Mother of all Sycophancy  -


we have had our many battles  - which i believe i always come out on top cause i reason logically  but he keeps coming back for more whooping and when he has been defeated/out reasoned  he automatically

reverts

to insults and posting some useless doctored photoshop images.

KnowAll:
[size=18pt]It is a private Uni, for crying out loud, if u don’t like there rules get d fuuuuccck out of the place, na by force.[/size]

I share the same ideology.

I am not surprised "it is pure insanity to expect good to come out evil" How i wish Nigerians can wake up and realise these imbeclies we call leaders dont mean well for Nigeria it is business as usual fro the corrupt politicians and one wonders why GEJ would turn a blind eye to the mess happening in ogun state and support an election rigger in Delta. It is unfortunate that if things dont change for the better we will remain in darkness till eternity.

correct journalism - not like other apologetic newspapers we have in nigeria

I think you meant Ribadu.

oyb:
come out of the twilight zone

we have 'daring investors' in nigeria  

Maybe he meant daring politicians as prescribed by OBJ " it is do or die affair"

Ma_J_Blige:
The 26 year old owner of Facebook is now a billionaire in dollar terms. All he needed was an idea.

Will you stop making statements out of context  -  Are you aware of the startup or investors capital that was available to fb in it early days.  Even the almighty google sought funding from various investors.   In the Nigerian context investors dont exist and if you ever find one , his ROI would simply be unachievable.  

Entrepreneurial spirt exists in Nigeria but i am sorry to say they never grow past the front of their house or the road side  like the tyre repair guy or the woman selling pepper.

tensor777:
You are 100% right there . Creativity has little or nothing to do with mundane issues like good roads and fast broadband connectivity  . These are mere excuses.
However there are a few sociocultural reasons that militate against the fostering of a truly sustainable enterpreneurial  culture in Nigeria.
That is not to say that there are not quite a few home-grown enterpreners in Nigeria but of course I agree with you there should be much more of them given Nigeria's size and strategic position within Africa.

How dare you call good roads and broadband connectivity mundane issues  - if it is that mundane and Glo and Main 1 must be very stupid spending billions  trying to connect West Africa to the high speed broadband gateway of Europe and America.

Beaf:
Your head has never come out of your smelly arse. Do countries like the US not have the CIA and FBI? Why did they need Homeland security and a whole new raft of laws after 911?
Abeg, I don't want to discuss with fools, please pass by. Allow intelligent folk to reply me, you a rich example of what dunce is.

What a brainless cockcroach! Is the police not being overhauled already? How is it naturally possible to be so daft and ignorant? Damn!

At least i am smelling my own as s.  unlike you who is forever enthroned in between GEJ bum chicks  and cant see light.



A benefit of Homeland Security is a coordination of the efforts of the major intelligence agencies in the United States. Prior to the creation of Homeland Security, communication between different

intelligence agencies--CIA, FBI, NSA and others--was not considered completely effective.

Homeland is not new force it is simply harnessing the powers of the existing structures.


idiiooooooooot and stop comparing apples and oranges.

where as in Nigeria

Police  =  Failure
sss = failure
National security Agency = Failure

And Mumu GEJ wants to appoint terrorism cszar to manage failures.  what a joke.

Without an overhaul in the Police, sss, nsa  - we aint going nowhere.

more money down the drain.  like the idioot ideas of 10000 Army to police Jos .  So if another boko haram happen in Lagos  - your mumu  president will create another set of 10000 army . with the existing police and sss left to decay.

Beaf:
^
You don't live in Nigeria? Lets assume you live in Europe or the US and not (Togo or Cote de Voire).
In practically every Western country, there is a terrorism cszar. Do you think they are stup!d too? Or do label yourself stup!d instead like quite a few of the posters on this page should?

Daft.

We agree that other countries have a terrorism cszar but in the Nigerian context it wont work just like GEJ proposed a 10000 new police for Jos. You forgot to mention that other countries you are referring to have at least an enviable police unit and terrorism unit for a terrorism cszar to manage.

Please inform us what the job of the NSA is - if that is failing i bet you 100% another layered fat called Nigerian Terrorism cszar will fail.

Nigeria is a country that continuously tries to bandage a bleeding wound. What we need is a complete overhaul of the existing security apparatus and not appointing another political manager

It is just another excuse to expand the over bloated expensive government we have in Nigeria.

idioooooooooooots



politicians that are everyday looting they will not fight  - yet when it comes to the mundane see them gather like flies over dog shit.

Fela was accurate when he tagged the Nija populace as PHD holders in act of " Suffering and Smiling"

Blackteeth:
Sometime ago, I was reading one of our popular news magazines (not paper) and I came across a line where the writer quoted the former CBN governor saying that Nigeria may still be a developing country by the year 2070. Prof Soludo as an economist, knows exactly the reason behind the statement he made. But the truth is just that it doesn't take an economics proffessor to know what lies ahead in Nigeria's future going by current happenings. And thats if the country evades a breakup till 2070. Sadly, most you posters will keep posting here till you die of old age without witnessing the Nigeria of your dreams.

true but very funny - i think you should consider comedy as a career

what has creativity got to do with a country that doesnt provide credit facilities when interest rate hinges within 22% to 25%
a country where theres non supporting facilities to entrepreneurs such as security, good roads, electricity, water, etc.
how many capital ventures do we have within this country? and are the government intervention gej screech about even for real (my dad and i went to UBA to make inquiry about the current manufacturing loan for our newly built feed mills which isnt functional yet because of low cash, we were told we must have 300million worth of asset before we get the loan. who needs a loan when you have 300mil), Now, tell me what creativity has got to do about that.
what has creative got to do in a harsh economy where the president open its country border so international competition can quash local ones.
what is creative about the fact that 70% of goods and services minus finance/artisanship falls into the hands of foreign conglomerates: shell, julius berger, delioitte, etc

Even ths question lacks creativity. Because provide a well experienced and educated nigerian with these, and you will be creating many more dangotes, bill gates and mike adenuga. the only thing lacking in creativity is the Nigerian government and its inability to sincerely create an environment that would magnetize and boost entrepreneurship creativity.[/b]

If you know how contradictory "Nigeria" and "CREATIVE entrepreneurship" sounds in business, you'll laugh at your topic.



Your reply answers the above posted comment which the OP cant understand.

Excellent Article - You captured the inner workings of PDP.


If GEJ is imposed on PDP it will lead to the following possibility

1. The breakup of PDP

IF GEJ is not elected - Militancy might increase in the ND region


This is a checkmate for Nigeria.




Even the Americans share the same sentiment.





John Cambell from Centre for Preventive action says


The victory of a southern Christian in a rigged presidential election would, on the other hand, open the
door to greater radicalization of northern Nigeria’s Islamic population. Fragmented northern elites and traditional
religious authorities are already losing stature as the impoverished population turns to nontraditional
and occasionally radical religious leadership.

If a southern-dominated Jonathan government further marginalizes
the North in the distribution of government jobs and oil revenue, this trend may worsen. Up to now,
such Islamic radicalization has been inward-looking, opposing the secular government in Abuja rather than
the western “Great Satan.” Nevertheless, intensified Islamic radicalization could open new space for international
terrorist groups hostile to the United States. An al-Qaedatrained Nigerian has already tried to blow up
a Northwest flight over Detroit. There could be more such episodes if an alienated North becomes a hospitable
environment for new, non-indigenous, radical forms of Islam.

trueword:
U are the one who is clueless. Why can't the Nigerian police force be reformed so that they can do a better job of securing various areas of country within 5 years?  You need to open your eyes and stop supporting this big waste of money that will not yield any tangible results. The solution to this security problem in country is to develop the country's infrastructure, instead of spending most of 2011 budget on recurrent expenditure.  This new advisor and the useless committees to be set up will be given all these exhorbitant allowances for all sorts of silly things. Isn't it the job of the NSA to be advising the president on these issues? Why the need for duplication?


You are just one of Jonathans sheep that will not criticize him.

Gbam X 100

did you not know that beaf is so enthroned between GEJ fat bum chicks that he is unable to see light. 


In Nigeria, positions/ministries are created to appease political friends- NDDC is a good example.

I guess this is another layer of fat in a  rapidly expanding costly useless government.

Non of the ministries or functions works at least to an enviable position.

The business terrain in Nigeria is just to hash and does not encourage entrepreneurship. I have tried doing business in Nigeria but failed because social entics of the people and system were all against me. it is was like swimming uphill practically impossible.

In the U.k i can register a business online and within 2hours that business is incorporated and following day open a business account but come to Nigeria you will jump through hell to register a business name.

GEJ is one big let down, which automatically equates to business as usual for him and the corrupt elites a man who was part of a government that depleted every available reserve in an attempt to remain president.


At the start of the current presidential term the  Excess crude account held $20 billion and before Dec 2010 the balance was $1.3 billion  and by the end of Dec $1 billion was shared by the three tier government.

If anybody is guilty of murder it is GEJ.

johndoe200:
Aside from the factual errors in your post, if Anenih was actually corrupt would not Ribadu that is so loved on NL have investigated him or the contractors?


GEJ is probably the least corrupt president we have had. Also his team is also less corrupt than the usual crowd in Abuja.

I am neither a supporter of Ribadu or Atiku .  Please if they are any factual errors  - Please highlight.  What has Nigeria degenerated too for us to accept abnormality " Less evil you say " .  I hope the little money you say GEJ steals does not deny your family that medical treatment or the pot holed road filled before your family car somersaults killing all passengers on the same stretch of road.

Most Recent Crime

The report is filled with revelations of alleged serial malpractices and shows how in 10 years, through multiple contract fraud, unhelpful connivance between contractors and government officials, N633 billion was spent on only 4,752 kilometres of road; short-changing the government of N47 million per kilometre of road.

Based on the report, between 1999 and 2009, the Ministry of Transportation, gave contracts for the construction and rehabilitation of 11, 591km roads at a cost of N1.7 trillion – about N87 million per km – and with only 24 per cent of the roads achieved, 64 per cent of the contract value has already been paid; about N133 million per km.

ABUJA—President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday manipulated greed and the desire to accumulate monies that were not needful, rather than of lack of professionals in key positions, as the problem militating against Nigeria’s development.
Speaking at the first new year service at the Trinity Catholic Church, Maitama, Abuja, Jonathan also described terrorism as a global trend which Nigeria was also experiencing, as part of the global village, noting that those behind the bombings were agents of demons.

He said he hated to use the word corruption to describe Nigeria’s problem but noted that the desire by people in positions to accumulate so much money that they or their grand children could not exhaust was the reason the country was lacking in the midst of plenty.
Responding to the call by Very Reverend Innocent Jooji, who stood in for Most Reverend John Onayekan, that professionals should be appointed into their areas of competence for greater performance, President Jonathan said that was not the problem of the country.
He informed the crowd that his administration had put professionals in key ministries but noted that with permanent secretaries and directors who had been long in ministries, if they were committed and ready to serve the nation well, the appointment of a non-professional to such ministry would not be noticed.

“I agree that round pegs should be put in round holes. My administration has been putting professionals in core ministries. This is the first time that a health professional is heading the Ministry of Health, the same with some other core ministries.
“However, what makes government to excel is not the professionalism of ministers but their integrity. What sets us backward as a nation is greed, where one person takes so much money that he and his grand children cannot finish spending. We should not accumulate what we do not need. We will do our best to select professionals but one thing we need is the credibility of the leaders,” he said.

interesting - Irrespective of what people think TB is one of those pastors in Nigeria that i respect . His style is completely different from the likes of Adeboye or oyedipo. but the predictions should not be brushed aside and every lead should be investigated by the security agencies. God does reveal to his people for prevention. It is the will of God that no one should perish especially not thru jihadist bombs

This beaf of guy is definitely age 2 - nothing concrete ever comes out of him and only result to insults to hide his low level of intelligence.


Beaf the Ima nbiro of NL you are doing butchered job for GEJ . bloody N2000 paid blogger.


over to you beaf - oya post and call me a fool.

Ileke-IdI:
So Jonathan should be carrying bricks and cements to fix up and create roads abi?

All those problems were there when Jonathan entered. Seriously, is he expecting a miracle from someone who hasnt even had 1 full term?

Even tho Jonathan is seeming less appealing in my eyes, the pators reasons are ludicrous.

O mo yi - u need a dirty slap

if he cant carry bricks then he needs to be sacked.

I am fully aware of how short GEJ has been in government but the fact remains lack of activity and his association with corrupt individuals like anneih generally reveals what to expect if the his man is elected come 2011.

What will it take for successive governments to fix the benin ore road bearing in mind that yearly budget is allocated for it.

In a free and free election GEJ will not win a local chairmanship talk less of a presidential election.

GEJ seems to be business as usual for corrupt individuals and pratices. We need to look beyond religion and ethnic lines. Nigeria at this point needs a strong and vocal person who is ready to take on the monumental task of bringing Nigeria back up and i am sorry so say GEJ is not the man

If I were Jonathan this guy would be first person i would use to set precedence but as GEJ is weak and inept he would probably give the guy a ministerial seat. I am guessing the position of Minister for defence.

Jakumo:
The recent string of car bombs in Nigeria may in fact be the handiwork of elements within the military top brass who hope to sow terror as the upcoming 2011 presidential elections draw near, such that an orchestrated and choreographed call for a regression to military rule would meet only token, subdued opposition from the population and within the corridors of power.

Given the increasing sophistication of the explosives being detonated at strategic locations and calender dates in Nigeria, an Al Queda-connected Islamist objective may have already comingled with those of renegade military officers, towards a mutually beneficial end-game that imposes amalgamated religious and military "emergency" expediences on the country, in place of a continuing democracy characterized by peacefully elected leadership.

You must be joking with the above bolded. Are you referring to the present Internal colonisation?

Not another 100 page thread.  Let he mod move this thing to the romance section.

During the ERA of PDP


We now have following

1. Kiddnapping
2.  Militancy
3  And the welcome the latest " Bombs "
4    ?


It is high time Nigerians take their destiny by force from the so called imbeciles we call leaders or else the CIA prediction of 2015 would become a reality.

It is only a fool that would deny that the political terrain of Nigeria is changing for worse.

The victory of a southern Christian in a rigged presidential election would, on the other hand, open the
door to greater radicalization of northern Nigeria’s Islamic population. Fragmented northern elites and traditional
religious authorities are already losing stature as the impoverished population turns to nontraditional
and occasionally radical religious leadership. If a southern-dominated Jonathan government further marginalizes
the North in the distribution of government jobs and oil revenue, this trend may worsen. Up to now,
such Islamic radicalization has been inward-looking, opposing the secular government in Abuja rather than
the western “Great Satan.” Nevertheless, intensified Islamic radicalization could open new space for international
terrorist groups hostile to the United States. An al-Qaedatrained Nigerian has already tried to blow up
a Northwest flight over Detroit. There could be more such episodes if an alienated North becomes a hospitable
environment for new, non-indigenous, radical forms of Islam.

If Jonathan does not emerge victorious in the 2011 elections, there will likely be greater militant activity in the
Niger Delta. The militants are mostly Jonathan’s fellow Ijaws, an ethnic group that sees his candidacy as providing
them with a seat at the national table for the first time since independence. If thwarted by Jonathan’s
exclusion from power, they are likely to abandon the restraint they usually show in their attacks on the petroleum
industry.

In this context, there are three likely outcomes to the PDP nomination process that will precede the 2011
elections: (1) northern and southern elites reach an agreement to support Jonathan’s candidacy; (2) Jonathan
steps aside in favor of a consensus candidate from the North; or (3) no consensus candidate emerges and the
PDP fragments. While each of these scenarios poses problems for Nigerian peace and stability, a divided PDP
presents the highest likelihood of destabilizing postelectoral sectarian violence and a subsequent coup.

John Cambell says


The ruling People’s Democratic Party is the forum in which most of Nigeria’s political horse trading is done.
The PDP, however, is fragile. The party has little internal discipline, no political platform or principles, and it
generates little popular enthusiasm. When former president Olusegun Obasanjo ran roughshod over party
rules in late 2006 to ensure that the party nominated his handpicked choices for president and vice president
(Umaru Yar’Adua and Goodluck Jonathan, respectively), there was only minimal protest from party members.
However, with Obasanjo no longer dominating the party, and Jonathan’s potential candidacy in 2011

upsetting the regional power-sharing cycle, the possibility now exists that no stabilizing elite consensus will
emerge from within the PDP.
