F00028: alright then. what's a better way? a better system, religion...whatever?

dvee2: We must all speak out against this type of discrimination against women. I am not in support of prostitution,but the way a woman dress alone is not a criteria or justification for labelling a woman as soliciting for sex. Somebody must do something about this.

deshclones: N1ggah..who released you

F00028: Islam is not head in the clouds pacifism. it preaches peace and the need to prepared because no matter how you may want to coexist peacefully with your neighbours, you can't make them adopt the same attitude.

porka: "Topshot to the president" because of how many kilometer bridge sir?

What would northern governors, who built airports and universities in completely arid land, be "topshot" to?

May be "topshot" to "world presidents", perhaps.

Congratulations to Fashola on the about to be commissioned bridge.

ijebabe: Ur a real a s s hole

ijebabe: Wow Sagamite, that was very harsh!

swoosh: I dont quite understand why some people feel Abacha should not be immortalized in Bayelsa- especially if the state government chooses to do so. Ibrahim Badamosi Babaginda is the most wicked leader to ever lead Nigeria- yet he is celebrated in some quarters today in Nigeria

Somebody needs to itemize Abachi's sins here so we analyze vis-a-viz other Nigerian leaders

Oya....

ijebabe: Nollywood actress Dorothy Njamanze was assaulted by the Nigerian Army Force by 9pm a couple of days ago, Nollywood Gossip said.

The beautiful activist, who is currently receiving treatment at an Abuja hospital, tells Delia Innoma (Live Online With Delia) how disappointed she is to be a victim of what she has been fighting against.

This is what she had to say:

“On my way from the ambassador for peace beauty pageant held at the Sheraton Hotels, I decided to check on my brother at the end of my street. I parked my car in front of Dreams Garden at the end of my street behind one bus, and was going in to see Ugo (my brother) when a man dressed in a man-o-war uniform appeared from nowhere and shoved me on my breasts, commanding that I get into the bus I parked behind.

“I reprimanded him for touching my breasts but instead of apologizing, he continued to pushing me by my breasts towards the bus, so when I couldn’t bear it anymore I pushed him too and started running away.

“Three men wearing man-o-war uniform and a head warmer, no name tags, and two plain clothes policemen ran after me. When they caught me they descended on me, beating me mercilessly despite the fact that I was screaming who I was.

“A girl who was waiting for me in my car, after waiting for a while and didn’t see me, came down to go and look for me at my brother’s place. She was horrified to see all those uniformed men assaulting me and trying to force me into the bus.

“She started pleading with them, telling them who I am and even showing them my car keys, but all to no avail. She started screaming when she thought they were going to kill me and that attracted people’s attention.

“When crowd gathered and people started recognizing me, there started coming to my rescue and there was almost a mob attack. A soldier out of fear cocked his gun and said he’ll shoot me if I don’t enter the bus.

“What hurts most is that I’ve been fighting against violence against women, and now I’m a first victim of it. I have over 70 cases of abused women on Abuja streets.

“The team that assaulted me tried to escape. I chased them down to area 10. Ugo found me there and another soldier cocked a gun, pointed at his tummy and threatened to shoot. A female soldier cocked her gun and pointed at Justina, the girl in my car, who was supposed to be on my show (ability talk, earlier in the day on love 104.5fm). Apparently the female soldier wanted to shoot Justina for having piercings on her face, because she said Justina was not a true Nigerian by that.

“Women have been randomly abducted and forced to confess to prostitutions by AEPB in conjunction with the questionable NGO, Society Against Prostitution and Child Labour.

“I have over 70 cases against them and now I’m a victim. Women are not safe in Abuja.

“The Military should be put to better use. It’s high time they pay for the damages they have been causing. I am so traumatized. Having cocked guns pointed at us is a mental image that tortures me.

“Government needs to hear us out, get facts and figures and stop the abuse against women. I wish the national assembly will permit me make a full presentation on the degree of this violence against women in Abuja and act immediately on it.

“I have rape victims, bullet injury victims, people beaten out of their jeeps at gunpoint whose names were published as prostitutes in national dailies, abused youth coppers… all sorts of traumatized victims. These people need rehabilitation at difference levels urgently.”

Well, we hope the government is reading because the worst kinds of violence are those against women and children.

Abagworo: There is nothing to justify treason. Absolutely nothing. An aggrieved person has the court of law and peaceful demonstration. Even if Abiola won the election two regimes (IBB and Shonekan) before Abacha, it was already late and over. Shagari and Balewa cannot come to declare themselves President because they were ousted in 1966 and 1983 and were yet to complete their respective tenures.

taharqa: hahaha....keep yr mouth shut 'silly' Coward, lol.....no need responding to this topic cos its just d @OP's word( ie the source while merely stated was not shown), and giving d penchant 4 propaganda and frivolities by a small set of 9jarians recently, i comment my reserve. However, there are many really silly ppl on NL whose only job is to pound away at any move of govt( any move whatsoeva )- they are d 'Pledgers' , some of whom have already commentd here and some odas would surely make dier comments later. This is the kind of topic that gives them and substain an erec.tn

Abagworo: So if someone or a section of the country feels their kinsman won an election and it was annulled, does it justify treason? Abacha was too lenient, otherwise a lot of all these Southwest heroes of today would have been charged with treason and executed. If he was not lenient why didn't he execute Abiola?

The Niger Delta I meant is the core Niger Delta which consists of creeks from Delta to Rivers State inhabited mainly by Ijaws and not the extension which includes Imo, Abia, Upper Rivers, Upper Delta, Ondo, Edo, Akwa Ibom and Cross river States. Abacha had these people in mind in his scheme of things.

uncleb: Let me pay you back in your own coin?

Why would u not believe that there was no transparency?

Why would you not believe that the dude never paid a penny?

Why would u just chose to believe that something shady never happened.

Can you you think right , haven't you heard of professional skepticism?

My problem with some NL users is that when someone comes out with a brilliant argument, you will still see pple coming out to show their sheer ignorance.

Who told you that being positive means believing everything people said hook line and sinker? Worst thing when there are no verifiable facts presented.

Why were we not told how much cash he paid in cash settlement, which account was the payment made into and from which of his businesses? why were specifics of the asset given not provided.

Please think twice next time before you open your mouth to insult intelligence.

doctokwus: Share holders lost N51b? U are being overly optimistic;shareholders are likely 2 av lost everything.When u know dere is no substance but fraud involved in dis so called repayment is not necessarily d secrecy in which its shrouded,but d incredible fact(falacy to any knowledgeable person) dat any business concern will repay almost $1b in in one fell swoop.Evn d biggest of conglomerates don't do it,unless wen d company is liquidated.What any govt establishment or bank concerned wt debt management looks for is proof of ur ability to service ur debt,i.e,paying d interest arising from it,because dey know once u pay everything in one fell swoop,u literaly cannot kp ur biz going,which affects d rest of d economy.Repayment core,borrowing ni,awon 419

tonte: Mere soldier? A General in any country is never a poor person o, and besides at the time he became a General, Nigeria just got into an economic boom and he spread his investments far and wide!!!!

virusdacramil: Nigeria beware....another Gooluck in the making...seems nothing good comes out of that part of the country..except Militants,Alamiesia and Badlucks??

carefreewannabe: "Me, me, me" (selfish) mentality of men

seguntijan: hello, mind you there are problems everywhere in the world except the city of mecca and medinah in saudi. I also want to tell you that those islamic countries where we have war are been caused by the West[AMERICA] because of their oil. America will support Isreal against Pakistan so that after their victory she will have a share in Pakistan oil this is what happen in Libya also and we all know the politics behind Boko haram to de-stabilse Jonathan admin. Islam preaches peace, but most muslims doesnt pratice what the Quran teaches as most christains doesnt pratice what the bible Preaches.

saudatu: Why mr garri! Consider him ur father wil u which him death?
