malc619: Abeg carry your rotten bad belle go sit-down gutter. I wonder why empty-headed folks like you just open your traps when you've got nothing sensible to say.

Your post reeks of pure senselessness!!!

Mtsceeewwww!!!!

@Topic:
God bless the good governor. This personal effort of Fayemi might not really appear to be a big deal when compared with the needs of our exceptional graduates. The fact however is it is and will always be a big deal to the beneficiaries as well as their families.

If well-to do individuals can emulate Fayemi many more students will be given more opportunities to realize their full potentials.

Once more God bless the good governor.

I don't want to write that you are a fool but next time do not and I mean do not quote me if you are not quoting with sense.

Gbawe: I can understand your cynicism but Fayemi said he chose these students from amongst those who approach him daily. This would mean that there may be many brilliant students who have secured the opportunity to study in some of the finest centres of education in the world who will be unable to take advantage if financial help is not forthcoming.

If Fayemi does his little bit and if others help out also , like businessmen and industry bosses, then many more young people would reach their potentials than is currently the case.

Gbawe, it's an indictment on him as a governor. Why can't we have an havard like school in Nigeria? Six out of thousands of youths when he has the resources at its disposal. He can do better with our money not his own.

I'm not impress, he was only playing to gallery.

95 per cent of opinions are Influence by money - Keyamo, don't bother contesting cos those are the people that are suppose to vote for you not people in the disapora.

Hmmmm....interesting.

Ola Johnson: Students of OAU, Ile-Ife felt that a lawyer like Gani Fawehinmi was ripe enough to be made a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) but was not given because of his radical stand against the government. In 1988, the students said if Nigeria could deny Fawehinmi SAN, they would make him a Senior Advocate of the Masses (SAM). But there was a problem: The day chosen for the conferment coincided with IBB's 3rd year anniversary. The VC, Wande Abimbola told the students to choose another day but they refused. A day to the day the venue, Amphitheatre was locked and armoured tanks stationed at the school's main gate. Fawehinmi took another road, Road 7 to the new venue, Sports Complex.

Ose!!! Great Nigerian students of yores!

Honestly, this issue has been over-flogged. This is not suppose to be news if not for politics.

Where I am today in my journey into political awareness was due to this section. Yes there was tribalism but there was an healthy discourse and debates. As a young yoruba lady, I learnt about my history, what occur in the civil war from both sides and more that I will have to open a thread to list what I learnt from this section.
Seun, you are naive and careless for you not to know the power you have in your hand. For you to allow some group of people to propagate hatred. History is awaiting you, decide how you want to be remember.

Where are we? Has that bigoted mod who recommended silly thread that has the potential to undermine the unity of this nation sack yet?

ujchief: Lol@bolded. You are damn right! Coming here for 3 straight days has affected you negatively as seen in your suggestion

A word of advice: go back to the Romance section. When the storm is calmed and here is safe again, we will invite you back

Once again, mods don't take threads to frontpage. They only recommend. Its the duty of the super-mods to take threads to frontpage (unless the rules have been changed lately).

I hate being patronise and another thing I hate more is to be belittle. For your sake, I will edit. The mod that recommend that thread to the fp must be sack or OAM4J must be replace with another bigoted mod if Seun want peace to reign.

bobthebuilder99: I will help you.

Please immediately remove the MASSOB thread that was posted to the front page today. Sack Afam as well.

Why?

That thread is a perfect example of what many here have said severally. Igbo mods posting tribal threads to the front page to give their brothers an excuse to attack other tribes. It happened to the Hausa when Boko Haram was heating up, with shameful threads hitting the front page, now it is directed at Yoruba.

2. Joe Igbowke wrote a sane and calm appeal to Igbos to be calm and to think rationally about the deportations. Many posters created threads about it. NOT A SINGLE MODERATOR PUT THIS ON THE FRONT PAGE. Yet the next day they post MASSOB calling Yoruba "Alama and oil".

3. Afam takes up 90% of the 1st page, then promotes it to the front page, so that his viewpoint is heard over the other forumites.

4. That thread is filled with nothing but tribal trash AND MASSOB IS NOT A NIGERIAN ORGINIZATION! It is purely an Igbo separatist organization. Why must their every word and action be on front page of Nairaland?

Geez! Just 3 days of consistenly coming here, I'm ready and willingly to be become a tribalist.
OAM4J pls close this thread. What's that MASSOB thread doing on the front page. The mod that put that thread on the fp must be sack or you should be sack and replace with another bigot. Infact I'm nominating Ilugun or Ji sun something to replace OAM4J. What an injustice!

anago12: why tribalism won't stop in the politics section of nairaland.

Firstly the igboid took the meekness of the yorubas as weakness and call us all sort of names. But only few of us see it as a duty to reply them. But now they have overdone it and countless yorubas offline and online are now wary of their antics with the event of the past week.

Secondly, all the peace move on this section are always made effort in futility by igbos. The last kiss and make up thread by ivynwa comes to mind. Even with the fact that igbos were still cursing out yorubas on that thread will still gave them three days grace to stop the hostility. Even dayokanu begged me then that we should give them a week grace before relpying their insult in kind.

Again the present seletive banning of yoruba monikers by afam and sexkills is making many more yorubas to dedicate their energy to the cause of the ethnic fight. Until this guys stop been bias.

And lastly before we even talk of giving peace a chance at all. All the yorubas are this on google must be whipped out and peeps like onlytruth, chino and fsu must be followed by oam4j to monitor all their postings on his section. Also either sexkills or afam must be removed for an hausa mod.

After all these has been done we can then talk on how to acheive peace. Sorry for my typo errors doing this on a mobile phone.

I hope the admin will take this seriously. In the first place, why are there 2 mods from the Ibo extraction in a volatile section? And Yourubas are .... should be remove cos I don't want my unborn children seeing those crap.

Wow! The annoying thing is that most people fanning this embers of war are not staying in Lagos, not to talk of Nigeria. Well with or despite you this nation will be great. Better still, there is a big field close to my area, I will send invites detailing the time and venue for you guyz to come over in order kill each other instead of turning yourself to nuisance. Foolish set of people.

*wipe tears* I believe so much in miracles. I hope and pray it come to pass in this couple's life.

Eeeehn! Op, are you sure these are pixs of the couple? The guy look tougher, meaner and bigger. Well, I hope justice is bought to bare.

Mtcheew!

It's now official, Govenor Obi is a fool! For having the effrontery to play politics with people's life and also lie to a whole nation.

Really? I'm just reading for the first time that babaolojas/mamaolojas are being appointed by the king. The one I knew of is the overall head of markets. Individual market choose their own head and not the king. Something is smelling fishy.

bukatyne: Lol!

Luvmijeje, let's treat them jeje so that there is no e-death o!

I believe with time, more people would come around to understand what feminism means and that people's personality plays a part in their outlook to all things in life : feminism included.

It would be easier if we express our views with civility and courtesy.

It is well

I've heard u o jare. I just advised them not to create wahala where it's not needed.

bukatyne: Feminists don suffer!

Imagine that a poster telling me that kindness and feminism does not jell! Seriously? All feminists must be rude etc. Once the word feminism is written, a lot of posters' have an e-heart attack!

Feminists do not want to marry!
Men are always in the wrong to them!

I wonder if most posters can differentiate between Feminists and Lesbians.

It's well

It's not just you o, I even read that feminism is about female supremacy. The one that shocked me most was a supposed female writing crap about feminism.
As far as I'm concerned, they won't just have e-heart attack, they will also have e-collapse and if they are not careful it may lead to e-death cos we are just starting.

[quote author=Mrs.Chima]You are right...God created marriage and ordained marriage between a man and a woman. The sole purpose of mariage was to build wholesome families where husbands love and respecr his wives and the wives does the same. Husbands values the opinions of the wives and take it to God who ultimately guide the decision for the family. That was the origin of marriage....now marriage today by millions are thwarted with men thinking that theub are above God and same sex marriage is now considered "holy".

Now getting back to feminism...feminism back in 1800's is the same as feminism in 2013. Do not allow confused and demented individuals misquide you with phony definitions.

Since the origin of mankind, women were treated like whores and maids. They were sold off to marriage to the highest bidders. They were not allow to participate in politics, decision-making of the family, and denied formal education.

It took a group of courageous and tired women to start the movement which was called originally the Women Suffrage Movement later became Feminism. The movement fought for women to have the right to education, participate in politics, have equal power to their children, work outside the home, and speak her mind without persecution.

Now that women have these rights in various countries...they are fighting to clear other inequalities however other countries to this day oppresses women.

Now some sexist pigs and tricks want women to be happy with the few progresses made as if they are better than God, which is the biggest sin of them all.

You said something I agree with...your marriage ceremony and life with your husband is nobody's business or control but you and your spouse. If people would to spend their free time perfecting their life and relationship...they wouldn't have time debating other people about their choices and lifestyle.[/quote]

CNN80: Maybe there is a difference now. But that does not negate the positive contribution that feminism has brought to this world. The issue that I have with your posts is that once you see any post that means a woman is standing up for herself, you enter attack mode. You never consider the positive aspects of the situation, you just look at the negative. And then you end up exchanging insults with anyone who disagrees with you. That makes it hard for me to want to see the points you are trying to put across. It's very discouraging.
For example, women retaining their maiden names. It's a choice. It doesn't negate the fact you are married. What is the big deal? As long as the couple are in agreement, why, oh why, are you tearing your hair out on their behalf? Live and let live.
I can't imagine being a housewife, not in a million years. But there are woman that find fulfilment in being stay at home moms. As long as they made the choice for themselves, who am I to denigrate that choice just because it's not one I can make?

On point! *nodding my head*

@99cent, sholly and other feminists who believe a woman has a right to choice and a right not to be discriminated upon should please keep the fire burning. Kudos to you all.
