Da infamous: Thank you very much,we have to understand about this evil men that participated in genocide killing are getting killed by there own people,so the superficial explanation for the assignations and suicide bombs is an affront to God Almighty, Who would never condescend to the base human sentiments of retaliation. The proposed explanation also contradicts with His mercy.

Exactly the point I made! You got it perfectly, mark my word many rats will still fall.

Da infamous: boko harams are making it easier for us..

Trust me, many people will never understand the 'law of retribution' the blood of those millions of souls wasted by Gowon and his goons are bitterly crying day and night for justice.If the clown(Gowon) had apologized to the IGBOS and faithfully implement the 3Rs by now he would have been celebrated.Indeed, Gowon is a die-hard hypocrite of the deepest dye.He with his gangs had murdered sleep, it is pay back time now-hmn!

van bonattel: They won the war and lost the peace to the Biafrans

No, they won the battles but completely lost the war! Because their aim is to have a peaceful united Nigeria, but look what we have now a chaotic situation.Indeed, Nigeria current situation has just confirmed the vindication of Ojukwu!

Hero? We are talking about pay back time for goons who perpetrated the greatest evil against innocent souls during the Nigerian-Biafran War. That dark episode will remain with us except we address it once and for all.He and one Major General Shelleng were the ones who gave accounts how Nzeogwu was killed at Nsukka. More rats will still fall!

Abstinence before marriage is built on trust, but the big question now is, how many people are reliable in the real sense of it? To the ladies, if a guy insists on sex before marriage ask urself 2 questions; if I allow him will he still marry me? if i refuse will he end it? If u go with the first option u may be walking into a trap. The second option is ur surest bet why? Men hate cheap ladies, make yourself an ideal woman before ur man. Say no to sex b4 marriage and he will be proud of you

Men are naturally prone to it, even the virtuous among men do it out of control at times, at the same time they may choose not to only if determined not to.It's a serious battle of the mind.

@thelastPope and gilmaro you have succintly made your points, you guys are wonderful but its a pity that disorder called amnesia is a common food in Nigeria. Most of them will still fight u on that confirmed revelation on Yar'Adua. Imagine the way he lord d northerners on all of us and his wife was like a Sheik, it was that terrible because I was in Abuja then! Good job guys.

Tafawa Balewa made democracy looked like state of lawlessness & gross corruption;
Shagari made democracy looked like child's play and open display of ineptitude;
Obj made democracy looked like militocracy;
Yar'Adua made democracy looked like family and tribal business;
Jonathan made democracy looked like a free for all.
Bottomline: For now, there is none that fits in!

The question is will they allow it to work? When the Anti-Corruption Bill was passed under Chief Olusegun Obasanjo’s administration in 2002, it was generally applauded as the need of the hour going by its rich and remedial contents which stipulate:
(1) Punishment for corrupt practices and other related offences;
(2) Establishment of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), vesting it with the responsibility for investigation and prosecution of offenders;
(3) Empowerment of the Chief Justice of the Federation to authorize an independent investigator to carry out investigation on allegation of corrupt practices or anything purporting to contravene any of this Act, level against the President, Vice President, Governor or Deputy Governor and consequently making his report or findings to the National Assembly, as the case may be;
(4) Power to punish any offence committed outside Nigeria by a Nigerian citizen as if it was committed in Nigeria and; (5) Protection of a person who gives information to the commission in respect of an offence committed or likely to be committed by any other person. Unfortunately, we all know that the whole contents of the Anti-Corruption Law have nearly been flagrantly violated with the culprits allowed to roam free while the tenet of the rule of law which states; equality before the law, is trampled underfoot. In Nigeria, influential public and private officials commit crime with impunities!

When a seating President can appoint an Aide-Camp to Ibrahim Babangida (Dasuki) as his new Security Chief, expect the unexpected. Nigeria is a land of jokes. Why on earth would a Jonathan sack an Aziza?

Aba as a future mega city in the making is not too bad, but I would have loved to see ABRIBA(that place fine die ) in pictures, I really enjoyed my stay back then in Isuikwuato local government! I visited Ovim (home of the Generals), Abriba, Ojukwu bunkers and war museum in Umuahia, and many other places. One would not believe it was the same place reduced to rubble after the war some forty something years ago!

@9javoice, you will live long for digging this up, My God shall make your enemies your footstool in Jesus Name (Amen)! Indeed, just like my signature, “truth is a mystery; it takes time to unravel itself” I have always believed in that principle all my life and it’s really helping me. The first, second and third excerpts are well orchestrated and reliable. Prince Iboro Udom version’s was excellent and succinctly captured the whole episode the way he ended his piece with, “Others are enjoined to also tell Nigerians what they know about the war, the pogrom and proffer a way out. We have lied for too long, we have pretended for too long. Time for admission of wrong and confession of sins is now. The Igbos deserve our sympathy and off course, apologies.” Pini Jason’s version where he said, “…in Nigeria, my truth is a lie, and your lie is the truth!” is a common dessert in the country. The Major General Alexander Madiebo accounts was very direct and unbiased, I remember coming across something related (although not as loaded as this) in his book, “The Nigerian Revolution and the Biafran War.” I cannot agree less, you really made my day, I must confess that after the book, ‘The Fall of Biafra’ by Ben Gbulie this excerpt comes next as one of the expository and revealing accounts on the Nigerian-Biafran Civil War. I am impressed by this noble truth, I have always believed the Igbos deserve REPARATION, I have a short post to that on this forum. Imagine how we just lost the oil-rich Bakassi like that, indeed once an Aboki, always an Aboki. The problem with so many of us is that, the bitterness some of our fathers nursed against the Igbos have been transferred down to some of us, hence the truth about the Biafra genocide claim has been beclouded by prejudiced-driven hatred for a progressive tribe especially from deluded clowns in the house (chief among them is one thing that calls himself ‘Ogbomosho Goat’ aka dayokano)! The Bakassi episode really catch my fancy, a pay back time for greed, and this is the same man going about shouting, ‘praise the Lord’, indeed, the heart is deceitful and terribly wicked! I hope the respected literary Icon (Professor Chinua Achebe) and others involved can move quickly and see how the Pretender-In-Command, Gowon, will be made to face International Court of Justice for his government crimes against defenseless nursing mothers, pregnant women and children before he commits [b]suicide! [/b]Wole Soyinka will always be an adored Personality to me till I breathe my last! The tribalistic tendencies of Nairaland discussants always end up watering down sensitive topics that we ought to have benefitted maximally from, most times some ‘smart clowns’ on Nairaland even have a way of bungling debates and shifting them to their ‘Comfort Zones’ by asking for evidences each time you make your points. Some are fond of derailing sensitive topics and at the end defeat the purpose that topic would have generated if well discussed. Indeed, many Nairalanders have dumped this forum for ‘Nigerian Village Square’ because of the childish and wayward antecedents of some goons here who just want to be heard at all cost even though they are making a fool of themselves.

The Pretender-In-Command will never cease to amaze me, he coined the sly catchphrase, ‘no victor, no vanquished’ for conscience sake, he went further by promising to integrate the Igbos back into the political mainstream of the country. Till date, the Igbos are yet to be integrated and he is going about forming, ‘I am a Christian, let’s pray for a Peaceful Nigeria’ thank God no one can mock God, his own home State is still on fire and exactly what Biafrans felt then is being replicated across the whole North – that is why he is GOD! This same man, Gowon, was privileged to be at the helms of affairs at a time oil was booming and contributing well to the revenue of the young country, little wonder he said then, “the problem with Nigeria is not money, but how to spend it.” He left the Reconciliation, Rehabilitation and Reconstruction (the 3Rs) bogus promise he made to the Biafrans shortly after the war and chose to establish an agreement with Eric M. Gairy, then Prime Minister of Grenada, on May 1975 to pay the salaries of the small Caribbean country’s civil servants ($2.5 million was loaned out by the Gowon led government) during the Commonwealth summit held in Jamaica (you can read this up on page 71, “Troubled Journey: Nigeria since the Civil War”, eds LN Nwachukwu and GN Uzoigwe, 2004 also “Nigerian Foreign Policy Under Military Rule 1966-1999″ by O Abegunrin, 2003, page 63). He did this at a time Nigeria was burning and riddled with uncontrolled corruption. The Pretender-In-Command was even found out to have built a five-star hotel overlooking the beach in Togo. Agreed, we all know Gowon was not in command, he was a mere puppet in the hands of the Kaduna Mafia Group and the British Secret Agents but because he had an “ambition to rule at all cost” he chose to play the puppet and one would expect that at 78 years old, he ought to have taken the path of honour by making his way right with his God and apologizing particularly to the Igbos sincerely for his role in the genocidal colouration of the civil war and the pogroms that took place before the civil war. Unfortunately, he is still blaming Ojukwu (who has since been vindicated) and trying to mask the FACTS of what actually transpired then.

When he was eventually kicked out by the Barbarian, Murtala Mohammed, we thought a reasonable one had taken control, but we were all wrong. Murtala laid the foundation for the indebtedness and mass unemployment in the country till date. He sacked about 10,000 civil servants from the polity in the name of reform and systematically infiltrated the balanced Civil Service Commission with his fellow “Mallams” and indirectly opens up the country to the emergence of “Ghost Workers.” Not done yet, he with his Supreme Military Council gangs, without due consultation from a wider scope carved out Abuja as the ‘New Capital Territory’ in view, hence, resorting to heavy borrowing and extravagance spending at a time we need to establish more industries and carve out better standard of living for the teeming populace then, thereby plundering the young country into more miseries. Abuja Master Plan was laid in 1975 and up to now it is still undergoing developments (imagine the huge funds that would have been wasted and misappropriated) while the 3Rs promise to the Biafrans have since been neglected, tell me what kind of leaders do we have in this country? Abuja was penciled down at a time Lagos was yet to be saturated with meaningful developments expected of a city. I may not consider Abuja as a location for capital territory as a bad idea but rushing into such a project that requires huge capital at a time the country needs restructuring and meaningful developments was fraudulent and ill-timed! Nigeria must continue to thank God that a ruler in the mould of Murtala didn’t last 6 months!

Bunch of jobless nutjobs, 'potential rogues' are in Abuja stealing billions of naira everyday na 'goat thief' clowns gathered around to dish out jungle justice to. Very funny country and irritating news

[quote author=afam4eva]Afam u made a point earlier that all Yorubas do not necessarily hav to agree on one thing, unfortunately u fell 4 dayokanu's scam! Why not ask him to prove my identity with those folks he was embarrasing all around. Please dont share in his sins! That Yorubas brought politics of bitterness into Nigerian politcs is that my making.Even Pa Awo tried to unite the Yoruba political divides,he couldn't! That I hav d balls to face d tribalistic Yorubas here is what baffles dayo

[quote author=dayokanu]Son of Belial, this should b my last post from me to u! It seems u want to take something home to ur parents because u'v been on my neck all around this forum.Even if u are paid to deface my character u av just failed(u may b d scapegoat here).if u are sure I am Ngodigha and co prove it b4 everyone,prove to them i went to UI,what kind of a demonic human being are u? must we agree on d same thing as Yorubas?Dat Yorubas are treacherous and fearful is dat my own making?Omo ale

Jamisco: i dont think it was a plot to exterminate the igbos, it was a war

Friend, have u heard of 'Conspiracy Theory' before? To every conspirsacy theory, there are plot, lies and cover-up. We are talking of underlying facts here and not the opinionated views of most books written on the direct cause of the war. Pick any book on the war and u'l c the dissenting voices on the direct cause of the Kaduna Mafia/British war against the Igbos.Trust me we(SW & others) were used

@ OP this is a very revealing piece, I am impressed this is coming up at a critical stage in d history of this country.Right from the 1962 census till the last in 2006 it has been fraudulent figures galore! I hope the forthcoming one in 2015 wil be more transparent to checkmate the British winning formula for the Northern hegemony. I wonder how Ibadan in the 60s could be more than Kano and all of a sudden in the 90s and now (2012)Kano is more and ridiculously than Lagos, no thanks to Obj on that

I think English has come to stay in its domineering status the more reason we often blend our dialect with English.In my own candid opinion, I believe English has usurp many languages in Nigeria except for a few, take a look at the Yoruba language, there is what we call the ilana afetiya(words borrowed from the way we hear the pronunciation) and ilana afojuya(words borrowed from the way they are written). Our environment didn't allow one to relate in one's dialect, and this is bad!

Virtually all the principal actors of the ill-fated civil war are all dead, thank God Gowon is stil alive he may eventually be the rightful scapegoat to answer for his government genocidal crime against defenseless nursing mothers,pregnant women and little children which some human-demons on NL called spoils of war. Gowon repeated justification for the genocide is a credence to the fact that he was part of the plot to exterminate the Igbos and if eventually taken to the Hague, he might be nailed!

dayokanu: Exposed as what?

Everyone can see through you bastardd tomakint aka Andre Uweh. A Igbo ashamed of his ancestry and now claims Ondo

Exposed as a lunatic don't tell me u don't know! Your name Dayo+kanu(combination of Yoruba and Igbo name says a lot abt u)But seriously how many tribal marks do you have on ur face? Ogbomosho goat! I am very sure ur case requires u c T.B Joshua b4 its too late. Oh lest I forget thanks for making me popular on NL my town crier!

Andre Uweh: Bia Dayoosiris, Have I not informed you that am not Tomakint.
Why do you envy a Yoruba man who is not as bigoted as you lots?. Dude, carry time ooh!.

Ignore that 'thing' he is under serious spiritual attack u can c dat thru his posts. in case u don't know he is a grandson to the man who broght treachery to modern Yoruba nation, Chief S.L Akintola. Leave him to me. Gowon refused to write when he was younger, is it now that he has gone senile? Bone dat man!

dayokanu: Tomakint, So why didnt Ojuku write his own memoirs?

Son of Belial if brains come with extras u should b on ur number 100! U are too daft to come up with something concrete, why not try another trick alj harem ur disdain for a progressive tribe is worrisome ur case is irredeemable, u av been exposed. abeg andre no curse this 'thing' he is under a spell! Read 'because I am involved' mr psychopath

jason123: ....and you are a lost soul with no objectivity. As long as it favours Igbos, that's all that matters right? Please, when will IGBOS APOLOGIZE TO THE MID-WESTERNERS? What about the ethnic groups in which their leaders were killed? When will Igbos apologize to the dead expectant father and his 8-month-old pregnant wife?

**pass the doobie** you are sounding like a man in his period!

Indeed this 'clown' wants to die with bloods in his hands and conscience. Has he forgotten there was an Aburi Accord which he flagrantly violated? Has he forgotten Ojukwu never wanted secession in the first place? Has he forgotten that the FG committed a collossal human rights violations against the Igbos? What about Ojukwu's repeated pleads regarding the pogrom in the North, did he do anything? This man is a lost soul, with no conscience

I really loved to be Enoch, he lived a fulfilled life that pleases God, so pleasing that GOD took him away from a sinful world (Gen5:22-24) and even gave him word of prophecy (Jude 14)!

@slimyem pls if u want us to relate I am afraid the involvement of that grandson of Chief S.L Akintola (Dayokanu) may scuttle that.I don't fraternize with haters (read his posts) he is too Yorubacentric for my liking. If u take him too seriously I am out! He is tryin 2 derail this thread. Even if I tell him my tribe 1billion times he is too dead to his bigoted views to believe, avoid him like a plaque!

@slimyem le o ye ii wao u really made my day with that other thread i really enjoy d digs between u and honeric01 se we da je lokili pe, sure I understood what u wrote (u can call my fone to verify). Doubters? please slimyem don't go there, i owe those bigots no explanation in case u dont know Dayokanu is a scammer, very soon he can even say u are me. U are very cute and funny, why not attempt a novel, I am proud of you Ondo,Idanre (my mom's place) and ile oluji av almost d same dialect.

naturalwaves: Okay....I hardly visit sections too. Sometimes, I just operate on the front page, it all depends on my mood. This your thread has turned from a supposed one line answer/ reply to stories, no thanks to Dayokanu and co.

It's a pity some of us still retain tribalistic notions for our fellow compatriots in a modern Nigeria, as for that guy for now he is my town crier! I am really enjoying him he is really 'tomakintphobic'! But the guy strong oo, doggin me around

naturalwaves: Really? I've not been seeing you for a while too.Where have U been?

I have not been too frequent at the music section for sometimes but pays constant visits to the politics, romance, culture, sectarian politics sections.So, I have been around for a while now. I once read ur comment on the Mimiko's election sometimes, takia bro!
