I think the person to help you in this is definitely not me. I am a respecter of no terrorist group and no matter how bad the government may be, that gives no group any right to take the lives of the innocent for any silly cause they may have. Good that you are asking questions but are asking the wrong person!

Boko Haram = Terrorists

Nigeria Police Force = Terrorists

=> Boko Haram = Nigeria Police Force??!

I'm not sure if you're talking about Boko Haram or the Nigeria Police Force . When 2 terrorist groups fight, its the grass that suffers.

Kobojunkie:
Nah! Actually, you would know it is true from the fact that his own family is yet to DENY that to date. And the whole Obasanjo pilgrimage to their home helps bolster that belief.

So if the family comes out to deny it tomorrow, would you then believe? Do you think that the fact that they haven't denied it is proof of guilt? Maybe they're just keeping their heads down so that the police don't shoot them. I can think of so many reasons why they'd want to keep quiet. Put yourself in their place, if the federal government kills a few of your family members in cold blood and called them criminals, I wonder if you'd be willing to stand in front of a camera and contradict them.

Again, You and I can PRETEND to want to debate this from today till kingdom come but the fact remains that what the man did was not right to begin with. And two wrongs do not make a right. He would probably be alive today if he had not decided to IMPOSE his judgement on other human beings -- mostly innocent lives.

Like I said, all you have is the word of the police and a bunch of youtube videos showing the same police executing innocent people. Stop trying to defend the undefendable. There is  no place for extra-judicial killings in any civilized country. Everybody deserves a trial no matter what they are said to have done. Don't just accept what the authorities tell you without question. People who do that are called mugus.

I doubt it . . . again . . .because his own family has not cared to tell a different story than what we have heard of him so far. Matter of fact, even after Obasanjo's visit, the same has been even more closely linked to the group than ever.

If the family is so closely linked to BH, why did Fugu get murdered immediately after meeting OBJ? The fact is we don't know anything about the Mohammed Yusuf's side of the story thanks to our trigger happy police. Maybe he was guilty, but you can't dismiss the possibility that he was innocent because the man was denied his right to defend himself. What we know for sure is that the police are a bunch of mass-murderes, every bit the terrorists they accuse Boko Haram of being. In fact they killed more than a hundred times the number of people that Boko Haram did in 2009 alone (according to their own figures). Yet instead of talking about that, your condemning a small time bandit who was even one of their vctims.

Personally, I'd be happy to see everybody from the then Borno State Commissioner of police down tried, convicted and hung for murder. If there had been any semblance of justice in the aftermath of the massacre, the present, supercharged boko haram wouldn't exist.

~Bluetooth:
Sentiments apart,sanusi is more intelligent than most of our past and present dumb leaders.

Being more intelligent than GEJ is hardly an achievement so I don't know why you think that should factor in. Personally, I kind of liked Sanusi until he declared war on Nigeria's secularity with that his Islamic Banking nonsense. He could have easily achieved the same thing in a totally uncontroversial manner but instead decided to urinate all over the constitution and put terms like "sharia compliant" in the CBN guidelines.

Right now I'd vote for IBB before I vote for Sanusi, and I can't stand IBB.

Kobojunkie:
About the police, we can pretend to argue from today to the morrow on that but one wrong does not make a right. The Boko Haram guy did kill innocents BEFORE police decided to target him and eventually annihilated him in cold blood. So forgive me not harboring any pity for the terrorist and his family. The family of his victims deserve better but we've never, even to this point considered this.

How do you even know that is true. Was it not the mass-murdering police that told us that he was responsible? How do you know that they weren't lying? Do you think this is the first time the police have framed somebody before murdering them? Are you really going to accept the word of a bunch of murderers without question?

There is a reason why civilized countries have trials before they condemn people. There is a reason why sensible places don't allow their police to summarily execute people just because they say they are terrorists or armed robbers. So if the police come to your town, kill a couple of thousand people without trial, then tell you "they were all terrorists" you'd just accept that and go home?

A basic principle of justice is that you must always hear the other side. If Mohammed Yusuf had lived it's likely that the story we'd be hearing would be very different. His death was a very neat and convenient ending for the NPF. Survivors have a very annoying habit of spilling beans, ask the Apo Six.

Kobojunkie:
Again . . .

It is a huge shame to a country that we felt to, using federal resources, to send out a condolence party to the home of a dead terrorist who massacred hundreds of Nigerians just because he could, but we never thought the family of the victims were worth close to the same.

Mohammed Yusuf didn't "massacree hundreds of Nigerians". At most he was responsible for maybe 2 dozen deaths before the police murdered him. His father-in-law Mallam Fugu never killed anybody and was never involved in any violence. He went to see the police on his own volition as a good citizen and for that, he was murdered. The same police also murdered thousands of unarmed hausa men and boys during the same period. Of course the government should apologise.

If the next bomb blows up Jonathan, the last government's cabinet, the entire leadership of the police and Yar'Adua's corpse, it wouldn't be a tragedy, it will be justice.

A government that can kill so many people in cold blood has no right to call anybody a terrorist.

Not my type. I understand why people like her but she always has this vacant, slightly daft expression on her face. A really beautiful beautiful woman should look intelligent. Or maybe its just me.

The police don't "extort" money from people. Collecting another person's money at gunpoint is robbery, lets call a spade a spade.

The NPF is a total liability to this country. They commit far more crimes than they prevent. Hardly anybody goes to them for help anymore. If your shopkeeper steals your business's money, you can't go to them and expect justice. At best, if you bribe them, they'll torture him for a few days then release him after extorting his family. Nobody trusts the police anymore.

In 2009 alone they murdered more people in the guise of fighting Boko Haram than the combined number of people all the terrosist groups in Nigeria (MEND, BH, etc) have killed till date. And nobody is being punished despite all the youtube videos clearly showing their faces as they shot unarmed civilians. The policeman who murdered and framed the Apo 6 is out on "bail" now, a free man.

If the police were to magically cease to exist, petty crime may go up a little but Nigeria will still be far better of.

I don't know why everybody is so surprised about what happened. Boko Haram are clearly not a monolithic group. The people who are rigging sophisticated bombs have little in common with Mohammed Yusuf's original followers who thought the sun moves round the earth. Clearly some Boko Haram members are more "sharia" than others and feel that consorting with infidels like OBJ is a capital offence. Also, just because he was related to their former leaders doen't mean Mr. Fugu was a mainstream Boko Haram member, maybe they took exception to him negotiating on their behalf.

And then of course there's the fact that the he was negotiating to settle the beef between the group and the FG over the extrajudicial murder of their people. Boko Haram has nothing to gain from this since they need the widespread anger in the community over the massacre to recruit members and operate freely.

I didn't consider OBJ to be a good leader during his tenure, but after seeing the incompetent, dim-witted m0r0ns that have followed him, I have had to lower my standards drastically. His visit to Mohammed Yusuf's family was a sensible and courageous move, far better than anything the reta.rds in the federal government have done so far.

The fact is that Nigeria owes those people an apology. The present Boko Haram is a creation of the federal government. Until Yar'Adua's government sent police and soldiers to massacre thousands of innocent (until proven guilty) muslim men and  boys in cold blood, Boko Haram was just a local nuisance. If they had done the same thing in my home town, you can bet your last dollar that I'll be mixing plastic explosive in my kitchen right now.

Actions have consequences. You can't commit mass murder and expect people not to get angry and fight back which ever way they can. All those people in the UN building were killed by the federal government as far as I'm concerned. And the biggest terrorist group in Nigeria is our Nigerian Police Force not Boko Haram.

I'm not married so I can afford a zero-tolerance policy for nagging, bîtching and all other forms of annoying female behavior. Any woman who tries it with me is going to get dumped before she even finishes talking. I try to be a nice guy and treat women with respect but I don't need anybody to be stressing my life. Living in Nigeria is stressful enough already.

There's no way I'll ever marry someone who can't read my mood and keep her mouth shut when appropriate but If my future wife nags, she's going to become my future ex-wife very quickly. I might be a little more patient because we're married but the principle is still the same. Getting a divorce may be difficult here because of nosy relatives, but if the prize is life-long peace of mind, then its more than worth it.

I went to a federal school and I remember meeting some hausa setmates who couldn't even spell their own names. And this was in JS3, mind you. They must have had big-man uncles or something to get admission.

If Nigeria is to have any hope of developing technologically, the quota and "long leg" systems have to go. Northerners are not inherently st.upid. If they want to go to school, they should read their books like everybody else. Unfortunately, this type of nonsense will never stop because corrupt civil servants will always need a back door to smuggle their olodo children into better schools than they deserve.

There's now a cervical cancer vaccine available that can prevent the infection. It's best given to young girls before they become sexually active, but most women can still benefit from getting it. Also lets not forget condoms, the greatest invention since sliced bread. Use one everytime and you'll be safe from all the more serious STIs.

In case anybody's interestedin getting the vaccine, you should ask your doctor about it. I also happen to know a guy who works at GSK and can get the vaccine at wholesale prices so if you email me at lesfuq@yahoo.com I can hook you up.

Cheers.

@ Jayriginal,

There is really no point arguing with you! You quote scripture out of context saying because I refer to the bible reference that calls atheists fools that I'm in danger of going to hell. I can give you several examples of things God has said to me in the past and every one of them have happened to the letter. My point to you is that I believe in God beacuse the bible makes His existence very clear, however I have also encountered Him several times: which makes me believe that stories in the bible about men of God such as Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Joshua, Elijah, Elisha, David, Jeremiah, John the Baptist and the Apostles are true. You are entitled to your opinions: however my prayer for you is that God will make you understand what I am talking about by revealing Himself to you if you allow Him in to your life.

God is so tangible and more real than this physical world you see around you. You are free to ask me about my encounters and I would be willing to answer them. Some examples of the things God has revealed to me in the past about future occurences which have happened are as follows:

1. David Cameron would be the next Prime Minister of Britian, before the UK elections

2. Spain would win the Fifa World Cup in 2010 overcoming strong oppositions such as Germany, and Holland who beat Brazil in the Quater Finals: considered to be one of the favourites .

3. Yohan Blake would win the 100metres Gold medal in the the World Athletics Championship in Daegu, South Korea rather than Usain Bolts

4. This is one for the future: if you are Nigerian, or you know about Nigerian current affairs, you must have heard of the terrorist group; Boko Haram. God has told me that their days as an organisation are numbered. They shall cease to exist very soon, as God would fish out those who are behind the evil group and expose them. His judgement would fall upon the group and disband them.

5. God also told me a day before about the bomb blast that would happen at the UN building in Abuja. He gave me a vision of how the event unfolded a night before the day it happened

There are more encounters that are personal to me. I am willing to share them with any one who is interested.

God bless!

I believe you, brother. I've met dozen's of people who've had similar experiences. But don't worry, modern medicine has made a lot of advances in that area in recent years. There's now a drug called olanzepine for people like you. It will make the voices stop and it has much milder side-effects compared to the old-generation antipsychotics. I advise you to talk to your doctor about it. God is ready to heal you if you just take the first step.

Deleted. Double post.

Personally, I don't believe in god but I don't go around lecturing people about it. People have the right to believe whatever dumb shìt they want, there's a saying that god made stüpid people for a reason.

In any case that journalist is clearly a mörön and deserves to be sacked. I'm starting to suspect that there isn't one single competent journalist in the whole of Nigeria.

@ayox2003 I was laughing at first when I started reading your post but by the end I felt really, really sad. Nigeria's educational system has really failed you, my friend. And for that I apologise on behalf of my country.

@OP

There is so much rètardation in your post that I don't even know how to respond. Most of your questions don't make any sense. Its almost as if you learnt all your science from a creationist pamphlet.

Let me just answer the first one. First off, nobody says that humans evolved from chimps. That is called a strawman argument meaning you first twist what your opponent is saying to something else, then argue against the twisted version. What scientists believe is that humans and chimps evolved from a common ancestor. Our family tree branched about 5-6million years ago. Common chimps and bonobos are the surviving descendants of that second line while the extinct australopithecines, neanderthals and Homo habilis were from our side.

We've found plenty of bones from creatures that have features of both humans and apes from around the time the split occured. Chimpanzees are more similar to us than most people know. They can make and use tools, can learn to communicate effectively using sign language, and have even been known to drive cars. Plus 99.4% of chimp protein forming DNA is completely identical with ours, more than we share with any other creature.

Some scientists actually consider humans to be "the third chimpanzee" and have suggested merging the genuses Pan and Homo. Its never going to happen of course for political and religious reasons, but the logic behind it is sound. If we classified people according to the same standard that we did other animals, chimps would be Homo trogloides or we'd be Pan sapiens.

There are people who deliberately start these rumours just for lols. I personally know the guy who started the "Boko Haram will bomb 3rd Mainland bridge" rumour. The guy was just catching trips on his BB and was amazed how far and fast the thing spread. It even got a mention on NTA news.

Never underestimate the power of human stüpidity, and that of Nigerians especially.

Fire is hot. Water is wet. PDP rigs elections. Is anybody actually surprised by this?

If the north-east and north-west zones were countries, they would be number one and number 2 on that list. What's worse is than we haven't made made any real progress in reducing the number of deaths over the last decade. We're standing still in some areas and moving backwards in others. The only state government does more than pay lip service to healthcare is Lagos. The others just make noise on TV, arrange big public launchings (free healthcare for all pregnant women! Hooray!! See dividends of democracy!) then refuse to fund even the most basic health or sanitation programs therefore leaving ordinary people to their own devices.

I guess that's what you get when you keep voting PDP every 4 years. May god save us all.

Its good to see that so many people now oppose this senseless policy. We've finally started thinking with our brains.

I've been telling people that there's no way the GSM companies are going to deliberately block millions of paying customers' lines. If enough people refuse to register, then SIM card registration will be defeated.

Wrong section, bro. Also, it seems you're in SA. How do you plan on getting it to Nigeria if a Nairalander buys?

Hey I'm not against jailbreaking. In fact the moment a hack is available that still allows me to play new games then I'm having it. But I've spent a great part of the year waiting for the release of the likes of MW3 and will not jeopardize my chance of playing it by installing a CF. Anyway you probably have to hook me up with your library of games, if the list is impressive I will reconsider my position ASAP  - I'm yet to see any collection that makes me want a CF.

The jailbreak is 100% reversible. The only real downside is that you can't play online or log in to PSN without risking a ban. And since PSN is not available on old firmwares anyway, its not that big a deal. If you want online multiplayer, I suggest you get a second console for that and newer games while using the old one for your piracy needs. You can always sell the second one when the new jailbreaks are eventually released.

Cheers.

we don't just sit down infront of pc and posting comments.What is the way out and how are we citizens going stand up to these bastards leaders of Nigeria?
When is the revolution coming to nigeria?

We have little choice but to keep faith in democracy and wait till the next elections. We need to whip up more anti-PDP sentiment without getting distracted by tribal nonsense like we did this year. When the next elections fet here, we have to be willing to shed our blood to prevent rigging and manipulation.

If the PDP still manages to "win" despite all this then it means that peaceful change is impossible therefore violence is inevitable. Hopefully, if a revolution comes, it won't involve the military.

^Not sure what your rant is about but i repeat- sim card registration should not be optional, especially in a crime-prone country like nigeria.

If the system being operated now is a pay as you go one, then that needs to stop and they should replace it with a contract based model same as what obtains in other countries.

Pay as you go do not constitute the bulk of cell phone service elsewhere and its actually a very wasteful and expensive type of mobile phone usage.

Please explain to me how SIM card registration will reduce crime. Do you seriously think anybody's going to kidnap someone and use his own phone to call for a ransom? How hard is it to steal another person's phone or use the victim's. Anybody who's not a rètard can easily get around the regulations when he/she needs to do something illegal.

On the other hand, the government can now easily spy on "dissidents and malcontents" i.e. all non-PDP political leaders and civil rights activists. They can monitor who people like el Rufai are talking to in order to discredit them. They listen in on private cnversations. They can plan political assasinations far more easily by tracking people's locations. They can perform all manner of trickery to keep themselves in power and to keep the citizens quiet

Of course, real criminals don't have to worry any any of this because they'll all have unregistered black-market phones.The only people who have anything to lose are the law abiding citizens who'll get all of the advantages without the promised fall in crime rates or any of the other "advantages" of being spied on.te]

I assume we're referring to cell phone sim cards.

Nigeria is the only country i know of where cell phones arent registered to their owners.

I'll give you $1billion is you can name 5 countries where pay as you go sims are required to be registered. I'll give you another $1billion are fewer than 4 of them are backwards 3rd world countries where the people are too hungry to care that they are being spied on.

Even post-911 America doesn't require you to register your SIM. Only those with contracts need to give up their info for payment purposes and the government still needs a court order to access it.

It's so sad to see even intelligent, tech-savvy Nigerians like you showing such ignorance about such an important privacy issue. Your government is slowly turning into a tyrannical, USSR-style, big brother corruptocracy and you're busy cheering them on.

We need to sack/retrench/retire at least half of the federal civil service. We can recruit the same number of new policemen if people are worrying about unemployment. Most of those people serve no useful purpose other than shuffling papers around and slowing down the work of government.

Nigeria is a poor country, we really can't afford to be feeding so many parasites.

I've been telling everbody about how dangerous this SIM card registration nonsense is for months and people have been telling me that I'm paranoid or cräzy.

Despite all we know about how corrupt and useless our government is how are so many people willing to give up their names, addresses, phone numbers, pictures and fingerprints to the PDP? Sometimes, I wonder if I'm the only sane person left in this country.

Thats why I have since held off on jailbreaking my console; I want to be able to play new games when they are released and not wait for what seems to be an eternity for custom firmware. I think what the jailbreak community is doing is interesting but until they convince me that they are 5 steps ahead of Sony then I'll jump ship. Every time I talk with people selling CF and games all I see is a collection of old games (many are what I refer to as B-rated games anyway) and no possibility of playing new releases. Aren't folks looking forward to the big releases of the year like Uncharted 3, MW3 and BF3, or are they willing to wait for another year till those games are old and able to run on some CF?

Don't get me wrong, I don't regret jailbreaking, I'm just annoyed that its taking so long for newer hacks to come out. And you're wrong about the games being old. Only games released in the past 2-3 months are unplayable on JBed systems. Pretty much everything up to LA Noir is playable and that includes the vast majority of the PS3 library.

Your argument is invalid.

Rust2000:
My point exactly. PIDs or hydrosalpx can be caused by anything even soaps used to clean up or wash your underwears can cause irritation leading to so many other complications. So his advertising of condoms here, and also advise that in order to avoid this kind of problem in the future is the use of condoms is what i really don't buy. Why are people are always quick to judge women with blocked tubes? What gives evil brain the impression that with condoms, you are 100% guaranteed of freedom of STDs and other irritations? It only means he hasn't done his research very well.

You've got the wrong idea, I'm not judging you in any way. Even if you got the infection from premarital s.ex, you still haven't done anything that all of us, including myself haven't done. I'm not pretending to be a pastor or a saint. In any case, I never said that unprotected s.ex was the only way to get blocked tubes. My point is that most common cause of blocked tubes is long-standing pelvic inflammatory disease, usually from STIs. Obviously, I don't know much about your personal situation but the fact is that this problem would be far less common if all young women used condoms regularly, hence my preaching.

No offence intended please, I'm just trying to educate those who don't know.

N.B. Believe me when I say that I've done my research very well and condoms are very, very effective when used consistently. Nothing is perfect of course, but 95% is pretty dam.n close. Unfortunately, it doesn't fit into the pretentious born-again idea of "moral values" since it allows people to have s.ex without consequence so some people are determined to give it a bad name. Don't let anybody fool you though, condoms work!

I'm really disappointed that no new keys or custom firmwares have come out yet.  When I started this thread, everybody thought there was no way to re-secure the PS3 but we're now up to 3.7 and still no new hacks. Those Sony guys are better than I thought. Many are claiming that they have unexploited vulnerabilities and that they're waiting for a big update to use them but its taking too gaddem long.

Plus Its not like Sony is standing still, they just released a new version of the PS with a new metldr software that nobody knows anything about. And there are so many new games out now like Deus Ex: Human Revolution that I badly want to play. Very annoying.

If nothing happens by the time FIFA 12 comes out, I might have to buy a second system for new games and online. I'm really not looking forward to paying 15K for games again.
