Mynd44: False Information Rule 8

Jabioro:
The pathetic members of IPOB have know idea of history but good at propaganda..

IPOB will be the first to chew out Nnamdi Azikiwe for his blind one-Nigeria stance that has landed us in this mess. Do not stay ignorant, read widely and understand the enemy u hate so you're sure of why you're hating.

bakynes:
The truth is that you can't compare the Soviet Union that splitted into several countries because they were very big,Nigeria is not as big as the Soviet Union.

Best bet is Regionalism and resource control or North and South Nigeria go their separate ways and I don't know if Yorubas and Igbos will see eye to eye on that.

At least, I know the entire South are religious tolerant and literate enough to live together.

If you balkanize Nigeria into 3 or more separate countries the power we wield today we not be there anymore. We will end up like small countries in Africa.

Exactly what have u got to show for the so-called power you wield? Are Nigerians not being deported daily from other African countries?

Na wa o! Una no dey tire? You people are the first to point out how 'unproductive and even parasitic' Igbos and their kin are; they have decided to pull out of their 'longsuffering hosts' and question their representatives/leaders on their own terms in Biafra; we don't see the need to mete out our brand of justice in this current arrangement-How is that a problem?

Why are these accommodation presidents so bothered?

Shebi na PDP n Jonathan cause ds one? Corruption fighters oya o! Oseti go!

victorDanladi:
...you can see his fellow hypocrites congratulating him as if they are not intelligent enough to decipher his hypocrisy.Hypocrites every where.

Did u call him hypocrite when he 'converted' in d name of fulfilling a vow? I no do again na by force?

vargasvictory:

princepeter566:
navy now attacking police abi ? but one thing they should know is that the whole population of naval officers in Nigeria is not up to the population of police officers in calaber state . if not for the mercy of God and democracy who is navy to attack police only one band of mopol to s enough to impact senses into them

Cross River State...Calabar is the capital

Blue3k:
These guys sound like state sponsored gang members. Who the commanding officers are need to be replaced. There's too much indiscipline with these guys. I wonder what's the criteria for hiring these guys.

A simple traffic stop that gets you a mere ticket. You turn it into huge ordeal. Now these guys face charges of assault, arson, destruction of government property, traffic violation etc.

Face what charges? Where? Ticket kwa? Are we talking about the same country

The culture of waste!

I won't even bother with how insensitive we've become to deaths and killings by whatever means. Now you have law enforcement agents of the Federal government deliberately tearing themselves apart, destroying federal government property and stopping yet another federal agency from putting out the fire. The community that station serves if only symbolically is now laid bare; unscrupulous characters will now confidently, hitherto furtively, move in for the kill because no police is even around never mind that even if there were there'd be no guarantee.

That's how low this shïthole has sunk! What will happen? NOTHING! No accountability, no sense of responsibility or liability, no sanction or punishment, just unbridled impunity!

And that is how the whole 'wondrous probe' of the century will be thrown into the bin to preserve the 'untouchables'... When people with complete brains were screaming, 15million imbeciles said they must 'fight and eat' corruption. Now, who is probing who?
Dropshot, Passingshot, omenkalives, doctokwus,beremx, sarrki and all other supporters of the APC general...come and see ultimate shame! Na all dis on be achievement of 2 years (2015-2017)

Apostle Nuhu Kure of Throneroom Ministry Kafanchan spoke out years back in a gathering calling for repentance for shedding innocent blood during the war, a few others have also toed the same line. do you know that the then King of Jos- Rwang Pam lost his life for speaking in favour of igbos and the role he played in safeguarding the igbos. The problem is that those carrying the scare of the war are not victims of the war and are not willing to listen

I respect Apostle Kure but his action does not represent national contrition and reparation. He did that as a Christian probably as led by the Lord. Gowon is alive, same with Obasanjo, Buhari and Babangida. Have they expressed remorse or regret for their evil roles? Buhari affirms that he will do the same if the sane circumstances arise and that has been manifestly clear in the conduct of the armed forces against the Igbos even without provocation.

No...When forgiveness is actually sought we will know and then that national discourse will be opened, addressed and put to rest with the better South still choosing to be separate and independent.

Okoroawusa:
bro,is it a matter of igbo controlled areas or of the fact that ph is biafra's igweocha n everyone shld be at home?
una no serious.

Eleme is not in Ph. Eleme is a local government in Rivers state different from PHALGA.

abimbolayekeen:
Yoruba will not suffer anything, if not because of Awo quick intervention, Nigeria will not be united as it is today. Though, i am not oppose igbo secession because they have there own right.

If u aren't opposed to it then why are u harping in some nonexistent or at best, farcial unity?

Has there been any effort to seek forgiveness and it wasn't granted? Have d perpetrators of such evil who live till date among u as heroes ever owned up to their wrongdoing? Forgiveness doesn't just happen, there must be contrition so where is it?

slivertongue:
with due respect i dont know how old you are and how many books on the war you have read and how far you have travelled around Nigeria.
but leaving the above i truly want you to understand that the past is lost forever you cant bring it back but can learn from it to project the future.

yes! Awo made the above statement but it is not enough to label all yorubas as being guilty.
forgiveness is a mark of greatness

Agumbaa:
You are losing it, enough sensitization was done.

Leave these people o! A lot of them are bloodthirsty witches n wizards looking for blood to drink n boast with only be say fear no gree dem wear uniform den carry gun to use show themselves. There is a clear instruction that everyone will be indoors yet they seem incapable of comprehending that statement...

APCsupporter:
why dont you tell us what is wrong with the point there? you people are full of hate

And I see how u overflow with love...how sweet!

Cooly100:
You don't have any brain..in order words you are intellectually deficient....See why?

If Igbos recall every person home, will that stop the federal government to continue their business as usual...like deciding cut off marks in federal schools, state which region to get federal investments like rail and road and other infrastructure, etc,etc....So you see why your suggestion is very childish...

Why did u try to explain kwanu? U should have left him to continue playing possum and forming innocence. Wicked souls that want to reap where they did not sow...

ElsonMorali:
It's not both ways. A simple perusal of the posts on this forum will reveal that much. You guys simply love to hate. Even without this forum one can feel the air of hate around you guys.

Where I disagree with the op is the thinking that his Igbo friends offline are more tolerant.

Trust me, they are the same ones here spewing such hate. They hide under the cover of anonymity and perpetrate their evil.

The ones I know offline tell me to my face while apologizing, like " ...anyway all Yorubas are backstabbers so I'm not surprised... no offence...!

How is that not offensive?

Do u know of one Alcatraz005 on this forum? Search him out and read up on his love for the Igbos. It might she'd some light for u on why I said ur post, particularly that last part, was the selfish punchline I was waiting for and that y'all never disappoint.

ashjay001:
U came on his article, labelled it dog crap, n u dare complain of being identified as intellectually inept?!

Is that right? U mean he can't see the reason it's dog-crap? Then d situation is worse than I thought!

fulanimafia:
Which is? That you generate less than everyone else and actually have no excess to share as you erroneously, contemptuously and hilariously claimed? That point is clear as day in black and white.

The point is, I was speaking of in a properly structured country with regional rather than central control of resources and majority of economic activity. In the current system there really can't be much more than is seen notwithstanding possible inaccuracies. I said we prefer...that is what should be and not what is.

fulanimafia:
Making which food and paying which excess to who ? Have you seen the latest IGR figures for the 5 SE states at all?

www.nairaland.com/attachments/5348488_image_jpeg9f360c5ab7736510df54c882e9dbf188

You generate less revenue internally than any other region so which excess are you contributing to who? Kaduna and Kano alone generated more revenue than the entire SE combined so how can a parasite relying of FG allocation to function make such a baseless and audacious statement? Y'all like to delude yourselves though .

U conveniently miss the point as usual. But then that's ur 'interest' at play...

fulanimafia:
Junaid is playing a brand of politics native to us Northerners but almost impossible to understand by others until you're smacked with the result in the face. So the completely refurbished Kaduna-Abuja expressway is in Cambodia? The Sokoto-Zaria expressway is in Mars? The North already has the most impressive road network in the country but Junaidu is playing on the ignorance of the south who are clearly gobbling it up like Christmas turkey.

Yes politics is and always has been about competing interests.

Ah! That's the reason we will continue to so that which is native to us then...steer completely clear and create our own space for our benefit since we don't do the politics of snuffing the lives out of others while already having excess...

ashjay001:
It is clear to u, n probably to some others. He might get u, but not want to jump d gun.

He asked u to be more expansive. As a supposed intellectual, u should always be ready to explain ur positions.

Refusal to do so, is one of d bane of our higher institutions. Lecturers refuse to breakdown positions to their students, and those students have been frightened off asking their supposedly stupid questions to get a better understanding of d subject matter.

In that case, he probably needed the lesson in humility more than u felt I did cos ds quote below is so not how to ask for clarification!

clevadani:
If you can't point out what's wrong with the suggestion, then I must say you're intellectually inept

You don't call your 'lecturer' names like 'intellectually inept' and expect an answer do you?

He will drive u out of the class and even fail u in his course! Maybe the mods should have been invited to weigh in at the initial point don't u think so? Humility kwa! O! I don see!

fulanimafia:
Kindly PM me your address in Utopia and I'll probably drop by for a glass of frozen smoke. Politics is not a tea-party and the sooner you and the typically politically illiterate average ibo man understands this the better for you lot. The winners interests come before the loser's regardless and that's why its an intensely fought battle with billions sunk in. It must be really hard coming to terms with reality innit? Pele!

Oh dear Lord! Intensely fought battle for what?
This is why I initially didn't want to engage u...this so-called reality shouldn't be and this has absolutely nothing to do with utopia. It's basic, humane existence and survival but apparently, it's in ur interest for others to be wiped out that u may live...how sad.

Kathmandu:
What kind of country are we really living in?


Practice true federalism and all these nonsense cries will stop

Exactly! Someone was busy telling me politics is a game of interests, what interests exactly?

ashjay001:
@op, those ur friends u believe are reasonable, u need to meet them in their element. Some ipob members here, nl, have yoruba clients, close neighbours, best friends, spouse or even in-laws! But, they come here n sprout obscenities! Things that they'll be ashamed of if/when it leaks!

I had a supposedly best friend, quite close. I had to cut him off, cos during a biafran discussion. I inquired of him; what will he do if he had to fight for biafra n he met me on d war front, for d nigerian side. The man was just stammering. I realised all our supposed sacrifices for each other was just superficial.
Just be careful, whom u trust.

Methinks if u pose a threat to his life n that of his family in the name of fighting for what y'all believe in while u try to kill him for his own beliefs n choices, then you're fair game.

ashjay001:
He asked u to point out where he erred, and instead of doing that, u went into ABC!?

If u cant explain ur position, then keep mum/ignore/waka pass etc

It is clear! If he cannot understand should I turn to his brain in the name of humility?

@fulanimafia:

Do you see what I've been trying to tell you? Is this the kind of politics of interest you mean? Isn't this too primordial and irritating? Should the FG be the reason roads aren't built as claimed Junaid and that becomes a political consideration? You see he's all about the SW getting it better than the North but u and I know how much had been funnelled to the same North so far, what has happened?

This is the same winner-takes-all mentality I was talking of in the other thread..how about the SE/SS that have been given the short end of the stick just cos they didn't invest in Buhari's election according to our Ngige? Should that be the case for basic means of survival like these? Is that the interest?

This is just terrible! People just kill for sport and use fellow humans for target practice!

ashjay001:
Just leave him be. He's probably one of them, always spoiling for a fight! Dont have any bone of humility in them, must always claim some form of superiority! Yet, when u analyse all their noise, its empty!

How does humility feature here? Do u know the meaning of that word?

It is a game of interests but not to the detriment of the other. There's a reason there are laws and they aren't meant to be bent in every direction. Basics like socio-economic development must never be compromised. The annoying part of all this is that substantial actions cannot be taken without the approval or at least buy-in if the FG and that's the major reason for the demand for restructuring and devolution of power from the centre.

Nigeria is still a developing country. I can understand places like UK, France, Canada etc doing the left n right wing thingies because the fundamentals are in place! Those are working societies that even the most inept of presidents will be stopped in their tracks by an effective system. How can ur interested supersede mine in terms of health, education, security, employment for instance?
Do you honestly think ur region or supporters of the ruling party should have these basics first or better than others? I think NOT!

So my point is, the continued celebration of 'na my man win' will only continue to breed underdevelopment and resentment because we see the resources being wasted just because it's their turn so we scheme to get our turn and do same...that's evil! Bridges n roads n electricity supply shouldn't be political points but here we are...so we must get past that! That's why I kept saying u needed to get past APC n PDP, that is not the average Igbo man's problem.

fulanimafia:
Politics is all about interests; that's why you have right and left wing parties who further their agenda whenever they gain power. Are you suggesting that after winning an election your interests should be on the front burner not mine? You think it was in my interest for Jonathan to have given criminal militants like Tompolo contracts to purchase warships for my country? But it happened didn't it?

If everyone was entitled to 'equal' treatment regardless of political leaning, then what is the point of competing fiercely for political power? Wouldn't everyone just relax and save their resources knowing ANYONE who gets power will satisfy EVERYONE'S interests equally? Think.

The crux of the matter is that equality in partisan politics is an ideal and never a reality. My interests will always come before yours...kapish?
