[size=20pt]Nobel prize by Negotiation[/size]

The granting of the Nobel “peace prize” to president Barack Obama has become an integral part of the Pentagon’s propaganda machine It provides a human face to the invaders, it upholds the demonization of those who oppose US military intervention.
[size=20pt]
The decision to grant Obama the Nobel Peace Prize was no doubt carefully negotiated with the Norwegian Committee at the highest levels of the US government It has far reaching implications [/size]

It unequivocally upholds the US led war as a “Just Cause”. It erases the war crimes committed both by the Bush and Obama administrations.

Yes you heard me right... Dr. NOI .

Paying where and where, do you know what Nigeria's debt profile looks like? Are you talking about FG's debt or state and FG as well? States accounted for more than 60% of our debt, with Lagos taking the cake of more than 15% of it. Go back to the DMO and read again, her administration has managed the FG portion of the debt while raising out budget by almost 25% even though 21% of it will be financed through debt.

if Soyinka did not accidentally win the Nobel prize how come his books are not among the first 1000 most widely read book in the world where as Achebe's book is among the first 50 most widely read books in the world

It's in the blood, their fathers were cowards so it's not unusual for this generation to be cowards. But when it comes to fraud and fast money count them in because the always first with that.

My literary award, since that was the only reasonable award your great achebe won........guess who first won Margaret Wong Prize in Nigeria Daniel Fagunwa in 1955 before anybody got to know about your achebe.

If we achieving things more than yur entire kinsmen is what U call being coward then we better remain cowards.
