@ Quota

I'm done with you - I'll unleash your long lost lover RedHotChic to continue your macabre tribal dance. Only a consummate idiot like yourself will make blanket statements not backed up with fact.

Ewu Yoruba bigot, i didn't see you attack your ekiti wife RedHotChic when she was busy asking what Igbos were doing in northern nigeria while being killed and suggesting that Igbos should pay higher tax than others to avoid being killed in the north. Ethnic bigot, you are quick to respond to me because you already deciphered that i am not a bigoted Yoruba like you. Ewu awusa slave.

QuotaSyste

SHUT UP!

Everything is NOT about the Igbos alone, get that into your retarded little brain. We've heard the nonsense you had to say. Take up your grievances with anyone who insulted the Igbo for being in the North.

An idiot like you would make it sound as if only Igbos ever get killed in the North, or as if this is the first time any Yorubas would feel the pinch or would criticize obvious evils going on in the North. Your blatant stupidity prevents you from reasoning in any other way than the asinine one you currently apply.

Good morning my foot - arrogant, supercillious slowpoke.

Orobo, are you feeling it? Once again, good morning. Idiot. Tomorrow, you and your people will still support the same murderers against Igbos. You have done it before, you are still doing it today, but now, you have been caught up in their senseless mayhem and you are complaining. Quit complaining and respond to your good morning. Olodo.

Mad_Max:

I read the account of the killing of the corpers and wanted to cry. Imagine having people murdered in your presence. The shock alone would render me insane. Hundreds of deaths. The same senseless horror echoing in hundreds of families. They'll try to make sense of the deaths of their loved ones, and won't be able to.

Nigeria isn't one. It's never been one. I wonder why we keep thinking a split is an evil thing. I wonder why hausas work and live comfortably in other regions, they feel safe, and yet other tribes and religions are disposable aliens in their territory. One Nigeria is a myth. If you can't co-exist peacefully,then co-exist separately. I wonder if the tutsis,given a choice between their own state and having a million of them senselessly butchered,wouldn't have chosen being apart,and a million stronger.

How many people have died in Nigeria from the sort of unspeakeably evil disposition that sees no harm in butchering another human being for religious reasons? How many thousands and thousands? And we've come to accept this state of things,we feel a distant sort of sympathy and anger,but it's not our lives that were so cruelly and meaninglessly snatched away. If it were,perhaps the one Nigeria at all costs people would have a rethink from the other side.

Let the hausa people go.Let them leave the rest of us alone. And they'll need a frigging visa before they can cross over from their terrain. Unfortunately, if we split,it won't be clean,but very very messy, and at least 5 countries would emerge,with others clamouring for their own nation. If separation is what will give the rest of us peace,so frigging be it,yes please and thank you. There is no tribe as barbaric and monstrous as these hausa savages.

They do these things and they get away with it. There are no repercussions, no meaningful investigations, no one brought to book. Where the hell is the deterrent to stop these psychopaths in their blood-loving tracks? Execute a hundred of the guilty bastards for murder, and do so every time they attack, and mayhaps they'll think twice before cutting off heads in the name of their bleeding Allah.   

Good morning to you. You started feeling the pinch very late. There are people who have been feeling this way since before the war until this day. Once again, i say good morning to you.

javalove:

I'm struggling to hold back d tears coming from my eyes.

Ibukun was a gentle, easy going fellow. He was my mate in FGC Ijanikin. I still picture him in his Jaja house wear and the way we run things together. We werein the same class, ate together, read together and slept on the same bed sometimes. Is this how life is? A few weeks ago he was telling me about preparing to go to UK for his masters.

Ibukun is no more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its painful, A young promising fella, great sense of humour he has.

May Allah console his parents. Its sad.

What you are feeling now is what several millions of Igbo families have been feeling over the past years, yet none of you nigerians ever cared to understand, rather some of you were asking why and what we are doing in awusa land, our supposed ONE nigeria. I guess i should be asking you what your Ibukun was doing in awusa land depite knowing exactly what took him there. Well, sorry for your loss and sorry for the pinch you are now feeling. I wouldn't say good morning to you because this is a serious matter. If ever you people should learn and stop supporting the awusas against the Igbos.

santavista:

Friend, u are definitely versed like a pig livng in a hideous swine.
Ur response and conduct to this heinous crime is shameful, reprehensible and ignoble.
Ur mind is segmented typical of a despicable, unchangeable, rigid and myopic deluded hoodwink slowpoke.
Have you ever thought of the possibility of a one nigeria?
What do these peeps want from these harmless corp members?
You obviously do not know what it means to serve one's fatherland.
To answer your question, they were in Jos to serve their mandatory 1 yr service to the nation.
Possibly as teachers to educate your brothers and sisters an easy task that your team fynds hard to undertake.
The emphasis on their tribe is because they are serving outsyde their immediate environment.
Thus it is a shame that your cohorts could carry out such a grievous and severe crime.
Grow up boi. I wonder how some people will visit NLand and will still remain so ignorant, unintelligent, mundane, unpolished and excellently useless with mouths dripping wet with filth.
If you are from the north, you should bury yourself in shame except you are illiterate and uneducated then you can be exempted and pardoned.
I served in the north and i commend the civilised manner and ways of the educated elite amongst them.
Take a queue from MC Usman, Mai Suya and other northerners on this forum who though ever ready to defend their ethnicity and tribe do that with an applaudable mien to their characters and person. I disagree with them most times but I still respect them.
It aint about Yorubas, Hausas or Igbo. But Nigerians. Brothers killing brothers. We are one.
Let these above reprisal to your post serve as a foundation to purge your insensitivity and herald a new beginning to your innate assembly and create a new intellectual vault base which you will fynd useful in the new year ahead .

It's lazy one like you and your people who depends on reaping from where they did not sow that will be shouting one fake nigeria. Who is thinking about the possibility of one nigeria with you demented fools? Why can't you think about living off alone and surviving on your own without the Igbos to cling unto for your daily survival? Must you live together with the Igbos in the same country? You lazy bigot.

It's only your brainless head that will not understand why i asked the question about what your coppers were doing in northern nigeria. When you Yoruba brothers and sisters where asking what Igbos were doing in northern nigeria when they were being killed by the blood thirsty mallams, i didn't see any Igbo wasting his time going to length to explain to you what Igbos were doing in northern nigeria.

Ewu awusa, since you want to tell us what coppers were meant to be doing in a particular place. Mr know it all fool. Ewu awusa, none of you Yorubas will ever see the blood letting awusas as they are because you are their maid servants and partners in crime. You are only complaining a little now because three of you are downed by their swords. Awusa elite and civilization? Slave praising master by all means. Umu ewu them. Una never see anything sef.

DRANOEL:

@qoutasystem

you cut the picture of a kid whose parents wasted money sending you to school.

killings happen every where in nigeria because of poverty or how often do you hear of an educated hausa muslim killing in the name of religion?

people in the country are hungry and will use any excuse to vent their anger and just so you should know more hausa muslims were killed in the crisis than the christians.

the problem remains leadership and political will power!

You are an idiot to think there are educated awusa or non extremist muslim. Well, a gworo thinking mallam like you will always think otherwise. Illiterate.

miquest:

@ quotasystem
I am from Delta State and i can never be ashamed to say it, But you igbos feel like the world cannot do without you people, If you get your own Biafra Country would you live in it, If you would tell me what you where looking for in jos and not one of your states, live the people alone and stop pointing fingers and talking about the stupid biafra that has no head or tail and nobody wants to join you in your stupid biafra movement,

I am not justifying what was done in jos, but for you to open your stupid smelling nonsense racist and non thinking mouth to talk trash about me must mean your brain doesn't really function well, and you would ever remain a fool,

Those that were killed in jos were not only igbos or whateva you think, i lost people that were hausa christians and i mean christians not muslims, So my friend it's not all bout you being igbo,

SORRY TO SAY BUT THEY ARE JUST SO SHALLOW MINDED, and the day you show us that you can think for others and not just yourself would be the day biafra might just be ready to work, and this message is for quotasystems, i repeat you are a fool, and you were not even born in 1966 thinking you know it all,

Calling you the most idiotic of all idiots of this forum is understatement. When has nigerdelta become ethnic group? It is not enough to say "i am from nigerdelta" Tell us which ethnic group you belong to without been ashamed of your self and your ethnic group. I make proud to say now that you will never suffice again on this thread because of my question. Shame will never allow you to come back and tell us if you are Ijaw, Urhobo or Ishekiri. Ewu, i wonder when niger delta became a reference to ethnicity.

Ewu awusa without brain, do all Americans and Europeans live in America and Europe despite their places being the best in the world? Senseless question of Yorubas and other nigerian minorities when it comes to Igbos living outside Igboland. Lazy people that can't venture outside their areas to try and make a better living for themselves, but seeing Igbos doing the same thing warrants them to become jealous and start asking their "national anthem" stupid questions about why should Igbo immigrate to their areas to surpass them in achievements.

Anumanu, must i be born in 1969 to know what happened before and after then? That's why most of you nigerians are dumb heads. There are historians who can accurately tell you what happened 300 years ago, yet when an Igbo discusses about Biafra, it becomes reason for you idiotic nigerians to question when he was born. I still maintain that the most three names that you nigerians are most afraid of are BIAFRA, IGBO and OJUKWU. Just mention any of these three names and you will notice a nigerian start panicking.

See you mouth, " a Biafra that no one want to join" Has there been anytime that we Igbos wanted you lazy assholes inside our Biafra? You lazy ones,  especially the Yorubas and awusas are the ones that need to depend on Igbos for your daily survival. If not, try and support the agitation for the breaking up of your silly nigeria which 99.9% of Igbos are in support of breaking it. You lost people that are awusa Christians. Seems you are even awusa and claiming niger delta. Now go ahead without shame and tell us which ethnic group you belong to. Ewu awusa.

E_DIPO:

MAY THERE SOULS REST IN PEACE.

@Qoutasystem,

it is an understatement to say i am shocked at your submissions. we are talking of human lives, whether or not they are yorubas' hausaa or igbos. i don't even care of what background they belong. we are concerned about a sick nation being led by sick leaders and all you could do is come out this bold with so much insensitivity!
while i strongly do not agree with the caption, i think questioning what youth corpers are doing out there in Jos suggests that you never served or you did not school properly(no insult meant).

i am yoruba, currently in kano with two of my elder brothers who also work in Kano, if we get killed today, you'd blame us also for working in kano, so where is the place of cultural diversity and acceptance? think about it.

the mayhem is condemnable and most unfortunate. the big men who sponsored this unslaught are in the comforts of their houses enjoying the presence of armed security men.

so many people have died innocently, there is no point therefore making it look as if they were particularly targeted because they were yoruba corpers.

we would do to ourselves great injustice if we fail to address issues devoid of ethnic chauvinism.

once again, my heart goes to all the families of the deceased.

lets think, talk and act like a people of one nation.

God bless nigeria.

Don't be silly and stupid Mr Yoruba man. If you have known how to read and comprehend, you have read where i wrote that your same Yoruba brothers and sisters where questioning what Igbo people are doing in nothern nigeria when ever they are butchered by the same senseless and illiterate almajiri awusas. You brothers and sisters have always demanded and suggested in this forum that Igbo people should leave northern nigeria and emigrate back to the east since northern nigeria is not their land.

Your same brothers and sisters have insinuated in this forum that the reason why Igbos are the targets of the senseless awusa's killings is because Igbos are arrogant and unrespectful to the awusas in their land, therefore they the Igbos deserves what ever they got at the hands of the barbaric awusas. Can you imagine that? Now, i think Yorubas are also arrogant and unrespectful to them, so that's why your people were hacked down by the same animals. or may be they thought you were Igbos? Perhaps.

Your Yoruba brothers and sisters of this forum and other nigerian forums have even went on sometimes to demand that Igbos should leave Lagos and every other nigerian cities and emigrate back to their eastern part of nigeria because they are arrogant and greedy. I mean, this is nigeria, a country that is own 100% by Igbo people together with every other nigerians, but they the Igbos are being questioned why they left their own part of the country to migrate to other parts to engage in education, business, work and other things.

Just 3 days ago before it emerged that Yorubas were victims, your idiotic sister of this forum by the name RedHotChic was suggesting that Igbos living in northern nigeria be tasked to pay higher taxes than others ethnic groups living in the same area. Her reason is that the more money extracted from Igbos should be used to rehabilitate the almajiris so that they would stop targeting Igbos for their killing rituals.

When she was insinuating that just 3 days ago, none of your Yoruba people cautioned her. Inside them, they thought that their idiot sister has made a nice suggestion. Well, i think the Yorubas living in northern nigeria should be taxed more now to help in sending those almajiris to western type education and creating jobs for them so they would stop targeting and killing Yorubas. What says you about my suggestion? I also want to hear more about this taxing suggestion from that idiot RedHotChic now that the chicken has come home to roost.

Do you want now to claim that you haven't seen nor read about what i am talking about either in this forum or in any other nigerian forum? Do you want me to dig out some of the writings for you to read what your brothers and sisters wrote against Igbo victims when they were been hacked to death instead of comdemning the senseless awusa idiots? Do you want to claim to be blind to the extent that you haven't read such in this forum?  I bet you had there been no Yoruba casualty in this current cowardice act of the awusas, your Yoruba masters, those that you assisted in the mass killing of Igbos, non of you Yorubas would have bothered to comment on the current slaughtering of innocent people the illiterate awusas.

You hypocrites are everywhere now not because you usually denounce the reckless killings of Igbos by the illiterate bastard awusas, but only, and i repeat, only because you Yorubas are vicitims this time around. Only 3 down and you are already feeling the pinch. You should then ask how we have been feeling since before the war until this date having lost nearly to 4 million people to this blood sucking awusas whom are been aided by no other people than you Yorubas.

It would have been business as usual trying to think and continue asking questions about why the Igbos continue migrating to such places when they are been killed in those places. I want to see you and your Yoruba brothers and sisters start asking questions about what you and your people are doing in northern nigeria when you are also their target for their killing rituals. Is Lagos and other Yoruba cities not big enough to contain you people? My question to all you hypocrite Yorubas is, what are you and your dead youth coppers doing in northern nigeria? Nonsense!!!

shegirl71:

Your reckless regard to make sense is stagarring.[b]Your use of English cast a dark shadow of doubt to the Grade school you attended,that is if you did.Now apart from the fact that your this particular post makes no atom of sense,U are also suffering from brain from body separatism.Your epistle is so full of infinity splitting and hence i can't read it.
Now I will tell you a particular reason for hatred and racism cause you are doing both,
The main reason is INFERIORITY COMPLEX
I repeat you are a disgrace to the OUR IGBO LAND

Like i wrote before you didnt make it pass grade level cause if you did you will reason differently and if all nysc guys and girls refuse or reject the state they are given who will go there?
In your case calling you an EWU is an understatement.[/b]

See this transgendered Orobo with her fantom degree while butchering english language. Typical Yoruba orobo. Will be qucik to tell you how Yorubas are the most educated in nigeria where as JAMB statistics says otherwise while rooting for the Igbos as the most educated in nigeria. First to complain about my english which has no fault, where as the transgendered can't even write correct spellings, not to talk of correct sentences.

Doesn't even know where and when to use commas and fulstops. Doesn't even know that after comma or fulstop, you have to make a space for easy reading by other readers. The transgendered will be first to tell you "i am a graduate" and i ask, is this nigeria's educational system's product? Orobo.

I wonder between a Yoruba and Igbo, who will feel inferior to the other. Why didn't your Yoruba NYSC's reject the northern cities where they were posted? There is what is called, the nigerian factor. They can easily scheme for change of location and they would have gotten it so easily. Akpa dorty.

shegirl71:

Your brain is seperated from your mind. The posters reasons for listing names is to show that it is a little about the southners,Oh hush it you see why i wrote that your brain is seperated from your head,Ok i give you an example,you asked whatt they were doing in jos right? He was doing his nysc,Brat they didnt apply to be thrown there,The general idea about nysc is that they get to mix with other tribe aleast live there own tribe and learn about others.
But wait you are , obviously, you didnt make it to that level.
You are a disgrace to our igbo land.

Orobo dirty, you are even idiotice than the complainant. He wouldn't have cared to post this nonsense if the NYSC victims where Igbos. It is not by force to serve in the NYSC in an area that you do not wish to serve. Many are posted were they do not wish and they reject it out rightly. Why didn't your Yoruba brothers reject serving in the north? My question again, ewu, what were they doing in northern nigeria? Can't Yoruba area contain them? You case is pathetic olodo. Stop crying more than the bereave.

Good that you Yorubas are feeling the pinch of the craziness of your masters whom you served and helped to kill the Igbos en mass and still serving until today because of the unfounded fears that you have about the Igbos. I never see you idiots complain in the past when those morons were hacking Igbos to death in numbers. Rather most of you were asking what were Igbos doing in the north and why can't Igbo ply their businesses in just eastern nigeria.

Why weren't you raising the same question now? The most idiot amongst you all, RedHotChick was even proposing just 3 days ago (not knowing then that Yorubas were among those hacked to death) that Igbos should be taxed higher than others to help take care of the education of the almajiris. Do you see her warped reasoning of solution when the same northerners are the thieves of nigeria's money with over US$500Billion unaccounted for since they started ruling nigeria. Ewu awusa them, i guess Yorubas should be taxed higher now even more than the Igbos in their same supposed country nigeria to help send their killers to school for better education.

Talk about the chicken coming home to roast. I guess you Yorubas and other minorities are now getting back what you have been wishing the Igbos. And before you open your rotten mouth to ask, i never said that Igbos aren't victims this time around, but i suppose in the minds of you Yorubas and other minorities, it is normal for only Igbos to continue being the victims because they are always "GREEDY" as some of you will put it to leave there areas of the country and immigrate to other areas for business, education, work and other things.

Yorubas, you people are fools. You are now listing up your people's victims names for what reason exactly? Were awusas not your partners in crime against the Igbos? Were they not your masters whom you were so loyal to and served with all might? So, why cry now that the senseless killing have affected your people, First of all, may i ask what those names you listed were they doing in northern nigeria? Is Jos a Yoruba land? Why didn't they and other Yorubas stay back in Yoruba land instead of visiting northern nigeria? You Yorubas should know better by not visit any other place outside of Yoruba areas. Nonsense.

miquest:

I believe the Fight is Over now and Nigeria is still United, Once in a while you must have ethnic or religious violence but not forgetting the fact that Nigeria is still a peaceful nation, I am from the south and happen to have travelled a lot around the country and i must not fail to point out the fact that as much as the easternerns have always desired to have their own country, it is totally unfair to the rest of the Nation, Greed has eaten up with every 1 of the geo-political zones and nobody is innocent, Stop pointing fingers and lets look for a solution, People here talking about what happened in 1966 don't even know what happened, all they know is they would have had their own, GREED ALL OVER AGAIN, Stop the HATE,

You sounded so stupid with your excuse of greed. First of all, tell us which ethnic group you belong to in the so called south. It's not enough to lump yourself as a southerner. Don't be ashamed of your ethnic group, open up and tell us. Stop using "i am from the south" as a cover up. Igbos wanting their own country is unfair to you nigerians in which aspect? But when we say that you guys rely on us for your own survival, you will want to cry because of the truth. You guys only need us in the same country with you so you can be benefiting from our enterprise spriit and be answering the same country's name with us without contributing anything.

What has Igbos wanting their own country got to do with your own ethnic group also wanting your own country so that you can manage yourselves on your own very way? Do we stop you from developing at your own pace? Why do you so much want to live in the same county with the Igbos? All you nigerians want is to stall the Igbo people's development in the name of living together in one country while calling Igbo's push for secession a greed. Does that not sound silly and idiotic?
Stop pointing fingers when your masters are killing Igbo on daily bases through religious riots. Yorubas are crying now because it have affected them this time around. I know none of your ethnic person have ever falling victim to this awusa gworo madness, so that's why it must be business as usual for you just as it was for the Yorubas earlier on. Ewu awusa tell us which ethnic group you belong.

DavidDylan:

aunty you are a big disgrace.

Blood don flow reach my domot . . . now i must talk . . . education does not replace a lost soul.

If you've never worn the shoes of pain and anguish please keep quiet.

Exactly what i emphasized on above. You Yorubas have been supporting these awusas and became their cheif servants and partners in crime against the Igbos. At some poit, asking what the Igbos are doing in northern nigeria (their supposed country) and why shouldn't they go back home to their own area. Now the chicken has come home to roast. Lets see how much you guys are going to whine about.

Nobody should sound surprized at the gworo chewing malam muza declarance that God gave them the illiterate northerners the right to rule nigeria. What he said is the popular belief amongst most, and i mean more than 99% of northern nigerians. Even Yorubas and other minorities at a point also had same belief and allowed themselves to be usd by them and become their servants due to the fear of Igbos.
Now the scale is falling off the eyes of those servants one after the other. If not that the killings this time also involved some Yorubas, you wouldn't have heard any pim from any Yoruba person anywhere in nigeria. Rather, most of them would have been here asking why and what are the Igbos doing in hausa area of the country. They have asked same stupid question on many occassions. It has been the norm within the Yoruba society since the past killings was always against the Igbos. Now, a little number of them have falling victim and you see them shouting and crying more than the bereaved. Who is fooling who.

Let me say it again. Only fools will see any story about Ruibadu's so called persecution and make any attempt to read it.
I have told you people that what is happening is a only a planned script being played out to deceive you nigerians, but none of you fools will ever listen. It's already over 10 threads and millions of comeents on Ribadu on this forum. When are you nigerians going to learn.

Have you ever seen any top figure sent to jail by EFCC? Have you forgoten their past cases of Ehindero and 30 governors? What makes you think that Ribadu will ever be sent to jail despite convincing evidence about his houses overseas? Umu ewu, stop posting any thred/comment about ribadu here.

He and the nigerian authorities have already planned what is happening now and are executing it well to fool you people and you didin't disappointing by falling to their well planed script. Waitn until the planned script is played out to finish and come to tell me where Ribadu is. "They didn't let him graguate" my arrssssssss. Only fools will buy to such film script.

cabali:

So much ranting and no sense at all. Just when we were getting civillized you come up with such Bull rubbish. how brillant. I just hope this thread will not be locked because of u as it happened to the other one.

The truth is, whatever reason u have and no matter how justified it is by other people of ur kind, PAY YOUR TAX OR GET CLAMPED

Civilized my arrsss. Because you all were doing what you knows best, that is ganging up here in support of illegal closure of Igbo shops in the name of tax collection which is purely illegal.  When it's anything against Igbos including hacking them to death, that's when you all nigerians unite in your so called civilization. Anythign against Igbos is the major thing that unites you all. You can disguise as much as you want, i know the motives behind all of you posts here.
What your fashola is doing is completely illegal. No sane people goes about hounding it's supposed citizens and closing their shops in the name of tax collection. That is idiocy at it's best.
Ewu, where do you expect them to pay the tax to and how much do you expect each an everyone of them to pay before you and your fashola will get satisfied. Is it on fixed rate or pay as you earn as it's done in serious countries? Have you thought about first setting up solid tax collection system? Ohh sorry, your collective porous head doesn't know about that. All you know is kill them kill them, bring down their businesses because they are Igbos and they grow at a pace that is beyond your comprehension.

Are you blind that you didn't read my comment about about how tax is supposed to be collected which is also on the locked up thread? I was not around initially and that's why you fools have the time to gang up here in bashing Igbo business men and supporting your fashola's illegal way of tax collection. Someone even called him a lawyer. nigerian lawyer anyway. What does he know about proper way of tax collection. Nonsense.

dayokanu:

@Qoutasyte.
A large number of Yoruba Xtians and Moslems too were killed in the various wars in Northern Nigeria.

You must be a muslim to come and spew this nonsense here. So, if Yoruba muslims and christians were also killed, that justifies your muslim people's senseless and idiotic religious practice? And what does that have to do with the fact that 99% of the victims are Igbo people? Do you realize that over 100,000.00 Igbos have been killed in various religious riots in northern nigeria since after the Biafran-nigeria war? Don't come here to try to sweep facts under the carpet with your "Yoruba christian and muslims have also been killed" That is not the point we are trying to make.

Pastor PLC said:

Who said no Northern emirs have condemned the violence in the North?  I'm not a Northerner but I know a good number of them (thousands from the North) that have sincerely condemned it.

Not enough to come here and rant "who said" Any tom and harry can easily rant what you ranted above. Prove it by providing a link to your so called northern emirs comdemnation of the violence against Igbos in their nrothern enclave. Until you do that, just respect yourself and get out of this thread if you can't provide any link. Google is there to help you.

Kaestro:

Here's (this forum) is just a simple example of how issues turn out to become violent and uncontrolable when many can't state an argument without attaching sentiments.Not suprising everyone loves to play the blame game,when will each person start to become responsible for what he/she says or does? Generalisation isn't the way to go in times of dispute.Plain ignorance.Bad mind f&*k off!!

You can blow your mouth anyhow you want because the victims doesn't in anyway relate to you. You can equally find means to dismiss the killiing of Igbos as rumours since that is exactly what unites you nigerians more. Now go ahead and tell us how most of your friends are Igbos or maybe that you are Igbo as well.

JosBoy4Lif:

Quotasyte can you unequivocally say that Hausa's are the only ones to blame for religious riots in Nigeria?

@ nuzo
I want to know exactly what makes me a fool?

Yes, all awusas and northern nigeria's muslims. They condone it and none of them have ever comdemn it. If i am wrong, please refer me to a link where any of their religious instigated riots have ever been comdemned by any of their emirs, imams, northern nigerian governors or ordinary individuals of same people.

What kind of names are these oshomwole and osunbor sef?

Nonsense. Only for porous heads.

JosBoy4Lif:

@ nuzo
get out of here with your he said she said propaganda.
It's so funny if you ask the average Hausa, they will say they the ones who reacted. Nonsense utter nonsense.

It's a fool that doesn't know that muslims/awusas always start every religious riot in nigeria. Only a fool will says such is a propaganda.

JosBoy4Lif:

Last I heard Igbo's are not the only ones suffering in Nigeria. Was it not over 600 Hausa that were killed in the town of Yelwa!
I'm sick of your bickering about how east is being oppressed. NIGERIA is being oppressed by all our forking leaders. From Abakaliki to Maidugiri. ALL OUR LEADERS.

Stop bitching around. Who are all your leaders? and why mention Abakaliki when commenting on your nigerian leaders? is that supposed to convince who? Your leaders have been awusas and Yorubas who has spoilt the country, so stop at that and do not widen the horizon. You are quick to mention 600 awusas that were killed, now tell us how many thousands of Igbos that haven been killd in the same religious madness of your awusa people by your awusa people.

GoldCircle:

These rascals are at it again! Gosh! I miss Obasanjo! Will Yar'adua have the moral rectitude to stop them? soon, this madness will begin to spread all over the country! God help us!

You missed Obasanjo for what reason? What did he do to stop the same madness when he was in power? Can you remind us please? Was any arrest or prosecution made during his time? Don't come here to distort facts if you don't know what to post.

All you people who are being tricked into believing that Ribadu is being punished are fools. What is happening is an already written script that is being played out now by the invloved people. Until the so called Ribadu or what ever his namle is is thrown into jail, then we can talk. You nigerians never learn. Same thing was done with the former police cheif Ehindero, yet nothing happened after all. Tell me which govt. official has ever gone to jail in nigeria due to corruption. Now you expect them to throw Ribadu into jail? keep dreaming and refuse to accept that you are only being fooled in following a written script being played out by those rogues. After the script have been played out, Ribadu will be a free man.

Before I respond to your questions, please enlighten me, what is your understanding of the term duly elected representatives

It seems to me we do not understand this the same way?

You don't seem to know anything about tax collection, yet you are here talking with authority and supporting government dubious ways of tax collection.  All you know is that government went with microphones all over the town asking people to pay their taxes, yet people doesn't want to heed to this and later government started closing their shops/businesses, so they shouldn't complain. And tomorrow, you will want me to know the name of the university in nigeria that you graduated from. After all you can write in english, there for your opinion about tax collection matters.

Which govt. in this age and civilization uses such means archaic means to collect taxes? Going around media houses, making advertisements asking people to pay tax? is that how it's been done in responsible countries which you will be quick to tell people that your nigeria is one of those? How much do you want shop A and shop B owners to pay as their monthly income tax since you don't know exactly how much they are making? Fixed rate?

Listen attentively, in serious countries, before owning any business/shop, big or small, you MUST (by law) have to be registered so the state must know that your business/shop exists. There are departments created to search for and bring to justice any unregistered business and the penalty is severe because that is where tax evasion starts from. Registering your business doesn't cost much, so why face the law with severe penalty when you can afford business registration fee?

After that, you must have your accountancy firm that does your everyday business account/calculation for you. All the sales receipts from your sales machine must be submitted to your accountancy office everyday or week. There are so many accountancy offices as a result of this system in serious countries, there by creating jobs for accounting graduates. The bigger an accountancy firm is goes to show how much businesses they do their accounts.

In serious countries, you don't have the right (it's against the law) to calculate and account for your everyday sales, otherwise you must cheat and not declare exactly how much you made on each day, that is human nature. By law, you do the sales, but someone else must account for you on behalf of the government. That is the job of accountancy offices.

Now your accountancy office after doing your calculation through the sales receipts from your sales machine submitted by your shop to them will submit how much you made in a month to the IRS which will in turn calculate how much % of the money should go to the state as tax base on tax % laws on small and big income earners/businesses.

Now who know how much shop A and shop B made that places them either in small or big income earners? It's those accountancy offices, not the shop A or shop B owners because left for them, both will always declare that they made less so they can pay less as taxes. Do you get how easy it is. This way, there will be no room for either shop A nor shop B to evade tax. This rule applies to small and big businesses.

Also, there will be no room nor need for your fashola to go on newspapers and TV houses asking people to pay tax which he is not ashamed of doing in this age and civilization, but will be quick to let you know that he is a lawyer? A lawyer that doesn't know how taxes are collected by proper means. Who will pay in such circumstance? is that not "illiteratic" (allow me to use this word) way of doing things? And you are here to support a government that goes on TV and newspapers asking people to pay tax and you are not ashamed of yourself. Next time they will use town criers. Nonsense.

AMAKAONE:

Do we need to be hounded before we pay tax?

I agree with you.

Let the justice we all yearn for start from us.

Have you set up proper means of tax collection and peole didn't pay up their taxes? How do you ask someone that does his business and at the end of the day also calculate the amount he made by himself to pay you taxes? How much do you think he will declare that he made at the end of the day, week and month? Do you think he will declare exactly how much he really made?
Then how much do you want to tax him or her since you don't know exactly how much he actualy made? Since you and your fashola don't know about this, simple go and learn it first from those countries that practice such system and come back to put it place in your own country instead of hounding people in their shops to pay you nonsense tax because of who they are and which ethnic group they belong to. Sorry, it can never work that way. You can give up since you don't have anything positive to say other than to support the illegal houding of citizens in the name of stupid tax collection. This is not 1800. This is 2008, so you either make things work in proper ways or just shut up.

AMAKAONE:

And how exactly does your ranting and cursing me and my relations change the fact that this is about tax collection and evasion?

And how does that justify your suggesting that they start with "Yoruba" markets and not "Igbo " markets. who designated them as such anyway? You? By what authority?


My friend grow up, and post reasonable arguments and FACT, not personal attacks and suppositions.

All my posts relating to this issue have been based on fact and I have tried as far as possible to cite the relevant sources of my facts.

If you cannot do the same and just jump up and down crying "Them dey kill Igbos o!!" then mechionu, and let better people post.

Anuofia, this shouldn't be about tax collection and evassion, but about PROPER way of tax collection and PROPER means of stoping tax evasion. Do you now get that into that you thick empty skull? Fight it from the root and not fire brigade approach as it's obtained in your useless country nigeria. Which sane society goes about hounding people to pay their taxes instead puting mechanism in place that will make people pay and not have means to evade taxes? Ewu, i ask you again, do you read what i wrote above?
If your fashola and your people don't have anything bad against Igbo, then start to put up proper means of tax collection or else start your dubious means of tax collection with Yoruba businesses and then we can know you are really not against some people. Which facts have you? Useless facts that doesn't say anything about how proper tax should be collected in socities. Are those suposed to be facts? You just get up one day, organise some alayes and give them uniforms, call them one kind tax collector's name and send them to Igbo markets to start collecting taxes or else close their shops? Is that not madness? And you come here to defend such means of tax collection. Ewu awusa.

Sky Blue:

Unless i am missing something the victims continue to be the people which goes beyond igbos as you always like to make the issue about. What about people who are killed or attacked by their families or communities when they decide they don't want to be muslims anymore? Are those all igbos? Churches burnt down are they only igbo churches? So igbos are the only non muslims or non northerners living in the north? When will you begin to allow your debates flourish beyond such a view that i won't blame others for seeing as myopic?

You can go and tell your stories to a Cameronian or an Ivorian that doesn't know exactly what is happening in your northern nigeria. But not to me and other Igbo people. We the Igbos know that the killings are targeted towards Igbo people, but a non Igbo like you who is not feeling the pinch can think what ever you like and make up what ever other stories you feel like to justify what is happneing there, that is your own cup of tea. Fact is 99% of the vicitims are Igbo, so go to hell with your questions of what about other people and churches and non Igbos living in northern nigeria.

troy07:


You sound so ignorant and illiterate. You don't even know my tribe.

Even war Lord Emeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu regretted Biafra.

Ewu hausa, i don't even need to know that your minority tribe to know exactly who you are and where you come from. the last thing you nigerians will do is to openely state your tribe because of shame. Only Igbos can be proud enough to come out openely and say they are Igbos with pride. Shame will never allow you to tell us that minority tribe you come from. Anu mpam, oya prove me wrong if shame will allow you.

AMAKAONE:

Why must everything be tribal abeg?

see this is the type of thinking that results in hat is happening in Jos today.
Igbo this, Yoruba that, Hausa the other.
People are talking tax and law enforcement you want to bring tribalism into it

And for the record I am 100% Igbo

Shut up for goodness sake. If you don't see the wicked writing on the wall and call it what is it, then you are a fool. And don't bring that you are Igbo card to play here cause it doesn't convince anyone. You can equally tell us how all your friends are Igbos, or is that out of fashion for you guys? Which reasonable people/country uses such idiotic way in making people pay their taxes? is Alaba and Ikaja IT markets the only markets in Lagos?

Why don't they start from Yoruba or awusa dominated markets or put up a solid tax collecting system in place? You don't go hounding people in their shops and telling them to pay tax. Which tax? How do you know how muh such person and the other person made in each month and how much they have to pay as taxes? or do you want to tell us that in your useless country nigeria, that tax is fixed at a particular amount that every business owner must pay? You don't put in place a mechanism to help you know how much each an everyone of them make everyday, week and month, yet you want to collect taxes from them? How much do you want them to pay so you can be satisfied? is that how countries grow? A country that have fixed rate taxes?

Don't you read up what i wrote above about how reasonable people/countries use to collect taxes from their citizens without any hassle and on the process  creat jobs for it's citizens? Ewu, why must your beloved nigeria's own be any different, yet when they want to start with their dubious ways of collecting taxes, they will first start it with Igbo businesses? Ewu, i am here to say it as it is. If you want to hide under what ever "i am Igbo" that's your own fukcing business, but try your best to say things as they are.
