Whichever context u apply it, any lawless retaliatory attack launched anywhere is stil criminal & thus punishable under law in any jurisprudence!

There's no right way 2 do a wrong thing nah!

Yes you're right but you don't call someone that drove while intoxicated a bandit....We can't just sweep all criminal behavior under one single term.

ethicallyright:
The bold is my concern, you know. Can those Hollywood celebs lace Obama's boots? No, they can't and he achieved that status with Mrs. Obama.

If a poll is organized today for Americans to choose between Obama's Wife , Trump's Wife and Biden's wife . Be honest, who will win?

Obama became a president yet he is not richer than majority of those celebs in Hollywood, furthermore Obama was not rich when he met Michelle, they were both university students struggling. I'm talking about rich black men!

ethicallyright:
It would actually be news if they celebrated a decade of being together as a couple.

Most human males of African descent live the most stupid lives possible.

You grow up in a poor neighborhood with many of your mates dead before they clock 20 due to gun violence. There are many well behaved African American girls in those neighborhoods willing to share you in peace.

But because of unsolved Identity crises and inferiority complex , you move on to a plastic white daughter of an elite Caucasian who would never say "hi" if you were not a superstar.

I may troll our African women, but I think African men, home and abroad do not really deserve these special beautiful African women. Those women who break that barrier and become successful in life never submit their hearts to white men. They share those resources with us. We should endeavor to marry ourselves so that this little wealth we've started to find can multiply.

Hate to the bearer of bad news but divorce rate among couples of same ethnicity is a lot higher than those that are mixed, especially in the USA. If you are successful and black, there's absolutelty no incentive to marry a black or brown woman in the USA, most can't raise your status in society, most are likely to get way more whenever you do divorce due to income disparity and then there's loyalty or like they say nowadays ENTANGLEMENT! If you are a rich black man in America especially in Hollywood with ambitions to make it to the very top, surely you would want to hook up with someone that can take you to the next level, this is especially true for celebrities, it's all a business contract which expires within a decade or two if you're lucky.

FullBlastLight:
But, d English pple, according 2 Oxford dictionary, said bandit is synonymous wit fugitive nah!

Check it out below:

Yes but how can you be a fugitive if you haven't been suspected, arrested or convicted? Fugitive literally means someone on the run from the law, bandits in the Nigerian context is synonymous with Fulani Herdsmen. This is where advanced English classes becomes helpful, there's one thing to see it in a dictionary and another thing to actually apply it using the proper context.

doxijaw:
Na wa oh. But this means politicians are not the only problems in Nigeria, it's the people.

Before nko....Who be politician? No be people like you & I? We've had someone without shoes, we've had someone who couldn't afford nomination form, we've had an educated Ph.D holder and an illiterate, makes no difference. It's the reason why when most of us leave this country, we have to be educated again not only scholarly but behaviorally as well.

doxijaw:
Civilized progressive Nigerians doing what they know best.

Hand him over to the police, no.

They love depravity and perversion, anything dark and disturbing, na blacks go they there.

You're assuming police would not extort the boy or anyone that comes to bail him. In 9ja, punishments like this is way more effective than our useless piolice system. In advanced country the boy would have been rehabilitated but in 9ja koboko and proper beatings will reset your brain and if not then you're better off being offered to the gods as sacrifice!

HellVictorinho:
All bandits are criminals.

I agree but not all criminals/offenders are bandits

FullBlastLight:
Wich definition are u talking abt?

D dictionary definition I displayed here has CRIMINAL, FUGITIVE, etc, as d synonyms 4 BANDITS.

In a nutshell, retaliating evil wit evil is taking law into one's hand, and dt in itself is unlawful, unconstitutional, criminal, and there4 punishable under law!

Maybe my Ph.D is failing me but fugitive and bandits are not synonyms, they share characteristics but they are not synonyms, YOU CAN'T REPLACE ONE WITH THE OTHER IN EVERY SITUATION hence it fails the synonyms test. Commiting a crime does not make you a bandit, child abusers, those who drive unlawfully, public intoxication, even women beaters are not bandits. So are we right to call everyone that participates in jungle justice as bandits or terrorists regardless of the situation? I grew up in Mushin, where jungle justice was as common as Agege bread, by your definition everybody in Mushin is a bandit , do you see how silly it sounds? This is what the Gov was trying to explain, as easy as it is to term all herdmen as bandits, it is factually INCORRECT!

skyk7:
I am tired of this country abeg. With people like this I am certain this nation will continue to go down... No hope abeg! Olodo governor...

So perhaps they are not all bandits, some are revenge seekers, some are frustated sheep according to the Gov. If Boko Haram can be given amnesty, why are we surprised at this request?

FullBlastLight:
If BANDITRY is a CRIME, then a BANDIT can definitely be nothing else bt a CRIMINAL!

Or, is banditry lawful, legal or constitutional, to warrant dt kind of misguided drivel u call a statement? Huh?

Does he actually know d meaning of d word BANDIT? Huh?

By this definition, you've just confirmed what the Governor said was right. If someone stole your cow or destroyed your property and you went to get revenge, does it make you a bandit? Is this not the same 9ja where someone steals tomatoes or food stuff from the market and next thing you know people are putting tyre on him doing jungle justice?

Before we start criticizing soldiers or anyone, let's be frank with one another. Soldier, Police, Herdsmen, SARS, Politicans, Village People, Kidnappers, One Chance.....All these people are Nigerians, at which point in time do we start realizing the sickness is not the position but rather the heart of the average Nigerian? We have become so desensitized in this country that news like rape, kilings etc are just part of the normal routine, give an average Nigerian small power and watch the Almighty complex emerge, nobody get time for compassion anymore, it is oppressed or be oppressed, no middle ground....MAY GOD HELP US ALL

The problem is that these scammers do more damage than most people are aware of. E for better if they only target large businesses because those ones get insurance and fit write off any loss in taxes but when you target small businesses, the widows, the common man who managed to save up $100,000 to $200,000 after working 20-40 years this becomes dangerous because those ones end up committing suicide or going into deep depression that affects not only them but their families as well.

For some of you who think say hustle na hustle, imagine you don work 10 years, you don invest all your money in a bank or jewelries and some bloody fool wiped it all out, will you pray for that person or would you personally visit the god of thunder and put a hit on him/her? 9ja people we must rid ourselves of these dangerous scammers/cancers. It might be too late for our generation but imagine your kids and their kids, what type of reputation would they have? To travel out for common vacation they must be interrogated like criminals, even to shop on international websites na wahala....ABEG WE CAN DO BETTER, WE MUST DO BETTER!

We have craze, we have Nigerian craze then we have Asian version of crazy especially the Chinese and those in Thailand and India.......Sorry bro, no LONG THING

Something scary is brewing against 2023, those who are smart should be obtaining their visas and jetting out as soon as possible, with this news we can all now agree that APC=PDP and PDP=APC= Recycling, a word is enough for the wise!

Lol Trump media aide we Americans have voted the bleach man and the tyrant out.

It's nothing new, I also voted for Biden, just don't want false news spread around regardless of the subject!

stayclearofme:
Where were you when Trump was asking people to inject themselves with bleach? America is now at peace the thug president is out, a decent man is in power.

It's sad that you're still spreading rumors after almost a year, for your education, here's what trump actually said, word for word:

"And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning, because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it’d be interesting to check that, so that you’re going to have to use medical doctors with, but it sounds interesting to me. So, we’ll see, but the whole concept of the light, the way it kills it in one minute. That’s pretty powerful."

Later, Trump clarified his comments after a reporter asked Bryan whether disinfectants could actually be injected into COVID-19 patients.

"It wouldn’t be through injections, almost a cleaning and sterilization of an area. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn’t work, but it certainly has a big effect if it’s on a stationary object."

BE WISE.....DON'T LET THE MEDIA TURN YOU INTO A DUMMY!

What does your senseless comment has to do with a known music star (star wanna be)disrespecting a lady and degrading himself?

If your small pawee is giving you inferiority complex, may be you should proceed and start a new topic.

Once again, a real man will never make such a despicable comment about the private part of a woman.

Define a real man, as far as I'm concerned human emotions can overtake almost anyone! The guy obviously felt attcked because let's be frank, the girl attacked his career and his integrity as a man and he felt the only thing he could attack her with his her well known body issues. Forget all this bullshit real man talk, when people get angry they say and do things you won't believe, it has nothing to do with being a man but more to do with human emotions, it should be a testament to the girl actually that out of all things she could be accused of professionally, the man chose a weak argument of smelly private part.

For someone that is retired and no longer relevant, all these politicians and politicalc ritics can't seem to keep his name out of their mouth. Free publicity, free awareness. You have foreign ambassadors, kings, leaders etc meeting with him, you have politicians shaking on the mere mention of his name and you say he's no longer relevant....KONTINUE, una go shock when this man handpicks the next president

Greatihex:
I can see how you dodged the one of tithe.


Christ did not change anything yet he told them not to practice eye for an eye that was once given to them as law? He told them to love even their enemies and not just people that loves them. He told them not to divorce and give divorce certificate, but don't divorce at all except for sexual unfaithfulness and don't remarry after divorce. Yet you say he didn't change anything?

Well, I have made you see what I wanted you to see.

And please, stop deceiving people with your twisted interpretation of the word of God.

I'm trying to believe you are educated and not just winging statements from your ass, so tell me of all the things you listed which word of God was changed by Christ? Like I said before you're confusing the laws of Moses/traditional law with the word of God. Please know the difference!

Greatihex:
“What sorrow awaits you Pharisees! For you are careful to tithe even the tiniest income from your herb gardens, but you ignore justice and the love of God. You should tithe, yes, but do not neglect the more important things. Luke 11:42.

Your argument is invalid, not when there are teachings of Christ that invalidate the one of old testament.

Maybe we should still continue to stone prostitutes to death nah, according to your theory.

I failed to see how what you wrote correlates with what we are discussing here, you are confusing customs and traditions with the word and ways of God, nowhere in the bible did God instruct anyone to stone prostitutes to death rather what you are trying reference is the laws of Moses, which was the same laws used by the Egyptians, perhaps you are referring to the punishment for worshipping false gods? Furthermore, Christ himself said this, Matthew 5:17 (“Do not think that I have come to abolish Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.”). Christ did not invalidate anything in the old testament, the 10 commandments still stayed relevant, till today Pastors are still using old testament for tithes, sodom & gomorrah to preach against homosexuality etc. Don't try to deviate the discourse with sentiments PLEASE!

OlawaleBammie:
Guy pls sheybi u dey drink happy hour??

I want to give u four for a job well done

Don't let my religious opponent see this o, he fit claim Alcohol is anti-christian

IhateInjustice:
You claimed they(Abraham and Noah) had more than one wife and I proved you wrong.

Some things were allowed in the old testament like stoning people, polygamy etc but Christ came in the new testament to correct it.

Do you know of anyone in the new testament that had more than one wife?

Christianity started after Christ died so people should stop claiming that Christianity supports polygamy because it doesn't.

Go on if you want to practice it and ensure you let your wife know before tying the knot but don't hide under "it is Biblical".

HA HA! Now that we've gone full circle, let me remind you of your initial quote especially the bold word:

He married 2 sisters because he was manipulated to do so by the father in law.

He didn't plan to, he loved the second daughter but the father in law deceived him by giving him the first.

God created Adam and Eve not Adam and Eves

The problem with nowadays Christians is that most seem to discard the old testament when it does not suit their purpose(Polygamy, violence etc) and embrace it when it does(Tithes, theory of creation, etc). Did you know that Christianity exited long before Christ came to Earth? If we are to believe the whole trinity, then surely you must know that Christ existed long before Abraham. Furthermore to burst your bubble, are you saying Christianity has nothing to do with old testament? So you're saying Abraham, Moses, Elijah, Solomon, David, Jacob are irrelevant to the christian faith? Goodluck facing your pastor on Sunday when he is using Malachi 3:9-10 to preach about tithe, hope you can be bold enough to call him out, after all old testament has nothing to do with Christianity

IhateInjustice:
Noah only had one wife

God saved him and his wife, his 3 sons and their wives (one wife each ) , even animals were taken in pairs (a male and its mate)

Genesis 7 vs 2 to 9

Take with you seven pairs of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and one pair of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate,

3 and also seven pairs of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive throughout the earth.

4 Seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living creature I have made.”

5. And Noah did all that the Lord commanded him.

6. Noah was six hundred years old when the floodwaters came on the earth.

7. And Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives entered the ark to escape the waters of the flood.

8.Pairs of clean and unclean animals, of birds and of all creatures that move along the ground,

9. male and female, came to Noah and entered the ark, as God had commanded Noah.

Ok this is getting boring so I'm going to throw the kitechen sink at you to remove all doubts, here we go:

The first man recorded in scripture that had more than one wife was Lamech. His wives were called Adah and Zillah (Genesis 4:19). Jacob also had two wives: Rachel and Leah (Gen. 29:30). Esau had three wives: Mahalath (Gen. 28:9), Basemath (Genesis 36:13), and Oholibamah (Genesis 36:14). The most famous Biblical men to have multiple wives were King Saul (2 Samuel 12:7-, King David (2 Samuel 5:13) and King Solomon (1 Kings 11:1-3). King Solomon had 1,000 wives and concubines.

Even if you managed to escape Abraham and Noah, surely you can't deny King David & Solomon? As a bonus, let me throw in Jacob, yes Jacob that nigga Jacob....you remember?

IhateInjustice:
Please quote where Abraham married more than one wife , stop adding what is not in the bible.

He slept with Hagai because Sarah told him to and chase her away when she told him to too.

He married another woman(keturah) after Sarah died Gen 25:1

I think your bible knowledge is on life support, please read properly I don't have time to argue:

https://biblia.com/bible/esv/genesis/16/3

Even if you managed to escape Abraham's case, what of Noah?

IhateInjustice:
He married 2 sisters because he was manipulated to do so by the father in law.

He didn't plan to, he loved the second daughter but the father in law deceived him by giving him the first.

God created Adam and Eve not Adam and Eves

Explain Abraham and his wives or David who took concumbines.....Make una continue dey decieve una sef

Person wey we wan sacrifice come dey rub oil for body I can't wait, I would gladly burn my Nigerian passport and denounce this foolish zoo of a country!

post=98732833:
Nigerians home and abroad , kindly take note!

Let us juxtaposed the NIN registration to our National Passport.

Imagine you walk into an Immigration office to apply for an international passport.
You are asked for information verifying your identity and you just give them a number and instantly the Immigration officials connect to the National Identity Database – all your required information appears on their computer screen.
They can only see information they are authorised to see.
Done, your identity is verified – no need to go get extra documents, spend more money, just to prove who you are.
That is the convenience provided by your NIN.
This is synonymous with Social Security Number (SSN), if you don't have that in some countries abroad, you will just be living like a corpse, without being able to do anything in life, a corpse will even be better than your as$! 
It’s the same thing when you go to process a driver’s licence, you would only need to present your NIN and your identity would be verified.

This is how it is done in saner climes we all want to emulate.
We will surely get there someday soon.

God bless Nigeria.

What happened to the National Identity cards, the BVN and so on? We have been sold this promise of El-Dorado before and like all things in Nigeria, it is nothing but an avenue to suffer the masses and loot the treasury.....WE SAY NO TO SNAKE OIL & FOOLISH DREAMS!

OLOSHO.........This is what we would be saying if he was a woman.....9ja people i hail o

It can only happen in Arab countries or countries with macho attitutde! Marriage or relationships is not by force, it is a contract and either party is free to terminate the contract at any point without remorse. Let's stop this foolishness, the woman is saying she wants to leave now peacefully and the court is saying no, let's not act shocked if she ends up pouring boiled water or cutting the man's blokos off.

Why would a man want to stay with a woman that wants to leave? It's stupid! Sure the time wasted and the money invested hurts but shouldn't the man be thanking God for opening his eyes? A lot of poeple are still married to their enemies and are clueless......Better to be divorced than to be murdered by a wife that wants to jaye by force
