I once asked my friend if she had read Half of a Yellow Sun and said she had seen d movie and had no reason to read d book.
.
This has also repeated a couple of times with different people.
.
People now prefer to visit movie shops and cinemas than libraries and bookshops and this really telling on the quality of students in our dear country.
.
Everyone seem to find a shortcut about everything which is why examination malpractice will always be on the high side. Gone are the days of reading news papers.
.
A Generation That Can't or Won't Read is as Bad As A Waste.

Let's Read Nigeria!

Do not say 'everyone' because I have just read your post and didn't wait for the movie! I am just pulling your leg ooo; everything you said there is very true.

I for dey very interested in this your post; I checked google the news no day there; I clicked on the link I no see anything. Na only you waka come?

when all you southerners know is pulling down your own people. What do you expect? The process of selecting judges to federal judiciary is very transparent, it is not by appointment or godfather. Nominate a southerner today and you will see countless petitions written by his own people on why that person is not qualified, meanwhile a northerner nominated for thesame position will be praised to high heavens by all his people, including those that competed against him. It is not a religion thing, because the middle belt who are mainly Christians also support their people on national assignments.

You must be very smart to have 'outsmarted' me by posting exactly what is in my mind!

After trying to destroy our hard earn struggle of removing the pest called PDP from our national life, he should simply go and face an 'ordinary'. Tribunal judge to determine his fate.
If Saraki scale through this then I give up on governance in Nigeria!

Thank you joor Op. This is one of the most detailed posts on the Saraki saga.
As far as I am concerned, if saraki is found guilty of these charges and happens to use any means to escape punishment, the I will give up on governance in Nigeria.

Bunch of rogues everywhere. And for those hypocrites organizing prayer for a thief all the name of 10 yards of guinea cloth or ileya ram God will put them all in shame and their prayer will not be accepted Insha Allahu wabi jahi seyidu hujud " PBUH "

If worship of God were to be made because of men, I would have asked the muslims to dissociate themselves from these clowns. Thank God there are various attribute to be given to disqualify someone from the faith he claims he practice; hypocrite, sycophants,idol worshippers etc . These people are not immune to those attributes. Anyway 'man no be God'!

There is some lawmaker from the SE that's being currently monitored for such activities. It is alleged that he is very good at such manipulations especially with the Abuja High court.

Ok, let us wait and see. I believe this case has already generated enough heat for anybody to want to involve himself on it. But a fly that will not heed a good advice......!

Buhari has even assert the superiority of the CCB in this case. Let the law takes its full course and let any Judge or SAN that make themselves available to be used to truncate the laws of the land meet adequate sanction!
Wetin even pain me pass be say, Kwara na poor state. So somebody who has the mind to plunder that state like this should not attract any sympathy from any clean mind!

Why are these people talking nonsense? They should rather help the masses to beg these politicians from plundering our common wealth.
Honestly youth revolution in this country will be wise. That will send more signal instead of the kidnapping, terrorism, secession and bunkering the youths have being indulging in.

abduljabbar4:
Of course there may be attacks occassionally but they won't be as frequent as in the days of jonah-daft's leadership

Honestly. It is as if some people are not happy with the fight against boko haram. If they are still strong as they claim why have they not being moving in convoy to and fro their attack location like they were freely doing during the Jonathan's era? Why have they not being attacking military formation as they do before. At least even the suicide bomb attacks have reduced drastically. Kudos to the military joor!

Someone should help me tell those 'clerics' to stop that nonsense. Someone stole your money and you are now praying that God should shield him from punishment. Don't you have conscience? Do you think that God reasons like you? Let them not provoke me ooo...!

That is the honest truth.
Let us take Suleja as a study case;
1 there are only three tarred road in Suleja; Minna road, Morroco road, Hassan Dallatu road. The rst are in shambles.
2 No pipe born water has been extended to any extension for the past 20 years. These extentions harbours the major population of Suleja
3 No garage as all the bus stops have been converted to garage.
4 The people buy and install their transformers.
5 The most active work the local government does is tax collection.
6 No good government schools and no regulation on the private schools.
7 The local security are given very strong powers just like the police. In fact, the police sometimes closes as early as 2.pm from all their major road hang-out leaving the entire populace in the hands of weeds smoking touts who are 'laws' on to themselves'!
8 There is no higher institution in that zone.
9 Their library has only one bench for visitors. The latest book there was published since the '70s'.
The only grace they have is the FCT.
Now this governor was overwhelmingly voted for in this same Suleja. I hope he realises that a lot of work is needed in the state than a jamboree.

Every reasonable Nigeria want Buhari outta the SP throne. He cannot held down our CHANGE manifesto. Saraki be like " had I know " where is Atiku his godsfather ? Politics is really a dirty game.

There is a slight mistake in your post. Please go and modify immediately!

Wow,this is interesting!

The funny thing is that all security agencies will be falling over themselves to claim credence for his arrest. Saraki should just honourably go to the nearby police station to avoid embarrassment.
At least a country should have laws and order!

This is a clear case, I hope the tribunal Judges will not constitute themselves to 'Lord of subverting the Law'. I just wish Buhari make a no nonsense person like Hamid Ali of custom as Anthony General of the Federation. Those judges are something else honestly!

This blame should rather be put on the shoulders of our 'brown envelope journalist' who can't ask the president serious questions when they meet with him.
All these 'plans' Buhari revealed outside the shore of the country were mostly response to the questions that those foreign journalists asked him. I don't understand why a certain tribe will just constitute themselves as an opposition out of God knows why. I hope that you people don't push this too far that will result to every other tribes to start to see you as an enemy of the State.

STANPASQUAL:
Your answer lies in d reasons behind d establishment of Customary Courts!!

Very interesting summary of an answer! I like that.

...'To serve with honour and glory'.

Jonathan just didn't want to stop the menace because he saw it as a Northern problem - because ' we no day like people from that side'- Patient Jonathan. So no body should tell me that the Boko Haram were more sophisticated than our military. May we never have a sectional president in this country.

Under Jonathan Nigeria was simply in an auto pilot! Can you imagine!

If what this man is saying is correct then, I am sorry that Nigerians does not understands what opposition politics means.

These are spiritual touts who only knows how to take credits in one's misfortune. But they will not boast on someone's progress who has done any act of good to them.
If they have such powers, why have so much poverty and under development ravaged their communities?
Mr. El- Rufai, continue your good work and respect nature by knowing when to rest and do your normal routine medical check-up.

Yes the Americans are free to pursue their interest following the Delwin's theories of revolution. But the Arabian countries are also free to use the Qoranic revelation to save their brethren from total annihilation. Instead, they are the covert financiers of the US. Or is it not clearly stated in the Qoran how one should protect his brothers?

As for me, I believe in the healing powers of God but certainly not the one men claims to have control over.
No man has concious control over these powers but God can sometimes manifest through them which they latter claim to be their powers. And this power can manifest through any body. I mean it, any body.
Every other powers they display consciously on the media or in public are carefully crafted illusions. Quote me anywhere!

lordtosan:
Nothing wrong in what he said. Bayelsa(ijaw) is a PDP state just as Lagos is an APC state. Unlike the APC Oba of lagos, he didn't threaten anybody will drown in the creek if they don't vote for PDP.

Do not compare an Oba to a former President please. There are better way to say such thing than relating it to a tribal party. Imagine that Obassanjo will come out and say PDP is a yoruba party or Buhari saying the APC is a fulani party. But a traditional figure can say that no problem.

No matter how black this man was painted, he was a very Factual man.
He told the West the truth.
He told the Arab guys the truth
And he told the Africans the truth.
That truth was too bitter in the ears of the imperialist in cohort with the Arabs.
So they schemed for his death.
May God Almighty fills his vacuum for us in Africa.

All I know is that Buhari mustn't sideline those 'bigwigs' completely. If he does that, then he should be ready to be betrayed by someone else in the future. Politics is all about interest and therefore he must also consider their interest so far it is not against the national interest. After all, they all risked their lives to get him there.
All in all sha; I don't take 'undisclosed sources' serious.

Human and corruption is just a replica of Yam and Goat philosophy. So it is just a normal thing- so our former president thought.

I am one of your silent followers on this forum, but I am sorry we are not in the same page on this one.
The whole blames should be placed on the arabs squarely. Reasons:
1 Arabs are the real promoters of war in their region due largely to supremacy battle between the Sunnis and the Shiite.
We are not going to delve too much on that. But I can assure you that that is the main problem in the middle East.
2 remember the distance between the US and Iraq: how possible is it for them to invade Iraq without the support of the Gulf countries(Arab countries)?
3 There is an adage in my place which goes; will you cut off your whole leg because you have a wound on your laps? So even if the west have brought war to them; does that make them to allow their own blood to continue to die just like that?
Let me tell you one thing: the arabs mostly spend their wealth to support radicalism in the name of religion and nothing more. If they spend their wealth in the uplifting of poor muslims, no muslims would have been poor today.

The blackman is the most forgiving of all human race.
I don't understand if it is too much belief in religion.
Is it poverty?
Is it inferiority complex?
Is it slave mentality?
Is it our geographical location?
...Just name it, I can't figure it out!
People will come, steal! Embazzle! Loot! Their patrimony; make them selves too powerful; use the money to make their children kings; use thesame money to subvert the law to suit any kind of anomalies;
Yet, you will see some people asking for 'Pardon' to be granted to such individuals.
Chai, na wa oo!

If this is true, there is 'pire' on the mountain!
