free2ryhme: my question remains


why cant they bring this training to Nigeria instead of them wasting funds training these guys abroad

How much did delta state law breakers spend on their trip to the United States, Compared to 64million naira spent to develope 20 best of the best in Osun state. Akpabio that has so much money to throw around how many people has he sent for training in agriculture. I can bet both delta and akws ibom earn 10 times what Osun state earns yet the strided being taken by ogbeni
Is evevident for all to see. I suggest you devout more energy to ensuring you guys vote in sound leaders like ogbeni in your region, it you do with the massive resources you guys have it wont be long b4 we start rushing to ur region to learn one or two things from you guys in the areas of development but until that happens I bet you will continue hating people like ogbeni!

NaijaNaWaa: Bless u. Each time I read all these Ribadu nonesense I feel sorry for this country. The man is a living scam. His public service record is very easily accessible to any average reporter yet lazy youths and media keep recycling this same worn-out self serving PR narrative. This country is doomed for as long characters like Ribadu are celebrated as heroes.

But we fine with heroes like Gej, Pej, alams, ibori, akala, bala mohamed, anenih etc right? Its demons like you who get paid to destroy the few good ones weve got left that we should get rid of.

Diasporan: [b]Respect to @jarus.One of the few I respect here on NL.Very matured in his submission and somehow apolitical in nature.
@topic How I wish I was Jarus to re-ask him a question I asked him in late 2010 at Ritz continental hotel Abuja during his campaign.Till date I didn't get the answer.Femi Falana helped him out that day by cornering my question.My question went thus "Sir can you kindly tell us how you plan getting money to contest knowing fully well that election in Nigeria is financially demanding and this is a Presidential election we are talking considering the fact that you were a cop and former public office holder.We all know what ought to be your take home pay and some might agree with me here that even including your allowances as EFCC Chairman cannot foot even a Local Govt election so kindly tell us where you plan getting your financial war chest for the battle ahead and with that as one whom we all know is transparent and corruption free how do you intend to stay clear of corrupted funds which will be likely to be brought forth for the support of your Project Ribadu?"The whole hall went into aestheric applaud.That was when Falana now used his witty finese as a legal gigipogri to twist the whole issue.I have not forgiven him for that cause that was the only opportunity I had to ask him this questions knowing fully well that the occasion was being covered by major media houses in the country.Funny enough after the whole program Chief Femi Falana cornered me at the hotel lobby and started asking me where I am from and when I told him he simply told me we do have agitation running through our veins that I should keep it up.Next I said to him was sir but my question was not answered he was like we shall meet in other forum where I will be able to ask Ribadu the question face to face and not in the open like that.Immediately he grabbed a photographer and asked that we had a shot together and also ask for my email address that he will sure keep in touch with me.From that day I loss respect for this Chief Falana.I saw him as a crafty old man that bullied me against seeking what could have been a great answer to the puzzle that could have assisted me in the future perhaps when aspiring for an elective position and ways to source for fund when I don't have enough in my financial war chest.[/b]

You sir are a pathetic liar. I was one of the organizers of the 3 days event in 2010, I also worked for over 6 days editing about 16 hrs of video clips trying to compress to a 1 hr clip yet didn't come across your claimed question at any point. Secondly when Mr falana finished he was in a hurry and we escorted him out cos he had a flight to catch for lagos he didn't even eat, so when was this time that Femi Falana called you and interviewed you and had a photo shoot with you. I understand ur need to feel important but why lie against men of proven integrity, whose track records are there for all to see

agbameta: The people of Akwa Ibom don lose 82 grand just like that..

that is chicken change, its an oil rich state and typical of such states profligacy is the order of the day, The elite loot the common patrimony of the people and then send the masses to agitate for more control of "thier" resources so the elite can have more to consume and share crumbs to them during political rallies. It called mumucracy.

Because this is a banana Republic where govt runs a mumucracy unlike other climes where democracy has been adopted!

Kairoseki77: Wole won the Nobel Prize for Literature and is internationally known and celebrated. This is the same award given to Ernest Hemingway, Jean Paul Sartre, Toni Morrison, William Faulkner, and others.

The Nobel Committee gave Wole his award for being a man: "who in a wide cultural perspective and with poetic overtones fashions the drama of existence."

Who the hell is PEJ??

a mere appendage of power!

El Guapo: [color=#0066ff]Y'all must learn to rise above the orchestrated cacaphony of deceit around the fmr EFCC boss, he's no hero but a fraud.

A trusted source once disclosed to us that Nuhu bought atleast 4 houses for himself at choice locations in Abuja, Dubai and Britian!


They include a house at No 18 Mambilla street, off Udi hills Street, Maitama; a flat at Palm Beach estate, Dubai; and another property at 29, Kingsway, Leeds UK.

Where would he cart the missing dossiers prior to his deserved sacking as the EFCC boss to?

These and many more ills cant be the reflection of Good Gani.[/color]

I thought you were only paid to do this for the 2011 elections, does your contract extend to 2013, you lying bigot. When Ribadu was chased away by Yar dua according to the Ibori script with active conniving of Andoaka the criminal attorney general, the mandate given to Farida Waziri was to nail Ribadu by all means, every single aspect of his public service life was probed by his enemies yet nothing was found on him. You now come here with your beer parlour jist claiming this and that without a shread of evidence. In any case the samean turned down a 15million usd bribe, pls look for other strategies to bring Ribadu sown but definitely not graft.

In 2011 I voted Ribadu and I am glad I did. Please can any one mention any Nigerian living or dead that has dealt corruption the kind of blow Ribadu did apart from Muritala and Buhari because they were commanders in chief at their time, but Ribadu was just a very courageous young officer who knew there was a job to be done and gave it his very best, though not your most eloquent speaker but sure knows how to get the job done. He is not an ethnic jingo nor a religious bigot he is very very moderate and exposed gentleman, but was shocked when my people rejected him and preferred to try their luck with the lucky one whose only visible potential is luck. No wonder we are so unlucky cos he has gone with the entire Nations luck. I laugh when you mention candidate A and people say what is he doing in Jagaban's party or Candidate B and you ll hear well still needs to go to the senate to "learn" governance. The same people rejected Gani, Utomi etc at the polls but are quick to embrace the Gejs, the anenihs and the uduagans. A people get the kind of leaders they deserve. God cannot be mocked.

IGBO PEOPLE, CUTTING THIER NOSE TO SPITE THEIR FACE SINCE1967.

SELFWORTH: Its clear that most NL members who post crude comments on here are suffering from a lack of inspiration if all they can think about and do is post negative comments about thier president and his family.

People need to grow up and conserve all that negative energy to invest in their own personal lives.

Hey kid! Stop preaching to the converted, tell your president to act like a true leader and stop messing around like a sisi.
Wasting public funds on absolute nonsense rallies that have no positive impact on the lives of the citizens. When is she goin to build a world class hospital for mother and child! Today ameachi, tomorrow she wants to build first lady peace shit for 4 billion naira. I sick of ur master's wife frivolities.

What else do we expect from a clueless president and his untamed wife/mother. I blame Obj bitterly, he did this to us cos we didn't support 3rd term. If not what have we done as a people to deserve this level of wickedness.

Anytime the president is questioned on serious issues like the economy, security, corruption , witch hunting perceived political enemies rather than face the issue the president and his handlers will rather prefer to resort to calling the opposition failed politicians, bitter people etc, what can be more childish, at some point they even ask the opposition to profer solution instead of criticisms. Interesting! Opposition bring solutions for you, is that a joke. The presidency of Gej is definitely a kindergarten presidency.

ckkris: Shahara JUNK. Has the Owner of this Junk Report settled with the girl he abused sexually. Or that one no be news, just because she's Igbo?

haa ha! Bigoted igbo soul, get a life must everything begin and end with igbo victimisation? Abeg make we hear word.

Its don jazzy again! I too love this guy. His composure is world class, his philanthropy is commendable and his talent is unbelievable. I just love the guy! Just like Fashola don jazzy is the king in his field (music production).

What do u expect from a country where mass illiteracy and endermic poverty is the order of the day, even the so called educated ones when they speak u know they are not any different from their illiterate counterpart. Anyway its the strategy of the thieving minute ruling elite class, "keep them poor and uneducated" then they become like sheeps, they will even strip themselves naked in courts when their oppressors are taken to court. Nigeria the land of mumucracy!!

Dan Anyiam: Maybe he is being used and dumped by everybody. Last time he was used and dumped by OBJ and most recently he was used and dumped by GEJ-when is GEJ going to publish Ribadu's report?

pls do you know any police man living or dead that has dealt corruption the kind of blow Ribadu has dealt it. Ribadu was not used he has simply done his bit any time his nation beckons him to serve its up to the tinubus qnd the Gej's to prove their commitment to transparency by first declaring his assets publicly like president yar adua did. Ribadu has fought the good fight, if Goodluck as commander in chief can show half the patriotism and courage Ribadu showed in discharging his duties Nigeria in the last 5 yrs under Gej would ve overtaken south Africa but behold Gej is pathetically corrupt and endermically clueless.

plaindealer: I don't know why they hate so much with passion....

Its simple I ll explain. You know when you are toasting a girl but perhaps there was this scruffy looking NFA ( no future ambition) guy there before you, toasting the girl, then you clean, handsome, intelligent, focused and comfortable guy comes into the picture, and the babe now starts giving u all the attention. You know the kind of hatred the guy will have for you, I mean I the girl says anything good about ur person, u know how the guy will jump to dismiss and discredit it like a rabid dog. Same way this guys hate Fashola, they strongly believe myopically though that he is the reason for Gej's dumbness, they believe Fashola's charisma is the reason why Gej's cluelessness is so obvious. Infact they believe fashola is the reason for Gej's low fluid counts! Get a life guys Fashola is the most outstanding public servant in Nigeria, if you know any pls state with fact! And pls no naming criminal akapbio here that's total disrespect to his excellency, gov Fashola. Comparing Fash with Akpabio is like comparing sleep with death. Fashola is light years of Akpabio in everything and I mean everything.

tawa89: East is backward? Can you provide ANY stat to back this claim up? ANY stat at all.

Easterners are not backward, level of governance in the south eastern state is poor compared to what we get in the south west. One of the reasons for this is because we have refused oppression an excuses from the ruling class, we voted Awo loyalists in 1999, they failed us so we voted the party at the center, they also failed us we voted them out. Like Ghana that has been able to do this we can see the development in their policy and democracy unlike Nigeria that has refused to change a non performing party that has rules for over 14 yrs with 3 presidents yet has not improved the life of his citizens. Let the easterners dump all primordial sentiments and start voting competent leaders.

Oh pls guys don't start. Pls vote for Andy Uba of pdp he is cleaner than Ngige, he has only worked for Obasanjo as a domestic staff, in any case obj is not a jihadist since he is a christian. Now I knowwhy ur s eastern states are so backward rather than vote a competent and courageous leader to serve you, ethnic and religious bigotry will not let you. Goodluck Jonathan has messed with your brains completely. Which party deos not have abundance of abokis and "jihadist" check your facts very well I mean ask any one in the political circle, Alimodu Sheriff, Yerima, and the other pdp senator from borno who was charged for terrorism by the sss are all close friends of the president, so whipping up fake ethnic and religious setiments to pace the way for your incompetent candidates can only help set the south east back further. You can learn from us in the south west where we dont buy this bull crap, knowing fully well that a yoruba man is a yoruba man whether christian or muslim, whether pdp or acn or lp, competence is what matters most.

Pdp is a disaster to Nigeria's nascent democracy, the order of the day is to falsify election results get corrupt inec officials to announce the fake result then ask the victims to go to court, this they have used successfully to perpetuate themselves in power illegally, but just salami rather stood against their tyranny and stood for truth, but Jonathan the tyrant who chooses which NJC recommendations to take, refused to swallow the humble pie and do the honorable thing re instate the fearless judge! How many judges can blow the whistle on a corrupt chief judge?
Salami has done his bit, just like Gani Fawehinmi did his, when history is written, those alive then will judge for themselves who served the nation better Jonathan or §alami!

TechyGuy: No one needs a crystal ball to tell the region you are from.

Ofcourse no one needs a crystal ball to tell who camp you are in. Clown! Like leader like follower. All dumb!

Very compose, eloquent and confident . Yet obasanjo was against him. Now I believe Obj bequeathed us Jonathan to punish us for not supporting his third term bid, cos how else can you explain how on earth we ended with the Otuoke clown, out of all the eminent and brilliant personalities in the Niger delta, haba Obj u wicked no be small. Is Donald duke not from the Niger delta? See Ameachi speaking like a president. Niger Delta why do you guys want to foist your worst product on the rest of us? Obasanjo hated a brilliant medical dr like Ngige but preferred Andy Uba with the fake PhD, same way he preferred Jonathan to Duke. Smh country where the worst of us rule the best of us!

Nice write up. Politicians hide under the cloak of religion to perpetuate themselves in office and continue the plundering of the people, yet my people are ready to die for people who don't give a hoot if they exist.

Clearly some Niger delta youth are being delusional, there is no way one region can produce the president of six regions. Pls grow up stop stoning northern govs they were th3 ones who made sure Gej got the required votes from 24 states of the federation. It wasn't Asari dokubo that won the pdp primaries nor was it evans bipi. It was this guys who defied the Buhari train qnd made sure their people voted for an ijaw man. Your man will surely need them again in 2015. Guys tread softly stoning wole soyinka cos of Jonathan sounds like an aberration, this guy has fought and done more things for Niger delta than Goodluck Jonathan. I still remember all the campaign against Abacha govt for the killing of Saro Wiwa this was when Goodluck Jonathan was enjoying the military patronage of appointments.

Another silly compilation from our esteem 40 laptop crew. Hope you guys get a proper life after 2015, at least ur boss will be done with elections forever by then win or lose.

One thing am sure of is that those who are supporting the "first" lady apart from the 40 lappy guys who I understand have to earn their meal ticket are just like her classless, clueless and completely uncouth. How in the world do you have the wife of a president meddling in petty politics like this and finally we get men of honour speaking out against the desecration of the position of "first" lady and all u guys could come up with is its a tribal thing. My advice to the followers of the Jonathans is to advice the firstlady to try out the peem sec stuff in bayelsa just may be that will keep her a bit busy and take her away from further embarrassing her husband. The truth is the Jonathans would have been very pleased if all Nigerians were illitrate, cos I look at their style and I see that it really appeals to illiterates. No learned person will admire their style even if he is from Otuoke.

What is Ameachi's crime? That he is not supporting the re election of Goodluck Jonathan an Ijaw man who is from the Niger delta but to the best of mu knowledge this is not a crime. When obj was president the south west was against him and still against him till today. Òrji Kalu was against obj was he subjectef to treatments like this? Why are northerners not killing gov yuguda and gov shema for supporting the president an ijaw man.
Gej had better learn from history, Abacha did more than this but when his time was up the army of sycophants couldn't save him. This guys destroying Rovers state were dinning with the presidenton Abuja last week and this week they are moving around town with impunity ordering soldiers to shoot an elected
gov. I have never heard or seen any where in history where the wife of the president gets into dirty politicking like Patience Jonathan os this classlessness an Ijaw thing or the Jonathans are just one offs? A virtuous woman ordinarily should be at the fore front of suing for peace but not so with patience, she is even the one fuelling the crisis, I wonder what quality of advice she will be giving her husband. This is what you get when you vote leaders without any known or proven record of success at any endeavour of life. I shake my head for the shame called Nigerian president. Pls note this is not a Niger delta affair this is a Nigerian issue it concerns me cos we fought for this democracy while majority of the commentators here were still in mummy's wonb. President Jonathan pls stop desecrating democracy 5 lawbreakers can never impeach 27 lawmakers. And let me remind you tha 19 is greater than 16. Thos is a pointer to what the plan is when Jonathan eventually loses re election in 2015. You can ride Ameachi but You know you cant try it with Wammako or Lamido.

I believe Fashola is the best candidate for 2015. He will not be riding on any tribal crest unlike Gej. He is very competent unlike Gej. He is very focused and courageous unlike Gej. He has a control over his wife unlike Gej. I can go on and on. I want a president that will provide hospitals and schools for my family and I not a president feom my tribe. God see me that had Gej provided this things I would ve been campaigning for him but unfortunately he has chosen to be a complete mediocre banking on ethnic and religious loyalties to win a second term.

Profligate federal govt. 167b for Lagos - Ibadan express. 500million dollars loan for renovation"(painting)" of nine airports, another 3b dollars loan from china for no specific project but to argument the recurrent expenditure of the budget. I wonder which generation will pay back these debts.

oxford: 2015 - 2019 will be great. Imagine Jonathan and his team focused on good governance without the silly distractions of Amaechi, Tanbuwal, lamido, Nyako, and Kwankwaso. All these political gladiators would have been consigned to the dustbin of political history by then. Cant wait.

Yeah Jonathan and his gang will be focused because in prison you dont have too much distractions. So while they are cooling off in Kuje prison they will have enough time to read aboutt the good governance going on in the country under APC.
