While the problems facing the Niger Delta areas are multi-faceted, the opening of the Maritime University might just be the first step in a long journey towards getting the region back to stability and economic progression.

The same Petroleum minister of state had shown his interest in making sure the institution becomes functional in the past, so I want to believe it's a matter of 'when' not 'if'.

There is something called British English and American English
What does civilisation have do with this?

Thought you had found something wrong with my spelling.

Civilization has as much to do with this as much as 'Welcome to the 21st Century' connotes, which you had used yourself initially so I could easily paraphrase your 21st Century comment into a Civilization one.

Plus, civilization as we've seen progressively since time immemorial is actually supposed to bring about more refinement, more sophistication, a more educated decorum, and a heightened sense of tact and know-how which is completely, i repeat completely betrayed by a shoddy dress sense or to be more exact, a deliberate wardrobe malfunction such as this, which to make matters worse seems to have been done in order to look fashionable.

Okay

Civilisation?

Yea. You read that right. Civilization, with a 'z'.

I know what it means and I know it can be revoked. In this case it cannot. The reason most people on this thread are insulting their mums is because she chose to flaunt sagging breasts. If it had been firm, they would be the first people screaming vaseline. What the woman wore is no more offensive than what the others wore. If you have a problem with it because her breasts is sagging, then maybe someone needs to see a psycholgists.

Darling, I actually intend tto stop wearing bra in future. This is a subject matter I have thoroughly examined . Bra was not invented for decency but to trick people and make women from feeling less inadequate. It is just like make-up. I can choose to either use it or not.

It wouldn't matter a jot (to me) if the particular woman you talking about had breasts of any type or shape, decency doesn't exactly have a trade-off in terms of dressing. You're either (relatively decent,) decent, (relatively indecent,) or indecent. The woman in question and a couple others are simply dressed indecently and that is not subjective to change however hard you try to spin it.

You can choose not to wear underwear and still look reasonable because the other clothing items will cover things up, but if you choose to enter into the publicsphere, civilization suggests you show some respect to everyone around you and yourself by wearing clothes, not hanging outta them.

You didn't have to mention it

Do you believe in rights?

It is legal for women to walk braless and shirtless in NY. . We will soon get there till then you can't tell people what our what not to wear.

Welcome to the 21st century

You toss words around without knowing the correct circumstances in which you ought to use 'em. Rights? Your rights can be revoked legally and can be disrespected informally if you choose to utilize them in a way that's generally offensive to others.

That said, I hope you're already planning to stop wearing clothes at all, afterall it's all good ole fashion innit, and what better fashion is there to rock than your all natural look.
However, there's a caveat: You're totally responsible for yourself and anything that happens to you is strictly your biz.

Welcome to the 21st century, eh? If you had stood up in public to preach against slavery and segregation based on skin colour just about a hundred years ago, guess one of the probable derisory statements the nearest shitbag could have hurled at you. Yea right, 'Welcome to the 20th century'. So, I've found out in recent years that it's usually a statement expressed by a special 'limited' hybrid of cretins and schmucks when they feel pressured. No one really needs to be reminded of which century they're in unless they had just arrived, back from hades. However, some people do need to be told occasionally how bereft of common sense they are, if anything but to spur them on in the search for true enlightenment and the alleviation of their idiocy.

First it was women can wear whatever they want

Now it is sex appeal or indecency

That is the cost of freedom, embrace it

And where in my initial post did I opine that 'women can wear whatever they want'?

Cost of freedom you say. Freedom from who or what exactly? And by 'embracing' it, we should all be civil enough to march through our streets in our birthday suits without anyone raising an eyebrow innit?

I have no issues with women who feel like showing just a bit of cleavage but there is this abstract boundary which seperates 'sex appeal' from outright indecency and stupidity. The women in the first and second pictures couldn't have left less to the imagination without being completely nude.

Good luck to the men who'd have to put up with all these ridiculously unrefined 'public advertisements'.

Can you just look away from that list and look at the message? Apparently i did some research on these names and if 2 or 3 out of 11 names were erroneously added that should not be a crime.

Asides this, it is imperative to understand that in most cases.when a man follows his passion,making money is definitely sacrosanct but the problem is that the level of riches may not be as good as envisaged by some standards.

The message is easy to understand. Its not a crime to erroneously add one or two names that don't exactly correspond with the image you're trying to paint us, but its not a crime to point out your mistake to you either.

Get your facts right por favor. By the standards of living in their times, one of the greatest sailors of all times and one of the most influential and charismatic prime ministers Britain had ever produced were no paupers by the slightest definition of the term. If anything, they lived their lives in relative comfort, affluence and yes...wealth.

Many are mad...few are being attended to in psychiatric homes...even fewer are roaming the streets.

People are talking about how things like this only happen in Nigeria...to the extent of using the US as a reference point. The same U.S. where police brutality and violence is at its deadliest in the whole of the Western hemisphere? The same U.S. where you can be shot and killed by the police (albeit not legally) for saying 'you're not going anywhere' and resisting physically when you're being arrested lawfully? If the man being arrested in the video is being arrested unlawfully, that's a different case which we can't deduce from a 2 and a half minute video as this, however if he was just trying to be stubborn, then bundling him into the van is as lenient as forcible arrests come. In the so-called first world countries, he wouldn't have to put up a struggle in the first place because he'd have been tasered and rendered helpless. The only thing he'd probably remember would be an electric shock. I wonder what the woman that kept shrieking: 'This is a democratic country...This is Nigeria' in the vid wanted them to do. Based on how the video began, I'd guess that the bundling was the last resort. There seemed to have been some preceding dialogue.

I wonder y her fans are angry and blaming her for broken relationships or marriages. Anyone old enough to be in a relationship is old enough to make decisions. Leaving someone because he/she cheated is a personal decision; decision means 'cutting off choices.' This means dt der was option(s) or alternative(s) through which the decision was made. The person taking up the option of forfeiting a relationship cos of any reason shld bear the responsibility and not blame it on anyone. Again, some of these ppl looked up to as relationship role model make speeches based on their personal experiences and not through researches so be careful of who u look up to. Also all those insulting her should just take a break cos u dnt knw their (she and her husby)story; u are not living their lives with them, all u knw is the little she and others share on d media. Take charge of ur life and relationship, be d 'influencer' and not the 'influenced.'

This does really explain my opinion in detail, which is, anyone that is gullible and stupid enough to be basing his/her relationship on what a 3rd party, especially one without a credible, tested and trusted, encouraging history in relationships and their management has to say, then that person probably doesn't have any business whatsoever being in a relationship. And if anyone is married but is still depending on what a spinster says via an online podium on how to deal with the idosyncrasies of his/her partner or the challenges of one's marriage, then that person needs to get tested for toxic levels of foreign cells in the blood that might be causing an acute drop in mental processing and capability.

The average British knows there is no god.

It's not about knowing whether there is God or not. It's about civility, not infringing upon the rights of others, and when it matters, being able to understand when what you're doing is distracting/disturbing to others and having the common sense to stop.

P.S: Can you back up your claims with proof beyond reasonable doubt? What's your definition of an average Brit, how many have you lived with, had a tete-a-tete with, to make you come to deduce that the 'average' one doesn't believe that there's a God? How many churches/mosques/Sikh temples in the UK have you attended where they've complained to ya that they're really, desperately short of attendees? Por favor, i'd like to know.

You can't force people to believe in God or listen to his words or to read the bible. It's foolish to also presume that anyone who's not interested in listening to your unwanted/unsolicited sermon is of the devil and should be baptized with 'Holy Ghost fire'...lest you metamorphose into Christendom's version of a watered-down Boko Haram member (which exists in so many forms already).

Nigeria is a pretty lawless place where 'anything goes', and since we're already ultra-religious, and super-conservative as a people, anyone can try to (often successfully) hypnotise our senses as soon as he/she can claim to be of God.

Regarding the topic, it was apparent that the preacher was disturbing people in the bus. I can't even listen to my on-ear headphones in a Metro bus or a coach in the London Underground/Overground at its full volume, not because I wouldn't love to blast the drivers off but because its expected that you maintain a level of decorum in some particular public spaces (which is statutory). The preacher was even adamant towards stopping his disturbance and seems to have continued defiantly. The man probably thought he was doing the other commuters a favor. He ought to have been bundled off the bus and be handed over to the police.

Once again, I deeply appreciate your insight on the issue at hand but your right up doesn't seem to address the complexity of the Nigerian state. I don't know if u live in Nigeria but let me say this ; Nigeria is a deeply polarized state that is less culturally integrated as an entity when compared to the UK. An illiterate Ibo man cannot communicate with his counterpart from the Hausa north of Nigeria. In Nigeria, tribal interests far supersedes national interests. Northern leaders have this conception that ruling (not leading) Nigeria is their right and that southern Nigeria is conquered region that should do their bidding.
Talking about sovereignty I can boldly tell you that the UK although made up independent States is more sovereign than Nigeria. The better together campaign was able to convince a little over 50% of Scots to vote for a united UK. If that happens in Nigeria be it known to you that over 95% of southeastern Nigerians will vote to leave Nigeria.

Nigeria is of course, a complex state. So is India, which in my experience is even far more complex and still as tight knit as ever (I once lived in one of India's largest states, Tamil Nadu which alone will come close to matching Nigeria pound for pound in population and diversity).
I'm also aware of the differences between the tribes, even if I'd say the North-South polarity you speak of is largely political. I spent my first 18-19 years in Nigeria uninterruptedly, part of which was spent in the North-Central where everybody illiterate or not did business freely, 'communicated' freely, where bonds were struck, partnerships grew, and where life being good to you wasn't determined by your tribe.
Personally, I'd love to see an Easterner become the Nigerian President, but I've gotta say the East doesn't seem to have a united front at the minute. Before you can be taken seriously politically by the whole nation, you have to take yourselves as a people seriously by playing your political cards right, not by clamouring for secession the moment things go awry.
I also choose to flatly disagree with your assumption that 95% of South-easterners will vote to leave Nigeria if given the chance. Have you conducted a random poll involving those people whose businesses, friends, families, inter-tribal marriages, real estate, customers, and whose livelihoods are far flung all over the country? Have you conducted a poll which shows that ALL the minority groups in the states Biafra is claiming will choose to go along with the plan or will you chase them out and relocate them forcefully if they refuse because they're not willing to cast all their eggs into your basket? I will need clear, hard facts as answers to those, and not emotional insinuations.

P.S: If Scotland gets another referendum today, I'd be miffed if more than 70% do not support staying in the UK as a result of them garnering more seats in the Lords and commons owing to the efforts of the SNP and Nicola Sturgeon in obliterating the perpetual grip of the Labour party and their pre-Corbyn reforms on Scottish interests.

Sensible question
The slaughtering of ibos in the north by the northern- elite-backed-vampires in recent years is one of the many good causes. What's the use of a government that can't protect the lives of its citizens. There are many others I can't mention on this forum

Regarding the slaughtering you mentioned, do you have proof that shows that in peacetime and most especially in 'recent times' the attacks by Boko Haram plus any other attacks in general within this same time frame in the North have been targeted only at 'Easterners'?
Furthermore, how do you compare the break-up of a common economic, sociopolitical and historical region which is just a union of independent countries such as the UK to the break-up of a sovereign nation as Nigeria? Do you understand why, even though a referendum was given, the streets of Glasgow and other Scottish cities I believe were filled with more beaming, happy faces when the results of the referendum were announced? Do you understand the negative impact people feared that right-wing politics would have on their country (not region) if Trident was abolished, if a new currency was adopted, if Scotland was to be kicked out of the EU for an indefinite time window, if a visa is required to cross from Penrith into Loch Lomond, if the NHS was reformed drastically, and if the dependence on the oil from the North Sea got to an all-time high?

Away from my questions for a minute...In my own view, a case that would mirror that of Biafra would be Geordies/Cockneys/Scousers asking for a break-up of England because of what looks to be insufficient representation in Westminster whilst already claiming territories which are supposed to be theirs by planting flags in the publicsphere, or Glaswegians openly agitating for a break away from people further north in Inverness, Edinburgh or Aberdeen, or in more realistic terms, the struggle of the IRA in liberating Ireland (not just Northern Ireland) from the grip of the UK which is already quite similar to the Nigerian civil war in some ways.

You should feel free to answer my questions but I'm just trying to let you see the futility in comparing Scotland's referendum to any call for Biafra in Nigeria, and why even some of the most developed countries in the World will adopt guerilla, machiavellian methods in the bid to keep the country together, functioning as a unit regardless of whose oxen are gored.

P.S: Dreams of an utopian state being borne out magically from a decrepit, corrupt, dysfunctional mother state is generally always nothing but blind hope and faith in the grass being greener on the other side. So far that's proven to be correct by history. And as we say in the Navy, when you find yourself in distress at sea, don't be in unnecessary haste to launch your lifeboats because the best lifeboat there is, and your best chance of survival against the raging waters of the primeval seas is always the ship itself. Shalom.

Brother persistence is the key....
My advice is let ibos do this the modern way. The UN allows self determination by a group of people. You must have heard of the referendum in Scotland recently. Ibos have a more justifiable cause to leave Nigeria than Scotland had in trying to leave the UK. Blood doesn't have to be spilled.
Let's face it the north and sw can't stop the Ibos. God has blessed them that's why they prosper in any part of the nation.
Like I said before u guys have more supporters than u know. I for one strongly support the cause of Biafra although I'm from Edo state.

This is not a women thing.

Most people in Nigeria treat their helps like subhuman. In fact everyone tries their best to make sure that those under them feel every inch of being in the lower class.
We have too much ego and pride as a people.

When you talk against child labor, all these people here talking nonsense will be the first to pioneer and attack you. Can't we clearly see that people go for small kids as maids so that they will be easy to treat anyhow without getting any resistance from them? They can't handle adult hells who won't be spoken to anyhow or made to do more than their job description without adequate pay.

We need to change our total orientation. Totally.

Sorry but going by the overwhelming number of cases of the maltreatment of domestic assistants (or Maids as some may call them) which have been perpetrated by women in Nigeria at least, I am sure as hell contains schmucks that its predominantly a 'women thing'. All the cases (which usually involved some violence) I've personally witnessed were perpetrated by women. I don't mean to be gender discriminatory in this sense but that's the fact. The men (Husbands) are usually absent to witness what goes on, and in most cases when present, develop cold feet, are too unperturbed, unconcerned and lackadaisical in their approach to their wives on the issue lest they be accused ridiculously of having an affair with the said domestic help (especially if the help in question is a girl, regardless of her age) or for the fear of having to contend with an angry bear of a woman. That said, I agree we all need a revamping of our classic orientation towards these people who are not in those positions of dependency of their own will.

First things first, i do have an issue with the adjectives 'Independent' or 'Self-made'. I think both terms are often used by people, who are too ungrateful to acknowledge and appreciate the input of other people in their lives, to describe themselves.

No one, irrespective of their gender was created to be self-sustaining. And as Bill Withers would sing: 'We all need somebody to lean on'.

OP, the criteria you used to compare the intelligence or smartness between us and the Whites is deeply flawed.

But all those who are arguing and refusing to accept the fact the Whites are smarter than us on the average, are HYPOCRITES.

Who designed the phone your using at the moment? What of the Internet? Let's start from there. OR are these the truly marks of a people's intelligence or smartness?

Do you mind sharing the credible and fact-driven information database where you got your claims from? Are you saying the US is the most intelligent country based on the IQ levels of the average citizen simply because the World wide web was conceived there? Are you saying South Korea, Canada, Finland, Hungary, Germany and other popular phone manufacturing countries are the most intelligent countries in the world? Based on your deductions, should I conclude that the fact that RIM and the Blackberry brand has been decimated by the Samsung and Apple behemoths indicate that South Koreans, the Japanese and the Americans (irrespective of orientation) are more intelligent than Canadians? Please shed more light on these points. I've rarely come across your level of intelligence and I would like to tap from your sea of wisdom.

you are just speaking grammar..
Black's are smarter. how come we are still so behind the whites?

Define what you understand to be 'Whites' por favor. Is it just skin deep or does it go way deeper than that? Does the higher IQ levels distribution you claim to be 'White-based' extend itself into mixed race people/Blacks born/bred in those societies? Do you have case studies to butress your claims? Do you consider the Chinese, Indians, Pakistanis, Emiratis as whites? And would you also care to explain how being a citizen of a 1st world country or a 3rd world one automatically determines how intelligent you'll be?

Man, so I'm gon need to take a foldable umbrella with the hand luggage if I'm flying in an aircraft?!

I wish to work on board a cruise ship, I have passion 4 sailing n I'd love to see the world.
How do I go abt it? Do I need to get a bsc in nautical sci to achieve this.

You do not need a degree to work aboard an international cruise ship. The crew of a cruise ship are engaged in activities that are as diverse as the nationalities of the passengers of the ship in order to keep her functional (I admit i slightly exaggerated there, but I suppose you get the drift). The biggest obstacle to your passions being fulfilled is that the cruising industry in Africa is virtually non-existent save for a few spots like Cape town and Alexandria where some of the ships sailing around the world might sail close to, or berth in. Thus, getting jobs on cruise liners might be especially hard to get from Nigeria. In terms of the certification needed, you must be proficient, first of all, in a core job that might be required at anytime on board a cruise ship e.g International catering, Hotel management etc then you would also need some up-to-date STCW/HTW certification. All you'd need from then on would be a significant cache of good luck.

If you happen to have a degree in Nautical science tho' especially from a reputable University plus an unlimited operating license from a reputable flag (country), you'd definitely be in a better stead to gain employment on a cruise ship as a deck officer, which is a world away in terms of bettering your professional and personal prospects positively. Wish you all the best. Cheers.
