hajifaty:Your comments always make me laugh for some weird reason. You're a legend n the making. |

Mai Suya:The simple answer is, YES |

He's probably comfortabvle somewhere in a pub in London and yet he expects some people to go and die just for believing in a just cause. |

vicade:So what's your point? Because people are not ready to die, they can not enforce or initiate what could make the government change their ways? We don't need fresh matyrs my friend as you've just scored yourself an own goal there because you said What Ken saro wiwa died for is still happening.So why die when u can Kidnap my naija delta friends ask me. To change Nigeria, we need a fresh batch of matyrs to take the lead, and by the way, you are not ready to be a matyr anyway so what's your point there? You don't want to die but you think what we need are matrys? Better sit down in London and don't say that to the peeps struggling in Nigeria. |
vicade:Fela voiced his opinions at the ills of the government, likewise Tai Solarin and now these modern day guys are doing the same things without resorting to violence and all you could do is sit on your comfortable chair and criticise? Did you just call them useless? This gus is only prompting us to act and not just to literally take the message at face value. I hope you take a cue from the quote below even if you don't learn anything else at all today today from Nairaland. Attacking the messenger and ignoring the message is one of the reasons why Nigeria and Nigerians are on their knees today and that will likely remain so until we are able to separate the message from the messenger. |
@ my lovely Cre8tivity I've been here for 11years and I've not stepped my foot in Nigeria so sometimes my response might be a bit harsh but you know, I'm quite conversant with issues at home even more than a lot of people in Nigeria. I decided to go back home in 2004 but my parents were like finish your education and then I thought ok, I'll finish, I completed my masters as well last year and then I thought ok, time to go home, but when you read the news all the time and it's all negativity, I thought then maybe it's not yet time to take that step. Coupled with the fact that I have a very good job here and I feel recognised at work meanwhile, I'll need some desperate connections in Nigeria to get that kind of job because at home; things are based on whom you know and not really what you know. But I've spent almost half of my life here anyway, so it still feels like home, maybe if I have your status, we'll not be saying the same thing and I might just be educating the Nigerian public and gearing them all up for change. Back to your question I'll pack my things and return home the day you stop supporting Dapo Lam Adesina. ![]() |
Ifygurl:You definitely didn't read the article neither did you skim through (based on the highlighted above), Now open your internet browser and get on this link http://www.nigeriavillagesquare.com/index.php/content/view/11171/55 and then come back and re-state your opinions. |
binkabir:My apologies for abusing you in the first place, I'm sorry. There were a lot of natural resources in Africa that Hitler wanted to exploit. There was also a plan made early in the Third Reich to remove all the Jews from Europe and move them to Africa. Mussolini had a lot of troubles after conquering Ethiopia and consolidating power in Libya and he declared war on Britain in 1940. Hitler had finished Belgium and Poland and was near to the end of the war in France when Mussolini joined the Axis. Mussolini decided to attack the British in East Africa (The East African Campaign). When the battle turned against Mussolini Hitler sent in troops to Africa and the rest is history. Hitler felt like he could do with Africa once he subdues the powers of Europe, Asia and South America. He was willing to depopulate Africa and hunt down the last Jews therein. Hitler did want world domination but Africa was last on his list because it would be very simple for him to conquer. Bush at least never wanted world domination. Though he caused an unjust war in Iraq but he still gave a lot to Africa in terms of aids and if you research very well, no American president has ever given to Africa as compared to George Bush (and that’s not to say I’m a fan of George Bush). At least some people would miss George Bush (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/7821449.stm) , while I doubt any country misses Hitler, in fact Germany is still struggling with the tarnished image of the past. Not to mention the hundreds of thousands of black soldiers that fought in the French army and Hitler had no trouble in wasting them all. |
Kobojunkie:You've just made my day. This is typical Nigeria politics. If 13years could be referred to as recent in what affects people's means of daily livelihood (trains), I can't even laugh nor cry for my country, in fact I'm barking at my computer instead. |
hmmm, @ one and only Cre8tivity Maybe I should become gullible for once and start building connections for my personal greed in order to initiate a career for myself so I can dine with the immortals sitting on the unassailable thrones that belong to the high and mighty of the Nigerian splendour of sophistication. Maybe I should put myself first and initiate a contact so I can become a world champion in kleptocracy; with the sole aim of milking Nigeria and her posterity into the state of coma. Maybe you could use your connections to implore these spoilt brats to build what their parents have destroyed rather than thinking of regurgitating the same old mantra of change in other to make their selfish history. (Oya kiakia, introduce me to your high profile friends )Of course you’re right about people like us in diaspora going back home to make the change that’s needed, however, our population (diasporans) is probably less than 1% and all we could do is voice out our opinions and I guess the 99% or more at home could effect the much needed change. How about this starting from yourself and maybe you should start preaching the truth to these people rather than just dining with them and living on hope? The question Nigeria would one day answer as I read from someone is, would we realign ourselves through a silent democratic revolution as was the American Obama case or will it be another bloody revolution as we have seen in history usually attendant to groups that feel that they have lost their voice. I know the bride is not looking beautiful right now, just applying make up would not make her any more attractive but we just have to find a way to love her. |
cre8tivity:My dear Cre8tivity, how about supporting Ibrahim Abacha? You sure know that you cannot compare Jesse Jackson's son with his dad as he was not involved in the embarrassing public criticism of the whites was he while in contrast Dapo_Lam was a couch potato while his dad was reighning? Do you understand that comparism? I think in that case we cam compare Dapo_Lam with Ibrahim Abacha as they both exercised similar characteristics while their old men were in positions of authority. He can never be sincere (not that I can see the future) because he was one of the perpetrators of evil-spending of what belongs to you and I when his father was in power, is that simple enough? I doubt Nigerians are ready to support someone like him, and he's not the person we need and I guess if Nigeria can pledge their support to someone like Dapo Lam, then I guess we've not learnt from the past and in that case, Ibrahim Abacha would easily win an election without rigging. |
cre8tivity:Coming from a closet supporter of Lam Adesina? ![]() |
Epiphany:For your info, Virgin Nigeria have suspended the flight route of London-Lagos indefinitely. This I found out when my brother tried to get a ticket and they told him to get his ticket fast else he might miss out. This article explains why: http://www.chicagoinquirer.com/ci_trav/article01 |
@ Bindex, I guess we read from the same page. That writer really murdered Nigeria and in fact the commenters couldn't disagree more. |
chidichris:If you check his previous posts on other threads, he once asked a question on how to become a professional footballer and now he wants to know what to do with his Politics degree (assuming he finishes and I hope he does). All in all, I think the poster is confused and just needs a direction from someone. @ poster, if you are reading this, please go and seek proper counselling from at least 3 different people and then make a choice that you think is good for you. Better still, you might even have to quit that university you are attending and answer your destined call (which only you know). Don't waste your talent in the name of getting a degree as it's not meant for all and you could still succeed without one. Best of luck. |
binkabir:What an absolutely meaningless,stupid and dumb rant with the main question unanswered? Ranting over bullshit. Are you really a conspiracy theorist? So you believe George Bush is worse than Hitler? Thank your stars that Hitler was defeated as you probably won't be here today. go and read your history books and check out his (Hitler's) plans for Africa and then you'll thank your stars for being alive today. |
Good luck RichyBlack, this, definitely would test your character and hopefully you could analyse yourself while doing this because this section gets very very hottttt most times. |

Hahaha, Capital of Hell ke, but boy, that dude murdered Nigeria line for line word for word, just check out some of the lines below: It is the residence of eternal hopelessness. In its core reigns a culture of absolute negativity, which mangles every aspiration to decency. Hell smothers every light of positivity. It is the black-hole of supreme regress, out of which no light of redemption ever escapes. Admittance into its rotten bowels introduces one into a culture of solipsistic self-digestion, where every inmate worships his ego. In its halls, avarice is king. And in its hallowed chambers, everyone is on a journey of eternal self-digestion, where his hatreds resurrect to consume his experiences. |
Tyler Ayodeji Continental Airline has finally abandoned its proposed direct flight to Lagos, Nigeria and is planning to fly to Beijing, China and Delhi, India, according to airline officials. "We have not pursued this (Nigeria plan) further since the indefinite suspension early in the year. We have been working on other new routes like our new flights from Newark to Beijing and Delhi," said Martin DeLeon, Continenal Airline spokesperson. A special assistant to Nigeria's aviation minister, Sam Adurogboye, blamed the airline and the US government for the suspension by deliberately ignoring a letter of inspection and auditing sent to FAA and Continental Airline, a pre-requisite for issuing the required license to operate in Nigeria. Adurogboye wondered why Virgin Nigeria with 49 percent British ownership and 51 percent Nigerian interest would be turned down by America to operate in the country. Without elaborating, Julie King, another spokesperson for the Houston based Continental Airline said the service between Newark and Lagos has been suspended indefinitely due to circumstances beyond the airline's control. Continental Airline was scheduled to begin a daily flight from July between Lagos and Newark Liberty International Airport outside New York before it was suspended in April because of the 49 percent interest of England based Virgin North Atlantic. Britain and US have bilateral agreement on the number of airlines from both countries that could land yearly, and the 49 percent interest of Virgin Atlantic would alter the number in favor of England which allegedly forced US to refuse landing rights to Virgin Nigeria. But Adurogboye explained that the imbroglio has nothing to do with Virgin Atlantic. "It is none of American business to tell us the kind of business we do or who we do business with. If they have problem with Britain, that is their problem. They cannot dictate to us whom we want to have partnership with," he said angrily. The Nigerian special assistant said plans for Virgin Nigeria to ply the US routes is not on the table but stated that plans are underway to explore the possibilities. The Continental spokesperson hinted that the sixth US airlines may have eventually abandoned a flight to Nigeria in preference to China and India."We have not pursued this further since April," Julie King said. It will be recalled that American Trans Air (ATA) is yet to return to the Nigeria route since 1994 after US severed flight relations with Nigeria following the annulment of Nigeria's presidential election won by late Bashorun M.K.O. Abiola in 1993. In 2002, the now defunct Nigeria Airways resumed direct commercial flight between Lagos and New York on a leased aircraft from South African Airways only to stop operations after a short while. Ritetime /World Airways again operated direct flight from New York, Houston and Dallas for a while before again stopping the operation in December 2003 after abandoning thousands of Nigerians visiting home for the new year festivities.

@ Tpia I think you're being too harsh on this guy and at the same time taking his point out of context. He has even done poured out his sweat in forms of charities (see my second post on this thread) and he said he does not expect any reward nor did he even make what he did public. He said, I have a whole communith in Agege who daily draws free water from a borehole (not kongá) I sank in 1999. When I went home to observe the (s)elections in 2007, not a single one of the beneficiaries had any idea whom I was. I also have 3 tenants also living rent free in the property. They have been there since 1989 and their teenage children have no clue who I am. I rarely speak to them even on phone as I do not wish to interfere with their lives nor make them feel that they owe me anything. It is for the glory of mankind. I'll give you a case-point, my flat mate while I was in the university works as a night security guard though he holds a degree from a polytechnic in Nigeria. We normally discuss politics and times wthout number, he's been very frustrated that he mentioned joining the British armed force if they were meant to fight Nigeria and even kill his fellow Nigerians because he feels that country has sold out and he feels like someone in the UK (even though he's an illegal immigrant). I don't think it's fair if what you could point out is the line where he poked fun at his own accent beause my guess is probably as good as yours - and that is, the article is probably written out of frustration and annoyance. It takes more than balls for any sane person to just wake up one day and say it's over for the country I so much cherish (though I don't know if he ever cherished the Nigeria as a nation) but I could tell this guy loves Nigeria but he's human and feels he cannot keep talking to stones in the bid to make a change (as in the case of the failed rally he organised), even he says my musings are tinged with a deep regret. |
It's not just a dangerous and stupid comparison, it's also very foolish and irresponsible. How dare someone make this kind of comparison in this day and age? |
Ilelobola:No disrespect to you at all by any means whatsoever but THE VIP AREA in the Church ? This is the commercialism of Christianity at it's best. Thank you Nigeria for making this possible. God must be turning in his seat right now. Hmmmn, ![]() |
Before anyone bashes this guy who wrote the article, I researched the source of the article further and found it was originally posted at the Nigerian Village Square website (www.nigeriavillagesquare.com) and one of the comments made after the article was, as below: "Pray and work. Work and pray. Pray that our 'dealers' mind may soften just a little, work for their fall from grace. Pray for good leaders and every other things shall be added unto you. And just some few questions for you: did you vote in the last (s)election? Or contested even if you did not win? What did you do to assist A-list candidates like Utomi, Adams? At times one may feel discouraged but then we need to trudge on, You can only be a 2nd class citizen wherever you find yourself now. Pity. Your article is well garnished, sweet and tasty. More ink to your pen." and the response (also by the original writer of the article) is also as below: [b]"Sir, I have sojourned outside of Nigeria (against my will) for the last 18 years, but can galantly say I have given back to your country far more than I ever received from it since my parents paid for all aspects of my education until I had to pick the gauntlet myself. I have a whole communith in Agege who daily draws free water from a borehole (not kongá) I sank in 1999. When I went home to observe the (s)elections in 2007, not a single one of the beneficiaries had any idea whom I was. I also have 3 tenants also living rent free in the property. They have been there since 1989 and their teenage children have no clue who I am. I rarely speak to them even on phone as I do not wish to interfere with their lives nor make them feel that they owe me anything. It is for the glory of mankind. I am not registered to vote in Nigeria and never sought to influence the opinions of those people whom I know would gladly take such 'advice'. When I was approached to pledge my support for Pat Utomi (not by the man), I had only one question for the contact, "please tell me what the man had done as an individual to the commoners in Nigeria without the expectation of a payback?" Since there was no response from the contact one way or the other and I knew very little of him apart from his business credentials, I did not feel obliged to follow blindly. Dear Sir, I hope that answers your question. As to the other part of your question, what does it matter if I am a second-class citizen in the country of my birth and I employ 34 people whereas I remain a second-class citizen in the country of my parents and still have to stare abject poverty in the face daily?"[/b] |
Wow, this is very very real. This guy is definitely bitter and of course he's justified with his powerful arguments as to why he feels that way. Though I feel his pain as this piece represents the feeling of "most Nigerians". I'm not even sure which way to sway. Support the country, the people (including me) or just sit on the fence. This is very hard hitting and from the comfort of my seat, I feel very powerless as a Nigerian. This is just too real to accept that a fellow citizen could feel this way. Oh God, I'm short of words, I've never been touched by a piece this powerful. [center]Also, this is journalism at its best.[/center] |
