So this case just died like that?

I am concerned that people who supposedly went to school are falling for this thing. They guy that started this thing must be feeling like the smartest guy in Nigeria right now

This policy if adopted will only be on paper, people are still going to give birth to babies as if they were puppies.

But seriously, it would be really nice if we could nip our growing population somehow. There are just too many people milling around and a lot of them are useless, no sound parental upbringing leading to the spread of all manner of social vices. Instead of bringing in more monsters and devils, let's start 'one couple one child and ban any form of polygamy'

Presently there is no existing social framework to cater for the Nigerian population as it now is, what will happen 10 years down the line?
-The Nigerian Police are still using the method of policing that was put in place when the population of Nigeria was one third it's present size
-The population is growing exponentially without commensurate growth in social infrastructure
-Corruption and criminality is growing faster than the new generation is being taught disciplined living, so they are naturally assimilate into all manner of vices

I don't think we should continue making babies if we are not making provisions for them

The day she decided to become an actress was the day she lost much of her privacy. You can't be struggling to be seen by Nigerians while telling them to mind their business, you just made you their business.

If everybody in the world has the right to do whatever he or she like to do, the world must have ended by now. Your life influences others especially young ones growing up. If she dont see anything wrong with smoking she should just remain silent. Fame is only temporary especially when it is negative. search yourself girl!

Nice one

I think that couples should take the decision together depending on the kind of life they want to live and what their goals are, not to move in a certain direction just because the society expects it of them.
If a couple decides that the man should work for the money while the woman takes care of the home why not? This is surely better than letting some maid run your home (and children) for a whole day.

Taking care of the home, teaching the kids after school, monitoring the kids to know which direction they are headed and what their needs are per time, keeping maids away in order to teach and reinforce in the kids those ideals that make for great excellent children and much more are the possible benefits of the woman staying home, and trust me these are no easy tasks. Mostly they require intelligence, being on to of your game, being proactive, hardwork, research, petience, and a great deal of planning.  

My point is if couple decides that the woman stay home, it is not a bad idea and the rwards can be huge both on their childrern and relationship, and it is by far better than the situation where parents chase money and lose a lot on the home front.

Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Matthew 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many

Mark 13:5 And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you:

Philippians 3:17 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.
18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)

2 Timothy 3:12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
13 But evil men and seducers shall wax [NKJV: grow] worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

Titus 1:10 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:
11 Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.

1 John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

1 John 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

Deu 18:20 But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die

Jer 5:31 The prophets prophesy lies, the priests rule by their own authority, and my people love it this way. But what will you do in the end?

Rev 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

If you are foolish enough to advertise it be careful, there might be someone seeing it who may be foolish enough to take it by force.

Seriously, flaunting it is not the only reason for rape, but a research into the connection between sexual vices and any form of pornography, drugs/alcohol, domestic violence, bad parenting, promiscuity, non existent of moral standards, explicit music and bad friendship will reveal a lot.

Lastly, how did this girl find herself there? Is she among the majority that are exercising their new age sexual freedom and must follow any thing that appears as a male human being? Did it happen at odd hours when she should have been in her bed or room, Who are these boys? I really would like to know who the parents that gave the Nigeria these monsters. I would also like to know if these boys have female relatives.

I urge all students of ABSU that have identified these boys and are feeling equally as bad about this evil act to post these boys pictures or even their names online.

Bad new
Something is wrong with the world, the new ways of doing things are obviously not working,
The 'if it feels good, do it' lifestyle is killing the world faster but unfortunately everyone is saying it, although a lot say it to sound western and sophisticated.

It felt good, so they did it, and recorded for their viewing pleasure, but one destiny has just been destroyed for their 'feel good'

Too bad

Great job police.
You guys should not rest though, it should be easy for you guys to make kidnap unattractive.

This is rather disturbing.The President is giving the impression that the government had to wait for a high profile Boko Haram attack before acting. Is that the reason they have not made any effort to fight kidnapping?

I do not support the attack on blacks but I dont think we should put so much blame on the Libyan rebels because they are in a war situation and Ghaddafi actually had black mercenaries that killed a lot of Libyans.

It is now left for our government to step in quickly through the NTC put a stop to the attacks.

I don't get it, how come the first picture released was that of New Zealand? why not Lagos or Abuja?

Because they become couch potatoes after the wedding

Man is afraid, if they can target UN is it Kano government house that they cannot target?

It is irritating that a person asks a question that is important and some teenager comes up to show how useless their parents are for raising societal disasters. How could someone recommend prostitution here whether seriously or a joke? Because you think you are anonymous? This young man Seun has started this forum that is helping hundreds of thousands and jealous individuals want to turn it into something else to scare decent people away.

A man that brings home ant-infested firewood has invited lizards to supper.
Our leaders created the ugly situation and foreign investors are looking to cashing in on it. And let's face it, THEY HAVE NO SOLUTION. They are overwhelmed. I strongly believe GEJ would give us a solution if he could, but he can't not to talk of the forces that will resist him.

If selling the gigantic failure will give us constant power supply then let them sell to Brazil already. I even prefer Brazil because they will play rough with any person or group of persons that may try to sabotage their investment.

R$ape is horrible and I dont wish on my enemy.

But there are principles that if any female observe, no r$apist will ever near them.

And if anyone has been r$aped already they can use the same principles to punish the r$apists so gruesomely that suicide will appear very pleasant to the r$apist,

Pray to God and He will reveal these principles to you.

@poster, you are very wrong you and you clearly show you have no part or lot in the matter you are delving into.

No real church of Christ conceals scriptures neither can they, in fact in Christianity it is a strong charge to ", study to show yourself approved" 2 Timothy 2:15

So don't think you have made a great discovery, because every serious Christian knows those verses are there.

Now if bashing Christians make you a feel like a normal human being, may I suggest you try a topic like "Strange Bible Verses" or some other thing.

Before you insult Nigeria go and learn the difference between taken and taking

As someone commented on HuffPost, "He's the Apple of my I".


Once you go mac you don't go back. I haven't looked back since.

Did you hear me say that? Thought I had it until I got me a macbookpro, now I see every other laptop as leapfrog product for toddlers.
Sad he is leaving but it won't affect Apple.

She is a strategist? Then let her use her strategy to cut the cost of governance first let,s see how much we can save from the flatulent bellies we call politicians.

ebogentle:
How insensitive of you guys. I know that the police may have given us a raw deal in Nigeria but the rank and file are as much victims as you and I are. Where is your empathy? For God's sake some one commited suicide. Haba!!!!!

Agreed and besides, a lot of us behave like the police in our various offices proving that the police problem is not isolated but part of the decay in the society. Look at the behaviour of people in authority in government, oil companies like SPDC, private businesses etc. Imagine that these people start wearing police uniform and carry AK47s ?

My prayer is let this be true. The forces against the power sector in Nigeria are monstrous and needs a powerful investor like the US to contain. These forces are the Lebanese generator dealers and the ubiquitous China. If the US invests in this sector, they will protect their investment aggressively and intelligently.

For those against the US, please realize that America has her issues but that's just like every other people in a world where self interest comes first. However, no one can deny that the level of accountability and transparency in the way the US does business is still one of the best in the world.

Friend, it could be the best thing you ever did for your family, but just as you have to work smartly to achieve results in your present job, you need to do same and more to take this step.
If you are lazy and don't want to kick it, then don't.
If the indiscipline in Nigeria has become so 'concretized' in your person that you won't try to change, then don't.
If you are typical about women's role and status both in the family and society, then don't.
If you are and impulsive spender and you are not ready to change, then don't.
If you intend to be so occupied chasing money and other achievement while the tv raise your children, then don't
If sleeping with white women and African American ladies is your life-long dream and you must realize it, then don't
If you must not accept the fact that moving to America requires some fundamental changes that will test your endurance and intelligence, then don't.
Friend if you are willing to and you are sure destiny is beckoning you there, don't listen to anybody, just go. American is better than Nigeria in 1,000,001 ways.

I don't think it is a wise decision making this man the banks Chairman.
First islamic banking is like a foot in the door for jihadists, majority of christians objected but you ignored them and went ahead.
Now you decided to rub it in by appointing a terrorist-in-closet as chairman, meanwhile his son had just come out of the closet and is standing trial.
Even if he has 300 companies and employs only pastors, it is in bad taste.

By the way, the son's predicament is in islam the dream of most parents but elsewhere, a sign of parental failure.
The man may be suitably qualified for the position but they could have waited for the trial to end before the appointment.
His appointment might be a deliberate move to ridicule some people.

tpia@:
are those the real names of some of them or are they non-nigerians drafted to help with the struggle and who choose arbitrary names.

The poster has made his point and has taken us through some great research findings that should stoke our intellectual curiosity, sadly we seem not to have any. The reactions to Hero's postings here are a horrible reflection of the state of education and of course research in Nigeria. Our universities yearly churn out historians who majored in enjoyment and laziness. Oh my, which way Nigeria?
And this guy is AA. I am sufficiently concerned.

When Fela broadway came to Nigeria his fans smoked indian hemp openly to celebrate him, some online websites 'proudly' posted the picture of a lady doing just that. Is that the legacy of a national icon? Though we may not admit, people easily follow the lifestyle of icons, not their message.
Is he an icon because he is 'open' with his lifestyle while others like our politicians hide theirs? No, they are birds of the same feather operating in different locations and sooner or later it will catch up and they will be exposed.

Felas mastery of music and attacks on authorities were the instrument he needed to legitimize his indiscipline, now people are saying take his message, forget his lifestyle. Can you truly truly do that? Can our children study and research on Fela and his message without coming across his lifestyle? Can we for once call a spade a spade?

I am sure I celebrated and followed Fela more than most of us here and 'Palavar' is one song I reference to every now and then, but that is as far as Fela should go in our psych, with the scourge of AIDS and drugs threatening our youth, Fela should better be an example of 'how not to destroy your talents' talks in schools.

I appreciate the daughter for having the courage to say the truth about the father, she seems to understand the difference between lifestyle and talents and she is celebrating the father's talents while observing his huge mistakes. One more thing about Fela's daughter, she openly said she had regrets, most of our popular people when you ask them if they have any regrets, they will say no before you are done asking, even though it is obvious they are messed up and the only thing they have is fame. I'm sure her daughter will make her proud.
Alright folks, that's ending it on a lighter note. Keep felabrating but always remember, Fela stole from us more than he gave to us.

Fela should have been prosecuted for spreading AIDS, even his brother could not convince him of the reality of AIDS when he was deceiving people and openly saying he sleeps with all those girls without condoms. The only difference between him and boko haram is they carry bombs, he carried music. One of their significant similarities is that they both hated western culture but depend heavily on it.

Fela made his mark as a musician but that is not enough to make him a national. He was a character and I respect him for his creativity but he died not having character but I do not despise him.
He was in a position to fight the scourge of HIV in a away that no other Nigerian could but he frittered it because he found relevance in his 'prophecies'
How many doctors died unborn under his 'ministry'? how many mothers of kings lost the chance to become mothers under his libido.

One of the greatest problems of humanity is celebrating achievement over decency and character. Now it has crossed over to nollywood, character is nothing, fame is everything.

Fela gave something but he stole more than he gave.

We are talking about Fela and I am saying he took from Nigeria more than he gave and you call that garbage. I am not talking church neither i'm i comparing Fela to Pastors. The question was 'Is Fela Really A Nigerian Icon' and I am saying know with reasons. Even his eldest daughter faulted him for allowing her drop out of school

http://nigeriafilms.com/news/7927/27/where-fela-got-it-wrong-on-child-upbringing-yeni-k.html

. Fela was busy singing and telling us what we felt good hearing, but he never spared a thought for the future of the Nigerian youth and the future.

About who a Nigerian icon is, I don't really know, but I would think a Nigerian that you could comfortably point your children to with pride as someone you would want them to emulate. Fela is not that Nigerian.
Read the following excerpts my friend. Good night

Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, the international music star who married 27 women in one day and who usually appeared on stage with nothing but his sax, the skimpiest briefs, and a joint that, as one writer put it, was the size of a small African nation-Fela championed African culture over all things white and he fearlessly excoriated the military governments that were ransacking Nigeria. Foolishly, the state boosted his standing by giving him the dissident's ultimate seal of credibility: jail time. During this year's democratic elections, which brought former military ruler Olusegun Obasanjo back into power, Fela's song "Soldier Go, Soldier Come" could be heard everywhere, accusing Obasanjo and the rest of the military boys of operating a revolving door to power.

But during the election, that song was never heard live, because Fela died in 1997 of a disease he claimed didn't exist, and certainly not in Africa: AIDS. No matter that Fela's older brother, Professor Olikoye Ransome-Kuti, had served as the country's health minister and launched Nigeria's much-lauded early AIDS program. About the only concession Fela made to white medicine was to let Olikoye stitch up his head after the police had gashed it. There was hardly an illness African herbs couldn't cure, Fela maintained, and he dismissed condoms as unnatural, unpleasurable, and a white plot to reduce the black birthrate. He believed, says Olikoye, that "all doctors were fabricating AIDS, including myself."

By the time Fela allowed himself to be taken to a hospital, he was so far gone he never heard the test results confirming that he was infected with HIV. A few days later, deep in a coma, he choked on his own vomit and died.

Then began the fight for Fela's death-and, in a way, for Nigeria's life. Astoundingly popular, Fela carried the potential to do for AIDS in Nigeria what Rock Hudson, Magic Johnson, and Arthur Ashe accomplished in America.

Fela's most ardent fans-such as the legions of out-of-school, unemployed "area boys" who deal, steal, and occasionally riot to get a little cash-are often the groups most vulnerable to HIV. They are also the most alienated from society and authority, including doctors. Many area boys refuse to believe Fela died of AIDS, and their response reveals the complex forms that AIDS denial takes in urban Africa.

I am a Nigerian, I have been physically injured and seriously just to watch Fela perform. All I am saying is he had a message that draws enough positive attention and enemies in places like Nigeria, he gave us that.
But at what cost? what did he take? This is not morality, not christianity but a price demanded by posterity that he was not willing to pay because of his 'feel-good' organs
