otanaworld:
Every one discussing the Niger Delta issue should be able to distinguish between the true freedom fighters in the creeks and the cult members operating in Port Harcourt township.

To the True freedom fighters, I give my kudos!

My kudos to them too, they are all Heroes, N-Delta people loves them.

It is very surprising how the Igbos, Yorubas, Ijaws, Edos, Ibibios fight amongst themselves giving the northerners all the rooms thay need to manipulate Nigeria.

Shame on the sensless southerners.

Yorubas are the people who caused it, They prefer to ally and help Northerners kill their fellow southerners rather than help the southerner.
They will tell you some thing but at your back, they will do the opposite. Even at this moment Yoruba soldiers are helping Northerners kill unarmed Ijaw Children instead of helping them.

akara:
This is serious o.  But where is the Military police, the army intelligence, the SSS,
the NSA, for the army to lose thouands of weapons, heads must roll.

No head will roll.

It's commendable to those Nigeria Military officers for handing over/surrendering the weapons to the N-Delta Freedom Fighters because the weapons were bought by Nigeria Government with N-Delta resources, the Officers didn't commit any crime rather we should applaud them.

I like this topic

Congratulation to all the Freedom Fighters, The People of N-Delta adore you all for your commitment to liberate and emancipate us from the hands of oppressors the Fulani/Hausa, their supporters corrupt Yoruba politician/corrupt military General and oil companies.
Because of your galant excel in fighting for our libration, They dirty oppressor are now packing their stinking loads and gradually leaving in shame, this is the beginning of victory, But We will declare total victory when no single of the oppressors who had impoverished our people are no more seen in N-Delta.
Thank you M.E.N.D. and all the commanders of N-Delta freedom fighter for your Excellent Leadership. They silent oppressed majority of our people are with you.

Willy Willy----------you are modifying your position o. . .

Shouldn't that be South Southern Nigerians

,
I don't want to exclude the westerns  so that Seun will not ban me again .
But for real, Nairaland is for South-South and South Easterners

faketan:
Nairaland is Nigeria's Village Square.

You may never get a better opinion of Nigerians in anyother place than here. The only problem is that I feel we have few Northerners here(not sure )
What do you think?

If your looking for Northerners log in at Gamji.com. they are there Chatting and discussion with their brothers in Niger Republic and Chad.
Nairaland is for Southern Nigerians any other person is a Foreigner.

I salute Lagos, .

Trust the Nigerian. Our sheer capacity to seize any sublime idea and grotesquely trivialise it! In every sphere of life, there is nothing serious or sacred, solemn or fundamental, whose essence and ethos the Nigerian cannot violate and destroy. Even religion. But here, no news any longer! Every fraudster in town whose talent is not as great as to be successful, say in advance fee fraud, or has no access to government funds, would set up his own church and use that to defraud both unsuspecting and even suspecting seekers for a good life. And how many Nigerians are not so seeking, given the immense poverty that pervades the society.
When the “IMF logic” of deregulation travelled from the economic sphere in Nigeria to the social, the universities were declared free of government monopoly. In other climes, and among a different sort of people, this would have been embraced as an opportunity to release the genius in society which would lead to the building of great institutions of learning, research and leadership training. The experience, as you would expect here, has been different.
First it started with older Christian religious institutions, some of which were becoming richer than even state governments, and was soon followed by “privately owned” Pentecostal denominations where a single, charismatic individual, very much in the transposed image of the African despot, wields power and spiritual authority. Before long, private moralities in the guise of Pentecostal rectitude started to prevail over intellectual nourishment in these so-called “universities”, which I prefer to call private stations.
The “universities” were in some cases merely an extension of the ego of the African Pentecostal Big Man, the man in whom God has not only invested authority, but in whom it pleases God to repose exclusive wisdom, spiritual and temporal. As might be expected, the old moralities of the Middle-Ages which were more celebrated than observed in the pre-1980s Nigerian high schools – particularly those with boarding houses – were re-imposed in the private stations.
New moralities that came in tow with new-age Pentecostalism, as markedly different from the “indigenous” forms that were the province of the early Aladura form of Pentecostalism, were also added. In some of the stations, because the Church owning them observes “no meat” policy, vegetarianism is imported into the Holy Bible and imposed on the students. In others, because “all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God” – except, of course, the spiritual leader – thou shall not use mobile phones. And, on the pain of death, more or less, these rules are rigidly applied. In one, those who break the spiritual covenant are promptly excommunicated. Any female student, even past 18, who gets her hymen broken, is ejected from the province of eternal grace, which the premises of the Church/“university” constitute.
But even these excesses were reconcilable, for some, with the absolute decline in social moralities and the descent into an abysmal social hell that has been the experience in Nigeria in the last two decades or more. But often times, the religious actors, that is most of those entrepreneurs who create jobs for themselves and others in the name of religion, mirror this decline in morality and even intellect, than the much-accused, much-abused, and much-violated contemporary youth. Anyway, that is just by the way.
What has brought home that national ailment, our incapacity as a people to treat any zone as safe from perversions and trivialisation is fully manifesting itself in the craze for private “universities”. People now wake up on the wrong side of the bed and head for the National University Commission, that curiously obliging institution, with an application letter. By evening, to dramatise the tragedy, they have, safely tucked in their cabinet, an approval to open a university of their own.
When recently I was engaged in a discussion with fellow academics on this scandalous trend that is further confirming that we have no future as a collective people, I wondered what the statistics, infrastructure, and academic personnel, not to talk of resources that my own state of Osun, has to warrant the presence of about seven “universities” there. Apart from the Obafemi Awolowo University, the Ladoke Akintola University, jointly-owned with Oyo State, has a campus there, I was told. Then the state governor, desiring his own “visitor” status, created another university for the state. This is apart from the one owned by the Baptists in Iwo, Bowen. Then there is one at Ikeji-Arakeji – don’t ask where that is – owned by another Church, called Joseph Babalola University. There is another one called Fountain. I was told about yet another one which name I now conveniently forget.
But while we were at that, someone who listened in to our discussion volunteered that Ogun State has much more than that. Which reminded me of an earlier conversation with Dr. Said Adejumobi, the former Lagos State University don, who counted the number of university sign-boards he encountered during a trip between Lagos and Ibadan and concluded that we were an unserious people. The trouble is not, of course, with the number. Given our objective reality, the number is only a reflection of a deep malaise.
Trust the Nigerian senior academic. Our professors are climbing over one another to head these new private stations. And these days, the new Vice Chancellor is not the stately and deliberate Professor Jacob Ade Ajayi, he is not the prudish and widely celebrated Professor Kenneth Dike, the new vice chancellor is, with few exceptions, a mirror of the Pentecostal lords; boisterous and brash and SUV-driving; complete, on occasion, with another professor as his Chief of Staff!
The full complement of this absurdity is emerging. During a recent visit to my own “old” university, the one and only Ibadan, in a conversation with a senior colleague in the front yard of the Social Science Faculty, we saw a professor drive by in an SUV, on which Nigerians call imposed a generic name of “Jeep”, my host then disclosed that the vehicle was given to his colleague for a university that was in the works – yet to be registered! If that was not bad enough, he added that a couple who just made a kill at the Stock Exchange came to meet another professor friend to ask him to prepare the modalities for owning a university of their own. At that point, I gave up. A friend who believes that this country is a comedy for those who think, accused me of giving up out of envy; because, he claimed, I could not muster enough funds, as they say, to start my own university.
Here then, to those who can help; I want a university of my own.

Oooohoooo,
[b][/b]Universiy of WillyWilly Abeokuta

Maybe those Ritualists are from Ijebu because no man from Ondo is capable of such horrible act.

His Excellency Otumba Chief Alao Akala

bawomol:
When Hausa/Yoruba/Fulani corrupt politicians and their Corrupt Military Generals were institutionalizing corruption from 1969 they excluded the Ibos, it's unjust for me to include them on what they were not part of. or have you forgotten the first privatization by Chief Otumba back-Stabber Awolowo.

are u trying to say their were no igbo generals or corruption in the eastern region. the last time i checked the first coup was started by mostly igbo officers . corruption isn't an ethnic issue. don't make it one.

Keep on hiding from the truth. We know what transpired after the Nigeria/Biafra War. How the Tsunami of Yoruba/Hausa/Fulani Corrupt Politicians and their military Generals descended on Nigeria Coffers and it became Manna From Heaven for them. Since corruption is part of Culture on those regions, they must find a way to defend it.

WillyWilly

where Dis Guy dey!!, come see wetin dey happen for your State of Origin,

noetic:
thank you for excluding the Ibo`s

When Hausa/Yoruba/Fulani corrupt politicians and their Corrupt Military Generals were institutionalizing corruption from 1969 they excluded the Ibos, it's unjust for me to include them on what they were not part of. or have you forgotten the first privatization by Chief Otumba back-Stabber Awolowo.

noetic:
Nigeria might have every symptom of a failed state,
what do you think? Who is responsible for Nigeria`s Woes, our Leaders or the System?

Fulani/Yoruba/Hausa Corrupt Politicians and their Corrupt Military Generals are responsible.

omi oyan:
na amadiohra go bend that your dirty  fingers wey you dey take type  this nonsense

E bi like sey Satan don take over your Future

You still dey here dey talk UP AWO, ebi like sey you no dey live inside Nigeria. so you never hear sey His Excellency the humble son of Yoruba Chief Otumba Alao Akala don fall Awolowo for ground,
Even the latest news reaching us now is that some Factional OPC members are dragging Mr Awolowo along Ibadan Streets.

Don't listen to those cocoa planters, immediately the cocoa became worthless their means of acquiring western Education nearly end, they turned their anger toward N-Delta, because of oil they want to strangle me.

Even i heard that some factional OPC members of Ibadan branch were draging Awolowos Statue all over Ibadan street.

Dis Guy:
the minimum they should be getting should be around 50k in my opinion but you don't just print they money

Please Dis Guy don't suggest such an amount, paying 50K as minimum to those Samankwe police.

micklplus:
its obvious this willy willy doesnt know much and those are facts gathered from his posts so far !
What is wrong can't be right and thats the whole argument ! In yoruba land, theres a big respect given to elders ! And it can't be negotiated or compromised however u want to look at it !  Awo signifies lot of things that u can't even comprehend and i think that is the reason why you are taking abomination as child's play in the first place!
cheers

Micklplus,
I understood your concern,
But His Excellency Chief Otumba Alao Akala is a man in possession of some secret files unknown to you about Mr Awolowo, he knows him better and what Awo represent which is Tribalism and Back-Stabbing, people like his Excellency is not comfortable with such an Awo ideology and want to eradicate it.

kaycrystal:
If statues represents legacies in your warped dictionary, then we know where you belong. obviousy you are a rare breed of the molete boys that has little time for the internet but also you are yet to understand and explore the possibilites by getting more educated and enlightened. pity you dint come during the era of free education!!!

All what you said about me is true,
But His Excellency Otumba Chief Alao Akala said Mr Awolowo is not important. I'm not the one who destroyed the Statue but his Excellency Chief Akala a Yoruba man who knows the right thing to do.

mdsocks:
ah ah ! you are a two mouthed person willy.

Yes i am.
Awolowo don fall for ground

jas_o:
Their is a difference between politics and hooliganism that akala is practising. if you take a careful study of what has dominated Ibadan in terms of illiteracy, inhuman act etc. since the emergence of this democracy you will succumbed to my point. A truth Yoruba man will never allow himself to be control by devil mind as its obvious in akala case. who is akala to changed papa awo statue with unknown soldier? did soldier symbolise democracy in akala world? if you even look at amount used to erect the statue you will tag it to something suspicious. a town like Ibadan that was a copy picture which other states striving for its emulation changed to be laughing stuff with her irrational  control by devil tools so to say, it's a pity! infact Ibadan is a disgrace stigma to Yoruba land.

I believed their are something wrong about Awolowo that made his Excellency Otumba Chief Akala to drag down the Statue.
It's a pity to treat Mr Awolowo in such a way, this shows that his legacies are no more welcome. Kai!!!!!!!!!!!!!

spoilt:
didnt know having calabar girl as girlfriend is now the measure of success! I havent laughed so hard in a long time. Wonders oh! 

I'm happy he is pround about his girlfriend, Calabar girls are precious.

micklplus:
How do u define AWO being a back stabber? can u please, explain ? Ordinary civilian snuggled out military personnel and you are here saying he back stabbed ? why didnt ojukwu sorted himself out by having all his strategies outlined ?

Mr Awolowo was/is known by people as a champion of Tribalism and back-stabbing and his Excellency Otumba Chief Alao Akala don't want people to see him as a supporter of such an ugly mentality.
For example the problem between the Ijaws and Ishekiris was caused by this same man and many lives were lost on that conflict and majority of his policies contributed to the loss of many other innocent lives.
Maybe because of all this loss of peoples lives, His Excellency doesn't want his hands stain, that is why he want to distance himself from such a man.

@noetic,
Every thing you said is correct.
But why is it that His Excellency Otumba Chief Akala decided to disgrace my Mr Awolowo by smashing down his Statue and replacing it with Unknown soldier, does that mean Unknown soldier is more important than Mr Awolowo.
Can you see how ungrateful people are as i said earlier.
Why should Hero Awolowo be treated in such a way, this is painful.

I said it earlier that one day this will happen cos of a well known reason. Otumba Chief Alao-Akala was right to remove
Mr Awolowo Statue, which for him and his state represent Tribalism and Back-stabber, according to Chief Akala he don't want himself to be seen as a man who honours Tribalism which Mr Awolowo represent.

olydim:
Thanks (but no thanks) moderator for changing my post. I did  not ''believe'' this Oduduwa stunt of my own free will. I was persuaded to believe it by my History teacher at Tolu secondary school, Apapa. Now that I know better, I realise I have been deceived by Yoruba history and its tellers.

Nay wah oo, when will this their deceiving of people end?. Even unborn child wey still dey for em Mama womb still the complain how this people bi deceivers. we dey for trouble inside this country.
