What's the purpose of this thread?

Why try to generate bad blood amd ethnic bashing?

#StopTheHate! Let us unite and love each other no matter the past!
I think we should do well to always remind ourselves of our history.
You need to know where you're coming from in order to know where you're going to.

It pains me sometimes that there's no proper documentation of Sub-Saharan African race and our lifestyle before the coming of the Europeans.
100 years from now, some countries will have rich stories and histories to tell their children and we want to let ours slide? Every part of history matters and once in a whole should be talked about as not to allow it die.

Do you know that a very high percentage of Nigerians don't know really how the war happened because parents were shielding the story and avoidING creating bad blood.

My father has never for a day told me of his own volition about his experience in the war, all I know is that he revered Ikemba so much that we learned early enough not to say a word to interrupt the news if Ikemba was shown, mentioned On TV or if he was giving a speech.

I learnt from someone else that he lost 5 siblings to the war. I also know that growing up, there were documentaries, cassettes and lots of books he owned on the Biafran war. Most of my knowledge came from those which will never make up for first hand experience and stories.

Our history is our history, as much as we're avoiding creating bad blood, posterity will not judge us right if we let this all-important part of Nigerian history die and our children to rely on books written by a few Nigerians and foreigners to know about the Nigerian-Biafran war. Some of us can.recount the World war stories, know the facts, data and statistics more than we do this that affected us specially.

To serve our Fatherland
With love and strength and faith
The labour of our heroes past shall never be in vain!

O God of creation, direct our noble cause
Guide our leaders right
Help our youth the truth to know!

God bless Nigeria!

Is Hazard a striker?

If he isn't, why do you want us to tell us Alexis is a striker? Like we don't know our players?

Soon, you'll tell us Theo and even Mesut are strikers too

Old school Chelsea - always great, but greater with Big Mou and Abramovich's money.

Chelsea legend, Gianfranco Zola's Cup Winners Cup (98) goal that clinch us the title.

Enjoy greatness!!! Poyet, Vialli, Dan Petrescu, Di Matteo, Mark Hughes et al!!! We have been great from day!

Ee-yaah. Trying too hard to prove you have a history.

Trust me, you don't want The REAL EPL CLUBS WITH RICH HISTORY to start digging up the goals that earned their historic feats.

Word of advice, concentrate on your present and make the most noise out of it like you're known for. Because if you go down this route you are on now, my friend...

Not really. You'd be surprised to find out the chronic debtors are the known rich in the society. And that the chronic debtor companies are the very big companies. Why won't they pay up, they just making banks suffer and causing bankers to lose their jobs. Because as a banker, you're at risk if big loans you facilitate go bad

Thesame Burnley Chelsea couldn't manage to beat even when Burnley wasn't fighting relegation.
Thesame Burnley that beat Man City at their home and held them to a draw away
Thesame Burnley that Tottenham couldn't win

That's thesame.Burnley that Arsenal won yesterday. Burnley that's seriously fighting for their lives now against relegation. Please look at the statistics of that game yesterday and see how many fouls they committed in just the first half

If your team isn't playing well my friend, just say it. Nothing will spoil

That's all!
Attempt to dabble in politics?

Pray, tell me, what was THEIR attempt this time?

The fear by some persons that majority of Igbos (because it can't be all Igbos) will vote another candidate. Someone that's Yoruba? Someone I'm sure some other Yorubas and other tribes will vote also and not just Igbo?

Kindly tell me sir, in what way did they dabble in politics in this case?
