Why is it taking this long to put the man in the ground. Naija and time wasting.

What is the actual Milage on this RAV4?

Must They Go With A Photographer To The Motherless Babies Home? You Went For Charity Work, And You Are still Showing The Whole World.
Matthew 6:1-4
6 “Be careful not to practice your
righteousness in front of others to be seen
by them. If you do, you will have no reward
from your Father in heaven.
2 “So when you give to the needy, do not
announce it with trumpets, as the
hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.
3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
4 so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

Don't mind them o! Why announce to the whole world. Besides, donate good and nutritious food, not junk food(Noodles, laden with MSg).

What he failed to do when he had the opportuniy-----Stupid fisherman and a fishmonger.
His title should be:
Ode omo of Bayelsa
Omo toyi Ogbon of Otueke

Looser!

Very Funny!

DerideGull: Mr. chucks,

Did I not warn you about falling into certain cracks intellectually? It is good you mentioned many historically black 4 year colleges were non competitive 4 year colleges. You have the liberty to stereotype because it is human to do so. Surely funding matters but it is not all that matters in formal education. If you embark on exploratory research, you would have been surprised that the products of those “historically black 4 year colleges” end up as tenured professors at some of the Ivy League schools such as Harvard.

Dededull:
Well said my boy. keep it up.

Cruel and unusual purnishment.

Kobojunkie:
Am I the only one who feels this man should SHUT UP already!

Yep! Take your own advice and shut the Flip up.

High_Chief:
Trust me, Gowon has a reserved presidential suite in hell already. The likes of Awo are next door to him

Lord, be on the look-out for a peanut shaped head-Barry White looking mofo, named Oju-iku. Don't let that good for nothing skunk in, he does not
belong in heaven. Send him to purgatory.

This happened in the federal capital territory - Abuja. The fire service actually came to put the fire off, even though they came terribly late, when all damage has been done and completed by the inferno. [b]but don't you think that even the courts will require an official doc from the fire service?[/b]

The official doc is called Incident report and is required for insurance purposes etc. This should be free.

All the stories about the war apart, who brought tribalism to Nigeria politics?

How many of us know about carpet crossing? my question for the Yorubas is, what did Awolowo tell the Yorubas that cross-carpeted from NCNC to AG. That marked the birth of Tribalism in Nigeria politrics.

Before that Eyo Ita A Calabar as we Igbos call them is the HEAD of NCNC in the East, An Hausa was a mayor of Enugu. It took Awolowo's instigated cross carpeting in Lagos, to stop Zik from being the first Premier of Western Region. This forced Zik to come back to East and displace Eyo Ita as the leader of NCNC in the East. That was the origin of the Problem between the Igbos and our Calabar brothers.

Of course that was the birth of the mutual suspicion between the Igbos and Yorubas. That would be the only reason while Zik would prefer joining the NPC and not Awo to form a government after our Independence. I also suspect the British must have encouraged Zik also to join the North.

Also, today we are all shouting true Federalism. Was Awolowo not responsible for destroying Nigeria Federalism? He was the only Experienced politician in Gowon's cabinet when they turned our Federal constitution up-side-down. Before the war, funds were shared purely on derivation. The regions have 60% while 40% goes to the center. The collection of the funds were the responsibility of the regional government. During and after the war, they gave the whole funds to the Federal government. They gave the collection to the Federal government. Awolowo was like a father in that cabinet. He was in the midst of young men most of whom look up to him. Yet he allowed all these abnormalities.

Today, the Awoist are more in demand for a true federalism and principle of derivation to be brought back to our constitution. The very principle that Awolowo helped to destroy. Who can explain these to me.

Sorry, I am not holding only Awolowo to account. After a study of Nigeria political past, the only man I can excuse for being a "good but ignorant fool" is Tafawa Belewa. Zik cannot come too clean, just like Awolowo. Ojukwu has his own manipulations. Sauduna, though worked for his people helped in dividing the country more.

To me, we do not have any past hero. These people laid the foundation for the hell of a country we are in today. Forget it they were all mostly driven for the lure of power. We can do better as youths to avoid their bad ways.

The only hero we would have had was Nzeogwu but like all progressives, he under-estimated the powers of the evil men around him. I personally hold Ojukwu responsible for his death. Not only is there a great suspicion that he was killed by Biafran soldiers, Ojukwu refused to assign a command to him out of fear. Nzeogwu as a hero he is chose to operate a one man show - going up the Nsukka axis of the war to fight alone until he was killed. I have people that told me personal accounts of how he operated during the war. Still shed tears when I read or hear about him.

If only Nigeria youth can appreciate this fallen hero the way American black celebrate Malcom X. Nzeogwu was more like our Malcom X.

Side talk: It is nice I just find out I shared same birthday with the Yoruba sage. It will be good if I can whare his intelligence but not as selfish.

Are you done with the BS or Soliloquy? In what way was Awolowo selfish?

Lower the Flag my a-se. When Hell freezes over.

ndu_chucks:
I completely agree with the above post.

@violent, there are too many holes in your last post. For now, I'll simply agree to disagree with your position.

For the information of readers, let me state here that many years ago, I attended a friend's naturalization ceremony in the USA wherein, passports of the old countries of participants were collected after the said oath was taken - food for thought.

That is a big fat lie!!! US Govt. do no take you passport but your green card.

South.East:
Who are Awo's friends in the North and East? Simple question (for a history ignoramus like me )
Shagari was never Zik's friend; they were never mates, even. Zik dined with Sardauna and Tafawa and hundred of great Yorubas. Shagari was a newbie then.

The reason he was label a Harlot. Duuuuh.

It is a case of incurable madness that anyone will conjure the idea of questioning the personal achievement of Dr. Nnmadi Azikiwe. I guess Nigeria is a celebrated jungle which provides habitat for certain mor.ons that had the effrontery to doubt the achievement of Great Zik of Africa.

If achievement is free education which every rat can provide to fellow rats on philanthropic bases through the coffers of a regional government, I detest and dismiss it with a wave of the hand.

Zik stood head and shoulder above his peers when [b[b]]personal achievement[/b][/b] viewed from goods and services rendered to the people of West Africa in general and Nigeria in particular. .

List the achievements(both personal and collective) or shut your trap.

Southerners always call for the division of this country when
northern Moslems on rampage targetting Christians go on their routine killing spree.

The question all southern Christians need to ask is what happens to non-Moslems in
northern Nigeria.

In case you don't know, most states in the north have Christain majority but are less
visible in the power structure of their states. For example, Adamawa and Taraba have
more Christians than Moslems but past military govts ensured only the Moslems are
represented in the top hierarchy of state and federal civil service.

Same military ensured that Moslems in these states were favoured in recruitment and posting
into the army and the security agencies.

Borno State and Yobe have a huge Christian population who are marginalised including Kebbi, katsina,
and even Kano state.

Plateau, Benue, Bauchi and Gombe are clearly Christian states even though the last two and Kogi have
been governened by Moslems since creation or commencement of democracy in 1999.

[b]The question to southern Christians is how will you feel dumping brethen in the midst of wolves who have
the wherewithal and the desire to kill all of them?[/b]

They will become (CD) Collateral Damage. It is a common phenomenon in Modern era conflicts.

That was hilarious and as usual the humorless ibos ain't laughing.

YES!!! I am getting paid on Friday and party like is 1999!!! LOL

EzeUche_:
Yes, it should be based on ethnicity. Not region. . .

How can Igbos be made a minority, when there are over 25 million Igbo souls?

They act as if we are only 5 million!

Whatever happen to the 45 million Igbos souls? I guess the law of diminishing returns is biting. Just like the annual
migration of the willow beast of the Serengeti plains. third of their population are lost to the lions(Yoruba's) LOL

Ngodigha:
Don't be insultive poor boy.

Sharrap block head.

bashr4:
at the end of the day rascality pays ,[b]the gentleman nature of ndigbo [/b]only made us losers in this animal jungle called nigeria.

Haven't you heard? Gentleman is another name giving to a fool. Lol

@POST

Yes, you can not be more correct as Awo days are back in SW. Nigerians wished SW and ACN the same political faith that befell western region of Nigeria under Action Group which earned the region the appellation “Wild Wild West.”

Abeg Papa Nkechi go sidon. Everyone on NL know say your middle name be "killjoy".

Rest in Peace!!! You will surely be missed.

I don't give a rat ass where the guy is from, his good.

sunny-bobo:
I guess your mum must be cursing the day she was violated by that armed robber which led to your conception. Attempted abortion finally led to your semi imbecilic state.

Is that all you got? You cannot debate the topic and your natural defense mechanism kicked in hence the insult. You
are a true son of your father.
