PoliticsRe: Charles Taylor: A Man Betrayed by Mariory(m): 8:50pm On Aug 09, 2010
Who gives a shit. Taylor is a man that murdered and maimed for life thousands of his fellow West Africans. Who gives a shit if he was betrayed. Africa has enough problems of it's own without people like him. One less mad man.

Bus driver or no bus driver, market women or no market women, the system benefits you on a daily basis directly or indirectly. What about Taxi drivers, caterers, delivery people, fishing companies and other boaters, trucking and logistics, law enforcements, protection of good and properties, The application is limitless.
Add to that emergency services (Fire rescue, ambulance, e.t.c)

[/quote]It's not the education system. It's the sheep mentality. It appears quite a few people either didn't bother reading the article, didn't fully read it, or didn't even understand it yet decided to blindly condem the project once they saw others doing so. Ermm actually, it could be the education system after all. sad

Also, the claim of 1cm accuracy by the Lagos state Government is a shameless lie.
Weather the statement is true or not I don not know however, you should know that statement was made by GeoQinetiq and not the Lagos State government.

OMFG people! They are only going there for one week. They are not going there to renonce their Nigerian citizenship and live forever on Lagos public money. The rest of their school lives (on public money) will be spent in Nigeria. ONE WEEK!

Actually it is. He was warned via a peaceful protest not to attempt coming to Ibadan by the people. It doesn't get much more civilised than that.

@mariory,
just because you havent seen this news doesnt give you room to discredit or false it, and i wouldnt raise a topic out of my imagination.

I saw this on Supercreen yesterday,and heard the Gm water corporation seeking a bill to stop borehole sinking, am only doing my little part creating awareness for something i feel affects a large majority of lagosians, water is life my broda!
I am not attempting to discredit anything. I never said you lied. I just find it funny that people are arguing over something of which they actually know nothing about.
I am not accusing you of anything but, people have a tendency to spin stories to suit their specific agendas or they just misunderstand what they hear/see. That is why a source that others can read/see in order to make up their own mind up is important.
PoliticsRe: Picture Of Slums In The Usa by Mariory(m): 2:56pm On Jul 31, 2010
Sagamite: What you call slums in the USA in regards to infrastructure and building aesthetics is actually what are nice apartments and areas in most of Lagos.

So pointing to their "slums" to console yourself about you slums in Makoko, Ajegunle, Mile 2, Bariga etc is deceiving yourself to console yourself.

If what is shown above is regarded as "slum", then Nigerian slums should be changed to "Hell".

Your upper middle class places like Eric Moore Towers, 2004 Towers (exterior and streets) that some pride themselves on are no better than most projects.
Wow, you really do have identity and self confidence issues don't you. When did anyone refer to this as a competition between slums in Nigeria and the US? Actually, I can't really be bothered. Carry on.

PoliticsRe: Tribute To Nigerian Military In Pictures by Mariory(m): 2:30am On Jul 31, 2010
The F-7Ni as far as I am aware is a stop gap measure to our air defense. I do not believe it will be our primary long term air defense aircraft. Having said that, the aircraft is suitable for the area in which it will operate (West Africa) should it come to that.
And only a very insane fool will compare the Nigerian military with that of the USA. No military force on earth can be compared to that of the U.S in terms of conventional warfare.
PoliticsRe: Lagos Water Corporation Seeks Bill To Stop Borehole Sinking! by Mariory(m): 2:22am On Jul 31, 2010
I have a question for all those fighting. Do you guys even know the actual contents of the so called "bill"? How do you all know what valacious said is the truth? I havn't seen this news anywhere apart from this thread. Funny lot you guys are.
PoliticsRe: Picture Of Slums In The Usa by Mariory(m): 2:12am On Jul 31, 2010
Sagamite:
The community and the roads here look far better than Ilupeju, Ketu, Yaba, Ajah and a lot of places for the upper middle class in Nigeria, yet you think you can compare it to a Nigerian slum.

Nigerians and deceiving themselves.
How so? Are those slums not real? The point is the US is perhaps several hundred years ahead of Nigeria in development and it still has slums. Kind of puts things in perspective.
PoliticsRe: General Institutional Stupidity Of Most Nigerians - The Bakassi/obudu Case by Mariory(m): 2:09am On Jul 31, 2010
tpiah:
the real issue here is the nigerian govt should have at least three obudu style ranches in different parts of the country.

i see no reason why they cant have one in ondo state [plenty of forestland there], another one somewhere around abuja and a third one in kaduna or it's environs-anywhere not prone to civil unrest.

the ondo one should be located closer to the north central part of the state and away from the militant headquarters in the south. In addition, they should get rid of the armed robber/political problems plaguing the area, so these plans can be implemented.
I thought Obudu belonged to the Cross River government. If you want one in another state, direct your request to that state government.

You do understand that this is U20 right? That means it is perfectly acceptable and within the rules to field adults (over 18).

The Iranian government funds Hezbolla and Hamas. Enough said really. What you should do is ask ordinary Iranian civilians what they think of their current government. I happen to know quite a few Iranians.
I dare you to go tell an Iranian to their face that they are pupets of the CIA because they protest against Ham-a-dinner-jacket. I doubt your face will last long in it's current configuration.

Spoken from the headquaters of the "new radicalised revolutionary movement", the United Kingdom. Are you going to direct the youth army over the internet?

Convicted of terrorism, a Kurdish teenager is serving a seven-year, nine-month prison sentence in Turkey’s Prison E in Diyarbakir.

On October 9, 15-year-old Berivan Sayaca left her parents’ home in Batman in southeast Turkey to pay a visit to her aunt. She never came home.

The Turkish charity at the centre of the raid by Israeli forces on an aid vessel in the Mediterranean was under intense scrutiny last night over its alleged links with militant organisations.

Despite their claims to be an entirely peaceful organisation, The Foundation for Human Rights, Freedoms and Humanitarian Relief (IHH) has a history of involvement in Islamic extremism around the world and has been linked with an attempted bombing of an airport in the US.
