Literature › Re: Opinion: Why Poetry Is Important, And Could Be More Important Than Science by joseph1832(m): 8:01am On Jan 16, 2015

AllNaijaBlogger:
First of all, we could all live without poetry. We would be turned into robots without entertainment and we would state everything literally........just like the people in the movie "Equilibrium".

But without science, we would live shorter lives, we would be ignorant and we wouldn't have a lot of gadgets that we have now. Including the internet/nairaland on which you are defending Laykorn.

I'd pick being a robot over halving my life and being ignorant. Both science and poetry are important but science takes the cake

Firstly: You call that living? Living like robots instead of human beings? Am astound someone like you would even refer living like robot. And just how did the people in 'Equilibrium' fared! I'll have you know something: without art, we'll be devoid of our emotions thus revealing the beast in us. Why do you think during the Stone Age all what men did was fighting War and raping and looting?.

Secondly: I really don't believe science has made our life longer, what is the life expectancy of an average man? Talkless of a Nigerian? If science was all that human would life forever. Even with science, the world population still grow everyday and people still die everyday. The internet doesn't quick cut!. Even modern medicine can't give longevity!. Our forefathers live more years on this Earth than us, and they didn't have science.

I believe you made it clear from all what you said above that you'll prefer life in the Matrix than life in the real world. If you say "science take the cake" its your opinion" for me I refer all! No one is more important than the other. Anyway who am I to mess with your opinion?.

It's not a Nigerian thing; that's how voters all over the world choose who to vote for. People make most decisions based on their feelings.

Funny thing is GEJ use this (feelings) to secure his sit in Aso Rock. He's "I had no shoe" and "I was poor like you" did the job. A pity such petty tricks won't work this time around!.

Stop defending your poetry master

His opinions are not backed up by any facts or logical argument.

Others have pointed logically how the opposite of his opinions is the better argument.

You all should know our personal opinion is never standard fact! Its just what it is, our opinion. It has no empirical backing whatsoever. Instead of saying he wrote rubbish, just take it as his opinion.

As he walks from house to house
Knocking on strangers' doors
With his oak mandolin
Playing his simple song.
And in his song, in his song
Pure as the radiance of the sun
Grand Truth can be heard
Of lofty sublime dreams.
The hearts that turned into stone
Are forced to beat once more
For many he ignited Reason
That once slumbered on in Darkness.
But instead of bestowing on him glory
The people of his land
Brought the outcast
Poison in a cup.
They told him "Damn you!
Drink! Drain it to the bottom
Your song is strange to us
Your truth we do not need."

~Joseph Stalin

Stalin was an educated and very paranoid man. Some even say he's demented. Imagine how the worst of men could even write poems.

I believe in this poem he was referring to Gregory Rasputin.

The Mother

“When your mother has grown older,
When her dear, faithful eyes
no longer see life as they once did,
When her feet, grown tired,
No longer want to carry her as she walks -

Then lend her your arm in support,
Escort her with happy pleasure.
The hour will come when, weeping, you
Must accompany her on her final walk.

And if she asks you something,
Then give her an answer.
And if she asks again, then speak!
And if she asks yet again, respond to her,
Not impatiently, but with gentle calm.

And if she cannot understand you properly
Explain all to her happily.
The hour will come, the bitter hour,
When her mouth asks for nothing more.”

Adolf Hitler, 1923

I trust only Adolf Hitler can come up with a twisted thing like this!. I bet the mother he was referring to was him.

I honestly don't see any thing wrong in the form he filled! Remember not all Nigerians have 'other' names.

Besides even if he can't fill his form properly, that doesn't mean he's not a good leader!. Besides, GEJ who is a Phd holder how well did he dared as C in C?.

No be by fill form dem dey take know who be good leader and who ne be good leader, na performance. Plain and simple.

The Nigeran Army has good reputation abroad, in terms of bravery and the likes, but the Boko Haram menace has expose a whole lot of things.... I mean we soldiers rebelling against their C.O and stuff like that.

It is such a shame that the Army has been politicized!. Also CNN should apologize to Nigeria because this same Nigeran Army performed excellently during foreign peace keeping mission.

Politics › Re: How I Engage With APC Supporters And Win Them Over Offline. Part 1 (Corruption) by joseph1832(m): 9:43pm On Jan 15, 2015

Matthewbriggs:
This thread was inspired by my encounter with a cab driver today. I boarded a cab ... as the journey progressed. The driver started talking about how APC's buhari was the best thing for Nigeria. After spending few minutes with him in that cab discussing politics ... This guy moved from been a buhari supporter to undecided.

All I basically did was share with him my conviction on why I think Good luck deserves a second term.
The first thing any buhari supporter would do when they start engaging you is complain about Jonathan government. Their complains revolves around three key themes. They are a) Corruption b) Insecurity c) and the economy.

In the next couple of days I would be addressing each of these themes on separate threads as I try to share with you my personal conviction.
for today I would Start with Corruption

Magnificent nonsense! I believe you won the cab driver because he is, 'A cab driver'. You should have thought it wise to try and convince me to vote GEJ!.

Imagine the nonsense you're saying, "GEJ is preventing corruption", "sending people to jail is a short term solution" this statements by you is the most narrow minded statement I've heard thus far!.

You seem not to understand the basic nature of man!.

Okay OP, try and convince me here why I should vote GEJ!. Let's have a debate!!!.

Politics › Re: GEJ Visit Of Maiduguri Is Hypocrisy And Election Gimmickery! It Will Not Work! by joseph1832(m): 9:32pm On Jan 15, 2015

The most pertinent questions we should ask are:

1. Why didn't he visit when the Chibok girls where kidnapped?.

2. Why didn't he visit when Baga was attacked?.

3. Why didn't he visit when suicide bombers where bombing innocent Nigerians?.

4. Why didn't he visit When Boko Haram stormed a village and abducted men and women?.

5. Why didn't he visit and praise the farmers who went ahead to challenge Boko Haram and rescue the abducted people?.

Any sensible Nigeria will see through the wiles of GEJ!. The guy isn't smart at all!.

OP what do you expect from a military regime? Fair trial? You seem to forget GMB was a soldier and H.O.S he can do whatever he please.

Now let's see what other H.O.S did:

Olusegun Obasanjo: We all know what he did to Fela and Fela's mother. If you don't, listen to Fela's unknown soldier, you'll get the idea.

Ibrahim Babangida: We all know what happened to Dele Giwa.

Sani Abacha: Of course Kenule Esarowiwa comes to mind and the witch hunt of his supposed enemies.

How come you didn't open a thread about these H.O.S and what they did?.

Stop comparing what happened in military regime to civilian regime. The two are direct opposite and are incomparable.

Politics › Re: BREAKING: Buhari Diagnosed With PROSTATE CANCER by joseph1832(m): 3:07pm On Jan 15, 2015

naijapolitica:
Close sources reveal that Gen. Buhari is not medically fit and diagnosed with PROSTRATE CANCER . I, the author of this piece, challenge him and all his APC team to deny these claim if they can with proof.

In the meeting Jonathan had with Obasanjo, Adeboye and Oyedepo, Jonathan challenged Obasanjo with the following questions in the presence of the two pastors as witnesses:

1.) Didn’t you advice me that if only I remain loyal to you, you will secure a re-election for me knowing fully well that Gen. Buhari is terminally ill and diagnosed with prostrate cancer and wouldn’t survive leadership of this country?
2.) You advised me to handle the insurgency by annihilating the whole state but I refused because I was concerned about the innocent citizens there?
3.) Didn’t you advise me against eliminating ‘ghost workers’ saying that ‘the boys will be angry with me’?
4.) In 2011, you confided in me about Yar’adua’s ill health assuring me that I will become president after his demise which was near. Didn’t you?

NOW! what is the end game for APC? It is becoming Clearer, Tinubu hopes Buhari dies on seat (if he wins of course) restoring power to the southwest. Obasnjo is a part to this. Ever wondered why he kept APC as a friend? .. I sure bet he (buhari ) will so disappoint Tinubu.

For those not aware, Buhari’s daughter is married to Ali Modu Sheriff’s brother by name Babagana…
Ali Modu Sheriff is same man indicted as the sponsor of boko haram.

SOURCE:http://naijapolitica.com/2015/01/14/exclusive-buhari-diagnosed-with-prostate-cancer/

And I writing this challenge you to tell your source to provide you with these:

1. The name of the doctor who diagnosed GMB?
2. The name of the hospital he was diagnosed in?
3. Documents showing that GMB is indeed ill with prostate cancer.

Another question for you OP: Did Buhari give his daughter to Ali Modu Sheriff? If indeed you are condemning Buhari for giving his daughter out for marriage to Ali Modu Sheriff's brother, then you are indeed condemning all the relation and family members of Osama Bin Laden for attacking WTC, you are indeed blaming the family and relatives of Kabiru Sokoto for the Christmas Day Bombing.

I wait for you proof to all I ask!.

You've convinced him? How do you know? Did you see him cast his vote when election is in February?.

The prudent for you to say is to wait and see, your cousin who's a 'die hard' Buhari fan might have agreed to your endless ranting just to get you off his/her back!. He or she might go to the polling unit and still vote Buhari or someone other than Buhari or GEJ. I bet you didn't think of that!.

Nairaland has totally lost it.

I noticed it, its a shame that's the way things are now. The people attacking Buhari's wife and daughters should know that should attention be shifted from GEJ to his wife Patience, the catastrophe that will ensue won't be nice. After all Patience Jonathan has made a very profitable livelihood of goofing!.

Even if there was competition between Aisha Buhari and Patience Jonathan, Aisha Buhari will flaw Mama Peace to the point of embarrassing her!.
