azimibraun: God thank u for making me b my brodas keeper and nt contributing in bringing pains and misery to anoda fellow and his family. I knw I am human and am nt perfect so I ddnt mock a Man who ddnt steal or kill or even lied bt jst ddnt knw d web address of his organisation. Ministers senators, house members and even very youngmen and women are abound who do not knw dis. May God judge us all accordingly. I neva and wld neva b part of this Man's misery. God gv him strenght and his family. Anybody who wear a shirt with dt inscription may jst b wearing his/her last shirt on earth. That woman's tears, her family and her husband wll bring misery upon such a person who promotes dia misery.

Gbawe: Look, don't take my utterances as criticism. I just dislike insincere utterance, for the sake of populism, that is starkly at odds with reality. The way I see it is that Nigerians are apathetic cowards. They will bash in the brains of commoners yet lie down supine in prostration and obeisance before the political thieves who have turned them into glorified beggars.

The youth especially are too divided, too shallow, too devoid of ideas, too distracted and too worthless at solutions provision to even be a shadow of the youths of other Nations. An inspired youth class get Nations out of trouble with their innovative endeavors everywhere.

That is not Nigeria and a realistic person will agree the best option remains to support those who can make a difference, like Fashola and Ribadu et al, till evolution lends a hand to aid us getting where we need to go. Which youth do you think will join you to hound their "own" all in the spirit of "let us get rid of these old thieving bastards" ? Don't you read comments here to note the same youths you have misguided hope in praising the 'recycling' of Anenih?

Why not try right now convening SS youths to support your group touting a talented Yoruba individual to depose GEJ? See if they will volunteer for such an "embrace merit" ideal once their own is the "victim". Who are those who dislike Fashola here the most? Are they not youths? Why don't you begin trying to get them support Fashola to replace GEJ considering all neutral folks and non-Nigerians don't even think Fashola and GEJ should be mentioned in the same sentence as far as administrative talent is concerned? These same youth will argue Fashola is the devil and GEJ is "the best President ever". I think you know the truth behind that flight of fantasy. Are they the same youth you want to partner with? March with a few youths and they will be the ones to plunge the knife in your back when they have been paid off. You should face the fact that your nation has serious problems revolving around a very morally compromised people. Non more indicative of this than "youths" . Solutions need to be pragmatic and realistic.

Had it been Nigerian youths were impressive, moderately principled and politically sophisticated then I would be more than happy to join you risking life and limb for change. I don't need to remind you of how the subsidy protest was turned into a "Yoruba and Hausa/Fulani plot against GEJ"? In virtually all nations on earth national unity, political maturity and oneness of purpose would make everyone see that it is plain wrong to support a very corrupt President who decided to punish poverty-addled Nigerians instead of tackle scammers and the sort of unacceptable theft he swore to protect Nigerians against.

Bottom line is that we have different beliefs. Your radical pontifications will never work and sound populist to me in face of what is on the ground. I think Nigerian youths were even more passionate and united in the days of Gani than today. You do your thing and I will do mine which revolves around senstitizing Nigerians to vote for the lesser devil instead of shouting unrealistically about a Jerry Rawlings 'cull' and suggesting 'saints' who cannot even deliver their streets. I just hope you can sometimes talk as if you recognize the reality on the ground. No one, anywhere, can deliver solutions until they understand the problem.

lagerwhenindoubt: The North Korean Government recently released the Driller H2B for commercial sales.
North Korea successfully tested this Underground-drilling nuclear device following a successful test of the Arrow 3 Missile interceptor by the Israeli Government.
The Driller H2B (Hydrogen2 Bomb) successfully drilled across the South Korean border then proceeded deep into the Mongolian Heights before being prevented by border-patrol for lack of a valid shengen visa.
Despite the hurdle, the Driller H2B has shown great promise as several high-profile buyers from the Middle-East and Northern Nigeria have already placed orders.

UN and NATO have instituted Sea/Air and Land blockades to prevent the Driller H2B from leaving North Korea. there are Rumours that some extremist elements Nort of Nigeria have offered a solution that will allow the North Koreans deliver the Driller H2B to any corner of the Middle-East and Africa. - - Under-fed Camels.

The Media is awaiting further information to confirm this new information

shymexx: Is the same thing not happening in Nigeria?? Political assassinations? Extra-judicial killings in the North and the bodies discovered in a river in eastern Nigeria this month Police killing people everywhere for no reason?? Terrorists and religious violence??

Don't even talk about armed robbers, kidnappers, andhigh poverty and unemployment rate...

Obviously, you don't really know what a miserable place is like, to be honest..

kay best: how are we sure the military men are not boko haram or other islamist sect.

Actionleap: APC keh?! Armored Personnel Carrier? Na war be dat o! How would greedy ACN (Baba Sope - Baba Talk sey) work with Buhari? Abi na ANPP wey sell Buhari to PDP. Unless dem don plan to sell Buhari to PDP again. Tom Ikimi as their spoke-person. Na wah for Naija o! All these goons are not different from PDP. Abi ACN wey don corner Lagos state and other ACN state for the Emperor of Bourdillion? What has any ANPP state governors achieved in their states? If their plan is to Islamise Nigeria, they've failed completely. Imagine the treasury of Nigeria in the hands of these crooks!

aribisala0: Many Igbos on this forum appear to place so much value in this business of being or not being a coward.I find this funny to be honest. So It is better to NOT be a coward or to prove you are not a coward and sacrifice the lives of millions of people. Cowardice and pragmatism on the one hand, Bravery and recklessness on the other may be two sides of the same coin and different currencies mean more to different peoples I suppose. That kind of resoluteness we saw in the Japanese who would then go on to commit suicide if they had been in Ojukwu's shoes but Ojukwu was not Japanese and people see the world differently.
Again many Igbos talk of Aburi . The reality is that Biafra was not in a position militarily to insist on Aburi or anything. It was defeated ab initio and the macabre dance of death that followed was an inevitable consequence of Ojukwu's choice. The issue is not who was right or wrong but a purely military one. Did the British discuss with anybody before amalgamating Nigeria in 1914? Why did we not go to war. Is it when an armed robber enters your house and point a gun at your son that you display bravery? Machismo is not bravery at all
Ojukwu had a bad hand if I may use a card metaphor. He had no good choices. No one is holding the Igbo down.Did Ojukuwu consult with the Non Igbo groups in Biafra and did they support him. As long as you open a Biafra debate you will find others who disagree with you.That will not change. You can always start the war again or get on with the current reality. What about the killings of Akintola,Sardauna,and others and Ironsi's handling of that affair is that not relevant too. The story has several sides to it.Not just an Igbo side

aribisala0: In times of tension we are ,all of us, capable of acting like a mob. today the government is at war with "BOKO HARAM" in our name. Do we question their methods? No. Many here on Nairaland cheer when they hear of more Boko haram fighter killings but atrocities are happening daily in "our name" and it is "okay" because Abokis are being killed. Do we question how many are innocent women or children? No. Somehow we tell ourselves they are in it together and deserve whatever they get.That kind of mindset is easy to produce using modern media . I am sure somthing similar happened in "Nigeria" during the Biafra war. We must somehow be able to rise above hurt and see things as they really are. We are all capable of the ALUU killings and a lot worse we are also capable of a lot better and hopefully we are in a position to make the right choices.Those who insist on being victims punish themselves and no one.Are we not all victims of Nigeria,the British

aribisala0: No you should not forget.But you can either find a way to move on or start another war.If we decide to revisit the history there are many versions and there will never be agreement of whose version is more accurate. War is not a football game and Ojukwu must have known the consequences of his declaration ; defeat was ALWAYS going to be devastating. We all know what led to it but was his option the solution ? We can argue that till Ojukwu resurrects but if you go to war you cannot then turn around and say the enemy played dirty.That is naive when you are fighting for your existence NOTHING is dirty. LESSON: Don't go to war unless you will win.
Well what determined the outcome and that Nigeria remained together then will determine again ; Foreign Powers like the UK and The US NOT Nigeria's might. Did Ojukwu check with them before going to war? All round his endeavour was naive and always doomed and he like others on the Nigerian side must share responsibility for the needless deaths of thousands.
Now the war is over and the some people won't let go. Well no point shouting from the rooftops start another war but be better prepared this time

kettykin: Judging from the Antecedents of the Fulani. i think some major issues is at stake because if the fulani strike back like they have been doing to the TIVs, Beroms ,Nassarawa Eggon and Abuja Gwari then the Taroks will be mobilising for a full scale war

valicious1: Afam4eva, abagworo, o'boy okija_juju,& nri priest I beg y'all in d name of God or whoever/whatever you guys serve, what y'all did to d "what is imo state known for" thread is still a nightmare to me. Y'all are terrorists that shouldn't be allowed to comment on any public forum. Your posts are like extremely sharpened swords coated with undiluted acids & hot flames which you've continually pierced & tortured our hearts with. Why the much hate amongst yourselves? This is Extremely pathetic.

nagoma: I have always had the confidence that the true chistians will raise their hands and voices in the end. The present CAN is the religious wing of the PDP as indicated by the catholic church. The Anglicans should not delay. They can't live with untruth.

spyder880: Ewi is not the grasscutter, ewi is a giant bush rat. The grasscutter is called 'nchi', huge, wild and very tasty meat much more expensive than beaf. We drive more than 5 kiloeters to villages to eat well prepared grasscutters with palm wine and it aint cheap.

Tusky44: Imo state is known for education. It stands behind Anambra in producing world renowned brains but far behind when it comes to business and entrepreneurship. Anambra is the father and mother of all Igbo land.

berem: Ogusbaba don turn female. wonders shall never end.

the man must be a weakling. the woman na real hitler. but i can't imagine fighting because of a man. No man is worth it at all.
