you are the only one that sees and understand clearly.I wish you are my proffessor or our leader,i love all your post.

the problem will not likely be solved with division if we have selfish leaders. Look at some states with relatively fantastic allocations but terrible mismanagement, look at others will less and seroius development going on. While separation may sound appealing, its not the magic wand to solve our problems. Its an attractive option I am gravitating towards but I know unless fundamental changes are effected our resultant countries or regions can be as small as Liberia and yet be killing ourselves or be as big and complex as South africa and yet be stable and prosperous. THERE IS NO MAGIC BULLET

tbaba1234:
VOTE OUT PDP

Rousseau:
To those calling for a military takeover of Nigeria, I pity you. Let the democratic process continue its course. The age of military dictatorships in Africa is over. Let the people decide who their leaders should be. It is our right to decide though the ballot box. If Goodluck Jonathan is not the best man to lead this nation, then let the people choose who should lead us. The military should stay in the barracks. Some of you are quick to say the military can save us, but that is not true. Nigeria can go in two directions. Either grow in democracy, or break apart into separate nations. A military coup will not stop either of these two processes. This is the choice for Nigeria.

if for every bomb or ethnic clash the military were to take over, GOD HELP INDIA! (and they are progressing)

Atiku Abuakar in a statement denounced the bombings in strong terms describing it as ”senseless and wicked.”
In the statement  Mr Abubakar said he sympathises with innocent military and civilian victims caught in the bombing incident.
The former VP went on to say that the latest bomb targeted at a military establishment is an indication that ”President Jonathan cannot provide the type of leadership to secure the nation.’
The president, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, has also condemned the attack, and commands the nation’s security services to rise to the occasion and arrest this new and dangerous challenge to our peace and stability.
He said in a statement that there shall be no sacred cows. All, no matter how remotely connected to these incidents, must be brought to justice.
”They must be made to pay.   No one, and we repeat, no one, can make this nation ungovernable.’ he said in a statement signed by Ima Niboro.

Take it easy, lay down before you hurt yourself!

[quote author=ndu_chucks link=topic=577473.msg7441771#msg7441771 date=1293829745]What da heck is going on?? NTA-24 is now saying that the bomb blast at Jikwoyi was just a rumour!!!


I'm switching off the TV, ASAP.


@binhozie, your friend may be alive, if NTA-24 account is true. take heart, buddy.[/quote]heard it was a rumor too.

Just got another uncomfirmed report about another one in Dunamis (Area One), again unconfirmed and yet to be reported.

This is madness!

confirmed! An explosion did rock Mogadishu Barracks (formerly abacha Barracks) just got a phone call that confirmed this. BBC has picked it

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-12099176

Got another information of another blast in Jikoyi area of Abuja (Jikoyi is a satellite town). this blast has not yet be corroborated or confirmed.

role model: all nigerians who took any lawfull means to, in their own little way, effect a change in how this country is run.

The villans; all those who did nothing

where is Adamu Ciroma? See what is happening to his beloved north and he suddenly lost his voice.

Ok, i get it. This one affects the common man on the street and not the power brokers

Police shoot someone for laughing?

I dey laugh oh!

I dont think that Ribadu should worry about him being dumped. A true democrat is not discouraged by failure. He should work hard for the success of his party and probably work as a minister or something where he will be given the opportunity to
(i) shine and be more visible to Nigerians
(ii) horn his skills as an administrator
(iii) build a support base from the ground up.

Ribadu as is, is a diamond in the rough. He still lacks the carriage and finesse to be an effective leader. Given time he could horn his skills and reach out. the key here is getting himself in a position to offer more, give Nigerians a reason to want him more.

ayiddalal:
We muslims should not sit quiet over dis wen some bunch of bloody suckers are using our religion for their devilish aim. Insha Allah you will not prevail and Allah will not let you see the end.You go about killing innocent people and call it jihad.what defines your target a defenceless person or xtians that you are at peace with. In your opinion, muslims support you ?? i say i will rather remain in peace with my xtian neigbour if there is not treat from him/her and report you to the authorities where i see or hear you.crap! it will not work i repeat.Nigeria is strong and will crush you.nonsense!!! This what the prophet said about people like you. Also prophet Muhammad (peace upon said) the following meaning: "Seven persons are such that Allah (God) will not look at them on the Day of Judgment , and Allah (God) will enter them into the Hell, except for those who repent. As those who repent Allah will accept their repentance. 1. A person who self services. 2. A person who performs the act of sodomy. 3. The person upon whom the act of sodomy is performed. 4. A perpetual drunkard. 5. The person who hits his parents so much that they appeal for help. 6. The person who harms his neighbors so much so that they curse him. 7. The person who commits adultery with his neighbor's wife. " "Worship Allah and join none with him (in worship); and do good to parents, kinsfolk, orphans, the poor, the neighbor who is near of kin, the neighbor who is stranger, the companion by your side, , " with your silly group's action where do you place yourselves!!!!! taking care of your neigbour? This is what the quran says about some xtians and by your action i didn't see you distinguishing!!!!! "Of the people of the Book are a portion that stand (for the right); they rehearse the Sings of Allah all night long, and they prostrate themselves in adoration. They believe in Allah and the Last Day; They enjoin what is right, and forbid what is wrong; and they hasten (in emulation) in (all) good works: They are in ranks of the righteous. Of the good that they do, nothing will be rejected of them; for Allah knows well those that do right." Nobel Qur'an (3:113-115)
What ever your reason for this you are no different with a demon,
You should be hunted down like your silly leader and perverted not-so-smart person yusuf and brought to our kinda justice!!!! we have survived maitasine and so many others!!! How will non-muslim appreciate your religion with this?? I am calling for the military intervention in JOS, BORNO, YOBE, BAUCHI, This are failed States.

WILL THE REAL MUSLIMS STAND UP TO BE COUNTED! UNLESS YOU COUNTER THE BAD EGGS AMOUNG YOU PEOPLE WILL CONTINUE TO SEE THE BAD IN YOUR RELIGION.

Chei!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is heart wrenching!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG

Violence flares again today

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-12080929

Nigeria: Jos sees renewed clashes after bombings
Further violence between armed groups has broken out in the city of Jos in central Nigeria following bombings that killed 32 people.
Witnesses said buildings were set alight and people were seen running for cover as police and soldiers arrived.
Previous violence between Christian and Muslim ethnic groups in the region has killed hundreds.
The latest unrest was triggered by explosions on Christmas Eve in villages near Jos.
Nigerian Vice President Namadi Sambo is reported to be on his way to the area.
Details of the latest violence were unclear,but one witness quoted by Reuters news agency reported dozens of buildings on fire and bloodied people being carried to hospital.
Police commissioner Abdulrahman Akano told AFP news agency that one person had been killed.
"There were some skirmishes between the two groups and it is under control now," he said.
Mr Sambo's spokesman said that the vice-president was travelling to Jos on Sunday "to make an effort to quell this crisis".
Many injured
Friday's bomb attacks near Jos also left more than 70 people injured.
Reports said two bombs exploded near a large market. A third hit a mainly Christian area while the fourth was near a road leading to a mosque. No group has claimed responsibility.
Nigeria's President Goodluck Jonathan has pledged to bring those responsible to justice.
Jos has been blighted by religious violence over the past decade with deadly riots in 2001 and 2008.
The city is in Nigeria's volatile Middle Belt - between the mainly Muslim north and largely Christian south.
The tensions stem from decades of resentment between indigenous groups and settlers from the north.
Correspondents say that although clashes are often blamed on sectarianism, poverty and access to land and other resources are often the root causes.

glo with pride!

anybody in jos right now? Pls confirm reports of fighting around abbatoir area. Hope it aint true cos its back to square one for the residents again!

[quote author=aletheia link=topic=574326.msg7404891#msg7404891 date=1293237079][/quote]While prayers are good, it will not solve the problem as those responsible will strike again. What we need is effective policing and investigation to bring those responsible to justice. We can not just pray this problem away. The nation must rise and SAY NO, demand and receive justice. Extremist can only be defeated through an effective policing and justice system else we all risk being slaughtered like chickens (I am sure even muslims are victims in this bombings so all Nigerians are involved in this)

I shudder to imagine what would happen  if this bomb were in a mosque.

I wonder what sort of people will place a BOMB in a place of worship? Nobody considers places of worship sacred any more?  

@ Equity,

I think the stability or otherwise of Glo is dependent on where you are. So saying that the poster is wrong is not the correct position to take. I live in Abuja and the instability of 3g signal is so bad that I dumped glo for a super stable (and expensive) MTN.

@ poster

follow lynxnoon's advice, select edge on your modem, that should work. Check back on 3g signal periodically to check stability, and when it happens you can make the switch. I ditched Glo cos after tasting 3G I couldnt live with EDGE. so till they clean up their act I will stick to MTN for now

cut the lady some slack! english is not her language. Ask her to read a speech in her native tongue and you'll hear the 'queens' version. Even George Bush goofs sometimes. (will post link later)

osisikankwu.

Hope i got the spelling right. Y'all get it.

CBN mints money. Its called currency management and its not cheap. It cost almost the same value to print lower dennimation notes like 10 and 20 naira, it cost a lot to print coins (thats why they are using polymer in 10, 20, and 50 bucks to increase longevity and reduce cost), they charter planes to fly currency around the country, provide armed escorts, buy and maintain bullet proof vans, hire consultants to conduct nation wide studies, hire auditors for bank examinations nation wide, cater to more than 24 branch offices with thousands of personel, building several currency centers in some state capitals, The list goes on. How can that compare with the national assembly? Remember CBN generates most if not all of its income. What of the national assembly? Mark cannot and should not give excuses. By way of note, most people are mixing up the headline with what mark said. No where in the article was mark quoted to have said cbn steals more than we do. It must be the journalist's idea to conjure up this headling. Just thought i should highlight that

contractually speaking, the DCC machines are yet to be delivered to INEC so they are the property of the contractor and if has to replace them or ask his insurance company to do the same. However, the statements of inec is so confusing. I wish they just keep quiet and refer inquiries to the police. And the headlines are even more confusing. The journalist is making it sound as though there are other DDC machines other than inec's out there.

wtf!

something is definitely amiss. Maybe technical, maybe financial. The effect of the cable is just not here. I am in abuja and only mtn has improved tremendously since main one got lit. With glo's 'extensive' (na dem talk am oh!) fiber network, once glo 1 is lit, the effect should be felt where their cables are. I wish glo will just come straight wit us. I bet they are yet to launch in ghana after all the noise. It may be finance thats their problem. Strangly, the last time i checked their site alcatel lucent did not list glo1 among their cable project as glo claims. May be its a non performing contract aka client not paying contract!

ouch! Caught in the act!

summation of the situation

Muslim north = northerner

Christian North = middlebelter
