Boko Haram might just be what the south of Nigeria needs to break away - it is a group of young people fed up with the current system - deprived of both her commonwealth and the right to full religious practice; if I were the South I'll find a way to penetrate her since we share a common interest in seeing Nigeria break for good. congrats to the republic of South Sudan, although all of her problems won't disppear overnight half of her problem is gone.

Vava,

I appreciate last response, quite an ideal way to recluse oneself to the devotion of almighty; by separating and maintaining a demarcated boundary between the Christians in East, the mix faithfuls in West and the Moslems in North, where each region now has an unalloyed space to follow its destiny as ordained.

WeLl, it is ideal until the catholics and the methodist start a fight in the East or the Moslems and Christians do battle in the North or the followers of PDP and A C N clash in the West and a remake of "operation wet e, episode 6" starts.

You can divide the country in geo-ppolitical sense, after all its an artificial country, ,  . . But the innate human instinct to control turf and territory will always be there and all those tranquil ideals will be a new baseline for further divisions and or separations.

I do agree that at minimum, a monoethnic existence concentrated in a defined common front is far far better an ideal than the pluroethnic encapsulation we live in and in which nothing is commoonly binding among any two ethnic entity.
Nigeria as is is a lie - as a people we have not agreed on the terms of our union-forced cohabitation and pretension at best. Am not saying that regions won't have their problems but if we must stay together let the constituent people have their say. A suituation where issues of national importance gets dragged in from the back door leaves sour taste in the mouth of the distrusting followership. Fundamentally the contrasting tenents of both religions hinders any thought of mild adoption of the belief of one over another. Yes, Catholics will disagree in specific doctrinal principle with the methodist nay baptist but hardly ever leads to wanton killings- at best snide remarks are made in religious publications but the same can never be said with religious difference with the muslim north. brothers will fight over land dispute but what binds them is more than what keeps them apart - what binds the catholic to the baptist is stronger than that which binds a muslim to a christian in Nigeria.

Vava,

There is a new culture gripping the whole world. Its the culture of violence.

We are over-exposed to gruesome violence and bloodshed and our sensibilities and natural impulse for empathic feeling is deadened; it is immune to artificial shocks.

A 10yr old child in 2001 when 9/11 happened is 20yrs old today and grown and physically matured to fight oin an army. In the span of this 10yr period he has witnessed artificial calamities as well as natural tragedies and seen destruction of life and properties. His definition of life and what it means is shaped by all that. The movie industry add to his psychological imbalance with production of gory stories and video games with titles that lean towards crime and deplorable treatment of fellow humans. His music lyrics is no different. Rappers appeal to his ego and encourage a hardcore swagger as the emblem of respect and attainment.

He has finished or almost finishing university study and his future has no concrete aspiration for a value-added contribution to the society. He has no trade, no skills.  

All the noble values of a dignified life are strange to this child.  

Then he meets with a stranger who shares with him how to make money, or how to be "cool" with an ak47 slung around his shoulder. Nobody has shared with him why the people he will shoot with that gun are his enemy.

You and I know a 20yr old does not have enemy! He might have friends he is not on good terms with because they bullied him or took his girlfriend or went to a party or club and not invited him. They all will soon make up again and fraternize - they are not enemies.  You don't turn ak47 on someone for any of these reasons that 20yr old fight over.

But you see, this 20yr old has been indoctrinated over the past 10yrs with messages of "christians are infidels and must be fought in jihad"; "moslems are terrorists and are the enemies of christians".

So the cycle of hatred and violence does not start at age 20, it was an incremental conditioning that started much earlier at a younger age.

That's what Farouk Abdul-Mutalab became.


This is why for a situation like Boko Haram, it is absolutely important that their top is targeted. The footsoldiers are the 20 and 20 something boys who see their guerilla action as a thrilling occupation mirroring the galantry of the hero figure in video game or a movie.

Every young man wants to be the actor in the movie.

Terrorists know this and use it to target certain age group for ground tactics.

The government, if smart, could use those same boys as ddouble agent to infiltrate and destroy the organization from within.

As it stands on referendum, I don't know what that means.

I will tell you what I do know.

Is there any value Nigeria adds to my life that Yorubaland is incapable of replacing?

Answer is no!

Will a return to Yorubaland enrich my life far better than it is possible in Nigeria?

Answer is yes!


When someone find the meaning of referendum, kindly let me know.
Nice histronics on violence but poor excuse for bad choices. The distrust between christians and muslim in Nigeria is deepseated - everyone turn and motive is viewed with suspicion by the other - that return that will enrich your life and let you determine how you want to pray to your God is paramount and overiding to many, that is the referendum you should vote for whenever it happens.

Sanusi isn't the originator of the Islamic Banking System. It is the Law of ALLAH (God).

Who told you christian's to Disobey God's laws in order to favour your so called modernization and greedy selves?

Checkout the Holy Quran for Allah's stance on Usury/riba (interest). And then you will know Islam is the ONLY RELIGION because even after 2,000 years its laws MUST still be obeyed unlike these greedy and clueless christians that have sold their religion to the highest bidder.

The issue is not a hatred for Islam nor Christianity. It is one of distrust borne over time by a people deprived by a few who care less about religious inclination and profit from the sown hatred emmanating from created deprivation.

I have always known that the problem of these [b]intolerant people [/b]is ISLAMthat is there. You can go and hug a transformer.
The framework for the system is well laid out in the Qur'an and explained in the Hadith, what other name would you call it other than ISLAMIC.
Even in Britain the word is retained as in ISLAMIC BANK OF BRITAIN.

Some people argue that Nigeria is a secular country forgetting there are religious holidays in favour of Muslims and Christians and none for other religions, Saturdays and Sundays are our rest days not Mondays and Tuesdays, we have schools regulated by agencies of govt. bearing religious names, public funds are expended on religious pilgrimages, but whenever it suites our purpose we says we are secular and certain things are unconstitutional.

We all should learn to be tolerant of each other. If it pleases God, He could have created all of us with one religion. Bigotry is tearing our country apart and ours is the most Godlessly religious country on earth. Those who loot us blind and set us against one another are adherents of these two main religions and we the followers are too silly to decipher that while we bicker against one another they join hands irrespective of religion to loot more of our treasury.
Did you type the bolded for real? ''Intolerant people'' - coming from one whose youth went on rampage and killed serving corpers because their hero lost a supposedly rigged election, how rich. please support a referendum when we get there to separate both religions so you can practice what you preach.

If only they can put there guns down and demand a referendum to separate our ever clashing beliefs, wouldn't that be lovely? At least everybody will find a common ground to separate without bloodshed. I wonder why this is difficult, have an idea?

Vava,

You see sometimes in our selfish interest to push agendas we neglect feelings on the other side and underestimate the response coming from the other side.

Pork consumptioon is forbidden in the scriptures but white man made it popular because it was cheap to produce and generate good revenue. So now it is customary for christians to believe pork is part and parcel of their faith, but alas it is not.

It is even more gratifying to use it (pork) as a weapon of propaganda attack on Islam.

Practicing Jews will not allow you to touch any of their garment or personal effects and belongings with pork - that's just to give you a peek into how far they distance from it. But they will give you money to buy it and eat or produce it for other christians to consume. You will of course pay interest on the loan.

Islamic bank will not loan you the money pperiod!  

Between the two, I'd stick with Islamic banking.

Not only is there an element of health safeguards but also of religious and spiritual security from deliberately consuming what alkl the three scriptures forbid.


So this is why I resonded with the LovePeddler scenario. It was a repulsive resonse but it was meant to get you thinking instead of depending on my rationale for the obvious reason.
Inetersting summation. Now at least we are getting somewhere with the bolded. What you stick with is your choice - it shouldn't in any way hinder mine. A referendum is needed in this country more than ever to determine if we stay together or go our separate ways. There's no sense in this strange bed called Nigeria. At least everybody can go their way and practice what they preach.
BusinessRe: Ngozi: Islamic Banking Is Ok by Vavavoom(m): 4:04pm On Jul 07, 2011
@All,

There are fundamentals that should be cleared before we delve into any such practice. There is claim that such Islamic banks when set up will be for all - an ALL-COMER interest-free bank. I applaud. After most in here can testify to the crunching nature of shylock loans secured from conventional interest banks. Why won't any sensible person want a loan that is interest free? However there are basics that must be straightened out so that we don't have to move the goal post midway into practice. For this reason I have asked previously: on what law will this prospective interest-free Islamic bank be based since it will carter to all-comers? Will its laws interfer and prevent people with entrepreneural ability from scaling their business because of religious non-compliance? I gave pork farming and beer brewing as examples of such bussinesses - will Islamic banking support me in my quest as a Nigerian to grow any such bussiness against likely religious underlying tenents of its practices? These na some of the issues we suppose to dey yarn - proponents oya over to una

Would a regular bank loan to you apply for business loan to operate prostitution ring, or to finance a marijuana farm?

I mean common, do we have to test the will of our judgement outside of what is obvious?
@ Negro_Ntns,

if your reply was to my quest for clarification I find your summation troubling.
The challenge in question is to educate people and create awareness about the difference and advantage of Islamic banking over conventional interest banking and I have just asked a question that could be a tipping point in the future for practioneers of the prospective banking system Sanusi and co wants to sell to us and you trivialize it. Christians eat pork and are involved in the business of beer brewering, would such Islamic bank(s) grant loan on an equal right basis to a chrisitian who seeks to grow his/her bussiness and make profit available for sharing? Or will these banks be segregated on this premise of religious belief? Please the comparison of Marijuana and prostitution to pork and brewery smacks of illogicity. Conventional interest banks loan to breweries and pork farmers, if such entrepreneurs can get loans that are interest free don't you think it will translate into better economic indices - good wlefare for employed workers etc. Please let us think.

Or should I be discriminated against because my business line doesn't fall within the tenents of the sharia code? Views please.
PoliticsThe State Of Our Union by Vavavoom(op): 3:11pm On Jun 17, 2011
I have had the opportunity of reading Prince Charles Dickson's ''Fairly Used Bombs for Sale in Nigeria'' and the question of our unity or lack of it is in question - it appears we are now practising pacifism - a suituation where each region can get what it wants by unleashing fear in the heart of the sitdan-look government passive and never proactive govt at the centre. MEND now figures in the budget, maybe Boko too in a supplementary budget undecided perhaps Massob later and then OPC in no particular order. It seems aslong as there is enough to dole out to various reional factions and still keep a reasonable loot this emerging trend is here to stay. Please read the below.

I would start my admonition in this essay qouting a very unlikely source, speaking recently in Geneva, former Nigerian President, Aremu Olusegun Obasanjo had the following to say,

“When I was growing up and I had to go to university, there was only one university in Nigeria. Today, 120; there are other tertiary institutions; polytechnics, colleges of education, when you take all of them together they are more than 200, much more than 200.

“If you count that they are graduating about 3000 every year and some are doing more than that for one tertiary institution. You have well over 600, 000. We are not creating 100, 000 jobs every year for graduates of our tertiary institutions; that is a tinder box on which we are all sitting and the fuse can be ignited anytime,” he said

“can we really have social justice with 50 percent of citizens of a country being unemployed or being under employed? Can you really have social justice in a situation where democracy, rule of law and popular participation are absent? Obviously the answer will be no.”

I do not whether Obasanjo said this at the 100th Session the International Labour Organisation (ILO) holding in Geneva, Switzerland, if he meant it, or it was just a honest speechwriter at work. Either way its good see these individual institutions in the Nigerian polity ringing the alarm bells.

PoliticsRe: Lagos Airport: Water Main Not Serviced For 33 Years by Vavavoom(m): 11:22am On Jun 15, 2011
[b]Nigeria really is a conundrum - government at the centre stealing the commonwealth for the elite and by the elite; citizens of the country driven by ethnicity than by nationalism. Both failing to see and take opportunity when it presents - waiting for the other to effect change.

The corrupt government is unwittingly waiting for her people to chase her out - calling the peoples bluff all the while having knowledge she can set them into discord by playing the ethnic card every other while. ''no be ya broda dem put there?'', ''abeg leave am joor, naim b d first persin to thief?'' , so the cyce continues and so too the conundrum.

On the issue at hand: the opportunity is to move away from a government managed infrastructure to one of public enterprise. Can't the maintenance sector of the airport be privatized and managed by a workforce outside the influence of the government? For me, 3-4 small section-enterprise maintenance companies can best look out for infrastructure failure and better implement management of change processes. Of course there will be the disadvantage of a higher cost overhead but the benefit includes a publicly supervised workforce whose welfare is catered for & therefore have no case to be lax about their duty.

I think some of us within Nairaland can set up such small enterprise companies. Let's walk the tak as citizens. Na d only way kontri go good

PoliticsRe: Niger Delta Under Internal ‘Colonial Rule’ by Vavavoom(m): 11:18am On Dec 08, 2010
The story of Nigeria unfortunately bears a striking similarity with that of the parable of the good Samaritan in the bible. People who can rise above greed and be sympathetic amongst us are yet to travel the leadership route. Instead we've replaced white colonial masters with internal ones.
It is foolhardy to expect rogue creations from Abuja who fill leadership positions in the ND to be different from their lords. Governance to these lot is like paying royalty from earnings( state allocation) to the center(Abuja). How the indigenes fair is neither their care nor concern. Ibori, Odili, Alams, Obong Attah, Lucky and co were never answerable to the people but Abuja. Each one was engaged in systemic resource mismanagement that enables self aggrandisement with ''extended courtesies'' to Abuja. Chrisbenogor's NNPC analogy is perfect for how things generally work in Nigeria nay ND.
In truth the custodians of the ND are the creation of the Nigerian state-people whose motive collide in agreement to rob us all of meaningful development irrespective of cardinal location.

Like I have said in the past when we as a people are ready to take back our country we will wake from our slumber, rise above ethnicity and pay the ultimate price for freedom from internal colonisation and create fucntional governance structures which will enable development to thrive, '', in here, ethnicity blinds us to the common good we search; it is prevalent in our write-ups so much so, we fail to see the lift in another's suggestion'' Make we rise.

Dear Amaechi, the laws of this land, our land as made by your like with all the recognised loopholes is responsible for the weak governing structures which have failed to make the governor accountable to the governed. Shout all you want about multi-national complicity you and I know that development of our land will only happen if the governor is accountability to the governed.

Reference:
I would not comment on the judiciary or law enforcement here. They are well known, celebrated failures. The level of corruption there will not make for meaningful reforms anytime soon. We've heard it from the slammer. They want high profile clients not for correctional reasons but so they can partake in the loot. Same goes for the judiciary. What I am more concerned about is power of poverty and the overt connivance of the larger society not to the crimes directly but the path to them. The other day a chap made what I considered very incriminating postings on the forum about James Ibori and his investments in Canary wharf. We are the same people that complain about these fellows yet because of poverty huh? we aid them in either committing these crimes or enable them enjoy the proceeds thereof.

We all know Redington, well the calibre of those who run that hospital. These are knowledgeable individuals. At the very least I would view in very bad taste an institution that would shield such an individual from the law. Don't get me wrong. If that woman is ill she deserves full medical attention but if that hospital is knowingly shielding her from the law it is equally culpable in the case and by extension is not helping the judiciary and society at large.



She is probably a high net-worth client but we know this pales into insignificance when that hospital tallies the cost of this bad economy. Someone somewhere should begin to teach Nigerians that the quality of the society we all desire is a summation of our individual actions. No hospital in the developed world will try this especially this high p[profile case. We should all pull together to defeat wrongs wherever we find them.

Lately with the frequent downsizing in banks a lot of posters have been crying out. Fine, but don't we know who is doing right and wrong. What have we done on our part to stand up to it or better avoid the consequences thereof. If today a memo crosses your desk saying the MD of your bank has started transferring huge amount of cash overseas shouldn't you set the stop clock for your layoff. If your client is heavily involved in shady government contracts what makes you think he should be the cornerstone of your business. This is self deceit. Foolhardiness.

Fellows, the ball is in our court. This thing affects us all. Our attitude to this rubbish must change. Preserve your jobs, preserve your future. This corruption thing is slowly killing us all.

Don't bust a vessel caliente, the truth you seek won't come from those you term ''(s)elected, cos ''the last time I checked they all rigged themselves into elective positions, funny how it is ''your'' and not ''our'' abi u no be Nigerian?, shame you cannot see the back and forth arguement of pro GEJ and anti GEJ battlers herein trying to outdo each other all in the name of ''demanding truth and justice'' from a lot who care nada, if you cannot discern that it is in their INTEREST that Jonathan, Okah and co are hell bent on burning Nigeria then GULLIBLE is a perfect description. Today na im broda fake im voice tomorrow his sister will get a call from Patience Jonathan making an offer for Aljazera claim rebuttal, listen ma'am Junkie; history has shown that these shenanigans won't go away voluntarily and will continue to appeal and play to our tribal sentiments. When as Nigerians we become ready we the citizens will drop every toga of tribalism herein expressed evidently by the divide, march against them lot on the streets and take back our country. Ask yourself this question, why is the truth and justice you seek different from BEAF's, NA SO's and co and vice -versa? How gullible we are is a function of our sentiments, in this case tribal sentiments. looking forward to chapter 39 grin

The events unfolding the last 18 days will make for a good thriller novel, reminds me of The BlueNoWhere and The Pelican Brief, all the regular commentators on the Okah-GEJ saga will arguably make believable narration as counsel for whomever they hold brief. Make una carry on jor, when una finish make una compile all the different pages created on various Okah-GEJ saga and publish una own version, Nigeria, sick country, gullible peoplegrin.

Abaga may be better and Obama plus other celebs may be dissed too but those ain't the issue, stalking Mode about a distaste for his product bothers on the ridiculous. If you no like im music, no patronise, @ least that way im go no say im dey sing trash but to go to his page and spew disaffectioncriticism that is non-constructive tongue towards his effort ain't helping him to be better.

21 days and the sun no gree nack ogoro for my return
each night,
loneliness dey lie with me like dat virus SOLITUDE
I come broke
And closure<read kooli bodi> is far…this night Nouakchott sea rough
I keep ear for ground,
For your sweet whisper to bounce comot from water
But, no!
Only White horse dem dey do ojoro dey cross each oda
<sighs>
Like that message wey dem put for bottle
I come hope
For that break, any break…wey fit pinch ur loff song even if na small
dat one wey only u fit make
My bread and butter, but d thing no come show
How far wey u and bros heart go dey assunder ?
i DEY CARRY U WAKA FOR MY heart…miss you inside my bones
<se na like dis e go dey dey?>
Need you like air wey I breathe for this life. Lock you for dis heart-MY HEART, sa ki ofori!

21 days and the sun still won’t set for my return
Each night
Loneliness lay by me like the virus SOLITUDE
Am broken
And closure is far…this night the sea is raging
I listen
For your sweet whisper in its splash
But, no!
Only White horse creases crisscrossing in their crests
<sighs>
Like that message in a bottle
I’d hoped
For that break, any break…of travelling love-strung song
Orchestrated by
My One and Forevermore, alas it never came
<Shakes head>
How further can a man’s heart be separated by distance?
<editing thought>
Feeling you in my heart…missing you in my bones
<se na like dis e go dey dey?>
Needing you for this life. Keeping you in this heart-MY HEART, Always!
