pro01: We already know that the senseless letter was self-serving and motivated by bitterness. This old fool should emulate the likes of Gowon, Shagari, and Abdulsalam. Why is it so difficult for him to assume the unobstrusive role of a statesman? Must he have an active and participatory role in government and politics? IBB almost single-handedly ensured that he became president in 1999. Did he allow IBB tell him how to run his administration afterwards? Such a disgusting, self-important megalomaniac.

At times I wish Jonathan was as ruthless as I know Yar'Adua was. Yar'Adua would have hounded this old Amala Monkey called Obasanjo into exile by now, no doubt.

suleiman16: President Jonathan Is Our
Mandela ~ Doyin Okupe (on AIT) December 6, 2013

DOYIN OKUPE: > "Nelson Mandela was a great leader, he lived his life for the people of South Africa.

"I check through the history of Nigeria, among our past and present leaders, the only one we call our Mandela here in Nigeria is President Jonathan. There is no any President in Nigeria that has sacrifice 13 hours to discuss with ASUU."

FELLOW NAIRALANDERS, Do you agree with Okupe that GEJ is the equivalent of Mandela here in Nigeria.?

thareta: I don't see no wrong in it. If ur ex is still ur friend, there's no wrong in going to see an ill friend.however why cook for him? On the part of your boyfriend. Its really normal 4 him to get jealous and mayb you've showed him in the past that your still inluv with your ex.

Well said
now you have seen his reaction, u should understand where he is coming from hence, in the future do not do things that you know would gt him worked up. If hiz not comfortable abt ur ex, then itz time to put ur ex at arms length coz your present bf matters more right now. Just explain to him and tell him u won't hurt him that way again.

...Gives FG one-week ultimatum

From PETRUS OBI, Enugu

Labour activist and General Secretary, National Union of Electricity Employees, NUEE, Joe Ajaero has given the Federal Government one week to resolve its differences with the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) or cripple the country with the mother-of-all-strikes.

Ajaero who was speaking during the opening of a training workshop organized for labour leaders in Enugu, threatened to ally with other unions across the country to join ASUU on a solidarity stike if the impasse persists.

He said: "If ASUU issue is not addressed, we will shut this country alongside other unions. We will ally with other unions and make sure that nothing works in this country."

Ajaero said government was being insensitive to the plight of Nigerian students because the children of the rich are studying outside the country.

"This is not a strike based on demand, it's based on agreement. As government, you must honour your agreement. Here, there's no social security, the price of food is high, the same goes for electricity tariff. We are going to join our children to stay at home and let them run the system," he threatened.

The labour leader said that the time has come to bar public office holders form sending their children to schools abroad or travel overseas for free treatment, noting that not until then, will government take the various institutions serious and put things the way they should be.

Ajaero however, reassured electricity workers that the union would ensure that everybody receive their entitlements before the final handover to private investors and urged them to make good and judicious use of the money and not go on spending spree.

"They are playing politics with us but all we have told them is to give us our entitlements and we will handover tomorrow. They said before the end of this week; if we don't see evidence of payment, we won't handover."

According to him, the workshop is to prepare them for better management of the funds through skill acquisitions and entrepreneurial skills and urged them to take the workshop serious.
