Yes I said we speak with one voice.

Take the panadol and mind your own village.

Why did a 56 year old woman want a 25 year old student?
If you ask me, its birds of a feather flock. . .

prettyG:
Speak with one voice? Your head is stuck so far up your own arse that it has began to smell like roses to you. I lived in Warri when they were fighting. Is it not in the same Niger Delta that the people of Evreni killed their traditional ruler over a squabble? Don't make me laugh.

Who is "they"? Did that fight that "they" where engaged in scuttle true federalism?
So what if an Evreni traditional ruler lost his life? Is that the reason why Nigeria shouldn't either practice true federalism or split.

Go and take panadol, you're mentally tired.

prettyG:
Again your stupidity knows no boundaries. Luxembourg is not an ethnically homogeneous nation. And GDP per capita means income divided by number of individuals. That country has a population of half a million people and an income of $40billion. Even Nigeria makes more money than Luxembourg.

You are funny.
If we look at it very simplistically, a GDP of $40 billion makes even a new born baby in Luxemburg worth $80,000.

Nigeria makes more money than Luxemburg, but while your average Nigerian is wretchedly poor, the average person in Luxemburg has twice as much money as the average American.

. . .Now do you want to talk about stupidity?

MsTom:
I do not thinks so. If he is, he would start from his house. Wasnt his wife indicted by EFCC for money laudering? Even his assets are in question. Baggages like that, if not cleared, has a way of slowing one down.

An indictment is a mere accusation, the EFCC never went forward with any case. I am not in any way defending Jonathans wife (I am not sure she is a PDP member anyway). In any event, it all seems weak and circumstancial and possibly a political rumour to weaken his chances in the then bitter fight for the office of VP.

Shell did not apologise, I have put up proof that this thing is a hoax. Why are Nigerians so easy to decieve?

prettyG:
and you think that the Ibibio want to be associated with ndi Igbo? Get your head out of your arse boy, they hate us. The Idoma even worse. On these very pages we have Ikwerre people cursing out anything Igbo. If we go to Benue state alone, the Idoma and the Tiv can't stand each other. In Edo, the Bini and Ishan hate each other's guts. In Plateau the Langtang, Birom, Jasarawa, Naraguta just to name a few would rather spend their time tearing each other out. In Delta, Ijaw, Itsekiri and Urhobo hate themselve. Where do you want to start?

So how come we speak with one voice as Niger Delta? Mind your own side of the country and stop trying to discuss other people problems which you are clearly ignorant of. Mind your own village abeg!

prettyG:
You are very silly. Nigeria (according to the CIA fact book) has 389 ethnic groups. Tell me, just HOW do you want to split then? 389 countries? If you really believe that will work I have a bridge to sell you.

[size=14pt]So what? The population of Luxemburg is half a million, but Nigeria is much poorer.[/size]
More than that, Luxemburg is the richest country by GDP per capita, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luxembourg
. . .Like I said you mouth inanities.

MsTom:
Yes he can if he is ready to face the music too!

Do you think he isn't ready? Afterall, it was his own party, the PDP that was at the forefront of making him look like Turai's houseboy. Is the cabal not PDP?

@topic
There is something deeper in this call, but trust some of the lightweights here to call that this be moved to the joke section. If you don't understand the power and influence of the diaspora wings of our political parties, then some re-education is in order.

Mark my words, PDP will either be totally re-organised by Jonathan or he will cause its controlled implosion.

prettyG:
Boboribo, splitting would not make our problems go away. The issue with Timpriye Silva is a classic case of how our problems are not ethnic or religious.

Really? The above is as simplistic as simplistic can get. Are you being mischievous or just naive?

Sylva's case is easy to analyse. The only place the cabal can get huge sums to line their pockets or fight the Nigerian population to a standstill, is the Niger Delta. In the past, we had Ibori, who Aondoakaa travelled the World to defend; today, it is Sylva.
The long and short of the matter, is that the cabal sourced 100 billion stolen oil money to fight Jonathan, Sylva is just the fool flattered by the power the cabal can give him.
The 100 billion fraud fight is another face of Jonathan vs cabal.

Everybody, please mind your own areas and stop bringing up false justifications. Should we split along ethnic lines? YES, if we can't have a national conference, or true federalism at the very least. Nigeria isn't working, so lets quit mouthing inane sentiments.

SEFAGO:
LOL, I admit I did not read the whole thread.

But that one was a bad joke

It is best to treat serious issues with the gravity they deserve.

@topic
On second thought, rather than a cruel joke, it is likely to be a publicity effort by one of the better funded human rights organisations.
I must confess, I didn't even bother to watch the video before trashing the topic.

SEFAGO:
^ Dont be retarded- its not an hoax, there has been significant pressure on shell toapologize for most of what they have been doing especially by environmental groups. Shell is obliged to hold to some ethical standard no matter what. Everyone knew what shell was doing but its very rare to get a corporate apology because it means acceding that you are wrong. Usually a corporate apology is met by falls in stock prices and such. I think y'all should be happy they apologized

So you actually think Shell hosts its domain names with jokers like http://joker.com/ ? . . .I am baffled! I even posted the registrant details earlier, you just ain't smart! Some fool has simply dreamt up a new way to trivialise the thousands of lives lost to shell in the Niger Delta and has you folk hooked.

Can you guys not see that this is a hoax?

[size=14pt]PDP Urges Jonathan to Probe Looting[/size]
From Reuben Buhari in Kaduna, 03.29.2010

The New York branch of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has urged Acting President Goodluck Jonathan to properly investigate alleged official looting which was said to have been perpetrated when President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua was away in Saudi Arabia for medical treatment.

According to the chairman of the New York branch of the party, Chief Oluwafemi Sanyaolu, who is also the Chairman, Global Campaign for Africa Democracy, after a meeting with citizens of Nigeria in the United States on the state of affairs of the nation and the way forward, noted that those who took part in such looting should not be included in the new list of ministerial nominees currently before the senate.

The PDP chieftain, who made these known through a signed statement, further alleges that because of the country’s leadership problem during Yar’Adua’s hospitalization in Saudi Arabia and before Jonathan was empowered to act, “Nigerians in Diaspora who are doing business in Nigeria were made to pay $455 extra on any container of goods shipped to the country to a private company in Houston, Texas on behalf of Nigeria, and $370 on every car shipped to Nigeria.”

The PDP stalwart said the ludicrous payment started when the country had leadership problem some months ago and pleaded with the acting president to investigate the issue with a view to ascertaining what went wrong and where the collected tariffs entered.

“What type of a country collects taxes from its citizen in a foreign land, and where do such monies go? Those behind these rip-offs should tell us where such is practiced in the world and if it is in the interest of its citizens in Diaspora? He queried.

On the recurring Jos crises, Sanyaolu said, “the diversity in Nigeria should be a unifying factor binding us together to make us unique with unparalleled and unequaled strength that will keep us ahead as the giant of Africa that is the envy of other nations in Africa and the rest of the world,” and called on the Federal Government to ensure that those behind the scene fuelling the cord of disunity are fished out and jailed.

“We shall all live to be the advocates of a Nigeria that our children and generations unborn will be proud to live in and even those of us in the Diaspora can proudly walk with our head high. That is why we commit our resources and our time to this end, and our children will want to come back to settle in their fatherland, with their brothers and sisters regardless of tribe, religion and culture,” he said.

Rubbish!

Ibori, Turai and the rest of the cabal will go to jail.

@felele

Lagos was founded by the Edo empire, so you just might be an an Edo man.
[b]The big question is, who is an indegine of a state or town? [/b]Is it the people who happened to have migrated there 100 years ago, 300 years ago or those simply born and bred there and who know the place as home?

Why can't the conman, TB Joshua make predictions about his cook and driver? Is it not because the cook and driver can't offer patronage in millions, but can only offer a poormans true prayers?

9jaganja:
Thanks jor.  Nigerians aren't lazy. I've seen laziness and I can tell you Nigerians aren't lazy.

Wrong!! Going by your anti Islammic posts here the above post is invalid. Nigerians are hardworking whether Christian or Muslim. Just that we limit our potentials with religious beliefs.

Simple question, if Nigerians aren't lazy (mentally or physically), how come the country isn't developing? How come the average Nigerian lives on less than a dollar a day?

Someone who ties boulders to his shoulders and hauls them up a cliff (after devoted prayers for success) day in day out, is mentally lazy. It doesn't matter how hard he applies himself to his task. In fact, the man I have just described (prayer and all) is little better than a beast of burden.
With a little mental application (as against foolish faith), he would be able to devise a pulley system that would make his task life childs play, with a little more mental application, he could harness a donkey or petrol engine to his pulley system. . . It goes on and on.

He is Edo, not Yoruba. But was born and bred in Lagos.

biina:
@Ioma
Could you please stop the piecemeal 'echoing'. A single link to the source would suffice, and not you regurgitating small parts without any reference to the original source.
If you want to start a thread on NLI feel free to do so, but dont swarm the current thread with less relevant info.

Enh! I never heard you ask anyone to stop the rampant echoing when it was the turn of Sanusi's various sharia thesis.
However, you are right, the echoing is like shameless hero worshiping and I join you in begging Ioma to stop it.

Brilliant article.

When I was a kid, one of my uncles who is very successful used to advise us to be suspicious of anybody that seemed religious. As an adult, I have come to see the wisdom in those words, because overly religious people fall neatly into two camps;
[list]
[li]Lazy (mentally and physically)[/li]
[li]Evil conmen[/li]
[/list]

Not surprisingly, the above two factors define todays Nigeria.

The cabal and its goons have very rightly been placed under security surveilance. They are the enemies of Nigeria, I look forward to the day they will all be jailed.
The same goes to all coup plotters and their conmen.

cap28: can you not see that your above statement is complete garbage - the constitution is NOT merely a set of guidelines it is a set of principles which set out specifically the way in which a nation is to be governed.  s 1(1)  SPECIFICALLY states that the provisions of the constitution are SUPREME and BINDING on the authorities and persons throughout the federal republic of nigeria,

1(2) goes further to stipulate that no person is to take control of the FGN except in accordance with the provisions of the constitution

1(3) goes on to clarify what should happen if there is any inconsistency between the constitution and any other law basically that the provisions of the constitution shall take precedence.

Just listen to yourself.
Of course, your interpretation of the constitutions "set of principles" is that the country can be owned by a criminal cabal. Disgrace.

The consitution is not a "set of principles", it is a set of BASIC principles, common sense fills in the gaps. If everyone adopts your approach, very soon people will start asking what punishment the constitution stipulates when a man slaps his neighbour.

There are very good reasons why I gave you the links to both the Nigerian and US constitutions. While the US version is a mere 9 pages, the Nigerian one stretches to about 100 pages; yet if Obama ever stays too long in the loo, Joe Biden would take over seamlessly. It shows where we get it wrong and like I said earlier, it is because of the Nigerian error of aggrandising even petty everyday things; you would rather be attending a birthday "function", instead of simply, birthday party as the whole World knows it; Mr Etim Etuk, would rather you addressed him as Chief Engr Senator Etim Etuk CFR MON QED and any other BS he can make up; you would rather be looking up Section 145, than employing common sense and putting the VP in charge as the constitution makes clear.

The rhyme "For Want of a Nail" is most apt here (I hope you like poetry);

The beginning of a poem that makes the point that a seemingly minor event can lead to significant consequences.
For want of a nail the shoe was lost.
For want of a shoe the horse was lost.
For want of a horse the rider was lost.
For want of a rider the battle was lost.
For want of a battle the kingdom was lost.
And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.

Oh sorry, I'm not in football thread. .

****walks out****

Jarus, we are talking oil and octane!

doyin13:
na wa. . .

good comeback by the mclarens after a mediocre start.

they seemed more in tune with the elements.

Shame for Vettel though. He shows signs of being a
great one. Hopefully his car gets more reliable.

Vettel is so unlucky, but that comes with his hyper aggressive style of driving. It was Webber's turn last year, but Vettel is by far the better driver in the team and a future world champ.
All in all, it was a great race, the complete opposite of the Bahrain procession; the only letdown was we didn't see enough of Alonso carving his way from 22nd up to the front, although Hamilton gave a very good spectacle!

One question that bugs me though, is why McLaren called Hamilton into the pits when he had climbed up to 3rd and was very likely to either win or come second.

[quote author=metal-gong link=topic=420832.msg5782215#msg5782215 date=1269758228]I did not see how Netanyahu is endangering Isreal's security;infact, he is emboldening it. Isreal do not even need the support of USA to survive and defend itself in the Middle East. Obama is just playing to the democratic party gallery, Isreal still enjoys enermous support from Americans and conservatives.[/quote]Obama simply got the clown in a room and asked him if he had changed his mind. Like the thug he is, Netanyahu was very quick to say he hadn't. . . At which Obama simply walked and left him with lowly staff, just in case he changed his mind and was ready for proper discussion. Good one!

Netanyahu is joking, no country can clown around with the US. Israel has gotten away with too many crimes against humanity; Gaza and the West Bank are as bad or even worse than apartheid South Africa.

Both Virgin cars didn't finish due to mechanical problems. I'd been looking out for ending somewhere before the end. Oh well! Off to Malaysia at the weekend.

Jenson button wins! Webber crashes with Lewis, Lewis makes 6th. What a race that was!

Unlucky Vettel has just driven off the road. Lewis is 3rd, Button is leading. Wow!

Brilliant start for Hamilton (up to 8th).
Alonso crashed at first corner and is running 22, Kobayashi had a serious crash with hulkenburg - both are out, schimi is running last from changing a front wing! What a start to the race!
