₦airaland Forum

EVarn:
The comments so far shows how ignorant many Nigerians are. Some are talking trash about buying weapons from "ordinary islamic" Pakistan, while others are blabbing about bombing Israel. Religious bigotry and hate is now so common that it pervades every national issue. One would expect sane people to be more concerned about the efficiency of the JF-17 (which is a 70% Chinese plane by the way) instead of the country of origin.


Whether the jets are from Muslim Pakistan or Buddhist China or Christian Russia or Jewish Israel, what matters most is the technical capabilities.

The JF-17 is a good warplane, far better in terms of aerial superiority than the fan-nose crop dusters we purchased for an over bloated price from the US.

It's really painful reading the sort of comments that litter this forum these days. You could open a thread and even on page 4, you're yet to count up to 3 meaningful posts; the comments are just a reflection Nigeria's pathetic educational system.

All hail Biafra

Meanwhile na person papa dey do this thing oo..

buhariguy:
also 69 projects in SE alone.
But Pdp received $1.1tr in 16yrs and borrowed 11tr naira without a single project.

In Nigeria, number of projects awarded truly means nothing. What matters is the number of projects executed.

Nbote:
I jus showed u a link to d website of d contractor showing dis same bridge U claim was jus completed and commissioned. Dat link was as at 2012. U can kip fooling urselves and shifting goal posts wen presented with facts

Interesting arguments going on on this thread; if only we can keep insults away... You know there's no single major road in Nigeria whose contract has not been awarded in the past; Onitsha Enugu, PH Enugu, East West road, Benin Lagos, Lokoja Abuja, Abuja Kaduna, Kaduna Kano etc etc. Contracts to fix these roads have been awarded by every single administration since IBB till date.

So with that in mind, any Nigerian already knows that just awarding a contract means absolutely nothing. Can you provide any evidence whatsoever to prove that any actual work of significance was done on these roads under those 2006 and 2012 contract awards?

Pearlyakin:
How can over 100 million people under 40 be looking to a 72-year-old to rescue us from an 82-year-old? Isn't that just non-compos mentis? They chant Atikulated! Atikulated! Isn't that how they all chanted Sai Buhari! Sai Buhari! almost 4years ago? Look where all that chants and foolishness has brought all of us, yet Nigerians still haven't learnt from their mistakes or read the handwriting on the wall.

How can a person who writes in such good English not be able to read the English title of a thread before proceeding to post his comment?

How's this comment relevant to the topic?

Kanu is a british citizen, the British authorities will always grant him his travel documents (for free) whenever he reaches out.

Funny how some ipobites actually think it would take israel to force britian to grant their own citizen his papers. Kaii! ipob brains though, we're in for another long episode of ignorance dancing on steroids. Time to go subscribe to radio biafra facebook page again, the comments from the people there cures high BP

I need to go get my glasses...

Why is it almost impossible for roads to be completed and 'marked' in Nigeria?

Tell me, one Nigeria politicians u are defending then I will shoe that Nnamdi is far better than him. For Atiku, that one is d worse case. Even self, him and Buhari should be competing who is most incompetent and embezzler's .

Who said anything about defending anybody?.... You're the one struggling to defend someone here.

But on a serious note, measures should be taken (and enforced) to prevent indiscriminate movement of cattle through sensitive locations. As a protective measure also, I see no reason why a responsible leadership cannot place fences around airport runways and train tracks to prevent potential catastrophe.

Some 10 years ago, an aircraft slammed into a herd of cattle which invaded the runway at PHC International; luckily it was a very large plane so the effect wasn't catastrophic on the plane. We keep getting cases of herd of cattle invading roads, schools, stadiums etc. and posing serious safety concerns. Of course it's until the family members of some paramount ruler is killed in one of these avoidable traps, that's when the authorities would take action.

Kaii... Some Nigerians can really be painfully dumb.

Kahujadekadura:
.
Not even up to 50 names died in kaduna are too much for buhari to mention
Not up to 100 names killed by Fulani are too much for Buhari to accept tagy they were killed by Fulani talk less of calling their names.
Not up to 2 human right personnel killed by Boko Haram are too much for buhari to make an open peace in their memory.
You are a big fool for not knowing d fault of ur master but went to higher extent far as isreal to find another person fault

The same buhari who is being derided as a dullard everyday is now the same person you now desperately hang on to as your yardstick to measure your Kanu's intelligence? Wonderful!

Ah ah! Was Jack the dog actually a dog?...

When I originally read that, I assumed Jack was somone like a personal bodyguard.

purem:
Are you Father intelligence

Lol...

omolorlarh:
God bless you

Thanks...

Lexusgs430:
He mentioned closing eyes and connection, inducing the falls ......

Yeah the keypoint of what I said was that the person has to be deeply focused on the prayer itself. Eyes being open or closed isnt of much significance.

Lexusgs430:
What about those praying, with eyes open ....... Why do they also fall ?

Connecting or focusing in prayer isnt applicable to only closing your eyes.

Orevastar5:
But with demons in some one
He/she must bow to our lord

Shikina
Don't let God get annoyed with you

The madman with several demons in the bible knelt before he christ

I didnt say those with demons wouldnt or cannot fall; rather I said for those who fall, it dont necessarily mean they have demons.

bettercreature:
Wonders, as they say, shall never end in Nigeria. I am so ashamed of myself. So much so that I feel like disappearing from the surface of the earth upon watching the video of the “almighty Nnamdi Kanu” of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) praying in Jerusalem for misleading our people and absconding with his ill-gotten wealth. These are indeed lessons to be learned when we wipe up unnecessary sentiments in the polity. And also a reminder to us as a people that we should take our time to study the motives and actions of individuals masquerading themselves as religious and ethnic champions.

The Nnamdi Kanu’s case was quite an unfortunate episode when one realized how he deceived many people into believing he is the messiah they have been waiting for. He became a nuisance, and he is still one, and he gave out himself, not only as an ethnic champion, but he also arrogated himself a spiritual role in the lives of some members of the unsuspecting public.

In truth, I was one of those that fell for his gimmick. I recall that I rose stoutly in his defense when it was speculated that he had either been killed or whisked away by the Nigeria Army when it launched Operation Python Dance to curtail the excesses of armed groups and other vices in South East Nigeria. But little did I know that the so-called progenitor of the now proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) had perfected plans and indeed fled the country. So many questions are begging for answers in my head. And one of them is why he choose the dishonorable path of running away and leaving the people he was leading to their fate?

I am also hurt that his cowardly act left our people in sorrow and pains. He used them to enrich himself and family, and when the time came for him to stand for his people, he fled. What a shame. At this point, it would suffice to state that I indeed owe the Chief of Army Staff, and by extension the Nigeria Army an unreserved apology for my unwarranted and unverified vent of ignorance when it was speculated that Nnamdi Kanu had been whisked away. I also believe that other social commentators that also fell victim of Nnamdi Kanu gimmick and labeled the Nigeria Army in derogatory terms should also tender their unreserved apologies. Why this is necessary, you might want to ask.

It is essential because once upon a time, a certain man named Nnamdi Kanu instigated a national crisis that threatened the continued existence of Nigeria. He allegedly sought and received financial gratification from individuals, groups, and even countries that were against the progress of Nigeria. And only for him to flee. And that in itself caused a national crisis when various groups started a campaign of defamation against the Nigerian Army.I recall that the President General of Afaraukwu, his autonomous community, Chief Ikechukwu Nwabueze, revealed the community’s resolve to sue the Federal Government if they fail to produce their son, Nnamdi Kanu. If this is not the height of deceit and mischief, I do not know what to call it. I do hope he is ready to pay any sum that will be required by the Federal Government as compensation for blackmail.
It didn’t end there, a team of IPOB lawyers, led by Mr. Ifeanyi Ejiofor, filed a suit before the Federal High Court in Abuja praying for an order directing the Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai, to produce Kanu in court. Because, Kanu was last seen after soldiers invaded the IPOB leaders house in Afara-ukwu Ibeku, Umuahia Abia State, “on a murderous raid, where life and mortar bullets were fired on an unarmed and defenseless populace, leaving 28 persons dead and abducting many”. If this is not the height of deceit, then what else is it?

Also worrisome was the fact that the hypocrisy of IPOB was taken too far and it came with consequences, such that would affect the sincerity of purpose on the people of the South East in the marginalization debate in the future.I say this because even with the knowledge of the promoters of IPOB that their leader had fled, they still went ahead to issue a statement indicating that the federal government may have killed Nnamdi Kanu. The statement at the time read that “IPOB and its leadership worldwide under the command and leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu wish to bring to the notice of the whole world that the whereabouts of our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and parents are still unknown to humanity since the attack in his compound last week. IPOB have been searching for our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and parents nowhere to be found since last week; we are challenging the Nigerian army and police to produce our leader Mazi Nnamdi since it is a prerogative right for him to make statement inform his confidants and teeming members all over the world about his condition.” This was the height of hypocrisy

I now wonder what the next line of action would be for IPOB and its promoters since their leader had resurfaced in Jerusalem instead of one of the detention camps of the Nigeria Army. Would they bury their heads in shame? Would they issue an unreserved apology to their unsuspecting followers whom they had deceived into believing in a cause that had turned out to be a scam? All of these are questions that must be answered if we are sincere with our selves.

Those that also stood as surety for him also lied under oath that the Nigerian Army had Nnamdi Kanu in its custody. They have committed perjury, and the law must take its cause in my opinion. There is also a new dimension to the whole saga with the fact that he was sighted in Israel after committing crimes against the state in Nigeria. What does that tell us? Does it explain the claims by regional neighbors that Israel trains, arms, and backs terrorists? This is a topic for another day.

With the unfolding drama, it is now evident that the agitation by IPOB was just a smokescreen to exploit his people. There was no iota of truth in all of his public posturing other than the fact that he saw an avenue to enrich himself and he took advantage of it. I am sure those South East leaders and elders under the umbrella of Ohaneze Ndigbo, that fell victim for his gimmick would be hiding their faces as it stands. But even as they do that, I think they should apologize to the Nigerian government, the Chief of Army Staff, and the Nigeria Army for the ignorant campaign of calumny it launched.

It's actually possible that he was captured by the Army, taken to the borders, released and asked to never come back to the country (else he would be shot at next time). Time would tell the real story.

Orevastar5:
Some people are just stupid
You're saying the pastors are stage managing the falls because you've never fallen under the annointing
While you're so daft to know that these people that fall under the anointing have one spiritual problem or the other
You're not falling only mean two things
It's either you're not having any demon in you
Or
God don't want to deliver you yet because you're always on threads like this doubting his works

Falling has nothing to do with 'having demons' like you claim.

BigBros147:
now this has always made me wonder, or are they immune to the anointing?

Lexusgs430:
It's either they are immune or spiritual magic is happening.......

You take a guess........

A pre-requisite for people falling under the anointing is that they MUST be focused on and emotionally and spiritually connected to the prayers. The bulk of it depends on the emotional state of the person, and only little is attributable to the pastor laying the hands.

That explains why cameramen or ushers or instrumentalists do not fall; they are focused on their instruments and not even joining in the prayers, so they typically wouldn't be in the same emotional state as the other person who's fervently praying with their eyes closed.

Even your common hypnotists on the streets (e.g. one chance 419 operators), a pre-requisite for their hypnotism to work on their victims is that the victim MUST be 'interested' in the deals they're offering; and with that interest comes focus - that's when their hypnotism works. If the victim isnt focusing on their discussions, their trick never works.

And for the final question why it's majorly women falling. That's simple, women get emotional and hysterical more easily.

kanubiafra:
oh so now you know he is not a terrorist? cos he is now in israel ? but you have been calling him terrorist since last year. it remains for you to call israel terrorist state

It's sad responding to dumb comments like this, but I would make an exception by giving you an open book assignment now. Prove your soundness by kindly pointing out where Obailala ever called anyone a terrorist?

But wait oo... Could it be that the so called malpractice/forgery case against Adeleke is the discrepancy in his date of birth?... Is that what the police is taking a person to court for?

Pekele007:
British passport of someone who was declared a terrorist by Nigerian government


If it's possible to restore the passport, why then did FG waste their time to cease it?

What kind of comment is this?

Nigerian government declaring him a terrorist was political, it meant NOTHING to even people within Nigeria, let alone people outside. How would anyone not know this?

sean1000x:
Proof That Nigerian Government Was Holding Nnamdi Kanu and Released Him Overseas. Simple: what document did he use to enter Israel legally? If the said traveling document was tendered to the court as part of the bail conditions in 2017, in other words, the Nigerian government is in possession of all passports and traveling documents belonging to Nnamdi Kanu.

Kanu has a british passport. Even if his Nigerian and British passports are seized by Nigerian authorities, all he needs do is to step into Benin republic and locate a British embassy; and his british passport would be restored.

abc115:

This guy apperance has already divided loyalty to PDP/Atiku ticket
Do you see any atikulating today, after the news broke?

You really think Kanu's millions of followers really care about Kanu or his cause?... The real bone of contention has always been 'Buhari being president' and those milli9ns of followers would happily vote PDP if that would mean taking away the 'enemy'.

Bad guy!

izzou:
This is political to you?

I applaud Buhari for his feat in the railway sector(You can check my posts if you mind). I find this nauseating because if it was done, it would have been flaunted, instead of throwing blames here and there

A government that's transparent is all I crave for.

But yes of course it's political; the only reason why this is a worthy topic of discussion is because it is political. If it was a random person, say an Agric student for instance writing a thesis about rice cultivation in Nigeria and uses the said picture for illustration, if you're his lecturer, you and I know you wouldn't break a single sweat taking notice of it. Or even if you do, you would never penalize your student for something so trivial and meaningless. But of course it's a political matter, that's why it's sweet news to die for.

If Nigeria actually didn't have any rice farms in existence, then one would have been inclined to agree that it's a pure case of deliberate mischievousness on the part of a political group to deceive people. But for crying out loud, even a child knows there are rice farms all over Nigeria which even existed long before the formation of APC.

In summary, the only issue with the picture is that the twitter handler was lazy and failed to take account of the fact that this is a political season when millions of Nigerians are politically/emotionally charged and looking for even the most flimsy straws to grab onto as political point. Or maybe I get you all wrong, are you also suggesting (like a multitude of other 'excited' folks on this thread) that there are actually no rice farms in Nigeria?.. that it's all a lie by government?

donbenie:
Lazy Twitter handler? that is an official mouthpiece of the APC and are therefore accountable for whatever they broadcast to the public and in this episode they were caught with their hands on the Cookie Jar,uploading another Man's ACHIEVEMENTS and claiming it as your own is nothing but MISCHIEVOUS and MISLEADING..

Okay, noted. He's mischievous! He uploaded a picture from india because rice farms don't exist in Nigeria.

donbenie:
So claiming you have a beautiful CAR and then uploading someone else's beautiful CAR in the internet as your very own is all well and good in your eyes,abi?

I rest my case abeg. Apc goofed with the picture choice.

In the last one or two months, there's been several frontpage threads simply showing a picture of either FFK or his wife or his wife and kids or just his new kids, or his older kids. Are any of the Nairaland MoDs related to these people?

izombie:
like really! Do you even listen to yourself? I guess you are an adult right? You must be defending this on purpose. You know apc goofed but you'll defend them because thats what you have decided to do even if you know dem dey f****k up. So there is no need trying to reason with you cus you already know.

Okay sorry.. The person handling the account goofed, ApC goofed by using a non nigerian picture.
