Chxta:
A lot? With the exception of Nutter (and that was a grammatical correction), I am yet to encounter more than three corrections in all my posts on Nairaland, so where did all those people materialize from?

As for my being erratic, why don't you wait until you meet me in person, or otherwise find out the true meaning of the word. I am quite consistent in all my views.

As for you my dear Ono, you are guilty of constantly attacking person, not issue. Sometimes I wonder whether you are worth the effort. . .

Well, I said all that not to hurt you. Don't take it too personal. One ''smiling smiley' would have made the difference, though. As per meeting you in person, well, I'll say not yet. But are you in PH?

And me, I seldom attack folks' personality on this forum. Rather, I've made wonderful friends on this site because of the way I relate with people. We can be friends, after all said.

Hmn, I see brother Nutter has taken Chxta and one nilla headlong. I hail o! Nothing could best solve our problems in this country other than breaking up. It's the ultimate solution, believe me. And the divided components will achieve much after the great divide. It's just a matter of time, we'll be there.

A good regime for KK would be to lock him in  a cage with a female gorrilla

That would only result to breeding miniature King kongs. And that could be worse for us all. We don't want energetic king kongs roaming the lands like dynosaurs, do we?

Nutter:
For KK, poverty is good but torture is better

Yeah. Kingkong would give in when properly tortured. A random sticking of red hot iron in his ''arse'' will do. I think that even as old as he is, he's developed survival strategies for such state as poverty. He's stolen enough to last him for the rest of his life. How else can one explain his inability to nab IBB even when all the facts stare a primary 6 pupil in the face?

It's obvious that he's towing IBB's line, and he doesn't want to be [b]''disturbed''[/b]when he's munching away his loot at the end of his stay in Aso villa.

Chxta:
My error.

You've made so much errors on this forum. And a lot of people have corrected you too. I think you're an[b] erratic person[/b]

sagacious:
, His voice is so soft and tender,he walk like a girl with big 'BAKASI' like a girl,but very tall dark and handsome

Hmn. Interesting! Maybe he's a girl-boy. What do we call such peeps?

When a statue begins to shiit hot hot shit, i will believe
Cos there can be no trick in shiit.

zebudaya:
the link you gave is biased, the authors of the website probably believe it. statue is always crying and weeping in developing countries why doesn't it cry and weep in washington, london, tokyo?

You should ask zebrudaya if he were Zebudaya

Woooow!! I've never had a good laugh before. Lawdy lawd!!

Very true man, very very true!!

ishmael:
Odeku and his cohort i pity una. So u think say na person wey them vote for dey win election for naija?? laughing . After una go dey claim say una dey yankee dey still know wetin dey happen for naija, that na big lie. Who tell you say people bin vote for OBJ in 1999? Who tell you say him bin win 2003 elections?? Make una no decieve una selves. For your information the electorates don't elect their leaders here in nigeria, rather some few people select them and impose them on nigerians. Or do you think OBJ had more votes than Olu Falae in 1999? Or you think OBJ had more votes than Buhari in 2003?? So whether you vote for Atiku or not or vote for IBB or not, when the time comes for those men to select who should rule they will do it irrespective of who has the highest votes out there in the polling stations. Hope u've not forgotten too soon the case of Abiola and Tofa in 1993? Abiola obviously won the elections; but was he sworn in as the president?? it will only amount to naivety for one to be thinking that it is the man that has the highest count of votes in the polling centers that wins the election in nigeria; sorry. OBJ's time is up, and it is time for another man (a member of the kparapo) to come and rule.

Much as politics in Nigeria is not black and white, I want to plead with all key players to make sure that when they are at each other throats, they should leave out my people in the Delta and their resources too. How I wish they are fighting over the ownership of groundnut pyramids, cocoyam, cocoa, hide and skin and other ''goodies''. They should stop branding my people's land as ''oil blocks''.

They should be more concerned with branding their lands as ''cocoa blocks'', Groundnut belts and tin belts, please! And I don't give a dime if they cut off each other's head over that. Shameless thieves washing their dirty linen in the public!!

What's disturbing is the fact that all these things have been happening under the ''watchful eyes'' of EFCC. How do I believe now that EFCC is not biased in their crusade against corruption?

EFCC:
Corrective tool for re-aligning erring politicians in a babacratic government to gain absolute loyalty

All these[i] traditionalists[/i]. Na wa for una.

Man pickin dey smell ''rat''.

But sometimes, I wonder how all these our leaders see us. I guess they think the average Nigerian does not know anything.

I've done a bit of reading sijien posts. I believe he's not from the Niger Delta

Sijien:
basil omiyi is d mdof spdc. where does he come from?

Ol boy, did you say you're doing SITP? Ok o!

You will do some petroleum engineering in that your SITP. Check up what a ''Delta'' is, then come back and tell me if Basil Omiyi is from the Niger Delta. We know he's from Edo state, somewhere in Esan. But I know Esan is not a part of the ''technical Niger Delta''. It's a part of the ''Political Niger Delta''. And Esan does not produce any drop of oil as at the last time I checked.

All you can do is educate employers on the possibility that some 3rd class graduates might be good for business.

Seun,
How do you plan to go about educating them? Besides, how would you know when even at interview stages, 3rd class degree holders are often discriminated againt?

I'll suggest that employers should provide a level playing field for all irrespective of the class of the degree anyone holds. Let these people prove their mettle and select the best at the end of the day. It might be laborious but I think this might help in the end.

I will also like to know how Tony of UBA got his first job and rose through the ranks to where he is today. Sometimes, it's wise to hear from the horse's mouth.

I've been following the pattern of this discourse.

Is someone trying to tell us that no one should be looked down upon, discriminated against in job interviews, in marriage, etc etc, simply because of the class of his certificate? If yes, when will our society imbibe this new found fact about holders of 3rd class degree and other lesser certificates, diplomas, etc etc?

rotbog:
Well, I think the point is this: Whateva U com out of school with, endeavor to make a first class in life.

I don't know what Elumelu, Fahwenhimi etc graduated with. The so called 3rd Class stories are all products of rumors.

But at least they all havent made a 3rd class in Life, and thats what matters most. The certificates are all means to an end.

That expected end is success in life.

This is what I'll call ''robust thinking''. Great thoughts.

Sijien:
ono, we can't fashion a common front when our people r willing to accept greedy leaders who don't have our interests at heart. it is not possible. our peopel don't go to school again. they r interested in deve and other shotcuts to gettng rich & it doesnt work that way. how do u expect us to stand when our so called leaders will prefer to build high fences and send their children abroad. which delta leader has done any serious investment in delta?
owo i wont even argue with u about were i come from. it is peeps like u that said chxta is not ibo because he said the truth about igbo people. you're very stupid. i live and work in d place i was born and i have said that before. who funded d niger delta crisis? hausa? yoruba? igbo? abi we ourselves. d guns that were used in the warri wahala was imported by warri people not any other person. am not going to waste time on you. yeye.

So, what you're saying in effect is that we should go to our past and present leaders home (in the Niger Delta only - as they are the sole conspirators against our progress), detain them, arrest them (probably kill them) and then chart a new course to progress. Right? We should hold our leaders accountable. Well, as for me, I will not take that route.

In as much as our leaders are guilty as charged, I still believe that the root of corruption started with the exploitation of cride oil resources in the Delta.

I read an article recently where the whole operations of oil production activities, history, agreements and all were laid bare. My brother, if you read through, you'll agree with me that the Land Use Act, Natural Resources decress and other decrees instituted by the powers that be, just few years after the discovery of crude oil in the Delta were made without the knowledge of these leaders of ours that you're blaming. Go ad read all the laws that vested the authority to build operate, exploit all natural resources on the FG and come back to tell me if it's fair on our people.

I really don't have much time, but I'll advise you to read and understand the big issue rather than wasting time on deve palava and school runs.

Sijien,
I was in Warri too during the crises period, my brother. I'm sorry about your dad's house. But we have to let go of past misdeeds for us to move ahead - if we want to move ahead.

At this point in time in the history of Warri, all the ethnic nationalities (the aborigines - Ijaw Itsekiri and Urhobo) should be more concerned about coming together and forging a common front at confronting the larger problems that stare us all in the face - problems whose masterminds are the past and present central government (FG) of this failed state called Nigeria.

It's no longer news that the current federal arrangement is fashioned out in such a way that the minorities in the Niger Delta are perpetually kept in the dark about the schemes and plans of the majority ethnic groupings. Are you not surprised that 50 years after oil exploitation started in this in the Niger Delta, the Niger Delta cannot boast of any standard city - similar and comparable to Abuja. Abuja was built with oil money from the Delta. And within a spate of some 15 years, it has grown to the level that it's probably the fastest growing city in the world! Wake up man!

Now, this LNG was to be cited in Escravos, to provide job opportunity for the restive youths in the region and calm frayed nerves. Yet, the powers that be would not allow this to happen. They gave all sorts of excuse and thrash to move it to Olokola -  an enclave between Ondo and Ogun States. They say that is their way of jumpstarting their economy. Now is that right? Is it right for one to use the resources of a people angling and crying for development to develop an hitherto unknown enclave?


Is it not a slap on our face that we should shut up and let other trample on our fundamental rights? Is it right for the FG to give out our lands in the Bakassi Peninsular to another country under the guise of making peace, and at thesame time militarising our land and killing the people? Just think about these weighty issues and put aside the thoughts of your fathers house that was burnt during the Ijaw-Itsekiri war. God will put you in a position to build a bigger house for your father and family. Let go of revenge and bitterness towards your brother and move on. The Ijaws are your brothers. So also are the other ethnic groups that cris-cross the Delta. We are all brothers in thesame struggle.

GNature:
@Big B1

I understand your concern regarding Duke, but remember, Shagari never had any experience
(not even as a governor) and ruled the country for 4 years.

Personally, I think he has what it takes to be president. If Shagari, a former school teacher can
do it, why not Duke ?

Good one Gnature. Solid point.

I know Duke will make the Niger Delta people proud. For now, I believe he's our trump card. Our Ace.

OK. So what do we rely on for our source of information?

Don't tell me to go and see IBB and ask him myself, cos I can't!
