these guys should understand that humanity is in peril, especially with global recession and widening gap between the rich and the poor, poor people, especially blacks and poor asians and all the people living in extreme poverty worldwide are an endangered specie. no one is talking about it.

peril my foot.

Hi all,
Well, we could give kudos to the government for taking this step but I believe other reasons why parents ask their children to hawk should be addresed. As a matter of facts, only few parents could be happy seeing their kids hawking goods on the streets. But what could they do? People have got to find a means of livelihood.

i made this argument in Cardiff University child labor seminar in 2006. Doctors cannot treat headache without tackling the cause of the headache. unfortunately people dont look deep b4 taking decisions. while u are a hero for not letting the difficulties weigh you down, i will still say it is unfortunate that the problems u had are still here with the next generation of poor nigerians and may remain so for more than a century.

u were different though. you knew you were not supposed to be doing that but you had to do it for a reason. the bad news now is that many children do not know that they aint supposed to be hawking. they have accepted it as a way of life.

abuja doesnt care

i hear there was an election in ghana. it went smoothly, perhaps even more smoothly than the US election. who says it is hard to conduct an election? all we need is sincerity.

http://www.theghanaianjournal.com/2008/12/08/bbc-comment-on-ghanas-election/

even the world acknowledged their election. someone argues nigeria has higher population making it harder to do an election. . . . well, i ask, what is the population of jos? does jos have a higher population than ghana? why couldnt there be a simple election in jos?

un[b]til we are able to conduct an election, and a census . . . . forget it. nothing good will come out of that enclave. only despondent management[/b]. _{and it is not an evil prophecy, just a simple statement of fact. just like saying it will be dark at night if nepa takes light}

@mckren
i have always read ur posts and i give u high regards, but bro i do hereby vehemently and unrepentantly disagree with you absolutely.

remove the damn immunity, let anybody sue anybody. it's about time they started answering questions from the public directly, at least in the law courts.
being governor did not stop them from pursuing girls young enough to be their daughters (and grand daughters for some of them) why should it stop them from asnwering questions. they must not appear personally in court everyday, they may send surrogates. investigators can come to their home to ask questions.

and that includes the president. are senators not corrupt. has absence of immunity paralysed the senate?

ife esigo ike na obodo oyibo. anyi choziri ila nigeria tupu anyi anu na ana egbusi ndi mmadu na jos.

toshmann:
guy make u no go protest where mad people wear uniform as security agents o. b/c after much protest, when people don die finish, oga them go settle a few guys from the protest, that one go end. those wey die will get mass burial. kaput.

what nigeria needs is a revolution. unplanned, spontaneous but co-ordinated attack on the status quo. then even the police that they will send to quell the violence will join the revolution. succesful revolutions have always been a masses-vs-elite issue. that can't happen now in dear nigeria b/c the ignorant masses are still busy killing themselves.

Kobojunkie:
the same you?? roflmao!!!

wetin u wan yarn? dont u understand english? protest and revolution, do they look like the same thing to you?

what we need is a spontanoues revolution. like what happened in france some centuries back. and not a planned protest/demonstration.

i know ur greatest cerebral contribution to nigeria's problems have been roflmao

e don start already. even from abroad i dey monitor the thing

why didnt the western media report the crisis in jos?

you are not important my dear. nigeria is not important in the world. but nigeria's oil is important. if that violence was in the niger-delta, it would get better coverage.

by the way, how much of it did the NTA report?

Kobojunkie:
Fact remains, we can always sit back and wait for the next riot, watch the same killings happen for the umpteen time, come back and rant about how education is not the needed solution in that country, throw words around about how we are better than those who commit these atrocities, and then sit back and watch the cycle as always. I am good!!! that seems what we know to be best out here and down there. . . ROFLMAO!!!

somebody is finally stating the hard facts
this is sad but the truth is that we are waiting for the next riot
truth hurts

DavidDylan:
and what "solution" have you come up with beyond roflmao?

JosBoy4Lif:
Good point Idupaul , but does the Sabon Gari in Kano have an LGA Status? If so their is no way it should be chaired by the Hausa. I will categorically agree with you if so.

Look I am not on any sides, I just refute the fallacies that a lot of Nairalanders would have us believe.

i believe in rule and law. This LGA should be won by those with the most votes, its that simple.
I hate the idea of the Sabon Gari in general because it creates a separation, just like I hate the Idea of Sharia Law.

My perfect Nigeria would be one in which we practice our traditional believes but still stay current in todays civilization.
The Hindu Religion is one what outlasted colonialism. Africa would rather be divided and kill each other.
Ethnic wars in Africa are not endemic to Northern Nigeria alone. They have happened in Southern Nigeria too.

some people make me laugh

wake up guys, naija is dying. there is not unity. patriotism my a--. i feel the pain, even when i know nobody involved in this mess. i can imagine how david and debosky feel when they know somebody involved in the mortality list.

puzzle puzzle, win $1000.00 and free ticket to disneyworld.

predict the time and venue of the next religuois/political/ethnic/whatever-excuse violence in nigeria

extra $200 if you accurately predict how long it will last

is there any other country in this world where this kind of thing is still happening?

i've said it before, i say it again, i'm sitting here in ohio, praying . . .and fasting . . . and hoping that we wont wake up one day to say . . . . . "why didnt OBJ 3rd term work".

nigeria is derailing badly. too, too badly. in this global recession we are destroying the little property we have.

if u ask me, i'll say the real problem here is
1. lack of law and order(our culture)
2. poverty (hard core excruciating poverty)
3. ignorance (with chronic unrepentant illiteracy)
4.nigerian factor(too deep for explanation)
5. lack of govt
6. (you guys can add more)

SeanT21:
Ofcourse,Some african nations are waaaaaaaaaay behind!!

point of correction . . . . .all african nations are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay behind

first of all lady T, I'm not an american, and until march this yr i was in the UK with you. why didnt we meet sef?

the presidency is not a person but an institution. one of the "dumbest" persons to rule america was harry truman. he was so "dumb" that mrs roosevelt had to tell him that he is now the president. but b/c he was surrounded by the system(roosevelt's presidency, he turned out to be a president even the republicans are willing to love.

i admire barrack a lot. his life has taught me many things and encouraged me to work hard and damn my disadvantages. but i believe, in a capitalistic country like the US, the last thing you may want to do in a recession is to raise taxes (not even on the rich whom you may need to create jobs). i agree with his decision to end the iraq war, i agree with his health plan, though i believe hillary's own is better, however, the issue now is economy and job creation. the US lost nearly a million jobs this yr alone . . . and still counting . . it would be hard to create the jobs while taxing the rich.

and . . . i'm sure obama wont want me to support him simply because he is black

finally, to answer the question in your profile, the answer is yes. they are too big and too good

if only people listen. however history shows that most voters vote with thier heart and not their brains, _{some have no brains}

MrCrackles:
Nigeria is a bloody joke

Lawless and stupid country

are you just knowing? where have you been?

ribadu has paid his dues in the building of this nation. history will judge him as a courageous young man.

listen, freedom and democracy comes with a price.ask the americans, ask the british etc. nigeria will continue to derail . . perhaps . . forever _{(and this is not a curse but a simple statement of a fact that is bound to happen wether it is said or not)}. . . . until our people step up to fight the evil in our country. that fight, which is against evil in high places will not come easy. there will be fatalities, horror, humiliation etc. ngige nearly paid with his life for fighting against the forces that held anambra state, ribadu has fought his own, and is paying the price. but nigeria needs millions of people who will do this kind of fight. and not just 2 people. . . otherwise . . . . . we are going to implode

@ ribadu,
weep not, brother, history will smile on you and your children . . you stood up and made a difference in your generation. you were far from perfect, yet you made an impact. you are a true nigerian hero

simibrasil why do you want to know what nwokedi means? and bodi . .

nwokedi literarily means man dey but it must have an actual deep meaning which i may not know. and i'm sure it is a short form of a longer name that mught bring out the real meaning( most igbo names are a short form of a longer name with the real meaning)

bodi? not sure it is an igbo name though. dunno.

anyway, there is something better you should know

OMG!!!! See the poor girl the nailed her head? I can't watch this thing again.

Where is the local Govt chairman in all these

benincitys:
what is all this they are just children who are to be care for shame on Nigerien government akwa lbom wake üp stop this now.

Ifygurl:
That's heartless.
Niger Delta, Akwa Ibom, Nigerian government. Somebody, anybody DO SOMETHING. Please for God sake those are just little children. Abeg, Akwa Ibom, you guys are not the only ones who believe in Witches and yet you guys are the ones doing all this heartless shit. stop that. A KID CANNOT BE A WITCH, it's just a little kid. Why do villagers like being so backwards about everything.

Do anyone know how to contact any kind of politician in Akwa-ibom or any Nigerian politician. Do anyone know how to contact Yaradua himself? We need to stop this shit, even if we have to drag out all those evil priest and make them confuse what they did and how wrong they were. I cannot believe this priest actually killed a 110 kids before he found that disgusting "so called" remedy for witches. 419 dey everywhere and it seems they starting to attack innocent children just for money.

MC Usman:
Where is the governemnt & police my god i did not even dare finish the clip

SeanT21:
Bunch Of Bullshit!!

I hope all these fools ROT in Hell.

What is The Government doing about this?

i cannot believe that after all these yrs on nairaland some people still think we have a govt in nigeria
i cannot remember the last time i made a post on politics(nigerian politics) thread. _{only foreign policy}

we have no govt. get it guys, get it into your head. we have no govt. otherwise tell me how the 17th largest producer of oil (abi the 7th sef, i cant remember) is competing vigourously for the poorest nation on earth, while comfortably sitting as the 2nd / 3rd most corrupt country on earth
