The Oba has done well, it might even be better to banish the man from Edo state (where he hails from). That road has been a bloody eyesore for as long as I know.
People should actually be shot.

Another tissue of lies by ODECHUKWU and his foreign conspirators. Garbage

So GEJ now controls the UK? Damn!
. . .By the way ***Chukwu means, god is a f**l.

I really wonder at your mental makeup (more likely, lack of).

SEFAGO:
Why? Huh- so its the same thing as the "N" word. Really? Spare me the fake sentiments. I see no relationship between the "N" word which has historical connotations to slavery, subjugation and prejudice and referring to someone from a riverine area as a fisherman. Its just like me saying Yoruba is the same as the N word lol, such a pathetic analogy

Yes its obvious why it was offensive- it was a political insult and a well constructed one- it had very little to do with ethnic bigotry. The same way I have a friend from the ND are who refers to hausa people as cattle-rearers. No be lie?

You want me to look for previous posts of yours where you have made ethnic allusions which can be argued to be the same as the "N" word?

So whats wrong with coming from a group identified with fishing? You have made it look like a dishonorable origin itself.

Oh yes, Yoruba (whatever it means) is a derogatory word like nigger is; same as referring to Hausa people as cattle-rearers is derogatory. So please cut the crap.

9ijaMan:
You need not worry yourself that much. The likes of Beaf and his ilk will never be Nigeria's leaders. Most of them are simply political jobbers whose sole means of livelihood is the paltry crumbs GEJ is doling out to them for their senseless and ill-informed postings. Wait until elections are over, as soon as GEJ loses, even that lowlife Beaf will turn against him.

Funny stuff and as usual, a bewildering display of science defying dimness from NL's resident stone thrower and corporate neanderthal.

Threads like this one are started by limp fellows and losers for the sole purpose of exciting their kind with pathetic shrieks and neanderthal grunts.
Logic makes no sense to the kind. Its like a baboon festival.

[size=14pt]UK government predicts 12 per cent growth for Nigeria’s economy[/size] .

British Parliamentary Under Secretary of State at the Foreign and Commonwealth, Henry Bellingham has predicted a 12 per cent growth for Nigeria’s economy provided the Federal Government keeps to its promise of the conducts a free and fair election in April.

He also urged the Nigerian government and address economic-retarding issues within the system.

The diplomat made this remark in Lagos during the week while on a courtesy visit to Leventis Motors, Apapa, Lagos. He also stated that Nigeria needed to resolve the lingering crisis in the Niger Delta region, fix the power sector and boost infrastructure, “because the world was looking forward to the country as the economic power in Africa.”

While speaking on Leventis Motors partnership with British JCB firm, the UK’s minister said: “The Joint Venture partnership is a new chapter for JCB. JCB enormously would be making a big impact in this country because you got a growing economy. You are spending a lot of money on infrastructure. You got a lot of civil engineering projects taking place here. So it’s a huge opportunity for JCB and for me.

He continued, “the visit to Nigeria here today is to celebrate this joint venture and his part of my trade diplomacy in Africa, because am doing my possible best to boost UK’s trade in Africa, in Nigeria, which is possibly the most popular country in Africa and one of our most economy allies in the world,” Bellingham disclosed.

Bellingham also emphasized that Nigeria remains one of the fastest growing economies in the world and with its economic growth being at seven per cent now, the country could be at the verge of attaining 12 per cent growth after the transition programme, when there would have been stability in governance, adding that successful transition to democratic elected government, would send a ‘positive signal of business investment to the world.’

He recalled that the bilateral trade between Britain and Nigeria has spanned for decades, maintaining that the United Kingdom was closely watching events in Nigeria. He added that that was the reason why he came to Nigeria to deliver the message of Britain’s Prime Minister, David Cameron to President Goodluck Jonathan that the British government was impressed with the stability in the nation’s economy and was ready to assist Nigeria in her transition programme to a democratically elected government.

Bellingham noted that his mission also in Nigeria was to identify how British firms could be encouraged to invest more in Nigeria, and how Nigerian entrepreneurs could also come to Britain and invest, adding that boosting trade investment in Africa and Nigeria in general was one of the priorities of David Cameron’s administration.

He said that global trade has gone nuclear as countries are now looking for new grounds to explore business opportunities, stressing that Nigeria still remains the ideal place for business trade, because of the enormous business opportunities in the country.

“When I was appointed by our Prime Minister, David Cameron as Minister for Africa and the United Nations, I was told that one of my main responsibilities in Africa is to help boost trade and investments. I was to get to Africa, do what I could do to help UK’s businesses and also to encourage African businessmen to invest in UK, because trade is a two-way flow.

“Trade is about wealth creation; creating excellent and; is about moving your country forward. So, there is no country like Nigeria for entrepreneurial drive and shared enterprise. This is a country that her economy is growing at seven per cent. That’s absolutely incredible compare to European ways of growth. And I believe that when the power sector in your country is reformed and when better governance comes in as well, hopefully, after the elections, then your country will even grow faster, may be 10 or 12 per cent. And I think what that means is that there are very bright future for your young people. That is both already with jobs and those without jobs,” Bellingham added.

Speaking on terrorism, he said that there were already some British experts on security in Nigeria assisting the government on how to combat the spat of bombings in the country.

He however stressed that the Niger Delta crisis needed to be resolve urgently by government as the crisis is costing the country to lose about $10 million daily as revenue, adding that the loss revenue could be used and channeled at boosting infrastructure in the country.

“I think the key thing in Nigeria is you need stronger government. You need a completely transparent government that practices good governance. It is essential that a new government after the elections remove corruption. And it is also very important that the government sorted out the problem in the Niger Delta. Everyday, over $10 million is going missing from oil revenue in the Delta. That money should be used for building schools and hospitals, roads and helping young people in skills education,” he said.

Energy effiecient stoves are fabricated in nearby Jigawa, so I don't see why there is a need to import anything; except the Jigawa stoves don't work.

I think GEJ is just giving him better things to do with his time. I expect more cases to pop up as he shoots his mouth further.
Very soon, we will all be shocked to see how really really quiet Tinubu can be.

If Tinubu persists in being obnoxious, the gates of Kiri kiri will swallow him. Lol, right there in his home country.

seanet02:
Dapo, let me tell you the truth, 150 million GEJ can not do anything for TINUBU. It is like i need to do VHD conversion to VCD to upload a recorded video of the Popular Wetie crisis in the South west which i hijacked from my grandpa. You gotta see how people deal with the Government. Even Obj tried to jail TINUBU and he fail woefully. It's a pity you really don't know the love YORUBA people have for TINUBU. This man rescued our sinking boat from the hands of the sadist nicknamed obj. Come home and conduct an independent survey and you will be amazed at the level people can go to just to defend TINUBU. I repeat 150 million GEJ can not do nada.

Wetie ke?
You will find that you'll be the only person involved. All your fellow thin legged OPC's get sense na.

Tinubu put some dense clowns like you in front to try to push his desperate ethnic bigotry agenda, but its a fvcking failure! LOL!

. . .Anyways, he will soon be in jail.

SEFAGO:
Politics is all about dirty talk. I can remember here quite vividly that people were clamoring for the death of Yar'adua shamelessly ignoring the fact that this man has a family too and they have feelings too. Alluding to the presidents origins as coming from a group of fishermen is not in anyways offensive.

Thats funny, cos its obvious that many of us find it deeply offensive and will always find it deeply offensive.
Its like a white man telling us that there is nothing offensive in his calling blacks "niggers." Try another trick, this one is useless.

SEFAGO:
This is the biggest bullshit I have heard. Nigeria's biggest problem is corruption not ethnic bigotry. Its just that the politicians use bigotry and religion to dabaru everything while stealing your money.

Don't you see the serious contradiction in the bolded?

If not for ethnic bigotry, politicians wouldn't be able to practice corruption on the industrial scale that applies in 9ja. The masses too have fallen head first for the trick, so each ethnic group wants their man at the centre at FG level. It trickles down to LG level with each village wanting their man as chairman.

All of the above is fed by our nauseating, "winner takes all" unitary govt we decieve ourselves is federal.
The chain is; free money in Abuja >> ethnic bigotry (through population, presence in army etc as immediate tools) >> patronage >> corruption.
As you can see, corruption is some way down the chain.

By the time EFCC begins looking into Lagos state business, the man will be totally quartered and diced. lol.
I de laf o!!!!!!!

May he continue to have nightmares of "fishermen coming on land to seek votes from us," as if we aren't all Nigerians. LOL!!!!!!!

@beaf: u r my friend for once for this post, nw i expect u to tell your boss gej to make a statement as the president of Nigeria agains d despot in libya but his busy seeking for audience with d guy that stoled 40bila according 2u. Im waiting!

Thanks for dropping by, and as usual your foolishness hasn't failed to amaze and entertain. You are two days late though, so keep waiting. 

[size=14pt]FG condemns Libyan govt over-use of force on protesters [/size]

“We are not happy about the violence and the unrestrained nature of the violence with the civilian population. We are monitoring the situation from the perspective of our own citizens. We do not interfere in the affairs of other countries; we believe that the Libyan government should find a peaceful way of reconciling themselves with their citizens. We have condemned the violence and no government should use unrestrained force against its own people,”

I'm sure his crimes run a mile long, so he can be tried for them one after the other. lol

oluwabamis:
@beef, you know that ethnicity issue is one of our greatest undoing as a nation, the other one is religion, these 2 factors are responsible for the way our politics is-lopsided. the day we are able to say thiings at its face value, that day marks d begining of our turnaround.

You are 100% correct. Most people think corruption is Nigeria's worst problem, but corruption is only a symptom of ethnic bigotry, which in turn is a sympton of various ethnic groups bashing each other for all the spoils in Abuja (as dictated by our fake federalism).

Ethnic bigotry is the veil the corrupt elite use to blind and confuse us, so we lose sight of the truth and remain confounded even when stark reality stares us in the face. People like Tinubu are the most skilled when it comes to harnessing ethnic bigotry and must be pulled down.
In tinubu's favour though, is the fact that he is a relatively small fish in the ethnically bigoted politics pond. The real players are the Ciroma's, Yakasai's etc.

It falls on all progressive youth to banish ethnic bigotry from politics, and with the right structures in place, it can be done.

^
Correction; Salami is still very busy, and we are praying fervently to see Tinubu through the iron bars of a jailhouse very soon.

Fool.

Good news, time to keep the ethnically bigoted cow very very busy.

Fashola simply has no respect or sense of protocol. I pity those who see him as an ordinary member of society, he isn't. He is a governor in an opposition party, not even their presidential candidate. He has been rude, loud mouthed, self centred, lacking in protocol and wisdom and made Ribadu look like an outright fool.

If Ribadu had spoken, there would be no angry responses.

Gaddafi is indeed using foreign nationals as bargaining chips. I pray for the Nigerians govt is struggling to bring out, because that arsehole might try to extract the maximum he can from the FG at the expense of Nigerian lives. I wish we had nukes.

[size=14pt]Britain paid Libyan officials 'bribes' to allow rescue flights to land at Tripoli airport [/size]

Britain has paid what one senior government figure called ‘bribes’ to Libyan officials in order to get British citizens home.

Officials were forced to hand over more than £11,000 of taxpayers’ money to Colonel Gaddafi’s government for every one of the rescue flights that have landed at Tripoli airport.

The cost to the public purse is already in excess of £70,000 and could rise to six figures as ministers race to pull out the remaining Britons before a full blown civil war erupts.

GEJ hailed the decision of a Federal High Court, I don't see the big deal. Should the President be lawless, condemn and ride roughshod over the law instead?
When PDP govs lost to court cases, did he interfere? We should be happy that the rule of law means something to this govt, unlike what obtained in all past ones.

It seems a bit strange to blame GEJ when we do not like a ruling by the Federal High Court. I wonder when he became a High Court Judge to be blamed for rulings that are unpopular to some?

This is a hilarious thread!
Imagine comparing all sorts of dead and buried languages to see which has the better ghaost! lol

* PHP pumped out about 47 pages/second = DEAD
* Microsoft ASP pumped out about 43 pages/second = DEAD
* Allaire ColdFusion pumped out about 29 pages/second = DEAD
* Sun Java JSP pumped out about 13 pages/second = DEAD

The comparison should be between ASP.NET, Ruby etc, not the super-dead dogs above. lol

ping pong:
Just like the intention to build boarding houses for the almajiris in the North, with this endless handouts to the militants, when do you think all this will ever end? We cant just throw our hands in the air and blame the structure continuously, abi.

No, instead of focussing our energies to correct the structure that is the root of the problem, we are better off screaming at the wind.

ping pong:
Oga Beaf, surely you dont really mean the above, do you?

I don't write things I don't mean. Read it thoroughly, digest it, look in the mirror, then come back with reasoned arguments.
The stoopid political structure we have in Nigeria created the millitants in the first place, and has no viable way to deal with them, but by adding them to state governments and LG's on the Abuja begging bowl train.

If only some of us Nigerians would learn to think, we would feel shame instead of acting by premevial instinct and yapping aimlessly; in all scattered directions, but the right one.
