Also a minister is more likely to have the ears of the president than a senator. When buhari appoints you as minister it is as good as being elected for a 4-year term because the guy does not sack, hope this helps |
Giannakopoulos:[color=#006600][/color] I suppose one way to look at it is at every given time there’ll be 109 senators but at no time will there ever be more than 1 Min for Niger Delta. Come to think of it this is a choice between being a Minister and a nobody since Akpabio lost the senatorial elections. In terms of Budgetary allocations the Niger Delta ministry dwarfs the entire senate, I believe. |
I am Igbo but these so-called Ipobians are useless and any sane man that condones this callous act needs to have his senses checked. They attack a defenceless man? Where were they when Nigerian soldiers were murdering their people? They claim to be Biafrans yet they are in Germany, far, far away from the very people they claim to love, is that not hypocrisy of the highest order? Kanu sits in his ivory tower and incites senseless Ipobians to commit violence , I wonder why the government cannot even extradite him sef ![]() |

In the North. there are only 3 socio-political groups that matter: Arewa Youths Consultative Forum, Northern Elders' Forum and Miyetti Allah, anything outside these three is a counterfeit. The leaders of these groups have come out to say that they cannot stop Tinubu from being president but that he cannot be anything other than the president of Oduduwa Republic, yet people are here masturbating over the news of one irrelevant Northern group of undergraduate students endorsing Tinubu's candidature? Before now has anyone ever heard of this group? In Fela's voice; Them start magic Them bring flame, them bring hat Them conjure, them bring rabbit Them bring egg, them bring smoke Them dey scream, them dey fall Them conjure, spirit catch them Them dey fall, them dey scream Them dey shout Them dey, them dey say UNKNOWN SOLDIER TINUBU GO BECOME UNKNOWN SOLIDER FOR 2023. THEN UNA EYE GO CLEAR. YEYE PEOPLE |
LegendHero:[color=#006600][/color] If you look at the number of people who did not win the Nobel prize in lit. you'll sooner learn not to attach too much importance to it. Not that I begrudge Wole Soyinka, certainly not (I'm Igbo but I think he's a better writer than Achebe.) If people like James Joyce, Vladimir Nabokov then I don't think it is an important prize, considering that a man like Hemingway won it! |
[color=#006600][/color] LegendHero:Please let's stop all this talk of what tribe is the more educated of the two, the so-called education is even that of the white man and about his past and his history. If the argument had been which of the two tribes is more knowledgeable about her own history then yes it might be acceptable. At the end of the day we are one. A white man doesn't care if you are Igbo or Yoruba, all he sees is a monkey. Let us learn to love ourselves. PS Philip Emegwali (an Igbo man) has the highest IQ ever recorded for an African, he has an IQ even higher than that of Albert Einstein. please before you say I'm lying google it. |
SamNaijaboy:[color=#006600][/color] Don't worry too much about this, the choice for PDP in 2023 will be between Tambuwal and Kwankwaso. The VP slot will go to the SS this time so as not to alienate Northern voters (I'm thinking Wike.) Now I'm not so sure about Tambuwal, but if for any reason Kwankwaso appears on the ballot then it will well and truly be the end of APC, irrespective of whom they field (They can field El Rufai for all I care they will still lose) One thing you've got to understand is that PDP is and will always be a Northern party. SS and SE are merely holding the fort for them until 2023, so to speak. In 2023 they will revert to being in the vanguard of the party, as had been so from inception. To the Northerners, APC was only a vehicle to get to the promised land (presidency) in 2015. To those who think Buhari will insist on Tinubu's presidency, I ask, is it the same Buhari who relies on the cabal for even his ministerial list that will insist on Tinubu?. Buhari is not strong-willed. APC can implode for all he cares. SW don't know what they are up against. As someone once rightly said, The North has a powerful friend and they never walk alone.' |

Sowore is not a revolutionary! The man at best can be described as an opportunist. If he were a smart guy he should have known that in order for a revolution to succeed it should be faceless. A revolution must be without a face. He went to New York and met with Kanu who deceived him to call for a revolution, forgetting that Kanu is only clamouring for a revolution from a very safe distance. The guy dull abeg. How can Nigerians say that, in Sowore, they have found a revolutionary? For Heaven's sake he contested an election and lost. Was he expecting to win in the first place? Sowore is like a student who prepares very well for an exam and upon realizing he failed called for its cancellation. To those Nigerians who want a revolution without spilling blood, I say, dream on. |
[color=#006600][/color] Safitu:Now I see why some guys dont even think twice before using a girl for money rituals, is your father not a man? from your statement it shows your father na serious poor man otherwise you would not have made this statement, if money was that easy to make why not make it? After all Mariah Caey na still woman, even Asa sef no be woman she be? |
Amudeneogu:[color=#006600][/color] This is sadly one of the ills of colonization. Before colonization we were all the same, we saw ourselves as equals, but now because you manage to write Jamb and go to a university you have the effrontery to say a fellow human being is uneducated. Sorry op but for you to make this statement it shows your so-called education has been nothing a waste. |
Legendguy:[color=#006600][/color] The op is quite right, a soldier is a person who serves in the Army, and an army is simply an organized military force trained to fight on land. If the op had used the word combatant for example then yes you would be right to say that they are all combatants. The airforce are a branch of the armed forces NOT the army, as the army itself is also a branch of the armed forces. |
@op abeg talk wetin you want na Bleep you wan Bleep abi na relationship you want, if na Bleep carry 500 go ashawo house but if na relationship you want then you are on a very long thing indeed, @ op be warned , our elders say that a war that is announced beforehand does not kill a cripple. You know nothing but danger lies ahead yet you wan put head |
[color=#006600][/color] partnerbizz5:It is like the man in the proverb who upon learning he is to be burnt alive, douses himself in palm oil and proceeds to sit by the hearth. Tell me who would believe that nothing happened between the two of them whilst he was alive (even though it is quite possible.) You speak as though you are not African. A man does not marry a woman old enough to be his mother. You call it love? I call it shame. Picture it this way: something happens to you and then your husband proceeds to marry your housemaid, now tell me who would believe that he had nothing to do with this housemaid all along? Even if she wanted to remarry, she could have at least married someone else, someone her age and not close to the family. Her husband's memory is not sacrosanct to her, women think with their pussies. |
This Suntai Danbaba's case weak me abeg. Hitherto this had been the one woman who had made me believe that however remotely impossible it seems, a woman can still love a man, but seeing this now, I can say without equivocation that a woman can never love a man. You should have seen how this woman cared for her husband, in fact, I would very happily have lived a short life and be cared for by a woman as she did for her husband than to live to be as old as Methuselah without that kind of care. This woman stood or rather appeared to stand by her husband, she was proud or rather appeared to be proud of him. To those who have wives at home, I'm sorry but your wives do not love you. No woman could love a man as this woman loved (or again appeared to love) her husband and if she can condescend to marry his PA then my dear friends there is no love. Ah, she could not even wait for the corpse to turn cold! Women are truly demons. To those who have never seen demons before, look no further, for they have been with us right from the very beginning. We even sleep with them, they cook for us, we even tell them we love them. |

Ojukwu was a coward, Awolowo betrayed Ojukwu, yes I agree, but he did what he thought would serve Yoruba interests best, at least he had the interests of the Yoruba people at heart. But the question to all my Igbo brothers is this: Did Ojukwu have the interests of Ndi Igbo at heart? The answer is no. Ojukwu could have been a hero only if he had the courage to commit suicide. To those who think it doesn't take courage to commit suicide please go and buy a bottle of sniper and see if fear go allow you drink am. Why did Ojukwu deceive the Igbos with empty rhetorics. He once boasted that no nation in Black Africa could defeat Biafra, and that even if they were attacked, the grass would rise up and fight for them. He made these boasts knowing fully well that in the entire Eastern region they had only 128 rifles just before the outbreak of the war. I am Igbo and I do not like Awolowo, but you cannot take away the fact that he loved his people more than Ojukwu loved his people. |
I would like to believe someone in primary school wrote this, this work (if I may call it that) is replete with grammatical blunders. Your syntax is incoherent, the punctuation is wrong, wrong, wrong! Please stop addressing yourself as a writer. Try your hand at something else, writing is quite patently not for you. I strongly recommend Brighter Grammar Bks 1 -4. |
[color=#006600][/color] SocialJustice:Abeg that GCFR wen them give MKO make you go collect am abeg, you too much. I pity the other fool that thinks you can keep a woman with anything other than money. I have often said that the mind of a woman is as fickle as a flame in the wind. A woman would sleep with the ugliest man in the world for woman. @op no carry woman matter for head, you deserve it, I can't understand guys that would leave their own parents to start taking care of a girl simply because of kpekus. This is why I am a strong advocate of going to brothels. |
''as heavy as the weight of 100 men tied together'' I think in losing a girl you have found your calling as a writer, so cheer up But @op you are a very gullible guy, so you knew she was cheating on you and you no pursue am? |
[color=#006600][/color] kiyosaki1:The problem with Nigerians is we are not very good students of history. It is sacrilegious to refer to Abiola as the hero of democracy in Nigeria. If you were a good student of history you would know that it was the same Abiola alongside people like Adesunbo Onitri, Sen Sikiru Shitta Bey, etc that instigated Abacha(who at the time was the Sec of Defence) to overthrow the Interim National Government led by Chief Shonekan, simply because the latter refused to hand over power to him (Abiola) And when Abacha too reneged on his promise to hand over power within 6 months he went ahead to make the now infamous Epetedo declaration which led to his arrest and ultimately his death. Please get your facts right Abiola was a monster of democracy, I'm yet to know of any civilian who was involved in as many coup d' etats as Abiola. Buhari is even being very magnanimous because the same Abiola was also instrumental in the 1985 coup that sacked his government. |

As a writer, I think I am in a better position to comment on this topic. Firstly you must appreciate that Achebe's mastery of the English language was second to none, although he did not have a flair for words as Soyinka does. In terms of scene depiction, Achebe was a genius. Achebe could describe a scene like none other. Achebe had total control of his audience, he knew how to keep them on their toes, wanting and practically begging for more. This is a feat Soyinka simply could not achieve. But in terms of consistency, I'll give it to Soyinka. Soyinka's best work till date remains Death and the King's Horseman (The first time I opened this book I knew I was in literary heaven). If one were to take this work away from Soyinka, Soyinka will still be Soyinka. But if you take Things Fall Apart away from Achebe, Achebe will be a nobody. He'll be like a disrobed emperor. His other works were quite quotidian. Achebe was a master storyteller and writer, and Soyinka, more of a writer than a story teller. If I had to choose between the two, I'd choose Soyinka, and that's only because storytelling in itself is a more difficult craft to master than writing. Things fall apart is not a book, it is a bible. |
[color=#006600][/color] comradee1248:@op I will advise you as someone who's been in that situation before. Most people giving advice have never been in that situation before so please don't listen to them, especially the useless ones asking you to sleep with her. Please secretly do a DNA test, and if you are their father then please if possible straight from the hospital whisk them away, don't even bother coming back to that house. The worst thing that can happen to a man is for a woman to take his child to someone else, if you want me to kneel down for you I will but please leave that woman otherwise ...(I will not be the one to complete the statement but a word is enough for the wise) |
thunderfirebuha:The greatest enemy of the Igbos are the Igbos themselves |
whether or not anyone agrees with the op, it doesn't take away the truth from what he said. All women are whores, take it or leave it. And I believe I'm in a better position to know this, I'm an incorrigible philanderer, quite inveterate if you like. Women are whores-all of them, from A-Z. To those men who are so blind as not to see women for what they are, I sincerely pity you guys. There is none so blind as those who have eyes but have refused to see. Last last una go know. |
This op sef, is he even a man, a man that cannot keep anything from his wife, na wa o. They say that a child who likes fight must be ready for a swollen head. But I no blame you sha, you no even sabi cheat. That aside, I don't trust your wife at all, it will be a big mistake to trust your wife with your other child. If she wants to divorce then let her go, there are millions of women out there. A child you failed to acknowledge, all of a sudden you want full custody? come to think of it e be like say na your wife dey control you sef, as things stand you have two wives whether or not you like it, just kukuma marry the other girl, theres nothing wrong in having two wives, our fathers did it To quote Amaechi, 'There comes a time in life when a man must be a man.' |
