Osiris.212:
Tell the Ibos what they want and they are all yours to be fuc'kd. First, it was Asari and now FFK. . . .all it took GEJ to get 98% of their votes is  "Azikwe" he added to his middle name. How a single statement throw them into trance with multiple  or.gasm is what I can't comprehend.

Little wonder Ojukwu gave IBB "Ikechukwu" cos he understands how slow his people are. Pitiable!

And who is following Fani Kayode to make him king of Igboland?
The man spoke the simple truth. Why is that such a big deal to you?

The funny thing is that an average Igbo can count at least TWO MAJOR anti Igbo policies by Awolowo: (1) starvation as weapon of war; (2) 20 pounds policy after the war; yet there are still Igbos who call him hero.
What did Ojukwu do wrong to an average Yoruba that would make him hate Ojukwu in the first place? NOTHING.
So, you see, only those with serious prejudice or tribal hatred towards his people Ndigbo, would extend such hate to him.
I will make a simple prophetic statement now.
If you cannot celebrate a distant hero, believe me, you can NEVER celebrate a local one.
Ojukwu remains the most celebrated Nigerian today. FACT.
Now, go figure why. 

Dudu_Negro:
dude, I said who is Hosiah Emmanuel?   I have plenty to supply you. . . . first let us establish credibility for the sources of the information we are providing.  I provided information from the son of a witness, Ibime, you all said he is not credible and brought Hosiah Emmanuel.  So[b] I have many more sources to bring and since you question credibility of those who speak the truth. . . then let's lay the credibility for each of our sources online here for everyone to see.  [/b]


Please, tell audience who Hosiah Emmanuel is.  I have never heard of anyone say pointedly who killed Boro, they always say he died or was killed mysteriously or was killed in suspicious circumstances.  Even Ibime refrained from saying who killed him.   But Emmanuel knows for sure who killed him, then let us see who this Emmanuel is.  He quoted Obasanjo on what, . . . that Adekunle killed Boro?

This will likely be my last post on this thread.
If you have REAL PROOF with sources, OPEN A NEW THREAD.
I'm outta here.

Let me just say that sometimes I dream that a Yoruba son will rise to demonstrate the type of Ojukwu's courage/vision/toughness.
Tunde Idiagbon did a little of that (though some say he wasn't really Yoruba), OBJ is a coward (I never took him serious because he carefully avoided all tough wars and faced only weak opponents). Idiagbon was nevertheless a hero to MANY Igbo sons. Let's say for example that an Idiagbon decided to face off with the Hausa/Fulani in Nigeria, why won't I an Igbo son adopt him as my hero and sing his praises to high heavens? 

I don't know how some are struggling with this. 

^^

Remember that I warned you to produce concrete proof. You did not!
Realchange provided something and even quoted Obasanjo in that write up by "Hosiah Emmanuel".
If you have something better, show us.
BTW all that came from the same link you supplied.

When is APGA conducting its national convention?
The sooner the better so that new officials would be elected to move the party forward.
The party must at least take over ALL the SE states. After that, we move SS and then NC.
It will be an epic battle, but it is duable. NCNC did it, so can APGA.

Da infamous:
same as his NL brothers that why they jump into igbo threads like no tomorrow WOW is it that bad

My brother most of Nairaland Yorubas aren't really their brightest. That is really the sad truth.
Apart from ekt-bear who disappoints me sometimes by playing low life alongside certified thugs, I don't even see the rest as intelligent enough to engage an average Igbo on Nairaland.  

It is very refreshing and indeed inspiring to see that there are Yoruba men who take Ojukwu as their hero and idol.
I know MANY Igbo men who take Awo as theirs (Jan 1966 coup plotters being the leaders of such men), as well as other great Yoruba men like Fela, and the rest of the Ransome Kuti family, the Great professor Wole Soyinka, and other Yoruba sons who fought for Biafra.
Some of us Nigerians even have people like Nelson Mandela, Thomas Sankara, and Jerry Rawlings as our heroes. It only makes us better humans when we choose lofty men as role models. Tribalism is really petty and for small minds when issues of role models and heroes take center stage.
A lot of Northern Nigerian men missed great opportunities to become heroes and legends when they abused the opportunity of the July 1966 coup.
They allowed pettiness to deny them of greatness.

Well, YOU ARE WELCOME bro Fani Kayode!
You are my brother in Ojukwu!  

ekt_bear:
Even Burundi.

Lmao.

i'm choking with laughter here

Maybe laughter is the only thing that can keep one from crying

hehehe! You remind me of Fela's " i de looku i de laffu".

Negro, since you have been THOROUGHLY taken to school by my bro realchange, I don't see any need to continue this conservation. So I consider it CLOSED.

@bro realchange,

Thanks a lot bro.
Anyi ji unu agala.

Dudu_Negro:
. . . to those of you talking about your oil. We are not on Delta oil or Rivers or Bayelsa oil. We are on Nigerian oil and you lack the authority and power to evict us from the treasure. If you dont want us on Nigerian oil, then dissolve Nigeria, if you can. . . afterall it's your son at the helms of power. Why cant he take your so called oil and keep it just for your use?

hehehe! I de laff.

Well, what can I saw my friend; what can I say?
Never say never though.

Dudu_Negro:
Ezeigbo,

. . . would you like me to open a new topic and discuss Adaka Boro. . . . his abuse and murder by Biafrans?   Let me know, I can open the can for open deliberation.

If you have VALID AND CONCRETE FACTS, you are welcome to open it.  
Isn't it why we are here? lol

I have to caution you not to post lies here though.

Simple way to look at it is that these two cornered all oil blocks after winning the war.
It is all about the civil war; but I thank God that the Ijaw are beginning to ask some hard questions.
Let's wait for about 5 more years when Anambra oil would be fully pumping (and Ijaw take back some of their oil blocks), then we can recalculate.

Sam_Ikenna:
Nwanne slow down, there is a way to love and defend Yoruba without going too far. Ur Id implies "Odua Soldier" and its good you're one but don't be one with so much malice, hate, and bigotry. Ijaw's history spans over 10 to 20 thousand years, if not more, and they deserve a little bit of your respect. Like I said, you need to cool off.

Onlytruth nwanne m, I haven't 4gotten to respond to the issue of Massob you raised. I would respond to it and other things via email. I had your Eze Igbo Nairaland email b4 but cant find it again. I'll appreciate if you post your email once more.

Chukwu gozie gi ma gozie kwa umuigbo.

My brother the email is ezendigbo_nl@hushmail.com
Looking forward to your mail.

Dede1:
Why are southerners so naïve about Nigeria and what it represents? Nigeria is a funny entity for goodness sake. The Fulani, Hausa and Kanuri have known for a long time Nigeria is a practical joke and had behaved to form. They have deceived all the ethnic groups in Nigeria to believe Igbo were the dangerous breed and were very much out to dominate others. My headache is Ndigbo seemed to have fallen into the slumber trap and have forgotten that internal vigilant is solution to deceptive foreign aggressor.

Seven years ago, I read a detailed essay by Col Umar in which he warned the people of southern Kaduna, Middle Belt and other southerners to look out for future incidences of incursion in their t[b]erritories by certain elements in Nigeria. It is absolutely funny to see southerners label these raids as handiwork of Fulani herdsmen. These so-called unprovoked raids are litmus tests to check the resilience of certain group of people. What is happening is well-coordinated scheme with a pattern and path. Atlantic Ocean is the destination of this ominous scheme.  [/b]

[b]Ndigbo must, as a matter of urgency, developed tactics for ruthless pre-emptive measures to stale the southward schemes in disguise as isolated Fulani herdsmen attacks. States in Igbo land must decreed all cattle destined to markets states Igbo land must be transported. [/b]Anybody who did not heel to the law must be an unfortunate road kill.

I powerfully agree with all the bolded words!

They should take their apologies and shove it waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay up their @ss.
We just missed an opportunity to deal with these ingrates.
Anyway, I can bet you that they would repeat it again, VERY SOON.

Nayah:
Onlytruth lol "you're stuggling"?? quite curious while you've already answered to previous comments
Actually[b] I'm a French Cameroonian and Tanzanian lady [/b]

And I am an American/Biafran/Nigerian.
What is so hard to understand about that, since you yourself have three nationalities? lol

Nayah:
Only truth in fact I was answer for the others who like to be agressive while you have an opinion about Nigeria even when you're a Non Nigerian, but as Afam4ever has answer properly I just want to thank him

I am struggling to understand your English. Are you not a Camerounian?

Nayah:
Sincerly I'm not seeing southern Nigeria joining Cameroon just because it would be weird, I have one map on Nigeria in my head and separation is not a solution for me, plus what makes you think they would adapt easily in Cameroon?

No, I asked the question because of what you said below:

Nayah:
Thanks Afam4ever, for the others I'm not going to argue with you becuae this is not the goal: I'm as insteresting as the situation of Senegal as Nigeria simply because I care for my continent, and there's nothing to do with my country which has its problem that I know

Thanks

This is what afam said:

afam4eva:
In 20 years there will be no Nigeria. I wonder why easterners did not join Cameroon during the NCNC days. Our lives would have been better by now.

I hope you understand now.

At last we may soon start to have steady supply of electricity.
Really nice.

Nayah

Would you have preferred if Eastern Nigeria joined Cameroon as suggested by afam4eva?

breezy147:
ONLYTRUTH

Things dont really work out the way you pointed above.
We cant just sack MTN and other SA companies like that. Even if we nationalise them, a lot of Nigerians will still lose their job.

For now we go ahead with reciprocity measures. We deport southafricans for flimsy excuses and subject them to inhumane treatment here like quarantining them @ the airport.

What SA is doin is expected. @ the last AU summit, they were the only country going against all the propositions of Nigeria to the point that when Nigeria advised the return of incumbent Gabonese diplomat and politician Jean Ping South Africa said NO! We want our own candidate Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma.

Ofcourse they are a grown economy.They want to be the big brother of Africa like Nigeria is.

We need to review all our kind bi-lateral relationship with these African countries.
Even west african pals like Liberia, Togo, Sierra-leone stabbed us in the back @ the last united nations security council presidency seat by withdrawing their support and vote for Nigeria to win the Seat.
We dont blame them.
We are the ones who brought ourselves into this condition

I don't know what you are responding to, but definitely NOT to my comment above. Your comment of way off point.
I NEVER said that we should nationalize their companies. I only said that we are currently on the losing side (heavily) of this relationship.
An example of what we can do to squeez them would be to impose tough business conditions on their companies, thereby forcing them to SELL them. There are many buyers ready to buy MTN if they chose to leave. Nigerian workers won't lose their jobs if that happens.
My point is that if both countries decides to go the whole nine yards, SA would lose more than Nigeria. The only losers in Nigeria are the thieves who stashed our money and bought homes in South Africa.

Please try to read first before commenting. Thank you.  

Negro, c'mon, you know that no SE person would go to Lagos to paddle canoe on top of stenchy waters.
They may live in Ajegunle, but not on top of dirty waters mehn.
That's more like your folks and Beninoise.  

Negro, c'mon, you know that no SE person would go to Lagos to paddle canoe on top of stench waters.

My main concern is this quote:

[size=16pt]“We are concerned that despite the effort by the state, local government and security agencies, [/size][size=16pt]the invaders have displayed superior military capabilities to overcome and overwhelm our communities.”[/size]

Basically, I have concluded that, either these are regular military men from the Nigerian army, which would make this very troubling, OR these may be TRAINED insurgents, which is even more troubling. Either way, my MAIN concern is that other groups in Nigeria may be sleeping and chanting one Nigeria, while a precipitous escalation (triggered by anyone) could lead to a new form of OPEN internal colonization in Nigeria. Ndigbo, it is time we start meeting with our SS neighbors to devise a reliable counter measure.

I thought the creeks were supposed to be from Delta state according to you.

Creek pass creek.

Dudu_Negro:
you have been showing Ijora Badia. . . . but who lives in these squalor?  The people living in it make it what it is.  Look in the picture and see how the persin paddling the canoe is dressed. . . . clearly SS/SE. 

my friend,  #occupyyourcreek   

hehehe
ol'boy you are smarter than this one.
Per the picture, the woman's scarf (head tie) is the same material as her wrapper.
In SE women hardly (if ever) use same material for both.

In any case, nobody from SS/SE would live in that type of squalor. 

koruji:
You are on to the real issue here. Our officials steal the resources, and go to South Africa to hide it out. They care about absolutely nothing that happens to the common man until their sorry bodies are concerned. They are incapable of running anything successfully.

The only reason you are hearing all these noise is because a senator of the "republic" was among the 125 that were deported.

Countries have being ignominiously deporting Nigerians for lesser reasons for ages, without any form of responsibility shown by our officials. Just a couple of weeks ago GEJ took a whole train load of people to go celebrate 100 years of ANC in SA. Many of our senators shamelessly got on planes to watch the world cup in SA. An event that should have been held with accolades in Nigeria. When Iran brought enough arms to prosecute a small war across our borders they made a lot of useless speeches, and nothing was ever heard about it again. Iran would have invaded the Nigeria embassy or US embassy for that matter, if it happened to them.

I recall when we called for Nigeria to disallow her citizens from being executed for whatever reasons abroad. David Mark had the audacity to say that any Nigerian caught in criminal acts abroad is on his own. However, as soon as Abdulmuttalab, a son of an inner circle of the Nigeria bourgeois commited the worst atrocity possible they did not hesitate to send lawyers. On the other side, the same David Mark once said that Nigeria takes no responsibilty for the issue of 419. What then is David Mark's job - to simply collect monthly payments?

Given the above, any gra-gra on this issue is just all that. Nigeria, sadly, lies prostrate in the hands of incompetent people. The damage done to this nation over 50 years is almost irreparable.

It is high time the country collapses on their heads. They can keep spitting in our faces when the time is good, and expect to use us as their mules when their chicken come home to roost. The individual parts of Nigeria can do better than this crappy setup - enough is enough.

I use to wish for Nigeria to teach these African countries that disrespect us a very good lesson. At this point, it is no consolation for me at all to make such wishes.

One of the PRIMARY reasons why folks like myself constantly call for the disintegration of Nigeria is because the country seems incapable of ever finding herself.
The consequence of that is that Nigerians are SUFFERING in different parts of the world silently. We only got to know about this one because a senator was among them.
I know, for example, that a Biafran nation, though small, would be patriotic enough to go on a sustained showdown with any nation that crosses us.
Nigeria is bogus, unwieldly and obtuse.
I see Nigeria like a 5000 pound Buffalo.
I want a lion nation of 300 pounds, complete with CLAWS AND TEETH.

Have I told you I am offended? I am simply curing id!ots.
Something on another thread made me think about a lot of the absurd things one comes across as a result of ignorance in Nigeria and this creek thing from Lagosians stuck out like a sore thumb.

What if I challenge you to provide the equivalent to this from Yenegoa? Would you consider yourself an id!ot if you can't?

Frankly this picture would traumatize any Nigerian born in a developed country.
It just shows how some Nigerians live on SQUALID stenchy waters.
God is very faithful, else humans shouldn't survive such conditions.

For the very first time, I am beginning to believe that Nigeria's perennial power problems are about to end.

[size=16pt]New era beckons, firms to own small power plants [/size]

A NEW dispensation is under way in the power sector as the Federal Government yesterday opened the coast for private operators to generate and distribute electricity to un-served Nigerians.

For a hitch-free implementation of the new deal, two regulations were unveiled by the government, which addressed areas that may impede the participation of the private sector in the scheme.

Such firms are free to generate or distribute 5,000 kilowatts of electricity or even below.

This came barely a week after the National Privatisation Council (NCP) granted state governments the right to own 49 per cent equities in 11 succession firms of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN).

One of the new regulations, which was made public by the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) yesterday, empowers small firms to generate electricity while the other authorises independent distribution firms to supply power to un-serviced communities.

[b]This arrangement also allows the firms to provide electricity for their clients without linking up to the national grid.

But before they begin operations, such companies will undertake in writing that the facility of the existing distribution licensee will not be used in their operations.

They will also ensure that there shall not be any parallel overhead lines to existing facility as well as ensure the safety of equipment, workers and the public.

The NERC also specified that they must have a minimum distribution capacity of the Independent Electricity Distribution Network Operator (IEDNO) of 5,000kw and also show the ability to provide generation capacity for the IEDN.

While the embedded generation regulations deal with direct production of power from small independent power plants, the Independent Electricity Distributions Networks Regulation (IEDNR) relates to the operation of isolated off-grid independent electricity distribution network in rural or urban areas, which are not connected to a distribution network.

Such networks will therefore be operated by system operators to be licensed by NERC.[/b]

The regulation applies to all independent electricity distribution systems, their owners, operators, and users of the distribution systems.

It was learnt that the move is designed to meet the electricity need of over 60 per cent of Nigerians, who have no access to power or connected to the national grid. Those connected to the grid are plagued by frequent outages.

The first regulation is the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission for Embedded Generation 2012 while the second is the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission for Independent Electricity Distribution Networks.

The embedded generation rule empowers companies to use diverse energy sources to generate small 10 megawatts and other small plants in rural and urban areas not served by the national grid and distribute direct to communities around them.

Chairman of NERC, Sam Amadi, said feed-in-tariffs approved by the commission shall be applied for energy embedded generators, and shall be fixed for specified period, subject to periodic reviews and approval by the agency. Metering of customers and embedded generators, he said, shall be mandatory.

A copy of the regulations, which The Guardian obtained yesterday, read in part: “The commission may issue a licence to construct, own, operate and maintain, or to procure the construction, operation and maintenance of an independent electricity distribution system provided that a licence shall not be issued unless the commission is satisfied that there is no existing distribution system within the geographical area to be served by the proposed independent distribution system; where the infrastructure of an existing distribution licensee is unable to meet the demand of customers in the area, the IEDN operator shall satisfy laid-down conditions before the issue of a licence.

And this would tell you where the REAL power is in Nigeria.
Nuff said.
