baralatie:So, your point is? |
Re: Is Nigeria Worth Dying For? by baralatie(m): 9:19am On Oct 23, 2015 |
cocoduck:before one can begin to call other people names. let us understand what you meant by the phrase " a man or woman worth his or her salt" |
Re: Is Nigeria Worth Dying For? by Nobody: 9:21am On Oct 23, 2015 |
cocoduck:Thank you. You understand it. These are dwarf men. At times you listen to some Nigerians. Elderly men precisely and they speak of the good old days. There's never been a good old days. |

Reyginus:the point is 1,if one to look exactly like Jesus Christ or as perfect as an ANGEL there will be no earth,no nations ,no tribes,no god morning or good evening. it will just sit down and do nothing and watch everything and all things go wrong because you are not an angel! 2,but History never went that way!it was a gradual growth,it was one action good one and another one over time.these actions become corner stones for the other good actions to come! |

baralatie:You don't understand your point then. The point you are trying to make is that these men are some special kind, any attempt to make them appear like the other man on the street defines then the other man on the street. In essence nothing significant. They mustn't appear as angels but they are bound, by virtue of how we see them, to appear as progressives but they are not. baralatie:Which history book have you been reading? History is simply a collection of past events it is not a collection of positive past events. It's left for us to interprete and give meaning with the data gathered. These men are the reason for our hatred of one another here. If Ahmadu Bello was not a fanatic. If Awolowo was not tribalistic. If Zik was not selfish. If Murtala had been smarter. If Gowon had set up a reconciliation program like the Tutsi and Hutu did. If Buhari had set up institutions to fight corruption instead of claiming to be the antidote. |

Reyginus:the man on the street is SIGNIFICANT! it is the actions of the man on the street that makes them different.their actions is based on HOW THEY UNDERSTAND TGE PROBLEMS AROUND THEM AND PROFER SOLUTIONS! That is how heroes are made! |
Re: Is Nigeria Worth Dying For? by baralatie(m): 9:45am On Oct 23, 2015 |
Reyginus: if we start history now a long day awaits! |
Re: Is Nigeria Worth Dying For? by Nobody: 9:46am On Oct 23, 2015 |
baralatie:So if the man is significant in this sense why are we not talking about the man on the street? Why are Nigerians not aware of my neighbours existence? Since you want to compare them. |
Re: Is Nigeria Worth Dying For? by baralatie(m): 9:53am On Oct 23, 2015 |
Reyginus:how many of the good things in your neighbour do you talk about first? |

hmmmm baralatie: |
Re: Is Nigeria Worth Dying For? by Missy89(f): 9:57am On Oct 23, 2015 |
lol no |
Re: Is Nigeria Worth Dying For? by Nobody: 9:58am On Oct 23, 2015 |
baralatie:that's not really the point. If we are talking of our founding fathers with words of super heroes then they should be super heroes. But they are not but we are made to believe so. |
Re: Is Nigeria Worth Dying For? by Nobody: 9:59am On Oct 23, 2015 |
baralatie:My point there is, if they had done the right thing we wouldn't be in this stinking mess. |
Re: Is Nigeria Worth Dying For? by baralatie(m): 10:00am On Oct 23, 2015 |
Reyginus:I never called them super heroes but there are HEROES! that is what I am saying! |
Re: Is Nigeria Worth Dying For? by Nobody: 10:03am On Oct 23, 2015 |
baralatie:No problem. If we must call one a hero then the person should really be a hero. But the claim to heroism here is simply being the first to lead. Even Hitler too was a hero. These men destroyed this country. |
Re: Is Nigeria Worth Dying For? by baralatie(m): 10:04am On Oct 23, 2015 |
Reyginus:nooo! that is not the analysis these men have done the right thing.the problem is there are people who are working day and night to make sure that their actions,decisions and goals do not work in the least way! just like a woman wants to cook soup and children come into the kitchen to put more pepper into the soup! |

abduljabbar4:so, because their opinions differ from yours you call them fools?why not use sound logic to convince them otherwise. |
Re: Is Nigeria Worth Dying For? by Nobody: 10:10am On Oct 23, 2015 |
baralatie:She didn't teach the kids the essence of morality then. Same thing applies here but only that there was no intention of going the market in this case. We should desist from this praise and worship of false gods. |
Re: Is Nigeria Worth Dying For? by baralatie(m): 10:14am On Oct 23, 2015 |
Reyginus:what if she taught the kids morality,Cooking manners and etiquette? and the kids were of age? |
Re: Is Nigeria Worth Dying For? by Nobody: 10:17am On Oct 23, 2015 |
God forbid me die for Nigeria. I can't even dash my leg on a stone for Nigeria |
Re: Is Nigeria Worth Dying For? by Nobody: 10:19am On Oct 23, 2015 |
baralatie:If she taught them the right things in the proper manner they will have no other choice than to be coordinated. If these so-called heroes were intelligent enough and abundantly good, their predecessors would have seen the brighter and positive nature of things. It is like teaching a kid a particular sport. Say soccer. There's no way the kid will learn any other sport talk more master it above soccer. That's how humans are made. The same thing appears with hatred. If I only teach a kid how to hate that kid will grow hating love so much. |
Re: Is Nigeria Worth Dying For? by baralatie(m): 10:23am On Oct 23, 2015 |
Reyginus:that is how it should normally go but that a mother or father is a sports lover does not mean that child would like sports! |
Re: Is Nigeria Worth Dying For? by Nobody: 10:26am On Oct 23, 2015 |
baralatie:Ideas are not inherent in us. Science is yet to say so. Everything is learned. The thing is, even if the child has no passion for the game there's no other game to play. It is either you are good and pass it around or you stay quiet and don't commit evil. |
Re: Is Nigeria Worth Dying For? by Nobody: 11:07am On Oct 23, 2015 |
Missy89:You can do better than this. Nigeria is worth dying for |
Re: Is Nigeria Worth Dying For? by Missy89(f): 11:33am On Oct 23, 2015 |
Truthpallbearer: I dont think so. Why should anyone die for Nigeria? Gimme one good reason |
Re: Is Nigeria Worth Dying For? by Nobody: 12:26pm On Oct 23, 2015 |
Missy89:When the cause is right |
Re: Is Nigeria Worth Dying For? by semochendo1(m): 11:18am On Oct 26, 2015 |
bonnelblack: Why can't you keep your political synopsis and respond to the questions asked? I repeat, people like you fail out of egocentric exuberance, always believing you are right. The questions are simple enough for the dumbest of all being to understand, I'm surprised you don't. |
