Losers beauty contest.

egift: Anu Nkita, all we want is for him to do his job, get result, stop giving excuses and prosecute those looting the treasury and funding terror.

Dude, kill yourself waiting for people to pay obeisance to your false prophet.
Please allow me to shed some tears for you by the bucket or two:

Thats right; Nigerians marched, not your phucking Bakare.
We marched for our rights, not to reward anybody and certainly not because of your phucking Bakare.

You will never see the likes of ndu_chuks (and his 'angels') on threads like this. He only contributes to boko haram promoting threads, not the ones that strive for the betterment of the abused kids in his locality.

Lets shame him into attendance.

@egift
Tell GEJ to come and beg/worship you nau, just because you demonstrated.

What a ridiculous plonker.

egift: Beaf you are always quick to blame others for Jonathan's incompetence, tell us how old a problem or if those fail - you start name calling.

I even a decent pressure and tasking of Northern elites to not only draft plans to eliminate Boko Haram, but also be part of the execution and be responsible for activities in their domain.

Rather what we see is the possibility that FG is granting a free pass to people who may be connected to these killings. Believe me the Nigerian State have the power to at least KNOW them within Hours or few Days.

When kidnapping was rampant in the SE, were the leaders called for "consultation?"
The current lobby for consultation is because boko haram is a failed political tool. Keep lobbying, bro; its a losers game.

Aregbesola. King of RASCALS.

[quote author=ndu_chucks]My friend, we are talking about the incompetence of our current President GEJ and not about Yar'Adua (RIP) who has passed on. Your usual trick of trying to change the issue does not work with me, as you know.

If you wish shout Almajiri or core-North until your lose your voice, it will not make GEJ any more competent and it will still remain disgraceful that he had not brought the Sultan in for serious consultations up til now.[/quote]I asked you why Yar Adua, a Fulani from the core-North was not required to call a meeting of Arewa stakeholders to sort boko haram and you are wobbling, stumbling, stammering and staggering! Lol!
Your hidden intentions have been cut through like a hot knife through butter, opened up like a can of sardines. Tell your Sultan to stuff his "consultation."

Dude, GEJ does not need to consult with any phucker on boko haram. Period.

[quote author=ndu_chucks]One of the first actions GEJ should have taken was to round up ALL Northern leaders and brainstorm on how to effectively deal with the BH problem before it got out of hand. Obviously, that did not happen and no one found it urgent enough to to ask for the Sultan's help. Beaf stop pretending to be silly.[/quote]How come you demand that of GEJ, but you never accuse Yar Adua for not doing the same? Abi, did Yar Adua summon a meeting of all core-Northern political pretenders, or did he simply shoot the phucker called Yusuf?

Why the regional bias when it comes to GEJ?
If anything, the locals should have been concerned enough about their security and their peoples (if they give a damn) to freely volunteer themselves and their vaunted "services."
But they haven't because they are the sponsors.

There is also an almajiri problem of unimaginable magnitude in the core-North that has increasingly fed insecurity for decades. Does GEJ need to call the Sultan for a meeting to resolve this too?

Ridiculous.

I do not know when it became a reasonable solution to call those who are at the root of a problem for "consultation" when one has the upper hand. Let them beg and make desperate entrities for "consultation," because they are weak and losing their blood spilling battle for political control of the country.
Sir, your analysis is shocking in its poverty of logic.

Callotti: Oh yes o! She is already one smart cookie that cannot be pushed around and is gonna go places with her beauty and brains. . .like her mommma and all the females in her heritage on both sides of the family! No barreness. . .no widowhood! Praise da lord!

You've got really lovely legs and a sexy rump.
Respect to di man wen de deh, but biko nu, keep di pikin out of di firing line.

maclatunji: Except for the threat of militants and pirates. I think we should learn from the United Arab Emirates. Let foreign investors come and build the infrastructure whilst you the locals maintain security and order. It is not a difficult thing to figure out. I tire for Nigeria.

Foreign investors aren't needed to develop our waterways. All we need are inland ports and a well researched plan that interconnects the waterways with road, rail and air.
With a little effort, we can overcome our major transport problems and de-emphasise roads as the primary means of transporting heavy goods; the UK, for instance relied heavily on canal transport as an aid to their industrialisation. Serious thought should be given to rail and water (especially water - we are blessed with the Niger and Benue as waterway arteries to the entire country).

The kidnappers in Delta state were heard speaking Esan, which is a language from Northern Edo state. Similarly, the Anambra robbers most likely would have been speaking a language from a neighbouring state (aside from 100% Igbo states, it shares borders with Delta, Rivers and Kogi).

Sky Blue: Funny

If this has become a viable alternative then GREAT NEWS. I am a strong proponent for public transport, but would also be curious to see conditions inside the trains. There is obviously a demand so hopefully this would spur expansion - or the railway sector might just be another area crying for privatisation (with significant regulations on pricing)

Not just the railways, but the inland waterways as well. Streams and rivers are like free highways that are dirt cheap to ply and require little maintainance outside of pollution control.

When our eyes fully open in Nigeria, we would be shocked about how many opportunities we left lying fallow for decades, while spiralling into avoidable poverty and chaos.

[quote author=PROUD-IGBO]Are those cars i'm seeing parked on the platform ?

Obviously, health and safety is an alien concept to whoever is running the railways in Nigeria. Always re-active, and not prepared to do the right thing until someone dies from otherwise predictable/preventable causes.[/quote]You go fear fear for 9ja sha!
Its simply incredible!

[quote author=ndu_chucks]Its unbelievable, inexcusable, and criminal, that the Sultan has not been approached up till now. GEJ, your handlers keep making you appear like an incompetent C-in-C. Be watchful.[/quote]Are you saying that govt should approach the Sultan for dialogue or that boko haram should approach him? Asserting that GEJ should approach the Sultan to dialogue on behalf of boko haram actually means that the Sultan is either a member or is in personal contact with boko haram.

When you knuckleheads rush to critisize GEJ, you should be careful about the message you are sending. The Sultans stance is ambiguous enough already as it stands.

[size=14pt]Boko Haram: I will help mediate if I am approached - Sultan[/size]

Boko Haram: I will help mediate if I am approached- Sultan

On a blue throne in a whitewashed palace in the far northwest of Nigeria sits Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar, the spiritual leader of the country’s 80m Muslims.

As Sultan of Sokoto, he traces his moral authority back two centuries to when his direct ancestor Usman dan Fodio fought a jihad along the desert fringes, creating one of the most powerful empires south of the Sahara.

Today, Mr Abubakar has another jihad on his mind – though not one under his control. Until recently, an insurgency by the Islamist group Boko Haram was mostly concentrated in Nigeria’s remote northeast.

But having defied a military clampdown, it has spread across the country, attacking Kano, the north’s biggest city, in January, killing around 200 people.

The militants warned that Sokoto, the seat of the ancient caliphate, could be next.

Mr Abubakar, who before becoming Sultan in 2006 spent 31 years in the army, has beefed up his personal security. But he is under no illusion that guns alone can protect his city – or any in Nigeria.

“This problem cannot be solved by force,” he told the Financial Times in his palace in Sokoto. “What we need is dialogue.”

It’s a conclusion gaining currency as the human and economic cost of the insurgency mounts. Since July 2009, Boko Haram, which means “western education is forbidden”, has killed nearly 1,000 people, according to Human Rights Watch.

Strikes on police stations and government offices have broadened into attacks on churches and schools. Assassins on motorbikes with AK-47s hidden under their robes have been joined by suicide bombers, whose methods suggest links with global terror groups such as al-Qaeda in the Maghreb (AQIM).

Factor in issues elsewhere in the impoverished Sahel region, including turmoil in Mali and an influx of weapons from Libya, and it’s easy to understand alarm about where the insurgency could lead.

“The Sahel is a timebomb waiting to explode,” says Nuhu Ribadu, Nigeria’s former anti-corruption chief and presidential challenger. “It makes sense to engage them [Boko Haram] now.”

Boko Haram was formed a decade ago in Maiduguri, northeast Nigeria. Like previous anti-establishment groups in the north, the sect’s founder, Mohammed Yusuf, railed against corruption, inequality and injustice – failings the Sultan acknowledges.

“Without justice, there’s no good governance, which means no peace and no development,” said Mr Abubakar, who says authorities at all levels in the region have failed to “live up to their responsibilities to govern”.

Mr Yusuf’s aim was for strict Sharia to replace loosely applied Islamic law in the north and he built up a committed following. But when Boko Haram clashed with police in July 2009, he was arrested and executed, along with his father-in-law and dozens of followers.

The movement that emerged was no longer just a religious sect but an insurgent group bent on revenge. Under the command of one of Mr Yusuf’s deputies, Abubakar Shekau, militants began targeting security forces.

By last year, the frequency of attacks led to speculation that powerful figures in the majority Muslim north were assisting, or at least allowing, the insurgents to destabilise the country because a Christian southerner, President Goodluck Jonathan, had taken over the reins of power.

When Mr Jonathan was elected in early 2011, he did not appoint strong northerners to top positions, fuelling resentment. Politically and economically, the north had never been so weak.

“Northerners with the authority to challenge Boko Haram just looked on, because they did not feel part of Mr Jonathan’s team,” says Matthew Kukah, the catholic bishop of Sokoto.

Meanwhile, the insurgents’ methods – and targets – were evolving. In August last year, a suicide bomber blew up United Nations headquarters in the capital, Abuja, killing 25 people. US investigators concluded that the car bomber was well-trained and had used volatile explosives of a sort used in al-Qaeda strikes elsewhere.

The attack raised Boko Haram’s profile, even if little was yet known about the group. In the search for answers, Olusegun Obasanjo, the former president, travelled to Maiduguri.

“I wanted to know: is there really an organisation, is it well-led, does it have grievances and goals and is there any external involvement [from global jihadist groups]?” Mr Obasanjo told the FT.

After meeting relatives of the insurgents, he concluded that the answer to the first three questions was yes. “On external involvement, they said, ‘Maybe, but not much yet’,” Mr Obasanjo said. “My impression was that there was some technical involvement or funding.”

A western diplomat who follows the issue closely had a similar view. “There is some co-operation with AQIM, but Boko Haram still has a distinctly Nigerian agenda.”

Even so, analysts believe the group has several factions, including a new offshoot called Ansarul Muslimina Fi Biladis Sudan, which has criticised the main wing for spilling so much Nigerian blood.

Intelligence officials believe it was this group that killed a British and an Italian hostage in Sokoto during a raid to free them last month.

The diplomat said President Jonathan’s security advisors were coming round to the need for dialogue. Indeed, the government made tentative efforts to reach Boko Haram last month through Ahmed Datti, a northern cleric. Mr Datti withdrew after details were leaked to the media.

In Sokoto, the Sultan said he is now ready to help mediate. “If I am approached I will play a role,” he said.

Imagine the OP!

strangerf: Get a JOB! Dayokanu has nothing to do with it. A lot of people admire DK's courage and leadership on this forum, and they will come out to support him whenever it calls for it.

You mean a lot of people value worthlessness?

Comedy!

[quote author=olajide_07]Beef loves the heat! with all your previous point of views on GEJ emba nunuu! I doubt you would want to keep nigeria united even when the solution is very easy and simple good & honest governance[/quote]Dude, I said it is in my destiny to make Nigeria better (together or in pieces), and you bera believe it.

Musiwa, what were you trying to import? Stones, catapults or cutlasses?
Do you know what weapon means?

They are all cocky and Lewis is a better driver anyway.

[quote author=Musiwa,.]hmm, what lie. i just dont want to start talking.[/quote]Oh! Are you telling us that you never dodged a brain bullet?

Musiwa! Musiwa!! Musiwa!!!
Why do you lie like this?

Prompting him to "work harder" through smear campaigns is way over the top, bro.

Exponental: the title shld be anglican priest not anglican church.........
a pastor can justify why a thief shld pay title while d oda can counter it.
pls be more specific abeg.

He is the head of the Anglican Church, not an ordinary priest.
Again, here is the renovated church to keep things in perspective:

Ifemyke: I am very disappointed with Beaf and the rest in this country. I have no doubt that you are all youths. How can we have a brighter future
in this country if we continue to accept all these nonsense by our leaders. For God's sake President Jonathan is for everybody and not for
pdp or otuoke community.I find is hard to chew when people that are suppose to know better pretend and there by mortgage our future for
what they are gaining today. The church donation or renovation is stupid. Let the contractor go and complete his job at Niger bridge and
stop looking for unnecessary favors.And for those that raise their knife anytime President Jonathan is criticized, my advise is that
they should grow up. It is by constructive criticism that the govt in power will wake up.
CAN SOMEBODY TELL ME WHAT JONATHAN HAS ACHIEVED SO FAR? DONT TELL ME IT IS TOO EARLY. AND FOR YOUR INFORMATION , I EQUALLY VOTED FOR ME.

You have not said what you are dissapointed about, sir.
Anyway, this is the picture of the renovated church. Look at it, tell me how ACN concluded it can sit 2,500 people (amongst other lies) and lets take it from there. Maybe you will understand why both the church and public are angry at ACN. Deal?

[quote author=Musiwa,.]so you people were the one behind it.[/quote]Musiwa, do you remember when you dodged a brain bullet?
I think you didn't dodge it very well. In fact, it is a lie, there was no brain bullet.
If it is not a lie, then show the picture. If you have no brain bullet picture, then post satellite pictures.

Musiwa, why do you lie?

vinceobe: ACN is shouting wolf where there is none. I agree with the Bishop of the Anglican Church. The call for impeachnment of GEJ over a church building renovated for a community is not only SATANIC, PUERILE,FOOLISH AND ALSO DEMAGOGUERY. It exposes "LIE MOH" and the ACN as unserious, tribalistic and religious bigots. Enough is enough of these distractions from ACN and their clonies. Allow GEJ to succeed. At the end of the day the breeze would blow and we will all see the yash of ACN as a disorganized one man party with no serious internal democracy and not capable of winning any serious national election because of their tribalistic and primodal dispositions.

Brilliant!

The bolded has been repeated over and over to all that can hear, however ACN in their lack of wisdom have taken airheadedness to new lows by adding a religious dimension to their arsenal of low hanging fruits.
It is really saddening that a lack of internal democracy in the party has eroded all checks and balances that would have prevented such foolishness from ever being exposed publicly.

It is a sad day when a political party becomes an object of ridicule.

[quote author=ndu_chucks]The Primate of the Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion, Most Reverend Nicholas Okoh, is actually a fool and does not understand what is in the best interest of the Anglican Chucrh in Nigeria.

This Primate should have been smart enough to use his surrogates for these types of issues.[/quote]Dude, your comment sounds just like something the ACN would release. Forcefully loud, but pathetically empty.
