@Sealworld,
I note Your bouquette ogf garlands.

We look foward to seeing the mother of them all - From EFCC and ICPC, in due course

^^^^^^^^
MA EYE DON CLEAR, THAT IS WHAT I AM SAYING.
THAT IS WHAT DEMOCRACY IS ALL ABOUT.
YOU ARE FREE TO DECEIVE AND BE DECEIVED.
ITS YOUR CHOICE.

^^^^^^^^^
Because she like am. I bet you she is relishing every moment .
She has always hugged the lime light. She could not resist
the temptation.

And now we know her better.

I am surprised that Nairalanders have not seen through Dora's game.
She chose the right time and as loudly as possible orchestrated her
moves to tally with developments in Aso Rock and just at the right
moment when the pendulum swung in favor of Goodluck, she struck.

Two birds with one stone. Support for the man of the moment and
a ride on the sentiments of Nigerians. Unless something wrong happens
her place is assured and gullible Nigerians will noisily assure that.

@ Ajali,

I could have burnt your sausages if not for your closing statement.

APOLOGY
Dear Me-self,

I am indeed very sorry for the error. I should be addressing the author of your post- Shehu Abubakar.
Please accept my sincere apologies.

@ me self,

First of all , you have taken a very apt pen name and I take it that you know the baggage you are carrying.

I wish to tell you that Soludo did his best and he met a scenario where our brothers were asleep in virtually
all aspects of the economy. There was no saving/enterpreneur spirit formidable enough to establish banks, financial
and manufacturing institutions that could stand the rigours of time and competition. Who do you blame? certainly not
Soludo. Look in the mirror, my friend.

Where are your expired permsec/generals/ministers /group managing directors who have been on the gravy train since
independence. They go the best of everything from our founding fathers and as compensation they are chastising us
with scorpions . Name them - from A to Z. Some even want to die in the boardroom as professional chairmen/board members
and have done duty tours from UAC to wherever to NCC to such funny ones as business round table to NCC or wherever. They
have stolen us blind, attracted odium to a humble, trusting and hardworking people, because of their greed and ineptitude. Their
corruption has not allowed development in the north and we are seeing the consequences - deficits in all spheres of human
endeavour from health to education and commerce.

All Nigerian banks started business as regional banks - even First Bank. It did not start by putting up an office in London. Cut the crap.

You should have researched your theme before going to press. You are making Lamido's job more difficult.

^^^^^^^^
Why are other parties also adopting this principle. It is really annoying.
It gives the impression that PDP sets the standards and others follow.
Any wonder why we are where we are? Useless parties.

@Beaf,
Do not get too upset. Somebody must have his say. There is no need.
He has said his bit. Let the beat go on. That is my attitude.

Hmmnnnnnnn

PDP has started losing stamina in Ogun. May it spread to all the other joints across the country,Amin.
What we need now is a very alert anti-doping machinery and this is only possible through
genuine electoral reform.

^^^^^
Agree, She just read the weather properly to position herself. I can bet
you she will remain in the cabinet and may in fact be in Goodluck's kitchen
cabinet. I have always believed that there is a lot of hype in this woman.

@Prosper,
And by the way, if he/she understands leadership, Uncle Joe is not " having epileptic fits " or feet or whatever he/she was trying to say. He's behaved excellently.
Report to moderator

I do not know what you mean by Iban but the piece you are referring to was ex-tempore , just like a chat and also under time constraints. I cannot spend all day on the internet.
Anyway, what matters is to have an opinion you have none. I do not have any objection if you regularly test your editing skills.

I am entitled to my opinion on ''epileptic fits'' as you have not shown me any reason why I should not hold that opinion.

Appropriate positioning. Dora will remain in Jonathan's cabinet.
Its good to read the weather.

There is no need for anybody being sanctimonious here. Let us appreciate the position of this woman
in the hands of very wily and corrupt politicians and hangers on. Every woman in her position will definitely defend
the interest of her man but to what extent ? is the question.

@Becomrich

Where is the juice of the story (map)? And source?

quote from Udezue today

If Yar adua is a southerner, do you think this drama would have lasted more than one day? Ol boy sometimes you should at least try to remember that the rest of Nigerians are human beings instead of cows.

Ask your brothers in the FEC, National Assembly and The political parties.

Do they have any fire in them? Or have they sold out? And U 2 ? Where is your spunk?

When we say it is an elite problem, u say no, northerner this , northerner that.There is no abuse you have not levied . Am I justifed to now call you a cow?
Do I say Udezue is a cow or all his people are cows?

@fellow posters

Unless something gives, I have my fears for this country. For how long shall we continue like this.Our
country is now in the hands of unelected persons- Turai ,PDP and the FEC. Our Vice president, duly elected
on a joint ticket with Yar'adua seems to be having epileptic fits as he has not shown much savvy for the
power game. In effect, there is no difference between our democracy and what obtains in Libya and some
middle easter countries. Some people have hijacked this country and our other arms of government - security
legislature and judiciary is watching helplessly.

Unfortunately, the press is only after sensation, where are their investigative skills? The press is not only for
adverts and page three girls. This is the time to give us value for money. Or have the brown envelopes gone
round already?I have not seen any resourcefulness in this direction.

Since everything is left to conjecture, can we honestly believe that our president is indeed in this country? So
there is no other official that had a peek, or passing glance through the doorway, of our president on his sickbed
in Aso Rock? Or is he embedded and attached to a battery of gadgets inside the ambulance? It is even more distressing,
or the mother of all insults if the woman that suckled this fellow is not given access to him? At least , apart from
Almighty God, she is the only one owns him, with a better claim than Turai or anyone else.

My countrymen, you  see my dilemma? Why can't we do something good for a change? For our elders who have enjoyed
this country more and longer that everybody, this is payback time. If speaking up will be the only thing you can do, please do so,
we shall forgive all past misdemeanors for the sake of posterity. For civil society, we must rise up and demand action.

Our docility has already revved up the whirlwind, it is left to us to wake up and do something. If you expect these mandarins
in Abuja and state capitals to make a move, you will not see anything. This impasse came about because of their internal scramble
and they are positioning and strategising for  against any eventuality- post Yar'adua  and this stalemate has stunned them.

Me too, I am stunned. This ship has captain on board, and no lifeboat either.

@snowdrops

Yes this is foreign affairs section. Do you know Panya/Fernando Po?
Is Bakassi in Nigeria?

Is snowdrops living in Falklands?

@Bronzeman,

I think your DNA is undergoing some instability. Maybe Becomrich could be of service. I am surprised you
forgot about Bakassi and some parts of Cameroun to tayy with his own Benin Republic. You also forgot
to annex some parts of Niger and Chad Republic up north.

Please let us have an updated map.

Abi you no sabi use google maps?

Bronzman, what a appropriate name.

@dayo13,

Mission accomplished?

You may have to seek for more rewarding ventures, this one has collapsed
as usual.

As the sayiing, No weapon fashioned against me shall-------

There is this cliche about the dog licking its b-a-l-l-s instead of being idle,

Maybe you should try it and tell me how it feels.

Instead of you guys 2 worry about Bakassi, na one ice block for yonder.
Chei, Nigerians and too dabi

Nigeria no fit claim Panya- Fernando Po abi wetin call am?

How is it possible to assemble a very uncouth people in one region?

OYB-Mend

Look at the man in the mirror.

I refuse to be bothered by your insolence. It is people who have no answers that use your poise.
Na so you dey look stupidly when ya uncles dey do medemede with oil mpney from shell
and NDDC.I no think say u fit go near amnesty guys to collect stipend.

I understand your frustration.

@Agor1974

Forget about sharia , get your legislator or party leaders to use the constitution to get him out. That
is what i expect . By the way, have you held your own leaders accountable, or are they not in the
executive/legislature and judiciary? You want to be more catholic that the pope.

@oyb mEnd

Is it possible to accuse you for being docile? We are jointly responsible for this state of affairs
whether as leaders as followers, legislator or voter.

If you or your rep sit on your butt and allow the mess going on, do not turn round and blame others.
The  government is not made up of people from one national group alone. You are
represented by someone there . Have you spoken to him/her lately? Why have you not accused him of not
kicking out Yaradua?

I have always been amused by this British adventure in the Falklands.

Northern Ireland next door is fighting to retain its identity and sovereignty by resisting the British
and the British are claiming the Falklands, in this 21st century.

This is the mother of al greed(S) if there is any word like that.

@Illusion2



EKO O NI BAJE O !!!

Yes Oh, but make Fashola answer the question, Are Lagosians dropping their coins into a bottomless pit (somebody's pocket)?
If not, give proof. Finish, Afterall he is a SAN. He is on familiar territory.

We are still in the pristine age of nature- literally.

Re: Our Mission To Saudi Is To Thank The King – Ojo Maduekwe
« #23 on: Today at 02:47:21 PM »

Ojo's statements here are probably designed for the consumption of the King of Saudi Arabia and the Saudi diplomats. They are what could be classified as "diplomatic speak".

Most of us however do not buy the above, because our government is abnormal.


Haba \Diplomatic ,Parliamentary and security speak should have taken place within the last 80 days or so and all these guys have been sitting on their
butts , making our president a hostage to the King Saudi Arabia. CAn you associate anything honourable to these guys?

^^^^^^^^^^
It was just a public service, till I ended up with a nonentity who has no grasp
of even the basics in etiquette, demography and politics of his roots. Tried as much
as possible to get him on the right track,finally concluded that he is irredeemable and
took solace in the capacity of more decent folks in his corner of the world to right
harmful deeds.

Iprevioiusly held on to the maxim that opinions were like ass>>> holes, everybody has them
until Edoyad sowed me his own hole >>> on his forehead. I have closed that chapter.

The only Ojo east of the Niger, in his elements.
