CelebritiesRe: Viktoh Tweets After Police Assault by AreaFada2: 7:16pm On Jan 03, 2019
I do not know any period in Nigeria since I became big enough to know things that there never was brutality.

But it took on a new scale when BUHARI came to power in 1983.

First time to see female University students being asked to disembark from public transport buses and frogmarched through muddy puddles. Just for wearing miniskirts and regular body hugging clothes common then. Mostly by Northern soldiers barely able to speak any English.

They brought Sharia mindset to the South. Police soon joined in of course. The long military regime era till 1999 only furrter enhanced that brutality.

We cannot progress like this.

Mitchewww:
KANU can only arise in a nation where everything have failed.

You may hate his tactics but what he lists as his reason to leave One Nigeria are all facts.

South East Gov takes much of the blame because their epic failures gave KANU massive supporters.

Nigeria need to stop bring unfriendly with Israel in our foreign politics.

Israel may care less but they might have been doing this to spit Nigeria.

When Buhari goes to UN, leaves Nigerians problems, calls and corrupt and coat it fighting for Palestine.

Middle East problem that world super powers tread softly on.

I simply blame Buhari finally.
The truth Nigerians are refusing to accept.

If Nigeria was thriving seriously, entrepreneurial Igbo would much prefer a massive & rich country with high purchasing power like Nigeria than Biafra that would have around one-eight of Nigerian population.
FamilyRe: My Wife Is Not Comfortable With My Religious Views by AreaFada2: 4:05pm On Jan 01, 2019
Friend01:
This is the deviation some of your cling to ruin religious fundamentals.
Who said you shouldn't think or explore or even improve upon your existing knowledge of matters and materials -science.
Which religion tells you not to do that?

Just google 101 inventions and you will see what Muslim religious people contributed to science.
Read about Ibn al-haytham and Al-khwarizmi and even al-jabbar (who is the inventor or father of algebra ) all Muslims.
Even not for these Muslims scientist who shaped and remodelled scientific guidelines I guest people like Seun could not have designed Nairaland which all made of algorithm ascribed to Al-khwarizmi and al-jabbar.

Ignorant folks who have not really studied religion thinks religion is a problem of science whereas science is just and off shoot of religion.

Science and technology does not talk about ethics and human behaviour it only deal with matter and and elements and their workings.
stop mistaking the two.
Development in science is not the same as development in morals.

When both conflict faith take the higher ground.
I can't subject myself to human thinking which erratic (ever changing) to that of God's omniscient.
One will be definitely wrong and I know it can never be God's.
The religious people who contributed to science lived in fairly tolerant societies or times. You will be surprised to know that several medieval Muslim societies were very tolerant of both Jews and Christians. Even later in Southern Spain, Muslim civilisation there was top notch in science, maths and learning generally.

Which you choose to have priority is your choice. Not to be forced on anyone or forced by anyone else on you.
But modern intolerance is still alarming considering what we now know from history of the dangers of intolerance
On Nairaland here I watch with dismay how atheists are lambasted and judged almost like the devil.

Attitude of many "religious" people on NL would not encourage atheists to consider becoming religious.
They demonstrate no nobility that their religions teach them to show.

I have lived the bigger part of my life in societies where your religious views are your private matter and nobody does his religious sanctimony "in your face".
And these societies function far better, more hRmonious and more cohesive than the over religious Nigeria society. Even after discounting for various cultures, religions and views that about on both sides.

Nigerians might claim to be tolerant people. But religious people have become increasingly intolerant of free thinkers and traditional religion subscribers. I wonder if we all read the same religious book.

No society without free thinkers succeeds. Funny that ardent religious people cannot do without inventions of free thinkers like the Chinese and Westerners. From church owned TV stations/Broadcast to IPhone. grin

My Christian faith tells me to love my neighbour as myself. It didn't say my neighbour must be a Christian.

@Op,
it is obvious your wife would not have married you back then as you are now. She feels duped in a way. You may not need to continue your religious practice even if less strictly than before. It is your religion from birth after all.
Human interpretation of religion may not be perfect but hold on to the positives you find in it.

PoliticsRe: Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Welcomed In America In 1961 by AreaFada2: 10:29pm On Dec 31, 2018
Listen to the English a grade II teacher Balewa spoke then. And listen to how SANs and PhD holders speak today.

You will see what went wrong. Americans and the West are not imbeciles not to know.

We simply slipped into mediocrity. And the world is very unforgiving of mediocre people.

As of 1961, only very few countries in the Southern hemisphere had better prospects than us. Dubai and others were villages.

Singapore & Malaysia were on about same footing as us.
PoliticsRe: Military Coup Thwarted Shagari's Planned Handover To Ekwueme- Obiano by AreaFada2:
Daviddson:
I can say that this is totally false, because Shangai was overthrown 3months after he won re-election. So there was still a huge nearly 4 years before another election.

If Shagari had been a Christian, the narratives would have been that Buhari overthrew him because he was a Christian. I don't like Buhari's leadership style and behaviour, but it's time we citizens refused to allow politicians to use our heads to play betting, using tribal or religious inclination, like Obiano is trying to now.
Obiano is partly correct. Though not the only or full reason. I have written about it over the years on Nairaland.
Buhari didn't want OBJ to even hand over power to civilians in 1979. But was powerless against senior SMC members like Yar'Adua, Danjuma, etc.

A move that made OBJ to deny Awo the presidency. The decree that governed 1979 election provided that if no candidate in presidential election got the clear majority and the top two were too close to call, the Parliament will chose the president. Awo had secured majority support in parliament and would have been nominated, OBJ retroactively changed the rules after election to allow the one with highest votes become president and handing it to Shagari.

OBJ feard an imminent coup if he handed power to a fellow Yoruba man. He thought he had secured democracy.
I had investigative journalists as relatives back then.
Everyone expected the coup on independence day which was also presidential inauguration day on October 1st 1983.

Solomon Lar had confronted Buhari who was GOC in Jos, about coups rumours months earlier. Umaru Dikko's contacts in the military had hinted him about the coup. Buhari denied the rumour.

Dikko was later kidnapped in UK by Buhari for it as Head of State. Forget corruption gist.

Surely the prospect of Ekwueme taking over if Shagari should die also frightened Northern elite. Remember Biafra war ended just 13 years earlier.
PoliticsRe: Why Are Nigerian Youths Not Supporting Sowore by AreaFada2: 10:52am On Dec 31, 2018
Because the youth have been subdued by the ruling old elite.

Without much self-esteem and belief, they are a conquered and cowered segment of the society.

Stockholm syndrome on a Gargantua basis is also there.

They think all that matters is quick money to flaunt & shouting Oluwas bless my hustle. grin cheesy

No idea that collective prosperity comes from a visionary political class. Something sorely missing since Awo was in Western Region govt.

@OP,

I am not against your spending on her as you can afford. But her mindset and entitlement mentality is troubling.

What happens if someday you do not have much (God forbid), will she still be sweet and loving? Or become very unreasonable and disrespectful.

With all your current largess she's calling you stingy, what if you decide to give less?

In my opinion, cut your loss and move on dude.

When people start flaunting things like this, I always suspect that they feel a certain emptiness within or miss being genuinely loved. I do not think everybody needs to know how rich you are or every expensive item you buy. One can be rich with money but remain mentally very poor.

Be as it may, I hope she's GENUINELY made happy by her pricey acquisitions.

That's all that really matters. Good luck to her.
PoliticsRe: Shagari's Death: Buhari To Visit Sokoto Tomorrow by AreaFada2: 10:38pm On Dec 29, 2018
Buhari is the biggest treasonous traitor alive today. He raped democracy by overthrowing Shagari. A fine gentleman in the mold of Tafawa Balewa.

Some indomie zombies will come and tell us Buhari did not take part in the coup. They have neither the wisdom nor experience to know that the head of state to be or leader is usually in a safe place while his boys carry out the coup.

RIP Alhaji Shehu Shagari. Great to have seen your time in charge to compare with the junketting airman currently in Aso Rock.
