Atlanta hawks are really frightening erryone right now!..........cousins get to replace kobe #allstar game, rose is hitting form!!!!!!!!!! Hehehehehehehehehe

they are well coached, and its obvious Milsap's discipline is also driving this team. I think come playoffs, their lack of superstars will hurt them in round 2

Decision so far: I will quote a pro Buhari poster "birdman" in his post above

What does this tell you ? What can you get out of this piece of information ? Here is someone who has not been president yet but is already selling out to the imperialists, sworn enemies of Africa,the same people he claims to hate, same ones you horn around how he fought against, i can tell you this and stand on it, this is just a tip of the iceberg, but as i said earlier i won't say things that you might ask for proof about. This scenario is seeing it through within the organization, Buhari sees it that by pledging allegiance to the powers that be he gets his presidency, a level higher (Tinubu's)Tinubu sees it that if he brings his sacred cow to his handlers(whom advised and arranged the meeting) he has a better chance of sustaining their support. A level higher(handlers view) the handlers believes getting a leverage on all the APC candidates would mean they can coordinate the whole operations and decisions to meet whatever their objectives are,whether civil war, prolonged mayhem or anything you can think of.

I'll stick to my part of your long post.

1. When Obama visited other countries during his first presidential run, was he selling out to Kenya, Europe etc ?
2. When our founding fathers (Awo, Zik, Bello etc) visited Britain, USA etc during our push for independence, were they selling out?
3. When Jonathan visited the US, did he sell us out?

Do you not understand that when you are running for power in a country that is a regional hegemon, the statesmanly thing is to visit the stakeholders of other regional powers, state your views and establish yourself? Doing so not only sets the stage for a relationship if you do win, it sends a signal to every regionalpower that in the interest of peace and stability, the visitor must be protected. Do you think Kerry visiting Nigeria and insinuating that the president cannot bully Buhari was an accident?

I bring up these points, because it speaks to a larger issue here, namely your penchant for connecting evidence where there is none. I have often time disagreed with you, and a few others for this conspiracy minded rhetoric. There is a difference between being on guard and chasing every shadow.

Unless you have proof that Buhari compromised himself in these state visits, you are simply passing theories up as facts. Its time for Nigerians to WAKE UP and stop playing games. When we clearly see two candidates and wht they stand who, who supports them and their track record, the choice is very clear. I have a whole lot more respect for people who choose either side. Anyone sitting on the fence at this point is blind and doesnt know it.

I came back to Nigeria in August and has remained till now, i can tell you that the situation in the nation itself is not reflected neither in the news or in the net and i really wonder why, there is a sort of ripe tension in the atmosphere, all the Hausa guys in the east are going back North since early January and many Southerners in the north are coming down South ,this has never been witnessed before in the history of Nigeria, such ripe fear and expectation of disaster ready to be plucked by any "socially Aware" enemy nation with a functioning Psy-Ops team. The callousness by which the politicians go about their business irrespective of what is going on is bone chilling. The Mallam that guards my house just informed me he will be leaving on the 8th of next month, i never bothered to ask him why.

People are fully aware of the situation. Nigeria is a peculiar place, with the ability to absorb certain kinds of information. The nation is indeed on the edge, I can attest to that. But it will survive. The tension is everywhere, but I believe the irresponsible utterances of certain leaders is not only making the east look more dangerous than it really is, it is putting the east in a politically disadvantaged situation regardless of who wins. *shakes head*

Buhari will win but will not serve his full tenure as the president which will then result in the breakup of Nigeria and civil war: with the western imperialist prediction that Nigeria will breakup by 2015 in mind, and the subsequent appearance of terrorism in the form of Bokoharam, the heightened tribal sentiments that sorrounds Nigerian politics, If Buhari wins the presidential election, the CIA might choose to assassinate him in order to have the north interpret it as a ploy by the southern Nigerians to deny them a position that they won free and fair, violence will follow which enemy agents whom are expecting such outcomes will fan and support with weapons,logistics and diplomatic support and raise it to a full blown civil war. GEJ’s silly decisions to allow foreign security agents into the nations security apparatus has given the enemies the opportunities to recruit as much insiders as possible making it easier to assassinate any president in office and incapacitate the national security’s efforts to contain the violence that follows. APC candidates are few whom has not blown their cover as western puppets. Can we sincerely ask what happens if Buhari gets assassinated ?

I think you have an unnerving faith in the ability of external opposition to scuttle Nigeria. The APC folks laid the groundwork to protect from the scenario you described. It was subtle, and most people missed it, but your scenario is unlikely for that reason. I personally do not like Tinubu, but I have to say I admire his foresight on this. A series of events and meetings took place about 3-5 months ago and Buhari has been presented to world power brokers (individuals not countries). At this point, touching Buhari is very unlikely. The only wahala I forsee is that GEJ actually is not very bright. In a fit of panic, he may take foolish advice and try to 'solve' the Buhari wahala. Even this scenario will not break up the country. There are spiritual and material underpinnings that are keeping Nigeria together as we speak, and it is going to take more than a panicked presido to scuttle what appears to be the long range destiny of Nigeria.

Anyone who has any sort of prayer life ought to be praying for the country right now.

curry=mvp

I thought of curry powder at first ....like WTH . I need to rededicate myself to the game lol

its a mistranslation. In 1 Samuel 6:6, you can see another account. It was pharoah that hardened his heart.Translating Hebrew to English often involves concepts that are alien to the culture of the translator, At such places, you will usually see translators making interpretations based on their cultural biases. You can see the same when you read up a Yoruba bible for example.

The important thing is that it is dangerous to build theology based on one bible verse. You need several verses speaking in alignment to do so. When you see a misaligned verse like "The LORD hardened pharoah's heart" in exodus, you can usually tell there is translational bias because this does not jive with the overall character of God portrayed in the bible.

There is Hope for Nigeria, the prices will soon start going up. Becos most of the Shale Oil production will have to stop @ the current rate.
Which will cos increase in demand and reduced supply until it gets to maybe 70 smth or 80 dollars per barrel.

But it may take some time!!!

even at 80 Nigeria is still in trouble

You have to tell her. Before you do, make sure your family know, tell her, then all of you confront him. In fact, if you are in good terms with your in-laws family, let them know, so that everyone can shame him into his responsibilities. This, unfortunately is the only solution I know for goat like behavior. But you guys must be prepared for the fact that this wont end well. The marriage could very well be over. Single motherhood is not an easy thing in Nigeria. Either way, you know your sister is safe from whatever disease her husband's risky behavior might bring.

The stoopid ediot who said Buhari should be flogged. Someone old to be your father?
You for no apologize na! Make pesin follow wish to flog your own papa.

Oloriburuku somebody!

take it easy. the guy has apologized. this is the kind of behavior we should be encouraging. thank God not everyone is crazy. there are still people who can admit wrong honorably

Roland17:
After a 24 game losing streak to Western conference teams we finally defeated a western conference team away at Portland albeit without the injured L. Aldridge, Sulinger had a great night, that last hustle play to get Turner an assist for the three was huge..
#Celtics..

I applaud your loyalty

Warriors opening a can of whoop @ss on my rockets . I haven't followed the nba much this season, first time I'm seeing the warriors play. These guys are legit.

Looking at the top 3 teams both east and west, I wonder if the days of the superstar teams are over. Of the little I have watched of these teams, discipline, clock management and bball iq look like the common thread. Or maybe the talent level in the league is now deep enough to match superstar powerhouses like cavaliers, bulls, spurs, even thunder

when you should be thanking your God that you found this out before you actually married her. You promising future just avoided a huge gaping pothole. Delete the pic, her no, anything else associated with her and move on. Paying her back will imply to your future prospective spouse that you may not be completely trustworthy and can be vengeful. Make a clean break and move on...

in other words dont be a learner

I Don't agree with this post.

Pretty, powerful women, not powerful women

It is sad that most people don't know nigeria's problem and how to tackle it.

Over-population is the biggest problem that nigeria has, we are a country of over 170 million people, while england is not up to 55million, though in 1960 both countries population was just 50m. Nobody is talking about population , and yet the expect progress.

Japan has roughly the same population size. On a tiny island. I dont see anyone crying about overpopulation out there. We have a larger land mass, access to the sea and far more resources.

Corruption is another problem, but the fact remains that even if nigeria is 90% corruption free, only very little will change, there still be massive unemployment because the country has not embraced technology, productivity will still be low. \

Wrong. Large population means large economy. It is why brazil, india, china, japan , usa are able to thrive. If anything, the fact that we have a low technology adoption rate is an opportunity for a few tech heads to become billionaires. A transparent government goes a long way in leveling the playing filed for entrepreneurs who dont have 'connect'

The fact remains that things will not get better in the next fouryears , whether gej or buhari is there or not. I pity buharis fans , they will be disappointed. There is no miracle in economic transformation, it is only long term planning, work and disciple that transforms a country

I think you are mistaken. I for one am not expecting Buhari to walk in there and do magic tricks. I want rule of law, a president who acts in the best interest of his country instead of IMF or world bank, and who can stand shoulder to shoulder, head high with any other world leader. If he does that, Nigerians are dynamic enough to transform the economy. Is it not this same Nigeria producing the likes of Fashola, Duke, Soyinka, Dangote etc

Zoharariel:
Thank you, my brother. The American & the British governments know GMB is a bad market for their agenda.

They know GMB will not hesitate to sideline & cut them off, just like he did to them in 1984, resulting in the I.B.B coup d'etat in August 1985, which was a C.I.A & MI6 backed plot.

Our concern now should be GMB's safety because we do not need star gazers & astrologers to tell us the C.I.A & MI6 will throw hits at him again just like they attempted in Kaduna.

GMB definitely needs protection at this point. An attempt on his life has been made once. I can see an outside entity trying to take him out and implicate our clueless GEJ. Its already been tried once this year.

Blazinraj01:
Buhari has not even won the election, he has simply won his party's ticket. Why do they all sound threatened?

are you minding them? all of a sudden his speech isnt good enough. As if GEJ is an orator

CFCfan:
It's called "professionalism". Her husband knew she was an actor, and thus, should not be surprised if other men are kissing her in movies/tv series.

It may be cute to see your girlfriend getting smashed on a TV show, but no real man can watch that happen when girlfriend becomes wifey. As much as I would blame the husband for tying the knot when he knew what he was getting to, it still sucks. As a married woman, some things ought to be out of the question. If you take till death do us part vows, I assume you understand that your marriage comes before your job

emestephen595:
With dis, it can tell u I'm not being motivated by neither tribe nor religion and state of residence.

bro, you might as well not vote. I think the SE will be carried by PDP easily through a combo of rigging and n4ked tribalism. There are folks who cant see straight when a Fulani man is talking

robinsoncrosoe:
only fools and people without thinking faculty will bliv these crap.do u guys think we are all northern almajiris that don't kw their left from right

its all documented. google it. and the last time chad tried to cause wahala in the north similar to BH, it was Buhari as a general that drove them out, chasing as far as Chad capital to send a strong message.

to all those saying you need a young mind, show me one young mid that can run nigeria now. This isnt about wishes. Its about reality

acorntree:
I created this thread because of the deficiency in our educational system. Most Nigerian electronics engineering, physics students do not have access to good instructors and technologists who can put them through practical aspect of what they learn in class. So for your information I'm a electronics technologist in a polytechnic with over ten years of experience in electronics. So if the thread is not for you kindly leave.

nice one. i am curious, maybe i missed it somewhere on this thread, but where/how are you buying the electronic parts for your project. Online, surplus store or what?

A40:
The Warriors are making Mark Jackson look bad. Lol

Suprise team for me are the Hawks. Jeff Teague playing at a really high level

Jackson f'ed up. He was a good motivator, but didnt know x's and o's. Everybody knew that, and they tried to make him hire some technical talent as assistant coaches, to no avail. But the same big mouth that got him into the job got him out. i am happy for steve kerr...it would have sucked if the team collapsed

see as d bride take look am. eyah, sorry no going back on this trap

chineloSA:
Perhaps she wanted a legal sperm donor.

That's sometimes the case with older woman.

Seems to be happening a lot. As soon as the older woman gets that baby, its downhill from there

pDude:
Kindly show me one peaceful akata relationship. I AM NOT TALKING about marriage o. Akata nor dey marry. Just tell me an example of one normal akata relationship. I'm waiting.

Dem no dey marry abi?

How about Mr and Mrs Barack Obama. Or are they not AA? Or I should mention the dozen other AA couples that are pastors, polticians, in finance etc. If you tell me where you live, I can give you a couple. Even Alabama sef

As I said before, you just exposed yourself. My guy, there is a difference between existing abroad and actually living there. Your generalizations are just exposing your ignorance. Do yourself a favor and expand your horizon. Who knows, you might run into some responsible middle class black folk who can actually show you how to thrive. Hey what do I know, I'm an ignorant farmhand according to you...

pDude:
What has living in the hood somewhere got to do with my comment you ignorant farmhand?

if all the AAs you know are in crazy relationships, it tells me what kind of places you hangout, and where you live. Since birds of a feather flock together anyway, I can tell a lot about your relationships. While you were busy pointing fingers at other folk, you dont realize the other 4 are pointing back at you.

You sound like one of those loud mouth peeps that don't really know anything, but it never stops them from generalizing. Im curious sef, which city are you in. This farmhand wants to know.

pDude:
When you marry akata, prepare to either be dead in a few years or be in jail. I have never seen a peaceful akata relationship.

really? you live in the hood somewhere. not your fault

anonimi:
What does that say about us, Nigerians and BLACK AFRICANS ?

lmao. interesting that your tribalistic self looked the other way while your man was flouting all kinds of rules, doing as he pleased, refusing to give a damn. See crocodile tears...Your man is biting of more than he can chew, and the elders are letting him know that he is a small boy. They put him there, and will remove him as soon as his task is done. the legal system is not a weapon to be used by the president to harass his opponents. you have no moral ground to stand on. nigerians ko, black africans ni

gej is a learner. now the book will sell like akara done right

NaNaYaaah:
im soo hurt guys, honestly..what happened to unity? All i read here is ghana this; nigeria that and its so not cool.. have we forgotten that to God we are all the same and that race or nationality dont matter? Please stop hating and criticizing one another and instead empower each other
I mean if africans hate each other,how will the world see us?.. please love one other

you are using nairaland as your basis? you do realize that out of the several hundred thousand or so users there are only a handful of haters. Try counting the unique ghana haters, I will be surprised if you see more than 10 active at any time, definitely less than 100 in all of nairaland's history. thats like .01% of d population or something
