'Most' is ridiculous? Out of the 36 governors we have,how many of them are good public speakers? Of the thousands of PDP members in Nigeria,they could not produce one single candidate that can speak publicly. GEJ,Atiku and Madam Jubril are NOT good public speakers.

I bet they are good speakers in their native language, NO? And what do you care that they are bad public speakers in French or Chinese or English or any of the foreign languages?

Why dont you ask Obama to speak in Yoruba or any other Nigerian language , and lets see how good of a public speaker he is.

English is not our native language for satan's sake, and the insistence of having our politicians speak like  Obama before they can be taken seriously,   smacks , IMO, inferiority complex. We have a language that was foisted on us by our colonial masters for their own selfish reasons, and here, some 60 years later, we still have people, our own people, wanting us to be master  this foreign language despite it not being any better than ours, the height of ignorance. Colonization has done a great deal of damage to our psyche and it seems we are not doing enough as a country to redeem ourselves from the monumental damage the White Man did to our self image.

I pity future generations of Nigerians.

Actually peace corp can go along way in helping solve the situation, if well implemented.


You left Naija before junior WAEC, I think its best you keep your opinion to what you know best. It seems you are more Jenifa than Sikira, and there is nothing bad in that. Just that you'd do yourself a lot of good if you stopped spewing crap on the WWW on something you absolutely have no clue about.

Your parents may have taught in two different schools, that is not the issue here. The problem here is that you have no idea what you are talking about. For someone who left weeks before her JSS final exam to not know about junior WAEC is just ludicrous. Your opinion might be better appreciated in the Romance section, definitely not here.

Eziachi:
Name one or two investors you said that were trooping into Nigeria outside oil/mobile communication area?
And both areas are known as vulture investment, where they don't need to have any sort of structure on the ground to operate, so by any slightest of problem in the land, just like a vulture, they pick their booty, off they go.

Citibank, No?

And, we used to have one Cicero of Esa-Oke, James AjiBola Ige!

Private education industry, from Primary to University level, is thriving in Nigeria.

[quote author=eku_bear link=topic=585805.msg7535191#msg7535191 date=1295047030]I've never claimed this, and in fact think I am more than qualified. FWIW, I've confirmed my understanding with those actually on the ground. In any case, perhaps we should let arguments stand on their own merit. And if they lack merit, then so be it.
Haba! So now your concern is the profit that the numerous corporations interested in buying the pieces of PHCN will make a profit, if/when PHCN is privatized?  

Perhaps we should not worry about their profit, yes?

Or better yet, let us worry about how Glo, MTEL, etc will make profit, despite the high corruption and adverse business environment in Nigeria. I weep for Glo. . .[/quote]Brilliant!

After all, they succeeded where NITEL had already failed, not once, but many times!

Even though, you are not as well informed as oga Katsumoto, I think you've made your case better than him.

matemate:
Nuhu can not win. The only way nuhu ribadu can get close to win Jonathan is to pick Becomrich as vice president, which most yoruba consider as a militia Yoruba for him to win. That way most yoruba may find confident in him, and they may want to vote for him because of becomrichcan get the vote in Yorubaland for him, but apart from that Nuhu ribadu cant win.
My advice to him is to pick becomrich as vice president, if he want to win.

You are campaigning for yourself, init?

I think Madam Kobojunkie would be the ideal person to serve as Ribadu's running mate


BRB with my reasons



Anyway, if you could, who would you nominate to be Ribadu's running mate?

[quote author=eku_bear link=topic=585805.msg7534845#msg7534845 date=1295043168]Alright, so I guess we've come to a consensus.

If you believe that these external rankings of Nigeria's corruption are wrong (e.g., Nigeria should be 170 rather than 134 or even last, let's say), I can understand your perspective.

However, hopefully it is clear that if indeed these rankings are roughly accurate, Nigeria's biggest problem is not in fact corruption.

I don't have time to look more closely at their methodology, but perhaps I (or someone else here) can look deeply into it and find out how exactly their methodology underestimates the corruption levels in Nigeria relative to the countries ranked after it! (this is a key point that some here seem to be missing. . .)[/quote]In my opinion, Nigeria should be unrankable, not 170


I can go on and on on corruption in the educational sector. That is another thing entirely

Dapo, you need to come down to Nigeria to help make Nigeria a better place.

dayokanu:
Eku bear,

If any place is more corrupt than Nigeria Maybe its Alcatraz .

How can you give someone $400m contract to construct a road and no tree was even cleared not to talk of asphalt laid.

If you remember the $16b power probe that OBJ stole everything.

After 2yr when OBJ left, the site of the IPP have not even been cleared and $16BILLION not MILLION, BILLION Dollars have gone down the drain where else does that happen in the world.

Who here remembers when a Nigerian Ship went missing on the sea and No one heard anything. The ship did not sink just disappeared like those Harry potter movies

I have a feeling you are part of the corrupt elite

How come you know all these things

ola olabiy:
According to Ribadu, more than half of federal allocations get carted away by governors regularly.
They wait for a couple of weeks after each allocatio. Them GBAM, UK banks.

They are here chatting rubbish.

[b]A Nigerian judge has 3 children on master's degrees and none works. All the money coming from Nigeria. A state judge [/b]oo.

Bad belle!

t[b]ell them how pictures get changed at WAEC offices brazenly.[/b]

Looto?

I know about re-shading scantrons, buh me never hear of people changeing pictures at WAEC

EH, so many things I no sabi for this our country

dayokanu:
Dapo bear and tensor,

Can you answer this honestly,

Have you lived a full year of your adult life in any part of Nigeria?

Imagine You have to bribe NEPA to give you transformer.

4hours to an important soccer game, NEPA would take all lights and any area that doesnt come to "settle" would have to miss the match

Is that how it is done?

Never knew you needed to settle those mofos

mehn, elemi loma last!

Sagamite:
Exactly.

That is why tackling corruption will help us in joining the developed nations.

Ode!


What a dunce!

Didirin alinironu ara galatia


Afokumeko  odoyo  Olobushon!

debosky:
5% to secure contracts?

Even a primary school student will collect more than 5% cut to do something for you in Nigeria.

So what is wrong in that?

Even in developed countries, they have all sorts of fees!

debosky:
^^ How did you arrive at this conclusion?

By external perception or facts on the ground? External perception of corruption and the actual levels of corruption experienced are completely different things.

It is well known that China is the most corrupt country in world, yet they are more developed than us.


And, if you think the US is not as corrupt as Nigeria, well, i have a plot of land to sell to you in Asorock.

dayokanu:
We took those loans for some reasons right? Most likely infrastructural development. Where are the infrastructres we used the loans to develop?

Do you know about the Awolowo vs Akintola war that led to the breakdown of the first republic?

Draw parallels with the Tinubu vs Fashola scenario if you can

Common. If my memory serves me well, the difference in what transpired between Awo and Akintola Vs. Tinubu and Fashola is as clear as light and day.

Awo and Akintola: They both did not agree on how how to move Yorubaland forward. Awo believed in the social engineering  policies of the AG while Akintola  "was widely believed to have urged the Action Group (AG) leadership in the 1960s to seek to join the federal coalition of which the Northern Peoples Congress (NPC) was the senior partner. Chief Awolowo realised this danger and was determined not to allow the Yoruba and other progressive minded Nigerians be part of the scheme " In a way OBJ is the modern day Akintola, if I am allowed to make such comparison. I do know that Akintola was a smooth talker, a brilliant lawyer and a man of original ideas, unlike our dull and thuggish OBJ.

Tinubu and Fashola: This all about Tinubu's selfish interest and Fashola's attempt at stopping Tinubu from emptying Lagos state treasury.


Please correct me If i am wrong!

dayokanu:
^^ Sorry but I think corruption is the major thing.

You cant have corruption entrenched the way it is in Nigeria and have any meaningful development.

All the foreign aid and IMF loans we have had since the last 40yrs where have they gone to?

I agree corruption is a big problem, but using IMF loans to point to the problem is just ridiculous. The problem with non-implementation of IMF loans is not strictly a Nigerian problem and the problem can ONLY be addressed by IMF. Blaming the Nigerian government for non performance of IMF loans is unfortunate.

[quote author=eku_bear link=topic=585805.msg7533812#msg7533812 date=1295031895]Agreed, let us never compare Tinubu to Awolowo again. That is an insult to Awolowo. Awolowo was a servant of the Yoruba people. Not a servant of his own political and economic interests. Awolowo wasn't installing his kin and homeboys into every political office, even kicking out incumbents.[/quote]You are right!

If you Examine the principles behind what Tinubu is doing. Examine the morality. Take an example of the internal wrangling he had with Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State, is that consistent with true party politics? if somebody is doing something for self, then there is danger ahead. Fair enough, he survived and we know how he survived and it was in ACN's favour that he survived. Whatever method he used, we supported then , but that does not mean that we would not recognise the faults in his way of doing politics.The problem with Tinubu and others is that they have a private agenda of their own that is not consistent with our Awo's philosophy.

dayokanu:
I thought you declared yourself an Awoist? How is Awolowos acts different from Tinubus current acts?

That is unfair

You know the truth and you know that what Tinubu is doing would never have been approved by Awo.


Please! Please, respect the Sage!

Sagamite:
As usual, nothing of substance to add on any topic except the odd 1 to max 5 lines of opinionless emptyness.

On this one, I agree with you, unfortunately!

Kobojunkie:
I think the main is the Ekiti situation, not what happened as a result. She did implicate Tinubu/ACN in all the rigging and bribing going on - some other parties also did. It was in the Papers. This was before Ayoka announced she was resigning.

Stop peddling lies

She did not implicate Tinubu.

Becomrichn:
I weep for the next generation of Yoruba children , ACN has stole them into slavery.  Do this people know they Yorubas have to wait till 2048.

I agree with you Becomrich

Pay no mind to never do wells like Sodomite.

Tensor: I think you are losing it!



She is an older lady you know. Be careful how you talk to her!

Akhenaten:
Ribadu is definitely not strong enough to tackle PDP.

I bet he is strong enough to tackle you in the bedroom!No?

Mrs. Kobojunkie


PLEASE STOP POSTING GARBAGE

TAKE A BREAK FROM NL, YOU NEED IT.

LISTEN TO MY ADVICE, YOU WILL THANK ME LATER.

Nothing good comes from morons!

WTF?

dayokanu:
Fstranger, Seems you have snatched Isalegangan from me.

She seems like a nice person. i didnt know she was on your rader. Anyway, I think she is now mine, YAY!

I can tell from her posts that she is a nice, caring, gorgeous lady, only fit for handsome, intelligent and extremely virile men like me ( no offeinse).

OK you carry go, Nothing do you.

Thank you very much. I will try not to trespass again.

You can have others!

Akoraye a gbe wa o  

You ve been doing well, until you mentioned that. I wanna assume that was a slip of tongue and I hope it doesnt happen again.
I am sure you dont want me to pull a mutallab on you, do you?

Sagamite:
No, I have not got laid by a man, and never will. I will like such activities to you, sicko.

Ode!

Ignorance is[b] not[/b] bliss

Reetard that thinks it is not wrong for Military dictators to murder citizens without trial, what will you know about Professors? Moooron!

High intellect, small mind, very bad combination.

I see you self destructing in, say, less than 2 years.

People like you dont last long!

Sagamite:
You are reetarded.

If I had a dime for everytime you use the word "reetarded", I would by now be rich enough to buy you an American professor of English to help increase your vocabulary.

Your intellect is below my feet.

Obviously. With your 'high' intellect, you still cant get laid. Shouldnt you be ashamed of yourself and your good for nothing intellect.

I only turn to bash moorons like you. And don't go about trying to jump into men's bed, sicko.

Dont know what to make of your rant!

Edit and apologize? What for

I mean what I say, i say what I mean. i dont mince words.

Kaa soro, Kaa b'abe ni iyi omoluabi.

I am firm in my undertakings, I dont edit and so far I am not convinced that an apology is warranted.

Anyway, have a wonderful and enjoyable Ju'muah
