I don't know whether you are just delusional or you can't understand simple english. i just said that indigenous American oil companies in America control their own govt to an enormous extent and you are correlating my statement with Nigerian govt. Duh? Have you eaten this night or do you need your reading glasses?

Thats no way to address the honourable moderator LMAO

Needlelady:
Which godamn progress did you make in Nigeria under Obj? Sharing the national cake in circles? Is that your idea of progress? Is it not the same Obj that wasted whatammacllit in the energy sector by filling his offsore accounts to the brim? Praytell.

Well, the little progress made as regards the slight condescension to other locales of power under this government.

Whereas Obasanjo rode roughshod over all that was before him. . . . .this President for whatever reason has ad nauseum
made due process and the rule of law, the mantras of his presidency.

Needlelady:
Really? Nigeria is now a communist state from your perspective? Are the oil companies not in total control of the US govt? should that equate to communism too?

Pray. . . .Do tell

@Needlelady.

A consistent debate during the Obasanjo regime was the extensive deposit of power in the presidency compared to the other arms of government.

You with your communist argument, will be setting back the little progress made to devolve powers to other arms and locales of government.

Hehehehehe. . . .

Kobo kobo has already highlighted the fundamental flaw in the argument.

Nigeria's government has its fingers in almost all aspect of our lives albeit in a corrupt manner.

What the poster is advocating is more government as the elixir to our problems.

Quite disingenuous me thinks

This one na korokoro lie. Minneapolis, St. Paul no get any such mass transit rail lines. Reason is not too far fetched - it involves a lot of govt subsidy. While it takes money to construct the thing, it takes much more to maintain it. Have they consodered this?[/quote]I am beginning to wonder whether your small govt. propositions derive from an innate miserliness.

Haba. . . .you no wan pay a single kobo in tax if you can help it

Needlelady:
Will you support Nigeria to practice communism(libertarian) that will help create a classless Nigerian society and make looting less attractive?

Me thinks 4play would be very offended with this pairing of communism/libertarianism

@4 him

Na real Igodo Megodo. . . . . . . . . . LMAO LMAO

@Akolawole

Was the introduction of Sharia ever an issue in Lagos?

Is that an admission the health system he presides over is not fit for purpose?

How about leading by example?

[quote author=~Antidote~ link=topic=127201.msg2150511#msg2150511 date=1208131964]Exactly ma point, And for this I am switching sides, Matter of fact I am done with footie, going back to my cricket, [/quote]So there is now someone on nairaland who can tell the difference between silly point and the gully.

But you sound like a nairaland vet.

But don't scowl at my Fuji Ropopo discovery.

It is a legitimate assertion

Needlelady:
Thank you Debosky for clarifying the issue. I once heard from a friend that you need to be from Eko and practice a particular religion as a prerequisite for election into the Lagos guber office. One more question tho, besides Otedola, were other christian govs elected?

Err. . . .Nope

Lateef Jakande was his only democratically elected predecessor. Before that, Lagos had a Minister for Federal Capital Territory.

I think

Kai. . . . .Gunner fans

An atom of my Igbe cannot take all this

It is a matter of Federal Character principle.

@topic

at least its not your balls on fire.

Hehehehehe. . .Why are they crying?

Their mouth too big jo. I no pity them at all.

Its just a shame it was big team vs. big team.

I dey hope say Tottenham go soon come rescue this league.

Same old teams year in year out.

Hopefully the tie between Newcastle and Pompey next year will be the title decider

There is nothing that irks me more than politicians who feel they are doing the nation a favour by serving in any capacity.

No be by force to serve ooo.

Shior

Needlelady:
For real? unfair? why not stop paying taxes since a bulk of your tax contribution goes towards the welfare of couch potatoes that looks at you like you are foolish whenever you go to work? Isn't that unfair? Isn't life itself unfair? Like I said before, It's better to let the whole murderers go scot free than convict one single man wrongly.

But society often sends some of its members on practical suicide missions in the name of preserving the nation.

Why is there no such despondency over the sanctity of human life in such situations?

We are prepared to countenance the death of young soldiers hoodwinked by an emotive nationalism , but cry foul
when society tries to uphold the idea of the sanctity of life by extracting the ultimate punishment for those who commit the ultimate sacrilege.

Oh yes. . . . I go chop oo

Looking forward to the FA Cup final.

Proper team on show in that match.

Gunners Eiyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

But take heart. . . I thought Arsenal was the better team on the day. If that is any consolation

It just was never going to be your day or season.

Now tell Wenger to dip into the basket of cash under his bed and spend some money.

Hehehehehehehehe. . . . .

Did Man Utd not just outplay the Gunners. . ?

Did Utd not have a basketload of chances?

[quote author=Jackal. link=topic=16992.msg2149251#msg2149251 date=1208102278]@ Doyin13,

Have u seen how shitty Wazza can be?
How many chances must he get to tuck the ball in?
One on one with goalie and he scuffed his shot. . . . Where's El-Apache when u need him?[/quote]Are you forgetting this Apache missed an open goal against Bolton at the Reebok.

Shit happens men.

@Jackal

You are dissing Wenger for having the better team on show. . . .Na wa oo

But I think Utd will sneak one or two goals. Arsenal have had their time.

I fear for them if they concede one. . . .the floodgates might open.

Oya Arsenal fans una no go arrest the Delilah wey cut Adebayor hair?

The boy powers don diminish no be small. hehehehehehehehe

Can anyone in Lagos verify the success of the BRT scheme?

4 Play:
A measure is only as good as its usefulness.A punishment that fails to deter or prevent crime is clearly not working.

The US has the highest murder rate in the Western world despite retaining the death penalty.Nigeria's armed robbery rate hasn't reduced one jot since we introduced capital punishment for armed robbers.

Surely,the execution of innocents should move us to see that this draconian punishment is beyond the pale for any civilized people.

@4play

That is if the aim of punishment is a simply to deter aspiriing criminals.


I have come to realise that symbolism, entertainment of the macabre kind, retribution, all come into play with the death penalty.

The spectators shall not be denied and the victims must draw retributive comfort.

@Needlelady

Mba. . . .I think the pertinent connection is the Love for Fuji Ropopo Music, not their religious affiliation.

Check it. . . .From Tinubu to Marwa to Rasaki to Jakande to Otedola. . . . , . . You would always find either Sikiru/Kollington
or more recently KWAM1 on their playlist.

Kobojunkie:
_{pssst** , I completely agree, I just didn't want to be the one to post it being that some already think I me a wicked racist , LMAO!!}

Are you trying to say you love black people

It is one method of population culling. . . . .Whats not to like?

But why is there such alarm over the escalating price of rice. . . . . . .especially from the likes of you 4PLAY

From your libertarian standpoint, I would assume people would simply resort to substitutes.

I wonder how pinoys in Manilla would adjust to the delectable tastes of GARRI.
