Keep it coming guys! Anonimi, I like the way you put it out, not just the bones but the flesh right on it! Yes, I see the reference and I will appreciate if contributors can follow this example! Remember, you can only convince people with superior arguments and not some off-handed comment such as: "He is the best!", etc. Readers NEED to know WHY and HOW he is the best!

This is a question which I am curious about! What is IBB's record in government that qualifies him to run this country again? His supporters are free to make a list maybe they will convince me and other Nigerians?

Trace this event of today back several years and you will find the cause: FAILED LEADERSHIP! Guess what? The founder of the most corrupt leadership in Nigeria, IBB, is plotting hard to return to the seat! If successful. . .many Naija people will be taking this kind of flight in a few short years! It will be welcome to FailureVille!

Odun. . .okay I am INTERESTED! Where is your friend in Canada?

By the way, how long has your friend been in Canada? She clearly wasn't born here. . .but let me see your response first!

Pointblanknews.com has leant that there are moves by Ex President Ibrahim Babangida to prevail on the leadership of the PDP to stop returnee ex VP, Atiku Abubakar in his tracks.

According to our sources the return of Atiku has not only split the party down the middle but sent jitters down the spine of the Babangida camp. Even though he has a lorry load of cash, ex and sewrving Governors, ministers, and lawmakers in his flank, the return of Atiku, a formidable mobiliser is no being t taken lightly.

It was gathered that the plot of the IBB think tank is to find of way of infiltrating the top echelon of the party and ensure the statute of the party is invoked concerning returnees to the party.

But the Atiku flank which has a huge war chest running into millions of dollars, has the backing of the formidable PDM group in the party, which was nuttured by late General Musa Yar'Adua. He also has people like Titi Ajanaku, Dubem Onyia, Kareto , Otunba Fasawe, Lawal Keita, Ben Obi and Dapo Sarumi rooting for him.

Pointblanknews.com learnt that the target is the PDP chairman, Vincent Ogbulafor. Shortly after Atiku officially informed the NEC of his return, Ogbulafor was circumspect about the ex vice presidents ambition side by side the stattute of the party.

Article 8.9 of the party's statute says persons who desire to rejoin the party after leaving it, shall, unless exempted by the National Working Committe, be placed on probation for a period of time not less than one year. He is expected to pay his fees with no voting power. Asked if the party would consider the Alex Ekwueme's report of reconcilliation in dealing with Atiku, Ogbulafor emphatically said no. He also refused to comment if Atiku could benefit from a possible waiver.

Atiku also has Ex president, Olusegun Obasanjo, Adamawa state Governor, Murtala Nyako, and Prof. Jubril Aminu to contend with. These men are all beneficiaries of the Babangida regime. Nyako was chief of naval staff, while Aminu was education minister among other positions held.

According to our sources , the Babangida camp is desperately looking for ways to trap Atiku with Article 8.9. If this is bought by Ogbulafor and the PDP, Atiku would be out of contention for at least one year.

Pointblanknews.com learnt that Myako who is one of IBB boys recentlt did a volte face and trashed Atiku's return. Obasanjo is currently disposed to IBB, since he is yet to forgive Atiku for scuttling his 3rd term ambition. Although he would want Goodluck Jonathan to continue, sources say his plan B is IBB. To ensure Atiku is stopped and coast is clear, we learnt, Obasanjo and his men would plot the exit of Ogbulafor, just like he did to Audu Ogbeh.

As IBB and his men fine tunes their startegy, Atiku, it was gathered, is poised to play up the low sides of the babangida regime. They include the death of Dele Giwa, the dissapearance of the gulf war windfall, the Okigbo report, June 12, etc.

To answer your question: Na Kola matter!

As a dim bulb joker who lied his way to power promising to beat anyone in 7 rounds of squash while ceding control to the most corrupt demon of an AGF and an evil cabal, in the process taking Nigeria back to the doldrums!

What a contradiction! So if your are actually throwing a challenge to the youth like you claim, why then go ahead attempting to take over the challenge you just put-up to the youths? A thieving man at 70 cannot be said to be a youth in any way! Anyways, just in a very short while, you will be joining your wife who you claimed asked you to run as president in HELL! Bunch of thieving vagabonds!

Dear Sir: We are non-governmental movement of over 150 members from across the federation whose mandates include the promotion of transparency and accountability in the public and private sectors through multi-stakeholder approaches.
It would be recalled that some civil rights’ groups, Social Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP); Committee for the Defence of Human Rights (CDHR); Access to Justice (AJ); Civil Society Legislative Advocacy Centre (CISLAC); Women Advocates and Documentation Center (WARDC); Human and Environmental Development Agenda (HEDA); and Nigeria Voters Assembly (VOTAS), many of whom are members of this movement sent a petition to your office asking for your prosecution of former military president, Ibrahim Babangida. The group, in the petition dated April 7, 2010, with a threat to go to court to compel your office on the trial of the former military president.

Following this petition on the missing $12.4b oil windfall, Gen. General Ibrahim Gbadamosi Babangida (rtd) was reported to have responded through his spokeman to the effect that he “was not indicted by the Okigbo Report”, and that much of the funds were concentrated on infrastructural development of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. During an in interview in Lagos today, the retired General personally threw a challenge at his accusers to produce evidence of mismanagement against him.

This movement is piqued at the turn of event over the Okigbo report and Babangida’s involvement. Failure of your office and the government to investigate and prosecute people accused of corruption in high places is capable of reinforcing the confidence of Politically Exposed Persons in subverting the interest of the larger society for their selfish purposes. This response of General Babangida is a reflection of the impious attitude of ruling elites towards the country and its people. This trend is unacceptable and must be reversed. The absence of accountability is a fertile system for Impunity, the elimination of which is premised on transparency and accountability.

The purpose of this letter is to reinstate the failure of successive government to officially release the report to the public or adopt a government’s White Paper on the report. It is now on record that our members already forwarded a copy of the report to your office, in a situation where the government’s copy disappeared from government house through government officials. We are therefore, under Nigeria’s commitment to local and international agreements on Good governance and accountability, joining our colleagues to demand the following:
• The release of okigbo’s report and government’s white paper on the report;
• The prosecution of those indicted in the report or issuance of a fiat for private prosecution by your office;

With the expressed commitment of Acting President to sanctioning of corruption and zero tolerance for corruption, we demand translation of these words into policies and actions through effective prevention, investigation and prosecution of cases of corruption in our polity. The declaration of Babangida to run for the post of Nigeria’s President come 2011 is a challenge to the government and the people of Nigeria. Whereas Babangida, as a Nigerian, has his inalienable rights to vie for any office of his choice in the country, Nigerians also have fundamental rights to be informed on the kind of person to lead them through a thorough investigation of their antecedents and past discharge of public trust. Government, as the duty bearer is therefore charged to maintain a balance in this situation.

However, if the above suggested measures are not fully implemented within a reasonable time, we will be left with no option but to mobilise our members across the country for civil disobedience in the demand for accountable-governance in the country


Yours sincerely,

Abdurrahman Ahmad
Chairman
16th April, 2010
The attorney General and Minister of Justice,
Federal Republic of Nigeria,
Federal Secretariat,
Central Business Area,
Abuja.

I noticed in the past couple of threads how threads that criticize IBB are locked by kosovo. . .apparently, such threads are not good for "business". But well, I am too busy to keep tabs on what thread has gone missing or which has been locked for no reason other than it is against IBB! Clearly, the moderator has a vested interest and anyone or any thread that does not support his position will most likely be eventually removed. A moderator who has strong opinions about an issue cannot be expected to fairly discharge his duties when he has a vested interest in the issue. Though I agree anyone can hold any opinion but I support a protest against a biased umpire!

When did NL start deleting threads / comments of others JUST because it does not suit the views of the moderator? Welcome to dictatorship NL in the name of IBB!

Good Luck to British Parliamentary Hopefuls, Chuka Umunna and Kemi Adegoke

Just last week, Britain's Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, went into Buckingham palace to secure a formal right from the British Head of State, Queen Elizabeth II, to announce the date for the next general elections in the country. After a meeting of about 45minutes between the monarch and the highest political office holder in the UK, the latter drove down to his office at the popular No. 10 Downing Street to make a public announcement, before a pool of anxiously waiting newshounds, of the date, May 6 2010, for the general elections.

There is no doubt that it was a piece of news the British public has been keenly anticipating, especially political aspirants who have been girding up their loins for a while, to present a new set of manifestoes and agendas for electorates in order to win their votes into various positions.

No sooner had the electoral timetable been rolled out than the leaders of the three main political parties, Gordon Brown, David Cameron and Nick Clegg, of Labour, Conservative and Liberal Democrat respectively, began their campaign activities which are planned to continue throughout the country till the date of the election.

The forthcoming elections have been predicted by many close watchers and political analysts in the UK to be keenly contested, challenging as well as fun-filled; an expectation, which has given rise to the speculation of a hung parliament in decades, at the end of the electoral exercise. A wide range of issues have contributed to these assumptions, which are Britain’s economic recovery plan, unemployment, policy on tax, NHS, immigration, poverty, violent crime and ethnic minorities engagement in governance, to mention a few.

The first ever leaders’ live television debate has been introduced for the election, an initiative that is hoped would enable the electorates to meticulously choose the kind of leader that should be voted to drive the affairs of their country. One particular point of this election, which looks really fascinating to me, is the seemingly changing face of British politics in relation to the numbers of candidates from different ethnic minorities that have been brought in by the leading political parties for representations at various elective posts. From Labour to Conservative parties, politicians from ethnic minorities have received unusual unanimous nominations for positions, even as parties’ parliamentary standard bearers!

This development has been a subject of divergent views; while a section of the public argues that it is a mere political shenanigan by the parties to win minority votes as a collateral advantage, others are of the opinion that the emerging political balancing is the new irresistible status of Britain as multicultural and tolerant society. I am particularly gleeful to see two candidates, Chuka Umunna and Kemi Adegoke, both of whom are of Nigerian extraction, representing the two leading political parties in Britain; Labour and Conservative.

Chuka Umunna is a brilliant and articulate employment lawyer who continues to enjoy publicity in the British media, as he is often mentioned as a likely replica of an Obama political figure in the UK. Chuka Umunna is Labour’s parliamentary candidate for Streatham in the next elections. The vibrant youthful politician, Chuka, has recently expressed his deep concern alongside Britain’s Foreign Minister, David Milliband on the political situation in Nigeria, especially on issues around the sickness of Nigeria’s President, Umaru Yar’adua, which is shrouded in secrecy. Chuka has reeled out his alluring manifestoes to the electorate in Streatham and its constituency areas, which he has emphasised to be his priorities if elected into the parliament.

Kemi Adegoke, on the other hand, will be representing Conservative party as the party’s parliamentary candidate for Dulwich and West Norwood. No doubt, eyebrows have been raised, especially amongst some Black and other ethnic minority people in the UK on Kemi’s preference for Conservative, a political party that is perceived to have apathy for ethnic minorities. But the highly cerebral systems analyst and lawyer, Kemi Adegoke, will never cease to underscore the weakness of such perception, as she always states that her nomination to represent Conservative in the parliament stands contrary to such notion.

The proactive young female politician also has in her kitty a wide range of beneficial policies for her constituency. Kemi, in a recent interview with Checkout magazine, said she got her political inspiration from the former British First Female Prime Minister and Conservative leader, Margaret Thatcher, a huge political figure who will go down in the world’s political history as the most pragmatic female politician ever produced by British politics.

Miss Adegoke and Chuka Umunna are certainly on their journey to making history in a lot of ways, especially as the first individuals of Nigerian heritage to be elected as Members of Parliament in the UK. Though I am sandwiched between the two different constituencies represented by these illustrious British politicians, my voting right does not extend beyond Streatham, my constituency, where Chuka Umunna represents.

I am, however, going to drum up support for these wonderful fellows in their various constituencies where I know a number of people, not only because I am a friend to both of them; but because they represent the enormous potential and capability of my generation, and the fortitude of people of my age bracket.

I can only wish Chuka Umunna and Kemi Adegoke a Good-luck at the moment, while hoping that the politicians in a country presently and providentially led by a man called Goodluck would borrow a leaf from British politicians, by using the valuable capacity of their younger generation as a resource for national development and economic growth, and not for political thuggery and societal violence that seem to have taken the order of the day in Nigeria.

IBB is going down (with all his paid hacks) faster than a heavy stone in water!

^^^Long time FL!

No, he cannot! This joker paying every hack he can find to "re-brand" his (almost) 70 year old life. . .thinking he can outmaneuver everyone by embellishing his lies. . .maybe telling a lie over-and-over in different words will soon make it sound like or become truth? Hahaha. . .keep at it old man, it's almost midnight!

What a theater of the absurd this looney of a senile old man would show to the whole world? Well, who doesn't know that one of the tricks of an evil man is FLIP-FLOPPING! And is this the joker some compromised NL posters have been championing with outrageous ignorance! Welcome to LoserVille!. . .HAHAHAHA

And is this the joker some compromised NL posters have been championing with outrageous ignorance! Welcome to LoserVille!. . .HAHAHAHA

Wether Jonathan will be adjudged good or bad, time will tell. However, I agree with Kobojunkie on Yaradua! The only thing Yaradua did was to mouth off a silly 7-point agenda slogan he provided no details how it becomes reality! Now, any idiot can declare 5-, 7, 10-, 70- and 100-point agendas like he did! But did he do ANYTHING for Nigeria to change it or make it better? NO!

He lied from the very beginning. . .about his health and that he is so clueless that everything he said was NEVER his idea! He was put there against his will by the combination of IBB, Turai and the coterie of thieves around them! The Uwais report, a job which he commissioned earlier, he couldn't accept its implementation. Meanwhile, while being remote-controlled by Ibori and co, Andoakaa was working hard to destroy any progress Nigeria had made with the fight against corruption, etc! Amnesty? Well, any idiot knows that a lot of the arms given-up was provided by the government for showmanship! I could go on but what did he DO? NOTHING!

Q: Why Is Ibb In The Media Everyday!

A: Because he has bought the media houses and the people who runs such outfits.

This same IBB is master of SETTLEMENT government! Years after, a leopard will still not have changed his spots!

Linusman:
are u saying that all the Nigerians that would put IBB in power in 2011 are Insane? that would be close to 20-30 million Nigerians, do you bother to review your posts before posting? Shocked

So, out of 150 Million people, counting adults who can vote, 20 - 30 Million people will be a majority to vote this thief and dirty scoundrel into power?

By the way, is it not an outrage that a moderator is clearly spinning every thread in IBB's direction, with less than intelligible arguments? A cursory look by a neutral party should make this fact immediately apparent! However, everyone has a right to hold an opinion but a clearly biased moderator should not be moderating over issues for which he has more than a general interest!

Is it not the OLDER generation that IBB belongs to that has ruined the ONLY 1 chance of the younger generation at leading Nigeria? Now he accuses the younger generation of not being able to rule Nigeria? Factually, Obasanjo of the older generation engineered Yaradundu. . .the most inept and clueless human beings to rule Nigeria by proxy but this plot failed and so because of that no younger person can rule? If IBB becomes a candidate in the next elections, GOODBYE Nigeria and indeed, welcome to HELL!

By the way, it's curious to see that some people who were either too young to know anything about June 12 and the events of that time supporting IBB? Or perhaps, NL is now awash with cash-backed or cash-bought posters??

Oh, c'mon people that is NO joke. . .not 1, not 2 comments. . .yet some says it is a JOKE? Okay, so I was in a hurry when I made my posting and I thought to point out that someone would say it was a joke but I forget and now that I got back to my seat. . .people are already suggesting it was a joke? Okay, whatever! If it is truly a joke, I think this is not a particularly good joke and the guy in question actually says, he will keep quiet before he gets insulted! Anywayz, I wish you people luck with this NL thingy. . .hope when a lady you meet on NL gets caught with her pants down, she won't say it was a JOKE and the man BUYS it wholesale!

jenibayo:
Go look my age in my prof am not your mate!

Ok just Lips sealed Lips sealed Lips sealed Lips sealed Lips sealed Lips sealed Lips sealed becos am older than u.

Gud boy

Its OK my son.

NLanders, you see what I was hinting at? Pretentious WOMEN all over NL who have NO CLUE what they WANT even if it SLAPPED them in the face, brain, as.s or puss.y! Jeni, how can you open a 'good' thread only to destroy the progress it made with this useless grandstanding that will do you NO GOOD and piss off A LOT of the men who may even consider dating someone on NL? Well, you live in Austria. . .so your chances, comparatively speaking approaches ZERO but with this attitude you just showed that innocent man. . .even at 90 (I mean actual 90 years), even ordinary male friend will elude you talk less of a boyfriend, husband or marriage! Change your ways now for NOT every man has the patience for your BS and real men can smell useless women from 10,000km away! What a condescending attitude towards someone you don't even know! I wonder what kind of home training Naija girls get today or maybe they are tone deaf like ikun! (eleti ikun)!

Nothing wrong in dating someone on NL. . .but a lot of the ladies who would require this would most likely be residing outside Naija. A lot of Nigerian guys who have been out of Nigeria for any reasonable period of time KNOW that Naija girls metamorphose into someone else as soon as they step into any plane leaving to a foreign country! This may be a reason why a lot of Naija guys rather than waste their precious time and heart on waiting on a NL girl may just rough the weather with ladies they can find where they physically reside and when it is time to marry, off to Naija they go.

But sha, if you are Naija and you reside in a place where there are high population of Nigerian guys and still can't hitch one, YOU have a problem. . .believe me! For, example if you live in London, or some places in the US. . .you better go back to Naija and find someone to get married to!

Personally, I can date a lady from NL if she is a real person not trying to be who she is not.

ayettymama:
queen why do u bother??

this is an obvious generation of monkey and primitive thinkin
most of these fools cant read

they just saw- deny pp and went crazy!
yes so if your wives deny your pathetic selves abeg- go ff the nation- do u! more power to the brainles people! kmt

i hope u now understand why i prefer white chocolate!

You must be the biggest fuc.tard on this NL looking at how base and bereft of any sense you are! You think you are something? You are, nothing. . .fuc.king inconsequential fat-face toad trying to be nothing but a pile of shi.t! You disgust the human race with your extremely stupid comments. . .so you think you have anything called a head talk less of you calling others "brainless people"? The only similitude of "brain" in your amoeba body is the smelly shi.t in your decomposing as.s! What a bottom-sucker sore loser who cannot attract even lice-infested dogs for a date?

queeneve:
The only one way to beat your man or husband without touching him is to DENY HIM intimacy, I betcha he will act right and if he cheats on you, HE WASN'T FOR YOU AT THE BEGINNING,

If he wants to play game, Gently remind him IT TAKES TWO TO PLAY A GAME,

Check it boo!

This very bottom-of-the-barrel picking of a smelly puss.y will get a LOT of YOU hair-heads killed with no parents to look after your unfortunate children! How does this make ANY sense you dumb-fuc.king retarded Bleep.tard evil smelly beast! Since when has "beating" your husband solved any problem? Is this all your empty-barrel brain learned from your mother? What a waste you are. . .for maggot-infested dog-shit is waaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy better off than your disgusting fuc.king lunatic! Your prayer to amadioha, egbesu, sanponna, esu laalu ogiri oko. . .is NOW answered! You will HAVE to REAP what you have sown! Your husband/BF will cheat on you and will come back to give you a worse sickness than AIDS/Gonorrhea/syphilis/herpes (all types). . .which you will transfer to your whole family!

You guys will meet up in hell. . .where the devil will eat your soul for dinner! IDIO.T! For you zombie women with not brains, be her guest by accepting this 'wise' counsel!

Sun of god:
Chinky Chong no dey fear yahoo boys,

Fuc.king motherfuc.king bottom-sucker. . .is that your first comment / response to a friendly post on this forum? Your lunatic brains should be spilled with all the guns in the world for you are a waste of space! 

Ebonyeyes:
Just have to open your eyes, some just want the papers and will divorce you as soon as they get the papers.

@Ebony. . .I read your post in the other thread but no time to sit down yet to write a response.

See, I will confidently say that MAJORITY of decent Nigerian guys DO NOT need papers or whatever documents to live in a foreign country, whatever country it is! Look, I like many Nigerian guys (this including A LOT of my friends) wish to find decent and real women! This is definitely easy in Naija but in a foreign country, it is a different ball game! You know what? Last year, two of my friends had to go to Nigeria to get married. . .and one did it in the most ridiculous way! Is it that there is NO Nigerian woman here that he will get married to a lady who was just a friend in the real sense of the word: FRIEND. They were not dating before he came here but now, they have their first baby! This is a correct, well-educated and paid guy some clueless lady should have held on to but like they say, pride goes before a fall! Some Nigerian men may be be "bad" in some sense but we are still way better in our attitude and way of life than our women, especially in a foreign country! You know one of the biggest problems Nigerian women have: A HUGE LOAD OF EMPTY PRIDE AND silly WESTERNIZED ATTITUDE that won't abate until she is way into her late thirties. Tell me, what hard working, smart and goal-getting Naija man would want a woman who is already OLD (yes, even just at 30!), giving out her womanhood to anything only to turn around to HATE Naija men?

For example, read this thread again and see how Nigerian women are quick to castigate Nigerian men, to make us less desirable. . .even when we are wanted by other women. . .this is what they will be doing until it is quarter to midnight!

Ebonyeyes:
Internet thug, I bet the only highlight of your day is to virtually bully young girls who express any opinion. Here is a medal for you.

LOL. . .some people have a crazy sense of twisted humor. . .well, I didn't really mean most of that. . .but let Kanu marry whoever he likes without criticizing him. If he doesn't marry / marry on time, people will talk; if he marries an older lady, people will talk; if he marries a short or tall one some people will complain; now he marries a sweet sixteen, people will still talk, if he marries he London, people will complain; he marries in Nigeria, some people will still complain. . .so how can he please everyone, Ebony?

Ebonyeyes:
I believe she was 18 at the time right? We really dont know the innings of their marriage/relationship so we really cant say anything about it.

My only criticism is his running back home to marry a girl.

I say SHAARRRAAAAP DIA! Who you be to criticize him for for his decision to "run" back home to marry whoever? Look, this transgendered-amoeba. . .your cup is almost filled-up now and you will see you're FINALLY screwed! If his choice dey vex you, is it anyone's fault that your pathetic low-life cannot hitch a half-descent creature wherever the hell-hole you're hiding. . .for the past half a century and you're now screaming blue-murder about someone's marriage choice? Either you relocate so Naija to have a chance, clean-up your dirty act and stop lamenting the inability of you and your co-travelers to get married or go to Naija and marry anything you see! However, spare us the balderdash of reading your angry and frustrating rant!
