I don't support the killing of innocent people, but this is totally ridiculous.

pickabeau1: If this is true..belated response
Really? angry angry

I do not agree with you at all.

We are talking about routine screening of all passengers from high risk areas, not just symptomatic ones.
And this is an informed decision that came immediately WHO blew the whistle yesterday that the more stringent measures need to be taken.

The passenger that arrived from Liberia was handled professionally and prior to that WHO never advocated any aviation restrictions.

No other contact has tested positive for Ebola so how in the world is it a belated response?


We needn't always be overtly critical.
This is one issue I can say Nigeria has handled well so far.

Demdem:
Based on my own observations, Akpabio beats Chime hands down.
Maybe I'll concede and step up Akpabio's rating to 6/10 on the basis that akwaibom was hardly on the map before he came in.
Politics › Re: Rate Your State Governor's Performance 1 To 10 by eaglechild: 3:50pm On Aug 01, 2014
Demdem:
Not only lower allocations but lesser responsiblity considering the fact that before chime, enugu have always been cool and a host of other reasons.
Anyway I respect ur opinion but just don't necessarily agree with it apart from that orji part. grin
Enugu was in a state of complete decay before Chime took over.

Demdem:
Considering the fact that he gave Akpabio 5.5, i agree however can't fathom 6 for Chime and Obiano yet.
Are u smelling what I am smelling? cheesy
Ibo govs Av higher grades. grin grin
Ibo kwenu. grin
I gave T.A. Orji 0/10
He is Igbo and PDP

I gave Rochas 4.5/10

I scored Chime high because Enugu has a much lower allocation than Rivers, Imo, Akwaibom and Abia.

Obiano can hardly be rated objectively but he scored high in his first few weeks.

I just think we need to demand more from our governors. They actually make the most direct impact on the everyday Nigerian.

I will not score anyone above 6/10.

Thanks for correcting the typo.

However, if you read through the links above you will understand my grouse.

I can see that you left out the poverty rate of the north but I can tell you that it stands at over 70% in most states and even close to 80% in some.

That is not a place to show off Ferraris and bugattis.
prophetone: Fixed.
What is sickening is the liberty with which hypocrisy is hawked on this forum. Listening to you one would think other regions are utopian worlds where poverty is almost non-existent. There are millions in the south suffering this very moment from lack of basic nourishment and healthcare and you are here trying desperately to climb your high horse.
The Nigerian Bureau of Statistics puts the percentage of the southern population living in absolute poverty at 61% and a population of 64.9 million puts the number of southerners living in absolute poverty at 39,650,000 as at 2012. That is about 40 million in the south going to bed hungry this night yet you can sit and guzzle beer with friends, and you sermonise here about admiration of wealth in the presence of poverty. Sheer Hypocrisy. What makes it worse is your ignorance of the fact.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-17015873
There are millions of Nigerians on both sides of the divide and we should strive to install purposeful leadership that can alleviate the woes of our less-privileged and provide opportunities for wealth creation to the citizenry.
As I said earlier, guard your glass house well.

AsSabirin: How is he a thief, so because one holds a public office he automatically becomes a thief? Check your reasoning.
What is a civil servant paid that will empower him to buy a $400,000 car? huh
Politics › Re: The Beasts Of Northern Nigeria [[MORE PIX]] by eaglechild: 8:44am On Aug 01, 2014
Jakumo: Generally speaking, Lebanese and Indians immigrants to Nigeria are well connected to the Hausa Fulani oil-block thieves who have been quietly bleeding the nation dry for decades, and so those camel-jockeys get their grasping paws stuck DEEP in the national treasury virtually the instant they show up in Nigeria, which is a privilege NOT open to your average Nigerian university graduate, despite your claim to the contrary.

As for your fascinating proclamation about the ease with which enough money can be harvested in Nigeria to afford a 100 thousand dollar car, Gbawe, perhaps you could be kind enough to post a few pictures of your own stable of brand new Italian and German super-cars, to illustrate your point about the availability of great wealth that can literally be plucked from trees by your average Joe in Nigeria.

Standing by for that enlightenment good sir.
Even in the most affluent of countries these cars sell in single digits.

Not only are they expensive, they are also impractical for most of our cities.

All these may not even be an issue if the wealth is honestly made.

But then you add the killer blow that they belong to the rich elite kids whose parents have looted their populace dry.

And who live in an environment where some few kilometers away people live in abject poverty and have resorted to blowing their selves up.

It is distasteful.

Joel3: in my vision I saw boko haram plans to attack edo state. This is not joke its currently been plan. My visions are real they do come through.

this will not be good for the state. Because edo people are very good in retaliations. This might result in war where muslims will be attack in the state.

Government and concerned authority need to do something.
You need a dose of potent ACT antimalarial.

Also ensure you are adequately hydrated.

I think they are trying to preserve the pristine state of the landscape.
