Keep quiet there.... What do u knw abt student unionism... Pple like u obviously graduated from all those glorified secondary schools now called private universities.

I'm not gonna argue with you sir.. But I understand student unionism and I know it doesn't include assaulting a Professor..

Fynestboi:
@quoted I agree, but I believe the length is far to much.

I don't know about your school. but on my first day as an undergraduate, i was given a handbook on the school rules and the consequences of some offence..

I'm sure your school has a similar handbook.. And If you consult this handbook, you'll realize that anything short of rustication is actually a lenient penalty

Fynestboi:
Am not sir, only feeling pity for them, they have just two months away from graduating.

They should have thought of that before using the SU as a tool for exercising power rather than a negotiating/mediating body that it is.

I pity him too considering that he's studying the Same course I studied..

But then, His government assaulted a professor.. someone old enough to be their fathers.. They do not deserve to be awarded a certificate of excellence in character and in learning..

Maybe the suspension will help them remember what respect is

Fynestboi:
Hmmmmmm mm mm

Fynestboi.. The way you are always animated in issues concerning OAU SU scares me..

Don't let it consume you..

bekpo:
The purpose of Student unionism is for d welfairism of Nigerian students and ensuring a good and proper accedemic environment for accedemic excellence. In atticulating for these,it must b approached by most legitimate and peacefull manner.
However,dipplomacy should always b potent weapon for d strugle. University management should not b instrument and instrument of frustration n they should not c d jNigerian students union as a threat. It's only d criminal minded will b afraid. I therefore call on d management of OAU to reinstate these union leaders wid imediate effect. Should d management fail and or neglect to reinstate these students,i shall mobilise d Nigerian students in protest to d federal government and invite d relevant agencies to investigate d activities of d management. Aluta aceta, victoria aceta.

And who the _fuck are you?

Talking about mobilization like you own all the students in the federation..

SMH.. SUGs and their grandiose perception of themselves

Fynestboi:
The president said


. I will also for the purpose of the records say that I AM BEEN SUSPENDED FOR ASSAULTING A PROFESSOR I HAVE NEVER SET MY EYES ON UNTIL THE DAY WE MEET AT THE PANEL that recommended the suspension where I was courteous to him like everybody providence gives me the privilege of meeting on earth.

This is a typical Fallacy of Argumentum ad misericordiam..

Did SU under his leadership assault a professor? That's the question..

If Yes.. He deserves the suspension

dominique:
The exact reason for the suspension is not stated in the post. We know how strongheaded these student union people can be. Most times they forget that they're answerable to the school authorities. Hope they won't go destroying structures o.It's better they appeal the suspension and reach an agreement.

The SU under his leadership assulted a professor.

topfally75:
u're d one who is wrong here, the money in question is d bond between d surety nd d state/FGN. Is a sort of contract failure to produce d accused person(s) at anytime den u av to fullfil ur part of d contract, this money is not paid until an accused person(s) jumped bail and d surety cant produce him in court. A process wil now be filed in court "to show cause" and tell d court y he will not forfit d said amount on his failure to produce d accused person(s). D surety/accused person(s) can only pay d said amount if d ruling on bail expressly stated it. All is at d discrection of d court.

This makes sense

TonyeBarcanista will still come and argue this...

SMH

The greatest monuments to fallen men are not made in marble. They're deep in the sea, deep in the jungles,.on foreign battlefields, a rifle driven into the ground with a helmet on top and some tags. And that is the tribute these men have earned.

God bless the Nigerian Armed Forces

TonyeBarcanista:
I don't get your point. You can't charge Dasuki for looting the whole $2.2billion except you can establish that he on his own diverted the entire money.However, there are people involved that will share part in the prosecution. Also be aware that the FG is charging Sambo in bits.

Secondly, if neither Sambo Dasuki nor the Director of finance denied the $2.2billion, what exactly are you harping your argument on?

Thirdly, the investigators has said they have documents, this the people in the center didn't dispute. I don't know why again you are disputing.

Fouthly, Dokpesi has already been charged to court, he's on bail. He will explain to the judge. Bail is not freedom

Fifthly, there is nothing like media trial. I am not aware of any. The media only report events.

The emboldened doesn't make sense. You can sue dasuki for misappropriating all of the $2.1 billion dollars.

Omotolu:
...Southern Ijaw LG has the highest voters in Bayelsa State....

Yenegoa has a voter population of 139k voters, Southern Ijaw has 120k

Omotolu:
...Southern Ijaw LG has the largest populace in Bayelsa State. It does not matter who wins the remaining LGs. Southern Ijaw LG is more than 50% of all votes casted. It's not about who wins the highest number of LGs.

Yenegoa has a bigger voter population than southern Ijaw!!!

ShowYourCertificate:
Exactly! I'm glad there are people like you on this forum. All these APC sycophants seem to have lost their sense of reasoning.

Soldiers don't necessarily respect their superiors because they want to or because the Superior in question deserves it, they respect them because it's the law. And if they don't, they will pay dearly for it.

Taking away this law is an invitation to insubordination and chaos

Bevista:
Don't get me wrong man. There is no justification for insubordination or indiscipline in the military. My point is that Nigeria is a Savage country where the high & mighty get away with their evil deeds but lesser mortals face the full weight of the law.

You talk about playing with fire in the name of politics. Is that not what we have been doing since time immemorial? Can't you see that the #Dasuki-Gate already has loads of political arguments?

I get your point..

When I said "playing with fire in the name of politics" , I was talking about reinstating these men.

Their colleagues will never accept them completely. In another news article, these 3000 men complained of being labeled cowards by their erstwhile colleagues.

What exactly is the point of reinstating them? To cause disaffection among the fighting forces? Passing subtle message that mutiny can be tolerated?

And considering that the ratio of officers to men in the Nigerian Army is in the region of 1:20, you'll understand how dangerous such message is if heeded.

jeak123:
@Obayaya, you and your ilk who doesn't know what the army is, should pls shut up! Do you think what is happening in Maiduguri is video game? It is a matter of life and death. A conventional military doesn't send its men to go and die but to fight and survive. But what of when you are being sent out to die so that your little pittance can be converted. What is happening is beyond the comprehension of the ordinary man in the street.

Sir, I do not think what is happening in maiduguri is video game. I also believe that there's a reason mutiny isn't tolerated in the Armed Forces. I'm of the opinion that the Army should stick to their code of military justice. Instead of letting politics put them in a difficult situation such as this.

The facts remains that these 3000 men can never be fully accepted like comrades by their colleagues. So what's the point of trying to reintegrate them and end up distracting and messing up the mood of your entire fighting force.

This is a distraction the military doesn't need right now.

Bevista:
Nigeria is the only country in the world that will send her soldiers to the war front without the right arms and without adequate welfare.
---
The only country in the world where the president, NSA and Service Chiefs will collude to divert State budget meant for arms purchases.

So that is enough reason for soldiers sworn to obey their commanding officer to commit mutiny?

So all these is the justification for reinstating soldiers charged with mutiny?

Now they are defying the Army authorities.

You guys are playing with fire in the name of politics.

Other soldiers are watching and learning..

Nigeria is the only country in the world where soldiers that attempted mutiny are reintegrated into the Army..

Goodluck trying to enforce discipline..

Obiagelli:
I came across this hashtag and i was like what is going on here?
Looks like the usual suspects or their copycats are back again, it is barely a year into the present administration and we are marching and printing t-shirts for what exactly?
There's massive work to be done and this administration has not even gotten into 5% of it and we are marching?
We should be careful not to create an all is well impression to this administration, our job is to put them on their toes, we should not tolerate mistakes, incompetence or outright impunity (the presidential BMWs).

Are we going back to the days of TAN ambassadors, Fresh air crew, bringbackourgej or the 9 million March for Abacha.

We appreciate the good work the government is doing but going on a march is pure sycophancy.

IT 2016 NIGERIANS, RECEIVE SENSE.

Oby... You know I love you right?

Prof. Sagay is just blabbing to please his paymasters..

South East was rigged for PDP? That's the height of it.. when Abia gave PDP less than 400k votes despite voter population of 1.3 m

Anambra gave PDP 600k votes despite voter population of 1.9 m

Enugu gave PDP 500k votes despite voter population of 1.3 m

Ebonyi gave PDP 300k votes despite voter population of 1 m

Imo gave PDP 500k votes despite voter population of 1.7 m.

Does this look like rigged figures?

Prof. Sagay has affirmed John W. Gardner's statement that "The society which scorns excellence in plumbing as a humble activity and tolerates shoddiness in philosophy because it is an exalted activity will have neither good plumbing nor good philosophy: neither its pipes nor its theories will hold water."

Nigeria is such a society Gardner was talking about.. and Sagay is one of the shoddy philosophers.

Mavelshee:
It was on a sunday afternoon during this xmas holiday. My wife and I decided get a little kinky because honestly we havnt had some good actions for a really long time. So my wife asked Martha our nanny to take the kids to our neighbours house upstairs for some play time and bring them back by 6pm. Kpa kpa kpa kpa kpa we don comot cloth, kpo kpo kpo kpo kpo kpo we don start pre-intimacy, and that was when it happened oo....Our 10yrs old son just opened the door "mum can I have some....." and saw his mum leaning on the edge of the bed crying and his dad eating his mums buttoks. Lo and behold this little dude just paused and thereafter there was a big grin + disgust on his face. My wife hasn't stopped crying oo, mostly because she thinks this kind of scenerio can eff up kids chemistry n stuffs. Plus he now looks at me somehow whenever we are together. I hope he doesn't tell the others what he saw.

So please nairalanders how can I explain or brainwash my kid about what he saw that day.

He's 10.. He is probably in secondary school now.. Jss1 or 2. He isn't completely ignorant of what sex is..

All you have to do now is explain things to him properly with particular emphasis on the right time.

goodluck

okwadatigbogal:
That was what the poster made it look like! he made it seem like igbos all come from NRi, which is a big fallacy. Also, this your statement 'Even People as far as AroChukwu despite how powerful they were sought out Nri in spiritual matters', is a BIG fallacy. The ancient AROS were untouchable and they didnt need any spiritual assistance from nowhere. ARO kingdom was the last in the entire South-east(AND I think PRESENT DAY nigeria) to fall to the BRITISH COLONY. it was hard for the british to penetrate due to our popular god 'Ibinu Ukpabi'(popularly known as long juju), which offered superior protection to AROS. We are the only people in Nigeria that have a serious war with the British and they were never fully able to conquer the 'Long Juju' of the Aros. Alot of British wrote books on this and even films and documentaries were made. Read about the 'ANGLO-ARO' war. So coming to NRI for spiritual matters is NOT true.

I think You're letting the "_dick measuring contest" MO of propagating the greatness of a community in their history deceive you..

No Igbo community lived as an independent community.. They always seek help of other communities if need be. And in spiritual matters, Nri was always the last port of call.

Aro Confederacy is the most popular of all Igbo communities. Not because they are the most powerful military wise or spiritual wise but because their story is one of the very few stories about Igbo history that was recorded.

Ibini Ukpabi shrine was like a spiritual supreme Court of the Aros.. Each community had theirs too.. But in certain dire situations, they seek external help.. and the Aros were not an exception

spiritfada:
And who is the first son of Eri? Nri right? I guess u ve been fed with illicit piece of fiction

According to the Mythology.. Eri settlement in NRI. Nri was his home.. If you didn't know that fundamental part of Nri mythology, i wonder what you know

spiritfada:
The same Eze Nri that came to Aguleri for his confirmation as a king? smh

We call this cheap propaganda, Go and ask d so called Eze Nri, he knows the truth!

Agulueri was founded by the First son of Eri, the progenitor of the Igbos according to the Nri Mythology. So Agulueri is like Diokpa of Nri.

And in Igbo tradition, you can't do anything without the approval of the Diokpa..

I think we Igbos need to study our traditions not the selfish utterances of present day kings who readily distort tradition and history for personal gains

Bigmarx:
Infact when my dad told me our full history I discovered we were from Ijaw and migrated to present day Imo state. He also told me that so many Igbo communities especially from Imo and Abia migrated from rivers and some from Congo. For instance some okrika people live presently in Imo and bears umuokrika.......so the igbos do not hve once source. Basically Igbos were migrants and settlers!

Nobody is saying Igbos have one source.. But Nri is the source of many communities in the present day Anambra state. What secured Nri's place in the history and mythology of the Igbos is the spirituality. While other communities fought wars to remain relevant, Nri created a perception of being the spiritual Centre of Igbos. Hence they remained relevant and was a rallying point in matters of spirituality.

You'll hear phrases like Aka Nri - the dwarfs of Nri. The only people permitted to cut down a someone that committed suicide (Ikwu udo). Even People as far as AroChukwu despite how powerful they were sought out Nri in spiritual matters.

The problem with Igbo history is the fact that there was never a far reaching Igbo empire like the Oyo, Kanem borno, Benin Empires.. So basically, the history, culture and ways of the small small Igbo hamlet weren't found worthy of being documented by the Europeans.

But the truth remains that no Igbo community had the kinda clout and position in history like NRI.

niggi4life:
[b]there was this our neighbor's daughter whom I had madt crush for, I had sent my little cousin to her with several love letters for us to date..then she came to my place one day to visit me, mum was in the palor so I waited till she went outside then I smuggled the girl to my bedroom...she was 14 and I was 16... Somehow we started losing then I took off all her clothes, I was so engrossed in the smooching that I didn't realise the door was wide open.... I started all the pre-intimacy that I have watched Mr Marcus and Bros Lexington Steel used to do.... I was about to enter the place when my mum gave me a dirty slap at my back....I almost fainted while d girl covered her tiny breasts and her face.
The sad part was that mum was best friend with her mother and her mum was even in the palor cos my mum went to pay her a visit and she escorted my mum back.
When d girl's mother saw her daughter she almost died .

I couldn't sleep that night till my dad came. And trust naija parents, dem go wake u up around 5am come flog the hell out of your life.

I was grounded for 2 weeks and even when I passed the girl's house I always form making phone calls [/b]

This used to be my Dad's modus operandi..

Speechless3:
No you dont.

Will is like some choice i have to make. It is decisional in nature. While Can is ability, power to do, influence or control a thing. I don't have the latter.

First step towards leaving the path of sin is decisional. The Catechism of the Catholic Church says "Avoid occasions that leads to sin".

Even during sacrament of reconciliation, the priest will never give you absolution until you say act of contrition. Act of Contrition is divided into two parts - 1st is the reassertion of your decision to avoid sin. second part is praying for the grace to help you keep that decision.

The Absolution is the priest invoking the power to forgive sin Christ handed his apostles and grace to help you keep the decision to avoid sin.
Yes the church understands that you can't do it on your own. but you need to make the decision to avoid sin before you are availed of the grace.

You need the former first before the latter is given to you.. And I don't think you have the former.

Speechless3:
I hope you know there is a difference between "will" and "can" dear.

I know the difference..

Being in a state of grace and avoiding sin is a personal decision. And until you make that decision, you'll always remain where you are.. Change in Church notwithstanding.

bxcode:
Wow.... Surprised to see ya quote, longest time.
Bro you misunderstood me, am never an advocate for this church or that church, nor denominational segregation. The path of truth i was referring to is Jesus Christ through the guidance of the holy spirit by reading the bible and If you check my post you will see that I was talking about reading the bible and never mentioned any church as the path of truth bro.
As much as you do, I hate the divisions in the body of Christ today, that's not what God intended for us.
Happy New year!

Well, it's all good.. i understand...

OP has a problem.. and that problem is that she is ignorant of the teachings of the church on sin and she has encouraged herself to tow the path of Sin.

Until she makes a decision to leave that path, she'll always continue that way no matter the number of times she changes church.

Happy New Year brother

bxcode:
She should try Jesus Christ and not philosophy.
Thank God the holy spirit is already leading her to the path of truth.
Op, keep seeking God through his word, you will find him.

And What is the path of truth? So one denomination is the path of truth and the other isn't? What's with these endless divisions in the body of Christ? Christians sha

Ebonyi silently developing at a very fast pace.. With an Impressive IGR.. ranking 9th in the Country and 2nd in the South East
