South West is Liberated? that is laughable and unintelligent talk.Thieves are chasing away thieves in the name of being better thieves. I DEY LAUGH .If you don't know no state in the East is under any visible God father or God father in disguise.

tell me how that is unintelligent i hope PDP will be swept out of the SW for good by next week.

We can all still remember how obj single handedly selected and installed Yar'adua as his successor, and it suggests that a Nigerian president can play a huge role to decide who succeeds him. If this is the case, it means that Buhari is a big key towards a very bright future for Nigeria. The reason I said he is the big key is due to the fact that if he gets elected and exhausts his tenure as president, he would make sure that someone as honest and competent as he is will succeed him. And when his successor completes his tenure, he would also ensure that another honest leader emerges as president, and it goes on and on to make Nigeria have a dynasty of very good leaders.

In the case of Jonathan, he is not as honest as buhari, and wouldnt mind handing over to a crook at the end of his tenure. And when this happens, Nigeria will be doomed to have a dynasty of crooks as leaders going by the system of selection and installation of successors in Nigerian politics.

Vote wisely.

This has much to do with elite circulation in the Nigerian context.

Are we not tired of this god fatherism culture already

The context affects the outcome as much as the outcome cannot be separated from the context. It will take a long time to change that culture, as I know it has become a shared pattern of interaction among the elite class.

are you jeleous because I have travelled

this is completely unnecessary. naa wa ooo.

I await your reply once PHPN brings light back for the giant of Africa so you can charge your phone, GIANT OF AFRICA

I lived in a township close to Newcastle in South Africa for six weeks. I can tell you they shed lights there. I experienced it, ok. Not only that I also experienced water cut. Nigeria situation is worse, there is no doubt about that.

Remove the white poeple in south africa, and you will have another Malawi or congo in its place. Thats the truth

the recent past xenophobic violence in south africa is a testimony,

I only hope this is not '4 real',

while Nigeria's Lagos and Abuja airports are not even worthy of a local airport; SA operates

I bet you do not know what you are saying . How many local South African local airports did you pass through? You only wanted to downgrade Nigeria completely eventhough S.A is more developed than Nigeria. What would you say of the local wing of MM?

Everyone has got the right to choose whoever s\he feels is a good choice, for me I am going for Ribadu

I said both Nigeria and South Africa have their pros and cons. No need to start arguing Nigeria is not a giant of Africa in reality knowing fully well that she's not.

In holistic term, yes. Even so I am proud to be a Nigerian. Its just a matter of time. SA had her independence in 1912, Nigeria in 1960. She had use cheap Black African labour in the process of her development, Nigeria never uses cheap labour. Nigeria has never enslave and accumulated wealth base on enslavement. One can explain the differences in the degree of development from this perspective.

Cape Town is the second most beautiful city in the world

As I said, still debatable. Are you saying cape town minus cape flats and langa

Is it the higher violation cases,free to carry gun without license, increase in HIV + or daily strike,lack of water and power supply in many rural areas,that makes SA better than Nigeria.
I was told i was delusional on my opinion,even UN still recognize Nigeria more than SA,take it or leave it.

you dont really know what u are saying in those bolded.
ITS ONLY ONE WHO HAS NEVER BEEN TO RSA THAT CAN CALL NIGERIA THE GIANT OF AFRICA, Nigeria is in no way a match for RSA

@ nfo, I should clarify. Nigeria and South Africa are not only the two countries in Africa, so most this, most that in Africa is also relative to all other countries in Africa. So, if I said 'most beautiful' is debatable, its not only limited to S.A and Nija, perhaps Mauritius is the most beautiful country in Africa perhaps not.

I said both Nigeria and South Africa have their pros and cons. No need to start arguing Nigeria is not a giant of Africa in reality knowing fully well that she's not.

and so, http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-12610268

Nigeria is the most supportive country in Africa for overseas students, in an international league table, countless of other achievements. RSA has got better infrastructures in main cities, that is clear. The fact is rural SA is no better than a typical Nigerian village. I had seen it myself, I have been to a ZULU community around the boarder of Lesotho and I can emphatically say it is a completely rural underdevelop place just like any remote Nigerian village. Apart from being Africa's economy giant, all others such as most beautiful, most secure, most friendly are all debatable. So, I would say, RSA is good at marketing. Both nations have their pro and cons. Nigeria should learn to market herself in good light to the rest of the world.

I am saying Nigerians do not need to demonise Nigeria. I did not say Bimbo has done such by expressing her opinion about SA. So, like SA, Nigeria can portray herself whatever way she likes, and want people to see.

Yes, Bimbo is right to voice her opinion. Shes right to say whatever she thinks SA is. Also, Nigeria as a nation can idealize itself as much as she likes. We can portray ourself the way we want, and let others see what we want them to see.  

However, there is no need for Nigerians to demonise Nigeria. Nigeria has it problems, agreed. SA too has a lot of internal problems, its the only country in the world where I have seen someone been robbed of phone and her money in broad day-light and people passing by and saying "ha ha this is not good" not to say it happend at J'bourg park station. It would never had happen in any popular bus station in Nigeria. IMAO

What research are you carrying out? What relationship does the number of obas being a muslim has with creation of schools? You better set your questions right! The nation is already tense with religious issues. Dont come here to nuture religious fundamentalist, particulartly when it comes to the south west.

NEPA's Indoctrination

Does any one knows the names of military officers in the AFRC/SMS of Abdul Salam Abubakar Military Regime? I want to see if any one of these people had held political post this republic. I have tried to source the names online through Google and Nigerian Wiki but to no avail.

in our society theres nothing degrading asking out a girl, dnt try it in sharia states oooo, bt my advice is: tell her how you feel about her at the right time, in the right place and in a good atmosphere,

beware of y*rima

The reality is we have a big population of illigal people in our country who commit crimes,and most of them lives in this poor communities where they can hide,although most of this criminals do crime else where and come and hide in this comunities,they sometimes steals from their neighbour,and in South Africa poor comunities they don't call the cops,they sort you out,mob justice.


Yea, I agreed some Nigerians deals in drug. However, I disagreed majority of illegal people in S.A commit crime. The most of these illegal migrants are those engaged in such activities like barbering and selling stuffs on road sides. Poor South African are lazy, they have little or no business acumen. They are the ones that commits most of these crimes. I once stayed for a month in a remote township in Newcastle, I know what I am talking about.

exploiters by National Council of States

The era of 'Ghana-must-go' has gone; I mean, it has gone into the dustbin of of history. Is it not that the unified Ecowas passport allow a Nigerian to live in any Ecowas country for 90days? The Ghanians should put there house in order, equip their police and develop their security systems rather than blaming foreigners for the increase in crime rate in their country,

Yes, I wish Nigerians could just vote the PDP out, its a wish anyway, since the umpire is appointed by them, perhaps the umpire might be a PDP member

I cant wait to see the next half Lets see whos gonna loose this game GJ gegen FIFA (halb zeit)

there's nothing wrong for him prostrating, or even rolling on the ground for obj. obj is an 'old man'; and in yoruba culture a young male is expected to prostrate in greeting an elderly person, not even when the person is as old as his father. anyway, from another perspective, i would say it signifies patron-client relationship. bankole has to do this for obj to save his ass from being kicked. 'birds of a feather', they are!

Even hell would reject these bastards.

make hell no reject them, he better make dem burn for hell 'coz its only two: hell and heaven. so if hell reject them, they just end up in heaven

someone please, I need a risk assessment of doing politics in Nigeria I need to know how much I have to invest, in what terms, at what level that would ensure I REAP multiple of my investment. Its a big business o,

Ekwueme said its a 'gentlemanly agreement', Obasanjo be African man original, he no be gentleman at all o am just sick and tired of this rigmarole around rotational presidency!!! It undermines our choice to choose who ever we want as our leader, that is in case the votes even counts,

Allawee jamboree, abeg make me too join politics if this has become the norm.

why cant he just place ban on the country participating in any international events, he went to Canada with 140 man delegation: http://www.saharareporters.com/real-news/sr-headlines/6353-president-jonathans-140-strong-delegation-to-canada-sr-stands-by-its-story.html and they are there talking about misapplication of fund, 'the horse behind look up2 d one in front in a race': Mr President get ur priority right!

so, what wont Nigerians have absorbed, if the white men told the discovery of river this, river that, to those communities living on the river bank, ever since my first history lesson, av been wondering how the white man would have discover a major river in my land. A river where my old old papas go to for fishing, we all know history is written in the interests of who ever the writer was.
