Are we under dictatorship

Lara George's Facebook update,
Where are ALL our Christian leaders at a time like this in our nation's history? Why, in the middle of all the protests and the pain of the Nigerian people, is there SO MUCH SILENCE from the church

Christ-like human beings aka Christians: is this not the time to do as Jesus would have done when he faced the rulers of the day to tell them some home truths? Is there not a cause? So if the Church will not fight for justice, equity and righteousness in our land, please tell me - WHO WILL

If you sit idly by and watch this nation go to ruin when you could have risen up and together as one voice caused true change, God will hold you accountable. Enough is enough of the pretence like all is well. Our politicians are human beings- flesh and blood- they are not spirits! Why the silence? WHY?

Most of the information on this forum need to be veted before uploading. Nobody is gathering at Eagle square in Abuja. I was there to join the struggle only to find nobody. Oga ooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cowardly Nigeria!

LeoMax:
Those who protest subsidy removal are anti-economic growth !!!

You have a down syndrome and no doubt about that. Get a medical help!
Where are the money for the subsidy taken off from N20 to N65? Was is accounted for? was it not the same old story of corruption we are listening to? If you think the $8 billion would improve the economy in anyway then you are a deceiving yourself.

olyivy:
Ewu!! Why not come down here from your finland and die first!

What have you achieved in that your finland sef.

I have achieved enough to feed you for your life time. olodo! Is this about my achievement or the stupidity of Nigerians, cowardly Nigerian!

scribble:
I predict that there will be increase in crime, murder etc as a result of this fuel hike.
I do not see any real protests happening as a result of the ike. Nigerians are lazy and selfish and would rather #occupykfc #occupysilverbird #occupyshoprite #occupybrothels #occupyfemalehostels #occupyRehab #occupyautolounge #occupyNairaland #occupysaharareporters

GBAM! Well said. Coward people, suffering nation!

Thor:
In Nigeria you should think yourself lucky, the price of fuel in most other countries on the planet is already double that of Nigeria even with the increase!!!

Those of you wealthy enough to afford a car need to pay their way!

If petrol is not subsidized, what do you think they should subsidize in its place?

You are grandfather of FOOLS! how much is the minimum wage in the UK? You just come here and post like a fool you are

9ja_I_hail:
WHO THE HELL ARE U TO CALL PEOPLE COWARD? I AM SURE THIS FOOL DOES NOT BASE IN NIGERIA.DO YOU THINK YOU CAN DO PROTEST THROUGH KEYBOARD? COME OUT YOUR SELF AND START THE PROTEST WHILE OTHERS WILL JOIN YOU. YOU HIDE THERE TYPING poo WITH THE KEYBOARD

The only thing I don't like about "protests" is that many people will get injured or even lose their lives.[/b]

NNE OMA FREE COCOA YOU ARE ON POINT ADA OMA. I HAVE BEEN CRYING FOR THE LIFE OF THOSE WHO WERE BOMB ON XMAS DAY I DON'T WANT TO CRY ANYMORE

SHAME ON YOU!!!!! DO YOU THINK THERE WILL BE FREEDOM WITHOUT LOSS OF LIVES AN AVERAGE NIGERIAN IS A COWARD!  COWARD!! COWARD!!! SHAME ON NIGERIANS!

Sirniyeh:
Street protest is senseless. Going on strike for subsidy removal is meaningless. I will not advise a reasonable person to join the protest.
I expect the selfish Labour Executive to fight Federal Gov
1. to increase minimum wages to 75k per month.
2.  To ensure the fuel price is same all over the nation. If it is 135, it must be same all over.
3. To let all state Gov subsidize the transportation by supplying public with buses at affordable fare.
4. To remove taxes for now until the economy is stable.
I think this my suggestion is sensible. No to protest. In the course of protest, many may lost their lives. Who knows who?
Beleive it, there is hope for Nigeria

And you think this your advise will be implemented without a big fight from the masses or the labour. The truth is no matter what there must be a protest. for government to do anything in the country for the masses there must always be a fight and resistance. so it is not that easy my dear.

That cake looks ridiculous, all in the name of tradition. mchew!

Avoid any Nigerian girls that ask you for Black berry or brazillian hair and Mr. Biggs ice cream and meat

report them here too

I have always wondered with the way you reply to threads if your skull is made of rubber instead of bones.

slap1:
The evidence was not elaborate, so how on earth did the FA come to that decision? If it was a racist row, surely Evra must have said something, or did he keep mute while Suarez abused him? The English FA is becoming majorly irresponsible. An 8 match ban for some unclear accusation is just over the top! I hope John Terry and other English players get the same treatment for racial abuse.

English FA are not bunch of fools like Nigeria's FA. They don't convict players without evidence. There is always a chance for appeal and the 8 match ban can not take effect until the appeal is completed. I am a die hard Liverpool Fan but I do not tolerate racial comments in Sports. His Ban will Hurt Liverpool but it is good for football and sport in General. He simply called  the guy "N.I.g.g.a" and he admitted it .what other evidence do you want?

Nice work!

This is ludicrous!

The illiteracy and foolishness on display by Nigerian authorities is sickening to behold.

The United States government does NOT recognize man-lover marriage. They are not asking Nigeria or Nigerians to legalize man-lover marriage. They are only against criminalizing h'omosexuality.
Why then does EVERY government spokesman who responds come out to speak only about man-lover marriage? Why do they insist on proclaiming that the US is hell bent on institutionalizing man-lover marriage in Nigeria which is not even legalized in most areas of the US?

This is what I was trying to say in my previous thread before they tagged me as a GA.Y. LET THEM BE! He without sin let him cast the first stone. I do not like Homosexuality but do we need to start making legislative Law against them?

rhymz:
of course there are certain aspect of your social life that need control and the constitution ensures that. If you like to booze till you die and then sit behind the wheels, the government will punish you for that if caught. If you like to administer alcohol to teenagers just so you can sleep with them, the government of course will control you. There is no such thing as absolute freedom to do what you like.

These things you mentioned affect a third party. Drink and drive could lead to you killing someone and luring innocent girls is totally unacceptable. These are not what social life is all about.

rhymz:
that is not the crust of the argument. The fact is, backdoor has a very high chances to give you HIV AIDs than heterosexual sex. And I think it is dumb for anyone to argue that government has no say in social issues.

I was just saying that by the way, would u like government to control your social life?

And Talking about an.al do you know some of these guys opposing this people do have ana.l sex with there girlfriends? But then nothing is wrong with that. Is there any difference between female's ana.l and male's ana.l? 

rhymz:
@Poster
Do you know these guys have the highest infection rate of HIV and AIDs. The hom'osexual life style is an unhealthy one, the a'nus is not meant for penetration, every time a fellow man penetrates the anus of another man he increases the chances of bruising the thin wall lining in the anus which unlike that of a woman's v'agina-which is doublw walled thick- that of the a'nus isd one wall thick and can easily worn out, leaving the person easily exposed to HIV and AIDS. Is that the kind of life style we want to promote??

See, I do not support these guys. I do not like Homosexuality. I detest it. My point is leave them! They know the dangers Just like when you have sex without condoms you know what you are getting into.It's their pleasure. The damage done to their body is not government's business. Just like the damage done when u have unprotected sex is not the government business. or is it?

mobf:
Enough of this ga.y shi.t already, OP maybe u should address a press conference or lead a protest march to the NASS since you care so much rather than whine here 'cos I assure you, It's a stale n pointless topic.

You saw the topic before you jumped in or were u forced to read? Jump out please!

mykali:
@FINLAND
FAGG0TS/LEZBOS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO MARRY THEMSELVES IN NIGERIA. and that's the reason for the damn bill.

seconded! They should not. But the bills went further as to ban their gathering. That is violation of human right I think.

Rokiatu2:
Then leave it alone, afterall you are not affected, let those ones relocate to uk where they will be welcomed

That sounds like a typical Nigerian, same selfish mentality rules the majority. So, some Nigerians should leave their mother land and go abroad just because of their sexuality?
when amnesty are being given to KILLERS and Destroyers of lives and properties of Nigerian citizens. May be you should tell boko-haram to go to Iraq and Afghanistan where they will be welcomed.

Rokiatu2:
Poster why are you concerned?? Are you ga.y

Do I have to be a g*ay to speak my mind? And no, I am not!

jumboo:
All these Nigerians supporting these show of joblessness by the senators get what they deserve!

They should criminalize and sensitize Nigerians on pedophilia. The rate is sickening in this country now

Yea that is what can destroy the society, some senators are doing it so, to them nothing is really wrong with pedophilia. These are what should be met by full wrath of the law.

Flashaldrin:
op I'm 200% behind you!!! kai!! you are very much on point, everything you said.
all na sin, let him who is without sin be the first to cast the stone!!!!

Thanks!

ure not thinking properly

bekay911:
D norms of dis society doesnt welcome same sex marriage n quite oda promiscous act. Cos oda countries promote n support it dat doesnt mean we shud join d band wagon.

what do you mean by Norms? Are you saying Adultery and fornication is Normal? Just because you do it? why do people condemn what they do not do and justify what they do.

I have read many comments on nairaland justiying the enactment of the anti-g*ay Law. everybody is against them.I don't like the act also because it reduces our moral value but samething goes with Adultery and Fornication. They are under the same category "Immorality". "He without a sin let him cast the first stone" and NOT "He that is not a G*ay. . . . " I am very happy that we do not have any Law that supports Gay in this country BUT why do we have to enact Law to ban them?Is that necessary? The Law makers are there to make law that will be in the interest of the nation( to protect lives and properties) but I do not see how the law is in the interest of the nation. first of all, Adultery and Fornication have been around as long as homosexuality has.There was no legislative law that was made to combat these moral decadence just because most people do it.Homos are minorities should we now maginalised just  because they are few? They are adults and they enjoy what they do just as some of u enjoy adultery and fornication. We do not have the right to judge them in anyway. God will not spare you from Hell just because you are not a Gay so what is all these noises about?I  do not think Homosexuality is responsible for any death or loss of property in Nigeria but what about Alcohol and cancer sticks(cigarette)? Millons of lives and properties have been lost.
   What kind of "moral" legislative law do we need in Nigeria if need be? It is the law to Ban alcohol and the cancer sticks otherwise known as cigarette. These two subtances are responsible for thousands of Nigerian citizen's death on a monthly basis.Why are there no Law to combat these two killers? of course your guess is good as mine it's because government get taxes on these two and a lot of government officials and even the citizens enjoy these.Age limit was introduced in buying of these two killer subtances so, they mean you can start to die at a certain age.Homosexuality does not cause death but no age limit could be introduced. Nigerian law makers must be going insane. Let the Homosexuals be. Leave them to their destruction or pray for salvation of their souls and samething goes for adulterers and fornicators.You are not any better in the sight of God if you are not a gay but you go around sleeping with people's wives or jumping from a girl to another.The day a legislative law is being proposed to ban alcohol and fornication, I am very sure majority of you will take to the street with placards and protest(as if these things are good) just as the Nigerian gays prostested in the US. Just because everybody is doing it does not make it right.Just beacause someone is an Homo does not make him/her less human.Tell the Law makers to channel their legislative power to promote the interest of the nation ( i.e solutions to boko-haram, bad roads, power failure) and not on harmeless group of people.

Well, I think TB should be careful from now on cos he just opened an avenue for people to kill him. if stab attempt means money then a lot of people would be planning that already. Make an attempt and fall when he looks at you.Then you are 100,000 naira richer

End is near
