Op, when you get such news, first thing is to check the subject's wikipedia page. Stop spreading rumours. |
dapachez: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. |
Truckpusher:Thanks. ![]() |
Truckpusher:Hmmm. Seen. ![]() |
Op your arguments and assumptions are horribly lopsided. For your enlightenment, read this report: www.punchng.com/news/unpaid-salaries-strike-imminent-in-18-states/ Haba, fear God oo. ![]() |
shakaZuIlu:Seems you've forgotten I'm your uncle and your grand parents bore just two of us. Guess who my sister is. ![]() You can have her all day bro. ![]() |
Corruption is the biggest culprit. |
That lady in the last pic, how many b¤obs does she have?? Oritsefemi, the only celeb who begs little girls for visitations, I sight you. |
Op you worry over trivial issues- concerned over kids acting their age and adults acting like kids. ![]() 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. And you'd live happily ever after! ![]() |
Goodness!!! Would this ever get to the President's desk?? Imagine the outrage! |
Chubhie: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. ![]() 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. ![]() |
Chubhie: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. ![]() |
Hahaha. They are already crying. ![]() 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. |
ArodeTsolaye:Lovely. Noted. ![]() |
softysparky:I've grown up already. You are the one criticising me for "expecting you to grow up". So remain a kid if that serves you right. So long, and stick to the topic. |
hahn: |
brownlord:You just can't help yourself can you? Smh. |
softysparky:God bless you as you struggle to remain a child. ![]() |
ECOTERRORS:Are you incapable of taking it to the trash bin yourself ![]() |
ECOTERRORS:Ok. Seen. |
Firefire:Bro why don't you simply pretend to be intelligent for a change- just say nothing. It would keep people guessing. Think about it. |
ECOTERRORS:Did you even read what I wrote?? Did you even read the title?? |

Caseless:These things are so annoying honestly. Haba. When are we gonna grow up in this country?? Nations around the world who are our peers are busy exploring outer space and we are here ripping each other apart over petty issues like tribe and religion!! ![]() |
Hmmm. Benz S550 4matic. Google, here I come. ![]() |
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 ).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" Nigeria ![]() 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. Cc: Lalasticlala, Seun, Ishilove. |
onyengbu:Ohhh. So they should be encouraged to keep formenting trouble and spread lies because they want to get funding from PDP. Is that it ![]() |
Firefire:Oh come on. These gimmicks are only meant for ignorant kids or hardline ethnic jingoists. It was the same line you guys pursued during the campaign that we had to produce a list of cabinet members of "Nigeria of 1983" and it was seen there were more Christians than Muslims. Why are you guys bent on promoting hatred and tribal bigotry amongst Nigerians?? What exactly do you guys stand to gain?? Na wa oo. |
nelson4: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 noise ![]() *Edit: CDS- North/Christian. |
@ Jomoh: See why it is necessary replying these guys sometimes?? I think he's now enlightened with my response above and wouldn't go spreading that lie about the president anymore. ![]() |
