Those are quite deep questions, I hope you can cope?
I've almost given up on the IQ levels of the most vocal NLers.

oyb:


beaf can do all the about turn and dancing in circles he wants, but we know his precedents. mindless character assassination. he has been blathering that ribadu is tribalist. this is just another mealy mouthed attempt to smear rabdu and show gej as the only viable choice

try again

The thing is you argue foolishly with yourself, just like an animal reacts to basic stimuli. It is not surprising that you are misfiring as usual, its the id!ot in you bubbling up.

Well done to the President, there are many common people who have been positively touched. There is still a lot to be done, but it is step by encouraging step.
All in all, a very good first year.

sochan:
@Gbawe,

Sound words.

Where is uncle Beaf who started this thread? The man don run, I bet he didnt expect this? all man pissing on his parade

Run from a pack of people whose thinking is little above beasts? You've got to be kidding. People who make far fetched assumptions like your average vulcaniser or illiterate rewire? You've got to be kidding dude!
I'm here really laughing at you guys low IQ display and primitive instincts.

oyb:
beaf seems to think nairaland is full of illiterate credulous village eediots who can't read and accept meaningless headlines

in fact, i recommend the mods immediately rename to less duplicitous title and reban beaf for malicious misrepresentation. the topic of the thread is pure slander, and an abuse of next's article

i know salaried employees younger than me who have houses worth more than that

You got that 100% right. I posted, never said a word, but fools have turned up in the sunshine claiming Beaf this, Beaf that! Its clear you are fools isn't it?
This thread has turned out a truly revealing exercise in exposing the absolutely low mental capabilities of many vocal NLers. Hail yourself!

To make matters worse, you have asked that I change the title, why don't you go ask 234Next to change it and take your mindless bitterness and jealousy there? Dunce.

Ibime:
Beaf should come and explain the reason behind his post. This is verging on the ridiculous.

It is very interesting political news. What is ridiculous about that apart from the feeble mindsets displayed in the majority of responses?

lagbaja20:
Goodluck with that!

May be you should start by going back to Nigeria

Only then will anyone take you seriously!

Do you have a clue where I am? Dumb arse.

[size=14pt]Ribadu worth N26 million at end of EFCC tenure [/size]
By Emmanuel Ogala and Festus Owete
December 29, 2010 01:15AM

Nuhu Ribadu, a presidential aspirant under the Action Congress of Nigeria, was worth about N26.59 million in assets and cash while leaving office as the chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in 2007, details of asset declaration documents exclusively obtained by NEXT have revealed.

According to the end of tenure asset declaration document which was declared before Abubakar S. Umar, a Justice of the High Court of Justice in Abuja on 26 November, 2008, Mr. Ribadu lost N1.357 million worth of assets during his five-year tenure as chairman of EFCC.

The documents, which were admitted by a three-man panel of the Code of Conduct Tribunal led by Justice Constance Momoh in December 2009, show that Mr. Ribadu was worth N27.94 million by March 2002, before he became the EFCC chairman.

For public scrutiny

Details of the document show that before Mr. Ribadu became the EFCC chair, he had 187 cows valued at N7.5 million, a residential quarters in Yola worth N4.5 million, and a N10 million land in Abuja. He also had a Honda Accord car valued at N2 million, a Honda CRV valued at N2.3 million and N1.6 million and £200 cash in two local banks and a London bank respectively.

The end of tenure asset declaration by Mr. Ribadu shows that while he was leaving EFCC in 2008, he had $8,064 in two local banks, sourced from his allowances, a plot of land at Katampe Hills in Abuja valued at N2 million, a residential quarters in Yola valued at N5 million, and a N200,000 home furniture. He also had a N2.3 million Honda Accord car bought in 2006.

He, however, lost 67 cows and was left with 120 cows valued at N5 million.

Mr. Ribadu, who was finally relieved of his duty as chairman of EFCC, was prosecuted half way by the late Umaru Musa Yar'Adua-led government at the Code of Conduct Tribunal over allegations that he did not declare his assets before taking up the EFCC job.

In late 2008, he went on a self-imposed exile after alleging threats to his life, but the case against him was dropped at the Code of Conduct Tribunal by the federal government after the death of Mr. Yar'Adua and the subsequent removal of Michael Aondoakaa as the attorney general of the federation and minister of justice.

Adetokunbo Kayode, who took over the Justice ministry from Mr. Aaondoaka, had before the dissolution of the cabinet by President Goodluck Jonathan, reviewed the case against Mr. Ribadu and directed that the case should be withdrawn. He later filed a Nolle Prosequi to discontinue the case.

A case of vendetta

Mr. Ribadu, who confirmed the validity of the documents, described the case the government had against him as vendetta by the Yar'Adua administration, which was filled with men he had put up for prosecution while he was in office as EFCC chairman.

He said that although the Goodluck Jonathan's administration withdrew the case and made it easy for him to return to the country, he would have preferred a logical conclusion of the case.

"My lawyers already filed that the case be struck out following the admission of my 2002 asset declaration forms by the Justice Constance Momoh-led panel in December 2009," he said.

The return of Mr. Ribadu and others who went into exile was one of the achievements listed by President Jonathan as one of the tangible achievements of his administration.

On his Facebook page on Christmas Eve the president wrote:

"Last Christmas, several exiles such as Nuhu Ribadu and Nasir El-Rufai, etc., spent Christmas away from their friends and families. But this Christmas, they have the liberty to be with their friends and families in Nigeria. Plus, there are NO Nigerian political exiles outside Nigeria this Christmas."

[quote author=Ochi_Agha link=topic=415620.msg7425600#msg7425600 date=1293601717]I keep on telling people not to forget about Ethiopia. At one time, Ethiopia had the largest army in Africa when the Derg led by Mengistu was in power. With enemies outside of Ethiopia's border as well as inside of Ethiopia, they have to be battle hardened. Especially with going against the Somali militants that operate with the Ogaden region and Eritrea that should be a part of Ethiopia, but it not due to Cold War politics.[/quote]Ethiopia and Eritrea are rated highest by all top military ranking websites, but most don't know.

This is more reason i faulted Edwin Clark when he was promising brime stone and fire.

Lemme give you a clue, not until now a sh.!.t worth more than Atiku in the north, the fact is AC couldnt even win in his Ganye ward in Adamawa even after his so much tussle with obj.

but what do you have now? atiku of all people becoming a threat to the incumbent president? That is what you get when you are not carefully playing your card or when you have inexperince men advicing a novice.

Nobody is argueing the power of rigging and incumbency, but the work would have been mauh much easier for GEJ, not for likes of northen public enemy number one i.e OBJ.

Dont be so surprise if Atiku will not beat GEJ in PDP primaries, cos i know Atiku can pull surprise having the proper avenue.[/quote]This thread is all about tall dreams and far fetched scenarios, so your story fits in.

You misunderstand me. I'm saying it will not be that easy to tell people how to vote by radio anymore, its a high tech age that will confuse traditional riggers that have zero IT skills.

Ola edo:
If Egypt and "South Africa" have the best armies in Africa,can anybody explain to me why nigeria is always sent to curb the war trouble in other African countries and not them(Egypt and "South Africa"?

Because those wars are in West Africa where we are the strongest. In other places, we donate to the AU force.
. . .And the two best armies are Ethiopia and Eritrea, not Egypt and SA. You don't want to meet Ethiopian and Eritrean soldiers on the battlefield, they are bloody well trained and equipped.

They've gone so far as to stage war games should that possibility arise. Thats why for the most part when some "zoning" politicians promise mayhem if they lose, its easy to conclude that they are on the ignorant side of what Tomahawk missiles can do.

Do you mind the clot, jaygetta? I have never come across someone so proud to be foolish like him / it, the lost fool.

[quote author=jaygetta ]Lol@Udezue: funny how the wolves get strong only when they are in a pack. U really think "there is nothing in the present to boast about?".lol. U want to wager a bet? Like u and your fzcuk buddy up there (Beaf): Native Village my left nuts. I was born outside Nigeria, so were my Parents maybe that's why unlike u animals  I'm not blind to faults based on "tribal affiliation" alone and would like to see fair amongst all. You "know" your Native Village, why aren't you there now? Freaking goats, when someone does not agree to their position, automatically he's an enemy. Why don't you disprove my position? Show that I was wrong! Shocking that the moment I brought proof the next thing was insults and lies . You and your boyfriend accused me falsely, once I proved you wrong: oh, we have to start a fight to divert issues. The same deceptive nature of Nigerians that will ensure that it never rises.

My position is my position, just like I prove that: You, Mr.Biafra (contrary to what you tried to propogate) KNOW JACKSHIET ABOUT THE EDOS! While also proving that you fake "we be Mr.Mid-Westerners/proper Bendelites" a.k.a Pipeline Bomber a.k.a Gej's offical dieeck licka also, to your consternation know nothing about the EDOS.

This guys krase has gone too far.

Dude, to hell with your lost parents, wasted genes and you lost self. The sperm that made you would have been better off donated to the zoo.

[quote author=eku_bear link=topic=575699.msg7425379#msg7425379 date=1293595080]See, this statement is exactly why the ACN cannot afford to pander in any way, shape or form to the SE. What is the point of putting an Igbo on your ticket if he cannot deliver any votes? ACN is not popular in the SE, so don't bother trying to appease them; it will gain you nothing.

Regarding the comment, why should I care about the concern? All I'm interested in is winning an election, not pleasing everybody (which is impossible anyway.)

The Yar'Adua situation is in no way comparable to the one in which you propose, in which a sitting president rigs two hugely populated (at least, by the official population figures) regions of Nigeria out of an election in which they won. Latter would make the "Yar'Adua fiasco" seem like a pleasant stroll in the park.
Also, yes the US might interfere, but it would NOT be to help GEJ suppress a coup if he did the above. Instead, they'd use their influence to pressure GEJ to step down, since that is the path of least resistance. This is generally what the US seeks to do. . . take the course of action that rocks the boat the least, this maintaining the very favorable status quo for America (there are exceptions here and there, but you get the idea.)

Eh, supposedly we live in a democracy. Whether group X wants GEJ to be president is not relevant unless they can get the votes to do so. If GEJ is cleanly defeated in an election and someone take offense to that, then that is not my problem. In a democracy, no one group can force a candidate on anyone else, threats or no.[/quote]You will be shocked to find that the only part of Nigeria that is important to the US is the ND. If any unfortunate fellow rocks the oil boat by ejecting a "shon of the shoil," we will definitely see US boots.
Without the ND, Nigeria is almost useless to the rest of the World. Besides that, it is basically impossible for a coup to succeed in current day Nigeria.

[quote author=dem_people link=topic=575889.msg7425386#msg7425386 date=1293595410]So does it mean that we aren't "proud" of who we are, just cos some of us are abroad or have dual citizenship? I can't speak for other Nigerians in diaspora but for me, my heart and soul has always been back home.

First and foremost, Your ancestors will be looking down on you with shame if, just cos you've got an American passport, has made you to abandon your country. Just cos 9ja is going through "tough" periods shouldn't make you to abandon it. Be wise. America isn't "your" country. You have only one country and will always have one country.

Horus:
Because Nigeria and Goodluck Jonathan want to send Nigerian soldiers to Ivory Coast. Did Nigeria and Goodluck Jonathan think?. Why Nigeria and Goodluck Jonathan are quick to send nigerian soldiers attack Ivory Coast?. It is Nigeria and Goodluck Jonathan who are talking war first. If Nigeria declare war on Ivory Coast, Ivorian have the right of self defence. People are still Negotiating in Abidjan to find a solution but Nigeria and Goodluck Jonathan want to send troops already. It is too early, he should allow a little bit more time instead of talking war.

What negotiations and what "solution?" A man lost elections and needs to leave, its that simple.

@BEAF: Good! My parents are just as lost; how many extra zeros do u now see in your bank account? Do I read like someone that's "lost"? You're sad and pathetic. . . Would suck to be you! In the years that it took my parents to get "lost" out here (through no fault of theirs) your darling Nigeria still hasn't found a solution to a problem as easy as constant electricity. Let me guess, GEJ will get it done ONLY if Nigerians vote him in. . .you must really believe you're not the only one GEJ beds regularly!

Yes you do sound very lost and cultureless. A roaming spirit with no identity.
If you know how much I pity you, you burst into tears. Forget about Nigeria and recall how in your last post your nirvana is to suck white d.i.c.k. I saw that and said a prayer for you. To have no identity is a wretched place to be, but to be a fool is much worse.

Dude, pick your brain off the floor and use it. You claim that your family doesn't give a damn about Nigeria? Here we are crying tears of blood that the fools don't.
Who cares!

In the meantime, you are ecstatic that you see whites everyday?
Damn! It takes a special breed of psychologically damaged fool to think that way.

Look out how PhysicsQED has laid you to rest. How can you even raise your head in public after that? Bloody waste of black genes.

May I also add that the pump action rifle was duly licensed and perfectly legal.

[quote author=dem_people link=topic=575889.msg7425225#msg7425225 date=1293591161]Calm down. Its not like that. Even you, given the opportunity, I'm pretty much sure you would do the same. Perhaps, who suggested to you that he might have indulged in the aforementioned above? We all want good standards of living but its quite unfortunate that many of us have left the shores of our beloved country for greener pastures abroad. If I have it my way, I'd be back home. I still love my country and will always do so unconditionally because, it'll never seize to be the land of my ancestors, my land and the land of my future generations to come - God willing! If you're "making it" back home, good for you but never regard us Nigerians living abroad as "never do wells". Infact, its quite on the contrary. Peace!

[quote author=eku_bear link=topic=575699.msg7425194#msg7425194 date=1293590380]Eh, if it comes down to rigging, both sides can play that game After all, the ACN/CPC base seems to form a huge amount of the official population of the country, and votes can be manipulated to be overwhelming there too.

This is part of the reason why I'm glad Tinubu is the head of the ACN.

And as you allude to, if GEJ  uses rigging to cheat an ACN/CPC ticket (representing the SW and North, respectively) out of victory, not only will he invite civil unrest, but I think he also increases the chance of a military coup.

So I'm not sure that rigging is going to be as effective in this election as in past ones.[/quote]Population doesn't count for that much in Presidential elections. Vote spread is just as important. Check section 132 of the constitution.

jaygetta:
@Beaf: I see that bit I told about u being GEJ has eaten up what's left of your liver. ROFLMAO! your attempts at a comeback are pathetic: Dead on Arrival. So, in addition to your writing being a tad bit just above 11th grade level, comprehension is also a problem, abi no be so?! Na God go punish whoever talk say Beaf and GEJ no be one and the same! Lol. Please, hurry up and quote where I said Hausa-Fulani are Edos! See what a conniving little lying punk you are?! A man with no conscience you will make up stories just to score a point. Ok, here's a cookie. Try as you may, u can't lay the tag of EDO or any other tribe on me! I never told u I was from there, nor did I claim them. The same way I'll tell u about the Edo is the same way I'll school you about the Fulanis or/and the Yorubas. So, you can take that tribalistic "You don't know your village" ish out of here; or you can shove it up your aszz:I won't argue with your choice. Like I said, I owe allegiance to no one Nigerian tribe. Would it short-circuit your puny little brain[b] if I revealed that, weird as it may seem to your obviously poverty stricken self, none of my parents was born in Africa?[/b] Ah, impossible, eh? Just as well to you, seeing clearly that you are probably the first in your family to hop on a plane and sit close to a white man. Thus, u would think it implausible that there are 50, 60+yrs old plus "Tokunbohs" of Nigerian descent. Moronic tribalists like yourself are why most of my family refuse to have anything to do with Nigeria, and why my they think me crazy for even trying to associate with her. Well, good try. You can go back to your GEJ rants and keep me afar from your idi*ocy. I reject your deposit. Your play mates will soon start logging on, be patient. Don't be in too much of a hurry to find new friends. Oh, u can try, but I'm just so above stupi*dity.

Just makes your parents as lost as you dude. It must be wretched to have no identity and even worse, to have been born foolish. What a curse!
Something wrong with them genes boy!

jaygetta:
@Udezue: are you referring to me as a "dunce"? Here's assuming that that's what you called me: SHOW ME, QUOTE ME, WHERE I SAID HAUSA-FULANI ARE EDO or vice-versa! Failing that, is it okay to posit that since you're clearly a dunce, then YOUR FATHER must also be a dunce? At least, a substantial amount of his genes reside in you. Now, like I said, that's assuming it was me you were referring to!

[size=21pt]Dunce![/size]

jaygetta: @Dayokanu: I don't claim that there's a Muslim majority in Edo state; I mean we can't even say, accurately, how many Nigerians actually exist since there's no proper method of identification; we can only assume. However, what I stated was that there was a VERY high Muslim population amongst the Edos. Most of the ones u think are Christians are actually Muslims, or were born Muslims but converted: among the Edos this is not cause for a heart attack! A lot of them assumed english names because they felt it was fashionable at the time. . .then as they started having their kids, they also christened them with english names. There's hardly an Edo that has an English name that doesn't have a Muslim name (which is REALLY his/her FIRST NAME). Apart from the Binis and (maybe a slight majority of the Ishans) most of Edo state is largely muslim. Don't get it twisted! From Ayua,Ora, Fuga, Agenegbode, Uromi all the way to Auchi, Afuze,Afemai, Akoko-Edo,Irua etc ARE MAINLY MUSLIM. Anyways sha @, my point still remains that there's an almost equal amount of Muslims/Christians among the Edos and they have learnt to co-habitate with each other, devoid of religion-related problems, for eons. It is not unusual to see an Edo family where the father is Christian, the mother is muslim, and the kids are split btwn both faiths! That's why I said they share at least that attribute (among others) with the Yorubas and will be more comfortable going with them in a future seperate Nigeria. [size=14pt]Let me tell you how [color=#990066]crazy[/color] it is, a lot of "Hausa/Fulani" u see are actually Edo! You'll see them with the Hausa tribal marks, Muslim name, and they speak Hausa---then u'll think they are Hausas: that's how wonderfully diverse they are[/size]. People that don't know, when they hear "Edo", only think of the Binis or Ishans. . . . Infact, check this link I just happened out:http:// www.edo-nation.net/edotribe.htm
