MissRaine69:
Good luck with your looks.
I will pass.
I hate it when women complain about guys only wanting them for their pussies. But I ask what more has a woman got to give other than a pussy (which more often than not reeks) Or is it their loyalty? Of course, we all know that trusting a woman is as good as digging one's own grave. As far as I am concerned women are only good for three things: 1, Pussy 2. Pussy 3. Pussy

M. A. Abubakar and APC can go and die.

Let me see what an APC without a Buhari will look like in 2023.

The God of Nigerians is alive.

I wanted to pity Kwankwaso in Kano, then I remembered how they gave Buhari a fictitious 1.9 million votes and killed Kano REC in 2015.

All those who ganged up against a harmless and well-meaning GEJ, has all had a taste of their own pill.

Atiku
Kwankwaso
Saraki.

Beware of the man who walks away after you've hurt him.

I think Karma is real.
youve said it all, Kwankwaso deserves this, they forgot that he who rides on the back of a tiger eventually ends up in it s belly, If GEJ had won in 2015, there's no way Saraki would have suffered the kind of indignation he suffered in the hands of Kwarans, GEJ would have helped rigged him in. In the end GEJ emerged winner

Remember your mother has a Nigerian pussy. To your claim of white girls having better pussies, this is only because you've never bleeped a white girl before. Mind you, I am married to one and have slept with more white women than you have with black women. My verdict is this: Nothing beats a black pussy. You can take this to the bank, it's as good as legal tender. A white woman that you'll be bleeping and will not even feel her walls, even the one that gets deflowered today by tomorrow the pussy becomes as loose as a wizard's sleeves As for the smell, this has nothing to do with race. I once fingered a white girl and my finger stank for the next two days. I had to use bleach on it eventually

I am quite aware that when Igbos on this forum begin to lose an argument, they resort to insults.

Go back home and ask your owners who the military governor of Eastern region was between 19th January - 27th May, 1967?

Then while you are at it, ask them if it is true that the NigerDelta republic was declared on 23rd February, 1966 and lived for 12days before the federal might, ordered by Aguiyi Ironsi (an Igbo man) and carried by Ojukwu head of the Eastern region (another Igbo man).

I hope they'll be able to tell you the truth.

If your response to this is going to be an insult, just package it and give it to your people. I'm not interested. Understood?
you have no idea how the military works.
At the time 1 Battalion, Enugu (under the leadership of Lt/Col. David Ogunewe) was the closest fighting unit stationed in the region. The Boro rebellion began on Feb 23, 1966, and lasted for 12 days. Ojukwu lacked the powers to give orders to a battalion commander, he was a mere administrator. Only the 2 Brigade in Lagos or Army Headquarters, Lagos could give orders to the 1 Battalion commander in Enugu. So it follows that Boro was crushed by troops of 1 Battalion, under the leadership of Col Ogunewe and under the orders of the Supreme Commander, Maj Gen Ironsi. I repeat no one else could have given such orders (Even a Brigade commander gets his orders form Army Hq)

Let us just say you don't have the mind of a revolutionary. Your thinking is weak like putty. No Biafran wants Atiku or Buhari. We are rejecting both evil because we want to overthrow evil. We don't want to cast a positive vote for either evil no matter the circumstances. We are Biafrans. We have no interest in Nigerian elections but we are no longer boycotting. That does not mean we will vote. It is up to you Nigerians to save yourselves from Bubu Buhari. That your blackmail of if I don't vote then I vote for Buhari is lousy. I can never vote for evil. And Atiku is evil. If I ever vote or persuade anyone to vote I will vote my conscience and that is for the best Presidential Candidate. But if I tell you that the best candidate is [color=#990000]Prof. Muoghalu and all youth should swing behind him, you will say it is because he is Igbo. You Nigerians have a hopelessly corrupt way of thinking.
Two days ago boycotting was the best thing to have happened to the Igbos since sliced bread, now voting isn't such a bad idea after all. Why? Because a Senegalese (Nnamdi Kanu) living in London said so. Sometimes I regret being Igbo. The Igbos are like the girl in the class no one wants to date and any adventurer that comes her way who so much as opens his mouth sweeps her off her feet. A goat can come to Igboland today and the Igbos will make him their king all because he supports Biafra.

I don't have anything to win here anyway so there is nothing for me to lose too. I have read many threads and watch videos about how dangerous this journey is but I don't care. I have made up my mind 100% already so no going back. I just need advice on how much that can take me to Europe preferable through Algeria/Morocco. If anyone can help me with all the information I would need or someone that can help out on this..



Please abeg dont try it, if you want me to kneel down and beg you I will kneel down. I have lived abroad for a good few years now and it is not worth the risk at all, let us assume you even survive that very tortuous journey, when you get to Europe they will put you in a detention camp for years, you cannot even work, and if you manage to escape all you'll end up doing is picking tomatoes in summer for 5 euros a day. But if your life doesn't mean anything to you or you are not scared of dying and perhaps leaving an aged mother behind then please travel ossiso.

Stop allowing yourself to be deceived by Kanu. The constitution does not provide for a plebiscite. Kanu sits in his ivory tower in London with cash donations pouring in from far and wide, meanwhile, the gullible Igbo men and women are being slaughtered daily in the streets. When will Igbos understand that Biafra is Ojukwu's fantasy, his plaything? Igbos are the most gullible people in the world, I'm ashamed to be Igbo. Even the American constitution does allow for secession. The people of Connecticut cannot wake up tomorrow and decide they want to secede.

I don't see anything wrong in what the Mallam said. Why should the EU & US monitor or observe our elections in Africa? When they hold their elections in Britain or America do Africans go there in a monitoring capacity? And in case Nigerians forget, it is the same USA that supported Buhari, albeit clandestinely, in 2015. Perhaps if they had not supported him Nigerians would not now be in the situation they find themselves in today. Africans should wake up, was it not the UK that removed Obote and installed Idi Amin as Head of State? Who killed Patrice Lumumba and helped Mobutu take over power? The Belgians and the Americans. Who killed Thomas Sankara, the only reasonable leader we've had till date in Africa? The Belgians. And Jean-Bedel Bokassa? Who helped install him as ruler of CAR?? This meddlesomeness must stop!

PS I'm not a supporter of APC, in fact, I would rather they were voted out of power.

I am an incurable womaniser, I am so bad that I can sleep with even two sisters, but I will never sleep with a married woman, not because of magun, but only as a MARK of respect to her husband, a fellow man.

Nigerians are their own greatest enemies. Little wonder Nzeogwu said in 1966 he was prepared to sacrifice a million Nigerians for his revolutionary aims. It is sad to believe that in a country of 200 million, the best we can get as president is a man little more lively than a corpse. To those chanting Buhari, I ask: what has he done for you.? I won't even talk about Atiku because a man like that in any sane country would have been hanged.

By the way, those who think Buhari would hand over power to Atiku were he to lose are dreamers. Buhari would rather see Nigeria burnt to the ground than hand over power.

The problem with Nigeria is someone passes Waec and then begins to see himself/herself as being part of the intelligentsia, if you know anything about how the coup happened then you'll know there is no way in the world Jack could have accorded Nzeogwu a state burial, was it the same Nzeogwu that wanted to kill him on the night of Jan 15? Even Ojukwu could have been killed by Nzeogwu were it not for Madiebo. And then you say they attended his funeral, fyi some people to this day believe Ojukwu had a hand in the death of Nzeogwu because Nzeogwu was more popular among the junior ranks and everyone (Ojukwu included) was scared of him.

GAYbriel check the YouTube videos and see how the then head of state Gen Gowon honored him and even poured sand in his grave along side with other generals including Ojukwu...The burial was mother of all burials in 60's
He was buried in Kaduna.. Thank me letter for educating you GAYbriel.
Please stop saying what you do not know. Don't misinform the public. Nzeogwu was never accorded a state burial, he was buried in Kaduna with full military honours. There is a difference between a state burial and a military burial, all soldiers who die in active service are entitled to a military burial. He in fact died in July 1967 when he engaged troops of 21 Battalion whilst carrying out a night recce, and his body taken to Kaduna by the Federal troops. He was the Chief Instructor of the Nigerian Military Training College before the Jan coup and so was loved by most of the Northern soldiers.
A state of war existed then between Nigeria and Biafra, how then could Ojukwu have gone to Kaduna?? Even the Aburi conference that was held on Jan 4/5 of 1967 (before war broke out) took place in Ghana because Ojukwu did not feel he'd be safe enough in Nigeria
Get your facts straight, again calling Ojukwu a general? I wonder who made him a general, Ojukwu was a Lt/Col.

How I weep for my people! Are we too blind to see that the real culprit is the white man, that he and he alone is to blame for the enmity that now exists between? Instead of fighting the white man we fight amongst ourselves. Please let us learn to love and tolerate one another, it doesn't matter whether you are Tiv or Ibibio or Annag or Fulani or Yoruba or Igbo.


NB Not all Yorubas are cowards. In 1966, the coupists had offered to spare Lt Col Fajuyi since he was not their target, but being the gallant soldier that he was, he refused, saying instead that as Ironsi was his visitor (Ironsi had been on an official tour of Western Nigeria when he was killed), it was his duty to protect him. And so, Col Fajuyi followed his commanding officer Ironsi, an Igbo man, to his grave.
In the same vein, not all Igbos are brave, did Ifeajuna (the mastermind of the Jan 15 coup) not flee to Ghana after it was crushed by Ironsi?

All of this is not the main issue. The main issue is that Gowon and Ojukwu signed an agreement in Ghana. Gowon caused the entire problem when he chose to break that agreement. Had Gowon kept to the agreement he signed, there would have been no war
I get your point, I know of the pogroms where over 70,000 Ibos were killed in the North. Yes, that was beyond Ojukwu's control, that was also beyond Gowon's control. That perhaps was the first and only coup in Nigeria in which civilians took an active part. In fact, at some point, Northern civilians had planned to execute a few Northern soldiers so as to give the impression that the Southerners were at it again. This was to spur them (Northern soldiers) into executing the second coup. The Northerners wanted to revenge the killings of their leaders that were killed on Jan 15. Perhaps if Nzeogwu and co had killed a few important Igbo people (Like Mbadiwe, Zik, M.I. Okpara, Ironsi and so on ) in 1966, the civil war may never have been fought. By failing to kill any Igbo man (save Col Arthur Unegbe who was the Quarter Master General of the Nigerian Army), that coup, no matter how you look at it, had the semblance of an 'Igbo' coup, even though it was NOT an Igbo coup.
Secondly, if Ironsi had executed the coup plotters perhaps the North would not have been so eager to retaliate.
Another thing that angered the North was Ironsi's unification decree (Decree no. 34). Ironsi should not have done that. It was a very insensitive thing to do, considering Nigeria was then a Federalist state in the strictest sense of the word.

The agitation for secession did not start with the Igbos, in fact, it was the Northerners who wanted to secede at first after Ironsi's unification decree, and that is why the second coup was codenamed 'Operation Araba'. Araba is an Hausa word which means to break or divide

How can a man with balls between his two legs leave what belongs to him and ran away even without anybody chasing him?
Everybody begged him to stay, Ojukwu even promised to release a broadcast to support his taking over the government, Ejoor promised the same thing as well, but he did not want to die like Ironsi, so he made way. A Northern sergeant had refused to obey his orders, saying he could only obey them if they came from his Commanding Officer, a Northerner in the person of Capt Joe Garba, if my memory serves me right. It was this incident that made him conclude his best option was to flee

You are totally wrong. After the death of Ironsi, Brigadier Ogundipe was the highest ranking officer in addition to being chief of General staff. He should have been the next to take over and Ojukwu insisted that it should be so. However, the coup plotters insisted it should be Gowon, who was far junior to Ogundipe. Gowon assumed power, retired Ogundipe, and Ojukwu was not happy with this. This was one of the reasons why the then President of Ghana, General Joe Ankrah got Gowon and Ojukwu to sit down in Aburi and find a solution to their problem. After 2 days of deliberating, Gowon and Ojukwu reached an agreement which both men signed. In fact, before they signed, President Ankrah read out the agreement to both men and asked if they were happy with it, both men said yes. In return for Ojukwu recognising Gowon as head of state and keeping the Eastern Region in Nigeria, Gowon would keep to the Aburi agreement.

When Gowon and Ojukwu returned to Nigeria, Gowon started refusing to implement some parts of the agreement. On the 26th of May 1967, Gowon broke the most important part of the agreement by abolishing the 4 Regions and creating 12 states without consulting anybody. The Aburi agreement held that Gowon could only do this if the 4 Military Governors of time agreed with such a move. This was the begining of the 'divide and rule' system the North uses to dominate the rest of Nigeria to this day

With the Aburi agreement broken by Gowon, Ojukwu had no other choice than to declare the Easter Region as Biafra. It was either he did that or let his people become slaves of the North.

Gowon's breaking of the Aburi agreement is what led to the war.

Another thing I want to say is that in terms of seniority, Ojukwu was senior to Gowon. Yes it is true that Gowon became an officer before Ojukwu joined the Army but the reason Ojukwu became senior to Gowon was that Ojukwu entered the civil service before Gowon.

Ojukwu became an assistant district officer in in 1955. When Ojukwu became an Army officer in 1957, the authorities considered this an extension of his civil service and backdated his commission date to 1955. Gowon on the other hand became a commissioned officer in 1956. So while it is true that Gowon Joined the Army before Ojukwu, in the eyes of the Government, Ojukwu is senior to Gowon
Ogundipe was not retired, please get your facts right. He ran away first to Ghana and then resurfaced in Britain. Ojukwu and Lt/Col David Ejoor(Military Gov of Mid-Western Region) begged him profusely to take over govt but he refused because he was scared of being killed. Gowon later appointed him Nigeria High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, a post he left in 1970.

Please do endeavour to read my comment very well before replying. I did say that after Ironsi, Brig-Gen Ogundipe was the next in line. But the general chose to abscond because he feared for his life. And Gowon by virtue of his position as COAS was the defacto 3rd in command. Gowon was commissioned on his 21st birthday Oct 1955, not in 1956 as you will have people believe. Ojukwu received his commission in March 1958. How can you say that because Ojukwu joined the civil service he was superior to Gowon? FYI the army is not part of the civil service but rather part of the PUBLIC service. Please this is a very wrong analogy
And if you must know it was Major Murtala who planned and executed the second coup, not even Gowon. Gowon was simply a beneficiary as the then most senior officer of Northern origin in the army. The young Northern officers who were involved in that coup (Capt Theophilus Danjuma, Lt Buhari, Babangida and co) wanted Murtala to take over and not Gowon, Murtala ALLOWED Gowon to be head of state. It was seen as a Northern coup, a reprisal for the Jan 15 coup, ergo they felt only a Northerner could become head of state.

Kurobo fought on the Biafran side before defecting to the Nigeria side. Ojukwu did take a Benz to Gabon, he first fled to Gabon in the company of Madiebo who was the Chief of Army Staff of the Biafran Army.
I think to some extent we Igbos have been unfair to the Northerners who had accommodated us. For example, Ojukwu and Zik were both born in Zungeru, Niger State.

Zakariya Maimalari, a Fulani and Commander 2 Brigade, Lagos was more suited to and perhaps more qualified for the role than Ironsi. As of 1966, there were 5 battalions in the Nigerian Army,
1 Battalion, Enugu, was commanded by Lt/Col Adekunle Fajuyi, a Yoruba man
2 Battalion, Lagos, was commanded by Col Hilary Njoku, an Igbo man
3 Battalion, Kaduna, was commanded by Col Kurobo, from present-day Rivers State, Don't forget there was nothing like Rivers State then as it was part of the Eastern Region
4 Battalion in Ibadan was commanded by Lt Col Abogo Largema, a Northerner
5 Battalion in Kano was commanded by the Ikemba Nnewi himself, Ojukwu

This meant 3 battalions were commanded by Easterners, one by a Yoruba and one by a Northerner

Firstly I'd like to put this issue of Ojukwu fighting for the people of Biafra to bed. The major reason that led to the war was Ojukwu's refusal to accept Gowon as head of state. After Ironsi the next in line was Brig. Babafemi Ogundipe who was the Chief of Staff, Supreme Military Hq (the defacto V/President). Gowon was effectively the third-in-command as he was the Chief of Staff, Army Hq. But because he and Gowon were promoted Lt/Cols on the same day (April 1, 1964), he felt he couldn't take orders from him, even though Gowon had received his commission as a 2/Lt (in Oct 1957) before Ojukwu even joined the Army (For those who do not know Ojukwu joined the Army as an NCO). But because Ojukwu was a very conceited and egotistic individual he felt he wasn't subordinate to Gowon. And when Gowon had called on the morning of July 29, 1966, to inform him of his intention to take over the government as Brig. Ogundipe, a Yoruba man, had scampered, Ojukwu said and I quote, 'Jack, I don't know what you mean but you cannot take over here in the East, maybe in Lagos but certainly not in the East.'

Ojukwu failed to realise that there were other much senior officers of Southern origin who were overlooked by Ironsi in appointing him Military Governor of Eastern Region in 1966. I cannot remember all of them, but there was Lt/Col Alex Madiebo; Col Philip Effiong; Col Hilary Njoku outgoing Cmdr 2 Batallion, Lagos; Col George Kurobo, Cmdr 3 Batallion, Kano and so on. I cannot remember all their names.

And when Biafra's defeat was imminent he fled in the dead of the night with his entire family and his Mercedes B[color=#006600]
enz car, is that who you call a hero?
For those who may think I am an Afonja, sorry to disappoint you I am Igbo, in fact, I was named after Ojukwu. my first name is Emeka
A slight correction George Kurobo was the CMDR 3 Batallion in Kaduna NOT KANO, whilst Ojukwu was CMDR 5 Batallion, Kano before he was appointed Military Gov Of the Eastern Region

What a narrative. First of all, Zik was Governor General of Nigeria and it's first President. Zik was always senior to Tafawa Balewa, both in government and politics. Ojukwu led us in a war of freedom and independence. That's to show you we value our freedom and we are willing to die for it. Ojukwu led us to fight for our freedom. Not like you people who readily became slaves of the Sokoto Caliphate because you had no "Ojukwu" who had the heart to fight. The SS is not a people, it is a geopolitical zone created by Abacha, and it has a large chunk of Igbos/Igboids/Igbo speaking people in it.

Igbos are the only ones of the 3 major tribes who have actually done anything to try and stand on their own. They fought a war to be on their own. They are the only ones who are agitating Today to be on their own. Only God knows that an Hausa man will never have the balls to declare Arewa Republic same as Oduduwa Republic is a joke for most Yorubas.

Igbos have no dignity but they are the only who fought for 3 years to exit the nightmare known as "One Nigeria"? The have no sense of worth but they had enough to fight for their freedom for 3 years?

You are funny.

mrsbingbagbo:
With me any more
I know for sure he is not cheating

I am neat and very attractive
He doesn't even touch me
.can I report him?
The law of diminishing marginal utility has set in, he simply doesn't find you sexually attractive any longer. If he's not already cheating then he's about to start. This is why I encourage men to marry more than one wife, it is not only unconstitutional but also suicidal to expect a man to bleep only one woman.
try to set him up with a very beautiful olosho.

Agrippa's Syndrome

Episode One


The trombone sound was heard reverberating the east tower of the Palate dome of the Seven kingdoms. The sound only avail the coronation of the Iron King III who is to oversee and rule the affairs of the Seven kingdoms after the sudden disappearance of Alonso the Iron King II. Some hearsay said the king was kidnapped by the grey monkeys of the evil mountains while some said the king disintegrated into gamma rays, an ancient myth many have held on to since the inception of the Seven Kingdoms by the Grail Angel. Alympha, the great sorceress pointed her hands suddenly to the servant Agrippa and named him the Iron King III of the seven Kingdoms. Agrippa was separated and taken through the rites of coronation, from the washing by 200 monks at the ascending waters to the burial in the tomb of the grail angel, and finally the boiling in hot olive sap for 7 days. All these rites must be survived before a king is crowned. And more so, they are nothing compared to the privileges the King would enjoy after. Apart from being the ruler of the Seven Kingdoms, He would be married to 7 maidens from the Seven Kingdoms. He will have access to the kings Gold; the gold is used to purchase angelic portions in the celestial market which only the king have access to. He will also be in control of seasons and weaponry in the Kingdom. Agrippa overcame the rites of coronation and he was crowned before the people at the rising of the Blue Sun. Though many questioned why an ordinary servant was chosen by the gods but nobody could speak out loud for the fear of Alympha the Sorceress.
Agrippa began to rule the Seven kingdoms as the Iron King III. He chose his three wise men from the ruling families. Dodones, Paroites and Bana were the names of the three wise men. They are to be in the decision cabinet of the king. Agrippa made friend with Alympha the Sorceress so as to learn from her pool of wisdom and to keenly harness every patterns and instructions from the gods. The seven Kingdoms have a distinct feature which was the factor for the division into Kingdoms. Agrippa sought the wisdom of the gods on how to progress the course of the Kingdoms. And the gods gave him a warning that he should guard the iron ore of the Kingdom and not to explore it until the earth start to produce the yellow lettuce. Agrippa kept this in the core of his heart and told his three wise men to bear witness so as to preserve the warning. The only snare attached to the warning is that the 7 maidens betrothed to the king will never get pregnant until the yellow lettuce starts growing. The snare is to test the obedience and perseverance of Agrippa.
This isn't good writing at all, it's what in literature we call purple prose, your syntax needs improving. Also, why write about Agrippa or whatever you call him? You're Nigerian, write about Nigeria, write about your history, we have a history too.

Ogundejasmine:
Good day nairalanders, I am new on this platform. I want your advice on the issue I want to narrate. I am sorry if it is long. My parents were both divorcees before they got married, although they both had kids from their previous marriages and their ex-spouses are still alive. My step brothers do come to stay with us for sometime and we lived together. In 2012,my step brother came to our house and he gave my mom 3 ripe plantain and washing soaps, he said his mom asked him to give it to her. My mom being trusting fried the plantain that morning and we all ate it, she even thanked the woman. Since then, my mum started having health issues to the extent that she couldn't see again, she was in this condition for 5 years before she passed on last year. We went to different places (hospitals, churches, alfas,herbalist),all they said was that she ate something. Doctors said there was nothing wrong with her health wise. In one of the churches we went to, she was asked to beg for forgiveness from her ex-husband and my dad's first wife, we did that but nothing happened. Before her death, she normally dream of this woman but she didn't know she was the one because she has never seen her before. Few months after my mom's death, I noticed that there is closeness between my dad and his first wife to the extent that his younger brother got to know of it and it almost became fight betweenthem.Now,this woman has started coming to our house, when she came the first time, my daddy's excuse was she wanted to see us and he need to close to her so that our step brothers will be closer to us. The second time she came, she slept in our house and my dad's bed, the excuse they gave was that there was traffic congestion and she couldn't go home that day. When my dad came back the next day, we discussed about it and we told him that we don't want her to come to our house and he said okay. He told us not to tell about all this. The third time she came, she spent a week, she even brought her luggage, we complained to our dad then he said he needs someone to talk to and someone to take care of him, he started telling us stories. Now, this woman is in our house and we don't know when she is leaving. She leaves with my dad in the morning and they come home together at night. My dad don't really care about us again and it is breaking the relationship between us. We are heartbroken, should we tell my dad's family members about what is happening because she told me that this is her house and she will live with us forever, she also said we are making our dad unhappy but she is there to make him happy. I am sorry it is very long



Firstly how old are you and your siblings? I think you have to make your dad understand he has to make a choice between you guys and this woman, I suspect he'll choose her and then you can take your siblings and leave the house. This I think is the best thing you can do. I hope you're old enough. I have no respect for a man that chooses a woman over his children.
