Nothing new. You guys put too much premium on Turai when she is not an elected official
when the real culprits are in the Federal Executive council and the PDP. I do not expect her
to behave otherwise.

I see all these lawyers as part and parcel of our collective problem in this country.
I will refuse to comment on the Yola palaver for now and await the position of NBA
and a response from those planning to form a parallel congress.

Meanwhile it is party time for the hate mongers who I am sure cannot stand one on one
and prove their worth, i all fields of human endeavour with many of the folk they are
throwing jabs at.

Take it or leave it we still occupy the same space called Nigeria and if you do not have
the liver to occupy the same space with others, too bad. The opinion of some
journeyman typists in NL will not bother me. It is not the opinion of honest and patriotic
Nigerians.

SERVANT LEADERS OR SERVANT DEALERS

No matter the source, this presentation encapsulates the general feeling in the polity.
I could not have added or removed any sentence.

THE QUESTION IS , WILL THEY LISTEN?

You have only one vote, wait and cast it. Who says other parties should do
follow follow with this useless rotation that has led us astray?

You have only one vote, wait and cat it

@Beaf

I tried downloading with real player and it did not work. will use youtube downloader later.

Let me see if I can nominate you for an award at the Cannes Film Festival

As you wan abandon me now no more Nollywood. We get Kannywood for Kano but you must wear turban

@Beaf,

I follow tpia yawn. you suppose join nollywood.

Only you will require a scriptwriter.

It will be a bad ending for Cameroun to give back Bakassi becos e no go happen.

Maybe you can produce some Tom ad Jerry films or some series like Incredible Hulk.

Maybe some musical documentaries too.

I no Know say you no like me reach dis level

It is rather heartwarming that the bowels of Jos/Plateau has produced this specie of womanhood.
I am very proud . It is a consolation to us that things will certainly change for the better and
back to those days where all we see are human beings and friends and parents,uncles, aunts,and inlaws
and not foes. Sannu Aishatu

Oboma!
We refuse to join you. Youcan continue clapping with one hand.

Dem neva born pour own Obama, from the look of thingd, or he is still in diapers

^^^^^
As I have said many times in NL, we are hostages to each other. Ignore any other sentiments about
going or staying. Where are you going to. There is no local government that can stand on its own not
to talk of clans. Their IGR cannot even run an administration for one month. We shall continue to live on
each others fat till we get things right.

Do you expect Akwa Ibom or Bayelsa or Nassarawa or Niger , Ekiti or Delta or Abia etc to agree to go back
to control from Kaduna, Ibadan or Enugu? After tasting freedom? when people are asking for more states to
create more majorities and minorities ?

A new Nigeria is emerging and the catalysts will be the following

1) The Jos mayhem- people will now sit down and understand each other
2) NIger Delta- people will sit down and do something in their states and not wait for Federation account
3)Yar'adua,s ill health - Nigerians have started saying enough is enough
4) Anambra voters should begin the final onslaught to dislodge PDP


Unless you defeat PDP, the stagnation and civil strife will continue.

Man wey no get anything to sell can spoil other peoples market.

They can , if they like bu the legislators are now the stumbling block.
Elumelu and him paddy for that cabin.

After the film show of an enquiry/power probe, where all the actors were indicted. Elumelu
decided to shoot his own film and he proved to be a better actor and since then
they have refused to release the film for us. The film only got to the Legislators cinema hall.
E neva reach Silverbird .

WATCH THIS SPACE

Hmnn, I advise the originator of this post to hold on very tightly
to that half empty bottle of kiakai or whatever he is using to
amuse himself.

It is not telling him the truth.

@Beaf,
Please refer to Jakumo's post above. I say ma broda dem don shit for church. In the process of protecting Yar'adua and by extension their interests,
they have forgotten to keep the fire burning by honestly pursuing the dialogue in the ND. This is what I meant by doing the right things. These guys have
messed up the whole thing.

Common sense should have prevailed from day one. I am not sure this fire brigade get hose not to talk of fire engine. Where do they start from and
will ND trust and listen to Goodluck? The guys you have there are clueless. This amnesty has been championed entirely by the executive arm and the legislature
has been very inept by not taking the initiative to solidify the effort. Now we have a clueless FEC and sleeping lawmakers. Who will lead the initiative. I can only
hazard a guess and say civil society groups. Maybe there will be two Aaron teams now.

Nigerians should forget about these guys and initiate solutions on that level. Just thinking

@Beaf

This is realpolitik and those who do not understand it will never understand. Anyway, lets hope
this becomes a permanent feature on the part of ACF, in which you can never find an Almajiri as you
understand the word. It is elitist and of course represents the face you do not want to see.

Honestly, \i just wish everyone comes to his senses and we all do the right things this year.

Nyway, happy new year.

Anambra, show us the way. You have the golden chance to throw the
first hammer in our efforts to bring destroy his house of infamy cqlled PDP.

Please do not DISGRACE US.

Take it from me, there is no courage involved here. It is ineptitude and petty thievery, fertilised
by years of experience in the civil service, especially in the Federal Ministry of Transport and
the Ministry of the Federal Capital. Those who had to one thing or the other, or were
supervised by this guy know that- NMA<NPA<SHIPPERS COUNCIL> NNSL etc

I recall once making comments to the effect that when some people shake your hands, make
sure you count your fingers after the handshake. Some digits may be missing. :oThe
second attribute of verbosity and playing the gallery is just to cover up.

Wait until he leaves, you go hear story. The guy has always served and led himself and he will
show his hand.

wily wily, welcome to the fold

What is wrong with my country

No Records On Second Niger Bridge Contract'
From Nkechi Onyedika, Abuja

SEVENTY road projects worth N241.2 billion were awarded by the Federal Government last year to as part of its effort to achieve the goals of Vision 2020 and the Seven-Point agenda.

Sixteen of the projects costing N88 billion are expected to be completed this year.

But the government has declared that no contract had been awarded for the construction of the second Niger Bridge in Onitsha by any administration whatsoever.

Read more in the Guardian of today:
http://www.ngrguardiannews.com/news/article04//indexn2_html?pdate=300110&ptitle=No%20Records%20On%20Second%20Niger%20Bridge%20Contract'


What is wrong with this country?
They will not do some disaster happens and we will all be running from pillar to past. With the significant
position of Onitsha in commerce and the bridge being a major link with other parts of the country, the
FEC has not made any efforts to do something. This Minister of works is something else. He is so
inept that this bridge has not come to his attention. Is the man in Nigeria at all? Has he even gone to Anabra state
since he became a minister donkey years ago? He is the doyen of ministers, since the OBj days. It is sad, very sad.

Talking about bridges and roads, another rainy season is here. It will be another harrowing season for Lagosians
in the Apapa/Oshodi /Badagry axis.

I appreciate your grasp of the Holy Bible and its interpretations but the problem
is your understanding of the Holy Koran. A full grasp of what jihad may not be appreciated
in the light of the prism behind which you are looking at it and it is understandable. This is
the type of mindset that informs such attitude to anything Islam. You are entitled to your
opinion. This and doses of needless arrogance.That is what democracy is all about.

@Yusufi

The preponderance of biased minds on this forum is a fact and that is why many people have refrained
from making any further comments on this matter. I have personally lost on both sides of the divide and I
really do not want my sensibilities to be insulted by such persons whose basic knowledge of the issues at
stake is restricted to their fixations with religion and tribe. Even on the religious divide, their lack of depth
in what they profess and inability to seek further knowledge of the other side as their education should
have taught them makes the dialogue impossible.

I appreciate your contribution.

Please don't get me wrong but this is food for thought. This means that
we have to be cautious, very very cautious in our assessment of events
but then, do we have the time and resources? No

We are caught in the web of international intrigues where we have little
or no roles -- not even as sounding boards or cannon fodder. And all our
fixated folk jump to conclusions without looking at several angles mouthing
commentaries on issues that are beyond their understanding.

The situation is not helped by the total absence of our country in all
international fora. Maduekwe is fumbling somewhere and cannot even arrange
an international press conference, and his boss has left a lame duck VP in Abuja
Only poor Dora is left to make noise and it is directed at us(Nigerians).

Pity.

Afam,
I agree with you that the politics section has been 'bastardized''.
The solution? :-XI do not know? Left to the moderators. All
appeals for sanity have failed.

If you are not a voter in Kwara state, you should shut up.
If you are looking for more adventure you should do more enterprising
ventures like sponsoring a bill for gay rights to allow gay marriage,
gay priests, and such things. Leave the Kwara folk to handle their
affairs. Or you want to tell me that Kwarans are ''uneducated''?

Hmmnnn
