headlights , careful there, some folk might misconstrue that to mean something else, if you know what i mean

[quote author=Jackal. link=topic=16992.msg2147473#msg2147473 date=1208031485]his moronic dance[/quote]thank you for your spot on observation, i retract all my earlier statements

adebayour , i never believed the guy one day, my fear that he would become the woe of arsenal has been proven this season. if nothin else, he has proven that there is a wide gulf between a striker/attacker and a goal scorer. some sitting ducks him no fit convert. even see the way he celebrated the second anfield goal like say the goal win world cup, selfishly trying to claim credit after all the wonderful hardwork wey walcott do. na when him see say no body come celebrate with am naim him use shame go meet the rest of his mates. thats not sportsmanly at all and falls well below the kind of team spirit required for triumphs to be achieved.

i love arsenal meeen, but adebayour no fit enter that top nine role at all, even obafemi go do better job, and he is not even good enough for arsenal. arsene berra get a goalscorer against next season oh as i have already concluded thats its gonno be another triumphless season. the focus should be on making the team stronger. maybe next season dem go challenge stronger. . .

^{everybody just dey conclude, but me i dey fear chelsea small , na their own double fit come sweet pass oh, imagine grant winning the epl and the ucl in his first season after the departure of the special one. infact na chelsea i dey support for the crown as with the way the gunners are firing, make liverpool no go push dem go fourth}

abebayour musto go. . .

brother poster, you do not have to corroborate the name of the almighty by trying to show the relationship (real or perceived) between halleluyah and God, although i am not a great one, i fear that you might be threading on very thin ice here by taking a risk of reducing the name of one whom is believed by millions (probably billions) to be the supreme personality of God to nothing more than a play on linguistic semantics.

i understand your point though and i believe there might be some who might see reasons with you, but while trying to convince those who do not, do not impugn a derogatory perception on the name and concept of God. those that claim to be modern followers of christ have succeeded in confusing their followers by ascribing various terms and appelations to be the name of the one true and living God and other faith based beliefs have coined different names for the creator. but i believe that if one claims to serve the God that Moses served, the one whom Abraham called and who is both mentioned as that great God of the times of the ancient nations, then one need not be confused as to his name. I might call him Jehovah, others may call him Yahweh and you call him God, if he is one and the same, we need not fight ourselves over it as we would jolly well know for sure in the next system which both the christian faith and the great religion subscribes to.

halleluyah as a word is a form of praise and lauding as used in the days of old and has never been known to denote an appelation for the creator. let eachbody be mindful of our zeal that we do not inadvertently grieve the spirit of the almighty. saul the latter apostle of christ thought he was doing the work of almighty father in the new testament bible, but infact he was guilty of persecuting that which he thought he was promoting. i appreciate your zeal for your faith, but do not equate the name of God to some terminology that is neither the name of the divine nor divinity itself.

as long as we keep the peace and follow the principles of love and peace as laid down by The Great Prophet (PBH), Christ etc, i think that we should all be okay, but if we continue to enmesh ourselves in petty squabbles and intolerance of other faiths, then even we have failed and would not be worthy to be called followers of those whom we claim to be guided by. . .

what next? lets all continue to wait for godot sorry almondjoy

okay, we ain't talking about missing peeps today, we're talking about moderators and the way una no dey respect them. it ain't fair though, but i guess that some people have just gots to show themselves anywhere dem enter? sad

na wa oh, so y'all are still on the matter. . .

The threshold of anarchy:

Now we assuredly approach a crossroads in the confrontation between the tenets of order and the rule of law on the one side and disorder and a tendency to lawlessness on the other side. This discourse is not intended to discredit the justified struggles of the peoples of the Niger Delta who have suffered a total neglect by successive regimes and administrations rather, in solidarity with the struggle, we seek to condemn in no unneccessary terms the resort to violence and intimidation as employed by some versed in the unleashing of terror under the guises of militancy for the cause of the peoples of this most deprived region. Never in the history of the political man has it been proven that a resort to violence and terror was the best option or approach in resolving issues.

While it was hitherto regarded as a right of a people to revolt under bad governance, contemporary constitutions have expunged this in the face of modern reality of a negotiated coexistence. The issue of violence and militancy in the niger delta is a natural developement from the many years of neglect of developing but the peoples and infrastructures in this part of the country. The niger delta aside, other parts of the nation has continued to suffer from this malaise but the reason why the delta has raised concern is because the immense wealth that is generated for the nation is wholly derived from their territory. Thus it becomes unacceptable that the squalor and crass underdevelopement that bedevil the various communities that make up this area continues. Thankfully, there has been a realisation of the fact that these peoples need to be pacified, if not for anything, but for the severely damaged eco system that is vital to their continued survival and sustainability. However, this is not the only reason, but also for the fact that they need to become fully intergrated into the nations mainstream, some would argue that the fact of the number two guy lends credence to the fact that this has actually become a reality, but it should go beyond that and proceed to provide the basic neccessities of food, clothing, shelter and also infrastructure that would be of both an economic/ financial benefit to the peoples.

The establishment of the NDDC by the immediate past administration was regarded as a step in the right direction and it is still expected that much would be achieved by the commission if it can avoid playing politics with her terms of reference. The involvement of the nations oil regulatory body and her multinational partners in community developementm is laudable and should be extended to touch the lives of ever more communities and individuals who are most in need of this assistance which rather than being a favour should under normal circumstances have been a right. With the conscious efforts by the current administration at enthroning a polity which is underlined by the respect for the rule of law, the marauding pillagers masquerading as politicians and community leaders should become more alert as any slip up could mean them answering some embarrassing questions as to their actions in the missaplication of funds meant for public service. The populace is becoming more politically aware and most folk these days would actually want to be involved in having a say in the way they are governed, only most are still afraid for their safety.

This issue of security or the lack of it is gradually becoming the great obstacle to the wholistic transformation of the majority "followership" of the state. The challenge to the present administration is not merely making noise about the power sector or other sectors of the economy. We believe that the biggest monster that has to be tamed is the security issue. But sadly, the domestic security of the nation is not just something that some officials would parade some apprehended or expended suspects and show them on television, that would still not make me go to sleep with both eyes closed.

In this regard, the challenge to provide adequate security for the majority of the citizenry is not just to Mr. President who is the chief security officer of the nation, it also goes to the various security apparatus of the country, the army, navy, airforce, police, civil defence and all other apparatus of state security. It is a shame that federal government establishments and parastatals and also private firms (both local and foreign) are dialoguing with known criminals hiding under the guise of militancy on terms on the securing if their installations. It is a shame that where our military is touted as one of the best in Africa, they do not have the wherewithal to comprehensively combat these terrorists and bring out a return to normalcy in our delta water ways. The corruption inherent in the nations security apparatus is appaling as it has degenerated into a situation where individuals and not the institutions which they represent are accorded respect. It is a shame that in the face of those who are trained to protect lives and property, unresolved high profile politically motivated killings, daily armed robbery attacks on financial institutions and brazen kidnaps are the order of the day. In this regard, how does one justify the demands made by militants to be given over half a billion naira for the securing of some federal installed installations located within our waterways. The ridiculousness of the matter is that the GMD of the nations oil regulatory body publicly confirmed ongoing negotiations with folk who have been associated with kidnapping, ransom, hostage taking and many other punishable offences? It is not so hard to imagine though, not where we have been told that officials of state have variously employed these hoodlums to perpetrate their many anti people atrocities.

Methinks it is high time that the spirit of the law is proven to be in tandem with the letter, that it is the time where the institutions that exist to provide the security of a state live up to their responsibility and do their jobs. 700 Million naira demanded by these militants could well be enough to motivate a special intervention that could totally nip this militancy in the bud. The various war courses taken by our military officers should be put to use, because to all intent and purpose, if a war is not declared on the criminality that is being brazenly expressed by these militanst, it is very well likely that a war is what the nation is going to find themselves in with the rebels in the creeks as most studies of guerilla rebellions follow a similar chronology of events as that being presently witnessed in the niger delta (that is not a prayer for our dear Naija).

Action however should be taken now as we are at that point which is very close to a breaking point, because if some militant can make demands from a federal government parastatal and the state concedes to pay for services which she has personnel trained by taxpayers money (and of course this same oil money too), then of what use is the state in providing security as would well have been under the mercy of the same elements that can bend the arm of the state to submission, then the question would arise "What is the use of the state?", and such questions only act as a precursor to anarchy

Let us hope that the federal government under the present leadership would do something and fast too to assure the citizens of their security, then no one would have to bother about the vandalisation of the equipments of the expected massive action in the power sector and in any other sector for that matter. . .

if i say make i dey talk now, some folk might say i don start again i woulda delved into the re-enginering and re-orientation (albeit unconsciously and involuntarily) that is taking place in the minds of young people who want to see things being done right the right way. i woulda explored the obvious outcome of the political/social orientation of the past fifty years in the nation naija which is an acceptance of mediocrity and corruption in the body politic. how smear has become a weapon not just for the political elite but of the common man in the streets whose sensibilities have been a victim of the jackboots of a perrenial misrule by those who scheme themselves to political and financial power. but i would choose not to delve into such.

not everyone would appreciate, at least not with some mentality when i dey see for the forum sometimes. na bad thing if europeans and americans get account for nairaland or if the forum is transformed into a nest for intellectual stimulation? what makes one beacon? na the way you fit pass your thoughts across and the forum provides a means for that (and believe it or not, communication can be possible without bickering, smear, sarcasm and insults) but unfortunately, when i see the quality of posts even as present now, i dey fear sometimes

we should be challenging ourselves to excel and encouraging ourselves in the present reality of things. all the matter so go soon dey the hands of our peers, na now we go begin dey think of legacy for the next fifty years at least

if someone feel they got something to offer, make them just get the fresh id jare, make them begin dey contribute meaningful contributions, no beef, we all know that shit happens

^{somze, thot you and grandy had a better understanding, well, at least she can't give you some punishing strokes}

nothin girl, just tryin to tickle someones fancy. . .

lyrics to internal recesses of the mind:

a. for those not here with us to see these times, for those who lie beneath the sands,
and for those whose breadth would live to flow the climes and grow till the day be dawn
who fill gehenna, elena no, now you're not here to hold me close
and see the darkness of the nothingness, open your eyes, it's brighter than the sun

chorus: it's lonely when you're alone and in doubt, but closely follow the road to your heart, believing something is bound to occur, and in time you know that it is sure

bridge: i reach out to you my brother, my sister, no move that i'll make without you, obungbe, ebungbe, when owen

b. mayhaps setraps will clap with me one day, and play amusement with a tent
with them all gone and even till the day, we'll hear the rolling of the stars

chorus: i see a vision beyond all of sight, speaking softly, he cuddles our lives,
surrounding all in all things even me, and those were the wods that did comfort our minds,
somebody take me away from myself, i'm content master your will must be done,
let your wil be done, let your will be done,

Ok Then Tell me My Old Nairaland ID? ASAP!

ha, you just open your eye allow iice turn you mumu . are you supposed to be defending your innocence already when you ain't even supposed to be threatened by the accusation?

people gathered at a lying in state, some are overcome with grief, those might probably be close relatives of the deceased. others most of whom are friends and acquintances are also among the crowd with varied emotions. amongst these lot are both adherents of various faith based beliefs all with their own interpretations and understanding of the vagaries of life that would ultimately end at death.

how does one explain a young man, bustling with life and excelling in the eyes of the world in his journey through these times, and suddenly, his life is taken away from him leaving everyone dumbfounded. could it be that the folk that took his life believed that they were silencing him forever and then nothing would happen? that a death was the ultimate solution? this guy had a family and his kid wants to know why she can't see her daddy. the deceased faith belief system is irrelevant here neither is that of the kid. only a widow will know what the untimely removal of her strong support does to the psyche, but there is a justice somewhere and a correction of that great rupture of the equilibrium of the balance existence is bound to occur irrespective of the actions of man as he exists today. . .

muki babaaay, laydeee make i first tintillate you small , see just temper mercy with chivalry this time okay. if the guy is reasonable and have a conscience i think he's going to reform. he probably might be a little extra on the pride side (it's not such a bad thing sometimes). at least we all go dey see if him still they misconstitute after this let off

^{you're a good girl no matter what some people may think}

some folk are just incorrigible, if you feel you're indispensable to the site then i guess you could have chosen to have it your way then and do the needful. but so far as you're still posting, if dem tell you say you dey go beyond the boundaries why don't you just take correction. all these bickering, e no dey taya person?

^{an attempt at explaining the reason behind the sojournings into the internal recesses of my mind, it's not a bad idea if you attempt such (away from the babel and cacomphony of contemporary doctrines). I do not want you to agree with these opinions, but have an arguement with yourself and reach your own understanding of the entire purpose and reason for the existence of mankind on this earth of all the places that abound in the known universe:}

for those not here with us to see these times, for those who lie beneath the sands and for those whose breadth would live to flow the climes and grow till the day be dawn. who fill gehenna, as it is today. . .

hello good people, this is ajadrage along with the straight street 13 brethren and this is what we have been up to. it's sort of like an experimental preview anyways, but i guess i wouldn't mind some constructive criticisms. we try to define our music as "alternative", it has some strong influence from folk underlined by a rock mentality and of course the lyrics are inspired by leanings towards spirituality which is what the entire essence is all about. so, here it is, it's titled "internal recesses of the mind" and you could listen to it on myspace. please, just follow the link below. happy listening. . .
