Recent events in Edo, Anambra, Abia, Imo, Rivers and a few other states have shown that many nigerians are beginning to wake up. Ogun people should take a cue, vote and stand up against rigging instead of looking for who to borrow.

Lagosboy:
Only if people's vote counts in Nigeria. Lagos and Kano are exception due to the level of awareness , intellect and security risks they pose to the nation.

Lagosboy:
@papabrowne

I do not know how long you have followed my posts on NL but for you to fabricate a lie and say people like Lagosboy never denounce 9/11 or voilence is un called for.

If you do not know it is better you remain silent than forment trouble by making allegations that are baseless.

MrCrackles:
What nonsense are you talking about? Do you have any common sense at all?
Really, no need 4 the harsh language!

What happened with 911 is not something supported or encouraged by Islam
Yeah, I suppose. However, Lots of Muslims like Lagosboy [/b]and a couple others never denounce such violence. Instead they make sentences like, it's not only muslims that are violent", "other religions have done this or that in the past'. Not encouraging violence is one thing, refusing to denouce it is another.

[b]It is so easy for people to carry out despicable acts and claim religion said so, and it is so easy for people that dont know about the religion to believe
Unfortunately, perception is reality!What you see is what you tend to believe.

Extremism in all type of religions are common, but it doesnt mean the religion preaches it.
Fact!  However, in adulterating a religion, the extremists tend to take from the underlying principles of that religion.

There are good muslims outhere who go about the principles without infringeing, alienating or encroaching anyone
Sure, I have a lot of good muslim friends, most of which would be very tolerant even to the stupid Dutchman

We should be more worried about stopping all this religious hatred, extremism and mis-understanding
I support! Especially when you consider that the major religions propped up from Judaism.
Interestingly, Christians and Jews get along pretty much I guess.

We need to be more tolerant and denounce evil/devilish acts
Tolerance is a two way street. Meaning, while the Dutchman is supposed to respect other people's beliefs, other people are supposed to tolerate his own beliefs.

Everyone is entitled to thier opinions as well as religion and culture, however there is no point in fuelling the fires of violence and religious hatred
I agree. However, no fires would be fueled if the offended can channel their energies to better use rather than getting into a religious frenzy anytime someone says something1

@ Lawyer, Brownbonno and Papabrowne, let me update you guys on my recent adventure in the picture taking new year resolutionist agency agenda.

After all the 'accusations' of laziness, off I went with my digicam just before the end of last year. I proceeded to take pictures of some properties I had on my hands. Having satisfied myself that I had sufficient to silence the nairaland naysayers, I proceeded to try to upload the pictures. And that's where the whole drama started. Try as I may, the pictures wouldn't upload before the internet would be disconnected. Day after day since the first day of this year, I tried and tried and tried. Sometimes even waking up in the early ungodly hours just to work. No show. Then three days ago, while doing the same, I decided to take the laptop to the bedroom and lay my head down while waiting for the effing thing to upload. Eureka! I made a great discovery. The internet connection was better. I had been using one of the corridors as my office and the network was no good there and I hadn't noticed. So I thought surely, I would be able to upload my pictures now.

Then to my utter dismay after the picture ought to have completely uploaded, NAIRALAND gave me an error message: YOUR FILE IS TOO BIG. What the fffff? I could not upload more than 200KB at a time. What? In this day and age? My average file was 600KB.

So, I've only been able to post the pictures of stuff that are under 200KB so far on one of my ads.

There!

As much as anybody is entitled to his opinion,he should have respect for other ppls beliefs,
the guy has been banned from entering the UK.

I would think by now you would understand that I take offence when my outrage is taken to mean naiveté of some sort. It is not about when I was last in the country here. I mean considering the reality of things in that country, I still do not understand where all the money keeps coming from, and why these men are not investigated to ensure the source is legit, up to this day. Even in developed countries, it is hard to find a politician or any person who holds public office that has that amount of money in pocket. Even Obama, Biden etc where not worth one 8th of that amount as senators. Heck, the president’s salary does not even come close to that amount but we allow these men these numbers?

What business man in Nigerian legitimately makes that amount? [/b]How many of them do you know of who actually are good business men and can dole out such a huge sum after only a few years in business? [b]I remember having to deal with an old acquaintance telling me that his father, who is a “businessman” in Nigeria, sells salt by the way, is able to afford the lavish lifestyle the boy, and his 3 siblings live here in the US.  I immediately got disgusted and walked off.

Stories like these make me wonder if the EFCC is really doing a good job or is only there for show. I really find the situation appalling. Now, when I think of those that kidnapped his wife, how can I blame them at this point? Maybe they know of the source and deemed it worth their taking advantage of by the means which they did. How can I raise my voice against the kidnappers when I am not even sure how this man came about his wealth? This whole is just disgusting.

nuzo:
Does being an NNPC boss give one a legal access to millions of dollars in nigeria?
I would also appreciate it if you gave us a little insight of the kind of business this crook does?

Kobojunkie:
Now that sum, I find ridiculous!! The way these dudes throw out numbers like say na nothing. Abeg, how does one verify these amounts? lol

MrCrackles:
Is Britain not part of Europe?

debosky:
This report is completely lacking in imagination

Oyinlola took Atiku to reconcile with Obj = Atiku runs for president in '11 with Oyinlola as sidekick?

I guess if you saw a picture of me beside Angelina Jolie at Mme Tussauds then it would mean we will get married.

'authoritatively' my foot. People do like to engage in pointless speculation.

asha 80:
I just left nigeria 4 months ago so what.Look ilaugh and papabrowne the problem is with you guys.Why?The thing is that most nigerian's mind have been brutalized over the years such that they do not know the BASIC FUNCTIONS OF GOVERNMENT hence the praise singing.

Mai Suya:
