these kind of threads do not last on NL again

Even here where he has agents, the result is overwhelmingly obvious that the GEJ is part of the corruption. Only God knows how much he's spent on campaign! Where does he get all the money? Nobody seems to be asking question, yet they want change. There's too much delusion in Nigeria - only a few individuals in PDP are enjoying the goodies of this country. Yet, many will still vote the party come this Saturday. We are to continue the circle for another 4 years. In a few months' time, we start to complain again. Haba! How is insanity defined again?

Good news!
can we have this on home page, pls?

@ Sarah - that's a truth.
Here in Surulere, I witnessed massive voting for ACN. Haven't got details yet, but will update later

Methinks this is still a good idea from Jega. At least there's transparency now than before.

Even though we're disappointed, Jega has already proven to be a better man than Iwu at INEC
imo

BREAKING NEWS: INEC reschedules all elections after "wider consultations and representation with stakeholders." National Assembly: April 9, Presidential: April 16, Governorship: April 26. Just listened to Prof Jega now

As a typical Lagosian, I cannot recall the number of places I've eaten. However, I agree with those who recognise the WHITE HOUSE in Sabo Yaba. They're quite organised and professionals. Na there I first take see Basketmouth

Arsenal goal: Quality - and that is game over. Nicklas Bendtner seizes on a loose ball on the left-hand side of the Leyton Orient penalty area, cuts inside, holds off the challenge of Andrew Whing and curls a right-foot shot into the bottom far corner, past Jamie Jones. Bendtner, ever the provocateur, cups his ear to the fans by way of celebration.

Arsenal goal: Difficult to see the O's getting back into it now. Kieran Gibbs floats over a cross from the Gunners left and great Dane Nicklas Bendtner gets up above Charlie Daniels to direct a 10-yard header superbly into the left-hand corner of the Orient net. Cracking use of his bonce.

I'd take being that rubbish, any day of any week. Meanwhile at the Emirates, Arsenal are huffing and puffing but they are struggling to find any real fluency against Leyton Orient. They continue to lead 1-0.

The crowd need warming up. Arsenal look like they are just doing enough, and really that isn't enough. They are holding back a little bit and they should be trying to finish the job off as soon as possible."

Maybe Real will never beat Lyon after all. A free-kick from the right is headed back across goal by Cris for Bafetimbi Gomis to meet the dropping ball with a first-time shot past Iker Casillas. All-square at Stade Gerland with less than four minutes to go.

Could the Lyon jinx be about to end? Mesut Ozil and Cristiano Ronaldo link up well before releasing Karim Benzema, who had come off the bench to replace the ineffective Emmanuel Adebayor seconds earlier. The former Lyon striker still has work to do but runs across goal before beating Hugo Lloris with a low shot.

IMHO Just a waste of time and another opportunity for those guys to continue syphoning our money

I wonder
How can this guy claims he wants to be 'democratic' when he would not even allow us to talk?

Naija I hail

He wants to become our ruler and still wants to gag us
You can take the man out of the jungle but you cannot take the monster out of him
shiorrr

lol

Hopefully this guy will understand that Nigerians can stand up against wrong sometimes

Babangida Takes Desperate Measures In Face of Collapsing Campaign

SaharaReporters, New York
Former Nigerian dictator Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida is adopting more desperate measures in the face of signs that his campaign for the Nigerian presidency has no steam.

Babangida’s latest misfortunes came from a video he uploaded to youtube. The video was an invitation to people to visit Babangida’s campaign website. But soon after the video was posted on youtube, anti-Babangida groups began mobilizing their members and the Nigerian public to leave critical comments on the youtube video page.

A source inside Babangida’s dispirited campaign told Saharareporters that several of Babangida’s staffers spent the last two days deleting negative postings and writing positive comments on the video. But by yesterday, when it became clear that they could not cope with the deluge of negative comments, the Babangida campaign office received instructions to lock down the commentary section on youtube.

The desperate step is the latest in a series of woes befalling the presidential dreams of the former dictator whose regime murdered foremost Nigerian journalist Dele Giwa in October 1986.

Since announcing his widely unpopular intention to run in the forthcoming presidential election, Babangida has blundered from one gaffe to another, earning derision and condemnation from Nigerians. The former dictator’s grave missteps include a statement that young Nigerians do not have what it takes to lead the country and a recent statement that he would not answer questions about the assassination of Giwa as well as his annulment of the June 12, 1993 presidential polls won by the late businessman Moshood Abiola. “General Babangida’s statements have been generally incoherent and even destructive to his ambition,” said one of the former dictator’s former associates who is not backing him for the presidency.

Babangida’s campaign has neither got any traction nor made any progress even as he is using part of the funds he looted from the public treasury to revive the campaigns. He was forced to abandon his much-publicized campaign stop in Ibadan, capital of Oyo State, after youths warned that they would not let him appear in the ancient city.

“Lots of people are taking IBB’s money, but no one is really buying his snake oil,” said a civil rights activist in Abuja.

Babangida is widely hated by Nigerians, including many who were not even born when he was chased out of power in 1993 following his annulment of the June 12 1993 general elections.


In addition to his political crimes, Babangida stands accused of stealing over $12 billion from the Gulf War oil windfall of 1991. The letter bomb murder of Dele Giwa ranks as one of his most notorious crimes.

Military intelligence sources also accuse him of killing many military officers opposed to his rule either by implicating them in phony coup plots or, in a highly dramatic instance, by ordering the sabotage of a military jet carrying many officers.

His economic policy, known as the Structural Adjustment Program (SAP), was largely responsible for destroying the Nigerian economy in the 1980s and decimating the country’s middle class.

“Babangida has managed to evade trial for his many crimes against the Nigerian people by using his illegitimately acquired wealth to buy his cronies, like former President Obasanjo, into office,” said a former military intelligence operative. “These cronies in turn offer him state protection.”

As his campaign flounders, Babangida yesterday resorted to his usual divide-and-conquer form of politics. He stated that he only wants to stay in office for one term after which he would turn over power to an Igbo successor.

But a major Igbo politician told Saharareporters that Babangida’s cheap ploy would win him few votes in the southeast. “The Igbos have borne the brunt of institutional marginalization promoted by Babangida and his colleagues in the army,” said the politician, adding that the former dictator unceremoniously removed Commodore Ebitu Ukiwe, an officer of Igbo extraction, from his post number 2 in IBB’s regime. “Ukiwe was disgraced and humiliated despite the fact that he was one of the most upright and admirable officers in the Nigerian military,” said the politician.
