@Beaf

Stop making such statement. I believe you have never lived abroad where you have white KKKs and Rednakes who hated blacks for nothing. Who can kill at anytime.
The poster did the right thing

Really? Redneck is just a derogatory term like nigger.

I've never heard that the KKK either has a foothold in Europe or still operates in this modern age; I would be interested in where you source your claims.

Its a mind thing, bro.

Low self-esteem is what affected the OP, its the same thing that will make him hide behind tree's in the park when harmless people are passing by.

[size=14pt]11 cartons of explosives intercepted at Lagos airport[/size]

11 cartons of explosives intercepted at Lagos airport

A combined team of security agencies led by the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS),  Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) Command yesterday impounded 11  cartons of explosives weighing 95kg, which were smuggled into the country.

The 11 cartons of explosives labelled catridge powder devices and chargers were  flown in from South Africa on February 24, 2012, but vigilant personnel at the  Nigeria Aviation Company Limited (NAHCO) warehouse alerted security agents when they observed that the importer, wanted to smuggle the items out of the cargo  terminal without declaring them and without paying the relevant duty.

The Customs Area Controller in charge of the MMIA, Mr Charles Eporwei Edike, while  parading the suspect before journalists, explained that the importer, who claimed  to be a miner in Kaduna State, brought the explosives into Nigeria concealed in pallets made of other goods without disclosing the content to the relevant authorities.

This, he said, contravened the rules of the government and further fuelledthe suspicion that he connived with some clearing agents to take the explosives out of the cargo.

He explained that vigilant security agents at the terminal noticed that the goods  were undeclared explosives concealed with other goods and notified the  Customs, which in turn informed other relevant agencies, including the Nigeria Police, to carry out tests on the items, which were found to be prohibited  explosives.

He gave the name of the consignee as Miero Marble Granite and Stones Limited in  Kaduna State, with one Mr Michael Awara Ernest as the representative to collect the  explosives at the cargo terminal.

The Customs boss further gave the name of the manufacturer (consigner) of the  explosives as Nobleteq Arms and Ammunition Gateway Industrial Park in Centurion,  South Africa.

He explained that in view of the security challenges in the country, where members  of the dreaded Boko Haram sect have been unleashing mayhem on ordinary Nigerians,  it is prohibited for anybody or organisation to import any explosives into the country without the relevant approvals and permits.

The Customs boss explained that the explosives and other imported items like bullet proof jackets, security cameras and naval belts  had been handed  over to the police and other security agencies for proper investigation with a view to ascertaining the motive for importing them.

He said: “The explosives, according to our investigations, are meant for marine and offshore  operations. It is against the Explosives Act of 1964. The importer has violated all  existing regulations and even contravened the law.

‘’If these items were released to him, they could be used to cause mayhem. We  are now going to hand him and the items over to the police for further  investigation.”

shut up . they are muslims . so they want an emir. not an oba.

Why don't you have an Emir in Ibadan then, since they too are Muslims?
By the way, you just gave yourself out as someone with a fake Yoruba id (probably another incarnation of alj haram).

On a more serious note. I think it makes sense for those of us whose ideals are against these Islamist extremists to build a consensus against every evil they represent. That is why some of us would appreciate if we could have a convergence of opinion on what is right and wrong rather than opinions jaundiced by triabalism as Beaf and some elements on NL are known for.[/quote]The words in bold sum up an attitude that is best described as shooting yourself in the foot. Everybody is targetted by boko haram, but the excruciatingly poor ACN leadership has driven wedges between the Souths political blocks. I am happy that the President specifically issued a warning to that party over their uncivilised utterances.

Why do you think SE/SS people prefer to talk with Mrs. H.I.D. Awolowo rather than any jumped up clown that is in reverse gear and wanting to take down the entire South when they crash?

“I have said it before and I will continue to reinforce it; Nigeria is a forced union and such cannot stand the test of time. Very soon, we in the Niger Delta shall commence what we call Operation Occupy Niger Delta Resources; once that starts, we shall lead a protest to the President with a warning that no dime of our oil money should henceforth, be sent to the north which has all these years, criminally manipulated the Nigerian state to the extent of claiming more population than the south, a situation that has resulted in the parasitic accumulation of our resources to their desolate local government areas which are mere structural entities without human beings.

It is now time for both the UN and the AU to come to Nigeria and conduct a scientific population analysis of the country; I make bold to say that Kano state is not more populated than Bayelsa not to talk of Lagos state. This is the fraud they have used to criminally determine the sharing of resources. As it stands today, we are getting very close to the point that we shall inevitably be on a collision course with our brother, Jonathan because we shall not fold our hands and allow this provocation to continue beyond now. Let the north go its own way and the others should also determine their future. To say the least, the outburst of the northern governors is not only a lazy and parasitic one, it is highly provocative and we are close to the situation where each region will control its resources.”

Damn!

Lucky SOBs should thank God we did not package MTN with their deported craps.

It is the same thing some of us have been saying; most Nigerians (including the governors) actually think that governors and LG chairmen are elected to be mere decorations whose only role is to head for Abuja on a monthly basis, plate in hand. Our governors (except the like of Akpabio, Amaechi, Chime, Oshiomole, Lamido, Fashola and maybe Rhochas) are just a waste of time and a sad embarrassment. Needless to say, the Northern governors have proven themselves to be the worst of the lot, first by inaction and now by disgraceful utterance.

[size=14pt]Revenue allocation: Look inward for more money, Jonathan tells Northern governors[/size]
By Yomi Odunuga and Daniel Essiet, Makurdi
Jonathan Jonathan

Governors who are pushing for a readjustment of the revenue sharing formula got a  a candid advice from President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday: they should develop the natural resources in their states to generate more funds instead of relying on the shares from oil exploitation.

The President believes that if the states partner with the private sector and create the enabling environment for investment to thrive, there would be less emphasis on the oil revenues, as most of the states would be self-sufficient.

He therefore urged the state governments to draw up an agenda aimed at reviving the dead sectors of the economy.

Jonathan spoke in Makurdi, the Benue State capital yesterday during the commissioning of Teragro, a subsidiary of Transnational Corporation of Nigeria (Transcorp) and the first fruit concentrates processing factory in the country.

Following the dismal poverty rate released by the Bureau of Statistics recently, the 19 governors of the northern states called for a review of the revenue formula they said was in favour of some states, particularly the oil-producing states in the South-South.

The President’s statement is seen as a veiled response to the push for a review of the revenue allocation formula, including the derivation sharing ratio; a development that has divided the governors along regional lines.

The President said: “We have resources in all parts of the country to sell. All states of the federation have products they can export.  The governors should work with private sector operators to produce and sell what they have not only to Nigerians but also for export.

“Nigeria is an agro-based economy even before the civil war and that is why they did not borrow money to prosecute the war.  We should be able to revive this process like it happened in those period where oil is not an issue.

“If we create the enabling environment and liase with the private sector, people will not need to steal or go into 419 before they can make it.”

Arguing that the tranformation agenda of the administration would be based on the involvement of the private sector in developing the economy, the President described the commissioning of the factory as “good example of all we have been doing.”

“The idea is good because if you get concentrates, it will be easy to export since it is always difficult to export raw fruits.

He commended the state governor, Gabriel Suswam, for seeing that a factory that could not be commissioned by former President Olusegun Obasanjo in 2007 was finally made to work with the patnership of the private sector.

Earlier in his speech, the Chairman of Transcorp, Mr. Tony Elumelu, said the corporation decided to venture into the agro business as a way of pushing forward the tranformation agenda of the administration and generate employment for the generality of Nigerians.

“What we are doing today is an answer to your call for transformation starting with agriculture. We will conserve foreign exchange with the commissioning of this factory and we are also planning to export fruit concentrates abroad.

“Already, we are getting calls from Europe amd elsewhere and they have shown interest in what we are doing.”

What survival instinct? Do you think Europe is a jungle full of animals who just kill Nigerians at random? You think it is Iraq? Your story is absolutely ridiculous.
Low self-esteem is a prison that makes one run when there is no danger, change their names and adopt annoyingly fake accents when nobody really gives a phuck if you are from the Moon or Jupiter.

Low self-esteem is a prison that makes foragers out of individuals that would normally be talented.

I recall that there was a boko haram financier or terrorism connected businessman arrested in Lagos earlier this year. Anyone know what happened with his case?

colomb:
Anybody thinking kwara a state with about 80 yoruba obas and just 4 emirs would align with the North in the course of the country's breaking-up gotta be kidding himself. Even till date, my village still owning to convention still pay tributaries to Oyo (Alaafin), That almajiri man talking might be a lunatic sha.

I know Ilorin quite well and have always marvelled at how tolerant the folk are to have an Emir. It is times like this that show that level of tolerance to be a grave error.
Even if the Emir claims to be a Yoruba (na lie, he is Fulani), there is no reason on Earth why at the very least, his title does not become [b]Oba [/b]instead. Enforce it.
A foreign title represents something unwholesome (certainly, Junaid Mohammed see's it that way).

nasty45:
i pray u find yourself in a position worst than that of the poster.ppl lyk u sounds bold bt r weakling in real life.i wonder hw the real u is feelin right now.EEEEED.IOT

Fool. What situation did the OP find himself in, except for the prison of low self-esteem that his mind has become?
Do I need to repeat that at this very mo, I am posting from Europe? I am not hiding, I will speak Isoko, Urhobo, Yoruba, Pidgin on my phone without giving a damn, becuase no one gives a phuck. Rather, if your mind is phucked then you start running away from your shadow and claiming to be "Malcom Jim-White" (with annoyingly fake accent to match) whereas your parents named you Onome Esajere and you grew up in Warri.

Crap.

If Obama behaved so foolishly, do you think he would be in the White House today with two non-English names? Its the mind, bro.

That Junaid Mohammed is a clown of the highest order. It is easy to see what he was attempting anyway; in his shallow mind, he thought that Yoruba's, Ebira's and Igala's would not respond with one voice.
Who wants to be in the same country with the likes of Junaid Mohammed who see nothing wrong in stuff like generating 10 million almajiri's and "marrying" 10 year old girls?

Why are we blaming this guy, we all have at a point denied our nationality for good reasons. E.g if you are dating/chatting/trading or even advertising online, the moment you mention Nigeria,, wow people(from other countries) become skeptic.

God forbid.
Sorry, I have never and will never, let heaven fall,

The sect had chosen some southern cities such as Lagos, Ibadan, Enugu, Onitsha and Warri for attacks.

I recall some months ago that some people were arguing that boko haram was a problem between the SS and core-North and they in the SW should only sit and watch. I hope the advocates of such a dangerous position have since done a full rethink, because it only exposes them to danger and unpreparedness in any eventuality.
It is folly to think one can watch events in Nigeria without getting involved. The entire South and Middle Belt need to act as one.

You people talk bullshit. Who would have killed him? It is only in Nigeria that people act so brutishly, but maybe the OP has only spent his first couple of days abroad and thinks he needs to hide and play the fool.
It sounds so ridiculous.

The argument is not about if it is the best or worst city in the World. And I say, its got lovely places, but right now the task at hand is tao tackle a simple question: does it have creeks and swamps?
If you cannot find the courage to admit such an obvious fact, then you are revealing a counterfeit life and most likely, the roots of ethnic bigotry. That is what this thread is about.

pc guru:
Seriously Beaf i think i you need to tone down a bit i've been hearing about not even from nairaland but from My Work place and friends who ave met i always assume they exaggerate but after going through your posts. speechless

Firstly, cut the crap and get a life.
Secondly, I will re-emphasise that it takes incredibly low self-esteem to deny your country and heritage. Dude, it is sacrilege if you don't know.
What will the OP deny next? His village, wife, mum, dad? What next?

I will soon head out to Tesco where there are nuff TV's and I will be speaking in my 9ja accent and proudly representing if anybody bothers to ask. Dude, nobody gives a phuck, at best they only want to gain more insight by asking you. Much more fuckry happens in their own countries anyway, cos its 14 and 15 years olds doing the stabbing, drugs and getting pregnant; yet they don't deny who they are.

nasty45:
u sound as a slowpoke.in d situation e found himself e nid to deny wr's frm.even a foreigner wil do same if found in such situation.

When there are gruesome crimes in the West, have you ever approached any oyimbo in Lagos and he denied his country? Did Germans deny who they were after WWII? If you ever deny your country, then even though there are no physical chains on you, you are worse than a slave with no redemption in sight.

You are just another id!ot with zero self esteem. Guess where I was yesterday evening? Outdoors in some European country, freely chatting Yoruba with a couple of friends. And because we had to block the path, we had to converse with everyone that came through (white, black, asian etc). . . And you guessed right again. . . We did it in our damn Nigerian accents without a second thought! And it wasn't as if there were no TV's around reeling off the news.

Apparently, somebody obviously forgot to tell us to pretend we were "Bri ish" or "Ameriken." Neither did any oyinbo lose respect for us.

There is something mysterious about being inflicted with such a bad case of inferiority complex that you feel the need to apologise for crimes you did not commit and deny your culture/identity out of the shame of boko haram when you are not even a member. I can bet that if someone like you ever leaves Nigeria as Oguntoye Adetiloye, they would become "Victor Jack-Smith," because "oyimbo cannot pronounce my name."

It is fools like you guys that give the country a bad name.

Lolzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!

You are just mad at being proven to being a citizen of the creeks and swamps like mua.
Lets talk about our swamps, bruv. No?

Next time they will have better manners.

Police have to sign for their guns, so forcing them off their road blocks means they now have no legitimate reason to sign for weapons.
Could this mean that some of them were signing for guns in the pretext of using them at road blocks, but using them in armed robberies instead? That might well explain the drop in armed robbery incidents.

Do you know most of the people in the Lagos creeks, are either, Egun, Ilaje,Itsekiri or Ijaw.

Thank you, I don't understand why people have to lie because they cannot face reality of their ridiculous ironies. Its just best not to be derogatory toward any ethnic group than to have to make utterly ridiculous arguments.

Imagine Itsekiri villages's in lagos! It just gets more ridiculous.

Dude, regardless of if there are Isoko, Annang, Ibibio, Hausa, American and Germans there, it doesn't take one bit from the ironclad fact that there are as many swamps and creeks in Lagos as there are in ND environments. We are all creek creatures and swamp citizens.
