PoliticsRe: Tinubu Embarrassed In Dubai For Associating With Buhari by iyeyemi: 3:00pm On Jun 18, 2013
Mr. Smart's foolish dissertation eclipsed a once-in-a-lifetime event, how insensitive can you get? Plus why do politicians talk like the rest of the nation is made up of idiots, but then again judging from the many supporters of this action in here, maybe they are on to something. Without the terrorism, smart really wants us to believe that this govt would have spent that amount on roads, or education or anything other than personal vanities like holding a wedding in dubai.
CelebritiesRe: Rita Dominic On Set Of 'Streets Of Calabar by iyeyemi: 12:19pm On Jun 14, 2013
Streets of Calabar is perhaps the 'trashiest' movie you could ever go to watch in the cinema. That said though, I watched 'The Meeting' right after I watched this one and I wondered what Rita Dominic was thinking doing the former, cause the meeting was much classier, far better scripted, with an awesome cast...
Nairaland GeneralRe: "If It Is A Crime To Save Lives, Then We Are Guilty!" - Seun Osewa by iyeyemi: 3:32pm On May 09, 2013
dare2think: So eventually the people that execised their right to speak should be held accountable for the murder of the innocent and not the murderers themselves or the ideology behind it?

I say my view about a subject, someone else gets killed based on what I said by another, means I should keep shut about my views.

Next time, people will start getting killed for how people look at them or the colour of dress they wear or how they celebrate certain things.

We should now live in fear? Responsibilty of any murder lies solely on the knife-bearer in this case.
Excuse the killers? No Sir!, but really what good to the world has that guy with the cartoon done asides from giving some animals reason to end some other people's lives? The author of that document is within the safe confines of his own society, if he really wants to people to hear and pay attention, he should try moving to maiduguri and let the whole world celebrate his martyrdom for freedom of speech

So you guys would prefer hiding behind the veil of an online forum and claim to fight against the tyranny of one religion and allow some innocents far away who are not as bold as you pay the ultimate price?

People please try and read first ...read! Though the headline is intentionally misleading to be sensational, it is in the article, it's a 10 year sentence for a variety of crimes. Plus he was already associated with a murder case prior to this one. So although we all know that bigger thieves are in corridors of power, this particular thief deserves just what he is is getting
PoliticsRe: American Anthem Announced Before Nigeria’s At THISDAY Awards by iyeyemi: 4:55pm On Feb 27, 2013
zaza1: the ignorance being spewed out on this particular topic is so alarming..this is truly a country in trouble..people are so proud to show they are illiterate.How can the Ogun people be saying they should play the Nigerian anthem first?You play the anthem of the host country last and that should be the last thing you will hear..they asked for Nigerian anthem to be played first and some people here are saying it is right..it is so sad that so many people know next to nothing about anything that doesnt immediately concern them..SMH
I tire o, thought I was the only one wondering why people are taking this so badly,someone already stated a position that it is in line to play the host nation's anthem first, people are just averse to reading in this country, Complain first, Reason later...that's our MO

CultureRe: Is Rap A Blueprint For Black Self Destruction? by iyeyemi: 9:33pm On Oct 25, 2012
@royal

Bros...rap does not have to be about intricate lines and fancy word play...it does have to sound like something that's heartfelt and personal. Fela didn't have the sweetest melodies on his tracks but his music lives on. Granted Pac wasn't exactly a model citizen but he spoke his heart with fire and relayed the realities of his day. Dear mama, life goes on, changes,ghetto gospel, give me those tracks any day and keep your 'university rhymes'

LiteratureRe: MI's Touching Piece for Murdered UNIPORT Students by iyeyemi: 11:24am On Oct 09, 2012
shymexx: Technically, Nigeria has been in this sorry state since 1914, no?? Slaves were revolting right right from when slavery started - Nat Turner got busy with his guns in the 1800s, Igbo landing in virginia, Jamaican Slave Revolt in the 1800s, the Brazilian slave revolt in the 1700s, Haitian Revolution in the 1700s - bear in mind that these people were powerless, but they still fought with lives against injustice... Don't disrespect these great black men and women - they were 'bravehearts'..

M.I is part of genre of music, which was created by activism - Hip Hop = fighting against injustice... He has the tools, and he has to lead by example, not writing worthless crap... Get people together and fight... Time is of the essence, fight the power and make a change...
Yea bro I hear all that...but you still miss my point. Bottom-line...this piece of his is a statement. Heartfelt, emotional...I write as well so I can tell. Can he do more? Sure he can. We all can. I have seen many e-activists on nairaland, if it was just by spitting venom online we would have been far better than the US or something. But at least he has opened up his heart and effectively opened up a channel where people can also experience the need for change. Without the spark, there can never be a flame. Jean Jacques Rousseau was a writer, but his book on social contract has been referred to as the the textbook of the french revolution. I never heard of him going on the streets of paris or marching to versailles to protest, but his writing was just as potent.
LiteratureRe: MI's Touching Piece for Murdered UNIPORT Students by iyeyemi: 11:02am On Oct 09, 2012
shymexx: But for how long, though?? If the slaves never revolted en masse, do yu think slavery would have stopped when it did?? They had to stop because it wasn't as viable as it used to be, and slaves were revolting - they were not writing 'pieces'.

African Americans had to protest and fight with their blood, sweat, and tears - to end segregation, and get to where they're today... They had to fight for it, they didn't just sit there and write 'pieces'.

In the UK, London was pissy poor and dirty like 100 years ago with homeless people everywhere - the people had to fight the elites before social reforms were introduced... And they had to build council houses for them, to shut them up... Black people in the UK also fought for most of the things they're enjoying today...

Why can't Nigerians fight in their own country?? The country belongs to them, and the people ruling them look like them - why are they scared?? Writing crap won't do nada!!!!
Technically the 'african slavery' you speak of lasted for nearly 500 years. Nigeria as a nations is not 60 years old yet. So we muct always put things in proper perspective. How many of our religious leaders who have the ears of the people in government ever speak up against misrule? How many of our business leaders and elite say anything adverse against the establishment? So expecting MI to do more than just 'write' for me is stretching expectations a bit. Would he wake up and start demonstrating all the way to aso rock because he wants to effect a change?

shymexx: I'm out here fighting against injustice where I live - Nigerians in Nigeria need to do the same...

When you guys are ready for a change, hit me up - but for now, stay writing 'pieces' and making tunes that dumb down the IQ...
Bros...effecting change is a sum total of actions, omissions and commissions directed at creating such an impact. It's assuming that there is only one way to change things that is responsible for the inertia and unwillingness to move forward. He wrote his mind and he makes sense, sense enough to make a few folks concerned about the issue. That's a step, it may not be enough, but it is still a step. He has a voice and he is using it to speak in condemnation...bro whichever way you want to dice it..that's a step.

shymexx: These clowns stay writing 'pieces' when the country is in abyss...

Are there no activists in Nigeria?? If African Americans were writing 'pieces' during Jim Crow laws and civil rights movement - there would still be segregation in America... Fight for your country and your future, and stop writing nonsense... We know you can write, we need action... Get busy, or shut the fvck up...

Go hard, or go home.. undecided
Really not sure why your venom is directed at MI on this one? What's he supposed to do other than write? Go to PH and gun down the natives of Alua? The fact that his writing got you in here even thinking about the issue is a start. Besides, what have YOU done lately to right society's wrongs.

[quote author=mosh_musth]The best way to leave together both Christian and Muslim is to learn how to respect each other religion.. Disrespecting prophet Muhammed or publishing that may aggravate tension among us should be prohibited.. Imagine that nigeria journalist in 2002 uttering rubbish, that Denmark cartoon about prophet Muhammed, that Pakistan Boy that fled to uk for protection that wrote the satanic quran,the burning of quran by American soldiers and now the recently air uk TV comic about Islam was greeted with wide spread of critism from Islamic clerics n followers this scorn and disrespectful act towards Islam should be stopped and must be stopped... Learn to respect Islam and accomodate Islamic teaching in ur Christianity ways that way we will all live happily...[/quote]Just like those buffoons in libya, you are no different from an animal. I have heard countless islamic sermons against Jesus and xtianity and nobody gets killed. Here you are justifying the killing of someone who probably didn't even know the movie exists. So if someone else disrespects your religion you have the right to kill anybody for it. Animals

@queensmith...on the surface your argument sounds rational, but in this world that we live in, if it's not criminal and it doesn't hurt the other person (i.e. if it's consensual as between two adults), then please your tag of perversion and any other name so called is not well informed. Couples with many years in between them have had both good and bad marital experiences, same as couples with relative similarity age wise. The lesson - Don't generalize and because it doesnt make sense to you doesnt make it wrong

People that live in the bushes or that do not have brains to understand how the world works should close their mouths.

No wonder we are in the doldrums? Because our schools refuse to teach us; our history was dumped and pure lies put into our heads to confuse us more.

Chief, you are a slave of the world and will never be considered worthy of what gets to the Greece, the Italians, The Spanish.

Get it into your dammed head, Western Europe owns our world.

Stop fooling yourself; IMF, WORLD BANK, UN etc will never threat you like the Europeans.

For your information, there is a world world ranking order

1: Western Europe and America. (For your information US, CANADA, NEW ZEALAND, AUSTRALIA , including some from South Africa, and Zimbabwe are cousins of the Western Europe.).
2. The Asians
3. The South Americans
4. Other Africans (Caribeans)
5. Bloody Black Africans. (That's where me and you belong.)

Until we get this and work to reform and earn our respect; we will continue to be fooled.[/quote]I was going to argue with your assertions, but I read your post again and with the kind of unnecessary venom in your response, I had to agree with you that we are a backward people.
