PoliticsRe: We Will Kill All Muslims In Niger Delta-militant Group Warns by saintneo(m): 9:54am On Dec 11, 2011
Pukkah:
Does this mean that they will kill any Southern Muslims they see and spare Northern Christians? There are Muslims in the South (SW,SS especially) and there are Christians of Northern origin. Is this their strategy not tactically wrong? Is the problem about religion or tribe? Can Nigeria be successfully divided along religious lines?

It is now no longer debatable that Nigeria is very sick and should be treated. A National Conference of all ethnic nationalities must be convened in order to address these fundamental issues and if attempts to mend Nigeria fails, the peoples should be allowed to drift apart peacefully within agreed timelines.

Obviously, the National Assembly which the anti-Conference people usually use as an excuse has failed woefully and is not capable of addressing the problem. Is this how we would continue to watch as the problems get worse and fester?

Violence, killings, reprisal attacks are not good for anybody and will only increase the death toll of the innocent and the vulnerable. War is not the same thing as thumping one's chest on the internet and saying to others that you'll kill them off in one week. In reality, is it that easy?

The best form of victory is the one that is achieved without bloodshed.

Nigerians must talk NOW!
The best form of victory is the one that is achieved without bloodshed. ~ Pukkah Absolute intelligence.

But on Nigeria must talk. Who and who are really ready to talk and abide by the agreements of the talk.

Are we going to invite the two-faced leaders already that we have to do the talking? These greed leaders have tendency of putting their selfish interest first before the people. If this talk will occur what will be discussed is it peaceful co-existence (I don't see it coming)? With reference to the recent ACF congress in Kaduna, where most of the key players were not present, the people present do not represent the opinion of the entire people of the north especially the middle belt.

Or is it separation (I don't think it will be easy without some gunshots fired)? We already know how difficult it is to fight a war, the people of the East know more about this; I doubt if any man from the East is interested in fighting a war so as to be independent.

One thing is definite, this union is coming to an end soon. The more violence we have, the more it continues.

Dominance is in human nature, growth is in human nature, why should the Igbo man be criticised for working towards making himself better.

Does working hard turn out to be greed?


I think the only place I might be negative is in going to a persons house to dominate him/her.  However, with the entity called Nigeria giving every man or woman of the country equal right to exist anywhere and make a living, then the Igbo man has the right to seek growth(in the tribal sense domination).

PoliticsRe: A Suitable Statue For Ojukwu In Enugu (picture Sample) 300 Meters High. by saintneo(m): 3:56am On Dec 03, 2011
This picture would make a great statue [s](if international experts are contracted to mold and raise it )[/s] in Enugu. We do not need foreign design, we can do it ourselves. We are able and capable.

[s]The SE governors can co-fund it, or Enugu state government[/s] can also do it in such a way that it would be a HUGE tourist attraction in Enugu. To have the desired tourist and landscape effect, the statue should rise up to 300 meters. This goes beyond the government, it is for the entire people who believed in the defense of defenseless people of then Eastern Nigeria origin being wiped out in the north.

It can be designed to stand on top of Udi Hills, or a center with tourist infrastructure like restaurants, casino, shopping center etc. City Centre should be ideal, relocate the OTIGBA statue and replace it with the FREEDOM statue.

It can also take a different feel such as hosting a civil war library and memorial wall with the names of Easterners who died in the war. Excellent

I chose Enugu because it was the capital of Eastern region/Biafra. If Gov Chime wastes any time, then Gov Rochas should swing to action and take it to Owerri (another capital of Biafra). Okay.

These governors must not let us down.

This is an opportunity to make us proud!
PoliticsRe: On Ojukwu I say he should get State Burial By Musiwa by saintneo(m): 3:45am On Dec 03, 2011
bayooooooo:
Ojukwu does not deserve a state burial and no country in the world would give such an honour to the likes of Ojukwu who waged an unnecessary, egoistic and doomed to fail fratricidal war against it.

Just read this quote from Rtd Gen Domkat Bali (The Nation Newspaper)
[People described Ojukwu as a rebel, who was at the same time interested in the unity of the country?

Ojukwu was a rebel, no doubt. He was interested in breaking the country. How can you say such a person who moved to break the nation was interested in the unity of the country? The man fought to be independent of Nigeria; he never fought for the unity of the country. He came with the ambition to rule his own nation other than that of Nigeria.
Is this the only information you have? Kindly dig for more.

Do the Nigerian mob look like NGOs to you?
What profit is there to be made from shooting stars?
Do you know what the turnover of Newcastle united is in a season?
it share of the sky tv revenue?
shirt sponsorship?
naming rights to St. James Stadium?

you want to compare Newcastle united as a money making entity and shooting stars. is that a joke?
guy, stop that rough play o!
What made Mike Ashely search for investment? Isn't it debt? Where were all the revenue generated? Why was there lots of player turnover in Newcastle? Let's look at the owners of Manchester United and Liverpool; why are they so hungry to search for investments outside the shores of UK? A few months ago, MANU went to Malayasia/Indonesia(not sure which country but I am sure it is one of them) in search of investment. Liverpool owners are highly indebted to banks that they decided to go look for a co-investor from the Middle East.
mbulela, I am into business and I am high wired in the profession. 3SC and other Nigerian clubs are a good investment on a long term as far as we improve on our democracy. We need to believe in ourselves.
SportsRe: Shooting Stars Disbanded By Oyo Govt Over Mounting Financial Bills by saintneo(op): 10:11am On Nov 30, 2011
I am not in support of governments running football clubs, its pure business. What annoys me is that a faceless Nigerian group of entrepreneurs represented by NVA was ready to dole out £350m (€410m or NGN88b) to Mike Ashley for the sale of Newcastle United.

Everyday our politicians are abroad searching for investments; yet there are lots Nigerians capable of moving this country to greater heights if only they can invest in our own people.
SportsShooting Stars Disbanded By Government Due To Mounting Financial Bills by saintneo(op): 6:03am On Nov 30, 2011
I think this should be political and sports as well.

Nigeria club Shooting Stars disbanded by government due to mounting financial bills
The Ibadan club has been scrapped and its players and officials sent packing after a woeful season that saw them barely escape relegation

Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC), one of Nigeria’s most prestigious club sides, has been disbanded by its owners, the Oyo State government.
All officials and players have also been sacked after the team finished 15th on the log at the close of the 2010-2011 season in the Nigeria Premier League.

A report on KickOffNigeria.com stated that the side is in debt to the tune of 160million Naira (€744,954). This money includes player sign-on fees, salaries, clearance fees to clubs, and unpaid hotel bills.

3SC, who are five-time Nigeria league champions won the old Caf Cup in 1992, the African Cup Winners’ Cup in 1976 and have been twice runners-up in the Champions League in its old format.
I am really saddened by this news. When Newcastle was in debt, some Nigerian mob were available for rescue. Yet we find it very difficult to rescue our own. Take a look at the debt 160million Naira (€744,954), this by far less than what a club in the EPL will pay to sign a single player.

Weighed down by debt, and reeling from the latest downgrading of their country's credit status, Portugal's finance ministry has secured the co-operation of football's highest-paid player in an audacious bid to draw the nation back from the brink of economic collapse.

PoliticsRe: Did Anambra State Ever Sack Abians In The Past? Anyone With Info, Please Say by saintneo(m): 7:37pm On Nov 25, 2011
[size=28pt]Excuse me![/size]

This issue of home state workers and sacking of non-home state workers has become very stuuuupiiid, i most say.

During state creation Anambra/Enugu in the 90s, I recall that people from Enugu in the new Anambra civil service relocated to Enugu while the Anambra people relocated to Awka. I recall my dad was in the civil service in Awka prior to the state creation; he was relocated to Enugu while we(my mum, me and my siblings) remained back in Onitsha. When the separation was to difficult to maintain, we had to move to our villa in Enugu state (30 mins drive from Enugu metropolis) so that my dad could focus on his work and family at the same time. My mum had to apply for transfer as well so as to continue her teaching profession in Enugu state.

Everyday, our politicians come up with the idea of removing state of origin from our constitution. Yet even in Enugu, teachers(Enugu State natives) with lots of experience where asked to move to their LGA of origin. [s]To remain in the state capital you will not become a Head Master or Head Mistress since it is not your LGA of origin.[/s] I think this was later changed. Furthermore, wives of non-indigenous Federal civil service workers (aka Federal-wives or Federal-husbands) were also having issues with their employment with state civil service.

Where am I heading to with this argument?

I was born in Anambra, in fact I was born very close to Omambara River(Anambra River); I consider myself an Anambra man more than Enugu man. Even though I am not into civil service, I think it is high time we did away with this discrimination attitude under the guise of state of origin. We should be looking forward to a more united front, so as to encourage private businesses and development in our states.
