@tkb417, Here we go again! Must it be a christian muslim thing? The thread talked about CAN president at a christian event. We are not saying anything on this 'Blog' so don't draw conclusions that would start conflict here.

@JJyou, I can understand why you concluded that @poster meant christians gamble but you need to examine the thread that lead to that, it was totally uncalled for. Someone is trying not to sin from his understanding and one of the posters insulted him for that- isn't that wrong? Please take it easy. Everyone can insult or draw conclusions, its just not the thread to do so. Please!

Seeing Maicon in this confed. Cup, I'd say he is better than Alves.

Love everything Chelsea, except the dry gin. Won't mind Chelsea Clinton too!

@javalove, I understand your plight! Allah knows I won't have thought about it this way- wo I will even make a software that would be able to pick the number of the poorest entrant as winner whether he's right or not. I'll feel better that way.lol.
Why not make a software that would pick say the first correct entry or something less random- though it could be a breech of contract if you don't do exactly what you are told.
If you can't find a midway and it is concluded it is Haram, then let someone else get all the money.

@kobojunkie, good day to you too. Still unbelievable that you said a Recalcitrant person is not automatically guilty. In case you plan a come-back as most recalcitrant people do then start by reacting to my post on nature then we'll take it from there.
@cabali, @biina and co.- nice work!
I'm outta here, hopefully.

Ok Sean, looking fwd to the 16th of July. Do post excerpts here for us to ruminate.
I'm outta here!

@tpiah, don't mind oyinda and oyb. New york has the most number of immigrants from around the world- so it does not belong to New yorkers?
Let them bring politicians from their village to become L S governor nau.
@oyinda, keep believing I'm Igbo, I never said you were wrong. Lagos people have been very accommodating so it isn't a Yoruba state? Thats just Slime!
Oh, Sean is back!

@kobojunkie, whether its a Nigerian tactic or not it is now fact that you don't understand jack. You've left Nigeria for too long! What is the meaning of recalcitrant?- unwilling to obey rules. Try being recalcitrant anywhere in the world and see if a gun butt wouldn't be used on your face. Then you can go to court with your plastic surgeon by your side afterwards.
You are just riding on the back of pity knowing anybody will condemn inhamane acts.
The water boarding footage you saw- was it on the G bay inmates or just an example from movies. My point anyway is they won't televise such inhamane acts but doesn't mean it doesn't occur.
My example with blacks doesn't read- its useless to protest against Police brutality(if they didn't will it stop?), but I still maintain and you know, we won't have a turnaround in one day. Police brutality usually doesn't come un-provoked. Check your records.
As you dissect this one, don't try to show I mean what I don't. The facts are clearly stated now: you refuse to obey law, you pay! And everyone knows even the innocent suffer in such cases and then they get the sincere apologies.

@kobojunkie, one more thing. You said: 'does nature treat us like animals when we break natures rules?' - tell that to those that were punished by that South Asian tsunami for breaking natures' environmental laws on air pollution- oh, you can't because most of them are dead, killed like animals actually! May they RIP. They were not even breaking natures' rules directly. I'll tell you again: when you compare 2 situations, show that you comprehend!

@kobojunkie, You dissected my last post but you apparently still don't understand jack. Listen: 1. Wear your helmets on a bike- people sit on a bike holding the helmet in hand. Isn't that blatant disregard for law?
2. You keep hearing of water boarding going on at G bay but have you even seen a video footage before?- you won't because it is not humane so they show the inmates planting trees and playing basketball to deceive people like you.
3. It was the traders that resisted that were whipped not innocent ones. Get this fact right o because it is the blindest part of your argument.
4. We can't get an immediate turnaround with our human rights record. We'll have to go from endemic cases to sporadic cases to very rare cases and this could take years. You can speak against it all you want. It is a slow process.
The blacks in US fought for years against Police brutality and racial injustice- they largely won after many years and many lives but note this : that same US is a 'free' country but Nigeria is not.
Don't just keep your eyes open, look!

@oyb, I don't know what you mean by 'Lagos cannot really be called a Yoruba city anymore'. What is it? Hausa city? Igbo city? Please answer o because it must fall for one major tribe. Who is debating that anyway? If you are not from Lagos go and see how easy it is to get a LS govt job even if you are Yoruba,

Don't start another argument here. Just stick to the topic.

@kobojunkie, you don't read between the lines. The koko of my posts is confronting govt. aint smart! Nigerians do exactly what you tell them not to do. How many times have you crossed an expressway with the pedestrian bridge just meters away? Or how many times have you seen people fail to use the protective helmets govt is trying to enforce? And you talk 'humane'!
Again when you compare 2 situations please show that you comprehend. How can you compare Guant. Bay criminals with computer village traders? The eyes of the world is on G bay ok! In other words next time a policeman wants to whip you for going against the law again, just tell him that you have someone video-tapping the event and see if he'll continue. A recording is the only proof that can get him punished without which a judge will throw your case out. All the good 'humane' treatment you see at G bay is for show so people don't complain. You also have to agree respect for human rights is better now than during Tinubu where, though I don't know about Police, LASTMA was terrible. The Lagos jungle is getting urbanised so join the evolution.

@lacicrisp, if you want to know the police well just commit a crime and get arrested without complaint. I'm sure they'd treat you with respect even give you a good clean cell. On the other hand if you resist you'll get whipped and they'd throw you in with a homosexual thug. You think you know the police more than everyone?

@busybody, you'd better be refering to only walakolobo to grow up. He just came on and called everyone stupid for airing personal views on a PUBLIC forum. I don't care if Sean is for real or not but you don't blatantly insult people on a PUBLIC forum. Did he pay for my laptop.
@walakolobo, next time you wanna call people stupid on NL add 'excluding MUZBO' or else it's on!

I think the US would be more reluctant to give nuclear energy to an unstable country like ours, its Russia that does things like this. Who cares anyway, let them just site it in a very secured desert or rain forest so any disaster would be without human casualties.

I feel sorry for these soldiers. Mutiny is a serious offence and the Military. The only way they'd get a better sentence is if another military court says it won't call it mutiny, but I doubt if they'd be allowed to remain in the Military afterwards. Nigeria please treat them well o, they put their lives on the line for You.

I'm done with you @ walakolobo. An advice for you though: next time you wanna post on Nairaland, patiently check to see if there are any prequels and study it well so you don't end up saying rubbish on the sequel.
I no run o, never! but it seems you got nothing else to say so now you tell me who won.

@ilosiwaju, pardon me jare. Thank you for your post. The guy just came in with his first post and started calling everyone fools. Can you imagine that. Thats how he got me started.

@ walakolobo, I still maintain that you are a fool but it aint your fault, you are just a chip off the old block. Why did Sean come to Nairaland?- it's to get more insight into his research.
Why is Nairaland the appropriate forum?- Because it is the Biggest online network of Nigerians in Nigeria.
You think he just posted so as to allay fears about him being a spy? Of course not, he could've just called his superiors and said Sir, I think some smart guys on Nairaland(excluding you of course) are on to me and they'd replace him with someone else. We are not looking to teach him his research, we are just going to suggest ways he can go through it easily. Don't you patronize street traders?- you do! So it means you are relevant to his research and where can he find you? HERE! on Nairaland not in your hut in Abule egba.
Thats why the guy said he found this wonderful site- if you read his post.
One more thing: I'm not and I'm sure no one is interested in reading your research even if it is about why you are so stupid. Reason is a research is supposed to proffer solutions to problems and I doubt if your stupidity can be solved.

@ walakolobo, you are as dumb as they come. First check the meaning of eggheads and you'll see how your smart ass has outsmarted himself with contradiction. Now who is speaking from the butt?- you!
This forum is interactive and people respond aptly. Let Sean post again and see how much help he gets.
You just sit there blabbing and accusing open minded rightly guided fellows of the forum as if you can do better. You better recognise and brace up!, fool.

Aloy or should I say poster? Before you are done with your own topic which you were also the first to respond to- let me say its clear that you had one thing in mind with this and that was to disparage Gov. Fashola, well, you failed and woefully too. Now have you ever thought just for one minute that the police wanted to get to the market to catch people in the act of breaking the law rather than turning them back? ehn Mr master mind? And you talk about 'if the govt is peace loving'! What if the people are law abiding?hisses.
I don't like govt but that doesn't mean I'll confront them. You think because it was a jungle when Tinubu was there and you monkeys had a field day then it should remain so? , well, I got news for you: they're cutting down the trees now so evolve or die! You are welcome.

Semu ni! Americans prefer or lets say invented the latter.

It shouldn't be scrapped, just restructured! e.g reduce the duration and increase the pay.

Yeah, Sean it is about time you responded thats after you take off your spy costume.lol. Didn't think you were a spy but I'm still skeptical about your post. Here's one for your books: street trading is a blessing because it brings relief to those buying and selling but its a curse because hapless unsuspecting motorist could be relieved of their valuables. I value my valuables, goes without saying doesn't it? So I'd rather have it banned!
It could work in other States but in Lagos? Wouldn't even miss it.

Aloy, here we go again with your terrible analogies. So its only Osama that has bombs to throw around? And you talk about being fair to ethnic groups!

Aloy, yes I'm a slave because I am smart enough not to mess with govt right? Well, master Aloy, two things: 1. Your analogies suck! Can't even believe you are trying to justify the action of pipeline vandals because they got killed in the process. Are you saying if I'm poor I should get an AK and start robbing people? Even Robin Hood would shoot you between the eyes with a poisonous arrow for that your ridiculous analogy. Your comparison of Nigeria and developed countries is so appalling. Those countries are light years ahead. We should get with our own programme and gradually improve. You think it will take us one day to leave the human rights watch list? ehn Mr. 'Smart Guy Defender of the Universe'? And 2. Yes, those people wouldn't have died in the Swamp if they were forewarned about a bomb blast. When the bombs were being disposed of people heard the blast but didn't flinch, reason? It was announced and people were forewarned.Fact!
Also note: I have a the education you'd be impressed by. Thats what makes me smarter!

Kobojunkie, I know exactly where you are going with this but fact is still that it is not worth confronting govt. Ok, they apologise! then?, the damage has been done. Did BA apologise to my Naija guy, I don't remember and if they did it would have been BA not the guy who harassed him. Picture the whop-happy crooked cops apologizing to the whopped- he won't! he'll rather wait for govt to do that and trust me they are good at it: oh sorry you got whopped but you can't return here. Some say they even have apology advisers.
If they were forewarned then the traders were wrong.

Aloy, Biina stop your argument, just watch me take sides.
Binna, I'll go with you on this one.
If the traders had been forewarned then they should be shot!
What most Nigerians don't understand is the fact that you can't win the govt, at least not without the courts and when you do all you get is some lousy payment. Nobody retires or gets fired for your whopped a*s. Ilorin lecturers had a face off with the govt, they finally won but at what cost? Those that were supposed to have become Professors amongst them have wasted years and they now get 8 years arrears! Where's the money for arrears coming from?- yes the govt pocket not that of the guy that fired them! Confrontation with govt doesn't always end well. If govt wants to evict you and you are unhappy then go to court and get a restraint, don't wait for the whip to come and expect not to get bullied!
May God save us from 'collateral damage' as witnesses

What if he is a private contractor doing research for the CIA?
All I know is he must be doing research!
