the 2 words i have been looking for are: HOPELESS COWARDS.
so, the only way we can fight back in nigeria is to wait for the wives of our bad leaders to die?
it's completely absurd and a clear indication why this country remains on the floor. if this is our plans to fight bad or corrupt leaders in nigeria, i'm afraid and very sorry to let you people know that we have a very long way to go.
babangida's wife is dying, but sanni abacha's son is about to become the next governor of kano, another saraki is about to claim another top position in kwara, furthermore, one of babangida's children is also looking to claim another top position in abuja; so what difference does it make that maryam is dying? why are we here celebrating? and what exactly are we celebrating?
we need to stop thinking backwards, roll up our sleeves and find a better method to move forward. rejoicing that another human beings (good or bad) is fighting for her life is definitely not the way.
but one thing is certain: God is great, he knows today and tomorrow, and he isn't a nigerian. therefore, there is a light at the end of the tunnel for maryam babangida.
i pray for maryam's speedy recovery

I sooooo wanna give you an Hi-5 right now.
Spoken like an educated person . . . you just captured my points in a nut shell.

whoa. . . I sure know how to hit a nerve. 
You've done nothing but proven yourself to be a confirmed retard and an illiterate.
makes u feel any better dragging my folks into this? Very Immature!!

Besides . . I was right, ignorance and lack or proper education.
The nickname is B-U-S-T-A and not buster . . . gat it??

May her crazy soul rest in tatters!!!! those crazy people wreck this great nation. before i forget when is maradona going to die, i cant wait  , infact her death is making me Hot

and this person assumes he/she is a sane human being?

Really Baseless talking to a whole lot of people here.
Ignorance and lack of proper education!!
computers and internet is so cheap these days so any tom dicck and harry can easily log onto the next and rant rubbish!!

How is it the masses fault? some that live in Nigeria gladly pay their taxes, live within the law but 'em thieving politicians or ex-military rulers still proceeded to loot the treasury.
How can nigeria be improved when the thieving politicians don't set enablers in-place for well meaning nigerians?
They don't bloody empower us by the constant lootings that go on.

True no doubt about that some people live by the law and pay their taxes but not as compared to those that don’t. I am defending that Nigeria is corrupt. If that was the case, that would have been an entirely different topic.

jay bee:
What you are failing to realise is countries like UK/US have brilliant healthcare industry because the taxes being paid her channelled through the right avenue. Plus the bloody love their citizens.

My point exactly . . . why can’t we Nigerians do the same. All we is condemn, judge and criticize each other

jay bee:
You also mentioned in one of your earlier post that "If that was the case, or if that is what you are basing this on, then every Nigerian living abroad will be guilt of looting" i hope you know that not everyone living abroad is a product of treasury looters.

It's one thing to sympathise to a fellow human dying but you trying to justify what she represents makes me wonder

I am not the one doing the justification. HELLOOOO . . . If anything, I am doing the opposite. If you read all my post clearly rather than jumping the wagon, you would will that I was only replying to someone’s post by that comment. I was only countering saying what he already implied about IBB looting all Nigerian funds abroad.

nuzo:
By the way, whats it with all these fanatics here. Na by force to be religious?

Nothing about religion or fanatics going on here.
Just like you, everyone is voicing their opinions.
Read well but u type/reply.

bawomolo:
I guess Bernie madoff had no fault also, God created him that way right. I agree the dead shouldn't be disrespect but it's no surprise people have mixed feelings about this. She ended up dying at the mercy of an health care system her husband failed to provide during his tenure. Who knows if she could have had an earlier diagnosis if Nigeria had a solid heath care system?

Whose fault was or is that?
and I tell you this . . .no one on this forum is in any better position than she was. It is easy for everyone to cast the first stone but search yourself first pple. We are all guilty!!
How have u tried to improve the situation in nigeria? how many homesless people have you helped or donated money to? how many orphaned kids out there do you really pay attention to? Maryam died, so did 2000 more people in the world.

bawomolo:
poor analogy considering America has tried to fix his flaws (civil rights bill, affirmative action), Nigeria still feels the wounds of Babanginda regime till this day, Maryam Babangida was also alleged to have embezzled money through her charity program.

poor or not poor, they are still in a better place than Nigeria. . . we can still learn a thing or 2 from them.
That was ma point.

naijaking1:
Poor Busta, I should have warned you!
Old model honda car to dramatize attitudes towards the dead
You could have been better off arguing with a 5-year old in your own family.

lol . . .same reasons I ran off in the first place.
NL has changed oooo . . . big time!

lol . . . a car has nothing to do with this.
No need wasting the space to put up a picture.

"WORD"!!

Sagamite:
Please stop making these senseless analogy as I really don't debate at this level.

You are comparing what people did 200 years ago to others that lived 200 years ago to the near and present decay with people still insultingly looking for how to return to power? And you are asking for forgiveness?

arguing with you is pointless.
Whether it happened 200 or 1000 yrs ago, it happened in this lifetime.
U need to read thoroughly before typing in ur response. Remember u also mentioned that you used objective approach to analyze things . . .that is exactly what I am doing. U ought to be consitent guy.

Who said anything about asking for forgiveness . . .do not misquote or misinterprete me.

Sagamite:
Are you telling me that I need more evidence that her family is living beyond their means with public loot that has resulted in Nigeria's decay and suffering and death of the masses?

If that was the case, or if that is what you are basing this on, then every nigerian living abroad will be guilt of looting

Sagamite:
My point when I say "would" live refers to her husband and kids that are still living of the stolen wealth.

you are talking about using objective approach. . . where is your proof and evidence? your point is baseless . . . you gotta learn to be consitent

Sagamite:
Please use better judgement.

The primary driver of treating him is to punish him and get info of any other person that might be involved which would be hard to get if he was killed.

you don't even seem to understand your opinions anymore. If that is what you believe that why this arguement?

@ Depilot . . . leave him alone.
pple like them needs to be ignored.
He is only trynna flex behind his PC. . . talk about ignorance and childishness combined.

Imagine what America would like today is everyone was still holding on to what the white people did to the blacks in terms of segregation and racism.

The people that started all these are dead and gone, so are the first slaves in America. . .life goes on!!

Depilot:
@Sagamite:
May I ask you to let us know your objective in celebrating the death of another human being? What are you or your people will benefit from the death of Maryam Babangida?
And finally, please list 5 things this woman has done to you and your family to deserve this incredible treatment from you?

Much Respect.

MY POINT EXACTLY!!

Major Nidal Malik Hasan that the gunman who killed 13 at America's Fort Hood military base. He shoot and was near death. How come he was not left to die? how come he was preserved and treated? why not completely shoot and eradicate him? The is difference between america and africa. Do you know how many wars and hatred that would have been avoided due to unnecessary animosity and judgement?

Sagamite:
You are demonstrating more of what I would refer to as lack of objective approach here as I suspected would be the case. It seems you just follow a societal template on this issue.

Nothing can be done about the way they have lived their lives, but a lot of scorn can change the way they would live their lives in future.

Knowing Nigerians have a lot of hate for their wife/mother even in death might ensure they don't have optimal fun living with their loot.

you are the one that is demostrating lack of Objective approch here.
"Taking an objective approach to an issue means having due regard for the known valid evidence (relevant facts and viewpoints) pertaining to that issue. If relevant valid evidence is denied or falsified, an objective approach is impossible. An objective approach is particularly important in science, and in decision-making processes which affect large numbers of people (e.g. politics)."

as opposed to your point, my point is that these people already lived their lives and death has also proven that he is no respecter of persons . . . either a pope, the rich or the poor. Judging these people and raining curses on their dead souls does not change anything and the way they have lived their lives. What you and a whole lot of other people on this site are doing is nothing but creating more enemity and fuelling anger. Maryam Babangida died today or yesterday so did a whole lot of other people which were not known . . . does this change anything . . .NO.

No need to cast stones on her cos she was married to Ibrahim Babangida.

Sagamite:
No, I am not an atheist.

And I don't think the practice and enforcement of memes is objective or even intelligent.

I respect the dead based on an objective analysis of if they [b]deserve [/b]to be respected (with yes being default setting), not because it is the way it is done (unobjective).

I would respect NOT Saddam, Fritzl, Pol Pot, Pinoche, Idi Amin, Foday Sankoh etc in death. That to me is ridiculous.

no matter the grudge or your judgement on this people, they have lived their lives.
Nothing can be done about the way they live or have lived your lives. Somethings happen for a reason, some people just like you and I exist for a reason.


Like I said before, Life goes on!!

Cut all communications off with her and focus on your family.
Deed is done either ways.
U either choose her or choose your wife . . .if can't eat your cake and have it.

wow!!!

Sagamite:
Babes, you will have to give that line to those that practice religion and let it dictate everything in their lives. I don't.

I use intelligence and objectivity.

in other words, you are an atheist? if you read my previous posts, you would know that my point was just related to religion only but also with intelligence and objectivity like you put it and humanity.
even Atheism believes in death and respect for the dead.

Life changes, and it carries on, no matter who enters or exists.

milkan05:
Werin u wan use im age do? na wa o!!!

Its a Question . . .Dang, if you don't know . . move on quietly. No need for the side comments.
Thats the problem with all these Nigerian Communities . .

the queue to join the empty dumb barrels keeps getting longer and longer.

Sagamite:
Yep, I take pride in being heartless to those that are heartless.

I actually cherish to be seen as the leading figure in demonstrating this behaviour.

Tell that to those children that have lost parents to easily-treated diseases but died because they could not afford basic healthcare whilst this evil bitch was shopping for the most expensive shoes in Paris with their taxes and public loot. And she comes back to shine it in their face.

My point exactly. Some mentioned earlier on that:

We may have some reservation for Babangida because of his style of leadership or what he did and did not do when in political power. He however and his family remains human being created by the Almighty GOD to live and die at the appointed time. Everyone will DIE. So keep your grudges aside and pray for the soul of the departed one (that is, if it is true!!!). You people should use this opportunity to reflect on life and your activities. We are all in transition and everything in life is temporary. If you like do good or bad, you shall soon transit like those before you. Though how one live determine what people speak upon his or her death, Maryam has no fault except being the wife of a military ruler whom many see as as not doing things right when in power.

She had no fault. tell that to God cause he created her that way. Whether some people lost their parents due to lack of funds for the hospital bills . . .ask God about that cos he made things that way. I am not saying that she is any better than all the other dead people but pple don't need to disrespect the dead in that manner.

big rod:
[size=16pt]good men hard to find?any lady who believes or utters dis must be on cheap drugs.[/size]

WOW. . . . lots of empty barrels on this site.
