Maturity demands the ability to accomodate divergent views no matter how extreme it may appear to be, especially in a free speech environment where democracy is being practiced like ours.

Nigeria's structure needs to be addressed to reflect the word 'NATIONHOOD' in it's nearest meaning as nothing in a set up where 36 units eats from the small plate presented by the centre.
Why was'nt the word boko haram censored because nairaland does not agree with what they are doing?

Seun the addition of biafra on rule 9 has to be revisited in the interest of free speech & liiberty which self actualisation represents & for emphasis sake, i do not support seccession of any form.

If you honestly believe the embolden, then your point is useless!

It we live in a free speech environment how come that blogger in Ogun state was arrested for spreading lies?

Freedom of speech doesn't translate to freedom to say nonsense.

As usual, sincere9gerian, you always fail to see what's in front of you. To even view a person's personal business as democratic its a clear pointer that you're just spewing thrash as usual.

Hmm. Oh well. Let's wait for the presidency to issue a statement on this. I believe they're the ones capable of shedding more light on this matter.

Not that I really believe PMB actually collected a dime from Dasuki, because it was obvious Dasuki and his boss were so going to loose the political positions....

I still don't get why many people want this anti-social media be passed. And more so, why people scream that bloggers post lies about them and so on.

Its a very simple thing, any blogger posting lies should be sued or even arrested. Slander, libel are still crimes in Nigeria. That blogger from Ogun who blogged about the first lady of Ogun being corrupt isn't smiling now. LOL.

Bitterleafsoup:
JoJo how do you sleep at night?Your people are suffering and you are still cheerleading a pack of Chief government policy illerates

And who are the ones who caused the suffering?

sukkot:
yeah let me use the term that is so ubiquitously used around here. ' end-time people ' lol. the love of many have waxed cold and all kinds of perverseness has enveloped the land. its really sad and disheartening for me ready many comments on this site. it really is. how did we degenerate to this level ?

Well that's a question I've asked myself times without number, to the point that I even wonder the kind of wonder Fela Kuti wondered to the extent that Steven Wonder came to wonder with us.

Honestly, this country truly need fixing. Stewpidity is wonderfully celebrated.

2sex:
where are you on alexa? bottom of the ocean I guess.

On the contrary, what has that got to do with what is being discussed here?

You asked if I have any idea about running an online business, I say I did, now you're mentioning alexa, dude, please learn to debate on point and never stray.

Seun:
This story has to be cowpoo. I don't think you need to give most bloggers more than N200k to get them to do anything. 240 million? No way.

Well I believe the story has have some element of truth in it.

You who own Nairaland, do you have a 500 million naira mansion, or do you live in Lekki, Ajah or even V.I. Dude, you leave just stop bus stops away from me.

And I'll have you know Linda Ikeji isn't just 'most bloggers' she's the number one blogger. So the 240 million can't be that far. Then again, I might be wrong.

PS: Where you approached by Dasuki? LOL.

sukkot:
hard to argue with that if you come to nairaland everyday and read peoples posts

It is. Nairaland reflect the thoughts and imaginations of we Nigerians online. I tell you bruv, it is fake, wicked, perverse, tribalistic, filled with all manner of sentiment and twisted.

You can imagine people cloning monikers and having as much as 10 monikers just to use to ferment trouble or make themselves larger than life here. Just because they believe they can get away with it.

I bet that blogger from Ogun state will be having a rethink now. Lol.

sukkot:
yeah i hear ya bro lol. i guess its a tribal thing with some people. she is our daughter. he is our son. * sigh * .

It is, it truly is. That's one of the bane of this country. Tribalism/sentiment and gross lack of common sense everywhere!.

It was the same nonsense they championed during the 2011 election with GEJ, look how that turned out.

Its a shame bro. Majority of we Nigerians are halfwits. Smh.

sukkot:
bro, if you are collecting money from politicians who are using the countries stolen money and not their own personal money, it is a crime. you are in america and you still think like someone who has never left nigeria ? thats what going abroad is supposed to do to you, enlighten you and make you see the right way of doing things and civilize you. you cant just pass through america, you have to let america pass through you.

Bro, its a waste of time trying to convince some people to reason.

This same people defending Linda for collecting 250million for just running campaign promos, are the ones who crucified Fashola for building a website for 78 million Naira.

2sex:
lmaooo... dude, go start your blog, build your own community and then come back to tell us your experience before you talk about charging 3Naira instead of 2Naira. You think building on online business is easy just because your here "ONLINE"

I own a blog dude, been there, done that.

So what's next?

2sex:
Let me ask you a question.... when did Linda start blogging?

what does that have to do with anything?

2sex:
so in essence, Linda is a criminal.... what do you people know about doing business on the internet sef to begin with? what?

I know quite enough

1. I know that when you collect money from someone you're not suppose to collect money from, is a crime.

2. I know collecting money under false pretense is a crime.

3. I know collecting money for a job that is worth 2 Naira, and you collect 3 Naira or more is a crime.

Bro, please read the criminal code. It will open your eyes!.

sukkot:
ok i get your point and i think it is wrong. in a normal civilized society every penny is accounted for. you cant pay a blogger 600 million naira equivalent in america or britain because you will be arrested immediately and locked up. thats money laundering. what service is a blogger offering you that is worth 600 million naira ? in civilized societies everything you do is put under scrutiny and accounted for. not this jungle called nigeria where a man can steal 2 billion dollars and brain dead citizens who poverty has destroyed their life think this is a normal way of doing things and start defending these crazy acts. what is a blogger doing for you that is worth 600 million ? what service exactly ? you will be thrown in federal prison in america. 30 years prison sentence

Now this is another man I'll like to buy a bottle of beer.

tiar:
Two things for all of you.

Nigerians lie a lot especially within Nigeria where telling the TRUTH is looked at with disdain and deception is celebrated.

Secondly, you will NEVER SUCCEED in Nigeria beyond the simple average if you REFUSE to play the Nigerian game! The Nigerian 'game' is not something that God is or will ever be pleased about. It is purely evil.

You literally can't make an above average sum of money in Nigeria by holding onto principles and values of ethics and honesty. I don't care how good you really are or claim to be in your area of expertise. It's either you adjust to the rotten society (wickedness, dishonesty, deceit, corruption etc ) or you leave and go abroad or remain in penury within Nigeria or way below your appropriate playing level.

People don't dish out big money in Nigeria to people that have not shown them they are part of them and are wiling to be loyal to the Nigerian game and drop their 'holier than thou mantra.'

Most people in Nigeria use legitimate businesses as fronts for underhand dealings which is where the Nigerian game is played and the outrageous sums made.

Think deeply and not superficially. What you see AND what you are told is not what you get in Nigeria.

Honestly, I want to buy you a bottle of beer. You hit the nail right on the head!

This our society is one where corruption is a virtue and honesty is a vice.

manny4life:
Smh

Okay. Shake am more.

2sex:
You are talking nonsense...

Thank you, oya abeg talk sense na?

adonbilivit:
this will end up making Linda more popular. guess what that means? more money!!!...


armed robbers go to clubs and spend their stolen money on drinks. would the government arrest the owners of the clubs for taking money for drinks sold to armed robbers? #freelinda

Not really. Armed robbery is far different from what's an hand here.

Linda supposedly collected money from someone she's not suppose to collect money from to run campaign promos. The people who were suppose to disburse the funds to her is Jonathan's campaign office, not the office of the NSA.

Think of it, what has campaigning got to do with national security?

Bitterleafsoup:
Excatly, he won't do anything all this probing is for show and another way to distract Nigerians from the escalating downfall of the naira.

Oh really? Is it today the Naira has been depreciating?

Only time will tell.

AllNaijaBlogger:

Jolllyjoy:
