kingzizzy: Against the North, those drums dont mean anything. If you boycott elections, its all to the Norths advantage.
There will be no restructuring unless the North agree and they have said it will be over there dead body. The only people who can challenge the North are those who are ready to take up arms. People like Ojukwu, Niger Delta militants. These are the people who the North take serious. The rest of you can shout restructuring forever, the North doesnt care In reference to the emboldened; if there is regional boycott of general election that in itself will raise serious legitimate concerns over the validity of such election should it go ahead. A case of southern Nigeria boycott of a general election will spell political death to the ruling government. |

malton: There's no such thing as tribal homogeity between the middle belt and the core north. Some middle beltan states understand and speak hausa due to contacts with the hausa civilization. But that's that. They all maintain their individual identities nonetheless. Just the way some ijaws understand and speak yoruba in the South West and some other tiny Igala tribes in the South East. |

kingzizzy: Not possible. The total control of the south in the national assembly is just about 38%, the North about 62%. What this means is that in other to get the 67% needed to pass a bill on restructuring. The entire SW/SE/SS/NC and at least half of either the NE and the NW, the two biggest opponents of restructuring.
The south are not united enough to boycott eletions
It is simply not possible. If you listen, listen and listen again you'd hear the drums of restructuring getting bit by bit louder. A total boycott from the south can still happen with time, even if majority vote fails in the National assembly. |

Ogalanyachieze: imagine what you just wrote. (1Cultural) which culture did you use as yardstick ? The north has more heterogenous culture than south. (2 tribal ) it still has more tribes scattered all over the north. Moreover ur write up was not about tribe or culture its is suppose to be purely economical how come you ended up presenting the north from a cultural view in mind while presenting the south from economic angle. If culture is why the north thrive why did you not include tourism as one of thier economic strength. When next you attemp this thread do your research well dont come to a public forum to insult intelligence. There are very well knowledgable people here. Thank me later  You're getting unnecessarily worked up over a mere individual outlook on what a true federal structure could present economically for the nation. The entire northern region is dominated by the hausa/fulani even though other smaller tribes are scantily distributed across the entire region. And they (The North) always presented themselves as a single unit when it comes to their advantage but otherwise split themselves whent it comes to political appointments, eg. the recent allocation of principal positions in both houses of assembly. I would have given much thought to your critic if you held any objections on the economic potentials of each region as outlined in the topic. But your objection leans more towards politics than economy. You didn't query me for not striping each region down to states. Why? |

kingzizzy: When the North controlls over 60% of the votes at the national assmbly, how will anyone pass a vote on restructuring? It will never happen because the northerners will never agree to it. With total cooperation from the 17 states of the southern region, states like Jos, Benue, Kogi, etc. can be persuaded given the fact that they too haven't enjoyed much from the current structure. Alternatively, total boycott of all national elections by the southern regions remairemains sure proof that the south has had enough. |

Should Nigerian leaders come to the point of sincerity and allow a true restructured Nigeria to emerge in the spirit of true federalism, there would be a wide spread of economy diversification so much so that each region will have something to contribute to the national coffers.
A truly restructured Nigeria under the spirit of true federalism would see:
THE NORTHERN REGION ; being the food basket of the nation and also rich in solid minerals even in commercial quantity, it will thrive economically. But its leaders are afraid of true restructuring because they've allocated for themselves most of the oil blocks.
THE WESTERN REGION; Will thrive as a banking and IT hub not just nationally but continent-wide. To a large extent, this region has a front foot being the industrial hub of the country. Cash crops like coccoa can be revived to serve as boost to regional economy diversification.
THE SOUTH SOUTH REGION; Already blessed with abundant crude oil and natural gas, a good regional and aggressive economic policy can see a state in the region establishing a sea port that can give the lagos ports a good run for its money. Nigeria is losing billions annually to over congestion and burocratic bottleneck regarding the lagos ports. It makes good judgement to say Nigeria is over due for multiple regional ports that is well balanced to serve the needs of the country's vibrant import/export demands. States in the region can also revive their agricultural sector by focusing oon cash crops like palm oil.
THE EASTERN REGION; Well known for its unparalleled entrepreneurial vibrancy and zest for technological and manufacturing creativity will no doubt serve as an industrial and manufacturing hub.
Moderate yeilds of natural resources like coal, oil and gas and other minerals (tin, copper and iron ore) and cash crop (palm oil) can serve as boost for economic self-dependence.
There's absolutely no need for any region to fear a truly restructured Nigeria. It's a win win for everyone. |

This is really curious....I asked what happened to this thread that there are so many deleted posts, and now even that has been deleted. Some one is really drunk on power. Get over it already!
Hey Jude,........don't carry the world upon your shoulders. (Just wanted to say that, it's the only line from the song I find relevant). So you're on the single-mother matter? While I am not against showing kindness and generosity to people in need, don't let yourself be taken advantage of. If you're blessed with the means, do it. But let her know you do not intend to make her your responsibility going forward. In reference to the emboldened; No one can give what he/she doesn't have. A blood thirty predator can't teach others how to be vegetarians. You don't teach self control on much harder aspects of life, like faithfulness when you haven't liberated your soul from the temptation the ban button presents. Oh, OP please help her. |

Even with all their innovation like first per second billing, first gprs provider, their services are nothing short of national embarrassment. They're completely unreliable. |

Timelezz: So dstv intends offloading thier exploitation of Africans to another south African company that has mastered the art of corporate thievery and profiteering while sparing their customers in south Africa.
Time for Nigerians to do the needful; ditch mtn and dstv for ctl and glo or any other telecom until these animals from Zululand bring same service they deliver in south Africa back here .
The ANC Government is officially one of the most corrupt government in Africa and is robbing white firms (dstv) blind through BEE and they are selling out or risk bankruptcy.
And they are using Nigerian patronage to offset official mismanagement. There're facts in what you said. But GLO... ! |

bennyann: The bolded, you're known for it in other places?  Very probing! My values here are same as in the real world. bennyann: Ok. I went through some of your posts and I realized you have a Godly stance on almost everything. This is true. It's arguably the most distinguished feature I exhibit here. bennyann: I guess your romantic poetic words with Ishilove gave a different version of you but my my, where did you get all that from? You wouldn't blame them, would you?  That's true, a clear divergence from the usual. Though it wasn't actually the first - there have been some flashes of some much subdued romantic banter with a couple of other actors which could be termed OK. Entertainment or amusement was the chief factor behind it. But the one in question was of a league of its own. It was more than was bargained for. No one is to blame. Sometimes the wind has a mind of its own and the sailor may find himself in an uncharterd waters. Jerimaiah 8:4 comes to mind: "When people fall down, don't they get up again? When they discover they're on the wrong road, don't they turn back?"  bennyann: And how come you were able to combine the two, I mean romance and God? it's quite rare you know. The Christian notion that the GODly ought to be less romantic or less gifted in the field of romance must be dispensed with. While we discourage immorality and indiscriminate and disproportionate application of romantic overtures, it is an essential part of good, healthy and sustainable relationship. Its proper application is quite GODly. You must not consider it strange when GODliness blends seemslessly with romance in an individual. You may only frown at its misuse of which I have been culpable. bennyann: From the little I skimmed through I can say it was just all for the play, jokes and entertainment. But you know yourself best  Mostly. A little bit of a mixed bag. bennyann: I doubt if you can play that romantically outside here. I really doubt it. It shouldn't matter. bennyann: Analice107, postmann only played around for some few minutes. just as he said, it was indeed "a literary gift of which only a fragment was deployed for romantic entertainment"

I dey hail oo  Of course. And I don't see any reason why it should be hard for you to fathom. Or maybe you need an elementary arithmetic analysis of my total posts or topics on here and how much time was dedicated to romantic overtures with how many ladies. I'm not the good guy but chasing or seducing women is not what I'm known for here. You may want to look beyond my brief and rare stint exchanging romantic correspondence with less than a handful of lucky ladies. There's quite a lot more about postmann. |

KingEbukasBlog: You are welcome
I'll certainly know if anyone is trying to seduce me . I'm no longer pedantic about those things like before especially now I dey look for woman .
A whole me ? Lol . There's Facebook , Twitter , Instagram , BBM ... WhatsAPP is extra load . But when I get a smartphone( I don't make use of one now but I've got an iPad so no worries . ) I'll download the App.
Nope
Just like the CU graduate (news on front page) who says she needs a man who can satisfy her sexually and ready to have MouthAction with her - that's the context
True .
Nope . Not really bringing down men . But manipulating them to get way you want . Manipulation not in the morally wrong way but in the sense that you can easily persuade any obstinate man to bow to your wish through seduction . The repugnant naive ones withhold sex ; the smart knowledgeable ones play the psychological game . The former infuriates leading to violence to the woman's detriment , the latter satisfies both parties and increases the woman's confidence , self esteem and gives her a greater sense of control .
Still giving it a thought
A woman in politics ? Sexy . Its a must read for anyone who is doing anything that involves the masses mostly entertainment , politics or seeking fame as a rising star .
Actually some women in the past wanted or yearned for those men . Men who are fearless and courageous enough to surmount any resistance or challenge such as their husbands or boyfriends and give just one night of pleasure . Casanova had many flings with married women - because they weren't happy with their marriages (no romance , no sexual pleasure) . Even men who boast publicly about their sexual exploits with women got the attention of more women -single and married - whom they slept with too .
Women are very emotional beings and the emotional mind is deemed irrational . The emotions can easily overwhelm the rational mind making many to do many irrational things . And the very irrational things are very seducing .
Well well well . And those married women that get seduced by young men don't know what's up ba ? It has to be only by the mercy and grace of God . If not , whatever principles you think uphold and moral code you live by will just scatter when they catch you . I've met Rakes before and women fall for them in numbers . I mean look at how Ishilove and analice107 fell for Lezz and Postmann's seductive language . It took analice107 to "flee from all manner of evil" for her not to be swept off her feet . Am I the poster boy for nairaland's famed seducer even when been on the reacting end of an erotical invitation of which only an erratic response was granted? A simple invitation was honoured. No ransom given, no ransom asked. No lady was bundled off her moral horse. None was targeted with any weaponised romantic device. It was only a gentleman's obligedness - meeting a lady half way. You paint me a sexual or romantic predator because you probably were pressured by my literary gifts - of which only a fragment was ever deployed for romantic entertainment. |

Christianity Etc › Re: Don't You Think God Is A Partial God? by postmann: 11:35pm On Apr 10, 2017 |
refiner: In Romans 9 vs 16...so then it is not of him that willeth,nor of him that runneth,but of God that sheweth mercy. What that scripture is saying in essence is that GOD gives HIS grace to the humble who acknowledges HIM. Not the proud and boastful who believe in their own effort. refiner: That means God is selective of whom to show mercy to,why that?...are we not all his creatures?...we can see this in the case of jacob and esau...he showed mercy to jacob unlike esau... You must understand that HE knows us, even our capabilities and what the inclinations of our hearts would be like even while we were in the womb. GOD made a decision on Esau according to who Esau actually was. Esau treated his birthright with contempt by selling it to HIS younger brother. GOD's judgment on Esau was prophetic. refiner: Peter and judas iscariot...peter was showed mercy but judas was doomed to die...
Saul and david....
And lots of biblical cases... Now, Judas was a thief who was stealing from the common purse of our LORD JESUS CHRIST and HIS apostles. Talk about one with a twisted heart. And HE eventually, premeditatedly sold his MASTER for money. Peter on the other hand received mercy because his heart failed him, fear got the better of him. His spirit was willing but his flesh was weak. He was so zealous and passionate for the LORD that he would even have died in CHRIST's place. HE dearly loved CHRIST. "Simon Peter, son of John, do you love me more than the others?" (John 21:15) Same thing applied to David. He loved GOD and was zealous. While Saul was a persistent sinner, David was after GOD's heart. And David never escaped GOD's judgment when he committed adultery and murder. But GOD knew he was a good man and spared him from death. But GOD dealt severely with him. GOD looks at the heart of men. refiner: Not everyone will receive the mercy of God...some are doomed to die no matter how many years spent on the earth...God spares only those he wish to and destroy others...
Little wonders why someone will commit a particular sin,will go scot free but someone else that commit that same sin might die.....
So doesnt it mean that God is a partial God?...state your opinion without insults... You must realise that GOD is stricter when judging HIS own than when judging the unbelieving sinner. Did it surprise you how Judas received condemnation but the thief on the cross with JESUS received pardon and was with CHRIST after death? Those who have been given the grace of repentance and salvation are held to account more than those who are unbelieving sinners. Consider Luke 12: 47-48 "And a servant who knows what the master wants, but isn't prepared and doesn't carry out those instructions, will be severely punished. But someone who doesn't know, and then does something wrong, will be punished only lightly." Consider also John 9:41 " JESUS said, "If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin; but now that you claim you can see your guilt remain." |

The moment people see medical certificates as distinct from moral uprightness, they will learn fast that doctors, like any other profession -Pastors, lawyers, judges, law enforcement agents, etc - can breach the trust of their office. They too (doctors) lie under the power of the human nature, to lust and crave after the flesh of the opposite sex. When such fierce desire arises, simple medical ethics that governs doctor-patient relationship stands as a weak barrier against the tide of perversion. Sexually immoral doctors exist. It's a nightmarish truth some peeps won't like to accept. Be wise!  |
