I'm sure the daddy loves her.

Just at a glance, i am suspecting that it is the mother who is implanting thoughts into this child's mind. It is clear she goes to a good school, given that she loves school and this looks like the kind of Father's day assignment a good school would had out to their students. Also, she is not afraid to write down the way she feels about her father, but a child who was being physically abused would be terrified to even utter the words "i hate my father", talk less of insulting him so extensively.

Also the vocabulary is too advanced for a nine year old. "Extremely silly"? I don't think i know of many nine year olds who speak that way. Plus the girl gives us some clues that indicates that she blames her father for the fights her parents have.

My guess is that her dad does love her but might be a bad husband and her mother uses the child for comfort.

I think our government is too slow, you cannot allow one section of a country to take us for ransom; that is exactly what Niger Delta militants are doing. When we call our self a united nation, we should not allow anyone to take advantage of us. What they are looking for is for government to negotiate with them and started awarding them unnecessary contract. I will advise government to send army into that area and wipe them out. Such thing cannot happen in USA or UK. Why did we allow that to happen in Nigeria? They need to be taking out, that is the solution. The negotiation done by our last head of state end up in big corruption. Let us stop waste our money. Southwest have contributed Cocoa to the economy of this country before oil was discovered, likewise North have contributed agricultural products to this nation without taking anyone for ransom. This nonsense need to stop, I hope you people in government are listen.

Is Nigeria a united nation? Is Nigeria even a true nation in the true sense of that word?

Secondly did you just say the north has never held this country to ransom?

Opharhe:
Yes, i think you're correct. I too am from the Niger-Delta and i believe that a united Nigeria is a better option. The so-called 'Avengers' did not actually ask for sovereignty, what they asked for is the same thing you and i want- a loose federal structure. I also agree with you that the Niger-Delta intelligentsia needs to rise to the challenge. This is a very sad situation.

We can do something, you know? I am still thinking of the best way to go about it but i have resolved to do something. One good place to start is by focusing on educating our young ones, which is why i really hope to serve in the ND. Knowledge will be key to the actualization of the dream.

I have always wondered where the educated youth of the Niger Delta are. The armed struggle alone cannot yield the desired results. What we need is for the intelligentsia to quit being so silent, unite and let our voice be heard. We need a new breed of men like Ken Saro Wiwa, who can wage war with the pen. I am astounded and astonished when i meet Niger Delta youth who are nonchalant about the cause. This is because there is a leadership failure.

We also need a viable plan. True federalism is a much more realistic short term goal than sovereignty and it is a goal that is shared by most of the regions in Nigeria. This is something to protest about, not the removal of fuel subsidies!

These boys have gone too far...

Soldiers too are just ordinary people... why kill them?

Oh no.

Jose556, how much do you charge for a wordpress blog?

Yobo needs to give his life to Christ . I see family issues in the not too distant future.it is not far from money not being enough again and wife disrespecting him as a result. May God give you direction young man.

@ the bolded, that's what i was thinking to myself a few days ago. I hope he has some solid investments going somewhere.

But how do you know he has not given his life to Christ? if anything, he seems like a very level headed fellow.

So Jadekitana actually does have sense??

Never mind.

RaeMystix:
That's an example of African sense.

African sense indeed.

Better wake up and smell the coffee.

"………As a result of the recent events and the other previous similar ones, I have come to strongly believe that we cannot honestly and sincerely continue in this wise, as the basis of trust and confidence in our unitary system has not been able to stand the test of time. I have already remarked on the issues in question. Suffice to say that, putting all considerations to test - political, economic, as well as social - the base for unity is not there or is so badly rocked, not only once but several times. I, therefore, feel that we should review the issue of our national standing and see if we can help stop the country from drifting away into utter destruction…."

You have an interesting argument, but we need facts, live evidence...video tapes...recordings, and I promise we will help u blow it for the whole world to hear, trust me

Instead of you to offer to assist him by paying for his mental examination you are here encouraging him. Continu

I have said it before that we don't respect our legitimate football heroes in this country. Despite the fact that Gerrard in his latter years cost Liverpool several title attempts, when he left Liverpool all of the English media celebrated him.

Now here is a man who genuinely helped put Nigeria on the map, and the best we can do is relegate his testimonial game to the same status (or less), accorded a Nigeria professional league game.

I'm really saddened by this development.

buharisbae:
I'm not into football

pls is it still possible to contest 4 miss nairaland

Hey!! please can you get out of this place??

DropShot:
The fact remains that the security personnel will arrest anyone who foments trouble as long as they are within reach.

The herdsmen commit atrocities then escape; no one to arrest. The people who decide to attack them as a form of reprisal attack don't always get to escape and as such can be easily arrested.So, who loses?

The state govts also must up their games in providing security for their citizens. What happens to establishing numerous, responsible security outfits in the mold of Bakassi Boys, OPC, etc to curb the excesses of these criminals before the FG finds a permanent solution?

if anini the bird has learnt to fly without perching, what must the hunter do?

30 days?? 30 days?? If you are going to threaten to act, then act first and threaten later or keep silent!!

the pain i feel when i read things like this is too much...... Igbo youths should be ashamed. I wonder why the easterners of old had a boldness that the easterners of today lack so conspicuously!! Are there no more Nzeogwus??

Now that you have announced it, you think they won't be relocated?

Very fooolish army of a foooolish nation

What if thats the plan?? Try and read well. The report says:

1. They have been trying to move the girls in clusters already
2. The area has been under surveillance for some time

the implications are that even if they try to move the girls they would be found. what if this is psychological warfare? let me explain:

say the girls are being kept at this arms depot but the army is hesitant to move in to rescue them for their own safety given the fact that their exact whereabouts within the complex might not be known with precision, which means that even in the event of a raid, while the troops would need time to look for the girls, the terrorists could easily get to them first and kill them. also there is insufficient intel to prove that the girls are indeed there.
Instead of risking a potentially fatal raid, the army could instead release some disinformation, indicating an impending raid upon the complex and when the terrorists receive this info, they might judge it safer to move the girls. Meanwhile, surveillance is still being carried out on the area so when the girls are moved the army is still on standby to pounce but this time they have an advantage: the girls are now in clear sight in the open and the terrorists are exposed outside of the defenses of their base. An ambush is set, and the troops move in with minimal casualties.

You think its far fetched? thats coz you think you are smarter than some of the smartest men in our nation. Take a back seat son.

Please change the headline. He was only suspended for one semester and not rusticated. Most folks did not read the article.

honestly. It seems quite typical of nairaland people... slow to comprehend yet quick to be heard

This is heart warming.... i'm so so so delighted....Nigerian football is on the rise!

charix:
She may act humble but all her jet-setting and celebrity-selfie taking ways prove to the average Nigerian that she is way above their level. When she tires of this DJ thing she'd settle into a corporate position as a top-level staff of a multinational company at best or a very successful indigenous company at worst.

What has that got to do with anything?

obi is arguably the most successful Nigerian footballer ever

No begrudging Mikel's achievements but he does not hold a candle to Kanu. That man has won almost everything winnable, and unlike Mikel he played an active part for all his teams.

Listen to yourself. Are cars uncountable?

Lol. did i ask how they counted the cars? I asked who did. We all know cars are countable but do you go around counting the number of cars in any given convoy? It's rather improbable!
