c0llynz02: So what you are saying in essence is that APC should field a man who has completely lost touch with the present world just to please the northerners?

Since u luv some1 that is in touch with the current world why are u complaining abt jonathan? Is his corrupt administration not 'in touch' with the current hopeless reality?

OsunOriginal: Stop comparing Buhari's personal comment with GEJ's signed agreement with other players. Buhari's comment was his personal opinion after the disappointment that greeted the 2011 election and merger arrangement. He didn't sign any agreement with anybody that he would not contest against.

A personal opinion can be changed by a superior argument - this is what happened. Patriotic Nigerians are the ones asking Buhari to change his mind and since his involvement in politics is for the people, why will he say no to their wish?

Gej had an agreement with his co-travellers in PDP but he doesn't want to honour the agreement. This shows he lacks integrity and he is unreliable to have breached an agreement.

We need Buhari - Buhari must contest again.

Good bless u, BUT AM sure the yeye op that post this jargon is enjoying the ccurrent fresh air from retardeen

In america acting is a very professional career, u dont go into acting there because u couldnt get a job. And actors there are very real with respect to the roles they act. Have you read about the IQ of kate winslet? Which got her the role in the movie 'THE READER?`. Are u aware that hugh jackman has been at the gym for 1yr now preparing for the next installment of x-men? So u see these guys become so good at the preparation they wow the audience. So over there the actors are good both on screen and on ground. Here its the opposite, a gunman on screen is obviously not an gunman. A secondary sch student role often times is acted by over 40yrs old actors. Dont ever compare hollywood actors with these ones here abeg

This is to pay tribute to all the clowns here who think our problem is caused by the west. They remind me of general abacha who was clearly the most antagonised president to the west, yet he stole this country blind along with his entire family even his daughter zainab. Yet today some more clowns say abacha was a great leader becos dollar was steady under him. Dear clowns we are our problem, not whites, not arabs. I heard someone mention walter rodney and his yeye book - how europe ...africa. recent events have long debunked rodney my brother. Do you know how many looters have walked free under the current administration? Are u aware that stella oduah will not be sacked? Infact she will get an MON soon, so fifty years down the line and all the negative effects of these looting begins to show then u blame the uk? Ask anybody on this thread working in a foreign donor-funded NGO whether whites are good or bad, or who is more wicked between us and whites? U see anybody that falsely blame others for his misfortunes hardly progresses

Its okay,as far as she can get others to sign on to her hopeless act then later they will ask for legislature to accept their union with inanimate object as marriage which should be at par with what exists between a man and a woman. Finally America with their growing stupidity and the UK will tie their foreign aid to countries where such hopeless acts are made law. Infact the next one i expect is between man and dog, horse, fowl, goat, etc. And you know what? David Cameron will give a man and a horse the right to adopt a human baby they cannot produce!

Typical akwa ibom people superstition, i have never met any akwa ibomite that did not believe that witches are after them. An akwa ibom boy am assisting have always felt i could be after his destiny, if i dashed him a shirt he will throw it away, i even bought him a shoe from south africa when i travelled there he never wore it. Funny enough i have never locked a door, a bag or any container in my house which he stays in my absence whenever i travel. If u have a new akwa ibom neighbor and u mistakenly send xmas food or gift unsolicited, then u finished.. They are very queer people

Djtm: lol thanks. I actually decided to take a break and check nair

aland. Chatting with someone from the other end of the intelligence scale was fun that I spent extra time enjoying it. I think I will go back to my work now.

Pls do, am sure his mother called him logica in order to motivate him to get logic, unfortunately the boy cant shake off his father's dumb genes . Gud nite jor

Djtm: I don't need any lecture concerning malware and scams. Just answer my question or do you need me to post it again?

Please stop talking to that asshole, i now see why 5megabyt said he was re-writing jamb, he has no answers. How someone's history is what determines his future beats me as a logic, the boy is a hopeless lot. Pls catch some sleep dytm, dont waste your time on this kindergarten professor

logica: LMAO, this dolt is gonna educate me about malware. OK, go ahead with the lecture.

I have read through all the crap on this site, your's stands out as the dumbest and most arrogant of them all. In one sentence - shut up

Adm. Yamamoto:
Nigerians still don't get it or are SIMPLY INSANE! How come they don't know that even if ALL THE RAINS IN THE WORLD fall into a BASKET, it will all be a WASTE? This is the problem of CORRUPTION! All the institutions that can fight and stamp out corruption, so that all the efforts of Nigerians and any economic progress is not wasted has been effectively killed. A GEJ that was once in EFCC net CAN NEVER fight corruption because he lacks the moral high ground! Can a GEJ look IBB or AbdulSalami or OBJ in the eye? Can he look Apabio in the eye or Uduaghan or Anenih?? It doesn't matter how many trains, rail tracks, ships, roads, trillions of dollars to fight BH or SURE-P, etc are spent or budgetted, it WILL ALL BE LOST sooner than later! Why? Corruption! The countries and systems that are progressing today have locked down corruption or fight it aggressively everyday! You know if you steal some money or behave in any abusive way towards your office, you will end up in prison, it's just a matter of time! You can run from US to Canada or Europe, they will eventually arrest you and deliver you back to the US anyway! This is why their progress is almost irreversible!

Nigeria made progress in 2003 - 2007, today we are back in debt, high unemployment, no power, no water, no security after TRILLIONS of naira in budget. Why? Waste by corruption! You can root for GEJ or your tribesman, he will get there steal you blind but you and your children will be the one suffering! Even if you partake of the stealing and contracts, what will happen to your brothers, cousins, nieces, etc? If you leave Nigeria, will not people in your family suffer hardship? Nigerians need to wake-up! Where I live, I can say honestly you don't need ANYONE to live financially, even with MINIMUM WAGE. Think about that! Now, there is no way an average Nigerian, educated like we do so much, work so hard, apply to all kinds of jobs, start a business will EVER have to live on MINIMUM WAGE! You and practically everyone in your family who get an education and work hard will have enough for themselves! Your children from 16 - 18 can in fact almost take care of their basic needs without your intervention! At 60 - 65, you are retired, have a decent pension that can take care of you if YOU decide NEVER to work again until you are kick the bucket. NOTE, this is just the average JOE, not millionaire, not politician just an engineer, doctor, scientist, artist, teacher, of which MOST working class Nigerians already are! Kill corruption, stamp it out!

Vote someone like Buhari who can stand on the moral high ground and say everyone in his government, cabinet must declare their assets! If you can't LEAVE my cabinet! No godfather or minister or secret GF to blackmail him. Nigeria needs to breed a new generation of honest leaders which will only happen by example. GEJ can never set such example because he is corrupt and a thief! This is the truth Nigerians!

May God bless you sir wherever you live

The assessment is typical of any analysis done by nigerian govt officials - it always misses the mark, now is illiteracy only found among non-schoolers? what of the rising illiteracy among those that went to the university? I graduate who has been drinking all his life gets liver problem later in life then he turns around and blames it in his step-mother's alleged sorcery? or is it the graduate that says his faith allows him to marry a 13yr old? or the one that feels population control is a none issue? or how do you explain how someone that cant speak passable english get appointed as a permanent secretary in bayelsa state? or is it the illiteracy that says you have no life because you are not married? Nigeria is the only country where illiterates laugh at those that are actually educated

useless article, why not go to SA and see for yourself if we can match what they have in 50yrs of hard labor? my brothers economy is more than the volume of sales o, its just like the way people ignorantly compare china to america because china is selling more second-hand goods, the value of an economy ultimately comes to the quality of life enjoyed by its citizens. The infrastructure in South Africa will take Nigeria nothing LESS THAN 50 SERIOUS YEARS WITH HARD LABOR AND NO SINGLE CORRUPTION TO BUILD. South Africa has more than 25 cities that can measure with any european city, Nigeria has only Abuja and it is even been hurriedly underdeveloped by all the ignorant FCT ministers that came after El Rufai (first position to Aliero and then Bala). Lagos is a dilapidated old city though fashola is trying, besides this, every other thing are shambles shambles shambles. Starting with Kano it is the biggest dust bin i have ever seen, Port Harcourt is nothing chaos, Ibadan old, dirty and unassuming.

Given the average attitude of most blacks, we cant build or maintain cities, even the cities in SA were built and are been maintained by whites and their policies, i live in an estate where people that went to the university dump their dirt in the gutters so that the rain can wash away - they dont understand where it washes it to and it dosent bother them. I was driving along the airport road one day in abuja and a very clean-looking woman riding in a clean 2000 toyota camry threw away a complete weave-on in a leather bag unto the highway and nobody turned a face!
Nigeria might get better but please lets not overlook the enormous work and responsibility ahead

Op good and worthy observation, wondered why it stayed this long myself. By removing only these poles I believe a significant facelift will be achieved. Please MOD send this to FP so that relevant people can see it

As much as i believe that hamza has the credentials and i have nothing against him, this is still another advent of a muslim handing over to the next muslim. After funsho williams was killed for being a christian the muslims now hold the Lagos mantle of power forever. Am waiting for those that shout that Lagos politics is beyond religion!

Our suffering as a nation continues as long as we continue to vote in;
1. Those who failed waec
2. Those that only know how to 'relate' very well with others even if they are obviously clueless
3. Those that have no shoes because of sentiment
4. Those we think we can control

The national assembly is the single largest collection of clueless people-in-power after the civil service.

50calibre: South Africa again! What's the problem with these people? I'm beginning to loathe these guys.

It appears they haven't learn anything from Mandela, very sad for his legacy.

Nigeria needs to start being hostile to South Africans, if possible, start attacking their interests in Nigeria. MTN would be a good start.

But I have never met a south african selling drugs here, never met one here robbing people, never met any into organized crime, so why should we attack them in nigeria? Ibos are the reason why we are hated in SA, malaysia, Ghana, and recently Kenya. Funny enough Ibos keep deceiving themselves (including educated ones) that people 'just' hate them for no reason! How lopsided a thinking!

The governors are becoming too powerful, after OBJ every other president we have had are governors, so why? Its enough that these Govs are like demi-gods in their state so why can't we rest becos of them even at the national level? I blame our useless constitution

Codedrock: Life imprisonment will be beta..

I wish armed robbers will slaughter your father or relative then get life imprisonment and live on your tax contribution for the rest of his life. To even make it better, he could get a parole in old age and become your neighbor. So u think amnesty know jerk about anything? They are moronns and that's why u hear all manner of useless things going on in america. I like and respect some western values but on justice they are full of crap

It won't work, how long is it going to take africans to know we can't pass where europe has failed? How long? Come to abuja and see how the ecowas secretariat is run then u understand why they west africans can't sustain WAMI. Do a contract in ecowas and see how long it takes to get paid! Yeye africans

Cele-pope:
Am happy that in a country that Nigerians are so despised somebody from the same Nigeria can still be mobbed by a loving and cheering crowd.That is to say Nigerians in SA still have hope irrespective of the bad name some few slack heads are giving to us there.May God continue to bless the good Nigerians outside the shores of the country working hard to build a good reputation for our beloved nation and earn legitimate means of livelihood

Point of correction - it is not people giving us a bad name, it is us giving us a bad name.

Jakumo: Dual engine failure does indeed mean BOTH engines "flamed out", or stopped running, as the aircraft descended through 5 thousand feet, about a mile above ground. Aircraft of the MD80 family are notorious for being overly sensitive to excessive throttle inputs, such as "fire-walling" the levers to full 95% N1 throttle power so much as a moment too early during takeoff, which could EASILY trigger dual compressor stall and engine failure at dangerously low altitudes. Compounding that flaw, the tail-heavy nature of all jets with tail-mounted engines greatly reduces their un-powered glide capabilities, and they will drop like a brick from the sky at airspeeds still capable of keeping aloft jets with wing-mounted engines.

In the catastrophic instance of simultaneous left and right engine failures , the jet becomes an un-powered glider, that can ONLY then make a safe landing IF the airport runway lies within range of the very steep descent path that will be taken by the pilot, so as to maintain airspeed and prevent a stall. If the destination airport lies BEYOND the distance that the un-powered jet can glide, there will be a crash at some point before the runway threshold, the severity of which will vary with the terrain encountered, the speed at impact, and the attitude of the aircraft at impact.

Thank u sir for this highly analytical and educative piece, I have little knowledge of aviation but have never liked tail-mounted planes, infact raised the matter in my office after the first and only time I used dana, been a student of physics I have always suspected that the tail wud be the wrong point to mount engines given the length of a commercial jet, its like trying to pick a very long pole from just one end-just kind of wrong to me. Also my only flight on dana, the noisse from the engine was too loud and obviously over-labored. Thank u

tbaba1234: The first thing to say is that in islam, there is no compulsion in religion, The Quran(translated) states:

Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error: whoever rejects evil and believes in Allah hath grasped the most trustworthy hand-hold, that never breaks. And Allah heareth and knoweth all things. (Quran 2:256)

However in an[i] Islamic state[/i], there are certain conditions where conversion is accompanied with acts that could be considered treasonable by the state. The punishment for treason is death.

The act of just conversion is not punishable in most cases, however if that conversion is accompanied by an attempt to discredit Islam or propagate another religion within the islamic state, It is considered treasonable.

The apostacy law came about during the time of the prophet;

In order to discredit Islam, some Jews in medina would accept islam in the day and leave by sunset; They continued to do so until the law was put in place.

Guess how many people did so the next day? None,

Look at the apostacy law this way;

Acts against the nation are considered treason aren't they? what is punishment for treason in 9ja?

The constitution of an Islamic state is based on Islam; If i live in the state, i abide by its laws;

If someone leaves Islam in an Islamic state for whatever reason, as long as he doesn't go around opening trying to convert people to whatever belief/unbelief he has found thereby trying to discredit the constitution of the state. He is fine. Otherwise, It is treasonable.

He can live his life, he doesn't have to pray or fast if he doesn't want to..

Besides, the person is not just executed, he speaks to the scholars about his doubts and is provided evidences about the divinity of the Quran so as to convince him, if that fails, he is threatened basically to shut him up from proselytizing disbelief in an Islamic state. If he relents, he is let go and can continue in his disbelief and live his normal life.

I was hoping u wud even shy from lying so openly, so when u convert from islam to any other religion you are allowed to walk away? In which state in northern nigeria is this true? Why do muslims lie so much? But why? Please ask yourself if you still have a religion if u must lie almost all the time to defend it? Look. At one of u who has been unsuccessful in. Naming a CURRENT and KNOWN christian terrorist organization, the guy has shamelessly gone through all manner of history books since he cannot find any current christian terror group to mention. Islam is fighting hindus in asia, fighting christians in africa, fighting everybody, why? Can the whole world just hate only you maybe because of your fancy gold teeth? Am a traditionalist and have no time for foreign religions and islam is by far the most violent among them

tbaba1234: Even heard of the 'Army of God'?? Army of God (AOG) is a Christian terrorist anti-abortion organization.

It is terrorist group that blows up abortion clinics. Groups like that think they are fighting for christian ideals.

Probably the first time, you have heard of it..

Well.. Point made!

Read more on anti-abortion violence

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-abortion_violence#Violence_by_Army_of_God

Any other army bent on other aspects u know? So they bomb only the abortion clinics? Why are they not doing hospitals, airplanes (since doctors travel in them), embassies of countries where abortion are legalissed? Am ashamed u cud even tell the truth. My friend go and get another religion!

tbaba1234: A week before the Boston bombing, a ukranian rutgers student was caught with IEDs in New york. No one heard anything about it. It only came out after the boston incident.

If he was a muslim, it will be all over the news.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2315007/Ukrainian-Rutgers-student-arrested-taking-IEDs-New-York-just-week-Boston-Marathon-bombing.html

Based on the kind of media coverage, who would think that 88% of all terrorist attacks since 1995 were actually carried out by non muslims. http://thinkprogress.org/security/2012/04/19/467384/chart-right-wing-extremism-terror-threat-oklahoma-city/?mobile=nc

Even at that, most of the 'terror plots' are actually entrapment. They send their agents to the mosques. Most mosques in the US are bugged. They get a naive kid, wind him up about Jihad and all, help him set up a terror plot and then catch him.

This kid would never have thought of this kind of plot on his own and he probably didn't have good Islamic knowledge to begin with..

If a 'brother' comes to you and start talking about fighting and Jihad etc in the US, he is probably working for the FBI. Now if you try to explain the correct understanding to him and he decides to excuse himself from that discussion, you have your mole .

There has been cases where the FBI mole was actually reported to the FBI by the muslim community.

http://ca.cair.com/losangeles/news/calif._mosque_mole_erodes_trust_between_muslims_fbi

The simple reason why islam and terrorism are linked is because muslims kill in the name of their god, no other popular religion does that. No christian no matter how twisted can say 'I shoot and kill u in Jesus name', none can do that because Jesus can neva understand with that person, Jesus said 'love your enemies'. So please try to talk intelligently. A gunman went berserk and shot ssome people and his name is john, yeah that has happened often times but he did not do it claiming victory for Jesus Christ. You muslims kill and claim victory for ur allah, and funny enough u people don't see why the world accepts u pple as violent? Even a kinergarten pupil shud understand it. U are lucky because of the new rules in nairaland otherwise u wud have chopped ur ny.....sh by now

JaaizTech: I would be really stunned if this turns out to be true. That would be a total disrespect to Muslims. Islam shouldn't be looked at from the point of view of Christianity. Mode of dressing is a core part of Islamic belief; a matured girl dressing without her Hijab, is sinning from the Islamic perspective. This is the Islamic belief it doesn't need to be agreed upon by any other belief.

Forcing Muslims to abandon their religious teachings in a public school is a gross violation of their rights by any standards. This should be resisted by every good means possible; we all should be sincere and fair in our minds, I wonder if all those applauding this decision would feel the same way if schools in Kano were to force all students to put on Hijab as part of their School uniforms.

Retarded thinking always, so if my own religion prescribes that i wear a charm always around my neck so am permitted to wear it to school? So a uniform is a Christian thing? Funny enough i know u might be a graduate but see how u think because of the retarded religion that is setting the world on fire? To be honest with you, you should be ashamed of yourself

Muslims are always out for trouble, they can't just see why others cannot accept their religion as the only possible way of life. I predict that this is probably the beginning of unrest in the south. Islam is now the biggest problem of the world

May the God that fights for all the souls of the innocent brutally murdered by abacha and IBB punish the OP and all his generation for this wworthless statement

El Rufai stated his points clearly and in his characteristic manner that dosent beg for support. The major difference between El Rufai and other office holders - infact Elderly folks in Nija, is that he tells the truth whether it helps or hurts him. He mentioned when Atiku did well and where he was wrong! This is a very very very very scarce attitude in a sychophant society like Nigeria. El Rufai like him or hate him does not care, he will not be stopped from telling what he sees as the truth. El Rufai demolished the house I lived in at kuchingoro but he still remains the best FCT minister there ever was in my opinion and that of any honest assessment. Most of the people that talk crap about him here are the numerous teenagers that have beseiged nairaland and sadly seun has no idea of how to deal with them.
Soludo is clearly the fraud and El Rufai does not even need to say it. Everything Rufai said about Soludo is shamelessly true, Soludo should come and tell the public if he was not collecting N500m from the Banks monthly to take to Turai as lobbying gift. Am personally disappointed that Soludo could fall this low, I mean after messing up it is just graceful to shut up which he is not doing.

andyanders: too bad. Kogi men are heartless.A lady is passing through same problem now and the guy is from Kogi state and is threatening the lady that she should not try to leave him, unless she wants to die.
The guy is Always drunk

The only violent people in kogi are the egbiras and most likely the person u talking about is one. Even this wife killer is egbira

salt 1: Do you have a Bible downloaded on ur phone? Go to search and type Hell. Can you see that I didn't invent the word, so no point ur saying my so-called hell.
That you don't believe in a thing doesn't make it less real. Some folks don't still agree that AIDS is real until....
I preach and teach that there is eternal heaven and hell. I am not fake, I am not a pastor and I am not after your money. Keep the money to urself. I am just delivering a message: warn you that there is hell!

U r rily dumb, so all the enlightened discoveries that have come out after ur hell theory does not help ur unstanding in anyway? So u haven't figured? We are already in hell my dear! Our part of hell is called NIGERIA! So there is no need going to another one!
