lol lol sorry o!! I didn't mean to sound like a stalker. Please forgive me. Gee, I feel so silly now  . Its just that I don't come across too many Nigerian students here in New York [unless they are the children of my parent's friends]. Majority of the African people [both friends and non-friends] I know in New York are non-Nigerians.

Ok, I'll send you an e-mail tonight

And yes, I am from 042. That's my hometown [woop woop]

Inky Inky inkyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

At least we know we can survive without Ndigbo

That is the truth.

Take away the Yoruba people, the most peaceful people in the world, and Nigeria becomes a failed state

Alj Uche is Ibo, so Alj Uche can post whatever he wants

@Topic: Anioma is on a long thing, I tell ya

The OP is fake

Why would a guy pick a call while on top of a woman. He must be having a really bad s3x. OP, take heart. marriage is not meant for anyone anyways. You can always be a nun,like Tpiah.

I cant die for anyone other than my mother and siblings.



I dont mind doing one last phock before she crosses over though.

Why are they flooding Osun?. Don't they have their home states?

Most of the Nigerians in IVC are from Ejigbo. Thats why they are flooding Osun-State, their hometown

Why did you not attend the BON interview Aare Musiwa?

seanet02:
@ezeuche, who tell you south west is supporting that satanic buhari? We will never forget how he hounded our leaders in jail while keeping northern leaders in hotels under the guise of house arrest. We all know how he seized the Passport of AWOLOWO for over two years and prevented him from seeking medical attention, we know how Bola Ige, Ajasin, Ebenezer BabaTope and Jakande were jailed on trumped up charges that were never real, we know how he placed soldiers to restrict the movement of AWOLOWO in OGUN state. Mark my word buhari will not win a single councillor election in south west not to even talk of a house of assembly. Ribadu all the way in south west.

Very well said!

Aisha says hi!

I guess denying a man the right to freedom even after the court freed him is human rights

Teslim Folarin is still walking free o! and we still don't know who killed Bola Ige, Dipo Dina and co.

So, denying the opposition equal access to publicly funded TV and radio is human rights.

Projects? like Nairaland? Buhari wan cancel GSM ni? abi PDP don pass PIB? FOI bill?

Will Buhari scrap the building projects going on at Lekki? or will he cancel Oil contracts? What projects?

The devil we know needs to be chased away. Cast out PDP!

I really dont see how PDP is the problem here.

PDP is not an ideological party, neither is CPC nor ACN. It is party formed on the basis of who gets along with whom. Knowing that, explaining how GEJ is no different from Buhari becomes very easy.

And like Olori oko said, for the sake of continuity, it would be fool-hardy really to change baton at this point.

And, BTW, you never chase away the devil you know. As a matter of fact, you embrace it and learn to work with it. The devil is here to stay, and I would rather prefer a situation where we know the devil to a situation where the devil lives with us in a different form, disguised as the saint

Aare Musiwa, thank you for 'talking't the truth oo jare.


Where is your aburo, Kilode?

Really nice blog.

I confess. I am one of those Nigerians who have been intrigued by Dame Patience Jonathan's recent gaffes. I have even gone as far as memorising the hilarious sound bite where she urges voters to press their ‘hand' on the ‘umblera', come ‘April elections'.

It's not so much her astonishingly poor grasp of the English language that I find amusing - although this is frightening, [size=18pt]given that she once taught in a primary school - but the musicality of her voice, the way she cleverly employs repetition and refrain in her speech.[/size] One is reminded of nursery rhymes and I suppose in her ideal world, some gormless individuals may, after internalising the content of her speeches, press their thumbs on the PDP umbrella, in spite of themselves.

I admire this lady's confidence. This is woman who is determined to articulate and promote her faith in her husband's presidency. This is a woman who is using her clout to canvass for her husband's aspirations. Day after day, rally after rally, she is out there saying anything and everything to show that she is a present and indispensible useful force on the campaign trail. I have not been a fan of the Dame; she cuts the profile of an embarrassing aunt who refuses to leave your twenty-first birthday party and insists on joining in when your mates start playing naughty party games. I have had the opportunity of listening to her ramblings live and although she didn't have a chance of making it onto my list of top twenty speakers, it was impossible to deny her passion.

Using her voice

In the last week, all over the world, we have been celebrating the international woman. It's been a Femfest the world over. We lovers of womanhood have had a chance to remind the world that the voices of women ought to be heard. We want a good seat at the proverbial table, a seat with an enviable view. We want due credit for the overwhelming sacrifices we make in our families and our communities. We want to be walk next to our partners, not crushed beneath their feet. We want to celebrate our small and significant strides.

In the light of all this, yesterday night, as I was reciting the ‘umblera' speech to a bunch of friends who hadn't had the pleasure of receiving it as a Blackberry voicenote, something occurred to me. In spite of the dislocated grammar and her murderous handling on English vocabulary, Patience Jonathan is doing a great thing for womanhood. She may well go down in history as the most vocal First Lady, Nigeria has ever had. I hear people wondering if this is a good thing.

Actually, it is. In fact, it's a great thing. I was one of those who followed the Obama campaign very closely. There were times when Obama would campaign in one state and his wife would do the same in a different US state, speaking to a different cohort, using her personal charm in delivering her husband's message.

In Nigeria, we have been cursed with two types of first ladies: the overbearing money-grabbing ones and the colourless, invisible ones. I have never seen Ribadu's wife. And where on earth is Buhari's wife? They are rarely seen in public, let alone heard. I find it difficult to trust a man who keeps his wife under wraps. If she's good enough to bear your children, she deserves a place next to you on every podium. I like to see the complete package and at least with the Jonathans, I know what I am getting.

Believe me, a lot can be understood about a man from the way he looks at his wife, how much he leans towards her when she talks to him, how comfortable he is about her engaging with the public. On this score, I give President Jonathan pretty high marks. He has no qualms with letting his wife do her thing. He even came out to defend her recently, berating those who ‘insult his wife'. So cute! She's no pushover

Dame Patience may be rough around the edges but she is a no push over. She is a strong, thick-skinned woman with a voice, albeit a coarse one. There is something charming about the fact that the criticism and cheap shots we take at her expense have left her undeterred. I would only advise that perhaps she communicate in her comfort zone - Pidgin English or even her mother tongue. There is nothing embarrassing about using an interpreter and promoting our indigenous languages. I would also suggest that, in the meantime, she supports her husband's Bring Back the Book initiative by reading a novel or two. Nothing improves your proficiency in an any language than reading the good literature available.

For Nigerian voters who lived through the 80s and experienced the full measure of despotic leadership, these are interesting times. I am still not certain who will get my vote in April but I can't help but think even Dame Patience would have turned out better if past rulers like Mohammad Buhari had prioritised education, equipped schools with books and thought a little deeper about future generations of Nigerians.

Keep fooling yourself.


The election is already decided. Sai GEJ on April 9!

Apparently, your Ph.D., program did not teach you that our constitution does allow independent aspirants, provided you have the means.



Hmmm, makes me wonder!

Odunnu when am I getting my share?

Inked_Nerd:

These ones:

Lmao, how can I call you if we've never exchanged numbers?

I thought we did. I may be wrong though. It was prolly not you, maybe someone else. You know, there are a lot of people in dire need of my awesomeness. Too bad, you taking it for granted.

Ms. Chima mentioned to me that she has a co-worker who's brother was going to be in New York but as of yet, nothing has happened. Even if I wanted to meet up with the dude, why is that such a bad thing? Its not like I'm looking for a serious relationship.

Nothing bad. One, two, or three night stands with an Italian can only be good. Nothing wrong at all my dear.

What was that stuff you mentioned about financial aide?

Hmmm, there is always someone like that at schools people like you attend.

Mamagee, I like your b-0-0b-i-es, can I have a quick suck?

Inked_Nerd:


You still haven't answered my questions

Which one?

Prolly still looking for a job. And, NEPA/PHCN isnt helping matters right now


So how was school today?


Did you get to meet the Italian dude today?

This is no Ralph Nader I tell ya.

He never held a public Job/work in the Public arena, never fought for the ordinary masses like Nader did fighting GM over car safety, and not as idealistic like Nader for sure.
