PoliticsRe: President Can Rule Nigeria From Saudi Arabia —aondoakaa by Gekko(m): 2:37pm On Dec 16, 2009
Aondoakaa also said that the probe into the $180m Halliburton scandal was stalled because witnesses gave evidence in French and it had been difficult translating the information to English in Nigeria.

Unfuknbelievable!!!  shocked shocked  this man is embarrassing Nigerians.  We are so much better than this.

I actually support your theory. Banire is a adept Commissioner/Technocrat and we already know what Fashola is capable of.

i am sick and tired all this side-talk. . if fashola agreed to limit himself to one term in 2006 why is he now so unwilling to step aside?has he now become power hungry or he sees himself as the only messiah that can take lagos to where lagos is destined to be. . .all he has been executing is the manifesto of action congress which he has executed judiciously.

anyone else with brains can execute that manifesto and even add to it

fashola for second term or banire for first term is fine by me. . .the main thing is PDP not getting anywhere near alausa. . .were tired of maladministration and failure of governance. . .Fashola should go to abuja and repair nigeria. . .banire stay in lagos and turn it to london

thats what irritates me about the man. he's  just too self absorbed. all he seems to do is post billboards of himself and his pseudo-achievements all over the state. all he can boast of is the new state secretariat he constructed which is absolutely unnecessary IMO. cant say much about other governors since i've not been to their states but i know without a doubt that PDP governors are all wack and should share the prize for the WORST governors of the year.

I am happy with this win, it was much needed but we need to strengthen our squad.  Its good to have diaby back,
I am doubtful about Almunia's place on the team.  He lacks the qualities we need in a goalkeeper,
we need someone combative however he appears nervous in front of goal.  Personally, i think Denilson is
an average player and we need someone with a cutting edge to fill his role.

Kudos to the team!

It is only in Lagos a fight could have started on a bike between two passengers: a guy & a lady. The lady on the bike sat in the middle between the okada rider & the other guy sat behind her.

She suddenly discovered something creeping behind her buttocks. She first felt it was the poly bag the guy behind was carrying. She later discovered that the thing was too hard to be a bag. She suddenly grabbed the object hitting at her from behind and instructed the okada rider to park the okada.

believe it, the guy's john thomas was already hard like a rock. The lady didnt drop it o. She gave the guy a very dirty slap & the okada rider later feft with her leaving the "hard-on" guy stranded.

Here's to qualification for the next round & hopefully, we meet lipsrsealed grin

Negatives
Carlos Vela : This dude has what it takes to become a legend @ arsenal but last night juz wasn't one of those nights for him. I mean two clear cut chances & he couldn't EVEN bury one? I say sit him on the bench for the next 5 games and play Sanchez Watt!. . .This dude has been in lethal form for mexico, one wonders if the same form can find him in the red & white jersey!

Theo Walcott : Son, if u keep playing like this, honestly you'll NOT make the world cup team,oh & since when did Walcott start taking FK's? grin Forgive my lashing out on him but he was totally clueless AGAIN yesterday! Dude was all over the place like a chicken whose head was cut-off! angry grin. It'll take a couple of games for him to find his foot. I say, let's gamble and play him as a point man, instead of AM L! Same PM role saw him bag three for the 3 lions!

Fran Merida : This kid should be sent out on loan to get some regular football, the kid is good but his first touches let him down last night

We lacked quality & sheer strength up-front in a game we controlled for 90mins, in which the build-ups were good, link-up plays were also good& we paid for it!

Positives
Aaron Ramsey : Started slowly but gradually picked up, i'm sure AW's made him watch some tapes of FAB4. . .His positioning, ball control, passing etc were crisp cool , he certainly has matured. . .I say play him alongside FAB, juz in front of Denilson and Song.

Song : I don't know what if this guy's on an Ecstacy pill when he plays but i just love watching him play! He was soild in the MF and provided good cover for the back 4 and AM's. . .made very well-timed tackles & overall had a good game! He shoulda been subbed and rested for the game against liverpool! tongue

Jack Wilshere : Wenger was asked if Jack would go out on-loan and he replied " Jack's case (loan) is a very sensitive one I don't want to talk about". If he's going to play ANY part in the world cup come 2010, i'd say. . loan him out a Coca-Cola side till end of the season. .let him get some playing time & 1st team experience

Fabianski is REALLY staking a claim for the goalie position&it's ONLY a matter of time before Almunia stutters & loses his place. . .He was excellent last night, organised his wall very well, his decision making & aerial ability were on point! Made 2-3 good saves to keep Arsenal in the game!

Anyways we've qualified & there's the game @ Anfield this weekend. . cool

One game at a time!

Gunnerz 4 life
I also enjoy watching Song play mehn!, this dude's progress is exceptional. He is so smooth and agile on that ball for a defensive mid.

I will say thank you fashola for this (this is my 1st time of saying thank you tho)

Im saying thank you because it just look like you [b]lived your entire life in western world [/b]and u see how everything is been run and u came to Naija and do the same.

So I will say thank you one more time. You are doing a good job.

Ehm lest I forget, the benefit system pls try to set it up (I will urge NL to put it in prayer so that Naijas willl not abuse and destroy it)

Thank you.
I don't think the good governor "spent his entire life in western world", in fact he schooled from primary to Law school in Nigeria and also started his professional career in Nigeria.
Which is evidence that there are plenty of capable hands within the country if given the opportunity to lead.
