As Fela would say "dem regular trademark"
Jon.Bee:
Jos, Plateau: A CHRISTIAN governor of a predominantly christian state in Nigeria, recently pronounced a ban on TROUSERS for female in the Govt. house & public institutions etc.
This flagrant display of christian EXTREMISM was met with the hypocritical christian SILENCE (dem regular trademark) and despite the crusadists ideologically imposing the BIBLICAL LAW (for gender dressing) on everyone irrespective of faith, be it Islam or Atheist.
(Imagine a ban on every form of female dressing that's not hijab! Umph! OMG! Did I hear you shout?)

Talking about double standard -for which the Christians are known for- the christian dominated media have bee quiet on this one (since it isn't about Muslim sharia etc.) Whither are the Supreme Council on Shariah to oppose this ruling?
The blogosphere and forum e.g NL have add their twist to the development. In their usual wave of hand they have subtly insinuated that the bible & the christian faith have nothing to do with the ugly trend. Some have even taken their antics further by laying the blame on sharia or Muslims. What arrogance?

When it's Islam banking they went gung-ho! screaming Nigeria is a SECULAR state.
Now that it's christian trouser banning they are MUTE DEAF! All of a sudden secularity is no more an issue and Ayo's CAN lost its bawling?

Is this the face of Christianity?
Boko Haram at work. Allow christains to define their existence, Mr. taliban.

Who paid this money and what is the source of the money?
Such is a bail bond and not paid cash. It is a pledge by the shortee that in the event that the accused commit contempt of the court he (the shortee) will have to pay the said sum of money to the court.

this is the problem with freedom of expressions. some abuse such freedom by expressing what they feel even from their sleep. why is it David Mark's sole responsibility to stop the killings in the north? is David Mark the governor or president of the north? does it matters now if the south support him as senate president? pls let the south support whoever will stop the killing in the north.

PoliticsIntense Interest Surrounds Dog Who May Have Participated In Bin Laden Raid by markiris(op): 9:56pm On May 05, 2011
Americans are fascinated by the anonymous U.S. Navy SEALs who daringly raided Osama bin Laden's Abbottabad, Pakistan compound this week, but one canine commando is attracting especially fervent interest.
According to the New York Times and the British tabloid The Sun, a military dog (not pictured) was strapped onto one of the assault team members as he was lowered out of a Black Hawk helicopter and began the operation that killed the notorious terrorist on Monday. But who is this canine hero?
Sadly, we know very little, and the Pentagon hasn't confirmed that a dog was even on the mission, much less release information about the canine's name or breed.
"Little is known about what may be the nation's most courageous dog," the Times' Gardner Harris writes. He speculates that the dog was most likely a German shepherd or a Belgian Malinois, since those are the breeds most often found in the military's 2,700-strong military dog program. (A new breed, however, is becoming popular with the troops. Labrador retrievers have begun to "wander off-leash 100 yards or more in front of patrols to ensure the safety of the route."wink
The Pentagon and White House are keeping tight-lipped about the details of the operation, but that, of course, hasn't prevented commentators from speculating on the dog's role based on the functions of other war dogs in combat. "It's possible that the commandos brought a specialized search dog, which would have been sent in ahead of the humans to find explosives or people hidden inside the building," Slate's Brian Palmer writes. Or the dog could have been a "combat tracker"--canines who are specially trained to sniff out individuals and then follow their trail. Saddam Hussein was found in a hole under a hut--the assault team could have decided that they needed a good tracking dog in case bin Laden had a similar idea.
Dogs are increasingly important in America's combat operations abroad, and some have been outfitted with special (and adorable) "doggles" to protect their eyes, oxygen masks to protect their lungs as they parachute out with soldiers at high altitudes, and even waterproof vests that contain infrared cameras that transmit video back to servicemen watching a monitor yards behind them. Check out Foreign Policy's beautiful photo essay on military dogs here.
Luckily for this courageous and anonymous furry creature, there is some precedent for war dogs receiving military honors. The Navy awarded a Silver Star in 2009 to a dog named Remco who gave his life charging "an insurgent's hide-out in Afghanistan," Harris writes. According to Foreign Policy, another dog named Eli fiercely guarded his Marine, Private First Class Carlton Rusk, after he was shot by Taliban sniper fire in Afghanistan. Rusk's bomb-sniffing dog would not even let fellow Marines approach the wounded Rusk, who did not survive the attack. Eli now lives with Rusk's family.
The dog's role was not mentioned in any of the public White House press briefings on bin Laden's death. Pentagon spokeswoman Elizabeth Robbins wrote in an e-mail to The Lookout in response to our question about the dog that the Pentagon has "no additional operational details, or comments on operational details, to make at this time."

PoliticsRe: Quit Politics Now, Yakasai Tells Obasanjo, Buhari by markiris: 4:54pm On May 04, 2011
myinfobell:
KANO -Elder statesman, and former Special Adviser to President Shehu Shagari, Alhaji Tanko Yakasai has urged Chief Olusegun Obasanjo and General Muhammadu Buhari to quit partisan politics now in the interest of national unity.

Tanko Yakasai’s advice to Chief Olusegun Obasanjo of the Peoples Democratic Party and General Muhammadu Buhari of the Congress for Progressive Change, came on the heels of the formal announcement by General Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida to quit active politics by 2015.

Indeed. David Mark is one of the most pro-elite and anti-people politician in Nigeria today. Him and Ekweremadu (deputy senate President) are bad news .
You are entitle to ur back yard opinions about the man. You are definitely the one that is anti-people. Black belly people. You must be CPC.
PoliticsRe: Bukola Saraki Tip For Senate President by markiris: 9:27pm On Apr 29, 2011
That is not possible. He does not entirely owns pdp so the law can not just be changed over night for his sake. There is nothing exceptional about him been a senate president. He can make useful contribution at the senate without necessariry been the senate president. He is not more pragmatic than D. Mark, so why Him?
