Bros Mi!! I de hail oº°˚! Well done for work!

Nwaoma Ndewo! Odikwa mma?

@PointB, i 'm in support of 9ja i hail suggestion that the nomination process should be extended, at least till next week Saturday. This will allow other people who hasn't seen or come across this thread to make their nomination, cuz i think a lot of our folks aren't aware that this election is about to take place. Considering that the thread itself is yet to hit the front page.

ogugua88:

Lol, it was in Igbo and, unfortunately, I'm not yet fluent.

@Ogugua88, if i may ask are you Igbo? If yes, what part are you from?

@pointB, when is the election taking place? We gotta move forward now, having gotten Okija's case sorted out.

Luul: ^ Its obvious the people on this site are very strange.
I clicked on your username assuming you were somali.
since you mention the name Ali.

Any way i have to go to Masjid. Salam.

Waraya! Stop being cynical, i think you are same person as Ayanle, Somali 1- to whatever numbers you have.

You cover has been blown by Kails, you can't just hide under different user.

Go and create another user name and make sure you don't out yourself this time around.

Luul: why is this chick talking about me?

you need to hobb off like i said. I came here to relax.
If you must know am in the U.K.

If you are new here as you claim, how come you knew "kails" is a Chick, and not a dude 'cuz she didn't indacate if she is male or female on her handle. #justasking

Having read Okija's speech in which he showed remorse concerning some of his past utterances, i think he should be forgiven. He has also opted not to take any further part in the electoral process, so i think we can move ahead now with rest of the proceeding.

If my dad had named me Tagg I'd want to swing at people too.

Benito69: More women were employed when Romney was a governor...
Obama meanwhile not only under-pays his female staff, but the number of female staff is below par for someone touting his caring for women.

Any data to back this your ludicrous claim?

Willard "The Trojan Horse" Romney Family isn't used to anyone standing up to his Fathers lies..Tagg the son with a golden spoon....

ekt_bear:

Wait a sec...i thought you are from the western side of southern nigeria

My parents are from both Igbo and Yoruba extract, and i've always stood for the cause of the "Ndi Igbo" both on Nl and wherever i found myself.

So i think i'm more than qualify to nominate my candidate of choice.

In anyway, PiontB as the electoral Chairman/organizer has a final say on this, if my nomination stand or not.

Igbo kwenu! Igbo kwezenu!!

I hereby nominate Odumchi Dede1

Bottom line, Mitt is condescending to women and he would rather hire them instead of men because he can pay them more cheaply. He made it look like it was almost impossible to find qualified women so he had to look and look. Women should run the other way from Mitt as fast as they can. They cannot afford to be fooled.

Mitt Romney’s already infamous, infelicitous phrase at Tuesday night’s debate—“binders full of women”—gave the GOP challenger a true Norma Rae moment. You see, when he was governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Romney, as he explained when questioned about wage inequality, learned a lot about the bum deal women get in this life.

“I had the chance to pull together a cabinet, and all the applicants seemed to be men,” he elaborated. “I went to my staff, and I said, ‘How come all the people for these jobs are all men?' They said, ‘Well, these are the people that have the qualifications.’”

Feminist avenger Romney apparently didn’t like that answer so, he continued, he started a one-man ladies’ affirmative-action program. He went to his minions and said, “‘Gosh, can't we find some women that are also qualified?’ And so we took a concerted effort to go out and find women who had backgrounds that could be qualified to become members of our cabinet. I went to a number of women's groups and said, ‘Can you help us find folks?’ and they brought us whole binders full of women.”

The remark did not accomplish what he’d hoped. In fact, it tipped the hand of Romney’s women panic so thoroughly that it’s likely his court-the-undecided-females’ game is now thrown.

Plus, it misses the mark of normalcy so absolutely that he comes off as comical. No wonder it became a meme on Twitter and other social media sites.

Just in case the humor seems opaque, let me offer a binder full of analysis.

First, his answer to a question about the grave subject of wage inequality flaunts his gender bias: In his anecdote, Romney ostentatiously refuses to consider qualified applicants just because they’re men.

Second, Romney in this instance was hiring for positions largely about optics: He wanted women in his cabinet so he could say he had women in his cabinet. He recruited women to be women—not cabinet members.

Third, the binders response raises the specter of a still more hideous idea. Before answering the question, Romney had been reminded that women earn about 72 percent what their male counterparts do—and his response was to say, “Exactly! That’s why, given half a chance, I hire women!” Bottom line, Romney recruits women because they look good and they come cheap.



The remark has done more than alienate women, for whom—as all recent data confirms—no one needs to do any special favors. For years, and to the despair of mothers of sons, females have been far more educated and better qualified than male applicants for almost anything. They also get jobs easily and don’t need someone searching high and low for binders of resumes. They just need to get paid fairly for what they do.

Lastly, Romney’s remark exposed something on flagrant display all night. It’s that he’s a boss—and only a boss. He sees everything from the throne of a massive realm: Massachusetts, Bain Capital, and the many businesses he’s “had the privilege of staffing,” or however he puts it.

In yet another riff, one which might be more telling about Romney’s persona if less hilarious than the binder comment—and given in response to the question, “What plans do you have to put back and keep jobs here” in the U.S.—Romney said half-a-million manufacturing jobs had been lost in the last four years. “One of the reasons … is that people think it's more attractive, in some cases, to go offshore than to stay here. We have made it less attractive for enterprises to stay here than to go offshore from time to time.”

People think it’s more attractive to go offshore? I don’t know about you, but I’ve never met a single person—no Joe Neighbor or Sally Gastroenterologist—who says, “I’m going offshore, where it’s more attractive.”

Who goes “offshore,” then? Enterprises do. Corporations. The same entities that, in his heart, Romney still believes are people. When Romney speaks of turning every American into a small-business king, it’s his way of rhetorically transforming American citizens, who baffle him, into American businesses, which he understands.

This is too bad. Romney is never going to make a connection with ordinary people—women or men—as long as he sees corporations as people, and people as the pitiful 47 percent of us who drag down that corporate super race.


Last night, when a college kid asked Romney whether he’d find a job out of college, Romney more or less promised to hire him. That’s the Romney solution. At the same time, Romney refuses to admit that this time around he’s the job seeker. The American people may not have a binder full of women at the moment, but we have a binder with two resumés in it. And, as we do every four years, we get to decide who gets hired.

Culled from yahoo news.

Cyberg, give it up already! Will you? Don't let ur hate for the Igbo's consume you.

Ain't you people tired of this back and forth? You guys should give it up already!

Some of you people are so blinded by tribalism. Gosh! And this same tribal bigots are our so called leaders of tomorrow, damn! Nigeria is trouble!

lefulefu: so na Mba be im surname eh?.if i may ask this policeman no be igbo man he be?

Shallow minded ignorant twerp!
Must everything be about trabilism in your dictionary?
Poor sod!

I think we as Americans are forgetting one important item here. The President of the United States has clear powers, but those powers are harnessed by congress and the senate. They can veto or sign bills, but technically it really is not the final say as it can be revisited. No the real issue here, and what we should look at is the administrations they represent. Obama represents a Clinton type administration. Romney represents a Bush type administration. Now, we WILL enter into a depression as that is just the way the economic patterns work. Any of us who work in the financial industry knows that the Federal Reserve Bank was warning us of a depression during Bushes office during his first year that current policies and deregulation would expedite that current prediction. The Federal Reserve board advised the administration not to raise interest rates on the American public, or reduce regulations. The administration ignored that advice and raised interest rates and reduced regulations, thus projecting us into an unsteady market. What Americans don’t know is about the gag order placed on the Federal Reserve keeping them from notifying the general population of investors. However, a licensed investor still has access to the Federal Reserve’s monthly report. All those who do not have this license do not. So, you need to ask yourself, which administration will lessen that effect. Fact: Democrats traditionally like to socialize money, or make it available to more people. Republicans like to focus on placing money in business and corporations for trickle down. Well, both can be affective. Our vote needs to be on which one of these administrations would serve a greater amount of people then the other; and which one would entrench us into a heavier felt depression. Now, my opinion is, both administrations are going to spend money. This country is not at a point to reduce any deficit yet. So, when they borrow more money where do you want that to go? I say, to as many people as possible. Historically, when money is given to business during economic times of hardship they hold onto it to ride the tough times through. So, for me it would appear more logical to place that 5 trillion that either administration is going to use one way or the other and give it to programs that will directly impact the majority. Or plainly put, into your hands.

Watch out ladies or you will end up in Mitt's binder.

Best moment: Romney getting fact-checked by Candy in front of millions. Priceless.




Romney in public (when the camera is rolling) cares about 100% of the American people. Romney behind closed door (no cameras or media) cares only about 53% of Americans.

So Day 1 is gonna be big for Mitt. He'll repeal Obamacare that day, he'll start a huge trade war with China that day (which btw will result in closing of thousands of businesses exporting to China), he'll repeal Obama's laws against Wall Street that day, and biggest of them all he'll order 'Binders full of Women' for his administration. The guy doesn't even have a clue of difference between Equal Pay for Equal Work and Affirmative Action. And he wants to be the President....LMAO..

President Obama handle this debate with class and intelligence. He was knowledgeable and factual. Governor Romney danced around the questions and constantly tried to personally attack the President. I feel that he was not very Presidential, did NOT follow directions and came off as RUDE and Arrogant. This is not what the American people need. Worried about the economy on top of someone Offending another Nation is a death trap for Americans and Gov. Romney is NOT the one to Represent US as President.

Damn it!!
Nigerians are the most tribalistic, ethnocentric, bigoted people in the whole world. Is it primordial or something...
It's a pathetic waste of intellect when bigotry overrides common sense.

shymexx:

But did Yoruba people take part in the pogroms??

That's between you guys and those who committed the pogroms...

And who are those that committed the pogroms?

torkaka: ONE SINGLE WOMAN IS NOW A MAJOR THREAT TO THE WHOLE IGBO _{ABI NA BIAFRA} ETHNIC GROUP
IF YOU CAN'T FIGHT ONE WOMAN HOW DID YOU THINK YOU CAN SECEDE FROM NIGERIA??

Your obsession for anything Igbo is palpable through my computer screen.
Ur bigotry is sleeping out. U should be more careful. Maybe taking your head out of your a.nal orifice would help.

Industrial scale indeed! And who says Nigeria isn't the kiddnapping capital of the world. If we haven't attain the title, we are getting there for sure. May God help us!

Oops. Romney's gaffe issues are apparently contagious.

Painful way to die~

BY ACHIBUIKE

..."thieves, thieves" he screamed,
it was almost funny; not until
more voices joined the chorus as
they screamed and shouted on us.
We could have ran at least to
save our lives, but little did we
know how the day would end.
From a handful of young men
shouting and throwing questions
at us, it escalated to a crowd of
angry mob. There was no way we
could escape this one, so we
calmed down. They pushed us
around and then stripped us all.
These men pulled us pants down,
we were more than embarrassed,
the whole community watched: I
recognised few faces from the
crowd. Obviously they were so
afraid to say "stop", then the
beating started, I wished it to be
just a nightmare; but it was real,
these men were determined. They
dropped heavy rocks on our
heads, they pounded our faces
with large planks, blood covered
our eyes,they matched and kicked
us right on our nostrils, we
couldn't breathe. "Bring tire" one
of the men repeated, until they
brought the tires. "Oh God!" We
watched the crowd watch us, we
raised hands of plea, we couldn't
speak, Some hid, some shot videos
and took pictures. there was no
one to stop this. This was the
point we knew it was over. We
felt pain, helpless and hopeless. I
thought of my siblings, I
wondered how my mum would take
this. She would fall apart. I
begged God to hold her for me,
comfort and make her strong for
me, I prayed same for my friends.
Then we started crying, we cried
together. the tears gave us
headaches. We looked up high,
the sky was still. Rings of tires
landed on our necks, they kept
hitting us, but we were numb
already. They set us ablaze. We
rolled around, tried to reach for
each other, I wondered who would
give up first, the fire burned our
bodies. it hurt, it hurt and then it
hurt. But suddenly the pain
stopped, Then I couldn't hear any
other thing, but silence. I
thanked God. The pain was over.
RIP
Ugonna, Llyod, Tekana and
Chidiaka.

In today's world of FB, BB and the other social media platform, it's so easy for girls of today to get laid before you say Jack. They want their house rent paid by Aristos, they get laid. They wanna buy the latest BB, they get laid. Brazilian hair nko, they get laid. The list of the things they get laid for is endless. They only desire for wealth and material possessions with little interest for ethical or spiritual matters.(materialism)

If the figure you said (15) is anything to go by, then you got nothing on some other girls i mentioned above, they just will not admitted it.

Hey! You gotta slow down now and turn your life around now, it's never late my dear. Unless other wise you are suffering from nyphomania disease, then you know you need a sex therapy.
