@senator

I agree that one should use the little he/she has to try to sustain himself which would be a wise decision, no doubt.
But its not that simple.

for example, if i (ND people) get N100 worth of grains everyday to feed my family from a plantation around my home, and then a greater body (govt, who is supposed to have some form of devlopment impact on me) comes to this same land to plunder it. take N2000 worth of grains everyday, and then destroys the very environment where i manage to make my N100 to feed my family. I don't think even you would not react. It gets to a stage where people are resolve to using their last meagre resources to fight for they believe in.

respect ur view coded G, definitely one would be compelled to react but must it be by force? both parties(govt & militants) are equally wrong on the actions taken.
but what do you expect the govt to do when the militants are adamant on their views, no dialogue can occur and they are becoming a threat to not just properties, but lives as well. if u were the president forget tribe and reion(i detest it)
what would you have done given the situations on ground?

coded guy:
The genuine fight has now turned to taking advantage of the chaotic situation. Nobody knows who is fighting a good cause now, everyone, govt, militants, criminals all seems to have a selfish agenda.

exactly what i was trying to make u see,even if the cause is just, is this the way to go about it?
we dont know who is fighting for the good of the people and who is for their own interest.
whichever way the cause is no more as far as am concerning.
we do have a pathetic situation like u rightly said only God can intervene

adudu208:
This question has been bugging me these past week. A lot of girls has (have) different qualities as well as interest in wanting to have a relationship with a guy. This is influence (d) by their social, religious, education and other inclinations. It did occur to me that may be i should throw the challenge and see were in (it) lands me. Please be constructive because i do hope to meet the most reasonable demands i read here--------- Goodluck!!!

first of all thou shall not tabon

@coded guy ure getting me wrong,
notice I isolated a sentence from what okey posted, understand what am saying first
who says most of the money used in procuring arms are the ransom ones?
my point is this,if they feel they have been neglected( by not been given money)
why use the little u have to go buy arms?i find it unwise for them to do such
thats what am trying to say
cheers

maybe shes just pulling your legs, or maybe she really likes you, could have been your first impression on her got her liking u. its not a desperation trust me, its just feelings moving faster than her thoughts.
two things can occur, one she gets over it
two she continues
whichever way, don't push her off saying shes being too desperate because that woud hurt her, if you like  her then take it slow and easy with her
hope it helps
cheers

@ SENATOR J D
How r u doing man?

am doing good my brother,hope ure aight?

coded guy:
These are some of the most stupid contributions i have ever seen on N/L.

if u read through what okeyjazz posted and what i wrote,if u were smart enough u would understand what i meant.
if they have enough money to go buying arms and weapons to fight the government, which makes more sense using the money to start a development(no matter how small) or procure arms to fight the government? .
If your friend walks up to u and he is dying of hunger( because he hasnt eaten in 2days) and cannot eat because he has no money,you give him N2000 to go eat and off he goes to go carry a prostitute and co mes back telling you he his hungry.
would u call him wise or stupid? does that make sense to a reasonable person?
whoever said anything about kidnapping. do u read before u post at all? did i ever justify their action or the kidnappings. dude its way to early in the day ok?

Nigeria1,,:
It look like you did not get my point. Let me make it clear. Look for One years now the president have done what you want, that is place only northerner in sensitive

and who says thats what i want?i aint a northerner first of all.

and the only them in  important position, but what have been the result so far. It has  been failure. From NEPA MW have drop to the all time low. The price of food have gone to the highest it can be in nigeria history, teacher are on strike or about to, Nepa is the same. I was told petrol station are starting to see quene like in the days of abacha. MEND have become a serious problem and a disgrace in the international community to Nigeria. Now let ask our self why is this going on?

so are you saying northeners are the cause of it?Ask yourself how many times did the price of PMS go up during Obasanjo's regime?How many times did ASUU go on strike?
ooo so food prices never went up during Obasanjo's time? you were told que is becoming like Abacha's time are you sure u ever lived in this country during Abacha's time?how many times did u have to que for fuel compared to OBJ's time?

The answer is a govt must be broad and open arm toward everybody either white , black, yoruba, igbo, hausa or otherwise. you find good people that are white, igbo, hausa and yoruba. Look if Obama becomes president of the USA. And he now decided to give all the major position to black people, Obama would be killed.

and why?

You see I have lived here is now getting to half of my life on earth. And I can tell you have good white people and for my children to have a broad view of life, I am making sure, i do not put them in an all black environment. I want them to be white in thinking and speak like white. for them to go through what white people through.

to think like white so now uve moved from a tribalistic view to a racialistic(permit d english) view? so black in thinking ,makes u less?u amaze me

it make a better person to learn other culture. it let you know them better.

learning other cultures is not to become like them but to understand their way of life

i have friend from every nation on earth. i speak little chinese, filipino, italy, spanish, french   and others,   Look I speak Hausa, so you can not claim I HATE NORTHERNER. I HAVE LIVED IN THE NORTH. I have friend that are northerner. I speak Igbo and also have friend that are Igbo. I am what you would call a real Nigerian.

beacause you speak the languages and have friends that are from here doesnt make one a real Nigerian. What make one a real Nigerian is considering the Economic development and growth of the nation far and above any sentiments,tribe or geo-political zone. if an ibo would get it done or a yoruba or hausa or delta or what have you i endorse it without saying: why he/she not from my side, that my friend is what makes u a REAL NIGERIAN

You see tribal insensitive lead to the Nigeria civil war were some southern army office who history tell us had tribal motive plan the first coup without caring for the north which lead to the death over 1,000,000 people. what they did was killed only people from the north. and the north saw it as insult to them , which is what the south is feeeling today by president yar Adua appointment of Only Northerner to important position. You said something about some southerner been in other position. Is like you saying that southerner are President Yar Adua driver, tea maker, house maid and you can make a list. It is insulting to the south. Those ministries or position are like making southerner ministries of tea maker, ministries of house maid etc.
do you have evidence to prove this? Mr vice president is a what?driver from the south i assume
,
You can't be insensitive to other tribal in Nigeria. it would only result in a war. So president Yar Adua have to be caring and need to make the change. And in future his political enermy are going to use it against him. Those tribal he is kicking against now, when he is down are going to use it. A leader have to smart and diplomatic in his approach.

is sentivity to tribal issue what we need or development of the nation?and u say ure a Real Nigerian? that would prefer someone from your end to be there ocupying a position,collectinf salary doing nothing and it would gladening ones heart because he/she is from my place?
this and many other reasons are why we are where we are

Okejazz:
Rather, they buy more arms and recruit more ex-cons.

and they complain there is no development? Cant they channel such monies into productive usage?
Now bodies are counting on both sides.(army and militants)
An arguement at my workplace this morning was related to the 'WAR'
it would take nothing for Mr President to order a full RED alert on that zone(which would result on terrible losses), but as a nation what would we gain?
more dead bodies and a tendecy of another civil war in view?
The US  gorvenrmnet would support a war because their interest in that region is being tampered on, this is a very dicey situation and Mr president is trying to be very diplomatic and careful, Nigeria cannot survive another 1 minute of a civil war and at the way things are going except a divine intervention, we might just be heading towards that.
Blood would flow, militants would want to avenge their loss, same as the army.

something should be done Dranoel but not what the militants are doing, what would they eventually gain after destroying all infrastructures? we as a nation would be the ones to suffer for it.
most of them(militants) have never and would never leave the shores of this country, if eventually a crises that cannot be handled breaks out, where do they run to?the high and mightiesss of the society can easily arrange and leave the country, what happens to them? stay back here and rot.with no food to eat,good water,security,light and what have you
violence would never be the answer even if, note even if their cause is just( which at this point i doubt)

when the enemy comes against us like a flood,the spirit of the lord would surely lift up a standard against it.
Divine protection bro

ure welcome,
learning is part of life

angel101:
guys kissing! lol

its a HOLY Kiss

alex406:
Thats just because you don't know what those people are suffering from.

and what might that be? havent they been compensated? ok maybe not to the extent they expected,
were their leaders given anything if yes what happened to it, the bottom is crying that the top aint listening, and the little given they cart away with it so who should they be fighting? They should go blow up Alamieisegha's home at least he ruled them in that region, what tangible thing did he do for them?

nice ones
just to add to no 1
don't smile foolishly,smile when smiled at and do it professionally
over smiling can irritate/push off the interviewers

also for guys avoid using too much cologne/body spray/perfumes and the likes
so it doesnt give u away as a flower

angel101:
is this a decalration for rea, or is oga just making a statement for lack of anything else to do?

both

dernearla:
@ Iseobio
It's very wrong of you to describe our President as the most stupid idiot.That's callous of you.It's an insult not only on the president but the entire Nigerians for casting aspersions on our President.
Come to think of it, are you a militant or one of their sponsors?Because i don't understand your point.You want the president fold his arms and watch those criminals in the Niger Delta blow up the country; all in the name of agitation?No, it can't be. For me, i support the President. Infact a full Military option is what those criminals need

one kiss for each point

abdurrazaq:
Old story.

like his coming out to say that is new?
This so called generals have just been having a filled day making unneccesary comments
first Abacha never stole now i am reponsible,
so we are to like what? jump up our feets clap our hands and celebrate

Big B1:
Like him or hate him, the man purely represents one of the best leaders Nigeria has ever produced.
Too bad, he did not come back to set things right.

dude this a joke right?

eminemkayc:
HE BETTER THINK OF HOW TO DIALOGUE WITH THOSE BOYS AND FIND OUT THEIR PROBLEM RATHER THAN OUTRIGHT CONFRONTATION, COS IT'LL EXACERBATE THE WHOLE ISSUE.

what is there again to find out?maybe its me but i feel this guys have overstrechted their limits in the course of their ''fight''.i have my reservations towards the war but definitely i don't support the militants actions

nicely stated sky
@nigeria
i live in Nigeria, work in Nigeria, have my investments in Nigeria have my loved ones in Nigeria
have lived with southerners and easterners and am currently living around Northeners so i definetly know a little above average on this issue.
Push tribe away for a monent and consider Your country's development
If a Northener would get the job, then what is wrong with that? I beg to say at this point that all this might just be due to a selfish interest that we have as a people to hold a political appointment or public post because of what ''I'' would get.

Nigeria1,,:
senator, but he had really put northerner in all key position, and nothing have work. Power generation have gone down. . I believe with good minister who have idea ,change and renovation president Yar adua govt can do better.

we can't categorically conclude yet can we? yaradua is slow no doubt but did OBJ do any better as regards power for 8yrs after commiting that much an amount?
u believe with a good minister he can do a better job right? so if such ministers come from the North its now an issue and suddenly he wont be able to do a better job?
as long as i can drive from Abuja-lagos without expereincing any bad roads, fly from here to lagos without a fear of aircrash due to bad equipmenst and logistics
as long as i can take my children to the hospital and not expect to meet a no doctor on seat situation, as long as i can drive to a station and fill up my tank without having to que for ages, as long as i can get to my house and switch on the Tv expecting it to come on without having to go pull the Generator, then am ok EVEN if its a northener that does all this it matters not to me
I take the development of my nation far and above any tribal issue, tribe or person related i doubt if u do, because if u do tribe wont be the issue here but the competence of the persons in question

LOL Ziz feel ur passion babe

ade2kay:
All graduates should be tested on their personal abilities and not on the name of their schools. finish.
[/b]

agree with this sentence,I am tested based on my capabilities at work not based on the school i went to.
i don't believe suffering would prepare u for the real world as much as it probably would make one dogged and determined to succeed, it shouldnt be a reason to attack those that never went through it

question:@poster so why did they join the army then?

wont date for fun of it, so if its going to lead to the altar no i wont.

Sky Blue:
I have to go so i will give a more elaborate answer later, however i just need to ask, so all this "fairness" that was part of the OBJ government brought the much needed peace and prosperity and development to the country right? Why not take a leaf from your book, you said judge a man according to his actions. Why not wait for the people who have been appointed to even state what they intend to do before you castigate them? I am sure if the appointees were from somewhere else you won't even care what plans they would have or anything of the sort, you would be content with just knowing that they are from your side of the country? If this is the stand then are you realy in any place to be crying about the division or lack of development in any part of Nigeria?

makes a whole lot os sense Nigeria1, read thru both posts and as much as i dig ur views i cannot but agree on skyblues
Nigeria is where she is today due to this whole tribal issue, if a norhtner can get the job done i dnt give a flying doughnut as long as i can press my light switch and light comes on. like sky rightly said would u then go about destroying infrastructures in ur area because it was bulit by someone other than ur tribe? i tell people I am first of all a Nigerian b4 considering anything tribe. if we learn to take this view am sure nigeria wouldnt have been where she is today.
Though i have reservations against his appointments, but lets wait till this folks work, then we can throw stones.
for all we know our long awaited developments might just come from northerners.
if Yarry puts all northerners in his cabinet and at the end of the day the work gets done, wont we all be better for it?
lets put away all this tribalistic views and wars, cos it has done just one and only one thing to Nigeria
"Led us no where"

I love her cos she allows me to be me,without expecting me to be another person

naijaking1:
She's certainly not the only political appointee older than 60.

well she aint thats part of the politics in action if u may say.

deor03:
For real, i am sick an tired of all this nepotism. Why can't we just clamour for the best set of people who can do the job irrespective of their tribe.
This generation of Nigerian should not be drawn into this mess called tribal politics.

word!! but for the unlearned and ''uneducated'' hpw do u convince them that u aint playing tribal politics when more than half of your cabinet's members are ur clans?
i have no problem with that as long as the person delivers his/her brief, but what of others that are so tribalistic in views?

4months u say
