As of the last count, we had one President of Nigeria. , Who are the 2rd, 3rd and 4th President that the four Presidential Jets are supposed to convey?

I have often thought NL was a place to engage in reasonable discourse but when I see intelligence-challenged commentaries, It really leaves one wondering.

Obama shut down the Internet? Does the Internet belong to the American government?
Granted, they participation in this global infrastructure is the largest,but the Internet is a decentralized global network that is not controlled by any individual, institution or government. Even the different Internet Registries or the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) doenot boast of that much power over the entire Internet.

Before posting comments or opinions on NL, a little research wouldnt hurt.

@ Poster: Read through your statement which I copied out so as you can read through and tell me what you find odd in it

I am not really one to bring up such issues, except in the confines of my home and with my family, but watching Big brother lately, I had little choice.
There is this contestant called Nkenna in the house, SHE IS SUPPOSED TO BE A NIGERIAN AND "IGBO" FOR THAT MATTER.

Why the emphasis on her ethnic group? Educate me.

I am a little confused as to the side of the fence Pastor Bakare belongs to, which brings to mind a verse of the Bible that says "A Double Minded Man Is Unstable in All His Ways". Last year, during his "Annual Independence day broadcast", he posited that Nigeria's president is SICK (an obvious fact), and that a SICK leader (quoting a verse from the bible) cannot preside over a nation.Ostensibly, due to aspersions cast on him by Nigerians who felt that as a Man of God, instead of condemning the president as being sick,he should call for divine intervention to remedy the president's ill-health condition,Pastor Bakare, the following year (2009), adviced the Nation to desist  from critical attacks on the president on the basis of his health condition and that the physical condition of a Leader should not be the criterion for electing people to public offices. He citied President Thodore Roosevelt, who was confined to a wheel chair, as an example of performance not being tied to the physical well being of a leader.
Not one that delights in taking swipes at Men-Of-God, But I think that certain utterances by our religious leaders should be guided and well thought of before being expresses in a public forum. Granted, Nigerians adore individuals who come out to openly criticise political leaders, but critical attacks on the Government is not the basis for judging who a true Man Of God is. A great number of Religious leaders can go on TV stations (paying over 5Million per hour on AIT for a live broadcast) and critize the ruling class, but they would rather tread on the path of Wisdom and instead pray for the revival of the Nation.

With the negative media bashing of Nigeria's already molested international image,on account of the participation of Nigerian nationals in 419 activities within and outside the boarders of Nigeria, I am begginning to wonder if ,truly, we are not a 419 state. Please, you views are solicited.
