Oya, I no wan park. Wetin u go do?

thegoodjoehunt:
It is an analogy showing a highly clean man and a man believed to be dirty. If the thief saves the Pastor, saying thank you doesn't make the Pastor dirty. Same in this case, people make the inference that the reason SA didn't give Nigeria a chance is because of corruption. Saying thank you won't make them dirty. When Nigeria was helping, it was okay.

Please the analogy has nothing to do with theocracy.

thegoodjoehunt:

You never new policies could have corrupt motives. Please give me a break.

ceo4eva: Despite leaving Nigeria early for the funeral of late South African leader, Nelson Mandela, President Goodluck Jonathan has been snubbed by the South African authorities at the State Memorial Service of the anti-apartheid leader.

An official release of programmes during the memorial service shows that the Nigerian president was missing on the list of world leaders billed to give tributes. The world leaders who will be giving tributes are, United State President, Barack Obama; President Dilma Rousseff of Brazil; Vice-President Li Yuanchao of China; President Hifikepunye Pohamba of Namibia; President Pranab Mukherjee of India; and President Raúl Castro Ruz of Cuba.

Other leaders billed to give tributes are the United Nations Secretary-General, Ban Ki-Moon; and the African Union Commission Chair, Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma.

Though Mr. Jonathan is not the only head of state that would not give tribute- there are about 90 heads of state attending the funeral, the apparent snub handed Mr. Jonathan also appears to rubbish the enormous effort played by Nigeria to bring an end to apartheid in South Africa at a time when Western governments were pussyfooting to pressure the apartheid government to renounce its policy of segregation and its brutal abuses against the black majority. Some Western governments including the U.S. had even designated the ruling Africa National Congress (ANC) as a terrorist organisation, and Mandela a terrorist.

This point was also highlighted by the Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Fashola, on Monday in a chat with journalists.
“There are more questions to answer. When you look at the part of the world where ovation is now the loudest, it was the part of the world the pain was the most vicious. In a very cruel irony, history is being revised.

“The people, who collaborated with the government that enthroned apartheid at that time, are the people that are paying the biggest tributes now. But I ask myself: is this not the time for deep reflection? I doubt if any African country expended as much time, as much money and as much commitment as the Nigerian Government.

“I was a teenager then in 1976 when anti-apartheid campaign really gained resurgence in every home in this country. Nigeria paid a huge price for what South Africa has become today. I remember the anti-apartheid campaign was at the core of Nigerian foreign policy.

“Apart from scholarship given to South Africans, I remember President Yar’Adua met Thabo Mbeki in South Africa and he was telling me about their relationship, which he said was dated to when Mbeki used to come to Zaria for student exchange programme. I remember we did not go for Commonwealth Games because of South Africa. I remember we took drastic measures against the foreign collaborators of apartheid regime and nationalised assets.”

However, Lagos-based lawyer, Jiti Ogunye, says Nigerian politicians are to be blame for the pedestrian level the country presently occupies in the international community. He says the complete atrophy of the respect the country was accorded in global affairs was as a result of years of misrule and corruption by the country’s politicians.

“Nigeria has lost its social, political and economic glory domestically and that glory that is lost cannot be recovered at Mandela’s funeral,” he said.

“While Nigeria officialdom maybe in a state of discomfiture by the non-recognition of Nigeria in the protocol of the funeral, the point is that it is not what Nigeria did for South Africa or for Angola or for any of the frontline states like Namibia that Nigeria will be remembered. It not the support Nigeria gave to the ANC… that Nigeria will be recognised by, it is what Nigeria has done for itself and what Nigeria has not done for itself. And we’ve done a lot against ourselves. Look at our country; our country is broken in many respects and no you’re talking about xenophobia, what led to it? Nigerian young people go overseas and become criminals the way we are criminals in our own country.

People leave the shore of Nigeria to be criminals outside our shores. Right from the time they leave Nigeria they’re going overseas to be criminals. We are exporting blue-collar crimes and Yahoo Yahoo to all sorts of countries, to Malaysia and are we blaming those countries for our own woes?
“How you will be regarded abroad is determined by how you’re regarded at home. Now how is the Nigeria state regarded by Nigerians? The Nigerian state is regarded by Nigerian as an uncaring state, as a heartless state, as a state that has no love for its people, as a state that has abandoned its people. So how has the Nigerian state treated its own people before we start taking offence at how the Nigerian state is treated by another country?

“Those who may be belly-aching about not being giving recognition by the organisers of the funeral of Mandela should know that while they may not be regarded, the South African people regard Nigeria. Go and read all the accounts, the role that is played by Nigerians is recognised in all those imperishable works and this cannot be obliterated by this treatment that is accorded to Nigerian officials that we at home have contempt for.

If we are disgraced outside, that disgrace didn’t come from outside that disgrace come from within because we have disgraced and debased ourselves. Do you expect anybody to take you seriously when what your rulers are known for is taking your money and cashing them away? In fact it s better they are humiliated outside so that they can come back home and be serious. If bad people are accorded all the respect and dignity that good people should be accorded how do you think they will change.”

taharqa: You reali are a DUNCE. Infact, worse than a Dunce; more like an Okpee. So cos Nigeria was not askd to give a Speech at Mandela's Birthday, it there4 means that GEJ Admin 'cultivates, breeds, grows, etc corruption'?? Lawd have Mercy!! If I said everytin I felt cos of this unbelievably stu.pid logic in my mind right now , Seun himself wud ban me for 55years....#KIDS

me1234: I still don't understand why people try to compare Jonathan with Fashola. Forgetting lagos is the smallest state in nigeria where everybody embrace progress and productivity with enlightened minds in unity for the common interest of lagos. On the other hand nigeria is a big country that is so divided along ethnic and tribal sentiments with individual and ethnic interest set above national interest. It is very difficult to govern nigeria.

Biggyd2:

Haba, you for tell me tey tey say na dat one fit rock ya boat. Ok, your sins are forgiven. I release you nau! You can jump from one post to the other and continue vibrating there over wetin no concern you. You can see you have a lot do, so you better hurry.

Hope you are breathing well now.

Happy workings o! .

Done with you.

Sagamite:

Really?

Please explain to me how SA is a highly clean nation, hence why you chose a highly clean man for your analogy.



Oh, really?

So policies could be corrupt?

But not all policies are corrupt?

And yet, you referred to Okonjo's policies in relation to corruption?

Please explain to me in clear terms how Okonjo has been corrupt through her policies, hence why you think I should have a problem with her the way I have a problem with Retardeen.

ocelot2006:


hehe
. Biko carry go. e don do.

thegoodjoehunt:

What good has the Subsidy deduction brought if not create more loots for corrupt individuals. The government claimed that money was lost due to the Subsidy but couldn't bring even one company to book.

Otedola showed it was just a stunt to extort money and madam Okonjo championed it.

Don't paint her as a clean person to steer Nigeria to greatness because she isn't. Taken money from the ECA was illegal in the name of subsidy.

BluIvy:

Why should I tell you anything when google is free. Our inflation is lower than yours, our debt is lower than yours, we have an A+ international rating while your is BB-.

Sagamite:

You are a person!

I thought I told you to explain in clear terms?

So, in your moronic mind, you are saying Okonjo set up the policy to enrich herself or support corruption?

In your moronic mind, it is Okonjo that is responsible for charging people to court or is it Retardeen and his criminal Justice Minister that took part in the Etete loot?

Have you explained to me how South Africa is a highly clean nation?

thegoodjoehunt: As for Madam Okonjo, she stands for corrupt policies. The removal of subsidies in both AGO and PMS were not t lead t development but create room for more money to be looted.

She said the money would be used for infrastructural development and it wasn't used for it.

No mattr how much you abuse, any one upholding corrupt policies is corrupt.

kwame tut: people tend to ignore this one. MEASURING HEAD BY HEAD.

rigormortis:


you are a mow-rawn, a daughterfvcking mow-rawn

that is measurement per capita.....it doesn't mean shiiiit, its not worth the paper its written on.


china with its huge population will have a relatively low per capita income,.....

but most countries can mess with china.....what does that show you?

your post is worth approximately a warm bucket of spit

thegoodjoehunt: Wonders shall never end. It is an analogy. People are saying Jonathan was not allowed to speak because Nigeria is corrrupt. I gave an analogy that a highly clean man can thank a criminal and the clean man won't be seen as dirty.

The analogy means that South Africa is not free of corruption and thanking Nigeria won't stain their image.

If I say, " Leave that man, even Pope will not be praised like that". I'm I equating the person in question as a pope?

If you spend more time reading than abusing, maybe you would understand the points.

I have always said fucktards struggle with analogies:

https://www.nairaland.com/1094114/what-occupies-minds-atheists-24/4#12884413

Cretin, pious people (which you termed as "clean" are suppose to be forgiven, whether it stains them or not. That does not mean all men should and it does not make sense to make an analogy between pious and ordinary.

Secondly, the point was not about staining SA, it was about a cretinous crook not commanding enough respect to be given such a privilege.



You are a pure person!

Did you pull this daft conjectures from your arsse?

You are so steewpid, I don't even know where to start with this moronic junk you spewed!

You are too moronic to even start! I can't be bothered with the Alaba analytics a person like you will pull from your arsse!

You are a definition of cretin!

rigormortis:

fuel subsidy was actually removed to discourage the rot and scam involved in the fuel to end user distribution chain

just as it was with nitel, then with the introduction of mtn, glo and co, that I how it would have been with fuel too.

for want of a better definition, iweala is more of a technocrat, albeit not in the technology or engineering sense, she advocates solutions to problems, she is neither a core Politician or a law enforcer, it is left to these people mentioned to discourage, prosecute and punish anybody taking advantage of the system, especially a new policy, otherwise any policy will fail even if advanced by adam smith himself
