Meanwhile amoto and reccy don hold Labor Party hostage for Kogi

https://www.nairaland.com/7482477/labour-party-queries-kogi-state

The national secretariat of the Labour Party queried the Kogi State chapter of the party over the poor outing that greeted the Presidential campaign rally in Kogi state.

* It was gathered that most of the attendees, mobilized from neighboring Enugu State to Lokoja for the rally, invaded the Ganaja Road secretariat of the party and held party officials captive for several hours asking for their mobilisation payment.

Anybody who understands the history of Nigeria would know that the country was designed like this since before independence.

All this one you dey talk no concern me, my point is saying someone said NO to free money simply because they felt they'd stolen enough is a naive take.

Roland17:


Debates and advocacy are great, the problem is, the North still has the highest representation in both houses, with over 90% of the representatives from the North being Muslims with strong conservative ideologies. Don't forget, many of the representatives from the South are also Muslims who also hold strong conservative ideologies

That means, it is nearly impossible to have any change(s) to these laws because members of the both houses irrespective of party affiliation will not support any changes that affects their religious beliefs on a personal level and more importantly the support they get from their base.

You are not going to get any kind of bi-partisan support from North on any of these changes, consequently, it is dead on arrival.

I truly cannot understand the guy's obsession with Otem.

People who say that word are very clearly catching cruise. Fun cruise sef seeing many of the contexts in which it is used "hey, Messi don score, otem be praised".
Rather than just smile like everyone else he begins to defend the point.
Aoo1, you really need to chill about this Otem matter, when many people use that word, they're not even thinking about you. Stop being soo defensive about it.

Itsrm:


I must have confused you for someone else.

Lessons will surely be learnt.

Look at this tweet, this is what wins elections

A001:
Some countries that practice Sharia: Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Iran, Pakistan, Brunei, and Malaysia.

What do they all have in common: They're Arab nations that speak Arabic language as their lingua franca.

Yet, we're to take the opinion of one nonentity on Nl that doesn't understand Arabic and is just a nominal Muslim seriously.

What a joke!

OasisX:




You're really overrated, coz obviously you ain't well informed. Read again your post and tell us you're still correct with nonsense you put up there.

Iranians are Persians not Arab. Malaysians.... Arab? LOL

Otem has done more damage to your brain than you could even imagine.

This is one of my main issue with religion. When laws are made from a religion it closes all avenues for debate.

If a law is made from other forms with no regard to religion then it can be debated and changed to fit in with new information and time.
Laws that are however created due to religion gives absolutely no chance for debates at all as adherents of such religion who were the ones that made the law come to pass believes the law is written in stone and it's true no matter the time. Attempts to debate on such laws would be met by violence or threats of violence and destruction.

A civilised society should try as much as possible to get rid of anything that connects their laws with any religion

1. I don't think what Deborah did qualifies as blasphemy

2. I don't support killing on the basis of blasphemy because of many reasons which I can write a page about.
i) Religion when you look at it carefully is silly and doesn't make sense to anyone who thinks of it critically (That includes the religion you and I follow -excluding Otemology though)
ii) Most religions are propagated by disrespecting other religions so if we want to do killing for blasphemy, everyone will end up dead.
iii) Blasphemy laws are usually subjctive to the interpreter. You can hear one thing that sounds blaphemous and I will her the same thing and be okay with it (E.g Tinubu calling Allah our father)
iv) Human beings create religion and move the goalpost when they want. So what wasnt blaphemous today can become tomorrow

3. All these opinions of mine become Bullsheet the moment I enter a location that has blasphemy laws. While I can say this openly here Nairaland. I dare not try it on Saudi Riyaland or Syrialand and definitely not on the street of Kano or Sokoto

Just like donJ,everybody don Sabi where to hook you for neck and trigger you especially the fact you no fit overlook and take am as cruise

A001:

Ode. Posting about an already concluded issue. Keep going through all my posts and nitpick as you please.

It's what hopeless, low IQ time-wasters do.

nihilistjnr:

Otemise, every other day we Otemise....

iamoyindamola:
This otem worshiper is just dull and stupid
Ebukacute no be you I they talk

A001:

All your points are reasonable except the Otemology part, which is a word you just coined.

What the hell is that? Are you the one to build a religion around a nairalander that neither him nor his fans are unaware of?

All what the Otem guy advocates is use of the brain (reason) and shunning religion. That's all.

Care to educate us about what Otemology is and what your reference is? I came across that term for the first time.

Kindly back your post about Otemology with proofs from Otem's posts so I can know you're being factual, not trolling like those m.orons: iamoyindamola, Ebukacute, and OasisX.

iamoyindamola:

He can never be comfortable because otem once came in human form to embarrass the fool in Chelsea thread
Ibi.me exposed him and otem son of atum that day
That's why he doesn't want otem to come again and see several mentions

Ebukacute:

Son of otem... Do your worst.

A001:

Lols, I didn't even bother to read your post. Keep crying about the guy . You'll be ignored henceforth.

A001:

Grandson of Otem. Today is Otem's day. Keep it coming.

Donjazet2:


My bro, if you let yourself get worked up everytime someone says otem, you'll be setting yourself up for unnecessary quagmire..
Just my friendly advise.

A001:

Grandson of Otem. Today is Otem's day. Keep it coming.

Ebukacute:

Alleluia!!!.... My brother in otem
