 Politics › Re: Nine PDP Governors. Float New Party, Apply For Registration. by Anvaller: 12:42pm On Aug 15, 2013 |
lavivifubs: Wait a minute! Let us, the voters, ponder and ask these people who are parading themselves as politicians. Do not get me wrong, I am not referring to just members of the PDP, APC, PPM or others. I am referring to every person who claims to belong to a Political Party. WHAT IS THE POITICAL IDEOLOGY THAT IS MAKING THEM WORK TOGETHER? Why is it that some so called politians have traversed several political parties, all in a bid to get into elective positions or eat from the table of politicians? Do these people know that what makes a polical party different from other groups, apart from winning elections, is to have same political ideology? What is the politcal ideology of the PDP? What is the political ideology of the APC? What is the political ideology of the PPM? In the US, people stick to particular political parties because of their ideologies. That is why you can say "This is a Republican" or "This is a Democrat". What will I call a person in PDP, APC or PPM? Then what will I call a person that has moved from one party to the other?The most rational comment here. Majority are wasting their time rejoicing on the death of this and that party instead of us to start debating on fundamental issues facing us as a ppl... Are we stupid in this country  How relevant is it exactly if PDP is going to die at this level? when even if that happens, those that will remain standing will still be core elements from PDP? I am surprised that some folks are already throwing permutations on possibility of APC merger with PPM, so what exactly do u want Does that mean that all PDP itself needs to do before 2015 is simply rebrand themselves with a new name and do a little exchange of politicians from here and there and problem is solved?? is that what u all are saying?? Is new parties and recyling the same old known thieves with new name actually the problem in Nigeria? Or new ideologies, new ppl and different approach to doing things across board?As much as OBJ was castigated for his recent comments that Nigeria is cursed, he as a lot of valid points. Bad follower-ship is our problem just as much as bad leadership. What I am seeing here on Nairaland is a shocking revelation of that fact. We are bad followers cos we are more interested in the political game and maneuvering of our politicians, which benefits the politicians and not you and you. Instead, we should be discussing about stuffs that benefits us as common ordinary ppl. 1 Like |

@OP Try to explore other options but if that is sincerely and honestly ur last and only option, why not? U need to survive and succeed at the same time. Some of successful ppl that are praised in our society today might have also gone thru some hard times in the past that made them do some stuffs just to cross the hurdle. As far as I am concerned, I love it when ppl keep clean record but I wouldn't judge you if u are not able to due to inevitable circumstances. At least it is not as bad as the popular equivalent in the States, stripping to pay tuition, or prost1tuting, never do those. |

Too bad, this is reality in Nigeria, most especially public pry. school teachers are overwhelmingly incompetent. I used to know a pry school teacher whose English was very bad. I think she would perform even worse than this woman if put to similar test. And there are many of them, we don't need to deceive ourselves, we need to get serious and fix things. P.S Why were those stup1d politicians laughing that hysterically at the shame that was on display? did they think it was funny? I respect the seriousness on Oshiomhole's face. Those guys including Obahiagbon were very unprofessional with that silly laughs. I would have asked them to shut the eff up if I was the governor. Well I don't think they really care, they just wanted to laugh and that's all. 1 Like |

The problem I have with majority comment here is that u are spending more time castigating OBJ and little or no time looking into the reality of his statement. I think the wise thing should have been to examine the truth and consequences of his statement and concentrate on that. He himself did not categorically state that he is not part of the curse. Why are we always not smart enough to place our priority right? If Tinubu told some truth... 4get that he steals, deal with the truth. If Atiku told some truth, forget that he steals and deal with the truth. By so doing, the truth they are telling will still come back to haunt them because truth is consistent but unfortunately, we are not.

THE AMAKA: Skyscrapers don't necessarily make a city great, but the major cities should have a type of skyline. As for the smaller towns, they can be of world class standard without having skylines per say.Even a major city can have skyline without necessarily having so tall buildings. The height of buildings in a downtown is not what actually makes it, It is what a city has to offer that makes it. Nebeuwa: Until I see skyscrapers that touch the heavens, then I am not impressed.Ur comment makes sense but the "skycraper" stuff came off kind of childish. Nigerian cities don't need skyscrapers really, just make the cities work, make it livable, construct infrastructures that make life easy. Provide security and automate ur businesses. That is what ppl are willing to see when they come to Nigeria, not skyscrapers... Skyscrapers can be a city's worst nightmare when things are not working. There are several examples but just check Detroit. Skyscrapers spontaneously evolve after a city's several years of uninterrupted fortune, it is not what u can just invoke. 3 Likes |

lupey: It sure is an ancient city,but the picture the op put up is like taking an aerial picture of the old oshodi and calling it Lagos!Don't mind that guy, he just picked pictures randomly on the internet. I know a couple of pictures on his collections and I have been seeing them online since way back. I have been seeing that Ibadan brown roof picture since around 2009 cos I remember that I used it in a presentation I did back then. If u want to make sense from this kind of thread, there has to be consistence e.g a picture of CBD or CBDs in each state, Or pictures of beautiful/Ugly spots from each states. U can't post pictures of slums from one state and a beautifully manicured garden in another. What sense does that make? 2 Likes |

Pastor Olu T: Jesus is ok, but don't add Christ which means anointed one for ur child ain't anointedContradictions as usual. So by ur explanation, ppl like Pastor Adeboye, Oyakhilome, Oyedepo etc are also "Christs"? because by their followers' admission, all these ppl are anointed. So by that logic, all Pastors should be "christs" too. Unless you will admit that pastors are not anointed which will then contradit the premise of their followers' beliefs. Or can anyone be a Pastor without being anointed? In fact Pastor Olu,since ur username suggests that u are a pastor, by your logic, you are also a christ aint u? If u however do not agree with me that u and the mentioned folks are christ, then ur above explanation is rubbish |

Ppl experience this across class, u don't have to be an Oprah to feel offended (most especially when u can actually afford it).

[quote author=m-ployer]I see no racism here. Oprah's appearance, conduct and probably skin colour may hav communicated "low class" . The attendant was only using her initiative, though she missed it. Nobody is hating on anyone. I guess she was just trying to save Oprah some embarrassment but ended up doing the opposite. Oprah is the racist here.[/quote]Well I am not writing off the possibility of the fact that Oprah might also have been making too much of what actually happened or the media making too much of it because of Oprah's personality. However, she has the right to express herself if she thought she was treated unfairly. Having said that, I have a problem with ur comment. So u don't see anything wrong if the salesperson treated her badly because she was black? What do u mean conduct? So u mean Oprah could have been there and started acting ratchet? What do u mean appearance? How strange does Oprah have to look for a sales person to use his/her initiative to conclude that she isn't worth the class of that shop? Who is this m-ployer?

Yea yea yea, bla bla bla, sure racism ain't right but all of u are talking against it now just as if majority of u aren't master perpetrators of discrimination, prejudice and stereotyping across tribes and class within ur own country. I am sure the sales girl would at least still be polite while she told oprah she couldnt buy it. Walk into an upscale shop casually in naija (as a Nigerian, not even a foreigner) and check how the salesgirl would treat u as if u are not even a human being. A guy on this thread talked about how a dutch jeweler told his friend that he couldn't afford it but at least u are allowed to come in and look, I doubt if u would even ever be allowed into a diamond store in naija if u are perceived as not looking high class enough to be able to pay for it.

I don't have a problem if they said child was born by a woman with no womb as long as they can further explain how the fetus developed? How did she give birth? natural birth, C.S, or did she vomit the child? All these can give a hint to where the fetus developed e.g: 1)If she vomitted the child, that means she may have had the fetus developed within the stomach walls (but then we would ask how was the fetus not digested through enzymatic reactions? well may be that's the miracle) 2) If it was C.S the fetus must have probably managed to grow at some corner in the large intestine (how then was the foetus not defecated? well, that might have been the miracle) 3) If it was natural birth then the fetus must have developed somewhere in the corner of the vag1nal wall (but wait a minute, how did the pastor manage not to crush the fetus' skull while he drills pastor mrs with his spiritual drill bit? well, there exactly must have been where the miracle was) Praise the Lord!!! 2 Likes |

U are selling a product that has never been sold or never existed. Why can't u guys think? The 1st T.V was not flat screen but because some ppl are not limited in there thinking, they went ahead and created a flat screen T.V. Though it is still a T.V but it was a kind of T.V that never existed which makes it an invention and u all bought it. Can u start thinking along this line instead of just thinking its only the white man that is capable of doing something new? Coffee is invented by a black Sudanese but the white folks took it and started refining it, they never thought there is nothing more they could do with coffee despite the fact that it wasn't their invention.

defhenry: My brother, if we are so brainwashed, why do we use cash and not cowries?y are you on a computer or mobile fone typing your opinion rather than arguing it out in the village square?y do we not trek to work or go on horses and camels?The truth is, the world is a global village, the sooner we learn to accept that the better for us.[b]This is for u and other similar arguments to urs on this topic. The problem with ppl like u is that u do not reason independently and critically, u only look at the trend in the mainstream and form ur reasoning, ur mentality and mindset on it. Meanwhile, innovators and inventors wouldn't have been able to do anything extraordinary if they didn't think beyond the ordinary and that is sadly the significant difference between white folks and black folks. The white folks are constantly trying to defy the status quo and establish a new one. By so doing, the new status quo becomes an invention. Meanwhile all a black man like u are willing to do is only adhere to status quo, by so doing u can never invent anything and the world is not willing to respect dull heads that can't innovate or invent. There is a difference in adoption of technology and adoption of culture, if u embrace ur culture, it will inspire new inventions because ur passion for ur own culture will spark the desire to evolve it into a new phenomenon generation after generation and that will establish new inventions, that is how u invent and advance as a ppl. All this mobile phone, internet etc u are talking about are irrelevant analogies, otherwise by ur ridiculous logic we should be able to conclude that the white man's adoption of railway technology is tantamount to trying to be Indians that invented it. But this same white man will never dress like an Indian man whose invention they have found indispensable in their sophisticated transportation. What about the UAE? have u not asked urself why are they the new age biggest consumer of most sophisticated technologies u can ever find and yet their culture, their identity and their brand is still sustained and subsisting? Well it is because they are using their brains, they are thinking, they don't feel inferior to the white man.

[b]It's unfortunate that some people are hell bent on advocating for suits as official attire. This is a height of inferiority complex. U have given up to the white man and in ur brains, u can never initiate or innovate anything. In ur brains, all u have to do is just follow the white man. Instead of us to be discussing how to encourage or enforce wearing more smart traditional attires, u guys prefer not to think or innovate anything of ur own, instead u just want to abandon ur own stuff and copy white man's initiatives. We can never get anywhere this way until u start thinking with ur own brains and creating ur own brands. If the white folks have the same mentality as urs, they would never be anywhere near where they are right now. They don't look up to anybody to solve their problems, they look within themselves and get things done but we look up to them and copy their solutions. This is pathetic and some of u are here speaking big grammars just as if that means u are smart. i am so disappointed. Lagos state should have worked together with local designers and come up with an array of standard smart looking designs for officials within which they can choose from and anything outside the array will not be allowed. That is how u enforce uniformity and curb excesses like agbada. But u don't want to think, u don't want to create employment for ur local fashion industry, rather u prefer to always consume ready made initiatives even including stuffs as flimsy as clothes, u prefer to further enrich the likes of Louis Vuitton in Paris at the expense of ur own, that is black man mentality. That is why the white folks never see u as a threat like they see the middle east and China, they know u don't think. U guys need to think deep.[/b] 7 Likes |

Those inner city Ibadan ppl have inundated their senses with mystical and ghostly hallucinations by constantly listening to various ridiculous super ghost story series on yoruba radio programs. These stories educate them to the reverse and dumb them fatally down. Hence the reason why Ms Ramota's brain could not connect anything normal or natural 2 what she was seeing that this could be another aquatic creature she has never seen before but instead, she immediately concluded it was strange and aligned it with all the strange information already stored in her mental database and cried out for help. If the government is not ready to at least enlighten the ppl, we can never move forward. Get those ridiculously unfounded super stories off the radio, the majority of low class ppl might like them but it is not helping them. Replace the programs with more educative programs. I might not be updated with the currently popular of those programs but I am sure they will still have them, so get rid of them now!!! |
