Thanks Ericology for the response above. The guy is confused. Saying A while meaning B is bad.

DapoBear:
Jerusalem was conquered by the Arabs almost 1400 years ago. Before that, it was conquered by the Romans. Jewish people have not controlled that land for more than 2000 years.

Also, demographics changed. In 1930 or whatever, the territory was almost entirely Palestinian.

It was purely a landgrab.

was conquered? Pray, who was occupying it b4 then, animals or humans? If humans, Jews or Nazis?

U guys are funny!
u are not commenting on what is happening at ur backyard but chose to worry over israel and palestine. Do u like what Morocco is doing to Western Sahara, what Northern Sudan does to the south (Darfur) or the two parallel govts in Ivory coast? Better remove ur log b4 going for another man's spec.

It's a big shame for uniben, as for igbinedion, I'm not surprised at all.

From the quote below, not all their students got any kind of financial aid. Why did the school say students who spent $15k for studies shud not work where pleases them?

Thanks Tim. Okay, I shud not do it with anyone if he has no office (i.e. not every lawyer in the court can do it). What does it really cost per document?, average cost.

I need to know if all law courts are notary public. In other words, can I take my certificates to the court here in Abuja for legalisation or do we have different offices for that purpose?. These documents are needed for an overseas study and the school said they must be "certified by a notary public.

Thanks, me i no be lawyer abeg help me.

Northern PDP is ill prepared for 2011 elections. The nature, principle and integrity of their four pawns left them with no choice than to take a lesser evil. The PDP ticket goes to Jonathan after all, Atiku can't win. . .he will be floored by GEJ.

Jimmy Boy:
Please make no mistakes, there are hundreds of politicians that are worse than IBB out there. Even if IBB drops dead  today, it does not mean there will be 24 hour electricity withinh the next 24 months.

We know! we also know that d hundreds of them are not in the race to become president of Nigeria or let alone the northern PDP consensus candidate. As for your last sentence, I wud say; LET HIM DROP DEAD FIRST!

I finally completed this the 2nd epistle of IBB to Nigerians. . .d man is just too unrepentant for my liking.

Question: IBB, did u steal while office?
IBB: As for stealing, a lot people stole and are still stealing mega money 17 yrs after i stepped aside.

Question: Did u kill Dele Giwa?
IBB: Dele was my very good friend, in fact, I will gladly embrace him in the next world.

What a man! Unfortunately, this interview did not include SAP, oil windfall and devaluation of d naira. Even if it did, d man wud have evaded them as well.

when did you become an atheist?

what prompted you to make that decision

Not yet, still discussing d terms. . . what is in it for me? What benefits will accrue to me (academically, morally, socially, politically, and ultimately financially) if I repent of my Christian beliefs? I don't move for the sake of movt.

Sometimes my tots wander but i usually will them back with a great force. But I'll gladly allow them if I get to know all that I stand to gain from d action.

do you come from a family of atheists - (no insults meant here)

Of course not. . .born a Catholic and still a Catholic tho other denominations are distracting me. They make it look like Christianity is diff from Catholicism. They look at me as Catholic and themselves as Christians. . . imagine. Guess the religion is actually divided into 3 viz; Catholic, Anglican, and Methodist on one side vs all Pentecostals(GoG, AGC, BLW, Winners, RCCG, TREM. . .endless) on another hand vs the spirituals (Cele, African, Appostolic, OOO, etc) on yet another hand.

It worries me but I can't change it.

Bottomline: I'm still a Christian/Catholic till I get a better offer (better answers to my querries)

Welcome dev but my fear is that Octopus Amos Adamu has boys/followers. He has been banned from active participation in all football matters but he will surely be passively involved in the money sharing venture. this man has been in NFA, CAF and FIFA since i was born and was not ready or willing to allow another man see what he has been seeing alone all this while. I want him jailed if found guilty by EFCC.

Anoda Aboki disgrace

Arrant nonesense! d foool is an ogbomoso man !diot. can't we have a discuss without dis ranting?

allrounder

Did she suddenly wake up? She received Kevin Pam (spotting NAIJA PIKIN t-shirt) after after winning BBA yet kept quiet. cudn't she av called the 200,000 dollar amn to order then? I bliv she was not leaving abroad when etisalat cam with 0809ja, and even glo's naija sings. She don see small boys and girls wey she go harrass. May be it's because the program is run by NOA under her ministry. She's just covering her padded asss.

EzeUche0:
I did not know that there were any Igala indigene in Abia State. I learn something new each day. I know there are Ibibio indigene though.

I'm beginning to think dat u don't read well. . . u're always in hurry to post ur lope-sided comments. Who said they were Abia people? they are igalas living in Abia State just like u're Igbo living in God-knows-where. Guess I shud pass all ur posts thru a looking glass all d time. Hausa and Yoruba people are made SAs and d likes in almost all the Igbo states so y not Igalas, who are co-settlers. . .that's their point. They are not claiming land ownership.

kheme:
well, here's my take on the matter,

in a normal relationship, for some, sex strengthens it, or money or just romance, stuff, attention, etc,  it could be anything. when two people come together, i'm sure there's something they both want/need from each other. and so long as that need/want is being met, the relationship continues. that being said, not all relationships are meant to work. it's sad but its true.

The bold statements are true. As soon as d need is filled, u may have no passion in the r/ship anymore. . .be it one meter or one million km r/ship

All d people dat said TRUST failed to include BLIND. BLIND TRUST is more apt but u can trust a cheat just because he/she lies perfectly, telling u what u always want to hear. That doesn't in any way help d r/ship cos u're living your life for your partner while he/she is living for another person. . .in a nutshell, u're a very big MUGU. But u trusted and communicated with him/her. What a pity!

To me, a relationship needs principle on both sides. . .d ability to stand firm in the midst of temptations. The ability to manage your spiritual konji very well cos as soon as u give another man/woman a chance in your life, your faraway partner or your r/ship surfers big time. if u have a good r/ship with your principles and conscience, u'll hardly err. To that i will add communications. . .always reaffirm how dearly u love the person.

Princek12:
This topic is too complicated for some NLs to understand, or it demands a lot of thinking, which some NLs hate to do. Those people therefore cannot contribute meaningfully to this thread. Those people know themselves. I predict this thread will probably not make it past page 1, maybe page 2 at best.

And how have u contributed to d topic with ur well-thought out assertion? U shud av asked sum1 to explain some of the new words for ur sake than coming out to make careless statements. That was what we did in primary school. . . we learnt new words daily. Try it. . .it won't make u a dullard.

“After telling her that I am no longer interested in the relationship, I left her in the room and she locked herself up,” said Mr Tifase. “I did not know that she can kill herself the way she did by hanging herself in my room. This is a suicide case and people should not think that I killed my girl friend. I love that girl to a point of no return and I can never do anything to hurt her. She killed herself, she sacrificed herself for our love, and this is what I will live with.”

Stupid boy, love her to the point of no return? y break up with a vulnerable loved one? y not commit suicide and join her? An autopsy shud be carried out ASAP. We've seen suicides a lot. I think it was in in Oyo or Ogun state that people alleged that a 4 year old boy committed suicide by hanging himself by window pane. There is an absolute foul play somewhere. with the poor girl dieing in his own room, this should be treated as a murder case.

Did anyone get the video of the fight "THE ROYAL RUMBLE IN LAGOS"? I need the video. . .it will make a good Nollywood movie.

estatemark:
Strong leadership does not reside on the personality of who is in power but on the system the person is able build. It is not about person but system.Despotic Government does represent strong leadership  anywhere in the world.The fact that  he couldn't  have his way in the above listed issues shows how democratic his Government is, . For a sound mind, this is exactly what we need in our presidency, A leader who is never afraid to consider the feelings of larger populace on national issues, somebody who can listen and ready to sacrifice his personal choice in the interest of the people will.Such a leader has a very strong democratic principle. This is a total negation of arrogance, regidity and lack democratic principle that our past leaders are known for.Let no one decieve us this time around every vote must count!

This is the most sensible statement in this thread. Jarus, Gbawe and others are taking a look at it from the opposite angle of MIGHT IS RIGHT. That is a bad omen. . .forget not that ghana must go bags may have influenced some of those high handed victories of OBJ over legislature and govs.

marvix:
Donmeca u finally trying to agree that indeed Yaradua is the father of modern Nigeria, a better nigeria, where political differences would not affectr our national decisions, Yaradua was the first president to ask a sitting gov from his party to vacate office peacefully, Andy Uba.

Nigerians the choice is yours, as for me and my family and friends we have chosen to stand for a breath of fresh air, Goodluck Nigeria!!!!

Marvix, my argument with u was never centered on Yaradua and d rule of law. . .may be on the persecution of Ribadu and Yaradua's trip to and fro Saudi. In both instances, I've come out tops. we are together on Jonathan for 2011 till I see a better candidate from anywhere in the country.

yeye4live:
let d best rule

The best for now is GEJ. Buhari shud get a protege, anoint a younger, healthier and person with fine records and people will be inclined to follow. That was what Sardauna (Ahmadu Bello) did with Tafawa Balewa and he went on to defeat Zik and Awo (who were in the same league with his godfather, Bello) and became Prime Minister. People shud know when to pass on the touch and not allow the fire extinguish with them. They are not vampires. . .they grow old and will ultimately die. Zik and Awo did not know when to bow out, that was y Shagari, also fro sardauna, disgraced them in 1979 and 1983. we tend to do "until death do us path" with politics and power

What diff does it make? their women are ministers, deputy govs, senators, reps, etc. Wetin be these muslim things now? I thought they were being emancipated from dark ages. . . VVF, polio, purdah, illiteracy, not going for jummat, etc. This group shud be disbanded.

@Beaf,
I go with u on that.

But wetin dis guy foto dey do for this thread? Irk abeg comot dat pic, u fine sha and we don c am. do comot am xcpt u wan show us the house Uduaghan built and furnished for ya family.

The Clown:
MIDDLE BELTERS ARE NOT NORTHERNERS AND HAVE NEVER BEEN IN THE REAL SENSE OF IT, ALL WE DO IS ESCORT THE NORTH TO EXALTED POSITIONS WITH ALL LOYALTY, LIKE A DOG THAT CATCHES A GAME FOR HIS MASTER. CORE NORTHERNERS SEE MIDDLE BELTERS AS INSTRUMENTS OF POLITICAL DOMINATION, BARGAINING CHIPS AND IT ENDS AT THAT. BUKOLA OR ABUBAKAR, IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE AT ALL.

MIDDLE BELTERS ARE FAR FROM BEING NORTHERNERS!

funny enough, people look at the North as one united zone and and south as being made up 3 separate, disjointed zones. They talk about the pact b/w the north and the SS, North and SE, North and SW as if the north is one of only 4 geopolitical zones in the country. But it is more than that, the North has 3 different, maybe overlapping geopolitical zones just like the south and thus their will always be division/discrimination along such lines. Middle belt (North Central) become the weeping boys of Northern politics because the seeming overlapping of the Northern zones does not cover them. This is due to language and religious barriers. We have a lot of tribes in the MB with very many diff languages. . .that are not close to Hausa. Majority of the MBs are also Christians as against the dominant Islam in the North. If they continue to argue north and south zoning, I don't see an MB person in Aso Rock xcpt in case of death or impeachment.

I 'm not a fan of zoning but if we must zone, then the present north-south formula is a fraud. The true zoning I prescribe is among the 6 zones we have (NC, SW, NW, SE, NE and SS). with this arrangement, minorities are sure of going there someday.

GEJ vs Atiku: The battle of two former vice-presidents! Who wins? Who surrenders? Stay tuned as the drama continues!
GBAM!!!

We nigerians are watching their gimmicks. Looks like the 17 wise men have been pruned down to 9. The nine wise men may make their choice public in december. . . after the Sallah break. Then the real war will start.
