when a country foolishly decides to stand against the judgment of the ICJ, then only doom awaits that country and its inhabitants!

It is only in Africa that a President can single handedly hand over a part of their nation with consulting or getting approval from the people or the national assembly.

Sure most of them are to disagree, but i must say many of them believe The senate are right

The Aso Rock people shocked me to my bones when I discovered their uncommon appetite for food, as reflected in their budget of about $50,000 per day on entertainment alone

A budget of $50,000 a day is humongous. I remember entering the supermarket, TESCO, about two years ago to shop for a party and the bill came up to nearly one thousand pounds, and the store in Brent Cross could not authorise my visa card because, as I later learnt, it was an unusual purchase. Just imagine a budget of $50,000 every day, I will close down several shops and even be assigned a police escort.

Yet, nearly 50 years after attaining independence, we are unable to fix our roads, electricity, drinkable water, hospitals and schools. It is very tragic. Our civil servants mercilessly ravage the treasury, while the comatose nation haemorrhages at an alarming rate. Not even the King of Saudi Arabia or the Sultan of Brunei can outspend our public

Bakassi was given away by OBJ, not Nigerians.

No, because Nigeria agreed to be bound by the ruling of the ICJ.

The ICJ has already given its judgment on the issue,its time we abide by the decision

Let see where it leads. I don't imagine Yar'adua going to war with Cameroun, but if it happen, we would have our hand full. Nigeria cannot win that war.

The Ceding of Bakassi to Cameroun was one of the best things OBJ did

They just want to see a war so that they can sell billions of dollars worth of weapons

Just because presidential staff chop belle-full? Abeg, I think N1.3million is very modest. Have you considered the number of presidential guards and staff

about 70 percent of the amount appropriated by the National Assembly will be retur-ned to the treasury by December 31."

Robert Mugabe is not the best leader that we can have.

I want the president to leave - he has had his go, he has had his time.

But never will Mugabe be worse than Smith.

this is probably why the report says the budget for last year has not been exhausted.

Do not let us forget that United States still remains the biggest contributor when it comes to aiding African countries.

China's reluctance to revalue its currency and the sliding dollar had also come under the spotlight at two-day summit of G20 members.

China has been under mounting pressure from the United States and other trading partners to allow its tightly controlled yuan to strengthen to correct global trade imbalances.

A few days ago Nigeria's chief of police announced that his forces had killed 785 suspected armed robbers in the three months since he took office.

Human rights activists have called on the Nigerian government to open an independent inquiry into the number of people shot by the police.

The Minister of Finance, Dr.Shamsudeen Usman has been quoted as saying that he is considering transferring Nigerian’s $47 billion foreign currency reserve into Euros and other currencies.

In an interview with the Dow Jones Newspaper on Friday, Doctor Usman also said the Federal government plans to launch its own sovereign wealth fund next year as well as sanction newly created National Oil Company

lol at stolen care, thanks for the advice,
