Do we really have Engineers in the country?
Why do we import everything even toothpick?
Why is it that country like Iran man their oil industry by themselves and we still rely heavily on foreign partners?
Why do NSE use Engineer as title which is not applicable in any part of the world?

What we have in Nigeria is Engineering workers not Engineers.

Did late Yardua deploy jonathan to talk with the ND terrorists during the militancy era ?

BetaThings:
Nothing wrong indeed
But did you recommend the same about Jonathan when he was VP to Yaradua when MEND was on a roll?

slap1:
Let them bring it on, there's really nothing to fear anymore: We've heard gunshots and seen bombs, unless they will be innovative enough to use airstrikes.

dayokanu:
How can a clueless person solve our problems.

We voted a reetarded President who believes prayers is the solution to crime, We voted a mumu President who in the midst of bombings told us not to panic because it happens everywhere in the world

You better bring your bench outside and enjoy your fresh air since we voted GEJ and not PDP

@o.poster,
you are suffering from what i call, ABNORMAL REASONING and you better see your pastor but if signs and symptoms continue after 3 days, u better commit SUICIDE.
have u ever asked yourself, which one problem has jonathan solved as the vice, acting and the president of nigeria?
apart from boko haram, we have chronic corruption among the ruling class which is doing more harm than boko haram to this jungle called nigeria. we also have death traps in the name of roads. we have his kinsmen who prefer to be called militants of petroleum, we have eastern kidnappers, we have an epileptic educational system where high way robbers, political thugs and professional LovePeddlers are bred. uncle, we also have a non existing electric system that even force un-using users to pay more and get less. we have great hospitals that exist by names and can never handle headache. we have a very corrupt police that prefers to be the threat instead of the security. we have the highest salary earners in the name of law makers turned law breakers. our judiciary system is non-existent as those who steal N1,000 in nigeria risks more jail terms than those who betray our public trusts and steal over N100b.
you can do us a favour by linking us to one area where u think your jonathan has fared well since he became the president.

You just reduced a violent of over 4 years to about two paragraph of mere fantansy ? So when cult groups clash,must they kidnap oyinbos,toddlers,old women even as far as calabar ? I never knew Ateke vs asari clashes in Ph can reach calabar and uyo ! Stop deceiving yourself,Mend is as useless as boko haram. war against Ateke Tom Niger Delta Vigilante(Iceland cult) over supremacy and maily linked to oil bunkering activities. Asari continued provoked utternaces against the Nigeria goverment led to OBJ calling for his arrest. In protesting for Asari arrest, several militant group which hitherto where fighting for resource control came together to form MEND in a village close to Amassoma in Bayelsa State- mind you most of the people at the formation stage where learned hence the name Movement for Emancipation of Niger Delta.
Upon formation of MEND they commence with kidnapping of foreign workers in the creeks hoping to use that to negotiate for Asari release but to no avail. This is what later degenerated to the series of kidnapping demand for ramsone and attacks on oil facilities intensifying. Although Asari was released shortly after Late Yar Adua took his oath of office, kidnapping had successfully been hijacked by criminals as a stable business that pays well. Original agitators continued their attack on oil facilities and reduced civilian casuaties as much as they can. It was always a battle between JTF and Tompolo group or JTF vs Ateke, etc. At several times the various groups fight themselves when boundaries are crossed hence making the job easier for JTF.
Whereas the agitations has brought about increased funding in NDDC, creation of Niger Delta Ministry, more attention to ND indigenes in recent recruitment/scholarship, etc. Although I personally condem some of the activities of the militants of ND, BOKO HARAM cannot be compared to them. Boko haram SHOULD TELL THEIR PEOPLE WHAT THEY STAND TO BENEFIT IF NOT FOR THE FOOLISH 72 VIRGINS.

Yes MEND is useless but their agitation brought some benefit. Tell me about BOKO HARAM. The group clahes only spread to other ND CITIES.

0lumide:
Thank you super much!!!!!!!! Thank you thank you!!

But what was the story of Soboma? And how did he connect into all this, I met him after he broke out of jail he told me that though because I wasn't around when that happened, I met him London once, then again in Canada while I was studying! He pretty much told me a lot about the Niger Delta and hence why I decided to do my services in PH!!!

phreakabit:
Dude, I have family in PH. Those activities where not perpetrated by MEND alone! Ever heard about those street gangs they have over there?

baslone:
Boko Haram guyz are makin d likes of Asari Dokubo, Boyloaf, Ateketom, Tompolo, Saboma George etc look like mere boys scouts

Why do Igbo people always make every thing about Rivers an Igbo and the rest affair ? Anyway Tonye Cole is from the Kalabari part of the Ijoid Rivers. And Rivers state zoning system at this time would not allow a Kalabari man to be minsiter. It is the turn of the Ibani group and so PEPPLE is the rightful person to represent the Ijaws of Rivers. Ajumogobia was the Ijaw rep of Rivers as minsiter and he is KALABARI. Prior to him was ABIYE SEKIBO who is from Okrika. Tonye was not really replaced by WIKE but By PEPPLE. Wike's nomination is welcome by every Rivers son so you non Rivers people should just shut up and face the politics of your state and leave Rivers state alone.

Killa.

15 Special Advisers, huh? So, what will the President be doing? Does it mean he will not be thinking at all? :

EzeUche:
Imo state is the cleanest state in all of Nigeria.

Especially if you go to GREEN Owerri.

But if you want the cleanest cities, I would rank them in this order.

1. Calabar
2. Owerri
3. Enugu
4. Jos

@ Rhino and co
Some of you have never been to port-hacourt, that's why I will forgive your ignorance. Ikwerres hate Igbos so much that about 30% of their men are married to eastern Igbos. They despise Igbos so much that they are members of Ohaneze ndigbo. They loathe us so much that their beautiful ladies contest in the AdaIgbo beauty pageant. Just like Ezeuche affirmed, eastern Igbos outnumber them in their own territory. If you have questions just ask instead of displaying your unquantifyable ignorance.And pls stop using those "My girlfirnd is Ikwerre" argument to make a point. It's only on nairaland that people have Yoruba father, igbo mother, hausa aunty, ijaw uncle etc just so that they can lie through their teeth.

EzeUche:
A minor Igbo clan that does not know its roots.

Rivers state is Igbo. Do not make the mistake to think the Ikwerre are the only Igbo clan in Rivers state.

Do you think Igboland stops at Abia and Imo?

I could care less what the Ikwerre think. Why is it my concern, when they are such a small group?

Chyz*:
Ndigbo, we are on a come up!

I hope you are seeing the benefit of keeping the Rivers State Igbos in the SS, at the end it works out for us all.

VoodooDoll:
Ok,

How do we know that this isn't just a cynical ploy to chase away new entrants or the competition.

-1) Drop the price to N1,350, temporarily, which you suspect is below the break even point for your competitors;

-2) Announce to the world at large that you've dropped the price;

-3) Your announcement puts political and social pressure on your competitors to drop their prices;

-4) Competitors go out of business; and

-5) You then raise your price well past the old high price, blame some "rascals" and head straight to the bank laughing!!!

EzeUche:

Omo_Tier1:
Throughout the campaigns and even now I keep hearing about 'Mr President''s transformation agenda, especially on the lips of his new cabinet ministers. Then I asked myself, what exactly is it?

When I look at the current UK government for example, when they came onboard last May 2010, they made 'cuts' in immigration, welfare, and public debt thier agenda and just about anyone on the street knew quite well that was what they stood for.However, when I look at GEJ and His government, and his much trumpeted 'transformation agenda' I am left with questions of what exactly it is and sincerely, I wish anybody could expantiate more.

RUBBISH!

Why shouldn't they be in Abuja. Isn't it where all the money meant for development of their villages are spent recklessly?

All beggars should be in Abuja and no where else. Enough of this pretending to live in a 1st world city in a 3rd/4th world country. Instead of forcefully moving beggars away, the eediots should STOP stealing and fix the country and beggars will naturally gravitate to their homes with an opportunity to find a job that can provide food for them and their families.

GEJ! Fix the electricity problems, expand the railways, reduce recurrent expenditure, curb the excesses of security agents and uphold human rights! Beggars will be far away from you in Abuja and Otuoke!
