Politics › British Legislator Petitions UK Government Over Nnamdi Kanu's Detention by Lincolnburrows(op): 8:49pm On Oct 29, 2015

A member of the British parliament, Harriet Harman has
written a petition to the British government seeking to know
the details of the continued detention of radio Biafra
Director, Nnamdi Kanu.
Harman, who represents Camberwell and Peckham, sought
to know why Kanu, who is a British citizen was arrested on
Saturday, October 17, 2015.
In the petition titled “Detention of my constituent Mr.
Nnamdi Kanu”, which addressed to Phillip Hammond, the
Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs
and dated Thursday, October 22, 2015, Harman maintained
that since Kanu and his Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB)
movement was non-violent, he should be protected by
Article 1 of the United Nations charter.
Nnamdi Kanu (m), Director of Radio Biafra
The petition read: “I understand that Mr Nnamdi Kanu, who I
am told is a British citizen and lives at …was arrested on the
17th October 2015 by the Nigerian Department of Security
Services (DSS) when arriving in Lagos from the United
Kingdom.
“I understand Nnamdi is the leader of the Indigenous People
of Biafra (IPOB) who are agitating for the independence of
Nigeria’s former Eastern Region. I’m told that the pro-Biafra
group are non-violent and therefore should be afforded
protection under Article 1 of the charter of the United
Nations.
“I’d be grateful if you could let me know your understanding
of what Nnamdi has been arrested for,what he might be
charged with, where he has been held and what consular
engagement there has been.”
Below is a copy of the petition:

Romance › Re: The Two Kinds Of Virgins On Nairaland by Lincolnburrows(m): 10:49am On Oct 24, 2015

harristo:
NOTE: This post is not about how to spot someone that's lying about being a virgin.

Since I've been on Nairaland I've noticed that there are two kinds of virgins here on Nairaland (and everywhere else of course).

1) The first kind are the Struggling virgins.

These are the ones that are virgins for the sake of being virgins. They struggle everyday to fight the desire for sex in order to be virgins.
Others in this category chose to be virgins because they were told to, by their parents or the church.
They see being a virgin as an accomplishment and brag / make noise about it on Nairaland.

2) The second kind are the Normal virgins.

These ones are virgins because they have a strong personal reason, not because they were told to.
They came to their decision of staying a virgin after thoroughly thinking of the issue of casual
sex. To them being a virgin is as normal as breathing, so they don't see it as an accomplishment or brag about it.

What do you guys think?

3)the ones that haven't had the opportunity.

kingsolex:
the Igbo's love Yoruba so much they can't live with out
them.
1. both the igbos and Yoruba's are attractted to each
other like magnets
2. they always point accusing fingers at each other when
faced with problems.
3 they admire and secretly wish they could unite and
fight for a common cause.
4. they are both bittered about the fact that they can't
work with each other even deep down in their hearts they
want to.
5. other tribes envy them and fear they will be
unstoppable if they should unite.
6. this post will attract every single Yoruba and Igbo
available and even passarbys just like bercalona vs real
Madrid would.
one love my brothers.

Eh ya ....you are trying so hard.

I noticed I opened this thread just to check the name. If only this rivalry between Yorubas and Igbos can make them productive and innovative......so far the result is just mere hatred.

Anyway how many of you guys here can swear they won't do drugs to make quick money with assurances of not being caught.

Politics › Re: Amaechi Has No Business Being A Minister!!! by Lincolnburrows(m): 4:33pm On Oct 22, 2015*

Honestly there was so much ado about nothing concerning amechi's ministerial screening. He performed well below par. He never offered any viable solution to the simple questions presented to him. Couldn't articulate his speech and seemed not to know the definition of a corrupt person. He seemed to be rather timid and scared to upset akpabio when asked if 19 was greater than 16(I'll leave that to ffk to decide if he was a coward).
I only regret wasting my time watching him with the thoughts that he had something to offer.
Everything he said lacked substance and this surely is a loss to democracy and Nigerians.

My two cents....and I'm neither pdp nor APC

And is nairaland the relevant authorities? having reviewed this comment and peoples responses to it, I think I was wrong to have made the comment. Social media is a good tool for spreading important information.
On another note, people should learn not to resist attacks from these devilish robbers. Don't try to form Jackie chan with them except if you are one. They don't value human lives and are ready to waste anyone who stands in their way. Few months ago at diobu, phc, one guy was shot dead after he held one of the robbers who snatched his bag. What was inside that bag was not worth up to 20k.

Finally, may God keep us safe from all forms of robbery attacks this year. Our loved ones will not fall victim IJN.

Romance › Re: Ladies, Would You Date A Stingy Guy? by Lincolnburrows(m): 7:30am On Oct 21, 2015*

Yesterday, I was having a conversation with my friend on Palmchat, and she was ranting about her Boyfriend being stingy. The guy is very rich and has refused to support her financially in anyway. Would you date a guy like that? Personally, I won't especially if he is rich!

Maybe the rich boyfriend wants to know if she truly loves him or his money.

The question of "who is stingy" should always be asked to get a clearer picture. Most people give according to their ability. While some guys can buy an iphone6 for their gf as birthday gifts, others can only afford a perfume. Others might go as low as buying a cream. Neither of the above is stingy.its just their capabilities. Being prudent is different from being stingy. So let's get that straight.

ayd91:
I like your approach to the subject, but I must humbly disagree. Nigeria as a country in design had some flaws some of which have been corrected. We've made some progress so far.
To decide if Nigeria really should be broken up we need to assess the reason behind clamour for its divide.
I am rational and I believe things haven't gotten to the point where we should even imagine this. The question of breaking up should be left to the next two generations who I believe would be in a better position to decide the fate of Nigeria.
The status quo is full of propaganda and false reportage, with a hint of dishonesty.

To say people are unwilling to die for Nigeria is right and wrong. I know people who daily put themselves at the forefront both military and civilians for the purpose of a better Nigeria. The population of such individuals are few but they exist.

Furthermore, if Nigerians were loyal to their States or even ethnic groups I think some level of development would've thrived at the local and state level. But the contrary is the reality. The truth is Nigerians are largely SELF SERVING, we have not just learnt the art of leadership and service. Our greed and servile attitude is what is pushing us towards extinction.

No matter how many structures you break Nigeria into, the current state of mind would dominate and transform the structure to its previous point. If Nigeria must survive and thrive, we must change our approach to life.

Good morning Nigeria, Africa, Earth.

I like your approach to your disagreement. But I still disagree.
First, Nigeria as a country in design had some flaws some of which have been corrected. We've made some progress so far. if the flaws have been corrected, why do people still agitate for freedom? Why did the southerners flee from the northern region during the last election? There was a threat of ethnic cleansing if PMB lost. (2011 comes to mind).

Second, We've made some progress so far. oh yes! But very slow progress compared with the huge resources at our disposal. Or simply put we have progressed backwards. What is the poverty rate again? What about the diversification of economy that has always been discussed since 1983. Are you okay with the income distribution in your country? Why do northerners still kill southerners/Christians over issues that happened in Denmark? Etc etc etc. Ghana doesn't have up to 1/20 of the resources available to us but your countrymen troop to their country in masses for higher education.

Third, . The question of breaking up should be left to the next two generations who I believe would be in a better position to decide the fate of Nigeria. . Again why should we leave this for our future generation to still tackle? We should leave them with solid foundation to become a reference point in Africa in terms of innovation and development. Not crisis of unity

Fourth, To say people are unwilling to die for Nigeria is right and wrong hey bro you need to wake up right now. I know most soldiers I discussed with who wanted to quit the nigerian army cos they were sent to Bornu. They simply remained because it's simply not allowed in the military. Most of them got into the military because of unemployment and not passion for the country. And they remain there because there's no way out. I also took you serious until you said that civilians are willing to die for Nigeria. Even armed policemen who are equally civilians go into hiding when they hear of robbery attack.

Conclusively, a nation divided cannot stand. We do not have the same value systems. While it's acceptable to marry a 10 year old girl in sokoto, it is a taboo in delta state. While it's okay to gulp one can of origin in phc, you can lose your hand for that in zamfara. Unity and love is highly needed before a country can make significant progress. The fact there is a federal character is a testament to the fact that we are struggling to be one.

The question F.G should ask themselves is "why are people still clamoring for this cause?" There cannot be true progress of a nation without genuine reconciliation, fairness, non_victimization, equality to all parties concerned. How many people are really proud to be Nigerians? How many people can die for Nigeria? What is the Nigerian dream(just like we have American dream). Who are our founding fathers....Are they men of integrity?
The hard fact is that 80 years from now, the next generation will still be clamouring for break-up which goes to show that the foundation of this country is wrong.

Nigeria is not a nation because nobody is willing to die for Nigeria. Breaking this country can be a blessing in disguise for all parties.

Nnamdi kanu is a learner. First he said that the zoo will be worst than Somalia if the zoo police kills any of his members. They did. Only for him to start doing petition against buhari. When he announced he was coming to the zoo, I wondered what gave him the confidence that the zoo dss would spare him. He should take some notes from uwazuruike, abiola, Asari dokubo on how their lives changed after being detained.

I will miss him though, his bluntness, his high sense of humor his arrogance and his complete honesty to situations, and his attacks on Yoruba media.

I knew it would end this way. The same old script

Welcome to the zoo.
