bashr8: why cant the fulanis buy lands for grazing afterall they make billions from sales of cows and nigerians buy them its not as if we get them for free, its buisness and not an act of patriotism. live stock farmers dont go about asking govt to give them land around the country for poutry or fish farming so why cow.

You are talking as if the goverment does not assist others in making it easier for them to do their business. If the govt. can designate industrial layouts and free trade zones and provide them with infrasfracture like roads, electricity and water why is it difficult to designate some land as grazing reserves to preserve our food security?

homerac7: that Saleh Momale is sick in d head or just fooolish. he concocted up lies and misapplied facts. so who is responsible for the Fulanis low literacy? and Isnt Usman Nafada, d immediate past deputy speaker of NA, a Fulani from Nafada LGA of Gombe State? ...so y d lie dt their kins have never come near elective positions? what abt Gen. M'hd Buhari....isnt he of Fulani stock? Yar' adua?...is he now a Yoruba or Igbo? what abt so much money dt has gone down drain under MAMSER, SAP, and many other special programmes targeted at educating d nomadic Fulani?

I dont stand for subjugation of any tribe, but i believe that demands should be reasonable and sustainable.

d guy should tell his people to wake up to reality of d modern society and adjust, not d society adjusting for them.

Sale Momale is talking about the nomadic Fulani not the town or settled Fulani like those you mentioned.

musKeeto: Stopped after

The first people that robbed them was their English teachers, smh..

For using 'was' and 'teachers' I think you too was robbed by your English language teachers.

Segun Adeniyi gives the President an advice which if he follow will make him the greatest Nigerian President but the man does not seem to care about that. All he seems to care about is corruption and incompetence and not to be critisised about it. The president gives me the impression of man who is overwhelmed by a task given to him which is too big for him.

[quote author=ekt_bear]So I forgot Kanuri too.

In my opinion, this is what population in Nigeria looks like:

1/2/3. Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa-Fulani in some ordering
4. Akwa Ibom/CR groups
5. Edoids if you consider them one group
6. Tiv
7. Kanuri
8/9. Igala/Nupe
10. Ijoid groups?

Something roughly like this, I suppose?

Basically even if you consider Akwa Ibom/X-river folks as all distinct ethnicities, Edoids all as distinct ethnicities, clearly Tiv, Kanuri, Igala and Nupe are legitimate significant population groups, each more numerous than Ijaw.[/quote]Hausa and Fulani are two distinct ethnic groups and each of them can be counted among the top four in terms of population in Nigeria.

Did the OP reseach to find out if the combine non minerals exports of sub saharan Africa is bigger than that of Finland?

They annoy me a lot but not more than the tribal and religious bigots who make it almost impossible to partake in a debate without being insulted.

bilms: Why must Buhari be the president for Nigeria to be good? i post this to follow up my previous post and conviction about my position. I posted a topic some weeks ago about how disappointed i was that Buhari under CPC declared he would not be going to court but did after loosing the election and i was attached for it. Now after declaring that he would not be contest after 2011 came back to say he would contest 2015. I argued then that if Buhari was to be sincere in his proclamation about not going to court after loosing, he would have declared his retirement from partisan politics after loosing and even if cpc went ahead to court, no one would ask him about it. But he didn't which shows he his not sincere in his submission. Now he will continue to contest until Nigerians enjoy the dividend of democracy. why must he be the one after 70 years of age? Is their is no other person he can support? when shall the youth grow? when IBB said Nigerian youths are not ripe, we all condemned him, but Buhari's action confirms that. Why can't they raise a youth and support him? why must he, I rest. AOH

Buhari has every right to decide not to go to court or go to court and also has the right to contest or contest. If you see this as a sign of insensirety why don't you ask the same question to GEJ who was in attendance at a PDP meeting were it was decided that the North shall produce president in 2007 and 2011? Did GEJ not promised that he was going to contest in 2011 only and give others the chance to contest?
This thing has nothing to do with age but honesty and competence. If you have any reason which you think disqualifies state it.

Is there no rule against insulting tribes and religions of others? Some of the comments go as far as advocating genocide against some ethnic groups and adherents of other religions. As I am new on NL are this type of comments acceptable or they are not acceptable but there is nothing that can be done to stop them?

DELTA BOY: see why we want state police. Boko Haram members in the police telling Massob not to hoist Biafra flag in Biafra land. hmmm

Ambrose Aibsaibo Boko Haram? I won't be surprised again if people label El rufai, Buhari or Babangida Boko Haram because it seems anyone you do not agree with is Boko haram.

Ijeoma Obasi: I personally feel that if only power can be addressed before the year runs out,better days lies ahead.

It is unfortunate that Nigerians expectation of their leaders has fallen so low that they view an achievement in a single sector as satisfactory.

pembisco: Dis shows hw our leaders do nt hv our interest at hrt...i resyd in yola nd belv me it ws aleged dt d govno(nyako) agreed to dis,dt cameroun dam release its waters due a crack noticed on it(d dam) at d detremnt of nigrians lives nd properties. The state gvnment did nt evn gv a warnin or mek any altenative 2 pple livin close to d water way especially to those in d state capital...evn now as a type,thers natin d gvment is doin abt dis nd d water keep incresin nd causin mo damages,pple ryt now watch helplesli as dis water swallow their houses! So dis hrtnin..by d way,d numba death pple reported here is far less dan d actually numba

This has been going on since Cameroon built The Lagdo dam and it has nothing to do with the Govt. Every year around this time the authorities in Cameroon releases water from the dam however the volume of water they release depends on the rainfall. Ask those who live along the banks of the river Benue they would tell that this is a pernial problem.

Arcard: i wana knw if 5n,10n and 20n go comot from naija

Definately dem go comot from Naija just like the other coins and whatver you want to buy starts from 50 Naira.

You are not a serious smoker.

Saint paris: If you don't want your religion to be criticized, tell your boko haram brothers to stop bombing churches and Quoting Quranic verses to justify their actions.. Do you all read from the same book?

Who told you that your criticism makes any difference?

I've read read the post regarding the behaviour of the Consular General and felt that he acted wrongly if the narration was true. But having read this, one thing is clear the CG has sent a representative to the event and the event was a church service whether held in a church or not and his excuse of not knowing what to do is tenable. People should please stop using tragedies like this to fight their enemies.

How do I de-activate my account or is there no provision for that?

Pls enlighten me on the following:
1. Is it allowed to post outright lies and offensive comments against a particular religion or tribe?
2. Is it allowed to post comments which are deliberately designed to promote hatred against a particular relgion or tribe.
3. If such post are not acceptable how do I report them.
4. How does one de-register oneself.

10 over 10: Islamist would soon start worldwide killing of non- Islam people..watch out for World war III..

They didn't start world I and II why should they start world war III?

Emosewa: When I check ma result the reply Щѧѕ result not available for this candidate,pls wht ​​A̶̲̥̅‎​♏ I going to do next.Any help pls

Sometimes the results of candidates sponsored by state govts are not released until they settle WAEC fully for the candidates they sponsor. This may probably be reason if you are sponsored by your state govt.

Ohislee: Being disqualified is definitly not something new, it happens all time. Even almight usain bolt was dequalified for false start during world athletics championship. Several athletes too has been disqualified, during this olympic. So!!!

Naija is simply unlucky period. B

You make your luck. Why shall goodluck be so scarce with Nigeria when you have Goodluck as president?

kunlekunle: she did not need the job

Thats exactly my taught.

Don't be too optimistic. The worst that can happeb to Faruk Lawal is to be arraigned before a court, then be given a bail and eventually the case will die.

[quote author=paleo]Yes brother.you are right. Truth be told, one buys both e-checker with the registration fee but more often than not, School authorities refuse to give their candidates the e-result checker and besides, most students (secondary school students of may/june not G.C.E of Nov/dec) are not aware of this.in some other cases,these candidates are nonchalant and even when given,they either misplace it,give it out or rather sell it.I dont know why thou but, for some reasons known to some of those aware,they dont like holding or having the result checker with them.
You are right.

Super1759: every reasonable responsible intelligent nigerian knows that elrufai and his cohorts are behind this. The writing is on the wall, even ma aged grand ma knows it.

Then why the the President and commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria cannot do his job with information which is so common that even your granny knows?

paleo: Please for the sake of genuine and transparent business and solely because we dont want to be labelled scam. I have only included delta state because this is the state we basically have our office and market base. However,interested patronisers outside the state can call the above numbers and details on how to go about the supplies will be provided..you can also mail me for further help and enquiries. alongsideleo@yahoo.com thanks.

Why does one has to buy WAEC exam checker when one is already made to pay for one and is given the scratct card by WAEC?
My advice to candicates is that they should insist their schools give them the card because they have already paid for the scracht card in the registration money and WAEC issues the cards to schools at the point of registration.

Super1759: So this arabian goatie mallam is still talking..can elrufai swear that he dosent know anything about BH. So bad!!

and you swear that El-rufai has anything to do with BH.

Zutchy: Your a bloody fool for typing Wat you just did,I mean where dd that come from,are you this dumb,hw can you be judging competence in mid 2012,one year into his (GEJ) tenure,he still has three years to go,like duhhh,"elections are 2015"or did you forget,dont you dare try to talk about competence here because in one year he has managed to do more than your northern leaders put together have managed to do for us since they started ruling us,don't you even begin to think it.

Pls why can't you put your views without resorting to insults? To me two years is enough to judge the competence of my President. The point I am making is that those individuals speak in their individual capacity why is it made as if they are speaking for the north but when others in the south speak it is not ascribe to the whole south?

So when every Ahmed, Musa, Lawal or Turaki talk it is the whole north talking but when a Tunde, Tom or Apreye is talking he is talking for himself. No where was it stated that Mr Ahmed Joda talking on behalf of the north but the writer of the story decided to make it appear to be so and the guilible ones already blinded by bigotry cannot see it. Mr Joda's call borders on the competence of the President to lead the nation.
I think he made his call based on the fact that any attempt by the President to contest in 2015 will be anchored at exploiting sentiments but not on competence.

[quote author=Tusky44]I would have celebrated it but once i read the line where it suggests this is part of the "transformation agenda", i sigh and move ahead. Cheap posturing, useless online news without picture. Make una enjoy the amebo.[/quote
He even said that the project started few years back as part of transformation agenda of the President while the so-called transformation agenda started last year when GEJ was elected and sworn in.

Emmy Boy: quote author=ganye1]I suspect that the church might have planned this in order to have the road they are agitating to be closed closed.. Oga wetin u mean sef? Haba!

sorry if I offend you but it is just a possibilty which I pointed out to make all those accusing Muslins of planting the know how irrational they are.
