I am no fan of OBJ but if you are dumb enough to give him the title in the first place, be a man and accept your perpetual idiocy and let the title stick.

They are supposed to be the elders of the society and uphold the truth but no wayyyyyyyyy. They go ahead conferring titles on assholes.

@Olabowale,

Your inference from my posting is not correct. Science is a creation of God and can actually lead the scientist who looks deeper to the recognition of God. I can discuss with you and exhuatively explain all the issues you have raised. The problem is that you seem not to focus on the topic and always redirect the discussion into Trinity and evolution. Of course if you really want us to discuss these issues exhuustively, then contact me by email, and we can then exchange phone contacts and talk in details on these issues. Stay blessed.
I want to believe that too cheesy

well i don't know about the conspiracy,and even though i believe they are both crooks but the diffrnce between obj is as long and diverse as the part they have both played in the last ten years in nigeria,need i say more, so you ll realli expect him to strip obj of the title while he was president and a rampaging bull in a china shop and then give it to bamaiyi that was still in prison??
and millions rolling from bamaiyi when he s just been released from prison,i don't think so.

he was given the title because he was the president of nigeria,and nobody says no to president obj and who says obj is down?i have not seen a single oba withdraw their support for obj,the most they will do is keep quiet,even most of them including the so called elders were openly in support of obj against gbenga and alex akinyele said it on tv that even though it was a wrong thing to do if obj did but that its not a new thing
well,we don't know how much pressure and consultations that went on underground from them before he was released so nobody is in a position to say if they denied him then or not
Being the cowards that we all are in Nigeria , I would not expect him to do so. And that is why I am not impressed.
I thought titles were given on merit. Now what is so impressive about a a traditional ruler who confers a title to a crook while he is in power and strips it away from him when he no longer commands power.

Why was he given the title in the first place? I am in no way a fan of Obj but talk about kicking a man when he is down!!!

TopBooty:
I very much agree with you but our agreement doesn't make any difference because 95% Nigerians surely hold on to it like our life is dept on it.

One quick question tho: If you want to take out class for the marriage equation, does it mean that a truck pusher in Naija can try his luck with a college professor? or a vice versa? Nature sometimes defines class for us.
your example is hilarious grin. Thats like pushing the argument to the extreme. For instance, the chances of a truck pusher meeting a prof in a romantic setting is very slim and I too would be very surprised if it happened. In your example of the truck pusher and the prof, apart from the obvious disparity in earning power there are plenty of other issues that would present a problem thus making them incompatible. And to me it is all about compatibility, not neccesarily class as defined by most of the posts here.

TopBooty:
One quick question tho: If you want to take out class for the marriage equation
U see I am not really taking out class for marriage , I am only wary about the definitions ascribed to "class". Money does not necessarily bring class and vice versa. U might be very rich as a man and yet be a complete asshole when it comes in terms of managing ur matrimonial home.

It's a natural phenomenon. No one knows tommorow. What we are arguing is the spouse presently has a poor background and is not yet rich or he/she is yet to achieve a higher social status but that does not necessarily mean he/she will remain there forever.
If we understand that this so-called "class" as defined by most posters here is dynamic, then why are we going to be making marriage decisions based on it. I believe marriage should be based on something more stable than our so called "class".
Christianity EtcRe: Humans Nearly Wiped Out 70,000 Years Ago, Study Says by Uche2nna(m): 6:18pm On Apr 28, 2008
Interesting study. However human mtDNA provide only a small part of the picture. The study need to be corroboted by analysis of the human Y-DNA, and also  the X-linked and autosomal portions of the human genome.

@ nwankwo
Yeah , I agree it would be much more convincing if all the different genetic elements in the human genome were used to corroborate this study. However, this might not be easily tractable. The mitochondrial DNA provides an excellent system to go back in time since it is transmitted only through females. So theoretically, You can trace back the origin of this DNA all the way to one woman. I think their rationale for the most part is logical and that in itself is actually very, very interesting.

For the use of the Y-chromosome,
I don't know if it can be used to actually trace back our evolutionary roots. I am at loss at how that is possible. I can imagine using the Y-chromosome to study divergent evolution i.e how and where we became different but it would be a little challenging to use it to study convergent evolution i.e where and how we originated. The genome had undergone a lot of changes (recombination , polymormpism etc) during time and tho these differences are a good tool box to study our differences and thus relate it to our evolution, those differences would be a stumbling back if we want to go back all the way in time. For that u might want to need a genetic element that had been stably passed down from generation to generation with very little changes. The maternal mitochondrial DNA is the closest that we have gotten to that kind of genetic element.
RomanceRe: Romance And Social Class by Uche2nna(m): 3:17pm On Apr 28, 2008
T hese kind of threads easily gets me confused. Many posts here about social strata seem to make one huge assumption : That everything is cast in stone, and that is where I beg to differ.

If social class for u means how noble u are as in the case of Kings or Queens then that is permanent. Once a blue blood always a blue blood. On the same hand if it is race , then again it is permanent. If You are a hispanic, black or white nothing changes that. You are always going to be that way.

But most of the posts here aint based on that. The basis is finance. Now tell me how is that permanent. You might be rich today but You can't really say of 2morrow. Life has a funny way of humbling people. Woe betide u as a man who got a wife based on what she percieved as social security and all of a sudden that "security is gone" grin Thats when the full meaning of WOEman would dawn on you  grin

And we men have to just let go of our ego. Assuming that You have to be earning more than your wife is sheer ignorance to say the least. Even if u get married to a woman who earns less than you, what assuarance do u have that the status quo would remain the same after 10 years. Well, maybe if u married a lazy wife then u would be assured of that but no man would willingly marry a lazy woman cheesy your wife might be lucky in her job and earn promotions more than You. So watchu u going to do? Divorce her  undecided

As for US doctors being the 3rd largest cause of mortality in the US,relative to what? That stat tells us nothing in itself.Lets put it this way,if all the doctors in the US are replaced with doctors from Nigeria,mortality attributable to doctors will skyrocket.
I assume the Nigerian doctors brought in to replace the US doctors would be given the same kind of training and would be exposed to the same kind of environment the US doctors were used to? undecided

We have a very pitiable educational system and so that reflects in the quality of the graduates including the doctors. But would U honestly say that it has deterioted to the level whereby we cant get people in the health care system that can administer vaccines?

Not all of them. A lot of things happen in the north. Can you remember when there was a report about Niger and Chad citizens that receive salary from ministries in Sokoto and Borno states as workers(ghost ones at that)?.
Who prepared their paper work? Did they just fly in from Niger and take over the Nigerian ministry. For all You know, one alhaji from the north might be using their names to collect salaries. Mind you, those guys from Niger don't particularly like to work. THEY PREFER TO BEG.
PoliticsRe: Polio Cases Double In Nigeria by Uche2nna(m): 11:17pm On Apr 25, 2008
I honestly don't care about their fear or the basis for their fear of the sources of the vaccines. I am more concerned with the statistics that show the numbers of kids with polio in the north. I acknowleged that they have a right to be suspicious about the source of the vaccines (based on facts that I have read about) but not to be stupid, dumb and downright insensitive. To reject vaccines from the western world is not heinous but what I find shocking is the lack of a veritable alternative. You can't just say NO to vaccines and sit back and watch your kids get deformed. You have to find different sources for your vaccines. That is where the angle of illiteracy comes in and I wont argue with that.

And yeah, the South have been using same vaccine and  polio has almost been eradicated with little or no complications from the Vaccines themselves or the manner at which the vaccine was adminstered. So what is actually their problem? undecided

The truth of the matter is that at the end of the day, You only make do with what You have. You can say that naw because You are not in Nigeria ,but if You were You wont have any choice other than to be treated by Nigerian doctors. Even if You are stikiningly rich and have all the diplomatic passports in the world , You would not want to be taking an 18 to 24 hr flight anytime You have a scratch.


And while we are at it. there are excellent doctors in Nigeria who can compete with anywhere in the world given the right resources and environment. An American-born Chinese surgeon who just came back from Ghana told me that American-trained doctors would be lost if they were deprived of the technology at their disposal. He expressed dismay at the dearth of the resources available to the local doctors but not without showing his admiration on how they still carried out their duties given the resources and the technology at their disposal.
RomanceRe: Your Childhood Crush? by Uche2nna(m): 8:28pm On Apr 25, 2008
U guys have really got me thinking  huh  Its kind of strange I never had any crush in primary school. Matter of fact is dat, I disliked the company of girls while in primary schools. I always see them as annoying creatures that were always sucking up to the teachers and telling them about the pranks that we played or about to play  angry  So none of the girls stood out, all of them were one annoying bunch.  undecided

When I gat to secondary school, it started to change. The crush came but I honestly did not know what it was. I was just in awe of this petite and pretty NYSC corper that was posted to the school to teach Mathematics. I would not even bother about her physical attributes cos nothing I would say would her justice. Anyway, she taught JSS 2B while this impudent and irritable married woman taught the A-classes including JSS1A. Fortunately, at the end of the service year, she was retained as a Maths teacher in the school but I was promoted to JSS 2A. First week of the next school year, I kept wishing I was in JSS 2B  grin. It hurt so much that I had to tell my dad to transfer me to JSS 2B shocked My dad was like "why"?  After I had spilled the beans to my dad (unintentionally, cos I did not know I had a crush on Miss Chikezie), the guy said "My friend, U are in JSS 2A and that is where U gonna be. If I hear any of this Miss Chikezie stuff again, I would make sure U go to a different school in a different state  shocked

Well, I knew very well my Dad always keeps his promises so I did not bring it up again. But than fate intervened. Miss Chikezie was made to be our Form Mistress and she chose me as her Class Captain. It was then I got the chance to know her up close and personal. Not sexually ( shocked)
