bro, you might actually be wasting your time, nigerians have a lot to worry about than talk about issues americans are even ignorant about. good news, not everyone is a fool in this age of information. you have the right to research and anyone who cares to, will have a rude awakening of whats coming.

Yes, Nigerians have much to worry about, but it isn't some wacky conspiracy theory. The next generation of extremists is being created.

Where does C++ come ? It seems it is getting outdating with the influ of more modern programs; PHP , python

Thats right, except you really need to tinker with low level stuff, C++ is too unproductive and outmoded. Both C# and Java currently compete with C++ for raw performance.
PHP and Python are also being outclassed by Ruby. PHP also has a reputation for insecurity.

then she should resign.

She mustn't.
Let her be present in the FEC to drill them out from the inside, all in the pleasure that they don't have the power to sack her. . . Give them a sweet taste of their own medicine.

A few more will join her and the empire will collapse.

An angry Ogunewe immediately rushed at Dogo in a bid to hit him, but Dogo ran from his seat.

Ogunewe chased after him until Dogo tripped and fell in the chamber, raising his hands and begging Ogunewe not to punch him.

“Please, please, I beg you in the name of God; I am sorry,” he pleaded.

But the obviously livid Ogunewe rained abuses on Dogo for daring to threaten him with suspension.

“How could he have talked about suspension? This was the same man who moved a motion for my suspension before. He is threatening me again, let him dare it,” he fumed.[/quote]Militants don reach NASS too?

Dora must not resign. In the current status quo, she cannot be sacked, so she can continue the battle from within and widen the cracks among FEC members.

Nigeria; good people, failed nation.

Yar Adua is lost in the diaspora.
Nigeria; prayerful people, yeye nation.

Searching for Yar Adua.

This is a related article, also from the Punch.

The refusal of President Umaru Yar’Adua to hand over power to Vice-President Goodluck Jonathan has turned Nigeria into a laughing stock at an international conference in Cape Town, South Africa.

One of the speakers at the Mining Indaba Conference and a global economist, Dr. David Hale, told participants on Tuesday that Yar’Adua was very ill and might pass on within six months.

He was not done with the comment as he went on to add that Nigeria would prepare for another election in six months after the expected passage of the President.

He said, “In Nigeria, the President has been in Saudi Arabia for nearly three months for medical treatment and he refused to hand over to the vice-president, even though the people are calling for it.

“He is suffering from acute heart problems and should be dead in six months. So, in Nigeria, there should be a new election in six months after the death of the President.”

The remarks by Hale, who is the Chairman of David Hale Global Economics, surprisingly elicited loud laughter from the participants and protests from members of the Nigerian team at the event.

Delivering the keynote address titled “Global Outlook,” Hale also said that Nigeria, which needed at least 20,000 megawatts for stable electricity supply, however, regretted that the nation was only able to generate 2,000MW.

In a country by country analysis, the respected economist said that Nigeria’s poor power supply made it a difficult environment to invest in.

Hale, whose clients include investment management firms, major hedge funds and multinational companies, is based in Chicago, United States.

He is a member of the National Association of Business Economists and the New York Society of Security Analysts.

The participants comprised mining executives from across the world, investors, analysts, financiers, journalists, policy makers, etcetera.

Speaking at the Nigerian Day at the Indaba Conference, the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Solid Minerals, Senator George Sekibo, described Hale’s comments as unfortunate and highly condemnable.

Sekibo said that Nigeria would make its displeasure on Hale’s comments known to the organisers of conference and demand an apology .

According to him, the Nigerian government will be advised to also take up the matter diplomatically when the delegation returns home.

Sekibo said, “It is important for participants at the conference to note that Nigeria has taken giant strides in mining, especially in the last few years; that is in addition to providing the much needed infrastructure for investors’ participation.

“We assure you that Nigeria is stable. There is not going to be any war anywhere, there is not going to be any division anywhere.

“Mr. President is not feeling very well now, every person can have such a situation. And I believe he will come out of it. Nigeria will still stand as a very strong country.”

Another member of the Nigerian team, Alhalji Suleiman Kassim, also condemned the claim by Hale that Nigeria’s total electricity output was only 2000MW.

Kassim, who is the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Mines and Steel Development, explained that Nigeria was generating over 3000MW and was hoping to increase it to 6000MW.

He maintained that since Indaba was a professional conference for stakeholders in the mining industry to relate, it should not be exploited by “uninformed political commentators” to deride a sovereign nation.

Meanwhile, the Special Adviser to the President on National Assembly Matters, Senator Mohammed Abba-Aji, is to appear before the Senate on Thursday (today).

The Peoples Democratic Party caucus in the Senate is also scheduled to meet at the official residence of the President of the Senate, Mr. David Mark.

Mark, who announced this during plenary on Wednesday, did not give reasons for Abba-Aji’s invitation.

It was, however, gathered that it was a fallout of the closed- door session which the Senate held with the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Alhaji Yayale Ahmed, on January 21, 2010 over the President’s health.

Abba-Aji is expected to, among other things, answer questions as to whether or not the President asked him to transmit a letter to the National Assembly on his behalf.

A national newspaper (not THE PUNCH) had reported that the President wrote a letter to the National Assembly in line with the provisions of Section 145 of the 1999 Constitution before he travelled to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

The newspaper report said the Presidential aide did not transmit the letter for unknown reasons.

[size=14pt]Yar’ Adua: Nigeria mocked in South Africa[/size]

President Umaru Yar‘Adua

The refusal of President Umaru Yar’Adua to write the National Assembly and consequently hand over power to Vice President Goodluck Jonathan since going for foreign medical check up on November 2009 has turned Nigeria into a laughing stock at the international fora, one of which is the ongoing Mining Indaba Conference holding in Cape Town, South Africa.

One of the speakers at the first day conference, Dr. David Hale made a remark that President Yar’ Adua was very ill and would die within six months and this elicited loud laughter from the audience.

Yar’ Adua has been at the King Faisal Specialist Hospital, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia since November 23, 2009 where he is receiving treatment for acute pericarditis, an inflammation of the outer membrane of the heart.

Delivering the keynote address on the Global Outlook, Hale, who is the chairman of David Hale Global Economics, also said Nigeria would be preparing to hold new elections in six months after the expected death of Mr. President.

Hale who was making country by country analysis, further claimed that Nigeria power generation capacity was only 2000 mega watts whereas the need was 20,000MW, adding that the shortage of electricity made the country a difficult environment to invest in.

babaearly:
I'm really happy to see Nigerians for the first time in many years taking the Federal government head on and with zeal and passion. This is good news for a growing nation. I hope you guys keep this up till after 2011. enough of this nonsense.

Joke. Will 2011 happen?

vigasimple:

Maybe Nigeria is a failed expriment in putting different people of different background together in the first place, time and only time will tell.

The southerners have records of connivince with the North as a result of Long throat. The North feed us with our money and abuse us in the process.

Too right!

“This New Nation called Nigeria, should be an estate of our great grandfather, Uthman Dan Fodio. We must ruthlessly prevent a change of power. We use the minorities in the North as willing tools, and the South, as conquered territory and never allow them to rule over us, and never allow them to have control over their future.” ---Sir Ahmadu Bello, Sardauna of Sokoto in THE PARROT of October 12, 1960

“The conquest to the sea is now in sight. When our god-sent Ahmadu Bello said some years ago that our conquest will reach the sea shores of Nigeria, some idiots in the South were doubting its possibilities. Today have we not reached the sea? Lagos is reached. It remains Port-Harcourt. It must be conquered and taken.” --- Mallam Bala Garuba in WEST AFRICAN PILOT, December 30, 1964.

One of the greatest maladies of ignorance is to be ignorant of one’s own ignorance.

Highly instructive.

Bauchi does not fail to shock. That is the same state where both governor and his deputy were missing from the state for weeks. Thats why Yar Adua's behaviour is normal to them.

. . .Some of the 952 might have been involved in the various riots plaguing that state and its neighbours.

Nchara:
Dora has always been a brave woman. This is the first step. Resignation may come later or may not come at all, depending on how YARADUA's illness plays out. Of all the men and women in the FEC she is the only one with guts. She is the only 'man'' amongst them. kudos Dora; continue to showcase what stuff you represent.

In our uselessly partriachal society, it has taken a woman to show up those gutless men. Big up Dora!

citizenY:
@Beaf,

I follow tpia yawn. you suppose join nollywood.

Only you will require a scriptwriter.

It will be a bad ending for Cameroun to give back Bakassi becos e no go happen.

Maybe you can produce some Tom ad Jerry films or some series like Incredible Hulk.

Maybe some musical documentaries too.

I no Know say you no like me reach dis level

It is instructive that I poted this article before the one here https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-392314.0.html

I am quite sure the Niger Delta Confederation will not make gifts of its people to other nations, like they are merely inconsequential objects. The ship called Nigeria is sinking, the last planks will soon be swamped and submerged by national greed and stupidity.

Did you enjoy the video?

naijamark:
Why do I have a feeling Cyberfreak and K3769 are one and same person?
@beaf, is that a place in Nigeria?

Yes, those are almajiri's with their babies at a rubbish dump (background) in Lagos. They are a living exposition of the morals, outlook and economic exports of a people who would espouse Al Qaeda to mass murder their Southern and Middle Belt benefactors.

snowdrops:
I know you must have forgotten to take your medications today.
Abi na TBJ we go carry you go meet

Just make sure you send your kids to school so they don't think stup!dly like you.
A persons level of reasoning is intimately tied to their level of literacy. Instead of calling for Al Qaeda's help to fight those who feed you, why don't you engage your brain's (if any) and get an education?

"Thats why there is Boko Haram, Kala Kato, wretchedness and almajiri's in the Hausa/Fulani areas of the North.
Concern yourself first with the visible Hausa/Fulani problems. . ., they are; excessive levels of illiteracy, squalor, deprivation, exploitation, underage marriages, polio, river blindness, rejection of civilisation, desertification, emptiness, lust for power driven by laziness, poverty, street begging, terrorism, Mutallabs etc."

I just outsmart almajiri's like you, again and again and again. Ode.
You people, go and bring Al Qaeda to fight your benefactors and see what the harvest will be.
