fork adict: In a democratic setting, I dont see how one person can sanitise naija. If his gra gra is getting too much, and he is preventing the national assembly from doing business as usual with tax payers' money, he will be impeached. particularly if he belongs to an opposition party. But i am conviced Buhari will make a little difference if not much. At least he will be far better than OBJ, Yaradua, GEJ all put together.

However, i can comment on HOW naija will be better. First let a military regime take over. The junta should try, jail or execute all corrupt government officials, strengthen the anti corruption agencies, instill discipline in nigerians (like the Buhari-Idiagbon days) and then hand over government to a democratically elected president by conducting a free and fair election. All these should happen in 4 years. Then naija will becone a sane country with sane citizens.

Your idea of the solution to Nigerian's problem is to keep on doing the same old thing, over and over again, even if it has been proven to be futile. Right?

@op do you think there is a just man in Nigeria?

Ajaofosoro: My poeple that ideal man is Buhari. Thank u

Buhari is the ideal man for katsina state. Not Nigeria.

@Op, I agree with you on this, we need to grow up and start thinking hard. Yorubas and Ibgos are always at each others throats, its not funny anymore.

Oduduwa is not happy. We need the guardians of the Oba in this matter.

Where is Ogun and Shango?

kunlekunle: you all came up with these characters of your desired leader.
who in nigeria now fits most?
narrow down candidates.

Fashola.

1) A non-bigot (he is not biased by ethnicity or religion.)
2) A just man (A man that believes in justice,he can even go as far as to use his family members or friend as scapegoat,when that friend or family member has committed a crime)
3) A visionary leader.

op,true but I have dated three Eritrean girls in the past. one of them even told her country man that i workout with to encourage me to date her. And she was fine as hell.

PS, she also workout at this same gym.

[quote author=alex_101]The moral of this whole saga is: "trust a fulani herdman at your own peril". This goes to folks who keep saying northerners are trustworthy. well, there you have it .[/quote]I am not that naive, the only time we were robbed in our house in BC was by two Hausa men.

Nigerians are funny peeps, which kind revolution be this one; Revolution of stealing? A criminal robs his boss and you call it the beginning of a revolution.

sir rinky: Actually its knew you could not know you can.Hey just saying. u might see it when u take ur junior waec again

Both 'know' and 'knew' are suitable in this case. However, I admit that my use of the word 'from' resulted in the sentence being unclear - I should have perhaps substituted 'from' for 'since'.
If i catch you again attempting to correct my English, make thunder fire your yanch. (you when no sabi clean your yanch finish so.)

antartica: You can't give thanks to allah for imposing ugly traitors on you,Will you?

Well that we can do something about. unlike looks.

PS forget plastic surgery. Modupe Ozolua, "eat your heart out".

afam4eva: Governor Aliyu looks like a baboon.

He looks more like a frog to me. I know it's not his fault that he is ugly. We have to give thanks to Allah for everything.

A northerner robbing an Edo man? that is kind of twisted.

Uduaghan is a prince charming where Gov Babangida Aliyu of Niger State is.

Jenwitemi: That is interesting, isn't it? If the world religions do not reflect the characteristics of God, whose characteristics are they reflecting?

I agree.

Theirs of course.

^^ smart asss. We know you can spell 'ugliest' from JSS1.

I don't see what is wrong with Kobo's English. Mr lecturer.

yorke: Nah way! Had the chance to eat it but declined it out-rightly. People who eat snake are most prompt with the spirit of deceptive.

Nonsense! Don't say what you don't know. snake meat is very tasty and healthy. I have killed, cooked and eaten snakes, there is nothing to it. I have even eaten the eggs of a python. big deal, am I now the devil?

harakiri: Since you are the epitome of knowledge, please clearly explain how Judas Iscariot died. Was it from falling or hanging? I ask because the bible (which i'm well versed in) has two diverse descriptions.

That is contrary to what am alluding to. I haven't got a clue as to how he died. Sorry.

Pictures please.

noetic16: Exodus 20:21 spoke in the context of Moses approaching God's presence outside the camp where there was obviously no light.
But the question remains that how do u use pictures to describe this darkness or light to little kids?

You are very funny, the bible do not mix words when it describes the abode of God. Psalm 18;11 He made darkness His hiding place, his canopy around him, Darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.

We have to find a politically correct way to teach children what good and evil is through pictures.

noetic16: 2. The bible calls/describes the presence of God (heaven) as LIGHT. Whilst describing hell or the non-dwelling presence of God as HELL or Darkness.

There are so many quotes in the bible that says that God lives in a dark cloud. an example is this.Exodus 20;21 The people stood far off, while Moses drew near to the thick darkness where God was. just like today the peeps of old were also afraid of the presence of a thick darkness,knowing that God lives in it and not the devil.

Ptolomeus: Unquestionably for you and for me, but do not be so arrogant and disrespectful to those who do not think alike.
Nothing is unquestionable, only the pride.You respect others the same way that you want to be respected.

I am not being arrogant or disrespectful, I am saying facts here. We humans have a limited capacity to knowledge,even Einstein struggled to comprehend the laws of the universe. A wise man knows he knows nothing. So it surprises me to hear someone say categorically that there is no God,when its safer to say that you don't know. To prove the existence or nonexistence of God will be the greatest findings of mankind.

Jenwitemi: But black is the colour of satan, isn't it? Do you know what effect that has on one's consciousness? One of the big reasons why i walked out of the christian religion. Very racist religion. And yes, very sexist too.

I think the Europeans depicted Satan as black because they wanted to make him look unlike them. At that time Blacks were probably manly animist (not christens). But in todays world such depictions should be unacceptable.

I think the victims are silly and shameless. And the pastors on the other hand are ungodly predators that should be sanctioned.

@Chrishenzo, I understand what you mean and I feel the same too. However I will like you to know that this issue is more of a sociological and cultural problem than a religious one. We need to create awareness on this issue. Black is just a colour and darkness is the absence of light, its not evil or bad. etc.

@ptolomeus, The concept of God is lost in translation of any religion but the existence of God is unquestionable.

Your ignorance or lack of knowledge is not a proof that God do not exist.

The sun'll come out
Tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar
That tomorrow
There'll be sun!

Just thinkin' about
Tomorrow
Clears away the cobwebs,
And the sorrow
'Til there's none!

When I'm stuck a day
That's gray,
And lonely,
I just stick out my chin
And Grin,
And Say,
Oh!

The sun'll come out
Tomorrow
So ya gotta hang on
'Til tomorrow
Come what may
Tomorrow! Tomorrow!
I love ya Tomorrow!
You're always
A day
A way!

If every black person thinks like you then your prediction will surly come to pass.
