God damn these heartless students. Yes, it's fair to protest the unfair hike in school fees. But burning down supermarkets and filling stations where innocent Nigerians are trying to eke out an honest living? That's plain evil, and I hope the police can fish out the ringleaders for severe punishment.

I can understand when misguided and illiterate almajiris go on rampage, killing people on an ethnic and religious basis.
We can say they are misguided, controlled by the powerful educated northern elite.

It confounds me to no end when educated people like EzeUche above display tribalism and ethnic bias. Unlike the almajiris, you have absolutely no excuse for this form of deranged myopia.
We come from a negroid race that was enslaved by first the Arabs, then the caucasians for profit. These slave masters were able to justify slavery with the excuse that our race was inferior in all aspects. Yet now we have exchanged racial superiority for tribal superiority - and we do not realise that both are similar evils.


Pathetic.

a relativly harmless std, one that will ensure noone will wanna touch your little friend. could be worse (lord only knows what you exposed yourself to already)

as to your celabacy (a whopping 12 days worth)- you want a cookie? a gold star? a standing ovation? what? you finaly start acting your age and having atleast a slight bit of respect for your vows and now you want me to throw you a parade?

You haven't exactly been giving mature, 5-star advice here, have you?
Helping him in a mature, decent way is also helping him save his marriage. He's already struggling with guilt, why does piling on more guilt seem like an intelligent idea to you?

I think it's pathetic how we're all coddling someone who's been nursing a grudge for 13 years, perhaps unfairly. he cheated on her before marriage, as long as she's got no evidence that he's cheating on her again, why would the thought of 'getting back at him' be in her mind?

The person who's clearly the villain of this piece is the OP. In front of the altar you took a pledge to remain faithful to your husband, and to love him unconditionally until you die. Yet here you are, mentally ready to break that pledge on a whim - and you expect us to feel sorry for you?!

IF you catch him cheating, it's a different story. until then. . .

Livvvvy:
@poster.
I feel your pain. I guess for years now, you have been living with this pain.

Just as you have been advised, don't waste your dignity because of your hubby's unfaithfulness.

You can change your husband only if you are patience. Keep praying for him, keep loving him, do those things you know will always make him come back to you.
Don't quarrel with him, just continue to show him love until he realizes himself.

Nwaka77:
I wonder too but I am not suprised. The man who cheated is not being reprimanded but the woman is. That is why Naija is a terribly backward country because of the useless male negroes we have in that country who cannot keep that AIDS infested private part in their pant. And yes, intimacy is all men think about that is why they can work for years to build their lives and loose everything just because of the private part of the opposite gender. May AIDS continue to send them to their graves!

For the love of Mike, did you dimwits even bother to read the original post before jumping to conclusions?
The bitterness is strong in these ones.

Pls lets hold our troat oh

Apart from corruption, one of Nigeria's main problems is overpopulation. We have too many mouths to feed and too few resources (after the corrupt guys get through with the national cake) to go round.

Nigerians like yourself with low mental acuity and a critically low IQ can do us all a favor by buying a stout length of Hemp rope, locating the nearest tree and hang yourself.

Re'tard.

Beaf:
Perhaps, there will be a change from simply handing out oil blocks to the Chinese without bidding. That's like selling our soul's for peanuts.
If the US and West should be allowed to bid against the Chinese. That's how open and transparent markets work.

I'm really apprehensive about these Chinese people.

pcmecom:
A few months ago, I brought this information to this forum, declaring that "global warming" and "climate change" was not man-made, and it was being masterminded by western countries to prevent and restrict the growth of developing countries. I was labelled a conspiracy theorist and anti-western individual. But I guess the truth is beginning to surface.

The fact that the US has not been too keen in the past to cut down on sources of greenhouse gases should show you that your theory of 'western nations' is pretty flawed.

I always find it funny when you constantly insist that you aren't a conspiracy theorist. The lies of one man does not mean that there is no genuine threat of global warming. And why the burning need to turn climategAte into the failings ofseveral nations, instead of the sins of a few scientists?

@pcmecon
I will ignore the obvious fact that you copied and spared this description from a website, a definitely one with a conspiracy theory slant.
More importantly, you have failed to show how this scheme that sends high frequency waves upwards into the atmosphere is capable of causing a 7.0 magnitude earthquake. And with enough precision to be able to move the absolutely massive tectonic plates with enough precision to target Haiti's capital.

And this is where you people fail. Your theories fail the common sense test.

Shoot2Kill:
Please Mr Tectonic plates try to debate like someone who is able to read and UNDERSTAND the English language! We are not discussing the cause of natural earthquakes here we are examining the possibility of the USA using it's weather weapon to attack Haiti. There is a clear difference between the two.

Why don’t you go and ask the people of Hiroshima to describe tectonic plates to you, since Nuclear bombs are natural disasters too!?

And please show me a link or video that details the epicenter of the Haiti quake as well has where the plates shifted. I have been watching all the media channels and not one of them has been able to show a diagram of where the plates shifted. What do you have to say about that?

Why did the USA commandeer the airport and subject other relief agencies to unnecessary checks which caused a lot of delays and resulted in more Haitians dying of hunger. Even on CNN an Irish relief worker expressed his anger at the US marines for causing all those delays

Do you know that the Navy ship "USS Carl Vinson" off the coast of Haiti when the quake happened? How was the USA able to respond and send in troups so fast,that was way too fast.It was as if they marines planned for it.

Why do you keep exposing your ignorance to the world? So you expect to see tectonic plates on the surface, abi?
I had my suspicions based on your writing style and your subpar reasoning skills, but this confirms that your secondary and tertiary education was not well delivered.

Unlike Nigeria, the US has troops on standby ready for rapid deployment. Considering the fact that Haiti is pretty close to the US, why raise alarms?
Did you expect it to take three months?

@blacksta

The HAARP project became the subject of controversy in the mid-1990s, following claims that the antennas could be used as a weapon. In August 2002, a critical mention of HAARP technology came from the State Duma (parliament) of Russia. The Duma issued a press release on the HAARP written by the international affairs and defense committees, signed by 90 deputies and presented to then President Vladimir Putin. The statement claimed:
The U.S. is creating new integral geophysical weapons that may influence the near-Earth medium with high-frequency radio waves , The significance of this qualitative leap could be compared to the transition from cold steel to firearms, or from conventional weapons to nuclear weapons. This new type of weapons differs from previous types in that the near-Earth medium becomes at once an object of direct influence and its component.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Frequency_Active_Auroral_Research_Program#Controversy

I ask for a description in your own words, and you quote Wikipedia?

Now, let's walk through this together

these days ignorance is not an excuse!!

You see those links you posted? All of them show arrays of antennas pointing upwards, and all of them agree that HAARP's modus operandi is to energize the ionosphere.

Now, with your knowledge of JSS3 Geography and at least a basic grasp of Physics, kindly explain how radio frequency waves directed at the atmosphere can cause a significant enough movement of the massive tectonic plates to register a magnitude 7.0 earthquake.

And for once, answer the darn question instead of dodging.

Sheesh!! Imagine having to explain plate tectonics to people who really should know better. Didn't any of you take Geography in secondary school?

You all did, didn't you? it's a core subject. That's why you need to pay attention in class when you're being taught stuff.

MCLOVIN:
HAARP Technology would do that, yes.
But even old fashioned 5 megaton nuke-testing would do just as well.


http://www.rense.com/general61/earthquakestsunamisand.htm

I've asked the question of you people several times, but none of you is bold enough to take up the gauntlet.
Don't point me to any shitty link, tell me what you understand by 'HAARP technology'. In your own words.

As Wikipedia puts it, the HAARP project is the holy grail of conspiracy theories!


PS: While it's relatively easy to create a tidal wave or tsunami by displacing water though a large explosion, it is almost an exercise in futility to move a tectonic plate to cause an earthquake.

dejiariyo:
HIv ,Global warming ,9-11 ,Swine flu are all man made  if u dont believe me will give u an example of what happened in 1995 when i was still in nigeria.Pfizer imported some deadly drugs into Nigeria and started testing on innocent kids for the cure of meningitis.Load of kids became deformed and there were thousands of deaths after the test, if that can happen in 1995 ,what might have happened with their story of Hiv was from africa wen its was in record that the first case was found among gay men in America. see this link dumbasses

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/1517171.stm

How does the Pfizer drug test mean that HIV, Swine Flu et al are man made? Was Pfizer's Trovan a virus?
See the person calling others 'unintelligent'. here you are claiming 'thousands of deaths' whereas in the link you provided, it clearly shows that 11 people died.
Either you're a shameless liar, or you're just plain unintelligent. Frankly, i think it's a mix of both.

The first DETECTED case of AIDS was in America. It doesn't mean that people hadn't been dying of the disease elsewhere before people caught on to it. Do you know how many people die in Nigeria of unknown causes, with their deaths being ascribed to 'fever'?

So apparently, your point is that Pfizer (aka 'the Americans' in your twisted mind) came deliberately testing Trovan in Nigeria. Are you aware that Trovan was on sale commercially in the US to up to 300,000 patients monthly? So the Evil Americans even went as far as selling the 'deadly drugs' to kill their own citizenry, abi?

dejiariyo:
Everyone in America should take down their Barrack Obama portrait and put up a picture of a Pentagon right after that so-called terrorist attack. They should look at it and say "I am a slave now because I let the government tell me a plane punched a hole in this building and left no wing or tail fin marks and the passe, ngers and black boxes evaporated" Now all we do is chase phantom terrorist and kill people.

So a huge passenger plane slams into a building at hundreds of miles per hour, yet you're expecting to find perfectly cut delta wing or tail-fin marks, abi?
Just when i thought you people couldn't get more pathetic, you lower the bar yet again!

Gamine:
Last price? my friend!

Igbanibo:
It is plausible that heating up the ionosphere, droughts and earthquakes could result. It is not a conspiracy theory, I have seen documentaries on that here in the US.

you've seen 'documentaries', huh? Oya, share with us the principle behind tectonic movement due to energization of the ionosphere.

I wonder why we no dey see earthquakes anytime there is a solar flare?

@Shoot2Kill
so you admit you have no idea on what causes an earthquake. Good.

Now, you and pcmecon should take up the gauntlet I dropped. Tell us what you think HAARP is.
Tell us in your own words, not the usual links you copy from these cookie-cutter conspiracy theory sites and claim as 'evidence of truth'

pcmecom:
@texappette
Still in denial, maybe you can start your research on "HAARP"!!!! find out what "HAARP" is and what is capable of doing?

Kindly note that I didnt insult you, please lets try and stick to the issue. Thanks

"All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident".

Why don't you start by explaining to us what you think HAARP means?
Take up this challenge now!

Snowwy:
Paying tithe/firstfruits/offerings is not by force.
However, don't wonder why somethings are happening for some and nothing for you.

This is the same thing you people use to confuse others into parting with their hard earned cash.
in all your lengthy writeup, you talked about TITHE, FIRST FRUITS and SOWING SEEDS.
I see absolutely nothing about Charity, even when JEsus and the first Apostles talked constantly on the need for love and charity for the suffering.
This is why Christianity in Nigeria is fast losing the plot.

pcmecom:
what do you think?

Why do you feel the need to just post any dubious piece of information you see on the internet? And why exactly do you frequent all these sites?

All these links you post have something in common; they are always poorly designed, always full of spurious information.

So the US wants to keep haiti poor, eh? So how does that dovetail with the fact that the US has been the biggest source of foreign aid to Haiti for the past 2 decades? Or the fact that the US is in the fight to ensure haiti's debt is cancelled completely?
So the UN was looking for an excuse to send troops to haiti. Did your friends at your favourite conspiracy websites not tell you that there have been over 8000 UN troops in haiti since 2004? Did they tell you that even there, there were some slums in haiti the police and the UN forces did not dare to enter due to the danger, and any incursion there was only when supported by armoured vehicles?

So if in 2005, there were large groups of armed gangs that roamed the streets, how much more in 2010 when more people are desperate, resources are few and the entire prison populace is now loose due to the damage to the prisons?

As a wise man once said, "There are none so blind as those who will not see"!

pcmecom:
@ blacksta
                 You are right, there is nothing anyone can do at the moment, but there is need to create public awareness so that people can begin to understand what is really happening behind the scenes.

Please dont be quick to dismiss the poster as a conspiracy theorist or a crackpot, that was exactly how I felt when the information first reached me.
Dont believe everything you read or watch on TV, endeavour to do your own research

Exactly why obsessive conspiracy theory is a mental illness.
You display acute paranoia, and (in your own words) a desperate desire to 'understand what is happening behind the scenes'.

Only thing is, there's usually nothing out of the ordinary happening behind the scenes.

You say HAARP was the cause of the Haiti earthquake. Yet not one of you people have wondered why a 'weapon' that is designed to pulse ionizing rays into the ionosphere was supposedly fired and still no reported atmospheric disturbances, no drastic weather changes, no disruption in communications, NOTHING. None of you wonder that this makes no sense from a geology and physics point of view.
Your proof? unverified postings from conspiracy theory websites.

@Shoot2kill

This is the 21st century now, and oil and gas exploration is done by not only Governments, but also by massive multinational companies whose only allegiance is to their shareholders and their bottom line.

If oil was in Haiti to that extent, what would have kept away Shell, Chevron, Total, Exxon Mobil et al?

Funny how the only references to this Haitian husband and wife 'scientist' team are from this one article in a Haitian newspaper.

The only photo of them is standing in front of the logo of the newspaper.

His scientific 'study' can be found nowhere.

Of course, this didn't stop this nonsense from being posted on over 40,000 blogs and kook sites, all of them referencing each other as the 'source'.

Gotta love the internet, every time i see one of you on Nairaland post stuff as brainless as this, it helps me identify one more re'tard.

dejiariyo:
am not a conspiracy theorist but there is a weapon that can cause a earth quake of such magnitude.I studied raido science and from what i know and the little knowledge of haarp that i have, There are possibilities that Haarp (might) have caused it.
The Haarp being used as a weapon is Highly possible cos of the amount of Ionospheric heating its projects into the atmosphere, there is some discovery that haarp can also be used to control minds,i dont want to go into details cos its still not confirmed but everyone on here can also do their research as well.

pls ask yourself this questions :https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?action=post;topic=396950.0;num_replies=30

1)what is global warming and is it man made or not.

2) why are they making noise about 2012 recently.

And for the poster who said how can a weapon cause a earth quake of this magnitude,will post you one of my former lecturer Dr Nick Begich,its might help you a little,

[flash=450,450]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhJfkh0e3l0&hl=en_GB&fs=1&"[/flash]

And how does a mythical weapon that supposedly 'heats up the ionosphere' cause a massive tectonic movement? Do you re'tards even know what an earthquake is?

So the US supposedly fired this magical weapon that 'heated up the ionosphere'. Care to explain why absolutely no weather or atmospheric anomaly was detected by any weather agencies? And if the ionosphere - the conductive layer of the atmosphere - was energized so violently, why no disruptions reported in satellite signal quality, why no drops in GPS signals? Why no surges or spikes as usually seen when the ionosphere is energized by Solar flares?

Please, gentlemen, some common sense is required here. Now we know those who were sleeping during Geography and Physics classes in secondary school.

Anybody who believes this crap should go back to Primary school immediately.
What weapon would cause an earthquake of that magnitude? Even a nuclear explosion would not be enough to cause significant tectonic movement. Why are some of you so daft to swallow the craziest theories from conspiracy theorist sites?
I am extremely disappointed, and this only confirms my initial impression of Shoot2kill as a person of extremely limited intellect.

Even SS1 students know how earthquakes come about. It's okay for you guys to be anti-american, just don't be dumb Nigerians while you're at it.

Look, i lost as much as most of you in the stock market crash (read: millions). But i still have a brain. And i know where blame is due in this matter.
Truth be told, many of you Sanusi haters are driven by religious or ethnic bias.

PapaBrowne:
I would just pose one question to you.
The economic crises started in Nigeria in January of 2008(stock price crash) and accelerated in October 2008(Oil price fall).
How come for over a year after up until August 2009, banks were still able to pay huge salaries, meet up with depositors demands, build more branches, pay dividends, etc and yet they did not collapse.
How come Sanusi tells us they were about to collapse when there were no signs of such??
They had problems like every other bank worldwide did, no doubt. But they surely weren't about to collapse
Always ask questions. Don't just swallow hook, line and sinker every thing you hear.

Up until Enron crashed, were the workers not being paid salaries? All the banks that went under in the US, did they fail to pay salaries? Were there any stories of Lehman Bros failing to 'pay salaries and build more branches' in the months before the collapse?

See the kind of question a so-called economics specialist is asking. This only goes to show you armchair critics really are clueless.
See the

slyfoxxjoe:
if this story is true then i must say it is in sharp cotradiction to everything obama preached and stood for during his campaign (which is normal for a politician anyway) why bad moyth and pretend like u have no intrest in nigeria then turn around and send your top deligates to meet with nigerian officials for "hidden agenda's" why advocate democracy then send your assistant secretary of state to meet with the worst tyrant known in nigerian history? any negotiations beetwen the US and nigeria should be done with the current president or foriegn affairs minister not a past leader and a corrupt one for that matter!, they should respect our constitution and soveriegnty enough to relate with us the formal and appropriate way!, i love obama a lot but i think he is begining to make some realy silly decisions.

I beg to differ. Was it not the same Obama that drew criticism during the campaign for insisting that he'd talk to the 'enemies' if that would bring peace? is it not the same Obama who is amenable to reaching out to moderate members of the Taliban if that could end the war in Afghanistan early enough, and if that could help keep out the infinitely worse Al Qaeda?
if Obama can dialogue with the North Koreans (with their human rights record), why not IBB?

The oil is not the main thing here - the US can get oil elsewhere if pressed to the wall. Besides, there is no credible reason for Obama to feel the supply line of oil from Nigeria is threatened. it is far more important to prevent Nigeria falling into chaos, a situation that Al Qaeda would be all too eager to exploit.
if you thought Somalia was bad, wait until what happens in Northern Nigeria if/when this nation of 150 million people collapses.

To bring peace in Iraq, the Americans now know they must reach out to the disgruntled but influential members of Saddam Hussein's baath party. Why would they now sideline a figure as influential as IBB for such critical talks?

But this is nairaland. And you people need an excuse to mention the CIA - your boogeyman - as the source of all your problems.
Pathetic.

Vigasimple
You must be my hidden twin, because you took the word out of my mouth.
The only true revolution in Nigeria is to vote out the PDP. Vote them out at all levels, in the Senate, House of Reps, Local Government Council, everywhere. Nigeria's main problem is that we're a one-party state at the moment. And this must end!

The hilarious thing is that not one of you has the slightest idea on the agenda the US rep will be discussing with Babangida. So why jump to conclusions?

As for those who feel the world will be better off having the Chinese as the sole superpower, i laugh in Etsako!!

@Shoot2Kill
When making your points, can't you at least TRY and sound intelligent?

Anyway, the article clearly says IBB and other influential politicians will be contacted. Singling out IBB was merely to generate a sensationalist headline.

Finally, no matter how many rabid, paranoid fantasies you have about the CIA, it's obvious that America's main concern is not with the oil, but the long term stability of Nigeria. An unstable Nigeria will be a massive breeding ground for the next generation of Islamic terrorists. And no-one wants that.
