The big question would be "Who will act while he is away"? He doesn't have a vice president!

But good move. And let me predict- After his meeting with Obama, the US would delist Nigeria from that terror watch list!

I think the US have found their man in Jonathan. They would do anything to ensure that the man continues beyond 2011!

what is special abt seeing Obama.

No group or ethnics can be force to conform to electoral reform, when they say NO.  And the north have clearly said No and they prefer structural reform . Gaddafi  knows the north and even when the west see him as a bad man. This time around. I have to agree, he is speaking the truth. Gaddafi is a friend to the powerful power block in the north.  He knows what they want. If we fail to have structural reform, we would see more than 5 africa countries involve in this civil war.

While the Yorubas are in several countries, the fulani/hausa are also in several countries. Ethnics loyalty goes beyoud country. We see our ethnics group in Africa as our country. Not the nation call nigeria. The USA would only create more hate for itsself from the north, even among yorubas. Structural reform is the only solution. Nigeria politician are not honest. Their position matter to them more than the lifes of the people. they dont care for the people. So as far as they are considered, They can kill all of them for all they care. They are heartless men. see the way they kill themself for position.

The north would never agree to electoral reform , only structural reform, and noone can force electoral reform on the north it would only lead to a civil war. Ethnics loyalty and ethnics honour killing is alive in Africa.
It is an issue of saving lifes rather than anyone invading nigeria. Look, you need to see the satellite pictures. Do you think you can conduct an election in 2011 and who is going to go to kano and tell them their result is too high.
If you assume that kano would declear a result less than 10 million voters, then you would be joking. Knowing Nigeria. they would never agree. And the people of kano and the north  are the one who is going to conduct the election on thier own side. And they would put millions on the figure. You cant force them. You cant force electoral reform on people.
Jigawa, katsina and others are going to declear million in 2011. what do you think jonathan is going to do, he cant do anything. Look the coup in Niger republic had nigeria link. It is not possible to conduct a military coup in Niger republic without Nigeria link.
There are been many times in Nigeria where Niger citizen invade Nigeria to attack Nigeria villages and town, when there are community crisis like the one in Jos. retaliation for thier fellow hausa/fulani in Nigeria. if they slow to act to defend themself.  Ask any nigeria. You dont know what ethnics honour is about. people give up for thier for it.
The headquarters of the hausa/fulani kingdom is located in Nigeria. And the citizen of niger republic are more loyal to their nigeria leader than they are to the government in Niger republic or other countries. Even in Nigeria, the hausa/fulani are more loyal to hausa/fulani chief than the nigeria government. They are not loyal to Jonathan. They dont give a hell about Jonathan or any nigeria president. even they dont get a hell to Yar adua who is hausa/fulani or any nigeria president.  They see the government coming from the fulani/hausa kingdom than the president of nigeria or niger or any country. they dont care the hell for the president. Actually the president is a rubber stamp. nobody give a hell of the president of nigeria and national assembly. Loyality is to thier ethnics group first, even in the military. This is been honest. You can see one of thier leader saying Jonathan cant remove the chief of army staff. he was not joking.
It is the say in Yorubaland. they dont care who the president is . Thier loyality is not to the president but to the ethnics group. As far as the yorubas are concern in Nigeria. The oni is more powerful than the president of Nigeria. Even when Obasanjo was there. people are not going to listen to obasanjo first before the oni. It is a cultural thing. i cant explain. This is the truth, go ask any nigerian. Loyality in the army in Nigeria is not to nigeria government, but to thier ethnics group. That why there are military coup.
The international community have no choice but to step in and help. And save people lifes.
electoral reform can not work. It is just a way to con the international community, but the real truth is the north would still declear millions in likely  billions in election. Who do you thing would go and risk his life in the north and same they are less. That what is going to happen in 2011 and it would lead to a bloodly civil war.
Yes small ethnics group with less than 50,000 , you can see them are scared of the breakup. but they can be controlled. but you cant control the bigger ethnics group. crisis with them would lead to civil war. the lawmakers making who are shouting about this whole thing are from very very small ethnics group, which can be easily control if nigeria breakup. The international community should not worry about them. they are just be upset for now. they would like it latter.
The hausa would tell you "ba turashi." meaning  "get the hell of my face , i dont give a shit1 about english".  Sorry for my use of word.
people in hausa would say  "ko ba kaba, aka ne." walahi

Haven't you heard? The US is behind everything. I am sure it is the US who posted the message originally.   

Down with Amerikka! AllahuAkbar.

yes, we are also behind the future collapse of your country. It's just that your average day citizens and some politicians don't have the wits to realize it yet

eddeux, what exactly do u want?
we have given u an answer so can the topic close if there's nothing else 4 u to add   

your the one, with eddex or whatever that came here and started making the comparison

The average akata knows nothing about Africa. So I doubt any of you akatas who deny your African roots will do anything to help the continent.
Ask an akata where Kenya is on a map and they wont know. Your ignorance about Africa is quite sad. Foolish akata boy with no roots. You akatas are the lowest on the totem pole. Even Mexicans are rising higher than you gang banging akatas.
An akata these days does nothing to improve the U.S. They only rob and steal. You people have fallen. If MLK or Malcolm X were alive today, they would be appalled by you akatas.
You all have more freedom today than you all had yesterday, but the GREAT African Americans of the past surpassed you all. It is sad. I weep for the akata man who will not reach the age of 21. I weep for the akata girl who has no daddy to say he loves her so she sleeps with as many men as possible.   

That still doesn't change the fact we're the wealthiest blacks in the world! So I guess that means we are allowed to slack off at times cause we actually can afford to!
Most African American males live past 21, actually the 'average' life expectancy is aroujnd 70 (like 2 1/2 decades above Nigeria's) but a lot of us live past that (such as my g-grandpa who died at 88).
And Kenya is above Tanzania, borders Somalia to the west, and Ethiopia to the North 

@Poster

When will your country stop being hypocritical?

In the next 10-30 years, visible development shall be seen everywhere in Nigeria

Hehehehe   This will be fun

I prefer my West African babes. I love my Igbo women and I love Ghanain women. They look the same and sometimes surpass the look of akata girls. Even though there are some fine akata girls, they are way too many chunky akata girls running around. And they are loose if you know what I mean.

My country provides the oil that goes into your car. And our doctors are helping your health care system. Don't forget the Nigerian pharmacist who work at Rite Aid and Walgreens who give you your prescription drugs. Be thankful!

Nigerians are into business. Wherever there is money to be made, you will find a Nigerian! That is a fact Eddeux. Soon we will end up owning most of Africa. This is a fact. We compete with the Lebanese, Arabs, Indians and whites, so do not come to me with that crap.

We already outperform you akatas in your own country. How many years have you been in America and you allow recent immigrants to outperform you. Maybe you all are just lazy. You all deserve the rest though for all those years of hard labor without any pay. 

whatever  EzeUche you're just relying on stereotypes to back up your gross generalizations. I came here to ask Nigerians when their country would develop, b/c I'm actually interested in Nigeria and much of Africa, but instead I find this. and yeah you are right Nigeria may some day be sweeping up real estate across africa like the Japanese did w/ icnonic American buildings during the roaring '80s. But it won't happen if ur politicians don't get their act together.

These no culture having fools should learn their place on the social ladders. They are the sons and daughters of former slaves and have that taint. They are OSU in my opinion.

This is funny. They brag about their purchasing power, but they produce nothing. Koreans sell their hair and even their soulfood. I find it hilarious. Akatas are only consumers, not producers. The only thing they produce is there trashy Rap music.

An akata will always be jealous of an African who knows his roots. Even Caribbeans look down on Akatas. I respect Caribbeans, because they know their roots are in Africa and they see themselves as African brothers. That is why I do not refer them as akatas.

But the akata cotton picker is another breed.   They hate our forefathers, because they were sold to the white man. lol

Hey Mandingo, you never know, my Great-great-great grandfather may have sold your relatives. We Aros are known for selling weak people to the white man.

since we nigerians can't answer your question, i'll pose one to u:
African Americans, when will you people move forward?
Eddeux, maybe u can answer that question. America is a very rich country. we know that. but we also know that AA are still some of the most disadvantaged. when will that you move out of it?
like they say, people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

@mandingo/eddeux here are some questions for both of you, instead of asking the question  "when will  nigeria develop" perhaps you could try asking your US govt the  following questions:

when will the US abandon its practise of destabilising sovereign countries by sponsoring death squads and militia groups to overthrow democratically elected govts as it has done in nicaragua, chile, argentina, indonesia, iraq, phillipines, panama, zaire, sudan, haiti, nigeria,  guatemala and many more too numerous to mention

when will it stop imposing corrupt kleptocrat illiterate dictators on countries that it has economic interests in  so that it can indirectly control the economies of those countries through these puppets ie  nigeria, zaire, indonesia, chile, haiti, ecuador,

why does the US allow the IMF and world bank impose harsh austerity measures in african countries  which cause mass unemployment, poverty, death and despair when its own country's  national debt currently stands at USD$12 trillion dollars and its own economy is built on a giant ponzi scheme with the vast majority of its citizens living on credit.

why has the US govt continued to outsource almost the whole of its manufacturing industry abroad to countries where labour is cheap such as haiti, indonesia, china, mexico where they can get away with paying people 15 cents a day as they were doing in haiti?

when will it abandon its practice of selling billions of dollars worth of arms to puppet govts that it has helped install in order to guarantee themselves an unending supply of cheap natural resources at the expense of the indigenous people of those countries.

you know this very well. Any major suburb you drive through more then half of the blacks living there will be african, and almost all of them nigerian.

Thanks for the laugh 

the lowest a nigerian will be working in america is janitorial work or taxi driving, cool, but a black american doing this has already out achieved most of his peers.

to top it off were still the most educated and well off minority in the united states, its a fact. So you can say as you wish but the facts are in front of you.
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/5791096.html

out of every 100 black americans 10 will grow to be reasonable human beings and all of them will marry a white woman cause they dont want their kids to have black skin.

and I'm guessing that number is much lower for Nigerians STILL in Nigeria? 

idk, you just can't win this argument, we're clearly better then you

also, black americans have been given a chance to create and run their own country, it's called Liberia, a country that wouldn't exist today if Nigeria wasn't spoon feeding it, do the research. It's also the love-peddler and drug user capital of africa.

Bros this has nothing to do with “anti – American” , this is about my home country. I love my country more than any country in the world and i will not allow these demonic group of people to destroy it.

nobody is complaining here

are you insane or what, how will the military rule a divided country, once divided, will the military rule south from the north or what are you trying to say?

who said that the new countries wouldn't have militaries? NK had one when they were divided from SK, and vice versa. A new military, or militia, could form or the old one split in two w/ the loyals going to either the North or South.duh

and, every country will have their various economies if a split up can happen as you claim, were you thinking with your arse when you typed your post?

and who talked about breakup. were you reading the post with your nose or what

last time looked up the sky .pigs were flying. yeah right.
