i wonder why some people still want atiku to run. politics or not, the fact that his boss could not trust him is enough danger signal. I watched one of his campains where he referred to obasanjo's government (a government he was part of for 8 years)as a failure. that was an error of the highest order. Why would he want to rule us for another 8 years, Is he trying to finish this country up abi dem send am? He should Just respect himself and follow his partner in crime. Lets us have a fill of new personality and integrity. I think I am ok with Pat Utomi, Buhari or even Yaradua. But not Atiku

I am  not a catholic but I know from history that the catholic churchwas the first. It was the first church that others broke out from. Our problem is that we keep preaching churches the real question should be personal" Am I a christian?" Nothing is wrong with the catholic church, they call God and they testify to his goodness too.

I saw this in one of the papers- "Soyinka joins the presidential race". Is it true and peradventure it is what do you think?

I am not a catholic but I have the answer to you question. The answer is very simple, the prophesy indicated that the messiah will come from the house of the DAVID. Mary happened to be the wife to be of the Jesus' link which was Joseph. The reason why mary was chosen was simply because she was a virgin and more importantly because she was with Joseph. Joseph was the one that came from the house of david.

What is wrong with mtn. Why can't they learn from other networks, they should at least bench marck others scratch cards to improve on theirs.It is so terrible that out of every 5 you scratch you are likely to scratch the pin numbers too. multilinks is a perfect example of what a cratch card should be like.

Yes, you are right about the possibility of the harckers beign involved. Two of this guys confirmed that they noticed it started opening a link that was sent to them through yahoo messenger from known friends. Just yesterday I received an off line message from one of those guys instructing me to view a link, it reads thus, new music updated www.yahoo.music (please dont go to this link). I was only lucky to have known what was happening earlier which prevented me from checking the link, that easy, just a click. what baffled me most was the fact that the message came from the address of one of those guys that was unable to open his mail. He was surprised too and he said I was the second person recieving an offline message from his address since his inability to use his account.
[b]Quote[/b]Have the affected people contacted yahoo to complain

I thought about this too and I have searched for possible links to yahoo all to no avail.

Is anyone going through this same occurence, just this last week two weeks, 5 people that I know are unable to log in to their yahoo mail. What could be happening, their password no longer matches.

It is so clear now that one of the surest way to commit siucide is to go out and say anthing about islam. God is LOVE and not HATE

Big B :Lucida Sans Unicode]You should also simplify your thought or comment by identifying what to look for, strategy that needs to be implemented to improve poverty and unemployment in Nigeria.

Let's keep it real:

Bad leaders = Bad economy = Diluted degrees = Unemployment = Poverty = Bad leaders = Bad economy = diluted degrees = unemployment = Poverty, and on and on in a circle. e post


If you go through the post again you will see the strategy you talked about. There are a lot of issues to be addressed in this counrty and they can not all be addressed at once. You will be surprised at what the right leader can achieve in solving some major problems. We all know most leaders in this country are voted out of sentiments and not on what they carry or can achieve, This is just one of the areas from where we can begin the war on unemployment, we need to vote and vote the right candidate not because he or she is from our locality, not because of what we will be given by voting them, but for the fact that they can deliver.

sijien:You are right it is a global problem, but that fact does not make it a good thing and the very more reason why we have to address our own side of global inconveniencies. Some countries are far better off and those are the examples to we need to be looking at. We dont have to wait till we are at the top of the chat before we start acting.

The staggering figures behind the rate of poverty and unemployment in Nigeria

5.66milion Nigerian graduates or 5.66% of the total population are roaming about unemployed.
The figure could hit 10 million by the year 2002(which obviously is the case today)
As at January 2000, 18.8% of Nigerians were unemployed according to the statistics released by the Nigerian manpower Board.
That the following holds true for the 8 main metropolitan (Lagos, Ibadan, Kano, PortHacourt, Abuja, Aba, Jos, Maiduguri):
OND holders topped the list of unemployed people.
Secondary school leavers-53.9% of total jobless population.
University degree holders-21.2%,
HND holders-21.3%
University Postgraduate Diploma- 18.9%
The colleges of education, NCE awardees- 18.9%
That only about 3 million people out of estimated 22 million in the school system enters the labour market annually.
The labour market can hardly absorb 10% of the entire school output.
That according to CBN annual report for 1998, out of 81,239 unemployed lower grade workers made up of youths who registered with employment exchange offices across the country, only 3,323 applicants were offered jobs.
The case study witnessed by the minister of Labour, employment and productivity is more significant when a vacant advertisement was put out in his office. This is what he said: “In my office 7,500 persons applied for a vacant advert needing 20 people. All the 7,500 workers were qualified”.
As released by the federal office of statistics and published in various editions of CBN report:
In 1993- composite unemployment was 3.4%
In 1994- It moved down to 2.7%
1n 1995-It was 1.8%
In 1996- Worsened to 3.4%
In 1997- Out of 3,694 vacancies advertised for professional and executive jobs only 70 were actually filled.
The ratio of places to total regular unemployed- 0.2%
The crux of the matter remains the 18.8 million or 18.8 unemployed youths roaming about as the figure is increasing on daily basis.

[b]Election 2007: It is high time the citizens of this country took the future of our country, and generations yet unborn very serious. The above statistics is to help us to understand some of the qualities and the vision which whoever is going to become a public position holder in this country must posses. As long as a higher % of the youths and the middle class of this nation remain jobless, then the state of this potentially blessed nation will continue to deteriorate and the future Jeopardised. Please let us stop believing our votes don’t count, let us stop voting for personal interests, lets us stop all tribal voting, let us stop selling the future of this country by selling our votes. Let us vote credible people that have visions and what it takes to address the major problems of this nation. Let us vote people that we know are ready to serve and not people that are ready to oppress, dictate and embezzle. Yes we have lots of presidential candidates for the coming election but a very few of them know what it it takes to serve.
Make sure you vote and Vote for servant leaders.
The future of this country is in your hand.

Hi all, was just wondering what business can 200,000 naira start, I guess this will be helpfull for a lot of people that have some money but dont know what to do with it

Very soon an OBJ clone will be planted in Aso rock for the next president. And what people don't understand is the fact that 3rd term is still alive
Big b , the truth is that I would pefer an Obasanjo or his clone or even worst than to be the president come 2007 than allow the angel of IBB. We forget things too soon, if anyone suppots Ibb, its either he/she was so young when Ibb ruled or may be not in the country then, or was in the prison or just irrational. Even Abacha as devlish as he was was better than Ibb, he was only stupid. IBB will not only fail to rule again, he will also pay for his sins.

everyone of these cult groups is evil and bad. Ogboni is a well known Yoruba cult group. They get rich for real but at a very high cost. As high as paying with the most loved member of their immediate family. Most of their family members get to knowafter their death, and that is when the members come to claim the body of their departed member. they take responsibility of burying their members after ripping their hearts off to do whatever with. ther is no cult group that is worth joining. why wold anyone choose to join a group like that? There is no answer to any question else where than in christ.

I definately will not.
If you sleep with your boss to get a job, then you should be ready to keep that job by continually sleeping with him at his demand. lets call a spade a spade, what is bad is bad.

hey,thats is no love, You better run as fast as you can, you are playing with fire.
