Sukhoi T-50 Prototype. Beautiful bird.

The feared Tupolev Tu-22M "Backfire bomber" is a supersonic, Variable Geometry(swing-wing), long-range strategic bomber.

Bastage:
And you're such a cretin that you don't even realise that the spelling I've used is slang for that word.

As for your claim about oil and gas? You've shown nothing of substance. I've already pointed out to you that the oil company you've bleated on about doesn't exist and that the gas pipe (which is only proposed, let alone built) will be delivering Asian gas to Asian countries.

So its ok to refer to you as bastard from now on? I'd love to.

Did you check if Asian countries own both companies? Olodo!

Afam:
I don't answer questions put forward by bastards and idiots. How many times will I state this for you to understand?

Do I need to print out the content, shred it, soak it in water, split your dumb skull open and pour the mixture in space where the brain ought to have been and use super glue to keep the two parts of the stupid skulls together before you will understand basic things?

You are simply suffering from gross ignorance.

Afam!
I'm afraid your hard work will simply roll out through his ears. Don't waste time on self proclaimed bastards.

Bastage:
Seriously!?! There is actually videos of women sucking off donkeys too, but it doesn't mean that all women partake in it.

Is this how you were brought up to address women? Maybe, you talk to your mother and sisters this way, but it is a criminal assault to do this to a female on this forum.

Bastage:
It seems that there is a lot that you don't know about. The topic in hand being just one example.

So, what does NATO actually stand to gain from being in Afghanistan then? Oil? Gas? Muslim babies for Madonna to adopt?

Come on idiot. Time to put up or shut up.

Damn! Were you actually born stupid or are you just pretending? Damn!

Bastage:
The only sensible part of you ran down your mothers leg when your father pulled out.

So this is how the World was cursed with your presence?
Funny thing is, you're such a dull blade that you even misspell your own user name - formula = g to r, e to d. Work it out yet?

rookie:
When you are quoted and caught pants down, you deny your own words straight away as sarcasm! Shocked Shocked Shocked
You want to dance on two sides of the fence.

@ Beaf - while i thought you had a few good points, I'd have to say that i'm astonished you missed the "sarcasm" in Sky_blue's response to Obeledu's argument - .

With all due respect, let me advice that moving forward you read posts in entirety to avoid embarrassments as such.

Thanks rookie. I'm 100% aware of Sky_blue's words, but more specially, his intent. If you have grown up in the Niger Delta, then the sort of arguments he was very forcefully making, either sound callous or wicked (please note that I am not saying he is either).

I will close by giving summary from one African NGO;
the Niger Delta is 'one of the world's most severely petroleum-impacted ecosystems and one of the top five most polluted places on the face of the Earth.' More than 1.5 million tons of oil, equivalent to one Exxon-Valdez disaster every year for 50 years, have spilled into the delta, poisoning delicate mangrove and rain forest ecosystems and destroying fishing and farming livelihoods. Constant gas flaring releases toxic chemicals into the atmosphere, causing cancer, birth defects, respiratory diseases, and acid rain so toxic it corrodes metal roofs.

‘from 1999 to date, more than 20 communities have been wiped out completely and more than 50 000 persons killed by military bullets and no one is saying anything about it.

The Niger Delta crisis has also put Nigeria on the failed states list; yes, that is how we are seen internationally. Yet we still find time to put out lame arguments in the face of overwhelming proof.

hadji wese:
When people/celebrities are asked who's the greatest person you've ever met or want to meet,90% say Mr Mandela.He's done all he could,how come we have so few heroes after him? Same way we've had few genuine freedom fighters after Gani Fawehinmi.

Very sadly, few people make it into the pantheon of greatness before they die. Mandela is the only one so far in our lifetime.
That level of greatness will always be a rarity.

nex:
I don't blame these people. It is because Fashola did not bomb Bayelsa state back. They forget that in practising the true federalism they are fighting for, a state has the right to defend itself against foreign enemies and to Lagos state, we Niger Deltans are foreigners.
~~~
My greatest fears have been confirmed. We are mad!

Damn!

I would stop the slavery of the Niger Delta people, so that there will be no need for MEND.

I would split the country into peices, send the shariah states to a space between Mali and Mauritania and make becoomerich president of Oduduwa. Aloy.Emeka will be president of the new republic of Biafra.

tpia's passport and freedom will be ceased.

The reason why the womens faces are blacked out is that, no crime has been proven (that is also why the news article says the women cannot be identified).
It is usually impossible to proove illegal marriages, except the couple either, live apart in the first 2 years or give suspicious answers.

Exploiting a legal loophole is not a crime. None of these folk will go to jail, except they aren't clever.

Afam:
Thank God this guy is realizing this, even though a bit late sha.

Maybe there is hope after all. I sincerely wish you well in the healing process as you try to cure this your disease.

Well said
Tudor knows he has a problem. Ill people tend to have a headache; in his case, it is caused by swimming outside his intellectual comfort zone. He has no comprehension, but feels an ill advised urge to reply. Thats why rather than keep to topic, he trys to compensate by vigorously insulting those with superior arguments.

You'd notice that Tudor didn't provide any links with counter arguments or proffer any himself.

@Tudor, the cure to this illness is simple; read widely and crucially, immerse your mind in the whys of your sorroundings.

You might as well head into the forest for all I care. If only you were clever enough to stick to the topic, you wouldn't have the painful issues of a mental cripple.

I even thought you'd have come back arguments that made sense. But you were either too lazy or daft to understand the articles. And you came back talking bullshit. When people are facing Lagos, your direction is towards gbangan like someone who is mentally lost. Damn!

@Tudor
Stop talking stupidly. You are just tripping over your own tongue.
You are clutching wildly at straws like a madman, nothing you have said makes any sense.

Afam:
Please, tell them as it seems a lot of us here are simply too myopic and ignorant of the issues we dabble into.

However, I must warn you that the task is not an easy one because you will be faced with extremely ridiculous comments from people that think they know when in actual fact they know absolutely nothing on politics of this nature.

Thanks. I will survive by Gods Grace. I've seen your posts elsewhere, keep them coming.

yoruba:
@Beaf
He was definitely the founder of the military wing, but the man who orchestrated the bombings is called CHRIS HANI(look him up)
As I said, Mandela at that time was in robben island were he had no direct influence in those bombings.

After imprisonment(1990), South Africa looked likely to be in a civil war but he orchestrated peaceful negotiations with the Apartheid Government which led to be the worlds biggest political breakthrough in modern day politics.

Besides is there anything terrorist in spending 67 years fighting for human rights?

Hear it from the ANC themselves http://www.anc.org.za/ancdocs/history/mk/mk-history.html (definitive eh? )

Search Google or Bing for these quotations (word for word)

Fellow ANC member Wolfie Kadesh explains the bombing campaign led by Mandela:

"When we knew that we [sic] going to start on 16 December 1961, to blast the symbolic places of apartheid, like pass offices, native magistrates courts, and things like that ,  post offices and ,  the government offices. But we were to do it in such a way that nobody would be hurt, nobody would get killed."

Mandela said of Wolfie

"His knowledge of warfare and his first hand battle experience were extremely helpful to me."

@back2back You hear it from the horses mouth above.

This thread is not for the discussion of MEND or cross-cultural attacks, please refrain.

Below is a moving summary of the situation in the Niger delta by an African NGO, Pambazuka. It is a wretched story going out to the World about our dear country, Nigeria.
http://www.pambazuka.org/en/category/comment/57769/print

Nigeria is Africa's most populous nation, with 150 million people. It's the world's seventh-largest oil-producing nation. Nearly all of Nigeria's oil comes from the Delta.

Since 1970, US$350 billion in oil revenue has flowed to Nigeria, yet 75 per cent of Nigerians live on less than US$1 a day. Niger Delta communities continue to live in abject poverty, without schools, hospitals, or basic infrastructure, as oil profits fill the bank accounts of multinational oil companies and the Nigerian elite. Nigerian governments have negotiated joint ventures with multinational companies for unregulated oil production since 1958. Over 50 years of exploitation in the Niger Delta has resulted in systematic human rights abuses and environmental devastation.

According to an independent 2006 report by environmental experts from the U.K, U.S and Nigeria, and convened by the Nigerian Conservation Foundation, the Niger Delta is 'one of the world's most severely petroleum-impacted ecosystems and one of the top five most polluted places on the face of the Earth.' More than 1.5 million tons of oil, equivalent to one Exxon-Valdez disaster every year for 50 years, have spilled into the delta, poisoning delicate mangrove and rain forest ecosystems and destroying fishing and farming livelihoods. Constant gas flaring releases toxic chemicals into the atmosphere, causing cancer, birth defects, respiratory diseases, and acid rain so toxic it corrodes metal roofs.
OIL COMPANY ABUSES

Evidence given in recent U.S lawsuits [PDF] reveals Dutch Royal Shell and US-owned Chevron's complicity with successive Nigerian governments in committing human rights abuses against civilians. From the early 1990s, these companies have provided financing, weapons, and transport to the military to violently suppress community opposition to their oil operations.

Both Shell and Chevron requested the direct intervention of the Nigerian security forces at their sites. The first recorded incident occurred in Umechem in 1990, after Shell sent a letter to the police commissioner, stating: '[W]e request that you urgently provide us with security protection (preferably mobile police force) at this location.' The request was met, and security forces shot dead 80 people and destroyed 495 homes. Colonel Paul Okuntimo, head of the Joint Military and Police Taskforce in the 1990s, part of the Nigerian security forces widely known for their corruption and abysmal human rights record, stated that he was paid or directed by Shell.

Nnimmo Bassey, executive director of Environmental Rights Action, cited plaintiff depositions in his testimony before a US subcommittee hearing on human rights and the law last year. 'Chevron regularly houses and feeds the security forces, including army, navy, and police, and pays them above their government salaries,' he said. 'Chevron personnel have reported “leading” or “supervising” Nigerian security forces in the course of their duties. Chevron provides transportation to the military and police in Chevron-leased helicopters and boats.’

According to Nigerian activists, this is a story of people at risk of genocide at the hands of government and corporate sponsored terror. In 2007, Niger Delta Professionals for Development director Joel Bisina said that ‘from 1999 to date, more than 20 communities have been wiped out completely and more than 50 000 persons killed by military bullets and no one is saying anything about it.

Nezan:
What is MEND really agitating for? To share in the oil money thieving, I guess

di ode wen?

It is important that we recognise how far Mandela went in his fight for his beliefs - the real man behind the Wetern guilt gloss. His conviction was so strong that he was willing to die. There is a misconception that he didn't take part in any violence, but that is false. He fought the right fight, laying his life down for the freedom of his people. After struggling peacefully for years with no fruit, in 1961, Mandela co-founded the armed wing of the ANC, Umkhonto we Sizwe. The strength and leadership of Mandela comes from his application of the right tools for the struggle at the right times, like all great men; his deep convictions and steadfastness without hatred. Below are extracts from a wikipedia article on Mandela.

In 1961, Mandela became leader of the ANC's armed wing, Umkhonto we Sizwe (translated Spear of the Nation, and also abbreviated MK), which he co-founded.[30] He coordinated sabotage campaigns against military and government targets, making plans for a possible guerrilla war if the sabotage failed to end apartheid.[31] Mandela also raised funds for MK abroad and arranged for paramilitary training of the group.[31]

Fellow ANC member Wolfie Kadesh explains the bombing campaign led by Mandela: "When we knew that we [sic] going to start on 16 December 1961, to blast the symbolic places of apartheid, like pass offices, native magistrates courts, and things like that ,  post offices and ,  the government offices. But we were to do it in such a way that nobody would be hurt, nobody would get killed."[32] Mandela said of Wolfie: "His knowledge of warfare and his first hand battle experience were extremely helpful to me."[9]

Mandela described the move to armed struggle as a last resort; years of increasing repression and violence from the state convinced him that many years of non-violent protest against apartheid had not and could not achieve any progress.[9][33]

Later, mostly in the 1980s, MK waged a guerrilla war against the apartheid regime in which many civilians became casualties.[31] Mandela later admitted that the ANC, in its struggle against apartheid, also violated human rights, sharply criticising those in his own party who attempted to remove statements supporting this fact from the reports of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.[34]

Up until July 2008, Mandela and ANC party members were barred from entering the United States — except the United Nations headquarters in Manhattan — without a special waiver from the US Secretary of State, because of their South African apartheid regime era designation as terrorists.[35][36]
