The British Police arrested THIRTEEN BiafraNigerians of Yoruba origin at the crack of dawn in connection with the "boy Adam" torso.
It will be recalled that the young lad nick named "Adam" by the Police was specially prepared from Nigeria and flown to London where he was offered as a human sacrifice to an ancient Yoruba goddess. The discovery of his headless and limbless torso had elicited outrage from the general public with football star Nwankwo Kanu and Nelson Mandela making a public appeal for information that could aid the police in their search for his killers.
In another twist to the story the British Police has discovered that nearly all the arrested Yorubas do not have leave to remain in the UK. Impeccable sources confirmed that the leadership of the Yoruba nation is worried by this development which to them could be likened to the opening of the proverbial can of worms as a significant proportion of the Yoruba Londoners are illegal immigrants.
It will be recalled that Mr Obasanjo had at the behest of Afenifere sent two Yorubas Messrs Ajibola and Kolade as his ambassadors to the UK. A source told this reporter that the duo had been routinely granting diplomatic cover to many Yorubas who risked being deported to BiafraNigeria. A yoruba leader who pleaded anonimity had told this reporter that "it will be catastrophic if David Blunkett(Home Office Minister) descends on us. We will definitely have a refugee problem which we are ill eqquipped to deal with"

This is clearly a Yoruba sponsored terrorism. The Yoruba leadership is deeply involved in this crime. That is why they are afraid that the arrests could lead to more of their crimes being exposed. Let me see how any of them in this forum will explain this one. These Yoruba people have damaged the image of BiafraNigeria beyond repair. Posts: 397 | Registered: May 2001

The numbers seems to be rising, it appears that 21 people are under arrest. I hope non of the London/UK based Yoroba contributors are amongst those held. How about a roll call?

Hmmmmm, If this is true and not british propaganda ,then i will say that the Evil that Men do lives with them and continue with the Children . If the YOrobas will sacrifice human to OGUN in Nigeria,woman to Shango,twins to god of iron,male and female to god of wealth ,and use between seven to twenty one heads of innocent children/men to bury dead Oba,s, and the people of yoroba did not cry out against this local voodism,then it will not worry them if they decided to import some innocent children to make juju that will make them invisible to Immigrations in London/America or any place that they migrated to.But ask your self those children- are they picked from the bush ?or are they another woman baby ?if they are another woman baby and you stand to defend the abormination then it might be your children tommorrow. Woe unto those that have thier trust in demi gods that cannot walk,think,talk,reason or breath. They shall always be the victims and those that trust on the JEHOVA ALMIGHTY shall be the victors. Evil is evil and shall be called by it,s name !!. Have a change of heart and denounce occultism and evil worshipping. Umuibe

Umuibe What of if the ndigbo problems lie not with the yorubas but with ndigbo themselves. That the evils your fore fathers did are now living with their descendands. All the human sacrifies. Just like the killing of ikemefuna in “things fall apart” screwed umuofia. All the atrocities commited from time imo river are now coming to hunt you guys. For real, I mean since long before the chukwu of arochukwu through the executions of innocent people as SABO during the civil war to the abiriba/ohafia?. This just a question umuibe.
Some igbos even believed that mungo park and his crews were all eaten in igboland hence the saying in igboland that white people taste like pork

idowu ogbo, i see you inherited fully and preserved the yoruba genes for fiction. While others like addy on the same fantasy plane might be acussed of sophistry, your new low on Mungo Park seems to crown the idiocy you have displayed in your postings. Sure things fall apart is a great novel but what idiot cannot tell it is a work of fiction. Mixed blood or not, I advise you scroll back and delete your classical piece, take to your knees tonight and ask God to help even with a ray of knowledge or better still to grant you the gab of silience.

Nmadike, I have a copy of Chinua Achebe's "Things Fall Apart" right here. I will be obliged to mail you this copy for you to read, if you have not already done so. Chinua Achebe did not mince words in acknowledging that this classic of a book is a portrayal of life in the East prior to the arrival of Christianity. Please don' tell me you have not read this book. Okonkwo is real, Ikemefuna is also reeeal! Sure this Idiot cannot tell it is a work of fiction, because guess what...IT IS NOT.
quote: Okonkwo is real and Ikemefuna is reeal-----------> ADDY
What do we expect from a man with short circuit intelligence?
There is no way in the "BooK" that Achebe claimed that Okonkwo is a reflection of the Igbos. The Theme of the book, a story is about a clan not race which once thought like one, spoke like one, shared a common awareness and acted like one. Then here comes the white man who broke the unity. There is no correlation between Cultural killing among the Yorubas and the story of 'Things Fall Apart" The former is freakish and spooky while the later is merely a yesterday's story of a machoristic/male chauvenist whose idea of a weaker sex is having a daughter.
To this day, no village in Igbo land has laid claim of the Village of Umuofia or has anyone claimed ancestral or blood relation with Okonkwo........>FaCTS. No where in Igbo land is a human being sacrificed for Obi, Eze or Amadiora.------> FACTS. That is not to say that some lawless persons or person do not once or twice take the law into their hands. But this behavior or conduct is not prevelent in Igbo land. Or can you claim that Jeffrey Durmah, a gay man from Wisconsin who ate the flesh of Asians and black gay boys is a reflection of the white America?, probably not.
Addy, my boy we are talking about culture and norms that which is acceptable by the Yorubas. To kill a baby boy for wealth is a common trait among the Yorubas......facts. To sacrifice human beings for the Oba is an acceptable norm in Yoruba land------> facts. This conduct/behavior is prevelent and acceptable in Yoruba and that makes it a culture of the heart.
I suppose the Color Purple, actor Whoppi Goldburg and Director Stephen Speilburg was real or is it immitation of life?

You have really descended beyond belief, so I was not off mark when I commented on your detoriating English comprehension skills. Since when did portrayal become real life ? Fiction can be used to portray real life, but that does not make the fictional story real.

A point of correction here, Addy is nobody's boy, not the least WayPoint.. Kindly take that out of your diction in relating to me, aight? Believe all you want to believe, spin all you can, manipulate till you have no more room, there is no escaping this:
Historical Context
Things Fall Apart is Chinua Achebe’s first novel and was published in 1958, a time often called the Nigerian Renaissance because in that period a large number of very strong Nigerian writers began to create a powerful new literature that drew on the traditional oral literature, European literature, and the changing times in Nigeria and in Africa at large. Writers as varied as Ben Okri and Wole Soyinka developed in the context of the ideas and energy of the Nigerian Renaissance, but Achebe is considered one of the earliest and best novelists to have come out of modern Nigeria, in fact one of the top English-speaking novelists of his time anywhere.
In 1958 much of Africa was still under the colonialist yoke, although a few countries (most notably Ghana) had already achieved independence. Set in a time of great change for Africans, Achebe’s novels illuminate two painful features of modern African life: the humiliations visited on Africans by colonialism, and the corruption and inefficiency of what replaced colonial rule. Things Fall Apart in particular focuses on the early experience of colonialism as it occurred in Nigeria in the late 1800’s, from the first days of contact with the British to widespread British administration. Achebe is interested in showing Ibo society in the period of transition when rooted, traditional values are put in conflict with an alien and more powerful culture that will tear them apart. Achebe paints a vivid picture of Ibo society both before and after the arrival of white men, and avoids the temptation to idealize either culture . In this context, he believes that the novelist must have a social commitment: “The writer cannot be excused from the task of re-education and regeneration that must be done…I for one would not wish to be excused. I would be quite satisfied if my novels (especially the ones I set in the past) did no more than just teach my readers [Africans] that their past—with all its imperfections—was not one long night of savagery from which the Europeans acting on God’s behalf delivered them.”

A little education is indeed a dangerous thing!
Addy quoted the following statement,
quote:Achebe is interested in showing Ibo society in the period of transition when rooted, traditional values are put in conflict with an alien and more powerful culture that will tear them apart. Achebe paints a vivid picture of Ibo society both before and after the arrival of white men, and avoids the temptation to idealize either culture .
What informs addy's conclusions about the reality or fictitiousness of Things Fall Apart is a book summary laced with the value judgments of a white supremacist, a non-Igbo, in which the author claims that Achebe "avoids the temptation to idealize either culture."
Say addy, was it also Achebe's view that Igbo culture is less powerful than the whiteman's culture? Clearly your authority believes that and that was why he claims that Achebe was "showing Ibo society in the period of transition when rooted, traditional values are put in conflict with an alien and more powerful culture"
What will you do next? Let me guess. You will go and pull out your Michael West Dictionary to prove to this forum that an author said to have avoided "the temptation to idealize" either culture was therefore authoring a historical document, a non-fiction. Worse yet, you will fail to appreciate that one of the best known fictional constructs in literature is the so called "un-idealized historical setting" for a piece of literary work.

Inasmuch as it becomes at once clear upon reading that ‘Historical context’ that the novel Things Fall Apart’ was a portrait of Igboland before and during the advent of the Whiteman, what you have unfortunately failed to specify (in no uncertain terms) is whether you are equating ‘Things fall apart’ to non-fiction or not.
I am giving you the benefit of the doubt by not assuming that you furnished those statements to buttress (as it would appear), your previous claim that that highly celebrated work of Chinua Achebe was or could be regarded as non-fiction!
I think most people can make the distinction between a work of fiction and a documentary/non-fiction.
I also think that when “Things Fall Apart” is described as a portrayal of “the Ibo society in the period of transition when rooted, traditional values are put in conflict with an alien and more powerful culture that will tear them apart....”, a lot of people have the presence of mind to realize that just like George Orwell’s ‘Animal Farm’ was a fictional but fact-based satirical narrative of the English society at that time, the above ‘evidence’ that you gave underlines in painstaking detail, the very simple fact that “Things Fall Apart” and the myriad characters therein ought not be misconstrued as actual documented historical persons or events.
What you may have succeeded in enunciating is that the book was designed to paint a picture of that era.
I made the above comment because when I read your piece, I was in agreement with what you were saying about the intimate semblance of the practices in that book with what obtained thither aforetime, TILL you exclaimed thus: “Okonkwo is real, Ikemefuna is also reeeal!”
It does not become surprising then that most of the suspects apprehended by the British Police are people from this geographical zone. My stance would be to condemn the gruesome murder and wish for justice to be visited quickly upon the people that orchestrated this abominable act.
Nevertheless, we are not left in doubt as to which part of the south the criminals came from. Those little considerations really do not matter much to me, however, I will leave the reader to decide from the reports so far, if the heinous acts in question smack of well-known Yoruba voodoo ritual practices. At any rate, we shall hear more about this ‘torso’ case in the days ahead.
At this juncture, let me send my condolences to the family of ‘Boy Adam’, in the UNLIKELY event that any member of his family might be reading this thread. May the daily pursuit of justice by those British cops bring a measure of peace to Adam’s restless spirit so that his soul might in perfect peace eternally rest.
We are all too often distracted by non-essentials when we could have been focusing on the sorry PR nightmare this generates for Nigeria/ns. I suppose that some might wave this off as another patch in Nigeria’s wretched fabric. But who suffers from the stigma attached to carrying a Nigerian passport in foreign embassies and airports around the world?
Your guess is as good as mine.

Idowu: As an Aroman and someone who knows his history very well, you make me laugh when you say Aros executed "innocent people." May I bring it to your attention that punishing sabotuers (known and immaginary) when a nation/people are at war is not restricted to the Aros. Check your facts and you will see that even the Americans of old and of today does same. And for the records, your Nigeria has executed more "SABOS" (those involved in coups or other sabotage) than any nation in Africa!. Can you say for certain that ALL of those men and women were "innocent" or guilty of the offence/s?
Make no mistake about it, Nwa Aro dont hold brief for what the Aros or other Africans of old did to themselves. If you care you can review the threads on this board and you will confirm the impartiality of most members of this board (Nwa Aro included) in calling EVIL EVIL, irrespective of who the victim or culprit is/are. What is worring and somewhat unfortunate is when so-called educated people like yourself descend so low as indirectly justifying a crime commited by mostly Yorubas against a fellow Yoruba because according to you and your ilk, Igbos of old did same or worser things to themselves.
Does it occur to you guys that someone from somewhere who is not in anyway connnected to this crime will after reading how you guys re-directed this very shameful black-on-black crime that given the chance you will do same? It makes me wonder why your type waste yours and our time talking here.
Quote: --------------------------------------------------Every man and woman of conscience on this messageboard, please join me in decrying this animalistic tendency.---Addy --------------------------------------------------
Addy: If the above statement came from someone other than you, I wouldn't have hestitated to join other "men and women of conscience" to condemn this what is indeed animanistic. But coming from someone who agrres with those thinks Obasanjo is "smart," for rigging the last Nigerian elections, I withhold my comment.
When some of you join in praising or keeping silent when a wrong or EVIL (no matter how low or small), committed by those you admire, little do you know that you are nailing yourselves to the ground where every comment you make thereafter will be seen as BIASED. Without mincing word, I am sad to say that that is the abatross you Addy is wearing on this board since you started your SPINNING. To say that I am disappointed at the way you have come so low will be an understatement. So the earlier you retrace your track and start seeing things in its right colours, the better for you and for those things you claim to stand for.

I wonder where lies your manhood? why is it dificult for you to accept a simple fact, why are you confused about geograghical Benin-Ibadan axis, pretty soon, you will bring the idea of Igboman been the culprit.
Idowu,
Your retard brian has brought you to the level of lunacy, you're yoroba are faced with the crime illicit human sacrifice which you have no excuse and you have odocity to dance naked at the marketplace, if you're realy raised in Igboland as you cliamed, very sorry, you have not learned nothing, not the ways of the very Igbo of your claimed martenial, you have no portion in Igboland.

Okwyonwuka Since we are all product of our environment, then my bio- psycho- social person is a product of ndiigbo and igboland. Igboness is in my blood, I lived and I grew up there. My anscestors are igbos and yorubas. If you have a problem with it then I’m really reallllllly verrry sorry just find a way to cope with it. I learnt to dance naked in igboland (literally) remember I grew up there? In igboland, if you’re accused of sleeping with an *** , one of the ways of denying it used to be going to the market square naked and deny it. Some oath of membership of some cults can be done naked. Some swearings are done naked and putting juju in that disputed land can also be done naked . you see, I did learn something, atleast about nakedness in igboland.
Nwa aro I never meant that the aros executed any person because they are no worse than any other clan or community in Nigeria, period. Please read my posting again. My reference to aro is about the local deity that enabled and facilitated the disappearance of a lot of people, who were later used for sacrifice/sold into slavery or dedicated to other gods as *** .
Thanx exceedingly for your concern on Yoruba on Yoruba crime. To me the issue here is the yorubas killing their own for rituals as if to say all the igbos are saints. The fact still remains that the Yoruba ritual killings is no more than the igbo ritual killings. Accept the fact that igbos do kill their own for ritual reasons too. As the saying goes “ onye umu nna ya gburu awugi ochu” Crimes are commited because we are human. This is before the environmental factors come in.
Nna I do not and will not justify any crime by anybody against anybody. My point is before we go after any person we should look in the mirror first. We might have cemeteries in our closets and be going after someone with a few skeletons. Putting it another way, as long as we have skeleton we may have to think twice before going after someone with cemeteries.

Yoruba soccer player John Fashanu is in touble again.
John collected money from an undercover tabloid editor to "fix" a match for a gambling syndicate.
The man popularly known as Fash de Bash for his brawling type of play has admitted collecting the money although he said he handed it over to the police because he knew the game they were playing.
Fash's account doesn't agree with the police as the police has issued a statement thatfash turned in the money after the tabloid confronted him.
As at last night, omo Fashanu has resigned as chairman of the fooball club he'd acquired recently in Wales. It will be recalled that Fash and two others including a goalkeeper had been tried for a similar crime in the past. Although they were not sentenced then, they were made to pick up their huge legal bill as the trial judge said they opened themselves to strong suspicion.
Stay tuned........

Boy Adam: Suspect responsible for death of 11 kids, wife tells police
Monday, August 04, 2003
LONDON—A NIGERIAN man questioned in connection with the suspected ritual murder of a boy whose torso was found in the River Thames nearly two years ago is responsible for the deaths of 11 children, his wife told British police, The Sunday Times reported yesterday. Sam Onojhighovie, 37, was arrested July 2 in Dublin under a German extradition warrant for offences linked to human trafficking but has also been questioned in the Adam case, the nickname given to the boy found dead in September 2001. His wife Joyce Osagiede told British immigration in November 2001 that she was escaping from a religious cult that had been active in her home country of Sierra Leone and in Nigeria, The Sunday Times said. She was later found to be from Nigeria. Onojhighovie, who had been setting up branches of a new demonic cult in Germany and London, had killed 11 children, including the couple’s eldest daughter, she said according to the same source.
Police arrested 21 people Tuesday around London in connection with the Adam case. Those arrested were believed to be in their 20s and 30s and mostly Nigerians. They included 10 black men, nine black women and two white women, one of whom was nursing a baby. Police have requested DNA tests from those arrested, believing one of them could be related to Adam. Adam’s limbless, headless remains were discovered floating in the River Thames near London’s famous Tower Bridge, triggering one of the most gruesome murder cases in the British capital in recent years. Police suspect the boy was the victim of a ritual killing after he was brought to Britain from the vicinity of the Southern Nigerian city of Benin.
What are you talking about? A citizen of the Yoruba Benin Ibadan Axis is accused of crimes. All the findings so far situate the criminal within that same axis. Are you trying to ex-communicate those people from their Ngwati heritage?
