what do you expect from the chairman of oshodi local government?the local government in charge of a sizeable number of the area boys situated in lagos, the guy should sue i am sure the man will be made to pay for it in court.this is how the minions of a local government chairman beat up a friend of my dad in illesha.the injuries the man sustained led to his eventual death in a london hospital

cycober:
Do you know what i just realised? The 2015 prediction of nigeria's doom is chillingly getting realistic. Seriously, come to think of it. Intensive military action in some states, (maybe) U.N or american involvement(God forbid), then more violence, and before you know it, influencial people will start to call for seperation, and some U.N resolutions later, for the first time, i really feel like my country is in trouble/danger.

[size=14pt]sorry to break it to you bro - Qadaffi is NOT dead[/size] - he's too intelligent to allow himself be captured by a gang of bloodthirsty hyenas, russia was secretly backing Qadaffi and Qadaffi even had eastern european mercenaries fighting for him plus his security was water tight. 

come on beaf i thought you were cleverer than that - you mean you beleived all that trash about him being fished out of a sewer (what a coincidence!) and then being executed by one of the rebels with his own gold plated gun!! jeez beaf - how gullible are you?  that is sooooooo james bond!!!

The desert fox is alive and well cooling his heels in a safe place.

my belief is that the west negotiated safe passage for him to an allied nation, just like they did for his wife and children.

@Beaf

Thanks. Where there is a will there is a way . The problem arises When the will is not palpable - at least not by the majority.
A link I came across ;

www.the optimisticvoice.com/archives/ writer column07022011 HTML.

A book: an anthology of social and political writings of a Nigerian nationalist. Author - professor a.m. Yakubu ( Nigeria Defense Academy).
As the saying goes ; "throw a lucky man into the sea and he will come out with a fish in his mouth" - who knows GEJ may be a statesman after all , may see beyond his nose.

Here we go again, Nigerians on nairaland running into their[b] "Intellectual Ghettos"[/b] when they are presented with Hard-Facts,

I think that you would find that a White American would find more in common with a Korean, Japan or an Asian than with a Black African. a White man is 1000 more likely to marry a Asian woman
than a Black woman. It is what it is!!! If this is not true please can you tell the Thailand, Malaysian etc
Govt to Ban White men coming to their countries seeking a wife lol!!!

Notice i Said Political/Racial Preference is a Bit**ch, Sorry Beaf life is "Tough" and worse
when people just dont realize it.

sheyguy:
the vehicle is not suppose to be standard and flashy one for use, for those of u who don't understand its a prototype (a first copy with no special machinery or set up used in its production).it is meant to demonstrate engineering principle in practice, at least this is far more better than the War-Firecracker which is just a minimal modification to an aircraft.
Plus it is not an invention but demonstration.

martinosi:
Political/RACIAL Preference is a Bi**tch Beaf! deal with it,

But i would put this question to you -

If i fought a war 66 Years ago against the Two Strongest Industrial & Military powers in the World at that time and defeated them knowing fully well that they built up their economics before the war without my
help, then i better bring them under my wing politically and watch them closely in case they
try and fight me again ie 40,000 US Troops in Germany and 30,000 US Troops in Okinawa, Japan.

Germany & Japan do not have a standing army only a "Parade/Peace force of 5,000 Soldiers as they
both were forced to sign "Passive Constitution" which were written by the USA or lets be more specific General MacArthur.

In modern Time Africa has never been a Competitor Economically & Militarily so if the Caterpillar is never
going to be a butter-fly why should the USA care as they did with Germany & Japan

nolongTing:
The US will use Boko Haram as a pretext to enter Nigeria then magically they will end up in your run down, polluted village in the Niger Delta to control the oil.  Your hatred of the North has blinded you to the fact that your people will receive the lion share of the sorties.  

It will be nice if they bomb your hometown first, after all you worship their weapons so much you started a thread on it https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-348028.0.html

chyz:
He thought it was a way to control the Niger Delta rebellion? Makes no sense at all. Would you want another country to set up a military base in your country permanently? During that term date he gave them to turn in their arms,if they resisted it he would has immediately sent out the military and wiped them completely out. Go and learn why other military countries rejected Africom.Since you don't believe the video then go read about it. Everything to you people is a conspiracy theory when it goes against anything the west says.

I never argue based on hearsay. I am not even going to provide you any link, just google these words, your foolish Yar Adua uttered them after drinking non-alcohic tea in the White House;

"We have discussed on security issues, security within Nigeria, the Niger Delta, the Gulf of Guinea and peace and security on the African continent. We shall partner  AFRICOM to assist not only Nigeria but also the African continent to actualise its peace and security initiatives. It is an initiative to have standby forces in each of the regional economic groupings in Africa,"

This is from Shell;

Clearly the Nigerian Government is planning on working with the US military in the Niger Delta – whether this will continue in a low profile advisory capacity or escalate into something more is not clear. But the US Marines / US Government are not going to carry out their own research into the region unless they are going to use the information to pursue a specific set of agendas presumably with the knowledge of the present Nigerian regime.

http://royaldutchshellplc.com/2007/06/30/africa-path-nigeria-us-marines-africom-the-niger-delta/

Start from the two pointers above, spend a week following articles, then come back. yar Adua signed a foolish document he probably hadn't read, because the damn teacher was bamboozled by the things he saw in the White House. anyways since Jonathan, the US is now more concerned about Boko Haram and Mutalabs as the main problems that can stop oil flowing. But get one thing straight, yar Adua willingly acted stup!dly and signed a dangerous treaty.

You might also like to look at what Yar Adua said when the White House tea had dissolved from his eyes; http://nm.onlinenigeria.com/templates/?a=11064&z=5

Thats your disgraceful president in the White House;

JAPAN = USA BOMBED THEM CRAZY & THEN DROPPED THE ATOM BOMB ON THEM!!!

SOUTH KOREA = USa BOMBED THEm CRAZY AND THE CHINESE BACKED UP THE NORTH-KOREANS
AND THE COUNTRY IS DIVIDED WITH THE THREAT OF WAR HANGING OVER THEIR HEADS

GERMANY = USa BOMBED THEM CRAZY AND THEY GAVE IN TO DEFEAT IN THE SECOND WORLD WAR!!

Conclusion - USA , Helped develop Japan, Germany & South Korea becos they Would have Hell to Pay if they did not bring them into their Orbit, but that is another matter for another threa,

AFRICA DOES NOT BELONG TO THE USA-ORBIT.AND USA HAS NO INTENTION OF MAKING IT ONE!
, IF NIGERIA WAS AN OECD COUNTRY THEN I WOULD THINK DIFFERENTLY!!!

Note - 2 of these countries u mentioned were former Imperial Powers (Japan & Germany), so u better think well before you post!!!

honeric01:
Can someone (pro-US) name one country at peace now ever since America or the west stepped into their country to install peace and stabililty?

he didn't say Iyana Ipaja is the capital of any state. he was just challenging the fact that i alluded to the fact that Ipaja is better than Lokoja.

We d ND hav too many ways to treat aboki F-up.  [size=14pt]Accordin to d chinese '' BOKO HARAM neva chin chon chin''[/size]

goggs:
Well, I dont think the Americans wil deploy troops on the ground for a full scale war. Americans have no stomach for it. i think it will be more of intelligence training, and surveillance assistance eg satellite surveillance, intelligence processing and advisors.

The American understand the risks of putting men on the ground. Many Nigerians, not just northerners or muslims will oppose. We still have pride na. But assistance is no harm. Was it not sometime ago that the Isrealis offered counter terrorism help and trained some police and SS people? Canada did the same so did US.

The Nigerian security apparatus is facing a new challenge, they need all the help they can get, but it must be  done with the sensibilities of the citizen so we dont create fresh problems. Especially when the world knows that  the US seldom give their time and expertise for free. I am sure the Government is aware of this.
