a) he was seen by the Awoist as an enemy after the controversial circumstances your Awolowo was kept out of becoming Nigeria's president in 1979..Nwa Aro
Rebuttal: Please recall that the golden face of the Awoists in YorubaLand.. Chief Lateef Jakande contested and lost an election in Lagos state pre-1999. Does that tell you something about the perceived influence of the awoists on Yoruba Politics?
b) since Obasanjo was squared against a "true Yoruba," most Yorubas (as they have often done) decided to vote for a fellow tribalist in the person of Olu Falae... Nwa Aro
Rebuttal: If you are a keen follower of Yoruba politics, you will not fail to realise that either by acts of ommission or commission, Ogun state has produced for the Yorubas the bulk of public servants, technocrats, and what have you..up to and including the president. There are no true Yorubas and fake Yorubas so to speak. What the Yorubas look out for in leaders are important qualities such as intellect, education, affability, love of fatherland, honesty, urbane disposition, and so on. Olu Falae as compared to Obasanjo possesses the above skills in abundance. Even you can attest to this now. That is what the Yorubas saw in him in 1999. That he belonged to the Afenifere was an added quality. Majority of the Yorubas in 1999 were elated that Chief Bola Ige was not nominated for the position due to his extreme views against the other tribes in Nigeria vis-a-vis the Yorubas. Bola Ige could hardly be described as a Yoruba EFULEFU(in your word). As a matter of fact, his views about Yoruba hegemony ranks with those being espoused by Emeka Ojukwu in respect of the Igbo race. What the Yorubas did was try to put their best face forward, under the circumstance.
c)But now that bad boy has turned out to be a good home boy by giving the Yorubas plum jobs and contracts, .. Nwa Aro
Rebuttal: The plum jobs, from my own view are the Ministries of defence, finance, external affairs, petroleum, communication(NITEL),and internal affairs.A Yorubaman (Sunday Afolabi,who is a dye-in-the-wool Obasanjo apologist ) briefly occupied the Internal Affairs Ministry. All others were manned by Northerners. I stand to be corrected. With regards to contracts, one of the single largest contracts awarded to indigenous firms by his regime went to none other, the illustrious Igbo son, Alexander Ifeanyi Ekwueme to the tune of about a billion naira. Prior to the fallout between Obasanjo and maverick Jim, his company enjoyed tremendous patronage from OO's govt, Ike Nwachukwu is also a beneficiary, so also are the likes of Arthur Nzeribe, Anyim Pius Anyim, Emeka Offor. What im saying in essence is that the Yorubas ARE not favored unduely by Obasanjo.
d) and moreover, since the other candidates of the major political parties that vied in 2003 to occupy Aso-Rock were mostly non Yorubas, the Yorubas as usual went back into their reknowned TRIBAL POLITICS of supporting and voting (in some instances stuffing) the ballot-box with someone with a Yoruba name, face and togue...Nwa Aro
Rebuttal: History tells me(in fact, I witnessed this)that a Nigerian born of Katsina parents, with no tribal marks, and with a Fulani name..Shehu Musa Yar'Adua flatly trounced a notable Awoist in Lagos state in 1992. History also tells me that a notable Nigerian, born in Zungeru of Igbo parents, and with Igbo names, Nnamdi Azikiwe, contested and won an important Election in the heartland of Ibadan in the '50s against the "Shons of the Shoil". If the Yorubas could stuff ballot boxes, guess they would have made a career of it in 1979. Don't you think so?. I regret to say this, but the guys that stuffed ballot boxes in Ondo State(YorubaLand) in 1993 did not live to tell the story.

Can you hear yourself speak? When the Yorubas failed to speak up in the face of a perceived injustice, it was your eminent opinion that the whole race was embarking on a dance of shame. Now this?
I personally do not believe in the neccesity for OPC, but for those who do, below is their position on the current imbroglio about oil prices in Nigeria.
OPC Gives Obasanjo Ultimatum on Fuel Price --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Oodua People's Congress (OPC), has given President Olusegun Obasanjo, up till July 5 to reverse to the old pump price for petroleum products recently increased by the Federal Government or face dire consequences arising from the action.
The group said failure to reverse to the old price will amount to calling on platforms with which it shares similar ideas to demonstrate the desire for sanity in governance, and in support of the people as represented by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC).
In a statement signed by the group's President, Dr. Frederick Fasehun, stated that OPC frowned at the ongoing strike that has put "Nigeria on the spot and the lives of the people in economic jeopardy".
"We initially maintained an uncharacteristic silence in the face of the government-NLC face-off, believing that government would in no time alter its clearly anti-people posture, and revert to a reasonable position that will not further expose the people to unnecessary economic hardship", Fasehun said.
It further stated that the crucial element in the present face-off centred on the country's refineries, adding that a responsible government was ot known to be such that deceive her citizens in the course of the last four years. The OPC said that government inability to repair the refineries was clear demonstration of government's irresponsibility by asking the people to bear the brunt of its own negligence through the increase fuel higher rates for unnecessarily-imported fu

Due to time constrain I wont be able to correct certain historical inaccuracies contained in your last mail.
The issuance of a veil "ultimatum" by the OPC now that their private pocket is threatened is another example of the Yoruba double-standard most Igbo commentators talk of. For reminder, below is also a "threat" same Yoruba terorist group issued when those aggrieved at the last elections wanted to go onto the streets:
-------------------------------------------------- Daily Independent Online. * Wednesday May 28, 2003
Mass action is anti-Yoruba, says OPC
By Tokunbo Oloruntola
Daily Independent, Lagos
The Odua People’s Congress (OPC) yesterday warned that it would regard the proposed May 29 mass action against President Olusegun Obasanjo’s victory in the April 19 poll as a threat to the corporate interest of the Yoruba race.
The pro-Yoruba group, vowing to deploy its over five million members to protect the nascent democracy, also issued a veiled threat to the defeated Presidential candidates, Major General Mohammadu Buhari (rtd) and Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojuwu, who are allegedly planning to swear in themselves tomorrow as president.
Dr. Frederick Fasehun, the President of the OPC, who stated this at a press conference attended by representatives of the Ganiyu Adams faction in Lagos, said: “We view any mass action in any part of this country, especially if it is tied to the last elections, as a collective threat to our corporate existence as a race.
“In such a case, no one should be left in doubt about our ability to react accordingly and deal in equal measure to the assets, businesses and persons of our self-proclaimed enemies and their kinsmen.
“We pray that this is a bridge we will never have to cross,” the OPC leader added.
Accusing those planning the mass action as people who once waged war against Nigeria and violated the constitution, the OPC warned that the purported move to swear-in Buhari and Ojukwu tomorrow in Kano and Awka would spearhead the restructuring of the nation. --------------------------------------------------
One need not be an OPC insider to recognize that they issued the "ultimatum" you posted just because the increase in fuel pump price will affect them PERSONALLY. That is the Yoruba HYPOCRISY most Nigerians have severally noted, from which we Igbos have learnt our lessons from.

Today, is Independence day or 4th of July, to Americans and naturalized citizens, and aliens hoping to come to the land of Freedom, home of the brave, it is a sacred day. It is about the voice of the people not the court or the legislative.
I have watched with amusement some of you critic of Oshimola,his incompetence, to strike or not to strike, treason or no treason, and Yoruba or Noruba. I got news for you, freedom is not an easy adventure. For once, Oshomila took aside his yellow belly pride over bravery and passion for Biafranigerian working men and women...what is for the best interest of Biafranigerian labor force. The court may have ruled against the strike but but the voice of the people actually counts and Oshomila made the right decision. He knew of the consequences againt judicial restraint....death by police, injuries and the risk of imprisonment.
To understand liberty is to understand the interpretation of the law. America lives by the interpretation of the law. Liberty in the most literal sense is the negation of the law, for law is restraint, and the presence of over zealous restraint on the people is total anarchy. The court was wrong. They neglected the people's right to assembly and to speak out against the very government that is meant to protect and provide for them. The right to assemble and speak freely is not a priviledge but an inalienable right bestowed upon the poeple. For once this Yoruba man, Oshimolla excercised that right and should be commended for his actions, that is what democracy is all about, or is it?

WayPoint1Biafra, Surprises! Thank goodness, for once, you give credit to whom it is due. A clear departure from previous posts loaded with unbridled pessimism.
Nwa Aro, I have done a scan of my postings and i still have a hard time accepting to take responsibility for that line about hatred.
Certainly, you do not mean to tell this forum that "view/hate = hate." Review your own post.
quote:Originally posted by addy:
NwaAro, You have proven time and time again that my respect for you is not misplaced. Thanks for your usually engaging pieces.
quote:Have you in your pettiness forgoten that your "indomitable" double-speak Awolowo was the one who said "if the east go, the west will follow"?
It beats my imagination, like it should beat anyone's imagination, that a supposedly republican and liberated people will on the words of a politician, who at the time was barely on ground in his locality, go to an ill-prepared war that would turn out to cost over 1m lives. Wait a minute, and 36 years after, hold on to this faulty mantra as self-evident. I just do not get it. Obafemi Awolowo of 1966 was facing so much persecution from the powers-that-be, i.e NPC/NCNC, he had just lost his son to a freak accident and was fighting for his political life both in the West (Ladoke Akintola) and nationally (Balewa/Azikiwe) so much so that it would be impossible for him to rally even his immediate family in Ikenne to war. Now, an Oxford-trained Igbo blue-blood reportedly tied the fate of over 20m Yorubas to an innuocuos statement credited to him and headed to war with his people? Whao! Some 30 odd years after the war, the Igbos remain in the federation, things have not changed and more importantly, the Yorubas continue to receive oppobrium for any ailment that ails the Igbo. Maybe it's me, but i find ABSOLUTELY NOTHING of which any body should envy the Igbos, and I say this not to denigrate them but just as i passionately feel. I have a gut feeling that many Nigerians feel the same way.
quote:So far the failure of the Nigerian system to live up to what is expected of normal society justifies Ojukwu/Igbos's action of 1966. The fact that those of you who retained and stole from the Igbos after the civil war are suffering like (in some cases more than) the Igbos shows that Ojukwu was and is still RIGHT and Gowon and you Nigerians fought waht can best be described as LOSERS' WAR.
If the foundation of a house is compromised, the structure will definitely show signs of crack. I still shudder to think of what would have been, if Zik the beautiful bride had not sold his conscience, if Aguiyi Ironsi had gotten it right, or if Ojukwu had not excercised youthful exhuberance and had listened to the private advise of People like Awolowo- yes the same Awolowo, Nigeria may not be a failed state which it is today. There are not enough blame to go round y'know. Pray tell me, if the East was trying to secede, what was Ojukwu trying to accomplish by trying to overrun Lagos? hmmm.
quote:Away from his grass-root popularity in Igboland, ask any Nigerian jounalist and they will tell you that if you want to sell your paper, just have a chat with the EZEIGBOGBURUGBU and your paper will sell like hot cake
Like i said in a previous thred, majority of Nigerians view Ojukwu as an irritant whose face they will gladly be rid of. When he rides out his nuisance value, his latter day friends from Daura will gladly put him where he belong.
quote:Just like others before you, here you expose your hypocrisy again. You want the Igbos to reject Ojukwu, an Oxford-trained scholar and embrace semi-illiterates like Obasanjo. There's no harm in learning from ones mistake
I gladly accept the honor of being viewed in the light of "others before me". I am not bothered by your assessment of Obasanjo, as i have repeatedly tried to say. Yorubas know their heroes and leaders and I make bold to say that Obasanjo is nobody's hero, he is just a political neccessity in 2003.
quote:Be it in the know that we Igbos are not quarelling with the Yorubas (or other Nigerians) for voting for whom they want. Rather what we are angry about (as every people should) is a CLEAR conspiracy by the Yorubas and other Nigerians to dictate who rules over the Igbos and Igboland. If Obasanjo is good for you Yorubas in 2003, fine and good. But no one should tell us that we Igbos must either reject Ojukwu (and the APGA party) and embrace the obviously TRIBALISED and ANTI-IGBO Obasanjo. That's our case and it's a universal case
The Yorubas again. Where is the Yoruba conspiracy here?. The top echelon of PDP is sorely lacking in Yoruba representation, INEC is headed by a Bini man, Anenih is a south-south baron, etc, etc. Can someone explain the obvious Paranoia about Yoruba conspiracy please!!!!.
quote:Addy, could you give us any other explanation for the Yoruba silence if not because the accused is no more a Northerner (Abacha & co) but a fellow Yoruba (Obasanjo)?
Most news outlets operating out of Lagos are owned by non-Yorubas, why have they not spoken out? Why must the Yorubas always speak out? How many spoke out in 1979 when the Yorubas alleged that Awolowo was rigged out of the presidency, by no less a person than Obasanjo?. Just because he was serving your interest at the time, you heard nothing, saw nothing, and did nothing (pardon my spin).
Is Nwa Aro incorrect in pointing out "what you said ragarding how the Nigerians view the Igbos?" Or are you about to start splitting hairs about "feel" and "view?"

Nwa Aro: I believe that you are mistaken here. I pick my words carefully and i could not have said the above about the Igbo.I recall saying something to the effect of being the most clannish race on earth,definitely not the "most hated".( QUOTATIONS MINE) . I will be obliged if you are able to point out my post that said the exact quoted above, and i will offer my unreserved heartfelt apologies to the Igbo. ---Addy
Regina, Now, say, where is the proof in the above that you just posted?. One thing i found out in the above post of yours though, to any reader, the responses do not address the charges, what you did was to choose and pick out portions of each speaker's write-up with disregard for due representation of their thoughts as expressed in the original posts.
I was responding to the post you made directly after Nwa Aro's post of July 04, 2003 09:58 PM. I initiated my response to you before you modified your post to add the word "still" and some other changes. Therefore, your post was vague as to which instance of Nwa aro's reference to "hat[red]" you were refering to.

The vagueness that Regina pointed out is not the only defect in your writing. But, let’s not dwell on that.
One does not have to look too far to find the hateful sentiments that Nwa Aro was protesting. The hate inheres in the following statements in which you unequivocally confirm the odious bile, which you admit harbor in your gut for Nd’Igbo and which even today consumes you and your fellow Nigerians. It is a shame that you could shamelessly admit that following several waves of brutal murder of Igbos and Easterners through out your own Yorubaland and the North, your ilk and your leaders, beginning with Awolowo, could only be counted on to utter “innuocuos statement[s]”(sic). You have prided yourself enough for subtlety about your own writing that you should know that the words “innocuous” and “innocent” do not mean the same thing, and you appear gleeful about the hateful and devilish guile that your own choice of words, e.g., “innocuous,” clearly suggests that Awo was exhibiting in Enugu when he told Ojukwu that he (Awo) would lead the Yoruba out of BiafraNigeria if Biafra seceded. According to you, now
quote: an Oxford-trained Igbo blue-blood reportedly tied the fate of over 20m Yorubas to an innuocuos statement credited to him and headed to war with his people? Whao!
….
i find ABSOLUTELY NOTHING of which any body should envy the Igbos, and I say this not to denigrate them but just as i passionately feel. I have a gut feeling that many Nigerians feel the same way.
I suppose you are today exhibiting the same “innuocuos” guile that your leader, Awo exhibited in 1966-67 after Ojukwu released him from Calabar prison and took him to Enugu, from where he was safely escorted by Igbo and Ibibio troops to Ikene. A man guilty of a crime does not become absolved therefrom simply because the charges against him have been put in quotation marks.
Nwa Aro:
If you cannot find the exact quote, simply remove the quotation marks and level the exact same charges against addy. The charges will stick.

Sir, what is the diffrence between the Biafranigerian electorate and it's workforce that Mr. oshomole leads?, i will describe Oshomole's "bravery and passion" as a show of shame and cowardice, the actions of a compromised and puppet labour leader who rejected the calls of the well meaning Biafranigerians to fight fruad perpetueted by a dictator in the name of election but turn around to strike and negotiate the eventual fuel increase is like chasing rat while the house is on fire. my take is that Obasanjo and Oshomole are on a decietfull deal to confuse those they are supposed to lead.

Addy boy, I'm not here to impress your goddamed black heart. Or do I give a damn whether your a bleeding libral, democrats,Yellowbelly, Mohammed or from the parasitic race, so long as your priority is focused for the betterment of an average Biafranigerian, which most African leaders, [Obasanjo] do not have. You will certainly get my credit.
[b]OKWYONWUKA I believe it would be plausible if you could only take a moment and differentiate INEC and labor Union, represented by Oshimola. The later has an exclusive duty. He deals with wages, employment, safety and health that affects the average Biafranigerian worker. His job is to assess, analyze, and determine what is for the best interest of the nations labor force.
INEC/court primarily deals with election and fraud that follows with it. I guess what I'm saying is that "Oshimola" deals with the people that works with tools while INEC deals with people that seeks to govern the labor force. I hope you copy. Hail Biafra

quote:I guess what I'm saying is that "Oshimola" deals with the people that works with tools while INEC deals with people that seeks to govern the labor force.
Waypoint,
True, but the thrust of this thread is that the passive support of a labor leader whose responsibility covers all Biafranigerians (including Yoruba, Hausa Igbo, etc.) for a government that rigged itself into power, forcloses Oshiomholes moral right to protest against that same government on behalf of those same people who have been severally victimised by the illegitimacy of the govt displayed in its criminal policies and actions.
Taking Igbo people as an example, an eggregious crime was commited in rigging elections in the East thereby robbing Igbos of a cadre of leadership that could have been truly accountable to them instead of to unknown outside interests, thus enabling PDP and its collaborators whom it is obvious are all powerful to sweep back into power, and delay the evil day of Nigerias catastrophic demise instead of heralding a new dawn of true democracy by representation.
For those who in defense of Obasanjo will predictably remind us that the perpetrating Eastern governors are all Igbo or attempt to suggest that enough protests did not occur in Igboland to reject such imposition, I am now bringing to your attention that while all protests may be equal, we have now been made to see that "some are more equal than others", as proven by the farce of Oshiomhole's so-called window dressed protests which for its supposed intended goal to bring back fuel prices from 45 to 32, at best woefully fails at recognizing where the real source of his problems lie (being the arbitrary rules of an illegitimate govt), or at worst has availed itself as an agent to aid and abett the govts desire to distract attention from the legitimate protest (against illegitimacy of this govt) which the same NLC off handedly admonished in the first place as "capable of overheating the polity".
It is his hypocrisy in such a comment and position, at a critical time that afforded the likes of him an opportunity to be sincere for once in his leadership role that is at the root of my sarcasm in this thread toward his "protests against fuel hike" a hike which though being lesser in magnitude of impact on peoples fortunes (compared to the impact of illegitimacy of said govt) is nonetheless equally "capable of overheating the polity".
The likes of Oshiomhole are only born and bred in Nigeria. His personal fortunes have no doubt been very much improved since Aremu came along, and the commensurate gain in physical weight, transitory political power, and swagger in the delusion of self importance is what he now displays for the wrong reasons and in the claim of "fighting for the people"
Next, however, as usual in our "Africa", he will be looking for the usual southern solidarity from Igbos to support him when a different and hostile govt is in power and is about to put a bullet in his neck or hang him for trumped up and fabricated charges.
Or like Anenih and Ikimi will look for a desperate way to stay relevant and out of trouble by selling their expertise to the newest bidder at the usual expense of the human victims that would inevitably suffer from such.
But then, neither nemesis nor karma have ever be fooled.

I am surprised that people on this forum still respond to addy. This is a guy that makes statements that cannot be backed up, when challenged rather than retract and accept correction, he backs himself to a corner or digs a hole for himself. When he cannot dig any further, he vanishes from the forum for a few days hoping that all has been forgotten.
quote:...a hike which though being lesser in magnitude of impact on peoples fortunes (compared to the impact of illegitimacy of said govt) is nonetheless equally "capable of overheating the polity".
In other words, instead of being sincere and honest for once in his life and fighting to subdue and deliver the elephants carcas (Illegitimacy) to his constituents, in tandem with other aggrieved parties, Oshiomhole, being the hypocrite that he is has chosen to subdue and deliver the elephants droppings with the usual fanfair.
All because according to his personal calculus, Buhari = Potential Hausa victory. Ojukwu = potential Igbo liberty. Thus a potential for diminished personal power of Oshiomhole, therefore, a request for an interim govt while the much demanded tribunal goes about its work will "overheat the polity" QED.
This is sheer courage in action. An unadulterated display of the spirit of "Unity and Trust" in "the system" and the capacity of Nigerians to stand up for untainted justice.
These are the small minds whom perverted and ill disguised hate and envy against Igbos have blinded "Nigerians" to be decieved by.
May they be rewarded by their 10 or is it 15 Naira victory and the accompanying "hero status" which will continue to trail Oshiomhole at their expense.
Nigerians deserve every bit of him and his likes.

It is sad that BiafraNigerians allowed Oshi-na-ole to infiltrate the strike and call it off. Obasanjo is taking Biafra Nigerians for a ride and he thinks it is like haggling the price of crayfish.
Both of the evil duo should now be kicked aside by mass action. Another 4 years of Obasanjo must never be allowed to happen.

Once again the gullible have been taken for nasty ride in the name of mass protest. I must commend Adams Asshole and Aremu for being such good actors, but for how long will their charade continue before the scales fall off the eyes of the hapless workers ?
People should have paid greater attention to Nnanna Ocherome's write up and those 10 or so lives lost would have been spared. Does anyone need a rocket scientist to educate one on the foolishness of the NLC at accepting a price hike based on vodoo economics? Fuel is imported and current prices are set at the current value of the naira, so what happens when the naira depreciates further which we know is only a matter of weeks ? 34 naira will no more be profitable to Baba and the forty thieves who will once more make a case for market price, then Adams asshole will disrupt peoples lives once more with his pretence.
Forget all the talks of probing NNPC or fixing the refineries that is as likely to happen as fixing NEPA or BiafraNigeria airways, only fools will take consolation from such posturing. As usual the yellow press is all praises for this strike charade, but I salute this brothers courage as he continues to call a spade by it's ugly name
Sounds very much like you are on the payroll of Vanguard Group of Newspapers. I'm quite convinced.

Congratulations Mr Mota. You have written more than one line.
On Mr Adam Oshimole, this is just a case of running with the hare and chasing with the hounds. Here we had a labour leader who called his union to strike only after he had been threatened with removal, by his collegues in the labour movement. He goes to the negotiating table and attempts to push the government's position. This is all because he has been promised the Governorship of Edo State come 2007, by the PDP.
Welcome to Biafranigeriaworld and I'm quite sure you must be aware of the bullies out here. These guys can really suck it up, so beware. Watchout for the bad guys, people like Ukaobasi, NwaBiafra, Okwyonwuka, Oha Ka, Sylvia, Waypoint1Biafra and Wacko.
