Akhenaten,

Fine.  I didn't see you say I was formenting trouble, cos, I'm not.  And never have.  I have no intention of ever creating problems between fellow Africans.

That picture is Adekunle.  I have seen the original in glossy black and white.  

Don't you want to be accurate?

Anyway, I'm done.  Do whatever you want.
PoliticsRe: Let's Have Your Complaints Here by isalegan2: 2:30am On Jan 10, 2011
Akhenaten,

I didn't see anywhere where you called me a "tribalist." Did you?

You just lost credibility with me because I told you that picture is not what you say it is.  Can't you look it?  

The whole thing just makes me distrust you.

I'm not mad, really.  I don't get your whole deal with all those horrible pictures, and if one is wrong, that calls into question your whole agenda.  

P.S. I think you're confusing me with someone else. I have never made what can be considered tribalist or anti-Igbo or whatever posts.

Akhenaten,

You've got a lot of nerve picking on AlhjHarem when you yourself have ulterior motives for creating that thread - very nefarious motives indeed.  The whole thread should be deleted.

I told you, several hours ago, that the picture you posted on page 2, at 7:33:24pm labeled "Biafran Soldier" is none other than Brigadier Benjamin Adekunle.  Yet you did nothing and offered no explanation.  I'm guessing you lifted the image from the book Adekunle's son edited "The Biafra War Letters."

[quote author=isale_gan2 link=topic=582396.msg7496704#msg7496704 date=1294603251]Yes, it is a picture of a Nigerian soldier!  Not just any soldier!  It is a picture of the Black Scorpion himself, Benjamin Adekunle. 

From where did you lift that image?

Who the hell are you, man?  You can't tell Adekunle apart from a Biafran soldier?![/quote]

Roxanna Green, the mother of the nine-year-old girl who was killed in the Arizona shootings, said she was called by a friend to say that she should get to the hospital quickly on Saturday.

"We just all rushed over there," Ms. Green said on Fox News (see video below). "They told us the bad news, that she had a bullet hole through the chest. They tried to save her but she just couldn't make it. I saw her right after that. I spent a lot of time with her and said goodbye to her."
Foreign AffairsRe: Usa Congresswoman Shot; Federal Judge Killed; 5 More Dead by isalegan2(op): 7:23pm On Jan 09, 2011
FBI Director Mueller is doing his shtick now.

So the dead are:
1) The federal judge, John Roll, the Chief Judge of US District Court in Arizona;
2) The 9-yr-old, Christina Taylor Green;
3) The Congresswoman's aide, 30-yr old Mr. Gabriel Zimmerman;
Who are other 3?

edited: Jan 10:

4) 76-yr old Dorothy Morris, lifelong republican who attended event with her husband who was also shot;
5) 76-yr old Dorwan Stoddard who attended event with his wife who was wounded;
6) 79-yr old widowed great-grandmother, Phyllis Schneck.

i believe an igbo can be governor of lagos state only if he is loved bu the yoruba indegence, if not even tinubu can not put him there because it would be ungovernable for him undecided form opc to awori boys, to mainland, to isale, eko, obalende, etc sululera

etc  undecided  unless the igbos guy is yorubazied as jason suggested and he is loved by not only lagosains but by yorubas undecided
Sounds like you lived a long time in Lagos.  So, you must have met lots of Ibos who were born and raised there, speaking Yoruba and mingling well with Lagosians.  I'm not going to pretend there weren't hostility from some, but there were many Ibos who blended well.
I can see someone with an Igbo last name, maybe born of a Yoruba mother with long history in Lagos, becoming governor in 10-20 years from now.  It won't be easy, but it can be done.  It is probably more likely to have a Lagosian born of Tapa (long-term Lagosian) parents get in there first though.

Pres_Elect,
Do you hold the other side responsible for her death then?  What if the boy was just a nutjob?

Sorry, I can't abide the dregs at Fox News.  What are they saying?   That Giffords is a blue-dog democrat?  From what I also read, she did drastically change her liberal-moderate stance on some issues to get re-elected.  And she wasn't above sacrificing Speaker Pelosi in the process.  I've been a huge fan of Nancy Pelosi for ever and a day, so maybe I'm biased.

What's the latest on her condition?  Why in the world did that judge make a detour to the event?  He'd be alive now.  So many questions! 

Sorry for everyone.

P.S. There is no amount of criticism that can be thrown at that hideous Glen Becks that will get my sympathy though. The man is an utter disgrace.

That wasn't a criticism directed at you.  No worries,

Here are some readers comments from a reputable newspaper.  Just goes to show you, during time of crises, no society is immune from overreaction.

In a way, we have all been shot in the head. This country is dying.

We either change this country for the better of all people, or we will have civil war very soon.

Whenever something like this happens, I become concerned about the future of the United States. Are these kinds of of violence isolated incidents perpetuated by some crazy individual? Or are they symptoms of the end of democratic institutions?

Why is there such an alarm of this sort of incident happening in this country?

It's mourning in America.

"5 killed on the scene. . . 1 died at the hospital."

Personally, I'm glad that racist publicity seeking Arizano Sheriff (of Maricopa County) Arpaio is no where to be seen.  I hate that guy!!!  He loves the camera so frigging much.

The sheriff giving the press conference is Sheriff Dupnik of Pima County, Arizona.
