Leaving the real issue (Boko Haram) to discuss that which is not related to your country (global warming) will make you look less reasonable. GOD BLESS MUGABE OF AFRICA

Did you have to scream so loud just to make a point? Learn not to betray your emotions in a power play ok.

Was Jonathan truly defeated by Buhari, the joke is on you.

mrmetoo1:
Men look at Obama, a world leader, boycotting Buhari. I hope God will dash some folks sense. These pictures below were taken a day after the so-called boycotted speech. This was attended by the president and important members of Obama's cabinet with Buhari as one of the main speakers. Again may God dash some of sense!!

OBAMA was like what's this abok* saying. he couldn't hear d daura dulla*d well

...another silly Jonathanian blog. A website which attaches 'USA' in its title to make it seem foreign with a sole aim to deceive the unsuspecting and the gullible. A 'USA' website that reports only Nigerian news about Buhari.

Lest I forget, the website blog is owned by a renown Jonathanian wailer known by the name, ANTHONY OBI OGBO, and he is the sole reporter, the CEO and the Editor in Chief etc etc. of the so called USA Guardian site

..And somebody actually expects some right thinking persons to read that long trash posted up there?

At some point, I thought he was talking to himself,” said Joel McHenry, another delegate, a Canadian-based observer who spoke to our newsroom.

EgusiSoup:
Aresa, I did not insult you, I only expressed a healthy scepticism about the symptoms of a kunu drunkard, which you just showed in response to what you just posted about a facial expression by Obama which obviously means ''I cant understand a word this dullard is saying'' and what comes out of the gutter you call mouth is an insult.

You should stop eating amala and ewedu, it reduces Sense in humans. Just an advice.

EgusiSoup:
you just sounded like someone that drinks kunu, no offence

PMB “ISIL is a serious threat to international peace and
security and should be treated as such. There can
be no half measures or expedient solutions in
dealing with terrorists and extremists. They respect
no laws, and have no regard to the sanctity of lives
and property. They operate outside law and must be
seen for what they are and dealt with appropriately.
”We need to take military action combined with
effective border security, intelligence collection and
sharing, and vigorous policing action,”

hinwazaka:
THE OP DOESN'T KNOW THAT OBAMA AND HIS DEMOCRAT COHORTS HAVE SINCE FIRED BUHARI AND HIS PARTY. HENCE WHY PMB IS BEGGING ON HIS HANDS AND KNEES, EVERY PRESIDENT FROM CHINA TO FRANCE TO KOREA. WITH THE WAY HE IS BEGGING, HE MIGHT SOON TURN TO PAUL BIYA FOR HELP.

hinwazaka:
THIS SAME PEOPLE WHO YOU SEE CHEERING HIM, WILL BE THE SAME PEOPLE CALLING FOR HIS HEAD, ONCE THE TABLES ARE TURNED ON HIM, NEXT YEAR. I HOPE YOU WILL ENJOY THE SANCTIONS THAT WILL BE SLAPPED ON US WHEN YOUR MESSIAH STARTS TO SHOW HIS TRUE COLOURS.

President Muhammadu Buhari, who is currently at the 70th General Assembly of the United Nations in New York, has been making speech at the Leaders’ Summit today, September 29.

Special adviser on media and publicity to the Nigerian president, Femi Adesina, shared some interesting photos on his Facebook account where the President of the United States, Barack Obama, has been paying close attention to what Buhari has been saying.

If your bigotry has blinded you to classify everyone who castigate the inhuman policies of our leaders as Biafra, then sorry for you.

For the last time, Omo Odua ni mi tokan-tokan and nothing else. Let that sink into your skull.

ACN turned APC rule of Lagos for sixteen years is a complete waste and the BIGGEST FRAUD in Africa.

I see you benefitted from the last administration of Tunde Fashola as a professional...I believe you worked for it?

South West is now totally insolvent, the only state saving its image is about to plunge into debt. Thief.nubus account balance is about to thriple

babestella:
I am not sure what this man is doing?

Where is our Finance minister to evaluate the implications of all these loans being granted at this time when oil prices is all time low. We are further going deep into debt and tomorrow they will tell Nigerians how much we are owing WB.

I hope the loans are not being approved only for APC states? The other day it was Edo state, now Lagos, maybe next will be Katsina.

World Bank Approves US$200 Million to Improve Public Finance and Investment Climate in Lagos
June 26, 2015



This operation is designed to assist Lagos State in its quest to continue its recent success in spite of the challenges brought on by rapid economic and population growth” says Marie Francoise Marie-Nelly, World Bank Country Director for Nigeria. “As an urban agglomeration that has reduced income inequality during double digit economic growth, Lagos is an example of inclusive growth in Nigeria. If the Lagos experience is sustained, there is strong potential for this type of inclusive growth to spread to other parts of Nigeria.

Fashola beats Jonathan in railway devt —Group


A socio-political group, Forward Nigeria Initiative, has described President Goodluck Jonathan’s railway reform as dubious, insisting that the light rail project of the Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, is a much bigger achievement.

The President of the group, Mr. Lai Omotola, said during an interview with journalists on Tuesday that Jonathan had only been able to refurbish a few coaches and tracks but did not buy modern trains.

He also berated Jonathan for saying Nigerians were not taking trains before his administration, insisting that thousands of Lagosians used trains every day.

Omotola said, “Of all the things that Jonathan has been doing, which area can we say marvels Nigerians? He has talked so much about rail but the transformation of the rail he is talking about is the rehabilitation of the tracks that have been in existence since the time of our colonial masters.

“After rehabilitating the tracks, he put locomotive trains on it; that is not transformation. But if the rail was turned into high-speed rail, then that would be transformation.

“If you compare Fashola’s railway transformation with that of Jonathan in the face of the cost and its impact, what Fashola is investing in that blue line is far more impressive than what Jonathan claims to be doing across the country.

“By the time Fashola completes the blue line, you will see elevated tracks. The tracks will run across the Marina lagoon. That is real transformation. It means you can be in your office in a high-rise building in Marina and see train operating over the water. That is what we call transformation, not locomotives on rehabilitated tracks.”

Lagos state is no longer buying the H5 and H6- series subway train, they have opted for the Chinese built train instead.

It should be noted that between 2010-2013, there was a lot of talk both officially and unofficially about Lagos State's desire to purchase refurbished subway cars from Toronto Metro for use in the ongoing Lagos Light Rail development. Blackborderbuild have been able to confirm however that the deal has failed to materialize with the H5 Car series of the Toronto Metro being scrapped entirely and only a few H6 Car Series remaining. LASG had initially planned to acquire 255 units of H5 and H6 trains.

It may be pontificated that the reason why LASG refused to go through with the contract and opt for Chinese EMUs (Electric Multiple Units) may be as a result of two issues

Firefire:
Buhari why ?

Two things are involved.

1. You are either paying back in style the money invested in your campaign or
2. You are attempting to redeem your image as a result of your evil deed during Pa Lateef Jankande era of you cancelling Lagos rail project.

However, the debt profile of Lagos state is getting too high, The highest debtor in Nigeria (both domestic and foreign) Lagos is now highly geared; don't tell me the Gearing Ratio is healthy compare to its liquidity.

Mortgaging our future generation must stop.

N160bn World Bank Loan on Light Rail Project and rail still in slow motion from Canada after 7 years of Fashola inspection.

Lagos EKO Secondary School Project Loan of $137 Million USD has no impact - Gone into tin air.

The school loan was followed by an approval of additional $200m to the state by World Bank to support the state reforms pertaining to fiscal sustainability, budget planning, budget execution and the investment climate.

All this Millions of Dollars Loans, Bonds and several other facilities despite the state high IGR which covers about 70% of its annual budget without recording what accrue to the state for the federation accounts.

Something is wrong and my people are not asking questions.

The Presidency should have acquired the complete schedule before traveling. They were sloppy and Prof should not pay for their sins.

OfoIgbo:
1. This is for Canada and not for Nigeria

2. We will also like to see the job description of a) foreign affairs minister b) foreign affair ministry c) Nigerian ambassador to the US d) Nigerian embassy in the US e) Secretary to the government of the federation f) the president, afterall he should be in charge of filling those positions with competent people

Providing the job desriptions of the above entities will help reveal whose fault this diplomatic quagmire truly is.

IbnIslam:
The decision by 83 senators to pass vote of confidence on Saraki is as good as daring Nigerians. Some may argue that Saraki is being witch hunted and that the case is still in court which is not totally false. But let's not forget the merit of the charges against him. In sane world he ought to have resigned on moral ground but here we are in shock as our senators openly declare by their actions that they don't see anything wrong with the desgrace the senate president has brought to the hallowed chambers.

It is now clear that corruption is fighting back. In as much as the principle of separation of power must be respected but on matters like this our senators should have acted with high moral standards. Shamelessly did they troop to the cbt in the name of solidarity aswell as hiring thugs to barricade the National Assembly today just to tell Nigerians that even if Saraki is a thief they don't care. Nigerian can go to hell is the message from our reps.

MayorofLagos:
What did you say??

Alright, I think it is time we sanction Ibos from the political section. You guys just dont get it!!


The UN is located in America but its grounds and campuses are considered international territory. The UN has its own police force. AMERICA has no jurisdiction on UN grounds.

Now, America itself has a rep in the UN. The UN rep is different from an Ambassadorial post but both are diplomatic missions.

The Nigerian Ambassador to the US is there to facilitate the needs of bilateral agreements between US and Nigeria people in areas of cultural exchange, business exchange, tourism, education, arts and so on.....

The Nigerian Perm Rep to UN is there to facilitate treaties between Nigerian Government and UN members and to be the face and facilitator when Nigeria interacts, inter-exchange, inter-play with peer Nations for military, state, humanitarian aid, development and peace accords.

One represent the people - Ambasador
The other represent the Sovereign - Perm Rep.

Dont ever make the mistake of confusing the two again.

lastpage:
Well said.

But pray tell me, whose duty is it, to "coordinate and communicate" for/to the President, in a UN general Assembly forum?

Am l wrong to say that Nigeria's UN. Permanent Rep (our UN ambassador) has A DUTY and RESPONSIBILITY to ensure that the President's itinerary is clear, unambiguous, well coordinated and communicated clearly to him as at when due?

That is the crux of the matter at hand.

If as the Director/CEO of a Bank, l go to a branch in another state and the branch Manager who is supposed to be my "ears and eyes" on ground, muddles up my schedules to the point that l miss "business dignitaries" that l am suppose to meet and strike business deals with or miss my "contemporary business dinners", l would fire him immediately and let someone who is "enthusiastic about their job" take over.
I have been there and know what l am saying here.

We have her types in other countries that the President has visited in recent times and these kind of lapses was not seen/heard of!
With six years on the job, she has no excuse to offer.... except Sabotage ofcourse.... and that is good enough!


Lastpag!

BTW: I find it amusing you mentioned those two books.... you must think l have read them, right!
Lovely, l like that though 'native intelligence' bares me out.

The Permanent Mission of Canada to the United Nations is part of the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada. We are the primary channel for communications between the Canadian government and the United Nations in New York City.

The Administrative Section supports the Mission’s diplomats and looks after security, personnel, procurement, travel and conference services.

The Mission also hosts and supports official delegations from Canada for conferences and special events such as the opening of the General Assembly each September.

Lhanre:
Why are people just deliberately ignoring the clear fact to make political point. A country's mission to an international organization is an advisory body to the head of government concerning all issues and dealings with that organization. Failure to identify and inform the government of the relevant meetings that needs to be attended is a failure of the mission in one of its most elementary duties. The head of mission and all its members involved directly or remotely should be recalled and remanded to desk duties at the foreign affairs ministry with close monitoring for the next five years. They have all apparently being sleeping at their duty post all these while.
