kel4soft: You are the biggest PHOOL on NL. We will blow down our Refineries because of Politics? You are.really.daft.

gists: [s]ISIS is already been dealt with by the US air strikes. ISIS is an enemy to many (even arab nations) countries in that region trying to carve out an Islamic state from Iraq, Syria etc. The terror of ISIS in Iraq et al has absolutely nothing to do with HAMAS and ISRAEL.

Hamas has absolutely every right to demand for stoppage of Israeli occupation, blockade of Int'l aide by Israel and a halt to increasing Israel's construction on their land. BUT it does not have any right what-so-ever to fire rockets into Israel. May be its a desperate move out of frustration but it is a crime nonetheless and must be condemned. For there to be a lasting peace, one of the conditions must be that the rockets must stop.

Israel has absolutely every right to protect itself and her citizen. But it does not have the right to commit mass murder. How do you explain firing at UN building with children inside? If the building was harbouring hamas's rockets wouldn't UN have known? The UN (which is essentially US - the prime supporter and financier of Israel) would have come out with concrete evidence to nail hamas if this was true. But they have not come to support that claim. How do you explain taking six young men into a bathroom and killing them in cold bold? Unfortunately for those thinking Israel will face war crime, this is unlikely to happen as long as US remains world power (The amount of financial/military aide US give to Israel alone is more that what comes to the whole of Africa combined).


The problem with most of Nigerian xtians is that they support any Israeli action no matter how cruel/gruesome it may be even when Israel itself admits to such terror (like it happened in the last conflict when score of children were killed in a school by IDF air strike and Israel herself apologized) - It was just Nigerian Christians in the whole world that still went ahead to justify the action[/s].

bamosagie: Suspected members of Boko Haram arrested by men of the Joint Task Force in Omoku, Rivers State. They were caught with catches of explosives carefully hidden under tubbers of yam loaded in two lorries.

shift15: Just after Ayo Fayose was announced as the winner of Ekiti state election, Nairaland was attacked.
The attack was very monumental that it led to serious loss of data.
Coming to this election, I was afraid that if they did not win, they will repeat the same feat.
But as it stands now, Nairaland has not been attacked. Could it be as a result of their victory?

Kasynpaulsyn1997: Just arrived enugu yesterday for my post utme at ESUT coming up in two days and from what i 've seen ENUGU is just fuckingly overrated!.........the roads in the city are not clean unlike uyo where the govt employ workers to keep all roads in the city clean by sweeping the roads every morning. Though waste bins by The enugu state waste management agency(ESWAMA) can be seen dotted round the city but waste is not properly managed in enugu. In enugu most streets lights on the roads has stopped working and no one to trim/cut the grasses that has over grown the demarcation for dual carriage. No city planning at all! Most buildings are covered with dust. And we have buildings with rusted zincs. Oh,jeeeez touting is very much in this city! The ogbete market and garriki market/park should be moved out of the city because it makes the city look odd that axis of the city is worse! Even a modern motor park constructed by the govt won't be a bad idea just like the ITAM GENERAL MOTOR PARK in uyo. Enugu can only boost of tall buildings(which 40% are old/ancient) but when it comes to city planning and beautification its a no no no no no!!! As i was coming from uyo i was expecting a CITY not a city. In my honest opinion uyo beats enugu............you can as well visit both cities and verify! Enugu is just a better ABA!
Note:- am from enugu state,born and bred in nnewi anambra state now reside in uyo akwaibom state but truth be told----->am very much disappointed at enugu(my capital city)!

This is reason we have no decent roads?

This reason why our youths have no jobs?

So that children of corrupt politicians can play with expensive cars?

Buccaneers Confraternity
Advises the Pyrates
Confraternity to Move On and
forget the Schism of 1972
The Buccaneers Confraternity has
advised the Pyrates Confraternity to
move on and forget the Schism of 1972
as the Buccaneers Confraternity has
moved on. The statement released and
signed by the head of the organization
Barr. Femi Osibanjo expressed a total
displeasure on the rate at which the
Pyrates confraternity continually makes
reference to the 1972 Schism between
the two organizations. The statement
touches on the true position of the
organization, their achievements over the
years, its contribution to Nation Building,
among many others…
Read full Text below :
Dear All,
It has become necessary to address you
once again.
This Brotherhood is a private membership
only Association or Friendly Society, which
does not seek to compete with any
organization, Fraternity, Sorority or Club.
For this reason, we will not seek to
respond to any or the unnecessary
competition seeking by the Pyrates
Confraternity aka National Association of
SeaDogs (hereinafter referred to as PC).
We are confident that every worthy
Seadog at the time of the schism
regretted the fact that it happened and
that it claimed the very finest Dogs sailing
at that time. We know that Capn Blood
and another prominent Politician from
Ondo State did a lot to ‘bring back’ those
fine Seadogs but it was too late as they
had formed what is now known as
Buccaneers Confraternity. This was in
1972 and the reason was simply that in
Jolly Rogers I, Odas was no longer Odas,
each and every Creed of the PC had been
turned upside down with corruption and
nepotism assuming exalted positions
therein. It was for this same reason that
Capn Blood of Tortuga and other eminent
and founding members of the PC
‘ABANDONED SHIP’. They were never to
associate with that Confraternity until
much much later – probably in the early
‘90s.
Today, they seem to have succeeded in
‘bringing back’ some of their members
who had hitherto abandoned ship. They
must have done something right by those
members. Good for them. But they can
carry on without mentioning Buccaneers
Confraternity during every step they take
or speech they make.
We implore each and every Seadog to
concentrate on trying to live by the creed
of their Fraternity instead of seeking on
each occasion, such as the last speech at
the Professor Soyinka 80th Birthday
celebration, to invoke the almighty name
of the Buccaneers Confraternity. It is
understandable that they still hurt from
the loss of their best members to us
between 1972 and 1975 inclusive but that
is a long time ago. We have moved on.
They too should. We advise that a Pyrate
does not need to mention Buccaneers
Confraternity in order to be a Seadog.
Those finest ex-Seadogs aforesaid
preferred the original brotherly, caring
and cosmopolitan melting pot, which the
PC had by then lost. They set up the
Buccaneers Confraternity on the basis of
those principles and philosophies. The
ideal was to teach togetherness, love,
leadership, obedience to constituted
authorities, steadfastness and fairness to
one another and to all and sundry.
For over 40 years since the formation of
this great brotherhood, we make bold to
say that we have indeed held on to the
very original tenets upon which our
Brotherhood was based including
grooming of fine leaders and citizens
regardless of race, religion or creed;
fostering brotherhood across all tongues
and tribes and being a brother’s keeper.
We have accomplished a great deal of
the objectives as set down by our
founding members and have overcome
the inevitable challenges associated with
our growth and expansion around the
country and globe. Today, the
Buccaneers Confraternity is proud to
have produced very fine gentlemen who
occupy, and are shinning in, various
positions of trust and honor in every
sphere of our great nation and indeed
around the globe.
Membership of this great brotherhood is
currently spread across many continents:
from Africa to the Americas, Europe,
Australia and Asia. Our Fraternity has
taken tremendous strides in lending a
helping hand to the less privileged. We
are helping to create an awareness
campaign for good citizenship. Our
branches in the United Kingdom and the
United States periodically support
humanitarian causes and give back to
communities and organizations in-need.
For example, the United States branch of
our organization has consistently given
financial donations to natural disaster
relief programs through the American
Red Cross Society during Hurricanes and
other natural disasters; they also donate
food to shelters in Maryland USA
periodically.
Our Dallas Texas branch makes financial
contributions to the Cooks Children
hospital regularly, to help treat children
suffering from long-term illnesses such as
cancer. The Chicago branch in the USA
also makes charity donations regularly.
The United Kingdom branch has been a
long time supporter of diabetes UK,
running in the marathon races every year
to help raise funds for them. Diabetes UK
has written severally to the Buccaneers
Confraternity in the United Kingdom
recognizing and applauding their efforts.
Our branches worldwide continue to
make trips to orphanages where they
donate food, clothing and cash. As our
main focus is on molding fine gentlemen
who would uphold our tenets of good/
responsible leadership and citizenship
respectively, we acknowledge that the
type of change that impacts on the
society positively starts with individual
responsibility and good citizenship. In
other words, it is our firm belief that we
must be the change that we desire to see
in our society, our country and around the
world. As a result, we strive to promote
orderliness and responsibility in every
sphere of life where we find ourselves.
This forms a major platform for our strict
emphasis on discipline in small and big
matters – ODAS IS ODAS!!!
The lives of thousands of our members
have been touched by the kindness and
amazing generosity of our fellow
members. From scholarships to
employments, to help with medical
procedures etc. etc., it has been and
continues to be brother deliver brother.
This is one of our core values, which is
taken very seriously and expressed thus,
BRODA DELIVER BRODA. This is the
bedrock of Buccaneering. What better
way to foster and build a progressive and
caring society and nation than to bring
men whose origins cut across barriers
together as a Family and get them to
practice those our own philosophies?
The barriers that hold humans and
particularly Nigerians down and many a
time, lead to upheaval, bloodshed and
wanton destruction of lives and
properties, lead some in this country to
question the viability of us as one Nation.
This is what we are about and with over
40 years of a symbolic voyage on the high
Seas, we are proud that our Brotherhood
has indeed proven that men of every
race, tribe, political leaning and religious
beliefs can indeed come together and
pursue the same objectives and
accomplish them while respecting the
backgrounds and beliefs of its individual
members.
Over the years we have witnessed
attempts by some at bastardizing the
name and image of this Noble
Brotherhood. It has become a common
pastime for some journalists like Okodili
Ndidi of the Nation Newspaper and Chidi
Nkwokpara of the Vanguard Newspaper
to write articles demeaning the reputation
and integrity of the Buccaneers
Confraternity by linking us with the
violence in some Universities. These lazy
quack journalists will not investigate a
story and get their facts straight. They
just pick up their pens and write about the
Buccaneers Confraternity being involved
in some violence or the other to justify
their pittance of wages.
Enough is Enough! We will no longer sit
back and allow this to continue without
responding very strongly and taking very
serious legal and appropriate steps
against any person or persons or news
organization that continues in this
ridiculous level of defamation. Let it be
known that the Buccaneers Confraternity
is made up of men of proven integrity.
We do not encourage violence in any
form nor do we, as a Society, engage in
violence or illegal conduct. We promote
fairness and equity among the people of
the world and seek to teach the larger
societies that love and loving are sweet.
Let it be known clearly that Buccaneers
Confraternity is not a secret society by
any definition of those words and, indeed,
by the meaning of the provisions of
Section 318 of the Constitution of the
Federal Republic of Nigeria (as altered). If
anybody has any evidence to the
contrary, we ask him to kindly furnish us
and the Authorities with it/them.
We are aware that many Institutions and
intellectually inept writers wrongly refer
to us also as a ‘secret cult’. As regards
‘secret’, we feel that they confuse it with
‘private’. As regards ‘cult’, whatever it
means, it is not outlawed by the
Constitution of this country, which, like
the Universal Declaration of Human
Rights and the African Charter on Human
and Peoples Rights, grants unqualified
freedom of Association. We will defend
our rights to associate with each other
with everything we have. If, in the course
of our associating, anybody commits an
offence, which is unlikely, then and only
then can the authorities step in – and only
in respect of the offenders.
In the areas of the country and in the
realm of misconceived legislations where
some authorities have lazily, wrongly and
unconstitutionally labeled us as a
proscribed group or included us in their
ridiculous schedules of ‘secret cults’, we
are instituting cases at the appropriate
courts to reverse those senseless acts
and to clarify the status of our
Brotherhood as a private membership
only friendly organization.
Members of the public should beware of
impostors who sell fake membership to
people. We have a centralized admission
procedure which will be found in our
website once each year. If any person
tells you that he can either admit you into
this Brotherhood or facilitate your
admission, please check with us first by
visiting our website at
www.alorasealords.com where you will
obtain the numbers to contact.
We also advise any person or group of
persons in any tertiary institution who
parade themselves as our admission
officers to desist from doing so forthwith
as we will henceforth partner with Law
Enforcement Agencies to crack down on
impostors.
For avoidance of doubt, we will soon
publish full details of Universities and
other tertiary institutions where we have
no members.
Accordingly and in the meantime,
members of the public should be vigilant
and inform us and the Law Enforcement
Agencies if any person presents himself
as our member in any institution or seeks
to recruit you.
Membership of our organization is open
to only adult males who are
undergraduates and graduates of tertiary
institutions and who agree to align
themselves with our tenets and set
objectives of impacting positively on our
society while enhancing our development
as a Nation and also to those who agree
to exhibit the highest level of citizenship
and brotherliness at all times to fellow
members.
We join well meaning and patriotic
Nigerians in condemning the recent spate
of unprovoked attacks and senseless
destruction of lives and properties in
some northern parts of our country. We
condemn the senseless killing of innocent
men, women and children, especially the
brazen abduction of more than 270
harmless schoolgirls in Borno state and
call for their immediate release.
Buccaneers are determined to defend the
unity of this nation as we have forged
brotherhood across all tribes and regions
in the country. As the Grand Eye, I have
instructed all members to work with only
groups that are prepared to protect the
unity of this nation.
We have watched with our mouths agape
as Civil Servants and politicians show
unimaginable irresponsibility in their
handling of public funds and issues, how
they brazenly enrich themselves – those
in Government and opposition at state,
Federal and Local Government levels
respectively; how they sell Public
properties to each other or corruptly sell
public roads to entities of their interest
who then introduce toll gates – and how
Nepotism and corruption have assumed
hitherto unimaginable positions in our
Body Politic.
We marvel at the unguarded derision to
which stupid ‘politrickcians’ subject our
very able and gallant men in the Armed
Forces – all because we have a terrible
system in which people who have no
business around administration of state
affairs find themselves in government.
We are shocked at the irresponsible
behaviour of the same thieving
‘Emperors’: they steal their state
treasuries dry, pour coal tar on the roads
and claim to have built expensive roads;
they buy jets with state funds only for the
benefit of they and their families and
cronies for the duration of their tenure
when the people of their states require
water, schools and bursaries; they are
either stealing in government or waiting
to get the thieves out of government
houses so that they can show them how
to really loot.
What amazes us most is eminent and
transparent desperation of these Crooks
for control of State Apparatus that they
are always ready to desecrate our highest
office – the Presidency (as is never done
in any society with sane politicians) –
simply because they cannot have their
way; the silliest tantrums otherwise now
known as ‘open Letter’ is their stock-in-
trade. And together with the failing paid
PRESS that we now have, they are
prepared to beat drums of war and
imaginary catastrophe or make open
clarion calls for pogrom in some parts of
the country upon their loss in the ‘power
Game’ or at the earliest indication of even
a genuine electoral loss.
We warn all of you. When and if the war
starts, you cannot even wait to see it. All
your loots will burn………… BE
WARNED!!!!!! STOP! THINK! ……. If you
run out of the country, we, Nigerian
citizens here and abroad and your
prospective host countries will come after
you…
As the elections draw nearer, I must warn
all Buccaneers in various political parties
to desist from fighting one another and,
to not be involved in un-brotherly or
unlawful activities. I will not fail to
YELLOW spot any buccaneer who falls
below par or who is proven to be involved
in any form of violence anywhere and at
any time. I have spoken.
