naptu2: They certainly didn't act like people who deserve respect. We don't all have to agree. People are not robots. Differences of opinion are expected in a democracy. You settle matters by dialogue or at the polling booth, not by violence.

Is this what we should expect at the dialogue? Should we expect to see people throwing chairs and shoes?

He has his opinions. Those who disagree with him should have countered his opinions with superior arguments, rather than getting rowdy and attempting to lynch him.
grin grin
I have always asked this same question to the die-hard proponents of a national dialogue. In the Nigeria we know as it is today, what would be the most likely outcome of a national dialogue??... Will it not eventually end in a brawl??... will a national dialogue build roads or equip schools??... can someone knowledgeable enough in these things please prove me wrong

What we see happening in Edo state is just a tip of the icebeg

vislabraye: Adams Oshiomole should be carefuL. I don't even trust his so called APC.
Nigerians are such strange people... You dont trust APC which hasn't been tested but you trust and prefer the status-quo PDP which has ruined the nation for 14yrs?... Its strange that most Nigerians have embraced the principle of "the devil you know".... a lot of people genuinely want PDP to just rule forever without any change.. I really dont get it undecided undecided...

nebeolis: who can remember this man and his saga is he igbo?who can remember this man and his saga is he igbo?
So in ur own sense of judgement because EFCC could not do anything to Bank-Ole, then every corrupt official of the day should not be prosecuted until all past officials are brought to book??


Maybe u will also suggeest that the police should not jail a single local armed robber who was caught in the act until all other armed robbers in the nation are caught at the same time.

Just like I always say, our leaders know the level of reasoning of their followers, that's why they dont give a damn.

The irony been that those same people were logging to SR almost every minutes during the Yar'dua days in Saudi-Arabia to get the latest updates on his health status....SR was not a lying news medim then.

gbrown: Twice i,ve been embarrassed by ushers, i sat in d front row, i was asked to leave cos the seats were reserved for very special people,
the second one happened to me in kano, cos of boko haram, security has been stepped up in most churches, one Sunday morning i dressed up and went to church, the overzealous usher allowed those he recognized to walk in without searching, from a distance he beamed his search on me, he asked me all manner of questions,ordered me to empty my pockets, when i was in d process of bringing out my organiser he stepped back as if i was bringing out a bomb, at this time onlookers had thier eyes focused on me, i really felt embarrassed,i turned back and left, when a pastor asked what was amiss, i overheard a female usher shouting, abeg make he dey go.
grin grin grin

On a serious note, the fear of boko haram bombs is the beginning of wisdom.... if u have ever been close, or maybe even lost someone to boko haram bombs, u will not blame the usher for fearing for his life..

solomon111: Is it the same Ngige that has not contributed any single bill in the senate in the past 2 years.
The same Ngige that could not defend his people during the deportation saga and you expect the same people to trust him to look out for their interest?
You're drunk.
Maybe if you weren't drunk yourself, you would have understood from my post that I wasn't necessarily supporting Ngige. I was simply berating the individuals who swore never to vote Ngige simply on the grounds that he belongs to a 'Yoruba' party; I think that's a very dumb way to place priorities...

If the argument is that he has sponsored no bill in the senate or that he stole the governorship mandate in 2003, that would have been a more sensible ground to reject his candidature.
Politics › Re: A Glance At Anambra Governor Candidates by obailala(m): 5:28pm On Oct 26, 2013
The same Nigerians who claimed to vote Goodluck and not his killer party PDP... Now these same people in their 'wisdom' will not vote a 'tested' Ngige because he is in a 'Yoruba' party.... talk of plainly foolish priorities angry

I may not be sure of the credibility of Ngige or any of the other candidates but it is plain foolish and very annoying when the ONLY argument against Ngige is that he belongs to APC..

If you were in her position, you will do the same thing, so stop acting holier than the Pope
Nobody has an issue with the minister protecting herself.... almost all govt officials in Nigeria today spend excessively on security personnel and bulletproof vehicles... The issue is that the cost of the 2 vehicles were OVERINFLATED. How can u defend that??

ideyvexnow: If all you said was true then what is this obsession about sacking a minister who was only trying to protect her life?
She was simply trying to protect her life and she couldn't use the aviation ministry budget?... she had to strangle the agency in charge of ensuring flight safety to acquire the cars for her?... Finally the cost of the vehicles had to be overinflated to also protect her life right??

Come to think of it, the NCAA boss is even the first person that should be questioned why the cost of the cars were inflated

ketoprofen: Shut up.
Corruption is the middle name of all yorubas.
Tackle it from their angle first.
Aside Adesina, which Yoruba minister did what Stella has done within 3 yrs?
Cowards

I am a sane human being hence I cannot support corruption; especially when it directly affects the safety of my life. I am sure you will not take this same stance if 2 of your siblings lost their lives in the Dana air crash. It is not my business if corruption is the surname of Yoruba as u suggest, every tribe in Nigeria is corrupt. The real issue is the corruption and not the tribe, unfortunately, there are a lot of Nigerian breed insane people like you who see tribe as the problem and not corruption.

Whenever I wake up in the morning and open any aviation ministry thread on nairaland, I usually take solace in the fact that majority of nairalanders who think from their anus (e.g. the ones brazenly defending corruption based on ethnicity or support for GEJ) are actually paid political laptop dogs. If this isn't the case, then I fear for the future of this country. embarassed embarassed cry cry
Politics › Re: BBC Claims Abuja Was Built On Stolen Land by obailala(m): 1:26pm On Oct 19, 2013
Rossikk: Worthless, brain-dead, self-hating Uncle Tom. The British in their 100 years stealing bonanza left you with no infrastructure and just one university. In 100 years. That was why our grandparents were all illiterates. Literacy was at 10% at independence, compared to 75 % today, thanks to indigenous rule. Statistically, if the British were still in charge, we would have two universities today, not 135. And literacy rate would be 15% not 75%. Meaning you would most likely be a hut-dwelling village peasant today, illiterate to the hilt, not a literate but spiteful, overfed self-hater. In the 100 years of British rule, Nigerian export earnings were siphoned to Britain at a rate of over 95%. Which was why Nigeria was nothing but bush at independence, with infant mortality at 259 per 1000 compared to 75 per 1000 today. So think twice before EVER IN YOUR LIFE comparing British grand theft with whatever comparatively PUNY corruption we see today under indigenous rule. Name me one power plant the British built in their 100 years rule? You can't because they built nothing. All they did was import huge generators to power a few choice parts of some cities. No rural area saw a lightbulb till after independence in 1960. They built no national grid. Thank your lucky stars for independence. It was the best thing that ever happened to you, even though you and your ilk are far too dense and stu.pid to realise it.
My ROSSICK or whatever u call yourself... what does all these ur rantings have to do with the fact about the FG not settling the Gwari people??... I thought that was suppose to be the topic of discussion??... all u have dwelt on in this case is that the reporter is from britain and britain is a greater culprit in land grabbing.. ok I understand ur point but will it maybe make u feel any better if the reporter was Portuguese? I'm quite sure if that was the case, u would also abandon the issue at hand and jump into google trying to dig up all the sins of portugal... wake up my friend and stop chasing irrelevant things.. I know u feel u are being a patriot by defending Nigeria but hating the british and accusing them of all our national woes does not change the fact that our govt is bad and we are the real cause of our problems.

Everfrank: BBC cannot change history. We are fully aware how American Indians were exterminated, their land murderously confiscated by Europeans and on that land USA was built. The story is the same in Australia where the Pygmies' land was confiscated for building modern day Australia. We also never forget how Britons killed and took Zimbabwean land( thanks to Robert Mugabe- the only surviving pan African president- for reversing this occupation). The case of Palestinian land and the Israeli occupation, incarceration and brazen disregard for human rights and UN resolutions was/is fully backed by the British. The case of Falkland, Guantanamo bay and other Western overseas military formations that are built on land that cannot be I reclaimed by the owners also abound. Thieves.
So because the British steal people's land, does it then make it right for Nigeria to steal land?? Are you trying to justify the FG taking land without due compensation simply because Britain does it??... or are you just fixated in the fact that the reporter is British and hence has no right to say the truth or judge anyone??... when on Earth will Nigerians learn to focus on the message and forget the character of the messenger??

Wise people accept criticism and improve on themselves while foolish people expend all their resources running after their critics

ROSSIKE: ACTUALLY YOU ARE THE TYPICAL IGNORAMUS. The writer's country, Britain, STOLE THE ENTIRE NIGERIA for 100 years, ROBBING IT BLIND, and he has not said anything, yet you listen when he pontificates about Gwari peoples' land being 'stolen'?

THAT MAKES YOU a DUMB HE-GOAT.

Oh and please do stick your racist, self-hating ''typical black Nigerian'' bigotry up your stinky, slaveboy assshole.
Whether the writer is Lawrence Anini or his country stole the world, I am simply sick and tired of Nigerians always ignoring the message and attacking messengers... Would it have made it any different if it was a Nigerian reporter from NTA that composed the report?...

In this case, I'm less concerned about the personality of the messenger. The real issue that any sensible individual should dwell on is if the Gwari people were duly settled or not as agreed with the government when their land was taken. This is the exact problem we have in the Niger-Delta; an insincere government.

Call me whatever names you want but by all means, you are free to dwell in your deluded world of running after irrelevance.
Politics › Re: Oshiomhole To Jonathan: Forget About National Conference by obailala(m):
I have asked this same question countless times... What is this whole sovereign national conference all about??... it doesn't take much more than common sense to know that an SNC will simply end in a brawl.. and afterwards, a committee will be set-up to review the findings of the SNC committee indefinitely

I think all GEJ needs to do is to arrest and lock up some top shots for corruption and that will automatically instill fear in other leaders... Nigeria simply needs to nip impunity in the bud and everything else will fly on autopilot

Oh yeah... very typical thinking of a typical black Nigerian man; attacking the messenger and not giving a damn about the message.

Probably if it was your father's land that was forcefully taken from you by the government, and u were promised settlement and 35 years later, you haven't received a dime, then you would have been a bit more concerned to think like a wise human should.

I expected this kind of reasoning when I opened this thread so I'm not surprised

idupaul: Taking heed from Master Jesus teachings Dino Melaye whose garage is filled with exotic European machines also gotten from corrupt practices is not "Sinless " enough to cast this first stone against Stella Oduah .. We need someone with clean hands to be the stone thrower.
This is the exact problem with Nigerians... always waiting for someone with 'clean hands' to speak up and cast the first stone but the truth is bitter bro, the ones with clean hands have no voice in Nigeria. Even if they speak, their stories wouldn't even make it to the Nairaland frontpage.

With the complex nature of our society, Nigerians ought to understand that we can only fight fire with fire. For once we need to forget the messenger and concentrate on the message like wise people would do as that is the only choice we have to redemption.

Just like someone mentioned, "if a badly behaved person tips you off that someone is stealing your money, would you ignore him?"... Unfortunately this is what Nigerians are very good at doing, attacking the messenger and ignoring important messages.

May God also in his infinite mercy wash off the log in the eyes of Nigerians to see that the devils that pilot our nation to doom are united in both tribe and religion. Unfortunately, they have planted this very seed of tribalism and religion as a deceptive tool to blind Nigerians from seeing their grand deceit.

That's simply because they are still practicising ...with human lives, sadly! Or how else could anyone explain this?!
Madam are u suggesting that our doctors sit down and wait for NEPA to return power before they save precious lives??... Someone just mentioned a case of a woman in labour and a CS had to be done with a torch; are u suggesting they leave a woman in labour until she bleeds to death while waiting for NEPA to return power??.... I've heard cases of our doctors being pushed to do this even since the 90s

IMO, Nigerian doctors have to be some of the best in the world for being able to work in these hospitals under inhospitable conditions. God help us!

Trust me when I say there is no smoke without fire... In no time you will see how the minister is implicated but unfortunately this is Nigeria so nothing will happen.

The fools that rule us know the people they rule are idiots, so this issue will be buried even before this week runs out... Some elements here on Nairaland are already showcasing their idiotic talents by tribalising and politicizing the issue... From experience in Nigeria, once cases are tribalised, politicised and 'religionised,' they become very delicate and our leaders (especially weak ones) tend to shove them under the carpet quickly.
