don't mind me jare, next time I ll delay alittle bit! Come to think of it, so yeeboos can actually hold a yoruba so in such high esteem?

Understand the difference between "merged" and " bought out". UBA bought out Standard Trust and Continental when they merged. Diamond bought out Lion Bank, e.t.c . Meaning, the buyer not merger has sole right to retain its board of directors, brand and culture as in the case of Diamond and UBA. So what the previous guy was saying is spot on..no Biafran run banks has liquidated or forced to merge due to insolvency. Mostly its yoruba run banks that get run down or merging to save face. The best banks in Nigeria today remains Diamond, Zenth and Fidelity...all Biafran run. Now understand?

The African Continental Bank popularly known as ACB was one of the big three indigenous banks in Nigeria during the 1950s to early 1980s. It survived the banking crisis of the 1950s and emerged out of a political crisis in the same decade to become by 1978, a major indigenous bank with up to 50 branches and 150 million naira in deposits. After the creation of new states in 1976, the bank became owned by the states of Eastern Nigeria. The bank became distressed in 1991 and was taken over by the Central Bank of Nigeria in 1994 for restructuring and resale. In 2000, a consortium comprised of Diamond Bank, Hallmark Bank and Citizens Bank decided to revive the distressed bank. The new bank commenced operations in 2002 and was chaired by Green Nwankwo. In 2005, it merged with other banks to become Spring Bank. http://nigerianwiki.com/wiki/African_Continental_Bank

Spring Bank which was formed in December 2005 by the merger of six (6) Nigerian financial institutions, namely: ACB International Bank Plc, Citizens International Bank Plc, Fountain Trust Bank Plc, Guardian Express Bank Plc, Omega Bank Plc, Trans International Bank Plc.
In 2009, following an industry-wide audit of all commercial banks in the country, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), the banking regulator in the country, found nine commercial banks under-capitalized and badly managed. Spring Bank was one of the troubled banks. The CBN intervened by injecting new capital to maintain solvency and appointing new management. On 5 August 2011 the CBN revoked the banking license of Spring Bank.

Enterprise Bank was formed in August 2011 by taking over the assets and some of the liabilities of the now defunct Spring Bank, whose commercial banking license was revoked. EBL was issued a commercial banking license on 5 August 2011. As of January 2012, the assets of Enterprise Bank Limited are 100% owned by Asset Management Company of Nigeria (AMCON), an arm of the Federal Government of Nigeria. In July 2012, the Federal High Court of Nigeria, in Lagos ordered that the affairs of the defunct Spring Bank Plc be wound up, since its license had been revoked. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spring_Bank

Under his laudate account this pathethic monkey illiterate will claim "I'm not tribalist. I'm not yoloba.". Just watch what the f00l wrote under his real ID.

More reason I support the complete destruction of that zoo called Niggeria. If I can find away to actual send money not just to ipob but to boko haram, I'll f2king do so in a heartbeat. Isis should hurry up already and invade that disgraceful nation and wipe you nigg@s off the face of the earth.

Each and EVERYONE of una, you especially, deserve death and living in that zoo nation I know for sure your life is limited and you death is near. Worthless, buff00n

THE CONCEPTION OF CHUKWU- “THE GREAT GOD” IN HIS DIFFERENT ROLES

In the Igbo ontology, the omnipotent being is also conceived of in His different roles. As in his causative role, He is called Chineke, meaning the God who creates or the God of creation. In Ugbene-Ajima linguistic dialect, a town among the Igbo tribe....

Almighty God is generally addressed as Ezechitoke Abiama, or Eze-chita-okike Abiama,which is in other words, could be Eze Chukwu Okike Abiama, meaning, the King, God Almighty, — king of the creating phenomenon, who causes all by Himself. Chukwu and Chineke is one and the same God, called Chukwu when designating roles and Chineke when seen as the creator. The mightiness of Chukwu is seen in the wonders of creation.Thus, Chukwu is seen in opus Dei ad extra in (His creation) as the subsistent Being, Being-itself. Yet He is Chukwu distinguished from other smaller deities.[Emmanuel M. P. Edeh, Towards an Igbo Metaphysics (Chicago: Loyola University Press, 1985), 128-133. 13] http://www.slideshare.net/chichieze/the-concept-of-eze-chukwu-okike-abiama-in-ugbeneajima

Kizyte:
Heeee! I was just a year old, how would I have known?

stagger:
My university school fees then was 45 bucks. Accommodation N90 and we were 2 in a room. I used to eat gari with soup and 2 pieces of meat with 10 bucks, & that was big boys ration then. When guys don dey broke, there was always a nearby joint to my hostel where we ate yam and beans without for 3 bucks as in THREE NAIRA.

So guy, 2,000 could feed me in school then for 200 days or about 2 academic sessions at 16 weeks per session. That money was huge then.

Petrol then was 42 kobo per litre under IBB. A crate of coke then was N5.50. A cow leg was N150 (now 40,000).

2k them no be beans ooo!

Dnacode:
I understand who Chukwu Okike is(I.e God the creator) but who is Chukwu Okike Abiama bikonu?
Where did the name Abiama enter Gods name from?
A quick Google check showed that it was Aro-chukwu diety. Pls is this true?

theDEVILisHERE:
The war resulted from Biafrans decision to defend themselves from invading enemies

Biafrans made their own decision during the war
Ojuckwu as much as he was the leader was still bounded by the decision of biafrans

Every action that biafrans took during the war
was a Biafran decision
Not an ojuckwu decision

The war was about the biafra
Not ojuckwu

Biafrans take responsibility for every action by biafrans during that war

stagger:
Ojukwu the chicken ran away after boasting he would be the last soldier to carry a rifle in Biafra, throwing out children and relief officials from an aircraft bound for Gabon in the process and hiding in Cote d'Ivoire for 12 years.

The real hero was Philip Effiong who stood his ground, refused to run and put an end to the bloodshed, stating in his famous surrender speech that those who had made it difficult for negotiations to move on had quietly removed themselves from their midst. He ended up spending time in prison for his bravery.

Today the coward is celebrated (Ojukwu) while the real man and the real hero who saved millions more lives by taking a bold step of knowing when the situation was hopeless is forgotten. What an irony.

Thank you OP for reminding us.

TonyeBarcanista:
Hypocricy is when a man keep silent when his fellow Igbos insult and malign my ethnic group but shout blue murder when I Like responses from those that reply insults against myself and my ethnic group. I have NO apologies for hypocrites. I have NO explanation either. Whoever is not satisfied with my position on the Biafra-Brohuaha should go to Akure for a session with Akure youths. Whoever feel threatened or pained that I don't support their agenda that my group have ZERO to gain but all to lose should GO AND DIE! Whoever think/feel that I'm bothered by their sheer hate(you inclusive) because I don't align with their partisan or tribal ideology should go empty Atlantic ocean. Finally, whoever think that I'm interested in false/hypocritical followership should visit the strongest spiritualist in India.

#NoApologies

theDEVILisHERE:
He didn't abandon his people

He defended his people
And his people responded by defending him

There was no how biafrans would have allowed their leader to be captured by the british imperialist aided by their "niggas in the area" aka nigerian slaves

Biafrans are people of honour and cannot allow such to happen to their leader

Biafras act of defending their leader has made ojuckwu's idea of restoration of biafra to live to fight another day
That is why the fight for biafras restoration can never ever be stopped till biafra is restored

So like I said
No amount of twisted logic can change the fact that ojuckwu is a hero

flylykace:
Rev. Fr. E. Mbaka must annouce for me to believe it

theDEVILisHERE:
Defending the interest and lives of your people from incesant enemy attacks
Already makes you a hero

So what ever parameter you use to describe a hero
OJUCKWU will always be a hero

I already included the mileage.

We have come a long way as a country.When you see some of the things that happened in the past,you begin to ask yourselves questions like so we were like this as a country before.Check out this throwback picture of staff of Central Bank of Nigeria(CBN) setting the value of the Naira in a weekly session in 1987.Compare it with how CBN set the value of naira now.

wiseoneking:
you dont sound ibibion and ibibio blood can never run in your cowardly words: your decendants shall ever remain in one nigeria. This is a country that pauperise ibibio to the extent that the ibibios are taking as house helps and cooks. 80% of thesame oil well in your background are been controlled by people who travelled more than 1500km from the north. Do only thing you gain is been humiliated. Imagine an hausa man mocking ibibio nation that their daughters are good as house girls. Thank God, akpabio said that he is changing that. You want me to be that you are an ibibio lady? Na lie.No ibibio person would want to remain in nigeria. Ekwueme and nwabueze were the duo that spearheaded 6 zonal structure of today where SS is having a voice, he fought for 50% derivates which the north fought back and after everything, he won 13% not for the SE but SS who got the major deposit. How about the recent conf where it was SE a major support for 25% derivative yet thesame naija shout down your parents. Today with all your huge resources, you are still backward to the extend of your love 4 nigeria. Biafra believe in resource control and federating unit, why must a right thinking ibibio man be comfortable in a nation where he fought to be giving 13% of their wealth and 80% of the oil wells are the hands of people that enslaves them. You cant be real ibibio

Coolabbie:
If the only option available is biafra, then I will rather be in Nigeria.
You should know what the ibos are capable of, we are neighbours.
No way will I be in a country filled with ndito unenge, they will wipe us out.
Until the Ibibios advocate for their own country separate from others, I will continuously shout one Nigeria.

jstriker442:
been reading ur posts. Bros wat is your point ??

theshield:
Brainwashed calarba man. he deserve to die like ojukwu for eating with the devil.

ocelot2006:
In the end it took an Ibibio man to end the whole Biafran madness while his boss and collegues from the SE ran away. Yet same group wants us to join them again in a repeat of same madness they instigated decades ago. Talk of stupidity.
