From a couple of telephone calls it looks like people are turning up early to wait for INEC officials. It's a good sign Nigerians are eager to demonstrate their democratic rights. |

Good day Nairalanders, Nigeria is on the verge of making history with another general election. I think it would be nice for Nigerians at home and diaspora to follow happenings in polling stations around the country from this morning till the close of the poll and as the results are announced. It would be nice to scan and upload results sheet as pasted in polling centres too. Please let nobody turn this thread into a campaign ground; it's useless. People have made up their minds already. May the best man win! Cc: Seun, lalasticlala 4 Likes |

SiriusBlack: Thanks for the concern...the COAS said nobody should "report" for the army...whatever that means...I'm done bro..if that is all the Army can say about this thread, then............... Hi Sirius, I don't know you, I don't know anything about you.... Hey, I am sure none of us can. But through your eyes thousands of us have come to see the fight the NA is undertaking in the North East with a new perspective. Many of us have come to appreciate the NA more through your efforts. I honestly don't know why, but I feel so sad that you are forced to leave us. You have come to symbolize what we want in the average Nigerian Soldier; intelligent, knowledgeable, focused, courageous and confident. It feels like I am missing a family member! God be with you sir. You will be home before long to the arms of your loved ones and in the hearts of your grateful compatriots! Just make sure you keep them journals. One day, I hope to be first in line to buy a copy. History and Nigerians unborn will be immensefully grateful. Stay safe! 1 Like |

This thread is doing more PR for the security services than 3000 Mike Omiri & Co combined. Following this thread I have come to identify with the hope, concerns, morale, frustrations, pride, patriotism, and sacrifice these military boys are going through. For the first time in a long while I feel the pride reading about the resilience of these our "boys". I just feel sadness that what they truly need is yet to get to them. Any time I get here I always wish I were in position of authority to do all Sirius Black has been suggesting. I just wonder what we as ordinary citizen can do to help our boys in uniform......what? Godspeed troops, we got nothing but love and prayers for you. 9 Likes |

Politics / Re: 10 Outrageous And Exorbitant Proposals Of Nigeria's 2014 Budget by tiarabubu: 11:08am On Jan 03, 2014 |
I think there are some outrageous items there but also there are some perfectly logical allocations that makes sense. Here is my take; 1. Newspapers No surprises there. The Presidency comprises several parastatals: National Hospital, BPP, BPE, NBC etc. The State house has a formidable bureaucracy comprising the President, VP and senior aides, Permanent Secretaries, Directors, Deputy Directors, Special Assistants, Secretaries etc. Also, there are archives, libraries, meeting rooms, waiting lounges etc that will be supplied papers. It is fair to concede that these people will be supplied Newspapers. If just 30 Punch Newspapers is supplied per day @ 150, thats N4,500. If that is extended to 10 Newspapers. that will be N45,000 . There are also magazines, journals and foreign publications that will be bought for archival and perusal by those who should know. So I think this expenditure is in order. 2. Villa Zoo This one is indefensible. Who ever included this in the budget should be caged for life! Zoo? In the State House? And 14.5 for two animals? Are they buying Dragons? Utter nonsense. 3. Budget Preparation Actual serious budget preparations require money. Whether that is done in this Country is obvious. There are needs for state surveys, sector analysis and surveys, data crunching, review meetings, consultations, even hiring and purchases of specialist software (e.g. for what if analysis, modelling etc),hiring of consultants in some cases etc. But are these done? I am not sure of the cost and I doubt if it is properly applied 4. Another Private Jet Even if you are a GEJ die hard fan, this one is so indefensible. I am sure GEJ himself will have no justification for this. This is callous and wicked spending 5. Fuelling Generators This is expected. Unless the OP is contesting figures. The other day a VC was complaing that his campus spends N1.8 million a month running Generator due to unreliable power supply. Its a no brainer. 6. Foreign and Local Trips of the Presidency I am sure that this money is to cater for GEJ's outrageous entourage (BTA and hotel bills etc). Its outrageous. 7. Good Governance Tour Outrageous. Fashola is sooo on point on this one 8. Magical block of classrooms *falls from iroko tree* If someone is not fired for this..... Well... Odua is still around abi? Hope NASS does the needful. 9. State house feeding There must be rats in the state house stealing expensive cutlery. How else can one explain the purchase of cutlery year in year out? Do they expire? and the cost is too outrageous. 10. Airport Flowers This one interests me. One needs to see the actual line description in the Budget. If it says landscaping, I could agree that landscaping (hard and soft, earth movement and drains, pavements and surfacing etc) for such a place can cost a lot. But just flowers is indefensible. One principle of landscaping is the use of local plants to ensure ease of maintenance. And following that principle, the cost is on the high side 1 Like |

Islam for Muslims / Re: A Muslim's View Of The Ban On Alcohol In Kano State by tiarabubu: 10:48pm On Dec 02, 2013 |
BetaThings: Unfortunately, you are not a very good debater that is why I seldom reply you. In your haste to reply you very easily lose context, focus and synergy. I will make an exception today and give a short reply for the sake of your minions. And by the way, the answer to Muslim's missteps is not "Non-Muslims did it too" or "Non-Muslims caused it". Unfortunately, comparing the biased action of a University with that of a whole State like kano confirms your lack of ability to balance an argument. Unfortunately for you, what you are saying this has been a reoccuring complaint of the Non-Muslim community in places like UDU and even KSU. It is no qualms for Kastina state to build 34 of Mosques with government funds (over a quarter of a billion naira) while some of its citizens are non-muslims and it has more pressing socioeconomic problems! But I let it be so you go figure. The resistance to Islamic banking was about the CBN using government money to promote a bank that is based on religion. This was the reason for the opposition - e.g. setting up of "expert Council" within the CBN made up of Islamic Scholars, using CBN money to promote the bank etc. That was CAN's official position. Of course, others misunderstood, misinterpreted and of course even some Christians misunderstood CAN's official position. CAN's position carried the day as CBN allowed private individuals to fund the bank and did not carry out that misstep of using government money to spend on a religious based bank. And crucially, there were no burning of mosques and murders etc during the Islamic banking debate. As per your opposition to drinking, thats your problem. As bad as it is, as long as it is not illegal, you can only persuade people through education and reason not some brute force 16 century style of coercion. As per people not covering up... What is your idea of covering up? If a lady dresses normally and decently and you are still hot under the collar because of exposed hair or face, check yourself. Its your twisted perverted mind that is the problem and not the girl. As per the Christmas tree, you are joking right? When Muslims were at the helm and bought hundreds of goats and distributed during sallah at the government expense, who complained? Did you know the Minister of FCT and almost all northern governors distributed rams with government money too? Who protested? I was in Nigeria during the last Sallah and many major intersections in Abuja had large signboards proclaiming Sallah greetings from the MFCT, who protested? In fact I will stop here before I unwittingly become guilty of what I am accusing you of. Just know that Kano was wrong in that action, pure and simple. That action should be judged for what it is . Claiming non-muslims "actions" as the basis for the action is sooooo lame. 36 Likes |
Islam for Muslims / Re: A Muslim's View Of The Ban On Alcohol In Kano State by tiarabubu: 10:48pm On Nov 30, 2013 |
hybee_noni: One more reason to make some people brand/continue to brand Islam an intolerant religion. While some Muslims insist on their rights in places they are in minority, other Muslims deny some other people those same rights. And for some twisted logic, its ok?! Just to be clear, I dont do or support alcohol consumption for health and religious reasons, but I believe those who choose to do so can do so. Its a free country and they have the same right to love the bottle as I have the right to despise it. They can sleep on it, but I will never taste of it - Its their choice and its my decision. End of story. For one the alcohol were seized ON THEIR WAY into Kano. Is the Kano government saying to blazes with non-muslim bear drinkers, we DONT respect your rights to the bottle? What will the same government say if another state were to say to blazes with Muslims, we dont want to see you in Hijab in public, wear it in your homes? Some people will be here scream of their rights as Nigerians to freedom of religion while forgetting that some peoples freedoms to the bottle are being crushed to smithereens in Kano. Infact lets not even start with the hypocrisy of Kano receiving VAT money, a large part funded by tax on the very bottle this hisbah are breaking. The OP is right and I am pleased that some Muslims see this for what it is - hypocrisy. Sad, really sad.

alnaijiri: I applaud this gesture for peace, but the real issues remain unsolved. Jos is a Northern state, traditionally a Muslim area. Xians there should either convert back to Islam or move out. Why should the original inhabitants That is the same question some of us are asking Muslims who go to places like France, Switzerland and Britain and demand that the British and French change their customs and cultures to accommodate Muslims. Why must they agree to segregation, halal meat, sariah zones, hijab, polygamy and shariah law when these things are clearly against their local customs? By the way Jos is not a State and its traditionally not a "Muslim" area. Its Berom land and every Nigerian is free to live there as I once did. No one has to convert to any religion. Unless you also think the Hausas in Onitsha should convert to Christianity or leave. Do you? Its people like you that are causing problems in Jos and Nigeria at large. So sad. |

Religion is a very personal matter. The Igbos (or whoever for that matter) have the 100% right to choose their religion (or remain without one). I just hope that the same people celebrating them today will have no qualms when they choose to leave. Its a free world and I hope it stays so when that time comes. |
