Emessy: 1 . Ban all children under 18 years from nairaland Or 2. Request for a photo of birth certificate before registration on nairaland Or 3. Ban all IGBOS

Mods are not serious about the thing, they should start banning people for tribalism.

Make the registration process a bit more difficult / longer so you don't set up a lot of fake dummy accounts.

Start banning by IP address

We can also start by asking this guy what that is supposed to mean.

IGBOSON1:

^^^Listen to yourself! How can you force someone to love someone else; especially when he's of the firm belief that the other person hates him back.....and he has the scars to prove it!?

In any case, this 'hatred' you allude to is a consequence or symptom of a dysfunctional society; a society where the rights and freedoms of a people (as enumerated in my previous post) are denied them! The 'hatred' is not a causal factor but a symptom of a much deeper problem!

I dont mean to be insulting but I have to ask what is the point of all you said?

The OP was talking in general not just about Igbo's or any specific ethnic group.

As you rightly say this "hatred" is based upon a dysfunctional society, does that mean it is justified? Or we find peaceful means of fixing our broken society. All ethnic groups (PEOPLE) in this country have the scars to prove the country is not working, this hatred we bear each other is based on the assumption that there is not enough to go round so we must fight with each other for every scrap. I am half Yoruba and half Igbo my mom is Lagosian born and bred. If she hears bombing in the North "Oh those northerners / muslims are killing themselves again *mtchew*", fighting in Lagos "I bet you its those Ibadan people they dont know how to behave".

Point I am trying to make is we are all wounded in this country (some more than others - I think the civil war was the greatest single tragedy) but we unnecessarily hate each other when we are all just fighting to stay alive. This hatred is not only unjustified, its a lazy way of pinning our problems on others, it achieves nothing and only leads to more death.

Can I ask why is it a good thing that he withdrew the request of competency tests.

At the end of the day I want the best education for my kids not political favoritism - PDP or APC all the same thing to me. I want competent teachers. No be to just carry my tax money to chop.

jazzydee:

because it does not agree with your APC propaganda hence it should be trashed? did fashola not spend 3.2Bnaira on 10MW of electricity and is that not equivalent to 400million per MW?

those are facts and nothing malicious about it. we are just compating it to what the FG did.

No its not its N320 million per MW which is quite close to 260 million and not bad especially considering economies of scale that the FG is enjoying. And the fact that the FG constructed a whole power plant not a small scale one which had to fit within the constraints of Lagos.

So stop being partial.

mascot87: Can you see that when the man shows that he knows what to do and stood is ground showing it straight to the officer,he kept quiet and absconded.The moral of the lesson is get to know your right.Assuming the man was saying something like "abeg na,that one too much for me na,reduce am small" then the police officer will capitalize on that and make sure he collect something tangible from the man for himself.Kudos to the man

Oh boy you realise that they detained the driver?

You hear the policeman say oga come down at the end.

mumumugu: Investigating Atheism


After spying on the section, I decided to take it a bit further. I just need to understand the atheist stand point more. I am looking for honest answers on the below questions. Also take time to reallythink of the answers before you start answering.

1. Where do you come from?
2. What is your purpose on earth?
3. Does life have a meaning?
4. What is just and fair for you?
5. God forbids, if your child is murdered and the person is never caught and brought to justice, how would you handle it, seeing that life has no meaning and we are just here on earht to live and die. Where would you get justice from?
6. An intelligent, thinking child brought up by atheist parents becomes a Christian how do you respond? Oh and becomes preacher and starts a new church, would you say your child has a problem?
7. What about all the injustice in the world that goes by unreported, where must everyone else get justice from?
8. How do you answer your own child that is searching for meaning and purpose in life?
9. Why does research, discovery, diplomacy, art, music, sacrifice, compassion, feelings of love, or affectionate and caring relationships mean anything if it all ultimately comes to naught anyway?
10. Is death the end of life?

Disclaimer: I am not an atheist but I appear to have been loosing my faith small, small and was raised a Christian.

1. I will divide this into A and B part depending on if you like physics.

A Is it a crime to answer this question as I don't know? After all, just because you don't know something does not mean that you should make up an elaborate story about magic beings and the like. That is just weird.

B. For those of you who like physics and Biology we evolved from single cell organisms over billions of years adapting to various environments from replicating sequences of Amino Acids and there can never be nothing in the universe see the Casimir effect and Virtual Particles on wikipedia.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casimir_effect

2. 3. and 4. are all the same question

Justice and fairness are defined by an individual and collectively implemented by a society why do I want some one else to tell me what is just and fair? I have a moral standing based upon my knowledge and understanding of the world I strive to achieve this why do I need a preacher or a book in which God himself asked Israelites to kill all inhabitants (children included) of Jericho that to me is not justice and fairness.

5. I don't if he is not caught, therefore the society must work as hard as possible for peace, fairness and reconciliation.

6. Is my child happy? Yes! Then so be it, that is all I want for my children to be happy and not to cause harm on anyone. Why must everything be a fight between one religion and another?

7. Atrocities have happened throughout the ages - several Africans were enslaved, victimised, raped and murdered on their way to America and Europe to be put to work and discriminated against. Jews? world war II says hello! Native Americans were wiped out by Europeans etc..... My contention to you is if God stood by and watched all this he don't like non Europeans very much.

8. Look within yourself and as yourself what you want to be, explore, discover and seek knowledge.

9. Life is a journey not the destination, it is not on your dying bed when you appreciate your wife but in every waking moment spent together.

10. Where else are you going? Or does a Danfo come and pick you up for after party.

Does anyone know how much the Naija army pays officers?
