Mayor_of_Lagos: Please stop your nonsense. Did Nigeria own Texaco or Agip or any of these oil companies? Does Nigeria own Shell? So if Fashola becomes major share holder in Shell tomorrow you will say Tinubu sold it to him, right? Watch how you lie.

Dont waste your tym replying the guy, he has been copying and pasting this same post in to all Obasanjo/jonathan thread since yesterday. Obviously they are still aggrieved with the Yoruba's on the civil war, because i cant see any reason why there judgement could be so clouded with tribalitic sentiment on everything Jonathan.

mascot87: Sealed,so shall it be for you with your Amen

Lol

mascot87: For everyone that think GEJ is a very good
man and he is doing well as the president of

prayer that nay God govern your life and lead
your life the way GEJ is governing and
leading Nigeria and Nigerians

lanrexlan: It's necessary to recite Surah Al-Fatiha in the 3rd rakat of Salât Magrib and 3rd and 4th rakats of four units prayer.About reciting another Surah after Al-Fatiha in the 3rd and 4th rakat,I haven't seen a proof for that.So,I don't know if it invalidates the prayer or not and Allah knows best.

Tanx bro, u'v really help me

kettykin: OBJ is the worst tribalist , a false patriot and the worst bigot that has ever ruled Nigeria.

A check on the privatisation of the Oil Industry down stream companies when he greedily doubled as the Minister of petroleum and the president of the country (the vociferous Activist like the hypocrite femi falana, wole soyinka all kept quiet)

National oil now conoil was sold to Adenuga at less than the price of the company and yet obasanjo looked the other way
Agip petroleum now Oando was sold to Wale Tinubu at highly discounted price and the whole watch dogs kept mute
Texaco now MRS was sold to Dangote another of OBJ men
African Petroleum now Fort Oil or FO was sold to another of his kins men in the person of Mike Otedola

4 National oil companies 3 were sold to yorubas and 1 to hausa/fulani in a country that is as divers as nigeria and no body said anything or criticised the president even when the sales were fraudulently done

NICON insurance was sold to Jimoh Ibrahim even when he didn't have the cash and the still allowed him to buy Nigeria Airways from Virgin Nigeria

At the End of the day the crude oil owned by Niger Deltans were sold to Yorubas and dangote by the worst tribalist and bigot ever in the history of Mankind

if this is not worse than Apartheid then what can be worse than apartheid and the same devil that wanted a thrid term has the effontery to accuse Jonathan of dividing the country and going for a second term

Y are u repeating this same post in this thread, cant u tink of anything to say except these?

Reptyle: Does that even sound right to you?

Yes sir, or you can explain to me what sounds wrong with my post

Tukur stylishly threatening OBJ that if he is not careful he would be deal with

The National Chairman of the Peoples’
Democratic Party, (PDP), Bamanga Tukur has
responded to the letter written by former
president Olusegun Obasanjo to President
Goodluck Jonathan, advising him to ‘thread
with caution.’ Reactions have continued to trail the December 2nd letter Obasanjo wrote to the President, in which he
accused him of taking actions calculated at destroying
Nigeria. In a statement released by his media adviser, Mr.
Oliver Opara, the PDP chairmandescribed Obasanjo’s
allegations in the 18 page letter as ‘unfortunate and unexpected’. Alhaji Tukur further advised Obasanjo to thread with
caution over his personal attacks or vituperations
against his fellow elder statesmen and patriots
holding exalted positions in this country.

pls is it compulsory to recite only suratul Fatiah during 3rd rakat of magrib & 3rd nd 4th rakat of ishai prayer?
And what if i recite another Surah after Suratul fatiah does it make the prayer null?

The Presidency last night rose in defence of President Goodluck Jonathan for not speaking at the memorial service in honour of the former South African leader, Nelson Mandela in South Africa. The President had come under serious condemnation by critics in the social media, who wondered why he went to Johannesburg in the first place without rendering an oration in honour of Madiba as other world leaders did. But Presidential Spokesman, Dr Reuben Abating,
dismissed the attacks on the President as a classic case of much ado about nothing, as Jonathan was not billed to speak at the ceremony in the first place. According to Abati, only six out of the 100 world leaders at the event, were slated to speak and Jonathan was not one of those chosen to render any speech. “The late Madiba’s burial is not a United Nations
Debating session. It is what it is a burial: a solemn,
national ceremony,” Abati said. ” Leaders from all over the world attended the
Memorial Service to pay their last respects and to
identify with South Africans in their hour of grief. It
was certainly not meant to be an occasion for political
grandstanding or the waving of flags. “Out of about 100 world leaders who attended the
event today, only six spoke at the ceremony. It was
made clear at the occasion that the Chairman of the
AU Commission, Dr Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma will
speak on behalf of African leaders. And she did. “I do not agree that Nigeria was insulted in any way.
It was good that President Jonathan attended the
Memorial service and that Nigeria is in solidarity with
the South Africans. “If every leader who attended the service had been
asked to say a word, the event would not have ended.
There were many other leaders at the event, whose
countries have strong historical and political ties with
South Africa, but who did not speak. “I have not heard their compatriots crying like
babies. This is obviously a further indication of a rising,
minority tendency to read the negative into every
official item,”Abati said.

vislabraye: They do not sing the National Anthem.

I quite agree with them not singing the National Anthem, expecially this part:
I pledge to Nigeria my country, to be faithful, loyal and honest. To serve Nigeria will all my strength, to defend her unity, uphold her honour and glory, so help me God.”
“I pledge to Nigeria my country, to be faithful, loyal and honest…” Where? In a place where the only loyalty is to money and dishonesty is encouraged and thrives unchecked? “To serve Nigeria with all my strength…? Why? So that a small percentage can continue to exist in obscene wealth and comfort while the majority wallow in abject poverty? “To defend her unity…” Our unity has been polarised by socio-political issues that have taken on, and divided us along religious and ethnic lines. “To uphold her honour and glory…”For what? We dishonour ourselves and drag our glory in the mud on a daily basis both home and away.
Why make a vow to your country when we know most of us cant fulfil the vow?

silvaspecs: ur training there is basically a military-like training, fully regimented. you could be a successful sea-farer, a captain or could go into the Navy.

Keeping space in case it made it to front page

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
I was woken by the pilot's voice. In the drowsy hum of the aeroplane, his words crackled, and I thought I heard something about preparing to land. Could I have slept so long? I looked at the time. It was only three hours into the Lagos-Atlanta flight. The flight attendants were hurrying back and forth. The pilot was still speaking. "We have an emergency on board, and we have had to divert the flight to Dakar." I could feel the plane descending. It seemed too fast. A sweeping hollowness. My fog of sleep cleared instantly. Something was wrong, the pilot was too
cryptic, the flight attendants too blank-faced, snatching up cups, urging seats straight. I thought: if I die, I hope it's quick and I don't know.
The woman beside me crossed herself. The flight
attendants were already seated, and the cabin frozen in a bewildered silence, when the pilot's voice came back on.
It was a medical emergency, he said, a pregnant
passenger went into early labour and had just had a baby. I sensed, around me, a collective hush of relief and wonder. A baby delivered on the plane! We landed in Dakar. Medical personnel in orange vests hurried in, a man carrying a black box, a lanky woman dragging an IV stand, their eyes heavy with sleep. It was 2am; they had probably not imagined dealing with a newborn on a diverted flight. I wondered what the baby would need, and if they had what the baby would need.
Soon, the lanky woman left cradling a bundle
wrapped in cloth. The baby. I strained to see better, hoped I would hear it cry. Then the new mother emerged, a young woman with a tube dangling from her arm, and behind her came the other medical staff, trying to support her. But she didn't need him. She strode past, straight and steady, her movement so quick that I caught only a glimpse of her face before she left the plane. She looked stunned and frustrated. It seemed even more of a wonder to me, not only that
she just had a baby in midair but that there she was on her feet, normal and unhindered. The baby's birth had a heightened dramatic potential, which her ordinariness had somehow quelled.

The pilot came out of his cabin. A tall man with an
easy air, the kind of pilot whose aura suggests
competence. He told us it was a baby boy, and both mother and baby were fine. His American humour emerged. "Been flying a long time and this is a first for me!" The passengers – who were almost all Nigerian – laughed with a shared sense of delight, as though by being present we had somehow shared in bringing this baby into the world.
"The mother said she was 24 weeks gone but that baby looked full-term. Why would anybody take the risk?" An American flight attendant was baffled. We, the Nigerian passengers, were not. We did not ask why. As we waited for the flight to continue, boundaries blurred and friendships formed. The new mother was travelling alone, nobody knew her, and yet we felt as if we did. We speculated about her circumstances. She probably had visa problems, got her visa later than she'd planned, or perhaps she had
not planned it early enough, or perhaps the American option emerged late in her pregnancy, and she'd chosen to do what she had to do because the sparkling worthwhile end was an American-born baby. I thought of her expression as she exited the plane, more frustration than worry, a lament for the American baby that would now not be.
Some passengers joked about her poor luck. "Now she has a Senegalese baby!" one said. "A Senegalese passport is still better than a Nigerian," another countered. "They will give a Senegalese person a visa before giving a Nigerian." "Good that the baby waited for the flight to take off, do we even have the right emergency services in Lagos airport?" someone else asked. We chuckled. Goodwill swirled among us. Thank God it ended well, many people said, thank God.
Risk-taking was familiar to us. For too many in our
world, this was norm: the lack of choice and the
dependence on chance.
Again, the pilot's voice brought news. A tyre had
deflated, and the airline did not have the resources in Senegal to fix it in time. We would have to spend the night in Dakar. As we left the plane and got into buses, we sent text messages and grumbled about the inconvenience of arriving a day later than planned.
Still, the complaints about missed flight connections and important meetings were light-footed, because what mattered was that the birth had gone well and besides, someone said, who knew if the tyre would have deflated and caused landing problems in Atlanta? "Please my sister do you have any sleeping pills?" a stranger asked me.
I was struck by how quickly the passengers adapted. "The airline will pay for our breakfast but what about lunch tomorrow?" someone asked. Hopefully, the flight would have left by lunchtime, came the reply. Some passengers posed for pictures by the spurting hotel fountain. They had been delayed a day, but why miss a good photo opportunity in a fellow African city they might never otherwise have visited?
The next morning, slightly disorientated and starved of sleep, I skipped breakfast. When I finally went down to the lobby, most of the crew and passengers were gathered, waiting for the airport bus, faces dull and unrefreshed, voices a muted murmuring.
As I joined the group, a woman asked me if I had
heard. "Heard what?" I asked.
"The baby died."

JulianBond007: Your own whatsapp was up abi? Your mumu no get part 2. Tscheeew!

Guess u are really having a bad day

Bash92: Shortly after the 1998 death of
the country’s military ruler Sani Abacha, journalists
digging around the web exposed how Nigerian House speaker, Salisu Buhari, had forged his academic
credentials. The exposé led to Buhari’s 1999
resignation. Yet just ten days before Premium Times broke the
Elbit story in April, the administration of President
Goodluck Jonathan appointed Buhari to a federal position governing Nigerian universities. It is striking that the first major Nigerian politician
brought down by an online investigation is brought
back into federal government

Hmmm, Jonathan appointing a man with forged credentials to a federal position governing Nigerian universities and you say Nigeria education system will improve. Anything stupid our drunken president do from now on wont even suprise me

Staff from the Israeli weapons manufacturer Elbit have arrived in Nigeria to begin installing a mass Internet surveillance system that has been the focus of national outrage since first revealed in April, according to the Abuja-based newspaper Premium Times. Oglala Emanuel, who broke the original story in April, writes, “As the world battles the American
government over its invasive Prism project that has
snooped on Americans and other world leaders,
workers of Israeli defense electronics firm, Elbit
Systems, have quietly landed in Abuja, to install a
comprehensive spying facility that will help the Nigerian government spy on all online activities by its
citizens.” As part of the sale, a “team of about twenty Nigerian
intelligence officers are currently training” at
Elbit’s headquarters in Haifa to operate the Wise
Intelligent Technology (WIT) system. Nigeria, like most states, already had significant
capacity for mass data collection. In addition to
enhancing data collection, the WIT system allows the
Abuja authorities to analyze that data. The website Israel’s Homeland Security notes that “In recent years the traditional structured databases
of the past are being complemented by much bigger
repositories of unstructured data, information that has
never been tapped before — video surveillance,
satellite images, emails, social networks, Internet
pages, open source news, voice and data interception etc. Managing these new repositories requires new
systems, storing huge volumes of information and
able to retrieve specific pieces of data in an efficient
and timely manner.” As well as surveillance equipment, Elbit makes drones
that the Israeli army has used when attacking
civilians in Gaza. Control A state’s ability to control its population is
dependent on its capacity to analyze and interpret all
the data it records. This is where the WIT system will
come into play. Nigeria has significantly more Internet users than any
other African country. A variety of social movements, bloggers and journalists make extensive use of Internet technology. Shortly after the 1998 death of
the country’s military ruler Sani Abacha, journalists
digging around the web exposed how Nigerian House speaker, Salisu Buhari, had forged his academic
credentials. The exposé led to Buhari’s 1999
resignation. Yet just ten days before Premium Times broke the
Elbit story in April, the administration of President
Goodluck Jonathan appointed Buhari to a federal position governing Nigerian universities. It is striking that the first major Nigerian politician
brought down by an online investigation is brought
back into federal government as the Jonathan
administration hires an Israeli firm to take control of
Nigeria’s Internet. An earlier version of this post incorrectly dated Sani
Abacha’s death as 1999.
