Biafra:

Ihe mu na agwa gi na ndi ozu bu eziokwu. Nwatakiri aa ana akpo alchemist ejigi anya ahu umu Igbo So, don't be deceived all he knows is hate due to his poor upbringing. No strong moral fatherly figure as a German mulato he is.

quote:
Reading through just the last postings of nigerians such as mebiafran and others, surely you cannot deny the fact that he insulted the entire religion of Islam, the entire Yoruba tribe, the entire Hausa tribe, the entire Benin tribe, and every other thing which is not ibo. How come you didn't rebuke him for that? How come you tolerate someone who insults the islamic prophet Mohammed as a pedophile? – the efulefu, alchemist
Starting with your mohammed, when a 54 year old man have a forced sexual relationship with a 9 year old little girl what do you call the individual that indulged in that blatant act? But before you answer, let me remind your HYPOCRITICAL empty brains what you said about the islamists too, posted May 05, 2005 12:07 AM, on Topic: Is the Koran a holy book? “ Well, is the Koran a holy book? IMO, the Koran is NOT a holy book. In the biblical context holy means "separated unto God". If there's any truth in the story, then the angel which appeared unto Mohammed in the desert dictating the words of the koran to him was truly an angel - a fallen angel. Islam is the religion of the anti-christ, and therefore Islam and the koran are directly inspired by the satanic anti-christ spirit. Check your new testament for more information. ” – by the hypocritical efulefu, alchemist.

So how does the boy reconcile that with his new pandering? Why didn’t the islamists in your midst defend their mohammed if they think what I stated was in error? I’ll tell you why, it was factual as contained in their quran. Regarding your reference on “entire” yoruba and awusa groups, there’s no denying harsh words were exchanged earlier in our debates by BOTH yoruba fellas and myself but this dumb liar would want people to think otherwise. I still cherish the exchanges I had with Addy and Olusolaa, through their combined wisdom I learned much so there’s no way I could be seen as “hating entire” yoruba so the monkey’s argument is thrown out the window yet again. Could the house-monkey share with us any Igbo he has admiration for here? From what I’ve seen, none so far. The last time I checked also, Tijani is a yoruba name and I don’t see us fighting although on few times he has in fact thrown insults at me but I received them as humorous instead. The proof is there for all who cares.

quote:
…because in your home-country Nigeria I am neutral and do not take any side in your Nigerian tribalism matter. – the same efulefu
Biafra and others, it might well be worth it to ignore the lying bitch henceforward. Just for starters, didn’t our ‘neutral’ observer accuse the Igbo of being solely responsible for the Jan 1966 disturbance? Where is the fairness in that stupid accusatory statement? Did he also answer the questions Ochiwar and my humble self posed at him when he made such a crassy statement? Not a chance. Guys, the pattern is there, it follows him with every new handle he came up with. A snake does not shade its skin and this potent SNAKE must be destroyed for the sake of Ndigbo. Also, a visit to the primitive banal web site he started that failed before it could garner strength would convince anyone who is still doubtful about the fool’s hate for the entire Igbo nation. Something only a sick and wicked mind would conceive. Brothers, I know the temptation to visit that un-educative site and pour your hearts out exist but please don’t make any contribution there. No need. The place is as dead as a cheap local graveyard. His Yoruba supporters that attempted to participate even found it boring without the educational substance serious sites such as BNW command and they vamoosed as fast as they came. Didn’t these same group of idlers claim without them BNW will fold and we wonder why they still sneak in here every second to whine and twitch about how much they love their hopeless nigeria.

It has been the modus oparandi of this house monkey, alchemist to throw punches even when one is not called for. Example, when the roach crept back in with his latest bogus handle which he would soon abandon after he’s embarrassed enough, he wrote and I replied to his in support without any fuss but that did not satisfy this fool who went on other threads to pour his usual venomous vomit upon all.

quote:
Topic: Bianu; what is going on?

There is nothing like "hostile take over" of Domain names. If your Domain registration period has expired, and you, as the Domain name owner, do not renew your registration contract, then your Domain name will be publicly declared as "available", and the one who registers that Domain name first gets it.

First come - first serve!

No hostility there! Just business as usual! posted May 02, 2005 06:06 PM by alchemist.

Guys, Alchemist is one thousand percent right. What he stated is how it goes so my advice to anyone reading after mine is to not make any further contribution to avoid the topic being degenerated into something else. But that’s your choice to make I only suggested. - Mebiafran

This attitude is evident in almost all my posts that I do not particularly go out of my way to dish disparaging remarks on people I do however, return in kind all entreaties directed at me as such and for all I care, this guy could simply hang himself no one will miss him. I won't!

Biafra:
  • In all advanced societies just like in any well-functioning relationship COMMUNICATION is the alpha and omega. When people have a misunderstanding or a crisis, then well-meaning people come together and talk about it, in order to sort things out. They don't talk others down, they don't point self-righteous fingers at others without accepting their share of guilt. Therefore, it does not help matters when you now shove the main issues aside, which have led to the little crisis between myself and others in this forum. Take for instance yourself: your first post after coming back from your africa visit, was directed at me, in defiance of me. You defamed me, equating me with some handle that used to write in this forum. In this your first post you went ahead and used the word "outcast" in reference to me. And now here you are, complaining about my reaction to your unprovoked abuse and defamation. How unfair is that? When you misbehave in such a way, then you have no right to determine the reaction of the one you have unjustifiably attacked. I accept my share of guilt in this misunderstanding, yet you've got to jump over your own shadow and accept your share of guilt.
  • Next, you falsely accuse me of insulting "the whole igbo nation" and "the memory of Igbo and Biafra soldiers". You have failed to substantiate your claim. Either you substantiate your accusation or you drop the charge. I have written it already, and will repeat it again: I stand for open rebuke! Where exactly, in which of my postings did I fulfill your false accusation of insulting "the whole igbo nation" and "the memory of Igbo and Biafra soldiers"? Find it, will you, so that I will be quick to publicly apologize, because in your home-country Nigeria I am neutral and do not take any side in your Nigerian tribalism matter.
  • Furthermore, you have completely ignored the fact that nigerian handles such as Mebiafran, have insulted the entire religion of Islam, the entire Yoruba tribe, the entire Hausa tribe, the entire Benin tribe, and every other thing which is not ibo. Strangely we read of no righteous outburst from you against such tribalistic intolerance.
Until you properly address these three issues, so that we can move on to more serious discussion, count me out from taking you as a serious discussion partner. Let's talk about this, get it out of the world, and all is well.

Mebiafran, I think I had strongly advised you to continue to ignore me and my postings? How come you're not able to do that? Is your "ignore-button" still jammed and not functioning?

Must I repeat my admonition to you again, that from henceforth you should not react to any of my postings? What's so difficult in that?

Oh, I forget, you dropped out of elementary school to work as a spare-parts trader, and thus you have difficulties concentrating on things. Damn lack of proper education, ain't that right, dude?

Reply to the futile effort to sow the seed of discord between the Yoruba and Igbo by alchemist:

So how does the boy reconcile that with his new pandering? Why didn’t the islamists in your midst defend their mohammed if they think what I stated was in error? I’ll tell you why, it was factual as contained in their quran.

Reminder.

Biafra does not have to answer to something that has already been addressed first by Ochiwar and then myself. As far as I know our interactive session was beginning to take a more civil route until the emergence of alchemist abridged the tranquil ambience of the room. It depresses me that this chap never takes responsibility for his actions. A “neutral” participant would in my considered opinion be more intoned to admonish both offending sides and not constantly make a case for nigeria, yoruba, awusa at the detriment of the other, Biafra/Igbo. That’s how unbiased observer does things and not the mumbo jumbo that oozes out of this guy’s mouth. After accusing the Igbo of single handedly exterminating a group of Yoruba officers and their leaders a question was directed at this guy who chose to continue to lunch his unwarranted attacks on the Igbo and Biafra. So, before the handle Biafra answers any puny questions of this efulefu, let’s revisit this first.

quote:
Mebiafran,
you were the one who talked about omoigui.com, right? I checked the net and found out about Mr Nowa Omoigui, who wrote here that the leading nigerian ibo officers of the January 15th murders massacred not only nigerian hausa leaders, but also nigerian yoruba leaders. Now, what exactly are you trying to do here? Could it be that you refuse to accept that which is obvious? Say it like it is: according to the link which YOU, Mebiafran, provided, nigerian ibo officers murdered nigerian yoruba leaders on January 15th 1966. – alchemist.

I'm laughing my butt off on this one. It is easy to read and make sense of something written by an educator than the scribble of a little hungry and abandoned boy.

Please include this in your next question to the dummy;

"...but what the Igbo don’t seem to understand maybe you could explain the discrepancy to us is when it suits you guys, Niger Delta becomes the word other times Igbo is transposed. How come? If you guys naively claim that the Igbo do not have claim to Asaba and its environs, is it not reasonable and in fact correct to say the Jan 1966 incident was not Igbo engineered?" - MeBiafran

This lazy intolerant biased nigerian tribalist keeps reacting to my posts, even though he himself has repeatedly affirmed to ignore me. That's inconsistency in action.
Inconsistency is a very evil and dangerous vice. It seems like the nigerian mebiafran is heavily infected with it.

Dude, what's the meaning of "Aturu"?

Here is a misplaced priority and a conflict of interest-----> Nigerian President, Obasanjo applied for a private university; Obasanjo raised money for his farm and Obasanjo raised money for his Presidential Library while a sitting President.

Yesterday,Obasanjo's government approves Obasanjo's Bells University, a private university while a sitting President. Now, isn't this a conflict of interest.

Folks,
Is this the same Obasanjo who is pretending to be fighting corruption in nigeria? The guy is nothing but a trickster. To be honest Nigeria is inhabited by most foolish people on earth. How can everyone remain in stupor, while this guy continue to reap off the country without any one challenging him. "God bless you Gani Fawehimi" Certainly, majority of Nigerian men with balls are all dead.

The duty of any responsible govt. is to provide the citizens with services that help keep the society safe and orderly, provide good public health, transportation, ,establish and fund education, supporting research. Promoting cetain standard of behavoir and basic need of life.

In nigeria none of these are in place, yet this clueless president is establishing personal enterprize right ,left and center and we are all watching him helplessly. TUFIAKWA.

I would rather we had a President who builds a University to educate Nigerians as opposed to one who stash billions of dollars in offshore accounts to the benefit of non-Nigerians; I would applaud a President who institutes a poultry project in which thousands of locals are employed as opposed to one who builds numerous useless mansions and furnish them with mind-boggling exotic cars. We must always put things in perspective in order for our criticisms to be taken seriously..

Is your Governor making movies or pitching commercials for AB machine while running the government of california? Picture Anold spending less time running the people's business to raising money for his movie company, Hell will break loose.

The fact is not what you rather have but what is public accountability. You have a country of 120 million people and a President who spends less time running their business. I ask you where is the public interest? And what is his first affirmed priority..the Public or his private interest? Now, tell me what will happen if Obasanjo ask for one hour on PrimeTime television to raise money for education or the hungry? I betcha billions will be raised for public interest. We must always put the public in perspective in order to avoid serious criticism. How about that?

WP1, a little reality check will be in order here. It costs you nothing to continue to juxtapose emotion for reality where just a dose of earthliness will help, but comparing America to Nigeria is just an overkill. America is well over 200 years old while Nigeria is a little above 40. The real problem with our country is our inability to be sometimes flexible. An example will suffice here. Countless number of Nigerians each year receive admission to Universities to study such course subjects as Oceanography, Geography, and European History; Prithee, where on Earth will these guys ply their trade at the completion of their studies?. There is nothing wrong in copying ideas from successful nations but it is assumed, under normal circumstances, that with the passage of time, such copycats will blend those ideas to suit their millieu; in Nigeria, such is not the case. In the USA, if a man commits a crime, and nothwithstanding its gravity, if the law books are silent on the repercussions of such a crime, (maybe because it is a first), Americans are not ashamed to let this offender loose free, what will then happen is that this event will be utilized to update the necesary laws to take effect from the next offender. I guess what i am driving at is this; Nigeria is a country which corruption has eaten deeply into its fabric,we have witnessed a sitting minister hide behind the weight of government machinery to perpetrate horrible crimes against humanity, State Government houses have been turned into personal bank vaults, governors are known to own private airlines while in Government, in short, in Nigeria, we have seen it all.It therefore behoves of a realist to compare and contrast and come to the realization that all things combined, Obasanjo is a saint among devils. With time, we shall overcome.

I do not think that Nigerias problem right now is lack of university. As far as I know each state in nigeria has at least one university with some states having as many as 4 or 5 higher institutions. why not put that into perspective? These univesities are all empty of amenities, under staffed, under funded, in short they are all grossly mismanaged. Obasanjo should have made sure to put these citadels of education in the right shape for nigerians before deciding to build his own (private) university, which I dare say he did not build for nigerians but for himself, because education has never been free (or affordable for the masses) in a private university.
Every year our existing universities churn out millions of graduates, who come out to find no job opportunities. What has Obasanjo done about that, appart from building a private univesity for the children of parents who have become rich by looting Nigeria.
and wait first... you have not heard the last of offshore account from the animal in human skin, obasanjo.

I'AVENEMENT,
Your defence of Obasanjo does not holdwater.
This president does not have the interest of the citizens. Nothing has changed for the average nigerian since he became president. For you to say Obasanjo is a saint goes to show how deeply confused and dazed, nigerians have become by years of misrule.

Where in the world have you seen a sitting president engage in this type of reckless behavoir
Building private empire for himself. Have nigerians thrown their conscience over board?

Building private empire for himself... C. Njoku

Zaire under Mobutu Sese Seko,
Nigeria under Ibrahim Babangida and Sanni Abacha,
Chile under Pinochet,etc etc.

What sets Obasanjo apart from those despots is the fact that he still has the common sense to invest in things beneficial to his countrymen; this i believe is a giant leap from the trenches of waste and avarice that characterize the modus-operandi of the above-listed examples. Whether this is morally right is another question, what should not be in dispute is the fact that he will be providing social services under the garb of capitalism to millions of Nigerians, thereby enhacing free market and infrastructural development, in his own little personal way, aside and away from the prying eyes and ignoble highhanded demands of members of the Senate. At least, he will not need to bribe Senators and Reps in order to get his University and College going. I hope i am making some sense?

Or have you forgotten that we are Africans? (No pun intended).
