Every country represented at that UN meeting will mutter those words in their various languages

Aigbofa:

You all got it wrong!! She's doing this, so that when ibos finally return to Israel, they can live in peace and not be used as human shield against palestinian missiles!

Chongaiman:

She could as well make a case for security in Nigeria.

Under the Charter, the functions and powers of the Security Council are:

to maintain international peace and security in accordance with the principles and purposes of the United Nations;
to investigate any dispute or situation which mightlead to international friction;
to recommend methods of adjusting such disputes or the terms of settlement;
to formulate plans for the establishment of a system to regulate armaments;
to determine the existence of a threat to the peace or act of aggression and to recommend what action should be taken;
to call on Members to apply economic sanctions and other measures not involving the use of force to prevent or stop aggression;
to take military action against an aggressor;
to recommend the admission of new Members;
to exercise the trusteeship functions of the United Nations in "strategic areas";
to recommend to the GeneralAssembly the appointment of the Secretary-General and, together with the Assembly, to elect the Judges of the International Court of Justice

Damn! It just gets worse! The amount of ignorance expressed by some NLer's is bloody shocking!
How do you understand the process of setting up the UN Security Councils agenda?
International security matters do not include the price of garri or whatever else you dream up.

[size=14pt]Nigeria is the current chair of the United Nations (UN) Security Council.[/size]
So the UN Security Council hold a debate and folk here expect that, rather than discuss international affairs, Nigeria as chairman, should lead the UN Security Council on discussions about NEPA and the price of garri?

Bloody ridiculous!

90% of the posts here are downright embarrassing to the average Nigerians intelligence and grasp of international protocol.

Shame.

^^^^^^^

two days from now, re-read your post and tell mi if you make sense

Which part of the post is difficult to understand? I wasn't even speaking in parables. A good student of Nigeria's recent history will get the message at a glance.

But what if there are five of you in the house and one of you is busy cooking and then a neighbour shows up asking you to help extract a straw that got stuck in his ear? Would your not having gredged be a valid reason to turn him down?

This is understandable because e no be gredge matter again. Maybe like the ICC asking for one criminal ex-president who is hiding in your country. The request should be quickly obliged.

Chongaiman:

Some NLers are so intelligent that they are ignorant of what is meant to be sarcasm. Simply put, we are tired of image projection abroad. Modesty is for those who are alive. Hope you get the message this time.

Beaf:

You must be even dafter than you write.
Nigeria holds the chairmanship of the United Nations Security Council and you expect they should change the UN agenda to discuss Nigerian issues. How hoplessly foolish can one get?

MyJoe:

Nigeria is a sovereign state with a functional Foreign Affairs Ministry. The duty of that ministry includes diplomacy. Diplomacy includes resolving problems in other lands. It is not the duty of Nigeria's ambassador at the UN to go to Jos or the Niger Delta to resolve problems - there are ministries in charge of those. The ambassador is doing her work. Added to the fact that peace in the Middle East is a much desire goal because of our common humanity, there is also the issue of global relevance. I am as saddened about the state of Nigeria as most contributors here and believe our governments have relentlessly failed us. But we cannot keep on hold what we can do just because of our failures. Yes, international peace is our responsibility. Let Mrs Ogwu seek peace in the Middle East.

Everyone has problems and should naturally pay the utmost attention to his own problems before attending to others. But you do not resolve all your problems before listening to others. That is how it is in our everyday dealings. That is how it is in international relations. I have read articles written by angry people in the US and other Western nations demanding that their governments stop giving aid to Third World countries like Nigeria and co. The arguments are premised on the point that their countries also have problems - national debts and all.

Chongaiman:

Pardon me sir; We are not the first to hold this ceremonial position which carries no weight. How delusional can one get? What does that add to our national prestige?

debosky:



Beaf you need to repent. . . .spitting fire like this must be a free ticket to hell.

Beaf:

Bros, debosky, but you will be there too!
Can you imagine what people are saying here? Its mind boggling.
