Muslims and hypocrisy sha. They criticise Pastors who perform miracles and yet visit Mallams and Marabouts who use methods similar to Witchdoctors like reciting the same thing 1000 times, reciting incantations on grains and distributing to people, burning incense to chase evil spirits, burning some herbs and using stuff like snail juice etc. I have no problem with doing something that works for you. However, i have a big problem with doing it secretly and coming to condemn people who perform miracles in the presence of everybody. Miracles are a part of Christianity, something every Christian should be able to perform if his faith is sufficient("...as small as a mustard seed...") and miracles were performed consistently by all the major Bible personalities. Eyesight restoration is rather a common miracle.

tintingz: but jehova gave hitler evil brain to fight crusade right? Let be realistic.


@bold are they not hebrew? Jewish names.

Hitler renounced Christianity.

[quote author=Area-Fada]The size of Namibia is only half of it.
It also has the massive Namib desert (one of the most arid and hottest places on earth) that stretches even to the coast, a very unusual geography. It is the dryness (not supporting enough vegetation/plants) that has reduced human settlement along the salty sea water without a delta region bringing fresh water from inland rivers.

After considering high fertility rate (simply used to describe how many kids people chose to have, not biological superiority) in the North, have you also compared infant/maternal mortality in both regions?

Birth is only one part of population growth, surviving childhood and childbearing is another part.[/quote]I strongly believe you've never stayed in the north for up to a week. If you have, you won't be making this argument. It's always good to see things for yourself.

Why is it that most of these stories are from state universities?

nagoma: Yes Bello is actually a Fulani name and it means "Helper" is modified from the actual word ballo and When Shehu Usman Danfodio named his eldest son Muhammadu Bello he probably meant that. Muhammadu Bello was the second Calipha ( Sultan) after Danfodio (1817- 1837) was highly educated and a prolific writer. Other Fulani names include Maccido , Sambo , Tukur, Gidado etc.

Thank you very much.

[quote author=Okija_juju]Nigga hush!!





You cant prove wat you are syaing.. We have no way of proving that a person is Boko or not. So we can only rely on intel. Some inte are faulty, some are spot on. If innocent peoples die, then we categorize them as collateral damage which is always expected in wars especially wars against Terrorists.[/quote]I hate to say this, not because i respect you but because i should not argue with someone with your level of stu.pidity. The truth is you are a foo.l.
If your brother was was tortured and killed in one of those camps not being a Boko Haram member, will you call it "collateral damage"?

T gold: Mine happened wen i was in 100level, OOU, I was scorting wid a friend in a 6 room hostel wen around 11pm.... Dey(thieve:cult) came in and started operatin, we were playin music @d peak of d volume, so we didnt notice till dey entered our room, then it dawned on my friend dat always make mouth to be a strong Man..... After taking phones 4rm oda students, dey nw bring all of them to our own room, meanwhile i was d only 1 they didnt got anytin 4rm....nt even ma phone *bt na unto say i be badoo(sharp guy)* then dey were lyk beatin me wen 1 of them stabbed me on d Lap,lyk seriously it didnt Enter (unto say i get ode eshi 4rm home sha).... So those guy cum vex say all of u dey do jazz abi??, and dey stabbed anoda person dat turn out to be my friend... Bt wen dey see blood, they Left, bt na after battering my life.......

Are you really an undergraduate?

No matter from which angle u look at it, the fact remains he was very unprofessional. He could have shut up and put mechanisms in place to conduct a credible 2016 census if he felt he was more competent than his predecessors.

[quote author=obo_man]so u saying Dan is to Hausa as Omo is to Yoruba?[/quote]Exactly.

PAPA AFRICA: So is Bello absolutely an indigenous Hausa name?

Isn't Bello a Fulani name rather? I'll find out.

Most people don't understand that majority of the people arrested are not Boko Haram members. They were just arrested "based on intelligence". A person can just go to report someone he has a quarrel with and he'll be arrested and tortured so that he'll "confess". It's just like a massive #ALUU4.

joker5180: or u dnt knw the meaning of most of those names. pls ask around for meaning of any hausa name nd u wil get it

I think what he meant was that u don't use most of the names in everyday speech the way you would use 'Oluwaseun' for example. It is not only Hausa, most languages in the world are like that. For instance Smith is an English which has a meaning, but u can't slot it into a sentence in speech without referring to a person the way you would say 'Oluwaseun' without calling anybody's name.

I stayed in Cité Albert Salon in 2006. It's very beautiful but small. I will never forget Village du Bénin(CIREL) in Lome. Memories etched in gold.

Link is not going. I even put a 'c' between the 's' & 'u' thinking that was the problem but still didn't go.

[quote author=tpia@]i think the link is supposed to show its not just an african thing but can also occur in other cultures.

unless you want a situation where everybody in the family remains unmarried in the name of waiting for each other, your stance is very self defeating.[/quote]And you're still evading my questions. Everybody can see that.

So for your mind you don call yoruba names finish abi? Na wa o.

sage007: Prof femi, ur write up reeks of bias & I make bold to say that the so called academics/ lecturers are liars and so corrupt! Here is are some examples:
1. At University of Ibadan,while this current strike is still on and ASUU members are refusing to attend to students, the Dean of Faculty of Law in connivance with the VC organised clandestine examination for the final year Law students so that they can have their children leave for Law school! SO WHY SET DOUBLE STANDARDS

2.What do we say about universities giving honourary degrees to money bags of questionable characters while turning blind eyes to real deserving individuals. I KNOW UNIVERSITY DONS WANT TO NETWORK WITH BIG MEN.

3.Nigerian Professors now retiring at 70 years is a huge joke. While their counterparts in other educationally developed climes have their retirement age below 65 years. Everyone knows all these are for personal gain of ego & power in the ivory tower. WE KNOW OUR UNIVERSITY DONS SECRETELY ADMIRE OUR DEAR MUGABE & MUBARAK!

Pls let me stop cos I don't want to spill more bean! ASUU is just another typical congregation of people just like PDP, PENGASSAN, APC, NPF, SSANU etc. All fighting for personal gains & not for the common man. QED.

I'll only address one issue which is the retirement age. You know education is faster in those "educationally developed climes" right? You know the factors that prolong PG education here will be reduced significantly if the FG honours the ASUU agreement right?

Iriruaga100: Prof femi continue to talk about under funding of the universities.What about the yearly subvention granted to these schools by government nd the IGR they generate?

You surely didn't read every page of this thread. You said IGR? You're funny. When the schools start charging 500000-1000000naira per session, then you can come back with the IGR talk.
