Six minutes until it is Six o'clock |
Ok, here's it ![]() |
patches689:I never allow my genuise go unnoticed behind my moniker(s). Never!!!! I have always owned up when and if issues of identity arose. And none thus far has arisen on this thread. |
cindykaey:Ok, let me make it plain to you in a barnumized manner. The story was long and reference was added at the tail end. You all just wouldn't suppress your zeal for blood then; so you frenzy-loaded your guns and fired before taking aim. But let me be generous and grant you that which you earnestly yearn for; I will assume she did put out a story without credit to the original phraseologist, that , my dear, could be summed up as affront to the rules of Nairaland. It is pageant-unrelated. It was a thread, you can liken it to an assignment in school or a test. The act under contention here, by and of itself, mires this contest, nay Nairaland into the mud of disrepute and ignominy. This is the final show, girl, the world is watching. You may want to add a little apparel to your cloak of nationalism now. |
cindykaey:Tell me about it. |
JeffreyJamez:Oh, she wasn't in an exam, bro. And she did give reference, the vultures just wouldn't let her sink before hovering for the kill. It boomeranged like it should. Stick with it!!! |
EzePromoe:Are you by any means trying to redefine the word plagiarism on the pages of Nairaland ? She doesn't have to lift the entire work or text. Copying a substantial part (phrase or unmodified clause) without permission or reference is outright plagiarism. Have you forgotten, the well-worn scripting in copyright protection: No PART OF THIS WORK MAYBE COPIED...... |
Seun:A fair penalty that suits the crime. |
Henry240:Patrick will rather spew hokum than own up, we owe the longevity of this thread to his passion for evasive argument. ![]() Fact still remains the modern SADF has not seen real combat in its existence in a sustained conventional way. Please, at the risk of partial derailment, I want to appeal to all patriots of this thread who's been keeping facts of our military and doing our country proud here for years to give me a voting support for Mïmzy for Miss Nairaland 2016 , Monday 20th. Cc Agaugust Overhypedsteve Henry120 Lionel4power Iblawi Vikkie14 Odunayaw Shizzy7 And all the others I can't bring their names to remembrance now. Thanks |
tosyne2much:Too informal for an interviewer in this capacity ![]() |
daveP:Alright. Thanks for putting this in a clearer perspective. |
tosyne2much:Did I read the emboldened aright? |
EColeJnr:I am numb of emotions when I drive them to Hades, bro. They are full of fake airs and false strut. I have lost the will to cease killing them ![]() |
I see funlord viewing too, he's been quiet lately. |
KINGinVAHALA2: I hope you won't be delivering those eye-itching blunders when Refiner puts her hopes on you. Just looking after her interests, bro. I didn't mean to pry ![]() |
postmann:I'm used to the stalking, bro. But this one is quite shameless! |
MRNipples:Epic romance often begins with great feud, that's what you didn't get. Now she's mine, you'll look dead to her ![]() |
MRNipples:And what's that ? |
postmann:Ok, so I thought I mudered her and buried her worthless corpse underneath her community's refuse dump. But you had to exhume her and bury her in a sewer pit? That ghost will hover in an endless whirl of obscurity, man |
MRNipples:It's the mimzy combo! You better get onboard, boy. ![]() |
Kingspin:I think so too. |
PassingShot:[b]1) The local government issue is a cardinal breach that tore the pretentious cloak of Nigeria's illusionary federalism 2) The essense of federalism isn't about a balance of resources. The essence of federalism is a different and diversified people coming together to live by their own terms and agreement, not to be spoon-fed by Abuja. First off, the 1999 constitution is an affront to federalism. In a federation, states are to decide what powers we are ceeding to Abuja and what powers are we retaining. That was never the case with Nigeria. The cardinal qualification for a state becoming part of the federation is to show economic viability. Each federating unit is to own their own constitution. If Nigeria were to be a true practising federation, you won't hear of the clamour of more state creation. We scream for more states because as soon as these states are created they are latched onto the south-south sustained breast of Abuja and they suckle away like giant babies. A state can and should negotiate economic pact with other states or the federal government after it became bankrupt after creation, and not prior to becoming a state. In a federation, no state is created to be dependent on the centre without a mutual agreement. The 36 states and FCT wait on Abuja's allocation like Samsung, HTC, LG etc wait for Google to release Android's latest OS before knowing where their economic lives are going. 3) Nigeria not being mature for state police is pure sentiments. It is justifying a failure of execution and application on emotional assumptions. Not being mature for state police is an observation after decade of bastardised federalism. State police is a prerequisite to the formation of a federation. It can't be argued away with a subjective view of immaturity . it is a logical fallacy. Please in a federation, the federating units are more or less independent entities. The right to police formation is cardinal, undeniable in a federating unit. The principles of federalism are cold hard facts of national life, they aren't based on sentiments or Abuja's notion of Equity. [/b] |
PassingShot:The federating Units are just an extension of the centre. Local government are smothered and obliterated by the composing units. The judiciary is still an apron string to the Executive. The composing units aren't economically viable which is the one of the cardinal principles of creating states. Abuja feeds the states. The police is central in nature and operation and the governor being chief security officer of his state is an official obscurity. We aren't a federation. |
joseph1832:Yes, we did in that retracted thread Mimzy wrote about enhancing and enriching our political participation. I didn't read this piece exhaustively not for its length but for its accademic nature. But I still stand that the absence of true federalism remains a strong deterrent to not only our political health but also our socio-economic and ethno-religious stability. Federalism isn't just another choice of governance, it is the only known system where a heterogeneous and diversified people have been known to thrive economically and culturally. The nearest option is a confederation. Nigeria is a quasi-federation, tilting towards full blown unitary system. |
[quote author=teebell999 post=46526298][/quote]Perhaps, if the FRSC enforce it like they do the driver's and front passenger's, Nigerians will at least know it's safer and appropriate to use it. The front seat belt enforcement has helped alot of Nigerians adapt to using it, myself inclusive. Same should be done to rear seat belt usuage too. |
KingCheezyPuff:Anyhow |
