lonewolf:
Again, I think that Nigerians should be directing their emotions towards constructive things, and demanding pressing answers to serious questions -- like why is there no sensible energy policy in the country, etc. People are always lamenting and living in some past glory. If it's not old Yoruba dudes talking about Awolowo, it's Igbos complaining about a civil war, or Hausas plotting the glory days of military rule. All that is washed up. Nobody cares. I know I don't. What people are bothered about is the 'here-and-now' and 'going-forward'. And in contributing constructively to how people can lift this cursed country from the hole, I don't see how eulogising some nameless militant is going to help. Just my thoughts though.

lonewolf:
Most Nigerians don't care about stuff like this. Most people are worried about food, electricity, how to pay school fees, etc. It's difficult to see the point of this incomprehensible romanticism of tribal ethnicities and origin. Of course, ethnic minorities have been treated badly -- no one will dispute that. That said, I think it's pretty pointless knocking your heads and typing essays about obscure "freedom fighters" most Nigerians will never know -- and, quite frankly, don't give a shit -- about.

Energy should be directed at more constructive things, things that affect the daily lives of Nigerians. mess a Boro.

Fhemmmy:
I remember that song too oh, however, how many of the pple that used to sing that song are still in Nigeria?

Nija4Life:
You are spot on 'Afam4eva', it is very worrying that our people have discarded our language in favour of English. I wonder if our language especially Ibo) will be spoken in 50 years time. I remember not too long ago I asked one of my friends here in the UK if they spoke Ibo to their son and his wife answered "No, we don't want him to learn Ibo", that sums it up.

It is unfortunate that people such as Kobojunkie would like to eat their cake and have it. Any approach short of disintegrating the jungle called Nigeria is simply naïve and disingenuous. The politico-sectarian riots have been a common scene in the northern Protectorate cum northern Nigeria since 1946.

The young leader of the NPC youth wing that saw mayhem and protracted riot of 1946 in Kano later became a minister and very prominent. The person is no less a person than Alhaji Inua Wada. It pays dividends to organize Islamized religious riots in the northern Nigeria.

Kobojunkie:
Remember when you said on another thread that you would rather spend your time dealing with the root cause of these issues and not the symptom? Don’t you see how this is the symptom of the bigger problem: problem that currently exists because our constitution currently allows states to choose to implement religious laws that are completely not in line with the constitution?

what we have to do is responding in a way that shows that this babarism has no place in the 21st century. We can only do that by ensuring that the fools and their sponsors are tried in the law court. Governors in the South can also send a stronger message by beafing up security around Hausas in their State to prevent any reprisal attacks.

Kobojunkie:
And reasoning is turned upside down in a second.

What particular line of my post did you pull the quote below from?


Is it that you cannot pull yourself apart from your issues for the religion and region long enough to see where edging them on could be considered inhumane?

What has delta to do with this? And should you because they did nothing in that case, demand the same happen to them? Jeeezzzz!!! I am more afraid of people with your mindset.

What makes you think you are any better than them then if you are that way about this?

Kobojunkie:
This has nothing to do with being politically correct. . . . it has more to do with practising what you profess first and putting hate or issues you have with their tribe or religion to the side. These are human lives being wasted here. What would your Chineke want you to do? Continue to edge them on?? Come oN!!! This is why I envy people in the west , they seem to have more human feeling than all our african brothers who claim one religion or another .

Kobojunkie:
The people in the pictures are flesh and blood like your children and your mothers and fathers. Please stand up against this nonsense rather than think that it is not of your concern since it is all in the north.

WilyWily:
asha80, Gooooood picture i like it if they are Northern Moslems, they look like dead Goats.

McKren:
Some of these comments are of no benefit to the South

We have our Southern brothers living up there and are always vulnerable in the face of crisis like these

I just wish folks will guard their comments sometimes

what we should be doing is putting pressure on the Government to investigate and prosecute the kingpins and sponsors amongst the political class.

bawomolo:
I think the British take some blame for not properly preparing Nigerians in the areas of Administration.

The British didn't build a properly disciplined army either.

Not pessimistic, but this aint gonna work. You can only protest against a govt that refuses to listen. Concerning this Power issue, d govt officials dont know what to do about power. They ve tried to think about it but its just too much for their head.
