nairavsdollars:There was no attempt at arresting Kanu. The violent onslaught by military were targeted killings to send a message of superiority to Kanu and other secessionists. Arresting Kanu would have been relatively easy since he made public appearances before the recent killings. The DSS could easily have handled that, the legality of the arrest being no hindrance since its been flouting court orders. The military killed people protesting for their rights in Umuahia , just like it did to the residents of Odi. That's what the military is being castigated for. If you think there's a justification for killing innocent people then you need to book a thousand therapy sessions with a psychiatrist. |

HarmonyDee:Alright then. The lady first and he'd follow suit. Wēd contact details mfo yak ami nwēd. Later afo siyo fēp when I notify you. Thread isn't getting any more views so that rules out any concern you'd have. |
WrathOfHadez:Man, still having those biased umpires on your trail? You're not doing much to disguise yourself judging from the inscription on your signature. Then again, why should you? You'd be watching the Barça match? |
Nihilist:On the contrary, gods are benevolent to the mortals they are pleased with and they bless them, in this case, with assists. Football gods assist the 'mere mortals' to be great. Messi assisted Suarez in getting the Pichichi award. Messi assisted Suarez (and others) to become greater. Messi is a god. That's about it. |
HarmonyDee:Sosongò. ![]() Well, I had to will myself to learn to speak and write it. Idagha nke kpõn ke ami nke'di kpep adi wēd iko ukang nnyin. Basically from friends, family, friendly acquaintances and anywhere I could. Ufang mmodo for improvement. I feel I can better what I already know. Erm, tim sè my prequel post. There was a veiled suggestion ke esit. A reply about that? |
Tjola1:Yeah right! Dream on... Another 'rugby' team from the shitty English Premier League is about to get schooled by a representative of the superior La Liga. Don't let your heartbeat outpace its limit. You can't change what it is. |
HarmonyDee:Ah! Yes. Another angle to it. Just out of curiosity or maybe more, yak e neme n'neme away from the beam of public attention/scrutiny of itie ami. |
While I believe rape is a topical issue which shouldn't be swept beneath floor coverings and a significant number of men are perpetrators of the despicable act, I think (and it is obvious) that this report seems fabricated or exaggerated. It seems like the propaganda of sadistic feminists-cum-misandrists with the sole aim of castigating the menfolk. Darn! Read the responses to the questionnaire. They seem like the replies of deranged psychopaths, not everyday men. |
HarmonyDee:Well, I have heard several folks reiterate it but screw it, I don't eat afang everyday so even if it were to be true, it certainly wouldn't be harmful to me. Aditan... Probably a worthy rival to afang when prepared with enough waterleaves. dat soup is just too good,especially with lots of pepper..lolz i like pepperWe certainly share the same sentiments about it. Too good, way too good. About your love for pepper: Now I am curious. You grew up amongst South-Westerners ( they are famous for the spice) or just a personal thing? |
greatnaija01:This, this fanatic-like response to valid questions about religious beliefs, by religious folks is why atheists or those living in denial of divinity nearly always score more against you, me, us in such arguments. His question is valid. Certain beliefs are baseless yet Christians and , by extension, theists try to allows justify them. Why attend church programmes in the morning of weekdays when you should be out earning your coin? Even the Bible supports backing up your faith with work, hard work. Why should you allow a mere mortal call God's church his own yet you still contribute financially and otherwise to build his empire? Why give any man on a three-piece suit who screams even with a microphone the "My daddy-in-Lord" tag yet you have to book appointments weeks ahead with his saucy secretary to see him or pay for forms even? Why believe my security is guaranteed by some church-branded 'anointing oil' when my supposed 'daddy-in-Lord' and 'mentor' has a human wall of hunky, gun-weilding brutes with the 'bodyguards' tag protecting him? Answer his questions if you will and cease laying credence to the stereotype that religious folks are over-sentimental fanatics. |
falcon01:"...A rational Hausa man..." Most people would consider this an oxymoron at best. |
HarmonyDee:Yet to find any person of the Akwa-Cross region who hates it so, yes, I'm crazy about afang... especially if it's garnished with snails and mushrooms. |
I don't want anyone to join my religion. Christianity wasn't suppose to be a religion; scratch that - Christianity still isn't a religion. It's a way of life...or so they say. Christianity as we know it now is just a compilation of rituals aimed at giving the performers a feel-good notion of themselves. Twisted, selfish interpretations of its holy books, a greed-fueled fixation on money and status , discrimination and institutional hypocrisy which should turn the stomach of any rational person. Christianity isn't what it should be on the whole. Spirituality is continually being sacrificed for conformity. Still, I'd stick with Christianity 'cause I am allowed to criticize it. The freedom to do so means it ( the institution) is open to change, forward-thinking change - a stack contrast to other major religions of the world. I suppose the malleability of its rules and doctrines is reason enough to stick with it...and get everyone else on the train. |

bingbagbo:Dimwitted offspring of a newt, your economy thrives virtually on the inputs of Nigerian entrepreneurs. You slaving orangutans still owe Nigeria more than $80 million for supplying petroleum to feed your energy needs. Wizkid who's just one of Nigeria's countless A-list artistes signed more than three-quarters the number of trending Ghanaian artistes. They all call him "Big bro" even though he's younger than them all. Every slimy urchin Ghana calls her celebrity has to come pay homage in Lagos and/or Port Harcourt to be recognized from Majid Michel to Yvonne Nelson to Sarkodie to Efya to the VIPs. They eat and drink Nigeria ! Know your place and cease trying to hobnob with your superiors - Nigerians! |
wingmanII:Featherbrained scoundrel, if you had half the intelligence of a jellyfish, you'd have comprehended that Okorocha's emergence was the most recent, notable one on a formidable platform (the APC). Mention was made of other notable Igbos like Peter Obi , Ngige and the likes who are rumoured to be jostling for the GCFR position in 2019. You have a grouse with all of them too, orangutan? Just like your sobriquet suggests, you'd always be the wingman in the scheme of things until you learn to love yourselves as against the selfish disunity you are known for. Dimwitted, myopic irrational Cururu toad! |
Afam4eva:You do realize the Igbos had a shot at the presidency during the November 2014 APC Presidential primaries in the person of Rochas Okorocha but even before the aforementioned primaries, Okorocha's fiercest opposition and critics were the Igbos themselves . The irony of it. The APC was the most formidable rival to the then ruling party, the PDP. You know what makes it worse? Even if the Igbos are presented the presidency on a platter of gold on either platforms of the two major political parties, they'd still scuffle and fight amongst themselves and never agree on a consensus candidate from Okorocha to Orji Kalu to Peter Obi to Ngige. That, mister, is what is holding the Igbos back. |
baralatie:Maybe it was; then again, maybe it wasn't. Stage fright or not, in front of rolling cameras or behind drawn curtains, the fact remains, the bulk of projected female models and beauty queens are bimbos. This brings us back to the flawed selection processes I mentioned in my prequel post. |
Campusity:The reality of it contradicts your sweeping generalization. There are a gazillion pretty-yet-brainy girls; in this case, thousands of females of Akwa Ibom extraction who are eyecandies yet would make Dora Akunyili proud if she were alive. I consider this an insult of some sort. The Akwa Ibom girls I interact with aren't all bimbos as being portrayed by that sham of a beauty contest. The ones I know are smart; a significant number of them are. I think - scratch that - the selection process is flawed. It goes without saying that happy-go-lucky bimbos are easier to manipulate, to control. Hence why the organizers tend to favour picking dumb girls. The dumber, the easier, I suppose. There are a gazillion examples. The most recent, popular ones being the infamous quips by the female Big Brother Nigeria participants. Blame the organizers for the disgraceful displays. There are always screening processes to sieve out these seeming unintelligent girls but for some obvious selfish reason, they nearly always scale over the preliminary hurdles. |
jstbeinhonest:Does he? Messi' beard style is as suave as beard styles go. I'm inclined to assume you're a beardless dude who can't sprout the silky length of such or a dude with a patchy, scanty beardline. Veiled envy? |
HungerBAD:Respect? HungerBad? TheSonOfMark? Our e-paths rarely ever cross so what's with playing the 'I-Respect-You' card as a get-away outlet? Your subtle attempt at emotional blackmail is as ineffective as water corroding gold. I am not Anti-Igbo. And neither do i advocate for the use of force. I am just Anti- IPOB.I have been engaged with countless Igbo-ascribing monikers on tribal spats when provoked but would I hail a not-so-veiled massacre targeted at them? Hell would have to freeze over first. Of course, you're not anti-Igbo - you are anti-justice and pro-marginalization. There are plenty of blames to go round on all sides.Hogwash! The military invasion of a relatively peaceful region is an act of biased aggression itself.[/quote] I am about to leave for Church service,and next time we will continue this discussion.[b] Predictable retort. Typical of us Africans to try to hypocritically project ourselves as pseudo -sanctimonious to evade criticisms even when we err. You've probably attended more church programmes this year than I have in last thirty months but even a daily immersion in River Jordan itself wouldn't change the obvious - YOUR HUMANITY IS DEAD! |
TonyeBarcanista:Suffering from accelerated amnesia or just playing the ostrich? Whichever it is, here's me shooting darts of hard facts in-between your eyebrows. You do realize sycophantic, a-naira-for-my-thoughts folks like you are why the people of Odi (an Ijaw community of which you share tribal ties with) are yet to get justice eighteen years after they were massacred by the Nigerian government. You do realize during Peter Odili's tenure as Governor of Rivers State, Rivers indigenes were killed mindlessly in repeated sprays of gunfire yet we are still glossing over it like some unimportant page of a boring book. Same is happening in the South East and being proposed in the other Southern regions. Laugh, brother; laugh at the screams of anguish by the persecuted until you, me and other Southerners get razed by the pyroclastic haze you fueled with your support. |
FTrebirth:Here, there and a mention/quote away. |
HungerBAD:Maybe he is, maybe he's not. Still, it doesn't justify the fact that the military invasion of the South East to counter a supposed uprising which has been hitherto comparatively peaceful and within the ambits of international law was needless and a disarrangement of national priorities considering the fact that the underlying triggers of such uprisings haven't been tackled. I am Ibibio; I vehemently refuse the idea of my people being lumped in a non-defined map of Biafra but the humanity in me still thrives. There are countless Igbos who refuse the idea of Biafra but you hunt them all with the majority of us - the other tribes - cheering them on as they are killed in the South and North. HungerBad, your humanity is dead! |
As long as it doesn't degenerate into a violent scuffle, they are within the ambits of the law. This should be youths in the Eket-Ibono axis; little wonder it seems comparatively calm. With Oro Nation youths it would have been, well, more tense. |
Dionnetech:Smart thinking! Exactly what I was local-searching for before reading your post. That nails it. |
Kelvin0:Alright then. It's been replied. |
Kelvin0 , I just saw an email notification from you. How may I be of help? |
EmperorLee:The team names shocked me. "Instagram Warriors", "Nairaland Devils"... What the...?! Not surprising, Nairalanders are infamous for posting sadistic comments. The tag fits us. |
