All Ipob members should be compelled to donate to pay this money.

Let Buratai's boys mount road blocks in the SE and collect 20M from each of the 5 states in the SE. The road blocks would be there till the money is complete.

You would never hear Kanu in Igboland again.

As policy this would be gold! Lol!

Appleyard:
Fighting for American independence? Common man, the independence of a nation or person is not only to be freed from the rule of another nation or person overseeing you. You can be dependent in many ways and also strive to become independent on many ways, depending on the circumstances you find yourself.

True.

What would you say the American needs to free themselves from?

RTSC:
But only a fool supports a president that endorse obviously corrupt people and tout him as a Messiah.

I am sure you are going to vote for buhari because he is Mr integrity.

clown.

"Endorse" is too strong a word. I wouldn't use it in this case.

I would vote for Buhari because he is "Mr Much More Integrity Than The Other Guy".

gurunlocker:
I have always said "TraderMoni" is election money. It's just a scheme created for election purpose which is an indirect way of buying votes.


APC keep innovating new techniques everyday.

It also sounds like "800% profit money", so sai bubu.

If people were making that kind profit these last few years we'd even be yelling "Sai Allah Yahweh ina Bubu" sef!

This innovation beats a loaf of bread! Nigeria is evolving!

comos:
what type of micro business will give you 800% returns in less than a month

Did she not say so herself?
If she is lying then maybe the entire report is a lie, no?

markidoo:
I was at the plenary today , he cannot be sacked cos of defecting to the opposition party. He can only be recall and we his constituents are solidly behind him. Bleep dat Fkn Judge.

Thanks for this!

SouthEastFacts:
Good for democracy. Our constitution is very clear on defection. There is no faction in PDP, so he has to forfeit his seat.

Hmm, the "no faction" rule. That might be the reason, though, one would claim, defection itself is a creation of faction.

That rule is dodgy at best.

richidinho:
you think the judge is a father christmas that will declare saraki seat vacant even when nobody approached it?

What's that supposed to mean? One law for Saraki, a different one in A'Ibom?

Pastorlarry:
Kangaroo court ,he will appeal it.you cannot sack anyone for defecting,why didn't court sack saraki,dino,etc

I was wondering o! Dem no get school for A'Ibom?

gotnel:
Anyone believing Kanu and his Jubril story need to examine his/her reasoning faculty.
Kanu is calling all of us fools, and the real fools among us are really behaving foolish.
When Kanu know all the nonsense he is talking about now since January 2017, why did he not raise alarm since that time?
Is he now telling all of us that the conspiracy theories he is broadcasting to the world now was sanctioned by the world powers.
Is he not too glaring to every reasonable fellow that this is politics taking too far.
Nigeria and Nigerians must watch out.

Poo brains, please read and get better non-stinky brains!

ibrahimsalam:
count me out ,some but not all.
Those defending buhari should focus on countering the serious allegations made by that Igbo guy and not this rubbish .the guy is on air all over the world making wild insinuations while the gullible are here taliking of atiku.

We should be countering Jubril is Buhari?

Anyone who bothers has a poo brain!

Olatunji1929:
Am not saying op is brainless but his brain is full of poo was saraki in off the day lai muhammed guys attacked and robbed offa dont you know that those guys came from lai town their evil was planned and executed in lai town no wonder you called your zombie bros to verify your senseless burukutu joint news

Oh, just say it!

Op, you got a poo brain!

joseph1013:
At least you agree that God is an inanimate object.

inanimate /ɪnˈanɪmət /adjective
not alive. showing no sign of life; lifeless.
"inanimate objects like stones"

Is God an "inanimate object", or non-existent and not an object at all?

Shelumiel:
Oga, do not be a fool. Ganduje stole money and the Buhari-led administration is trying to create a soft landing for him by bringing to remembrance his good deeds in front people who do even live in Nigeria . This is height of hypocrisy which is visible to everyone but you .

Rubbish! Whatever Buhari says, is Ganduje not a thief? What kind landing can anyone create to make you change your mind? Abi Buhari fit wash your brain?

You are not stupid so please! Buhari is talking in not exactly the place to be washing dirty clothes! And whatever he says on Ganduje is irrelevant! If Ganduje runs next election, I have complete faith you will campaign against him. And please call on me to assist you. I have faith that in you, Nigerian!

RTSC:
You will never see those Yoruba apc lunatics on this thread.

They select the threads they post on. Trying to sell a candidate nobody sane wants to buy.

Only fools jump into irrelevant threads. Sensible people know Buhari did not vote in the governor of Kano not is he a member of the state house who can remove him.

obixcel:
Lol get away with what? Penalty was on Jim(strictly for his bad behavior) not CNN as a whole hence no First Amendment right violated, they still have other dozens of Reporters reporting for them from the White House. Expect the Law suit to thrown to the trash can't wait for that

I don't mind waiting to see the outcome. Win or lose, the WH's decision still needs to be challenged. We don't have Emperor Trump, yet!

I agree Itchie's post was resounding. Like mine, a subjective view, and informative. And yes, a nation can be nationalistic without it being a bad thing. For that though, it must include every type of person in that nation. All races, religions, colour, creeds etc, and not the divisive type of nationalism some would claim they see (perhaps in error), in America.

Do I need to tell you to "Just accept the fact that the term is subjective", and that when Trump says "nationalism", not many people think Ghandhi, Washington, Nkrumah? What they hear is Hitler, Duke and crosses burning on lawns, albeit, perhaps, through their subjective lenses. The support he gets from white supremacists is certainly not for Ghandhi and Nkrumah type nationalism.

I mentioned "context", which denotes subjectivity. And if you understood Europe, where Macron made his statement, which is the current discussion - and during WW1 Centenary Celebrations at that - you would realise nationalism to him is fascism and Hitler. Incidentally too, it, Hitler type nationalism, is a current problem in Macron land at the moment, and all over Europe too, and nationalism in Europe is exclusively evil.

Appleyard:
Itchie just gave you a resounding answer, so I won't waste precious time writing long epistle. Like Itchie said, Gandhi was a nationalists, Earnest Shonekan, Herbert Macaulay and the likes of George Washington were nationalists, how come they didn't look like Hitler? Today, these people are celebrated all over the world for their strong and unwavering nationalistic ideas. You guys always paint a picture of Hitler when looking at nationalism. Isn't that bias and stereotypical? If Macron had referred to "extreme nationalism" and stuck with it, rather than trying to make the term "nationalism" exclusively evil, that would have been a different topic all together. But he did not. What he was actually saying is that the term nationalis is exclusively evil, and that is where I call his assertion wrong and unintelligent. If we are to go by his summation, then George Washington is evil, Herbert Macaulay is evil, Azikiwe is evil, Nkruma, Gandhi, and more, are evil, right?

Just accept the fact that the term is subjective and shouldn't be used exclusively. You must also accept the fact that all nations are driven by nationalistic ideas. Anyone who tells you otherwise is deceiving you. No nation on this planet will want to serve your interest first before his, and you know that. Everyone is fighting for its own interest, and that includes France as well. So let's stop painting another picture.

ivysunday:
The only way is to unify all doctrines into one and unify all religions into one. Everyone follows the path of the Greatest Creator.

The first paragraph states an impossibility. Religions, and doctrines, are the subjective expressions of individuals and a means to achieve their goals. All subjects cannot have the same goals nor can they adopt the same doctrines. And by doctrines, I am including scientific knowledge. You went on to say what could mean exactly that by the statement below.

ivysunday:
With the development of science and the continuous liberation of human spirit, the value view and the world view of people also change constantly.

Not only is there change over time, but also by location.

And then there is the fact that some humans will use knowledge to enslave others. This is clearly shown in Genesis where Yahweh is said to have enslaved Adam and Eve.

The rest of it is just one more religious ideology added to the pot of religions. And we atheists do not do "Creationism".

itchie:
All these long epistles you guys are dropping here is just a bunch of bullocks!!! Mahatma Ghandi, George Washington, James Madison, Kwame Nkrumah, Julius Nyerere, jomo Kenyatta, Nnamdi Azikiwe, Lee Kuan Yew all called themselves nationalists, why always naming only Hitler? If all those great men were evil and racists for calling themselves nationalist, then it is good to be evil and racist because those men were good and great men who changed the world for better, not these crazy liberals who think they can change the world by changing the meaning of words to suit whatever latest reason they have found to be angry about everything

Except, it's in the context. If Trump were fighting for American independence, his nationalism would be no different to those you mentioned, but since he ain't, well....

Tinnytony24:
Religion has been the major problem of this world of ours.....

I beg to differ. It's not religion that makes people lick shoes, it's ignorance.

Appleyard:
More babel. Anybody who claim to be a scholar can come forward to give his own thought on any word or phrase, but such independent definitions doesn't denigrate from the fact that the word or phrase concerned has its natural meaning to begin with.

There's one problem. It's that you can dress things up anyhow you like but you can't deny historical and shared meanings and context, especially when used or understood by some in that context!

Nationalism is further oriented towards developing and maintaining a single national identity based on shared, social characteristics, such as culture and language, religion and politics, and a belief in a shared and singular common ancestry (i.e., outdated concepts of race and nationality).

"A single national identity based on shared, social characteristics, such as culture and language, religion and politics, and a belief in a shared and singular common ancestry" means, not everyone. Unless he takes the time to include those who might feel they aren't included, which some claim he's done the exact opposite of.

Here's [url=https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Rally_%28France%29?wprov=sfla1]info[/url] about France's nationalist party. And you'd find here a list of active nationalist parties in Europe. Please click on the links in the links to educate yourself on what Nationalism implies. You might understand why some people worry when they hear the word. But if you knew this already, please state your race, for the record. I'd understand if you were part of Trumps in-group.

It should however be noted that Americans tend to have definition of words that vary to meanings in Europe, so Trump might not mean 'Nationalist' in the classical European sense where the word is synonymous with racism, Hitler and far rightism. I'm open to being educated on this.

CNN sues the White House



You don't mean it! Just send somebody else! Morons! Hahahaha

Send somebody else and let the White House get away with it?

You joking!

HappyPagan:
these lovers....

Never thought of it that way. Might explain his jealousy at choosing a Muslim over him. But by golly could I settle with one who reasons as he does. We'd be arguing about simple things like what time of the day it is!

vaxx:
could not get what you are even typing But in peace i come.

Mirror dude! Mirror! Lol!

vaxx:
i get you reason then, i assume that should be petty, maybe there is a motivating factor

Petty to you, but remember I'm marrying for me and your opinion counts for nothing unless you're deluded enough to assume I'd be planning to share with you.

LoJ:
Jung is a very good read. Kudos

Unfortunately, not on the mainstream reading list. Not even in degree courses on psychology which seems to have a preference for Freud over Jung. The fact Freud was justifying religion seems to go down better than Jung who analysed the effects of religion.

Many think he was creating a god, while he was stating how gods are actually created and the influences they have on people. The world does not like people who pull down veils, I guess. And they can't avoid seeing through their own blurred lenses, it seems.

vaxx:
A muslim . whaooo, what really motivate your interest, lets discuss....

I did state reasons. Go on, discuss.

hollamanng:
That is nigerians for you they are very easy to feed shit

I swear, if I wasn't Nigerian, I would call them Poogerians!

Nbote: Bring ur head make I check wetin dey inside... U go skool so? Or na downside up U read d document

I beg your pardon, but you checking if someone went to school is like an agbero setting exams for a surgeon.

You don't qualify!

I'm considering a Muslim myself. Less likely to give my money to the mosque and they tend to go easy on converting, but most especially, a 30 year age difference is less of an issue.

Appleyard:
So trying to prevent illegals from entry your country illegally is extreme patriotism? It is on this thread I also learnt that when a president shake the hands of another president, he is legitimizing the actions of that president. It is now I believe that TDS is REAL!

God have mercy, for they know not what they do or say.

Was my "can't see", and "despite" too tiny?

obixcel:
So ''Patriotism'' can be ''extreme''...That's like saying an extreme form of love for one's own family.

Yes, patriotism can be extreme. Read the history of Nazi Germany, please!
