Requiring visas to go visiting your in-laws. If you don't like them, you can at least claim you were denied a visa.

On a serious note; those agitating for a new state are the corrupt leaders who no longer have any relevance in Nigeria and think that they will have some relevance in a Yoruba state.

I like that one - will probably save me from guresome benin ore road

I guess ever since yara adua went in coma and the people of Nigeria are beginning to say enough is enough .  The days of the likes of choco are definitely numbered.  This is probably the last kick of dying chicken.

I am Yoruba but dont want independence cause my wife is from Rivers state - where does that leave me?

Drop a 10 tonne nuclear bomb - That should do the trick

I dont blame them - here in the u.k i know of people who have purchased business class seats to Nigeria with fraudulently obtained credit cards - Naija people no easy oooo -

Only God can remove that fraudently blood from us.

Why the hell is Mr goodluck not speaking up - This man can forcefully claim this position?

I would rather they setup a yoruba language school which i am sure would be more meaningful than a freaking helicopter school

chappeelle - no min d this yeye people struggle continues - boycott mtn

Anyone watching these benin side  - I am very sure they can beat Nigeria

which part of lagos is this

where are all the amodu lovers

sagamite and Amodu  - must go

lol

doshbass:
Amodu does not believe in the home based players, cos he thinks they don't have enough international experience,  Does he have enough international experience as a Coach, He cannot do the basic thing of selecting fit and good enough players for a tournament or match. We don't deserve the World cup ticket as representative of Africa.

if i were him  - i get rid of the whole lot - and replace them home based  players

definitely a heart attacker inducer -  - whole thing is one big joke

see how amodu dey look


World cup is going to be a disaster - Nja go chops tire  cant wait for the likes of messi

Hopefully the momentum will carry through

The question one should ask  - why chose a foreign media over a local one  and also it was really short phone call.

Funny thing about this rent a crowd  - their families are also part taking in the suffering but because of the  little change their so called judgement becomes clouded.

Choco9:
Why are you guys derailing the topic?

true bros - chapelle over to u

@poster

Please desist from opening multiple threads about the same subject

Their are no prizes for people with a higher number of posts .

I would like to commend Next News for their bravery.

Exactly 50 days after he disappeared from public view on a medical trip to Saudi Arabia, the British Broadcasting Corporation BBC is reporting that it spoke to a man purporting to be Nigeria's president, Umaru Musa Yar'Adua. The one minute clip which has been used in various programmes and can be accessed via the BBC ‘s website has a man who presented himself as the president saying he is recuperating , "at the moment I am undergoing treatment, and I'm getting better from the treatment. I hope that very soon there will be tremendous progress, which will allow me to get back home."

However there has been no independent verification of the authenticity of the voice on the tape.

The BBC story is coming on the back of a story by NEXT reporting that President Yar'Adua is brain damaged and unable to function as president.

In reaction to the BBC report, NEXT editors said, ‘'we stand by our story, to wit: we have it on good authority that the president has suffered brain damage and other impairments, and is no longer able to effectively discharge the office of president.

Anyone who claims we are wrong should please produce our president, so that he can speak to us directly as Nigerians, and not via an audio clip through a foreign news organization.''

NEXT also said it is willing to immediately dispatch journalists to meet the president in Saudi Arabia as soon as his kitchen cabinet permits access to him. ‘'We would like to see for ourselves and talk directly to our president.

This is one occasion where we would be happily wrong. So we call on those keeping the president hidden from the Nigerian people to produce him immediately for all to see'' The media organisation said.

where can one listen to this so called audio interview

[quote author=Chapelle.S link=topic=379778.msg5295461#msg5295461 date=1263242483]Nonsense;are the fools not transfereing the cost on Nigerian subscribers? Did Nigerians complain? If they are not making money because the environment is unfriendly why not pull out for other investors who are keen on coming to Nigeria.We are the same people who will complain about unemployment and now the little 1000 or so good jobs that will be created is shifted to one small country that the subscriber base of Nigeria is more than the whole population?[/quote]Wake and smell the coffee - we live in a boundary less business world and their no sentiments when it comes to business. I will assume it is only head office that is relocating and not the operations.

One minute we are on the Terror list - now they are interested in our affairs

US Assistant Secretary of State for the Bureau of African Affairs, Johnnie Carson, is due to arrive Nigeria this week as part of his country's efforts to deepen diplomatic engagement with Nigeria which is navigating a leadership crisis at the moment, NEXT diplomatic sources revealed yesterday.

Sources in Washington D.C. and Abuja, told NEXT that Mr. Carson's proposed visit to Nigeria is aimed at carrying out a ‘broad spectrum feel of the political temperature in the light of the succession politics now frantically apace in Abuja'. The US diplomat is also expected to seek reasons for the delay in debating the anti-terrorism bill that has been with the National Assembly for the past four years.

Nigerian officers in Abuja confirmed the visit yesterday, saying Mr. Carson is expected to hold talks with the vice-president, Goodluck Jonathan and the Senate president, David Mark.

"The Senate is a critical actor in the game of authorising the Vice president. The senate has a one-week window of relevance," our sources said, explaining the critical need for a meeting with the senate president.

Sources, who spoke on conditions of anonymity, say talks have already begun between Mr. Carson and the Nigerian vice-president; adding that last week, a telephone conversation between the two was facilitated by the American embassy in Abuja.

International interests in Nigeria

There are indications that Nigeria's 2011 elections is becoming a source of concern in international quarters. Ahead of Mr. Carson's visit, a multinational mission comprised of representatives from the European Union, U.S., Canada, and Japan are already in Nigeria. Sources believe that their presence in Nigeria is to assess Nigeria's preparations for the upcoming elections.

"The rationale of this mission is to emphasize that whatever the resolution may be, a credible election in 2011 in Nigeria is central to the international acceptance of a new place for Nigeria in the international community," a source told NEXT.

In 2009, the US president, Barack Obama and the US Secretary of State, Hilary Clinton, on at least three occasions, expressed their displeasure with the current state of affairs in Nigeria - especially as it concerns governance, development, and anti-graft activities.

Mr. Obama, during his visit to Ghana in July, had sent a veiled barb against Nigeria while simultaneously praising Nigeria's neighbour, Ghana on matters of democracy and the pursuit of free and fair elections.

Barely three months after her visit to Nigeria during which she doled out a couple of reprimands to Nigeria on matters of corruption, Mrs. Clinton, in an address at Georgetown University's Gaston Hall, Washington D.C in December, 2009, again criticized Nigeria's Human Rights policies.

"In other cases, like, Nigeria, governments are able but unwilling to make the changes their citizens deserve," she said.

Last week, the American government, through its Transportation Security Administration (TSA), announced that it would begin enhanced screening procedures on any US-bound air passenger travelling through a list of 14 nations, in which Nigeria was included.

Suffice it to say that Nigeria has not occupied a favourable position in the diplomatic circles for the past few months.

Mood in Washington and Abuja

In Nigeria and the U.S., there are growing concerns for the succession plan for the Nigerian president, who is critically ill in a hospital in Saudi Arabia.

In Washington D.C., two camps are pitched against each other - the constitutional succession camp and the national security resolution camp with interests in a possible military regime.

"There are those who are rooting for a constitutional succession versus a tiny, but influential, power wonks who promote a national security resolution in the light of the ‘crotch bomber'," sources said.

Inside sources in the Obama administration however said the American president will stay on the constitutional succession track, although there are muted concerns about ‘Goodluck Jonathan's ability to steer a potentially difficult Nigeria', sources said.

In Abuja, diplomatic source said, there is a frantic ‘horse trading by the Hausas'. There are reports of a scramble to fill in a suitable candidate from Northern Nigeria for the impending vacancy in the office of the vice-president of the country.

One thing we have to realise every private business is profit driven and if the operating cost is lesser in Ghana so be it . The fact of the matter the cost of doing business in Nigeria is astronomically high and also Ghana remains the in thing happening in the west africa region with very good favourable conditions

Even bill gates does not draw that kind salary from his company even when it is worth billions of dollars -

Choco5:
The same minute and nanosecond that CNN and BBC give your report of Yar'Adua's death is the same nanosecond that you will recieve a phonecall informing you of the complete annihilation of your entire family!!

how?

Bokoharam:
I get surprised when pple talk  like this. I think one or more of these is the reason for such:

1. Ignorance

2. Engrossed in politics that they have lost their sense of reasoning

3. Soludo is their relative or close acquaintance

4. People that hate Nigeria & her progress

My bros, you need to review your line of thought. Soludo will sell off Anambra to his godfathers and you will come back to NL shouting 'ole!' 'ole!'

Do you know what this man's 'egunjeristic' attitude & tendencies did to our economy? Do you know he had illegally sold off Spring bank to PHB/his friend, Atuche and pocketed the money before the sell-off was reversed?. Tell me, was that forced merger justifiable?

Did you know that a whopping N6m was spent these few bank CEOs to loby & make sure Soludo does not leave? Why would you want to retain him if he is policing you the way it should be? He only removed his toga of chief surveillance officer to chief playmate.

Pple talk consolidation. Yes, good thinking, but he lost it along the line. Before the consolidation, banks had positive shareholders, no matter how small. Today, banks are having hundreds of billion as negative shareholders' funds.

Think again.

Please dont mind these useless people who lack integrity . I still maintain my stand soludo should be jail
