PoliticsRe: Fg Ponders National Guard by mensdept: 4:14am On Oct 31, 2010
Ikengawo:
[center]WHY WE NEED NATIONAL GUARD[/center]


To understand this we must understand what a nation is. A Nation is a modern construct used to ensure the security on a select group of people united by various reasons cause can include but are not exclusive to, ethnicity, language, religion, geographic relation/commonality, race ect.

In the formation of nations, the select group of people surrender their individual autonomy to a 'government' so that that government can ensure them security from the rule of nature.

Therefore, the primary object of this government is to provide SECURITY from the elements of the world, other nations, and internal disorder and lawlessness of the populace ( a shield against anarchy).



NOW. To provide SECURITY, successful modern governments have taken on policies outside of building a military.
example: They build roads to ensure the military can deploy its self from one point to another quickly in case of attack or need, and to bolster unity of a people in the Nation through increased trade and connect

ex- The Autobahn, completed by nazi germany FOR THE PURPOSE of faster military deployment.
The US interstate system completed by the US government FOR THE PURPOSE of faster military deployment.



In total, all the 'services' the government provides a people, though the common observe may not see it, are for the purposes of security

education- an educated populace is less likely to be disorderly, more likely to build advanced weaponry, and more skilled in war
health- most innovations in health are done by the military in leading countries like the US.
transport- you saw the example
commerce-more wealth, more power






NOW. the government, whose sole purpose is to protect and serve understands how dog-eat-dog the outside world is.
the 1 thing i can't stand about africans and their understanding of politics is they don't understand that

OTHER NATIONS ARE TRYING TO KILL YOU.

they understand power politics, and we don't, and they're playing them and we're not.




believe it or not the french ACTIVELY work for the destruction of weaking of nigeria
why

1. if france loses west africa it loses its only tangible grip on the world outside of europe that isn't overshadowed by the US and England.
2. A strong nigeria will dominate west africa
3. Where nigeria gains, france loses.
4. France has supported biafra, been against ecowas, and has pitted francophone nations like Ivory Coast and Gabon against nigeria in nearly all foriegn policy theaters that see nigeria in a dominate role.






the west and ethiopia need a weak somalia for exploitation and nuclear waste dumping.
the west needs a weak congo for exploitation
the west needs a weak naira for cheaper oil
the west needs a corrupt nigeria for cheaper oil and contracts






countries benefit for the downfall of other ones and we as the giant of africa need to understand this.










Now, with a world pitted against you, as all nations have, there' is NO reason in the world NOT to have a national guard.
to further understand, i'll explain the modern military to you.
What is all this nonsense writing. You talk as if you are dealing with a serious nation. DO you really know what a "National Guard" does and when it was established in countries like the U.S.?

BTW, dont tell me FRANCE is responsible for producing Orji Kalu, Ibori, Abacha, etc. We are not talking about 1968 here, before you start saying Tanzania wants a divided Naija to sell its music across Africa

Why all the fuss about Ohaneze? What have they done all these years on the national and regional improvement for those they claim to speak for? Even Hezbollah have done more self improvement and developmental projects for their people.

Press statements from Ohaneze Chairman, then Ohaneze Chairman Lagos Chapter, then one so-called Ohaneze Chieftain, then Ohaneze Deputy Publicity Secretary says, over and over and over again, and really, they arent saying much other than stories filling up the back pages of Naija newspapers.

Already they are talking about 2015 when we still havent put together a comprehensive election scheme for 2011. I mean, whats going on with Ndigbo people?

See how many African countries dey for that list. Na wah

Then again, Pakistan and Kenya are doing better than Niger, so that list is questionable.

chakula:
This is a very sensitive subject among Nigerians. Majority of Nigerians would through anger and frustration conclude Nigeria is a failed state. However there is a fine line between a failed Country and failed leadership.In my humble opinion Nigeria as a Nation is not a failed State for numerous reasons, rather our Leaders as far back as i can remember have failed in their obligation to move this GREAT Country forward economically, socially in order to take its rightful place in Africa and the World.
You make a good argument here, but do you consider the populace and non government holding citizens part of the problem. Leaders are choppin money because the general populace isnt serious enough to do anything about it. How many Hausa folks are going to seriously overthrow their feudal rulers in Kano, Sokoto, Zamfara, etc. In Ogun state, robbers are dealing with banks without fear, and you wonder what Ogun folks are doing? Across in Abia, kidnappers are heavyweights, yet the people are planning for the upcoming New Yam festival. In Bayelsa, "terrorist" are showing western journalist that they can use speed boats very well, but to seriously take action-no, except to claim and deny bomb blast in modern cities.

Is the coach thinking Kaita is David Beckham, and hoping for Kaita to captain the team at the next World Cup?

CultureRe: Why Do Africans Have Foreign Names? by mensdept: 12:31am On Oct 26, 2010
Well I understand what the poster is saying, but its not just Africans that are doing this. Latinos and Asians are bearing Christian names and all.

In Naija, most people who have a Christian name still have a native name and are still African. You cant say that for the Northern part of the country that despite how black they are, see themselves as if they are ARAB, when the Arabs see them as inferior olodos.

Going to Europe, you'll find Isabella, Elizabeth, Eliza, Mary, Maria, Peter, Pablo, etc., which actually are biblical/Hebraic  names that were given to Christians (i.e. King John, Queen Mary) etc.

TV/MoviesRe: Nollywood Need To Study filmmaking and production by mensdept: 12:17am On Oct 26, 2010
I watched a Naija movie yesterday that prop was shot/originally produced in 2001, featuring many old time actors (End Time). From the location to acting, to wardrobe, you can see that Nigeria (as usual) has had the potential to go far. Yet after that movie, I watched two other films (Ghanain and Naija) made prob earlier this year, and yes, crappy.

In 10 years we have gone backwards in film quality, acting, and can only do drama movies. Ghana on the other hand with the 10 or so actors they have are producing and acting a bit better, but the vulgar language and copy copy of American slang is silly.

Everything is not about tryin to make money at the expense of the larger picture.

Well we obviously dont need a monster by the name of Edwin Clark to tell us what we already know. In fact he prob was reading Nairaland comments on that Ciroma Says thread.

If I were to give him an inch of credit, it would be that he at least is standing up to not just a political lightweight, but a bigtime Northern politician. This is at least a good change because it is those same Northerners that made him and who he has over the years been happily married to at the expense of his Southern brethren.

PoliticsRe: Fg Approves N10.3bn For Enugu Airport: Complete Waste Of Funds. by mensdept: 11:59pm On Oct 21, 2010
LouisThoru:
This country has mis placed priorities. Why will a whole sum of 10.3bn Naira be spent on one airport while millions are dieing of hunger daily? How many poor people will benefit from this airport? Is it not common sense that the money could have been used in buying loads of luxurious buses for the people to travel in rather than spend it on one single airport?

In fact, this country is going to close down soon as we dont need airports in the east or anywhere, we need food on the table of many people, and we need employment.

Eastern people like to eat money, just watch how the airport will dis appear when they would have sold it bit by bit, first the gate, then the tarmac, the control tower and then 10.3bn Naira will all go in smoke just like that.

We dont need helicopters, we dont need airports, we dont need presidential fleet, we dont need roads, we dont need anything but food.
Sir Louis, I see you were so confident in your post on the other Enugu thread that you, of course, started your own with the same quote. You see, there's something called development, and when you have an opportunity to develop you take it. You say luxurious buses could have been bought so that only luxurious folks can take them to London and Dallas abi?

So, as I was saying before the thread was invaded by vandals, if Enugu state government embarks on a comprehensive plan to cash in on this airport, the only airport in Nigeria that may come close is Lagos. It all depends on what Enugu state government does. If they don't know what to do, they should hire SOLUDO.

But first, this airport! cool cool
I dont agree with hiring Soludo, but I do agree with a comprehensive plan to cash in on the airport. Do you guys know how much money the region can render from the airport, and how competition from carriers would benefit not just those going to the East, but Naija at large.

Date of operation has now been set for December this year. There are a lot of changes going on since GEJ has entered office despite his blunders. There will be less crowding of the Lagos airport and also that revenue revenue of the airport will now be heading to Enugu. The state will be more self-sufficient. Also, Bayelsa is the first state on the road of true federalism;other state are now agitating for what bayelsa has been granted. This is big change indeed.
My dear let me first commend you for this gist.

However except for the opening in December, havnt we heard and reheard this Airport news over and over with no REAL end result? All they could tell us was in December there will be flights or is it "Operation".
