your dna, your karma, who you are is in that stinky womanliness.

if you like, curse yourself.

What do you mean?

@ topic
thread was cleaned up i see.
i still dont get what the uproar was about?
why were people taking it so personal?
there are countless threads insulting women of all persuasions, with emphasis on nigerian women right down to their womanliness which we are told is uglier and stinkier than other countries' own, and i didnt see this level of antagonism. Never mind the fact that the posters and thread starters of such topics all entered this world through that stinky corridor.

Unfortunately

that is why I am marrying a white chic so that my child can enter the world throug a cleaner corridor.

White power! White power!! White power!!!

May the devil purnish you!

Herodotus, the Greek credited by many as the initiator of the discipline we refer to today as HISTORY had cause to observe that: “A person who does not know anything about the events which took place before he or she was born will remain forever a child.” We are in full agreement with the observation of the sage.

The people of Osun State in particular, and the Yorubas generally must ponder about the degeneration in quality that has resulted in a once proud people fielding their seventh or eight eleven. To continue with the soccer metaphor, it is like sending a primary school team to face the Spain team which has just won the just concluded World Cup in South Africa. It wouldn’t make sense and it doesn’t!

Osun State at one point valiantly led the way. It produced Nigeria’s first lawyer in Christopher Alexandra Sapara Williams who hailed from Ilesa. The path breaking lawyer and nationalist was also the senior brother of Dr. Oguntolu Sapara who became Nigeria’s first medical doctor in the Western sense. Sapara Williams was called to the English bar in 1886, so we can see that Osun State has far long been a trail blazer.

The list of Osun State citizens who have achieved success and international renown across the professions and all the areas of human endeavour is far too long to be stated here. It will take up all the space reserved for this editorial. It is therefore really amazing, that we are now scrapping the bottom of the barrel in our search for human capital. It is not just amazing, it is absurd. The state has never lacked in human capacity. However in recent times, the military interregnum and the Obasanjo imposition have turned back the wheel of progress and orderly change.

From this perspective it cannot be surprising that the otherwise ludicurous Iyiola Omisore is considered as a possible future governor of Osun State. That he himself considers it possible at all is a reminder of the depth of turpitude we have sunk into. Omisore is the exact opposite of the great achievers Osun State has produced. Indeed it is a gratuitous insult to mention their names in the same breath as his. They do not deserve such an insult.

In his notorierity, Omisore ordinarily should be a figure of ridicule. He lacks presence, he is totally devoid of scruples and is by comportment, gait and track record the direct opposite of what the Yorubas will call omoluabi. The fellow is frankly an oddity, more to be pitied than envied. He represents a direct indictment of what Obasanjo and his attack dogs have wrought on the Yorubas.

Omisore does not have the intellectual preparation required to fix a broken down Osun State. He lacks the aptitude and the focus to contribute anything to make matters even worse, his emotional comportment is at the level of an adolescent. Although we hasten to add that this in no way should be interpreted as an attack on adolescence. In the deplorable state that Osun State finds itself it is obvious that Omiusore is the direct opposite of what is needed.

Osun State as of today is in total disarray. The physical, fiscal and social infrastructure has been destroyed. Seven years of total abandonment means that the next governor has to rebuild from scratch. To do this the state needs a pivotal figure. What is needed is an accomplished performer. A solid personality who has been battle tested. A figure who has the preparation capacity. Such a person must have the emotional comportment to pay meticulous attention to details. He must have the comportment and the clarity of thinking to put in the sort of sustained back breaking hard work and sacrifice needed to resuscitate a state which for all intents is at the moment on life support.

Even his most ardent admirer cannot claim that Omisore has any of the attributes listed above. Iyiola Omisore has been schooled in the arena of banditry, of do or die politics. This is not what is needed to resuscitate Osun State. Apart from his complete lack of intellectual preparation, the fellow simply does not have a track record of successfully doing anything successfully. Where? We need to ask has his managerial accomplishment in the public or private sphere. His present chairmanship of the Senate Appropriations Committee has once again shown him up. The fellow has been totally lost at sea as the country stumbles from one fiscal mishap to another. This should not come as a surprise. For it is only in a failed state that a man who cannot interpret a balance sheet will chair an appropriations committee.

In this nightmare scenario, there is a silver lining, a saving grace. Osun State has a clear, appetizing alternative. In Engineer Rauf Aregbesola we can recreate the best of a glorious past. Aregbesola is very well prepared intellectually. As the Lagos State Infrastructure czar, he showed an admirable administrative acumen and demonstrated excellent, innovative managerial sagacity. The people of Osun State will have in him, a safe pair of lands to guide the ship of the state.

In contradistinction, Omisore is a disaster well foretold. It must NEVER happen! The people of Osun have suffered too long and cannot endure another calamity

More startling revelations about the way the United States and international oil companies view and treat Nigeria have continued to emerge from some of the US embassy cables released by a whistle-blowing website, WikiLeaks.



One of the cables details discussions at a meeting between the US Assisitant Under Secretary of State, Mr. Johnnie Carson, and some executives of the IOCs in Lagos on February 7, 2010.



During the meeting, which looked at the challenges facing Nigeria and suggested ways of tackling them, Carson warned that “Nigeria had the possibility of becoming the next Pakistan in 25 years.”



Pakistan is generally described as the hotbed of religious crisis and a poor terrorist nation. It’s history has been characterised by political instability and conflicts. It is home to terrorist organisations such as Lashkar-e-Toiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed; one of the most active militant islamist terrorist organisations in South Asia.



Another cable mentioned a former Shell Petroleum Development Company Vice-President for Sub-Saharan Africa, Africa, Ms. Ann Pickard, as claiming that some key officials in the administration of the late President Umaru Yar’Adua took huge sums from oil firms as bribes.



At the February meeting, Carson said Washington viewed Nigeria as the most important country in Africa because of its huge population, large hydro-carbon deposit, peace keeping role in ECOWAS, seat in the United Nations Security Council and its financial market strength.

Carson noted that there was no way the US would not be interested in Nigeria given its enoumous potential and large Muslim population (seventh in the world) were capable of eclipsing Egypt by 2015.



He argued that for the US not to have a presence in Northern Nigeria was akin to having no presence in Egypt. For this reason, he added, the US was planning to have a consulate in Kano.



When told that the US was underepresented diplomatically, economically, commercially and militarily in the South-South and South-East, he admitted that Washington must return to Enugu, and Port Harcourt.



Carson, who described Cape Town, South Africa as being 100 times a better living place than Lagos, said, “Some places are more important than others within the Federal System of Nigeria.

“Lagos is one of the one of the most important places. It is bigger and more important than Cape Town even though the latter is 100 times better in terms of livability.”

The cable quoted him as saying, “No presence means no access, which leads to no influence. Without influence, you have nothing.”



Carson reportedly said that when he served in Nigeria from 1969 to 1971, the US had its embassy in Lagos with consulates in Ibadan, Kaduna, and briefly in Port Harcourt. It also had an Information Service post in Kano.



The Under Secretary of State pointed out that when Nigeria had a population at 50 million and did not produce oil, the United States was better and more broadly represented.



He added that with an embassy in Abuja and a consulate in Lagos now, the United States had experienced a huge loss in Nigeria.



The Washington top official added that the US expected a stable, legal, democratic and constitutional government in Nigeria with no military involvement.



He said that it was important for the Nigerian government to do better in the 2011 general elections because in 2007, only 10 per cent of Nigerian voters saw ballot papers.

Kobojunkie:
What is she now, like 77 years old? Madam Ayoka, once labeled a heroine of the Ekiti people, and sentimental Nigerians out there, resigning? WHY?? OH WHY do they leave us just when we are getting to know what they are made of?

Why do you like asking stupit questions.
It seems to be your thing to ask elementary qustions that can be answered via 'google.'

CRAZY KOBOJUNKIE IS IN THE HOUSE: PATIENTLY WAITING FOR HER TO DERAIL THE THREAD WITH HER NONSENSICAL ARGUMENTS




PS: FOR SANITY SAKE, PLEASE IGNORE KOBOJUNKIE

Blazay:
Yeah. We know.
So, there are no "youths" in Northern Nigeria huh?

youth=abegero=almajiri=niger-delta militant=kidnappers.

You don't get it, do you?
According to the Oxford dictionary of contemporary usage, youth: the freshness and vitality characteristic of a young person
Emphasis on vitality, which denotes the quality of being exciting and successful.

Quite alright, you have warm bodies in the north. Most of these people are grossly uneducated, and as a result,  not useful to the country.
The country cannot rely on them because they are, for the most part, bound to fail.

They, like our in-house Alh Harem, are devoid of original thinking, untrainable, and they lack basic critical thinking and writing skills necessary for survival in the 21st century.
They are dependent on the country, and the country functions perfectly well without them.

It is not as if there are no youths in the north, the problem is that the ones that can be called 'youths' are few and far in between. It would be easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than to find a responsible young adult in the north. That said, once in while comes along people like 'Blazay' who shatters all pre and mis-conceptions of the way the average northerner is viewed. That said, people like 'Blazay' are not the norm in northern Nigeria; whereas people like Seun Osewa, fstranger, Ilek-ide,Igbobuigbo, Dapobear, 'Bawomolo (RIP), Katsumoto and the rest abound in abundance in the south. Furthermore, it is on the shoulders of the aforementioned people from southern Nigeria, not the almajiris (like Hak nai, Mai Suya. Alh Harem and to some extent Blazay), that the future of the country rest.

We dont have almajiris

We have responsible youths/people

We are more sensible than those mofod upnorth!

olafolarin:
He made à remarkable Statement during the War by saying:
"When we get Close to Biafra Border, we will shoot everything Moving.
On entering Biafra Territory, we will shoot everything on sight-both moving and Not moving".

He failed, unfortunately

If he had succeded, people like Igbobuigbo, ezeuche, environer. Akin Egba, metal gong and the likes wont be here yarning dust. It is a pity he did not take them out.
