Scoreline to be 4:1

On August 4, 2008, a band of foolish Somalian pirates kidnapped the entire crew of a Nigerian tugboat off the coast of Somalia. The boat was returning to Nigeria from Singapore. After holding their Nigerian hostages for a total of 302 days, the Somalian pirates finally grew brains and realized how foolish it was for them to have kidnapped Nigerians. The Somalians broke the number one rule of international hostage taking – the life of your hostage must mean something to a particular state – because they believed that anybody in the rulership of Nigeria was even remotely interested in the lives of Nigerian citizens. The pirates can be forgiven. Because they mostly kidnapped Americans and Europeans, they were not used to governments not fretting over the lives of their citizens. They extended that consideration to the Nigerian state and paid heavily for their error of judgment. Their Nigerian captives became an economic burden on them for they must be fed. After 302 days, the Somalians practically begged the Nigerian hostages to leave. They needed the space for hostages from serious countries that would worry about their citizens. Nobody in Abuja had bothered about our kidnapped compatriots. (Excerpt from "The Second Calabash" by Pius Adesanmi)

nolly042: my people i just want to say thank God for saving my life from an autocrash yesterday that i cud'nt explain. i lost my memory but now am recovering bit by bit

Not your time yet, we thank God.

Beaf: And you and Buhari think and write like Kabiru Sokoto.

You mean Kabiru Sokoto that was arrested in a PDP government house? the last time i checked, GEJ is the leader and 1st citizen of PDP, so therefore your statement is wrong, rather say You think and write like GEJ.

[size=18pt]Saturday Quote: "How could Dr. Reuben Abati feel comfortable to recall whatever Mallam Nasir el Rufai might once have said about Buhari, without inviting a reprise of his own unflattering statements about the personification of the presidency for which he now goes to bat? As far as I can see, so many bloated baboons are behaving too much like mischievous monkeys, to tell one from the other at this time." ~ Bisi Lawrence.[/size]

bakila: was kari jini biri jini written in such a way that an almajiri will not know. Must an Igbo man go to school or read Chinua Achebe to know what he who brings Kolanut brings life signify?

I tire o

Zediccus: Funny how some people are saying "you guys voted for Goodluck retar.deen Jonathan, i hope you enjoy his fresh air. " Lets assume Buhari gets to be the president - again, do you know there is a 99% chance that his government will still not meet up expectations ?

What a mentality

wesley80: My broda its a simple question and there's no need to be evasive. How do u think an al majiri that regards human life as being no more precious than that of a housefly would interpret a saying from their mentor that says dogs and baboons wld be bathed in blood?

Then stop asking me questions you have answers for already.

He spoke in Hausa because an Almariji does not need any education to understand the language, he also spoke a proverb which every tribe uses in their various languages.. i hope you still remember what "figure of speech" stands for?

Calebsky: When will they actually call for the renewal of the licenses? Am really interested so that i can prepare myself. Wow! It will be worth the effort.

It's going to be a real series, i wanna see beaf with his machine gun shooting sporadically from the oily creeks of delta remote areas.. oh i forgot, beaf is the e-fight of MEND.

wesley80: How do u think an al majiri will interpret such a saying?

I don't know, please tell me.

Are you trying to say "proverbs are only taught in schools too"?

pinkrex: jini is Blood

And so what? it rained cats and dogs, does that mean rain is a cat and dog?

The press once more appears to be in frenzy over a commentary purported to be made by Buhari. Buhari as usual is news. What so ever he does or does not do is a scoop to be splashed by the press. His commentary at the meeting with the Niger state CPC was rushed to the press without proper investigation. No sooner had the news reached the stand than the presidency, represented by Dr. Abati, furiously shot an unfortunate riposte building on the sketchy over-sensationalized opinions of Buhari.

One cannot help but be shocked with the descent of the country to pedestrian (mis)interpretation of issues with the sole purpose of impugning the sterling qualities of a person. All efforts are made to make this otherwise upright leader, who suffers phonies gladly and who has no regards for divisions, a violent regionalist. That is the way his Sokoto commentary has landed him a forced characteristic which has since then come to be his absolute definition in the Nigerian press trumping all his history of discipline and patriotism. It is a clear case of giving a dog a bad name in order to hang it, and remember this is not about a feline animal and a metal hook!

In this current situation, another deliberate fuss is caused to further hang this man by intensifying an already established stereotype. I just wonder; when have simple proverbs or political metaphors become literal representations of the objects they depict? Have we forgotten the ‘figuratively’ colorful first and second republics? When the late Mbadiwe (alias ‘a man of timber and caliber’) called himself ‘a political juggernaut’, I believe, nobody then thought of a monster caterpillar crushing all his political opponents to literal death. The Zik’s NPP was one time the ‘bride’ to be courted by other parties, did we at all think of a woman! What of Obasanjo’s ‘do or die’ declaration? Even if deaths had occurred at the election no one has related Obasanjo’s idiom to any casualties? Likewise, nobody has taken the late Bola Ige’s mentioning of the Northern ‘cows’ and ‘goats as part of the population census figures anything like livestock calculation more than the political slur it was meant to be.

[size=22pt][b]Why is Buhari’s ‘kare jini, biri jini’ any different? Shorn of all the literal and decontexualized misrepresentations, it simply means ‘a serious contest’ i.e. the attitude of not giving up by the parties involved. ‘Kare jini, biri jini’, in a corpus checking on the contexts and collocates of the proverb, is mostly used where fierce competitions occur especially in sports and politics. Literal translation of this saying is mischievous crude and banal for even if we don’t understanding Hausa, are Nigerians actually ‘baboons’ (literal not figurative!)? One is disappointed that a person of Dr Abati’s intellectual caliber has taken this philistine ‘joke’ to higher planes to impute the calling of Nigerian voters as ‘baboons’ and ‘dogs’ to Buhari. This is to further estrange and alienate him from the people for their 2015’s political success. If someone, for example, told me that ‘it rained cats and dogs yesterday’, then my translation into, say, Hausa, will not only be that literal cats and dogs have fallen from the sky but that the people in the area have become cats and dogs also. Abati (PhD Dramatic Arts), this is the abysmal descent of that your unfortunate response and this analogy captures how yours may read to discerning minds. For the price of lucre, many great intellectuals have committed intellectual suicide and fallen prey to the wiles and machinations of politicians only to come seeking for that hard earned reputation when it is too late and when the orgy is over.

And probably that is why that irrevocable incorruptibility of Buhari has remained a great threat since it cannot be Ghana-must-goed. His views are misinterpreted for his daring to be different and not being part of the corrupt gravy train. But by every effort that is made to besmirch him, he emerges cleaner to his massive unbought constituency. And, as the Hausa saying goes, when the sky is out, it can’t not be covered by our palms. Buhari is the sky and the PDP gang is the palms.
