Nigeria's anti-corruption war is "Turn by turn Nigeria Limited", according to Bode George. Guess it's Bankole's turn today. The onus is on him to prove himself a victim of witch/wizard haunting.

Travel › Living In Belgium As A Nigerian Student by Donmeca(op): 2:44am On Jun 01, 2011

I have read all sorts of report about studying and working in America (USA) and the United Kingdom. Severally, we have read about the escapades and sufferings of our young countrymen/women in a bid to make their lives and the lives of their immediate families better. . .only from the UK and the USA. I then ask, are there no other countries in Europe especially, where one can get world-class education? I know that the Nordic countries offer one the best education curricula on the planet yet no one mentions them. . .or are there no Nigerians/Nairalanders there? Same can be said of other EU country-blocks like the Low Countries.

That brings me to my aim. I have a friend who got admitted to one of the top Belgian universities for an M.Sc programme. We have been gathering as much info as we can but there doesn't seem to be enough (about the country, the school, racism, student job, cost of living and so on). I then thought of this wonderful forum. We need first hand information about studying in Flanders area of Belgium and I believe that there are Nigerian students and also alumni from various Belgian universities. We are also interested in the quality of/regard for degrees obtained from such universities. Pls give us an insight people.

Education › Re: Is It A Sin To Be Intelligent? by Donmeca(m): 10:05am On May 30, 2011

I won't patronise u brother. It is not a sin to be intelligent but it is a very big sin to show off ur intelligence. I say this cos I am a victim of flaunting IQs. I have always been a teacher's delight all through my primary and secondary years but that was fun then. I did not even start showing off mine early. . .I only started in my first year in d university (and I had nothing else. . .no cash, no clothes, no attractive face and thus no inner connection with intimidated and outdated lecturers). I wud always sit back and "teach" other students as soon as d lecturers left d class. I corrected and argued with d lecturers. . .in fact, there was this 2nd year inorganic chemistry course that I was soooo into that in a class of about 500 students (a combined course) I wud stand up and practically lecture and intimidate the new lecturer. What was the result? D students wud understand my concept better and applaud me even when the poor woman (who loved me) was still standing on the podium. TERRIBLE! As soon as she left, a sea of confused sycophants wud flow towards my desk in that big hall for extra morals (my girlfriend would be beaming with smiles. . .my "intelligence" also attracted d most beautiful chicks within Natural Sciences and I stupidly fell for one in my own class!). A lot of OO students (kegites and cultists alike) wud want to be my friends during exams and I had this permanent handbag of a GF plus her group of friends to "carry along". I had "fame" brother but little or no regard. They sang my praises but I never realised they were killing my dream until we came back from IT.

How did I get to know? some lecturers gave me Cs in some "A" courses and gave my course rep (who tagged along me like a bug) A's. The worst was the Physical Chemistry man who, story had it that he had his doctorate abroad but could not defend his thesis. . .he vented his anger on students and I had a fair share. Again, when it was time to get project supervisors, no lecturer rushed for me as they did for about two other intelligent guys plus my course rep. . .now, there is fire on d mountain. What did my ITK do for me? It cost me 1st class (and we had more than 3 1st class graduates. . .some approximated!) I came a close 4th in d class and I wept.

So brother, be in the background and u won't regret it. . .show off and get female and OO distractions. This will definitely make lose points in exams and that is the only way intelligence without wisdom can hurt

To think that he was not allowed a space for rallies and was forced to invent mobile stages for his campaigns, Rochas has proved he is loved by all. Another factor may be the desire of Imolites to move away from Ohakim's noise and brutality to a new place. I will not rule out the effect and followership of the Catholic Church whose priests were the object of stripping and beating d Ohakim thugs/security personnel.

That said, I still believe (having looked both sides) that Nigeria is not yet hopeless. . .there is still hope. We can move her into better country. With d right kind of leadership, attitude and mindset, Nigeria can still be great. Look at it from d first coup in 1966; to d genocide called civil war (which Buhari was part of); to the many years of military rule (Buhari is still a signatory); to d past 12 years and to dis moment that d new generation of civilians (not soldiers) are taking over. . .There is still hope for Nigeria.

BTW, those of u calling Nigeria's situation hopeless are still d ones clamouring for change. . .change to what, if I may ask? If d situation is so hopeless, y ask for change? Y not just stick to d status quo?

Politics › Re: Buhari Broke Into Tears by Donmeca(m): 4:49pm On Apr 13, 2011

Dieziani Allison Madueke wept uncontrollably at d Benin-Ore Road in her early days as Transport Minister. Three years later, the road is yet to be put in order. I am not moved by d man's tears cos I have had course to weep for this country on a daily basis. Yes, I weep for Nigeria. Buhari just saw reason to cry today. I guess weeping in public is the new trend. . .I saw one Osun State ACN chieftain weeping before AIT camera 2days back. This man cried like a baby for about 5 minutes. Why was he crying? He claimed some political parties were trying to force ACN into meeting violence with violence.

Buhari shud stop crying, we need articulate performers not mourners, Nigeria is not yet hopeless as we can still get it right and GEJ has shown us d way last saturday. If we can get elections, we can get corruption, power, education and unemployment.

Don't vote crocodile tears vote performance.

After Fashola's tenure, he will want an input on who succeeds him. This Tinubu will see as arrogance cos he is d one who "knows" what is good for yorubaland. This may breed rancor. Shud BRF decide to go to d senate, he needs to topple someone who may be Tinubu's person. . .there will b confusion.

Politics › Re: Jonathan In Secret Meeting With Tinubu, Others by Donmeca(m): 11:53am On Apr 12, 2011

I think ACN and southwest is playing the spoiler's game in this election. If there were no presidential candidate for ACN, SW votes (majority of) will go to PDP. Now there is a Ribadu who will not win, there is a possibility that d ACN lords wud not to want to be in d bad books of the new govt. . .so they need to take a chance that will get them closer to the centre. They can decide to go for Buhari or GEJ (win-win) cos there is a belief that anyone who gets majority SW (b/w GEJ and BB) wins d election.

They may decide to cool down for GEJ, the surest way to d centre if u ask me. Tinubu shud recall his ordeal at d hands of OBJ (once bitten. . .)

Politics › Re: Cpc Lost Nass, But Presidential May Be Closer by Donmeca(m): 2:13pm On Apr 11, 2011

Buhari may even come third in d presidential elections if the outcome of the NASS elections is anything to go by. Most people here never believed INEC wud have a free hand to work as it did last saturday. So it is with a lot of Nigerians but GEJ has delivered on his promise. Most folks will fall for his sincerity of purpose and his humility (in letting OBJ fall from grace) and will vote him ahead of Buhari and Ribadu. As for Buhari winning his state and losing kano, Katsina had no other option, unlike 2007 when they had Yar'Adua; Kano has more of republicans, they even voted out Shekarau (I guess it is protest).

That said, I have not seen any post congratulating GEJ for being "fair" even to a hurting extent. That makes me think of the kind of comments I wud av read had d elections looked like the 2003/2007 episodes. The guy means well for Nigeria and as such deserves votes and support.

Abeg comot for here, Journalists for hire. What justifies the kangaro bill passed by Akwa ibom law makers to make a Governor detain his opponent for 14days without filling charges. The same people who received N3 million from Akpabio that led to their kidnap

Nothing justifies detention of any human being for as long as 4 days without going to to court but u just said a bill was passed even though it is a kagaroo one. Again, those journalists mention in my post were not justifying the detention by d gov of his political opponent. Gbenga and Kunle championed the cause of Save Nigeria Group, leading to the emergence of an Acting President and also gave them every coverage even after their true identity as Buhari's forerunners became common knowledge.

Politics › Re: Goodluck/ Sambo transformation package for Journalists by Donmeca(m): 1:05pm On Apr 08, 2011

From Sandokaa;

Most Naija journalists are cheap, greedy and conscience-less. Just check out the reports they dish out on the 2011 elections. And to think that they are the same people behind BON/NEDG stuff. Nigerians can now see why the other aspirants boycotted the debate. Even, political platform on Raypower and Focus Nigeria on AIT are beginning to sound like government apologists. Enedu Aniagu of political platform lost my respect totally when he justified the rough-handling of Apanudoedehe, the ACN gubernatorial candidate in Akwa Ibom by the police. Same for Aruleba, who engaged the candidate's lawyer in a manner that suggested a compromise, a few weeks back. Shame, shame, shame. It appears all institutions for checks and balances have compromised!

@Sandokaa;
I have bn resisting d urge to post on this thread as I find it confused and confusing but your apparent reasoning that mentioning names of your "enemy" presenters will make u an authority in d field of biased journalism weakened my resolve. For all it's worth, Ehiedu is d man who brings d needed balance to issues discussed on Political Platform. U cry about d rough-handling of Senator Apanudoedehe forgetting that he had always been in govt as a staunch member of d much loathed PDP. For your info, a lot of people lost their lives in violence allegedly instigated by your man and u want us to believe that his freedom is worth more than the lives of fellow Nigerians. Both govt and personal properties were vandalised his supporters. All Ehiedu said amounted to giving d Police d benefit of d doubt. . .that d Police being law enforcers may have reasons to still re-arrest him even after charges of treason had been dropped/quashed. Talk about d man, where were u when Ehiedu spoke against Hon Doris Uboh. . .his rep (after d PDP primaries)? Where were u when they all were carpeting Suswam, Igbinedion, Alams and T.A. Orji?

As for Gbenga, U seem to forget that he had d same court judgment which d lawyer was interpreting to suit his cause. He was doing what he knows how to do best. . .giving follow-up questions to show d futility if any, of your argument. That lawyer chose to be beating about d bush instead of supplying d clear-cut answers needed to clear d air after scores of people were killed and property worth millions destroyed allegedly by his client's supporters. If u talk about being govt apologist, where were u when Gbenga took it upon himself to see an end to Iwu's tenure? Atleast Iwu then was a govt baby. Do I mention Ayoka Adebayo and Timipre Silva, Gbenga Daniel, OBJ and so many others, whom Gbenga took a stand against (even when they controlled d govt)?

My advice, Keep it cool. . .don't talk for d fun of it. Some of us here follow d trends and programs in our mass and print media as well.

Politics › Obama Goes For 2nd Tenure by Donmeca(op): 1:34pm On Apr 04, 2011

Barack Obama, the US president, has formally announced his 2012 re-election bid, saying the country needed "to protect the progress" it had made.

"Today, we are filing papers to launch our 2012 campaign," Obama said in a statement on Monday.

He explained that as his administration and supporters across the country "fight to protect the progress we've made - and make more - we also need to begin mobilising for 2012, long before the time comes for me to begin campaigning in earnest".

Obama said that in coming days, his supporters will begin forging a new organisation in cities and towns across the country.

"And I'll need you to help shape our plan as we create a campaign that's farther reaching, more focused, and more innovative than anything we've built before," he said.

The announcement was preceded by a video, which featured a group of presidential supporters talking about the importance of continuing the job the president started following his election in 2008.

"This will be my final campaign, at least as a candidate," Obama said in the statement.

"But the cause of making a lasting difference for our families, our communities, and our country has never been about one person. And it will succeed only if we work together."

Political observers expect the Obama campaign to raise an unprecedented $1bn for the race.

Several Republicans are considering running against Obama but have not made their candidacies official. Early polls are showing Obama leading potential Republican rivals.

Obama was expected to file campaign papers with the Federal Election Commission as early as Monday, which would allow him to start raising campaign funds.

While running for president as a senator from Illinois, Obama raised a record $750m to win the 2008 election.
