Foreign Affairs › Re: Sudan president detained in South Africa pending court order by omenka(m): 3:48pm On Jun 14, 2015
dapachez:
@Omenka, @ Barcanista,@ Temitemi,@ Ibn sultan what is your take on this issue? What are the dire consequencies of this act if South Africva should follow through with this process
I really don't see this falling through. The consequences, as you suspect, would be dire. It would set a bad precedence, creating a very bad blood between both countries which could degenerate into an intractable diplomatic row.

Bashir attended the event with the full assurances of the South African authorities that he enjoys immunity. The president has questions bordering on war crimes to answer, no doubt, but this certainly is going to precipitate events that could stump the alleged war crimes he committed with regards severity if carried out- not to mention the mistrust towards the South Africa such could generate amongst other sister nations.

In addition, there's no gainsaying this would trigger reprisals in Sudan against South African nationals, and if they happen to be many of them resident there, too bad then.

By and large, I don't see this happening.

Op you worry over trivial issues- concerned over kids acting their age and adults acting like kids. smiley

Two advice for you:

1. Ignore them when they throw insults. They always will. Asking them not to is like urging them on.

2. When they pretend to be intelligent and bring up debatable issues, engage them.

Logic and commonsense seems zero. Even the only remaining ammo-insults is being overused hence, has lost its effect. We are appealing to them to evolve.
You are demanding evolution and commonsense from this guy? You may as well order Putin to hand over Crimea back to Ukraine or Natanyahu to kiss the ring on Mahmud Abas' finger. cheesy

A wise man once told me though, the most potent ammo against hate is love. Have resolved to put it to practice, see how true that is. wink

Someone wrote a detailed observation and if you've got problems with it the logical thing to do is refute it line by line with same structure. Throwing tantrums and personal insults only shows how mentally disadvantaged you are. I believe we are all reasonable men on this board and not some outlawz whose mantra is thug till I die.
Honestly, only goes to show how mentally handicap some of us are. Even when you request that they show some logic and commonsense, all you get are more insults. Best they be left to their devices. smiley

Some of these guys are so lazy all they do on the floor is shout "aye" or "nay", read newspapers when proceedings are ongoing, and then receive jumbo salaries and allowee at the end of the day. They don't even sit for more than 200 days out of 365 days yet they receive 365 days pay!! Crooks.

Wish they would even make it such that they are paid per sitting. Then we'd see how many of them would kill to get there.

I doubt she did. That girl really has comprehension issues.

Your post is nothing but realistic, straight forward and indeed the topic is a very critical one especially when one puts into consideration the after effects of a comment after it has been made, the power of the internet in spreading such comments and indeed the capaciaty of the average Nigerian mind to stop to verify whatever information that is being passed as unfortunately Nigerians are not much into critical analysis of the information that falls on their laps.

Unfortunately, so much hate is being spread over the internet. There is a mental war going on between different tribes and many keep fueling such hatred out of sheer ignorance or a lack of something to say.

While the African Americans have been able, to some extent, to overlook whatever tribal/religious difference amongst themselves and have instead found strenght in their unity, the rest of Africa still feels comfortable dividing ourselves over such bigotry.

It has been apparent to me ever since that the core problems we face are our different cultures and probably, permit my boldness, the sole fact that in Nigeria, and Africa as a whole, we are unable to seperate our personal beliefs from a total respect of nationalism.

It was quite disheartening when during the election campaigns we had youths, graduates, and even adults who were comfortable with arguing along tribal, religious and ethnic lines even to the extent that some people are considered as "visitors" in another part of their own country while others are considered as hosts.

Until we as individuals are able to fight for the greater good of our nation, Africa and the black race as a whole and put aside our individual differences by upholding the law as provided by the constitution we will always be faced with such divisive issues.

Politics › Nigerians- Breaking Free From Ethno-religious Captivity by omenka(op):
Good afternoon all.

Doing this from a wedding reception so I implore you to excuse my errors.

A couple of days back, I created a thread titled "A call for the preservation of the memories of today's events" (www.nairaland.com/2368500/call-preservation-memories-todays-events). That thread was inspired by the sort of negative and utterly reprehensible brand of campaign championed by the then ruling party against the Person of Mohamadu Buhari, chief amongst which was whipping up ethnoreligious sentiments among voters from a particular section of the country.

I have said it before and I'd say it again- the things we do on this forum could have very far reaching consequences on the mood of things out there, especially given the fact we now live in a cyber age where information, be they negative or positive, spread so fast like a wild fire out of control.

In that thread I stated:
Most of the points listed above were propagated and hammered on by same people who are jubilant over the emergence of Dogara and Saraki as Speaker HoR and Senate President respectively. Dogara is a Northerner, Saraki is from North Central (includes christian dominated states such as Taraba, plateau, Benue, but when the time comes, PDP will call him a "Northerner", and when you say "North", everyone thinks "Islam/Muslim ).

It is necessary putting this in writing because a
time will come, perhaps in 2019, when PDP
would want to replay that ethnic, religious,
and regional cards which appears to be the
only ammo in their arsenal- polarise Nigerians
along these lines, have them vote based on
these sentiments, and see to your retention in
office!

Now, the situation we have at present shows three of the top four positions are occupied by "Northerners" but PDP is happy about it and apparently has no qualms whatsoever with the arrangement.
I wrote this because I understand how Nigerians tend to think nowadays given how badly their minds appear to have been abused especially in the last five years. I knew a time would come when they would want to start whipping up those mundane but potentially dangerous sentiment- but I could never have predicted the script would start being read so soon!!

Someone created a thread earlier today "Northenization of Nigeria" (www.nairaland.com/2376982/northernization-nigeria#34729245) and it seems to be gathering steam because such stuffs happen to be what stairs people up these days- never intellectual discussions. Most disappointing was the fact that members of this forum whom one assumes are adults and educated are the ones in agreement with the op. One even wrote "welcome to Nigeria of 1983"!! How worse could bigotry get??

Let's look briefly to the immediate past if we may: by my estimates, these are the most powerful positions in the country and attached to each of them are the religion and regions of their occupants:

1. President.---------- South/ Christian.

2. Vice President.----- North/Muslim

3. Senate President.---- North Central/Christian

4. Speaker of the HoR.----- North/Muslim.

5. Deputy senate President.--- South/Christian.

6. Chief Justice of Nigeria.--- North/Muslim

7. Chief of Defence Staff.------ South/*Christian.

8. Deputy Speaker HoR.----- South/Christian.

9. Secretary to the Government of the
Federation. ----- South/Christian.

10. Chief of Air Staff---- South/*Christian.

11. Chief of Army Staff---- South/Christian.

12. Chief of Naval Staff---- North Central/*Christian

13. Chief of Staff to President. ----- South/Christian.

14. Minister of Finance.----- South/Christian.

15. Petroleum Minister.------ South/Christian.

16. Interior Minister.------- North Central/
Christian.

Note: * represents uncertainty on item.

Now, out of 16 positions, you have 7 from the North. When you consider their religion, you have barely 3 Muslims.

Furthermore, if we take away the position of the
Vice President since these guys always tend to ignore the position, referring to it as a mere appellation, when promoting their divisive doctrine, we end up with [color=#990000]Only Two Out of Sixteen of those positions occupied by Muslims!

Now, did we see "Northerners" or Muslims come here to allege Jonathan nurses an agenda to
"Southernize" or "Christianize" Nigeriahuh

What is really the fuss here?? Why has this suddenly become an issue even when appointments are yet to be made??
Why are we so bent on trudging along this road that leads to nowhere but damnation?? What use is it having a blockhead installed into a sensitive position simply because he's a Christian or a Muslim, Northerner or Southerner?? Has tribe or religion ever even been a prerequisite for excellence??

As regards what happened in the National
Assembly, did Buhari conduct the election or did
he "appoint" the principal officers?? Weren't they voted by the
Congress that has in its composition a good percentage of southern voters??

I think this is nothing but a continuation of the
"demonise him" agenda the PDP pursued
vigorously during the campaigns against Buhari.

I call on well meaning Nigerians to be wary of those who are bent on polarising us along these lines and accentuating our differences. Ordinary Nigerians have never benefited from these gimmicks, never will. These are condemnable and retrogressive ideologies inspired by greedy and sadistic politicians, propagated by their paid agents, and accommodated and sustained by gullible, ignorant and unsuspecting Nigerians.

It is high time we shoved back this trash in their faces by aggressively rejecting them wherever the sprout, reminding these people how united they become whenever it comes the time to plunder the Nigerian treasury- that is the only time they remember they share a common Nationality and that they are "brothers".

Let's uphold and promote the spirit of the ties that bind us- there's everything to profit from so doing.

God bless us all and God bless the FRN.

In all sincerity, am Gej strong supporter but stands behind president buhari to succeed and move the country forward.
But this seems a heavy task even for a man that belongs to everybody and to no one cause from every indications the northern agenda will supercede that of this president.

With the recent announcement of the new acting accountant general of the country and what transpired inthe national assembly, the north has continued to show their determination pursuit of their agenda.


A secret meeting between the president and the northern forum was said to have happened where the president was pressured to return vital positions to the north considering their total support during the election. Now whether this is true or not I do not know, what I know is that the current trends show a sign.
The president is from the north, SP- north, Speaker- north , attonery general - north , Acting AG- north, chairman of governor's forum - north and others.

Its not also a secret that a northern will pick up the chief of staff, DG DSS , CSO , NSA and others.
My question is this , are there no other qualified candidates from the south that fits those bills?

In the spirit of one Nigeria, consideration should always be given this things. Now some people holds the school of thought that all they want is someone that can do the job and not after what region it comes from but the truth is that our country is a unique one where every tribe is sensitive and must be carried along to foster unity.


Would the north be OK if a southern president southernize the country? We must do the needful if we really want this nation to grow.
Pray wisdom leads Mr president.
The highest ranking officials in the Nigerian government and where they come from/their religion, are as follows:

1. President.---------- South/ Christian.

2. Vice President.----- North/Muslim

3. Senate President.---- *North Central/Christian

4. Speaker of the HoR.----- North/Muslim.

5. Deputy senate President.--- South/Christian.

6. Chief Justice of Nigeria.--- North/Muslim

7. Chief of Defence Staff.------ South/Christian.

8. Deputy Speaker HoR.----- South/Christian.

9. Secretary to the Government of the Federation. ----- South/Christian.

10. Chief of Staff. ----- South/Christian.

11. Minister of Finance.----- South/Christian.

12. Petroleum Minister.------ South/Christian.

13. Interior Minister.------- North Central/Christian.

Now, out of 13 positions, you have just 5 from the North. When you consider their religion, you are left with 3 (Benue is more of a Southern state than a north for those who know the state. Muslims don't even make up to 5% of the population).

Furthermore, if we take away the position of the Vice President since you guys always ignore the position when you go on this your usual North/South jingles under President Buhari, that leaves us with just TWO of the Top 13 positions to the North, ie the Speaker of the HoR and the Chief Justice of the Federation.

Now, did any of you complain of a "Southernization" agenda under ex-president Goodluck Jonathan?? What is really the fuss here?? Why has it suddenly become an issue even when appointments are yet to be made??

And as regards what happened in the National Assembly, did Buhari conduct the election or did he appoint them?? Weren't they voted by the Congress with a good percentage of "Southern voters"??

I think this is nothing but a continuation of the "demonise" him agenda the PDP pursued vigorously during the campaigns against Buhari.

Buhari has yet to appoint his Cabinet. Why the loud noisehuh
