In the 1960s Eastern Nigeria was considered as one of the fastest growing economies in the world and Aba was the focus. Most of indigenous manufacturing plants were located there.
In other to subjugate the reviving eastern economy after the war by discouraging local patronage; items produced in Aba were labelled as 'Aba made' even by those who produced nothing and were entirely dependent on oil revenue being managed by Northern officers. You need to visit Aba and see the ingenuity of the people there. People who were able to refine Jet A1 to fly improvised fighter bombers and built armored personnel carriers to withstand an army with international backing of super powers for three years.
With some of these achievements, I believe that Baifra would have been competing favourably with the likes of South Korea and Singapore and not what we are experiencing today, sentiments apart.

Kidnapping todlers and infants is like kidnapping our tommorrow, we all must rise up against this evil act before it swallows the whole country.

Pretty much every juju story I've come across has been from a third party.
The person telling the story was not directly involved.
It's usually a case of "Someone I know, ".

I recall in my junior secondary school days when we participated in a youth football competition, realising that our next opponents were more skillful and better than us we decided to visit a juju man who gave us some concoction to drink before the match and asked us to bury a lizard head behind the goal post to prevent goals entering our net which we did. He also told us that anytime we kicked the ball at our opponents goalkeeper, instead of seeing one ball he will be seeing seven balls at the same time and that way we will be scoring freely.
The juju was effective because we lost the match by only 5 - 0 because our opponents lost many scoring chances, perhaps we would have been beaten 11 - 0 ;

There is no one better placed , currently ,than the INEC boss to shake Nigerians out of their apathy by urging them to register and vote to oust corrupt leaders !!!  It is the duty of Jega to make Nigerians believe their votes will counts in our collective desire to vote out usurpers and vote in the candidates who are the choice of the electorate. Keeping corruption at the front burner is neccessary to make Nigerians understand it is imperative , in 2011, they vote and do what they can to remove "self-serving rulers" ruining our nation and the future of our children.

I have no problem with Jega's utterances at all.

National Assembly delayed the amendment of the electoral Act till last month so that we cannot have a credible voter register (thats fraudulent) and now Jega is asking for additional time and we have a constitutional crisis on our hands. We must continue to speak out against corruption for the future of our nation.

At least its better than fraudulently telling us that we stand to win 100 million Naira daily by texting WIN to 131 for N100 per SMS.

I am still angry with MTN for fraudulently making a profit of 2 billion Naira from their world cup promo/lottery and giving out 10 million Naira only in prizes. Bloody suckers.

[quote author=G.B.T link=topic=518566.msg6807200#msg6807200 date=1285243359]Meanwhile the GEJ picture does not do him any justice as he looks like the yoruba commedian called BABA SUWE[img][/img] [/quote]I had to take another look at the picture . Maybe the man is better as a comedian GEJ/Baba Suwe and Company

The National Assembly should declare every wednesday as pidgin language days in their seatings. That way dem go dey yearn wetin we go quick dey understand. Allakwa, with pidgin english corruption will disappear from Naija.

Instead of saying 'the Governor of AZ state who swore an oath of allegiance to the constitution has been accused of embezzlement, looting or corruption' (which means nothing in this country), we should rather say 'the Govanor of AZ state dip hand inside our state money come thief 500 million Naira if him say na lie make e come swear to Otumokpo wey one konk juju man from Ijebu Ijesha don arrange.
I tell you corruption will disappear.

Chekwas Okorie should hide his face in shame. I dont care about the status of Ojukwu, but for a man who lost court cases to be declared as the Chairman of APGA upto the Supreme Court and still parading himself as factional Chairman should be put in jail for violating court orders.
Chekwas should be told that Nigeria is not a lawless country. I could remember him conniving with Chris Ngige and Chris Uba to rob Peter Obi of his mandate in 2003.

Look at this guy! you are talking about double decker bus being scary, when we jump on OKADA across third mainland bridge and overtake trailer without fear. This question should be for oyinbo people in London.

Me I don enter guongoro hang on top goods to school as a student to save my transport money and you dey get phobia for luxury double decker for Dubai. I hope say you no fall our hands for there because Naija people no dey last.

YEA! Let the new generation contest against themselves. We want to see a vibrant campaign of issues and not the politics of zoning.

CONGRATULATION! AND JUBILATION! CELEBRATION IN OUR NATION!!!!!
Love conquereth all, it doesnt matter where the parties come from nor they meet each other, whether from India, Jamaica, Enugu, Zamfara or Afghanistan if both of you are happy and fulfilled in each other thats the best exprience you can have in life.

My advice is that we are proud of our Nigerian women, pls show her all the love you can (Indian style) as we normally see in Bollywood movies. Sing Indian love sung to her every morning, we Nigerians love it jimmy, jimmy, jimmy - acha, acha, acha a

I give Nokia only one month to sell the ORIGINAL version before the Chinese guys come out with Chinko version for 5K (same design, same colour) and every Okada rider, akara seller will be brandishing the C6, C7 and even C class the only difference will be in the spelling of the name NOKIA, instead you will see NCKIA C7 or NOKLA C6

Allah kwa! All of una wey dey busy dey analize another man wife and four kids mama no get work at all, at all!
Arousing ko, tantalising ni!

Waoh! I just say make I peep at the Guardian adverts but ended up spending a lot of time on your blog. But I hope you start something on PRIMAVERA for those who have done PMP.

Gov Ikedi OHA-SCAM sorry I mean OHAKIM collected N2000 for 10,000 non existent jobs from 250,000 Imo State graduate applicants and till now he is yet to offer them any jobs. NDLEA collecting money from applicants shows that the Federal govt is insolvent and the country is facing economic crisis. We now collect money from jobless applicants to pay govt employees. Shame!

If he were to be in Nigeria, by now the Police report would read:
SUSPECT WAS SHOT DEAD WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ESCAPE FROM POLICE CUSTODY (File Closed)
But he is lucky say na Americans catch am, thats why he even have the efrontery to reject his lawyer. Does he know how many awaiting trial inmates in Nigeria that cant get even if na Charge and Bail Lawyer to prosecute their case of stealing ordinary fowl that he needs to get protein for him body.

MLM is nothing but Multi Level Wayo! Multi Level mago mago. Your friend introducing you into it and those who started it makes money on your head and you labour in vain. All their promises of Diamond director to get you a BMW car or travel to USA for holiday is nothing but Chinese jingoism.
There are better things to do with your money than getting involved in 'CHEATING PETER TO PAY PAUL'

how much of Dangote bottled water, salt, sugar has he donated to his people being ravaged by cholera in Northern Nigeria. This can be used to prepare salt and water solution to reduce dehydration. CHARITY AS THEY SAY SHOULD BEGIN FROM HOME

otokx:
The gift was rejected because it was neither benz, toyota or honda; what the hell is subaru?

;DAkala no see Hummer or Chrysler Limousine to buy for his Royal Highness, he rejected the SUBARU because if care is not taken na Jincheng jeep Akala go bring next time

MTN also did the same promo, they promised 120 tickects to the world cup, but gave out only 4 and the 4 winners were brought back even the final match.
Mr Peter Igho (DG National Lottery Commission) stated that MTN made N2billion from that promo but gave out only N10million worth of prizes. I dare Mr Igho to ask MTN and the other service providers to return the monies dubiously collected from Nigerians in the name of promo.

I also was called by Cool FM on Air that I have won N250,000 and I was shouting on my phone on Air with so much excitement, only for me to take a taxi drop for N1000 to their office and I was told it was 250,000 Kobo that I won and they asked me to come and see the manager on Monday. I was so angry that I have not gone back there again just to collect N2500 (equivalent of 250,000 Kobo)

Something must be done urgently about all these fake promos by corporate organisations in Nigeria

EX-OBJ AIDE TACKLES RADIO STATION OVER FAKE PROMO

When he got a phone call from a privately-owned radio station that he had won a trip to South Africa for the finals of the 2010 World Cup, he was delighted. So when 96.9 Cool FM, Abuja, summoned him to its studios for a live programme to testify to the genuineness of the promo, Mr. Jessie Obinali, a former presidential aide, did not see anything wrong with that.

Now, almost two months after the fiesta, Obinali is at daggers-drawn with the radio station. Not only for allegedly deceiving him, but also for using him to deceive many others when he testified on air that what turned out to be a grand hoax was genuine. The former Special Assistant to ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo is already a legal action against the station for giving him what he described as a fake air ticket to South Africa.

It is a story of trust gone awry.
Prior to Nigeria 's first match in the competition, which was against Argentina, Cool FM had embarked on a promo termed 'Predict and Win.' Listeners were asked to predict, with a promise that those who successfully did would be rewarded with an all expenses paid trip to South Africa for the final match. Obinali got his prediction right and was promptly called by Cool FM to come over for other formalities ahead of his trip to South Africa. Things went soar at some point and his dream of watching the match was dashed.

Obinali recalled how his hope was raised when he got a phone call from the radio station: 'I was excited. Before then, they spoke to me and said that they were going to take me on air live. They said I should show my excitement and how happy I was as the winner of Predict and Win promo. When I screamed and showed my excitement, it was taken live and they said I should come to the station the following day. We went on air, and I did all that they told me to do. I told listeners that they should go ahead and text as many times as possible.'

After a few days, Obinali was informed that his ticket to South Africa , match tickets, and hotel reservation were ready. He was given photocopies of those documents which he showed to Daily Sun and asked to go to the South African Embassy to process the visa himself: 'They asked me if I had a passport, and a bank account because I needed to submit all these to the embassy. I took all these materials and went to the embassy. The funny thing is, they said that I should process my visa myself and that there is no way that it can be done within a week.'

He said he kept reminding the station manager, one Sophie Tarfa, until it was two weeks to their planned departure. Tarfa, he added, kept telling him that he would be called at the appropriate time. By the time she gave him the materials, it was about three days to the supposed departure date.

But a shocker awaited him at the South African Embassy: 'When I went to the embassy, they looked at all the materials that I brought. First of all, they said that the match ticket wasn't a real one. That I needed to clarify the flight ticket that they gave me which was time-bound. I got the materials three days to departure, and they needed at least five days to process the visa. They told me that there was no way that they could process the visa in three days. I went back to them and complained that they gave me the materials late, and there was no way that I could get the visa.

'The manager (Tarfa) told me that she was just taking instructions from her boss who was in Lagos. I said you have to compensate me because I have already gone on air to tell people how good and real you are, and you have used me to make money. I discussed this with her, and she said all she could do was to relay it to her boss, and she would contact me. 'I kept calling her, but her phone was off. I decided to take a step further by going to the Ethiopian Airline, because they are representatives of South African Airline, to crosscheck the authenticity of the tickets. They told me that the tickets were fake.'

Obinali said he started having some funny feeling when they 'were asking me if I had a passport and a regular bank account. I know that all these service providers send people to the UK but they facilitate the visa, and they do everything themselves. In this case, they said I should get the visa myself. It was okay with me as I just needed the documents so that I would have enough time to process it. Then they started delaying until when it became too late.'

However, Tarfa denied that Obinali was given fake documents. As an organization, she said, Cool FM would not issue visas to anybody. She said that the issue of visas is a responsibility of the embassy, and was outside the terms of the agreement. She, agreed that documents were given to him late, but also absolved her organization of blame. She argued that the World Cup tickets were sold out two weeks before the end of the promo: 'Because Cool FM had a deal with the Federation of International Football Association (FIFA), Cool FM was able to obtain a ticket for him.

'Talking about the World Cup promo, what the promo said was that we were going to give the winner a return ticket to South Africa with any person of their choice, with accommodation and tickets to the games, which we did. When the promo was over which was two weeks to the World Cup itself, we had a deal with our personal company that was sponsoring and FIFA because the World Cup tickets were already off-line and were sold out.

'Nobody gave him a fake document. What the South African Embassy told him was that the time was too short. If he sends it back to South Africa, it means that the visa is not for the World Cup. The World Cup is on the weekend, and the visa will be ready the following week.' ?Tarfa ruled out any compensation for the aggrieved man. She pointed out that the terms of agreement did not provide for that, but only made allowance for those documents which were given to him.

Both the Pastor with a small congregation of just 50 worshippers in Gainsville Florida and the Imam intending to erect a Monsque at ground zero are both twats and retards who have ended up achieving cheap popularity because of the media who gave them undeserved attention.

The Muslims should have ignored the Pastor knowing that the Koran is 'embeded' in their hearts and minds even if he goes ahead to burn it, he will not reduce their love for the Koran.

I congratulate the Christian leaders for coming out openly to condenm Pastor Jones, that shows tolerance and maturity by standing up to defend other peoples religion and beliefs and should be emulated.
Do you also know that a church in America gave out their church auditorium to muslims in their community to use as a place to deliver Tafsir messages during the rammadan?
I am not a muslim, but I enjoyed breaking the fast with my muslim friends (free meals) and even hope that rammadan will be every month

Strategic move by GEJ to get the support of the South East by giving them a position that all the Northern rulers refused them. IBB who refused to make any Igboman a Chief of Army Staff during his tenure is offering them 2015 Presidency. My people a bird at hand na him better pass.

Good riddance to that yansh hole Danbazau who has terrorised the people of Jos. I hope Gen Maina is also removed as GOC of Jos to give room for genuine reconcilliation among the various religious and ethnic groups in Plateau State!

With this number of Hilux vans and retinue of Policemen all clustererd at the Govt to separate an imaginary proposed fight between 'LAWMAKERS', robbers will be dreaming of having a field day without Police intervention which normarly arrives Three Hours after the robbers have left the scene of operation. Nigerian Dan-Sanda, Olopa, Ndi Uwe Ojii, i hail o! Una corruption no get part two!

saintchux:
How many of this people talking now are delegates to PDP primaries??

That is where the (S)election starts before the one we all will participate on.

Everybody claims to be a founding member of PDP including this mallam, abeg make una find one adviser position in GJ cabinet for this guy and he will sing a new song Na dia way!

A state like Kano with 44 LGAs and Jigawa that was carved out in 1991 from Kano by IBB has 27 LGAs and Lagos has been stuck with only 20 LGAs.

Imagine how much acrues to old Kano 27 + 44 = 71. Gwaram LGA in Jigawa is less than 50,000 population according to the census and receiving the same amount with Alimosho LGA in Lagos population of morethan 2 million, some say 4 million.
Abeg make una check am, dis kind thing for Naija, e good?

oladayo042:
The CBN says the N50 with six numbers and that with seven numbers are not fake. So where did you get your theory of "fake N50 notes"? Only a retard like you will be counterfeiting N50 when there is N1000 & N500.

Na him type dey use mouth bite 500 note make e no disappear from their pocket. Abeg leave am, na poor man

Rastamann:
Na wa for you guys! ANy which way, na something go kill man one day.

It happens in Naija many times of men dieing on top of their mistresses. The irony is that the reverse is the case here of a mistress dieing under the man abi na on top the man, the thing just dey confuse me

Remember how he and his boys invaded PH presidential hotel and caused a blood bath! Amnesty is for the Federal Govt, I dont think the friends and families of the innocent citizens they killed and wasted including the many raped ladies in PH have granted amnesty to those 'militants'
Many more heads will roll in the Niger Delta.

If the Biafrans could build Armoured personnel carriers in 1966 operated with locally refined petrol, I wonder were Naija would have been by now if we didnt destroy their concept due to tribal and religious sentiments. Today we spend billions on inferior Chinco products that are not allowed to be used locally in china
