adamabdul:
The people of borno are not hausas and the shehu of borno cant even speak hausa

Lol!
Shehu is a Hausa word. No?

Maximip:
I noticed that we hear a Nigerian name and easily tell where the person is from ie Emeka (South east) , Bayo (South west), etc. sometimes it's because we've heard the name before and learnt it's from a particular region and at other times, we can still tell just hearing the name for the first time.

Can you write a computer program to do same. take a name as input and outputs where the person is from? I think it'll be an interesting problem.

It shouldn't be too difficult. At the most basic, we would need a few weighted rules about use of vowels and consonants e.g. a name like "Wumi" would be most likely Yoruba, because of the combination of w and u, while "Walid" would be most likely Arabic, because of the combination of w and a, as well as i and d.

If we could add an algorithm like Momel to read the pitch of the vowels, then we would have added intonation to our arsenal! We could weight the pith of vowels by language according to if the tend downwards or upwards. For example, if we are presented with a word with 3 straight dips in intonation eg "Ikebe," "Oghene," "Urhobo," "Isoko" we could guess the language is Urhobo and not be far wrong.

A little AI will sort it out.

Some powerful people made plans and afterwards orchestrated a sham and called it primaries. Since the rest of us were not informed of these machinations, we went round the country soliciting for support not knowing that we were sent out to dance in the rain by a cabal. I can no longer be part of the joke.

“The effect of what I stated above is that ACN consolidated as a regional party. Those of us from the North wanted to be members of a party with national spread. This unfortunate trend continues till date. Some people feel the party is their personal estate, designed for the amassing of power and wealth to the detriment of members and Nigerians,”

This neatly sums up ACN. Ethnically bigoted, regional and terribly corrupt.
Welcome to fascism.

[size=14pt]Bafarawa to ACN: You can’t query me[/size]
On November 19, 2011 · In News
By Paul Odenyi, Abuja

Apparently miffed by what he saw as an attempt to denigrate or belittle him and other northern elements within the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, former Governor of Sokoto state, Alhaji Attahiru Bafarawa yesterday gave reasons why he left the ACN, a party he sought to fly its flag for the last April Presidential election saying the party no longer serves his needs and those of his supporters, as it is being run by a cabal whose main interest was to amass wealth and power at the detriment of other Nigerians.

He also reminded the ACN that he was never an employee of it and therefore cannot be issued with querries in the manner of superiors and subordinates.

He told Saturday Vanguard yesterday that upon his return from Hajj on Sunday November 13, 2011 he received a query dated November 9, 2011 and signed by the Deputy National Chairman of the party, Mr. Boss Mustapha asking him to explain why he had stayed away from the activities of the party since after the party’s national convention in Lagos despite several invitations to him to attend such events.

He was also asked to explain why he has been deploying his resources to organize some elements within the party in the northern part of the country, a move which the party sees as detracting from cohesion and discipline which the party is known for.

The ACN query to Bafarawa reads: “it would be recalled that after the ACN 2011 Presidential Convention held in Lagos, you have inspite of many contacts stayed away from all the activities of the party, including attending meetings of the National Caucus to which you have contributed to in the past.

’’Whilst the party decided to wait inorder to give you room to address whatever misgivings being nursed against our party leaders, and also enable effective and genuine reconciliation, we have observed in recent months that you are deploying your enormous resources in attempting to group together states’ apparatuses of our party in the Northwest zone with a view to undermining its structure.

“This action of yours is certainly not in the interest of the party and neither can it be in your own long term interest and would therefore not be tolerated. This letter is therefore, to seek your explanation and to state for the umpteenth time that as a leading opposition party, it is only discipline, total dedication and commitment that can enable our party stand up to the marauding PDP government and ultimately take over power from them.

“While appreciating your past contributions, it would be appreciated if your comments can reach us not later than one week from now.”

For the former Presidential candidate of the Democratic Peoples Party, DPP, the query from his party was insulting and he therefore, resigned.

His resignation letter addressed to Chief Bisi Akande, National Chairman of the party and dated November 14, 2011 was received at the ACN headquarters last Tuesday.

Bafarawa explained in his letter that his decision to quit the party along with his supporters stemmed from the belief that the ACN platform no longer served their need. He reminded chief Akande that his entry into the party followed talks between him and other political big wigs including the former Head of State, General Mohammadu Buhari and former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, on the possibility forming a broad based political party which unfortunately never materialized.

He said that with the abortion of that plan, he had remained with the ACN in clear manifestation of his character to stay with anything he was committed to.

‘’As you may recall, former Head of State, General Mohammadu Buhari, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and I, were among those who joined hands with you to form the mega party capable of wresting power from the PDP. At some point, Gen Buhari and VP Atiku Abubakar left. I remained. That is clear manifestation of my character; once committed to anything I give it my all. It is therefore an insult for anybody to suggest that I would pull down, from inside, a house I contributed in building.

“The letter directed me to respond within one week to the spurious allegations. This attitude reminds me of what my supporters and I, suffered during the last party primaries. Some powerful people made plans and afterwards orchestrated a sham and called it primaries. Since the rest of us were not informed of these machinations, we went round the country soliciting for support not knowing that we were sent out to dance in the rain by a cabal. I can no longer be part of the joke.

“The effect of what I stated above is that ACN consolidated as a regional party. Those of us from the North wanted to be members of a party with national spread. This unfortunate trend continues till date. Some people feel the party is their personal estate, designed for the amassing of power and wealth to the detriment of members and Nigerians,” Alhaji Bafarawa concluded.

Whenever it happens, all special forces that come in will be black and will speak Hausa better than the Shehu of Borno. That is the way America operates everywhere, for example, there were special forces living in Iraq for several months before the Gulf war; they dressed like Arabs, behaved Arabic and spoke Arabic. Same thing happened in Pakistan with the killing of Bin Laden (by the way, Pakistan is a nuclear power that is several times stronger than Nigeria militarily).

Boko haram has been seeking US attention, especially with the UN bombing. At some point, America is bound to respond.

Demdem:
Good to see u trying to grow up. U obviously learnt a good lesson from the KGB / FSB thread.

What are you talking about, fool?

Beaf:
Nice, if its true.

The reason I made this non-commital statement earlier, is that Sahara Reporters is known for telling outright lies. I wouldn't be surprised if there is no shred of truth in the article.
That said, it is only a matter of time before we see direct US involvement in one form or the other.

Nice, if its true.

Lol! Poor lil CyberG, the great coward. See how he has been reduced to typing in super-size red font. Its a small d.i.c.k matter, we first saw it when the crude babe, Paroh_Frey reduced him to a mumbling wreck that couldn't even visit his own country out of paralysed fear. Now we see it again, blazing red cowardice with no morals and a large mouth, and of course, a tiny lil d.i'c'k with absent balls.

CyberG:
Shitluck done shait, so you came out for few mins?? HAHAHA. . .carry go, enter him Bottom again! Worry NOT, una never rich! Paroh_Frey and Depilot died with Yaradua too so when Goofluck Jonagaffe is expelled, all his worms like you go follow am!

Those two names really make you pee your pants through your tiny lil d.i.c.k. Really funny stuff.
You were so scared of Paroh_Frey that you couldn't even come back home. Its as if your foul-mouthedness is an essential hobby to deflect from your weak and useless "toolbox." I can remember how you almost started begging Paroh_Frey. Just so you could come to your own country for xmas! Damn!

Carry go! Cowards die many times and empty barells make the most noise.

I'd have gone along with the all drama if not for the "degrade all women" part.
Even a country that practices Sharia does not outrightly and bluntly demand for the "degradation of women".
Whatever emotions this article is trying to get out of people, they failed with me. Many will fall for this, which will be such a shame.

I'd have to be one cold heartless woman to support Boko haram, but I understand them. Understanding is not caring, nor is it supporting.[/quote]What would be the goal of such "propaganda?" I don't see the need for propaganda against boko haram. To what end? To gain what?

3 months salary owed to workers and the governor says it is not his responsibility? Damn!

“We thank God today that contrary to what we met on ground when they were borrowing before paying the workers, [size=14pt]we have sufficient fund to pay workers now. This administration has saved N22 billion in less than a year[/size]. So, the question is why a government with this resources, will withhold workers’ salaries? Odewumi questioned.

Unbelievable!

So why are you owing 3 bloody months salaries, sir?!! Will Osun state workers get anything for xmas and the new year? Aregbesola's shocking irresponsibility is so heartbreaking.
Bewildering shiit! Can someone explain the RASCALS new high story?

[size=14pt]Govt Not Responsible For Delay In Salary – Aregbesola [/size]

Osun State Governor Rauf Aregbesola has explained last Saturday that his administration was not responsible for the delay in the payment of salaries and allowances of the workers as insinuated by the members of the public.

According to him, any government that is interested in accelerated development, will regularly pay all the entitlements of workers with a view to motivating them.

Aregbesola made the clarification at the 19th Anniversary of Ipetu Ijesha 2011 Day celebration, held at the Elefusan School of Science, Ipetu Ijesa in Oriade Local Government Council Area of the state.

The governor, who was represented by his Special Adviser on Local Government, Chieftaincy Matter and Rural Development, Honourable Bisi Odewumi, condemned the cynicism surrounding the payment of workers’ salaries.

He said; “it is important to dismiss the rumor in the state that Governor Aregbesola has refused to pay workers’ salaries.

These rumor mongers have lost their sense of judgment to even question what the governor would gain by not paying the workers.”

“We thank God today that contrary to what we met on ground when they were borrowing before paying the workers, we have sufficient fund to pay workers now. This administration has saved N22 billion in less than a year. So, the question is why a government with this resources, will withhold workers’ salaries? Odewumi questioned.

He attributed the problem to the delay in the preparation of vouchers form the government agencies and parastatals.

“When the workers resumed after the strike action, it was an arduous task for them to prepare the vouchers of three months with the new salary scales approved by the state government and if there was no document to approve for payment, how then can they get their salaries?” The role of the governor is to sign and he is ready to do it at any time,” he submitted.

Odewumi urged the people to ignore the rumour and support the transformational agenda of the current government in the state.

Explaining the efforts of the government on transportation and agriculture, he said the partnership of the Osun State government and the Nigeria Railway Corporation is already succeeding.

He said for the first time in the last eight years, train arrived Osogbo last week with heavy load of cement.

The governor’s special adviser added that the rail system will assist in transportation of farm produce to urban cities and the goods exchange strategies with other South West States.

[quote author=Ileke-IdI link=topic=806701.msg9587324#msg9587324 date=1321652942]I dont believe this ish. Either boko haram is now being politicized or something more is going on behind closed doors.

Too bad the media only feeds us what they want us to know.

This is too much. I doubt boko harams are behind the bolded. I mean, haba! "To degrade women"? Doesnt even make sense with the whole scenario.

Tell us another story, plz.[/quote]Sometimes, you shock me. Do you argue for boko haram these days?
In any sharia state, women are "degraded." In countries like Saudi Arabia, women cannot vote or even drive cars. Boko haram has always called for the constitution to be replaced by sharia, there is nothing new in their latest bizare request.

Groups like boko haram feel very threatened by women in power, that is only amplified by the fact that the present govt has women occupying the most powerful positions after the President; Deziani Allison Madueke (petroleum), Okonjo Iweala (finace). The govt also features the first ever female Reps majority leader (Mulikat Akande-Adeola), indeed, she would have been speaker if not for rebelion in the house of reps.
There are people with weak d'i'c'ks who feel extremely threatened by such ascension and will justify their fight with pseudo-religious reasons.

The group's spokesperson said that Baana, a successful businessman who left behind a wife and a son, was seen as a martyr because he was barely four days in the group before he pleaded to be allowed to carry out the act on the anti terrorism building.

Why would a successful businessman join a group only to commit a suicide bombing? Something doesn't ring right about that.
There is the question of trust. Why would boko haram trust a four day old recruit whom they would barely have checked out, to carry out a suicide bombing without bottling it and spilling every name he knows? How could they be sure such an eager recruit was not an infiltrator?
It doesn't end there, how could a man join a group and get straight up the ladder to the organisers of suicide bombings?

There are too many questions. The only answers that come to mind are that; he was either handed to boko haram as a fulfilled terrorist by groups boko haram trusts, such as al qaeda (most plausible explanation) or he was murdered.

[size=14pt]Boko Haram give terms for negotiation[/size]
Says recipe for peace is the unconditional release of arrested members
Article | November 18, 2011 - 11:55am | By Ibrahim Bello

https://dailytimes.com.ng/sites/default/files/imagecache/400xY/boko-haram_4.jpg

The radical Islamist sect, popularly known as Boko Haram, has said that they will not dialogue with the Federal Government (FG) until all their members who have been arrested are released.

Spokesperson of the group, Abul Qaqa, who disclosed the groups demands on Thursday called on President Goodluck Jonathan; Senate President, David Mark; Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal; and the Attorney General  and Minister of Justice, Mohammed Bello Adoke, to respond to their request or they would not relent in their attacks.

According to Qaqa: "The recipe for peace is the unconditional release of our members".

He, also revealed the identities of two suicide bombers who attacked the Joint Task Force headquarters (JTF) in Maiduguri and the Anti Terrorism two- storey building in Damaturu, as Usman alias Baana and Abi Yusuf, 26.

The group's spokesperson said that Baana, a successful businessman who left behind a wife and a son, was seen as a martyr because he was barely four days in the group before he pleaded to be allowed to carry out the act on the anti terrorism building.

He also revealed that Yusuf was responsible for the bombing of the JTF headquarters in Maiduguri.

“He was also a martyr whom we are going to miss a lot because of his outstanding mastery of how to improvise explosives,” Qaqa said.

Other demands of the group include, "Islam reigns supreme, and Sharia replaces the Constitution; all women are degraded; all ties with the Western World are severed".

Why are threads like this allowed? https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-623460.0.html

Firstly, this should be in the foreign affairs section. Secondly, I don't see why we should be more worried than the Francophone people who do everything to be seen as French and will sell their parents to go on pilgrimage to Paris.
France is not to blame for modern day colonialism, it is the black man that has sold his soul and refused to open his eyes.

You think we can't remember how you were basically begging Paroh_Frey to spare you? And how she went out of her way to console you and tell you how to pack heat in 9ja?
The rest of us anti-cabal folk were deeply ashamed of you.

Yes, I've been seeing animals indeed! Jackals, vultures, hyena's. . . People just like you, sir!
You guy's sound so bitter, drained and clueless from losing the power to plunder the common man. Jackals, vultures, hyena's, bloodsuckers, parasites always act to type; they get very bitter when their sucking straws have been confiscated. Hatred and bitterness have seized up your souls and you totally fail to sound objective or sensible; all your threads are a contest to find who can offer the most senseless insult against GEJ for no reason. Lol! . . .Vulture contest!

Losers.

The correct word here is etrhnic bigotry. Check where his "bashers" are from. Funny shyte going on!

Vulture party in full swing.

I can't see anyplace where the court stopped the primaries. But when there are oyb's and their flies on the thread, any far stretched conclusion is aight!
The court has asked PDP to provide the reason why Sylva was disqualified in 72 hours, it is only if PDP does not send a rep to the court the primaries will not hold.

English na problem for some pipul sha! Maybe we should try posting in Engrrrrrrrrrrrriiiisss for their benefit. LOLZZZ!!!
