Chiboy Keep this up you are gonna be elected to gamblers hall of fame. How about that me at the Atlanta conference. Wouldn't that make some people at Egbeomooduduwa.com feel like Eke Idemilli is on the proul again?.

OU, What a great knock on that knuckle head sell-out peddling himself as Igbo leader for change. My multiple kudos to Saint and Wind, including Onabanjo for zooming in the cold hard bitter facts in the face of that stary-eyed blind Steve.
We shall all bear living witnesses to Steve's Nigerian leadership. Anyi alawakwanla? O lo! (we dey here for sure!)
Well you guys encouraged Onabanjo to take on Big Steve at egbeomo.com, look what happened to him now ? Big Steve went and reported to his master Chuck and now Onabanjo has gone the way of Ohafia Udumeze.

Tunde Onabanjo: Here is the list. Although I originally made this for Ohafia, you may find it quite useful. ___________________________________________
The Top 10 reasons why people are banned at EgbeOmoOduduwa.com.
1) You express highly pro-Biafra views
2) You express highly pro-Igbo views
3) You say you are a Biafran
4) You disagree with a friend of the owner
5) You accidentally disagree with the owner himself
6) You are also a member of BiafraNigeriaWorld
7) You state that you will not go to Atlanta
8) You think that BiafraNigeria should break up and you are discovered to hold that thought
9) You actually use the word "BiafraNigeria" or "BiafraNigeriaWorld"
10) You complain about censorship at EgbeOmoOduduwa.com ___________________________________________

Dr. B: I plead guilty to 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. Lock me up and throw away the key.
As per reason #3: I have called myself a BiafraNigerian. I no longer consider myself a Nigerian. Better a Citizen of Biafra than a citizen of the BiafraNigeria we know.
As per reason #5: I plead Nolo contendere (You never know who is out there in the dark of Cyberspace).

Chiboy: I laughed so hard when I found out about my ban. Biafra has promised to FEDEX me a bottle of my favorite Champaign. It's party time. Raise your cyber glass and share it with me. There are still people at that forum to carry on the campaign as necessary. That is the beauty of this technology.
"Bro Biafra, I actually think Nwa Aro has already been banned. I don't know why, but that's what I think."
~OU 05August,2001 01.58pm
It is now official. Nwa Aro has been banned from Egbeomo message board ! Who will be next????

Ohafia: Those guys over there take themselves too seriously. Banning some young Internet wizard from a UBB forum in 2001 is really silly - almost laughable. Heck, you are banning young people who know the code and have the means to force your forum to display any message or image they wish. Did you see how those Jewish boys turned the Palestinian website into one giant Star of David with messages of "Long Live Israel?"
If we now decide to raise the flag of Biafra at Nigeriaworld, my good friend, Big Steve, will call it "EVIL on the Prowl."
Anyway, it was fun while it lasted. I had a lot of fun debating members of that forum. For me, it was debate without bitterness, which is why I often wondered why some people took themselves so seriously.
But, you know, "soldier go, soldier come," as the saying goes. Who knows, one day, we shall all have a re-union? Too bad, Atlanta was botched.
I see that Prof. Ikpatt is active at BiafraNigeriaWorld. Between you and Amanda, I expect him to learn a few things about the need for principles and scruples in politics.
>>If we now decide to raise the flag of Biafra at Nigeriaworld, my good friend, Big Steve, will call it "EVIL on the Prowl."<<
You had me laughing for ages. The real EVIL on the prowl is Big steve who has succesfully exported the ugly BiafraNigerian despotism and dictatorship to the free cyber world. I found it very amusing that the guy used his Easter message to fire a cheap shot at his cyber-enemies and all in the name of his god. What a hero!
That feat by the jewish youngsters is only the beginning. The new Biafra will make BiafraNigeria weep if they do not accept peaceful separation. I shall be personally involved.
I have a "hunch"(hahaha!) that Ikpatt is a member of OOO(brotherhood of cross & star) as they are ALL deranged and confused people who worship an illiterate from Biakpan called Olumba, Olumba obu.

Fellows, I wish to congratulate all those who rightly predicted that my humble self will be 'banned' from that forum of fools. I have been expecting it anyway. If you want to follow the stupid idea of the Chuck Odili and wish to make his pro-Nigerian government board qoute "home from home" then you better dont mention 'Biafra' or be pro Igbo. Personally, I wisely chosed to be pro-Igbo and Biafran than to be a home-boy in the midst of those Area-boys (alayes) on Egbeomooduduwa, alias Nigeriaworld messageboard.
To me it was not how long rather it was how well I spent my time and hard-earned money on that board of efulefus and their collaberators that mattered from the day I joined it. I am happy I spent my time and money sending the message of the Igbo race which no banning can erase from that board. It was this satisfaction that made me not to make it public that I was banned, since I learnt of it about a week ago...To me it is not an issue which I will waste my time discussing on this woderful board.
All: Thanks for your solidarity. I am actually fortunate because I was banned at a time when BiafraNigeriaWorld, a direct competition to that forum, was available to me. Many of you here were not so fortunate. As a lawyer, I am honored to have been banned from that cyber-center for gagged speech (a.k.a. Nigeriaworld.com). I WILL NEVER ACCEPT A REINSTATEMENT OF MY POSTING PRIVILEGES AT THAT FORUM. So, let no one plead for reinstatement in my behalf. It is better to have expressed yourself and been banned than to have censored yourself and achieved the same result. Let the anti-free speech thugs do their own dirty work. I will have no part in the censorship of my own freedoms. That role is reserved for the anti-speech barons at that forum. I knew it was coming considering my views at that forum
But, I gave the thought-police at that forum a little more credit than it deserved, believing that the owners had enough decency or enough respect for established norms of civilized behavior to avoid implementing the ban in an anticipatory manner, i.e., in anticipation of my response. I was banned in anticipation of my speech, rather than as a consequence thereto. This ban happened in anticipation of my response to the lies and tall tales of Big Steve. Big Steve needed to be protected from the superior logic that his outburst was bound to elicit.
However, intentionally or otherwise, the owner of Nigeriaworld.com gives an impression of that board's membership as a quasi Chaplinsky hostile audience, in whose behalf a speaker could be restricted because of the potential reaction of the audience, except that in this case, there is significant basis to adduce that these restrictions exist purely to serve the interests of the owner and his cronies, and nobody else. Now, we will have to wait for another opportunity to correct the mis-education of Big Steve.
The causes for which we fight are just. My recent trip to BiafraNigeria has further convinced me that that country, exists to serve the interests of a criminal mob. There is a great deal of internal terror, and an eerie sense of grave physical danger to oneself and anyone who dares to propose an non-official solution to the problems of that failed State. This is why I have the greatest respect for Chief Uwazuruike and MASSOB. On the ground in BiafraNigeria, Uwazuruike and MASSOB have persevered in the face of these dangers. I am confident that we shall achieve the breakup of BiafraNigeria in my lifetime, or in the lifetime of my contemporaries. If I had to do it all again, I WOULDN'T CHANGE A THING. I am proud of everything I wrote at that forum, especially because I was faithful to myself and to my profession.
As an independently owned and operated entity, Nigeriaworld through its owner/operator may be within its rights to adopt irresponsible censorship policies. However, I am a product of a long established tradition of US common law and civil law systems as well as the jurisprudence and ethos that they have spawned, including the longstanding tradition that when a certain entity undertakes to regulate speech and assembly because of the content of what is being communicated, then, at the very minimum, that entity bears a heavy burden of justification. Nigeriaworld.com has been particularly guilty of failing to furnish such mandated justification, even though it has undertaken to regulate speech and assembly because of their content. In keeping with the worst of Abachaesque traditions, Nigeriaworld has in effect given a veto to hecklers such as Big Steve, permitting him and others like him to silence a speaker for speech not yet made, or in anticipation of 'evil' nowhere articulated.
People engaged in protected expression have been unilaterally removed from the forum, and their comments deleted. Important ideas are themselves suppressed, as speech carrying beneficial non-cognitive and emotive/objective values are routinely excised in an offensively discriminatory manner.
Even those who may continue to attempt to defend the obtuse policies at that forum must now face the reality that they themselves continue to participate there under rules that they do not understand and cannot scrutinize. This is an extremely awkward position for any educated person to find himself. That is why I shall not return to that forum to resume my participation.
Finally, I wish to use this opportunity to thank those of you, members of BiafraNigeriaWorld, who were involved in planning my recent trip to BiafraNigeria. Unfortunately, I am not free to share details of the great work that members of this forum have been doing in the background. I thank you for all the special support you rendered to me, both while I was in BiafraNigeria, and while I was in transit in Europe. In the course of this struggle, some of your friends have become my friends.
My promise to all of you who partake in this forum and its freedoms is that you will not be without my support as you exercise your freedoms at BiafraNigeriaWorld. Nor shall you be without counsel in fighting to vindicate the principles from which those freedoms stem. I have fully committed myself to the breakup of BiafraNigeria, and I shall spare no expense, nor shall I rest until that breakup is achieved. This is the only way to bring about the triumph of reason in that geographic space.
I will have more to say about these matters in the future.

Somehow, I think Ednut has a lasting relationship with the tyrant. I don't think he is going to be banned from the perspective of his one liner.

I guiltily accept links to #'s 3, 4, 5 and 6. I wonder what that guy will do with our personal informations that he has. As financially minded as that messageboard has retrogressed (you cannot open it without an add clip flipping on your face) I hope he doesn't start selling informations on members past and present.

Ednut: So you noticed those popping ads too eh! Na wah oh! I was at that forum when suddenly four adds popped up on my screen, blinking and flashing like crazy. Man! I felt like taking cover. Even after you close your browser and leave the forum, you still have so many advertisements on your screen. That looks like desperation to me, abeg.

Eureka? Ednut, tell me something! I have this very private (professional) e-mail address which I used while registering at that message board. Lately I have been wondering how some junk mailer have managed to lay hands on that address. What a coincidence !?! !?!
