na wa for this country.

A country that wants to tackle terrorism/bombing problem, but also has no constant power supply, how the hel l do you want to properly tackle this new bombing method of terrorism? All it takes is for BH to operate whenever there is no light.
Shame on all our leaders!

omg!

no wahala my brother. if you think jonathan can produce, it's ok. but if we want to move forward and rub shoulders with other great countries, we can not continue to use the past failure of obasanjo and others to justify the weakness of our current president. i think jonathan himself knows that he has no business in aso rock, this is why he can not believe or understand what is going on.

oga, please read my post carefully. i did not say babangida is better, but america saw what we did not see and still can not see. pls read the post again, but pay attention this time around.

i'm not saying babangida is better, but go and do your research and you will discover that america wanted babangida more than anyone else, simply becos they felt that he has the knowledge and charisma to unite people and get the job done. in a land of trouble like nigeria, it is never about the past or about anybody. it is about getting the job done for the sake of the country. well, we have elected a candidate that has no clue. so, no need to fight, let us just deal with it.
ijaw people have accomplished their goal.

if u are going to build a castle in 4 yr, trust me there will be a sign of it in the first 2 weeks. all the sign jonathan has revealed to us are all signs of failure. don't waste your time expecting anything, he will not produce. you can't ask a man to give what he doesn't have. let us all be honest to one another, for the sake of this country. jonathan has no business in aso rock.

our single issue in nigeria is: stu pid people leading f0olish people. from the top to the bottom, we are all blind.
if you ask me, jonathan has no business in aso rock. we all knew this but too f0olish to be honest to ourselves. american didn't even want jonathan either, because they saw what we nigerians did not see and still can not see. jonathan only got the support of other politicians during the elections simply because nothing is better than having the weakest link as the president. politicians are too scared to have tough competent person as the president. and all nigerians fell for it. my mum is from an ijaw tribe and yet she knew jonathan didn't have what was needed to lead this country.  how i wished many nigerians could understand this fact, but most of us are blind to see the light and understand that it is never about 1 person or 1 tribe or 1 group, it's about nigeria. whether we like it or not this is another wasted 4 yrs ahead of us. jonathan can not and will not produce what we deserve in nigeria.
sorry.
if ijaw people badly wanted the next president from their tribe how come this people did not come up with a smarter, more knowledgeable, tougher and more charismatic candidate?

1 of our problems in this country is, we can not be honest to ourselves for once. Even a 2 yr old knows Jonathan isn't it. But yet some Nigerians are still too f00lish to accept this fact. I can remember that we also went thru the same sh1t when Obasanjo choked us with Yaradua. It took over 4 years before Nigerians finally accepted that Yaradua wasn't the solution.
Today in yankee, Obama's administration seems to be struggling and I bet you that most Americans will not hesitate to accept this and carry their votes somewhere else. But my brothers and sisters in Nigeria will rather go to bed with empty stomach and carry on with the f00lishness while politicians and their families get richer.
it is very sad. I hope we wake up quick enough and start voting for the greatness of this country and not because of people's name.

it is that simple.

[b]OGD would have been arrested
Akala would have been arrested.
Power supply issues would have been addressed openly.
Obasanjo would have relocated to Congo and IBB to Saudi Arabia.
Poor education and medical standard would have been addressed openly.
EFCC would have been restructured to function better.
Pending corruption cases with EFCC would have been re-opened.
All governors would have been more focused on performing
Oladimeji Bankole would have hated his life by now
All fake politicians businessmen would have stepped down one at a time.
Bombing issue would have been tackled from the root.
Aso Rock would have gotten more respect in general.
Discipline in Nigeria would have been more visible.
Corruption would have drastically reduced.
Mustafa would have been given more time to reveal what he knows.
People responsible for the $17b power supply project would have been probed vigorously.
Minimun wage issue would have been addressed.
Annual salaries of the senators would have been re-addressed

Things in general would have been different and more would have been accomplished by now.
Buhari would have proved to all that our problems in Nigeria are fat like a thief's neck, but solution to these problems is very straight forward.[/b]

gbam!

I think it is better for an average Nigerian if things go out of hand. Now thay bomb is becoming very popular may be relevant people/countries will start paying attention to the way our leaders have been taking advantage of their various positions.

They way things are heading may not be bad. More bombing the more leadership in Nigeria will be exposed.
Let us see how far this new MO will last. Jonathan is definitely not the answer.

Take note ladies.

A Muslim person
A humanitarian person
Unmarried and childless person
Brown skinned person
A lawyer
BTW 43 to 45 yrs old
An Igbo or half Yoruba person
A great listener
A modest homebody
Sexy and extremely fashionable
A mentally strong person
A smart and full of self confidence person
An affectionate and loving person

More than anything else, she must be accepted by the children.

if this chick has to be unmarried and childless, does this mean ibb is willing to be daddy again? if yes, i think i may have 1 or 2 candidates.
may be there should be a reality show called "ibb looking for luv"

Disrespecting the dead will not solve anything, but empowers the rest of the people you're calling enemies.

When Abacha died, just like what we are seeing today on Nairaland, Nigerians mostly came out with full force with all kinds of negative comments about the dude (Abacha). Here we are today after almost 15 years still nursing the same sh1t, the same defective system with absolutely nothing changed positively.
What most of us do not understand is, as 1 Abacha dies another 1000 younger Abachas are entering the system left and right. [/b]If it makes you feel good about yourselves, you can carry on and pour out negative comments on these folks as you want, but the fact remains the same; Nigeria as a nation will remain the same until we are all ready to get our lazy behind out there, join hands and work together toward making this country number 1 once again.

Just in case you do not know, [b]FYI: Younger politicians in Nigeria today are more aggressive, corrupt, sharp and have absolutely nothing to offer this country, but yet many of us think they are the solution to all our trouble. I guess, it is true that a blind man is a blind man.
So, you can continue to wait and rejoice as the older ones die out, but I can guarantee you that it doesn't mean anything; their younger replacements are ready to take over and do what you guys love the most (take you for a long ride).

I wonder how long it will take to realize that our issues in Nigeria are bigger than just pin-head politicians, if that wasn't the case Nigerians would have done what Egyptians did a few months ago many years ago. But we have no true leadership among ourselves, no courage, no self respect, no plans, no future; everybody just want to eat and sh1t.

Just look in the mirror.

Augustus Aikhomu did his part, what are your plans?

chikida!, alunta!, makali!, acabar!, aplicar!, acabado, case closed!

i don’t support murder in any way either, but we need to know why al-mustafa was illegally locked up for 13 years. it is totally unconstitutional, this is democracy for crying out loud!

mike closed 4 deals in 4 countries in 1 day and still had time to celebrate with his people in his living rm.

my favorite!

honestly, i'm not surprised by some of the things some people are posting here. Nigeria is a society where people are not always happy for one another. all what I have read about mike on this site mostly says who he is, how he's making it happen, what he has and few other things about his background. i see no butt licking anywhere or any out of place praising going on here. some people can not understand why they can't make it in life. fyi hating others for their various accomplishments usually delays progress in one's life. all I have to say is i'm happy to have a phone service that is not controlled by just indians or lebanese and i'm also happy to buy my petrol from a gas station that is controlled by a nigerian.
if we don't have people like mike who are willing to invest their money in an unstable country like nigeria, politicians would have sold the entire country to chinese.i'm proud to be a nigerian and very proud of any nigerian that gives the country an outstanding name around the world. Mike is known all over Africa and a very good part of the world as a serious and smart businessman. may be we should all be asking ourselves what do we have to offer our country and stop wasting time hating a man that has made his country proud.

@andre hon,
nigeria needs a person like buhari much more than he needs nigeria. he may not have $1b in his uba account, but i'm certain that the general is not a poor man; he's simple, but definitely not poor. infact, i'm starting to think that this dream may come true, but oga jonathan's back must first be against the wall (I mean frustrated) before seeking for the general assistance. let's keep hope alive.

if you think about it well well, appointing buhari will be a win win move for jonathan, but our president thinking level isn't that deep. so, sorry guys, stop dreaming, oga jonathan isn't that smart to make such a powerful decision. let us not forget that our president name is goodluck and not obama. his wife's name is patience umlela and not michelle obama.

our main problem for the past 30 years is corruption and no-one seems to have the right solution for this problem. therefore, the key word is if you want nigeria to be among the developed countries in a very short period, buhari must be appointed to take control of this institution. it is that simple.
we will have light, good schools, employment, good hospitals, good road, good leaders, good followers, in this country only if corrupt is attacked severely but sincerely.
like it or not, buhari looks good or even better than anyone else in this position at this time in nigeria.

i think making this possible will be an indirect revolution that most of us have been asking for.

For Buhari to Head the EFCC, I have the following reservations:
- Mr President and his gang will not have the power to stomach what Buhari will place on the table.
- Nigeria will own the largest prison because all our Politicians will go down.
- I fear the President will be interfering. (Himself may even be on top of the list).

If Buhari becomes the EFCC Chairman, all our politicians will take emergency vacation

nice one

This is one topic current and future politicians hate to come across!

lmao
this is definitely true

wahala don come, lord have mercy. mr big, this is na serious business.
u have my support

without any question both parties in the pic dancing look ridiculous or more like 2 clowns, but i'm sure that the same picture will look better as soon as goodluck man-up and make something positive happen in this country. it isn't dancing competition, oga goodluck just do something correct for nigerian people.

big bravo to dapo.
it is never over until kobojunky sings. i'm sure that you will be back very soon. good luck my brother.

there is nothing wrong with increasing the minimum wage, but the big question is, how come it took this fat neck bleaching machine exactly 4 years to implement and execute this promise?
i think it is only fair for the junky to move his mess out of the state house and allow the newly elected governor to exercise his concepts or ideas.
after all, the bleaching machine had his time, but was just too busy spending state money on searching for the most effective bleaching cream. i beg carry go and let us witness a great work of a true leader.

very simple. pdp will come back alive if Jonathan does the following:
apologize to the hausa for the zoning mess
reach out to relevant hausa leaders
stay clear away from obasonjo
compensate hausa people with ministerial positions
i do not see trouble for pdp in any coming elections. the only problem pdp has at the moment is coming from northerners who feel disrespected because of Jonathan's refusal to acknowledge the same zoning agreement that made him yaradua's vp. i won't count pdpd out as yet. ac can made noise, but pdp is still in control of this country and this may be so for the next 8 yrs or more.

gbawe i think you're the only supporter left. ribadu is a hopeless loser because he speaks with both sides of his @@s. how can you support a desperate power hungry person like this man? gani fawehimi was pulled many times by ibb to join hands, but he refused. sarowiwa was also asked by abacha's team to join hands, but for the sake of integrity, sincerity and love of this country he also refused. these people were the true men of this country, not this noise maker called ribadu.
gbawe, don't ask me, just ask his close friends and they will quickly confirm that ribadu is nothing but a control freak that doesn't give a shiit about nothing but himself and power.

he has lost more than 70% of his supporters during this past presidential election. for anyone to still be pulling for this hopeless loser is ridiculously incongruous.

I can assure you that he will not be allowed to join CPC, simply because CPC is a party for real men who only stand for what is right 24/7 all year round. Ribadu only picks and chooses when it is convenient for him to do what is right.

omg!!!!!
if you honestly know mr. ribadu the above post is the best description of this person ever. even his close friends say the same thing about this person. it is better to lay off politics if you don't know these people and only want to carry sentiment on your shoulder. it seems that this election shocker woke many people up, it exposed the true identity of ribadu. this is what we've been preaching for over 5 yrs. ribadu likes power,  attention and wants control of things more than anything else, his love for this country is not as much as people think. if you meet with his best friend, el rufai on a very good day he will confirm the same thing.another fact is, ribadu isn't that smart as people think. if you listen to him very carefully you will realize that he makes a lot of noise with very little substance. many of his supporters wish he has the quality shekarau attributes on a regular. he will mostly be wasting his time, i don't see any future for him to lead this country any time soon.

Babangida was the one that implemented this election from A to Z; and till today, it was still the best election ever held in this country.
I think we should also be asking ourselves that if Babangida didn't want MKO as our president how come he went out of his way  and allocated enough resources to ensure a peaceful and accurate election?
,
Hmnnn

i'm starting to believe that this bigb guy is not only a smart man, but also an insider. this is the most sensible and realistic topic so far regarding 2011 election

@poster,
at least that is better than obasanjo who use his own loots to lure his son's wife to bed. i even respect ibb more than the old criminal called bode george

chidichris, thanks.
