By this statement, Gowon's prayers are only a lip service.

gboss4sure: Am seeing the result of how well you meant by trading bakassi and killing millions of innocent children. I would have said may thunda fire your mouth but Let God Judge You.

You are one of the reason Nigeria is at where it is today. #AlwaysGoingBackwards

Gowon is not just one of the reasons , he is the reason.

Guys have to think of what Achebe is saying. By the time the 1st preaching was done in Badagry, no single Igbo man in Igbo land had heard of any other religion other than their traditional ones. Today Igbos rock shoulders with the Yoruba in christianity. By the time Yourubas went to schools as Furabey college, no single Igbo man in Igbo land has know how to read and write. Today the igbo are neck to neck with the Yoruba in education. You must ask how they did it. This what Achebe is saying.

Relief agencies dont pay landing fees. landing fees are paid by the airlines contracted to fly in the relief. They abinitio calculate these as cost to the agencies. This is done all over the world. In Haiti during the last earthquake crisis, airlines paid landing fees. See below.

Relief Pilot Recounts Time at Haiti's Airport
BY GEORGE MILLER — MARCH 4, 2010
On Monday, March 1, I flew my second relief flight from St. Thomas to Port-au-Prince, Haiti … this time carrying Dr. Leah Coffman (an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in post-op stump care and prosthetic fittings for amputees), a nurse, and an administrator, as well as 190 pounds of medical equipment, and my awesome young co-pilot Henley "Joey" Joseph.
We took off from St. Thomas at 8:20 a.m. and landed in Port-au-Prince exactly three hours later (headwinds).
After parking, we unloaded our passengers, medical equipment and supplies, found our returning passenger, paid our landing fees, filed our paperwork (flight plan & general declarations) all within a half an hour.
Then the wait began … waiting for fuel for our return trip home. We waited another 90 minutes for the avgas fuel truck to arrive with the explanation that it had run out of avgas and had to reload. By coincidence, we arrived just as it had run out.
Another coincidence was that we arrived on the first day since the earthquake that Haitians began operating their airport instead of the U.S. Air Force (although strangely enough, the voice on the ground control frequency had a very thick British accent … delightful chap, most helpful indeed).
I saw cracks in the walls of the terminal building where the control tower is located, but the structure was otherwise intact, and no part of it had collapsed. We had to go up to the second floor to file our paperwork, and pay our landing fees. A shiny escalator and an adjacent staircase connected the ground floor to the second floor of the terminal, but strangely, the escalator operated in descending mode so you had to climb the stairs to file paperwork, pay your fees, and then ride the escalator back down.
To our surprise, shock, and chagrin, we were charged $154 for landing fees (they called them Air Navigation Approach fees and Airport fees).
The escalator anomaly, the exorbitant landing fees, and the fact that (since my previous relief flight to Port au Prince on Jan. 23) the price of avgas had risen from $6.60 to $7.20 per gallon made me contemplate the comment of a Haitian airport employee who said: "Yes, as of today, things are getting back to normal."
Finally after two hours on the ground we were able to take off back to St. Thomas.
As usual, the Baron performed perfectly ... a great little airplane!

How many times have the police taken armed robbers to court for prosecution. The police either kill them on the scene or take them to their barracks and kill them there. So how could such police force prevent a mob from killing supposed armed robbers. What I believe happened is that the police urged the mob to kill the boys as they usually do themselves.

Funny DSTV decoder is set for PAL 1 and PAL G only. You can't change it to NTSC. Why?

What is disappointing about an issue her father admitted to while alife?

Danka7777: I never said "going to war" and will never say such a thing. Please don't forcefully put words in my mouth or say what I didn't say.

Then what is your issue with Ojukwu and war.

Danka7777: I can say emphatically that Ikemba Ojukwu was not a responsible man. 90% of Nairalanders will align with me on this. He may had be educated but not sensible, rational and responsible. What sensible and rational man would marry a woman capable of being his grand daughter? What responsible man will abandon his wives, destroy a beautiful family just for the taste of a younger flower? I am being reasonable with my comment as they are factual and verifiable.

Who was Ojukwu's wife before Bianca. When did she leave Ojukwu? Answer these questions.

Danka777 and Omosexy1,
We are waiting for your thread on the war. Let's see if you have new facts other than those we have seen here and in other fora and other sites.
However, before then, you may need to define what you mean by "going to war". thanks.

So many secretaries will not live long. They stay long on the computer screens.

mapet: I beg to disagree with this (although it is outside the crux of the issue at hand). I'm not aware of any scripture that stipulated that tithes MUST be paid to where an individual worships.

Be that as it may, these churches will have to refund the moneies, once it is directed by the courts, or refund it to Atuche, until he clears his name.....

What of donations to other bodies and to his concubines?

m.k.o2005:
If he is telling that he paid tithe to some churches and not to his parish church of assumption,it's possible either gave donations to those churches or he paid tithe also in his parish church of assumption or it could just be that he is telling lies generally concerning the tithe thing cos he knows getting back such money won't be possible.

My brother you may not have read the article. The prosecution is alleging that from their investigations he paid certain amounts to these churches and the prosecution called it tithes. Now it is very known that he worships at Falomo.

So he refused to pay tithe in CHURCH OF ASSUMPTION FALOMO but sent his tithe to some obscure churches in delta state. Is EFCC really correct.

Naming names. It is either OBJ or Murtala. I mention Murtala because he refused to accept Equatorial Guinea when they applied to be merged with Nigeria.

What is the meaning of next available opportunity? I hear some guys take year one courses final year. NUC should be clear on this.

Rivers money is for Rivers people. Who is Rivigo. Did Odili or Omehia check very well before awarding that contract?

Who supervised that construction?

Why didn't they ask her to pay?

Imo state under Mbakwe once fixed it at 60NGN. Is this what they want to reduce?

I think there was a brow and the man picked his gun so the woman ran out. End of story.

If she knew we all were watching then she was also playing a game. Forget what she says in FM or Wazobia about being herself.

Microsoft did themselves in. Vista was a failure. Word 2007 is very unpopular and explorer is no no.Instead of building on available features, their new versions became very difficult to understand and operate. Many people today still use word 2003 instead of the new version 007. Explorer is very slow and you can easily lose your write in online fora like Nairaland. So we go to firefox.

Where will these penalties be paid. In court after conviction or on the road before prosecution?

Happy birthday to you Ree Ree. Our actress in the house. Many more returns to you.

Delafruita,
If the judge was to award the 2 billion, where would he have found the victim to claim the money. Do you think the lawyer would have claimed the money on her behalf? You don't seek for such judgments for absentee victims. No judge will grant such a prayer.
