crackhaus:Am quoting u to let u know that I have seen your response and by your choice of words I will not join any issue with u as far as u choose those unruly words. I have never and will not bring myself on nairaland to indulge in profanity over civil culture. that u choose to use those harsh words is solely your choice I am unaffected. |
crackhaus:then u are not a gentleman because gentlemanliness is an innate quality that one develop whether somebody is looking at u or not. eg a gentleman cannot divulge privileged information about another man's family or discuss it without the man's authorization. another example a gentleman can never drink milk from the milk tin even if he is alone, he empties it into a cup or a drinking glass. |
bronzegoddess:my dear I have met and is still meeting some perfect gentlemen in my association. However, I will not fail to mention that they are more in the older generation than in our own generation, I have more elderly friends though. Another side of it is that if u carry nobility within you u can't help but attract noble characters as the saying goes likes attract unlike repel. Try this experiment: if u long to treat people more courtesy and treat people in as noble a manner to the best of your ability you will not fail to meet true gentleman. |
mylifemyrules:I still agree with u just that there are some things that only maturity arising from experiencing can teach every human being, and only what a human being have experienced can he actually call his own. When he experience life over the years he will come to terms with this his thread here. I believe if the poster is on a true path to inward maturity soon enough he will regret this thread. |
mylifemyrules:You are absolutely right, unfortunately not many will see it in that light. From his post I understand the poster is still a student that was why I overlooked to call him to caution. give him 4 years from now he may not bring himself to put up this kinda post no matter how hilarious. the concept of moral murder doesn't mean a thing to some people though no man can evade the consequence |
This is not a drill, morale over high... am astonished. What is this, I mean I know say d average Igbo man can do anything once he's determined but I never imagined anything close to this. Chei nna come and see excess liver. If Nigeria fail to address this problem amicably by releasing that KANU then Nigeria leadership must be very very naive. This is the kind of spirit that Ojukwu's driver during the war that I was privileged to meet years back told me as a story that Biafrans were wielding during the earlier part of the war when even women were singing "ojukwu nye anyi mma na egbe ka anyi gbagbuo Gowon chelu ndi awusa" that is exactly the same thing I am seeing on that video. Do u want to tell me that if u SRM this crowd that Police and Army no go run? Nigeria should tread carefully o and release this guy. |
This is bomb, two elder state men dancing Atilogu dance in the middle of the market. since I don't know the crux of the case I decline comment. Wolé Soyinka suppose be in his meditative age by now naa...anyway wetin concern vulture and barber shop |
Hon Chibuike Amechi was described as GOC I.e General officer Commanding during the ministerial sworing in today by the commentators. The GOC may refer to his former office as GMB presidential campaign organization coordinator or to his ability to weather the stormy ministerial screening by the senate especially the hurdle by PDP senators. A title am sure the top guns in the military and retired military personnels especially General officers and other red necks will find derogatory to be used on a "bloody civilian" like Amechi as the military use to refer to non initiates of their profession, politics no politics. Political conservatives may finnd it rather overrating to call him a GOC though his fans will rather be happy that he is receiving another unofficial title added to his former "The lion" isn't this rather too much praise on a public servant that is suppose to be more of level headed. What is your take on this nairalanders |

I hope lie Mohammed will keep his mouth shut now and work, if they make mistake of giving him minister of information he will talk this new cabinet into trouble... #commentary not criticism though |
The kebbi state minister is the youngest member of the cabinet. |

thundafire:As it stands they seem not to have been assigned any portfolio yet...their swore goes like " I....(their name) as a minister of the federal republic do humbly abi solemnly swore..." no portfolios. I think we are going to be in more suspense for their portfolios on the coming days |
Two set of oats here, oat of allegiance and oat of office, how we like to duplicate things in Nigeria, where there is a conflict between the two oats they take I wonder the one that will take precedence; the oat of allegiance to the president or oat of office which is oat towards the constitution of federal Republic of Nigeria. I see all these as intellectual trifling |
They are being sworn in in four batches that is they will be nine sets altogether. Udom, Ngige among the first four, the next four being called up Adamu adamu, Audu Ogbe among the next set being called up...the atmosphere is calm there and organized too...this is happening live now 10.20am at NTA international... |
xage:My brother, I wish u more wisdom. I take exception to my principle of declining comment when the matter is about secession of the Easterners from the rest of the country. If the Igbos are comfortable in Nigeria will they want to leave Nigeria? On the average who is even happy in this country called Nigeria? See the level of hatred between the three major tribes here on nairaland. The so called elites keep quiet over this IPOB issue because of their selfish interest. Before the coming of the colonialists with this secular state structure doesn't the Oyo empire exist side by side with the other empires, kingdoms and clans, was there this kind of hatred then? the answer is NO. I wonder why we cannot just relegate into a weaker center to enable the federating units harness themselves better in their area of comparative advantage. What is all these hate and suspicion. Better let each people go their own way if it is what will make them happier and more fulfilled as human being. left alone if Nigeria can break up into 36 countries I don't care once it will make the people happier and more at peace. The idea of the modern state is built on a wrong foundation same as this idea of western democracy. They are all as foreign as they sound. Our indigenous methods of governance & conflict resolution is superior. Let the people be happy again please. Give them their Biafra only this time not through War anymore and if Yoruba like let them also take their own independent state. why the forced Union. |
ShakurM:Do u know that every human being is spiritually responsible for his words, thoughts and action. Don't go and chain yourself into heavy responsibility that you can't extricate yourself from easily. we should be more careful with words pls for our own good. u can still male your points without burdening your spirit with guilt. just feel like I should tell u, if I am encroaching am sorry altogether. |
Richiez:Don't mind the mediocres we call our political class. instead of addressing a problem when it is still early they will be there yabbing themselves. the war in 1967 started as Police action, the rest of the story we know. We are so unfortunate in Nigeria that the worst set of people emerge as our political leaders but in that too there is the working of the perfection of the creative will of the Almighty |
PDPwayoo:My friend I don't think you have visited Aguleri before. Honestly speaking there are more duplex in AGULERI than there are in Ajao estate Lagos. yet AGULERI is suppose to be a village, that town have express roads down to the Omambala River. Not minding their devastating tribal war AGULERI is well developed even before Obiano the present Governor of Anambra state who happen to be from Aguleri won the election. A beg o no go near that town. so get your facts right |
adjoviomole:I am an Igbo I think you are a very noble character. don't allow anybody to drag u into any ethnic sentimental statements on NL keep up your good self. |
people around Onitsha and environs especially upper Iweka up to Niger bridge should send in pictures pls let's see. people I called in Asaba said that Police and soldiers are monitoring the peaceful protest in Asaba...I will send in more info as they come in |
Heavy peaceful demonstration ongoing in Onitsha. information is still sketchy but my Uncle that just called me said that there are more than 1 million people around the Niger bridge up to upper Iweka axis of the town singing "Nzogbu Enyimba Enyi". this news is still developing. |
@OP Grail Message is not based on religious mysticism as u said. U may do well to correct that impression in your own words to close that circle u have opened for yourself (if you understand what I mean). The Grail Movement and The Grail Message are purely two different things. Grail Movement in Nigeria is an organization of people that have read the Grail message and strive to live by the truth as contained in the book. Such people come together to tell other human beings of the work called the GRAIL MESSAGE authored by Abd Ru Shin through Public lectures, Book exhibitions, radio and TV programs amongst other avenues. Through the same organization the sealing is also performed on adherents of the Grail Message who request for it by one called for the purpose, also such adherents who request are permitted to wear the Grail cross(Grail cross and sealing are not the same). If you have examined the book and not just flipping through it you will not miss the fact that Grail Message rejects Mysticism. In its introductory Message "For your Guidance" the author also spelt out that he brought no new religion or sect. That there is an organized body called Grail Movement or Grail Message Foundation as they are called in the USA doesn't make it a religion please. There are also many adherent of the Grail Message who don't even make any contact with the Movement. having read through your response and answers to people I have no doubt that you know what makes an organization a religious body. I am sure you are on a the part to the maturity of your spirit and I have no doubt that if you remain in Ernest that the mercies and grace of the creator of all the worlds will lead you to the one true path to the luminous gardens of the matured human spirit. Wishing you love and strength. |
manifoldcrafty:I don't believe you, which service? |
Zamo09:My brother it is well. I just want to leave it at that but believe me that too will pass and u will be in your rightful place |
Missy89:well u have the right to your own opinion but saying that Russia can't compete with USAF is a fallacy and u know it. if we are to go by military hardwares Russians are better, since we the two sides have not been on a face on collision in a major war we can't judge for sure the morale of their fighting forces but as far as hardware is concern US will keep wondering. |
Mcbussy:a different matter altogether. Am sure many US jet fighter pilots know where Russia is better than US but that doesn't mean they will fight on Russia side. Even me I rather live in US than Russia but that will not make me in any way to see an objective truth and shove it aside. |
Missy89:pls sir I want you to compare by yourself the capabilities of the much talked US F35 with Russia su35. Its hard to admit but Russia war equipments are better and will beat US equipment both in comparative terms and in practice. place US best five stealth/ jet fighters and Russias' best five let's compare them here and now. The MiG-29 against the F16/F18, the SU35 against the F35, the “Sukhoi’s PAK FA against the f22, Tupolev Tu-160 strategic bombers against US B1-B Lancer bombers, even US know that the Russian guys are good. the fact is that we go through school being fed a lot of wonderful stuffs about the west with little or no truth about the east. however a honest objective analysis always show the west weaker than we can ever imagine. meanwhile I am waiting for the comparison of the above equipments by u |
Mcbussy:take a look at this comparative analysis of US and Russia fighters. Sukhoi Su-27 The first on the list is Sukhoi Su-27 (NATO reporting name “Flanker”), an exceptionally maneuverable machine, one of the most agile aircraft ever built. It is an extremely nimble jet, which can be controlled even at very low speeds and high angles of attack. A Cobra (Pugachev’s Cobra) – briefly sustained level flight at a 120° angle of attack – is a dramatic and very demanding maneuver usually demonstrated by Su-27 during airshows. © SPUTNIK/ VALERIY MELNIKOV The Su-27 fighters of the Russian Air Force's Russian Falcons aerobatic team at the MAKS-2011 International Aviation and Space Show. It was the Soviet’s answer to then- new American aircraft like the F-15 and F-16, and, according to some internet website, was superior in many respects. Even The National Interest admits, it jumped ahead of the F-16 and F/A-18 in terms of speed, hitting 2,525 km/hour (compared to the F-16’s 2,200 km/ hour and the F/A-18’s 1,900 km/ hour). The website Air Power of Australia however gave advantage in firepower, speed, raw agility, range and manoeuvre performance to Su-27, while comparing it with The F/A-18E/F Super Hornet. the Su27 have been upgraded to SU 35s |
Mcbussy:yes strategic advantage but not In comparative terms to the Russian armed forces. in strike force capability Russia equipments are better than that of USA, In counter values measures if Russia strike Territorial USA and US strike RUSSIA federation US will loose more. in Both countries posses first and second strike capabilities no doubt. the fact that USA hv bases proliferated all over the world doesn't make them any better than Russia in combat its just to maintain their hegemony. in how many of these Commands can they airlift to fight Russia effectively? |
Rotimi47:Good analysis just that u contradicted yourself in your conclusion. if US have military installations around the world like u said and Russia doesn't that is a simple conclusion that USA military budget is higher than Russia. Moreover one don't even need to be an expert in military study to know that US spend more in defence than Russia the following are US commands around every continent of the world United States Africa Command USAFRICOM United States Central Command USCENTCOM United States European Command USEUCOM United States Northern Command USNORTHCOM United States Pacific Command USPACOM United States Southern Command USSOUTHCOM United States Special Operations Command USSOCOM United States Strategic Command USSTRATCOM United States Transportation Command USTRANSCOM Now that does not automatically mean that US weapons and warfare strategies will strike with more precision and has a superior strategy of war. |
