@ajali, beautiful post, just beautiful.

Look, we have witnessed changes less likely to happen in the last year with a Black man being elected to the Whitehouse, which also used to be a running joke with Black Americans themselves , so you cant discount the united voice as a force of change.

change is coming was a song fews days ago. today we collective say CHANGE HAS COME

all Mr President needs now is our prayers. God help Nigeria, God help Mr. President

does he need it? what is the prayer point because if i start praying that he resign or die. it is still prayer[/quote

I hope Yaradua comes back in good health, then resigns as president, because he is not fit to lead, more importantly the people want change.

resign? on the purported address, he said he is coming back home to continue the discharge of his duty.

Everything gets back to normal?
Will Yaradua speak to Nigerians?
Or was it just a show?

@ jimmysho, thats why I said HOPE, lol

Even if he will resign once he finds his health is becoming too much, down the line. Is he hardly likely to say right now, that he is going to resign once he gets back?

Well, we can but hope he does the right thing and resigns. He can either jump or be pushed, it looks like his only options now.

wole soyinka for president

FAVOURED GENERATION,

@edoyad

Well, I am mostly in the background and observe first of all the things, before I say something.  
Of course I have noticed, that something is happen in Nigeria. It seems as you have awoken from a long lethargy.
I am really glad very much about it and hope that this still small snowball will grow to a gigantic avalanche.
Uups, a funny sentence for Nigeria. LOL, but you will know what I mean.

And yes, I have already written the article and not only this. Because of the fact, that the publisher was interested
to give an understanding of Nigeria to his readers he asked me to write more.
And, finally, a 18-sided pamphlet originated about Nigeria and the people. I must confess, I don't handle with the Nigerian leaders in politics and economy very softly. I just always say what is my mind. However, even more warmly and sometimes also more jocularly are the articles about the people in Nigeria, their culture, their peculiarities. Briefly, I have described Nigeria and its people as I see them.

Here of course the pamphlet is written in German, but there is also an issue in English language. If you like to read it, you find it as a PDF to download on my MySpace side (my side is bilingual in German and in English). There I have posted a blog with the heading "Nigeria, bad luck and evil"?  
You find the link to the website on my profile.

Any update, guys?

@londoner

thank you!

Maybe I have expressed myself a little bit clumsily.
I just want to say that it is impossible to quieten the voices of 150 million people.
If these are, nevertheless, only a few, the past has shown often enough how was reacted to it.

God bless these people for this protect.

Calm down. It looks very much like another Aondoakaa swindle http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/8456688.stm

As much as I disagree with Onwan using diatribes on the personalities of Falana and Soyinka and contributors of Nairaland I am in agreement with him when he wrote about their (Soyinka and Falana) motives. Falana made so much money working for Ribadu as EFCC lawyer at the instance of the then AG federation. Lack of patronage from Aondoakaa hence the hatred for the new AG (while not holding brief for Aondoakaa , Am no fan of ANY public servant in office since Obj to date). Soyinka know how past protests in Nigeria had not given desired results I want to believe that Tpia and I share in the patriotism of Monkeyleg, Gbawe, Londoner, Edoya and others who yearn for a better Nigeria but will agree that having these protests in London, Australia and New York will not change a bit of the ugly Nigeria situation I can only imagine how much of donor agencies’ funds has gone to private pockets, What we need is either a proper electoral reform. We should expend more energy in pushing these electoral reforms that will give us desired leaders those in the civil society know this very well and we have been lobbying for this and results are trickling in gradually (effective election will give desired leaders) only then will we weed out the “comedians” who parade themselves as distinguished and honourable weaklings. If we indeed have a virile national assembly Yar a Dua would have been impeached long ago or we wrestle the leadership through what beaf referred to as a ‘Sovereign National Conference’.

Under what party would that be?

WAS THERE YESTERDAY. BEFORE I LEFT HE HOUSE WITH MY BROTHER, WE WERE AFRAID THE POLICE WILL TRY TO ATTACK THE PROTESTERS WITH TEAR GAS BUT SURPRISINGLY THE PROTECTED US AND SOME EVEN JOINED US.

MY BROTHER AND I ENJOYED IT SHA. THE TREK WAS WORTH IT BUT I DID NOT GET TO SEE SOYINKA AND UTOMI FACE TO FACE.
GLAD I DID THIS SHA.

I really see hope for us Nigerians. Things will turn up when good men sit up for the right cause. To Prof. Wole Soyinka, i say a big thank you. My spirit is with all of you. Thank you good Nigerians. The truimph of the evil over the good is temporal!

all we are saying, give us answers. all we are saying . . .
