Yanks101:
Peace is a concept that gives evidence to low crimes rates, stability and decent governance e.t.c.
That is how the rest of the world measure peace. And the SW as we know has one of the highest crimes rates in the country rivalling the north-east, so i don't know what peace you guys are talking about.
Or maybe, the Nigerian definition of peace is docility, care-free attitude to life and owambeism. Then yes, maybe the SW is the most ''peaceful''.

tundejoseph4:
I notice that Igbos and Hausas hated themselves with passion, infact they kill one another conveniently. But in the case of yorubas they both respect us. why this?

Who told you ?

goldcareer:
Most wailers in this forum taught Osho under performed... That na big lie. Osho did his possible best for Edo pple. Human can never be satisfied.

He is 101% correct abt Ngozi Iweala... U will c that she collect her cut frm every dim book she sign... PDP Share the money

Wailers CONTINUE

Oga I was in edo state ...how is Benin , how is egor, how is uselu spare parts ,how is oliha inside via ekenwan

thundafire:
so is dis y ur OSHOBABA cannot build new roads in EDO after spending 7 years always blaming opposition in everything,hope ur diarrhoea mawt governor will shw wat he did in edo after 8yrs

Ask him to visit gra in Benin or ekheadolor ..with uselu

Then he will join us wailers

Oshiomole should know that if they calculate the achievements of his ancestors and that of his ...its not even up to 10% of Ngozi achievement

To be honest ..she is a gem...yes you people might hate him maybe she is Igbo or a woman

The truth must be said...Ngozi did not approve oshiomole application for bonds ...simply that totem of edo has not been accountable for what ever money he has borrowed apart from the new wife and round about called ringroad

I lived in Benin and if I go back little or no different


How did edo peeps cope with this dude
He should go and learn governance from Willie obiano

At this rate, the South East will be under a state of emergency by Christmas.

The reprisal in the north will trigger a reprisal in the SE, that will welcome a military administration by northern generals in the region.

Lets hope nothing happens, and its not too late.

. Honestly speaking God really gave some people brain,bro you write like an angel,your reasoning,sentence construction is too way beyond 70 percent of this country,i pray God to help u not only to write but to put into effect what you have written without fear or favor,thanks tonychris.

...thanks , I used my phone to scrible that . writing is my calling and I am a researcher and analyst . I just said it the way it is . I pray that we reason along that line .

The Blackman has been laughed at and always looked down upon. We have been stereotyped and to make this worst we are not helping the matter. We give them reason to say yes we said it

Why should people resort to killing innocent protesters . I have looked at this but my brain couldn't process this . a group of people said they are not okay association and they are protesting ...you went ahead to kill them .


This has confirmed that the way the Blackman thing or our thought process is always brute and lack systematical approach .

This is why we are still in this quagmire


Thank you for the appreciation

Instead of educating our children, as they do in the West, to be part of the Startup Generation, we follow the lead of darkest Africa, where children are armed with assault rifles and sent out to kill other children.

If the Palestinians really want to pick a fight with Israel, why do they send children to fight a "holy war" instead of fighting it themselves, like men?

The only difference is that the members of ISIS go out themselves to kill; the Palestinians send their young. Why are these not "war crimes"?

We sacrifice our sons and daughters in the name of Allah, as though Allah were a pagan statue with an altar and had to be appeased with the blood of children.

Here, the Islamists want to "liberate" Jerusalem from the infidel Zionist-Crusader occupation. Next, they want to "liberate" occupied Spain, once Muslim Andalusia, and return it to the bosom of Islam. After that, they want to occupy the Vatican and establish the Islamic Emirate on the ruins of Christianity.

Recently, more and more young Palestinian men, women and children have left their homes and gone off to stab Israelis. Palestinian Authority (PA) officials claim our children make this decision independently and that no one sends them to carry out terrorist attacks. But in reality, every Palestinian knows that behind these supposedly "independent," "spontaneous" attacks there is organized, deliberate incitement, some from politicians and some from fatwas [religious opinions] issued by clerics.

One such cleric, Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, sits far away in the safety of Qatar and sends Palestinian children to their deaths. The mosques and schools in the Palestinian Authority and the Gaza Strip, as well as their social media, often unashamedly exploit Palestinian children – perhaps emotionally a bit lost, and who long for admiration for a grand, "heroic act" in a grand romantic "cause."

Tragically, as Israeli forces often do not let such attackers get away, many murders these children commit also end up as needless "passive" suicides.

Our perverted leaders do not only encourage young Palestinians to commit murder. When these children are killed in the act of committing murder, both the PA and Hamas claim that that Israelis "executed" them. They then call our kids martyrs (shuhadaa), glorify them and turn them into role models for other loser kids. Then they pay their families enormous bonuses.

They send minors to do their dirty work, while knowing full well they will likely be killed by the Israeli security forces. How can we justify this to ourselves? What have we allowed to happen to the good minds that Allah gave us? Whatever happened to our sense of morality?

It is agonizing to see how these youngsters are turned into bargain basement castoffs. It is child sacrifice by a cynical Palestinian leadership that fosters a dark culture of murder and death.

“The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County” was his first popular story, written in 1865 while he was in San Francisco. In 1866, as a reporter for the Sacramento Union, he travel to the Sandwich Islands (present-day Hawaii). In 1867, a newspaper funded his voyage to the Mediterranean, which he recorded in his book, “Innocents Abroad,” 1869.

While on this trip, he saw the picture of his friend’s sister, Olivia Langdon of Elmira, New York, and he fell in love. Immediately upon his return, he met and married Olivia. His name was Samuel Langhorne Clemens, better known as Mark Twain, born Nov. 30, 1835.

In “Innocents Abroad,” 1869, which established his reputation as a writer, Mark Twain described Syria under the Ottoman Turkish Empire: “Then we called at the tomb of Mahomet’s children and at … the mausoleum of the five thousand Christians who were massacred in Damascus in 1861 by the Turks. They say those narrow streets ran blood for several days, and that men, women and children were butchered indiscriminately and left to rot by hundreds all through the Christian quarter; they say, further, that the stench was dreadful. All the Christians who could get away fled from the city, and the Mohammedans would not defile their hands by burying the ‘infidel dogs.’ The thirst for blood extended to the high lands of Hermon and Anti-Lebanon, and in a short time twenty-five thousand more Christians were massacred and their possessions laid waste. …”

Mark Twain added: “How they hate a Christian in Damascus! – and pretty much all over Turkeydom as well. And how they will pay for it when Russia turns her guns upon them again! It is soothing to the heart to abuse England and France for interposing to save the Ottoman Empire from the destruction it has so richly deserved for a thousand years. …”

Mark Twain continued: “It hurts my vanity to see these pagans refuse to eat of food that has been cooked for us; or to eat from a dish we have eaten from; or to drink from a goatskin which we have polluted with our Christian lips, except by filtering the water through a rag which they put over the mouth of it or through a sponge! … These degraded Turks and Arabs. … When Russia is ready to war with them again, I hope England and France will not find it good breeding or good judgment to interfere. …”

Mark Twain wrote in “Innocents Abroad,” chapter XLII: “If ever an oppressed race existed, it is this one we see fettered around us under the inhuman tyranny of the Ottoman Empire. I wish Europe would let Russia annihilate Turkey a little – not much, but enough to make it difficult to find the place again without a divining-rod or a diving-bell.”

Mark Twain wrote in “Innocents Abroad,” chapter LVI: “Palestine sits in sackcloth and ashes. Over it broods the spell of a curse that has withered its fields and fettered its energies … about whose borders nothing grows but weeds, and scattering tufts of cane, and that treacherous fruit that promises refreshment to parching lips, but turns to ashes at the touch. … Palestine is desolate and unlovely. …”

In “Innocents Abroad,” chapter LIII, Mark Twain described the condition of Jerusalem under Ottoman Muslim rule: “Rags, wretchedness, poverty and dirt, those signs and symbols that indicate the presence of Moslem rule more surely than the crescent-flag itself, abound. … Jerusalem is mournful, and dreary, and lifeless. I would not desire to live here. … The Moslems watch the Golden Gate with a jealous eye, and an anxious one, for they have an honored tradition that when it falls, Islamism will fall and with it the Ottoman Empire. It did not grieve me any to notice that the old gate was getting a little shaky.”

Mark Twain wrote in “Innocents Abroad,” chapter LVI: “Renowned Jerusalem itself, the stateliest name in history, has lost all its ancient grandeur … the wonderful temple which was the pride and the glory of Israel, is gone, and the Ottoman crescent is lifted above the spot where, on that most memorable day in the annals of the world, they reared the Holy Cross.”

In chapter XLVII of “Innocents Abroad,” 1869, Mark Twain described the land of Israel: “We dismounted on those shores which the feet of the Saviour had made holy ground. … We left Capernaum behind us. It was only a shapeless ruin. It bore no semblance to a town. But, all desolate and unpeopled as it was, it was illustrious ground. From it sprang that tree of Christianity whose broad arms overshadow so many distant lands today. Christ visited his old home at Nazareth, and saw His brothers Joses, Judas, James, and Simon. … Who wonders what passed in their minds when they saw this brother (who was only a brother to them, however He might be to others a mysterious stranger; who was a God, and had stood face to face with God above the clouds) doing miracles, with crowds of astonished people for witnesses? …

“One of the most astonishing things that has yet fallen under our observation is the exceedingly small portion of the earth from which sprang the new flourishing plant of Christianity. The longest journey our Saviour ever performed was from here to Jerusalem – about one hundred to one hundred and twenty miles. … Leaving out two or three short journeys, He spent His life, preaching His Gospel, and performing His miracles, within a compass no larger than an ordinary county of the United States. …”

Of the Bible, Mark Twain wrote in “Innocents Abroad,” 1869: “It is hard to make a choice of the most beautiful passage in a book which is so gemmed with beautiful passages as the Bible; but it is certain that not many things within its lids may take rank above the exquisite story of Joseph. Who taught those ancient writers their simplicity of language, their felicity of expression, their pathos, and above all, their faculty of sinking themselves entirely out of sight of the reader and making the narrative stand out alone and seem to tell itself? Shakespeare is always present when one reads his book; Macaulay is present when we follow the march of his stately sentences; but the Old Testament writers are hidden from view.”

Mark Twain wrote in “Innocents Abroad,” 1869: “In the starlight, Galilee has no boundaries but the broad compass of the heavens, and is a theatre meet for great events; meet for the birth of a religion able to save the world.”

coming from Anambra, I thank Lord

This protest is scheduled for December 12 at a mosque in Richardson, Texas. The organization received criticism last week for reveling the names and addresses of Muslims and others who opposed the city of Irving’s support of a Texas legislature bill to ban Sharia law from Texas courts.

The Bureau of Islamic-American Relations (BAIR) announced the December 12 protest early Tuesday morning on its Facebook page. David Wright III founded the group and also posts about the Irving mosque on his Facebook page.

BAIR hosted a group of armed protesters who stood outside of the Irving mosque on November 21. Dozens of people openly carried rifles. At least one person appeared to also be openly carrying a pistol, which is still illegal in Texas, in most cases, until the new law goes into effect next month. A few days after the meeting, Wright published the names and addresses of Muslims and supporters who spoke at a March 19 city council meeting in Irving.

In calling for the second protest in Richardson, BAIR posted, “We do not pick mosques at random.” The group claims the Richardson mosque has a “documented history” of taking in Syrian refugees and working with “terrorist front groups like CAIR (Council on American Islamic Relations).”

“They are Sunni Muslims that have taken over the entire neighborhood and even renamed streets after the Islamic culture,” Wright posted on the event page. “Do I need to say anymore?”

Wright appears to be drawing scrutiny for his actions — particularly for releasing list of names and addresses last week. Talking Points Memo reported that Write posted on his Facebook page, “I am being attacked and smeared by the liberal media for legally exercising my 1st and 2nd Amendment rights and for using public data to defend my credibility when they make accusations against me.” The comments are no longer on his page.

Lionsclaw:
In their shoes I wont take a proud photo cos there is nothing cool about the killing. Yes they had to kill for lack of tranquilizer but posing to a camera is stupid. Got it.. ?

Even if they have to shoot with life bullets can't they aim the legs

A runaway nun always talk I'll of the monastery

Monuments and pictures like this ...I feel too ashamed to be labeled a Nigeria.


What happened to darts and tranquilers. Must Blackman show his beastly nature

Honestly1:
This men should cover their faces in shame. They took pictures with the a dead lion that should have been tranquilzed and kept back in its cage.

Shame on Nigeria

Millerz:
you people are just plain funny. you want your own countey , you want to rule over yourself but you want to drag others along. why? Biafra starts and ends in the SE.

the seaport you plan to dredge, how do you link it to the sea? isn't it going to encompass Nigerian soil since you have no access to the sea?? I hope you know that if and when Biafra comes, the Nigerian govt has the right to refuse you dredging their lands in other to gain access to the sea.

Biafra is an Igbo project and from the last time I checked igbos are not only in south east


If others want to join pls they should be referendum


What others are been dragged if I may ask

This is the best you can do

shachris02:
[s][/s]

Trash. As always.

your correct but what the igbo is insisting is a country of their own ..is that complicated?

shachris02:
lol. tony, do you think this low? Igbos destiny have always being in their hands since adam. Same allocation that is given to Northern and western governors to use and develop their state is the same that is given to the igbo nations. Same akwa ibom that as a local village before akpabio, despite receiving the highest allocation, was what akpabio transformed to a city. It didn't take Biafra for him to achieve that....Nigeria didn't stop him from developing his state. Nobody is afraid of letting biafrans go....what i am saying is that you should not drag we igbos into your fairy edorado. simple.

shachris02:
what political post in Nigeria has the igbos not gotten since after independence? Please do tell so i can fully grasp this your analogy....cos as i am looking at it....e get as e be.

You still dont get it....The igbo said they want to govern their own space without interference and have thier destinies in their OWN hands.


why is this difficult for people to process?


why are Nigerians afriad to let IGBO go?

just wondering, are they this special ?

You have refused to differentiate economic and physical freedom to political freedom.


Cant you people get some basic facts striaght


IGBO ARE SAYING THEY WANT TO HAVE THEIR OWN COUNTRY AND CHART THEIR OWN COURSE AND HAVE CHARGE OVER THEIR DESTINY NOT BEEN YOKED FROM ABUJA



that is what they want...cows moves, butterfly fies around, goats roam around and snakes crwal around...these are also freedom



THIS IS NOT WHAT IGBO WANT. THEY WANT THEIR DESTINIES IN THEIR OWN HAND NOT FROM ONE DUDE SITTING IN ABUJA. THE IGBO WANT TO BUILD THEIR INTERNATIONAL AIRPORTS BY THEMSELVES NOT RUNNING TO ABUJA TO GET PERMIT TO BUILD EITH AIRPORT OR DREDGE SEA PORT.


I do not know if you get the anology

shachris02:
you are already on your own. No one is caging you in Nigeria. Igbos can go anywhere they want to go, live anywhere they want to live and do business in any sector they want. Infact, no Nigerian tribe is as travelled and integrated in Nigeria as the Igbos. Tell me, what can be more free than that?

shachris02:
Even those that are protesting know that what they are doing is wrong. Most of them have not really given this biafran thing a thouhgh....just caught in the moment and the wise igbos be like 'yes biafra' while the touts go on to get injured. To the average igboman, if biafra comes, fines, if it doesn't, fine. We all know that it wouldn't change anything.

what is wrong in protest, what is wrong wantinmg to stay on your own, what is wrong trying to rule and manage your destiny....if to you it is wrong, to me I see it as noble

Isreal despite being surrounded by very hostile enemies is still the most advance in technology,military and economy. Isreal is one of the most tiniest countries in Middle east. I see very little difference isreal/jews and Igboland/igbos
