Nigerians can no longer be treated with disdain in African affairs. We are amongst the most educated Africans on Earth. We are adventurous and very stylish. Our professionals can compete anywhere and can never be intimidated by anyone. Nigeria is the America and China of Africa rolled into one. Never mind the facts that our narcoleptic leaders have failed to tap into our awesome potentials. Nigerians are working on how to rescue the nation from the terrible grip of selfish and extremely corrupt politicians. We’ll do well to learn a few lessons from our neighbours in Benin Republic, who threw out their traditional politicians and voted in an accomplished banker. Our future lies in the hands of the private sector.

IS KOBO MALE OR FEMALE? LET HIM/HER COME OUT TO TELL US THE TRUTH!!!!

I could not care less what happens to Obama or clinton or anyone else in this.

It makes absolutely no sense to me when we constantly ask one set of thieves to pass judgement on other set of thieves. This action represents a total undiluted joke and only a fool will fall for this pure stupidity.
Therefore, do not let us continue to fool ourselves or be fooled, there will always be the group of the untouchables in Nigeria for many many years to come until my recommendation is examined and immediately employed.

Go and check out my recommendation (the only solution) that will revive Nigeria effectively and efficiently.

The speech is brilliant and a pure sample of utmost originality. WHY?

Obama clearly and cleverly denounced the statements of his pastor without martyrizing the man (the way most whites would have preferred). He did this in a systematical manner that left many speechless and wondering at the same time.
He also re-introduced the power of racism in America by rationally simplifying the negative effects and pointing out the products that have compiled by these unbearable backwash over the years. He made his points and gave several examples without choosing sides (not many people could accomplish this goal successfully).
He further mentioned that people shouldn't berate Pastor Wright without critically analyzing and clearly understanding the root of his disapprobation.
He also stated that America will move forward effectively and efficiently only if folks could accept one another and work together as one.

Sen Barack H. Obama Jr. methodically touched all the sensitive demons that are clearly frightenable to many (politicians) in America today. He did this with zero hesitation, without stepping on any toes, without choosing sides, with pure sincerity, with supreme genuineness and with a crystal clear frame of mind.

And he did it all his way!

Many (Bill Cosby, Louis Farrakhan, Bill Clinton, Al Shapton, Malcolm X, W.E.B. Du Bois, Jessie Jackson etc.) tried to do the same in the past, but failed abundantly.

My recommendation to all:
Please, do not listen to just part of the speech before passing your judgement, you've got to listen to the entire speech.

The speech is absolutely magnificent with out any questions. The speech has disabled many of his fallacious backbiters, left others speechless and also made Hillary and Bill Clinton to look like bunch of desperate (hungry) pimps.
I have never in my life witnessed such an incredible speech before; he was focused, full of confidence, absolutely on point and answered many questions boldly with zero hesitation.

Obama, Obama, Obama; this man will forever be on top. I admire his sincerity, genuineness and his unique frame of mind.
Please, keep in mind that Sen Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. did not read any part of this speech.
The speech represents power, opulent, superlative, peerless, unsurpassable and absolutely one of a kind.

The speech made nothing worse . . . whites who were looking for an excuse not to vote for a black man now have a valid excuse.
Were Obama to personally execute Rev Wright, it will still not be enough for those hiding their racism behind a mask of self righteousness

sigh!!!!

Assuming that just cause you hear the word "RECESSION" up in the air means everyone is suffering is ignorance. For those trying to use the bible for their backup, I suggest you also cling to the portion that tells you not to make things up in your bid to claim you are right and others are wrong. If you do not live n america currently, I do not expect you to understand but maybe this would be a good time for you to actually take a trip into the country itself and you might understand why those who live in america are not all screaming and running at all. Wisdom comes in handy when all you hear spells doom but those who live it tell you it is not necessarily the case.

What are these many problems you claim America has in the future??

In a worst case scenario-where the US enters into a sustained period of sluggish growth-the impact will be eventually felt in Africa,indeed globally.

So running back to Nigeria because of a possible recession would be foolhardy.There was a recession between the last 2 quarters of 2000 and the first 3 quarters of 2001 in the US,one between 1990 and 1991-so its no big deal.

Recessions are an inevitable part of the business cycle.They are actually necessary to get rid of waste accumulated in buoyant years.

The fundamentals in the US are still sound and the US continues to look a better long term prospect than the EU region.

If you adjust for the different population growth rates of the US and Nigeria,you will find that real GDP per capita growth in Nigeria over the past few  years has been about the same as that of the US.At that rate,it would probably take us 150-200 years to get to the level the US are in today

The topic is about Nigeria and not about other countries and what their state and situation is. Why continously compare our state with that of others?? Is that a way to create an atmosphere where we feel we are ok since others are doing same?? How does that help the case of things in the country??
