1) An effort to antagonize cameroon and Nigeria over Bakassi has failed, at least, till today.
2) All efforts to keep stolen land in Zimbabwe is in vain thanks to Mugabe.
3) Charles Taylor refused to give away liberian oil, he then becomes bad. If he had accepted, there wouldn't have been any indiction for war crimes.
4) Mbeki failed to give blacks in South Africa their land. Today, it is question of where to put Mandela's atatue in London. From time to time Beckham is sent to chat with mandela as if the latter has nothing else to do.
5) On the TV, I saw some Congolese in a hospital. According to the report, they had been attacked by neighbours with machets. There seemed to be Uk and French army heading there to protect the population and acting under UN. Which UN? The west should stop deceiving themselves as well as black people through illegitimate regimes.
6) What do the G8 discuss every year when they meet, how to sustain Africa, leave their land and resources for them? Believe that and you will believe anything? It is rather saying to Obasanjo and Mbeki, "I am going to ask them to give you money, you can come and witness it yourself, do you see me?"
7) etc
It is time black people think a little deeper and protect that continent. Anybody who failes to contribute towards that goal should not complain for anything in the future. It is time to leave blacks take over, after centuries of colonization and exploitation.

Well said Sylva. I agree with u completely. I've always been of the view that the west was never interested in helping Africa. Instead they are actually aggravating the sorry situation in the continent by supporting currupt regimes that do their bidding. If you look closely, you'll realize that they are not always interested in African conflicts in regions they consider to be of little economic potential. Until they stop treating Africa as economic colonies and source of cheap raw materials, there will never be a positive change. Why didn't they move into Rwanda when the genocide was going on?. Some reporter from bbc was castigating the U.S for keeping away from the affairs of Liberia and I just wondered whether the idiot ever thought of his own country britain. If the british vampire bats kept away their evil and blood thirsty fangs away from biafranigeria, we will be in a different situation today. god, I hate the damned hypocrites!. See how they are mouthing off about zimbabwe but conspicuously silent on nigerian (s)elections. They actually sent their deputy prime minister to the inauguration!. When a few white farmers died in zimbabwe, the vampires kept barking night and day but when the ape obasanjo murdered 3000 ppl in odi, barely an eyebrow was raised. As for that moron mbeki, the less said about him the better. Britain never left nigeria, it is still there controlling it through Hausa-Fulani caliphate. The unfortunate thing is that most northerners have fallen behind almost in all aspects of human development and have consequently become largely dependent. This is a receipe for a future disaster of unimaginable proportions.
It is part of the double standards being noticed all over the world. There two reasons for the above: 1) Some countries do not want democracy in third world countries. It is very evident but anybody who does not understand that can always ask questions. It is therefore left to the citizens of third world countries to fight for democracy in their countries, counting on themselves first.
2) Interests: it has some connections with the above as well.

Did the West tell this man from the third world to set himself on fire? No, I think he is just another miseducated muslim man, a potential future terrorist.

Ednut, As much as the article above is concerned, they are accused of nothing. It is important that Nigerians/Africans learn from that, not to trust people who do not believe in freedom and democracy for all, who think that freedom is good only for the oyibo.
All, Those who criticize some prominent Igbo like Ojukwu could be corrected if justified, using their email addresses. Such articles on the internet or even on some Newspapers bear their email addresses. That would permit us to correct any unjustified criticism if necessary.

If Haliburton and their subsidiary Kellogs Brown and root ever decide to go beyond their business interest in that forsaken place and begin to dabble into the politics of tax breaks etc, Then perpetual doom is assured for Niger Deltans, Biafrans, and any disenfranchised groups who want either an exit or a profound restructure.
That Aremu cavalierly confessed in his boast in his Bayelsa state visit some years back that the civil war was fought for "resource control" is an indication that all those images of Biafran kwashiorkor from which many felt comfortably far removed, and the present images of dehumanised forlorn misery juxtaposed with faces of vicious animousity which we see in Congo, Sierra-leone, and Rwanda (during their pogroms) with an other-worldly sense of removal, is not too far from repeating itself sometime soon in our neck of the woods again.
It is not countries that attack Africa, It is to selfish, greedy, and cold hearted owners of multinational conglomerates who can appoint and remove nations presidents to whom we must plead in miserable agony:
How long? Please let my people go.
It is of these cold hearted shylocks we must pray unceasingly for Almighty God to show them they are but mere mortal.
The rest of the dregs and footsoldiers (from third word nation presidents down to sellout governors and petty ministers) who perform their dirtywork? These are easier to dismantle than their all powerful mien may appear today.

Ukaobasi is very correct in his assessment here. African countries do not need to be attacked by a foreign power when they are internal fifth columnists in these countries eager to be hired for pennies.
Take the recently concluded (official) war against Iraq for example when the totality of the Iraqi army defending Baghdad simply pulled up and disappeared because their commanding officers were bribed into capitulation. Also, I hear that the Iranian professional military had similarily been penetrated except for its revolutionary guards.
I do not know what African country with a standing professional army that cannot be bribed into surroundering thus making a direct attack or invasion unnecessary. One lesson we may need to learn for the future is to put more reliance into a militia than a professional army. In Iraq, the militia or Fedeyeen acquainted themselves whereas the standing army including the much touted Republican Guards, meted at the first sign of American dollars. Enjoy!
I do agree that Nigerians/Africans contribute to worsen the situation inNigeria/Africa. But there are other factors in which foreign powers attempt to destroy the country completely. You and Ukaobasi have cited some examples, which show that foreigner powers are ready to pay anything to loot Nigeria and keep her down. Not one or two countries, but at least three dangerous ones.
So, what do we do. I suggest that while criticizing nigeria or Nigerians, we keep those foreigner out. We can do it because most of us in diaspora understand what they do, which most people in Nigeria do not.
Nigeria is not attacked because those countries succeed in getting what they want, but if we have a better govt they frustrate their plans, we might hear of regime change.
Obasanjo is there because he is executing foreign powers policies. we can and should stop it and give priority to the needs of Nigerians.
As concerns God, it is time to let Nigerians understand that there is no God. That could wake them up a bit. The following article, though manipulative, would help understand some of the key issues:
Scramble for Africa
Fear of corruption and chaos in oil rush
Charlotte Denny, economics correspondent Tuesday June 17, 2003 The Guardian
quote:Washington's determination to find an alternative energy source to the Middle East is leading to a new oil rush in sub-Saharan Africa which threatens to launch a fresh cycle of conflict, corruption and environmental degradation in the region, campaigners warn today. The new scramble for Africa risks bringing more misery to the continent's impoverished citizens as western oil companies pour billions of dollars in secret payments into government coffers throughout the continent. Much of the money ends up in the hands of ruling elites or is squandered on grandiose projects and the military.
Tony Blair will today urge the oil industry to be more transparent in its dealings with Africa. Openness and accountability are essentials for stability and prosperity in the developing world, he will tell oil company executives and oil exporting countries at a meeting in Lancaster House in central London.
African countries own 8% of world oil reserves. An estimated $200bn (£125bn) in revenues will flow into African government treasuries over the next 10 years as new oilfields open up throughout the Gulf of Guinea. Oil will bring the largest influx of revenue in the continent's history, and more than 10 times the amount western donors give each year in aid. http://www.guardian.co.uk/oil/story/0,11319,979053,00.html

So far you were making some sense until you uttered the following statement:
quote:As concerns God, it is time to let Nigerians understand that there is no God. That could wake them up a bit.
That sure woke me up! TUFIAKWA!!! You cannot be an Igboman.
Those who believe as you espouse in the quotes above can therefore consider themselves to be no different than common animals. If so, then there are no higher values that justify any of our expressed aspirations since like animals on a fixed place in the food chain, the Blackman must wait to be decapitated and devoured by a stronger and fitter animal being the Oyiboman as it were.
In the strongest and most vehement of terms, I reject and abhor such a sentiment as your statement above and strongly urge you to review your whole purpose and outlook in life for your own eternal good.
This is only my personal opinion of course.

I think what Silva meant is that you cannot prove or disprove the existence of God. I have found that it is best to keep God out of money matters, economic development issues and properity of nations. These are human inventions, and those nations that pursue these engagements without the emotional bagage of religion or without looking up to God for assistance, win more often. On the other hand, victim nations are usually populated with people who waste their time listening to subliminal or overt messeges about God designed to lure them into inaction on these matters, and keep them from recognizing that it is about producing results, which can be measured in terms of how well your population is doing. It is also about competition between nations. Simple! Any tools you can employ including religion to achieve your aim is allowed. This is why western nations are rich and prosperous, while their leaders encourage the preaching of paradise-after-death to captive third world people.
You have to realize that the west has a lot of tools in the war to secure prosperity for themselves and their future generations. Religion is a major item in the toolbag. Without expunging western religion from these activities, Africa has no chance.

I noted the explanation you gave above. It seems that the crux of your explanation revolves round the fact that there needs to be at some real distinct level, a separation of Church/religion from the State. It appears that you are saying that people should keep religious cum philosophical ideologies separate from fiscal and economic policies. If thats what you are saying, trust me, I am all for it.
However, is that what Sylva was actually saying there? He is more than capable of expressing himself, as evidenced by his numerous contributions on many topics, so wouldn't you consider it expedient that he explain himself here? This is not to discount the opinion you may have shared, but you would agree with me that it is sometimes necessary to hear from the horse's mouth per se. He might be saying something totally different from what you just said , but if he is not he could indicate that you have superbly summarized his sentiments on the subject.
To make my point a little bit more clear, how does one reconcile the definitive statement by Sylva : "As concerns God, it is time to let Nigerians know that there is NO God" with the speculative rejoinder that you have given :"I think what Sylva meant is that you cannot proveORdisprove the existence of God"?
Sylva, I must say that the much awaited explanation of yours is taking a long time to come but I am willing to make exceptions that you might have just been terribly busy lately.
That must have been a big shock to you. It must be very hard to hear that the only person you count on to come to your help does not exist. Or I that you have the habit to go to church once a week, on sunday for example, and if there is no God, what will you be doing on sundays? I do understand a little of your reactions but not to the extent of excluding me from ala Igbo. That reaction must have come according to his(God's) will.
I think that we have some work to do on tolerance. In western countries where you live, does everyone believe in God or in his existence? Does everyone believe that God exists in Nigeria/Africa? If some people have the right to preach that there is God, why is it that other people cannot preach that there is none.
For those who studied philosophy, you must have gone through all the topics on the existence of God.
If we want to create a free, democratic, progressive society(Igbo, Nigeria, etc) where everyone's rights and duties are recognized, then we have to leave God out of it.
But before I explain my statement above, I would like to wait a little in case other Igbo would like to give their views.
Till latter.

Sylva,
You have de-constructed my motives so expertly. I am mightily impressed.
I suppose this is where I should launch into a liberal philosophical discourse to demonstrate the far reaching extents of my western educational liberation of thought from the shackles of religious ideology? And then from there, possibly dovetail it into the context of the thread at hand in a give and take exchange to display the sophistication of our intellectual maturity.
Wrong!
I have expressed my initial instinct in its purest form. I stick by it.
I must confess that I am less than fascinated for what seemed like a sarcastic response, possible paranoia-induced regurgitations or else the diversionary counter-interrogatives that you just dropped. Are these supposed to be clarifications?
You stated inter alia,
quote:That must have been a big shock to you. It must be very hard to hear that the only person you count on to come to your help does not exist. Or I that you have the habit to go to church once a week, on sunday for example, and if there is no God, what will you be doing on sundays?
If you note carefully, in the two replies that I have posted on this thread that you initiated, I have not demonized you for whatever beliefs you may have or not have. So I am at a loss as to how to explain what seems to me to be veiled mockeries, subtle innuendo or perhaps even, a sense of being cornered on your part. How else does one characterize this outburst when all we were asking for was a little explanation/clarification on your part? Furthermore, as if you must feel that people are ganging up on you because of your non-belief in the existence of God, or rather, your belief in the non-existence of God, you went ahead and sneeringly suggested or perhaps pre-empted that:
quote: For those who studied philosophy, you must have gone through all the topics on the existence of God.
Therefore, in your effort to ostensibly extricate yourself from the knot that you may have unknowingly tied, divert attention, and in one fell swoop, theorize on the said subject, you offered this quasi-innocuous reply:
quote: If we want to create a free, democratic, progressive society(Igbo, Nigeria, etc) where everyone's rights and duties are recognized, then we have to leave God out of it.
May I remind you Sir, that you were the first one to introduce God into this thread? The discussions had been flowing smoothly, and I daresay, a lot of people agreed with the points you raised before you deviated and of your own accord, decided that it was time to ‘wake Nigerians up’ by informing them that ‘there is NO God’! Why doesn’t this sound duplicitous? Indeed why the sanctimonious indignation?
So, when you began your lecture on ‘tolerance’, by stating
quote: I think that we have some work to do on tolerance. In western countries where you live, does everyone believe in God or in his existence? Does everyone believe that God exists in Nigeria/Africa? If some people have the right to preach that there is God, why is it that other people cannot preach that there is none.
it behooves me to point out painstakingly that your line or argument is like putting the cart before the horse. The issue here is NOT that you are NOT permitted to hold whatever views you have on this subject. Rather the onus is on you to CLARIFY/EXPATIATE/ELABORATE what you meant, when in a discussion as secular as this, you found it indispensable to tactlessly weave God into your otherwise ‘sound’ analysis hitherto.
It would appear as if you like hoarding information when you declared noncommittally that you are withholding a full explanation until other members of the board MIGHT have contributed, but if that is not the case Sir, could you now please inform us why Nigerians (who are not atheists), who most likely, may have nodded in apparent agreement upon reading your analysis so far, should now be suddenly AWAKENED and URGED to drop their belief in God (which I might add, had virtually no connection to the discussion at hand ab initio)? This entity, you profess, does not to exist, remember? So Mr. Sylva, without pussyfooting or employing diversionary antics in your next reply, could you explain why you felt compelled to educate nay awaken Nigerians to recognize YOUR ASSERTION that ‘”there is NO God”?
In retrospect, I feel that, had you accepted Amadi’s paraphrase, you would have either removed that unnecessary sentence or else modified it to correct what seems to be a bridge in communication. But since it is now patently clear that you are saying something else, go ahead and explain to us how a God, that you deny his existence has now suddenly grown so THREATENING, hence the desire to AWAKEN those Nigerians that may (foolishly?) believe in him. The ball is in your court. Ehmm, no spin please!

Egbe belu Sylva Nwokem! Please answer this question. I don’t like ‘big grammar’. Just answer the question. Instead of answering a simple question, you have delivered a wrapped up baggage instead.
My patient is wanning so I am going to unwrap your baggage for you. This is what you said…..
Sylva
quote: As concerns God, it is time to let Nigerians understand that there is no God.
And this is part one of your answer……
Sylva
quote: I think that we have some work to do on tolerance. In western countries where you live, does everyone believe in God or in his existence?
Sylva thinks that some people are not tolerant of the fact that he does not believe in God’s existence, in simple terms Sylva believes that there is NO GOD.
quote: ……why is it that other people cannot preach that there is none (NO God).
Sylva wants to preach to us that there is no God and he thinks that some people are trying to say that he cannot.
I believe Ukaobasi gave this pre-emptive response with my above clarification as his conclusion.
quote: In the strongest and most vehement of terms, I reject and abhor such a sentiment as your statement above and strongly urge you to review your whole purpose and outlook in life for your own eternal good.
I see this as a good insightful advice.
In simple terms I say “Tufiakwa” to this attempt by Sylvanus to preach that there is no God.
Sylvanus you have been making a lot of posts which seem to make a lot sense but now I am going to review all the ideas that I might have absorbed from your previous postings and ignore any future ideas you peddle. This is simply my personal action of choice based on my own beliefs.
We are dealing with issues of about 50 million people here and lives are at stake, foundations are being laid for the future and it has to be laid on ‘rock’ and not on ‘Sand’.
The United States of America was created with separation of Church and State as a big agenda but the foundations were laid a rock not on sand. If not you will not be there today making the kind of statements you have made thus.
As a Christian, the word “Tolerance” ‘is not in my dictionary’ as we will say. I will be very cautious with anybody who tolerates me. We Love instead not tolerate. Only the Holy Spirit can give you that Love and nothing else.
Sadly I think in one swoop you have mashed up all the hard work you have been doing in my eyes at least.

Sylva: Why dedide to destroy the well-running thread you started? If you (Sylva) meant to say (as I imagine) in your statement that YOU as an individual does not believe in the existence of God and said so in SIMPLE ENGLISH, then you would have safed yourself the UNNECESSARY attacks.
For instance, if you mean that you dont believe in God this days because of the way some African leaders, Obasanjo included, have used God's name in vain or have abused religion in general, then I dont think anyone who has been following events in Nigeria since the "messiah" came into office in 1999 will disagree with you. But to generalize that "there's no God," or to give a carpet suggestion that ALL Nigerians/Africans must believe same is practicing the INTOLERANCE you claim to be against.
What will happen to the many genuinely Godly (not religious) people from Igboland where you say you come from if we are to apply your theory to the fullest?
The mistake some of you make is that in trying to show some mastering of the english language ( which like every language no one can safely say he/she can speak or write it 100%,) you sometimes end up appear to be ill-intentioned while the reverse may just be the case.
All, Lets just leave the discussion about religion/God out of this thread and rivert to the topic of this thread. The question was/is: Who is likely to attack African countires? My answer is: the Africans themselves.
How is that so and how/when will it stop? When the African elite who loves America and Europe than his village starts thinking and investing home; when the African politicians who loves saving in Swiss banks start making our respective countries stable so that those in diaspora can feel comfortable to live, work and save there. Its only when the above and more is done by we Diasporians and those at home can we point fingers at the Westerners who are just OPPOTUNISTS.
WE AFRICANS (both the rulers and the ruled) ARE OUR OWN ENEMY AND CAN AS WELL BE OUR OWN BEST FRIENDS IF WE WANT TO.

Nwa aro, I will come back to your intervention.
All, There some interesting religious issues on Nigeriaworld.com/messageboard. You may like to have other people's opinions, including mine of course. Latter.

Nwa Aro, My reference to God was due to the above statement. If some people believe that God can do all for us, which he has not done till now, then I do not see why we should not tolerate different opinions: that God cannot do anything for us because there is none.
Then you wrote:
quote:What will happen to the many genuinely Godly (not religious) people from Igboland....
My answer is that they will take care of their destiny instead of being brainwashed by foreigners. Already when I read the above statement by you, I found it difficult to believe that you who is supposed to be more enlightened that many in Nigeria, can link the destiny our our people to religion. I found it very frightening. Even if you believe in the existence of God, imagine a minute that God does not exist, where do you think that your above statement will lead some Igbo?
All, We need a society where everybody is free to say whatever they like without being afriad of attack by ukaobasi or other persons. Not only it is our right but it makes us more tolerant, since nobody is forced to do what we advocate. But it gives everyone the opportunity to weigh the pros and cons before making a decison.
As I have pointed out in one or two occasions, if you take the Oxford dictionary and thesaurus, you will see that one of the examples used to illustrate the verb 'to be' is "there is no God". This illustration was not due to lack of ideas on the part of the editors, but because they believe that there is no God. Had Ukaobasi the possibility to prevent it being printed or tear the dictionary for that reason, he could have done it.
We can see the effect of intolerance in BiafraNigeria. In ala Igbo, why is it too difficult for our so called leaders to seat down round a table, debate on different subjects, carry on a vote and then adhere to the choice of the majority. It is because some of them are not even ready to hear something they do not like, talk less of abiding by them. But we have no choice than to make that supplementary effort to accommodate other views, if we want to progress.
So, let our people be more enlightened, let there be choice for everybody. We do not need to ask anybody or anything to provide that choice for us. We can.

Sylva,
How convenient.
For all who may be familiar with my postings in any manner on this forum, Nowhere have I substituted our responsibilities toward action with my inclination to invoke God’s guidance and prescence and grace in our sojourn whether we utter Igbo, Biafra, Nigeria with confedration, Africa, Blackman, Human, in any breath. Those who choose to research such of my postings may feel free to click on “search” and inform us of their findings.
Your Rabid torment by my reference to God in the statement you quoted in response to NwaAro above does not qualify the intensity of pain you must have harbored and nurtured from such a comment clearly taken out of context. Now at the expense of my comment above, you have positioned to project your western aquired “enlightenement” having profusely visited the dictionary enough times to generate for yourself, your deepest sense of self. Your purpose in life. I can see it now; some carry their bibles, or read up on the great philosophers. Others cuddle their dictionaries and thesauruses, searching for deeper meaning.
While many are free to interprete my posting anyhow they wish, the attempt to codify my reference to God as a capitulation to passivity in taking bold steps as African peoples amounts to nothing but mischief and empty fabrication. Those who desire to run with that thought are free and more than welcome to do so. It is rather interesting that Sylva has finally stated the cause of his gripe, and being as shallow and contorted as it is, he has sought (as a crutch) quick and convenient succour in Amadi’s previous attempt to rationalize Sylva’s own possible intent.
Now on behalf of Africa and the Blackman and in self-righteous indignance, Sylva is out (at my expense) on the rampage to set us straight and bring us erring lily livered passifists to “enlightened” order. Whipping us into shape as it were.
Bandying “UKAOBASI” in further commentary he continues:
quote: All,
We need a society where everybody is free to say whatever they like without being afriad of attack by ukaobasi or other persons.....
......Had Ukaobasi the possibility to prevent it being printed or tear the dictionary for that reason, he could have done it.
Sylva,
Or whatever you go by, I did’nt know I gave you so much nightmares. Take it eassyyyy. Down boy. Down. I can see that some loose nuts and bolts have fallen off your mental faculties afterall. You are barking up the wrong tree, I am not in competition with you.
Now, however, from the above comment you quoted from me, I know that you must have been in slow torment, before you mustered up the venom to strike. You did’nt need to suffer through all that.
If you found offense in what I wrote you didnt need to go seething and boiling in your own bile. You could have asked for a clarification and I would have gladly explained my comment above to you. But like a slimy snake you recoiled into yourself to nurse a non-existent injury, and concluded you would avenge it through an oblique and cynical attack against what you percieved would get my attention.
My instinctive response to you was not something that was premeditated or deliberated over in any fashion, nor did it bear any intent toward malice. I merely told you what I felt and I stand by it (whether you now want to use my comments to paint me as intolerant or not). I may have been quite harsh in questioning your Igboness, but then who knows? Absolutely nothing wrong with not being Igbo, but you dont have to pretend about it, unless you are at BNW with unwholesome ulterior motives, then in that case hang tight my brother and keep typing away. Yes. Feel free to liberally sprinkle your vacuous comments with the phrase “Ala-Igbo” as your licesse to Igboness.
Like I said before, you are one heck of a prolific typist. Now whether half the things you type make sense in any semblance of sincerity or mental tightness, or whether they are original (or merely gleaned from the half baked thoughts culled from your friends at Nigeriaworld) is another matter altogether.
Rest assured you have my blessing to type away. Invoke my handle in any manner you wish, your motives are your own to mull. The more you do the more you expose what has been eating away at you long before you decided to join BNW and inundate it with paralysis from reading your mental contortions.
