Politics / Re: Ndigbo Won’t Be Better Off Seceding From Nigeria – Ohanaeze Advises MASSOB by nehas(m): 9:48pm On Sep 27, 2015
Everyone has been blackmailed into silence in Igboland. Kalu scares his own kinsmen with threats of scandal, "Do you know the information we have on each one of you?" After seeing the manner he mangles his undeclared enemies no right thinking Igbo leader will risk calling him to order as he could blow the trumpet on such a leader. Everyone is afraid and only him talking. That, exactly, is the real danger: The end is truly nigh the moment an entire people tremble under one man who claims a monopoly on truth. Therefore, in the event of breakdown in law and order those who could have prevented it would be judged harshly, and even more so, than the unhappy instigator.

The 1994 Rwanda genocide started with a Hutu radio broadcast urging Hutus to arm themselves against Tutsis demonized as cockroaches, trees, evil, etc. Intelligent Hutus did nothing to counter the dangerous message. When the massacre began they were killed alongside Tutsis by Hutu militias. For one hundred days the nebulous international community folded its hands and did nothing while Tutsi children were hacked with long knives and axes. The question on the lips of civilized men and savages alike was how could people be so heartless axing a man even after he stopped breathing? That is the power of hatred.

Europe also asked the same question. When Nazi propaganda started demonizing European Jews decent Germans did nothing to counter it. Mass hysteria blinded Germans of good conscience from speaking out. Then Adolf Hitler adored as "leader" made the cardinal mistake of overestimating his own strength; the same mistake seen in Kalu who is praised today as "teacher." In the end six million Jews were not only murdered, some fourteen millions died world-wide in the madness.

This could have been averted had Germans themselves exposed Hitler as the greatest threat to his own people. They did no such thing preferring instead to cheer themselves into an early grave. Today, Germans are the wiser. You cannot stand in Berlin and instigate hatred without suffering the consequences. The German government would on its own bring down such a person before the person brings down the roof over everyone's head. Igbos, also known as Ndigbo, must do something about Radio Biafra before it brings down the roof over their heads.

To condemn Kalu's insults is to confirm Ndigbo's confidence in those he maligned; especially Yorubas who have the grace to appoint Igbos into their state governments, Hausas, Okorocha and former Governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi. As decent people Ndigbo hold Buhari, in particular, in great honour while leaving his legacy since 1962 when he joined the military for posterity to judge. Kalu's opinion does not reflect Ndigbo's. Obviously the collective sin of these people was in removing former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan from office. But there is a second truth about them which Kalu would rather not entertain in his monologue of ignorance. Let's take a look at the immense contributions of two of his victims-Professor Wole Soyinka and Okorocha, to the survival of Ndigbo.

Soyinka openly condemned the Igbo Holocaust of 1967-1970. So vocal was this great mind that Gen. Yakubu Gowon personally ordered his imprisonment without trial. A free Soyinka was a danger to the establishment so he was locked away in the far North. Then the killings escalated to a maddening frenzy. Alone in his lonely cell Soyinka continued to defend Igbos by writing his powerful "The Man Died" on rolls of toilet paper which he smuggled out to his publishers. He was awarded a Nobel Prize for literature because this powerful novel profiles man's irrepressible spirit against the forces of darkness. Anywhere on the earth surface Soyinka is studied the names "Biafra" and "Ibo" are hotly debated on account of this brilliant literature.

One would have expected a research-based Radio Biafra to acknowledge Soyinka's rare courage and not vilify him. Soyinka is not the only Yoruba son to stick out his neck for Ndigbo, did the great Col. Francis Fajuyi not pay the supreme sacrifice protecting our own son Gen. JTU Aguiyi-Ironsi? Hearing the collective scorn Radio Biafra pours on Yorubas would break the hearts of those Fajuyi left behind.

Before becoming governor Okorocha trained thousands of indigent Igbo children in his elite secondary schools free of charge. Meaning that with the exception of Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, very few Igbos surpassed Okorocha in the advancement of Ndigbo. If Ndigbo deem it fit to elect him governor who is Kalu to call Okorocha a Hausa? Okorocha is an Igbo man, as long as one or both of his parents are Igbo. Odumegwu-Ojukwu himself set a precedent when he publicly endorsed Okorocha as "my son." By this pronouncement any child born of a single/married Igbo mother and non-Igbo father is automatically an Igbo man. Progressive Igbos are ever on the forward march and never backward.

I now warn of an imminent crisis should any Igbo man or woman continue to be discriminated against under any subterfuge. In Igboland we are all equal because I know where Radio Biafra is headed. Kalu is dangerous branding Okorocha unfit to sit on a traditional ruler's stool. What stops him from broadcasting tomorrow that this senator or that professor cannot be crowned a traditional ruler because his great grandfather was a cook in the colonial army? Ndigbo whole hearted apologize to Okorocha for Kalu's insults. The ways of Chukwu Okike Abiama, whom Kalu loves to invoke, are strange as He often turns the rejected pillar into the corner stone.

As with Kalu, so are certain Hausas and Yorubas who stir up anti-Igbo sentiments for political gains. Before former President Olusegun Obasanjo and Gen. Theophilus Danjuma some high-profile Yorubas repeatedly insulted Ndigbo as "traitors" and "rebels," only to be rewarded by the duo. Those in the habit of calling Ironsi a "drunken general" should be held fully accountable for what is happening today. Ironsi could not be a useless desk top general since he earned his ranks under British officers on merit rather than catchment.

Ndigbo will not give or take insults. The burden is on Hausa and Yoruba leaders to clamp down on Igbo haters as necessary step to neutralizing Radio Biafra. The relentless attack on peace loving Igbos fuels the hatred on Radio Biafra. That is why Kalu can never be convicted in the International Criminal Court, ICC, without first convicting his tormentors. He is the victim and not the victimizer. Northern emirs know it. Yoruba obas know it. And Buhari himself knows it.

But Kalu must be isolated as he has no place in the scheme of things for his indiscretion. Compare his outbursts with Goddy Uwazurike's cold reasoning or Ralph Uwazurike's non-violent approach. What Kalu saw and called for armed struggle, informed Isaiah Chukwuemekaobi saw and called for calm. Kalu's defeat in any contest is guaranteed as his opponents know how to make him fall upon his own sword in anger. Such predictable entity is hardly a leadership material for besieged Igbos who must live by camouflage, or what WEB du Bois called patent defence.

For his intellectual foreclosure Kalu must be urgently isolated. He has closed his mind to other possibilities as his revolution has one aim alone-Biafra or nothing. What about alternate Igbo President? His means is violence even though revolution can be accomplished by dialogue. His process is immediate but trend analysis suggests the birth of a new nation often takes time. A necessary condition for every successful revolution is diplomacy where you recruit allies, or friendly countries and institutions, to back your nationalist project. But Biafra has no allies within and without Africa as Kalu paints everyone with the same grotesque brush. He insults every nation, nationality and creed. Power is dangerous in his hands as he is a poor revolutionary.

Ndigbo refused to be lured into a generational war. Igbo children are not going to the war front again. They are going to world-class universities where power flows from. A handful of Iranian graduates recently forced the world Super Powers to negotiate at the nuclear roundtable. Believe it or not "cowardly" Yorubas, not "brave" Igbos, are closer to where Iran is today. Yoruba children rule today because their wise parents preferred to be a live dog to a dead lion; they refused to war-war over June 12.

Ndigbo must rethink strength and weakness, and even Biafra and Nigeria. In this revaluation they must remember the wisdom of their own son Chinua Achebe: How often do we stand in the house of a coward to point out the ruins of what used to be a strong man's home?

Oh my w****
Don’t Look Like An Bunghole

You know, scratch everything that we said before. Seriously. Who cares? They’re your selfies anyway, aren’t they? Who are we to tell you what you should or shouldn’t do? There’s just one important message that we’d like to get across, something that we think all selfie-takers should know. It’s kind of like the golden rule of taking selfies: Try not to look like an asshole. Otherwise, you’ll end up looking like this person up above!

Fashion / Re: Selfie Gone Horribly Wrong by nehas(m): 7:51pm On Apr 16, 2015
Senior madness!
It Might Take a Minute…

You might want to let this one simmer for a moment, as it might take a minute or two to figure out what’s wrong with the picture above. It’s just a guy taking a selfie while stirring a big delicious pot of chili right? That’s certainly the case. But, look closer. What kind of kitchen has a giant mirror in it? And… That doesn’t look like the kind of sink you’d find in a kitchen! That’s right, this man moved his stove into the bathroom.

Framing is Important

Just ask any big-shot Hollywood director, and they’ll tell you. When you’re trying to line up the perfect shot, you have to carefully consider what’s going to be in the frame and what’s going to be outside of the frame. Here, we see a woman who’s doing almost everything right. She’s got a good pose, she looks cute, and she’s got the mirror to take the selfie in. The problem is that she didn’t account for the bottom of the frame!

Fashion / Re: Selfie Gone Horribly Wrong by nehas(m): 6:45pm On Apr 16, 2015
Watch Out For Mom

It’s like Will Smith and DJ Jazzy Jeff said way back in the day – before Will Smith was the “movie star” you know him as today: “Parents just don’t understand.” This is an important concept to remember when you’re snapping your selfies. You might be trying to send a sexy Miley Cyrus style selfie to that the guy you have a totally major crush on only to have mom appear in the doorway with her disapproving stare. Now what’ve you got?

Fashion / Re: Selfie Gone Horribly Wrong by nehas(m): 6:40pm On Apr 16, 2015
That's wat I called a big f*** up
3.Clear the Area!

Unless you’re not taking your selfies from a really close angle, you’re necessarily going to include some of your surroundings in the picture. That’s why it’s so important to make sure that you clear the area of anything that might be considered embarrassing. Did you not notice what’s going on in this selfie yet? Well, then take a look at the countertop. Notice anything next to the watch? Oops!

2.Mirrors Reflect Absolutely





The main culprit behind selfies that go horribly wrong are mirrors. People seem to not pay much attention to what they’re reflecting, especially when the mirror in question is reflecting what another mirror is reflecting. Unfortunately for the participants in this selfie, they happened to catch their friend sitting upon the porcelain throne. Remember, kids: Be very careful when there are multiple mirrors in play!

Fashion / Selfie Gone Horribly Wrong by nehas(m): 6:28pm On Apr 16, 2015
Let start 1. You Look Like Crap






It’s possible that you may not notice what’s gone horribly wrong with this selfie until you look at it for a minute… Did you notice it yet? Yeah… This is, we suppose, the danger of taking selfies in the bathroom. A lot of weird stuff goes on in bathrooms, which you just might happen to catch in the frame. So, let this be a lesson to you, kids: Always flush before you take your selfies!
