J12: SMH. So everything the US govt does is right?

Nope! but sending a message that condemn corruption is a good one. Elected officials get removed and proscecuted for mismanaging campaign fund (voluntary donations o), let alone public fund. Jesse Jackson Jr., son of the moronic Jesse Jackson Sr. that taught GEJ is going in a right direction was the latest culprit in Chicago. Imagine if it becomes so tough to launder money, wouldn't it limit how much they can steal from us, since corruption is the forth of every Nigerian Govt.

obadiah777: WHY CANT THESE DUMB AMERICANS BUILD HOUSES WITH BRICKS. WOODEN HOUSE ? WTF ? MAY AS WELL LIVE IN A LOG CABIN SMDH

Your ignorance no get part 2!

chris365: Good job by the US government. But i'll also like them to extend this fight to the likes of tinubu, obj and some other yoruba and hausa former thieves.

Tinubu has been invited to speek at the house of commons while he's not different from Odili that the same British government has jailed.

Makes me think there's hypocrisy somewhere or the British government is just being partial. just my opinion sha

They are not biased like us, if they found something, they surely will report it. It's either they are smarter thieves or there's nothing.

GEJ, see your life? while you go about harboring criminals like yourself,...US Govt' is fighting it for us.But it is now a case of lose-lose situation because the corrupt Balyesan Gov't cannot even try to claim the property.

As if they've ever honored one. PDP is a curse on Nigeria.

Akala + Ladoja, enemies of progress, they are still not satisfied with what they have stolen from Oyo state. Shameless Ladoja frolicking with Akala that defies any morality. You all are going to rot in jail.
"Ofo lomi efo n'se, Ofo le'e se tomotomo, e ni ku simi aso yin wa, awon oloriburuku omo ale!".
They think they can re-enact amala politics, it is long dead with your mentor baba Adedibu.
As an Ibadan, Oyo state indigene that recently visited home, Ajimobi has been the Governor that has done some work for the people in a long time. Oyo state has been perpetually raped by these Adedibu prodigees.

This military boys are taking too long to carry out the coup, it has never been this bad for Nigeria. Bunch of criminals at the elms of affair.

Jonathan and him people just dey s.t.upid sha! Person dey school una in the act of governance, una begin dey beef am.

Junkie(gbana smoker) journalism!!! $23 Million ko, $1 billion ni. Person wey be say one correct sniper go take out effortlessly. Wetin concern agbero with overload?

dgreat001: God have mercy!!!....imagine how two 'grown men' are feeling like retards......
Won't you be called a fool when you give money to some1 to buy you are TV and at the end the person requires you to pay b4 getting assess to watch it
I pity the Future of the Now.....#brainwashed n spoonfed generation

This argument does not hold water, they use tax payers money to build bridges that are tolled in a more developed society too. Stop it, you have the option of using the bridge or not. I live here in Houston, Sam Houston Beltway for example is tolled and built with tax payers money.

MiloRambaldi: Please don't let truth get in the way of your bias.

Building infrastructure has nothing to do with PDP or ACN. Akpabio in Akwa Ibom has built far more roads and bridges (not tolled, btw) than Fashola and he is PDP. They are a few other performing PDP governors as there are ACN duds too. Ideologically, there's little to choose between PDP, ACN, CPC, etc.

N250/N300 is too high as toll for this road, considering the straight alternate road is also tolled at N120/150.

Only the dishonest blind would reject removal of fuel subsidy and then applaud tolling of key roads without viable alternatives.

Then don't f.u.cking use IT!!!!! and sh.ut the h.e.ll up!!! dem force your car enter the road. Gaaaaarrrrrllllly!

People have been so used to bad governance that good governance irritate them, don't worry you'll all get used to it and get over it with time. This is the normal, the previous one is the abnormal. May God restore your normal psyche back for you, AMEN!!!

anonimi: You may wish to create a thread on that so those who are interested can contribute to your debate.

This is about Fashola's profligacy against the toiling, hard-working, over-taxed people of Lagos state with VERY LITTLE benefits to show for it.
#FriendlyAdvice.

Firstly, i must acknowledge that your written english is horrible. What do you mean by "Fashola's profligacy against the toiling, hard-working, over-taxed people of Lagos state with VERY LITTLE benefits to show for it." profligacy against toiling??
Do you mean building a beneficial bridge is profligacy? does plying the bridge and cutting commute time by 80% sound like a benefit to you? If you can't pay the toll, pls. stick to the free route and stop whining about paying tolls. Do you even pay any tax? what is the percentage of Lagos residents that pays tax? Look i can understand that some of you guys are so alienated from good governance,...you'll get used to it with time.

That's what i keep telling all Nigerians, don't accept every abberation dished at you by these illiterate so-called leaders....GO TO COURT!!! it is the right thing to do. I would be surprised if Fashola, a SAN himself fails to exercise his right to challenge anomalies in court.

Why e no go endorse Jang? When he no smart enough to understand say 19 big pass 16.
He has begun his Abacha trait, GEJ's fall will be so steep.

I'm surprised nobody noticed that names were not printed on the Nigerian jerseys. NFF still can't get it right, I saw the match but couldn't identify the players...it took long before I noticed Enyeama was substituted. Haba, how much be jersey?

Abeg which one be "buttery" area?

alexis: Stop been ignorant. The Hadith clarifies the context and I will be happy to debate those verses with you for their intended meaning and usage.

OK the knowledgeable one, i'm still waiting for the Hadiths that corroborate killing innocent people. Since you have studied other people's religion so much more than them. Remember to prepare for the defense of the seemingly violent verses in the bible if quoted out of context too, i've got a lot of that. Practise your religion in the way you have understood it and let me do the same, don't try to impose your understanding of my religion on me. Doing that will not make you any different from the the radical muslims we are all condemning.

Realjude: "And be not
weak hearted in pursuit of the
enemy; if you suffer pain, then
surely they (too) suffer pain as
you suffer pain..." Is pursuing
an injured and retreating
enemy really an act of self-
defense?
Quran (5:33) - "The
punishment of those who
wage war against Allah and
His messenger and strive to
make mischief in the land is
only this, that they should be
murdered or crucified or their
hands and their feet should be
cut off on opposite sides or
they should be imprisoned;
this shall be as a disgrace for
them in this world, and in the
hereafter they shall have a
grievous chastisement"
Quran (8:12) - "I will cast
terror into the hearts of those
who disbelieve. Therefore
strike off their heads and
strike off every fingertip of
them" No reasonable person
would interpret this to mean a
spiritual struggle.
Quran (8:15) - "O ye who
believe! When ye meet those
who disbelieve in battle, turn
not your backs to them.
(16)Whoso on that day turneth
his back to them, unless
maneuvering for battle or
intent to join a company, he
truly hath incurred wrath from
Allah, and his habitation will
be hell, a hapless journey's
end."
Quran (8:39) - "And fight with
them until there is no more
fitna (disorder, unbelief) and
religion should be only for
Allah" Some translations
interpret "fitna"
How I wish I have all the time to keep mentioning the passages in Koran that support killing of nonmuslims.

You are taking these verses out of context as usual. Did you bother reading the preceding and concluding verses? These were over 1600 years ago when muslims were persecuted on a regular basis. The holy prophet was exiled from his hometown by non-muslims, mainly idolaters because he was preaching islam. All the wars fought were in self defense. Do you honestly think this verse is telling muslims to do just that when they are not under any attack? Look, i can refer you to a lot of violent verses in the various versions of the bible and you'll be agaped. Stop attributing the atrocities of few confused criminals to islam. Isl

francis Newton: guy i've always believe dis nt until an islamic teacher based in australia was fumin in d mouth against muslems who dont pray for 'guys' which r workin for allah(e made mention of d militants in afganistan who stay outside under d cold without food or home to fight for allah) so guy forget dis or u kno more dan d islamic teacher whom people from every country in d world call for issues n advisee abegiiii e even said more power to dier elbow in dier fight for allah n against d unbelievers

I think you are opinionated already. Should i judge all christians by the indicted pastor that killed people in the East or by another one here in the United states that made all his followers commit suicide?
Many misconceptions exist with regards to Islam. Some of these misconceptions have arisen out of either intentional or accidental misreading of quranic texts taken out of context. Other misconceptions have arisen because muslims themselves have acted in ways, claiming to represent Islam or under the banner of islam, which are blatantly contrary to actual Islamic teachings. Islam teaches that muslims should act kindly, honestly, and honorably with everyone regardless of their religion.
Muslims follows the muslim holy book quran, a compilations of revelations from God through Angel Gabriel to Muhammed still in its pristine form since over 1600 years ago and hadiths, Muhammed (pbuh) sayings and reported way of life that should be emulated. There are a lot of weak hadiths out there which the chain of transmission cannot be authenticated and judgements (fatwa) pronounced by selfish, politically motivated, self-acclaimed religious authority from different countries. Tyrants and oppressive leaders such as Ahmeddinejan (+Ayyatollah) of Iran, Saddam of Iraq, Ghaddafi of Libya, Assad of Syria e.t.c have all claimed to be muslims where infact they have acted and implemented anti-islamic policies and ideas.
Unfortunately, the gifts of open mindedness, knowledge, understanding and wisdom have been substituted for narrowness, presumptiveness, bigotry and brashness. Too much hatred has been brewed from the dissemination, both accidental and intentional, of misinformation. I am a muslim that reads the quran everyday, it didn't tell me to go on a killing rampage or attempt to force others to practise my religion, it infact says there is no compulsion in religion. It also tells me that suicide is a capital sin, therefore condemning suicide bombing. The british guy and other terrorists that claim they are fighting for islam are sick criminals and they should be referred to as such.

Good God, these magazine is junk with junk stories written by junkies. Common guys, you think if there is any aota of truth in this story, it wouldn't have been blown open in all major news media? Seun, i hate to see your NL go down the drain like this. This is nothing but gibberish!!!

Y'all don't have the faculty to identify talent, shikena!!!
The best lyricist in the game, no borrow borrow style...proudly Naija.

But seriously, GEJ is taking the Abacha footstep....it's all about image laundrying...no results!
Check out Shonekan and Shagari...at their old age if they can't confront GEJ with the truth...at least boycott the charade to register your remonstrance. Posterity will judge you all!

OMG, this jobless, corrupt son of a gun has resumed his political prostitution in Nigeria. Who tha f.uc.k is Jesse Jackson to access GEJ's performance by some presentation of lies? a sorry a.ss self acclaimed political activitist...he was simply an errand boy to Dr Martin Luther King and has sinced been claiming a civil right activist. He is corrupt to stupor, his corrupt son was made to resign his House of Rep. seat and is on his way to jail for campaign fund mismanagement. Jesse Jackson has been doing this hob nobbing with every corrupt government in Nigeria. What a shame, GEJ has hit a new low. These are all the kind of tactics of deceit Abacha once used...remember what happened to him?

They forgot to mention the excellent security network we now have in Naija provided by Boko Haram in the North and the Kidnappers in the South East and South South. Just a case of a sad man licking honey mixed with sugar....na jedijedi go kill am.

obadiah777: THIS WOMAN NEED TO GO HOME AND LOOK AFTER HER 4 KIDS. THATS WHAT SHE NEED TO DO. SHE OUT HERE PLAYING CELEBRITY. SMDH

She is a celebrity!!! u no know? The nature of her job require that she leaves her family sometimes. Did her husband complain to you? Suck it up your whatever, and stop hating.

ewet: RIP madam,Your husbands legacy still lingers in Lagos with his secondary school modernisation program. All the public school buildings that dots the states were built by your husband.

With his money, right?

slimghost: And your point is? Its obvious you have comprehension problem. Am not disputing the validity of the election exercise, all i asked was "how did Amaechi become the NGF chairman in the first place?" but i guess you cant answer that. FYI, dude came there as a consensus candidate as no election was held (the constitution they adopted had no room for elections). But guess what, the power drunk fool rushed and amended the constitution giving room for elections and re-election without the consent of all the governors. Truth is, he came as a consensus candidate and now Jang is the NGF chairman as a consensus candidate too. Let him deal with it. One problem i have with you is that you always let your hatred for GEJ becloud your sense of reasoning.

Just curious, how come a consensus candidate lost an election we all saw in the video? Consensus means, 'We all agree", last time i checked 19 Governors of the "consensus" voted against him. Biko, lets argue intelligently.

I just hope all these hob-nobing with relevant and irrelevant US artistes translate to dollar for the Naija Artiste...otherwise "kini big deal". Someone thanked TuFace for making Nigeria proud!!! HOW?, singing with a street hustler turned terminator voiced artiste?. Na so D'Banj begin attachment with Kanye...Eyes still black for Naija o!!!

onila: WHAT AN iDIO-T!

he wants boko-haram to rule us again

Amaechi yr a traitor

?? Are you making any sense?? So, to you it's not about good governance, it's about where the president come from. So, if a good candidate from the North runs, you'll have a problrm with that. All Northerners are Boko Haram to you?
I honestly don't know who the real iDIO-T is, you or Amaechi?

Now i get it!!! these are Nigerian Governors? shouting like a kindergarten class in the absence of a teacher. Chei, no hope for this darn country.
