tigress it's just a question, don't show your tigritude just yet.
Well, think you're right.

Don't mind me, was just vexed...

Conviction?

Caseless:
no single conviction, are you sure?

Magu's EFCC don secure one? High profile? When?

Tunami:
lol, so you've joined the wailing wailers.

God forbid bad thing, I'm not in mourning.. Jonathan's loss isn't a personal loss so wailing isn't my portion..

When they do well, we commend, when it's the opposite, we condemn, no emotions involved, it's our responsibility as productive sensible citizens..

****

Ordinary football and athletics, Nigeria cannot effectively manage.... Football team was struck in the U.S ....athlethes were crying for food..... Nigeria cannot manage existing sports....

You now want to add swimming and diving to it.... Are you aware the rowing girl chierika sponsored herself to the Olympics? If you add water sports to Nigerian sports list, will the government be able to fund them when they cant even pay coach salaries?

Please go and sit down jare !

Save this lie for your illiterate acolytes, do better research while at it.

Izonpikin:
well na money we dey find na.. ...na so the country don do all of us...Belle first...

Sports bring money too and a lot of it... Listen to the commentaries and you'll find out more than 50% of those athletes are on sponsorship or scholarship..

Some athletes aren't even representing their countries of birth or origin... It's passion, seems Ijaw aren't about anything else..

Rival:
These would have been good questions if prompted by a genuine desire to know order than trying to justify some preconceived notions about the Ijaws that you latch onto. When you have a theif lurking around your house to dispossess you of your belongings will you leave your house and go far away without securing your house properly? If the oil found in their own backyard was not everything and not so important as you are alluding, why does your president value it more than the lives of your people killed by the fulanis? How much interest does he show when lives are lost and the response interval compared to a threat to the oil that you think the Ijaws should not be so concerned about? So many things are wrong in this country and as someone who is not from the Niger Delta, especially an Ijaw, who lives off the resources of the Ijaws, it will be difficult for you to understand the psychological implications of being a host without appreciation. Thanks

Leave the rhetorics, why are there no Ijaws competing in top level water sports, they don't have to represent Nigeria, they can represent other countries...

God be praised.

He has given me joy unspeakable .

Mamas my story has changed. Kindly welcome me to the pregnancy thread.

Modath.......come out oh. God has wiped my tears.

No words...

mikolo80:
American women farm on their own and if you try your confidence you get shot, dead

On reprisal attacks, did the press not report a major one around there? Did the police not round up some people planning to counter attack after that evenet? The only thing i see is that they didn't plan well enough, if they had been low key and quiet, they'd have achieved their objective with no one the wiser but shakara too much...

Do not compare America to Nigeria in this instance...

Do they have this kind of problem? They have their own gun problems that is peculiar, apples and oranges.

So the women are supposed to go farming with dane guns straped to their waists, issokay, you win..

Izonpikin:
what about the lagosians who live around badagry and lekki who should even concentrate more(since they have no oil) not representing us at the olympics

You just wan find trouble abi?...

Nope, what will be the objective? Really and genuinely stumped that the Ijaw's much touted water adaptation doesn't translate to skills showcase... as for the badagry Egun, they don't claim to be "fishes"..


I don even rest for the matter, the Ijaw wannabes and mouth pieces won't allow objective discuss.... thx.

.....they said the position adopted by the people who gathered at the Akure meeting of Monday was ‘null and void’, stressing that it ran foul of the PDP’s Constitution on who has the power to convene any zonal meeting.

Same PDP Buhari is being accused of decimating?

Gigantic egos and no true desire for progress will never allow these people come together & agree on just one single thing !!

DickDastardly:
Picture Modath with Megaphone preaching this on the streets of Bayelsa

"I, i, i just say make the niger delta youths dem comot mind for oil .... then i woke up in emergency ward"

, that picture is tame, get one with broken ribs and punctured lungs...


Mehn, dem Ijaws should be shining on the world stage but...

Legitbaba:
Ijaw this, Ijaw that...are Ijaws the only riverine tribe?? How many medals the ilaje people don win??

Ilaje nor plenty reach Ijaw, the microscope is always on the majority.

On a serious note, yes it's a great advantage to us, buh again the Nigerian factor comes in...no facilities, poor orientation, neglection etc...

You are kidding, facilities? It is not in naija dictionary, do we even have books in Libraries? Seats in classrooms? Does any of that stop determined folks from reaching their full potentials?

I know both Mary Onyali and Olusoji Fasuba, neither had government support till they made a name for themselves.

BTW, Ijaws not swimming in Olympic has nothing to do with oil

It has to do with oil, if not dem for dey blow for water sports, they have the potential, they just refuse to explore that option and also aren't putting in their best, IMHO.

swagaholic:
Used to respect mo even as I know she's a ZOMBIE, buh after these thread she just lost my respect.... if OIL ain't everything why is nigeria killing for it??

Awwwhh, thx but nevermind about the respect, it won't make any difference, and you all should stop pretending, not one of you missed my point... it's well outlined and very obvious, no room for misunderstanding.

Even if they have 100% resource control, will it stop the IJAWS not harnessing their natural, God given aquatic skills?

Oil or no oil, they should be swimming, diving or water anything available on the world stage!! That is my point but you can all mischievously continue to derail and play devil's advocate..

BeClever:
When you realize that Lagos is actually one of the states in Nigeria and not own by anyone or any tribe..

And start re-adjusting your brains to the fact that Lagos is a NO man's land!!

I refuse to go tribal with you, Lagos belongs to you, it's not in south west Nigeria and bordered on all sides by yoruba towns and cities ...

Please install a non Yoruba governor in Lagos, appoint the iyaloja, when it's Christmas, spend it in Lagos, host your relatives for your traditional wedding in Lagos and if any of your aged relatives kick the bucket today, bury them in Lagos....

Also, when you get Bia Bia Utopia, annex lagos and make it the capital .. Happy now? Yeyenatu.

x12345678x:
Wen will op realise dat living off ijaw oil for 56 years isn't the only thing in life. Show some fucking respect to the ppl dats been feeding us since the beginning of this nation.

You are missing the point, I'm talking specifically about AQUATIC sports that Ijaws should by nature/ adaptation be well versed in...

As for the oil producing angle, don't Saudi, UAE, Venezuela,Angola, Iran etc also have oil? Why are they at the games?

omcnka:
All those Yoruba agberos chasing vehicles up and down in Lagos, why aren't they winning medals in athletics for us?

What about the ones chasing vehicles selling stuff in traffic? They actually run faster and better!!

chemicalDisease:
Mo, pls kindly tell Cassandra this
so that he can foolishly stop searching for
oil in lake Chad.
Ndi Ara!

Are you Ijaw? Why art thou so concerned?

Why is there not a single Ijaw competing in aquatics at the olympics? Each and everytime, we are inundated with tales of how superhuman Ijaws are when it comes to anything that has to do with water, why are we not seeing it being showcased to the world..

There are 6 different events, Swimming, Diving, Sychronised Swimming, Synchronized diving, Rowing and Open water swimming.. There is rowing, and water polo as well with over 50 gold medals up for grabs..50 opportunities for grace and GLORY.. Not one taker!!

Despite the natural talent the good Lord bestowed on the Ijaws, not one is harnessing it..Not a single soul is driven by passion or a desire to see his/her emblazoned on the world stage... Not one is driven to test him/herself against the world..

Excuse No 1... You have oil underneath the soil of the land you call home and yours but so does Iran,Saudi, Qatar, Angola, UAE and they are at the olympics, even if you get 100% resource control, will everyone have access to it?

Excuse No 2, Government nor dey support anybody..
True but it is only at the beggining.. As horrible as this country is , when they see medal potential, they are revved up from their lethargy, No one can say Blessing Okagbare is having a picnic with the sports ministry but she's letting her work and drive make a way for her...

Coco Ukogu has qualified for the 1/4 finals of rowing, she is not even a Nigerian in the real sense but the country is fronting her because she is a medal hopeful.. Even if she doesn't medal, it will raise her profile and create other opportunities for her

Excuse No 3: The Nigerian nation is not nice to the ND, Lie, we had an Ijaw president (who ought to know better and be passionate about aquatic sports) during London 2012 & the two Ijaws that made attempts were withdrawn by the irresponsible suits at the NSC because they were wild card entries and and he didn't move a muscle..... Wild card because they weren't fantastic but if they were so good, nothing would have held them back..

Excuse no 4.. Don't bother , there are scholarships from even ivy league schools for prolific swimmers.... If you are so good, compete in trials, opportunity will come...

Izonpikin, Tonyebarcanista, Dearpreye, why is this so?

P.S... This is not Ijaw bashing, just a call to action.. Peace.

Why did they release him? Oh the public outcry too much to bear? Jibrin/Dogara's matter they have not dealt with, one single case, they haven't successfully secured a conviction, they are harassing blogger

Magu has already mangled the goodwill he has been getting, goodluck with Senate Confirmation...

MasterofNL:
Bros is this really necessary?

Mo has been very reasonable here, why vent on her?

It is necessary, if you can't fight in the real world, pounding on key boards will serve....

One of the lost sons of Eli isn't venting on me, He is aiming above his reach, i just choose not to entertain crap from folks with little or no sound judgement....

SonOfEl:
Are you done ranting?
No wonder Dahomey women warriors beat your men black and blue.
No wonder the Yorubas in Dahomey and Togo still play second fiddle in the economy.
Thank God the world knows about the Biafra[ war....our courage was acknowledged, we don't need your Yoruba approval for bravery and courage.

Why are you intent on disgracing your generation and race? Do you lots even take time to do some soul searching before spewing crap and BS..

Thanking God for a monumental shameful, disgraceful & needless sacrifice of millions?

A war that the percusor /chief instigator couldn't even stay back to settle the mess himself?

Stop opening these women to mockery, log off, shut down and gather some toddlers to build sand castles with....

*mic drop* ... You are not worth the effort or time.

SonOfEl:
Madam bravo, you are using the nimbo village incident to judge igbos?

We are not like those of you that cede your lands and thrones to fulanis and bini out of fear of death e.g kwara, kogi, isale-eko Yoruba communities. We aint COWARDS like you.

We are not like you lots who got tired of fighting men and started bombing and starving women and children to get at the men. We ain't COWARDS like you.

We are not like you lots who have been used and dumped politically by your Fulani masters whereby you dare not challenge them bluntly and openly. We ain't COWARDS like you.

We are not like you guys who get attacked in your own land and you are afraid to speak out bluntly about it for fear of been punished politically and economically. We are not COWARDS like you.

Should I continue? Its of no use.

Igbos fight and die if necessary, for what they believe in e.g Igbo landing, Biafra war, ipob protest march....the list goes on and on.....

So madam bravo.....try harder.

Ibos fight and die? Where? When? Why then are they divorcing the poor women ? After their release from police custody, why haven't they "deleted" the defilers of their women?

Brave men,but they are taking out their anger on women who couldn't fight back then..

It's stuff like this that makes it easy to unlook when people make jest of you lots for matters that are supposed to be off limits... Still chest pounding on top of everything? What a shame!! Mtcheeww!!



Shym3xx, mikolo80,

Seems I'm not putting this in better perspective.. thx.. I'm out..

sarrki:
Baba Don talk am say no free money again
We all have to sweat for the money we make now
Sai baba

Definitely, and may we never see have such a period anymore.. Now rich people will actually have a spring board, not just political cronyism and patronage...

Stupendous wealth, you can't identify one niche they've carved for themselves, no business or professional footprints, all you'll hear is "i'm into oil & gas" or "e don hammer".


I don't know of many but this man I do know of, he does nothing but front for high profile political figures... A particular road construction funds he helped divert to private pockets....

I won't be surprised if he is linked to attempts to destabilize the govt, this isn't the best of times for him....

mikolo80:
how can you blame the men. Is it not the women that agreed to be married to cowards

I agree with you but it isn't a fair stand to take,there is the matter of reprisal attack to consider.... & the usual practise of law enforcement never taking decisive action is another sore point....

Nothing good can come out of men walking around for weeks and months on end with heightened s3xual frustration coming upon a female in an isolated farmland, alone or maybe just 2 of them.... The possibility of a happy ending is minimal.

I believe the way out is for the women to stop farming alone, if the men aren't available, everybody stay home!! since it leaves the women vulnerable to attacks.

Shym3xx:
I'm not even in the business of making excuses for women who like playing victims while looking for pity-parties, the faux-empowerment, and pseudo-feminism.

This is not about getting on pseudo feminism soap box, that will never be me!

The way the report puts it does indict the men quite alright but the truth is that, it may be consistent, it is never in sequence.. they are random attacks each and every time...

France keeps getting caught with their pants down but I don't see anyone accusing them of laxity (political propaganda doesn't count), when evil already lurks round the corner, it never gives advanced warning, and no matter the level of preparedness, one or two will always get past them.

I quite agree with you that the men have dropped the ball by not doing enough to protect their women from these incessant attacks, but I don't see a way out other than ensuring the women don't go to their farms unaccompanied which is almost impossible....

Last time they tried to come together, they were rounded up by police and had to be bailed out with heavy sums... I don't cosign their action but I understand how people are and can be...

In hindsight, how did the police even get wind of their plans? If they hadn't been brash about it, made stealth moves and quietly removed every trace of the demons, they probably wouldn't be in this situation....

One thing is sure, these men can't continue like these, they have no choice, they either learn to live with it or make a swift and clean move and let the chips fall wherever they may!! Enough is enough.

Why won't Delta's debt profile be the highest of the 36 states + FCT?

Right before us is the epitome of a visionless, spineless leader.... No sense of judgment, zero ethical value!!!

One can't even troll the people from that state for this, all one can feel is pity!! Pity for a lost and endangered generation..

Shym3xx:
Utter weak men and it's now obvious why they tie wrappers and also why they're some of the most emotional men ever. Classic beta males.

I'm sure these fools don't understand that they were the ones who failed to perform their duties as men, hence these women were rap3d by marauding Fulani wankers. It's the duty of the man is to protect his woman and, since these fools were too cowardly to protect their women from Fulanis - they ought to be locked up and thoroughly flogged.

SMH @ these wrapper tying men victimising victims of their cowardice. Sad.

Shy, why are you like this nah!! The thing is this, these women were sort of ambushed when they were on their farms working alone and the useless animals with rampant libido disappear....

I agree that the men and cowards for not standing up for their women, but the major problem in this is close mindedness of humans, people will troll both the victims and their relatives & how many people can you see being able to pop up their collars and not let it faze them? Especially in such small hamlets where everybody is in everybody's biz?..

I lost faith in humanity the day I learnt that people kill their relatives for getting raped..

Presidency ,

This event happened when? NLers have put this up ages ago...

You are sleeping on the job!!

Abagworo:
Whatever you think is happening in the South is equally happening in the North. Stop trying to create regional hatred when you all have same problem to solve together.

There is a a clear and marked difference between killing, maiming and destruction of properties in retaliation for cattle theft and molesting defenseless women in farms simply because the "urge" took them.....

"NO ONE ASKED THEM TO CHOOSE AN ITINERANT LIFESTYLE"..

We don't have to be politically correct all the time, we are yet to hear of women being raped in their farms in the north....

tyconcepts:
Gbam!!!


The tigress has spoken.

Kini yen dun mi gan...imagine those things wey nor dey baff for weeks..

It's so unfair to the women, then as people are, it's still dem in that community that will still make references to it and never let them & their relatives forget it...Nor be human being again? Uhhhmmm...

dy27:
You dey vex o my sis.. u yarnwell

Vex is an understatement!!!! I fit kill dem sef!! Animals!

TEYA:
You are a woman yet you do not blame a man that divorced his wife who was raped? Wow!

You probably are still young and looking at the world from rose tinted shades... I'm a bit grown and have become a realistic optimist, what i want the world to be and what it really is are far apart.....The world is cold, cruel and unfair......

I don't support the action but i totally understand, it is the people in the community that won't let their husbands forget the pain.. Any small disagreement, you can be sure, they will be taunted, that's the way people are, thinking otherwise is just practising self deception.

Are you aware that the Punjabi tribe in India actually murder their own family members who are unfortunate enough to be raped? They believe they have brought "dishonor" to themselves and the family name and they subject them to "honor killing"....



https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honor_killing

nduchucks:
You have to admit that the phrase "some of them" you used above is much better. It is the kind of qualification I was suggesting. Merely raining curses at herdsmen without making it clear that you are referring to some and not all of them, smacks of pure hatred and racism.

You are better than such hate filled rhetoric.

Stop patronising me, you knew quite well what i meant.

Pavore9:
You are thinking very far!

Yes oooh, you know how e dey be nah..

ImperialYoruba:
Endorsed!!

I believe the traditional ruler can be more useful here than NGO because of the grassroot contact and his position of authority in the community. The ruler could form a family crisis and rehab council (it should not be an office or a permanent fixture but a term limited intervention) to consist of elders from both genders. Their aim should focus on victim (the girls and women) support and there should be no line drawn on the scope.

I sympathize with the families.

Traditional rulers? Scratch that, aren't they part of the problem? It has been alleged that they collect grazing fees, which in turn emboldens the criminals amongst them....

I still don't get how ambushing women working in their farms should serve as punishment for cattle theft? Can the women even hold down cows for goodness sake?

I also don't see how they will be fully integrated back in to the community, they unfortunately have two strikes, The usual unfair mockery and judgement for being raped and the prevalent feeling their molesters invoke in the people in the community isn't a cake walk either....

Relationship cheats are in tulobu...

Bae: you are at home? Good, oya let's video chat...

Boo: errm, errm, connection nor too strong for here..
