We were all inspired by Obama. There would have been no Obama today if Rev. King just kept praying or if Rev. King and co had not said enough is enough, enough complaining on the internet, If we are going to move forward we have to act. The leaders will not change, they like things just the way there are
Posakosa, this is not about Ribadau, its about us and our nation. Yes Dele Giwa , Fel and Gani are gone, but they gave a good account of themselves so much that a little girl like me from Jos can hear of dele Giwa, Gani and the rest. We owe it to ourselves to give a good account of our selves too. If they were quiet and just complained without acting, They may have lived longer lives but you would ot have known their names today

Aisha God bless you and yours.

I agree, we must start peacefully and for those who are saying peaceful marches won't work in Nigeria, I tire for una. How can you condemn a thing before even doing it? Is this the way we face challenges in our personal lives?

For your information, I read that a church organised a peaceful march some days back to Alausa protesting against the power issue. It can be done!

Rosabelle:

Aisha. In this life, you will hear of me. And when you do, you will remember you read me on NL. And I hope you will come join in. May the Lord bless you.
There has to be a fire behind us that doesnt go out after the first attempt.
Because like Mr Posakosa said, people wont sit down and watch. They however will not shoot either, cos those days are gone and the Lord has given us victory.
When I have pulled people and resources and the time is right, we will march!
I will live in that Nigeria where people are praised for their honesty and not their crookery. That Nigeria is my own too. Not only my children will experience it.
Amen!

Our anthem says 'the labour of our heroes past shall never be in vain'

and I say a big Amen to that. The millions that died to keep us together during the civil war, those that fought and died to chase the military juntas away, those who have in one way or the other, fought against injustice and are no more, by the Grace of God, your labours shall not be in vain.

POSAKOSA1:

You are all young and naive.


Bless your hearts.

POSAKOSA1:

and after the protest there was light ?

Rosabelle:

The black man in america didnt get his rights handed down to him after the first march. They march unceasingly. And things are not expected to be better in Nigeria after the first year of protest marches.
But a people would have risen up to say : ENOUGH! And that is what counts. That our voices be heard.

Voices like yours have long since drowned  out the voices of people who decide to move. With your negativity, you try to hinder a moving forward of any kind. At least be quiet for those who have courage and are ready to stop complaining. Dont block their paths with your fear and cowardice!

aisha2:

We are not young and we are not naive, you are jus a coward, Anyway, sit and watch, we need people like you to document for histroy while peole like us make history

POSAKOSA1:

You are all young and naive.  


Bless your hearts.

Utaroz:

The era of nationalist fervor and patriotism has gone, maybe for good. Most youth of today are disillisioned, others disinterested. History has also imposed a Who wan Die mentality in our psyche.  

Achebe of all people should know that They Have Put a Knife in The Thing that held Us Together & We have Fallen Apart!
Even the ethnic & religious squabbles here on NL is self evident of the lack of cohesion amongst the youths.

kosovo:

@SapeleGuy Honestly, you talk too much,
I do not care if it's south-south, east-west , west south, north-north or wat eva
that's our major problem, Tribalism,
let anyone who is capable of resurrecting the dreams of our founding fathers hold the position, or Nigeria will remain doomed!

POSAKOSA1:

To aish and co: In which areas do you expect to change Nigeria.

I

aisha2:

To answer you.
1. By standing up and saying No to bad Governance
2. Education: By getting as many kids as i can educated. We currntly have 420 children on schoolarship in differen levels of education
3. Fighting Poverty: Empowering widows and single mother in small scale enterprises.
We have left you far behind if you think we are just young and naive think again, we are in serious business of making his country work. Laugh all you want, it wont stop us. Even if we fail, we know we have done our very best, but you, unfortunatley will go down as someone never to be remembered. Stop calling Gani, he will be so ashamed of you. Gani said hs worse disappointment were people like you who kept quiet in the face of injustice and justifid your fear

POSAKOSA1:

How have you stood up to Bad Governance ?
and after these kids are educated ? WHERE WILL THEY FIND JOBS?
Poverty: small scale enterprises ? <hahahahah> how do these small scale enterprises deal with the rising costs of goods ? giving women loans does NOT make their enterprises sustainable ?
<People like me who kept quiet in the face of injustice> the notion of justice is absolutely relative, YOU ARE NAIVE. It is CLEAR.
and YOUR ANGRY VOICE WILL NEVER BE OF PURPOSE to anyone. KEEP ON DECEIVING YOURSELF.

Rosabelle:

I smile at the fear I hear in your voice, for, you are a man obviously branded by shortsightedness.
So those children . . .because YOU think they wont get jobs in the future (25yrs from now), you think TODAY, we should not educate them?
And those rising costs you spoke of . , .does it mean to fold our arms and tell those market women theres no point giving them loans as they wouldnt beable to cope with the costs anyhow?
Is that your solution? To fold our arms and rant?  
I feel for you. I feel for you because you are a man with eyes who is REFUSING to use them. Your choice.

@Aisha . . . .stop. Dont talk again. You dont have to answer. You either know it, or you dont. So shun the scoffers my dear!

aisha2:

I should not even glorify your saddism with a esponse but i have to burst your delusional bubble. I gave an example of one of the girls we put through school who visited me yesterday and wrote a cheque for two kids to go to school, its called pass it on. Without education she might not have had a fighting chance but now she emloys people. Secondly, we have had huge success rates in small scale businesses, 90% success, most of the women know they have to succed because the life of thier kids depends on their success, so we have high rates of success and these women who take loans are required to fund the businesses of other women much late and they do, 85% of the time, its called pay it forward.mr. man, we have gone beyond your small time thinking. Dont bother to reply because we are obviously at different intellectual wave lenghts. If doing what i do means am young and naive then i love being young and naive pays better than being old and cowardly

@ POSAKOSA1

With all due respect, if you do not want to identify with the ideals of these guys, I suggest you
stay aside and watch. It serves no purpose staying outside the main arena in the comfort of what
others have created and asking them not to fight for a better society. It is more honourable, I tell you.
