Nairaland Forum

This is happening to Nigerians in Nigeria,just because the north did not have its way. We have Lebanese, Indians, Pakistanis, other Arabs and Europeans who are Naturalized Nigerians by virtue of the fact that they have been here for long, and their life and properties are well secured by the security agents. meanwhile the so called Nigerians are being killed,brutalized and being denied of all they have worked for all their life, then by 2015, the so called Northern leaders who did not see anything bad in killing of youth corpers, killing of southerners, burning of churches,properties and mass exodus of people will tell us it is their turn to rule, we shall see. Thank God 2015 is very near

PointB:

Non-existent officially. But in secret.

My take based on all the information supplied so far is that.

1. Wole Soyinka founded or was a founding member of National Association of Seadogs (NAS) aka Pyrates
2. Pyrate confraternity was created to fight social malaise in injustice using non 'conventional' means
3. Along the line, the confraternity  meta-morphed into a dangerous cult
4. Ever since them, the Nobel Laurette has been trying to dissociate himself from (t)his monster

One other thing is clear, we cannot dissociate Wole Soyinka from Pyrate Confraternity which now operates as a secret cult.
Some of the worst human affiliations are rooted in the basis of best intention. Wole Soyinka should admit his mistake and move on. He is human.

1stCitizen:

MC Hammer had a dream and pursued it, while those who will never be bold enough to pursue or achieve theirs sneer at him.

If it meets my expectations, I am surely going to be a user. I wish him all the best.

texazzpete:

Well, Pentecostal Pastors are also a huge factor in our nations Underdevelopment. Strange he didn't mention that.

Gbawe:

Thoroughly disappointing . Are you not the chap who wants to go to the house of Reps? No disrespect, but is this how you will reason if you ever get there ? I.e without recourse to fact yet eager to pander to herd mentality via giving in to the crudest of brainwashing?

You want to represent Nigeria so take me on, or anybody else for that matter, and show everyone the quality of your logical thinking, political knowledge and reasoning. Tell us precisely , and with facts and statistics, why Aregbesola , only 11 months in office, should be in your list of one of the worst Governors of all times. I throw this challenge to the entire forum and those who have mentioned Aregbesola . If you guys are not stone-cold bigots and herd mentality followers who have swallowed Beaf's lies , please show very valid reasons why Aregbesola makes your list yet there is no place for Oyinlola who has destroyed Osun totally over more than 7 years !!!

Show me and everyone else you have not just being brainwashed by Beaf's messages of outright lies. It is disheartening to see the standard of intelligence on this forum these day that will lead some to claim , for whatever motivation (bigotry mainly IMO), that a candidates who should be hailed as one of the best Governors in Nigeria is mentioned as one of the worst on conjectures alone.

I have pasted the article below several times yet folks will fail to read it , include a man who wants to be a Rep, only to be saying things that totally defy logic about a Governor who has been in office for 11 months yet has done far more than his PDP predeccesor did in 7 plus years. Where Oyinola plundered Osun, Aregbesola has now managed to save over 20 billion Naira to be used for infrastructural development. How many Governors think of saving money let alone announce that they have done so? Through proactive dredging work, Aregbesola prevented the flooding seen in many Nigerian State !!

This same man proactively bought Several APC's (armoured personnel carrier) and vans to combat crime when it should be the job of the FG!!!! Aregbesola has approved contracts to improve water provision appreciably from what Oyinlola was happy to persevere with !!! How about his much lauded OYES employment initiative and others now starting to gather steam and show real results? Aregbesola , in real terms and to real folks, has performed well to the extent that the World bank is now supporting the OYES scheme and Netherlands is partnering Osun over its Agricultural initiatives after they noted the seriousness of Aregbesola and the success of his well-thought out schemes. I could on !!!! Really tragic how Nigerians now prefer second hand opinions , even when it could be terribly misleading , than do their own homework. I guess this is why some lead , and are successful, while others follow blindly.

kabukabu50:

People like you,who are caught up in political correctness who refuse to stand up for womens rights everywhere are letting all women down.

Seriously, the video tape clearly incriniates these perpetrators in this crime??

What else is there to determine??Why all of a sudden, nigerian men have once again shown themselves to be hesitant to allow females justice??

Once again it is clearly seen that is the case in nigeria,that crimes against women play second fiddle The men will say two things

1)She was flirting around with the guys
or
2)She was dressed promiscously.

Im dead sick of this hypocrisy that has taken hold in nigerian culture, we are better than this by far, this is not Afghanistan or Pakistan.

If you men won't stand up for your mothers,wives and daughters, who will???

Kobojunkie:

@Moderator, I think a second eye needs to be focused on many of those on here who believe this is consensual, even with what the video shows. Is it possible to at least get these people, well maybe their records forwarded to the authorities so if they have ever been involved in such acts, they be investigated in some way, and at least face the music, if guilty. I do not see how anyone with a soul could excuse such degrading treatment of another human being.   

I usually do not point at persons, but I suspect some of these young men were raised to believe that violation is OK, and ensuring all those around us who are in anyway involved in the perpetration of these crimes against humanity, are punished or made to face the music is a good way to start in eradicating this scourge.

Now I see it clearly,

Nigeria has no hope, Nigeria is doomed.

If the "great' minds of Nairaland cannot read a simple post and discuss the content under the context and not the letter, then I am afraid that Nigeria is surely doomed.

Please, I want to plead with you all to go back to my original post.

This post has nothing to do with Buhari or Jonathan, they are only mentioned becuase they are symbols in this situation.

Ok. Let me try to make it in black and white what I meant in the post.

I am simply saying that Nigeria as a Nation has a problem of ethnic/reglious sentiments that beclouds senses of reasoning.

Eg: Soludo was anti North because he is South and Sanusi is anti South because he is North.
To the North, MEND are terrorists but to the ND, MEND has a course. Now its Boko Haram, while the South is shouting "death" to all terrorists, the North is rather apologising to Boko Haram. The Igbo elders are swearing to "fight" if Massobians are harrassed without course, but to the North, Massobians should be fried.

What I mean is that the bombs will still go off irrespective of who is in charge: the only difference is the location where it will be going off. For those, talking about how Buhari will "wipe" out MEND or Boko Haram, you can only kill a man but not an idea. Boko Haram, Massob, MEND, etc are all ideas.

For example, I am Igbo and since I have been a child until now, I am still wishing to have Biafra. I never joined Massob, not intending to, but each new day, I see reasons why I should not belong to same country with somebody who will not have a second thought in killing me in the Name of God.

It does not matter who is in charge and what his intensions are. It must be interpreted with this ethnic/religiuos bias.

I don't know if this will help our discussion, but so far, I am ashamed at most of the posts becuase they are completely OP.

“That will kick-start moves to disintegrate the country. I can see four countries coming out of the present Nigeria. Long ago I predicted that Sudan will break up if the country’s President failed to address the political crisis then. It has come to pass.

Abagworo:

I will score Amaechi 80% because he has done well.If not for the rural roads he constructed in the Elele,Ozuoha,Ubima,Omerelu axis the poor State of the Owerri-PH road would have been a nightmare by now.Every road being mentioned here by his haters are under construction.The Omagwa-Ozuoba,Nta-Choba,Ada George,Okporo Road(About to start),G.U. Ake(Sadium-Rukpokwu via Eliozu),Creek Road(Borokiri and most Town Roads).

While he has his flaws as human,his achievements far outweighs them.

ChinenyeN:

People overdo this 'tribalist' issue.

Aro_007:

I don't know why you guys are excited, fast pretenders, as for me this is a very terrible news, God knows I really need this 3 days badly. Am still all wrapped up in wrapper, hoping that the 3 days warning strike would be elongated beyond the 3days earlier announced. You guys are here telling me jagons as if in deed we all don't need the strike. Very well, I guess I hv no choice than to go and take my bath and head for work now. Thanks to you hypocrites. Even the weather does not support going to work this morning !

We're in a gullible country, where everybody that speaks against the government of pdp, is a revered saint. Even to the extent of some unscrupulous i.di.ots that saw their interests being eroded in the pdp, has come out as activists.

macjive01:

@tpia, are u married? if not

are u searching? if yes

Are u ready to settle down in the next 12 months- including dating, courting, and marriage rite, then start having children ? if yes

i have a man for u.

He is Igbo anyway, i know u re from the north, he is a gentleman, a fine one at that.

u wud definitely like him. He is handsome and having.  good, tight job and his own apartment.

He wants a girl with a broad sense and mindset, someone who is modern and yet courteous.

He wants a girl who is intelligent and can engage him in intellectual and constructive argument and discussion.

a girl who is not boring. someone who is versatile. someone who luvs to travel.

a girl who wudnt full her face with food and transform into a bag of cassava over night.

He wants a christian, but im sure a casual laid- back Muslim won't kill him (after all, he hasn't been to church in 4and half years).

i strongly believe u fit that description, if only u re single. or whatever, but still available.


please, regard this with most attention and genuineness ooh.

Nigerians, Will you marry someone outside your tribe or ethnic group. If not, why?
