Politics / Re: Arik Presents Ipad3 to Omojuwa, Elrufai's Mouth Piece And Chief Hacker(pix) by revomind(m): 7:29am On Oct 03, 2012 |
Ogugua makes some good points. I think this issue is trivial though and he only used what he's got to fight his cause. Its novel to some of us because we are used to being treated badly and retreating to sulk in one corner. Could he have conducted himself better? Of course he could. His arrogance and poor choice of words leave much to be desired but again, big nigerian companies are used to riding roughshod on the poor Nigerian customer so I can't hate on this. Kudos to him for getting his iPad back. Is he responsible for the hacking? I'm afraid I can't comment on speculation. |

onila: LOL, wasn't she,like her predecessors, running around with the title 'First Lady'? They can't eat their cake and have it. If the President's wife is behind the scenes with no aides appointed and paid for by the Government, then we would all be too nosy trying to know about her health. We have a right to know I'm afraid... |

afam4eva: I don't understand why people want to eat their cake and still have it. How does a region that's governed by the ACN still want to be dominant in a PDP federal government. It doesn't work that way my friend. Knew you'd be here... Chief Akinjide is a PDP man not an ACN man. When ACN figures start making fraudulent accusations like this, you can take the 'people' up on wanting 'to eat their cake and still have it'. |

Abagworo: If she's sick and so what? This sahara reporters is wicked and making mockery of a sick person. I say to the owner or editor of sahara reporters "may what you make ridicule of others befall you a dozen folds". They made mockery of Yar'Aduas sickness and death and now they are doing same to our 1st lady. Wicked and unpatriotic people looking for cheap popularity. Guv' calm down. The media speculation is down to the refusal of the Presidency to tell the truth as to her real condition. I don't see any mockery in the report, perhaps, you're a little too sensitive. 7 Likes |

Pastor Kun: What's the EFCC trying to achieve here? That section 38(1) of the Efcc establishment act surely doesn't give any basis to gain information from the accused's counsel! That evidence is surely not admissible as long as there are correspondences between the accused and his counsel there. |
Foreign Affairs / Re: Israel Will Be "Eliminated" - Ahmadinejad by revomind(m): 8:43am On Sep 27, 2012 |
Godman_n: I was born and named a catholic. I was made to believe the bible and that God loved the Jews. You seem well-informed but a bit extreme in your future plans to burn the bible publicly lol. If you don't believe, just ignore. Jews are masters of propaganda but at the same time some facts are out there in the open but lots of brainwashed people (especially Nigerian christians) do not care to learn and reason objectively. Its tragic that in a topic of world politics such as this, the only reference some posters have is the Bible. I am a christian myself but I believe common sense should prevail. The way christians believe the Bible to be the ultimate source of truth is the way Muslims see the Koran too. A part of Uganda was indeed considered as a place of settlement for the Jews following the hard times they had faced in Europe. Argentina was also considered but alas, they chose Palestine which was under British control. Britain gave Palestinian land to Israel and were the architects of the conflict. Its another thing entirely how the USA became its chief ally and protector. Most of these Jews look more European than middle-eastern and the reason is simple. Many of them are actually descendants of fanatic Europeans who became followers of Judaism. Most prominent Jews lie about their origins. Nothing new. If Iran gets attacked by Israel, it will only delay the nuclear weapons it is suspected of building by a few years and by that time Iran would have the perfect excuse to dis-engage form the nuclear non-proliferation body basically having the freedom to build their nuclear weapons without any interference. Its straightforward really, under international law you can only attack another country under the pretext of reprisal or with the Security Council's authorisation. What is being contested now is if a country (Israel) can attack another (Iran) under the pretext of forestalling a future harm by the country that is to be attacked (Iran). However, if and when that happens, Iran would have the perfect excuse to go haywire with their nuclear aspirations. An attack will also unite Iranians politically especially if there are civilian casualties. Again, the main site of their nuclear experiments cannot be attacked because of radiation fears. For the US, its always better to have UN backing before going into war-mode. The benefits of the first Gulf War which was UN backed cannot be compared to the disaster in the second invasion. Even though there is confidence that the oil artery, strait of horutz, can be reopened if Iran blocks it as a strategic move, it will involve a naval war between the USA and Iran. Israel are stronger militarily than Iran on the whole. Iran can hurt them no doubt but not as much as Israel can. The danger of course is that Iran has allies like the Hezbolla and Hamas near the state of Israel and will most likely fight a proxy war. This will blow up the whole region. For me, Mr Netanyahu needs to calm down. Diplomacy should be exhausted. Iranians are disillusioned with their government as the wounds of that crackdown on dissent in 2009 are still fresh. The only thing there is a consensus about is their right to nuclear energy. A military attack removes the possibility of a calmer government taking over and increases the possibility of a dangerous war. 1 Like |

I hate to be the party pooper but most of these meals are packed with calories, except the beans and plaintain and a few of the soups there is not much I will have here, plenty oil, too much meat, especially beef, we think we are enjoying but the fat and calories park up every where, we finish munching 10 meat, plus ponmo and then start strolling and tell ourselves we are "working out", then guzzle it down with juice and beer. We need to start eating healthy and delicious meals, especially women, that stomach, those tighs, na this one dey cause am, if you cant burn it then dont eat it as my friend will say. We make a cup of tea, fill it with sugar, plenty milk and milo then we feel we are enjoying.┌П┐(•͡˘˛˘ •͡)┌П┐ |

Politics / Re: Fela Talks On Mko Abiola by revomind(m): 2:08pm On Sep 13, 2012 |
occam: Speak for yourself bro. The idea then was for the military to go back to the barracks and the man had just won a free and fair election in all parts of the country: north, south, east, west. Thats the summary of the clamour. The man was a symbol for a just cause. Asides all of that, Yoruba people knew Abiola's antecedents and its a gross exaggeration that he was seen as a messiah. After all, he was very comfy with the military elite to the extent there were insinuations he was sponsoring coups. Perhaps you're also too young to know that he was an NPN financier and NPN was an unpopular party in the old West. |

ndu_chucks: May I also inform some of the people who are opposed to grazing reserves, that the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Water Resources, Nigeria has already officially demarcated 4125 grazing reserves or routes. Out of this number, only one third is put in use, whereas 270 grazing reserves have been put into cultivation. Co-incidence that this happened under Yar'Adua (a fulani man)? Or am I missing something? |

Politics / Re: Fulani Herdsmen Demand Land Rights In 36 States by revomind(m): 4:59pm On Sep 09, 2012 |
AjanleKoko: Good. The question is which arm of government? Clearly, its the State Govts. The fulani herdsmen have directed their demand to the Federal Govt because in this situation, you can only deal with one state at a time. Again, I don't imagine that the herdsmen will need urban areas for grazing. Ordinarily, they should prefer non-urban lands which are in the hands of local governments. Also do not forget that there are still large swathes of land in Southern Nigeria that are governed by native/communal law. As far as the land use act is concerned, this demand is unrealistic. If you as a herdsman need land in Oyo and you do not want to pay for it like others do for their businesses, then you will have to press for this at the state level. Lobby for legislation perhaps... The only scenario I can imagine apart from this is that the federal govt creates a new law that will no doubt be at odds with the land use act. We are no longer in the military era and honestly, I doubt if the herdsmen will get any success from this approach. For me, I'd say the fulani groups should get to the state level. They should seek to partner with any interested state on this matter and work out some mechanism for large-scale husbandry. This could help the IGR of that state and in the end everyone wins. Maybe, they will become hot cake from there on with states falling over themselves just to bring them in. If no state govt is interested, then too bad, they have to follow the normal procedures of doing business . Simple. Their current approach is one of the many things that put me off in national issues. This is a federal state for God's sake. My hope is the government pays them no mind as this is the kind of stuff that creates problems. Its not being tribalistic, its being realistic and most importantly being fair and objective in reasoning. The fulani herdsmen must adapt or we help them to. Only that we find a system agreeable for everyone. 4 Likes |
