Ganiyat72:Lol @ Oluwole. The shrine of certificates. |
blackpanda:If we understand you correctly, you want these rights for Fulani nomads. Because they own cattle. Are the cattle property of Nigeria or of the Fulani cattle rearers? Is it their private cows or public cows? When people do their businesses, they personally go and find a business center. They don't need tax payers money to set themselves up. Or a government to spend unnecessary funds on making them comfortable. Why, then, do you think that the country owes them for them deciding to roam and kill people because of their PERSONAL business? Because, what, they are rearing cows? And other people with private businesses don't have rights? Because they aren't walking miles from their origins with cows and leaving cow faeces in their wake? The cattle are their business, so they should mind their business. Do you realize that simple sensitization back in the deserts could change the outlook of these people? They aren't the only nomads in the world, but they are the worst sort, because their excesses are being cuddled by people of a like view as yourself who think they need to be given " rights ". If they wish to rear their cattle, it's their business and nobody owes them anything. In fact, they ought to be law abiding and stop killing people or else they face the law. But rather what you have here is a scheme to breed more trouble. It's not as though if they were given grazing guidelines they would ever abide by them. Provided their spindly legs get there, they feel they own it. What happens when they feel you're trying to change their custom of going where they please? They begin killing people in cities to make their point. Educating them is the only means of making them reason. |
freeze001:You even dignified him with a response. The Fulani simply feel they own the world, especially now that they think they have a kindred spirit looking out for their best interests. I don't see why the private roaming of these fellows takes them to farmlands, when there are forests they could always vegetate in. I cannot see why the Fulani's as a similar specie can breed in arid lands while their cows need to be guided across city centers, like grass grows on tar, to farmlands they didn't sweat for. Yet some people feel it's their right to be given places to roam about to, when the land up there is so vast and their cows are adapted to semidesert conditions. Compensation scheme to murderers, because they are of frail sensibilities and volatile. Smh. |
Explorers:So NFS is real. |
DaBullIT:The grazing bill is exactly what it sounds like, a grazing bill. A bill designed for opportunistic cows. Until you tell us why there should be a governmental bill for the Personal Business of nomads, I'll take my crystal ball over you. I don't see why the tribe cannot be educated rather than throwing a huge bone at them that they will never be satisfied with. You need to see a Fulani man getting worked up about one of the two bodies growing cold by the tar, and it isn't the body of the little boy who looks like his son; it's the cow. Oh wait, are you by any means from that end of the country? |
DaBullIT:What's wrong with them going back north? Isn't that where the cows came from in the first place, or do they pick cows up along the way? What's wrong with the grass in the vast North? If they can live and breed there as human life forms, the cows can too. Or do the cows deserve more ? Why should the government give them land on which to graze, when it's their personal cow rearing they are going about? Or are the cows property of the state? Can anyone just go pick up a cow if they are now given land? It's their personal cow rearing business so they should keep it personal. Nobody really likes seeing them constituting a national menace as they herd the cows and themselves through the most unlikely places. They should buy themselves plots of land like any other citizen wishing to do an agricultural business. They can roam from Algiers down to Nigeria and claim right of cow passage and free land because they are nomads? Really? These people will never be satisfied with just some reserve areas. As long as there is land they must roam it. Don't you know, only they were put on earth to roam and own all of it. Everybody else is in their way. I don't even see how the matter should be given any consideration apart from educating them on how to relate with people, and teaching them that anywhere their cows roam to doesn't belong to them, and teaching them ways of keeping their horned family members herded in the North. |
greenhulk:Personally, I find chrome tedious to use. I don't particularly like the interface. Although I hear it's all that, I prefer UC. All the stuff about restarting tabs on exiting UC isn't true. Unless the person has settings off for restarting tabs. UC opens over 10 tabs, contrary to popular belief. The only time chrome gets opened is when somebody else browses on my phone. |
Marlvin:Never doubt the stup.idity of certain beings. If they could afford to buy him a suit, why didn't they? Instead they make fun of a guy who probably had no other suit but that one. |
Dollyak:It's too bad Nigeria doesn't have gas. Central heating is only efficient in countries with industries and conservation methods. Nigeria lacks those. |
This thread ought to be closed on account of the terrible topic. What is "Ur"? You can't even dignify it with a sensible topic and it's sad to think that students or graduates will actually pop in and contribute. |
santity100:Can you stop deceiving the ones who actually believe your comment? Nothing has changed. Name change cannot change people. All you initially had were people scared of being thrown in jail but now they know nothing is happening. |
Rapmoney:Why do you hesitate to impeach him or plan a coup? Is the man divinity that all you do is complain about him and do nothing? |
tayebest:Broken record. |
OneManLegion:Lol. Please, don't do this. We miss your otherworldly posts. |
dacovajnr:Lol. |
dacovajnr:Is the bird a flamingo? Yes or no? Yet you were telling us that the OP didn't know the difference between a vulture and a flamingo. Don't know which of you is worse. ![]() |
dacovajnr:Do you know what a flamingo is? It's a pink bird native to southern Africa, not Nigeria. What you have there is a rubbish-pecking sea/swamp species. You could've cried out instead that that was an egret or some other naive bird. You and the OP are birds from the same... |
Sant1m:It's the first real budget because they waste so much time about it, from the lies about it being missing and about it being padded? And if you think this government is so transparent, you need to actually get into ministries to see what is going on. It's just the same old menace with a new face. That buhari is the president does not mean that corruption disappeared, that suddenly everything is in perfect working order or that his halo has pervaded anywhere. He is corrupt, too. Get over the fact that you voted him in, stop making excuses for lousiness. Democracy indeed. If half the Nigerians had it their way, he wouldn't still be President. |
MadCow1:The jeans, right? Or maybe the posture. Just something feminine but can't place a finger on it. |
Babalegba:For better or worse? Nothing has changed for Nigeria. |
1bkaye:Were you able to get any of his books? |
TheDevilIsALai:Are you a fuel technologist/engineer? Your analysis of volatility and viscosity is... Have a like. |
MzLarem:Lol @2. Some baby goats are cute, you say. Okay. It's certified. You're a big softie. ![]() |
kaboninc:I never said to flog it till it died or sustained injuries that are destructive. There's nothing wrong with leaving a few welts if it gets to that. I'm yet to see a person who when flogged does not get welts and turn red/plum. Unless they now flog children with pieces of paper because a smarting is now such a bad thing. And yes, it's about Africans and non Africans. What you have in Nigeria are parents who do not have the nerve to flog their kids because "it will damage it's psyche", " it's not civilized ", " I should only speak to them "; because they saw it on TV, or because their friend at Asokoro doesn't do it. But they forget that the floggings/beatings they got early in their lives did make a difference. All this soft talk about talking to them only is irritating. The people who they saw that told them not to flog most certainly beat theirs if they get out of line. It's irritating seeing Nigerians who were flogged now acting like children are some sort of gem that will die if they are touched. The only thing excessive flogging does is that it either kills the child (stupidity on the part of the parent; you don't beat a child out of anger), it hardens the child (stupidity on the part of the child) or it makes the child sensible (this is the whole aim of physical discipline). I'm not advocating excessive flogging. Every child needs a good flogging, stubborn or not. And trust me, they want it. |
MzLarem:Why waste your time as a parent trying to understand a child who won't bother to understand you? Every child needs a good flogging, stubborn or not. The problem with child-raising in Nigeria is the psychologists in fair weather countries who try to tell you Nigerians how to mollycoddle your children when you find yourself under very Nigerian conditions. I'm yet to see a white person who doesn't flog/beat their child - if they get whiny at the mall, they lay it into them, anywhere they want to. Yet people in backwater countries will be trying to sound like it's civilized not to flog their children. If you talk to a child and it won't listen, then flog/beat it. If it persists then deprive it of the things it loves. Either it runs away as a bitter f.ool or it learns. Each to their own choice. If it's life becomes a mess because you didn't flog/beat it, it's that same child that will turn round to accuse you of not being there to discipline it. Either way, it will look for what to say about why it's life is so good or bad. The more you call them kids, the worse they'll be. Don't you know that kids are young goats? |
ireneony:You can't grow natural hair, but theirs must be fake. Right? Not! |
banmee:Lol. His time zone tells us one thing: He is either in Nigeria, or in Berlin. It seems you're about opening something smelly. I'm watching. |
dotun4luv:Fourier analysis, though. ![]() That one was a killer. Everything Euler is just beautiful. |
Many months later. What a crawling response to a fast paced slaying spree. These herdsmen need to addressed by an outreach programme in which they are made to understand that they don't own the world, and how to coexist peacefully with the other people they find while roaming the globe. If these were marauding Southerners, I doubt the response from the Nigerian president would be so slow. Everybody would hear him talking from some foreign country with words such as "crush" and "dismantle". |
Somalia252:Lol. When did "beauty" become an achievement? All these cushitic vs Bantu posts are hilarious. |
babadee1:I didn't vote for any politician. And I never expected her to do anything about it, except admit that she knows. That's what is expected of you and the rest of her supporters. Admitting that she is not so saintly and clueless about what her father does/doesn't do. Rather you needed to ask Me what I expect her to do about it. Did I hint at wanting her to go to the EFCC? Why does everybody want the Abacha loot returned? It's basically the property of his family now, not him. |
babadee1:No. You're ridiculous if you think a child of that age is so clueless and doesn't know. |
