gotta sign out. will respond later.

peace

Odeku, your choice of language is horrible!!!. Come, how old you be?

Here we go again, another typical person that can not read. why don't you just leave and let the people that can read contribute. DAMN people just see one thing and start talking

PLEASE DO NOT CONTRIBUTE UNTIL YOU HAVE HAD A CHANCE TO READ THE ARTICLE.

O-B-J:

it's people like you who are idiots.
a nation with people like soyinka, achebe, okonji-iweala, rotimi williams, etc, a nation of ekwuemes, and of course my humble self, O-B-J, U think we are idiots?

the problem is the system. the system has been corrupted for decades. but my administration is doing my best.
period.

pls TOLD him

Before you can generalise, you have to at leats have greater than 50% of the people of that community exhibiting that character. I mean b4 you can say Nigeria is a country of idiots, at least 60 million of the 120 million people have to be idiots or else if you cannot satisfy that condition, then the leaders of the country or the most visible and heard amongst them must be idiots.
In Nigeria's case both criteria are fulfilled so I strongly agree that Nigeria is a Nation of Idiots or how else can you summarize this country?
I just left the burial service for Dr Ogunleye, MBBS, FWACS a Consultant ENT surgeon in UCH Ibadan, he died in Sunday's plane crash. I am pained that air travel which is considered to be the safest means of transportation all over the world is the most dangerous here. I knew at least 4 people in that crash. promising young minds. Doctors.
Yet rather than tackle the issues what are we doing in my country? We are playing hamlet series in our State House of Asseblies, Impeaching A and reinstating B.
How else can we exhibit our idiocy?
Please tell me?

Interesting perception, please I hope that Monkey sister O-B-J read what you just stated, instead of reading between the line like a monkey brain. people are presenting logics and strategy all she can come up with are celebrities, some people need to go back to NURSERY SCHOOL

if i may contribute to this heated issue, i heard the pilot was asked by the airport officials n0ot to take off so soon yet he refused to listen. if this were to be true, is it not then the issue of followership that some contributors have made mention of?

obviously it is a shame that we've had air disasters in recent times to the point of national disgrace. and it is the responsibility of both the leadership and to an extent the followership. one thing I know is that the government is to an extent a reflection of the populace.

and please can we be more civilised on nairaland?

please

I think you mis the road, wrong topic

You guys are misunderstanding this guy here he only asked a question and i think it is up to who ever want to to simply say yes or no it is not for you guys to start coming after him as if he wrote the article in the link he posted abbah make una free this guy jo.

@ thread starter - whats the point of this thread? to prove that you (a nigerian) are foolish?

@ article writer - whatever sense he was trying to make was lost in the jungle of ambigous vocabulary.

Yes.

Hell to the NOOOOOOOOOO

stranger12 if you cant read a simple ABC and comprehend DE? then na your own fault be that, maybe you should go back a nd read the article again, digest it, and make sense out of the content. no lost love

I really would not have said anything about this topic again cos there's a lot of mud going around. But I want to reply someone who said that he/she (not sure) heard that the pilot was told to stay on ground and not fly. Well that story has been proved to be false. It was just some officials trying to look for an excuse. According to one of the survivors in the crash, the pilot asked for and received permission to fly three times before taking off. And come to think of it, the plane crashed only about 5 minutes after taking off. That means that the plane hadn't probably achieved fulll altitude. How the heck would wether affect it at that altitude? I dont know much about aviation but I think its not plausible.
People are even suspecting foul play but thats that for that.
Now should I reply some very nauseating comments I have read on this post? No I'll leave that for now.

Odeku I like your reasoning.

Odeku,

I have read it since last week.

Nigerians may be very gullible and ignorant.
But they are not idiots.

The EFCC should investigate the regime of IBB instead of waiting for whistle blowers to give them clues.

Even a mad man on the street in Nigeria knows that IBB stole billions of our dollars and I have the proof. And I have sent it to the EFCC.
You can read it all on http://www.blogwonga.com/blogwonga/read_article_preview/42

NADA< DO you understand the power of voting? if you've never voted then this article I guess does not apply to you, the caption and the 1st sentence in the article state WHY DO WE KEEP VOTING FOR BAD LEADERS

That is the point I am trying to make, so slow down abeg no one is calling anyone IDIOT the jurnalist was only trying to make a point

like voting makes a difference. Your now saying we have fair elections. Hmm why do i find that so hard to believe .

Abeg voting does make a different in some way.  your vote is your power.  It might not be apparent in Nigeria cause of manipulation, but we still have to go and vote every time we get.  ABEG not discourage my people from voting oh, small time them go say nilla say voting no count

so did you vote for any of the people that has been in power
