[quote author=aloy-emeka link=topic=728224.msg8865617#msg8865617 date=1312597264]While I agree with some of your posts; lets not make the mistake of lumping people together. Which money did ObJ steal?. If he stole money, he would have been living large like his friend Theo Danjuma, rather he is still farming tediously to put food on the table. Obasanjo may not be the best of the saints but I find it very difficult to believe that he stole money from the Nigerian govt.[/quote]I think you are OBJ or you don't live in Naija or you are a direct beneficiary of OBJ for posting that. Abeg don't derail this thread

OmoLisabi:
Its all copy and paste.

If you had copied and pasted other stuff not just buses, Nigeria would have been industrialised by now.

Guys, marriage isn't that bad, at least my wife don't do all that though she could be picky sometimes- all women are, rich or poor. Only a matter of understanding.

[quote author=okada_man link=topic=727608.msg8855291#msg8855291 date=1312477511]The problem is idiooootAs like you that cannot read.

According to the report and the timeline, Abiola was already dead before that interview. So how would he head a GNU? From the grave?

So Ige and Adesanya who was shot at and almost murdered by Abachas goons now collected money to cover Abiola's killers? Jokers!!!

Did they collect money to kill, Pa Alfred Rewane? A major NADECO financier. Or Kudirat Abiola? And many more, silly fooools believing a torturer and killer that can't speak the truth.

Most of the dunlop Mumu foooools here were probably not even old enough to feed themselves when this issue occurred, they did not conciously witness Abacha and Mustapha the Gestapo killer in power. And they don't bother to read papers or study history, yet they are quick to believe a known murderer!!

Now where is the evidence he was screaming about? Where is it? Shey we need to wait another 12 years, while this killer feed fat in "detention" ?

Mumus following yeye.  Where the video now, show us how Ige and Adesanya were "unconciuosly complicit"

Nonsense!


@okada man, that u love Ige and Adesanya that much does not mean you pour venom as if your miserable life depends on it. E don reach fight? and why saying they did not collect money when Gani Adams(OPC) admitted he knew some leaders actually did(check other threads). The love for your leaders would never make you see things open-mindedly and making you use insane words (the way you were brought up anyway) whenever anyone says anything contrary to your view. Siddon dey look, exonerate them all.[/quote]

How would he(late Pa Adesanya) say he wouldn't know when asked about Abiola's death, why would he not want to talk about it? He preffered GNU to actualisation of june 12 and Abiola wouldn't head it. I smell a rat here. It was actualisation of june 12 before the meeting and GNU after

Why wont mojisola Dada allow the tape to be played and hey why is Wole Soyinka and Tinubu so quiet lately?

Chintua:
Real Tufiakwa!
Yoruba people are terrible.
THEY CAN NEVER BE TRUSTED!!!
Another evidence!
TWA!!!!

First to kill. . .first to reach graveyard to mourn.
God forbid!!!

The truth is now coming out!
Jehovah bu Eze!

Gbam!

I am no ethnic propagandist but i do not see any reason why some guys here would want to paint those indicted saints when those in the know eg Fasehun believes it until proven otherwise. Why not face the truth and we would learn how to move Nigeria forward.

Guys una don start again, instead of thinking of how to better our image out there, una dey shout. Shuoo! Wetin dey do una sef? All tribes are well represented in crime so stop this generalisation. I'm nwa afo Awka by the way

All the tribes are represented in the Lagos Civil service, same cannot be said about other states which is why they remain backward while Lagos marches into a brighter rewarding future, NOTE, No society truly develops by its own people alone.

</quote>

Lagos progress and development had nothing to do with diverse representation. It was doing very well fr centuries before other Nigerians knew there was a place called Lagos and how to get to it and it was only Yorubas in it and ruling it then. While diversity is good for some things its also destructive for the culture and some other things.[/quote]wrong!
Lagos was backward as every other part of the country and more backward to be used as a war camp(eko) by the binis before the advent of the colonialist. Lagos became more developed later due to its status as the nation's capital

We Nigerians have a problem which is stereotyping tribes and not focusing on the real issue at hand.
Ndigbo like money, Yorubas are dirty, Hausas sub-humans etc but the real issue - corrupt leaders everywhere. Let us forget the stereotyping and push these ingratious leaders out. My take

Ol'boy, i've nothn 2 say yet but . . . .some leaders actually sold Abiola off? They must be hanged a la tunisie

Why the brouhaha over nothing, atleast we voted them in didn't we? We too complain 4 Naija sef?

That was cool but i need to see some pix

usbcable:
the word ''Naija'' in Hindu means ''daughter of Wisdom'', with its origin from Arabic language.

@OP is Seun Osewa

ROTFLMAO

Shuoo!!! this kind epistle on top wetin? Abeg @poster, summarize

shadrach77:

@AK47Man, let me start with yours, first of all its not true GLO billboards were once destroyed, I used to live in NIG but i now live in Ghana cos i have dual citizenship (Nig & Gh and i have 2 passports), GLO, Mr Biggs, Chicken Republic, Zenith, GTBank, Intercontinental, Access Bank, Ovation House, and many other thousands of Nigerian companies are here and they are doing well, with no one pulling down their billboards, u said "i THINK there was a time when GLO, " please your source of info is untrue and if otherwise present link or editorial proof. Generally, Ghana is peaceful and very organized.

@lauretta12, You  are 65% correct, many Ghanaians are xenophobic, which is a very bad attitude; especially those of them who have never traveled, if they travel and understand what it means to be an alien in another country, they'll grow to change their attitude, and do u know they show such hatred even to other nationals like lebanese too? However, let me tell u a truth here Lauretta, in many cases, our own Nigerians disgrace our image in Ghana, about 26 who lived in the same neighborhood with me were arrested of minting Fake Ghana cedi a few years ago during the redenomination of cedi, besides, all of them who live close by ALWAYS dont live a calm, composed life, they open their stereos excessively loud and throw parties blocking minor roads without due authorization and legal backings, and i always call them and talk to them, look, many Nigerians deceive their parents that they r coming to school in Ghana, when they get here, they dont even school, some have stopped schooling and living big here with their school fees and the Ghanaians know and see it, (and Ghanaians naturally dont dare big things, either good or bad, they seem to be frightful and easily tamed). So basically, i tell u lauretta, their venom, suspicion and distrust for Nigerians is more than any other national becos our people too are too conspicuous and loud in most of the atrocities and illegal living here, Ghanaians too arent never saints, but Niger folks here makes theirs most times a red alert news cos of their modus operandi in doing the wrong.
Ghanaian Universities are for example, naturally not enlightened about occultism, unlike the way we have, Bucca, eye, Vikings, ,  blackbra, pink lady in our 9ja tertiaries, (which by God's grace is reducing now) etc, so i expect that, if a nigerian travel to a country like ghana, they shld live a comported life, especially since they know they are resented already, but they've been trying to establish it here and it keep failing cos the system here is not rightly enabled to make such occultism survive well althouggh there are faint traces.
I know of a few who are re-writing the story now by becoming good role models and representatives of ideal Nigeria here in Ghana.

@Proudigbo, yes, you sound unbiased. i like that. The Ghanaians may not be of good a character towards us, but we also dont have to give them more reasons to resent us. And believe me, there are very good Ghanaians, i'm a dual citizen and i'v lived both countries for over a decade each, i speak 3 languages very fluently from both sides, i believe i can tell a fair story on both ends.

Gbam!!! Well said. Our own too much 4 naija

[quote author=alj_harem link=topic=710844.msg8825189#msg8825189 date=1312102816]yes you are a igbo Ghanaian

cogitoErgo:
Is Nigeria really ticking? Or do you mean ticking as in timed bomb?

I mean what makes you proud as a Nigerian and you would want to tell the whole wide world that you love this country or are we saying there's nothing to be proud of?

Whenever onitsha is mentioned i can only picture a market place, MAY BE YOU SHOULD SHOW US PICTURES OF THE 'OTHER SIDE OF ONITSHA'

Ol'boy that was harsh abeg

Abeg not the usual tribal/ethnic squabble

ezeagu:
Na as in is? No. But words like sọsọ, e don te (ọ [b]tele[/u]), where im de (ebe ole ka ọ di, una, and of course expressions like 'chei', I think.

Nice one ezeuche, i have always wondered the origin of most words we use in pidgin and i  wont mind getting to know more
@Ileke-idi, orisha used in Brazil(god) and (I)susu in Jamaica(interest-free banking) does not mean yoruba nor Igbo is spoken in both places
