Odunnu:
my 2011 online hero! I'm exceptionally happy to see you. You left without a word to us. I'm happy you are back. I really missed your posts. Welcome Sir.

Thanks so much my lovely sister, I was really busy sorting out a personal project (still am a bit).

[quote author=alj_harem link=topic=724543.msg8826418#msg8826418 date=1312124081]1. We are not complaining about Gej and Boko haram ( at least not for now)

2. OBJ introduced GSM and other thing to nigeria for the first time. also he was the one that paid our debts and gave us foreign reserve excess of 60 million excess which GEJ has reduced to 20 or 10 million

3. We are complaing that we have not seen anything GWEJ has done given the fact he has been in power since march 2010 and this tomorrow is august 2011. Please point out the single thing Gej has done unless reduceing our foreign reserves[/quote]If your understanding wasn't so agriculturally impeded, you would have heard about stuff like FOI etc. Dude, I would have attempted to explain FOI to you, but it has nothing to do with chickens, yams or cows, so you wouldn't understand.

Damn!

[quote author=alj_harem link=topic=724751.msg8826445#msg8826445 date=1312124461]1. Babagandi has done bad things but also good thing and better than GEJ

2. THE BEST PERIOD IN NIGERIA HISTORY WAS DURING IDAIGBON AND BUHARI ERA. if you were born then, you would have experienced the best of Nigeria government

3. OBJ is far better than GEJ

OBJ introduced GSM and other thing to nigeria for the first time. also he was the one that paid our debts and gave us foreign reserve excess of 60 million excess which GEJ has reduced to 20 or 10 million

WHAT HAS GEJ DONE SINCE EARLY 2010 TO LAST 2011!!!!![/quote]The thing about being daft, is that it takes zero effort. You simply chuck your brain in your arse and start babbling crap.

@topic
Please, any takers, there is a a lovely choice of several "strong" leaders above. Take your pick and tell us what they did for Nigeria, but if you are merely an ethnic bigot, then tell us what they have done for your people.

A little bird keeps whispering, "some of these 'strong' leaders own boko haram and Maiduguri."

[size=14pt]Some "strong" leaders! [/size]

The bin is the wrong place to put (users might run into permission and write issues), Asp.NET has special folders. It should go in App_Data, it has the right security and permissions pre set up.
The debug folder is well out of the question, because release builds should be deployed for all sorts of reasons, especially security. You don't want to write the whole World a letter revealing vital info about your local file paths in your pdb's. Your pdb's should be release versions.

For those new to .NET, the Asp.NET has special folders are:

App_Code Folder
Bin Folder
App_Data Folder
App_Theme Folder
App_Browser Folder
App_WebReference Folder
App_LocalResource Folder
App_GlobalResource Folder

az77zy:
Its an act of unintelligence and blind minded sentiments dat wil make some to say wait and c wot gej wil eventualy achieve when d signs of his block headedness are obvious. How can a phd holder read d national minimum wage act and then sign it into law now turn back to say the law cannot be implemented. Is dat wisdom or dumnes.

You sound worse than the "rolex" inspired David West. Shame.
The only difference is that both David West and GEJ are PhD's, while you sir, are simply out of your league, like a stranded fish flapping wretchedly in the mud, gasping for air. Poor thing.

What a race! Nice win for Jenson, a great way to celebrate his 200th race.
Sweet recovery and great racing from Lewis too.

afam4eva:
Whether David west is anti-GEJ is not the issue. The issue is that he has spoken the gospel truth. GEJ has made it look as if nothing good can come out of ND excep oil. He goes down in history as the weakest and dullest president Nigeria ever had.For a PHD holder it's a sorry story.

Daft.

What good has ever come from your section of the country (including oil), or did the country suddenly turn bad by miracle in 2011?
What have all our "strong" leaders done for you and your people?

Once again. . . daft.

Darthmaul:
Kai, this Beaf guy sef. Let it go, we accept. "He has 20% of all overtakes" n hw many races has he won with d overtakes. If he had been on a team like say renault, bet he won't be dis celebrated. Most drivers in F1 are super talented. Talent, I would say again is never enough.

The 20% stat is very well known. You are right that talent isn't enough though, you also need a good car. For the likes of Lewis (and I would add, Kobayashi), they don't need the fastest car to win, a bit fast is enough, and thats why Lewis has an outside chance despite the wretchedness of McLaren this season.
Yes, ALL F1 driver are super talented, but Lewis is gifted; his type appear on the scene one per generation. In all my time of watching F1, the only person whose carcraft compares, is Michael Schumacher.

Anyways, lets see how todays race goes.

Vacancy: Boko Haram In Dire Need Of Spokesperson As They Threaten Kano.

Damn!

I nominate alj harem.

[quote author=South-East link=topic=724543.msg8824339#msg8824339 date=1312081340]Beaf:

Both are your ND brothers
However, I would say that Tam speaks the truth about GEJ, even though I am a GEJ supporter too. That truth you are trying now to smoother.
Yet, you claim you have no connection to GEJ?[/quote]You have 12 posts, yet you no say I be ND man? Guy, identify yourself!

You are missing the basis of David Wests rant. The man made this rather strange statement about the boko haram problem:

David West: You don’t win a moral battle with gun.

Moral? Boko haram?
When did the boko haram battle become a "moral battle?" There is no morality attached to boko harams battle, their fight is for the right to be silly and to enforce their stupidty on the unwilling.
When an ex-minister and PhD holder like David West begins making such severely flawed arguments, it does not come as a surprise that the interviewer describes him as:

shouting on top of his voice

Why would a civilised man with a doctorate shout at the top of his voice during an interview and make statements like:

“Let me put it on record again. Tam David West has nothing against President Jonathan. I have not met him before. He graduated from secondary school in 1975 when I was already a Professor for two years.

He comes across as someone battling an inferiority complex.

Kind mods, please can you delete this thread? https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-724538.0.html

I published it with mistaken information. Sharia was introduced to Osun in 2005, not 2011.

Thanks.

henry101:
I dont believe in negotiation now, first bombard their hideouts then return to the round table.

I believe boko haram is morally and financially supported by at least 80% of the core-Northern elite. Core-Northerners (Hausa-Fulani) make up the single largest ethnic block in both the police and army officer corps.
The above points make the boko haram battle one that cannot be rushed into headlong (there lies the trap). IMHO, govts approach of maximum force while creating room for talks is wise. Another thing talks will do is put names and labels to faces, lets know who they are.

“Let me put it on record again. Tam David West has nothing against President Jonathan. I have not met him before. He graduated from secondary school in 1975 when I was already a Professor for two years.

The above says it all.

We have a jealous and bitter man in Tam David West, he desperately wishes to be seen as the foremost ND man with a PhD.
Unfortunately, Jonathan is not the only ND man to surpass David West's height as ex-petroleum minister (sacked for recieving "rolex watch" gifts).

[quote author=alj_harem link=topic=724526.msg8824188#msg8824188 date=1312077108]Dude you represent jonathan on this forum and yet you are very tribalistic. What kind of a person are you [/quote]I do not represent Jonathan and have zero connection with govt or PDP.
Why do you guys wheel out the same stale argument when you are faced with vastly superior armo? Why? You enemies of progress can't all be that tired! Lol!

Please face the question I asked without dodging here and there; "what is the purpose of resources when there is a worrying absence of the will to be educated and a complete lack of the required intelligence to harness those resources?"
The above is what I have pointed out as the sad story of Nigeria typified by Japan with zero natural resources and the Worlds 3rd largest economy and Nigeria's Borno state with its primitive boko haram and headlong dash for primitivity. Counter that or give the floor to someone who can.

[quote author=alj_harem link=topic=724526.msg8824031#msg8824031 date=1312073336]if you have some else to add, please share it with us

thank you [/quote]Thank you.

The human resources of Maidugury = boko haram.
The natural resources of Maidugury = bombs.
The state govt = JTF.
The citizens = 100 metre champs, running for their lives from their own state faster than Usain Bolt.

The above is the story of Nigeria. What is the purpose of resources when the will to be educated and intelligence to harness them are lacking?

Japanese natural resources = zero.
Japanese economic size = Worlds 3rd largest.

MRbrownJAY:
brotha Beaf
we have been on this for the past 2yrs, let it go!!!!
do you get some bout of amnesia?! when the Ham was in his rookie year, he beat Alonso by few points, call it "rookie luck" lol.
you are making it sound like he won all the race ahead of Alonso. . . . . . . . . . . . stop day dreaming and lets see what happen tomorrow.

True, we shouldn't be having these arguments after all this time. But its due to the strength of the completly unfair and sometimes offensive stuff that gets said about Lewis; especially due to Alonso's spat with McLaren, first with Ron Dennis after the infamous Monaco 2008. It is all down to Alonso fans.

Its funny, at the time Alonso joined McLaren I had a soft spot for Kimi, BUT was much more an Alonso guy, especially after giving Schumachar brake dust to inhale for two straight years. However, I switched after the 2007 Hungarian Grand Prix when Alonso blocked Lewis from taking part in the 3rd quali; after that, the spygate scandal was the last straw.
There was also some grumbling from Lewis at being ordered to play number two, especially at Monaco 2007 where he was much much much faster than Fernando (word has it that Alonso later asked Ron Dennis to short fuel Lewis).
There where (and still are) too many dirty games, the straight road is preferable.

Darthmaul:
Someone is an anti-hamilton hater!
@Beaf we know dat Hamilton is very good but hw many WC does he have? Vettel is goin for no 2. Its only a british driver or sports team dat actually wins just 1 championship n claim to be d best they ever was.

If by British, you are talking about agencies like the BBC, Daily Mail and the rest of the reactionary/right-wing section of the tabloids, then you couldn't be more wrong. Lewis talent has been overwhelmingly recognised by the rest of the World, that recognition has been largely forced on the British.
Big up to Ron Dennis for standing up to a an all white, ol' boy environment and pushing forward a great talent regardless of origins; same to Lewis for breaking through barriers. To the British F1 establishment, Lewis is a foreigner.

After Lewis last win, BBC's Jake Humphreys approached no less than 4 people to canvass for Lewis to be punished for overtaking Massa on the last corner. Thats hardly British endorsement. Jake spoke to the following on live TV:
[list]
[li]Murray Walker[/li]
[li]Filipe Massa[/li]
[li]Stefano Domenicali (Ferarri)[/li]
[li]FIA Drivers Representative[/li]
[/list]
They all told him without fail, that there was nothing to complain about.

Lewis is a star because of his outstanding talent, not because he is British. The stats say so too, so far this year, Lewis is responsible for 20% of all overtakes. . . and he's just one guy. But, what a guy!

proO1:
Perhaps the 'daftest' argument I've heard since this Islamic banking debate started is: "If Islamic Banking operates in the UK (and a few other Westerm countries) then why not in Nigeria"? This is totally imbecilic. Every country has its own socio-political realities and peculiarities. If father and son can both be president (within a decade apart from each other) in the US i.e. George Bush Snr and Jnr, then why not in Ngeria? ? ? Why can't GEJ hand over to a fellow Bayelsa man in 2015? ? ? If same-sex marriage is permitted in the UK, then why not in Nigeria? People need to stop luxuriating in their own s.t.u.pi.di.ty.

Nigeria is NOT the UK; neither is it Saudi Arabia. We have our own peculiar nature and peculiar problems. We are an artificial federation brought together by a marriage of (in)convenience. The different ethnic groups and religions view each other with perpetual suspicion. There is permanent tension and mutual distrust between the two dominant religions and the major ethnic groups. This is made worse by the FREQENT violence perpetrated by Muslims against Christians, and the relentless quest by Muslims (especially in the northern part of the country) to force their religious doctrines down the throats of non-muslims (as evident in the introduction and forceful implementation of Sharia law in some northern states in spite of the presence of Christians in such states). Deliberately introducing divisive policies and issues such as this Islamic Banking nonsense would only exacerbate the already bad tension between the religions and ethnic groups in the country. How much common sense does anyone need to understand this simple fact? Comparing Nigeria's socio-political structure to that of the western world only when it suits one's selfish purposes is a very pathetic thing to do. The fact that Islamic banking exists in the UK does NOT necessarily mean that it should in Nigeria. Both countries have different realities and very different levels of social, economic and political development.

The supreme leader of Osun state. His primacy, Rawuf AregbeRASCAL; Maximus Rex, the omnipotent one of Osun state.
Single-handedly ruling Osun, the all=knowing Great One and newly revealed lord of sharia.
. . .What a Taliban-like beard!

No commissioners, but the dude looks at Osun as one of those poor Northern states that can run on autopilot, feeding off yams and religion.
. . .Another Nigerian megalomaniac is revealed.

[size=14pt]Case of Shariah Law in Osun State[/size]
The spread of Islam to Yorubaland was accompanied by the institution of Shari’ah (the Islamic law), and Muslims in the area applied it, alongside the Customary and Common Laws during the pre-colonial period before its abolition by the colonial government. However, very little research has been done in this area. Therefore, this study examined the institution of Shari’ah in Oyo and Osun States of Nigeria with reference to Yoruba Customary Law which had been in existence and the Common Law[5].

The study revealed that the British colonialists, during the colonial era, used their authority to replace Shari’ah with Common Law through Indirect Rule. It identified that Shari’ah issue is contentious because of general misunderstanding and misconceptions of its origin, tenets and practices. It also discovered that the agitation of the Muslims in the selected states for Shari'ah was based on the premise that both Yoruba Customary and Common Laws did not cover certain provisions under Shari’ah, such as ‘iddah‘ waiting period for a widow’, al-hadanah ‘custody of children’ and mirath ‘inheritance’[6].

[size=14pt]Shariah Courts Inauguration[/size]
The study revealed that Muslims found psychological relief in the Shari’ah application in Yorubaland. Despite its official replacement, some Muslims had firm conviction in using Shari’ah; hence, it is applied at individual, private and non-governmental levels as evidenced in the activities of Faya Group in Ikirun, Bamidele Movement in Ibadan and Islahuddin Association in Iwo, as well as the Independent Shari’ah Arbitration Panels in Ibadan and Osogbo. It was discovered that while 93.0% of the Muslim respondents of both states were agitating for the establishment of Shari’ah Courts, 53.0% of the Christian respondents showed negative attitude to the resuscitation. 60.0% of the respondents of Oyo State House of Assembly supported the agitation, but 75.0% of those in Osun State did not[5].

A Shari`ah court was inaugurated in the southern state of Osun on Tuesday, April 25, to look into Muslim civil cases, the second such court in southern Nigeria.[7]. "The court groups senior Muslim scholars and jurists who will rule in Muslims' civil and personal cases according t Chairman of the Osun State Muslim Community, which championed the move.[8]

Boko Haram comes south.

What hope is there for Osun, so richly blessed, yet one of Nigeria's most rural and poor? A state richly steeped in history, culture; from Ede, to Osogbo and Ife.
Who the hell voted for the clown, Aregbesola?

Wicked soul papabrown kept making noise about the road being fixed, i debunked his lies by posting recent pictures, now we all can see that he was truly a liar and only wanted his ogas in power by hooks or crook.

Dude, Papabrowne is a very moral and upright person.
So, someone tells you the road is being fixed, even posts pictures to show roadworks and he becomes a "wicked soul?"
Why is the average Nigerian so extreme?

Yes, the road is bad, but it didn't get bad overnight. So how sensible is it to scream so loud about a stretch of the road that is still bad? How moral is it to label a fellow human a "wicked soul" for publishing pictures of roadworks and repaired sections of road? Are you saying those pictures were fake, if so, where is your proof? Are you saying that there is no ongoing work to fix that road? Again, prove it.

Why do educated Nigerians take to extreme words, shouting and fighting? The behaviour is everywhere; it is in the press, it is championed by leaders of certain sections (like Atiku, Buhari, Babangida and Tinubu).
Dude, lift yourself above the crowd, I have conversed and argued with you in the past and you were always civil, so I know you are quite a decent soul.

The core-North is sinking into the stone age at an alarming rate of knots; yet all their elite can think about is "enlightening" stuff like boko haram and other sharia tendencies.
Their religion must be mixed with everything to control the innocent talakawa's they have enslaved, the average core-Northern babies future is in almajirici.
In the next couple of years, while the South and Middle Belt develop, the North will be like Somalia or worse.

Sharia? Why not become cavemen?

bamosagie:
Funny, very funny. Japan built their plant in costal area cause they dont have enough space upland. go to US, Britain, France, Russia, Ukraine, India and Pakistan and see where they built their plants, please let us develope the northern part of Nigeria, imagine the number of jobs that would be generated, the business opportuinity that would be presented. and of'course we are all know the set of nigerians that have deathwish mentality from birth. and in case boko haram(harem) decide to blow the place up,  well then, radiation will spread with a but, dont want to say more.

Exactly! Boko haram can be employed to pack nuclear waste by hand, instead of running around the place with hammers and bombs.
It can even serve other purposes. If na bleach dem wan bleach, nuclear waste go do am. If na God dem wan see, a dose of nuclear waste can create the illusion; you never even know, nuclear waste might just straighten and connect the missing links in the wretched brains.
We can rid ourselves off those primitive animals while providing a cheap source of power; talk of killing two birds with one stone!

It is strange tha Nigerians are scared of nuclear waste, while the average citizen has proven to be worse than the worst nuclear fallout.

Not bad from Red Bull competition. I see Lewis and Alonso finishing ahead of Vettel tomorrow, he can't waltz off into the distance now that other teams have caught up. He has to actually drive against others now and we know he lacks that ability.

MRbrownJAY:
^^snap out of it bro, if i'd listen to you, i would think the Ham was in his rookie year AND is a rookie against world champs.
the Ham IS a world champ himself and THEREFORE should be able to compete and beat some of these guys. . . . . .sometimes.

where was your "prodigy" when Jenson had the ride of his life a few races ago? where was your prodigy all this season?
pls anyone can drive well on given days, it has been proven time and time again and can be done by ANYONE OUT THERE

true champs are the ones who CONSTANTLY bring the good and therefore win championships (not drive like a brat all year and then win occasionally). so far, he got only ONE championship so YES he is better than most but definitely not (yet) as good as anyone who has won 2championships or more!

Lol! Stop griping! History doesn't lie, the rookie beat Alonso, a World champ, in the very same equipment. . . Not just over a couple of races, but over the whole season, rookies shouldn't do that to World champs. A damn rookie! Lol!

Nobody is remotely near Lewis, it has taken Alonso 4 years to recover from the shock and drop his hating and childish excuses. He is even praying for Lewis to take Vettel in the first corner right this moment in an interview as I type.
