not true , make jealousy no wound u oga

You people know next to nothing about the western world yet often speak with such certainty.

So uninformed and yet so sure.

All that religion that you idiots absorb/accept (certainty without facts) has completely destroyed your ability to reason.

Educate yourself dummy.

Police everywhere are abusive and irrational.

You guys can be so naive about life in the western world.

Resist arrest in Canada and see what happens to you - particularly if you are not caucasoid. They'll carry you away, once they've bludgeoned you with their night sticks.

THEY ARE EVEN FROM THE SOUTH SOUTH

WHY ARE THEY RUNNING AWAY I THOUGHT THEY SAID GEJ HAS TRANSFORMED NIGERIA. ARE THEY TIRED OF TRANSFORMATIONS?

MANY OF THEM ARE BLINDED BY RELIGIOUS AND ETHNIC SENTIMENTS. THEY PREFER GEJ TILL 2019 EVEN IF IT MEANS THEY DIE OF POVERTY.

IF I WAS THERE I WOULD HAVE SUGGESTED THEY THROW THEM INTO THE OCEAN SO THE SHARKS CAN FEED ON THEIR BALLS. USELESS FOOOLS

meanwhile,

vote GMB for the desired change.

Sai Buhari

Which of those is from the "South-South"?

Ibrahim Sola is from the "South-South"?

I would,nt think any body wanna buy this car just to show off, show off to who? White/black people have more nicer and comfortable cars than this, I don't suppose you live in the UK, do you?

People do buy such cars to show off.

There are some people who do have nicer cars but to shallow people who look at the badge what matters is that Mercedes logo and the fact that it is a gas guzzling 4x4 - to some people that signifies wealth.

This guy is clearly proud of his car - hence the photo.

Would he have taken such a photo on top of a 1999 Camry?

otiigba1:
yes I know, not in London perhaps besides the insurance will be very expensive, Nigerians buy it because I presume they do not pay for car insurance or road tax, anyway as I said its only used by farmers mostly

Very few viable farms in the UK but a lot of 4x4s in the cities.

Just saying.

Most farmers drive the older diesel Land Rovers and not a Mercedes.

This is a vanity vehicle the world over - not particular to Nigeria at all.

otiigba1:
Who buys this kinda junk, here in England this junk is used for mounting climbers and animal farmers

There are people in England who buy such cars to show off too.

Why would anyone need such a car in London?

Stop being dishonest.

This is why democracy sucks sometimes.

Democracy is a mistake when people are so willfully stupid.

People who are argue that a building collapsing is a natural phenomenon need to be recused from any and all positions of responsibility.

Misogynist2014:
IF YOU ARE OPPORTUNED TO READ THE BIBLE, YOU WILL UNDERSTAND ALL THESE YOU HAVE WRITTEN. WHERE GOD TALKED ABOUT HOW EVIL ISTRAEL HAD BECOME, EVEN AFTER DEALING HARD WITH THEM, GOD TALKED ABOUT EVIL PEOPLE, WHO WOULD SAY THEY'VE HEARD FROM HIM, WHO LIED LIKE PHARISEES AND DECIEVED THE PEOPLE. EVEN WHEN THE LAWS WERE WRITTEN DOWN, ISTRAELITES STILL FELL SHORT. KNOWING GOD WILL NOT CLEAR SIN FROM A WHOLE NATION, IT WILL ONLY INSTILL CONSCIENCE, WHICH IMPEDES FURTHER ROTTENNESS.

I have read the Bible, more than once.

I know bullshit when I see it.

The simple truth is - Xtianity is popular because it has provided an avenue for some people to grab power and further mislead.

Misogynist2014:
Slavery is as old as mankind itself. Morality in the west died the day the traditional Christian background of those countries died. As for the actions of the Vatican, I think unlike ISIS, they have no justification for their actions in NT, their actions even spread out to the persecution of the Baptist Churches, even today, the Pope still remains the most influential man on earth.

If you are claiming that Xtianity is so wonderful then it would have stopped the European propensity for the mistreatment (including) the enslavement of human beings; the theft of land on every continent.

If Xtianity was so wonderful the Catholic Church would never have gone through the repulsive child-sex scandal nor the various financial scandals.

You buy a G-Wagon but you can't tidy/paint your compound?

Talk about priorities.

He had no regard for people who work in finance (flipped the tables of the money changers) and advised those with a lot of material wealth to give it away in order to follow him.

So how people who work in banks and claim xtianity justify their actions is something that I would like to hear. Prosperity preachers too.

Misogynist2014:
We can't get rid of Christianity. The west is an example of what effects it will have on the society.

Western nations were practicing religious and ethnic bigotry; slavery; invading foreign lands to steal resources and maintaining class systems that excluded the majority of their citizens all the while proclaiming 'Xtianity'.

The Dark Ages in Europe took place when the power of the Vatican was left unchecked.

Please do not allow yourself to be deceived, Islam and Xtianity are different sides of the same wooden coin.

The West is going down the toilet because they have made it a policy decision to destroy the family in order to strengthen the power of the state and allow businesses to profit from their misery.

This article could also be retitled "Why the internet is so important for Nigerian education and democracy"

A free press is critical to the growth and development of any society and to the survival and vibrancy of any democracy. Nigeria is said to have a free and independent media, and this is often interpreted to mean that, in Nigeria, journalists are going about their work without state interference. For me, this is a narrow understanding of freedom of the press, and this one-sided view has caused many to mischaracterize the situation of the media in the country. The government is just one out of many agents or actors that could undermine or muzzle the press. Religious agencies, drug cartels, multinationals and other business interests can hamper freedom of the press in a country.

Today, many people tend to think that in Nigeria, there is freedom of the press. But in actual fact there is not. In this piece I would like to point out a very disturbing trend in the Nigerian media: religious censorship. Religious censorship is very pronounced in the print and electronic media in the country. By this I mean that, today in Nigeria, there are views and reports that cannot be published or broadcast in the media because of religious sentiments, because such reports or perspectives are deemed to be offensive to the religious sensibilities of the faithful.

In principle, media agencies in Nigeria claim to be objective, factual and balanced in their reporting. They claim to embody ethical and professional journalism. But in practice this is not the case, particularly when it comes to religious issues.

In most cases, media agencies in Nigeria are biased, unethical and unprofessional in their reporting. Many of what we have as national newspapers – both privately and state owned – are in fact religious – Christian or Islamic or ‘chrislamic’ dalies whose ‘unwritten policy’ is to further these religious interests. Very often the newspapers do not reflect the diversity of views, opinions and perspectives in terms of religious belief and unbelief. Their news, reports and opinions are biased towards religions – Christianity and Islam only. Every week, most media agencies in the country devote a lot of time and space to mainly Christian and religious prayers, preaching and propagation. Most radio and television stations start their daily broadcast with Christian and/or Islamic prayers, devotions and reflections. Meanwhile such opportunities are not extended to those who profess other faiths or none. Still media agencies claim to be free, fair, impartial and objective in their reporting and publications.

Most media houses in Nigeria do not publish or broadcast views that are critical of religious doctrines particularly Christian and Islamic dogmas. So where is the objectivity, ethical and professional journalism when the perspectives of those who hold contrary opinions or those who belong to religious minorities or those who profess no faith are completely shut out or censored?

Some of our so-called state and privately owned newspapers, television and radio stations in Northern Nigeria only publish or broadcast Islamic or pro-Islam teachings and preaching. They do not approve the publication or broadcast of a perspective that is critical of Islam. And no one dares question this outrageous media policy.

Also in Southern Nigeria, there are some state or privately owned newspapers, radio and television stations that only publish or broadcast Christian or pro-Christian news and reports. Any report other than or critical of Christianity, no matter how factual and objective it is, will not be approved by the editorial or management team. Some of the radio and television stations in South East and South South are as good as the Vatican radio. They are Christian media outfits. One of the main reasons for religious censorship in the media is because our media agencies are owned or managed by Christian and Islamic fanatics who use their public offices or private businesses to promote their faiths. They regard their jobs, offices and businesses as tools of evangelism, jihad and religious propaganda. Their media agencies are extensions of their churches and mosques.

Also our media houses are populated with mostly journalists who double as priests, pastors, imams and Ustaz. And as those supposedly called by God or Allah, they do not want to report or be seen to be reporting or publishing anything critical or contrary to their faiths. They use their ‘pen’ or talents to defend their faith and further the cause of God or Allah.

Religious censorship is not good for our media and for the development of the country, particularly in this age of information technology. Some of the views which our electronic and print media houses suppress or censor get published any way. Many people who cannot have their religious or non-religious views published in the mainstream media, can now post or publish them on the internet. So media houses that practice religious censorship risk losing their credibility and market as a source of objective and reliable information.

In conclusion, Nigeria is a country whose democracy, peace, security and development is threatened by religious fundamentalism. Since independence, Nigeria has witnessed protracted religious crises mainly in Northern Nigeria. Thousands of Nigerians have lost their lives to religious riots. And recently an Islamist group, Boko Haram, launched a violent campaign against the government and state agencies. The members have carried out attacks on public places including the Force Headquarters in Abuja and have killed many security agents and civilians.

Nigerians need a free and uncensored media to safeguard their democracy and combat the dark and destructive influence of religions. The media agencies in the country must do away with religious censorship in other to generate ideas and reliable information which the state and its citizens need to tackle and address the menace of religious fanaticism and other faith-based problems.

Misogynist2014:
6). Stop practicing the blood sucking religion called Islam.

Can we get rid of Xtianity too?

We can do without both so long as we are willing to educate everyone.

This would begin with convincing certain people how beneficial it can be to know how to learn and how to educate yourself which is very easy to do in the internet era.

6.Opening churches and mosques unnecessarily thereby compounding more noise pollution in the vicinity of human inhabitants.

Good addition.

I wish there was some form of restrictive license needed to open a church or mosque - maybe even a system similar to what they have in Angola to stem the tide of new churches popping up everywhere.

Number 1 is annoying everywhere - you can never stop all the bad drivers. Even in places with CCTV/number plate readers and speed cameras people still elect to drive like morons.

Number 3 and 4 are annoying in Nigeria, more so because people will then cry about 'government' not doing anything not realizing that it is the occupier/owner in combination with all the fly-tippers that has caused the nearby roads to become flooded.

Number 3 is particularly silly when you consider all the water borne diseases that the poor Nigerians have to deal with. The fact that standing water is a breeding ground for mosquitoes and the like should cause people to understand that proper drainage should be a priority.

victorv12:
I never knew those fvcking zionist can recruit blacks to join their military. They're more racially and socially conscious than europeans. Crazy zionist! Bombing and killing innocent palestinians is their way. It's so infortunate they got one of ours and tured her into a yoruba jew.

They're much like the Americans and Europeans - they allow pretty much anyone to risk their life (or die) for that country.

GBTYO:
fool

Did I say something erroneous?

That is what the IDF does - they murder Palestinians.

If she wanted to join the armed forces and murder Muslims she could have stayed in Naija.

The problem with retractions is that they do not grab the attention in the same way that falsified headlines do.


P.S.
I long since noticed that The Guardian has gone downhill since the old man died.

As you can see, she is home grown, she had never been poisoned by no atom of incapability or inability. Her parent knew the truth. You can not allow another people's educational curriculum affect or get in the way of your child's future and destiny.

A child that knows her parents, her parent's parent and her proud heritage "must" definitely excel. Not the heritage stories told by those who do not us at all. First, do you as a parent know of your heritage the true great heritage, not the history of you told by those who destroyed it?
The truth is the foundation by which life grows.
Once your child or kid know of his/her proud heritage and her fathers/mothers, it will be natural for her to walk in those perfect step which will lead to greatness.

There are thousands of black kids like this already around the globe. i once knew of a 14 year old bio-chemist graduate, best of his class.
Once your true history is known, Your future is certain, 1 billion satans won't have none, nothing on you.

How much will it cost you? Nothing! in fact, you would save more and make yourself a millionaire in the process. it requires your time in knowing and researching your true history , developing yourselves and educating your children accordingly. food is a vital process too, learning how to eat, what to eat, when to eat and how much to eat.

Really good post sir.

I have cousins who were (and others that are being) home schooled, all of them entered college before they were 17.

Sending children to school often means leaving them to pick up the bad habits of their peers and having to deal with the ignorance of their teachers.

The Anglo-Saxon system holds our children back. Those that can should teach their own children.

dovelike:
Congrats sister. People like you are the answers to all Nigeria ' s problems

Not those people that say 21 million Nigerians are mentally retarded.

No one said that 21 million Nigerians are mentally slow.

It was estimated that 21 million people in Nigeria suffer from a variety of mental illnesses - it could be depression, it could be dementia, aspergers or it could be schizophrenia. None of those mean that a person is 'slow'.

The problem is that it often goes undiagnosed or worse, the sufferer is placed in the hands of religious charlatans for the purposes of 'deliverance' and other such stupid practices.

Your comment really highlights how important that article is. A lot of people are ignorant about mental and emotional welfare.

Mental health is as important as physical health.

Waste of time and money for sure.

To those who say that they did it to satiate the childish demands of the woman - I pity you, that is an unfortunate way to begin an adult commitment.

Only in naija

What is this 'Only in naija' nonsense that I keep seeing on this board?

Do you even follow the news?

Wherever there is conflict the local citizens (those that don't want to run) will always get involved.

See Ukraine, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan.

There is no point in having money and no infrastructure.

It's not as if they do in on purpose, stealing/bribe (sin) is a spirit. They take over you and inturn take away your concience.

The woman in question might have been possessed by these spirit and make her forget that are prying eyes on her; making her commit that at that particular time. She is lost in this believe that she won't be caught.

We all are sinners, its after we might have committed and are caught that we realise all that has happened or when we succed. ( dont take the devil as an excuse to commit; on judgement day you are on your own).

I think you need not blame the woman for doing that. Since our God is a forgiving One, he will forgive her if she deem it fit to confess.

You claim that such people have no choice, that they are overcome by a 'spirit'.

That would completely negate the doctrine of 'free will'.

English officiating is poor, that much is not in doubt.

But it's not just Chelsea that suffer.

What happened to "free will"?

Chesman10:
you have made my day. This is what I have always argued with friends back then in Nigeria. They never agreed with me. Nigeria problem is black man problem. Culture of hatred, bitterness and self-serving is generally, black mans problem.Let no one deceive you about leadership. Our culture is the greatest barrier. Sycophancy and celebration of mediocrity inherent in our culture inhibits development.Love you Aussies, the greatest land of humanity and hopitality.

I'm glad that I made your day but I have no idea what "black man problem" is.

Greece is in economic turmoil right now - those people are not 'black'.

Likewise Ukraine.

Argentina has been in flux for the best part of twenty years, again those people are not 'black.

Same goes for Syria, Lebanon and Iraq.

Please do not misconstrue what I meant. Nigeria's cultural problems are largely rooted in a failure by the majority to understand their surroundings and their history. If they did then they would aspire for better and have more respect for their environment and their neighbors. My hope is that one day Nigerians will understand that they are sat on some of the most valuable real estate on the planet and treat it with the respect that it deserves.

It is far from being all bad, Nigeria has improved a great deal since the military left power and there are people in that country intent on doing what is best for their homeland. You mentioned, hatred as a Nigerian problem, hatred is part of the human condition but self-hatred is a sickness often displayed on this forum by those claiming to be Nigerian. I take issue with the never ending list of people eager to run down Nigeria - some of whom are bitter Nigerians but many are foreigners who have never stepped foot in Nigeria. That is the height of ignorance.

With all due respect, I do not believe that we are on the same page. Nigeria is far from being the worst place in the world, the Western world is in a situation that it cannot pull itself out of in that the economic system that they have foistered upon the world is now failing their own people. Most western nations are now suffering increased unemployment or a drop in living standards allied with a rise in taxes. Sadly, there is a lack of perspective and these facts are missed (or ignored) by many people who seem keen to attack Nigeria.

Do u think God loves disobeying Him?

If everything is predestined by him how then can anyone disobey him?

Many of those are good points but why would god be sad if everything is "in his plans"?

If god loves everyone then how can any pregnancy be considered "unwanted"?
