The problem is that we celebrate criminals. Why is it that we cant ALL, as a society, frown upon these acts and start making perpetrators feel leprous within the society? Because too many of us are actually in support of crime as long as it provides us with pecuniary benefits.

Nigerians are not alone in this. It's human nature more often than not but our economy makes ours more pronounced because we have more desperate people.

landis:
This is very simple. Forget about Mugabe for a moment and answer this question:

let US/UK lift the sanctions and see if Zimbabwe would turn around within 6months.

I work in place where we are not allowed to do business with Zim. It is in our list. So get your fact write.

Note this down:
Once MDC is elected:

1. sanction would be lifted
2. white farmers would be given back lands
3. aid + machines will pour-in

The west we say MDC is 'good guy' till 20yrs down the road when there is problem between them and we start all over again.

I really wonder why people cannot see whole picture:

To kill/finish a dog; YOU SIMPLY GIVE IT A BAD NAME.


MDC/UK/US used the 'aid agencies' to distribute food which is why MDC won. Go get your facts.
Sadly both Mugabe + WEST have turned Zim people to pawn in the chess game.

I also heard this from a Zimbabwean I met recently but I dont know how true it is

Of course this could have happened in Nigeria at some point in the past and the unknowing public would not know what was going on in the background

Kobojunkie:
But ,  here is the problem. The Average american can not accurately point out Zimbabwe on a map. Thousands of Zimbabwean lives have been lost as a result of this conflict, not a single Western man/woman has died so far. Most all the so called white farmers that are being blamed for this have been successfully relocated to other countries including Nigeria where they now enjoy good treatment from the government.

The West, like the rest of the developed and developing world( including asia) know to hunt for resources to take care of their own first and others second. What makes you think they are wrong in trying to fend for their own while we continue to expect them to babysit us and not try to take what we have when we continue to sit with arms folded not realizing that it is in our best interest to join in and play the game with the rest of the world? What are they that is so new and evil to you??

Show me an example of ONE FRELLING NATION ON THIS PLANET that is Developed/Developing past where any state in Africa is right now that can not be classified as Hunters and Ravagers?? Look at Ghana, a clear example of a country learning that the best way is to adopt the Hunter/ravager strategy and is really benefitting a great deal from it too. Take a look at dubai, a nation that is becoming the ultimate example of how best to play the game and you think they are all evil for wanting to develop and fend for their own people?? ARE we out of our minds here

Are you just unable to grasp what I'm writing or simply being mischieveous?

Where did I say I have a problem with the west looking after their own interests?

I don't have a problem with them being ravagers. I have a problem with us not seeing them for what they are.

Iraq is definitely one of the several avenues for the US to keep it's economy invigorated. I dont mind that but I have issues with trying to pull the wool over our eyes about their reasons for attcking Iraq

Kobojunkie:
roflmao!!!


What stops us from being hunters and ravagers ourselves?? I prefer that to our continued existence as leeches. ROFLMAO!!!

I dont have a problem with them being ravagers. I have a problem with us not seeing them for what they are.

Uche2nna:
Both are out for their own selfish interest and whichever way the dice is tossed it is the people that suffer the consequences.

No. They are more like ravagers and hunters .

Thank you

Probelm here is with the Nigerian people and leaders. What exactly are these funds REALLY required for?

We are bad. We need to clean up our acts

what work exactly do the PHCN staff do?

Mugabe is evil, so is the west.
There's no escuse for Mugabe's evil except foolish pride.
BUT did the west not see Zimbabwe and Mugabe's tyranny before the white farmers were thrown out?

How exactly did they arrive at the decision that $5.2b dollars is what is required in the power sector? or was that just an arbitrary figure picked up from the air?

Barracks girls used to be known to be good for 'fun' in those days

they are both irresponsible dogs.
BTW you are a pretty girl, if that's really ur pic

Because they are fools

It's a ridiculous thought and I could never get involved in such

fresheva:
its not good my best friend ex actually proposed marriage to me but i refused on the grounds that he is my best friends ex and then it is just a betrayal of friendship.
i wouldnt advise anyone to anyway.

so were you dating your friend's ex? or did he just propose marriage without some dating?

"Bobo nice" has always been a loser kind of guy

This has nothing to do with cheatring. It's a thing of the mind and not of experience.
Most guys I know who were players as youngsters are still playing around, including a few girls I know around here who had been into things in the past

I think more guys than not would rather have a virgin. It's a no brainer

You should be with a man and family where you are wanted for you and in spite of you

Each to his/her own.

No one has all knowledge except God. There are no absolutes in terms of what is right or wrong

I could NEVER marry a prostitute. I'll never feel comfortable in the knowledge that she used to sell her body. Some people might feel comfortable marrying one but then, 'different strokes for different folks'.

Amber ella, good luck

Pastor, the money is all in the pocket of Americans. It's not wasted. Money/resources can be said to be completely wasted when it has taken leave from your economy and has no way of multiplying to good effect. If it is still within the economy, it can only generate further wealth.

Comparing to Nigeria, the reason Nigeria has so much problems is because we steal money and send the money abroad to multiply within foreign economies and help them to develop

HolyMic, what did Kevin do to you?

Pastor PLC:
Iraq war is for oil? What a shallow way of reasoning! Has US not sacrificed a lot for Iraqis? Saddam's threat was enough reason for US to act. The cause of that war dates back to September, 2001 attack against US. The Great Ones in the world and the evil Saddam were all happy that thousands of people died in 11th September, 2001 attack. What else are you talking?

You obviously see only one side of the divide and your argument is not even deep enough anyway

Great Akokites, Great Akokites, Great Akokites

Greatttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

Great Balubites, una still dey throw bottles?

It could be that the oga patapatas in Abuja feel left out of all the egunje so they want everything to go through them

viperman:
Some good lawas , and some bad ones.
So what if my car engine knocks on the road or something breaks down the car on the road at night, will i be paying that 50k fine the following morning?
Not s sensible i tell ya

If your car breaks down on the motorway in the UK, you will pay a fine. The UK people are also not sensible

If Gambia makes a law that it doesn't want gay people. gay people should stay away. No one has a right to tell Gambia what law to make and what punishment to impose for breaking laws.

I also have a couple of gay friends but I dont condone homosexuality and they know that I would rather have them stay in the west and not take their abnormal acts to 'my country'

Kobojunkie:
I am quite sure the law of the land is not about what you think or do not think, neither is it about what you believe or accept or do not accept. It is the layed down law of the land that no Gays need apply/enter. The law is made clear and so people should learn to respect laws not go around trying to make it about their personal feelings and emotions. It is harsh but it is the law there and unless the people are complaining, I would that foreigners learn to respect the laws in foreign lands they choose to visit.

kobojunkie, i'm beginning to like your opinions
