Umar is respected fellow. He says his mind always.

Let someone in India build a city and call it 'The New olokola'. lol.

exactly. good thinking.

What's in a name?

everything is in name!

this is branding, it allows people to respect or disprect you.

you think people want to come to Nigeria to live in NEW LONDON?

why did Donald Duke chicken out when OBJ/EFCC arm-twisted him during the PDP primaries?

Could there be something we dont know? Could this guy have pulled a clever FRAUD on his people?

TINAPA, Nigeria (Reuters) - In the minds of its creators, the Tinapa resort in southeastern Nigeria will rival Dubai or London as a shopping and trading paradise for rich and enterprising Nigerians.

In reality, about $340 million has been spent since 2005 but 80,000 square meters of pristine retail space lie empty, the silence broken only by the footsteps of a few security guards.

this is 34billion Naira down the drain.

Nigeria's biggest banks have invested in it, though the state of Cross River where the resort is located and the federal government have contributed more and are now heavily in debt

He said Tinapa would succeed because there was pent-up demand for it from affluent Nigerians who currently travel to Europe, the United States or Dubai on shopping holidays.

"Our target customers don't watch Nigerian television, they watch CNN. To them, Nigeria is not glamorous. We want them to associate Tinapa in their minds with Dubai or Paris," said Ndem.

The other key target group for Tinapa are Nigerian traders who take frequent flights to Dubai, India or China to buy goods which they bring back as luggage and sell at home

Thank you everyone who took part in this poll and posted on the thread.

what is the aims & objectives of this post?

How much do you plan to spend?

Wonder, Wonder, Wonder!!! Wonders shall never end, soon the lawyer will claim she was misquoted by the press that she never admit she was Damilola Akinlawon. Let's see the lawyers 'magic wand'

very sad country. yet people are in DARKNESS because of this iyabo.

until NIGERIANS go all out against these roques, there would be no progress.

wonder what OBAMA has said about WAR in his homeland; KENYA!!

New London is bringing USA , UK , canada or Europe to Africa.

I am afraid to disappoint you, this already FAILED on arrival.

For calling it NEW LONDON is already a failure.

when we africans ever learn to be original? make mistakes but improve of it but surely not calling it NEW LONDON.

it would look like london or toronto. i have not finished yet. no time on my hand.

there you go.

are you going to do with your 3000MW for 150million people?

Let the people have what they want simple!!

indeed just like your US allowed the Palestine to have 'HAMAS' as their democratically elected leader.
or
just like they allow Congo people to enjoy Patrice Lumumba their elected leader

Among them was a CIA-sponsored attempt to poison him, which may have come on orders from US. president Dwight Eisenhower.[9] CIA chemist Sidney Gottlieb was a key person in this by devising a poison resembling toothpaste.[10][11][12][13] However, the plan is said to have failed because the local CIA Station Chief, Larry Devlin, had a conscience issue and did not go forward

The reason is cause the people themselves have not had it in them to vote a woman or black man in to office

indeed after 500yrs of DEMOCRAZY.


ok. We will do same in naija.

IGBO & WOMEN should wait for another 500yrs to be PRESIDENT of NIGERIA

Cases endorsed for trial by Ribadu since his second term may be null and void - Presidency

No objection. Rule of Law at all time.

The ex-AGF AGABI speaks from the heart for the well meaning majority of Nigerians.

stop right there!

Agabi is trying to protect his LOOTS. Like OBJ boys none of the got picked-up by RIBADU.

With RIBADU gone, YARA-DULL can move on them.

Are they at war? Did the country ask you any kind of help? have we not done things far worse than this in our democracy? Do you know how many people that were killed just because of a local govt. election in Nigeria?

abeg make una dey think before writing

yes they are at WAR. Nigeria needs to save them from themselves.

But with only 85k standing army, we are no better than janjweed in DARFUR

Going back to Che,thank God nobody has argued that he was a democrat.

¨

and your US is democrat?

I wonder why they dont have 'communist party'

I wonder why after 500yrs no BLACKMAN has ever become President

I wonder why after 500yrs no WOMAN has ever become President even Pakistan better them.

please spare us.

What a moronic comment? Where in the world have ALL CORRUPT POLITICIANS been arrested before?

RIBADU should have arrested the BIG FISH and he would be praised:

BIG FISH:

OBJ
IBB
Annenih
Mantu
Bode
Ali
Iyabo
Obaseki

Let him start with above. He will recover more money than from Alam, Dariye, Tafa.

Mind you he has done nothing special. Abacha had 'FAILED BANK TRIBUNAL' and all corrupt BANK chief were in PRISON.

Presently, the Nigerian military is comprised of about 85,000 officers and men in the three services.

no wonder OBJ chicken out BAKKASSI to Cameroun.

even Benin Republic we over-run NIGERIA in 24hrs.

Nothing this country SABI do.

The Nigerian People, and majority believes the EFCC is by far the best Anti-graft agency

indeed. and what survery did you conduct? is that from EWU; one of RIBADU untouchables

@mazaje

why did you leave lovely Cyprus for cold Finland?

Just curious

Call a spade a spade if EFCC or RIBADU is for us all why the selective prosecuton? why are some case files being lost on transit? Why has Sen Iyabo not investigated since 2006 when her case was brought forward? Where is Odili and Co? Or are all these not in EFCC act to presecute?.Are they still looking for evidence?

You have nailed it on the head. end of story. bye RIBADU.

BigB1 give Nairalanders why we should be reforming a successful EFCC when there is an unsuccessful ICPC begging for reforms.

who determines what is successful?

If he were a "Black German national" in the 1930s,he won't be producing such driveling commentary.I'm sure there wouldn't have been internet access in the concentration camps where he would have been interned for being black.

if he were a 'RED INDIAN' when US was busy wiping and stealing their GOLD, he also wont be producing such.

You can get them in Bakhous Night In Ikoyi, Or Ali-Baba Ikeja Russian GIrls.
They cost 200$ / Night.

Trust me, Lagos & Calabar Girls Are Much Better.[/quote]günaydin.

how can that be possible? do they have work-permit or Nigeria citizenship?
and are these night clubs or brothels?

Its time for the US to do something now that its still localised before the kilings become widespread

No. It is time for NIGERIA to do something.

for once, we should take advantage of this situation and show our strength.

YaraDULL should call meeting of AU and organise 'ground forces' ready for deployment.

As the controversy over the legality of the re-appointment of Mallam Nuhu Ribadu as the chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) continues, THISDAY was informed last night that the Presidency was contemplating ways of “addressing the issue”.
THISDAY had reported yesterday that the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Chief Michael Aondoakaa, had raised the issue of the legality of Ribadu’s reappointment by the former president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, shortly before the end of his tenure on May 29, 2007.
Aondoakaa, it was reported, had noted that the appointment was not approved by the last Senate as required by Section 2 (3) of the EFCC Act which states: “The Chairman and members of the commission other than the ex-officio members shall be appointed by the President subject to the confirmation of the Senate.”
THISDAY had also reported that there was a petition before the Presidency which alleged that Ribadu’s re-appointment was illegal and that all the cases he endorsed for trial since his controversial second term commenced amounted to a nullity.
A Presidency source confirmed the new development to THISDAY last night, saying the president was “deeply worried” that due process was not followed in the re-appointment of Ribadu and wants to rectify the situation based on the legal advice of the AGF.

Gbosa!!

There is something fundamentally wrong with our make-up, our psyche. We are very, very, very EVIL.
AFRICANS, BLACKS, ARE VERY EVIL. I make bold to generalise, irrespective of what anybody will say

nobody is born EVIL!

africans basically lack GOOD education & opportunity.

those that went about killing people are:

1. drop-out
2. not gainfully employed

Note that the Poltical class delibrately created these people so they can use them as weapon against others.

I don't think if you were at the brunt of Hitler's pent up frustrations and wickedness (where you have to live in concentration camps to be eventually murdered in cold blood prior to starvation of you and your family because of your race/nationality) you would be writing what you just wrote.

and what about the 'RED INDIANs' that were wiped-out by US?

OBJ forgot to think with his brain and not his heart in choosing this man to succeed him.

is it his father throne?; choosing who to succeed him.

are we not suppose to be in democrazy??

This is worse than any corruption. its PLAN evil!

thats why all this problem started.
