Politics › Re: “you Mean I’m Now A Prisoner?” – Lamido Exclaims After Court Sends Him To Prison by GeneralShepherd(m): 8:18am On Jul 10, 2015
PvtParts2:
The Buharist Zombies don't know that sooner or later it will be Fashola and Tinubu on the list.

Buhari is doing what he did in 1984.

Arresting and jailing Politicians is not to curb corruption but rather to block any future opposition he may have.

Buhari hs truly hit the ground running.


He did this in 1984 and the Plebs celebrated this .

After the Politicians he gagged the Press with Decree 4 from where he took his despotism to the Plebs on the streets who by the time they realized had no politician or opposition figure to fight for their right, the press were gagged and they saw themselves living in a big barrack nation.

It took the efforts of IBB and other senior military officers to rid Nigeria of this power drunk despot.

But today we don't have that option.

Shout Change!
So what should he do give them more money to loot? You are part of the problem if you aren't part of the solution

You build a mansion with millions and yet can't spend a few extra thousands to install smoke alarms and overhead sprinklers.

A law needs to passed on standard building fire protection units, making automatic sprinklers a necessity since our fire brigade is dead.

As a Nigerian studying in the UK, I am always continously disgraced by these sort of news from my country.

I agree with this too but its necessary that you try and see things from that other guys point of view. There is always going to be a universal curiosity over the origin of existence and until either theists or atheists are able to prove beyond reasonable doubt each other's position there will continue to be unending arguments and discussion over the issue.

Its safe to say that neither position is correct at this point
Maybe... However if I told you that I have a dog that talks, and ask you to believe so by faith, would you say I am wrong or that it may be possible, given that it is biologically impossible for dogs to talk?

What will your answer be?

Ok
Now there is a relationship between you and your picture. One is naturally made & the other is man made. You could explain the making of one which is your picture but the making of your actual self is something you will still never fully comprehend till you die.


So why you could easily understand religion, the concept of God on the other hand will forever remain a subject of study as you can never fully understand His workings, & curiosity or doubt does not mean that you don't believe His existence you're simply curious
You are jumping all over the place. Firstly, you have not established that this God exists. Man is made up of cells which came from other humans who came from other humans.

Do I know the origin of first life? No, but some people are curiously investigating it. However, to attribute this origin to an unseen imagination called God is laughable

There is a relationship between myself and a picture of me. Do you now agree that there is a correlation between religion and God?

Now that's how to hold an intellectual discuss.

There was no ad hominem, I simply had to sit you up so we can discuss reasonably and for the benefit of others.


Now to your very first intelligent question.
First and foremost, God is not a construct of religion. Religion on the other hand is the construct of man. And I mean every single religion. They're all created by men. So when you confuse God with religion then you begin to confuse all your thoughts and reasoning.

And that was the mistake & misthought&misreasoning made by the German philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche, he couldn't separate God from religion.

And the moment we couldn't separate God from religion we begin to descend in our thinking towards the confusing state of ponderings.
How is it possible to separate God from Religion?

Thanks so much for your objective analysis of the current situation. At least it gives prospective international students an insight to make a decision that best suit their case.

The article highlights the, obvious, implication of the removal of the PSW.
What you should compare is the quality of education and job prospects, rather than PSW, in determining the best country to go and STUDY.

The problem is that you're mixing priorities here. Your audience are coming to study and look for graduate jobs eventually.
The economy is bad globally, so don't blame the UK for the strict rules.
The message is simple, if you cannot fund your education for its duration and get a graduate job, don't bother. The menial jobs is for those who're already here
And I have had one phone interview with a refinery in Canada even though I didn't even study there. Hope this gives you some perspective on my argument.

Lol...no psw means menial jobs are not for people here?! really anyway, I am studying Subsea Engineering and I have heard the words you would have made a wonderful engineer with us except you do not have a workpermit in the UK at least 15 times and I kid you not.From GE, Exxon Mobil, DNV etc. So I do not say what I say because of bias , the reality remains that UK deals a very bad hand to international students and I believe with strong evidence that studying in Canada, USA, and Australia to mention but a few is much better than studying in the UK.

As for quality of education, it is an argument that varies from school to school and is not very dependent on country. UK education especially MSc has on advantage that it ends quite fast and thus saves you valuable time.

What are you doing in the uk?you ve better options.there are Nigerian students who whose better options is uk.so don't conclude and say other countries are far better.you had your choice allow others to make their choices too.
Not all Nigerians want to settle in developed countries.some just want to study and come back.Most NL members are after job like those countries don't have citizens.A time will come these countries you are singing praises for will be like UK.
Rome was a powerful empire centuries ago were are they now?Egypt was the in thing were are they now. Canada does not have work my friend that read economics did her undergraduate level in canada did masters in economics in the US today na blogging.she has never worked but she's making cash.its about choices.don't block another persons blessing because things did not work out for you. You can only advice if the person is refused visa more than two times its not a do or die affair.
How do you mean things did not.work for me? I am still studying in the UK, I have about 3 interviews lined up. I am saying it as it is

Just the bitter truth. Spot on!
Emm... Net immigration quota also contributes to prospects. If Australia has no quota to the number of international students allowed to work after studies, is it.logical to say that students in the UK have equal opportunities as their Australian counterparts for example?
