₦airaland Forum

I see what he is trying to do, however, I really do not see how such action amounts to criminality. I mean, people can always opt to go and rent elsewhere. People can charge what they want for their house/property. It is down to the consumers whether they would pay or not.

It would be interesting to see how this would be implemented.


PS
As for the affordable housing, I am sure if something like that is implemented, there are ways to stop multiple ownership etc. There is similar scheme in the UK. [Not saying we should copy UK, but instead look at how they manage to pull it off and learn from it.]

This is a public forum. Try not to post meaningless drivel, then I wont have to call you on it/Point it to you.

You are not answering my question.

You are moving the debate at hand.

Now back to the debate! Under Nigeria's constitution, MEND is illegal. As a result, they are fair game to the JTF.

I have issues against Nigeria Government, past and present. Issues that many people share, people bigger in number that most ethnics in Nigeria and comes from all walks of life. You do not see me or these people waging war against the state, or do you?

Like I stated before, I see what they are trying to do, however their approach is wrong and people like me have little or no sympathy for them. Perhaps if they quit kidnapping people, carrying out extortion, looking after their own "number ones" and genuinely representing the people they are supposed to, then I may change my view. Until then, I stand by my point. JTF should hunt them down.

In fact, the JTF are doing a great job and the man in charge should be awarded a medal of bravery for an audacious move against those waging war against the Nation of Nigeria.

jimmysho:
my dear friend Elrazur, i believe u are not at the receiving end that is why u ve the audacity to be making such inflammatory comments

Dude I really do not have time for people who post meaningless dribble. There is nothing inflammatory about what I posted. Here let us throw some common sense into the mix. Do you accept that MEND is an illegal group?

Now set another "Assassin Squad" to hunt them down and kill them all.

27 pages just to organise a party - only one page of IV is needed for my three year old birthday party.

Clearly you suffer from a multiple personality disorder. How many Forum IDs do you have to make? You seem to forget that, your personality leaks into everyone of them. Please get a life.

If I was your 3 year old, I would be sad to have a you [a retard] as my father.

@Fhemmy

The army has freed 17 hostages, mostly foreigners, held by militants fighting for a greater share of oil revenues.

The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) declared "all-out war" on the Nigerian government after an attack on one of its camps deep in the swamp lands on Friday.

That makes them a legitimate target in my opinion. Like I said before, Kill'em all and let god sort them out.

A second hostage being held by Mend militants was killed in fighting with government forces.

Taken from http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/8054585.stm

You see, they are nothing but armed and aggressive criminals. They should all be hunted down and shot.

Fhemmmy:
If they were involved in the kidnapping, that is wrong like i said, however, the govt needs to listen to them as well and see to what they fighting for.

From what I remember reading, they are. I have seen them on interviewed objectively by a BBC reporter and quite frankly, they never convinced the like of me.

Like I said their approach won't gain a long term support. They are pretty much isolated - no foreign power would come their aid, Nigeria's army is too flipping strong for them etc.

ElRazur:
Can a moderator at least do something with these poor quality threads that are being posted with members with multiple accounts. They hardly make any meaningful contribution. . . Gosh.

I said that and then. . . . He posted this:

Edoji:
Why is it that we never hear from Goodluck have been missing in action for
some time now. Please let’s declare him wanted!- and to think that Goodluck is an Ijaw, from the Niger Delta!

I rest my case.

Can a moderator at least do something with these poor quality threads that are being posted with members with multiple accounts. They hardly make any meaningful contribution. . . Gosh.

Fhemmmy:
i dont blv that the MENDs are the one involved in the kidnapping.

Unless my memory is a bit rusty, don't they have one British hostage with them? And only recently released another one on health grounds?

Erm am not so sure as to how he can pull this off. He is more or less intervening in the laws of demand and supply. It aint healthy.

Instead of trying to control what people can do and not do, perhaps spending a bit on affordable housing may be the next logical thing?

Fhemmmy:
Mind you not all that are in the fight for the cause are kidnapping.
Even though, i support you that any kidnappers must and should be killed, but this people fighting legally for their rights should be listen to and not just be brushed aside, but we have a govt that dont give a hoot.

MEND is the house-hold name in this type of "industry". I believe they have one or two hostages to date. Nigeria's JTF is going after MEND. . . . I really do not see the problem.

There are ways to go about things, however resulting to arms - I mean Big guns [RPG, Mines and light artilleries etc] - kiddnapping, extortion and ransome ain't gonna get the people on their side in the long run.

Contact LadyT, Thief of hearts, and a few others. . . I heard they are down with O.P.P. Good luck.

















**Above statement may not be true**

Fhemmmy:
Do u by any chance know why they are fighting or what they are fighting for?

Dude. I am pretty much aware of what they are trying to push across as a moral reasons for their actions. However, they lost the sympathy and support of people like me, once they started kidnapping people in exchange for ransom. Ransom that was never used in anyway to support the people they claimed to be fighting for in the first place.

I was also outraged, when as a result of their actions [partly] the price of petrol at where I live jumped off. [If you are in the UK, you would recall that Petrol price reached about 1.50pounds a litre as an indirect result of their actions and other stuff.]

From the top of my head, Nigeria have lost about 25% of their output since they [militant] started.

Finally, under Nigeria's constitution, these groups are illegal. Period.

Way forward? Using the American logic, I'd say "Kill 'em all and let God sort them out".

Aint no way forward with armed men, who are hell bent on looking after their own pockets. . . . .Once again. . . Kill'em all like Duke NUkem.

flexystar:
na wowooo d way Real_ truth & Elrazur dey exchange words i know just understand @ Real_ truth, aby dis guy don offend you before, forgive am, your words are harsh as if somebody offended u before u enter nairaland , Please if i should select ur speeches together amsure they will make sense. so u guys should stop raking, let the houz be in peace and tranquelity okay.

He's got a habit of posting meaningless thread and replies. I have a habit of pointing this out to him. . . that pretty much summarises why the "hate relationship" exist.

Check his postal history, or come to the politics section.

SeanT21:
I HATE IT WHEN FOLKS GENERALIZE!!

This article would have been better if he had said "SOME".

I could care less anyway. That is what he thinks. I say BRAVO to him and he should write more articles like this often.

Bingo.

On the flip side, I say bravo to fcuktards who makes Thread/Topic that lacks quality. You know, the idiotic slowpoke that post just for the sake of posting and hence dragging the standard of discussions around here to the gutter. . . Bravo.

I am sure, I speak for most in here, when I say "We can't wait for your next retarded thread".

I don't blame them though, I blame the poor moderation.

Lol. How hard is it to find a sexual partner in real life?

I think this is "your cousin" speaking on your behalf. You know why? Because I have no flipping proof,

By the way, Awesome thread. Keep up the good work.

must_a_far:
by the bolded, do you mean those of us that wear sweaters in june just cos we think it looks cool, or those of us that wear a winter hat all day everyday, those of us that wear bubble jackets in the hot sun?

Abi o. People like Rugged man should be banned, what da Bleep is the head warmer about in a flipping tropical country? It is indecent dressing I swear!

I was in Cameroon last year or so, and you won't believe it, Folks out there wearing leather suits and leather trouser in like simmering heat of the summer you know.

I support this! At last we don't have to endure all those "Fat ninjas" in suit. All those who risk their lives wearing attire that look like "parachute"! May this be extended to those ladies with weird looking penciled eyebrown? You know those who shave off their eyebrow and put an inverted "C" in place instead.

Also those who use some sort of paint on their face, that their face literally looks different from their necks in terms of skin shade, Yeah let us include them as well, it comes under indecent dressing.

Lastly, extend the ban to guys who dress like they are in america in Naija, what da Bleep is that about? It is flipping hilarious.

Who's with me?

AmakaOne:
@sagamite

Wednesday don come and go o!!!

Wetin dey shele?

no e-mail no progress?

hmmm, Naija organisation sef.

Can people please relax. There are final preparation been made behind the screen. Besides, some of us have a job to do. You will get your email soon, provided you are on the list.

waterworks:
point taken. but it does not mean im not making sense. if it diddnt matter he wouldn't be here. the poster knows it does matter to an extent. note the topics states: 'my lover is illiterate what next?' not 'my lover is illiterate does it really matter?'

Your post makes sense. But it is flawed is what am trying to say.

that is just one. phone nko? and other basic things, reading signs, etc as shes coming to the UK it is not like naija were most things are based on asking the nearest person independence plays an important role in the UK. just the simple underground evn those that can read get confused those that cant read at all? ok 4get that. bills, phone, electricity, notices? pls get real she will need to lean on someone a lot! i never said it will be impossible but it will be harder.

You do not need education to do all of those. Again go back to my point of how good their memory are. As for the example you have given, you see their brain are capable of "learning" and as such they identify certain colours, shapes etc with certain places.

I disagree it may be hard for her, instead I see it as another "challenge" she needs to over come. And just because you have a perception that it is "harder for her" do not mean she wont pull it off.

Not going to school is not an indication that people will not do well in life.

whoever said it was if you are refferring to the secretarial or office skills i meant her supporting the poster financially without education the possibilities of getting a wide range of jobs are limited is puttign it mildly.Except she starts some sort of business or she is a housewife. like i said limited.

You didn't have to! Your point appeared to suggest that uneducated people will probably "suffer" in life as a result of their lack of education.

Technically, in life, we all have limited jobs available to us! No matter how qualified or unqualified we are!! Even with a choice of job limited like you are trying to paint, it do not mean she cannot provide some sort of financial support in the relationship. She can open a shop and run - Hair shop, etc. You would be surprise how many people with little or no education in the UK have similar shops here and they seem to make money. Even ironically enough, people who do not speak a single word of english run businesses in the UK with varying amount of success.

First of all let me highlight the most interesting bit here: whoever said anything about dating you? i dont remember commenting on the dating & meet up zone. ^{shakes head} 'men'.

Who says you did? I merely pointed out a flawed logic on purpose. It was a satirical take on what I perceive as your flawed logic.

Reading and writing is not all that is learnt in school it concerns, our logic, mentality and reasoning. she is street smrt yes. but people at school are book smart. there are many things the street smart person knows that the book smart person doesnt and vice versa. when she learns to read and write is that really all? i also stated that if she had always worked in that saloon she might have some sort of backward mentality. it is not about if she is backward or not but if she can relate with the poster these levels and more.

She already learn logic around her every day. She's already demostrated the mentality to succeed and quite frankly, I believe her reasoning are sound. You see, you do not need to go to school to learn all of these. I can give you various example as to how one can learn some of those qualities you mentioned in every day life and outside of academia.

Why do people who work in a saloon have a "backward mentality"? Or should do question be why do you think so? The answer you provided, is not adding up am afraid. She appears to be business savvy, yet you think she may have a backward mentality, Please explain 'cuz I feel like that is a headfuck.

you should at least have the basic knowledge to at least help your children with home work, encourage them to read, correct their spellings etc. Yes there is always the option of the lesson teacher but it creates some sort of bond. (as i child i always looked forward to when my mum guided me with me assignments, daily class summary's and when i showed her what i had done in school that day it helped that she understood!).

You can bound with children in many ways. You appear to have over-looked that. Allow me to use myself as an example, I was good artistically when I was in school, yet my dad is rubbish at drawing, so he tend to leave me to get on with it, I suppose using your logic, he didnt bond with me? I am sure you can see where am going with that.

Elrazur please! your accusations are Preposterous!
im not opposing the poster's choice because she is illiterate i am merely stating that it is going to take some patience and dedictation.

Well your post would suggest so. Or perhaps am reading it all wrong?

How he becomes a "R&G" singer remains a mystery to me. He cannot sing and his voice is worse than that of Mark Morrinson.

If you think he can sing hooks and chorus, then what would you say about Nate Dogg?

What does this have to do with politics? Another example of poor moderating.
