The Nigerian President is one of the most powerful Presidents on Earth by virtue of the widespread powers given to him by the National Assembly. To cut a long story short, if the President is good the rest of the country functions, if he's bad and corrupt guess what happens?

Exactly!

wrong, when the locals of these areas decide one morning to bomb themselves and are ever ready to die, there is nothing the President can do about it. That is where the leaders of the affected areas can help by curving the menace from the start before it turns into a monster.
Nigeria is the only country that you will see a small gutter in a remote street in the hinterlands getting overflowed with water and everybody around knows it is bad but they will not call the local leaders to arrest the situation but instead wait for the President to do something about it, now the Feds being saddled with so much responsibilities will not be able to arrest the ugly situation, when the small water becomes a big river the Feds are blamed for not doing anything. The question the op asked is simple, what did the local government chairmen, the state governors do about this book haram when they were still using motorcycles and hand guns to kill people?

Sorry Bro...No Chelsea.#Halamadrid

then which one is your own now?
REAL MADRID is in Spain what Manchester united is in England, so underdogs like barca and chelshit be like one season of their problems is their end and their fans make way tooooo much noise about everything. when Madrid or united lose a match we are still happy and hopeful but when either barca or Chelshit loses a match, it's like they are bereaved. I hate that attitude.

layifioren:
Yeah, how many new players did Man U sign recently? I guess Moyes messed with them too. Get out of here with that Moyes messed with Man U's spirit thing. You have a bunch of fringe players and even the most optimistic person saw the end even before SAF left. Let's just blame Moyes for everything. While at it, why don't we blame him for Man U not making it past the first round in UEFA champions league the last year SAF was there. For crying out loud they did not make it in the UEFA cup either.

what is this one saying? How can a team that won the BPL by eleven points just collapse entirely the very next season? someone has to be blamed for that. Yes being the champion presents its own problems but not to that extent. SAF and Rio said the same thing, that Moyes did not take into serious consideration the enormity of Manchester united, he underestimated the size of the football club, BTW no level of dioreah can make a bull become a goat, so man united can never get down to Chelsea's or man city's level, never.
our football improves in each game, that, we can all attest to, and top 4 is very realistic.

caprini1:
I told my Man u friends Moyes needed time ,they nearly brought everywhere down,now LVG with all the armament at his disposal is still struggling.And pls ,don't say the new players are blending,Man u is a big club,Real Madrid,Chelsea,Bayern etc all bought new players,and they are all firing on all cylinders....abeg no excuse.

get out of here. Moyes is the one that put us into this ugly situation. look at somebody that inherited a team of champions and transformed it into a bunch of losers. installing a spirit of nonchalance in the team.
don't you know that it will take a lot more hard work and determination and spending to exorcise that foul spirit? Go and support Chelshit for Christ's sake. Rubbish!

man united is the PAPA of all EPL clubs. even if we are having temporary problems in which it is glaring to all that we get better each game chelshit fans always have us on their big lips. if it were an any how club, that club in would have been forgotten by now.
When they sleep chelshit fans always dream about us, when they eat, they always think about, when they are discussing, the discussion is about us. intact we are too much, even when we don't have everything going well for us some londonians have headache just at the mention of our name.
even if they are more than 10 points ahead. intact GGMU. more grease to ur elbow LVG, we are solidly behind you, we are seeing the effects of Moyes getting kicked out.
I love the way we fought today.

op don't take this things in a literal manner instead take them as symbolic, the bible is complete book used for teaching and setting things straight, 6 usually refers to incompleteness (sin)before God and seven refers to completeness, ie Goliath had six fingers and in another case Abner killed God's enemy that had six fingers also then seven, God rested on the seventh day which is when God completed his creative activities, so the number six times three refers to gross misconduct or sin on the part of people.
now those things are Religion(churches and mosques everywhere), Big business( slave trade, oil and other mineral resources being used as an excuse to destroy humans and the environment, hard drugs, arms, etc) and Human politics( equally used as an excuse to kill people)
Now the above mentioned, have caused wars, destruction, killings and other crimes against humanity and God.
and for people who say the bible is a mere story book, it isn't a mere story book, a lot of these things being done in churches are damn wrong and AGAINST the bible message.

Tribalism is among the bane in comtemporary Nigeria society. And you just show that you are among those who spread it.

#ProudlyNigerian

it is not easy to forgive these people for what they did during the civil war.

barcanista:
fo.olish man!!!! Get over it, Boro is a legend. I understand your pain though

hahaha
he is a legend in getting the Niger delta fvcked
tell that to Gowon
proudly Igbo. enjoy your oil

joseph1832:
Okay, now, who's fooling who? Did not the FG say they signed a cease fire with a faction of Boko Haram?, only for Boko Haram to come and say other wise.

It is high time we call a spade a spade! GEJ and his band of inept cohorts must be evicted from Aso Rock come February 2015.

Am afraid if GEJ still remains in Aso Rock, there might not be a Nigeria left!.

#BringBackOurGirls

and so what. is it not the northerners that put Nigeria in this mess? so who cares if tomorrow there is no Nigeria left ? when ever I say anything good about Nigeria I mean my own part of Nigeria, and I don't care what ever happens in the north. proudly Igbo.

blame Isaac boro and ken saro wiwa, these two men fvcked the Niger delta from behind.

I do not have the money to set up a TV station that would rival CNN. Are you satisfied now? There are other Africans, and certainly African governments, who can do that. Why are they lost in space?

then please keep quiet about this issue.
what happened to good old YouTube.com
go and open a channel on YouTube.
it is free of charge.

spectroscopic:
We keep going round and round in circle. What is stopping us from having an African TV or radio station that shows the good things going on in Africa to the rest of the world? And by jove, there are many pockets of good things going on there.

Are you saying we cannot as a continent have an equivalent of BBC, CNN, Aljazeera, etc?

what are you waiting for?

spectroscopic:
But most countries with big GDP have translated their big GDP into tangible benefits for the citizens. Is the same true for Nigeria? How about Africa as a whole?

I know it's good to be patriotic, but it's is bad to be blindly patriotic. I will criticize when there is need, and there has never been a time to criticize than now.

what many do not understand is that there is no free money any where on this planet. You don't expect them to be doling out money just like that, that there is a lot of money does not mean one has to fling money left right and centre. his will you get money when you have little or nothing to offer in terms of skills? now a lot of people will say only foreigners are considered, that is not entirely correct. you must prove yourself before you are given a big project to handle. a lot of us want to strike it big right from day one which is not possible in the real world. I still maintain that as far as you have skills people are willing to pay for, even if you don't drive a Bentley or Aston martin, you will never beg for food or anything. having skills opens new opportunities and connection which will prove useful when there is a big project to be handled.

spectroscopic:
Are you sure you are 28? You act, write and rant more like a kindergartener

hahahahaha. you have a real sense of humour.

spectroscopic:
Since eon, there is cross movement of people from one country to another. Despite how rosy life might be in Europe and some other countries, you still find Europeans and people from such countries living in Sudan and other harsh places. Have you asked yourself why that is the case?

BTW, if your parents brought you to Gabon (suggesting that you are still a kid), then sorry, I should not be conversing with you but with your parents because as adults, they will understand me better. As for you, should be in class or your workshop studying or learning a trade.

now I understand that maybe you don't even have that passport or you are still in Nigeria, I was brought to Gabon in 1993 as a seven year old child, we are in 2014, do the calculations.
mind you I have been shuttling back and fort since then, I completed my both my primary education in Nigeria , but when next I go back to Nigeria, it is going to be the final, I have the opportunity to apply for their passport but I am quite satisfied with the carte de sejour I have, so I know exactly what I am talking about and when you insult a person you are supposed to reason with, or you abuse him or her then you have nothing to say. I attended aladumo educational centre in port Harcourt for my primary education and for my secondary education I attended GREAT GSS OWERRI.
HALA GSSO.

spectroscopic:
Good for you. If you live now in Gabon and I live in the USA, what is the difference - we're both living outside Nigeria, no? Or are you living in Gabon without a Gabonese passport?

You know what? I think any one who chooses to live in a foreign country should do all that is within their power to become citizens of that country, especially if they can still retain their Nigerian passport (dual citizenship- Like I am doing); unless, of course, they have diplomatic passport. This is an advise for folks like you. Thank you.

you still do not want to understand me. BTW I am here because my parents brought me here but I belong to Nigeria and willing to go back. I said that you should hold keep that issue of having an American passport to your self because you are not the first and definitely not the last, I now believe you are a kind of looking Down on others and getting puffed up with pride because you now have an American passport. I cannot run away, I stated that I am planning to relocate to Nigeria. Chinese and Lebanese I met in Gabon tell me of how they wish to be in Nigeria like their other compatriots in Nigeria, then I believe it is because they make it more in Nigeria than else where. Now Asians want to relocate to Nigeria and Nigerians are running to Europe and America, isn't that ridiculous? What is is they are looking for here that they dream of comming to get? while I run to develop another man's economy. just like I said before, our problems right now is simply because there is an over supply of certificates and little technical skills.

are those leaders from Mars? are they not Nigerians too? Op, I don't appreciate the way you handled this issue because I am forced to believe that you are the same thing with these Nigerians that when ever they get one small thing they start boasting and hanging their shoulders high even their clothes can no longer fit them because of high skin and they start looking down in those who either are not able to get that thing or like me who do not care or dream about going to America or Europe. You are not better than I am because you now have American passport. I want to travel but I also want to limit it to countries in Africa, ie right now I am living in Gabon but I closed my shop to learn a trade even if I was making plenty money from it but I want tok be an auto electrician that is my calling and talent, and I am planning to relocate to nigeria because the economy of Nigeria needs technical skills not certificates, there is an over supply of certificates but little in terms of technical skills. That is what I strongly believe is our problem not politicians. Those politicians are Nigerians just like me.

Honorable my foot, what is honorable about this man?

Ikengawo:
lol it looks like when apc tried to venture beyond "clueless" and "daft" the results are disastrous. This guy doesn't even understand that you in his devaluation timeline, buharis devaluation was included

lol

Ohhhh, so you want to tell me you never knew Americans are the most ignorant people on earth, they never want to know the truth,they only base their knowledge on what their government tells them on TV. they use ignorance to boast. Can you imagine that at this time and age, they still believe Africa is a country and we still live on trees.

Collynzo29:
Ikwerres actually use ''rumu'' instead of ''umu'', it is one of the many differences between their language and Igbo, just as they use ''wene'' instead of ''nwanne'', ''wiri'' instead of ''nri'' etc..
Stop disgracing Igbos here.
This thread reeks of serious ignorance.
I Collynzo, on behalf of other sensible Igbos, hereby denounce this useless thread.

which one is wiri. food in ikwere is ndi some say wuri. is soup is minindi or miniwuri which is the same as mmiri NRI or ofe. I lived with ikweres for a good 5 years. in Igbo a word like kita is ugbua in another Igbo. even in anambara state, in nnwewi plate is called efere while afoukwu that is just a stone throw away says afele. or ebony state. I don't even understand any word when they speak their own version of Igbo.

Bendix gear is either worn or the kick starter is out of position. then if is a whistling sound then change the fan belt.

crackjube your take on this does not matter at all. infact you are now behaving like a kid, he is the president of Nigeria and the incumbent so that alone has given him at least 35 percent of the total votes that will be cast then he will share the rest with whomever he competing against, and there is very little or even nothing you or your friends can do about it if not a abusing him, but he has developed Thick skin against insults so you R merely wasting your time.

OtunbaJega:
The first two guys above me just proved that the Op is on point

Foooolss!!!

you know, when you star to abuse somebody you're supposed to reason with, then you have absolutely nothing to say, it is his view point, which happens to be mine also, I want those girls released very much, but campaigning against the president as if he personally went to chibok and abducted the women is totally wrong, I mean let all of us campaign and protest against the boko haram not the president. Gej is right to feel the way he does land acts because of the wrong approach the bbog campaigners used, by the way, none of the women is in Aso rock, so why go there and disrupt and disturb the peace as if they are locked up somewhere inside there.

Greatihex:
leicester was beta dn manu in d second half. At that time di maria has goten tired and he was changed. Remove d fake penalty, they wld stil have won.

lies, what about pushing Tyler blacket from behind CUNTemburg clearly spoiled that match. I still maintain that man united was the winner of that match. whether you like it or not so on that day you people where sooooooo happy now is your turn to cry. cry me a river Niger. Rubbish

MissMeiya:
I didn't even bother to respond to that fool.

he is not a fool, if you have a skill people are willing to pay for, you may not have a Bugatti but you will never go hungry or nak3d

kevinaduga:
you are the one sounding uneducated. Nigeria has a population of 170 million. That you know a few who are living in affluence, doesn't mean everybody is. You have travelled abroad and seen how life is, have u been to the villages, especially in the north, and even on the street of our cities, to see the reality of most Nigerians. Stop allowing sentiments cloud ur vision and actually look at the reality on ground. Majority of Nigerians live below the poverty line, and no matter how hard u choose to wish it away, it's still the bitter truth.

in most African countries, only lazy people, alcoholics and womanisers are poor. That is people who are lazy and rely on others for anything, hard working man who knows the value of money saves may not have hummer Jeep but he doesn't beg for food or clothes he at least has the basic life needs which are food clothing and shelter and his kids go to school even if it is not an American or British or a private school. poverty is a state of mind.
the alcoholic spends most of his money on beers And spirits, the womaniser spends all his money on women thereby rendering themselves poor. I am not rich but I am not poor.

Greatihex:
thank you. your head dey there. e b lyk say giggs don take over from fergie. who know wetin hm been dey tel d ref b4 d second half start

Chelsea be like no team can ever beat us. but you got one point not zero. can you remember man united vs liester city were were two goals up by half time but at the end the referee made leizter city win by implementing one set of laws for us and another for them, it was so blatant but we did not complain.

MissMeiya:
It's called statistics. The field of mathematics has come quite a long way, you know. It's possible to make estimations using certain formulas with an acceptable degree of uncertainty. That's how business forecasts are calculated, despite not knowing actual figures.

estimates that a plucked from the air LOL
It will never be reliable. Sorry.
The basic information one must have is the correct or near correct of the population of the country in question. I too can say that 98% are rich towing your line of argument.

kevinaduga:
See www.indexmundi.com/nigeria/population_below_poverty_line.html.on where i got my estimates from. That you are living above the poverty line, doesn't mean every one is.
I don't understand the rest of what you are saying.

I want to believe that you know how percentage is calculated, you do not know the real population of a country, how do you ascertain the percentage that is poor and the other that is above poverty line, mind you, I am not a rich guy but I am not begging for food or clothes, and I am an apprentice in the field of automotive electrical and electronics.

let me not deviate, so where the poverty is. very pronounced is in the north, now the question is how did you arrive at the number when you don't know the real population of Nigeria?
