guyman2: It seems the gentility of Christians is being mistaken for cowardice by muslims and their demented allah!

Well, then start the crusade again, so that you can prove to moslems that you are not a coward, I am sure Jesus and his father will give you a chieftaincy title for that.

iv4fb: But the danish cartoonist apologized yet scores of dead men graced the ocassion

So you are trying to equalise their behaviour you viewed to be out of line?

[quote author=Igwe.]there is nothing like bad christians my friend but rather fake christians.
@OP, El-rufai's comment, irrespective of the intent meaning was not right, our Bible tells us to do not use the name of our God in vain, as a catholic that believes in the mystery of the holy trinity,God the father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, I took offense to that tweet so do many other faithful.[/quote]And who arrogate you the power to decide what is in vain and what isn't?

9ja voice: a clear picture of how average core-northern muslim see christians.

he did not know when he voice it out.

you cant keep secret for a long time

When did Jesus becomes the property of Southerners to defend?
The huge difference between true Christians and some pin-head Moslems I use to think, is it that Jesus is big enough, powerful enough, not only to speak for himself but to defend himself?
I have always said that the reason I believe and serve a god is because I wanted to be defended and protected by this god, but if I starts fighting in the guise of defending my god, what is the point of me serving him?

I wish that you lot should leave Jesus out of Nigerian politics of dog eat dog. If Jesus was insulted, he is in a better position and judgement to deal with El Rufai.

[quote author=prince_onx]This should be in that topic of only things found or heard in Nigeria. He had cancer last week and now it's gone! So cancer is now something you cure in a week?[/quote]With Nigerian rogue rulers, everything is possible. Cancer has become hunger, which you can just cure with few balls of eba within minutes.

On a serious note, can he tell us whose idea it was to tell the public that he was tanning himself on holiday that he wasn't sick by his foot soldiers?
If it wasn't his idea, will they be sacked now for lying to his employers (People of Enugu State)?

But trust blinds being led by blinds, they will likely declare a public holiday on the day of his return, with who is who all trooped to the airports with dance groups to welcome him. Ayo Oritsejafor and countless of our funky men of gods climbing on top of each others telling how much they prayed for his return and how their god told them in a text message that everything dey kampe.

dayokanu: History Showed us it was Ibos who always ally with Northerners

E.g Azikwe , Ekwueme, Sylvester Ugo, Ben Obi, Chuba Okadigbo, Ume Ezeoke

Don't kid yourself. During all those you mentioned, there is always an Akinloye, Ogunsanya, Akinfosile, Akintola, Tinubu sniffing around.
You can hardly call that a specified alliance. Its more or less a generalised congregation.
What is an alliance is 1967-1970 because you are serious even to shed blood and allowed your own blood to be shed to make the alliance a reality.

Eko Ile: failed leaders wasting public funds on other failed leaders. useless bunch....

He could have use the cash to get himself few new presidential toys (jets) to top up the one he already commanding or even increase his feeding budget with it in the next budget.
So you should be grateful he is wasting on the man that fought for your independent to steal from the public with guns..

Tolexander: i understand man! Nigeria is not known for any good thing except for the opposite. But does that now mean we should continue to encourage one evil just that it is fair and better than the other not taking into consideration that an evil is an evil.
Let us not use a wrong to correct a wrong cos two wrongs dont make a right!
Remember the fallacy of false dichotomy!

I am afraid, Nigeria was created and programmed not to work.
Things will continue this way until everybody answer their ancestor's name, then go home and fix, everyone his problem, with no one to blame anymore.
That why I am up for any waste now that common people some how benefit from, irrespective of how small the benefits are.

Dear Ben Obi, Igbos has many leaders, its just that Nigerians are always looking at the wrong sources for leadership.

Dede1: How could people have discussion of Biafra in an open and transparent manner when the jackass, I meant original author, could not differentiate between Ndigbo and Biafra? The aforementioned author needs to go back to school and study about Britain-Nigeria\Biafra civil war before the apparent display of stupidity.

You took the words out of my mouth.

Tolexander: both wastefulness and keeping in Swiss account are all bad anyway.
Must we always build our choice on two bad options?
There are many correct projects to be done with the national resources that will benefit the large percentage of the populace if not all.
A devil is not better than satan cos both have no good things to offer.

Since Nigeria is not known for any sort of financial prudence, then some waste must be better than other wastes .
At least all the bricklayers, carpenters, material suppliers, welders will all benefit one way or the other.
Better than swiss bank account. You get my drift?
Would you rather want a con man to take your cash or your happy spending wife to blow it on a new wardrobe? Best of the two evils.

eGuerrilla: Cynicism that has no clear basis is wrong and, coming from you, this is a big disappointment.

I would be interested in how you explain a 22 year old (7+15) passing himself off as a child no more than seven, when he encountered social services in 1998. Do bear in mind we are talking about someone with dyslexia also.

You will be surprised. Go and see that programme on TV called UK Border Agency or something like that. In one of the episode, a Nigerian who is probably in his 30s was ask his age and he said 15. Those asking him don't know whether to kill themselves with laughter or something else. I was in stitches.
Many Nigerians had come to my clinic when I was with the NHS claiming so ridiculous age, I kept asking them to tell me their real age, its for their own interest to get a better diagnosis and treatment.

obitrac: Yeye boy, I am 40 without a dime still I have nothing yet I Ðidnt kill my self because I value life

A 40 years old happy dime-less Nigerian? Wow, you are unique! You suppose to have thumped yourself,
You guys sometimes have me in tears.

ignis: Who are you to judge where one is going after death?

A dead person goes nowhere but goes back to the soil it originated from in the first place?
No be how bible talk am?
Who has died and send a message to tell the living how heaven or earth be like? Because they are in non of the two?

mrkels: He was just a troubled and somewhat unfortunate kid

Kid? If he is 21 on paper, then in real life add more 15 years-Nigerian way. 21 is not a kid's age. He is full grown man.

jaymichael: misplaced priorities, waste of valuable resources.

How can it be wasteful? Is it not better than keeping it in a Swiss private bank account?
Finally, they are taking care of their leader's memory.

Malawian: can you explain yourself? i seem to be slow tonight.

Ok. Come back and read it again, when you're in sharp mode.

Malawian: eziachi and wadeoye should get a room! like i said, no need for long stories. igbos dont really care about the presidency, we care more about someone who will not stand in our way of progress. yoruba and hausa fulani can do nothing but stand in our way. was it not obasanjo that rather than name anambra an oil producing state, openned his gworo mouth to declare the oil "as part of the nation's strategic reserve"? did he put a penny of fg money to prospect for it? how much have they spent looking for oil in the north? was it not obasanjo that nearly ran ibeto out of business? ran orji kalus airline out of nigeria, ran nwobodos bank out of existence, the list is on and on. we will not allow such to happen again. power will rotate between the SS, SE, MB till further notice. we have the spread and population to see to that. you annoying yaribas that will rather have the fulani retain power if it is not comming to you guys can go suck on an abunnam. make una no vex me for here o. heeemmm

Get the room and I will pay for it.

Wadeoye: Quite unfortunate. Anyway, I always read your posts with respect and abjectivity even where it doesnt align with my thought.

We can't agree all the time because we are no robot, that why we are human, I do respect your thought too, even when we don't agree.

birdman: I agree we should wait till the end of his term to judge. Question is, why wont Ohanaeze wait? They have already declared that regardless of how he performs, they will be voting for him again. If anything, it is Ohaneze that is tribalistic for non-questioning support

When has Ohaneze=Igbo nation?

Demdem: Exactly. SW won't vote retardeen, even Pdp SW won't. NC is even tired of his failures. Igbos will still vote the retardeen even if he is much more useless than this. There is nothing anyone can do about that.

Can you blame them voting for him again? They are learning from you. Its just the same way you voted OBJ in 2003 even though you hated him more than dog shi*t and even sacrificed AD in the process.

birdman: You forget the goodwill Jonathan lost in the SW. He is not getting SW vote this time - his best hope is to split that vote by scuttling a CPC-ACN merger.

So you are now admitting that you too contributed making him the president in the first place? I thought you guys said it was Igbos Saddam Hussein kind of 99% vote win that clinched it for him alone?

berem: all i pray for is a competent leader no matter your ethnicity or religion.

Very nice to hear.
Just that me and you knew that in reality we both has more chance of travelling to the moon than that happening with Nigeria.

Ngwakwe: No Laws were made and no decrees issued as on price reductions on daily needs like milk, tomatoes, bread, sugar etc. The military men working under Gen. Buhari's command were abusing economic power and behaving foolishly.

If he becomes president, he will take laws into his hands and abuse the constitution as he is not nurtured to be a democrat.

Buhari is a confirmed Coup Plotter and should be tried as a Democracy Saboteur

Which of the coups did he plot? Serving in a military govt doesn't make one a coup plotter. You should be wise enough to know the varying difference.

Dear Mr Okupe, when has insecurity not being political anywhere, especially in a democracy?
These clowns make me quibble at times, seriously.

Wadeoye: Sir, you are an uncommon igbo and I respect you for that. However, the majority of your people are just too boring uninspiring human beings. They are not dynamic thinkers and one wonders what could be the problem of a people who have produced so many professors in the academics and other people who have at least travelled out of nigeria. I have not seen any difference between an igbo man in ladipo market and the so called educated igbos.

You have a lot of work to do to change the orientation of your people. Unfortunately I dont see how this can be achieved.

Many of them equally thinks that you are neither a thinker nor dynamic just as you think of them.
Thats the way Nigeria works.
And by the way, the Sir is very unnecessary, I knew you mean well.

Malawian: power is in the east!!! no amount of blackmail will change that even after the next election. didnt you yorubas just exit the presidency? una longer throat no let una relax small abi? see as you guys are hounding jonathan -an ijaw, whis tribe feeds all of you. so if it wasnt for igbo people, you people in the west will never let the owners of the oil control it abi? una jona rants na for una-una. we know we-we and dem-dem.

Power in the East, so the whole East is now the new heralded Dubai and all Easterners now Sultan of Brunei.
Hurray!

berem: of course he is not coming back to Aso Rock! majority of Nigerians have now realised that they wasted their votes.This time around,igbos will not vote for him because he is Ebele or Azikiwe.We shall vote for any credible leader who will take us to the promise land.

Is it as long as the credibility is directly linked to your village?

Wadeoye: Igbos, a major player? These guys like feeling important even when it is glaring they can only do follow follow.

Will no players make your evening then?

babyosisi: Ekiti to become a land flowing with milk and honey

Osun to pluck Euros and dollars from cocoa trees

sokoto to become a center of excellence

Kano to become a province of Canada

Ebonyi to use airplanes as kabukabu

Lagos to turn lagoon water into five alive

Name it and claim it gospel

Whosai
Anybody can claim whatever they wish ,seeing is believing

I love Nigerians

Afam4eva: That's why i said they should let him leave office first because it will be ironic for a group to be fighting itself.

Exactly my point! You get the real gist.
Nigerians can be very myopic with issues.

0lumide: How can we now prob Jonathan for coming on live TV to say MEND didn't do it even though they did?

Did all the Niger Delta violence make people saying "Buhari is a terrorist" not vote for Jonatha?

Why isn't Jonathan seen as a terrorist? Jonathan came openly to defend terrorists. Buhari never did anything of such.


We have put a secessionist in power. That is our problem. We have put a man who has no deep passion for Nigeria's success.

JONATHAN MUST GO!!!!

Don't talk daft! Jonathan is Nigeria and Nigeria is Jonathan. Without Nigeria who the heck is Jonathan?
How can he not have no passion for himself?
