Lets compare this:
Abraham Blessing:
Father of faith
God Himself swore to him that in blessing, He will bless him.
God Himself told Abraham that all the whorld will be blessed through him.
God Himself told Abraham that He will couse those that cuased him, and bless those that bless him.
Through Abraham:
Moses Came
Samuel Came
David Came
All the prophets (Elijah, Elisha, Isaiah, Jerimiah etc).
Joseph the husband of Mary came also.
Mary is also an Isreali (She and her cousin Elizbeth also came via Abraham).
Then Jesus Chris of Nazareth.


Please below are the Blessing given to Judah:
Ge 49:8 Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father's children shall bow down before thee.
Ge 49:9 Judah is a lion's whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up?
Ge 49:10 The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.
Ge 49:11 Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass's colt unto the choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes:
Ge 49:12 His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk.

When you talk of blessing look at the blessing placed on Judah.
Permit me to say that Jecob was just proffesying onto Judah becouse Jesus is going to come from the tribe of Judah. (Jesus is called the loin of the tribe of Judah) check the things said about Judah and loin. Jesus is God and King and law giver, so check the things said to Judah about Law giver. This is also why Joseph have to come from the tribe of Judah so that Jesus will be from the tribe of Judah.


Now Marys Blessing:
It was prophesied by Isaiah that a virgin will bear a Son by the power of the Almighty God.
This conditions must be met.
The Virgin must be a Human
She must be a virgin
She must be a decentand of David.
She must be married to a man from the tribe of Judah and David Lineage

When it was time to choose a virgin; Mary was Choosing because she met all the requirement. Hence Mary is indeed blessed. Mary was indeed the mother of our Lord by flesh. There is no doubt, She is blessed.
An Angel told Mary that she will be called blessed because she has been choosing for a very important mission for God. Even if this Angel did not call Mary blessed we all already know that she is blessed.

Just D way we can all call Judah and Abraham blessed today. We don't really need anybody to tell us who is blessed or not because we human will definitely know.

But then, Mary is a vessel. like every other prophet and tools God has used before and after Mary, She had been used by the Almighty and has concluded her mission. If Mary have not fulfilled those conditions Christ would have come from another lady but such Lady must fulfill all the conditions because the scripture cannot be broken. Our Lord honored His word more than his name and Jesus Christ is the Word of God.

Leave Mary alone. listen to Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Follow his teaching. No one can accuse U of not hounoring, serving or respecting Mary, as the Bible did not ask the Christians do anything with Mary when it comes to worshiping God.

If you are accused of worshiping Mary in the Judgment day; you will have no reason to give, as the bible is very clear about this.
Jesus is the only way to the Father. Leave Mary alone!
Jesus Christ of Nazareth is the way the Truth and the Live. Worship him alone. For there is no other name under heaven given among men where by we must be saved.
Give all the Glory to Jesus and leave Mary out of this.

Hezron Lorraine: lol,repent or you perish.are u the perishioner.
I say blame straight couples for failing to pray to God not to give them gay kids.BTW.have said times and again on NL that there's gay tendency in people.many gays are born truely gay without knowing attraction to the opposite,some have to experience a s.exual relation with the same sex b4 coming to terms with being gay.some out of curiosity,e.t.c.safe me the junk.straights homophobes detest gays and see gay marriage as a threat yet it is the same straights who gave birth to them.in as much as lgbt's didn't create themselves,why murder your creation.

It is not by force. we are not fighting yet, you are free to believe what you want to believe, but I tell you until you accept that you don't have any reason to sin and accept that sin is sin you cannot repent.
Everybody has homosexual or lesbian tendency if allowed. It is a manipulative language to say “Some people has homosexual tendency”. I have told you that it is only morality that can help shape human and nature. If you hate human, nature and morality then go ahead with your evil life. Plant can be made to take any shape you want when they are growing. Go and confirm this. So human can bend or become anything if allowed them to do that. No human could have been walking on their two legs if not because children saw the adults walking on their two legs. There is nothing like born gay. It is a big lie against humanity. Even you yourself know that. Whenever (lesbian or homosexual) accepts that such life is wrong he begin to resist the devil, that is a step towards recovering from the anomaly. It is just like asking cocaine dealer to stop drug, it is difficult but possible to stop been a homosexual if you are already possessed by the force. read your bible, you will find out that devil is behind it all. But you cannot do it without God's help. That is why I asked you to repent. People start to steal from their child hood, they are not born thief. But yet they can stop anytime even though it is difficult. But homosexual is backed by some terrible evil powers that is why it is more deadly. They and their supporters are secretly taken over power from mankind, gradually legalizing their deeds as soon as they take over power.
But if God give up on you then you are gone; you cannot be corrected. Your elbow have started coiling backward ie. in opposite direction, just read your bible many homosexuals are already at this stage. The natural power has given up on them (reprobate mind). It is there in the bible. But before one get to this level the good Lord would have corrected or resisted such fellow.

all4naija: How are robbery, raping and murder in the same category with homosexual? Please, I would be very interested to know because two people who agree to share something common to them is their own business not for the public.

You forgot that many drug dealers are happily doing their drug. They are adults and many are leaving normal live. So why are the world stopping people from using drug?
Just like drug dealers the gays can also kill you or sack you if you try to stop or correct them. Two mature brothers and sisters, mother and daughter, mother and son, father and son can also decide to share things amongst themselves since they are all adult. They should be allowed to continue since they are happily doing their thing, and they are enjoying it; infact they are not harming anybody. Immorality is evil and it is still evil. We know that iniquity shall abound but to make us begin to see evil as good and even good as evil is so much wickedness against those that want righteousness to be maintained. You must wait until Jesus take his children away then you and the devil (Satan) can turn the world to anything you like.

Hezron Lorraine: Normally I would have posted something to blow you haterz off but clearly too many immature developing brains with silly arguements on thread.just a sentence:
"IF YOU DON'T LIKE GAY MARRIAGE,BLAME STRAIGHT COUPLES,THEY KEEP HAVING GAY KIDS".

Sorry for you! you have been deceived. Straight couples are also giving birth to thieves and harlots. But none of these are born thief or harlot, the same situation that turn them to harlot or thief can also turn anybody to lesbian or homosexual.
Thieves are forced to stop stealing and harlots are encouraged to stop, and even killers can equally stop killing but you said that lesbians and homosexuals should continue leaving their devilish life. I tell you repent or you perish.

bobthebuilder99: Science says that people are born gay, so what is a law going to do?

This is one of the greatest lie and manipulation ever told against humanity. Devil succeeded in manipulating man to lie against themselves. There is no born lesbian or homosexual. Ask and you will be told that any man any day can become a homosexual if he chooses to be one or even if he or she did not choose to be one. For example since you believe this lie (Man are born gays), if you are not a gay already you will likely easily become one. Been a gay is like becoming a drug addict. Live and have gays as friend and or try to join them in their devilish sexual life then the devil will possess you. Homosexual and lesbianism is a devilish act. Any person or any of the gays that have little moral life in Him or her will acknowledge this as the truth. So trying to manipulate the world will not work. The people that have experienced this will testify to this. Have you ever asked yourself why such fellows are always common amongst the witches and the secret societies and amongst men of dubious character?

Pvt. Parts:
do you even read?

mumu. read what i wrote again

Thats ok sorry for misquoting U. I called U lier U called me Mumu. so one one

Abdul Adam56: 1) ISLAM: There is no compulsion in religion.
BOKO HARAM: Everyone must adhere to our ways else…
2) ISLAM: Love all and be just to all regardless of religion.
BOKO HARAM: If you are not with us you are against us.
3) ISLAM: Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) lived with peaceful Christians and Jews as his neighbours.
BOKO HARAM: All non-Muslims mustleave the North.
4) ISLAM: You are only permitted toprotect yourselves when you are attacked first. And you should retaliate justly but when u gain an upper hand, u shld better forgive and leave everything to Allah.
BOKO HARAM: We attack all who stand in our way
5) ISLAM: A true Muslim is one fromwhose tongue and hands his community is safe.
BOKO HARAM: We do not care your religion. Muslim or Christian we will crush any who stands in our way.
6) ISLAM: Killing of innocent souls is a great sin. No human being has theright to take life except through thedue process of the Law.
BOKO HARAM: Allah will understand.He will not punish us.
7) ISLAM: During war, non-combatant women and children must not be touched. Talk less of peace time.
BOKO HARAM: We kill men, women and children.
ISLAM: At war time, all non-Muslims that run into their places of worship ortheir homes will not be harmed. Talk less of peace time.
BOKO HARAM: We bomb non-Muslims in their places of worship. We also kill Muslims in theirmosques and homes if we feel theyare a threat to us.
So who really are these people withwarped ideologies and intents?
I may not know what they are really out to achieve but I do know for sure they do not represent Islam. Rather, they are acting contrary to it's most sublime teachings: peaceful advocacy.
Of course, Islam strongly disapproves of corruption and incapable leadership!
LET'S WORK TOGETHER, REGARDLESS OF TRIBE AND RELIGION TO PROVIDEA BETTER TOMORROW FOR ALL. May Allah help us all

I don't believe you? give us quotations where we can see this in the Koran. If this is Islam then what are we saying. Why are they attacking Christians every where. So tell us the koran verses to confirm this.

bobthebuilder99: What does god have to do with jailing someone for 14 years?

The Quran says that infidels (non-Muslims) should be killed. So I take it you are ok with Muslims killing you because their religion says infidels are going to hell?

My bible says "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." If we are going to start jailing people for violating the rules in the bible, every Nigerian would be in jail.

PS - Muslims should not take offense to this post, because obviously it is only extremists who follow that part of the Quran.

I'm talking of Christian God here. don't confuse your self. There are various punishment for sin. No body is claiming to be holy or holiere than the other. At least that is not what we are saying. but Bible clealy condeaims homoxesual. now to be homoxesual is even one thing but to be homosexual and want to manupulate the bible by saying that Bible did not condem it and even want the soceity to legalise it, is another. If all the gays will acknowledge their sin and begin to ask God for forgiveness, then we can now talk about their repentance. but now the world want them to remain as they are, infact the world want to declare that homoxesual is good and normal; and on that note why will the world not also say that incest is good and normal infact they will soon be doing that becouse the days are evil. darkness is fast decending upon the world. Please evil is evil. I want to tell you that many homoxesuals have repented before and God helped them overcame homoxesual problem. Thay have since stopped such devilish act.

King harzyz: tell me if jesus knew about bibble itself...a question for you ...when jesus was alive was there a bible at All....

there was Bible when Jesus was arround. Infact Jesus red one during his time. The Bible was called scripture or Scroll then.

goyston: Tell them that most men love women, and most women love men. But that there are some men that love men, and some women love women, and this is okay too - it's the same.

To everyone saying this is the end-times: I think this is only the beginning of breaking down a barrier that has existed for hundreds of years. Nigeria received homophobia (fear of gays) from the British colonialists a long time ago, and the British are gone but the homophobia has stayed. It's an attitude/fear from the 1800s. If Naija wants to make progress it must have progressive social views, not stay with these old 1800s British ideas…SMH…

To everyone saying this will result in legalizing marrying animals, inbreeding, etc.: Why do you say that? Is there any evidence? Netherlands legalized gay marriage over 12 years ago and nobody is marrying animals or anything. Canada has had gay marriage since 2005, S. Africa since 2006, Norway since 2009, Argentina since 2010...many more..15 countries around the world have it legalized and none of them are even talking about or considering this inbreeding or polygamy or marrying animals or whatever nonsense you are talking about..so where do you get this idea that anybody wants to legalize any of these things if you legalize gay marriage? You made it up, there is no evidence. Adults should be allowed to marry any other adult they are in love with. It's not your business if they go to heaven or hell for it, or if you don't like it. They're adults and they make their own decisions - as long as their decision doesn't hurt you or anyone else, why is it your business?

Bible stated that any homosexual should be put to death and I know that many people like you are not happy with God because of this. If you are already infected with this evil, ask God to deliver you. Give you life to Jesus. Men should stop laying to themself. Nobody is born lesbian or homosexual. The truth is that when a child is growing up if she or he leaves a careless/anyhow life (If the morality of such is not well taught) the devil can take over him and made him/her to begin to have anomaly feeling. So negative will begin to attract negative and positive attract positive (which is very unnatural. so you can see why in a place like US and Europe many children will keep becoming homosexual or lesbians becouse they have bound open air preaching and stoped reliegion in schools. they also have mane gays arround then. no body cares about the moral standared in the society. The devil is realy having a nice time with them. And God that created man has said that any such anomaly should be destroyed. In a manufacturing company; any manufactured item that is not working well is always destroyed or re-manufactured to correct the anomaly, not left as it is, to continue working the way it like.

onitshaigbo: You are brandishing your ignorance of the Bible... Leviticus is for the Jews, not for the gentiles like us, except for those laws that God gave to all the children of Noah (including gentiles), which include sexual immoralities, of which homosexuality is an example.

Stop this. Are you ignorant? The whole Bible is given for the edification of the church. Jesus never said that any part of the bible should not be accepted. Don't say such thing again unless you are a secret-cult man.

vowiski: Rep approves, I doubt the President will accent to it.. So it is not a LAW.

Bunch of clowns..

How many years Jail term have they given to the Irresponsible governors in the Irresponsible NIGERIA GOVERNORS FORUM.

You can die for this if you like. Homosexual is evil and should be outlawed. There are many evil in the society and homosexual and incest is some of them. You are free to relocate to any of those areas were Devil has succeeded to introduce and legalize this evil act if you are not there already. Every soul that sins shall die. And “there is no piece for the wicked says the Lord”.

bobthebuilder99: I don't like bullies, or people that look down on other people.

A couple of decades ago, people were making these same noises when interracial marriage was legalized. It was wrong then, and it is wrong now.

I am not gay, so why should I care who another man is intimate with? Worrying about who other men are intimate with must make you even more gay than them. Are you jealous of them or something?

U should be sorry for ur self. U are not gay and you don't care about it in the society. U are so careless. Some people are interested to maintain the morality slandered of the society. Naturally opposite charges should attract each other and same charges should repel each other. I'm sure you don't also care about incest (Man sleeping with his mother and father sleeping with his daughter). Africans believe in God and God want purity and morally to be maintained. Bible prescribed death for any homosexual or lesbian. Sodomy is not new, God completely destroyed Sodom & Gomorrah because of evil such as this. We know that evil people don’t care about morality in the society. Many secret society fellows don’t care about morality in the society because everything is good and evil (there is no good and there is no evil. They want to introduce sodomy and bring back babylon into the World. U should be sorry for ur self. U are not gay and you don't care about it in the society. U are so careless. Some people are interested to maintain the morality slandered of the society. Naturally opposite charges should attract each other and same charges should repel each other. I'm sure you don't also care about incest (Man sleeping with his mother and father sleeping with his daughter). Africans believe in God and God want purity and morally to be maintained. Bible prescribed death for any homosexual or lesbian. Sodomy is not new, God completely destroyed Sodom & Gomorrah because of evil such as this. We know that evil people don’t care about morality in the society. Many secret society fellows don’t care about morality in the society because everything is good and evil (there is not good and there is not evil. We are not ignorant of the devises of the enemy.
Repent and give your life to Christ or you perish and go to hell.

Odenigbo Aroli: There should never be crime in Enugu;Reason,There is no business there,hence,no money to steal.However,during the time of Nnamani Enugu was considered a death zone because of the political killings,which was rife,then. Like I pointed out earlier,Enugu should never have any crime issues because its mostly a civil servants and residential city. Ain't nothing to celebrate,here. Chime to me hasn't done much because all he did was to continue the beautification of the Coal city,which was started by Nnamani,while the rest of the state perish in abject neglet. But most Enugites are too naive to see the writing on the wall. Soon as they see a few beautiful pictures of Enugu city their head swell and they instantly forget that Enugu state is still 90% undeveloped villages. So long as Enugu city is fine the rest of the state can kiss the dust. Very gullible if you ask me. Enugites need to elect a governor in the mold of Peter Obi to deliver them from the shackels of their elites.

U are the naive and ignorant one. Sorry for U. U cannot decipher a very simple issue like this. From Ages Enugu has always been calm and lively. Enugu is a very organized place to live. Do you know that even until now many civil servants of Anambra state still go to work to Awka from Enugu. This present IGP is not the first person to make this statement. Enugu was developed by the entire south-east and is more developed than any other part of south-east.
I'm not surprise that Enugu is peaceful. Do you know that they positioned two military barracks at the beginning and ending part of Enugu. They also have Air-force base in Enugu. The only GOC in South-South and South-east is leaving in Enugu. The security in Enugu is not bad at all.
When Okada people are freely working in Enugu, many military men usually join the Okada business in evening making security more assured.
U should be a Man (U are too old to be a boy)Ask Nigeria security intelligent, they will tell you that Enugu is monitored more than any other state in south-east and south-south.
U don't even know that when the Federal govt want to tackle the militants they usually send the military from Enugu(82 division)and when there were too many kidnapping in Aba the military was sent from 82 division Enugu to kill D man (Osisikankwu).
I won't say more than this, but even during Abacha time Enugu was choosing as the most peaceful state in the country. Are U still surprise that any young man/woman born and grown in Enugu find it difficult to live Enugu.
It is possible that more than 40% of Enugu residents are enlightened; so you can make Ur own conclusion.

Iyfe Namikaze: Dr.Tony, Martin Aghaji is the name of the doctor who chrged us such fees. If you know who he is, go and ask him if he remembers a patient who came to his hospital for chest surgery last december. If you thin i'm talking nonsense.. Go and ask him that. Ask him the ordeal,the prize he charged from us. God i weep just remebering that day. Go and ask Martin Aghaji a woman who needed a chest surgery last year december,and why she later didn't under go the surgery in UNTH. You think am making things up abi? Wicked doctors

Leave this guy alone he seem to have visited Dr aghaji's clinic and not UNTH

robonski15: The Bible says my people perish for lack of knowledge... There is no where in the bible that says puuting on of trousers is a sin.. Deuteronomy 22v5 says the woman shall not put on that which pertaineth unto a man neither shall a man put on a womans clothing..
If I amy ask, what did they where at that time? They all wore gown and skirts.. The bible talked about how the anointing ran down to aaron skirt.. What this verse is simply saying is that what a woman has put on,a man should not wear it specifically because of women distcharge,and not about the fashion..
What about long sleeves they fall into which category.. I think people don't really have time to study the scripure,people just come up with something and everyone agrees without finding out for themselves..
I pity the poor girl,I guess she has been brain washed totally.. She will probably be a deeper life member.. May God help us all..

Just be sure you are doing the right thing. At a time the Jews forced Moses to allow divorce. Christ made it plain that Moses was forced to allow divorce in their culture because of their pressure; it was not God's plan to allow divorce.
Preachers and many men pastors are already part of this, they already singing the song majority want them to sing. The issue is that when you are sincere you will tell yourself the truth. Trouser is for men in this context. If you don't want to obey that biblical verse, just don't try to change or manipulate it. Ok!

TechyGuy: That was the scripture she held on to but that doctrine has been wrongly thaught for a long time like you are doing now.
Try read it in other translations and get the picture:

MSG
5 A woman must not wear a man's clothing, nor a man wear women's clothing. This kind of thing is an abomination to God, your God.

GNT
5“Women are not to wear men's clothing, and men are not to wear women's clothing; the Lord your God hates people who do such things.

CEV
5 Women must not pretend to be men, and men must not pretend to be women.


NOTES:
1. It was a part of the whole law given to ONLY Isreal in the wilderness.
2. It din't ascribe any clothing to men, for example in many Nigerian culture the men wear skirt, tie wrappers, wear gowns etc. in Scotland, the traditional wear for men is skirt.
3. There is female trouser and male as well, they are not made same shape, right?
4. If you decide to keep the law then you should keep all of it (James 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.) hence how about these other verses before and after verse 5 you quote? See verse 9 and 11;
9 Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with divers seeds: lest the fruit of thy seed which thou hast sown, and the fruit of thy vineyard, be defiled.
11 Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts, as of woollen and linen together.


Lastly! Did you see verse 30 of the same chapter you quoted from? Here it is: Det 22:30 A man shall not take his father's wife, nor discover his father's skirt.

You seem to be confussed but I don't believe you are confused, you are only trying to paint and make those verse look the way you want. we are talking of trouser and not traditional wear.
Read that verse on and on. They are all saying the samething. Many Pastors have all yielded to saying what people want to hear so pls. go ahead and dress as you like. but don't try to manipulate the bible.

Screwface: Call on which Christians?
To do what exactly?
Obey the laws of the land ogbeni and stop sentimentalizing this thing jare!

“Christians” condemning another Christian for refusing to wear trouser. One thing is to do the wrong thing but it is another to encourage other to do the same.
What biblical understanding will make Christians to be angry with another Christian for not wearing trouser.
Bible said woman should not wear men's garment while men should not wear women garment. And this sister believe that trouser is for men, then not only that she was punished but her fellow Christians were even angry with her action.

So, you can see what is going on amongst Christians.
I won't waste my time to say anything special here but I want to specifically encourage this sister.

Sister please remain strong in your faith do not be moved but what people say but be moved by what the bible say. You will surely be rewarded, but pls. remain faithful. Sister you are not wrong at all if you did this based on your biblical faith.

PDPwayoo: Im from Delta State and im very sure Igbo man can never rule in our generation. Dont ever trust Igbo man; they are very tribal and love cheating other tribes.
I lost 1 million naira to an igbo man in Trade-fair market Lagos.

The task force or government in the trade-fair market is Igbos organized criminals. They will make sure you loss your money when they know you are not from Igbo and live in abroad.

In 2011, an old Igbo friend from University days ran away with the goods i sent him

My advise, if you are not from across the Niger river; be careful with Igbos though you cant avoid them especially when you doing business.

Mr lier U ar not from Delta, and ur are not an Igbo man. U are just one evil anti Igbo man, Igbo men did all this to U and U still wanted to marry Igbo girl. Stop crying and lieying against the Igbos. Ur hate on Igbos brings blessing to them.

9icest: The main global Jewish tribes are already established long ago by a well respected Jewish professor....
And they are: Sephardic (Southern European), Mizrahim (Oriental), The Ashkenazi (German, and mostly Northern Europe)...and the pure Hebrewic tribes.
The others are scattered all-over India, and some other parts of Northern America. The Ibos were never included. This was published in the international anthropological encyclopedia years ago. There is nothing as disturbing as people who dont even know their own roots. Check the Jewish culture...you have so little in similarity.
The so called Pentateuch which the Bulk of the Old Testament is pulled from is written in their original Hebrewic language and it has so much similiarity with the arabic which starts from the right side of the book, not the left. You dont even observe any of their Mitzvah, neither is their a Kosher dietary culture between you people. I pray you get answer to this identity crisis.

This is quite contrary, If anything can make me believe that Igbos are Hebrews; It is their culture. Infact as a Christian whenever I'm reading the book of Leviticus, I became afraid because I saw so many religious resemblances of what Igbo religious culture is doing. Pls. I'm very serious, What I saw in Leviticus looks so similar to Igbo religious culture. This is what makes me begin to wonder if Igbos have anything to do with the Israelis, even before I start to hear this rumor of Igbos been one of the lost tribe of Israel.
I hapen to relate to my village high prist(Local shrine priest). I'm a Christian but I saw what they used to do, and what they believe.

A-ZeD:
Drug peddling in Indonesia carries the death penalty and those foolish Nigerians refused to behave. They should face the music.

This magomago man want Nigerians executed even-if the drug peddlers have asked for mercy. U are real magomago patrotic Nigerman. U may not get mercy when U need one.

Obj failed to render help when an under-aged Nigerian was executred in Indonesis sometime ago. I commend GEJ move. This is a true spirit of patrotism.

Godman_n: When a child refuses to learn from history; he repeats the mistakes of his fathers.

GEJ and his advisers are daily trying to drags us back to the mistakes of 1966. Each time I think of the emergence of GEJ and the way he runs Nigeria; I see too many similarities with 1966 events.

I am an Igbo and proud. I believe the Igbos are special breed of people and believe Nigeria is different from other countries in Africa mainly because of the cultural influence of the Igbos and Southern Minorities. This does not mean to belittle the Hausas or the Yorubas.

I love the Hausa-Fulanis in particular, for their humility and frankness. The Yorubas surely, I call the English of Nigeria: with both the positive and negatives attributes of the English; for those that understand what makes and Englishman.

As an Igbo, I know the "IGBO-ENWE-EZE" spirit in us, made us unique. It enable us to believe in ourselves and to positively confront any challenge. It enable our poors, to work hard enough in order to challenge the rich. As a result there is no status-quo in Igbo land. Everyone is competing and rising. We have no kings (Forget the warrant Chief and 419 chief of later days). We share no hindrance to progress. We are always on the move for a better life. We have dragged Nigeria along and I am proud of this, even when other Nigerians failed to see this.

But a negative consequence of our culture is our lack of diplomacy, humility and decency. Study a typical OMATTA (a name for Igbo traders) and you see these traits. You cannot be a leader and lack decency and diplomacy. If you must rule, you must carry others along. At times, you must bend your back for those you lead to climb. That is leadership; that is the price that forerunners pay for those they lead.

Igbo achievers must learn this. While not trying to justify the wicked reaction of our northers brothers during the evil days of 19566 and after, Igbos would have guided Nigeria better if we have adopted some level of diplomacy then. Zik tried to do this, but could not succeed; he remain the best open-minded Nigerian leader when it comes to tolerating other tribes. The carriage of the Igbo elites made things difficult for him.

I hate GEJ with every passion because he has proven not to be intelligence and a non-student of history. I see him as another Ironsi in power. He is daily dragging Nigeria into another war, in a confused state of things; in the manners Ironsi did. While secretly posting his trusted person into positions, he still pretends to carry everyone along. This was Ironsi's strategy that back-fired. The day I say the last military postings, I shouted because it was obvious pro-south and not pro-Igbo as alleged.

The problem with Nigeria is that the Yorubas and Hausas see anybody that is not Hausa or Yoruba as Igbo. The persons GEJ is empowering are not all Igbos. They are mainly his South-South brothers. In the process, because we have shared close links with South-south, Igbo names must emerge. Afterall majority of the so-called south-south are Igbos that were cajoled to denounce Igbo after the war. The Ikweres, Kwales, Ogoja are glaring examples. Even the Igedes in Benue sound Igbo. I am sure some names from kogi also sounds Igbo. So we end up having names from Delta, Bayelsa, River, Cross river, Benue, Kogi; all sounding Igbo. Whenever the Huasa and Yorubas lose out to any of these people; becomes Igbo domination.

We Igbos must tread very carefully. GEJ does not represent out interest. He cannot set us up, against other tribes ion Nigeria. If we choose to fight another war; it must not be another man's war. It must be a war for an interest not anti-Igbo in the first place. I suspect GEJ interest in power is anti-Igbo. His interest is purely for personal aggrandizement and nobody should allow himself to be used.

The Interest of the Igbos is in a progressive and working Nigerians. The other tribes in Nigeria must get this. The Igbos must try to pass this message across because even when you have a mad brother (assuming the North and West are?), you must try to carry him along. One that fights a mad man is also mad. If Igbos fight other tribes; we all will die and no one will come out unscathed.

In the final analysis whatever problem in the army promotion is a problem with GEJ. He is a manipulative leader that has failed to be fair to all; Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo and all the other minorities including Ijaw inclusive. Empowering few Ijaw men is not for the best interest of Ijaw nation. The best interest of Ijaw nation is for Nigeria to work.

Our best interest is a nation where all of us can reach our full potentials. This is not a difficult task. It is the criminals that govern us that denied all of us these. The Nigerian cake is good enough for all of us. Our problem is corruption and not tribalism.

Let the wealth of the nation go round; to all and sundry. To all Igbos; to all Hausas; to all Yorubas; to all minorities. My usage of minorities does not mean they are inferior to us in any way. It only mean that today we happen to be more in number. Tomorrow, they can be more.

I dought if U are an Igbo Man. wake up before it is too latew for. Ur thibking about GEJ is cpmpletly wrong!

seunny4lif: Thank you ooo,he is a funny guy by thinking nigerian military na child's play...

It is well known fact that the Hausa Fulani and Yoruba’s have filled the Nigerian Army. they own the barrack even though the Yorubas can't talk when the Hausas are angry hence the barrack seems to belong to the Hausas alone.
The right thing should be done, other Ethnic group (ie. Igbos, etc) should get their own share. So why is this hypocrites crying foul. Infact Federal government should site another NDA in SE part of this country for security & equity. The complainant “eGorilla” want balance of everything in the country including the air and seaport. So I want Nigeria to quickly upgrade and completely dredge all the seaport in SE part of this country even as they are already trying to balance the military.
The COAS should also pls. reconfirm that all the Igbo officers whose promotions have been grounded receive their promotion. Evil will slay the wicked. He that digs a pit shall fall in it. Ok U think that because the Igbos have not gone to UN or drag Nigeria to WC, it means they are not aware of all the marginalization going on in the military against the Igbos.
This “exGorilla” is mistaken. I agree with him, let everything be balanced including the military. So pls. bring the military list for crosschecking and equity balancing.

Even the Igbos should be given opportunity to loot Nigerian money as Yoruba’s and Hausas have been doing since more than 38 years now, even though the wealth is coming from the SE/SS part of the country. Ingrates!

Chameleons are waking up! Deceptive and back stabbers are all waking up and piping. Tomorrow U will hear them saying that Yoruba’s are friends to the Igbos. Igbos should be very careful of the Yoruba’s. Hausas/Fulani have noted this for long.
They are busy somewhere inciting the Abokis and Bokoharam against the SE. Pushing the Abokis to start fight and they will come and claim the champion letter. U'r mistaken if U think it will work like that again.

KnowAll: [size=16pt]The Igbo's generally have a penchance for discrimation and nepotism, it is in their DNA, any wonder why this story should be looked at critically. We all read about the Immigration Igbo boss, how she undermined her boss when she began a camapign of calumny and imbalance recruitment exercise within the Immigration dept.

She went as far as recruiting not only igbo's in disproportinate numbers but when as far as recruiting a whole hoard of disdainful characters from her ward, if this despicable atitude is not overwhealming evidence of the Igbo man's psyche , what can be further from the thruth[/size].

Even from what U call U'rself, U seem to be halfbaked. Growup first.

dayokanu: You are a morronn Anuofia.

Why should anyone give Ibos money after the war. All the money in Central bank Benin and Enugu before the war, what happened to it you thieves.

Who is holding Bafra back, Go and declare your useless Biafra leeches and return to your homeland.

Osiskankwu, Derico, Nwude/Anamjeba, Otokoto, Clifford Orji, Malaysian drug mules Tobechukwu Onwuhara everything wrong with Nigeria is from your useless tribe

Anumanu. Cowards generation of a fleeing warlord

Mad Dog have started again, So U still exist? Shameless adamant Lizard

baysol: By all means who cares. The only thing this time around is their will be less charity and liniency for cockroaches.

Mr. man don't waste your saliva, just start something foolish, let’s try it again, If U are sure your are right like the time of 1966. Start something again. You have lost. You are a failure everything. You think the Igbos will fight again with their hand again. Even everybody from the SE/SS have seen the true nature of things. We know better now!
