How much will this one consume ?

Very important question!

This only shows the decay our political leaders come to represent!
Without any form of restraint or diplomacy, they open their dingy mouth in public!

I understand you fears and i have the same fears too but there is just so much we can do. I talked about understanding the value of education. The kids we have on schoolarship understand the value and the need, we review their results and greatly encourage them to read and improve on what is being tought. We have a partnership with teachers ithout borers and believe me you will be amazed how good and patriotic thses Nigerian Teachers we are so quick to condemn are. Theyhave so many practical and applicable forms of teaching these kids. Do you know that Students from Governement college Jai are the World SAGE champhions beating private schools in Nigeria and the whole world which was held in Brazil. Thesestudents invented a method which refines water and pumbs water to their host community. These are the students am talking about, children whoknow and value education. Yes we have some half baked students who are too lazy to study and think for themselves, and we will always have people like that vene if the educational system is 100%. If you know the value of something youas a student would do anything to have it and cherish , nurture and develop it.

@Aisha
you speak as one who has crossed that line of doubt and as such i grant you that respect for your total believe. I would however beseech you to forgive my pessimism.
You wrote a while ago about the need of the individual seeking education valuing the necessity of such! But how many of our little ones now value such? They seem corrupted by the urge and need for quick money that i fear they would lack the patience to acquire proper education. The Nigerian society (with particular reference to the North) still has not lost its atitude on the necessity of a girl child education? Whenever hey are finihsed with their childish gambol in the name of schooing, they are quickly married off to retardedly obese mallams. I also see the lack of education in our country as the main hindrance behnd the resurcitation of our manufacturing industry, as the teachers who teach at school only regurgitate notebooks of decades past. I applaud the ingenuity of those kids at the SAGE competition, but how well would they impact on the nigerian economy, how sturdy is their hide to the harshness of reality that the Nigerian society provides

Lke i said earlier, i am confused! I would like to know how you have been able to overcome a few of these challenges!

emekatimsu:
Most Nigerians (especially the Igbos) residing in Abuja can't 4give El-rufai for rendering them homeless during his days as FCT minister,then he disobeyed court orders & won't mind whose ass he kicked while discharging his duties. I am of the opinion that he should'nt complain or petition any body since the SSS people are also doing there work.
Nonsense.

Okay, you have a point!
But lets put a human face to it all. If he was being partisan about whose house he demolished, then you people would have labeled him corrupt! He decided to stick to the hardest part, which i still believe he would have done in a more humane way, and executed his duties. However, because we live in a society as ours, this man has been found wanting NOT his family! so why dont they go after EL RUFAI?

chic2pimp:
Na so we see am oo.

Dat money fit even help fund your presidential campaign abi?

Is this not double-standard?
Money that would have been used to repair that tortuous road from Warri to Port Harcourt is being used to satiate the greed of these crimelords-cum-freedom fighters!

@Aisha
I applaud your effort to give the girl child education, however i must raise my worry over the quality of the education that is being churned out from the Nigerian system.
I had colleagues who graduated with me and yet could not muster a complete sentence in pure unalduterated english! I had friends in school then who did not still understand the basic sciences that they ought to have passed four years back!.
These are worrying signs i must admit, for a little education is a dangerous thing. If eduation is to be givn it has to be proper and has to come it its altruistic form. When employers complain about the lack of qualified manpower in the country you would wonder, are there not over 40% unemployed Nigerians out there?? But their level of education is at a base, and rather they have made certification their watch word.
There has to be a total overhaul of the educational system, otherwise we would keep stuffing the center with half baked unemployeable individuals who lack the ability to influence society!
Aisha, i really am at a crossroad, because we cannot leave the young ones unschooled, and yet when we attempt to school them they become uneducated, when we attempt to educate them, the system refuses!

These security officials are just incompetent fops!

Is Farida deluded?
Is she making mockery of our collective intelligence as a Nation? Is corruption not deep rooted in every sphere of our nation? Even in the medical homes! Which doctor would under his/her right senses certify an aspirant as a future corrupt leader and hope to keep his/her job/life? Why am i even going too far with my postulations, Farida would not do this, she would not contemplate it, she is only wasting print space on our national dailies, she should handle the cases she has with her presently then we would know that we are headed somewhere. If i am not wrong, She has not indicted one single political officer accused of corruptiuon since assuming office!

@Aisha
The problem is that our leadership is bereft of ideas, they actally do not have a laid out blue print. All that talk of Vision 2010, 2020, 2025 is all balderdash and you know it as well as i know it that it is just a postponement campagn to save face.
Africa needs EDUCATION to elevate itself. The west knows this, that is why it is easier for them to send us food aids rather than give us education. If we are perpetually dependent on food aid we would not have the boost to request education. The illiterates are better fanatics, and that is what the West and East want of Africans.
But! we can redeem ourselves, we can educate our struggling many and givethem liberation! Only if we elevate ourselves from the depth of ethnic bigotry and superstitious infirmary.

Phlegmwash:
Dora is doin her job,no doubt abt that. She's an outstandin technocrat, a Nigerian patriot, but its a shame she's just one member of a lame team: the FG team. Sony's ad depictin Nigerians may not b entirely wrong considerin how our no1 citizen scammed his to his office. Tell me wat moral justificatn he has 4 prosecutin d Harliburton case, conductn credible elections etc. May God help us

Please can you detail out Dora's Job functions?
You seem quite familiar with what she needs to do! So tell us exactly what her portfolio entails!, Thank You!

I bet you, legalization of homosexuality would ignite a revolution which most Nigerians have been longing for.
Just turn a new leaf if you are a potential ADAM + ADAM.

One old saying goes , Adam was meant for Eve and not Steve!!!

Aloy is a has no life

Tribalism isn't a negative thing as long as you leave insults out. The yorubas on his list dont insult other tribes, they just feel their tribe is better and have always provided facts to back their arguments.

But the others on his LIST ARE KNOWN FOR TRIBAL INSULTS and not to mention they're much more in number. The guy left his "other friends" out. If you make a list be honest and put yourself there Ode.

Sjeezy insults everyone and doesnt discriminate.

@Sjeezy
I think we should drop the "Insult" habit, not too good!

I really believe a feminine creature at the head of affairs in this country would be the ultimate calamity. Look around you and see all the women currently in our political sphere! Sen. Ita Giwa, Turai Yar'Adua, Dora, etc they have that characteristic that makes one scared, they are easily malleable and as such would do worse in terms of corruption and tyranny than any male head of state we have ever had.

@Becomrich
your rambling was beginning to make a little sense, but Dora is not geting past this Yar'Adua's first term in her political career. I think she has outlived her usefulness, and the PDP knows that. Once she's s out of the cabinet its over and out for her political career

Why is it so easy for ethnic undertone to raise its head quickly whenever a major issue arises in the polity?
It simply points to the fact that the bond that held us together all these years is quickly eroding and soon things would fall apart without recourse to those at the head of the Nigerian state!

@poster
you are a gaylord, even though your english is appalling!

those boys are ffcking bastards!!!!!!!!!!!

we would lose this game jare

Sine1:
Is he any different from you or me?

Well i dont know about you and Gaby, but I am different from this "dude"

amaechijay:
It's just that they know they are prosecuting him wrongly, .

That is why they are choosing to be blind when Ribadu entered the shores of the country under their watchful eyes and other security agents.

They are not choosing to be blind, rather they really are blind!!!
My best bet is that Osama came into this country 12 times between January and August, and our [i]un[/i]Intelligent Service unit did not know!

@ Jakumo
its a round complex cycle of clean white sheets and messy pigs. When the clean white sheet start accsing the swiny fellow of his insalubrious inclinations, he is most likely going to be cajoled by the pig to help clean him up. sooner or later the white clothe would see reasons with the pig and end up defeated.
There are several clothes inside the pen which were all white (at least to our eyes) before, LET KUMUYI learn from then. Stay off Nigeran Politics unless you are the BLEACH itself!

aisha2:
Your statement is sad, sick and unfortunate. I wonder where you and your fathers wll have been now if the Missionaries who wanted to bbring education to us had said "those african monkeys are okay in their ignorance they dont deserve to be educated", Am so sad when young people reason with thier anus.

too caustic Aisha!!!
I am not too comfortable with his point of view also, but i think we should be a lot more tolerant! Cheers

when are the names coming out

texazzpete:
So let me get this clear

1 billion Naira spent on feeding people during Ramadan is condemnable because it could have 'been used to build hospitals, schools etc'.

So where are the 'hospitals, schools, etc' built with the tens of billions of Naira given to the Niger Delta states as monthly allocation?

If you had an issue with the Ramadan, why did you lot accept the two days public holidays? Afterall, the man-hours lost during the holidays could have yielded money which could have been used to build hospitals, schools etc' in the Niger Delta.

The same people advocating that Nigeria should institute a welfare scheme are the ones angrily protesting this issue. Before you start alleging stolen money, has any one of you done a cost estimate of how much it really would have cost to feed these people?

Not one of you took any umbrage at the scandalous amount of money being paid to the thousands of millitants under the amnesty package - including the rumoured $3,000,000 paid to Boyloaf alone.

@Texaspete
Even if we had worked the two extra days, the revenue would still have been gulped down and there would stil be no schools, hospitals etc, so the truth is we are all ranting about things we have no solution to!

I think so too, but when you get into the public domain and make utterances you expose yourself to the frailty of the system.
He should not come out like Adeboye (King Maker) is doing and all would be fine

@ Igwe USA
you obviously have stayed in the US so long you have forgotten how dirty and deadly Nigerian politics is,

Is there a law in place to that effect??
All these are just word of mouth to soothe the current yearning of the people!

very simple!
he is part of the Nigerian political public environment, with his involvement in failed public declaration he simply can be regarded as part f the problem!
capische

@ ALL
This still boils down to the need for a stronger alliance amongst the African countries save the Arabs. A truly Pan African state would no doubt come with its challenges, but it would unite all within the African nations the towards realisation of themselves and their purpose of existence.
The outside world ALWAYS thinks itself superior to the African continent, and whenever rather than help the continent to its feet, they feel content to always send in "food aid" a sign of perpetual dominance. We have to seek redemption through Pan-Africanism, i see no other way out now reall!

Please can any one give me the links to the guys last stories!!!

why? We have been together this long without making any meaningful progress, maybe we should think of the alternative!
