princekevo:
Thank you very much you jst took the word out my mouth.
i should have told him that with all the[b] info over the internet i still have educated fellows tell me everyday how Nigeria is the most corrupt Nation on earth. Does it mean these guys cant do the search or google it out before making such conclusion?[/b]

Ifygurl:
Did you really ask that question?  You know you could have just researched it before asking. 
Anyway, No it's not.  Nigeria used to be the most during Abacha reign.  Now it's not.  Somalia is. 
Nigeria is 121 out of the 180 nations surveyed.  Nigeria, Vietnam, Togo, Nepal and Sao Tome are in the same line of corruption.  It's still high though

Just research it the next time.
I don't even think some of you people research stuff before talking.
That video was when Nigeria was the most corrupted (which was around 1991-1998)

Beaf:
Yes my dear. Real gunpoint.

. . .Such abberations can pile up to test loyalty. It shows how little the nation values each citizen. It is yet another example of why we need a National Conference; there is delineation of responsibilities of citizen to the state or the state to the citizen. "Nigerianness" has no definition, anything goes; citizens being at gunpoint every other day is normal.

Disfunctional.

Crude Oil:
I am not loyal to any.

Beaf:
One interesting titbit. . .
The only place in the World where I have ever been at gunpoint (over and over), is Nigeria. Why?

The Police is your friend

[size=20pt]Ojukwu betray me - Okorie[/size]

Sunday, 13 September 2009 00:00
Basking in the euphoria of his recent restoration as the National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) by the Independent National Electoral Commission, (INEC) after a five-year legal tussle, Chief Chekwas Okorie, in this interview conducted before the convention of the party recently, he told EMMA-ENYINNAYA APPOLOS that rebuilding APGA is the only challenge before him now. Excerpts:

What is your regret in this struggle?

No regret at all. I said this because, no doubt, I felt a terrible sense of betrayal by Dim Odumegwu Ojukwu, whom I served like a slave, when nobody compelled me to do so,[size=14pt] because I believed him to be the symbol of the Igbo struggle,[/size] and I was warned. I used APGA platform to rehabilitate Ojukwu politically. Everybody is a witness to this rehabilitation, but this man, without any warning, without telling me where I erred, aligned with his kinsmen against me and he led the struggle for APGA destruction. But why I will not regret getting him involved is that he did me a great favour which he did not intend to do. He made me get closer to my God. And ever since I got closer to my God, my closeness to God has been improving on daily basis, so I can’t regret a struggle that gave me great joy at the end of the day of being a happy child of God and the experience I have acquired in the last five years of this struggle. I have not acquired them before. I have understood human beings for who they are. I will not be careless to trust people anymore, but that is not good enough, and I am trying to change that opinion.

What gives you joy when you remember the struggle?

The struggle brought me closer to God. That is my greatest joy. And God has shown me His hand and with that hand, I have defeated more than a Goliath; I have defeated an entire army of brigands and rebels. Now I can identify a traitor from a distance; I can perceive the pungent ardor of a deceiver and my sensibilities are sharpened, and my closeness to God is responsible. I can now perceive things before they happen, and those around me do not take my views lightly because they know that what view I express always tend to happen like that and some times they wonder and ask if I am a prophet and I say to them: ‘no, I am not a prophet but you can achieve what you want to achieve when discipline your body and mind for Christ and get closer to God.’

[size=16pt]The Five Dancing Israelis Arrested On 9-11[/size]

https://whatreallyhappened.com/IMAGES/netanyahu.jpg

A Mossad surveillance team made quite a public spectacle of themselves on 9-11. The New York Times reported Thursday that a group of five men had set up video cameras aimed at the Twin Towers prior to the attack on Tuesday, and were seen congratulating one another afterwards. Police received several calls from angry New Jersey residents claiming "middle-eastern" men with a white van were videotaping the disaster with shouts of joy and mockery."They were like happy, you know … They didn't look shocked to me" said a witness. [size=14pt]They were seen by New Jersey residents on Sept. 11 making fun of the World Trade Center ruins and going to extreme lengths to photograph themselves in front of the wreckage.[/size] Witnesses saw them jumping for joy in Liberty State Park after the initial impact . Later on, other witnesses saw them celebrating on a roof in Weehawken, and still more witnesses later saw them celebrating with high fives in a Jersey City parking lot. "It looked like they're hooked in with this. It looked like they knew what was going to happen when they were at Liberty State Park."

He's not a nigerian, credit card scams are not just by nigerians alone. We only have the reputation.

oyb:
maybe when they're younger -

check out iyabo obasanjo, bukola saraki . in the end , they are certainly not far from the tree.

there is very little i expect from the children of politicians and govt officilas who have grown up in a life of privilege with a sense of entitlement

what do they see their parents doing, harassing civilians in motorcades, engaging in graft, swearing oaths in shrines - and living the good life.

i belive we have some of em - here already - bigb1, crea8tivity etal  

Beaf:
Their favourite was always the Sultan of Sokoto and the caliphate, they destroyed the Edo empire which they saw as a threat. Read these things up.

sjeezy8:
they didn't discriminate between tribes when it CAME TO THEIR OWN INTEREST. Meaning when it came down to Nigeria being a colony they had no favorite. It was who ever benefited them the most at that [b]particular time[/b].

What dont you get i mean c mon have you been to ABJ,VI and met igbos Elites that live in and love the north?
You are talking igbo this and that but have NO IDEA what Nigeria is REALLY LIKE.

ezeagu:
Umm, yes they did. The ethnic groups who they saw as disobedient to 'their masters' were severly punished, they've been studying us since the slave trade. I can show a collection of six volumes of just one work on the anthropology of the Igbo made in the colonial era.

Tsiya:
I havnt read the history enough. . . before independence, the Northern delegates didn't want to be part of the new country.
The British after cn what happened in indo-pakistan independence, decide to foster the idea of national unity on us (I I tried to read their documents on the National archive, but still cannot find the motive behind such move)

The Nigeria was designed to be a conduit of resources to Britain.

Beaf:
^Don't be naive. Britain only established colonies after powerful anti-slavery movements began rocking the boat.

They cam up with a clever plan. Instead exporting slaves and risking political mutiny at home, move slavery to Africa instead. It was not done for your benefit; nobody loves strangers that much (especially strangers of a different colour). They came to plonder, rape and extort, nothing less.

FREE YOUR MIND.
