I'm no beauty queen, I'm just beautiful me

@ideylaff: You paint such a negative picture of Tinapa. Is it doing that poorly?   I have some friends who visited it over Christmas break, and they really enjoyed it, thought it was great.

you must be sick in the head to call duke's project a white elephant project

do you not know that without an international airport, how do you expect such place to grow

was it not this same PDP that frustrated duke out of the project

@ Alj Uche ,  me Sick haba, no need for bad language, my bro, 

when we speak we speak with figures, facts and experience,

Duke embarked on that project without proper due diligence, we told him the amount he was borrowing from the World Bank was just to much burden for the state to bear and all he needed to do was do the project in Phases

Build one and generate revenue to sustain another but he went on building all over the place like an fool

eg: Their is a honey making factory in Tinapa that employs people, we said to him make the factory bigger, start to make honey and other stuff you can sell/export to generate revenue and then the money coming in is used to service another part of the project,

na he just ignored us all

what was Liyel Imokes cry as soon as he took over, he said there is no money in the treasury,

Duke might have meant well but his ego got in the way by trying to Finish Tinapa in one whole swoop.

Ok back to your line of argument, of no airport,

Will you take an Hippopotamus to an Area where there is drought or no water/pool at all and expect them to survive, naaaaaa

PDP did not frustrate Duke, he himself was leading himself blindly, why build like a bush man and then think of Airport afterwards,  look at Tinapas
1st plan it was phased but Duke thought Rome was built in a day.

The oyinbos even told him sir, why dont we build operate , generate revenue and build afterwards, he said naaaa in the presence of his wife

Na we start am an we go finish am kinda ego got in the way, 

Go to Kenya and see only Lions and Tigers generating money for tourism with less capital expended in the whole experience.

he must have thought Disney was built in one day,

Have u bn to Disney b4 u will see that year after year they add a new ride or new experiences
to the  park to make it more interesting and eventful, They did not build Disney in 1 day


I am not talking of Tinapa from you tube video or NTA /CNN advert, I am talking 4rm facts based on experience

That is all Im saying and I think I deserve an apology for you to call me sick just because u don't agree with my line of thought

I wont engage you in that uncouth manner, naaaa

NB: A white elephant project = A rare, expensive possession that is a financial burden to maintain

@ jason123, no wahala, Bottomline is Nigeria should come out better after the election. A strong opposition in 2011 will help bring out the best of PDP in 2011. But just for the records, it is completely untrue that Nothing good can come out of PDP. All that is bull. It is an insult on people like:

Donald Duke,
Amaechi,
Ribadu,
Okonjo Iweala,
Sanusi Lamido,
El Rufai,
Soludo,
Deziani Madueke,
Akunyili etc.

who were appointed by and have served under the PDP led governement.

Even if you dont like PDP, it is wrong to cast both the wheat and the grass into the same fire. Mind you, lots of people in CPC today are people who were once in PDP. Are you saying all those who came out from PDP into CPC are bad? If so, why do you want anyone to vote your party. 1 tree cannot make a forest. I am happy however that for once the democratic process is coming alive.

Please Please don't insult us by naming Donald Duke amongst the bright ones, some 1 who used all his states resources to build Tinapa (white elephant project)that was a waste,  when he could have used the resources to fix the poverty and educational challenges that were starring him in his face.

Who dey visit the Tinapa (much expensive than a 2 week holiday abroad) that he built on his ego trip.

The project should have bn in phases. Finish off 1 phase start to generate money from 1 and use it to build the other phase,

Noo he wanted to finish it all in one go so his name could be on the records to say Donald Duke finished this, what a fool for a young lad,

Build Cable Car dey put Coat of Arms inside am for President OBJ to see and swell for head, on top nothing

check ot the so called Tinapa , middle class man cannot even afford to go for 2 days and yet he thinks its a laudible project,

No be only lion dey Kenya Games Reserve and dey make more from tourism than the whole 9ija put together. 

Sorry Duke was and is a noise maker playing to the gallery. I was not one of the ones bn fooled, I could see right through him, 

Building cable cars in a country that has no power, (LOL) I watch and see people praising him and I think they dont know
the amount of underage Prostitution going on in Cross River due to negligence of Education in Dukes time.

I have videos of schools with no chairs and blackboards in that state. Pupils sitting on bare floors to listen to lectures.

Yet he uses peoples money to invite Maxi Priest to come and sing @ their so called 30 day dance of shame called Carnival

A state where they do 30 days shame dancing and call it carnival 

What a very productive way to shut a state down for 30 days.

He has so brain washed the people dancing with his wife in town like the head clown. and calling it Tourism shame, His successor Liyel Imoke too has joined
the same bandwagonw as well, Using the so called Carnival to steal state money with his wife shaking her big bosom all over town in the carnival train,
idiots,

The fella even uses state money to organise one yeye silly mountain marathon (obudu race) and boasts in shame that its the most expensive mountain cross country in the whole world in terms of prize money, 1 yeye oyinbo boy go come win amd and we pay them the prize money in dollars call world press to come and see , all these in the midst of poverty in his state,  Talk about getting your priorities right, afterwards for the night party , he picks up his saxophone with his daughter and they start to blow one kind yeye tune,  to the galerry,  what a shame,

The total prize money for the 6th Obudu Mountain Race has been increased.  This has become necessary with the introduction this year of the women version of the African Nation’s Mountain Running Championship.

The total prize money has gone up from $245,500 to $278,000.  The prize money for the 1st – 10th position for the 6th Obudu Mountain Race however remain the same, graduated from $50,000, $20,000 and $9,000 respectively for 1st – 3rd positions.  The prizes for 4th -10th remain at $4,500, $4,000, $3,000, $2,500, $2,000, $1,500 and $1,000 respectively.

According to William Archibong, the Chairman of the Local Organizing Committee, “the increase in the total figure is necessitated by the addition this year of the female team version of the African Nation’s Mountain Running Championship.  The prize money for this event is also the same for both the men and women”.

i dey laf ooooo, pleazee pleaze 4 get Deziani Madueke I begii, she is just all talk and English with nothing upsupstair, she can carry on boning GEJ to retain her Petroleum Portfolio. we all know anyway,

Lol. I Love how the West executes its propaganda to make sure the dummy it wants in Power remains there. . . . . .

4. Buhari is honest, but without a visible plan for Nigeria. The last thing we need now is someone that will come and take us back to the 1970s.

If honesty doesn't count as number one criteria when looking for a leader, what then counts and if you kept saying he hasn't got plan, is it based on fact or what you wished?

Bros, I no spam no thread but I hate double standard.

@ agabaI23 , (i like the bros wey u call me )  u be wincheeee, how u take know say I old pass you,

These are the type of statements that make me conclude that Ribadu supporters are simply the classiest here and in possession of the most sophisticated viewpoint . You write as if this is all about Sainthood. The truth is that Buhari may now be enjoying some swing votes from Ribadu supporters but most Ribadu fans who have switched to the BB camp , that I have spoken to, do not think less of Ribadu . In fact they still rate Ribadu as better than Buhari but wish to sacrifice personal choice for what is best for Nigeria because "it has become obvious that Ribadu has not had enough time to become a force in the North" enough to carry the day overall.

Buhari has had three decades , as a visible public administrator , to garner the support he now enjoys in the North so be fair and please spare us the sanctimonious noise that Buhari is gaining support because Nigerian youths now think less of Ribadu . Some folks are merely being pragmatic because they want the PDP out . It will do you well to remember that if Buhari does not win then he is finished and will have to leave the stage while life still has to go one for all us . You cannot clone Buhari and , wether you like it or not,  Ribadu , flaws and all, is simply a modern version of Buhari with better exposure and more technocratic skills. Both men have had to operate in different eras and in different roles . That is a very important factor we must consider before wesincerely appraise both men. When Buhari is gone we will see the back of the last "old soldier" and folks like you will pragmatically have to end your search for saintly messiahs because , as far as "good guys" go, we will then be left with Ribadu, Fashola, El Rufai, Duke, Oshiomhole , Amaechi et al. If you think all those guys , including Fashola who I respect highly , are more virtuous than Ribadu then I think you do not understand that a complete saint cannot operate effectively in Nigerian politics currently.

Him picking Tunde Bakary is just a waste of time.

he thought he will buy Christian mind and to also change his religious intolerance but far from that.


and Tunde Bakary was a born Islam so is simple as muslim muslim ticket no way.

You fail to understand that most Ribadu Nairaland supporters are liberal, sophisticated and highly refined - more so than supporters of other candidates in my opinion. They are not thugs and don't particularly believe in shouting anyone down. It is my own guess that many of Ribadu's Nairaland fans are personally successful and proffesionally fulfilled folks going by the many sophisticated fans of Ribadu who happen to be prominent Nigerians we all know . Those type of folks rarely approach issues and life as if it is war or "do or die" . If Ribadu does not win he has certainly done himself and his supporters proud because the lamentations of the greatest Nigerian social critics ( eg Fela, Wole Soyinka , Gani Fawehinmi et al) is that too many Nigerians are happy to be bystanders while Nigeria burns . Ribadu cannot be accused of that. He has bravely chosen to be part of the solution and I for one thinks that , win or lose, Ribadu is a winner . At the end of the day I think most Ribadu fans have said all there is to say in recognising that , above everything else, it is effective leadership that is paramount and not bragging rights that "my candidate won and your candidate lost ". Campaign is now over . Minds are made up. let the election commence .

@ Gbawe of HARVARD, u don talk oooo.

Last October, the former Chief Executive Officer of Oceanic Bank, Mrs. Cecilia Ibru, was convicted of bank and securities fraud by the Federal High Court in Lagos, and was stripped of 199 assets and funds worth nearly N200 billion, much of which she had salted away all over the world. On one street alone in the Upper Marlboro area of Maryland, United States, Mrs. Ibru bought at least six palatial homes in 2009, and they were registered either to herself, or to such close relatives as her son, Obaro, her daughter Janet, or her daughter-in-law, Kemi Da silva. Despite the grievous nature of her crimes, however, Mrs. Ibru was sent to jail for only six months. Even that slap on the wrist was "suffered" in the cushy confines of a medical facility that is built like a five-star hotel.

Which Hospital she dey . I "CLEARLY" saw her coming out of her West London home about a week ago, seeing off visitors, all smiling, and I thought 2 myself, is this 9ija worth fighting for at all. No remorse No sign of guilt. No shame,
