0merta: "As a leader of the modern cast, Awolowo has left Nigeria standards which are indelible, standards beside which future aspirants to public leadership can be eternally measured. He was firm, articulate, painstaking, and uncompromising. He was, for a long time, the only Nigerian leader who enunciated principles and played down personalities. He was a brilliant political administrator and a most erudite teacher. He not only identified himself wholly with the aspirations of the Yoruba people of Nigeria but also he was able to convince the Yoruba people of Nigeria that he and only he epitomized the highest point of their political aspirations and consciousness. He was loved, he was feared but above all he belonged to the people he professed to lead. At his death I had the singular honour of proposing for him the epitaph that has endured – ‘he was the best President that Nigeria never had’..."

0merta: "Awolowo was a leader of great Stature. He was a Leader who was eminently successful. That he did not fulfill a presidential ambition cannot detract from his leadership, and us, poor us, who were not his people, must continue, to regret that our own leaders (Nnamdi Azikiwe, Michael Okpara) had not led us as he did his people or achieved for us as he did for his people..."

- Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu (Because I am involved - 1998)

Simkreative: Abacha
U might call him the tyrant

But he is the true independence hero. He ignorantly gave Nigeria freedom from caliphate of sokoto in 1996

valmunich: You live in Asaba?

valmunich: Michael Faraday seriously needs to come And reside here in Asaba

anthoniaz: Ok.Thanks.I created a thread in the business section concerning this, though I only shared this link there. I have modified that post and uploaded pictures there.Thanks again.

anthoniaz: Ok.Thanks.Meaning I have to start a fresh right?

CityNG: While you do that may I suggest that you put together a starter kit and offer it for sale?

The ensuing questions will be where can I get so and so.

donroxy: I think she deserve such honour since she was the leading Consultant in the hospital and the rest heroine/hero can have the wards/units named after them for their heroic deed and greatest sacrifice !!

Rawani: What they fail to realise is that BH has graduated beyond petty bomb throwing and kidnapping, to a land-grabbing campaign aimed at establishing and expanding their islamic caliphate with no limit to scope, a la ISIL. Those girls are actually liabilities to their captors under their new modus operandi.

What they need are strategists and master planners that will help expand their territory to the furthest limits possible, the likes of Kabiru Sokoto that can take the campaign to the NW, yet the Nigerian authorities are playing right into their hands and anticipating praise for their gross and appalling naivety.

This was part of the plan all along, make the government desperate to earn some credibility as the elections approach, then blackmail it into shooting its own foot multiple times.

Oh what a clueless government we have.

(1) And seeing the multitudes, corruption went up into Aso Rock; and when he was set, the politicians came unto him;

(2) And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying:

(3) Blessed are the clueless in wisdom; for theirs is the Presidency of the nation.

(4) Blessed are they that rig elections, for they shall be elected.

(5) Blessed are the thieves; for they shall inherit the National Assembly.

(6) Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after public funds; for their accounts shall be filled.

(7) Blessed are the bribe-takers, for they shall obtain bigger bribes.

( Blessed are the Petroleum Ministers, for they shall loot trillions.

(9) Blessed are the bootlickers, for they shall be called the Federal Executhief Council.

(10) Blessed are they which are prosecuted for corruption's sake; for theirs is the kingdom of wealth.

(11) Blessed are ye, when EFCC shall invite you, and interrogate you, and bring all manner of charges against you, for my sake.

(12) Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad; for fat are your accounts in Swiss banks; for so they prosecuted the politicians which were before you.

(13) Ye are the thieves of the nation; but if the thief have lost his craftiness, wherewith shall he be looting? It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be charged to court, and be sentenced to prison.

(14) Ye are the liars of the nation, a lie that is carefully thought-out cannot be found out.

(15) Neither do politicians cook a big lie, and serve it to SaharaReporters, but to NTA; and it gives false hope unto all that watch the 9pm news.

(16) Let your gowns so flow before men, that they may see your big loots, and glorify your father which is in Ota.

(17) Think not that I am come to arrest the fuel marketers

(18) For verily I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one naira or one kobo shall not be left in the Federation account.

curiouses: How are you sure your commander is still alive? Who briefed you of his 'coming' video? It's imperative that we look beyond politics to deal with this revelation of yours. Cramjones is known to have first degree information on APC next move. This is more than assertion, there is a tie of allegiance between Boko Haram and APC.

cramjones: I will not accept the churning half truths of our military that exaggerates their gains, hereby makin president Jonathan look a bit less clueless.


We have on reliable intelligence that the evil blood sucking Haramite,

Abubakar Shekau is indeed alive. He will be putting up one of those his shameless videos in the coming days according to our (Boko Haram) intelligence sources.

ShehuAba: Oboy, you can twist issues. From arguing that SR is commendable or not to the purported friends of SR making some statements. As I said, you have nothing to say against my article, so why resorting to all these?

ShehuAba: I think you're the ignorant fellow here. I made an opinion and you have the guts to start asking foolish questions that have already been answered.
Is it now a crime to make an opinion known? The fact still remains that at this point you can't be asking me questions when you personally refuse to engage me intellectually.
Saying that I have an alternate moniker depicts the kind of person you are, because you do so, doesn't mean everybody does same.
