Stop picking on Gamine and use your brains instead. The truth is this thread could have been a little more welcoming to people of other Tribes in Edo State. It's plain to see she came into this thread with high expectations, only to see people focusing primarily on the Bini people.

@Gamine
take a chill pill and relax. You're actually sending this topic into chaos. Explain where you're coming from and let's settle this amicably!

@all
The gums bleed pretty easily, and a strong toothbrush can easily cause that kind of trauma to happen.
I actually heard the story long before. It was in one of the papers, i can't remember which one.

Meanwhile, like I said, I'm tired of you please I have nothing else to tell you.

@texazzpete

are you that desperate that you know resort to clutching at straws of an ugly Ofunneka in Big Brother Africa in order to discuss international diplomatic issues regarding Nuclear Weapons?

You're simply amazing!

Ah! so you do have something else to tell me! Brilliant!
Referring to your unpatriotic act on that thread was just a way of showing you how hypocritical you truly are.
Perhaps you only become a flag-waving Patriot when the US (or a certain black woman who's WAY, WAY richer than you'll probably ever be) is involved?
Ridiculing a fellow Nigerian for an entirely shallow reason. . .Patriotism according to denex!

Here's what you said

denex:
Nigeria, just like Iran has started moving to develope nuclear energy and already we are being tagged as a threat to the entire world. So before you make conclusion based on what you heard in western media about Iran, find out what this Western Media are saying about a dangerous Nuclear Nigeria.

Now the article you pointed to said Nigeria has had problems keeping track of radiocative materials and that missing or stolen radioactive materials are being sought out by terrorists.
What you said however was that the Western World is tagging Nigeria (not terrorists) as being a threat to the entire world! And there was NOTHING in that article about a 'dangerous Nuclear Nigeria'. In fact, nowhere in that article was Nigeria's desire for Nuclear Power criticised.
Yet another glaring example of your deliberate tale-telling.
Don't you know it diminishes you when you HAVE to resort to lies and word-play to push a point across? I pity you.

It may escape your below-average IQ, but having a soft spot for a country doesn't actually mean 'brainwashing'. Heaven forbid you're actually accusing Hasbro and DC Comics of deliberately employing subversion tactics and mind control comics in the '80s.

Your type is fairly common. They spout misinformation like a mantra, deliberately obfuscating facts and logic.
I'm pleased you have nothing else to say. I was already getting tired of trying listening to your childish thoughts. Move along now.

does anyone know where i can find the HTC tytn in nigeria? I need that phone

Lol! It's a wonderful fone. . .
I bought mine in lag, i can give you the addy and number if you like. Lemme know if i cn add u 2 my YIM.

@Poster
it's official. the P990i is the worst fone in the world. My pal's p990i suddenly stopped working, probably due to a corrup firmware.
Unlike most other popular smartphones around, you cannot update it or reflash it unless you've booted it up and connected to the internet through the phone software. Now since the fone cannot boot, it's impossible to update or repair the firmware.
Unlike any other Nokia or WinMo smartphone out there, you can't even Hard Reset the crap phone.

Took the bloody phone on a 3 week visit to Holland, the Sony Centre guys say they need 4 weeks to repair. Bottom line is, phone comes back with me unfixed, prolly dead. naturally, not even the Otigba and alaba guys can fix.

My advice? AVOID AT ALL COSTS the SE p990i. instead, aim for the p1i, dunno if that's out yet.

@denex
Now i see you're entirely beyond hope. How does that link even insinuate Nigeria poses a threat to the western world? Please kindly read the article you linked to again. if need be, read it with any of your fellow western-haters, preferrably one more versed in reading and comrehending written english.

All your arguments point to a lack of logical reasoning. It is a sad thing indeed that you're unworthy of the cause you've taken up. It would indeed have been a pleasure discussing (or even arguing) with a rational fellow who i could actually hear something worth learning from. Alas, your extreme bias and lack of balanced reason render you useless for that purpose. All you are, then, is a time-wasting diversion.

@Afam, denex
How do you feel when you allege that some of us think the US 'can do no wrong' while at the same time you hold the maxim that the US can do no right. Just like vultures you crop up when something even looks likely to portray the US in a negative light.

Denex, your case is even more pathetic. In fact, i couldn't help laughing out loud when i saw your post in the 'Big Brother Africa' thread urging Nigerians to vote out the Nigerian representative based on the fact that she was 'ugly'. So much for patriotism.

Here's a friendly tip: Try and employ balanced reasoning next time. When you see an article, don't paste only the parts you like, k? Also think things through before you post. It might just make you look a little less silly

I usually have a bone to pick with denex, but i recognise he's an intelligent feller, he just strays too much in the conspiracy theorist area once in a while and he has a way of presenting 'tainted' info.

You two clowns, however, have proven yourselves extremely dull, pathetically imbecilic fellows, not just in this thread but on other posts too.
One of you idiots had the guts to question the way i reason. I haven't seen any proof he uses sound reasoning in his arguments. WTH has this got to do with a time bomb?

Go away and dispose of yourself in whatever way suits you!

denex:
@texazzpete
was it not you that tried to downplay the mass casualty of Hiroshima by comparing it with people that starved to death in Leningrad.

@denex
Here's what i said

Perhaps the fact that it happened 62 years ago means something? besides, If you think the bombing of Hiroshima was the worst thing that happened during World War 2, ask the 1 million civillians that starved to death in Leningrad, and the 1.5 million killed in Stalingrad.


Contrary to your warped thinking, this was never an attempt to downplay the deaths in Hiroshima. All this was intended to show the poster that it isn't everything that's given special media prominence, especially things that happened long ago.


If anything, between the two of us you're the one who's shown great heartlessness, and some amount of enjoyment at the deaths of others
Here's what you said on the 'US Accident Post'

God is redistributing the disasters worldwide as witnessed daily in Iraq. This was the testimony given by John Stewart last weekend.

I hope they find it as entertaining as the Iraqi war has been.

And you feel the above statement shows any sort of concern or sympathy for the dead? Whether or not you agree with the conduct of the war in Iraq, people died and you were so mean about it. Yet you dare accuse me of what you've been practising? Shameful

denex:
Nigeria, just like Iran has started moving to develope nuclear energy and already we are being tagged as a threat to the entire world. So before you make conclusion based on what you heard in western media about Iran, find out what this Western Media are saying about a dangerous Nuclear Nigeria.

Excellent! Now please prove my opinion of you as an inveterate liar is unfounded by providing links to any credible article insinuating Nigeria's nuclear ambition is a dangerous threat to the Western World.

denex:
What kind of mistakes are people making when they say:
"The habitation of these people on the Island will afford most valuable ecological radiation data on human beings."


Did you read the part of the report where it said:

On March 1 1954, Bikini Atoll weather conditions were reported as unfavourable and "task force 7" directs several US ships to move 20 miles south to remove them from the expected fallout zone. But the local inhabitants of the Island were left behind?

Are you blind or you just choose to be blind when it comes to the bestial horrors the USA has inflicted on humanity?

Blind? I don't think so. I do know that if i was so inclined to write up on what really happened that day, i would seek a neutral, non-biased source to ensure accurate info. I'm not outrightly disputing the source, but i'm saying there's a serious possibility of bias.
What i do know is that you've doctored the original article which said:

On March 1 1954, Bikini Atoll weather conditions were reported as unfavourable and "task force 7" directs several US ships to move 20 miles south to remove them from the expected fallout zone.

denex:
On March 1 1954, Bikini Atoll weather conditions were reported as unfavourable and "task force 7" directs several US ships to move 20 miles south to remove them from the expected fallout zone. But the local inhabitants of the Island were left behind?

The line 'But the local inhabitants of the Island were left behind?' was deliberately added by yourself to give the false impression that the Bikini Island was inhabited and said inhabitants were left behind. Why? Do you take special solace in lies? Are you so intellectually challenged that you must make up false information to suit your logic?

The truth is, even you should not be so stupid to post such rubbish. For a fellow to accept that the Castle Bravo nuke was 1000 times stronger than Hiroshima, in an area vastly smaller than Hiroshima was, doesn't it make you feel stupid to write of 'survivors'? All but the dumbest of your acolytes will recognise this as crappy logic.
Lucky for you, then, that osereka and PawPaw have pathetically low IQs so they could easily swallow this shyte.

Now, let me tell you where i'm coming from. I have a somewhat soft spot for the US and the UK, dunno why, perhaps it's because i grew up reading all those crazy GI Joe comics and things like that, but i do. This however does not prevent me from criticizing the US and the UK whenever i feel they've done something shitty. I, for one, am totally against the war in Iraq, and i'm no fan of Bush.
However, i find myself coming out increasingly to speak in defense of these countries when people say things that are obviously false. Invariably, i speak out against terrible logic and character assassination, and it's a pity that Anti-American advocates on Nairaland do not even spend time researching their facts before launching into conspiracy theories.

It's easy to stand aside and condemn, but at times you sit back and view the wider issues. Take Hiroshima for example. just before the Hiroshima bombing, the US forces invaded the japanese held island of Okinawa. There about 70000+ japanese soldiers decided to fight to the last man. in the battle that followed, the casualties were horrendous. About 80% of the Japanese forces were killed after over a month of incredibly difficult and bitter jungle fighting and the US casualties were about 40000. The Japanese made great use of human shields out of Okinawa's civillian population, and inevitably, the fighting spread to civilian areas. When the dust settled, 150000 okinawan civillians lay dead. Thousands were bayoneted by the Japanese, and hundreds jumped over the cliffs to their death after the Japanese told the villagers that the Americans ate children and sliced open women. Do these lies sound familiar to you?

After the US armed forces reviewed the extremely high casualty count (The Battle of Okinawa also recorded the highest number of US stress related ailments), the carnage tipped the decision towards the use of the Bomb, considering the fact that an invasion of the Japanese Mainland would trigger casualties more than 10 times that number.

I do not excuse or condone the use of the Nuclear Bomb. However, i cannot judge too harshly martial decisions taken in wartime, especially considering the circumstances. The world had just gone through 5 years of gruelling, harrowing war. a savage war that you cannot possible imagine. At Okinawa, for example, dead japanese corpses litterd the jungle floor until they decayed and the troops eventually had to fight through maggot strewn fields. At stalingrad and Leningrad, millions starved to death fighting.
over 150000 japanese died as a result of the nuclear bombs. Imagine how many Japanese and Americans would have died in a land invasion of Japan. And if you know the japanese then, surrender was never an option, in fact it was the ultimate disgrace.

Nagasaki, however, was totally uncalled for. I cannot for the life of me see reason why a second Bomb was dropped.


Whatever your opinion though, this all happened long ago. All the authorisers of the attack are long dead. The pilot is dead. There's a new Generation of Americans and Japanese alive now, and i cannot for the life of me attack or hate Americans for the use of the nuclear bombs.
It might surprise you that as a matter of fact, neither do the Japanese.

Whether you like it or not, the US is EXTREMELY UNLIKELY to use a nuclear bomb now or in the forseeable future. Please think this through before you challenge me on this.
In Iran, however, you have a country that has openly sworn to eradicate a whole race and country (Israel). If this doesn't make you distrust their hands on a nuclear trigger, i dunno what to think.

Denex, check out this page from your fave website detailing Iran's use of chemical weaponry during the Iraq-Iran war.

How you can trust those guys is beyond me.

@denex
Despite all my pleas for you to at least consider using logic and research before mouthing off, you've continued your campaign of spreading falsehoods and malicious information in this forum.

Contrary to your claims, no nuclear missile was ever dropped on Rongelap Island. All US nuclear tests were done on Bikini Atoll, an uninhabited atoll 150 miles from Rongelap island.
The castle Bravo bomb (6 sqkm)was exploded above the Bikini atoll, and not the Rongelap Island. The large amount of fallout from this explosion was caused by an unexpected secondary reaction caused by a laboratory error and unforseen winds spread the effect as far as Rongelap, causing the radioactive incident there.

I must thank you for providing me with a great source of merriment today! To insist that the strategy in a thermonuclear war is radiation fallout is sheer lunacy! The death toll from the nuclear blast radius far outstrips that from any radioactive fallout. Which army will prefer to leave a lot of potential enemies alive, considering the fact that many of the after-effects of fallout are felt years later? Why do you think the US and Russia spent so much money building up an arsenal of nuclear weapons? If nuclear weapons are used to severely contaminate the land of opposing country, where is the conquest? Where will the victorious party occupy?
That is why nuclear weapons are usually exploded hundreds of feet above the ground. there is far more fallout from an explosion on the ground than in the atmosphere/air. The Hiroshima bomb was detonated 600 metres above ground.

denex:
texazzpete I have noticed that you hate to see people die as long as it's not the USA that is killing them. If it's the USA, then it's fun to you.

@poster
How does someone who has been earning N50 million monthly 'eke out' a living?

@all
see u guys and your double standards! when someone writes an article about Dangote, everyone's admonishing the poster to verify the source and claiming it's all a big rumour.

When it's Oprah Winfrey, no-one bothers to read the original article, let alone check the name of the paper, no one even bothers to remark on the disturbing fact that it was all from a user-submitted article on the Punch Online. the instant reaction was to point accusing fingers and start slinging truly horrendous insults.

When we complain bitterly of ethnic bias and foreign hatreds, i wonder if we see ourselves? Hell, even on the 'Goodluck Jonathan caught with naked girls on a plane' thread, people were still advising caution.

presido1:
Quoting myself again to discredit you, i never mentioned that foriegn media did not carry the news, what i wrote as you can see from the quote above in British media. ask the 1 million civillians that starved to death in Leningrad, and the 1.5 million killed in Stalingrad. mind you the bombing in Hiroshima and nagasaki are still recking havok till present and will continue till who know when. Its a perpetual havok which means casualties are still counting which may supass the leningrad any moment from now.

The bomb explosion in Nagasaki killed about 84000, this stretched to a total of about 140000 after the terminally affected people died. It is estimated that in the years between 1950 and 1990 hundreds of deaths in hiroshima and nagasaki survivors are attributable to the nuclear explosions. Currently there are 266000 Nuclear affected people living in Japan, all survivors of the original attack, and all aged now.
This is a far cry from the millions that died in Leningrad and stalingrad of starvation. Please don't make a habit of speaking out of ignorance. forget all you might have heard about hiroshima, the city is inhabited, and has been even months after the bombing. hiroshima university was even established there in 1949, and the city gets lots of visitors. By and large, the residents of the city are healthier than most Nigerians, and generally have a higher life expectancy. The myth of dangerous levels of radiation fallout is just that; a myth.

go read up on what happened in stalingrad and leningrad. I know people like denex haven't, because if anything it doesn't have anything to do with America (though funny enough the US aid and supplies helped keep the soviet war effort going). but you should, if only to appreciate how terrible large scale war can be, and how the worst civillian casualties of World War two came not from a nuclear weapon, but from starvation and premeditated massacre.

As the Zulus say, I Have Spoken.

@denex
testing a nuclear bomb on an uninhabited and remote part of an island does not translate to 'nuclear bombs were used on human beings'. Unless you're saying the Marshall Islands people are virtual supermen, how come no one died from a 15 megaton thermonuclear explosion used against them?

You further spread an untruth by saying the US tested a 15 megaton bomb. The actual test explosion was designed to be 5 MT, but a runaway chain reaction increased this to 15MT and spread an unforseen amount of fallout.
This was unfortunate and even i must admit that the initial US handling of the issue was terrible.

But your unforgivable crime was to copy and paste only the part that showed the US spending just $1 million. You cleverly failed to mention that till date the US has spent hundreds of millions of dollars in resettlement and medical treatment claims. At least in the interest of a balanced argument you should state all sides.

it has since become clear to me that a logical, balanced argument is not your aim. It is your sole aim to discredit the Americans at every turn. Good, that's your opinion. But at least have the decency to speak with truth and facts next time.

If you don't see how misleading it is to say 'nuclear bombs were used on marshall island civillians' then you can't be helped.

No.
merely to point out that those who think people that criticize naija's current state are foolish will inevitably balk at extending the same criticism to people like these two, hence invalidating their arguments.

Do y'all know that ritual scenes in our Home Videos are the reason why Naijans are the first suspects whenever any mutilated body is found in Ghana or Ivory Coast? Have any of y'all stopped to realize that 90% of the Home Videos aggressively being marketed in the UK contain scenes of ritual murder/419/gang warfare?
These contribute to give Nigeria a bad image, but trust Naijans, as selfish as we are we look for the 'softest' targets to hit. many, many Naijans know how to beef, and their fellow citizens living in the 'lap of luxury' in foreign countries will ALWAYS be attractive targets.

Any and every Nigerian reserves the right to criticize his country privately or among his peers. It's only wrong when these comments are made to outsiders.

@poster
you do realize that among all the people you are badmouthing, this includes Naija's second most famous author ever. Prof. Chinua Achebe has several times issued scathing criticisms of the Naija government from his base in the US. Kindly indicate if this brilliant man is among the 'traitors' and 'idiots' you and all your ilk have been heaping scorn on.

Silly me! I forgot that Wole Soyinka makes these kind of comments too. So now we agree that our most famous author (and our ONLY nobel prize winner) is a traitor too, abi?

denex:
So who is the real terrorist? Dropping a bomb that destroyed more than 100,000 souls and has also claimed several thousands more, yet some Nigerians praise the USA as the only country in the world that can be trusted not to use nuclear weapons.

They have used it once, and they plan to use it again.

Sorry, I meant they have used it twice (counting Nagasaki), and they plan to use it again.

Oh sorry, I meant they have used it thrice (counting the Republic of Marshall Islands) and they plan to use it again.

Kindly post evidence of the US using a nuclear weapon on any other nation apart from Japan before you start mouthing off. I implore you, think before you speak! An uninhabited portion of The Marshall islands was in use as a test site for US nuclear weapons, this was discontinued after an accidental runaway reaction increased the radioactive yield from a test bomb. It is worth noting that other nations continued to test nuclear weapons after this, including, recently, the Indians and Pakistanis. naturally, since you have no beef with the North Koreans you've refused to also note that they detonated a test nuclear missile in the upper atmosphere last year. Going by your logic, we can go around saying the North Koreans 'used' a nuclear weapon on the world abi?

presido1:
Today makes the 62th aniversary of the hiroshima atomic bombing by the US that killed 253,008 and its still counting. It was not celebrated like 9/11 or 7/7 bombing and don't think its in the British media as well

Perhaps the fact that it happened 62 years ago means something? besides, If you think the bombing of Hiroshima was the worst thing that happened during World War 2, ask the 1 million civillians that starved to death in Leningrad, and the 1.5 million killed in Stalingrad.
Contrary to your claims, foreign media carried the Hiroshima Anniversary memorial. It was carried on in CNN, and it was plastered all over yahoo news for days.

I hate this. Even if Anti-americanism must be the newest and fastes-growing fad, i hate when Nigerians can't even use their fucking brains. Anyone who cannot understand that 9/11 and 7/7 happened fairly recently and would naturally be of higher interest and impact to media services of the respective countries (US and UK) has to be a fucking idiot.

Conspiracy theorists must jump on every thread and befoul it with their ill conceived logic. Why someone can see the logic in holding the Americans responsible for the use of the Nuclear bomb, yet slyly shy away from pointing fingers at the Germans, Russians and Japanese for their far more bloody roles in the war confounds me. At least only the US and the UK weren't aggressors in WW2.

Hmm. . .you are fast turning into an accuser of the brethren. Just you wait, i'll sic Islander et al on you!

I've read all the posts here, and while i don't share Gamine's opinion completely, i think we should try and stick to the topic (which calls for all people from Edo State) and not just blather on and on about one or two major tribes.

Just my two cents. . .

And for those saying Nigeria isn't the only country with lots of corruption in all classes of people, at least realize that other countries with a similar problem are at least aggressively tackling the issue.
In China, corruption is taken a bit more seriously, last month the former head of China's food and drug safety oversight was executed for taking a quarter million pounds in bribes to approve drugs that killed dozens of people

Compare that to all the Nigerian Governors that have stolen loot and are free. Even those arrested are either free (Alams) or soon will be (Kalu, Nnamani etc).

No. I'm not saying Nigerians are the only ones doing 419. I've NEVER said that. All i've said is, like it or not, we've become the face of 419. I suspect this is because we have the highest profile of all the countries doing 419. Notice my point tha it's FAR, FAR easier to see 419 guys walking free and openly boasting of their exploits than any other country out there.
Whether or not we're the only one out there doing this isn't the answer. We have no right to indignantly complain about the '419' thing as long as we really are somewhat guilty of the crime.
If you really love your country, stop supporting these scammers that destroy your country's name.

Obvious inference? attention seeker!

Gamine. . .

Shameless attention seeker. But you're always great fun anyday!

As it stands, even when the exact words Oprah said were placed here, people here still insist on this crappy campaign of defamation.
I find it strange that Nairaland members come forward to claim that greedy and ignorant americans are to blame for 419, then when an American tries to sensitize the general public (her countrypeople!) on the dangers of 419 people are crying foul.
Are you sure you really want this 419 to stop? scam mails originating from Nigeria have the highest profile of them all, and that's obvious considering the sheer amount of emails we Naija based scammers sent. and unlike any other scam mails from other countries (eg Eastern europe) that are broad-based, the Naija email harvesters deliberately target authentic and confirmed email addresses, with special emphasis on those of professionals.
the Nigerian government has failed abysmally to stop 419. The only way to stop this is to starve them of their supply of mugus, and the only way to do that is to sensitize the general public. It's a shame that people here are so short-sighted that all they see is the immediate 'embarrasment'. if 419 runs for just 5 years more in Nigeria, nobody will ever trust a Nigerian again. It's better we stop this scourge NOW!

Also i cringe when i hear people say things like 'other countries are corrupt also' and 'white men do 419 too'. We forget that Nigeria (and to a lesser extent other West African Countries) is probably the only one that people can do 419 openly, and are admired for it. Try locating footage of gangs of half-naked Americans huddling in a Cafe sending spam mails. You won't see! In my last visit to Lagos, almost all the cafes i see are full of yahoo boys. Scammers openly patrol the streets of our Universities with the cars bought from their stolen loot. They proudly announce they are into 419 and no-one gives a hoot. In the clubs, they WANT to be known as scammers. Where else do you see such?

I laugh when i see people complain about racism. If some of y'all aren't racist, why complain loudly when an American (or white person) links Nigeria with 419, yet clap appreciatively when Osuofia seriously dents our image with his 'I go Chop your Dollar' which has fast become the Nigerian 419 theme song?

here's a comment made by a NIGERIAN at the YouTube video of 'I Go Chop Your Dollar'

Long Live Nigeria, NIGERIAN ROYALTIES 419 WE HERE AND WE TAKIN OVER THIS IS FOR DA HUSTLERS.DA HUSTLERS ATHEM WE TAKIN OVER 419 IS A NIGERIAN THING SO BASTARDS DON'T COPY, IF U HATE US GUESS WHAT U CAN'T AVOID US THERE IS SO MUCH WAYS OF 419, WE GOT SO MUCH TRICKS UP OUR SLEVES AND OOOH YEA UR NEXT.{N.I.G$I.N.R}419 THIS IS OUR MONEY NIGERIANS LETS GET IT, WE ARE NIGERIANS MORE SHADY DAN SICILIANS

View the comments and if you aren't ashamed by them, then you don't deserve to be a Nigerian.

I love my country as much as anyone else, perhaps even more. Yet i appreciate the need for constructive criticism. Anyone who comes here claiming we don't have a serious issue with 419 isn't a Patriot as they think. That's treason!

PS: Oprah did the right thing by asking viewers not to write in saying there are good Nigerians. That's the logical thing to do to avoid being swamped by a deluge of calls and emails. She did the right thing by adding that not all Nigerians are corrupt. What more do you people want?

Lets keep sentiments out of our thinking and use cold, hard logic to analyse issues, ok?

edeone:
When i saw this Topic i most say i was so disappointed to hear that Oprah,a woman of such high intelligence at list so i thought,and who is suppose to be exposed would make such a statement,she is suppose to be educated abi? so before u make such a strong statement which is known to rise issues u should have carried out a research to back it up, u can not just come out and generalize issues and label one country and everbody in it as thesame bcus of what only shes knows that happened to her.

Did you even follow your own advice before you made this post? Did you? You just made a strong statement without even researching, isn't that hypocrisy? Idiot.
