I would have raised an eyelid if Gani had accepted the National Honor.

Nice one!

scottn,
no matter how blurred the images i have created here, the most important thing is if they are true or false.
if our house is not a role model, whose house is? america or iraq?

in line with ur questions, bush continued a gulf war of 1990 which was stopped by UN with an agreement that sadam will give the un inspectors free hands to inspect the whole country over which sadam refused till bush came to power.
bush pushed sadam to accept untill he now told sadam to quit. if yhou have been looking at iraq's elections in the past, sadam used to win 100%
if the anti bush camp is saying that america went to iraq bcs of oil, they have refused to tell us what they wanted from afghanistan.
the case of 9/11 has been established and we can all trace the masterminders.
iraq is been built for future. a future that will not have saddam. a future that will make iraqis have their say in the governance of their country. nothing good comes easy as there is always a prize to pay. my prayers and that of everyother person is that iraqis will begin to think of future and wait patiently to reap the fruit of this sacrfice they have made and only then will the streets and important places will be named after bush who future will call their liberator.
brother,
if you are not in support of dictatorship, what is your solution? u can use zimbabwe as a case study.
for the victims of 9/11 u say may their souls rest in peace and i would want to ask you directly, is that enough? will u say the same thing if you are affected?
could you please close ur eyes and see the bread winner of ur family as a victim of such madness. would you want have a round table conference with the masterminders? would u suggest a negotiation forum with such killers? my prayer is that we will not be victims but we must remember that those victims and the affected members of their familes are human beings like us.
FROM THE DAYS OF JOHN THE BAPTIST, THE WORLD SUFFERETH VIOLENCE AND IT IS ONLY THE VIOLENT S THAT TAKETH IT BY FORCE.

I'll take ur point 1 by 1
1. First of all didn't the inspectors finally inspect Iraq and when they did what did they find? Didn't they recommend that USA shouldn't invade Iraq?
2. Afghanistan was just a pawn to show that they were really against terrorism. They were really after Iraq and its oil. Why were so many notable American figures against the war (Obama inclusive)?
3. Invasion is never the solution to dictatorship. Its against the laws of the UN (go check ur history)
4. As 4 9/11 victims, y is it difficult 4 u 2 say that its a price US has to pay to expose the US govt?
May such calamity never befall us now and forever!

the growth and progress of nigerians and africans are in the hands of God.
we have refused to embrace the truth which is the only way out.
why is no one here talking about sending obj to hague for the killing of people of two different villages? why is no one talking about the day to day killings in zimbabwe? why are we not interested in the high rate of self inflicted poverty all over africa?
how mad is it that people have overlooked the death of 2975 innocent people on sept 11, 2001? why is no one after the death of innocent iraqis in the hands of sadam hussain? what about rwanda and brundi, liberia and siera leone?
weak minds discussing a great nation like america, the dream of everyother country.
if i have my way, i will do more than bush had done. what is the rationale behind 9/11? who are behind it? what about bali bombing? what about day to day bombing aimed at american interests before and after the bush administration. the world worshiped clinton bcs he always overlook the bombings but if we want to be realistic, till when and how long will that last?
the best form of defence is attack and we shld know that any govt that suffered such attack will be forced to react at least to defend the citizens that voted him into power.
who among us here is saying bush was surposed to fold his hands and wacth the americans die one after the other in the hands of those who call themselves terrorists?
india lost about 300 people in such attack a couple of weeks back and has responded immediately so also will every govt do and face the wrath of his own people.
if anyone is blaming bush over his response to the 9/11 then i pray that your family members become victims in the next attack so that we will see your own reaction to that.
the riots in the northern parts of the country continue claiming lives like the latest one in jos bcs no one is interested in finding solution and if we look back to the number lives lost so far in these madnesses, one will wonder if it is not better to take a lasting action and solve the problems once and for all.
nigerians and africans, our houses are in disarrays and shld be put in order before we do the magic of fixing america from this wonderful distance.

You seem 2 b creating a blurred image here. All of the incidents u have mentioned above r unique in their own unique ways and I can't c any basis for comparison btw them. I'm not saying my house is a role model for world politics and neither is it an Utopian society but let's get the facts out. In any case
1. Do u really think Bush attacked Iraq because of 9/11 or for its interest in oil especially for a particular family legacy?
2. Are u really sure of the master minders of 9/11?
3. Do u think the state of Iraq is currently better or worse than before?
However, I personally I'm not in support of dictatorship and neither am I a fan of Husein but the intent of America's invasion is a point of controversy. As for the innocent souls in 9/11 May their souls rest in peace but direct the blame to the right quarters.

The general concept of Witches,Wizards,Demons is a reflection of today's mindset and geographical location. Actually these stuffs do exists and manifest in various forms everywhere. It is the way we react to them that determines how they affect us. The way a Caucasian will react to these concepts vary from the way an African will. As for why they never attack atheist, I disagree on it. It's just that when the attacks come they don't quickly attribute it to the spiritual rather they see it as part of the normal cycle in life hence they have no cause for alarm. But a spiritualist/believer will let all hell loose the moment he senses any form of ill luck or misfortune and because most cases they have no logical explanations to these events they quickly attribute it to the spiritual realm. So it all depends on how one views the misfortunes of life.

That will definitely be an event to remember 4 a long time 2 come. I personally wouldn't blame anybody 4 doing that especially if he was an Iraqi. Look at what he has turned Iraqi to all in the name of Capitalism and Fight against Terrorism to the extent that every corner of the world is feeling the wrath of these terrorists. I'm not a Muslim though but I feel a bit sorry 4 the Muslims because one cannot differentiate btw Terrorists and true Muslims. Either ways nice retirement package for him.

how could you pick the best man without first doing an evaluation or fully understanding exactly what he has done? is this how your employer pick the right man at your job? i'm sorry and no disrespect, but looking at the way you think, you share a lot of qualities with our leaders.

LOL! U have told me over and over again what he has done to supposedly deserve the treatment meted out on him. And for ur info If I were an employer I would employ the likes of Ribadu over and over again cos I believe in results and not sentiments. And if I was thinking like our leaders don't u think I would have been on the other side supporting the injustice doled out on Ribadu.

For me I think Ribadu is still the best man for the EFCC Chairman.Not that he doesn't have his own faults or he is above the law but he has been tested and proven. I wonder why we always throw away the best we have in this country to the wind.

@Poster
Don't u ever add the Niger Delta states to eastern states again or else, If u 1 2 split start from ur family u, then ur LGA, then ur state. If u can succeed then u can recommend what u just posted.

I think the problem with Nigeria is that we r very quick 2 4get the past and that's why we never honor our heroes. Look there is a bigger pic to whatever u r seeing 2day. Some psychophants r just using d excuse of disobedience of law to ridicule this guy.
Now y would the EFCC‘s Head of Media, Mr. Femi Babafemi deny knowledge of Ribadu's visit to EFCC HQ but the Public Media(Punch to be precise) carried it?

Did he deserve 2 b demoted in d first place? C'mon guys can't u c that all these started immediately after OBJ's regime. However no one is yet 2 answer my question. What Did He Do Wrong During The Anti-Corruption War of Obasanjo's Tenure? Even the outside world has commended him on that over and over again.

mr scottn:if i were you, i wouldn't be so quick to conclude at this point. i would encourage ribadu to obey the rules and clear himself. this is what reason people do. if we continue to walk around with this sad way of thinking, i'm sorry, our country will remain in the darkness for a very long time. do you know how many people watching and waiting to see how far ribadu could go with openly disrespecting the rules and regulations? how would you feel if efcc invites another 20 governors next month for questioning or clarification and these people disregard the invitation?
please let us use our heads correctly and just don't eat dog meat because it is cheap and pretty much available.

People keep saying that Ribadu shld respect the law. Maybe I'm groping in d dark or I'm 4rm a different part from this world. Could u pls elaborate on where Ribadu disobeyed the law?

Whatever, I wonder y d brouhaha abt Ribadu. As far I'm concerned Ribadu has done nothing wrong to this country. It's rather unfortunate that it is those who were victims of the anti-corruption that r still in power. Anyway he is back and I hope he is back for good! This country never appreciates good thing.

If ur r/ship is just 6mths just like u said and it is just starting to blossom then u have an advantage because both of u will b unconsciously looking forward to d next moment. Believe me there is nothing like suspense and anticipation in any r/ship. 2ndly, if she's still a virgin (up till this stage in her life) coupled with the above mentioned factors then ur r/ship is still safe because they r hardly adventurous at this stage in life (which is y i personally never wants to meet any at this stage in my life ). However, if none of these factors r playing for u, then just let fate determine u guys path. Good luck pal!

OOP is the best thing that has happened to application development in recent times, (although AOP is strongly challenging that). It is rather the misuse and abuse (cos it could b pervasive) that has led to such criticisms. For instance as stated above why create a class when all u really need is an interface? I would suggest that any one that wants to embark on OOP should master and understand the applications of the following concepts
1. Data Encapsulation
2.Inheritance
3.Polymorphism
4.Composition

Yeah u may be saying that u r seeing this points 4 d umpteenth time but Do You Really Understand Their Benefits,Usage and Practical Applications?

Muza:
dama i knew those thieving govs will not allow it.

the irony of this is that,this is the same gov that last week recommended the stoning of corrupt leaders.

What did u expect? How many governors have declared their assets since the President did? They are all out there to do what their predecessors did and much more.

It's true that we do have some impostors who pretend to b web designers, web developers, application developers; but from my experience these days a lot of clients r looking for cheap but sophisticated apps to be delivered "NOW". A developer worth his salt will in most cases decline such offers or even try to reason with him and try to come up with a more realistic project plan; but these impostors take advantage of the situation tell the client what they 1 2 hear collect the project and POOF! they are off with client's money. I personally do not hesitate to turn down client's request that are unrealistic. If only these clients could be more patient,vigilant and realistic in their requests they would hardly fall prey to these impostors.

@Vanweed
I think u r a menace 2 d society and needs 2 b checked!

If ur girl friend is really ur girl friend, she will reject that offer because in d first instance its not right 2 disclose ur PIN. After all, all she needs 2 do if she needs cash is to ask u. If she doesn't reject the offer then u need 2 check her out. So personally i don't c any reason 2 give my girlfriend my PIN

Since Lagos is surrounded by water to a large extent, I think it's time d transport sector explore the inland water ways transportation system. Btw which is cheaper to implement, the rail system or the water transport system?

U seem 2 b sounding like an armageddon student, hwever i still don't c a direct correlation btw oil and d dollar or why u singled out d american dollar. Oil price cuts across all currencies. Whatever affects d dollar with respect 2 oil will affect others as well. Oil is an international and universal commodity. The american dollar is merely a way of determining product values internationally. Even if d dollar will fall it won't be a direct consequence of oil price falling.

Oh . . I'm sure u know. . .

only if u'd like me 2 believe that u r either an hermaphrodite or a transvestite

Creamish:
Kill his excitement by showing him that I also have that thing that makes us men

And what might that be?
