Firstly, I must say happy New year to you all as we step into 2010 with pride as one Nigeria.

Secondly, the likes of SEFAGO and Vollo57 are actually fools; I wonder if at all they went to school before they embark on their purported Credit card Scam they learnt in Lagos.
Do you know how many people and non Nigerians that could be going through this? That shows exactly how this Nation in run, on tribalism likes your founders and fathers.
Academically, can you stand where an Igbo stood? Check National competitions and examination, do your people perform more than the Igbos?
Is high time we should look at our self as one no matter where you are from as long as you are born in that place, you are from there.

Come to think of it, what do you have in the west than Oluwole? How many of your rural communities are decent to look at, you don’t go home because you don’t have any. That is why your likes are running the nation as they like. I am from South-South and I am proud to be from Igbo extraction because they are fearless not a fear, fear man like you and an oh yes member (sit down they look) do you think the North like you better; they have already known you are a Chameleon. The whole of the South-South including two to three state in the South East has an oil well, (tell me how many oil well the west has and how many state has oil?) Instead of you to bring up meaningful discussions that would lift Nigeria, you are here talking nonsense. I know the likes of you (DEY WASH OYIBO MAN TOILET AND DEY WASH EM WIFE YASH WEY GET STROKE, UNA DEY ALSO WASH DEAD BODY FOR THERE slowpoke LIKE YOU)

Because they don teach you how to use internet, you get for your village? FOOL.

If I catch you here they talk this nonsense, I go make sure say you no log on here again ANIMAL….

Nice try. You want to know my age? Keep on quessing. I am not and will never be Igbo hater. A great number of my friends are Igbo. From my
primary school days in Nigeria to my Uni. in Maryland and North Carolina. We are still friends till today. Once again, no hatrad on my part towards
my Igbo brothers and sisters. But I can't stand your ilk. The Oloriburukus and oloshis.

You must think War is solution to everything? Let me re iterate. U are vision less, powerless and mere noise maker. Ppl are busy positioning, forming
alliances. U and your ilk are busy making noise on the internet. Nna bros. continue. My "Jamrock" brother have a saying " An army of Lion led by
a Sheep will always be defeated by an army Sheep led by a Lion". Enough said. Peace Bro.

Keep on dreaming(70%) one day u go wake from your" kai kai" induced stupor and realize you are back to square one. Ppl are extorting
money from you and u are powerless to do anything. You people are just powerless, vision less and just plain noise makers. Abeg tell me for
how many years e take una to take over Lagos? 40 yrs? 60 Yrs? carry go. Remmember what happen last time.

Una don comot finish from your God forsaken land. Why? Erosion na terrible thing. Sorry o. Suffer head. Omo masanfani.

KOBKJ: I've said all I needed to say on this topic. Is late and am getting ready to hit my favourite papersoup joint. Care to join me? I know you don't have anything to do tonite hence your surfing the internet this late.
Peace and Alafia

KOBO: Did i not say people should be compensated? Go over my post very well b/4 asking foolish question. If their property is legal sure but if not, that means they are bleeped. Do you know most properties along that Highway was illegal? Now they want to be compensated. Kobo, tell is your family
house affected? Sorry o!

Kobojunkie:
Easy to consider it SACRIFICE when you are not personally affected here, don't you think? Would you have the same mind if you found yourself about to loose your home and investment?

Yes i would. My grand fathers house was demolished in Lagos( Apongbon Area) to make way for the building of Eko bridge back in the day. People
should be compensated if their property is affected. but everyone should be prepared to sacrifice if need be. Like my Jamaican bros yan " Everybody
wan go Haven, nobody wan die".

" What are few broken heads in building of a nation" We all must sacrifice one way or another to make our state/Nation great.

Ojukwu true Character was revealed in a thought provoking book by Igbo elder Statesman and President general of pan-Igbo Organisation
Chief Raph Uwechue. Your thoughts on this.


Uwechue’s bomb on Biafra
• The making of sensational civil war revelation

Elder statesman and President-General of the pan-Igbo socio-cultural organization, Chief Raph Uwechue, has sensationally revealed, in a book, how ego and quest for absolute control by Chief Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu ruined Biafra.

He said, in the book, Reflections on the Nigerian Civil War – Facing the Future, that Ojukwu adopted a maximum ruler posture, shunned advice as well as believed in his won judgment, factor, which he said, caused the failure of the break away of the Eastern Nigeria.

He said: “By keeping Ojukwu constantly enveloped in an atmosphere of superiority, it made him, as a matter of habit, distrustful and disdainful of other people’s judgment, impatient with their opinions and finally simply authoritarian.”

Uwechue had visited the corporate headquarters of The Sun sometime ago and while fielding questions from a team of senior editors, he spoke about pre-independence Nigeria, the politics after independence, civil war and the country after the war. He had promised to send to The Sun copies of his book: Reflections on the Nigerian Civil War – Facing the Future, a revised and expanded edition of his previous book, Reflection on the Nigerian Civil War – A Call for Realism. The book was reprinted in 2004. True to his promise, the elder statesman sent copies of the book, which turned out to be expository.

Indeed, the 199-page book told the story of the first military coup in the country, the second military coup, the crisis after the second coup, the meetings to forestall a war, the secession of the eastern part of the country and the efforts to end the war. The book also has two epilogues, where the author analysed the fall of Biafra, in the topic: The Genesis of Failure and also there is the examination of government structure, in the topic: An Elastic Federal Union.

Reading Chief Uwechue’s book, we found The Genesis of Failure very interesting and, therefore, decided to reproduce it. The chapter talked about the things, in the author’s opinion, caused the failure of the Biafra Republic. He pointedly laid the blamed on Chief Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, who led Biafra. He said that Ojukwu lacked tact, never took advice, suffered what could pass for inferiority complex and was power drunk. In the opening paragraph of that chapter, Uwechue said: “It is a sad but instructive irony that Lt. Col Odumegwu Ojukwu, one of Africa’s one-time most brilliant political promises, was the man that led his own people with such a lack of ingenuity into what was clearly a foreseeable disaster.” He said that the personality of Ojukwu robbed off negatively on Biafra, adding: “It can be said for the Nigerian Civil War that the personality of Odumegwu Ojukwu more than any other single factor determined much of the course and certainly the character of the end of the Biafran adventure.”

The elder statesman said, in the book, that Ojukwu was ambitious and, therefore, paid attention only to the “politics of the war” instead of the security of the people he led. He said that owing to Ojukwu’s interest, two wars were fought with the territory of Biafra then: “The first was for the survival of the Ibos as a race. The second was for the survival of Ojukwu’s leadership.” He said that Ojukwu was more interested in the survival of his leadership at that time, which, he said: “Proved fatal for the Ibos” during the war.

The Ohanaeze chieftain said that if Ojukwu were smart enough to understand the politics of alliances in the country, Biafra could have survived. According to him, there was an opportunity for Ojukwu to align with the Western Region then, but he did not see the necessity for that. He said that this opportunity came when the late Chief Obafemi Awolowo was released from prison by General Yakubu Gowon and he declared: If “the Eastern Region was pushed out of the federation, Western Nigeria would quit the federation as well.” According to him, Ojukwu should have taken that declaration as a cue and wooed the Western Region.

Uwechue said that another opportunity also came the way of Ojukwu to forge an East-West alliance when Awolowo visited Enugu, as Gowon’s emissary. According to him, what Ojukwu needed was to bring Awolowo to his side, but he did not utilize the opportunity and ended up describing the meeting as “ill-conceived child.”
He had revealed: “When on 7th May 1967 the Yoruba leader (Awolowo) came to Enugu at the head of a reconciliation committee, Ojukwu had a handsome opportunity to play his card. He missed. Dr. Michael Okpara, who still enjoyed popular support in Eastern Nigeria and whose friendship with Chief Awolowo had sustained the UPGA alliances, was not even invited to meet Chief Awolowo. After a hurried reception, Chief Awolowo’s delegation left Eastern Nigeria.”

He said that Gowon, understanding the way alliances worked in the country, had wooed Western Nigeria, first by releasing Awolowo from prison and second, by not only offering him an appointment, but also making him the highest civilian in the government as the vice president of the Federal Executive Council. According to him, by this appointment, there was an “unspoken understanding that Nigeria was his (Awolowo’s) as soon as the war was over and the army withdrew.” He said that this cemented the relation between the Northern Region and Western Region and, therefore, left the east in the lurch.

Uwechue said that within Biafra, Ojukwu alienated talented Igbo, using iron hand to establish his authority. Towards this end, he said that Dr. Okpara, former premier of Eastern Nigeria, was jailed as well as others. “These political figures were to remain out of favour and far from the corridor of power, except for their occasional utility as window dressing, such as posing for photographs with General Ojukwu or flanking him on ceremonial occasions,” he wrote.

He said that the same thing happened in the army, as Ojukwu suppressed officers and, therefore, had a “timid army tamed to unquestionable obedience.”

The elder statesman said that Ojukwu had the opportunity of using the diplomatic front to sell Biafra, but that instead of doing this he shunned advice, especially on the need for compromise. He said that when the war dragged, many eminent Igbo advised Ojukwu to asked for a confederal nation, which would keep Biafra within Nigeria and also give it adequate local autonomy, but this was not only rejected but also those who suggested it were witch-hunted.

He said: “The climax came on 7th of September 1968, just before the OAU summit meeting in Algiers. A number of anxious Ibos, including Dr. Azikiwe, former president of Nigeria, Dr. Michael Okpara, former premier of Eastern Nigeria (Biafra), Dr. K. O. Dike, former rector of Ibadan University and myself made a formal recommendation in which we told General Ojukwu that as Africa was sympathetic to the Ibo cause, but at the same time opposed to secession, he should use the opportunity of the Algiers meeting to seek OAU guarantee for a confederal arrangement, such as was agreed at Aburi (Ghana). General Ojukwu not only rejected this advice outright but also asked some of us to recant or resign. Dr. Azikiwe left Paris in disgust and went to London in voluntary exile. I myself chose to resign.”

Uwechue said that Ojukwu saw himself as a supremo during the war and only trusted his own judgment. In trying to explain why this could have been so, he said: “To this special development of his ego and the feeling of self-sufficiency was added the confidence acquired from an Oxford University milieu and from the fact of his father’s great wealth. Back to Nigeria, Ojukwu soon joined the army, where, as an officer, he got more accustomed to giving orders and receiving prompt obedience than meeting opposition and arguments.” He said that Ojukwu found himself always at the “giving end” rather than at the “receiving end,” adding: “By keeping Ojukwu constantly enveloped in an atmosphere of superiority, it made him, as a matter of habit, distrustful and disdainful of other people’s judgment, impatient with their opinions and finally simply authoritarian.”

The elder statesman concluded that owing to Ojukwu’s attitude, Biafra failed. He said that the failure was mainly a “political one,” which, according to him, “was, in turn, the failure of the leadership, which firstly, made a wrong tactical choice – outright secession – instead of maneouvring appropriately for vital political alliances within Nigeria and exploiting in that context the numerous weaknesses of its opponents.” He said that by breaking out of the country, “the Biafran leadership abandoned the Nigerian field to those who had then only recently wrenched federal control from the Ironsi government, thus uniting various shades of political opinions in the country behind the new federal authorities, as had never been the case before in Nigeria’s political history, in defence of Nigerian unity.”

Adulterated palm oil floods Nigerian market

Dipo Laleye, Minna - Updated: Tuesday 21-07-2009


The adulterated oilDo you consume red oil ? If yes, then this piece is a must read for you, because what you have been taking as red oil may after all not be red oil but unknown chemical.

The police in Minna, Niger State, have discovered that in an attempt to maximise profit, some traders in the palm oil business in the country now adulterate the commodity with a chemical substance which they get from a factory in Aba, Abia state.

The powdery substance, Crime and Security learnt, can be mixed with water to form a liquid substance that will look like palm oil for any unsuspecting consumer to buy.

When this chemical is mixed with original palm oil, according to investigations, it also increased the reddishness of the oil and in the long run, creates the impression that it is better in quality than any of the oil in the market.

As a result, the adulterated oil, according to the investigation, is always sold at a higher price than the original oil.

This illegal act was very common among members of the Association of Red Oil sellers, who are more at the Gwari market, the second largest market in the Niger State capital.

Acting on a tip off, men of the monitoring unit of the police recently swooped on the Gwari market where this illegal activity was taking place and in the process, 10 of the traders were arrested. Others, including the chairman of their association, however,escaped.

Among those arrested were the deputy chairman of the red oil sellers association, Mr. Jude Okafor, two women, Julian Ochor and Amarachi Okoro.

Others included Christopher Josiah, Adolphus Ajuo, Agbo Tochukwu, James Ejiafoh, Paul Ogochukwu, Reuben Onyeiben and Joseph Ugwu.

The state police commissioner, Mr. Mike Zuokumour, who paraded the suspects before newsmen in Minna last week, said they had all made valuable confessional statements to the police handling the investigation.

Mr. Zuokumour said the exhibits and the suspects would be sent to the National Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) which has the capacity to determine the type of chemical they were using to adulterate the original red oil.

Mr. Jude Okafor, deputy chairman of the red oil sellers association, said he had warned his members to desist from adulterating their products, but they ignored his advice.

Asked if the chemical being used for the adulteration was good for human consumption, Mr Okafor said: “I don’t know because I am not a doctor.”He, however, said that the chemical was being produced in a factory in Aba, but declined to give the address.

He said the traders had to adulterate the red oil to make it more red, but when asked if there was any white oil that would require such an action, Mr Okafor said “there is agric oil.”

The police said they believed that the increase in kidney and liver related cases in the country might not be unconnected with the consumption of the adulterated red oil by many families in the country.

In the meantime, the police commissioner said that a gang of Fulani robbers who specialised in waylaying luxury buses and other motorists on the highway, had been arrested.

Mr. Zuokumour said before the arrest of the robbers, a luxury bus had been attacked with three people, the conductors and drivers bus, had been shot dead by the robbers, before his men arrive to foil the attack on the commuters.

He said two single barrel guns, one four barrelled locally made pistol, three dane guns cut to size, and five cartridges with one expended as well as charms were recovered from the robbers.

Tell us something we don't know, Mofo!!!!
