Foreign Affairs › Re: America Military Base In Ghana. Is This Good For Ghana And West Africa Countries by tpiah: 4:58pm On Jun 11, 2009
well, they obviously need a military base in west Africa for whatever reason.

They asked Nigeria a couple of times and were politely refused.


So they went to Ghana, if one is to believe the original post.

if Ghana decides to allow a US military base on her territory, there's really little anyone can do.

I wouldn't lose sleep over it unless there's something else I'm not seeing here.

Afam:
Your personal opinion, you are entitled to it, no wahala with this one.

Nigeria is backward not because of what you stated but because we are too full of ourselves to admit our mistakes or to admit that we are wrong even when it is obvious.

You may stick with discussing with non Nigerians then.

Have a bone to pick on behalf of someone else? What for? I talk straight and I am very blunt and I am certainly not a coward so if I have anything personal against you I would put it down in a very clear manner.

Thus far, I cannot remember having any issues with this user ID unless you are someone I have had issues with in the past while using another user ID.

Stick to the issues raised and stop seeing people who do not agree with your positions as enemies or as people you must call names.

There is no single evidence to prove that Dr Ngozi is a Prof. This is a fact.

And again, the onus is not on anyone to prove that she is not.

Anyone can post on any public editable site or wiki that Afam Nnaji was state governor in one of the states even in the North. Now, if someone says it is a lie would it make any sense to maintain that people should prove that I have not been a governor of the said state even when all the evidence point to the fact that there is no record of Afam Nnaji ever being inuagurated, sworn in or even contested let alone won a governorship election in Nigeria?

We should be bold enough to admit our mistakes. Being wrong is not a crime.
ok, for the last time, Okonjo's professorship is no concern of mine.

I dont lose sleep over wikipedia entries. Cant say the same for you and certain other "Nigerians".

If you have anything to add thats[b] different[/b] from your contributions so far, then add them.

Otherwise,  I see no sense in flogging a dead horse!

You, richybrainwashedblack and some other fellows disagree with a wiki entry saying she's a professor because you feel she isnt one but is simply being hyped up a la Nigerian style.

I dont see any evidence to back up your claims.

Tolerance for opposing views is a mark of civilization. So kindly follow your own advice and agree to disagree!

Unless you have another agenda!
Romance › Re: Why Were Nairaland Guys Accused Of Stalking The Ladies ? by tpiah: 3:30pm On Jun 11, 2009
there are different kinds of stalking.

Some guys stalk just to pick fights with someone they disagree with.

Other guys do it because they're attracted to or interested in someone.

In any case, if a lady feels you're stalking her, feel free to deny it or explain. Or stop whatever action is being interpreted as stalking.

and vice versa.

Travel › Re: Emirates Airline Paints Nigeria Bad On Their Website by tpiah: 3:05pm On Jun 11, 2009
even Emirates? na wa.

Nigerian companies should also start posting travel advisories on their own websites.



but the Emirates warning isnt really too bad though, if that's all it is. It's not like they're lying and the language is very polite and official.

Family › Re: My Biological Mother Does Not Want Me by tpiah: 2:31pm On Jun 11, 2009
well, the guy is 36, and has his own family.

While the situation is hurtful, I think he should just let his mum move on with her own life until she's ready to come to terms with herself.

The book Hope Was Here deals with exactly this kind of situation. Some women unfortunately are like that. Not everyone has depth of character and they should have let him know who his real mother was from the beginning. But since they didnt, let the past remain past. Especially since his mum still doesnt want anything to do with him.

@ tpia

If you have any evidence, produce it and the argument will be over. wink
as I said before, the onus isnt on me to prove she's a professor.

The person who doubts her professorship should try to find out why she was called a professor on wiki, instead of assuming she isnt one.

I have no problems with her qualifications and neither do I feel a need to go about with bad belle picking fights to assuage my empty ego!

I dont live and die by whats on wiki either.




RichyBlacK:
Afam,

Biko leave market women alone o! grin
he hears you, goat seller.

Your own "professorship" na "authentic genuine", unlike Iweala's- that fake lady.






Afam:
Who claims Wole Soyinka is not a Nigeria? How was the story taken? Does the claimer have any credibility?

Now on Dr Ngozi, even her present employer has on its website a detailed biography of the woman and she was severally referred to as Dr and not Prof. This should be enough to prove that she is a Dr and not Prof.

If you claim that OBJ is a woman do you expect anyone to come and strip him naked for you to believe he is a man?

A fact remains a fact and facts don't lie. Thus far, there is no single evidence pointing to Dr Ngozi being a Prof in this world.

Even her own blood brother has said enough for the world to know that Dr Ngozi has a sister that is a Dr and a Prof. Dr Ngozi's sister is not the same as Dr Ngozi.

We must learn to tolerate views that we may not even agree with especially when logic and facts are in favor of a position.

I dont consider the OP of this thread as having more credibility than the claimer on that one!


As for the rest of your post, your questions and assertions have been discussed already so I'm not going to run in circles. Nigeria is backward precisely because of this habit of always repeating what has been covered before as if it was never addressed in the first place.


And yes, tolerance is a virtue though its a foreign concept for far too many Nigerians!

Now unlesss you simply have a bone to pick on behalf of richybrainwashedblack, can you let this matter be! However, its not by force- feel free to pursue it further as you wish!
