Foreign AffairsRe: Is Mali Heading For A Split? Video!! by BlackBaron: 9:41pm On Apr 06, 2012
Guess the state of Azawad is now born.

I understand there is a sizable(60,000?) tuareg population in Nigeria called the Iwellemmedan who migrated to Nigeria between 1972 and 1982 . . . primarily residing around Kano and Sokoto

PoliticsRe: Do You Think Nigeria Can Actually Get Better? by BlackBaron: 6:24pm On Apr 05, 2012
To say Nigeria is in a ridiculously bad state is an understatement.

Miscreants and illiterates in power committing with wanton impunity, grand scales of fraud, embezzlement and larceny.

Sadly, the game changers are emigrating enmasse to greener pastures possibly never to come back.

Truth is Nigerians don't know their rights, even more most can look beyond the bridge of their noses when electing competent leaders.

Foreign AffairsRe: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by BlackBaron: 7:46am On Apr 03, 2012
For all I care, Nigeria's army is a grossly indisciplined military outfit who bully and harass their citizen.

The only glimmer of light might be her large force, after that nothing else. The military government over the decades neglected the army leaving it grossly underfunded and undertrained. Only now has there being a clandestine approach by the civilian regime to fund, re-arm and oil the machinery of the army. Even then, BH managing to run rings round them shows the gap in their professionalism.

Nigerian army apart from maybe the west African sub-region where it might be the strongest is a pseudo-entity on a larger scale.
PoliticsRe: What If The North Wins The 2015 Election? What Will Happen? by BlackBaron: 9:46am On Apr 02, 2012
Nigerians don't know what they want

Vote for a leader based on good leadership qualities or one with just tribal affiliation.

The latter is often the case and just elongates our time running forward on an inclined treadmill with no end in sight.
Since the end of military rule, the baton of leadership has been from one corridor of the elite to another.

Until, we get a new clique of leaders, I'm afraid our country will continue to be a farce where important positions are catapulted from one sub region to another and only in the hands of elites.

BusinessRe: Soldiers Destroy Two Illegal Refineries In Edo by BlackBaron: 10:39am On Mar 27, 2012
texazzpete: Isn't it amusing how Nigerians think?

The same people that will be abusing the Oil Companies for pollution and environmental degradation are now the ones demanding for licenses for these illegal refineries operated by people with ZERO regard for the environment.

Have you m0r0ns checked to see the quality of the refined crude? No!
Have you m0r0ns checked to see how the gas from the crude oil is being treated? No!
Have you m0r0ns checked to see how the water accompanying the crude oil is disposed of? No!

These folks puncture high pressure crude oil lines and oil leaks out into the environment. The gas in the pipelines and the one dissolved in the oil escape to the atmosphere (since they are not flared). The water is decanted off and left to leach into the soil or any surrounding water body. The 'refined' crude contains much more impurities than the real deal.

Yes, we all agree that the FG is full of muppets who have failed woefully in running our refineries...but anyone speaking up for this criminal enterprise needs to have his brains checked.
Quite a pity, I always assume only 20% of Nigerians are actually sane. The others. . .?

BusinessRe: Soldiers Destroy Two Illegal Refineries In Edo by BlackBaron: 8:51pm On Mar 26, 2012
Like how Nigerians like to look away from the environmental degradation that follows pipeline sabotage

It's not just a case of fractional distillation alone nor is crude oil a dual composition of just petrol and kerosene.
