@HAJIFATY

HAHA you r back from ?

NO he's not yet back. He's still in the paradise of Shanghai.

[quote author=must_a_far link=topic=219011.msg3340619#msg3340619 date=1231961039]Hajia, that would be IMPOSSICANT! it would cost too mush money so we would rather just add the money for such projects to that which they want to steal.[/quote]Why are you complaining now. Make them dey watch us. It's not right for us to watch them (well we are not even allowed) to watch them. At least they are our leaders. They have no reason to explain their own actions do they?

@BOSS
Na Paradise we dey ooo at the right hand of our lord

Hahaha, you're back. You should go to the thread asking what's the capital of heaven as well you know. I'll like to know your opinion.

lagbaja:
The cameras are solar powered i guess

I just cannot hold back, Is that because they can never be PHCN powered?

mikeansy:
I think at this point we should give up the fight against corruption and start by defining what really is corruption
How does a Nation fight corruption when they dont know what it means?

Exactly, I feel Nigeria needs to start and get a text book on corruption and start from _introduction page 1.

Kobojunkie:
hhhmmm, pray tell why? Worried you will be labelled if you voice your opinion?? lol

Exactly, I don't want to be crucified as a prophet of doom by stating what I consider is a honest opinion (not that I'm predicting failure though).

***still trying to reserve my comment until later***

olanajim:
I didn't read this thread before. Well, if Nigeria is capital of hell, remember everyone posting here is either from Hell or living in hell!

With a thinking like this, it is no wonder why Nigeria don't work. Thank God I am a Nigerian!

Are you concluding then and saying, thank God you're a Hellerian?

Jakoko:
Debosky - You are perfectly within your right to doubt the credibility of Sahara Reports or even CNN. The issue you are confronted with here is as simple as this, this attachment by a British Press Gazette
http://www.pressgazette.co.uk/story.asp?sectioncode=1&storycode=38629 has said that Saharareporters did not report that Yar'adua had died as you posited severally in your blatant lies against the medium. It is your credibility that is at stake here. Every other explanation about why you don't think the earth is round is immaterial to this. To prove this wrong you ought to be able to provide evidence that SR did actually report that Yar'dy was dead, since this publication attributed that piece of news to Elendureports.. Even if they are revamping their site, you can find Google cache of popular stories such as this by doing a google search. I am still waiting , very patiently and selectively for this piece of evidence from you. Don't get upset please, do your home work, perhaps mother luck would smile on you.

Now Debosky is being pushed to the wall.

@ Debosky, kuku accept that that one no be fact now and let's move on.

hehehe

Why does everybody want to finish felifeli now, at least he has said it's a bit of exxageratio.

@ felifeli
You're lucky that Hajifary didn't see your comment.

[quote author=Xavier. link=topic=219015.msg3339866#msg3339866 date=1231951262]I think it is Gaza strip.[/quote]Not sure I can concur,

But on the other note, I'm surprised that you,Olanajim and earTHMama didn't post on that thread, the funniest thread I've ever seen on Nairaland.

texazzpete:
I never said he was the one to abate corruption in Nigeria. All i'm saying is, right now he seems to be fighting the good fight. Let him keep that up while we all take our positions for the battle against corruption.

1. Most of the evidence provided by Sowore are circumstantial at best and will not make for a compelling case. I for one am not eager for us to throw away our chances of nailing these corrupt bastards by getting it wrong the first time.

God would bless you for that statement and in fact I feel we're actually reading from the same page. 

texazzpete:
Reuben Abati was alllocated land in Abuja, land he applied for. Sowore provided zero evidence that the land was meant as a bribe to Abati.

See http://www.saharareporters.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=382:how-farida-waziri-and-top-nigerian-editors-got-abuja-land-allocations&catid=76:hot-topic&Itemid=205 for evidence.
More so, is this a joke or just a natural jibe at Sahara reporters? From my research, I realised that you took the line from one of the concerned Reuben Abati's defenders that "Abati presumably applied for a plot of land and was allocated same (http://www.saharareporters.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=485:re-reuben-abati-clear-the-air&catid=116:sr-readers-letters&Itemid=393") and also he's not openly come out to confirm nor deny this allegation. Remember when one of those fraudulent scam letters were sent out in his name, he was quick to to dismiss that letter and now he has his reputation in tatters and he's still very quiet about it. (Please read more on this link http://www.nigeriavillagesquare.com/index.php/content/view/11179/55).

texazzpete:
In a way, it's ironic. People complain that Ribadu was mistreated, yet they are quite happy to condemn Reuben Abati because of one man's sly insinuation. Sowore insinuated that Keyamo may have been settled with money and keyamo was forced to make a reply that damned him further in the eyes of Nigerians. What incentive does Reuben Abati have to respond? any response will only add fuel to the fire, and Sowore can keep throwing further dirt on the matter until all but himself are besmirched.

I am not questioning Abati's integrity but could he be trying to cover up some land allocation in Abuja with something as grave as violation of his privacy hence his muteness? I do not know Abati and neither have I met him, but I think that line of thought is ridiculous enough. I personally have nothing to gain but Reuben Abati's silence is deafening.

texazzpete:
Naturally, Nigerians have come to believe that Saharareporters can do no wrong, so Sowore is in an enviable position indeed.
The Only winner in this is Sowore himself. One sentence from him and people are already readying the tar and feathers for both Keyamo and Abati.

I personally am not promoting Sahara to the state of grandeur but I love to seek the truth regardless of the source. If your conviction is that I'm just blind to the truth then I'll suggest you think again (maybe I'm just very easy to please). However, I suppose you shouldn't be surprised by the ease of gaining trusts because Nigerians (especially the ones still struggling to make a living) need equality and this could only be achieved via justice. If Abati fails to respond, then he's no different from the ones he regularly criticise and he's just out there hung out to dry.

texazzpete:
I prefer to see this as Nigerians fighting corruption. If Keyamo is currently battling his way to exposing the fraud in the National Assembly, then let him be that weapon. However, i will not invest in him my complete trust like you guys seem to be doing with Ribadu.

Uh Uh, not at all, I didn't support Ribadu neither did I pledge my support to Keyamo.

texazzpete:
it's not about my method. All the things i wrote were examples of things Nigerians can do. The summary of my piece is simply that Nigerians should join in the fight against corruption at all levels.

It's just the way you came across and it felt too direct especially reading as a third person and that's why I suggested you toned down the attack.

texazzpete:
i'm curious, though. Please explain to me how saying the truth serves to 'rubbish' Ribadu. Take a step back from listing his achievements and decide how much corruption in Nigeria had actually reduced.

This might be what you feel are the truth (what you listed as means of abating corruption) however we cannot all feel the same way especially when the issue is politics. Some guys feel Ribadu deserves the support just as you feel Keyamo deserves your support (am I right) hence my conclusion in saying that you shouldn't impose your opinion on them. The aim of your argument seemed like you were trying to gain victory rather than to progress the discussion.

It's cool if you feel Keyamo deserves your support as the man to abate corruption in Nigeria, that's fine. In actual fact nobody should crucify you for that however these guys pledging their support feel, about Ribadu, the same way you feel about Keyamo.

On a personal opinion, neither Ribadu nor Waziri have pleased the Nigerian populace when it comes to fulfilling our dreams of seeing the back of corruption and to an extent I cannot blindly support Keyamo seeing the hard core evidene provided by Sahara Reporters when it comes to allegations against our politicians. I thought I could trust an activist, but seeing the ever vocal Reuben Abati yet to respond to the allegations of receiving land plots in Abuja as a bribe from the same people he's criticising, my brain has woken and now I have to think twice before thinking of trusting any Nigerian activist,politician or whoever, not even Ribadu.

The saying, once beaten twice shy, comes to mind.

I'm not sure if this is related but are you guys aware that Nigerian pupils received laptops as US aids but instead they used them in browsing porn?

Ndipe:
Ridiculous. Is the writer trying to come off as sarcastic, or are they well-intentioned? If so, let him move to some of these war torn countries to witness first hand experience on the brutality the citizens have to endure on a daily basis.

Yes the grass seems always greener on the other side, so it seems. But do you really have to taste someone else's crap to know that yours is toxic?

Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) yesterday sealed off a mini estate belonging to Security Properties Development Consortium (SPDC) allegedly linked to Former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Mallam Nasir El-Rufai.

Is there a mini estate and a maxi estate? I never knew that. At least let's hope this is not just a smoke screen, I'm patiently waiting on the outcome of the whole Ribadu-EFCC-El Rufai show business.

felifeli:
As a matter of fact I know several Americans who will be willing to BUY your Nigerian citizenship if it was available for sale. You don't want to be Nigerian anymore ? Bye bye . You don't need to make drama of your personal life decision.

My friend felifeli, I have some customers for you if this is true and in fact they'll pay you double whatever you quote. Come on, I'm not saying this is impossible but that you know - could it be that easy to find?

E easy?

texazzpete:
Sign petitions calling for the recall of corrupt politicians. Forget about the ongoing quarrel with saharareporters and support and encourage keyamo to continue his case against the House exco for the car purchase scam. He still remains the most high profile voice fighting on right now. Excommunicate the Yahoo boys around you, work to ensure people around you do the right thing.

All these will serve to improve Nigeria.

My friend, why this attack?

Who says your method is the only tried and trusted means? Why do we Nigerians have to go your way? Keyamo is not a saint neither is Ribadu so why rubbish one and not the other. This is a democracy and that's why we all have our opinions on whom we think is corrupt and not corrupt. We can not all go to bed facing your side I'm afraid.

Ilelobola:
Sometimes it’s ok to read a thread without posting a comment/reply. It’s not written in the rules but I’m sure it’s been assumed it’s common knowledge. Next time should you have nothing concrete to contribute simply move on to the next thread.

Well said bros. Some people think they could just get on a neutral ground and spit garbage.

debosky:
He's claiming to have 'exposed' many cases - is the 'exposure' of yar'adua's death included as well?
I repeat - Keyamo is not the sworn prosecutor of all wrong in Nigeria, as Sowore claims to be - he is holding his

@ Debosky,
Could you please tell us the source of your claim?

Thanks, we're patiently waiting.

cre8tivity:
what are you talking about?

I trust you to be here, do you have anything against this man? Are you sure your hatred is not turning into an obsession now?

I think he could but he has to take a lot of things into consideration, At this present Nigeria's political climate, he has to fulfil some creterias, some of them involving being blessed by Yar 'Adua (just as OBJ passed on the torch to Yar' Adua), he has to join PDP as they seem to only figure things out for themselves, etcetera etcetera but goodluck to him though.

JJYOU:
you only need your name, bank account no and sort code to do any remitance. uba is ok.

You also need what's called an IBAN number and you could alwayd get that from your branch's customer service. This (IBAN Number) is needed because the money is moving between two countries.

It is true that Soyinka talks too much. But, that is the only weapon at his disposal. Most of us on Nairaland too are guilty of writing talking too much too.

But isn't this the only weapon at our disposal?
