true2god: Any Igboman criticising dis woman must be stupid. Where were all this criticism wen Femi Fani Kayode was the aviation minister? Was he not more corrupt? Whats about the N17billion fraud at the aviation ministry under FFK, whats the EFCC's verdict? Lets stop fooling ourselves, a section of the country wants her out, just as they want GEJ out at all cost cos they are not serving their evil interest.

A section of the country recently said the opening of intl flight at the east will kill local air travel biz, can u all understand their schemes and thinkin? Knowing fully well that Igbos do intl travel a lot and the impact it might have on their region if Igbos travel frm their region without having to take a local flight to Lagos before taking their flight abroad. They want no good for Igbos and r ready to destroy wateva good that seems to be comin to the region.

Let rally behind the minister, we all knw 95% nigeria politicians are corrupt and Nigeria is a jungle state where the 'advantaged' wanna continue holding dowm the 'disadvantaged'.
. This is why this country will never grow nor corruption will end, because of people with this mindset. We are seperated because of region/ relegion. Why can't we do the right thing? So u are in support of corruption because she is from east? When one is doing the wrong thing we shouldn't be in support because he or she is from our geogrephical location but we should be plain. Do u know if that money is put into a particular businsess how many people will benifit from it throught job oppotunities? We keep crying no job oppotunity, corruption is eating deep into our country, all u can say is this?#smh for u

Religion / What Do U Think About Africans And Religion? by estilo45(f): 11:58am On Jun 09, 2013
Estilo shared the following link and had this to say about it:

The two biggest dangers of religion, in my opinion, are the tendency to suspend reasoning and blame the devil for actions that we should accept responsibility for. To illustrate the first point, watch this short video clip.

It is obvious that the ‘deliverance act’ is planned and rehearsed. The pastor walks up to the front row and chooses his subject. The deaf subject does some convulsive movements to add drama and persuade the congregation that his story is genuine. The pastor then 'delivers' him from the ‘spirit of deafness’ and his hearing and speaking faculties are instantly restored. I mean, what the heck is the ‘spirit of deafness’? Anyway, the convulsive movements stop soon after. The huge congregation claps rapturously, sings and praises God for the miracle. Some members walk to the pastor’s feet to drop what appear to be monies.

I am amazed how and why a large number of people, some no doubt intelligent, cannot see beyond this deception. Thousands of such miracle services take place everyday; the countless numbers of videos on you-tube testify to this. I know some will say the videos don’t represent Christianity. I agree they shouldn’t but in reality, they are becoming rather commonplace; and one might argue, representative. There are deliverance services for the spirits of poverty, diseases, infertility, generational curses etc. What we desperately need, but lacking, are services where the spirits of corruption are exorcised from our thieving politicians. Instead, some of these spiritual leaders (pastors and imams alike) wine and dine, pray for, and decree more blessings and prosperity into the lives of these thieves. Perhaps, corruption does not have a spirit.

PS
For the benefit of non-African readers, deliverance is used synonymously with exorcism.

Islam for Muslims / The Hypocrisy Of Dr Ahmed Datti, Presedent Of Suprime Coucil Of Sharia In Nigeri by estilo45(f): 10:13pm On Jun 08, 2013
THE HYPOCRISY OF DR AHMED DATTI, PRESIDENT OF THE SUPREME COUNCIL OF SHARIA IN NIGERIA

Let us start by briefly examining the almajiris, about whom one of my friends and colleagues has adequately written. You would have seen one, in every corner, if you have travelled to northern Nigeria. They are literally everywhere. These youngsters have little, if any, Western education. They spend the day roaming the streets begging for food and alms. Their mornings and evenings are usually spent reciting the Qur’an in mosques or Qur’anic schools. Often, they are taken hundreds of miles away from their parents and have very little contact with them. They are not taught or given any life-changing skills. They are tough and hardy. There is usually a big man or a teacher that they are answerable to - sort of. This big man or teacher is a kind of bread-winner, if you like, in the sense that he gives them alms (zaka) or provides porridge (kunu), beans cake (kosai) for breakfast or dinner from time to time. A lot of big men give alms as well. This assures rewards from Allah to the benefactors. The almajiri’s allegiance is usually to his teacher(s) and regular benefactors – the big men.

The big men have children too. They get to recite the Qur’an too. But, in addition, they get formal Western education. Some of them become doctors, lawyers, engineers and travel to western countries like the UK and the USA for higher degrees or to work. Upon returning to Nigeria, they often have juicy jobs in government or large corporations waiting for them or they join politics. They soon replace their parents and repeat the cycle.

The almajiris are an unfortunate group of people. Their parents, like them, are neither educated nor rich. They are complacent, unquestioning, and fatalistic and, whatever happens to them is the will of Allah. It’s nearly impossible for them to break free from the mould of subjugation and the big men are there to make sure the cycle continues unbroken – mainly by keeping them away from Western education.

A respected doctor, Dr Ahmed Datti, formed the Supreme Council of Sharia in Nigeria around 1999 (approximate but unsure). More than a decade later, there is no statement of purpose or direction that is accessible to the public. The council has no website. This is shocking when you consider that Sharia is either partially or fully implemented in nearly all of Northern Nigeria and impacts the lives of nearly160million people in one way or another. Dr Datti’s children have all received first class Western education and some of them live in Western countries where they practice as doctors. I am acquainted with one of them. His grandchildren, as a result, are equally receiving good Western education. I have no doubt that their children’s children will continue to be similarly educated. Why then does he insist on spreading Sharia and denying the poor almajiris this basic human right? If he truly believes what he preaches, shouldn’t his children and grandchildren be begging for alms and food on the streets of Sokoto, Zamfara, Bauchi or Borno states? I think this behaviour is most hypocritical and should be condemned by all, not least, all true muslims in whose religion’s name this act is perpetrated. This man, and his ilks, uses religion for his selfish ends. When I find the motivation, I shall write about his partner in crime, former governor of Zamfara State and current senator, Ahmad Sanni Yerima.

This brings me to the point of this article. Our fragile national unity is threatened by Boko Haram – a group with an incoherent agenda, much like the Supreme Council of Sharia in Nigeria, the brainchild of Dr Ahmed Datti. The founder of Boko Haram, the late Mohammed Yusuf, was a member of Dr Datti’s council. Is it then a coincidence that Boko Haram has gone berserk and the only person, who, some people believe can rein in this genocidal group, Dr Ahmed Datti, has not once condemned the group but continues to find excuses not to talk to them? I leave you to draw your own conclusions.

Finally, the almajiris, who would benefit most from this type of article, will not have access to a computer. And even if they did, they are likely to not be able to read. And even if they could read, most worryingly I suspect, they are too brain washed and radicalised to notice the message. Sadly, this message would have come too late for many.
