I hope this doesn't become another Igbo-Yoruba feud. Let honor be given to whom it's due.

Damian, Congratulations! Your words of brevity display great depth, your consistently well thought out actions mark you a leader.
Ednut, though this thread is for Damian, permit me to congratulate your profound achievements on this board too till your own thread is opened.
Babz, It sure must be nice to mooch off of the same hands that feed you which you seek to destroy with fervent malice, congratulations too on your own subtle but backward progress.

For instructing on, explaining, exposing, narrating and debating/discussing matters of import, you have carefully carved out for yourself an enviable record of scholastic diligence. We are truly grateful for your well-researched and properly presented points of view.
For the perspicacity you bring to discussions coupled with your consummate fidelity to shared, guiding principles, please accept my genial congratulations for a THOUSAND laudable posts.
Yours are a thousand posts of notable intellectual profundity festooned with an unmistakable steadfastness to the “Reality That Will Not Die”—which essentially unites us all.
This place would not have been complete without your insights and we are definitely listening to every word of your treatise. You are a scholar. In my native Urhobo we would say agbaramaga.
Congrats, bro!

LOL. I don't think so. Please accept it as a misspoke by the responsible party.

If you know of somebody else who has challenged and beaten Ebe, Danladi, Kunle, Risi Nantroof, Clement Ikpatt and Odili to their game intellectually and otherwise, bring them all up, but chances are the only person holding all those cards is the one and only Damian Njoku.
Damian, I salute you and a big CONGRATULATIONS!Posts: 47 | Registered: Jan 2003

Thanks for your kind words. It has been my pleasure to rub minds with the giants of this board, especially those with whom I disagree a great deal. There is something about this place that makes me feel like an eager student when I read your writing. But, I have to say that my heart skipped a beat the first time I saw the title of this thread and noticed my name in it. There had already been one response to the thread. Thus, the topic originator’s name was not displayed in the “Last Post” column of the forum homepage. So, you could understand how, for one moment, I thought I had been nabbed for one of those excruciating TB “interviews,” notwithstanding the precautions I took during my last visit to Vegas.
Nchamere Nd'Igbo:
Thanks for opening the thread. I had no idea you were keeping score. As Ednut pointed out, he, others, and some of the respondents in this thread long ago reached the 1000-post mark, doing so under greater pressure, and doing it much faster than I did. It has taken almost 3.5 years for me to get there. Ednut and the other members of the 1000 Club deserve more of the praises. The same goes for those, you know yourselves, with less than 1000 posts but whose first 100 posts were far more enlightening than my 1000.
All:
My brother Ukaobasi has correctly noted that my posts here are usually brief. What may not be known to some BNW members is that at another time and place, it was quite different. Back then, another contributor for whom I have a lot of respect accused me of making “long posts filled with mind-bending logic.” It was a time, more than three years ago, when the cyber pool of rapacious one-Nigeria Jesuits made it challenging for anyone to get a word in if the views expressed deviated from the Abuja script.
It was under those circumstances that I decided to optimize my posts. For, as Ajasco alluded, there were simply too many of the one-Nigerianists, and I needed to respond to as many of them as possible as quickly as possible, until the Jesuits prevailed upon the powers-that-be to axe everyone with views tending away from the Abuja script, no matter how nuanced the views were.
At BNW, there is an abundance of opposing views, and there are many gifted writers whose posts render resort to lengthy prolixity unnecessary. The good thing is that, in one form or another, the Jesuits followed us here where they continue their one-Nigeria ranz-des-vaches, refusing to contemplate the breakup of the dysfunctional entity, the very thing that will give harmony to their singsong.
Thanks guys! I look forward to another 3.5 years of active participation in debates on this board.
