mickjagger: So just this year alone, Nigerians are being deported en masse from South Africa, Kenya, China, India, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Tunisia, Botswana, Zambia, USA, UK, Portugal, Spain, Ireland, you name it.

These are countries in Africa, Asia, Europe, Americas-i.e the world.

At some point, the question must be asked, does the world have a problem or do Nigerians have a problem

Of course the problem is with Nigeria -a country that cannot protect her own anywhere, home or abroad!
Believe me, the greatest criminals in the world are not even African, but you DARE NOT touch them.

eGuerrilla: How true is the emboldened statement?

They are buying our CRUDE OIL and we DON'T NEED THEM TO BUY -THEY HAVE TO BUY! So, they are NOT doing us any favors by buying our crude oil. They are probably cursing us as they pay for it each time, and will dump us should they find any alternative.

What I'm really alluding to is the fact that Nigerian economy is NEAR virgin and with HUGE opportunities.
The Indians (and other Asians ) see these opportunities, believe me.

Aigbofa: Sad to watch. When you tell these people to stay away from crimes, especially in foreign countries, they will tell you people from your tribe also commit crimes in America.
Oh well.

People like you refuse to learn, and you do so with a very self immolating mindset.
How many Indians have you lynched or assaulted in the streets of Nigeria for whatever reasons?
Are you saying that we don't have Indian criminals in Nigeria?
I just recaliberated your IQ and subtracted some points!

I don't encourage any Nigerian to go to live in a flea infested country such as India. Nevertheless my anger rests with the Nigerian government that cannot (or do not want to) defend her citizens around the world.
Methinks that there is more for India and Indians to gain from Nigeria than Nigerians gaining from India.
That is all the information I need to design a policy that would make these types of actions by countries against Nigerians very costly.

Nna let this election come and go so that we can regain our sanity and peace in Anambra state once more.
My only prayer is that the election MUST NOT BE RIGGED.
That's all.

That Scotish referendum will be a watershed in history and serve as a SOLID guide to more conflict ridden countries.
The British are already saying that Scotish independence will have security implications. lmao.
The same mindset that led to genocide in Biafra.
Watching the referendum with hands akimbo.

I don't think it is enough to keep Nigeria united. That is what all the other presidents before you did.
What you need to do is to make Nigeria FUNCTIONAL, one way or the other.

Of course Africa exists.

What doesn't exist anymore in real sense is Pan Africanism. It existed in the rest of Africa up to 1991 or so.

South Africans never had real Pan Africanism; what they had (and still have) is Pan BLACK South Africanism misconstrued as Pan Africanism.
When they sing "Nkosi sikeleli Africa" what they mean is God bless Black South African nation.
A lot of other Africans misunderstood them and gave help in their time of need. Of course this was never understood and reciprocated by the South Africans.

Anyway back to the topic.

Julius Nyerere set up an African economic system in Tanzania. It still endures.

Other African countries are pulled in different directions by foreign countries dominating their local economies.
Some are still openly being run by their ex-colonial masters (the francophones for ex).

Until a Nyerere rises in a powerful African country like Nigeria, Africa will remain disunited and pulled in directions that make the continent appear disparate.

@alex101

As for those who lie and say that Igboland cannot contain Ndigbo, I just laugh.
The other day I was watching the video of a drive from Owerri to Onitsha through the new Owerri/Onitsha express way.
Boy, all I could see on both side of the road was VAST empty lands! lol

I don't know what abagworo smokes sometimes. lol

alex101: The moral of this whole story is: nature abhors vacuum!

When you leave your place, others will take over,,,,some of them may be criminals. We're all over the place and that's why the likes of Peter Obi, Theodore Orji, Martin Elechi, Rochas Okorocha, et.al have been ruining Igboland. Folks (myself included) have to start doing what I call "think home mentality".

I've read with utter dismay how some Igbo peeps brag about developing other people's land,,,forgetting that charity begins at home. As far as the dungeon called nigeria is concern, there is nothing like "no man's land". Even Oliver D' Coque had a song that says; Ana ewe obodo ewe, ewere n'di we obodo ewe.

The likes of abagworo, and the rest of them shameless folks that keep lying to the world that Igboland isn't big enough should forever bury their heads in shame. I have criss-crossed the entire Igboland and I can state that less than 1/3 of Igboland is what is currently occupied. There sre still vast land, unoccupied.

I'm just glad that some true Igbo sons are documenting these things, so that Peter Obi don't go scot free.

Documentation and gathering/saving of evidence is the key to bringing extra judicial killers to justice.
Peter Obi thinks he can escape justice, but I doubt that.
He thinks that hanging around Jonathan all the time will save him after he leaves office. I doubt that as well.
When the time comes for him to account, no one will touch him with a long poll: it will be every man to himself.

When the arms of justice snags at Peter Obi, he will likely hand over the men that pulled the trigger!
That is why it is VERY foolish to listen to politicians to commit crimes against humanity.

NRI PRIEST: Sound so to you because you don't know Obi,very well. He is very forthright. He personally asked Obaze to come home and he(Obaze) left his well paying job at the UN,took a pay cut to come work for Anambra. These men have integrity....not some cutthroat politicians.

Well, it will all end on November 16, and Obiano better not lose.
Else we shall nail Obi to a wall with rusted nails!

oily+Yoruba:
My brother, one of them even said the "internationalization" of the Akanu Ibiam airport will kill local carriers . How low and petty can these people get?

LMAO. I saw it.
Now, they changed the music to "corruption".
Funny bunch.

Dudu_Negro: If APGA win this election a big inferno awaits Anambra. See you in 14days...

NOPE!

Ain't gonna happen. We don't live in hell.

Worst case, you will be shot at sight.

NRI PRIEST: He didn't have a voters Id. He admitted it and stepped aside,like a gentleman.

Sounds fishy and funny to me that that is the only reason.

NRI PRIEST: My issue with Ifeanyi Uba isn't about his inability to speak fluent English,rather his plans on how to move Anambra to a greater height. So,for those who are saying they prefer Uba to Obiano you mean no good for my state.

Addition:Uba need to know this. You don't need to be a governor before you become the most powerful man in Anambra. Focuse on your business and power will surely come your way.

I agree with this bolded part of your post. If I were Uba, that is exactly what I would do.
I had thought he would focus on his business first.
I value business more than politics, though political power is the ultimate power.
He can get that later.

Sir Louis Phillip Odumegwu Ojukwu is my role model in that sense.

NRI PRIEST: Ada,even if Soludo was cleared he still couldn't have won the primaries. Remember Obi's right hand man was there,OBAZE. Soludo has no followers in Apga. There is no way he could have won the primaries after joining the party at the eleventh hour. Moreover,Obaze is more qualified and tested than Soludo.

Biko,let support Obiano and move forward. No need crying over a spilt milk.

Why was Obaze disqualified?

oily+Yoruba:
@ Sam_Ikenna, tell us something we don't know already. It's unfortunate most nigerians don't know (or feign ignorance) as to who looted the entire treasury. The yari.bas and their hausa/fulani masters did most (if not all) of the MAJOR looting. They went to work, using the media to hoodwink gullible nigerians.

Stella's only crime was the Enugu international airport, which the boko haram party APC had vowed to shut down if they take power from GEJ.

The real truth!

NRI PRIEST: Since when did the Eze-Igbo start believing anything written by anybody on NL ?

Amarozikwom your way.

Odenigbo, can you tell me in all honesty that you are not worried that APGA might lose this election?
Biko be honest.

We didn't have to be guessing this election, at all.

oily+Yoruba:
Ndi ofe ajoka men!

hehehe!

Katsumoto: Only 2 hours but you came back. Shouldn't you be busy?

Of course I'm still VERY BUSY and will leave again.
But I bet you will be here till I get back.

Omo, do you have a life at all?

Na wa o.

Look at these losers o!
So, I must live here like you just to keep you company? I was here for two hours straight (the longest I've been here this week), and do you know what two hours mean to my life?
Chineke me!

Guys, I have a LIFE, y'know FAMILY, FRIENDS, VISITORS... it is WEEKEND and I need to use it for REAL SOCIAL THINGS, not live here like you useless folks.

If I manage to give you one hour of my time, be very grateful.

I was here for two hours and y'all ran away and hid until I left.
That goat called Shymex only braved to step in after I left.

Umu ofe.

Anyway, this is the point I leave the thread once more... duty calls!

Signing off,

Yours truly,

Onlytruth!

Katsumoto: Yeah, they should forget someone that is currently accused and start discussing those who cases occurred 30 years ago and who have since had judgement passed on them. Perhaps the world should be discussing German aggression during WW2 instead of the menace posed by Alqeada.

Someone with your IQ will be a drag on a law class!
Tufia.

If Nazi war criminals had their way into the UN, or even dominant news media, I tell you that holocaust victims will be serving jail terms!

Aigbofa: [b]You will agree with me that Stella Oduah is propably the biggest one caught in a long time. [/b]Why are you all protecting her and not help in exposing her like you claimed.
Even the obviously lying Cosharis guy is being defended! Can ibos do any wrong?

Apparently your usual blindness to theft by your tribesmen make you say the bolded.
You totally ignored the list released by Sam_Ikenna ... as usual. lmao.

Stella Oduah is not even an accused. She is merely a victim of an invidious rumour fanned by the Lagos-Ibadan evil press axis.

When you want to start fighting corruption in Nigeria, please start at Ibadan.
Thank you!

Aigbofa: What is their business getting involved in a corruption case?
She's ibo therefore she cannot steal? Perhaps they believe Lagos press and Yoruba are out to get their daughter?

They did not get involved. That is my point.
Lagos-Ibadan axis' job is to protect the biggest thieves in Nigeria and pillory the innocent or merely accused ones.
Ours is to expose the biggest thieves and fight for innocent or merely accused ones.
We are working at cross opposites.

Katsumoto:

You started round one and lost that round.

Now you have started round two and its not sure for you.

You have listed 4 government parastatals when there are approximately 100 parastatals covering Economic, Media, communications, Energy, Law Enforcement, Sports, etc.

Given that most Nigerian agencies have corruption embedded in them, four is not representative for the exercise you want to conduct. One can easily accuse of being selective in the information you are presenting; If you want to be free of bias and bigotry, you should present information for ALL agencies. You shouldn't limit yourself to only those agencies that appeared to have failed. Most have failed but are running regardless.

Lastly, when you have shown that non-Igbos are also guilty of corruption, would you then argue that Oduah should be left alone?

No, we are talking about the AVIATION sector, the same place where you and your folks have been barking like wild dogs baying for the blood of an innocent Igbo woman doing her appointed job and transforming a sector that was already sucked to death by your bloodsucking thieving brothers.

Your attempt at changing the discourse will fail as usual.

Atulu ofe.

musiwa112: are the ijaw better off, been with igbos . I think they are not been sincere with themself. they dont know that Jonathan is the last and only ijaw man that will ever been president of nigeria.

So vice president to Igbo in eastern nigeria is better than ZERO president in the future of Nigeria. they went from 1 minister to president. and they dont know they are better off, been vice president of eastern nigeria, than remain in nigeria in their future. with ZERO president. Do they think Jonathan will remain there forever.

Una go hear wen. Instead of using this chance for his people future.. jujuman for in village they worry him.

You know wetin french man call Breakamuwa. it mean break it.

Musiwa the great!

Aigbofa: You are wrong, there's nothing like a typical Yoruba and non typical Yoruba. If Obasanjo was ibo and Okey Ndibe was Yoruba, Ohananze Ndigbo would have alleged a Yoruba plot to bring their son down and most ibos would have agreed.

So, did you hear Ohanaeze say that they back Stella unconditionally?
Please leave Ohanaeze alone.

The battle is between Lagos -Ibadan evil press axis, and Ndigbo ONLINE.

Katsumoto: Selective analysis always.

I saw lists that are representative of all Nigerian groups.

Has anyone argued that there are no thieves in all parts of Nigeria?

It selected the TOP THIEVES.
What is discriminatory about it?

Sam_Ikenna: My interest is to show how agencies are destroyed by entrenched interests. If I wanted it to be different I would have presented a damning expose on few top shorts that are regarded as the worst offenders in the history of Nigeria. guess what? that list has about 25 Nigerians and it doesn't even have one single Igbo Name. In fact the most damning report is on MKO Abiola.

Taking that route would have been a cheap-shot and I wont do that. I made a U-turn and decided to bring up the group that destroyed our national prized assets. That list is a sneak-peak of how stuff is sheared in Nigeria grass-root wise. The truth about Nigeria is simple and you can reject it if you want to - the more you go up the thieving-ladder the fewer Igbos and South South you see. Prove me wrong me if I'm lying.

GOSPEL TRUTH!

I would have loved to see that list, not because I did not know, but because of the less informed about Nigeria.
The same people that accuse us of theft are the thieves.

Aigbofa: How many Yoruba solidarity groups was hastily put together to protest against the prosecution of these people?
For eight solid years, Okey Ndibe wrote only about Obasanjo. Week after week, nobody said he had an ethnic agenda.
I wonder what will happen if you eventually you get your ibo President. I guess all his critics will automatically be labelled tribalists out to get your kinsman.
Yeah, those people may be thieves but they faced justice. The same standard should apply to Stella Odua.

Obasanjo was not your typical Yoruba, and you know it.
That is why he used all the powers of state to win reelection even in his own state.
OBJ has other problems than tribalism. I'm not saying he was totally free of it, but he was not your typical Yoruba like Fani Kayode.
That is why he was not defended by the Lagos-Ibadan evil press axis!

Sam_Ikenna: No way.

Few visited the EFCC, thats it. No money, nada.

Nothing has happened to them, and NOTHING will happen to them because they attack first before anyone notices,
and they make the most noise to obfuscate facts and hoodwink unsuspecting folks.
But anyi mu anya ka azu! -our eyes are as open as fish eyes!
