Y wailing & hating if pdp wins pdp,& yur pdp is still ruling in disguish.

What an arrogant display of ebolanized logic.. Everybody hates it that darkness has worsened; power doesn't discriminate who voted for whom. Tomato prices don't discriminate who is APC brigand vs PDP agent. Petrol prices don't care if you belong to 97% or 5%.. As a matter of fact, 97% is going to feel it a lot more cos poverty is more prevalent amongst that group and its quite insensitive of govt to introduce policies that are hurting the already impoverished masses.

Handsomecole:
I have a problem with Islamic extremists , I also have a bigger problem with gays. I also have a problem with the USA hastily linking the attack to "Islamic terrorist" whereas the shooter is not even on the US terror watch list, so as to attract public and world sympathy so that they can condemn the attack for them to forget that they legalised useless gay marriage and sex. So everything all together are evil. Both the stinking gays and the attack.

Keep ur morality out of this. The point is, this terrorist killed 50people, just like Dyan Roof killed blacks in a church. This is a hate crime and an act of terrorism.

Ayatullah:
Indeed Islam is a peaceful religion, but very severe against all that is evil like the Gay people, just as the bible decreed the stoning to death of Gay people.

Another Boko Haram recruit talking! Why you u always have to justify violence against people who don't share your view?!

ibedun:
You are a first class idiot. You think people in government are supermen and women? IPOB bastard from barren land, why don't you go and live for a single month in your state of origin. Sooner or later you saboteurs will be crushed.

What a display of Ebolanized logic.. Always making excuses for govt but quick to blame ordinary citizens.. So every Naija destroys PHCN property? Since you are among the saints, how come you don't have power? So vandalism started with this govt??
BTW, how's IPOB connected to this story??

Your post doesn't make sense. His cabinet is made up of PDP members who stole from Naija

duketunde:
Hello Nairalanders, What do you guys think about the persistent tomato scarcity and the Tuta absoluta dummy being sold to us by the FG?

I guess i am the only thinking and asking, Why is it now that Dangote recently opened a Tomato paste production factory that Tuta absoluta ravaged tomato farms in Nigeria.

Secondly, did the pest eat both the plant and the tomato seeds, thereby stopping reproduction? One thing i know for sure is Tuta absoluta have been around for so long and if you even plant anything apart from tomato pests must definitely eat some, so why is the new Tuta absoluta eating everything and not leaving anything for us or should we just agree that its a conspiracy between Dangote absoluta and FG absoluta?

Again FG told us that adultrated tomato paste had flooded Nigerian market and this could lead to cancer.. Question: Should we wait for Dangote tomato paste to be out before we start cooking with paste again?

Just musing tho....

Did FG sell or sold

You are speaking out of ignorance! Obj beat him fair and square is a fact. You're insinuating that GMB didn't lose is pure conspiracy theory.
How come Yar'dua beat him again?? GEJ organized the first election where he was beaten again. So every time he lost, it was rigged, but the first time he won, it was all free and fair even though same INEC under GEJ conducted both elections.
You are a political neophyte who feeds off sentiments and lies peddled by Politrickians and sycophants.
Tofa won in 3 SE states. Saying that SE/SS hate Buhari because of his tribe while at the same praising NW for not voting for OBJ, GEJ because of their tribe is hypocrisy
North has never voted for a presidential ticket without a northerner running as a president or VP.
Stop lecturing people about your patriotism when it's all about what is in it for the north

mhaikell:
This is where the problem of Nigeria lie. Moving forward instead of staying back. Everyone knows that the previous government did damage to Nigeria. We also know that PMB's one year has been a failure in all aspect. My point is... Let us support our president(like it or not GEJ z gone). We cannot keep praying for GEJ n expect PMB to work(he needs our support). Now PMB should admit dere were flaws in his first year and he shld start locating/solving dem instead of calling GEJ(this z a country, not a small state). I personally hate falling down den complaining... the aim of looking back z to correct ur wrongs n start running.
#ILOVENIGERIA #ILOVEMYCOUNTRY

Nope, you got it all wrong. The president and his team need stop this blame. Time for campaign was last year, time for governance is now. We didn't elect to be s blamer in chief but to be a commander in chief and show how things are done differently.

Ahmedhussain3463:
is pains me dt u preaching wht u cnt nt practice and does nt represent in real sense!majority of u,d reservation u av for buhari was just becos of his tribe!wht good tin has pdp brought into d country in their 16 years reign of power dt buhari is destroying as a result of his ineptitude?just becos buhari said e fought alongside some of his colleague to keep dis country together,e lost his colleague during d civil war and also turn d barrel of his gun towards his country men just to make sure nigeria remain one.and dt on dis ground e will maim,annihilate,oblietrate and mar any body or group of nigeria dt preach in favour of balkanization of dis entity call nigeria ,is dt nt y u guys hate him so much?militant has be ing resussitate,ipod are becoming a night mare.no pblem time will tell!buhari has nting to lose dt all i knw!is a septuagenarian dt has out lived d quinquagenarian dt life expectancy was peg in nigerian!my candy advise is dt dose who fan d ember of war becos of hatred for their leader should continue!

As a matter of fact GMB has proven his detractors in SE/SS right. They alleged that he would be a sectional and divisive leader, he has turned out to be one. How can SS/SE hate his tribe when they voted for Tofa and MKO/Kingibe. They voted for Yar'dua. They rejected GMB/Okadigbo ticket; they rejected GMB/Umezoke ticket-all Igbo sons rejected twice!! Even SW had rejected him until last year. Most southern folks had unfavorable of him befor the election unlike OBJ who was viewed favourably in the north to beat him one. Yar'dua was viewed favourably; so was GEJ viewed favorably in 2011, but GMB always had no following in the south. I was one of the people who believed that he should be given a chance, but he lost me on 97% vs 5% and appointing same PDP cross-carpeters to god cabinet, same folks who stole from their states to fund his campaign

Martins301:
Dele Momodu likes to talk from all sides of his mouth. You spend time composing an epistle as long as river Nile and then fill it with half truths and over generalizations.

For your information sir, the WHOLE country never accepted Jonathan's defeat in good fate. If they did can you explain the sudden agitations from the SE region that has plagued the government since May 29 2015?

Am quite sure you are aware that recent militant activities are an offshoot of those same agitations but you won't say so.

The government has made meaningful progress in keeping to it's mandate. It has beefed up security (applicants no longer pay to apply for government vacancies) and also commenced implementation of it's social intervention programs.

What I expect you to do is write an even longer epistle asking all those who have stolen and stashed our foreign exchange in their bedrooms and faraway lands and banks to return the money. Tell those who are painful losers to accept defeat magnanimously and pray for Nigeria's progress and stop being a peddler of lies and bad omen.

GMB got the lowest amount in any presidential election since 1999. He went ahead to say that he would not run n inclusive govt by treating 97% that voted for him better than 5% that opposed him.
He just won by 3m votes while GEJ, Yar'dua and OBJ all beat by over 10m votes and none made such divisive and vindictive statement.
As a matter of fact , his region gave GEJ the lowest number of votes, but he built more schools in that region than in SS/SE.
Also, SW didn't vote for OBJ in 1999, but he rewarded them handsomely with govt projects and juicy appointments
GMB is just vindictive and inflexible.

Another bloated govt.. Any nation whose cost of running govt is 70% should not be increasing it!! Why not get forfeiture order from the court and auction those properties??

Stole Naija dry with his cronies. Squandered gulf war oil windfall in $£€ bn. Handed out oil blocs to cronies like Indimi, who built a Univetsity build in the US.. Naija is really blessed with demons!!

And the only thing they are comfortable cutting is capital spending by 50%?? So GMB is budgeting only 15% for capital project.. No govt since ObJ has done this!! He's not willing to sacrifice anything or presidential comfort

aresa:
Coming from the head bigot and tribalist himself.

I know you and that ignorant poster drink from the same hate filled and tribally polluted well, but at least he asked question, you don't ask question, you just spew your tribal and ignorant rubbish with no qualms just like you did when you labeled Lagos state's Medical Park project a scam.....lmao

I know anything and everything about Lagos brings you and your hatred out so not you show face...

Lagos gives you sleepless nights, but you care less about your own backward and zero project villages even though your villages collect IGRs and allocations too...Face your village and leave Lagos alone, the governor of Lagos is nit your governor and he's not responsible for your backwardness..

I have your time so let's hear it..
.

But you have not answered any question.. You're just calling people names without any facts to back up your claim..

aresa:
I thought you started the thread to pass knowledge so why hold on to details that doesn't exist beyond the ignorant rubbish doesn't you posted already
?

You hate your country so much and so tribally consumed that you accept and think inferior and low scale rubbish in another country is better than the more comprehensive and sophisticated project in your own country.

The Lagos metro system with 10 lane expressway is the largest public works project in Nigeria and the whole of Africa as we speak.

This is the kind of project sovereign nations embark on and not an ordinary state in Nigeria.

Ethiopia is a country and Lagos state is a state.

It took a whole country like UAE with vast oil money to complete ordinary metro rail project without 54km expressway or having to build a whole metro bridge over any body of water like the Lagos lagoon.

The things that your should be proud of about your own country is what you hate so much .. You gladly assept lesser and inferior things from other countries as superior and better than yours when in fact common sense and a little education should tell you it's the other way around.

Beats me why you and your kind don't reserve your hatred and bitterness for your village leaders with nothing to show for your taxes and allocations.

You spend so much time hating other people and their progress that you remain blind to your own lack of progress or anything to show for your existence.

Somebody asking genuine questions is called tribalisic and unpatriotic Naija is really peopled by dimwitted folks!!

Keep asking.. Amechi's monorail of 8km got $1.2bn without completion

Airforce1:
they wanted him "fired" and they wanted him "dead" are two different meaning.


Buhari wanted Jonathan out of office so he could take over but didn't wanted him dead.

"Didn't wanted" is bad English.. "Did"is past tense of "do" just like "wanted"is past tense of "want"

koboko69:
Sure i am. There is deafening silence when killings are carried out in the south even against each other. But when BokoHaram Haram strikes in the North, Nigeria automatically becomes a Zoo. These guys are super clowns

What an Ebolanized logic..BH has killed close to 100,000 Nigerians and displaced millions over religion.. Most northerner kept quiet because they started out killing Xtians!
Southernets protested ALUU killings and demanded actions not like most northerners were blaming the victim including GMB!

It was Yar'dua who reached agreement with militants and they drastically reduced their criminal activities..
GMB came on board in his boisterous and bragadocious manner stopped negotiation with those ND guys.. As military general, he should have known they art of negotiation to keep your enemies in check..
This sort of experimental leadership has to stop!!
We have lost many lives, $$bn and properties because of this knee-jerk policy..
" To whom the gods wish to destroy, they first nuke their common sense"

Xbabangida:
Sometimes, I wonder what these so called doctors think they are. Very Illiterate and useless set of people.

What a display of Ebolanized brain! How many people in ur lineage are smart enough to pass JAMB let alone being admitted to med school.. Dimwitted folks hating what they can't replicate!!

No wonder Naija average IQ is 60.. India, China, US and EU are making smart phones and going to then moon while Nigerians believe witchcraft and occultism are holding them back.
Looking at the late wife's pic, it's clear that she had a lot body mass..she could be morbidly obese- she could have died of cardiac arrest as result of her unhealthy lifestyle. It's common knowledge that well-off peeps in Naija, overdo things like eating, drinking and partying with little or no exercise..
We rarely talk about family history of health or predisposing factors.. It's always one family member killing us!!

because he's fantastically corrupt!!

LordofNairaland:
How do you know he was justifying the murder? After condemning the murder, he admonished everyone to understand one another's religions to live peacefully. That is a piece of common good advice in a "religious" state like Nigeria. I don't understand how that is justifying the barbaric act.

There is a piece of advice my dad usually gives me anytime I am visiting Nigeria. He would tell me, even though he knows how quiet I am, never to argue religion with a Muslim.

It's insensitive for GMB to infer that she was the the villain because some thugs alleged that she was blaspheming their religion.. Is there anything like that in Naija law?? Nope!! Why did he pander to those religious fanatics?? Life is sacred and irreplaceable and must come first before religion! The message still embodies some justification for their action .If she didn't blasphem their religion, she would have been alive. No Nigerian has the right to take another person's life irrespective of religion, tribe or political affiliation. This woman's right to life was violated and GMB was talking about religion? What isn't blasphemy to your religion does exist in my religion, does that mean that I should kill you??

LordofNairaland:
I wrote: "She might have been sentenced to death, if found guilty "

Endeavour to read my posts well in future. Moreover, I only used the sharia court trial as a balance to weigh Buhari "crime of breaking a Christian dress code" and the woman's "accused crime of desecrating the Qur'an".

The question you should ask yourself is: "Why didn't they accuse her of anything else but blasphemy?" Why blasphemy?

I am not justifying the murder. The reason why I am on this thread is because:

The OP twisted Buhari's statement to agree with what he (the OP) erroneously perceives Islam to be. He thinks Islam is evil and intolerable and thinks that Christians are tolerable. He thinks that if Christians were violent, they would have given Buhari the same treatment they gave the pastor's wife.

So I tried to explain to him that the woman was accused of desecrating the Qur'an and not for breaking dress codes at a religious gathering. There are different punishments for different crimes. Breaking dress codes isn't as heavy as desecrating the Quran. The fanatics who killed the woman could have accused her of passing in front of their religious gathering wearing a mini skirt but they didn't. They could have heaped different lies on her but they didn't. Instead they picked their usual lie (blasphemy) to get justification.

I am not defending anyone. I am not a religious person. But I will not like that the president's admonition be polarized along religious lines. Anyone could have made that statement. We all need to understand each other. That was what the president said and people like the OP read it in isolation and twisted it.

Defending president's statement shows that you are still in agreement with him for blaming the victim.. It was insensitive to suggest that had he woman respected her aggressor's religion, her life would have been spared.
The mistake contained in that statement is that we place religion over human life. He also suggests that death is the ultimate price to pay if you are accused of " disrespecting" their religion.
Since BH is holding Naija hostage and millions of Muslims are sympathetic to their fight, GMB missed a golden opportunity to take action that would deter potential BH recruits/sympathizers

LordofNairaland:
Are you blind or something? Please, if you have comprehension problems, stay off my posts.

Please, show me how I have justified the killing. I want to know.

I said they accused her. (Was that not what they did) What is my crime in stating that they accused her? Or do you have a problem with my use of the word accused

You can lie to yourself.. You justified their action by saying that the woman might have been sentenced to death by Sharia if she he had been to court.. Big difference is, she was never tried in any court.. Btw, are Sharia courts allowed to try non-believers ? You are still suggesting that she was remotely responsible for her death...

Tokety7:

Femi is doing a pretty good job. The problem is we have so many foolish persons thinking they are doing a good job making sense from what Femi said.

What a display of wilful ignorance and sophisticated arrogance..
Media SA had ruled out the possibility of GMB being sick given his age and job. Instead he misled the country by saying that he was fit as a fiddle. He sounded very authoritative and assuring by implying that GMB's medical team had given him a clean bill of health.. Alas, no competent medical doctor would certify " healthy as a fiddle" and then send you for further tests in less than 24hrs!!
Stop defending SA's statement.. If he didn't want to mislead, he would have hinted that the president suffered minor ENT problems which didn't interfere with his duties or that they were waiting for test results or Doctor's advice.

LordofNairaland:
I never said they were right in murdering the woman. I even pointed out that there is a difference between Muslim extremists (those that killed the woman) and good Muslims (those who have joined others to condemn the dastardly act).

The woman was accused of desecrating the Qur'an. There is a possibility that if she had been taken to a Sharia court, she might still have been sentenced to death if found guilty. I don't think the sentence for breaking a dress code is heavy so assuming the Christians could try Buhari, he wouldn't get a death sentence. That was why I said your comparisons flaws your point and makes useless your thread.

Accused of what by religious thugs and fanatics?
Who made them police, prosecutors and judge?
What section of Naija law did she violate?
Keep justifying cold bold murder and it shall visit you one day!!
Nigeria is a religious country peopled by ungodly citizens.. You are one of them!!

ZUBY77:
I dont think any of you understood the point i am making with this post.

An innocent woman was beheaded in Kano because the fanatics said she disrespected Muhammed.
Then Buhari said we must respect other peoples religion to live in peace.

Now my point is, why didn't he respect the Christian Religion by removing his cap during prayers?

Average Naija IQ is 68.. Good luck preaching logic and common sense to them!!

bakila:
The topic is of Presidents going on vacation outside their country. If you read the huffpost article you would be much wiser.

You got it twisted bro!! The primary purpose if his visit is for medical care and then will rest after

Obama was riding a bike, Cameron was wearing a short on the beach. Presidents don't vacation in their official residence.

So you are comparing Canada with Naija??
Show us where their PM went abroad for medical attention?
Show us where UK PM listed them as fantastically corrupt?
Show us where they have power failure in Canada

Same govt that budgeted more money for Aso Rock Clinic than all the teaching hospitals in Naija??
Same govt that denied medical bail application to Dasuki and Olisa Metuh; contending that they should be treated in Naija...
Same GMB who said that parents seeking forex from CBN to pay their children's school fees are out of luck??
I wonder if he's getting forex to pay for checkup and travels at CBN or black market rate.
Same govt that has denied forex to Nigerians who have genuine medical reason to travel abroad...
Government of hypocrites by hypocrites for hypocrites!!

Naija mentality of dash.. Why do rich folks have to dash money to petty traders? It's called forces of demand and supply.. Rich people aren't to be blamed for her situation. She's a hard working woman, just like my mom who had to haggle and bargain with all her customers when she was a market woman..
