Strangely,I haven't learnt anything on this thread.......

What where the evidences resented,cause I heard its a two count charge....what are the existing laws as it concerns terrorism. What are the existing laws and what are our law makers doing to update the laws we have.....I find it nauseating when there is an issue and the next name we hear or see is GEJ. What we should understand is that Nigeria is like a team....u have the attackers,midfielders ,the goal keepers and the defenders....GEJ cannot be the executive,judiciary,and legislative arm @ the same time........if the legislature doesn't produce laws,what do u expect the judiciary to prosecute with? And if the judiciary is presented with an ill presented case do you expect the judge to perform magic.?? The same thing when keyamo and the EFCC wanted to prosecute a corrupt individual they weren't prepared and their case was thrown out.....please let's direct our anger to who it should be directed to.....

A caricatured picture of Jonathan kneeling down in Church complete with mocking text is circulated in social media by no other person than a prominent opposition figure. The joke if any was gleefully shared and retwitted among mainly northern Muslims who delighted at El Rufai's vulgar and distasteful attempt at making a joke. The backlash to this were not as the case would have been if it were a Muslim President praying in a mosque but was limited to verbal condemnation only.
https://i.cdnnaij.com/o/cV8OJJIPTYvTPU5puwK2D2LN.jpg
Now the issue at hand is that we have had more Muslim presidents and who were exclusively from the north being pictured or televised worshiping in the mosque but no single critism from Christians was ever heard.

Another disturbing fact is how so many northerners and prominent opposition figures view Jonathan's church going as being sectarian in nature even though past Muslim leaders were free to worship openly for some reason a Christian President kneeling down worshiping in church is seen as sectarian. Even though this administration has not introduced any discriminatory policy or sidelined the Muslim community they still accuse him of being sectarian because he openly practiced his religion freely as enshrined in the constitution.

Speaking of constitutions, Nigeria is the only Nation that operates two sets of laws; the constitution of the Federal Republlc and that of the Islamic legal code, Sharia. If this is not sectarian then I don't know what to call it.

The northern leaders did not consider other minority religions when they enacted Sharia law and the fallout riots that engulfed their region.. Even Boko Haram are fighting to forcefully impose Sharia law over the polity but to them this is not the issue but the fact that President Jonathan knelt down to worship in Church is unbecoming.

Jonathan is also accused of being to open with his religion by going on pilgrimage to Israel. The same thing every single Muslim ex president and Governor, and former government officials like El Rufai are guilty of complete with full government subsidy.

But by far the most annoying thing about Jonathn's govt is that this is the first head of state to have any direct dealing with Isreal.
To the north Isreal is an enemy. Why? Because their Arab lords are currently at war with Isreal. Jonathan's friendship with Isreal is causing a diplomatic row between Nigeria and Arab countries like Saudi Arabi who traditionally relied on our support on the Palestinian cause than with that of the zionists.

According to the Muslim north, a relationship to Isreal is an embarrassment to them as Muslims. Consider this for a second. Saudi Arabia that they desperately want to keep as our friends will not admitt half of our population into their country based on the fact that they are not Muslims. This same Saudi has nothing to offer us or the rest of the world other than oil which we have as well but a nation like Isreal with the highest noble peace prize in all disciplines is to be considered an enemy.

The fact remains that the north for all her accusations on Jonathan being sectarian reminds me of the proverb of picking specks from another man's eyes when one has a log firmly wedged in his.

Hypocrites.

I will find you anywhere just to get ur autograph.....u made a lot of sense

9jaforlife:
First of all, before any bigot reigns abuses, let me be clear that I am not against changing the Arabic inscriptions on our notes, since it's not our adopted language. It was put there for a purpose and this purpose has been served.

However, those of you insulting Muslims should be informed that the Arabic inscriptions have NOTHING to do with Islam. Quoting Dr Nowa Omouigui, "the original reason for Arabic Inscriptions was that Frederick Lugard (who among other decorations, was the first Commander of the West African Frontier Force between 1897-99) identified Arabic as the only written indigenous language anywhere in Nigeria/West Africa, particularly among the widely spread Hausa traders across the region (see Lugard report to Parliament, 1919). Arabic inscriptions were, therefore, used as symbols, not only for currency but even on official West African Frontier Force badges, etc. This persists until today in Nigerian Army badges".

Lugard's reason for the Arabic was simple; so that this large sect of people (Hausas) who could not read English language, and who used the currency as an instrument of trade could know the notes they were using, since naira was newly introduced. The Arabic you see on the notes do not represent Islamic principles, but simply mean the value of the currency in Hausa language. For example, the transcription of the inscription on the two hundred naira note is "naira dari biyu", meaning "two hundred naira". This is exactly what is inscribed in English language, nothing more.

Somebody also mentioned here that Nigeria adopted Islamic architectural designs for our national buildings, referring to the Dome of the National Assembly. This only shows the depth of ignorance of some nairalanders. Even though domes are considered an achievement of the Islamic Empires, it has been widely adopted in many developed countries of the world for centuries (see the list below).


Dome Of The Rock, Jerusalem, Israel

Saint Basil’s Cathedral, Moscow, Russia

Florence Cathedral (Santa Maria del Fiore), Florence, Italy

United States Capitol, Washington DC, and

Taj Mahal, Agra, India, which is considered one of the 7 wonders of the world

I wonder why these countries have not been converted to Islam because if their choice of architecture. Only in Nigeria will you see educated youths fighting baseless fights and ignoring issues of priority. God help us!

stop being economical with the truth my friend.....the dome of the rock is the al qasa mosque which is the third holiest site in islam......and a major dispute between the jews and the arab muslims......the dome in russia is another religious building.....while the capitol is just one building with that architectural design of which has national importance......you and I know that the "dome" in abuja relates to religious beliefs in islam.....and they are of arabian or middle eastern architecture....if you where being straight forward,u would know that it has islam written all over it.....the same way we were inscribed in OIC is the same way our naira notes were written with arabic inscriptions.....we don't need any structure that depicts any religion......and am afraid that's what the muslims have been up to.....very soon,people would say Boko haram are not muslims.....please don't pass messages like this because you feel that ur readers aren't informed....and how can you say arabic inscriptions have nothing to do with islam? If u remove arabic,how do you read your Koran?

So we should head to your blog? Nice try dude.....put the information here..the link should be your source....

I guess it was a good match.....I missed it...I even tot the match was on saturday......well,after the media guy for Dolphin was saying that they have beaten enyimba fc before and they wud do it again.....am surprised that he lost....by the way,these two strikers I think are the best we have in the league...I pray they are called up.......thank God sia sia is back....I love that guy...good football all the way....GB Nigeria

APC won't go to court if PDP rigs the 2015 presidential elections - Gov Amaechi

He said, “What is the essence of going to court when the federal government don’t obey the law. That’s why the APC say we won’t go to the court any longer. If you rig us out, we would rig ourselves in. Which means if you think you can rig us out in 2015, we will form our own government. We have met on that and we have agreed on that. We will install our own government and there would be two governments. The only way to avoid a parallel government is to have a free and fair election. You can’t continue to use the police as if it is private agency or company of the government.”

I love Amaechi style

how can a responsible gov'nor make this kind of comment??

The black man isn't smart.....these white people are knocking our heads together and we are playing along to their script.....the igbos showed something that was a reality check to the world that the black man is not a savage and brain dead like the whites would depict us.......they where technological advances within a 30 month period......it only showed that we have the potentials to be great which startled them.......but instead of building on the progresses made during the war even if it was bloody and brought distrust between the igbos and nigeria,the current leaders went back to the same mistake that led to the civil war.....awolowo was a bright fellow.....and he knew what he wanted to achieve for Nigeria....but the Northern elites thought differently.they wanted power and nothing else.....not for development or progress but to subdue the south and the middle belt minorities....we all have something to offer....whether human or natural resources.....but it could be achieved iif we drop this "my tribe is better than urs" it won't take us anywhere.....I used to think that the northerners where bunch of uneducated peeps until I started mingling with them northerners like jos boys,kaduna guys.....and you would be amazed @ how exposed and brilliant they are......religion,tribalism,corruption are the monsters destroying this country.....if we don't kill them,the log would still be in our eyes.....

walemoney007:
well call me anytin u lik kid,av been to opobo and bonny before,dey dont see dia sef as igbo,dey are proudly ijaw.i fink d chief of army staff is from opobo or bonny sef..u can tell us what is name mean in igbo language.

obviously you are a yoruba boy.....u don't speak a word of igbo.....if you are brought before an ikwerri man and an owerri man or a bayelsa man,u wouldn't have the slightest idea who is from where......but you actually feel that you an authority in classic igbo history.......because they told you means you have gotten all the facts and all u need to know about igbo culture and its people.......dude its better you relax and learn......

StBlack1:
Who are these blockheads involving OPC in a purely political issue like this? .....If I may ask, where were MASSOB/Ijaw boys/Arewa militants on June 12 when OPC was having a feild day in Lagos state (and even in all SW states)? Where were those cantankerous generations of cowards whose leader could do nothing but flee in the face of fierce battle in 1966? Where was the Nigerian army?

If you have nothing sensible to say, then press the mute button.....rather than keep acting like flattheads running on flat batteries. !!

are u an OPC member?

Soldiers don't forget neither do they forgive.....he is going to get his pound of flesh sooner or later.....

majekdom2:
do I need to tell you who to vote, there are loads of other candidates and parties aside Jonathan and pdp

what am saying is if we desperately need a change,then we must have someone who is credible in mind..........as far as am concerned unless there is someone who isn't sectional,religious and a tribal,I would still pitch my tent with GEJ......tell me why I would waste my vote for an extremely coRrupt person like atiku? Or a tribal man like buhari? We are a population of 160million....I think we can do better than that....

Redhot111:
OBJ is is my man any day any time. He says it d way it is without polishing it; without d use of euphemism; he says it in its crude form. That is y wen eva he speaks, the person at d receiving end trembles.

Lol....that's why he was jailed and almost killed by abacha.....he talks too much...

majekdom2:
They ave both failed, GEJ was hand picked by OBJ. A failure can never hand pick a successful man because likes attract likes. We need a change .PDP has tried , its always good to try something different. Only a fool keeps doing something the same way overtime with no results.

so tell us what the change is?

Brymo is a guy I love very much....because he sings very good songs........but I think he shouldn't delve into issues like this.....its better to be a bystander than to attract negative comments and views to him self.......what he should be doing is make comments that would increase is value than to create unnecessary enemies....its not worth it.......it puts him in a bad light

cyriltochi:
All i av 2 say is dont pray 4 war.... i look at ur comments i shake my head n i smile..
plz how does jona's impeachment relates 2 d igbo's?..
una neva pass 10 years?..

don't mind them......the only people who pray for war are the people that haven't experienced it.......let them keep talking and feeling like rambo.....when it would start,the blood of the baboon and monkey would flow.....Lolz

OneNaira6:
Lmfaooo you're even being nice. The so called "sophisticated" people are the only set of nigeria which 2014 "cities" excluding lagos resemble something stuck in the mid 1800. The only set of Nigerians that sh1t in nylon bags in public places. If they don't have nylon bags, they do it in gutters. Such prominent behavior that even a Lebanese made a comment about it regarding them. The only set of people that rape their own children. The only set of African people where being "baby mamas" is acceptable. The only set of Africans that do juju as if it's in their genes or something. The term backwards, primitive, etc is even an understatement for this people.

I don tire for all these tribal guys.....everyday my tribe is superior than urs......

PenSniper:
See the result of the training handed down to you by your hairy ancestors -

being abusive doesn't make u hard my guy......it shows how ur level of reasoning is.....because you don't have the intellectual capacity to engage in an argument doesn't mean others have a low I.q like u.....try and learn

oduaboy1:
Go and reread the op's post and see the way he was downplaying the billionaires from other ethnic group,making it sound as if they didn't work for their money.In his myopic mind na only ibo man sweat for his money.The others were given on a platter of gold,....rubbish

and that's the reason why a whole tribe has to be insulted because he down played other tribes? Then u give him reasons why he is wrong.....must we end up with abuses and curses?

Accidental discharge......would die like a chicken....his supporters would shout,police would throw tear gas canisters,people would shout on TVC and Channels....and after a week,life goes on....

KHAYGOLD:
Igbo people and empty boast!! Group of stinking and selfish bigot. Without you and the hausa people, Nigeria would have been a Kingdom.

I knew one goat would mention igbos......what has ur fight with the South south got to do with us? Let me tell u how it would play out......impeach GEJ.....the hausas and yorubas rejoice....the Niger delta militant blow up ALL the oil well and anything related to oil.....SW and North excluding the middle belt move their tanks for battle....SS negotiate with a super power....weapons are supplied....federal troops negotiate with another super power....and the battle line is drawn...igbos wat©h like vultures.....battle would be in Lagos ,abuja and the SS......bombs here and there......igbos protect their territory....when you idiots are done killing ur selves,the igbos would live in peace happily ever after....probably giving the south westerners 20 biafran pounds in exchange for landed properties in their land...because there would be kwashikor......lol....no food to eat.....lolz....the after destroying both sides,the east emerge as the super power......then the SW and SS would end up like the North......Desolate....then we do what we know how to do best,business......after all....fight don dey hungry una since....its the turn of the igbos to siddon look.....Lols...nice movie

These people are playing politics with the lives of people.....so if they refuse an extension for the emergency rule,what is the alternative to it? If they don't want it,they should tell us what they want in place.....I hate it when these politicians start playing their crude politics with the lives of Nigerians....

REALLY? THEN WHAT STOP THE EBO FROM TROOPING TO ANAMBRA (DUBAI OF AFRICA )? WHY LAGOS=SOUTH WEST THEY ALL RUSH DOWN TO SURVIVE? PORTHARCOURT IS THERE TO SURVIVE......

I DON'T SEE WHAT WILL MAKE LAGOS CITIZENS TO LEAVE LAGOS AND HUSTLE IN ANOTHER STATE APART FROM GOVERNMENT APPOINTMENT

mr man....I don't need to tell u that igbos have large populations in the key states of the federation....kano,abuja,lagos and PH....lagos indigenes are not traders.....u don't expert them to be trading in government positions hence the need to travel to other states doesn't arise....the people of enugu and imo state are predominantly civil servants....that's why most of the traders are from anambra state.....the hausas deal on live stock and agricultural produce hence their movement from one state to another....they have a need to fulfil and offer.....they sell meat,tomatoes and so on....the igbos do business.....when they see a need they fill it up.....I don't see why u should be full of ur self because there are many igbos in lagos.....the igbos in kano are almost the size of the population lagos and abuja...so what's ur point...u need to travel outside the south west for you to be more exposed....I guess gowon created the NYSC because of people like u

If you were not a buffoon, would you say a man who lost a state election holds the region to ransom ?

Biafrans are killed in The North because of Their empty chest beating. For example this, because forbes magazine mentioned Biafrans in their list, u start Hearing insults about other tribes??sentimental Igbos. What happens wHen u become president?that whyBiafrans Can NEVER taste The presidency. Ha ve u ever Witnessed rich igbo men in a restaurant?all u hear is just empty noise all over d Place. Very crass and unurbane.

for more than 40 years,the igbos never produced the number one man.....and they survived all the hatred and attacks by people like you......but we are still here...progressing.....and I don't think the presidency was a contributing factor to our succeSs......so do the needful

PenSniper:
They will celebrate until they fall into boiling water. They are such bunch of primitive and archaic tribe that their attitudes do amaze me.

and u are so sophisticated that one man can hold the whole of south west to ransom? A friend was gisting me today on the evil deed attributed to ur god Tinubu and fashola.....it was really despicable.....and u call ur self sophisticated? U are worse than the dude in gods must be crazy.....

WHY WILL EBO CREATE SOMETHING FROM NOTHING? IS LAGOS YOUR PAPA LAND?

YORUBA DOESN'T OVERSTEP THEIR BOUNDARY. SOUTH WEST REGION IS FRUITFUL ENOUGH FOR SWESTERNERS TO SURVIVE.....

fruitful?? Am sure u haven't stepped out of the SW before....for you to even open ur mouth to make that comment.....go to anambra state as a case study and see millionaires who made their fortune in Nnewi and onitsha without even stepping out of the east..there are many igbos who prefer to stay @ home like enugu peeps,owerri,aba..etc....please stop insinuating.....igbos are virtually everywhere....

oduaboy1:
Idiot,must you Igbos drag yorubas into your stupidity.Fine,forbes just included your brothers into their billionaires list,oya go out in the street,carry drums and dance,as if their inclusion affects your life in any way.Adenuga and co have been on the list since God knows when,does it affect an average yoruba man in anyway?If no.Then why are u loudmouthed ibbos distubing us with your trademark chestbeating

The idiotic op just had to massage the iboss non-existent ego.

nobody dragged you into anything.....the post was about an igbo man who entered the forbes list which wasn't a way to ridicule any tribe and all of a sudden tribalist came out from no where......I get confused when there is a post about igbos and the only people who come out to cause trouble are ur people......I haven't seen a ss man attack even the northerner......why must it be you guys?

Tokunbohkinibig:
Ojukwu said more than this and was later dealt with; chest-beating fool. You don't even know who the op is and you are threatening him as if your body was made of steel.......

yeah...ojukwu said the same thing and was dealt with by the remaining 200 and something ethnic group plus britain,russia and america......but you are just one person......guess you can't really do much

smallJagaban:
IF THIS IS SO, THEN WHY DID YOUR PEOPLE FILLED SUIT AGAINST FASHOLA?

WHEN WILL ALL THE FLAT HEADS GO BACK TO THEIR LANDLOCKED REGION?

can u tell us what your definition of landlocked is please....

azzima:
abi o. Until we start killing and lynching them , they won't listen. You keep telling your host that you are landlord, it will be Rwanda all over again. This is the major reasons igbos are killed everywhere in the north. They cannot keep their fat mouth shut. REMEMBER that the killing fields will be opened one day. A 5 years old knows that u cannot taunt your host anywhere in the world but these ungrateful foreigners called biafrans cannot learn from history

u guys keep on talking about killing like as if its that easy.....I laugh and keep silent when you mention people being killed.....do not pray for some thing like this.....we all know the beGging of crises and war but we don't know the end.......u might be one of the casualties....

oduaboy1:
LMAO.

Have never seen people so riddened with insecurity and low self esteem like our flatheaded brothers east of the Niger.

Must you guys look for every avenue to compare and proclaim your non-existent superiority over other tribes from Nigeria.Just do your thing and let others do theirs

but when alakija and adenuga was mentioned,ur Brown Zinc brain saw nothing wrong with ur peeps rejoicing.....guess that's high self esteem.....
