anitank: Seriously I would hate to sound like some old fashioned lady here because that is so on the contrary..... but would you have your 6 year old girl dressed up like that (which I didn't really take seriously), and then posing for the camera with her butt popped out from behind,pouting like that? Isn't that going to start getting the attention of guys who would think she's hot(which sometimes lead to child molestation and ra-pe)

Shame on you OP. Are you sure you are not a man posing as female ? Any adult who takes advantage of a child this young whatever she is wearing/not wearing and whatever the look on her face ought to be castrated.SMH

Where is Swaziland ?

Very pathetic.Poor souls. They are afraid to go because they fear that Mr Fashola will remove their wheelbarrows and useless shops in Ladipo and Alaba before they return. SMH

Ibadan .No show for 3rd day running. No petrol at stations also. Useless country. I should have spent christmas in Niamey or Wagadugu as I initially planned. See me now. SMH

mazaje: Why are Nigerians too superstitious and believe too much in this juju myth?. . .

Why do Nigerians keep believing all all these nonsense?. . .I am not talking about rural dwellers, am talking about university educated people that attended universities in Europe and America. . .A friend was telling me just yesterday that evil spirits are now flying all over Nigerian roads killing people because its december and they know that people travel a lot, This is a man that we are doing PHD together . . .How can an educated person reason like this?. . .Many people I know here still believe that evil spirits and witches still spread diseases around. . .Many educated Nigerians believe they can use juju to get money, get women/men etc. . . .Just recently I was watching discovery science and they were doing a show about a bra that can detect cancer and notify the woman wearing it while Nigerians are busy blaming cancer on witches or evil spirit somewhere. . .How can we move forward when the educated ones still hold unto expired age long mythical beliefs that can never help us solve any of our problems?. . .

ichidodo: ....that igbo gurl....

Which igbo girl ? Her real name is Amala . Na Yoruba girl from Ibadan. I know her parents. Congrats Amalashi Iyami

dec2: Bearing in mind that marriage is a "for better for worse.... till death do us part" mutual agreement, would you go ahead with a partner who although loves you but is a perpetual liar?

Takes one to know one I think. Perhaps the situation actually is that he/she is a better liar than you and that sort of pisses you off, right ?

[quote author=sergio-zlatan]for Gods sake, that is somebody's mother and another mans wife you're talking about. picture your mother or wife in such..[/quote]Don't mind them. Some people can fvck their own mother. Maybe they even do already. I am sure OP does.

Please read carefully . They were " attempting to smuggle 2.880 kg of a substance believed to be cocaine". The stuff might even be just cassava flour. If you read further you will see that they " were found to have ingested 175 wraps" which proves that these boys did love akpu a lot.
Having said that they definitely look Yoruba to me; especially that one in the middle.

pazienza: He didn't say what we don't already know,every average nigerian knows all these things he said,don't know what the whole noise is all about.

What the noise is about is that this megalomaniac is just another loafer in government and who is earning money for doing nothing. Obviously he has so little to do and that is why he has so much time to condemn his employer. Let him face his work if he has any to do otherwise he should be honest enough to resign instead of embarrassing everybody with his lun.atic speeches.

Jarus: Sorry, I feel for you.

SLS won't contest presidency. Mark my word.

And you asked where was? Well, he has been an activist since his university days as youngest member of ABU students parliament in 1978. He participated in Ali Must Go riot of 1978. He was part of Radio Kudirat team - the guerilla radio outfit fighting for the enthronment of democracy in the 90's during the Abacha era. And from 1998-2005, he wrote articles lamenting the situation in this country and berating the political class.

So if you're ignorant of history, it is not Sanusi to blame, 'go and meet your wife and you will be happy'.

It is people like you one should fear for because you are as naïve as you are ignorant. History has shown us similar rabid activist who have in the end become turncoats working against the interest of the people who had once held them high as their champions. There are at least three monkeys like that in GEJ's entourage.it behoves that people are not so easily able to recognise so sick a megalomaniac who proposes a new currency just for the thrill of having his signature on the prestigious note. We have also heard that "not interested" speech before and we have come to understand it as the dangerous tool of an evil ra.pist. Very soon he will listen to the "plea of his people to serve the country at a higher level" and so will another emergency presidential candidate be born ! The sick irony of the story would be that it will be donkey heads like you who will be again carrying his placards. And don't tell me what to do with my wife , it is not Sanusi's business either; he should face his job work whatever it is.

Sarcoc: What has a Priest got to do with loading trucks??

Who is he making money for? For the records, I am a Christian and a Chatolic too!

Good chat.

Jarus: It takes a fool to think someone eyeing presidency will call for sack of 50% of public workforce. SLS has no presidential ambition, not even interested in second term as CBN boss.

Of course he says he is not interested in 2nd term because he knows that he is not going to bloody get it.His policies have been near I.di.otic and that is being charitable. Where was the loudmouth before he became CBN governor? Now he suddenly thinks he is the greatest superstar in the world. Didn't he retract his 50% staff cut gaffe ? Mark my words he will be competing for president next election.The tragedy is that the lun.at.ic would actually believe that he could win

docjuli: For real?

Full pronunciation is Oju(bo) Elegba(ra). The shrine of Elegba. Don't worry so much though; to Yoruba. Major 3-road (or 4,5,6 etc) is the place to leave sacrifice for Esu to take away and deliver

There is no single Nigerian accent. We have tribal and even dialectic accents. Ibo is not sexy at all ? It sounds like someone is fighting you. War is not sexy I think.

floriana: Listen to Fela's song about Ojuelegba and then make up your mind thereafter.

I am sure most people don't know that meaning of Ojuelegba is the shrine where Elegba (aka Esu aka the trickster) is worshiped.

Bloody a.s.s becomes ex-CBN governor next year. Headed for politics definitely and probably thinks he can take a shot at President by making sentimental statements which appeal to the hearts of the simpleminded . He is one of Nigeria's biggest problems. An insincere doublefaced t.wa.t.

igboji collins: Stone age indeed.Anyi ana agbago agbago ka anyi ana agbada agbada?

Wetin concern agbada for this one now? Everybody dey talk cellphone this one dey talk about him agbada.SMH for people of that tribe.

LocalChamp: Federal character breeds mediocrity, says Sanusi

Posted by: Nduka Chiejina Posted date: December 06, 2012


The Constitution encourages mediocrity, especially with the federal character principle enshrined in it, Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor Sanusi Lamido Sanusi said yesterday.

Sanusi demanded to know the relationship between the federal character principle and the number of ministers in the cabinet.

He spoke on the last day of the Nigeria Economic Summit (NES) in Abuja.

Sanusi said: “As intelligent and as educated human beings, what is the connection between the number of states and the number of ministries at the federal level. We are talking about federal character, so if you have 50 states today, you must have 50 ministries; if you have a 100 states you must have 100 ministries?”

He criticised the Constitution for saying that there must be a minister from every state. Sanusi said: “If we create a state for the Southeast since they say they want one more state, then you must have one more minister and create a ministry, even if we don’t need it. So, because you have created one more state, the federal government must have a minister from that state”.

He described these as political issues that must be addressed. Sanusi lamented that Nigeria has “a constitution that makes it impossible for us to develop”.

Defending his position, he said: “We are required by law that the President must appoint a minister from every state. So, you have 36 and there is a system now where after the 36, again because of the federal character, you now have one per geopolitical zone. So, you have 42. We cannot develop, if we continue to have so much of our resources where government is spending 70 per cent of the nation’s revenue on itself and leaving 30 per cent to the people. Is that a sensible situation?”

The solution he explained “is to face this reality”. “Now, we are amending the constitution, why do we need 500 legislators?And let’s ask ourselves why is it that no African country has adopted this political structure? Only Nigeria, not even South Africa.”

He described himself as “a strong believer of diversity, but as a country, we have taken this diversity beyond a reasonable limit.

“We have focused so much on diversity and have succeeded in enthroning mediocrity so long as the diversity requirement is met.

Sanusi added: “The greatest challenge facing this country is the challenge of a people that have lost sight of the importance of merit.

“You have 42, you do cabinet reshuffle and bring in another 42 and I’m sure between 1999 and now, we have had more than 200 ministers and how many of them can we really remember?”

Because there are too many ministers in the cabinet, Sanusi said, “their jobs are so poorly defined and you cannot remember what they did because the only way to remember a man is based on what he did”.

Using himself and his state as an example, Sanusi said Kano State “used to be one state”. “But now it is Kano and Jigawa. When it was one state you had one governor and maybe nine or 10 commissioners. I went to King’s College and Ahmadu Bello University on Kano State government scholarship. My parents didn’t pay. I was in King’s College and the state government even paid for my rail ticket from Lagos to Kano and back and I wasn’t the only one.”

However, that one state, Sanusi said, has become “two states , two governors, two deputy governors, 40 commissioners, maybe 80 legislators and only God knows how many special advisers and assistants”.

If not for federal character will the fool have been able to get where he is today ? People just say things without thinking first.

[quote author=O.T.I.S]about a day or two ago you said you are 100% British, how come you are igbo man today? [/quote]Don't mind those people from that area of Nigeria..SMH

No difference. Both can still not pay workers salaries.
