This is what is what Black South Africans go through in this day and age; [flash=680,385] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjDVnqEpHkY&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&fs=1[/flash] |
Ribadu recently said his life was no longer in danger. He must rethink and watch his back. |
nex:It couldn't be put better. The holiest people provide the World with terrorists regardless of if they are Christian or Muslim. All that is required is religion. The only thing we can say is, Muslims are currently wining the broadcast terrorism act scales by a vast margin, but in the past, there have been Christian terrorist acts unmatched by anything Muslims have done from Adam till date including; African slavery, the Spanish Inquisition, Crusades, French Wars of Religion, Oliver Cromwells conquest of Ireland, Ku Klux Klan etc. These days, we are left with the likes of National Liberation Front of Tripura (India), Lords Army (Uganda) and several other Christian terrorist groups. Christians are just as terror inclined as Muslims. |
It is good for that BBC clown. They think black people are inferior to them and always want to stick their noses in our business as if there is still a British Empire. A couple of years back they had the apartheid flag on their Africa News homepage; I wrote a couple of heartfelt complaints to them, but they were ignored and the apartheid flag remained on the front page in defiance to Africa and who we are. To hell with the BBC. They are the most backward and snotty media house in the whole of the UK. After the fake Yar'Adua interview we should really be giving them short shrift for wanting to negatively influence our internal affairs. Thats the same thing they are going to do in South Africa, they aren't concerned at the extremely racist attitudes of terryblanche who was deservedly beaten to death, instead they want to chase the ANC, a revolutionary party that fought apartheid and won. A lot of us as black people don't know where we stand or have the nerve to defend our identity. If anybody is accusing Malema of singing "kill the boer" what of Manadela? He sings it too. Can they hound him? What about their fellow whites? They sing it too. This is proof; [flash=480,385] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKiePbTcAfY&hl=en_GB&fs=1&[/flash] Ask any Xhosa person what that song means if you are in any doubt. The BBC thinks it can take out ANC's youth wing, thats what this is about. |
I like the way the article suggests the total beheading of the old and tired power blocks. Replace Northern leadership with the fresh faces of Ribadu and El-Rufai, do the same in the West and East. After that, a truly new Nigeria can begin to blossom; if only for this reason, it is imperative that we have a Jonathan / El-Rufai or Jonathan / Ribadu ticket; these are political party outsiders without the usual Nigerian political baggage. |
mikeansy:Yeah, its full of crazy bits and bobs, but that s why I feel its discussion material. On El-Rufai having a larger heart than Sanusi, he will be hunted by the fact he said Abuja is not for the poor. That was a careless statement from him that might question your assertion that he has a large heart. |
"Nobody can tell you that there is no rural electrification, but it is the system of going about it that we are addressing. It is the agency, REA, that we are addressing. We believe that rural electrification can be best addressed by the 11 distribution companies. These companies are the ones that connect people to the grid. What we had before was an agency that was sitting in Abuja and was awarding contracts to people to do rural electrification without a connection to the distribution companies that are in charge of delivering power to the people.http://www.thisdayonline.com/nview.php?id=170537 A lot more thought than previously seems to be going into our power provision calculations. While this is good for the short term, we need to be thinking about a flexible distribution system that would make total decentralisation possible in the future. The main arguments for decentralisation are that it allows for the smallest companies to be able to generate power locally; it would even allow for each household to generate as much of their power as possible. This can be acheived with biogas from waste products (food / faecal), solar, microturbine etc. Another benefit to such decentralisation is in national security, there simply wouldn't be a huge power station to bomb if we ever came under attack. |
Frankly, I would prefer a Jonathan / Ribadu ticket. But both Ribadu and El-Rufai are good, competent guys. |
[size=14pt]LITTLE ENDS: 2011: Towards a Jonathan/El-Rufai ticket [/size] By Pius Adesanmi April 8, 2010 08:38AMT Acting President Goodluck Jonathan needs to get his new cabinet to declare President Umaru Yar’Adua incapacitated and have him removed immediately from Aso Rock. We can no longer afford the expensive weekly distraction of Turai and her kitchen cabinet. Next, he needs to give us genuine electoral reform. Any electoral reform that passes muster will, of necessity, be mutually exclusive with the interests of our reactionary enemies in the PDP - the usual suspects. Luckily, Jonathan should have realised by now that his political future and the possibility of his having a legacy depend on his ability to delink gradually from the forces of evil in the PDP and cast his lot with the Nigerian people. Who are these evil forces? My net is very wide. If you are a Nigerian and our silly journalists routinely refer to you as an “elder statesman”, “stakeholder”, or “chieftain”, you are bad news. You got us here. We do not need you in 2011. You have done enough damage. We need to put you out of business and get you to retire to your country home to drink palm wine, surrounded by your grandchildren (Rilwanu Lukman is free to retire to Vienna). Hopefully, when we correct your errors and get this country right, you won’t spend the rest of your days using a generator to power that country home of yours. We shall give you the light you denied us. Ibrahim Babangida, Atiku Abubakar and all the other jokers in their ilk should please take note. Putting these people out of business must start with jettisoning a certain yeye family arrangement of the PDP. You hear talk of “zoning agreement” and “the turn of the north till 2015” as if it were some national article of faith we collectively worked out and agreed upon. Now that providence has made that silly arrangement antithetical to the political interests of Goodluck Jonathan, he should dump it in the dustbin and declare his intention to run in 2011 with Nasir El-Rufai as his running mate. With a proper electoral reform that creates a level playing field for everybody, with the evil forces defanged, and with the rigging machine of the PDP put out of commission, I do not see any force capable of stopping a Jonathan/El-Rufai ticket in 2011. The Goodluck Jonathan part of this combination recommends itself for so many reasons, chief among which are the myths it would shatter - I’m kinda tired of the Manifest Destiny psychology of the three big ethnic groups. Post-civil war, we’ve had a situation of perpetual rotation between the recidivist forces in the Hausa-Fulani/Yoruba establishment, each dangling carrots and body language (it will soon be your turn) to useable recidivists in the Igbo establishment. A substantive Jonathan Presidency after 2011 would forever shatter this boring and retrogressive dance of the big three. Even with his ability to be his own man severely curtailed by the manner of his accession to the Acting Presidency, his continued but apparently reluctant membership of the old order that needs to go, the hovering shadow of Yar’Adua, and the lingering, deadly influence of the wounded but still lethal old cargoes in the PDP, the man has shown encouraging signs that could serve as early indications of what he could do and what his predilections would be if he ever gets the chance to have his own unencumbered presidency: Nuhu Ribadu is back in the picture; Dora Akunyili is retained; Aondoakaa is out of commission; the Petroleum Ministry, hitherto the natural habitat of northern recidivists, is in the hands of a woman from the Niger Delta; Yar’Adua’s useless seven-point agenda is out of the window. That is good news. Now to the Nasir El-Rufai part of my dream ticket. I have written glowingly and substantially in the past about El-Rufai’s service to this country. I’ll just address some of the points perpetually recycled to delegitimise him by his detractors. If they insist on smuggling El-Rufai into the negative column of our national narrative, they’ll have to do better than their tiresome repetition of the propagandistic talking points of the Yar’Adua cabal against El-Rufai; they’ll have to do better than rehash corruption charges cooked up by agents of vendetta; they’ll have to do better than accuse him of breaking eggs to make the omelette that was Abuja under him - an Abuja that the Yar’Adua people proceeded to slum up and re-ghettoise just to destroy the legacy of one man. Yes, Nuhu Ribadu and Nasir El-Rufai played a significant role in our present predicament by allowing themselves to be used by Obasanjo to foist the incompetent Yar’Adua on us. But it takes extreme bad faith to assess the entirety of these men’s service to the nation and come out with the conclusion that they belong in the negative column. Haba! A Jonathan/El-Rufai Presidency in 2011 would be a significant departure from the roads travelled thus far. Once that presidency is in place, the likes of Babatunde Fashola and Sullivan Chime should be yanked from their states to join forces with folks like Nuhu Ribadu at the national level; the remaining relics of the old order that have been retained in Jonathan’s new cabinet for political expediency should be weeded into irrelevance and we can all get to work within what I believe would be an expanded space of civic agency that would be nurtured by these two men. We’ve got a country to rebuild. http://234next.com/csp/cms/sites/Next/Opinion/5551603-184/little_ends_2011_towards_a_jonathanel-rufai.csp |

[size=14pt]Why Babangida’s 2011 aspiration may fail [/size] Friday, 09 April 2010 01:18 Max Amuchie In the build up to the 2011 presidential election, one person whose move to contest the election that has generated a lot of interest is Ibrahim Babangida, former military president. In recent times, he has become more visible and just last week he was in Abeokuta to attend the 54th birthday ceremony of the governor of Ogun State, Gbenga Daniel. At the occasion, he said he was still consulting on 2011 and that he had not yet made up his mind. Analysts, however, say the visit was arranged for him to touch base with the political class in the South West. As head of state, between 1985 and 1993, it was under his watch that the June 12, 1993 election said to have been won by late MKO Abiola was annulled. Therefore, appeasing the South West may be a strategy to launch his aspiration to occupy Aso Rock in 2011. In 2006, he had made a feeble attempt to get the ticket of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to contest the 2007 presidential election, a ticket that was eventually given to President Umaru Yar’Adua, then governor of Katsina State. Analysts believe that Babangida has slim chances of getting the ticket. The North, determined to produce PDP’s candidate for 2011, is shopping for a good candidate that has nationwide acceptability. Babangida’s quest may not get the nod of power brokers in that part of the country. He needs regional support to make any progress. There are key groups in the country and in PDP whose interests appear to be at variance with Babangida’s quest. Political analysts say the first person Babangida has to contend with is ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo. In the present dispensation, Obasanjo is a factor. He nominated most members of the newly inaugurated Federal Executive Council (FEC). With the current sour relationship between Acting President Goodluck Jonathan and the Vincent Ogbulafor-led PDP NEC, Obasanjo is expected to play a stabilising role. That also means that he Babangida will have influence on the choice of the party’s candidate for 2011. Babangida One reason Obasanjo will not be comfortable with Babangida becoming president in 2011 is that he may not want anybody that will equal his record as leading Nigeria both as a military head of state and as a civilian president. Obasanjo ruled for three and half years as head of state and eight years as civilian president making a total of 11 and half years. Babangida ruled for eight years as military president. Just one term of four years as civilian president for him will mean that he would have ruled Nigeria for 12 years. With that he will not only equal Obasanjo’s record but will beat it by the number of years in office. Besides Obasanjo, Babangida’s primary constituency, the military, is not likely to support him. Key actors in this constituency are Muhammadu Buhari, whom Babangida overthrew in 1985 and Abdulsalami Abubakar, who ushered in democratic rule in 1999. Both Babangida and Abdulsalami are from Minna, Niger State. The military played a leading role in the emergence of Obasanjo as PDP candidate in 1999. Before Obasanjo was released from prison to contest the party’s presidential primary election, Alex Ekwueme, Second Republic vice president and leader of G-35 that founded the PDP, was the leading presidential aspirant. A source said it was the military that worked on the civilian leaders of the PDP to drop their support for Ekwueme. Though the military no longer wields that level of influence in the party or in the country, their support or lack of it for Babangida can determine his fate in 2011. It is instructive that Babangida has gone to the South West. Though June 12 is no longer a very strong factor in South West politics, if Babangida decides to run, he will have to contend with the radicals in the region who are yet to forgive him for annulling that election. The fear is that those elements will mobilise voters against him. It is for this that the Northern elite may not back him. If he does not get consensus of support from the North, being a military tactician, he will not run. It is this consensus he referred to as consultation. It is a process that is on-going and its outcome will determine his final move. http://www.businessdayonline.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=9955:why-babangidas-2011-aspiration-may-fail-&catid=85:national&Itemid=340 |
[size=14pt]FG assures of radical improvement in power supply [/size] Friday, 09 April 2010 01:23 Anonymous By retaining the power ministry in his office , Acting President Goodluck Jonathan underscored his determination to personally oversee the resolution of the country’s shambolic electricity system. And from his minister of state came a promise that there would be a radical improvement in the availability of electricity in the country in the shortest possible time. Nuhu Wya, minister of state for power, gave the pledge yesterday at a forum of top management staff and journalists as he resumed duties in Abuja. He noted that his team needed to put its act together as no director would be allowed to just sit in an air-conditioned office, doing nothing to meet the challenges in the sector. He said the recently constituted power committee chaired by Jonathan intends to keep the promise by fast tracking the linkage of gas pipelines across the country while consolidating on arrangements with the ministry of defence to help protect pipelines and mitigate vandalism; a move Wya enthused would address the unavailability of gas. “We have a situation where gas is available in one location in the eastern flank of the country and there are not enough plants to consume the gas whereas in the western flank there are so many plants without adequate gas. There is need for a connection; there are two parallel lines that are not meeting. With that committee which the petroleum ministry is part of, we will fast track the linkage of the gas lines so that gas can circulate from either side of the plants to ensure that there is no shortage,” Wya said. The power committee is made up representatives of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Ministry of Finance, Bureau of Public Procurement, Bureau of Public e Enterprises, the ministries of petroleum and water resources as well as oil companies, among others. “Our immediate objective is to improve on power to the generality of Nigeria, get sufficient gas and reinforce our transmission and distribution networks. We will ensure that whatever has been put on ground is improved and sustained to create an enabling environment for the private sector to come in and invest; to make the power sector a very conducive environment for both the present and new participants in the sector. “We are going to explore in the medium term other sources of energy. We have many dams built to tap water resources that have huge hydro electric potentials. We are going to tap into that resource so that we can give Nigerians more electricity and electricity delivered to the point of consumption. “There is no declaration of a state of emergency but we are working in an emergency manner. We are getting all the stakeholders involved to participate in this committee because power is a chain of many stakeholders from the fuel to the generation to the transmission to the distribution and to the consumer,” the minister said. Though declining to address the 6,000 mega watt target issue, Wya noted that as soon as the committee meets a clearer picture would be relayed to the public. Meanwhile, Wya noted that the committee intends to pursue the power reforms instituted in 2005, adding that staff should not be afraid as reforms do not necessarily lead to job loss. “Anyone who does his job need not be afraid,” he said. http://www.businessdayonline.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=9960:fg-assures-of-radical-improvement-in-power-supply-&catid=1:latest-news&Itemid=18 |
^ [size=14pt]Defend yourself against the strong allegations I made against you instead of making the BS claims above.[/size] Is it hard to defend yourself? Why are you running away? Can you defend you mouthing of BNP mantra here as well as your adoration of Nick Griffin. These are straightforward accusations. |
Sagamite:Unfailingly daft. There isn't even a single mention of "[size=14pt]National Park[/size]" in your link. What point were you trying to make? No one is as foolish as you to give out their National Parks. Sagamite:[size=14pt]I think I can conclude that you are a racist Idiot, who is here to promote the viewpoint of the BNP.[/size] The allegations I made against you are not minor by any stretch and I have used your own words as evidence, but you can't offer the slightest defence. Are you a BNP implant on NL? You are an obvious fool who doesn't know the difference between "freely given" and leased. A fool who thinks National Parks are there to be shared out freely as farmland. Saraki never gave out any land, talkless of giving out National Parks; in fact that sounds like some drugged up stuff. You are so foolish and obnoxious, your birth was a loss to humanity. |
nex:When your mates were up in arms against Yar'Aduas commandeered government, you were in full support of the cabal. Now that things are settling down, you want call for revolution and you want to stop paying your taxes. Where were you when you were needed? How are we even sure you have ever paid a tax. Enemies of progress. ![]() |
You said there is no country that can give away land, I gave you example of Saraki.Did Saraki give away land? You must be a bigger fool than I thought. Why are you running away from defending your worthless position. In fact, I am beginning to thing that one of the names your parents gave you is "slowpoke", thats why you love the sound so much. www.nairaland.com/attachments/180447_ROTFLMAO_gif3d0c775232c7f27cf80592785b9635b6 Why do you love racists so much that you have stoutly defended them here. Why is your choice of words also similar to the choice of words racist use? Sagamite: Lets face it, the UK is overcrowded due to the horrible policy of some liberal fools that ran the UK and this needs to be corrected, some people need to leave.This is well known BNP racist mantra! [size=14pt] Sagamite: And for your info, the head of BNP is a Cambridge grad.For goodness sake, this man is the leader of a white supremacist party![/size] Sagamite: Take some of the lands, not all, from the whites (i.e. land obtained legally but on biased basis) and pass it to the skilled blacks. If the white chooses, he can buy it back from the black.[size=14pt]Defend your racism promoting stance instead of dodging behind abuse. Or are you incapable?[/size] |
Sagamite:Is Saraki your role model in addition to Nick Griffin? You don't fail to shock. [size=14pt]Please tell me which National park Saraki gave away[/size]. You are so so dim! Do you know the meaning of National Park?You still have not defended your slobbering at racists and why Nick Griffin is your role model. There isn't any foolish thing I have heard that equals this. Damn! [size=14pt]After suffering apartheid, you mean the next step South Africa should take is gave away their national parks for farming? [/size] Dim boy. You need to rest. You must be very very tired. |
evil666:It is Beaf please. Not everybody can hold or understand a technical discussion, not everybody can go out to raise money or put money in the hands of the common man and downtrodden, not everybody is interested in selflessly contributing to the development of Nigeria. More than all the above, those who are uninterested will find our topics boring (and good riddance too). These things will be the natural filter. Have you visited the Programming section of NL? Please do and report back with how much abuse you found there. https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/board-34.0.html If you are not ready to contribute anything, at the very least, support those who are (or keep away), because we are not joking. |
^ Kai! I now pity you. ![]() Sagamite:Are those what you call answers? You must be even mentally worse than I thought. Have you checked this page? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yankari [size=14pt]In any event, in what country have you ever seen that they gave away a National park for farming?[/size] Dull boy. ![]() |

^ It doesn't take much brainpower to keep to topic, does it? Sagamite:Only an ignoramus thinks so. It is a well documented fact that 96 percent of arable land is in the hands of whites, more importantly; South Africa (nor any other country) is not known for forests that can be freely given to any comer. You might be far from the brightest spark, but please stop defending aborminal racists. Your job here seems to be the defense of racism and bowing to racists, you will not be getting off lightly with this; Sagamite: [size=14pt]And for your info, the head of BNP is a Cambridge grad.[/size]Defend your position so that we don't conclude you are really a white racist. I will repost this; Beaf: What land was obtained legally, "but on biased basis"? This is the dimmest thing I've heard. You need to obtain basic knowledge before making airy comments that might be hurtful to Blacks that have fallen victim to the evil of apartheid, there is nothing legal about Whites owning 96% of commercial arable land in an African country. |
Sagamite:I'm talking about just you. Dumbo. Why haven't we heard you begging for us to see you as intelligent lately? You're beginning to get boring. Sagamite:What land was obtained legally, "but on biased basis"? This is the dimmest thing I've heard. You need to obtain basic knowledge before making airy comments that might be hurtful to Blacks that have fallen victim to the evil of apartheid, there is nothing legal about Whites owning 96% of commercial arable land in an African country. No surprise at your remarks though, considering your open admiration for British White supremacist, racist thugs, the BNP; Sagamite: And for your info, the head of BNP is a Cambridge grad.You have obviously forgotten, that like the worst of thugs and gutter dwellers, Nick Griffin is a convict. But then, with your self proclaimed "unorthodox approach", you might admire convicts too. Its in tune. |
At the very best, this story is an attempt at 419; at the worst, it is a case of the usual gutter journalism. The description of the machine violates the laws of nature. The law of conservation of energy is the most basic of all laws and can never be violated, it says; "energy cannot be created or destroyed, only converted from one form to another". Put simply, if you don't put fuel (or other energy) in the generator, nothing will come out of it. As a matter of fact you must put more energy in than you can get out. This is because payment has to be made for various types of "friction", the usual friction between gears, pulleys, other moving parts and losses from conversion of one form of energy into another or heat losses from the flow of an electrical current (this happens even in superconductors). This is a case of irresponsible reporting. |
RSA:I said it earlier that ANC would only throw out any offending journalists! Its not even 24 hours and it has happened. Such songs are commonplace in the ANC, they cannot afford to be seen to be cowed by the deserved death of a particularly nasty racist. It is good for the journalist, his agency has much more to lose from not covering ANC gatherings than from battling songs which even kids sing. Those songs will take generations to wipe out and that will not happen before the lowly stop feeling the pain of apartheid. |
Sagamite:Yeah, I made a typo once in reply to. But wonders! You never noticed, but instead repeated my error several times in your reply. Neanderthal just out of a tree! . . ."Monkey see, monkey do". Lets hear you begging to be called intelligent and superior again. Its sooooooo funny! ![]() |

morpheus24:There is no group that can separate the South African whites from the likes of the AWB, but the whites themselves. I am yet to hear any loud condemnation of AWB from South African Whites. I do not agree with you that groups like AWB feel their culture, language and identity to be under threat. Such groups tend to have identities and histories made up of far fetched myths and glorious fabrications; in fact, other groups that share their space turn out to be victims of the bullying tactics and crazed "realities" of groups like AWB. It so from Nero to Hitler. They would always blame others for their current state, loss of their purity or other such fantastic delusions of who and what they are. They will also attempt any violence they can get away with. Will there be a race war? I tend to agree with your conclusions as far as that goes, the only exception is if SA decides to take them out the same way the Branch Davidians were dealt with. They are a bunch of nutters that need very close and possibly violent govt attention (even if only to prove a point). |
People are jealous of Adeboye just because he decieved poor people and used their money to buy a plane for God. God can now go to London and New York. |
Sagamite:Its funny how the same "God" also "sent" a madman to Calabar to ram his taxi into the belly of a plane. Madness has various levels. Perhaps in your domestic life, you are sorrounded by an audience of idiots thats what makes you feel you can jump out of trees, begging people to think you are smart, whereas all that is between your ears is 5 day old akamu.
