That was nothing but another redundant and meaningless campaign slogan, it's still the same stale characters, stench and odious air polluting every corner of Nigeria.

I ask again, who is better?

where is the fresh air ?

Must you comment?

im a christian!
yes i condemn the killing because it is a not GOOD!
and its justifiable because its their culture(which u have the right to condemn) whereas she is matured enuf to knw the implication and wouldnt have been justifiable if she had denounce the culture publicly

No!you are not a christian.Your thinking is blurred.

sharia may not precede the law of the  country but let me break down something a little bit here,see nigeria is a complex count both religious nd ethinicity also there is a recognition of the sharia law thas why nigeria has a sharia court so this  case will be under the sharia court.
2 it is the the police obligation to investigate about the crime then forward them to cult.
i want you to re-read my first post

So, you condemn the killing and still think it's justifiable eh?

You are truly a nihilist.

people like Toaskarity deserve to be stoned too because you are no better than the poor muslim girl.
Zap you and your Zap.i.n.g belif

Do you mind that goat?

it is justifiable because
1.it their culture(you have the right to condem it)but it is theirs!!
2.she is old enough to know the implication of what she has done!!
this is why i think its justifiable! you can call any name u like,bet me nothing will be done to the killers!

So, you mean the sharia law precedes the law of the country?If it was justifiable how come the security agents are after the killers?I wonder why people like you still exist on this planet earth.You deserve to be hanged.

why dnt you give me reason for these names then i will knw what exactly tto answer,for now you are pointless!

FOR NOW I THINK ITS JUSTIFIABLE

I still maintain, you are a FOOL

You remain the only SENSELESS Nigerian living in the US

So, you think the killing of this innocent girl is justifiable?God kill devil!

as well as condem the killing so do i have nothing against her stoning! the world is a free a place to do what u like as well practise what u like! my point is that its their culture so she suppose to be aware of the implication!!
19yrs is no more a kid so she suppose to know the rule and abide to it or denounce the culture! FOR NOW I THINK ITS JUSTIFIABLE

You are a very big I.D.I.O.T

You are SENSELESS

You deserve to be STONED TOO

I forgot to add this (sagamite pls permit me), you are a CRETIN

It means you have to make a photocopy of your credentials and then take them to your former school or law court for stamping.But you have to ask the school if they want it stamped by the issuing school or the law court.

University of Uyo is one of the higher institutions that produces the least of first class graduates every graduating year,and dis is a school dat houses the best brains, so I begin to wonder,wat are we not gettin right and how can we possibly correct it? This thread seeks to open us to ideas,ways and principles dat [/b]will [b]hepl any first class visioner archieve his goal.Plz your contribution will be highly appreciated.

If you worth a first class it will be awarded to you.I don't still believe that any university will deny its students first class if they merit it, unless the student is unable to defend it.Just look at the errors above, how can a university award this kind of student first class?Go and read what people like Jarus and sagamite of NL write and then judge if you worth a first class.

What then does the president do?Attending owambe parties abi?Nigeria with unnecessary duplication of duties and yet we complain of the high cost of running government.

I strongly believe the Igbo's ought to have presented a much stronger candidate for this position.And why must we recycle old politicians who have had their own fair share of the 'National cake'.The rich getting richer or a deal of the devil you know is better than the angel you don't know?.

And who can that be?Anyim is suitable for this position and i applaud his appointment.GEJ carry go!

This is just very sad.Why these killings?Islamic leaders should urgently reconsider and re-evaluate the teachings of Islam.Maybe they are having problems with the interpretation of the Quaran.So, the so called al majiri exist in all Islamic states?People taking laws into their own hands in the name of religion.

Let me say something
Should our Corrupt leaders (IBB,OBJ,bankole,Akala e.t.c) be sent to jail ? NO They Should NOT !! Never
Okay why would they be sent to jail ? Because they broke our constitutions and laws and stole Money, so they deserve to be punished
So here she broke a law, - sharia so she gets her punishment

True we saw a True muslim that saved some christians in bauchi
He said according to teachings of the prophet

Are you on this planet?

and the biblical jesus never threw stone, if only to show that he was sinless.

job touched his wife with a 100 blades of grass in a bunch because he promised to whip her 100 lashes if he gets better.

prophet always fulfill their promise.

i guess biblical jesus was not sinless after all, if we take into account of his killing the tree, or being quite and unable to respond to the devil who was saying he owns the world.


ans i did not even touch on the 'forsaken me' cry. only devils are forsaken. no prophet is forsaken.

maybe the bible writers were trying to write about the devil, instead.

All this bullshit make no meaning.The question remains, why the constant killings in the name of Islam?We are not here to argue the superiority of one religion over the other.A young lady was killed by a group of  miscreants in the name of ''Allah,'' and you are here preaching rubbish.When did the Sharia law precede the laws of Ukraine?If i were to the the president of any country or Nigeria, anyone who misbehaves in the name of religion will be imprisoned and forgotten.

if u are really brilliant, people will findout themselves and like u. The truth is u are not a brilliant guy to me. It showed in your post. Did u make your english in WAEC? Because if i were to give u a mark for the write up of your post, it certainly will be F9. I am sorry but d truth is u made too many mistakes in the above write up.

Stop this senseless statement.The guy needs your advise and encouragement, and not baseless criticisms.When are we going to change in this country?A young lad came here to seek advise on how to handle a difficult situation and all you can do was only to disprove his claim of being intelligent.Are you any better?If he knew it all he wouldn't have enrolled in a tutorial class or even sought for advise on NL.Does good knowledge of English language translate to being intelligent if i may ask?How many Chinese, Japanese etc inventors and Mathematicians can speak and write in English language? If you want to correct the guy and advise him to improve on his English language skills, I think you can still do that without the ''Pull him down'' mentality.

I thought you're smarter than this!

NL is gradually turning into a playground.

I SAID HE AINT AS INTELLIGENT AS HE THINKS HE IS!!
Get it!

How did you find out?Are you in the same class with him?

I think Soludo is seeking relevance again from the wilderness. I hope Sanusi would send out one of his scud missels sometime this week reminding Nigerians how bad Soludo was a CBN Governor.

And where exactly does that take us?

How come you spelt "mixed" as "missed"?

So, because he missed the spelling of that word means he is not intelligent?You must be one of those people he was referring to. This guy just finished secondary school, and writes even better English than most graduates students of our higher institutions.I had no difficulty understanding what he wrote above.

NL, This is critical FRONT PAGE matterial.

They will never, but if a woman snatches another woman's husband then it will definitely make the FRONT PAGE

Yes, Soludo remains one of the brightest minds in Nigeria.His proposals come like bomb.

I still maintain that no one hates Muslims as individuals, but when a few individuals use Islam as an instrument of destruction then people will be forced to have a self imposed fear/resentment for Islam and Muslims.

Well, I don't know how "Islamic community allows Islam to be used as a tool in the hands of a few untamed miscreants" in a country people described as secular. Explain this further, I don't understand.

Yes of course, they seem not to have taken any drastic step towards ensuring that people don't engage in violent acts in the name of Islam.Take the case of the al majiris for instance, this is a typical case of neglect and nonchalance by the Islamic religious leaders.Don't blame the society on this, most Islamic countries also have a system of religious education where the use of force is not encouraged.Who operates this al majiri style of education that have left the youths and young backward?Are the northern Islamic leaders not aware of the harm that is done on this young guys and the possible danger they impose on the society?I still consider religion as an opium of the people and religious leaders as guiders of the moral being.If they fail, the entire society have failed.In an overtly religious country like Nigeria, religious leaders have a great deal of role to play.

On a lighter mode, what Islam country is that?

Hmmm, you want to know? I mean, i have been in this country for a few years now and I am yet to hear even the sound of the gun which is typical of the Nigerian society.I am yet to hear that a Muslim killed or caused trouble somewhere.The Muslims here go about their daily activities so peacefully and orderly.That is why i think our Islamic leaders have not done much to install the principles and teachings of Islam in their followers

and what is it,that's being talked about.

Don't mind the senseless cretin

Former Central Bank of Nigeria Governor, Professor Charles Chukwuma Soludo, on Saturday, took a critical look at the social and economic growth of the country in the last 50 years and concluded that for the nation to achieve the desired economic and political transformation it must undergo total restructuring.

Soludo declared in a lecture titled, ‘Towards the Economic Transformation and Viability of Nigerian States, can we break the Oil Resource Curse?’

delivered as part of activities for the inauguration of Dr Muazu Babangida Aliyu of Niger State that ‘it is time to take tough decisions if Nigeria is to move forward’.

He said as part of the restructuring of the country, the nation should consider and implement the policy of having a single term of not less than 5 years and not more than 6 years for elected political office holders so that the struggle for power which had been accompanied by a lot of waste of resources and acrimonies would be removed.

Most executives, he said, are more audacious in their second term than in their first term.

Similarly, Soludo said he did not see what the country was doing with two chambers of the National Assembly, adding that only one arm with not more than 150 law makers would serve the needs of the country. He also said the country did not need more than 15 ministers at the federal level.

According to him, it costs more to maintain the National Assembly as presently composed than what half of the countries in Africa would need to carry out their day-to-day functions.

One can easily gauge the ever effervescent Hypocrisy of an average illiterate-media brain washed individual from the south whom managed to cheat his way through school and failed to get enlightenment, to them killing hausas in retaliation is right, the 'Kaje' dudes suddenly turn to david and other biblical heroes, yet when muslim re-enacts such blood scenes they shout murder. Yet the murder of Hausas in Southern KD particularly was played down by media houses especially in the south, where is their commitment to the truth? Well truth is their commitment is to the political.The funny thing is that this same kaje youth fail to see how his "allies" in the south sees him a step higher than a cannibal. people from the north especially the christians and other minorities typically fail to see how the Ibadan -Lagos press continually bombard their identity by calling them all sort of names including animal without even discriminating which "northerner" they are actually talking about, they are probably playing safe, but this simply cast them into the mold of unintelligent ethnic millitias whose trade mark is kindling an already blazing fire. in all the equation it is the southern citizens that falls victim, by deceiving them their problems lies far in the north, their leaders are living a more worthier life, reminds one of the empowerment fighters in the ND, who only succeeded in empowering themselves, or has the north's ever growing list of failure stopped the govts in the south from giving their own people good drinking water or even employment? Wonders they say never cease, but i believe closet stupidity must be put aside if people want to benefit from govt rather than ome here fighting how your greedy leaders intend to eat you pay, we need to build an alliance that focuses on ensuing good governance.

You seem to write with your a55.You keep justifying violence without making a single effort to tame those bloodsucking homo sapiens.If the southern press cannot say it right why don't you establish yours, or is your al majiri education not capable enough in equipping you with requisite knowledge?Who is to be blamed for the violence in the north?What effort has the northern leaders made towards calming the situation?Stop pointing accusing fingers, your people are violent and the entire world knows that.

The problem is the strong hatred and bitter venom against the Islam/Muslims. I don't know a perfect way to explain the reason why a man want to be knowledgeable than the mufti, when holding a view to wrongly islamise what is non-Islamic. More so, in the face of heavy proofs to the contrary, he is still proving pigheaded.

Wrong!No one hates Muslims.But the extent in which a few individuals are causing problems in the name of religion is not wholesome and should be rejected.The Islamic community allows Islam to be used as a tool in the hands of a few untamed miscreants, and that has affected the reputation of Islam as a religion.People are always quick to form stereotypes without even knowing the basis for such, agreed.I live in an Islamic country, but i must say, this place is one of the most peaceful and loving countries on earth.So, it's not Islam, it's a few  individuals in Islam and Islamic leaders will have to do a lot of work to flush these individuals out of the body of Islam. 

And since when did organising to defend your families and friends become so wrong? If that is what works for those southern KD guys, so be it

Subscribing,

Your were correct when you spoke about the depth of a SWOT, but let's forget about being very dogmatic . . . . a SWOT in a lay man terms is simply an appraisal system used in a decision making process to achieve certain objectives. IMO, what the man did was assess the peculiar situation he is in and has identified what needs to be done and strengthened . . . maybe the word evaluate would have been more appropriate . . . my bad . . .

But it baffles me when people keep talking about weakness being a huge factor . .they seem to forget the fact that this Nation is where it is today because the so called strong have been holding sway for a long time often been recycled . . . What we need are people who are capable and are willing to serve the nation get into political positions,then the law strengthened to acts as checks for defaulting individuals . . then every other things follows suit . .

Until we see his list, then it is very premature for people to start making assumptions based on their prejudiced mindset

BTW, the embolden part in your post reflects a good mindset irrespective of your stand pre- election period . .

you have been corrected already.This is not a classroom

to where ?

Libya, afghanistan, Iraq, Iran,Yemen

I still maintain, this GEJ remains the only sincere president Nigeria have had since 1999.It takes only a sincere leader to make such public statements about how his ministers are selected and the degree of lobbying involved.

I have confidence in you sir, ride on

On Reverting from Evan Enwerem University to Imo state University is not understandable.

On what basis was the university renamed Evan Enwerem University at the first instance?Was there public discussion and deliberation before such was done?were the stakeholders consulted?These and many more questions remain unanswered.Ohakim and his cohorts used the most draconian way to manipulate the house into renaming Imsu to Evan Enwerem university without having recourse to the feelings and opinion of the people.Now the chips are down and the wind had blown to review the underwear of the reverend father.

none

So what do you intend to achieve with this misguided crap?

My dear, you have done so well for yourself and your writing suggests you are truly intelligent.I will advise you put your mind off what people say, of course they must surely talk.Everywhere, intelligent people are seen by lesser intelligent ones with much disdain and often considered a threat.Just remain focused and concentrate on achieving your goals.

It's no sin being intelligent, people only see you as a threat.

You have a point. But I believe Charges would encourage and favor the policy more than incentives would.
This is the best time to introduce this policy, if we are waiting for other factors to fall in place before adopting this policy, then we would wait in vain.

You think so?I don't think that is true, and no country has taken that line either.Charges will rather scare people from using the system, but incentives will encourage them.
