omar22: Can someone tell me who started the Biafra WAR?

I guess the Yoruba should get in line for been mentally disturbed by the constant moaning and Whining of the Igbos and the constants whinging of the northerns over power

Pls answer who did? Its on record that Nzeogwu led the coup but did he do it single-handedly? That a coup was done which involved the killing of many Hausa people in govt did it mean it was hausa inclined? In the history of Nig,the hausas decided to colonise leadership and from there corruption and bad govt started. Why were subsequent coups not interpreted to be tribal and result to another massacre and war?

When a return coup was done to Ironsi (igbo), why did the hausa's still massaccre igbo's in the north?

ateke2: Well this people are nigerians and I don't need to be a prof in law to know they have a case. Remember our leaders swore under oath to protect nigerians.
Because you didn't complain/make a case when you have issues, doesn't mean other people can't complain/make a case when they have issues.

FG, State or LG?

oradee: also, Pls ask if any Muslim here on NL has ever killed for islam and did it give him any gratification or sense of peace?
ask if he/she wld do it again.
Ask if he truly believes that a blood stained hand of an innocent life wld permit him paradise.
Ask him why its Mo he fights for and not Allah.
Ask him if its Mo who created the paradise or if its Allah...
Ask the female suicide bombers or killers if they wld be given any virgin husbands (and how many) if they kill for Mo and not Allah...to many freaking Q's we hope to get answers to cos no matter what religion ur worshiping,u need to know why ur worshiping it and how realistic and sensible their doctrines are (both christian and moslem)

Its obvious Maclatunji saw this post but chose to not answer cos he really has nothing to say to its defense...

I was hoping other more learned and passionate muslims here cld enlighten others on the above questions...i have more Q's but ill take 'em step by step!

wait o, correct me if im wrong but i thought the FG drolls out millions/billions monthly for state security?
If their LG and state govt have failed its people, why blame the FG?

I swear eh,in all honesty,the whites knew why they ruled old Nigeria they way they did cos not every tribe is the same. we cant force democracy on a people who dont understand it.

These people only follow one leader (FG in this case) for this is how operate. The same principle is same for how they rear their cows;identify and control the leader and others wld follow.

I wish the Northern Nigeria all the best cos they really are the stick in the mud and are slowing us down...

...and if he doesnt apologize? these people keep roaring like paper tigers.

they shld just get a life...

maclatunji: There are two reasons I think. One is that the Jesus that people may seek to "denigrate" is not recognised by Muslims ala "son of God", member of the "Holy Trinity" etc.

The second is that, there are fewer attempts in the mainstream media to denigrate any personality of "Jesus" at all in the first place.

However, Muslims do not accept any attempt to ridicule Jesus (AS) or any other Prophet for that matter. You are right on that point.

so until His name is written Isa, u people wldnt fight? hmm...ok

so even if his name isnt mentioned but "insinuates" thats its Mo, u guys fight? Issorai...logic and reasoning at its peak!!

Donphilly: Can somebody honestly shed some light why muslims would kill, fight and defend their prophet while the christians would only pray and ask God to defend himself.

With protests and unrest around the world caused by a film, cartons and other trivialities; muslims are always quick to anger with violent response in defense of their faith.


I would very much want to know why the two religion differ so much in their approach to negative or contrary issues against them.

kenlash1: [/b]

I beg to disagree wif u totally. U cannot be forced to believe in any God. God ll neva allow u to kill anoda to preach his gospel. What is wrong is wrong. A man makes a muvi criticizing a prophet nd u start killing nd destroying properties instead of bringing facts to d table to dispute d muvi maker. U just proved that what d man said is true. [b]We all strive to make heaven or paradise as u may call it does it nt sound fallacious dt u'd kill to make heaven?

I doubt if we know that it takes a hardened heart and mind to kill someone no matter the reason either religion or otherwise...
it takes a heart laden wif hate and uncontrollable rage and anger to kill a fellow human and uses religion to justify it.

look at the Mubi killing,is there any difference in their motive than that of the lybian killing or Boko Haram...
The fact that someone raises a machete or weapon to kill someone over whatever reason (religion) in order to make heaven/paradise is very very questionable...

blink182: Jesus is not a prophet, He is the First born of God and He sits in all glory besides the Father.

maclatunji: The implication of the bolded is that God actually has other "children". I would love to have their names because you are beginning to tantalize my taste buds!

actually, according to the bible, Jesus is his ONLY begotten son...what does the Quaran say bout Him (Isa)?

The real Question should be why do Muslims defend only Prophet Mo and not Prophet Isa? Is it allowed in their religion?

They recognise the existance of Prophet Isa (Jesus) but christians dont recognise Prophet Mo...

wow,so Omojuwa had a hidden motive all along judging from his tweets barely a week ago...

Well,everyone wanna be a twitter celeb so i aint surprised he made that infamous list...

but to think he really tweeted that...im dissapointed!

Idokojimmy: To whom it may concern: Arik presents iPad to Japheth Omojuwa, “Full details soon,” he says


by Isi Esene

The long drawn twitter war between Arik Airline and social media activist, Japheth Omojuwa over his missing Apple iPad tablet appears to have been settled.

Both parties were at daggers-drawn refusing to back down when Omojuwa insisted that the aviation company must accept responsibility for the loss of the electronic gadget, an incident which reportedly happened while flying the airline.

The spat however culminated into the blacklisting of Omojuwa and subsequent ban from flying any of their flights. He was essentially labelled a security risk by the management of the airline.

Indications however suggest that both parties have decided to see reason and sheathe their swords.

Omojuwa, on Monday afternoon posted a situation report on the outcome of his tete-a-tete with the management of the airline saying: @omojuwa: “Let me state here that I do not hold any grudge against anyone for their stand on the iPad issue irrespective of where they stood.”

He later tweeted again saying – @omojuwa: “I just collected a new iPad 3 from Arik with a typad. Closing that chapter. I will not judge anyone based on the iPad issue”

YNaija exclusively spoke with Omojuwa on the details of the meeting with Arik and[b] he promised to release a statement[/b] on it as soon as he lands from his resumed flight with the airline en-route Abuja from Lagos.

Stay with Ynaija as we bring you details of the brokered iPad peacetalks.


http://www.ynaija.com/to-whom-it-may-concern-arik-presents-ipad-to-japheth-omojuwa-full-details-soon-he-says/

so this is the freaks face who rants all over twitter about his ipad,etc...

So he wants to make a press release on the issue...like seriously?? over an ipad??

If this guy calles GEJ a fool again eh,il support his arrest cos he sure sounds like a millennium fool. (press release my a$$)

honeric01: So you self no say you dey among the naija women dem dey talk about?

Oh pls,how many naija men have married a handicapped woman? Pls mention one!

Cobhamas is blind and his woman married him,
the dude in the pix in limbless and his woman married him,
some women have married a low-sperm count man and have stayed (but screwd around to save his face cos he really has no option even if he divorces her)
so which nigerian man has married a handicapped woman?

wow...for the first time,im moved to tears by a picture!

size38: Boko haram leaders are indirectly crying out. True, JTF don really deal wit their rank and file. When JTF arrested & killed Abu Qaqa, they said it was not Abu Qaqa dat it was Abu Dada. Now dat the Abu dada is dead, boko haram wil claim dat JTF only killed Abu Wawa and not Abu Dada

...soon it wld be Abu Haha and Abu Lala...

taharqa: The part of the video i love the most is when he cried: 'yes they are killing us, instead of negotiating with us'.... BH has ran its course, they wud soon be completely crunshed

so he was crying...he really did want negotiations?

So their Emirs are next? wow...wasnt it thru this same emirs that colonial masters ruled the north? (cos the people idolize their words hook,line and sinker)
well 2014 is coming up...a centenary celebration of our union or a formal correction of a graven mistake!!

Whobedatte: beaf, a.k.a reno omokri is now active more on twitter defending the retardeen

whats his handle if u got it...tnx

is Nairaland loosing sponsors? ive noticed that its site doesnt have as much adverts as it used to from them top notch companies...hope all is well?!?

walexybaba: Its a shame 4 a lady like u talking this way, courtesy demands a lady act lady like to keep her charm, so would u order 4 an extra plate of rice at Biggs on ur first date with a guy? Even if its ur husband would u?

why are men so hypocritical? So if ur hungry u shld starve is silence cos "courtesy demands".
Do u think all women also like gluttonous men?

Tomorrow u wld start preaching how women are fake and like forming...

Help,My boyfriend to be is a freaking glutton. he eats everything and anything edible. he wakes me up by 2am to make him eba cos he says it helps him sleep better. he has a big tommy and i tot it was as a result of drinking but i realised he dont drink but eats like a boffun. My fears is that his tommy might burst before hes forty and honestly,a pot belly is a huge turn off when the clothes finally come off...hes sha a nice guy but im not sure i can handle his 2am cravings when im preggy and sex wif a pot inbetween is pure hell...

informatix: THIS IS CALLED BLASPHEMY OF JESUS CHRIST IT WILL NOT BE ALLOWED IN MY OWN SIDE OF THE COUNTRY DISRESPECT TO JESUS CHRIST(ISA IBN MARIAM AS KNOWN IN THE QURAN) WILL NOT WELCOMED. HERE IN THE NORTH. JESUS IS KNOWN IN THE NORTH AS PROPHET ISA IBN MARIAM(ISA THE SON OF MARIAM) AND JOHN THE BAPTIST KNOWN AS PROPHET YAHAYA IBN PROPHET ZAKARIA A COUSIN TO JESUS. ANY ATTEMPT TO JOKE WITH(JESUS,ZAKARIA AND JOHN THE BAPTIST) WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.

and which side is that? shld we expect a street protest to buttress ur claims?

Bélla3: The bishops were outraged and al they did was post for support that the image be removed.
Muslims were only angered bt burnt down and killed. Imagine if they were OUTRAGED!.

in all fairness,im deeply confused...from previous posts on different threads,i came to understand that the muslim world truly recognizes Prophet Isa (Jesus) as a prophet of God (Allah)..
They also said Allah said they shldnt tolorate any mockery of any prophet (Mohamemed and Isa inclusive) yet they never protest Isa's mockery,yet they still have the guts to support any ridicule of Him in any way...
Permit me to say,this is the highest form of hypocricy ive seen from a group of people... (and no one has been able to defend or explain the double standards that exists so we can understand islam better)

tintingz: are you telling me Jesus is a white man with blonde hair in heaven two sharp egded sword in his mouth(vampire)?. . .see how white people brainwashed christians, Jesus only came to the lost sheep of isreal not america, china nor africa but only to the lost sheep of isreal . . .funniest thing is that dsame christians are the one publishing this magazine of mimick pix of Jesus

so in ur arabic school,ur taught that if ur not a muslim,ur definately a christian? Christians are deeply honored with this...

a mockery of Mohammed is usually done by a christian but a mockery of Jesus is also done by christians...hope they teach u guys logic and reasoning in that school of urs

oradee:

i dont get...why is Christ's place of birth not as symbolic as his place of death?

Eze Promoe: Then why do we celebrate Christmas?

His birth = Manger
His death = cross

which of the above is more symbolic?

shine-eye:
That Christ is risen does not reduce the significance of the cross to any Christian. In any case, it is good and proper and indeed critical to global peace to steer clear of disrespect to other people's beliefs regardless of whether we share them.

i dont get...why is Christ's place of birth not as symbolic as his place of death?

shine-eye:
Whatever logic you want to employ, please reckon that today, the cross is a symbol of great veneration for christians everywhere. Multitudes hold the cross sacred today. That is enough reason for any civilized man of any faith not to denigrate the cross overtly or covertly. Ihope you are cultured enough to take that in.

yea,a symbol for those who still wanna think that way.
Christ is risen and is not on any cross or is the word cross unique to Christ alone?

for the record, NOT EVERYONE CRUCIFIED ON THE CROSS IS DEPICTING JESUS CHRIST...REMEMBER HE ALSO HAD TWO THIEVES CRUCIFIED ALONGSIDE HIM...

Christians know Jesus is risen and in Heaven so anyone depicting an image on the cross is definatley referring to the thieves.

la furia: the fact is christians dont give a damn.... i remember the nicki minaj saga, nothing hap. the muslims have made it clear, if u have no prblm making mockery of ur religious values, stay clear of ours. have u ever seen the muslim make mockrey of jesus? no becos he isnt someone to joke about.
funny enuf u dont like ur parents to insulted but i guess jesus is an exception.

what is neymar trying to potray? the brazilian football saviour. is neymar now comparing himself to jesus? sometimes the best way to attract attention is to bring religion into it.

seems u wanna take this up...are jesus (isa) and mohammed not both prophets in ur religion? yet u people never protest when isa is mocked. are the people making mockery of Jesus christians? so why wld u believe those making mockery of islam christians?
Oga,if u have nothing to say on this thread,u know what to do...

Billyonaire: Even Before Jesus, the Christ, People got crucified. And even after Jesus, the mode of execution continued. So what are these Bishops outraged about. Christianity should be more enlightening than Islam, although both are Asian Ideologies.

i truly wish ur comment wld be deeply understood by all...

is it just me or does the dude have shape?

over the years,we have all been told times again (brainwashed)the expected duties of men and women in the homes and society...while the dividing line for women is slowly fading,that of men still remain.
we are quick to expect our african women to become independent financially (cos u dont want liability) but u forget that a real man is one who caters for his woman's needs.
nowadays,i see men pick up jobs they wld not be caught dead doing eg. hairdressing,tailoring,chefs,nursing why?

i have an uncle in the US, when he was in naija, his wife was practically the pillar,doing all and sundary both in the home and at work,giving the man enuf time to chase girls. when they all relocated to america,due to the nature of her job,the shifts and the long hours,the husbands began to do what he wldnt necessarily do if he was in Naija..he cooks for his kids when shes not around (and remains the one she wld eat when she gets back), he co-ordinates his home etc...and my aunt's respect and love for her hussy increased like cray...my point is,when ur married,its about u both,harness the good qualities u have and where there are lapses,support each other cos marriage is a team work. all the players have to pitch in their own to score that deserving win...

we do know meal time is a very special moment in a family but if shes not the best in the kitchen, ur gonna have to made adjustments or just call the whole r/ship off (if cooking is a major priority to u).
