"Al'majir" or "Almajiri" is an institution, a social one.

Philosophically, it is on the par of social welfare in Western countries. Its practice and operation however is not anywhere at par with them.

Its purpose in Islam is for both economic and cultural reasons.

I can explain further on the above statement if clarity is needed but let me go to topic.


The government need to come up with a robust social priogramme that centers on wealth redistribution for Nigerian citizens.

Such a programme will be a expensive launch but its benefits will pay off in the offsets gained through an elevated quality of living and social evolution.

That's good!

Now let's think about it. He is not the first Lagos State governor that beatified the state.
The problem is that as much as government try to improve and make life bearable for the citizens, the population is not suporting and helping the givernment in the upkeep and sustenance of the projects.

Pretty soon someone will go pee in those plants or tell his/her little baby to go stoop and defecate in the brushes.

There need to be a reaction when people witness stuffs like that. Not a confrontation but a humiliating verbal reminder to the offender for why such action is deplorable.

Apoti,

Going with that thinking offered by Gej, it gives a sneak peek into the mindset of our rulers. Each governor or president believing his regime is a personal government.

The government belong to the people. The people do not change every four years and neither is the society replaced every four years.

So there are aspects of the society that, for a wholesome sustenance, demand linkage and continuation through successive regimes.
How does he plan to implement a 20Yr vision, prpose and obtain a 20yr tenure?

President and governors should not over-commit. Promise what you can deliver within 4yrs tenure.
If it requires longer than 4yrs to implement, then it should be a pass-on to next regime.

We don't need to change constittion to accomodate tenure change. What we have is fine we just need to change mindset.

The constitution puts a pressure on the government and this for good reason. To make the three arms of government work together in finding solutions to social problems.

By amending the constitution, they are lifting the pressure off and not solving the problems.

Sad and misunderstanding of the dynamics of government and a constitutional power.

Very good vision!!

On Mass Transit, rail system is a far more commitmeNt mooney and timewise when compared to waterways transportation like ferries.

For South and South East, are there existing and functional waterways mass transit system managed by the authorities?

I agree with Dr Egbosiuba's argument.

I see a pattern where each political regime wants to introduce amendments to the cnstitution.
That should be discouraged and I wonder what provisions exist in the constituion itself on an amendment ratification and if that's be adhered to by the executive and the assembly.

Eze,

This is serious matter for me.

You have seen me in the past two weeks or so continously hammer and hamper Igbo discussions in different forums. There is reason for it. I begged them for almost a whole year to lay off attacking Yoruba politics but none listened.

I'm usually in foreign affairs and hardly in this section or ethnice. So I'm on attack myself and if you are Igbo, which I doubt in these days of multidimensional identities, you will listen to my rants. I guarantee you! Fool!!


Okoro, drop that bS, it happened, wake up to it and grab your machette!

Ndigbo you see how divided you are?

Instead of responding collectively as a people and calling it an Igboland problem, you begin separating yourself into Anambra, Enugu, Anioma, Awka, Umuahia.

When it happened in Ekiti you didn't hear Yoruba say shame on Ekiti. We rallied our voices around Ekiti and spoke with one voice, the Yoruba voice! The Oyo man did not say if this had been Ibadan, the Lagos man did not say if this had been in Agege, nobody said if this had been in Shagamu.

We might be cowards but we are at least united in our cowardice.

Your cowardice is on display for the world to see now. A repeated kill and rape in the heartland of Igboland. You are divided in your cowardice.

Not to mention a r a p e is a far worse offense on the psychology of the tribe than a murder, and yet you are impotent and paralysed to act.


Listen to how sordid some of your excuses sound:

"It was a surprise attack"

ProudIgbo, muderers and rap_ists don't wait to be invited, they drop in! , and this wasn their first time doing this to that town.

"We didn't attack for consideration of counter reprisals and lives of Igbos in the North"

Abagoro, teach that value to your fellow Igbos that sometimes a silence in the face of an enemy harassment does not mean cowardice, it is necessary sometimes to swallow hurt and humiliation in consideration for much bigger gains elsewhere.

"We are planning and they will hear us soon".

Once they run into police or army cover, forget it. You have to wait for another opportunity from which you can avenge this humiliation.


To namfav, shame on you! They say fulani killed and raped women and you responded with a defense that they don't rape. Shame on you! So killing is okay? Why do fulanis run for cover if you are as brave as you claim? Why not wait and face the people if you are that much sure in your prowess to dominate?

But wen it hapend n Ekiti, u guys(igbos) tnk the Ekitis and Yorubas suld imediatly cary their cutlases and guns and stat masacrng the fulanis


They said the problem was recurrent in Ekiti if I remember correctly. That means the Fulanis remained behind in the community and didn't run.

That is different




Fool! The Imo situation is a repeat. The fulanis have done this there before.

In Ekiti, there was no women raped. That's a great disgrace to a community. When a foreigner enter your community kill your people and then lay your women on their back and forcefully take them against their will. He's shoowing you he dominates over your a s s. He's daring you to try something if you can. This is not first time they did this in Imo.

The Ekiti youths went after the fulanis but they ran to police for cover.
Without the police cover they all would have been killed.

So yes you are d_amn right "its different"!

All proud igbo should be enraged by the incident. I'm enraged by igbo failure to do right thing and the fulani assault on innocent women. Tats very studpi and obscene. I hope these fulani perpetrators are caught.

Abagowro, I'm dissapointed in yoiur home town imo. Wey your machette?

Tpia,

Yes, I do if the target group is distinct enough in its history, arts, culture, customs that such exclusions in leads do not impact the tracking.

Chinenye,

In politics its good to border on controversy. I want you to vote for me when I seek office in Yorubaland.

ezeagu:

Concentrating on your Fulani masters chopping up your people in Ekiti would be a much more better way of using your time


Eze, nna, when u go march go village with ya machette?

ZnO:
Igbo terrorists attacck Igbos. Not good but not half as bad as Fulani terrorists attack Yoruba

So, yours is an outsider worsting you in your own backyard. See the difference? Odechukwu Seanet


Wey ZnO?

ZnO, report here now come repeat that thing about fulani.

What was that about fulani and yoruba u said?

Come talk about these poor igbo women wey my people don come your papa soil violate.

Onye oshi! Them want you bring your machette come village, prepare for fight.

Wey ogbuefi and Abagworo? Eze na god go hamma ya a s s, pick ur machette and join line.

Wey ngo "the brute" ? Lock ya shop for alaba and pick up machette to march to imo.

I be back. Chineke maka pogi!

Look tell Edo people close the boundary no let fulani escape east. They have two choice, face brutal massacre for East or head North.

No access to west.

Ilorin people block them for border, let the malu pass down but block the blood thristy murderers.

Since when did fulani begin r a p e outside their race. Who teach am how to do that? Onyi ara!

Ah, I see!!

When this happened in Ekiti, there was no r a p e it was just fighting and robbery, no killing. The yoruba youths in that town went after the fulanis but they knew before hand what would happen to their a s s and sought protection from the northerner polioce commissioner.

The youths were warned against disturbing peace. That was niothing but fighting and robbery.

Igbo did not let loose, they came on line and talked bad and harrassed yorubas here and called s all kind names


Fast forward to now.

Fulani killed your ppl, r a p e your women. . . Fulani put in blokos and pour in seed for igbo t o t o,

And all you do is protest on the road. Wetin u dey look for on tyhe road?


Chineke makpo gini! Onwu oyi ara!

Na ara go fire your a s s!


Proud igbo or wetin u call yourself, if I hear u say one more word, . . Na me and u tonight!

What!!! Wey una Biafra? Go wake Okukwu up, tell am bring in bia-bia come tell these yeye imo boys how to fight.


Hold on, let me go read some more. I be back.

Oh, nobody go sleep for hia tonight, I go harass una all night long.

Kedu kondu, chineke maka pogi!

Can someone tell me. . .
What happened to the 2 ppl and the women?

I hear somebody talk hin go hunt down fulani. Wetin happen?

Agaba,

I'm seeing this for the first time.

How long since you had the post out? Why didn't you email me? You know I would have jumped at it.

How many more peiople do you need?

Ileke,

You should be "Boko en Vogue"


Hey Alj, Ileke want know if u be Hausaman or Yoruba

Ileke,

You self, your own pass boko. I no kuku sabi wetin u talk. Don't bother to translate it.

Ileke,

Who is mixed? Me or Alj?

Lol! Which kind thing be dis wey u want go on rampage and begin slaughter people.

Go kill Boko, not Hausas. If Hausa sympathise with Boko, then of course you can wipe him out np!

Na lie, wetin una go do? In an explosion everyone is in state of panic, perppetrator, if still alive, has merged into panicked crowd and dissapeared.

Only retaliation is to take battle to Boko base but if government knew where it is they would already be wiped out.

Please don't touch innocent Hausas unless they in fact show support for the carnage.

Its hard telling genders on my phone, beside names the gender flag "m", "f" is not visible.

I made the decision someimte ago not to access forums on laptop.

Anyway, sorry about that. Beer stands! Heineken!! Lol.

Eze,

Learn how to use "keyword" for online searches.

Saudi Arabia and Yoruba is not properly filtered to produce objective results for your fact-finding adventure.


Ngo,

You brute, go and see Chinenye and tell her I sent you to learn how to talk to people.

Abagworo:
@odumchi,The Aros are descended from three groups of Igbo,Ibibio and Akpa.That is the case for most Igbos and other Nigerian ethnic groups.We are all mix of people but linguistically dominant in one and recessive in the others.That is what makes the OPs question a difficult one.


SPeak to Aro issue. What do you mean other ethnic grps?

Ok, like who?

ROFLMAO

Kobo, exactly!
