One man ( 'don't know his name )amongst them at the senate said something which everyone there found quite amusing He stated that people who hangs on to everlasting TERMS are most at the graveyard e.g + ABACHA !

Actually, what he said was that the graveyard is full of indispensable people - people who are indispensable to their countries. Like Hitler, Stalin, and even Abacha!

lol
this country is a joke

this country called Nigeria is messed up

pLease they better hold off on this madness till am done visiting Nigeria next month,,,,,I feel really sorry for guys that are stuck with this situation

As we all cant run for ever you know and you dont have to feel sorry for nobody cus your statement would only add more to the injury

In short, AIT wasnt closed afterall. I guess this is the handiwork of ATTA - Anti Third term Agenda. It couldnt be at all, I thought as much. Even when they tried it during the Bellview air crash, OBJ admonish the NBC for such abuse of office.

where are we going in this country
am sick and tired of this obasanjo administration
everything is just like the the days of the military.

This is not the work of any anti third term anything. Those pro TTA must have tried/threatened to close AIT down and it has backfired. There is no smoke without fire. Obj and his cohorts are destroying naija one mighty chunk at a time. Now we hear of oil industry execs being shot on the street and yu think this has nothing to do with the third term!!

Everything is just pathetic about this our dear country ! let us all be praying fervently for the betterment of our DEAR MOTHER LAND !
Cheers

If Obasanjo goes for a third term I hope he dies!! I have searched for ait's website and I can't access it something about a temporary host>THink what you may.
anyone with ait's phone number please>

The only way out of this quagmire and imbroglio is for us to allow OBJ to continue in the office. Those politicians are the ones sabotaging his government, they are the one formenting trouble all over the places simply because Baba would not allow them to swindle us as they used to. Simply because Baba will not allow them to have a shot at the presidency. Baba means well for this nation, he knew those corrupt politicians are no good at all and they dont mean well for this country, that is why he want to die for us. Have any of those politician ready to die for this country? You will see them in bullet proof cars with sirens whenever the are passing? You will see them travelling abroad at any slight headache. If Baba allow them a shot at presidency, they will take us back to those bad days we have int he past. Cant we the masses see things for ourselves. All the good things that Baba did, they are trying to sabotage it so that we the masses would feel the pain and contibute to the voice that Baba must go. I always thought we should have been wiser by now, not taking to the antics of those politicians, they dont have anything good to offer us, it is only Baba that can step on their powerful toes, no wonder they dont want him anymore. Nigerians wake up, let us leave the fight for third term for them, it is not our fight. If we continue to support them, they will later in turn use our words against us. More is still coming from me to expose this selfish politician.

U are a Bad man

i really can't imagine what is going on in this country, when we are about moving on we then go five steps backward. the issues before obj entered govt are still pending e.g. electricity, good roads, portable drinking water, more job opportunities, provision of social amenities, access to funds with low interest rates for the sole properitor despite bank consolidation, quality telecommunication services, affordable and qualitative educational services and yet obj want to perpertuate himself in govt for another 12 years after the first 8 years it is really absurd, before he dies on that seat i advice him to resign honorably as for peace to reign.

Sorry guys if i sound lost. Does this constitutional amendment mean that we will be having three terms of four years each, and surpossedly, our 'ever young' obj will start?

@dannyxyz:-before he dies on that seat i advice him to resign honorably as for peace to reign.
* _{thinking aloud!} Maybe Baba intend to leave that sit for his grave or in disgrace. *

OH My God,

We are back to Abacha Era.

Everybody should try and read "Last 100 days of Abacha" by Olusegun Adeniyi.

He who refused to learn from history, makes history to repeat itself.

Twinstaiye by your name i know you are a Yoruba man. Pls think about this senario, If Obj is allowed to do another 4 yr term and every other geopolitical zone will do their own 12yrs. It will take another 60yrs for another Yoruba to be President of Nigeria. That means, that Yoruba person  Male or Female is not alive as of today. In that if the person is born today, by the time Obj lives office in 2011 (hope he does not extend again) he or she will be 5yrs old add 60yrs to that, the person will be 65yrs old. You think by then people will vote for a 65 yrs old person to be president of Nigeria?
It means OBJ would have used up the quotas of 6 generations of Yorubas no matter how good and well endowed in their chosen field of work. No Yoruba can aspire to lead the country even if he is the most qualified person in Nigeria. All of these because of one man selfish interest.

There is some madness going on for sure

Is anybody out there watching the bunch of criminals/clowns in the house of reps? They are just making noise like school pupils at a circus show.

I read from one of the newpapers that AIT was given 21 days ultimatum to dismantle their mast for network transmission located at Asokoro Abuja.
Be it as it may, i believe that Nigeria is not yet matured for true democracy.
The right of the media to educate and inform must be respected and must be seen to be respected.
Another poor job by this govt.

This good for nothing Govt can do whatever they like but should leave AIT out of their useless politiking becauce i would definitely sue anybody that messes with my inability to watch CUANDO SEAS MIA.

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THIS COUNTRY? WE SHOULD PRAY O. I MEAN IT

OBASANJO AND HIS COHORTS SHOULD LEAVE NIGERIANS ALONE. GOD HAS BLESSED HIM MUCH MORE THAN ANY BODY IN THIS COUNTRY. WHAT IS HE LOOKING FOR AGAIN?

WE, NIGERIANS SHOULD RISE AGAINST THIS DICTATORSHIP. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

We need an independent Instituition to monitor our broadcast organs,NBC has become another EFCC;a tool of victimization

Its a shame that the leaders in this nation are just there as figure heads. Now if licenses are revoked for live coverage, maybe they will start arresting citizens for talking cos I still don't know why the OPC leaders are still in custody, dokubo and others what is happening in this nation? Shall we continue to sit down and see these old fools ruin our future OBJ am very positive that his grave has been dug!!!

am a female residing in lagos nigeria.

only GOD will save our country from chaos.

I think people should stop predicting doom for Nigeria come 2007. People, have faith, the God that delivered us from Abacha would definitely deliver us from Obasanjo and his cohorts. Personally, I think Nigerian youths should be more proactive and let their voices be heard on this third term issue. Believe it or not, it is our future these jokers are playing with.

Was AIT Licence revoked?

NOOOOOOOOOOOO.

How do you know that?

I still receive AIT here via BEN TV. It wouldn’t astonish if their licence was in fact revoked and someone saw some sense and decided not to see the whole thing thru.

That is what we are talking about, the issue is not about whose tribe is the president, it is about Nigeria future, the masses and the future of our children. No matter where anyone who is ready to take Nigeria to higher height come from does not matter, so long as he is really performing, I think that should be bone of contention. This present politicians had failed us, they are the one who sold the ethnicity into our polity otherwise, we wouldnt have been saying a rotating presidency should be the best. Tell me, if it is the turn of a particular tribe and they dont have a credible candidate, do we still allow them to be president just because of ethnicity division.? Nigeria must move forward, and OBJ seems to ready to die in achieving this.
