taharqa: You see d same HYPOCRITES who yterday were belitting d fanstatic job done by Julius Berger at d Abuja Stadium afta yrs of cross disrepair, are d same people mastur.bating over d sorry state of dis Lagos Stadium.... No Probs. GEJ is up to the task. He packs d Poo excreted by other Admins; thats is what he does. Repair works hv already started on this stadium. It wud be done just like d Abuja one. CERTAINLY. And be then concessioned out so as to ensure subsequent Maintenance. When it is done, we wud bring it here on NL..

pleep: The minimum wage is one of the worst laws in America. If you have a basic understanding of economics you would realize that a price floor (a minimum price for a product) creates a surplus in said product. This is because they are some positions that are simply not worth 10/hour.. so employers save money by not hiring people.

This is one of the chief causes of unemployment in the united states. If we had no minimum wage some people would be working for $4, 5, 6/hour, but atleast they would have jobs, not sitting at home on welfare smoking weed and producing children.

Idi Amin: You are very silly for saying that. How did Labaran fail as a journalist? People like you who never see good in others always remain "growthless". I bet you were busy drinking beer in a usel#ess bar when the young man denied himself of family commitment and embarked on GOOD GOVERNANCE TOUR of 36 states. Even if he enjoyed some allowances for the tour, the fact still remains that Maku is the most dedicated minister in this administration. Get busy with your little time and stop digging for mess where there is none

1MCN: Of course, I may be accused of being one of GEJ's apologists, but I patiently read thru this because I wanted to see how the writer wanted to convince his readers with concrete facts and figures that GEJ has been a woeful disappointment in this his tenure, but alas, I was disappointed. He extrapolated every claim in his writer, appealing to that same sentiment he's trying to write against. No hard facts, only sentiments.

It's foolish of me to say that GEJ has transformed all of Nigeria to a model modern society. No. But I'd be unfair if I say I've not personally been experiencing improvements in electric power supply at both home and office, that the Federal highways around my regular travel routes (PH, ABA, Imo, Delta, Edo, Lagos, Anambra, Bayelsa, etc) have not improved (except, for those who know it, the hellish Port Harcourt to Obigbo__Aba roda). We can hardly deny the improvements in the aviation (yes, they may not be the best, but if Femi Fani-Kayode had not left his duties as aviation minister to pursue ukwu nwanyi Owerri, we'd had some already existing stone to build on). We cant disputes the efforts of both Agric and Trades ministers. And indeed a few other sectors.

As for the noise about booting GEJ out, don't bother. It's just by a pocket size loud mouthed minority. If GEJ has performed dismally and has wholly lost public approval, no need for the call for him to jettison his 2nd term ambition. If he's a woe then opposition should rather hope he's fielded by the PDP.

Sincere 9gerian: Lol..How does that relate to the article or topic? If its giving you headache, you can create a thread for the subject matter so we can discuss it in details.

Baraje’s faction elects NWC members
Posted by: Yusuf Alli, Managing Editor, Northern Operation in News Update 3 hours ago

Despite the security siege at its national secretariat, the Abubakar Baraje faction of the Peoples Democratic Party on Monday ratified the election of its national officers.
Ahead of its reconvening on Tuesday, there is however pressure on ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo’s Peace Team to sanction the G-7 governors and all those behind the new PDP.
The list of the National Working Committee members was contained in a statement issued by its National Secretary, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola.
The statement said: “Despite the security siege at its national secretariat, the Abubakar Baraje- led Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP), has ratified the election of its national officers.
“The stakeholders of the party across the country at a meeting in Abuja have ratified the election of members of its National Working Committee.
“The NWC members are: Alhaji Abubakar Kawu Baraje, (Chairman); Dr. Sam Sam Jaja, (Deputy National Chairman); Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, (National Secretary); Hon. Maode Umar Hiliya (Deputy National Secretary).
“Others are Mr. Timi Frank (National Youth Leader); Hon Binta Koje, National woman leader; Mallam Nasir Issa (National Organising Secretary); Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze(National Publicity Secretary); Hon. Wadada (National Financial Secretary)and Mallam Tanko Isiaku Gomna (National Treasurer).
“The positions of National Auditor and that of National Legal Adviser which are zoned to the South East and South West respectfully will be announced soon.”
A reliable source, who spoke in confidence, said: “The presidency is insisting on sanction against the rebellious members to serve as deterrent to others.
“But the elders are of the opinion that the party should adopt no victor, no vanquished policy to move forward.
“This demand for sanction will top the resumption of peace talks in Abuja when Obasanjo’s team reconvenes.”

Sincere 9gerian: I'm not in support of oil theft BUT what you call oil theft is what Niger Delta people call HARVEST of the God given resources in their backyard, just like Zamfara people are mining the lead in their backyard. Until the people (I mean locals) take ownership of resources in their backyard, harvest and sell them, and pay taxes or royalties to the central govt, people will continue to harvest their share of their God given resources. If you call it oil theft, na you sabi.

Ngwakwe: The ACF was so wise in their choice of words but you have been so overwhelmed that South East is now your Nemesis.

Always try as much as possible to focus on the theme of the thread while separating your feelings and personal frustration from your contributions.
