What do you expect from the "ofemmanu", Biafranigeria is finished. __________________________________
The chairman of the Christians Pilgrim Board and erstwhile Governor of Ondo State in the Third Republic Evangelist Bamidele Olumilua has stated that inspite of the pre-dominance of the Alliance for Democracy in the South west geo-political zone, "there is a change of views in Yoruba land in favour of a second term for President Olusegun Obasanjo."
Olumilua who spoke exclusively toTHISDAY recently in Tel-Aviv while monitoring Nigerian pilgrims in the holyland explained that the refusal of the Yorubas to support President Obasanjo initially was in protest over what they considered a consipracy against the June 12 elections won by the late M.K.O Abiola.
"But a lot of things have changed. The Yorubas and certain people in Nigeria were angry that it was persecution against the Yorubas through the announcement of June 12. But Obasanjo has changed and things have changed to the point there anger is no longer sustainable," he remasked.
He maintained that "we have not stopped in durmming it into the ears of our people that the rotational presidency principle is silently and quietly there. In addition to the quality of the man, the Yorubas have a reason to support him fully. If you don't support your son, it is a sign of madness."
On whether the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) can sweep the polls of in Ekiti State, Olumilua affirmed that "grabbing Ekiti will be a hard job but a lot of things have changed in favour of the PDP and certainly we will triumph by 2003."
He praised President Obasanjo for uplifting the lot of the middle class, impelementing on the privatisation exercise, anti-corruption crusade which he said has changed the attitudes of Nigerians and image of Nigeria abroad and the introduction of the Global System Mobile Telecommunication network during his tenure in the country.

It is understandable that the Yoruba would want four more years for President Obasanjo. Why not? Yoruba people have taken over the country. As Obasanjo sees it the only criminals in Nigeria are whet you crackpots call Hausa-Fulani. Abacha and IBB are accused of every crime in the book. Ganiyu Adams and Fasheun, two known terrorists, are on the loose. But, the widow and son of Abacha are trapped in prison by Obasanjo.

Pardon my ignorance but what is this Hausa-Fulani thing that I read/hear about everytime I read about Nigerian politics and Nigeria? Are this people one people with a common language and culture? Is their a Fulani language or do they all speak Hausa and if so, why the distinction? Thanks.

Have you noticed that Obasanjo has not called Adesanya a "rascal" who is "needs to have his head examined?" There are also no Yoruba spigets shooting their mouth off at their Pa Adesanya. When Ojukwu stated that the Biafra option was our prerogative, every Igbo efulefu left for Abuja to reassure the Oduduwa snake that inhabits Aso Rock. Posts: 397 | Registered: May 2001

The Abuja boyz a.k.a aremu men are having the time of their lives. It was after they mobbed Ojukwu and forced him to speak in a measured fashion that I discovered that we are up against something very sinister.
If they think my generation will take "it" lying down, they are sadly deceived.

In the mean time, Aluko is going around the Internet ranting and whining about about BiafraNigeriaWorld.
We know we are doing an excellent job when Igbo-haters, such as Mobolaji Alauko start to tell people that we are not acting in Igbo interest. To Alauko, the efulefus are acting in Igbo interest.
We are paying you back for your ingratitude for what Ndigbo did for you and your family. We don't tell you how to be Yoruba. Don't tell us how to be Igbo. Any Igbo worth his salt knows that you are an Igbo hater that should be avoided.

We must remain steadfast and firm in our core values and beliefs regarding human freedom and liberty as it pertains to the peoples of BiafraNigeria and West Africa. The likes of Aluko must get it out of their heads that they can dictate to Igbos the approach we must adopt or path we must take.
My questions to Aluko are quite straight-forward and simple: (i) On what basis do you offer advice to Igbos? (ii) Have you had your whole family wipe out because of their nationality/ethnicity? (iii) Have your family/village/nationality suffered mass rape that many Biafrans were subjected to in your shameless one-Nigeria? (iv) Do you really understand "genocide" and it's impact?
Mr Aluko, I read your piece referred to by Dr. B with interest. I do not beg for empathy, but I believe real humans should have empathy. In the event that you are unaware, the dark recessess of the typical nigerian-mind you possess is on display.

Alauko is an insane liar, Ohafia produced London times exact publication of Awo's wickedness and confronted Alauko with this fact at egbeomo.com . The story then changed to who said it first Enahoro or Awo, as though it makes any difference as to who started genocide first. I believe that information is still available at egbeomo archives. I can only conclude Alauko is insane, like his egbon Aremu, New Biafra has made him mad.

Bolaji Aluko is a sad case. The only way of explaining his behaviour is by accepting that blokes from his part of the world routinely speak from both sides of the mouth.
You wait, tomorrow they will say Obasanjo has never said Sharia is unconstitutional simply because the comedian has succombed to the hausa-fulani threat to make him redundant and now thinks sharia is constitutional.
Aluko is a habitual liar who has no love whatsoever for the truth. Even at the discussion at Egbeomo.com which Chiboy referred to he denied making some statements within the same thread until I reproduced them with time and dates. What is his probem?
His burden of guilt must be weighing him to death. Note how the clown cleverly dropped Saro wiwa's name in other to garner support from the NigerDelta. They only need to read his contributions at the Akwa Ibom site to know the kinda guy he is.
The interesting thing is that the louder he talks the more we get to know the extent of his papa's involvement in the Biafran war. They guy was rehabilitated at UNN when Akintola sacked and kicked him out of Oduduwa land. He did not relent in his AG activities and was very familiar with the Nsukka terrain. The guy was also in Awo's entourage to Ojukwu, and Bolaji told Alexie at Egbeomo that his dad was surprised when ojukwu declared war after their departure from the Enugu meeting. But we know that Nigeria fired the first shot from Nsukka and when I confronted hi on that he flared up.
The Egbeomo thread on awolowo actually begins with a speech from Ige as recently as Y2K in comemoration of Awo. The very first sentence (if my memory serves me well) goes something like this: "forget Ojukwu's grouse with Awo.........". Now that was Ige making reference to something everybody knew including the US archive. It is something Aluko would have us believe never happened. Ige knew it happened and was asking his audience not to allow that to distract from the ecomiums or eulogies he was about to pour on the dead Awo.
Of Awolowo, Ojukwu said "that was a funny one.." Having lived in England for a while, I think I know exactly what Ojukwu means. Bolaji aluko is a funny one!
