Re: US Confirmed Receiving Warning From Father - Nigerian Bomber
« #11 on: December 27, 2009, 05:47 PM »
I believed the father is a culpable as the son for many reasons;

1. The father must take responsibility for the up bringing of his son and he must have been brought up with radical Muslim indoctrination.

2. The father is responsible for the boy's extravagant life style, since we are not told the boy is gainfully employed, where is he getting the funding to be traveling everywhere. For him to be able to obtain a US multiple visa, his father must have provide some sort of backing for him.

3. Why did the father not warn the US embassy on the exact nature of the threat, in order words, why did he not provide actionable intelligence instead of the nebulous warning of a threat. Can you truly say that the son had confided in the father the exact nature of those threats.
You cannot blame the US for not taking the threat serious enough.

4. Why did he not report the threat to the Nigerian authorities, preferably the SSS. They would have been a greater security checks on him while he was in Nigeria, especially when he is traveling in and out of Nigeria. The SSS are a quite efficient in monitoring the movements of people (especially enemies of government) in and out of our airports.

The father has some questions to answer.

Absolute Phecking Bollocks!

Oun te she ma ya mi lenu o baba (2X)
E nu omi ije mi nu
E sekun m derin oooo
Oun ti she ma ya mi lenu o baba

Where should I start from? From all the people that sought visa, God favored me to come to this country in 2008. Since then he has been protecting me and providing for me. I have had good grades, kept my scholarship, got an internship, not fallen sick, not fallen victim to robbery or any form of physical or spiritual attack. What more can I ask for? Sometimes, I ask myself, "What recession are these people talking about?" Because I dont even feel it. All my needs have been taken care of. Baba u too much oooo. But there is one but. I dont think I have done enough in the way I live my life to appreciate God. I am still held back by all those sins and weights that pull a christian down. In fact, sadly, I can say that the more God has done for me since I came to this country, the more I have withdrawn from him. I am ingrate. Please Nairalanders help me pray that I find my way back to my first love in the New Year. May God see us to the New Year and beyond. Amen.

That would have to be any form of rice.

Maga don pay! Shout Hallelujah! On a more serious note, I pity you. May God give you the wherewithal to bear the loss. One minute silence for the bereaved!

Well,  the list is a long one but I think the following will do for this

a)   Person with proven leadership track record
b)   A great team player
c)   Has managed at least 5K people in the past and shown his/herself capable of not only delivering and running a good team, but also understands that he/she is responsible for work done by each and every member of his/her team
d)   Good understanding of job responsibilities, government and the role of the people in government
e)   Great understanding and openness to listen to the people at all levels
f)   Ability to ensure command our military
g)   Ability to represent us internationally
h)   Ability to manage the government, making sure decisions and programs are carried out effectively, with help of members of the cabinet
i)   Understands that his/her duties are to SERVE the people even as he/she is appointed to rule
j)   Ability to make decisions(especially under pressure) that will better the lot of the citizenry

Stu pid. The list is long and empty.

And of course, even with this long list, kobojunkie's candidate can be visionless (there is no mention of vision in the long empty list). Not only can kobojunkie's candidate be a visionless clown, they are also allowed to be corrupt (no mention of corruption in the long empty list). Also, they can be either cowards or plain daft (no mention of courage, wisdom or intelligence). . . I could go on until 2010, so many commonsense attributes of a leader are missing. . .

The list is just a loud effusion of hot air (but then, they say our words define us). There is no point shouting others down, when you have little (or nothing) to offer.

Could not have said it better. You took the words from my mouth.

Absolute Fecking Legend!

Could not have said it better!

Well I dont know how most Nigerians see things some are outside the country feel and think they much and some are around yet will I say confused no ignorant.
Well on the topic Iweala is good going on her records I can say she's honest & gat will power but on the other hand can she withstand pressure or will she run to come back another day(resign).
On issue about new n old meat well on nija corridors of power fellow new meat are not allowed. The kind of leader that can deliver Nig for me is a sort of a freedom fighter someone who can fight for a cause who can stand up face the leaders and say enough is enough who can organise peacefull rallies an eloquent speaker who can stand n let us identify our problem n priority and so on for only then can we say no to corruption no to power failure no to pdp no intimidations etc .
However, this our Mandela , Luther king, Che Guevara can be ol or new meat its just all about dedication,determination n love for ones country cos u might not be alive to see it accomplished .

It seems to me that KoboJunkie may have an axe to grind with Okonjo-Iweala. Pray tell, how do you say that the woman is not fit to be president and then cannot give specific reasons why. My two cents:

-Based on her experience with economic and financial issues in the international circle, I think she is the kind of president Nigeria needs. She is not your average Yaradua or Obasanjo who get into politics for non-altruistic reasons ranging from corruption to ethnicity. If she decides to contest, more likely than not it will be because she feels she is capable of making a significant positive difference in the country. She is already internationally renowned and does not need to meddle in the Adedibu-style Amala politics that has now made my beloved country its permanent abode.

-Also, regarding Kobo's talk of new meat vs. old meat, I will say its simply utopian to expect that a political nobody from the mountains of Koma or whereever will wake up one morning and discover that he/she is the landlord of Aso Villa. Even Obama was already a Senator, albeit a junior one, before he became President. In fact, I believe that Okonjo and Fashola are in the mold of Obama in terms of experience and exposure to Federal politics.

-Finally, I dont see why anyone that means well for Nigeria will not see this as a possible good move for the country. Think of it, when last did this country have at its helm, a proven world-class intellectual? For the better parts of our history, we have had to make do with half-baked dimwits like Yaradua and full-fledged political thugs like Obasanjo. In people like Okonjo-Iweala and Fashola, we have first-class minds who have succeeded in their personal endeavors and who have the requisite knowledge ( especially economic ) to move Nigeria to prosperity. Granted that Okonjo-Iweala may not know the ropes in terms of dealing with the difficult terrain of ethnic politics in Nigeria, but to dismiss her outrightly without acknowledging her potential is at best myopic and at worst plain dumb. Besides the ethnic and religious wranglings that seem destined to send this nation on the journey the likes of the Rwandans and Balkans have been on, the single most important problem this country faces is the economy and how to translate the national wealth into prosperity for the population. If this premise is true, then I submit that given experience with international monetary and financial policy making, and her excellent record as Finance Minister in Nigeria, Dr. Mrs. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, at the very least, deserves to have her potential as a viable Nigerian President acknowledged. Thank You.

As he got down in her, he licked her salty skin.

The above remark was rather salty, right?

crude

If you look at the poverty stats, Lagos has a relatively lower level of poverty. The higher levels of poverty in the South West is due to the surrounding states. In Nigeria, there are greater levels of poverty in the rural areas than the urban areas.

What these stats reveal is the total disconnect between Govt investment and the poverty levels. A good lesson for lefties everywhere, including the UK/US. If state intervention reduced poverty, the North will have far lower levels of poverty.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I would have to disagree with this view. How do the stats reveal a disconnect between government investment and poverty levels? Are u insinuating that the Federal Government has done more for the North than for the South? In reality, the Federal Government does not directly intervene in the lives of Nigerians. Whatever economic conditions exist in individual parts of Nigeria are due as much to the policies of the state government as they are to the policies of the Fed. And in a country like Nigeria where the Federal Government has not done its parts in creating the enabling conditions for economic prosperity, are you really advocating that the government (both Federal & State) should not directly intervene in creating economic prosperity through poverty reduction and social welfare programs?

Same arrogance and insults. See who is talking about being intelligent. Your mates dey become the next Bill Gates, u dey waste ur life for NL.

About a year ago, on Sunday nights, some interesting programs were shown on Nigerian TV. On NTA, a drama with a HIV/AIDS theme was shown. And at about the same time, on STV, there was a comedy, with a certain Warri boy as the main cast. He was the house-boy in a family and it was very funny. Please, who knows the name of the drama or the boy. I need to give him his $10000 award money for the best upcoming Warri artist, given by the National Council of Warfi in the White Man's Land. Thanks.

And by the way, I have a huge crush on Stella Damascus and Rachel Maddow.

Just watched OGD ALL Stars. Aww. I miss home.

After unconsciously researching the overestimated issue of relationships, I have come to the conclusion that "almost" all relationships have something in common- their initiation and sometimes their continued existence is motivated by the mutual SELFISHNESS of all the involved parties.

I use the word "almost" only because i want to give some of the people who answered my questions an opportunity to exempt themselves from this categorization, even though i will not personally exempt most, if not all, of them.

Though i consider this cowardly, i also consider it wise, since it helps me to preserve some somewhat important relationships.

This conclusion is the product of a continued questioning of my suuroundings and a never ending commitment to understanding by reflecting and analyzing. Some say it is complicated, i say its living and not just existing.

When i asked the question "Why are you in this relationship," in different forms, "almost" all the answers i received pointed to the fact that the respondents were in the relationship to gain something from it. "Almost" no one was in the relationship with a defined purpose of adding something to it.I may not be able to give explicit details because i have to protect the privacy of those who responded to my questions at one time or the other. I also consider this cowardly and wise for the same aforementioned reason.

Let me quickly comment that it is alright with me if you consider my views utopian or poorly thought out. I also tend to see them in the same light.

Everyone wants a boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, wife, or any other person, that will among other things:

-show them love
-show them care
-accept them
-be a good person
-bring out the best in them
-be a good spouse in the future
-give them the emotional attachment they desire


I do not remember anyone saying "My main aim of going into this relationship is to:"

-give love
-give care
-accept someone
-show someone that i am a good person
-bring out the best in someone
-give someone the needed emotional attachment

The closest most respondents came was to say that they will only give these things if there is hope of receiving something back.

Worse still, some respondents chided other people who go into relationships for sex or money. The truth is that such people are just as good or bad as any of us since they are also into relationships because of the pleasure they will derive from it or the money they will make from it.

I regret to announce that i am very much guilty of the aforementioned "offences."

I once read a view similar to mine in a book i saw in Jeanise's room titled "I Kissed Dating Goodbye." However, i did not reckon with it at that time because i considered it to be the product of some spiritual dogmatism. I know better now.

The fact that upon reflection, i can come to the same conclusion as the author of that book says much about all what Dr. Edmonds has been saying about thinking and writing.

I may propose a solution after i read your proposals in your comments.

R.I.P May her soul rest in peace.

This is so irritating, boring and dumb. Flavio and CLLondon, you both reek of unbridled arrogance and superiority complex. If you do not want nigerian men, u can go for russina, angolan, somlian. rwandan or even men from hell. But do not come here to insult our collective sensibilities.

Just checked out the Ope girl. She take style worwor. Me i no know aw oponu like 190 go dey disgrace men, dey make the girl feel sey she pass as she be. Me i don tell my God sey for this life, i no go bring myself so low for anygirl. Na yes or no. Afterall, there are many fishes in the river, or is it many meat in the pot of soup.

I have never tasted either. But I have found akata babes to be pretty and more often than not, very well endowed. The 9ja babes for here take style worwor. Maybe na because i dey for HBCU area. But akata babes dey very tempting and dey no get shakara. Infact u go dey receive offers and attention wey 9ja girls no fit give u.

This news makes me happy. It is high time NIgeria is put in its proper place and made to realize it is a yeye giant of Africa. Truth be told, we have lost our relevance and importance in the comity of nations and we deserve whatever shiete is plastered on our face. I hate this country. I am sorry but before my very eyes i saw how my family deteriorated under useless poilicies of God-forsaken modafukers posing as leaders. Siooo. Eyin oponu , afofun gbemu eniyan wonnyi.

Me, I am not sure whether or noi i will get married. I know my mother will almost kill me when she hears this. BUt, eh, i just realize that all of this stuff about marriage and love is not really deep. The koko of the whole matter is that people want sex and someone they can call their own who will give them (and only them) affection, support, care and other posititve emotions. When a partner stops offereing this or when another person seems to give you more butterflies in your belly, it becomes inevitable that u look outside. Being the logical person that i am, this makes perfect sense, but the world does not see it that way. So i will have to get amrried to please the world and then break someone's heart when a new omopupa makes my belle rumble and tumble.

Na una sabi o. As far as I know, after God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit, Adeboye and Obama come next. THe way some people are hurling vitriolic statements at this man, one would think they are sinless. I know that Nigerian people do not like better thing. Idi ko baje lehin sha ma n wa n tiyin.
