I think it's time people stopped going to church and truly serve god in the corner of their bedrooms.This altercation between CAN and the catholic church is just embarrassing.

Far from what you think. CAN is not a church.From origin CAN was set up as a christian
pressure group sort of. It is a political body whether you like it or not. All fomer CAN
presidents have played politics with heads of government one way or the other.

Onaiyekan has been CAN president before. He cannot remain CAN president for life.
I heard this thing is rotational among Catholic, Methodist, Anglican and penticostal.
Oritsejafor is doing the turn of Penticostal and in no time the mantle will shift.

If Catholic eventually pull out, by the time it gets to their turn, other groups might want
to pull out too. They should settle amicably. It's give and take.

berem: Eko oni baje o!

Keep deceiving yourself with that 419 slogan.

Frank-C:
The problem of folks like you is that you hate GEJ more than you love Nigeria. You are too afraid of his succeeding and hence, so willing to dissociate his efforts from any ray of hope in the horizon. You people sell hopelessness and hatred and bigotry and this has practically nothing to do with getting Nigerians a better society but expanding the empire of your sponsors. Who will not see this information and urge the government to work harder to make it before 2030 but you are more preoccupied with making sure GEJ doesn't take any credit.

Spot on, my brother.
You'll notice that folks like Gbawe, Demdem, Koruji and co will avoid this thread.

ortopazz: nice reply, people fail to grab something, itz nt really the money, when u listen to that song, Mayd's part is the best, nt that it mataz, he shud av been allowed to perform, whats their own sef... Itz nt that it changes anything, it just makes them look like st.upid, spoilt kids.

May D's part is the best how? The yoruba flavour? I'm not really a fan of yoruba music and don't like that part.

The poster boy Fashola is a big media fraud.

Tinubu should be ashamed of himself cos he was worst than GEJ by miles.

Double your effort Oga Presido. Naija is not there yet.
Merry Xmas too.

Fashola's second term is full of so many gaffes. So sad.

Well, power has improved tremendiously in my area of Lagos.

Either Okonjo Iweala or Adesina. Despite the flood, famine nor food prices did not increase.

What is Tinubu's name doing there?

But Lagos remains one of three worst places to live in on earth

Calabar

Thumbs up Stella for bringing up this issue.

Can you imagine, even Buhari is now trying to play politics with
with this man's death.

koruji: I would not waste my time approaching GEJ if I were Afenirere, but our elders are less prone to telling the center to go to h$&^@#l.
Obviously, they believe this was not deliberate or that GEJ can be made to come to his senses.

Come to think of it, when Yorubas were included in the center what good did it do us.
They allowed some funds to flow to the region from the center but imposed thieves and scoundrels as our local administrators.
They stole those funds and made nonsense of our collective local efforts.
That is not a good bargain in my opinion.

[size=14pt]Yorubaland should take the opportunity to increasingly distance itself from the center.[/size]
Put in place parallel systems for replacing what should be the FG's responsibility.
Region-wide security network for enhanced peace and security.
Activate latent economic engines to generate prosperity for our citizens.
Enhance education, health and infrastructure delivery region-wide.
If need be come up with ways to by-pass the center in international relations.

Tinubu keeps brainwashing you guys with propaganda about illusions just because he doesn't
want any superior but to remain the Alpha & Omega of Yoruba land.
South West was offered Speaker of House of Reps, his party teamed up with the North to
disgrace that fine woman.

You are here insinuating about the South West being politically mature.
Do you think South West is more politically mature than the north?

The north keeps Vice President, Senate President, Speaker House of Reps, Chief Justice of the Federation and you
are here talking as if you know it all.
Wait and we shall see where the ACN and CPC romance will land South West.

Funny how f.o.o.l.s here expect to eat their cake and have it.

PDP is more trustworthy by miles. They are more democratic than Asiwaju Criminals of Nigeria (ACN)

Lagos (especially Mainland) is still one huge slump despite the huge revenue accruing to Fashola.
He is not the worst gov, but he hasn't done enough contrary to the media hype.

How can we compensate you for all these good works?

Welldone.

Lest I forget, where are the Powerplants Tinubu and
Peter Odili of then Rivers State claimed to be building in their states?

Nigerians forget so easily. As governors of their respective states Tinubu
and Odili swindled billions claiming to be building Powerplants. They were
all over in the media bragging about powerplants and megawatts.

Why can't the press ask them first how many megawatts those onse are generating?
Thieves in government.

Where is the Lekki International Airport Fashola
promised us will be ready this December 2012.

Bunch of bloody liars

Why should criminality be associated with my almamata? Pls leave my beloved St Gregory out of this.

Baby mama: [size=18pt]The pictures in Anambra are from rural towns and Calabar is a state capital
Can't you people read?[/size]

Yea . . . I think some peeps here are just trying to make jest of Afam, considering he is from South East.

Anyway, I think Calabar is blessed naturally. The city does not have this kind of red, dusty soil we saw in Anambra.
Besides. it has a large body of water (sea) stretching almost the right length of the city providing this welcoming temperature to visitors.
The Calabar drainage system too, though not underground like Abuja and Uyo, is very effective. It rains silly,but dries up almost immediately.
So apart from the clean and green, nature favoured Calabar.

Calabar will never disappoint anyday. . . but those Anambra villages are cool, considering they are villages.

But the woman look much younger than 48 . . . kudos.

kulutempa: 2011: 143rd out of 182 countries 182 - 143 = 39th most corrupt country (39 places from Somalia the most corrupt)

2012: 139th out of 176 countries 176- 139 = 37th most corrupt country (37 places from Somalia the most corrupt)

So in fact, we dropped two places in the rankings and we are moving closer and closer to Somalia

You are wrong. We have rather improved alot.
Check TI's website yourself on http://www.transparency.org/cpi2012/results

trillville: Gregg, why do u have to try to mess uncle jona up just to make up two spots.
If cote de voire is tied with two other countries at 130, how can comoros place 131 instead of 132. Corruption is a killer oh. Infact u messed up the whole list.

No, I "copied and paste" the full list directly from TI's website.
Those errors keep comming up. Please ignore my list and check TI's
website yourself on: http://www.transparency.org/cpi2012/results

trillville: just checked out the table on ur link. What led u to conclude that we are ranked 137th rather than 139th?

I think there's a software compatibility error.
However, ignore my thread.Visit TI website directly here:

gregg2: GEJ winning the war on corruption?

Nigeria moves up 6 places from 147 last year to 137 out of a total of 174 countries ranked.
Denmark retained its top spot as the least corrupt country in the world while Somalia stays put
at bottom 174th. There are however, 193 nations on earth.

Similarly, the Jonathan Presidency this morning feels Nigeria could have moved up many
places in the ranking but not for a heavily sponsored campaign on the media aimed at portraying
the administration as not being serious in the fight against corruption. It pointed specifically
at an alleged 5trillion naira looted during the Jonathan administration planted in the PUNCH
newspaper and various other campaigns aimed at influencing a poor rating for Nigeria by the anti-graft organisation.
