Some folks on NL are just so naive and narrow minded. How come the real pastor and former governor Mike Huckabee who majored in miracles not win the election.
How come the real Reverend Jesse Jackson never won when he contested.

Now its because of this people praying for him he won, what a simpleton and parochial analalogy.

Let him answer the question Babs posted before he starts to ask his question. Better still he could open another thread for it but he shouldnt run away from Babs question. He accused of running away from illogical questions on like When was the palestinian state created when it is a state they are fighting for.

Foreign AffairsRe: Obama's Speech: Was It Read From A Screen Or Said Off Hand? by Lagosboy: 2:02pm On Jan 27, 2009
He usually has a speech prepared before hand. Many times it is read over and over again and he comes out to say it without it. Sometimes from a paper or overhead screens. No president would come out to do an inaugural speech without preparing it first.

Foreign AffairsMy Granny Did Not Die To Provide Cover For Idf Murdering Palestinian Grandmother by Lagosboy(op): 1:14pm On Jan 27, 2009
House of Commons (British Parliament) Debates | 15th January 2009

Sir Gerald Kaufman (Manchester, Gorton) (Lab):

I was brought up as an orthodox Jew and a Zionist. On a shelf in our kitchen, there was a tin box for the Jewish National Fund, into which we put coins to help the pioneers building a Jewish presence in Palestine.

I first went to Israel in 1961 and I have been there since more times than I can count. I had family in Israel and have friends in Israel. One of them fought in the wars of 1956, 1967 and 1973 and was wounded in two of them. The tie clip that I am wearing is made from a campaign decoration awarded to him, which he presented to me.

I have known most of the Prime Ministers of Israel, starting with the founding Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion. Golda Meir was my friend, as was Yigal Allon, Deputy Prime Minister, who, as a general, won the Negev for Israel in the 1948 war of independence.

My parents came to Britain as refugees from Poland. Most of their families were subsequently murdered by the Nazis in the holocaust. My grandmother was ill in bed when the Nazis came to her home town of Staszow. A German soldier shot her dead in her bed.

My grandmother did not die to provide cover for Israeli soldiers murdering Palestinian grandmothers in Gaza. The current Israeli Government ruthlessly and cynically exploit the continuing guilt among gentiles over the slaughter of Jews in the holocaust as justification for their murder of Palestinians. The implication is that Jewish lives are precious, but the lives of Palestinians do not count.

On Sky News a few days ago, the spokeswoman for the Israeli army, Major Leibovich, was asked about the Israeli killing of, at that time, 800 Palestinians—the total is now 1,000. She replied instantly that

      "500 of them were militants."

That was the reply of a Nazi. I suppose that the Jews fighting for their lives in the Warsaw ghetto could have been dismissed as militants.

The Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni asserts that her Government will have no dealings with Hamas, because they are terrorists. Tzipi Livni's father was Eitan Livni, chief operations officer of the terrorist Irgun Zvai Leumi, who organised the blowing-up of the King David hotel in Jerusalem, in which 91 victims were killed, including four Jews.

Israel was born out of Jewish terrorism. Jewish terrorists hanged two British sergeants and booby-trapped their corpses. Irgun, together with the terrorist Stern gang, massacred 254 Palestinians in 1948 in the village of Deir Yassin.

Today, the current Israeli Government indicate that they would be willing, in circumstances acceptable to them, to negotiate with the Palestinian President Abbas of Fatah. It is too late for that. They could have negotiated with Fatah's previous leader, Yasser Arafat, who was a friend of mine. Instead, they besieged him in a bunker in Ramallah, where I visited him. Because of the failings of Fatah since Arafat's death, Hamas won the Palestinian election in 2006. Hamas is a deeply nasty organisation, but it was democratically elected, and it is the only game in town. The boycotting of Hamas, including by our Government, has been a culpable error, from which dreadful consequences have followed.

The great Israeli Foreign Minister Abba Eban, with whom I campaigned for peace on many platforms, said:

      "You make peace by talking to your enemies."

However many Palestinians the Israelis murder in Gaza, they cannot solve this existential problem by military means. Whenever and however the fighting ends, there will still be 1.5 million Palestinians in Gaza and 2.5 million more on the west bank. They are treated like dirt by the Israelis, with hundreds of road blocks and with the ghastly denizens of the illegal Jewish settlements harassing them as well. The time will come, not so long from now, when they will outnumber the Jewish population in Israel.

It is time for our Government to make clear to the Israeli Government that their conduct and policies are unacceptable, and to impose a total arms ban on Israel. It is time for peace, but real peace, not the solution by conquest which is the Israelis' real goal but which it is impossible for them to achieve. They are not simply war criminals; they are fools.

The curroption in Nigeria is soo messy almost everyone is guilty. The media is a terribly curropt industry in Nigeria, if not for the wfew online publications that publish uncensored news Nigerians would have always been fed with garbage from our local media that have put aside investigative journalism.

Davidylan answer the questions Babs posted to you and stop using diversionary techniques like u always do. Palestinian crises you divert to Dafur, Palestine are asking for a state you say when was their state formed. Palestinian crises you rush to Zachariah to paste prophecies and thought everyone here would swallow ur usual garbage. Answer the questions.

This man is approching 80 yrs old.
He his the same man that was accused of squandring 300 billion of money meant for federal roads. He his the same man that has been on the political scene for abt 30- 40 years.
The road to his hometown of Benin Lagos - Benin road is a death trap and he is rewarded to run the ports so he could embezzle what Bode George forgot to embezzle out of the 70 Billion he squandered according to Ribadu.

Honestly it is only the extermination of this folks that can move Nigeria foward otherwise these people would only get recycled and recycled and put their children there or their wives like Ahmadu Alli.

True to the speculation which has been making the round for sometime, former Minister of Works, Chief Tony Anenih, has emerged Chairman of the Board of Nigeria Ports Authority (NPA).
The Federal Government announced the reconstitution of the governing boards of some federal institutions and agencies yesterday.
A statement from the office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) in Abuja named the institutions and agencies to include those under the River Basin Development Authori-ties, Ministry of Works, Ministry of Transport and the Federal Medical Centres.
Apart from Anenih, the appointees, according to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), also include: Dr Mariam Alli, wife of the former National Chairman of the PDP, Dr. Ahmadu Alli, is the new Chairman of the Nigerian Shippers Council while Dr Roland Oritsejiafor will serve as Chairman of the Federal Medical Centre, Abakaliki.
Others include: Alhaji Abdulkadir Kure, the immediate past governor of Niger state is the new Chairman of the governing board of the Federal Road Maintenance Agency (FERMA); Mr Dumo Lulu-Briggs is Chairman of the National Maritime Academy and Mr Emmanuel Aguaria-vwodo, Chairman, Niger-Delta River Basin Authority.

@OYB

Thanks for the post. It is just absurd how people attach any bad thing happening to humanity to a faith. OBJ has a diploma in theology and increased Nigerias poverty, himself a polygamist , aggressively curropt. Is it fair to now say he his bad because he his christian? What significant thing did he do to reduce almajiri syndrome. Most of the nothern governors of those states were his pal and he never arrested nor prosecuted any of them.

Lets shed religious bigotry and learn to view issues from another angle.
PoliticsRe: Yorubas Littered With Homeless Beggars, All Children And Women by Lagosboy: 2:53pm On Jan 26, 2009
Honestly the level of ignorance and lack of intellectual depth on NL is shameful. Here is a thread that we as nigerians most of us living abroad should have a real intellectual debate on the reality at hand but soo sad it has become an ANTI-MUSLIM thread.

Funny kobojunkie highlighted that he thinks this might just geberate into a tribal bashing and something similar is just playing out. Apart from OYB and kobojunkie i dont recall any sensible input on this thread.

Quote from Earthmama
[/quote]Did I not insinuate this few minutes ago?.  Those that are responsible know themselves. They litter our streets with hoodlums in the name of allah
Tell the Muslims to give up polygamy and maybe these hungry mouths will be able to catch some food
Here is a quote from Osisi
Next to Hausas,Yorubas have the next concentration of Muslims in Nigeria and it must be the Muslims amongst them giving a whole tribe of very hardworking people this bad name.[quote]
Honestly the quotes above just exemplifies the mindset of some Nigerians.

It is true almajiris in the north are muslims but just a simple intellectual research into islam would highlight to you street begging is forbidden in islam. As Oyb highlighted above you have this practice in India, Nepal  and so many poor countries.

Now how can we just insinuate that the southern beggers in the yourba lands are muslims. Rather than us debate the level of poverty in the society here we are dumping the blame at the doorstep of Islam.

Talking of Polygamy - i dont seem to understand when people restrict polygamy just to islam. Our fore fathers had been practising polygamy before any religion came to Nigeria. There are several christians that ppractise polygamy in the igbo lands and yourba lands. An example is our former president OBJ a friend of the highly rated Pastor Adeboye and who has been given the pulpit a few times to address christians. OBJ has several wives and children from at least 10 different women, Diya is a christian and has at least two wives, Bode George has several concubines all around town and he his christain. We are just a bunch of hypocritical people. It is somewhat ok for a man to have 1 wife and ten concubines like many southerners do but very wrong to have 2 wives and no concubine.

What has polygamy got to do with street begging? Are we saying children from monogamous homes don’t resort to begging as well?

“Islam is the problem becomes islam allows polygamy and polygamy is the cause of street beggars” This is the summary of the current trend of the debate and if we can take a minute to be objective it is such a senseless thought.

Poverty and lack of education is the cause and this is due to the lack of vision and selfishness of our leaders and not based on religion in the least. The funny thing is the looters in power are not religous bigots like most fellas here. There are united in thieving and currption but rather than we citizenry should be united in fighting them, here we are blaming begging on Islam. It is indeed shameful

Foreign AffairsRe: Bush Sympathy Thread by Lagosboy: 5:04pm On Jan 22, 2009
Bush and sympathy is an oxymoron.

The guy desreves to be thrown into a zoo - specifically a lions den and let the whole world watch what happens.

People are making mistakes 9/11 is not what made the whole world hated bush rather it was the Iraq war. The war was illegal and death and destruction it brought catastrophical, Bush said " for the enemies wanting to fight us i say bring 'em on in iraq" How can a president say this kind of comments. His axis of evil speech was the begining of his foreign policy problems. Please this man is nothing but a failure and deserves to be booed , pity they didnt throw shoes at him.

can anyone name any of his achievements in foreign policy ?

Afghanistan a failure
Iraq a faiure
Guantnamo is illegal
US is the most hated country in europe under Bush
Palestinan - Israeli issue failure under Bush
Global warming failure under Bush
WTO summits failure under Bush

In fact Bush is just a man form the Bush with the brains of a Bush baby. He his failure personified.
Foreign AffairsRe: Japanes Journalist On Middle East by Lagosboy: 4:34pm On Jan 22, 2009
@Davidylan obviously this is the same jargon you put up in the other thread and accusing me of cowerdly not responding. How on earth should i respond to a stupid and foolish question. Was there anything called the state of israel before 1947? Where the jews predominantly caucascian as we see today in Israel on that land prior to 1947? where there people living on that land before the state of Israel was created?

You fail to remember that all this states and countries were created by the British after the collapse of the ottaman empire. Your arguement of a country called palestine not known before is not just foolish but malicious.

Why on earth does all the countries of the world called those land occupied territories if it is not under occupation. Why are you saying Israel is begging egypt to take BACK gaza. You can only give BACK what initially did not belong to you.

All the palestinian refugees asking for the right to return - where did they come from is it from the sky ?

Why are they asking for a state if they had a state before. You and your foolish japanese journalist should stop typing rubbish on here.

Davidylan has the heart of a stone he would never listen.

A person that said the babies killed by the IDF are Hamas fighters in incubation so it is justified.

A person that said the Israel should kick out all the palestinians and tak eover Gaza and the West Bank. Even the extreme right wing Benjamin Netanyahu would never have the balls to say such a thing but Davidylan is jewish or zionist more than the jewish zionist. Make no mistake in his heart he knows these comments are wrong but the hate in him would forever becloud his sense of reasoning.
