This game is for the taking for Nigeria - the only way Nigeria is going to lose if they make mistake or lose concentration

I dont believe in any cabal or some group ruling  this country. The main problem in Nigeria is Nigerians how can anybody in their right senses be allowed to be used in this manner.  It is not the politician that steals ballot boxes but individuals

where are you based - thanks

@poster

Definitely the ride for Nigeria - I was thinking of getting one when i move back to Nigeria. Absolutely no point in trying to show off with cars that cant handle Nigerian roads.

Soludo must never win - he is an economy destroyer and a thief -

Soludo is a confirmed thief and economy destroyer - Anambra will be regressing if he ever wins

otawa:
world bank is encouraging corrutpion

$1million for 1 firetruck. Kai

Nigerians should speak up about this and challenge WB, they cant be playing 419 on Nigeria, the home of 419!

Even a secondhand u s firetruck cost $22,000 - $50,000 but for Nigeria it is 1 Mill , i just hope this firetruck has a helicopter landing pad and an in built hospital.

I smell fowl play here

This is would probably be the 100th time that we have been told he is coming back. A man who could not build a world class health facility for himself even after 3 years in government. Yar adua is completely useless

trueword:
looks like the wave up protesting is starting to spread to other parts of country. I really think all the various protesters around country should merge and lead a mega protest.

Protest is like a virus which must infect the Nigerian people. I guess people are beginning to understand the fact that they actually do have a say in matters rather than the docile attitude. Pressure from many angles is piled on the government to do the right thing just hope it can sustained all the way until we rid the nation of bad governance

wily wan ker - your hate has not consumed u yet

Reading the above report - The fec could either rule fit or not fit - so if they rule fit what happens then. i guess we are back to square one.

RichyBlacK:
Just didn't want to miss chipping in that Nigeria has the most useless government in the cosmos! Thanks.

And what are you doing to change that - if you no action - then shut it

it is a Long haul - But must be sustained

The roving demonstration by Nigerians around the world is a good thing. It is proof that there is still a juncture where Nigerians will rise up to reject abysmal failure, absurd whims and voracious greed. While we celebrate this return to activism, after years of complicit acquiescence, we must not confuse it for what it is not. Soon after the Abuja demonstration, some Nigerians declared that the revolution had begun. Others claimed that in our own eyes, the New Nigeria had been born. The reaction of most Nigerians falls in line with that affliction that has been killing us all – low expectations.

It is low expectations that make us clap for a governor who pays workers’ salaries on time. It is low expectations that make us name a governor who repaired roads as the governor of the year. It is low expectations that make us include the Nigerian factor whenever we make plans, programs and projections. Low expectations make us celebrate mediocrity.

Nigerians are interesting people. We get excited very easily. We get tickled by trifles. We get bemused by buffoons. We get pillaged by priests. We are tormented by the thugs in our midst.

A demonstration does not make a revolution. While it may lead to one, it does not on its own make a revolution.

Some of those who pronounced the birth of a new Nigeria after one demonstration did so for a very selfish reason. They admire the gain but distaste the pain. They want change as long as it does not require personal action from them. Those Nigerians who are really in the arena, sweating, bleeding and screaming are not that naïve.

A revolution is not an intellectual activity. It is not something you can will into existence by standing on the sideline, even if you are cheering. Revolution requires action, commitment and sacrifice.

If you are not taking action; if you are not making serious sacrifices; if you are not committed for a long-haul, you are just a mere reactionary.

Initiating a revolution is like planning a coup. You want to change the dominant order of things. The beneficiaries of the current order will not sit back and watch you throw them out. They will put up fierce resistance because their way of life is threatened.

If you watch and see no ferocious pushback on their part, it could only mean one of two things: either they are stupid or they are sure that you are stupid.

Based on what Nigerians have gone through in the last fifty years, I am of the opinion that the Nigerian tormenters are not stupid.

If the tormenters know that Nigerians will just make some noise and go back to their normal lives, they will let a few demonstrations slide by. If need be, they will resurrect a dead president and get him to speak to the BBC.

We shortchange ourselves and the rest of humanity if we continue to be intimidated by the dream of transforming Nigeria. The ideals of Nigeria have not been tried and found wanting. They have been found difficult and, therefore, left untried.

There is no way of playing it safe in a revolution. If we want to get rid of the causes of our drudgery and our slavery, we have to put on our armor, storm the bastions and be ready to pay the ultimate price.

For many of our compatriots now cheering the demonstrations and heralding the emergence of a New Nigeria, it was the addition of Nigeria on the list of terrorist nations that caught their attention. It inconvenienced them. It shattered their comfort zone. It subjected their privileged status to the same provocations that ordinary Nigerians have always endured. For others, it was when the kidnappers at home turned their village mansions into the latest abandoned properties that they woke up.

In months to come, there will be more and more impediments placed in the path of those who worship the current order- those who think their lives are made. The irritation will get to those who believe we can wait for another 400 years to get an election right. The frustration will get to those who, for so long, thought that they were insulated from all the nuisances of a mortally flawed Nigeria. The upcoming hurdles will be a reminder that we have not signed the commitment, made the sacrifice, and taken the action, needed to create a livable and viable Nigerian nation.

The revolution waits for us, just like the morning ashes wait for an old woman who lives alone. It will wait until we drop our encumbrances and initiate it. Or until a quake shatters those things Fela said stop us from fighting for our rights. It may take one hundred years but it will come when it will come.

I like the phrase " offshore president"

Nigerians working in London in the under ground rail system have spoke to me that want to come back home and run an efficient rail system,” the governor explained.


The salary better be good ?

Has he spoken yet or is later in the evening?

Erastus has 600bn in an account
Ibru has 500bn in an account

is that not all money that was stolen from all the banking crises

I guess election time is near - poster - have you sold any so far

What the the law lacks is enforcement - I rest my case

Enough of this crap game abeg

in terms of scoring  - Martins is definitely better than yakubu

$30,000 per man to reach qf - what complete waste of money -  what happened to patriotism -  ok maybe a small change definitely not 30k per man

it has just been confirmed that yabuku pays amodu to play for Nigeria - se the yeye  guy he doesnt want to be subbed

One thing for sure any credible side will beat this super eagles any day  - WC in SA will be basketball style score.
