All the people who supported this idiotic government decision should be rounded up and shipped to Ghana. My worst fears about Professor Charles Soludo have been confirmed. He is not qualified to be called an economist.

Are we talking about the same Soludo, that eased Inflation, Stabilized the Nigerian Economy, and ensured that the Foreign Reserved were properly Managed.

I don't care how bad you think Nigeria is, or where you come from, or how poor of a standard of living you get. Soludo wasn't voted Africa's Best Central Bank Governor for no reason.

God Bless Charles Soludo.

Nigeria wouldn't have to re-dominate the Naira in the first place, if he had been CBN Governor from Independence, till date.

Nigeria's Inflation has been worserning from Independence, but as soon as he cam into office, it eased. The Nigerian economy, is growing steadily and gearing up for 12.5% growth annually. The standard of living in Nigeria has increased. Yet people question his leadership.

k0be:
you expected 100% of the population to care about a country that doesn't care about their well-being? People will always work for their gain, but it doesn't help when the people we chose as leaders don't do the jobs expected of them.

Last time I checked, a country comprises of Citizens. A country is not an entity and never will be. What do Nigerians just expect to lounge in Surulere and expect the Government to be honest, regarding funds etc.

Yah know, lets just lounge and expect things to be alright, and if things aren't will just migrate to a place where things are.

The problem with Nigeria rests largely with the government, to deny it would also be hypocritical.

And the limitations of a Government, is determined by the citizens of the country. I.e The Philippines, France.

Who knows where Nigeria would be today, if it weren't for Indian Prostitutes..

Nothing will change in Nigeria, until Nigerians change it. Nobody else will.

Last I checked, the ideologies of Governments, are influenced by the societies that they emerge from.

Haba bros! How could you say a thing like that?
Well, i still believe that 'Rome wasn't built in a day'.
Funny enough, a lot of things are happening in Naija and time would reveal those great things.
However, i think the problem that has left Naija in 'da mess' is the 'Managerial skills of the Government' so far, but alas! things are changing (probably slowly, but surely.)

My Point exactly. It will take Decades before Nigeria can reach such a feat.

There is no African country that is developed. South Africa is developed Infrastructural wise, but close to 50% of South Africa's population live below the poverty line, and crime is rampant.

I'm just saying, that even the most stable of the Emerging economies, is still a far cry from being a developed country.

So only a slowpoke, would think Nigeria will be a developed country any time soon. Unless of course we get an angel for a President.

Brazil isn't a developed country and neither is Singapore, China or India.

Let us not be naive

Tribalism + Homophobia = Sad situation.

FYI. I am not a Tribalist. I simply hate it when people base their decisions on Arabian Mythologies.

Homophobic, maybe but I am not a Tribalist.

Sorry for my poor selection of Vocabulary.

My Sister

Why Did God Plant That Tree In The Garden Of Eden?

Answer: So that a bitch called Eve, could convince her spouse to Feast on the fruit of the tree with her, and the Human race; be damned forever.

Screw you nigga.

Who gives a damn how many homosexuals there are.

The problem isn't the Homosexuals, it's the Goddam conservative people of Northern Nigeria.

We live in the 21st century for goodness sakes.

Sharia is a prehistoric law, written by Home Erectus Arabians.

Get with the times.

Homosexuals are immoral, but conservative morons, that stone people to death for petty crimes are more immoral.

What's up with niggaz and Brawls.

What's wrong with me.

Why Won't Nigerians Badmouth Nigeria, when the vast majority of the population are only interested in their personal well being.

If every man did something for personal gain, every time they could, knowing that it would bring hurt upon someone else. Then the world would be full of corrupt people.

A people willing to destabilize societies, simply for their gain, is a corrupt people and a corrupt society. And a corrupt society is why we have goddam corrupt leaders.

The problem with Nigeria isn't the Government, it's common Nigerians. So to insult Nigeria, would be hypocritical

k0be:
Lol, you're a very funny guy.
They're not "only interested in lavish lifestyles," they're simply taking advantage of, and embracing the luxuries provided to them. Would you opt for an ijapa when you know you could very well own a lamborghini? it's that simple. People love material things sure, but a lot of them didn't set out on the trip to another country because they have an undying "want" for material things.

Yeah it's so easy to go to America, and enjoy the achievement s of other people.

Yeah it's so easy to sabotage hundreds of years, of hard fought battles simply because some people are unwillingly to fight for what they should believe in. America isn't packed full of jobs, waiting for Migrants to exploit. 12.5% of Americans live below the Poverty line, and that figure is only going to increase, due to an overwhelming influx of people into the country.

America's standard of living is decreasing not increasing. And Over Migration doesn't help.

Yeah sure they need Migrants for Menial jobs, but I don't think America has 1n Billion Toilets.

Nigeria isn't half as old as America or Britain, and those countries aren't where they are today because of people migrating with Green Cards, when things aren't convenient.

I wonder where Britain would be today if Churchill had taken a Green Card to America, when the Germans invaded Britain. Yah know Britain needed his Leadership, but he was on vacation in New Jersey, Singing about how much he loved Greener Pastures.

[size=14pt]Tribunal Throws Out Buhari's Motion[/size]

The Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal yesterday struck out the motion brought at the instance of the presidential candidate of All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP), Major General Muhammadu Buhari, seeking to nullify the election of President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua faced multiple motions against his election at the tribunal.

Some of the motions confronting the legitimacy of President Yar'Adua included the ones by ANPP, Arthur Nwankwo of the Peoples Mandate Party (PMP) and All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) filed by Dim Odimegwu Ojukwu. Ojukwu's petition will now be heard on August 23.

At yesterday's sitting, General Buhari had, through his counsel, Mike Ahamba (SAN) applied to withdraw the motion seeking to nullify the entire election.

He said he decided to withdraw the motion because of recent developments especially whereby motions were being proliferated.

Presiding judge, Justice James Shobe, who said that the tribunal takes precedence over any other suit with the Supreme Court on vacation, consequently struck out the motion. He, however, advised lawyers to fast-track pre-hearing processes.

The motion had requested the tribunal to enter judgment against the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and all its officials who were sued over the presidential election.

Buhari had hinged the motion on the alleged failure of the INEC and its officials to file replies to the main petition.

Chief Ahamba also vehemently opposed the application by the police for the extension of time within which to file statement of defence, saying it was out of time for the police to come into the matter as the motion was out to frustrate the petition.

He said that he filed an affidavit in opposition of the motion as soon as it was served on him.

He told the court that he had served the process of the court on former president Olusegun Obasanjo, adding that up till yesterday Obasanjo had not protested the mode of service.

On the petition filed by Arthur Nwankwo against the election of President Yar'Adua, counsel to the respondent, Yusuff Ali (SAN) said he was not served with the copy of the petition.

But counsel to the petitioner, E. Edecheme said that he actually served Izinyon in court at the last sitting on Friday.

Edecheme said that he was to effect the service on Wole Olanipekun (SAN) but there was a directive from the senior counsel to receive the process. "(Last) Friday, Izinyon endorsed the copy. As a matter of fact I gave a copy to Kanu Agabi when he requested for one," he said.

Ali insisted that he did not get any service and that when a copy allegedly endorsed by Izinyon was given to him, he quickly spotted an error to the effect that the same process was endorsed on August 19, which is a future date.

He said that the said Friday Izinyon signed the document was very strange to the legal team of Yar'Adua.

He informed the court of a pending motion asking the court to decline jurisdiction and said that he was ready to move the motion.

Hearing in some the motions continue today while some had been adjourned till next week.

President Yar'Adua was declared winner of the April 21 presidential poll by INEC, a situation that caused the petitioners to approach the tribunal to correct what they called a fraudulent exercise.

According to the result declared by INEC, Yar'Adua polled 24,638,063 to beat others including Buhari and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.

Initially, Buhari said he would not waste time litigating on the election, as a similar effort to upturn Obasanjo's election in 2003 did not produce any result.

But his party, the ANPP insisted that he must join it in the petition. But not long after, Buhari and the ANPP split their petitions at the tribunal.

Also yesterday, tribunal fixed August 23 for hearing in the petition of APGA Presidential candidate, Chief Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu.

In the petition, Ojukwu is asking the tribunal to nullify the April 21 Presidential polls on the grounds that it was not conducted in compliance with the 1999 Constitution.

He also alleged that the declared winners of the polls, President Yar'Adua and his Vice, Dr Goodluck Jonathan, were not qualified to contest, having failed to resign their offices as governors of Katsina and Bayelsa, respectively.

The tribunal, presided over by Justice James Ogebe, specifically fixed Aug. 23, for hearing of two motions, both seeking a dismissal of the petition. The motions were respectively filed by Mr Yusuf Ali (SAN) counsel to Yar'Adua and Jonathan, and counsel to INEC, Chief Kanu Agabi (SAN).

In the motion, they contended that the petition was defective and in clear breach of express provisions of the Electoral Act 2006.

They also said that the petition was not properly constituted on

the ground that the institutions necessary for its just determination were not made parties.

In another development, hearing in the petition of PMP against the election of Yar'Adua and Jonathan was stalled because of problem of service.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that when the petition was mentioned before the tribunal today, Ali said that his clients had not been served with the petition.

The tribunal directed a proper service of the petition on Yar'Adua and Jonathan through their lawyer and adjourned till Aug. 22, for further mention.

The petition was filed by PMP, its presidential candidate, Dr. Arthur Nwankwo and running mate, Alhaji Muhammad Abdullahi.

The petitioners alleged that the April 21 presidential poll was vitiated by non-compliance with mandatory statutory requirements and massive rigging. Consequently, they said, none of the candidates was entitled to be returned.

HE better not even dream about a Coup.

You're welcome.I tried modifying the You but oga seun no gree.

That's the Funny thing about his stance on "Good English"

It backfires.

Wouldn't do anything cos it aint happening.


WWYD If you were scammed online?

Which clarifies my point.

98% of Nigerians are only out for material things.

If I asked every Nigerian if they would let Nigeria be blown up for a Billion dollars. The majority of people would say yes.

My problem, is not with people leaving Nigeria. I mean I don't live in Nigeria. My problem is that Nigerians in Diaspora, are only interested in Lavish lifestyles.

What will they do, if Britain, America and other Developed countries become Moribund, due to Over Migration. Will they go in search of other Galaxies.

When the going gets tough, the pussies get going.

Thanks for the alphabets Nana.

I pasted it in Notepad.

So because of 0.2% of Nigerians, 98% of Nigerians, are sweating blood trying to leave.

What are we pussies.

For crying, out loud our country is our responsibility. No one else's.

That's why it's called Nigeria, not PDP, or ANC

If there are injustices in the system, then we must protest it. A country with a right system, cannot fail.

Yeah.

Thank you so much.

Now all I have to do is memorize it, and then try not to forget it.

Hey Nana

How do you say.

1 to 20

I only knew 1 to 10, when I was schooling in Nigeria.

I was born in Jos, so I never really had time to learn Yoruba, until 1997, but I left Naija in 2001.

So now I don't know any Numbers, except for 1,2,3 and 6

Hey Nana.

I'm ready.

Yo

Nana. How bout some Yoruba lessons.

True that.

Lala. Wetin u dey store for esnips

Nana(h) Overload.

Uhhh.

This thread is incorrect.

Every Nigerian Bad Mouths Nigeria.

I'd say only 2% of the population love this country. 98% would leave the country if they were handed free visas. And people wonder why Nigeria is where it is today.

Greener Pasture Dickheads.

Mo da.

Hey Lala. You need to teach me more yoruba.

My Vocab is limited

Ejo

Beat up as many people as possible.


WWYD If your mum was having an affair with you best friend.

Yeah the Movie's Okay.

Hey Lala. How Far.
