Pls don't spread lies, the man clearly wasn't lynched but thoroughly beaten by the Indian police and Goan public and subsequently taken away conscious and alive in a police van (for his safety) presumably to a hospital for treatment.

I don't know why you fail to understand the meaning of the word lynch and its usage (in your case its misuse) in this regard.

Pls try and modify the topic before you further mislead more ppl, especially lazy ones who may rely on the heading without bothering to open the thread.

hercules07: What most people do not realise is that Saudi Arabia absolutely loathes Iran even more than Israel, they want to be the big guys in the middle east, they also want to demolish the shite wherever they may be. i do not think the US will allow Pakistan to sell any of their Nuclear weapons.

I am not sure USA can do much about it, the two countries are its very strong allies in its foreign policies in the ME and war on terror respectively; besides money (which the Saudis have) is a very strong influencing factor.

I see Israeli security taking a dent in this development and Palestinian hopes rising a tiny little notch.

Very interesting.

Brimmie: Is Better U Chase "Them" Out Of Goa, Dnt Even Try To Kill Them!! Their Spirits Can Rap.e, Kidnap, And Use Ppl's Head For Rituals!!

Pack Them Inside One Coaster And Drop Them In Pakistan!!

LOL, oboy you wicked no be small

Detente in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia, Israel and Iran each checkmating each.

^^^^^ No need to scratch your head to second guess whats really attracting them there.
Just watch the videos and listen carefully to accents, then you'll will know from where they come from, and therefore the likely business they'll indulge and that'll attract them to such place.

You really don't have to be a rocket scientist to arrive at the correct conclusions; even the Goan media, police and politicians are pointing to the right direction.

LOL at the guy who the police and public seriously thrashed in that video, maybe he can take his case to the international criminal court, with any luck he could even claim GENOCIDE !

Danhumprey: Are u for real? Next time when things start working well in this country,you would retract your statement,and rather start screaming to high heaven that you are a Nigerian,abi?

They pretend they are not Nigerians when it favours them and Nigerians when it is convenient for them to give the country a bad name.

^^^^ Even the South Africans don't want them, haven't you heard they provoked the local SAs to Xenophobia, these ppl are always constituting a damn nuisance wherever they try to settle.
They usually always end up insulting their hosts thereby inviting reprisals only for them to play victims when attacked (in consequence).
They also choose not to be Nigerians when it least favours them and Nigerians when it conveniences them to give the country a bad name. SMH

azeezhy: We know them. They just cant prosper in their villages. They have to go out to other peoples land. Very soon, they will tell you india is no man's land.

Yes, we know them, they are in fact not Nigerians, they also like to insult their hosts thereby inviting reprisals and playing victims when attacked in consequence).

What a pity, a real pity, for he has lost out in this world and in the hereafter.
Suicide is forbidden and a very big crime in Islam, he would be buried only as an ordinary person but not a Muslim, as no prayers would also be offered over him.

I pity also his family for the grief and shame he had brought onto them.
Above all, I sympathise with him for the trauma that must have driven him into this dastardly act, especially at the very twilight of his life, aged 75 yrs.

May Allah continue to give us the fortitude to endure all the trials and tribulations of this life, no matter how grave and to maintain our faith in Him throughout. Ameen.

^^^^ So they have future plans to address the technical issue of safety and operations.
Well, let me ask you a question; which do you you think should come first between safety and beauty, in terms of priority?

With this kind of mindset, its no wonder that you seem to lack the technical ability to quote and post your comments effectively.

Still, your ish with the Ex Gov does not take away his right to channel his money (as you put it) to another country or spend it as he likes.

Yes, deny as much as you want, you still seem fixated about the aviation minister (not necessarily the issue at hand) and with the defence of the indefensible.

barcanista: The Ijaws were predominantly fishermen before the oil. The Oil destroyed our waters and killed our fishes. With the Oil Age coming to an end, our waters shall be cleansed, Spillage will be gone, end of militancy, end of bunkering, Our land will be cleansed, we shall worryless.

And continue to be worthless worriless fishermen without shoes.

^^^^ Read my post again, I did not refer to the issue of expensive cars (stop jumping to the wrong conclusion) but the important technical issue of flight safety and operations as opposed to only beautifying the airports.

As for the Ex Gov, well its a free world, if its his money then he is entitled to spend it as he likes.

So by inference, if most plane crashes in Nigeria are not due to negligence then they must be deliberate or an act of God - now I see where you are coming from, no wonder you were fixated about the cars - an Oduah apologist in disguise.

igbeke: Wat do we hav today in our FCSC? a majority of uneducated !diots who were brought in at d expence of d more qualified ones. a civil service dat makes one want to shed tears wen compared to some smaller and less relevant countries like Ghana or even Republic of Benin.

Madam Ngozi was only trying to correct d lopsidedness as created by ur pple in d north in deir quest to feed deir greed, wit d guise of federal character.
Madam Stella has not been proven guilty of dos charges like u refered to, ok?
Hav u forgotten d much celebrated fuel subsidy probe as involved ur brother, Farouk Lawal? wat abt d pension scam? ur pple are still behind it. d list is endless.
u see, in a sane country, d likes of farouk and Alhaji
Abdulrasheed Maina shud be hunged in d gallows or more leniently, made to rot in jail.

@ Above highlighted (in bold):
Apparently the majority of those !diots you referred to in the Federal Civil Service, are likely to be Anambrans, who according to a recent survey by an NGO put Anambra as the state enjoying the lion's share of federal appointments.

Anambra Is Biggest Beneficiary Of Federal Appointments, Research Reveals by muktarl: 4:05pm On Jul 20
A research by an Abuja-based Non-Governmental Organisation, Governance and Sustainable Development Initiatives, has revealed that Anambra State is the biggest beneficiary of federal appointments in the last two years.
The NGO’s report was signed by its CEO, Dr Goke Adegoroye, a retired Federal Permanent Secretary and pioneer Director General of the Bureau of Public Service Reforms.

http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/anambra-is-biggest-beneficiary-of-federal-appointments-research-reveals/153842/

So I guess if you have to cry about the deplorable state of our federal civil service compared to minions of the likes of Ghana and Republic of Benin then blame it on your brothers and sister from Anambra for taking the place of more qualified ones.

As for Farouk and Alhaji Maina, I agree they should be hung and quartered just like many of your brothers who are languishing in many of the jails of America, Europe and the Far East for drugs and other crimes they are famous for.

[quote author=re@lchange]the only point made out of what would have been total balderdash and pointless ranting[/quote]Of course you would consider all except only the one you like as pointless; since Igbos DNA seems to be imprinted with denial and self deceit.

lygn19: Clips from history-
.
.
.
"When it came to execution, the Majors designated five officers as regional commanders for the coups execution.
Of Nzeogwu's "five", there were "the two of us in the north"(Nzeogwu and Major Tim Onwatuegwu), and three more in the south...
Not many realize that several officers of northern origin took part in Nigeria's first military coup. The "Igbo coup" tag attached to the Major's assault ignores the fact that scores of northern officers took part in the Lagos operations, and even assisted Nzeogwu when he stormed the residence of the Northern Region's premier: AHMADU BELLO.
Nzeogwu later described the detachment of troops accompanying him to Bello's house as "a truly Nigerian gathering" (NEW NIGERIAN-18th January 1966). Nzeogwu pointed out that the northern soldiers accompanying him "had the chance to drop out. More than that they had bullets. They had been issued with bullets but I was unarmed since I was a Major. If they had disagreed they could have shot me... most of the Other Ranks were northerners but they followed". Among the prominent northern soldiers that helped Nzeogwu to overthrow the Northern Region's premier was JOHN ATOM KPERA. Kpera later became the military governor of Benue State. Many of the soldiers that accompanied Major Ifeajuna when he abducted the Prime minister: Tafawa Balewa, were northerners.

Who is deceiving who?

My friend you are only deceiving yourself by trying to do the usual Igbo thing of twisting/re-writing history to cover up the crimes of your kith and kin.

First of all, it was a lie that Chukwuma wasn't armed when he stormed the Sarduana's residence to assassinate him; otherwise how else was he able to have killed the premier - ok let me guess, ah yes, he must have used catapult to callously shoot the premier and his wife.

Secondly, no officer from the core north was involved in the planning or execution of the coup; however the rank and file that accompanied the major were first of all tricked into falsely believing they were carrying out a training exercise (operation damusa). They were initially given blank ammunitions in the beginning days of the make believe exercise and later substituted with live rounds towards the H hour of the actual D day - to conceal the truth from them.
IT should also be appreciated that in those days, the army was a well disciplined brotherhood devoid of religious or ethnic sentiments, held together by esprit de corp, where officers and men were trained and conditioned to obey the last order without question.
Therefore those soldiers were only carrying out what they thought were legitimate orders of a superior officer, Chukuma Nzeougu, and never realised the implication of their actions until much much later, after Ironsi appeared to be treating the coup plotters with levity while also effecting appointments and policies that seemed to favour his Igbo brothers, including the present day much maligned unitary system - which ultimately led to the overthrow of his govt and the civil war.

The coup was no doubt an Igbo coup, planned by Igbos, executed by Igbos, targeting and killing non-Igbos , for the benefit of Igbos, who rejoiced and openly celebrated the killings - until karma caught up with them when the tables turned - and today they want to obliterate these facts from history, wherein they were actually the cause of most our current problems emanating from the first day they derailed our nascent democracy.

In this regard, I will actually go ahead and without apology say that Igbos are an ungrateful lot for not acknowledging and appreciating the magnanimity of Nigerians (predominantly north) led by General Gowon (who they continue to castigate till today) for embracing them soon after the war with the spirit of no victor, no vanquished; as manifested through the three R: Reconciliation, Rehabilitation and Reconstruction.
If not for this magnanimity, how else could have the Igbos even imagined let alone wishing to aspire towards the leadership of this country, considering the natural expected consequence of defeat and rebellion, for which students of natural history would tell you that it is usually eternal bondage and subjugation of the defeated nation and its ppl under it's conquerors - yet today the Biafrans are free and some of them even have the audacity to shout marginalisation and cheating - what an ungrateful lot; if Gowon had not been kind and magnanimous, Igbos would surely have been our slaves today and probably with Ojukwu's bearded head as somebody's foot rest. Mmmcctthheeewww!, Abeg, pls let this country divide, make we hear word

9Willywilly: Me_Aboki, you are right, there is no need for this one Nigeria, MY prayer is quick final disintegration of this rotten thing call Nigeria

Amen.

The word TERMINAL says it all; it means end stage or the end, so anybody with terminal illness isn't expected to make it, whether given the right or wrong medicine.
In this case, the patient appeared to have died soon after administration of the medication, which the relatives must have tied to the immediate action of the nurse - apparently in ignorance, though it doesn't rule out that the drugs weren't the actual cause of death.
I am glad to see that the hospital is already taking the correct approach by insisting on an autopsy.
Bottomline, the woman would have eventually died of her disease in any case; the attack was therefore unnecessary - though I sympathise with the relatives.

noblezone: We are talking about Federal government colleges here my friend.

In impelemenation, it means your children that scored 1% can get admision at one of the Federal schools at Awka, while a child from awka who scored 69% will not be admitted.

You gave up the presidency without a fight? hahahahaaha!
As if I just came into the country.

How about the promise to make Nigeria ungovernable?
How about the consensus candidate?
How about the "Sai Buhari" movement?
How about the slaughtering of our children who came to serve Nigeria in your lands?

Akaluka made the mistake many of our people are still making, they believed in the lie called Nigeria.
And we are still calling our people still living in the core North to leave.


Please tackle me on my reasons. i might be ignorant and I am willing to learn!

For one who doesn't believe in One Nigeria, yet you are yearning from some of the fruits of that union, in federal govt institutions, how so ironic and self contradictory.

Fight means outright confrontation and shed of blood, like the one that kept Nigeria one - you dig?

As for your ppl, its a wonder why they keep failing to hear the clarion call of Biafrians and chose the risk of the bombs of Miaduguri and Yobe instead; could it be out of the fear of worst that is to likely await them in their so called homeland - it figures, doesn't it?

BTW, you have not said Amen to my prayer for Biafra and Arewa Republics.

^^^^ I am really tired of all this whining, its all so irritating to say the least; there should be no begging, anybody who doesn't want to stay let or them go pls.

I am truly beginning to see the positivity and good prospects ahead for an Awewa Republic and therefore wholeheartedly join my Igbo brothers and sisters in prayer for independent republics of Biafra and Arewa, everybody pls join us and say, Amen.

remark D: The rate at which threads were opened eh! and justice and rule of law thrown around from left right & center eh!! you go think say Nigerians are passionate people efor justice .. but all na wash.... and we know where such double-faced people hail from.... tufiakwa! aji gbakwaa oku!

We all know how corruption is eating away at the fabric of our society and how some ppl see nothing wrong with it, especially if the perpetrators come from their ethnicity, and also how criminality seems to be embedded in their DNA.

I see nothing wrong with your desire to separate, except for some of reasons you just gave, though I have no wish to tackle you on all but will say this:
why not start showing your independence with your feet, let your ppl start relocating
for goodness sake what was Akaluka still doing in Kano lest he allow his head be placed on a spike;
if your kids continually score higher marks why not keep them in Biafran Uni than ones in the north
born to rule yet we gave up the presidency without a fight and agreed to rotation and zoning

I can also go on and on but for the sake of brevity; know that if it were up to me I'll gladly let you have your Biafra so we could at least hear word and also have less criminality amongst us, may we live to see Biafra and Arewa Republic, say amen.

So southerners are now terrorists? - couldn't resist that dig, just too inviting

Anyway, who is she kidding; after the government led by tribal a champion, retardeen, had awarded security of the pipelines to his ND militants against the country's own navy.
Doesn't that tantamount to giving your meat to a hyena for safe keeping (a Hausa proverb, BTW).

Of course, it wouldn't surprise me if some cretinous maggots without brain development see nothing wrong with that policy.

[quote author=Beaf!] We all know what part of Nigeria will feel this the most. The oyel owners. I guess the lazy 'parasites' of the north can only revive their resources and make good use of it.

This is serious o. I hope we start dusting our lazy selves up and find another source of wealth.[/quote]Thats why Nigeria must divide so that the real parasites who actually contribute little to her GDP (the driving force behind any economy) will finally emerge.

Soon our vast arable land in the north will become even more valuable along with our agricultural exports, including food.
We may soon also have to shore up our border security and make sure we impose heavy fees for our visas in order to stave off unwanted immigrants

Thank you Lord for this blessing, no more insults, no more One Nigeria; but welcome Arewa republic, Ameen!

Choi, see small example of the rewards of lootocracy; but God is watching, karma is on its way, ask Ibori.

[quote author=haka_nai]Ahmed Daku speaks for himself.Nothing like for the North. When its time the North will talk through the appropriate channels. He is speaking for himself as for now. As for me nothing will happen the North should go there Jor! No be to have conference discuss issues. Its i say and you say.We no gree yes then how far? E no do,we part ways QED.
Its better the Northern Elite for the sake of God begin to look northwards for economic emancipation,that time has come.[/quote]I quite agree with you, in fact I would like us to go one step further and agree with the secessionists for the break up of this country and let everybody go his own ways.

Truly speaking the north will in the long run be far better off, the greed for oil money is what is motivating the secessionists but unfortunately, that commodity will soon lose its value because there is an impending long term global oil glut in the horizon due to increasing bigger and better great finds elsewhere (e.g. Australia, Gulf of Mexico etc.).

Oil will soon become a cheap commodity (by laws of supply and demand) as more and more producers and products enter the market; besides others sources of producing alternative energy are making great headways.

Currently, even Shell Nigeria (and others) is trying sell off its onshore oil wells due the usual wahala of militancy and bunkering.

North should therefore go on its own and concentrate on biggest asset (agriculture) and tapping of its numerous unexploited resources; besides, it already also has oil (in Niger, Sokoto and Borno) with potential for more, including huge gas reserves ( along NE/benue axis).
We should simply and immediately concentrate on self development and let them (southerners) go and drink their soon to be worthless oil.

Annie2gud: they are desert warriors.

Must you always advertise your bigotry and ignorance - oh yeah, sure the north is a desert and full of warriors.

Most of this governor needs tutorial![/quote]So that his plane too will fall down from the sky like other ones, due to criminal negligence and poor maintenance ethics under the watchful eye of our aviation ministry, whose concern seems more preoccupied with beautifying the airports while ignoring the really important technical issues of flight safety and operations.

emk4lif: Really pseudo economist...which GDP has declined,nigeria's GDP is expanding at 7% annually which is one of the fastest in the world, he's reduced nigeria's inflation to single digit levels,the lowest in years.introduced the NUBAN system..he has cleaned up the nation's banking sector and stabilized it and also together with NOI started AMCON, our foreign reserves have been very stable and he's been consistently been named by the world's top financial magazines as the best central bank governor of the year.....next time u want to make a criticism , at least do so factually and stop showing your ignorance...if we had more public officers like Sanusi our country would no be in this precarious state

You literally took those words out of my mouth.

However, considering the cretinous posts I have so far seen (which are quite in the majority) driven by by sheer bigotry and myopism; in one case a pseudo intellectual displaying a remarkable lack of comprehension by arguing and asking questions for which the answers are already there before him; yes alas, I am inclined to agree with those that suggest Nigeria has serious problems - OMG!

Mods should do the Needful!
Front page pls.

CyberG: What is the point the narrator is trying to make? Is it the fault of the land that it is barren and uninhabited or the fault of the human beings that chose not to inhabit this place? Is it the fault of the cattle or do cattle distinguish between north, south, east or west? If he condemns Peter Obi who he says is the looter, is he contesting for governor now? If he's not, well someone has to be governor, who should it be if he the complainer is not putting himself forward? Is it the fault of the innocent Nigerians who are on the land that Ibos are not in the land? My point is NONE of the people he is blaming here have a SINGLE QUESTION to answer or should even be questioned in the first place! If he is questioning why the Ibos are in Chicago and London and everywhere else, can you ask him where he lives and where he came from? Where is his immediate family? We all know that illegal radio stations cannot operate in Nigeria and no way is his radio station in Nigeria, so why the hypocrisy?

As far as I know and the constitution of the country knows, Hausas have a RIGHT to be anywhere and make a living anywhere in Nigeria, just like the Ibos are currently anywhere they want to be, why the double standards? If an fulani man is carrying an illegal firearm, whose job is it to ensure the security of the state and country and whose job is it to control the movement of arms in the country? The point is human beings will break the law anytime they know they can get away with it! In Nigeria, where everyone has been beaten out of shape with poverty, the law of the jungle reigns supreme where a lot of people and places are still in the basal Hobbesian state of nature! A Fulani man carries a weapon to protect himself (illegally) because he knows no police or government will protect him or his family in any dangerous situation that could potentially take his life, his friends or cattle! If you saw police throwing dead bodies being thrown like stones inside water, in a land where there is supposedly a government and nothing has happened, would you not carry ann AK-47 if only to give yourself an assurance of protection or defence? Some other people will carry the same weapons at night, which is far worse, because they are on a mission to rob other people - something the Fulani man is not doing here, he is just asking everyone to respect himself, respect him and mind their own business! When you want people to inhabit your land, you first move back there yourself and fix the things you complained about! Turn it into London and see if even white Londoners will not queue up for visa just to see it! You have to stop whining and complaining because it never solved any problem! I am sure since the video was shot, nothing has changed! Nothing will change if you just shoot a video, whine, complain and your Peter Obi is in cahoots with the retardeen government and all they care about is delivering the needed votes to perpetuate their continual stealing of your patrimony. If you think they will give that up for a silly video or a hypocritical narrator living under the rock or Mars, well you need to ask the 40 bodies thrown into the river how their rebellion or dissidence worked out for them!

Best objective post in this thread so far.

@Topic:
I saw a myopic, self centred and self serving mindset inarticulately trying to sow the seeds of distrust and discord in the hearts of Nigerians, the Ndibgo in particular against the Hausa-Fulanis.However, I am glad to observe that this particular attempt is failing woefully for what it actually was - a botched up propaganda job.

It amazed me how the video producers failed to see their self contradiction in the case of the murders, the first opening sub-titles identified the police as the culprits (with the governor's involvement) but immediately after and without shame, the next sub-titles then tried to link the deaths with Fulani herdsmen (how crude can they get) - the rest of the video has already been well discussed, so no need to comment further.

They should consider face recognition technology instead.
I currently have finger print security pass for my laptop and the thing isn't always reliable, moisture and small amount of grease on the finger sometimes to affects it; besides, though funny and at the same time horrible to contemplate, the risk of finger amputations at the hands of criminals is quite a serious and realistic concern worthy of giving other options a good look.

berem: I wonder what benefit it is to spy on Nigeria's state security. Did they see anything interesting?

Apparently nothing much, just the drunken antics of a fisherman with a lady's bottom in an armoured BMW at the ministry of aviation
