You go fear fear nah!

He should settle for the senate (Oyo North Senatorial District) or forget it! We told him same in 2011.

Ok

Sirniyeh: hello, were you paid to attack people on nairaland? Try to go back to my reply, i said he should have written basically only suggestions and not attacking his colleague who is a president over him.
I said I'm disappoint in his abusive words. An educated personality who intends writing to Mr president as his/her contribution to develop Nigeria should not use abusive word.
The abusive tones nullify the integrity f the letter.
That's my submission. Clear?
Please, don't ever try to abuse me again. Stop abusing me orelse I curse your 2014

Who are you to curse anyone? Are you cursed? I no get your time, abeg!

superstar1: Coming from an Igbo person, I was very surprised.

The guy white washed bro Jonah publicly.

I hope one of the snipers won't be send to America to assassinate him.

Well, that makes the number 1001.

We already moved on since January 15, 1966.
God bless the DEAD!

In another news, another open letter to the President!
Isn't it the season of open letters?

superstar1: Thank you oo.

I had to read it again, to be sure I did not miss out the way forward.

He is just a product of under the mango tree university, without the patience and brain to read through and assimilate an essay without being confused.

Lol...I'm sure he's gone back to read the write-up properly, given the rejoinder to his earliest comment!
But the writer finish bros Jona no be small oh!

Sirniyeh: I'm not a PDP member but we must not run away from the fact.
Attacking Mr. President will all manner of insultive and barbaric words shows the level of person IQ.
As a PHd holder, if your colleague is going astray, it's your responsibility to revive him and not ridiculing him publicly.
Wisdom is profitable in all things. If the last page of your open letter is what you only posted as your suggestion to the development of Nigeria, it could have even made you and your message more honoured.
Even though it is true that Gej is womanising the top fat subordinates and alchoholiking in his privacy, why must you come up to expose him?
Shame on you Dr. Osudi

Oh! So, you've eventually read the piece? And how did he expose the President's alcoholic and randy nature? Isn't that an open secret known the world over? Leave matter for Mathias, abeg!

Sirniyeh: I took my time to read all. Well, for spending such time to write such epistle of emologomasnism, you proved yourself to be PHD holder.
But attacking Mr. President can not solve Nigeria's problem. As a Phd holder, I expected you to list way forward, suggestions and ideas to restructure and make things work at the convenience of the common nigerians.
But you disappointed all phd holders. Well you are birds of same feathers.

If you truly read the entire piece as claimed and did not see the writer's suggested way-forward, then you're an epic fail or at best, a product of Nigeria's failed standard of education. Why am I not surprised? Isn't the President a supposed Ph.D holder?

Dirge for the President!

Eko o ni baje o!!!

Merry Xmas Dubai!

Thanks @justi4jesu and ogakpatakpata.

momoohwos: @icon8. Your post is indeed funny. There's just too much unecessary information. You could have easily asked for tourist destinations in the U.A.E.

Different strokes for different folks!
I provided the "unnecessary" information to avoid going back and forth and having to provide additional information later. I thought it was necessary to be specific so that whoever is willing to provide me with the desired information would have a fair idea of my itinerary.
Anyways, like someone earlier teased, I'll get myself a tour guide. I thought the thread was meant to guide tourists not familiar with the UAE, no?
Asking for tourist destinations in the UAE is like a foreigner planning to visit Ikeja asking loosely for tourist sites in Nigeria. Is he willing to visit Calabar, Abuja or PH?
Thanks all the same, I'm out!

nattybanta: Very funny lol what are tour guide meant for?

Really? My enquiry is funny??

Hi all,
I'll be in Dubai with my family for a few days from December 25. Any suggestions on tourist attractions that would be worth our while? We'll be staying in Bur Dubai for 3 days, then Deira for another 3 days. We also plan to visit Abu Dhabi briefly and return to Dubai same day.
Thanks!

Justice served!

It was an august occasion!

OMA4U: Thanks to those who commented.

ICON8: Okay, share your experience in campus activism. Thanks

Nonen: By now, I think you're done with the flashback. I'm earnestly in quest of knowledge and I believe you have enormous I could tap from.

Igbokwe Sampson: Thanks so much. If I may ask, as someone who has been through this, who would you advise someone going into it?
Thanks.

Abeg now, this is politics section which I know how vibrant it is. I was expecting to get more from the elders. By any means, the moderators - Afam, OAM4J would have knowledge of this. And also some other nairalanders who are household of this section.

Please I beg you to contribute, I have put so much trust on Nairaland that I would get more than the needed knowledge. Abeg contribute........

Very well then...I'll be as brief as possible.

I started out as a keen follower of events, having discovered my natural dislike for injustice (suffice to state I have an incurable penchant for challenging the status quo). After one year of understudying the campus activism terrain and trends, I decided to take a shot at the Students' Parliament (known then as the SRC). The victory was a landslide and my first sitting in the parliament was not without events, as I had crammed the entire constitution over the week leading to the sitting, as well as some big big grammar to announce my foray into activism. That earned me some accolades and instant approval cum followership within the "house" membership and amongst observers. That was to mark the beginning of a long spell in the parliament, spanning three parliamentary sessions, the last of which saw me becoming the "House Leader" (I had become the "Majority Leader" the previous year).

Two years later, I was to become the "Speaker" of the House, but my gut feelings told me to rather take a shot at the "Presidency". I followed my instincts and vied but lost the presidential election in a controversial manner (that would be a long story for another day). I returned to the Parliament as the House Leader, this time representing my hostel constituency (as against representing my department as was the case in the previous two sessions). I was only in the parliament that session to while away time and re-strategize for the next election which came too sudden. I re-contested for the Presidency and won convincingly, as the vote cast for me alone was more than twice the sum of the six other aspirants' votes put together. My Presidency wasn't without its challenges (from the authorities, opposition, community, NPF, SSS, etc), but I'll say it was largely a success. I stepped down after a year (at the expiration of my tenure), although I was unable to hand over to a successor, as the election conducted to elect a successor was deadlocked, and the "Union" was subsequently proscribed! *SAD*

xtenxive: Intend to write Prince 2, please will like to contact you for advise on how to go about preparing.
I hope you'll be helpful

I've replied your mail. Wish you the best!

Project Management skills and certification. I recently got PRINCE2 certified (Practitioner).
Leadership and Innovation (I further honed my skills in this aspect this year).
Family (stayed home with family more this year).

Making the mistake of not heeding this advice was IBB's greatest undoing and marked the beginning of his freefall, as he would go ahead to annul the June 12, 1993 election that followed, which was the last straw that broke the camel's back. I believe it's not too late for Jonathan to retrace his steps and re-strategize. To retreat is not a sign of weakness. Discretion, they say, is the better part of valour!

PDB BOT Chair et al...

You go fear fear na

Let's hope another "accident" doesn't truncate the "call-off" process!

I participated in campus "activism", not politics! If this is what you meant, I'll be back to share my experience...

Amandla Ngawhetu!!!

Great one there, from a great mind! Struck a chord with me...

Thanks for the info.

Kairoseki77: What has he been putting on your face to make it change?

Igbo spArm...serious rubbing!!!

So, Akpabio now acknowledges the fact that the number of PDP governors is now 17 or 18 at best?
