a beg leave jonathan

could they have spoken to OBJ , BUHARI OR IBB like this

Nigerians give jonathan your support, he is already our president and there is nothing we can do about it

if u all want a better country, better start giving him ur support

i think this topic is over

people leave ojukwu so he can rest

he is old and he is someones father

let him rest, he deserves it

The question is why would anyone want to claim them?

funny question but i would answer your question in simple terms
1. igbos don't want to be landlocked, and by claiming the costal ikwerri in rivers state, they would have access to ocean

2. by claiming groups, it is easy to colonise them

3. extenting there territory

4. they want to enslave minorities like efik,ijaw etc

5. oil in ND they want to claim it

6. igbos have the ideology that SS was part of there empire ,.,. lol comical as u can see in biafra case

7. the same can be said about ijaws claiming ikwerri and co

i believe the minorites have the right to chose by themselves and no self imposition

i am a minority as well in yoruba term (awori) but my people have chosen yoruba even after ijaws are claiming us

and i beleive that is how it should be done. if a group says no then it is no

also the my kanuri people have associated themselves with the wider north and it is by choice and not claim

ngwa has well have done the same to igbo

so life is by choice and it should not be forced

tuyota:
It's so sad to see that there are many bigoted people in Nigeria, including many highly educated folks on nairaland. I promise you that even if you make every state a country, many of you will still want your clan to produce the president. And if your clan is a country, your family must produce the president at all costs and so on. That's how low we have gone, a nation of highly educated bigots.

Apologies to all non bigots here.

no i see no bigotry here at all

ijaws do not want to be claimed

and ikwerri does not want to be called igbo

i see nothing wrong in this groups fighting for their rights

[quote author=alex_101 link=topic=708744.msg8674184#msg8674184 date=1310088300]Okonjo-Iweala who revealed this in an interview with the Financial Times of London, said she responded to the threat calls by saying: “But I cannot give up on Nigeria

Hmmm! *Sigh* 
Ndigbo, are we too dum.b to realize that dungeon called nigeria is already a sunk ship? What is with this steewpid woman saying she cannot "give up on nigeria-a devil's paradise"? Is she trying to become another "Zik of africa", the greatest efulefu ever to come out Igbo land. Nna men, ihe nka gwuru mu ike ebe ndibayi o.
Well, if her wish is to die for the nigerian dungeon, then let it be. If she like, make she no loot like everybody else, nonesense! .

u are the greatest ideeiot i have ever meant, really that is the truth

what are u balbbing about here, total rubbish

love it or hate it, that woman is great[/quote]

So it's bad for  a Christian to be weary of Islamic ban,  but somehow acceptable for someone to kill in the name of religion so  long as they are uneducated. Simply put, hide under the umbrella of uneducated to unleash violence on innocent people .

What's missing in this whole argument is the CIVILITY of Christian opponents who have neither killed  anyone  nor burnt any houses  because their concerns are not addressed by CBN. Could this have been the case if it were Muslims whose opinions are not being considered?

Talk about USA,  most Americans opposed a mosque being built  near Ground Zero- NYC.

you see my brother, i love and respect the Christians

yes some people take it to extreme level and it is for Allah to jugbe them

seanet02:
The woman is overrated.

what!!!! did u just watch the video

i just hope she puts her brain to good use this time

okonjo iweala is very smart,

very clear and precise, God bless this woman

Anywaz, congrats jare.

I'm expecting a Nler like Alj harem to invent something scientific soon enough. I feel like he's the next Isaac Newton.[/quote]

BIGER BOY:
I believe this argument is been skewed the wrong way. @alh harem @all firstand foremost the CBN is not sponsoring any bank, it is only creating a regulatory frame work for the bank to operate. lets get that right, if the proposed bank fails to meet CBN requirement in any form it will have its licence revoked.

oh ok thanks

Gosh! [b]This lugard document will come in handy on the judgement day,[/b]i see the ijaw backing their stake on the city with moon light stories,told to them by their ogogoro drunk parents,hehehe!

lol judgement day ke"!!!

Depending on what the "islamic banking" is going to be,

A banking product to be [size=15pt]offered[/size] by all licensed banks in the nation  or a brand name for the policies of a a select group of bank,


Are you also Haka nai?

i am not haka nai

i would go with the bolded

and the word "offer" is the key

Mariory:
And since when have private banks been the same as public (Government owned) seaports? This is what you have to understand. Why should the CBN governor be promoting any private institution or organisation?

ok i actually see you point

if am correct people are angry because it is funded by CBN (Sanusi) and not the name Islamic bank, is that right?

then the president and minister of finance has every power to stop that if they do not support it but they are not saying anything

this are Christians by the way

@ slimtoney. Every Nigerian that is opposing Islamic banking has the right to their opinions because we have come to identify
islam with violence and hatred, d main reason why I got converted to Christianity. Anybody that has lost relative or properties
to the frequent religious crisis in the north will never agree to islamic banking. If d religious coloration been given to it is removed
and the principle of opreting the banks is purely secular, no problem. That Islam accomodates Christianity more than Christianity to islam
may not be correct. Looking at all the religious crisis in the north, what did the christians do wrong that let loose the demons of blood sucking
islam on innocent Nigerians or how do you justify the killings of the 10 NYSC members in the north recently? How accomodating is islam. If you claim
razor sharp utterances, where is the tolerance and accomodation in islam. Even you as a muslim, you are not save in the north when they start their madness.
I lost my uncle, an Alhaji, a devout muslim to one of those islamic riots in the north, so what are we saying?

sorry to hear that

where is the link

Mariory:
Clearly I'm wasting my time here with you. So let the Ministry of Aviation promote a particular airline to help that branch of air travel grow right?

that is not even a good example or anonlogy to use at all

why not say this

the minitry of works have built a seaport in the SE to promote trade in that branch of the country. that is better

and i believe this is done, isn't it

[quote author=tpia@ link=topic=708609.msg8673209#msg8673209 date=1310073362]they would die because the name "christian" is explicitly attached to the specific institution, and the perpetrators would feel another religion [which they despise] is being imposed on them.[/quote]i agree that some elements in the north would want to do this thus the elites

and that is why we northerners are fighting against them

that is why we try to be reasonable with people

education is the problem

[quote author=tpia@ link=topic=708609.msg8673185#msg8673185 date=1310073192]and @ topic

yes, nigeria is a bigoted country.[/quote]ok i like ur honesty

if so, then why are we bigoted, should we not try to be more accomodiating and tolerating

Mariory:
"The FSA's policy towards Islamic banks, and indeed any new or innovative [size=14pt]financial services company[/size], can be summed up simply as "[size=14pt]no obstacles, no special favours[/size]". We are keen to promote [size=14pt]a level playing field between conventional and Islamic providers[/size]. One thing we are clear about is that we are a financial, not a religious, regulator."

and his Sanusi own religious and what prove

asi aid earlier, CBN needs to do this to help this branch of the banking sector grow
