Oh but they've already been denied U.S. visas and or bounced back at POE

It's easy to spot them from their frustrations.

Don't mind the silly TANOIDS, they should take their frustrations to RUSSIA, hope they enjoy liberal Russia

The only people attacking OBAMA are GEJ TANOIDS, just hope they will stay away from getting US visas.

The only people supporting Fayose are the ones, who are not related to Fayose either by Tribe or Family.
Some of them don't even know Fayose village.

I hope Fayose I ready to relocate out of the SW when he finally leaves office, because Ekiti people and Yorubas in general are VINDICTIVE and UNFORGIVING.

Parties spend N4.9bn on political adverts

By Princewill Ekwujuru

With just five days to the March 28 elections, advertising spend on political campaigns has been estimated to have cost political parties, friends and well wishers of those seeking elective offices a princely N4.9 billion so far. However, federal and state advert regulatory agencies have expressed displeasure over publications of unapproved advert materials.
Campaign-posters
According to data gathered from different advert agencies and reports from advert regulatory bodies, the print media have so far raked in about N1.382 billion of the advert spend, with the All Progressives Congress, APC spending N332.503 million on its presidential candidate, while its Peoples Democratic Party, PDP counterpart spent N1.049 billion, which is 65.5 per cent higher than the amount spent by APC. Field reports further put other expenses on campaign rallies for PDP and APC at N1.057 billion and N595.082 million respectively. Both parties also spent N224.36 million on outdoor campaigns.
The broadcast campaign coverage for the presidential candidates were put at N508.35 million and N391.05 million for PDP and APC. Electronic media adverts were N733.9million for PDP and N555.6 million for APC respectively, bringing the total amount to N2.5 billion. In summary, a total of N4.973 billion has been spent on campaign expenses, with PDP and APC spending N3.549 billion and N1.424 billion respectively.

What happened to LIVESCORE?They decided not to update their site.

PapiWata:
Sir, I do understand and appreciate your passion for watching reality TV, but I must remind you that such armchair observations recorded from the comfort of your living room in Lagos are of very limited practical significance, when it comes to understanding the operational policies of police forces outside of Nigeria.

Have a good day, and keep trying for that UK visa, so that you too can see with your own eyes how the law works outside of Nigeria.

LoL, you people can talk anyhow here, so UK visa is now so difficult.

I am surprised you don't even know the UK police arrest procedure.

KoloOyinbo:
Now we are converging! This is a definite possibility. Although my thought is that it should be recognised in passing and move on! I do my best to help.

I have been coming to Naija for 15 years training people.

Once on my course was a guy who kept arguing against everything I was teaching. He was easily proved wrong but at the end to cover his embarrassment he said:

Why do we need to pay you guys so much and bring you from Europe to train us. Why not use another Nigerian?

(A VERY valid question by the way and one I have GREAT sympathy for)

I answered simply:

If you had anyone here who COULD do it them you would be using THEM and not me. (Lack of Airfares etc would make it MUCH more economical).

Then I added:

If he had spent less time arguing (and it was simply that he wanted to prove an oyinbo wrong) and more time learning then HE could very well be one of those who WOULD be doing the training instead of me!

Lets stop looking for things to blame and work together to progress Africa!

This is exactly what the Asians, Japanese, Chinese e.t.c are doing to get developed.

ghostofsparta:
Typical spoon-feed-me question, why can't you go do your research and share your findings with us here ?

No need for unnecessary bickering.

The liberalized mind develops fasters .

ghostofsparta:
When fools with lazy arse can spend time and effort to research and investigate sh1t out just as the likes of me have done for years and is still doing, they come here to ask sh1tty question.

Your question isn't really a question, it is a presentation that presumes to assert a Eurocentric belief system which you've been fed since infancy like the majority of Africans on this platform.

Forumites who knows sh1t shouldn't fuel this guy's intention to provoke unnecessary racial-like arguments. If he's unable to go conduct research on his own for he knows not where to begin, sources and books can be recommended to him.

Go read How Europe Underdeveloped Africa like someone suggested, go read The Lost Science of Africa, go read God Is Black by Naiwo Osahon, go read all of Cheikh Antah Diop's book from and in the meantime you may begin with the following thread to clear some wrong notion in your thoughts.
thread 1


While you at it, let me get back to writing my critical response to the racist propaganda film Exodus: Gods and Kings'

Typical blame game, why didn't the Europeans Underdeveloped Asia.

successhunter:
Yea, the white got what it takes to make it happened then. We seems coward, novice and too respectful to challenge anything.

The common trend among developed countries, is the ability to to question their rules, tradition, cultures and leaders.
But africans just follow these rules, tradition, cultures and leaders.

frankmoney:
I have always wanted to ask this question , where was Africa when Europe and the rest where developing ? how come we don't have great early inventors or physicist such as Einstein and iseac newton ?what were we doing around the early 1900's or 1800's ? contributions are needed

Liberalism and Exploration help Europe.

Africans are too conservative.

fidnas:
intelligence and creativity are two distinct qualities and some theories believe there's a relationship btw both. A science student is more likely to show intelligence than creativity because learning is repetitive with little top ups once in a while. there's repetition of theories n formula passed from one generation to another. that does not mean that science students cannot be creative as well. hence the tech innovations, new formula etc. This also does not mean students in arts classes aren't intelligent. knowledge is passed but arts classes are more prone to allowing new ideas. hence d much creativity here.

A science student- intelligence
An arts student -- creativity

Business student-intelligence + creativity

Yes reminds me of all the Money Rituals Movie's in early 90s.

And some people will be shouting PDP is United in Ogun, PDP, elders are known for extream greed.
They'll never share money they collect within thier party.

superstar1:
I repeat you do not understand the politics of SW. The mere fact that Osinbajo is from SW against a candidacy of GEJ/Sambo will nullify all those you mentioned.

You expect SW not to vote for their own or what?

Don't mind them, 80% of those people (Obas, and co) PGEJ gave money won't vote.
More than 90% of Yorubas that didn't get a penny from GEJ will be voting, and they will not vote GEJ, inother to disgrace those AKOTILETAs.
Yorubas are very vindictive and unforgiving when it come to Politics.

Assuming any of the bullets hit him (God 4bid) you and I would be proving whether he committed any crime or not; and it would have ended in the same apology.
Maybe you need to ask those that lived in PH during the militancy era to educate you on how they use to comport themselves

If the bullets hits him, PGEJ will be apologising to the North until election is over.

Prof Ango Abdullahi is not just anybody, he is an elder statesman.

uncleck:
I think your comment is second to the worst i have read on this post. I don't type much, but try what the prof. did and see whether you will be alive to narrate your story.

To those of you trying to justify prof's action, please sell your pride and buy common sense.

And what crime did the prof commit here?
You probably fail to follow the story that the Military has already tendered apologies to the prof.

The Prof is a top Northern leader, killing him at this time won't be funny.

DebateNigeria:
My fellow youth, I guess you did not read what I read or maybe you don't understand. I did not support the commissioner neither did I support the journalist. Journalists in Nigeria are too "one sided". They need to be more professional. Why didn't the journalist go to court, sue the police and or whoever.....
Well, these old men who ruined our nation are still hanging around in both parties, from the presidential candidate of the APC to all those old folks surrounding President GEJ.

Did the Journalist told the commissioner to Kneel before Madam?
Journalist did his job, like any other Journalist worldwide, even American Journalists poke their First lady all the time.

But the CP is drunk for saying he can't protect certain citizen, why is he a Policeman.

So PDP is admitting KASHAMU is corrupt.

When will the Americans learn to shut up there mouth..


#TalkTooMuch..

When you will stop looking for Americans VISA.

Dav24:
I have just put this guy among the top three liars in the world. How on earth can Americans released such a sensitive information to you? I realized that you have joined the fake propaganda train of the APC. I m very much sure that the essence of your misinformation ends up to be a display of ignorance to the public domain. what a shame!

The information is no longer sensitive, since the purpose has been defeated.

I am surprised that some Nigerian don't know about sleeping-gas(Incapacitating agent).

I am shocked that people can't notice that the NA and CJTF are shooting at an empty town, notice when the guy orders ceasefire the whole town is quiet.
To me this is a MOP-UP operation.

scholes0:
Read carefully...

Talking purely from a geographical point of view, Some parts of the SS are actually South Western (Edo, Delta, Bayelsa), while the other three are South Eastern (Rivers, Cross River, Akwa Ibom)
But since SW and SE are already associated strongly with yorubas and igbos respectively, it became "imperative" to coin out a name to represent the southern minorities and their zone, into a geopolitical region that is neither yoruba nor igbo in nature.
If you all remember well, the SS states of Edo, Delta were once in the Yoruba dominated Western region, while others like Akwa Ibom and Cross river, were once in the Igbo dominated Eastern region---- the Niger Delta people wanted none of that anymore, and wanted to assert their own independence, so they all coalesced into a separate southern region.
In the correct terms, the South West is properly termed, but the so called "South East" of today, should actually be East Central, and the so called "south-south" should be just South.

noblezone:
I dont know where you were!
But Jonathan's first approach was to abolish the system!
The so called Northern leaders said never!!!

If he was vindictive, he would had allowed them to be.

What did he do?
Take his dream of educating those unfortunate and exploited kids to their door steps.
Bros, the strategy is working!
With the schools,they will stop begging.
They learn other things apart from Islamic and Arabic studies,.

Now, if you want who will abolish the system completely, speak to Buhari, IBB, Abdusalami, Atiku, Ango Abdulahi, governors of the affected states, etc.

http://www.vanguardngr.com/2012/04/almajiri-education-modern-gang-up-against-ancient-tradition/

So you know the GEJ himself is not comfortable with the Almajiri educational system.
Why is GEJ now building the same system he is not comfortable with?
And who you Almajiri will keep them outta school, when the curriculum is still the same.

noblezone:
I checked your link and saw you are actually ignorant!

Let me educate you a bit!

In the north, you have Islamic teachers (Mallams) who run Almjeri "schools"!
Fathers bring their sons from tender ages to this mallams.

They are thought the Koran and Islamics studies.
Then they are sent out to go and beg on the streets (as a sign of humility).

That is the system the writer is talking about!!!!

Jonathan came up and suggested they should abolish it, leaders of the North kicked against it!

so Jonathan decided to adjust the system!
1. build class rooms.
2. Give them uniforms
3. Feed them (stop them from begging)
4. Introduce other subjects, (English, Maths, arts, science)

In other words, Jonathan's Almajeri school is like Primary Schools that offer basic education!

What we want is result and not definitions and names.
That is a revolution!

Do your research very well sir.

I am sorry for being political, it is my genes!

What do you mean by Jonathan's Almajeri school ?
Almajeri school is Almajeri school no difference.

What GEJ did is a sign of VINDICTIVENESS against the North.
He is simply saying if the north want poison(Almajeri school) he will give them the poison(Almajeri school).

noblezone:
Your Excellency!

Your name rang bells to my ears each time I hear it.
The tales of your performance in Lagos crosses the shores of Nigeria.
To some extent sir, your name even came up several times as a presidential hopeful (but this is Nigeria, you are not from "catchment area".

In the midsts of touts like Amechi, liars like Lai, "lords" like Tinubu, and tyrants like Buhari, I still listened to you with attention and wished you belonged to the camp of real progressives.

You do make sense almost each time you speak!

However Sir, your recent comment about Jonathan an the Almajeri schools is kill joy!
You have destroyed what ever admiration and respect some of us have for you.

I knew that this is politics and you must to all you can for you party to win.
If you use the inability of Mrs Jonathan to speak Queens English (I don't speak it myself), I can understand.
If you accuse Jonathan of being responsible for the misrule of the PDP from 1999 (incidentally, OBJ and Atiku are now in your camp),or I can understand.
IF you accuse Jonathan of looting N30 Trillion (As mentioned by Soludo, though I am aware that he annual National budget never crossed N5 Trillion), I can still understand.
If you shout that one Dollar is now pursuing N500, I can also understand.

I can go on and on....but I am sure you have got my drift.

But to speak against one of the greatest silent Revolution of Jonathan's administration (The invention and Implementation of Almajeri Schools) is not only mischievous but insensitive as well.

The average Northern Moslems lock up their daughters in the bedroom and covered their faces, while their sons are sent out to the streets with plates ( a practice inherited from some primitive teachings in the name of God).

The average Northern Moslem leaders saw nothing wrong with the practice:
Great names like Buhari, IBB, Abdusalami, Atiku, Shagari, Balarebe Musa, El Rufai, Lawal Kaita, Ango Abdullahi, Adamu Chiroma, and the rest of their great leaders, both present and past, never bothered, never cared.

Even Yaradua never bothered..

Education is the right of every human! While the children of the elites like Buhari are schooling in London (we all know how poor he is, else his children might be studying in the moon and not any where near the earth), the Almajeri's are left on the streets, without hope.

Those are are the easy recruits for Islamic violence in the north! They are the easy prey of predators like Boko Haram Jihardists.


Enters Jonathan!

Even if he only dropped the idea, that would have still be great toward solving the problems created by primitive religious ideologies in the North. Yet, he went ahead to implemented such!

If not for any other reason, that these kids have something else to occupy their minds instead of hearing that "Boko is Haran"!
That is a step in the right direction!!!

Fashola, how dare you!!!
How dare you open your mouth to speak against this great idea from a great mind??
Must you allow your mind to be twisted just in the name of "Opposition"?

What is exactly the change you folks are talking about?
IF building schools for the Almajeris is not a change, please sir, what is change?


I dare to say,

Shame on you!
Shame on the APC
and shame to all who support this deceit!


cheers to all.

[/s]


I thought you are going to be APOLITICAL with your argument, but its unfortunate.

The question for you is how do Almajiri students proceed further in their educational career? e.g Primary -Secondary -University.
Where is the future for Almajiri students, why not create Basic primary schools.

The Almajiri System of Education in Nigeria should be abolished.

I don't believe Kano is more violent than Lagos expect the occasional bomb blast. I have lived in both cities.

Are you dreaming, how many times do you see this kind of robbery in Lagos.
Unlike a Kano under BK siege.
