Why displaying ur ignorance freely to Nairalanders? That's not a portion from the Qur'an, it's actually an Arabic way of saying' Victory is from God alone'
Come to think of this: why is there a cross on red cross logo?
Why is there a cross on Nigerian navy's logo? Are they meant for Christians?

The Red Cross flag is the colour-switched version of the Flag of Switzerland. In 1906, to put an end to the argument of Turkey that the flag took its roots from Christianity, it was decided to promote officially the idea that the Red Cross flag had been formed by reversing the federal colours of Switzerland, although no clear evidence of this origin had ever been found.

The cross does not derive from Christianity in the first place.

By your illogical reasoning, if only a few Supreme Court justices have been accused of corruption

...and by yours, the entire judiciary should be sacked and ALL judges reigned in by EFCC/DSS at one fell swoop right? We speak of a syndicate here with a wide network covering the entire country and you are speaking of a few judges. One step at a time, the judiciary will be cleaned up.

2n2k:
May be they will now claim that bribe monies were first pooled into that account for the judges to share.

At least your solved the riddle yourself.

edebemba:
Can somebody please clarify me? I am not understanding what is happening again. At first, it was alleged that the monies recovered from the houses of the Judges were bribe money. But now, according to paragraph 10 of this post, 'There is a strong suspicion by the DSS that money recovered from the residences of these Judges were drawn from the suspicious account'. Which one do we believe? Why the media trial when we are not too sure?

Maybe logic isn't your forte, but I don't see any contradiction. Bribe money can be paid into a bank account, can't it?

Can't Nigerians develop its own coastline? Which country ever gives up its coastline? Here he is inviting foreigners to do so. Just to show the mentality of those in charge.... he is thinking g skyline as development.... high rise hotels and other buildings... looks good in his eyes... like developed countries.We need to be careful of these 'developments' by foreigners.... don't think they wouldn't come.... the same way they came to South Africa. Why are we inviting others to push us off of our lands?

That you for your accurate observations.

To think of the number of self made millionaire's we can make by placing an outright ban on vege oil imports.

Aha.

saintdennis:
I can't believe that palm oil own @ all...pictures of the trade receipts or I can't believe.

Either directly or indirectly, we import palm oil from Malaysia (in the form of vegetable oil at least). Same Malaysia that came to get oil palm seeds from Nigeria in the 60s.

He's supposed to be a comedian yet he can't see the brighter side?

they’re good in anything they do, but they don’t understand politics

...and neither does this one understand logic.

How does one get arrested for defaming another person? Isn't the blakmailer the one that should be arrested? It seems we have a lot of daft police. The girl should retain some lawyers to sue the police and the foolish OAP

Accusing a person of blackmail without evidence is defamation.

Godwin Uwaoma

OK. That's the name of person who conducted the survey.

WeNigerDelta:
The electronic part is way too complex for Naija to implement now. First FRSC address database has to be up to date. Then motion detection cameras that run 24hour. Before we talk about scanning the tags and then the 24hour power to run all of it. You can keep dreaming though. Goodnight man.

Electronic toll already works on the V/I - Lekki Road. So how difficult can it be?

WeNigerDelta:
Why do u guys enjoy misinforming people on purpose. That is a city toll to ease rush hour movement, not even state. Now show me a Federal road (Interstate) in the US with tolls. Please...

Dude...New Jersey Turnpike is Interstate (it is actually I-95 in NJ) and it connects NJ to NY and NJ to PA.

I thought it had already been pointed out that this woman is NOT The President's daughter?

sisisioge:
Bobo sef looked at her and battered her to the point of her turning to a fierce lioness! Chai, no be by force to marry o...them no dey catch late comers biko.

Now it is finished!

Does she look battered to you?

though she is a woman, she did not belong to the kitchen.

Madam, nobody asked you. Last I remember, Buhari said "my wife..." Are you his wife? If your husband says you "belong to the kitchen", then address him.

Sagman1:
Bobo Ondo is an oil producing state so it's not only Niger deltans that has militants so to speak...... And also some parts of ondo are riverine areas e.g Ilaje area and we all know ijaw ppl love riverine areas and are normally found in such areas.. So let me enlighten you, these ijaw ppl migrated there for their fishing occupation and are not Ondo state indigenes so it's just normal to reiterate that Ondo state is a Yoruba state.....next time be sure of something or better still stay enlightened just in case you wanna comment on issues such as this in future ✌

There are Ijaws from Ondo and have coexisted with Yorubas for ages without issues.

XaintJoel20:
An hashtag can be somebody's intellectual property.

How? That banal phrase? Phrases that start with "Bring back..." are so common. I wonder who will lay claim to be the "owner".

XaintJoel20:
infringing on the intellectual property of a group.

What is intellectual about "BringBackOurGirls" hashtag? How is a hash tag anybody's property? So my username "logicab" is now "intellectual property"?

Hardeysolution:
When everyone was using bring back our girls for campaign, what happened to them? Elites were carrying placards containing bring back our girls, but they didn't shout use of brand name. Now, raising funds for the girls, is now a crime.. ...stupid political players

I was wondering when "BringBackOurGirls" became a registered brand name. Basic hash tag is now a matter of copyright? Please some people are only sour because they haven't been "settled" yet.

musicwriter:
By the way, I know you said you're a Yoruba. Are you a Yoruba muslim?

No.

musicwriter:
I think you're rather talking for yourself, cause even in America and Europe you mentioned, some people would of course frown at such.

The question is; does Aisha have right to voice her opinion? Any culture that says "NO" to this question is far in the past.

No, I do not speak for myself. I speak of the Yoruba code for husband/wife relations in marriage.

musicwriter:
May be I'm not getting your point.

Does the Yoruba culture trample on the rights of women? If entire Nigeria was a Yoruba nation; would it be anti-culture for Aisha to speak up?

Let me know.

As most of Yoruba nation is part of Nigeria, we can tolerate other people's cultures. But even Yoruba culture will frown on Aisha's public utterances.

musicwriter:
Since our African culture upholds freedom for women as you acknowledged, then women should have right to rule as well.

I said Yoruba, not African. We both know not all African culture have female liberation.

musicwriter:
And you don't want us to be like Europe? Across the ocean, Hilary Clinton is almost certain to become the next US president as well. And someone in this 21st century still believes the role of women belongs to the kitchen? Indeed, this achaic islamic mentality is why we'll not be like Europe soon.

No I don't want "us" to be like Europe and I speak of the Yoruba nation only. I don't know about others, but Yoruba culture never suppressed women. Check cultures with heroines (female heroes) and you know what the culture thinks about females. Interestingly this culture of female suppression (and racism) sprang from Europe; now the suppressed women are leading a "revolution" which of course will baffle women from liberated cultures.

I can bet no Igbo are against Buhari on this.

musicwriter:
She don't even need to win, but just to prove a point as I said.

Prove a point by spending money she doesn't have? OK na. For your information, this is Nigeria and not Europe.

Yeah. You can put your suggestions in the suggestion boxes.

musicwriter:
If I was this Aisha I would divorce Buhari immediately and contest against him in 2019, just to prove a point that women role is not limited to the kitchen and "the other room". Clearly, this man continues to prove islam belittles women.

I am so sure she will win.

omosuper:
Like logicab like the OP, you two are just too aggressive in nature.

Asking a question isn't aggression; responding with an insult is.

kingthreat:
Instead of importing these wives, I rather marry an American.

LOL. Worse results.
