gunuvi: El Rufai can never change. He is an unrepentant liar. How can Baba kneel down for Atiku? Atiku that postrated for baba openly last November. El rufai, god puni.sh u ooo liar

Both obasanjo and Atiku are politicians and like any politician can stoop to anything to get what they want. Obj wanted to remain president and at the time Atiku could hav stopped him with the governors backing him. In fact, Atiku made a fatal political miscalculation by not edging out obj at 2003 pdp primaries, which he could hav done easily. Given the scenario then and Obj's desperation he could hav even licked Atiku's behind to appease him, not just mere playful kneeling down.

She's indeed setting a good example. In nigeria what we see mostly are rich people raising spoiled children averse to any type of work - even the cert these boys and girls are flaunting ... well, we all know how they came by them.

marriage is a commitment to remain together come what may, be it sickess, poverty,wealth or whatever. U ar specific about happiness - u should know that happiness is self induced in d sense that u chose forurself that state of mind. Yes, u can live with the same person for life and be happy if u want to - the choice is yours. There are countless couples around who hav been married for decades and are not thinking of calling it quits. In fact many older couples will tell u that they never really had any contact b4 wedding- their parents arranged d marriage. And their union has stood maybe 50 years - why? They see marriage as commitment unlike these days that u talk of only love, somfin u dont even understand.

GLO is the only GSM service provider fully-owned by a nigerian. When southern Africans came into the industry they fleeced nigerians, with SIM card going for 30-40k -and MTN has never stopped defrauding us! Back then owning a gsm line was not for the average naija person. A patriotic nigerian saw the scam and vowed to make SIM card free, and he did by bringing GLO. Every Nigerian should hav a GLO sim, the truly nigerian line.

[quote author=Okija_juju][size=20pt]HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU PAID YOUR TAXES....... [/size][/quote]People dont want to pay tax in nigeria because they know that politicians will embezzle the money.

ogugua88: [size=13pt]Wishful thinking on your part. If I'm First Lady of any country, the least I can do is polish myself and speak the nation's official language to represent my fellow Nigerians well. I don't think that's asking for too much.[/size]

If she were truly intelligent and smart she should have learnt to speak good English by now having been in political limelight since 1999. Even a stark illiterate who never went to school would have learnt to speak simple good English in 13 years.

slimyem: I still find it difficult to believe she's actually a Bsc holder with her very poor diction.

If your lover is your lecturer in naija you would still get your certificate even if you are not serious with your studies. He will do his bit of course and work on the other lecturers to do their own. Who cares when the end justifies the means.

Decryptor: I see this as an feigned attack to incite the anger of muslims against christians in Kano state. THE GUN-MEN WHO DID THIS ARE NOT CHRISTIANS! CHRISTIANITY DOES NOT ENCOURAGE VIOLENCE!!

Double post

Writing on the wall for Gej:Pdp presidential primaries all but determined!

babyosisi: Thank you
Suicide bombers are driven by those verses and the a islamic schools of thought that support them base it on those verses and many like it
You heard Dr Zakir tell us the word suicide in suicide bombing is a misnomer
It is not considered suicide in their books
They are fighting a jihad
The aim is to cause maximum damage to the enemy as you sneak upon them and if the perpetrator dies in so doing, allah be praised,he achieves martyrdom
There is already a call in Islam to do just that.
The Koran says hunt down non Muslims and kill them and establish an Islamic empire for Allah
usman Dan fodio heard that call ,jumped on a horse and started slaughtering his way through,he was not sharing bazooka joe to the people he met
Abu Mutallab heard it and tied a bomb unto his Blokoss and bought an airline ticket

"The Koran says hunt down non Muslims and kill them and establish an Islamic empire for Allah". It is misleading to quote or refer to a verse in the Quran without telling the reader the circumstances in which the verse was revealed. You clearly set out to mislead.

[quote author=maclatunji]@hisblud, it is simple logic- if suicide bombing Is so "great and grand", why isn't the leader the first to go? The truth is our government is sleeping, if a country that is Muslim and poor like Mauritania can curb terrorists, Nigeria has no business being in this Boko Haram mess.

sorry, double post.

It is a manifestation of weak leadership which is very annoying.

The boko haram issue is left unresolved by the govt deliberately.I believe that those who are in charge of the almost one trillion naira defence budget will want the party to continue ad infinitum. They can afford to because they are behind the lines and not the ones dying on the front line. On suicide bombing enough has been posted on the fact that a muslim who takes his own life deliberately has only hastened his journey to hell - this is why suicides were virtually unheard of in early muslim societies with deep knowledge of sound islamic teachings. As for boko haram it's their leaders who hav misguided the largely ignorant and disillusioned young people under their spell.

Niger state has the lowest poverty rate! Wonders shall never end. Shall we then all agree that the chief servant (gov) is most qualified in his bid for PDP presidential ticket in 2015.If he turned the fortunes of niger state around in just one year according to NBS, why wont he do it for naija as the president?

Posted on twitter. Next facebook. Does the world need these two?

ileobatojo: I have to strongly disagree with the bolded greatgod. This attitude of leaving people for God to judge is a major reason why we will never progress in Nigeria. Why are we just not interested in holding people accountable for their actions? The law suit is not to bring his wife back, it is to hold the people complicit in her death accountable. If we can't demand accountability from the people you deal with on a day to day basis, how can we demand it from our leaders who we will probably never have any physical contact with? That is how we are leaving them to God as the people are being fed to the dogs on a daily basis. Honestly whenever I hear that phrase as a deterrent for demanding accountability it makes my stomach churn. We already have the legal system we need to get judgments against offenders, why should God come down specially to come and judge again? It's the same as praying for healing without availing oneself of the God given opportunity for medical care.

That being said, I don't believe that the man in question has a case against her parents unless they had a power of attorney for the lady that died. Without a power of attorney, they are not the ones that should be making her medical decisions. If they were making the medical decisions directly, then his case should be against the doctor/hospital for taking orders from the family without legal documentation to support that. The more likely scenario is that the woman decided herself not to get a blood transfusion based on her own religious convictions upon which she was raised. The onus has to fall on the woman herself for making such a decision concerning her own health. Whether she got spiritual guidance from her family members or not, she still called the shots at the end of the day. I actually will put some blame on him for not chasing her family out of the hospital with a damn cutlass when they were helping to put the life of his wife in jeopardy with their spiritual counsel. Or was the guy estranged from his wife and is just now flexing?

I certainly don't know all the specifics but these are my immediate thoughts.

Going to court these days in nigeria is not about whether you hav a good case or not. The courts waste your time and the judges at all levels are so much sucked in corruption that they can turn justice on its head for money. So even with a good case u may not get justice after waiting maybe 10 years and wasting your hard-earned money on lawyers. The man had better forget about the courts.

stagger: Easy case to win in court on a legal technicality. There is nowhere in the Nigerian constitution where the First Lady sacks a councillor. That woman had better cross over to Kaduna state and ask Mrs Yakowa whether she had an inkling that she would be First Lady on a Saturday, and wake up on Sunday an ex-First Lady.

Of course, she can cross over to Kano and ask Hajia Maryam Abacha how far. The house where her husband died is still under guard here in ABJ.

People never learn.

The courts are in the pockets of the governors - so u never know. Besides, the case simple as it seems can last 10 years befor judgement at best, but can also get stucked without a final decision - sadly, this is the situation in naija judiciary today.

"Office of the first lady" - from which constitution did they get "first lady" and "office" for "her excellency". This grand scam is one of the incongruities in nigeria responsible for the country's underdevelopment. The official who wrote the letter did a good job, anyway, by naming/shaming the devil instead of using the usual faceless phrase " I am directed to inform that your services are no longer required...".

Tecno makes good phones- call them chinco or whatever, but their phones are reliable. I used a tecno T something dual-sim briefly befor giving it out and picking nokia c2-03, but discovered that tecno battery was superior with up to 4 days use when the nokia had only 5 hours talktime max. Dont write off tecno as chinco.

sparko1: k? what do you mean by k? you quoted everything and just typed k? is there some kind of allowance for replying. Jess!

When u ar using a small phone quoting portions of a post is not possible; even with PC some posters no sabi. Besides, this particular poster may hav send the k mistakenly or taken off his/her initial post leaving only an alphabet since u are not allowed to clean off everything u had sent. Maybe somebody should post a tutorial on this.

This happened at a mosque here in nigeria: After afternoon prayers a woman stood at the doorway of d mosque and announced, "I am a xtian". She then xplained how she lost all her goods and money the previous day while returning from a biz trip. Muslims gave her money without even asking a question from the woman about her faith or genuineness of her story. This is d true spirit of islam.

The snake was not killed but released into the wild. That's compassion par excellence. We should show mercy as we want mercy ourselves. Let's not forget that the snake did no harm and was not intending to as the xpert said

afam4eva: Shebi na to kill the snake and continue your life. Will someone move out because of snake. na when the snake don become too much na him wahala go dey.

Not everyone wants to take life, any life. Driving the snake away would be better.

Worked for 30 years without severance benefits or pension from his employer! How would a man survive in retirement in dignity?

pinkrex: So Christians fervency in church attendance is why Boko-haram decided to wipe out Nigeria?

So many mis-conceptions, owing to religion. Smh

Perhaps Boko haram will give an answer u if they choose.

pinkrex: How has that become a recent event? Or you just noticed?

Besides, how other people worship their God now disturbs your religion? Smh.

To educate you.. The bible instructed all brethren to 'pray without ceasing'. Besides you don't go to God only sundays, there's no law to that effect.

It's xtians that are rejecting church-going, not muslims.

pinkrex: Prophet Muhammed.

How does method of worship and imitation concern this thread?

We were used to xtians going to church on sundays. It's this muslim-like daily church attendance that is causing the uproar/revolt - that's the connection.

Lots of copycat imitation going on. The muslims daily 5 times-a-day mosque attendance is nowadays imitated in daily fellowships by some xtians, the same way some muslims now celebrate birthday of their religious figures in imitation of xmas. Tourists going to Jerusalem call it pilgrimage and on return adopt JP in imitation of hajj pilgrimage and the title of "Alhaji". You see cutting of wedding cakes in Muslim marriage ceremonies in imitation of xtians. Etc, Etc.

The certificate is evidence of the knowledge acquired; without the knowledge the certificate signifies nothing and is, therefore, worthless. But in nigeria today certificate is taken as knowledge itself; so, everybody goes to pick up Bsc, BA, LL.B, MBBS, B.ed by whatever means including purchase, forgery, theft, impersonation. We worship certificate and the nation is sorely paying the price.

Joshcoli: This post is coming in handy
I was dating this girl and we both loved
Ourselves, but the distance thing cuz; I'm in lagos and she in the north, so we partially splitted, but kept a little line of comunication, now I came to see my parent for the yelutide and we met again and am falling inlove again; and I also so the feelings in her eyes too, this time I proposed to her officially, bt she said she's got into a relationship in october last year and here I'm coming to say I want to marry her, so far this other dude has been nice to her and the family she's doesn't know how to just tell him its over and things are happening very fast with this guy. The worst case scenerio is that I'm working in lagos and she's in north west corner and this other dude is in the north west corner too# Damn!... I've a lady I'm dating in lagos but I can't marry her, my heart is at peace with the one in the north for a wife. Heading back to lagos today and I'm so damn confused....
We've been communicating well, talk for long time but...

The one u are dating now u cant marry her; but u want to marry the other. Search your conscience - that's where you will find the answer.

These dos and donts are prescriptions for oyibo and western people. Can one really apply them in this country?
