this will definately make him live longer. wish me the best.

I CANT BELIEVE ABATI IS SPILLING OUT ALL THESE FROM HIS MOUTH.
FOR RECORDS, UR MAN HAS BEEN ON THAT SEAT FOR MORE THAN A YR NOW.

Beaf:
Why lie that the FCT minister and govs now sell kerosine? Desperation sha!

This is about cutting out the distributors and thieves that hoard kerosine and cause artificial scarcities / impossible price hikes. Its really shameful that anyone would even think of condemning the initiative.
NNPC is moving to cut out the middleman and sell directly to the people. If the crooked distributors can compete, then let them sell at a lower price.

I strongly believe that the reason why its being hoarded is because its simply not readily available. I doubt if what we have in stock is enough for the whole nation. let the government flood the market with kerosene and lets see who will hoard. every seller wants to make profit and they will eventually see that hoarding isnt to their advantage.

This selling method is simply for some selected areas and there are still many many parts of this nation with no kero. This approach isnt the best bet at all and i doubt if its sustainable.

There is nothing wrong having middlemen. the reason why the middlemen seems to be playing pranks is because they know that the available kero isnt sufficient for the nation and that explains their exploitation

I for one will continue to search for the truth but for now none. Wish me luck

^^^^ u av not answered my tyre question oooo

[quote author=dem_people link=topic=729424.msg8899201#msg8899201 date=1313050964]I'm never prejudiced as to deviate from presenting the truth unlike many of the posters on this thread who've posted with very conspicuous ethnocentric views. I had the benefit of researching a lot of materials in other to arrive at my postings. You should also have this benefit. Also, you should have the prerogative of disagreeing with my post where necessary however, it won't make me change my views of the trio. [/quote]well, i have done my own bit of research and i seem not to get anything new for now apart from what we all have been brandishing all over this thread. Remember i did say earlier in my first post that i am interested in knowing.
Secondly, what then is the benefit of forums like this if we cant learn one or two things from ourselves?
Abeg spill the result of your research for all to see and gain from especially me. i'm not interested in disagreement most especially if i see facts.

OK Mods, its time to delete this thread. It has turn to something else.

i honestly dont av any issue with it in as much as he is qualified. what catches my attention though is the portfolio. Adviser on special duties, hmmmmnnnn, interesting 

Good. hopefully this will stop his family members from fighting over his properties at least for now.

why do u think billions of naira is appropriated to the state house yearly if not for things like this.

This comment was simply unfortunate but honestly i had to laugh.  

[quote author=dem_people link=topic=729424.msg8898647#msg8898647 date=1313043370]There have been many similar topics opened on NL about Zik's contribution to Nigeria. Its a shame we still discuss such things. Let me dissect.

I admire Awolowo for his evidencial love for his people. This love translated into physical development in the Western region however, I despise him for his contributions to ethnocentric politics. He sowed the seeds of high mistrust between Ndigbo and the Yorubas. No other person has contributed to the division of Southern Nigeria than Awolowo himself.
Awolowo would've sealed the unity between Ndigbo and the Yoruba by co-operating more with Igbo politicians afterall, Ndigbo share a lot more with the Yorubas than the core North but, he NEVER did this instead, engaged in ethnocentric politics which caused major divisions in ideologies between him and Zik. A chance manifested for Awolowo to unite with Ndigbo through Biafra but instead, he dealt a blow to this unity by deliberately institutionalizing a policy which saw many Eastern Nigerian (mainly Ndigbo) children starve to death. Ndigbo and the Yorubas are the most progressive ethnic groups in Africa but Awo is the main reason of the distrust and damage to the unity between the two groups.

I admire Zik for his pro-Nigeria stance. Unlike Awolowo who was very pro-yoruba and anti-Nigeria, Zik was not actually anti-Igbo but actually very pro-Nigeria to the detriment of his own people Ndigbo. It could be said that while Awolowo focused all his energy to the development of the Yoruba wellbeing, Zik did so for the development of Nigeria and not Ndigbo - and this is one of the reasons why Ndigbo hate him as a leader.

On the other hand, Bello was a despot who never saw Southern Nigeria as a region to be co-operated with but, as a region to be conquered and dominated thereby, sowing the seeds of "Born to rule" mentality that pervades the attitude of the core north to Nigeria's governance (from independence days till 2011 election period). Bello, like Awo, must be commended for his love for his people but both weren't pro-Nigeria enough as Zik was.

All in all, though Zik was hated by Ndigbo, he's the best of the trio when viewed from a Nigerian non-regional point of view. Awo would've had my vote if viewed from a regional point of view. Bello was the odd one here.

For most of you who argue against Zik's importance, you're indeed doing so from a hindsight point of view and not during Zik's heydays in politics. If Nigeria had worked-out as a country in development of its infrastructure, people and a homogeneous culture then I've got no doubt that Zik would've occupied the status of a demigod.[/quote]dempeople, the bolded is the main reason for this thread which still hasnt been answered. what exactly are the specific things ZIK did for the development and unification of this nation that the supposedly regional leaders didnt do also?

ITS GETTING CLEARER TO ME NOW. nO WONDER THE FAMILY HAS STARTED FIGHTING THEMSELVES AS IT RELATES TO HIS PROPERTIES

iyatrustee:
i hope all this men here truly practise what they preach? my own husband would not do any house chores oh. infact last night he woke me up in the middle of the night to give him water from the frigde in our room to drink!

so becos u arent privilege to have a husband that does such you feel we may not be sincere right? well each to his own.

i help my wife out constantly and i dont see myself stopping in the nearest future.

chaircover:
It depends on the husband. Some men are very hands on and even put their wives to shame in the housework department.

I think it depends on upbringing too; all the boys brought up in my family are excellent cooks. Our parents brought us all up the same and the boys can cook and the[b] girls can change tyres. [/b]

I have however seen families where the boys are treated like gods. These are the ones who go on to marry and expect their wives to wait on them hand and foot.

At the end of the day we are only human and any man who decides to let his wife slave day and night without him lifting a finger is only cutting his wifes life short,  inviting health problems & pretime aging for his wife. Its his choice.

He can have an exhausted & snappy wife or a content and happy wife who has time to be a wife in other areas not just housework.

chaircover, be honest. do ur know how to do this? when last did u do it?

God forbid!!!! Igbos leaders can never be part of anything yaroba nor NADECO. Right from the time of the Great Zik, igbos never had anything in common with yarobas, it has never happened and it will not happen because we don't have anything in common with you Yorubas. NADECO is 100% yaroba for their selfish and tribalistic agenda. NADECO being yaroba leaders collected bribe to have almajiris to slaughter abioala . You guys can never be trusted, backbiters, devilish, cannibals, betrayal, barbarism and all.

u are simply ranting. no comment.

NADECO is 100% Yorubas. So that being said, you cannot separate NADECO from the so called Yoruba leaders

NADECO as at then and even now comprises both yoruba and igbo leaders and even SS among whom was Arthur Nwankwo. u get my drift now

^^^^^

maga u don reach here again with your propaganda. ok read this again,


The prosecution counsel said: “I put it to you that Arthur Nwakwo, a member of NADECO, who is not a Yoruba was in the video. That is to say that those visitors were not Yoruba leaders but NADECO leaders.”

In his response Mustapha said: “In my evidence, I mentioned Opadokun, Chief Ige and Adesanya that were in the video. I did not say they are Yoruba leaders. I said leaders. I don’t know any Arthur Nwakwo or any other persons in the video.”

He said though he was not there when Abiola died, but to cover up his death in detention, most of his (al-Mustapha) vital documents and evidence to show that Abiola was murdered were seized from him by the military administration of Gen Abubakar.

Here is mustafa verbatim:

If Igboman came to collect money for almajiris killings your kinsman, now tell me what that tells about you dirty yoorobas. So you yoorobas are so greedy, cannibals and barbaric.

typical mugu like u. left some part of the story for another. se it again below,


LAGOS — Major Hamza Al-Mustapha, former Chief Security Officer, CSO, to the late Head of State, Gen. Sani Abacha, yesterday, at a Lagos High Court recanted his earlier allegation that Yoruba leaders were given money by the Abdulsalami Abubakar administration in order to douse the growing tension then in the South West following the death of Chief M.K.O. Abiola.

In his testimony under cross examination, al-Mustapha, who is on trial for alleged conspiracy in the murder of Abiola’s wife, Kudirat, on June 4,1996, admitted that the video clip played did not show where the leaders were allegedly collecting money but maintained that Gen. Abubakar requested for money from the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, to settle some people after the death of Abiola.


al-Mustapha arrives Lagos High court Igbosere
The CSO denied ever saying he had in his possession a VHS tape showing where money was being shared to Yoruba elders, noting: “I only said money was brought. Somebody is deliberately playing with the prosecution.”

He also told Justice Mojisola Dada that he was not aware that the team led by the late Pa Abraham Adesanya visited Abubakar as Yoruba leaders or as representatives of NADECO.

He also told the court that he was not present at the scene where Abiola died in custody, but maintained that the circumstances of his death posed serious challenges to the former Head of State, Gen. Abubakar and the nation’s security.

To get to the root of how Kudirat was murdered, he requested the police to produce the report on the investigation of the murder of Kudirat.

The prosecution counsel said: “I put it to you that Arthur Nwakwo, a member of NADECO, who is not a Yoruba was in the video. That is to say that those visitors were not Yoruba leaders but NADECO leaders.”

In his response Mustapha said: “In my evidence, I mentioned Opadokun, Chief Ige and Adesanya that were in the video. I did not say they are Yoruba leaders. I said leaders. I don’t know any Arthur Nwakwo or any other persons in the video.”

He said though he was not there when Abiola died, but to cover up his death in detention, most of his (al-Mustapha) vital documents and evidence to show that Abiola was murdered were seized from him by the military administration of Gen Abubakar.

Chino, u see how deceitful ur life can be?

ooo boy, u av a point there. maybe sha.

chino11:
You yooorobas are the still the bribe taker killers, because you cannot divorce NADECO from yooroba leaders, since they are one and the same people, dirty people

no doubt, some yorubas do take bribe like any other tribe and in this case in question it wont be out of place that if truly these guys were bribed, Arthur Nwankwo (and Igbo man) also partook since he was part of the delegation. fair enough.

chino11:
"He, however said these, including what he claimed were recordings of the last minutes of the late MKO Abiola’s life and that of the meeting where money were allegedly shared among Yoruba leaders, were taken from him by security agents whom he said ransacked his residences in Abuja, Kaduna and Yobe states."




He should be allowed to continue talking. yoorobahs are devilish, dirty, greedy, cannibals, barbaric and backward. They are the worst people to deal with. Imagine how they collected money to have their brothers slaughtered by the almajiris.

Mugu, the maga in u wont allow you to see the part where Arthur Nwankwo was part of the delagation that visited the state house after the death of Abiola. so in ur own "mumulity", you av simply concluded that Arthur is a yoruba man.

now i can confirm that you are going nuts and i rest my case on you for now for more profittable things this morning. you are reffering to Gani Adams and shettima (leader of a regional youth org) has historians. ode buruku.

^^^^ . bring facts and not mere allegations. any fool can allege anything just like u are presently doing.
by the way who and where was Gani Adams when all these were evolving? secondly what do you expect Mustapha fellow hausa man to say than to agree with him. abegi try again, u no try with this at all.

Honestly, i am beginning to have a rethink. i think this guy should be released most especially now that the prosecution seems not to have anything to nail him directly to the killing of Late Kudirat Abiola.

^^^^ i heard that also. I think this guy in question is lying.

This is for that ODE called Chino.
