Every thing has its season and its time
An idea or a movement whose time has come can't be stoped

The people of Plateau as well as the entire middlebelt who are not of the muhamedian faith need to first understand what they are experiencing and what is also install for them to experience
It is one thing to be confused on what is right to do and end up doing what is wrong
It is another thing to know what is actually right but deliberately decide to do what is wrong, in this case the repacussions are very sivere
The people of the middlebelt region are mostly of the christain faith
As christains they understand that it's a punishable offence to kill an innocent person who has done nothing wrong against you
With such understanding they still allowed themselves to be coased into killing not 1, not 2, not even 100 or 100s, not 1000 or 1000s, but 10s of thousands of innocent men, women and children from the eastern extraction of their country who did nothing absolutely wrong against them
Killings and massacres where carried out in jos, makurdi as well as other cities and towns in the region against their fellow country men for no justifiable reason
Not a person or group of persons could protest against such evil act
Furthermore their son yakubu gowon who was in charge of the country did nothing to stop this wrong act but rather chose to wage an unjust war against this set of countrymen when they chose to take their destiny in their own hands in other to survive
In doing this he (gowon) as well as his collerborators from western and northern part of the decided with the consent of their foreign superiors to block and prevent aid and food from get to these people with the aim of starving as much people as possible
They as well as the rest of country watched as mostly women and children (emphasis on children) couldn't eat for days, weeks and months
They saw them as they kept shrinking and shrinking till they droped dead in the streets, by the roads, in their homes, in the hospitals and relieve centres, in the bushes as well as other places of human activity
About over 3 million of these people died mostly in this grussome process (starvation)
Over 3 million !!! (Count 1,2,..10,...100,...500, ..1000,....100,000, ....1,000,000,...3,000,000+) souls unjustly wasted
There was no geniue remorse, repentance or restitution done when the whole ordeal was over but rather properties belonging to these said people (the victims) where seized and confiscated
Every action has a reaction to it
The reaction could be atimes more in measure than the already initiated action
The damage has been done already
The people of the middlebelt can salvage what is left of the damaged situation by taking the path of reconsiliation
The path to reconsiliation starts with first knowing that you have done wrong and being geniuely remorseful about it
True repentance, restitution and seeking forgiveness from the people you have wronged will then pave the way for reconsiliation
The full measure of the repercussions for your wrong doing will come except this is done
Nature has its way of correcting such wrong situations
Today it could be herdmen, tommorrow it could be disease, the day after it could be some form of natural disaster
You either correct your wrong or nature will correct it for you
This applies to others also involved in the wrong situation that occured in 1966-1970

Stop rambling. Answer his simple question: "Please tell me what the ibos are facing that other parts of the country aren't facing? Is it perculiar to ibos alone?" Na wa, o!

The issue is not about whatever anyone feels they are facing
Some people feel they have been wronged and they have truely been wronged, others feel they have been wronged but truely haven't been wronged, while others don't feel wronged at all
Some are ok with the situation they feel they are in while some are not and want to address it
Let those who want to address their situation be allowed to do so

Demdem:

Please tell me what the ibos are facing that other parts of the country aren't facing? Is it perculiar to ibos alone?
Like u said, if u desire war, u will have what u desire but let it be known that like it was decades ago when the ibos suffered the most, likewise it will be and even more this time around. Only a fool will believe that the war will start from zamfara.

If you are truthful and sincere you will know that the very foundations as well as the different layers of the country and its structure has and is still being built on a fruad
Every structure built on a faulty or fraudulent foundation will eventually crumble
It's either the issues are immediately addressed now and fast or the issues will naturally address itself (in this case conflict/war)
Nature has a way of correcting uncorrected wrong situations
This also applys to lots of other countries in the continent who are also built on wrong settings and structure
There is a reason for the constant conflicts and massive underdevelopment in the continent
One sure thing is that truth is the default factory setting every lie will eventually return to

Demdem:
All I know is if war should start, it will start, affect the more and end in ibo land. Far more ibos especially the women and girls will be severely and serially rapped before slicing their throats.
Nigeria will suffer but ibos will suffer more and worst still Biafra will never come to past.
Kanu is leading ibos to their final destruction.

You can not stop war from coming when things are not done right
Every wrong doing must be made right either through sincere and truthful repentance and reconsiliation or through conflicts and wars
Where the reconsiliatory path is not chosen the war path is inevitable

In Nnamdi kanu's voice "He must be dreaming"

AlienStar:
Is character really a woman's beauty, being of good character why is it posed on the females only are the males not also needed on character building well this statetement of "inner beauty" have a friend of my saying " who needs inner beauty since we don't have x-ray vision" lolz. but what is really meant by that.

Your beauty is in your physical outlook
There is nothing like inner beauty
Your either a good person or a bad person
The better your overall characteristics are the more "good" of a person you become

Queennikky:
God didn't create anything ugly. For the fact that she is a good motivationist, I don't think she is ugly. Beauty is not in the facial appearance alone but also in contents and character

Your look as a person ranges from very goodlooking (beautiful/handsome) to very ugly
There is nothing like inner beauty
You are either a good person or a bad person

sunnyb0b0:
And you think the Igbos are not well aware and prepped for this eventuality?

Go ask the South Africans what happened to them when they wanted to take their xenophobic madness to Hillsborough where you have a high concentration of Igbos.

Hmm

Nothing is truely inferior
Everything just has what it offers
You can only offer more by improving your capacity
You are not truely defeated until you accept defeat

Hmm

Hmm

PunkyVeer:
Lol, you like them together? I always feared something like this was going to happen when I read about him being a ladies man. Bonang is very forgiving though so I'm sure she'll take him back.

Not proud of it, but the South African community is harsh on girls that date Nigerian men. Hence they (the girls) end up dating Nigerians exclusively, because no one will want to date them after that. Sad but true. Shrugs.

The last part, you guys are more passionate than us when it comes to these things. SA don't care. If someone is wrong, whether they're South African or not, we'll say they're wrong. No blind patriotism. In the BBA thread, other South Africans & myself used to criticise the South African housemates when they were wrong & the Nigerian people here thought we were wrong for doing that. I guess, we're just different from each other.

Hmm

trapQ:
The irony is that the scavengers who did this to her may be on nairaland reading this and laughing; and prolly also making hateful comments about the hoodlums.

My thoughts tho

Hmm

londoner:
Op how I wish it were someone like you and not this cancerous KANU that had resulted in Igbo's looking towards their region. One thing Nigeria and Igbos often overlook is its diaspora.

The diaspora is not just people to send money for school fees many of us have positions in the engine rooms of nations Nigeria wants to emulate. Many are privy to how these systems work and are maintained. There needs to be some bridging of ideas and resources. If we can think of state cooperation for mutual benefit that would be a start. I know Obiano is thinking this way and the rest of us have a vested interest in its success.

We have small scale industries that need to be supported and allowed to grow, for example look at the shoe makers and tailors or even those that replicate almost anything at Aba or Onitsha.....we need to be organising them and even developing trade schools and colleges so they can produce world class quality goods and the term 'Aba or Igbo made' will actually have a different connotation. Many times you hear of young talents creating thongs and you never hear of them again after it is no longer news. This should not be so. We should have organisations or crowd funding facilities for their talent to flourish and one day be responsible for breakthrough innovation in Igboland and Nigeria.

Politically I think the diaspora should be more involved by supporting progressive candidates and their grass root ideas. When I say diaspora I mean those that were either born and raised in the diaspora or spent formative years abroad.

Every development on a faulty foundation must eventually crumble

MzzTega:
OK. I got confused about this last week. Was studying when i came across Matthew 5 vs 17. Jesus said and i quote; ‘‘Do not think that i have come to do away with the Law of Moses and the teachings of the prophets. I have not come to do away with them,but to make their teachings come true''.

Going to verse 38 of same chapter i got confused,it was talking about; An eye for an eye;that was what was in the law of moses,jesus said; do not take revenge on someone who wrongs you.

Aint the two laws contradictory?


In Malachi; GOD said he hates divorce

In Matthew;Jesus said;(paraphrased) divorcing a woman other than unfaithfulness,makes her commit adultery.
That is to say;Divorce is permitted only on the ground of unfaithfulness.


Corinthians further stressed it that;When you find it hard to forgive the unfaithful act,divorce.

I need an explanation.

ezeagu:
I propose we come up with ideas we've had for development of eastern Nigeria on a macro level. I've seen bits of ideas floating around all over the politics section and I thought it would be wise if there's a central place people could chip in ideas. It's kind of tiring constantly fighting over politics, most of us wouldn't care much for politics if things were in place to development to occur or if Nigeria was moving in a right direction, so this should be a kind of shelter away from the usually extensive politics, although you can feel free to add political adivse and so on, but it should be for the concern of welfare and development, not merely seeking and office or an "Igbo president".

These ideas would be for infrastructure, transportation, heath, industry, education and so on. This is meant to be for ideas that can ideally be made, they don't have to be feasible now, they can be part of a wider/extended plan, so if you're talking about a tunnel to Bonny Island you're welcome. You never know who is reading or who has power to put things in place.

I encourage photos for case studies, but if you can provide mock ups or sketches or diagrams of your ideas/ideas for eastern Nigeria you've seen that would be perfect. Please if you're a female, we need you to contribute as well, usually you're not in these discussions.

Please if you have no ideas, do not comment.

Nothing works or will ever work properly when the foundations are faulty
You first have to know your true self for you to properly understand your problem

GenBloodykiIler:
there is nothing truthful there and it must not be followed by all mark my words

You can't conclude what is not truthful until you properly investigate

"Nigeria has no government. What we have is a collection of illegality, and more justification of illegality. The question we are asking is, who is a Nigerian? I can show you a Yoruba person, Biafran and Arewa person. Is anybody an indigenous person of Nigeria before Frederick Lugard came? The answer is no. In other words, we accept that one single white man created a nation, and no single person can create a nation. Nations emerge as an organic process that defines boundaries.
But in our own case, one man came, took some parts of Yoruba –there are Yoruba people in Benin Republic. Are you telling me that somebody bearing Adeboye in Cotonou is not more closely related to another Adeboye in Badagry? So, what is Adeboye of Badagry doing wth Okechukwu from Okigwe? Nigeria itself is an illegal entity. Frederick Lugard did not come to my village with a visa. Therefore, I do not need permission to restore my people to what they used to be."


Hmm

"The Indigenous People of Biafra are not a movement, we are a country. We are called the IPOB, we are not a group. We are the citizens of Biafra. Where we differ from those who are running around is that we don’t lie, we don’t cheat, we don’t kidnap people, we don’t appropriate land that doesn’t belong to us, we don’t engage Nigerian politicians, we don’t travel to Abuja, we don’t negotiate, we don’t retreat, and we don’t surrender. It’s Biafra or death."



Hmm

GenBloodykiIler:
Then you and your goons should follow it alone

The truth should be followed by all
