Am talking from experience not one book wrote by one fellow,

The Ogbe ijaw vs Aladja is not ijaw/itsekeri crisis, millions have been pump, things have been done but it still continue, Asari should be arrested

Why start at the middle of a conflict?

Most recent conflicts you see today have roots in fragile peace & conflicts 'inherited' from our forefathers.

What you see today is additions to what was already there before. That's my point. The players are always new, but the game has been on for long.

Cheers.

There is so much going riot in this woman's mind.

She has all of the hallmarks of a Kemi Olunloyo with a PhD.


So much vile, anger, and bitterness.

She could be battling with some deeply personal stuff.


Too much confusion for the life jare

There's some much going on in everybody's head.

What she says is hardly novel to anyone relatively knowledgeable about global/local happenings.

It is just that adult Maturity restraints most people.
Only children or the less 'stable' say things on their mind the way it occurs to them.

Proverbs 29:11.

eddynaira125:
You are too blind to see the truth, that rivers fat pig is the sole sponsor of that crisis take it or leave it, an average Niger Delta man don't hide secret, if you know the number of lives that crisis have brought down you will join me on the campaign to effect the immediate arrest of Asari

You're funny.

Itsekiri - Ijaw crisis (in all variations) has been on since before Ansari was born.

Even in 1952 when Awolowo made Olu of Itsekiri to become Olu of Warri, it didn't sit well with other groups. Attributing the fragile peace in Delta (especially Itsekiri, Ijaw & Urhobo) amongst all groups to Asari (A person born in 1964) is laughable.

eddynaira125:
Asari just show to the world that his the sole sponsor of Aladja and Ogbe ijoh Crisis, ought to be arrest immediately.

If that's what you made of his outburst then I'm glad you don't head a Court. Or I hope you don't (since I don't know you).

He's (And I'm not a fan of his) point at the narrower scope of Tom's purported 'struggle'.

Those inventions they claimed to hv invented were not their inventions at all....they simply claimed it as theirs....these are sophisticated criminals.....

They've since left us. 60+ years later we still rely on them & the US as a heavily importing nation.

"Our leaders can't decide to steal because that's ILLEGAL"? Where did you get that?

You said..."if our leaders choose to fly half mast, it means we have done so."

Going by your theory, If the leaders steal money and use to train their kids abroad, does that mean "we" have done so?

Has Nigeria not commiserated with the UK? Of what use is flying flags half mast for a person you say was of no value to Nigeria?

What is the correlation between "We (leaders) chose to do so" and "the UK didn't have to"?

The criminal code.

The UK didn't for e us to fly half.

If you live in Lagos, the government decided to ban Okada (commercial motorcycles) in almost all urban LGAs. I disagree with that decision but can I challenge him? No. Sad but that's how things are.

WITHIN the ambits of what's not illegal, our leaders make decisions (wrong or right for us) that's how democracy works.

Our leaders can't decide to steal because that's ILLEGAL.

P.S. You disagreement should be at our leaders NOT the UK who aren't forcing us here.

Skyrays:
Abolish the monarchy is already trending on twitter

It's funny how people say abolish the Monarchy (in anothers' country (note that the British don't have any strong Republican movements)).

But the same people can't push for abolishment of an Oba of Benin or Lagos. Or Alafin — in their own country.

So interesting.

Very absurd comparison. Stealing is clearly a crime.

A decision such as flying flags at half mast or not is NOT a crime. why equate both decisions?

The British also ushered in the Industrial revolution and other inventions that have dramatically increased the quality of life, world over. I hope you don't use any of those inventions too.

Oh you use English. And don't tell me you were forced by colonialism. No. Almost no Nigerian language was made extinct by colonialism.
So we'll do you.

Cheers.

mvem:
is she our Queen. Even Ireland no send am...What's the essence of this?

Are we still under colonialism?

The UK didn't force us.

Just as other countries aren't forced to fly half.

Our leaders (the people we choose to rep us) choose to do so.

CheapHomes1:
Who are the "we"? How can "we" be the leaders?

The UK didn't force us to do anything here Oga.

We = Leaders means that all over the world, elected leaders 'represent' their peoples. If our leaders choose to fly half mast, it means we have done so.
Maybe not you. But we (Nigeria) through its officially elected government.

Akwamkpuruamu:
Olu of Ibadan died, Alaafin of Uyo Died, Olu of Warri died, what did Britain do

Again, they are NOT the equivalent of the Queen.

You should know this.

CheapHomes1:
You didn't answer the question. When Yar Adua died, what did the British do?

Of what value was the queen to Nigeria?

None.

But they did commiserate with Nigeria on Yaradua's death.

https://allafrica.com/stories/201005070286.html

We (leaders) chose to do so. The UK didn't have to.

Akwamkpuruamu:
Iberiberism!

When Yar Adua died, what did the British do? Asslicking at its best

To be fair though, Yaradua is not the equivalent of the Queen.
I suppose you know this.

No matter what I still believe the dead should be treated with a little bit of nervousness and respect

Her comments are utterly distateful but she didn't critic the western world but the queen specifically.

mrvitalis:
Before you remind us that mbaise rejected him because he is from Anambra that was no the case ....the present bishop of mbaise is from umuahia

Mbaise has over 800 rev fathers awka has 300 plus ...awka has produced 6 bishops this man made it 7

Mbaise being who we are said Cardinal arinze can't pick a bishop from his place for us ...our late bishop left a list of potential replacement chose from those

How can people that have 800 bishops have zero bishops and a place that has 400 have 7 ...

So if you want to conderm mbaise people know the truth ...we would never support injustice not even from the church

Please tell me this politics isn't happening in the 'house of God'. Tell me.

The campaign hasn't started?

AJ was not dt good, na we bin de overhype the gee, a heavyweight boxer dt only cares about giving jab bt can’t receive one isn’t a good boxer
After that usyk bout he clearly stated dt usyk won not because he was stronger bt because usyk is more skillful than him
Fury knows all these, he knows he would beat AJ even before round 10, that’s why he is asking for the fight to make more cash n get more wins

He wasn't that good yet he lost by split decision on points.

Hahaha

Marleek:
Normal level. With the way dbanj was catching cruise, its obvious they're cool with each other. It will be hard for jazzy to catch cruise at the headies stage considering the fact that olamide was also present at the event. All of them go dey form maturity now. That is the first time they'll both be at the headies since that fight. Even olamide was acting cold on stage. Headies has lost its vibe, perhaps the reason why they had to host this edition in the US.

People paid Transport of a ~N1m naira excluding Hotel and other expenses for a show that has lost it vibes?

Wow.

EinsteinAyo:
This is commendable. I hope the laptop will be affordable for the common man.

A 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD Brand new Laptop can't be affordable for the 'Common man' in 2022. Unless there's a giveaway.

I hope there is.

Why is it difficult to have peace in countries that are predominantly moslems? I come in peace, just be wonderin why, and this is the clear proof for those who think all terrorists are muslim if they are true muslim how can they attack in a worshipping place and kill a muslim those attacker dont hv any religion!

You mean selective countries though.

There's relative peace in Saudi, Quatar & the UAE.
Indonesia and Jordan too.

Maybe you should look into cultures.

Please tell Mr Fake Bishops to show us a copy of his birth certificates, we want to confirm something.
Obi has shown us everything, including his school & birth certificates, but Tinubu keeps telling us stories.
The same stories that Buhari told us which landed us into this mess that we are all collectively suffering.

GardenGreen:
Even if he starts a business with it and uses money from the business to do the marriage rites, it's from his brother. He can't wish it away.

A brother is trying to help. The one that needs the help is trying to spin it with all sorts of negative narratives. Tufiakwa. Poor people have terrible mindsets. From the epistle, it is clear the elder brother isn't just stvpid. He has mental problem, unstable, create scenarios that do not exist in his head and at the same time would hold people responsible for his misfortunes


If we humans can humbly give, i don't see why we can't humble receive

If he considers his younger brother such an enemy, he should go it all out without him in his life completely.

Nonsense

Is This how you rush to conclusions?

Wow. Are you rich?

When Nigerians denigrate the poor as a group I laugh. Besides a few, most Nigerians are a sickness away from Poverty.

[quote author= post=116244767]Atiku don lule


This reminds us.....

Tinubu contested and won a Lagos senatorial election.
But when IBB banned all old generation politicians just to disqualify Yar'adua, Yar'adua put Atiku forward to run for President.
Prior to this time, Tinubu had jettisoned his Senate Presidential ambition to pave way for a Southern President.
At the Jos convention, Abiola and Adedibu had a long meeting with Yar'adua to drop his boy Atiku from the race so that Kingibe would not defeat MKO in the primary.
Yar'adua initially refused until people like Adedibu, Tinubu, Oladipo etc reminded him how they supported him against southerners before IBB disqualified him.
Yar'adua eventually surrendered and Atiku backed down, not willingly.

IN 1999, Atiku won Adamawa Governorship Election, Tinubu won Lagos Governorship Election.
OBJ picked Governor Elect Atiku as running mate, therefore, Atiku never had the opportunity of showing his capabilities to transform Adamawa.
Whereas, Tinubu grabbed the opportunity and turned Lagos to 4th Economy in Africa while Adamawa became a den of terrorism until Buhari dislodged the terror.
Boko haram that terrorised the state was formed in Borno during the regime of OBJ and Atiku but became a global worry under GEJ.

After 2003 election, when Obasanjo was molesting Atiku, Atiku ran to Tinubu his PFN brother for safety, he got it.
Tinubu formed and funded a political party when OBJ technically expelled Atiku from PDP. Tinubu gave Atiku the platform.
However, Atiku left thereafter to rejoin the PDP because Atiku couldn't cope with the little beginning of the AC,
he wanted a ready made party.
Tinubu must have told himself "Atiku is not following Yar'adua's ethics. Yar'adua was never a political olosho", Tinubu’s trust for Atiku evaporated.
And when Atiku lost in the PDP again, he was stranded. Tinubu and Buhari formed APC, immediately Atiku saw APC, he left PDP officially and ran to Tinubu again.
Buhari was afraid that Tinubu would jilt him for his PFN ally, despite many assurances, Buhari was sceptical until after Tinubu kept his promise at the Teslim Balogun Stadium in Lagos.
That was when Atiku also realised that he has lost Tinubu’s trust!!! Atiku again went back to the PDP after the general elections.

Atiku has been moving in and out of the PDP like a celebrity marriage, whereas Tinubu has never been a PDP man for one day.
Atiku is unstable politically, Tinubu is not just stable, his words are bankable, ask Buhari.
tiku is unlike Shehu Musa Yar'adua, ask Tinubu, ask OBJ and ask Nysome Wike.

2023 has brought the two students of the same teacher into a single contest, who actually got the best training and adhere strictly to it? Who has the magic wand of Tafida?
Nigerians have to make a clear choice between faithfulness or Promiscuity. Between Selflessness and Selfishness.
Between Tinubu’s Lagos Performance and Atiku's VP performance.
Between Tinubu’s ExxonMobil records and Atiku's Customs Records.

Between a Dubai based politician and a Lagos Based National Leader!!!
[/quote]Ranked by GDP, what do you suppose Lagos was in Africa before Tinubu?

Sincerely, because that'll help access if the '4th' status was really an achievement.

When has meeting people in Public constituted bearing no grudge against them.

Even Judas kissed Jesus in the same hour he betrayed him.

JASONjnr:
Olodo.... So if he's 35 and he goes for a girl that's 30yo... then that's going for younger girls?

A 30yo girl is younger?

Well Yes. A 30 YO. is younger to a 35 YO.

Is a 30 YO older to a 35 YO?

JASONjnr:
You're a kid and you actually don't even know anything....

I didn't advice him to go for young and stubborn kids of your thinking class....


La

You're a kid and you actually don't even know anything....

I didn't advice him to go for young and stubborn kids of your thinking class....

Hahahaha.

That's literally what you did.

Advising him to Always go for younger ladies. You used the word 'always'.

I'm just correcting you to say that Younger doesn't ((always)) mean you have control.

Cheers.

JASONjnr:
Good for you...

[b]Always go for ladies you're far older than... Say 5 to 6yrs older than..

That way, you will be in control [/b]of the relationship and not give a 2oman the chance to always talk down on you because she will always see herself as someone that you should be calling aunty...

Stop thinking linearly.

There many young & stubborn ones around today.

Gosh234:
I will go straight to the point and make this brief. Recall this thread https://www.nairaland.com/6990203/should-marry
On March this year I got a job as ICT officer in a firm which made me move to Lagos ,we are super excited about this development and everything working out fine (No relationship is perfect, understanding kept us going)

I served in a university, towards completion of my service year, I accomodated a guy who got to know about us
One day we were in a arguement of dating or marrying someone older than you.
I stood my ground that I can marry irrespective of age, provided it is what I want
The guy came to conclusion that it seems my spouse is older than me, we laughed over it (That ends it)

Secondly my friend Davidson that live in the same compound who is done with his studies, working while waiting on NYSC.
I told him about my woman , how I love her and ready to settle down as soon as things go as planned for me (he have seen her visited once but they never met)
He asked me if she work, I told him
He asked of her age, I JUST TOLD HIM THAT SHE IS A BIT OLDER THA ME.

While discussing with my woman last night , I was assuring her how much I love her irrespective of anything then I pointed out the two above incidence
To my greatest surprise she became angry eith me
In her words
a) She detest dating underage, how she found herself in this mess she can't tell

b) I should go ahead and tell my mum and elder brother (they just talk via phone) and even all my friends

c) I make her look desperate, that she is loosing interest already

d) I insulted her and she can't trust me again

NOTE
a) I promised her that no one will know of the age difference even if they know she is older

b) I never mentioned her age to these people or the age gap

My crime is that I admitted that she is older and I am proud and love her wholeheartedly

I don't see this working out again
I feel so belittled
Gosh

Wow.

You're operating outside the norms. But you're expecting to have 'normal' experiences.
