I'm not convinced about this Atiku/PDP thing. Maybe it's just me wishing the United In Corruption PDP will self-destruct or at least become a much weaker party. My take on this whole GEJ/Atiku faceoff is that those who chose Atiku do not care if he wins or not as long as GEJ loses.

Maybe they are getting warmed up to another candidate from the North -Ribadu? or maybe I'm just a dreamer. . .


Hopefully, ACN Tinubu and Ribadu will grow more balls, work harder and compromise reasonably to get more Northerners on their side. I need PDP annihilated!

Awosika should have stopped when he hit the police car. Too many “enlightened” Nigerians do things that are not so smart. You wont hit a police car in the UK or US and wont stop. The Police man must be brought for trial. All other officers at the scene should me charged with conspiracy to murder.

The witness said he visited the Military Hospital, Ikoyi where he was allowed to inspect the banker’s corpse. He said during the examination of the corpse, he “discovered that the deceased had a hole in his forehead. I saw an entrance wound on the forehead and an exit wound from the back.”

He added, “There was no bullet hole in Awosika’s burnt vehicle though the fire had destroyed the front and back windscreens. There were no bullet holes seen in the rim of the tyres.

So They've not found those who killed Modebayo Awosika?

@Wales, Maybe he was not speeding away, the story here seems to suggest that he was shot at close range and the car was burnt after he died. I'm not certain but, If he was speeding away how come the car had no bullet holes and he was shot with a fore head entry wound. Was Modebayo speeding towards the police car or away from them? how could he do that if he already hit the police car like they said? shouldn't he be speeding AWAY from them if he was trying to run.

How do you shoot someone on the forehead if they were running away from you? was he reversing or running backwards? I'm no CSI but, it seems confusing. .

sisimmi:
U know what? If I introduced this guy to that Hon. guy and some "conservative" members of my family, I would have been under tremendous pressure to drop the guy long ago!

My sister, that is not a good reason to hide a man you claim you love. you should have introduced him.

I'm Nigerian too, I understand how overbearing and irrational some of our families can be. But we are talking about a long-term relationship and Love here.

Like you mentioned and is apparent from his letter,  your BF/Husband does not sound like an Agbero without a future. The confidence you display about your relationship with him and his prospects should have been infectious enough to convince some of those conservatives while you respectfully give the finger to the rest.

I disagree with that reason. It's not reasonable enough but, I guess you know your situation better

Honestly, when we went to uyo, I had no plan to dump him. However, something just happpened. The Pastor asked me and I told him I'm no more interested in the relationship. Before he asked me, he said he had a revealation but would not disclose it until I speak my mind. I managed to utter the word that I'm tired of the relationship. My hope was that the Pastor would counsel, advice and encourage us to settle amicably! That was what took me there. AND, my entire family believes this pastor so well. I completely believe him too because his predictions have never failed!

When It comes to a lot of my Nigerians and their pastors it's not easy to apply reason and common sense, so I will not say anything further about that -you can read my location signature to guess where I stand.


But, if you truly don't love this guy anymore, you have every right and enough reason to leave him. but do not make up excuses that ridicules and contradicts your claim of love.

If you can't stand cheating, that is fine, if he despoiled you that is a NO! if you found a better man, that is good, but just be sincere with yourself about the reasons why you want to give up a 10/13 year relationship.

I cannot give you a definite answer about what to do, except to advice you to be honest with yourself about the real reason(s)why you need to end the relationship. Then end it. I wish you well.

NL doesn't have a means to add to your rep, but am doint it anyway.

-Isale Gangan[/quote]Thank you. I was just wondering though.

my father's friend, who was instrumental to my securing the NYSC placement takes me like a daughter and I respect him so much that I have always wanted to only present my fiancee to him when we are ready to hit the alter; when he has a job.

Our poverty made you live in Gwarinpa. Our poverty caused you to hide me from Hon. …, etc. And that lead us to this situation.

@OP, Why did you decide not to introduce your BF/husband to your father's friend? I mean the REAL Reason, That part of your story confused me from the outset and from your BF's letter, it shows it confused him too.

You would have introduced him to your family or even your father right? I mean it's been 13 years, everybody probably knows him already.

Why did you hide him from that man? Is it just because he's poor? or some other reason?

Think deeply, rationally and honestly about those questions and let us know why you are so ashamed of a man you claimed you love and you've been with for 13 years that you cannot introduce him to a benefactor even though you admitted that the man can help him secure a job.

I'm curious about that detail.

Also, how did he "Violate" you? did he "despoil" you? (Seun and his "Despoil" sef) that will be a game changing NO NO!

BTW, who is this Ujujoan? why is she so sensible? One lady continually posting sensible comments like that is just wrong! you might have changed my opinion about this section of NL.

I wonder why "Pasitor" no give advice like Ujujoan, Naijas and their pastors sef

^^ ROFL

^^ Because they are ordained agents of Allah?

Omenani:
Aren't clans actually another name for tribe? Many African societies are still clan based. You find that among the Native Americans and some Middle Eastern ethnic group. For example, Arabs are an ethnic group, but they are made up of different tribal/clan loyalties. As we progress and lose our clan identity, then will not have to focus on tribe.

Correct me if I am wrong.

No! You cannot call many African people "clans" No! Most modern African societies are not clan based, clans are smaller than tribes. Some will argue that clans do not even marry amongst themselves, that is how limited the scope of that word is.

We need to learn how to read between the lines and quit buying into the racist word usage of westerners, especially those who still see themselves as a superior group of people.

Clan in context refers to a smaller section of a tribe, that to my mind makes it worse than tribe when referring to my Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa, Ijaw and other peoples.

Just call them "people" the Igbo people or Yoruba people is sufficient for me. It should be for those westerners too but, unfortunately, they want to feel superior.

I have taken my time to read the responses of almost everyone on these thread, i want to say specifically dat we all hv a point in one way or the other,personally i was tempted to draw a conclusion last week but something held me back to actually dig further and see her so called side of the story alas silverbird tv helped out last nite,silverbirdtv was able to prove to its viewes on its 7p.m news bulletin that the video makin the rounds from the lagos speaker end was doctored,according to ufuoma's lawyer they had a chap who recorded d incident for as much 49mins(still searching the web for d video) both video were played side by side by silverbird and that way i drew my conclusion,she was actually beaten infact the while the second tape was rolling i saw instances where the security details attached to d speaker chased other ppl who had their cameras rolling,d second recordin was way different from wat we hv been seein around.ufuoma's lawyer told silverbirdtv dat de have about 12 witnesses who are ready to testify in court against d speaker,who had different recordin btw point A and point B.
one thing i kn for sure is dat ufuoma's outrage will not work in a society where law and order functions but in 9ja her attitude will work (thou am not in support of her outrage) but without dis outrage definately her story could hv been swept under.can we take our minds back to d issue of d naval officer who beat up a gurl on d island and even strip her unclothed(https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-191814.96.html)?dat stori came to light jus because someone did a good recording and got it on CNN i-report,will any of us feel better if our loved once gets beaten in dis manner and even striped unclothed lik d naval rating case?let us cast our mind back again to anoda naval rating who also beat up a guy in portharcourt (http://www.punchng.com/Articl.aspx?theartic=Art201010281531931)
let us endeavour to find out the other side of such stories in the future b4 drawing conclusion and in whatever we do let us try as much as possible to avoid such drama with any the nigeria security agencies. this is my take.

Please post the video or a link to it when you find it.

This is the kind of campaign Akunyuli should champion, instead of railing against 'Naija'

She should draw up guidelines to be followed in primary and secondary schools, and in the creation of Common entrance exams, neco and waec to eradicate some of this colonial baggage. Pass this along to the ministry of education to execute, and save the next generation from the self-humiliation that we have been forced to engage in thanks to ill-advised colonial habits.

Tribes, indeed. what rubbish.

Unfortunately, Dora and her ilk in government may never do that. They lack the ability to think or plan ahead. Their collective thought process can only accommodate about a few moments of impulsive need, which is why they make silly shallow comments everyday.

When it comes to this generation of Nigerian leaders, Thinking about the future is not their forte, it has never been, it probably will never be.

No comments on this Juju busting helmet?

Very few things excites me more than seeing Naija's create unique solutions to Nigerian Problems.

It's not perfect and we shouldn't be using Okada as a mass transit tool in the first instance but, it's good thinking on Mr Ibuzo's part

I think the Business Board Mod should get this on the Front Page.

Continued

The biggest city in sub-Saharan Africa is a cosmopolitan place, home to millions of Christians and Muslims, renowned musicians and artists, and professionals commuting to work in designer clothes. But the fear of juju isn't new here, and product roll outs have been tricky. Indomie, now the market leader in instant noodles, was at first rumored to contain worms from Asia. When condom distribution drives picked up in the 1990s, talk was that men using them would vanish. And when mobile phones became popular, some said certain numbers meant a person was going to die.

Mr. Ibuzo has the law on his side, however. In early 2009, Lagos enacted a traffic regulation that requires passengers on Nigeria's motorcycle taxis, called okadas, to don helmets. Despite efforts at enforcement by city officials and traffic police, most passengers refuse to wear them out of concern about juju—or because of germs.

Aside from preventing unwelcome mingling with the supernatural, Mr. Ibuzo says he's concerned about improving safety, too. Last year, he witnessed an accident that killed a young man who wasn't wearing a helmet while riding on the back of an okada.

Roughly 2,500 people died in okada accidents in the first half of 2010, according to the Federal Road Safety Commission, though many believe the actual number is much higher.


LAPA GUARD CAP

To persuade people to wear protective headgear, Mr. Ibuzo created the hygienic cap but struggled to manufacture the product. Banks wouldn't lend to a small, unproven business; the cost of running the operation was high in Nigeria, where electric power is erratic and most companies depend on diesel-powered generators; and Chinese factories wouldn't make his caps in small quantities.

Eventually Mr. Ibuzo used his own money, and after a trip to Suzhou, China, found a factory with experience making surgical gowns and caps. The first shipment of one million Chinese-made caps arrived in May.

That's when Mr. Ibuzo confronted an unanticipated challenge. He had to convince customers that his caps could protect against—and not cause—juju. Mr. Ibuzo started a grassroots publicity campaign that included radio advertisements stressing the absence of juju in his cloth cap.

Juju is widely feared in Nigeria and throughout West Africa, but that isn't commonly acknowledged among city sophisticates.

"Some people blame juju [for bad things], others don't. But juju is real," insists Israel Alofohkai, an okada union secretary in the Onigbongbo area of Lagos, who has started selling Mr. Ibuzo's caps. "It's very rampant."

To reach as many customers as possible, Mr. Ibuzo is cooperating with the powerful okada unions of Lagos. Okada riders are natural partners for Mr. Ibuzo's company, because they ride into every small corner of the city and because they, too, have struggled to convince passengers that helmets are not juju objects.

"They said if you wear [helmets], some people do disappear or get a headache or they'll take your luck," said Femi Prince Fasehun, an okada union representative. "But it's a lie. It's a lie. If they don't wear them, the police will arrest us, and we'll be the ones who have to pay."

Thousands of passengers ride okadas every day through the chaotic streets of Lagos. Some passengers use their own handkerchiefs underneath the helmet. Others hold the helmets above their heads to pass muster with the traffic police. Still others refuse to wear helmets at all.

On a recent sweltering day, sales rep Mercy Obi picked up a box of caps and walked into the Ketu neighborhood of Lagos to make some sales. She says she tends to avoid extolling the caps' use against juju because she doesn't want to be responsible if something does happen.

"We don't tell them about rituals and juju because they might believe us and it might still not work," Ms. Obi said.

Prince Olukosi, a civil servant, bought two Original Lapa Guard packs from Ms. Obi for family members. "It's for hygiene, and safety," Mr. Olukosi said when asked why he had bought them.

Even juju skeptics are welcoming the head caps.

"Anything that will remove rumors, that will encourage people to be safe," says Kayode Opeifa, the special assistant on transportation to the Lagos State government, who has been charged with enforcing the helmet law. "For me it makes my job easier if there's something that can stand in between to those who believe [in juju]."

Either way, Mr. Ibuzo's start-up is gaining traction. Half of the first shipment has already been sold.

Though Mr. Ibuzo says concerns surrounding juju-laced helmets will fade over time as they have with other products in Nigeria, some of his sales people are striking while the issue is hot. At a party last week, Adewumi Momoh, a marketer working for Mr. Ibuzo, hired the emcee of the event to talk up the Original Lapa Guard. "He would say, 'Somebody disappeared yesterday. You want to disappear? You want craw craw [infection]?' People said, 'Nooo!' so he says, 'Come, buy this thing.' And they rushed to buy it."

Wall street Journal

By WILL CONNOR

LAGOS, Nigeria—This megacity's motorcycle taxis are so dangerous that local hospitals have special orthopedic wards meant just for people who have suffered accidents while riding them. So you'd think a law requiring passengers to wear helmets would be well received.

But it turns out that, for many Nigerians, the only thing scarier than a motorcycle taxi is a motorcycle helmet. Many people refuse to wear them out of fear of juju, or supernatural powers. Some fret that previous passengers may have put nefarious juju spells on the helmets to steal someone's good fortune, or to make a person disappear in order to be used in a sacred ritual, say motorcycle taxi drivers and passengers.

"Our people are quite superstitious about anything dealing with their head," says Ralph Ibuzo, a 43-year-old architect whose closely cropped hair is beginning to gray. "People believe that if you put on a helmet, [others] can take away your brain, or your good luck."

So Mr. Ibuzo created the "Original Lapa Guard," a cloth cap that he claims can protect wearers from disease and sudden disappearance. The cloth provides a thin layer of separation between the head and a helmet full of potential trouble.

Can someone pls summarize that interview, preferably in one or two sentences?

Here it is:

I'm that single living slowpoke who contributed the most to the rot in your country. I'm coming back to ensure my rotten legacy continues because I'm certain you are too foolish to stop me. Laughter Laughter

grabdbull:
Recently, there were bomb blasts at the venue of our independence anniversary celebrations and accusing fingers were pointed in your way. Why did you bomb Nigerians?

"That is Nigeria for you. We lack imagination."

"Because we are intellectually lazy. There is always a solution. We can’t do anything."

"Here, nobody does anything. What we need here, and that was what I emphasized, was for our youths to tailor their aspirations along particular lines."

"But look at the typical lazy Nigerian."


Words on Marble from IBB. This man never fails to tell us exactly what he feels about our great Country. You can see the light in which he regards Nigeria and Nigerians. This is straight from the horse's mouth, people.

I think my IQ dropped substantially after reading that shyyyte.

You are right, this guy spoke about my people in such a condescending manner all through this interview that Joseph Conrad and King Leopold would've been so proud of him.

What's up with all the laughter and LOLing though? Is he retarded or just a nervous liar?

And they call this guy genius? SMH

blacksta:
Dont get excited - This is another report from another paper

ABUJA — Former British Prime Minister, Mr Tony Blair, Wednesday, declared that world leaders and the international community were fully behind the re-emergence of President Goodluck Jonathan as Nigeria’s next President come 2011.


He noted that the decision by JP Morgan, one of the world’s largest banks, to upgrade its representative office in Nigeria to a full-scale branch was a v[b]ote of confidence in Nigeria and the Jonathan administration.[/b]

http://www.vanguardngr.com/2010/11/2011-world-leaders-are-behind-jonathan%E2%80%94-blair/

Try to do some closer reading before jumping into conclusions.

Vote of confidence in the present administration (whatever that means) does not translate into support for Jonathan in the 2011 elections. Quit trying to get ahead of yourself. It's that Critical Thinking Stuff I mentioned ealier. . .

Re-read the All-Africa report and show us where Blair said he supports Jonathan's 2011 electoral bid. That Vanguard report is sloppy journalism and was definitely carelessly worded. I saw it before I went to All-Africa to copy that link.

Check Business day also--> http://www.businessdayonline.com/NG/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=16185:blair-affirms-international-communitys-support-for-jonathan-administration-&catid=171:national&Itemid=617

You should've first asked yourself why their reports and deductions are diffrent? Again, that critical thinking thing I mentioned.


Blair said these words? ----> "I am fully behind the re-emergence of Goodluck Jonathan as the Next President of Nigeria"   Really?

Blair, as an adviser to a Business entity is probably not that dumb to pick political sides publicly in a foreign election where primaries have not even been held, else I will personally demand they fire him from his job

I don't think Dimon is that dumb even if Blair is.

You are the excited one!

tensor777:
As usual you sound VERY VERY confused and morally ambivalent. What's it with all these irrelevant arguments you are bringing up. Her gender, her ethnicity or what have you. Now its the existence of  convoys
Does any of that excuse or exlain her totally uncouth deranged behaviour??
In fact this incident shows that the police still lacks professionalism. In any Western country she would have been arrested charged and locked up for disorderly behaviour.

I usually don't reply people like you on NL, but I will indulge this time.

As usual you sound VERY VERY confused and morally ambivalent.

As usual? Morally ambivalent ? I'm glad I've made some impression on you to force such a weak psycho-analysis of my NL persona. I think YOU are confused by some of my well thought out and nuanced responses here.

I will advice you to take a pen and paper and make notes everytime you see my posts. What you refer to as 'Moral Ambivalence" might just be an opportunity for you to learn that the world is not black and white, that there are shades and hues of grey in between and opinions should reflect that when necessary.

Does any of that excuse or exlain her totally uncouth deranged behaviour??

I didn't know it's a crime to scream and argue loudly with someone who hit your car in traffic.

I'm also not aware that we have well enforced insurance rules on how to exchange information between both parties in a traffic incident, My guess is we don't and if we do, the chances of getting any verifiable information linked to a decent well maintained database in very slim, hence she did what she had to do in a "jungle, lawless environment" so as not to get cheated. An ordinary "Fender bender" situation dey cost money.

I do not know if she is deranged, frankly I do not care.

In fact this incident shows that the police still lacks professionalism. In any Western country she would have been arrested charged and locked up for disorderly behaviour.

What's it with all these irrelevant arguments you are bringing up. Her gender, her ethnicity or what have you. Now its the existence of convoys

You are right. Our police lack professionalism, you made an allusion to that ealier, which is why I'm wondering about the thought process that led you to refer to my criticism of the police and their frequent use as "PILOT" for politician's as "irrelevant".  I disagree sir, It's absolutely central to this issue.

Now, I believe she might be arrested in serious societies for disobeying police orders, but those are probably societies where the police are well trained professionals, societies where Police do not blatantly act as proxies and Mai-guard for Legislators, Societies where this lady will be certain that she can get respect, exchange verifiable insurance information quickly and be highly assured of a reasonable level of justice no matter the status of the other party.

BTW, Your Pro-establishment stance on issues is not lost on me too.

I thought this was posted earlier on NL, anyway my take on it remains the same.

We need more facts. But, I'm disgusted by some of the sexist remarks made at the start of that video and on the 234next site about this lady.

What can you do? are you a witch ?

That's why they cannot marry

She wanted to be beaten

People really think that? as in she wanted to get millions from the Police? have they paid the ones they awarded to that girl beaten up by Naval ratings?

Who wakes up wishing the Police will beat them up in Nigeria?

I believe we just disrespect women too much. Even if she is a LovePeddler, So what?
She deserves to be heard in this situation and she sure made herself heard

What do you do in a society where you grew up to see nothing but oppression from people in power? especially oppression against women, she is clearly out-numbered, angry and scared despite all the "I be Urhobo girl" facade

I know we need more facts, but this looks like a one sided video and it shows signs of editing.

I do not trust the Nigerian Police. As far as I'm concerned they are guilty until proven otherwise -I will allow myself that much subjectivity when it comes to the Nigerian Police.

BTW, I still wonder why ordinary legislators need a Police Convoy anyway, we need our police to spend more time stopping crimes rather than acting as private assault dogs for useless politicians.

I believe the story would've been different if the police was an impartial party/observer rather than one doing "PILOT" for state politicians.

These laggards need to quit wasting money on meaningless official perks and fund Education, provide housing or just give loans to small businesses. I digress

The Police chief in the video acted properly IMO though, he impressed me, more reason why we need to train and educate them better.

ALL I WANT TO KNOW IS:

When will Dora (Madam Re-branding) come on NTA to issue a strongly worded condemnation of this fool called Amos Adamu and tell us how many years government prosecutors will demand he spend in Kirikiri?

Abi re-branding no reach Corruption, Bribery and International humiliation issues?

I dey wait for Dora to speak. . .

appletango:
ok. i've already said this once on this thread but i'm going to say it AGAIN for you idiots at the back of the class. you can only judge a man by what he actually says and not what some brain dead, semi-illiterate bush journalist has come up with. so, for the second time, and without further ago, HERE is what Mr Blair actually said:

"Everyone including the international community are expressing great deal of interest, great deal of excitement for the elections and everyone is anxious for the elections to be conducted in the best possible way."

“I think all the preparations are there and there is a lot of expectations and home around Nigeria which is a great thing. Back in the west things are pretty difficult politically, difficult economically, there is a hugely enhanced interest in Africa and in Nigeria so everyone is kind of working and rating. There is a lot of hope and excitement."

That's it. Nothing more. Now tell me, where is the endorsement? he was simply talking about how the international community it hoping that GEJ can conduct free and fair elections. But yet you guys like to build clouds in the sky and then argue about it.

Seriously, no wonder this country has been despoiled and pillaged for the past 100 years. Its because the population is too dumb believing everything that is written and said.

Yam heads. And this is the second time I will say this!

I totally understand your frustration.

I saw your admonition on page 1 and I won't be shocked if you have to do it again.

While it may be true that Blair, JP Morgan or a foreign entity can support or take sides in the Political election of an African country, It should be obvious to any discerning observer or reader that such foreign parties will most likely not make their support open and clear in this manner -calling a press conference while declaring support for one candidate.

Blair is employed at JP Morgan as an Adviser, the more reason why it will be foolish for him to make a public statement that will show he supports a Nigerian candidate over another like some of the posters here are suggesting.

A lot of our NL folks don't read the contents of these threads before posting, talk less of applying some level of critical thinking to understand or critique what they've read. That is why we will always have Kings and Pawns in this political chess games.

The internet is such a "wonderful' thing

Good! One down, plenty more to go.

Rossike and Beaf, keep teaching them. there is hope for my people.

Some folks are now saying Adefarasin was quoted out of context.

I sincerely hope that is true. He needs to release a clarifying statement because utterances like these are particularly dangerous for us in the southwest were millions of us have families split 50/50 between Muslim and Christian believers with an enviable history of togetherness -Something I believe the world needs to research and emulate. (Clue: the Irunmoles don't hate )

I hope Adefarasin is not buying into the political and religious bigotry of his American pentecostal friends, we need to quit voting for bad leaders period! and educate our overly religious population on the need for critical thinking.

This kind of talk, if true, will bring nothing but further chaos and suffering to my people. I expect Adefarasin to understand that.

Religious bigotry is an unfair and immoral campaign strategy. It is also not an effective public policy for a country like Naija.

Adefarasin goofed!

@OP ha! fresh air, There are more of us than I thought. . .

Keep teaching them. Next, we need to get those racist foreign embassies to remove the word from their condescending forms, if you don't ask Italians what tribe they belong to why are you asking my people?

Adefarasin lost me at "Nigerians used to be the most educated people in the world" Why lie?


Religious Bigotry will never be an effective public policy for Nigeria,

I hope he will deny this statement or apologise for it,

I'm ashamed of Adefarasin. . .

Wiki entry on the Rationale behind Flora Shaws Christening of "Niger-area"

In her essay Shaw was making a case for a shorter term that would be used for the "agglomeration of pagan and Mahomedan States" that was functioning under the official title, "Royal Niger Company Territories". She thought that the term "Royal Niger Company Territories" was too long to be used as a name of a Real Estate Property under the Trading Company in that part of Africa.

Na our people she call pagan so o.

She referred to our lands like some mere "Real Estate" property for her shaggin partners  

And Dora con dey foam for mouth because of that name? Mtcheew!

We've created our own shorter term!
