I am not blaming the British.I am blaming Nigerians for not understanding that we are not compatible and we either keep playing these games or go back to the foundation and decide how we want to live.If you dnnt understand your history you will never get things right.

But in typical ignorant fashion you have dismissed my argument as nonsense,Well the senseless slaughter will continue.GOOD LUCK

How am I talking Nonsense.explain Please.I said there should be a separation of the country since it is not working.So explain how what I am saying is nonsense

The way, the country voted is the way it should split.The Muslims in the South are more oriented towards progressive thinking.
Fact is
NIGERIA is the only COUNTRY in the world with 50% Muslim and %50% Christians.It can never work.THE FACTS ARE THERE FOR YOU IF YOU WILL EDUCATE YOURSELF AND UNITE.

You cant put two people with totally different ideologies.Right now the northern/muslim ideology is totally different from the rest of the country.HOW CAN A COUNTRY BE GOING IN TWO DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS.
They even believe education is sin; when we haven't even repaired the collapsed educational system we have now.

We have been fooling ourselves with this rhetoric for years.
FASTFORWARD TO THREE YEARS TIME AND THIS THING WILL REPEAT ITSELF

WAKE UP UP AND unite,The BRITISH created this monster so that we will never unite and achieve anything.
THEY tried this same trick with India and Pakistan. But Indians were smart and refused to join.
LOOK at where INDIA is TODAY.

South/Christians- Wake up.Nigeria was made to fail and will not work. Wake up

Christians are FOOLS and Cowards.The only reason Northerners treat you like this is because you allow them to.They cant do this to America because they know how America wont hesitate to drill them.

Christians wake-up .Nigeria will never work.I repeat Never work.Muslims will continue to kill you and look for excuses to cover their hatred for.A few good Muslims will not change anything and Never will.

STAND UP AND FIGHT FOR BREAKING NIGERIA.OR YOU WILL NEVER KNOW PEACE AND PROGRESS

Christians are FOOLs and Cowards.The only reason Northerners treat you like this is because you allow them to.They cant do this to America becuase they know how America wont hesitate to drill them.

Christians wake-up .Nigeria will never work.I repeat Never work.Muslims will continue to kill you and look for excuses to cover thier haterd for.A few good muslims will not change anything and Never will.

STAND UP AND FIGHT FOR BREAKING NIGERIA.OR YOU WILL NEVER KNOW PEACE AND PROGRESS

This psot is designed by sum muslim/northerner to make appease Christians because we are to sympathetic.

every year they say the same thing and the slaughter still continues are christians /southerners this gullible.

TALK IS CHEAP.ITS NOT WHAT YOU SAY ITS WHAT YOU DO.


Stop being weak and stupid.They will continue this slaughter no matter what they say.

START FIGHTING FOR THE DISSOLUTION OF NIGERIA NOW.ARM YOURSELVES

GENERAL MAO SAID' POWER IS OBTAINED THROUGH THE BARREL OF THE GUN


YOU CAN CALL GOD ALL YOU WANT BUT IF YOU DONT OPEN YOUR EYES AND FIGHT THIS MADNESS WILL CONTINUE

Bullshit, They have been killing Christians for years since 19666.isn't 50 years enough to tell you that this country is not working.
And why shoudnt we protest are Christians the provocateurs.
Nigeria cannot work with hausa/Fulanni.
Stop deceiving yourself and work for the splitting of Nigeria.
Why do you think Terrorist are Hiding,because they know what America is capable of doing.
Why are muslims/Huasa Fulani dong what they are dong because they know you are too chicken to unite and fightback.
You control the wealth,manpower and educational edge and you are still acting like fools.
The Goodluck Presidency is going to be filled with violence.Watch and see.

FIGHT FOR SPLITTING OF NIGERIA ONCE AND FOR ALL.YOUR CHILDREN DESERVE PEACE

And Stop praising one man as if he is Representative of the Muslim Community.Are you easily fooled

Honestly Speaking Christians/Southerners are becoming real cowards and fools in this Country.
They are killing you in your own Country and you are still talking of God.
Even the State of Israel does n not call God Like Nigerians.
When will you realize that people will only treat you the way you allow them too.

Lets face it Nigeria cannot work,you cant have a country going in two different directions.Are we this Naive.

The only way you get freedom is to fight for it.That is why Americans like Guns because you cant mess with them.

Stand up ,arm yourself and fight for yourselves and stop being petty.

Nigerians should wake up and stop celebrating CHEAP Non existent victories.Please why are we so naive and easily fooled.Just because someone is given a Titular position in the World Bank is not a cause to celebrate.Can Someone Tell me what we have won, WE HAVE NOT WON ANYTHING.

NIGERIANS HAVE SHOWN THAT THEY HAVE NOT LEARN T ANYTHING AFTER IBB SOLD your COLLECTIVE FUTURE TO THE US UNDER THE GUISE OF IMF LOANS.- TRUTH BE TOLD  ALL THESE GLOBAL FINANCIAL ORGANIZATIONS WORLD BANK, IMF ARE JUST SCHEMES SET UP BY THE WEST TO ENSLAVE DEVELOPING COUNTRIES WITH RESOURCES-THATS THE GOSPEL TRUTH.

IBB THAT WE WORSIP,WAS JUST A STOOGE FOR THE US,THEY FUNDED HIS COUP, SUPPORTED HIS REEGAN LIKE TRICKLE DOWN ECONOMICS AND THAT IS WHY IBB EASILY TOOK THEIR LOANS AND WAS NOT EVEN CRITICIZED BY THE US DESPITE ALL THE HUMAN VIOLATIONS HE COMMITTED.DO NIGERIANS EVEN BOTHER TO ASK WHY US NEVER MENTIONS IBB BUT ALWAYS BLAMES ABACHA FOR ALL OUR EVILS. ARE WE  SO NAIVE TO THINK THAT THE WEST HAVE OUR INTEREST AT HEART. THIS IS A GAME THAT THEY HAVE DESIGNED AND WE STUPIDLY FOLLOW BECAUSE OF CHEAP VICTORIES AND MEANINGLESS TITLES.

THERE IS NO DEVELOPING COUNTRY TODAY THAT IS ACHIEVING SUCCESS TODAY THAT RELIED ON WORLD BANK LOANS AND IMF, CHECK INDIA,BRAZIL,HONG KONG ETC.ALL THESE COUNTRIES ACHIEVED SUCCESS BY INVESTING IN  EDUCATION AND DEVELOPING THE INFRASTRUCTURE OF THEIR SOCIETIES.

NIGERIA HAS NO NEED FOR A LOAN WE HAVE ALL THE WEALTH WE NEED , ALL WE NEED IS THE COMMITMENT, PATIENCE AND DEDICATION TO ACHIEVE OUR GOALS.

JONATHAN IS STILL A PRODUCT OF THE SAME SYSTEM THAT ENSLAVES US (PDP) TODAY,HE IS PART OF THE SAME ILLEGITIMATE GOVERMENT  AS THE YARADUA HE SUCCEEDED.JUST BECAUSE HE SUCCEEDED A SICK PRESIDENT THAT WAS NOT ELECTED, DOES THAT NOW MAKE HIM LEGITIMATE?

WHY DO NIGERIANS LIKE TAKING SHORT CUTS INSTEAD OF FIGHTING FOR REAL VICTORY WHICH IS TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE CREDIBLE ELECTIONS AND VOTE OUR CHOICE THOSE THAT TRULY REPRESENT OUR ASPIRATIONS. NOW JONATHAN IS PLAYING BALL WITH THE US AND SELLING OUR COLLECTIVE FUTURE AND WE A RE CELEBRATING MEANINGLESS VICTORIES.DOES ANYONE THINK THE WEST CARES ABOUT OUR PROGRESS,THEY WILL DO ANYTHING TO ENSLAVE US BECAUSE THAT WHAT KEEPS THEM ON TOP AND WE ARE CELEBRATING.CELEBRATING OUR OWN DOOM.
T[b]THE WEST KNOWS THAT WE ARE EASILY SENTIMENTAL TO TRIBAL LOYALTIES AND PETTINESS AND MANY PEOPLE WILL JUST SUPPORT JONATHAN JUST BECAUSE HE IS FROM NIGER DELTA OR SOUTH, AS A RESULT WE LOOSE COLLECTIVELY, WE LOOSE WHERE IT MATTERS MOST.[/b].


NIGERIANS PLEASE WAKE UP, PUT BEHIND SHORT TERM VICTORIES ,PETTY TRIBAL SENTIMENTS AND LOOK AT THE BIG PICTURE, LET US LEARN FROM OUR MISTAKES AND STOP SETTLING FOR LESS.WE ARE SELLING OUR FUTURE FOR NOTHING.

@ tensor777, people like you are exactly what has gone wrong with this country, if the Government cannot provide basic amenities that countries with far less resources have been able to provide since the 1970's and people still defend such an evil system, then it is easy to see why our country is gradually dilapidated.
Your Post lack logic and is full of the senseless Vitriol that has kept Nigerians in their Prisoner mentality that was created by Military Rule,
Let Me ask You, could you please tell me what the responsibility of the Government is given that they control all the resources of the Country,Please just tell me what their responsibility is.
- What does the Nigerian Constitution have to do with the inability to provide Health care,
-even the most Capitalist Country in the World is America is making serious efforts to cover 98% of its citizens so your Socialist Argument does not hold water.

None of your post lacks any Logic and sense just the same empty insults designed to terrorize Nigerians to submission to an obviously failed System and this is a clear insult to the Intelligence of Nigerians as a whole.
@ Nigerians we all have a duty to question and rise up to our Government and hold them accountable because the are elected Public Servants and not Monarchs.If they feel they are not to be held responsible then they should relinquish their offices.

I do not agree that Laziness is The chief Problem of Nigeria ,it is just a part of it.

-The biggest problem of Nigeria is Insincerity or fraud if you want to call it.Our Country was built on Fraud, Our country''s foundation is a lie.

-As a result the leaders that we have today are insincere and liars, they are all fraudulent as the system that produced them.

-Our people have become insincere and lies have become a way of life, we see the wrong thing as the right thing and our value system promotes insincerity in all levels.

-Nigerians have turned to religion because they as Psychologically defeated and ignorant.they have turn to religion to put the blame of our collective failure on God.

- Our Religious leaders and i mean about 90% of our so called religious elders are frauds and con artists, they have no conscience and would turn away as long as their means of making money is not touched.They have seen our desperation and have turned to exploit it and now we are slaves to them.

- True religion is only governs a Mans personal relation with God and his fellow man .It is never to be a method of running a society which we have turned it into. religion serves to give Wisdom which is a means of control.Knowledge and Education is what Empowers a man.

-Nigerians are are lazy Mentally because they don't want to deal with the reality that change and our success will only come if we FIGHT FOR IT AND STOP BEING INSINCERE AND OPEN OURSELVES TO KNOWLEDGE- knowledge of all forms, scientific, social and economical.

Nigeria will forever be a joke in all aspects of life.

@ROLLIKS9 AND ROSSIKE BEFORE YOU RESORT TO CLAIMS OF CONSPIRACY,PLS WHAT ARE THE FACTS ON GROUND.

MY FATHER ALMOST LOST HIS LIFE IN THE BOKO HARAM CRISIS, WAS THAT ORCHESTRATED BY THE US TOO.EVEN A BLIND MAN IN NIGERIA KNOWS THAT THE NORTH IS A POTENTIAL BREEDING GROUND FOR TERRORISTS AND THOSE ARE FACTS, NOT THEORIES.
DONT TRY TO RATIONALIZE,JUSTIFY OR EXCUSE THE ACTIONS OF NORTHERN LEADERS THAT HAVE DELIBERATELY CREATED AN ENVIRONMENT THAT FOSTERS EXTREMISM.
THIS COUNTRY IS ON THE PATH TO DESTRUCTION, THATS CERTAIN, AND WE ONLY HAVE OURSELVES TO BLAME.

PAROH-FREY,YOU CANNOT EXPRESS YOURSELF INTELLIGIBLY RESORTING TO INSULTS-THATS THE FIRST SIGN OF A WEAK MIND .
SECONDLY-YOU CANNOT EVEN POINT OUT WHICH PART OF MY ARGUMENTS IS MEANINGLESS AND CORRECT THEM WITH ARGUMENTS OF YOUR OWN WITH FACTS AND LOGIC.
YOU ARE THE EPITOMY OF WHAT HAS GONE WRONG IN NIGERIA

@Roliks09-MY FATHER ALMOST LOST HIS LIFE IN MAIDUGURI IN THE BOKO-HARAM CRISIS DUE TO NO FAULT OF HIS OWN AND HE IS FROM THE MIDDLE BELT (NOT SOUTH), WAS THAT ALSO A CREATION OF THE WESTERN MEDIA.
CAN YOU TELL ME OF AN INSTANCE WHEN PEOPLE IN THE MIDDLE BELT OR SOUTH HAVE EVER ATTACKED A MUSLIM REGARDLESS OF THE ISSUE

TOMMOROW YOU WILL WANT TO SAY THAT I AM YOUR BROTHER, WHAT KIND OF BROTHER DOES THAT TO HIS FELLOW CITIZEN.IT IS A KNOWN FACT THAT PEOPLE IN THE NORTH HATE THE SOUHERTNERS WITH A PASSION AND ARE LOOKING FOR THE SLIGHTEST OPPURTUNITY TO KILL THEM.

I USED TO BELIEVE IN A ONE NAIGERIA,NOT ANYMORE THE COUNTRY HAS COMPLETELY FAILED, THE FINAL COLLAPSE ITS ON ITS WAY.

PLS SPEND YOUR TIME PREACHING TO YOUR NORTHERN BROTHERS.

ITS OBVIOUS THAT NIGERIA CANNOT WORK AGAIN.

The poster is one of those ones that are living in denial and does not wasnt to accept that more and more people are getting dissilusioned with Nigeria.
  Even Before this incident Nigeria was really nothing to be proud of.
Wake up, dont expect people to be proud of a Country that does not care for them.@Paroh-would you love your Father if  he does not provide for when he clearly can.  NOW I BELIEVE THAT THE COUNTRY IS HEADING FOR COLLAPSE.

Well Real Madrid are currently leading Olympique Marseille by 3 goals.
Hala Madrid

Real madrid is still leading Villareal by 2 goals.and still going for goal.This Real Madrid team is looking deadly Christiano is really proving his worth .This team is gonna rock the Champions league.
Critics watch out. Hala Madrid

@ poster Take security issues very seriously and don't listen to those that cant accept the truth you are the only one with the most to loose.

If anything happens to you i bet you that most people here would not even bother to commiserate with you talk more of helping.
Better Play it safe than have regrets .

Why must people invoke tribalism anytime some inconvenient truth is told about them.

Let's tell ourselves the truth, i've been to the East and Niger Delta, the level of crime there is Egregious and i think its something any sincere person of Igbo descent would agree, some people just don't want to take responsibility of their actions but take the easier option of playing the tribal card because they still harbor feelings of revenge.

On the whole Nigeria is not safe again save Abuja largely because of the presence of the Fg.
The North is not safe- Boko Haram and Religious extremists.
The Niger Delta is not safe.
The East is not safe.
Lagos is not safe.
Our country is tottering on the brink of collapse.

[b]Real Madrid have been named as the best club of the 20th century after an exhaustive study by the International Federation of Football History and Statistics (IFFHS).

The Spanish giants finished out in front of Juventus, who were second, while Barcelona, Milan and Bayern Munich completed the top five in the historic record books.

In recent seasons the IFFHS have judged clubs in order of merit, but have only done so in the Club World Ranking that began in 1991.

Demand was high for a ranking based on titles won, placings in competitions and other factors over the entire 20th century, and now the IFFHS have explained how they reached their conclusion.

"For some years now, the IFFHS has been asked by clubs, sports journalists and fans to determine the clubs of the century for the individual continents but on a realistic basis without imaginary values and subjective influences," the statement on the IFFHS website explains.

"The rankings published so far have been based on the number of titles won or placings or marathon tables in competitions.

"Because the Club World Ranking (by IFFHS) has been determined monthly only since January 1991, it cannot be used as the basis for determining the club of the century.

"The IFFHS has decided these continental clubs of the century and with it continental rankings of century to determine exclusively on the base of individual match results of the continental club competitions.

"The national competitions are merely a prerequisite to qualify for the continental club competitions. Intercontinental club competitions were not taken into consideration."

A point system saw clubs rewarded for their performances in the Champions League, UEFA Cup, European Cup Winners' Cup, Mitropa Cup, Copa Latina and the European Super Cup.

Below are the top ten clubs of the 20th century:

Points   Club
563.50  Real Madrid
466.00  Juventus
458.00  FC Barcelona
399.75  AC Milan
399.00  Bayern Munich
362.00  Inter
332.75  Ajax
300.25  Liverpool
299.00  Benfica
231.00  Anderlecht

So where are those United fans that say they are the best.

He was the only hero that i had in Nigeria,the only man that stood up against injustice when millions of us chose to be silent, If Nigerrians could take a cue from this man,maybe we would not have the kind of society we have today.

EVIL PROSPERS NOT BECAUSE OF  THE EVILDOERS BUT FROM THE SILENCE AND INDIFFERENCE OF GOOD MEN,
Chief Gani fahwehmi, GANI ,GANI, GANI, you were a GOOD man,u are a really GOOD Man because you stood up for the truth when most Nigerians chose to keep quiet.
YOU are truly greater than all our Lying, thieving Criminal Politicians, Unfortunately Most  Nigerians never Valued you but rather prefer the Criminals in office that we have today and we are collectively paying the price today.
 
I am not mourning your death, I am celebrating your  Life, you will be With us forever.

Thank YOU MR Fawehwenmi, I thank you and i will never forget what you did for your Country.



RIP MR FREEDOM FIGHTER

The average Northern leader is completely socially irresponsible and does not care about the masses as long as they give them blind followership and they remain in power. People like President Yaradua, the Northern Governors and Arewa ACF are completely to blame for the gross poverty and illiteracy that allows this mental sreligious sickness to take root.

THE ONLY SOLUTION FOR NIGERIA IS A SOVEREIGN NATIONAL CONFERENCE- we need do redefine our co existence with each other and start again, every attempt made by any leader will just be one in futility.

I dont know whether Northerners are civilized or not,but what i do know is that the attitude and mentality of the average northerner and their leaders is really taking this country backwards, infact the country may disintegrate and collapse the way the Yar'Adua's govt is going.
I say this as someone that is geograhically from the north ( Benue).
People like Generalzango and Mai suya, instead of admitting that the North has a problem which is obvoius by now, you spend more time defending them and even suggesting ridiculous ideas that the Millitary should return.

same for you james2man, you go get am. All the best and be confident.Cheers

@Towosiwemi, Dont worry your time has come , you go make am ,just be confident. Cheers

Guys, I'm in celebration mode, I JUST GOT MY US STUDENT VISA TODAY, and am very grateful to all the guys that have contributed on this forum.
The Interview was brief , way shorter than i expected, the Interviewing Officer after going through my I-20 and Sevis fee reciept just asked me about my job experience and its relation to my field and if i plan to return and that was that.
No Bank Statements or any other documents were required.
I want to thank everone especially Rachiwise, Gongo Aso, Prince84, wanville and UcheM.
And i wish you guys all the best . Remember be confident and let your replies be curt.

It depends on your definition of leadership, if you define LEADERSHIP as the ability to perpertrate babarity, behave like zombies, Fraud, Insubordination(Coup de Tat), bastardize the whole system, promote massive corruption , subvert the aspirations of the people , destroy the Educational system and bring the country to the brink , then NIGERIAN MILLITARY leaders are the best.
But what proponents of this stupid and i mean stupid idealogy fail to understand is that Nigeria has made more pogress in 10 years of civilain rule than in 30 years of Military rule.
They also perhaps forget that some of the best leaders in History were never in the Millitary, Examples are Moses(Bible), Martin Luther King, Mahatma Ghandi, Abraham Lincoln, Ronald Reegan, Nelson Mandela, Bill Clinton and yes Barack Obama.
Pls end this stupid debate with fallacious reasoning.how can you use a leader that was not the mandate of the people to judge leadership.

I suspect that LITMUS is another puppet for NIGERIA"S brain dead and inept leaders, all his claims and reasoning are just preposterous akin to those of our leaders. You dont need a rocket scientsit to show you that Nigeria is a failed state and some times i wonder why the country even recieves international recognition.
All our leaders including our parents ( at least most of them) are only interested in people being submissive to them even when there is no plausible reason to do so.
