TheUmbra:


Since your anencephaly is severe you forgot you quoted me first.

Your frustration has only just begun. Old unproductive dry bone!

Shroud:
dumb retárd. How many times will you repeat that lame line? No wonder you can only edit a scathing remark back when you are completely shellacked.

Shroud's mother's continues use of that cockroach-bitten pants is hindering your mental health

Shroud:
See painment

Old, balding waste of human flesh with grey hair on his Shroud's scrotum is editing posts as a form of attack.

Your Shroud's mother must have conceived you him during her menopause to make you him a shameless, socially mal-adapted idiot.

The moniker you called as a witness has rejected you Shroud like a leprosy sufferer. Aren't you ashamed? He is calling on the mods to restrain you from mentioning him with your epileptic drool

Lonely bastard

TheUmbra:
It took you forever to respond like it took the first locomotive train to make a complete voyage. That's how intellectually inept you are. Like the first generation train struggled through the hilly terrain delivering its cargoes at odd hours, so you slugged out a weak response dead of the night, old nocturnal Wizard!

While your being on the wrong side of forty with congenital brain defects can be understandably depressing, it is completely unacceptable of you to unsettle this forum with all the midlife crisis rocking your uninspiring and unproductive life.

Come on, grandpa, that's not the way to bring spark into your drabby existence. Check with a mental therapist for a start. And maybe, just maybe they can find a symmetrical intellect for your old bones.

Dreary Old Fool!

NothingDoMe:
Is not prophecy. It is clear indications. That's what most of you who celebrate the declaration don't understand. You use it to take cheap shots.

Let's analyze it without any proactive input from the FG:

Some igbos will still be there at that time. The northern youths will do their usual forceful thing. Crisis will break out of the north. Northerners in the south east will enter flight mode. Crisis will be worsened by the media and all aggressive groups. Military will be deployed and will normally show some partisan. SS Militants will begin their campaign. The matter will then calm down with some slight skirmishes here and there. Silent relocation will be ongoing. Hate will be on the highest ever in the history of Nigeria. International bodies will step in. Referendum will be called.

NothingDoMe:
Hope you understand that if that October 1st threat is carried out, Nigeria will disintegrate?

agbangam:
Guy stop twisting facts, Muritalas coup was bloodless and he sacked his fellow Northern Man, Dimka killed his own fellow Northerner but our igbo brothers/soldiers wiped out important leaders from another section of d country without touching theirs. I guess u ve a conscience....

Dumaknesset:
Awolowo Coup, this is the funniest things ever. Okay create a thread for it and let see you go on self destruct on the remainder of your self esteem . Awo coup!, will continue to laff all day.

rosebowl01:
Wanna compare the ethnicity of the officers and politicians that were killed, and the ones that "miraculously" escaped?
Can you tell us the ethnicity of the people that executed these non-ibo officers?

You are correct, it's not ibo coup, it is marijuana coup.

NtoAkwaIbom:
You are not asking wot Biafra will be like, With Miscreants for leaders, no roadmap, no agenda

NtoAkwaIbom:
You hv not asked hw Ur Biafra will be like with Evans and fellow kidnappers building mansions everywhere.

igbodefender:
You are defending the undefendable. Was there a carpet crossing from Zik's team to Awo's team or not?

Probz:
Wow Probz you're a nutter. I'm picturing Probz as some creepy agidi nwoke behind the screen.

Probz:
At least I Probz didn't did have sex with my own sister.

Probz:
Come roast with original comebacks and actual words.

Probz:
I hear Yaba's got a spare bed waiting for you Probz.

Probz:
Weird how it's laudate Probz of all people who will label someone else as psychoneurotic. Onye ala.

TheUmbra:
You still tarry when all that's left here is the rubble of your broken facade.

A spineless fratermathy-apologist who lacks the guts to stand up for his twisted ideology but hid behind his bigoted master with nothing tangible to offer.

And they said you've been on this forum for the past 11 years with no parallel, substansive intellectual growth!

Phew!

Shroud:
The praise i have been receiving obviously hurts you more than my diatribes You're still bleeding from the cuts! I never knew one single person is so hated in Nairaland. You Shroud have become the byword for nuisance in this forum.

A man who had become a Nairalander for the past 11 years and is still having the cognition of a 7 year old with mental epilepsia.

Truly, it is said that one's intelligence and wisdom is never reflected by the amount of time he spends on earth.

An old fool like you throwing the insults of young adults back at them in a fit of feverish delirium and you think there's nothing congenitally wrong with your psychological evolution?

Shroud is, You're an old unproductive member of society strutting the internet for the past eleven years looking for any semblance of meaning to your wasted life.

You Shroud should be chopped down into bits like meat in an open abattoir and your corpse used as manure for Nigeria's effort at growing local rice. Idiot.

Tribalistic shmuck from a family of a long, unbroken line of primal legacy no greater or lesser than hamadryas baboons.

If I could time-travel, I will go back in time when your libertine father was fücking that unhinged drab you call a mother and make sure the drunkard offloaded his unhealthy semen on the dirty mat they use as bed to spare the rest of humanity the cuss of your birth.

All the offspring born out of your mother's diseased-overtaken womb should be put to violent death to keep the human race pure or compelled to become human laboratory experiment to be used as guinea pigs for primatology.

Foolish bastard. I have never received so much extolment for word-knifing anyone here as much as I have received after beheading you and leaving your corpse exposed to the elements.

Inferior bastard.

Mentally mutated son of a low-breed!

ScotsReferendum:
That is why I am telling some bloody and hopeless Afonjas with substandard education Awolowo provided for them that the Igbos are the ones having the true colour.

Many and not all Igbos are fair skin like Sarah.

Kanu, Pat Utomi, Bianca, etc are fair skin like Sarah.

The dark skin Igbos are also Jews with African blood

Don't forget Abraham married Keturah a cushite

Moses married a Cushite

During the slave days, some Jews married dark skin women

Even one of King Solomon's lover complained she was hated because of her dark skin. This tell us that some Jews married dark skin women

The true Jewish colour is neither black nor white but fair(yellowish) and the dark skin Jews are not pure black because of that mixture of yellowish + black

Look at Yoruba, Hausa and Ghanaian skin color and you will agree with me that it is very black like charcoal unlike that of the Igbos

greenmonk guestlander omoluabi16 laudate MasterKim

Nonaira1:
Omg Shroud is a beast, see how he beat the living sh1t out of that tribalist, mentally deranged neatherthal laudate Nonaira1 to the ground.

Nigga standing ovation.
Standing ovation!!!!!!
From hence forth whenever I see that old grandpa pa monkey, I'm call you to do him right. You made him your bitch right here and your bitch he'll forever.
That old grandpa page with no life deserves every insults, belittle, etc he gets on this page from everyone.
He's worse than a pig.
Btw: thanks for letting us know he's an incestuous animal. I feel sorry for his sister that he very likely rapes and brainwashed her into thinking it's consental.

Origamist:
Don't get me wrong.I don't think it was an an Igbo coup.That label's a result of the inability of some of the coupists to dispatch the Eastern leaders like they did to those of the North and the West.

Here again is one of the reasons why your claim does not add up.
There's no way Aguiyi Ironsi could have survived a coup meant to free Awolowo from prison since he was not in cahoots with the plotters.
That would have been a very costly mistake.Nothing would have been smoother than to get rid of him for Ogundipe(a Yoruba like Awolowo) to take over.But he survived,and he was Igbo like the leaders who were spare.
One starts to wonder how Awolowo will plan a coup and leave such key figures from the East out of his hitlist.

The treason and corruption charges were meant to discredit Awolowo. While I don't think he was infallible,the circumstances that led it shows it was all an attempt to weaken his influence in the West.

After the skirmish in the Western House Adegbenro's request for police presence fell on deaf ears, a state of emergency was declared. Zik signed the Emergency Regulation Act. Majekodunmi was appointed as the Administrator. A restriction order was placed on Awolowo and some others. The Coker Commission was set up to investigate him. Can't you see how these events are closely knitted together?
Is this fair to you?
They used the crack in the AG to push forward all those allegations.

You said they wanted to make him President. A gang of coupists with such an aim will make no bones about wiping out the Eastern leaders too.
The Leaders of the North and West shouldn't have been the only ones marked,going by your claim.

There's no antecedent.
What you have is a weak excuse for why he was jailed.

seanet01:
Imagine. You labelled Awolowo a tribalist, how will he now plan a coup with yeebos?

SIRTee15:
Pls ignore that guy called pazienza.....
His obsession with fajuyi is appalling n outright ridiculous.....
He's been parroting that nonsense up n down nairaland despite glaring contrary evidence.....
Neutral eyewitness account including ironsi son clearly stated what happened that night.....
Danjuma clearly said they came for ironsi and not fajuyi....
David ejoor even said in this interview that fajuyi was a collateral damage......
As for the nonsense about awolowo, ask him why fajuyi n ironsi didn't release him from jail when they assumed power.....
Since according to him, fajuyi received directive from awolowo.....

seanet01:
Patinza is a liar and the worst part is he is not even good at it

tomakint:
Ok keep at it, get busy defending I will be watching you! I have made my point clear.

tomakint:
Insult? No I only called you out! Yea you are a bigot at least judging from your intentions of flying the "Igbo Coup Plotter Kite" I am not a revisionist everyone is aware that Captain Emmanuel Nwobosi led the troop that killed Chief S.L Akintola what I am check mating is your "The Igbo Coup Plotters" coloration you are giving it. Gerrit?

Dumaknesset:
David Ejoor is not an afonja now. This is quite revealing.

tomakint:
Another bigot spotted, educate the house what makes it an Igbo coup when Tom Kpera, a Tivi man was involved and some officers of Northern extraction and even few Yoruba officers knew about it......even Kaduna Nzeogwu was not an Igbo as you think.

The Day Ladoke Akintola Was Killed - An excerpt from British secret files on Nigeria’s first bloody coup of Saturday January 15 1966.

Of all the regions in the country and at the federal level, the Western Region was the only government with a deputy premier. When Captain Emmanuel Nwobosi’s convoy arrived at the front of Fani-Kayode’s residence at Iyaganku GRA,Ibadan, they were shocked at the number of armed thugs that were present between the hundred metre road main gate and the main residential building.

The thugs quickly ran way after being awoken by a slowly moving convoy of 16 gunners, 2 lance bombardiers, 2 sergeants, 1 battery quartermaster sergeant, 1 second lieutenant, 1 trooper and 1 captain in two 3 tonners and a Land Rover.....

Nwobosi and his gunners were surprised to see the feared embodiment of the legendary Fani Power shuddering. Nwobosi, 23 addressed the 44-year-old deputy premier: “You have wasted a lot of time – we could have shot you.”

They tied him with rifle slings in front of his wife and 3 children and tossed him in the 3 tonner. His wife picked up the phone and called the Premier, Samuel Ladoke Akintola to report the arrest. Akintola tried to calm her down and assured her that he would get him released as soon as possible.

It never occurred to him the soldiers could be coming for him too, until he heard the convoy and saw the headlamps. He grabbed his gun and gathered ammunition. That night of nights, of all those fell by bullets all over the country, Akintola was the only one who died the death of a true warrior.

He was not interested in the Akintola-you-are-under-arrest noises he was hearing from outside. He cocked his Sub Machine Gun and began to blaze furiously as Nwobosi and his men tried to open his bedroom door.

Several times from the 3 Tonner, Fani-Kayode called out to Akintola to cease firing; that the soldiers only came to take him to Lagos. Instead, Akintola continued to blaze his gun at Nwobosi’s men even though he never successfully hit anyone. They had fled the house and ducked behind the garden shrubs.

Justice Kayode Eso who was a neighbour described the relentless shooting, as sounding like the crackle of rapid bush bushing. Akintola then ran out of ammo, but Nwobosi and his men did not know this, they thought he was reloading and waiting for them. After a while, Aare Akintola held out a white handkerchief of surrender, and proceeded to his balcony with his hands up.

Nwobosi and his men proceeded to end him. When Akintola’s wife saw his lifeless body surrounded by empty casings drenched in blood, she screamed. In less than three months, she had lost her husband and first child, Modele Odunjo to the Western region crisis . http://www.opinions.ng/day-ladoke-akintola-killed/

tomakint:
How about his greed and rapacious attitude coupled with his betrayal tendencies ruined him.......don't you think that will be more appropriate? Don't involve the innocent Igbos now my tribalistic friend it is written in the script before you how he met his death and all you need is read and be wise.

Guestlander:
Basically if you are Igbo and you look like Obi Ezekwesili, then you are fake?

Rossikki:
This is not an ethnic duel but a historical excursion.

August 15, 2016 - Ajaokuta: Last chance for targeted sale

NIGERIA got another chance last week to revitalise its steel industry when it re-possessed the Ajaokuta Steel Complex after protracted negotiations with the concessionaire. With arguably sub-Saharan Africa’s largest integrated steel production facility back in its hands, the Federal Government is once again well-placed to kick-start a thriving industrial revolution that has been 40 years in abeyance. This administration should avoid the mistakes of the past and opt for a guided and urgent privatisation.

While credit should go to the Minister of Solid Minerals Development, Kayode Fayemi, who has restored purposefulness to the mining and steel sectors, there is little to cheer in the chequered story of steel in Nigeria. The agreement retrieved Ajaokuta from Global Steel Holdings Limited, the concessionaire that also runs Delta Steel Company Limited, Ovwian-Aladja. The pact, however, cedes the Nigerian Iron Ore Mining Company to Global Steel. Hopefully, should efforts to restart NIOMCO’s plants succeed, its ore would be available as raw materials for both the DSC and Ajaokuta.

Fayemi cannot afford to fail; he and President Muhammadu Buhari should pull out all the stops to ensure the success of the Road Map for the development of the steel and solid minerals sectors that the minister is driving.

The dream of thriving mining and steel sectors in Nigeria was conceived in the mid-1970s. The plan envisaged the establishment of NIOMCO, Ajaokuta, Delta Steel, and three rolling mills located in Jos, Osogbo and Katsina. The six state-owned companies were to be the pivot of an industrial take-off that would create hundreds of thousands of jobs, stimulate the local automobile industry, achieve self-sufficiency in steel and make Nigeria a regional hub for mining and allied industries.

But the dream was derailed almost from the scratch. Work started in Ajaokuta in 1979 and over $10 billion is estimated to have been spent on it so far. Its mandate to produce five million metric tonnes of steel per year has failed to materialise despite reaching 98 per cent completion. Its counterparts in Jos, Katsina and Osogbo have also failed, and have since been sold. Successive Nigerian governments have sabotaged the dream through policy somersaults, indifference and unbridled corruption.

First, they failed to provide external infrastructure such as access roads, railway tracks and power infrastructure as well as dredging a part of the River Niger to provide access for transporting some products and raw materials. They also failed to revive the coal mines and spur ancillary mining activities. Yet, these were integral to the master plan. Indeed, the current Administrator of the complex, Isah Onobere, reminded a team from the Kogi State Government in March that, unlike other steel projects in China and Europe, which were built in developed townships with advanced infrastructure already in place, Ajaokuta is a Greenfield project, requiring a huge investment on non-core steel making facilities.

This government should break the jinx that has kept Ajaokuta uncompleted for decades and unload it unto a first rate global brand name in steel production. It should ensure that Global Steel fulfils its part of the agreement to produce and supply iron ore to the DSC and Ajaokuta. There should be no more room for excuses.

Global Steel, which first won the concession to reactivate Ajaokuta in 2004, had the contract revoked in 2007 by the government for its failure to perform. But the firm insisted that it was unable to do much because the Nigerian government failed to fulfil its own side of the deal, such as providing gas supply, rail and road links without which the plant could not be fully put to use.

We restate our preference for a guided privatisation of Ajaokuta: an outright and urgent sale of majority equity to a reputable foreign steel producer, not an emergency consortium formed by Nigerian politicians, officials and their business accomplices. There is no Nigerian company today that has the knowledge, funds or technical know-how to run a steel plant of the magnitude of Ajaokuta. Unlike its corrupt predecessors, the Buhari administration should never lose sight of the overall objectives of privatisation. These are job creation, industrialisation, attraction of foreign direct investment, technology acquisition, export diversification and revenue generation.

Ajaokuta is said to be able to provide 75,000 direct jobs and one million indirect jobs in mining iron ore, coal, carbonates and refractories. Unlike the cronyism-guided power sector privatisation that has delivered darkness, debts and very meagre investment, Tiajpromexport, the Ukrainian firm that built the complex, says it is ready to invest $1 billion in it and has made proposals to the Federal Government.

Fayemi should familiarise himself with the global steel industry, which is currently wracked by excess capacity before choosing an investor. He and the Bureau of Public Enterprises should aim primarily at achieving self-sufficiency and saving the country the $4.5 billion Fayemi says it spent annually on importing steel products. Nigeria is perhaps the only country seeking to build an automobile industry without a viable domestic steel industry.

With global production exceeding demand since the global meltdown in 2008/09, attracting the right investor whose interests will dovetail with Nigeria’s, will tax the ingenuity of our officials. But the critical difference will be patriotism: privatisation has been given a bad name here because corruption and rent-taking marred previous sales of state assets. Buhari should drop the idea of concessioning; it has never worked well in Nigeria. Just sell to the right investor and liberalise the operating environment.

We expect a transparent guided sale from this government, given Buhari’s reputation for integrity, Fayemi’s own track record and the principled stance of Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo, who is the statutory chairman of the National Council on Privatisation that has oversight over the discredited BPE.

Should this government get it wrong again, it could sound the death knell of our steel and mining dream.
