I thought the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar
lll and Governor Kashim Shettima of Borno State, recently declared that the era of insecurity
caused by the spate of bombings and shootings
by the Boko Haram sect is over.
Or hv they changed their mind?

bakila:
@asoderock, the argument that the north is a parasite, is borne out of a very poor knowledge of the north or from those  who just left thier villages for Abuja. A part of the country that produces suya, meat, cereals, yam, paper, fish, beans, groundnut and a large market for other to trade and take the share of the norths oil allocation cannot be called parasite.

So why re only the Northeners  like Elrufai, IBB, David Mark etc making noise over the place, insisting that the unity of the country must be maintained if not for parasitism, or do they genuinely believe in united Nigeria?. If u re really serious like I said before convey ur mssg to ur elites, or better still mobilise northern youths to publicly make their pro SNC know. But I bet u won't do that.
The North can't just imagine existing without Delta oil.

Very interested in dis car, you can send pics now @ 22EA283B

The North is parasitic and will continue to opposes SNC. If OP is a sincere Pro SNC, I challenge him to direct his mssg to Northern political and religious elites.
The North is scared to shit at the prospect of living without Niger Deltan oil money

Well, today 14.02.12 I am on the road  travelling along Lagos-Benin highway, and the many road blocks and the accompanying 'roger' are still very much intact.
Ok when did he say the new directive will take effect?

It is only the mentally lazy that attribute intriguing circumstances to some voodoo, or witch related causes. That way, he doesn't have to delve into the intellectual demanding explanation of such a circumstance.
And someone still wonder why Africa continue to remain in the dark.

Talk is cheap. Mark is out of touch and completely disconnected with reality in Nigeria
We shall see.

The thought of PDP continuing to Rule the country wit no end in site is scary

At least here is a man who has come out frm the safety of computer keyboard to carry out real action. If we have 1m Bakares in dis country who are prepared to take real action, Nigeria will surely not remain the same and will definitely change for gud.

your easiest route is to take a masters degree course in mathematics in any university in nigeria.
80% of them work as assistant lecturers while doing their masters. . . . .but why teach math in the university?

are you attracted to uni babes?

I guessed ur advise should be it, but I hv also heard about, doing PGD first, even PGDE, ME and so on. Dat is why I decided to get authorised advise.

Fellow Nairalanders in Academics, I need ur professional advise on this. I have a first degree in Chemical Engineering, but have been working in an oil servicing firm for about 4 years now, but I have a great passion for teaching Mathematics, and that is one job I will be most fulfilled doing. Job satisfaction now matters to me much more than pay. My question is, what is the easiest path to achieving this noble goal without necessarily going to a take another first degree in maths? Can I take it for granted that I will land a teaching job in Mathematics in the University if I make this grand career change, as a first degree holder in Chem Engrn? Your Candid opinion is very much welcum.

I am very interested

If the senate really want to get to the bottom of the matter, let them mandate these marketers to release documents showing daily trucking of pms within the period under review. Such documents are always kept, let me point out that it will be easy to fish out inconsistencies incase you are thinking they will inflate the trucking rate. Beside an independent inspectors, witness and also keep same records as a standard practice. But will they really do this. sincerely?

What this man did to the 7000 or so Nigerians is not very different from what many so called 'Men of God' do to millions of Nigerians daily. Some people are simply too gullible to think for themselves.

Talking about removal of petroleum subsidies, that should be her no 1 priorities. If u understand what is happening in the downstream sector, no one will hesitate to call for its removal. A situation where a ship load of PMS berths, quantified, subsidy claimed, then with collaboration of PPRA, NPA and sometimes NAVY, the terminal owner backloads the products, take it back to the sea, latter bring it back as fresh product and claim yet another subsidy, then back loads again and maybe go and sell to Equatorial Guinea, Cameroun etc @ international prices, often x3 of susidised pump prize, the cycle continues. We are talking about billions of Naira in each of this cycle, since these ships carry at least upward of 20 million litres. The whole system stinks. I know because I work as pet Inspector in the industry.

@noblezone,
the bible says a thief comes to steal, kill and destroy. our politicians steal our funds kill us for rituals/to get to power and they destroy our educational system, medical system, roads, destroy our security by sharing guns and arms to us.
what buhari said is far from the reality because these politicians are more dangerous than boko haram and mend multiply by 100.
do u think that boko haram and mend will be in existence if not for our politicians.
were abiola, bola ige, funsho willians and other politicians killed by mend or boko haram.
you mentioned coup, how did ghana get back on their feet? if there is anything nigeria and nigerians need at this moment, it is a coup plotter who will come and kill all these high way robbers turn to politicians.
to me, nigerian politicians are next to devil.
how do u explain a situation where a nigerian goes home with over N15.9 a month and is refusing his fellow nigerian a token of just N18,000?
how do u define a situation where our politicians send their children to schools abroad and allow us to die ignorant here?
how do u explain a situation where i buy a transformer, buy cables, poles and meter, i have a generator and i buy fuel, oil and plug to mention but a few.  no electricity yet a devil thinks it wise to increase the electricity bills?
to me, your position is as a result of ignorance if not, u shld have known before now that boko haram and mend are in existence because we have a useless govt.
a little knowledge of political science will tell you that govt is a group of ppl tasked with the role of making rules and regulations guiding the actions of other citizens. what rules have our govt made to guide the actions of these groups or even u and i?
we are under the rules of devils(politicians) that gives families of dead corpers N5m. have u ever asked yourself, why is non of their children or families one of the benefactors of such goodwill?

To me you have said it all, and it is nothing short of the truth.
I won't be surprised that the government has hired propagandists in this forum to continue keeping people in the dark(Remember the over N800m paid to a PR firm just to tell people that Nigeria is good). And some so called educated ones keep buying into it.
I met one Abubarka recently where I went for inspection in a vessel, he just got a low profile job there, as we saw on TV about the latest menace of Boko Haram, he confessed he was a member until he got a job. I took it upon myself to interview him, he made it clear that the group arose because of continued currption that kept impoverishn the youths. I got an impression of a group that arose out of frustration, instead of Religion, and loosely constituted without much control @ the head. Offcourse it is more convinient for Government to emphasis more on their so called Islamic agenda, to divert attention and  get sympathy. Mind u I don't support violent of any kind against innocent civilians.

I am a Lagos based Ibo. I not only support BUHARI, but I actively campaign for him. Infact I have told any of my dependants who vote for GOODLUCK to forget my continous assistance.

Happy birthday man of INTEGRITY. Come to think of it, he is the most trusted current presidential aspirant, so why can't we all support him?

I just hope this thread does not cause anoda religious riot in the north.

We should be careful not to allow PDP to seize power yet again.

Whatever good intention GEJ may have, his compatriots in PDP will never let him succeed. Governance is a team work & the likes of OBJ, ANENIH etc being part of the team means failure. Corruption has been identified as a major cure for our several ills, & if we think GEJ will be bold enough to wage the war against those hands that fed him is a joke.
Nigeria @ this point needs a change, & GEJ is not that change. Let us give NR a chance, his shortcomings in speech is redeemable and I am certain that will change in time. GEJ is not fantastic at speeches either, despite having held an executive political position for a number of years.
Lets prioritize our need.

PDP should never be given a chance again. Remember this is the same chorus people were singing about UMYA -his good intentions, humility bla bla, we all know the result.

Fellow Nigerians be wise!

@post,
But you can agree there are a lot of 'committed men'.
Thing is, if you are worth commitment, men will commit to you.
Otherwise check yourself in & out-there is something you are probabily not doing right.
Just that many men will not tell you, and might decide to bleep a little longer.
Commitment cost men a lot, so only a truely deserving woman gets it!

Atiku Probably expected an applause 4 his yeye comment. I wonder why he can't get it into his thick skull that the rythm has changed.

Tackle corruption head on

Jakumo:
A group of trapped miners in Nigeria would be abandoned to their fate while the president of the country would call for national prayers and fasting. After sufficient time had elapsed for all the trapped victims to die, they would have been declared "National Heroes", and their families would be promised compensation which would be issued later, but diverted into the pockets of government officials.

Within 24 hours of the death of all victims,  internet 419 fraudsters would mass-mail millions of appeals for funds to feed the families of the departed, while the government would issue multi-million dollar contracts to Juju-magicians who would claim the ability to bring the dead men back to life.  Meanwhile printing presses would hurriedly churn out color calendars featuring photos of dead bodies, which would be claimed to be those of the dead miners.

Praise the Lord !

Funny, though the best bet

Become jobless. You will notice they will simply melt away because their interest is in your money

The 'ideal southerner' in me wants Ribadu. The realist in me wants Goodluck. Its simple; The time is now for us in the south. The desperation of these northern elements can not be seperated from the fact that they know that if Goodluck wins, it spells the end of the north's dominance. This may sound crude but it is the likes of Ciroma and Yakassai that really protecting the north's interest. If I were northern and not related or affiliated to V.P Sambo, I no go happy. Me sef go dey shout zoning. There's hardly anyone you can think of in the north that commands the type of respect and followership the likes of IBB, Atiku and Buhari enjoy. None. The remaining are just political jobbers, the equivalent of the current southern crop. However, the table's about to turn now. The country would definitely be better off with southerners in charge. Southerners will encourage merit better and thats why some northerners would be fine with the situation.

By the time Jonathan completes his 8 year tenure, IBB suppose don die or atleast too old, Atiku frankly is a spent force and Buhari has only goodwill from the northern masses. You should understand their pain, but shouldn't lose focus. We all want a better Nigeria, Goodluck is not necessarily the best we can offer, we stick together nonetheless so as to put the reactionary elements in the north in their true place. C'est fini.


The realist in me wants Goodluck to be there as President not only till 2015 but till 2019 except he can guarantee he would transfer power to another southerner preferably from the east. Walahi. From there, we can finally throw zoning where its supposed to be; the bin.


No beef with the north. Schooled there and all. In fact, I dey catch my trips for Kaduna and Kano{even with their sharia} well well. My fiancee is from the north too and i know some live niccas up there. What the candidacy of Goodluck offers us is the assurance that in a few years, there would be a level playing ground for us all whether southern or northern. Everybody should be happy about this; even northerners. If you're northern and you're not then it must be that you're among those dragging the north and the country back generally. If you're southern and you're not, then it must be that your I.T.K is preventing you from seeing the larger picture and you are among those that unconsciously aid and abet those determined to keep our country on its knees.

Good post!

If  it can be determined that GEJ actually called Okah urging him to persuade MEND to renounce the attack, it then shows how desperate, insincere & how not he represent the desired change in leadership we need, to move this country forward @ the moment. He would have certainly lost my vote should he go ahead to contest. It should be possible to establish this, since Okha is supposed to be under close monitoring.
