As you know, i don't generally agree with your very extreme views but I can relate to what you are stating. I disagree with you on the basis that humans use all kinds of factors (intimacy, religion, skin color, region of ancestry, wealth, etc) to discriminate against one another. I also disagree because we equally discriminate against one another in the land of our fathers. So why should we complain about being discriminated against by people who are different to us in so many ways when we still discriminate against ourselves at home. But I do not disagree with your observations in the UK.

reminds me of a friend who said he would rather remain in the developed world and be discriminated in a society where things work than return back to Nigeria where in the north he is discriminated against for being from a minority tribe (in the north) and practicing a minority religion (he is a Christian).

@londoner, okay all is forgiven.
Tell your man Kele to come to Nigeria and pick a groom of his choice.
We will not cut off his wee wee.
I vouch for the whole country, he will be safe to pick and test as he desires.

From Ibrahim Shuaibu in Dutse and Gboyega Akinsanmi in Lagos, 05.30.2010
Jigawa State Governor, Alhaji Sule Lamido, has described former Vice-President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, as a symbol of democracy in Nigeria.
Lamido said this yesterday in Dutse when the former Vice-President visited him as part of this year’s Democracy Day celebration.
He said "The main symbol of democracy is today in our midst. And that symbol is the former Vice president to Obasanjo at the dawn of democracy in 1999".
Lamido said Atiku single-handedly restored Nigeria's battered democratic image by his steadfastness and struggle to the enthronement of the system in the country.
"We are all aware of his efforts in which he restored Nigeria's soiled democracy," said Governor Lamido, pointing out that with the likes of Atiku, democracy will continue to thrive.”


Reacting to the accolades, Atiku said the missing link in the contemporary Nigeria is the inconsistent electoral system, bad leadership and utter neglect of the educational sector by successive governments.
Atiku spoke at a round table discussion organised by the Jigawa State government to mark this year’s democracy Day celebration with the theme : “The contemporary Nigeria: where is the missing links” .
According to him, the missing link in the country is bad leadership and values. He insisted that the electorate and politicians must ensure credible elections in 2011, which according to him, is the only solution to sustain our democracy.
Former Minister of Information during the President Olusegun Obasanjo administration, Professor Jerry Gana also called on Nigerians to conduct free, fair and credible elections in 2011 to correct the past mistakes.


Gana said that: “The two missing links in our democratic system is the level of leadership and values. We are people who have lost our values; we have plenty of religious people but no righteousness, plenty of piety but no holiness, plenty of education but no character, plenty of leadership but no vision.”
He also observed that the military regimes changed the mode of leadership in Nigeria when it introduced their hierarchical nature of leadership which is now being adopted by politicians.
Meanwhile former presidential candidate of the defunct National Republican Convention (NRC) in the 1993 general election, Alhaji Bashir Tofa yesterday said successive administrations since the return of democracy in Nigeria in 1999 only succeeded in entrenching culture of corruption.

Wetin be Lyricist on the roll sef? It's a useless and unecessary category that should be scrapped.

aieromon:
Now you see why i think the HHWA is shyt

Ayo has no integrity and no sane person can take this award serious with this crap happening every year.
I am sure it was Mode nine that even coined that category sef.

londoner:
This guy is gay and he is probably sleeping with a concenting adult (even though I dont agree with it), meanwhile one of our senators has married and may have already slept with a thirteen year old girl, and people have the cheek to say Kele has misplaced priorities, lol

There you go again!!!
what planet have you been on?
People have been making their voices heard non stop for the last 3 wees about yerima.
due processes have begun, petitions have been submitted and all that.
What do you want us to do?cut of Yerima's Joystick?
just because one man slept with a minor does not make us a nation of pedophiles.
after all in europe people have slept with minors and the law too its course in a gradual and meticulous manner.
I care less who and what kelechi Okereke opens his backside to.i am more concerned about him making sweeping generalizations to look cool to his gay community.

londoner:
I remember the rubbish some people here were spewing because some Nigerians in the Uk decided to show Obasanjo the disgust they had for him. They ran to his defence and all in the name of him being an "elder".

you err again.
That is the beauty of democracy.everyone has a right to air a view no matter how wrong.Those supporting Obasonjo had a right to and did just that.
It does not make them right.
After all, BNP has supporters in the UK.

londoner:
Nigerian culture in general DOES treat women as second class citizens along with young people. The reason why Nigeria is in this mess is because noone dares stand up to the elder people who are doing the country wrong

That is not true at all. People have been standing up and are still standing up to the injustice in the country.It is just that the monster we face is so gigantic that victory is taking longer than imagined.By the way, what have you done to clear the mess? apart from sitting behind your laptop to type sermons?
There may be limitations in the way women are treated in the country but the same applies all over to varying degrees.Even in the western world there are boardroom celings limiting women in the corporate world.
I guess he needs to try Saudi Arabia et al?

it should be the exclusive preserve of Italian male footballers.

pls let him stay where he is.
we have enough issues to deal with here.

Bros, Sorry oh. Working with these Widows can be tricky, I have to cross a lot of Ts and properly dot the Is to prevent any stories. The Secod one you reseleceted cannot be reached so I am trying to make physical contact with The serious ones so that by Tuesday, we can put this behind us. It is very important to be really careful and meticulus in this our work thus the delay.
Thanks
Beyound that, each year we host a football tournment for all the orphaages in Abuja, the finals for this year comes up next week so it has been a crazy week for me. No Vex

check your mailbox i beg.

and this found its way to the front page
Seun and his moderators must be high on 2 weeks old fermented urine.
If this is meant to be funny, it ain't funny at all.

there is no hope.
We are doomed.
unless there is a revolution; the coming of a Pharoah that does not know Joseph.
All the solutions been enunciated here all entail a retention of the present political class.
The frank truth is there can never be a solution with these set of crooks on the scene.
until they are eradicated and the rest of the people see that justice will be swift and their will be no more room to enjoy the loot, there will be no change.
You will be surprised how easily Nigerians will fall in line.
until then the looters are busy while the bloggers are spewing plenty grammar and even more theories.

with all the spots taken, any reserve bench for those of us still interested?
whichever way, lets go there.
time to roll Mzansi way.

aisha2:

For those who participated in the EPL fantasy league, Nations cup and UCL fantasy leagues, it was fun while it lasted
now the World Cup is here and y'all should come and test your coaching nous and lets see if you Amodu really deserved all the curses he got from you guys ( i cursed him too)

Its simple, you pick a set of players per round and you score points based on the performances of the playes selected. I guess the new guys coming on board will have to read the rules and get to know how it works. The site will be up and running proper by June 4th, 2010 so, you can go ahead and register as from now

we'll be having 2 leagues here-  Classic league ( not different from the EPL fantasy format) and
The  Head to Head league where everybody gets to square up with another member

without much ado, the links to the leagues are below

Classic league
In a classic league your overall score is ranked against all other players in the league; the link is below

Oba234:
I don't know if I ever experience injustice because I don't pay atten.tion to things like that

I never used to pay attention until i tried subletting a room in my apartment.
folks sounded desperate and very interested in responses to my advert.
The moment they heard my voice on the phone or saw me when they came to inspect the room they came up with the most ridiculous excuses you could ever imagine.
After repeated humiliations i just gave up and moved into a smaller apartment.
Only then did i realize the truth in this old poem;

Telephone Conversation
by Wole Soyinka



The price seemed reasonable, location
Indifferent. The landlady swore she lived
Off premises. Nothing remained
But self-confession. "Madam," I warned,
"I hate a wasted journey—I am African."
Silence. Silenced transmission of
Pressurized good-breeding. Voice, when it came,
Lipstick coated, long gold rolled
Cigarette-holder pipped. Caught I was foully.
"HOW DARK?" . . . I had not misheard . . . "ARE YOU LIGHT
OR VERY DARK?" Button B, Button A.* Stench
Of rancid breath of public hide-and-speak.
Red booth. Red pillar box. Red double-tiered
Omnibus squelching tar. It was real! Shamed
By ill-mannered silence, surrender
Pushed dumbfounded to beg simplification.
Considerate she was, varying the emphasis--
"ARE YOU DARK? OR VERY LIGHT?" Revelation came.
"You mean--like plain or milk chocolate?"
Her assent was clinical, crushing in its light
Impersonality. Rapidly, wave-length adjusted,
I chose. "West African sepia"--and as afterthought,
"Down in my passport." Silence for spectroscopic
Flight of fancy, till truthfulness clanged her accent
Hard on the mouthpiece. "WHAT'S THAT?" conceding
"DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS." "Like brunette."
"THAT'S DARK, ISN'T IT?" "Not altogether.
Facially, I am brunette, but, madam, you should see
The rest of me. Palm of my hand, soles of my feet
Are a peroxide blond. Friction, caused--
Foolishly, madam--by sitting down, has turned
My bottom raven black--One moment, madam!"--sensing
Her receiver rearing on the thunderclap
About my ears--"Madam," I pleaded, "wouldn't you rather
See for yourself?"

tkb417:
LOL

This is getting interesting. a female colleague saw our posts yesterday and she made a good point yesterday.
she said, we all cant be on the same page and we should allow for dissenting views and interestingly, she on Naijakings side

so i guess we can do this without recourse to personal attacks. I withdraw all my offensive posts o if there are any

@Mbulela
my guy, relax jare

Noted.
I also render my own apology to all concerned.
I hope this will be my last post on naijaking1-related Sanusi thread.
I'm outta here.
Peace!!!

put am here.

HOTandCOLD:
At least none of the contributors died. We thank God for that. But i lost a close friend because of okada. I was in naija in '05 and i missed him because of my schedule so when he came to London in '06 we planned to get together but he had to rush to naija for his traditional wedding. I got a call the following week that he was involved in an okada accident. HE DIED. It was surreal. Right now i'm scared of okada and i think i have what can be medically classified as "okadaphobia"

i feel you.

Mardi Gras:
I entered this okada one time like that,
I was seriously pressed (i needed to shitt )

I paid before i boarded the okada, in order to save time when i disembarked
Omo for road i come mess (fart). I thought the smell will dissipate since air dey blow, but i was DEAD WRONG!
The smell just the follow us they go, needless to say it was terrible.
I held my breath hoping the guy no go smell am, but i didnt have a prayer
before i know okada man don dey shout "O boy wetin, wetin, wetin!!", come dey swerve left and right
Omo the guy stop o, climb down start to halla, dey mix yoruba and english. Other okada men (obviously his friends) come around, the guy just they yarn opata like say i kill person. Omo see embarassment
I just jump down, since my house no far. . .take off before i poo for road

I see the idiottt one other day, the guy dey wave me. . .FOOOOL!

When you think you have seen it all, someone comes around and tops it.
NL never ceases to amaze with posts like this.
