dairykidd:
Which one is private matured meeting again... Cut ties with her & if she still comes after u let her know u don't do married women. There's no big deal here unless of course u want to continue & end up slamming her... Disengage undecided

The private matured meeting means he has been to her promised land of milk and honey. He has said it all. Decipher with your brains.
Unless you want to ask how was the land of promise?

Foreign Affairs / WHICH WAY NIGERIA: (IPOB AND THE PYTHON DANCE) by Antartic: 12:04am On Sep 19, 2017
Umunne, Greetings !!! I was off for a while to attend to some pressing pop ups. I thank everyone in the forum for keeping the fire burning. I also read most of the submission in this forum on the issue of IPOB that has heated up the polity and I must say that I  was.impressed not minding how divergent some of them were from my views. It is true that we all have our opinions but despondently common sense seems not  to be common (pun intended). I'm not here to be a judge to which party that won the argument but to berate some of us who claim to know it all and still do nothing. My take on this KANU IPOB issue and the military operation Egwu Eke (Python dance) is that a man does not leave his house on fire and start looking for rat,the mere fact that a rat is in the house is bad enough as it could destroy some valuables but a house on fire if not quenched will destroy everything which is even worst. Nnamdi Kanu and his ideology of a Biafran state and the way he is going toward its realisation may be portrayed as imperfect but surprisingly he is getting the desired attention locally and internationally even with the detrimental operation Python dance. My rhetorical question to all whose views seems not to align with mine is "what have you done on your part?" Lets quit complaining and do our bit as little drops of water makes an ocean. My advice is that if u can write please do, if you can speak please speak, use whatever channel(s) at your disposal to expose this injustice. why blame KANU at this time when innocent civilians are being slaughtered in Abia state and some of us are still justifying the military stand. We may not be in sync with Kanu's stance however  the unjustified killing of innocent souls can never equate to any line of thought. Kanu's  ideology and his ways of actualisation is infact  the "rat" in my earlier analogy and the  killing of innocent civilians by Trained killers is the "House On Fire". The common sense here is to firstly speak against the military incursion and the Genocide being perpetrated because innocent blood is being shed. After the fire has been put off, you can now come back to the " Rat"in the house. Today it's IPOB and tomorrow it could be OODUA people' Congress (OPC)and if the Army comes in and start killing innocent civilians, would someone say because they're from south-west and not from south-east, then it is justifiable, Capital NO. The shedding of innocent blood is wrong whether for good or a bad course. This show of intimidation with impunity is well captured by former U.S attorney General to UN, Mr Bruce Fein who said that Nigeria should be expelled from the UN for allowing Genocide and president and chief of army staff held accountable in the international criminal court. He further stated, while the suffering and persecution of Burma's Muslim Rohnyga have captured headlines and of attention of the United Nations high commissioner on human rights (Zeid Razad al-Hassein) Nigeria's far worse oppression of Biafrans has been largely ignored. It is difficult to resist the conclusion that the international human rights community squints when blacks kill blacks. He again declared that hundreds of innocent civilians have died and more have been injured or terrorized by Nigeria's military acting under Buhari directive in last week alone. He however, maintained that the genocide is a crime against all of mankind which concerns every country and individuals alike and that is my focal point. This happenings goes beyond IPOB, it is an agenda and they have made a statement and it is your reaction that will determine the next step. Let's be wise and at all times look at the bigger picture.  The agenda is simple lslamatize Nigeria and the only stumbling blocks are the Igbos who are predominantly  Christians and that my friends is the bigger picture. To prevent this, we must stand as one regardless of any differences and lend a voice to this struggle. This structure called Nigeria is bad news. A country where a particular race or people are  2nd class or 3rd class citizen, a country where mediocrity is celebrated over competence, a country where 2 sets of people exists, the elites and the slaves. My final submission, stop complaining of Nnamdi Kanu, do your part. It is not only through IPOB that our agitation to a Free and fair Nigerian can be pushed through, KANU is doing his part, do yours. Do I prefer this present  state of Nigeria where injustice is dished out to a particular race, you already know my answer or do I prefer a Biafran state where I won't be a 3rd class citizen anymore, where Justice, equity &fairness will reign, your guess is as good as mine or Nigeria state that is well restructured to suit every tribe or people, religion and a Nigeria state where every citizen has equal rights and where competence is chosen over incompetent, let's SPEAK UP against this injustice and if you feel KANU is not doing well start your own campaign maybe, he may learn a thing or two from you. Stop the condemnation and keep fighting, one day they will HEAR US. Freedom is never free and it comes at a cost and you can only get what you ask for, let's be wise. UDO DIRI UNU NILE.

Foreign Affairs / Buhari Let My People Go. by Antartic: 10:57am On Aug 25, 2017
“LET MY PEOPLE GO!” – NNAMDI KANU, THE NELSON MANDELA OF BIAFRA; THE MARTIN LUTHER KING (JR) OF NDIGBO, THE REBEL LEADER, OJUKWU, OF THE INDEPENDENT BIAFRA NATION!

By Nathaniel I. NDIOKWERE

Preamble

Does the title of my ‘thesis’ sound funny, ridiculous or hyperbolic (exaggerated)? Am I not crazy like ‘my’ NNAMDI KANU? Not at all! But you may be the one, crazy, if you fail to examine this write up with open mind, passion and compassion, commit it to memory as you share the document with friends and let your children know the contents, too.

The MOSES OF BIAFRA, Emeka Odimegwu Ojukwu is no more. He joined our ancestors in 2011, and since then Igbos have no one to take over “Ojukwu mantel of leadership”. Africans, are never fortunate when it comes to political leadership and credible successors and worthy legacies. We are not Americans, but try to quote, copy or mimic AMERICA.

John F. Kennedy (Sr) died, but it was not the end of an enviable political leadership associated with the ‘KENNEDYS’.The family continued to produce respectable leaders! What of the ‘BUSH’ family? What of the “CLINTONS?”. If America is not ‘fantastically corrupt’ even more than Nigeria, Hilary Clinton , a wife, would have become the next American president; not DONALD Trump. And the election was rigged. As we hear, the Clintons’ daughter is gearing up for politics!

And Ojukwu died and neither a son, daughter nor a wife could stand up for enviable succession in the steps of the great REBEL SECESSIONIST LEADER OF BIAFRA! The poor son of the great Ikemba of NNEWI could not summon courage and continue from where the HERO of NDIGBO, his father OJUKWU (SENIOR) stopped! Has this Ojukwu (Jr) heard of the NORTH KOREAN 33-Year old ‘boy’ ,KIM JONG-UN, who in the footsteps of his father, is confronting and terrorizing America in military confrontations, on land, sea and air! And the great AMERICA is panicking and suing for peace!

Poor Nigerians and their political legacies! The great ZIK of Africa passed on and none of his sons could toe his political footsteps. Likewise Michael Okpara and Akanu Ibiam! AWOLOWO the great died, together with MKO ABIOLA, TAFAWA BALEWA, AHMED BELLO, but instead of taking over the mantle of leadership, their sons and daughters went into hiding. And about these great politicians and many more their expected successors became dead woods as politics became a game for any crook, criminal, blind and dumb illiterates and morally debased adventurers, who continued messing up Nigerian politics and economy.

But dead or alive, Ojukwu’s spirit is still hovering around his people. He has not forgotten nor have most NDIGBO and some Nigerians failed to recall his leadership as the BIAFRAN HERO and MOSES of his people. OJUKWU has passed on but most of his words and speeches are there on iCloud for anyone to google and verify. Ojukwu rightly declared there should be no more war. But he did not declare that Biafra was dead! Many great people like Wole Soyinka and Chinua Achebe warned Nigerians never to think or presume that just because of Biafra defeat in the battle field, that Biafra was dead. Soyinka continued to warn that reckless and inflammatory statements like “Nigeria’s sovereignty is not negotiable”, will worsen the situation. Such old cliches like “United we stand and divided we fall”, in reference to Nigeria, is a completely dead matter. Is a personality, an international and intellectual figure like WOLE SOYINKA , a type whose utterances can easily be ignored? But people like BUHARI and other Northern Cabal would not listen!

BUHARI AND OJUKWU- The Biafra dilemma!

That was exactly why President Mohamed Buhari was mentioning his meeting and agreement with Ojukwu in his broadcast. “The Biafra problem” had kept Buhari sleepless throughout his sick leave in London. And there had been a vacuum; no one to continue that important “dialogue” with Buhari and his trusted ministers. There has been no peaceful resolution as far as the project of “Let my people go”, is concerned. The dialogue which started in ABURI, GHANA was discontinued by YAKUBU GOWON and his ministers. Ojukwu is dead; but GOWON is alive watching the ugly consequences of his selfishness and failure to honor agreements. History has all the records. And there was war and as well, “There was a country”. Anyone who claims that BIAFRA is a new term new concept, new phenomenon, a completely new ideology or project, in Nigeria, must be the worst hypocrite on earth, untrustworthy and evil person.

BUHARI AND NNAMDI KANU: The Biafra unresolved issue!

The Biafra struggle did not end in January 1970. Never! Even with another war and defeat, BIAFRA idea will resurrect and someone, perhaps another REBEL, a fanatic’, harassed, imprisoned like MANDELA, even shot and assassinated like MARTIN LUTHER KING (Jr), a model of MOSES will continued the struggle until BIAFRA, IGBO nation is established, consummated. Biafra will never continue in the false union with Hausa-Fulanis. That is a bad dream, a nightmare. It is evil. This is why NNAMDI KANU is continuing, renewing, leading the campaign. There is practically nothing strange, abnormal, sensational he is doing; nothing constituting a felony or anything dissimilar to what liberationist patriots do everywhere. NNAMDI Kanu, like Odimegwu Ojukwu is a REBEL, AGITATOR, A WAR MONGER. These are the known characteristics of FREEDOM FIGHTERS . These are not bad names anyway. OJUKWU dialogue with BUHARI, should now shift to BUHARI and NNAMDI KANU and ASARI DOKUBO, now the accredited leaders of BIAFRA or the UNITED STATES OF BIAFRA, if BUHARI and his war lords are serious for any type of negotiations.
LOST SONS OF BIAFRA AND IGBOLAND
When some honorable sons of Igboland joined Hausa-Fulani political party, (APC), most of us thought they had noble political ideas of fighting for Igbo-BIAFRA interest! Behold! Most disgraceful and embarrassing is the continued presence of former great Igbo sons like CHIBUIKE AMAECHI, OGBONNAYA ONU, CHRIS NGIGE, ORJIUZOR KANU and possibly the crook and the already discredited ROCHAS OKOROCHA and some others, who joined the cabal in drones. Unfortunately, they are just there to discredit the Igbo and Biafra, thus undermining Igbo interest and survival as a people. What are these gentlemen doing, abandoning their kith and kin in Biafra? What are the Igbo senators and law-makers doing; instead of returning to their fatherland for the expected Igbo Renaissance. Who is crazy? These Igbo sons lost in the jungle, or NNAMDI KANU and IPOB? I sincerely believe that it is the person, who still believes in the so-called unity and corporate existence of Nigeria after 57 years of nasty experiment that needs a psychiatrist and not Nnamdi Kanu or his supporters.
NDIGBO! WE CAN FIX OUR OUR PROBLEMS! TWENTY POUNDS (£20) CAN DO THE MIRACLE AGAIN!

NDIGBO should stop weeping, panicking, getting upset each time we suffer reverses, persecutions and rejection in Nigeria; when BUHARI announces to the nation and the world that “Nigeria unity is not negotiable” , or when a Hausa-Fulani hater, records a voice message, in the name of AREWA YOUTHS, ordering the slaughter and burning of all Igbos and all Southerners (except Yorubas), who fail to leave the North before October 1, 2017! Such adverse situations, (pogroms, genocide, shrinking enclave, marginalization, loss of properties, and IGBOPHOBIA , like those associated with the Jews, the Holocaust, Anti-Semitism, tiny enclave around and within sworn enemies, did not start today, and may not end soon! It is not Nigeria unity that is not negotiable! It is BIAFRA; and it is already happening. What is NOT negotiable is BIAFRA NATIONHOOD, national identity or independence!

Courage, perseverance, hard work and “Igbo Kwenu! Igbo Ndi Oma” philosophy will remove all obstacles on the way to self-realization and self-determination on the platform of the CATALONIAN revolution. This “ Catalonian System” or “best Model” of “sound ground-work or foundation” for self-determination, simply means that we, the Igbos, Biafrans, must begin developing and industrializing our fatherland, from grassroots irrespective of the date and day of the celebration of the independence of BIAFRA, as a full sovereign nation. Period!

Defeated in war, by the world powers, Britain, the Soviet Union, the Arab nations, that heavily assisted Nigeria, and politically and economically humiliated, Igbos were not yet finished, but within a few years bounced back, competing favorably with counterparts in good things of life, except in development of IGBOLAND, SCIENCE and TECHNOLOGY. The Biafran Engineers and Scientists, that made an unbelievable outing that stunned the word during the period of Nigeria-Biafra war, dejected, frustrated, disappeared, and dispersed, and Igbos lost their best brains and no one seemed to care!

However, their properties declared ‘abandoned’ all over Nigeria, the name IGBO, language and dialect, including anything associated with former kith and kin in the ‘rest of Nigeria’, declared ‘anathema’ (forsaken, prohibited), the Igbo, yet IGBOS staged an incredible ‘Bounce-back! With only a miserable £20, out of millions they had in the banks. The victorious Nigeria, led by Yakubu Gowon and Obafemi Awolowo (head of state and vice), settled the defeated and devastated Igbo with just £20! The Igbo survived and no one, not the wounded in war, not the homeless after the war, not even the poorest villager was seen in the streets begging for food and money. Igbos had to begin life again and have proved they are not yet finished!

“IGBOS MUST LEAVE ULTIMATUM”

I have dealt with that issue in my previous write-ups (please check up) “BIAFRA EXIT – A blessing in disguise, a possible disaster for Nigeria”. My present ‘thesis’ is that that EXIT has begun. And gradually it will come to full realization in matter of time. Here I am stating the basic ground work for its fruition. BIAFRA EXIT, is not just ‘physical’; its accomplishment and results are in the form of SOCIO-ECONOMIC transformation of Igboland by the Biafran returning exiles!

That there are so much, enormous goods, valued in billions of naira that Igbos would lose or forfeit if they leave Northern Nigeria and return to their true fatherland, may not constitute enough reason to listen to the drums of ‘false unity’ or ‘oneness of Nigeria’, really a mirage, which BUHARI and Northern Cabal have started to beat again. That some of our governors and lawmakers, politicians and business men and women have properties and establishments, which they set up in the North with stolen money from our public funds, is no reason why we must protect and cherish ‘Nigerian unity’ and perish as a people! Owners of such properties in the North are free to remain in the North for ever! All lost and gained after the great EXIT, the Igbo can recover in a matter of time, bounce back and even overtake other competitors. It is possible. It is in our stars! A sum of £20 can work the wonders again. This is my proposition! Not kidding you!

INDUSTRIALIZATION OF BIAFRA-LAND

The establishment of a “Land flowing with milk and honey’, with jobs for everyone, maximum security assured – no armed robberies, kidnappings, no cheating or atom of corruption, or dirty deals, no hates, no neighbors quarreling among themselves, injustice clothed in bullet-proof enclosures, no weeping in families and streets, food in abundance for all……., though realizable, in fact is not a myth. It is a serious business, that requires the ancient IGBO SURVIVAL SPIRIT. IGBOS, BIAFRA will survive if my current proposals can be tackled by all and sundry, with the audacity and sense of urgency they require!
There is need to return to work of the development and total industrialization of Biafra. Biafran professionals, engineers, doctors, businessmen and women, who could open up businesses, small and large scale industries, manufacturing companies, farming and food-production communities, food processing plants and what more, can thereby create jobs that can help recall our dispersed sons and daughters. Are there no Igbos, Biafrans in the areas of electricity and power to take care of that basic need for any successful business ventures.! The big Nigerian toddling giant has swallowed Biafran engineers up or has frustrate them!
THE IGBO-BIAFRA AND NIGERIA
Is it possible that the Igbos , known for quick actions, known for the philosophy of ‘forward ever, backwards never, could allow, tolerate, the Nigerian deteriorating political and economic situation in the name of “United we stand; Divided we fall!” How many times has Nigeria fallen and behind many tiny nations of Africa and the world! But we have remained united ! It is strange and unbelievable that the republican Igbo politician, who acknowledges the political ideology that the people hold popular sovereignty, could tolerate, a Hausa-Fulani monarchical Muslim leadership! There are super political and economic structures that are meaningful and can guarantee our survival in a fast changing world. (To be continued) (You are free to share and make a contribution).
Foreign Affairs / Facts About The Coup Of 1966 In Nigeria. by Antartic: 11:07am On Jul 26, 2017
#PostedAsCopiied

*JUST READ FOR HISTORY's SAKE*
1966 Coup: “The Igbos Now Vindicated And Exonerated” - by Olusegun-Obasanjo.

"Let the truth be told. The People involved in that so called 1966 “Igbo coup” were:
1. Major Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu (Midwest Region Igbo)
2. Major Adewale Ademoyega (Western Region – Yoruba), author of “Why we struck”
3. Capt. G. Adeleke (Western Region – Yoruba).
4. Maj. Ifeajuna (Midwestern Region – Igbo).
5. Lt. Fola Oyewole (Western Region – Yoruba), author of “The reluctant rebel”.
6. *Lt. Robert (Bob) Egbiko* (Midwestern Region – Ishan).
7. Lt. Tijani Katsina (Northern Region – Hausa/Fulani).
8. Lt. O. Olafemiyan (Western Region – Yoruba).
9. Capt. Gibson Jalo (Northern Region – Bachama).
10. Capt. Swanton (Northern Region – Middle Belt).
11. Lt. Hope Harris Eghagha (Midwest – Urhobo).
12. Lt. Dag Warribor (Midwest – Ijaw)
13. 2nd Lt. Saleh Dambo (Northern Nigeria -Hausa)
14. 2nd Lt. John Atom Kpera (Northern Nigeria-Tiv).
The reason for calling the 1966 Coup an Igbo exercise is because the government of Nigeria has refused teaching Nigerian History in our schools. And core North has been busy misinforming Nigerians that the 1966 coup was an Igbo coup.

Yoruba – Igbo fact sheet. This article has no tribal sentiments. Pls add ur own facts if u have any. History will always tell us what happened.
1. Azikiwe defeated Awolowo to become the first Nigerian Premier of Western Nigeria (present Southwest plus Edo and Delta States). Awolowo instead of forming Opposition, rather formed Egbe Omo Yoruba and used it to intimidate Yorubas that won election on NCNC platform to cross carpet and join him against Azikiwe. This was the first parliamentary coup in Nigeria.
2. Awolowo from then on, started indoctrination of Yorubas against the “threat of Igbo domination”. That is how the incurable seed of fear of Igbos was sown in the psychic of Yorubas which Yorubas later sold to other groups through Yoruba control of the media for decades.

3. Alhaji Tafawa Balewa , Nigeria ‘s first Prime minister could not tolerate Awolowo’s treacherous and inordinate ambition of acquiring political power by all means and at any cost. So, he threw Awolowo into prison for treason.
4. Samuel Ladoke Akintola who replaced Awolowo as Premier of Western Nigeria tried to destroy Awolowo’s political grip on Yorubaland by forming a party to takeover Western Nigeria in alliance with the Hausa-Fulani oligarch who Awolowo despised as a backward race. Consequently, Yorubaland went ablaze in revolt against Akintola’s plot. Law and order completely broke down in Western Nigeria. Wole Soyinka wore a mask and forced announcers at Western Nigeria Broadcasting Corporation to declare that Akintola’s government was a fraud.

5. Yet, Tafawa Balewa refused to declare state of emergency in Western Nigeria in order to keep Akintola as a proxy for Hausa-Fulani interest. This was the MAIN reason Yoruba graduates in the Army were the brains behind the coup led by Chukwuma Nzeogwu who happened to be Igbo.
6. As Wole Soyinka and even Obasanjo acknowledged, Nzeogwu ‘s coup was widely accepted by a vast majority of Nigerians across regional, religious and ethnic divides. 9. But the dissatisfied Hausa-Fulani oligarchy who had majority in Nigerian Army infantry used their puppets, Yakubu Gowon, Theophilus Danjuma and co to overthrow General Ironsi.

7. In order to win support of Yorubas, Gowon released Awolowo from prison. The Hausa-Fulani knew Awolowo’s fear of Igbo as the only group that stood against his ambition to power. Gowon therefore quickly made a deal with Awolowo which in effect was that power would rotate between the North and the West (Hausa-Fulani and Yoruba) in post war Nigeria if Awolowo convinced Yorubas to join the North in fighting Igbos.

8. The Nigerian Army was consequently split into two divisions: the northern sector division commanded by Hausa-Fulani and the southern sector division, commanded by Yorubas.
9. Lagos, a city built largely by Igbos and were Igbos invested heavily, was also ceded to Yorubas as a State even when there was no Abuja at the time (1967). 14. Awolowo was made Vice Chairman of Federal Executive Council and Finance Minister. All federal government owned banks in Nigeria at the time which included the Central Bank and First Bank, were under Awolowo and Yoruba management. It was a deal Awolowo could not resist. The man was an unscrupulous Machivellian anyway.

10. The Igbos were eventually defeated and Yorubas became champions of nationalism.
11. Awolowo tried to make sure no Igbo man or woman would ever be more than financial destitute let alone have the financial resources to rival a Yoruba
12. To achieve his objective of permanent Yoruba supremacy, Awolowo insisted that every bank account owned by an Igbo, regardless of how much was in it before the declaration of Biafra, would only be replaced with twenty pounds! He instructed Yoruba Permanent Secretaries who took over the Federal Civil service when Igbos left, to make sure that Igbo senior civil servants were not reinstated but to rather retire those who could not be dismissed as rebels. The same policy obtained in the Armed Forces of Nigeria and Police .

13. The Igbo were not only made pariahs but also financial destitutes.
14. Every house and industry in Igbo city was destroyed by war. Schools were closed for 3 years and many were razed to the ground.
15. Awolowo masterminded the indiginization policy by which Yorubas bought over all companies in Nigeria using money readily made available to them by the banks under their control. The Igbos were excluded.
16. They rejoiced and relaxed and complaisantly asked:

How could Igbos ever rear their ugly heads up again”? Sure, if that had happened to Yorubas or any other ethnic group, that would be their end. But as Awolowo rightly feared, we happen to be Ndi Igbo.
17. The shooting war ended 45 years ago and we are still here. We have survived all policy shenanigans contrapted by treacherous Yoruba masterminds and executed by their Hausa-Fulani allies.

18. In frustration, they have realized that we are who we are. Imagine their frustration! Never mind all Yoruba masterminded psychological attacks on Igbos disparaging us in any way they can.
19. Yes, Federal government policy has made them the tycoons of oil and gas, telecommunications, insurance and manufacturing. Oh, their Hausa-Fulani cum military allies gave Nigeria to Obasanjo for 8 years in keeping faith with their alliance.
20. Bola Tinubu is struggling for Awolowo mantle by forming an alliance of etho- religious jingoistic to ensure power keeps rotating between Yoruba and Hausa-Fulani. Where is the position of the Igbo and other tribes in Nigeria.

THAT IS WHY IGBOS WHO EXPERIENCE ALL THE ABOVE INJUSTICES THINK THAT BIAFRA IS THE ULTIMATE ANSWER.

Health / The Complete Eradication Of Spinal Meningitis In Nigeria Is False. by Antartic: 2:58pm On Jul 04, 2017
It was announced in the news on the 30th of June 2017 that spinal Meningitis has been completely eradicated from Nigeria. The truth is that it is still circulating, presently my son is in the Military hospital, Port Harcourt. Where he is being treated of spinal Meningitis since on the 25th of June. Their is another patient here with the same ailment. Two days back I went to visit friend of mine and I was sharing my challenges with him and he called his neighbour to come and listen to what I said after which the brought the little child and I noticed all the symptoms I learnt from the doctors in Military hospital.

I am not trying to raise panic, I just think that people and the government should know that it has not being eradicated as they said.
