alexchiny:

And you would agree with me that she did well on that interview?

She did well in lying not basically answering the questions.What's the point of success on TV and failure in reality ?

Now You give me the "ANTONYM" of honest !

Lilimax: Does Nigerians expect Dr Ngozi to tell the whole world that all Nigerians are corrupt. If she does, the same set of people will be calling for her head.Naija is such a dramatic arena...

You guys should stop tripping.

Amanpour asked ONLY about Alams. And its effects on corruption not the whole of Nigerians.It was iweala in her bid to escape the question that brought the irrational stats !

alexchiny:

And how many did your past Yoruba government solve? face front abeg

How many times was Obj embarrassed by Amanpour ?

Billyonaire: Who buys the stolen oil from Illegal bunkerers ? Americans
Who provide ammunition in the black market to start little wars and militia ? Americans
Who lobbies for security contracts to quell these little wars ? Americans
Who 'manufactured' HIV as a depopulation tool ? Americans
Who produces ARV drugs to solve the HIV problems ? Americans
Who controls the condom market ? Americans
Who controls PC market ? Americans
Who controls OS market ? Americans
Who coded virus to destroy OS ? Americans?
Who manufactures Anti-Virus to quarantine virus ? Americans
Who stage terrorism for corrupt military budgeting and corruption ? Americans?
Who trained Osama Bin Laden ? Americans
Who killed Osama Bin Laden ? Americans
Who empowered Saddam Hussein ? Americans
Who engineered the killing of Hussein ? Americans
Who is responsible for terrorism in the World ? Americans
Who is most corrupt ? Americans

I love Americans, I wanna be like Americans, just invent a problem, and invent the solution and the entire world will depend on you.

Christiane Amanpour, please focus on Boston!

Are you high dude ? With all the problems in Nigeria,how many has your government found solutions to ?

a1solution: Before u approach a lady raise ur manhood up fly your shirt and use ur belt to hold it.

This is suicidal,please don't try it.

I watched similar stuff on 1000 ways to die.

Sincere 9gerian: One thing that gladdens my heart in the last few weeks is the DECIMATION of the haters on this forum. Even when the battle is yet to begin, the camp of the haters is already in TURMOIL.

Well, I congratulate the haters that decamped secretly to join the transformation train. Annihilation awaits the few recalcitrant haters.

If governance to you is about winning a few people while there are several millions of old and young people in the rural areas of Nigeria suffering from the evil policies of the central government,then I pray God should send Nigerians their messiah cuz the future is going to be tough for them.

ifihearam:

and what do you want her to say?

She herself knew the amnesty was a bad decision and that was why she couldn't say anything about it.

Mind you,billions of people watched that interview and, you and I expect those people to view Nigerians anywhere in the world without suspicions ? Its crazy honestly.

honeric01:

That was sarcasm @ play na.

Sarca what ? Its foolish and evil to think 99.9% are honest !

dozieo:

You want her to go on cable TV with world wide viewers and say that the president is a liar or what,even when obama makes mistakes which secretary comes to say it,don't they have spin doctors that controls the situation. my friend what would you do if you were in Ngozi's shoes?

When obama makes genuine mistakes not foolish ones like jonathans,his press secretary comes out to tell the American people what went wrong and not lying to them and if it's deemed otherwise,the congress summons somebody to take the blame for what might have happened.Hilary was summoned for the libya crisis,have you ever seen where a Nigeria minister is called to the Niational assembly to answer a query or defend the executive ?

harmless011: some of you guys that will never see anything good in nigeria sorry for una ohhhhhh, there have been significant improvement in power supply unless you are living under the bridge.
Power supply is the only area that i can score gej high for now, though there is still room for improvement we will surely get there.
God bless Nigeria.

Product of a failed educational system.instead of bitching here,why not tell us the capacity of electricity generated in Nigeria as at date ? What's the point in having electricity in Lagos,Abuja and port harcourt when the whole North is in darkness ? Has Nigeria passed the 4000mw myth ?

oneangle: How much did the federal Govt pay for the release of her mama? anyone with the figure? These people are not transparent at all.. They are all the same. I can't imagine what i will do to this woman if i find her on the street one on one?

That was even included in Amanpour's opening remarks;the kidnapping issue.how a whole federal minister's mother could be kidnapped.

The simple truth is that Amanpour did a good home work on Nigeria situation as evident from facts from the world bank to back her claims.All Iweala was talking about were invisible macroeconomic policies,GDP and growth while trying to avoid the reality on ground.

I like her comments about Nigerians' contributions especially on Nigerian issues to the Amanpour show.keep it up guys.

liberty300: I stay in enugu and I say, yes, power has improved. She is a patriotic nigerian and defends nigeria's and nigerian interest. She told no lie in that interview she granted. If she did, pls point it out..

Please tell me what her response was when Amanpour asked about the amnesty granted to Alams ? Light is improving yet Amanpour aired a live programme by jonathan during the easter holidays where there was power outage and iweala was just sitting there yarning rubbish ? I guess Amanpour got pissed about her lies and suddenly decide to cut her short to end her session.

I don't know why Nigerians are supporting a government that doesn't care about them.Its time you held your leaders accountable and insist they deliver !

Nigeria is too rich to be poor and too poor to be rich

I watched it live dude.

Ibo girls are sold like slaves by their hungry parents,so you can treat them like piece of shiit.

PStylish: Now it'll get worse.

GEJ please declare on time. Obama did!

Don't worry. . . . A day will come when "Animal farm" will be a preferable place to live than Nigeria.

well,y'all are use to the "suffering and smiling" treatment.

Propagandist machinery at work.

Abati is a disgrace to the Yoruba race.

dlox147: GO TO BED MAN..."PARDONS" ARE MEANT FOR PRIEST ABI?...

Are you high ? Someone stole over $55 million and you are begging he should be a free man ? I pity your unborn child !

taio luv: saw d interview with madam okonjo iweala wt amanpour on CNN,dat ma iweala is brillant very articulate,and beautiful,she answerd all questions correctly,am proud of her amanpour had no chance fire questn

Did you watch it on NTA ?

Ok please tell me what she said about Alams amnesty as against government will to fight corruption ?

She couldn't even defend Jonathan for granting Alams the amnesty.I guess she knew how fOoolish the amnesty was but couldn't tell her boss.

I like the intro on the light out in the church when jonathan was making his speech,the hit on Iweala's mother kidnapping and the davos video where jonathan lied.

Okupe and Abati should have coached iweala before granting the interview.

hardbody: On this, i do not know what to say. I am however certain that it never could have happened in a public University, not when i can even decide never to attend the lecture at all. And God punish the lecturer that will try anything funny, boyz will count his days for him, even the VC no fit dare...

Anyways, i tend to agree that when you choose a thing, you live with its repercussions.

Enough said.

These students have been tamed and subdued.it's a pity the regulating agencies in Nigeria are not checking the excesses of private universities but federal universities alone.

Private universities don't have rights to set their own regulations outside the NUC standards !

abbk000: It is called "A PRIVATE UNIVERSITY" for a reason... It is a private enterprise, therefore the owner reserves the right to use his rules as he deems fit. The Uni is a Christian school, so the students must know what they signed up for!!
No one should be complaining!!

I just wonder how mo-rons are allowed to post on NL.What the heck do you mean by a christain school ? Please define the concept for me.

sholasong: @ poster, Please check statement very well, You just killed those students with your grammar construction. No harm meant!.

Stop embarrassing yourself dude !

salaksmana: Fighting a man that doesn't even know you exist. Attacking religion with any slight opportunity. SMH

Knowledge is secular not religious !

No wonder all Nigerian private universities are never ranked among the best in Nigeria talkless of Africa or in the world.

Someone please tell the university authority that this is 21st century and they should stop behaving like the barbarians because the world has moved on.

Ejiné: The "Racism, Tribalism and Sectarianism" ghetto, so I can read the many diseased thoughts and AIDS-filled opinions of the psychopaths who inhabit the gangrene-infested scrotuum of Nairaland.

Reading their posts remind the average human that, "No matter how stupiid you may think you are, you will never be as dumb as these guys".

Dudu Negro is the landlord there.

All these just to prove you are a pot calling a kettle black ? nawao

Politics and anywhere I can kick some asss !

tomakint:
Ikenna, first thing first, congratulations on your promotion as a Mod may your time here bring the needed change to this esteemed site you are most welcome! Indeed, sanity needs to come back to the most visited section of Nairaland - Politics! My brother you have a lot to do here and if you can make good your 'terms' I will personally invite you for a banquet (no pun intended)! You have said all that is needed to be heard and personally to make it more formal, I would have loved it if you can make this post a 'front page material for all to see' so that you'll be justified when you start wielding the BIG STICK! Once again, congratulations

The ethnic paraposim begins !

dominique:

isnt it a bit too early to jum to that kind of conclusions?

Ask Afam and that Agana abo that moderates the crime section.we know their mission on NL !

Ikenna351: This morning, the Admin, Mr. Seun, increased my responsibility as a moderator in Nairaland. He made me a co-mod in Politics section. I took the job simply to team up with OAM4J & Afam4eva to fight this deadly virus eating up this Politics section. So, my priority here is to deal with the virus.

Its too shameful what some of the adults here are teaching our children. An innocent kid registers in Nairaland, the first thing he or she is taught is to hate his neighour, schoolmates, classmates or even best friends, simply because they are from different tribes. You maynot be directly teaching them how to hate an innocent fellow human being at home or in school, but you are directly doing that here.

Ojukwu made mistake in the past, what about it? Awolowo did the same, what about it? My father must have made some mistakes in the past and so what? I have made some mistakes in the past that am not proud of and so wetin come happen? An waht about you blaming another tribe or prominent figure for an alleged mistake(s), are you saying you have never done something in the past that you always regret whenever you remember them? Show me, who is that perfect man? Cant we let the past be and see what the future have for us?

The Rwanda Genocide didnt just happen. It started like what we are doing here. Creating & Promoting hatred. Sudan is not left out. We may call it e-tribal fight, but dont understimate what it does in our minds, which translate one way or another in our personal lives offline.

Ojukwu is Ojukwu. Type anything other than that and i will ban you. Awolowo is Awolowo, anything short of that warrants ban from me. Achebe is Achebe. Type anything else, then we shall see. Am not a baby, i know a typo when i see one. I have taken my time to study and see some people deliberate address such people with offensive names. If you can spell your name correctly, then you have no reason not to spell Ojukwu, Achebe or Awolowo correctly.

Unfortunately, some of the Igbos were raised outside the Eastern part of the country. They are the ones that would argue that Ibo is the called pronounciation and spelling, rather than Igbo. Well, i wont blame them. Few of our fathers who had their formal education during colonial era wrongly still write as they were taught by the whiteman. Some are still victims of mental colonization. Ibo maynot be an issue outside Nairaland, but it has become one in Nairaland, deliberately used to instigate tribal war in Politics section. For the sake of peace, use your Ibo outside Politics section. Likewise, dont address anyother tribe with an offensive name, claiming you read it in a book or you found it on google.

If you an Igbo and think I wont ban you because am an Igbo too when you call a Yoruba "Yoruba", i will first ban you even if the yoruba fellow first insulted you. Prefential treatment is not in my dictionary. And note that the duration of my ban is usually 7 days.

I have not hidden any post yet or ban anyone, but as soon as this this posted. I have not become anyone's enemy yet. I maynot have time for other offences, but not for tribalism. Wont spare anyone, even if you are a friend. If you dont like my style of mod, you better start your petition to the admin to remove me before i fully start. Because, i wont spare any tribalist here who refuses to change.

Depending on the degree of the insult against another tribe, i may hide the post, ban the username or both.

Ikenna.

Well show yourself as you like but don't talk nonsense about Awolowo.Who is a baby here that you are blabbing at ?

OK_2_NV: Yorubas are now as useless as Fulani herds men thanks to your general ingratitude, xenophobia and myopia.

Keep voting ediots like this into your banana states

Who gives a fu'c'k about your id'I'otic opinion if I may ask mor'o'n ?
