U.S.A is the tyrant, NATO is the tyrant. We all should stand behind Gadaffi. U.S.A doesnt want a United States of Africa
honeric01:
As long as Libya is better off than the biggest Democracy in Africa, Nigeria, i prefer a Gaddaffi to most Nigerian presidents.
I am not surprised since you Nigerians.

So Gaddaffi should be allowed to rule Lybia forever.

Well the Libyans knows better.

I have been in kano for the past 3 months and how come i never notice this socalled army?
The red cap was just worn that day to signify their support for the dude thats all.

Cheap publicity![/quote]That is the North for you.

The Hisbah Guard has been in operation since OBJ era when they declared sharia.

I remember some Northern Senators during Yerima underage marriage saga saying their religion is superior to the Nigerian constitution.

They always see Islamic laws as Superior.

belabela:
Gaddafi - Free housing, Free health, Free education
Democracy - Nothing is free. The capitalists take it all.

I can't really see the point in NATO's intervention except that prophesy has to be fulfilled. Libya will only be as free as Iran and I don't know if that will mean more freedom than when Gaddafi is their leader.

Egypt and Libya would  align with Iran. They will all be Islamic republics
Germany would rise to become the leader of the Europeans Union superstate ( UK would likely leave the Union)
Germany led Europe will clash with Iran and its allies. And Germany would win.
It's quite interesting to see how things unfold.
Catholicism would be reintroduced in Europe and many Christians would be killed
So because Gaddafi is giving Libyans free this free that.

Then Gaddafi should be allowed to rule forever.

One i know is that 80% of Libyans, want Gaddafi out, and what the Libyans do with western countries is their business.

Since we Nigerians want to live in the comfort of our corruption, we will continue to suffer.

[quote author=Negro_Ntns link=topic=740215.msg8964865#msg8964865 date=1313787396]For Iwuchukwu to be the chairman of this community association it would appear that this is a community largely of Igbos and possibly their houses are affected in this tussle.

I have said many times that land use act in Yorubaland is different from most other places in the country. The constitution will not defend you when issues like this come up. Harsh as it sounds I'm suspecting that the person that sold the land 30yrs ago may have done so as a developer and not as a landowner.

The landowner is the last holder of rights on any land on Yorubasoil, his/her consent carries the day.

Why are Ibos loosing homes in Abuja and Lagos, the two capitals?[/quote]They seems to forget that every land in Yoruba land has it ownership tied to families.

It ideal to deal directly with these families before going to the GOVT.

Even in developed countries, example in the UK- if you like have billions in your account - the maximum you can withdraw over the counter per day is £1200, and from an ATM - £300:00. If you want more than 1200 pounds in a day, you have to tell the bank on time and they will book you in for a day to come- so, what are the bush people in Nigeria shouting about?

You want to be like the developed countries, yet you dont want to do like they do.

OP - if you like bury your money inside the toilet, noone cares. You need to chill and think right before you call another person names.
Nonsense, you can spend as much as you want from your account, if done through e-banking or cheque issuance.



E-banking is created to reduce too much cash in the system and  not to reduce spending.
Jokes Etc › Re: Ngozi Okonjo Iweala Resigns After Inspecting Federation Accounts by emmatok(m): 8:25pm On Aug 19, 2011
"I am not a magician," says minister. Photo: Wikipedia



Abuja – The transformational agenda of President Jonathan Ebele Goodluck has been thrown into turmoil following the sudden resignation of finance minister, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo Iweala.

Accounts vary over what has led to her premature resignation just days after resuming in her new role but the president’s spokesman, Mr Reuben Abati, is expected to release a press statement blaming it on General Buhari and the CPC party.

Sources close to the former World Bank MD hint that her first action in her short-lived role as finance minister was to demand an inspection of the nation’s financial records.

Sources further claim that after reading through the federation accounts Dr Okonjo Iweala cried out in her native Igbo language grin grin grin and not long after that she handed in her hand written resignation.

Attempts to obtain a photocopy of the resignation letter failed due to a power outage at the ministry of finance but witnesses who have seen it have provided a transcript of its content:


Dear Sir,

Thank you for the confidence you’ve placed in me but this is beyond me, and I dare say, it is beyond any living person. tongue tongue tongue tongue
You don’t need me. You need God.
Good luck with all that.

Signed: Dr. Ngozi Okonjo Iweala.

P.S: I donate my salaries till date to the Save Nigeria Fund (Prayer Group Committee).

Politics › Re: Nigerian Police Harassment @ Jibowu Railway Track by emmatok(m): 6:44pm On Aug 19, 2011
Another one at the-same Railway Track.

Lecturer Escapes Police Gun Shots
A lecturer at the Federal College of Education, Akoka, Lagos, Southwest Nigeria, Mrs. Abimbola Bankole, escaped being killed by a Police Inspector, Gabriel Akpan, attached to Railway Police Station, Elewedu, Mushin, Lagos on Wednesday.
P.M.NEWS learnt that Mrs. Bankole was driving her Toyota Avalon car when the police inspector shot at her but missed his target.
Narrating her experience, Mrs. Bankole said: “I was driving towards Jibowu from Ojuelegba. At a point, the traffic light was green and when it turned red, I found myself on the rail line. As I tried to reverse my car, there was no space and suddenly the police inspector brandishing a rifle, ordered me to open my door and I refused because I did not know him and I was scared.
“As I tried to park, he shot at me and missed his target. When I eventually parked my car I came down to ask him what offence did I commit.
“He told me to surrender my car key. Then suddenly, the Divisional Police Officer, DPO, in charge of the station, Alhaja Bello, stormed the scene to take me to the station alongside owners of about 10 other vehicles.
“At the station the police inspector lied that I drove dangerously; that I wanted to kill a police officer (referring to himself) and I was told to write my statement, which I did. Thereafter, he boasted that he would take me to court.
“All other people whose cars were also impounded were later allowed to go, on what condition, I did not know.”
An eye witness, who gave his name as Deola Akanni, said: “ The Police Inspector, Akpan, is a wicked man. This woman (Mrs. Bankole) was so lucky. If he had killed her, he would have blamed it on accidental discharge.”
One of the residents in the area, Kabiru Asimiyu, said: “ I can never allow my children to join the police force. Most of them bring shame to us and when you try to correct them, you are in trouble. They thought if they did that to the woman, she would bring out money to beg them.”
When P.M. NEWS reporters called at the station following the incident, the DPO, Alhaja Bello and Inspector Akpan threatened to shoot at them.

The only time you should not drive or stop on a rail a Railway Track, is when a TRAIN is on the track.

Politics › Re: Negative Influence Of Media In Africa by emmatok(m): 1:26pm On Aug 19, 2011
[quote author=Ricky_Ross link=topic=739575.msg8960624#msg8960624 date=1313753793]Very sad but true,
The western media are all white supremacists, they never want to show anything positive about Africa. They want Africans and the rest of the world to see Africa as hell on earth. I got tired of their rubbish long ago and i stopped watching CNN, BBC and the rest.

When you show mud houses in Africa why not show the sky scrappers as well? Why is it always bad things they report about Africa? Famine, poverty, HIV/AIDS, Wars etchuh? Does it mean there are no positive things happening here? These western media will wake up one day and tell you 90% of all Africans live in abject poverty, how many people did they interview in Africa to get this figure?

Each time i go to my village i look around and i dont see the poverty the way they show it. Every man or woman in my village has a job no matter how small. There is fertile ground and food/fruits everywhere, every family in my village in Imo State has at least one graduate, so i dont see this poverty at all. I always tell people that we Nigerians are richer than the British but most of our people are too blind to see it. At least the global recession has opened their yansh now, at least we know America and much of Europe is in recession. In UK for instance everyone is in debt. They claim they are rich but they never buy anything with their own money, they have to buy on credit simply bc they dont have the cash to pay. Here in Nigeria everything i have belongs to me 100% bc i pay for it cash. From clothes to cars, properties, phones etc. In the UK its a different story, they claim this is their house but in reality it takes them 30 or 40 years to pay off their mortgages. Most people in the UK buy even mobile phones on credit simply bc they don't have the cash to pay.

Let me give you a good instance of western media propaganda in Africa. Last two years some European/American companies failed to get lucrative contracts in Ghana. Within few months they cooked up some reports claiming Ghana is the worlds 9th worst economy even behind Haiti that doesn't have any natural resources. Is this possible? What criteria did they use to arrive at that? Even they claimed Accra, Ghana is the worst city to live in the world. But since these western companies got the contracts they are looking for in Ghana, they have been singing Ghana praises lately. At the moment they claim Ghana is the best country in Africa even above South Africa and Botswana, Ghana is this and Ghana is that. We know they are singing these praises bc they need lucrative contracts in Ghana. AFRICANS PLS WAKE UP[/quote]+1

pls try pronounce "come here OO and joor O" did they sound alike? anyway i wont go further b4 it turns to another thing. lets end it here,

and igbos also have that O(as in Obasanjo) in their alphabet with point under so me too isnt that sure who owns the lang. cool
I don't understand you.

Are you saying Obasanjo is an Igbo name?

The Obasanjo is "O'" and not "O"

The Yoruba vowels are:

a,e,i,o,o',u

"O" in Yoruba is used when communicating with your age mate or someone at your level.

"E" is used when communicating with an adult or superior.

i dont know of other tribe so may be im wrong
The "O" intonation is from the Yoruba.

Most of the time he was up front defending while messi was on the other side of the pitch wandering off aimlessly. . .

One of his shots were so powerful, it almost ripped through valdes' hands. grin grin grin

Someone even asked me if messi was one the bench and believe me, it was her first time she had ever watched a madrid vs barcelona match, that just tells you how absent he was from the pitch.

Face it, ronaldo was better but messi was luckier! wink[/color][/quote]Lol, you joking en.

Ronaldo beat messi by a long mile for his second european golden shoe making him the only player to have achieved that feat in two different teams and leagues and scored a record 40 goals in la liga putting him above zarra and hugo sanchez in the history books, where was messi the whole season and you sit there making a judgement based on goals for something that's not even considered a tournament? grin grin grin

Okay, let's see messi's goals in the major tournament in football.

World Cup:

Ronaldo-1 goal ( was ousted by a lone goal by the world champions in the round of 16)

Messi -0 goals,  (was ousted by a 4-0 thrashing  in the quarterfinals)

Copa America:

Messi-0 goals, could only shine against a sub-22 division costa rica team and was later ousted by uruguay.

By this time last month, while messi was thrashed out of the copa america, ronaldo was shining against LA GALAXY.[/color] wink wink[/quote]Lol, Your initial claim was that Messi was absent during the first lag of the SUPER-CUP.

I just prove it that Messi was better than Ronaldo in both legs.

Now you are bringing their National games

Both players don't do well in National level.

[quote author=mama-gee link=topic=738975.msg8956742#msg8956742 date=1313703504][color=deeppink]Ronaldo is better than messi, where was messi in the first leg?

He was nowhere to be found just because Xavi was on the bench and he only managed to score a goal because of a mistake from the madrid defenders, as a matter of fact, I don't think he touched the ball up to five times throughout the whole match. lipsrsealed lipsrsealed

Ronaldo played extremely well in the first leg and didn't need a tap in and he played well to in the second leg too. . .

Only recently did people realize it, at least that's why Pro evolution soccer ditched messi for ronaldo as their PES 2012 cover star.[/color][/quote]HA, HA, 

How many goal/s did Ronaldo scored in both legs.

First leg goals

Ronaldo- 0

Messi -1

Second leg goals

Ronaldo-1

Messi -2

You see Messi is Better in Both Legs.

That is apart from Messi's assist.

sleekman:
I'm a lifelong madrid supporter but I have to be honest with the assesment of both legs. Madrid honestly outplayed barcelona but Messi is just too good. He is undoubtedly the best player on the planet. He performs in big games unlike our Christiano Ronaldo who always fails to live up to big games. I do have some points on Madrid's performance


Minus
-Mourhino failed tactically to pocket Messi
-Khedira isn't performing his role effectively because Pepe would definetely slow down Messi and not allow him the space he was given
-Marcelo is just an , He was lucky not to get a red in the first leg
-Although Benzema didn't perform the way I expected I must say that Mourhino shouldn't have taken him out instead Khedira should have been taken out and replaced with Callejon, with Coentrao and Marcelo alternating between 3 and 4 positions.
-Clearly shows that Carvalho is actually reducing in performance we might need a new defender.
-I wonder how a Madrid team with Nuri Sahin as ochestrator would perform against the likes of Xavi and Iniesta in midfield
-Kaka failed to bring in urgency into the attack and midfield. In my opinion he eigther needs more playing time or he's a spent force in football.

Plus
-Apart from a few mistakes highlighted above Mourhino did well. He reduced Barca's dominance in midfield
-The chances on goal should have been clearly taken advantage of with Benzema being the biggest culprit but Mourhino's team is the only team to have so many chances at goal against a Barca full team.
- A highly entertaining game with lots of positives to say there is a bright future for this team.
-This performance would be a future big profit generator for the future because non of the premier league teams would give you this kind of exciting football performance.
-
Now you know that Christiano Ronaldo is over-hyped.

Check  out all Barcelona Vs Real Madrid.

Messi- 7goals
Barcelona Vs Real Madrid -2 goals

One on one Messi is better than Christiano Ronaldo .
