confusion247: The answer can easily be found in injustice. Jonathan must complete his second term in office if we still want Nigeria. Then after that Igbos should be allowed to rule if we believe in justice and equality.
As your name, so your comments. Nigeria is bigger than one single ethnic group.

nuclearboy: Its obvious he signed!

Its also obvious the agreement is between him and them, not between him and Nigerians since neither represented Nigeria in the negotiations (which only proves governance is not about Nigerians but personal interest)

Its again obvious he will renege on the agreement and totally destroy whatever claims of honor he had!

Its certain they will all turn against him and deliver their electorates to the "enemy" if only to spite him!

Personal ambition and greed will destroy PDP one way or the other

this statement summarizes the aim of all politicians. I always ask the same question over and over again, Are all these accusations and strategies aimed at improving the lot of Nigerians?

Politics › Re: $650m Abuja Medical City Planned By FG by bong4(m): 9:06am On Feb 14, 2013
ROSSIKE: Nothing happened to them. Those hospitals are functioning adequately. Have you ever been in National Hospital Abuja? I doubt there is any equipment lacking in that place.

Here's the website:

http://www.nationalhospitalabuja.net/

Many of us who don't visit these places assume automatically that they're lacking in everything.

The govt just wants to build a BIGGER and BETTER hospital.
So sad a Nigerian is saying this, perhaps you are the P.A to Mr President or health minister. Where did the name Medical Tourism come from? Is it not from the frivolous trips by people occupying leadership abroad for medical treatment. If the so called National hospital and its likes are functioning, then people like Chime, Imoke, Patience would have sought solace there rather than fool us with their propaganda of good health service for all while they galivant around the globe.

This is a victory for the ordinary nigerian who criticized the team but silently prayed and believed God for improvements while expecting no monetary returns except joy and happiness devoid of bad news of corruption, bombings etc. Let no politician or prophet or whoever take glory 'cos We give all Glory to God Almighty. I love Nigeria, God bless Nigeria. Amen.
Sports › (culled From My Facebook Page) The Story Of Victor Moses By Dele Momodu by bong4(op): 9:41am On Feb 08, 2013
This is the story of a young boy whose parents were murdered during 2002 riots in Kaduna. He was aged 11 years at the time. His parents, Mr Austine and Mrs Josephine Moses, were missionaries until they met their untimely death. The boy left his house to play football but returned home to see that all his parents had laboured for had been razed down and he would never see his mother and father again.
... He was taken to London by his uncle almost immediately after the incident. While in London, he began deploying his football skills. Though his parents were murdered, his passion for football was never killed. He played football for his school and later for a local Tandrige League club until Crystal Palace FC approached him. From that point, his career progressed in leaps and bounds.
This player played for England's under 16, 17, 19 and 21 teams between 2005 and 2010 scoring 11 goals for England during this period. He later moved to Wigan Athletic and now he plays for Chelsea. This footballer is called VICTOR MOSES.

His story is a touching one, I share his pains. I also share his courage. He had a choice not to step into Nigeria again but he didn't take that option. When the call to serve his father land came, Moses dumped England and embraced Nigeria... That is patriotism!

Today, we see a Victor Moses bringing joy to every Nigerian including those who may have inspired his parent's death... That is Love!

On Sunday, Moses would stand for the National Anthem and pledge allegiance to a country that couldn't defend his parents... That is faith!
Moses would deliver the "African Cup of Nations" trophy to Nigeria not minding what had happened in the past... That is forgiveness! Moses rose through bitterness and despair to the limelight of hope and courage.
He never gave up on his country. He persevered... That is purpose!
If someone like Victor Moses, despite the bitter past, never gave up on Nigeria, then why should we? ONE NIGERIA

We will only call this an achievement when those occupying leadership position start using the so called train. How can i spend 9 hours or so from ilorin to lagos when by car it is much faster. The essence of using flight is meeting up with engagements and same should be extended to the train.
Politics › Re: All Progressive Congress (APC) Party: ANPP, CPC, ACN And APGA Finally Merged by bong4(m): 11:25am On Feb 07, 2013
It is not about the container but the content. There is nothing new about this new party. Same old corrupt fellows. When you have Tom Ikimi as your merger chairman then i am afraid of what you have to offer. By the way is the merger just to push PDP out of power or to sincerely walk for the good of the Nigerian people.
Sports › Re: Player Rating: Nigeria Vs Mali by bong4(m): 11:18am On Feb 07, 2013
Good on from the eagles. WHen Nigerians criticize them it is because we know their full potentials and we need them to live up to that. The group stage was not too good and one would not expect Nigerians to praise them for that. They took the criticism in good faith and improved tremendously in their subsequent games bringing back the flavour and flow of the super eagles we know. Hence our victories over CIV and Mali was not a fluke but a true reflection of the fact that we do not have mates in Africa football. Infact we should not be playing qualifying rounds with these countries rather we should be waiting for the final while other countries play amongst themselves and meet us in the finals.
Having said this, all these victories will not be complete if we do not win the cup. Nearly can not kill a bird. We need that cup to take our rightful place in the world. They must play their hearts out on sunday, beat b'fase convincingly on sunday and get our praises. Anything short of the cup is not acceptable.

Well i congratulate the eagles. They have justified the money spent on them so far but let me add. The assignment given to them is to bring back the nations cup and not to beat Ivory Coast. Nigeria should be the standard in africa football not any other country. Let the eagles know that the only team left that plays open and positive football is Ghana thus we can handle them very well like the Ivorians. Our problem is definitely how to handle Mali and Burkina Faso that play negative soccer just to frustrate you.Nigeria has the capability to win this cup but to this the whole has to keep the tempo high. I wish them the best.

Politics › Plea Bargain Is Mockery Of Justice by bong4(op): 2:44pm On Jan 30, 2013
[b][/b][b][/b]On Monday, a Federal Capital Territory High Court handed down the first conviction of persons involved in the theft of N32.8bn Police Pensions Fund.

However, in what seems to have turned out to be another wild goose chase in the President Goodluck Jonathan administration’s anti-graft war, the convict received what is tantamount to a slap on the wrist, considering the amount of money involved and the attendant moral issues, and not forgetting the implications for the nation’s image in the comity of nations.

A director in the Police Pensions Office, Mr. John Yusuf, alongside six others, was convicted for converting public fund to their personal use, an offence punishable under Section 309 of the Penal Code Act, Cap 532, Laws of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, Nigeria, 2007.

Yusuf had used the purloined fund to amass 13 houses in the FCT and Gombe State; while he also had N325m stashed in his bank account.

Initially, Yusuf had made a “not guilty” plea, which he later changed to “guilty,” obviously in return for a light sentence, which he got.

Under the extant laws, each of the three counts of offences carries a paltry two-year jail term or an option of fine in the sum of N250,000. The two-year jail terms run concurrently. And if he is able to pay the N750,000, he will be a free man.

The presiding judge, Justice Abubakar Talba, handed down the sentence on Monday, after Yusuf had successfully utilised the doctrine of plea bargain – a process that has been bastardised in recent times by influential but corrupt public office holders in Nigeria. The list is only getting longer.

It may be recalled that on December 19, 2008, an Enugu High Court fined former Governor of Edo State, Lucky Igbinedion, the sum of N3.5m, after he had entered into a plea bargain with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

Igbinedion had faced 191-count charges which were, on December 17, 2008, narrowed down to one after his plea bargain.

The final accusation against him was that he “neglected to make a declaration of your interest in the Account No: 4124013983110 with a new generation bank … in the declaration of assets form of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and you thereby committed an offence punishable under Section 27 (3) of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission Act 2008.”

Though Igbinedion walked away a free man, the international community was not amused; and on January 12, 2013, the United States Government effectively barred him from entering its territory henceforth.

Concerned Nigerians cannot forget the sentencing of the former Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the now defunct Oceanic Bank, Mrs. Cecilia Ibru, who, alongside three other senior banking executives, was involved in a multibillion-dollar banking scandal.

While investors and depositors groaned in agony, Mrs. Ibru acquired properties all over the world, from Nigeria to Dubai, using their money.

She denied the charges. And, although sentenced on October 8, 2010 on a 25-count fraud case and ordered to refund N1.29bn, she spent her six-month jail term in a high-end hospital located in a swanky area of Lagos.

This is mockery of justice, when compared with the 150-year-jail term currently being served by Bernard Lawrence Madoff, American former businessman, stockbroker, investment advisor and financier who pleaded guilty to 11 federal felonies and admitted to turning his wealth management business into a massive Ponzi scheme – which defrauded thousands of investors of billions of dollars.

Time will fail us to talk about ex-governors James Onanefe Ibori and Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, who the Nigerian judicial system literally handled with kid gloves.

But then, what sort of judiciary is Nigeria’s? How come the principle of plea bargain has become a dirty tool in the hands of highly placed criminals, while disadvantaged citizens suffer the full weight of the law when they commit misdemeanours?

According to the legal dictionary, “a plea bargain is an agreement in a criminal case between the prosecutor and defendant, whereby the defendant agrees to plead guilty to a particular charge in return for some concession from the prosecutor. This may mean that the defendant will plead guilty to a less serious charge or to one of several charges, in return for the dismissal of other charges; or it may mean that the defendant will plead guilty to the original criminal charge in return for a more lenient sentence.”

While this system prevents a lengthy criminal trial, a situation whereby a criminal defendant undergoing felony theft charge is offered the opportunity to plead guilty to a misdemeanour theft charge is unhealthy for any justice system, as it sends wrong signals that it is profitable to steal.

Essentially, the process is unfair to the society where criminal defendants are involved, as in the case of these public figures, as its close relationship with rewards, threats and coercion potentially endangers the correct legal outcome.

Indeed, this tactic is prohibited in a country like the United Kingdom, where the prosecutor’s code states inter alia:

“Prosecutors should never go ahead with more charges than are necessary just to encourage a defendant to plead guilty to a few. In the same way, they should never go ahead with a more serious charge just to encourage a defendant to plead guilty to a less serious one.”

In complex cases such as major fraud trials like the ones under review, the overriding duty of the prosecutor is to see that justice is done. But in the Nigerian case, this is doubtful. So far, plea bargain has tainted the image of the Nigerian judiciary, as justice now seems to be for the highest bidder.

Just last Wednesday, an Abeokuta Magistrate Court sentenced a 49-year-old man, Mustapha Adeshina, to two-year imprisonment for stealing vegetables worth N5,000, with an option of N10,000 fine.

The nation cannot forget in a hurry the amputation of the right hand of Mallam Buba Bello Kure Jangedi – for stealing a cow. He was convicted under the Sharia law in 2000 by the administration of Zamfara State ex-governor (now senator) Ahmed Sani, who had been accused of fund misappropriation but who currently enjoys immunity as a public office holder.

The FCT High Court judge should uphold the plea of the EFCC counsel, Mr. Rotimi Jacobs (SAN), that Yusuf be convicted and sentenced as appropriate. Only then can the image of the judiciary be redeemed from what has come to be seen as a ‘Justice For Sale’ syndrome.

As much as i was not satisfied with the playerspeformance yesterday (which i feel they did on purpose), we should avoid calling them useless and other names cos they are humans and playing football is not as easy as running commentaries with our mouth. The coach knows why he chose them. Just don't watch Nigeria matches with all your heart and of course expect little or nothing.

Account NUmber: 3065865267
BAnk: First BAnk Nigeria PLC.

On enquiry at the bank i confirmed that the account name and number are correct but they said since my own personal account ( i dont have with first bank though) has not been tampered with i should not worry (can you imagine someone using your bank to defraud others and you are keeping quiet).

Please if you receive such emails, ignore it. Those who are close to First BAnk should take note oh.
How can i take this case up?

All of you praising David Mark have forgotten that he is the father of careless talks. Someone who said that mobile phone is not meant for the poor when he was minister of communications in the late 80s and early 90s; Someone who said that a private in the Nigerian Army is better than a Uniersity graduate is definitely a careless talker and should be put in the same category as Labaran Maku.In a sane society such people wont be any where close to the senate but this is Nigeria---ANYTHIG GOES!!!!

i have used those injector cleanrs and i observed that they actually cause dirts to settle at the bottom of the tank. Thus if you allow your fuel tank go empty i.e enter reserve and you refill, it mixes with the dirts and cause them to block the injector again and your car might begin to jerk even when you are on the road, it has happened to me several time and i had to wash my tank and the injector which was filled with dirts.

Car Talk › Re: List Of "One Way" Roads In Lagos by bong4(m): 10:45am On Aug 16, 2012
It is only in Nigeria that these type of scenario arises. How can you change roads that people have driven on for years into a one way road and expext them to adjust immediately with no sign to that effect. That is rubbish. If there is no visible sign at the entrance of the roads and i enter there, i have committed no crime. While i am a fan of Fashola (He being the only leader we have in Nigeria as others are only occupying leadership positions), let him behave appropriately by putting up the signs.

There is no problem with the benz. Go with a good mechanic and let him attest for you. I use a benz 190 and i have really enjoyed it especially its ruggedness, balance and speed. Its fuel consumption may be relatively higher than japanese cars but thn the C-Class and other newer models have better fuel economy thAN THE OLDER BENZ. Besides maintainance is very cheap

If na to attack church they will not miss but if it is a mosque, it will be "nearly", "exploded before", "emir escape". You people should just tell us that is now a religious war....nonsense.

All these happenings in a country that is still grappling with under development and hunger. A country of ONE WEEK, ONE TROUBLE. Now we are all complaining but when Pastor Bakare talks we castigate him. This government and the nation in entirety is a failed state. Mark my words, we are yet to see more.
