Nairaland GeneralOpinion: Why Are Nigerians Such Hypocrite? by Diamondwriter(op): 7:21am On Jul 06, 2016
Nigerians are such hypocrites! Aii lemme dial it down a bit. Some Nigerians are bloody hypocrites. I guess I should start from the beginning.

So I woke up this morning and proceeded to perform the morning ritual which is; check my phone for WhatsApp messages (it’s a bad habit BTW). Well in the process of checking messages, there was something “trending” amongst my friends. They had the American flag as their DP. One of the Jane Doe’s even went further to write as her display message ‘Happy independence America! I’m proud to associate’ and I was like what the hell! Mind you this chic is one hundred percent Nigerian.

It got me thinking. One of Nigeria’s problems may be that we do not appreciate her enough. On October 1st every year, this same Nigerians are always quick to social medias with posts like ‘Nigeria at 56? What’s there to celebrate?’ and I wonder if liberty isn’t enough to celebrate.

I understand that over the years we have come to be shackled by other types of slavery viz corruption, and unbefitting infrastructures but then again when you celebrate your birthday you don’t have it all figured out, do you?

While I am not saying that celebrating With our American brothers is a bad thing, you don't castigate your home and celebrate someone else's. Another irksome thing about it is that some of these baes do not even have a single American on their contact and other than Barrack Obama and Hollywood, they know nothing about America.

Let's leave America for a minute and go to exhibit two. Yesterday someone made a post about a new Nollywood movie "night with a star" being too explicit and deserving a ban. And this same Nigerian watches games of thrones and Spartacus! Someone might misquote me and say this dude is implying that raunchiness should be promoted. Well this dude isn't saying that. All he is saying is that 'hypocrisy is corruption too' and it should not in any way be encouraged either.

So all those fuss about Nollywood importing pornography into Nigeria is full-done arrant nonsense. The true pornography has always been amongst us; in our lustful minds, our raunchy desires and of course our smart phones! Nollywood only prefer you buy theirs either.

Don't get mad at me please....

Foreign Affairs28 Killed In Explosions At Ataturk Airport by Diamondwriter(op): 10:30pm On Jun 28, 2016
At least 28 people have been killed and 60 others were injured, following explosions at Istanbul's main international airport, Turkish officials said.
Authorities said there were at least three people involved in the attack at Ataturk Airport late on Tuesday evening.
The attackers reportedly tried to penetrate the "control point" coming into the airport. Security personnel then opened fire to "neutralise" the attackers, who then detonated their explosives, authorities said.
One suicide attacker reportedly detonated himself at the airport parking lot, Al Jazeera's Ayse Karabat, reporting from Istanbul, said.
Images from local television showed several people running away from the airport. Several people were also shown being transported by stretchers and wheelchairs.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack. But one security analyst told Al Jazeera that the attack bore the hallmarks of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, also known as ISIS), which carried out a "similar attack" at the Brussels airport in March.
Ataturk Airport is one of the busiest in the world serving more than 60 million passengers in 2015.
All outbound flights have been cancelled, while most of the inbound flights have been diverted. Planes already approaching the airport were allowed to land.
There has been a string of bombings around Turkey over the past year, some of them blamed on ISIL, others claimed by Kurdish fighters.

Foreign AffairsRe: David Cameron Resigns As Britain's PM by Diamondwriter(op): 8:43am On Jun 24, 2016
Mr Cameron made the announcement in a statement outside Downing Street after the final result was announced.
He said he would attempt to "steady the ship" over the coming weeks and months.
He had urged the country to vote Remain, warning of economic and security consequences of an exit, but Leave won by 52% to 48%.
England and Wales voted strongly for Brexit, while London, Scotland and Northern Ireland backed staying in.
UKIP leader Nigel Farage hailed it as the UK's "independence day" but the Remain camp called it a "catastrophe".
The pound fell to its lowest level against the dollar since 1985 as the markets reacted to the results.
The referendum turnout was 71.8% - with more than 30 million people voting - the highest turnout at a UK-wide vote since 1992.
Wales and the majority of England outside London voted in large numbers for Brexit.
Labour's Shadow chancellor John McDonnell said the Bank of England may have to intervene to shore up the pound, which lost 3% within moments of the first result showing a strong result for Leave in Sunderland and fell as much as 6.5% against the euro.
'Independence day'
UKIP leader Nigel Farage - who has campaigned for the past 20 years for Britain to leave the EU - told cheering supporters "this will be a victory for ordinary people, for decent people".
Mr Farage - who predicted a Remain win at the start of the night after polls suggested that would happen - said it would "go down in history as our independence day".
He called on Prime Minister David Cameron, who called the referendum but campaigned passionately for a Remain vote, to quit "immediately".
Labour sources also said David Cameron "should seriously consider his position".
But pro-Leave Conservatives including Boris Johnson and Michael Gove have signed a letter to Mr Cameron urging him to stay on whatever the result.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, who called for the UK to remain in the EU but was accused of a lukewarm campaign, said poorer communities were "fed up" with cuts and felt "marginalised by successive governments".
"Clearly there are some very difficult days ahead," he said, adding that "there will be job consequences as a result of this decision".
He said the point he had made during the campaign was that "there were good things" about the EU but also "other things that had not been addressed properly".
Former Labour Europe Minister Keith Vaz told the BBC the British people had voted with their "emotions" and rejected the advice of experts who had warned about the economic impact of leaving the EU.
Area-by-area in maps: See how people voted
He said the EU should call an emergency summit to deal with the aftermath of the vote, which he described as "catastrophic for our country, for the rest of Europe and for the rest of the world".
Germany's foreign minister Frank Walter Steinmeier described the referendum result as as "a sad day for Europe and Great Britain".
But Leave supporting Tory MP Liam Fox said voters had shown great "courage" by deciding to "change the course of history" for the UK and, he hoped, the rest of Europe.
And he called for a "period of calm, a period of reflection, to let it all sink in and to work through what the actual technicalities are," insisting that Mr Cameron must stay on as PM.
Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has said that the EU vote "makes clear that the people of Scotland see their future as part of the European Union" after all 32 local authority areas returned majorities for Remain.
Analysis by Prof John Curtice
London has voted to stay in the EU by around 60% to 40%.
However, no other region of England has voted in favour of remaining.
The referendum has underlined the social and cultural gap between London and provincial England.
Remain's defeat seems to have been primarily the product of the decisions made by voters living north of the M4.
Throughout the Midlands and the North of England the level of support for Remain was well below what was required for it to win at least 50% of the vote across the UK as a whole.
Britain is set to be the first country to leave the EU since its formation - but the Leave vote does not immediately mean Britain ceases to be a member of the 28-nation bloc.
That process could take a minimum of two years, with Leave campaigners suggesting during the referendum campaign that it should not be completed until 2020 - the date of the next scheduled general election.
The prime minister will have to decide when to trigger Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, which would give the UK two years to negotiate its withdrawal.
Once Article 50 has been triggered a country can not rejoin without the consent of all member states.
Mr Cameron has previously said he would trigger Article 50 as soon as possible after a Leave vote but Boris Johnson and Michael Gove who led the campaign to get Britain out of the EU have said he should not rush into it.
But they also said they want to make immediate changes before the UK actually leaves the EU, such as curbing the power of EU judges and limiting the free movement of workers, potentially in breach the UK's treaty obligations.
The government will also have to negotiate its future trading relationship with the EU and fix trade deals with non-EU countries.
In Whitehall and Westminster, there will now begin the massive task of unstitching the UK from more than 40 years of EU law, deciding which directives and regulations to keep, amend or ditch.
The Leave campaign argued during a bitter four-month referendum campaign that the only way Britain could "take back control" of its own affairs would be to leave the EU.
Leave dismissed warnings from economists and international bodies about the economic impact of Brexit as "scaremongering" by a self-serving elite.

PoliticsSSA To Oshiomole Declares For Pdp's Governorship Candidate Pastor Ize-iyamu by Diamondwriter(op): 8:51am On Jun 22, 2016
The Senior Special Assistant to Edo State Government on Public Affairs, Mr. Curtis Eghosa Ugbo, today at Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu’s residence declared his support for the personality and candidacy of the PDP, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu.
Mr Ugbo apologised to Ize-Iyamu for his hitherto misbehaviour towards the man who was once his benefactor but whom he had over the years insulted with unprintable words.
Urhokpota Reporters captured the moment and snapped Curtis where he raised the hands of Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu declaring his as his candidate.
When asked by our reporters, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu stated that he has forgiven Curtis for his misbehaviour over the years.
He added that others who like Curtis had wronged him in the past because of obvious pressures were welcome if they decided to repent and do the needful.
Earlier in the day, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu asked all young people in Edo state who just turned 18 or who are relocating should endeavour to out to register and get their PVC to enable then to vote out the APC which he described as a party of deceit.
