I am very sure that you don't mean it, lol

tabakyl:
When Charles Soludo was thinking of re-inventing the Nigeria;s coins, why did'nt he also come up with the list of things we can buy with them?

, because it is not his JOB.

Mustay:
It is important.

How can you know the real facts about your leader?

faoni572:
But you all know that he is Baba-go-slow, so why worrying yourself
YES, if he can call press conference let him do it

@ Mustay , faoni572

Just put yourself in the shoes of the speech writer, how will it go!!!!

" Fellow Nigerians,
I, President Umaru Yaradua, of the Federal republic of Nigeria>>>, !!!!!!!.
I want to state categorically that by birthday is on x.x/ August/ 19XX

Long live Mr President
Long live the Federal republic of Nigeria "

Meanwhile,
1. Niger delta is like dubai
2. Nepa is performing
3. Roads are perfect
4. Teachers are smiling to the bank with huge salaries
5. American president daughter has just been admitted in Gbagada General Hospital

Abi?

CARUSO:
These bastards wont quit!

They would come up with anything to con people, even their own families!!

May they all rot in hell!!

Amen²

There is No big deal,

All the governors sacked by Tribunal later won the by-elections. It's just a FREE one year in Office for them

If the Ban is going to cut across board, rich,poor, politicians, then No problem!!!

Otherwise No!!!

Is this important enough for the president to call a press conference? Abeg let's face important issues

Instead i think we should critisize the so called rulers we have in Nigeria, wasting tax payers money. It shows their level of detail, going to the press without confirming their facts. Who blames them, is it their money they are spending?

Try

University of manchester
Robert Gordon Uni
University of Aberdeen

Far from the truth. there is no millitant group Aberdeen or even in scotland, those thugs(MEND) are just seeking relevance

Reminds me of APPLE in the Bible

Bro don chop apple oh

Madam play your part, He will soon learn his lesson.

The guy is only after the content of your pant!. Nothing more!.

And he is playing on your weakness.

It is very irresponsible of you as a married woman to even listen to him at all. Then as a mother it is very bad.
Think with your head and cut all forms of communication ASAP

@ Poster.

The best thing is for you to suspend the wedding, give yourself sometime.

Don't rush into any wedding because of sentiments and at thesame time don't loose all what you laboured for because of a loose lady.

Just postpone the wedding , at least pregnancy does not last beyond 9 months.,, ,.2/3 months gone already

I ronically, so many would be immigrants won't mind the 18 months detention. At least there will be:

Free Food
No NEPA
Free GYM

They will attempt to enter after release and be deatined for 18 months again

@ fine boy
I guess you are affected, The category of student visa NOT affected is the long stay-students, that is the undergraduates.

However, it is better you call the visa section help lines to confirm if you are affected

texazzpete:
it may interest you to know that i never said that the title was WRONG. I said it was MISLEADING.

Surely you can appreciate the distinct difference between these two words?

To put it in your words, I guess you can appreciate the difference between VALID and WRONG?

Kobojunkie:
About 6 months ago, Yar Adua consulted the British for help with training the police. How is that plan going? Any progress??

The British police are not in the best position to train Nigerian police. They are facing different challenges. While British police are facing the challenge of KNIFE Crime with negligible small arms proliferation, The Nigerian police is facing Huge GUN crime with unimaginable level of small arms proliferation.

We need to be sincere and look for an home grown solution to our policing problems.

'Certain group of Nigerians' is a valid subset of "Nigerians" . Fair enough, the group of Nigerians affected are in the overwhelming majority compared to those exempted.

The heading of the thread is valid as far as i am concerned

I choose to wait for some time before commenting on Waziri's EFCC. You know reporters could be sensational at times

DejiYesufu:
The Victor Banjo story is a historical event and I would not want anyone reading this discuss to think it is a waste of time. They say if we don't learn from history we will certainly become history.
The last I heard of Ojukwu is that he was being paid the arreas of his salaries or is it pension since the civil war. Will somebody wake up and try him for war crimes? Oh he's been pardoned by the state. So unfortunate.
Like dayokanu said the real revolutionaries were Banjo and the other boyz. Someone said Banjo was fighting his own war with his own agenda. Ojukwu is the one, to me, who seem to have been fighting his own war with his own agenda. Unfortunately with MASSOB of today, the question of Biafra has not left us.

I bet to disagree with the higlighted part of your submission. Any brave person in Ojukwu shoes in 1967 would probably has declared a break. Ibo were being killed in all parts of the north. Even the ones that were escaping were ambushed and killed.

Igbo soldiers and officers were rounded up and killed within the barracks, the general feeling was that there was no point staying in a union that you were not wanted.
At some point, it was possible that Ojukwu took some wrong decision due to the strain and fatigue of the 3 year long war. Sad enough during war situation, mistake are paid for with lives

;d

aurevoir:
Renouncing your Nigerian citizenship is like divorcing your ugly wife.

That's the way I feel since I did exactly that, Now, I feel a sight of relief, It still hurts adding Nigerian educational qualifications to your CV, employers in the West think it's 419.

Congrats, I think the next step is to leave Nairaland , lol . Or are you missing Nigeria so soon? You renounced Nigerian last week and and you joined Nairaland this week, what's the point.

There are thousands of Nigerians with Jobs in the UK,US with only Nigerian degrees, so i guess employers have been rejecting you based on your person rather than on your nationality.
You might have to change again if this new nationality does not work for you.

Gamine:
Hmm, well, . .

and yeah, i hate to admit also, nothing relli changes

and the testimonies i usually hear are how someone met her target for Zenith Bank.

Or how someone earning 40/month bought a Brand new X5 and paid for everything on the spot ( Praise God, somebody)

kiggy:

All these from this poster from previous threads, I don't see much credibility in your stories.

From my limited knowledge, i'll attempt to answer your questions.

1. Victor Banjo fought for Biafra because at that time, he was  in a prison in the East after the 1966 coup. Most of the soldiers that participated in the 1966 coups were in prison round the country. Ojukwu needed experienced men at that time, so it was easy to turn to Victor Banjo to fight against those that put him in prison( The Northern elements of 1966 counter coup)

2. Ojukwu felt at that time, that Victor Banjo was fighting his own war NOT Biafra war. Some school of thought believed that Victor Banjo dream was to push the was to Yoruba territory via  Ore and then declare Yoruba Nation. His success at  Benin axis also showed his military capabilities fuelling the suspicion of him having his own agenda. The main reason why he was killed is know to Ojukwu alone but on paper, Victor Banjo, Phillip Alale, Ifeajuna and Sam Agbam were tried and convicted of Treason .

3. Victor Banjo was arrested based on suspicion of his involvement in the January 1966 coup, however, the real actors in the coup denied his involvement. All the soldiers ,Banjo, Ademoyega, Ifeajuna, Nzeogu were all kept in prison till the outbreak of the civil wars.

I guess this state is going the way of Anambra, Ekiti, Oyo, etc

As hard as this is for me, I admit that most of the things Luggard wrote about a typical African in 1926 are True.
There are very few exceptions, that is why it is very difficult for us to have roles models.

After the Ziks, Awo's, Bello's, Muritala's, which other leader can we point to in our country, that has foresight or not selfish, even the tribal leaders  use their position to take advantage of their so called  tribe men.

People struggle to become governors, not because they want to govern,  but because the want to show power.

Is it not animalistic to steal money from your country and take it to another man's country to keep it; tell me what is the difference, If your chicken that you feed everyday, chooses to lay her egg in your neighbours compound? Animals will always be animals.

Million of dollar spent to provide " aids" manufactured in their country's by their companies; money from the interest accrued from the stolen money in their banks.

As effective as their system is, they don't see when our rulers move billions into their banks until they find the rulers useless to them.

Western government are just not intersted in Zimbabwe because they lack oil reserve.

What's the diff btw Mugabe and saddam?

Hmmmmmmmmm, FREE AID ?

I am just hearing for the first time that anything can be free, especially from the "west"
