Kobojunkie:
It is one thing to say Mugabe is bad in one statement and in the next statement say the people's will do not need to be upheld. Do you see how those two statements somehow conflict?

Are the BBC and CNN now Governments? Do they speak for all people or governments now?? Is Al Jazeera in on it too??

Using that reasonining, I would also label America's interest in Darfur today as being hypocritical when I compare the flooding of american media with news from Darfur with what has been happening in Uganda for a long time. Does that help as well?? We have celebrities going over to Darfur and we do not have half enough of them going over to countries like Niger or Uganda. Does that then mean this is all hypocrisy?? Can we for once be objective??

Again, is CNN/BBC/Al Jazeer/NBC and the rest now Government?? Does their covering or not covering issues mean that they speak for all of the west now?? You do know that the Iraq and Afghanistan wars are still on but guess what?? They barely get coverage on those these days. Does that mean Government is still not in Iraq?? Does that mean people don't want to know what is going on down there?? Can we please be objective here in our dealings??

o don't see anything wrong with that,im sure you have heard of the saying"responsibility builds character" parents do it not just because they can't take care of the rest of the kids or the younger ones but so that the first son will be responsible and it also fosters love in the family,u can see the contrast between the family network in the west and africa,it s extended to the children taking care of the parents rather than putting them in a home like they do here, no matter the economic situation of a nigerian their children will always stay with them till he/she is ready to support him/her self that is not to say there are no bad parents

How come no one is asking OBJ to go talk to his buddy?
I'm sure, he can relate directly to Mugabe's current state of mind.

OBJ's third term idea is not that far from what is taking place today in Zimbabwe.

Big B1:
This statement was made today by Joe Biden, (the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee):
This is bulls**t. This is malarkey. This is outrageous. Outrageous for the president of the United States to go to a foreign country, sit in the Knesset , and make this kind of ridiculous statement," he said.
"He's the guy who's weakened us. He's the guy that's increased the number of terrorists in the world. His policies have produced this vulnerability the United States has."

That Simon Mann should be castrated and amputated as an example to others like him who destabilise Africa for their pockets' sake

SeanT21:
Zimbabwe is mainly taken over by british.

So why should US be concern?

we need a revolutionarily driven followership that will stand up to propagate what they believe in. but who is ready? and who will lead?

I refuse to think like a whiteman, I choose to think as an intellectual.

back when i was in school , people were intrested in the army because it meant they might one day be governor, minister, etc. have you forgotten that we had a stark raving illiterarte as minister of works and housing. that was all the motivtion for people to be in the army back then. i actually agree in some part with the poster - your typical nigerian soldier is a law unto himself, a thug with agun at his most menacing when facing down bloody civilains. even if you could take on one in a fight , his brothers would materilaize to uneven the odd and beat the crap out of you.

that said, the success of mend has little to do with their military skills. they too are just thugs with guns. the government needs to work on true soldiering - intelligence gathering and premption, not all this reactive behavior.

LAKANYE~:
This is one of the reasons why a US millitary barracks should be planted in Nigeria. The Nigerian Men think they are gods over their women, and extend the same inhuman treatments upon their own child.
That father should be flogged 24 time every day for two years, because the abused child is two years old. If she is 5 years old, I would have recommend 60 lashes per day for six years as punishments for him against abuse on his daughter.
This is horrible, and the father should be taking to court and punished for his acts. What in the hell is wrong with Nigerian fathers?? If they are not impregnating their daughters, they are flogging them to death??

landis or what do you call yourself, with the way you reason, it must be a monkey that impregnant whoever born you. Did this sanction against Mugabe affected the fertile land of Zimbabwe from producing food? Answer me, you son of a goat!!!!!!!!!!!!!
