[size=14pt]In the next life, if such were to be true, this lion would pray fervently never to return to Nigeria.[/size] |
Sweetlemon:[size=14pt]Whilst people with issues, arguably should not just own up to it but also resolve it very quickly, I'm hoping you're not trying to justify paedophilia.[/size] |
Excellent responses. OP are you still thinking or you've now decided. If not already mentioned, today's MISSUNILAG would soon become Grandma, meaning that the beauty would soon fade and disappear. The last time I checked, degree certificates never expires. LO KA IWE E OOOOO. |
kutchs:[b]You come across as one local champion calling the shots in the neck of your woods inhabited by lowlifes. If by "[s]tupid comment such as this", you were referring to my reaction to this thread, then the depth of your stupidity and imbecility is a personal incredulity which is beyond measures. I have been on NL for a while now. Not once (not even when the last election was being debated) did I express support, covertly or overtly, for Buhari. All my posts, and indeed, those who know me on NL can vouch for that. So, to claim, without any shred of evidence, that "Buhari...here [is] being supported by you [Erelu_Y]" either demonstrates that you made that comment whilst in a state of altered consciousness (which I would gladly pardon) or entirely mentally deranged (for which you have my sympathy). My position on Buhari's (un)electability has been voiced, unequivocally, on NL threads. What you said about Buhari being prevented in saner climes from ever holding any public offices, I have said repeatedly on NL. The principle indeed applies. And, it is in the same vein that I maintained in my response to this thread (and I still hold, unwaveringly and unapologetically) that in saner climes, this lady, "ON ACCOUNT OF HER NEFARIOUS ACTIVITIES IN THE AVIATION MINISTRY - SHOULD BE COOLING HER FEET IN JAIL, AND BARRED FOR LIFE FROM HOLDING PUBLIC OFFICE." I am not reneging on my assertion. Until Nigerians start to hold every public office holder accountable for their actions, Nigeria, in all its ramifications, would never be back on track.[/b] |
[size=14pt]WONDERS SHALL NEVER END IN THIS ZOO, CALLED NIGERIA. IN SANE CLIMES, THIS WOMAN - ON ACCOUNT OF HER NEFARIOUS ACTIVITIES IN THE AVIATION MINISTRY - SHOULD BE COOLING HER FEET IN JAIL, AND BARRED FOR LIFE FROM HOLDING PUBLIC OFFICE. AND, SOME PEOPLE ARE STILL DELUDED ENOUGH TO BE PRAYING TO THE SAME GOD THAT THIS WOMAN IS NOW THANKING TO HEAL AND CHANGE NIGERIA?[/size] |
boman2014:AWON OLOSI. NIGERIANS ARE WALLOWING IN ABJECT POVERTY WHILST PUBLIC OFFICE HOLDERS ARE MISAPPROPRIATING PUBLIC FUNDS AND GETTING SLAPS ON THE WRIST WHILST ANGRY MASSES VENTING THEIR ANGER ARE BEING THREATENED WITH PRISON TERMS. THESE IDIOTS NEED TO BE CHAMBER GASSED TO DEATH. |
[size=14pt]Buratai or Burantashi? How is this likely to bring back our girls and permanently defeat BH?[/size] |
How could a university admit students for a programme, and 1 year into the programme - in spite of meeting the required CGPA - transfer them into another programme simply because it has no numeric capacity to sustain the number? Was than not factored into the admission planning right from the very beginning? even the so-called intelligentsia in this country are daft |
In traditional Yoruba culture and religious pantheon, the idea of giving a crowned Oba public funeral is anathema. It simply never happened. When I was in High School in the 1980s when all pupils in my school mandatorily studied non-examined Yoruba Cultural Anthropology (Asa ati Orisa Ile Yoruba), I remember learning about First Class Yoruba Obas (Ooni, Alaafin, Osimawe, Ataoja, Deji, Omonoba, Olu, etc) and how these are patriarchally and genealogically linked. Olubadan didn't make that list. In fact, Ibadan people had Baales and not Obas, historically. This would seem to explain why in Ibadan, an Oba is given public funerary rites, contrary to what is obtainable elsewhere in Yoruba land. My question is, if the Ibadan people came to the Obaship scene quite late, why not follow the ancient Yoruba tradition - exemplified by the events that recently surrounded the demise of the Late Ooni of Ife? |
All the Igbos I have ever known - (I am married to one who accepts this claim) and watch out if you do not already know this - all have two unifying attitudes - selfishness and greediness. These are exhibited as follows. First, what is theirs (e.g. Igbo land) is exclusively theirs (e.g. Non Igbos can't have a break through in Igbo land). For example, how many non Igbos are employed as lecturers at universities based in the East? Compare this with how many Igbos have established themselves and their kinsmen at UI, UNILAG, OAU, LASU, etc. This is one of the things Akintola was angry about during the 1960s. Secondly, what is jointly owned (e.g. Nigeria) is best personalised (e.g. Let the whole Nigeria be personalised and dominated by the Igbos). |
OPCNAIRALAND:[size=18pt]Poignantly articulated. Well done, sir.[/size] |
Holyman3:From pre-historic times, people have been migrating, settling down, integrating, naturalising, inter-marrying, etc. If we take the Jews as an example. They've always been on the move and integrating, hence, you have American-Jews, British-Jews, Polish-Jews, etc. When you move into another's territory (even in the world of the animals) you integrate and by fate you could rise to the helms of affairs. What is untenable anywhere in the world is to migrate into a territory and set up a parallel dynasty. Yes, this had happened historically (e.g. the invasion of the Americas and Australia) by the Europeans. Such a move, even in centuries past, was vehemently resisted. Why? Because, it's just unacceptable, more so in the 21st CE. If the Igbos (and by the way, my OH is one) must set up their own dynasties, it should be East of the Niger, not in another's territory. |
I AM IN THE UK, SMILING. |
tuale4u:[size=18pt]Which Patience, Patience Jonathan?[/size] |
Hollaniyii:My reading of Achebe's "Things Fall Apart", in the 1980s when I read the book in secondary school, is that in traditional Igbo society, each clan or compound had a compound/clan leader but not kings as obtainable in other African cultures (e.g. Yorubas, Hausas, etc.). Suddenly, Igbo villages and hamlets in the 1980s started declaring themselves as autonomous communities with self-acclaimed traditional "rulers" laying claims to obnoxious and utterly despicable titles. |
Whenever Buhari takes charge of Nigeria, the Naira falls to the lowest ebb, never to rise again. Check the status of the Naira before and after Bhari took over in the 1980s. Seems this is Nigeria's epistemic luck. |
godsluvee:Bathe Nigerians with your holy menstrual flow so they can be cleansed of the sins. |
linearity:Was in the middle of editing my response...lol. still angry though someone killed such a beautiful animal. |
[b]The killer should be sent to jail. What would the killer benefit from eating it, and why in the 21st century are we humans still behaving like animals. It's such a shame and you have the gut to post here on NL. Animal killing animal. I really find this disgustingly distasteful. [size=18pt]Ignorance is bliss[/size] If this animal was captured live and kept in captivity, the reality is that it secretes glands used in the perfume industry. The perineal gland secretion, civet, has been the basic ingredient for many perfumes for hundreds of years and is still being used today although on the decline since the creation of synthetic musk. African civets have been kept in captivity and milked for their civet which is diluted into perfumes.[size=18pt] They can secrete three to four grams of civet per week and it can be sold for just under five hundred dollars per kilogram[/size]. Go and google it. The WSPA says that Chanel, Cartier, and Lancôme have all admitted to using civet in their products and that laboratory tests detected the ingredient in Chanel No. 5.[/b] |
isalegan2:Actually, I'm not, My OH is Igbo and ex-RCC priest, now an agnostic. lol. |
COMPETING WITH ZIMBABWE'S CURRENCY. |
[size=16pt]Who occupies an equivalent position to that of Ooni of Ife in Igboland?[/size] |
[size=15pt]SERIOUSLY, JACOB AND PAPA LOLO ON B.C.O.S. IN THE 1980s. ANYONE REMEMBER THESE GUYS.[/size] |
[size=14pt]I hope this doesn't turn into Silvio Berlusconi's 'bunga bunga' parties.[/size] |
MAY ALL HER WISHES, WHATEVER THEY ARE, COME TO FRUITION. |
Apologies if my question is dumb. But, what roles did Ngozi Okonjo Iwela play in all of these? Just curious to know. Hope someone can shed some light. |
Chukazu:[size=14pt]"In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you." (John 14:2). Of all the gospellers, John is the most hideous. His version of the gospel came (c. 90–110 CE) after Mark's, Matthew's and Luke's versions of the gospel. So, he basically coined and added stuff missing from the other gospellers with a view to cementing earlier works. This verse is one of those concocted additions.[/size] |
hungryboy:"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of god". Just keep suffering and eternal hope will be all yours. |
dalaman:[size=14pt]When a student made an excellent contribution in class, my English teacher (back in the 1980's) would say "that's poignantly articulated" and I say the same to you today, sir. If you take John the supposed writer of Revelation to Monaco today, he would say that's the heaven I'm describing. Sociologists have described religion as a diversionary tool (some sort of altered consciousness) which takes the mind of the proletarians off their current predicament often in the hands of the bourgeoisies.[/size] |
kITATITA:I thought this is an excellent response which doesn't warrant idupaul's ignoramus response (see below). idupaul:So, can someone who knows this idupaul please help arrange his admission into a psychiatric unit, I'll happily pay all his medical bills. |
KingEbukasBlog:[size=14pt]What are you high on today sir? 'Spiritual gin' or 'opium'? In a nutshell, what I wrote is the summation of scholars' views on some of the issues raised by the OP. If you wish to demonstrate how to say something that doesn't make sense, that's up to you. It shows you have the capability to spew trash. I am more intellectually fine-tuned and refined to the point where rationality has taken over apathetic thoughts.[/size] |

.... Who is this one ? Can you provide evidence ?
