Sefago (omo ijogbon) stop twisting the facts. All false claims are usually from Yoruba. Why do you not find such in Sun and Champion or other non-Yoruba newspapers? + why must it be an Igbo who lives in Yorubaland that will make false claims such as Yoruba are known for? You check am now.

BTW, genetics can never outweigh the environment. Gene expression is clearly driven by the environment. Otherwise they remain unexpressed. Make I teach you small genetics, olodo

Punch is a Yoruba newspaper. The editors  are most likely Yoruba. This reporter is only a small fry who in any case lives in Lagos and has imbibed Yoruba ways of life (lying and deceit). The editors (and of course, the publisher) decide what gets published. So the news remains an Yoruba news

I know this sounds silly, but its true. Sometimes i just wish there's something i can do to alter the feelings.
I have dated this girl that i love very much for 3yrs and i know she is having multiple affairs with other dudes of different shapes, sizes and background but can't let her go no matter how her behavior nauseates me.

Don't know if she is possessed by demonic spirit leading her to have multiple sexual partners cos I know i'v got the strength to ride for 3 hours. Is there any sickness that can make someone Hot 247. If she is not possessed, then she must be spiritually sick. If i can't think of any reasonable solution i may just resort to Magun!.

slowpoke, take it as a lesson not to be spewing rubbish you can not back up again. OK?

Spewing ignorant shite is what a real dumbass does. With a good education, you would have been taught how to back up your arguments.

I will list a few:


Federal Environmental Protection Agency (FEPA)- What has this institution done in preventing oil spills that destroy the Nigerian Environment?

National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) - To conceal and put a legal name on drug trafficking

State Security Services (SSS)-  Babangida in June 1986 issued Decree Number 19, dissolving the NSO and restructuring Nigeria's security services into three separate organizations under the Office of the Co-ordinator of National Security. The new State Security Service (SSS) was responsible for intelligence within Nigeria. Babangida scrapped Decree Number 4 and reduced the punishment for drug traffickers from public execution to jail terms and he annulled the proscription of "radical" groups such as the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS).

National Directorate of Employment (NDE)- How many Nigerians have Jobs?
National War College (Currently going by a different name I can't remember).- yea sure
I believe the Nigerian Civil Defense Corp was also formed during his era.
He also moved the capital to Abuja ( you may not agree but it needed huge expenditures)- LOL!!!
National Elections Commission -NEC which metamorphosed into INEC (which replaced FEDECO).

There are many many others.

The third mainland bridge is there and solving major transportation problems in Lagos. It used to be hell going into Lagos Island and Ikoyi before that bridge.- It only says it was OPENED by IBB. Not initiated. LOL!!!

Onlytruth:
I can close my eyes now and name at least five solid national "institutions" created by IBB which still play critical role in the Nigerian nation today. I can't even name ONE of Obasanjos. IBB tried his best. He used the best technocrats we had at the time to try fixing the country's problems.

Onlytruth:
How much did Obasanjo steal? In one department alone (electricity) we lost $16 billion to Obasanjo and his gang of thieves. In road construction, we lost N300 billion. No one knows how much OBJ stole, which is part of why he is desperate to pick a president who will help cover his tracks.

Ol boy, the day alarm go blow for OBJ, all you his supporters will faint.  

Onlytruth:
Even if I compare the two military regimes, Obasanjo still enjoyed a better oil boom in the 70s than IBB did in the 80s and early 90s. What did Obasanjo do with the money, he organized FESTAC and ITT where Fela said he (OBJ) and Abiola stole our money. So what are we talking about?

Onlytruth:
I just want you to understand one more point. IBB was the president of Nigeria at a time one barrel of oil was selling for between $10 and $15 per barrel. In the gulf war "oil boom" which lasted only a few months, oil sold for about $40 per barrel.
Now compare that to an Obasanjo era (8 whole years!) when oil averaged about $80 per barrel.  Pray, how do you even begin to compare the two?
IBB was even able to keep the Naira at about N12 -N20 (If I'm not mistaken) in those horrible income scenario. Compare that to Obasanjo era which saw our money plummet to N180 and then settled at N150 per $1.

How did IBB build the third mainland bridge (the IBB bridge)? What did Obasanjo build in 8 years of oil boom?

IBB did his best. He was unlucky. Let's keep things in proper perspective.

MKO was just a benign thief (if you know what that means). Most people voted for him mostly likely out of some exuberance. Now his matter should rest in peace, the Yoruba having been compensated for June 12 with Obj. I do not care about IBB really, but MKO should be remembered for what he was: a benign thief and one who would have mortgaged Nigeria were he not stopped on his tracks

Onlytruth:
The main question is why didn't OBJ do those things himself when he was in office? Why does he need a puppet from the East to do what he failed to do in office?

I'm happy that Jonathan is doing his best (I get his reviews from home), but I also fear for him, especially since the north still want power back next year.

OBJ did not do anything special for the Igbo. I don't even think he did more for the Igbo than IBB in his days. The appointments were not special favors but OBJ trying desperately to leave some legacy (most of his Igbo appointments was during his second term), because he failed to deliver with other people for years. He did it for selfish reasons.

mekusxxx:
All MKO Yoruba brothers on the forum

Have you heard of ITT? I know you have not, ignoramuses. Fela and the military know better that MKO is a thief. Even his son Deji was recently arrested for bank indebtendness. They have nothing to offer as all the stolen billions are finished.

Onlytruth:
The moment IBB threw his hat into the ring for next year's elections, cold calculations began. By that I mean the "whether you like it or not" situation analysis and scenario examinations, began.

If IBB wants to be president of Nigeria, Ndigbo are NOT in a position to stop him. And I believe the same applies to the Yoruba, which is why you find key Yoruba leaders supporting IBB's candidacy.
Ndigbo already tried once to stop another northerner from assuming a post for which he was not qualified. It led to the death of 2 million Easterners.
It won't happen again.
If IBB wants to rule, he is wlecome. Afterall, what is the difference between him and Obasanjo?

All other candidates are not up to par in clout. Simple truth.

Onlytruth:
Have you taken a close look at the members of the Jonathan presidential advisory team? Take a close look and you would see that Igbo are almost the most in number there.
Frankly, if not for the PDP zoning arrangement (there is something intrinsically immoral about failing to honor gentlemen agreement), Jonathan would have received maximum support from the East. He still does, afterall MASSOB is openly backing him. But, the PDP zoning ties our hands. Jonathan is an honorable man. It doesn't make sense to goad him along to dishonor simple agreements. Obasanjo is trying to lead him to untimely death.

Onlytruth:
And you pretended earlier to be puzzled by the picture

So, chill my friend, your period of PAIN in Nigeria will be long.

Ojukwu will continue to correct all the mistakes he made in 1967.

Ndigbo are trying to survive in Nigeria, so the last thing on our mind is the presidency. Though we can help (with our number-50 million of us) determine how things work in Nigeria. That, no one can take away from us. The politics of the future is quite interesting.

EzeUche:
And what ethnicity would this SS person represent? When you say SS do you mean an Ijaw VP? He has to get the support of the East first.

And you act as if the SS is one homogenous ethnic group. Sorry to tell you but we Igbo are part of the SS for better or for worse.

Onlytruth:
My friend it is a game called "the more you look, the less you see if you keep looking at the wrong things".

A picture, they say, is worth more than a thousand words.

Ojukwu is NOT trying to join them. He fought them for 3 years in a brutal war, remember? He understands them and understand what they want in Nigeria. He is steering Igbo away from colliding with these guys. He learned a very important lesson in 1967. He won't repeat that mistake again.

Right now, Ojukwu's main concern is that Ndigbo survive in Nigeria. If IBB will help ensure that, so be it!

Onlytruth:
The picture of the ULTIMATE TRUTH.

Topsido:
Yemmimight, it is called "Delusion of Grandeur" NOT "Visions of grandeur"

Sagamite:
You have no evidence?

My ignorance?

You are a slowpoke!

You want to educate me with the type of education you got? The education of spewing ignorant rubbish without any data or references to back up assertions?

Go and educate cap28 with that kind of education.

Onlytruth:
(Assuming Ojukwu really gave his support to IBB)

This is just to put things into proper perspective.

Ojukwu is the quintessential Igbo leader. He says things which are for the consumption of the "initiated", his words are not for pedestrians! In fact, you need someone properly trained in the art to decode Ojukwu's language (both spoken and unspoken). He knows IBB and knows what Igbo want in Nigeria.

The question is this: Does anyone think that Ojukwu will support anyone who has not, and will not deliver on Igbo interest in Nigeria?

The bigger fool is the person who thinks that Ojukwu will mortgage Igbo interest for any reason. There are NO better or more trustworthy Igbo leader anywhere else. Uwazuruike and (maybe Peter Obi) are still cutting their teeth in integrity. They will replace the great Ikemba one day.

I stand behind my leader.

And the Abiolas have stolen a lot from Nigeria. If in doubt, can you explain how the family suddenly became poor (relatively speaking) as soon as their ole father passed and business became not as usual?

THE PROTEVANGELION OF JAMES
The Protevangelium of James


CHAPTER 8:
3. And when she was twelve years of age, the priests met in a council, and said, Behold, Mary is twelve years of age; what will we do with her, for fear that the holy place of the Lord our God should be defiled?
4. Then replied the priests to Zacharias the high-priest, You stand at the altar of the Lord, and enter into the holy place, to make petitions concerning her, so whatsoever the Lord will show to you, do it.
5. Then the high-priest entered into the Holy of Holies, and taking away with him the bosom-plate of judgment made prayers concerning her;
6. And behold the angel of the Lord came to him, and said, Zacharias, Zacharias, go forth and call together all the widowers among the people, and let every one of them bring his rod, and he by whom the Lord will show a sign will be the husband of Mary.
9. After the high-priest had received their rods, he went into the temple to pray;
10. And when he had finished his prayer, he took the rods, and went forth and distributed them, and no miracle attended them.
11. The last rod was taken by Joseph, and behold a dove proceeded out of the rod, and flew upon the head of Joseph.
12. And the high-priest said, Joseph, you are the person chosen to take the Virgin of the Lord, to keep her for him:
13. But Joseph refused, saying, I am an old man, and have children, but she is young, and I fear, for fear that I should appear ridiculous in Israel.
