PoliticsRe: Northern Nigeria Has Highest Child Illiteracy Rate In The World by ektbear: 11:59pm On Apr 23, 2012
PHIPEX: By committing federal resources to Quranic schools, the President has taken a dangerous step that could entangle the government in a messy constitutional, political and bureaucratic quagmire.
...

When recently, he inaugurated a special school for almajiris in Sokoto, he took two wrong steps. First, he dabbled directly in primary school education, a function reserved for the states and local governments. Second, he stepped into a constitutional trap since the basic law expressly forbids the government from promoting any religious faith.

The constitutional breach has broad implications. By succumbing to pressure from some quarters, he failed to realise that he was somehow conceding to the blatant attempt by some interest groups to shift responsibility for the presence of over 10 million child-beggars in the North from the host states, where it rightly belongs, to the centre and, by extension, the rest of the country. Giving aid to any religious institution violates the Constitution. Jonathan should back out.
Why hasn't anyone taken the FG and GEJ to court for this?

Is this supposed to make you happy or something?

Heh

Beware of outsiders who praise foolish statements like this undecided

How can any sensible man applaud Fasoranti's words.

smh

This is why I say that some issues are probably best discussed privately among ourselves rather than publicly

Alright, forum created. Respond to your friend request if I sent you one.
PoliticsRe: North Will Regret Break-up - Afenifere by ektbear: 5:13am On Apr 21, 2012
Indeed.

I'm setting up the forum as we speak.

Once it is set up, I'll send out the invites.
PoliticsRe: North Will Regret Break-up - Afenifere by ektbear: 5:07am On Apr 21, 2012
I suppose Fstranger should be included, annoying as that dude is. He means well, but is just misguided..
PoliticsRe: North Will Regret Break-up - Afenifere by ektbear: 5:03am On Apr 21, 2012
Actually I'll "friend" you guys, then see about setting up some sort of forum where actual pro-Yoruba folk here on NL can talk about these issues privately.
PoliticsRe: North Will Regret Break-up - Afenifere by ektbear: 5:01am On Apr 21, 2012
Actually, if Seun had private, invitation only subforums on this site, that would be very useful.

Hrm..
PoliticsRe: North Will Regret Break-up - Afenifere by ektbear: 4:59am On Apr 21, 2012
Actually you know what. It is a free world. Talk about whatever you want bro...who am I to tell you what to do?

Just realize that his own motivations differ from yours. What maximizes his interest is not what maximizes yours, necessarily.

So it isn't necessarily worth paying too much attention to what they say..
PoliticsRe: North Will Regret Break-up - Afenifere by ektbear: 4:54am On Apr 21, 2012
If you want to talk about the economic impact on Lagos...hell, maybe I should start up a private forum for some of us to discuss those things.

If you want to talk about some of those strategies I mentioned...again, private forum.

But this surely is not the thread for Yoruba folk to be talking about that type of stuff...
PoliticsRe: North Will Regret Break-up - Afenifere by ektbear: 4:52am On Apr 21, 2012
It is like the Chicago Bulls discussing strategy with the Miami Heat.

Makes no sense...some stuff has to be internal and not for public consumption.

Public discussion where our mutual interest ALIGNS, private discussion where it doesn't.

Simple.

Mutual interest aligns so far as seeing Nigeria divided. Beyond that..
PoliticsRe: North Will Regret Break-up - Afenifere by ektbear: 4:50am On Apr 21, 2012
I made a comment earlier to shymmex...some things are for discussion PRIVATELY, outside of NL. Others are for public consumption.

If there was a private Yorubaland forum or whatever, then yes, it makes sense to discuss the merits/demerits, impact on Lagos, etc of the country splitting up.

But how can you be discussing strategy with folks who aren't on the same team as you? It makes no sense.

What is the point of a Yoruba man discussing Lagos with someone like Beaf?

I honestly don't get it. We aren't on the same side..
PoliticsRe: North Will Regret Break-up - Afenifere by ektbear: 4:46am On Apr 21, 2012
It is even better for external folk to think that Lagos will collapse after Nigeria divides, lol (so long as internal folk understand that it won't.)
PoliticsRe: North Will Regret Break-up - Afenifere by ektbear: 4:45am On Apr 21, 2012
Aigbofa. My brother.

Why are you trying to convince him?

What is the point? We have to make our own predictions as best as possible. But assuming that you've done a good job of that, then there is no real reason to care what an external party predicts/says.

Let us mind our business. He should mind his.
PoliticsRe: North Will Regret Break-up - Afenifere by ektbear: 4:39am On Apr 21, 2012
What we should be talking about is working towards this goal of seeing Nigeria end.

That is a helluva lot more interesting than this stuff..
PoliticsRe: North Will Regret Break-up - Afenifere by ektbear: 4:38am On Apr 21, 2012
This discussion serves no purpose. When Nigeria splits apart, everyone will do what they need to do.

No point chatting/speculating about it here, is there?

A nigger that people avoid like he has the plague is now receiving text messages from NLers. What did they tell you...stop being such a jackass, 'tard, and loser?
PoliticsRe: State Govt Of Osun New Policies On Education, What's Your Opinion. by ektbear: 4:31am On Apr 21, 2012
Lmao.

Text messages from NLers.

"Please strangerf, please desist!"

Is that a text message you got from a NLer, or a woman who drunkenly gave you her number and doesn't want you to contact her any more? grin cheesy grin

Story, story...tell us another story Ijebu Zaccheus.

Text message from NLer, indeed.

So it was they who cautioned you to stop? undecided

Holding yourself back? Lmao.

Why do you always like hiding behind others?

Seriously...you really are a pathetic little dude.
PoliticsRe: North Will Regret Break-up - Afenifere by ektbear: 4:22am On Apr 21, 2012
I never mentioned ethnic cleansing.

I know that you are not the sharpest tool in the shed. But unless you are also lazy in addition to your stupidity, you can reread what you misread.
PoliticsRe: State Govt Of Osun New Policies On Education, What's Your Opinion. by ektbear: 4:10am On Apr 21, 2012
Dollars to donuts, you are a small and emaciated man.

Ijebu zaccheus was what you were called before, lmao.

Probably some 5'8, 5'9 skinny and frail fellow making threats through the internet.

Heh. The convenience of anonymity, I suppose.

If you do want to make good on your threat though, I am not very difficult to find. Hehe.

I will then find out if you can back up what you say. I strongly suspect that you are a puzzy nigger, though.

You? Beat brainlessness out of someone?

Ooh, internet tough guy grin cheesy

Lmao

I'm scared sh1tless of you. Going to go hold my pillow now.

A guy like you probably getting his @zz kicked up and down the street even up to age 20? Well, as they say, talk on the internet is cheap.

Btw those beatings you suffered from your mates as a child...is that what made you dull?

Or were you dull even prior to them?
PoliticsRe: State Govt Of Osun New Policies On Education, What's Your Opinion. by ektbear: 3:42am On Apr 21, 2012
So it was not just general dullness and lack of curiosity as a child?

You remind me of some kids I knew growing up...folks who despite their families having lived in Maryland since the 1700s didn't know sh1t about it or its history.

People like you and them are kind of fascinating, in a grotesque sort of way
PoliticsRe: North Will Regret Break-up - Afenifere by ektbear: 3:39am On Apr 21, 2012
You actually raise a good point about Niger.

That country could split up too if the Tuareg make a push there.

Really, Sokoto State and many of those states should never have even been in the same country as us. Too bad they weren't colonized by the french instead...they'd have been in Niger undecided
PoliticsRe: State Govt Of Osun New Policies On Education, What's Your Opinion. by ektbear: 3:37am On Apr 21, 2012
Seriously though. Why do you know so little about your home state? Like, you grew up in Nigeria.

Did you simply not much pay attention to things around you as a kid?

Why do I (a guy who didn't even grow up in Nigeria) know more about at least a certain part of your home state than you do?

It honestly cracks me up..

PoliticsRe: North Will Regret Break-up - Afenifere by ektbear: 3:32am On Apr 21, 2012
I have never said anything about ethnic cleansing. Just because you are too stvpid to understand my posts doesn't give you license to misinterpret them.

As I said, there are several strategies one can use that are purely clean.

Anyway, enough on this topic...back to Afenifere.
