Singapore is not just multiethnic but also has people of different races and religion. They have no natural resources. Yet lee Kwan yew developed the land even though he destroyed press freedom. Check out China with its population size. They have almost no press freedom and yet they are the largest economy on earth today using GDP (ppp).

There is something funny most Nigerians do not realise. Culturally, most Nigerians today are very similar. Only the core northerners are a bit different but even their difference is not enough to say we are not one people. Why there is division amongst us is poverty and greed.

Even if we were all the same language, we will still divide ourselves based on complexion and the fair skin people will claim God blessed them with better skin so the crude should belong to them. It is poverty and greed.

What I am saying has happened in Africa before, just watch hotel Rwanda.

Check out this link to read on Rwanda Tutsi and Hutu.

Always making sense!

I understand u sir but forgiveness comes with repentance and genuine regret for ones actions.

How can he get over such very quickly sir? My belief is that he is not sorry for his actions at all. If it was me, I will be so sad for days.

How can he live with himself after such deceit and evil behavior?

Why have u not punished Barcanista for exposing Nairalanders personal details?

trillville:
To be honest, I agree with most of what u are typing and I am not in anyway against the west. My point is simply, the west created their laws according to their culture, we as Nigerians also need to look inwards and develop our on laws and ways of doing things based on our culture.

I believe you will also agree with this point.

trillville:
Just open your mind and think! I am just simply challenging notions people consider as facts when in reality there is no evidence to prove them.
I may be wrong or I may be right?
What matters most is that I am thinking.

[quote author=trillville post=33424734]Does my epistle bring electricity and water to Nigerians? Is my ability to write my epistle more important than Nigeria getting electricity? Of what importance is my epistle to the average Nigerian?

I hope you are understanding my point now. Let us focus on the important stuff. Countries with little press freedom have electricity and drinking water. Let us get the basics right first.

trillville:
Who defines democracy? The people or some imaginary being? Must we follow the western definition? We need to think differently and focus on important issues.

Lee Kwan yew did things his way, and he is praised, Deng xiaoping, did things his own way and he transformed China. We need to think differently as Nigerians. We can't just follow what another persons culture blindly, it never works out well. Let's focus on electricity and water abeg and leave this matter for Mathias.

trillville:
Senseless threads like this one brings tears to my eyes.

Barcanista, i have a few questions for you

What are the negative effects on the common Nigerian as a result of this supposed ban?

So because in the western world, press freedom is key characteristic of democracy, Nigeria must follow what is defined without any change as regards to our cultural differences?

If buhari bans all forms of press freedom but he gives Nigerians cheap electricity, clean drinking water, better medical facilities, security, jobs, etc, do you think he would be re-elected?

If your answer is no to the last question, please give sensible reasons.

I suggest you watch Mrs. Ezekwesili's interview at Oxford. Don't focus on her defence of obasanjo, but listen to her reasons for why Nigeria is as messed up as it is and also listen to her solutions. If you have time, read Ben Bruce's advice to buhari too.

Although press freedom is a really good thing, we should not make a mountain out of a molehill. Please let's focus on issues and criticise reasonably so we can all have a better Nigeria.

OP is just trying to get traffic to his blog and I think it is good for him. He can keep deceiving the gullible there but he can't continue it here because we will continue to expose him

dustmalik:
Dead On Arrival. We all know this issue has been beaten down, blue and black. I see this as a way of promoting your website, as your 'STOMACH iNFRASTRUCTURE BID' didn't work out for you. Anyway, to each, their own.

obi4eze:
Lalasticlala this should not make Frontpage. We have read enough articles on this issue. There are better stories than this

Balyz:
Last year jonathan ordered state security agents to confiscate print copies of media publications he deemed hostile to his regime under the pretext of 'national security'. That way for days running, newsprint of media houses like dailytrust, leadership and the nation were seized en route to their distribution centres. It would be hypocritical of the TANoids to point an accusing finger at Buhari for a much lesser infringement on the freedom of the press.

My own na good morning, Guys

barcanista:
Wow! Thanks for the exortation.
Men and brethren what shall we do?

dearpreye:
Brethren, at this juncture, I'll painfully draw the curtain to a close. Even the owls are screeching!

Every once in a while, it's very healthy to lay aside the weight of hate, abuse, disrespect, name calling, and then adorn the garment of love, humanity and deep affection. It's befitting to sheathe the swords of war and put on the armour of grace and peace. Love elongates; hate shortens.

Let's embrace peace and all shall be well.

It's being fun!

God bless you all!

barcanista:
Haba! Maybe you are being too "nice" with the babes that you fancy (I hope you get my point). Perhaps we should call truckpusher and dearpreye to do justice to the subject.

He may be considering that already
