You guys are so excited. Hope you get the job!

Smartness and wickedness are not synonymous.

The government can control inflation by creating and spending less money.
Raising the salary of civil servants is the opposite of that. You can't eat your cake and have it.

DSTV has so many channels so why are people fretting over the premiership?

The Premier League is a major factor that drives the purchase of DSTV. Soccer fanatics need it.

So the wise saying "opportunity comes but once" hold the truth.

That's wrong!

My finding is that opportunity comes again and again, but one who is unprepared won't even recognize it as one.

Only if she hangs out with people beings like you!

You can minimize the hurt, but you can't eliminate it. Who knows, he might be a useful ally tommorrow.

he plays his role as the head.

Grrr. I hope you find a good "head" for your body. Our women are so brainwashed!

Because that's what people are obsessed with!

I don't particularly care about what you think it advocates. Stop attacking me and let's face the topic.

I do not want civilians harmed, and I have been able to point out why they musn't be. Thanks and bye.

I still find the show unbelievably boring, but Ogechi is definitely cute. The boardroom pretentiousness bores me.

I like the idea of a girl that doesn't need to be "protected".
Naturally, when she played such a character in "Dark Angel", I fell in love!

My position is that the people of the Niger Delta are not responsible for the oil windfall.
Afterall, they did not plant the oil in the ground, and they are not the ones using technology to extract it.

However, if the extraction of oil has caused pollution in their environment, then they deserve compensation.

People like Ken Saro Wiwa, unlike these kidnappers, were worthy ambassadors of the Niger Delta people.
They campaigned for the desires of their people without stopping so low as to become common criminals.

These militants are just capitalizing on the gullibility of the educated masses to obtain money and fame.
And their kidnapping is making things worse by scaring away the very private investors who bring development.
There is very little the government can do to develop that region if people like you and me are afraid to go there.

That's the same idea I settled upon when discussing with a friend. 50% at most goes into the joint account.

All Niger Deltans are not criminals - only the ones carrying guns, kidnapping, and killing soldiers. That's my point.

If the militants live with civillians who offer them shelter and protection

If an armed man comes to your house in the middle of the night asking for shelter, will you not offer it to him?
Does that make you a criminal? If so, then that means every victim of armed robbery is a criminal! Beyond that, it is not every civilian in the Niger Delta that has been forced to harbour criminals, so killing them is pure murder.

Supposing you discover that your child isn't really your biological child. What good result will come out of that?

I loved them as a group, anyway. I think they were greater than the sum of their parts. Almost perfect!

Vsat would be too expensive because SAT-3 fiber-optic bandwidth is now available!

The militants who did all these things are not civilians. They are common criminals.

The poor men and women who have the misfortune of living in the same area are not to blame.
Only a bloodthirsty military person would want to punish unarmed civilians for the misdeeds of armed criminals.

The government of Lagos State does not kill unarmed Lagosians for the actions of armed robbers.
These militants are ordinary criminals. They are causing lots of mayhem simply because they are armed.

The government is made to help the people; to neutralize criminals so that civilians can enjoy peace.
A government that attacks law-abiding citizens because naval officers were killed has forgotten its mandate!

This is obvious, and needs not be debated. Punish the kidnappers, but leave civilians alone. Thank you.

Grrr. Over-regulation gives civil "servants" so much free money. I hate that.
