THE NORTH IS GETTING A FEEL OF WHAT NIGER DELTA IS NOW USED TO. The military Joint Task Force (JTF) established by the Federal Govern-ment to restore order to Borno State is now locked in a war of words with the Committee of Borno Elders and Leaders of Thought, accusing them of having sympathy for the sect, Boko Haram, which has been carrying out a bombing campaign in some parts of the North. The elders had issued a statement on Monday asking for the withdrawal of troops from Maiduguri on the ground that their presence was rather escalating the crisis and that they were involved in human rights abuses, including rape. But speaking to journalists Thursday, the Commander of the JTF code-named “Opera-tion Restore Order”, Major General Jack Okechukwu Nwaogbo, alleged that the “lies” against his men were “the handiwork of sponsors, sympathisers and members of the sect aimed at discrediting the task force so as to have a field day to operate”. He said: “The JTF wishes to draw the attention of the public to some allegations against the personnel of the JTF in some of the national newspapers. One of such allegations was that hundreds of youths have been shot and killed by soldiers for no known reason other than they are young people.” Nwaogbo said this allegation was not true as those killed were members of the Boko Haram sect, insisting that the officers of the JTF were professionals and were in the state to restore law and order. He further said: “No member (of the JTF) is involved in rape… the cordon-and-search carried out is properly supervised by members of all security agencies.” According to him, the youths that were responsible for the rape were reported and arrested with the assistance of the people in Gwange area and were currently in the custody of the JTF, and that one of them that was seriously beaten up had been admitted to the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital (UMTH). The commander lamented that it was sad that some people had now found their voices on happenings in Borno which they had kept quiet all along until the clampdown on the sect members started. He asked what happened to these voices when the fundamentalists were having a field day killing and maiming at will and paralyzing businesses. But the Borno elders and leaders of thought have reacted, insisting that the abuses actually took place. The statement read: “The attention of this committee has been drawn to a widely circulated press release by the spokesman of the Joint Task Force operating in Maiduguri. The statement was to the effect that the spokesman of the soldiers was denying the involvement of their men in the mass killing of innocent people and destruction of houses, vehicle etc. “This committee will want to re-echo its stand and state without an iota of doubt that the soldiers have engaged themselves in extra judicial killing of people and other ungodly acts unbecoming of their role as those who are supposed to safeguard the lives, property and dignity of Nigerians. “We have incontrovertible evidences to prove our claims. For example even at the most recent incident at Kaleri, over 40 persons were killed while the Task Force claimed they killed only eleven as if the eleven human beings are nothing. So many houses and cars were burnt.” The elders further said: “In any case, the affected communities are there and the remnants of items destroyed are also there. These are very easy to assess and verify. The communities affected know who did the damages. Those fleeing Maiduguri are still alive to give evidence.” They lamented that, “it is very unfortunate that the JTF has been trying to justify their unacceptable and outrageous acts instead of showing remorse and checking the excesses of their men.” They said they had not changed their minds on their call to the Federal Government to immediately withdraw all soldiers from the streets of Maiduguri, asking government that “to do otherwise would mean the intention is to destroy the city of Maiduguri”. The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) has, meanwhile, added its voice to that of the elders, calling for the immediate withdrawal of the soldiers. The NBA, in a press release signed by the chairmen of its Maiduguri and Biu chapters, Aminu Sani and Bala Aliyu, called on President Goodluck Jonathan to immediately withdraw the soldiers from Maiduguri and Jere. The two chapters after rising from an emergency meeting in Maiduguri also condemned what it called “the excesses of the JTF” and called for a full investigation and prosecution of “all those found culpable in the atrocities perpetrated on innocent, defenceless citizens of Nigeria and Borno” on July 6 and 9. Their demands included the setting up of a judiciary commission of inquiry to be headed by a retired or serving high court judge to investigate those who lost their lives and/or properties and recommend appropriate compensation; Borno State government to revisit the total ban on the use of motorcycles and to release without further delay the tricycles promised; improved intelligence gathering and have dialogue with the aggrieved members of the sect. Also included are the prosecution of those responsible for the extra judicial killings of the leaders of Boko Haram members which should be publicised and addressing of the cause of the problems leading to the crisis of July 29, 2009. In another press release, a paramount ruler in Borno State, the Shehu of Borno, Alhaji Abubakar Ibn Umar Garbai El-Kanemi, has appealed to the people not to flee Maiduguri and neighbouring Jere because of the recent security challenge in the state. He asked them to “remain calm, peaceful and law abiding”, adding that with “the current and on-going prayers across the state for peace, there is no cause for alarm and people should remain where they are and go about their normal business”. The king also appealed to security agencies to be vigilant and perform their duties without unnecessary harassment of the populace, calling on the people not to relent in offering prayers for peace, unity, progress and development of the state and the nation at large. http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/jtf-accuses-borno-elders-of-backing-boko-haram/95051/ |
jason123:^^^^^ Okay, we annexed the MW. What happened when you got it back and defeated Biafra in a war? You stuck to the debacle called Nigeria and continued to exist in it as it crumbled. Well, as things stand now, I am okay with the political equation. I am just saying that since y'all saw no need to divide Nigeria when you had the chance, all agitations in the form of Boko haram for the division of Nigeria must cease now. It must not happen now that an SS man called Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan is the president. Jonathan has put up a recommendation for a 7 years single tenure. He may lead for 7 years, establish his influence and hand over to a South Easterner after 7 years. Then OPC will rise to become like Boko haram. |
jason123:Brace up for the horror of your lives. When Boko Haram finishes with the North (Where westerners are also being killed too), they will embark on a venture to islamize the West to ensure that their Muslim brothers there take their places on the throne . Starting with Kwara state. I hope you co-operate with them then. |
Katsumoto:You talked as if Awolowo was forced to include the Yorubas in the equation. I'm sure if that was what happened, he and his people would not have been happy in the whole unity agenda. Why then did he stick to the equation when the whole equation was visibly doomed. So it was more befitting for them to exist in a Nigerian DEBACLE out of principle, than leave for their own progress? So principle was their reason at the expense of progress? More importantly, why was the North enjoying the DEBACLE? |
[quote author=bk.babe97y link=topic=712395.msg8710227#msg8710227 date=1310572561]Stop arguing like a fo*ol.

jason123:[b] The North were more concerned about the coexistence of Nigeria. Yet it is so easy for them to butcher other Nigerians at a slight provocation. It is a disturbing trend! One would ask what they really want. The North has one of the best traditional political structures, Agricultural wealth and a more homogenous socio-religious system. They would have easily broken off and moved on smoothly. Yet, they preferred to cling to the union and were even ready to die for it. I still cannot understand why. The West on their own should have left gently and realised their wish to build a mordern society. But they preferred to cling on to the Union. People say it was out of their fear of the potential attack from the North. I doubt that. I am now left to wonder why the west decided to stay and continue the useless march. The East suffered from the ignorance and stoopidity of Zik and actually spread into other parts of Nigeria, which is still a problem till today. We wanted to leave, but ended up defeated. Now, we have spread across the country even further, and Boko Haram is having fun slaughtering us at will. I am sure Nigeria would have been better off divided.[/b] |
jason123: Is that not enough evidence to show that the pursuit of a unitary system was futile and the dreams of Azikiwe and Ironsi were completely impossible? We had more regional leaders, why then was there so much fuss about coexisting in a unitary system against all odds? Zik was mocked for fighting so hard to ensure one Nigeria. Ironsi was killed for his plan to create a unitary system, which was seen as a plan to subdue other ethnic groups. Why then is the same unitary system still being chased? |
Katsumoto:[b]From what you said above, THE NORTH NEEDED THE EAST AND WEST MORE. Like I said before, N. Azikiwe was more nationalistic, and did not represent the interest of Igbos. Let us assume that he did represent the wishes of Igbos, how then does your statement above mean that the East held the North and West from going their own ways? Does waiting for the North mean that the North must not leave? Did Zik tell Balewa to stay or die? Awolowo wanted the West to go, why didn't he grab the opportunity when it presented itself? Or was he already in love with Nigeria when the opportunity came? The North felt betrayed by the East after the first coup. Why didn't they simply let their perceived enemies (the east) to go their own way, especially as the East was willing to go and they had revenged with a bloody pogrom? Why did the North prefer to fight than let the East to go for them to live peacefully under sharia and Islamic rule? Why was the North so particular about CATCHING UP? Who did they want to catch up with? Ok, let's say they wanted to catch up with the East, why then did BOKO HARAM come up just when the North was about catching up?[/b] |
Katsumoto:[b]Who forced the North and West to follow the East, going by your analogy. How could the wish of Zik alone have defeated the opposition of Awolowo and Balewa? You mean Zik charmed them or what? Did he bully them. Ok, let us assume that Zik bullied Awo and Balewa into agreeing to exist in one country, why then was it so difficult for Awo and Balewa to actualize their wishes of going towards their own paths when it was obvious that Zik's path was too dangerous and in fact futile? Instead, they preferred to continue to move on that same path without plans of moving to a safer and more progressive path. We are seeing the result today in the North and West. So, if among the three travellers, one of them saw that the journey was actually leading them nowhere, and decides to go back home, the other two should force him to continue to march with them to nowhere, because they have sold their properties? Now, after marching for 50 years to nowhere, one of the men that forced the man to stay also wants out. No be Ogun go strike una? In fact, that is not a good answer to my question. WHAT IS IT THAT MAKES THE NORTH TO TREMBLE EACH TIME THEY HEAR THAT THE EAST WANTS TO LEAVE?[/b] |
Katsumoto: No need for speeches. Is the North scared of being independent? Why was the North eager to stick with the East? Why didn't the North just leave the East to go, instead they went through the stress of carving decrees to make the East to stay? Can't the North survive without the East? Please answer me. |
Katsumoto:Why was the North eager to stick with the East? Why didn't the North just leave the East to go, instead went through the stress of carving decrees? Can't the North survive without the East? Please answer me. |
Katsumoto:[b]It is your assumptions that are rather flawed. Zik never represented the interest of the Igbos. He was selfish and very nationalistic. He was not an ethnic bigot like Awolowo and Balewa. If he was, Igbos would have been way better in Nigeria. Secondly, fighting that particular war would have been much more easier if Awolowo had simply stuck to the plan for him to get away of the union with the west. Negotiation is not an option in such an agreement. He should have left with the west, and the East would have gone, then the whole issue of a united Nigeria would have ended. Instead of doing this, the same Awo that you purported was eager to leave Nigeria embarked on a snail like attitude to ensure that Nigeria remained as one. Why the issue of negotiation when he could have simply left?! Your point is like saying the North and West wanted out at first, but decided to experiment. When it failed, they stuck their ass in the failed experiment to brew more failure. Now they are tired of experimenting, they want out? LOL! Anyway, they succeeded. Why then is Nigeria such a stinking third world country? Why is Boko haram crying? [/b] |
J12:Ironsi; For stopping the first coup, and not even following up with an effective prosecution of the culprits. Gowon; For fighting a war without a single idea of what he is fighting for. Failing to call a SNC to peacefully find out what the different regions of Nigeria wanted. Awolowo; For not sticking to his plan to secede with the west. For playing too much of ethnic politics. Azikiwe; For fighting so hard to create a united Nigeria, and for being too nationalistic. K. Nzeogwu; For leading the first coup and not ensuring that it was successful in the East too (Source of suspicion) Balewa: For playing too much of ethnic politics. |
jason123:[b]Awolowo had an opportunity to stick to the agreement he had with Ojukwu and Biafra when he was released. He was supposed to pull out with Odudwa republic and make the North have no choice but to stick their asses up North. Instead of doing this, he went back and colluded with the North out of fear to fight against Biafra's secession plan. The march towards the west happened after the war had begun and Awolowo was already an enemy of Biafra. Awolowo's fear of fighting Northerners made him to decide not to leave. All he could have done was to fight them with the support of Biafra to ensure that Oduduwa was set free. For God's sake, Lagos had the weapons and amoury. Nnamdi Azikiwe was a nationalist, who unfortunately was as short sighted as his peers i.e. Awolowo and co. He wanted a united Nigeria. It annoys me anytime people use Azikiwe to represent the wishes and interest of Igbos. Azikiwe never represented the interest of Igbos (His ethnic group) for once. He was more after Nigeria than his ethnic group, which ironically was his undoing. This is also the reason why he is being mocked. If he was concerned about his ethnic group, he would have held the interest of Igbos at heart. He never did. Awolowo and Bello/Balewa represented the interest of their own ethnic groups. Let me analyze the situation for you. The best time that the unity of Nigeria would have been cemented was in the 60s, after the independence. This was completely shattered by Awo and Balewa's ethnic concerns and aim to ensure the interest of their ethnic groups over other ethnic groups. As a matter of fact, their selfish ethnic plans destroyed any chances of Nigerians having trust for themselves, co-existing peacefully and leaving together as true Nigerians. Azikiwe was the only one blindly and stoopidly canvassing for a united Nigeria. By the time he became awake, the damage had been seriously done by Awo and co. The political orientation of Azikiwe influenced the Igbos in the 1960s to believe more in one Nigeria than in their ethnic group. Igbos spread fast across the country than any other ethnic group. Instead of this being seen as a welcome development, it bred suspicion, hatred and jealousy in the North and West which was also influenced by the ethnic politics orientation of Awo and Balewa. It did not take long for the hatred to be exhibited in the form of the pogrom against Igbos for the first military coup. That was when it dawned on Igbos that Nigeria is not united and will never be united. Igbos decided to secede, the same North and West fought tooth and nail to hold them back. My question now is, since the North and West carried out the pogrom and believed in the non-existence of one Nigeria, why didn't they allow the Igbos to secede? Why wasn't the war seen as an opportunity to break the country? Why did they have to stay 50 years to understand that Nigeria is not meant to be one? The slogan after the war was, "Nigeria must be one" or "One Nigeria". Why then is the North looking for a way to escape out of Nigeria in the form of Boko Haram? Why are westerners so happy to have ACN as a regional ethnic party than a national party? We have not achieved any meaninful development for 50 years as a country. We have been left behind by our peers. This was all caused by ethnic strife, which had it's genesis from the non nationalistic stance of Awo and Balewa, unlike Azikiwe. Even when they had the chance to achieve their aim of getting a heck out of the union, they shouted "One Nigeria", yet remained in suspicion against one another. Awo and his northern chronies are to blame. I will say it from today till eternity. They destroyed Nigeria. [/b] |
[b]Gowon, Awolowo and co were responsible for the sustenance of the disgrace called Nigeria. They surpported, fought and even killed to ensure that Nigeria remained one. The fact that they could not look into the future to see what this farce of a country would become means that they were too short-sighted to see that their aim of ensuring Unity in Nigeria was more harmful than good. Now, what is happening, the same Northerners are blowing up everywhere. The other time, it was ND militants that were blowing up everywhere because the politicians dominated by the Northerners and Westerners destroyed their lands while stealing their oil and left them very poor and wretched. Unlike them, Ojukwu and others preached about the foolishness of trying to keep Nigeria as one. In the Ahiara declaration, Ojukwu stated everything that is happening now as if he saw it before time. He saw that Nigeria is not workable after the pogrom, where supposed fellow countrymen butchered their supposed brothers with enthusiasm and joy. He knew that Nigeria would never work. What are we seeing today. Even the parts that fought for Nigeria's unity are worse off in Nigeria. Imagine the constant unnecessary deaths, destruction, corruption etc that is killing Nigeria. 70% of Nigerians are poor despite the fact that we have rich and abundant natural resources. Ethnic bigotry is the order of the day. This is what the North and West fought to sustain. If you think it is not, tell me what else they fought for? Revenge? After they got their so called revenge, why didn't they leave the farce of a country? [/b] |
Unlike Ojukwu who was foresighted enough to see that Nigeria was doomed from the onset, Gowon, Awolowo, OBJ etc were just too selfish and short-sighted to even notice it. Imagine what is going on now. The same Northerners that fought to keep Nigeria as one are the ones fighting hard to break away if possible. What a shame. After 50 years of deception and stoopidity. I am sure that Awolowo will be regretting in his grave. Gowon will regret most. Imagine what his state has turned into. Plateau state is now a burial ground with endless strife. Why Nigeria is not moving forward is because these short sighted ex-leaders are being hailed as the wise ones by Nigerians, when in fact they were not wise at all. The wise ones like Ojukwu, Soyinka etc that saw the need and necessity to break Nigeria are insulted for their stance and foresightedness. The past and present avoidable death of hundreds of Nigerians in their own land is on the head of Gowon and co. These deaths would have been avoided if Nigeria was allowed to disintegrate. I am more sure than ever that the component Nigerian regions can make progress if they exist on their own, than existing together. Yes, I support Boko Haram. They should Islamize the North and in fact ensure true sharia in all the Northern states. It is about time to face the truth. How can you ban the drinking of alcohol, yet, you receive the revenue generated from the sales of Alcohol? I pray for Sharia in every Northern states. Break Nigeria up! Break Nigeria up!!!! That is the solution!! |

namfav:[b]What does the cattle rearers contribute that would make Igbo people to be envious of them? Rams or Suya? So, you feel Igbos would leave their means of livelihood to look for a way to frame none entities like Hausa Fulani cattle rearers. You rams really think that Igbos behave like you. If this happened in the north, by now Igbo shops would have been up in flames in Kano, Kaduna, Bornu etc. You fo'ols would have slaughtered innocent kids coming from school and killed women selling their foodstuffs in the market out of jealousy and intention to steal what Igbos sweated for. You are not serious atall. How lower can a fulani stoop than to kill children and women in a land that they were invited to live in (JOS)? What about the fact that they slaughtered Youth corpers that did nothing to them (Post election riots). So, r.aping an Igbo woman in Imo state means stooping low, but doing same in Kano means being right (Case of violated youth corper in Kano)? You are really a hypocrite. I owe you no apologies for that. May your Allah save your soul from death and condemnation to hell. Anuohia! [/b] |
namfav:It is true. They wouldn't have singled out Fulani cattle rearers for nothing. Their smell, their uncircumcised Dikc, their voice, their means of threat (Fulani dagger) and their initial approach definitely will allow the victims to know who attacked them. Anyway, why do you believe that it is not true? |
Shuuuuuuuo! You can only kill cattle rearers when you see them na. None of them was found, what do you expect the community youths to do? Do you expect the youths to behave like the rams that call themselves Almajiris up North and start slaughtering Innocent families from the North because some cattle rearers violated women, killed some of the community's people and ran away before they could be grabbed? Na wa o! Igbos are not like that. Well, if you want to test how much cowardly those people are, show them where some cattle rearers are and watch how they will pamper them with farm cutlasses, kitchen knives and hoes. If nothing else, I know that cattle rearers will be scarce in that community for the next 2 years. |

The dictionary meaning of development is; The act of developing or disclosing that which is unknown; a gradual unfolding process by which anything is developed, as a plan or method, or an image upon a photographic plate; gradual advancement or growth through a series of progressive changes; also, the result of developing, or a developed state. Going by this definition, it will be very correct to state that Peter Obi, the current governor of Anambra state is the most developmental governor in Nigeria. This man is changing Anambra state. He is not trying to perform any sudden magic, but he is realistically developing Anambra state in a gradual manner. Unlike his peers, instead of his talking about him stealing money, they are asking about where he gets the money to carry out so much development in Anambra state. The most surprising part is that he does these transformations without borrowing funds from banks. As a matter of fact, Anambra state is the least owing state in Nigeria. He pays his contractors completely, and puts in place maintenance facilities for infrastructures that he builds. I will talk less, and let you see what I am talking about by yourself. Click on the links below to watch his gradual but efficient and effective transformation of Anambra state. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtCP7cNgsJ0&feature=player_embedded https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xq3zJR69l7A&feature=player_embedded https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hb3X9r_AaLk&feature=related |
[quote author=dem_people link=topic=707994.msg8668038#msg8668038 date=1310026550]Nwanne, I kindly disagree. Everything in Nigeria is politicized. Even building of hospitals is politicized. Where is the second niger bridge? Isn't the undevelopment of this critical infrastructure, have a lot to do with politics? I know u might say we've had people in government before like during Obj's administration but that's not the case. You have to understand that what is happening is sort of an Igbo political renaissance since the end of the war. There exists already, a South East economic summit group. Take a look here: http://southeasteconomicsummitgroup.org/index.html Unfortunately in present day Nigeria, infrastructural development has been politicized so much that it pays to have our kin in various critical government areas to influence decisions advantageous to the SE. One would wonder why they are fighting for the chairmanship position when the position is mostly dormant and at the mercy of the president and his disciples in the party. Imagine how Nwodo was whooped out.[/quote]The SGF alone can push for the completion of the Onitsha-Asaba bridge through direct contact with GEJ. It can be further aided by the funding from the finance ministry and legislative approval through political influence by the two deputy house of assembly presidents. Those positions are all headed by people from SE. How important can the PDP chairman be on ensuring the completion of projects, even though the person can influence political approval of such projects? We already have people that can start the development, let them start and also spread it across the country. We had the PDP chairmanship position in the last few years, what did we achieve with it? Ministerial and national political appointments have more strategic importance for development than a political party's appointment. |
[quote author=anointed_f link=topic=707897.msg8668041#msg8668041 date=1310026560]The guy has the support of faceless retired and serving military pple that have stolen money.

Even the politicians that are sponsoring them for political gains will beg if FG decides to give them their own country. They are not contributing anything, yet they cannot keep quiet. They want to rule at all cost. silly set of Eediots! |
First, let me state categorically that I am from the SE, Imo state specifically. I think the South East politicians should stop fighting around for political positions, and use the ones we have already to ensure the presence of the FG in SE, and stimulate meaningful development. Why are they still fighting for PDP's chairmanship position, when we already have the SGF, Deputy senate and Reps president positions. We also have Igbos heading strategic positions like the military, power, finance etc. That is fair enough. It is time for them to ensure that this advantage is reflected in the South East and Nigeria in general. Let them concentrate on developing the international airport and seaport in the East to boost international trade and IGR for SE states. Let them influence the citing of strategic industries, and attract facilities like loans for SMEs in the South East. This is a rare opportunity for the South East to measure up with other parts of the country in terms of presence of the Federal government in the region. If we don't do anything with it, we'll be doomed. |
I think it will be best for Nigeria to have four capital cities with different functions. Abuja should be the Federal administrative Capital- Executive duties should be handled from there. Lagos should be the Federal Commercial Capital- All commercial ministries and related federal institutions should be there. Portharcourt should be the Federal Judicial Capital-All the federal judicial houses should be there. Enugu should be the Federal Legislative Capital- All the federal houses of assembly should be there. This will be strategic because it will aid the simultaneous presence of the federal government in every section of the country and the different arms of government can better serve as watchdogs against each other considering the distance. Moreover, it will also ensure that the nation will not be locked down if one federal capital is taken out by terrorists or even in a war. |
Contrary to conventional thought, Silence can be a weapon for fostering political oppression and decisive competitive advantage over very strong political forces. There was a story of a drunk fisherman, who happened to be in the good books of LUCK. Though rated as being second class among his political peers, he owns them in the game. He dwells in silence, but somehow maneuvers his way at the expense of his supposed superiors in the game. The society attributes this to his friendship with luck, but how come LUCK is such a partial dude that he is only in favor of a silent drunk fisherman? On the other hand, there is a story of this rascal, who rose to supremacy out of some charismatic attributes and unverifiable political prowess. He is respected, and can be said to be a professor of emotional intelligence, due to the way he controls the emotions of his subjects so much that even his condemnable deeds are considered justifiable. Unlike the fisherman, he is among the creme de la creme in the political game. The problem is that he is considered the antagonist by the emperors and their councils in the game. People don't see him as being on the good books of luck, but recent events presents some valid points to oppose that belief. Recently, the Drunk Fisherman was crowned an emperor above many emperors, while the rascal was able to capture many lands from his enemies in a medieval type of conquest. However, amassing wealth from the spoils of war is not the major concern of the rascal. He wants to reach the Drunk Fisherman's castle and occupy it in order to be completely fulfilled. Considering that the drunk fisherman is always Drunk, hence erratic in his political decisions, one would expect that the Rascal's dream will be achievable without much battle. To think this way would amount to making a hasty conclusion and can lead to the massive defeat of the rascal in a battle with the Drunk Fisherman. The question is, IS THE DRUNK FISHERMAN REALLY DRUNK? His victories against ferocious generals in different political grounds is the reason for this question. The dude called luck will even attest to the fact that in a battle, he joins the bigger and stronger army most times, except nature decides to dance with him. Funny enough, nature is very anti-social. I will illustrate my belief that the Drunk Fisherman is not drunk with the saying that; SILENCE IS VERY NOISY. Enter your room, put off everything that makes physical sound and listen to silence. You will hear how noisy silence can be. I won't be surprised if the drunk fisherman does this all the time. The noise that comes from silence creates a psychological state that ensures that people that think that they hear turns out deaf actually. Most times, they act against the outbursts and shouts that comes from the noise that silence makes. That is the true definition of stupidity. I want to reveal to you that understanding the noise that emanates from silence can make a seeming powerless man a king and a conqueror. That is the secret of the drunk Fisherman. Well, the DRUNK fisherman is actually not drunk. It is people that view him as being drunk that are actually too drunk to notice that he acts according to the outbursts and shouts of silence. Yes, they were too blind, deaf and drunk to notice that this supposed drunk Fisherman manipulated their drunkenness to ensure that has got enough support to conquer the emperors that were a million times stronger than him. They don't even see him with any weapon, yet they know that he has a bigger weapon than his well armed enemies. This explains why a supposed DRUNK FISHERMAN, went from being deputies in different commands to become leaders in those commands without a suspicion of betrayal against his superiors. Silence! That is his weapon. He stabs and pierces his superiors with it, while they lower their shields and swords because they don't see him with his weapon. To vindicate my point, there is enough evidence that showed that the Drunk Fisherman actually used his weapon against the Rascal, yet made the same rascal to fight ferociously for him when the dude called Luck was tiptoeing to the side of his enemies on seeing how ferocious they were. This all happened in the battle for the defeat of the ruling emperors; the same victory that the rascal also craved for. Why did the Rascal fight for the drunk fisherman to make him the emperor, when he could have fought to become same? It is this weapon called Silence. It is very deadly. I admire both the Drunk Fisherman and the Rascal, but if you ask me whose weapon I prefer, I definitely will choose the one that the Drunk fisherman uses. |
