So because Adegbite cautions USA on labelling BH a terrorist group, he knows BH or is a sponsor. SMH4U
When they start dropping unmanned drones and killing 'suspected' BH members with lots of civilians, then u'll all know what's up.

To be sincere, I'll prefer the US mistakingly killing the innocent than BH killing the innocent every sunday in our churches. Atleast I can challenge the US govt legally.

A Boko Haram guy was last year sentenced to 3years for using bombs while someone is sentenced to death for using a gun to threaten a woman (not killed yet) and someone claim that it is the Law. Boko Haram has been killing endlessly for up to 3 years now and in every case there will always not be enough evidence to prosecute them. I thought our Law recognises the difference between the letters of the law and the spirit of the law? How can a politician steal in billions, kill fellow politician in an election, publicly acknowledge the reciept of a bribe in Millions and go scotfree while a boy is sentenced to death for possessing a firearm? If the guy is not freed, I'll assume there is no honour in our Judiciary, from the Supreme court down to the customary court.

I can't imagine civil servants in the East demanding for New Yam Festival bonuses and allawances.

I laugh when people say that virginity is lack of opportunity but I'v come to realise that its a cliche which some persons use to make themselve look good even when they are jealous within. Its like saying that every Nigerian will steal if he is elected or appointed into govt. @OP, congrats, the like of ur guy is rare and I'll advice you to appreciate that. A man that withstood sexual temptation for 30Yrs is a disciplined man. It may not guarrantee a rosy home but losing it does not guarrantee it either. There are plenty virgins out there who chose it due to personal decisions and consecration, its not for lack of opportunity.

Am starting to admire this guy. Years ago when Elrufai claimed that the Senate members are demanding bribe from him the leadership of the Senate asked him to produce an audio record to prove his case and d case died a natural death. This time the claim now is that Femi manipulated Farcrook to collect bribe even when there are video and voice recording to prove otherwise.

National Assembly of Fraudsters

@phipex, what you said is real but I won't say much cos am guilty of some of them but our leaders are still our major problem. Imagine what's happening with the subsidy probe?

This is a very funny joke but on a serious note, I'v been a supporter of GEJ but if nobody goes to jail for this mess then he will lose my support for life.

alj harem: 1898 The name Nigeria was given by Mrs. Flora Shaw (Lady Lordlugard)
Nigeria is the populated country in African continent
Nigeria’s population is a mix of over two hundred fifty (250) tribes and former three (3) regions of the East, West and North. The three regions has total of 923, 768,000 square kilometers.
Nigeria borders are: Atlantic Ocean on the South, Cameroon on the East, Niger Republic on the North, and Benin republic of West.

1922 First Political party establish (NNPP) by Herbert Macaulay

First Nigerian to speak foreign language: Oba Esigie of Benin
First Nigerian chief judged: Ademola Adetokubo

Some of these claims are highly debateable, how can someone claim that the first to speak a foreign language is an OBA of Benin? What of those Hausas that were in contact with the Arabs before Nigeria was formed, were they not speaking Arabic? Some of these things could be like the case of crediting an invention to the person that first collects the Patent Right.

If this news came out in April, I would have taken it to be april fool, Sanusi is gradually loosing it day after day. Maybe he wants to be remembered for something since he has just a year to go. God forbid!!!

ondo_boi: anthony obi is the former governor of osun state...if you ask me, i'll say he's a good man

This guy should moderate the jokes section. hope I'v not mistyped cos of lafta?

alj harem:

Ok I don't know of HOR

but these are the ones I know of

1. Abacha's son an indigene of borno is contesting to win in kano

2. We have 2 commissioners in Lagos who are of Igbo origin

Those are the ones I know for now, I am sure they are more

Am sure there is a difference btw being appointed a commissioner and winning an election, as far as the Nigerian state of over 50yrs is concerned, such a thing is still a wish, it has never been recorded.

alj harem:

Yes you can !!!

Where are you getting this Ideas from that your can't

Pls can you give me the name of any house member representing a state that is not his', I don't even mean a state outside his tribe?

A woman (not even a man) is elected in another man's land yet my own countrymen said its their birthright to rule till eternity. I can't even imagine running for house of rep in another state even though am a full blooded Nigerian. The difference is clear. Congrats Madam!

2face Idibia?!

See as this guy use his own hand to tarnish his image, now his name has become an object of joke. Succeess without character can be deadly!

Dear Aregbe, so since we have a ministry for youth affairs the FG should also create a ministry for Old Granny's affair to take care of their pension matters. Since there is a ministry for Women affairs, The FG should establish a ministry for Men affairs to help poor men marry wives. This is too hollow for a Governor.

PHIPEX: I pray this gets to the front page but if it doesn't am sure someone will read this. Ordinarily, this should be in the Education section but I believe its better here(politics section) since I consider it a policy oriented issue. This is not a call for the abolishion of NYSC but a call to optimise the inherent opprotunities it affords. I have been to the NYSC orientation camp and I can say that beyond the fun in it which most of us had, the programme is a failure in term of what I and some other people thought it should be.

The NYSC to the best of my understanding is the largest gathering of the Nigerians youth under a single umbrella every 4 months of the year for about 21days. Even though the programme itself is meant to be a time to serve ones Fatherland but am curious as to why such a golden opportunity of having young men and women who will take control of the nation's leadership in the nearest future be wasted interm of creating a new culture and orientation in them. For those who have seen the program of event, the only aspect that is novel to the youth is usually the Military drills and parade, the rest are thesame things we the young graduates have come across in our days as an undergraduate. But for the presence of the militarymen around, most youth corppers prefare to loiter while in camp because there is nothing new in the program. The consequences are usually the urgly stories that come out of the camps because most corppers are either bored or prefer to exert their energy elsewhere.

I recognise that the NYSC leadership has just introduced skill acquisition opportunities in the program this year but that is not enough, it is also not enough to call professional bodies for us to join. The Nation is currently in crisis and most of the actors are youths some of them went through these orientation camps, will it not be proper to fashion out a more educative and change of behaviour oriented programs that will ensure that when these youths leave camp after 21days, they will become morally oriented to help confront the society challenges?
1. Will it be out of place to invite successful men and captains of industries in the country to the Youth camps to help inspire the youths to aspire to greater heights?

2.What will it look like to see the likes of Wale Soyinkas, Chimamadas, 2face Oluwaseun Osewa and very many other "idols" get closer to the young graduates and help in correcting our mentality of getting rich quick at any cost or taking to violence at the slightest provocation?

3.Is it impossible to make the NYSC orientation camps look like a mini national confab where intellectual youths could offer their opinions and ideas for the progress of the country?

4.Where is the place of the National Orientation Agency in NYSC?

Our leaders past have all squandered the opportunity to use our enormous material resources for Nigeria's good, if the present complement them by wasting this great opportunities to change the mindset of the youths being the country's human resources then by the long awaited 20'2020, when we would have taken control of the leadership of the country, Nigeria could be a pariah in the world. This is because, there may never be another opportunity to gather the youths together again in the manner of NYSC till they become leaders of the country.

I hope whoever knows the people responsible for planning the NYSC program of event will do something about this. Opinions are also solicited here to help the Corppers get better.

Checkout the bolded Phipex

Thats a true talk but will they listen? Very soon our Lawmakers will set up a probe panel to probe NYSC officials cos thats their new style Great opportunities being wasted for lack of vision. The camps are called orientation camps but the youths now go there to have fun.

So there is no new project waiting for attention in the country or has the gate become too small to pass their stolen wealth?

jason123: On a side note, is this the Onitsha people talk about on NL ??

No part of Nigeria is developed apart from Lagos, Rivers (PH), AkwaIbom and Abuja!!!

If I post some pictures of Mushin and Agege you will also conclude that no part of Lagos is developed. Focus on the topic and stop making baseless statements to appear civilised.

aribolseg: @ernike.... I tink u can apply during ur service year. Abt the test date. I can't ansa that may b @isi31 will. I did mine in lagos Ikeja. Its beta if u can drop ur CV wit dem @ head office buh mind u requirement is 2'1 with 24 age maximum. Best of luck.

which is correct now? The OP said 27yrs max and ur saying 24yrs max.

@Careytommy, How I wish they know that since the days of John the Baptist until now, Christianity has suffered violence and in those instances violence always got subdued

We all know that the Caliphate is culpable even though those in authority wouldn't want to say it in order to avoid the usual protest associated with religious intolerance in the North.

I find it funny when I hear Moslems shout here and there that Islam is a religion of peace. We don't need anybody to tell us that because by their fruits we shall know them. Its similar to that Ipaidabribe website that is proclaming everywhere that Alison is Nigeria's best Petroleum Minister ever. Let d moslem community who believe that BH is wrong go and occupy our streets and Mosques in protest of this carnage then we shall know that Islam is a religion of peace otherwise all Moslems should hide their heads in shame. There are over 5 major religions in the world yet only Islam has been a torn in our flesh.

Thank you for your polite response. However, please see this xplanation again.


Question: Aren't there some verses of the
Quran that condone "killing the infidel"? Answer: The Qur'an commands Muslims to
stick up for themselves in a defensive
battle -- i.e. if an enemy army attacks,
then Muslims are to fight against that
army until they stop their aggression. All
of the verses that speak about fighting/ war in the Quran are in this context.
There are some specific verses that are
very often "snipped" out of context, either
by critics of Islam discussing "jihadism,"
or by misguided Muslims themselves who
wish to justify their aggressive tactics. "Slay Them" - If They Attack You First For
example, one verse (in its snipped
version) reads: "slay them wherever you
catch them" (Quran 2:191). But who is this
referring to? Who are "they" that this
verse discusses? The preceding and following verses give the correct context:
"Fight in the cause of God those who fight
you, but do not transgress limits; for God
loves not transgressors. And slay them
wherever you catch them, and turn them
out from where they have turned you out; for tumult and oppression are worse than
slaughter... But if they cease, God is Oft-
forgiving, Most Merciful... If they cease, let
there be no hostility except to those who
practice oppression" (2:190-193). It is
clear from the context that these verses are discussing a defensive war,
when a Muslim community is attacked
without reason, oppressed and prevented
from practicing their faith. In these
circumstances, permission is given to
fight back -- but even then Muslims are instructed not to transgress limits, and to
cease fighting as soon as the attacker
gives up. Even in these circumstances,
Muslim are only to fight directly against
those who are attacking them, not
innocent bystanders or non-combatants. "Fight the Pagans" - If They Break
Treaties A similar verse can be found in
chapter 9,
verse 5 -- which in its snipped, out of
context version could read: "fight and slay
the pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in
wait for them in every stratagem (of
war)." Again, the preceding and following
verses give the context. This verse was
revealed during a
historical period when the small Muslim community had entered into treaties with
neighboring tribes (Jewish, Christian, and
pagan). Several of the pagan tribes had
violated the terms of their treaty, secretly
aiding an enemy attack against the
Muslim community. The verse directly before this one instructs the Muslims to
continue to honor treaties with anyone
who has not since betrayed them,
because fulfilling agreements is
considered a righteous action. Then the
verse continues, that those who have violated the terms of the treaty have
declared war, so fight them... (as quoted
above). Directly after this permission to
fight, the
same verse continues, "but if they repent,
and establish regular prayers and practice regular charity, then open the way for
them... for God is Oft-forgiving, Most
Merciful." The subsequent verses instruct
the Muslims to grant asylum to any
member of the pagan tribe/army who
asks for it, and again reminds that "as long as these stand true to you, stand ye
true to them: for God loves the righteous."
Conclusion Any verse that is quoted out of
context
misses the whole point of the message of
the Quran. Nowhere in the Quran can be found support for indiscriminate
slaughter, the killing of non-combatants,
or murder of innocent persons in
'payback' for another people's alleged
crimes. The Islamic teachings on this
subject can be summed up in the following verses
(Quran 60:7- : "It may be that God will grant love (and
friendship) between you and those whom
ye (now) hold as enemies. For God has
power (over all things), and God is Oft-
Forgiving, Most Merciful. God does not
forbid you, with regard to those who fight you not for (your) faith
nor drive you out of your homes, from
dealing kindly and justly with them: for
God loves those who are just."

Even though GEJ may not have done enough, I believe his effort at arresting dis situation is being frustrated by certain elements around him who are sympathetic to BH. As it stands now, am yet to see what will make me cast my vote for a northerner in the next election.

I don't believe this camp is in Lagos and even if it is, Boka boys will be so stupid to attack Lagos. It will be almost impossible to succeed at that.

This is d best opportunity for the masses to get involved in this anticorruption crusade. Let whoever has information about that Judge pubish it here afterall we are all covered by the FOI bill. Let's help our country, EFCC alone can not do it and we have to start from somewhere.

wirinet:

Your threat above is immature and it shows you as a very bias moderator. When self righteous "born again" Christians troll every atheist thread, you do not threatened them with ban. They troll threads by satanists, Catholics, amorc, and even Muslim threads, you are happy with it. But once an atheist comments on a born again topic, you start fuming and threaten with ban and maybe hell fire.

Learn to become tolerant of other people's views.

As for the topic, in modern civilization, there is nothing like god centred relationship, a relationship should be based on love, tolerance and respect. And sèx is a very important part of it. I doubt there would be any relationship in the first place if there is no sexual attraction involved. The problem is if the sole aim of the relationship is selfish sexual satisfaction instead of the satisfaction of both parties.

I am surprised at the energy and importance self righteous people place on other peoples private séxual lives. If that amount of energy is expended on helping others in need, in fighting and discouraging corruption, dishonesty, hypocrisy, etc, then the society would be a much better place.

The main problem in Nigeria today is greed, avarice, sheer wickedness any body in authority including the clergy, and not who is having séx with whom

I challenge self righteous born agains to provide me with statistics that shows "god centred romantic relationships" succeed better than those of others, is the divorce rate of god centred marriages less than those of non believers? There are many GO's that have divorced and remarried, so many are engaged in extra marital affairs within their marriages.

So please provide us with proof that "god centred relationships" succeeds better than others.

my dear, the statistics ur asking for has been published years ago but since it is not in arithmetics many people didn't read it and some that read it didn't understand nor believe it. Its published in simple grammar with several hidden meanings. Care to take ur time to read but you must know the Author and the Finisher of it to understand it otherwise, u may find it confusing and conflicting. Am talking about the Bible. Cheers!!!

logicboy:

That's where you fail. You think that because I am an atheist, I'm a sex addict? I am a virgin (although I do a lot of touching)!

So many christians lie about their sexual activities that I doubt most of them when they claim to be chaste. I personally caught a christian borther watching gay porn. See how he was begging me not to tell anyone

Am disappointed in you. You are a virgin yet call other virgins hypocrites, what then are you if not a supper hypocrite. That a supposed christian sinned does not mean every other christian sins. I taught ur name is Logic?

logicboy:

Clearly, I respect truthful christians and dislike self-righteous hypocrites

I can see that ur pained that it's not every one is a sex addict and sees it as normal. Who are u to determine who is telling d truth and who is not. If I spent 4 yrs in d university without sex, will I not be able to spend 3yrs outside it wtout sex? My dear, God knows we are humans when He called it sin and am sure ur not more Logical than God.u may continue to doubt it cos u'v not known that POWER that keeps.
