Abagworo:
No I was not joking.I have never heard Boko Haram claim they are fighting Southerners nor have I heard of them targeting Southerners.Everything they have done remains in the North mostly against Government interest.

[b]The so-called MEND are non-entities consisting mostly of people that want to stay alive and enjoy oil money while Boko Haram consists of those willing to fight to death or die along with their target because they feel persecuted for their religious belief.I am therefore not feeling secure with MEND fighting for money challenging people who believe they are fighting for God.[/b]Nobody has ever won such a war.

History is there for everyone to see right from when They tried to end Christianity,rise of Mohamed,Rise of Al qaeda and lots more.It is only peace that can solve such religious problem.

[quote author=Okija_juju link=topic=783207.msg9357978#msg9357978 date=1318856364]I respect the Niger Delta Militants as a ruthless gang whose terror actually caught the attention of the government, but this is where they messed up, they were more interested in the money than in any real true cause. They fought hard with the Military in the creeks, attacked oil installations but thats just it. Wth the exception of the Oct 1st bombing of 2010, they really didnt create much damage. PLUS they surrendered arms and ammunitions in exchange for money,

Now these Boko boys are on a different high. They are motivated by religion, have no real cause they are fighting for, have attacked two high profile government building that caused maximum damage, have detonated bombs inside over 3 military bases, refuse to negociate, killed the first man who attempted to negociate a truce with government and the one big edge they have over Niger Delta boys is they have no regard for even their own lives.

The ultimatum given by the Niger Delta boys is laughable because they really do not have the capacity to carry out any major assault on Northern settlements in the region cos they have been mostly disarmed. The Boko boys on the other hand are still very active and have proven that their own strikes carry more weight. The only problem I forsee is that should the Niger Delta boys actually carry out their threat, the retaliatory attacks would not be on Niger Delta indigenes but rather Eastern traders who ply their trade in the North and that would just start a sh.it storm of events that would definitely spiral outta control because the Igbos are always looking for an opportuinity to yell genocide.[/quote]It was all hype! The military couldn't hold them because of the high level of corruption
and exchange of cash among st them.

The JTF soldiers were has guilty as the MEND boys! The soldiers were involved in the bunkering activities
going on there. They were also getting heavily paid by multinationals for some so- called protection. The
government gave those MEND boys too much space!

Back then, soldiers wanted to be posted to the south-south because the ground was some kind of a get-rich
quick scheme. A soldier friend of mine who recently returned from a Sudan mission testified this to me.

He told me they were bribing their bosses to get their names on the JTF posting list.

Unfortunately, just like Jos-the soldiers wey dey Maiduguri presently dey vexxx cos their nuttin to gain there!

Little wonder they are maiming even the innocents!
Politics › Man Poses As Ex-ig Mike Okiro by baslone(op): 12:25pm On Oct 17, 2011
Charles Ebuzoma, an indigene of Okwani West, Delta State, has been into
impersonation and other fraudulent acts for over a year. The 32-year old
dealer in Italian shoes thought this was the path to riches without stress.

But he was mistaken.

Recently, Ebuzoma was paraded by the Lagos State Anti-Robbery Squad for
impersonating former Inspector-General of Police, Sir Mike Mbama Okiro. He
claimed it was his deceased friend named Innocent that brought him into the
world of impersonation.

He credited Innocent with helping him to get the phone numbers of prominent
Nigerians, including senators and ex-governors. His mode of operation is novel.
Using different SIM cards, he sent text messages to them and asked for one
favour or the other, after introducing himself as IG, Okiro.

Among the people he demanded money from were Senators Oluremi Tinubu, Bukola
Saraki, ex-speaker of the House of Representatives, Dimeji Bankole, ex-Governor
Depreye Solomon Alamiyeseigha, and some other important people.

According to Ebuzoma, through some of the federal lawmakers whose phone numbers
he had, he got the contacts of other prominent people in the country.

In a text message he sent to Oluremi Tinubu he wrote “Hope you are doing well, Insha
Allah. Please. kindly text contact of Ambassador Musiliu Obanikoro and forward two names
for Cadet ASP and must possess 1st degree. Pls. my regard. I.G POL Mike Okiro rtd.”

He wrote to Senator Sulaiman: “My distinguished Sen. Adokwe very sorry, missed your
calls. Am with a guest please bear with me. Hope you got my message? Thank you. IGPol
Mike Okiro rtd.”

After his arrest, he claimed hard times pushed him into crime and bad company and
regretted impersonating ex-IG, Okiro.

Throwing some light on the suspected fraudster’s arrest, Mr. Abba Kyari of the The
Lagos State Anti-Robbery Squad, stated that S.P Abubakar Yakubu, Commander of
Mobile Police 22, Ikeja Lagos, facilitated Ebuzoma’s arrest. Ebuzoma had sent some
text messages and placed a call to Abubakar to help him financially, and a usual,
introduced himself as Sir Okiro.

He dropped the bank account number of his ‘‘secretary,’’ Katherine Ofereka, and
requested that the money be deposited therein.

Abubakar, not believing that it was Okiro asking him for money, decided to play along,
to be sure. Ofereka was arrested. She claimed that she knew “nothing about the fraud
or impersonation, but when I heard Charles’ name I took them to where he lives in Abuja.”

Ebuzoma was nabbed by a 5-man SARS team in Abuja.

Asked why she gave her ATM card and bank account freely to be used by Ebuzoma, Ofereka
responded that the accused person lied to her that he was into Oil and Gas business. She added:
“He had my ATM card and bank account since he sold his red car and wanted to deposit the money
in my bank account. He collected my ATM card. After we parted ways he called me one Saturday
morning that anytime I am called for an interview in a bank I shouldn’t go. He said my bank was no
longer safe for me and threatened to kill me.”

Reacting, Ebuzoma said he used her as a pawn. He added: “I had to think of a way to avoid
being caught by the police. I decided to use her bank account and ATM card without her knowledge
and consent. I wanted her to be held responsible for the act.”

A distraught Katherine advised women to be mindful of men they relate with and seek God’s
intervention and grace at all times.

Just when you thought wardrobe malfunctions were a thing of the past, along
came Usher. The R&B superstar performed a trio of tracks at the William J. Clinton
Decade of Difference Concert.

While on stage, the dancing machine accidentally split his pants down the left leg.
Not one to miss a beat, the singer had a smooth recovery, even making light of the
unplanned split.

He donned his shades, pointed to the growing hole, and said with a smile, "I work hard."

Indeed he does.

Celebrities › Rihanna Named Sexiest Woman Alive by baslone(op): 3:03pm On Oct 11, 2011
Rihanna is hot -- and not just when it comes to her career. In addition to Billboard's recent
announcement that she just bested Madonna to become the fastest solo artist to chart 20
songs in the Top 10 of the Hot 100 chart, the 23-year-old pop star has been named Esquire's
Sexiest Woman Alive.

Joining the ranks of such Hollywood hotties as Minka Kelly, Jessica Biel, Halle Berry, and Scarlett
Johansson, Rihanna reveals in the magazine that she doesn't think of herself as sexy -- even
after she struts her stuff at one of her racy shows.

"At the end of a concert, I don't feel like I've been this sexy thing," Rihanna admits. "Really, I
don't even think about it."


25 Sexy Dating Rules

RiRi swears that most of the time, she's not trying to be provocative , even during those, uh,
provocative dances onstage. "Unless it's a song that really calls for it, like 'Skin' or 'S&M,' or when
I cover [Prince's] 'Darling Nikki.' There's a section that's called 'Sex' in the show, which is the obvious
section for sexuality."

Hmmm , I can think of at least one person who would disagree: The farmer in Northern Ireland
who insisted Rihanna stop filming a music video in his field last month after he felt she was showing
too much skin!


Why Men Loved Women More Than Ever in 2011!

The "Rude Boy" songstress even opens up to the magazine about her feelings toward Chris Brown,
the ex-boyfriend who physically abused her. "It's incredible to see how he pulled out of it the way he
did. Even when the world seemed like it was against him, you know?" Rihanna tells the mag. "I really
like the music he's putting out. I'm a fan of his stuff. I've always been a fan. Obviously, I had some
resentment toward him for a while, for obvious reasons. But I've put that behind me. It was taking up
too much of my time. It was too much anger. I'm really excited to see the breakthrough he's had in his
career. I would never wish anything horrible for him. Never. I never have."

Rihanna, in case you haven't noticed, has got plenty of other things to do.

Several wounded in bomb attack in northeast Nigeria
Sun Oct 9, 2011 6:48pm GMT  Print | Single Page[-] Text [+] MAIDUGURI, Nigeria Oct 9 (Reuters) -[b] A bomb exploded outside a church in Maiduguri in northeast Nigeria on Sunday, [/b]reviving concerns about a radical Islamist sect in the remote region of Africa's most populous nation.

[b]No one was confirmed dead but hospital staff said they had treated some wounded, including one soldier.

"The bomb was planted near a church where our boys were on guard but fortunately no casualties were recorded," the operations officer for a joint military task force said.

He did not confirm whether the blast was carried out by Boko Haram, [/b]a sect whose name means "Western education is forbidden" and which has been behind almost daily shootings or attacks with homemade explosives in recent months.

Christianity Etc › Re: Indecent Dressing In Churches Worries Nigerian Pastor by baslone: 1:24pm On Oct 08, 2011
Standards of modesty vary by culture, or generation and vary depending on who is
exposed, which parts of the body are exposed, the duration of the exposure, the context.

The context would include matters such as whether it is in one's own home, at another
family member's home, at a friend's home, at a semi-public place, at a beach, swimming
pool (including whether such venues are considered clothes-optional), changing rooms or
other public places.

For instance, wearing a bathing suit at the beach would not be considered immodest, while
it likely would be in a street or an office.


What is considered "modest" in this context will[b] depend on the context when the clothes
will be worn and can vary between religions, cultures, generations, occasions, and the persons
who are present.[/b]

Displaying cleavage is considered permissible in many settings, and is even a sign of elegance
and sophistication on many formal social occasions, but it may be considered inappropriate in
settings such as workplaces, churches and schools.


Modesty has been and continues to be considered important in Islamic society, but the interpretation
of what dress constitutes modesty varies. One traditional opinion is that Muslim women are required
to observe the hijab, covering everything but the hands and face, as a sign of modesty.


Some Muslims are of the opinion that modesty is not restricted to dress but also depends on the
intentions of the individual and that the Quran does not command the hijab or the like.

Modesty in Judaism, called Tzniut, is important beyond aspects of clothing. It extends to behaviour
in public and in private, and depends on the context. In Judaism, women wear skirts to their knees and
to cover their elbows, with blouses covering the collarbone and sleeves coming to or covering elbows.


See-through materials may not be used and clothes are expected not to be tight-fitting, provocative,
loud in color, or display texts. It is the custom for an observant married Jewish woman to cover her hair
in public, and sometimes at home. [/b]The hair covering may be a scarf, hat, snood called a Tichel , or a wig
called a Sheitel

[b]Catholics are expected to dress modestly. The wearing of a headcovering was for the first time mandated
as a universal rule for the Latin Rite by the Code of Canon Law of 1917. which code was abrogated by the
advent of the present (1983) Code of Canon Law,.


Apart from that, there have never been any "official" guidelines issued by the Catholic Church. But, from time
to time the Church hierarchy, and even some popes, have given opinions on various matters; although these
"guidelines" are not binding on Catholics, many tradition-minded Catholics find them persuasive.

Pope Pius XII stated that women should cover their upper arms and shoulders, that their skirts should cover
at least as far as the knee, and the neckline should not reveal anything.Another example is Giuseppe Cardinal
Siri of Genoa, who stated that trousers were unacceptable dress for women.
Many tradition-minded Catholics
have attempted to further expand on this latter standard.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has issued official statements on modest dress for its members.
Clothing which can stimulate sexual desires, such as "short shorts and skirts, tight clothing, and shirts that do
not cover the stomach are discouraged, this is part of the Law of Chastity
. Men and women are also encouraged
to avoid extremes in clothing or hairstyles.

Rules on modesty also include[b] women being asked to wear no more than one pair of earrings.[/b]

Many other[b] Trinitarian Christians also consider modesty extremely important[/b], though considerable differences
of opinion exist about its requirements and purposes.

Amish groups and some Mennonite groups are known for their adherence to modest fashion styles.
Evangelical Christians and Holiness Christians also have strict guidelines on modesty.

This same African mentality you are referring too.

We don't leave our homes heading to the beach to catch fun in blazers.

We don't go to our white collar jobs in bumper shorts.

We don't visit your in laws in bikinis. Every clothing has its time, place and effects.
