Amaka, come to Houston for UIU next weekend and I'll put a ring on it. Lol

next weekend? didn't know it was that soon. . .
ahhhhhh, maybe next year. 

Amaka, u are not coming? Ugh!!! I am shattered. *picks up his broken heart*

That was a very interesting read actually.

Biafra functioned as a better state even while under attack, blockader, bombardment, while Nigeria with all the support is still a failed state. What Biafrans achieved be it in technology in the 6 months to 3 yrs is what Nigeria can't even dream of achieving in the past 50 years of existence.

Mind you, but what technology achievement happened during those 3 years of freedom?

And you must cease in thinking that other Nigerians like the way Nigeria is being run. Nigeria is everybody, Biafran, Yorubas, Benins, Edos etc. . . .in each heart that beat, we want freedom and justice. I personally want my state/ppl departed from Nigeria, so I understand what you feel.

Truth is NOBODY has forgotten the consequences of the war . . . . NOBODY has forgiven . . . .

you're funny.

anyway, arent you hausa?

this is ekiti state:



or are you going with becomerich's benin republic?

i think you're very confused, and that's putting it mildly.

oh, i get it- you want ekiti to team up with biafra. Well, we shall see.

**from marrying igbo husband to turning ekiti into igboland- you certainly dont cut corners**

I thought your skin is made of metal. I never knew you were a closet separatist too.

So, there you go! lol. I understand you more now.

A simple desire and wish does not necessarily mean I'm going to try to cut ekiti state out of the map and paste it next to Indonesia. C'mon tpia

But I still pray and will continue to do that.

^^just following your mindset here.

and what exactly makes you think biafra is nirvana?

because igbo people are your heroes?

anyway, most of your nl posts about nigeria dont really show any indepth knowledge of the place, beyond complaining about every single thing you see there.


good luck!

tensor777:

^^Well well well.That post just confirms his own reactionary, retrogressive views. There is nothing foresighted or original in his contribution.

You couldn't be more wrong.

I see Udezues words as a cry from deep within that is better listened to. It is the sort of cry that Nigeria ignores at her own peril; Udezue's generation (and they are millions) was born after the civil war, they have no first hand experience of the war. . . Yet the war is seared deep in their conciousness. That alone tells me that there is something terribly wrong with the Nigerian enterprise.

a. What is wrong with having equity in our country?
b. What is wrong with having a civil war memorial?
c. What is wrong with including the unbiased accounts of the civil war in our primary and secondary school curriculums in ways that remind of the errors
   that led to the war, so that they are never repeated?
d. What is wrong with having true federalism and ditching our unequal unitary system?

In the past, it was mostly the Igbo's that cried about being marginalised. Today, it has extended to the Niger Delta and the Middle Belt. Even in areas where there are fewer cries of marginalisation, such as Yoruba land, the cries for true federalism are getting bolder and stronger. Something is fundamentally wrong and the whole Nigerian structure is creaking at the seams; lets put away our usual fixes of puny plasters and weak bandages, it is time to haul out the heavy machinery and fix the structure of the country.

A stitch in time saves nine.

^^redundant topic.

Anyway, to help calm nerves here:

C’River denies ceding Obudu ranch to Cameroon[/size]


Cross River State Government has debunked the rumour making-the-round that the state would soon lose its prime tourism centre, Obudu Mountain Resort to the Cameroonian government.

Debunking the story in a statement signed by the Chief Press Secretary(CPS), to the state governor, Patrick Ugbe, the state government said that there was no iota of truth in the report, pointing out that Obudu resort was never part of the settlement deal between Nigerian and Cameroon.

The state government described the rumour as a malicious fabrication to undermine the giant strides being taken by the state government in the tourism industry. The statement noted that the Nigerian-Cameroon boundary in the vicinity of the Obudu Cattle Ranch was clearly defined and falls within Anglo-German pillar 100 and 101.

“The delineation of the boundary line on satellite image map covering the whole boundary length made by the JTT using the agreement does not put Obudu Cattle Ranch or any of its parts in the Republic of Cameroon.
“Also, during the field tracing, the ranch was found to be entirely in Nigeria territory. We submit further that though the Obudu mountain range stretch from Nigeria to Cameroon, the portion of this range in Nigeria is what constitutes Obudu Cattle Ranch,” the statement explained.

Government, according to the statement had upgraded the resort and placed it under the management of African Sun in 2008, in order to reposition it for excellent services. The government condemned the rumour in strong terms, particularly, coming at a time the people of the state were still lamenting the ceding of Bakassi to the Cameroon while warning those peddling such rumour to desist from it.

According to the statement, the state government and the people of the state would resist any attempt to cede any of its territory to any country or state in Nigeria.

Yea. So everybody calm down. Hold your horses.

have a little self-respect.

this is what happens when you do nothing but complain all the time and make daft comparisons in ignorance.

I noticed you were scheming to have Nigeria build similar ranches in other parts of Nigeria. You argued that other states also have similar geographic features.
You miss the point.
The point is how long would Nigeria keep ceding her territory to a foreign country?

Do you think location matters?

I don't. So, you better fix up your country before someone "designs" it for you.

,  and please[b] tpiah[/b], please take it easy on Ileke-Idi. She is entitled to wish the best for her people.

She is one decent lady though we disagree sometimes.

Faeb:

I see Udezues words as a cry from deep within that is better listened to.

Actually  I don't really have the time and inclination to go into a game of political pointscoring with  well known reactionaries like Ezeuche and Udezue on this forum.

Their views strike a chord with their target audience no doubt but that is because they appeal to base human sentiment as opposed to the intellect.

do you have a problem with the bolded?

do other states not have similar geographic features, or what's annoying you there.



nigeria cant keep begging anybody to stay or leave, simple.

cameroon cant just come out of nowhere to start claiming parts of nigeria, if some nigerians arent egging her on.

so while some areas are seesawing and deciding if they're this or that, the rest of nigeria doesnt have to put everything on hold while they make up their minds.

plz- i am not angry at you.

it would just be better if you perhaps stuck to romance or some other section, because some of your views in certain areas, are mind boggling.

i really dont know how to better help you understand what i'm saying.

You would be surprised how little role intellect plays in things like war. Self preservation is the first law of nature and most times it is controlled by base instincts.
People who fight wars act based on "base human sentiment". If that is not the case, Nigeria would not have waged a war against Biafra. There was no reason to. Everything that happened could have been resolved through dialogue.

So my friend, you may have to reconsider.

If Cameroun ever engages Nigeria in a war, intellect may take the back seat. That is why you should listen to my voice of reason instead of foreclosing any chance of dialogue.

Let me guess, If I had said something like "4K you guys and Biafra" or "Man eating Igbos", you'd have welcomed me to the politics table?

Ma'am, what I as not taught for 20 yrs will not be taught to me within months that I have been on this section.

No, I've admitted, times and times again that I do not know much about Nigeria, but it would not stop me from learning and airing my views. That [b]IS [/b]how you learn and correct mistaken assumptions.

Now I hold much respect for you and yours, so I'm going to stop replying you henceforth.
