Tpia or Tipia Your reply above is poor attempt in been logical. I sent you a link on the specific kidnappig of igbos in Owo and you posted an answer that does not in anyway address the question. I wu Ewu? Why can't you Yorubas for once accept that the biggest terrorists are not even from the Niger-delta regionbut fro yorubaland. Why do you kidnapp non-indigenes? I guess you people are the decendeants of arch-tribalist, Obafemi Awolow. Call me paranoid or para-normal i don't care. That is what Chief Ikemba Nnewi was called and today he is vindicated. WE are living in useless country called Nigeria.

Big B1:

You shouldn't be dissappointed, instead, you should go ahead and name one clean entity in Nigeria today that matches IBB's stamina and also has the capabilities to restore things back to normal quickly and accurately.

Ribadu?

tpia:

please go back and reread the post which is getting you all hot under the collar.

tpia:

why are you so afraid of knowing the identities of the kidnappers?

and you are lying through your teeth here. Nigerians consider names very important. People's origins can be traced through their names, and even if someone changes their name to reflect their current residence, they can still be traced through their grandparents or actual family names.

You must be out of touch with Nigera, like so many others who spout nonsense everywhere on this site.

Who is talking of passport? Are the kidnappers travelling overseas?

The Oba of Owo has intervened in this case (thats more than can be said for some other parts of Nigeria). He and other Owo indigenes will be able to tell who exactly these kidnappers are, once they're located and brought to book.

However, don't let me stop you from throwing your pity party and feeling sorry for yourself.

this is the sad part of the story, how would the children be taken care of when baba dies

Big B1:

First, Long life Yar'Adua.

I hope Nigeria see this soon: IBB is the right man for this job.

The man has a lot to lose if he isn't successful this time around.
IBB is not OBJ; this man knows what is missing, what needs to be done, and how it should be done accurately. He would motivate others to vigorously contribute towards the elevation of Nigeria back to the top.
Trust me, the Governors and others government officials would be more focused if IBB takes over this country.
At this critical moment, this country can not be ruled by just anybody; you simply need much more than leadership skill to rule this nation.

As many have claimed in the past that "IBB destroyed this country", so, why not allow the destroyer himself to also put it back together? Do you think someone else knows and understands what went wrong other than IBB himself?

IBB remains one of the most competent leaders in Nigeria today; so, why not allow this man to display his abilities?

It is for sure that the man and his entire family are financially set for the next 100 years, the man can not be touched, and indirectly the man is still actively involved politically; therefore, who is fooling who? who is the loser? what do we have to lose?

I think at this point, we (Nigerians) have nothing to lose. I say "bring him back", let him clean it up.

NICE POST! Its a dream that is pretty far fecthed, and something people may not know, and for real, is that the change comes fron none other than, wait for it, YOU!

@ poster
by the by, u forgot :
* A nigeria with reduced or without corrupt leaders, armrobbers and no Malaria!

tpia:


from original article:


@ bolded: I agree. Its not normal for a Yoruba town. Its not like there's political unrest or stuff of that nature.

and I repeat- there's something weird about the whole thing.

They should reveal the names of the kidnappers, so people can know who they are.

I hope they've been arrested by the police?

tpia:

So you arent aware Owo has a very large number of people from other parts of Nigeria who live and do business there? I checked with a friend who confirmed this emphatically. Go and ask about the non-Yoruba population of Owo.

Owo also has ties to Benin, from antiquity, as anyone can see from the location and also from the ancient Owo/Benin art on display at many museums abroad.

Please do your homework properly before rushing to unfounded allegations. And yes, you are very paranoid. If you consider your state of mind as being normal then that in itself is a scary thought., and I hope people are safe around you.

No, paranoid is not a compliment. Its a condition that needs urgent and strict management, because it will turn to a more serious incurable problem eventually.

DeepZone:

imagine or even ijaw or hausa. Also lots of Benin poeople are jobless riffraffs and their proximity to Owo may be a cause for concern.

DeepZone:

The media can add salt and papper to a story to hype the flavour.

bawomolo:

You get my 100% affirmation on your post. The igbos are the only courageous people to fight for their right and injustice, other ethnic groups are too cowardly especially the yorubas. Did you notice that these people attacking you viciously (yemmyse,bawomolo,bilymuse and Arnold10) where no where to be found when useless Mpele and RSa were insulting Nigeria and Nigerians? They could not even reply him. But these same people when they "igbo" they suddenly feel very hard pressed not to attack us. This what outsiders are seeing. To all of you (yemmyse,bawomolo,bilymuse, Arnold10 and others) who ran away when Mpele and co. were attacking Nigeria i say SHAME ON YOU!

Who was the first person to respond to the psychopath called Mpele? I responded vehemently until i realised that the guy was just a low IQ punk that deserved no response. Believe me i don't take it lightly when anyone, especially a foreigner tries to put down my tribe, my nation or my person. You could ask Mpele and detruth. But u ll never catch me putting down another person's tribe or nation, it is debasing (if that usage is allowed).

This forum shdnt be abt who responded first or last and who insulted who, it is a forum where we all share ideas and learn from one another.
And i think all the tribal bashing needs to stop, bashing other tribes is a sign of lunacy and trying to further divide Nigeria.
We Nigerians makes noise about some SA messing with nigeria and yet we nigerians run it down too, so what is the big deal, being analytical sometimes makes pple to run stuff down and say bad abt it

abi oo
a young enterprising bobo just had his wife kidnapped in Umuahia and they were asking for 15 million .na waooo

keba:

It would be great to conceive such a thought. If this has to be posible, we have to re-orientate our minds first, as
a government then as a people to get to such a state as described in this thread. How i wish for this to be a reality
in this my generation and not when i don kpia
