Warri town has always been a favourable ground for us. Nationale use to pick up points there during the days of NNPC. This same NNPC later contributed some players to Nationale in the late 80s/90s. Friday Elaho, Cyril Levi etc who played for Nationale where brought from NNPC Warri.
I can one match Emesi Okereke grabbed a hat trick against NNPC.
UP Heartland.

When are we playing?.

A thread about Awolowo and Alams, yet Ojukwu once again takes the centre stage. Shame to you all bigots.

My fellow Heartland fans, don't worry about the loss today. It's only the beginning. Anagi eji ututu ama njo ahia. The boys from Arugo are able.

History can be made a sub section under culture.

Onlytruth for now till the next election in November .

ACM10:
We had a debate on the issue of Fajuyi sacrificing himself for Ironsi to live. In that debate, I quoted a Northern author who interviewed an active participant in the murder of Gen. Ironsi(I can't the name of the officer now). Besides, I can't dig my post history since I'm posting with my phone.
My quote was culled from the book "GOWON" written by a political science professor of University of Jos. The author is also from Plateau state.

On the other hand, another officer who took part in the coup operation in Ibadan revealed that Fajuyi actually betrayed Ironsi.

I'd rather believe the of the actual participant than that of a hack journalist.

There is nothing to suggest that Fajuyi betrayed Ironsi. I wonder where that comes from. Ironsi's ADC was interviewed sometime ago and he didn't say that Fajuyi betrayed Ironsi.
Fajuyi had no reason to die. The coupist were after Ironsi and Igbo military officers, yet a neutral Yoruba was killed. He could have been killed because he did not consent to the arrest of Ironsi in Yorubaland.

Andre, congrats on the arrival of the new baby. Ihe Nwa ga-eri a gaghi ako gi. Nne na nna ga-adi ndu zuo Nwa ma rikwa uru di na Nwa.

Thanks

To the 3 contestants: Onlytruth, Alex and Biafra rep.
Do you think it's proper for Ndigbo to honour a Yorubaman-Fajuyi who died defending Aguiyi Ironsi an Igbo head of state?

donchris999: @andre uweh iwu kwa nwannem o. Isinweke? Hahahahaha..... Ima bossman hotel, madonna science school, st. Peter seminary ihitte/uboma (my alma mater), ajaelo family, fidelis ozichukwu, emekoroha, eze chukwu family. Nwanne abum nwanne emeka nwajiuba na umuezela nsu. Hahahaha, isinweke bu ebem. Otegho kwanu muwa gara isinweke. Anyway, anyi na wa akwa n'afo a.

Nwanne, I know everyone you mentioned here. I was with the Emeakarohas last year in Kent, England. I have many friends from Umuezeala Nsu including the current Imo state APGA deputy chairman-UD Ejelonu.
Anwunno.

I never knew I commented in this thread.

Dudu_Negro: Andre, may God Bless Iheanetu. What is the meaning of his name?

Iheanetu means what is desired. Some other Igbo communities will call it Iheanacho or Ifeanacho.
In Yoruba, it goes like this: Ohun Timofe (Mofe). My Yoruba is not very good, though I do better in speaking it.
According to the tradition of my people, this child is my grandfather that raised me, he has come back to my family. A sort of reincarnation.
This is what I so much desired and I have it now. It is confirmed from a man well-versed in Ifa and aja with over 90 years experience.
Negro, do not take away Christianity from me. Am a Chrstian but we have a culture in Isinweke where I come from. Am happy.
Back to the thread, am much into the race but will congratulate any of us that emerges as the Eze. There are so many distinguished Ndigbo in nairaland whom I feel are equal to the task aside mu. E.g
One-naira. This young boy has Igbo feelings written all over him. He has always campaigned for the unity of Ndigbo irrespective of South east or south south zone. He narrowly missed out last term, some claimed he was in hospital that period.
Pazienza: A proud Igbo, well traveled all over Igboland and is always ready to die for Ndigbo.
ACM10: Very well read, not afraid to say the truth and always backs up his comments with proofs.
Onlytruth: Very innovative, an intellectual, team leader and a future Nigerian head of state.
Lots of them.

Ojiofor: I still doubt very much that Okija juju is an Igboman talkless of aspiring to be an Eze Igbo nairaland,he must be stopped and I advice we elect someone whose Igboness is not in anyway in doubt.

Arusi Okija is an Igboman to the core. It has been ascertained long time. While Ndu-Chuks probably grew up in Igboland or has lived in Sabon Gari areas of the north. Probably the later as he speaks Yoruba as well.

My nominations goes in this order:
One-naira
Pazienza
ACM10

Syncan: O kwa munwa bu Syncan kenere Andre_Uweh nke Iwuanyanwu national,si kwa ya ka o binye aka na Biafra Rep, Andrew Uweh e binyeghi aka ya ebe ahu, Andre Uweh e keneghi Syncan. E chere m na onye kenee soni, soni e kenee ya, hmm, anya ka m no ele Andre Uweh.

Nwanne, aghotaram ihe i dere. Mana ka osi na adi, obim noo na i bu Eze Ndigbo. Ejighi m ujoo too okorobia.

Udo diri gi.

Dudu_Negro: Andre, you born pikin? boy or girl? congratulations, give am Yoruba name.

no carry am go village o, bad boys no discriminate for age, everything na for snatch. God Bless the new born and protect am.

Thanks Negro nts. Na boy. His Igbo name is Iheanetu, you may give him the Yoruba version. Meanwhile, the vacant position here is well suited to me. What do you think?.

isale_gan2:

Andre,

You're a new papa? I'm so happy for you. Congratulations!!!

Thanks, just an addition.

ndu_chucks:

Your list is incomplete nwanne. Please give us a few names of Igbo Army Officers who were spared because they did not resist arrest during the Nzeogwu Igbo coup.

I have not justified the killing of Bello by the coupists. Till this day, many Nigerians believe in their charms for protection while some believe in their guards. It is not enough when compared with khaki boys with fingers on their triggers. Bello wasn't meant to be killed but usurped. He never took them serious when they stormed his home. Its a pity. Whether you are a politician or a businessman or any profession, fear the man whose hand is on a trigger.

Shagari did not resist arrest, and he was spared. Shonekan did not resist handing over to Abacha, and his life was spared. If you are a civilian and you resist military takeover, then something dreadful might happen as in the case of Ahmadu Bello.

Wow, a lot of water has ed under the bridge. Where have I been?. Anyway, been too busy with Child birth. The thread is so long now and I cant read all. Odumchi has resigned?. Why did he resign?.
@The electoral team, the office of Eze Ndigbo (Nairaland )suits me and am prepared to serve my people. Is this coming too late?. If so, can I nominate someone else, or is it too late as well?.
Ndigbo, uwa dikwara unu mma.

bilms: Stop mixing things up. Yoruba, Hausa, Igbo are tribes.

this is 21st century and you are still stuck with tribes. It is archaic and outdated.
Anyway, my own nation is the Igbo nation and we are an ethnic group.

bilms: @andrew, we listing tribes not ethnic group. Yoruba is a tribe,ijebu etc are ethnic groups under yoruba

Yoruba and Igbo are ethnic groups.
I guess you mean ethnicities instead of tribes.
Ijebu, Ngwa, Owerri, Umuahia, Ijesha, Ekiti, Nnewi etc all come under Yoruba and Igbo ethnic groups.
@the op, can you not use tribe for our nations.

kingoflag:

OH MY GAWD, IM ARGUING WITH A BLEEDING ILLITERATE!!!

Does the fact that I said Ojukwu OBVIOUSLY insisted on witnessing Ken Saro-Wiwa getting executed, AND SIGNED HIS DEATH CERTIFICATE/ AS A GOVERNMENT WITNESS ON BEHALF OF ABACHA --- AS REVENGE FOR HIS "BETRAYING" BIAFRA --- now translate into me saying he "caused" his death?

Are you that daft?

Did Ojukwu sign Saro-Wiwa's death document as what?. governor of his state, president of Nigeria or what. All this falsehood about Ojukwu has really got to stop.

Afam4eva:
Utomi is a good candidate but is not popular. We want someone that will pull a large following that will lead to millions of votes. Okorocha and Ngige can do that but not Utomi.

any of the three is ok for me. Anything less, count me out.
