That's too extreme if you ask me, what did he do? Well I wonder what he must have done to warrant a slap since he didn't lay a finger on her, then again, I would slap a guy if he tried to touch me inappropriately, could that be what he did?

Or maybe she's one of those ladies who can't control themselves and would not think twice before slapping anyone who says whatever they consider offensive, whatever be the case, the penalty seems too harsh, NYSC fa.

will you be willing to take a slap if you touch me inappropriately alsowhat is good for taiye is also good for kehinde

men get sexually harassed every minute and yet we dont go slapping anyone

Why would you want demons to leave your body? Embrace them and make them comfortable. Stop fighting demons.

mystiqueem:
I realize now that I will never find true love... not like this.
Definately not on this forum. Not online.
Maybe its my destiny to help others find love & happiness.


With a heavy heart... I close this thread.

u dont look for true love my dear,u dont look for what is not lost,love is from within nt without,looking for love is like looking for your heart.love is your personal property,its what u give out not what u get.give it out and u will the worthy soul rushing to u to get it.u must have a paradigm shift in ur perception and see joy gushing out of you

pendy79:
Read what I wrote well? I said 2 of the worst. I didnt say the worst 2. Add Fatai if you want to. It is allowed. The crowd at his declaration are rented then if your analogy is right then? The kwarans have a choice to return or replaced him. Go and do the little you can to convince people to vote against him

u got me laughing bro,if hitler or devil himself should come to nigeria, there will be mamoth crowd to welcome him. U need to see the crowd when gej came to the same kwara (does that mean people lov and want him).its all about the money bros nothing more

pendy79:
Am I in anyway wrong? 2 of the worst state governors in present day Nigeria are in the south East? Fact or lies? The biggest blind supporters of GEJ are minions from the same region? True or false? Even the south south don't sing his praise like the igbos. So what are we saying.

u are wrong,the worst governors are nt in the east,Ahmed Fatai of kwara state is not from the east,nyako was nt from the east, jang of pleateu is nt from east,suswan of benue is nt frm the east,u see u are wrong pendy.am a kwaran and i know what am saying.

plaetton:
This is very funny.

When you are failing exam questions, are you usually aware that you are failing, or do you realize it much later when those who are more informed than you mark your papers and give you your much deserved F ?

interesting reply from u my friend. Its sad how people cant see how evolution of mind and consiousness have been shaping our histories,it will be cool if people can fanthom what it will be like a thousand year from now,maybe they will begin to ponder what it was like 2000yrs ago, and just maybe histories will be seen from the right perceptives

Its so sad if people like ahmed fatai(kwara governor) and bukola saraki can be called progressives and people like tambuwal,tinubu and buhari are even in their support.it only mean one thing,no single individual in this country leadership is worth it,none is better than the other since non can stand for the truth.IMAGINE TAMBUWAL,BUHARI,TINUBU CAMPAIGNING FOR AHMED FATAI AND SARAKH,how are they better than gej then? He who want equity must come to it with clean hands.NIGERIA IS REALLY ON A LONG THING

chemali:
If I say $80 per barrel oil would affect you and I more than it would affect the thieving political ruling class means I'm not objective, I will rather remain so. It has happened before and it will happen again. If the naira is devalued, it's you and I that won't be able to afford what our import dependent country brings in. Jonathan and his cronies will be fed either from your taxes or the unjustifiable borrowing spree that is likely to take place (with $100 per barrel oil, GEJ still increased our debt). The thieves your well read mind think should be concerned will keep stealing.

so true

A person who fails to plan; plans to fail.

The fact that Nigeria cannot plan beyond any current year is a shame on itself.

When the leaders mouth off about vision 2020, they have no clue about the subject of discussion.

Heck. OBJ is more than 70 years. Do you really think he cares about life 20 years from now?

But Nigerians will form Team OBJ, Team GEJ, Team GMB and sing kumbaya!

Nigeria should keep praying that Russia bows and comes to the negotiating table else the slide in oil price will continue--Thanks
to Saudi Arabians, Hedge Funds and US Government.

Nigerians are in for a very long thing, as the street smarties would always say.

\

u really understand the game,saudi arabia plan is to take it down to $50 as am sure they hope russia dont bow down just to hurt iran and syria more,nigeria is insignificant in the current game plan of the world politics.i just fear for this country,the handwriting is so large on the wall..i hope the smart ones are planning their survival sha

rinrin23:
For the bolded statement, -thank you!. Truly some people's minds aren't built to handle certain types of information/information all at once/life changing information. This is why there are so many arguments on Nairaland between the theists and atheists for years!

Most would classify you as a Humanist. But I understand, there should be no use for tags and labels in an ever changing world, with knowledge and new information pouring in every day. Wisdom is all I search for, if I should be tagged I would rather be labelled 'Wise'.

wisdom is for those that study others,knowing is for those that study self.with wisdom and knowing come with ignorance of the opposite.

UyiIredia:
Based on what you've wrote I can authoritatively say your friends dont know of Nairaland and were oblivious to the fact that there are Nigerian atheists.

am not talking about my friends.friends are pretty easy to deal with,they can be changed once our belief begin to cause problem, rather am talking about my super deep religious muslim families. besides i dont go beyond what peoples mind can handle,if i sensed ur mind cant handle beyond d concept of god, then i use it to my advantage and if i realized d person av got a bit of expanded thinking then i use that.i av learnt that it does no good to challenge anyones belief,rather i listen,observe and ask question,its hard to do yes but then wisdom is a lonely journey...anyone can be open with his belief if done the peaceful way but then am just an OBSERVER without any label(no belief system and no disbelief system) not an atheist

Its good to be an OBSERVER i tell u.lovely thread.its very very easy to be open with one believe,that i av learnt d hard and easy way.i av learnt that d easiest way to be open when among religious people is to never answer any question but to contribute to d discusin by only asking questions,it always get them dazed and they switch to always askin me do u believe in god,i answer that by asking them what does the word god mean.

MizMyColi:

av u see this book 'A COURSE IN MIRACLE' it espouse ur type of thinking since u still hold jesus and holyspirit to exist or a book called 'A RETURN TO LOVE'. Thank me later

Greatest hypocrisy is when u exonorate APC and focus only on PDP knowing fully well that both APC and PDP are the samething

@ Boss13
The Masters are not interested in fulfilling anyone's fantasies about them or their spiritual role, they quietly work in the background assisting the serious souls to stand on their feet as they make the journey back to the Godhead

funny but very very true.... someone once told me that "WISE MEN SAYS NOTHING"...masters can only be found in the stillness of the mind and observation of perceptions within and without

shaggy007:
For those of you willing to learn the art of mysticism, download the book called "practical mysticism" by Evelyn Underwood.

The best, and straight to the point.

Here's the free ebook version.

http://www.holybooks.com/wp-content/uploads/Evelyn-Underhill-Practical-Mysticism.pdf?aaf522

Read everything, including the preface.

YOU dont learn myticism in a book, u become a mystic by being an keen observer of both thought and action and purging ones mind of negativity....true mysticim is practiced in stillness of the mind nothing more nothing else..and again there is no order of mysticism

sealteam66:
It is really not easy you have to practice obedience (to a spiritual l director), poverty and chastity, should any one be lacking you are on the wrong path, and do not thing that the devil doesn't work here, remember, what St Paul said(I cant remember were), He will transform himself into an angel of light to deceive

Get Ascent of Mount camel and dark knight of the soul, and practise what is contained inside. you will get what you are looking for

Poverty here is an under used word...when mystic talk about poverty, they aint saying poverty as most people know it....tru POVERTY MEANS THAT ONE REALIZES THAT HE OWNS NOTHING, not even the cloth he is wearing, not even his body cos it can be taken away at any time...

MYSTICISM IS NOTHING MORE BUT ACCEPTANCE OF WHAT IS, SURRENDER TO WHAT IS, SURRENDER TO LOVE.....TAO TE CHING IS ONE OF THE BEST BOOK I HAVE SEEN TEACHING WAY OF MYSTICISM IN PLAIN AND CLEAR LANGUAGE.....TRUTH IS GLARING TO ALL EYES AND NEED NOT BE SHROUDED IN COMPLEXITY

I hope i can how to also...hoping someone will pop in enlighten us

cocoduck:
I don't believe that. it is the Feds that recognise or declines the LGA created by state governments they will be funded directly from the national treasury. these theives are protesting because they will no longer be able to get so much awoof money any more. corruption fights back when you try to fight it these theives have no human sympathy. the level of corruption at state levels combined is bigger then any thing done at the federal level I support lg autonomy because I know my LGA chairman and his family, even if they cover themselves with kevlar we will still be able to get them and punnish them because we grew up together we see each other almost every day, we have access to them any time any day not how we do now that even a small pot hole we have to wait till the theif say okay do this.
how on earth did they become united in a twinkle of an eye? because they are theives and want to continue stealing.

so on point....LG Chairmen dare not be corrupt as the governors, they will bear the brunt immediately from the community. If we want real democracy and development then LG autonomy should be encouraged and sustained.



MOD please take this to the front page for better support and input from people.....seun pls we need this on frontpage

ProfCorruption:
LG autonomy is misguided. States should have full legislative powers to create and regulate LGs.

u truely represent your name

you are really a professor of corruption...yeye dey smell

ChimaAdeoye:
Exactly !

The LGAs have continued to be a drain pipe to waste 20% of the national budget! No single LGA ever embark on street building, gutter building or even building more elementary schools! It is all done by the state governments. So what do the LGAs do with the 20% federal allocation ? Except to share the money each month and wait for the next month's allocation to arrive and be shared.

The op must be one of those councillors looting this nation thru the dysfunctional LGA system

why would they embark on street building, gutter constructing and other you named when they dont have access to their fund, they are left to the whims and caprice of the governors.

if you want to know how local govt are being run now then you should revert back to your community and ask the type of power the chairman have now..they are more useless than church rat

MOD pls take this to front page and lets people support the grassroot development of our dear country

seanet02:
The hypocrisy of the federal government is heartwrecking. If they actually want autonomy for the local government, they must be ready to implement true fiscal federalism where the states are the one that will be collecting the oil royalties, taxes and other revenues before paying a stipulated percentage to the federal government. Fiscal federalism is the way, this yamayama they are doing is dead on arrival.

it will be dead on arrival because people like you are supporting the gorvornors to be using LG funds to settle those that support them without recourse to the indiginious community

rome was not built in a day, we cant get all we want the same day and time, we have to start somewhere and this LG autonomy is a very brilliant way to start..

LG autonomy is not yamayama but what the local communities really deserve.

Am sure u are no where close to the grassroot if not you will be aware of the atrocities governors performs with lg funds


am still waiting for why lg is an addendum to state govt and yet have Councillors

seanet02:
Local government cannot be granted autonomy under federal system of government. They are suppose to be addendum of the state government administrative function.

can you please explain what you mean by addendum?? what is the job of Councillors if LGs are just addendum to the state government

who says is wrong to adjust our own federal system of government to suit our culture and values for the progress of our communities

menabadoo:
I get your point but my argument is that "the LG chairmen also receives their own commission of these allocations, there's no way the governors will not be tipping them out of the money" and besides the LG level is also very corrupt.

yes they do because they are selected not elected, the state INEC is in the pocket of the governors, they do their biding and not the will of the people.

thanks to the senate and house of rep for cancelling state inec and giving autonomy to lg, with these to amendment development will reach the grassroot and the banner of performance will be raised as more credible people will vie for the office of chairman and Councillor

#operationsupportlocalgovernmentautonomy#

omenka:
Their opposition to LG autonomy is the greatest hypocrisy yet from the governors. They lobby for complete autonomy of their respective states yet don't want the LGAs to be autonomous. Perhaps it would have made more sense if the bill had sought to eliminate the FG's financial obligations to the LGs altogether, that way, they would stop being the cash cows they've been for the state governors and the political parties.

The only purpose served by the LGs as they stand today is just to finance Parties'/ governors' social activities and a platform to reward party loyalists and friends of governors.

I am pro LG autonomy, pro state autonomy, pro INEC autonomy, pro resource control, pro federalism, pro Buhari and pro APC.

Was, am, and will be anti PDP (at least for the foreseeable future).

there is nothing wrong in being anti PDP or GEJ, infact it should be encourage, we must continue having anti-pdp and anti-apc, that way elected officers will be on their feet..


thanks for lending your voice, we must all be pro good governance

I believe the LG is the only root to improve the life's of millions of Nigerians.
With autonomy for LG. It means there will be funds available for development project
My problem is that. How do we ensure accountability and tranparency.

it is extremely easy to ensure transparency and accountability at the lg level because this is the only government close to the people. these are the people that are active member of the community, people know them, they eat together, they know there parent, their sons and daughters, their source of income before coming to government. it is extremely hard to lie to the people at this level of governance versus the gorvernors

menabadoo:
Seconded, but my problem is the involvement of the LG chairmen in this corrupt act. The local government chairmen actually gets their own share of this allocation thereby making the funds meant for the development of their area a story for the gods. But I believe thing will get better if these funds are given directly to the LGAs and the chairmen are transparent with how the funds are expended.

actually right now lg chairmen dont have direct access to lg fund except throught the state government and that is where the crumbs happen.

chairmen are close to the grassroot hence they wont have the luxury of corruption like governors, lg chairmen are people the masses know very well, they know their family, they are active member of the community, thus making it very hard for them to misbehave like the gorvernors.

barcanista:
The Local government need 100% Autonomy and not tied to the string of Any Governor. It is a shame that governors now see LG as an appendice of their government. For God's sake LG officials are "supposed" to be elected, they shouldn't be at the mercies of the governors. They should stand on their own. LG's should be positioned to offer democratic dividends without recourse to the Governor. This act by the governors is absolutely unacceptable and shall be resisted.

thank you for supporting the truth... let us all come together and shun partisanship for the progress and development of our dear country.

All governors are guilty of this thats why they are shunning their differences to save their conduit pipe

lets say yes to lg autonomy

#operationsupportlocalgovernmentautonomy#

SLIDEwaxie:
The LG positions will nw become a do-or-die affair since they can now do things on their own...

Why can't we just scrape it?

They shld strengthen the people's gain before they even give those thieves the mantle..

Like: every local govt shld be compelled b law to construct street roads or provide electricity and so on..anything otherwise will be another drain...

right now LG dont have the power to anything except what the governors ask them to do...they are just there as figure to do the bidding of the state governors..
without lg autonomy nigeria democracy will have no meaning and development will continue to elude the grass root.

lg election right now is a selection process only by the governors, the people dont have a say at the grassroot, am very close to the grassroot and i see what this governors do on a daily basis to the lg
