^^^ You obviously didn't get the memo.

You probably might find it difficult buying games for the Xbox now so be mindful of the purchase.

Now the OP should thank PapaBrowne and co for educating him.

Another failed thread here.

The title of this thread sounds Dame P-like. Who Are Worse: Nigerian Citizens or the Nigerian Government

Yet this makes the front page!

The greatest conspiracy theorists are here on NL.

@ Beaf,

Is dt all u can say? U r a gross disappointment. I hv learnt to take Becomerich more serious dn u.

Very very trollish. What do you stand to gain by making inflammatory comments?

I say hide her completely and our lives would be better for it.

olojoro:
So basically we should hide her from the public because we are insecure about that?

By all means YES!!

Krayola:
I am Nigerian, and I am not embarrassed by the speech. She read the speech well. Maybe not in the most fashionable manner, but she was clear enough in her delivery that understanding her was not difficult. What part of the speech were you unable to understand? Abeg tell me so that I can go and check if I'm missing something.

BTW how has she used force to embarrass us, Mr English expert?

I am embarrassed that some Nigerians are embarrassed by "Nigerianness" though.

Are you saying that her terrible speech delivery is Nigerian? Thats an insult if so.  We (by we I mean the rest of the Nigerian population that do not support mediocrity) expect our first lady to communicate like a well schooled adult. We expect eloquence and not that halting delivery that is reminiscent of a child suffering from dyslexia. We expect and demand so much more. . .Are these tall expectations? Yes, but recall that to whom much is given much is expected.

Now if she can't read a simple prepared speech smoothly then let her not even bother to make speeches in the first place. She has ample resources to better herself if she so desires, but first she has to acknowledge the fact that she has a problem. This is what we saying on this thread and its a pity that many people will like to deny the obvious. No wonder her handers probably don't see anything wrong here.

Krayola:
WHy the hell should she "lay low" because of your petty insecurities? Are you guys for real?

Again we ask: should she subject the rest of the Nigerian populace to such embarrassment by force? This is the first lady of the federal republic of Nigeria we are talking about. Whether her role is recognized constitutionally or not she should stay clear of microphones and public speech making till she improves her reading ability. Simple.

Na by force say she must recite speech?

Please don't tow the stutterer line here, Patience is obviously not one. I bet she speaks her native language fluently however thats not the case here. Her reading of a prepared speech was terrible, it was not because she was born with any speech impediments, that much is clear. Her command of the English language - Nigeria's official language - is very poor so thats why her speech delivery came out all forms of bad.

^^ No mind them.

ADint:
I[b]So because she is not fluid and articulate in English she should not speak in public?? [/b]

YES! It is not compulsory that she speaks in public. Why should she disgrace the country like that.

ADint:
She is communicating enough for anyone who is not looking at her with a preconceived judgemental and prejudiced mindset. It was eloquent and articulate people that have always brought the world to its knees, be it through Wars or complex financial manipulation the result of which we are experiencing world wide today.

So since it is eloquent and articulate people who have brought the world to its knees we should now hail the mediocre and terrible public speakers as the new messiahs? A failure of logic I tell you if we reason that way.

It is pitiful that one tries to defend what is apparently an embarrassing condition, the woman should stay away from microphones or if that is unavoidable (which it is not) get first rate teachers to school her in the art of public speaking.

Beaf:
Dude, actions speak louder than words; from what you have put out so far, I do not expect you to understand that; but several people are reading these pages and defining you.

Like we have all read your pages and have defined you eh? I can imagine the type of definition the majority of readers have about a certain someone

^^ If she never dreamt of being a first lady then she should spare us all the embarrassment and stay away from public speaking.

Currently Sony's performance in the phone market has been anything but impressive and I'd be amazed if they find success with this new phone. Now the NGP, thats where I see them making a hit. Its obviously a response to the 3DS. . . but without any mention of 3D gaming

Are you waiting for the mod to announce this latest development when he has been busy dropping trollish lines in the political forum.

ElRazur:
Let's not forget that the Sony playstation phone will be another platform for gaming. Abeg no dey talk iphone. Una days are numbered.

I think the PSPhone will probably be a modest platform for gaming but will fail as a phone just like the planned facebook phone. My prediction.

Orikinla:
PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE.

Don't blame Dame Patience Goodluck EBELE AZIKIWE JONATHAN,
Blame the husband who has a Ph.D, but cannot teach his wife to read like a well educated DAME!

When he was launching his Bring Back the Book campaign with Ben Murray-Bruce all over him like a body guard, he should have started from his bedroom.
Charity begins at home.

GEJ: Patience darling
PATIENCE: Yes, Goody.
GEJ: Have you read "My Friends And I - Conversations on Policy And Governance Via Facebook'"?
PATIENCE: Goody, I beg. Na book I com read for Aso Villa. I wan go Dubai o for Valentine shopping oh.
(Before GEJ says, "Okrika wake up", PATIENCE wraps her thighs around him and he is speechless.)

Okrika wake up indeed.  

I can guarantee you that Uniport will have a great time frustrating whatever plans you have made.

Abia is in need of a saviour, so much has gone wrong over the years.

More than half of the Mugabe lovers here who claim that they rest of the world has been brainwashed by the west are actually speaking from their own prejudice. How many of them have actually been to Zimbabwe to see how its citizens are faring under Mugabe's rule, yet it is convenient to sound off one propaganda against another.

As usual anybody who does not agree with their point of view will be labelled a traitor and hater.

Here's an advice to everyone; do away with sentiments and judge from unbiased facts

oyb:
enter the new nollywood blockbuster - the 'first lady's speech'

You know the government will ban that movie where it ever released. It wasn't for movies like this that the C-in-C offered to donate N200 million to the entertainment industry you know.

But seriously after watching the First Lady read that speech. . .

Cringe Cringe! !

kcjazz:
Chei! Are you serious? What are the embassies doing? And what influence exactly is it that she needs, free Delta flight discounts or bringing diasporans home? Didn't you hear that the cost of running government needs to be reduced? What next? Facebook media relations officers and adviser.

No Russian. Real life Modern Warfare.

My people the issue of cost of living in PH is not some thing to write home about.I used to live in PH and i have never had such experience before,even in Abuja food items are cheaper to compare to PH. The worst part of it is that there are no good roads,electricity,no decent kele for that city and i think one of the dirtiest city in Nigeria.I began wondering why they call it garden city or oil city,when ever it rains you can be in traffic for up to 5hrs trying to get home and if you are not careful you might be carried away by current from the rain.I want to ask most of the residents of PH what they feel about that city and what are they thinking of doing to make that place habitable for them selves before they implore others to visit or relocate there.

You obviously haven't been there in recent times have you?

dante147:
From my own opinion i if He claimed that it's God calling for him to abandon his role of winning soul to Christ, then deviating into partisan politics surely we are going to know by his fruit, Because the Bible made us to know that by their fruit we shall know them!!!!!!!!! Apparently i will not see any good reason in this that God call him then same God is placing Behind a Muslim which lack the Grace that Christians carry, there is a big ??  Maybe same God wanna kill Buhary once they finally get there so that we will then be the head, Because as a Christians we are always the head and not the tail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This type of reasoning brings shame to Christianity, do you know that?

[quote author=EzeUche_ link=topic=591681.msg7593634#msg7593634 date=1295883553]Execute them all then. I think 90% of all Nigerian politicians are corrupt in a way. Or we should look at in this way. If you weren't wealthy when you entered Nigerian politics, but now you are wealthy, then that should be a red flag.[/quote]Even though it is understandable that is an unfair generalization.

Besides if we are really intent on doing away with corruption what about the followers (i.e non-politicians). Do the corrupt politicians get to the office they occupy solely by their own means? Many of us are involved in this than we will admit, its just convenient to blame it all on the politicians.

We humans just don't get it, our Creator has no concern with politics. We are all permitted to follow our desires as long as they are with the framework of the natural principles (i.e. Justice and Love) that guide everything. That is why it is not proper for anyone to drag the name of their Creator into matters like this. Who among the political candidates will not claim that they have been ordained?

As always we find new ways to exploit and disrespect that which should remain sacred.  

[quote author=EzeUche_ link=topic=591681.msg7593226#msg7593226 date=1295879515]We definitely need to execute corrupt officials. No tolerance for corruption should be our motto. And some Nigerians need to stop celebrating these looters. In a civilized democracy, IBB, OBJ, Gowon, Atiku etc would have been executed or thrown in jail for life.[/quote]Execute corrupt officials. Hmmm where does one start? Here's a hint; let him who has no sin cast the first stone.

Off topic but I just had to state here that I can see that the OP is none other than B**F. Gosh you can never hide certain things in this life.

This was just a comical digression, I mean no harm.
