What are you saying? Who told you democracy is the only system of government? Other countries have their systems of government, everyone has the choice to choose whatever suits their society.

Demmzy15:
Why shouldn't there be freedom of expression in France? Is it not a democracy accompanied by liberalism and secularism?

Rich4god:
So that dress up there is ok by you... Where ever you are, obey the law of the land... I have seen some ladies dress seductively pass in front of where Muslims are praying. If the Muslims harrass them now, we will all come here and be shouting that Muslims are intolerance. But even their fellow Muslim ladies fully covered up always try not to pass where prayer is going on... Am not against anyone dressing as they like, but dress according to your environment and laws of the land.

derrydinny:
that is good, she should be prosecuted for it


always obey the laws of the land, such should be done in Nigeria, freedom of expression shouldn't put others in inconvenience

Guestlander:
The technology to clone humans is probably available but the clone is going to be a baby copy, not exact adult copy. Is this difficult to understand?

SolutionMee:


Is this beef, envy or what? Is it a crime that I'm privileged to be working in the US?

I'm living in a developed country. So I'm very much exposed than you. Just believe me when I tell you that it is very possible to clone Buhari.

That's just a supposition though. Opposition is not madness.

nameo:
Well some people would argue that he was in control of his full senses at that time. You know senility increases with Age. That is what he is been accused of now. Not going for the debate increases that suspicion.

delishpot:
So if you wrote exams in previous classes it means you can opt out of comming exams in the future?

I do marvel at the kind of brain some Nigerians have.
this is a very simple issue to understand.
People steal and hide under the term corruption to escape conviction because the constitution is not very clear on that unlike stealing which is very clear.have you not for once wondered why phone thieves most times get higher higher sentences where as when it comes persons stealing public funds,most times they get exonerated.this is the problem justice Musdapher pointed out and which GeJ quoted in his statement.
there is no tribe in Nigeria that does not abhor thieves and have a word for them,but what is the word for corruption in our local dialect.if there is a thief in commuinty,people will know that person for what he is,a thief but that can't be said when you said that this person is corrupt.that is how stealing is not corruption.

FarahAideed:
You are just so shameless see what you are supporting ...you clearly know the senile dullard has nothing upstairs to debate but you shamelessly want him to continue for sectarian reasons.

You know the video below is the real reason why Buhari avoids debate

LordAdam16:
They are corruption not stealing. It is illiteracy that allows you to conflate those two without realizing the differences.

This is the simplistic definition of corruption according to Transparency International:



This is the simplistic definition of stealing from Google:



As such, in your examples:

A. The government official did not steal the car. He did not take it without permission or legal right. After all, it was approved legally. However, he abused his entrusted power for private gain to deflate the actual price of the car so he could legally buy it at a far reduced price. That's corruption.

B. Same as A. The politician and his cronies did not steal the hotels. He instead used his political office for private gain.

C. Same as B and C. It is well within the NSA's right to spend on national security concerns. That is not stealing. When he abuses his office to classify non-security concerns as security concerns, that is corruption.

Even after building Almajiri schools and new universities, GEJ couldn't force Nigerians to use dictionaries which are freely available. It wasn't just GEJ that said it. The Chief Justice of Nigeria also echoed it. Yet you and your ilk called Jonathan clueless for making the statement but couldn't go toe-to-toe with the country's most prominent legal luminary.

Many Nigerians are daft beyond measure, you included. If you can't tell the difference between stealing and corruption in 2018, go ask for refund from your English and economics/commerce teachers. They failed you. Then when you're done, never forget you're an id*ot for not improving your knowledge when all it takes is 30 minutes and a bit of computer literacy to educate yourself on the difference.

“ The CJN, Mustapha decided to take a look at the files that dealt with corruption and more than 80 per cent of them were just cases of stealing. But people use corruption to cover all. What I am saying is that let us go to the South-West and go to a typical community and they look at you and say this man is corrupt, people will be looking at you. But call that same man “ole”, that is thief, and see what will happen to him. Our people hate thieves more than corrupt people, yet most times, we use corruption to cover the lapses.

“A thief should be called a thief and treated as such. In my village, when an adult steals, they strip him naked, humiliate him and his family, but if you say this man is corrupt, they won’t know what you are talking about. We are using corruption to cover it all up.

“So, let us communicate properly. It was not me that said it, I quoted Mustapha. He examined the corruption cases and he saw that they were just cases of stealing.

“We are identifying thieves; we can talk about what the agencies are doing. We have made more convictions in this period than before. But I always say that the answer is not convicting more people. We must make sure that they don’t steal. Do not put the money where they can steal it. That is what we are doing.”

gidgiddy:
The message is far more important than the messenger. What resonates with the people is Nnamdi Kanu's message of self determination, independence and freedom.

People like you are focused on the messenger, while people like us are focused on the message

That's why you will never be able to see what we see

gare:
What is Stealing ? Take (another man's Property) without Permission or legal rights and without intending to return, that is a simple definition of stealing.

What is Corruption ? Dishonest of Fraudulent conduct by those in power typically involving bribery

LordAdam16:
Anyone here who claims stealing is corruption should kindly translate stealing and corruption in his/her native language.



GEJ never said stealing is good. Neither did he say corruption is good. He simply said, let's call them by their appropriate names. Same way no one calls police brutality corruption, even though both are bad.

GEJ don't mind the illiterates.

Having floored them, the former president said they waited for him at the 2011 general election with threats of making the nation ungovernable for him.

I have problem with any person or body that preaches hate, bigotry and intolerance. Unfortunately, it can easily be found in Pentecostalism. Could you state what Aregbe did when he came to power in Osun state which correlates with this discourse?

ISI is government school financed by tax payers from every reigion in the land, so Muslims have the right to demand for Mosque. I can also bet that this same school has more than one Christian centre(Chapel, Church etc).

It's completely wrong for Aregbe to have said that but mind you this politics of religion has always been utilised by Politicians and religious leaders. Some pastors have bluntly told their congregation not to vote for Buhari because he wants to Islamize Nigeria.

The first thing i would strip Nigeria off if i had the power is religion. I would rather us worship the gods of the land than some alien gods from middle east.

abdulkayus:
Malaysia, Indonesia, Senegal, Gambia, Maldives, Comoros, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Morocco, Tunisia, Mauritania, Mauritius, Algeria, Iran, Kazakhstan, Niger, Mali, Turkey, Uzbekistan, Djibouti, Oman, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Bangladesh, Kuwait, Brunei are all Muslims majority countries, and some are even prosperous country that a lot of people like to go to for better life.
U guys should purge yourself of hatred and bigotry.

Demmzy15:
It's not irrelevant, you're the one who's speaking against hijab because some bastard elements use it for evil. I then gave example of how this same elements use western clothing to commit this same evil and you're now whining. Being secular doesn't mean you shouldn't allow people to practice their religion and hijab has nothing to do with you, so stop opening eye for what doesn't concern you. There are public schools all over the west that allow hijab, the US and some other countries allow Niqab for Muslims. Sikhs are allowed to wear their turbans and hold daggers for self defense in secular nations, why can't Nigerians tolerate one another?

Demmzy15:
Are Muslims are allowed to wear hijab to schools and paramilitary outfits in the UK, the answer is Yes. Don't bore me please.

MENELIIK:
You always give us this excuse when Christians are involved but switch code when discussing Muslims. Stop the hypocrisy!!!!

Demmzy15:
So because a Taliban bomber bombed with a suit, we should ban suits? Guy, you're not okay, did you even know that Taliban stock up a video camera, disguised themselves as journalist to kill Ahmad Massoud, so cameras should be banned according to your logic?

ollah2:
Is there church in the same school? Yes, but you don't want mosque to be there yet it's a government school. I can also bet there more more churches, Catholic and Pentecoastal but it's a crime for mosque to bs built on such a ground. You guys are bunch of selfish intolerant mofos.

I can say no Christian dominated country is without violence. Just within October to November, three christian terrorists named Ian Long, Robert Bowers and Cesar Sayoc killed people in the USA. I guess it shouldn't be talked about since they are christians

xarm:
I wonder why some of us find it very difficult to tolerate each other belief in this nation.

Demmzy15:
Dumb flaaathead, Muslim kids are allowed to wear hijab in UK public schools, I challenge your generation to dispute this fact. Muslim women are allowed to wear hijab in the police forces of the UK, Canada, US, Australia and many more. But bigoted Nigerians won't allow it, a country with 100 million Muslims. You people are very stupid, suicide bombers wear suits (I can show a video of an afghan Taliban bomber who blew up a police station in a 2-piece suit), shorts and shirts, and many other clothing- so according to your dumb analogy, we should ban these clothes? Do you even have sense at all?

Schools that ban hijabs or fasting will get Government backing if they face backlash, says minister
Schools that try to ban pupils from fasting and wearing hijabs will get backing from the Government if they face a backlash, the schools minister has said.

Lord Agnew of Oulton said he would help head teachers make difficult and “sensitive” decisions if they came up against opposition and would “not allow a culture of fear and intimidation to pass through the school gates”.

Writing in The Times on Saturday, Lord Agnew said teachers, school leaders and governors were “completely within their right to make decisions on how to run their schools in the best interests of their pupils [...] and we back their right to do so.”

Demmzy15:
If their religion permits it, no one is holding them. There's freedom of choice in Islam, the hijab, rasta cap, Sikh headgear isn't on your bald flat head, so stop lamenting

ollah2:
Keep quiet and quit writing like an illiterate that you are. The school was built by missionaries donkey years ago, are the missionaries still managing the school? Isn't it tax payer's money the government use in maintaining the school? Aren't the Muslims tax payers?

The school is now a government school and they have every right to demand for the mosque. While writing this lengthy bigoted comment, you didn't include the part that christian songs are sang on the assembly ground, students are enforced to learn those songs and other christian activities.

Isn't it supposed to be a Government school? Isn't a Government school supposed to be fair to all religions in the land and yes(traditionalists too)?

Shove your hatred down your dirty as.shole.

Incase you don't know, Christianity is the weapon because it promote violence and terrorism

madone:
They want to wear hijab allow them na.

almujeebe:
When something is called international, it means it's for all, not for section..... Are you saying if Arabians comes there, they must unveil their hijab because some sect of people don't like it.

What damages has Hijab caused or what differences has it makes to the knowledge been acquired from the school?
