immhotep:
Even GEJ become Igbo around the year 2014. We know the drill

cc lzaa adaibeku t9ksy afamed yarimo sarrki deomelo

But did GEJ ever identify himself as igbo? He said Igbos were the pillars of his administration, but he never called himself igbo.

immhotep:
And what about those who identify themselves as Igbos ? ?


But you will remember that they are Igbo if they get appointment as Finance Minister (eg Okonjo-Iweala)

cc lzaa adaibeku t9ksy afamed yarimo sarrki deomelo

I give up. You refuse to read or even comprehend what I write.
I identify Okonjo-Iweala as Igbo, but does she herself? Come to think of it, has Okonjo-Iweala ever identify herself as igbo? I am just asking.

immhotep:
Except, of course, that we are NOT talking about Germans and Austrians here.

In one breath you will blame Nzeogwu (from Delta state) for organizing the Igbo coup. In the same breath you will argue vehemently that there are no Igbos in Delta state.

cc lzaa adaibeku t9ksy afamed yarimo sarrki deomelo

You are now venturing into the realm of deceit. When did I say that they are no igbos in delta state? I said lots of igbo speaking people do not identify themselves as igbos. I personally know many of such people here in Lagos. I identify them as igbos, but they reject that identification. You will find many of them also here on nairaland.

Yyeske:
Did he ask you for a referendum or do you want to force it on him? Who would even grant you a referendum, the Nigerian state? That weed is too much for your tender brain abeg.

Does he want to force referendum on them? Did the tribes he is pushing referendum for ask him to act on their behalf?

immhotep:
Yes, so stop accusing Nnamdi Kanu of looking from other people's crude oil

Then why is he so fixated on oil bearing tribes of the Niger delta (I mean the tribes that produce up to 70% of Nigeria's crude)

immhotep:
Yes, there are no Igbo people in Delta state.
But Nzeogwu from Okpanam (in Delta state) was Igbo and organized the first Igbo coup.
I get your lack of Logic


cc lzaa adaibeku t9ksy afamed yarimo sarrki deomelo

during WW2 German identification of Austrian caused lots of problems as some Austrians identify themselves as Germans, while lots reject the identification .

immhotep:
And I am sure you know that there must be oil in Imo and Abia states, for them to be included in NDDC

Having oil does not make an area a delta.

immhotep:
But Major Chukwuma Nzeogwu remains Igbo even though he was from Delta state.

Please re-read my previous post concerning German identification by Austrians.

immhotep:
Receive sense.
NDDC includes Imo and Abia states

I know you are far more intelligent that this, and I am sure you know the difference between geographical Niger Delta and political Niger Delta.

Donald95:
They totally hate it. My best friend is from Delta state but one day i jokingly said he is a Biafran because he is Igbo (Chinedu is his name ) He bluntly told me he is not Igbo and not a Biafran. Can you just imagine? Even my roommates name is Arinze from Delta State but yet he claims not to be Igbo

I have pointed out numerous times that lots of Anioma and Ikwerre people say they are not igbo, but it seems to defy the sensibilities of IPOB members. They just can imagine an igbo speaking people deny igbo identity. They just don't understand that identify is different from geographical, cultural or language affiliation. It's like Austrians and Germans, during WW2 German identification of Austrian caused lots of problems as some Austrians identify themselves as Germans, while lots reject the identification.

immhotep:
Attache-by-force is bad, but it is good for Nigger-Area to attach Biafra by force.
Many people need to receive sense

cc lzaa adaibeku t9ksy afamed yarimo sarrki deomelo samuelmusa

You are sounding like the biafran struggle is also a contest for attache by force contest between Nigeria and biafra. The south south is already attached to Nigeria, by force or otherwise. It is you people that needs to first break the attachment and then attach it to yourself.
The attache by force or fire of oil bearing minority tribes by IPOB make it seem like the struggle is all about oil. That's why when Kanu goes to solicit for support from international community, he boasts that "we have oil and gas in abundant quantities" where is the oil and gas in abundant quantities?

oyatz:
I am not from the proposed Biafra but from the S/West and I am proud of my Yoruba heritage.


However, there is no way Biafra will be created without affecting other Nigerians ,hence my concerns.

I see no reasons why Biafra can't exist side by side with Nigeria. The two countries (just as Texas merged with the United States and
the German kingdoms of Prussiaa and Bavaria merged to form Germany or Tripolitania, Benghazi and Fezzan merged to form Modern Libya) can even merge later on if they so wish.

But you still have ethnic Germans in Austria and Switzerland.
The idea of incorporating every Igbo speaking group from delta, edo bayelsa, rivers, and benue into a new country is just not feasible.

Warship:
Be smart.

Once they divide the Ijaws and the Igbos, the same cabal will try to separate SS Igbos from SE Igbos and after that, they will go for Abia Igbos from Imo Igbos.


Keep the enemies at bay by discouraging their divide and conquer tactics.

Use your brain and not your anus/mouth.

Can you please tell me the "they" who is dividing Asari Dokubo and Kanu?

fx45:
Urhobo and Itsekiri lands have NEVER been part of Biafra. The Ikas are at liberty to join or continue in Nigeria

You completely avoided the question and went off on a tirade.
How will the referendum work? Will biafrans be interspersed between Nigerian tribes?

gidgiddy:
Historically, the area known as Biafra 600 years ago can be seen on the map below. The green portion, which is Biafra land, cover much of what we now call SS/SE, as well as Southern Cameroon,
and stops at the Bini Empire in present day Edo state. It was this historical narrative that Frank Opigo , the provincial head of Yenagoa province, reminded Ojukwu of that made Ojukwu adopt the name Biafra. I dont know what historical facts Asari uses to say that Biafra is an Ijaw thing.

Fraud map.
Painting an area of a map and printing Biafra on it means nothing. You need actually show proof that a people or civilization called Biafra actually existed, ie geography, politics, architecture, language, literature, arts, relationship with neighbours, etc. The Benin empire that existed 600 years ago that was supposed to be neighbours had no recollections whatsoever of a people or empire called Biafra. Non of the coastal dwellers at that time had any recollection of a people called Biafrans. Even southern Cameroon which lied wholly in the fabled Biafra map had no recollection of their people being labelled Biafrans.

Be that as it may, the issue of Biafra has gone beyond the name of an area. It is now about the ethnic nationalities in Southern Nigeria who collectively want to exit Nigeria.

Apart from a sub group of igbos mainly IPOB, MASSO and Biafran Zionists, how many people buy the Biafra idea? You guys always purport to speak for all of SS when you do not even speak for all igbos.

GavelSlam:

It's long be sold to a Fulani man from Cameroun.

The battle is for the next generation.

You know understand my question. If Ijaws and aniomas in delta vote yes, Urhobos and itsekiris and Ikas vote no, what happens? Will Biafra be isolated communities or tribes within other tribes in Nigeria?

GavelSlam:
Referendum?

Abeg helep me Ask am how the referendum go work?
Will the referendum apply only to tribes, local government , states or to the whole region?
What happens if the calabaris, Ogojas or urhobos reject, but the igbos, ijaws (remember ijaws have many sub clans from rivers to ondo) and annang vote to secede?

greatagain17:
I read the report and comprehended every bit of info in it. I only suggested two major options to her in my comment. Although , the first option best suit her condition, the other option is cool as it will minimize any complication post-abortion. Being emotionally and psychologically fit is relative . She can as well see a mental health specialist and a counsellor to tackle the depression. I have every right or freedom to interpret the OP post the way I like or feel. Saying I only read the headline and not the report itself is an act of 'e-agression' on your part. I deserve an unreserved apology from you, Wirinet

Unreserved apology granted.

Being raped alone is psychologically traumatic, but being forced to give birth to a rapist child makes the situation worse. The baby will be a reminder of the rape for the rest of her life.

Forget the scare mongering, early term abortion done by a professional doctor is extremely safe. When I was in the world, my friends and I had lots of experience in that regard and non resulted in any complications. I had a friend that the girlfriend got pregnant practically every month. The girl is married today with children.

The problem is cost, abortion by a qualified gynecologist is quite expensive. I hear it is about 50k nowadays. The cases where complication arises is when the abortion is late like 4 months and above or it was done by quacks, chemists, nurses, etc.

Abeg can someone tell me the meaning of the acronym SARS?
What and why are they raiding to necessitate shooting passersby? Were they pursuing robbers?

SARS are also anti 419 squad, anti tattoo squad, anti indescent dressing squad and even anti domestic dispute squad.

greatagain17:
Abortion is a sin yen yen yen .....terminate the pregnancy with a qualified doctor and sin no more dear ! She only had sex, she didn't commit murder. However , if you are emotionally and psychologically prepared to have the child, then no need for abortion .

It seems you only read the headline and not the report itself. The report said someone forcefully had sex with her insinuating rape.
The report also said " her current state left her in near-depression", unless you want her to commit suicide before you accept that she is not emotionally and psychologically prepared to have a baby.

Ubdavis:
She doesn't know that, else considering what the pastor said shouldn't be a matter of serious concern to ha . she has been brainwashed already!!!

My issue with pastors is they claim powers they don't have. Non, I mean non have the ability to see or forsee the future (else Bet9ja would be in trouble ), but they will be controlling the lives of their followers like puppet master.

Ubdavis:
Considering what the pastor said

And the pastor is God or a medical doctor

Emmanuel226:
pls, if u abort d child u have sinned directly to God and maybe indirectly to Ghana as a nation

That's between the girls god and her, it's not your business. Which is greater sin, contributing to the army of unwanted children roaming our streets and causing all sorts of social problems or aborting unwanted pregnancies very early into the pregnancy.

[quote author= post=77972060]SAY NO TO ABORTION.

Keep your baby gurl, that might be the NEXT President of Ghana![/quote]And how many bustard children had been president? Say no to abortion is you promise to take and care for all unwanted babies.

300wayne:
Forcefully means rape
report the guy to the authorities if you fit still know am
keep the baby........Abortion is not a solution

Why should she keep a baby she does not want, especially from a result of rape.

I will only advise her to keep the baby if you promise to adopt the baby immediately it is born.

Arysexy:
Was GEJ, bowing to or kneeling before Adeboye in that picture?

U need some spectacles.

No, he was bowing and kneeling before God as represented by the image of Adeboye, exept you want to tell me that God is sitting somewhere on the alter, next to Adeboye.

Abeg borrow me your spectacles so I can see where God is sitting or standing in the picture.

Arysexy:
Mumu, you are better than no Igbo.

You must be an Afonjamudeen not to know a Christian kneels for prayers.

You are comparing totally different scenarios. GEJ is expected to kneel and pray or be prayed for as a Christian. Just as a Buhari will remove his shoe ( no matter d price) and enter a mosque, squat and pray.


I repeat, you are no way better and educated than Igbos #FACT.


So shut up!

And where in the bible did it state that you must kneel or bow before a priest or pastor before he can pray for you. How many people bowed before jesus?

Read exodus 20: 4 -5; where God specifically condemned the bowing down before any image or man

Exodus 20:4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

festacman:
The question is would FFK not show reverence to Pastor Adeboye if he meets him today? Recall President Jonathan once went on his knees before him at Redeem Camp.

Femi Fani Kayode should, first, run and campaign for an elective position before criticizing Femi Gbajabiamila. I bet him, with his twisted display of arrogance, he will only get a few votes.

The truth is that running for an elective position humbles you because you need to solicit support and vote from even a 'beggar with PVC' to push your aspiration across the line.

Let me help you find the picture; here it is.

Why didn't FFK slam Jonathan for kneeling down before a yoruba man, after all the ijaws got in contact with Christian missionaries before the Yorubas.

FFK is just trying to fan religious hatred between Christians and Muslims, thinking it will help PDP attain power.

chris81964:
You can buy inverters that will allow you to program parameters that would allow for them to only provide power when those parameters are met. You can also prioritize different power sources. If you are willing to spend the money the Schneider Electric and Victron Energy inverter will allow you to do that. I run my home and office on solar power and I used repurposed EV lithium ion batteries. I have been 100% off grid since January of 2017 and the home and office has experience 24/7 power. We run all our water pumps, microwave oven and other household appliances. On very sunny days we run our 1 hp AC on it.

Please explain how the programmable inverters work. Is it possible to program each load connected to the inverter or you can only program the total load drawn from the inverter?

CNN80:
Looks like a good idea but isn't it limited by time? If I program it for when I assume there'll be sunshine and it starts raining, won't there be a problem?

No power system is 100% reliable and consistent. That is why there must always be backups if power is required 365 days of the year. It is possible to design and electronic switch socket that works only after a pre determined voltage is reached, but that will not also be 100% reliable. What happens when you have the 7 days rain we used to experience in the West. Your freezer would thaw and the contents would spoil.

You must have a back up generator or even use grid electricity as back up for the few days of cloudiness that happens every year.

CNN80:
Hi, thanks for replying. Sorry, I was not clear before. When I said from the panel, I meant through the inverter. Basically, I was wondering if the wiring could be done such that once the inverter is drawing power from the batteries, some sockets are automatically bypassed. I want to be sure that if I leave the house, my fridge will run only when the inverter is drawing power from the panel.

I received a quote for a solar installation with GSL Powerwall and I'm looking for people who have had experience with it or something similar.

Ok, I get what you mean now.

You can get programmable plug in digital timer switch for the loads you want to run during sunshine hours only. You don't need to touch the wirings.

Below is an example of programmable plug in digital timer switch;

They are not so expensive, you can order direct from alibaba or aliexpress.
