Okotie is relatively more qualified to be the president of nigeria than the band of rogues headed by obasanjo.

@Kiele,
pls don't let us castigate him only cos he is a pastor,
do that when he is wrong ,that i will agree.
will you say reversing that decision was right,?
b4 making that decision y didn't our Jonathan seek legal advice, first.

I wonder,not even a low class functioning household can take a drastic decision without considering the short and long term implications and advantages.It really portray the kind of government we have,they don't think anything through,hence the pathetic state of the country,

Not even a small time pepper selling woman can be so careless with her managerial decisions

[/quote]We have the manpower,we have the resources,we have enviable natural conditions but what we don't have is the leadership to channel innovations because our leaders use their di-cks for reasoning rather than their brains and everybody else seems to follow suit.

We are more natural endowed than britain and most countries in the west.

Corruption is a norm in nigeria because the executive,legislative and judicial arms of government in nigeria are corrupt,as well as the men in blue.It is more like a rogue state but we are not accepting it categorically for the fact that the masses are inherently conditioned to believe that the situation is normal,under normal circumstances,it is a lawless state.

[quote author=Aloy+Emeka link=topic=474923.msg6347318#msg6347318 date=1278538565]Poverty followed by  inadequate medical care. Mortality rate is also high among adults in Nigeria, if you must know. The recent reports claim that life expectancy among Northern adults are under 40 while the highest is the Niger Delta at 55.[/quote]It is high among adults because of the same reason why it is high among infants,poor medical facilities and health care as a result of irresponsible leadership

Nigeria is suppose to be one richest countries in the world,basic health facilities are not suppose to be our problems,if not that the politicians diverts monies that should spent on public facilities for their own greedy and ostentatious uses.That is why they should be held responsible for the death and destruction of ordinary nigerians

I think we should desist from blaming the ruling elites from all the problems associated with corruption in Nigeria. Ordinary Nigerians also share from the pie.[/quote]Why do u think they have high infant mortality in nigeria?Can u guess?

What are you talking about?Nigerian ruling elites are worse than the nazis,they are constantly engage in the the systematic extermination of unborn babies,children and nigerian adults,korokoro and nobody is seeing it.

He could be selling them for rituals.Mad people

This explains the high rate of infant mortality in nigeria as a result of irresponsible leadership,this is just two months accumulation of dead babies for one hospital in lagos and the unclaimed ones.We are not talking of the whole lagos,or the whole west,east,south and northern nigeria.

And people think nigerian politicians are not mass killers.

Abacha's family is suppose to be a fugitive family in nigeria because they are still in possession of our stolen loots,part of it his son is using to come back and loot more.

This is like a case of son of hitler contesting an election in germany,only in nigeria will such an abominable thing happen.

And here we are discussing the opinion of the wife of a monster.What difference will it make?

The true born nigerians need to immortalize Fela Kuti,he saw this situation decades ago and fought against with all he got until he was finally killed by the nigerian government.

This kind of situation is why 419 emerged.419 was born as a result of the corrupt practices of nigerian government and multinational companies like julius beger

The proceeds from the over inflated needs be lodged in a safe account abroad and that is where the mugu comes in to reap where he or she did not sow.

Never blame the player,blame the game.

While EFCC is ninety percent corrupt.

Some nigerians come to the uk or wherever in the western world and remain entwine with nigerian communities,which invariably means that their mentality remain the same as the one they left;church going,lousy weekly or monthly meetings where they gather for cheap gossips and fantasies and most of all the do or die quest for little cash.

I don't know why they can't see beyond cash,forgetting that the world is full of possibilities,it opens up as one chooses.

AjanleKoko:


London, UK, England, worreva . . . dundu brain like you, why not educate us bush Afrikkens

U are infinitesimal.Your brain is dead,no amount of education will make any difference.Educating u is like educating a chimp to recognize and memorize words and objects.

maybe sani lulu,sani kaita or sani yakubu should be seen like this dude below

That guy thought he was jesus but the germans trashed him like judas.He had the guts to even diss  the legendary PELE

Where is otimkpu beaf to explain why his mentor ''sissily'' gave in to fifa threat?He is a fucking sissy,caving in for the imperial fifa like a naughty child as if football is anywhere near nigerian problems.

A country of the blind.All they talk about is money without an of inkling of what money is all about,it is like money in the hands of pigs.

ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

See nonsense wey you dey type. Absolute gibberish.
Man, your brains have truy been fried.
London won't be able to help you, try further north, possibly Greenland. And stay there for the next couple of decades. Get some healing.

While u wallop in darkness that means light to u.U dom;t even know the difference betwenn uk and london.ode.

AjanleKoko:


I can see your brains are totally fried. Did you leave Maiduguri for London or something?

The fact is that people like u are so daft to see that u are not normal.Viewing your situation from a realistic angle puts u nest to nothing- a sub-human and that is why u can't see anything wrong because your brain is not on the level of a normal human being,it is just programmed to know and do certain things but not to initiate and evolve,your kind of person sees life in one dimension,like a color blind situation.

AjanleKoko:
Possibly . .  however, you continue to show yourself a total slowpoke by ignoring everything I said, all the examples I gave about people from hot regions creating and sustaining massive empires, while blacks from sun-less regions still supposedly achieve nothing.

Better go and study history properly before buying into nonsense from fringe experts who nobody recognizes. That alone helps to reinforce their theories that blacks are mentally deficient, if you can't reason out some dodgy theories before coming to spew it out here.
Or maybe you need some more years in England so your friend brain can heal up.

Does your gibbering still explain the fact why u are stu-pid or totally disprove the fact that it is not the sun and its radiation discomfort that is responsible?

Carry go,i will leave it for u to be pondering with since u don't have imagination.Every time u see the rising sun that u guys take for granted,think about its power,both negative and positive.It is the alpha and omega,it can destroy u if u don't acknowledge it and it can aswell bless u if you play its rules.

Beaf:
Point.

The key thing is that Critical Thinking is missing from our curriculum. If it was present, we would be able to overcome all the items listed above and redsun would have known instinctively that his insulting analysis should not even see the light of day.

From kindergaten to university, Nigerian education is based on rote and unquestioning obedience; you do not challenge the teacher, religion or the elders (in other words, we are trained to be mentally static). We are yet to totally overhaul the curriculum introduced by the colonial master, who was "educating" us to suit their own exploitative targets; whereas, in other countries, critical thinking is very much part of early education. For example, in several countries, chess is taught from a very young age to train youngsters in Higher Order Thinking skills; in others like China and Japan, mind disciplining aspects of their culture are brought to the fore and made the fulcrum of their societies.

African leaders on the other hand (out of ignorance or for reasons that suit their own "cancerous " purposes), are either suffering an identity crisis or not recognising the serious levels of damage a collective identity crisis can wreak on society. Therefore, nothing is being done and we continue to have adults running around without the tiniest analyctic skills and bringing up their kids to exist and stagger through life in the same way.

Now u are talking.Ok let's assume i didn't put it right but it is the same issue of not getting things done as adults with responsibilities,everything seems to be a problem to us,even when we are suppose to be ablebodied,rational and sometimes highly educated people yet,we still  can't solve mundane societal problems.

Soon another election will be at hand and we will be ushering same people that we know that they don't have the interest of country at heart,people that does not derive joy in making things right for posterity,people that cannot see beyond their noses,all they see is point in time,scavenging.

We had people like Pat Utomi at the last election but due to the distorted mentality that is abound in the society,nigerians opted for pdp sick puppet,yaradua,instead of a man with inspirations and great managerial ability even on a world standard,Pat Utomi.We need people that can make things work,it doesn't matter whether they have experience in politics or not but as long as they are positively and analytically minded,they will work it out.

It about responsibilities,it is about accountabilities and about dedication to duties,living off our wages and whatever incentives that we deserves in the course of carrying out our duties,not stealing the state and  people's  funds.   

Let's bury this thread if it sounds offensive and think and work in the line of progression and responsibilities as a people for the good and dignity of all,

@redsun
I guess what nobody pointed out is that your statement below about the state of the "African Brain" is just as patently wrong as your "theory" to explain it. Nothing is basically wrong with the African Brain, but if a "brain" doesn't eat right, doesn't have good health, transportation or education it would behave as if something is wrong with it. However, this does not translate into any irreversible solar-induced, biological shortcoming with the brain - provide good food, health, transportation, education, etc to the brain and watch it excel!

But it takes a funtioning brain to provide the basics.The brain creates the condition for excellence.If our leaders are the obstacle then we have to use our brains to push them aside and do what is right for us.

It is quite idiotic of you to say that the proponents of the theory are idiots when you don't have any plausible explantion to give as to why the brains of africans are coordinately,productively,contructively and progressively dormant.

Blaming it on bad leadership is as far fetched as expecting a cat to give bith to a dog which we all know is practically impossible,there is no way an unreasonable society can produce reasonable leaders and vice versa,it will always remain an unending vivious circle unless we begin to ask and aswer the fundamental questions as to why our brains and brain power are retrogressive instead of progressive as a society.A  people are main to move forward not bacward like we are doing.

It might not be categorically the damaging effects of the sun but we all know that something is fundamentally wrong,even though some of us choose to deny it.We must seek until we find,our journey as a people seems to have started from the middle,instead of the beginning and there seem to be a very big vaccum that is not connecting to the present and it feels as if we are lost as a people

The concept of living lies in the ability to know.,it is has to right for it to be right.

AjanleKoko:
Well, without descending into personal insults, I'd say without any equivocation that the proponents of this theory are idiots.

For your collective information, the climate in Southern Africa is closer to temperate than tropical. Right now, SA is in winter.
How come the blacks there are not smarter than blacks anywhere?

What about the Phoenicians, who gave the world the modern alphabet? The Sumerians (ancient Egyptians)? The Persian Empires? The Nubian empires in Sudan? The Moors who founded the Caliphate of Cordoba, and gave the world modern science and mathematics? I think we all know the story about the etymology of the word 'algorithm', for your information, it is derived from the name of a 6th century Arab mathematician. All these people were able to achieve what they did with their 'fried' brains, if I'm to believe what you're saying.

In fact on a lighter mood, for redsun, is it that your 'fried' brain woke up when you arrived at the UK?
As per Jakumo's comment, siestas are observed in France, Spain, and Italy. I suppose these nations are also in the tropics?

I was reading an article recently about Burkina Faso in BusinessDay. The country basically shuts down for a siesta for three hours at 1pm, and comes back to work at 4pm, ending the day at 7pm. If you went to boarding school in Nigeria, you would remember the forced siesta after lunch, till prep, for two hours. The inventors of these rules were not silly. Neither are the French, Spanish, or Italians.

Like paddy_lo said, leadership is a crap concept that doesn't belong in this century. You hear Nigerians talking about 'our leaders' like they were some God-appointed class of people separate from the citizens. Probably some concept sold to us by some colonialist academics, and swallowed hook, line, and sinker by black people. We need to wake up our minds and stop looking for geographical, social, or biological excuses.

Beaf:
You surely got the bolded right.
I have had such an entertaining time talking to a self confessed monkey, tears have been streaming from my eyes with all the laughter I've been having. Boy! Monkeys are really entertaining! Oya, come and dance kokoma!

Continue to laugh at your foolishness,since u live in a world where practical intelligence,honesty,hardwork and common sense are predominantly seen as taboos.Hardworking,rational and honest individuals are seen in the communities and places of work in nigeria as ''jews'' or distorted individuals,for mere the fact they cannot dubiously enrich themselves with the public or company funds that they are responsible for.

And u are one of the principal champions of that negative and retarded mentality,hence your keen interest in wanting a hoodlum like jonathan to be the one that will propel nigeria into a golden age,even when u don't understand the concept of stone age.Your stupidity knows no bounds,it is normal to u,that is why u have the guts to think that u are smarter than a monkey just because u can write and wear clothes,but u can't deceive people like me,it is categorically clear to the eyes that can see that u are a born fool and your redemption is far fetch.

manmustwac:
The African mans morals ethics and discipline is still evolving and could take another 2 to 300 years before we catch up with our white counterparts. Besides we are to close to our ancestors the apeman.

They think life is a bed of roses where they wave a magic wand and everything appears just because they are imperially enslaved.

Ibon united!!!
All the above, plus this. . . You are the [size=14pt]"least creature in animal!"[/size]

Charlie, you are very entertaining. But we expect high levels of entertainment from a self confessed monkey, sha.

U are a small minded nuisance man,i am not in your league.U are mentally and beastly enslaved

FL Gators:
L.O.L

So?

FL Gators:
ROTFLMAO. Oh sorry, I thought I was Chinese before.

Anywaz, no vex. I apologize for my outburst. Carry on with your theory.

With your kind of mentality,u don't know who u are,issues like this would have jolt your consciousness,but u are way too daft to comprehend and as always prefering to live in the vicious circle of ignorance instead of taking a bold step to break off the box

Beaf:
I wonder o! They say monkeys too have ambition!

I have adviced him to at least, make use of his muscles (since brain no de) and do things like carrying cement at construction sites, but usai! He wants to sit on NL waiting for people to praise him for talking very stupidly. Na wa o!

You must think u make sense with all the ogogoro talk u discuss here,local champion,ewu

FL Gators:
Are you minding the buffoon?
I guess I shoulda praised the crap  his peanut-sized brain  farted out. . . . would have satisfied his overblown ego.

Words are easy to repeat U are nothing but a disillusion black ''girl'',always a girl,taking the smooth part of disillusionment that ur coded brain can permit like ,the likes of beaf
