This is not new at all, it has been around for many years. In fact, I heard that during Biafran civil war folks were sniffing horse asss to get high.
I guess, it is true that Nigerians are damn too creative.

I agree.
I guess, one has to beat Mckren on the head with a dry wood to wake up from this permanent comatose.

So many probes going on, hope we will see the results. I am not too comfortable with the gradual shifting of attention from the likes of Ibori, seems our president is up to something.

Anything that will implicate OBJ will be delayed, prolonged, stretched and eventually dissappear.

How do you successfully prosecute bunch of criminals (governors and ministers) that continue to point fingers at OBJ as the main beneficiary of their crimes?
It is almost impossible.

Why is it almost impossible?
Because OBJ will not be touched by this administration under any circumstance; it is a done deal, the man has a life time home-made Sovereign Immunity.
Just to keep the fire burning, from time to time, he (OBJ) might give up one or two of his drossy sidekicks (eg Ehindero, Aborishade etc) as a cow to be sacrificed to empower his immunity status or to further distract the public from seeing the light.
This is also the main reason why it has been very difficult to arrest, Tinubu or Odelli

So, what is next?
Nigerians will continue to whine, cry, complain and then move on as usual.

Why things always go down like this in Nigeria?
Because Nigerians just do not have what it takes. They are not bold enough and absolutely lack the willpower that is needed to restore things back to normal in this country.

FYI: Kalu, Ibori, Dariye, Fayose, Igbinedion etc, are all ready to present evidences that implicate OBJ and others in the plots.
Therefore, we might not see the end of all these cases.

Fact!

Do you honestly think any of this would have come out if Mighty Ribadu was still the chairman of EFCC?

Just chill and see, there are plenty more to come out. At this point OBJ self wouldn't have any choice but to come out and defend himself. And something keeps telling me that eventually Ribadu will also be called.

The outcome of selective Operations:
Oil and gas sector
Aviation tower project
Power sector
Ojaokuta Steel project
Presidential runaway money jet

If we still have trouble seeing that the problems on the ground in Nigeria today were mostly created and left behind by Ribadu and OBJ, then I think we will never see a thing ever again.

Fact!

Stop waisting your time destroying OBJ and Ribadu images, it won't do you any good. Your hatred for progress especially those that come with changes has made you attain a legendary status among nuisance

Unbelievable.
My man, you totally got it wrong.
It is obvious that you know nothing about Big B1.

At this point in time, IBB would have been a better president for Nigeria.

Trust me.

Jama:
You sound like an injured police dog. You need to calm down, my friend.
I wasn't the one that sent Ehindero the UN rejection letter.

You need to direct your energy towards Okiro and Obaniyi.

And some people are saying this administration is effective?

An efficient president would have engaged in dialogue and prevent the strike

MAMAJAMA: why do you always open up your mouth like a bushman?

Strike is not always a bad thing.
I personally see strike as a presentation of dialogue between multiple entities; an indirect communication tool, which is often used to effectively accomplish various type of goals all around the world.
FYI: Strike may occur even when things seem to be going well.

I just hope that the agreement with the teachers is attained on time before things start falling apart.

JAMA: May be Nigerian Police Department should have used the same strategy to send a message to the public when Oga Ehindero started to steal Police Dept fund.
What do you think?

Again,
Mr. Mckren: for the record, the topic says "Please Who's Government Is Better, On A General Note. Obasanjo Or Yardua"

Mr. Mckren: for the record, the topic says "Please Who's Government Is Better, On A General Note. Obasanjo Or Yardua"

Its amazing how BigB1 comes to internet forum and call Yaradua admin a  success

Nigerians are shameless.

Here is a President who said he will declare state of Emergency on Energy. He met 1500 MWatt on assuming on office. 12months down the line we have 900 MWatt left. So much for emergency.

We were promised respect for rule of law, rather we have seen our Justice Minister who should have been a custodian of the law engage in more impunity than any justice minister in History.

and the list goes on and on

What is this administration's plan for the future? Tell us what Yaradua's economic policy is??

Look BigB1, go and tell your principals that we live in digital age. Everyone knows the truth.

No sir, you think you know the truth, but you're not even close.


It is amusing how Mckren seems to be lost most of the time.

Big b1 has never called Yar'Adua's administration a success. For the record, let me re-post what I said:

1.

Eventhough it's too early to praise or castigate Yar'Adua, but looking at all the mess Ribadu and OBJ created and left behind; I think Yar'Adua is doing a great job.

You can call the man (Yar'Adua) anything you want, but you can not call him a thief.
That alone for me represents a priceless honor and a step towards the right direction

2.  

And if we still can not see clearly by now that the obstacles that are currently blocking Yar'Adua from effectively and efficiently doing his duties as the president were created and left behind by Ribadu and OBJ, then I do not think we will ever see again.

We, Nigerians tend to quickly pass judgement without profoundly understanding what is on the ground

3.  

It isn't about how you start, but how you end

4.  

@Mckren: Yar'Adua is useless only because he simply put an end to a complete failure called Ribadu.

Any sensible Nigerian who knows one or two things about Nigeria knows that these are simply the facts.

Now Mr. Mckren, you take your message back to your hero and let him know that as long as the sun shines, he will never ever ever come close to power in this life time ever again.

we can not compare Nigeria when OBJ took over and now,

When OBJ took over, Nigerians for the first time were willing to work together as one and gave him their complete support; (eventhough, he threw it away) but that alone gave OBJ 70% of the points. Therefore, it makes no sense to compare then to now or compare OBJ to Yar'Adua.

And if we still can not see clearly by now that the obstacles that are currently blocking Yar'Adua from effectively and efficiently doing his duties as the president were created and left behind by Ribadu and OBJ, then I do not think we will ever see again.

We, Nigerians tend to quicky pass judgement without profoundly understanding what is on the ground.

his government is all full of Northerners

Do you blame him?

@Mckren: Yar'Adua is useless because he simply put an end to a complete failure called Ribadu.

@MAMAJAMA: Yar'Adua is a total failure because Ehindero did not get that position with UN and his name is still on the list.

Regardless of the circumstance, Nigerians are built to whine and cry.

probably because he has a wife that steals on his behalf?

we can not call Yar Adua a thief because all his Hausa's general probably transfer some of their stolen wealth to his off shore bank account

Absolutely, no content.

We know where this is headed, in the twilight of his tenure they will start telling us they saved billions for us and improved virtually no infrastructure.

Eventhough it's too early to praise or castigate Yar'Adua, but looking at all the mess Ribadu and OBJ created and left behind; I think Yar'Adua is doing a great job.

You can call the man (Yar'Adua) anything you want, but you can not call him a thief.
That alone for me represents a priceless honor and a step towards the right direction,

Abacha did not get to finish what he started either; he got a red card.
Therefore, it still inaccurate to conclude whether Abacha was better or not.

What sense does it make to praise a soccer team that scores 2 goals during the first half, then turns around and allows 12 goals against the team at the end of the match?
It makes no sense.

YarA'dua is still in the game, anything can happen. Lets allow this man to do his job.

It isn't about how you start, but how you end.
This is a complete insult.

Nuzo or whatever u call yourself, if u are a Chinese, i forgive u for your stupid statements about Nigeria and by the way, WHAT ARE You DOING ON THIS FORUM? Didn't u get the name? NAIRALAND! not YUANLAND! But if you're a Nigerian, then you're the biggest MUFU i've ever come across and the most foolish and God will punish for your statements. And for your info, when Nigeria becomes a better place, there won't be space for trash like u. NONSENSE!

My man, leave Nuzo alone.
He sells Toothpick and Handkerchiefs, and also looks down on anything that contributes to the progress of our great country.

I'm not sure if there is much to expect from this cat.

We, Nigerians define our happiness when we see other Nigerian suffering. Nothing else!

This is why we tend to quickly judge one another
This is why we tend to compare all our phantom accomplishments to others
This is why we do not trust one another
This is why we tend to reduce the number of our Nigerian friends
This is why we see more 419 scams in our society
And this is the main reason why corruption is still living healthy and pretty much very vibrant in our society today.

Our mighty materialistic culture needs to be revisited and revamped; it is clearly killing our people and our country.

That's Quite true, my dad once told me how Nigerians unlike other Africans are hesitant to elevate qualified Nigerians to positions like other Africans do.

I'm sorry, this information is absolutely incorrect.
You go and double check again and I promise you that it wouldn't take you too long to discover that the Qualified Nigerian Professionals are the worst group of people in Nigeria today.

No need to look for cheap excuses, we've tried this style for many years with zero accomplishment.
It is time to come out clean and realize that Nigerians in general (all classes, all ages, all tribes and all levels) are directly responsible for the rapid disintegration of this country.

I will not list examples at this point.

However how do we change this general mind frame, one way is by isolating issues that plague our society from religion, and using religion to our advantage rather than to our demise as it as become in recent times.

My man, do not let us continue to deceive one another; the solution to our problem is very simple.

Modify our constitution; starting from Oct 30, 2008, allow any convicted corrupt individual to be publicly executed at his or her home town.
After executing 2 or 3 people, I promise you that corruption will be immediately eradicated. (Nigerians do not like to die)
This is the only solution that will clearly and quickly deliver the birth of new Nigeria.

Anything else, will be absolute waste of time, waste of money and the continuation of original sufferings of the citizens in Nigeria. And I also guarantee everybody that in 20 years' time Nigerians will still be in the darkness and we will all still be talking about restoring things back to normal.

Trust me!

We, Nigerians define our happiness when we see other Nigerian suffering. Nothing else!

When it comes to analysing the true state of mind of most Nigerians, this is the most profound statement so far on this forum.

Aviation Minister assures of steady power supply

Miffed by the sudden black out that engulfed the nation’s number premiere gateway, the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Minister of State, Air Transportation, Felix Hyat, has assured that modalities have been worked out to ensure that such a nerve-racking situation does not rear its ugly head again.

Hyat, who flew into Lagos aboard Chanchangi Airlines on Tuesday evening told aviation correspondents that some stop-gap measures are already being put in place but said it would take a year before new generating sets could be shipped into the country.
It would be recalled that thousands of Lagos-bound passengers were left stranded at several airports across the country on Tuesday.

Public power supply to the airport, as with other public and private facilities had been erratic and the airport operator, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) had problem with its generators.
FAAN usually relied on generators to power the terminal, communication facilities and runway lighting systems, but three of the equipment packed up at the same time.
Consequently, flight operations were grounded for hours, as FAAN engineers battled to put the situation right.

The minister disclosed that the authority was already putting measures on ground to make sure that such thing does not occur.

He said his ministry feels the pain caused to passengers and airlines as a result of the unfortunate situation, but was quick to add that it is part of the decay in the industry.

Even if that was the case, Mr Fani Kayode as an educated professional shouldn't have come out to make such a despicable statement.
I guess, the same Occultist should also be blamed for his arrest by EFCC officials.

who wants to come and live in Nigeria for 3 years before becoming a citizen, its crazy !!!!!!!!!!

You ll be lucky, if you are still normal after 3 years, provided you re alive. Armed robbers regularly target returnees, and the Nigeria factor would make lose faith in humanity.

Not everybody is from your neighbourhood, you know!

Please tell your English wife that their refusal is a blessing for her in disguise.  Why on earth does she want to be a Nigerian citizen? Have you introduced her to Sapele water or what that has turn her brain upside down?  Many of us want to throw Nigerian citizenship into the River Niger if possible and someone is sane enough to want one.

Absolutely unnecessary!

Here comes another hopeless bubblehead who lacks the ability to see anything that isn't siting right on his nose.

Do you understand the true meaning of citizenship?
Yes, things are tough in Nigeria today, but who knows what tomorrow will bring?
If we continue to regard or treat our own country with contempt and rudeness, what do we expect from the outsiders?
So, because Nigeria isn't among the best countries on your list, therefore, Nigerian citizenship should be given freely to everybody?

To me, this is a sign of complete disrespect towards our nation and our people. I wonder if it is a lack of understanding causing this unnecessary disrespect towards our country or folks just don't care. Well, whatever it may be, one thing is certain, our offhand disdainfulness towards our country will not benefit us in any way, but further salvage our already bombarded image.

It will only be sensible for all to chillout and recognize the fact that people will only treat us the manner we've chosen to present ourselves.

There are tons of Africans and others that see something special in Nigeria and Nigerians.
