E pain you sha!, Not every man lacks self control like you! Gerrahia and go to bed kid

Which one concern me wey go pain me? How who you spread your legs for concerns me (that I will be pained) is beyond me. The conversation clearly shows the man is ELDERLY.

Trina0936:
Hmmmm!,God pls give me this kind of a man as a future husband!
Amen

Yep. An old man.

The flat abs and back photo (figure 8 ) don't look like the woman standing in uniform.

annylove:
This shows that his main purpose of wanting to rule this country is just to carry out vengeance on those who wronged him in the past.

Well, if they had thought he could eventually counter-attack maybe we wouldn't have been in this mess in the first place.

Appareil:
Imagine if 75% of people reading news misfire like that, it will be error everywhere

...unfortunately 98% do.

johnbu:
are we not suffering from the consequences of institutionalized babangida corruption now.With the babangida records is obvious that coup was conducted in order to remove buari in order to propagate corrupt practices in Nigeria

You don't need to state the obvious. Let them continue to defend the very malady afflicting them.

redcliff:
This was the reason i did not reply you. Because you proved how mentally incapable you are. You are forgiven though.

Lol. Classic case of a m0r0n calling you one.

People speak from both sides of the mouth (to suit their agenda). When it suits them, they say you can't get away from your past. They will even use that past to harass and belittle you. Then same people say the future and not the past should be spoken about.

kristie26:
The story might be true cos It was someone DAT knew dem that said it. If its not true then wat really happened that both of them died d same time.

Someone "DAT" knew them. And you know this person "DAT" knew them? I used to think logic was natural.

Folarinibrahim1:
I usually see this ride on my way home from work. It was abandoned under a pedestrian bridge along mile2 -Orile road. Have bn seeing it since last year december.

Hmm. Then it may be a stolen car.

That looks like a body shop. The car is there for body work and seeing it doesn't even have plate numbers, it's probably going to be sold.

shamecurls:

Not at all...Saro-wiwa was a great man who stood his grounds. Mind you, Am one of his greatest fan and actually will condemn his execution anyday, anytime. But the mode, which was one of a kind, in which he was killed is what i emphasized on. #MODE.

Thanks for clarifying. The mode was despicable and Abacha if not for death would have eventually faced charges either in The African Court of Justice and Human Rights (the same court where the former Chadian leader was convicted), or The Hague.

shamecurls:
Only if these dude could be executed and buried same way Ken Saro-wiwa was executed and buried on live TV, then his colleagues in crime will know what`s up

I'm sure the killing of Saro Wiwa still gives you a hard-on right?

ajadematanle:
How do you call your car.You can pair your car stereo but someone must pick the call before the conversation could be relayed.Please explain.

Car tracker dude; you can dial in and listen.

You are lucky she didn't steal your house.

Energy storage with a solar farm is different from a personal solar panel.

Ekiti people will continue to serve him

I thought being a governor meant being a public servant? So na public god not servant?

modath:
Don't argue with some people, just school the person on how location determines real estate value in the US... They really don't know... some haven't ventured beyond their Local govt radius....

I was going to point this out: comparing real estate in Boston with Las Vegas. Besides, I could see the house is situated in a large estate.

Ngozi123:
Are you suggesting that the Igbos are single handedly responsible for the problems that we have in Nigeria? If I had known that I was conversing with a tribalist then I wouldn't have quoted you at all. I apologise for that.

Yes now that you know I'm a tribalist, kindly fvck off.

Ngozi123:
Is that really what you got from that statement? I hope that you're just being purposely obtuse. I said that you comparing this case to the people who died during the war is not the same thing in terms of sentimentality. I didn't say anything about being empathetic- I actually think that the word you're looking for is 'sympathy' not 'empathy'- towards anyone, but being sentimental.

Look at this f00l. Obviously you are more obtuse than well, an obtuse angle. So now you want to divert to grammar?

Meaning of empathy:

the ability to understand and share the feelings of another.

So how does my usage not fit the context it was used?

So I can only feel EMPATHY for those murdered in January 1966 if they were family members? Or what does this your quote mean?

Unless, you're family members were killed in this coup then I don't think that it's the same thing.

I have said it before. I shouldn't be amazed by your programming. Your mental issues are not obvious even to you.

Ngozi123:
At least you're honest about yourself...

No, it is simply that I don't care about your perception of who I am.

Ngozi123:
My question was this:
Let me ask you a question, seeing as the coup failed, why is it that Nigeria is in such turmoil today? Surely you can't blame something that, in the end, failed miserably?

Nigeria is in such a turmoil because there is something called a butterfly effect! From a mere butterfly fluttering its wings, something much bigger can happen as a consequence at the other end of the planet. Talk less of eliminating the cream of the crop politicians in the North and the West. And you assumed all will be well? I really need to ask how old you are.

The killing of the Sardauna and Prime Minister threw the North into political instability because these were irreplaceable leaders. Have you ever listened to videos of these guys speeches? Go find their videos then compare to the Northern leaders we have today. Killing them created a huge void, which was then filled by all kinds of charlatans and opportunists. Yet you still don't get it?

Not just that; after the coup, Ironsi now took over the reigns, promulgated Decree 34 and dawdled around for a good 6 months without bringing the coup plotters to book. Well, I guess it was coincidence he was Igbo. Coincidence indeed.

Ngozi123:
I never said that I was pragmatic when discussing that topic, in fact, I don't think that I have discussed the pogroms with you so what exactly is your point? Unless, you're family members were killed in this coup then I don't think that it's the same thing.

Oh, so it's only your family members you feel empathy for? No wonder!

Ngozi123:
The bolded shows that this is a rather sentimental topic for you. I'm not looking at this from a sentimental view, rather a pragmatic one.

I'm sure you are very pragmatic when we talk about the 30,000 Igbos murdered in the aftermath of the July 1966 coup; and the 3 million who followed during the Civil War.

Ngozi123:
I do have an answer for you comment but I would rather you try to not skirt around the topics that you know that you cannot answer. It's rather hypocritical to expect someone to answer your question or reply to your comment without doing likewise. You seem rather rude and condescending- it's quite unbecoming of you.

LMAO. Yes I am rude and condescending and definitely don't have any apologies. OK, what is your question?

Ngozi123:
Why do you keep avoiding my question? Answer if first before I answer yours.

Edit: I haven't been told anything by my elders btw.

I didn't see any question that required an answer in your posts. You may ask again if you wish. But I know you have no answer to my last post. So continue your circular dance.

Ngozi123:
many of whom were thieves who stole money from the national coffers.

Of course when I said you were programmed this way, you felt slighted. The truth is, you are merely regurgitating the tales you heard from your older ones.

Now provide me with the amounts of money stolen by the following:

Alhaji Abubakar Tafawa Balewa
Sir Ahmadu Bello
Chief Samuel Ladoke Akintola
Brig. S.A. Ademulegun (and his pregnant wife)
Major S.A. Adegoke
Lt. Col. J.Y. Pam
Brig. Zakari Maimalari
Col. Kur Mohammed
Lt. Col. Largema
S/Lt. James Odu
Col. S.A. Shodeinde
Lt. Col. A.G. Unegbe

oouucchh!! Tat hotel is bit haunted now... Scary thing tat some ppol can reach to the point of killing someone they "love" ..

Exactly. Ghosts will be shouting "ooohhh ahhhhhhh"..."I'm coming"..."harder, harder, give it to me!" all over the place and walking around naked.

Ngozi123:
Just because they were the only ones who were 'found guilty' of corruption doesn't mean that they were the only ones who were corrupt. It was well known that Tafewa Balewa and many other leaders in chief positions were British puppets. This is what I mean by corruption- it has a rather broad definition. Did you really think that the British would hand over power so easily (it was relatively easy compared to other countries under imperialist rule) to Nigeria unless they had a contingency plan? I don't see why you've decided to take the condescending route when arguing with me. I also don't see why you think that I've been "programmed this way"; growing up in Britain, I was brought up in the British educational system so I learnt a lot about the British Empire and how Britain decided to 'rule' its colonies before and after their 'independences'. You seemed to have severely undermined the part of the British in the build up to this coup, which is rather strange seeing as Nigeria only gained independence six years before.

So, Britain instigated a corrupt Donatus Okafor and his gang to plan a "Revolution" to rid Nigeria of corrupt elements who happen to be British puppets? That's a bit convoluted don't you think?

1stCitizen:
You just shot yourself on the foot. Atheism does not accept the existence of the paranormal.


That is the theory that guides atheism but in practice you guys are hypocrites like what your statement above portrays.

If any "paranormal" phenomenon can be scientifically proven and verified, it will be accepted. For instance, ESP (Extra Sensory Perception) has been proven to be real.

Here is more for that one talking about corruption:

Funny people.

Why was Sir Tafawa Balewa (meaning Black Rock) so powerless an agent of change in the face of his colleagues’ corruption extremisms? Why wasn’t there enough of him to go around? In February 1964 for instance, the NCNC parliamentary leader and Minister of Trade Dr Ozumba Madiwe was caught using his office to divert a government land at Ijora Causeway to his private company Afro Properties and Investment Company since 1961. He then assigned the land lease to Nigerpool in return for a hefty annual profit. The discovery generated another media-exposed corruption scandal. Abubakar met privately with Babatunde Jose, the editor of the powerful Daily Times spearheading the intense campaign to remove the corruption extremist if he declined to resign. Mbadiwe never bothered. There were those who were attracted by the durability of rock. They wished to be massive and unmoveable. They wished not to change. Abubakar told the editor: “You want me to remove this man? What he did fell below what is proper. Under British standards, he would go, but the NCNC who put him in my original coalition are solidly for him. Its central working committee had just passed a unanimous vote of confidence in him. If they withdraw, since Awolowo can’t join, the [coalition] government will collapse.’ Hence, Abubakar made peace with being a little rock thrown to the bottom of a polluted river; the polluted waters washed over him all the time but never penetrated him. On 19 December 1965, he even attended the commissioning of the Mbadiwe’s Palace of People constructed with the proceeds of corrupt practices in the village of Arondizuogu. But on the night of the Revolution, it was Abubakar that Ifeajuna arrested and marched on to his eventual death while Mbadiwe kept on sleeping at home undisturbed by bedbugs. He lived happily ever after.

Ngozi123:
No, I meant that it was inevitable in the sense the Nigerian government was a weak one- it still is now to some extent. That, in addition to the government's corrupt tendencies, meant that it was vulnerable to a coup d'état. These young officers were 'fed up' with the government as they felt that they were not well equipped to run the country properly and they were right! One could say that their complete and utter disregard for their country's 'democratic' leadership was engendered from years of first hand experience with its corrupt leaders. I dare say that if Nzeogwu and co had succeeded then Nigeria would be much better off today. It's a harsh statement but it's true, unfortunately.

Are you being funny? Okafor (one of the coup plotters) had been charged and found guilty of corruption and if Maimalari (same man he was assigned to murder) had not stepped in, he would've lost his position. Meanwhile only ONE of the people he and his gang murdered (Okotie Eboh) was considered corrupt. I know it's futile arguing with you though; you have been programmed this way.

Ngozi123:
The mess that we're seeing in Nigeria today traces back to colonialism and our so called 'independence' from British rule. Nigeria has never been a democracy and the fact that you think that everything we're seeing today is as a result of that coup shows that the elites have really distorted our history. The coup was inevitable; ask yourself why it was inevitable in order to get to the real reason for the mess in this country...

Inevitable? I agree. Some people were definitely going to get greedy and make a power grab at the center. The fact that the power grab backfired is another matter.
