jjcbuthot: How is he tribalistic? You are the tribalistic ones who doesnt want to hear anything Hausas or north despite the hausas being more accommodating to other people than your tribe. How many ibos are in the north compared to other tribes in your region? Tell me...Which Maitatsine was killed with NO civillian casualties? Are u plain ignorant or just blinded by bigotry? Over 9000 people died due to Maitatsine crisis, bulk of which were civillians. --> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maitatsine Odi massacre cannot be compared to the BH's SoE in the 3 States. In the town of Odi, the criminal killing of 12 Policemen by a gang led to a Police/Military retaliatory massacre - "indiscriminately attacking the civilian population and the town's buildings. Every building in the town except the bank, the Anglican church and the health center was burned to the ground", resulting in the deaths of hundreds of civiliians --> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odi_massacre. It's why even Buhari's CPC believes Obj should face trial over the Odi Massacre -->http://www.punchng.com/news/obasanjo-should-face-trial-for-odi-massacre-cpc/ And why the FG was ordered to pay compensation to Odi residents -->http://premiumtimesng.com/news/121196-odi-massacre-court-orders-nigerian-government-to-pay-n37bn-damages-to-residents.html Odi issue was completely diffrent from current SoE. The military is not indiscriminately attacking civilians in the North by this SoE - contrary to continued misinformation from Buhari. One must commend the efforts of the military who are trying very hard ( even with a hostile, if not complicit populace) to minimize civillian causlaties. |
eko ilee: I don't care and it makes no difference to me, that bridge belongs to the federal government and they can do whatever they want with it.Of course tolling the 3MB would make a lot of difference to Lagosians just as tolling the Lekki Epe road is affecting the area. But because Fashola's govt is god to you, you opt to see no wrong is their commercializing basic amenities. |
bigrovar: Robb was a fool, he is not worthy of being a lord talkless of a king.. he is selfish & immature... Catalyn Stark for all her fault give him good counsel but he was carried away by youth and felt too big to listen to his mother. He give his word and was duty bound to marry the Frey girl. The whole war, the north and the river land was reliant on that marriage. The Frey would guarantee him over 5000 men including mounted knights instead he throw all that away because of a woman. His father was a different Man. Ned Married Catalyn out of duty not out of love. He married her to keep the river land in support of the Robert rebellion.. He had to spun the love of lady Ashara whom he fell in love with in the tourney in Harrenhal as much as he was in love with her.. I never comprised his stand but went home to catalyn whom he was duty bound to marry.Robb followed his heart, but should probably have been more careful - not watched the episode yet, though. Ned Stark, for all his honor, lost his head so no difference in the outcome. Loved both their characters, though. |
gboss4sure: America should mind their own business and let us be, They should swear wit amadioha that they don't have a hand in Boko Haram operations. Now that they saw that the Nigerian Government is closing in on their man they need to take him out as soon as possible even if it means using those nearest to him and that's the reason they are offering the $23m.Do you have proof America is funding BH propagating Sharia over Nigeria? The facts ( by Shekau own words) show that BH is partly funded by sworn American enemies like Al Qaeda - related terrorists organisations. Long before GEJ started closing in on BH/Shekau, he was declared a terrorist by the US and the whole BH would have been declared a terrorist organisation by the US if not for intense lobbying by Nigerians stating all kinds of dubious reasons. |
Now Shekau must surround himself by very trusty people/couriers - always gonna be difficult in Naija. End of Shekau, methinks. I give him just 3 months - he'll be dead or caught by then. Great move by the US Govt. The Nigerian FG should add another $1m to good effect. This mass murderer has just become a hounded fugitive like Osama and will be untill he's captured. |
eko ilee: Emotions and sentiments wont get us to the promise land, but strategies and prudent financial investments surely will.Ok. By same vein, it's alright for the govt to toll the 3MB to get more funds in addition to the taxes. |
Marpol: This post was in May 2012 bro!Ooops. Thought I saw May 2013. Been working too hard these days - need to sleep more. Thanks bro. |
mbhs139: I think you people shouting "TAX PAYERS MONEY" are missing some points. Quiet frankly, I really don't support the tolling of any road at that matter, not only this bridge But come to think of it, let's do some academic exercise for the sake of argument, and let's talk about what is called 'sustainable development'? That is: "a development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs" (http://www.iisd.org/sd/). It also refers to a mode of human development in which resource use aims to meet human needs while ensuring the sustainability of natural systems and the environment, so that these needs can be met not only in the present, but also for generations to come (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sustainable_development).To start with the toll is N250/300. Let's flow with the notion that the Lekki folks are rich (most are actually not rich, just medium income people - U see a whole lot more Kias, Hyundais, Toyotas than Bentleys and Rolls). In any case they are already paying more to the gov't in the form of higher taxes. Those with high income pay higher % tax - and who says the higher tax they pay is not the bulk of gov't tax revenue. So the 'double taxation' in the form of toll is not necessary as the folks in Lekki are already funding development in other areas. Besides tolling affects the numerous less rich who also live in the Lekki-Epe areas. Also, those in Lekki need good roads like those in Mushin, etc. Most of the residential roads there are bad also -they don't get a disproportionate amount of good roads. It's just that any small gov't infrastructure to the area like the repair the main Lekki access to the axis or a bridge to alleviate traffic congestion must be used as reason to further fleece the people in the form of tolls. . The tolling of main expressway to the area is unwarranted. And bridges are not necessarily luxuries. The 3MB for example is not a luxury but a necessity. Perhaps the FG should toll 3MB, after all they are alternate roads. |
ilugunboy: Guess what?The New Market Road is not a viable alternative - way too narrow for the volume of traffic. The main Lekki Road has been in existence and was only being repaired. Building the new bridge and then tolling it won't be so bad if the main Lekki Road was free. I have no issues with the gov't building new 'luxury' roads/bridges and promptly tolling them, just saying the general populace roads should be adequate. If you deem the narrow bypass adequate, then good for you. Most who demonstrated and were forcefully dispersed by Policemen disagreed- same reason the 2nd toll after Chevron toll is being resisted and had to be put on hold (hopefully indefinitely). |
eko ilee: Silly question. You are assuming they know how to build bridge or do anything . The fact is, toll or no toll I don't care, just build infrastructures and make our lives better which so far the useless and worthless PDP don't know how to do.Please don't let truth get in the way of your bias. Building infrastructure has nothing to do with PDP or ACN. Akpabio in Akwa Ibom has built far more roads and bridges (not tolled, btw) than Fashola and he is PDP. They are a few other performing PDP governors as there are ACN duds too. Ideologically, there's little to choose between PDP, ACN, CPC, etc. N250/N300 is too high as toll for this road, considering the straight alternate road is also tolled at N120/150. Only the dishonest blind would reject removal of fuel subsidy and then applaud tolling of key roads without viable alternatives. |
How did this go with the Mobile Court? If they claim there's a total ban, they should provide the directive. Some dumb ban that would be! What are people supposed to do about factory tints? |
mu2sa2: At the same time, Gej must be held responsible in respect of those who were unjustly detained or in flagrant violation of the constitution. Gani Fawehinmi is no more with us to take up the case of these poor women and under-aged kids who were clamped into squalid conditions for months without being charged to court , but other peoples lawyers can take up this case . This inhuman and illegal act of deliberate violation of the constitution must not be allowed to be brushed under the carpet. Those who committed this evil act will pay for it in or out of office. If a person commits an offence he should answer for it, but not his kids,wife or sister or mother.These 'poor women and under-aged kids' are true terrorists and participated in violence against the Nigerian State. The laws should allow such terrorists to be held for quite a while (months or years) to extract information that might prevent future attacks and lead to arrests of their masters/accomplices. There were not innocent at all. Still the FG is giving them benefit of doubt - hoping the kids can be rescued from the clutches of anti-societal behaviours. The adult women should not have been released, but held, then eventually tried and jailed, imo. The FG has been quite lenient in releasing these ones to appease populace. If your stance reflects the feelings of the Northern majority, then the Northern populace don't want to be appeased - means they are in cohort with the terrorists and thus captured terrorists deserve no further leniency. Terrorists are the lowest of earth's life forms and should handled with the sternness they deserve. |
Afro connect: This is very wrong,why waste so much efforts to apprehend them to release them.these are killers,they should all be killed.Jonathan stop playing politics with our security.But Govt. did right by releasing the kids for readjustment. The women should be tried like the adults they are, though. But by releasing these low level members of BH, they hope to win the populace to the FG side of the campaign against BH. It's overall a good move, as long as the hardened ones are not released and these ones are re-educated and made to see just how dumb radical Islam is. |
jhydebaba: Lastpage! I'm not talking about only one man being poor here. If only u can know the root cause of the whole issue, then you'll agree with me that poverty has got a vital role in the whole crisis.Crap logic. Al Qaida is not populated by the poor. Mutalab was not poor. Mujahid and the other nuthead in London are not in need of N200. BH is not the result of poverty, but forceful propagation of Islam, end of. Stop trying to generate pity and legitimacy for these band of murderers. BH are nothing but murderous fools of a certain religious extraction, backed overtly and passively by a largely complicit populace seeking political power. |
maclatunji: What you fail to realise is that the United States actively undermines the political process in Arab/Muslim countries such that the people's vote hardly ever count. Hence, puppet regimes are installed that never truly represent the will of the people nor Islam. Hamas won an election in Gaza and the territory almost immediately got blockaded and its victory by election in that territory was not recognised. Why? It is not singing the tune of America and the western world.The US occasional support for groups against certain govts is not why you have radical Islam like Wahhabism, which seems to be the ideology of choice for jihadists. The US is also to blame for BH attacking and killing people in the North and ascribing victory to Allah for successful kills, right? They also caused the Matatsine riots, abi? As I said before, good for you - keep blaming the US and Britain for disgusting barbarism by Islamists like Mutallab, Mujahid, etc. Am sure that's how they began- hating and blaming the West. For your own sake, you better abandon this path now. Or you'll soon be doing ur own beheading, before being gunned down of course. There's only one loser in this hate for the West- Islam itself. |
maclatunji: Stop being deceitful, this posts proves my point:The petition you are making noise about is on how US "Congressional leaders are attempting to stop nearly $500 million dollars from being sent to Egypt. Soon there will be hearings to investigate the death of our Ambassador and other Americans in Libya. Support their efforts; sign our petition calling for the Obama Administration to stand up for America and halt the funding". This seems to be a petition from an American group trying to stop US gov't from giving money to Middle East gov't (Egypt) because the group apparently believe Arabs are terrorists and all hate America and thus can't see why the US gov't should be giving Arab countries money. This is your big solution? You obviously read the headline and didn't even bother to check what it's really about. You are just a deceitful, blind Islamist. Do you truly believe the US is funding terrorists like BH, Al Qaida and the rest who try to hurt America at every opportunity or this is just another distraction so Muslims like yourself won't own up to the real cause of Islamism and deal with your own demons? Keep blaming America! It'll do you much good. |
The empty head Buhari talks crap, as usual. Has anyone ever heard anything constructive- new ideas on Policing, Economy, Power, etc- from this man? Only thing he knows is criticize. Only shallow people would want this empty shell in Aso Rock. |
truth.com:The same crap - US and British soldiers killing Muslims. Where? You just keep repeating this untruth. Fine, Bush dragged the US wrongly into Iraq just to topple Saddam, but they are out of there now. Where else are these Muslims being butchered by the West? Afghanistan? What led to the US to be in Afghanistan? I guess the West should have allowed the terrorist camps there free reign to propagate their violence. On Palestine, yes Israel overreacts sometimes, but let's not forget the role of Palestinians in this conflict. They are as guilty if not more than the Israelis for the violence there. Let's not forget the rockets and suicide attacks against Israelis. And with the way Islamists are spreading violence, perhaps more and more nations should adopt the Israelis' tactics. |
defemz: I have said this countless times, it is a wasted effort trying to make these muslims see reason. I once had an encounter with a muslim professor in ABU Zaria, you only need to see what this man was spewing out concerning many issues like killing by muslims, girl child marriage and immunization etc. My conclussion from then on was if a whole professor could be reasoning like this, how would a poor and illiterate muslim reason? Education for muslims is a waste, it has little or no effect on them. Their holy book the Quran has many conflicting directives that can never be reconciled with many realities in the modern day world. Instead of hurling abuse at muslims, they really deserve your pity. Their situation is hopeless and they cant help themselves.Sad, but True. It's hopeless it seems. The so-called enlightened ones are no different ideologically from the gun-toting 'beheaders'. It's got to be something deep within the religion. Always blaming the West or pointing fingers at non-Muslims as the primary excuse for their own violence. |
maclatunji: Local rebellions based on religious beliefs. Those groups aren't more local than Boko Haram. Of course, you conveniently choose to ignore that the west created the problem in the first place.If you truly and honestly equate IRA (of yesteryears) and the Ugandan LRA to Islamic extremism by numerous Muslims all over the world, then good for you. The West created the problem? How? Did the West create Islam? What is the problem, like seriously? How did the West create BH, to use ur example? How is the killings by BH against the West? |
maclatunji: Running all over the place. Anybody can be called any name. The ones you call fanatical Christians may also be called devout. We have Muslim ascetics who 'renounce' the world and prefer leaving in seclusion.How very typical. Bringing up unrelated cases of the local rebellion of IRA and LRA as analogy to the global madness that is Islamic terrorism. As usual, Muslims like you would rather not face the real issues behind Islamic extremism, but attempt to hide through silly analogies. If you don't deal with it in-house, expect the West to send troops to Mali and Afghanistan to do it. Of course, butchery like the one in London would be the occasional way of hitting back by the terrorists. And the terrorists will continue to lose - both the war and any iota of respect for the religion. |
koruji: I must commend your write-up. This discussion is needed within the muslim community.What is most shocking to some NLers is the number of Muslims on NL that justify and support the barbarism displayed by that crackhead in London. One poster on NL asked the difference between drones and beheading and so many spout the usual dumb us against the West, why did the West go to Afghanistan rubbish. The brainwashing is pervasive and quite easy it seems. |
babyosisi: Why is it that when a Christian becomes what folks describe as fanatical they get more engrossed in the church,they become more conservative,they become more quiet in nature,they become engrossed in things of God and want to withdraw from worldly stuff but when a Muslim becomes more fanatical ,he becomes more aggressive ,he acquires violent views and turns into a killing machineWell said. Good advise for Muslims is not to take their religion seriously. Else they might end up hacking people to death in front of the whole world with crude instruments, before being gunned down of course. |
truth.com:Pls stop spouting what is untrue. Drones are used for targeted strikes against individuals, vehicles or a house. Not like it's nuking a whole town. It's based on this and other forms of lies that extremisms springs from. |
maclatunji: Only one religion has extremists? My analogy would infer that you eschew extremism and adopt Islam.Therein lies the problem. Muslims like u would rather bury their head under the sand and spout unrelated analogies than face the fundamental islamic ideology that manifests as extremism. Why do we have islamic terrorism? Because such terrorists truly believe what they do is acceptable to their Allah and that it's in defense of Islam. How do u fix that? Where do they get that notion from? |
truth.com:You are dodging the issue. How did the US and British army kill the 7 brothers? In their sleep? You are the one getting it wrong. If u r talking of accidental collateral damage, it's another matter. But to expect the world to stand by while terrorists are bred and trained in Afghanistan and Mali is wishful thinking. No one wants another 911. |
maclatunji: LOL. So because physicists helped develop the atomic bomb, we should abandon physics altogether. Your kind of intelligence should not be common. Thank you for your uncommon wisdom.I didn't say abandon religion, only the one breeding extremists. Using ur analogy, that would be like abandoning the atomic bomb program, which is sorely destructive and helps no one really. |
If Muslims can be so easily radicalised to extreme barbarism, then the very practical and simple option of abandoning the religion completely should not be underemphasized. |
truth.com:What did the 7 Palestinians do to the US and British Army? Did U bother to ask? Where were they shot? If they had joined some terrorist group and went to Afghanistan and got killed, is that why Muslims should be barbaric like Mujahid? Those justifying what this sick Mujahid dude did are seriously in need of help. |
robinicule: although he has nigerian parents,,...he shouldnt be described as a nigerian, because he doesnt have our mentality,..noAre BH members, that open fire on men, women and children in churches not Nigerians? What has the country of origin got to do with Islamism? The whole country debate is pointless. |
