Hon. Obahiadbon ought not to have jumped ship, he ought to have remained with the PDP. This should serve as a lesson to all those carpet crossers who jump from party to party without any definite ideology. Serves him well. The earlier he finds his way back to his base the PDP the better for him.

No. Nothing can ever justify stealing/lying. We are all living witnesses to those who looted our collective wealth under all manners of guises. We suffer, they enjoy.

No big deal. But one should be grateful for witnessing another day on mother earth. Perhaps it helps some to contemplate the next 365 days, but to me i contemplate my actions everyday. So no big deal.

The state government should not play to the gallery by delaying commencement of toll collection. It sure sends wrong signals to other investors who are closely watching/monitoring the outcome of this transaction. Let the government not renege. If however there are issues with amount charged, which ordinarily should have been spelt out in the original agreement, dialogue, and not shifting goal post after the goal has been scored(after the deed has been done), (typical Nigerian style) should be adopted.

Personally 2010 was one helluva year for me. To begin with, lots of things that remained elusive were accomplished/achieved. My health was good, family life was much better than previous years, business was good too, spirituality was okay as well. I'm confident that 2011 will only get better.

And to all who didn't experience their breaks (marriage, childbirth, employment, meaningful companion, good health etc) I can only pray for a better 2011 for you.

Bullseye. It's not worth all the troubles killing and looting to amass wealth. In the end, we will all not sleep in two rooms at once, neither can we wear two pair of shoes simultaneously. Food for thought. However, I remember vividly the source of this story. It is lifted from one of the publications of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society. Awake magazine to be precise.

My wife any day. A child is a child and will soon find his own missing rib, but wifey took a vow with me till death do us part.

I saw Yar'Dua at too. We played a game of tennis all day.

These attires looks foreign to me. More Zulu than Lagos, more Brazillian than Eko

Policy reversal remains the bane of Nigeria. In future, we hope there will be thorough consideration before we embark on any project at all.

Apology coming too little too late. They should go. We do not need them again. Will the apology repair the environment they despoiled, can it bring back Ken Saro Wiwa and the countless thousands murdered by Shell's guns? can the apology undo the harm/damaged caused man and the environment?

How can Drogba emerge ahead of Samuel Etoo Fills? na wuruwuru arrangement, the type that has kept Africa down the ladder of development. Etoo Fills is my Africa footballer of the year.

Governor Sylva should be thoroughly investigated and if found guilty, impeached and sentenced to jail. The Nger Delta people are not yet ready to develop, if they are by now the streets of Yenagoa, Amosuoma and the creeks of Ekeremor Sagbama and Patani should be boiling.

But this is no excuse for not practicing true federalism.

Interesting! Having exhausted the alphabets from A to Z, another round of name changing has commenced for Zain. A for Airtel. B for Barti. C for, wait for it.

But seriously, this will definitely affect the company's rating and perception as an unstable, unreliable company.

if only there will be electricity. I would not mind paying more, so long as it is available. I ve got two gen sets that alternate just so my and my baby could sleep at night. Imagine how much I spend on petrol, the same appliest to my neighbors.

They ain't seen nothing yet, this is just the begining. Who says Jo can't be a man of his own?

Bought mine in 2001, but can't remember how much. Little did we know then that it would be free today. Kudos to Engr. Ndukwe.

Hmn! Same old song, same old trick. They are all buying time, postponing the uprising of the proletariat, but it will surely come upon us all.

As for the list, i will wait until ministries are eventually allocated.

1. Dark secrets.

2. Financial infidelity

3. Extended Family interference

4. Unforgiving spirit

5. Flirting with other persons

These actions by men and women could destroy any relationship.

From experience no child is too young to be disciplined. Infact, training a child should start from infancy. I'm a living proof.

Let's focus on the topic please.

To a naive, inexperienced person, this sure calls for celebration. But to a discerning mind, no. Statistically, Nigeria is growing, but whta is the reality on ground?

1. No good governance.
2. No power
3. No infrastructure
4. No security
5. No social security
6. Plenty of manipulation/propaganda.
7. Human develoment indices zero.

Ibori's days as a freeman are numbered. Did we believe it when Bode george's case took off? I believe strongly that Ibori will land where Bode is. As for others like him, what happened to Bode will equally befall them all.

Leave Obasabnjo alone. We need him now to talk and tame the monsters he left behind. What has the people he left behind done? Nothing other than to steal and loot the treasury, and kill innocent people in the name of politics.

No place like home! Shade welcome home. May you find joy, comfort, security, and above all, acceptance by your kith and kin.

It's a pity that the Sultan could bring ethno/religious sentiments into a serious issue such as that unlawful/illegal/unconstitutional/criminal deployment of troops. The COAS should face the music, he failed to realize the transient nature of power, he was blind to reality. Since he took that risk to end his own career so be it. He should just go. He has failed Nigeria and Nigerians, he has failed the Army.

The decision is a welcome development to all. The COAS should follow suit. Since he is willing to sacrifide his career by comprommising his office, he should just go. They ain't seen nothing yet. The Governors Forum should prepare for the EFCC, very soon their dossiers will surface. By then, it will be battle to save their political life, they will not have sufficient time to pander to Turai's whims.

Na dem sabi, to me Lagos is gradually wearing a new look. By the way why did they not rate other cities in Nigeria? Bad belle people, dem no go succeed. Eko o ni baje!

Had the federal government not criminally neglected Lagos, this rating might have been different. By the way who be the sponsor for this rating, na wetin be their interest/motive?

We too will soon embark on rating some key institutions/infrastructures.

Bad belle people.

Jonathan can do little. Why? Çause our constitution is an impediment to performance. Bring an angels as president, then surround him with angels, it still will not work. So expect very little from Jonathan.

I did not expect more from YarÁdua, hence i'm not disappointed. Same attitude to Jonathan.

Valentine Day is definitely overated. The promoters of Valentine are businessmen who want to reap, and recover from the yuletide spending.

Can't wait for CAN 2010 to begin

Without a doubt, the most notorious road is the Lagos Badagry express way. You could spend 5 hours for a journey of 30 minutes. I have experienced that severally.

The road is also notorious for its' high rate of crime, especially around Ojo military cantonment/Volks bus stop. So many lives have been lost on that spot. I have had to abandon my car and fled to safety on numerous occassions.

We can't wait for the construction of the new road.

JustCash, thanx for being tenacious and constant in pointing out where the fault lies. As for our friends, i won't mention their names, but they know who they are and the interests they represent on Nairaland. It is their type that collude with the corrupt rulers to keep us down, with them, a handfull of porridge is enough for to sell their birth right. We are not perturbed by their presence, they are not the first. We know who they resemble in the governemnts of yesteryears in Nigeria, they will suffer the same shame that those ones are living with.

For sure it is a known fact that in every land/clime, the government must provide a condusive environment for growth and development. Where such is missing, the government has failed and have no business being in power.

Of course, the citizens too must be law abiding, but what law do the citizens obey, when their rulers are above the law? When the rulers rule by example, then the citizens will follow suit.

Welldone JustCash. keep it up.
