-bland/
And you have a lot of one night-stands. . . . with ya right-hand!/

romeo:
Hypocrite!!

Abi you don't like trade-protectionism? 

superboi:
well as much as i hate okada it is still a neccessity in phc. i live in abuja but i've been in phc for the last 2 week on hols. phc does not have the road network to support cabs usage economically. in abuja i enter cabs(drop) for a distance like woji to waterline for 200 naira but in phc i would have to pay close to 1000 naira just because i pay for the drivers time in hold up. what amechi should have done for now was to keep the bikes of the main arteries of the city e.g aba road, east/west road et al and allow bike to act as feeders to the major busstop to this route. this decision is just going to make the traffic suitation much worse, cause more individual are going to put their personal cars on the road and some of the bike guys too would swicth to cabbing

I was going to suggest the same thing. Imagine being stuck in traffic from Woji to Artillery for 2 hours. If not for Okada, I don't know how guys in Woji would survive.

How can you copy Abuja when Abuja has a modern road network system whilst we are still surviving with Aba road and such which the British left for us.

lol. Leave the guy alone jor. Stop being pedantic mehn.

Do you see BTS operating through the narrow streets of Ogbunagbali or from Rainbow to Mothercart? Or Rumuomasi? How about Okrika island where the roads are only wide enough to allow one car through at a time, where the ONLY way of getting around the town is Okada?

Until Government organise the roads and ease congestion, they have no moral right to get rid of Okada. If they are unhappy with the reckless driving of Okada men, they should simply licence it, teach the Okada drivers road ethiquette through the driving exam, and police them properly. Ever since I was 10 years old, my preferred mode of transport in PH has been Okada because I no get time for traffic. Thats why you always used to see the Oyinbo's on their powerbikes in PH. Naija man always like to look regal in his car, even if that means spending 5 hours in traffic.

Knowledge is for everyone in London. But PH should implement it for non-indigenes.

otokx:
Amaechi is taking the bull by the horns and this "increase in crime theory" will not work not with the JTF looking for action. Infact the JTF will seize the bike men and kill them then relocate their bikes to their home towns up north as a reward for their self less service. Driving through town today was quite a pleasurable experience except for the police road blocks.

Otokini, what of all the guys on foot trying to make it from A-B. You may be comfortable in your car but majority do not own cars.

What will not work is Amaechi's belief that this move will depopulate PH. The Okada drivers will just find another hustle.

IMO, they should have just licenced Okada. There is something we have here in London called "The Knowledge" where black cab drivers have to study for 2 years before they can get a licence. What Amaechi should have done is licence Rivers State indigenes to drive Okada and allow those from foreign states to get the licence but only after taking exams for 2 years. That should provide enough disincentive to the foreigners whilst creating jobs for River State youth.

The presence of Okada is simply down to supply and demand. If there wasn't a need for them (due to bad roads and intolerable traffic), they wouldn't be on the road. Amaechi is playing with people's livelihoods. He needs to come up with more innovative ideas. Fashola, he is not.

Why Igbo go suffer?  They have been trying to pay me to acquire Igbo Nationality since 19 kporodimkpom but I refuse to relinquish my Izon passport.

Why is he available for £10 when Marseille signed him for 18m euros in the summer (Since £ and Euro are now the same, that means they will make an 8m euro loss in just 6 months.) Unlike you guys, I have never rated Ben Arfa. He is all promise and no delivery. Why would Lyon sell him to their greatest rivals? He is not a Chelsea player. All I see is dressing room disharmony.

Lagos excluded, we can see that Rivers State is the most enlightened State in Nigeria.

Ben Arfa is bad news. Bad personality. The guy is a narcissist.

Amaechi dey craze. With all the traffic in PH, how can you ban Okada? Okada is the most traffic-free form of transport there is.

Yury Zhirkov is on his way according to rumours. He is a left winger, but he played left back at the Euro's. Two-in-one replacement for Bridge and Malouda.

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=38921.msg3293851#msg3293851 date=1230853075]Without a doubt, Canibus is the most underrated MC in the world.
He is a brain box and extremely knowledgeable to be a rapper. . . . . .I woulda loved to see a 2Pac/Canibus beef.
Canibus is savvy, brilliant and has a wide range of subject matter than all the rappers put together.

Check out his lyrics on "Cemantics". . . . .I learnt more from Canibus than all the years i spent in the Uni.
He is the illest homo sapien to hold the mic.
Too bad he is not mainstream, too sad.[/quote]My Canibus days finished around 2000. . . . I was the biggest Canibus fan in school. . . .after his second album, I stopped feeling him from C True Hollywood stories and MicClub onwards. . . . he just sounds depressing these days. . . . still, he was in my top three in the 90's heydey along with Big Pun and Big L. . . . I remember when Canibus came to Subterranea in 2000. . . . . I have never received my money's worth from a concert like that day. . . . he performed for 2 hours straight. . . . I even managed to sneak into the club before the concert and walked in to find Canibus doing his soundcheck. . . . mehn, I was so starstruck, but I went and chatted to him for a few minutes anyway. . . .

As for Canibus and Pac, no disrespect, but Pac is not a battler.

Big L and Canibus are undoubtebly the Kings of punchlines. . . .

My friend sharrap dia! Was it not Madiebo who criticised Ojukwu for overseeing all the purchase of weaponry himself and giving the contract to one of his foreign friends? Did Madiebo not say that the weapons they received were rubbish and not up to par? If you read between the lines, Madiebo was implying that someone chopped money, whether it is Ojukwu or the contractor. This was a strong cause of conflict between the Biafran Generals and Ojukwu at the time, although no one dared question Ojukwu.

Nigeria is a failed state. Proponents of "One Nigeria" will soon wake up.

Which black boy? . . . Chelsea player?

Yeah. . . . Ryan Bertrand. . . .England Under-21 International.

What of that black boy on loan to Norwich. I don forget him name. Anyway, £12m is a good deal for us. Let him go. Lets go and buy that Congo boy who is on loan to West Ham from Toulouse. Herita Illunga. Good player.

Muki, Shaz, Xtino. No need to post the verses in battles where contestants are disqualified or in battles where there are no-shows. It makes it more confusing and tedious for the voters. Please only post verses for a battle where we actually have a contest.
