PoliticsRe: Why There Are Doubts That A REAL Chibok Girl Was Found - Cramjones by GeneralShepherd(m): 5:45pm On May 20, 2016
TheGoodJoe:

The Hausas in the educationally challenged regions have been coping and they will continue to cope. They have their means to test the understanding of the principles being thought.

Just as a Chinese man who can not speak English can understand physics principles or a German who can not speak or write in English can understand Chemical laws and theories.

So is your problem the educational challenges some Northern communities face or is your problem the fact that a girl kidnapped, tortured and raped is found?

Thank God Amina Ali is alive and found.

#WelcomeBackAmina
Is the Chinese man tested in English? No he is tested in the language he was tutored in.

If the girl was tutored in Hausa, then she must be tested in Hausa. Since there is no Hausa version of WAEC, then she did not enroll for the said exam and therefore cannot be one of the missing chibok girls.

Simple logic

Tell us these words in HAUSA since physics and chemistry can be taught without english in the north and can be taught in hausa language.Now gird yourself well and answer us the hausa word for :

1. Alkanes

2. Propylene glycol

3. Density

4. Achimedes Principle

5. Electrical inductance

6. Catalytic breakdown

7. Photon

8. Use hausa to teach us chain reaction in Nuclear reaction

9. Half Reaction

Archimedes Principle in Hausa is Akimedis Frincifle

longayink:
You don't understand.
How much did the Buharis and other military generals steal from Nigeria, and they walk free in Nigeria? If you want to fight corruption, you must be clean and be able to tackle every body accused of corruption in the immediate past.
I am not a Buhari fan but it is simply unrealistic and probably impossible to prosecute every corrupt politician in Nigeria. The government does not have the resources to embark on such a white elephant project.
PoliticsRe: Metuh Seeks Permision For Five-week Medical Trip To UK by GeneralShepherd(m): 8:02pm On May 19, 2016
Thunder fire our politicians. After destroying our health sector, they conveniently fly abroad to get treatment while leaving us to bear the brunt of their failure.

PoliticsRe: Block Sale Of Warplanes To Nigeria - New York Times Tells Obama by GeneralShepherd(m):
America has allegedly refused selling fighter jets to Nigeria, sighting human rights violations as the reason for the refusal. Nigerians in their usual defensive attitude are deflecting all the blame from our Military and unduly attacking the USA (verbally at least).

Some claim that America simply dislikes Nigeria because of our anti gay stance, others have gone to the extreme to claim America wants to see Nigeria - the potential threat to America's Hegemony in Africa - disintegrate.

Everytime America endorses Nigeria we all rejoice but we never ever learn from their criticisms. Be it when they criticised us for sentencing adults to 14 years in jail for their sexual orientation, to when they asked Abacha to release Ken Sarowiwa. America to many Nigerians is an obnoxious, morally bankrupt country that cannot criticise infallible Nigeria.

However, there is need to ask one critical question. Is the Nigeria Army really culpable of human right abuses? The obvious answer is Yes, and unless we wish to continue lying to ourself, we must accept this fact. Denying it will not only endorse such behaviours as acceptable but also reinforce it amongst our security agencies.

For example, a few weeks ago Nigerian soldiers physical manhandled a lawyer in Festac for asking them (politely) to move their truck allow Road users free movement . I am also sure that every Nigerian that has lived in Nigeria for at least 5 years, can narrate at least one account of human right abuses and excessive use of force by the Nigerian Army and the police.

Abuse of power by state security agencies is a form of corruption. Like our dear president said, If we don't kill all forms of corruption, it will kill us

By the way, there's some foprm of renovation/upgrade going on after/before oshodi. Cappa to be precise. Does anyone know what that place is to be used for? It looks like a bus terminal but I find police cars stationed there most times.
Did you just refer to Ambode as a tout? A graduate of Cranfield Business School, a tout? One of the top business in the world.

PoliticsRe: How We Uncovered Saraki’s N375m London Property – Witness by GeneralShepherd(m): 8:33am On May 19, 2016
For now, I am not concerned that Tinubu, Amaechi and other politicians loyal to Buhari are not being prosecuted.


All I want now is to see Saraki in jail! What sort of human being is Saraki? Why couldn't he transform Kwara state into a modern worldclass state?

Bad roads were a common sight during his tenure as a governor. Security of lives and properties was conspicuously absent as well. Yet he had the temerity to use public funds to acquire properties in England!

Chineke gbokwa ya oku! Ekwensu mpi ogologo! I am so angry right now
PoliticsRe: Light Up Lagos Project - 600km Of Roads And 366 Locations Completed by GeneralShepherd(m): 8:19am On May 19, 2016
I dey believe Ambode die. My sister that lives in Aboru -an area that was completely overlooked by Fashola, showed me pictures of her vicinity and I was taken aback.

If Buhari can replicate at least 5% of what Ambode is doing in Lagos at the national level, I will gladly become an ardent follower.

Anyway, I'm not really surprised, this is because Ambode studied at Cranfield University and our alumni is made up of brilliant minds.

Cranfield Graduates are in a class of their own!! Great Minds

PoliticsRe: Femi-Fani Kayode Still Detained By EFCC: Silencing Of Opposition - Aide by GeneralShepherd(m): 10:23pm On May 17, 2016
As expected, the EFCC under this dispensation denies accused persons bail against international and national laws.

It is important to reiterate that I want corrupt persons and politicians to be locked in the darkest cells at Kirikiri. However,it is imperative that withdrawal of freedom is meted out within the purview of the law.

Nevertheless, it is difficult to expect a former military General to grasp the tenets of modern democracy. It is impossible to teach an old dog new tricks.

CelebritiesRe: Okey Bakassi Throws Shade At Buhari by GeneralShepherd(m): 12:58pm On May 16, 2016
How NL argue against strawmen is simply amazing! The main idea of the post, is to highlight the fact that Buhari has ruled Nigeria twice in one lifetime. As a 30 year old military General and now as a 70 year old civilian. The issue of his age is just a side attraction.

How many US presidents have ruled twice in different dispensations?
PoliticsRe: UK Warns Buhari Against Military Action In Niger Delta - Vanguard by GeneralShepherd(m): 12:51pm On May 16, 2016
madridguy:
Buhari, who has not commented about not visiting the Delta, has extended a multi-million dollar amnesty signed with militants in 2009 " but upset them by ending generous pipeline protection contracts". This is the real problem, the avengers don't need PMB to pay them a visit, all they need is free access to oyel and free flow of cash the way they're used to under their brother.
Try sleeping while oil rigs continually flare gas behind your window. Maybe then you'll earn the right to come back and criticise Niger Deltans.

I do not support millatancy and I condemn violence in its entirety. However, don't sit in the comforts of your house in Oshodi and cast aspersions on the people that have sacrificed their ancestral homes to fund your luxury!
