@POST,

I have two comments.

Yes, we need reforms in Nigeria but we do not need to go outside the country for our transformations. We can do it on our own but I will concur that we are not philosophically matured or disciplined sufficiently to tackle the problems we face. The problems are modern day problems that need modern day perspective to resolve, unfortunately our perspectives are archaic in the way we view ourselves and the rest of the world.

My second comment is relating to the ICJ protocol. The ICJ does not handle issues that are deemed domestic to a sovereign member. If a domestic problem is viewed as gross violations of human rights and conditions for the citizens, then the nation is pressured to find solution. Failing a resolution, a peer member nation can act as a sponsor (surrogate) to introduce the grievances on behalf of the aggrieved citizens. The keyword is membership. . .only member nations can introduce briefs against other nations in the capacity of self detrmination or fighting to bring self determination to others who are denied basic rights by their own sovereign nation.

@post,

White people have an inverted sense for appreciation of beauty. They understand symmetry that's it. . .when it comes to beauty their definition is warped. Ask a black woman to define your handsomeness. . .her feedback is accurate.

You mentioned that these white girls are very beautiful. Are you sure?

THEY HAVE THE OIL, THEY RUN THE NNPC, THEY RUN THE GOVERMENT, THEY CONTROL THE ARMY , THEY CONTROL ABUJA,

NA TODAY ONE DAY THE SOUTH WE WAKE UP, TO THE ISSUES THAT WE SWEEP UNDER THE CARPET AT HOME AND AT ABURI
ONE NIGERIA

Brilliant statement!

Do you believe that certain elements in the FG are siphoning the national wealth into their private financial account overseas? Do you have the account numbr where the money is kept and the record by name and amount of these thefts?

C'mon. . .use common sense for a change. Overnight the civil service was transformed and Igbos were promoted above those more qualified to hold posts. Looking for evidence. . .go back to the link at the opening on page 1 and see the list. That's a microcosm of other inequities at the expense of Yorubas and Hausas.


You keep saying you, you, you. . . Afam, this is not about YOU! This is about Igbo. You happen to be a member of the group so for God's sake hush about what your crusade for one nationality and go into threads where your people are bashing others. . . if you want to save Nigeria thats where your crusade should begin.

You believe that because you got the timeline wrong. You see, I am fcused between 1959 and July 66; not the civil war which happened much later. You and your protege should read carefully next time.

It is not for you to define what confrontation is when asked to defend a position or respond to counter arguments. In spite of your hate filled posts and very bad remarks on a people (Igbos) based on the actions of a few military men I have chosen to ask you to clarify issues that you have dodged.

The general Igbo people jubilated the outcome of the Jan 66 coup and were content to ride joyfully as the new elite of the country without censoring the wanton act of barbarism exhibited by a few Igbo military men.

You can not lavish on the rewards and then distance from the review. You own both. So I cant understand what is false about that or how you can call that hatred.

However, if you want me to praise you or kneel down before you see my posts as requests to defend your position I will never do that. As a matter of fact I am being extremely nice to address you the way I do because based on the hate filled comments towards my people you don't deserve any respect and no apologies for that. I have only refrained from introducing harsh words so that you will not use that as excuses to avoid compelling counter arguments that have trashed some of your statements.

Look, patriotic citizens are loyal to their nations and their people. Patriotism does not happen on account of who the other nations are or are not. Your patriotism is defined by your own belief in who your nation and your people are as a member of the human universe. You detest truth. What I have accounted for so far are the events as they happened. As we speak right now. . .there are Igbo people on internet agitating for a repeat of the 60s to break Biafra out of Nigeria. How prudent is that? But yet you fail to look inward and see your own folks as the haters and the barriers to your progress in Nigeria. . .but you blame everyone else. Like I said, patriotism happens because you recognize and accept who you are relative to what others are. If you do not define yourself. . .and make a good job doing so, you will be left vulnerable for others to define you and their definition of you will not be pleasant.

Only intellectually challenged people would effortlessly condemn a people based on actions of some.

Everyone is talking about intellect. I guess that's the new buzz word for Nigerians. I will tell you like this. . .

Negro is not intelligent, he lacks intellect. . . but he is darn politically savvy and in all matters of politics and civics he has the mastery to influence mind and s.crew over opponents. Between intelligence and shrewdness, Negro picks to be shrewd.

Going back to the topic and all jokes aside, the author made very good points and personally I take it as a "war cry" . . .the heralding of the able bodied sons of the soil to gather with force to shield and protect their homeland from external aggression. Only that in this case the call, originating from a woman, should appropriately be called a "cultural cry".

I am in support and I agree with her completely.

why does the post fascinate you so much. it's like u were waiting for women to flood here n start wiping their tears at ur feet

YES! You have problem with that?

Whats gong on Acid? Oyinda has moderated this discussion to death and nothing concrete has yet been contributed to the topic subject

What are you doin here this late. . . you will be corrupted by adults on this forum

Webbie's original. This is different from Neyo's

I N D E P E N D E N T,

Do You Know What That Mean Man ?

With all due respect to his likes, he is incapable of any intellectual discussion. No self respecting man or woman would make accusations and when challenged with facts and logic cannot defend his/her positions.

Intellectuals do not open their questions and challenges with vulgarity on the opponent. I don't know about where you come from. . .but Yoruba culture teaches me to seek understanding through clarity, not confrontation. There is a time and place for understanding and there is a separate time and place for aggression. . .intellectual discussion is not for aggression. Approach intellectually and you will get an intellctual response. . .otherwise I push my ignore button on you.

. . .Larez, thank you for sharing that.

The Igbos are encouraged by our silence in the West. By nature they are an aggresive people. . .they make a lot of noise ahead of their plans and wait for a response and if one did not come back the result aggravates them to make louder noise. When they finally launch an assault it's usually without air. All the air they need to sustain battle was spent in noise making. This is why for most part here I dismiss their ignorance. . .and true to their nature they always come back louder.

When you respond to them calmly you end up controlling their emotions and can safely steer them where you need their attention. . . Outside of what we are discussing here each and everyone of them know me, I am quick to tell their ass off but not now, I have a mission on this one and I thank you for encouraging my focus.

Dede, are you talking about the period between 1959 and 1966? I'm interested in what you are saying so clarify the points for me.

Negro Nation, please make up your mind about who you are quarrelling with. Stop shifting grounds like a landslide. You made your accusations against the Igbos and when challenged with superior argument by knowledgeable people you beat a hasty retreat and have now started switching your attack to the British and Housas without being man enough to hold your hands up and accept the errors of your original position.

If you have some sense you better start taking notes. . .by the time I am done I would have covered so many grounds and opened up a variety of issues that could in themselves become manuscript for a book. Would you like to make some money?

I see. Some of the women abroad are from village too. Their eyes don open enh?

Whats in the village?

Oh God. . .all these fly by night authors that became relationship experts. Their motivational talk is nothing but scam.

Pay attention to her. Every time she is speaking to you, make an effort to look her in the eyes and understand what she is saying. If you do not understand, tell her. This will show her that you are listening and would like to hear what she has to say.

-Be trustworthy. Prove yourself to her daily. If you give her your word that you will be there for her, follow through. How can anyone care for someone they lie to?

-Respect her mind, body, and soul. She is a different individual. There are many paths of life and hers may be differing from yours. Accept her and cherish her for who she is.

-Perform random acts of kindness. Be creative. Call her when you guys are not together and tell her that you are thinking about her. Paste a note on her mirror telling her that you love her. A picture is worth a thousand words, paint her a watercolor. Leave her a flower and a sincere note.

-Spend quality time with her. Turning off the T.V., grabbing a blanket, and lying with her beneath the stars can mean more than expensive jewelry.

-Let her know exactly how you feel. Look within. Exactly what does this woman mean to you? Write it down. Give it to her.

-When you are away, whether it be a business trip, or a vacation with the guys, check in with her. It's just polite! Let her know that although you're having fun, she has crossed your mind.

-Never lose contact for an unreasonable length of time. If you have not seen her for a few days, let her know you are thinking about her. Girls love this.

-Tell her you love her every once in a while. It makes women feel good to know that they are loved.

-Never take her for granted. You'll find you're not making as much of an effort to show her you care, and she WILL notice!

TIPS:

-Showing a woman that you respect and care for the sensual things will go a very long way.

-Always tell her the truth. This will earn you her respect.

-Step in and help her without being asked. Show her that you are there for her.

-Guys are actually very sensitive when it comes down to some things, so some of this may just be common sense.

-Remember that women multitask (i.e. balancing work and family).

-Turn off the TV and turn on the romance!

-Try to take it slow at first to see how she reacts to you and take it from there. Girls like it when you are comfortable around them.

WARNINGS:

-Be sincere in all that you do. Never do something for a woman just because you feel that you are "duty-bound.
"
-Acts of kindness must come from within, never from obligation. You can do it for the right reasons! If you're getting your lady chocolates or food for a special day, be sure to know if she has any allergies.

Women desire all these things but because they live in LaLa land they have difficulty accepting these qualities in a man. They dismiss such a man as a looser and run away from him into the arms of a cold hearted guy. These are fantasies. . .women fantasies.

Now, there is a message in there. The men are going to village to marry. Its a strong statement.
