Mariory:

Unfortunately the crew of this ship did not follow the protocol that would have made them exempt. They simply should not have refused. The following is the full print of the section that you posted. It lists when vessels are exempt and the conditions they must follow in order for them to be exempt.
Again I can find no international maritime law that prohibits the Isrealis from boarding the ship in the first place.

Nonsense! None of those applies in international waters, those laws only applies in waters within the territorial jurisdiction of controlling nations/powers. International waters remain free, unless controlled by identifiable powers during wartime.

Stop feeding the gullible with cheap lies.

Zombie.

Fathers Land Vs Born and Bred Land.

I tend to hear the term ‘Father’s Land’ used a lot on NL and other Nigerian boards with the notion that that is the only land a Nigerian can be patriotic to. Why?

If one is more familiar with their place of birth and the country that they were reared that they are to their father’s land why is that a major crime to other Nigerians who think that that person’s loyalties and patriotism should forever be with Nigeria? Why is that when a person with a notably Nigerian name but who was born and reared abroad chooses to represent the country of their birth they are more or less seen as sell outs or as suffering from self hatred by other Nigerians? Is the fact these people recognise Nigeria as the land of their fathers not enough?

Why the insistence that your father’s land must always be your home when in some cases you are not familiar with it?

What about an Igbo, Urbobo or Hausa person whose family have been in Lagos for years and can even speak Yoruba better than the some indigenous Yorubas? Do they not have the same right to Lagos as the next Lagosian who happens to be Yoruba? Can an Igbo, Urhobo or Ijaw man ever become the governor of Lagos? I have nieces and nephews who were born and bred in Lagos and in the eyes of some they will never ever be indigenes because their parents originated from elsewhere in Nigeria and so I ask this question on their behalf too.

Mama may have, Papa may have but God bless the child that has his own.

@EloSela,

You've asked some excellent questions.

The answers to your questions lies at the heart of Nigeria's disunity, backwardness, underdevelopment and unending episodes of barbarian-infested governments.

Also, with infinite fools like sjeezy8 making up the bulk of the Nigerian youth, do not expect any thing to change.

Anybody who insults you in any way because of your decision to represent your birth nation instead of lawless Nigeria must be put in their place. Let the fool know that your decision is yours to make and that ignorant rants about being "patriotic to your fatherland" are just what they are - ignorant rants.

Since in your birth country you enjoy equal rights in every location within that country, something you can never get in hopeless Nigeria, your loyalties to your birth country MUST come BEFORE any nonsense loyalties to barbaric Nigeria.

Tell the fools to shove it!

Nigeria is a basket case.

LDR is not for the weak-minded, the unstable, the morally-deficient, the narcissist, the borderline bipolar, the irrational, the selfish or the ignorant.

If you have ANY of the above traits, your LDR will fail!

^^^^ May be true, but Idiagbon was in his cabinet and many of us appreciate what the government achieved irrespective of whose ideas led to those achievements.

paddy_lo, kudos for bowing out graciously.

mikeansy, thumbs up for persistence.

Lawless Nigeria with even more hopeless police.

Why should Ribadu apologize? What did he do wrong that warrants any apology?

Did the president instruct him to apologize?

How dare that criminal outfit called the Nigerian Police Force (NPF), those retards that would murder a pregnant woman for N20, talk about "this would bring indiscipline into the police force"? Isn't indiscipline one of the fundamental traits of the NPF?

If the gang running the NPF refuse to implement the President's directives, then this is a clear case of insubordination of Jonathan Goodluck's authority?

Is this happening to JD because he's north from northern Nigeria?

Are the southern elements within the power hierarchy of the NPF too brainwashed to understand that northern elements will always comply with presidential directives when a northerner is president?

This is just typical Nigerian nonsense!

True, Buhari was not perfect, however, his government remains the best I ever experienced in lawless Nigeria!

Odika Aloy bu nwa nna.

Simple solution: ALL ra.pe accusations must be treated as potential fraud until physical evidence can be used to establish, beyond all reasonable doubt, that the accusation was not a fabrication.

Ra.pe trials have a criminal component and as such must be proven beyond ALL reasonable doubt. Unfortunately, we have justice system that has been pussy-whipped by lying bitches.

If I'm ever accused of ra.pe by a lying bi.tch, I'll terminate her and her entire family, including all known relatives, and then join them. No lie! Bloody bitches!

dayokanu:

This is a sad case. But how can a man escape all this?

If you break up with your gf, She might call the police that you despoiled her 6 months ago.

I tire jor

The state, before bringing the case to the court must go beyond the singular testimony of a potentially vengeful woman. No rape case should go to trial solely on the basis of "sob sob he raped me sob sob".

Can someone get the identity of that bi.tch and put it up?

How can they reveal the name of the defendant and leave out the name of the victim liar?

May God punish all the bi.tches who lie about ra.pe just to punish a man.

If I ever become a judge (happy to be an engineer, thanks), all ra.pe cases must be proven beyond reasonable doubt. No conviction without hard evidence; crying in my court alone to attract sympathy will never send any man to jail. Never! Also, any bi.tch found to have lied WILL be prosecuted for perjury and jailed! F$@king bi.tches!

sjeezy8:


If I dont find a Nigerian girl whos mixed with different ethnicities and races like my mother- then im just not going to marry a Nigerian girl- 

sjeezy8,

What ethnic mix is your mother?

Though I hate corruption, I hate the death penalty more. In lawless Nigeria, such a law will be used to eliminate political opponents. Senseless!

Yes corruption exists everywhere yadi yadi yada, we've heard.

In Nigeria, corruption is a god, worshiped by 99% of the government. Mighty temples have been erected in Abuja and many parts of Nigeria for the daily (sometimes hourly) supplication to this popular god.

In the USA, corruption is a contained (not eradicated) disease, with occasional but limited breakouts.

No comparison whatsoever!

I don't care what people say. . . . .Patrick Obahiagbon is a GENIUS.

Seconded! The guy's vocabulary intimidates many of those riffraff politicians.

Five stars for "epileptic parapoism".
