This is the most polite,decent & well packaged break up eva.Dayum!Y didn't i think of this

Ijitimehin:
what do you mean by that? we are living fine here in Nigeria if you are poor in Nigeria it is because you are not hardworking there is nothing like natural disaster in africa compare to europe.And poverty is choice and if you are poor you will not have money to treat your self when you are sick BLACK RACE ARE BLESSED ALL WE NEED IS TO PRAY FOR OUR LEADERS SO THAT THEY WILL BE DOING THE WHAT IS RIGHT. GOD BLESS BLACK RACE,GOD BLESS NIGERIA

You're living fine,are u sure u're ok?A country with no sense of direction,a country that ranks 158th in the Human Development Index (HDI),a country that is ranked 137th in the the list of most corrupt countries on earth?Making the 44th most corrupt country on earth.Do we need to talk about power,roads health?Plzz don't even get me started.
Even countries in North Africa are faring better than countries in sub-saharan africa.Is bcuz they dont have the black skin pigmentation?

debosky:
You miss the point - what I meant is that BP would no longer have any holding in the US and it would cease to operate there - any profits it makes elsewhere will continue to flow to UK shareholders. All it would do would be to wind up its US businesses and pay off whatever is required from that.

You do realise that BP has about 40% of its operations in the gulf of mexico.Should they decide to pull out the end result would be catastrophic for the company.They won't even consider that option.

Why is the black race the most unprogressive race in the world? From South America to the Carribean to Africa,the story is the same. There may be occassional flashes of brilliance i.e the Emageawlis,the Usain Bolts,the Mandelas,the Obamas (though half white) but generally not much has changed.
Any part of the world you find blacks in large numbers you're sure to find disease, squalor,abject poverty,misery,hunger etc.The list is endless
What is wrong with the blackn man, is the black race cursed?

I say any talks about dividend payments must have to wait,it seems the only reasonable thing to do.We cannot take BP's word that they can conveniently pay their dividendsand clean up the mess in the gulf.What IF the company eventually goes bankrupt,what happens then?

Tayo-D:
@dayokanu,
Please do not equate brashness with frankness.  Imagine the following scenario:

Junior - Stop that or I'm gonna kick your backside
Mummy - Don't ever let me hear you use that word again Junior
Junior - Why not mummy? I heard the President say the same thing on Primetime TV
I don't think there is a need for that. This thing is nothing but an accident. We are human beings.  Accidents do happen. And by the way, you cannot totally blame BP for this mess. The govt is complicit in this wahala. One wonders why these oil companies are forced to go so far offshore and go so deep to explore for oil when we have abundant oil onshore. Just something to consider while nailing BP to the cross.

I see,you're willing to forgive or go soft on BP abi.As far as you're concerned Obama can never do anything right.As far i'm concerned The president's language is perfectly in order,there's nothing vulgar about it.

Cohomology:
America is filled with too many idiots. The country's only hope is the small number of (hopefully) smart people who try to run the country.

You jump in2 a discourse with nothin positive to contribute.
Having said that,i'm on the side of Obama on this.BP should stay any action on dividend disbursements until the full scale of the damage to the gulf has been verified.

Talking about using insensitive language what do you make of Tony Haywood's 'I'd like my life back' rethoric?These brits are simply uncouth,take wayne Rooney as another example.In fact they deserve all the bashin they're receivin.

thank goodness that dagrin fool didnt take an innocent life with him. . . . thank goodness he died alone.

First it was this

Tudór:
incase you are illiterate, the message on my post is based on a conditional and thats why i used the word IF.

And then this.i can see how literate you are.Probably you should have done us a favor and died in the accident.Longgggg hisssssssssssss.

Tudór:
If [/b]indeed this guy was intoxicated when he had his accident then i have no sympathies for him and say good riddance.

anyone who is drunk with alcohol and decides to drive deserves to die. some months ago I was cruising jejely on my own next thing a car just appeared from nowhere hit me and next thing I was somersaulting like cloth in a dryer. i pretty much thought i was a goner  and was ready to die. somehow i survived but my car was a heap of crap.

imagine my anger when i found out the basterd who tried to kill me was drenched to the bone in alcohol. had the idiot not died on the spot, i woulda killed him myself!

several months later insurance have refused to pay out and i had to get a new car. all this problem because some fool decided to drink and drive.

thank goodness that dagrin [b]fool didnt take an innocent life with him. . . . thank goodness he died alone.

You began with IF & eventually went ahead to rubbish the guy like you were the doctor that handled the case.So far, we have not heard any authenticated report that he was DUI,until then these crucifictions are based on assumptions.

@edoyad ok,ok you hav made your point

You guyz aint seen nothin yet.What do you think of this,The largest vuvuzela ever,activated by a cell phone.

You're dumber than i gave you credit for,in spite of the fact that all you said was rubbish you still made an even bigger fool of yourself with the egregious blunders.
When next you intend to spew bunkum make sure all your Ts are crossed and your Is dotted,FOOL!!!

@op,it is still possible but you nid to think it thru.I mean thru & thru.The baby can be expelled as a still born,the doctor injects the lady & after 5 days the baby is expelled as a still birth.But lyuk i said,giv t som serious thought plzzzzz.

lol,i feel ur pain.Why don't you hit the gym it helps.i used to hav a very lean structure until i started working out.now everybody asks me 'how did u get a body like that'?

This argument is ludicrous,what exactly is the problem?Virgins who feel it right to remain virgins & rightly so pls kip it up.Non-virgins like us me also have a choice to live our lives,the world is large enough for all of us,period.

metalgear:
Pal, because i decided to narrate the story in pidgin doesn't mean i can't speak English well, thank you very much.

U dey mind am,pidgin is ok when well constructed

metalgear:

Severally, she always asks me whether any of the other girls have called, and if i ask her why she dey ask, she go dey vex, dey tell me say i dey hide things from her. Even some of the other ones dey call me, dey yarn me say the girl don dey tell them say we dey date. i dey feel say this girl wan dey see me as mugu.[/color][/b]

listening to 'free madness' just b4 i hit the club

This argument can continue to swing back & forth with pro-Isrealis & the antagonists holding their grounds tenaciously. But truth be told it is apparent the Isrealis used disproportionate force against the activists.There must have been a better alternative.

Well i'v got to give him credit,success has truly smiled on him.

Who knows,they may soon move to the UK & then to the States before they touch down in Canada

Kidnap scare hits Nigerian students in Malaysia


Auwal Dankaka Hussain
For Nigerian criminals, the world is their oyster, their new stage, and Niger Delta-like kidnapping of fellow Nigerians, their new act. Malaysia is their present port of call.
Auwal Dankaka Hussain’s kidnapping in Malaysia has got other Nigerians worried that it will become a trend. And the kidnappers have already gone to work even before his release. Now, other young Nigerian students in Malaysia are afraid of going out, as even the life of the Nigerian High Commissioner to Malaysia has been threatened. It is now sixteen days since Hussain was kidnapped while waiting for a bus. First, the kidnappers asked three of his friends to contribute RM10, 000 (N500, 000) each for his release. The ransom was then slashed to $1,000 according to the Nigerian High Commissioner to Malaysia, Mr. Peter J. E. Anegheh. But that was not before Hussain’s friends paid RM1, 000 to the kidnappers.

Hussain’s classmate and friend, Bashir Muzakkari, said when the kidnappers threatened to kill Hussain, they quickly paid the money into Hussain’s account and the kidnappers used his ATM card to withdraw the money. “They said that would be the last time we would hear from Hussain if we did not send the money. So we put RM1, 000 (N50, 000) into Hussain’s account, which the kidnappers withdrew. The High Commissioner later came to our school and informed us that the security cameras showed them doing so but their faces could not be seen.”

Professor Abdulkarim, the president of Nigerian Diaspora Organization, Malaysian Chapter, (NIDO-My) believed that the students should not have given the money to the kidnappers. He said it is better to leave the matter in the hands of the High Commission. “I’ve spoken with the High Commissioner and he said that they are on top of the situation and working closely with the police. So it’s better to let them handle it,” Professor Abdulkarim said.

However, Hussain’s friends are no longer in the picture. Rather, the matter is now in the hands of the Malaysian police. Weekly Trust attempted to speak with Alhaji Dankaka Hussain, Chairman of Bebeji Local Government Area of Kano State and father of Hussain, but the effort proved abortive.

A common occurrence

This is not the first time a Nigerian student studying at a private university in Malaysia would be kidnapped. About two months ago, two students were also kidnapped in a similar fashion. There is also a report that a certain parent had to pay $10,000 before his daughter was released. Furthermore, some students told our reporter that three more students (two girls and a boy) were kidnapped last weekend. But the High Commissioner, Peter J. E. Anegheh, said there was no such incident. “We received a call a couple of days ago that some Nigerian students studying at a certain university were abducted. So we went to the school and requested that the administrators should gather the students together and we asked if anyone of them was missing. But all the Nigerian students there were accounted for,” he said.

In a telephone conversation with Weekly Trust, Sameerah (not real name), a student of Limkokwing University, who was kidnapped and later released after a ransom was paid said she’s now doing better. She also said that she has just completed counselling and appreciates the help of her university and the Malaysian police. But she is not happy with the contribution or lack thereof of the Nigerian High Commission in Malaysia.

In an interview with Weekly Trust, the High Commisioner said he could not sleep since Hussain disappeared. “We’ve been very worried here,” he said. “The High Commission is the Nigeria the students have in Malaysia and I’m the head. Therefore, I’m very worried. On Children’s Day, there was a holiday in Nigeria as well as Malaysia but I was at the police station throughout that day. We’ve not rested and have been meeting regularly with the police.”

Diplomatic threat?

However, the kidnappers are not happy that he’s playing active roles in the cases so far and for that reason they have threatened his life. “They said they would kill me and my wife,” he said. However, it is not only the High Commissioner and his family that live in fear. Other students are afraid of meeting visitors, going for shopping or leaving the house. Salma (not real name) is a final year student of Business Information Systems. Like Hussain, she studies at Limkokwing University. She said she only goes out when it is absolutely necessary.

Sameerah also goes to the same school and has also cut back on the number of times she goes out. “Even before the kidnappings started, I wasn’t going out often. But since this unfortunate thing happened, I rarely leave the house.”

Who are the kidnappers?

Contrary to earlier reports, the kidnappers are not students but Nigerians who come to Malaysia through student visas to engage in criminal activities. Most of them study at visa schools. Visa schools are the colleges that make their money by providing academic documentation for the ‘students’ who have interests beyond academics. With such documents, the students get their student visas renewed every year, the schools get their money and everybody is happy - except the victims of their crimes.

Professor Abdulkarim said, “Two months ago, they kidnapped two girls - one from Maiduguri and the other from Kaduna - and demanded for ransom. Because they knew they could easily be traced if they gave a Malaysian account number, the kidnappers provided a Nigerian bank account number and this led to the arrest of their collaborators in Lagos. But the perpetrators here are yet to be arrested. It is possible that these are the same people who kidnapped Hussain.”

Dr Mustapha Imam urges caution about generalizations. “Generalization of those studying in private universities as products of improper upbringing is a sentiment perhaps not all would agree to. I personally know a lot of undergraduates studying here who are morally upright.”

Ishaq Oyefolahan said, “People are already very concerned about Nigerians here” and fears that “this will add more to smearing our image.” Already, the Ministry of Higher Education has removed the subsidy foreign students enjoy at public universities. This means that Nigerian students studying at public universities will have to pay the same exorbitant tuition fees that students at private universities are paying.

This may also be a strategy to reduce the influx of foreign students into Malaysia. According to New Straits Times report of March 5, 2010, majority of the commercial crimes committed in Malaysia last year were committed by foreigners. And most of the foreigners, especially those from Africa entered Malaysia on study visas.

Riding Asian Tiger of crime

There are many Nigerians serving prison terms in Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand. In June, 2008 Indonesia executed two Nigerians, Samuel Okoye and Anthony Nwaolisa for drug trafficking. And about eighteen more are on death row for drug related offences. In 2001 alone, six Nigerians were executed in Thailand for drug offences. On March 8, 2003 Bangkok Post reported that 338 Nigerians were repatriated under the prisoner exchange treaty. But many more that are not eligible are still serving life sentences or are awaiting execution there.

In Malaysia, Nigerians are on the same platform with Indonesians and Chinese as the top three foreign criminals. Last year Nigeria was second in the 419 sub-sector with 68 arrests while it led the pack in money counterfeiting with 18 arrests. All in all, 94 Nigerians were arrested in Malaysia in 2009. The High Commissioner remarked: “Whenever we are in African Heads of Mission meeting and crimes are discussed, I always want to run away in shame.”

ADint:
I don't think it is the South African Embassy's place to question why NFF is going to the world cup with a 200 man delegation, unless there is a cap on delegate numbers from Football Federations across the whole 32 teams participating. Any football federation should be able to go with any number of permitted delegates it likes. They wouldn't question the Brazilian or US Football Federation about that would they?

As indicated from the news item above this will mainly be, if not exclusively govt. officials from the 36 state federations and the NFF HQ, so unlikely they would abscond in SA.

We Nigerians are rightly appalled at the huge no. going because of the expense this will involve, but that should not be any of the SA embassy's business.

These countries you mentioned will not subject themselves to such ridicule,they know better than that.Nigeria is just a joke.There is no basis for this,this is utter rubbish.

viva is a spanish word , it means long live africa again is a tipical word that became soo popular because it was used so often by the spanish dictator franco. i wish nigeria would have even had a dictator like franco at least he worked for what they are enjoying today all though i don´t support dictatorship, but nigerian politicians are too expensive and too wicked

This is a serious digression!Bak to the Viva Africa,it's a song u'll luv the 9th time but definitely not the 10th time.

The most peacful department has to be the political section,so peaceful u'd think it was a grave yard
