WiszyFraud: The people that has come out so far to condemn the killing, what difference has it made? Did it bring the girl back to life? Has it made the Muslims felt remorseful??
The celebrities should get behind their phone’s keyboards, condemn the killing, and what happens? Or you just want to feel satisfied that the celebrities has condemned the act?
logiccal: Anyways, I don't understand what Christians gain by insulting Islam and their religious figures. I hardly see a Muslim publicly insult the religion of Christianity...
Y'all keep saying how barbaric and inhumane these people are, yet you keep provoking them.
Like it or not, what Deborah did was stupid.
and judging by how fluent she is in Hausa language, she already knew the weight of what she was about to do. She already knew Muslims would do anything if she insulted Prophet Muhammad ﷺ yet she went ahead with it.
(I heard) they even requested her to make an apology so that everything will be gone, but she refused... For whatever reason known to herself.
If you're in Rome do as Romans do, you can't be in Sokoto and think you could get away with insulting the Prophet and ridiculing him.
Even if she had managed to escape on that Thursday, as far as she's in Sokoto they would find a way to get to her.
The rich always get a chance in court to defend themselves, why are we encouraging jungle Justice on ourselves. May God forgive you. I just hope that you or any member of your family don't meet an unfortunate death somewhere for being the minority.
MrBrownJay1: the important question IS: have you ever loved someone before?! and if the answer is yes then the joke is on you and we all feel sorry for you.
edogu: Like I pointed earlier, it is possible in an ideal society. What you pointed out can only be possible for the informed mind.
Why cant we put in effort to become an ideal society, isn't that what we desire most? What we have faced these past years should be a wake up call to all but we would rather turn a blind eye to our own faults and expect God to do some sort of miracle for nothing.
edogu: If you are very hungry ( to the point of death), would you go for food or motivational talk? In ideal society what you said should be the ideal thing but Nigeria is not an ideal society the last I checked.
No one is hungry "to the point of death," we just need to stop thinking with our stomachs for a minute.. They'll give you money that can barely last you a week and then proceed to increase your suffering for years.
edogu: With the high rate of poverty and unemployment everywhere that to me will be very difficult.
Maybe, but there is a chance that our lives will be better if only we can reject that little token. Why don't Nigerians focus on those candidates that might feel they owe us instead of those crooks that see their political offices as return on their investments.
This thread is created in response to the this other thread https://www.nairaland.com/7089749/peter-obi-collect-politicians-money where Peter Obi adviced Nigerians to collect money from other politicians and still vote for a credible candidate in the forth-coming election. I understand why he may have made such statement. Therefore, this thread is not meant to discredit him but to explain the implications on the future of Nigeria.
HERE ARE "FIVE REASONS YOU SHOULDN'T ACCEPT MONEY FROM POLITICIANS" WHETHER OR NOT YOU INTEND TO VOTE FOR THEM.
1. How are you so sure it's your money you are getting back: Even though we've always been told that we should accept whatever politicians gift us during campaign that afterall it's ours. Well, this might not be true in all cases since other rich men and criminals also sponsor politicians too. so, you can't be too sure about the real source of the money.
2. The wrong candidate becomes the most popular: When you gather amongst others to collect money from a politician " even though you might not have the intention of voting or campaigning for him/her," your presence and that of others like you sends a message to many indifferent or oblivious people watching the crowd that this candidate might actually be loved by everyone (including you) and this can cause them to vote for and even campaign for such candidate.
3. You loose your integrity: When others see you collecting money from a bad candidate, you no longer have the moral ground to advice them against campaigning or voting for such candidate because that would have made you look bad in their eyes.
4. You don't give the poor a chance of getting elected: When the focus of a whole community is shifted on the one that has some change to spread around, who would have time to notice the humble guy with an unquestionable character who truly understands the plight of his people and has good intentions for them.
5. What if the candidate you took money/gifts from finally wins even though you didn't elect him: Here is what would happen, his next move would be to pay back those that sponsored his campaign in anyway possible. He would either pay his debt through embezzlement of taxpayers' money or by putting them (the sponsors) in big offices where they can just steal the money themselves (either way, it's a big loose for you).
All i'm saying is, you can never get good governance by supporting currupt act, you can't eat your cake and have it.. We can only see true change when we make the conscious effort to be true to ourselves. lets change our mentality and begin to make sacrifices for our future.
IamWonderful: Peter Obi have found his voice, is it today that the killing of people start in Benue and plateau even in your south east where prominent people were killed but he was silent like a graveyard, he doesn't want to be in bad record
i'm telling you men! this politicians are very ridiculous. i'm still in shock hearing the man condemn Benue/Plateau killing for the first time.
Investigative: Zelensky is a comedian Note Ukraine are still more Russia than west Again Negotiating for peace is not surrendering
You had to call him a comedian again (sentiment). Well, most of them don't think they have a big similarity with Russia, they once did until they found reasons not to and I think Russia should respect that. Negotiating for peace is a definite loss for Ukraine because they want nothing from Russia order than the respect they deserve, but Russia wants to bully them and continue to do so.
Investigative: We don't pray fo such Zelensky want to sacrifice Ukrainians for proxy war Immediately releasing prisoners and arming civilians while Ukrainian male ate running to avoid being forced to join army
Take time and watch,it worth your time from a known source in Ukraine capital kiev hint on the YouTube video Is very educative for those pushing the comedian president to sacrifice his people for proxy 1,most Ukrainian men are fleeing Ukraine to avoid been forced into Ukrainian army
2,zelensky wants this war so bad that he won't mind causing humanitarian crisis because of it
3,Russia motive for the invasion is not to destroy Ukraine but regime change and recognition of Crimea which is on progress
4 American and pro western trolls expecting Russia to destroy social amenities in Russia before they understand that Russia have achieve their aim
5 unlike USA invasion of Syria,Iraq,Libya which they bomb and destroy social amenities, Ukraine still have working internet,electricity Bank working,which means Russia are civil in handling of the crisis while enciring it
6,Russia motive is to capture Ukrainian army and not to destroy Ukraine
7,most of Ukrainian war generals graduated from Russia war college
8,media propaganda by the west is just to invite Ukrainian against Russia,cos most Ukrainian are also evacuating to Russia
9,Russia army withraw whenever they meet resistance,not because they can't forcefully capture Ukraine but the newly recruit orientation was base in military drill Meaning the real invasion haven't started
10,Ukraine are more close and bloody related to Russia
11,zelensky should put the life of Ukrainian first and maintain neutrality as every party signed
Hannania: If Nigeria was in war, obviously it's gonna be It's Citizens before others. We fall to the nearest blink to blame everything on racism. It's not
yorubarere: I hate seeing anything .uk, CNN, BBC and other western news outlets as sources.
These are fake news. They have been bursted countless times on twitter and YouTube for manufacturing their stories. They are now clamping down on channels that carries divergent news about the conflict. The West should know their media monopoly won't last forever.
Western media hypocrisy 1. Afghanistan citizens making cocktail bombs to defend their lands = Bomb them, they are terrorists
2. Ukrainians citizens making cocktail bombs to defend their lands = wow! Brave citizens fighting to protect their lands from russian invaders.
You said fake news b4 the war and your were still saying fake news now.. SMH.
SmartProf: Proactive Africans in Ukraine heeded repeated warnings from the USA to her citizens of an impending invasion by Putin's army, took advantage of those warnings and left Ukraine...others who are weeping today were mocking their home countries in Africa and making derogatory statements that a war torn Ukraine was better than peaceful Africa. I have zero sympathy for those in that category. The EU nations have a treaty to allow citizens of member states free access within nations in the EU, so Africans who aren't EU citizens nor hold EU passports won't be given preference to cross into Poland. Thankfully in the end, the border security officials did allow them in, but it doesn't stop the fact that the quality of life they will have in Poland would be as refugees. The racism card won't blackmail the whites not to care for their own first.
So are you now In support of racism or are you simply misusing the privilege of owning a smartphone which I'm sure is the only thing there is to your name.
FERNANDEZISBACK: Now you guys are taking this thing In another sphere.. Can you bloggers chill and stop painting them in a negative manner..how many times are you gonna be told that there are process to this thing.. It's all over the world and it has nothing to do with racial discrimination... Fine things ain't goin in a good way but you guys are misinterpreting the whole scenerio..
Modified:now you guys are even bloody hypocrites..why the insult on me tho.. Is there any difference from this and what you did to Ghanians(Ghana must go) expelling and deporting them all of a sudden or is there any difference between this and what is happening in your country..the tribal bigotry in politics section..the I*gbo vs Yor*ba name calling..but now that it's outside Nigeria you all are busy insulting them..are you folks in any way different? Incase you don't know..most of you here are die hard racist and I've seen it severally on here..you hypocrites..
Shokoloko: Actually we should both read it. Its called accountability
Lol.. Maybe.. but honestly, most men would not mess around with a fellow man's wife because they feel each other's pain.. what I don't understand is why single women don't feel the same.
Shokoloko: Its not possible to steal a man. Men are strong creatures. He walked away with his two eyes open.
I absolutely hate it when African society makes men look like kids; "Men are like babies; they snatched him; it was love potion; it was jazz"
No, our men are not invalid. They are not babies. Every action they take, they take with their minds intact and they are prepared for the consequences.
