PoliticsRe: Fulani Cattle Breeders List Condition For Peace In Southern Kaduna by Exciton(m): 8:53am On Jan 02, 2017
texazzpete:
No. my post plainly implies what currently happens. Please do not waste our time with 'potential'. There are currently no plans from any southern group or state to start modern cattle ranching.
There is nothing in my post that implies that only fulanis can rear cattle in NIGERIA.

Bottom line is, most of our beef comes from this destructive practice. If we had an ounce of conviction at all, we would boycott beef. That would decisively force the Miyeti guys to chance their ways.

But as always , we lack the balls to see things through, and we are ruled by our greed.
Boycotting their beef won't stop them from grazing in southern lands. In fact, they'll only have more cows to care for... meaning more chances for conflict.

However, I do agree that we are cowards and are greedy; otherwise, this won't be an issue in the first place.

This group exists because you people love your beef. Majority of the beef you eat is reared in this fashion.

It is extremely hypocritical to have this stance yet still munch on beef Suya. It's exactly the same as criticizing violence in Sierra Leone and still buying up tons of Blood Diamonds.
Lol. Your statement implies Fulani are the only ones capable of rearing cows.

This inefficiently run business of theirs wouldn't survive modern day competition. Nothing stops southern state governments to go into pig, cow, poultry etc farming on a large scale.

The only reason these fuckers are in business is because southerners are foolish people who would rather fight each other than come together and work towards a sustainable knowledge based society.

I don't understand why the entire Miyetti Allah group hasn't faced firing squad by now. A group that threatened an entire State.

And most people here are actually supporting them for reconciliation after killing 800+ people in one location. Foolish people.

Why couldn't the fulani fuckers press charges when they felt wronged or cheated? Normal people don't go on a rampage and kill thousands of women and children.

The fulani herdsmen, Miyetti Allah and any of their sympathizers are all fucking bastards!

Samcoflex75:
GOD is sovereign, he does what he likes, even in the bible when God asked Isaiah to tell the king that he would die, and the king cried to God, the same God asked Isaiah to go back to the king to tell him he has added another 15yrs to his age, if it were to be us, we would say the prophet is a fake one that the prophecy didnt come to pass, prophecies are bound to change, God is sovereign does what he wants to do, he is not accountable to anybody
Faulty logic. If he can do what he likes, how then can he be described as being good?

By what standards is his "goodness" defined if there isn't a standard for your Almighty?

Don't bother replying. It's only meant to make you think critically. I'm not interested in religious arguments.

Ibadan Enugu and Abuja tops my list. Kaduna should be there but they've got a bigoted governor.

EducationRe: Provost Of Health Sciences Oau Gives Reasons Why Mrs Aror Wasnt Admitted by Exciton(m): 2:27am On Dec 23, 2016
Unity19:
I am sure you are not in this country. you most be residing in USA if not you will know the new rules of admission.

First, I graduated from OAU also and everything you just typed here are totally true and fact. However times have changed with the new admission process.

Furthermore, that does not mean she can't be granted admission but the two of us know that the lists you are talking about are for those who are connected and not for anyone. from all I see, this lady did not bother to meet with anyone or better say she did not know anyone who can help her walk her way into the lists you speak of.

Also be mindful of the fact that medical association gives quotas of number of candidates that can be admitted for medical courses and theses courses are highly competitive with so many brilliant candidates competing for it.

This lady must learn how to at least try her luck by discussion with one or two person(s) in the department or faculty to see if they could help her. I tried it and it worked for me.

if you go through the provost's comment again, you would find out that she might be willing to help had it been she was approached about the case or if it was brought to her notice.
320, 4As and no admission, and some fucker up north will probably enter with less than half her score.

This is the problem with the goddamn nation. You shouldn't have to talk with anyone. Everything should be based on merit and there shouldn't be another list for the so-called "Educationally Less Developed States".

After billions of Naira over the years, those northern elite bastards refuse to develop the level of education in their respective states. Their children only require a measly score to get in and fast forward 15-20 years, they occupy all the important positions in the country while the southern kid that got good grades will still be searching for a job.

Southerners are big f00ls! They live in a society where their children have to put in twice as much effort to compete with a northerner that knows fvck all!

ianSweet:
Pidgin can displace Yoruba and Igbo as lingua franca in the south but it cannot displace Hausa, because hausa is a much stronger language which has more speakers.

Yoruba and Igbo are spoken only by the natives of the language in one geo-political zone each, but hausa is used as a lingua franca even among hausas and non hausas in the north.
You're saying horseshit. No one cares that Hausa is a popular language.

None of our local languages have a large and complex vocabulary because we never developed whatever scientific inclinations we might have.

It's simply the truth that Hausa (or Igbo or Yoruba) CANNOT be used to teach science in an effective manner.

Simple proof: state Boyle's law in Hausa language. Or try to label parts of a microorganism in Hausa. And that's just basic stuff.

Neither are there journals or encyclopedias nor is there a large source of knowledge translated into Hausa. This means that those who only understand Hausa aren't privy to knowledge that every other person has access to.

This is EXACTLY why there's a lot of suffering in Africa. Illiteracy and a lack of reading+exploring culture. If the people were knowledgeable, they won't standby and watch the elite rape their future and that of their unborn generation.

Everything isn't about politics and tribalism. We aren't going to develop as a nation if we intend on raising potential liabilities by hiding a great wealth of knowledge from them just because of a stupid choice of language of instruction.
EducationRe: Students Sitting Down To Learn In Kebbi State (Photos) by Exciton(m): 5:49am On Dec 20, 2016
Most of the comments show that there's no hope for the nation.

Instead of talking about ways all Nigerian children can have equal access to quality education, the foolish "future leaders" have managed to turn it into a tribal issue.

I can't believe some idiöts think one must learn Hausa to teach their children. Hausa, like any other primitive local language, simply doesn't have the vocabulary for STEM education.

Corruption is the singular reason why we have little increase in total electricity generation after tens of billions of dollars invested over the years. It's not explicitly the fault of the people.

mmsen:
I agree with much of what you have to say apart from the materialism which isn't unique to any one society.

My question for Africans is why the intelligent Africans have allowed the foolish (men like Buhari) to run their nations into the ground?

Why is there so much cowardice when it comes to confronting those who keep causing the problems that we can all see?

Why other associations have not been created to seize control of their nation's destinies - sideline the numerous religious charlatans. useless traditional rulers and the elders who provide nothing besides outdated ideas?
1. Like a doctor's diagnosis (which is a good analogy IMO), materialism is just one symptom that points to several possible causes. Everything has to be considered to reach a conclusion.

2. A response to your other questions:

Me sef no know o! You'll see people saying that they'll kick out the incompetent fuckers out in 2019. Why wait till 2019? Why don't we demand that the morrafuckers resign now?

But honestly, I think these so-called few intelligent Africans are too few. I don't think we have enough to make a strong party. Also, they can't do it on their own, they need the support of the people. But unfortunately, the people are uneducated. They'll vote for an idiot for N2,500.

I think a certain threshold of enlightenment and awareness is required to spark a revolution of any kind - cultural or political. We have no chance of real change until the masses understand the basics of logic, political ideologies, knowing their rights and civic duties, realizing that what we call Nigerian politics isn't politics etc.

Also, I think the cowardice and reluctance is tied to the basic everyday survival I talked about. Respecting the elderly and powerful, carrying out their orders without questions, suppressing your individualism etc is a key part of our culture. It is required to be successful in our current society. It's very hard to break free from that line of reasoning.

oduastates:
This is failure of governance and government on many levels .

1 Nigerians have so much unproductive time available that they can go to church all the time . That unproductive time is provided for them by a combination of their politicians, civil servants, religious leaders and "business elites ".
If Monday to Friday was anything like more productive countries , I am sure that most people would be at home with their families sleeping off the tiredness from all the exertion of the working week .

2 Pastors, Imams and all these "born against " churches are taking advantage of people's misery and the government is doing nothing about the fraud being perpetrated.

3 A substantial chunk of resources which should be going to states and local governments ( resources required to build schools,hospitals ,roads etc ) is being diverted to meaningless and unproductive religious activities.

4 Lack of governance means that every quack is an engineer . A bricklayer becomes an architect , an architect becomes the surveyors,a surveyor becomes the plumber and the plumber becomes the civil engineer. It is the same with every sphere of Nigerian life. Pharmacists becomes a doctor and a quack becomes a pharmacist.

5 Lack of governance means that state and local governments departments are staffed by dunderheads.
Those who are supposed to regulate , administer and enforce building codes ( if at all they exist ) are not professionally qualified to do so ,are not equipped to do so, are too lazy ,corrupt or simply do not exist .

Nigeria is not a nation . Nigeria is the wreckage of a failed experiment. While other countries are constantly striving for the future , It is death, death, death, misery, misery , misery ,blood, blood ,blood all the way everyday of the week.


THE PICTURE BELOW IS TYPICAL OF WHAT IS HAPPENING TO MILLIONS OF AFRICAN YOUTHS EVERY YEAR . THESE PEOPLE DIED OF ASPHYXIATION WHILE TRYING TO CROSS THE MEDITERRANEAN ON THEIR WAY TO EUROPE( MANY NIGERIANS AMONGST THEM)

No amount of prayer will solve a problem like this .
No one could have said it better.

Not a single fucking day goes by without a "graphic pics" post on nairaland. Bodies torn, limbs mangled, adults, children, babies. Yet, these hapless idiots won't stop to ask themselves deep questions like: "why did this happen?", "what can we do to prevent this?", and "why do we keep living and dying like common animals in some jungle?"

They'll only make stupid, unnecessary religious/spiritual remarks like: God knows best, God will judge, karma, thunder is doing press-up etc or they make it political, or tribal.

My hypothesis is that the society, her politics, her poor governance and every other thing that follows are like this because our society is built on two ideals: money and basic everyday survival.

Our mindset is locked to some sort of "I must survive and make it quick" mode of thought and existence. It's the reason why we have rich politicians, thieves, pastors etc as role models. It explains why we have a soft spot for the promises of religion and the supernatural. It explains why we are a materialistic society. It's the reason why the common man isn't curious about his environment, why we don't stop to think about the plants and animals and art and poetry to see beauty in the universe, why we don't invest time to understand the world around us, why we aren't scientific, why we don't explore, why we don't build, invent or create. We want it quick, so we hustle, make some cash and import products we have no idea how to make!

We Africans will keep living short brutish lives until good education awakens us to the reality of our pitiful existence and forces us to re-build our society from scratch by creating new ideals (like dignity in hard work, be curious and explore the world around you, always ask questions etc) that the people in a healthy society should aspire to attain.

People in advanced countries aren't intrinsically better than us. It's just our ideals and way of thinking that's holding us down!

Lol. Don't get upset with me. Direct your anger at the politicians and thieves that use hundreds of millions to clear grass, drill borehole, maintain websites, etc. Direct your anger at fraudulent Professors who don't know shit or have any equipment but manage to miraculously publish tens of experimental papers every year.

Knowledge and skill without the equipment is useless in this case, your eyes can't identify micron and sub-micron sized stuff. Sure, you can build a simple UV-Vis or even Raman (if you've got the cash and MORE equipment to build with) but it won't be calibrated and accurate enough for studies related to something as important as the health of people. You have to BUY the equipment.

But this is PH. Those almighty oil companies (or that petroleum Uni) might have some useful equipment in their QA department.

Lol. So of what advantage is the housing scheme if we have a society with most families crammed into 1 bedroom houses?

I never said it was a bad deal. My analysis only infers that such a housing scheme needs to be coupled with creation of good job opportunity for the masses.

The honest truth is that, no matter the good intentions of such schemes, we will never have a comfortable society until we create true value by job creation across all sectors of industry.

The citizens will always be too poor to afford the simple things of life.

You intentionally ignored the 1.5m and caused people to erroneously follow you down the dark path of 25m-scam-not-affordable...
Actually, the typical price that will be in high demand will be closer to N25 mil than N1.5 mil.

You want a home which involves entering gbese spread over 10 years. No right thinking person wants a 1 room apartment to raise a family in some shitty location that you'll be tied to for 10 years.

The right thinking person will go for a 3 bedroom apartment in a nice location since (s)he might raise a family there for up to or more than 10 years.

However, it's a good deal that will involve monthly payments up to 21k N210k over 10 years (interests not included).

The only problem is that we live in a society with no jobs or poor job security.
