bawomolo:

I guess Bernie madoff had no fault also, God created him that way right. I agree the dead shouldn't be disrespect but it's no surprise people have mixed feelings about this. She ended up dying at the mercy of an health care system her husband failed to provide during his tenure. Who knows if she could have had an earlier diagnosis if Nigeria had a solid heath care system?

bawomolo:

poor analogy considering America has tried to fix his flaws (civil rights bill, affirmative action), Nigeria still feels the wounds of Babanginda regime till this day, Maryam Babangida was also alleged to have embezzled money through her charity program.

nuzo:

By the way, whats it with all these fanatics here. Na by force to be religious?

Busta:

Whose fault was or is that?
and I tell you this . . .no one on this forum is in any better position than she was. It is easy for everyone to cast the first stone but search yourself first pple. We are all guilty!!
How have u tried to improve the situation in nigeria? how many homesless people have you helped or donated money to? how many orphaned kids out there do you really pay attention to? Maryam died, so did 2000 more people in the world.

jay bee:

How is it the masses fault? some that live in Nigeria gladly pay their taxes, live within the law but 'em thieving politicians or ex-military rulers still proceeded to loot the treasury.
How can nigeria be improved when the thieving politicians don't set enablers in-place for well meaning nigerians?
They don't bloody empower us by the constant lootings that go on.

jay bee:

What you are failing to realise is countries like UK/US have brilliant healthcare industry because the taxes being paid her channelled through the right avenue. Plus the bloody love their citizens.

jay bee:

You also mentioned in one of your earlier post that "If that was the case, or if that is what you are basing this on, then every Nigerian living abroad will be guilt of looting" i hope you know that not everyone living abroad is a product of treasury looters.

It's one thing to sympathise to a fellow human dying but you trying to justify what she represents makes me wonder

nuzo:

She would have been hanged in a sane society long before she developed cancer.
I will personally question "god" if one of the fake Nigerian pastors does not confirm that Mariam have safely arrived HELL with her entourage.

By the way, whats it with all these fanatics here. Na by force to be religious?

May her crazy soul rest in tatters!!!! those crazy people wreck this great nation. before i forget when is maradona going to die, i cant wait  , infact her death is making me Hot

naijaking1:

De fly wey no wan let the corpse rest is usually buried with it.

nuzo:

Come to think of it. . . Mariam was actually better than most Nigerian cowards like you. At least she was bold enough to defend both her gross atrocity and that of her husband's till death.
Grow some balls and talk straight instead of all these parable bullshi.t.

naijaking1:

Sorry for the parable. I forgot it takes some maturity and a little bit of formal education to understand parables

Buster, for your information, its a free world ok, get that phrase in your monkey skull. You are right, we have dickk, tom and harry here, i bet your dad is tom, your mum is dickk, and u are harry, useless goat. and never in your life reply to my lyrics again even though its a free world

the 2 words i have been looking for are: HOPELESS COWARDS.
so, the only way we can fight back in nigeria is to wait for the wives of our bad leaders to die?
it's completely absurd and a clear indication why this country remains on the floor. if this is our plans to fight bad or corrupt leaders in nigeria, i'm afraid and very sorry to let you people know that we have a very long way to go.
babangida's wife is dying, but sanni abacha's son is about to become the next governor of kano, another saraki is about to claim another top position in kwara, furthermore, one of babangida's children is also looking to claim another top position in abuja; so what difference does it make that maryam is dying? why are we here celebrating? and what exactly are we celebrating?
we need to stop thinking backwards, roll up our sleeves and find a better method to move forward. rejoicing that another human beings (good or bad) is fighting for her life is definitely not the way.
but one thing is certain: God is great, he knows today and tomorrow, and he isn't a nigerian. therefore, there is a light at the end of the tunnel for maryam babangida.
i pray for maryam's speedy recovery

@ Busta, easy oh! You wan fight?

nuzo:

And your maturity and piles of degrees didnt teach you how to translate parables to normal English?. . . . Abegi.

naijaking1:

With what language do you want me to bring the parable down to your level?

idiopathic:

It is unfortunate that the black man seem to have very short memory and that is why we don't learn from history. We keep repeating same mistakes. Both Maryam and her husbands policies have resulted in the death of millions of nigerians from:
a) malnutrition
b) accidents from bad roads
c) assaults and deaths from armed robbers
d) untimely deaths from treatable diseases in our poorly equipped hospitals.

Poor Busta, I should have warned you!
Old model honda car to dramatize attitudes towards the dead
You could have been better off arguing with a 5-year old in your own family.

tkb417:

Naijaking, did you type this?

hmm, you're a proper ignoramus and i wouldnt wanna show you how dumb u sounded with that post

All you had to do was ask Sagamite about his classic use of a car in "ending the discussing". Since you had no clue, i'll appeal to Saga to come back just once to pep u up.

Busta:

poor or not poor, they are still in a better place than Nigeria. . . we can still learn a thing or 2 from them.
That was ma point.

And the ever dumb Naijaking referred to me as immature and uneducated for asking him to explain an irrelevant parable he was using to cover his cowardice and sycophancy.

True word. Her legacy will not stand any historical scrutiny no matter how white it will be washed in the coming days. I think the mystique of our ancient taboos related to death and fear of karma is what motivates most of the omashes here even though they know the truth as well.

I will rather reserve my sympathy for the downtrodden.
