Its inevitable. No matter how long you have stayed in a place u have to read the signs, cut your losses and run.

Yerima and his political sharia was the final nail in the coffin. Boko haram is just the final burial

woodboi: Blackface naija always hit hard on dem too.

Correct talk. Nneka is also another lyrical warrior. I remember when she was doing a song called "vagabonds in power" live in warri and some SSS men tried to pull her off the stage. If not for the crowd they might have picked her up

Ikenna351: When Jesus Christ was on Earth carrying out his mission, the Scribbes, Pharisseas and Sadduccees were shouting and attacking him "Who is this thing? The son of a Carpenter to come and tell us about the good and bad? Who is he to come to tell us the trained priest, lawyers, etc, what is wrong or right? " Of course, Jesus knew what he would face in their hands before he came for the mission. At the end, did he succeed or not? Why is the whole world celebrating him, both Christians and non-christians, after he had finished what He came for and left? Answer that yourself. Yes, am not Jesus Christ, but i do know what it would take to cleanse a system. Guys, trust me, i knew what i would face. My point is, Am Well Prepared!

Tribalism! Hmm! State of being loyal to ones tribe. Isnt it?

A school of thought would argue that the root cause of underdevelopment of most African countries, including Nigeria, is Tribalism. When looked it in all ramifications, the truth in that thought is so glaring. Some had gone far to blame the colonial masters for laying the foundation of tribalism in African countries, that had crippled the economy of the continent. But then, for how should we blame someone that left your house and you keep blaming him causing trouble between you and your wife, after decades?

Tribalism! What led to the first massacre or slaughter of human beings in Nigeria? Isnt it tribalism? When a certain tribe felt that the first coupe in Nigeria was lopsided, and the perpetuators of the "crime" were left unpurnished by one of the accused tribe that killed their tribal spokesmen. The massacre of Igbos in the north began, which led to the civil war. Did it stop there? No. Even after the way, the hatred has been eaten deep into everyone, such that a small issue would lead to another slaughtering of Igbos in the North, even before Boko haram saga started. Triablism! Hmm!

When one becomes so loyal to his tribe that he is willing to inflick pain another fellow human being to prove his loyalty to his tribe. Yes, thats Tribalism we have in Nigeria. When one is so loyal to his tribe that he can go any lentgh to defend his tribe by instigating hatred in the minds of the young ones that " He is your enemy, hate him with passion and insult him in a manner that he would hate you back and keep his distance". Yes, thats Tribalism we propagate in Nairaland. To loyal to ones tribe to do anything, no matter how evil it is, to defend or prove loyalty to ones tribe. Yes, there is nothing with tribalism, after all, its institutionalised in Nigerian constitution or law. Thats how we rationalize the promotion of Tribalism in Nairaland.

If you could intimidate my co-mods, sorry guys, you have met the wrong person. Dont worry, you guys are just starting to know me.

If Mr. Seun wakes up in the morning and decides Ikenna351 will no longer mod this section. Guess what i would do? I will find a quite place, kneel down, look up and say "Thank you for giving me that little opportunity to do a good thing for the public for free". Yes, i owe humanity something. This is one of them, no matter how long it lasts. But as long as i still see myself as a co-mod here, i will carryout my method of sanitizing this section to the later. I will say it again, Bring It On!

I remembered when the Igbos were starting various threads in this section, everyone was shouting why should tribal topics meant for the ethnic section be allowed in the Politcs section. They were all later moved to the ethnic section, where ethnicity should be discussed. Now, extreme tribalism should not be discorouged in this section, so that we will see more people to instigate and haul tribal slurs to. Good to know.

Freedom of expression! It means i have the right to insult and curse an unborn child in your wife's belly and wish her dead. Yes, thats freedom of expression. It also means i have the right to curse your child to sleep tonight and not wake up in the morning. Yes, thats freedom of expression. Of course, you would say abomination. Whoever say such a thing should be stoned to death. Well, it will make sense. But when it comes to insulting another tribe with offensive names that would pain the other tribes insulted, then it should be allowed because "thats freedom of expression".

When you approach a lady you want to toast and found out she is from Yoruba and you are an Igbo, if you call her a Yoruba and she frowns her face, would you call her Yoruba again? Knowing what your mission is? Of course, you wouldnt, but them its ok to call everyone them here the name, because you dont care how he or she would feel. Rather, it will make you more happy if she feels bad. Isnt it. Of course, you would rationalize it by siting a book where a prominent man used the word Yoruba, but you wont dare say it that chick you want to date for obvious fear of rejection. Good to know.

Finally, you are pouring water on a rock if you think you can intimidate me, no matter how you guys gang up. Lets see how it goes.

Ikenna.

I'm sure you are a bit surprised at the outrage being expressed by those who cannot live without sharing their bigotry with the world.

This site has been a hub of poison for the minds of millions of people and its being fomented ny not more than 10 people. I hope you have stamina because only consistent discipline will suppress tribalism like one former diehard moderator I've been reading called debosky.

Goodluck

alj harem: Look here are facts and I am waiting for any bigot to dispose of it.

1. How did Achebe frictional/personal encounter translate to African writer's best

2. Achebe can never be respect in Nigeria because of his last book that has destoryed the progress we have tried to foster among Igbos with other ethnic group

3. The world elite and educated, God fearing ones can never respect Achebe because he was a known bigot

4. Achebe has achieved nothing for Igbo people other than create hate in the hearts of younger generations fact

5. Not only did he not achieve anything for Igbo people but also he has no contribution/charity/foundations etc for any african society upon his statue so of what purpose is his "respect"

This is lame even for a bigot of your calibre

nwando: [size=18pt]
And who is Ibrahim bello?
Achebe we know
Soyinka we know
Who the heck is bello[/size]

Daily post ? ROFL

We are talking about Achebe and quoting CNN the London telegraph and Soyinka himself and you talk about Bello
Why not your grandfather

Don't waste your time asking. The yoruba guy who posted that demon's vomit has over 1000 monikers on this site and has claimed kanuri, igbo, hausa, kanuri-igbo, itsekiri etc. Until he confused himself and got exposed. Sanctity of fact no mean anything to am. Lol

manny4life: Ok na, so all SAM did was express his POV, but when Prof. Achebe expressed his POV, you amongst other people tagged him "tribal bigot", now u can see why you people are known for double mouth.

They are also known for being full of bullshyte

GEJ has shown that he has no resolve to do anything that will make the slightest break from the past. Shameful stuff from a man that nigerians solidly backed and voted into power.

The man called goodluck started off by talking about how he knew the people behind BH now he is granting amnesty to the same mass murderers. I personally take this as a limp cop-out and admission that the matter is beyond him and money should be thrown at a problem being tackled head-on by other west african states facing islamic militants.

Nigeria is the only country facing this menace that has resorted to throwing money at terrorists.

Its unfortunate that GEJ wants to use this thing to play politics.

When noble men like these speak GEJ would be wise to listen to them

Oldef: ♒ђåª•ђåª•ђåª♒, this is pretty cool, die hard fans battling it out for supremacy. Well in M̶̲̥̅γ̲̣̣̥ own opinion, Ruggedman shouldn't have taken it this personal, not especially on press media when he could have made a good record with all that plenty cars and award ish, he broke through dissing people too, even went as far as hitting an artist on a track the same artist featured him on (Idris Abdulkareem ft Ruggedman). Believe U me, wealth is never gonna be a true measurement of hardwork if not labourer for get money pass Professor. Anyway, Entertainment: Ruggedman cause I see him more as a comedian, Lyrically: Mode 9 cause that dude is got bars, punchlines and he serves metaphors hot and smokey(dudes cold flow brings more AC's to Milan for real). In any case, I stumbled on dis blogg while looking for how to download d new stuff from Mode9. That Niggah fused d Old and New skool perfectly in that song, mad club banger, True students of hip-hop should be on the look out for this one men. No diss directed at anyone pls, just M̶̲̥̅γ̲̣̣̥ opinion.

Ruggedman bytched relentlessly in this interview. Mode 9 and coconut head had beef, Mode fried his arze in a track called "deathblow" and ruggedman did nothing but rant to the press! That aint hip-hop that's puzzy!

chino11: Let me make it clear to you. Ngige is my man anytime, any-day. Infact before I joined fed. min.,the first stint I made on being close to government was during Ngige's time when he made my uncle special adviser on IGR. Infact I would most times accompany my uncle to meet Ngige on the updates concerning the growth of IGR in the state.

Ngige is a charistmatic leader and a man with so much energy and stamina. He would most times visit sites to confirm the SPECs applied by contractors. But I wouldn't give it to him when talks trash about Obi, who has equally affected lives in almost all the sectors.

Ngige did well no doubt. He did most roads which were abandoned prior before he came. But in the case of Obi, he touched many areas: road, education, agriculture, transport, ict, industrialization and creation of much needed employment.

Infact I would still love leaders in the mould of Obi and Ngige to lead Anambra once more. Dalu

I respect your response nwanna. I can tell you are on ground and have definitely more than a passing look at what is going on. I personally would like us to encourage competition among our politicians and if ngige can drive competition for the good of our state then so be it.

On a personal level I must confess that obi's tenure has favoured my family at home directly but I still think he can do so much more for everyone especially in areas of security and orientation which our people need. These are areas where ngige did very well.

Our home could be better and I don't care who's in charge. Na all of us get am and if there is no giant strides taken at this sensitive time our children will grow up to yab our generation

Na wa o. So person no fit criticise him own governor again without all this cursing and insults? I don't see any real impact obi has made.

I haven't really stayed in the east for long enough periods to really evaluate but what I hear in the street whenever I'm on ground is very different from what his online supporters are saying.

The common man genuinely believes in ngige, that's no coincidence. The things that the ordinary man felt were impossible before ngige suddenly became reality.

No wonder. That explains the statement of an army officer I travelled with a few days before this amnesty was announced. The officer kept on saying "we are very angry, from top to bottom". Now it makes sense

[quote author=Dudu_Negro]no its not.....its the truth!

so far, there has been five different versions and all of them coming from people of east or south for why boko wanted to attack lagos.[/quote]Meaningless. The only southerners who are members of boko haram are from YOUR homeland bruv

[quote author=Dudu_Negro]bokoharam is not interested in hitting lagos. SE/SS are interested in hitting Lagos.[/quote]How old are you sef? Have u ever been to nigeria before.

[quote author=Dudu_Negro]so since the incident what measures is in place for ihejirika to stop this mode of smuggle?

ihejirika must think he is talking to elementary school boys ......well, yes he was, he was addressing an igbo gathering, and not the governor and definitely not the ojora.

gasoline fumes is too volatile and unstable to accomodate a fusile material such as ied. ied contains high grade phosphorous materials. how the fvk you gonna ship that combustible combo and survive 10km of travel, much. more 1000kms?

who do you know that will carry a box of matches in an empty gasoline can and survive 10km of travel with it? an ied in a empty gasoline truck is 100 times more volatile and hazardous than the matches in a gas tank.

no wonder he has not wiped out boko, three years into a face off with them.....because he thinks narrowly of possibilities.

the signature is there for all to see.....SE/SS are facilitating terrorism in Yorubaland, simple!!![/quote]I have decided to ignore all these diaspora ppl and their poison but this is just plain hilarious. Una go siddon for your safe base dey type opata. If e set now u go come carry gun fight for your ppl?

Anyway I have noticed that home based ppl don't easily fall for all this una jingoist trash anymore

GEJ is a continuation of the pdp curse so he is bound to be the focus of hate. However he is specially disliked becaused he campaigned on the back of being a nobody and "kid without shoes" and he rules like the cabal before him. Only this time he is the first "weak" president

Of course the hatred is also fueled by the relentless campaign by his opponents in the north and their allies in the south west

ewet: You set up your own political party and run it whicheva way u thnk is rite.But if u havnt done this you need to just shut up and quit whining.If you were half as gud as tht guy is you wuld be far ahead by now.

What makes you think that I was not speaking favourably of his political skills abi u dey mad. Don't read my posts when u don smoke. Mouse droppings like you

How could I forget the most important point.

He made obasanjo feel like a chump. When obj witheld lagos state allocation tinubu made lagos self reliant by force. Baba was suddenly the toothless bulldog and tinubu became a hero

I really dislike the man but make I talk true -

1. The man knows POLITICS sir! No other politician in this country knows how to work the nigerian system like him. Unknown to his supporters, Goodluck and Tinubu are very tight paddies because he knows how important tinubu is to his 2015 ambition.

2. The man knows how to work the ethnicity card. He's created a party which serves a rallying point for yorubas. (Though I can swear he doesn't believe in it himself) truth be told I haven't seen this level of intertwining of ideology, ethnocentrism and organisation in ages.

3. The man exploited the gap left by an all powerful military rule and has been able to push the inevitable call for pure FEDERALISM. He has always had a knack for embracing the popular struggle of the day. Ie June 12 and now Regionalism

rhymz: Imagine as an Igbo person that grew up in Lagos, lived my life mostly around Yoruba and other southern people coming to NL to discover that all along, the friendly smiles anf laughters, sacrifices, love, and harmonious living with these wonderful people so far have been fake; that these people have been putting up with me; that they hate my guts.

OP - no worry yourself the people you grew up with in lagos are very different from the frustrated diaspora yorubas typing like freaks from their basements repeating the same nonsense in an attempt to incite hatred. Most ppl in nigeria are not so twisted

OP- did you start this thread for some laughs.

Enugu APC meets, accuses PDP of deceiving Igbos
Premium Times - 7 hours agoNEWS

The association said the PDP has been deceiving the South East geo-political zone.
The Enugu State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, rose from a one-day stakeholders’ preliminary meeting on Friday and declared that the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has not only failed the nation in the last 14 years, but also squandered over N50 trillion of the nation’s wealth and should, therefore, be dislodged from power, come 2015.
The chapter also said that the second tenure of the Governor of Enugu State, Sullivan Chume, a member of PDP, has become a disaster, alleging that it is riddled with corruption while the economy has become stagnant.
This is contained in a communiqué jointly signed by the representatives of the four merging political parties.
They are Val Nnaedozie of the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN; Emma Eneukwu of the All Nigeria Peoples, ANPP; Peter Okonkwo of the All Progressive Grand Alliance, APGA; and Osita Okechukwu of the Congress for Progressive Change, CPC.
The party noted that the squandering of the money has resulted in the country having dilapidated roads, poor power supply, unemployment and abject poverty.
“For the avoidance of doubt, we are bidding goodbye to the PDP at all tiers of government –federal, state and local council government because of pervasive corruption, resulting in the squandering of over N50 Trillion which accrued to the nation in the past 14 years,” the APC said.
“The regrettable outcome is dilapidated roads, epileptic power supply, gross unemployment, abject poverty and insecurity in the land.”
Deceiving Ndigbo
The political association said it also wants PDP out of power because the latter’s administration at the federal level has been deceiving the people of the South East geo-political zone who have voted massively for it since 1999.
It listed three projects initiated by the PDP administration in the South-East but which it claimed have not been executed.
The projects are Onitsha Sea Port, Second Niger Bridge, and 3-D Seismic Survey for Enugu Coal-Fired-Plant.
It said, “We are bidding good- bye to the PDP because the South East since 1999 had voted massively for the PDP at every election and none of the promises made has been fulfilled. What we witnessed is April – Fool fanfare launching of Onitsha Sea Port by President Goodluck Jonathan and six months down the line no boat talk less of sea vessel had berthed in the so called port.
“In another make belief, few weeks ago we were told that the Second Niger Bridge has been awarded and we ask – where is the design of the bridge? Where is the environmental impact assessment? Where is the property valuation report? What is the cost of the contract?
“Thirdly, the 3-D Seismic Survey’s money budgeted for Enugu Coal-Fired-Plant initiated by Professor Barth Nnaji in the 2012 Budget ; we understand has grown wings and flew into the pockets of very important officials of President Jonathan administration.”
Chime’s a failure
The APC expressed worry over the tenure of Mr. Chime as Enugu Governor, saying it has rendered the people of the state hopeless and thrown them into a state of despair and despondency because of corruption.
“We are appalled that the second tenure of Governor Sullivan Chime has become a disaster, riddled with corruption and the state economy enveloped with deep stagnation, which has rendered the good people of Enugu hopeless and thrown them in a state of despair and despondency,” the association stated.
It urged the people to join hand with merging parties to dislodge the PDP from power during the 2015 general elections, adding that “no electorate ever rewards a political party for poor performance.”

dayokanu: The lines are blurred when it comes to Ibo atrocities because Ibos or Biafrans are not capable of commiting atrocities? Have you read what Biafran soldiers did in the Midwest?

What happened in the mid west? So far only nowa omoigui and his nairaland disciples have been touting this slur

Eko Ile: To start with, invading other people's land and subjugation the inhabitants is atrocity, but you are free to tell us exactly what happened when the rag tag biafra village rebels invaded the mid west. Were they there to picnic, party with the people of the Midwest, drink pami and hang out?


Btw, I've read Omoigui's accounts several times and I subscribe to every fact in his write ups.

Thanks for throwing my question right back in my face. If omoigui's angle is your "authoritative" historical source you are welcome to it but I'd rather look to more reliable ones.

First of all I believe you are talking about the midwest invasion. While I will never deny that men with guns and civilian populace don't miz because there are bound to be casualties, I will never accept that there were organised or even significant acts of brutality.

After biafran troops retreated from the midwest, the federal government set up a commission to investigate alleged rebel atrocities in the midwest. That commission came up short and faded into the dark because there was nothing to report, even though the gowon regime was desperate for something to counter biafra's image as the oppressed party. They were not on a mission to hang out and shack pami like u said but one thing is for sure, THERE WERE NO BIAFRAN ATROCITIES in the midwest. Chikena

eko ilee: What about the biafran atrocities against innocent people in SS and Mid west like invasion, subjugation, dehumanization, killing of innocent people, children, stealing goats and yams, raping women and shelling inhabited buildings?


Please keep quiet..

You obviously have no evidence or sources of this misinformation you just farted across cyberspace. There were no atrocities in the midwest and please do not copy and paste omoigui.com. Come up with some respectable sources.

I've always liked desperate chicks. Their first single "okpom ekwe" was just hilarious. I really note with pride, the way Stormrex stepped up with some nice performances in her solo career. Kerenke, I like am, ukwu ft flavour are all pure gold

Dede1: Did you read book by August Okpe? Is Willy Murray-Bruce the same guy from Bayelsa State?

One and the same. He's the eldest brother of ben murray-bruce. Its amazing how that mini-con squad was made up of some well-to-do folk

Afam4eva: For the government to accede to this request will be an acceptance that they've failed in their duty to secure the lives and property of the average Nigerian. What Ezeife is advocating for is already been done by a lot of Igbos in the North and it did not start with bokoharam. It started because of the inter-tribal and inter-religious killings in the North which was pre-boko. These weapons that some Igbos in the North wirld cannot do anything to stop a bomb unfortunately. The government must rise up to it's duties to protect it's citizens.

Mark my words when I say that hausa mobs will never be able to kill igbos in the north like they used to without bloody reprisals and heavy losses. Now they use bombs so its very difficult to defend or take the fight to the enemy

Gowon is allergic to accountability. Heck this is a man who didnt even like the idea of the oputa panel being held. Write a memoir? for where!

T9ksy: Source=======>http://www.dawodu.com/benson2.htm

But how does an NCNC igbo man trying to smash a mace in the legislature add up to Okpara planning wetie in the western region.

T9ksy: Instead, they colluded with their Fulani masters to cause mayhem in yorubaland hoping that they can then sweep in and take over yorubaland until akintola told them where to go. How many yorubas lost their lives in the subsequent “operation wetie” instigated by okpara?

Kindly shed more light on this please. I've never heard this one before
