You are running around like a frightened mouse because you've been exposed for what you really are: an ardent advocate of government sanctioned mass murder and extra judicial killings. All your posts on Nairaland justify the mass murder of Igbo in 1966 as a reprisal for a coup conducted by 7 Igbo army officers. Now you are trying to equate SELF DEFENCE (a universally understood and legitimate action) with extra judicial killings and shoot at sights by security forces!
To you the government can extrajudicially gun down 2000 Nigerians, and in your depraved mindset, they would not be missed!
May you encounter such government action! Amen!

^^^
lol, you will not get off this one fast.
What you advocate is what is called "extra-judicial killing" in civilized climes; you know, where you are living right now, and supposed to be learning/imbibing their culture of due process, fair trial and justice. Your type is the ruling educated illiterate we have in Nigeria; the type that returns to Nigeria after living abroad, to strenghten, rather than reform the primitive justice system we have in Nigeria. You are here advocating a "shoot at sight", nothing less.
This is how the leader of Boko Haram was summarily executed by the police few years back, and now we are saddled with a far deadlier version of the problem.
Whatever happened to mass arrests and trials in the court of law.
Mr smooth Goebels!

When is this position expiring? If it extends beyond 2015, then I would want to know whether Jonathan is running or not. If Jonathan is running, then it is ok. If not, then Nnamani should know that he is effectively ruling out SE from 2015 PDP presidential contention. I hope this is not a selfish move on his part.

Katsumoto: I am not mixing up unrelated issues. Powerful Nigerians use religion to enslave other Nigerians. My point is that Religion should not be mixed with the state; let everyone practice their religion in a manner that isn't injurious to others.

My comment about 2000 being shot dead did not refer to victims; it referred to the perpetrators of murders and rampage. I am positive the meaning of the phrase "I am sure it will not miss 2,000 should they be shot dead while rampaging" is very clear. I can't break it down further; perhaps you just want to be clever.

Why did you set the limit to 2 years? Why not 5 years or 10 or 20? You don't get to decide or set the limit for the expiration of nauseating feelings and emotions resulting from carnage caused by hypocritical, religious murderers.

As for your comment about thrashing, I am not in that space where you are thrashing anyone; that is just you and your active imagination.

How many rich and connected elite "rampage" anywhere in the world? If you call a coup (usually led by less than 10 people) a "rampage", how many times would they need to rampage before the number hits 2000?

Ol' boy you are one dark hearted man who would not think twice before wasting 2000 Nigerian masses on demonstration, just to retain power and status quo.
No wonder why you vehemently defend the actions of those who killed 50,000 INNOCENT Igbo in the wake of the 1966 crisis.
I was not wrong about you at all my friend. You are one smooth talking and polished Josef Goebels kind of a guy.
Well, your type will NEVER be allowed to gain access to power in Nigeria ever again. NEVER!

ndu_chucks: Your naivity is typical of ignorant Nigerians. I venture to say that Nnamani comes from your region. olodo

My friend why do you always return to dirty tactics? Oh I forgot that a pig belongs in the mud! hehe!
Your Nnamani for Bot Chairman is only a figment of your demented imagination.
Nnamani is a PRESIDENTIAL candidate for 2015 if GEJ does not run.

Bliss4Lyfe: Eze Onlytruth, with regards to the Onitsha International Airport, it is my opinion that Anambra and Delta State need a memorandum of understanding. After-all, Delta State had built the Asaba International Cargo Airport with Onitsha traders in mind.The one terminal international airport is not sufficient and sub-standard.

Like most world class airports such as Heathrow, [b]it is not necessary to have all the terminals in one location. Some could be in Asaba and the others in Onitsha. A Cargo and Two Passenger Airport Terminal in Asaba then Two Cargos and Two Passenger terminals at the proposed Onitsha Airport. [/b]I will try to illustrate the model using an Object later.

I cannot agree more!
In fact that has been my proposal and first choice, unless the agreement between the two states can't be reached, in which case Onitsha would have to develop one for itself.

manny4life: No doubt we need an international airport, and yes Cargo can always be brought through the Niger River, however, one must ALWAYS keep into consideration that using the reliance factor as well as other mitigating factors, PH or Ibaka though ok but not advisable. I would rather advise an international airport with full Cargo operation that meets international standards. I know there are wealthy folks out there who can build one, but that's only one part of the puzzle, the operating cost is another puzzle that burden large size airports.

The operating cost of large airports is highly capital intensive in that it takes a lot of flight AND passengers AND Cargo to come through annually to break-even. Airports are seriously burdened with the cost of governmental mandates, such as security upgrades, environmental protection, domestic and international regulation and compliance, as well as state and municipal ordinances. With it's proposed size, unless this proposed airport has a capacity of handling at least 7million passengers annually, with an average of 100,000 flight annually of which 1/2 of them belongs to heavy aircraft (more revenue due to weight of aircraft or landing fees,etc), then this airport will run into deficit in due time.

The bolded is exactly why I am advocating a FULL INTERNATIONAL airport at Onitsha. Nothing else would work; a local airport, or a cargo only airport, won't be economically sustainable. Onitsha is a center of commerce, with many people travelling from it to all over the world to bring in goods. You don't know that because they all use Lagos or Abuja or Port Harcourt (irrespective of the inconveniences involved). That is why I am advocating at least a Public-Private initiative. No private sector entity would invest in such an airport without detail data to back up the sustainability idea. I also believe that once it starts operations and starts to generate income, state and federal government would be demanding payment of taxes, duties etc. That in turn would require that they also invest in the airport! The passengers would come from three or four sources: those who used to go all the way to Lagos, Abuja, PH and even Kano (yes some Igbo travel through kano!), and those who would start travelling for the first time because it has become more convenient and closer to them. So, the numbers will definitely come. Onitsha is already a one million resident city.

Therefore, IMO, while a passenger attracts traffic, it is imperative to conclude that airports do not necessarily create the economic activity, rather the support the existing economic activity. IMO, the transformation has to be present first before the commencement of the building of an airport else the airport will face serious demise. One of the problems with large projects is that, at times, they are thought through well enough before they are carried out.

Transformation including basic/modern infrastructures (schools, electricity, good transport network, security, including supporting small business agriculture/production, give people a reason to come into Anambra state before supporting infrastructures that aid global companies to come in. The idea is that no matter how much you airport is worth, if there isn't an attracting economy, companies wouldn't come in.

While the governor might partially be the problem, let's us not look beyond ourselves and the leaders amongst us. Since there are wealthy individuals in Anambra, why haven't they formed a business development consortium to move certain thing foward? Like I always say, depend on the government for everything and you're doomed; sometimes, what people need do is take drastic actions that will benefit all.

The first bolded sentences are specious and therefore only partially true. The second bolded is not true at all.
The Lagos and Kano international airports started with far less economic activities happening there in those years, than is currently happening today at Onitsha. Port Harcourt -apart from the oil companies which BTW Anambra will soon have, is not more commerce driven than Onitsha. The theory that a town like Onitsha does not have the economic activity to support an international airport is nothing but a myth; mind you that Onitsha serves the whole of Anambra (Nnewi and Awka) and parts of Imo, Enugu states, Kogi and parts of SS. I also think that it is also false that only when "international class infrastructure" is set up that an international airport should be built. My theory is that international investors would come to a city(even with 17th century infrastructure, provided it is easily and quickly accessible) with so much potential,and population (economic activities) to invest, and to take advantage some opportunities, which may include development of such world class infrastructure. Again, none of Nigeria's existing international airports came after so called "good infrastructure" were developed in the host cities. They were simply built to support general need for them, and to support economic growth of those cities.

[size=16pt]I wish everyone a happy Resurrection Day! Amen![/size]

ACM10: GBAM! GBAM!!
I bet that Ndu-chuks and his northern goons will never agree to any condition on this list.

BTW, with less than 300 comments you've shook this forum. Yours is what I call "superior arguement". I'm particularly impressed with the way you tackles the dubious Ndu-chuks. I noticed that he avoids taking you on a frontal debate nowadays. He resorts to hit-and-run tactics and ambushes. He pops up, throw few lines, then disappears or completely ignore your response.

Are you a legal professional? Your arguementative skills is the best on this forum.

Our brother Sam is simply amazing.

Sam_Ikenna: Nwanne I just created the stuff, pls check your office.

Ok, done!

Sam_Ikenna: Nwanne dont kill me pls. which one be ur happier now, lol

hehehe! the guy is fond of always putting us last in his list.

Sam_Ikenna: Now unlike you ndu_chuks, I will answer your question with a straight answer - no bull no trivial solutions (mr trivial solution I bet your laughing your butt off) Lol.

Disintegration is not the only cure for Nigeria but its another antibiotic turked away in the shelves should the first shot fail. So much has happened in Nigeria for me to say the only thing that'll satisfy me is immediate disintegration. As a human, I want to have plan A and B, my plan A is to make where I'am work but if its not working I should be able to use my plan B.

These are conditions under which I will be comfortable drapping Nigerian flag (plan A)

1. Create equal number of states or go back to regional govt.
2. Conduct credible census with ethnicity in the data.
3. Every state should be allowed to keep and manage its resources, that is if we dont go back to regional govt.
4. Only 50 % of resources found in a location or region or state should be given to FG.

5. Let states or regions control all their stuff from education to police, FG police will only get involve in matters that are more complicated (e.g if mr A from State B or region B is denied justice because of his ethnicity or faith)

6. Abolish current presidential system and replace it with parliamentary system and let every state or region produce First minister. From the pool of these first ministers we can choose who will be prime minister (This #6 can be modified).

7. No more bogus numbers of house of assembly, any region or state that can not stand economically must lose their house of assembly members and must be required to merge with any region or state that accepts them.

8. Every state or region must make their laws and their laws must be consistent with One Nigerian ideals, it must never be discriminatory.

9. FG will only handle two things - Defense and currency.

10. FG must never use our common wealth for religious purposes, be it pilgrimage to Mecca or shango or Okija, enough of that.

11. Seal the border with Niger republic and Chad, whoever must cross must do so after being properly checked.

I probably have other things to add to that list.
Anyway, if we can have that either through national assembly or SNC then I'm in.

If we cant get at least 70% of whats on that list then whats the point wasting time building and building when I know its going to be another 50 yrs 2.0.

Any rational REAL progressive should not quarrel with about 70 -80% of the above. It is very easy to design a Nigeria that is acceptable to all of us.
I don't know why the powers that be seem to love political instability.
Beats me!

jason123: I get you bro. Anyway, at the end of the day, MAY GOD'S WILL BE DONE!



Dude, any order you want, I don't care! Okay, Chime, Amechi, Fashola, Rochas. Happy?

Yes I am much happier now! lol

Let me even say some things more.
I personally believe that Igbo would not have cared much about Nigerian presidency position if they don't feel that there is a conspiracy to keep them away from it.
I highly doubt that if such a feeling does not exist, that Igbo would care. Another thing is that Igboland is the most federally marginalized of the three biggest Nigerian tribes. Our zone remains the only one lacking a befitting international airport for instance. Combine all these, you would see that the Igbo have a genuine and rational need to produce a Nigerian president, heck even if to prove this conspiracy theory wrong. This is not the type of conspiracy theory you ignore, because it is leading to loss of lives on dilapidated federal roads in the East, and the unecessary commutes to international airports located in other zones. That is why I stated earlier that only an irresponsible Igbo would think that this is not important to us. And anyone who continues to say that we are not entitled to it is even insulting us because other major tribes produced Nigerian presidents without it costing arms and legs to them.
Nuff said.

One of the reasons I don't like Jason123 at all is because he is the type of smooth Igbo haters we have from a particular part of Nigeria who are known for double speaks. They are known to be the first to always tell you that they are married to Igbo, have Igbo boyfriends or girlfriends and similar diversions.
Notice how he always says that he does not care where the president comes from provided he is a technocrat, BUT he would ALWAYS line up his choice thus: FASHOLA, AMECHI, then Chime and others.
Why not Chime first? lol
These Yoruba people won't kill me wallahi.

ndu_chucks: shatap dia, once again here you are trying to lay blame on the Ibibio, Ijaw, or Ogonis, simply because they mentioned Hummer. Here dem: "The robbers spoke in a strange language, calling some officers to come out and confront them ". nwanne, if they spoke in a strange language, how did the officers know that they were being called to come out and confront them? SMH

So you are this easy to confuse/deceive? So if a Nnewi guy speaks Oron, Yoruba or Ijaw or even Kanuri or whatever language of the police officer (mind you they may have been to that station before the attack) it suddenly means they are foreigners? I'm not rulling out the possibility of non-Anambrarians doing this. The only real give away, IMHO, is their level of calm and confidence. No foreigner operates with such calm and swagger in the heart of Igboland unless given pass by the locals. They have already attacked THREE times within the same area in under 2 days. I'm not blaming anyone, but the police should search themselves. Why are they singled out for repeat attacks? This is unprecedented in the East.

manny4life: Though I'm not familiar with the flight itinerary of Jerry Rawlings when he visited Nigeria for Ojukwu's funeral, however, it's important to note that Charter/private flight or General Aviation are quite different from "scheduled commercial operations" which requires strict adherence to both ICAO and IATA standards. Therefore, you are right, he can land at even the worst airport in the world including Nigeria as long as his flight is not "scheduled" and "commercial".

Like I previously stated, it's one thing to be authorized by your home govt for international flight operations and it's another to meet international airport safety standards to receive foreign flights. The poor maintenance culture of our FG, lack of innovative strive is causing a serious decay in all sectors of the economy including aviation, hence the reason why Nigeria of 150million people can only boast of four substandard airport, as of may last year, two of the four were awaiting ICAO approval. I don't know if they were granted the approval or not.


The cost of building a modern vision 2020 airport can cost in the lows of three digits in (million of $$$), yes I said it. Airports don't come cheap, hence reason why people are very hesitant to go into it UNLESS, there's an economic need for it which is proven can pay for itself in the long run. Although, this might sound odd, but cargo airports tend to cost a more than passenger airports because such airports if fully utilized for ALL cargo operations including handling dangerous materials and restricted goods as established by ICAO, they will spend a whole lot more.

We need FULL international airport because we can always bring cargo by river Niger to Onitsha from PH or IBAKA (when completed). What we need in Onitsha in terms of airports, is an international airport that can allow people to fly straight to and land from ANY PART OF THE WORLD.
International passenger/people transit is what would bring about the transformation of Onitsha, because global companies and skills would access it from any part of the world. That is really the idea.
About the money, believe me, there are many individuals in Anambra state that can fund it from private pockets and share the profit with government when fully operational.
I remember very well that the Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital at Nnewi was sited there because Nnewi town dominated N12 million, which was really $12 million (when Naira was one to one with the dollar in those days) back when it was Anambra state university of technology (Asutech), that was the towns union, not individuals.
The money is not the problem. Vision is the problem. We need a governor with such vision, to make this happen.

All political godfathers in Nigeria, DIE BY FIRE! IN THE NAME OF JESUS!!! AMEN!

ndu_chucks: The quote above is indicative of your woes. You are always blaming the boogeyman, for where you find yourselves in the nation, instead of joining others and fighting for your interests through our democratic mechanisms. You can't continue to blame others for your woes, sooner or later, you have to become civilized and learn how to participate in an established process, and become savvy enough to skew the system in your favour. No one will give you any Presidency simply because you are Igbo, olodo.

For starters, you people may want to rally around Nnmani in his quest to become the next PDP BOT chairman. My bet is that, fellow Igbos will work against him in the effort.

My friend who do you want to decieve with your usual maneuver. You want Nnamani to become the BOT Chairman so as to nullify the SE chance at gunning for the presidency.
You see, this is the mistakes you keep making -assuming that only you can play Northern Nigerian style of politics.
You can give the BOT job to the SW; that is Obasanjo's zone, and someone from his zone should replace him. Shikena.
Nnamani would be a fool to vie for the post.

Sam my brother I replied your mail.

afam4eva: An Onitsha blueprint was designed some years back by Peter Obi. I don't know why they've not started implementing it.

The blueprint is really a structural plan mainly dealing with transportation issue (because Onitsha is already planned). What we need now is an urban renewal of sorts (I can't remember the right term now) to create a modern city with a world class downtown and river shore line. The international airport would put Onitsha in a position to do these.

ndu_chucks: Eze, good, stop whining and join hands with us to build a great nation. Let bygones be bygones, stop bringing the crap up.

@ekwy nwa, you heard Onlytruth, your superior, he has ordered you to drop it, since you are mindless and don't have the ability to reason on your own.

My friend you cannot quote me half and leave it at that. You should quote me in full.
The debate around 1966 is only happening because your brothers think they can capture 40 million Ndigbo and bar us from fully exercising our rights as Nigerians. They will soon learn that it is not possible.
They are really the ones making reconciliation impossible.

Bliss4Lyfe: There is no reason why everything in onitsha could not be packed into a skyscraper individually including hospitals, businesses, universities, hotels, government parastatals and residential apartments. Surely, the water front-side of onitsha should be internationally urbanised. There is money to be made in the construction industry, london 2012 is an example. When properly organised it will mope up alot of the jobless and destitute persons.

The project could be local with foreign partnership to ensure solid and long lasting constructions. Onitsha construction Agenda (OCA) 2040


I know waiting dey hungry bliss no dey for market o.

These can only begin with a beffiting international airport at Onithsa. The experts that would be required to design a modern urban planning would either need to interact seriously with outsiders on a regular basis, or even bring them from outside.
The city by the river is a gold mine waiting to be harnessed.
The international airport will initialize the whole process.

They could have spoken Ibibio, Ijaw, Ogoni or any of the over 15 languages in Cross river state.
They also operated with a lot of confidence and calm, even using exotic cars like Hummers and jeeps and were not in any hurry.
Ndigbo say that a boy whose father sends to a robbery often boldly kicks down doors with confidence.
These are not Northerners, by a long shot.

@Sam Ikenna

Spot on, my brilliant brother. You said it all!

ekwy nwa: @ndu
What actions re you talking about?

Just leave him with his beliefs. He wants to go back to the 1966 coup debate. Just drop it.
Personally I think that the debate around Jan 1966 coup would make it impossible for there to be a reconciliation in Nigeria. Ever.
So, the sooner we stop engaging in that debate, the sooner we can move forward with our plans for our future.
Our best strategy for winning that debate is to re-invent our land in the East and make it something completely different from what the rest of Nigeria is.
As for the presidency, ndigbo say that you can never hide a full term pregnancy. Nigeria is pregnant, and soon it would become apparent to everybody that the nation must deliver one thing -a Nigerian president of Igbo extraction, or a federal republic of Biafra.

Let's fix our focus on these.

haka_nai: Katsumoto i like your grasp of history and the reasoning.For me the greatest problem we all have is never learning.The black people just can't learn and like to live as a family or village of the past.We fail to live as a nation or a continent.A slight difference is all it takes for people to become ethnocentric.Look at our skins.Whether we like it not,we have so many things together and in common.I once took a good look at President GEJ's picture wearing a Northern outfit,He looked so northern and can say he passed for one.Flipping that wear makes him an Ijaw man.So i have come to accept that in us alot is one.We create the path to our destruction and difference.We also make the reasons and take the action.
My final take,can an Igbo lead Nigeria-yes,do they have leaders worth leading Nigerians-yes and can they do it-i don't know.Some say it's the Igbo man being individualistic.I think that is not totally true.It is more of the bad marketing strategy for a Nigerian leader of Igbo extract!You know the leader maybe Igbo, but to other non-igbo Nigerian first.The mentality of having a leader because you deserve it is not an excuse.The mentality that Igbo is better than others or populate than others is not true either.The mentality that using the minority only is a sure buy and antagonizing the others is also not a good move.
You should start off where you left off.The meetings you had under the zoning.It's a good starting point.Some Igbos did stand with politicians from the pro-zoning days.This same Igbo politicians can go back to this same people and ask for a favor atleast they stood with them at there times of need.Its a good turn deserve another.Then let the Igbos suggest credible/acceptable candidates.I remember sometime back, the Igbos will say no don't give Alex Ekeweme is a nationalist and is not pro-Igbo.He is Igbo and if only you were behind him you would have your first civilian president since and Nigeria would have had her Nigerian Leader!!Some Igbos will prefer candidates that are so ethnocentric that its obvious others will resent them.Look for an Igbo nationalist and forget this Igbo president Ideology.We need a Nigerian president first and you can offer us that from your community if any.

I'm not boasting, but I believe that the most nationalistic Nigerians are Igbo. We have paid our dues in Nigeria, and continue to garner many international laurels for Nigeria. All educated Nigerians know this fact, except that they like to accuse us of ethnocentrism (meanwhile they are the ones with ethnocentric issues) just to find a reason not to support us.
Someone like Soludo understands Northern problems and wants to do something about it without touching religious or cultural sensitive things in the North. I would put my smart money on him, or Rochas Okorocha.
I really don't think that Ndigbo need to do anything more to prove anything to anybody in Nigeria.
The way the younger generation of Igbo see it, we are either Nigerians (and treated like everybody else) or we are not, and we will use everything we have to attempt another secession. We must succeed in one (to be full Nigerians or full Igbo/Biafra).

kingoflag: This man is one of the most useless, pretentious divisive person in Nigeria's political landscape today. Is this not the same man that forgot he was an ACN member and started thinking he was a tribal chief during the impasse on who was going to be speaker of the house? Snake to the core. After that incident I lost any respect I ever had for him. Another backwards illiterate in power.

You should at least know that he is a MEDICAL DOCTOR with many years of experience as a doctor and public administrator, and his training was when Nigeria's standard of education was higher, not these days.
It is funny how you always rush to call people illiterate. Little wonder folks attack you at every slight chance.

One_Naira: I agree as well. That city has so much potential. If only Anambra governors will focus their attention on that city.

@onlytruth

How many people keep migrating to Ontisha? do you know the percentage? because the market has gotten more dense than I remember. IMHO, I believe they need to do something about, the city is not big enough to contain that much people imho.

Don't worry my brother, the place I posted in the picture (Bright street) is like idumota in Lagos (perhaps the densent part of Lagos). The whole of Onitsha is not like that.
If you look at Onitsha with google satelite view, you would see that there is much room for expansion towards the North (oze and nsugbe side), and towards the south -Osomala and Atani side. In fact the south has about twice the size of current Onitsha in land mass, even if you don't expand into the National forest reserve at Oyiowa odekpe there. So there is too much room for expansion, bearing in mind that current Onitsha was developed over a period of about 100 years.
What is need is infrastructure management (roads reconstruction and maintenance, water works, modern bus and light rail development, and underground conduit mains for electricity, telephone, fiber optics and other cables). Then the fegge side needs a modern urban planning which would cost money. It basically would require the state government in partnership with private investors, to acquire all bungalows in fegge (most of them are at least 50 years old), demolish them and build 12 to 20 storey apartment blocks. In fact this excercise should convert fegge into a modern downtown complete with modern mixed use (shops/offices downstairs, apartments/dwelling units upstairs). If done right, it would recover up to 20-50% of land in fegge and use some of that to create green zones and parks there.

Like realchange said, it is an intidimating undertaking, and you need a very ambitious (and hopefully a train environmental designer/expert)governor to launch/supervise such massive undertaking. If done right, Onitsha alone, complete with an international airport, can fund Anambra state in perpetuity.
We need a "next level" kind of Anambra governor from 2014.

I honestly don't think it serves any purpose to engage in discusions concerning the January 1966 coup. It does not solve anything and teaches only little (because I personally believe that the plotters should have known better to attempt such in Nigeria) As far as I'm concerned, they were very careless and irresponsible set of young men.
Their action smacks of share idiocy. I don't think they understood what they were trying to confront. If they did, there is no way a character like Ironsi would have survived that coup. Heck they should have started killing from Ironsi and any Igbo that would have stood in their way. Basically I still see some Igbo with such idealistic mindset here on Nairaland, and I get very furious at them because I know they don't have the slightest clue of what Nigeria is.
So, I say please umu Igbo, let us start to ignore discusing that coup. It only makes some people think they are smart when they are just idiotic cowards who have no history of ever confronting any situation in Nigeria.
Let's focus on the future -2015, and beyond. How do we plan our future in Nigeria or our exit from Nigeria? These are the only relevant questions.

lol @ this level of idiocy by revisionists and their sidekicks.

PointB: [size=14pt]Did the Jan 15 coup plotter explicitly declare they were acting on behalf of Igbo ethnic group or Nigeria? [/size]

Katsumoto: Stop being disingenuous; you were expecting them to confess acting an Igbo agenda, even when they were being shielded by Ironsi.

Blah. . . more blah and more conjecturial crap

PointB: ^^^
[size=14pt]You still have not shown me where the main actors claimed the were acting out an Igbo agenda.[/size] Like I said the coup failed and opportunistic politicians reacted perhaps naively.

The ethnicising of the Jan 15 coup was done simply to pave the way for the counter coup. Nzeogwu and co had altruistic motive, their failure unfortunately created the room for this misrepresentation of their intention.

'Failure indeed is an orphan.'

ndu_chucks: Let me help Katsumoto out: blah... more blah and more idiotic blah!

PointB: [size=14pt]Did the Jan 15 coup plotter explicitly declare they were acting on behalf of Igbo ethnic group or Nigeria? [/size]

katsumoto and his sidekick ndu_chucks flees the scene!

I voted for Negro_ntns
He is the only one on that list intelligent, informed and rounded enough to represent Yoruba properly on this forum.
He has his faults, but he is the only one who has demonstrated an ability to reform and recreate himself as he goes on here. He is also a potential bridge builder.
Others are either too aloof (Ekt_bear), or too stoopid (Eko-ole), or too set in revisionism, smooth hate and dishonesty (Katsumoto), or too moronic, goofy and idiotic (dayogoat).
