Look at the history of these people and compare them to that of Africa. We've gone through a lot.

Kobojunkie:
I am definitely for taller buildings to help save land but that is not what he was probably referring to there. More times than not, when Nigerians think of cities, they think tall SHINY buildings which I suspect that is what @Horus was getting at.

I myself believe people need to be forced to pay more if they choose to build less than 3 storey homes in Lagos.

They change so much, I can't keep up

Here is the issue
Ebonyi - PDP
Anambra- APGA
[b]Abia - APGA[/b]Imo - PPA (later PDP)
Enugu - PDP

In answer to your comments above, Obama is a democrat. The National Rifle Association of America (powerful gun association/lobbying group) has always voted Republican, it would be foolish to have them endorse a democrat during a primary. Organisations vote along party lines to protect their interests and if they have to endorse a candidate during a primary then that means they are members of that party.
I listed the states above to show the maths, the SE is not PDP, why is an umbrella body endorsing a candidate during a primary? Just doesn't make sense. Maybe a little patience until primaries are over before making declarations would help.

bidemi12:
i stopped buying newspapers and novels a long time ago. All i need to keep me entertained is to keep abreast of the happenings in Nigeria. One week after the other is some obnoxious/vile but yet fantastic news from that God forsaken country. Can you imagine? Cameroun of all countries. . . . .kai

hmm the igbo replubican nature is excellent if the stay on their own or have their own country but in a nigerian state i am not too sure about that

Abagworo:
I hope it is not directed at me for copying and pasting a news article.The truth remains that an Igbo cannot be president anytime soon.

medjai:
you've lost it totally

@topic:
Lars and Sven Bender(twins) - Germany
Xabi and Mikel Alonso - Spain
Roberto and Dino Baggio - Italy

Anambra has an integrated development plan prepared with the help and expertise of the UN. I have a copy of it and I can upload it later if you want. Of course no plan is final, but we have something to start with. Every good plan is "living".

Beaf:
It is actually £6000.00 with an upper limit of £9000.00 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-11677862.
Even if we look at the £6000.00 figure which I'm sure no uni will charge, it isn't a small sum by any measure. The Uk is just screwing itself deeper and deeper into droppings, don't be shocked if in the next 15 - 20 years we are recieving British refugees and making yanga about it.

jason12345:
. . . . . . . lovely

to the onlytruth, beaf and asha 80s of this world. reason instead of being overly wise

alj harem:
aboki, u better listen to jason, and incline your ears to understanding

he is telling u the truth, and u are here saying he is naive, i ask who is naive, is it u that want to still vote for corrup people that are been recycled for us year in year out or a new intelligent person that would do things right
i think nigerians are not ready for change because of people that still want to keep voting for corrupt leader

when nigeria is ready, there would be a revolution,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,mark my words

jason12345:
as i said earlier, it is not naivety it is common sense. nigerians always think they are smart, that is way we fail to develop as a nation.

now, if a "political party" (which by the way, is a group of retarded, semi-illiterates) picks any of those candidates would you vote? pls be honest. do you think people who have invested billions in election rigging would be waiting to lose an election? do you think some of them do not want development? but when people are too "scared or smart" to vote for the good leaders then you have what the world calls nigeria.

they so called candidates are chosen by delegates (the same cabals).

jason12345:
the structure can only be changed by the voters! even if the election is rigged, do you not think the electorates would demand their elected's mandate? eg mko. we cannot just wait for something to happen or, "by chance we would elect a good leader" it is a false sense of security! what we should do is vote for someone that is not a product of the system not someone in the system itself.

jason12345:
you do not need to insult me do you for once think a product of a system can change the system? ? ? ? ?. look! the destiny of nigerians is in their hands! but when you openly sell your birth rights (votes) to a product of a corrupt cabal (obj and the northerners) do you really expect change? i personally think you should give it a thought and not insult to pass your message across

jason12345:
PAT UTOMI, WOLE SOYINKA, STEVE BRUCE,SOLUDO, IWELA* ETC. THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE LIKE THIS OUT THERE

jason12345:
Moreover, cant we elect someone new?? must it be a former vice-president? why not someone new? NAIJA!!!

jason12345:
my brother, you have always understood the politics in Nigeria. unfortunately, let see 2011 and 2015!
all ethnic groups can work to get in fairness in spirit and truth. but you have to get out of the system. GJ is part and parcel of the cabal. he was chosen by the cabal. he works for the cabal. i mean, he has never been elected to a political office. can't you sense opportunism? take your time to think about it . even as i am not in nigeria, i can sense it. the so called geopolitical zones can sense it.

before we can move forward, we have to elect someone OUT OF THE SYSTEM, OUT OF THE CABAL NOT IN IT!!!

Kobojunkie:
They need to get to the courts ASAP. No Pay since July?

netotse:
e sure me die say you never read the roadmap. . .when you read it we can discuss maturely, without your having to throw conjectures left right and centre. Heck the roadmap even lists how govt expects to achieve said 20,000MW, or are you saying you've read the roadmap and discovered that the plan isn't viable?

@all
jonathan's plan is heavily dependent on foreign investment on the power sector which in turn is heavily dependent on the reforms being successful.

by the way,

there's no legislation needed for the reforms(but then again, if y'all read the roadmap you'll know this)

we have 4000MW now, the NIPP is to provide circa 5000 out of the 20,000MW so what we need in four years is around 9000MW, it takes around 30months to complete a steam station(in sane times) i dont know how long you need for the EIA sha. Who's to say if 10 companies are willing to commit the necessary funds to construct a 1100MW station each it cant happen? when we say it's impossible, what are we basing that claim on? are we speaking from fact or we're speaking emotionally?

@kobojunkie
under jonathan, PHCN was able to best the record of highest actual power generation, it was 35XXMW set during OBJs time, but earlier this year they were able to achieve 37XXMW, what did he do differently? he made the gas available. Utorogu gas plant has been shut down for upgrading so it's expected that gas availabilty would be improved when it comes back on, but of course, if you had read the roadmap you'd know this.

It isn't magic, the roadmap is available, heck there's even a 56page summary for people that'd the whole document too large to read. It really doesn't speak well of individuals when they dont read the roadmap and proceed to mouth off at any given opportunity.

case in point: http://digitalizednigeria.com/directory/2010/11/09/tuc-seeks-core-investor-option-for-phcn/
in the link above the president of the TUC is quoted(on the 9th november) as saying that govt should not privatize the companies, that what government should do is get core investors and sell 51% of the companies, not a bad idea right?

but that's what exactly the government is planning to do , it's in the roadmap for crissakes(which came out august 28th or something), it means the nuisance didn't read the roadmap before he came to play to the gallery, and of course some mumu nigerians will be nodding their head and remarking on how the TUC president hit the nail on the head but govt never seems to listen to good suggestions.

i blame the government though, their PR is terrible, they're letting all sorts of quacks parade themselves as experts and feed the people all sorts of lies.

imagine the president of the 2nd most important workers union in nigeria being recorded making a fool out of himself in the media and they didn't take him up on it. . .smh. Make them just set me on all these quacks first. . .shior!

wesley80:
@excanny, U got me laughing with your comment, credit 2 u. FYI, I'm not Ikwerre, so u can guess again.
Secondly, I dont deny being Igbo, I realized d foolishness in doing so years ago. But I dont agree 2 being an Igbo just to score political/numerical or economic scores.
This thread waz supposed 2 be abt the achievements and challenges of Delta Igbos but inevitably was heading 2 the direction of the same old debate of Igbo political domination or lack of it, true federalism and the rest sick excuses for mental laziness. Una no dey tire?
