O my God, Which kind country have YOU created me

Help change our country instead of berating God for making you a Nigerian. No be people them born for Oagadogou?

This is great news and the gov should ban police check/road blocks too.

I actually thought this day won't come but finally justice has been done. Congrats Comrade !! HIP! HIP! HIP! HOORAY !!

"OUR OWN OBAMA DON BEGIN DE JOURNEY,"
He said "our own Obama" or which part of the statement didn't you understand?

@Truequest
Thanks for initiating the above discussion. Lets hope the pain and suffering the PDP continuously inflicted on us ends with this verdict.
These buffoons who are allergic to truth may resort to violence but lets wait.

@RichyBlack

How far? Hope you're following this Georgia-Russia-America thingy! I'm just waiting to see how the next president will deal with it. Bush can do nada!

With keen interest bro! Can't wait to see how this pan's out.

LASIEFAIRE:
I wonder oh.
Like someone asked in one thread, What has the Democratic party done for blacks?
Why are black republicans seen as outcast.

As a black person you have to choose the lesser evil, in this case the Democrats. The GOP don't give a hoot about poor white folks not to talk of black folks.
You should ask yourself why there are so few Black and Hispanic Republicans.
PS:
Conservatives or Reps tend to be people in their mid 40s and Democrates or liberals tend to be in their 20s.
Old people tend to hate new ideas unlike young folks.

dudu-bobo:
good arument going on here. Clearly RichyBlack is winning it.

However, could you both please cut off the insults.

Thanks

Fat chance dubo-bobo. Its nay impossible debating with 4/Play/I-man/prism without resorting to insults. I held my fire for the first 6months I debated with him. I lost it finally when he insulted my roots or something.
Thers's a saying along the line that "A fool will always beat you when you come to his level", for the fun of it, its good to come to a fool's level now and again.
I must admit he has an incredible repertoire of abuses, he's small on specifics but big in venom. Shame !!
Anyway where's the monkey I-man?

The news that Davidylan has joined the rest of the human race must be celebrated. Chineke God ! I have been away from Nairaland for far too long. Davidylan supporting Obama?

Back to topic:
Lets hope "Tigress"Hilary tears into Mccain with same relish with which she did Obama.

@4 Play
From previous debates you should know that RichyBlacK will murder you intellectually, give up now to protect any intergrity you think you still have. It's pathettic watching you dig yourself a deeper hole. (You know your argument is flawed when you resort to denying the statement you made). Please move on and stop prolonging your humilliation. Its really sad to watch.

@RichyBlack
Abeg I no fit laugh.
Its entertaining but equally obscene watching you rip this "intellectually disabled" man's credibility.
Abeg have pity on him now, wetin the man do you?

@Tayo-D

I really don't understand your point here. Why are you crucifying a man who took concrete steps to maintain the territorial integrity of his nation. Granted, the move was[b] foolish and tactless[/b], but the truth is that he would have achieved his aim if Russia did not come in and bully them.

If his move was foolish and tactless as you said, why support him?  I don't watch Fox news hence I have an original thought of my own. I won't be a  blatant cheerleader for wrong moves just  because Foxnews says so.

And please spare me the story that Russia was just protecting her citizens.

Your sarcastic attempt at dismissing  Russia protecting its citizens is pathetic.
Would you as president do nothing if (90% Russian) your  people were attacked with artillery? Would America  do the same if e.g a region in Mexico was attacked by the Mexican army with 90% white Americans?

texazzpete:
We lost bakassi because we all sat quietly like sheep.

Are you speaking for yourself?

RichyBlacK:
How dare that hopeless brigand bring Nigeria into his dirty politics? The idiot thinks by spouting those useless statistics (most of them lies), then George W. Bush would send marines to protect him from the Russians?

This shows the kind of idiot ruling Georgia, no diplomatic skill, talks too much, and praises himself unnecessarily.

I watched his press conference with Condi, the man has zero level diplomatic skill.

sly-k:
let there be peace, Amen!

Am sorry but there can't be peace when you have a gun totting man at the white house gifting little nations big guns and showing them where to point it >>>> Russia.
America invading other nations have been consistent for the last 40 or so years. When America or its allies does it, it is to spread democracy.

tpia:
People refusing to rain curses on their birthplace, doesnt mean they are blind patriots.

Your attitude says more about you than about Nigeria. You don't seem to have any coping mechanism when you're frustrated. That's not good. You're not even in the country yet you can't enjoy wherever you are because you're always busy making some lament about Nigeria.

Free your mind.

is your blind patriotism reserved solely for your perfect hometown?

You ain't seen nothing yet. No matter how bad  the bellicose actions of America is, these morons would  support America against Nigeria any day. In their mind, you can only be patriotic to America.
This is a preview of how they'll be  singing the praises of China in a few years.

Richyblack is on song here, check it:

Of course. The US is only trying to ensure the survival of her military-industrial complex, albeit from a defense perspective. A more peaceful world would spell doom for profiteers in arms, and the only way to prevent this is to cajole inconsequential but strategically located nations like Poland to be used as pawns on a chessboard as big as Poland!

Incredible story, at first I thought it was made up.

Lets see how this pan's out.

everyone keeps knocking yardua for his health issues

and a lot of them are ' yankee naijas'

I couldn't have put it better.

FIVE REASONS TO ACCEPT US BASE:
1. Nigeria need US to secure a UN permanent seat at the security council,

We need the 5 permanent members not just the US. (Any of the permanent members could veto our becoming permanent members.)

2.US is the only surviving super power and can single handedly brings prosperity or poverty to any country,

The US won't bring poverty to Nigeria because we refused them a military base. We need trade pacts not arms treaty.

3.US can denied Nigeria a permanent seat at the UN, even if all the four others vote for Nigeria

Are you running out of reasons? (See your reason number 1)

4.For strategic security in the Niger Delta, US base is not out of place

Supposing the US decides to side with peoples of the Niger Delta? (Remember the Niger Delta peoples are the one's sitting on this black gold)

5.National Survival, you cannot be enemy of the US and survive in this more or less unipolar world etc

Are you saying they will attack us if we refuse them a base?

Sorry, find a 15yr old to debate with, I have better use of my time.

Do we still still have another 2008 different from this year?

I would say yes, but in "Dog years". You see in "Dog years" we're in 2005, hope this answered your question.

@Kobojunkie
I stated above why I think Nigeria don't need an American military base, but you continually support this venture without providing reasons for your optimism. I also notice you extensively pasted word for word from the AFRICOM site . If you so believe this "I see tremendous gains" surely you should be able to tell us rather than quoting word for word what AFRICOM wants us to read.

@Kobojunkie

I see tremendous gains considering the history of our government and where we are looking to go with Nigeria as a whole now.

Please can you be specific?

Lucky Igbenedion is by far the most corrupt politician. We shouldn't base corruption on how much is stolen. Edo state will for a long time suffer the kleptomaniacal rule of Igbinedion. That man would sell his kids for a bag of cocaine.

THINGS TO PONDER BEFORE ALLOWING THE US MILITARY FREE REIGN OVER NIGERIA
Do we really need an American military base in Nigeria? If this is for economic reasons why not sign a trade pact with Nigeria. The last thing Nigeria needs is more ammunition.
How do we know that Mr President bringing this troops won't use America to perpetuate his presidency. America sustained Saddam for many years to checkmate Iran. America trained and funded the Mujahedin in Afghanistan against Russia. Is their a guarantee they won't fund the Niger Delta militants? All over South America abounds numerous examples of how the CIA forcefully removed Presidents that dares to question American involvement in their internal affairs. The King of Saudi Arabia would be overthrown but for America, same with despot Mubarak of Egypt. What most people fail to realize is this, America is not doing it out of love for Nigerians, America is doing it for her interest. Am yet to find any benefit that will arise from a military base. Who are the American soldiers here to attack? Every one knows they are coming here for oil.
US military coming to Nigeria will be a blessing to the militants in the Niger Delta. When the Niger Deltans have a unified command that can negotiate with America then forget the country called Nigeria.

oziomatv:
Please don't take it personal I'm only attacking those who want us to sing praises to a nation that offers nothing to her citizens.

Have nothing against you please.

"Ask not what your country can do for you etc" I can recall that statement from Kennedy and he was talking to Americans. Americans did not all emigrate to another country and pour scorn on their mother country. Constructive criticism is good, but telling us how bad things really are in Nigeria is at best insensitive, those who live in Nigeria should know this.
What are your solutions, apart from telling us you own a "rare Hummer".

4Her:
Naija needs all the help she can get. . .plz dnt stop at Army Barrack. . .if there's anymore help US can lend her, plz do!

All those thieving chimpanzee they call presidents/ ministers needs to be swept out

You really think the people (president/ ministers) bringing in the Americans will be swept out? For crying out loud, Americans are here to serve American interest.

The Europeans want the foreigners to play, so what's Sepp Blater's problem?

Na wa wa wa. Every Nigerian abroad want to make us believe they're on first name term with Bill Gates. Pleeeeeeeze.
