Kenai:
For goodness sake!
You guys CLEARLY didn't read the post.
They're only voting APGA on the gubernatorial level.

But for presidency, it's GEJ.
They'd never vote a Hausa-Fulani. Don't get your hopes up.

And you want the Hausa-Fulanis in Kano, Sokoto, Katsina, Bauchi, Jigawa, Kebbi, Zamfara, etc to read this your remark in bold and yet HAPPILY vote for the clueless and give him the 25% he needs in at least 2/3 of the states in order win the election?

I thought you we were enlightened and informed enough to know that this kind of divisive politics and ethno-religious bigotry is NOT in the political interest of ANY presidential candidate in a multi-ethnic country like Nigeria!

The more you SO OPENLY show that you hate a candidate from another region SIMPLY because he is NOT one of you, the more you awaken similar ethno-religious hate from those people to equally hate your candidate for SAME reasons, i.e. because he is NOT one of them!

OP, if this your allegation against Buhari were true, then the PDP presidents who have been defeating him, including the current Clueless-In-Chief, must be USELESS and UNPATRIOTIC lot for FAILING to INVESTIGATE him, bring him to book and ban him from contesting in future elections.

1. I wonder why some GEJ supporters STILL BELIEVE they can succeed in whipping up enough 'southern' SENTIMENTS with this kind of divisive posts and make the SW people IGNORE all the CRITICAL ISSUES at stake in the forth-coming election and re-elect this CLUELESS and SELF-CENTRED president for another four more DISASTROUS years SIMPLY BECAUSE HE IS THEIR 'SOUTHERN BROTHER'!.

2. Is it NOW that it suits their narrow divisive AGENDA that we are NO LONGER divided into SE, SS, SW, NE, NW, NC?

3. Have the CLANNISH and DIVISIVE elements among the GEJ supporters forgotten how they have been viciously and maliciously SINGLING OUT certain sub-groups of their 'southern brothers' for incessant insults and all sorts of cruel taunting?

4. Has the 'southern' president EVER tried to reign in the crudest and most clannish among his kinsmen, such as Clark and Asari Dokubo, when they were publicly and viciously insulting prominent and well-intentioned Nigerians who dare criticize his government, including 'fellow southerners'?

5. How come the SW people are NOW your 'SOUTHERN' brothers, and the people of the MIDDLE BELT are now just lumped as 'NORTHERNERS'?

6. What happened to the 'SS/SE/MIDDLE BELT alliance' that some of you guys have been taunting the rest of Nigerians with?

7. Now that the reality of the VOTING POWER of each SUB-REGION has finally dawned on you, and the imminent electoral defeat of your clueless man is staring you in the face, you have suddenly jettisoned the MIDDLE BELT as your partner in alliance, and they are are now just 'northerners'.

8. I really pity GEJ supporters because this kind of PATHETIC attempt at APPEALING to 'southern' SENTIMENTS to get votes for the Clueless-In-Chief would NOT have been NECESSARY if he had performed up to the EXPECTATIONS of ALL Nigerians in his first term!

As the D-Day draws nearer, and the imminent defeat of the clueless becomes almost a foregone conclusion, his goons are clearly getting more desperate and confused!

For many years, they have been trying IN VAIN to paint Buhari as a religious big, but Nigerians didn't buy that.

Then they resorted to whipping up 'southern' sentiments by falsely portraying Buhari as a 'regional bigot' who 'only jailed southerners' who broke the law during his regime but 'allowed all northerners' who broke the same law to got free. Again, Nigerians did NOT buy that, as there is ample evidence to the contrary.

And now, what is left for the GEJ supporters? Well, listen to the LAST DITCH EFFORT at painting Buhari black by this clannish supporter of the clueless:

“The PDP should use the remaining one month to the elections to sensitise Nigerians to the antics of the opposition to clinch power at all costs" - Jude Tabai.

So PDP propaganda goons, up to you! Take this LAST CHANCE of trying to paint Buhari and APC bad enough. Use all your campaign posters henceforth to warn Nigerians not to vote Buhari and APC because THEY WANT TO TAKE POWER AT ALL COSTS, from a president and his SS/SE supporters WHO WANT TO RELINQUISH POWER AT NO COSTS!

yibomustgo:
Liar! No Imam tweeted that. The so called Imam only exists in Reno Omokiri and some Ibos brain. Do you really think we will fall for these lies? Why would any Imam do that? Your so called Imam does not even exist.

You are only doing this to pain Muslim and Buhari as bad people. Is this all the Jonathanians get? Lies, blackmail and slander are what you have left. Bunch of lunatics supporting GEJ.

Op, take this prayer, if the so called tweet from Imam is a lie, may you and your family know no peace again. If this is a lie, may the lord bring sorrow to your life forever.

To hell with you.

It seems that is ALL they have!

In any case, how do you expect the supporters of a UNIVERSALLY-CELEBRATED clueless and incompetent leader like GEJ to EVER find ENOUGH concrete achievements to hinge his re-election campaign on? No way!

Can't you see that even the supposedly enlightened among them, such as FFK, have to resort to this same SHAMELESS tactic of EXPLOITING OUR RELIGIOUS DIFFERENCES as the ONLY way they CYNICALLY hope to get enough votes for the clueless?

But as you rightly stated, Nigerians are MUCH WISER today! We know that the cabal and the SUPER CORRUPT who are the ONLY beneficiaries of the four years of this INCOMPETENT administration are FROM ALL THE TRIBES, RELIGIONS AND REGIONS!

We also know that when it comes to LOOTING THE COUNTRY BLIND, these heartless elite are SO AMAZINGLY UNITED, forgetting ALL their religious, ethnic and regional differences.

Looters are looters, regardless of their TRIBES, RELIGIONS and REGIONS!

A heartless Northern Muslim Hausa-fulani looter is AS EVIL-MINDED and MORALLY BANKRUPT as a heartless Southern Christian Igbo, Ijaw or Yoruba looter!

And the victims of the MASSIVE looting in Nigeria are long-suffering MASSES of all tribes, religions and regions.

That is why ALL men and women of CONSCIENCE, irrespective of their tribes, religions and regions, should CONDEMN ALL heartless looters, regardless of the looters' tribes, religions or regions!

LieDetector:
I'M NEITHER APC NOR PDP

- - NOR ARE YOU OBJECTIVE, otherwise you would have listed some names of equally die-hard supporters of GEJ and asked the SAME QUESTIONS, i.e. whether they would bury their heads in shame or deactivate their accounts if their presidential candidate (GEJ) loses the election.

Only the gullible person would read your post and believe that you are a neutral person who is 'just curious'!

The ALLEGATIONS raised by this faceless writer against the person of the VP candidate of APC are of so much GRAVITY (rape and corruption) that the respected Prof. surely needs to address them, promptly and satisfactorily.

Arch1:
JonaTAN is a very dangerous and divisive president. His campaign has been about : North VS South, Christian VS moslem, We VS Them.

Yes, because he RODE to power largely on the back of such religious sentiments in 2011, he and his supporters think he can do it again!

But seriously, how do you expect the supporters of a UNIVERSALLY-CELEBRATED clueless and incompetent leader like GEJ to EVER find ENOUGH concrete achievements to hinge his re-election campaign on? No way!

Can't you see that even the supposedly enlightened among them, such as FFK, have to resort to this same SHAMELESS tactic of EXPLOITING OUR RELIGIOUS DIFFERENCES as the ONLY way they CYNICALLY hope to get enough votes for the clueless?

But what they do NOT seem to realize is that Nigerians are MUCH WISER today! We know that the cabal and the SUPER CORRUPT who are the ONLY beneficiaries of the four years of this INCOMPETENT administration are FROM ALL THE TRIBES, RELIGIONS AND REGIONS!

We also know that when it comes to LOOTING THE COUNTRY BLIND, these heartless elite are SO AMAZINGLY UNITED, forgetting ALL their religious, ethnic and regional differences.

They NEVER care at all that the victims of their corruption INCLUDE the poor MASSES from their own TRIBE, RELIGION AND REGION!

saint047:
. A Vp candidate who is optimistic of victory will not spend weeks perambulating streets of Lagos. They know GEJ has won.

The part in bold is not true; you are VERY WRONG to think that only politicians who are not optimistic of victory meet ordinary people during their campaigns.

GOOD leaders who care for the welfare of the ORDINARY people often find some time off their tight schedules to GO and MEET some POOR and ORDINARY folks at GRASSROOTS. They would eat and drink with them, listen to their problems, hopes, expectations, and explain to them their parties' programmes in a simple, ordinary language they would understand.

So FAR from showing his lack of optimism at the poll, as you wrongly interpreted it, what the highly respected and erudite APC VP did clearly shows his PROFOUND COMPASSION for the ORDINARY NIGERIANS and his GENUINE CONCERN for the welfare ALL CITIZENS, rich and POOR.

This is unlike the self-centred clueless you support, who always seems to be at his HAPPIEST while in the company of the notoriously corrupt elements of our country!

Excellent punchline!

StunningCEO:
Dia thread is very funny. Those of us here in the USA know that this body (American professionals) is sponsored by the FGON. Many of dem have moved bk to Nigeria and making good money from Jonatan.

Although there are many decent and honest Nigerian professionals abroad who are doing our nation proud, there are also A LOT of them who EAGERLY and DESPERATELY want to join the Looters' Club back home; hence they jostle for positions in this kind of diaspora organizations with a view to ADVERTISING THEMSELVES to the powers-that-be and make as many 'connections' as possible. Thus, in reality some of them are ASPIRING, WANNABE CORRUPT elite!.

In fact some of them who have spent years abroad without having anything to for show for it, have turned themselves into pitiable hangers-on, following corrupt visiting Nigerian officials disgracefully, getting crumbs from them.

And the worst part of it is that the Nigerians in Diaspora, despite being professionals generally, are so divided along our 'normal' ethnic, religious and regional lines that they can even embarrass our 'local' bigots!

For instance, I can bet that the vast majority of the members of this diaspora association that supports GEJ so strongly are from the particular region where GEJ gets his strongest support and, as such, they are people who would TYPICALLY support him anyway, whether they are at home or abroad, simply for ethnic and religious reasons!

Justcash:
Lagos is ripe for advanced political reasoning and multi-ethnic governance. Lagos state is miles ahead of other states in Nigeria. Many Nigerians from other ethnic groups are more Lagosian than their original ethnic group. The state should lead the way in showing other states the beauty of multi-ethnic governance in Nigeria.

All these ethno-religious considerations impede the unity and progress of Nigeria. The minds of the new generation is corrupted by such considerations. In Lagos, kids are born together and mix up with eachother in playgrounds, school, churches and mosques without caring about ethnicity. It is only the grounded TRIBALISTIC social system that separates them and causes strife, suspicion and ethnic hatred as soon as they evolve into adulthood.

If we are indeed NIGERIANS, we should be seen as being Nigerian first before being Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, Efik, Urhobo, Tiv etc. Lagos, as a cosmopolitan city, must lead the way.

Although, as you rightly pointed out, Lagos is unique in its multi-cultural nature, yet we should NOT expect the state ALONE to do away with the ethon-religious considerations which you said impede the unity and progress of Nigeria, while other states maintain THESE SAME ethno-religious considerations in dealing with the non-indigenes in their respective states. It does NOT make sense!.

Although there might be some basis for some of the complaints raised by this group, I think the TIMING and the OPEN nature of this letter make the whole thing smell of POLITICS, rather than a genuine, non-partisan agitation for better socio-economic conditions and more political rights for the Igbos resident in Lagos.

Besides, I think Lagos is one of the few states that have been making some appreciable progress towards addressing the often tricky and sensitive issue of non-indigenes in their states, as some Igbos, Hausas and some other communities have been appointed into some government positions to give them sense of belonging in the state. Many states have NOT started doing that yet.

Some questions for all the evil-minded who want to CYNICALLY use the deaths of these young Nigerians to score some political points for the clueless:

1. Hasn't the Clueless-In-Chief set up a committee to investigate the post-election riots of 2011?

2. Did he not promise to make the findings of the committee public and deal with ANYONE found to have a hand in those riots?

3. So if you think Buhari has a hand in the deaths of those young Nigerians, why can't you simply publish for us here the part of the report of the investigation where he is OFFICIALLY INDICTED?

You supporters of the clueless we all know you are getting MORE DESPERATE AND JITTERY as the D-Day approaches. But even then, you should have shown some DECENCY and RESPECT to the families of these young Nigerians who lost their lives in those unfortunate circumstances, by avoiding the temptation to use the deaths of their loved ones in this REPREHENSIBLE, VILE political propaganda.

If I were a relative of any one of those young corpers, I would SURELY hate ANYBODY who, CYNICALLY, CALLOUSLY, INSENSITIVELY and DESPICABLY EXPLOITS the memory of my relative for cheap political propaganda as much as I would hate the evil mobs who killed them in such cold blood!.

The extremist, tribalistic, clannish and divisive supporters of GEJ from the SS/SE region should NOW bury their heads in SHAME!:

1. After all the ETHNIC and RELIGIOUS abuse they have been heaping on the Northerners and their leaders like IBB, they are now so shamelessly basking in the endorsement of their clueless leader by one of the most CORRUPT, most DISCREDITED and most DESPISED of the northern 'Gambari' leaders!

2. We have been stating it here all along that the corrupt Northern elite, as represented by IBB, would hate a Buhari presidency AS MUCH AS the religious and ethnic bigots of the SS/SE region would hate it, but for different reasons.

3. We have also been repeatedly pointing out that GEJ is the BEST friend of the WORST corrupt among the elite of the country, and the endorsement he received from IBB only proves just that.

4. We'll wait to see when next an UNCASTRATED SS/SE BRUTE, like Asari Dokubo, would open his stinking mouth and abuse the 'Gambaris' or call the SW people 'slaves of the Gambaris' - after we have all seen their Clueless-In-Chief ONCE AGAIN paying HOMAGE and SEEKING the 'BLESSINGS' of the person he once called his 'father', and after we have seen his clannish SS/SE supporters being so much over-joyed by the endorsement their son got from the WORST among the Gambaris' leaders!.

OP, no serious person pays any attention to what this confused, compromised and attention-seeking fellow writes.

All his articles in the past one year or so have been almost invariably A MALICIOUS attack on Tinubu, or a FALLACIOUS analysis on why the APC stands no chance against the PDP, or a shamelessly desperate psychological attempt to put a wedge in the political alliance between the SW and the North, the prospects of which threaten JEG and his cohorts, like Femi, more than anything else.

Any discerning observer of Femi Aribisala's recent writings can easily see through his PATHETIC boot-licking of the GEJ government, sometime even STOOPING to very lowly and shameless bigotry. A few examples:

1. "The Northern politicians clamouring for power after being starved of it for 16 years are not dying to do any favours for the South-West, given the eight years of Obasanjo’s presidency. They are dying to do favours for themselves. Once a Northern president is firmly installed in Aso Rock, they are going to stop returning Tinubu’s phone-calls." Femi Aribisala http://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/01/bola-tinubu-want/

Can Femi dare tell the people of the SW what favours the South-South presidency of GEJ has been doing for the SW region and its people in the past 5 years? And how has GEJ been treating phone calls, and even letters, from OBJ, his SWestern political godfather, and that of Tinubu, who was also so instrumental in his victory? Can Femi tell us why OBJ felt it necessary to write his lengthy open letter to the non-Northern president in relation to the interests of the SW region?

2. " - The APC adventure marks the end of the road politically for Tinubu. It is downhill all the way for him from now on. The very things that made Tinubu successful in the South-West are bound to shipwreck him in the APC." Femi Aribisala
http://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/01/bola-tinubu-want/

Clearly, this betrays Femi as one of those who are so much pained about Tinubu's political status in today's Nigeria, hence he is so openly wishful of seeing 'the end of the road' for him politically and 'downhill all the way for him from now on'. Imagine this coming from someone who wants to be seen as a 'man of God'!

Sadly it was a bitter Christmas for the APC propaganda machine as the Rain of Bomb explosions they had anticipated never happened as Nigerians celebrated Christmas without any major incident.

Mr Oche Otorkpa, I do not know what the abbreviation 'MNSM' you appended to your name stands for, but I guess it denotes your membership of a professional body.

And if you SERIOUSLY BELIEVE that "the APC propaganda machine", or any official of the party for that matter, would be so SADISTIC, SO WICKED and SO EVIL-MINDED that they had ACTUALLY WANTED to see INNOCENT citizens of their country, men, women and children, being killed and maimed in a "rain of bomb explosions" during the Christmas holiday, just in order to "criticize the GEJ-led government", then I would DEFINITELY like to know that professional body you belong to, what their membership criteria are, and when and HOW you managed to become a member of the body.

Another DESPERATE and CYNICAL attempt at getting some CHEAP sympathy votes for the clueless from his fellow 'southerners'.

I really pity GEJ supporters because this kind of PATHETIC and shameless APPEAL to 'southern' SENTIMENTS to get votes for the Clueless-In-Chief would NOT have been NECESSARY if he had performed up to the EXPECTATIONS of ALL Nigerians in his first term!

myhoodlink:
I'll advice you read the article again please. Terrorism calls for collective efforts to combating it and the media play a major role in it. SR will be appreciated for reporting what will boost the moral of our military and citizens in this fight against the insurgents and not fabricating stories without concreate evidence to be denied by anyone.

It would surely be UNPATRIOTIC and unprofessional, and perhaps even TREASONABLE, for any individual or organization to 'fabricate' a story with a view to undermining the Nigerian military's operations against the evil and satanic BH murderers.

And as you rightly stated, we should all be contributing, in our various little ways, towards the success of the military in their brave efforts to end the insurgency.

However, journalists, both locally based and foreign-based like the Sahara Reporters, are often privileged to know FAR more than what ordinary citizens generally know, and this is what makes their working relation with government officials sometime very difficult, tricky and complex.

And in as much as the military should be supported by all well-meaning Nigerians, the kind of support we should expect from professional journalists should include LETTING US know the TRUTH about ALL issues relating to the war against the insurgency, EXCEPT, of course, certain critical operational details, the revealing of which could jeopardize specific operations.

But as I stated earlier, some corrupt military commanders would surely be upset by the Sahara Reporters not necessarily because the online website divulged any operational secrets, but simply because it DEMANDS ACCOUNTABILITY!

myhoodlink:
Your source is an Enemy of the Nigerian State (Defence Hq). Look for credible source please. Thanks and God bless.

Sahara Reporters, or any organization or individual for that matter, does NOT become an enemy of Nigeria SIMPLY because somebody at the Defence Hqters described them as such.

In fact, history is replete with MANY instances whereby the MOST PATRIOTIC citizens of a country are declared as 'enemies of state' simply because they oppose the sitting government of their respective countries.

And in a notoriously corrupt country like Nigeria, any individual or organization that tries to be exposing the rampant corruption at high places (including the military) so courageously, unsparingly and consistently as Sahara Reporters does, would surely be taking a HUGE RISK because THE BENEFICIARIES of the corrupt system would surely be seeing them as an 'enemy of the state' and try to 'deal with' them as such.

The owner and the writers of the popular online website are lucky that they are based in the US, otherwise the website would have ceased to exist long ago!

Anybody who knows the quality of journalists Nigeria used to have in the past, would feel like shedding tears seeing how the noble pen profession is now being so badly tarnished by all sorts of unscrupulous pretenders, semi-illiterates and bare-faced bigots who know next to nothing about the cardinal principles of journalism, talk less of feeling any sense of professional responsibility.

You do not even need to be a professional journalist to know that this charlatan, Robert Obioha, represents all what is wrong with our journalism today:

1. Only a crassly prejudiced, pathetically uncritical, mentally lazy or barefacedly mischievous 'journalist' would continue to regurgitate the old lies that it was some northern leaders that are killing, maiming and displacing thousands of their people, and disrupting the economic and social life of their region so badly, just in order to make the government of GEJ 'look bad' and make the country 'ungovernable' for him!

2. When more and more enlightened and unbiased observers started to CRITICALLY question those lies, have we not seen how THE SAME PEOPLE who started the lies in the first place began to shift their FALSE NARRATIVE by re-directing their false accusation to BUHARI, then to APC, TINUBU, LIE Mohammed, El-Rufai and other opposition figures as being the sponsors of BH?

3. If Obioha were not such a PATHETIC PRETENDER calling himself 'journalist'; if he is not such a morally bankrupt charlatan blinded by bigotry, he would have known that the question many intelligent and unbiased journalists and observers have been asking, and continue to ask is, WHO ACTUALLY BENEFITS, POLITICALLY and OTHERWISE, from the continued, systematic widespread destruction of the North?

4. Does Obioha think Nigerians have forgotten how the president he supports came out publicly and tried most CYNICALLY to REAP A POLITICAL BENEFIT from the FIRST bomb blast in Nigeria, by IMMEDIATELY but FALSELY and DECEITFULLY blaming it on some Northern leaders?

Change2015:
Thanks for your response. The article contains many popular prejudices that we have as a nation but it is still essentially wrong and the ops intentions, misguided.

Yes, your are right.

VirginFinder:
How can a sitting civilian president conduct a coup?
That is contrary to common sense!

Don'tworry, Prof Yemi Osinbajo will guide Buhari in decision making as it affects the economy.

I cringed at that too!

clean2:
Any yoruba man that read this and doesnt wake up to the reality of the real problem we face in nigeria will never be wise till he enters his grave.

1. I wonder why GEJ supporters think that Nigerians are SO DUMB that we would ALL ignore the CRITICAL ISSUES at stake in the forth-coming election and SIMPLISTICALLY vote along the fuzzy and hazy 'NORTH-SOUTH' divide.

2. Besides, is it NOW that it suits their AGENDA that we are NO LONGER divided into SE, SS, SW, NE, NW, NC?

3. Have the CLANNISH and DIVISIVE elements among the GEJ supporters forgotten how they have been viciously and maliciously SINGLING OUT certain sub-groups of their 'southern brothers' for incessant insults and all sorts of cruel taunting?

4. Has the 'southern' president EVER tried to reign in the crudest and most clannish among his kinsmen, such as Clark and Asari Dokubo, when they were publicly and viciously insulting prominent and well-intentioned Nigerians who dare criticize his government, including 'fellow southerners'?

5. How come the SW people are NOW your 'SOUTHERN' brothers, and the people of the MIDDLE BELT are now just lumped as 'NORTHERNERS'?

6. What happened to the 'SS/SE/MIDDLE BELT alliance' that some of you guys have been taunting the rest of Nigerians with?

7. Now that the reality of the VOTING POWER of each SUB-REGION has finally dawned on you, and the imminent electoral defeat of your clueless man is staring you in the face, you have suddenly jettisoned the MIDDLE BELT as your partner in alliance, and they are are now just 'northerners'.

8. I really pity GEJ supporters because this kind of PATHETIC attempt at APPEALING to 'southern' SENTIMENTS to get votes for the Clueless-In-Chief would NOT have been NECESSARY if he had performed up to the EXPECTATIONS of ALL Nigerians in his first term!

OP, another IMPORTANT difference you CONVENIENTLY skipped is that one of them ABHORS corruption so much that he sent secret agents of the Nigerian government to track down, capture and repatriate HIS OWN KINSMAN (Umar Dikko) from the latter's hiding place in the UK, in order to make him face justice regarding some ALLEGATIONS of corruption against him; while the other TOLERATES corruption so much that he even pardoned, embraced and politically rehabilitated HIS KINSMAN (Alamieyeseigha) who was CONVICTED of massive corruption in a UK court, thereby putting our country to international ridicule and giving ammunition to those who stereotypically see corruption as part and parcel of our individual and national life.

So even the most biased observer can tell who, between these two leaders, is THE BEST FRIEND AND PROTECTOR of the corrupt among the Nigerian elite, and who is their NIGHTMARE AND NEMESIS!

1. This is just of the MANY stories GEJ supporters relentlessly keep digging out, day in day out, in their desperate but unsuccessful attempts TO WHIP UP religious, ethnic and regional SENTIMENTS with the hope of boosting the dwindling re-election chances of their clueless.

2. The OP must be NAIVE to think that he could use what LAWAL KAITA said to damage BUHARI in the eyes of Southerners! Every well-informed Nigerian knows that Lawal Kaita and Buhari are TWO POLES APART.

3. In fact, if the OP does not know, LAWAL KAITA was one of the corrupt governors Buhari SENT PACKING in 1983, and he was one of the FOUNDING FATHERS of PDP and has ALWAYS been in the party, while Buhari, on the other hand, has ALWAYS been in a party opposing PDP.

Another CHEAP and laughably PATRONIZING piece of CRASS propaganda aimed at getting sympathy votes for the clueless from his fellow 'southerners'.

I really pity GEJ supporters because this kind of PATHETIC attempt at APPEALING to 'southern' SENTIMENTS to get votes for the Clueless-In-Chief would NOT have been NECESSARY if he had performed up to the EXPECTATIONS of ALL Nigerians in his first term!

Babysho:

That's too inconsiderate, too insensitive and too cruel for anyone to say at the tragic death of another person.

Remember, the late old man might be a father, a brother, an uncle, a grandfather to some REAL people who might read your comment here on NL!

How do you think they would feel if they read this your highly despicable and tasteless comment about the death of their loved one?
