₦airaland Forum

NDA and all agitating group should sheath their swords and let peace reign. The stance of the US is absolutely neutral and commendable. The ND people have spoken, they want peace because its only when you have peace that you have development.

@ Seun, Lalasticlala, Mynd44 and all who have the power to address issues and enforce Rules on this forum, we are grateful for all you've been doing to ensure sanity on this forum but a lot more needs to be done.

Some members of this forum were brought up to respect their neighbours' tradition, religion, opinions etc- forget the occasional taunts which you see as a result of incessant attacks and some people's desperate bid to bully one into accepting their ideas/opinions as superior to one's - we know our limits.

Nairaland has come to be a place where we get latest news regarding all sort of stuffs from politics to entertainment and as such attracts a host of people from all ages and all walks of life. I find it indescribably distasteful that one is allowed to bear such a moniker as ISLAMstinks on this forum!! This moniker in itself is a violation or Rule 2. Though a Christian, I take very strong exception to people insulting another man's religion be they Islam or any other religion for that matter. What good purpose exactly would such promote?? How do you expect Muslim visitors and members of this forum to feel seeing such a moniker knowing how much they revere their religion?? Why is something like this allowed to stand given how volatile things are out here today??

We know a horribly barbaric crime was recently committed by some animals in the name of Islam recently, and even in time past, just as we've have similar atrocities carried out by those who profess to be Christians, but that shouldn't be enough reason to brand the religion in such despicable manner.

The moniker was created just yesterday probably after one of the poster's handles was banned.

Seun, we have, you must agree, some abnormal persons on this forum, folks with serious emotional and mental issues, who have no idea the implications of the things they say here but if you grew up in the right environment, you'd know better. I therefore implore you, and anyone else who can, to prevail on the owner of the handle to review it in the interest of peace or have it taken down altogether. We have more than enough problems to last us a lifetime already- we don't need anyone adding fuel to the raging inferno.

Thanks you.


Ps: there are numerous comments on this thread that violate Rule 2 in that they are an outright insult to Muslims/Islam and should be treated accordingly. Rules are Rules and MUST be abided by and enforced. If a people can't observe the Rules of this forum, they should stop posting comments but simply read the stories and walk away.

Thank you for this post. Some people are only good at abusing the freedom of speech that the internet offers.
They spread hate like they are possesed with venoms.
Mod should please caution the user with a derogatory username. It is unacceptable. I am a christain by faith but will not preach hate against any religion because it is not what jesus the messiah stood for.

ridwanayo:
the northerners are very barbaric set of people mehn,heartless people who take pride in killing for one hemp smoker called muhammd,but with my experience in an edo dominated group with most of them from auchi,I fear for the future of nigeria with this muslim's in there,I just pray the s.west muslim retain there sanity cause islam is now being a curse to world

You are nothing but a mischief maker. You call a religious prophet a hemp smoker just to spite a religion and its people.
That does not make you any better than the religious idiots that took the laws into their hands by killing that woman.
Why cant we just be a bit tolerant and stop trying to defend a faith that we ourselves are not worthy of.

NSA should not sit down and let these guys regroup in niger. Libya is just a stonethrow away from that country. The kind of weapons currently in circulation in libya can cause chaos in any country. The MNJTF should go after them.
Its time nairaland starts banning users with violence inciting usernames.

A simple solution that would discourage fulanis from travelling down south is to encourage locals to also go into cattle ranching. Send indigenes abroad, Argentina,spain, denmark, teaxs etc .
I dont expect anyone to heed to this advice becos we africans are mentally lazy and are not practical humans.
Just abuse and ranting with rage.

Ikwokrikwo:
He is just as spineless as other Igbo leaders. Delta should elect an Ijaw man as governor next.

So are you saying ijaws are demons and violent? Way to go.

Proceeds from this drug sales will most likely be used to fund boko haram terrorist activities.
This is the underbelly of the crime world. Every marijuana smoker is actually indirectly financing the killing of innocent souls in places thousands of kilometers away. The office of NSA should please up their game.

Obviously, the world is not sympathetic to NDAs method of destroying the environment just to press home a demand.
It has a global environmental consequence. It might not be immediate but sometime in the future.

sambina:
won't be surprised, if after two years it has been turned to a sleeping apartment by those street urchins. maintenance is key, nice one by the government

That electronic board has been up at the obalende terminal for more than a year and a half.

Everybody is pretending to be related to mother theresa. Bargaining is what everyone does. Even the woman bargained her price from the banana farmer. Lets not pretend to be saints here.
It is called survival #ihatehypocracy

GenBuhari:
So Skype is less costly on data for people in Nigeria than other forms? Does Whatsapp use much data? sorry I am technologically ignorant.

What does Qos traffic shaping on router do?
How is it done?
I presume when you say subscribe to MTN or Glo you are talking broadband,

I dont think whatsapp video is common in nigeria, skype is. I used this skype video call feature about two years ago with my former boss and wife. The technology is what a lot of international broadcast media use for their interviews.
Qos shaping allows you alllocate as much bandwidth to a particular device on your shared network.
Those two providers should be able to meet your need.

If nigeria burns, these politicians are the last you will see. Even in time of uncertainty, they already have their interest well pitched overseas.
Scam of a common sense. Nonsense.

Realist2:
I hate to live in the world of injustice, it's better i die than to see injustice being perpetrated without justice because every unjust deed without justice will be a morale bolster to another.
If i may rhetorically ask ,What do we do to avert the eminent ?, How long shall this continue ?.

OP wants you to take up arm and go after the next northern muslim you set your eyes on. This is the 21st century. Humanity is wiser. If there is a need to deal with a religious aggressor, i dont think i need to read a long epistle of what happened in the middle east centuries ago.
Like we say, all man for himself.
For all i care, the Turks, Armenia and whatever would gladly go after an african before descending on themselves. At the moment, Africa is a priority to us. The rest of the middle east can as well go at each other, who cares? Hitler never gave a hoot about us, Stalin never did.
The British see us as an ally in the face of defeat.

Africa is the future. The rest of the world can nuke each other, who cares. Any religion that threatens to carry out a religious cleansing in africa will get more than it can chew, because its going to be a long haul.

I feel like weeping for the people of Bayelsa and Delta . . . how can a people be both sincerely, exclusively, exceptionally, and fantastically st00pid, and generously f00lish at the same time?

Ibori and Alams are still their hero, and the Otuoke man too.

Seriously, i weep for DELTA AND BAYELSA STATE. I pity the generations yet unborn, because they will ask questions "what did the governors and leaders do with their own share of oil wealth". So much looting going on and they can only divert their anger at other parts of the country.
These two states are in economic bondage and the so called NDA is using them as a cannon fodder.

All the tribes in nigeria are well represented. Nonsense

The Emir of kano must do everything possible to bring the murderers of this lady to book. This is unacceptable.

Until unilag management declare the students missing, the story is a hoax.

Emeka71:
You can try and get external hard disk for now.

That would depend on your motherboard spec. Check your manufacturer website to see if ram is expandable on your motherboard.

Looking for the sympathy of the people. You cripple the economy and laugh as people go hungry. Is that your definition of niger delta struggle?

The newest edition of wireshark has wifi exploiting capabilities integrated into its suite.
Worth exploiting.

Skype uses proprietary point to point protocol for communication.
Do Qos traffic shaping on your router, suscribe to mtn or glo and you should be fine.

EVILFOREST:
Because NIGERIAN leaders lack reasoning faculties to have built NIGERIA'S LIFE only around LAGOS. .
That's why the POPULATION of Lagos will hit 50million or more by 2050.
Now they find it difficult decongesting Lagos..

Ntoooooooorrrrr NIGERIA
I know that if NIGERIA were to be a person, she would allow only a White man govern her.

Imagine how people now Congratulate LAGOS STATE for such achievement at the detriment of others.
IF potentials in other states were harnessed like Lagos, others would have stood on their own without rushing to Abuja every month.

I deeply regret being a Blackman
Obviously we know nothing about Administration.

I see reasoning in your opinion but that regreting to be a black man is a depressing statement.
I rather be african than any other race. My opinion.

The Nigerian Police should immediately swing into action. Whoever is responsible for this should be brought to book. This is not pakistan or afghanistan.

All these just to get at the president. We will all suffer the consequences together. And for the irrational individuals that cheer and encourage such criminal and condemnable act, in the end you reap what you sow. No where in the world will thesd actions be applauded except africa where a few individuals are mentally deluded.
This is the 21st century, where global environmental pollution has a grave impact on the way we live on a global scale.

The actions of these faceless group will be questioned by the unborn niger delta generation and if anyone of them is alive to answer any such inquiry, i hope they will be man enough to own up. This dastard act is a disgrace, illogical and barbaric in reasoning. We should all rise up and condemn these acts. How do you justify wrecking your environment just to spite a man living thousands of kilometers from you.

Very pathetic.

Whoever is supplying these guys with propane gas should just put a stop to it. Its certainly not good for their mental stability.

Apelex:
Government of deception

If it will take deception to clean up ogoni, i am sure the people would welcome deception.

Good lord, what is our society turning to.

How can 8 trillion naira in 16 years leave you with such rustic development. Something is wrong somewhere.
Its time we ask Niger Delta governors what they have done with such money. That is national budget in two years.

I am not against true federalism. In fact i give it a 100% support but the issue of state corruption and lack of accountability is something we nigerians must not loss a site of.
There is so much looting at the state level as it is at the federal level.
Nigerians should support every effort aimed at fighting corruption at all level so that at the end of the day the local government executives and state governments dont constitute another economic plague. Our problem is multi faceted and demands a hollistic solution. The democracy we practise today is not the same as in the western world.
Let us pray that the true federalism we long for will not turn out to be a bitter pill.
A lot of institutions need to be in place for any form of system to work in nigeria.

bejeiodus:
Your write up made an interesting read.
The Niger Delta crisis goes beyond your superficial attempt to explain it. There is a need to bring the people to the table and seek their thoughts on what should be done.
The agitation didn't start with Ken Saro Wiwa like you wrongly pointed out, but with Isaac Adaka Boro who declared that part of Nigeria an independent nation in 1966.
If a struggle has been on since 1966 and it is not showing signs of abating, does that not tell us that it requires more than a military presence?

This country urgently needs to be restructured and the wealth of the people put in their own hands.
A reworking of our federal system of government will do a lot to ease the tensions in the land.

I must admit that there has been a commercialisation of the struggle for pecuniary gains, so this government must go beyond enriching some few to the detriment of others. The people of the Niger Delta are only being fed crumbs of the food continuously cooked in their backyard, they really deserve a place at the dinner's table.

The current military action going on in the Niger Delta should be a stopgap measure. A successful victory should not make us lose sight of the need to treat the disease for the well being of the Niger Delta.
bb

I like the way you use the word "commercialised struggle" because that is what it has become.
An avenue for whoever can cause the most devastating damage to get a blank cheque from the govt of the day. For how long will this continue. Personally, i am of the opinion that the ND struggle is the last hope of not just the region but every economically deprived nigerian on the streets in the country.
An opportunity for every nigerian to call and question political office holders to account for what comes in and goes out of the coffers.
If only every concerned niger delta citizen will approach the struggle from this perspective, there will be equitable sharing of the common wealth all at thefederal, state and local level.
Many atimes, i have questioned why the indegenes have not at any time questioned governors in this regions about how resources are put to use. The usual lame and dodgy answer is "it is nobodys business to ask how the leaders in the region spend their allocation".
We niger deltans must start asking our leaders to account for the little they have been given, only then can we ask for a higher share.
There are enemies within and these enemies are the ones who have refused to answer the query of the people.
