Darn !!! This guy just summarized what Soyinka is trying to communicate in a much clearer terms. No insult given or taken. Dame really need to take a chill pill however Soyinka should learn not insult other people's wives.

Lion indeed not even a tiger.

Akpomeme: take a chill pill because sometimes your passion betrays your opinion. Cultism has been given a new face in Nigeria but I find it educating that prof.started it all. The videos online highlights your point that the law makers derive their egos from fraternity and association which of course you associated to Wole Soyinka. Respect the man bro. He is not your mate. He is a leader and inspiration to many. However, it is disappointing that he made those utterances.

eddiebruk: My friend go sleep Joor...he has the right to say whatever he wants just as you are here busy opening your V-boot mouth saying nonsense

Guys hi points are clear enough. I have read through all your posts and his defense, the nigga has a good point. Yes patients appears stupid, but umbolela won Jonah first term. I don't personally think prof. Should have brought himself into this.

Chidi only retaliated...

Thid is pathetic. The poster acknowledges that the strenght of yoruba culture lies with the long history of respect for ones elder, but he berates youths for charting a new path. It is sad that some of us here found any sense in defending what is wrong. Take correction and move on. Th poster's observations are accurate.

Wow.. haven read this write up and the one promoted by nairaland, it would have been fair to make this a front page article. Thenation paper lied and this is a rebuttal correcting the impression that President's dinner was informed by Ameachi's NGF call for a meeting on same day.

These things should be balanced so Nigerians can make an informed judgment on sensitive issues like this that promotes insubordination and unnecessary distraction by politicians.

Indeed PDP is boko haram.. OK why are they bothered now...lol Buhari want to be anything at anytime when it suits him

God bless moderators of Niaraland for having listening ears... You have shown graciousness when we talked you down. However, remember that this piece of invention of yours has great potentials just like Nigeria. You don't want to be written off as a serious source of information because your front page has recently been crowded with pictures of wannabe stars who wore what outfit better or pictures of immoral people who took in for another while married to one. etc...

lakside s: With all this, yet nigerians are still suffering

We are 160 million and counting.. we need to kick start the economy first of all before we feel the impact.

onye guy: Okay we don hear Joor

Onye Guy you happen to be a moderator or another brainless none entity. The potentials that info like this hold for young Nigerians is far more than the kobo kobo millions that come from blogging gossips and peddling lies. Why are we not long term driven in this country?

noblezone: the only lesson I see is that we must sit down as a matter of urgency and negotiate our existence.

If we cant remain peacefully, let us separate.

I agree...

T9ksy: The above bolded quote just cracked me up..........I think one Obj is enough for any society to

deal with.

Thoroughly bred Yoruba men don't sleep with their son's wives even if the woman is a slut. Yes his son fell in love with elders' meal and the father warned him that the lady is not a wife material, but stubbornness run in their dna and the son went ahead and married the babe. So the father slept with his son's wife to teach him a lesson and to sow wild seeds... Ask musiwa, he mapped the event.

No smoke without fire..Okwudili executed a number of search warrant at OBJ's dad's residence when ever OBJ's father was not home. OBJ is actually a bastard as recanted by his colleagues in the ARMY. Ask IBB or Buhari. Remember OBJ's moral was questioned at some point by IBB when they went on verbal war on the pages of the newspaper, remember OBJ slept with his son's wife in the bid to produce a bastard like himself.

Nairaland, please remember that this is our only country and sometimes objectivity should count beyond regional interest. Nigeria deserves our patriotism, this post has been since April and your moderators don't think it deserves front page...sad.
You probably have sold your soul to love for money... I wonder if you have not already sold Nairaland to CIA who will like to disintegrate our country ASAP and sell Chaos and immorality to our youths. Shame on you.

tomakint: The Man Jonathan: The Myth and the Mystery! This is what makes the man unique, just check out the confusion going on in the camp of his political opponents! Jonathan all the way.....

Jonah Jonah...

Wow... I think the Journalists are taking this man out of contest for trying to rationalise offerring of olive branch to Boko Haram as offerred to Niger-Delta militants and criminals. Nonetheless, it is absolutely unacceptable for leaders to play regional politics of "my people and their people". Buhari's utterance, if true, does not tell well about a man seeking to lead this country.

You are empty.. no debate. Too shalow in spiritual affairs to earn any attention. "egg in a bottle"

tomakint: Now this is the type of thread that deserves to be at the frontpage not all those gossips and psychobabbles we see around these days! @ OP, welldone for this enlightening piece!

Now it obvious that the agenda of moderators running Nairaland has no iota of patriotism... going through the front page this morning, all i see are news that sow seeds of discord and fear, nothing about motivating a people. It is sad.

saintneo: Tonto Dike follow for this one ~ front page abeg

Land of Billionaires and Poorinaires

He has fought his battles, but the system refuses to yield. The more he fights the more he is told, "Na your Papa business?" A system where the oppressed are ready to eat bread crumbs even though they are entitled to big loaves. For little bread crumbs, the oppressed become slaves and assist in enslaving others.

For how long are we going to blame the leaders, he asked. Instead everyone is busy trying to steal/cheat as much as they can. This problem is beyond leadership, it is a problem of the people, it is a blindness of the people.....if they could only dream.


If they could only dream....

Great minds on Niaraland... Nice one... I think we dream but we dont know how best pursue individual happiness... implementation is the biggest problem in Nigeria.

Moderators!!!! why should meaningful write ups like this remain here than taken to the fornt page... all you people put up in front page is entertainment info with little or no value to the growth of this country. This brilliant conversation should be put out there for people to be aware

Nashville: Poster,

That was a great write up. However, I do not entirely blame the billionnaires, I mostly blame the poorinaires for letting the thieves rob them blind. Nigeria is in a very sorry state. The leaders have so impoverished the masses that the masses are almost powerless. The masses are uneducated, unexposed and do not even know their rights as individuals.

But I also blame the masses because each person only cares about himself/herself, we have allowed tribalism and greed to divide us rather than focus on the common enemy - our leaders who rob us blind. Nairaland is a good example of what I am talking about.

I do not blame Dangote because he is not the Nigerian government and cannot take over the responsibilities of the government. I agree that he could do more by giving back to the society, but why should he, when he himself is a product of government and not society.

Let us be real, unless the people begin to hold their leaders accountable, Nigeria will not change. Unless people start voting the best indivuduals and not based on tribal and regious sentiments, Nigeria will not change. Unless we move to true Federalism, Nigeria will not move forward!

Absolutely agree with you that this is a good write up and I agree entirely that we the everyday people are part of the problem. We all come here on Nairaland and focus on the most silly issues and not use a healthy paltform like this to start a movement to turn this country around.

Food no dey..poorinaires

Still vexing... silly country

akpomeme: Right now, I am at Bovi show which he said was suppose to start at 7:00 pm this is 8:45, not even a word from the organizers why they are running late. The NIgerian audience is highly taken for granted and I happen to be one of them. They take your money and give you a half baked show after so much hype. When will this country and the people that depend on our patronage begin to pay attention to intrinsic intangible values of keeping to time and promise. Bullocks!!!

smh...Nigeria!

noblezone: Thanks for this thread!

Were Nigeria to had not qualified for quarter final, about 20 threads would have sprung up by now blaming the "retardeen".



Bros, the man is even so clueless that he was celebrating the victory with his wife!

Please my opposition brothers who heaped our Olympic poor showing on Jonathan should please come here and tell us who to heap our fantastic showing at the African cup of nation...show yourselves for what you truly are (two faced) nigas or shut up!!!!

vin4ever: .,.......

I told you all so that these bunch of people were arrogant and spat on our collective faces by goingtoLondon to seek an exparte order. Now I am justifiedbecause these reasons where cited by the prciding Judge.

asha 80: hehe abeg no mind that person.na typical naija response.however do you have any idea of how capital oil is going to offset the 42b naira debt?any time line?

Probably a 20 years repayment plan...lol

ballabriggs: I don't know if it is a case of fraud as fraud is a legal issue. However, I find it most irresponsible that a Director of a bank makes a silly excuse of "sentiments" in making his decision.

As a Director at the strategic level in a financial institution, risk should be a language, it should be embedded, there should be a 'taken-for-grantedness' of risk as only then can you effectively cascade and embed a risk culture at lower levels of the organisation.

Maduka engaged in a very risky transaction using creditors funds and this is one of the reason why in some jurisdictions loans to Directors are absolutely forbidden. It gives a level of control as Directors cannot be trusted not to misuse these funds.

I urge the CBN to come harder on the issue of loans to Directors and disclosure of such loans in the books.

I agree entirely. Aig should be investigated...another dodgy associate of Gej. Don't understand Jonah at all. I hear they want to reward aig with cbn governor position for doing jonah's bidding. Na wah.
