Family › Re: Do Married People Have More Wisdom About Relationships? by vanbonattel: 7:37pm On Oct 23, 2012
MRbrownJAY: ^^^^ think of what you just wrote, and imagine the following scenario:
the first couple dated for 3 yrs, got married for the next 7yrs, the second couple dated for 10yrs.....and then come and tell us why you would automatically assume that the first couple have more wisdom about relationship than the second one.
arrant nonsense, the lady in the second scenario will still be pretending like an actress!
Till she says "I do" on the alter, then you will see who your wife really is!

tomakint: For where, for the mere fact that you are married does not equip you with more wisdom on relationship, you may have some experiences above someone not married, but most times married people still engage in many 'illicit acts' not expected of them, so where is the wisdom?
If you are not married, you have only seen the tip of the proverbial iceberg!
The realities of marriage will shock you to your bone marrows when you get in.
There is nothing you know about marriage till you get married, just wait and see.

rafhell: shut your dirty stinking mouth!!!!!!!!!! we are fond of condemning those brave soldiers instead of commending them. the life of those guys are at stake. you forget that they are humans with families and friends.

we forgot that they are fighting a bunch of islamic lunatics who are motivated by a desire to die and inherit 77 virgins as laid down by their founder

Sweet country Nigeria! Very good country. Why not divide this country now so that suicidal people will be given a suicidal country where they will be free to murder themselves to the last man!

No matter how mature you are, surprises of life can still hurt your marriage.

dayokanu: America was hit by Arabs , Northern Nigeria , Midwest and Southwest was hit by Igbos


America responded in a "disproportinate" way, The North, West and Midwest too responded in a "disproportionate" way.


Moral: Proportions is only a Mathematical concept and not applicable in warfare
What proportions, or you mean criminality?
Politics › Re: Achebe On Awolowo: Has He Gone Too Far? by vanbonattel: 7:35pm On Oct 10, 2012
dayokanu: The beginning of all these was the simple fact that Igbo soldiers killed other leaders and spared theirs. Ngodigha has given his own comical explanation of the event and I have responded to him in kind

You can let us know if you also believe Balewa died of ezcema, Bello, Okotie Eboh Akintola who were killed in their bedroom were justifuably killed.

And if its a stupid act, Can you decide what response the agrieved people should take?
Is it a crime for them to be rational and take down the offenders and let the rest of the people be? Oh! I forgot its only humans that can afford the luxury of rationalism and not those................ well WTF!
Politics › Re: Achebe On Awolowo: Has He Gone Too Far? by vanbonattel: 7:30pm On Oct 10, 2012
dayokanu: Like I said in real life actions and reaction are never equal

How many people were killed in WTC, Can you count the number of people in Iraq and Afghanistan that have died as a response?

1 Archduke ferdinand was killed by miscreant in Sarajevo, Tell me the number of casualties that followed.

If the initial killing was done then any action that follows is Justified.
the example of the WTC, cannot work here because the American masses did not invade muslem communities and started to kill and rappe small muslim girls. Remember the defiance of Saddam and Afghan authorities. Those two scenarios has nothing in common with the blood thirsty crowds who has continued to hold this country down, not because of the coups of 50 years ago, but because they are bloody beastly vampires. Can you compare America with Nigeria today. Please, lets not compare apples with oranges here.

Katsumoto: The humane side of states that it was wrong to kill innocent people. However, like you stated, no one can predict how far a crises will go if one person slaps another. So the person throwing the first punch must think it through. Unfortunately, innocent people had to die for the actions of a few.
And supposing the person throwing the first punch was a lunatic and very incapable of thinking an action through?, does it justify the killing of 30,000 of his brethrens who knew nothing of the crime?

Would it have been good to gun down the whole of Ondo state for instance, just because MKO committed a treasonable felony against the FG?

CyberG: @Aze: Could you take about 5-7 minutes to hear what the general of the people's army had to say in his 2 MEGA interviews as shown in the videos below? I just want to be certain that I am not the only one who sees that his boast in the first video did not match up barely 2 years 6 months and 9 days later.
Because of the betrayal of your fathers, back stabber!
can you fight for 6 months against the Nigerian army, can your lazy brothers produce an Ojukwu bucket?

[quote author=ekt_bear]DK and Kats:

What you don't seem to understand is that a coup in which
a) the primary actors were Igbo
b) and all of the victims no-Igbo, and
c) in fact all the senior Igbos (Ironsi, Zik, Okpara and Osadebey, etc) emerged unscathed

was a selfless, non-sectarian, patriotic coup for the best interest of Nigeria.[/quote]agreed, the coup was not well thought out, no balance, no future plans and in short, idiotic. But the northerners should have retaliated and killed the coupists, or target some top ranking igbo soldiers and kill them, or even target zik, okpara etc. But because of their hunger for blood, because they are demons which should not be related to anybody, they turned and started killing innocent women and children who had nothing to do with the planning or the execution of the coup, I still ask,

The eleven year old little girls rapped to death during the pogroms bu 13 soldiers, what was her crime? did she shoot the sarduanahuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuh??
Politics › Re: Achebe On Awolowo: Has He Gone Too Far? by vanbonattel: 7:04pm On Oct 10, 2012
Katsumoto: I agree wholeheartedly that the pogroms were beastly but Awo betrayed no one.
according to what I heard, awo agreed with zik to go back and declare oduduwa republic, but thought against it and dropped the idea later, instead suggesting the starvation policy when it seems the war was taking tioo long?

and can your coward tribe stand the force of the Nigerian army for only 6 months. Please bow down and worship Ojukwu, he is your god.
Politics › Re: Achebe On Awolowo: Has He Gone Too Far? by vanbonattel: 6:57pm On Oct 10, 2012
Katsumoto: So did Okpara, Zik, and Osadebey resist arrest?

Or were colling off in the Caribbean while their colleagues got murdered in their sleep? (Zik)
Or were they sleeping soundly in their beds with no soldiers to wake them up with submachine gun fire ?(Osadebey)
Or were they hosting the leader of the coupists to a tea party ?(Okpara)

Also when Shodeinde and Ademulegun were being shot in bed with their wives, one wonders why Ironsi was missed despite being the most senior officer.
nobody should justify the action of the coupists, they were completely stewpid, what followed, the pogroms was also condemnable, but the betrayal of awo was the last straw.

dayokanu: And what Happened to Azikwe, Okpara and Osadebey?

Azikwe had ulcer and was forgotten, Okpara has Constipation and was forgotten, Osadebey has ezcema and was forgotten
and Dayokanu has brain damage and will be flushed down the toilet

Dahbutter: Cry baby ibos. Your ogas lacked intelligence and war strategies and a more intelligent side whopped their @ss using common sense in a war.
I wonder, if situations were turned around if the ibos would have sent or allowed food reach their own enemies in a war they were desperate to win knowing the concieted, dubious, crafty, dishonest selfish crooks they really are. Now because modern trends have coined out the word "war crimes" 4uking asswipes are screaming injustice!

I wonder if the whimps would have given back properties to their enemies after the war or aid them to prosper in their own land after like d yorobbers did.

The first stoopid fact about the barggers is they don't really know their real enemy and decided to loose their frustration on the ones who were most sympathetic to their plight. Dumb pricks
My mum is ibo, but I must admit here on NL they come around as a dumb lot with a misplaced focus screaming foul play because they didn't have the advantage in a war due to their brainless commanders.

Now go back and prepare 4 another war if u want, use your brain this time but remember as the chinese say all is fair in war!
HA HA HA HA ,
The realities today still show yorubas goofed badly, and are the real losers of this war, when they have their leaders systematically wiped out by same housas you have been serving. Keep losing.

confusion247: The explanation you are looking for is contained in what Ojukwu told saro wiwa in ph prison. Ojukwu greeted Saro wiwa 'GOOD MORNING' BY 3:33pm. figure it out boy. just read the situation at hand when Ojukwu said so and you will understand.
That was bull's eye!
He greeted him to remind him that their betrayal back in the war has caught up with them. It was morning for saro wiwa as he just woke up to meet the real 'north' he was sleeping with and romancing at night.

I only hope we dont have to tell the yoruba 'good morning' by 7pm at night

lee007: A TRUELY WISE MAN DOES NOT DIE LEAVING A FRACTURED FAMILY......IF ACHEBE'S AIM WAS SEEKING APOLOGY, WHY NOT ASK BEFORE 1987, BEING A PROF DOES NOT MEAN YOU CANT BE MISCHIEVIOUS
FAMILY?
Are we really family, the last time I looked, yoruba is still very much scared of igbo people and the igbo people are also very cautious. It is still not late for the yoruba to apologize, but I fear this may not be needed as this country may never ever unite and be one. we are better split than this forceful bonding.

IF THAT WAR HAD GONE FUTHER THAN 1970, WHO KNOWS WHERE YOU WOULD BE TODAY- MR WAR CRIME PROFESSOR...ABEG GO FACE THE HAUSA FULANI STILL DEALING WITH THE WHOLE COUNTRY AT THE MOMENT, TO US IN THE WEST AWO IA AN HERO A BIG BIG ONE FOR THAT MATTER....WHAT HAS OJUKWU LEFT YOU WITH?...COMPLAINING AS USUAL?
Dont bring the hausa fulani into this one, this is all about awolowo and the need to set history straight. There are threads for the fulani so you can go there if you dont like this one. Ojukwu is the most courageous hero this country has produced, a man who saw the need to end this union in time before things got as bad as they are now.

If your daft grandparents listened to Ojukwu, will your brothers be suffering housa fulani blood shed now?

lee007: THE IGBO NATION HAS TO CALL THIS OLD MAN TO ORDER, WHAT DOES HE GAIN BY OPENNING OLD WOUNDS. YES AWOLOWO WAS TACTICALLY INVOLVED IN THE WAR IN SUCH A MANNER THAT BROUGHT THE WAR TO AN END BUT CLAIMED CASUALTIES...IT WAS A WAR POEPLE NOT LUDO GAME AND PLEASE DEAL WITH IT!

THE SAME THING THE IGBO NAIRALANDERS ARE BLAMING AWOLOWO FOR ALMOST 50 YEARS LATER IS WHAT IGBOS THEMSELVES HAVE MASTERED IN THE CURRENT POLOTICAL LANDSCAPE OF NAIGERIA AND THAT IS WHY THEY CAN HARDLY PRODUCE A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE. STRATEGIC ALLIANCE IS CRITICAL IN POLITICS, WHO WANTS TO STAY WIH THE OBVIOUSLY LESS LEGITIMATE AND LOSING SIDE ABI?

PLEASE LET LATE PA AWOLOWO REST IN HIS GRAVE, IF IGBOS CANNOT UNDERSTAND WAR TIME STRATEGY, THEY SHOULD PLEASE STOP DISTURBING OUR PEACE WITH TACTLESS BOOKS.......NEXT!!!!
Pa Awolowo should be allowed to rest in his grave, yes.
But the truth should be said for true forgiveness to reign. What will it benefit Acbebe if he dies without passing down the whole knowledge he has access to. The man has made himself a hero by his recent stands in the nation.
