@Post,

It aint going to work. It will continue to be a dream to you. I have studied Nigeria and it's "tribe first and Nigeria later" in our blood and it will continue to flow in our vein. Any person trying to tell you that your dream will come to pass in nigeria is only deceiving himself.

Same the said about Obama.

It is also my dream to see that happen but the truth is that, it aint going to work in Nigeria.

You never can tell whats gonna happen in the next 30 years.

Delta State is a different thing because they believe saying they are from Delta State will easily let you know where they come from. Many Nigerians don't know if Iitsekiris, Urhobos, Igbos or Ijaws is in Delta State and some never heard of Itsekiri, Urhobo before. So, if Itsekiri or Urhobo man says he is from Itsekiri, you may be thinking that may be a community in the North.

Thats a lie. Ijaw is pretty popular for sure.

You can see the reason they prefer to go for Delta State.

They prefer to use Delta because they see themselves as Delta indigenes first before their tribe.

Delta state has itsekiris, Urhobos, Igbos, Ijaws etc in large groups but one thing I've noticed about them is that they tell you they are from Delta and they will only tell you their tribe when you seek further information. Americans do the same. They tell you I'm from Illinois, i'm from Oklahoma but my parents are from India or even Ney York. They represent their city and town before their ethnicity.


An attitude like that will reduce ethnic tension by almost half in Nigeria. I dream of the day when an igbo man born in Sokoto will tell you he is from sokoto without going further to explain his heritage. Like Deltans do, a yoruba man born and raised in umuahia will tell you he is from Abia before explaining his ethnic heritage. A day when every Nigerian shall have an equal opportunity in whatever state they were born irrespective of ethnic or racial origin. A day when a Fulani man will successfully run and become the governor of Osun State without ethnic rancor. I have that dream.

How and when can we achieve that? when shall we adopt the Delta example?. If Deltans can do it, why cant we all?

Hey am not an Aboki Sad
I am a proud COCIN member

Isn't aboki supposed to mean 'friend' again? Why are you denying being one like its leprosy?

Interacting with them? You spent your whole entire time interacting with girls born and raised in the US?! You are really jobless.

You think I'm a social smut like you?

Your dagger puncture moi? In your dreams. . . . keep on dreaming. It surely relieves you of the kongii

watch out for the Nebraska aboki.

Haba Haba Muza, Don't stoop to such deplorable levels

What are you two abokis planning?. Aboki, you again?

This is the problem with your brain, you are so quick to occlude to whatever does not suit your infantile reasoning. How did you come about the statement in bold above?

From interacting with them. How will you know this when all you care for in their midst is their kitten?

You have just said the word ''global'' so I am definitely sure, it is affecting your cow milking business in the US. The only female aboki of Nebraska.

Bloody southerner? my dagger will soon puncture you

the morgue

Human soul is immortal and do not go to the morgue. Ode.

The life and principle of grace taught in this passage (Matthew 5) is not possible for everyone except those who have received Christ and power to live like children of God.Infact its normal that a graceless person should find this command impossible and ridiculous.
Its like telling a hiker in Lagos to meet you @ Abuja in 24 hours.Its impossible for him.Except he employs the use of a machine (a car or airplane),then he can make the journey inside 12hours.Its only by coming boldly ib faith to the throne of grace that we can get/obtain grace and power to keep Christ's commandments.Our personal struggles cannot achieve it.How can one come boldly to obtain power from God if he's not born again (a child of God ).The call from God to you NOW is to leave your hopeless,helpless, shallow hiking and come to JESUS the source of LIFE.He's able to transport you on eagles'wings,make you effective and at the very best.Acts 3 v 16 And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong

@image123,

Will you turn the other cheek based on the fact that you have received this supernatural powers from christ?

Where did you get this speech?. The link please cos its lovely.

more than ever how this guys were right

Gideon Orkar's Memorial Speech, April 1990

Fellow Nigerian citizens,

On behalf of the patriotic and well-meaning peoples of the Middle Belt and the southern parts of this country, I , Major Gideon Orka, wish to happily inform you of the successful ousting of the dictatorial, corrupt, drug baronish, evil man, deceitful, homo-sexually-centered, prodigalistic, un-patriotic administration of General Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida. We have equally commenced their trials for unabated corruption, mismanagement of national economy, the murders of Dele Giwa, Major-General Mamman Vasta, with other officers as there was no attempted coup but mere intentions that were yet to materialize and other human rights violations. The National Guard already in its formative stage is disbanded with immediate effect. Decrees Number 2 and 46 are hereby abrogated. We wish to emphasis that this is not just another coup but a well conceived, planned and executed revolution for the marginalized, oppressed and enslaved peoples of the Middle Belt and the south with a view to freeing ourselves and children yet unborn from eternal slavery and colonization by a clique of this country.

Our history is replete with numerous and uncontrollable instances of callous and insensitive dominatory repressive intrigues by those who think it is their birthright to dominate till eternity the political and economic privileges of this great country to the exclusion of the people of the Middle Belt and the south. They have almost succeeded in subjugating the Middle Belt and making them voiceless and now extending same to the south. It is our unflinching belief that this quest for domination, oppression and marginalisation is against the wish of God and therefore, must be resisted with the vehemence. Anything that has a beginning must have an end. It will also suffice here to state that all Nigerians without skeleton in their cupboards need not to be afraid of this change. However, those with skeleton in their cupboards have all reasons to fear, because the time of reckoning has come. For the avoidance of doubt, we wish to state the three primary reasons why we have decided to oust the satanic Babangida administration. The reasons are as follows:

(a) To stop Babangida’s desire to cunningly, install himself as Nigeria’s life president at all costs and by so doing, retard the progress of this country for life. In order to be able to achieve this undesirable goals of his, he has evidently started destroying those groups and sections he perceived as being able to question his desires. Examples of groups already neutralised, pitched against one another or completely destroyed are:
The Political & Spiritual Purpose of the Holy Land

(1) The Sokoto caliphate by installing an unwanted Sultan to cause division within the hitherto strong Sokoto caliphate.
(2) The destruction of the peoples of Plateau State, especially the Lantang people, as a balancing force in the body politics of this country.
(3) The buying of the press by generous monetary favours and the usage of State Security Service, SSS, as a tool of terror.
(4) The intent to cow the students by the promulgation of the draconian decree Number 47.
(5) The cowing of the university teaching and non-teaching staff by an intended massive purge, using the 150 million dollar loan as the necessitating factor.
(6) Deliberately withholding funds to the armed forces to make them ineffective and also crowning his diabolical scheme through the intended retrenchment of more than half of the members of the armed forces. Other pointers that give credence to his desire to become a life president against the wishes of the people are:
(1) His appointment of himself as a minister of defense, his putting under his direct control the SSS, his deliberate manipulation of the transition programme, his introduction of inconceivable, unrealistic and impossible political options, his recent fraternisation with other African leaders that have installed themselves as life presidents and his dogged determination to create a secret force called the national guard, independent of the armed forces and the police which will be answerable to himself alone, both operationally and administratively. It is our strong view that this kind of dictatorial desire of Babangida is unacceptable to Nigerians of the 1990’s, and, therefore, must be resisted by all. Another major reason for the change is the need to stop intrigues, domination and internal colonisation of the Nigerian state by the so-called chosen few. This, in our view, has been and is still responsible for 90 percent of the problems of Nigerians. This indeed has been the major clog in our wheel of progress. This clique has an unabated penchant for domination and unrivalled fostering of mediocrity and outright detest for accountability, all put together have been our undoing as a nation. This will ever remain our threat if not checked immediately. It is strongly believed that without the intrigues perpetrated by this clique and misrule, Nigeria will have in all ways achieved developmental virtues comparable to those in Korea, Taiwan, Brazil, India, and even Japan. Evidence, therefore, this cancerous dominance has as a factor constituted by a major and unpardonable clog in the wheel of progress of the Nigerian state. (Sic) It is suffice to mention a few distasteful intrigues engineered by this group of Nigerians in recent past. These are:

(1) The shabby and dishonourable treatment meted on the longest serving Nigerian general in the person of General Domkat Bali, who in actual fact had given credibility to the Babangida administration.
(2) The wholesale hijacking of Babangida’s administration by the all powerful clique.
(3) The disgraceful and inexplicable removal of Commodore Ebitu Ukiwe, Professor Tam David-West, Mr. Aret Adams and so on from office.
(4) The now-pervasive and on-going retrenchment of Middle Belt and southerners from public offices and their instant replacement by the favoured class and their stooges.
(5) The deliberate disruption of the educational culture and retarding its place to suit the favoured class to the detriment of other educational minded parts of this country.
(6) The deliberate impoverishment of the peoples from the Middle Belt and the south, making them working ghosts and feeding on the formulae of 0-1-1- or 0-0-0 while the aristocratic class and their stooges are living in absolute affluence on a daily basis without working for it.
(7) Other countless examples of the exploitative, oppressive, dirty games of intrigues of its class, where people and stooges that can best be described by the fact that even though they contribute very little economically to the well being of Nigeria, they have over the years served and presided over the supposedly national wealth derived in the main from the Middle Belt and the southern part of this country, while the people from these parts of the country have been completely deprived from benefiting from the resources given to them by God.
(Cool The third reason for the change is the need to lay a strong egalitarian foundation for the real democratic take off of the Nigerian state or states as they circumstances may dictate. In the light of all the above and in recognition of the negativeness of the aforementioned aristocratic factor, the overall progress of the Nigerian state a temporary decision to excise the following states namely, Sokoto, Borno, Katsina, Kano and Bauchi states from the Federal Republic of Nigeria comes into effect immediately until the following conditions are met.


Nigeria: Baby Dedication

The conditions to be met to necessitate the re-absorption of the aforementioned states are as following:
(a) To install the rightful heir to the Sultanate, Alhaji Maccido, who is the people’s choice.
(b) To send a delegation led by the real and recognised Sultan Alhaji Maccido to the federal government to vouch that the feudalistic and aristocratic quest for domination and operation will be a thing of the past and will never be practised in any part of the Nigeria state. By the same token, all citizens of the five states already mentioned are temporarily suspended from all public and private offices in Middle Belt and southern parts of this country until the mentioned conditions above are met.

They are also required to move back to their various states within one week from today. They will, however, be allowed to return and joint the Federal Republic of Nigeria when the stipulated conditions are met. In the same vein, all citizens of the Middle Belt and the south are required to come back to their various states pending when the so-called all-in-all Nigerians meet the conditions that will ensure a united Nigeria. A word is enough for the wise.

This exercise will not be complete without purging corrupt public officials and recovering their ill-gotten wealth, since the days of the oil boom till date. Even in these hard times, when Nigerians are dying from hunger, trekking many miles to work for lack of transportation, a few other Nigerians with complete impunity are living in unbelievable affluence both inside and outside the country.

We are extremely determined to recover all ill-gotten wealth back to the public treasury for the use of the masses of our people. You are all advised to remain calm as there is no cause for alarm. We are fully in control of the situation as directed by God. All airports, seaports and borders are closed forthwith. The former Armed Forces Ruling Council is now disbanded and replaced with National Ruling Council to be chaired by the head of state with other members being a civilian vice-head of state, service chiefs, inspector general of police, one representative each from NLC, NUJ, NBA, and NANS.

A curfew is hereby imposed from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. until further notice. All members of the armed forces and the police forces are hereby confined to their respective barracks. All unlawful and criminal acts by those attempting to cause chaos will be ruthlessly crushed. Be warned as we are prepared at all costs to defend the new order. All radio stations are hereby advised to hook on permanently to the national network programme until further notice.

Long live all true patriots of this great country of ours. May God and Allah through his bountiful mercies bless us all.

Redhotchic, you and Nuzo are saying the same thing. . . just incase you're trying to ''challenge'' his post.

PASTOR PLC, I think your title is inappropriate and inflammatory.

There is a difference between few assailants unleashing terror and a multitude of ignorant men unleashing the same terror. The Ekiti terrorists did theirs for reasons best known to them and they know it's not right but the jihadists actually think that what they did is right and are ready to do it again over and over again.

Crush on a forty year-old moronic female?? I would rather be a monk!!!

Which one, 35, 39 or 40? why not 49 or 56?


Don't deny the crush you have for me. It's glaring

Forgive my ass. . . . . That girl is a formal patient for psychological analysis.

Did you consider the fact that the girl behaves that way because of the environment she grew up? . Many girls in the US with Nigerian parents tend to behave that way especially if the parents alienated them from Africans while growing up.

I do not even believe your write-up here. Just another of your usual otiose self with nothing to do, thinking of such absurdities.

Believe what you like. mack daddy. How is the global economic crunch affecting your business?

(sigh) not here again. . .
DON'T YOU FIFLE EVA GET TIRED OF FIGHTING?Huh? JEEZ!!!!

Hannibal cannot breathe or eat without me. The crush on me is so much that its choking me.

The pastor lied to you. . . . . .At 36, u still run around like a ninny. A spastic ninny if i may add.
I don't want to belabour the obvious but why do u have ur head buried in ur ass PERMANENTLY??

I thought I was 39?

Jesus said if Mopol slaps you on the right, turn the left and recieve the next one.
If Okereke (the Naval victim) were a christian, she would not have been stripped naked. Prolly just a swollen face from the series of slaps she would have recieved on both cheeks.

U have deteriorated massively in the last 3 months. . . . .Jeez, what happened to you?
Abiodun and reh reh reh. . . . .Must u create senseless topics??
If you are jobless, try SUDOKU for a change.

I feel you. The year is almost gone and you are yet to get your breakthrough. dayum, the pastor lied again.

Maybe you should take the first sentence to heart because it also applies to you.

@kobo

What about the educated Hausa people that support this violence. If you bothered to read that link you would see how this separation of tribes causes us to fight for no reason. Merit is thrown out of the window in support of 'brotherhood'. This mentality lies beyond holding a WAEC certificate. Didn't you meet MCUsman and other educated Nigerians that cannot see beyond their tribe. Many Nigerians generally do not regard someone whose parents do not speak their own language and our government encourages this through silly policies that encourages separation and we have all grown up seeing ourselves as different.

What is the point of federal allocation?Why can't states become self sufficient or at the least merge with other states to improve their local economy. People agitate for state creation because of allocation and nothing more. The election fraud was done because of access to allocation but If these economies were built by the common man, the vampires would attack anyone who stole their money and not their so called non-indigene Nigerians.

States would encourage people to come to their places to build the local economy and would see no reason to alienate anyone. Merit would be the watchword and not tribe because there is no more free lunch!

Yet anutha heap of applesauce!!!

Ori ope

The girl is stupid, Abiodun is daft.

What has a fanciful medical degree got to do with a relationship? Both of them need to go and sit down and re-evaluate themselves. Begging her on behalf of Nigerians who are third class citizens? Foolishness is no respecter of persons at all.

Why is abiodun daft?. the fancy degree came in because some people think she is in love with him because of his worth but if not that, she wouldn't deal with any Nigerian because she consider them to be 2nd class black people even though her parents are one. If abiodun is in love and wants to forgive her for being ignorant, what is wrong in that?

Be it in maiduguri, Aba ngwa or Ikpetu-nle; murder is murder and should be punishable. The only difference is that in Ekiti, it was carried out by unknown beasts, while the ones in the north are carried out by known jihadists that are allowed to walk free only to come back to slash more throats after some months.
One day, monkey go go market, e no go retur

there is a very big difference here. Gunmen unleashed terror on a particular family they knew is totally different from a group rushing to agboju market for example with machetes and start butchering people randomly.

What happened in Ekiti can happen in China, Russia, US etc . The target could be their dad, who had an initial whatever with them but Kayode and co were massacred over something very unrelated to them. You and I know that a 1 hr action from Jihadists can leave 200 dead and no gunman or assassin can achieve that. The smaller the number of insane people in our society, the better.

Meanwhile, RIP to these lovely kids and may their guardians have the fortitude to bear the loss.

A Nigerian girl here who loves to distant herself from Nigerians because she was born here and say lots of nasty things about Nigerians is in love with Abiodun, a Nigerian with a fancy degree.
In her words: "Abiodun is just cool and different". She met Abiodun in church because her parents encouraged her to associate with nigerians and the least she can do is worship with them because she may need them someday especially in marital issues. She hooked up with Abiodun even after Abiodun's friends told them how the girl feels about Nigerians as third class citizens. Abiodun regretted her comments, claims she apologized to him for making them and he feels she should get some 2nd chance. Marriage is set for Feb after only 4 months of courtship and Abiodun's parents are not happy about the sudden arrangement.

Question:
The economy is hard now, this girl will not be making above $45K and her job is on the line but Abiodun is tight with a fancy medical degree. Do you think that a girl that despised Nigerians so much will turn around suddenly to love the very Nigerian with a thick accent she hates so much?


If you are a guy, will you continue with the wedding after hearing her tell tales on Nigerians?

and what "solution" have you come up with beyond roflmao?

What more "education" do you plan to give to students who kill their own teacher for "mishandling" the quran during exams? Maybe we shld advocate they be educated in the moon.

Why not educate them to eschew violence through their own imams?. If the imams get involved, be rest assured that 90% of the almajiris will have a rethink in the face of violence.

What's wrong with the world, mama
People livin' like they ain't got no mamas
I think the whole world addicted to the drama
Only attracted to things that'll bring you trauma

But we still got terrorists here livin'
In the USA, the big CIA
The Bloods and The Crips and the KKK

Not respectin' each other, deny thy brother

Gangaro dialed 1-800-ASS WHOOPING . funny country i tell you.

For me I believe 'Turning the Other Cheek' is a figurative phrase especially in d context of d present world. I believe what this means is that we should try not to ALWAYS pay back evil for evil IF AND ONLY IF u as an individual and the society as whole can handle it. Else why would I watch someone coming after me with a weapon and I do nothing?

Because an eye for an eye will make the whole world go blind.
