texazzpete: I am happy you understand where I'm coming from.
I am also quite shocked that you say you did not see any concrete facts therein. He quotes Azikiwe and Nwakanma. He provides excerpts from confidential US diplomatic cables. He shows that Achebe's account of meeting that foreign head of state cannot possibly be factual. He punctures Achebe's attempts to dissociate Nzeogwu from the Igbo tribe. He shows how Achebe highlights Igbo suffering and glosses over the suffering of others.

There ARE concrete facts in his article.
The document written by this half-baked westerner is an excercise in pitiful self denial. Achebe's work is da bomb, how can I get Achebe's new book in Nigeria.

Kamanda: Reading this article just made me so sad.I lost every shred of respect I had for Mr Achebe.

And it's such a terible shame that a Mod on Nigeria's most influential website will reduce himself to an irrational Brainless nitwit out of ethnic bigotry.

If Mr Seun has any sence he should drop that Afam4ever guy as a Mod.Shame.
Waiting for your lousy ban.

[quote author=Negro_Ntns]coup plotters usually have nothing to live for but everything to die for. there are plenty of soldiers that fit that profile........dissatisfied and disgruntled.

there was a time where the line was diluted and one couldnt tell if the policeman you are reporting robbery to is the same one behind the mask that invaded your home last night. we have that time again now.

the last time we had a coup our phone network and instant on the go communication was not so sophisticated. plotters travelled to distant cities to meet in secrecy and confer. thats too much risk.

we have never done it but a coup can successfully be pulled off without army.

lets not talk about harm coming to ihejirika or Gej. focus on correcting the imbalance in promotions. focus on topic.[/quote]Kai! This guy is really very hopeless, your parents will cry uncontrollably if they read the stench of your comments.

outrage: See this hidiot!
What has that got to do with bringing their cattle to graze in the south.


Maybe if you paid attention in geography class, you'll know the north is a desert they might be able to graze during the raining season but have to move during dry.


Besides its part of culture, fulani culture!

If you paid attention in geography, you'll know that the north has more land mass than the south, the population is scattered over a larger area, while the south have them packed in a small area.


Life style and culture to counts, if you don't have anything to do in the streets why will someone want to be there?
Bringing their cattle to graze in the south means that most parts of the north, like the desert is without water. If the cattle find it difficult to only drink water there, how can humans who drink, bath, wash, clean, cook with the water survive there?
You can drive for an area like from PH to Makurdi and not see a single house in the north, in the south, you would have passed like a 2 million homes before you go that far, where are all the masses of the north hiding?

Our Yansh: I see Ihejirika losing his job...

Why is he trying to cause disunity in the army....

Why didn't he learn from his sister in Immigration...

Did he expect others to sit and watch him sideline them because he's Igbo and they've not tasted power since 1867??

The guy's action isn't wise at all..

There has to be balance in doing some of these things..

cool cool
Let him lose his job, better to do the right thing and lose your goddam job than to do the wrong thing and keep it.

[quote author=Rhino.5dm]So, ki ni big deal? If the man favours his people? clear case of giving a dog a bad name to hang it. Who are those shouting and trying to skin this man alive because he is ibo?

Even though, I don't support any corruption or trying to hold brief for him but I want to shamelessly say here that the recruitment process in Nigeria military has alway been like this, right from the time immemorial. Those without sin should cast the first stone!.

Now, where were these people writing petition when small town like Zuru emirate council in Kebbi State produced many generals? The likes of General Ishaya Bamaiyi, Musa Bamaiyi, General Sani Sami? Jakolo?? No one complained when Musa Bamaiyi and Ishaya Bamaiyi, both Generals and brothers from thesame parents became ministers simultaneously?

Where were these people when General Ishaya Bamaiyi the then COAS enlisted truck loads of miscreants from his village into the Nigerian army disregarding the due process and the useless quota system?

Many of which can't even write their names? There was a time when more than half of recruits in Kaduna Jaji came from his village and at thesame time populating NDA with Zuru indigenes. Yes, quote me anytime!!!!

Selective Promotionhuh Where were they when Obj promoted Nuhu Ribadu from mere Assistance Commissioner of Police ( ACP) to Assistance Inspector General of Police (AIG), the first of its kind in the history of the Nigerian police blatantly against the recommendation of Police Service Commission?[/quote]Let the truth be told, let shame shame the devil.

FreeGlobe: you should laugh at these jokers. This time there will be no British mercenaries. America will most likely favor igbos because they don't mess with Moslems. we shall finish what they started.


Please how can I write Gen Ihejirika, there is an urgent need to site NDA and NMA campuses in the SE too to balance up the lopsidedness. Let them ask Gen Ihejirika any questions so we can open the history books of tribalism military recruiting
Its only a matter of time, water must always find its level sha. Igbo people have been severely punished because everybody is afraid of their sense. That sense is what Nigeria needs to develop their scientific sectors.

dumjoshua: through out militatry regime which was in d hands of northners,northeners were favour more than any other region in the area of recruitment in police,army and other security services.we will nt forget that military created states anyhw in the north more than any other region,the north always complain.
And most of them were employed as illiterates, promoted because of their surnames and prevented from going on wars and peace keeping missions.
Politics › Re: Petitions At National Assembly Over Army Promotions by vanbonattel: 8:14am On Feb 02, 2013
[quote author=sam(obo)]For example, Abia State, the home state of General Ihejirika, with a population of only 2.8 million, has so far had the largest share of recruits, 450, far above Kano with a population of 9.3 million, Lagos with a population of just over 9 million and Kaduna with a population of just over 9 million. These states have so far had 259, 255 and 382 recruits respectively.
?The case of Ebonyi is also symptomatic of this glaring lopsidedness in the recruitment figures. Thus although 377 were recruited from Ebonyi with a population of just 2.2 million, Oyo State with a population of 5.6 million had only 282; Katsina with a population of 5.8 million had only 248; Lagos State with a population of just over 9 million had only 255 and only 271 was recruited from Plateau State with a population of of 3.2 million.
?When the same table is analysed on zonal basis,General Ihejirika?s bias in favour of his zone also becomes patently clear. The South East geo-political zone with a population of 16.3 million has so far had the highest recruits ? 1925. The North West, which is the largest geo-political zone with a population of 35.8 million, double that of South East, has only 1949 recruits.
?Similarly, the South West geo-political zone with a population of 27.6 million The South East geo-political zone with a population of 16.3 million has so far had the highest recruits ? 1925. The North West, which is the largest geo-political zone with a population of 35.8 million, double that of South East, has only 1949 recruits.
?Similarly, the South West geo-political zone with a population of 27.6 million, has only 1561 recruits. Thousands of qualified recruits from these states have had their applications turned down by a kangaroo selection group set up by General Ihejirika.?[/quote]Correcting an imbalance, maybe there are only 15 army personnel from Ebonyi state and 19 army personnel from Abia all these years while there might be 45,000 from Kano and 29,500 from Ogun.
Politics › Beyond The Political Intrigues, What Is The Real Population Of Nigeria. by vanbonattel(op): 8:10am On Feb 02, 2013
I am asking this question because we need to know the truth, Its hard to believe the several figures being thrown about in the past census. How can desert states have more people living in them than well populated, wooded, water lined states, and yet the people in the north always bring their cattle down to graze in the south?
How can Kano be more poulated than Lagos?
I think somebody is just manipulating those figures to suit their political ambitions. One day, the truth will be known.

Yes we need a revolution, start from your neighborhood, all those yahoo yahoo boys who made money illegally and are flaunting them before you to opress you should be dealt with.
Start from your government administrators, your closest brothers in power who have been getting rich at our collective expense should be targetted for public prosecution, start asking queestions and demanding answers.

Waiting for a bogus "revolution" where you just gather to kill selected people who you think are in power will not work. Start from where you are.

CyberG: Really? If things go awry and there is a repeat of 1966 or something not pleasant, who will you blame? I hope no one complains if there is a fall out from Ihejirika's folly.
Let us stop this 1966 blackmail, the right things should always be done despite the fears of the past.
Politics › Re: Petitions At National Assembly Over Army Promotions by vanbonattel: 7:32am On Feb 02, 2013
The only question here should be; With the position and power of COAS, does Ihejirika have the power to do what he did?

If he does, then there should be no further comments.

Christianity Etc › Re: What Is Behind Getting Pressed While Sleeping? by vanbonattel: 6:35pm On Jan 31, 2013
Dogohson: The problem I have with scientists is their attempt to give every phenomenon a scientific appendage. Colossians 2 : 8 warn us to beware of this. I've experienced night press on several occasion, but since I became spiritually alert such experience ceased. Night pressing is the work of the devil
The problem I have with pastors and priests is that they attempt to give every simple occurence a religious appendage. Science warns us to beware of this. I experienced night press on many time in my teenage years and one day I summed up courage and challenged the spirit to dare me again, it stopped. Its in the mind and preys on our fears, not any stuupid-prank-playing-devil.
