Did Adekunle Kill Boro

The day Adekunle killed the guy in the Delta, Isaac Boro. We went with the observer team to Port-Harcourt. Isaac Boro was the leader of the group that liberated Port-Harcourt and then declared Republic of the Niger Delta there. And then, Adekunle was taking. You know, Adekunle was always stealing money then. He would come and blackmail Gowon. Gowon would tell him to go to Central Bank and carry four or five lorries to Central Bank, load them with money. Halfway, he would divert it back to Lagos, he would then take half to the front. So, the British Prime Minister came on that day. We were on the observer team with Harold Wilson when we got to Port-Harcourt. Boro did not allow the British team, so when Adekunle came, he was so furious and then they fought for about thirty minutes before they captured him."

Anyone who can think like me has no business with poverty, trust me! We have seen all these before: "igbos yorubas every tribe fraternizing dating,marrying,schooling,working,eating, CELEBRATING MORE MONEY THEY MADE all togther." Then, all of a sudden, some poor "patriotic" guy tries to make things really work for everyone, and all hell breaks loose! Suddenly, you find out that the same neighbor who "have been fraternizing" with you is a hidden enemy! He had been secretly coveting your success or perceived success for years. And you'd be lucky to escape with your life and some clothes on your back. For the naive and unlucky ones, well, they lose everything including lives. Anytime I read Major Nzeogwu's coup statements, it feels so eerily familiar. It articulates all that was wrong with Nigeria. All that[b] IS STILL WRONG [/b]with Nigeria. Like I said in another thread, people with vast different views of progress should not be forming nations. I'm not being pessimistic. I'm just being real.
If anyone is serious about creating a nation out of that space, let them start creating that nation from the village level and go from there. Let's try to be real for once and stop deceiving ourselves.

It is views like this that irritate me, when has paper qualification become a criteria for selecting national officers or is it because Soludo is from our tribe and so nobody could be better than him? Soludo was excellent as a CBN chief, he achieved a lot but should not be allowed to continue till forever. If Sanusi performs better then so be it, lets just give him the chance to make or mar himself then we can critique him. Every tribe has their own intelligent folks, and I dont care a hoot who is ruling me, hausa, ibibio or swahili! so far as I get light, water, work, road and other amenities.

My friend take it easy !! Do you actually understand what a regional giant is ? Don't be fooled by the endorsement of Obama and the West. In the real sense of the Word Nigeria is far more a Giant of Africa than Ghana is. I won't start listing the considerations that indicates regional dominance suffice to say it is not democratic and electoral excellence !!!

As an individual proud of Ghana's achievement while being very familiar with your nation I will urge you and fellow Ghanaians to desist from delusions of grandeur. For all Ghana's laudable achievement of late the average Ghanaian , is still not aggressive enough in terms of business, economic and enterpreneural dynamism  to build rapidly on the electoral success of Ghana and turn it into vast economic success as we see with leading nations of the World.

If I were you I would worry about how every aspect of the Ghanaian economy is increasingly being dominated by foreigners (to include Nigerians) while many Ghanaians are happy to remain in the diaspora when opportunities abound at home under a stable political climate. Where will you not find a KFC or Burger King in testimony to the global business aggression of Americans ? Nigerians , whatever you think of them , are the same in Africa in testimony to how we don't recognise borders in our quest for business expansion and opportunities.

You should , for example , worry about how a "giant of Africa" has its main restaurant chain entirely in foreign hands - Papaye, Frankies, On-the-run (all Lebanese) and Mr Biggs (Nigerian). You should also worry about the  success of Nigerian banks in Ghana. I would also be concerned about how the telecom sector is now locked down by Nigerian, Lebanese and South African players. You just don't call yourself the Giant of Africa - you must think and act like it !!!! Nigeria bashing is in vogue lately but lets keep it real . Ghana deserves the praises it is getting lately but Ghana cannot be a regional Giant with a people who are not naturally dynamic, aggressive , expansionist and innovative !!!!!

We Nigerians may have our problem but we still remain probably the most dynamic people in Africa and nothing can take that gift from God away from us . When we sort ourselves out then the World will see Nigeria realise the fate God intended for us when he endowed us with plenty to include some of the best natural  and human resources known to man . For example , it is not many African nations , in testimony to consistent intellectual sagacity , that can boast of  producing  so many world-acclaimed literary giants to include a Nobel Prize winner in literature !!!!

KEEP ON THINKING LIKE A POOR MAN. places like ABJ-LAGOS-  you will see igbos yorubas everytribe fraternizing dating,marrying,schooling,working,eating, CELEBRATING MORE MONEY THEY MADE all togther.

Keep lyin to yourselves - the truth is a yoruba and igbo man who are rich will be friends over a poor man from their own tribe
when you have money you dont see tribe, race or religion

While your here talking about Biafra your tribes men are shayoing with other tribes and their children are having intermarriages. WISE UP

sjeezy8:
I have no problem with igbos at all but why must everyone that is considered a good igbo by his tribe, support Biafra?. There is no tribalism in Nigeria. tribalism is what the elite rich feed to the poor which make many side track off of important issues. Corruption in Nigeria is done by all tribes but solely everyone want to blame Yoruba or Hausas.

My brother, you too like the quote 'to come and eat' do you by any chance own a restaurant?
