Fresh air ke?

You wont find that one in Nigeria

keep behaving like an ostrich and dont tackle your problems the right way and heads on.


Southern Sudan and Tunisa will soon join the host of peaceful and prosperous nations whilst we remain in cesspit

unless you referring to the fresh air in a soak away system then i agree we have fresh air 2011

Hodaya:
If they don't work together, the party stands a higher chance of loosing the presidential election and so they both loose their various looting privileges,

Would it not be better if these two destroy themselves rather than forcefully drag Nigeria along.

Ma_J_Blige:
They have all vowed to commit suicide if GEJ stays in power after April.

Please lets pray for them. They are dead men walking already. LOL.

At this moment  - another 4 years of GEJ  will simply be too disastrous for the masses except you are cabal.

so actually suicide might be actually be better option

GEJ may have good intentions but he is compromised.

johndoe200:
Lord, I thought I was the only one who noticed this.

Is the decorum you talk about bloody hypocrite - all you GEJ apologetics sef. We cant move forward in this country with your likes.

johndoe200:
I always wonder why insignificant rats believe that they look tough by insulting the president? Whatever your views on his candidature, he has achieved something no one in your family will ever achieve.

Please use decorum in your speech, or do you think anyone is impressed?

What significance on a faceless forum  - you must be joking -  A president you say " well i will only respect one that put national interest above personal"

anyway no further comment

Now i know


Ma_J_Blige = BeAF


sAME demented reasoning.


It is no longer SR that witchunting YOUR father GEJ , YOU have now added  Next news and Punch to the Axis of Evil .


According to the first article it clearly stated that school was open and another article today claims the school has closed as of yesterday.

and you mumu GEJ comes out yesterday to say his children are at home. obviously correct cause the school has now closed

Please tell GEJ to please think before he opens his dirty mouth next time.

It just unfortunate that we have a serious level of Illiteracy in Nigeria cause people like GEJ will not be at the helm of affair at all .

I agree 100% it makes no sense building on faulty foundation. Tunisia and Sudan are perfect examples of countries rebuilding their foundations but come to Nigeria you have monkey claiming GEJ and rest of mass murderers as the Messiahs. Building on a faulty foundation has never worked and it will never start working for Nigeria.

Underlying factors need to be addressed before we can proceed on this wonderful journey of peace and prosperity.

Who are they fooling - Definitely not the Nigerian masses but themselves.

Association of thieves


The only unity you will only find in Nigeria is " Unity amongst the" hence you have honour amongst criminals"

dustydee:
POLLUTION! what measures are going to be put in place to reduce the efect of pollution that will be caused by the coal fired plants?

It is a good measure and i wonder why it has taken this long to consider using coal to fire the plant as we have had constant issues with gas and low water tide.

In the developed world you have what we call the clean coal technology as coal is dirtiest fossil fuel one can ever come across so to overcome this the coal is washed to seperate impurities during this washing process the coal is also broken small pieces. 

If the adequate process is followed and the contractor is not cutting corners  then coal is much more safer and reliable than other fossil fuel in the Nigerian context hence we wont have to worry about sabotage to gas pipes  or low water tide


Below is a process i found on http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/4468076.stm


"Burning coal produces a range of pollutants that harm the environment: Sulphur dioxide (acid rain); nitrogen oxides (ground-level ozone) and particulates (affects people's respiratory systems).
There are a number of options to reduce these emissions:

Sulphur dioxide (SO2)

Flue gas desulphursation (FGD) systems are used to remove sulphur dioxide. "Wet scrubbers" are the most widespread method and can be up to 99% effective.
A mixture of limestone and water is sprayed over the flue gas and this mixture reacts with the SO2 to form gypsum (a calcium sulphate), which is removed and used in the construction industry.

Nitrogen oxides (NOx)
NOx reduction methods include the use of "low NOx burners". These specially designed burners restrict the amount of oxygen available in the hottest part of the combustion chamber where the coal is burned. This minimises the formation of the gas and requires less post-combustion treatment.
Particulates emissions


Electrostatic precipitators can remove more than 99% of particulates from the flue gas. The system works by creating an electrical field to create a charge on particles which are then attracted by collection plates. Other removal methods include fabric filters and wet particulate scrubbers. "

ROSSIKE:
blacksta, look, honestly speaking, I-Drive can be replicated on that Allen, if we take ourselves seriously as a people who want to move forward. A people to reckon with.

Do you know there are several shops and outlets on Allen that will give anywhere on I-Drive a run for it's money, in terms of  sheer class? Why then should people have to be jumping gutter and looking out for crazed okada cyclists in between patronising these outlets on Allen?

I passed one really fine shop on Allen that dealt in flowers or something. Really sophisticated set up. Exterior Decor and signage were first class. In between the place and the road was this really foul gutter that just made you wonder how the two could possibly co-exist in the same space. Like gold sat beside goat shiit. This needs to stop.

I agree 100% - actually there nothing so special about I drive apart from Sea world and a house that is upside down. Nigeria is about 25 years back in terms of development and it will take time to get there but first we need selfless leaders who will put National interest above personal interests.

Allen avenue has now been abandoned for the Island which itself is a shame. I remember those days Allen was a happening place.

My head ori mi to fo


See this people comparing I - Drive with Allen.

U see any gutter for I drive -

U people watch yourself.

Are you sure it was Mend or GEJ that issued this disclaimer

cause Mend told us yesterday operation blow up ND has commenced

or

I will charge you with a treasonable offence  - I am a SS 

Nigerians are completely disenfranchised  - Our so called leaders operate with  different sets of rational one that is completely far from the masses. Majority of people think it is business as usual for the corrupt elites under a government of Ebele.

GEJ is too timid to upset the status quo. At this point of time Nigeria needs someone who will tip the balance in favour of the masses and not the corrupt ruling cabal.

No way!!!!!!! Not when the donkey starts flying in the sky; Jonathan belongs to the party that TERRORIZE, LOOT, and RAPED this country for soooooo long; he is knee deep high with all these political terrorists; he is really dancing on the mine's field; I pity him a lot.

When the messiah comes,everyone will know,,his approach to governance will be a departure from the past,we will see the sense of urgency in his approach to issues,the changes that the messiah bring will be seen in our life not enumerated on Facebook, Ebele Jonathan, is just the same old stale stew served in a different plate

Messiah my foot! One more mention of this will trigger an immediate revolution in Nigeria. What do you mean "Is Jonathan the messiah?


Posted by Victor on Jan 19 2011
There will be no other Messiah (or Moses for that matter) for Nigeria! "It is my good actions and yours, not our hypocracy that will get us to the promise land" It is insane to keep thinking the present political set-up will ever produce a selfless, people-oriented leadership. We are spiralling in a circle of self destruction and hoping help will come from outside. Give it up folks; the only messiah we will get is "the man in the mirror" Let each one of us be good, always do the right thing and demand same from his neighbour, for without these basics, salvation is a long way coming!

Can a pig stay away from dirt? No So nobody should expect a pdp candidate to be clean or have the interests of Nigerians at heart. Vote Buhari no matter what anyone says he is the only man in the current race that has served as minister for petroleum for that matter governor head of state head of ptf and come out with NOT a single issue of corruption against him. In today's Nigeria if we have a real leader who can tame corruption and send it packing it is Buhari. I got nothing against Ribadu but his tenure as EFCC boss under OBJ throws up a lot of unanswered questions. Rather than go for someone like Ribadu I would urge that we go for Buhari there is no need to test him because he has been tested in every sphere and not found wanting We need a leader that will not stand for corruption. GEJ & His PDP (the party is a true reflection of its real masters OBJ/GEJ) are a ready made excuse for corruption and we should endeavor to vote them all out of office at all levels come April 2011

well said Dongo, I couldn't agree with you more. "we will see the sense of urgency in his approach to issues,the changes that the messiah bring will be seen in our life not enumerated on Facebook, Ebele Jonathan, is just the same old stale stew served in a different plate"

Jonathan has never been know to rock the boat. He thrives on status-quo and fears confrontations. Mark my word, we will soon become number one most corrupt country , from our current third position, a position we achieved, under Jonathan's watch!


Posted by Mr Objective on Jan 19 2011
Messa what? If you ask me about Donald Duke, we know his antecedents, if we talk of Maruwa , we remember his efforts in Lagos (tricycles are even called Maruwa in his remembrance) . If we talk of Fashola, or el-rufai, or Ribadu, or okonjo iweala, All these men have an antecedent for radical leadership, that could translate into the change we need. But Jonathan? Please stop dreaming Nigerians. Just look at the ministers he surrounds himself with.

Posted by Peter Pan on Jan 19 2011
I'm not in the least a fan of Jonathan Goodluck, but to base your entire critic of his government on the detention of Mr. Okey Ndibe (as silly as that was), I think, was a grossly missed opportunity. I really believe columnists owe Nigeria a lot more than you have collectively managed so far. This was disappointing, really.


Posted by UnklGee on Jan 19 2011
Messiah ko! Messiah ni! He is as much the Messaiah as Obasanjo was.


Posted by Ije Ngala on Jan 19 2011
Our redemption lies in each of us doing the right thing for our collective good. Stop expecting Jonathan or anyone else for that matter to wave and usher in Uhuru. By the way, Mr. Ndibe confirms that his ordeal was in the course of over-zealousness by junior officers. Leave GEJ out of your silly blame game. The man has more on his plate that Mr. Ndibe's passport!


Posted by NativeSon on Jan 19 2011
Mr Writer Egbejule No one can save you but yourself. And that starts with your mind and aspirations. No one man can save a whole nation. Play your part constructively and all our efforts can save Nigeria. I see you place the arrest of Okey Ndibe higher than the fighting and bomb explosions that have taking so many lives in Jos, Edo, Bayelsa, Delta and Abuja. Your worry shouldn't be about some Messiah, you should be worrying about the Devil lurking outside your bedroom door.

Mr. President,

I remember that sometime in August last year as I sweated out yet another night of power outage, I promised myself I would vote for you when you eventually decided to run for the office of president. You had just launched the roadmap for the power sector and I had, typical Nigerian that I am, begun to hope afresh. At the time, there were declarations of interest and rumours of declarations of interest and I’d singled you as the best of the available candidates. I reasoned that you could probably be the one to miraculously nurse your infected party, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), back to sanity; that you would be the Messiah we seek.

More than four months later, one more birthday for me, and I am now doubtful of that. Of course, I will vote; that is after all my right. Voting for you is however one action whose possibility continues to diminish. Every new day gives me reason to agree with most of my contemporaries that you are not the long-awaited saviour.

The actions and inactions of your government make me sympathise briefly with those who have chosen to take the cowardly step of fleeing this country to ironically go and help make their resident countries work. Poverty has remained our neighbour and as the rapper MI (you do know him sire?) says:”Hunger hold man for neck like say na bowtie”. There is no day Nigerians do not wake up to read or hear about something negative in the news that could have been averted but for inaction and passive governance, or something that could have been positive and benefited the masses but for the actions of government.

A few days ago, I read online that Okey Ndibe, the Okey Ndibe, had been arrested. Pardon my sentimental attachment to the name; it is same for the man himself who I first met in 2008 at a literary meet to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the release of elder statesman Chinua Achebe’s uber-classic, Things Fall Apart. We did not chat for long but our little discussion remains evergreen for me. It was an expectedly great moment for me because I had been reading his pieces in The Sun and had googled him more at the time, than any other Nigerian writer, save Niyi Osundare.

So, sir, I was shocked that in an age where freedom of speech and of the press continue to make a statement in the enthronement of justice and protection of justice, a patriotic citizen such as Mr. Ndibe who continues to play his part in national development from faraway America could be detained. In civilized places, men of his ilk are given a hero’s welcome.

I want to assume that you are not behind the dehumanising ordeal of Mr. Ndibe and that it was just the belligerence of overzealous security agents seeking instant gratification. It is, apart from being morally, socially and democratically wrong, politically dumb, so to speak, to arrest a critic or anyone whatsoever at this critical period when you are pursuing your re-election. This, sir, is 2011, probably the most significant year in Nigerian political history after 1960 and 1993. So, you may want to listen less to those who call themselves your advisers.

It is you who will face the consequences of acting on their half-baked advice and if your name is rubbed in the mud, they will find new employers. You, sir, will retire to a quiet life in your village and be content to come out twice a year to give lectures to small audiences.

I am also assuming that you are a gentleman and that like all gentlemen and leaders, you will not shy away from admitting that detaining the man was wrong. At least a simple public apology will do. It will not turn back the hands of time but it will definitely show sincerity of purpose to the people you govern. No one is infallible, sir and there is no need to keep up a show of being so.

perhaps those brits who protested should have also known their place

Most of these GEJ apologetics has somehow lost the ability to reason logically.

Thank for the telegraph article -

In a sane country it is one rule for everybody but come to Nigeria it is different and one GEJ malu will tell  you to work harder so you can afford to send your children to private schools.

I do like my father does.

if you have seen me you have seen the father.

This is what to expect from an administration of GEJ impunity across the country.

I strongly believe it is business as usual for the corrupt elites who will thrive under GEJ all because the man has turned a blind eye all to become president by force.

People like Akala have been empowered by inept administration of GEJ anyway what do expect from a man who released a murderer in the same state for the sake of votes.

A south suburban man was charged Monday in connection with the slaying of a University of Illinois at Chicago graduate student gunned down in front of his Dolton home.

Nelon Drake, 22, of the 15500 block of South Dobson Avenue in Dolton, appeared in court Monday and was charged with first-degree murder for the Nov. 29 death of Olubusayo Awomolo. Robbery appeared to be the motive for the shooting, Cook County state's attorney spokeswoman Sally Daly said. Drake's bond was set at $2 million, Daly said.

"We are happy that they have at least caught the shooter," said Adeola Awomolo, Olubusayo Awomolo's stepmother. "We had trust they would do something, but it was not easy. We went the whole month of December and heard nothing."

Haahahhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

You have not seen anything yet.

A GEJ Adminstration will surely send us back to the stone age.

do you know that the Government of GEJ has ordered the Army to shoot to kill rioters in Jos. You and i know that mostly civilians will get caught in this crossfire. Which country in this world orders shoots 2 kill it citizens. The last one that tried it the people brought down the government.

Welldone - So you  can reason.

I thought PHCN, bad roads and random police killings have eaten your brain.

Nigeria is one of few countries in the world where academic excellence is automatically classed as instant success.

Hence the reason you have many Nigerians both home and abroad racking up shelves of degrees, Masters, pHDS and yet Limited or 0 practical and commercial experience.


The question is " when r they going to leave school to put all their so called educational luggage into practice".
