I don't know why some clowns here have turned into perpetual revisionists! Ojukwu never wanted war but peace, Biafrans didn't fire the first shot, Nigerian Troops (under First Division, Commanded by Col Mohammed Shuwa) did in the early hours of 6th July, 1967 at Garkem (a town about 49 kilometres from Ogoja in Cross River State)! Ojukwu remains a HERO for fighting the injustice of his era and his suggestion for a confederacy then remains relevant in the scheme of things today!

Katsumoto: To ensure that development spreads to all parts, I believe that various areas should be strategic capitals. Lagos of course will be economic capital, Ogun industrial, Ekiti/Ondo - academic, Ife/Osun - Spiritual, Ibadan - administrative, etc.

Brilliant suggestions, but you and I know that should we split today the battle for a Yoruba Country capital will be source fro Ibadan, Abeokuta and Akure that is if a little 'kiriji war' will not occur between leaders!

luvmijeje: Excuses! Excuses! Can someone tell my ever dulling President except when he wants to loot to honourably resign.

I will pardon your ignorance only on one ground, prove to me that he is not working, then I will 'love you jeje' please don't keep me waiting!

seanet02: National Assembly is where the North is waiting for you Tomaskint
You simply cannot reason beyond your nose

......and who are this north? Mr Almajiri you reason like someone born to suffer in the hands of your Hausa-Fulani Masters!

Jonathan so far so good has proved beyond reasonable doubt that he is to be RESPECTED whether you are for or against him!

/\ /\ /\ another issue I will love them to discuss extensively is the 'Middle-Beltans' especially replacing the 'NorthCentral' with Middle-Belt! The present Middle-Belt can be divided into; Middle-Belt West namely; southern Kebbi, Niger, Kogi, Kwara, Benue and southern Kaduna while Middle-Belt East shall consist of; Nasarawa, Plateau, Taraba, Adamawa, southern Gombe, southern Borno and southern Bauchi! With this, the myth about a monolithic north will be finally laid to rest!

They (ASUU) were lucky to have a re-think if not dem for 'strike tire' we all know their mission; money, money, money! They don't really care about the students all they care for are their never-satisfying fat POCKETS! Set of mindless, cofused 'intellectuals'!

Wao such a rich thread on history we got here great thanks to brilliant contributors here such as katsumoto, omonnakoda, macof, shymexx, lertee, papparatzzi, 9jacrip etc I love this!

Once upon a time, a particular race were targeted for extermination, a brave soldier, Lt.Col Ojukwu (of blessed memory) took the case upon himself to report the plight of his people to the appropriate quarters (Gowon and his Hausa-Fulani Masters) they pretended to do something but the pogrom continued for 5 good months the aftermath led to the Civil War (an extension of Murtala and gangs pogrom on the Igbos)after the war, the Igbos were totally emasculated but today the Igbos have been vindicated!

When we give ourselves and all to God for His use every other thing we need to be somebody shall be randomly supplied this I know. But the problem here is, mankind find it extremely difficult to serve God this way but would rather serve and honour The Creator's creations except for few among mortals! So, in Cain's case, it could be deduced that he already harbours hatred against his brother, Abel before they appear before God with their sacrifices!

Wao, I love the comments being made here for real. Come on people, another moment is beckoning to shape the destiny of our country for good and that is the National Conference being championed by this working Jonathan-led administration let's all support this government to make the National Conference a huge success come next year and while at that get ready to return this man, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, back to Aso Rock! Peace

It pays to be RICH! Whether it's money miss road or not......Will Smith is living the DREAM! Money is GOOD.

@omonnakoda is that really you or should we look for another? I can't believe my eyes that you are the one dishing out good history in a flawless manner, your analyses here today were perspicuous, rich, elaborate and educative! Truly, you mastered your history very well I am impressed especially on how the name 'Yoruba' came to be and the Nupe/Borgu connections, you are so right!

Dibiachukwu: We hereby disown any Igbo with Yoruba name. They must be high on amala

You have just been gamed if you believe anything that notorious troll says here get a troll detector fixed on your bandwidth, it works wonders......'tomakint is purely a Yorubaman with a sense of direction and knack for reality' dayokanu is a TROLL be warned.....

tomakint: Mods, this https://www.nairaland.com/1479839/fg-completes-20-new-silo#18850291 deserves to be on the home page please, it's part of what we all as a people have been praying for!

OAM4J, Afam4eva and Sexkillz I am still on you guys necks, kindly push the above thread to the Frontpage for more robust debates it's one of the biggest news of the GEJ's administration don't let that thread die please.

Katsumoto: The people of Ilorin and Kwara in general should decide where they want to be. Afterall, Ketu, Popo and other Yoruba.
In any case, the emirs of Ilorin are more Yoruba than Fulani. The emir is only fulani in title.

Katz, you may be right to an extent on your last sentence, but when I was in Ilorin, I got to know that the Emirate thing has gone too deep in politics that it will take a revolution to have an Oba in Ilorin, Lawal tried it but died mysteriously!

Enegito: you must be fool to say dat.which heart has he spoken?idiot

You lack the basic cognitive skills bequeathed to mankind by God, yes, the OP spoke the real truth and the hearts of many must you display your boorish attitude here by attacking vado? Ilorin is purely a Yoruba place betrayal between brothers paved way for the Fulanis to occupy that land and up till date an Emir is King in a Yorubaland I thought you will worry more on this but you preferred to attack?

Finally, Promise made! Promise kept!! Promise delivered!!! FreshAir everywhere......won't you agree with me #TeamAPC#

....and this is courtesy of Jonathan's administration!

peppy luv: Don't live ur life in a just and upright way,keep waiting for prophecies that will lead you to end time cuz u don't know a man's world comes to an end when he dies and that time you do not know!

Lunatics are on their way to derail the topic and turn it to another catholic bashing thread but I am so ready!
*brings out cutlass and sharpens it*
Now who wants to see his end time 1st

Don't preempt them (the derailers) just say what you know! It's a debate please!

First thing first, Bible have always preach modesty in all our ways as Christians, these days, I have seen many Christians frowning at other Christians because of their indulgence, if a bottle of alcohol (Star, Guinness, Wine, Gulder etc) is ok for you why not go for that and be fine if you can't take those sweetened ones like Coke, Fanta, Maltina etc Excesses of alcohol is what makes you look like a wretched before God, the Bible never talks about total abstinence but modicum of control in all our ways! In some Christian circles, if you touch a bottle of Guinness, you are automatically a 'sinner' Children of God, over to you!
