Posted By: Biafran Sympathiser Posted On: Jun 22, 2010 Views: 793	tamuno daniels The Efiks and Ijaws can have Efikland or Ijawland if that would make them happy or they may remain part of Nigeria. Nobody, I repeat nobody is forcing minorities in Eastern Nigeria to be part of Biafra. The problem with Nigeria is lack of a level playing field and different values and work ethics. You can be part of Nigeria with double standards. Repeated Northern leadership have invested Billions of Naira on irrigation and attempts to minimise desert enchroachment but very little done to tackle the environment in the Niger Delta. Repeated governments refused or played lip service to the second Niger bridge until Jonathan came onboard. It takes sometimes over 24 hours to travel from Western Nigeria to Eastern Nigeria. These are some of the reasons why Biafra may be a viable option for the long suffering people of Eastern Nigeria.

Posted By: tamuno daniels Posted On: Jun 21, 2010 Views: 597	shame Its such a shame that Nigerians are still speaking of seperation( first comments), how many countries of the world have had the kind of problems we have and are still one nation? Nigeria is more than unique. I believe strongly in Nigeria( we 2 much). Now for my igbo brothers still believing in Biafra, do they think if this country is to divide the'll have only Nigeria and Biafra? Are u still counting the Efiks and Ijaws as Biafrans? I pity you. Upon the cheating and every crimes committed, NIGERIA STILL AND WILL STAND.

Please, Yoruba, Igbo and Hausa. The way things are, have to peacefully disintegrate if we can be cannot hold breath. Today zoning, tomorrow biafra, next Oduduwa republicnext Arewa. Let us peacefully depart. Nigeria was formed on falsehood, hence the hullabaloo. Break this nonsense called Nigeria.Na him be the koko

Let me tell you something my dear, wake from your sleep because the day is already bright. If you did not know where the rain started biting you, then you will never know where you dried your body. I strongly believe that you are nowhere close to being(Ada-igbo)If you are, then you need to go home more often in order to fell the havoc this one Nigeria have coursed us. The only solution to all these problem is Biafra actualization. Nigeria will know no peace until Biafra is free. Ndewo Nne.
Posted By: Kendo Posted On: Jun 18, 2010 Views: 820	Re: Chika Ngozi Chika Ngozi, I have not insulted anybody. I only replied a Yoruba boy who failed to understand why we talk of Biafra. His father is the best person to explain to him, and that can only take place when he is drunk. (Take it or leave it) Meanwhile, if the North is using divide and rule to destroy the South. Who are those Southerners? Are they not the same Yoruba people? Who told you that the Yoruba’s will ever be comfortable support your quest for Biafra? Have you ever imagined who the Igbos greatest enemies in Nigeria are? Do you think that the North is the Igbo greatest enemy in Nigeria? Those who do not know when the rain started falling on them will never know when it stopped. The problem we have in Nigeria is trying to live pretentiously that all is well. When I talk about the Yorubas, I talk about them because I have ample evidences to support whatever I say. Crosscheck the history of Nigeria and tell me who contributed to all the problems Igbos are facing today? Do you think they have repented? They have not repented my friend. Only events contrary to their quests will force them to repent. Until the time comes, do not trust them. The North can never have the power to do whatever they like in Nigeria if not for the support of the Yoruba’s. I am not writing to please you thus you may stop reading whatever I write on this forum. I do not expect anybody to be happy when the truth is told. Life will be meaningful for everyone from the day we learn how to make a change anytime we hear the truth. Yesterday, it was the Igbos, Today it is Jonathan. Tomorrow it might be the Yorubas once again. They will surely need the support of the Igbos someday………………… Chika Ngozi, I know you are a Yoruba man but feel free to answer any name that soothes you.

Posted By: Concern Naija Man Posted On: Jun 18, 2010 Views: 614	Ofeke Wentin concern Biafra man with naija issues? Double talk, I think. We dont need your advise. Concentrate your efforts on realization of Biafra you hear!.
Posted By: Chika Ngozi Posted On: Jun 18, 2010 Views: 598	Kendo I am just fed up with some of your write-ups. It makes no sense and it is giving the Igbos bad name. Try for once to be decent. A boy called Yorubaman posted an harmless writeup in the forum to dose tension and you went ahead to start abusing his father. Do unto other what you want them to do to you. Have you ever asked yourself, Can Igbo do it alone? Some idiots are busy using divide and rule to tear the southern Nigeria apart [igbo, youruba, ijaw ect] and you are aiding them. How are sure those posting articles in this forum are not these same set of people who do not want southern unity? where are the southern Nigeria governor forum? Can you see how vocal the Northern governors are? Wake up man and let give peace a chance.
Posted By: SQUAD Posted On: Jun 18, 2010 Views: 602	BBC writer saw what I saw... what next? "Nigeria midfielder Sani Kaita had the thousand-yard stare and weary, monotone voice of a man who had quickly grasped the impact of his actions as he answered questions about the red card he was given during Thursday's match against Greece. The match turned completely on his moment of madness after 33 minutes, with the Super Eagles 1-0 lead eventually becoming a bruising and costly 2-1 defeat. "I am sorry for the whole of Nigeria," said Kaita, who understandably looked like he would be just about anywhere else rather than in front of the semi-circle of journalists attempting to establish with almost forensic detail his version of events. "It was not the right thing to do and I hope it will not happen again. I made a mistake. That is all." Highlights - Greece beat Nigeria Korea (UK only) Kaita had tangled with Vassilis Torosidis, who later scored the winning goal, as they competed for the ball close to the touchline. The Nigerian aimed a kick in the direction of his opponent's leg and Torosidis went down holding his face, in what was an unseemly if hardly surprising example of the win-at-all costs philosophy that besmirches the modern game. The whole incident was regrettable and ended with Kaita taking a long and slow march across the pitch to the dressing room. Kaita watched on television as Greece's wily old coach Otto Rehhagel swiftly abandoned his ultra-defensive formation in favour of a rarely glimpsed attacking ambition that saw his team record their first victory at a World Cup. Nigeria veteran Kanu revealed that the red card had left the 24-year-old Kaita in tears. Kaita himself said that he had been surprised to be dismissed but team-mate Yakubu, who failed to convert an excellent second-half chance, felt that it was the right decision. "He was a little bit carried away but will learn from the mistake," said the Everton striker. There can be no doubt that playing for Nigeria brings huge expectations from a fanatical and expectant public. "There are 150 million of them and all of them think they are a manager or a coach," added Yakubu. Shortly before the World Cup the Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan said: "I expect the Super Eagles to prepare well and win this trophy." However, this Nigerian team were always unlikely to be able to match Jonathan's unrealistic ambition. This is Nigeria's fourth World Cup campaign but they only just scraped through qualification, needing a late Obafemi Martins goal to defeat Kenya, while Mozambique stunned Tunisia. Nigeria have some excellent players, such as goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama, full-back Taye Taiwo and forward Peter Odemwingie. They also have players with superb potential, such as 19-year-old midfielder Lukman Haruna. But they are without the injured John Obi Mikel in South Africa and are not of the same standard of many of the Super Eagles teams that have played with such flair over the last decade and a half. They lack the creativity that was provided by the likes of Sunday Oliseh, Finidi George and Jay-Jay Okocha. Their Swedish coach Lars Lagerback was appointed in February, but did not hold his first training session with his players until 20 May and had just three friendlies to settle upon a formation. Nigerian managers such as Samson Siasia, Oliseh and Stephen Keshi would have been potentially interested but were overlooked, while Lagerback beat off competition from Glenn Hoddle and Sven-Goran Eriksson to land the role. But if his appointment was based on his coaching experience with his native Sweden at the 2002 and 2006 finals, then I don't think his decision making on Wednesday vindicated the decision. Rehhagel, who presided over Greece's remarkable Euro 2004 triumph, changed his side's entire strategy four minutes after Kaita was dismissed by taking off a defender and bringing on a forward. Lagerback waited until the break to make a change, replacing Odemwingie with Chinedu Obasi and sending his team out for the second-half with Yakubu as the lone striker and two banks of four behind him. By that time, however, the damage had been done. The momentum of the match had changed irreversibly and a Greek side that appeared to be slipping out of the tournament were reinvigorated - as well as on level terms. I also think that Lagerback made a mistake in playing Yakubu for the entire 90 minutes. Surely as the match wore on the striker should have been replaced by the fresh legs of the pacey Martins? "Every four years there is a World Cup and qualifying from the group is decided in just three games," mused Lagerback, who knew the structure of the competition and indeed the composition of Nigeria's group before he accepted the job. However, all is not yet lost for the Super Eagles and their fanatical fans as Thursday's result leaves Group B fascinatingly poised with one round of games left. Argentina have six points and take on Greece, who have three thanks to their win over Nigeria. South Korea, thumped 4-1 by Argentina in the group's other match on Thursday, have three points after defeating Greece, and take on Nigeria. "We have one more game to go and we will keep fighting and see how it goes," added Yakubu, who clearly has not given up on the possibility of reaching the round of 16. But with Kaita suspended and Taye Taiwo, who possesses an excellent long-range shot, injured, it will take a remarkable upturn in fortunes if the rock-bottom Super Eagles are to soar up Group B and snatch second place. You can follow me throughout the World Cup at twitter.com/Paul__Fletcher ---------------------------------------------------------- Nigerians, read my yesterday's submission entitled: "UP KAITA: no suprises..." Read on: Sani Kaita is a reflection of how Nigeria works in real life! The Igbo salvages a situation (Uche's goal), and a Hausa destroys all the achievement (Sani Kaita)! This also happens in the nigerian government and other lucrative ministries! This cow Kaita kicked an innocent, harmless Greek player for nothing sake! Terrorist on the football pitch! Don't ever worry Kaita, Lulu your brother will pat you on the back for your childish action! Remember that I wished Eagles Happy 1st round! after which they'll board the next available flight home from South Africa 2010! Since Nigeria has so much money to throw away, they should increase Lagerback's current salary of Two hundred thousand dollars a month to one million dollars a month; idiots!!! Lagerback is not the man for Eagles, period! Why should this man bench Obafemi Martins for instance! Kanu never kicked a ball! Why did some of the Eagles players go to South Africa; just to collect appearance fee? Oh yes!!! You wanna tell me that Eagles would have performed this bad if keshi or Siasia, or even Amodu was at the helm? I don't think so! Lagerback deceived the sheepish NFF with claiming to know all the Eagles players inside out! Not true; he doesn't know them at all! The play is still awful; no cohesion!!! I thought Austin Eguavon is said to assist this Lagerback, but nobody saw Eguavon's face, because it's possible that Lagerback refused to listen to the guy who knows Eagles better! Don't ever lay all the blame on the players. Lagerback has no fire! The new Super Eagles should be handed over to Siasia and assisted by Jay Jay Okocha! England's coach Capello knew the importance of Beckam, and requested that he joins the players as sort of morale boosting! In Nigeria's case, Okocha was warned by NFF to stay away!! have you guys seen Ghanaian players? This guys mean business on the pitch! Path of the motivation is from their coach! Nigeria keeps wasting time and money!!!! As long as Lulu and co. are occupying that football house, nothing good will ever come from Eagles! * Can you even imagine in the whole wide world that Lulu and co are talking about extending lagerback's contract, after visibly showing that he belongs to his past glories? * NFF want to be giving this Swede coach a whooping $200,000 thousand dollars a month for absolutely nothing!!!! I'm happy that an outsider saw what I saw in the present sloppy Eagles!!

Why do these people think power should be ceded to the North when they have ruled Nigeria since independence except the Obasanjo and Ironsi period? 2. Jonathan must act swiftly to counter the threat which may affect the stsbility of the nation. 3. Why do the North insist on the Presidency (except to plunder the nation)?

BP has not slept neither has Obama, the oil company’s misdeed (accident or no accident) is synonymous with murder. Environmentalists are huffing and puffing, rightly so; lawyers are analysing and getting ready to sue the living day lights out of BP, and the ordinary people whose livelihoods have been disrupted are screaming blue murder. Water, sand, birds, fauna, people are being tested and analysed by biologists and scientists to ascertain damage. America is a country that does not lie low when it comes to environmental issues like oil spillage. They are holding their president accountable and Obama is holding BP responsible and accountable. Sadly and interesting though, what is going on in the Gulf of Mexico right now is a daily occurrence in our Niger Delta. There is a conservative estimate of about 10 million gallons of oil spilling into our water annually for the past fifty years. One cannot even begin to imagine the environmental degradation and death this constant unchecked spillage has brought on our waters and the surrounding creeks. Not once have we seen the oil companies in this country held responsible or accountable by our government. We have never seen our president or any government official visit disaster sites in the Niger Delta. Obama has made two trips to Louisiana already. He knows what is at stake politically and otherwise for his young administration. The American people will speak loudly come next election, and hold him responsible for whatever is happening now. This is why he is shaking BP and its executives. So far he has made BP Chairman Carl-Henric Svanberg apologise and own up to the spillage. “I would like to take this opportunity to apologise to the American people on behalf of all employees of BP, many of whom are living on the Gulf Coast, and I thank you for your patience…we care about the small people”. Not only has Svanberg apologised, he has also committed $23. 2 billion into a compensation fund and the America government is not even done with BP yet. That is what a functioning government does for its citizens; help the “small” people. Our government has never forced the big careless oil companies in this country to care about the “small” people of Niger Delta. Nigerian governments have always colluded and collaborated to continue the onslaught in Niger Delta. Whenever the ordinary fishermen whose livelihoods have been taken away rise in unity to demand justice, the Nigerian Army mows them down. Most villages have been completely wiped out of existence for daring to raise their voices against oil spillage. The oil companies who have operated on our shores for more than half a century know how corrupt the system is and have wasted no time in exploiting it. They know we have no government to hold them responsible for their criminal activities, like Obama is doing right now with BP. So, the spillage continues and the Niger Delta ebbs away. Oil companies here know Nigeria is a no man’s land, if you have ‘big money’ you can get away with practically anything. The question we should be asking now is, what is our new President (who by the way has a firsthand experience on the devastating nature of oil spillage in the Niger Delta) learning from his American counterpart’s experience? Since we seem to imitate a lot, will he learn to hold errant oil companies spilling oil in his homeland accountable? ------------next234 editorial
