Should I apply the same standard I’m perennially judged by you to say that you’re pandering to ibi duad and his fellow jihadists to gain their favor? The answer is simply no because you wrote based on your personal conviction just as I did the other day and always.
MeB, it is on record or should I say archived that you have been kissing up to addy for several months. You know it and so do all. Sometime last week, you elevated the kissing to annoying level and I just could hold the BS no more and had to throwup on you. Nothing personal. On this Daud guy, I cannot even recall ever responding to anything that he ever wrote here mostly because he is Karl Zaryol and is not bold enough to use that handle here.

On the current issue here, it is wrong to kill or advocate the killing of God’s children simple because they are of the Northern Nigerian Muslim sect even in revenge.

First off, don't give me that "Nothing personal" bunkum, what you wrote about me was very personal as you should know. Your attempt to unfairly tarnish my hard earned image was a super doper direct hit and I’ve decided to go all out for you, son. Your investigative journalism quackery failed to show that the scholar, addy whom your jealousy won’t let see beyond your nose and I do sometimes disagree without insulting each other as you certainly would love to see. Take for instance, addy is of the opinion that good things do happen in nigeria that should also be acknowledged and I take the opposing view without having to disrespect him as you certainly would like. On few (twice) occasions that I insulted bababoyz's father, I went home feeling bad about it with a vow never to repeat it again and if this is what your "kiss up" amounts to, let it be, junior. It is no secret that finally, more than a year ago I came to have the ULTIMATE respect for addy and his mature opinions thank God. This outlook prompted me to open a thread in his name ADDY, a good man must stay! - December 13, 2004., so when you accuse someone like me of dancing to gain favor make sure there are no previous views that stand to indict your crazy reasoning. Does the “several months” that I’ve been “kissing” up include early December 13, 2004 and prior, a period of more than one year? And after that I never disagreed with addy ever again? Sorry pal, your thought process is way below what I normally associate with. If what was written by me the other day brought the primitive side of you out, is what you wrote today for not wanting a reprisal attacks on the islamic north your way of KISSING up to them? You can’t have double way of measuring these things, guy, people who benefited from the four walls of a college call it HYPOCRISY! Guess what, I’m also proud to say that among the many folks who influenced my writing for the better are Honorable Anaedo, Ukaobasi, and yes addy too. No bones was made when I finally shared my respect for the latter whom you had wished continued to be insulted by every poster, Ednut, try as you may, I’ve been consistent. What I know is that I call the shots the way I see it then move on and if you’re anything close to being honest, this you would readily admit, but no your bias teleguides the way you see people. Is your disappointment that the unnecessary insults you enjoyed are no longer in vogue? Then deal with it, aiight? Check you out; what role did you play while I was on the receiving end of the constant unnecessary insults from your islamic friends? Zip, Zero, Nil, Nada!

Trouble in the North! Troube down South!

Whose fault? The failure of current administration to restructure Nigeria as demanded by the people.

Obasanjo is sending soldiers to the North and South to find peace. Peace is not what the people want. It is equal rights, equity and fairness. And we can achieve this through resource control and proper restructuring.

Finally, the destruction of mosques at Onitsha is not enough. More should be uprooted in other cities without human casualities. Do not kill them but destroy that mosque in your villages.
If you can fly airplane to hit the ones in Kano, Sokoto, Kaduna, Katsina, Maiduguri, Yola and Abuja, that sounds good to me. Probably, these retaliatory actions will bring Nigeria on its knees to the negotiating table to renogotiate the way forward or the way to split peacefully.

All I can say is that if any Igbo man was killed, retaliatory acts is justified period. Ka ogu afu daba.

Meanwhile, it may after all be my people that got it again and I hope Aba will retaliate.


Ednut,

I guess Tunde is speaking from one mouth and Ednut is speaking through the other mouth.

Dan Abu Bakr ibn Al-Dauda (listless drudge of the Muslim North):

Look Mallam Christian Caliph, there is no need beating around the bush here. The question still stands:

What was the justification for the rampage in the North?

This claptrap:

quote:
Acts of barbarism should never be justified, provided that the "barbarism" nomenclature is correctly applied. I don't have complete information about the events in question. Rick failed to link to any reliable information on these events.

My concern for now is that CSE fails to appreciate the hospitality of non-Christian communities in Nigeria who allow Churches to sprout and flourish in their locale. Blame for these ugly events must ultimately be laid at the feet of the irresponsible media actors who set them in motion by resorting to blasphemy against the religion of their opponents.

Or this red herring:

quote:
Perhaps, Hojatolislam Ibn Al-haji Anaedo could explain to us why there are so many Christian Churches in the Muslim communities to begin with. Were those Churches located there to provoke the events that we are now witnessing?
In case you have not yet understood my point, THE GARBAGE ABOVE DOES NOT PASS MUSTER!! If I was Tiv or a Middle Belt Christian, I’ll be terribly ashamed for you, Mister. What a way for a descendant of the “almighty Tiv warriors” to kowtow to the same forces that wasted his ancestors!

SHAME, SHAME, SHAME!

Look boy, your Ibo ancestors have never crossed the Benue River from the South in a military formation. All this childish rant of yours about Middle Belt this and Middle Belt that come into perspective in the picture of the leaders of your Bantustan Biafra disrobed of their rebel uniforms as they surrendered to a Middle-Belt man in Lagos.

Daud the Ostrich preffers to hide his head in the sands of his dreamed up and contorted history while steadfastly ignoring the fact that history is being made and changed as we write.
With present developments in the Delta and current Islamic terror developments, the awusa oligarchy and hegemony is unraveling at the seams.
Anyway Daud, as an ostrich, anu-ohia ka gi bu so oburo your fault.

Ed,

Remember these? They’re words of common sense not wisdom from me.

  • “You can’t have double way of measuring these things, guy, people who benefited from the four walls of a college call it HYPOCRISY!”
  • “Ednut, try as you may, I’ve been consistent.”
  • “What I know is that I call the shots the way I see it then move on and if you’re anything close to being honest, this you would readily admit, but no your bias teleguides the way you see people.”
  • ”…so when you accuse someone like me of dancing to gain favor make sure there are no previous views that stand to indict your crazy reasoning.”


Lo and behold you got busted so fast, what a tragedy. Now that you’re finally cornered with your pasts down I wonder how you plan to patch your damaged reputation? I knew you were picking on the wrong fella when you came at me firing your BB gun with my reminder about my consistency guiding me to this point not heeded by you. Did I not caution that you should try it (to be constant) sometimes so as to be better for it yet you won’t hear any of that? When you were reminded about your hypocritical doublespeak I knew I wasn’t the only one with knowledge of this. Now look at what you did to your good self, on another website you wanted the Igbo to go all out to carry revenge attacks on the mallams whose culture is to kill those who don’t give a rat ass damn about their terrorizing idol. Then snuck back on BNW to massage idi bin daud, the master terrorist’s weakened ego by questioning why the Igbo and southern Christians should pay back the mallams with the same coin just to be accepted by the mallams. Before you again misunderstand me, no hard/hurt feelings as I write and please don’t for one second take my words just read the quote to see your follies:

Then he scurried to one of those puny sites to say the opposite of what he canvassed here. Now look ashamed brother.

Justified “ is the keyword my good friend MeB. The two ideologies remain the same and of course bababoyz could quite digest that I was saying the same thing, but you too MeB? Re-read them and you will be apologizing for suggesting that my views changed or that I called for “revenge attacks” on fellow Nigerians.

Justify = To act justly; To declare free of blame; To free from the penalty attached to grievous sin; To show good reason for an action etc. My question is "Justified" to do what, by whom and on whom? What you were referring to was your islamic friends' act of killing and your use of "justified" was a direct support for whatever was done back on them which happens to be the same violent death suffered by innocent citizens on their hands. Now what my brother?

Further, you said "it may after all be my people that got it again and I hope Aba will retaliate".

When you use retaliate, you mean pray for the people that killed non-northerners? C'mon Ed, you know better! Not gonna spin your way outta this one and you know it. I'll be right on your ass, lol.

Saying that one is justified if they did something is not the same as encouraging “

quote:

MeB, you will be amazed at what a little prayer can do. Try it. Anyway my two posts are there for discerning minds to evaluate on their intrinsic worth. Bababoyz’s simple minds didn’t allow him to encapsulate fully that both sentences are indeed very similar but expressed in different ways.

I’ll say this then move on having over made my point. According to you, one encouraged it while the other excused/justified it.

It = killing, so I ask you my good pal what the final analysis will be since at the end someone would lie dead?

With the mountain of churches and many prayer nights in nigeria why all the catastrophic happenings? Obviously “prayer” alone is not enough. Corruption is the monster, nothing else.

What CSE would like us to believe is that the way forward lies in more murder and the nihilistic calls made on this board for vengeful attacks on fellow citizens and their property. And, after CSE's calls to murder are received and carried out, the world would have been shown how much more civilized the Christians are to the "barbaric northerners," and CSE would have extracted the gratitude of those damned "ungrateful economic dependent northern moslems?"

Daud,
You quite clearly chose not to respond to a simple question why your lot enjoy starting trouble. Your deliberate attempt to misrepresent my position is childish and shows how far you will go to avoid the reality of northern moslems' huge appetite for needless violence.

Onitsha riots: Death toll hits 100• Mob frees 585 prison inmates

John Ameh,Segun Olatunji and Fidelis Soriwei

Rioters on Wednesday freed 585 inmates from the Onitsha Prison.

It was the second day of civil unrest triggered in that city by violent protests over the controversial Prophet Mohammed cartoons.

The death toll by Wednesday climbed to about 100.

Our correspondents gathered that armed youths, numbering about 3,000, invaded the prison at about 1pm and freed all the inmates.

They also looted prison property including cash, 200 mattresses, computers, generator sets and food items.

Sources said the youths, who arrived the prison located on the bank of the River Niger in lorries and buses, accused the staff of harbouring persons “who have been killing our brothers and sisters.”

The Deputy-Comptroller, Onitsha Prison, Mr. Columbus Omeneko, confirmed the incident.

He said, “All the youths were armed. They jumped onto the roof of the prison, and it caved in under their weight.

“They accused us of harbouring Hausa-Muslims, but we told them that all the inmates were from the South-East.

“They refused to listen to us. So, they went to all the cells, broke them open and freed all the inmates. They later set our offices ablaze.

“Out of the number (585) that they freed, only nine have returned on their own. We have sent out search parties to look for the escapees, while we hope that some will return by themselves.”

The Anambra State Police Command declined to confirm the casualty figure.

Unconfirmed sources, however, said 34 bodies were picked from between the Coca-Cola plant and the foot of the Niger Bridge along the Onitsha-Asaba Expressway.

Six bodies littered the popular Port Harcourt Road, while 15 bodies were reportedly recovered from Kala Road.

At Upper Atani road, near Upper Iweka, more than 20 persons were allegedly killed; besides five bodies removed from Sokoto Road.

Onitsha, a bustling commercial city, was a ghost town on Wednesday as residents kept indoors. Nearly all business premises, including banks, were shut.

Unease heightened among the city residents following rumours that members of the Hausa-Muslim community, who fled to the Onitsha army barracks for safety on Tuesday, had rallied for a counter-attack.

Unconfirmed reports said the group, alleged to be backed by security men in mufti from the barracks, had attacked a primary school at Awada, a suburb of Onitsha, killing an unspecified number of children.

Following the reports, parents swooped on schools in the city to withdraw their children.

Truckloads of youths armed with cutlasses, machetes, rods, and other dangerous weapons, reacted to the rumour by heading for Awada, apparently to confirm the claim.

The Commissioner of Police, Anambra State Command, Mr. Moses Anegbode, however, denied the report.

Speaking on telephone with our correspondent, he said, “I have spoken with all those concerned – the Army Commander, the Onitsha Area Commander and the Divisional Police Officer at Awada – they all said it was a mere rumour.

“Policemen are in all the locations where there is problem in Onitsha and from the report we are receiving, we are taking charge of the situation.”

The Anambra State Government extended the curfew it had on Tuesday imposed on Onitsha to Awka, the state capital; and Nnewi, the second largest commercial town.

The government said in a statement that the extension of the curfew followed “another spate of violence in Onitsha by mid-day” on Wednesday.

The statement signed by Governor Chris Ngige’s Senior Special Assistant, Media and Publicity, Mr. Fred Chukwuelobe, said in part, “The curfew starts from 7pm to 7am until further notice. The governor wishes to warn members of the public to desist from rumour mongering, as that is capable of escalating the violence and could lead to loss of more lives.

“The governor also wishes to warn all those who were involved in the jailbreak at the Onitsha Prison today following the crisis in Onitsha that they will be doing themselves a lot of good if they report to the nearest police station or to the comptroller of prisons.”

The statement appealed to the people of the state to assist the riot victims.

Our correspondents found that besides the Niger Bridge and Upper Iweka where a team of policemen and soldiers took position, police presence was light in other major areas like the Old Market Road, the Onitsha Main Market, the Zik Roundabout and Awka Road.

Ngige had, on Tuesday, said 2,000 additional riot policemen had been sent to Onitsha to contain the situation.

To check the spread of the riots to its domain, the Kaduna State Government deployed heavily armed men of the state Strike Force in potential flashpoints.

The troops were deployed amidst growing tension in the polity.

Our correspondents noticed military personnel and riot policemen attached to the Strike Force in strategic areas like Malali and Badarawa. Armoured Personnel Carriers were also strategically positioned.

It was also learnt that men of the Kaduna State Fire Services had been placed on alert.

However, business activities continued uninterrupted in the Kaduna metropolis and its environs.

In a statewide broadcast on Tuesday night, Governor Ahmed Makarfi warned that the state government would not condone any threat to peace or acts of lawlessness.

He said he had ordered the Strike Force to respond promptly and deal decisively with any group or persons attempting to foment trouble in any part of the state.

Although there was calm in cities like Aba, Owerri and Umuahia, residents of northern extraction were reportedly fleeing to police and army barracks as a safety precaution.

In Imo State, our correspondents learnt that hundreds of apprehensive northerners had taken refuge in major police barracks and the nearby 34 Artillery Brigade, Obinze, on the outskirts of Owerri.

The spokesman of the state Police Command, Mr. Bala Mohammed, a deputy superintendent of police, confirmed the situation in a telephone interview with our correspondent.

Mohammed said the command had made elaborate security arrangements to forestall any crisis.

Police authorities in Lagos said they had put security arrangements in place to forestall a spillover of the anti-cartoon riots.

The Assistant Inspector-General of Police in charge of Zone II comprising Lagos and Ogun states, Mr. Adedayo Adeoye, told the News Agency of Nigeria that the police would not fold their arms and wait until the sectarian violence spread to the zone.

He said he had directed commissioners of police in the states to beef up security and ensure that lives and property were protected in all the Hausa – dominated areas that could be prone to attack.

The 19 northern states chapters of the Christian Association of Nigeria on Wednesday, in Kaduna, called for the imposition of a state of emergency on all the states where riots had broken out.

The group also urged the Federal Government to compel the governments of the affected states to rebuild all the churches burnt.

They also asked for compensation for all the property looted.

Addressing newsmen in Kaduna, the Chairman of Northern CAN, Archbishop Peter Jatau; and the Secretary, Elder Saidu Dogo, flanked by the association’s chairmen in all the states of the North, called on the Federal Government to put in place concrete security measures to protect all Christians in the North.

The group said, “CAN in the North is surprised that this evil should befall its members while it is on record that it is the first body in Nigeria to publicly condemn the cartoon said to have been published by a newspaper in Denmark.”

Also the Anambra State chapter of the Nigerian Supreme Council of Islamic Affairs condemned the anti-cartoon riots.

In a statement, the Vice-President of the chapter, Alhaji Dauda Ajagu, called on religious leaders to caution their followers and make them realise that Muslims and Christians are brothers and sisters.

Using your own reasoning, one should now be able to say about the carnage now going on in Onitsha:

I expect you to interject that the Onistsha masacres are mere retaliations having nothing to do with Christ. Perhaps, you should then be able to explain why the non-Christians in other parts of the country have not joined in the blood orgy.
