When will the rest of the world stop bowing to the US and stop them from dictating how they live their lives?

Meanwhile, una no dey watch Ghana match?

Bluetooth, how old are you? You really sound so immature. See how others back their claims with facts and you just mutter things without basis,

My own experiences have not been the best. Being a moslem certainly is not easy both with getting a visa and actually travelling.

This Farouk boy is certainly not what we needed at this time.

If you pretend your past did not exist, then be prepared to repeat the same mistakes you made over and over again.

And after they stood up, what happened? Talking too much and not having any action to back it up is just a waste of time. That is why you keep on blaming the Igbos for going to war without a weapon. Only a courageous man will prefer to die fighting with his bare hands rather than see his kits and kins killed.

When you say something, don't leave the country when things become rough. Hang around and rough it out!!

People were not sent to war without guns. I truly feel you should read about this war before you comment. Ojukwu's father owned most of Ikoyi including the house of the old JAMB office with transport companies all over the country. He inherited almost 80 million pounds worth of assets round the country not just in the east so he had a lot to loose. People the Igobs went into the war willingly because they were wounded.

Would you become subservient to someone if he wants to kill you and exterminate your family because you lack the means to defend yourself? I count that a mark of bravery.

Another thing I find amusing is the suggestion that the Niger Delta was one of the reasons the war was fought. Absolutely not. The Niger Delta was lost early in the war and the war continues for more than 2 years after that. If that was a point of disagreement, the Igbos will have surrendered earlier on.

The Hausa people have seen that there was no consequence of the genocide perpetrated against the Igbos in the 60s and have continued to do the same thing on and on. I believe that people of western extraction should realise that as long as they don't stand up to the Northerners just as the easterners did in the 60s, the Northern domination of the Nigerian political scene will not cease. That is why a president will be sick and out of the country and everyone is keeping quiet. Ask yourself, if this president were from the west or east, will this be the case?

The Niger Deltans that feel that they are loved by all because of the crude oil in the region, let me ask you, do you think the Northern cabals will relinquish power to your brother who is the vice president?

We need to inform ourselves by reading about our past and then we can make good judgements without being affected by our own prejudice.
