Lebanese in London under the guise of protesting dictatorial tendencies of Goodluck Jonathan are out to tarnish the image of Nigeria abroad. The Labanese community in Nigeria who are known to be linked to power Nigerians are fighting back hard and equally promised to make Jonathan's time in office ungovernable

Abeg wey dat Nigerian babes... make i relax with some of the money

Sahara reporters fts perfectly into this. When Nigeria MIlitary makes some gains Sahara reporters will counter it and report it as a claim, but when boko strikes, Sahara will report it head on authenticating the facts behind the figures...

Faithfulness is relative. I have cheated out of curiosity how a lady who claims to be God fearing will react in the heat of the moment. The flesh usually takes over. My curiosity has equally led me to understand that marriage is not an infinite seal on faithfulness. It is just a complicated world. So never judge anybody till you are faced with similar situation and be able to pull through. The flesh is too weak. My God forgive us all.

Buhari cannot be trusted. This is a big problem. Too erratic for someone that seeks to lead a diverse society. Cried, lied too regional and shamelessly showing sentiment for blood thirsty boko haram group. Pathetic religious bigot.

At least Jonathan is not a bastard... It is claimed that prominent yoruba leaders are all bastards bearing another family name. Tinubu is not a Lagosian or a legitimate son of Tinubu and Obj is alleaged to be a bastard son of an igbo chief. Bastards everywhere.. Punch doing the bidding of bastards.

Boko haram strikes let us pray, joblessness - let us pray, accidents on bad roads -let us pray, stealing of goveermnet fund- let us pray etc. take action not pray. Our prayers are long answered because we are blessed with the most any country or mankind can ever ask God or Mother Nature for. Our problem is management. The question is how do we begin to deal with poor sense of maintainance and patriotism

Sirniyeh: Alert:
Lets all please pray to avert the revealing disaster of plan crash that may occur any moment from now. This is a serious matter!
The revelation portrayed that the crash will occur in the city and lots of innocent souls may be affect. Please, that's more reason to pray for God's intervention.
Shalom!
...
Prayer!
I engage all the ministering Angels to influence perfect change in the impending disaster. Mercy will prevail. Amen.
...........
Drop your prayer pls, no one knows who and who will be affected. The prayer of the righteous avails triumphatly.
...........

Chances that process will continually fail is why we manage risk. All that is required is for FAAN and all relevant agencies in NIgeria to be preoccupied with failure in order to mitigate risk of occurrences not prayers. So shut the f up and call out government agencies more than calling for vague prayers instigated through fear of th unknown.

onomeasike: [b]Mid-term report, a compendium of errors!

President Goodluck Jonathan marked the second year of his administration on Wednesday. He used the opportunity of the day that has come to be known as Democracy Day in Nigeria to present his mid-term report to Nigerians at an elaborate event held under tight security at the International Conference Centre, Abuja.

His two-year achievements were listed in a 234-page glossy book tagged, ‘The mid-term report of the transformation agenda (2011-2013)’. The book was formally presented by Jonathan before past Nigerian leaders, top government officials and friends of the country among others. Copies were distributed to all those in attendance.

The embarrassing thing about this document is that it is riddled with errors, mostly typographical. One expected that those who produced such an important national document would have been thorough in their work. They did not do this and it is rubbing off on the President of the most populous black nation who appended his signature on the book.

The most irritating of the errors is the title of the piece on the first and second pages of the book signed by the President. The title of the piece reads, ‘Forward’ instead of ‘Foreword’. Foreword is defined as a short introductory essay preceding the text of a book. More hit in this harvest of errors is the second book called ‘Executive summary of Part 1 of the mid-term report of the transformation agenda (2011-2013)’. Proofreaders cannot be said to have touched this 58-page document at all. The document is full of punctuation and typographical errors! Yours sincerely who scanned through the document for the purpose of extracting news items was confronted with unpardonable errors that are not expected inside such a national document. For instance, the sub-headline on page 13 reads ‘electoral progress’ instead of ‘electoral process’. On the second line, ‘meaningful’ was written as ‘eaningful’. The first word on line 3 reads ‘he’ instead of ‘the’.

Page 14 of that document is an eyesore. A critical look at the sub-headline, Outcome, revealed many errors. In line 4, ‘giving rise to’ was presented as ‘giving rise o’ and ‘outcomes’ was spelt as ‘out comes’. In line 8, ‘are now more’ came out meaninglessly as ‘re ow ore’. On page 15, ‘policy’ was spelt as ‘polcy’ in line 5 of the first paragraph.

The sub-headline, Corruption, on pages 20 and 21 is also corrupted with errors. In paragraph 3, ‘and’ reads as ‘n’. In paragraph 4, ‘the’ appeared as ‘he’ and ‘to’ appeared as ‘o’. In paragraph 9, ‘increasing’ was spelt as ‘ncreasing’ and ‘meant to’ came out as ‘eant o’.

On page 23, ‘south south’ appeared as ‘outh outh’ and ‘Promptly’ as ‘romptly’, among many other such errors. Though these two documents are meant to showcase the achievements of the current administration, the way they were produced would make one hide them from children, so they don’t pick wrong words from the books. The producers will do the nation a lot of good if they can quickly recall the copies in circulation (which may be impossible) and produce cleaner copies.

How about the substance of the documentation beyond typographically errors? While your observations may be right , it is myopic to focus on such frivolity than what the document was trying to communicate. Punch na where dem go see una b dis. Jagaban engineered. Yet dem children no fit pass law school and they claim to be intellectuals leading Yoruba people.

Godman_n: Oh, I see, the thread belongs to you. Paid agent of GEJ; aprt of the 40 laptops chap? Have fun spreading the lies

Where are the lies or you are so disgusted by progress. This country is ours not just for Gej or pdp. So take a chill pill before branding the poster a liar.

Orikinla: The poster is telling lies.

God help your senseless sense of patriotism ...

My wife and I do go clubbing once in a while. I do the lots she joins me every now and then and because there is nothing to hide, we thoroughly enjoy clubbing together and yes rumping after clubbing is the best.

Eko Ile: lol @ Facebook rejects carrying the likes they didn't get on Facebook to NL...

This is utterly pathetic and a new low even way way low below already very low Jonathan standard..


Smh...

Time will tell...

ndu_chucks: Creativity is usually not required to effectively criticize a failed program or process, for the failure is there for the person with the lowest possible IQ to identify. Similarly identifying Patriotism is not rocket science.

I'm of the opinion that if you cannot honestly say that you are a true Patriot or know in your heart that you are not doing your best of being Patriotic, then you are part of the problem you are lamenting about. If you are not satisfied with yourself that you have done your personal best to do your bit in reducing corruption, you remain part of the problem.

Why speak from both sides of your mouth. You can only make sense with one tongue. We are all part of the problem, but complacency cannot solve our problems. Writing about it is good enough as contributing something towards solving our problems.

They all came from one direction but fled from many exits; that is the faith of CPC and other devilish agents working hard to create a sense of insecurity in Nigeria.

Kewt: This is getting more interesting! At op any source?

Ode!!! Pointblank is the source. All stated here are facts driven by the guiding principles of the 1999 constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria.

Even if pointblank is speculating, I find this an interesting read because it is written based on facts. Ameachi ruthlessly took Omehia down but blundered when he contested the 2011 election. Elongation or reduction are all the same under law.

Goodluck Jonathan 2015 Click Like to Support A Man with Democratic Values

Jonathan the strategist. Silence is not stupidity...The most powerful man in the biggest black race country just woke up.

AK 48: So you killed igbos,my people.yet you come here to remind us how you kill us,our fathers and mother.

No igbo should vote for this man!

I will prefer you write no Nigerian because it is high time we stop playing regional cards. Let us as Nigerians shine our eyes and vote the best candidate into office.

The Northern and south western alliance is what Tinubu and Buhari are relying on as well as a hidden agenda o islamitise Nigeria.

5columnist: Wow... I think the Journalists are taking this man out of contest for trying to rationalise offerring of olive branch to Boko Haram as offerred to Niger-Delta militants and criminals. Nonetheless, it is absolutely unacceptable for leaders to play regional politics of "my people and their people". Buhari's utterance, if true, does not tell well about a man seeking to lead this country.

I agree but this is sad.

Former Head of State General Muhammadu Buhari has advised President Goodluck Jonathan to resign from office for his inability to tackle the security challenges facing the country.
“Jonathan should vacate and give way to competent hand to govern the country”, he said.
Speaking to newsmen in his residence in Daura town yesterday, General Buhari said the issue of security is a fundamental duty of any responsible government, but Jonathan failed to protect the lives and the properties of Nigerians since he assumed power.
“When the Niger Delta militants started their activities in the South-South, they were invited by the late President Umaru Yar’adua.
An aircraft was sent to them and their leaders met with the late President in Aso Rock and discussed issues. They were given money and a training scheme was introduced for their members. But when the Boko Haram emerged in the north members of the sect were killed,” General Buhari lamented.
“And when the police failed to address the insurgency, soldiers were invited and they captured the Boko Haram leader, Muhammad Yusuf alive and handed him over to police. But Yusuf was eventually killed, his in-law too was killed and their houses were demolished”, he said.
He said the murder of the Boko Haram leader however provoked his followers and that was what led the country to its present situation. He suggested that government should adopt a new approach that will end the insurgency without affecting the lives and properties of innocent people.
“In Bama and Baga towns, military personnel were reported to have been engaged in extortion and sometimes Molesting of women. And because a soldier was killed in Baga the whole town was sacked by military. This is not the best way military should have acted when they were sent to restore law and order in a town. How can a responsible government allow its people to be killed in this way,” he asked.
He warned that the police, SSS, army, navy and Air force should know how to conduct themselves and act professionally.
“The soldiers are not expected to go and sack a town because one of them is killed. They are expected to capture the culprits for prosecution. After all the soldiers are not meant to tackle internal crisis but when it is necessary they should act professionally.
“Whoever is sent to protect people should also protect their integrity. When the former England’s Prime Minister, Margret Thatcher decided to hold its political meeting in Brighton the security advised her to cancel the meeting because of the IRN rebellions, but she insisted and held the meeting. The hotel she was accommodated was bombed and some of her political associates were killed but soldiers did not condone the area and kill everybody there, rather they conducted themselves professionally,” Buhari said.
General Buhari, who condemned the imposition of state of emergency in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states, said state of emergency was not the best way to address insurgency in the three affected states and the country in general.
“Government cannot kill all the Boko Haram members. Government should rather arrest and prosecute the Boko Haram members. They should only be killed when they said clearly they wage war against their country like what happened during the civil war. And even during civil war we that fought in the war were given a copy of code of conduct book which guided us against killing innocent people”, he said

icebeatz: Please i want to know if anyone staying within or outside lagos state has spotted a really small (unmanned) object that looks like an helicopter or a really small cessna plane flying around lagos.

I have seen it twice around the ikeja metropolis (precisely isaac john street and computer village side).... it flies at a really low altitude and i havent been able to get a picture of it..... the first time i saw it, my brother actually made fun of me but on monday, while we were stuck in traffic light, we saw the same object again and this time before i could bring out my camera to snap, it was already lost among the tall buildings.

So i want to know if any nairalander seen the same object or if there is any explanation.....


i doubt its a toy cos i saw it the first time around computer village
and the second time withing G.R.A. ikeja. .
....

I saw it on Sunday and I actually thought it was a toy. Close to Exxon mobil building, it came from the waterside and I kept looking for the controller. Can this be a form of surveillance? If it is by who?
