666 IS Becoming a reality when a major nation like Britain have an aethiet at the helms of her affair but then an aethiest is different from a satanist

[size=14pt]The day Nigerians start voting Asians and Whites into power would be the day Tribalism would be laid to rest for ever. I look forward to that day when the best man gets voted for the quality he provides to his/her community and not by his looks, name OR Religion.[/size]

[size=14pt]By using the term Yoruba-American the gentleman could be a Beniouse OR Seira Leone which would mean his achievment would be irrelevant to us Nigerians so poster is he a Nigerian OR a Diasporan Yoruba from Cuba, Brazil, or from Sea Islands just of the coast of the Carolinas or any of the other Yoruba outpost dotted all over the world. Your post is misleading ?[/size]

[size=14pt]Just wondering aloud here, in a couple of days we would be celebrating 50 years of independence. And as far as I know many Asians especially Lebanese and Syrians have being in Nigeria for generations now, how come none of them have not broken ranks into the uncharted territory of Nigerian Politics. 

Are we a discriminating nation who would not allow other Nigerians who are only different in skin colour OR looks part takes in the politics of their nation? The last time someone ever raise his frustrations,  was a couple of months ago,  a Lebanese based in Kano State was screaming blue-murder at the Kano Authorities for not allowing him to run for the Senate. These foreigners OR Asian and European Nigerians contribute to our national economy and should be allowed to run.

I hope the next 50 years would usher in a new dispensation for Nigeria as Asian and European Nigerians would be allowed to run for any elective post they desire.

At least if that happens we would not have people like late Sam Mbakwe former Governor of Imo State who out of despire and frustration insisted Nigeria should invite the colonial masters back to rule us.

What are your take on this NLanders, I know we have serious tribalism amongst ourselves we the indigenous population but then when we travel to other climes and the White OR Asian man does something wrong to us we label that nation a racist nation, looks like we don’t know and like to be at receiving end of discriminative innuendos yet we dish it out at fellow Nigerians without the slightest thought on a daily basis.[/size]      

SE PDP govs are fine but
peter obi guy should respect himself PDP isnt his party

senseless. he might as well decamp to PDP

[size=14pt]Presidential Election is diffrent from Gubernotorial OR Assembly elections. A party might choose to vote for a PDP candidate in the Presidential elections and vote another party OR their own party in the ASSEMBLY and Govs election AFTER ALL the elections would take place on different days.

Voting APGA in the Presidential elections by APGA electorates would only result to throwing away credible votes, you might as well pour water into a basket, so stregically it pays for a party to vote for another party in the Presidential election and go back the next day and vote for their own guys in the Govs AND ASSEMBLY elections.[/size]

Please permit me to get some things right from your post:

1. Does it mean that Soyinka would not see 'a buoyant enterprising Nigeria' because you have assumed he is an atheist?

Do you know what the word atheist means,  well let me tell u they are people who do not belief in God. Most athiest if not all are empty spiritually, the reason why they make the most noise trying to attract an army of God fearless men mould of the same demanour as them.

2. Why didn't the biblical Moses see the promised land? Was he also an atheist?

[b]The Biblical Moses commited 3 sins against his creator and God. Whilst Moses was in the King's palace as a Prince of Egypt he once witnessed an Isrealite and Egyptian man fighting, he out of anger took side with the Isrealite killing the Egyptian. Secondly he got angry when the Isrealites were in the wilderness and Moses went up the mountain for 40 days and Night. The Isrealites thought we was no more and now begged Aaron his 2nd in command to make them gods made of gold , silver and bronze. When Moses came down from the mountain he was angry and he smashed the tarbanicle of the 10 commandments on those fake gods out of anger, God was not impress with this action, that was Moses second misdemanor.

thirdly The Isrealites in the wilderness clamouring for food they where in the middle of the desert, and have started swearing at Moses and God for bringing them to the wilderness only to suffer. God instructed Moses to use his stick to hit the floor once and water and manna would come from heaven, Moses out of anger and despire at the peoples unGodliness and unfaithfulness hit the ground 3 times dis-obeying God. For this reasons Moses did not see the promise land.
[/b]

3. How do you explain the fact that some dead but theist activists like Gani, Chima Ubani did not see 'a buoyant enterprising Nigeria'?

[b]Gani Fawahinmi was an uncle and was not an athiest, I am priveledge to say he believed both in the Christain God, the Muslim God and to some extent embrace our traditional medicine. These kind of belief system is common amongst muslim Yoruba's who are in search of the truth. In Most cases there children end up being Christains when at first hand they have seeing the duplicity of their parents played before them, their parents galavanting and entertaining men of God from diffrent faith in their household is not something unsual.

We are all witness to MKO Abiola's quest to change his fortune after the June 12 elections, when a Christain Man of God predicted that he would win the election but would not be crowned as the King unless he comes to his synagoge for special prayer, but MKO being a proud man,  a staunch muslim cleric and a philantropist   in Yorubaland declined the offer insisting the rituals should be done within his household going into a church was the last place he wants his detrators to see him.

Why can't the pastor bring the Church to his home, the Man of God said that cannot be possible, we all know what happened there after.[/b]

4. Are you saying that living and theist activists like Pastor Bakare, Keyamo, Odumakin, etc would also not see 'a buoyant enterprising Nigeria'?

How can Pastor Bakere be athiest?, I ask again do u know the meaning of the word  athiest  neither is Keyanmo nor Odumakin  an athiest " I repeat for the upteenth time an athiest is someone who does not belive in the existence of God"


5.

Is Soyinka, a worshipper of Ogun, an atheist? Kindly note that Ogun, Osun, Ifa, etc worshippers also believe in the existence of God which is referred to as Olodumare in Yoruba.

An aethiest does not belief in God, if Soyinka belives in Olodumare then he believes in God which would be contrary to the title of the thread which is " Wole Soyinka does not Believe in God" if he believes in God it simply means we are at the same wave lenght,  which I have no problem with but those simpletons on this thread taking cheap pot- shot at their maker over a fallacy they had better repent and desist from  such marauding attitudes, there is always a tendency for feeble minded people to join in a lynch, these internet lynch mob who ARE easily dissuade by writings of grammatically sound individuals but spiritually inept beings should be warned, you are being drag  to a place of eternal inferno without your knowing.

6.

If you say that Soyinka is an atheist because he is neither a Christian nor a Muslim, how would you describe the faith of the people before the advent of Christianity and Islam? Were they all atheists?

Thank you.

If he belives in "Olodumare" then he belives in God. "Olodumare" is God in the yoruba language and the language did not do justice to itself by not clarify whether the word Olodumare is a word for "god" OR "God" , since there is an impasse as to the true meaning of "Olodumare" then I have to leave it to Soyinka himself to tell us which God he belives in, if he chooses "Sango OR Ogun" then he is on the road to perdition.

However people b4 the advent of Christainity in Africa would be exempt from not believing in God, you cannot be purnished for what u did not know.

@BecomeRich

[size=14pt]A Coup has never happened in Abuja b4 and there is no precedent. I think Abuja is fortified by the formidable prowess and the quality fire power of the men and women of the brigade of GUARDS. A Coup in Present day Nigeria would come within the fortitude of this unit.
[/size]
@Dede

[size=14pt]The only reason why u are singing your sing-song praises of IBB or better still tacitly supporting his candidacy is because he promise u an Igbo President come 2015. From the current crop of politicians of SE extraction, I can't sincerly see anyone who can and is eligible enough to step into the Presidential boots, they would be overwhelmed by the magnitude of the Job and probably would be out of their dept.

Also the Igbo penchant of doing " parakpo" OR oneness where a whole swarth of a priveledge family would be giving porfolio's without ministry as a means and a conduit to siphone the Nation dry is not something Nigerians from other regions would want to see play at the national stage.

These kind of politics can be played in the SE geo-political sphere to no avail but to bring such flagrancy into a very public domain like the Presidency might revoke resentments from the same North who ironically are promising u the Presidency. I think it is a poson chalice for the SE region. [/size]

Any man OR woman who do not believe in God is living a life of emptiness and a fool's paradise. The lives of this so called athirst are d most miserable one can think off. We have dat wheeled bound professor who speaks with d aid of computerized voice  blashemy at d slightest opportunity, how many of u would be envious of this kind of vegetative existence,dosen't the prof know it is time to change tack and follow d one and only God perharps his life would be fulfiled and more gratifying than the mere space & meaningless existence he is currently living.

The theories he sincerly profess has not lifted him out of his miserable existence common sense which apparently God gave us would have made him to seek solace on d other side of d divide but alas this invalid would continue living this unenviable & deplorable life spewing out d most incomprehenible theory with d sole aim of populating dat place of damnation, there are no sitting on d fence on issues like dis, like George Bush once quoted " u are either with us OR not".

Wole Soyinka although revered in Nigeria has not feared any better, why people like him would never see a bouyant enterprising Nigeria is because dat is his nemesis, he shall shout at d top of his voice at all d theft by d turn-coats ruling our beloved country but he would not only be hapless to do anything, d fustrattion and the profligacy would make him a very sad man sending him six feet under emotionally, psycological, & mentally drained. Don't be suprise if Eldorado enventually arrives in Nigeria after d demise of this athirst. Just like Moses who led the isrealites out of Egypt but never to see d promise land.

And just Yesterday David Milliburn, ran against his brother for the Labour Party leadership in the UK, 2 weeks ago I listened carefully to both this gentlemen talking about their chances, David said something which made my blood boil, he said it with all d pomp and pagentry " I am an athirst", I said to myself why is a high profile politician like this Gentleman professing such a damning concept is he a recruiting Sergeant for the devil, I knew this chap by issue such a fatwa in public has re-wrote & change his own destiny,  we are d archietect of our own destiny.

David Milliband was & has being d favourite to grasp the leadership mantle then just yesterday we started hearing of an exit poll  putting his Brother ahead. What happened last night d younger brother edged out his elder brother David by 1%, David polled 49.7% why his Brother polled 50%.

What is d moral of this story, well we should be cautious of d hand dat feed us, being an athirst is not cool neither is it an enviable fad, if our eyes can be opened spiritually many of us would realise dat embracing such a stance is tantomount to walking into a hot furnace. Can u imagine men delibrately walking into Auswitz - d furnace dat killed 6 million Jews.

I rest my case and I shall watch from afar how some of us has decided to despoil ourselves by marking ourselves boldly with d mark of d devil - 666.

[size=14pt]Jonathan's asset and Nigerian's asset are inseperable at the moment, one would need a whole bunch of clever accountants to sort this out.[/size]

[size=14pt]Those towns mentioned in that article are little more than a hamlet, what is to be proud off, is it the arrested development that has being the cornestone of this area, instead of the poster to pursue geniue agitation(Like creation of Anioma State) that can improve the lot of your people, the poster chose to wallow in a senseless fable from moonlight.

I think the poster more than anything is comfortable with the maginalisation the area has being subjected to for decades lest he would take up their cause rather than glorifying a people who are no more than servants first to the Edo's now to the Urobohos.

This life of servitude in my text book is not one, one should be proud off, rather it is a shame any discerning man or woman from that area would like and want swept under the carpet. By glorifying slaves u are throdding on un-charted territory your post-colonial masters might find your article offensive, inflammatory and subversive.


[/size]

This is good news. Its either Jonathan or Ribadu.

[size=14pt]I posted this strategy a few days ago, another bulls-eye prediction by Messers KnowAll[/size]

[size=14pt]JEG is probably richer than Nigeria as it is, the Jonathan regime has depleted our foreign reserves, but you can be assured their own personal reserve is in a upward and unrelenting projectile. [/size]

[size=14pt]No wonder some FEC members are jumping ship how can any sane person want to be part of these humpty dumpty cabinet. How do you sell the idea of importing Bins to your teenage kids let alone learned Nigerians.

The buffonery of JEG and his clowns of talk-shop cabinet member are becoming legendary, they are actually giving Idi Amin and Mugabe a run for their money.[/size]

OBJ is an illetrate if there is any truth in this story. Clearly d adult education he got from Ogun State Uni has made him more dumb than when he was a stark illetrate, does he not know d moment he dies d Ghanian authorities would clamp down on his ill gotten wealth like a bunch of hungry termites.

[size=14pt]This idea of State Governments hijacking LG Funds is a misnomer and a cancer that needs to be surgically removed from our Constitution. Something seriously needs to be done to  address this malice that have turned our LG’s into a heaven of depravation, squalor, abject poverty, and penury,  a cap in hand mentality is the bane of this vital institution, they are at the mercy and at the whims of despotic State Executives.  This is not right.

We see these abhorrence in the whole polity from the North to the South, East to West, the independence of our LG is something that should be pursued with a new vigour in the next parliament, Independence on how they spend their funds, what they spend it on,  and whom they spend it on, after all what are Councillors there for, if not to check any excessive and unruly behaviour of the LG Chairmen.

Can we really have a Fashola or Amechi or better still a Bukola Saraki in our LG’s, men who have harking to the yearns of their people and have spread the gospel and dividends of democracy to their respective people and states.

These turncoat and blatant profligacy of our LG Funds is really becoming a serious slight on our democracy and what it stands for.[/size]

Saraki didnt come in as a governor in 1999, the governor of Kwara State at the time was Mohammed Lawal while Saraki only came in in 2003 After Lawal had done a term

[size=14pt]We are talking of Banking rules and regulation prior to 1999, not about Saraki’s regime. [/size]

You should stop posting,because you are sounding more foolish with your defence of corruption.

[size=14pt]It would be wrong and illegal to accept Banking rules and regulation pass down from the illegitimate regimes from 1984 to 1999. [/size]

Either open your history books or shut up. Don't insult anybody's intelligence here. If you don't know about Societe Generale Bank, then you're the dummy here; your post is just incredibly ridiculous, especially when its in large font and so senselessly annoying.

Suddenly, we have !diots promoting corruption everywhere.

[size=14pt]Show us the men and women out of pocket then u might have ¼ of a case, however using  banking rules of the jungle one should not be surprise when all sort of assorted animals begin to rear their ugly heads in that jungle.

One cannot prosecute anyone when you have a land grabs( in this situation a mugu’s cash grab) situation. We can only live within the confines of the rules and regulations of the time.

Pre-dating banking rules are stuff of banana republics, your thinking, attitude and behaviour cannot be any further from the truth from the lesser beings who inhabit this kind of societies. [/size]

[size=14pt]However during the illegality that was pervasive at the time, that is during the illegitimate regimes from 1984 to 1999 any sensible person worth his or her salt should discount the animalistic tendencies of that era.[/size]

[size=14pt]I think they can generate $1 billion dollars, if younger women allowed to protest in the nude as suppose to those old cargoes with drooping water melons.[/size]

Can a true depositor come out and tell us his story, OR is it one of those urban myth

[size=14pt]If nobody can come out, with prove of how much they have lost in the defunct bank, then this gentleman has no case to answer. The high profile case of Okacha losing a lot of money in the bank has being settled. He has got his money back

Secondly we have to note there was no world acceptable standard banking practise and regulation in the country pre-Soludo. Do you enforce today’s new football matches rules on matches that have already being played yesterday? 

Pre-Soludo what we had as a banking regulation was a joke and a wild- wild west regulation where bounty hunter’s rule the roost, and the scalps of mugu’s are celebrated, do you prosecute the perpetuators of unfair gun duels in the wild west of American for the crimes they committed in the 1830’s using today’s standard.[/size]

[size=14pt]I understand a new one came out today and Bill Gates remained the richest man in the world. The owner of Face Book I understand he is now number 7th or 8th in the world.[/size]

n

[size=14pt]The Igbo intelligentsia holds the key to Ribadu’s dream of sweeping the whole Southern votes, because if JEG does not win the primaries due to an alignment of all Nordic forces, the SS who would be smattering over the loss of their son not getting the nod for the most exulted post in the land, and would throw their allegiance towards Ribadu ( Provided they do not start an arms race ). I hope Jonathan would be able to call them to order.

The Igbo intelligentsia would be the key for Ribadu clearing all Southern Nigeria. The Igbo elites would vote IBB hoping the Presidency would be swinging towards their Geo-political Zone come 2015.

It is the Igbo masses and intelligentsia who would stop Ribadu from having a clean sweep in the south. I hope JEG has had enough fun being the President for these few months and would let the result of any primaries stand good or bad.

Although if JEG wins the primaries, then Ribadu would find it difficult to dislodge him, except if the Nordic forces join hands with Ribadu, but would Ribadu want to be in a strange and un-solicited romance with people like IBB and Saraki.

Having said that it would be a Herculean and an almost impossible task in a country like Nigeria for an Incumbent to lose in a General Election, I do not think our democracy has matured to that level yet, I might be proved wrong.[/size]

Studies have shown that locally-produced plastic waste bins are very low in quality and not compatible with the lifting devices of the waste compacting trucks.

[size=14pt]It is a shame a country with numerous rubber resources and other components required to make this bin cannot make a good quality Bin, making importation of such a mundane item a necessity.

Do we now believe there are really a true made in Nigeria Car, like what is purported in the news and Blogging forums.

I hope it is not a case of assembling CKP(Complete Knocked down Parts ) in Nigeria as suppose to actually manufacturing and making the parts.[/size]

Let's go for NUHU RIBADU, let's go for a change we can believe in, not Luck[ weather good or bad]

[size=14pt]The storm is gathering pace, all those pretenders to the Presidency would be blown away and Nigerians, ordinary men and women in the streets would gain hold of power from the little unknown Councillor of a LG to the highest office in the land.[/size]

[size=14pt]The AC and the Ribadu Machinery have to raise their game in Ogun State. I know it is OBJ’s State and we have the Daniel factor and Bankole factor to contend but as I suspect OBJ might be pre-disposes to his protégée Ribadu, a credible and dynamic candidate need to come out for AC in the next dispensation.[/size]
