sithwell: Which land, exactly? The land that is currently being contested for as part of a small-scale war; and sought to be cut up? The land that some Nigerians have decided they will fight their own government for?

Imperialism is part of the story of prosperity. The question I ask is simple - after you're done fighting for "the land of your forefathers", what do you point to, to justify the deaths of your heroes in Nigeria?

Every soldier needs a cause; and the Nigerian soldiers, as a unit have no cause outside pride. If they think they do have a cause, it's a phantom cause that has never been achieved in years and years of fighting.

South Africa does not have a small-scale war within its borders today. When the government says "go and fight freedoms attained in 1994", soldiers look around and they see that.

What do Nigerian soldiers see when they look around. A war within their own borders? And then you want to walk about waging wars against other nations? You're piling military hardware sky-high. For what, exactly?

WTF are you saying?
That imperialism is a worthy course?
We are defending our country against islamist funded by foreign interests.
Surely,that's something worth dying for.
Even if Nigeria divides tommorrow(which is very very unlikely),the lands will go to the original owners(NIGERIANS),and it will be free of terrorists.
This is a more worthy course than bullying small countries.

sithwell: We're looking at a few lines of open admission here, regarding the most motivated military in the whole of Africa.

America, despite its problems is able to tell is young guns to go out and die for democracy. For liberties. For nationhood. In fact, that's exactly what the US says.

We all know however that the US fights for oil, which is linked to prosperity.

Eitherway, the US can point to these things. Therefore, the lie behind the democracy story is irrelevant.

What does the Nigerian government point to when it sends its people out to die? When the bullets start ringing in the battlefield, what do Nigerian commanders tell their young men to hold on for? Pride? Not good enough.

There's no point being a "military power", if it's just for the fun of it.

They are sent out to defend the lands of their fore-fathers.
What are southafrican soldiers sent out to die for?
Imperialism against small nations.

SLIDE waxie: u bigots won't cease to amaze me! These people has been fighting for yrs! How did u manage to politicize everytn?

And if nasarawa has made a mistake by voting in APC, then in an era of jonathan where people like asari are havin a say in everythin, then Nigeria has made the greatest mistake by votin him in!

And the differnce btw my statement and urs is dt mine is a fact!

we are in a democracy,and freedom of speech is allowed.
Asari dokubo has not taken up arms against the state,he only exercised his constitutional right.
Btw,i wonder why you are not clamouring for buhari's arrest,afterall he has made alot of inflammatory speeches in the past,just like dokubo.
You are the bigot.

shymexx: You need to stop this, Afam... A Nigerian is a Nigerian regardless of where he/she was born and raised... Some of the people you're trying talk down on are the most patriotic Nigerians ever - most are more patriotic than Nigerians born in Nigeria...

I can cite Danny Shittu, Efan Ekoku, Victor Moses, London 2012 basketball team, Victor Anichebe etc..

Danny shittu?
Are you kidding me?
The same shittu that turned down an invitation to the AFCON,just for a new contract at millwall fc.
Victor anichebe has also turned his back at the national team.

Afam4eva: We need to go back to our secondary schools to get good runners and groom them. I'm not really in support of importing these African-Americans who we call Nigerians to come and represent us. There's really no fulfillment for me even when they win.

True.
The satisfaction is very hollow.
Kinda like reaping where you did not sow.
We need to breed our own athletes.

They would be disgraced again.

This thread,which could have been intellectually stimulating, has been polluted by cretinns.
*walks out*

Afam4evaIsASlut: This drug dealer thats still wanted by the United States Dept. of Justice.....

Nigeria is finished.

Is tinubu not wanted in the US?

[quote author=Texas.Cowgirl]Lol @ thinking SS cares about Biafra lol[/quote]The hausa/fulani hegemony and born to rule attitude has woken the SS to a biafra consciousness.
Hausa/fulani has shot themselves in the foot in different ways.

dayokanu: Some people must just attache by force.

The Midwest had its capital in Benin and the Governor of Edo didnt attend yet some people thought they are integrating with some phoney midwest

These parasites sha

If Edo decides to play hancky-pancky with the SS/SE, then it will be ignored,atleast for now.

Very good devt.
The whole region should be completed integrated,in anticapation of biafra.
We have the human and material resources to do it.
We've wasted too much time.

Building of shipyards is a misplaced priority?
What will i not hear on nairaland?
Na wa.

Mad party.
ACN should feed this trash to their ethnic lap-dogs,and not intelligent Nigerians.

Why do you want to travel through sea?
Are you trying to depict the trans-atlantic slave trade?

This mbuisi guy is very funny.
I wonder where he get his fake news from.

[quote author=Omo_Tier1]Aint got no time for clowns....

https://www.nairaland.com/1286904/us-uk-demand-probe-baga[/quote]you are a dishonest toad.
The US/UK did not condemn the killings of security operatives.
They were only re-echoing the sentiments of unscrupulous NGOs and human rights group who heat up the polity by promoting propaganda against the military.
The US/UK were asking the govt to probe the deaths of the so-called innocents lives of the baga residents.
Nowhere in the article did the US/UK condemn the murder of security operatives.

Afam4eva: Does it matter who crashes out first. The most important thing is that they will all crash out. It's ridiculous how you EPL fans have reduced to fighting over who crashes out last. is this how low you guys have sunk. SMDH

so you still haven't gotten over your hate for the Epl.
Lol.
The defending champions of the UCL is an English team.
There's 70% chance of english team winning the europa league.
Infact,english team have always over-performed in Europe.
And with mourinho returning to england next season,the UCL may well return to England.

50calibre: There is only one real pastor in Nigeria who follows the teaching of Christ to the last, and the man's name is - PASTOR W.F KUMUYI. The rest are only concerned with material wealth and what they can extort from their congregation.

you are not the holyspirit to determine which pastor is real or not.
Btw,does kumuyi preaches tithe?
If he does,then he is not different from the ones you are condemning.

The US and its side-kick should go to hell.
These two nations are responsible for the mass murder of thousands of innocent africans and arabs with their reaper and predator drones.
Why haven't they probed themselves?
All they do is to heat up the Nigerian polity with their hypocritical sanctimonious speeches.
Slowpokes.

I wonder what will happen if GEJ wins 2015 elections, which is looking very likely by the way.
Many people would probably hang themselves.
These are interesting times.

These are interesting times.
The SE already knew their enemies a long time ago,and i am happy the SS have began to recognize who their true enemies are.
The moment of truth is upon us.

smoothcrim2014: I just humiliated you and now you are insulting.

Mexico, and Russia are top economies? Brazil is a top economy?

Are you joking! I just humiliated you and showed your analysis is flawed. Nigeria has 7 times the population of Ghana and is an OPEC oil producing country. Lagos economy is a reflection of post colonial pouring of all resources into Lagos. It cannot and should not be compared to Ghana in anyway. It is a result of a skewed development paradigm which has left much of Northern Nigeria an uninhabitable area of massive poverty.


Ghana is not only better than Lagos but all of Nigera...

[b]Today Ghana is the fourth most stable and most prosperous nation in Africa as of 2012, a recognized regional power, regional hegemony, an approaching middle power, and an emerging economy.] It leads African nations in human development, technology, health care, competitiveness, income per capita, globalization, press freedom, state of peace, economic freedom, low perception of corruption, and the world in real GDP growth. It also ranks highly in Africa on the sustainability of the state, and number one in Africa on democratic development.

Ghana is the first to second largest producer of cocoa in the world, and the eighth largest producer of gold and gold bars in the world. Ghana is also a crude oil and natural gas producer; producing 300 million barrels of crude oil and 200 million cubic feet of natural gas per day as of May 2013. Ghana is a founding member of the Non-Aligned Movement, an observer of the Organization of American States, and a current participator of the United Nations.[/b]

What does Lagos produce to merit it being compared to a country like this? NOTHING. Lagos is a result of historically sucking wealth from other regions, especially oil producing areas, to build Lagos up!

How dare you compare Lagos to a state like GLORIOUS GGhana. Only an illiterate would do that. Learn to think like a learned man son.

Ghana better than Nigeria?
Are you kidding me?
Have you been to Nigeria before?
Cos i have been to ghana before and there was Nothing there to really impress me.
Nigeria floors ghana in most indices of devt,especially infrastructure.
The North have been inhabitable for YEARS?
Do you even know what you are saying?
The North has some of Nigeria's best states with basic infrastructures and very low cost of living.
Infact,the north has the highest population of Nigerians,though very recently, a few states there have security issues.
I agree with you though, that lagos was build with resources from the oil-producing states and even the north during the colonial era.
Most of your write-up about Nigeria is very untrue,get facts next-time.

What are the mods waiting for?
Take this news to the front page.

ayswags: what did fg do

what did the FG do?
Are you kidding me?
More than 70% of the investments in lagos were brought by the FG economic team.

kulyie: hahahah i did not know that benefactors buy food for ladies to show themselves that they are benefactors too much yoruba home video 8-)

sorry,i don't watch yoruba home videos.
Are you telling me that someone who is generous enough to spoil a lady with food cannot be a benefactor in the future?
So you are telling me that the lady cannot be in need of the guy's help whether monetarily or otherwise in the years to come.?
Are you aware that some people just like showing off and they can't help it.
It dosen't give anybody the right to treat them as trash.

Emperoh: Come oh, all you guys bad mouthing the OP wetin be una own?
You went and started boasting for a girl; one of two thing is involved, it's either u want to chop pussy and clean mouth and you want to impress.

If you were genuine, what are you bragging for?
What are you bragging for? She sees it as an opportunity to chop.
It turns out you are fake, who is to blame, the girl? After you don go show yourself say your papa na Warren Buffet
Abeg, make we hear word.

If you want know gold diggers, close your mouth, close your pocket, na she go run.
But when you run your mouth and say things you are not, sorry brotherly, i support them, make them chop your money!!

oh pls shut up.
You probably didn't read the useless gist before posting.
The guy in question actually wanted to spend money on the lady,and instead of the bittch to buy what she needed,she was wasting the dude's money on food she didn't even bother to eat.
She was not only being a parasite,but a wasteful one at-that.
Is it a crime to brag about your achievements?
If it's so easy,why don't you go and make your own money?
If a woman hates men that brag,then tell them to fucck off.
Why turn yourself to a wasteful parasite?
This is how people drive away potential benefactors.
I just hope men will stop casting their pearls before swines.
A very annoying story indeed.

ABU GEORGE: . U're making a mistake. David moyes has never won a trophy does not mean is not a good coach. Let me brief u, dortmund coach dat is world best now was a coach at mainz for seven years witout a trophy but he coach borrusia dortmund and win their title last season and now in champion league final, david moyes has no european experience, does dat means dat our players has no european experience. Luv moyes or u bounce out of man u. Dat is d right man. A coach dat will stay long time witout moving to anoda club,peaceful and co ordinated not d one dat will come and scatter both d players and d board and den later move to anoda club. Moyes for life

don't deceive yourself.
Choosing moyes is a big gamble.
It may or may not work out.
Btw,with ferguson deciding to be part of the board of directors,i wouldn't be surprised if moyes quit due to the immense pressure he would face.
Btw,i don't think mourinho would keep changing clubs.
Any club that gets him now after madrid,gets him for the long haul.

[quote author=Omo_Tier1]What makes me believe this news of false? Can link to State house briefing where this trip was mentioned? Any link to America consulate in Abuja confirming Obama's visit?

In any case, whether He visit or not, it is foolhardy for anyone to think He is coming to give the clueless one a thumbs up, rather, like every nation in the world that knows their onions, He is coming to cut 'sweet' deal for His people especially when a certain man is the President of Nigeria [/quote]you are a bloody hypocrite.
Just recently you were congratulating obama for staying away from Nigeria,which according to you,was a proof that GEJ's govt was unprogressive.
Well now that you've found out that your crazed assumptions were wrong,you turn around to brand the "obama visit" as exploitationary.
You are not a man of honour.

Chelsea shouldn't get rooney.
He is a very average English player and certainly overpriced at £25million.
Lewandowski is £30million and three times the player rooney is.
And it seems dortmund would prefer lewandowsky moves to chelsea than to bayern.

paniki: What's the Nigerian Air Force crash history.

what crash history?
The united states airforce have had far more crashes than Nigeria.
What's your point?

Benefits of the partial subsidy removal.
