Parliamentary fights are common the world over in democratic countries and are a sign of a vibrant and democratic environment its called democracy in action you would know that if you didn't live a country that thinks democracy = campaigning by passing out expired rice repackaged with president's face

oh
my
gawd ! !
you really think that MPs beating themselves up in parliament is democrasy?.you think police barging into parliament and arresting MPs during an active session is democrasy?.please dont tell me you're dumb.
.
.
you claim that "democratic fighting is common in democratic countries",name one country where the parliament is a WWW wrestling tournament.is it the US,UK,france?,dont make me laugh.

when did our president distribute expired rice to people?,so giving out food stuffs to people is a bad thing?,what happened to "providing basic materials to the people"?

in another spectacular turn of event,nigerian troops are currently battling boko haram fighters in hong and gombi,hundreds of boko haram fighters have been reported killed as troops advance towards gombi.boko haram fighters reportedly captured hong and gombi after they were routed out of mubi and chibok two days ago.

sirjerry:
SA they call a fight a battle, call a battle a war.

*i laugh in greek*,they fought CAR rebels who didnt have tanks,anti tank missiles,rocket launchers,mortars,artillery,anti-aircraft guns,etc...was that even a "battle"?,10000 seleka rebels would be wiped out in a paltry few hours if they stand before 300 NA soldiers,and there wouldnt any casualty on the NA's side.boko haram fighters are more capable than the SANDF death bags that they call troops.over half of them are HIV positive just because they couldnt keep their service-rods zipped in their trousers,that shows a high level of indiscipline.

@DieeDiee,congratulations!,you succeded in writting three epistles,i'm sure apostle paul will be proud!....now let me dismantle you dêluxioñs` dù gràndûer.
(i)first of all,nigeria isnt 60 years old,it shows what you know.
(ii)i do not dispute that it is productive for the government to invest in the people{it raises HDI},but that brings us population size,example; a country earning a gross revenue of $120billion,has a population of 200million,once budget spending is removed,do you think what remains will be enough to share among citizens?,nigeria's idea of investing in citizens is to give out funds for MSMEs,funding businesses that'll provide jobs and investments,and latter increases government revenue.
(iii)did you say SA has a "stable economic and political environment"?,your economy is stagnant,and correct me if i'm wrong,but isnt it in SA;
*that the parliament is a wrestling ring?
*that police invades the parliament to drag out an opposition member?
*that MPs scream "pay back the money" at the president?.

Henry120:
Cool story for the gods.

abi oo...wetin concern me with goat pikin wen dey lick `im mama yansh?,abegi.when ECOMOG triumphed in liberia and sierra leone,the people jubilated too,they even coined a slang for nigerian soldiers: "God bless ECOMOG" and "great ECOMOG",which they made into a song.till today,if you go to cote d`ivoire,liberia or sierra leone,you will hear the people praise nigerian soldiers by singing "God bless ECOMOG".so whats that epistle about?.the SANDF didnt even fight a coherent armed militia!.

isnt it the highest point of ignorance when a person tells you that a population of over 170million is "paltry"?,*shakes head*,kids these days,i wonder what they teach them in school.

DieeDiee:
Sigh..I can see I have to pretend I'm talking to my two year old niece here.

my my,you're almost near tears,but do not fret mon Àmor,i will take it easy on ya.now let me lecture you{slowly of course}:
what i said is that the HDI of a country with a smaller population tend to higher than that of a country with a denser population.however,when a country with a big population fully develops,they tend to have a very high HDI as in the case of the USA,i never said anything about PPP,do you now understand?,no?,*sigh*,ok let me put it this was,a smaller population means:
*lesser people people to employ,in which case people easily find employment
*lesser inflation rate,as money circulates properly,price of goods and services are easily regulated,and the currency has high value
*lower poverty rate as most people are employed and earn enough
*much higher exchange rate and foreign reserve
*an even distribution of wealth and public service etc
do you at least get my drift?yeah?ok!

paniki:
My pumpkin EVarn, I never claimed that Naija doesn't have business funding initiatives but perhaps I should do so. Nigeria doesn't really have any business funding initiatives, the few that exists are merely front organisations created to embezzle funds. The average Nigerian does not benefit from those schemes.
This TETFUND that you referred seems to do what our department of higher education does. I thought it was something like our National Student Financial Aid Scheme which pays fees of actual students.
http://www.nsfas.org.za/

another scribble to be disposed into the nearest bin.you should read love,the nigerian government funds all federal universities to pay staff,renovate and replace any displaced facility etc,while the TETFUND initiative builds new academic facilities,equipp existing ones,provide necessary oppurtunities for broader social service by the school etc.i must admit though,that nigeria hasnt yet setup any scheme to sponsor youths through university.

DieeDiee:
Wheew! Its been a slow trod...But it seems we are making progress.We still not there but there seems to be something dim down the passage.
DING! DING! That is the point!!! Those things you say you provide for yourself you shouldn't have to!!! Those are called...PUBLIC GOODS... Why?...Because GOVERNMENT is meant to provide them....How does that fit into the argument?...In a strong, healthy economy government is able to provide public goods and thereby raise the standard of living of its citizens (ie HDI).

you really do love to hear yourself talk dont ya?,the guy wasnt saying the the government isnt providing anything.infact the nigerian government,especially at the state level is now providing:
*free education and books
*free health care
.
.
*free food for students
.
.
*laptops,ipads,and other computing devices for students
.
.
*free transport for civil workers and students etc.

he was just trying to say that nigerians do not depend on government for their needs

DieeDiee:
Honey pie stop the hate and name calling and learn some comprehension skills. As for South Korea I did answer you, go back I had modified my comment you probably read it before it uploaded. Baby cakes, population does not make or break HDI or GDP per capita.

yet again,you demonstrate an abysmal psyche,cant you read?.where in my post did i mention that nigeria's bigger GDP and population is what makes it the strongest economy?,infact i can remember saying that "SA's economy is the most diverse and industrialized in africa for now".so where did you read your own facts from.i didnt dispute that SA has a higher HDI and GDP per capita,i only unraveled the fact that a smaller population easily attains a higher HDI and GDP/capita,than a bigger population e.g japan,and USA.this isnt to say a densely populated country cannot have high indices too,but it is more easier for smaller countries.love,i urge you to read,lest you show your ignorance,and embarass your countrymen.

DieeDiee:
LOLEST!!! Diddydumbs?How old are you?That you would use that word is telling of your EQ and IQ.In fact,was it not you who made a comment about GDP and population? Choosing one marker out of a(non-comprehensive)....it does not make you smarter or your point stronger and neither does resorting to (childish -LOL LOL LOL)name calling.All it does is highlight your weakness,lack of logic,intelligence and equates to junior primary school behaviour.

^and what is the point of the epistle you wrote?,you can "lol" and "lolest" as much as you like,the content of your post is so empty,that even a primary school dropout will percieve you as a mentally benighted fellow.i asked you a simple question,the SK currency is lesser in value than the rand,does that mean that SA's economy is far more developed than SK's economy?.i didnt say that GDP and population make a country the biggest economy,do you have dyslexia?,what i said is that small population=higher HDI and GDP per capita.

mzilakazi:
Nigerian troops fled yet again.



http://saharareporters.com/2014/11/15/boko-haram-eyes-yola-hong-and-gombi-falls

nonsense citation.saharareporters is an APC{nigerian left-wing opposition party} sponsored propaganda "news" website.even if the troops left hong and gombi,it may have been a tactical withdrawal to frustrate the boko haram fighters into making rash decision,just like they did in mubi,and chibok.

DieeDiee:
The statement Nigeria has the biggest economy needs clarification and is premature. Nigerians that think Nigeria is comparable and even better than SA are delusional. The mere fact that the Naira has a low value speaks volumes about the state of the economy, the high corruption rate, the political instability, ministers and their families getting kidnapped are markers of a fragile and weak economy but the most telling markers are the value of the currency, the inflation rate and standard of living all of which SA beats ALL sub-sahara African countries. The statisfaction index is also quite telling, you don't see any SA people running to Nigeria or so desperate to leave SA, why? If Nigeria was really better then it would have the immigration problem not SA.

i have arrived at the tentative conclusion that you are the biggest diddydumbs on nairaland,the naira and rand has more value than south korea's 'won',does that mean that the south korean economy is poor?

ActivateKruger:
No one said you didn't have micro finance institutions, he/she was merely proving that South Africa has them since you denied their existence.

i'm not saying that SA does not have micro finances facilities,all i'm saying is that the SA government doesnt have SMSE setup for the citizens.how many saffers have government sponsored factories and businesses?

Once again,nigerian troops have recaptured chibok,this is coming after they liberated mubi,maiha,and vimtim all in the past three days.the soldiers were said to have stormed chibok in convoys of APCs and tanks,in the late hours of saturday and after a few hours of battle,they succeded in reclaiming chibok,killing hundreds of terrorist and captured caches of weapons.residents were said to have fled in fear that the troops were terrorists figheter,but they were later reassured that they were nigerian troops,"we all ran in fear that the soldiers were boko haram terrorists,but we later discovered that they were soldiers as they didnt harass us like the terrorist do,infact,they reassured us that they would liberate our homes and that we shouldnt panic" a resident said.
it is reported that attacks are been launched in gwoza,and other towns under boko haram caliphate.

*National youth empowerment initiative{NYEI}

*Nigerian skill acquisition programme

*TETFUND

*SURE-P et al...
yet these programmes arent stopping the FG from establishing the mega business empowerment schemes for SMSEs.thats how a progressive economy is run.

ActivateKruger:
That's nothing new, South Africa does that with billions of Rands.

i've never heard of such development where SA spends "billions of rands" to sponsor the businesses of its citizen,and i'm sure it barely exists.but all i know is that SA runs a conservative economy while nigeria runs a progressive economy.both have their advantages and disadvantages{much like the western capitalist system of government and the eastern socialist system},but in all sense,the progressively run economy grows more rapidly and steadily for a long time,while the conservatively run economy experiences growth for a while,but later reaches a prime and stagnates or decline!.giving out free gifts to able bodied men may reduce poverty,but it increases so many other key economic criteria.thats why nigeria is fast becoming a world economic power,and SA stagnates.

ActivateKruger:
So you think South Africa has no micro business funds set by the state, you're misinformed.

i wouldnt consider myself misinformed love,because the impact of your micro business funds is barely felt,on what scale has the SA government set up business funds for people?,because in nigeria,billions of naira goes into SMSE coffers per month both from federal and state levels,everyone from those who seek to open factories to those who seek to set up shops and small retail qiosks,have access to the fund.bank loan policies have been relaxed,existing big and medium enterprises are setting up facilities to foster the up and coming ones.thats what i call economic develepment!,imagine the effects these things will generate on the long run,in few years,the economy begins to boom even more!.tell me,can that be achieved by dashing out money to able bodied men?.

ActivateKruger:
You're not wise,are you?The fact that the government is dishing out services without charge to people who wouldn't afford them means the government has sufficient money to do so.
How does a disability grant produce laziness?You will rather want disable to people beg on the streets to survive?...
....no disable person or orphan should go hungry-that's the way of Africa's greatest economy,South Africa.

forgive me oh wise one,but i'll have to disagree with you,not about the disabled people{obviously},the disabled people needs and deserve to be taken care of.but what about the able bodied people that depend solely on the bones that are kicked at them like common dogs by the ANC government?,what productivity does that build?,what development does that foster?.the nigerian government isnt doing that,but instead they're following the progressive way of setting up SMSE funds for people,currently billions of naira is been spent to set-up SMSE funds for nigerians.

stillchris:
LWKMFH

indeed,even gen. sanni abacha who is said to be nigeria's biggest looter,didnt build an underground world,shows how cowardly the SA president is.that big-headed zuma is a big "thief" as mashabela said.

ActivateKruger:
I wont say more

of course,what more can you say?,the fact that your government gives out free-gifts does not mean that your country is economically boisterous.a farmer giving out free carrots does not mean he owns the largest or best carrot farm.SA's economy is stagnant,economic growth is stagnant,crime rate is the highest,productivity is almost the lowest,unemployment rate is very high,foreign investments is decreasing,and the labour market is weak,.what the SA government needs to do is not dashing out things,but providing structure that enables the people to enrich themselves,their government and draw in more foreign and local investors.

The dumb ANC has;
-Build hundreds of thousands of houses for the poor who would otherwise live in shacks and mud houses
-They have build more schools and clinics than any other government in Africa
-Building modern infrastructure
-Build sporting facilitates
-Hosted the Rugby World Cup
-Hosted the Cricket World Cup
-Hosted the Soccer World Cup
-Provided free tertiary education to those who couldn't afford
-Provided grants for disabled and orphans who wouldn't have means to feed themselves.What has your government done for Nigerians?

^more stories for the gods.yes your dumb ANC government provides all those things you stipulated{though i dont know how hosting world cups is necessary to this topic}.but how has it impacted on your economy over the years?,free housing and food is all well and good,but what happens during an economic depression?,SA has the worst crime rates,a fast rising unemployment rate,and a stagnant economy for all your troubles.
