Politics › Re: SE And SS Unity Is The Key To Fight The Sponsored Yoruba Protest In SW by Obiagu1(m): 1:19am On Jan 16, 2012

I really don't like this co-joined twin of SE/SS. I'd rather go for SE/some SS because the Ijaw are independent and have always been this way and GEJ is Ijaw. I am 1,000% sure that if an Igbo was the President, they will be the first to scream crucify him.

The Igbo have always shown apathy to any national demonstration in the country because we are sincerely not interested in the Nigerian project, so this one is not different; it is not about GEJ or anything similar to it. It's about our calmness and importantly the subsidy removal is a just cause.

We have to be cautious about this marriage because we'll all be left with sour taste in our mouths at the end of the day. I have my strong reservations about GEJ's presidency but will give him the benefit of the doubt until the last day of his tenure. One thing is for sure, Igbos will be left bitter at the end, though we'll not show it because we've gone through this several times and have learnt to be independent of the government and surely we'll not be moved at the end. It's still the same life cycle for us all.

4. It amazes me, when people don't know that:

a) Kalabaris are NOT Ijaws.

Jene jene, gboru Kalabari be furo tu bo so, be bia mine, mbo Ijaw na bo. Omine te ama ogono bu anga ari be apu ma, mie me onimi gbe wurari.

There's no true Kalabari out there that would ever say that he or she is an Ijaw. NEVER!! You go to Buguma, Abonnema, Bakana, Tombia, Degema, Obuama, Bile, Ke, Kula, Old Bakana, Bukuma, and so on, and people would tell you that Kalabaris are most definitely NOT Ijaws. We only got bundled together with the Ijaws as belonging to the same tribe, by the clue-less European colonialists.

What's with this Ijaw agenda? Our neighbours - the Okirikas, Ikwerres and Ibos, even know that Kalabaris are not Ijaws.

You Chameleons, you hide under Ijaw ethnic group to attack, accuse, abuse and insult the Igbos yet you're here claiming Kalabari is not Ijaw.
If Nigeria ever disintegrates, Western Ijaw, Kalabari and Okrika will be in one country, Ijawland, that's my wish and let you guys use treachery kill each other.

Politics › Re: Why Is Eastern Nigeria Silent On Fuel Subsidy Removal? by Obiagu1(m): 8:11pm On Jan 15, 2012

The Igbo have been under "occupy Igbo land" since 1970 with devastating effects. We don't want to give someone another opportunity to send more gwodogwodos to come and pillage our towns and violate our women. We don't think this can happen under GEJ 's watch but we don't wanna take chances.

That fuel was still selling at N65 was news to many Igbo in the southeast. Fuel has been sold in the Igbo enclave for over N100 per liter for many years. Therefore, the Igbo have not been getting subsidized fuel. So why should we protest a policy that tends to equalize or level the playing field?

For the Igbo, it is déjà vu again. The ominous cloud that gathered in 1966 is forming and hovering over Nigeria again. This cloud led to the pogrom against the Igbo for more than 30 days all over Nigeria. Subsequently a civil war ensued and the Igbo lost even more lives.We are still paying the price for this dark cloud that gathered in 1966 and yet another eerily similar cloud is gathering. We have to watch this cloud carefully.

That the goons in the north have again started hunting down mostly Igbo in the north did not receive any attention from labor organizations. Yet people want us to come and occupy Nigeria for their selfish interests. At this point we can't. First of all we are busy yet again burying our people massacred yet again in the north. Further we support GEJ on fuel subsidy removal because it is the right thing to do.

I want to use this opportunity to thank the President of Christian Association of Nigeria, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor for his dogged and selfless defense of Christians who are under siege yet again in the North. These are mostly of Igbo stock.

Finally, we don't want to be baited into a quagmire again and then betrayed. We have seen this game before and we paid for it with our blood sweat and tears. Never again we said in 1970 and we mean it. In Igbo we said "ozoemezina." We don't want to be betrayed again.

If anything is clear from the dark clouds of 1966, it is that the whole south was seen as war booty by the military wing of the caliphate. The southern part of Nigeria was then looted and shared by the generals of the caliphate with some southern fronts and acolytes.

OBJ came saw the shell game but rather than destroying it, he set set up his own subterfuge to benefit from the loot. GEJ could have joined the bandwagon but on this he chose the Path of honor because he has seen the game as nothing but enslavement of the southern people.

GEJ who happens to come from the area that produces most of the looted wealth saw this and wants to dismantle some of these loots that has enslaved the south in perpetuity and you want to occupy Nigeria to forstall this noble goal? Good luck in your quest to occupy Nigeria just count the Igbo out.

In my opinion any southerner that is protesting for the return of status quo is nothing but a fool!

Politics › Nigeria In Geometric Progression by Obiagu1(op): 6:43pm On Jan 15, 2012

Nigeria in geometric ~~progression~~ retrogression.

Nigeria is really showing a "great" sign of a truly "great" Nation.
Just a few years ago, we were traumatised by the increasing number of almajiris (aka street beggars), now we have made a quick progress to "subsidy beggars" which is becoming nationalised and institutionalised.

I wonder what's next?
Any hint?

No, rather say that's the reason you are protesting because you want to protect the oil thieves in your region. Talk of supporting corruption and you want Nigeria to be better.

The protest is ethnically motivated because no sane person would protest against a sound policy.

There's nothing tribal about it. GEJ is not my brother ethnically so how is it tribal?
A sound policy is a sound policy, period!
Some say they should have removed the subsidy over a period of time, but I bet you there will be protest any time a partial removal is done, so it's better dealt with once and for all.

Bye to subsidy, bye to NEPA (PHCN), what next GEJ? I'm waiting optimistically.

Are these not Nigerians or is the removal of subsidies not also affecting their economic activities? Subsidies is bad news, and people are beginning to understand dat.

Subsidy removal in not a bad news, rather it's a good one. Transport fares usually skyrocket after New Year and then goes down again; it has been this way since time immemorial.

People should start looking for ways to profit from the subsidy removal than going on useless strikes and demonstration while they've sat at home and did nothing while our leaders stole our money and even celebrated most of those thieves.

Culture › Re: Which Lineage Should A Mixed Child Take? by Obiagu1(m): 11:19pm On Jan 08, 2012

A mixed child should take his dad's lineage; that's the basic. However, if brought up by his mum in his mum's culture and no one from his dad's side was there during his developmental stage, then he should probably take his mum's lineage because he has not connection with his dad's side. In the latter case, if the mum keeps telling him who he actually is, then indirectly, she is reminding him that he is not part of her culture and should rejoin his father's.

Sometimes, someone's dad may adopt a new culture and reject his original culture, then the child should go along with his dad's new culture he was brought up in.
