I have 2009 Passat cc for sale. Car is here and ready

I can also help you with salvage Benz. You fix yourself.

This is bad salemanship...you aren't even attending to a potential buyer's enquiry before seeking the buying signal.
Car Talk / Re: Between 2008 C300, 2010 VW Cc And 2010 Is250 by AFOOooo(m): 5:26am On Nov 22, 2018
Thanks everyone.

IS 250 is out of the options.

It is now a final battle between Cc and C300 though I m favouring cc being that the interior matches the C300 if not better and it is not as common on the road and dealer's shop as C300. I also realized reading through the manuals cc is smarter than C300 ( maybe because of the difference in model). It may also have better 2nd hand value( although not important). Then it saves me approximately 500k at the point of purchase (which cant be wished away)

Power and speed are not so important. Considering our roads and my driving philosophy, I won't need them 95% of my time on the wheel. So the major advantage C300 may have is nulified.

Like a friend told me, modern cars come with relatively high maintainance irrespective of brand and an owner must be prepared to spend occassionally. He believes unless a car is unfortunately bought with an hidden chronic problem, modern cars don't break down frequently if deligently used. He also believes none of the cars is beyond my maintainance capacity.

Now that I have disposed off my old car, I will just make a final stop and choose between the best I can find of the two.

Why not 4MatIC ?

I gathered the maintainance is higher.

About speed and power, do they really make any difference considering our roads? You have to intermittently slow down anyways.

I spend on fuel. Though not a significant cost for me.

Last time it had check engine lights on, took it to mechanic and was told cylinders misfired. The mechanic said its most likely the coil or spark plug. To cut long story short, I spent 179k. The car parts expensive . I changed fuel pump 25k
Serviced with Mobil 1 35k
Changes one stuff in between the v shape engine 40k
Spark plugs 24k
Coils(4) 32k.
The balance was workmanship

That's the only time I have had to spend money


Thanks so much.

A mechanic who specialises in benz I approched also gave a similar illustration. He believes luxury or sport sedan C300 is not beyond my convenience but adviced against 4matic.

Why don't you think outside the box and maybe go for an infiniti?
I'd suggest the 2010 Infiniti G37.
A very solid machine!



Thanks Kingsteve, let me just keep it between C300 and CC

I kinda agree cos of its fuel efficiency. CC is also the cheapest to maintain of the 3 and it's also cheap to buy. I drive C300 and it's sweet Car. Don't know of IS.

Thanks Tempex 88, I will appreciate if you share your experience with C300:

How often do you repair and which is the frequent?
Any idea of the key parts such as absorber, sterring rack s, linkages, etc?

How about system malfunctions? I experience such with the car (DC) I currently drive, it will not ramp beyond 3 and it has proven to be a chronic fault.

My formal neigbour who drives 2010 C350 is freaking me out. In his words,"egbon se e ti lowo sha? Be ready to do transfer for major repair as it is always more than the cash at hand." His wife added, "I have told him to sell the car to buy Toyota camry '14". Now I dont have such money to constantly spend on a car (No problem if its not frequent). Also no problem with the high cost of servicing and I m a deligent user.

Like I earlier mentioned, my confusion is majorly because I am in love with the allure of Benz and only considering CC because its allure competes. Lexus is cool but without the wow factor and I will only buy it if I dont get a satisfactory advice on the preffered duo.
Car Talk / Between 2008 C300, 2010 VW Cc And 2010 Is250 by AFOOooo(m): 8:56am On Nov 17, 2018
I am stuck between buying a foreign used of the three cars listed. Budget or much talked about 2nd hand value that makes Toyota most preffered brand isnt really the issue here but realiabilty and maintainance cost.

I really love the C300 inside out and the allure is the class I desire, yet I want a car that will be there for me always with resonable maintainance cost and safe of chronic problems. I may also prefer the CC's allure to IS 250 if I can be rightly adviced on common technical issues with any of those cars in the short and long term as I am not looking to change a car anytime soon.

I tried to read up and research on the three cars but I m not getting the direct comparison that can influence my decision. Right now I m confused.

Thanks for your help.

Tribute to Gov Babatunde Fashola.
The best administrator I have seen in the history of modern democracy.
It used to be hip of refuse in the middle of the road.
It was a very lawless state ruled by gansters and mafias.
He brought class and style.
His best was the lead role against ebola.
He is a role model and an enviable personality I would serve for free.
An iconic personality of inestimable value.
He laid the template of governance, others now modify.
Go forth and reach the horizonin your next assignment my dear governor.

Prophet of doom
All postulations are negatives

I actually don't have energy for personal attacks but if you calm down and permit intellectual decorum it will be easy for you to identify that was nothing prophetic but logic. If u analyse my post with your second mind, you would realise what it meant was that your president would be returned come 2015 unless something divinely manifest
Politics / Re: Full Text of President Jonathan's Declaration Speech by AFOOooo(m): 6:18pm On Nov 11, 2014
As one of those whom playtime is often spent in this section of nairaland, who reads several comments on several topics in the section without having to reply, I make bold to say if GEJ wins 2015 it wont be because of this piece he so eloquently delivered through the telecast.

It would be because millions of voters in the North east would be disenfranchised while almost one hundred percent of voters in the SS and SE will be overwhelmly counted for GEJ. I forsee massive militarisation of the SW (lagos in particular) to the favour of Mr president. But the big question is, can this president beats his chest that he is as popular as he was in 2011? Can he dare to ensure a one man, one vote electoral process come 2015?

The logic is to reduce turnout in opposition strong hold, even if opposition still win, massively rig in the ruling party strong hold, eventhough they would still have won. Aside this GEJ, PDP and their supporters know that if 2015 elections are truly counted, he would only win in SS and SE. He wont even get 25% votes in Plateau and other North central and some North west states that are being acclaimed to be of Christian majority. David Mark can testify he never truely won any election since 2003.

Politics / Mohammadu Buhari - The Chosen One by AFOOooo(m): 10:23am On Oct 25, 2014
As we are getting prepared for 2015, I consider it imperative to make open my choice of candidate for the President of our country. in previous articles I have made clear that the current president and his party as in 2011 will not get my support because they have once again failed in their electoral promises to the nation. Let me quickly make clear that decision to support a candidate and/or party since 1999 has been solely on issues; From Falae 1999 Obasanjo2003, Yardua2007 and Ribadu 2011 were all decision made on issues without consideration for ethnic and/or religion bigotry
For instance Ribadu was choosen ahead of GEJ in 2011 despite the overwhelming goodluck campaigns because I was convinced Jonathan didnt have a plan for us. I believed a president who had the understanding of Nigeria problem would have pushed for a reformed system rather than an election that year. I believed the president had a golden opporrunity to correct the politiacal annomalies that made political offices attractive to lowly rated intellectuals and political mongers and must be willing to sacrifice any other ambition in the country. For him not to recognise this, I knew Jonathan certainly had not thought. For Buhari, I believed Ribadu was an improved version of him with better understanding of modern developments and polished personality that could be of international recognition. I also considered the fact that Jonathan was a leader of circumstance without substantiative dream.

Today our country is worse. The rate of unemployment has risen, education has hit its all time low, no improvement on power supply despite reforms after reforms and interjection of several legal and illegal funds, no landslide provision of infrastructure and basic amenities even roads are being constructed as if they are special gift from the gods Most importantly the biggest monster sucking this country dry which is corruption has grown from feathers to wings in the past four years. Ecomnomic fugitive are getting liberated day by day while the majority of our people are futher pushed into the pit of penury. The truth is we are at liberty to squarely place this blame on the door steps of the president and his party because only the federal government have the constitutional might to make life changing policies and effect them. They control all the resources available, control the land, sea and airspace. They control the army, police and other paramilitary bodies including the whopping number of youths within their reach through NYSC. These institutions and bodies are directly linked to basic responsibilty of government which is the provision of welfare ( basic infrastructure and social amenities) and security for the people. Yet this president and his party has failed to provide any of these. In my estate (which is not peculiar) we are only lucky if we have light 6 hours in two day, usually its a day on and a day off, then they take and bring light at will for the supposedly on day. I have a neigbour who rarely bother to switch off his generator set when they on the light.

What about roads? Lagos-Ibadan is still a tall dream. Benin-Ore is night mare, what of Kogi Lokoja, we heard about 2nd Niger brigde, Lagos-Abeokuta is a shame, same as Ijebu Ode, Ikorodu road ( just to memtion the ones I plied in recent time) the water ways are opprtunities ignored. The rails are in shambles Education has failed completely and the few ones that managed to go through school are living in the trauma of unemployment. Let me do with a little statistics. I have about 8 friends we graduated in 2008/2009 One has first class, 3 had 2nd class upper and the other had 2nd class lower. Today two of us have moved abroad just to study which is an indication of not being gainfully employed. Two are totally unemployed, one employed as a contract staff and others are employed with no job security or finacial freedom.So it is for friends of friends, neigbours, their friends and family. When I did my masters in 2012, 80% of the students in a professional master class with ave age of 35 are unemployed and still being sponsored by someone other than them. From among my friends we have tried businesses from our individual interest as means of survival ( transport, fishery, poultry, viewing center, petty trading and coching classes) almost all have failed for lack of government support through policy making and provision of social amenities such as power).

It is not as if the purpose of government can only be accomplished by genius, they are like every other living parametals that require steadfasness, commitment and determination. It is just by doing the simple things the simple ways but for our mindset, these things have become so difficult. The system is porus and discouraging for the emacipation of decent ideas which is why we need more than any other things a leader that will reform us as a people, re invent our beliefs and inspire our ways of life into ordaliness. More than ever before we need the national rebirth and no other person comes to mind than the General himself.

I m impressed with the issues related ideology Atiku has introduced into this 2015 campaign and it is tempting to think of him as a president with that roboustness for economic reform but I m particularly not encouraged by his volatility at every little provocation. His kind of international showmanship is one area A Buhari is lacking, then ot will be too risky to hope Atiku would just do the needful of curbing corruption without which no reform can mainfest in this country. Most importantly I will expect APC to chose from among the old miners rather than those who shift loyalty with ease. This alone is enough to disqualify others like Kwankwaso and Tanbuwal whom we all know is in APC in spirit.

For the avoidance of doubt, I am not naive to think Buhari is the best candidate for 2015 but religion, ethnicity and the arrogance of the north to the presidential power have made him the best choice. Ordinarily a ticket like Fashola/Nda Issah would not just have been the best but a winning ticket that would have introduced another dimention to Nigeria politics. A Muslim Southerner/Christian Northerner would have been a fascinating killer ticket with an assurance for performance and guarantee for formidable leadership. As it stands, my preffered combination is Fashola whom I consider to be the brightest brain in our contemporarry political life but religion uproar might just be inevitable. However, APC can choose to be daring because the Christian majority of South east and South south would still vote Jonathan irrespective of who Buhari's vice is. So I think of the Christian minority in the north. If APC can be daring, creative and hard working, it is a ticket that worth the south westerners' vote. In a free and fair election, even if Rivers vote for Jonathan, as long as Kano is able to give Buhari 75% of its vote, South west will be the decider come 2015 because it is the only region who is likely to vote outside ethnic and/or religion bias.

For the records, my expectation of the next Nigerian president is to fight corruption to standstill so that our commonwealth can be evenly distributed, reposition our resources esp crude oil for better management, Deliver for us stable and consistent power supply, overhaul restructor and redefine our educational sector from foundation to professional and make our lives and properties safe from danger and tribulation. Buhari is a figure who practically fits my expectation of the next four years; He was the president who fought corruption, the minister who managed the petroleum ministry, The coordinator of educational trust fund and the general who kept this country safe. It occurs to me that even if the presidential might decides to rig 2015 for itself, The followership a Buhari commands might just be sufficient to win the opposition some fedrating advantage as I can see them winning either or both wings of the national assembly. He will so get my total support ( including financial support) for the very first time in his political endeavour of almost two decades.

Politics / Will You Give GEJ A Pass Mark? See My 29th May 2011 Letter To Mr. President. by AFOOooo(m): 3:37pm On Oct 01, 2014
LETTER TO MR. PRESIDENT
 
Kindly accept my official congratulation for your inauguration on this day but it will be hypocritical if I fail to inform you that my vote is one of the over twelve million vote which went against you for the reasons I can no longer explore because you are already our president and this nation must move forward at this time, irrespective of the sentiment on board. You stood a very good chance and you were able to present to the world you won free and fair. To me, nobody can be a better winner under the circumstances we held that election. So, we must leave that politics till some other time in 2015 and beyond as it is time to face real governance. You must also acknowledge that one of the virtues of a real leader is the ability to understand the rhythm of time.

You are our president and we must wish that you succeed in the mission of reclaiming and rekindling our hope for a better tomorrow and our hope of becoming one of the greatest nations on earth. The world has testified to it that we have the best resources to meet this challenges but we can only move forward with leaders saddled with clarity of purpose bigger than mere wish but a match of the determination to succeed and the will plus the ability to fight against the will of powerful forces that ate this nation to her skeleton. I must quickly emphasize that you do not have to set the ring for this fight for I can assure you that these forces are big enough to consume your energy and frustrate the spectators, even your diehard fans whom the rule will never permit to enter the battle ring with you. Instead, I will advise that you isolate them and leave them with no battle to fight. Make them neither your enemy nor your friend. If they insist being your lord, instigate them against the masses and engage them in street fight while you are the umpire, be rest assured that the comrades are there to take on the fight. This way, they will be as useless as self destructive as the powerful lion who fought his own shadow dip down in the dungeon.

Mr. President, you must remember where you came from, it is not pathetic as you made us believe that you had no shoes, what is pathetic is that many of your type, who even tried harder and who are a little more humble than you never got lucky as you. You must realise that luck is not general, hope is also a gift of faith and favour is a devine gift from God. You must build a nation where people can still be comfortable without these. Many other people did not carry their books in the leather bag, so your upliftment today can never be a compensation for your sufferings but a gallant call to service which not only you was qualified for, so you must do your best to meet the expectation of the people. You must justify the hope and faith many of them showed in you and convince those of us who doubted your ability to lead this ever complex nation.

I want to besiege your attention on power and education. If you can give us light and provide for us quality education, you must have solved eighty percent of the technical challenges facing this country; fifty five percent of our general problems must have been solved. Be rest assured that forty percent of the remaining forty five percent are mere political challenges. Reduce the burden of power by centralising your effort on administration. Leave governance to the state. Let every state earn and spend their income. Let them have their natural blessings and face various challenges. Concentrate on building a network across the boundaries, so that competition for qualitative governance becomes a paradigm from one state to another.
You might want to give constitution as a reason many of these things cannot be achieved, but I disagree with such supercilious argument, the only reason it cannot be achieved is if you; the captain of the ship do not believe it. Yes, it will not be an easy task but I encourage you to harbour no doubt of getting things done, after all if you can dream it you can achieve it and you already knew this is a top job before you took it, so any excuse will not be good enough. This is why you must surround yourself with those who share your dream and who have visible track record of getting things done. If our constitution and politics will hinder you to have such people as your minister, you can as well have them as your special advisers.

Ultimately, if you must be successful, you must possess the political will to negotiate unfavourable laws and sell your agenda out to majority of your political allies and opponents. Let the bedrock be that you strongly believe in an idea or that you believe much stronger in the owner of an idea.

Mr. President, remember that infrastructure and social amenities are not luxuries but basic needs. Our people have long endured and it will be suicidal if they lose their patience in your lucky time. During your campaign, I watched a documentary that showed the humble background you came from, the quiet rise you had and the unblemished success you have been able to achieve in a country of numerous Judas. You must do everything to provide those things you were denied as a growing lad. You must provide for your kind of community, programmes that will ensure your kind of growing lads are given the needed opportunity to survive inclusive of their own personal effort. You must aim to bring smile to the wrinkled faces and give support to the cracked feet that were jumping on the street in their tattered cloth, rejoicing that somebody that knew and understood what they have passed through and what they are passing through has come to the elms of governance. After all, these are your promises to the people of this country and they must be fulfilled.

I also want to see the lads in my village live a healthy life, those lads never wanted to live in the big mansion in Abuja, they did not care about the rot irons in banana estate, but they want to be comfortable eating their fresh vegetable without fear or anxiety. They want adequate care for their children and will just be okay if they know somebody is taking care of their children’s future. Those men might not have big robes like you, your aides and your political friends but they do not deserve to be treated like goats, they should be cared for, they should be looked after when they are sick, they should have good water to drink, they should have good road to pass when they are going to their farms. To them they have men of courage that can kill lion, they have boys that can hunt rabbit, so it is shameful that right before them mosquito kills their children and they remain helpless; if you can solve that burden for them, you will be their hero. Honestly, they deserve just this and you know, that is why you promised them and you must fulfil.

Personally, I do not want to be one rich man amidst millions, it is sad to realise many of my peers are jobless and some are even hopeless. I want you to make policies that will set them on the same level with some of us who are a little bit fortunate and bring us all at pal with the extra privileged fellows out there. My friends and family members do not have to be the extra brilliants before they can have decent lives, after all fingers are not equal and I know you will not cut you fifth finger because it is the shortest. So, policies that provide for everybody in every category should be systematically introduced. A state that cares less for her youths is a failed state in the waiting.

I agree you cannot do everything that is why I earlier advised that you should choose not to do everything. Instead, apply the almighty formula of always being on the people’s side. Please, be a friend of the media and a General of the masses interest. Listen carefully to advice but act on instinct because your palm cannot deceive you. Trek the path of honour and explore your natural humble appearance to the subconscious mind of the people. Weaken your opponents with remarkable achievement and excellent performance. Relax your mind at all time and apply wisdom at critical times. Trust nobody but show unravel belief in everybody around you because they are your ears and letting them tell the truth will only propel your performance and reduce the risk of being caged by your closest advisers. Tell your inferiors the truth but keep vital information to their surprise because you cannot be so sure if you are the master they serve. Definitely, you cannot be so sure of your friends but you should always appreciate the sincerity of your known enemy for making himself known.

Mr. President, let me draw the curtain before the adviser is seen as a pedestrian of thought, after all a word they say is enough for the wise and we should not let the mouth go dry for making a point. I suppose by now you are very prepared for the task ahead, do not panic if you are not fully prepared as I honestly do not expect that only you will have all the solutions, but you must learn to surround yourself with persons who have shown proves of preparedness over years. Please be assured this is not one advice you can choose to cart away as I pray the sky should not be your limit but our starting point to the great nation of our quest.
Thanks and wishing you all the best.
God bless Nigeria

I recommend that JEGA should go watch AIR FORCE ONE by Harrison Ford, maybe it can motivate him to keep moving in with this mighty cross. In honesty, if JEGA fails, we fail as a nation, so this is a time we (internet users)should rally round this man who could have magnanimously thrown this nation into charade of legal battles but chose to shamefully and independently bear the brunt of our collective decadence.

Jega is one honest man amidst hypocrites he will not survive if we don't shield him;
where are the Ndi Okerekes that contributed million of dollars for Obama campaigns? (HYPOCRITES)
where re the Nigerian Artists that have formed a colony for a particular candidate? (HYPOCRITES)
where are the billionaires that donated to the presidential library in Otta ?              (HYPOCRITES)
where are the religion leaders who should who should Shepard our moral values?   (HYPOCRITES)
, where, and it continues,  (HYPOCRITES)
where were YOU when Things were going wrong?                                                        (HYPOCRITES)

For th sake of our unborn, that our nation might b freed  from self captivism, that we give honesty a chance to triumph, let us rise above cheap criticism support JEGA. let us relieve his burden by shielding off his deficiency with or competences and speak with one voice that these votes will not just count but this election shall be a turning point in our national life.

If pdp think their presidential candidate can not engage a governor, they should produce their best four governors to face the ACN rascals in Osun, Ekiti, Edo and Lagos in a public debate.

Why did Jonathan not win or gather resonable votes in Zamfara, and Niger?
Why were ballot papers that voted for Atiku found mostly in Zamfara and Niger?
What made JEG won Adamawa(Atiku State) while he almost had in Bauchi where the state Gov is the regional cordinator?
Why did Jeg swept Ogun a State that produced two governorship candidate which is a clear indication of faction?
Why didn't they uphold the primary principle between former ogun speaker and Bankole?

MY SPEECH TO THE DELEGATES; IF I WAS ATIKU.
Fellow party loyalist,
Many thoughts have crossed my mind as much as they must have crossed yours since this process to ensure our party did not only come out victorious in the coming general elections but with some remarkable improvement in our promises to the masses and the will to fulfil such promises. My greatest concern is that we are able to present the best candidates available for every elective post we shall be contesting for in the election. So far I must say we have not disappointed the electorates in our choice of candidates which shall be evident in our much awaited victory under a free, fair and credible election that our party as the ruling party have proven to be committed to.

Nevertheless, there are issues that have shaped the polity of the moment which we can not ignore. As a people we are bound to exhibit differences and also give different interpretations to issues no matter how straight forward they are. This alone justifies the incredible debate that trails our various opinions on zoning which happens to be a fair arrangement within our party. Some of us thought it is a question of moral adhering strictly to previous arrangements even when the power and wit to do otherwise is unquestionable. Yet, that has been put to rest since we are now gathered today as one party to choose who represents us in the presidential race. I must make it clear to the oppositions that we are confident that whoever emerges tonight is the best candidates that will be available for the top most and challenging job of reforming our country to greatness among nations, (long pause as I expect a loud applause which will testify if they are following the content of my message) yet, we cannot overlook the fact that there is always the best among the best.(another long pause)

We are not ignorant of what our people quest for; they have often challenged us for good leadership. They want us to fix the economy. They want the power to run. They are concern about their security. They want to move freely and safely from one point to the other. They want to be adequately trained and given a chance to survive. They want to be gainfully employed. They want to be comfortable, protected under the law and be proud citizens of a great nation where GOOD THINGS HAPPEN. We can not keep telling them what they know but how we think these quests of theirs shall be met. I am confident that the road map which I am unveiling to the electorate is a formidable credential that is worthy of your consideration beyond other secondary issues like ethnicity and religion, and of course moral issue like zoning. In the course of the campaign we shall continue to unveil our plans to solving these problems as we have presented to you party members in the course of our various meetings to you.

Let me use this opportunity to reclaim that my most painful days are the days I spent being a non member of this formidable party. While I have the moral obligation to remain grateful to the medium that gave me political asylum while I was deliberately sent on exile by the power that be, many of you are not ignorant of the circumstances that pushed me out, which in a way was the brunt I bear for us all in our joint effort to fight against anarchy when it seemed some few but very powerful people were trying to unlawfully change the constitution to serve their selfish interests in the name of our party. It would have been a dirty blow on our party that prides itself as virtue of a democratised society. We can not therefore compare our party under that leadership and our party under this leadership that have upheld the true internal democratic virtues we all clamour for. While I take responsibility for my effort to taunt those minority that unjustly sent me out of our party whom I saw as a party within our party at the time, I do not think it was fair to have been tormented with that in many negative advertorial that were published to ensure we do not come back successfully to prove to the people that indeed our intention was pious, that we are indeed ambitious but not insensitive to the aspiration, agitation and yawning of the Nigerian masses which can best be accomplished in the kind of experience we posses both in the political and economic arenas.

I do respect every aspirant here today but I must say this is not the chance to pretend that this is not a job to be taken without adequate preparedness without some measure for the intrigue of sacrifice which I strongly but sadly believe have been placed far below the exploitation of intimidating strategies to appease our unconditional sentiment. Interestingly, I believe in your integrity, intelligence and courage to step forward and choose for the sake of our children who to represent you in the coming general election without any measure of ugly favouritism putting into consideration the strategies that might be employ by our opponents.
Thanks.

God bless us.
God bless our Party.
God bless our Country.
LET US MAKE GOOD THINGS HAPPEN.

Politics / About Re Branding Nigeria by AFOOooo(m): 7:09pm On Apr 09, 2009
The new manifestation of a branded Nigeria powered by the amiable Akunyili is really a worthy battle for integrity and a befitting image for this country. Some few months ago I posted a topic whose title I cannot remember now but I was emphatically renouncing the reality of the 2020 20 chorus. As diversionary as we are, somebody lambasted my reasoning that does not believe in anything our leaders are doing. I decided not to reply, but I know quite well that my belief is very genuine.

Today Madam Akunyili wants to re brand Nigeria, while I would want to belief that she is one of the few that can be sincere, I must express that I have also seen that her cause might not stand the test of time because she is carrying the right course through the wrong path. Madam should understand better as a true fighter of fake and counterfeit that no matter how good the packaging is, a bad product is a bad product and cannot be acceptable to the detriment of the people’s need. Yes, we need a good image but creating logo and putting it on screen and paper is not the first step in this course, it is like posting a well addressed envelope that has nothing in it, it is mere waste of time.

I will like that we begin to reach out to this noble woman that her course cannot succeed if there is no impressive change in the orientation we have imbibed and that the only way to tell a man his story is false is to tell the true story. Naira Lander who has the medium to directly or indirectly reach her personality should let her know that her course lies in the new generation and that she should build a team that will make real the concept of her imagination so that people can truly begin to see the beauty of this new Nigeria we keep dreaming about. Let madam create a new product out of Nigerians first before we start talking of an image that can after all speak for itself.

I think while we await a link between us and madam good minded nairalanders should begin to suggest how we can help this woman build of a remarkable concept that will perfect her new Nigeria desire. From my end, I think the first and the most important step is to create a resounding picture of how beautiful it is to be very good and patriotic Nigerians.

Politics / Re: Will Nigeria Welcome A True Reformer? by AFOOooo(m): 12:31am On Dec 24, 2008
Let me just find a way to relate your opinions by giving my impression as an individual. First nothing is really impossible and every nation whose leardership and political stability we adore today have passed through various ridiculous stages, challenges and upmost fustration.
I have read many writtings on the liberation of a people so dettered in their needs and obligations in the larger society and the years/generations they had to endure before their wishes manifested.
Even in the scriptures,Moses had to go on exile for years before he came back to manifest the purpose he was destined.

My question is if Nigeria will welome the arrival of a true reformer? I truly believe that when the time comes, our unconcious mind will accept this reality, our people would have been so tired of the usual insanity that sacrificing little for change will be inevitable. We only think this moment of salvation is quite impossible because a true reformer have not yet surfaced, when he does, the reality of our readiness will dawn on us all and the manifestation of that reality begins from you and me.

Thanks, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year to all proud and truly NIGERIAN
