President Goodluck Jonathan declared his intention to run for office of President of Nigeria on his Facebook page.

The declaration confirmed that a formal declaration will be held at Eagle Square, Abuja on Saturday 18 September, 2010.

The statement read in part: "Today, I confirm that after wide and thorough consultations spanning the six geo-political zones that make up Nigeria, with members of my family, my party, the opposition, civil society, the Private Sector, members of the Labour Unions, religious leaders, youths and student groups and our revered traditional institutions, I Goodluck Ebele Jonathan by the grace of God hereby offer myself and my services to the Nigerian people as a candidate for the office of President in the forth coming 2011 elections."

Illiterate!

Please, Jonathan should not be stopped o.
The rigging nor go sweet na.

I yamu looking forward to the battle of the riggers o. . . bomb blast and all.
Shegey!
The only entertainment for me after the Super Bowl?

Make una nor tryam o!

Jonathan should counter sue. . .after all Atiku is holding an umbrella and a broom(multi-party loyalty. . . ) and he is wanted in the USA too for 'fraud'. . .


Haba! What are Jonathan's lawyers doing?

but because we have chosen to ignore reality and hide like cowards and helpless people under the canopy of religion.

Cowards will always find excuses or passive-aggressive behaviors.
They keep looking to God. . .who has turned a deaf ear and a blind eye to their affairs eons ago.
We can only wish ourselves goodluck jonathan!
Some problems are not 'fixable'!

God has absolutely nothing to do with it. . .he gave Nigerians and the world free will and we are excercizing it fully!
So, what has God or the Devil got to do with the affairs of men and women with 'free will' to do as they please?

Absolutely nothing!

No.
Neither is it a Christian nation.
All we have are hypocrites masquerading as Muslims and Christians.
In a nut shell, Nigeria is a 'godless' nation.

If you like, split Nigeria into 5000 particles. . . you will get the same result.
A Nigerian will always be a Nigerian. A major character defect with far-reaching adverse genetic consequences.
Nigerians live in foreign countries where there are no religious/civil unrests, but are still the lawless citizens they will always be.

Religion is only an excuse for renegades to become the most lawless individuals that you can come across.

Most of the people shouting Islam-Islam  or Christian-Christian cannot even read/understand the so-called Koran/Bible or wharreva being stark illiterates.
What you have is a 'herd' mentality without any meaningful underlying principles or value systems period.
Monkey see. . . monkey do. . . no brains.
Please, tell us something else.

FOR PEACEFUL SPLITTING OF NIGERIA?? THE AGENDA OF THE NORTH ENGINEERED BY BOTH ATIKU AND BABANGIDA IS TO PROVOKE THE CHRISTIANS TO RETALIATE BY BOMBING MOSQUE, THEN A CHAOTIC SITUATION WILL MAR THE FORTH COMMING ELLECTIONS.

Actually. . . "Christians" do not need any help with provocation either. . . they can do bad by themselves.
The only Christian I ever heard of was Jesus Christ himself, whom I have never met. . . Poor him!
Together we have an unusual motely crew of 'confusion'!

Aigbofa:
Speak for yourself, buddy. Nice to know you are a savage, primitive, tribalist first, before being a Nigerian.

I admire your honesty though, but not every Nigerian is like you.

At least I am honest, unlike ALL of you on NL and Nigeria.
If you were so loving of yourselves as non-tribalists, you would have been a super power way ahead of China by now.
But triabalism and nepotism keeps pulling you downwards and backwards, you cannot even afford electricity/adequate plumbing in all your Nigerian mansions!

Ha!

Muslim Marital Traditions
Following common tradition, Abiola took four wives; Simibiat Atinuke Shoaga in 1960, Kudirat Olayinki Adeyemi in 1973, Adebisi Olawunmi Oshin in 1974, and Doyinsola (Doyin) Abiola Aboaba in 1981. He is said to have fathered over 40 children from these four marriages. Abiola's second wife, Kudirat, was murdered in the capital city of Lagos in 1996. There was speculation that her death was caused by the military, but no proof was ever found. His third wife, Doyin, ran a newspaper chain he owned until it was closed by the government. In 1992, Abiola was ordered to pay $20,000 a month in child support to a woman who claimed to be his wife. His lawyers argued in a New Jersey court that Abiola had only four wives; this woman was just one of his 19 concubines

Twa!!!!

Man-hoe!

We are not interested in the Jos or Abuja bombings.
These are useless distractions.
Nigerians need to only watch GEJ and Atiku. . . the next thieving, dictator of the Nigerian Banana Republic.

We know.

Who is your choice please?

All are thieves. . . so you must choose one.

Anyone but OBJ. . . and ANYTHING OBJ is goood.

Break the curse please.

^^^
Mu he he he he he

Gooooooooooooooooo "Tikkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkku"!!!

You were operating under the 'don't ask, don't tell' rule under OBJ. We forgive you. . .
Fire on sir!

Jonathan, please step down. Take your 'mgbeke', Okrika First-Lady with you too.
Thanks!

Chai!

Tomorrow someone will shout Sambo na thieffffuuuuu!!!

No wonder the 'Samba-ba-loo' is keeping mute.

What is the proposed re-current expenditure for the President sir?

Please, Abiola had only 4 wives and 19 concubines, 15 ECOMOG  basstards. . . one "manliness Cheney or freewilly" o!
What killed him again?

We hear he even converted to Islam JUST to get those 4 wives. . . then could not have any other religion since the maximum was 4 by the Islamic tradition. Then he discovered the Mormon Church. Rumors even had it that he was gonna open a Mormon compound somewhere in Ijesha before divine intervention stopped him.

Oturugbeke o!

fstranger6:
Whatz up with the Viagra bottle beside the food in your profile pic?

It is a multivitamin bottle son.
We have to keep young you know?
Some men have the power for 4. . . I am can only manage on.

No wonder Jamilah preferred to be a fourth wife and converted to "Chrislam"!

With people like these. . . I applaud Miram Babangidda, Titi and Jamillah Atiku for fleeing across state lines for men who would treat them better.
Not as if there are enough "Ojukwus" to go around in the Eastern parts of Nigeria o.
Can't understand what the fuss is all about.
Village peeps!
It is better to marry a Sharia man than some of these so called 'Village Christians' still worshipping idols.
We ain't talking "American Idols" either.

Tchweeeeeeeeeeehhh!!!

sumerian:
Are Africans generally more prone to expressing xenophobic behavior than other nationalities; Europeans for instance.

Yes! And African-Americans too who suffer from the MOST severe and chronic cases of xenophobia. Don't let them deceive you for one second. The mutual distrust between African Americans and Africans lives for ever.

And if so what is the cause of this behavior, given than we come from a common legacy of colonialism, apartheid and other forms of oppression?

Jealousy, spite, envy, insecurity, illiteracy, TRIBALISM, poverty, lack of spirituality, RELIGION, cognitive impairment, laziness and shamelessness to mention just a few.

Most feel bad they are still stuck in the mud, while others have moved on.
Most run away from Africa. . .like myself. . .to beg to be recolonized.
What is there to be proud about cocerning Africa?
NO proud African would be away from Africa today. . .for any reason.
Others leave their countries because they have a choice.
Africans leave Africa because they have NO choice.
Gladly too. No regrets.

Bottomline. . .self-hate.
The worst psychological, under-diagnosed psychosis. . . perculiar to Africans alone.

Please, speak for yourself. I do NOT come from a common legacy of colonialism, apartheid and other forms of oppression. 3 generations have come and gone before me, without experiencing any of these. . . .and I refuse to acknowlege they exist in my life. I don't have to wait 500 years to be a decent human being. That is all it takes to rise above the sub-human status of a base animal.

Thank you.

Mu he he he he

What a primitive society!

Nigerians do not realize that they are soooooooooo cursed. . .maxed out on curses. . . that even the Devil and God combined cannot effect any more curses. Not to mention the mortal non-entities effecting more lame curses.



Abeg make una let me enjoy my breakfast this fine morrrring o!

What a laff!

Only one with the worst case of self-denial will state that Nigeria's problems has nothing to do with tribes.
It has EVERYTHING to do with tribes. Who are you trying to deceive with all the usual big-big grammar?

EVERY Nigerian(including myself) is a savage, primitive, tribalist FIRST before a Nigerian. The difference with civilized nations.
Twa!

1. People change
2. Things change
3. Situations change
4. Medical changes

One word. . . CHANGE. For better of for worse. . .the only true constant in life is CHANGE.

No condition is permanent in this world.

Bring it on!!!

You mean a retro-developing country.
Please, quit dreaming.
I would have long perished thank God!

That was Xmas bonus.
Wait till you see the New Year Election-Rigging bon[b]oooo[/b]se as my Igbo friends would say.

Oga Jonathan. . . .ha fa na?

Damn right!
Jonathan the 'daft' needs to obey the party's wishes or get the hellout of Dodge.
He should be disqualified for flouting party rules.
He who waves the umbrella. . .also carries a broom.

PDP for life!

This is for Shy-One.
Sorry, my files are too large and I cannot post the pictures here.
Copy them from my picture profile. Let me know if you have any problems.
Total cooking time. . .Less than 1 hour(preparation and cooking).

This is a very heavy dish(high in carb, protein and fat. . .NOT the healthiest of meals I must warn you) . . . eat for lunch only. Not for breakfast or dinner. Do not go to sleep after eating this meal. . .Only eat once a month, or let the skinny kids eat most of it. Just a mouth full sends them to sleep for hours.

*Boiled Yams(sold in African stores mostly)
You can also substitute with sweet/Irish/red-skinned/bake potatos
*Fried Plantains
*Egg/spinach/shrimp/corned beef/tomato casserole


Yams.
Not candid yams please o(found in tin cans)
Must be peeled and cooked first.
Yams are different and some could be over-cooked in only 10 minutes.
Peel and boil your yams like you would your potatos for like 10 minutes till semi done/cooked.
Salt to taste while boiling, not after.
Only cook for 15 minutes, pour away the water and let self-steam covered in a pan with a lid to avoid over-cooking.
Set aside when done by draining the excess water and transferring to a dish with a lid.\

Fried Plantains
Not bananas
Plantains are bigger than bananas and cannot be eaten without cooking them first unlike bananas.
No green plantains. . . too hard and unripe! Yellow plantains only. . . not over-ripe and soggy. . . .toooo sweet!
Peel your plantain(salt to taste) I prefer mine unsalted.
Fry till golden brown in peanut/canola/vegetable/olive oil(your choice) on medium heat.
When done, place in a sieve to drain the excess oil from the plantain.
Wrap in foil to keep moist and warm till ready to eat within 10 minutes.
Plantains cool the fastest, but may be reheated if needed.

Save the frying oil when cooled in a plastic container and can be reused for up to 6 months if stored in the refrigerator.
Set plantains wrapped in a foil and placed in a container(glass or plastic) till ready to eat, when the egg casserole dish is ready.

Egg/spinach/shrimp/tomato/corned-beef casserole
Depending on your family size and if you are having a one-course meal. . . you ingredient size may vary.

1. 6-12 eggs(more if you only use egg whites)

2. 1-pack of uncooked, deveined, tailess, frozen shrimp(15-30 count). You can used cooked if you prefer. I prefer the freshness of the uncooked shrimp/less salt too.

3. 1-2 cups of chopped spinach(frozen or fresh, your choice). I use frozen. If you love spinach, you can use more.

4. Half a can of Brazilian corned beef. . . If you love corned beef, you may use the whole can. If is full of SALT. . .so watch your spices so you don't over-salt this dish.

5. 3-4 red tomatos, pepper of your choice(I use hanebero hot peppers. . .JUST ONE. . .or my kids will NOT eat it ) You can also use assorted bell peppers just for color and taste. I small Valdelia onion.

6. Your choice of cooking oil. I use Canola.

Rinse out your frozen shrimp and let thaw completely.
Slice, dice or chop your tomatoes, onions, peppers as you like them
Drain your spinach of excess water by defrosting for 5 minutes if frozen. Do not rinse out if frozen. Squeeze out excess water from your spinach.
Only rinse and drain the fresh spinach.

Use a large non-stick frying pan or cooking pot. Non-stick pans only to avoid scorching your casseroles.
Pour the desired quantity of oil usually 1 cup maximum to reduce the fat consumed.

Let your oil be warm not hot( I hate splashes) you will burn your meal and it will remain under-cooked.
Since you have a lot of ingredients in your casserole, let it cook/simmer slowly(takes 15-20minutes minimum). I like my eggs well-cooked.

Sautee your tomatoes, onions, peppers, spinach and corned beef first in your cooking oil using your cooking/frying pan. . .NO SKILLETS please(you food will run all over)
Turn frequently, to ensure all portions are equally/evenly done. Cook for only 10 minutes. AVOID HIGH TEMPERATURES.

Taste your half-cooked casserole FIRST before you spice and add your eggs! Corned-beef is high in sodium and you will have to be very careful not to over-salt your eggs.
Better to under-salt than over-salt, since you can alway add salt to your meal after cooking it, but you can NEVER remove the salt if you ruin your meal.


Beat your eggs thorougly to avoid different colorations of white vs yellow in your meal. . . unless you like multi-colored eggs. . .not a problem. Your choice.
Add eggs last because they cook in less than 5 minutes. Turn frequently as soon as you see the eggs solidify. Flip from one side to the other as needed.
It is normal to see your cooking oil disappear with the juices of the tomatos/spinach/corned beef/shrimp. Let it cook slowly and the moisture would evaporate, leaving the oil.
If you have excess oil after cooking, drain and discard.

Do not drain your meal while cooking. . . .Only after cooking to get rid of the excess oil only. Leave the juices in.

Serve with your pre-cooked yams and fried plantains. . .  Beverage of your choice.

Store all left-overs in the refrigerator immediately when cooled. Eggs and spinach should be refrigerated to avoid contamination.

Bon-appetit!

Dry jokes.
Pretty woman tho.
