What on earth are they trying to achieve attacking an armed to the teeth police station of disgruntled low paid trigger happy officers. All in the name of the retaliation of education?

imranmo: The Mormons don't try to impose the Mormon way of life across the USA. The USA is secular, if Nigeria was secular and upheld its principles life would be easier for a whole many a people. |

Chiddysville: You know its our fault though. I'm tired of seeing Nigerians deny it. The Philippines, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Brazil, they were all colonies you know. Nigeria just keep sliding deeper and deeper into complete chaos and anarchy while Nigerians continue to blame the brits and lugard for all their problems. Shit, I wonder why Ghana is lifting itself up while Nigeria, you know what, i give up, |

Nigeria is so bleeped. When people go to western countries they take for granted what Nigerians can only ever dream of, 24 hour power supply, clean tap water 24 hours a day, sanitation, sewers, a police force that works - at least somewhat, and some form of partially reliable healthcare. Nigeria has none of those. We've got committees, lots of them. And for some reason we're more fixated with useless things like having foreign language (Arab) written on our banknotes, or who's sultan was forced to stand in line, or our endless obsession with religion, (god this, god that, but god don't give a fxck about you, you gotta do it urself ain't no god going to bring you drinking water), and tribalism, endless amounts of it. Fvck Nigeria. I guess its time to jump off this After Abacha raped her, Obasanjo but a bullet through her. She's lying there on the side of the road, all fvked up. I guess if the Europeans wanna give a shot reviving her, well they can be my guest. Shit, the British can have her, we don't want her. |

Every time I think of most colonial nations I think of the crap Europeans have done to Africans. However, the British aren't really "European" and their colonial model was not bad. Sadly, they were still selfish, but they helped us far more than you can imagine. In a way we were lucky it was the British and not the dutch, or Belgians. Want to see a modern day colony? Look nowhere than Hong Kong. It was run by a British Governor until 1996. I can almost guarantee that if Nigeria was a colony of the UK, ran by a British governor, it would look like Japan today, almost guaranteed. Our population density would allow the British to apply their highly successfull economic model. However, is that what we want? To be run by the white man? I think if the British had the the time to break our tradition of patronage we would have been a world superpower today (not African, WORLD superpower, with nukes, tanks, etc). Although being run by the white man may simply be unbearable for our pride (and we are the proudest people in Africa). With that, I'm going to quote a passage from a book by a British governor on the state of Northern Nigeria in the early part of the 20th century, From the Book "Nigeria, Our Latest Protectorate" - written by Charles Henry Robinson.

Politics / Re: Do You Think Nigeria Should Divide Up Or Be United Forever? by strangleyo: 6:16pm On Jul 22, 2009 |
To those who asked, Federalism, Let's use the broader Wiki term "Federalism is political philosophy in which a group of members are bound together (Latin: foedus,ovenant (disambiguation)|covenant]]) with a governing representative head. The term federalism is also used to describe a system of the government in which sovereignty is constitutionally divided between a central governing authority and constituent political units (like states or provinces). Federalism is a system in which the power to govern is shared between national and central(state) governments, creating what is often called a federation. Proponents are often called federalists." Nigeria is not actually functioning like a true federal republic. When it does, it will work. Power in Nigeria is still highly concentrated in an ineffectual central federal government. |

True federalism, yes, otherwise impossible. |

Politics / Re: The Northen Nigerian Life! by strangleyo: 2:35pm On Jul 20, 2009 |
Religion is opium for the masses, and Islam is the worst of it. To be fair, I'd love to see all forms of religion banned in Nigeria once and for all. All public and religious gatherings should be banned. Have you noticed most religious riots occur on friday after prayers? I re-iterate, Nigeria needs good riot police. Then we can inact the changes that are required. |

The FG can do something about it, if they had ample riot police. See how China deals with the problem. |

Culture / Corruption And Culture by strangleyo: 9:01pm On Jul 17, 2009 |
When you make money your immediate family, your cousins, your cousin’s cousins, and random people in your village expect money. Hence people either become discouraged to work hard because all their money will be sucked out from them, or they go into public services, where they can just steal it from the coffers and toss it to expectant family members. Question, will a little cold heartedness and individuality bring order in Naija? |

Politics / What About The Bread And Butter Issues? Health, Education And Job Creation? by strangleyo: 8:30pm On Jul 14, 2009 |
I have noticed in regional elections, that Nigerian politicians campaign about nothing. I have not seen a campaign so far that actually stresses a political mandate. Bread and butter issues such as health care, investment in education, and lowering the requirements for private capital investment to create jobs in the private sector are nowhere to be heard. All campaigns seem to be is simply a show of strength, where-by, our leaders walk around in traditional clothing sporting an entourage of associates with sunglasses, almost posing for the media. How did the politicians in your area run their election campaign? Did they speak publicly on bread and butter issues? Did they gather crowds outside and discuss what they promised to do when they entered office? Anything? Discuss? Any input on how elections r run in ur state |

Kaduna — Officers and men from the Kaduna State Police Command, weekend, aborted a lecture on corruption earlier billed to take place at the Kagoro Town Hall, in southern Kaduna. "The action of the police is a clear indication that those in government are not sincere with the fight against corruption," said one of the invited peakers and National Secretary of Action Congress (AC), Dr. Usman Bugaje. Other dignitaries also invited to speak at the public lecture on the topic, Corruption and the Crisis of Development, organised by the Movement for a Better Future, included the Action Congress governorship candidate in Ekiti State in the 2007 general election, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, Vicar-General of the Kaduna Catholic Diocese, Rev. Fr. Matthew Hassan Kukah, as well as Prof. Sam Egwu, a lecturer at the Kogi State University, Ayangba. Police Division Officer in the area, I. Attahiru, who led a team of policemen, had arrived the venue at about 8.00am in an ALGON jeep with registration number NPF 2659 B and a Hilux van from the Kaduna State security outfit, Operation Yaki, with registration number AG 271 KRA and Code 001 and sealed off the hall. Bugaje said, "Whoever stopped the event must have done so because they do not want us to expose their corruption. Whoever is stopping it is corrupt and do not want corruption to stop. "Whatever they want to tell anybody now will not hold water because this is a very strong message that the citizens cannot even speak about corruption," he added. http://allafrica.com/stories/200907131435.html |

I saw an article on this from Thisdayonline. I seriously doubt our politicians have the will to pony up money for such a division, it is simply very expensive and the troops require heavy equipment and thorough training. This money could be used for looting instead,a couple of Toyotas, a big mansion in Kaduna, a big party, investment in a hotel. Who the hell needs security when an armored truck will take care of it? |
