"That is a sign of disintegration in PDP. Papa Destroy Pikin." by Prince Nosa from Vanguard reviews

From John-Abba Ogbodo, Abuja

THE Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has denounced its deputy national chairman, Dr. Bello Haliru Mohammed, over the statement that the Embassy of the United States of America in Nigeria was collaborating with the opposition to undermine the democratic structure in the country.

Mohammed, last week, issued a statement to the effect that some people within the opposition had a meeting in Kaduna State and drew up an agenda to meet with the President of the U.S., Barack Obama, in Ghana during his visit to the country and canvass economic blockade of Nigeria, among other sanctions, so that the nascent democracy would be stifled.

But the national chairman of the PDP, Prince Vincent Ogbulafor, yesterday dissociated the party from the statement issued by Mohammed.

Ogbulafor's statement, signed by the national publicity secretary of the party, Prof. Rufai Ahmed Alkali, read in full:

"The attention of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has been drawn to a widely circulated statement issued by Dr. Bello Haliru Mohammed, Deputy National Chairman of the Party in which he is said to have accused the United States government, particularly the U.S. Embassy in Nigeria, of colluding with opposition elements to destabilise the government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

"The Peoples Democratic Party hereby dissociates itself from the views expressed by Dr. Bello Mohammed, which have never been discussed at any level or organ of the Party. The statement at best represents his personal opinion.

"Giving the enormity of the issues raised and the likely effect they may have on the relationship between the U.S. government and Nigeria, the Party will investigate the matter and come up with a position in due course.

"There may be plans by some politicians to take advantage of President Obama's visit to Ghana in July to meet with him for whatever reasons.

"However, in view of the cordial relations between the government of Nigeria and the United States, we expect no meaningful impact from such a meeting even if it ever takes place.

"It is our fervent belief that the long-standing relations between the U.S. and Nigeria will not be sacrificed to suit the whims of a few disgruntled politicians, who are desperately seeking relevance."

:p

Redman44:
I'm happy President Obama is snubbing Nigeria. Yar'Adua is not a good president. The guy is sick for God's sake!!! How can a sick man lead us? What were his achievements when he was the Governor of Katsina State? When I see Yar'Adua's pictures, I'm always having a feeling that he might die in office He looks frail. A sick man leading Nigeria is a bad omen. It has spiritual connotations for the future of our country. We need to do something dramatic in 2011. Cheers.

lol

Naija people them don come again with interpretation.

Theblessed:
Even so, still no mercy for them.  Its still too much to earn in terms of Nigerian economic growth - her GDP They should not earn as much as the Western Politicians in relation to the above because, our economy is incomparable to theirs. In times of depression such as this, they have the ability to turn things round and balance the book but we do not so, why emulate/compete?

I'm furious here!

I feel your pain - for people who only work 3 times a week -

it is most be joke - pay money to read a naija website - joke of the century.

Theblessed:
Do you mean that, Nigerian Senators are earning N29,479,749.00m equivalent to £15,00000.00m (Pounds Sterling) per year and Nigerians are suffering in order to make ends meet, eh?

Disgusting and sick!  No, Western President or Prime Minister earn 1/300th of this amount I am reading on here and if they do, you better know it, we work their ARSE off here - they must give us VALUE for MONEY and that's why we send them to Parliament or Senate etc to represent us.   Nigerian politicians do nothing - they are not put under any kind of pressures by the public. In fact, they have far too much easy ride in Nigeria - no wonder the CHAOS we have, as everyone tries to grab any kind of political opportunities they can lay their hands on, SHAME, SHAME and SHAME AGAIN!!!!!  Everyone is dreaming of a political FREE CAKE in Nigeria, what a hopeless place!

But, what are the so called NIGERIAN MACHO MEN doing to stop this MADNESS, called GREED THAT ARE SPIRALLING AND DISTROYING our political system, like a wild horicane? Instead, at the mere mention of WOMEN ISSUES AND WOMEN RIGHTS, they'd jump out of their prams in arms, to quash it.  NOW, quash this, weak 'BALLS'!!!!!!!!  Don't you know what to do?  Hit them where it hurts as Nigerians up and down the country are Hurting as a result of their GREED.  HIT THEM AT THEIR FUTURE - THEIR CHILDREN, GRAND CHILDREN, RELATIVES AND BUSINESS VENTURES that would teach them lessons.  When they'd gone, they'd give us back our money or ASHAMEDLY GIVE IT AWAY TO CHARITY, assuming they have conscience obviously, they don't.

Hey Nigerian men, wakey, wakey if you still consider yourselves men after reading this my commentary, marinad in anger over abuses we Nigerians suffer in the hands of these people.  You either, DO SOMETHING ELSE, SHUT UP YOUR BIG, BIG MOUTHS WHEN IT COMES TO WOMEN ISSUES and WOMEN'S RIGHTS, ok!

Sorry N30,000 000 is not £15 Million but £120,000

This means that the destiny of Nigerians are in the hands of the Senate and House of Reps. PLEASE GIVE YAR ADUA A BREAK visit your local senators and Reps to mount pressure.

In response to the clamour by lawmakers to be given a full copy of the Justice Mohammed Uwais Electoral Reform Committee report, President Umaru Yar'Adua, yesterday, forwarded the entire report, including its annexures, for the consideration of the National Assembly.

The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Olusegun Adeniyi, informed the press yesterday that Yar'Adua gave the directive to send a copy of the Uwais report a day earlier and he was confident the concerned officers had carried out the order.

The Senate had early this week demanded for the Uwais report in its entirety during the debate on the general principles of the seven electoral reform bills sent it by the president.

The federal government's white paper on the Uwais report, which was part of the the electoral reform bills sent to the Senate, had revised some recommendations of the committee, including the recommendation that the president's power to appoint the chairman of INEC be removed.

The Nigerian Labour Congress and other civil society groups have opposed the white paper on the Uwais report.
Subsequently, the NLC held several rallies across the country last week to demand the full implementation of the report.

Sources told THISDAY last night that Yar'Adua decided to forward the report to the National Assembly "as a further confirmation of his commitment to the reform of the country's electoral system."

[quote author=rukky_ng link=topic=274924.msg3947268#msg3947268 date=1243629137]1.well guys everyone has said something reasonable but no has asked what make of trucks do u intend to start the business with, well my best advice of trucks should be MARK TRUCKS and the model should be (R MODELS) which are strong, rugged and tough and dont buy the ones that comes with balloons suspensions but with spring and when we talk about spring i mean CAMELS BACK those the best suspensions ever.
2. When it comes to the location of travel i will professionally advice within lagos and and not too far distance, in haulage terms we call apapa to ikeja (local) while apapa to ibadan, shagamu ilorin and other close distance that are few hours to drive to there destination WEST LOCAL it reduces wear and tear on the truck, risk and also when there is a mechanical break down u can easily drive down to the location of breakdown and see thing for you self other than your truck traveling to kano and truck breaks down at zaria you defiantly cannot drive there immediately than to listen to what the driver tells u send money for repair which will be done either more expensive with less professional mechanics and a lot other factors which if i want to type in here will take a lot of pages and lastly in haulage business you must be hard, tough and not be soft minded other wise u can make millions in 1 year but loss it all in 1 day for more information send me a mail on roadways_haulagelogisticsltd@yahoo.com or call 014393960 good luck[/quote]THank well appericated comments - but fortunately we dont have Mack trucks in Europe we have Daf, Iveco, Man, Scania, Mercedes - please advice

Nice point

Lets hope Yar Adua performs

2 years after - we are still hoping  Yar adua performs

Funny enough  i watched  a similar broadcast on AIT

where children were interviewed


Child A

Interviewer : Has life been better under this democracy or do u prefer a military

child A:  Life has been good , everything is going well - but i would like the government to build more schools and provide more books for our shool.


I thought  to myself  does this child live in Nigeria - it must be a mistake


Int:  same question to child b

b:  Life is good and we have no problems but i would like the government to pay our teachers in school so that we dont have any more strikes


I thought to myself " life is good and no problems"  This must be another mistake  or may be the children are shy.



Int :  Same question to child c

c:  we thank God for where we are  and life has also been good but i would also like the government to spend more on education.



At that point i thought to myself " These children must be have brainwashed and some how cant see the hardship arround them. or could it be that are now  masters in the area of suffering and smiling"  at a young age.

bawomolo:
Only if they had listened to Saro Wiwa. We won't be dealing with this mess if the FG actually listened to people's complaints.

Listen ke ? when one is blinded by greed - u cant hear anything o

[quote author=Tùdor link=topic=275801.msg3940836#msg3940836 date=1243525253]He he he he he[/quote]Why are you trying to foster your opinion on me - If i chose to follow christ - let it be.

na today - Them never see anything yet- them go soon need bunker.

PIN DEE PIN POWER -

what a joke

miquest:
people saying it's Yar'adua's fault dont know nothing,
OBJ ruled for 8yrs & is now Chairman PDP Board of trustees, He is the No.1 Problem with the Country,
Our dear unfortunate yaradua was asked to come and hold a crumbling building,
Anyway I guess we as Nigerians would always fail to recognise the problems with the country,
Until we drop our harsh criticisms, Maybe just maybe things might change for once,

I was in Ghana for the Elections, And thanks to People like Jimoh Ibrahim who sponsored the present president he was able to win, The election wasn't free & fair, But I always Give Kudos to the Ghanaian media & People, they know how to cover their Dirty linen and not wash it in public, Like us Nigerians, who have stood for negativity, When they had Blackouts in Ghana, I doubt people heard of it in Nigeria, Things like this are the reasons people like Obama are visiting Ghana, Good publicity & i thank God thats what Mrs Dora Akunyili is trying to do, Lets all be positive for Once, All thise Opposition parties should come out with stronger reasons to want to rule the country and should strategize well, it's just unfortunate that our political system is being won by who rigs best, cause lets face it, Even the opposition parties attempt rigging but @ the end of the day the PdP always wins in the battle for who rigs best,

Absolute bullshit - Somebody chatting thru his ass

Ferry

Things are moving beyond the expectations of most sceptics. Kunle Awosiyan took a ride in one of the new ferries plying the Lagos waterways and concludes that the right adjective to qualify the experience is ‘SPLENDOUR’.

The sky looked misty and cloudy as if it would rain on the Monday morning. From a distance one could hear the rumpus of the sea as one of the ferries glided to the bay. The six ferries were painted red, creating aesthetics at the jetty.

For the first time in about 20 years of living in Lagos, the fervor to board a ferry took control of my thought. One could not imagine swimming in the flood not to talk of travelling nautical miles on the sea.

In a short time and for a fare of N150 per passenger, the ferry was filled up ready to sail from Ikorodu jetty of Ebute Ipakodo Metroferry Service to Marina.

“Has everybody got a life jacket? One of the crew had asked. Though the question sounded rhetorical, it doused the tensed mood of the pasengers, who were boarding the ferry for the first time.

The ferry was unhooked from the clasp as the captain started the engine and it cruised away as the passengers gazed at the ocean.

It is a 40-minute journey and for the first five minutes on the sea, no passenger could talk to each other. It was a silent minute for some, who perhaps had to say their last prayer. The ocean roared, the wind blew as the ambient temperature decreased to the minimum.

Like a duck, the boat whirled away from the sun to the shadow created by aquatic plants along the course to Marina. The experience changed as passengers began to throw banters.

One of the passengers, who simply identified himself as John, had told his friend that he was so afraid to board the ferry. He said, “I thought I would sink. This is my first time of travelling on sea but I think it’s a nice experience. I’m enjoying it.”

His friend had replied,:“You are a coward. That means you cannot go to war. You don’t know how to swim. I pity you.”

The chitchat had filled the air when the ferry suddenly hurdled, creating an abrupt silence among the passengers. For the next five minutes, the ferry was leaping and gliding as passengers kept their hearts in their mouths.



The passengers’ metro ferry service was inaugurated in Lagos about three weeks ago by the state Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola as one of the ways to ease the problem of transportation in the state.

The state government through the present administration, had embarked on massive construction of jetties in the last two years. Its plan was to build four jetties before the end of this year through Public Private Partnership scheme.

At the inauguration, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Metroferry Marine Services Limited, Mr. Uyi Giwa-Osagie had commended the government for providing the opportunity of Public Private Participation (PPP) which had enabled the company to invest in the services.

According to him, about 1.5 million people who live in Ikorodu have depended on road transportation, which has been chaotic for many years. “However, the emergence of ferry service in the state will alleviate the suffering of the residents,” he said.

Giwa-Osagie said that the journey of four hours through vehicular traffic had since been reduced to 40 minutes, adding that the ferry service was a new conception of the present administration.

To Governor Fashola, the ferry service is a commitment of the present administration to deliver a multimodal mass transportation system that will raise the quality of life of the people of Lagos.
