Easy to explain.

High levels of illiteracy leads to high birth rate leads to poverty,

Sad thing is even on here you have posters talking about multiple wives and such, just mindnumbing.

You sorry buzzards need to wake up and realise that having multiple wives and kids is just primitive and archaic.

Name a country with high birth rates and i'll show you a faling state with crippling socio-economic problems left and right.

And the reason,Nigeria's child birth and infant mortality rates are high is simply the soaring illiteracy in the North,its a fact that can't be denied,by percentage more northerenrs are less educated and are predisposed to have large families with lots of children,by stark illiterate mothers and fathers, because they have not embraced education as much as southern nigerians.

[size=13pt]We didn’t take hasty decision on Libya -FG[/size]

Written by Christian Okeke, Abuja


THE Federal Government, on Tuesday, said there was nothing hasty about its decision to recognise the National Transitional Council (NTC) in Libya and noted that before taking the position on the Libyan crisis, Nigeria was patient and  hoped that the superior logic of dialogue would prevail.

This revelation came just as government denied reports that Nigerians were killed in the war-torn country, insisting that no Nigerian was harassed or killed in Libya.

Making the disclosure in Abuja during a media briefing to mark President Goodluck Jonathan’s 100 days in office, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Olugbenga Ashiru, noted that Nigerians were being protected in Libya as a result of the recognition accorded the NTC which he described as, “the group we felt was gaining ground.”

He maintained that if Nigeria had not taken the stand, there would have been more bloodshed and the victims would have blamed the country.

The minister stated that the Federal Government put a phone call across to the NTC that no harm should come to any Nigerian or any black in Libya.

He said, “Nigeria took the principled decision to recognise the NTC as the legitimate representative of the Libyan people on August 23, 2011. Our over-riding interest in the situation in Libya are threefold. One, to achieve an early end to the conflict, thereby preventing further loss of innocent lives, regardless of who the culprits are. Two, to support processes which would allow the Libyan people decide the future of their country. This is consistent with our new foreign policy focus to support the consolidation of democracy in Africa.

“In taking the position we took on the Libyan crisis, Nigeria was patient, always hoping that the superior logic of dialogue would prevail. For instance, our support for the AU Road Map was premised on the expectation that the protagonists would see the wisdom in embracing dialogue rather that a recourse to military solution.

“The AU Road Map  failed because of lack of faith on the part of the belligerents. In the circumstance, Nigeria had to act to reaffirm its leadership and also to continue to demonstrate our country’s commitment to the consolidation of democracy in Africa, a value which is central to our country’s new foreign policy focus,” he added.

AU road map was a joke,do you seriously think that a sychophant like Gadaffi would sit across a table with ppl he sees as "common rebels" to hammer out any type of deal?
Time for everyone to move on,Gadaffi is gone and Libyans are better off,40 years without change is disrespectful of his citizens.

nigeria has much more pressing issues to deal with than Libya right now, corruption,crumbling infrastructure,energy shortages,poverty,unemployment,

So nobody here is actually guilty of the Topic

I switch when I have to, If I'm in "the hood" talking with american blacks,yes but not in the office or any corporate setting.

This thread show the lack of reasoning that very common with illiterate and un-cultured people.

1)If a woman is unsatified by her husband should she take a second husband or boyfriend,or ride the houseboy/driver

2)they need to sit down and talk about it,if she can meet him halfway, then he should be able to tone down his overzealous craving, if he still wants more, he needs counseling, there is such a thing as addiction.

There is no such thing as a faking an American accent,what those buzzards are doing is faking the "ghetto" accent .they watch the music videos and believe that is how all americans speak, wrong,that's how "ghetto folks ",speak walk into your average college here and start yapping like that and everyone will do a double take on you .Silly Wanna bees .

On the other hand,you can always tell Nigerians here from a mile away, very loud and gesturing wildy, even in the library Keep your voice down you are not in Ajegunle or Mile 2 Market.

if helpless is
Her car is broken down,her cell phone is dead,miles to the next bus stop,has no money,very bad weather outside, no problem.

Omotola is fugly , here is Nicole Murphy,Eddie Murphy's ex after 5 kids

Best thing about being nigerian is coming on nairaland and watching posters make a f, ool of themselves with their bigotry,tribalism,religious zealotry,sexism and downright unabashed hatred and disdain for each other .

Its like opening a cage filled with vultures and throwing a dead rat inside.

snowdrops:
All because of a weak president. The ultimate responsibility for this mess is his.

and what did the "oh so mighty", Yar'a dua do about boko haram when he was in office?

what did he do about the various "uprisings" by northern mobs who burnt churches and slaughtered families

and what have any of the regional northern "leaders" say in response these incidents

I'll help you with the last one, they said "boko haram does not exist,its created by the West"

GEJ should come down strongly on these terrorist but he can't do it without the help of Northern leaders speaking out against these jihadists.

Abuloma80:
This is clear "celebrity arrogance", well it never pays. The end result is always fatal and wouldn't take long to come.

She should learn lessons from "Anna Nicole Simpson (America entertainer) and Amy Winehouse (British singer)"

They displayed same life style with stubbornness and arrogance, sad enough it took their lives at tender age.

Your comment borders on absolue lunacy , she smokes, omfg, she smokes, smh.
If you do YOUR job as a parent,then whatever an actor/entertainer does in their life won't influence your kids.No need for you to squeal about some actress who "smokes", heck most hollywood actors smoke and you folks drool over them.FYI, anna nicole and amy winehouse died of drug overdose not a pack of Marlboros.

BetaThings:
Who is the rallying for societal problems? Govt. Some people will listen to their Imams/Pastors/deities
Only the govt has legitimate and "independent" mindset to regulate this
What is ridiculous is your perfection of exaggeration
Zero regulation and over regulation are extreme positions
Our society largely frowns at h-omo.sexuality
some people will take it into their hands to cull them without government intervention
There is no reason to allow this disgusting act or even tolerate the health bill - diaper-wearing adults and HIV explosion
Who will pay the bill when they are on their back, down with HIV?

There should be a middle position. Ban h.omos. and encourage them to where they are highly valued - Western countries. Cull the rest

Gen Azazi has more information than you! He does not believe that the politicians people have been mentioning are responsible for BH actions
Try and get the tape of his session on Channelstv on Fri 9 Sept

Cull this first , all the overaged muslim men married to pre-pubescent little girls

Drone drone come again. . .

LMAOOO, hilarious

faster, faster, little crackhead.

iwonbaoko1:
does your mother know any more tricks. know any other words or is that it. just pudendal traffic??

Uh oh, little crackhead is getting, smart on me .

Little hamsters running faster in his feeble brain, go go go , must go , faster

ROFL.

somebody get a straitjacket, quick.

iwonbaoko1:

Awwww, little crackhead got his feelings hurt .
Sowwwy now.

can see all the rivers of tears streaming down little crackheads face.

Here,have a cookie, and a crack-pipe

Islam is the religion of peace, NOT.

cut of your corrupt leaders hands first , thats how its supposed to work, not adding to the legions of disabled beggars on the streets.

iwonbaoko1:
is it really true that the US buys more oil than nigeria than SAUDI. wow!! can you provide some evidence please.
i checked and got something different. i am concerned as you have been calling people dimwit and whatnot?
http://www.energyrefuge.com/archives/where_oil_comes_from.htm

Listen crackhead, I just replied your "boy" , see above, ^^^^^ right there.K.


4th place is still pretty high on the totem pole of things so I would call it EVEN, comprende?

Still doesn't change the dynamic of Nigeria being a big time supplier.

uche92:
not another illiterate . you could at least get your facts checjed over the net

Well forgive me, Mr uche (chat barnacle)

Nigeria is the 4th in US crude oil suppliers, does that suffice now, or are your panties still in a bunch??

Did that just change your perspective or you are still foaming at the mouth, hunched over your keyboard like some hapless, Gadfly

Cretin.

buzugee:
this atlanta thug is still around ? eku thuggery sir. wessideeeeee

Who says, wessideeee anymore?

You've been watching too many MTV videos. , and besides where do Lagos area boys have time to watch MTV, between strong arming innocent citizens and thrusting their hips at pre pubescent young girls.

There are already US companies contracting in the Nigerian oil industry , so just how in your little mind do you think that they can automaticllay take over the NNPC and just pump a soveriegn country's oil without consent, you must be d, umber than I thought, this did not happen in Iraq, its not happening in Libya(US doesn't buy Libyan oil) and it has never happened in the history of US conflict in any region, anywhere in the world.

This thread is just ignorant and fact-less anyway, and it's sure to attract the bottom dreg slugs of nairaland, like yourself.

These half witted know it alls on nairaland with their one track minds of "hate everything about US" really,really gets old.Seriously, .The US gets MORE crude oil from Nigeria THAN Saudi Arabia, how in the freaking world do you come up with the lame concept that they would all of a sudden destroy their "Golden goose", some of you dim-wits like the slowpoke I replied to,don't apply reasoning to anything involving the simple knowlegde of how geo-politics works.

Your brain is clearly brainwashed by Al-jazeera and all the other anti west media, or you are just to f, oolish to process the simple dynamics that exist between Nigeria and the US.

Onyocha:
i have warned in a previous thread on the dangers Nigeria faces from western tricks and schemes.all this boko haram nonsense could be a plot by the west to execute their plans in nigeria.the entire boko haram nonsense may be an invention by america to use as a channel to manipulate things in nigeria and cause chaos among nigerians who already hate themselves.nigerians should be careful.

i have raised this issue in my posts in the thread below on page #3:

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?topic=750714.msg9069153#msg9069153

thankfully enough someone just opened a thread warning about the same western drive to dominate other countries especially countries with resources particularly oil:

"Western Regime Change Strategy For Mineral Resources I.e. Oil, Gas, Gold Etc":
https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-746402.0.html#msg9113770

You're a simpleton,the US already buys most of its oil from Nigeria,do you think they would protect it or damage it??

[quote author=okada_man link=topic=754613.msg9109387#msg9109387 date=1315521801]When you finally realize how Young and slow your mind is, i'm afraid it might be too late to correct it.

Stop embarrassing me kiddo. I want to be proud of you one day, work on your mind. You can do it

Now don't derail this thread anymore it's a serious topic. OK?[/quote]The exit door is over there>>>>>pops.Seems you are getting hot under that collar of yours.

Of course its serious,birdbrain, thats why you heed govt warnings and flee at all costs, its that simple.This should be all over local News in nigeria,and there should be outburst not only now but in every situation where nigerian citizens are in danger abroad.this is not the only unique situation.How are there no flights or secret convoys across the Libya-niger border to rescue more nigerians

[quote author=okada_man link=topic=754613.msg9107590#msg9107590 date=1315501961]I don't see why the argument over who is legitimate between ghaddafi or the Rebels concern Nigerians, who cares

The IMPORTANT THING to care about is how to relieve the pain and stop the oppression of Nigerian citizens anywhere they choose to work on planet Earth!!

If we are not killing foreigners in our country despite our own crisis, then we should demand and expect the same considerations from others.

Who cares about ghadaffi or his Rebels. Mtcheeeew![/quote]JJC, where have you been all thses years when china and indonesia have been killing Africans in their country over minor drug offenses.

hilli666:
Alas the genius of Nigeria emerges from his throne to correct insignificant denizens like myself. With such intellectually endowed Nigerians like youself it is a wonder why our country is in the rot its in

I consider it a badge of honor to educate simpletons like you who always seem to never take effort to consider facts before posting their maniacal thoughts on any public forum.

hilli666:
Nigerian government no get back bone. I,m disappointed at Obama who Ghadaffi referred to as his own son, for being so eager to lunch attack on Libya to prove to Americans that he is not African. Like Nolte said "You're not even a Nigger, you're African" He will learn the hard way during re-election. As for GEJ, Disappointment is an understatement. Libyans will regret their actions, they will finally feel what it is to live like true Africans. No power, rampant crime and corruptions, no value for human life. They forget that Ghadaffi was protecting them. Subsidized health care, subsidized mortgages, subsidized everthing. Now they will have to pay full price under the new Western backed government. Oyimbo man go chop all their resources and leave only remnants for them.

Obama did not launch the attack on Gaddaffi to prove that he is "american", dolt.

He already had the Navy dispatch the somali pirates,two years ago, were'nt they African.

He had Mutallab arrested, isn't he African.



Under Obama, the US military has probably incarcerated and mowed down plenty of Africans and Muslims , which im pretty sure would have happened no matter who was president.

Your point is just an epic fail,

Its not a matter of "back bone", bonehead.All governments warned their citizens to leave including Nigeria,and they also flew some back home.

Gadadffi called Obama his "son", but he forgot that he killed hundreds of innocent americans and british in the Lockerbie bombing.

Gadaffi welcomed the bomber with open arms after fighting for his release, .That man should have been executed, Im sure if it was a Libyan plane that was bombed they would have hanged the bomber in public.


Subsidized everything, with no personal freedoms, unemployment everywhere, while the dictator lines his pockets, Im pretty sure you are one of those dweebs who just loved IBB and Abacha .

And no the govt if anything now, is definitely not "western backed", most of them are actually anti-west just using the US support for now.They are all stauch Islamists.

US does not buy Libyan oil just so you know, you seem like one of those conspiracy theorists who just throw random ideas out there with absolutely no research whatsoever.

The US is actually broke now because it did not pay for the Iraq war, which the Iraqis were suppossed to at least subsidise.

If anyone made money from Iraqi oil, it sure is not the US, they spent more than $2 billion a month in Iraq for 7 years, do the math

US is now in $14 trillion deficit thanks to Iraq/afghan war.

I say leave the muslims alone to kill themselves.

Talking about Libyan oil, Why did Saddam invade Kuwait, was it not for Kuwaiti oil??

US does not buy Libyan oil, Italy and France do.

US does not buy Iraqi oil.


The top 5 importers of oil to the US

Canada
Mexico
Nigeria
Venezuela
Saudi arabia

The problem with Islam is the so called "few" control the many

I have muslim friends who wear jeans,t shirt,have no problem with western education,allow women their own independence to work,drive,dress as they like.

Its the radicals who tell the masses to decline western vaccinations,blame women for earthquakes,force men to have their long beards, those are the cancer in Islam.

Muslims have killed more muslims in the last 10 years than the US has killed in 100 years.

Every day one muslim walks into a mosque and blows up women and kids, for what??

Is that the word of the Koran,

hercules07:
@Kabukabu

What is the function of chaplains in the western armies, no religion supports violence, trying to blame islam for the violence committed by a few is wrong, we can find examples in christianity too.
Christianity was spread by conquests and slavery, and please read your history well, territories conquered by muslims had a choice on religion.

chaplains are there for those who are christian, which many soldiers are not, there are many gay and athiests soldiers in the US army

Muslims have never embraced modern soceity,they destroyed all modern science libraries wherever they went, but the funny thing is all the technology they use is Western!

The internet.
Medicine.
Communications.
modern agriculture and genetics.

There are places in Muslim countries where men don't even see their wives faces for years, but they sleep with them and have kids with them, in very dark rooms with her covered up from waist up

Muslims have burned schools in Afghanistan and many other countries for fear of modernisation and western influence.
Same thing happening in Nigeria where muslim northerners have high illiteracy rates.
In somalia,muslims burn UN food aid trucks for fear of western aid!Leaving millions to starve
In Egypt,muslims burned Coptic christian minority churches.
