PoliticsRe: From One Nigerian To Another (frank Thoughts) by ayd91(op): 12:37am On Jun 05, 2015
TechRev:
OP can you sacrifice your life for your Nigeria?? The zoological republic of Nigeria is a fraud. Pls open another thread and ask how many people can sacrifice their lives for the British zoo called Nigeria. Keep hoping in your zoological republic of Nigeria. A hope that has lasted for 100yrs yet no improvement and you say you are different from baboons and monkeys??

When Nigeria is killing you daily with police, soldiers, marauding herds men, lack of water, lack of electricity and every other evil man has never thought of and someone will claim he/she loves Nigeria. Thats why evil reigns supreme in the zoological republic cause they love the entity of evil.
Hmmm Can I die for Nigeria? With the motivation, all humans can do anything. So if Nigerian lives are to be saved by my action I think I could.

Nigeria is a fraud? Because it was created by the British? State creation occurs via different means, simply because Nigeria was created as a result of Colonial influence does not make it fraudulent. Would you think same if the Benin empire had thrived and conquered what is now Nigeria? Would you call it legitimate or fraudulent? If yes, then you may as well call most countries of the world fraudulent. Wasn't it how Ghana, South Africa, Kenya and others were created (purposely using African examples)? Why are they not complaining as we are?
The fact is Nigerians are lazy... Not trying to be offensive but we are particularly when it comes to being nationalistic.
We are ever so quick to wine and complain, and when someone rises to do something about it he/she is termed "over sabi".

Tell me, what problems are you facing in your LGA and I'll shock with mine. I don't blamep Nigeria for my LGA's problems, I blame my LGA inhabitants and the leaders they elected, or selected.

We usually conveniently forget we have Local Government, State Government, Senators, House of Representatives members, who are responsible for developing our communities but NO, WE DON'T SEE THEIR FAILURES... INSTEAD WE BLAME IT ON NIGERIA.

The same local and state leaders who consistently plunder our resources somehow convince us that the problem is Nigeria and we believe... And some other wise people say when we break apart all this problems will fade away... SMH. This is reality not fairy tale. Is it the same corrupt leaders who failed years after years that would suddenly get it right? Or they'll step aside and let New leaders rule? If so why don't those new leaders rule now?

State building is not easy, it takes a long time and not all countries have survived it. If we break apart under every challenge we face then the new country you fantasize about would end up being no bigger than a local government area.

My ethnic group my never present a presidential candidate in Nigeria let alone win (if ethnicity was a yard stick) but I believe in the greater good.

I end with this, take a good look at q the government officials around you and ask yourself... WHY AREN'T THEY POOR OR UNDERGOING HARDSHIP IS THIS NIGERIA THAT IS BAD? And compare the economic hardship around Nigeria and tell me who the poorest are and why? We need to unite and hold our leaders accountable while remaining resolute in our struggle for better life. We must realize that our struggle isn't so different you want a country with security, freedom, prosperity, etc. And I want a Nigeria with same characters.

I hope you understand my view.
PoliticsFrom One Nigerian To Another (frank Thoughts) by ayd91(op): 10:49pm On Jun 04, 2015
Nigerians...
Self serving, individualist tendencies can't and won't develop our country, but then do they really care?
Say you can die for Nigeria and look to the faces of all within earshot and you'll realize how people really feel about their country.
The fact is we don't deserve steady power, running water, clean environment, security, and the good things of life as provided by the state. Shocked? How many people have worked towards it? How many people are willing to go the extra mile to ensure the existing infrastructures are in good shape let alone great shape? Who cares... Afterall it's not your father's property right?

Majority of Nigerians don't want change, they only like the idea of change and are too lazy, and weak willed to pursue it conclusively.
This is what I consider to be Buhari's greatest challenge (assuming he is really sincere with his agenda).

What can I say... I am disappointed. But I believe in Nigeria, I have never doubted that... But sincerely today, my faith in my countrymen has been terribly shaken.

What we need is a mental revolution... Regardless of how many countries we carve out of Nigeria, Nigeria is a structure run badly by its citizens, as long as that problem isn't tackled the same would happen there in.

Poems For ReviewJacob's Falling by ayd91(op): 7:31am On May 25, 2015
For your ears,
But not your eyes.
I planned it all,
So true fate testifies.

In time I stalled,
Refused to believe,
Refused to interfere,
Refused to bow,
Coasting through till the end that was mine,
So true fate testifies.

I sit in this shadowy Palace,
Encased in royal doom,
I feel it's a dungeon,
They called it bliss,
So true my past testifies.

My movement ended with no move to make,
So too my moment stayed,
As I strayed from my appointed boom refusing to be doomed,
So true fate testifies.

Shackled! Refusing my end,
Making lies of prophesies,
I fall,
Making a broken image of my once prestigious self.

PoliticsRe: Boko Haram Overpoweres Soldiers In Maiduguri Raid by ayd91(m): 7:24am On May 25, 2015
The headline says Maiduguri but the news reads
" Scores of Islamist militants in trucks and on motorcycles stormed the town of Gubio, 95 kilometres (60 miles) by road north of the state capital, Maiduguri, on Saturday night."

The headline makes it seem like the state capital was actually overrun. This is clearly an example of treason. What's up with the Boko propaganda?

See I was told: to live truly I had live like a child,
So I died... And was born again.
I understood that to understand the mysteries of life I had to regress,
To reject the wisdom of tested men,
To leave the 'trusted' ways,
To adopt the foolish ways understood by fools otherwise called... 'children',
So I died... And was born again.

My foolishness paid off,
So I entered the realm only lived by those of my peers,
Yes! Us... children,
Like the Phoenix or not so like the Phoenix I rose from what was my ashes...
And I...
Shocked and stormed the world with they wisdom they deemed... Foolish.

With my examples which were samples of His examples I proved fantasies right,
OH yes! The fallen could rise,
The blind could see...
And that time could indeed by reversed.
Talk of unending merciful grace...
More foolishness?
Perhaps decite?
May be... You should... Regress.

PS: For the price of non get all...
The biggest scam of all?
Call it disbelieving.
Drag your feet but take a step,
And eventually you'll reach,
Then you'll know what is from what is preached.
Call this my message in the bottle.

PoliticsRe: ‘Islamic State In West Africa': Boko Haram Renames Itself by ayd91(m): 3:12pm On Apr 23, 2015
Arch1:
The election shifted our attention away from the Boko Haram insuregency. The bitter truth is that: The Nigerian armed forces with the help of the Tchadian army dismantled a large part of the Boko Haram caliphate, but their network is still very strong and intact.

Intelligence reports indicates that the Nigerian Army are currently suffering heavy casualty in the hands of Boko Haram inside the Sambisa forest

This has nothing to do with GMB nor GeJ anymore. We need foreign military intervention- (combat forces). Boko Haram members are all over west africa; they are all over the 36 states of Nigeria
Your Comment lacks credence and seems more like a ploy aimed at causing panic.

Nairaland GeneralNigerian Army PR Campaign: Join by ayd91(op): 7:51am On Feb 13, 2015
The PR and flow of information has been notably poor. There is hardly any release of official pictures or videos. Which is indirectly hampering Nigeria's war efforts, leaving other countries such as Niger, Chad, and Cameroon to steal our thunder.

Solution
There is a new movement on Twitter to encourage the release of pictures and videos from the front line. #Please note: this Is not the hunger for action videos but an attempt at a proper documentation of the sacrifices of our service men. Y'all can twit at Gen Chris Olukolade @GENOlukolade with the # Tag # onepixperday. please be polite.

[size=15pt]I completely believe this story is untrue and designed to leak Nigeria's source of arms procurement for it's military.

However, "If" Saudis refuse access over their airspace, they can always break the trip.

Fly from Pakistan to Dubai.
Then from Dubai, fly over the Indian ocean to avoid Saudi Arabia and then land at Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Then from Addis Ababa to Abuja, Nigeria.

Then quietly deny Saudi Arabian airlines landing rights in Nigeria.


.Don't say i told you so... grin
salutation to you man. I thought I was the only one thinking about this. I had to go check my good old map, I was beginning to think Pakistan was surrounded by Saudi Arabia.

elvisosho:
How invaluable the value of a valuable is
The peak of the night is the source of the morning's gloat
Ornamental beauties have failed to buy peace
The shame of yesterday's evil is tomorrow's coat

Who payed the price for the joy we seek so dearly
The fiery dark cloud is lined by worthless silver
Ravishing in the depth of curses as we write our sorrow dairy
We are drained in the tomorrow we hope to deliver

Oh the people fear the writer has given us a song of sorrow
Fear not oh ye pure and rejoice in your deeds oh ye learned
This song is to him whose past is his greatest foe
Who will pay for the joy they so coveted

Time and seasons pass and we know we are not pure
Over and again we revel in thundering mistakes
The result of our actions make our rest unsure
The thought of another day only heightens the stakes

So who am I mortal to rule you out of the curse
Save salvation saves you from these thorns
Till then and after this song should be in your purse
Languish in darkness oh lost till you see the morn

Who has payed the price for the joy you seek so dearly?

I ask again.


Elvis Osho.

FUTURE IS CALLING!!!

From the palace of pleasure
Amidst the Pearl of leisure
I stir, into a hut of stones
Where I pair, feasting off a calabash of bones
But I shall hold my breath
As my redemption cometh
And shall not tarry, just in the morning
For the future is calling


I am in the dungeon of dreams
My vision hunts me to the end of the streams
Where I gulp and drown
Bruised yet not frown
But I shall hold my breath
As my redemption cometh
And shall not tarry, just in the morning
For the future is calling


Now my habitats are no treasures
And my dignity has taken seizures
Yet my lonely soul seeks a light
And shall be set at liberty from the grip of the night
And I shall hold my breath
As my redemption cometh
And shall not tarry, just in the morning
For the future is calling

I realy don't know if this is a national problem but users of MTN under Zone tariff plan have been (and are still being) charged 40K per second as call rate for approx 2 weeks now.
When customer care is contacted, MTN declares they are aware of the "problem" and are currently "working" on it. That has been the story for days now.

France has been ordered to pay thousands of Euros in compensation to a group of Somali pirates who attacked French ships -- because they were not brought before a judge quickly enough after their capture. The European Court of Human Rights said the nine pirates should have been presented to a judge as soon as they landed in France after being held at sea. They were detained by the French Navy in 2008 after attacking a French yacht and a cruise ship off the coast of Somalia.
