... From a locked duplicate thread:

Jakumo: If marijuana cultivation is simply legalized in Nigeria, as has been done in many states in the USA, enormous revenue will accrue to government coffers, if the harvest is taxed just as is being done in California, Oregon and Wahington states right now.

Former American President Bill Clinton, and current President Barak Obama, both smoked marijuana COPIOUSLY in their youth, before rising to the pinnacle of political power as two of America's greatest leaders.

Obviously there has been a lot of mis-information about weed, but the fact remains that there has never been ONE single human death that has been attributed to marijuana overdose, throughout recorded history. The same cannot be said for alcohol, which annaully kills THOUSANDS of drinkers worldwide from liver cirrosis, overdose toxicity and a host of other medcial consequences incurred by excessive consumption of alcohol.

Legalize it, yeah, and tax it.

zameen: What of its effect on the brain, the psychotic illnesses result from the use of Marijuana?

Jakumo: It is true studies do prove that marijuana OR ALCOHOL useage could have negative consequences for individuals already prone to mental illness, Zameen, but for every unstable person who was pushed over the edge from smoking weed, there are just thousands of alcohol addicts who succumbed to liver cirrosis or alcohol poisoning, innocent family members killed as collateral damage in car wrecks caused by drunk drivers, and numerous victims of violent acts carried out by drunk people.

The negative medical consequences that exist for users of marijuana pale in comparison to the MASS DEATH caused YEARLY by alcoholics drinking themselves to death slowly or quickly, while also killing others through felony aggression or traffic accidents, while drunk. Conversely in North America and Europe today, medical patients suffering from myriad ailments ranging from cancer and diabetes to arthritis owe their very lives to the LEGALLY prescribed marijuana that they consume to alleviate otherwise overpowering symptoms of their conditions.

Show me one person on planet Earth who can produce a medical doctor's prescription card for whisky, wine or gin, and I will show you a liar, or at best a forger with a sense of humor. On the other side of the coin, medically prescribed marijuana today keeps alive tens of thousands of Americans, such that industrialized cultivation of the crop now generates multi-million dollar fortunes from which state governments reap huge tax dividends.

If there is a need to ban another widely used poison, as the price of legalizing marijuana, then let CIGARETTES and ALL nicotine-containing substances be outlawed, with TEN YEARS HARD LABOR for any person found smoking a cigarette in public. Yes sir. Ban the sale, possession and growing of tobbacco, and the world will be a FAR healthier place than it is now. Unike alcohol that can have token health benefits in MODERATE does, the medical or medicinal benefits of cigarettes are absolutely ZERO, and any society that declares tobacco use ILLEGAL would save billions of dollars in health-care costs, by eliminating that major killer of cigarette addicts worldwide.

Legalize it Johnny B. Goode, and let dem taaaax it
Legalize it, Yeaaah, we know Johnny-mon like it.

Legalize it Johniee, so Patience she don't need to hide it.
Legalize it Yeaaah, and ban that Babylon nicotine.

Jakumo: When the cultivation of medicinal marijuana is legalized in Nigeria, a good many of the finger-pointers today heaping scorn on South West Nigeria will join the stampede of emergency farmers seeking arable land in Yoruba land, in the hopes of exploting the lucrative market in Ekiti Golden Bud, Ondo Haze, Abeokuta Train-Wreck, Lagos Lobotomy, Shomolu Super Skunk, Ajegunle Amnesia, and other soon-to-be legendary brand names of connoisseur-grade marijuana.

In the meantime, watch out for the folks who are most vocal in their condemnation of marijuana as a medicinal or recreational drug, for a good many of them do secretly fire up that wild-wood-weed the minute the coast is clear, even as they chastise other users in public discussions. Y'all ain't foolin' nobody ha ha ha.

Picture: WTF? Arsenal boss buying bread instead of players!!

Arsene Wenger’s bid of £1.33 for a bread roll has been turned down by a local bakery in north London. The bakery is firm on demanding £1.50. Another bid from the Gunners’ boss is expected very soon.

4 Play: I'm surprised Eziachi is a mature man as I used to presume that the tribal warriors on here are bored and idle teenagers or duogenerians. Get well soon and hope to see you back championing more worthy causes than ethnic division.

berem: I can prove to you that 80 percent of tribal warlords on this forum are family men with grown up kids. abi make i mention names?

I dont put Eziachi in my list of tribalists. He defends the interests of Ndigbos and sometimes say it as it is, in a way other Igbos dont even like, but I have not seen him insult other ethnics.

My thoughts and prayers are with you Maxi Eziachi and Payless/Sincerenigerian.

I pray that the Gracious Lord will grant you the inner strength and peace to get over this immediate challenges.

This too shall pass.

ACM10: I have no qualms with any decision of the site owners, afterall, it's their site. But I get concerned when some mods acts in a rogue fashion by hiding comments that did not break any of the site rules. Thereby failing to abide by their own rules. Maybe, Seun should simply tell us that some mods are empowered to set rules based on their emotion.

Send your unsolicited NL business advice, concern and analysis directly to Seun and Mukina. And if you so want to discuss it openly, open a thread in business or Nairaland/General section. This is politics section.

Thanks.

[quote author=ndu_chucks]Dear Mods,

Please point out the rule violation in my hidden post on the Lagos deportation thread

https://www.nairaland.com/1371505/lagos-dumps-beggars-homeless-onitsha

I simply used symbolism to express an opinion and do not believe that posting a gif of 2 giraffes is offensive in anyway. Please unhide the post or tell me why you hid it. We don't want to go down the path of frivolous censorship. If you hid it because of my spelling of Yoruba as Yoo'ba, I'll be glad to make appropriate adjustment.[/quote]Your post with gif was offtopic. Am sure you know it.

The thread is not Yoruba Vs Igbo fight.

the thing pained Liverpool owner no be small, his tweet after the bid:

lol... what breach?

The info has been in the news long before Wenger's bid of 40m+1

Blame Suarez and his agent.

Tolexander: OAM4J!

Why did you hide my post in this thread?

Please dont post that picture again. it's disgusting and against the rules (Rule 5)

Thanks.

Very many hot topics have resulted in the opening of multiple threads on the same topic. You guys do a good job of locking the duplicate threads and leaving just one thread open. May I suggest that when you lock such threads, try to quote the posts in the locked threads and paste them in the unlocked threaad?

I think this will add value, all the way around. This is only a suggestion, act on it as you see fit.

Dalu o.[/quote]Sure will add value.

Its more works and can be very tedious especially where the posts in the locked threads are many.

But a very good suggestion. We will look into it.
