[quote author=Sunny_bobo]Some of those years you posted above were declared null and void by courts of competent jurisdiction and therefore never existed [/quote]What you typed, is it sensible to you ?

PDP have governed the SW longer than any party. Even in ondo state.Ondo state (2003-2009)---- PDP (6 years)

All ACN governors in SW excluding Lagos have spent 2 years + and shown signs of fixing the rot in the education sector

[quote author=Sunny_bobo]The bold part of your statement above clearly shows that you are either a teenager or your brain cells are fast degenerating. PDP never governed any south west state for 8 years. They were only in office from 2003-2007. Get your facts right before posting.[/quote]You are wrong ! Ogun state (2003-2011)----PDP (8 years)
Oyo state (2003-2011)---- PDP (8 years)
Osun State (2003-2010)----PDP (7.5 years)
Ekiti state (2003-2010)----- PDP (7.5 years)

He stated that the former publicity secretary rendered himself completely inaccessible to every segment of government and people from the zone, and that he proved to be incompetent in such a high and very demanding office and was no match for a fire-brand like Alhaji Lai Mohammed of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), who was constantly on top of his game.

Confessions !

payless: Don't get me wrong here. There are more muslims in those predominantly Christian States than Christians in those predominantly Muslim states. The Hausas are not tolerants when it comes to religion. Christians are being intimidated in those predominant Muslim states and Christians have no choice but to stay away. Christians don't live in their states because their lives are in danger. Most Christians who live in the North are most Igbos.


The population you see in those predominatly Muslim states reflects the number of Muslims in thos states. It is fair to say Kano is 97% muslim population.

Even without researched data, i know the bolded is also not true.

The 2006 census places Kano's population as roughly 10 million. your implicit 3% non muslim population in kano means there are only 300,000 non muslims in the whole of Kano.

What percentage of igbo"s who virtualy are all christians make up the total population of Kano?

What percentage of South south people who virtualy are all christians make up the total population of Kano?

What percentage of Yoruba christains make up the total population of Kano?

What percentage of Hausas and other minority tribes who are christains make up the total population of Kano?



What percentage of all nigerian tribes who solely practice traditional religion make up the total population of Kano ?

A muslim-muslim ticket by the opposition is a no -no , it will give PDP a easy punch line and a propaganda campaign against such ticket will travel faster than wild fire, taking in to cognisance the sentimental sensibilities of an average nigerian.

I have a feeling APC will not field Buhari, but look for a candidate who will made to "sit on buhari's shoulder" at campaign in the northern zone.

payless: If you go by the census and Kano Sate being predominantly Muslim, you have to make that conclusion. Taraba, Nasarawa,Kogi, Benue and Plateau total population is still less than population of Kano Sate.

The bolded is not true!

@ OP, Why are all the pastors in Lords chosen Igbos ?

I had a dream filled sleep last night, Nigeria won spain by 4-0, and the celebration was massive, i was about to join the celebration train on my street when i woke up.

Jarus: A single goal-differential win for Nigeria takes Nigeria to 6 points, +5 GD. Let's not hope against hope, Uruguay will put more than 5 past Tahiti.

It is sometimes soothing to hope against hope !

texaco1: honestly speaking i dont see spain beating nigeria if and only these guys decide to play to their best,the worst that will happen will be a draw and who knows football is all about 90mins ,taihiti can decide to spring a surprise against uruguay.
our boys just need to take their chance ,relax and concentrate for 90 mins,musa needs to be sober before entering the pitch i will advice to either flog him or give him a dirty slap to ginger his brains before fielding him

Yeah !, a surprise like losing no more than 4-0. Datz all

The Se will do the rest in a must win battle against spain

CFCfan: Yeah, that game can realistically end in just a 3-0 victory for Uruguay. The Super Eagles would need to take inspiration from Switzerland and the USA, who have beaten the Spaniards in major tournaments - 2010 world cup and 2009 Confed cup respectively.

thanks for seeing it that way, for now all pressure is on uruguay to score at least a 5 goals differential win, if the goals dont come early, the more they get jittery and frustrated.

Nigeria is capable of winning just like switzerland against spain 1:0 and U.s.A 2:0.

I must say our destiny is no more in our hands completely, but we've got a slim chance to make Africa proud

Jarus: And you think Uruguay will stop at 4 against Tahiti?

Nigeria beating Spain 1-0. Well, if Nigeria could concede against supper minnows like Tahiti, Malawi, Namibia and Kenya, I don't see them maintaining clean sheet against Spain. Maybe 2-1 is a possible victory.

Well, like i said, any kind of win with a single goal differential from nig. 2-1, 3-2, 4-3,.....

For the other match, Tahiti might just pose a spoiler for uruguay, might also depend on how early uruguay starts scoring.

If Tahiti decides to attack lesser than they did against spain and nig, the loss might be reduced.

Nigeria can qualify with this kind of configuration.

Nig 1 Spain 0 (Any kind of win against spain) and Uruguay 4 Tahiti 0

That is a plausible scenario. although the chances of that happening is like 20%.

Our chances of qualifying for the semis is like 20%. It is not over until it is over.

[quote author=optimus-prime1]Perhaps you have'nt observed that although Musa is quick, he has no tactical intelligence? And yet he plays full 90mins (Left to me as coach, "if" I was to include musa in my team, I'd introduce him as an injection player at the end of the game *that is after he las learned to cross sensible balls*)
Or you have'nt noticed this current crop of S.E strikers are all impotent, Ujah, *Ideye*, Akpala?
Look dude, either Osaze, Martins or Uche should be called back, there should be balanced mix of experience and youth in every team, packing up a Bunch of home based youngsters who still have a lot to learn to Major competitions does not make any sense at alllll...
I.K Uche underperformed@ the AFCON competition because he was fatigued and needed to be rested, mind u he scored almost all the Goals during the qualifiers.
By the way I'd love to pair Emenike and Osaze up together[/quote]Martins was impotent agaimst kenya for 60 mins and had to be substituted, until musa saved the day with the lone goal.
My point is , it is very easy to throw around names, when a supposedly good player is not in a tournament. If musa was not in this tournament, the same people castigating him now, would be throwing his name around as one of the missing link.

The "fatigue" excuse for IK uche, i guess you created that mental excuse for him to compensate for his poor showing at AFCON.

An emotional assessment of the super eagles will not give you an objective assessment.
Keshi should not rest on his oars , if we can raise 4-5 sure forwards in the team(with at least two steady players).Ujah,Akpala and even ideye still need to be given an oppotunity. These guys you are righting off are one of the top scorers in their leagues. Ideye was the 2nd highest goal scorer in ukraine last season with 17 goals not withstanding his absence from the league during AFCON.

We will get it right, all i see is bright stars for the super eagles, i see a shining super eagle

Osaze shoulg not be recalled to the team, we will get it right soon without calling the old legs.

For those shouting emenike ......., he could have flopped also in this tournament, just as IK uche was a flop in AFCON. We will get it right, very very soon, the most important hurdle for the team is to qualify for 2014, world cup, Lots and lots of friendlies using a mix of players will give us a solid team at all compartment of the game , we have guaranteed players at the defence at the moment (omeruo,oboabo, efe, echiejille), the midfield and the forward are were the real work needs to be done. Eagles will soar. Mark my word. A world class team with a bunch of early twenties guys. The super eagles destiny is so bright. If we make it to the 2014 world cup, we will be the first african team to make the semi finals .

"Caring" is a very ambiguous word from a lady.

Ladies hide behind that word to do the wrong things many times

Technically, Nigeria is out of the confederations cup, our ball finishing was our undoing at this tourney

O lies a Metuh resigns? Is he tired of lying for the PDP government ?

this match is a must win, once Nigeria loses against Uruguay , we are close to certainty out of the tournament.
Tahiti will be beaten by Spain and Uruguay.

ofilispeaks: Is it just me or does N300,000,000 not feel like too small for a quality road project? I mean one (1) house in Lekki can cost N100 million? Is he saying that the road is 3 Lekki houses away from perfection

I wonder o, 300 million naira for how many kilometres of road?

Is it direct labour?

kayoday: The cycling athletes rigorously cycled a total of 270 kilometre stretch of road, with rainfall part of the way on the Lagos terrain, starting from the National Stadium and routing Eko Bridge - Marina - Bonny Camp - Ahmadu Bello - BarBeach - 1004 - Falomo - Bourdilon - Foreshore - 3MB - Oworoshoki - Ojota - Otedola gardens - Alausa - Awolowo Way - Allen.Opebi - Sheraton - Bank Anthony - Airport - AgegeMotorWay - Oshodi - Anthony - MaryLand - Ikorodu Road - Western Avenue and back to the Stadium.

Is this distance up to 270 km ?

It is not up to 270 km.

Edited

Chimeluv: He is about leave office and he suddenly remembers the bad roads in onitsha. I hope he compietes it before he leaves office.

You did not read the report, project timeline is 6 months, i believe he has over 12months left in his administration.

The governor said that the road project would cost N300 million and that it would be completed within six months.

Excluding NDDC projects , Bayelsa operate with 70% of the budget of Lagos state, the state with the lowest population in Nigeria and only 8 local governments. One will expect to see a land of eldorado, but.........

CFCfan: Cote D' Ivoire are the 1st team to advance to the 3rd round of the World Cup African qualifying zone. They beat Tanzania 4-2 away.

By my calculation,they will be joined by this other 9 teams
Ethiopia, Tunisia, Ghana, Congo, Nigeria, Egypt,Algeria, Cameroon, Senegal.

Nigeria, Ghana, Cote d'ivoire, Tunisia and Algeria will be seeded .

Unseeded will be Cameroon, Congo, Ethiopia, Egypt and senegal, One of these five will be Nigeria's hurdle to Brazil 2014 world cup.

Nigeria must win the match against Tahiti, and must score as many goals as possible, I have a very funny feeling our qualification from Group B,will be hinged on goals difference

thelastPope: This lie has been debunked over and over again. I wonder why you lot keep bringing it back. It is a fat lie. even the average beggar makes at least 1000 to 2000 per day and the man, his wife and children all beg separately so the argument that the man has to feed his family is false and baseless. The whole family always works. There is no fanily where only the man works and the rest of the family wait at home for him to bring money to them.

The bolded is pure balderdash,there are many family, where only the man works !--- fact 1
Can a 2 year old child work ? How many nigerians are within the ages of 0-5 years?

thelastPope: A bag of pure water in 60 naira from the truck drivers. It contains 20 sachets. At 10 naira each, you make a profit of 140 per bag. A woman by the road side who sells 10 bags a day, makes 1400. That is not the only thing she normally sells. She also sells othe rstuff like candy, biscuits, cigarettes, etc.

That a man earns more than 1 dollar per day does not means he lives on more than one dollar per day ----fact 2

thelastPope: A dirt disposal guy, called kolekole, makes a minimum of 700 to 100 per trip. A bag of dirt is around 100 naira and the cart can tale up to 8 to 10 bags, depending on the contents. This guy can make several trips in a day. The council guys will charge him about 100 to 200 per trip so he still goes away with around 500 per trip. if he does 5 trips from morning to evening, he makes 2500.

A man doing daily labor as a bricklayer, plumber, etc collects between 1200 and 2500 a day.

All these people I mentioned are amongst the lowest earners in the society. Their families also work. They dont sit at home waiting for the man to bring money. His daugthers work as sales girls in various places. He sons work as mechanics, truck loading guys. etc. They all earn money. Sometimes, his family members earn more than him

Stop spreading these lies. There is poverty no doubt but no one lives on $1 a day.

That a man earns and lives on more than 1 dollar per day does not mean his immediate family lives on more than 1 dollar per day. ----- fact 3

There are many low income earners who feed and live large and hardly take care of their wife's and children.

thelastPope: You cant even use the almajiri as an example. The almajiri is not a regular Nigerian. They are an anomaly created from a system of feudal repression. These lies were concated by NGOs and government agencies to extort monies from international donors.

Almajiris are nigerians ----- fact 4

They constitute over 10% of the Nigerian population

4 Play: The claim that most live on less than a dollar a day should not be seen as the income of a working adult. It is what in aggregate any living person in Nigeria lives on, from a toddler to an elderly person.

Demographically, Nigeria's population is very young with a huge chunk of the population made up of children who are not in work, at least not for a decent wage. Imagine a family of 6, mum and dad with 4 young kids. If the dad takes home 18,000 Naira and mum works part-time and takes home 9,000 Naira. Total take home pay is $29, i.e., 27,000/155. Divided over a family of 6, the family is living on less than $1 a day , $29/6.

@ op, study this post, it might change your perception.

The adults in the family depicted (hus & wife)most likely also have an aging mother or father who dont work anymore, and are largely dependent on them.

thelastPope: Most PDP govs are performing badly yet the best govs in the country since 1999 are PDP governors. Please what is the achievement of nasarawa, ogun, oyo, ekiti and osun govs again? Oh I forgot, the osun guy bought pads for students without classes and teachers, sorry. What a great achievement, lol. And the other one built a flyover bridge. Lol

Compare that pathetic list with Enugu, Rivers, Akwa ibom, Cross rivers and even ondo states and tell me again which govs are performing poorly. Lol

Of the 23 PDP governors, you could only list 5, in actual fact 4, since you borrowed one from labour party.

After Odili's disaster of 8 years, Rivers Amaechi was denied the PDP ticket by the PDP's national leadership, in 2007, PDP picked a stooge in the name of celestine omehia, Amaechi one of the few "shining" light is currently suspended by PDP. One of the reasons i gave for PDP poor showing in

Cross rivers Liyel Imoke in the last 6 years can not be any where listed as a performer, he has never been a performer either as minister of power or governor he is below average. What tangible project can he boast off.


Akwa Ibom Akpabio after 6 years is a ray of hope, even though i am aware he operates with a budget more than the budget of lagos state and 4 million people, he does not witness one-third of the challenges of lagos state, his human capital development is also a disaster.

Enugu state, in 6 years Sullivan chime is the only one i respect from the list of your performers, with the little he has, there is value for budget

Ondo state Mimiko is not in PDP yet
