Abeg go and sit down, this campaign will not work. You are just whistling in the dark.

At posters,

I humbly submit that it is a requirement that aircraft/ships transitting through third party countries have to be represented in such ports/airports for all their consular requirements be it fuel/stores/repairs /crew change and this explains the presence of an agent. Unfortunately, going by local lingo, every agent is a clearing agent. The actual nomenclature is Freight forwarder which is different from a ship agent or in this case airline.

For obvious reasons all permits regarding the plane and its purpose of landing have to be obtained from the relevant authorities so the agent is appointed in advance to sort out all these, including the technical requirements by way of food, fuel, crew change etc.

Some people do not have a grasp of the rudiments of the business and begin to create faults where there are none.

All this unnecessary speculation and display of ignorance is uncalled for.

People should learn to control their comments as we know those who have close affinity with guns in modern Nigeria.

@Kshow,

The initial poster is making comments on the proposed "course" our 36 governors have scheduled for themselves over the next few months, As you may be aware, there is no school of governance in Nigeria in our first generation universities not to talk of the "rookie" ones they (the governors are conjuring, by hook or crook even when they cannot fill the spaces available in older universities in their catchment areas.

In any case, what is more baffling is that they are going for "new course units" which synopsis is under development in Havard. That is the contract they have given to Harvard. In addition, I do not know how the "study leave, with,or without pay" will be approved and by whom and from which budget, These people are very bold Oh! Them jump NIPPS, ASCON, Lagos Business School etc and their alma mater be ir UI,OAU, UNN,ABU and so on come go Yankee to disgrace us.

I wonder what the course content will look like. I do not see topics like " How to rig the next election": "How to promise what you cannot deliver"; " Talking from both sides of your mouth"; " Converting your affairs in your state into zero sum game " ; " Post Gubernatorial years-Preparing for the rainy day"

I am not aware if the governors and those who are supposed to "speak sense to them" have seen the folly of this enterprise . I only hope that they keep their hands away from the "chicken change " wey go remain after this "madness" is over. Please do not expect any reaction from legislators, they are in a world of their own.

How on earth can an elected governor be going to school to study what he has not prepared or promised in his manifesto. And he has the time for such matters in the twilight of his tenure. I wonder what the last bath of governors that will attend the Harvard course will deliver when they graduate in 2011 when they are presently in their second and last tenures.

If you want to re-brand Nigeria, I do not have any objections. Mysicere advise? It should be driven by citizens/ private sector, certainly not by government.

Aunty Dora has missed it, just like her seniors before her, the Jerry Gana"s. Na only to make big big budget and chop de money.

Nothing good will come out of these people, Pity,Pity,

Is it the gang trying to swindle us with the Electoral reform act? that is their own brand of PR and you want them to move Nigeria with this definition of the rule of law.

Address Nigerians first before you look venture outside. Comon sense dictates that as your stepping stone. YOU SLAP ME AND YOU WANT ME TO LAUGH and you tell OUTSIDERS SAY YOU DEY RUB ME POMADE, which kind yeye branding be dat?[i][/i]

Re: Has Anybody Considered Ojo Madueke For President.
« #112 on: Yesterday at 05:01:33 PM »
Funny enough, Ojo is my next door neighbor in the village, I should be rooting for him. But truth is, he is a non performer, charity they say begins at home. But the road in his area is the worst in the country. If you've been in the highest corridors of power for over 6 years and your immediate constituency cant feel any Federal presence nor feel you as an individual, that for me, is FAILURE!

See now Dis na from the grass roots. I happen to have been there in the hey days when the man was chopping NMA and NPA like mad.

His people have talked, need we say more?

In the same vein, It does not really matter who PDP gives the ticket, all is a journey to the grave, going by events in the south west, they will salvage themselves, South East nko to APGA/PPA, Na only South south and North go remain and I enjoin my brothers to shine their eye well well, be ready to do battle and get these pests out of our courtyards. Nigeria will only be sane when PDP is out of the way.

[i][/i] It will be "IDIOTIC" to contemplate" the only Ojo east of the Niger" for a presidential ticket  in the presence of  Anyaokwu, Uwechue,Utomi, Ben Obi, the Nwodo"s, Idika Kalu and the many other  credible persons that abound in this section of Nigeria.

I am sure we all remember the "idiotic"mantra.

What do we have to show for his journey in government and politics?His supporters should tell us.

Perhaps it will be necessary for the people of Abia state to start the ball rolling, or more specifically, from Asaga.

Make him people talk first, then we go  put our own.

Life is a relay race, the baton is handed over to the next athlete.
Those who hate northerners with a passion will realise that we are all
part of the same generation. There is always the good and bad side
of every community.

Try to look at the brighter side of lie and realise that affairs in this country are conducted by our elite as a "collective" and those
occupy the headship of this collective do not mind this rather "irritating" observations and " i better pass my neighbour" pathological hausa bashers. Those who run and gain from the system are in league with their kith and kin be it in whatever direction of the compass, the bureaucracy and the political parties, and legislature.

All those talking about education, qualification and merit may really have nothing going for them apart from being empty vessels and I strongly believe they have nothing to their names by way of achievement in any sphere of human endeavour.

I refuse to be drawn into any debate on the quality of education/qualification of anybody, knowing fully well the scandals in examiniation malpractices at all levels of education in this country. We have heard of kindred sharing one certificate!!!! or sitting in for examinations , etc. The  beneficiaries span all generations of Nigerians but it is more prevalent in some sections of the country.

Evidently, it will serve no purpose questioning the "credentials" of these persons as their  kindred have already gone far ahead and are now "achievers" and "role models" . Honestly, not everyone is guilty and I refuse to allocate percentages as some people wildly do.

In the final analysis, those whose refuse to see the good in anyone are only fooling themselves. Feel good ,it is always brave to shoot from behind the stockade. Nairaland is available. The question is CAN YOU STAND UP TO BE COUNTED , when there is a clarion call to salvage the nation? Because you are already blinded by your prejudices and the firdt step in helping each self respect.

If you refuse to be part of this nation, where are you going to,


I sincerely hope these people will tolerate the onslaught when the other side of the record is playing, OBJ did his, UMARU is doing his own and it will go round. We have not seen the last of this issue  and to my mind, this too will pass, like the baton to other athletes and people will shut up when their brother dey there.

Sincerely , many things are wrong but the fault can never be in our neighbour alone, we are in it together,

[b][b]@kobojunkie

The standards you are different here. I believe you are living outside this country.
Even if you are, have you heard of a Haliburton? SIemens Panalpina not to talk of our
locals who have one case or the other with our FIRS ?

MOst of these firms evade tax in one way or the other. You can then imagine what their local directors can do in collaboration with any willing tax official.

I can tell you very confidently that the only tax payer is the salary earner, on condition that his employer remits the deduction to the tax authorities. Where the sums become very heavy, the employer delays payment and uses the money for something else. There were many cases where employees are unable to get a tax clearance certificate for this same reason.

You can then imagine where folks are asked to declare their earnings for tax assessment.

For obvious reasons, there is no need to consider issues like exemption . It is of no effect.

A poser to you, ARE YOU AWARE THAT NGO (NON GOVERNMENTAL ORGANISATION) IS NOW BIG BUSINESS IN NIGERIA?
[/b][/b]

I thought vision 2020 has something to do with sight

I see blind leaders at the moment.


Anyway, the following areas must be addressed before we can get to that target but it appears your date is too far. I want to see it in my lifetime:-

Reforms in the polity -1) electoral , winners should not take office before court cases are heard and settled:; offenders should be prosecuted
2) the system of government, this presidential system is too expensive and cumbersome
3) The parties are too many

@ Kobojunkie and fellow countrymen,

Rich folks do not pay tax in Nigeria, some not even poll tax. Even the guys at "Transcorp and Madam Obama's guests at that infamous fund raiser.
They do not pay tax commensurate with their earnings, use more utilities than us . Saw the running battle between Lagos state and GLO/MTN?

Anytime these folks make a display, I suggest that their tax records be checked by FIRS and state tax authorities. Maybe he should start with Madam Obama's guest list. What do you think?

@
Mccrackles
how Obama be your own?!

wetin concern you concern Obama?!

make una no face una country!!



I only meant our own version of Obama, not The US President elect. Nigeria comes first for me, anytime anyday.

ALLAHU AKBAR, ALLAHU AKBAR, THERE IS STILL HOPE FOR THIS COUNTRY.

OUR OWN OBAMA DON BEGIN DE JOURNEY,

THANK YOU EDO STATE, ALLAHU AKBAR
