You'll realize those guys are mostly civilians or vigilante at best, I call it bravery at it's peak.
Then those ones have an excuse and cannot be blamed.

But as for this in the story:

"It was now close to an hour since the shootings had started and the anti-terror unit had not yet arrived."

Disgrace!

you will be shocked that some women will say they can't leave their abusers... Some say they still love them.[/quote]I have always advocated there is a subset of them that actually enjoy it even though they cry and scream domestic abuse.

The unexpected risky scenarios and the testosterone-driven animalism is sexy to them and makes them enjoy sex more.

I have met many girls with so-called horrific stories of ex-boyfriends that used to beat them but when they meet a new guy who wants to be nice to them, after testing him with disrespect and he was exhibited patience and consideration, they sack him or relegate him straight to friendship zone until they find a new baaastard that knows how to slap them.

FamilyRe: Life Expectancy Depends On Your Location by Sagamite(m):
speedyboi: That's because the rating is collated by some western i/diotic association made up of rednecks who think the way they live is the standard way of life everybody around the world should live. Maybe they should look into their high level of crime, genetically modified foods and other cancerous products they consume.
Another reason is Cos...Africa is made up of deluded idi/ots like yourself who will never have a mind of their own but to they follow follow about and joining associations (who though claims 'world this...', 'world that...' Are obviously western) instead of creating their own associations to favour them (but will also carry the tag 'world' and not 'Africa this and that....').

Hope you understand now?
What a person!

So you think this are some "rednecks" forcing their lifestyle on you?

So they are just trying to use this to tell you that "rubbish" that they live till 82 while you die at 50?

One thing you are definitely right about is that "Africa is made up of deluded idi/ots" exemplified by fucktards like you.

Cretinous products of a failed education system whose thinking faculty has rotted due to idleness.

Every girl always want to claim they are the one that "is different", but yet they are just the same.

The most likely way you could not be with someone like that is if you are ugly. Then your sense and need of "certainty of affection" and privilege of saying "I can get one too" is higher than that of "looking for a challenge".

If you are fine and desirable, you will most likely like them mean.

Why would I not curse people that do not have a brain. You don't know potential Zombies are a danger to society if they get into the hands of evil people?

Cretins don't ever want to listen to how things can be done better or well. No wonder Africa is so backwards.

It is such a struggle on the continent to get the fucktards to agree we should be the best we can be.

The other day, you were condemning the police for pointing his gun towards the ground while citizens were coming out of the mall, i think. Someone corrected you and you spiral out of control like an infected dog. Who told you he didn't minimize his brain. You think he just decided to crawl up there after seeing them immediately.

Your stupid porous didn't tell you that they probably came up with a plan with the "others" ad he didnt just walk up there to go save them to the point of endangering himself and others. I swear, people wey dey do you don kpeme, people wey go save you, them never born dem. oponu ayerada
You are a person. If you were not a person, you would realise I corrected the person.

If he used his brain how come he crawled there only to stand up when getting there without even bothering looking around?

He came up with the plans with others, and so? That would save them from a hale of bullets?

Cretin, it is obvious he likely came up with the plan with other unarmed people, no wonder he went there unarmed despite being a police officer. If the shooters had got there and seen him while he was careless, that is death to those people. But all that thinking is too much for your wee brain.

True point.

But as for "it only helps keep d rapport on while it's still hot", it is virtually up to her.

I am sure you have met Nigerian girls before? Even if you are a trained psychiatrist, you can't help most of them if their madness of over-self valuation kicks in and/or their inability to be good conversationalists leads to them using rudeness as a defensive mechanism.

Donlittle: It just sucks in life when someone sits behind the computer and condemn others for their bravery. That women could have gotten a heart attack from the sounds of gun immediately just like our very own defense minister or secretary. But she was brave enough to do what she did, and the police was brave enough to rescue them. I definitely know i cant risk my life to do that, 90% of people on Nland cant do that, but ppl like Saga want to condemn from their computers while eating MC Donalds on his sofa, whereas, someone your age is saving lives. When you get into this situation, let us see if your "medulla" will tell you to run while bullets are being sprayed or lay on the floor like you are dead.
You are a cretin!

If I had a gun, I would risk my life to do that. I have a morbid hate for fucktards, worse still wicked ones.

And if I did not have a gun, I would use my brain better to minimise the risk when I go and save them.

If my insistence of using your brain is what is pissing you off, then fck you.

More importantly, you are too moronic to note I have not condemned the woman. Next time use your brain when you read, at least you are not posting while bullets are being sprayed.

dont8: Yeah, I understood your points, at the bolded, don't forget we're talking about a woman here with children, possuming was what came to her head at that particular point in time; she must have seen people being short at and that terrifying state she is (she must have been frozen to her pant). I pray you don't get caught up in that kind of situation (we're talking of gun here...), as for me, my mind would have become blank, can't even imagine it the second time.
I definitely don't blame her. She was terrified to the bone.

No one wishes such horror near their children or would want that to end the dream of their children. She was terrified and that was the best she could come up with under such potentially fatal pressure.

I am just relieved they got out. They were one of those I wondered what happened to them after seeing pictures, so seeing a video of someone going to help them was a huge cheering up.

If it was my wife and kids I saw on the floor like that with some lunatics patrolling looking for someone to shoot and I was too far away from helping them, I would probably die of heart attack before I could even get there.

[quote author=Okija_juju][b]Nigga hush!!


I was being sacarstic, but since you want to go there...


A mall filled with mixed shoppers of different religous background.. The mall gets attacked by Terrorists.. Muslims are selected and allowed to leave, Christians are selected and shot dead.. Jesus was in Heaven chilling and watching his 'Disciples|Children|Followers|sheep|or whatever other fancy name you Christians tag yourselves with.. being shot dead. And he did nothing. I didnt see Jesus with a Gun breaching the Mall, I didnt see a miracle either of dead christians coming back to life, I didnt see any of those fancy protection the bible promises Christians.. YET you can come into this thread to talk of religion and Jesus!!

When your Christian God kills off Sodom & Gomorrah, The Egyptian first borns (that provided his almost starving to death Children of Isreal shelter and food during a famine), killed off the original inhabitants of Isreal (the promised Land), the people of Jericho, e.t.c... You people were cool o! You even still read those passages today in your assemblies and count it as credit to God. But 1 or 2 Pigfucking terrorists (who just so happens to be of the Islamic fate) shoots up a mall, you Christians will be quick to call Allah & his Prophet Mohammed (SAW) names..


Hypocrisy is part of what is destroying us as humans.. ALL RELIGIONS ARE EQUALLY BAD!! Whilst you people are pointing fingers at Al-Shabaab, the National Liberation Front of Tripura are still killing people in the name of Christ... Do you also remember Anders Behring Breivik the Christian crusader that killed 77 people in the name of Christ?! Injuring 150+ people as well?! AND not forgeting the Klu Klux Klan.. Those people have killed more Niggas & Jews for Jesus than Al-Shabaab can ever kill for Islam..






My guy abeg take back seat, wear selt belt there.. angry

This thread is not to be tainted by religion.. The Muslims of Kenya and others around the world have strongly condemned the mall shooting. Leave it at that.

Islam is as much a religion of Peace & Christianity is a religion of peace. angry[/b][/quote]This is rubbish.

All religions are not equally bad.

They all have their good and bad side, and generally are all quite useful.

But Islam is definitely the worst of them all. Lets not be diplomatic or mince words.

It has a good part and can definitely be followed responsibly but it is the worst of all major religions by all un-bias, civilized and enlightened rankings.

They are all poor. I am sure ours are more poor.

I commend them but surely would not say they did a fantastic job.

If I was President of that country, you would be guaranteed an inquiry in a few weeks.

In my world, the officers would most likely end up being commended for bravery but their superiors would surely be fired. Very poor training and planning.

dont8: You're right Ayo, her effort at possuming really paid off, she should be commended for her bravery @Okija Juju.
To be blunt and honest, I am not seeing any bravery in it.

I am just happy and delighted they got out fine. If the shooters had seen them, I don't think it was convincing enough.

The first time I saw their pix, the first thing I said in my head is "Ah-an, there is no blood. Surely they are not dead. ...........Oh, they are playing dead!!! Oh men, I hope these arsewipes never find them and these police guys can go and get them".

If a shooter had seen them, 3 people on the floor "dead" without any blood? I am sure the shooters are fucktards, but not that type of fucktards. It would really be left to the shooters conscience what happens next, which might have upset us all.

One thing I have learnt in hindsight seeing this is that, if I was ever unfortunately in these position with my family and we are yet to get out of the building, the first thing I would do is that I would find someone injured or dead and rob their blood all over my family. So when we need to play dead, it would be a little convincing.

When we get out, I can always have a shower to wash off the blood on Earth, not in Heaven.

Babes, if the place was that secure, then the police would not be sending an unarmed man, crawling on the floor to help this helpless family. They would go with at least 3 armed officers to evacuate them.

You are strategically positioned on top floors would not stop terrorists, who are shooting anybody they see and are willing to die, from shooting people on the lower floor.

plaetton: Another simple question.
Who committed the first act of disobedience and usurped the blissful paradise of peace of both heaven and earth?
Was it the Satan or Adam?

If it was Satan, common sense would have required God to shield the newly created earth, especially impressionable newborns like Adam and Eve, from the influences of Satan .
To have allowed that to happen would have been gross negligence of the highest form.

Even more absurd is the fact that the impressionable newborns are thereafter punished for an event that should not have happened if the right measures had been taken.

Even more absurd is that the innocent offsprings of Adam and Eve are condemned for eternity for no sins of their own , but for the lapse in judgement of the first Babysitter.
The God of virtually all religions, especially the major ones, definitely lacks common sense.

RomanceRe: Why Sex Should Be After Marriage by Sagamite(m): 6:38pm On Sep 26, 2013
Another crap-ful write-up of unsubstantiated junk some goon has thrown out there as an axiom.

wandevincent: 1,Sex is a powerful force that can destroy if not used properly. Like atomic power, sex is the most powerful creative force given to man. When atomic power is used correctly it can create boundless energy; when it is used in the wrong way it destroys life. Sex is the same kind of powerful force. Sex is a gift from God to give us the greatest pleasure, to help in creating a deep companionship with one's spouse and for procreation of the next generation. But if you play with this powerful force outside the bounds of marriage, it destroys you and those close to you.
So I should wait for some bloody marriage before I have the greatest pleasure.

Really?

wandevincent: 2, Sexual activity for young people arrests their psychological, social and academic development. Studies show that when young people engage in premarital sex, their academic performance declines and their social relationships with family and friends deteriorate. This is because adolescents are too immature to deal with the explosive sex drive and it tends to dominate their life.
Which quack studies?

wandevincent: 3, The majority of women cannot enjoy sex outside of the bonds of marriagea. The development of a fulfilling sex life needs the security and peace of the marriage bond. Premarital sex usually takes place sneaking around in hidden places dealing with the fear of being caught, the fear of pregnancy and feelings of guilt.b All these (worrisome) factors undermine pleasure in premarital sex, most especially for women.
a) How is that my business?

b) Only if you are still young, building up or plainly that pathetic to still be living with your parents. Not every single person lives with their parents and need to sneak to hidden places to bone someone. Some apartments are boudoirs.

wandevincent: 4, Virginity is to be given to the most important person in your life, the person you committed yourself to stay with forever in marriage. Your virginity is the most precious thing you have to give to your spouse. Once you lose it, nothing in the world can bring it back. Don't lose something so precious in a thoughtless way.
In your deluded world.

wandevincent: 5, Those who engage in premarital sex run a high risk of contracting one of the many venereal diseases rampant today, as well as losing their fertility. Not just AIDS, but other common disfiguring diseases like herpes have no cure.
You have never heard of condoms. The pleasure from the safety when using condom is worth the risk and far more fulfilling than the miserable life of a foool maintaining chastity because of fear disease.

Roll n Rock is the philosophy, any 999,999 out of 1,000,000 times, you will be fine. Roll that gaddam shyt on your stick and rock her world.

wandevincent: 6, Some venereal diseases have no symptoms and many couples discover many years later that they became infertile because of these diseases. Infertility experts estimate that 80% of today's infertility is due to venereal diseases contracted before they married.
Another nonsense apocryphal "study"?

wandevincent: 7, The best and only method that guarantees 100% against AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases is to wait for marriage to have sex and maintain fidelity in your marriage.
The best and only method that guarantees 100% frustration in life and an experienced expert banging your partner after you marry is to be celibate. grin

wandevincent: 8, Premarital sex breaks the 10 Commandments given by God. The 10 Commandments are given to man by God to make man happy. They are not outdated and they are not restrictive. If we follow these laws, we can create happy and prosperous lives. If we don't follow them, we will pay a heavy price in divorce, disease, abortions, illegitimate children and loneliness. Modern men make a big mistake when they think that they can break these eternal laws and not suffer consequences.
Fck your commandments if it tells me not to bone.

wandevincent: 9, Premarital sex runs the risk of conceiving illegitimate children. Numerous scientific studies show that the children of single mothers suffer psychologically and are less successful socially and academically than children from intact families. Above all, children need both their father and their mother. It is wrong to risk having children who will never have their father's love, protection and care.
I praise God for making me escape this so far.

Modupe, Baba! (I am grateful, Father)

wandevincent: 10, If you date and you don't have sex, you can forget about that relationship when you stop dating. But if you have sex with those you date and then break up, the nature of sexual involvement creates strong, often unpleasant memories for your whole life. Every relationship you break up where you had intimate relations is like a mini-divorce. The psychological difficulties of these mini-divorces does damage to your character. Later, when you are married and go to bed with your beloved spouse, these unpleasant memories will accompany you.
Actually, I look forward to the new sex and don't reminisce on something I have had my fill and I hav chosen to walk away from. What will accompany me to marriage bed is experience.

wandevincent: True love waits. If a boy or girl truly loves you, they will want the best for you. They will not want you to suffer fear of disease, unwanted pregnancy and the psychological difficulties of premarital sex. They will want to experience love with you only in the very best place of all - the love nest of marriage.

FamilyRe: Lamentations Of A Nigerian!!! by Sagamite(m): 10:10am On Sep 26, 2013
A shithole that does all it can to frustrate your life:

http://www.punchng.com/opinion/a-night-at-a-lagos-police-station/

A night at a Lagos police station

The telephone call came in the middle of the night, rousing me rudely from a deep and exciting sleep. I had slept very early the previous day having had a very exhausting afternoon. As a routine, I had ensured that my mobile phones were put in the silent mode. But on the fateful night, I had forgotten to change the tone. So, when the stringent Nokia tune broke the eerie silence of the night, I cursed under my breath. As I fumbled around in the Power Holding Company of Nigeria-induced darkness, I had wondered who could be calling at that ungodly hour. In my drowsy state, I answered the call. Then, I recognised the voice at the other end to be that of a neighbour. He frantically told me he had been arrested by the police for wandering while returning from work.

According to him, he was standing with other commuters at a bus stop when a police patrol truck screeched to halt in front of the bus station. They were standing in an endless wait for a bus. In a flash, gun-totting policemen alighted and ordered them at gun point to enter the back of the truck. Inside, he met other victims of the brutality that has come to define the Nigerian Police. He said that out of fright, some of them attempted to flee. But the police threatened to shoot them. They were all taken to the police station amid pleas of innocence. I had known the young man for over a year. I know him to be a struggling young man who worked as an unskilled hand in a Chinese factory around town. I knew he kept late nights due to the nature of his job. He also worked shifts. This makes him arrive home at odd hours. When the call came, I did not doubt the veracity of his story.

According to him, at the time of their arrest, the policemen also made several arrests along the way. Then, they drove to a secluded area where they stopped their vehicle. Then, they went into a round of negotiation with the suspects. They told those who had money to bail themselves. Those who could afford their charges were quickly left off the hook. One guy with an expensive wrist watch was said to have traded it for his freedom. But other unlucky victims like my neighbour who had only their transport fares were driven, like condemned criminals, to the cell. There, the officers encouraged them to call their relatives. The other option was to be clamped into the dingy cell where they would spend the night until they are bailed the next morning.

By the time he hung up the phone, I had become fully awake and disturbed. Knowing the antecedents of the Nigerian Police, I was worried that the boy could either be shot as an ‘’escapee’’ armed robber or framed up on trumped up charges. Just like many unlucky Nigerians, he might also end up being charged for a crime he knew nothing about and clamped in jail or awaiting trial. I was also upset at this gross violation of an innocent citizen’s right- a clear case of police brutality. The police are known for indiscriminate arrests of people under a so-called wandering law which has been abolished. But some unscrupulous officers in Lagos still engage in the illegal act. This random arrest is widely known as ‘’roger”. They often carry out the arrest in low income areas. Their targets are poor and defenceless citizens who have neither the financial nor social connections to defend their rights. This action, which has been condemned by Nigerians, amounts to the breach of people’s freedom of movement.

That said, I instantly made a decision to go to the police station in spite of the risk involved. First, because it was too late in the day and the fear of being brutalised by renegade officers was real. However, I thought that was the least I could do for this humble and hardworking young man. I roused another neighbour and we both went to the police station together. The scene I met at the station was shocking. Scores of unclad young men and women sat on bare floor speaking frantically on the phone. They were calling their families so as to avoid being hurled into the cell. Another shocker: I overheard policemen offering to help those arrested to buy call cards so they could contact their relatives! One policeman, who seemed to be the one coordinating the show of shame, bellowed at a young man who had all the while been protesting his innocence: “You, this stupid boy, you think na only you fit speak grammar, abi? You go sleep for cell today, mosquito go finish you. Stay there dey blow grammar make you no call your people. You go die for cell”! I observed a young woman making brisk business selling call cards at the gate. Even at that time of the night!

The station was a beehive of activities. As I made my way among the throng of men and women sitting on bare ground even outside the large compound, I spotted a patrol truck screech to a dusty halt at the entrance of the main building. A number of policemen alighted, cigarettes dangled between their lips, and their guns facing the sky. They looked like drunken pirates. Another set of ‘’suspects’’, both young and old were pushed down from the vehicle and forced to join those waiting at the counter. I soon located my neighbour who was visibly relieved having caught sight of me. I told him to calm down as I was determined to push my luck with those brigands called policemen in Lagos who are constantly breaching the fundamental human rights of poor residents. I approached the Investigating Police Officer and asked to see the Divisional Police Officer.

He demanded that I identify myself. I declined, insisting I would only identify myself to the DPO. He became alarmed and went to consult with the Commander of the Patrol that had arrested my neighbour. In Lagos, bravado and self-confidence if properly used with the police could work in your favour. I was told the DPO was not available. I disclosed to them that my neighbour, who was coming back from work, was arrested in error and demanded his release so he could go back home with me. I insisted he’d be released without any charges or I would wait till the DPO returns. The police officer in charge hesitated for a while. He did not know what to make of the situation. He was not sure how connected I was. I thought I saw hesitation in his eyes! Did they panic knowing they could have had the wrong man? Since they could not explain why the young man was arrested. I stuck to my guns and demanded his release.

The officer later backed down

He told me to identify the “suspect” among the lot. I insisted he was not a suspect as he had done nothing wrong. He was released to me without bail even as I observed money exchanging hands between families of those arrested illegally. It was shocking to see these glaring abuses of people’s rights which have become a norm at various police stations across Lagos.

Why would police officers on patrol arrest residents at will even when they have identified themselves as law abiding citizens? How does returning from work constitute an offence of wandering? Why do the police physically abuse innocent people, kicking and slapping them as I observed in the police station that night? My neighbour told me the officers refused to show their identification cards. One drunken officer even threatened to shoot if they continued the protest. I walked away from the station feeling a sense of anger.

With friends like the police, who needs an enemy?
This is in a popular national newspaper, and I can guarantee you nobody in the senior tiers of the police force, nobody in the government and nobody in the criminally-looting legislative arm would bother to investigate this or find the culprits.

And some fucktards that live in Nigeria would be trying to insult those living in sane countries as having a sad life? What a joke! grin

AHHH!

Ole-depo would have to increase tithe payments of the congregation to continue fully enjoying his private jets.

Imagine having 3 private jets and being a frequent flyer with your family. That could easily come to about $18,000 per month.

He would have to get more magas and mugus in his church to pay.

swiftycool: For your information oga, Most of the leaders involved in the rot of Naija are still presently in power or around the corridors of power and most of their kids are away in other countries laughing at those impoverished by their parents, so your karma logic to me doesn't hold much water.
I schooled in the UK after saving money for years. while working to pay my fees in the Uk i discovered especially within central and greater London that most of the students living lavish yet not working while studying in UK were children of present leaders or past Nigerian leaders involved in this rot, i even used to help clean the car and mow the lawn of one Nigerian legislators house for some extra cash while his kids, 4 of them played playstation and Xbox all day!


only a not too smart person would compare these two, in Naija you can't earn up to minimum wage cleaning toilets anywhere, plus you would be ridiculed by your own people as if u r being punished by God, whereas in UK you make up to £10 an hour as a standby attendant cleaning a night club toilet and working 8-10hrs overnight everyday. Now check this, for a year after tax and expenses you can go home with £23,000 which is equivalent of N5.8 million. Mind you, in Uk you are treated as every other employee, with holiday allowances, discount coupons on some hotels, supermarkets etc just as a toilet Cleaner! No wonder some quite senior Naija bankers are hapilly cleaning toilets today in UK. lol

As per cleaning soakaway, in UK clearing blocked sewers is a specialized job and if you are licenced to do it, you can charge as much £25 per hour! sebi you sabi maths? oya begin calculate........
Brilliant response to a stewpid postulation.

dasparrow: @Post

I understand your frustration. I think that it is Nigerians who are the problem. The country is such a shyte hole because the people themselves are not good either. Most Nigerians are fucktards,nasty, rude, greedy, lack human compassion, have the tear-them-down syndrome in them, are self-centered and only think about themselves. Nigeria is nothing without Nigerians because a country is not made up of just trees and soil. It is the people that make up the country we know as Nigeria that are the problem. Why is there corruption in Nigeria from top to bottom? It is because the average Nigerian is inherently corrupt. Why is there tribalism in Nigeria? It is because the average Nigerian is inherently tribalistic.

Go to any office in any of the ministries in Abuja and see the way most Nigerian civil servants treat people who come to their office for one thing or the other like crap. When it comes to employment, jobs are not given according to merit but rather according to the connections one has, what tribe one belongs to, what religion one belongs to, etc. I left my base in the USA to come and take part in the NYSC scheme. I also wanted to see if Nigeria has changed for the better. However, after almost a year here in Nigeria, I came to the realization that this is one country that I would not want to live in. Not even in old age. The average Nigerian is rude, knows nothing about customer service, only respects people he/she perceives to be rolling in money or is an 'oga at the top'.

Nigerians are quick to blame our leaders but I think that the Nigerian citizens are equally to blame. The fucktards, who make up majority of the population, would be the first to defend their useless leaders verbally and even physically, if required, when people condemn these leaders only because the leader is "from my region/tribe" or even their rogue pastor. They celebrate mediocrity because their country and environment is such a huge shithole they are looking for anything, not matter how rubbish, they can find pride in, no matter how ridiculous and moronic that pride is. Some of these fucktards who cannot get out of the country to reside abroad now moronically try to insult others that are in sane countries by saying their life is horrible, when it is these fucktards that live in a cesspit. The citizens are obsessed about marriage and how they can overpopulate the already overpopulated cesspit called Nigeria further. How can one have hope in a country like Nigeria where militants are sent abroad on full scholarship while law abiding citizens are languishing away due to incessant strikes? Common uninterrupted electricity, clean running tap water, good roads, good infrastructure, Nigerians cannot boost of in 2013. Is it any wonder why the country is in the mess that it is?

Even the reputation of Nigerians worldwide is in the gutter. Everywhere we go - from Africa to Europe to South and North America to Asia - people don't trust Nigerians. This is because many Nigerians misbehave in their host country because we have developed a culture where we see being crooked and cheating others as a demonstration of being "smart" and our people think that just the way anything goes in Nigeria is the way anything goes in other saner climes/countries. All I can suggest to you the OP is to see if you can save up money and then leave Nigeria or see if someone will be willing to marry you so that you can cross over to a more conducive nation or society. Nowhere in the world is perfect or easy but best believe that some countries are definitely better than others. When you start living in other nations even within the African continent, you will begin to realize just what a hell hole Nigeria indeed is, while we moronically call ourselves "Giants of Africa". The Nigerian nation does its utmost best to stifle you in ever being able to achieve your potential.

All the best!
