Politics / Re: Pastor Adeboyes's Private Jet A Must Read by santavista: 11:28am On Mar 26, 2009 |
@ post, I find it extremely surprising that elites can spend enviable tym condemning the acquisition of a private jet by RCCG. does being a man of God mean one should continually live in discomfort or penury? we are all human and our optimum desires either religious or not is to have/own the good things of life. Hw many people were there when the top echelon and pastorate of the RCCG were sowing tym, money, devotion and love to develop the ministry? What are the attributes of a growing ministry? he deserves a better reward. he has been a source of motivation to a whole lot of people. hw many of those throwing abusive and vituperous aspersions at Adeboye's person know him or have had the opportunity to relate with him on a one to one basis? thus why judge? why draw conclusions? we should be emotional as human beings bt not quick to outrightly condemn people. Many have said he fraternises with politicians because they attend services at the camp; does dat mean if they choose to attend the holy ghost services they should be turned back? sinners should be welcome to the house of the Lord, else there will be no need for an altar call. it is a plus dat dese men once in a while deem it fit to worship God. someday, someone amongst dem will be convicted rite dere and den. I am not defiant to good suggestions like a poster stated that a new highway can be constructed to connect the camp to lagos to ease traffic flow. This will be laudable by all if planned into church activities as giving back to the society where they belong. Irrespective of our judgements, I want to key ino the testimony of the RCCG and the General Overseer Pastor Adeboye. I pray the oil of grace which flows through the man of God will fill every entirety of me to do greater works. I pray to be a source of blessing to many others and also grow financially without bounds. Own private jets in the nearest future . Man cannot bless man. The poor will forever remain amongst us. But His favour and grace through time and chance will get us there. (Amen) Per adventure the otherwise is the case; as in Pastor Adeboye is not of God or he has lost focus of the original calling, I pray for the Holy Spirit to redeem his soul and return him to His kingdom. I aint a saint. I need a lot of spiritual rejuvenation thus I cant even afford to cast a stone. 1 Like |

Politics / Re: Mallam Ribadu Dismissed From The Police! by santavista: 6:45pm On Dec 24, 2008 |
@ post, in my candid opinion, the npf commission has not erred in any way with the action taken. he (ribadu) was found guilty of all the counts and charges. pride goes before a fall. you can never be above the constitution that brought you to power. obviously mr. nuhu went too far with the mantle as the anti corruption helmsman. Chukwuemeka Chikelu resigned when the office he held was becoming uneasy. two promotions in four months is gross irresponsibility by Obj. life goes on. nevertheless, the fg should have devised more mature ways of executing their action. the manner and way it was carried out looks too personal especially for a man who has been able to acquire public sympathy frm both within and abroad. wisdom is prfitable to direct. lesson for all. |

Politics / Re: Thinking About It: Obj Is Indeed The Best Leader Nigeria Has Had Since Indepenc by santavista: 12:55pm On Dec 08, 2008 |
@ Post, in my candid opinion, the word "best" is not to be used for any comparison of achievements of the past leaders. instead the word bad, worse and worst should be employed. for anyone to cross the fairly good line, considerable achievements in all ramifications must be seen. all of the above stated achievements of obj are minute to the damages and havoc he wrecked in 8yrs. d poor have remained poor. more strikes in our tertiary institutions ( i personally was a victim) still no power daylight robbery by telecommunications companies increase in crime rate increase in prices of grocery items and food items poor wages total decadence in the education sector depletion of federal roads (unable to recover till date) - Ore/Benin as an example victimisation of lagos setting up the EFCC as a personal medium for vengeance and intimidation approved genocides someone wit a better vision and style of governance would have transformed this country within those eight years. most of his economic policies were surface, not deep and not sincere enough thus we can see a gradual collapse. even his top helms anti corruption general (ribadu) cannot stand d test of time obviously because of the wack team (yaradull and co) obj maliciously, wickedly and forcefully put in place or maybe because of the skeletons in his (ribadu) cupboard too. tym wil tell. except the masses are adequately harnessed and accomodated in2 a better level of comfort, d polity tagged nigeria remains a failure in governance. he did his best but his best was bad enough. yaradull's administration was scripted by obj thus all blames still go to him. shelter - food - water - education - power (electricity) are key. till then all our leaders are wack. |

DavidDylan: LOL. Since you disagree vehemently with my proposal to remain civil. I implore and enjoin you to go in2 Jos and take revenge. Else, proffer or postulate what you think will end the condemnable act. Stop boring me with this bogus, sham and phony charade of solidarity. You definitely need to take the chill pill with me. I am not refraining you from embarking or undertaking your actions. Be careful and reply sensibly. Cheers |

DavidDylan: Jeez, Ar yu taking these posts personal? After spelling this in easy understandable terms. I am in deep shock. Is there any wrong in telling the north to stop their continous show of ignorance, illiteracy, hatred and accept every Nigerian as one? Have i said the Northerners should be patted on the back for a job welldone? Have I not reiterated that their actions are sad? You do not need to get cross with me if you read well and if truly you read my response to Quotesystem. We are all grieved. Maybe your solution is to seek vengeance. Blood for blood. Maybe the reason why I am preaching a one nation and end to violence is because I live amongst strangers. Those that caused the mayhem did not know that their people too will suffer because as we talk many indigenes cannot afford food to eat. I am very sad at your responses and kept my cool not to derail this thread from the purpose it was created for. |
Politics / Re: Northerner Kill Yoruba Corpers Leke Akande; Tola Odusola, Ibukun Akinjogbin by santavista: 4:51pm On Dec 02, 2008 |
DavidDylan: I am more sad reading this reply. You pick the least important of my response to quotesystem and you aggravate it. Kindly pick a line where i condoned the dastardly act carried out? What quotesystem is guilty of (tribalism) is what you are spearheading. I work with a multi national firm in the Naija Delta and I want to imagine how possible it will be for me to survive if they (the community i reside) decide to treat me as an outcast. You and I are learned so why reason lyk the common hawkers on the street. That we have leaders who know not their right from left does not mean we should tune our antennas same direction. This is the best forum for us to outrightly express displeasure at the continous gruesome treatment given to southerners but not to start an online tribal war. This is my message. This is all i mean as being one. |
Politics / Re: Northerner Kill Yoruba Corpers Leke Akande; Tola Odusola, Ibukun Akinjogbin by santavista: 4:41pm On Dec 02, 2008 |
DavidDylan: I am more surprised at your repeated sneering outbursts. I only contributed to this thread because of the lowly posts of Quotesystem. I also remember stating it is my 2cents thus not tentative that anyone should change his or her belief. Who says we (yorubas) can't continue to be good examples worthy of emulation. My citing Lagos is to show that tolerance is pertinent. Are you saying because today we are obviously not one, that i should denounce my friendship with that sensible Hausa pal? or I should stop relating with my Igbo friends? We might not be one today but I (personally) believe we are(gbam). Hatred is everywhere within same tribe and even between brothers. The message in my first post was to reprimand Quotesystem to eschew his emphasis on Yorubas. I believe in education. Not all those that pass through the system are educated. Only those who have been renewed in their mind and are willing to impart their generation. I am obviously not denying my gross naivety. I seriously seek to increase my knowledge base. |
Politics / Re: Northerner Kill Yoruba Corpers Leke Akande; Tola Odusola, Ibukun Akinjogbin by santavista: 4:29pm On Dec 02, 2008 |
@DavidDylan, I understand without exception your feelings and conclusions. Quite painful and condemnable. But we bear same name. Either overtly or covertly, coerced or willingly, knowingly or unknowingly. The truth is away from home (Nigeria), my brothers and sisters aint just Yorubas but all Nigerians. The farther i go from home, other nationals of nations in Africa close to Nigeria become members of my extended family. Hope you see the link and chain matrix. |

debosky: My brother, education is key. Let us pray for a geometric spread of knowledge to the north and there will be proper sensitisation on the effect of sub wars on friends and visitors. Lagos is multi-tribal in formation but a considerable amount of peace exists. There are Muslims and Christians in Lagos who co-habit peacefully. Until we regard ourselves as one this anomaly will continue. Peace |

I have lived in every part of Nigeria and I have been immensely blessed in no little measure. Nevertheless it is mai 2 cents. Presently I live in the Naija Delta, muti miles away from home(born yoruba). I can tell you I am once again at home. Someday e go beta. There is hope. I believe |

QuotaSyste: Friend, u are definitely versed like a pig livng in a hideous swine. Ur response and conduct to this heinous crime is shameful, reprehensible and ignoble. Ur mind is segmented typical of a despicable, unchangeable, rigid and myopic deluded hoodwink slowpoke. Have you ever thought of the possibility of a one nigeria? What do these peeps want from these harmless corp members? You obviously do not know what it means to serve one's fatherland. To answer your question, they were in Jos to serve their mandatory 1 yr service to the nation. Possibly as teachers to educate your brothers and sisters an easy task that your team fynds hard to undertake. The emphasis on their tribe is because they are serving outsyde their immediate environment. Thus it is a shame that your cohorts could carry out such a grievous and severe crime. Grow up boi. I wonder how some people will visit NLand and will still remain so ignorant, unintelligent, mundane, unpolished and excellently useless with mouths dripping wet with filth. If you are from the north, you should bury yourself in shame except you are illiterate and uneducated then you can be exempted and pardoned. I served in the north and i commend the civilised manner and ways of the educated elite amongst them. Take a queue from MC Usman, Mai Suya and other northerners on this forum who though ever ready to defend their ethnicity and tribe do that with an applaudable mien to their characters and person. I disagree with them most times but I still respect them. It aint about Yorubas, Hausas or Igbo. But Nigerians. Brothers killing brothers. We are one. Let these above reprisal to your post serve as a foundation to purge your insensitivity and herald a new beginning to your innate assembly and create a new intellectual vault base which you will fynd useful in the new year ahead . |

Politics / Re: Naval Officers Beat Up A Lady And Stripped Her - Watch Video by santavista: 10:43am On Nov 14, 2008 |
@ Sniper_mk, I read through your article and well documented defence on the base topic. I have a simple question to ask and a scenario which i want your response or contribution for. Treating mock cases are used in proper citadels of learning to simulate real life situations during high management trainees. CASE You are wrongly accused by your neighbour over what you did not do. He proactively claims you are the thief carting away other people's belongings in the yard/compound/estate (choice depends on you). Just yesterday night you caught the same man stealing and he begged you he would eschew his bad ways. The morning after he lays the allegation on you to checkmate if you would truly tell or keep his sins secret. This irrational behaviour got you angry and thus you pounced on him. He pounces back. You both engage in a mild scuffle which irrespective of the weakness of your blows resulted in the death of the man (ur neighbour). Does the law have the right to charge you for murder or manslaughter? Deep within you, it was an accident that occured on wrong accusation which you alone know. The truth is you will be charged to court. You have committed a serious crime. All you will be pleading for is leniency in judgement. Thus relating the above mock case to the real case study (the topic), the R/Admiral played to the gallery to have been unfortunate to have this stubborn, heady and brave babe on his right of way. The deed has been done. Imagine while dragging her she passes away? And that cameraman recorded it as contained on that short clip we all saw, and the story still remains that her demise was caused because she did not let the most revered Aro or his bodydogs their right of way. Let us detach our judgement from the persons or characters involved in this reality movie. But sensibly argue if it was right for a Nigerian to be so treated by another without having committed any heinous crime. More people are being harrassed by these miscreants in uniforms because nothing has been done since this incident happened. A journalist manhandled, a policeman killed by men of the same Navy all in a spate of 2 weeks. Whatever the devil or demon that possessed Uzoma on the said day must have been informed or sent by those unjustly treated by miltary men(Her pa inclusive) in the past. I still maintain that Oga Aro had an opportunity to save his head and receive an applause even after the beating which would have made Uzoma seem stupid for being stubborn or disrespectful to the sweet blarin of intimidating siren. All he needed to do was to stylishly calm her down, appease her with cool words at the same time advice her against her attitude. This would have silenced all of us. Instead he chose to ride in pride, arrogance and smugness. Boasting about how she would have been killed. Despite the fact that they were alone in the room. Tolerance is key. For a change in our society we must learn to accomodate other people's excesses. She received a price for her stubborness and intolerance(severe beating) the R/Admiral must also pay the price for his too. |

ajadrage: You have replied very well. Like I have earlier posted on this thread, even prior to my seeing the video, I terribly condemned the action of the Lady in question to have confronted those ranting ratings. But does that mean we can never enforce our fundamental human rights? Does that mean it is right for us to always live in fear even though the wisest thing is to continue to accept intimidation? I sincerely cannot do what she did because I will trepidate at the blare of the siren not to talk of seeing them an inch close to my vehicle. But someday it will end. I also stated that if we consider who her Pa is, then she deserves no sympathy from anyone because he is as guilty as Madmiral Aro. But that should not be our consideration. The clamour is for it to stop. I am still disgusted at the scene and picture on that short clip. Let us fear God. Those guys dragged that Lady. She never wriggled out of her dress. Uzoma has done what we all have been unable to do. From her interview you will see that the struggle is hers and her father does not seem to support her either. All praise to almighty God she is alive to tell the story. It is only in Africa that positions do not come with moral discipline. The higher you go the more you are allowed to behave with reckless abandon. At that level they should have been sensitive to know that such controversy will trail their actions. I care less about the 100million Naira damages she has sued for but for justice to be done. For the souls of all that have departed through similar ways and injustice. In Lagos you sincerely do not have to be stubborn to be maltreated by military or paramilitary personnels. What if it was a learner that was caught up in the traffic with those guys and he or she got stuck right infront of the convoy? Is it right to start whipping without asking questions or even attempt helping? No amount of defence put up by anybody or group of bodies can justify the action. Enough is enough. Nigeria media this is a wake up call. Nigerians are not animals. |

Sisi Jinx: I do not think you decoded that paragraph properly. I am amazed(astonished, stunned, shocked, startled), not that it is good nor that i condone the idea that someone will proffer such measures. The next sentence equalised the person with the bodydogs that beat up Uzoma. It is the person I referred to purge him or herself first. And so on and so forth till the end of the paragraph. Thus your reply was to concur with my view. I hope you understand now. Enigma:Thanx man |

@ Richblack, Thanks for the interview excerpts. This lady made a lot of sense. Her father even persuaded her to let it go. I am sure he had not seen the clip before compelling her. Oga Aro had a golden opportunity to salvage the situation and save his head by saying 'sorry' but blew it by saying 'you could have been shot'. There is absolutely nothing wrong with her demanding an open apology on the pages of the dailies. I am sure it will achieve results because others will be careful not to make such mistake again especially when all Nigerians have turned Paparazzi with the advent of camera phones. If the Nigerian government let this matter go unchecked and unresolved to a logical conclusion we will take it to the world press. This must stop. It must stop. I hate those words "You could have been shot" if truly he said it. Reducing humans to animals. It is only a pity that most of our media houses are owned by criminals whose sole objective is to make money by blackmail and pretence. This story should remain a headliner until a law is promulgated abolishing and barring any military man or politician from intimidating other road users. Once again the fight is not for Uzoma, but for every Nigerian. Who knows who is next? I also doubt if this was blown out because she is a big man's daughter. It was exposed because she stood up for a just though risky course. With the crowd and that clip it would have attracted same awareness and reactions, |

Chei Chei Chei I have just seen the video for the first time. Unbelievable, unacceptable, unimaginable, unthinkable. That young woman was just too helpless. Dragged and pulled by those things called humans. In short I am visibly shaken by that short clip. Kilode, kilolefa? Haba who said she pulled off her shirt willingly? That is untrue. They exposed her unclothedness. That alone is highly condemnable coupled with the fact that she was slapped and humilated too. Harry Arogundade must pay for this. I can imagine if she was my sister or wife. Please there is no such thing as defence for those responsible for this crime. The world demands an open apology. No amount paid as damages can erase this ugly stain and incident from our image. Shameless men on a poor girl. D girl be like SU self. Long skirt and blouse. chei chei chei |
