i pity dis country. just read nw dat funsho williams was strangled to death in his study dis morning in lagos. 2007 and its inherent killings has begun. welcome folks to nigerias democracy. corruption,killings et al,

Touchee my broda. u r right but d crux of d mata is , will dey do as me n you believe dey shd? or is efcc proved itself as a really independent body dat is unbiased in carrying out its statutory functions? time will tell.

my broda u can imagine that this is a state that is supposed to not have enough resources to do the basics. He (fayose) was reported to have told obj dat he shd be assisted in building roads by the federal road maintenance agency which baba(wisely) turned down. fayoses reason for the request was dat he did not have d resources from allocation to do dat. you can now c why he doesnt have resources to develope his state, he has reaped the available funds to satisfy his insatiable hunger for agrandisation. you can magnify wat dis petty thief has done to imagine wat ppl like odili,orji kalu,ibori,attah e.t.c have also wrecked within the coffers of there treasury.

nigeria we hail thee!!!!

dats to shw u d true nature of politics in nigeria where party affiliation is nt about idealogy or concrete manifesto but based on where can i achieve my selfish aim of "chopping" money d fastest. he is a political prostitute like so many of his ilk n bear u in mind dat no mata hw many ppl him n his brodas prop up,d person dat will be govnor must be annointed by attah.

A GRAND CAPITAL NO but because nigeria is nigeria u will still c dem masquerading as democrats saying dey r d next best tin since coca-cola.

so nigeria still needs i.b.b,obasanjo,atiku etc? na wah, ohhh!!! 80% of d ppl in dat list shd be facing tribunals for corruption n murder nt standing 4 president. an okotie is nt a tested administrator so i would rather stick my neck out with duke though he has his bad sides but his youth,vision,energy,education and polished personality stands him out from d rest

about d oil for food scandal remeber dat d independent panel of enquiry did nt find d man guilty of any wrongdoing, ohhhh!!! even though there report criticised some ways d u.n. bureaucracy functions but dere was no direct indictment on annan. in as much as d u.s. holds a lot of d aces in d u.n. have it in mind dat dere r still checks and balances as can be seen in d pre-iraq war where only d u.s. n u.k stood for an invasion while d rest favoured dialogue. d action in iraq has further shown d need for dis u.n. because after all said and done,d u.s. still came back seeking a concerted effort for relief n peace-keeping. d need for d u.n. is unquestionable but d enphasis shd be a dilution of regional powers who carry a veto veto vote on d security council and also a reorganisation of d arms of d u.n. to meet d current trends of efficiency,integrity and decisive action.nigeria stands to gain from being a member of d union so i will still maintain dat she stays wit it. annan has tried a lot for africa even though as i said b4 there are places u would expect more but hey!!! d guy is human and he is d sec.gen of d u.n. nt only africa. hes leadership style was positively felt during d tsunami in asia n he is still calling for investigations into d guantanamo bay prisoners of conscience issue. he is his own man and shd be celebrated to an extent by his immediate constituency(africa). even though boutrous ghali was fighting for autonomy wat at d end of d day was his legacy as sec.gen?

i believe d guy has handled a delicate post as good as he possibly can. its nt a kettle of fish u knw, he has stood out as a lone voice of reason in a world filled with war mongers ably led by a bush administration in d u.s. i believe he shd be given credit based on d fact dat he has tried in africa e.g. somalia relief effort(though slow at first) he did his best in niger(during d farmine) he was part of d mediation in zimbabwe,he played a major role in cote de voire(though dat issue hasnt been resolved yet). bear it in mind also dat his jurisdiction is not solely africa but d whole world and as such he must be seen to be d impartial arbiter in united nations activities world-wide

it is a problem dat will remain with us 4 a while yet. i had d previledge of going to ghana dis past wkend n bros wat i saw flabberwhelmed me. u will c evident dat common sense is being applied to everyday infrastructure,administration e.t.c n tins r efficient. frm d airport to accra central n around accra it is d same story ;organised,clean,friendly ppl n environment(no okada by d way). dis made me so sad 4 nigeria becos with all d so-called wealth we cant even provide basic amenities 4 ourselves but look at ghana has electricity 24hrs non-stop. our mentality needs revamping by every standards n i pray soon dis will happen.

@big b
bros leave all dat gist. adenuga made his money frm hob-nobbing with d powers dat be and if u have had course to interact wit him at close quaters u will realise d fact dat he is protecting d  interests of some ppl. and who told u dat someone had to be a military officer b4 he can enjoy largesse during the military years? was arthur eze a military man during abachas time? was wada nas?and so many others. dere r powerful elements who prefer to use neutral ppl to actualise dere business dreams and i suspect dat dis case is related to such. he was arrested has noting to do with him being a smart business man who is being victimised unnecessarily but has everything to do wit d fact dat he is seen by d powers dat be as dining and wining wit d wrong side of d divide.
and by d way guy dis na conversation we dey get nt d civil war, lets excercise some restraint when addressing other members.

@ono,
which hornets nest u dey talk abt? i tell u truth u dey talk hornets nest. im b like sey u no too understand my wordings? anyway shaa,

nnna bros chxta easy, easy, but bros owo nobody sane believes dat d niger-deltans cannot and shd not progress,i believe d resources within d area is not evenly distributed in uplifting d plights of d inhabitants as well but, BUT u guys must realise dat ur leaders must take responsibility to a degree for d wanton deggradation seen now , why? because dey have failed at dere level to alleviate d suffering of dere ppl by providing infrasttructure,upgrading d already infrastructure e.t.c. shd i give u e.gs of hw ur leaders abuse state funds? igbinedion threw a party for his fathers birthday in 2 continents and paralysed d administrative workings of edo state ,odili spent state funds in buying a jet which will nt impact positively on d life of d masses,attah in his first term preferred to offer patronage to cronies in form of contracts which were finally either shoddily done or abandoned,alams tried, oh but at d end of d day he was caught wit his pants down,wearing a bra with a fists full of govt funds he was trying to launder abroad. and d list keeps going on and on. wouldnt d ideal tin be to hold dese leaders accountable to a great degree for misuse of d already laid down resources b4 fighting for d other one?

it is unlikely wit d type of elements we have in politics today dat d best man will win, either way we just have to be optimistic by doing our civic duties in voting for the person our individual conscience tells us is suitable, lets c

dear soul taker if wat is going on in abia is an example we shd hinge on in voting orji 4 president den nna lets wallow where we r. have u really been to d state? wat justification can u muster for d guy? 8 yrs in power with no zilch, den u want to vote him into abj.

nna chxta u knw d history intoto, but maybe na age dey slow nwa guy down.refresh dis guys memory

@Ono
i took time to read through wat u wrote and equally took time in replying. i came to d realisation dat wat u vomitted is a mirror via which to realise d problems d niger-delta is wallowing in. when ppl cant face issues but go down to d level of personal abuse. it rather immature of u and petty to a grand degree dat u would choose to call me a small boy when in reality u dont knw me frm adam. i am really nt angry wit u my broda just sad,sad because u most probably shd be in ur early twenties frm d way u have represented ursef and if at dat tender age u have dis mentality of running away frm stark issues but choose to go into personal assault den wat kind of leaders r d youths supposed to be for d future? pls change ur attitude for good of ur community,state n ur country.
as 4 deepsoul, i choose nt take dignify u wit a reply dat befits ur vituperation but to tell u to reference back to wat i said n read it more carefully dis time wit a discerning mind nt wit emotions.

bros i no knw who be azubuike , ohh!

ol'boy ono which kin ethnic conclave is he servicing with rivers money? d guy is not ibo and if he is i think d blame 4 him governing rivers shd be put at d doorstep of rivers ppl and if u may know south-south governors are d most corrupt in d southern part of nigeria shd we name them? from d iboris of delta,igbinedions of edo or is it attah? of course ur RIVERS broda odili is an oscar winner in dat regard while d rest are nominees.

omo, if na dat one dere r 20 thousand fgce boys dat qualify. one of dem called me d other day frm scotland forming yeye foneee because oyibo babe dey im side .naijaflyer reveal ursef

we shd be bothered cause dere are so many other non-performers masqurading under one sentiment or d other dat want to be president(odili n attah as south-south candidates;yerima as northern version e.t.c) .dey r a dime a dozen of dem everywhere. d nigeria we all need can not come to fruitition under dese ppl
