Shove aside the words of a disgruntled Oba indeed.

How about an unreserved apology for trying to incite genocide.

He should have apologized. I'm no Yoruba and I don't know IF their culture permits an Oba to do so. Regardless, people have disassociated themselves from him. Even a press release was released claiming the "Lagoon" mention was only an adage. We all know this is false but we shouldn't prolong this issue further.

Ymodulus:
I think I will start by trying to be Anthropomorphic, as it will bet express my heading.
Its really sad when insanity realizes that he has a mental disorder then he is as good as cured. The moment a people come to terms with their complex problem which often place them at loggerheads with their host communities the better for them.

I seem not to fathom how a tribe claim to have suffered humiliations and deprivation from other ethnic nationalities. This allegation should be consider very weighty even though it was not substantiated. Nonetheless, this aggrieved ethnic nationality needs to ask herself what is about it that could be responsible for the purported hostile acts of other ethnic nationalities toward it.

One problem I have with Chimanda is all her articles tends to quote Chinua Achebe, even when its evident chinua actions are wrong. The sane mistake she made, about his book "there was a country". Now she is trying to say that the Igbo's were murdered in early 1960's for political reasons? Who started the war? Was it the Nigerian Arny or The late Ojukwu ? I see Chimabda is biased. And she is just a staunt re-echoer of Chinua Achebe's belief.

I liked the fact that she related the massacre of the Ibos in different parts of the country before the civil war. However what I do like to ask her is this,

1. chimanda was there nothing that led to the massacre?

You can't deny that the tendency to dominate in another man's land which is being exhibited now by taking the Oba to court is what led to such. Tell me when you come back from court if the people of Lagos will still have a good relationship with the Ibos.

Chimanda while trying to play a neutral ground at the surface, is been biased deep down. I am sorry to say but if Chimanda spent her time writing this, she wasted that time. As this just further lowered NY respect for her as an internationally recognised writer. Novel is her thing not politics.

Just imagine how shez is spreading lies about 1960s massacre. Posterity Judge you.

I religiously followed Chinua Achebe. I saw him as the broken link between the Igbos and other ethnic tribes. I revered him and his works not until he wrote "There was a country". The so-called autobiography was uncalled for as it described what Achebe had nursed over the years. I saw him as someone who cared less about critics and only wanted to write to finally lay claims that he had not forgotten the struggle of his people. I could remember Wole Soyinka said the book was uncalled for as well and it was 'shocking' his good friend could round off his hard work with a disturbing autobiography.

As if that was not enough, Ngozi Chimamanda Adichie wrote "Half of a Yellow Sun" and the movie adaptation clearly revealed that a young lady who was obviously not born during the war managed to write a 'detailed' epistle of the war. I could remember I submitted a review saying "This movie and the book should not have existed". Being a sensitive fellow, I cried at some point in the movie and I thought "how would an Igbo man react to the movie?"

I've never been a fan of Ngozi Chimamanda Adichie and I was obviously not disappointed at the bigot adaptation, rather I blame Chinua Achebe for this. But like Chimamanda started with in this article, we're all born with prejudices. True, we might be born with them but we should be able to live above it. If people around Chimamanda cannot make her forget or shove aside the words of a disgruntled Oba, then she should take to the streets with whoever to protest. We're way past this issue. NCA is relevant and is already a giant in the literature sphere but thinking this piece would make her more relevant is saying black when an object is obviously white.

I strongly this issue has been overflogged. The Oba and Jimi Agbaje are related. Oba Akiolu claimed to have acted on behalf of Ambode but has further helped the campaign of Jimi. Both the Yorubas and Igbos are only causing more harm here. The APC has disassociated itself from the Oba and so has Ambode. People should be allowed to vote whomever they see fit to rule over them. The Eze Ndigbo in Lagos is wise enough to understand that the Igbos should foster unity and overlook the clown of the Oba.

If e-warriors, particularly Igbo TANoids are still inciting violence with this urge, then I'd say they've not gotten over the defeat of GEJ. It's high time we put childish acts behind us. Today, tomorrow or the next, we'll leave this world and what would be left of the Yorubaland/Biafra struggle? It's high time we had a rethink.

They are good at changing scriptures to suit their believe and quick at pointing out verses they erroneously believe to have supported their claim, while we believers see no business to do with their koran. From your story, ive seen that debating with them won't help out.

Trust me, it will be a bliss. They're always ready to debate and could sense if Christian claims to know more than they know. The most important thing is that one asks for the help of the Holy Spirit and the wisdom to answer some tricky questions aright.

Christianity Etc › Re: Winning A Muslim To Christ. by Sanchez01(m): 7:40am On Apr 08, 2015

Yeah, I have and that moment was like none other. It was on a Sunday morning and we ( a section of the choir) had gone out for follow-up. This is a traditional everyone is used to in my church.

That morning, we went out to visit a 'guy' and we found one of his friends with him that morning. While we persuaded him to make it to service that morning, the friend's attitude was quite worrisome as he wanted to make sure his friend stays at home with him. Wheb I noticed this, I turned to face him and asked him if he would love to join his friend to experiencing what a family church looks llike. He turned it down quickly without any excuse. It was at this point that I became interested in him, not knowing he was a Muslim.

Within minutes, we started off discussing and he told me he is a Muslim and his father is a very popular Alhaji on the street. He claimed he had 'disgraced' several Christians who tend to prove to him why Christianity is 'better' by asking them certain questions. He said he would ask me same and he would make up his mind almost immediately.

His first question was;

1. Who gave birth to God?: It was indeed a funny one and I calmly told him God is the Father, Creator and Friend of all. He had long existed before the Creation. The Bible first pointed to Him during Creation. To make him confirm this, I gave him one of my phones with a Bible software and I asked him to open to certain places on the electronic Bible while other members of my team watched us.

2. Who is Jesus to God?: Was his second question question and my resppnse was quick. I told him He is the No 2 in the Trinity. I also told him he also known as The Son, not because he is indeed given birth to but because The Father made Him so. So I showed instances of where Jesus described Himself as "The Son" and places where God called Him Son as well. I was also quick to point out that "The Holy Spirit" is the third.

Why I responded in this manner is simple; most believers of Islam have a cause-and-effect pattern of asking the question above and if one is not wise enough, you could find yourself in a corner. If I had just said "He is the Son of God" his next question would be "who is the mother" and it would have sounded unconvincing to explain that at a later time.

3. He looked mystified at my response and asked what the functions of the three are: I knew the discussion was causing a stir in him already and I asked him if he studied Government in Secondary school to which he replied "yes". In other to simplify the discusiion, I told him the three are like our arms of Govt; The Executive, The Legislative and The Judiciary.

The Legislature (God), elected (or chosen) by the people, and is responsible for forming new laws (give commandments in our case).

The Executive (The Holy Spirit), the government itself, responsible for the day to day running of activities. My citation here was Gen 1:1-10. God forms the law, the Holy Spirit acts them out

The Judiciary (Christ), the courts, responsible for carrying out justice and punitive actions.
I was able to take him to I John 2:1 to make him see that Christ is our advocate; one who works tirelessly for our defense.

He kept mute for a while and I gave him time because I knew the "Executive" was taking charge of the conviction. After about 3 minutes, he said he would worship with us! But that he would only hide since he is still a bit younger and is living with his father. I saw him afterwards in church and the Pastor's message that Sunday sealed everything in him. He told me he always believed in Jesus but could not tell if we worship Jesus or God. I helped him grow for about two months and he later went to live with his mum somewhere far away. According to him, he could not bear to live in the same house with his father because he has many wives and does not bother to about the children's well being.

He left afterwards to live with his mum whom he claimed was a Christian turned Muslim by the father.

Politics › Re: Buhari Visits Owerri As Okorocha Champions The Affairs Of Ndi Igbo by Sanchez01(m): 11:37am On Apr 07, 2015

EUROBOMBER:
The recent happenings in Lagos have created so much tension between the Igbo and the Yoruba. There is so much bitterness and hate talk flying around and this will not do us any good.

When you try to break a wall using a sledge hammer, you need to apply several blows before it gives in. You might need to apply a 100 blows but one thing to note is that it is not the 100th blow that breaks the wall, it is a combination of effects from the very first blow. This brings me to the recent statement credited to the Oba of Lagos to the Igbos. I condemn the statement and I believe every right-thinking person should do the same in the interest of peace and civility. What I want to tell my Igbo people is that the Oba's outburst is not just as a result of the forth-coming gubernatorial election in Lagos but a combination of factors. I hear some of our people calling Lagos a no-man's-land and this is just too bad; this is the height of arrogance and disrespect. How can we move into a Yoruba land, enjoying God's blessings and prosperity only to turn round and tell the people that their land belongs to nobody, that we feed them, and that they cannot survive without us and all the other rubbish and provocative stuff??

Clearly the Oba has been harbouring this anger as a result of the arrogance and provocation of our Igbo people and just could not contain it this time and lashed out.

My Igbo brothers, can we sit down and ask ourselves why we have been so aggressive towards the Yorubas? What have they done wrong to us to deserve this provocation and arrogance? The Yorubas are a very peaceful people and we turn round to call them cowards and all sorts of names. What do we want the Yorubas to do to prove to us that they are not cowards, rise up and go on a killing spree? These Yorubas even returned all our properties to us after the civil war something even our close neighbours in the SS didn’t do!

What does it take to respect your host and do as they wish my people for Christ’s sake? We are prosperous in Yoruba land and are enjoying the land and have no problem with the people, all they are for is for us to know our limits and give them their respect is this too much to ask from us? Let me ask my people one honest question, why are we not shouting that Kano is a no-man’s land The Yorubas have been very nice and taking all these insults from us and we turn around to point our fingers in their noses and call them cowards! Jesus! We claim to be Christians and worship God, is it not written in the bible that blessed are the peace makes for they shall be called the children of God?

My Igbo people please see a sample of what is making the Yorubas very angry with us:

1. I WILL ELEVATE EZE NDIGBO TO THE STATUS OF OBA OF LAGOS - JIMI AGBAJE.

2. IGBO WILL DETERMINE WHO RULES LAGOS- IFEANYI UBAH

3. LAGOS IS NO MAN'S LAND.- IFEANYI UBAH DURING TAN CAMPAIGN.

4. IGBO DEVELOPED AND CONTROL LAGOS- JIMI AGBAJE DURING GEJ CAMPAIGN IN AKWA IBOM

5. WE MUST PRODUCE THE NEXT DEPUTY GOVERNOR OF LAGOS- EZE NDIGBO

MY QUESTIONS TO IGBOS,

1. CAN OBI OF ONITHSA ACCEPT ALL THE ABOVE MENTIONED?

2. CAN EMIR OF KANO ACCEPT ....?

3. DO YOU HAVE ANY SINGLE TRIBE IN YOUR CABINET IN THE EAST?

4. CAN ANY TRIBE CLAIM ONITHSA OR ABA TO BE NO MAN,S LAND?

5. CAN OBI OF ONITHSA ACCEPT THE ELEVATION OF SARKIN HAUSA IN ONITHSA TO OBI STATUS?

I want to use this medium to appeal to well-meaning Yorubas to forgive the childishness and foolishness of our people. Please drop any plans of violence being planned against our people and all other diplomatic ways of punishing our people in your land including Lagos.

We recognise that LAGOS IS A YORUBA LAND and will respect that. Please I appeal for calm and understanding. I am inviting some Yorubas I respect on this forum to help reach out to your people to be calm, I have personally decided to start a campaign to reorientate our people as God helps me in my own way to change the way we think.

Even God told Moses that if he could find just 10 righteous people he will not destroy Sodom & Gomorrah. Igbos like me are far more than 10 in Lagos and other areas of SW. Please do not bring out the beast in you and and please allow better judgement prevail over emotions.

I made up my mind not to involve myself with the recent hates being spread along tribal lines. I have read posts silently and have come to conclude that we (users of this forum) are more hateful and intolerant towards each other. Hostility has eaten deep into our system and it's not helping issues. Oba Akiolu is only being stu.pid for his harsh talks and has further fuelled a heated polity.

God bless you for this great post. True, we are all one but it still does not say that boundaries should be missing.

Sanchez, except you don't want to be realistic, there are characteristics you'll love and you would flinch each and every time you come across it. Though I agree with you that love is not solely dependent on the outlook, men are moved by what they see. Lest we forget, slim ladies get out of shape as well.

You're right. We could flinch at a lady so far she has the 'outer' qualities we crave but should it be the basis of choosing them as partners? Like I mentioned earlier, physical qualities are only a PLUS and should not be prioritize lest we stay sorry almost all our lives. You and I both know marriage spans above the physical beauty because it is fleeting and could hardly stand the test of time. Character, on the other would last a lifestyle. People say love is blind but this is true. The choice to stay blind depends on those in it. This best explains why we have people walk out of their love life simply because a one-time compatibility love story is not what it seems. Beauty is love agentive but should not and never be future agentive.

I'm sorry for responding very late, I was hardly online yesterday sad

Dearie, you're very right. Speaking in other tongues is just as one of the other gifts. Unfortunately, most Christians have come to believe that it is a must for one to exhibit this gift as a sign of being baptized in the Holy Ghost. Of course, their yard stick is Acts 2:2-4.

Surprisingly, the best gift to covet is the gift of prophecy! I Cor 14:1 says 'Follow the way of love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the GIFTS OF PROPHECY.'

With this in mind, Apostle Paul listed the 9 Gifts in I Cor 12:7-10. There was no mention that one is greater than the other but the yardstick of Acts has piled pressure on believers to 'learn' the act of speaking in tongues.

That one does not speak in tongues does not mean one does not possess other gifts. And if people still go on with the excuse that this exact gift is the mark of the baptism of the Holy Spirit then they're wrong. The true mark of the Holy Spirit are described in Gal 5:22-23 'But the FRUIT of the Spirit is LOVE, JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE, KINDNESS, GOODNESS, FAITHFULNESS, GENTLENESS and SELF CONTROL.' As a Christian (Tree), one is not yet baptized in the Holy Ghost if these FRUITS are missing.

Onegai:
Quick question:

In 2011, the entire SW and North Central (Taraba and Plateau and co) overwhelmingly voted for GEJ. In 2015, the same regions gave their votes to Buhari.

So why are you people now calling them tribalistic?

And yeah, us SS people don't align ourselves with Igbo politics. Some of it is tribal but a lot of the animosity stems from the fact you guys are constantly claiming us "our brothers and our cousins" and there is a lot of dominancy to that claim. It makes us uncomfortable (an example of that is when Igbos meet me and expect me to speak Igbo, when I tell them I'm not, they brush it aside and tell me "you are as good as Igbo" as if my identity and culture don't matter. I don't care how similar you think we are, please respect that difference. I don't call everything above the Niger Hausa-Fulani, why should you call SS your kinsman without them welcoming it? ) An Urhobo man won a seat in Lagos, yet all I'm hearing is "Igbos are growing their clout in Lagos", because apparently his tribal identity is now Igbo (btw I'm from his constituency, he was winning Yoruba votes and not Igbo).

My mum queued up for hours to vote GEJ. If it had been an Igbo candidate, she would have realised her back would hurt from all that standing, there would probably be violence at the poll and used quite a lot of excuses to stay at home. Same thing with my relatives and a lot of SS voters.

You constantly lament about being victims of tribalism yet are tribalistic. GEJ got his largest number of votes from SS states and everyone there feels Igbos let him down by not turning out massively to support him. Because they (and i) kept hearing from so many Igbos "GEJ is our man" and no other reason backed it up save misplaced tribal sentiment. No Igbo state could give him up to 800, 000 votes yet here you all are, still arguing and beating your chests.

You've proved you cannot be relied on by any political party attempting to court you (even the SW you're insulting gave him more votes and if I'm a politician now, I will certainly brush up on my Hausa because those guys are loyal )

I'm not starting a war, just being truthful.

Honestly, you spoke my mind beyond my expectation.

DollyParton1:
Well, it would have been a different ball game if the VP was an igbo.

Now the combination of an Hausa and a Yoruba does not appeal to an average igbo person.

You're still being tribalistic here. Your last sentence gives you away easily and it's quite disturbing one could reason that way. To me this was never about Igbo, Yoruba or Hausa. Of the three major, the Igbos (Ohaneze) and the Yorubas (Afenifere) endorsed a candidate while the Hausas (Arewa) kept mute.

We all knew the Yorubas endorsed GEJ because of the so-called promise of implementing the National confab which, according to the Yorubas would benefit them. Honestly, I cannot say the same for the Igbos as to why they endorsed Jonathan. One thing has been visible, GEJ understands that we are divided and is adoption of the name 'Azikiwe' during election period explains this.

Finally, know that the highest level of intelligence electorates can exhibit is when they choose their candidates, not on ethno-religious grounds but on values and what the candidates intend to bring to the table.

The SE save Imo state exhibited sentiments, the SS save Edo state exhibited sentiments and so did the core North. The SW was fairly stiff for both GMB and GEJ and this speaks volume. The consciousness of being Yoruba, Igbo or Hausa is still very harmful to our Democracy.
