₦airaland Forum

salykely:
What about the Hausa man who was roasted by Igbo youth? No one is condemning this retaliatory attacks. No one is telling Igbo people what they did to poor hausa families who have lived in their mist is bad! All I keep hearing in this forum from SE extract is hailing of the governor who even went further to inaugurate an inglorious ethnic militia that will help in killing Hausa/Fulani people in case of crises. A governor who have decided to profile Hausa/Fulani within his domain. Let everyone keep in record the attitude and response of this governor to this incident. If Kano alone should respond in like stupidity, the entire SE won't have the resources to accommodate the in flow of Igbo refugees.
In civilized countries, those who burnt that hausa man to death would be brought to justice. The man was not sentenced to death, he was not allowed to defend himself in a court of law. He was killed by Igbo mob without hearing his own side of the story. Until death, the law of his land presumed him innocent.

We are all aware of d violence that erupted 2 months ago when an Hausa motocyclist knocked down and killed a pregnant Yoeuba woman at Mile 12 Lagos. How many of d Hausas u killed were given an opportunity to defend themselves? What if their people in Kaduna decide to go for Yorubas in their midst? Do u think at all before u talk?

They are all qualified. I will vote for Lere if it comes to that

Even Okwaraji who died in action for Nigeria, his mother was abandoned. And when some Nigerian athletes pledge loyalty to other caring countries, it is the poor who come online to chastise them. Sorry ma, may the Lord console you.

Buhari is on record as saying few years ago that Abacha xid not steal any money from Nigeria. Now he is re ei ing money which he claims Abacha "illegally" took away. He suffers an acute lack of capacity.

TellingItAsItIs:
This is what southern ethnic groups( especially igbo and yoruba) should be doing instead of the name calling and online war.Lets us learn and be productive to each other instead of allowing tribal sentiments becloud our sense of reasoning and prevent our devt. as a people.

May d Lord take away d bigots in both Yoruba and Igbo nations, Amen

Uteghe:
Fayose slaughter infants every other month for rituals to gain love,power and to be feared. His restlessness,loquacity,and bufoonery is a manifest torment from cries of innocent blood.

Who owns those infants? u?

In 1984 during the military era, many people died in prison. The court had ruled that those of them should be released but Buhari refused and instead passed his judgement on them. They died. Today in a democratic era, Buhari refuses to release suspects ordered by the courts to be released. He says judiciary is his problem. Will I be surprised if he emerges the next Chief Justice of Nigeria? Buhari is not the only semi-literate person who became president, why is his case this pathetic?

For the ultimate benefit of those who comment more from their bigoted sentiments than from good reasoning, please read:

1. Obasanjo left in the foreign reserves nearly $40 billion. It should have been more but for the deep seated corruption that he also ran.

2. Jonathan left in the foreign reserves $30 billion.

3. Jonathan created the Sovereign Wealth Fund to save up money from the excess crude earnings.

4. Governors insisted that the federal government cannot save on behalf of federating units. They headed to the supreme court and compelled the government to share the money instead of saving.

5. The minister of finance is an appointee of federal government. She can suggest measures to avert future economic crisis, but has no powers to compel the federating units if they fail to see reasons for saving their money.

6. We all have biases, nuances and differences. Those who comment from their reservoir of ethnic hatred without looking at the truth always catch the tiger by the tail.

Finally, Ngozi Okonjo Iweala is human, like us all. She has her personal issues to contend with but some people want her to heal the personal issues they have in their own lives. However, she is too good for most of her traducers. Whenever she replies them, they keep quite (ask Oshoiomhole). It is fashionable for losers to throw tantrums up at her but it will take some generations for her critics to produce someone of her class. We still have a minister for finance. What is going on there?

This is spot on. Again, let me ask the presidency and its supporters, who presents a supplimentary budget to d NASS, president or minister??

Probably I alone was not fooled by APC's crocodile tears many months ago. Party of criminals

This story and the pictures do not add up

They are poor people, what has the poor to declare??

At the last count, banks have purged nearly 10,000 workers in the last 3 months. Well, some say body language will heal them of poverty. goodluck

I fell pray to this kind of scam 1n 2005 and lost US$300. It was along broad street exactly in front of now defunct Savannah bank. When I meet those guys hanging along the road, all the warning signs were there: they wore white Agbada with cap, one of them had a gold plaited tooth pretending to be Hausas but sounded like Yorubas in their spoken English. They offered me higher exchange from what obtained then so I settled for them. They asked me what denomination of dollars I brought and I told them 3 pieces of $100 bills. One of them hurried off to go and bring the Naira leaving the other behind so that I wont quit the transaction. Traders around there who saw us cast funny glances at me, my mind was asking me, when did Yorubas begin to change money? Plus, why dont you find a bureau de change a few meters away? As I was thinking about this, the guy who went for Naira hurried arrived with speed with another man dressed like him. The new member's hands were filled with so much Naira of different denominations and he delivered them to me scattered. As I made to arrange the money before counting, He said he was in a hurry people were waiting for him at the office I should give him the dollars so that the other guys would stay with me till I finished counting.

I said no he had to wait. Then he said I should let him see the dollars. I stopped counting and brought it out. H e said he wanted to touch it since I am now touching his Naira. Well, I gave the $300 to him, he touched it, I was looking at him, he gave me back. I continued counting the Naira and discovered that it was about N1000 short of our agreement. I demanded the balance and he said that was all he could pay. Quickly I handed him back his Naira and all of them hurried off in the same direction, satisfied. I was left wondering why they were so glad to leave me so quickly. It was not until I got to a bureau de change a few meters away that I got to know why. The mallam told me that my dollars were fake. I quickly examined them and saw they were markedly different from the ones I gave to the guys on the street to touch. Infact the mallam told me he knew what happened to me I should not explain. He said it happened there daily. He asked me to throw the fake papers away and disappear from that environment because those same guys con someone and send police to search the person, and when the police recovers the fake dollars from you, 'oga i no follow' must come out. Its a total package.

As for the guys at Alade, they resume in the morning and leave at close of business. They are so many and you could instantly see they are not Hausas. They are not smart like the ones on the island. A police van filled with policemen is always parked in their midst, so its a game involving the police again. Be careful everyone.

Patience I think, is better

i am suffering the same fraud by PHCN right now. Under the so called promo, as an unmeterd customer, I was asked to pay N15,000 to clear arrears of N21,000 as at October 2012 and I paid. Now I got December bill and the total is N15,800. And we dont get more than 2 hours electricity in a week in my area at Iju Ishaga. Abd my labdlord is pressurising me to go and pay, go and pay, go and pay. Am just so sorry for these rapacious criminals and this inconsiderate old cargo.

I will be surprised to find a Catholic priest who buckles and sings the praises of politicians in their presence. The Catholic Church is older and stronger than any president. Their priests and Bishops are not longing for political favours, large membership, recognition or even gifts of private jets or anything. I like the fire-brand, prosperity pastors though, but I prefer old generation priests and Bishops because they do not fear anyone, neither do they chase after material wealth the way we witness MOG's do it today. They are also able to separate the Gospel from motivational speaking. Indeed, if I were not a Catholic, I will certainly be a Methodist, Anglican or Apostolc.

I have read lots of caveat about America from Nigerians who have experienced it. I think these warnings are true. But would America-crazy Nigerians believe them? I know people in USA who have not com home in the last 15 years, maybe because the flight ticket is too dear plus they are ashamed that their contemporaries at home seem to be doing better. I will visit America soon, but only for business or pleasure.

pDude: Those two old, senile f00ls who are still trying to be relevant by quarter to the grave

Bruv please try again.

i thut senility is ur father's middle name? Is it not a shame that those two are at their age still the most relevant and celebrated Africans eventhough a young fool like u is alive? A billion copies of ur father can't match up to one Achebe or Soyinka. Where do u wanna start??

[quote author=~Bluetooth]Fraud is an ibo thing. . . .I'm not surprised ![/quote]Fraud is an Igbo thing. I am still wondering when Deji Abiola, Ade Bendel, Bode George, Femi Fani Kayode, Tafa Balogun etc changed their names to Igbo. I pity ur low life.

Go for any of the old churches. They have not gone far off what the Christ-like life should be and therefore is your best bet for a true Christian teaching. But you are free to choose the pentecostals if you are ready to partake in entertainment in the guise of worship, if you desire to sit and listen to economics, commerce, financial accounting, medicine, rocket science, giving to the pastor, tithe and all sorts mixed together as sermon by a pastor who tries too much to keep the soul of his audience to himself.

This unregulated business!!!!!

LOL......Someone said he almost refused to open this news for fear it might be an Igboman trying to paint a Yoruba negatively. I pity some people. Pls dont kill urself with tribalism. Sumone still needs u..........not one that I know, anyways
