Du!mb a&& criminal, i wonder who advised you to run away from Nigeria, the land of lawlessness and absurdity where criminals like you are above the law and infact celebrated. If you hadn't run, you would have probably been in the senate (where other criminals like you retire to). If you had been better enlightened, you would have understood the extradition agreement between UAE and Britain. But it's the spirit of millions of people you have impoverished that led you to your waterloo. I honestly don't wish you come out of this alive...barawo bansa!

Talents that would have been wasted were they raised in Nigeria.

Now another round of madness has begun. Oh God, pls don't watch this hopeless country like this.
GEJ, even though you can contest constitutionally, but do you really qualify by your record of stewardship?

Give me a break, you all talking about Tuface being the only artiste that can make it outside Nigeria, what is the basis of your assumption? To me, any of them that sings only in English cannot compete with any other artiste in US or UK period, except he/she grew up abroad. I'm not saying they aren't as talented as their couterpart here but the language/accent barrier will remain the stumbling block. But any artiste that incorporate our local languages with English stand a chance. Why do you think westerners listen to Fela, Sunny Ade, Mariam Makeba, Awilo, Femi e.t.c I heard African queen played on one of the African/American radio channel in Houston (102.5)on my way to work the other day. Immediately after the song at least 2 listeners called in to inquire what tha blank the singer was saying. I'm a fan of Tuface but he's got to be more creative.

How has the "pure water" number of churches and mosques affected our lives as Nigerian?, we are the most corrupt, unfaithful, deceitful, untrustworthy and hypocritical set of human being in the world. If any religious organization is built in a wrong place, let it be demolished. Have your freedom of religion without disturbing the society. What's the point having churches and mosques on every street? if the intention is not to make money and we are praying to the same God, then let's do it together in a common place of worship. Nigerians have started this nonsense here in Houston, they rent shops meant for business and use it as church, redeem and winners chapel are at the forefront, but i know it's a matter of time before some group complains and some law will be in place to stop the craziness.

I'm sure Nigeria will hold the world record for the greatest number of d/umb, educated illiterate. I still don't understand what y'all enjoy from ethnic bigotry. Keep on the internet war while less than 1% of the population steal your collective wealth. Can one Bayelsan tell me how GEJ's presidency has improved his condition? yet you waste your time struggling to even type and construct grammar for your unintelligent comment.

The players no go school? read the fine prints before you sign anything!

"Wanking" is not a sin? really?
But guys, refrain from being dogmatic, nobody is yet to show where in the bible that it specifically says it's a sin.

How come negativity is just ingrained in some Nairalanders? seriously, if nothing is good enough for you, it'll affect everything in your life.
9ice is a young talented artiste, he stuck to his style and have since been successful. He is not one of those fake Nigerian artistes that release local version of US artistes's songs. So what if he decides to go into politics? are those illiterate opportunistic looters in politics better than him? Y'all need to stop hating!
He's studying law,, you have problem with it, remember you complained that he's not a graduate!
He's in the middle of an online PA degree,, you complain of why an online degree!
Yes, he has challenges with his marriage, is that abnormal? He has answered you guys on the track "enife" on the "Bashorun Gaa" album.
Ride on adigun alapomeji!

Check out the list "Edwin Clark, Dr. Dosumu Awolowo, Felix Ibru, Oladipo Diya, Olu Falae, Tunde Akogu, Alabo Graham-Douglas, Mike Okiro, Femi Okunronmu, Gbonigi, Ebenezer Babatope, and Gen. Tony Etukudo amongst others."

Who among these people shouldn't be hanged for their contribution one way or the other to the mess Nigeria is in?

Nigeria is hopeless if we keep recycling these set of people.

The population of HATERS on NL keep increasing by day. The i.d.i.o.t that put this on the front page is who i blame.

I see this nonsense in few igbo movies i've seen in the past, so it's true!
All of these villages have Representatives and senators i believe, why can't one of them sponsor a bill to outlaw this discrimination?
We are still backward in Nigeria.

Can any of you morons tell me one single panel of inquiry that has accused Gen. Buhari of looting? NON!
The truth is, we will all live to regret not letting this honest man rule us.

Here is the role of CBN as spelt out in the constitution:
Section 2 of the CBN Act, which stipulates that the principal objectives of the Bank shall be to:

“a.    ensure monetary and price stability;
b.     issue legal tender currency in Nigeria
c.     maintain external reserves to safeguard the international value of the legal tender currency;
d.     promote a sound financial system in Nigeria; and
e.     act as banker and provide economic and financial advice to the Federal Government.”

It does not include philantropy, can these public officials obey the freaking LAW!

Central Bank has usurped the functions of the National Emergency Management Agency(NEMA) by providing financial assistance to victims of disasters. For the avoidance of doubt section 6 of the NEMA Act has conferred powers on the Agency to:

“g.    co-ordinate the activities of all voluntary organizations engaged in emergency relief operations in any part of the Federation;

h.               receive financial and technical aid from international organizations and non-governmental agencies for the purpose of disaster management in Nigeria.

i.                  Collect emergency relief supply from local and foreign sources and from international and non-governmental agencies.

j.      Distribute emergency relief materials to victims of natural or other disasters and assist in the rehabilitation of the victims where necessary.

Boring!!!

Did their teachers pass it?

Nigerians will forever regret denying General Buhari the opportunity to stamp out corruption in our polity.
If only we looked beyond religious and ethnic sentiments, we would have been in a better situation.
What a shame!

nagoma:
Wole Soyinka's achievements are over rated , please allow the guy to fade away in peace.

At least he has one that is over rated, wetin be your own achievement?

Dele: S.T.F.U, you think we all forget when you go around taking picture of looters(IBB,Abacha, AbdulSalami e.t.c) and their family in your overrated piece of junk called ovation? You'll pass for an "ashawo", abegiiii, make i hear word. We know you roll with the set of people that wrecked this country. I don't understand your kind of activism? Exile to London my foot, wasn't it because of your personal relationship to the Abiolas?

Abati: Na chop chop make you dey talk with the other side of your mouth, i can understand. You are simply doing your job as a spokesperson,, but my issue with you is when you misrepresent the obvious fact. What you fail to understand is that your oga's reign will come to an end soon and you'll be left with your soiled credibility. For every gibberish you utter i can present your articles from my archive that directly counter it.

Both of you should keep the cat fight, it surely is good comedy.

I gladly do it everyday! when the Mom is busy or deserves some rest.
Good to know that Nigerian men are changing for the better!
In the past if you do that and your family or friends witnesses it, then it is assumed that your wife has "jazzed" you.

Good job by the poster!
Get peeps at home informed on beneficial stuffs, not some tribal, religious, ethnic, divisive gibberish topics some NLers post that the so-called moderator(Seun) put on the front page.
Get a good value for the investment on your internet service.

, hmmmn! you mean defending your source of loot?

Well, Americans can't come to terms with running around for 90 minutes in soccer and scoring few goals or ending the match a scored or goalless draw!, lol

American football is awesome too, if you understand the game. But it still can compete with my love for soccer.

It really was hilarious yesterday at the Super bowl (Naija) party i attended, some of the guys not into American football simply named the Patriots, Chelsea and the Giants, Man. U. and we created fun around it.

The real question is, are those guys at the airport licensed to operate BDC? who regulates them? why would they risk having $600,000 cash at hand in a zero security environment like that? They should be arrested for encouraging "armed robbery", robbers will definitely don't come around if they know you don't have good money at your disposal.

Great, i'll tell you where to get the money from. Arrest OBJ, IBB, Abdulsalami, each one of these guys can refund that money of the ill gotten loot of the federation account and they'll still have more. If other ministries need money just arrest the following:
Atiku, All previous Senate presidents, Speaker, Governors, Ministers e.t.c
walahi, Nigeria will be rich back quick quick.

@frosbel
First of all, there is no such thing as old testament or old version of the Quran, the quran will always be in its pristine state, despite attempts to distort it. Such versions abounds on the internet, but all the ploy were duly identified.
It's amazing the way you (or the distorted version of quran you are reading) have substituted and distorted some of the verses to make your points. Some of the verses with the word "struggle" have been substituted with "fight" to say the least. Jihad means STRUGGLE not war. Using one of your quotes as an example Q 2:244 "Then fight in the cause of Allah, and know that Allah Heareth and knoweth all things." So, you assume this means fighting physically? The preceeding verse is 2:243 "Mohammed, consider the thousands who left their homes for fear of death", why did they leave their homes? because of the unbelievers' aggression and attacks. The next verse is 2:245 "One who generously lends to God will be paid back in many multiples of the loan. It is God who reduces and expands things and to Him you will all return", this clearly tells you that "fight " in this context doesn't mean physically fighting.
Another correction, Holy prophet Muhammed (pbuh) is a Meccan, he was chased out of Mecca to Medina by unbelievers amidst violent attacks and incessant aggressions. He came back (Hijrah) with lots of islam converts, and by the mere sound of the feet of the humongous muslim crowd coming on their way back, the unbelievers flee. If only you take time to read the preceeding verses that clearly points to the fact that the unbelievers were the aggressors and all of the wars fought by the holy prophet were in self defense of the muslims.
You also mentioned that "fitna" mean disbelief, or the disorder that results from unbelief or temptation. what arabic are you interpreting? fitna means disorder, period!
Did the novel you read have the part of the quran that says "there is no compulsion in religion"?, does it have the part that says "killing an innoccent soul is tantamount to killing the whole human race and saving one is same as saving the whole human race"?
Choose whatever you want to believe but there are only 2 types of human in this world, good and bad people it ain't nothing about religion. The violence and atrocities committed in the name of christianity in the world is unquantifiable, but doesn't enjoy media attention. I also advise you not to condemn other religions because you are ignorant of it or you decides to believe what is false about it. All of our public servants are either christians or muslims, look at where we are in Nigeria.

One wonders why these thugs aren't in jail!

Boko Haram and Islam by Disu Kamor

Since the criminal attacks of the dreaded cultist group (Boko Haram) on the nation started, certain salesmen of hate have been hawking their credo: Islam is violent; religion in general produces extremists; religion is dangerous, and so on, to the public. One of such persons is Leo Igwe, an ardent Islamophobe whose schizophrenic ranting was published in the Guardian newspaper of 29 January, 2012 under the title "Boko Haram and the Threat of Political Islam". Leo Igwe stated in his letter to the editor that "Nigerians must begin to acknowledge the jihadist agenda of Boko Haram and try to find out how the teachings of Islam particularly as contained in the Koran or the Hadith were propagated or twisted to breed this terrible monster." He further states that "Boko Haram is the Nigerian version of al Qaeda. The militants are not bombing police stations, UN building and churches for the sake of it. They are not agitating for sharia law for the fun of it. The Boko Haram militants are fighting a holy war. They are prosecuting a jihad for which they expect to be rewarded abundantly in the hereafter with some virgins. That is why the group has not run out of suicide bombers. That is why they have their operational base in the muslim majority states."This is obviously a clever ploy to inject the poisonous myth of a blood-thirsty Islam that inspires its adherent to commit indiscriminate acts of violence into the hearts and minds of the reading public. Yet the author failed miserably to provide a single reference from the Quran or the Hadiths to support his absurd position. For clarity sake, God forbids the killing of ANY innocent person in the Qur’an, and to violently damage any building is wrong. That respected places of worship, faith and spirituality were attacked by Boko Haram during a time of religious festivity makes the crime even more heinous. Also Islam commands Muslims to revere Jesus Christ and his mother (AS). We believe in his miraculous birth, his miracles and the stories of and about Jesus Christ (AS) in the Islamic tradition are probably much larger than the entire New Testament. Also, an entire Quranic chapter is named after Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ (AS), as God proclaims her to be the best woman amongst all humanity, whom He chose above all other women due to her piety and devotion (Qur’an 3:42-43), and an example to follow (Qur’an 66:12). For the Muslims therefore, Judaism, Christianity and Islam are but three forms of one religion, which, in its original purity, was the religion of Abraham (AS). It is simply easy to see that the author wrote in a bad taste not to expose our common threat, but to mischaracterize Islam in a way that de-humanizes Muslims. I readily accept that there are bad eggs within the Islamic community. In fact, it is possible to find them in almost all walks of life. Sadly, people who commit evil in the name of Islam, or as Muslims, engage in unethical and immoral actions, may be our neighbours or co-workers; but so are evil, unethical and immoral people present in every religion, nationality, race or ideology. Such people are on every street and all professions. It is therefore a human, rather than a religious thing. Anyone who disputes this has simply failed to take important lessons from history. Lenin, Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot, who collectively killed well over fifty million people, and the movements they led were all atheists like Leo Igwe himself. Similarly, the intellectual foundations of fascist thought have very little to do with traditional religion, while owing much to secular or outright atheist philosophers. Mr Igwe’s Panglossian summary of the Boko Haram saga and what he calls political Islam is therefore antithetical to the self-evident facts: that vast majority of Muslims live peacefully with their neighbours; they respect the law and make important contributions to our daily life and national security. The sickening claim of the lure of an abundant reward of some virgins in the hereafter as the motivating factor, or one of the factors, of terrorist attacks runs in direct opposition to what the author himself states in the opening statement of his second paragraph where he writes “The Spokesperson of Boko Haram, Abdul Qaqa, told journalists that they carried out the attacks on the city because the authorities had refused to release their members arrested and detained by the police.” If the group’s spokesperson made such an unequivocal declaration of their motive, and unless the author knows more about the group than he admits, he should simply allow the group to speak for itself. When we look at the highest authority in Islam, the Quran, we find nothing in it endorsing rewards for indiscriminate killing or killing of innocent people. Instead we find the strongest condemnation with severe punishments for those who engage in such actions. When we look at Hadith, which after the Quran is second in authority in Islam, we find nothing endorsing terrorism either. Instead we find strong condemnation for it. About the “72 virgins”, searching what Muslims refer to as Gharib Hadith (weak or strange Hadiths) we do find something about 72 wives but not virgins. Sunan al-Tirmidhi Hadith 2562 says: The Prophet Muhammad was heard saying: "The smallest reward for the people of Paradise is an abode where there are 80,000 servants and 72 wives, over which stands a dome decorated with pearls, aquamarine, and ruby, as wide as the distance from Al-Jabiyyah [a Damascus suburb] to Sana'a [Yemen]" According to the opinion of Muslim experts on the science of Hadith, this is a weak Hadith that has no line or sequence of narration. Although listed in an authoritative collection, this particular Hadith has technical weaknesses in its chain of transmitters and is therefore not considered impeccable. There are many Hadiths so declared and by the collective opinion of our jurists, such Hadiths must not be used to formulate binding legal judgments. As a result, Muslims are not required to believe in it. Even if the Hadith was true, there is nothing about it that says if someone commits acts of violence or terrorism “they expect to be rewarded abundantly in the hereafter with some virgins” when clearly the Qur’an and hadiths condemn such sinful actions. Muslims know that the description of paradise or heaven in Hadiths and Quran is allegorical. If not, then Allah would have allowed us to take our bodies with us when we die. But the vehicle by which we could enjoy the physical things (especially 72 virgins ) mentioned as being in heaven, is left behind here in this world to rot and decay away. So we know for a fact that for heavenly rewards, physical things of this world are used to describe things totally non-physical. The Quran and authentic Hadiths let us know that anyone that makes it to paradise will be given palaces to live in, and clothing fit for royalty, with luxurious couches, thrones for everyone amongst other grandiose things. There will be rivers of the purest water, milk, wine, and honey, all of which are better than any you will find on earth. However, those who get to the highest part of Paradise, Jannah al-Firdaus, will also be able to see Allah with their own eyes. This greatest reward, rather than the promise of a sensual pleasure in the hereafter- to be in the presence of our Lord and to see His Face is the prayer of all Muslims.Islam is more than 1400 years old and historians, Muslims and others have recorded the great achievements of Muslims over the centuries and the hope that Islam eternally represents for humanity due to the sublime virtues the religion calls to. The murder of an innocent human being anywhere is condemnable and inexcusable, regardless of that individual’s race, religion, national origin, gender or social class. This is not a lesson that must be reiterated only by the Imams but also by the Church, the secularists, the atheists, everyone. The start point for this is to accept that the evil activities of the Boko Haram group affect all Nigerians equally and particularly as Muslims, we feel ashamed of their actions. Muslims are horrified at the image of a group from amongst them, organized as the wolf-pack, inflamed by the spirit of anarchy and destruction, killing, maiming the innocent and forcing ordinary Nigerians to live in fear of dear life. This is because Islam being a highly ethical religion rejects such anarchy and mischief. Islam commands Muslims to have a deep respect for all human life and to ensure peaceful-co-existence. This is why Islam was able to co-exist peacefully with Christianity in the Middle East since the time of prophet Muhammad (AS), a fact that becomes evident when one considers the fact that the Middle Eastern Christian community is a historical community, rather than a community of converts. The presence of this community since the time of Jesus Christ (AS) and its thriving under many Islamic rulers bear eloquent testimony to how important Islam considers freedom of worship and peaceful co-existence. In Nigeria, Muslim and Christians have lived for decades in relative peace and will continue to do so after the current tragedy is ended. Of course there had been tensed times and mutual violence directed against both communities, but the judgmental flaw of the author and people like him who cherry-picks events to promote Islamophobic agenda will only make them a laughing stock before those who have studied divine scriptures and history. This is because adhering to the elementary requirement of objective evaluation of historical facts is what separates honest critics from ordinary rag-heads. Mr Igwe’s letter and other caricatures like it only shows that serious discourse on critical national issues must not be left in the hands of mere shenanigans.Finally it is most important to acknowledge that many Christian and Muslim leaders have spoken and acted courageously during this moment of intense pressure and crisis. Their words and actions are renewed sources of inspiration and encouragement to those of us who believe in harmony, peaceful co-existence and shared destiny. It is worth reiterating that the entire Nigerian Muslim community stands full square with the Nigerian Christians in revulsion and horror at attacks directed against them and their places of worship. We sincerely feel your pains and share the sorrow of the victims of those attacks. We will continue to stand with you to repel the evil of sectarianism and extremism which are blights on divine religions. This is a difficult time for all Nigerians and only divine religions are capable of sustaining our collective strength as we confront and defeat the ills we face together.The evil actions of the Boko Haram group affect all Nigerians and their false claim to piety and self-righteousness are ordinary veneer for their evil ambitions and actions. Anyone aspiring to establish a “Shariah state” must start by establishing a “Shariah state of mind”. Muslims have been victims of their terrorist attacks as anyone else; as terrorist attacks are indiscriminate. In the same edition of the Guardian newspaper, the spokesman of Boko Haram is reported to have threatened His Eminence, Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar III, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Alhaji Aminu Tambuwal, and the Governor of Sokoto State. All those mentioned in this latest threat are Muslims, and so are majority of those killed in the Kano attacks. Muslims suffer directly from the terrorist group when they attack as well as reprisal attacks due to their evil actions. Yet, in all of these we have risen up in one single voice of total condemnation because our God, as taught to us in the Qur’an and through the examples of prophet Muhammad (AS) commands us to respect the sanctity of ALL human lives (Qur’an 4:29, 6:151, 17:33) and that He, God Almighty, is the “King of mankind, God of mankind” (Qur’an 114: 2-3). The Boko Haram group does not speak or act for Islam or the Muslims. We reject their rhetoric, we oppose their violent methodology, we pray that the wind of time blows them away as quickly as other extremist groups before them, and we remain very proud of the religion which God has blessed us with.

agog:
Asari is a fool with dead brain, no wonder he dey practice Islam.
His fellow faithfuls (boko harams) are killing his kinsmen in d North by d day, and he's saying robish here.
A competent court tried and found the accused quilty and Asari is here saying sh**t  

Niger-Delta man wey dey do Islam, no be fool him be?

@Agog, you seriously think you are any more intelligent than Dokubo, with the statement you spoofed out? So Islam is a bad religion in your opinion because you ignorantly believe the activities of some political thugs veiled as muslims? Dude,, you are as dumb as Asari Dokubo.

Since when did Govt. activities become secret? and some people are out there blaming SR for asking for information we're entitled to. If SR is lying, the govt. should prove it!
Honestly, people should think before hitting the keyboard. Even 32 aides is freaking too much for the president, what will they do for him? bathe him? clean his behind after shyte? feed him? get him out of bed?, walk him to the conference?
Think guys, has supporting GEJ for everything he does because he is from your ethnic group helped you in anyway, aside from the peanut some of you must have been paid?
Jeez!!! Y'all keep dampening my hope for this joke called Nigeria.

That is the first part of the movie.
The second part is for GEJ to grant him presidential pardon to win some Northern support and probably calm down BH. He'll then be initiated into team GEJ.
Nigeria, the most entertaining country of the world!!!

Well, the issue is not whether Sowore will speak with other side of his mouth or not if in R. Abati's shoe, but for the GEJ administration to be transparent. You don't make life more difficult for people by increasing a major commodity by 117% claiming the country is broke while you waste money like that. While i agree that some of SR's reports aren't professional but so far it is still the medium that exposes a lot of stuffs about Govt.'s maladministrations and profligacy. Does anybody remember SR activities during the passing away of Yar'adua that some cabals & Turai were hell bent on not relinquishing power to GEJ, the then Vice president? Now the heat is on him and y'all are criticizing SR.
I think R. Abati should release the list of aides to Addis Ababa afterall it's tax payers money.
