StaffofOrayan:


Yes! you lost the war woefully and still got 20 pounds,
Most of you got your properties back!
Look at Gaza and understand what war means

Logical argument is difficult for you. I will .

stuffs2002:


The Ogonis fared better because they own their lands which the IIGB0S wanted to collect from them

....And the Igbos killed Saro Wiwa and the Ogoni 9 because of Ogoni land? I always laughed with relish whenever my project took me to Ogoni land, their kids walking around almost naked on bare feet within a terribly degraded environment - I the book, 'sunset at dawn' and how Ken sold out. He is continuing the fight now from wherever he is. The North remains Ogoni's best friend

StaffofOrayan:


What exactly did you think would happen?
That You would have access to your funds to prosecute the war?
You lost your money, that should have been the end of that story,
Infact in most civil wars, whole ethnicities are systematically wiped out
But Awolowo was a gentleman, if not you would all be muslims by now

None of these bears any relationship to our argument. You said the Nigerian government dashed igbos money after the war. that is the crux of my argument. All these tonnes of bull you are trying to share doesn't concern me

ShescreamEWOOO:
i would have called you a liar but that won't be fair because maybe this is how your parents told you the story.

Let me educate you, before the war, ojukwu told your people to change their Nigeria currency to biafra notes, many igbos did but ojukwu himself never did, unfact ojukwu was busy robbing central banks i.e the central bank in my city benin.

After the war, ojukwu himself ran away with Nigerian currency. The igbos that have their money in Nigerian notes were paid back by the exact amount, the ones ojukwu were able to deceive to change their notes to biafra notes were paid 20 pounds each.
The 20 pounds was a gift.

Nobody ever lost a war and got paid, biafra were paid, as at 1970 20 pounds can comfortably buy a land.

I take it you are a living witness and saw everything first hand since according to you my father misled me. My father did not author all of the books I have read on post civil war in Nigeria. Read wide on the history before, during and post that war. Just to add, Ojukwu funded the war mostly with his father's wealth.

StaffofOrayan:


Oga what do you think war means?
U young boys think war is some game where everything returns to default after the conflict!
In war people lose life, property and sanity!!!

You claimed Nigeria gave the losers money. I sought to burst your bubble. Don't derail from the argument

Ironbull:
And may I ask my people "who then led igbo to Gowon to slaughter them?" I mean who took arms against the Fed govt of then that led to the massacre, has any of my people intelligent enough to ask Ojukwu this question? No absolutely no, only busy pointing accussed fingers to Gowon, Awolowo etc "if a wall is not cracked open lizards can never hide inside.

Our own person for a reason that can be talked out on round table discussion took arms against the govt even without due consultation with the elders he went to a war and 3million souls perished and no one dare ask him or question him it is a big
f u c k e r y, how dare him?

Abeggy no one should annoy me this morning. Amadioha fire Ipob.

Igbos have a name for wayward children like you. There might be a need for DNA test to determine your true root. And No, I don't even know what IPOB is or stands for. I still argued with my townsman over the MNK stupidity and the other one abroad but as for the war stories, go and read Emeka Madiebo's book. It was your then elders that gave Ojukwu the go ahead to declare Biafra seeing the number of dead and decapitated bodies being brought in from Northern Nigeria on a full scale massacre. May I never be related to something like you. Tufiakwa

StaffofOrayan:
Over the last 40 years nearly 20 African countries (or about 40 percent of Africa south of the Sahara (SSA)) have experienced at least one period of civil war.

Why Are There So Many Civil Wars in Africa? Understanding and Preventing .

Make Una rest abeg,
Of all the civil wars in Africa, only Nigeria gave money to the losers of the war! Una no go move on?

This is the consequence of not teaching history in schools. Nigeria gave money to the losers by freezing all their s and ensuring everyone with an received 20 pounds only irrespective of how much deposit they had in their ? Arguing with Nigerians can be annoyingly irritating because they don't know and don't also wish to learn

naptu2:

The same Nigeria where Igbos were being sought out and killed and decapitated in the North? The same Nigeria where cries of Ariba rented the air with every swish of a machete severing any and every available igbo man? we will never forget and our children will be taught to never forget.

naptu2:

Lies and more lies. Listen from 9.45 to 10.45 and tell me we are being true to ourselves as a country. There is a reason the good Lord is keeping him alive. I believe same reason the likes of IBB shall never taste death for a long time to come.

phemray:



He travelled how many roads out of thousands of roads across Nigeria. He only went to where he has interest because of meeting what of the roads other people are using? Yes, good he said it can not be fixed overnight and that they should prioritise completing the existing ones. Where are the governors and representative of the states and LG where the road ed. When obi was a governor, what was his efforts in completing existing roads. PDP did not believe in infrastructures then. Were the federal roads in Anambra completed? No. Roads were awarded and politicians used it to suffer Thier people because of elections campaign. If he is the president, he will concentrate on other roads and not the ones he ed because he will not have any reason to there. The federal ministry of works has Thier strategy and they are doing it.

With people thinking the way you do, I have no hope in this nation. They are using our commonwealth to buy SUVs, refurbish the VPs accommodation, buy new jet in a fleet with other aircrafts, building new coastal road to nowhere and we are busy defending mediocrity. It is well with you people.

yemmight:
Obi is just making effort in futility.

Yemi listen to yourself. How does your comment address the point Obi raised with ing evidence. Must everything be politics? I don't even believe that Obi has the answer to the deep rooted and well seated problems but when someone highlights glaring issues, isn't it commonsensical that we should review them and make meaningful comments? Except we are bereft of ideas.

Mahenson:
Thats true.
I am under a 33000KVA transmission line presently and the kind of sound emanating from the transmission line is terryfying.
Nigerians abeg make una take am easy dey pressurize Tinubu istration. I am his adernt critic but from what am experiencing from the Powerline, it seems they are under serious pressure to restore the power.

Abeg my country people make we take am easy small even though them no send us.

Bro, if the kitchen is hot, take your leave. Tell those barawos doing us dirty that this is what is required of them

joeyswift:
Do not trust anybody to handle a project for you. Not in this T-pain time not ever. In 2007, A benin woman returned home after all her unspoken hustle in Italy, only for her brother who was entrusted with the building of some properties for her in nigeria to tell her there is nothing. The woman recounted the things she did to make money,then lost her sanity. Till date she isn't normal.

On the boldened . How would you know? Is she your family?

President Olusegun Obasanjo's tribute to General Gowon at the pre-birthday public lecture yesterday.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yy4sXscRJkc?si=PnO-WYJQdYERyK8M

Presidency Nigeria @NGRPresident

May Baba Gowon continue to live and may the good Lord give him the clarity of mind to continue to witness the decimation of his people whom he used as foot soldiers ed by the fulanis in killing over 3million innocent mothers and children during a needless civil war for the singular reason that a people chose to exercise their right to self-determination because the contraption called Nigeria no longer wanted them, and still doesn't. You don't want me to stay and you still don't want me to go.

In the lyrics of Robert Nestar Marley...Many more will have to suffer, many more will have die, don't ask me why....

I just wasted data watching rubbish

Please don’t mind this eeeddiiootic op

Nothing is in the video

Hungry bloggers

Please don’t watch

I wish I read this earlier

Slimm01:
You are talking balderdash. Play what match? In that state of anguish and exhaustion? Common sense should tell you that they would have lose that match. Even CAF knows this.

Not just the likelihood of loss but perchance they win, how many of them will come out of that pitch alive.

sisisioge:
But if he apologizies, he will be indirectly affirming the claim that he bribed his way out of prison nau. Which kind wahala be this?

You are very smart and such an apology will seal VDMs fate. Many dummies in this forum can't see the method in the madness of the Falanas. They are being deliberate in their approach

lacasera14:
Are they just waking up? The corruption in Nigerian universities are the same with the political setting. Unical is my alma mater and although I can't speak about corruption in my department because it was alien, other departments are deep in the abyss of this menace, including those ones that are supposed to take care of lives.

I am a malabite and this was anathema during my time, at least in my faculty. Back then, 3 carry-overs out of 5 courses meant automatic withdrawal for the student. (Asari Dokubo then Melford Goodhead) was a recipient of this favour, among others. Even the lady who scored highest during JAMB (394) was asked to withdraw in the second semester because she had her limit on carry overs.

laxxy:
Let's stop living in the past , they have said their thank you and moved on , or are we supposed to behave like our colonial masters and hold that as a chain over them?

To the extent that they behave as if they have forgotten this sacrifice or that it ever happened, we will continue to remind them Sir. No vex

KingCold:
It's not my perspective, it's a fact! you guys brag a lot about having doctors, plumbers, and carpenters in the UK, whereas It would make more sense if you boasted of a working health system where your doctors wouldn't even need a reason to seek greener pastures abroad.

Again sir, mobility of labour is legitimate. Do you really have issues with people choosing where to ply their trades and services? Surprising.

Questionnairae:
An Apple a Day
Keeps the Doctor Away

When last did you eat an apple and how much is it in your area?

This is the smallest variety that used to sell for ₦60, but I bought it for ₦350 yesterday.

I still have some in my fridge. It's not that bad yet and will never be. I buy from the supermarket outside my estate and honestly I don't know the cost. It just goes into the total list of what I am paying for. I don't check those things because it changes nothing. It's someone sef that drew my attention to cost of crate of egg when he complained loudly about the cost. God no go shame us. Up Teepayne.

KingCold:
You always need to go outside your country to do anything of insignificance, this is not a flex bro, it's an indication fn the failure that is your country

That's your perspective. Of the over 220m Nigerians, how many are abroad and how many are staying back and making Nigeria work. You rely on what you were told which won't be bad if it were to be authentic and authoritative.

I am not in least surprised. I expect nothing less.

RealDaughter:


Am in full ,I repeat ,Am in full

Dummies and frustrated people everywhere. No be you alone Teepayne dey affect. Carry your frustration elsewhere

[quote author=hardbody post=132439142][/quote]

I never thought for a second that you are Nigerian. A full blooded Nigerian can be smelt from 100km away. You don't even have what it takes to anything close to a Nigerian

Calitoscassius:
Yes, i am ing them! Until Naigeeria fix their atitude and treatment towards their own citizens and corruptions, they shouldn't complain about any martreatments by foreigners.


I am not entirely Naigeerian but i am quite happy being identified or decribed as Nai
Cheers!

KingCold:
Whcih war did you fight? Which Nigerian died?
No amount of forcing yourselves in our political narrative will work with me. You cant even fight for you country choosing to japa away instead

Even if you are a kid, seems they don't teach history in your schools. And yes mobility of labour is legit. It is fine if you and your ilk don't have what it takes to work outside your jurisdiction but Nigerians are excelling globally. It is called mobility of labour and yes, a lot of other foreign citizens are also here in Nigeria

KingCold:
You have no clue what happens in SA that's why you'll spew this drivel.. if you knew what South Africans were up against with all these immigrants esp Nigerians, Zimbabweans, Mozambicans, Pakistanis etc..you'll keep quiet. You're not these helpless victims you make yourselves out to be.


Also, stop this hypocrisy people, Nigerians are the worst tribalists in Africa and yet scream Xenophobia the most, how does that work exactly? you hate and don't tolerate each other but throw a fit when South Africans do the same towards you.. it's ridiculous

We fucccking fought for your freedom from apartheid. It seems y'all are suffering from selective amnesia. Low lives

Callosobruchus:
Is Nigeria going to lost the 3 points should they not play while Libya gain them as a walk over?Or would CAF and/or FIFA place some punitive measures on Libya?These are my questions.

Whatever CAF decides is fine. Let those guys come back first. What guarantee do we have that even if we play and win that there won't be hostlitities targeted at the players? The way they are behaving, who will provide security for our team and crew in the event the crowd goes haywire?

Resurrection212:
If that's how his brother played politics would he be two times governor?

Nigeria na cruise. He even suspended his brother .

Game on!!!
