ndu_chucks,

When will you stop behaving like a goat? So, your sharia police is constitutional ko?
Mutun banza.

@topic, This is exactly what MASSOB should be doing. They should actually do more by chasing all criminals out of the East.
Well done MASSOB.

PhysicsQED: @ Beaf

I've never seen this level of obsession with a "SE"/"SS" alliance from any non-Igbo Nigerians west of the Niger river. Some of the "SS" groups east of the Niger may consider themselves "joined at the hip" politically or culturally with the SE, but I have never heard or read of any non-Igbos west of the Niger river exhibiting such a sentiment. Your tendency to continuously repeat and promote this sentiment is why some people on this forum keep questioning whether or not you are really Isoko. I don't doubt that you are Isoko, but I'm just letting you know why people kept doubting your origin. But then again, some Isoko clans claimed Igbo origin originally, so maybe the sentiment you're expressing is natural and not a deviation from the norm because of the particular makeup of your specific ethnic group. I think in the future maybe you should state that "SS east of the Niger, Igbo west of the Niger, and my own Isoko group" are "joined at the hip" with the SE, in order to not give people the wrong impression.

You do not have any right to tell Beaf where he thinks he should be aligned. To be honest with you, the whole "SS" idea is getting more and more idiotic. I say that because even some groups in Delta have SERIOUS issues with you Edo people for instance. Your argument above support that from your side, and I would think that Beaf may see it exactly from your opposite direction. The "SS" is a political and economic red herring which will soon disintegrate. The two bolded is part of why I believe in EASTERN NIGERIA, but I would join Beaf's Isoko and Anioma (if they both continue to identify with Eastern Nigeria).

@ koruji, if somebody at your level of intelligence actually accepts the preposterous argument of this article, that is worrying. If it were somebody dumber I would not even bother responding. What the U.S. does or does not do does not determine the actions a country with a unique situation and history like Nigeria should do.

It's amazing how people's ability to carry out basic reasoning with respect to a very simple situation can be distorted as soon as the topic of oil money comes up. If Akwa Ibom were part of Cameroon, you would not have to worry about offshore oil money accruing to Akwa Ibom state via the coast, because it would not even be relevant. The coastal states are the only reason offshore oil is relevant to Nigeria and this is a very simple thing to understand.

If Bayelsa, Rivers, Delta, Ondo, and Lagos were part of other countries, you would not have to worry about offshore oil. [/b]One's state does not have to touch the coast to support the offshore oil derivations going to those states but the author of this article has woven a web of distortions and red herrings in order to try and obscure a very simple truth.

And if oil had been discovered in the North (because of the Chad Basin), the same Northern intelligentsia that are arguing that offshore oil past a certain completely arbitrary distance does not belong to states would never have bothered to bring up the argument.

The ludicrous argument promoted by certain people online (ex: Ndu_chucks), and by northern pseudo-intelligentsia in real life, about offshore oil is a [b]feint. The nation, and northerners in particular, should be worried about corrupt politicians, poverty, and terrorism in the north.

This argument is getting more and more windy with no basis in logic whatsoever. The FACT is that these states ARE NOT independent of Nigeria, and they are not in other countries. How can an educated man use "What could be" to support his argument on this issue?
Well, any state in Nigeria can also decide to be part of any country in the world, if we are to go down that lane of logic, in which case Lagos can decide to secede and join China and we lose whatever investments we have there as a country.
You people should stop thinking like illiterates.
Some of us in SE support you based on sentiments, but we would NOT support you if you keep thinking like brainless oafs.

Nuff said.

NRI PRIEST: Charles Chukwuma Soludo and Gov. Aliyu Babangida of Niger state.
Rochas Okorocha and Salisu Lamido Sallisu.
Ngozi Okonjo Iweala and Fashola of Lagos.
Pat Utomi and Nasir El-rufai.

Any of this pairs work for Nwa Nri.

I also think that Ngige/Fashola ticket can be formidable.

Musiwa I think you made some very strong points on this thread. I never even thought about some of your observations about the economic relationships between some states in "SS". Your only mistake is the economic relationship between Delta and Anambra. If the Asaba airport starts full operations, and the Onitsha river port starts too, there will be more economic relationship between Anambra and Delta, than between Delta and Ondo.
All other things you said is spot on.

[quote author=Ejiné]That's quite funny, OnlyTruth! . I do have to make one point, that my actions are not carried out in order to solicit for approval from people or whatever, but I'll address your questions:

What is your real interest in this thread?
My real interest in this thread is to keep it going for as long as possible, simply because I can. I don't want it do die (whao, why on earth would I want that?), cuz even though it does appear vitriolic from a distance, this thread is still a very educative one, no matter how you look at it. My interests are not to even educate the lost illiterate Chino, but to educate some of the silent readers who might just share the same amount of ignorance as he does. It is good when issues like these are thrashed out, because it helps re-educate people on some things they might have no knowledge regarding - like the silly talk a Uni of Tech not matching up with a Uni just because it's a Uni of Tech (how someone ever got to reasoning like this, I still don't know). So, yeah, it does have its far-reaching merits

You obviously want this "fight" with Chino11 to go on indefinitely, and you don't care how it portrays the rest of us.
That's the point - His stupidiity entertains me, so I just can't help pushing his buttons. But your part about its portrayal, I still don't get.
Right from the time I first joined this forum (not with this ID) waaaay back in March 2006, I have never claimed to speak for the generality of the Igbo. I have never claimed to be a standard model to judge the Igbo.
I'm a free-spirited dude and my actions only speak for me and me alone. That's how it is and that's how it'll always be.

And yeah, I'm from Delta. From an Igbo father, too. Mum's Esan by blood, but she also speaks Igbo. I although my childhood has been more pan-Nigerian (ie. different places in the country), I'm a full Igbo man with a full Igbo accent, and that is how I want to be addressed. Shikena [/quote]You still did not answer my question about WHY you want this thread to continue in the line you are taking it. For example, you cannot wake up one day, kill a few people of different tribes, shout that you are Igbo, and then expect the rest of us to keep quiet and take it. When the reaction comes, it would affect the rest of us. Your actions impact the rest of us, so it is a mistake to think that it is your sole prerogative. Do you understand me now? lol
I would have preferred that you are not Igbo so that we will take your comments as those of Yoruba or aboki or whatever we call non-Igbos whose stock in trade is to cause us harm both off and online. We are all free spirited folks, but we are also RESPONSIBLE and reflective. To do otherwise is nothing less than irreponsibility.

This is a free forum and you are free to say whatever you want, BUT be ready to be addressed as a non-Igbo going forward because we have every right to defend our integrity as Ndigbo -BY ALL MEANS NECESSARY.

I won't warn you again.

Bliss keep up the good works on this thread!
It saddens me a lot that our politicians aren't saying much about this bridge (unless I don't know).
BTW I think that any modern bridge would do, though I would prefer something with a rail-line and pedestrian walk.

@Ejiné

What is your real interest in this thread?
Why don't you want it to die?
It is clear to everyone now that you are the only one still picking a fight here.
You obviously want this "fight" with Chino11 to go on indefinitely, and you don't care how it portrays the rest of us.
That is exactly the same reason I was angry at Chino.
Now, why are you continuing to poke and provoke a reaction from him?

You say you are from delta state. I would assume you are Igbo (cos of your passion for Igbo affairs); so, don't you care at all about our image as a people?

I tried to change this thread into something that can challenge us to focus on our real problems as Ndigbo.
If this thread must continue, let it continue along that positive direction; else DROP IT NOW.
If you don't, then you will get a similar reaction from me soon.

Anyway, the only reason why I'm not even taking these ofemmanus seriously is that everytime I ask my brothers in Lagos about any possible threat to their investments and security, they just laugh so long and tell me to forget Yoruba that they know them very well.
They just laugh and tell me to forget about these people.

Anyway, let me get the hell outta here.

Obiagu1: My Igbo brothers, please give the Yorubas a chance to weigh their options against their killers, the Hausa. Some of them I've found a comfort zone and are creeping in to start Igbo/Yoruba bashing.
Their problem is Hausa not Igbo. Don't let them digress, they are being killed in the West so they should address that.

Yorubas, this is not an Igbo thread. Deal with your problem like men!

Actually my brother I think that we should really understudy these abokis in Lagos.
We have more investments in lagos than aboki, so we should have more military and self defense plans than aboki.
These hyenas would never overlook us because we are trying to be reasonable and peaceful.
They only understand aboki style.
See how they completely ignored aboki.

strangerf: You said the same thing in 1967. Look at h'ow far it got you

You no dey learn. You know get shame? Brain is mightier than cheap talk, remember.

Be careful what you wish for . . . when we start, we wont stop until we reach 10 million.

Why can't you people ever stop thinking about 1967?
Do you know that it has been 44 years? That is MORE THAN A GENERATION.
Is that how fixated your brains are?
Na wa o.

I'm out for now.

Meanwhile aboki rampages on in eko. lol

tenisuga: lol. I laugh in Isale Eko. keep deceiving yourselves

Yorubas don't need to fire a bullet to deal with ibos in Lagos. We know where you people are. E ti e po to (You never reach) We need more of you people to develop and maintain Lagos. All we have to do is to introduce a new tax for traders at Alaba, Ladipo and other markets dominated by Igbos. And when you people become a nuisance to our society and we are ready to drive you out we simply lock those markets and tell you we want to build a new world class ulta modern market there. We have done it before at other markets and we will do it again.

So bring more slaves Igbo traders to develop lagos for us jare. When kasala burst, who no know go know, all of you claiming landord for Lagos go know say Oba lo ni le (go figure).

Childish talk. When you raise taxes, we simply raise prices. We own our shops in lagos; we don't rent them.
We are in Nigeria and we own land there.
Better drop your foolish dreams of ever getting us out of Lagos.

Aigbofa: If you are trapped in Lagos, there is only one way out for you; The sea, and you may have to swim.

What will trap us in Lagos? Or rather WHO?
You will then see that your WHOLE YORUBALAND will become fair game.
We march Northwards towards your heartland. Just pray that aboki doesn't march southwards from Kwara axis. Then the only way for you will be HEAVEN.

bashr8: we will first wipe out all the yorubas in the east, though i know yorubas dont care about their dead but that will be a good start, meanwhile the real genocide is happening in your land do something about it and leave igbos out of this. its only in yoruas that hausas go to their land and massacre yet your call yourself a major ethnic group.

Believe me, these people don't know that some of us are waiting for an opportunity to have a formal war with them.
Aboki is also very angry at them and are really pushing them, but they would never even talk.
One of these days, they will provoke us in lagos.

[quote author=Ileke-IdI]Yes, the same way Igbos did not fold hand when boko haram was busy redefining your population just a few months ago.

Let's be honest here, Igbos are simple cowards. They've been muted over years of "marginalization".[/quote]Well, even at that we are still there, talkless of your backyard.

bittyend: You remember how the Hutus massacred the Tutsis with machetes and spears in three days, huh? That's how the ethnic cleansing in Lagos will be before people in East get to Lagos. Heck, they would have to go through Ondo, Ekiti, Ogun and probably Osun before getting to Lagos - and those are some THOROUGH yoruba people. The deeds would have been done before there is call for a cease fire. You can ask the Hausas what happened to them in Lagos in 1999 - I was in Naija then, and I witnessed it. Phucking Hausa cripples were walking without a Pastor praying for them and dead bodies everywhere.

Be careful what you wish for!

I'm out for real, this time.

You mean the same ones who ran away when a band of 15 man Ijaw militants stormed their state and kidnapped the Oba taking him to the creeks? lol
A 15 man militants sacked whole local government areas.
You are not ashamed one bit.

One day, you will learn what we have already learned during the war; that is if you survive like we did.

bittyend: Igbo cyber thugs and the fake Eze just love huffing and puffing - Igbos won't hurt a fly in Lagos. I don't even know why some are myopic. You start a fight in Lagos, and all the Igbos in Lagos get cut off from the entire SE - whatever happens after that will be worse than Biafra war, trust me.

And you think you can defeat even only the Igbos in Lagos? lolz
And you also assume that Igboland will fold hands and sit on our a55 in the East.
Well, I don warn una.
You're welcome to try. Meanwhile face aboki for now if you can, else please shut up.

Obiagu1: I have to apologize on behalf of the Igbos for this violent attack by the Hausas on their Yoruba brothers.
It is Igbo's fault and we hope it won't repeat itself again.

hehehe!

When we were kids (around 9-10 years old), one boy in our play group had a weird way of reacting when you provoke him. He would simply ignore you and start pushing the youngest member of our clique. This boy would NEVER confront the real foe. He would always take it out of whoever he thinks he can fight.
So, one day, he repeated the same thing with a "small boy" who newly moved into the neighborhood. The boy lifted him up, threw him to the ground and fed him with sand!
That was how the new boy bought his "freedom" from this coward boy.

One day, some of you will provoke something in Lagos that you cannot handle. All these attempt to take out your frustration on Igbo will lead to something that can even change the ownership of Lagos permanently.We are not like aboki, but what I know for sure is that the Igbo have more investment in lagos than in any other part of Nigeria. FACT!
That alone will ensure that our reaction in Lagos will never resemble our reaction in the North. Be warned!

Desola is a certified coward. He is first hiding under a female username to post crap all over Nairaland.
BTW I wonder what is stopping those of you who think they can chase us out of Lagos. I just wonder what is stopping you.
Talk is cheap.
Sometimes I wish you would try nonsense.lol

None of my female relation will ever go on this NYSC bullsheet. I will do everything I can to stop her going.
The program has ZERO protection for females.

Somebody get me a pen knife. I need to castrate an Oba.

[size=16pt]How Osun monarch raped me –Ex-corps member tells court[/size]

From BAMIGBOLA GBOLAGUNTE, Osogbo
Tuesday, March 20, 2012

Hearing continued yesterday at an Osogbo High Court on the case of an alleged rape of 23-year-old Helen Okpara, who was a National Youths Service Corps (NYSC) member by a traditional ruler in Osun State, Oba Adebukola Alli, the Alowa of Ilowa in Obokun local government area of the state. The victim revealed how the monarch raped and bruised her private part.

“The monarch came over me and I started panicking and ran into a toilet where he started struggling with my clothes and pulled it off. He collected my clothes and said he was going to soak them in water. He came inside the room and switched off the light, he struggled with me on bed and that was how he raped me. I kept shouting but the Oba told me that nobody would hear me. And after I noticed that something was dropping from my private part.”

Okpara who recently completed her national service in Ilowa, the monarch’s domain was led in evidence by the principal state counsel, Mr. Biodun Badiora and she took her time to explain to the court how Oba Adebukola forced her to bed.

Miss Okpara, while narating her ordeal said, “I was engaged by the monarch to distribute forms for a computer training he organized and after distributing the computer training form to the participants, I told the Oba that we are through for the day and he said I should wait that he was going to drop me on the way to my house. So I waited for him and he drove me in his car but when we got to the front of my house where I was expected to drop, he said I would have to follow him to Osogbo for the registration of the forms, saying that the state government is expecting the forms.”

She explained further : “I told the Oba that it was late and that I can’t make it to Osogbo but he made a promise to bring me back to the village whatever time it cost. When we got to his house in Osogbo, he didn’t mention anything about the registration of the forms, so I told him I wanted to leave but he said it was already getting late and that he couldn’t risk driving at night.”

“I told the Oba to drop me in front of a police station that I would find my way home, he didn’t comply. Instead, he went inside a room and came out with a bundle of N200 notes and threw it at me that I should collect, because he mentioned how impressed he was with my performance at the computer training centre but I told him I didn’t need his money.”

According to Okpara, Oba Adebukola went in with the money and when he came out of the room, he had undressed
“When I told him I was leaving, he said I wasn’t going back that night and that he had been using many ways to get at me but I always turned down his advances and he said he was going to harm me that night.”
The accused monarch was in court and it would be recalled that he had told the court through his counsel, Tawfiq Tewogbade that he made love to Helen and that she enjoyed it while it lasted.

Desola: Speak English, Okolo!

You are even a pure 1d10t and a fool.
Your brothers should tie you to a stake and flog senses into your cowardly a55.

Desola: Fight your own war and let me fight mine. You can romance the ibos to your own detriment.

Personally, I don't see the 'molas' as the problem. They are very minor in the scheme of things. For me, as a bona fide 'omo EKO', ibos are my number one headache. I guess you can't share my passion, afterall you are an Ekiti man.

You are the worst coward because you even lie to yourself. lol
BTW I hope you get what you want -a direct confrontation with a hardened okoro.

[quote author=ekt_bear]That[b] pathetic thing about all of this to me is that it wasn't even that they were armed with heavy weaponry.[/b]

Pipes, sticks, charms

AK-47 would have wiped all of them out.

It saddens me that absolutely none of these shopowners were prepared.

A Chinese or Korean man who owns a shop in the American ghetto will have a gun handy.

So why should a Yoruba man not be equally prepared?[/quote]hehehe! ekt-bear please don't kill me with laughter today?
Since when did you become a comedian? lol

[quote author=Chyz*]How were they allowed to populate all of the places in such places? Are they intimidating non-hausa not to move there? Why is it that the Hausa are the only one that believe that you should be armed at all time whether at home or abroad? If the hausa are to be removed covertly it would have to be done by goverment in partner with the army.



Why are people concerning the igbos with this. Igbos do not bring tribal warfare to any land. We are just not like that. The Igbos and the Yorubas are mixing in lagos. Those who talk nonsense clearly want trouble. Yorubas are living in Igboland Port Harcourt the same way igbos are in lagos but you see no wahala from us. Learn to stop focusing on igbos when these fools attack your land because thats exactly what the tivs continue to do put blame on the igbo while the fulani continue to wipe them out and take their land.[/quote]lol. Those with ear let them hear!

Desola: Really? Okay, keep nursing that delusion at your own peril.

You see the danger in a Hausa man killing just one of your kinfolk but not the greater danger in being overrun in your own land by foreigners?

Hausas can be easily dealt with by sheer massacre but how do you get rid of the enemy that does not wield machetes but skillfully take over your house? Look around you, what do you see? Yes, you're damn right! Ibos and their munchkins moving in in droves!

What type of cowardice is this?
Hausa/Fulani is killing you in your land, and all you could see is the Igbo that is peacefully going about his business (at least until you provoke him) in your land.
Dude, stop being idiotic. We can all see your fear. lol

Face aboki or shut tha fkc up.

[quote author=ekt_bear]So none of the shop keepers in this entire community were armed with a gun of some sort? A machine gun would have turned all of these youths into red paste...

Very simple solution.[/quote]You see part of what baffles me in these types of stories?
Honestly, Nigeria and Nigerians just don't make sense to me!
How can I have a shop with goods worth millions, but I cannot even keep a gun.
Beats me completely!
Notice that aboki is always armed whenever he has a shop or is moving his cattle.

bittyend: If OPC don't do something buy tomorrow, phuck OPC too. Phucking Igbos claiming 90% of Lagos, now Hausas are about to claim 110% - what's left for us? what happened to all the guns and voodoo OPCs youths were parading Lagos with?

Dat one na shakara.

Some pictures
