Mate, you know I would appreciate if you could show me you know better instead of showing me your level of ignorance by being rude.

P.S In what world does a president come out and give details of his security plans.

Lol! Sir, you are being rude to the majority of Nigerians by portraying us as stup!d to the outside World. When I read you guy's comments, I got so angry at the forceful display of ignorance that I would have immediately sacrificed the nearest goat (had there been one) to cleanse you folk.

Why talk loudly and forcefully about things you no absolutely nothing about? How would you describe a person that does that?

[quote author=Chyz* link=topic=755285.msg9108729#msg9108729 date=1315513682]Beaf, for real, what do you stand for? Do you have any shame? Serious dude, you need to reevaluate your life. You can keep living like this,man.[/quote]Reevaluate what? Are you an al qaeda agent?

norrisman:
@ beaf

Please answer this: Do we have an existing database of cars registered in Nigeria?

You tell us if there is one. Or wouldn't that help your "argument?"

Dauchman:


One more question do we now have CCTV on our roads in Nigeria? Or are the policemen going to carry hidden cameras so they can get a glimpse of who has driven a car. What about our corrupt officials who would happily hand out more than one license plate to an individual.

What about the fact that the car would have been stolen by the suicide bomber? apparently he would not go to the police and say i stole a car to bomb the country.

C'mon we are smarter than this. I can give a million flaws. Like someone correctly said we should start with data on citizens, cause this would not help us catch a single terrorist but rather help our inept police and security forces harass innocent citizens.

Lol! . . .Any "reason" at all to remain backward is useful for some.

@ beaf

Ordinary Sweetshops and foodstalls have databases and you are sat in your rat infested, barbwire barricaded, diesel generator powered house thinking it is a big deal. I sorry sorry o, i sorry for Nigeria. I can do you a simple database in about half an hour.

Oh! You would code a database for google or NASA in half an hour? Infantile and absolutely foolish gibberish.

I guess you are one of those cut and join developers that has learnt to write the most basic crap. Your post is really id!otic.
I bet only a fool would think they can do an enterprise database in one month, talk-less of half an hour.

I wouldn't even interview your type, cos you've shown that you are empty.

Princek12:
And you think your ad hominem attack, which is devoid of any reasoning, is worthy of being shown to a toddler? It is tragedy when a fool thinks the wise person is the fool, or when the insane thinks the sane is the insane. Go see a pastor.

My attack wasn't meant to reason with you. What on Earth made you think it was?
I read your post and was totally disgusted and ashamed, because foreigners use NL too. I don't want them thinking Nigerians are id!ots.

For your own good, if you don't know something, wisdom says to keep shtum.

norrisman:
@ Beaf

So database na big thing for your eye! Chei my peole have suffered. can you answer this question please: Is there an existing database of vehicles registered in Nigeria? if there is, why launch another one?

Yes, it is. Only a fool would think a database is a minor thing; but then, you know your type, all full of gas.
Dude, its your call if you prefer the stone age to the modern World; the rest of us are very happily developing and moving on.

ideylaff:
@werepeLeri,  i wont engage you in an immature manner cos I'm a cultured and well manner person.

One lesson is that when you are in a faceless environment and diagree with someones views, you can still hold you own without bn rude or
uncouth.

We are no fools so GEJ cannot fool us with all these spreadsheet called a database [/b]business please

The govt has announced they are creating a [b]database.
Most fools know the difference between a spreadsheet and a database. So why do ambiguities exist in your mind?

norrisman:
I am not in a position to go to FRSC so can you help or maybe you havent got a clue and you are just tripping on the word database. database no be big thing like that o!

A database is not a big thing?
What is the mental calibre of some NLers?

Dauchman:
I just have one question.

How does a database of cars and it's owners help curb or reduce terrorism? Someone please educate me.

At the press of a button, you can know every single person that has ever owned a particular car, where they lived and when. You also have their photo.
The above aside, you can have a trace of every person that has been at the wheel of the car each time the police have stopped it.

Of course there is much more (use your imagination, its a rich resource), but if you think none of the above can help fight terrorism, then you can't be helped.

Princek12: This database is stupidity at its finest. This is why we need true federalism in Nigeria, as the federal government of Nigeria apparently does not know its roles and all to often invades the territory that is traditionally reserved for the states.

Vehicle registration is a state function, so why in the hell will the FG launch a database to monitor vehicles registered by states? Why should the FG care about state vehicle registration? It is not practical for the FG to monitor all the vehicle in each state.

The FG should make a database for its citizens, immigrants, and secure our borders. The FG should deregulate the power sector and worry about fixing federal roads, federal airports, passports, visas, and so on. The passport office probably does not have a database of passport holders.

This okrika mentality sef

I would be thoroughly ashamed to show this post to a toddler. I wonder if some people post, not out of knowledge or any sort of intelligence, but simply because they can type? Its disgraceful.
Why is the default response of many "educated" Nigerians an emission of loud rubbish that makes little sense? Believe me, nobody looks kindly on a person who dissents loudly for the sake of the loudness of the noise they make.

Nigeria's real problem is citizen culture and awareness, not any of the things we beat to death like corruption and underdevelopment. If a countries citizenry is mentally wretched, that country is headed for the lagoon. How do you help or develop people that refuse to be helped or developed?

Sharia was first introduced in Nigeria to checkmate Obasanjo, in the same way boko haram was taken over by powerful core-Northern forces out of bitterness at the loss of the 2011 elections.

With its its new links to al qaeda, boko haram has however become a monster set to swallow its political masters. Their calculation has totally backfired, and now, instead of putting pressure on GEJ, they have put pressure on themselves, it is certain now that no core-Northerner will ever rule Nigeria again until Islamic extremism has been totally brought under control in the country.
The bombing of the UN has awoken the World to the facts of extremist Islam and al qaeda's presence in Nigeria. Make no mistake about it, Nigeria's political landscape will never be the same again; boko haram has spooked the powers and their scorched earth reaction to attack is well known.

At this time, I pity any core-Northern politician or office holder with the slightest right-wing tendencies. I strongly pity the likes of Buhari.

[size=14pt]An al-Qaida offshoot in Nigeria a rising threat to U.S. and its allies[/size]
By Segun Adeoye
September 11, 2011

The killing of Osama bin Laden, leader of al-Qaida, by a team of U.S. military SEALs dealt a huge blow to the terror group's operations, but groups sympathetic to its goals have continued to sprawl unabated, even in Africa, and especially Nigeria, which has not been considered a hotbed for global terrorism acttivities.

Up in the northeastern part of Nigeria, the jihadist activities of the Jama'atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda'awati wal-Jihad, an extremist Islamic group whose ideology is fueled by those of al-Qaida, has grown since 2002, when it began to establish its presence in the region. In the international community, the group is known simply as "Boko Haram" — a name that speaks to forbidding the establishment and propagation of Western education, culture, and, by extension, freedom and democracy — the same ideals al-Qaida fights against.

The rise of Boko Haram is yet another warning signal to the West. Because it demonstrates how quickly an al-Qaida offshoot can spwan, develop andultimately present a threat to the "host" country as well as the United States and its allies.

Their activities immediately sent a chill down the spines of the Nigerian state authorities and the people in the community, which dubbed the group "Nigerian Taliban." From Kanama, the desert town where the group had its base, Boko Haram in 2003 pushed further into major cities, including Maiduguri and Damaturu, the capital cities of Borno and Yobe states, respectively. It grew with one message — to kill any "unbeliever" in uniform, and a call to "rise up for Jihad."

It took a concerted effort by the Nigerian army to quell their activities, and to restore relative calm. That was in 2003, and since then the group has metamorphosed from about 70 Islamic extremists into a force that is gaining ground, numbers and momentum. In doing so, it has introduced into Nigerian society a style of operation hitherto unheard of — the suicide bombing.

In June, barely a month after the country's inspector-general of police, Hafiz Ringim, boasted of his resolve and commitment to root out the terrorist sect, the group executed a suicide bombing attack at the police headquarters in Abuja, the country's capital. Hafiz Ringim was the target — and he barely escaped. But three people were killed, property was destroyed and the country's security apparatus suffered a major embrrassment.

Just last month, a suicide car bomber blew up the United Nations compound in Abuja. That attack killed 16 people, and it served notice on Nigeria — and the international community.

It's such a lapse in security that al-Qaida capitalizes on, in order to spread its tentacles through such affiliate groups like Boko Haram, and other similar groups across the Sahara desert, which encompasses Mauritania, Mali, Republic of Niger, and Morocco.

Generally, Boko Haram seems to be targeting those segments of society the terrorists believe have inclination to Western values and lifestyles. Northern politicians have also been targets of the group, as well as churches, political groups, and pretty much anyone perceived to be working with the state against those who believe Sharia Law cannot be the law of the land.

The littany of gruesome attacks executed by Boko Haram have left Nigerians terrorized as, between 2009 and 2011, the group executed attacks that led to deaths of hundreds of people.

On July 11, for example, the University of Maiduguri in Borno State was closed down due to security concerns over possible attacks. A day before, the All Christian Fellowship Church in Suleija, Niger State, also in the northern part of the country, was bombed, leading to the deaths of two people. Seven days earlier, 20 people were killed after a bombing attack by the sect at a beer garden in Maiduguri. When its members besieged the Maiduguri jail, they succeeded in setting free about 700 inmates.

The series of bombings that took place in several states across the country on May 29, the day the current president, Goodluck Jonathan, had his inauguration, all had the imprints of Boko Haram's style of attack.

Ironically, all this follows the second anniversary of the killing of Boko Haram's leader, Mohammed Yusuf, on July 30, 2009, while in police custody. Yusuf was believed to have received financial assistance from an al-Qaida group in Sudan, which allowed him to recruit young men to his organization.

The killing of Yusuf, however, raised more questions than answers. While on the surface, his death can be taken as good riddance, the circumstances — he was unarmed and reportedly posed no threat when he was shot dead — raise suspicions.

Some believe that the summary execution of Yusuf was a premeditated act to silence him from exposing some supporters and financiers of his group, even within Nigeria. Speculation that highly-placed individuals in the country are giving covert support to the group receives more weight considering the fact that members of the group have, after his death, remained emboldened. In fact, the sect recently demanded an apology from the former governor of Borno, Ali Modu Sheriff, whose term ended on May 29. And in a show of solidarity, buoyed by "peace and brotherhood," Sheriff obliged.

"I wish to publicly tender my apology to the Jama'atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda'awati wal-Jihad," he wrote in his apology made public to the press. "It is human to err, but divine to forgive."

Where might the support come from? It is common for wealthy individuals in the country to make donations to Koranic schools. Plus, the high prevalence of chronic poverty in the region has made young minds to be fertile grounds for planting Islamic extremist views, like those of al-Qaida.

The grave concern is that a formidable al-Qaida sleeper cell is gradually gaining roots across sub-Saharan Africa. The porous Nigerian borders have made it a ready haven for sympathizers to the views of Boko Haram, who are quick to exploit security lapses in the country. Revelations that some arrested members of the sect were Somalis have also added credibility to suspected links to Islamic extremist groups in Somalia. Some members of Boko Haram are believed to have undergone training in Somalia.

Until recently, activities of the group have been in the northeastern region of the country. But its avowed opposition to Western lifestyle, and support for Sharia Law in place of state law, has seen it extend its activities down south, including the suicide bombing of the police headquarters in Abuja.

So far, there has been little sign of success in efforts by the Nigerian authorities to clamp down on the sect. One major obstacle has been the lack of cooperation among locals in providing information about the group's hideouts, for fear of being attacked. Such fears are not misplaced, as there have been attacks on Islamic clerics who dared to criticize the sect for its extreme Islamic views.

The creeping destabilization of the region, no doubt, portends grave danger to the war on terror, and by extension, the global economy. Speculation is rife that the sect might launch attacks on the country's oil facilities, which increasingly are important to the United States.

Nigeria ranks seventh among the top oil producing countries, with about 2,172 barrels produced per day as of this year, according to the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries. Nigeria is an OPEC member. Apart from this, with a population of 150 million people, the country is unquestionably the largest market for investment in sub-Saharan Africa.

Americans may not closely follow what happens in Africa or Nigeria. But that doesn't make Nigeria any less a growing battlefront in the global war on terror.

Ironically, the rise of Boko Haram comes as the threat from another militant group dwindles. In the oil-producing southeast, a group calling itself the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta has in recent times disrupted oil production. In response, the Nigerian government ended up difusing the tension, in part, with an amnesty program aimed at disarming members of the group, in return for money and vocational training for unschooled youth. The process has brought about relative calm in the Niger Delta region.

The rigid, belligerent ideology of the Boko Haram sect has, however, made it difficult for the Nigeria authorities to adopt a similar approach. The sect believes the country is being ruled by "unbelievers."

So, Nigeria, a country only half a century old and one still experimenting with a democratic system is now been thrust into the spotlight, as a result of the growing influence of Boko Haram. The international community is increasingly concerned and watches closely to see if the country does not turn out to be a fertile base for al-Qaida.

So do Nigerians.

efisher:
@Koruji, you took your own bullet! You are obviously from the SW and would see OPC in a different light from others. That should explain Beaf's argument that MEND is also not a terrorist group.

The bolded explains it all. There is absolutely no reason for double standards when it comes to name-calling and labelling.

koruji:
Perhaps you are thinking that I see the ND struggle as terrorism. Nothing can be farther from the truth, and I thought that was clear from my replies.

ND militants have a legitimate basis for their rebellion, however many of their acts increasingly crossed into terrorism territory.

OPC does not even come close to being a rebel organization and even referring to OPC as militant is a little bit of an exagerration - the capability to quickly become militant is there however, and frankly the way Nigeria is going I hope they get ready. However, that is not an endorsement of any acts of terrorism - which is something that so far cannot be identified with OPC.

Although it is common to label some groups terrorists - only a few such groups actually claim to be terrorists. As such, it is not the organization or the struggle per se that makes a terrorist, but the act of terrorism.

The direction the ND militants were going can be compared to the Basque separatists of Spain or the IRA in Northern Ireland.

. . .Except that both the British and the Spanish have glaringly failed to label ND militants as terrorists like you have. That shows a lot about what Nigerians think of each other simply because they belong in different ethnic groups.

I find it difficult to understand your claims of mildness are concerning OPC. That group has taken more Nigerian lives than any other, and their battles are usually against other ethnic groups whom they have slaughtered; from the Hausa's in Ketu to Ijaws in Ajegunle etc etc. So get out your paint brush and tar them as well to ensure that your claims don't sound sectional.

koruji:
Would you please point me to the terrorist acts committed by OPC?

Something told me you wouldn't see them in the same light as you see other groups. I do not call them terrorists, but by your definition, you should.
What is the difference between the ND militants and OPC? Both have guns and both have used them in situations where lives were lost. So how come OPC isn't terrorist to you? Doesn't OPC create fear?

Doesn't your description below fit OPC? Ain't they political and ideological? Don't they kill people?

koruji: What terrorism is: “Common definitions of terrorism refer only to those violent acts which are intended to create fear (terror), are perpetrated for a religious, political or ideological goal, and deliberately target or disregard the safety of non-combatants (civilians). Some definitions now exclude acts of state terrorism and some also include acts of unlawful violence and war. The use of similar tactics by criminal organizations for protection rackets or to enforce a code of silence is usually not labeled terrorism though these same actions may be labeled terrorism when done by a politically motivated group.”

Words are thing to be used with care. Not even the FG has declared ND militants to be terrorists, we only hear that from NL pundits.

^
Stop smoking wiwi and get coherent.

Dude, all you are talking is sentimental stuff with no logical basis. Boko haram will be defeated that is one thing you can be sure of, they might bomb a few more places, but they will be vanquished.

I see you mentioned that rich people won't throw their lives away for 10 million? True, but poor people don't give each other 10 million to waste themselves and murder other poor people like themselves either, do they? It takes a rich man to find the 10 million. The very same "Muslim brother" rich man that caused them to be almajiri's in the first place. No?

I laugh in Kalakuta!

Fornorth:
They are not prepared becouse when they are busy stealing our country money its has never crossed thier mind that,one day those who they force to become almajirai will one day have the ability to use the like of explosive bomb to scarter your lexury and levish life style,and now its gettin late. in my suggetion the only way for my naija to get peace is to let those hopeless,homeless,illitrate and poor hungry pepeole have a good education,food.shelter and jobs equal to your sons. if you say no i think there is no any other way to overcome this terrable situation we are in this country, coz once there is porverty,illitracy,hunger,political favour,and the like of those big stomach thives as our leaders, you have better forget the word PEACE. But i dont know if some body has a better solution. Wich i realy doubt it!.[color=#990000][/color]

This is silly. First you justify boko harams evil bombing of innocent men, women and children; then you tell lies that insinuate they are fighting because they are poor.
Dude, firstly, the innocent men, women and children boko haram is killing are not even govt officials; secondly boko haram has never once mentioned poverty as the reason for their murderous ways, rather they insist that they wish to Islamise the whole of Nigeria. They also claim to be part of al qaeda.

As for the terrible situation in this country, your fellow aboki caused it over several decades. There are now 10 million plus almajiri's, thanks to your aboki brothers.

Donlittle:
yeah the same herb bob marley inhaled,smoked that made him speak the truth against the govt, he was right wasnt he?
like i said, karma is a bitcch, and it shall gun you down!

Bob Marley made an effort to change the face of Jamaica and the Black World. Don't desecrate his name.

You on the other hand are like a weed that sprouts up to wreck good things out of the bitterness of losing, a pollutant whose mouth opens to reveal the stench of his arse. Compare yourself instead, to your fellow losers, boko haram.

Kobojunkie:
How many times have our security forces been RE-JIGGED in the last 6 months alone? It almost sounds like that is about the ONLY strategy our government knows to attempt, each time another bomb goes off. For pete's sake, no be the same dem RE-JIG in March/April/May and now again

Sir, would you be so kind to take up the challenge and provide links to support your re-jig claims? Or will the truth defeat you as usual?

@topic
There's going to be a remaking of aspects of our security services, from training to technology, to a new national database. It will take time, but its never too late. There is a lot that needs to be done in what is a horribly daunting task, considering the type of police force we have.

Donlittle:

This so called bastard starting from gej down to BEAF have never being prepared to give securty to their citizen
but are always ready to secure their-selves so they can loot, with mopos carry ghana must go bag full of money in those trucks
Gej is always ready to carry is mama for inside aso rock so she can be secure, but cant save the ppl inside the UN BUILDING
GEJ is always ready to secure the rich- e.g mikel obi fathers was set free after some days, but the masses being kidnap still lives in fear!
karmarudeen is a biitch, it never forgets nor does it forgive
it will come back to bite all of you one by one! and you guys will NaughtyWoman just like karma!

I guess this is due to the harmful effects of "herb" inhalation.

I'm sure if we were discussing OPC and the June 12 struggle you wouldn't use the word, terrorism. Ask yourself why.

^
Like I said, it is only the evil in the average Nigerian that can cause a person to mention the Niger Delta struggle and boko haram in one breath. It is extremely insulting. The Nigerian govt itself has never ever used the term, terrorism to describe the ND struggle, those horrible words tumble out of the mouths of the uncaring instead.

When our peaceful representatives were being killed like dogs on the orders of Shell, I'm sure it all looked nice and sweet. Again, it is foreigners that see the truth about Nigeria and speak it in unwavering terms. Most Nigerians just tell convenient lies that make blood cheap.

. . .

Terrorism was alien to the country until now? What were all those [b]BH attacks up north, Jos Inferno, ND militants? [/b]Thoughtful leaders would have known that the U.N. kind is what you prevent, not what you wait for to start singing about the "menace of terrorism".

. . .

It is extremely foolish and wicked to call the militancy in the ND terrorism. We can only trust fellow Nigerians to do such when the likes of the US, the UK, France, Germany etc have staunchly refused to do so. Rather, during the insurgency, Hilary Clinton made the loud claim that the Niger Delta was like occupied territory, a people kept in bondage by the rest of Nigeria.

Nigerians hate each other, so we do not think deeply before making very odd and careless statements.

[size=14pt]Nigerian security not prepared for bombing, says security adviser[/size]

Abuja (WorldStage Newsonline)-- Nigeria's National Security Adviser (NSA), General Andrew Azazi (rtd) admitted on Tuesday that the nation's security was not prepared for the recent bomb attacks in the north and capital city of Abuja.

Speaking at the end of a six hour emergency National Council of State meeting presided over by President Goodluck Jonathan, he said the challenge was relatively new to the country and by extension to the security agencies and so the security agencies were not prepared for it.

Warning that the bombing incident might be part of the country for sometime to come, he said the country must resolve to solve the problem.

He revealed that security agencies would be re-jigged, but might not necessarily lead to change of guards in the agencies, but most essentially, change of tactics and improvement of personnel.

He assured that security agencies were working on a national strategy so as to be able to tackle the security challenge.

National Council of State consists of the President, Vice President, former heads of state, governors of the 36 states, former Chief Justice of Nigeria, the serving CJN, Attorney General of the Federation and the NSA.

The former heads of state at the meeting were Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, Alhaji Shehu Shagari, Gen Yakubu Gowon and Gen. Abdusallam Abubakar.

Azazi who briefed State House Correspondents at the end of the emergency Council meeting , also confirmed that all the people behind the bombing of the Suleja office of the Independent National Electoral Commission had been arrested.

"This morning I was asked to brief the council on security issues across the country. We reviewed what we believe was the true situation. There are security issues all over, problems in the Niger Delta, crisis in Jos, kidnapping in parts of the country, but I think the focus was on what was considered topical at this point. Explosives everywhere especially Police headquarters, UN building and although there are claims as to who was responsible. The important thing is that we as a nation should realize that we are facing challenges that are relatively new to us,” he said.

[b]"The problem is that we were not as a nation prepared this new level of terrorism, buildings we have, the public facilities we have, we were not prepared for that, so when these things happen there is a lot of devastation.

"All over the world especially after 9/11 and the July bombings in London, public facilities have been improved to say, restricted access but we have not had that.

"To solve crime, sometimes you need a national identity database, we are trying to put that together. We are talking of putting up a strategy on protection of critical national infrastructure, what do we do, what guidelines do we give to the nation on what to do about them. We are talking of public enlightenment, is it possible to enlighten the Nigerian public to make them more aware of the challenges?

" The security challenges are here to stay, but we don't think they will go away over night, the more the public is aware of their responsibilities the better they could serve the security services. If we are more aware you could pass the information but the security services themselves must also improve.

" If you have not had a problem it is difficult to find solution over night, even our attitude towards the public, performance of our routine duties and is not just one security service, could be the police, the SSS, the armed forces. We are discussing seriously how we want to meet the aspirations of the Nigerian public and to assure you that at some point, it is always very difficult when you face this terrorists activities but at least we want to make sure that the security services provide enough information from which you can produce intelligence and to be more proactive and once you are more proactive, you can do a lot to stem the tide.

"Today as we see, a lot of work is being done by security services but when investigations are not complete, it may not be the proper thing to do to start to expose the level of investigations to the media.[/b]

"But from time to time, we have tried to engage with the media either from the services themselves or myself, nor necessarily publicly this way, but I have talked to the media persons at different levels, I have engaged the nation on security on radio talk shows to give the public certain level of confidence.

"It has happened in different part of the world, but today it is happening in Nigeria. And we must resolve as a nation to solve this problems.

"But we don't want to make the nation feel so unsafe. These problems of religious sect and all that could have started maybe over 15 years ago and there have escalated up to this point.

"A lot of issues were resolved but security is continuous, you don't take all the measures one day, but the need is to create awareness even in the states, that even at their level they have to take measures to improve public safety all around the country.

[size=14pt]"We recognize the need to re-jig the security architecture, what are the steps to be put in place to make sure that the security services are more effective.

"We agree on the use of technology and you don't acquire those things overnight. Issues like registration of sim card are properly effected, we talked about border control, how to help the immigration to make sure that there is proper border control. We talk of security in maritime environment. Those issues were addressed.

"But the critical thing is to keep everybody abreast that there are challenges and everybody must stand up to face the challenges together as a nation," he said.

On the Suleja INEC bombing Azazi said, " I can tell you categorically that the Suleja bombing at the INEC office, everybody who was involve had been arrested. By the time you see them been prosecuted you will see that there is no deliberate attempt by the government not to prosecute those behind the insecurity in the country, everybody is concerned.

"I can assure you that we have made arrests and we will let you know in due time."[/size]

He said the Jos crisis also came up for discussion at the emergency meeting. He said, "we spoke about the Jos crisis and the President has said that at the next security council I should bring him all the facts available so that we can make a decision on what to do."

On the other issues discussed at the meeting, Benue State Governor, Gaberial Suswam who joined the NSA alongside Governor Sule Lamido of Jigawa State and Governor Liyel Imoke of Cross River State, said the emergency council of state meeting also discussed the award of national honour, the appointment of the chairman and commissioners for the National Population Commission (NPC), and the reconstitution of the prerogative of mercy by Mr. President.

Where can one even begin answering this? Almost every word is either an outright falsehood, or is so off point its on a trajectory to Pluto.

This thread is another example of the petty and shabby politics that the opposition has taken to. You don't just try to smear a mans name for no reason, it is immoral.

It is disgusting to behave as if Abati is committing some kind of sin because he is in govt. What does anybody have to point at that the man has done wrong?
Is it that he has a doctorate? Is it that he obtained his doctorate in his early twenties? Is it that he is an accomplished author and journalist? What has Abati done to you?

CPC's moves are just mere noise making. They keep on screaming and shouting about things that don't matter in the least, the ridiculous application that was thrown out is a case in point.
They have money to waste, so who says the shouldn't continue? Afterall, it will help someone make money in a country where things are hard.

If you want simplicity itself and you are not willing to invest in a python or ruby coder, PHP is your best bet. Not some microsoft tech that you have to code with a reference manual (well , to tell the truth, sometimes in PHP too but not as bad).

Compared to .NET and Java, PHP is a mere toy, period.

As for the "reference manual" manual thingy, its part of the high level of discipline every developer must cultivate. While there are some pretty good PHP developers, most tend to be cut and join. This is reflected in the fact that PHP websites have the poorest security levels on average; give me a PHP site and I'm 95% certain I can break in and steal the database within a few minutes without breaking into a sweat.
