Cherez:Did you read the report or you just like arguing just for the sake of argument. Where was it written that any of the Iranian citizens detained were suspected terrorist? Have you heart of any Iranian planning or carrying out a terrorist attack on US or European soil? There is no international law that can regulate foreigners in another country. It the countries themselves that make the laws that governs the rights of foreigners. Nigerians asked Ghanaians to leave in the early 80s and nothing happened. Idiamin asked Lebanese and other foreigners to leave Uganda in the 70s, nothing happened. |
MelesZenawi: Nearly 200 Iranian Americans were detained at the US-Canada border |
Cherez:But Americans & Britons can ask anyone to leave. If not for the courts (American law), I am sure Trump is ready to ask all Iranians to leave the US. Many of them were detained last week during the US - Iran showdown. Citizens of countries have free access to countries it's government has cordial relationship with. Biafra is very unlikely to have cordial relationship with Nigeria, sorry the zoo. |
NaMeAboki:Well i did not see your post where you said anything against hisbah. I have known you to be defending hisbah with vigour since I noticed you. I am glad you are educated, so we can debate on an intellectual level instead of emotional level, without the use of threats, intimidation and innuendos. My problem with you is that you are sometimes dishonest. You view issues from your narrow perspective and not care about how issues affect others. I call that entitlement mentality. Don't misunderstand me. I supported Buhari 100%, I did two years schooling in sokoto in the late 80s and fell in love with sokoto and northerners. When I was in sokoto, I did not feel threatened, I drank beer when I wanted to (but in a private bar or private space), I worshiped in a church when I felt like (all the churches were on Ahmadu bello road ), although I hate pork, no one threatened me from eating it. In fact when I was leaving one of my fulani friend offered to give me a goat as a parting gift. That was love. Today, the story is different, I would not go back to sokoto for a million dollars. There is so much religious intolerance. You guys now want to impose your beliefs and lifestyle on others. Now, what seperated an hisbah Police from amotekun? Are you saying if I steal or commit murder, hisbah Police will not arresting me? They may not have the powers to prosecute me, but they will effect the arrest, using violence if need be. They arrest people selling and drinking beer, they arrest men and women in hotel rooms. You are aware that there is a huge security challenge in the southwest and the south as a whole. Farmers are having difficulty earning their livelihood, due to cattle grazing and attacked by fulani herdsmen, and these have been going on for decades with increasing intensity. The federal government has either been complicit, incompetence or non challant, what do you expect the governors or the people to do? |
Gbemishile1:So what sayest thou of Kano State Hisbah Corps which had been in operation since 2003 and Civilian JTF? |
NaMeAboki:Na wa o. You are so inconsistent. You arguing everyday for the support of Sharia law, hisbah Police and civilian JTF in the north , but now arguing against Amotekun in the south. People have been asking your northerners to differentiate between hisbah, JTF and Amotekun and you keep mute. I think the southerners are finally waking up from the injustices we have been suffering from people who feels they own the country. Do your sharia up north and my people will stay away from the north. We will do our Amotekun and herdsmen should stay away from the south. |
magicminister:This issue might be a blessing in disguise. It may help unite the igbos and the Yorubas against the entitlement mentality of the Fulanis. |
DMerciful:This is besides the point. You asked why the supreme court did not punish anyone, I told you that no one was brought before the supreme Court for punishment. A case has to come to the supreme Court all the way from the high courts before they can make judgements. Besides, it's the lower courts that punishes, the supreme Court either ratifies or dismiss. |
DMerciful:Anyone was not brought before the supreme Court for punishment. |
seunmsg:You raised a valid point. We should be looking at how and why INEC cancelled over 200,000 valid votes and still declared a candidate winner. In saner climes, the state INEC chairman and possibly the national chairman should resigned or be fired (and possibly prosecuted ). |
OYAY:Our igbo brothers trade in emotions. They think they can win or get what they want by stirring emotions. Most of them did not even bother to read the reason for the judgement, they just start screaming; Fulani herdsmen, sharia judges and Buhari. You wonder what concerns these with the judgement? This is the crux of the judgement; “Vote due to the appellant Senator Hope Uzodinma and the APC from 388 Polling Units were wrongly excluded from scores ascribed to the appellant(to them).The lower courts had rejected the evidence presented by hope Uzodinma because the evidence did not originate from the witnesses presenting the evidence. The panel led by Justice Malami Dongondaji had in the judgment dismissed Messrs Ararume, Nwosu and Uzodinma’s petitions for lacking in merit on the grounds that they failed to prove the allegations made in their petitions.This to me is a stupid argument. So the learned justices were saying that documents originating from INEC or the police, but presented by agents and lawyers of the petitioner cannot be admitted, because they did not write the documents themselves. Mind you, they did not alleged the documents were forged. |
YelloweWest:It was only hope that was able to present evidence that he got 236,000 votes from 318 polling units. JonDon12:The onus lies on Ihedioha to present evidence that he got votes from the 236,000 polling units. You cannot expect hope uzodinma or the supreme Court justices to do that for him. The problem was the admissibility of the evidence uzodinma presented. The lower courts dismissed the evidence, while the supreme Court admitted it. One the evidence was admitted, ihedioha has lost. |
BecaciaBarbie:A very good friend is always proud that he had sèx with his wife the very day he met her. Their marriage is over 20 years. Does that mean God did not ordain the ordain the marriage. Different strokes for different folks. What works for you might not work for others. |
calabardick:No o. She married a banker. The old guy forgot the small engagement As soon as she aborted the baby. But was still preaching love. The whole family went against the guy and insisted the lady to dumb his sorry ass. Just before she was commissioned, he went to her base crying and almost rolling on the floor, begging to continue the relationship. What is annoying is not the fact that he was struggling, but he was not serious.Why will you have a relationship for over 6 years and not think of proposing engagement until she becomes pregnant. OK, After engagement, then what? |
Olalan:The spouse family seem irresponsible but was able to send their daughter to nursing school? You think nursing schools and nursing exams comes cheap? But to you, the family of a guy that would agree to a small engagement , not marriage and then have a baby out of wedlock is responsible. The guy was asking for engagement, not marriage. The girl is right to demand a proper marriage after 4 years of free knacking. So when will he be ready for marriage. I have had a cousin in similar situation. She got pregnant during her NYSC, and the guy insisted on having the baby. They brought drinks and kola to my uncle's house. When we asked them when they will be ready for the marriage proper, they said we should not worry, that they would come soon. That was 11 years ago. Till today, we have not seen their brake lights. They sent money for the child upkeep for the first 5 years. Today, it's our family that pays school fees and upkeep for the boy. The grandmother that is following her grandchild has seen, heard and experienced far more than the so called moralists. She wants the best for her grandchildren. |
chewwie:her silly grand mother did not get her pregnant, but when the baby is born, who will buy pampers, baby formula, medicals, etc for the baby? Who will bear the medical expenses of the birth, especially if there are complications or requires C/S? It's still the girls parents (and maybe with assistant from the grandparents ) that house her, feed her, pay her school fees, etc. If the girl and the guy are totally independent, and would not constitute a burden on her family, then the silly grand mother and her parents will have no business whatsoever on whether to have a baby or not. What do you mean "She should carry the pregnancy to term and leave the baby with you and move on with her life"? Leave the baby with the guy? |
cooltola:This is a matter of opinion. Many people do not see a fertilised egg or zygote as a child. To the law, a fetus does not become a person until it is capable of independent existence. A woman cannot be forced to carry, birth and care for a baby she does not want. A child should not be a punishment for moral sins of a woman. All the argument against abortion are based on religious and moral grounds. The law does not recognise a fetus as a legal entity, so killing an unborn child is legal jargon. Medical science is still divided on when a fetus becomes conscious and can be recognised as a person. Even the children who are begging or suffering are hoping for a tomorrow. The better solution is to enforce a family planning by promoting the uses of condoms or anything to prevent the fertilization of human eggs if both parties are not ready to parent. Why should an unborn child pay the penalty of death because his or her parents were busy enjoying themselves irresponsibly? The northerner leaders should address the uncontrolled population growth, try to provide jobs and abortion is not the answer.This is the thinking of third world mindset. The hope for a better tomorrow does not justify the millions of unwanted children roaming the streets, constituting a menace to society, ie boko haram, agberos, cultists, etc. Having millions of uneducated and unwanted children is the chief ingredient for societal anarchy. |
No too surprised, they are both gentleman. Men don't keep grudges forever. I would be more surprised to see Amaechi sitting down and shaking hands with mama peace. |
calabardick:To me having a child you can't take care of is worse sin than abortion. It's absurd to insist on "keep the pregnancy" when the guy have to consult his family even to have a small engagement . I cry when I see videos of thousands upon thousands of almajiris line up the streets of kano. I had the same situation with someone close to me. She got admitted into the Navy but discovered she was pregnant for her boyfriend before the training. The boyfriend also insisted on keeping the baby and going to the family to do "small introduction". I advice her to terminate the pregnancy, since it's is the early days. Early stage pregnancy are relatively safe than late term pregnancy. Recommended a gynecologist from a reputable hospital (most gynaecologists perform abortions, but it's very expensive and off the books). It was done without out any issue whatsoever. She completed her training, got into the Navy, went for a university degree while still in the Navy and has been promoted rapidly since. See got married late last year and expecting their first baby this april. Imagine where she would have been if she had the baby and the good for nothing guy came to do the small engagement. I am sure sufferings would have been the portion of both mother and child. We must learn to be pragmatic and don't get obsessed by this moral religious self righteousness. Here is a video of the shear number of almajiris in northern nigeria. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gekDdJzxFbQ Anyone that don't feel the pain and sufferings of unwanted children does not have empathy. |
seankafor:I also love the igbos for their never say die spirit and their entrepreneurial spirit. Their greatest undoing is the lack of a recognisable unifying leader. The igbos don't like being subservient to a single leader, which is a huge disadvantage in negotiating in politics both nationally and internationally. This is why there is no single demand or goal, but multiple. Besides, who do you negotiate with? Kanu and his group want secession, the politicians wants federal power and influence, the traditional leaders want restructure and resource control. As had been asked before, why can the fives states come together and solve some pressing problems like road, power, and security? Why can't they organize and create their own Amotekun? |
sunnysmile80:How many times can I like this post? I give 1000 likes. You hit the nail on the head and then nail the coffin, Dead and buried, nothing more to add. A no sex before marriage romantic relationship sounds absurd. Why not ask your parents to arrange the marriage as in the days of old, you meet on the day of the marriage or just before and then have sex on your wedding night? In laws outside the bedroom waiting for the blood stained bedsheets and all. How exactly do you agree to enter into a no before marriage relationship? I see a fine lady and I approach her with the usual toasting lines like, hello In response the girls says, I have noticed you too and I think you are responsible and cute too. I agree, let's give it a try, but.... no sex before you marry me. Or will the girl agree to a relationship, but later give her conditions when the guy want to kiss and press something? |
Brightgem:See person talking about intellectual capacity. A person whose claim to dignity is only in her virginity (that's even assuming she is one). You think you are more successful, educated or more intelligent that Mia Khalifa? In terms of money (or prosperity as you guys like to call it), she is worth over $3 million. How much are you worth? In terms of relationships, she is currently engaged to a celebrity chef, to be married this summer. You can bet the marriage will be a media event. I am not exactly supporting or promoting mia khalifa's lifestyle, what I am against is imposing your morals and beliefs on others. I used her to show an example of 'who will marry you will marry you, virgin or not.' |
KingEzo:Abeg explain the redded quote for me, what do you mean by "I told her that she should give me some time so that I can go and discuss with my parents and organize introduction then do the engagement in a little way?" How much time do you need to discuss with your parents and then organize introduction ? Introduction for god sake, not even marriage. So the lady is supposed to suspend her education and career while waiting for you to propose engagement. If I am the girls parents, I would personally contact a very competent gynecologist and flush out the fetus. And then threaten to disown my daughter, if she as much as answer a phone call from the useless guy. |
Brightgem:So to you a woman's dignity is tied to whether she is a virgin or not? That's 1st century mindset. In the 21st century where women chart their own destinies without depending on men, their dignity is tied to their character, education and career. Those that feel their dignity is tied to their virginity better become a nun. Even Mia Khalifa married a young successful bachelor. |
pryme:You get husband for her? I hope you know that women have "best before date", it becomes increasingly difficult for women to find husband's (not to talk of child bearing difficulties) after her early 30's. There are many mid age ladies running from church to church looking for miracle husband and miracle of Sarah. |
franzis:No mind them. Oloshos de see husband before these pretending "holy mary" sisters. If you want fvck the guy, fvck him. If you don't want to fvck him, then leave him. It's wrong using sex as a condition for marriage. Sex before or after marriage does not determine a successful marriage. Your character and your other inate values that determines whether he marries you or the marriage is successful. |
Trump obviously hates Obama for reasons best known to him. Throughout the Obama presidency, Trump attacked Obama, both in person and his policies. It even got worse after he became president. Hardly a day goes by without Trump mentioning Obama. Some say it's due to jealousy, as Obama is as popular in the US as Trump himself. In the survey that came out last week they were tied on popularity. Outside the US, it a no contest, outside maybe Saudi Arabia and Israel, Obama is almost worship in foreign countries, while Trump is hated. The straw that broke the camels back was when Mitchell Obama was voted the most admired woman in the world, when his wife Melania did not even register on the scale. So you can understand how furious Trump must have been as he spent most of his speech on the Iran's missile attacked on US based criticizing Obama. He blame Obama for everything except launching the missiles itself. I want to show a video where Obama took on Trump while he was still president. He threw jibes at Trump's in a cool calculated and intelligent manner. Obama is a master orator. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7eJpWOY3r18 |
Dpharisee:Why are you comparing grapes to grapefruit? You mean south east governors, traditional rulers and political leaders set up a security outfit and Yorubas people reacted negatively? |
9jahotblog:Good development, I have been wondering what the Yorubas are waiting for all these years, allowing fulani herdsmen to take over their lands while all they do is wail. If the Hausa fulani north can form HISBAH Police and impose sharia law on non muslims, then the Yorubas (and igbos) has a right to form AMOTEKUN police and enforce a cow ban on Yoruba lands and restrict the movement of fulani herdsmen. I don't understand how the Hausa Fulanis and thing they can impose one law in northern Nigeria and deny the same law in southern Nigeria. |
But here someone threatened to go to Abuja and bring Buhari's head on a plate. The same people that condemned the attempt to arrest the person are the same people that support the arrest of someone threatened to kill Trump. It a wonder how they can switch on and off their cognitive ability at will. |
falopey:And you think Trump did not save face? This is what Trump said just one day before the attacks; “Let this serve as a WARNING that if Iran strikes any Americans, or American assets, we have.... targeted 52 Iranian sites, some at a very high level & important to Iran & the Iranian culture, and those targets, and Iran itself, WILL BE HIT VERY FAST AND VERY HARD,” Trump never specify American lives, he said any Americans or American interests. I said it from the beginning, the crisis is all demo, to whip up emotional sentiments. Both Trump and Khomeini's popularity were waning at home and both need an audio crisis to rally the people around their leader. Both Trump and Khomeini are not ready to fight an actual war, the proxy war is achieving all their aims. I became convinced Trump does not want to fight a war, after the Iranians shot down a US drone about 3 months ago. Trump threatened fire and brimstone (as usual) but stood down because over 150 Iranian (not american) lives will be involved. |
I said it before the crisis started, it's all demo. The US nor Iran are not interested in a war. Khomeini and Trump are very unpopular at home and both need to generate a crisis to look tough and unite against a "common enemy". It worked perfectly for Khomeini as the country is now United and people have forgotten their grievances. About Trump, I am not so sure. Democrats and independents are still skeptical about the reasons for assassinatiing Soleimani, and Trump's approval ratings has not moved from its traditional 40 to 45%. Most Nigerians don't understand international politics and how leaders use their lives to play chess. |

We should desist from being unnecessarily emotional!!!
