Gbawe: well said Berem. No one has ever claimed the ACN to be perfect but the fact is that they are giving the SW a better deal after the despoil, pillaging and plundering of the PDP. One must ask why Fasehun did not see it fit to resurrect UPN when the SW was being gang-molested by OBJ and his criminals. Now with his pocket swelled full of Naira from Aso Rock chaos merchant and sponsors of terror, Fasehun wants to be the latest 'omo ale' for hire to benefit from GEj's shamelessly open desperation to reamin in Aso Rock by all means.

Well, Fasehun will get nowhere because the people of the SW see through the cheap chicanery and understand, perfectly well, why he has become another self-betraying hungry mercenary in the mould of Abati.

Jonathan's fall will be a great one that may cost him dearly when this all blows up in his face. This desperation to cause chaos everywhere just to retain a job he badly sucks at will mean GEJ himself will know no peace or happy end.

Bros please can you prove that GEJ is behind this? I thought the contract issue has been confirmed as FALSE? Why cant you guys concentrate on your jobs and let GEJ/PDP be? Must you lot blame him for all your problems? the whining is really getting sickening. peace

And that's our prayers IJN! somebody say AMEN!

eko ilee: There they go again with their Yoruba and tribal fixations. This is how they start, but their babysitter mods are no where to be found or call them to order before the other side responds.

Never fails..

I cant see anybody disrespecting the Yorubas here! Are you alright? or are just seeking attention? cheers

aletheia: OP: Let me be blunt by saying this - you are a bigoted, evil, tribalistic and small-minded man hiding behind vacuous, insipid bombast which is boringly and predictably punctuated by twaddle such as "clannish".

This Victor Umeh is just a clown!!!

*YAWNS* . Justice fighter my black ass.

solomon111: ACN the pride of the SW?
I never knew.
Besides,when did this your pro-ACN/yoruba stance began?
I would like to know.

She is married to a YORUBA man. Let her be please!!!

nabiz: mobsyn, let me tell u that the ibos ar a very hadworking tribe and can do without any tribe. what we want is peace and development and not oil. we the ibos can till our ground to develop our region. development is not how much oil deposit u hav but a function of how u manage ur god's given resouces. ibos ar not caword like other tribes who dont believe they can develop without oil, so take note ...lol.
On wether to divide nigera, i suggest that nigeria will be better and stronger if we stay together but let us adopt a true fedral systerm of government that will bring a possitive competition among each region, but if not that, I SHOUT AND CRY FOR DIVISION. LONG LIVE NIGERIA

Young man its IGBO and not IBO. You should be ashamed of yourself.

@IKENNA

God bless your intentions. Am also tired of this tribal slurs on NL, its really becoming sickening. FYI, its IGBO and not IBO, so i'd expect you to ban anybody using such word as IBO, likewise anyone using Yoruba instead of YORUBA. We need some sanity in here.

Tolexander: where did you see the defeated arguement?
You made an irrelevant example to a thread.
A related analogy would have been a musician is better than another musician and not a lyricist is better than a musician.
Go and understand the basis of argument and fallacy!

Stop confusing yourself young man. I put up a question to you and up till now you still cant answer it. Quit running in circles because your argument is terribly flawed!

*YAWNS*

ONE NAIJERIYA!!!!! . Boko haram for North, Militant for ND, Plateau on fire. To think that some bastar.ds fought to keep this hellhole as one is disheartening. Well, Lets all enjoy ONE NAIJERIYA!

WOW. Nice one Reno!

nijanigga: Oh so the govt got the bread and knife? Many dimwits full Nigeria.GEJ can go to court and produce the evidence.
Nigeria is a useless country with more goats than humans.

You are the first dimwit! If i feel like i have a case against someone and report to the police, their first step would be to arrest the person,interrogate him and investigate the matter properly before deciding on a court proceeding or not. Why all this noise then? Stewpid people with hate-filled souls.

hahahahahahahahahahaqhahahahahahahaha . JOKE OF THE DECADE

Tolexander: since you have answered the question to your fallacious statement what is now the essence of disturbing me with red herrings on the thread which is meant to be a criticism on achebe's work.

Defeated argument! So we can now happily agree that winning an award doesn't equate to one being the best in his field. CASE CLOSED!

@Tolexander

Can you now answer my question now sir?

Tolexander: show me where you said so.
you and who are discussing that? You were just beating round the bush.

Sure its not, but i know Nelly is not a "classical" musician. He is a HIP HOP artiste and HIP HOP is all about Lyrics. Stop embarrassing yourself sir!

This was my reply. Do i have to break it down for you sir?

Tolexander: you are too unprofessional for me to handle.
You said better lyricist and i asked you if music is all about lyrics before jumping about.

I replied you that music is not all about Lyrics but that the particular genre we are discussing is. HIP-HOP is 90 percent all about lyrical content.

Tolexander: elements of hip hop from wikipaedia



Had you been into music, you would understand what am saying and stopped this argumentun ad ignorantium.
Watch programs like project fame and co to know somethings about music.
It is always stressfull arguing with the laymen cos it only takes the professionals to understand the terms.

So project depicts good musical knowledge? DAMN IT! . Mr Ignoramus, Project Fame is a talent reality show which the judges have their own criteria of judging the winner. We are discussing a HIP-HOP artiste winning a GRAMMY. Whats the co-relation? You obviously know nothing about music!

WTF is this? I have been into music way back before you listened to your first HIP-HOP song. What exactly are you trying to prove by yanking that ish off Wiki? I have told you to use your own standard of a good music of musician to answer my question, but because you lack the basic knowledge of MUSIC, you ran off to Wiki to yank off some senseless lines. Am done with you sir!

Mr femi: this new argument na all time low lool

Amala brain! How would you get the point?

Gowon come and see your ONE NIGERIA ooooo. This is just the beginning!

Tolexander: stop demonstrating ignorance. Music is not all about lyrics.

Sure its not, but i know Nelly is not a "classical" musician. He is a HIP HOP artiste and HIP HOP is all about Lyrics. Stop embarrassing yourself sir!

Tolexander: you are just billions of aeronautical miles out of the point.
The argument about winning a nobel prize in ones field such as literature considers your dexterity with all the elements of literature.
While winning a grammy also entails your dexterity with elements of music such as vocal dexterity, lyrics, sound system, bla bla bla . . even ones attitude.

Shut it, Mr Ignoramus. Nobody gives you a grammy for your sound system as an artiste (that goes to the producer). What matters is Lyrical content,general performance of a song or an album, e.t.c. Now, Since you guys are trying to opine that since Soyinka won a Nobel prize and Achebe didnt, he is now better than Achebe. Wont it be appropriate to say that since Nelly has won a Grammy and Nas hasn't, that he is better than Nas?

phantom: you might need to go pull someone from the music section.these guys go dull you.

Abi? I just want the dolts to see the the stupidity in their argument!

Please all the Yorubas in the house, Am still waiting for someone to tell me how Nelly is a better Lyricist or Artiste than Nas! DAYOKUNU,EKO ILE and co....am waiting!

Parnassuss: To the best of my knowledge, Wole Soyinka and Achebe had a deep and profound appreciation and respect for each other and their works. They are contemporaries in greatness and I would expect some student in SS3 to compare them not a man of Sam's caliber. They wrote differently and had different pursuits. I wonder why Alexander Pope and William Shakespeare aren't compared like this...


Anyway, if Sam really feels that kicking a dead man will bring him happiness and satisfaction, I can only watch and shake my head. You are better this Mr Omatseye

Its the Yoruba "pull him down" blood in him. So pathetic!

Ola Johnson: Leaders of Igbo that are alive should tell their people the truth about the 1966 crisis and the civil war. Instead of Chinua Achebe to tell his people the truth especially in his only non-fiction, There Was A Country, apart from The Trouble With Nigeria, he ended up lying against Obafemi Awolowo. If "Biafra" had done what Awolowo was accused of Achebe wouldn't have seen anything wrong in it. Is it not rather a slap on Achebe's face that the same Awolowo he accused was described by his (Achebe) oga at the top, Emeka Ojukwu, as being the best President Nigeria never had. What is in play here, even as people (some of the Igbo) have had their brains blocked by tribal bigotry is bringing the saying, "what goes round comes around." :Achebe accused the late Awolowo; the late Achebe is now, with facts, being accused by not just a poet, a journalist but also a 1984 product of History, Unife (now OAU), Omatseye Oritsetimehin Sam. I dey laugh. Eni ba n binu ko lo ko s'omi ta bi ko lo bo s'enu railway.

You are really dumb! When your rat poison loving sage was alive, he accepted to using starvation as a tactics and also to championing the "20 pounds" ish. So what exactly are you blaming Achebe for? for daring to say the truth? Now we dont have any issues with losing the war because all is fair in war, but why are you guys ashamed of your god's actions to the point of denial? even when Awolowo himself didnt deny it.Your tribe is a sickening tribe, i spit on you guys!

Tolexander: hello! You said a man couldn't win the grammy despite the fact that he was considered the best lyricist. Just tell me if winning a grammy stands on how lyrical the music is. Basic!

Am asking you sir, since winning an award now equates being the best in your field! Do you now see how foolish your people's argument is?

bknight: Fellow Nigerian, what exactly are you talking about?

I believe Sam Omatseye is not from the 'otapiapia' loving sage, have I told you I am of this sage you talk about?

Sam's Mum is from the otapiapia loving tribe
