chiogo - stop lying. you know you watched every episode of powder puff girls

which hitler voted yes to flogging kids for hawking?

LOL. This is too funny lol. Are you sure the marijuana is medical? was is Dr Phil that gave you that prescription?

what you mean my street pharmacist is a quack?

if that is the sin the army is committing then may they continue to revel in it shamelessly. They can definitely spend wiser and cut back, no question. But outrageously wasteful "projects" like these in my own backyard are slipping under the radar why the masses are villifying the army for trying to protect us:

thoroughbreds have life the good life too. don't we have radars and satellites to keep an eye on north korea and iran?
i consider these warplanes as expensive toys in our quest to compete with china. we all saw how the weapons race bankrupted the soviet union.  the army must find ways to reduce its overhead cost.  whether it be cutting down on expensive toys or streamlining its infantry. 

  Contrary to you and many others, I do not think that many 'struggling schools' simply need more money thrown at them. Infact, I believe the national statistics show that more and more money is being spent per head of each child in public schools year after year (no doubt some of it is simply higher costs of everything). The problem with the rot in schools starts at home. More and more children are not being parented right or at all - we see this evidenced in their attitudes in school and in the community. Pumping in more money may give them Apple computers and oak-lined chairs instead of Dells and cold aluminum seats - but it will not make them better students or better children.

that's part of the problem.  there are parents who could care less about a PTA meeting but there are indeed school districts which could use a little cash.

but I think having the fastest warplane here on volatile earth is very very important - staying ahead of the technological curve is absolutely vital to me. I'm serious oh

but we can stay ahead of the technology curve by diverting some funds to argonne labs and the likes.  lockhead martin and boeing need to share the wealth jare.  i won't like though, the navy and airforce do donate a little something something to schools like mine.  the money just hasn't reached me yet.

Why now? don't you want to help the "inner-city" kids? where's your compassion Bawo? you must put your money life where your mouth is  Grin

i said crazy not stupid. inner city kids have to be saved from a safe non-violent distance 

Okija_juju:

This brings us back to the days of War Against Indiscipline.

I think the judgement was fair. Next time, those kids will vehemently refuse to go hawking when sent by their parents.

yeah because the kids have that much of a choice.

Aloy+Emeka:

He seized the whole thing after the demise of his father. Most of Abiola's children got nothing from their father's wealth. Of course the children of his four recognized wives got something but what they got is not even half of what is due to them. Even his own brother from Simbiat is struggling financially now.

they are adults, can't they fend for themselves? inheritance is a gift and not a priviledge, tell that to those lazy bums.

this is what sets aristocratic families in the west apart. they build on the achievements on their parents rather than waiting for trust fund hand outs.

times must be hard for nelson mandela  

one months in jail for hawking. wouldn't a fine/ticket be good enough?

Brownteeth:

The disobeyed an order and were punished. Whatelse?

unfair punishment. i don't the kids choose hawking because they thought it was fun

Nine hawkers who are minors were yesterday ordered to be flogged seven strokes of the cane while 21 others were sentenced to one month imprisonment by an Abuja mobile court for hawking in Abuja.

The minor hawkers are I.K Ochine, Salisu Ibrahim, Madu Mpam, Tunde Famakinde, Ibrahim Muhammed, Sahadu Adamu, Francis Isha, Suleiman Usman and Aminu Yakubu.

Those sentenced are Ubaka Okeke, Sanusi Mustapha, Awalu Yahaya, Hannatu Galadima, Abdul Usman, Abuchi Igwe, Nelson Madela, Umar Mahammudu, Chioma Ugwu, Isah Umar, Rabiu Muhammed Fatima Abubakar. Joy Joseph, Suleman Ibrahim, Adebayo Sade, Mustapha Ahmed, Murtala Sani Suleman Usman, Daudu Abdullahi, Nuhu Muhammed and Sahabiu Saidu


The prosecutor, Barrister Eze E. Eze, had earlier told the court that the accused persons were arrested by the task force of the Abuja Environmental Protection Board (AEPB) while hawking at road junctions and unauthorized places within the FCT, an offence punishable under Section 35 (1) of the AEPB Act No 10 of 1997.

The accused persons pleaded guilty when the charge was read to them and begged for leniency, promising not to do it again.

The prosecutor urged the court to try the accused persons summarily under Section 157 of the Criminal Procedure Code.


Magistrate Aminu Abdullahi sentenced each of the 21 hawkers to one month's imprisonment with an option of N3,000 fine and ordered that the minors be given seven strokes of cane.

The magistrate also ordered that the items seized from those sentenced should be released to them while those of the minors should not be released until they brought their parents.

this my friends is child welfare services nigerian style.
spare the rod, spoil the child.

lol affirmative action isn't for people who refuse to try.  make an effort then ask for equal participation.

licensed plumbers do make good money.

Some gurls are very good at crucifying anoda without checking out themselves first.

It is her destiny to be a 2nd wife. Whoever is not please with it should go and hug a burning tanker.

destiny, God's fate to be a 2nd wife? that's one strange destiny.

kokoye:

In this day and age. Yes it is.

Go find urs.

If you become a 2nd wife, you have automtically create enemies for yourself and your children without knowing it.

true

Endagered species? I'll tell you what's endangered - black men & women in high places of success. I don't care for some polar bear somewhere if the 2yr old in the ghetto has not had dinner.

what, my contacts at PETA would get back at you.  if someone approaches you with red paint, RUN.

Lol . . . see? the crazy twin brother is here. No such thing as free jor. Wake up dude 

i know it isn't free and that's why we shall take money from NASA and the army to get me a free medical marijuana card 
why send a rover to moon when a cheap LSD trip can take you there  [size=3pt]say no to drug kids[/size]

. I am willing to see a reduction in defense spending (along with other arms of govt) as long as it doesn't come at a cost of national security, at the cost of coming in 2nd in technological advancements.

what exactly is the national security threat. heck our home based terrorists are of more concern to me than china or some talibani dude.  the US is luckily protected by two oceans.  i personally do not see a reason why the army needs all these expensive toys (which we aren't gonna use anyway) in a time where state governments are struggle to fund health care and pension plans.

I know NASA scientists have been responsible for many discoveries ( can we say tempur-pedic beds  ) but these guys are wasteful

http://www.space.com/missionlaunches/missions/x33_cancel_010301.html

our airforce buddies have expensive, maintenance cost guzzling toys of their own too

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/03/02/AR2010030203930.html

I personally would like to see this money diverted to our national labs and research institutes or to rescue struggling state school boards like the one in Detroit.    landing on the moon or having the fastest warplane is not that much of a priority IMO.

There are croonies in every belief or ideological system. No be today jor . . . for every far-right 'nut', I'm willing to bet there are 2 far-left nuttier

a leftist is crazy by default.  where did you think those peace love and happiness hippies came from 
we have a lassez-faire perspective when compared to conservatives.

Well you live in Chicago, mecca of gangs, who wouldn't be for guns over there?

good thing i'm hiding in the suburbs.  those chicago agberos would tear me apart 

Black Caribbean school pupils have some of the worst GCSE results of any ethnic group in England.

and this is the field oxford must chose from. make dem go welding and plumbing school jare.

there is an american flag in the pictures though.  i've seen houses like this in the US before especially with the garage setting.

Osama was just an actor hired by America.He never really existed,he was there for a purpose and that purpose have been achived now they're trying to 'kill' his charector in this horror movie.

drop the crack pipe or LSD pill right now

SA Lady:

RSA I can here my echo in here. What's with the emptyness in this room.

Anyway howdy my brother lekker skaars?

are we supposed to be jealous of south africa's sucess?  this is news that should be celebrated without bringing some silly rivalry to it.

i think you south african posters on NL have an inferiority complex.   what part of we don't wish SA evil don't you guys understand.

RSA:



I guess it is becoming boring,same old ishh all the time.

Me and some of my friends decided to support Henry Okah during his court hearings,we will be picketing outside Joburg high court with placards declaring our support for people of Niger Delta.We would start with a group of ten and I hope that it will grow and attract media attentions.

Niger Deltans need our support SA LADY,and with our little knowledge on Nigeria 's politics we learned from Nairaland,I feel that we must play our role as South Africans in helping Niger Delta people attain their freedom and independence.

The spirit of Ken Sara Wiwa will be with us.

you might want to read some more on the niger delta issue. posters like ibime should be willing to help you.
don't be an assshole who supports an arms dealer and oil bunker.

goodness take it easy on your keyboard.

aysometin:

To those ladies supporting her, get married first and see how easy the thought of your hubby having a girlfirend feels. Not to talk of a second wife that goes on to give birth to the only son. Common we are all human.

i agree. mzdarkskin sounds a bit naive. i wonder how she would feel if her boyfriend marries another women while leaving her in the states.  one big happy family right? one beautiful/creepy thing about polygamous households is that the men have mistresses along with their WIVES. 

it's a mess to watch and lets not talk about inheritance tussles. 

His mother being a Cameroonian woman wants all of her sons to uphold the tradition how can i fight that with respect to her and my love for her son?

goodluck marrying into a traditional family. don't get a male child and watch them bring new wife from village 
you seem to have settled. good for you

what revelations did she get? what's the point of bringing it up if she refuses to tell you about it.

MzDarkSkin:

ABSOLUTELY. In fact I defend polygamy IF it is agreed to by all parties. I dont see anything wrong with it. My boyfriend is African and his father has 3 wives and LOTS of children! So in their family having big families is a tradition as well as polygamy. He himself doesn't have a desire to have more than one wife because "one is enough pain" LOL but on a serious note we have discussed the possibility.

interesting. i won't argue against that.

MzDarkSkin:

love how some women NEVER have anything positive to say about other women. The good thing is that she is still living her life regardless of how her feet look. God bless her and may her baby continue to be in good health . That's what really matters NOT her business.

would u let your husband get a second wife? are you fine with a polygamous household?

Negro_Ntns:

ahem, . . . .let me clear my throat . . ahem!!!

Bawo, are you sure?

are you saying some banks having paid back TARP money?

Aloy+Emeka:

Immigration got to Boston born-Ikoyi bred- Harvard law phenomenal son of a Nigerian mogul and lawmaker? Are you kiddin' me?

sjeezy is now someone biitch in kirikiri

i kid

Republicans will take back the house, lose the senate but will be totally ineffective. Did anyone get to read the republican "pledge" today? What a complete joke. They included cancellation of TARP as part of the "pledge"? Did someone not tell them that TARP by statute will become null and void by Oct 2, 2010? Grin I rest my case.

lots of banks have paid back their TARP money anyway.

heck we have made a profit if we sell our stock in GM today. those republicans get mouth jare.

what crazy twin brother.

all we want is our free healthcare (we would cut the defense bill by half to pay for it  ) , same sex loving, scrap dont ask don't tell, save those lovable endangered species and the right to smoke weed.
now is that to much 

the existence of bluedog democrats especially along the midwest is no secret.

on a serious note, if you conservatives are willing to cut the deficit then you must reduce defense spending like they doing over in the UK.  no more fancy warplanes that cost millions of dollars.
by the way, is this the lunatic you want as a leader?

she makes palin sound like a Rhodes scholar

i'm all for gun rights by the way.

Aloy+Emeka:

Unfortunately, you don't have Zimbabwean visa so you can answer billionaire for the first time in your life. Update your game, you never know, she may still consider you. Do you still see sjeezy here?. You know why?. He is now banging Tonto Dike after he bought her a Corvette.

who told you that. i thought immigration finally got to sjeezy.
my sources are better than yours.

Aloy+Emeka:

I am sure she can trap young & handsome Bawomolo if she wants but as Bawomolo no get pepper, no need.

Dublin ke?. I can go to Okoko and that one is enough for me.

see this village boy.  by the way i'm a wealthy man if you count my assets in zimbabwean dollars.

she gave the man a son, is that not fate

Aloy+Emeka:

Which kin God's fate. He married the man because of his millions period.

it's just paining you that you can't go to dublin.

go find your own millionaire.

queeneve:

I calls my good friend's son my lil future husband,

It didn't sit well with my present husband, I mean the baby is 9 months old!! My friend and I laughed every time I asked her about her son, I say how my lil husband doing,

I think people need to know the difference when somebody is PLAYING or someone is SERIOUS,

I guess to some people the titles are important, sighs,

you do have a point there. it reeks of insecurity if a man gets jealous of a 9 month old baby. that doesn't mean you should be calling every young man your future husband

Aloy+Emeka:


Girl, why are you wasting your life as the second best when there are men in every nook and cranny of the country who will weep and beg to marry you even with your peacock feet?.

why questions God's fate for her?

lol@thinking fate made you a 2nd wife.

just say you are desparate madam.

At first, I was like, ‘God, why did this have to happen to me?’ But today, I just give God the glory.

Ibime:

Just like any Republican (eg Schwarzenegger, Giulliani) campaigning in enlightened area will ape some liberal policies, any democrat campaigning in red neck areas must ape retrogressive red neck behaviour.

apalachian people are more hillbilly than redneck.

the personality worship witnessed in this thread is sickening. 

someone must have dropped me in north korea

Lock what? Something that has been in news not less than 5 years ago.
Businessday columnist, Iheduru, wrote about Emeagwali's fraudulent claims three weeks ago in his Businessday column. I'm highly surprised many people here are hearing about this on this thread/SR site for the first time.

The allegations need no further investigation. It is on whoever wants to disbelieve in it to opt so.

i believe most people are trying hard not to believe the allegations and then we have the defend my kinsman faction

haha they took her crackberry too.

One of the armed men who recognized her later threw a bundle of N50 000 into the car saying: ‘Jenifa, use that one to take care of yourself’.

cruel comedy.
