Fool.

TinyToes: When contacted on the telephone, the Police Public Relations Officer, Lagos State Police Command, Ngozi Braide, confirmed the accident to our correspondent. Braide said the matter was reported as a fatal car accident and that Chinyere had been charged to court.

Can you imagine the comment of the Police PRO.
This is not an accident.

Arysexy: Hw many stella thread is on frontpage? Up to 7! Yet a crime of same worth and amount from across d oda syd of d niger has been hidden in violent and disgusting section.

Hmmmmm!

Well these criminals went to jail, unlike your Igbo sister boasting in criminality.

He said there were only 150,000 telephone lines for over 150 million people when NITEL was not privatised, but with privatisation, the country now had over 120 million lines.

Professor you lied,
NITEL is not fully privatized.

It is deregulation that boost the Telecommunications industry, not privatisation.

originbm: ive long been disillusioned.so you are correct.The only Yoruba man i respect is wole soyinka.And of course he is not just a yoruba man.he is a generational gift to mankind.

u come here to argue that you guys fought a war.which war?chicanery worked for u so kudos.but that is where it stops.it will never work again,because we all know that our enemies are not the hausas.its the yorubas.

i salute all the puritanical and nationalistic igbos,that seek for the head of oduah.you will only end up like zik who was so immersed with nationalism and do goodism that his people became orphans.while he was being pan african,awo was plotting his strategy.

Those that do not know their history r not only condemned to repeat it,but to remain a slave to it.

Lies Igbos don't like Wole Shoyinka.

Stop you hypocrisy.

Uuzba Guuzba: Guy we nead plain English here. Yes these companies are american.... But the products thay are made off these companies, That your Iphone, is from China! I have a DELL PC clearly labled "Made in China" I have never handled a single "Made in USA product" Go to Coscharis and go and look at Ford. Enter inside and check the engine parts and the leather upholstry, they will write... MADE IN CHINA. ... Which part of theses American products are made in USA and exported to you?

My friend, everything made in China is not a Chinese product.

Toyota has manufacturing plants In US and China, but Toyota is a Japanese products.
Every American products manufactured in China belong to America, both In patent and products.
It is called Globalization.

BayoAA: I will like to shed some light on this issue. I am directly involved in all these projects (Except Geregu) from inception to their present stages.

Firstly, The only person that does not deserve any credit per power projects is Yar Adua for forestalling these project for over 2 years.

Federal Power projects in Nigeria including NIPP is a brainchild of OBJ. He started all the phase one projects and completed them.

By the time the machines were shipped to Nigeria, OBJ is almost a "Gonner" even though he tried to fight for a 3rd term.

When Yar Adua came to power, instead of him to continue this project, he started his probes which left all these machines in the port without proper preservation for over 2 years. Some were rotten (Especially the sensitive control systems and electrical panels) while some were even sold by some Nigerian officials.

GEJ moved in swiftly to arrest the power problem in Nigeria by releasing fund to complete these projects. He desErves the Kudo for the continuity in these projects and for funding it after the issues caused by Yar Adua's govt.

The contract for Omotosho II and Olorunsogo II were signed (MOU) in 2007.

Thanks for this information.

Some don't even know the ENERGY REFORM BILL was passed and signed by OBJ.

Without that bill no privatization can happen in the Power sectors.

@op
Microsoft,Dell,Hp,Cisco,Oracle,Apple,IBM,ford,GM,e.t.c are American companies.

American companies dominate the technology world.

atlwireles: If he/she, brings peace and security to the Northeast and he or she gets paid with groundnut dollars, they can knock themselves out. Tompolo's company brought peace to the pipelines in the creeks. Mainly the Nembe line. How many times were those lines vandalized in 2011-2012 Since the noise makers killed the contract, how peaceful are the pipelines?? By the way neva compare the Nigerdelta fighters with boko haram. Only dishonest people attempt that fraud.

Lol, money from groundnut and money from oil is Nigerias money.
ND fighters and Bono haram, are both militants.

atlwireles: So what Did we come crying to you? Your so call educated children still have to score less to attend school than my creek kids in delta. Keep pretending to yourself. Tompolo is not asking your phada to pay his bills, mind your own damn business.

Guy cool down, wasn't Tompolo thesame militant being hunted by the Nigerian government?
Are saying there us no other qualified ND or Nigerian to do that job.
If a Northerner becomes the president after GEJ will you be happy if Boko-Haram leaders get national defence contract.

Rare Diamond: You people have all these, yet you people suffer from poverty and diseases. Nonsense!!! We Ijaws supported Obasanjo, why cant you yorubas support us ? Do you know there are Igbo people in Delta and Rivers state ?WHEN THE TIME COMES YOU WILL KNOWN THAT NIGER DELTA AND IGBOS ARE UNITIED. GEJ FOR PRESIDENT

Lol, are you saying the region with the highest IGR ad GDP in Nigeria is suffering from poverty and diseases.
I am sure you don't know the SW.

Obasanjo greatest critics and opposition is from the SW, so what is your point.

Rare Diamond: I ALWAYS LAUGH WHEN I SEE A YORUBA MAN LIKE YOU PRETENDING TO BE A NIGER DELTAN YET NO LACK COMPLETE KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT WE IN THE NIGER DELTA WANTS. IF NIGERIA DIVIDES TODAY MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT, THE NIGER DELTA WOULD EITHER FORM A COUNTRY WITH THE IGBOS OR STAND ALONE WITH STRONG COOPERATION WITH NDI IGBO. YOU ARE JUST A FRUSTRATED YORUBA BIGOT WHO IS FULL OF FEAR. WE THE IJAWS HAVE MADE IT CLEAR THAT WE WOULD VOTE GEJ IN 2015 AND NDI IGBO IN 2019, THE SOONER YOU YORUBA & HAUSA BIGOTS REALIZE THIS, THE BETTER.

Stop the lies, you are Igbo not Ijaw.

Yorubas got nothing to loose of Nigeria goes apart.
We have good land for Agriculture
We have large Crude oil deposit in Lagos, Ogun and Ondo.
We are currently the most industrialized region in Nigeria with Ogun leading.
We have the best educational institutions in Nigeria.

Lol, they don't even know the difference between Mono rails and standard Rails.
They don't know that State government cannot build interstate railway.

Kudos to Aregbe.

lygn19: Shutup which oil is in ogun state not to talk of lagos, because of d fact that one of d oil pipes channeling oil to ogun and lagos state got burst, all of a sudden lagos state has oil...lol''' u re saying ondo has oil, y don't u let d ilaje ppl join der Ijaw brothers in d southsouth so that we can be sure of d oil u re talking abt.

I am sure you are delusional, you can confirm from DPR/NNPC states with hydrocarbons deposits in Nigeria.

Try educate yourself on these issues

ijaw citizen: Good work DaLover, you should know I truely adore you & I'm your number One fan, no homo.


@ Others.
It seems from the replies here that majority of the parasites have concluded that the hosts on whom the parasites feed should not call the shots. What a shame!

All good parasites either from the north or the west must start behaving like their eastern counterparts if they wanna continue being fed by understanding the etiquette of being a parasite:

When the host says jump, the good parasite says "how
high"?.

You people always talk as if oil is only produced in the ND.

Is Ondo part of the ND, Lagos and Ogun will soon join the list.

The lady is dumb, how could you follow a stranger home.

What if the guy insists he must bang, and nobody to rescue the Mumu girl.

Rossikk: Go and stand where the boko boys are hanging out and see if the "relic fighters" won't wipe your sorry assss off the face of the earth. Ewu!

Why insulting the person making a valid point.
How does bombing wipe out insurgents, we need attack helicopters and drones.

uche08: Before he became a governor, Olusegun Kokumo Agagu was the Aviation Minister under Olusegun Obasanjo. Under his watch Aviation sector in Nigeria became a death trap and a nightmare for many travellers. Mr. Agagu he helped his pocket. A few years later, his dead body “re-died” alongside of his many other family members. This reminds me of Abdukarim Adisa as minister of Works. Although he was from Ilorin, Adisa refused to fix the Ibadan Ilorin road. Few years later he died in an accident on the same road. I hope all the other imbeciles ruling Nigeria know that life & death can also be a metaphor. Corruption has a way of fighting back, when you least expect it. Fix Nigeria. You will not only invariably fix your family in the process, but your future, and your future resting place

My friend Agagu did not die in the Plane crash, innocent people did.
Get your fact, It can be you tomorrow.

Guys I can't find Gbengas name on this list.https://www.nairaland.com/1464167/lagos-plane-crash-list-passengers

Nothing like NAIRALAND.

Really learning and discerning.

tomakint: Concrete? A revelation is a revelation and this is just few of what lies beneath the 'dead and buried behemoth called June 12' you better get used to it! If IBB dies today, more shocker will be revealed!

In your dreams June.

Happywoman: Ok we have heard ur point loud and clear encyclopediaSagamitica ? The situation is live and going on as we type .
Pray sir, what is your suggestion on the way forward?
We can't start training the Kenyan Force now using your curriculum .That will be next semesters pre-requisite course for them.
so for the NOW proffer a solution from your arsenal of knowledge or forever hold your peace.

Kenyans Stay Strong!

I heard the Israeli are on ground.

Sagaman: I am not blaming them for terrorist attacking them. That is what terrorism normally is: "unexpected".

I am blaming them for their unplanned and unprofessional response.

Apparently such criticism of the repeated sub-standard and failure of how Africans do things is pontification.

But I am happy to be called "Pontiff"!

African loves to celebrate their mediocrity even when with the same resources employed they could be reasonably good.

I am the last person to celebrate any African security agency.
The only people they know how to control are innocent civilians.When it comes to national security they apply politics,corruption,mediocrity and sentiments.

Sagaman: What I would expect from you is to back-up your argument that they need to raised their arms 90 degrees up with evidence. Not ridicule the evidence I brought you via youtube.

What are you trying to say? You would prefer I merely state it than provide video as evidence?

Don't be ridiculous, my friend. Your argument was not reasoned and did not show evidence of knowledge of security operations.

If you make an assertion and you are corrected. Stand corrected! You aint flustering nobody.

If advocating that Africa has to always try and be the best in everything they do is pontification, please let me be "Ponfiff".

I don't stand for sub-standard. I stand for always trying to be the best you can be within the resources limitation on you. That to you is pontification, to me it is way of life.

If Africa takes that as a way of life, I can guarantee you that the loss of life in these kind of situation would be limited. It costs peanuts to give this training in the current world of free information we live in.

It is a joke you give excuses for a country that is under red-alert not to plan for situations like this.

Africa needs better brains to do better.

Next time if you don't have a point, stand corrected.

My Brother terrorists have full knowledge of their environment.

They know how to attack the US and developed countries, inflicting heavy damages.

The last time they attacked Russia, the Russians went in and kill both Terrorists and hostages.

If they try this on Israelis, the whole of Gaza and Westbank will be paying for it.

But they are attacking Kenya this way because they know how the Kenyans will react.
These people were able to kill Nigerian Soldiers because they know the system vary well.

It is not easy fighting Terrorist in Africa,even if you're a
President.
