Guy, do not underestimate state powers, FG can nationalize any company if they really want to. We are talking about national security here. Forget say Naija na sleeping giant.

Where in the world has a private foreign company been nationalized by any government on grounds of national security? If anything I think we shouldn't underestimate the powers of (rich) corporate organizations in influencing government decisions.

jabbok:
I don't know what the writer means by "Judge threatens".  However, I think the SA judge might be sarcastically giving Nigeria FG a dose of their own medicine. You remember that FG [b]threatened to nationalize MTN over Okah's case. [/b] So I think it is a case of threaten me, I threaten you too. 

Off topic but still I keep wondering where this ''threatened to nationalize MTN theory'' came from. How is this remotely possible? Nationalize a a private company?! Where has this been done before? How come if such an absurdity is feasible they never threatened to nationalize Shell or Chevron?


It is amazing; the human penchant for exaggeration.

Where are the GEJ aficionados now? The hole keeps getting bigger.

^^ I'm surprised no one has started a thread about this already. I'm I mistaken?

It is now official Dokpesi has been cleared by the SSS.

Why does the BBC and other international news company keep going to him for interviews for their technology stories if he is a fraud?

What recent interview has BBC or other international news company given him lately?

[quote author=~Bluetooth link=topic=534775.msg6972436#msg6972436 date=1287502045]Long story ! The question is ;does he have or not ? If NO .why did he address himself as a doctor ?[/quote]Rephrase that; why does he allow people to address him as a doctor?

_{Apparently he isn't one so closest thing is to be called one}

Here's what I suggest to people who are in need of a hero in the person of Philip Emeagwali : read the original post and the accompanying link!!

The United Nations should open up an agency whose aim is to see that the "Video Game Divide" is bridged. How can someone say that GTA IV is the most popular game in their country?

Ibro Yaya:
I don't know about the rest, but I know that Philip Emagwali never said he won a noble laureate prize in computing. He might have been nominated.
.

Is there even such a category in the Nobel awards?

Its a good thing people are made aware of this scam artist. He is a disgrace!

Its surprising that there are many anti Israelis here on NL.

Interesting early beginnings. Fast track to 2010 and a different story unfolds.

^^^^ Pray what do you mean by that?

Mobinga:
Who goes there sef?? Bullshit.  They should concentrate on their wars and stop being moronic  

You'd be amazed at the number of Nigerians who travel there for pilgrimage and business.

daralex007:
N10m only, this man thinks Nigerians are foolish.

Is it about who makes the biggest donation? Appreciate a good deed wherever you see it. If the intent was to provide some assistance or for political gain then thats an issue that will be handled between the donor and his Creator.

Campaign or no campaign at least the flood victims can find a little bit of succor with the donation (assuming it gets to them)

OK. End of thread.

Was there any direct flight from Nigeria to Israel? What airlines plied the said route?

Before everyone waxes lyrical on how wise and foresighted the mother was recall that the said girlfriend came to visit (albeit for a few days) its not like they were a live-in couple. The manner in which the mother chose to "correct" the situation was far from the best. None of the parties involved are infants, a talk about the whole thing would have been better.

By the way I think people should reread the original post again so they can get the story straight.

Mobinga:
@tomi sorry she's only into gaming veterans like moi

That means Mr. '11 Years of Active Gaming Journalism' gets to keep this one. :-)

I just had to say that.

Haha you want to underhype Black Ops? Well the game seems pretty hyped if you ask me and rightly so considering its being released under the bestselling COD IP. But I still think the genre (and this particular IP) is over crowded.

Why don't you like FPS?

Yes I agree the mother was out of line. It was not her place to walk the girl out like she did.

Dolemite:
Please don't say that, what's going on here both gaming mods against COD.

Its rather weird, they don't seem to like FPS games. Is that a criteria for becoming a mod here in NL?

@ OP please remind me, why was this thread created again?

oyb:
can beaf please try to articulate our federal govs exact position on this saga

was october 1 carried out by ibb and dokpesi using rougue mend elements

or

was it executed by Okah who according to asari dokubo inteneded to assasiante gej (and gave 5 days warning of this?   )

I think GEJ is completely clueless about who carried out the bombings and the way he has handled it so far is a PR disaster. His supporters find this realization very difficult so they wont admit it.

Maybe the mother was right to do what she did but no man can receive such a treatment and not loose face.

udezue:
Look into your maps for answers.

Maybe the power of his maps has come to an end, this is amazing. Those maps had the ability to explain virtually any puzzle or question about Nigerian politics.


What will become of Becomerich without his maps? Amazing times indeed.

oyb:
you forget the sa police originally released him for lack of evidence and only rearrested him at the insistence of the fg after their threat of nationalising mtn

A little off topic but I don't think the highlighted line is true. MTN is not even owned by the SA government, its a private company.

Mobinga:
@Dolemite stop teasing me lustfully
1 I hate FPS
2 There was a mission where you had to kill civilians at an airport, innit?
3 Are you actually a female? Don't lie

I take it you haven't played MW2 then? Just asking

This game is riding on a lot of anticipation and high expectations, Infinity Ward had better not disappoint, the genre is overcrowded now.

malone5923:
I'm not a FPS fan so I really don't care but some weekend headshots will be nice. Medal of Honor looks good.

Metacritic reviews for Medal of Honor; mostly average or slightly above average.

Onlytruth:


You see my point?

Most of the GEJ supporters have absolutely no clue what he should be doing. I bet you that most of these guys just want a president from Niger delta even if a lame duck one. That is my problem with Jonathan and his supporters.

They are yet to prove to me that he is worth sacrificing for. I wouldn't support him to just sit there and waste four yours, and then hand back to the north. You must demonstrate (not through hope and baseless optimism, but through actionable facts) that he is better than other candidates who can at least provide security to ALL parts of Nigeria.

By excusing Jonathan for his inaction in bringing bombing suspects in the Niger delta bombing cases to justice, they are indirectly saying that life is cheaper in Niger delta than in Abuja.

He did nothing when folks died in Niger delta through bombings, now he wakes up from his long sleep! For you to become a top runner, you must not be a cripple in the first place! That is my point.

Anyway, lets see how things unfold. I wouldn't cooperate with him if I were an Abuja person (indigene or resident), after all he should get the delta bombers first.

By the way, can you process the fact that we have many candidates in the race, and that we should at least examine each candidate closely? Why do you assume I am an IBB supporter?  As at today, I probably support Ribadu (for his guts!). A leader must have guts. I might even support another candidate tomorrow depending on how things unfold. 

Well said.
