Folks: First of all I salute the makers of this forum.
Where is our democracy heading to? A couple of days ago, I posted a reply on Nigeriaworld Message Board asking questions I deemed necessary to clear some issues regarding Big Steve's threat to close down Biafranigeriaworld Message Board. Amazingly, when I tried later to respond back to some rhetorics, this was what I got:
posted
Adegboye: I read the said post. Are you saying you were banned as a result of making that post? I don't see anything wrong with your post and its comments for it to be banned.

Adegboye: If what you are saying is true based on the said post to which I read, I don't see any reason why you should be banned. sadly, even if the passive Nigeriaworld Message Board members acknowledges your complaints, they will still do nothing. That's Nigeria democracy, folks.

Gani: Don't feel the pains. I never believed the control freak at Nigeriaworld until it happened to me. What was it that I did wrong? For challenging Mobalaji Aluko. Ironically, he (Aluko) became a victim, too.

Guys: Let it be known. I am glad you have seen it all--the madness and the censorships--for siding with Big Steve.

Nigeriaworld webmaster is in Big Steve's pocket. Your crime is that you challenged Big Steve. In Nigeriaworld message board Big Steve is untouchable. I read that post you made over there I didn't see anything that warrant banning. If it were conservatives like us I would said made be we rock the world of Big Steve, But your post was moderate compared to some of that attacks we have received here from the likes of Bababoyz.

I don’t know exactly how it looks like, when you are banned. In my ignorance, may I ask, are you sure it was not just technicalities?
Did you try to use the ‘update’, to refresh. I am sure I must have experienced such a text, and it sometimes helped if I update or is it ‘refresh’ (it is called in english?). I will suggest you try again, and if it doesn’t help, then you can draw that conclusion.
I’ll suggest we all put a hold on discussing our nwanna Bigsteve, please.
If I may say something about these two sites, in my wisdom I’ll humbly submit, the BiafraNigeriaworld and the Nigeriaworld, ought to or should work in concert with each other, for all our communities. It will be a shame, if we are forced, to choose one from the other. Therefore, it is imperative we all respect their respective modus operandi.
Finally, I am in generous mood, I’ll leave you all with two quotes of the day.
**** Quotes-of-the-day ***
"There are legends among the tribes that some of our people were taken away a long time ago. And one day they will return, and when they do they will return as supermen..."
Patrice Lumumba (1925-1961)

Nkem, Thanks for your concerns. Yes, I was banned, but the good news is, that control freak at Nigeriaworld came in too late. He should have done that long time ago when I was too vocal.

Ganiyu, Welcome to our free and unfettered board. Feel free to express yourself. Be prepared to get as much as you give.
You were very brave and upright in your observatory questions and comments to Steve Nwabuzor about his double standards. On one side of the mouth, he tried to vindictively sue this board for closure, but failed...in his bid to silence Ndigbo Biafrans on this board. He used the opportunity from a thread about Biafrans taking their case to the Hague to throw jabs at lawyers on this board. On the other side of the mouth, he was pretending to be pro-Ndigbo and their progress.
You rightly observed his inconsistency. So if he once again used his connection with Nigeriaboard master, now you know why we dub people like that "Ibo moderates" aka saboteurs. Right now in Ndigbo land, we're fixing to reckon with our moderates. I'm sure you've heard Mbadinuju's whining. Ndigbo intend to demonstrate to these moderates how a hunched back man is buried. (No offense intended).
Your welcomed. But don't let the name of this board fool you. It is designed not in reactionary to NigeriaWorld but based on exclusivity for free speech and expression. Like Lady Biafra said, 'If you can dish it be prepared to take the hollow point lead bullet because you asked for it otherwise your in the wrong neighborhood.
Be proud OPC and say it like it is. Any member of OPC or Arewa who believes in separate but equal theory gets my ears.
Welcome
Hail Biafra

Nkem: I shared your concerns about "refresh," etc. Therefore, I contacted M. Ganiyu Adegboye and he sent me his user name and password so that I could try to log in at Nigeriaworld. I got the same error message that Gani posted. Thus, I believe that Gani was banned for challenging Big Steve because the last dispute that Gani had at that board was with Big Steve. If you want, I will send the username and password to you, so that you can try. Gani has indicated to me that that is ok with him.
Therefore, it is likely that Big Steve had a hand in getting Gani banned. Even Gani predicted that Big Steve was going to go to the owner of that board to get him banned. There is too much coincidence on that board of Big Steve's opponents getting banned simply for opposing Big Steve. These days, no one disagrees with Big Steve over there. Anyone can make their own judgment about whether the owner of that board is in Big Steve's pocket. All these instances of getting banned for opposing Big Steve cannot just be coincidence.
Each time people leave the Big Steve issue, something happens to bring it back. Gani has a right to complain about being banned. The mention of Big Steve's name is purely incidental. If it was Rudolf or Risi that was doing the same things, I am sure that their names would be mentioned too. All that banning at that forum should be making decent people like you very uncomfortable. Have you noticed that no body at that forum has had the courage to question the autocratic rule of the boardmaster over there over the banning of Gani? If it happened here, anyone would be able to challenge it. I guess that's one big difference between BiafraNigeriaWorld and the other place.

There are people who will not see injustice even if it hit them on the face with mack truck. This same people want the Igbos to remain in Nigeria where they will continue to ethnic cleanse Igbos.

Inasmuch as I made some comments regarding the particular issue that 'seems to me' led to your tossing I do not believe that that particular heckling from you on Big Steve called for ouster and the heckling was also not in order. I suggest you should querry the boardmaster on why your posting right was suspended. However, like I counseled before during my first coming I do once more. Let us flee from pursuing shadow and face issues as men and women who though have disagreements do not carry on as if we are in for this vengeance. The more we continue to discuss side issues the more distracted we are from serious business. The business I am in is not that of campaign of calumny rather one that is working towards making the world and Nigeria come to terms with the crime against Biafra. The spirit of Biafrans need to be assuaged, self determination/independence is not a bad idea.
I just want to say that, I am glad to note that, all is fine by you. It’s a while we got in touch. Let’s hear from you, if and when you can.
Guy’s & Adaora Amanda, much as I’ll agree it is problematic the way things are, I will nonetheless, enjoin all to focus on the real goal. Sometimes, we must learn not cry over split milk. That’s all I can say as of now. Just like Ohafia, my weekend has started with some glass of wine.
All you Yankees, while you are all sweating, I am about to retire in the cosy corner.
You lucky you! Over here, we're sweating alright. Infact, today has been scorching hot. Makes me wish I was back home in my village swimming and doing hide and seek in our village river...a perfect remedy for this hell heat! Oh well, I guess I'll make do with my meditative imagination.
Nigerians and indeed biafrans are control freaks. How else can anyone justify censorship?
Though, I hardly engage in confrontation with shadows, but when others do it, sometimes it is "the palm-oil with which yam is eaten".
It boils down to silencing peoples' voices. That heckling voice might have a very constructive opinion that could breathe a redeeming opinion in the presence of rhetorics.

HeIs: If you wish to discuss issues, just go ahead and do it. That will be a welcome change coming from you. But, if you wish to engage in calumny, the same way that Chuba, Olatunde, Ndigbo, nasounabe, and co. did, just be prepared to get back what you dish out. Nobody can stop this forum from doing the business of Biafra. Absolutely nobody. The distractions to Big Steve, and other noises are at their worst when you troublemakers from the other forum show up here to contribute nothing but incompetent defense of your fellow purveyor(s) of calumny at the other board. No one begged you to join BiafraNigeriaWorld. When ever necessary, we shall take the time to deal with those of you who come here to create distractions. That is not to say that we are not going to continue to do the business of Biafra. We shall.
Heis and Ndigbo is the person In will bet my MASSOB membership card on that. If you watch what the HEIS said and that stupid names he called Gani over at Nigeriaworld you will Know that they are the same person. Ndigbo came to Biafra world to spy and cause problems here.

Guys: Thank you all for your concerns and counsels. What is happening at Nigeriaworld is like what happened to Nigeria in all her era of pervasive injustices and military dictatorships. The problem still continues apace, since nobody wants to stand by the truth. I wish them the best at Nigeriaworld.
Nkem: Long time. My email is still the same. You can always drop a line. What happened to our record deal anyway? Email me.

Emi You are an osy moron, if you don't know what is going on why not keep your mouth shot or ask questions before you start blabing your mouth. Some of you are abusing the liberal policy of this board. Would you say that nonsense at Nigeriaworld and get away with it. Now that you have come in to dish out insults better be prepard to take it. The Biafrans here are not afraid of anybody.

I will discuss issue by telling you that it is wrong for a lot of us to pour invectives on other people just because they have opposing views. Another thing I want to correct here is that the Chuba (the one that claimed Delta State) that once graced this board is not the same as the erudite Chuba of Nigeriaworld. Chuba of Nigeriaworld hails from Idemmili Local govt of Anambra State. I have written, urging him to bring his wonderful inputs here and he assured me that once the time comes he will do just that. Though I do not agree with him some of the time but I believe he will be of a tremendous access to this site. Ndigbo say, "ofu nne n'amu mana ofu chi adighi eke." Our lives were/are not formed by the same events. As par your threat, why should you be threatening somebody you never met. You don't know the compendium of my arsenal. That's not right, broda. The funny thing is that the only option you have when you want to deal with me is to ban me. Erudite broda M.O. Ene would say, "anything else is embellishment."
Joe Onwuatuegwu,
You made me laugh. Spy! Is there any Biafra national secreet you have here? This is an 'open' site and why does one need a spy to know what is going on here. We all can see it. I don't belong to the inner clique that says anything, heaps curses and abuses on fellow forumites and gets free. I don't get any secreet to divulge. Don't be suprise that I crave for Biafra more than you do and I don't know why you should come up with such frivolities.
'Sista' Amanda Wekson,
You know that the only thing to do to me is to ban me. I have done my best to keep us focused. I was brought up to respect strangers and I respect everyone of us here. Threat and threat, why? If you think I talk BS why not just ignore me instead of threats? I agree with most of the things you say and disagree with some because you are you and we don't have the same chi. Let us learn to tolerate. Should we decide to go to war with Nigeria today would you kill me because I believe that attacking Nigeria from the north flank is better than your idea of attacking from another flank? We have to argue it and see reasons. What is happening to our culture? In our Igbo culture we have elders, nze and ozos who sit, make and vote on decisions. They don't abuse, attack or excommunicate people because they have differsnt views. They do that when they defile the land. I have not done that. Stop the attacks!

HeIs: I have just read your lousy posts and I must say that people like you are the reason that Igbos are murdered around Nigeria. What makes you think that Amanda or Jude have the power to ban you? Is Amanda or Jude the boardmaster? I see you speak very boldly only amongst Igbos or when you are here at BiafraNigeriaWorld. But, at Nigeriaworld, you a nothing but a fat and docile sissy, pussy-footing around all the Igbo-haters over there. We know that the bold Igbos at Nigeriaworld have all been banned, except for just a few who are new there. When Gani was banned, your only suggestion was that he should plead with the boardmaster of Nigeriaworld. But, you can sit here and run your wretched mouth about an anticipated ban that you claim Amanda and Jude have the power to carry out. You have NOTHING in your "arsenal" that we care about. If your goal here is to cause disruption, you will regret that you
