PoliticsOn Biafra And Secession By Dipo Oyeleye by Lateralmaths(op): 8:43am On Nov 24, 2015
Why is there so much resistance to a region clamoring to
break away from the colonial arrangement called Nigeria? In
a democracy, such protest to secede shouldn't be a reason
for rolling out drums of war. They have the right to ask and
their agitation should be addressed with all seriousness by
the federal government.
I understand that history is not that simple but when the
past intrudes the present with a threat to the future, we
should all pay attention. It should be clear to all now that
the leg of the civil war, hurriedly buried by General Yakubu
Gowon's "no victor, no vanquished," is now sticking out to
threaten our fractured national unity. Nnamdi Kanu's
agitation on Radio Biafra is worrisome but the substance of
the call to secede is not something the government should
treat with a kid's glove.
Need I remind us that this is not a military regime?
Threatening Igbo people with another civil war is not the
right way to deter them. I think it is cruel to think that
threatning the region with war should be the only argument
against a people desiring to become an independent entity.
There are other democratic processes that could determine
that. Nnamdi Kanu does not speak for the entire Eastern
region but he is a voice of many who believe that
successive governments have marginalized them since the
civil war. If the South East, as a geopolitical zone, decides to
break away, there is a simple bloodless solution to it. The
government should propose an Independence referendum. If
people in the region are allowed to vote themselves in or out
of Nigeria, there would be no bloodshed. My prediction,
however, is that the fear of the unknown might make a lot of
Easterners to vote against it and that would lay future
agitations to rest. And if they vote in favor of breaking
away, the rest of the country should let them. Each
geopolitical zone can decide to remain a part of Nigeria or
become another country. Each region is capable of
restructuring and surviving independently. I see no reason
for compelling the region to remain an integral part of the
nation.
I know someone reading this would say that it's not that
simple. I agree. It isn't but it is possible. It is possible for
the country to break into independent sovereign nations
without bloodshed but those who are benefiting from the
current arrangement will never wish to loose their grip on
power. That's why the Governors and the political class in
the concerned region are not the ones fighting for Biafra.
The late Odimegwu Ojukwu's military ambition to secede is
an individual effort that plunged the entire region into the
stark reality of war but an Independence referendum would
represent a collective wish of the people to either stay or
leave the union.
Agitation for Biafra should not be taken with levity. The
agitators should not be scorned, derided and disregarded as
unimportant and non-threatening. Doing that would mean
underestimating the impending and potential damage they
are capable of wrecking on the security of lives and
properties across the nation. Those clamoring for secession
have a right to ask under a democratic society. Granting
them the right to choose whether to stay or leave is the
responsibility of the government.
With the pending lawsuit and detention of Nnamdi Kanu, the
Buhari administration is in a tough spot. Convicting the man
for treason, which carries death penalty, could be the
nuclear bomb that will plunge the country into another form
of militant insurgency. We must understand that he has
followers who still believe in Biafra. The huge base of
Biafrans, supporters and opportunists alike, might lead to
armed resistance against the rest of the country. The
Federal government should not make the mistake of turning
Kanu into a martyr. That would make him an idea and ideas
live longer than those who propound them. We have Boko
Haram as an example. This matter should be handled
delicately before it would get out of hand.
A democratic dispensation is different from a military
dictatorship. The government must find a means to ensure
that this issue is treated with utmost care. It is also a time
for other zones in Nigeria to debate the Nigerian question.
What do we stand to lose or gain as a nation if the South
East should go? What is the endpoint of the Biafra project
and why must any region be compelled to remain a part of
the colonial marriage called Nigeria?

https://olivemums./2015/09/30/the-idahosas-journey-to-parenthood/

During the first year of our marriage, pregnancy didn’t
happen like I expected. Subsequently, I convinced my
husband to go with me for a fertility check-up. He
thought it was silly because he was so sure that we’d
have our kids. Eventually, just to pacify me, we went for
the check-up.
To our surprise, they did all the testing and came back
to us with tormenting news. They told us that both he
and I had very serious fertility issues and that we would
never be able to have a child without In-Vitro
Fertilization (IVF). The Doctor looked at us both in our
eyes and told us that we are 99.9% infertile.
My world felt like it crashed down on me. It was a
journey I never expected to undergo. My husband on the
other hand had steadfast faith and kept reassuring me,
saying, “We will have our children! God promised it, He
will do it!”
Following the logical path of thinking, we decided to
embark on the journey of IVF. The next year, we
gathered our money together from some investments we
made before marriage and went for our first treatment.
After $25,000, injections, surgery and so many stories
that ought not to be told, we did our first embryo
transfer. 2 weeks later, so full of hope, we went back to
see if we were pregnant and my world crashed again; it
didn’t work...

So why did man have eat of the tree to have knowledge of good and evil?
Christianity EtcDid God Create Conscience In Man? by Lateralmaths(op): 8:29am On Sep 13, 2015
Good morning Nairalanders.
Conscience is the inner sense of what is right or wrong in one's conduct or motives, impelling one toward right action:

Genesis 2:16-17 KJV
And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: [17] But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.


Genesis 3:3-5 KJV
But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. [4] And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: [5] For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

From the bible passage above we can see that man had no knowledge of good and evil until he ate of the tree.

what do you think,did man have a conscience when he was created?

PoliticsINTOLERANCE- President Buhari Orders Closure Of Aso Rock Villa Church by Lateralmaths(op): 1:14pm On Sep 03, 2015
President Muhammadu Buhari has moved
against Christian religious activities within the
precincts of the Aso Rock presidential villa, a
source familiar with the matter has disclosed to
The Trent.

The Aso Rock Villa Chapel serves as the official
church of Aso Rock where Christian activities
inside the presidential villa are conducted.
According to an eyewitness who spoke to The
Trent on Thursday, September 3, 2015 on
condition of anonymity, heavily armed men
stormed the Aso Rock Chapel on Sunday, August
30, 2015 denying worshippers access to the
church.

“Normally, services begin by 7am at the church
but when we got there, we met armed security
men who said we cannot enter. They said they
were acting on orders from above. We waited
outside till a few minutes past 8am before they
allowed us to enter,” the source disclosed.

A visibly embarrassed Vice President Yemi
Osinbajo who worships at the Villa Church,
arrived the Chapel and could be seen managing
to conceal a worried expression over the incident.

When our reporter contacted Presidential
Spokesman Garba Shehu to confirm the
development, he claimed he was not aware of the
incident. “What you are telling me is news to me.
I am not aware of this issue. There is a lot we
are dealing with and I hope you are aware the
church was handed over to Vice President
Osinbajo. So please call Prince Laolu Akande, his
spokesman to confirm this issue”, he said.
Further investigations by The Trent have revealed
that Sunday’s move was the second in a series of
brazen attempts to shut down Christian activities
in the Villa.

Less than two months ago, the Children’s Church
of the Villa Chapel where the wife of the Vice
President, Mrs. Oludolapo Osinbajo worships with
the children was closed down on orders from
above. According to our source, “security
concerns were given as reasons for the closure
of the Children’s Church.”

Attempts by this newspaper to reach Vice-
Presidential spokesman Laolu Akande failed as
his phone lines were unreachable at the time of
filing in this report.

Mahmud Jega captured what we've been saying all along: "Still other social media warriors said that President Buhari should be given a free hand to pick his aides purely on merit without regard to regional balancing. Any Northerner who makes this argument could be suffering from historical amnesia. Forty years ago when most Federal public servants were Southerners, they insisted that “merit” must be used as the basis for all public service appointments. Northerners however insisted on “federal character” and succeeded in writing it into the 1979 Constitution. Northerners’ vigilance has kept it in the Constitution ever since." www.dailytrust.com.ng/news/columns/after-the-wait-the-storm/108668.html

True communication is the live wire of any marriage.
The aim of communication should be to get spouses to understand each other and not to prove that one person is wrong and the other is right. In getting your spouse to understand you s/he will see her/his wrong.

To me its not a matter of right or wrong, its a matter of right understanding.
