WHAT IS THE OP ON..... |
iykemoney90:You call it gallantry, I describe it as primitiveness in the face of modernity. |
sauceny:IS HE A FIRE BRIGADE OFFIVER |
WHERE IS THE FIRE BRIGADE AND WHAT IS THE EMERGENCY LINE? SHAME ON NAIJA |
Where was God when his servant was being duped and wouldn't the pastor's wealth have benefited the poor and the needy rather seeking to amass more wealth? And, by the way what's the source of this pastor's wealth? The questions are endless! |
[b]Over the past few days, the BBC has been airing Hard Talk interviews held with two Nigerians who granted what I considered to be well articulated views. These Nigerians are Archbishop Idowu Fearon, the incumbent General Secretary of the Anglican Communion. https://www.livingchurch.org/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/field/image/Idowu-Fearon%20Josiah%20portrait.jpg?itok=BM6Z7UC7 Abp Fearon who is an intellectual heavyweight, and the former Anglican Bishop of Kaduna (previously Anglican Bishop of Sokoto) defended, to my great delight, gay rights of lay and clergy within the global Anglican church. Other Nigerian Anglican bishops still hiding their views need to come out and stop being chameleons. Here is the link for Abp Idowu Fearon's interview (http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b06s2yf0). The second interview which aired today was given by the the internationally acclaimed Novelist, Ben Okri. Ben provided sharp insights into how poverty underpins Nigeria's statusquo. Here is Ben's interview (http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b06v2l9n). I am truly proud of these two Nigerians.[/b] |
[size=18pt]Nigerians and hypocrisy. Leave the man, her daughter and her daughter in law alone. Nigerians hail, adore and idolise rapists, philanderers, paedophiles, treasury looters, etc., many of whom are church leaders, but condemn honest people in genuine, loving and adoring relationships. Shame on you all still wallowing in dark age ideologies, and kudos to these enlightened couple and their supportive, godly Desmond Tutu.[/size] |
Psychology graduates are one of the most highly sought after, for example, in the UK. You can go into many areas of specialisation as already highlighted by other respondents. If you find yourself in the UK system, you need to do a BPS certified MSc which confers you with GBC. Then, you undertake one of the professional doctorates to fully qualify as Educational, Forensic or Clinical Psychologist, etc. The minimum salary is no less than £30,000. The job market for psychologists, currently, isn't bad in the UK. |
adriftonmemories:CONTINUE TO DELUDE YOURSELF, GLORIFYING MEDIOCRITY AND CELEBRATING INCOMPETENCY. |
Who says Nigeria is not a zoo occupied by animals. Soldiers are supposed to defend citizens against external aggression. Instead, they are reportedly killing those they should protect. Even if they were provoked, who made these soldiers judge and jury? I never regret shredding my Nigerian passport. |
[size=18pt]I do not regret shredding my Nigerian passport. Nigeria is irrevocably doomed - not even Buhari can salvage it.[/size] |
Other than re-telling a story, without any detailed analysis and application, how is this an academic publication. This would fail if submitted as an undergraduate essay in a UK University (those of you who have studied here can confirm) I googled the author. He is UNILAG Lecturer. This is a typical example of what I always talk about on NL. Nigeria is doomed with this kind of dodgy academics publishing dodgy works. |

"Yoruba Muslims enjoy their beer; Yoruba Christians set no record for church attendance" What would the idiotic Orientalist say about Saudi Princes frolicking and cavorting with prostitutes in Chelsea, London. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3287084/Pervert-Saudi-prince-ordered-entire-staff-strip-naked-Beverly-Hills-mansion-s-pool-said-want-naked-p-court-papers-claim.html https://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2015/10/20/20/2D91A20A00000578-3281354-Prince_Majed_bin_Abdullah_bin_Abdulaziz_Al_Saud_is_accused_of_do-a-11_1445369500425.jpg |
[b]Blaine Harden is a total idiot. His assertion demonstrates his lack of knowledge and understanding of Yoruba history. In fact the secession that the Igbos embarked upon only in the 1960s was attempted by the Yorubas in the 18th century. Following the annexation of the buffer Nupe Kingdom by Uthman dan Fodio, Oyo-Ile, the administrative headquarters of Yorubaland, at that time, was overran but not annexed thanks to the joint efforts of indigenous soldiers from other parts of Yoruba land (the Ibadans, Ijebus, Egbas, Ondos, Ijeshas, Ekitis, etc.) who collaborated with the Oyo soldiers to push back the Fulani invaders. An aftermath of this is that whilst the Oyo hegemony was dealt a mortal blow, zonal armies (Ijebus, Egbas, Ibadans Owos, etc) became strengthened. Conscious of the weakening of the Oyo hegemony, the other Yoruba city-states broke free of Oyo dominance, and subsequently became embroiled in a series of internecine wars which ultimately fuelled the trans-Atlantic slave trade that witnessed millions of Yorubas forcibly ferried across to the Americas (especially Brazil, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Brazil, Venezuela, etc.) where elements of Yoruba culture and traditions (arts, music and dance) as well as religions (Sango, Ifa, Obatala, etc) still persist. Conscious of the fact that it is peaceful resolution and not violent conflict that resolves disputes, the Yoruba people have learnt their lessons. They may deploy 'shakara' (empty threats) but never, as a people, resort to violence. What I explained here, I learned in primary school and I am thoroughly ashamed of the fact that Nigerian history is no longer mandatory in our schools. Compulsory civic studies (in the 1970s) didn't stop my generation from becoming world class surgeons, accountants, financial analysts, scientists and professors in various disciplines. And I feel really sorry for this generation and future generations of Nigerians for being denied knowledge and understanding of their culture. Sociologists and anthropologists in the house would agree with me that formal education is an avenue for socialisation and enculturation. The Nigerian society is currently failing to enculture its own. Any wonder an ill-educated American would publish rubbish about our motherland and certificated but uneducated, uncultured and un-liberated Nigerians would rush to defend rather than lambaste the imperialist and Orientalist. Most importantly rather than join forces to 'fight' the idiot, the matter has become a source of tribal mudslinging. Any wonder, foreigners are entering our country to plunder our resources whilst we're busy engaging in inter-tribal verbal war. [/b] |
This is a paradox. What you've done is criminal. No one has the right to violate the other person in such a manner. Conversely, you have prevented your friend from contracting HIV. What your friend needs to do is ask the girl to go and check her HIV status. This is because, as some people may have already suggested, she may not even know her status. Knowing her status would not only enable her to look after herself, but also prevent her from spreading the disease - except she knowingly wishes to do so which is criminal. The moral of this story - trust no one. |
seangy4konji:WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD. FROM WHICH PLANET HAVE YOU JUST ARRIVED? THAT IS NIGERIA WHERE YOU FIND UNIVERSITY PROFESSORS WITH NO ONE ACADEMIC PUBLICATION IN REPUTABLE JOURNALS IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE AND WHOSE QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH YIELDS NO AUTHENTIC ACADEMIC PUBLISHING DATA WHATSOEVER. THESE ARE PROBABLY ARMCHAIR GENERALS. |
ARE YOU SURE THEY ARE NOT THE END TIME COUPLE? ![]() |
kilokeys:UNEQUIVOCALLY LEGENDARY. |
HUMANS AND SOCIETIES EVOLVED AND ARE STILL EVOLVING. DITCH CREATIONISM FOR EVOLUTIONISM. |
STOP DRUMMING UP YOUR EXPECTATIONS. MAMA CHARLIE ISN'T ATTENDING THIS CEREMONY. SHE'S ALREADY ATTENDED HER LAST COMMONWEALTH SUMMIT AND DECLARED HER INTENTIONS NOT TO EMBARK ON FOREIGN TRIPS. THAT SAID, I'M IMPRESSED WITH THE ILE IFE PEOPLE FOR CONDUCTION THE ELECTION PROCESS IN A PEACEFUL AND DECENT FASHION. THE CHOICE A 40 YEAR OLD SHOULD SEND A SIGNAL TO ALL YOUTHS THAT WE NEED TO CLAIM OUR RIGHTFUL PLACE IN NIGERIA'S POLITY. ENOUGH OF ALL THESE OLD MILITARY BRIGADES STILL DIRECTING AND PILOTING NIGERIA'S AFFAIRS. I HOPE THE NEW OONI RULES MATURELY AND GROWS GRACEFULLY LIKE THE AWUJALE OF IJEBU LAND. |
onatisi:SO TRUE. PRISON TERMS IN THE USA IS NO JOKING MATTER. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH MEN. IF YOU'RE DESPERATE FOR PUS.SY, GO TO PUBS AND CLUBS IN EUROPE AND NORTH AMERICA, YOU'LL GET FREE PUS.SY WITH THE BAREST MINIMUM EFFORTS. THESE WHITE GIRLS ARE THE CHEAPEST ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. HONEY POT SALVATION IS FREE IN THEIR WORLD. THEY WOULD SHAG YOU SENSELESSLY IN ALL POSITIONS. |
THE SHIP OF THIS COUNTRY CONTINUES TO SINK UNABATED WHILST ITS DELUDED CAPTAIN STILL THINK THEY CRUISING FASTER. |
FROM WHAT PLANET HAS THIS OLD CARGO JUST ARRIVED? |
dapsonlou:TOTALLY AGREE. NIGERIANS ARE INHERENTLY FRAUDULENT TO THE POINT OF LYING AND DECEIVING GULLIBLE ADHERENTS RIGHT INSIDE THE CHURCH. |
cescky:YOU COME ACROSS AS PROBABLY CERTIFICATED BUT CERTAINLY UNEDUCATED BEING WHO LACKS SOPHISTICATED REASONING CAPACITY |
cescky:PILE OF RUBBISH. I BET YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THE BIBLE WAS PUT TOGETHER AND HOW BIBLE STORIES WERE ADAPTED FROM ANCIENT FOLKLORE AND MYTHS LIKE THE EPIC OF GILGAMESH, ETC. |
Barywhyte:I WAS A CHRISTIAN AND I KNOW THE BIBLE INSIDE OUT. I KNOW A LOT ABOUT THE CHURCH BECAUSE I WAS BORN AND BRED WITHIN IT. BUT SORRY TO SAY, THERE IS NOTHING HOLY ABOUT THE CHURCH. LIKE OTHER RELIGIOUS (JEWISH, ISLAMIC, HINDU, SIKH, BUDDHIST) BODIES, IT IS FULL OF PEOPLE LIKE KING DAVID WITH ALL THEIR APPURTENANCES. RELIGION IS A FRAUD. PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY AFRICANS NEED TO WAKE UP AND REJECT IT. EUROPE DID SO DURING THE ENLIGHTENMENT CULMINATING IN THE VANTAGE POSITION THEY OCCUPY IN THE WORLD TODAY. AFRICA NEED TO IMBIBE REASON AND REJECT BELIEF. OTHERWISE IT WOULD REMAIN BEHIND FOREVER. |
cescky:IT'S NOT ABOUT BITTERNESS...JUST LETTING HIM KNOW THAT THE WHOLE RELIGION ENTERPRISE IS A FARCE. |
IF IGBO OLODUMARE WAS WRITTEN BY THE BRITISH AND HANDED OVER, IN 1842, TO NIGERIANS AS A HOLY BOOK AND A RELIGION BUILT ON IT, NIGERIANS WOULD HAVE ACCEPTED IT HOOK, LINE AND SINKER. NO ONE WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PERSUADE THEM OTHERWISE IN 2015. |
Barywhyte:[b]FOR BELIEVING AND ACCEPTING THE AUTHORITY OF A BOOK THAT WAS FRAUDULENTLY PUT TOGETHER AND INTERSPERSED WITH ANCIENT MESOPOTAMIAN FOLKLORE, YOU ARE, IN DEED, THE GREATEST FOOL ON THIS PLANET. GO AND EDUCATE YOURSELF AND FREE YOURSELF FROM THE NONSENSE CALLED RELIGION. THE PSALM YOU WERE REFERRING TO WAS ALLEGEDLY WRITTEN BY DAVID WHO WAS A BAD RULER/KING, A TREACHEROUS MAN, A CHEAT, AN ADULTERER, A WOMANISER, A HEARTLESS MURDERER, AND A BAD FATHER WHOSE SON, AMMON, NOT ONLY DEFLOWERED HER OWN SISTER, TAMAR, BUT ALSO KILLED HIS OWN BROTHER ABSALOM. LIKE FATHER. LIKE SON. NOW, IS THAT A GODLY MAN OR GODLY FAMILY? AND WHY SHOULD I ATTACH ANY SERIOUSNESS TO ANYTHING SAID BY THIS IDIOT CALLED DAVID? AND WHY SHOULD ANYONE TAKE SERIOUS A GOD WHO DESCRIBES THIS IDIOT AS A MAN AFTER HIS (GOD'S) OWN HEART? WHO ON THIS THREAD WOULD CALL AN ADULTERER, A MURDERER, A CHEAT AND A TREACHEROUS PERSON A MAN OR WOMAN AFTER THEIR OWN HEART? NIGERIANS NEED TO WISE UP AND STOP BEING SILLY/FOOLS?[/b] |
