ifihearam: What blunder?

You travel ni, abi are you a learner?

ifihearam: Hello does the word "unanimous"mean anything to you?
Did GEJ take the decision all by himself?

Shuuu

You don come with your lie. So, who carries the whole burden? You want take grammar take cover everything abi? to even think of finding an excuse for him speaks volume of the type of person you are. I know he's your kinsman, but please for once call a spade a spade

talk2s: Though I'm not in support of that decision by the 'Council of State', not 'GEJ' unilaterally (as many of you have alleged), but all of you that are abusing and cursing our Country's Number citizen with reckless abandon for this outcome, be sincere to yourselves, were you in his (GEJ's) shoes, where your former boss is involved, WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN YOUR POSITION when that matter came up?
Just asking a question-o witout calling anybody any name-o !

ko ni da fun e. omo ale! is this your post not enough to annoy someone to raise curses on you?

maj007: It's a pitty I was among those that thumb printed this administration into power. What a regretful decision by some of us.

They can as well alter our constitution to legalise corruption.

I hope they did not forget to include BODE GEORGE.

RASCALSSSSSSS.

How do you mean they did not forget Bode George? Haven't you read on this thread that the attorney general said Bode was tried in error? Meaning...? Well, your guess is as good as mine.

One lesson I have learnt from this whole saga, and particularly from Fashola's government, is that what ever action you take or do not take, certainly people will talk: some will support you and others will not. In other words, you just go ahead and do what ever you think is appropriate and let your conscience judge you before God.

Fash himself said it in one his 100 days in office parley, that you don't expect everybody to agree with your policy, that as a matter of fact it is not even good for the polity as all of us can not sleep and face the same direction. He said there are instances where his government had to have a rethink as a result of superior argument.

Now, when the market was first closed, the abuses the governor received on this forum was out of this world. but today nko, this same people are praising him.

mustashfa: THIS VIDEO IS MISLEADING. THE ARABIC WORD " FIBILADI SUDAN" means SUDAN as a country.
WHAT DOES SUDAN HAS TO DO WITH NIGERIA?

People that kill innocents in the name of religion are wrong

you beat me to it. you know, i was going to ask that question too, what has SUDAN got to do with the issue in Nigeria?

I honestly don't blame those that are pouring aspersion on Islam. There is a proverb in Yoruba: "Omo osa, lo nko ponpo ba'ya e". Loosely meaning that; it is a bad child that brings aspersion on his/her mother

blink182: CAC Nigeria Should Make Their Database Public

I believe it has come to the point where Corporate Affairs Commission should add a space to their website where people can check if their business name is available and if it is not, get recommendations just like when a new website name is about to be registered and spare business people the heart break.

What do you guys think about the idea?

create one for them and get paid for it. approaching them with the idea

rhymz: You see my friend, one of the reasons why people don't take southwest led opposition seriously is because it is not done out of sincerity of purpose, no matter what this present Government does, people from the SW that have been largely led to believe that Jonathan is the problem will always find fault.
All your comments and post have been based on sentiments and gut-feelings occassioned by the little devil on your shoulders whispering to you what may have happened as opposed to the facts presented. Can you quote any newspaper publication where JTF have had to lie about an anti-Bokoharam fight that never happened only for them to manufacture weapons and use innocent people as BK boys? Or are you just here to tell us about the little devils on your shoulders dancing azonto are telling you happened?
My guy, many of us have had opportunities to be in the north and witness these things ourselves, I think I can argue from a more informed point than you, usimg conjectures and ifs and buts to make illogical conclusions.

At the boldened: I really don't understand what you are trying to say there, but if I get you, I think you are asking me to point to the fact that the JTF may not have been lying about their operation in Borno, am I right?

Yes! Emphatically yes! If they have not been lying all this while, they actaully lied about the cache of arms they claimed to have discovered about GEJ's visit to Borno. Read comment on this site (in another thread though) and you will find out that they have been telling us lies all this while.

Sincere 9gerian: By Jide Ajani, Kingsley Omonobi & Ndahi Marama

…Massive arms including anti-aircraft guns, rocket propelled grenades recovered after visit to Borno…


The alleged recovery of three anti-aircraft guns, two technical vehicles mounted with anti-aircraft stands and 10 rocket propelled grenades, in a cache of arms,in Maiduguri, on Friday, lent credence to the claim of the plot to attack the president’s plane.

Besides the anti-aircraft guns and rocket propelled grenades, the massive arms the Joint Task Force (JTF) in Maiduguri, the day the president left the state capital after the visit, include 17 AK rifles, general purpose machine guns, three G3 rifles, 20 RPG bombs, 12 RPG chargers, 1 x 36 ,hand held grenades, one tear gas rifle, 33 AK 47 magazines, 11 FN magazines, three G 3 magazines and 11,068 assorted ammunitions.

My question, just like I asked in another thread is; do you mean they produce all this things in Borno?

So, who is not doing his/her job here, or did all this find their way into the coountry that has border patrol and all sorts of security agents at our borders, airports and seaports.

Little wonder the excuse on fuel subsidy was predicated on smuggling has if the smugglers hide it in their pocket

I noticed that all the men dressed in attires that covers all their body while the women are exposing their 'not to be exposed'. What's that for, are they looking for husband ni?

Amaaskia: Oh please, she is free to wear whatever she wants. Its the 21st century, its her body, its her name, its her everything. So puhlease, free her! I'd totally wear that and feel beautiful.

omo ale

With all this years of killing all the numbers they have been brandishing to our face, I expect BH boys to have gone into extinction. Just like others have rightly pointed out, I hope it is not innocent people that make up this 52 people.

ronkeenuf: I expect that boko haram should have lost its hold with the number of deaths and arrests being reported . I just hope innocent people are not affected. Moreover, if jtf is this successful, why cry for external help. All in all, I can't wait for the northern Nigerian violence to be ebbed.

That's my point too

bakila: This is no thinking forum . Its post with ignorance first think later or abuse whoever makes sense to get likes to post by others. We hope or pray that Jonathan and the Borno Youth get the wisdom to do the right thing. The elders of that area the courage to do what is right.
All this media stunt is not the solution.
Thank good u have first hand or second hand direct contact.

You make me laugh. Let's change the name 'Thinking Nairaland' then

rhymz: You are obviously NAIVE and probably have not left Lagos before or the southwest region.
So FG and JTF will just came up with a story about BokoHaram and bomb churches and mosques? For what? So the Borno contigents told you that Borno is peaceful state and Bokoharam only exists in the figments of newspapers thrills and exaggerations.
So you were expecting to see a violent Borno state contingent or what? Guy grow up abeg. It is because they know you are naive and ignorant of the goings-on that is why they gave you a picture you want to see. You telling them that southerners generally see everyone from the state as a Bokoharam member or that all of them had been killed by Bokoharam showed how lacking you are in analysing issues and they probably sensed it and chose to make it easier for you by coming down to your level of understanding.

Fine. But my point is still that the situation could not have been as worse as it is being painted by the media, otherwise there is not suppose to be people living in Borno State as of now.

Yes, you are correct, I have not left Lagos before (to the North at least), but that does not mean I'm totally oblivious of the happenings there. And who says FG or JTF can not come up with stories about BH bombing mosque or church? Were you not in this country when they told us the GEJ's wife went to Germany for Holiday, only for her to come back and tell us not to mind them, that she was actually dead for 7 days and only rose up by God's divine intervention. So, why shouldn't I think that the FG can make up stories? Remember that the JTF is an extention of the FG, so they could have been flocking together.

brownlord: JTF please level that state called burno so we can turn that bush to olympic stadium, both the elders and the youth, kill every single thing, animals should not be excluded, just sweep everything, i sware the state and the homo sapien living there is of no ecomomic important to Nig. State, thanks again bro GEJ for telling bruthari, Atiku, elrufai, Shekau, and all those animals that no amnesty for them, pls do this last tin, increase the numbers of jtf in that area, so they can smoke out this rat from their hole, up jtf

See what newspaper has done to the son of Adam.

And you know what, my heart bleeds at the realization that you went to school, and I pitied those that sacrificed all they have for you to be educated. Is this how you want to pay them back?

Now, as a young person, who is aspiring to become a manager or a boss one day, is this how you are going to manage a critical situation, crush your enemies to death? By the way, from your rantlings up there, I want to believe you are a Christian, so is this what you are being taught in church? Do you realise you are doing a great diservice to fellow Christians? Is this Christ way?

I'm ashamed of you. Though it is your opinion, but it is a satanic one. How are you different from the real problem at hand gan? Does it not appear you are both fighting for the same cause in different ways now?

ecosanders: muslims havent protest or condemn? U must b out of ur mind, did u kw d number of ppl dat hav lost their lives by mere criticizing BH? Stay in ur comfort zone n spew rubbish

.

confusion247: Do you also know how many that lost their lives during your useless demonstrations on a mere cartoon? You should never be afraid to say the truth. Don't condone evil as northerners are doing because they want dialogue and amnesty for murderers. Condemn evil.
Yes I will always be in the comfort of my zone because my zone didn't promise to make Nigeria hell and ungovernable for Jonathan. More over my zone doesn't breed terrorists. Just live with that.

Let me tell you that BH started from the mosque, killing Imams that were castigating them that what they are (were) doing is not right, that it was unislamic. That was the genesis of the whole BH story; it actually started as a muslim/muslim conflict which resulted into the arrest of their leader Muhammed Yusuf, who was extra judiciously killed in police custody. For your information, it was after the arrest and death of Yusuf that the whole thing bomeranged and got out of hands. And I think it was at this point that it was hijacked by some people somewhere, because if you can recollect, majority of the members then were illiterate women and children who may have been brain washed.

So, to say Muslims have not demonstrated against it is very far from the truth. So many Muslims have been killed in the past simply because they criticized BH.

The Joint Task Force in Borno State says 52 members of the dreaded Islamic sect the Boko Haram were killed in a clash with security forces yesterday in Maiduguri the state capital.

The success is coming just one day after the president; Dr Goodluck Jonathan had lavished praises on the JTF for its gallantry in the fight against the menace of the Boko Haram during his two day official visit to Borno state.

A statement made available to newsmen in Maiduguri the Borno State capital by the JTF spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Sagir Musa reveals that JTF lost two personnel in the operation carried out between 3:00 and 8:00 PM yesterday around Bulabulin, Bayern quarters and Jajeri areas of Maiduguri metropolis.

The operation according to the statement was based on information and intelligent report leading to series of operations for the past ten days.

During the operation which witnessed stiff resistance yesterday by the insurgents according to the statement, ten out of the 52 killed are commanders of the insurgent, while three personnel of the security forces sustained injuries and are currently receiving treatment in an undisclosed hospital.

Yesterday’s operation according to Sagir Musa recorded the largest arms recovery ever made by the JTF since the commencement of the insurgency.

Items recovered include 3 anti-aircraft guns, 10 Rocket Propelled Grenade Tubes, 3 General Purpose Machine Gun (GPMG) and 17 AK 47 Rifles.

Others include; 20 RPG Bombs, 12 RPG chargers, 36 hand-held grenades, 33 AK47 magazines, 11 FN magazines and 11,068 assorted Ammunitions.

The operation according to the statement also led to the recovery of two technical vehicles with mounted anti-aircraft stands, five walkie-talkies, 4 VHF hand held sets and assorted uniforms and kits among others.

The statement also thanked members of the public and JTF moles in the Boko Haram camp for the timely information and asking other people to do same in the fight against the sects.

You know, something use to amuse me about this BH issues. Since all this days that the JTF has been killing 52, 28, 14 members, and so on, of the BH boys, aren't they suppose to have finished? Or are they being imported from another State or Country?

During the recently concluded Sports Festival in Lagos, I had the privileged of discussing with the contingents from Borno State, they actually stayed in the halls of residence close to my office (Great El-Kanemi Hall) and they told me not to believe all the news I read about Boko and Borno in general.

I told them of how we read in the newspaper that almost everybody in Borno State in a BH or has been killed, and they just laughed it off.

Another very interesting thing about this contingent, which I must not fail to point out, is that they were well organised (100 Likes for them). Well behaved, no troubles what so ever. Unlike Abia state that were fighting over money. One athlete beat-up his coach when they asked those that were out of the competitions to start preparing to go back to the state. They fought over money and others things like that.

So, it just baffles me. Honestly, I don't know who to believe. Seems the JTF and FG are playing some stunts out of this BH thing. I don't think it could have been this worse. Except BH are being backed by some super powers somewhere. I know an average Nigerian wouldn't want to face the super fire power of soldiers. Let's think, please

BUSH MAN: same here in london,infact i am embarrased to call myself a nigerian some times,even the british embassy treat me with more respect than my own country embassy, infact why dont we sell this mess of a country called nigeria to the chinese and we all share the money and every body go their way with their share

and where are we going to spend the share?

sapien: Some deluded folks keep citing Wole Soyinka, Gani Fawehinmi, Tony Elumelu et al, as references to their failure.
Do you know the circumstances that made these men of inestimable value graduate with third class?

Can you compare the fierce competition in present day Nigeria with Nigeria in the 60's?
Just like my dad would say, anything less than a 2.2 is a failure!

You prolly went to school for four years to frolick!
No randy lecturer will sexually assault an intelligent student!
They only seek for the unintelligent, fashion conscious bimbos, who have got nothing upstairs than to flaunt their endowment.

Some are even making it sound as if making 1.1 or 2.1 is an abomination.
Like seriously, what is Nigeria turning into?
I'm presently an undergraduate in a second generation federal university, south of the Niger, and on a very strong 2.1.

I can't just settle for less! I got to motivate my kids in the future to study hard with my result.
I can't imagine myself wedging my certificate in the corner of my wardrobe in order to avoid my children sighting it.

You are very correct to a very strong extent my friend. I got a 3rd class my self, in Mathematics, at the University of Lagos, and that's a failure by all standard just like you rightly pointed out and I take all responsibility for it. As a matter of fact, I had already know I was going to graduate with a 3rd class right from my 2nd semester year 3, made attempt to change but it didn't work. Besides, I never hide it from anyone- all my course mates knew the situation as early as then.

But you see my friend, the lesson here is that sometimes your class of degree may not necessarily determine what you make of your life. Though, it may at some instances, there is no denying that fact. What I'm trying to say is that you can still make it look as if it never happened through hard work and creativity.

My problem is I'm trying to correlate your statements together; you seem to be confused.

sundayk: third class does not mean all is finished.

Agreed

sundayk: Success itself is a journey.

Another good point

sundayk: Its better not to have a degree at all rather than to graduate with third class(for me).

This is where you muddled it up

sundayk: Companies/Organizations these days demands for 2-2 at least before you can write their test.

Well, perhaps because you and many others have put your destinies in their hands.

May be you would want to tell us exactly what you mean

slex the boss: Am not igbo. I am Yoruba but my favorite club is enyimba. Shame on the poster that wrote he doesnt support igbo club. First of , no one asked you which club you supported. Secondly , no one cares who you are and where you come from because you are insignificant. Thirdly because of dim-wits like you. Nigeria still is backward. EWU. ONYARA.

I'm Yoruba, my favourite club has always been Insurance of Benin before Oyinbo come take over. Even at that, I still love Insurance but don't know if they still exist.

Can't forget Stationary Stores vs. Insurance, 1993 FA Cup Semi-Final (i think it was challenge cup then).

The likes of Leye Akide, Abiodun Obafemi, Tokunbo Gbadamosi, Ike Shorunmu, Abdul Sule, John Frimpong and Joe Mensah, (Ghanaians, I think).

The match was played trice at the National Stadium before stores eventually won on penalties.

I totally agree with the person that says your degree is in you. I graduated with a 3rd class in mathematics at the university of lagos, yes, a 3rd class and i have never looked for job, and would never look for job.

you may contact me if you need a job; check my profile- do me a mail, i got some openings coming up

COOLDUN: From your comment you seem to be a kind man, and God fearing too, it is not bad to take care of your late brother's wife, but thinking of having an affair with her or remarrying her is never good and advisable.

I don't know what a woman with 5 children and a grown up man, as son is looking for in marriage again. My advice to you is to try to raise some fund for her to start any business which she can handle, so that she will not be more dependent on you as you have your own family too.

She can have a male friend which all of you her family members should know about, but remarrying is not the best option. She has sacrificed a lot for the family. If she really love her dead husband , she should honor him by staying behind and take care of their children. Your family members should encourage and support her to stay. Marriage is never the solution as she do not know what she will meet at her new matrimonial home.

My father's junior brother died and left a very pretty young and educated woman, what my father did after she finished mourning her late husband was to call her and asked her what she wanted to do then, my father began his words by first letting her to know that God had made her a member of our family, never mind that death had put asunder in her marriage. My father made her to know that all of us love her and are very ready to have her as our sister in law.My father told her that anything she decided then would be accepted by all the family members. Then she had a son and 2 daughters.

When my father finished talking to her, she fell down and held my father's feet and swore that she will never leave our family to any where, till death take her away. We all busted into tears and hugged her, and reassured her of our everlasting love for her.

Today she is still with us, her daughters are all married, his son is married with 3 kids now, my father sold some of our lands and raised some money for her to start business. She is doing greatly. She has a male friend which all the family members know and respect so much. If your family love that woman, then don't let her leave.She need you all now.

i think we should ask this man his tribe before advising him or what to do or what not to do.

if he is a yoruba man of the south-west extract, there is nothing bad, societally, about him remarrying his late brother's wife. infact, that is the norm, and it is not by compulsion. the woman is given a choice to choose between still staying in the family to remarry someone from the family, preferably a younger person to the deceased, or she 'get married' to her children or she goes out and marry someone else.

in the event that she marries someone else, she cease to have any right to the husband's property or estate.

but come to think of it. wouldn't it have been better for this man to remarry this women than for another man to be snicking into the woman's apartment at odd hours? remember he said she's 30something years old, and a woman of that age, as a matter of fact, still needs a man.

i'm somehow in that dilemma too. the only difference between me and him is that i can't get married to the woman in my own case because i have elder ones who will first be given the first right of refusal. but i'm taking care of her within my resources even though i'm still single. i just wonder how she's been coping for the past two years

gbosaa: In conclusion, as a christian I don't want to cheat my own "housewife" or look like I'm commiting adultery or fornication. What Can I do? to marry her, OR to tell her to leave my brother's house to go and marry another person with five children.

Please I need your Help.




Why would you evict them from their own house,the house was started by her late husband[your brother]so should be for her and her children even though you and your family helped to complete.did you do that to help his widow and kids or as a plan to take over ownership...some things are not quite right here,im not in support of polygamy but if you,your wife and kids,your late brothers wife and kids are ok with that,why not give it a go.

The idea of sending them away from a house initiated by their husband and dad isnt nice..something tells me your late brothers account might,ve been accessed by your family,what happened to his business if he had one,money in the bank and other assets??

and why are you trying to foster what you believe or do not believe on him. who cares about what you believe or not. you could have done the worst if you were in his shoe. nonesense, see as he dey talk like say him be saint

VOICEOFTHEMASES: HOW GEJ is going to win APC come 2015.

Well, you have well spoken my friend. If only the people's would be made to count, it would not be as easy as you have just painted it.
