Callotti: See these cyber riff-raffs. . . .?
Are you crying about Bakassi?
Begin divide I say. . . .mu che che che che che

Bakassi was never yours in the first place. . . .

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bakassi

do you know what d anglo german agreement is all about? Does d british have d right to sell any part of their colony without d consent of d original owners of d land acc to UN rule? Thats what d british did and OBJ supported them by going to ICJ at all. Have u heard about d fauckland island?What will make d british to respond to d argentina at ICJ? Bakassi belong to nigeria until d british gave it to d germans,later it came back to nigeria after d world war and colonialism.Gowon signed it away and later realised his mistake and wrote a letter to cameroun on dt? Why didnt OBJ send bakassi and cross river representative to ICJ? Why did he run and implement d ruling when cameroun have nt implemented theirs? Now d big problem i'v nt understood and will like to is why jonathan a south southerner played hanky panky with reviewing d ruling? Who'll answer dt pls? Pls dnt tell me dt there is no fresh evidence bcs there are proofs dt fresh evidences exist.Lets nt forget adoke's role in botching d appeal.

Idokojimmy: I'm not surprised. He is a controversial man, and known for his chameleonic attitude. If these self styled Activists are denying responsibility for their show of indisciplined, then I feel sorry for their followers. First, Dino accepted, but having weighed the odds, recommended Abortion. Bisi being a GOD FEARING Child refused, and today Dino is flagrantly disowning his blood. If Dino can do this to his own, trust me, he can even deny nigeria. For Elrufai, who has remained frustrated out of power, he can only support his friend in solidarity. Both are lost in frustration. But our eyes are open, Dino should call for paternity test if he is not guilty. Activist my foot

you are a joker. An adultress a God fering child? What do u ppl take God for? Pls next time think well b4 u post any comment. Bisi is nt even ashamed of herself for having an affair with a married man. Or did he molest her? All these our actresses sef,i pity who go marry most of them. Or is this a set up? Bt how sure is el rufai dt dino did nt have an affair with d prostitute? My advice,if d baby is truely dino's after all tests,he shld take care of d baby and nt d bitch. She shld go for another married man. Dino have shown her dt she's only good for sexual relationship and nt for marriage. Abi marriage na force?

baby-boy:
Your wrong! why do you think Great Britain still has a firm grip on the Falkland Island? because the people living there don't want to be part of Argentina, Nigeria could muscle in, if the people living in the region are adamant that they dont want to be part of Cameroon.

britain have a grip on d island cos they've never agreed to go to ICJ or honour their invitation. O8J WOULD HAVE DONE DT BT DUE TO HIS GREED AND QUEST FOR MORE POWER HE BROUGHT THIS MESS ON US. CAN U BELIEV IT? WE LOST 33 VILLAGES AND GOT 4 ONLY? SOON D CHADIANS AND NIGERIENS WILL CUT A PART OF D DOCILE FOOL CALLD NIGERIA. WE ARE BEING RULED BY MYOPIC AND FOOLISH CHARLATANS. SORRY FOR D INSULT BT I CANT HELP IT.

Biafra : Awolowo replies Achebe from the grave


Tweet



Nigeria’s literary legend, Chinua Achebe in his latest memoir on the defunct Biafra, accused a Nigerian political legend, Obafemi Awolowo of demonstrating hatred against Igbo via the policies Awolowo initiated when he was Vice-Chairman and Finance Minister in General Yakubu Gowon’s cabinet during the Nigerian civil war.

Achebe did not make any new accusations; such dogged the Nigerian politician when he was alive and he had debunked all of them . Awo died in 1987 without fulfilling his life-long dream of presiding over Nigeria. The surprise however is that Achebe had decided to unearth the same old unfounded story 35 years after Awo’s demise.

What Achebe wrote about Awo:

"The wartime cabinet of General Gowon, the military ruler, it should also be remembered, was full of intellectuals, like Chief Obafemi Awolowo, among others, who came up with a boatload of infamous and regrettable policies. A statement credited to Awolowo and echoed by his cohorts is the most callous and unfortunate: all is fair in war, and starvation is one of the weapons of war. I don't see why we should feed our enemies fat in order for them to fight harder'.

"It is my impression that Awolowo was driven by an overriding ambition for power, for himself and for his Yoruba people. There is, on the surface at least, nothing wrong with those aspirations. However, Awolowo saw the dominant Igbo at the time as the obstacles to that goal, and when the opportunity arose with the Nigeria-Biafra war, his ambition drove him into a frenzy to go to every length to achieve his dreams. In the Biafran case, it meant hatching up a diabolical policy to reduce the numbers of his enemies significantly through starvation eliminating over two million people, mainly members of future generations."

Thanks to www.nigeriavillagesquare.com, we bring Awo back from the grave to confront Achebe’s lies, in his own words.

When you finish reading, make your own conclusion as to whom had lied: Achebe or Obafemi Awolowo.

During the 1983 elections, Chief Awolowo was hosted to a town hall interview in Abeokuta, where in addition to other pertinent topics of the day, he spoke on his role in the civil war, the 20-pound policy, starvation as a weapon, change of currency, abandoned property etc.
CIVIL WAR

MODERATOR: Yes Mr.......Mr. Oparadike.

QUESTION: Chief Awolowo, your stand on the civil war...Your stand on the civil war, however unpopular it may have been to the Biafrans or Ibo people, helped to shorten the war. Today, you're being cast as the sole enemy of the Ibo people because of that stand, by among others, some of the people who as members of the federal military government at that time, were party to that decision and are today, in some cases, inheritors of power in one Nigeria which that decision of yours helped to save. How do you feel being cast in this role, and what steps are you taking to endear yourself once again to that large chunk of Nigerians who feels embittered.

AWOLOWO: As far as I know, the Ibo masses are friendly to me, towards me. In fact, whenever I visit Iboland, either Anambra or Imo, and there's no campaigning for elections on, the Ibo people receive me warmly and affectionately. But there are some elements in Iboland who believe that they can maintain their popularity only by denigrating me, and so they keep on telling lies against me. Ojukwu is one of them. I don't want to mention the names of the others because they are still redeemable, but ....Ojukwu is irredeemable so I mention his name, and my attitude to these lies is one of indifference, I must confess to you.

I've learnt to rely completely on the providence and vindication of Almighty God in some of these things. I've tried to explain myself in the past, but these liars persist. Ojukwu had only recently told the same lie against me. What's the point in correcting lies when people are determined to persist in telling lies against you, what's the point. I know that someday the Ibos, the masses of the Ibo people will realize who their friends are, and who their real enemies are. And the day that happens woe betide those enemies. The Ibos will deal with them very roughly, very roughly.

That has happened in my life. I have a nickname now, if you see my letterhead you'll find something on top, you'll find a fish done on the letterhead. Some people put Lion on theirs, some people put Tiger, but mine is Fish. And Fish represents my zodiac sign, those of you who read the stars and so on in the newspapers; you'll find out that there's a zodiac sign known as pisces, in Latin pisces mean Fish.

Can somebody from igboland pls say something for or against this? If nt i 'll believe awo. Though i'm nt his fan. To me he's just like abiola.

gbadexy: Apparently, irrespective of their educational qualification, the easterners all have this only us attitude.
Even a well respected achebe couldn't rise above ethnic sentiment like some yoruba scholars.
So achebe and the ibos hatred of awo really started because he didn't allow them to rule yoruba land, I wonder at the mentality of people that would see it as a right and unforgivable sin to refuse being ruled.
Prof achebe also said the easterners were prevented from being politically relevant in the country, I would have expected this great prof to explain how. Ibos were the information minister of IBB and abacha and the easterners carried out their dirty work, besides the north is relevant because they have unity and present strong front and the south west are also relevant because they are united and combine the voices to support their leaders. The ibos are most likely the second highest tribe in the country and if united, could have been relevant in the scheme of things in the country.
Lastly, I pity all these butty internet warriors that doesn't know what's up, wars are nt fought with mouth, if it were solid men that typed it I would know from their words and may even acknowledge them of their freedom of expression.
I don't ever pray to witness war, but these kids should discontenance biafra time propaganda that yorubas were cowards, ojukwu used propaganda effectively and he wanted to taunt yorubas into joining the war and he also said the military were embarking on a jihad to wipe out all ibos. He told them they were fighting for their survival and that the hausas are coming to finish their massacre so the people needed no incentive to fight to the last man as they thought they were fighting total annihilation.
I am surprised this prof is still mouthing the northern jihad stuff, did the nigerian soldier now wiped out the ibos after defeating them and entering their territory?
I respect genuine ibo business people and I know that the economy of the country would take some serious bashing if they were to be out of the system because they power medium scale industry.
If any war were to be fought, does any right thinking ibo truly believe the yorubas would just fold their arm? Have any of them slapped or molested a yoruba person without provocation and the yoruba kept quiet to feel we are cowards? Mehn, boys are not generally smiling, if any such thing happens, we would equally wipe each other out, you people in the west know that we sef get crase people, but I don't ever pray to witness war, not even in other countries that would affect normal life in nigeria. All these talk of war and preparation is the trade mark of kids, adult don't pray for war, they know the negative effect is too costly and would rather concern themselves on how to better themselves and their family.

firstly bros,its nt ibo bt igbos. There is a different,study it. 2ndly,u dnt want war just like me so lets nt mind d boys shouting here. It is on record dt an igbo man was d richest in nigeria b4 d war. And there were rich igbos b4 d war. Why did Awo decide to give them only 20 pounds after d war whether u have millions or billions in ur account?

Pls its nt ibos bt igbos if we're all talking about biafrans. We are IGBOS. Awo is a saint bt under his watch as finance commisioner,20 pounds were giving to biafrans after d war. What type of saint is this? Lets nt forget david mark and d abandon property. Was awo nt there when all these were happening? Today,yorubas and igbos are second class citizens of Nigeria according to hausa fulanis. Yorubas,rise up and tell them dt it was nt because of them d northerner dt igbos were defeated bt bcs of u. Today,d northerners have said dt lagos does nt belong to yorubas bt a corridor. hahahahahahahahahahah. Yoruba land for christ sake. Rise up yorubas. The truth is dt you all are nt like Achebe depicted u. Atleast col Banjo and co are nt like dt. Arise yorubas,arise and take ur proper place in 9ja!!!

I didnt hear of his 1996 act and prison story till today.SLS used to be my hero till at a point i saw through him. I still remember when Christine Largarde calld him d most intelligent man in nigeria and i said no to that bt one sagamite here in nairaland upbraided me bt today,SAGAMITE is d fool he wanted me to be. I'v bn calling for his sack and will nt stop until he's removed.GEJ SACK THIS MAN NOW PLSSSSS!!!! Give a damn for once.

Bt why is d americans making caricature of religions? This is how they'v basterdizd xtianity and later introduce church of satan. If d moslems keep quite they'll introduce mosque of satan. Why are they always doing this?I'v nt forgotten da vinci code and how they denigrated d person of jesus.Or shld i talk about what they'v done to d bible to d extent dt i dnt even know d true bible.I mean they've written many versions of d bible dt i dnt know which one is talking about what really happend. I dnt pity them.

Stop d praises pls. Dnt forget what happened during d subsidy removal crisis. We were told dt it has bn suspended until further notice bt we were slammed with d news of d removal on 1st january. What if on january 1st we see d N5000 note and d coins dispensing machine? Learn nt to trust 9igeria govt for ur own good!!! They dnt give a damn about us. And d most intelligent man in 9ja said dt he dnt care what we're saying.

Stop d praises pls. Dnt forget what happened during d subsidy removal crisis. We were told dt it has bn suspended until further notice bt we were slammed with d news of d removal on 1st january.

PEREP: quote author=Gbawe]


Stop following me around, saying the same nonsense. Stupid bigot. Is Tinubu the President of Nigeria? Dumbo.
Gbawe, he is not following you around but your posts on NL see the cup half empty and not half full.

GEJ have his faults but his commitments on some areas cannot be denied.

He has promised we will see more of his works by 2013 and waiting till then is not out of place as we believe in the project Nigeria.

The reality is that GEJ is not OBJ that bottled issues/pple up for 8 yrs thereby leading to the increased agitation by almost every part of the country at the same time.

He is working steadily towards improving electricity generation and distribution, He promised a people's constitution, He is reviving the railways, He is building a 2nd Niger Bridge, He is working to fix Lagos Ibadan Express way, he ensured free elections in Edo and all other states, He introduced 9 new universities, he approved the building of more airports in Nigeria to cater for the emerging needs, He is empowering youths through the Youwin programme, First locally built Naval Vessel under his watch, He is working towards having a diversified economy, the nationalization of three banks saved over 10000 jobs directly and gave hope to over 100000 dependants if not more, working towards helping out Air Nigeria and Aerocontractor, privatization of PHCN is ongoing and many more.
It is true he had issues with the security of the Northern part of the country, issues with communicating many of his policies to the masses, he increased fuel price on Jan 1st and many more shortcomings. He has retraced his steps on some of the issues and refined others.
He is a leader like anyone around the world with achievements and shortcomings. No two pple are the same.

Yes thats true bt he want to introduce N5000 note to destroy our economy and make looting to be easier. He want to 9ja to zimbabwe with his myopic monetary policy full of lies. He endorsd sanusi's warkd policy!!! Most of all, HE DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT US!!! What a presidential speech !!!

If their request is granted,what's happening in jos will happen to any other state dt agreed to this request.Jos is a good example dt this request is for land grabbing. If their request is granted,what about other ethnic groups?will they be giving land in d north for farming or for trading? The solution to this problem is for them to embrace animal husbandry/ranching.

van bonattel: Can somebody tell me what the qualifications of this man is for them to appoint him to such an office as this?

he have a degree on islamic studies. Thats all i know about him. I also know dt he copied someone intellectual work and he was sued i remember dt christine Largarde calld him d most intelligent man in nigeria when she visited just bcs he does whatever IMF wants which i vehemently disagreed on bt was insulted here by one SAGAMITE.Now sagamites insult will go back to him, a bottom licker.

Did mohammed use d rosary?

First d rosary dropped on d bed pan then later d baby held on d rosary and wouldnt let go. Which of these will we believe? Dt d rosary droppd or dt d baby held on to d rosary? What is d significance of all these? Is there anywhere in d koran or bible where it was written dt we shld expect all these or dt it means smthng? Lets nt be myopic bt what does other countries think about all these? Are we trying to create another mecca in 9ja?

Billyonaire: Do you pay your taxes ? What is your individual contribution to Nigeria economy ? What have you done for Nigeria ? Do you just wake up and expect manna from heaven ? UNTIL YOU CONTRIBUTE TO NATION BUILDING, YOU HAVE NO REASON TO EXPECT ANYTHING FROM YOUR GOVERNMENTS.

rubbish. I call this rubbish.Govt is nt doing well and u're blaming him for nt paying tax. What about others dt pays their taxes? Have d govt built a separate road for them?improved d health sector,education,security etc sepaprately for them?Have d govt prosecuted d oil thieves and other thieves in his govt for those dt pays tax? Tell d govt to start working and u're him pouring unnecessary venom on smone who need and require growth and development for d country. Tell me,of what benefit will N5000 note and changing of other smaller denominations bring to d country?

chino11: You are seriously getting it wrong. Economic emancipation start one-day, in the 60s and 70s lagos economy was less than what it is today, now they are reaping from it heavily. That Anambra invested in Sabmiller and Orient Petroleum Refinery does not mean that Anambra government will determine when to fire or hire anybody or even decide to sale it off. Its purely foriegn expatriates that constitute the management and running of the company, Nigerians in the company are merely technical personnel.

The Anambra investment in the company is just to secure the future of Anambrans in the company both jobs, IPOs and equities so that it will not be high-jacked by other well-to-do individuals or outsiders. Did I hear you say 'just started company? Let me tell you SABMILLER is the second largest brewery in the whole world, they didn't achieve that feat with mouth but excellence and level of production. Guinness brewery do not even come close among the 10 biggest breweries in the world let alone our own paltry NBL.

Presently even before they start operation the market is now being flooded with SABMILLER drinks, they are already taking over the market even before they start operation. I assure you they will effectively run out of the market NBL and Guiness real soon, because they are not 2nd largest brewers in world for nothing.

Talk talk talk and no point. All u PO's boys are like him. Bros pls mention their products so dt we'll go to d market and check them out. Dnt 4get what happened to 33,salzelmbra,and other beer dt tried to come into d country.Nigerians know about gulder,star,stout,heinekein,life.(thanks to EPL) Investing in orient is fantastic bcs we dnt have a refinery in d state or even in Nigeria. Sabmiller is good bt its a gamble,what again?So for 5yrs these are d only thing he can do? What about education? Employment nko?agriculture kwanu?health? Sports nko?Lets talk about roads? Why didnt he build dt his super market here in anambra?lack of trust?he impoverishd d state? The only thing working for him is propaganda using d nonsense abs radio and tv to disturb my ear drum.ABS NA RADIO STATION BE DT?NKEA NA ADA AJA AJA!!!

chino24: Umunnem calm your nerves. We are getting there. As for airport, as I write this piece arrangements are being concluded by Orient Petroleum in partnership with Anambra state government to kick start the construction of an International Cargo airport as approved by FG at Anambra north area. The land has been acquired also, maybe I will post the locational map.

The new location of the airport is 20min to Awka, 20min to Onitsha and 45-50min to Nnewi, its gonna be a centrally located airport that will serve the major Anambra cities and neighboring Kogi and Nsukka areas even upto some parts of Benue. On the area of road construction, the roads traversing the Udoka est. Ngozika est. and most importantly GRA roads are being asphalted down to the express junction.

I will still prefer that Awka is not industrialized like Onitsha and Nnewi, because presently the city is metamorphosing into a huge hospitality center with hotels of various classes dotting the landscape. Besides that LG electronics is fast erecting a massive mix use development facility that will house upscale entertainment, luxury apartment, five star hotel and bank premises in the heart of Awka, this will be a major landmark in the SE.

Its a place to relax due its quiet and serenity nature filled with government workers and students which most informed class of people. Presently Onitsha roads are receiving same attention, with the expansion of the 8 lane road from Headbridge to Zik's junction and up to Awka end of the expressway.

THANKS BRO BT BUILDING AN AIRPORT IS IT REALLY A FRIVOLITY? IS THERE ANY PLAN TO CONSTRUCT ROADS AT AWADA? DNT TELL ME ITS D WORK OF D LG BCS WE DNT HAVE LG IN D STATE.THANKS TO PO. AWADA NEEDS ROADS.THEY PAY HEAVY TAXES.EROSION WILL WIPE AWAY AWADA OOOO!!!

deshclones: Dude..i presume you are educated bro...delta can afford to build an airport..anambra cannot afford that kind of frivolity for now...for fccks sake anambra gets in a quater what delta gets in a month from FAAC allocation alone not to talk of igr from those oil firms ....ada[b]obi[/b] is not a man of frivolities nwanne m nwoke...what are we doing with an airport for now bro??how many airlines use the asaba,uyo,enugu and imo airport in a month??do you know the running cost?..when last did you visit home or even used any of the airports i mentioned??..i think we should all encourage the construction of a mega seaport so that our trader and importer brothers will use it judiciously...airport to me is a white elephant project bro...little wonder 90% of governors that want to siphon state money embark on airport project...e.g uduaghan,attah even the infidel mbadinuju and andy ubah.

my cousins were employed last year..even though they did the test and verification in 2010..but they started work last yr....they worked for like 6months straight without pay but everything has been regularized....ask people at home nwanne m..am so sure of this.

N.B:Am not supporting ada[b]obi[/b] buying stocks with our money,he should develop our state capital..i just want to clarify your stand that we need an airport.

Let me educate u on dt employment. Forms were filled and submited.Uptil today,they've nt conducted any test,nor interview.If u want i'll give u d number of d man in charge of it.If ur cousin got employment as a degree holder,it means dt PO is employing only his kits and kin bcs d employment s nt open. On d airport,he was d one dt promised us d airport dts y i'm holding him to it and yes anambra can afford it and anambra needs it.Think about all d biz men in anambra,they need itAnambra is today an oil producing state.If we cant afford it,Y INVEST A WHOOPING N25B on an unreliable equities? Our bros have answered dt plan is on d way to build a cargo airport.I'll commend him when dt happens nt his propaganda. Now u'v seen dt an really need an airport.We have d greatest number of business men so why will u say dt we dnt need it just bcs PO is dilly dallying? On roads,I know nnewi and i schooled at awka.I know how awka road was and how it is now.I know d ones ONWA awarded and POs.Awka indigines are crying for PO.AWKA IS D STATE CAPITAL FOR GODS sake.

kasiem: This man is really futuristic

deshclones: Dude get real...what are we doing with an airport for now??when we have the asaba and enugu plus imo airports?for your info those ones i mentioned are grossly under used..on the issue of employment,i have 4 cousins that were employed by the ANSG.....ada[b]obi[/b] is slow no doubt but he is surely taking us to great heights...am just peeved at him for his utter neglect of awka..the state capital looks like some village square....i was told he is doing it on purpose becos awka guys didnt vote for him in the last election....i think its wrong for a leader to be vindictive,you need to go to his local govt area and agulu to see what he has done..tarred roads everywhere..even the agulu obeledu road is now tarred...he should give awka a befitting facelift,same way he has turned parts of osha and nnewi around....

kasiem: This man is really futuristic

Part of onitsha,yes u're correct. Nnewi,u're wrong. Did i hear u say dt anambra does nt need an airport?y didnt u tell delta state dt imo,enugu,benin aiirport were under used and nt to build theirs?Y this myopic reasoning my young man? Are u in any way benefitting from PO's misgovernment and mismanagement of our dear state?U prefer he waste N25B on equity and shares which every wise man knows is a high risk biz to building an airport in d state? Anambra NEEDS THIS AIRPORT WHETHER U AND OBI BELIEVE IT OR NT.For Gods sake its a good soiurce of revenue. Why didnt he build it first b4 uduagha built his? Short sightedness? Is dt nt y i voted him? Did he tell us dt he'll use our money to do gambling in shares and equities?Or are u nt aware of d last stock exchange collapse?Have it recovered? PLS BROS TELL ME WHEN PO EMPLOYED D 2 COUSINS OF YOURS U MENTIONED.ARE THEY GRADUATES? WHEN BRO WHEN?

kasiem: This man is really futuristic

Really? Is he? How much did delta spent to build their airport?Is it up to N17B? Why dnt he spend a fraction of this amount to build even a local airport dt will be yielding money for d state? Do u know why i voted for him in his first tenure?bcs he promised us an airport.Where is it today?Mirage!!! Now he's talking about equity dt have high risk.Is there no other project he can build than buying equities and shares? What type of futuristic plan does he have dt he cant see dt anambra with d biggest market in west africa needs an airport,seaport and when d feds finish d seaport dt to start a shiping line is far better than buying shares dt if care is nt taking will loose its value? Go to onitsha,is there any govt presence there? Do u know how much awada generates for d state bt there is no tarred road there? What of Nnewi?Let me nt talk of awka. Bros PO is myopic and a miser.Why didnt he build d super market he built at abuja here in anambra? Well,he have a strong propaganda machine which he uses to brain wash ur likes. Have he employed a single graduate since he became d gov of anambra? Ponder and reply.If u insult me,i'll ignore u and ur likes.

He told GEJ to reduce d price of petrol which he increased by removing d imagined subsidy payment(Tom david west challenged them to prove publicly dt there is smthng like subsidy payment bt none took d challenge)Gej refused.He told Gej to sack deziani,Adoke etc bt he refused.He told Gej nt send soldiers to d street of Lagos he refused.Shld i continue?

Dollarman101: Baba skii, na true you talk. And na Wetin make JONA wan remove the subsidy. Make we reason am.
If JONA wan steal oil money like others before him, he will even encourage the subsidy thing. He will never contemplate removing it because it's the no 1 conduit pipe for corruption.
JONA tire for the looting of his people's resources by the north so he went for subsidy removal make everybody go rest.
Look, if you see the billions wey these northern corrupt civil servants in NNPC and PPPRA they make through subsidy, you go shock.
The best bet was and still remains private sector takeover. And you know say private individuals no fit venture into any business where govt dey fix price. Make market forces fix prices.
That's the way it should be

I like the reasons u gave for d subsidy removal.Its nt dt i cant couter it bt i'll let it pass.My question now is,why didnt GEJ goons explain it this way?Is this nt an after thought?Why didnt they take tam david west challenge?When did this subsidy payment start and who started it?David west was an ex petrol minister,is he nt sure of what he's saying? They were saying dt govt need money,why didnt and havent they stopd subsidizing pigrimages?DNT JOIN THESE PPL DT LIKE HOODWINKING D PPL THEY'RE RULING.

Elueme: What are we not saying brother.. Time has come for us to live above partisanship and biase and focus on how we can move Nigeria forward.. I have presented my position with sharp comparison and contrast on the scenario you initially pointed at.. Privatization had worked in many other societies... OBasanjo initiated the process of defining a capitalist form of economy for the country after a protracted years of no definitive economic pattern.. Though couldn't fully establish it neither did he fail.. Taking you back memory lane, I ll remind you that el Rufai was the person who chaired our privatization ventures and if it failed as you said, then elrufai should be held liable.. Talking of debt, though am not an economist but borrowing is part of what makes any economy, find out... And I heard Ngozi Iweala saying somedays back on AIT that the country was going to take proactive measures to guide against frivolous borrowing next year to avoid the mistake of the past and you should know that the individual state borrowing is still part of country's debt indices, I say dis to expunge your mindset that every incurred debt is by fed govt ..I bothered you on the above statement cos your statement tend to blackmail the finance minister of insincerity which ll be very unfair to her.

Maybe u didnt understand me.NOI is my sis so i'll nt lie against her.During OBJ regime,she told us dt our debts were weighing us down dt we need to exit and dt it will b better for us.we did bt recently i heard dt in 2013 Nigeria will embark on another borrowing spree led by her.Is dt nt in consistency?Why is she pretending dt she dsnt know about bad debt and good debt? On privatisation,u misunderstood me.OBJ and d mad dog elrufai were indicted heavely on d privatization investigation.It was discovered dt they sold Nigeria properties to themselves and bought them with Nigeria's money.Most of them were cancelled thereby rendering d privatisation inconclusive. Meanwhile what i was saying is dt our president shld embark on policy projects he can finish within his tenure and nt embarking on a long term policy dt will extend to another persns tenure.The persn might discontinue with dt his policy project just like in OBJ case.U get me now?

doublecross: It is also written in the holy book that thou shall not judge so that thou may not be judged. Luke 6:37. Tunde Bakare is a big fool and is not worthy to be called a pastor. In-fact, he should be arrested and booked for not obeying what he preaches. Why can't he pray against the Boko-Haram terrorist group and beg God to review their hide-outs instead of condemning the President and his activities.
