And plis can someone tell me what is the deal with Rev. Wright? Me thinks he is doing Obama more harm than good

I've changed his name to Rev. Wrong.

The man is very intelligent, but I'm not sure if his common sense is active.
He has pretty much disabled himself everywhere. The whites do not want him and the blacks want him to freeze naked and alive.
I'm sure that his mighty book will be hot may be in Pluto.
It is absolutely ridiculous and also amusing how "men of God" allow ego and money to block them from seeing the bigger picture.

He reminds me of a man that was placed in a beautiful mansion, but intentionally relocated himself into a public shelter.

The man is not God, he can continue to fool himself around the world.
Obama will be fine, 'because God is on his side.

HILLARY CLINTON= Selfish, Desperate, Equivocal, Vicious, Unstable and a Lier!

I wonder why Hillary continues to loan herself campaign money while at the same time asks others to donate their money?
i.e she wants me to donate my little $20 so that she can reimburse herself; it doesn't make any sense.

I guess, it is true that you can trick some people sometimes, but it is impossible to trick all the people all the time.

It is time for the vulture to return back home; the game is over!

Is this the right moment for Hillary to return back home and allow Obama to focus on the big cake?

(Jimmy Carter is a former president of United States)

I'm just curious to know whether this action is good or bad for Nigeria as a nation?

Nigeria oil rebels pledge truce if Carter mediates


LAGOS (Reuters) - Niger Delta rebels promised on Tuesday to halt attacks on the oil industry if the Nigerian government would allow former U.S. President Jimmy Carter to act as a mediator.

The rebel Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND), whose campaign of violence helped lift oil prices to a new record on Tuesday, said Carter had accepted its offer to mediate in the conflict "on the condition that the Nigerian government and any other relevant stake holder invites him."

The Carter Centre's vice-president for peace programs, John Stremlau, said the former president would take such a request from all parties seriously but it was "woefully premature to suggest he will plunge himself into mediating this conflict."

MEND's campaign of violence has cut output in Africa's largest oil producer by around a fifth. It publicly approached Carter earlier this year to act as a negotiator.

"We are ready to call off all hostilities and hold a temporary ceasefire in honor of President Carter should the Nigerian government accept President Carter's initiative," MEND said in an emailed statement.

"However, if as expected, the government fails to seize on this new opportunity for peace, our actions will continue to speak volumes beyond the Nigerian shores."

Carter failed in a previous attempt to mediate in the Delta in 1999 and is familiar to many senior members of the different militant factions.

The Carter Centre informed MEND on Monday it would consider mediating in the conflict only if all sides requested it.

"The absolute first condition (for mediation) is that the Nigerian government has to approach us," Stremlau told Reuters.

In Washington, State Department spokesman Sean McCormack could not confirm Carter's potential mediation role but said there were already "mechanisms" in place to deal with political grievances in the Niger Delta.

"We believe the Nigerian government should also avail itself to those mechanisms," said McCormack who indicated some irritation with Carter's diplomatic role there.

The State Department strongly opposed Carter's recent meetings with the Palestinian militant group Hamas and advised the former president against seeing them.

OIL JITTERS

The bombing of a Royal Dutch Shell flowstation in the southern Nigerian state of Bayelsa on Saturday -- which caused little damage to oil infrastructure -- marked MEND's fifth strike in just over a month and the attacks are expected to worsen with the trial of militant leader Henry Okah beginning next month, analysts say.

Oil hit a record high of $122 a barrel on Tuesday, lifted by fears of fresh militant strikes in Nigeria, supply concerns in Iran and a forecast from Goldman Sachs that it may hit $200 a barrel due to lagging supply growth.

MEND has accused Nigerian authorities of mistreating Okah, who was deported from Angola in February, and denying him access to his lawyers.

"There is definitely a link to the Henry Okah trial in the resurgent violence," said one security analyst in Nigeria. "How it develops will depend on how they treat Okah and the final decision at the trial."

The militant group, which is split between a number of different factions, dismissed the stalled Niger Delta Summit organized by President Umaru Yar'Adua in an effort to bring peace to the vast, lawless swampland. It said it would not attend a meeting later this year in the capital Abuja.

"The Niger Delta Summit is failing because the government is talking to the wrong people," said Rolake Akinola, senior analyst for West Africa at Control Risks.

"It is a problem of Yar'Adua's leadership style."

And please, pump up the volume and witness a CHANGE we can believe in.

I love Obama and I'm pulling for him to win; but please do not let us get carried away (it is what it is, the man has no right to make this type of statement during his presidential campaign).

I will kindly label Obama's statement as rookie mistake (another indication that this man doesn't have the full experience yet).
I do not care who you are or where you come from; as a presidential candidate, you do not make such a degrading statement in regard to another nation. It is absolutely unacceptable.
I hope Obama gets himself together quickly and thinks a little bit more before making senseless statement.

The percentage of Nigerians involved in internet Scam letter is very little (less than 2%). It is unfair and stupid to disable or negatively label the entire nation, all for the sake of winning an election.
His statement is not funny, not sensible, unnecessary and absolutely foolish.

I wonder why Obama hasn't used Israel, UK or even Mexico negatively during his campaign. I also wonder why he has selected to release the low blow on Nigeria without any hesitation (I honestly thought the man was wiser). 
No need to justify his stupidity and also no need to continue to bash him, I still think he deserves a second chance.

Let's give him a break!

@Truequest: Good job

Bravo!

@poster:

For the sake of Mr. Gani's family, why not start a new topic to correct yourself?

The purpose of my post was to de-emphasize a topic that has no source and hope for the best for Mr. Gani's family. There is absolutely no one here promoting or praising anybody.

I just wish Mr. Gani all the best and again, I hope this topic is inaccurate.

I'm a little bit upset, but I'll give him a second chance.
I think he deserves it!

Different strokes for different folks
By Femi Adesina [ kulikulii@yahoo.com ]
Saturday, April 26, 2008

Two celebrations occurred within the week. And incidentally, the people at the very centres of it are from Ondo town, in Ondo State. They both turned 70 within two days of each other. Legal luminary, Chief Gani Fawehinmi (SAN) and top public relations specialist and former Minister of Information, Sir Chief Alex Akinyele.

At Gani Fawehinmi’s birthday party on Tuesday, the man was conspicuously absent. Why? He’s in a London hospital, battling lung cancer. For about a year now, the lawyer and human rights activist has spent more time in the hospital than out of it. Uniquely, however, his 70th birthday was graced not just by friends, relations and colleagues from the human rights community, but by those you can call the flotsam and jetsam of society. The blind, the lame, deaf, dumb, and generally destitute persons. It was a birthday party with a difference.

As you read this, Chief Alex Akinyele is holding a birthday thanksgiving service at the Anglican Church in Ondo. On Thursday, which was the actual day he turned 70, a book had been launched in his honour, and the Alex Akinyele Plaza was commissioned by no less a person than former military president, Gen. Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida. Truly, it’s different strokes for different folks.

When you look at the paradoxes of Fawehinmi and Akinyele at 70, you know that life can be baffling, confounding, enigmatic and puzzling. Two people from exactly the same background, born two days apart into poor families, and who through a combination of grace, luck and hard work, pulled themselves up by their boot straps, to get to the very top of their professions. You cannot write the history of the legal profession in Nigeria without Gani Fawehinmi being given prodigious mention.

Neither can the story of public relations be told without Alex Akinyele being mentioned as one of the very fathers. Now, see how fate has treated them differently at 70. Right was the Abami Eda, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti when he described life as a “bitch.” This bitch of a life. It gives you something with one hand, and takes away something with the other. It gave Gani professional success and acclaim, and at the critical period, took away his lungs. Bitch, bitch, bitch. Oh, life, you can be so cruel.

Remember the football coach, Theophilus Adeyemi Tella? Last September, he led the Golden Eaglets to win the World Cup in Korea. The world was at his feet, so we thought. One month later, he was dead. Of lung cancer. I did a piece then, with the title, ‘Tella: This bitch of a life.’ Permit me to quote a portion from that October 27, 2007 column, as it fits the issue at hand:
“Tella came back home, got cash gifts, a house, and many other rewards from an appreciative nation. At that point, it seemed the world was his oyster. At only 56, he could still coach different teams for the next 20 years. From obscurity to stardom. From anonymity to global centrestage. But Bernard Shaw was right when he said, “there are two tragedies in life. One is not to get your heart’s desire, the other is to get it.” Tella got his heart’s desire, and he also lost it. Few days after the triumphal return, he was at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) battling a relapse of the lung cancer. Triumph and Disaster, those two impostors (Rudyard Kipling) had teamed up to deal him a deadly blow.”

Crocodile tears? Some people may accuse me of celebrating Gani after I had excoriated him in a September 29, 2007 piece entitled ‘Once upon a Gani Fawehinmi.’ Yes, I accused him of ‘too know,’ that he had made himself supreme to the Supreme Court, that he had lost the virtues, ideals that made him our hero in the past. I said his support for Nuhu Ribadu, the then boss of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) bordered on zealotry, fanaticism, obsession. Yes, I still stand by all those. But lung cancer? You dare not wish anybody that evil. Not to Gani, not to anybody. Poor life. Bitchy life. Malicious life. Is that the reward Gani deserves from you after about 40 years of suffering in many prisons so that the rights of the average Nigerian will be guaranteed and preserved?

Akinyele too. Don’t think he got his 70 on a platter of gold. He virtually got it by the whiskers, by the edge of his luxuriant moustache. He told Daily Sun in an interview that between 2005 and 2007, he underwent four surgeries in foreign hospitals. And he added what I think is food for thought: “You don’t become 70 because you eat well, or live well, or because you cared so well for your life. You reach 70 only by divine grace.” May that grace be available to us all. Say amen, somebody.

Fawehinmi and Akinyele have so many things in common. Yet, they are dis-similar in very many other ways. I remember when Stella Obasanjo died on the surgery table abroad in 2005. News filtered into the country that it was in the process of procuring an abdominoplasty, popularly called tummy tuck, so that she could look stunning during her impending 60th birthday. The rumour was everywhere, but nobody verbalized it, maybe because of deference to the dead, or fear of the emperor in power. Until Gani came with a lengthy press statement, asking President Olusegun Obasanjo to clear the air on the cause of death of his wife. Most newspapers tucked the piece inside, but Daily Sun made it a cover choice. It became a major issue. So riled was Akinyele by what he described as Fawehinmi’s indiscretion and insensitivity that he called his Ondo compatriot all sorts of names. Trust Gani, he released his own scud missiles. It became real roforofo, and their paramount ruler, the Osemawe of Ondo, had to call for a truce. I did a piece on it then. The title was, ‘Ondo boys at war.’

Fierce loyalty. That is a hallmark of both people. Gani idolizes, nay worships Nuhu Ribadu and the anti-corruption war. Don’t say any evil of Ibrahim Babangida, or you have Akinyele to contend with. Ever loyal to the man who gave Ondo town its first minister ever.
Controversy. The two Ondo ‘boys’ love it. When there is a river of contention to jump into, they never tarry at the bank. They dive in with a mighty splash. There must be something in the water they drank as babies in Ondo that makes them so bold.
And this clincher of a similarity. They are no mean men where the opposite sex is concerned. Those close to Gani says he calls them “lubricants of the revolution,” and he has at least two official wives. Well, his religion permits it. Akinyele too has had three official wives, but he now says at 70, playing days are over. May it be so.

The Ondo ‘boys’ have made their marks. We can only pray that life will treat them much more kindly in the days and years ahead. Gani Fawehinmi particularly needs a divine touch now. May he get it. Amen.

ICPC quizzes Ehindero, ex-IG

FOR three hours yesterday, the immediate past Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Mr. Sunday Ehindero, was guest of the Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) to say all he knew about the controversial N557 million police arms deal.
The commission expressed satisfaction at the responses of Ehindero to most of the questions posed to him yesterday on the management of the arms funds, but said it could not rule out the possibility of charging him to court if prima facie evidence was established against him.

The money, now a subject of investigation, was donated to the Police by the Bayelsa State government for procurement of arms and ammunition.

The commission said it would analyse the evidence given by Ehindero with a view to determining whether he should be charged to court or not.

He left the commission’s premises at about 12.30 p.m. yesterday.
Ehindero arrived the ICPC headquarters in Abuja, dressed in agbada made of ankara at exactly 9. 30 a.m. He drove there in a brown Mercedes EL and was received by ICPC operatives, who took him into the chambers for interrogation. He was thereafter granted bail on self recognition.

Vanguard gathered that the former IG admitted collecting the N16 million generated as interest from the bank where the money was lodged but added that he had no record of how the money was spent or what it was spent on.

“He wrote in his statement that it was true that the Bayelsa State government released the money to the police to buy arms, Armoured Personnel Carriers (APCs) and ammunition to enable the force fight increasing crime wave and militancy in the area. He also agreed that a sum of N16 million was generated as interest during the period it was in the bank and some paper work was being done,” sources said.

He admitted collecting the money from the former CP Budget, Obaniyi, but could not remember what the money was used for. On a second thought, he said the money was used for operational purposes.

The source said when Ehindero was asked to put in writing or itemise the things the money was used for, he declined, saying: “It is Obaniyi that should do that because he was the one releasing the money.”

When Ehindero was told that CP Obaniyi had earlier appeared before ICPC and alleged in his statement that he handed over the N16 million in cash to him (Ehindero), the former IG was said to have barked at his interrogators thus: “I hope you people want to end well in this profession!”

The operatives: “Sir, our prayer is that for a former IG, this case will end well for you!”
He replied by telling them that, “I was one of those who drafted the law on the establishment of this ICPC and I have handled many investigations in the past, so you must understand that in operations, there are cases we handle without necessarily taking records of money because of their importance.”

The controversial N557 million was given to the Police by former Governor of Bayelsa State, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, to buy arms and ammunition to strengthen security in the state following a request to that effect by Ehindero.
Ehindero was said to have lodged the money in a fixed deposit account for some months before he informed the President that he had received the vote.

Two other police officers involved were said to have made very useful statements during their interrogation, which prompted the invitation of the IG yesterday for questioning.

Two officers pledge to refund N27 million

Meanwhile, the other officers promised to refund their share of the N27 million, which is the total sum said to have been diverted from the N557 million vote for arms and ammunition.

By Tuesday, the officers had jointly refunded a total sum of N10 million. According to the source, a total N3 million was refunded as the first installment, while another N7 million was refunded on Tuesday.

The Resident Consultant, Media and Events to ICPC, Mr. Folu Olamiti, confirmed the interrogation of Mr. Ehindero at the ICPC Headquarters yesterday but said investigation was still on-going.

On the other information supplied by Ehindero, Olamiti said: “That is for our own consumption, it is not for you. We can’t give you or release the information to you because the investigation is still going on the matter.”

However, he said if there was any need, the former IG might be recalled.
Mr. Olamiti said the ICPC would only take a critical look at its laws and if it was discovered that the former IG had committed an offence, he would be charged to court. However, as at yesterday afternoon, the ICPC was still expecting a former Minister who was also alleged to have been involved in the deal.

Mr. Ehindero was named acting Inspector-General of Police on January 18, 2005 to succeed Mr. Tafa Balogun who was forced out of the Force for corruption himself. He was confirmed on August 17, 2005 and was disengaged on May 30, 2007 after 36 years in service.

Compared to how many billions and trillions of dollars slaves made for their own black people who sold them over a period of hundreds of years to caucasians, Asians and the rest of the world?? You mean compared to your ancestors who benefitted from selling their own brothers and sisters to get rich quick and also to bolster their stand in society?? Compared to the money the many child slaves we have in africa today make for their masters each year for years now??

I mean let us not be hypocrites here. Africa owes them reparations as well for all the money we gained by selling them all off and using them to build our different empires for hundreds of years as well.

I honestly feel that folks just come here freely to display their level of mental torpidness just for the sake of mighty free forum and their possession of an ignorant witless mind.

What a pot head!

I clearly understand your point, but I still think that none of us is in a position to accurately call that shot.
I'm not for it and I'm also not against it, basically because my forefathers weren't slaves.
I think it would be insensible for me to make that determination regardless of what these folks (African Americans) may be going through.

Just curious; why do you think blacks do not deserve any special treatments for being slaves for many years in America?

There is nothing wrong supporting a nursing or pregnant mother.

Absolutely, there is nothing wrong with it, but still it doesn't place you in a position to be able to accurately describe what women go through during this process (only if you happen to be an hermaphrodite).

But the idea that a law should be passed so that blacks in America will be payed some money because they are black or because their forefathers were slaves is what am concerned about

.

It doesn't have to be money, it could be a simple apology.

No more room for affirmative action, there will be equal resources available to all races so too will there be equal opportunities and open competition amongst kids of all races, at least that is Obama's vission of America.

I have confidence that Barack will handle race or black issues effectively and intelligently with absolutely no questions. The man is not only well informed, he's also full of priceless wisdom, which is of course very scarce today among various leaders.

slavery benefits

I will also say that, let us be prudent with our statement; I clearly do not think any of us is in a position to support or to go against Slavery Benefits.
It is absolutely impracticable for a man to accurately describe what women go through during the birth of a child.

Absolutely bla! bla! bla! and bunch of voo-le-voo!

Three days ago, you put up a write up praising this same Wright and today you are calling him a mad man and calling on Obama to "kill" him before he kills Obama.

@nuzo:

Good post; but it will also be nice for you to pay attention to when I stated that "It is damn too difficult to predict human beings"
I do not blame Obama for anything and I do not hate Rev. Wright, but if I have my way I will surely freeze the old man naked and alive.
After presenting an incredible and educational speech on Sunday, yes I was on Rev Wright's shi t just like many others; but on Monday, a new man emerged and showed the world how dumb and inconsiderate human beings in general could be.
His defective ego is getting the best of him.

If he's so smart, so spiritual and lusting badly for the liberation of blacks in America, I think the old man should have known better.
FYI: It was also confirmed yesterday that prior to his preposterous stage performance, he was begged and asked by many not to come out at this time, but the man refused to listen.
I'm sick and tired of folks exploiting "freedom for blacks" to attain their own personal and selfish agenda.

He shouldn't be thrown under the bus; I say, throw him under the raw iron caterpillar.

I hope the sale of his new book makes him a rich man!

I'm totally disappointed.

First of all I love Obama very much!

But as a leader reaching for a priceless big cake, you must never allow any imbecilic thing to obstruct your chances; also you must never allow others' personal actions or character to derail your mission. This is why leaders (politicians) mostly denounce everybody including their mothers during the process of accomplishing their goals (before being elected).

Obama had a great opportunity few weeks ago to freeze this man (Rev. Wright) naked and alive, but did not take advantage of the opportunity. He allowed his passiveness, inexperience and bright reputation to take control; which is not a terrible thing. But when it comes to politics and winning an election (for a gigantic position for that matter), I say, kill him before he kills you.
It is damn too difficult to predict human beings, and politics on the other hand is very dirty; I personally see nothing wrong with being proudly dirty sometimes.

Obama needs to systematically come out swinging like a mad man and defend his stance.
I see this as another opportunity for him to use Rev Wright to send message to the world that he's tough, he's ready and can withstand the pressure; after-all, no one wants a weak president.
I hope Obama has the stamina, mental strength and wisdom to recover quickly before the Vulture (H Clinton) lands!

Obama 'outraged' by Wright's remarks


Sen. Barack Obama said he is "outraged" by comments his former minister, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, made Monday at the National Press Club and "saddened by the spectacle."


Sen. Barack Obama on Tuesday denounced comments made by the Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

1 of 2 "I have been a member of Trinity Church since 1992. I have known Rev. Wright for almost 20 years," he said at a news conference in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. "The person I saw yesterday is not the person I met 20 years ago."

Obama said he is outraged by Wright's remarks that seemed to suggest the U.S. government might be responsible for the spread of AIDS in the black community, and his equation of some American wartime efforts with terrorism.

"What particularly angered me was his suggestion somehow that my previous denunciation of his remarks were somehow political posturing," said Obama, who added that Wright had shown "little regard for me" and seemed more concerned with "taking center stage."

Earlier this year, some of Wright's outspoken sermons, circulated and widely discussed on the Internet and on television, became an issue in the Democratic presidential race because of the former pastor's ties to Obama.

In one sermon, Wright said America had brought the September 11, 2001, attacks upon itself. In another, he said Sen. Hillary Clinton had an advantage over Obama because she is white.

Obama gave a speech on race relations during the height of the controversy with Wright and said he rejected Wright's racially charged comments but could not repudiate the man himself.

Don't Miss
Rev. Wright more than sound bite
Obama's ex-pastor speaks out about church
Obama's ex-pastor speaks out
Obama on Monday said Wright's remarks were "antithetical to our campaign, it was antithetical to what we're about."

"I cannot prevent him from making these remarks," but "when I say I find these comments appalling I mean it. It contradicts what I'm about and who I am , It is completely opposed to what I stand for and where I want to take this country."

In a break with previous comments, Obama focused his criticism on Wright the man, and not simply his remarks.

Obama said he gave Wright "the benefit of the doubt" before his speech on race relations.

"What we saw yesterday from Rev. Wright was a resurfacing and, I believe, an exploitation of these old divisions," Obama said.

He said he had not spoken with Wright since the minister's Monday speech, though he would not rule out a conversation with him in the future

http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/04/29/obama.wright/index.html

REV. JEREMIAH WRIGHT, TRINITY UNITED CHURCH OF CHRIST: I'm a pastor. We speak to two different audiences. And he (Obama) says what he has to say as a politician. I say what I have to say as a pastor. But they're two different worlds.

I do what I do. He (Obama) does what politicians do. So that's what happened in Philadelphia where he (Obama) had to respond to the sound bytes, he (Obama) responded as a politician.

I admire all the incredible accomplishments of Rev Wright, I even adore his last night NAACP speech; but I'm not sure if I'm feeling his latest speech that was held today.
I think that if this man is truly for the effective fight for the freedom of blacks in America, he needs to quickly stay quiet and remain in his corner. There is perfect timing for everything and this is absolutely not the time for Mary go round speeches.
He's indirectly killing Obama's chance to win this election.

African Americans:

Yes, they do not have our wonderful African culture
Yes, they do not function like we do
Yes, some of us even feel that we are better than them
Yes, they blame whiteman for all their tribulation
Yes, they kill each other with very little hesitation

But my friends, I want you to slow down a bit and understand that if it wasn't for these same folks (African Americans) and their everlasting fight for freedom, none of us today:
would be living in those fat houses
would be getting those fat paychecks
would be getting married to those hot (gif me a break) Blondie blue eyes chicks
would be driving those fancy cars
would be working those enormous overtime and sending Dollars home monthly
would be sitting in front of the bus
would be collecting those food stamps and living rent free

Please, stop being a slave driver, and disrespecting these folks. There are enormous reasons why they function the way they do.
Just don't take advantage of what they continue to fight and die for; it pays more and very clever to be our brothers' keeper.
Instead of beating them down and judging them, I say get to understand their mind set, their history, their struggle and encourage them with your support.
No one is also asking you to hate white or make all issue a race issue, but at the same time do not be foolish!

They are willing to accept you and very open to self empowerment, but only if you're willing to accept different as being different and not deficient.

Who is this incredible man?

Update coming soon!

@BigB1
Thinly veiled insults are so named because they are, in fact, thinly veiled.

You've given me no other choice, but to keep it real.
I'm very sorry!

Now, let me throw down the gauntlet and challenge you: Show  posts from nairaland from me showing me damning my 'brothers and sisters' as being evil, or forever remain a loud-mouthed retard.

@Texazzpete:
I'm not sure if Mr. Blantat mentioned anybody's name.

You remind me of a very popular Yoruba/ Hausa proverb, called an extremely self-conscience vegetable seller!

"An unnecessary defensive reaction to all things is a sign of defectiveness and weakness"

It is either you're a new kid on the block (very young mentally) or you play too much playstation; please get with it and discover the truth about life!

The main message: Different is not Deficient!

Did Rev Wright deliver or polarize Obama's chance of being the next president of United States of America?
