No Biafra if yorubas don't say YES!! If it would be done constitutionally u need yoruba votes, if it would be done by force u need yorubas support!! Yorubas must support u b4 u Win in anything in Nigeria. If there'll be an Igbo president tomorrow, its the Yorubas that would make that happen!! Yorubas may seem like cowards but they are very wise, diplomatic and tactical people, that is why govt would always favour them. That's the truth....take it or leave it!!

The Yoruba elite were the first, Practically every crisis in Nigeria since independence has its roots from Yorubas ----Sanusi Lamido Sanusi
The Yoruba elite were the first, in 1962, to attempt a violent overthrow of an elected government in this country---Sanusi Lamido Sanusi
When Buhari jailed UPN governors like Ige and Onabanjo, the South-Western press castigated that good government and provided the right mood for IBB to take over power. As soon as IBB cleared UPN governors of charges against them in a politically motivated retrial, he became the darling of the South-West. When IBB annulled the primaries in which Adamu Ciroma and Shehu Yar Adua emerged as presidential candidates in the NRC and SDP, he was hailed by the South-West. When the same man annulled the June 12, 1993 elections in which Abiola was the front-runner, the South-West now became defenders of democracy.
When it seemed Sani Abacha was sympathetic to Abiola, the South-West supported his take-over. He was in fact invited by a prominent NADECO member to take over in a published letter shortly before the event. Even though Abiola had won the elections in the North, the North was blamed for its annulment. When Abdulsalam Abubakar started his transition, the Yoruba political leadership through NADECO presented a memorandum on a Government of National Unity that showed complete disrespect for the intelligence and liberties of other Nigerians.
Subsequently, they formed a tribal party which failed to meet minimum requirements for registration, but was registered all the same to avoid the violence that was bound to follow non-registration, given the area-boy mentality of South-West politicians. Having rejected an Obasanjo candidacy and challenged the election as a fraud in court, we now find a leading member of the AD in the government, a daughter of an Afenifere leader as Minister of State, and Awolowo´s daughter as Ambassador, all appointed by a man who won the election through fraud.
Meanwhile, nothing has been negotiated for the children of Abiola, the focus of Yoruba political activity. In return for these favours, the AD solidly voted for Evan Enwerem as Senate President. This is a man who participated in the two-million- man March for Abacha´s self-succession. He also is reputed to have hosted a meeting of governors during IBB´s transition, demanding that June 12 elections should never be de-annulled and threatening that the East would go to war if this was done. When Ibrahim Salisu Buhari was accused of swearing to a false affidavit, the Yoruba political elite correctly took up the gauntlet for his resignation.
When an AD governor, Bola Tinubu, swears to a false affidavit that he attended an Ivy League University which he did not attend, we hear excuses.
For so many years, the Yoruba have inundated this country with stories of being marginalised and of a civil service dominated by northerners through quota system. The Federal Character Commission has recently released a report which shows that the South-West accounts for 27.8% of civil servants in the range GL08 to GL14 and a full 29.5% of GL 15 and above. One zone out of six zones controls a full 30% of the civil service leaving the other five zones to share the remaining 70%. We find the same story in the economy, in academia, in parastatals.
Yet in spite of being so dominant, the Yoruba complained and complained of marginalization. Of recent, in recognition of the trauma which hit the South-West after June 12, the rest of the country forced everyone out of the race to ensure that a South-Westerner emerged, often against the best advice of political activists.
Instead of leading a path of reconciliation and strong appreciation, the Yoruba have embarked on short-sighted triumphalism, threatening other "nationalities" that they ( who after all lost the election) will protect Obasanjo ( who was forced on them). No less a person than Bola Ige has made such utterances.
To further show that they were in charge, they led a cult into the Hausa area of Sagamu, murdered a Hausa woman and nothing happened. In the violence that followed, they killed several Hausa residents, with Yoruba leaders like Segun Osoba, reminding Nigerians of the need to respect the culture of their host communities. This would have continued were it not for the people of Kano who showed that they could also create their own Oro who would only be appeased through the shedding of innocent Yoruba blood.
I say all this, to support Balarabe Musa´s statement, that the greatest problem to nation-building in Nigeria are the Yoruba Bourgeoisie. I say this also to underscore my point that until they change this attitude, no conference can solve the problems of Nigeria. We cannot move forward if the leadership of one of the largest ethnic groups continues to operate, not like statesmen, but like common area boys.
iii.The Igbo Factor and the Reasonable Limits of Retribution.
The Igbo people of Nigeria have made a mark in the history of this nation. They led the first successful military coup which eliminated the Military and Political leaders of other regions while letting off Igbo leaders. Nwafor Orizu, then Senate President, in consultation with President Azikiwe, subverted the constitution and handed over power to Aguiyi-Ironsi. Subsequent developments, including attempts at humiliating other peoples, led to the counter-coup and later the civil war. The Igbos themselves must acknowledge that they have a large part of the blame for shattering the unity of this country.
Having said that, this nation must realise that Igbos have more than paid for their foolishness. They have been defeated in war, rendered paupers by monetary policy fiat, their properties declared abandoned and confiscated, kept out of strategic public sector appointments and deprived of public services. The rest of the country forced them to remain in Nigeria and has continued to deny them equity.
The Northern Bourgeoisie and the Yoruba Bourgeoisie have conspired to keep the Igbo out of the scheme of things. In the recent transition when the Igbo solidly supported the PDP in the hope of an Ekwueme presidency, the North and South-West treated this as a Biafra agenda. Every rule set for the primaries, every gentleman´s agreement was set aside to ensure that Obasanjo, not Ekwueme emerged as the candidate. Things went as far as getting the Federal Government to hurriedly gazette a pardon. Now, with this government, the marginalistion of the Igbo is more complete than ever before. The Igbos have taken all these quietly because, they reason, they brought it upon themselves. But the nation is sitting on a time-bomb.
After the First World War, the victors treated Germany with the same contempt Nigeria is treating Igbos. Two decades later, there was a Second World War, far costlier than the first. Germany was again defeated, but this time, they won a more honourable peace. Our present political leaders have no sense of History. There is a new Igbo man, who was not born in 1966 and neither knows nor cares about Nzeogwu and Ojukwu. There are Igbo men on the street who were never Biafrans. They were born Nigerians, are Nigerians, but suffer because of actions of earlier generations. They will soon decide that it is better to fight their own war, and may be find an honourable peace, than to remain in this contemptible state in perpetuity.
The Northern Bourgeoisie and the Yoruba Bourgeoisie have exacted their pound of flesh from the Igbos. For one Sardauna, one Tafawa Balewa, one Akintola and one Okotie-Eboh, hundreds of thousands have died and suffered.
If this issue is not addressed immediately, no conference will solve Nigeria´s problems. By Sanusi Lamido Sanusi.

Governor of Lagos State, Babatunde Ragi Fashola has frowned against the idea of road closure for top public officers in town, just as he posited that such behaviour must be eradicated quickly from the country's national life. Addressing news men at the presidential Lounge of the Murtala Muhammed Airport (MMA), Lagos, Fashola referred to the act as uncaring and insensitive, adding that the people through those roads. According to him; "the people on whose behalf we exercise office go through those roads and I think it is extremely insensitive to shut down the road because one public officer is in town, these are the kind of behavior that I think we must get rid of very quickly from our national life. You know some of the few things that I see just locked down the road because one big official is coming to town. It is absolutely uncaring and insensitive".
Fashola urged all levels of governance to shed there egos and put on the egos of the citizens by putting there interest first, share their pains and their discomfort. "I think this is the time really that at all levels of governance we must shed our egos, we must put the egos of the citizens, the people we serve at the four front of all of the consideration and you know if we do this if we humble ourselves before the people we will all be better for it", he posited. He said one could not re-emphasized the need for collaboration in different levels of government with different responsibilities set out in the constitution in places where clearly common sense and the necessity and interest of the people dictates that all arms of government must work together. His words; "It is very clear to anybody who understands the workings of government that no arm of government can function entirely on its own and even within the same arm the ministries, departments are all inter-dependent and inter-related in one another so it is a continuous exchange of relationships, compromise far sightedness, focus on what the real picture is and what the citizens expect of us.
The Lagos boss who paid an unscheduled visit to the Murtala Muhammed Airport road along the Agege/Oshodi link road from the airport has put an end to traffic congestion caused by motorists that park vehicles along the road. Fashola in company of senior Nigeria Army and Police officers explained that it was wrong for anybody to take laws into his hands by parking their cars to cause obstruction on the road. He warned car dealers who according to him have also worsened the traffic by converting the already narrow road to an exhibition ground for the sale of their vehicles to vacate the place with immediate effect. The governor in an interview with newsmen at the airport urged the military personnel to do all they could to ensure that traffic along the Airport Road is maintained to avoid congestion. He therefore urged the dealers to remove the cars obstructing traffic along the road within 24 hours, saying that failure to do so will force the state government to enforce full weight of the law, as the state task force will tow the cars away, adding that the general security of the state will improve for the benefit of Lagosians.

Christianity EtcRe: Is Sexual Desire A Sin? by poke(m): 12:51pm On Nov 03, 2014
[quote author=ihedinobi2 post=27686141]It's not a sin.
But because Jesus said that if a man looks on a woman with lust in his heart he has committed adultery people tend to assume that sexüal arousal at the sight of a member of the opposite sex is sin. This is wrong.
Jesus never meant that involuntary sexüal interest or mere sexüal desire is sin. Sin, by definition, necessarily is an act of choice. So what Jesus was speaking of was the intent to have sëx with a woman given opportunity. He was addressing the hypocrisy that was rife among the religious elite of his day who thought that intent did not matter, all that mattered to them was what people saw.
Jesus was saying that if a man nursed intent to have sêx with a woman to whom he is not married but lacks opportunity to do it and get away with it, he is as guilty before God as one who actually commits adultery and got caught.
Jesus was simply reiterating what God told Samuel in the early days of monarchy in Israel. He said to him that He looks upon the heart not just upon what people could see and He judges by intents and desires not just by actions.
So mere involuntary desire is not sin in itself. Whether the desire has an object, that is, for example, some shapely girl you saw gave you a hàrd-on or some smoking hot guy made you go weak at the knees, or it does not, that is, for example, you just start feeling hörny with no human trigger around, makes no difference. It is a mindless experience. What matters is what thoughts and intentions you maintain. Do you decide that if you got the opportunity to do the do and get away with it you would take it? Or do you effectively kill the very thought of sleeping wïth someone you're not married to? That's where all the difference lies[color=#006600][/color].
