Hi guys.'ve been off 4 1 good week- honestly no thanks to d malaria that rubbished my health.did I hear someone say sorry? Of course (not).I don't get sick easily and I can't even remember the last time I went to a hospital but alas!  This time around malaria show mi WEN! I SAW OBJ DECLARING A STATE OF EMERGENCY IN EKITI(i was down then).Normally it doesn't bother me because our politicians are cunny but it's quite funny; I've a very close friend I respect a lot who  hails from 'ere,  I feel 4 'em o!

I would've loved 2 paste 1 of 'em letters ere but am unable 2 do that because am presently surfing wit d phone. These mails make me ask "is my mailbox so attractive?" Let me share with u one of em, there was this Lady that said her husband was dead & they needed 2 receive money from d bank. I THINK d nation mentioned was Senegal and she needed my a/c number

26th Dec 2006Another oil pipeline fire outbreak?God damn The HELL!Are d 'peoples'meant 2 b celebrating xmas or 'celebrating'an outbreak?D pictures; especially d smoke is Scary. A JOURNALIST had earlier said that there was pandemonium and seeing d pictures;, GOSH.burnt bodies in Lagos when it isn't HELLFIRE; I'M actually thinking of how hellfire 'll be. THIS is very SAD 4 a nation especially during a festive season. WHY must this government create uncertainty 4 her people because it's very OBVIOUS that d fuel

hi there.
I travelled during the festivities and d harmattan 'ruined' my fine boi.
Men, d northerners are really trying o1! My legs were white and undeneath it was so BROWN. Infact, i had 2 wear my socks 2 cover my leg.
it's so 'fawny' that this premier league of a thing isn't so popular after all. I had so many friends who went 2 Osun,Ondo etc and they wanted 2 follow d premiership.
a guy in Osun asked where he could find a viewing centre and 2 his surprise, that was a new one 2 'em.
d guy had 2 call me consistently 4 d scores.
What 'saddened' me was that Chelsea were unable 2 capitalise on the draw man u had.
INFACT, I WENT2 an eatery 2 watch d match(man u vs newcastle) and I celebrated d draw but d blues still 4ked up.
It's so annoying when u go out of lagos,  no gprs, less electricity, no cybercafe TOO!
I dint even know sadam was dead until I saw nta.
anyway, d holidays are over and i look 4ward 2 new stuffs,

So unfortunate what#s goin on 'bout this fuel scarcity shit. You needed 2 've seen d number of accidents i saw on thursday. molue vs peugeot 504,new toyota buses vs a private car, i stopped counting!
we are 'ving fuel scarcity during the 'nu year'-haba!
,
rev king's death raised so many issues;GULLibility. i reserve my comments because POVERTY is an excuse 4 such over-blinded followers.
 People should stop being lazy because u don't neccessarily need someone 2 answer your prayers, u can as well do it yourself

I remember reading about a java certified boy on the newspaper.  At 12 year old!
I've thought 2wice: I'll take my programmin' serious. Perhaps when I've time to defend my project, I'll do it FINE.|

Finally the CBN plans to introduce the new currency notes and coins into the system; I wait to see how its going to fit in2 d system. Will prices generally come down to suit the coins or are bus fares going to reduce or . . .? The coins and da new notes look ‘lovely’ but I doubt if Nigerians ‘ll be able 2 preserve d ‘pretty’ look after 3 months. I’m just wondering what two naira ‘ll do. The 50 kobo still makes some little sense considering the fact that 7.50k * 2= 15naira!
   .  .  . I wait to see how d ECONOMY is goin’ to change . . .
    Still on the “preserve d ‘lovely’ look” issue, the metro buses that are to commence operations late February in Lagos should generate some sanity in the transportation system in the state. Akin to developed countries, public transportation should be a pleasure to board ‘because over there, not e’body likes the boo-ha-ha of driving. Most drivers in the state are not meant to be Licensed because we all don’t obey simple traffic rules; some us don’t even know what some traffic signs stand for. It’s so appalling the way danfo drivers move in Lagos. When you are in their buses, you keep on praying to HIM because at times, those guys are usually high Reminiscent of what I wrote earlier, “I doubt if Nigerians ‘ll be able 2 preserve d ‘pretty’ look after 3 months” because similar stuffs ‘ve been introduced twice during this administration of Tinubu. Lagosians can’t change- before you know it, a bus that should accommodate 20 passengers suddenly becomes “29 siiting; 99 standing!”.
Finally, I’ve decided to vote for Jimi Agbaje. I think the guy is smart, he has a good academic certificate (and not the Toronto certificate) and he brings himself down to earth- as in there’s not this clout over him that makes you wan to doubt him. I think it would’ve been better if Action Congress Party had adopted him rather than the other guy who proudly supports Man You- can you imagine? He didn’t even think of supporting a Lagos or Nigerian football club rather, it’s a former colonialist’s club. Am not saying it’s not bad to do that but he’s gotta consider that he’s running for a political post that has gotta do with sentiments and concern for your people. I wonder what would happen to we the non-Manchester United supporters if he wins. Anyway, eko o ni baje-Amin

   So I saw the CNN report on the Niger Delta some days back and whether the re na lie or not, our ‘great nation’ was once again put to shame by the only nation that never minds her business-US.A. Africa’s Largest network (NTA) as she calls herself has never taken time to put together a documentary on the area, rather it’s a foreign station miles away distant from Nigeria that came to find the problems bombarding the area! CNN was probably jobless at the time and they just said to themselves ”let’s go on some adventure to the Niger Delta!”. Haba, our Min. of Information was trying to defend the Proudly Nigerian state and he defended that d militants on the screen were hired (He should have proven it to shame them, abi?). Doesn’t it add more insult to injury that our future leaders will be passionate to be part of the CNN ‘movie crew’? It does goes to show the height of joblessness in the nation and it reminds me of what Basket-mouth once said about foreign correspondents and Nigerian reporters whereby the foreigners defy all odds to air a breaking news but NTA won’t even bother themselves with all those Wahala;
“.   .  .Here’s so and so place after the so and so incident occurred . . .” It doesn’t appear funny ‘ere but the way Basket-mouth presented it was comical.
   Sincerely, I saw a documentary on the area some few years back on AIT (and not the big NTA) and I couldn’t resisting shedding some tears ‘because I couldn’t believe that an area in Nigeria could be as backward as that in the 21st century! You need to have seen the water the people there drink; it looked like Groundnut oil. Companies flare gas, there are hardly roads and the place is simply deplorable in summary. After watching the documentary, I dint know whether the Foreign oil companies are to blame or the Governments in the \area for corruption. Some of the companies there are wicked ‘because instead of constructing motorable roads, they’ll just construct a makeshift kind of bridge for their vehicles to cross over. But when one also considers the embezzlement of funds by an indigene of that area and someone who is/was highly respected (alamieyeseigha or whatever), one begins to wonder which side is to blame- d oil companies or the government. …PROUDLY NIGERIAN!

   Right now as am typing, I’m watching a John Legend video and d guy is just fantastic! He’s my favorite musician ever and d guy is plainly extraordinary. Listening to his music gives me INSPIRATION and I recall his music gave me the desired recuperation when I was ‘hospitalized’ last year. His lyrics are less ‘parental advisory- explicit content’ and until now; I never knew he was behind Alicia Keys’ “ain’t got you ” and most of Kanye West, JayZ, and Mary J. Blige etc. By the way, she (Alicia Keys) ’s also my darling female artiste . . . two of a kind right?
I pray he comes to Nigeria in the nearest future and I bet I’ll do ‘anything’ to get a ticket regardless of the amount.
 Remember,

                                             ”We just ordinary people
                                               Maybe we should take it slow . . .”

.  .  . so am just going to take it slow at this moment because my fingers needs some respite at this moment- BODY NO BE WOOD!

   A new nairalander I guess (going by the number of posts) wanted opinions on the Census issue. I guess he doesn’t know d rules of the JOURNALS section. Anyaway, I wouldn’t like to really bore to death my column with excerpts but given that I read this feature on THE TELL 2 days ago, I just felt I should put it ‘ere:

____________________________________________________________ ____________
By ADEKUNLE YUSUF


 
Census Officials 
Armed with a projector, a thorough grasp of demographic variables and statistical data from local and international sources, he held his audience spellbound for about three hours. By the time Olufemi Hamzat, commissioner for science and technology in Lagos State, was done, the enthusiastic crowd of stakeholders at the Shell Hall, MUSON Centre, Lagos, last Monday, erupted in a thunderous applause. Hamzat, a former lecturer, had just taken his audience through an analytical trip of what the state government considers the real demographic status of Lagos State. And his conclusion was that with the recently released figures by the National Population Commission, NPC, the number of residents in the state was grossly under-counted.  After the presentation of a book, Errors, Miscalculations and Omissions: The Falsification of Lagos Census Figures, the submission of Hamzat was that the provisional figures allocated to the Centre of Excellence defy universal demographic parameters.
Obviously impressed by the brilliant presentation, Bola Tinubu governor of Lagos State, had to discard a prepared speech he had wanted to read and spoke extempore. He asked: “What else do we need to say to convince enemies of progress to do what is patriotic and just?” A visibly livid Tinubu, who threw jibes at the NPC over the provisional figures which put Nigeria’s population at 140 million, insisted that available figures showed that no fewer than 17,552,924 people reside in Lagos, regretting that the nation had just emerged from “yet another barren exercise”. The governor, therefore, challenged President Olusegun Obasanjo to demonstrate sincerity in the fight against corruption by ordering a recount of his state.
A breakdown of the figures released by the state, which was a product of its own parallel census exercise done simultaneously with that of the NPC, showed that no fewer than 9,115,041 males and 8,437,901 females live in Lagos.  One of the arguments relied upon by the state was the data of immunised children in the state which was sanctified by the Federal Ministry of Health and the World Health Organisation, WHO. Between 2004 and 2006, an average of 3,238,973 children of 0-5 years of age were immunised with polio vaccines in the state. This, therefore, means that Lagos State would have a figure of no less than 16 million going by the United Nations’ yardstick that age bracket constitutes roughly 20 per cent of any population.  Also hard to dispute is the result of satellite imaging done last year by the World Bank in collaboration with the Lagos State Office of Statistics which showed that there are identifiable 4,750,000 houses in the state, of which 3.15 million are residential. Based on the report, the average household size for the state is six, leaving no fewer than 18.90 million people for the state if the average household size is extrapolated with the number of residential houses. For these glaring anomalies, the state government said it would bring in international and independent experts to corroborate its findings, after which it would head for the census tribunal.



. . . if it bores you, I think you can stop ‘ere but if you are really interested, you can go on




Despite the raging controversy, Musiliu Obanikoro, gubernatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the state, believes the hoopla is unnecessary. The governorship hopeful said rather than condemning the results, Lagosians who usually flee Lagos in droves for their native states whenever a census exercise is to take place, deserve to be reprimanded. That may amount to  mixing politics with census matters.
In fact, it is not only Tinubu that has an axe to grind with the figures released by  the Samu’ila Makama-led NPC. Denouncing the figures last Tuesday, Nasir el-Rufai, minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, said his administration found the figure of 1,405,201 posted for the FCT unacceptable.  His reason was that the figure failed to reflect its true population. He added that prior to the 2006 census, the FCT had been estimated to have over six million people, vowing that he would contest the figures at the census tribunal. El-Rufai, a favourite of the President, said his defence of the interest of the FCT is a duty that should not be buried in any kind of affiliation. Social and political  groups, particularly in the South, are also shouting  blue murder. In a furious manner, Ohaneze Ndigbo, a pan-Igbo cultural organisation, described the figures as a fraudulent exercise, threatening to contest it at the tribunal. “Ndigbo used experts, demographers and geographers to look at the figures we have had before, and the facts and figures on the ground. And they have concluded that the population allocated to the South-east cannot be a proper reflection of their number, that they have been short-changed. We do not accept it. It is very much doctored and tailored and we reject it”, Dozie Ikedife, president of a faction of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, protested. There were equally strident calls by the Afenifere, a pan-Yoruba socio-political group, urging the National Assembly to pass a resolution that the figures be put on hold until after the April polls so that its fallout would not be exploited to actualise tenure elongation for public office holders. While rejecting the result, Yinka Odumakin, national publicity secretary of the group, said the exercise was a well-managed and manipulated demography venture to justify the call for proper restructuring.
Odumakin struck a chord there though he may not have known how the manipulation came about. The magazine learnt that the problem was really not with the census exercise. Whatever initiated the controversy may have been done after the results were computed and some people felt uncomfortable with it. A senior government source said the actual figure that originally came out of the census is almost twice the figure released - about 250 million. When the yet-to-be-released results reached Obasanjo, he reportedly gleefully danced, excited that his administration would score a golden goal by recording the true figures of Nigerians. But that excitement reportedly changed to despondency shortly before the figures were released. A Presidency source said it was a disillusioned Obasanjo who suddenly caved in to surreptitious threats from established Northern interests who warned of a fury that would ultimately consume the nation should the result be published “unedited”. The subtle blackmail is reportedly informed by fears that the North would be prone to further impoverishment and possible future annihilation in the Nigerian state if population advantage, which is a veritable index of revenue allocation, is withdrawn. Having relinquished power to the South since 1999, they argued that they had not got the President to do things the way they wanted. Thus, some of the elite in the North successfully boxed Obasanjo into a corner. But beyond this, the President was wary of some damning security reports said to have painted a gloomy picture of a violent reaction that may greet the release of the true figures said to have put the population of the North at about 40 per cent as against 60 per cent for the South. In a way, the threat was a subtle blackmail for a President who, in spite of posturing, does not want to confirm the bourgeoning speculations that he intended to engineer a crisis to prolong his stay in office.
But by merely succumbing to pressures, Obasanjo may have, wittingly or unwittingly, missed the golden opportunity to cross the census Rubicon once and for all, thus leaving Nigeria to continue to grope in the dark as to how many are her citizens. Therefore, despite the use of technology and the painstaking efforts deployed into the six-day exercise which gulped billions of taxpayers’ money, the arm-twisting has lumped the provisional results with previous ones that were hotly contested.
That was a census exercise that held much hope of accuracy, judging by the pledges of Makama that the nation would get it right this time. To quell primordial acrimonies and etch the nation on a sound progress compass, issues relating to ethnicity and religion were struck out. Also, initial threats like logistic problems forced the hands of the commission to shift the exercise which was billed to hold in 2005 to 2006.  Yet, the product of such a painstaking exercise has continued to attract condemnations from informed quarters. Aligning himself with the position of statisticians who had picked holes in the state-by-state figures, Ajibola Ogunsola, chairman, The Punch Nigeria Limited, publishers of The PUNCH newspapers, said he was yet to fathom how NPC arrived at the controversial figures. The renowned actuarist, who spoke during the stakeholders’ meeting organised last week by the Lagos State government, wondered how meaningful economic planning could take place without an accurate census data. This may have informed the view of Elias Wahab, a demographer and lecturer in the Department of Sociology, Lagos State University, LASU, who cautioned that the implications of an under-reported census are legion.
Apart from being a bad precedent that may adversely affect people’s disposition to such an exercise in the future, Wahab said that the governed would be worse for it if government programmes are based on faulty figures. But, according to Kunle Ogundele, lecturer at the Department of Geography and Regional Planning, LASU, there may also be some political undertones to the census imbroglio. He says that the effect of an understated figure for a mega city like Lagos is that the usual development grants from international bodies may have to be withdrawn.  In other words, Lagos may have drawn the envy of some people in this regard being the only state in Nigeria categorised as a mega city, adding that the pressure on infrastructure and environment would be catastrophic. Wahab, however, called for restraint, saying that critics should wait till March when the figures will have been broken down by the NPC for better comprehension.
But it is most unlikely that a breakdown would assuage the feelings of those who hold strong views that their states were under-counted.
Interestingly, census exercise in this country is not a stranger to controversies, with each attempt following the beaten path of the past and reopening of old myths - North and South agitations. Shortly before the results of 1991 census were made public, Augustus Aikhomu, then military vice president, had warned that the nation would be shocked when the figures were eventually announced. Receiving the results, which put the country’s nation population at 88 million, from Shehu Musa, then NPC chairman, Ibrahim Babangida, then military president, in a rare moment of candour, admitted that the 1963 census figures on which the nation had premised its planning were more of negotiations than enumeration. Perhaps, that spirit of negotiation was also employed in the recent exercise to placate some power bloc. But the multimillion-naira 1991 exercise, which Arthur Nwankwo, author and publisher, described as a “scientific fraud”, was also engulfed in the flame of rejections and controversies. During the controversial 1963 census, when the nation was said to be 55.6 million, the North was 29.8 million while the South was 25 million. Then came that of 1973 which was touted to be the most alarming census figures in the nation’s chequered history. Out of 79.7 million, the North was recorded to have 51.3 while the South was awarded 28.4 million. What that meant was that the South had added only 3.4 million people in 10 years. The reaction was alarming. Unsure of the public tantrums the results could generate, Yakubu Gowon, then military head of state, tarried in releasing the results until he was swept away in a palace coup.
Like in the previous rancorous census exercises, the 2006 figures fly in the face of universal demographic realities. Around the world, population cluster generally tends to be heavier along the coastal areas than in the arid regions. But curiously, the nation’s census experience has always remained an aberration. The northern part of the country has consistently posted more population figures than the South. Out of the 88,992,166 in the 1991 census, the North had 47,369,237, representing 53.40 per cent. In the latest exercise, the North has led  again with 75,025,166, which represents about 53.59 per cent. Given the dying trans-Sahara trade and increasing influx of businesses like telecommunications towards the South, it is expected that settlement pattern would tend to follow established order as it is in countries like Australia and Canada where population and economic propensities tilt more toward coastal areas. But it has also been argued that the vast landmass of the North is what makes it difficult to appreciate the volume of its people. Governor Bukola Saraki of Kwara State and Datti Ahmed, leader of the Supreme Council for Sharia in Nigeria, have also argued that the controversy over which section of the country is more populous is needless. They attributed the rapid increment in the population of the North to polygamy and high fertility since family planning is a rarity in the Muslim-dominated North. This, therefore, means that the population edge of the North would be there for a long time to come. One thing that further underscores the difficulty in reversing the trend is the national identity card programme which was eventually cancelled despite the determination Obasanjo had mustered to pull it through. 
Against global trend, male population in Nigeria has often outnumbered that of the female. For example, for every 101 males in the 1991 census, there were 100 females. But in the 2006 figures, however, the ratio has moved up to 105 males to 100 females. One person who found this phenomenon curious is Lateef Adegbite, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria and secretary-general, Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs. According to him, it is a common thing worldwide that women are more than men in any population. Indeed, it was Lagos that typifies the undercounting of the South. The population of Kano is put at 9,383,682 while that of Lagos is 9,013,534, retaining the supremacy it recorded in the 1991 census. This is despite the fact that Jigawa, which now has 4,348,649 was carved out of the old Kano. Going by the new figures, the population of the old Kano is 13,725,116. Makama said in a recent radio programme that the surging crowd in Lagos was not a necessary and sufficient factor to determine the population of the state. According to him, majority of those who work in Lagos actually live in neighbouring Ogun State. They may, therefore, have been counted in Ogun State. But a senior official in Ogun State laughed at Makama’s logic, saying, “That has not reflected in the figures allocated to us”. Ogun State, which had a total of 2,338,570 people in the 1991 census, is now allocated 3,728,098.
But Olapade Agoro, national chairman, Conference of Nigerian Political Parties, CNPP, may have hit the nail on the head by saying the figures are nothing but “census for revenue allocation”. Said he: “It now shows that no part of this country can be called a fool (anymore) because the clever ones have been caught with their tricks. Census in this country is not done because of the need to know how many we are, but as a means to get money from the federation purse”.

, hope y'all learnt somethin'
 

   

Those Porto guys still pulled the trigger but overall the so-called pensioners - Sheva and Ballack are the players that have secured our quarterfinal qualification over the 2 legs. The second goal was fantastic.
   It was exciting to see a Mikel Obi play his own game because previously; he had always played like a Schoolboy. I still have this feeling that this is our year!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

   Just a minute ago, I saw on the news-
BREAKING NEWS
Yar adua ALIVE
Live from Mainz

Honestly when I saw the caption; BREAKING NEWS Yar adua. .  I thought it was BREAKING NEWS Yar adua Dead!
Anyway thank goodness for his life.

AIT (my best Naija station as far as news is concerned) interviewed his (Yar Adua's) wife and damn the hell; she needs to improve on her English unless she was tensed at the time of the interview because she has gotta become conscious of the fact that she 'll be the 1st lady of Nigeria should her spouse win the elections.
Y'ALL needed to have seen the PDP rally as Obasanjo took over the job of Yar'Adua at the Presidential rally at Abeokuta. That wasn't enough to cool the tempers of the 'teeming supporters'. When Yar'Adua called, there were cheers all over the place and Obasanjo put the phone on the microphone and a conversation ensued.
   Baba had just shot himself in the foot if he didn't realize that. If He wants Yar'Adua to consolidate on his '8 years achievements' as President isn't it ironical that his government couldn't provide A HOSPITAL TO TREAT Yar'Adua? Haba, Doctors in the country went on a work-to-rule (or was it warning strike?) some days back and this just goes to show how insincere the Nigerian government is.  The PDP has cleVerly coined in the slogan POWER TO THE PEOPLE again. Prior to 2007 they were so overwhelmed with power that they just made it 'PDP; POWER!'. Now that they've realised that the electorates 'll 'decide' who wins power, people 've been prioritised in their agenda.
   A PRESIDENTIAL RALLY WITHOUT THE PRESENDENTIAL CANDIDATE!!!
   A PRESNDENTIL RALLY WITHOUT THE VICE PRESIDENT
OBJ hasstarted teaching Goodluck how to 'survive' without his counterpart just the way he (OBJ)  is currently 'surviving' without his counterpart; Atiku (chuckles)
   All the same I don't feel comfy seeing Dora Akunyili at the PDP rallies.




   The most irritating of all irritants was the news by PHCN or NEPA or HOME APPLIANCES DESTROYERS or whatever they are called that there would be interrupted power supply for about 2 months! They are so proud to give excuses for this situation and they are apologizing to NIGERIANS (which we know is insincere because there has always been epileptic power supply in the nation). The PDP has cleVerly coined in the slogan POWER TO THE PEOPLE again. Prior to 2007 they were so overwhelmed with power that they just made it 'PDP; POWER!'. Now that they've realised that the electorates 'll 'decide' who wins power, people 've been prioritised in their agenda
                                               



the 2O NAIRA POLYMER NOTE I THINK WAS SPECIFICALLY MADE THE MOST DURABLE OF THE NOTES JUST BECAUSE OF THE POLICEMEN OR WHAT DO YOU THINK. THE PARTICULAR DENOMINATION HAS CAUSED SO MANY DEATHS AND SUFFERED ENORMOUS ABUSE BY THE BAD EGGS IN THE POLICE FORCE.  THE CONDUCTORS WILLL BE SO HAPPY GIVING THEM THE COINS AS 'EGUNJE' (which is wrong) and the BEGGARS - YES. One doesn't need to be a scrooge as we can give them some coins afterall, little drops of coins makes a mighty BANK!


Y'ALL SHOULD HAVE A NICE WEEKEND AND IF YOU ARE SEEING THIS DURING A WEEKDAY; HAVE A NICE WEEK!!!
      !@#$$%^&*()_+||MUSTAY|+_)(*&^%$#@!     

how far people? went to lasuth again and i must say lagos state government needs to be commended 4 d renovation taking place there. albeit, i didn't support the breaking down of d old strucures; i'm really impressed with the speediness in the renovation. am suspecting this was done because of the elections 2007

D FASHOLA CAMPAIGN TEAM CAME 2 my area 2day. Just like d koro team, these ones too were facing 'one way' traffic too. 2 days ago, it was Pedro that started a million man march from maryland to Surulere. D other day koro's campaign bus almost hit our vehicle because they were in a hurry. HMMN, AFTER VIEWING D DEBATE ORGANISED BY CHANNELS TV, I still stand by my early decision to vote JIMI AGBAJE. It was because of this man I visited d politics section of this forum.

Great people talk 'bout ideas





Average people talk 'bout events.   





Small people talk 'bout other people.














           So which category do I belong to? I THINK I belong to no category but every category! Paradox uhn? Well, later reader(s).
