Dummy... Are they criminals or not? Lol

Pickpocketting: Crime... Pickpocketter: Criminal
Suicide bombing: Crime... Suicide bomber: criminal
Rape: Crime... Rapist: Criminal

Do you understand now?

They should sent you to learn how to repair bicycle or something. Wasted resources on folks not willing or even able to learn.

DeepSight:
I dont know what they have used on you all. You are so naive you dont understand the slightest thing. You are the sort of people who Squealer of Animal Farm can dribble by saying "A bird's wings comrades, is an organ of propulsion and not of manipulation. It is therefore, a leg." In case you dont know the book, Animal Farm, by George Orwell, please google the context of what I just wrote here. You will also find that Comrade Squealer used the words "propulsion" and "manipulation" correctly and yet there was a fabtastic dribble being played.

They key is to understand the context when words are being played with.

Let me just summarize it for you. In a country where a government wishes to tell you that it has "technically defeated" BOKO HARAM, it will suddenly shift to different sets of terms for the same people. So it will called them Herdsmen. It will call them Bandits. It will call them Criminals. Every single one of those terms will be technically right, but the simple truth is that they are dribbling you with words. Because in Nigeria, there is scant difference between the so called terrorist and the so called bandit - and the terms are as fluid as they come.

To give you a very simple analogy, the government said fuel subsidy is gone. When it became obvious that there is still backdoor subsidy, the terms suddenly changed to NNPC describing it as "shortfall" and "under-recovery." People like you will bring out a book of financial terms and read there that these terms are right. And you will go to bed naive to how fantastically someone just dribbled you.

Please do know that a terrorist is also a bandit and a criminal, especially in the context of the history of Northern violence in Nigeria. As members of terrorist groups still today roam as random sets of bandits. Indeed as someone pointed out, the definition he produced for terrorist also fits many politicians. But for you lot, if a dictionary definition of a politician is produced, that will suffice to prove to you that politicians are not terrorists. How naive.

Reno is an extremely dishonest person and one of the most shameless creatures on Earth. He is simply playing with words there to dribble the naive.
Nuff said.

One of the things you learn very early in elementary school is to say what you mean and mean what you say.
There's are no ambiguities here except those you are making up for yourself.
So, you've read The Animal Farm? Good for you, some people have read far more than that.
It is absurd to suggest that all criminals are terrorists. In fact, it is dumb to say so.
Reno presented the context and the facts, you are the one who is parsing.

lebete3000:
Are you talking from experience? That shit is sexy as fvck.

Lol, not for me though.

bugu51:
I have always believed that you were a smart woman. But I'm disappointed.
Which dictionary interpretes terrorist as criminal?

Smh!

She once argued that lactose intolerance is not a medical fact!
She's as thick as a board.

Bovis:
Reno is not in the same class as Aisha Yesufu

Absolutely not.

Kobojunkie:
I don talk am say some of you seem everlastingly stewpid! If bandits and terrorists are criminals, how can there exist differences between criminals and bandits and terrorists?

Always stop to reason critically before you respond!

Olodo ni e joo. What arrant nonsense are you talking about? If one should go by your logic then a pickpocket and a suicide bomber are all the same.
Did you even go to school?

Kobojunkie:
Even in his response, he cannot resist the urge to insert yet more lies. So, terrorists and bandits are not recognized as criminals? 😂😂😂😂😂😂 These folks should stop giving that boy attention abeg! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

They are all criminals but not all criminals are bandits or terrorists. Can't you read?
Looks like you are enchanted by Aisha's twerking with hijab.

Atuero:
That Tinubu is a master strategist that built Lagos!!!



[i]Tinubu will handle economy while
Shettima will handle security [/i]
Add yours......

The greatest lie actually is that Nigerians are smart. How do we explain people like you?

babasolution:
They always love Nigeria from faraway. Mumu majority tribes

They love Nigeria from far away and contribute billions to the GDP. What are you useful for?

Kobojunkie:
Nonsense!

If it made any sense to you we wouldn't have been having this conversation.

Kobojunkie:
Because the opinions of people on the internet somehow impact defamation cases and claims, or what?

Your particular opinion is hosted, not as part of the video where the supposed statement was made but on Nairaland, a forum where opinions are meant to be debated.

Do you even know what defamation means? Part of the case against VDM will be based of what folks like you and I are saying about the Falanas on the internet.
If the video was just saved on VDM's phone and not seen or heard by anyone do you think a case will be brought against him?
How old are you by the way?

Kobojunkie:
Na him mouth him take "defame" person so na him personally dem go sue for defamation if dem wan sue. No be personal issue that one be? How e take become your own problem?

When you start defaming people and putting it on the internet it is no longer a personal issue. You are basically inviting the whole world take interest in whatever you have to say.
If I go by your own logic, how my comment about VDM take concern you?

Kobojunkie:
Ogbeni, let him — VDM— handle his personal issue by himself while you instead focus on the major one that should concern you... the fact that crimes were committed and institutions in your country helped hide them.

How is this a personal issue in your warped estimation? Who is related to VDM in all the names he is mentioning on social media?
"His personal issue" how dubious do you have be?

Kobojunkie:
Nonsense talk! Na VDM cho-cho-cho be the thing wey blow the whistle on crimes committed both by EFCC and the Prison commission. We are finally made to face an issue that has been in existence for decades as a result of his chochocho.

What exactly has your particular sealed lips done for anyone?

It is one thing to blow the whistle on what you know is true, it is another thing to defame and ruin another person's reputation in the hope that some truths will come out.

Originakalokalo:
I don't comment on issues like this... I just read and pass.

That said, I think Nigerians are tired of this hope.... dashed.....repeat kind of government....

Can someone explain,.using economic metrics, how this will benefit the masses instead of hoping on something that will not materialize.

Where is the removal of import duty on Food?

Where are the promises to make life easier for the common man?

Did you import any food and paid any duties?

enemyofprogress:
e pain am. I don expose am for public

Not everyone is like your father. All these brainless dolts parading Nairaland!

enemyofprogress:
an adofuro has been spotted

Like your father?

This is the purpose for defaming people in the first place, money and fame.
You have to be outrageous in your lies and actions to get attention. I just hope he doesn't end up in jail.

Ironsi killed regionalism. You can lie until you turn green in the face and nothing will change. His decree 34 of 1966 is there for anyone who can read.

olabrad:
Don't be stupid.

In this current situation, her opinion wouldn't matter if not because of her father's influence.

She has no influence or name of her own to make her relevant.

You are talking nonsense my friend, your right to speak on any issue does not depend on wether your father is famous or not.

olabrad:
It's not lame. She wouldn't have had opinion if not for her father's influence.

So, you have no opinion because you don't have a famous father?

Edo would rather be like Lagos?

What guilty conscience? Are you suggesting they might have been at Diddy's freak off parties?

Moroccoguy:
Very honest question from dark man.

Is it her fault VDM's father did not make any name for himself?
This type of attack is lame, none of us chose his or her parents.

Nebeuwa:
I came to Nairaland believing that people would want to debate the issues that are plaguing Nigeria and Africa in general. But now I see that people would rather argue about nonsensical issues, such as whose "tribe" is better than the other. It doesn't make sense. I would think that supposedly educated Nigerians would want to talk about issues that matter. However, it would seem like that I am sadly mistaken. Where are the intellectuals on this forum? I did not come to this site to read tribalistic postings.

They left a long time ago.

E lo fokan bale, the enemies of Nigeria will call it fake news as usual.
Beyond the current price of rice there's no way they can see this as being beneficial to them.

Funkyswagzz:
Just be rest assured he was collecting tax like mad man packing rubbish. The dullard never knew his recklessness was being protected by Obasanjo's brilliant economic policies.

Absolute nonsense and a blatant distortion of facts. Tinubu kept Lagos running when Obama withheld what was due to Lagos from the federation account.
What do you gain by shamelessly lying about what we all witnessed?

MadPolitician:
Nigeria makes these sort of statements from a general perspective. It always manages to find different ways to dodge the real commitments whenever an oppurtuinity for doing so emerges. And Isreal understands this. I mean, Isreali security companies are still very active as we talk in the Niger Delta. Nigerias rulers, irrespective of their religious inclinations, will always hire the isrealis to do sensitive security jobs for the country, including in Aso rock. Do you remember when Buhari hired an Isreali company to kidnap Umaru Dikko?

At the United nations, the Isreali/Palestine issue is somewhat close to the Taiwan vs China issue in diplomatic terms. Many countries deal with Taiwan, but the Chinese will let that slide for other diplomatic/political/economic reasons. The point is that the rulers of Nigeria understand where to draw the line. They seldom contribute to any financial pull to support violence against isreal, and "supporting violence against Isreal", is always the deal breaker for Isreal.

Nigerian government officials will make some general statements against Isreal, and then go back to normal relations with isreal. The only time that Nigeria tried seriously to take up a major anti isreal role in dealing with the isreal vs Palestine crises, was when General Sani Abacha invited Yasser Arafat to Abuja and promised him millions of dollars. He died the next morning! Peacefully in sleep too!!! Major Hamza Mustafa has been wailing on top of his voice that it was a handshake with one of Arafats men that killed Abacha, but Nigerians have been herded by the BBC and the VOA into believing that it was some Indian gals and some apples, that were responsible.

How is the support for two states solution tranlate to being against Israel?

You also said "Nigeria makes these sort of statements from a general perspective. It always manages to find different ways to dodge the real commitments"

Can you please give examples?
