Kudos to Zaidi the legend. He would forever remain on the record for been the brave one to throw a shoe at the worst president in US history.

Western protesters have emulated him and now throw shoes as well in a symbolic manner.

Shoes were thrown at BBC in london, Embassies in australia and so on.

You called call his actions uncivilised but the heroic act can never be relegated.

Bro Jarus

Make una leave Becomerich o. He his the Yoruba warrior of NL and adds humour to my day, apart from his pictures his writings are absolutely hilarious.

No matter how much they ban him trust me he would ressurect as he has nine lives.

Jarus:
No be sista wey dey interested go talk?

more seriously, spinster-Muslim sisters are rare in NL. First, we have just few female Muslims on NL(Riskie, Mukina,nanayisha,dominique etc). Most are either married or already in a relationship.

Do you know if Riskie is married?

JJYOU:
lagosboy where are you?

Just stumbled on this thread now. I am here but i dont seem to get why u are asking for lagosboy.

The moderator Richyblack should either delete this thread or modify the topic as the topic is a big lie.

@Kaecy

Yes rockets were fired into israel but you do not need to lie to bring attention to your thread. I posted a similar thread and my topic was highlightng the terrorist state of israel shelling school children which was correct - children were injured.

You do not need to resort to blatant lies as no children were killed or injured.

davidylan:
See this blockheaded islamists. Does Israel also have NO right to defend itself from rocket attacks on its elementary school kids? Has it no right to resist the HAMAS charter of genocide? Has Israel no right to resist Mohammad's curse?

Davidylans talk

davidylan:
Seems you lost your way . . . this thread has nothing to do with religious affiliation.

However i will respond to your baseless claim:

Another Davidylan talk on the same thread.

Spot the oxymoron or is it contradiction.

Bastage:
Yeah, great idea. That's assuming that the world is a Utopia that lives in peace.
Unfortunately it doesn't work that way. The people of the Middle East may hate their regimes, but the alternative is extremism. Don't believe me? Take a look. Everywhere that an established regime has been overthrown, extremists have either taken hold of government or stolen a disproportionate voice. Or do you think that these countries will naturally progress to democracy? Iraq is a pointer that they will not.

1. Can you name one example of this country apart from Afghanistan.
2. what do you mean by extremist? If you mean religious extremism now that is relative and a big debate however if a peaople say that is who they want i think their wish should be respected. An example is Hamas the only democratic elected govt in the whole arab world wasnt recognised by the US and EU and this are the same people that say they want to spread democracy and freedom.

Netanyahu is a far right "extremist" and assuming he wins the election and The US said they would not recognise the govt because Netanyahu doesnt support a 2 state solution. what would the world say?

There is one fact majority of the world dont like US impearilist style and the US has to change because in 20 -30 yrs the balance of power most probably would certainly shift to another part of the world.

Olaolufred:
Lagosboy seems to derive pleasure in lies.

I don't know how much fouls he cried on jos holocaust.

There is no Wisdom in this.

I dont seem to know you but could you please mention the lie i stated. It would be most appreciated because i dont understand how jos issue is got to do with this and lies.

kaecy5:
hello lagosbighead

I have never insulted you at anytime before and neither have i thrown derogatory word at you. Of course we have divergent views but i think decorum should reign in debates. The only person throw words at is Davidylan for obvious reason and i would like it to remain like that and not be dragged into insults. Respect begets respect please!!

Now to the issue at hand, reports say they were targeting a palestinan fighter but they shelled school girls. The main point here is children were shelled and their target is irelevant in here as long as they didnt hit him. they owe those children apology for the "mistake".

kaecy5:
hello lagosbighead

let us analyze some of ur facts

1. ur title ISRAEL BEGINS SHELLING of school girls
2. An aerial attack took place against a site used to manufacture weapons in an area of the city of Rafah following the firing of a rocket into southern Israel

did u read this article urself or u just saw only school girls and decided to start screaming- Pevert

How do we establish a metal foundary is been used to make weapons. Do Gazans not have right to have a metal foundary? There is no way of establishing the truth if indeed weapons were made there, even if weapons were made do they not have right to defend themselves as well or do they not have a right to resist occupation?

You talk of me not reading the article and if I had anything to hide why would i paste the link.

RichyBlacK:
Finally! We're making some progress.

My hope is that Barack will break away from decades of childish "I hate you and won't let you touch my barbie doll _{*cry like baby*}", ota akara foreign policy the US has adopted. Adults, not toddlers (like neocons), should be running US foreign policy. I still don't have much confidence in Hillary, but let's see how things play out.

I honestly think Hilary would be a negaitivity on Obamas foreign policy. Remember her saying she would obliterate iran if it attacked israel , that statement was on called for and forgeting that all the military bases and soldiers of US in the middle east are all within the reach of Iran as well.

The problem US faced even before Bush was Americas impearilist approach to the world, Having bases and presence in all continents of the world is not to protect americas territory but rather to meddle with other peoples affairs and that is what the anti america sentiment has been about before the Bush era.

To the muslim world - they hate the support US gives to their evil regims and want a leader chosen by them that reflects what they believe in and proetect their values. Virtually all leaders in the middle east are despots and wicked regimes.

few examples:
Mubarak is the lord of evil in the middle east- Egypt
Saudi royal family a bunch of lackeys and their people dont like them.
Ghadaffi - once a mad dog but suddenly becomes a friend of the US and UK cos he gave up nuclear arms.

The muslim world want america to stop meddling with their affairs and treat them with respect.
Al qaeda hated the presece of US troops in Saudi arabia.
Why is the US 3rd largest naval fleet in Bahrain?
Bases in doha Qatar, Kuwait, Iraq, Bases everywhere in the world.
They even wanted a base in Nigeria, The day Africom is established in Nigeria is the day our country would start having alqaeda and may God forbid them succeeding.

US should pull their bases into their borders and have a more peaceful foriegn policy.
The US should stop supporting leaders as long as they are in US interest. some of the worlds devlsih dictators have or had the backing of US e.g Uzebekistans karimov, Turkeminstans leader, Egypt, Musharaf before stepping down, Saddam,Mobutu, etc

school girls, have been injured by an Israeli air attack in the southern Gaza Strip, sources tell Al Jazeera.

The raid on Thursday in Khan Younis also injured a Hamas policeman, the AFP news agency reported, quoting witnesses and medics.

Israel seemed to be targeting a Palestinian fighter on a motorcycle, witnesses told Al Jazeera.

The raid came several hours after Israeli jets attacked what witnesses said was a metal foundry in Rafah, a town near Gaza's border with Egypt.

"An aerial attack took place against a site used to manufacture weapons in an area of the city of Rafah following the firing of a rocket into southern Israel in [Wednesday] evening," an Israeli army spokesman told AFP.

The military later said that a second missile was fired into southern Israel from Gaza early on Thursday, but that no damage or injuries were caused.

Hoda Abdel-Hamid, Al Jazeera's correspondent in Gaza City, said: "These kinds of attacks cause a lot of tension amongst the people, and there is apprehension that these tit-for-tat attacks could escalate and a full on war could resume."

Ehud Olmert, the Israeli prime minister, has called for a security cabinet meeting to discuss expanding the military response to Gaza rocket fire, sources tell Al Jazeera.

I whole heartedly support reparations. The modalty of payment is for another discussion and people should not use the excuse of how would it be paid as an excuse of it not been workable. I feel the first thing is to establish that reparation is neccessary then the 2nd step is what is the cost, 3rd step is who are the beneficiaries and last step how it it owuld be paid.

This thread should focus first on the 1st step i think. Apart from slave trade many of africa's resources were stolen and there are still african treasures at the London museum, not forgetting ethopian treasures at british museum as well.

cre8tivity:
you people need to be very careful with your post. the one and only owner of good health is GOD and he knows what tomorrow and next year would bring. Yaradua may live longer than some of nigerians who continue to make fun of his state of health. let us be more sensible, more mature and remember that what goes around sometimes also comes around.
please, be careful and make good use of your heads.

Of course he could live longer and i think it is immoral to make fun of his bad health. However the issue is not personal it is the issue of the nation.150 million people cannot hold the entire country to a standstill because of his ill health. He needs time to attend to his health and he his not telling nigerians the truth.

The indian prime minister had a surgery few days ago and the whol of india knew abt his situation and prayed for him. How can a leader dissappear for like 2-3 weeks and lied he went for umrah.

How many of you girls on this thread are virgins in the first place . There are simply not a lot of virgins again except 13 yr old girls. So who would marry them if it were wrong to marry non virgins.

This man don dey kolo o. Was Bush's inaguaration act of the devil?

He even said God told him of a new world order

God told him Nigeria would be great as well and he couldnt tell his friend to stop stealing Nigerias wealth. This is the same man Yaradua in company of Bode George went to visit during the election and he gave his blessings. Now what would he say of yaradua's election now an act of devil perhaps.

Sisters abeg respond to thread na.

The future of Nigeria is bleak. curroption has eaten into the very marrow of our society, the leaders are thieves the followers are rogues.

Xavier.:
Lagosboy per ur proverb

Literally - The rat would rather have the sese (no idea of what that means) wasted than see someone else enjoy it.

Real meaning - To waste a thing that is of use to one rather than allow others use it.


Hope I got it right. Was quite hard translating it.

Thumbs up it couldnt be better than that. OBJ would rather Nigeria go down with a down president than another president to surpass his little achievements. He succeeded in enthroning an unhealthy fellow un 150 million people.

JJYOU:
i would say you are arrogant too.

Could you give me an example to justify the above. There are only 2 people i have thrown insults on NL and it is after i had been pushed to the wall - Davidylan for obvious reasons and a chap called Oladeegbu for his conocted lies.

I have always preached tolerance. The 2 faiths have divergent fundamentals no doubt but there has to be a degree of accommodation especially to move Nigeria foward. The hate in Davidylan would lead no where except formenting of religous crises. I could imagine him saying some of this things in a public forum verbally of which the results could be catastrophic. We should not use the internet to disseminate garbage and jargon.

omo if dem impeach this retarded man e good o. I dont think anybody can be as weak and ineffective as yaradua. OBJ is responsible for this, he didnt get the 3rd term and decided to punish nigerians and show them why 3rd term would have been better. In youruba they say

"ka ka ki eku maje sese a ma fi se awada ni"

Translators pls help me out i cant translate it to english.

Which country this mauntalbi dey. Ha rebels beat una omo dat one no good o. Are this janajaweed rebels of sudan or which one. Kai omo your story go long so tey e no go fit any book o. Na encyclopedia u go write o.

Which desert is in that picture by the way. Is it Algeria, Niger,Mali or mauritania. Men how did you guys manage to still keep a camera in those circumstances.

Davidylan and osisi are welcome and of course they are learning things like jarus noted but the problem is davidylan addressing muslims as a people like " you fools" "islamobots" " worshippers of the devil" etc Things like these are offensive and i believe decorum should prevail. I am not aware of any muslim here addressing the christian folks as a people in this derogatory manner. I have tried to call him to order several times but his arrogance would never let him retrace his steps and grab the civility that has evaded him in quite sometime.

The president has gone on AWOL!!!!!

Yar’Adua has absconded - Senate - Refuses to recognise Goodluck - Legal authorities speak
From Soji-Eze Fagbemi, Taiwo Adisa, Dolapo Ekanade and Bukola Olajide - 28.01.2009[/size][size=8pt]
DESPITE the statement from the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Alhaji Yayale Ahmed, that President Umaru Yar’Adua began his leave on Monday and that the Vice President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, would be the acting president for the next two weeks, the whereabouts of the president caused serious ripples at the Senate on Tuesday.


The Senate, at its plenary session, refused to recognise Dr. Jonathan as the acting president, because the president did not act based on the constitutional provision, which stipulates that the president shall transmit a written declaration on his vacation to the Senate, which would enable the vice president to act as the president.


What this means is that the Senate had declared that the president had absconded and abandoned his duties. Acting on constitutional order, Section 145 of the 1999, the Senate President said, “he (President Yar’Adua) has not done so (inform the Senate). That is why I have not read a letter. In the event he does so, the vice president will be acting president.”


Section 145 of the Constitution says: “Whenever the President transmits to the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives a written declaration that he is proceeding on vacation or that he is otherwise unable to discharge the functions of his office, until he transmits to them a written declaration to the contrary, such functions shall be discharged by the Vice-President as Acting President.”


Raising the Constitutional Order, Senator George Sekibbo, who displayed copies of two newspapers which he read on the floor, of the Upper Chamber, said President Yar’Adua, according to the statement from the SGF, was going on a two-week leave and that the vice president would act in his absence.


Senator Sekibbo said: “What I just want to know is, whether Yar’Adua has transmitted the message to the Senate President in accordance with the constitution. I want to know if it has been done. If we are talking about rule of law, we must abide by the constitution. Last year, speculations abound about the whereabouts of the president and suddenly, he re-appeared and started working.


“This Senate must protect the country and we know that the symbol of authority is the president, so, the Senate must take interest in the whereabouts of the president.”


Senator Sekibbo also raised order 40 (1&2) of the Senate Standing Orders and said: “The president of the Senate shall immediately, after prayers or as soon as any new Senator-elect has taken the oath, affirmation of allegiance read to the Senate any message addressed to the Senate by the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.


“A message from the president, if presented to the Senate by the leader of the Senate, may be brought up at any time before the commencement or at the close of public business, and shall be considered forthwith, or ordered to be considered upon a future day.


The Senate President sought clarifications on the two issues involved from the senators; whether the problem is the president going on leave or the vice president becoming the acting president.


“What is the issue here? Is it about the fact that President Yar’Adua has not transmitted his leave to the Senate or is it on the vice president becoming the acting president?” the Senate president asked.


Contributing to the debate, Senator Sola Akinyede pointed out that it was not mandatory for the president to transmit such a message to the Senate, adding, “if he does so at the moment, the vice president becomes the acting president.”


The Senate Leader, Senator Teslim Folarin, cleared the issue that President Yar’ Adua has not communicated the issue to the Senate President and added that Senator Shekibo only relied on newspaper reports.


Reacting, a former Attorney General of Oyo State, Alhaji Adebayo Shittu, said the Senate could be right in its decision. Asked about the solution, Alhaji Shittu said since the president was very much around in the country, he could be reached to intervene or attend to pressing national matters.


He explained that the president would have contravened the constitution if he had not properly transmitted a written declaration to the Senate. He said, “the president is very much in the country.

He has not gone on vacation, he is just in lieu of absence. He has not handed anything over to anybody. Such acts could lead to probabilities and could threaten national security.”


Also speaking in a telephone interview with the Nigerian Tribune, a senior advocate, Mallam Yusuf Ali, said “since the position of the constitution is clear, the Senate was right to comply.


“The position is quite clear. There is no way you can equate a written declaration under the hand of the president to a newspaper publication. The constitution is very clear on the matter,” he said.


In his reaction, president of the Nigerian Bar Association, Mr. Rotimi Akeredolu (SAN), said in the absence of the president, the vice president shoud act for him by the provision of the constitution. But Section 145 of the same constitution provides that the president should transmit a written declaration to the President of the Senate and the Speaker.


“Since Section 145 of the constitution says he must, then let him go and comply with its provision,” Akeredolu said. Also reacting, formost constitutional lawyer and university lecturer, Professor Itse Sagay (SAN), explained the process thus:


“The procedure is simply by virtue of Section 145. Where the president will be away on vacation, he shoud go by a written declaration sent to the Senate President and Speaker of the House of Representatives. Once he does not, until he comes back and sends a contrary notice, that he is back and ready to resume his duties, the vice president would act as president. It is a formal assumption of duty as acting president by the vice president.


“But President Yar’Adua simply announced. It is an informal way of doing it, the Senate was uninvolved. It means the vice president is not an acting president. The vice president was not formally invested. If there is something that legally requires the action of the president, the vice president cannot do it.


“Technically, although he is the only one in Aso Rock, he is still the vice president and not an acting president. He cannot act as such. If he acts, he still needs the formal approval of the president. The Senate is right.”

Here is a person that said the killings of children is justified because they are hamas in incubation.

This is the same person that laughs when the children are killed when the killer Olmert says he wept.

This is the same person that says Israel should wipe out the entire West Bank and Gaza population and take over the whole place.

Davidylan your hypocricy, hatred and parochiality knows no bound. moyin seriously its high time you retrace ur steps and shed the hate in you as it would lead you no where.

once i get the video on you tuve i shall post it as well. Does anyone know how to link youtube here please?
