kelvin1191: What is the meaning of this dream? I saw a fish pond, when i went to see the fingerlings in it, i saw frogs. The pond was filled with grass and the structure was badly done.

Well, it must have a Freudian connotation. The fish pond must represent a pen!s.

"Onweghi ihe mgbawara mere ikpu" (there is nothing the crack did to the vagi-na). Meaning there is nothing bad about the situation.

Why all this hype about Buhari? Do we always need to bring old politicians into prominence?
Let's give the old man a break. He was once the Head of State. If that was an achievement in itself, so be it.

I am from the southern part of the country. Do I hate Buhari? No. Will I support him to run for president again? No. We certainly deserve better as a country.

[quote author :=chuckdee4]A list which includes LMFAO isn't exactly one a presido should be proud to be part of[/quote]Thought LMFAO is the acronym for - laughing my **cking *rse off.

at last justice has been done. bin laden will die again!

Don't see the need to laugh when our young lads are being murdered in the North.

No. Dr Sylvester Ugo was Igbo yet Abiola won.

Hello guys, does anyone know the process involved/ how to ship a car from medicine hat,Alberta province of canada to nigeria? Any input will be greatly appreciated.

Waoh, this is great news! Incredible!

But,, Please, who's Wahab Dosunmu?
Is he one of the king-makers?

What are your projections in the coming political dispensation?

Here are mine;

1) There will be less litigation because of the more transparent system.
2) This will result in a more robust legal system- our legal gurus will less likely be enticed with undue largess from corrupt politicians.
3) The elected will be more accountable.
4) The electorate will know their worth- the real king-makers.


By the way, I'm in full support of PDP losing the parliamentary election.
However, Jonathan still remains my candidate for next Saturday's election.

tosinaded@:
security on point!

Cool dude. 9ja security.

Mr Poster,

I want to believe you are just joking.

Get it in your head that even if Nigeria is plated in gold, there will still be prostitutes.
Here in Europe where the governments are accountable, there are still thousands of prostitutes doing their 'business'.

What proof do you have that those girls are from Nigerian?
And what about the men getting 'serviced'?
Has that got anything to do with the European political parties?

Ha ha ha ha ha! Do you read THE SUN newspapers?

aisha2:
Our inec officials are already here

That's on a good note.

sartorius:
Tommorrow is going to be interesting for the very first time pdp would have a minor majority can and cpc  wud see higher no of honourables and senators. There wud be violence in some parts there wud be riggin and snatching of ballot boxes.hmmm someone actually offered me 3k to vote for his candidate @ a fuel station. I lectured him, but that money is tempting to the av nigerian o

Why don't you collect the 3k and still vote whoever you want to vote for?
Or is the money capable of tracking your vote?

april foooooooooooooooooooooooool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

april fool!!!

I you will need to pay here www.swgloballlc.com/ and open an ID. You can then pay and book an appointment with the embassy in Berlin.
I'm yet to apply for mine, but I don't think it's that difficult.
A friend of mine finished the entire process within 2 week.

Most Embassy staff tend to be rude, it's not only the nigerian embassy. I have had dealings with many embassies in the past, including the german embassy.

The Embassy should accept mastercard. Call them and confirm. Just be civil with them. Remember not to use "you must" when you are asking a favour from a nigerian. The Germans are fund of using such terms.

I doubt a child was eaten.
The feet of the onlookers didn't portray that.
I would expect a commotion type of atmosphere in such circumstance.
They seem to be enjoying the spectacle

Ohakim is a common criminal not worthy to hold a public office.
Even if he rigs the election, come next month, he will still lose.

Ohakim, the Usurper is a waste of space.
Is he not the same thug governor who goes about whipping Imo citizens and priests?
Is he not the rascal who has stolen Imo dry?
I am sure he's the same brat drying to blindfold Imo people?

Fallen is Ohakim!
His end has come.

I don't know why someone like Prof (Mrs) Onwuliri is working with the scum called Ohakim.

The Judge that sentenced Saro Wiwa and the Ogoni 8!. Remember, Saro Wiwa's life is not more sacrosanct than the other guys who were killed with him.

But the question on my mind is; Is Saro Wiwa in any way involvedd in the murder of the Ogoni Chiefs? If yes, , well. Abacha's reign was evil. Many innocent Nigerians were killed.

Buhari also erred in crucifying our young men on the stake for trivial offences. I'm sure the whole world also cried out at the time.

It's a shame she was confirmed.
To be fair to her though, most of our senators are more conversant with their bank accounts than the capital of Jigawa State and the national anthem.

Ambassador Yussuf was rejected because he could not tell the different between NEEDS and want (see link below).
In Nigeria, double standards are the order of the day.

Mai Suya:
''In reality, it appears''. . .a tad contradictory, don't you think?  

You are absolutely right there. My carelessness.

It appears he's trailing though. I have sampled opinions from a number of people (not very representative of every interest groups) back home. I can't stake my life on it since there wasn't enough sample to make a valid deduction. Be that as it may, there is every reason to believe that Buhari and his cohorts are on a web rampage.

Solomon227:
Na u wan swear for am? This time around rigging by PDP will be resisted vehemently, especially in the SW and the North and from all indications GEJ can eat grass for all these people care.

[size=24pt]Vote BB 2011[/size] for the future of our children

Hmmm, Buhari's popularity seems to be 'webometric'. In reality, it appears he is trailing Goodluck.

The man wont win one vote in the north.

Is it because he is a southerner, his lacklustre campaign (and manifesto) or his underperformance since he took over from Yar Adua? Perhaps, it's because the North needs to complete another term in the office?

With the heating up of political discussions and rivalry, it is obvious these are the times that our compatriots should remain steadfast in their political convictions. Let us not allow political rhetorics to sway us, Goodluck Jonathan for President!

We all agreed in 2003 that Buhari was not the best for president. Things haven't changed a lot since then. In my opinion, he hasn't changed. He is still a clueless aspirant and will be defeated in a free and fair election come next month. Chosing a southern evangelist doesn't make him less of an autocrat. His legacy is anything but plausible.

That having been said, if he wins the election next month, well, we his political opponents will rally round him and give his all the encouragements. All we need is a free and fair election.

Vote Goodluck!
Don't vote Ohakim!
Don't vote Theodre!
Vote Fashola!
Don't waste your votes compatriots!
Only vote able hands!

UPDATE 1-Nigeria's Jonathan wraps up campaign in Muslim north
Wed Mar 16, 2011 5:38pm GMT Print | Single Page [-] Text [+]
* Northern support key to chances of first round win


* Kano second most populous city after Lagos

* Northern elites fear marginalisation

(Recasts with quotes, colour from rally)

By Nick Tattersall

KANO, Nigeria, March 16 (Reuters) - Thousands of ruling party supporters flocked to a dusty polo ground in Nigeria's northern city of Kano on Wednesday for the penultimate leg of President Goodluck Jonathan's election campaign tour.

Securing support in this ancient Islamic city, Nigeria's second most populous after the southern commercial hub of Lagos, will be key if Jonathan, who is from the southern Niger Delta, is to clinch victory in the first round of the April polls.

As the incumbent, Jonathan is considered the front-runner, but his main rival, Muslim ex-military ruler Muhammadu Buhari, has strong grass roots support in many parts of the north and the opposition is hoping to force a run-off.
"We will unite this country, and run an open government that does not discriminate," Jonathan told the crowd, eschewing his usual fedora and kaftan for a red cap and white robes, the traditional dress of the northern Hausa-Fulani ethnic group.

"We are encouraged by the crowd we see here," he said, on the 35th stage of his tour of Nigeria's 36 states.

From Islamic police enforcing a ban on beer and prostitution to its centuries-old market and mosques, Kano feels like a different country to the pulsating southern sprawl of Lagos.
Its dusty, tree-lined streets and throngs of child beggars have more in common with the sleepy Sahelian cities of Niger or Chad than with Lagos in the south, a city built on hustle and home to some of Africa's largest firms and richest tycoons.

Jonathan inherited power after the death of late northern President Umaru Yar'Adua last year and some in the northern elite feel his victory would rob them of what should have been another four years in power for their region.



Buhari's reputation as a disciplinarian won respect from some, who lament the extent to which corruption has spread, and sits well with the conservatism of Kano, one of only four states where uniformed Islamic police are used to enforce sharia law.

He ruled Nigeria between December 1983 and August 1985, an iron-fisted administration best remembered for its "War Against Indiscipline", a campaign against graft in which politicians were jailed and drug traffickers executed.

"Buhari has a clean mind. He is a very religious and Godly person," said Hajia Hadisa Mohammed, 85, buying textiles in Kano's Kwari market, a labyrinth of narrow alleyways packed with stalls made of wooden lattice and corrugated iron roofs.

GRINDING POVERTY

Much is at stake in Kano and Nigeria's other northern cities. Jonathan must win at least 25 percent of the vote in two thirds of the states to clinch victory. The core north, along with opposition strongholds in the southwest, are seen as the most likely regions to prevent him succeeding.

Northern Muslims long pulled the strings of political power.

Four military rulers from the region led the country in the decade and a half before democracy was restored in 1999 but since the end of military rule, the upper echelons of the security forces have increasingly been staffed by southerners and some in the north fear being marginalised.

The south has the oil reserves and sea ports and is home to the headquarters of Nigeria's banks. Rapid economic growth has created a generation of independent wealth no longer so reliant on the political patronage once dispensed by northern strongmen.

On the streets of Kano, such rivalries are considered the preserve of the political elite. For most people in a region where industry and agriculture are in decline, more basic issues such as jobs and reliable electricity supply are the priorities.

"What we want is change. This government has failed us. Buhari is the only option," said Sagir Haruna at his market stall, surrounded by piles of fabric from India and China.

For many of Nigeria's 150 million people, scraping by on a few dollars a day, politics is a game played by the wealthy whose prize is control of oil revenues and government contracts and whose outcome has little impact on their daily lives.

Kano youths grabbed what they could from Jonathan's rally.

Moments after his convoy sped from the polo ground, there was a scramble to strip the podium on which he had spoken, scavenging valuable planks of wood, tearing material from the drapings and even ripping up the red carpet, part of which was offered to this correspondent for 1,000 naira ($6).

"I came with just my legs, but now I've got this," said Abubakar Sadiq, 21, carting off a large scaffolding poll.

"I will keep it in my house and think of Goodluck Jonathan whenever I look at it," he said, but then paused and added:

"Or maybe I'll sell it." (For full Reuters Africa coverage and to have your say on the top issues, visit: af.reuters.com/ ) (Additional reporting by Mike Oboh; Writing by Nick Tattersall; editing by Matthew Tostevin)
