yemmyse I just cast my vote and guess what it was. Of course u guessed right, it was a very big NO. My vote had nothing to do with tribal or religous sentiment. It was based on the fact that no one has been able to convince me that the man did anything positive for the nation. Unless one regards ethic cleansing, coup ploting and attempting to make the entire nation a mono-religous state positive. Did MM initiate any major economic programme during his administration of the country? Did MM improve the image of the country during his administration? Did he do anything to unify the country? Is there any positive sign of MM administration in the south[quote][/quote] You re such a pest |

QuotaSyste: @QuotaSyste My friend you must be from planet jupiter, because you have no idea of what happened during the war! It is a well know and documented fact that Britain supported Nigeria during the war. At a time despite British help to Nigeria the war was at a stalemate. Despite all the help that Nigeria got and despite the genocide and war crimes that Nigeria committed against Biafra, Nigeria could not win the war, hence the stalemate. Meanwhile through the help of neutral journalists like Fredrick Forsyth, the world was show evidence of the genocide, war crimes and the blocked done to Biafra. Prior to that Nigeria denied such allegations until Fredrick Forsyth provied pictures of the atrocities done to Biafra. This attracted sympathy for Biafra and mounted pressure on the British prime minister who had always defended Nigeria. Also at that point a new election was comming up in Britain, and the prime minister feared that if the war continued in stalemate, people might not for him. There were Protests (peaceful demonstrations) in Britain asking the Prime minister to end the war and stop the genocide in Biafra. It was obvious for him that if left alone Nigeria cannot defeat Biafra, and if Biafra wins, worst things that Nigeria did during the war will be revealed to the world. So he had to end the war in favour of Nigeria, in-order to save his reputation for the upcoming election. Therefore he intensified Britains support for Nigeria. At this point the war was almost between Biafra and Britain . This is how Nigeria won the war. Read your history. Read the story from unbiased and neutral writers(foreign writers). Don't just read and believe what Nigeria writes about the war. I will tell you another shamefull fact: Biafra captured the midwest at the beginning of the war and occupied that area. Not even one genocide was committed by Biafra during Biafra's occupation of midwest. The moment Nigeria recaptured that region, from the midwest to asaba, Nigeria tied all the igbo speaking people in that area(including women and children) and shot them at close range and fromthe back. This is one of the genocide that Fredrick Forsyth reported to world. This is a terrible genocide done by the battalion led by Murtala Mohamed. |

Quote Yes he is from the south south and he grew up in kano his grand father house still stands in auchi in Edo state Nigeria. but he has to choose kano because of the tribalism going on in the army as at then if you are not from the north you don't get enlisted or promoted as at when due. This tribalism still goes on today, for this reason we have so many northerner who can not even speak English in the army and also in police force.this reason he adopted the kano as his state of origin. On the subject of the matter for no reason should he be compared to JFK is like comparing him to MLK men who dream dreams for their country not their region of origin. they worry for the people and where they will be in 100 years to come but our leaders only worry about them selves greedy and corrupt we have not yet have a true and sincere leader yet in this country. |

[b]Re: Murtala Mohammed « #89 on: September 05, 2008, 12:10 PM » Modify message Quote from: boyscout on September 04, 2008, 08:47 AM @ Deepzone and David, Before you go any further on the loan condition, recipient nations should not necessarily be an Islamic state . If I had created any other impression, then Accept my apologies. Lets see your point on MM @Deepzone 1,Arabic Inscription on the Naira: This was actually done during the regime of Gen. Yakubu Gowon -a Christan (North) as there is no evidence that the naira was changed during the regime of MM 2,OIC Membership: All available records show that Nigeria became a member state during the regime of Gen. Olusegun Obasanjo -a Christan (South). As Deepzone had earlier said, even if it was MM intention as far as he did not lead us there at that point in time you can not hang him on this. Let us not forget that the polity of the World at that time allowed Obasanjo to lean towards Pan Africanism and to see it through it will associate with any thing that is against aparthied that is why World bank and its likes may not have been an option for us then. The . the nationalisation policy is one major decision taken then to show case pan Africanism (BP = AP) If you do have more facts do bring it on On MMIA: Well we do have to look at all monuments named after all known names and view it from allegations against them (You will be luck if we will ever name anything after anyone as all hands seems soiled)[/b] 1,So desperate to find MM's fault was Deepzone that she did not do her research well before coming up with something to 'back' her hatred for this man. If your intention is not borne out of hatred for this man because of his tribe & religion, I challenge you to disprove the boldened sentence. Five days after, still expecting a rebuttal from Deepzone! |
Re: Murtala Mohammed by QuotaSyste(m): 9:29am On Sep 08, 2008 |
DeepZone:Me, pro north? Tufiakwa. Ok, for the avoidance of doubts, my posts are not even up to 50. I implore you to take your time to check and read all my comments to know if it sounds pro north or not. How can i be pro north when they are killing my Igbo people with the flimsiest excuse of a muhammed cartoon that was drawn in far away Denmark? You have shown that you don't even read my posts, but i read yours and i say keep it up in exposing those murder maniacs. By the way, "Bia" is Igbo word for come, wa and zo. I know you have heard about the coined word "WAZOBIA" which represents Yoruba, Hausa and Igbo's way of saying "come" which is English word. |

I use to wonder why Nigeria always have a special requirement for visa applications to tourist countries. Now I understand why, it's because they might be seing Nigeria as an islamic country, and therby apply strict rules that are applied to terrorist countries. Apart from the fact that we nigerians have our odd characters, this OIC stuff might contribute to one of the reasons why we are treated like these islamic terrorist countries. Even countries like Indonesia have the guts to include Nigeria in this visa ristriction process. You can check out this site below and you will find out the list of countries listed are mainly in the OIC club. http://www.indonesianembassy.org.uk/consular_visa_type_approval.html |
