i have absolutely nothing against Ribadu but i have my fears about him that makes me prefer Buhari.

1) I see him as someone under Tinubu's leash. believe me, it may be difficult to escape from such.
2) i still believe he has a soft spot for the ruling PDP party. After being chased from the country during yaradua's time, this same govt (GEJ) brought him back and i think pardoned him (if at all he committed any offence in the first instance).
3) i for one wants to know what has happened so far to all the funds expended on the power project all these years. The Yaradua govt did probe but no serious results from them. Buhari has promised that he will but Ribadu seems not interested.

Above all, i need a President with no strings attached. Some1 that has no leash on his neck. GEJ definately doesnt fit into such, Ribadu i fear has some level in my own estimation but in Buhari i see a very independent person who has no one to report to but the Nigerian public.

Just my 2 cents.

If really buhari is who u re all hypn him to be, y is it dat it is now dat buhari has recognised d super eagles nd d masses. Where he dey all dis y. Abi na only election period dem dey watch match. Nd stop sayn he is humble. D likes of fashola nd tinubu took okada when they came to ibadan to campaign. If he is really humble make he enta lagos street nd do some trekkn.

He has always recognized both the masses and the super Eagles. This humble man lives in Daura and i am sure watches the eagles matches. Or have you heard of the super eagles playing in katsina and you not seeing Buhari there (if at all there is a stadium there )

When the going gets tough the tough get going
tarry awhile and things will get better, the market is bloody at present and anyone who is selling now is likely making a loss.

My bro, i hear u. na jeje i dey when those useless sellers came to me ooo. If i had known, i would have followeb my inner mind. God is still on the throne.

Wallie:
I don’t know how many of you have actually being through a formal debate but preparation is one of the main factors of being successful. Seeing the questions before hand allows any slightly competent person to craft perfect responses.

I think the opposition should demand that the questions be made available to all the candidates so as to put them on equal footing or that they should each submit a couple of questions just before the debate that questions will be drawn from. This way, nobody can be accused of cheating!

You mean open book exam eh

Chai, GTBank N19; Access Bank N9; Zenith Bank N15

When will i break even for Xt's sake eh?

Well, i for one will definately not watch another arranged kokolette debate organized by BON. I am not even convinced that GEJ doesn't even have the questions already in his possession knowing fully well that was the real reason why he didnt attend the NN24s.
All were set initially and Doyin okupe was present all through and for GEJ to suddely changed his mind citing a flimsy accessiblity excuse is totally unacceptable
Anyway, he shouldbe excited that he wont be alone. he has the likes of Momodu and Okotie to debate with.

Interesting. Looks like Garden Egg

^^^^Anyway, i dont want to drag this more than neccessary because i really understand u. Seun himself knows we have such in our midst as you can see above and he should be thinking fast on what to do.
Communities dont allow lepers to be within their vicinity. there should be a way of sieving these guys. there is a saying that goes somehow thus: "A sheep that roams with the dog go chop shit". Food for thought

aisha2:
Foul language is foul language, can we not interact without insults?

so how do we get rid of idiots in our midst? since your own way (banning and unbanning) is simplyly not working

aisha2:
I can only remove the foul languages and insults cannot close the thread. In the last weeks me and my co moderator have been subject to worse scrutiny. There is nothing against the forum rules in that thread, the only thing i see wrong is the use of foul language which i am going to work on.

emmn, Aisha just a question, what of if the "foul" language is exactly what the person in question is? One should be sincere u know

Osgilliat:
so you all dont know snake tomato,shame on ya.go back to school.

Whats there to be shameful about

Papabrowne, i like your analysis but i dont neccessary agree with it. However, just few things to sort out

PapaBrowne:
Lets do a scenario analysis! Imagine for a moment that after Ribadu/Adeola become president, the militants return to the creeks and start blowing up pipelines and reduce our oil production to near zero, limiting the capacity of the FG to deliver on its promises. Now can you give me a picture on how these two non-political types would seek to handle it?? You would be needing the strong men of the Niger Delta (most of whom are extremely corrupt) to prevail on the militants to sheath their swords! Are they capable of commandeering the respect of these strong men?? These are real questions and it can be applied to many facets of the problems we face!! My fear us that on getting to Abuja, these two men would realise the mess that the country is and would succumb to the mess!!

I honestly detest seing this word. To me, i will call them criminals. Dont get me wrong here, i know (because i am located there) that there are legitimate concerns in the ND but its obvioust to all that these chaps arent agitating for the benefit of the people they claim to be for, instead its really for themselves.
Secondly, some of them are back there, remember the bomd blast that happened in Agip location just of recent. Any Nigerian that is focussed and determined can ultimately solve the ND problem, its not a must that such must be from ND afterall, it was an Northern man that gave the amnesty in the first place even though i have always known that to be cosmectic in nature.

PapaBrowne:
You've asked a good question for once. And I have only one answer.

MTN, GLO, AIRTEL are doing business in such an unfriendly environment where bribes are required every three seconds., And a host of other investors are lining up like its a gold rush!! FYI, MTN made sales of over $5 billion in Nigeria and made 5 times more profits than the behemoth called Facebook made in 2009.

Anybody that wouldn't want to do business in such a country would have himself to blame!!

good one you have up ther no doubt but the question here is at whose expense? Its no news that Nigerians pay heavily to maintain their Phones. I doubt if our fellow africans pay as much as we do for each second we use to communicate. Govt should be responsible enough to fight for our cause in this regard all these years.

Tinax:
which one is snake tomatos, does it hv another common name hr??

Better stiil, someone should kindly show us how it looks like.

samstels:
Gents,
Akwa Ibom state is surely for PDP.

Reason:Akpabio Godswill has done marvelously well in terms of developing the entire state

I do not see any strong opposition in that state just like Rivers state , so i think the ACN might be going violent just to attract sympathy.

Let the truth be told where it is glaringly clear, PDP governors in some states tried in terms of good governance.

States like Rivers ,Akwa Ibom ,Ebonyi , thats the one i know.

Ok got u?but is it true that your principal is not allowing his opponents to campaign in his senatorial district?

THE BLACKBERRY/LAPTOP WHERE PDP (RIP) BUY FOR ME? OLE

Abegii attribute that to ROSSIKE. na im talk am

In addition, looking at the picture and taking note of where the baby is in the belly of the python, its definately not a 5-10mins meal on the part of the snake. The snake definately took its time to devour to that extent and where exactly was the mother all through these period. the deed is already done and cant be undone. its just a lesson for those of us who are alive and for those with kids to learn from. May the lord comfort those in pains. really sad.

@ Rossike

Abegii talk to me in megawatts. where were we at the commencement of this goverment and were are we now? You claim industries are the priority, ok if this is so (becos i doubt itwith all certainty), how many of the dead industries as a result of lack of power has been resuscitated and how many of the industries which are still existing depends on PHCN? What poll are you talking about? please refer me to such because i am not privy to such. whatsoever that comes from such polls doesnt change the fact power supply hasnt improved to the best of knowledge. i am not a diasporan neither do i go and come. i am on ground here ok, at least for now.

i agree it will be wrong of me to deduce that PDP has been idling around all these years but however when i am to compare their so-called achievements in all the sectors we have presently as against the resources (human and monetary) over these years, its pure failure on their part. Our potentials have been wasted all these years. it wont be out of place if i deduce that most of those resources during this time frame hasnt been for the benefit of the general populace.
you dey talk of ipad, BB as if all those were in existence then?

And you can continue to swim in your river of deceit that is your cup of tea. were those 6 or seven plans of yours initiated and implemented by GEj. even if its so it doesnt change the fact that its just a tip of what we would have achieved all these while if not for the so called peeps we call leaders. To whom much is given, much is expected. Pdp has have in their disposal all these years the kind of resources Nigeria has never had and what do we have to show so far for it ode buruku.

You got that right no doubt. My vote will definately not go for them and its left for other Nigerians to chose whoever they want but dont come here trying to prove to me that PDP (GEJ inclusive) has done us good. You are entitled to your opinion and so let me be.

Each of those stickers is an indictment on the PDP govt

I dont need Wole Soyinka to tell me that PDP its a cancerous disease that has inflicted us as a nation for so long. They definately need to be uprooted

was he in at all in the first instance

ok for more than 5months now that he rolled the power roadmap or whatever he called it, please what has changed? I have not noticed any difference at all despite PDP being on this same power issue for about 12yrs. to me, PDP=GEJ

ROSSIKE:
This is why they say a nation gets the leaders it deserves. You don't want theory. You want someone that will just enter and start charging around like a bull in a china shop. Headless chicken runnings. Buhari-type arrest everyone, freeze all projects, probe this and that person, War Against Indiscipline brouhaha.

Do Nigerians really deserve educated, thinking technocrats like Jonathan, [b]Sanusi, Madueke, and Aganga [/b]at the helm, or are Buhari's thuggish, rampaging, slash-and-burn endowments really all they merit?

eh, these guys are cool but i am not impressed. OBJ had arguably a better team and where exactly did it lead us? it goes beyond planning, Nigerians are known to make the best of plans, infact PDP can make the best of plans you can think of but its not in them to implement it which is what is critical.
Our fundamental problem is PDP and it must be crushed this time around.

violent:
Why is it a foolish question?

In as much as this is a strange unfortunate incident, we shouldn't turn a blind eye to the irresponsible acts of the parents who left a 6 months old baby alone on the mat outside. They should be blamed!. . . . The python didn't swallow the baby in seconds!

i concur. the parents and especially the mother was careless. 6 months for crying out loud. haba.

all the presidential candidates are God sent.

olugbemi4u:
This is the end of PDP oligarchy ogun state. Amosun is the next Governor.infact,PDP is no more in south west they have finished if care is not taken.at the National level they will loss gallantly. I believe so much in the integrity of Buhari/Jonathan they are not desperate and i must confess that if Buhari win the election president Goodluck will handover honourably and he will be conferred Noble peace prize also his name will enter Guinness book of record this is enough for a selfless as the best black man this honour is enough for for him.perhap is a good man with impeccable integrity but people around him are his problem. i known they will advise him to rig but he will not and this will make them halt for life wait for PDP SHOW OF SHAME.

Buhari / Bakare

Good development

Odekala !!!!

im not comfortable with this plane at all ooo. i fear for their lives ooo.

efisher,

abegii copy and paste the contents of this your site for me http://siteresources.worldbank.org/NIGERIAEXTN/Resources/ed_sec_analysis.pdf for my consumption. its simply not opening.


Thanks Kobo.

efisher:
Trust me, you guys don't want to go down this road with me. UN and UNESCO documents on education in Nigeria are in abundance on the internet. If you are educated enough to know how to use Google.com, you will be tired of reading. I will not do your search for you. But for the benefit of doubt, let me give you this small appetizer:

"Education has been at the top of the priority lists of some previous Nigerian governments
yet the education system is still far from being ready for the challenges of the new
century. Nigeria is not the only country whose education system is unprepared. A closer
examination of many systems, especially in a developing context, indicate that most of
the educational systems in developing countries are not yet ready to prepare students for
the contemporary global world"

becos the moderator looks like one that disagreed doesnt mean she is right. Thats her opinion to be honest and we all av our individual opinions.

@chamber,

Good and tots provoking points u raised here and desirable but my opinion is all these involve with time. you reffered to the US and Uk system, can u also refer to the south africa, or even the ghanian system? how do u think its being pursued. the system we have presently hasnt even been vigourously pursed and we are already calling for a brand new one labelling the present one a failure. i still insist that nothing is absolutely wrong with the system
