We are sadly deluded

It is ok, it is really a ceremonial position more than anything else. Afterall, the US president has military officers carrying the football, what is the big deal about GJ have a military ADC?

The man has no credibility, shame it looks like the US is willing to back him, as long as he gets them their oil.

It can also compete with Murtala Mohammed International Airport and force them to shape up, which will be good for the Aviation Sector.

If they are building an airport, then they might as well make it as big as necessary to accommodate a jumbo jet at a minimum. Chances are there will be no room for expansion once the project is completed. Or at least have a plan to allow for further growth.

We should not build a nuclear powerplant, because we have not mastered maintaining our regular gas and hydroelectric power stations. Going for nuclear power is like going from elementary school to PhD, which is not very logical. If we maintain our plant properly, we have enough gas to power them and provide enough electricity for a good chunk of not only Nigeria, but West Africa. It is just a plot to chop more money O!

Dem don chop money finish O!!

If he does a good job, that he has a right to stand for the next election, and no one can say a word.

I think a lot of those monies include salaries for his staff.

The Sultan needs to stick to religion and bringing peace, I know he is a former military man, but he needs to stay out of this. If someone is on watch, then you need to let him know what is going on. By not keeping the Acting President informed, there was a breach of protocol. If they meant no harm, like they have been saying, then the Acting President should have been notified.

Hmmm, why do we bring Egyptian doctors in? Dont we have enough doctors in Nigeria? I guess we are not paying Nigerian doctors well from what I gather,

The confusionists don come O! There are no laws it seems, just judgements on a whim!

He should remove them jare.

He already knows, so it is kinda funny that he is getting all officious on us.

Under no conditions should IBB be allowed to return.

She doesnt have the enumerated powers to do that, but de facto yes. Unfortunately, the government is ruled the way a traditional chief, ie emir, oba does. I think while we are busy revising section 145 of the constitution, we need to put in an amendment on spouses running the government too.

We need way more than 6000 MW

It has turned into a diplomatic imbroglio. Instead of the Saudis been upfront and saying exactly what is going on, they have done their best to frustrate all Nigerians. It would be interesting to see the next couple of steps taken by the FG.

Dont hold your breath

I think it is too early too tell, but I think Jonathan will have the privilege of knowing the mistakes that UMYR has made, and hopefully not go down the same path.

The plane should be brought back, it is way too expensive to have everyone living in Saudi Arabia and paying the landing rights fees. When the president is well enough, Jonathan will send a plane to bring him back, full stop.

Yes, the man should be prosecuted, but we need to look at the problem from multiple angles. If you are being paid the equivalent of $60 a month, which is not enough survive on, and then you have a gun, naturally you will attempt to use the gun to your financial advantage. Part of the problem is that Police people need to be paid better too. Of course, this does not absolve the police for their senseless violence.

Frying pan calling kettle black, kai!!!

The Northern cadre in the Nigerian Army wanted to secede from Nigeria right after the July 29 1966 coup.  Their British and American masters told them not to, because there will be no money, no seaport, low standard of living, so all of a sudden, they were shouting "One Nigeria".  How ironic!!!!

Clearly someone forgot that the website is in existence, it has not been updated since 2007, that is Nigeria for you in a nutshell.

It is plausible that heating up the ionosphere, droughts and earthquakes could result. It is not a conspiracy theory, I have seen documentaries on that here in the US.

Well, they have something to hide

Well, the bobo is from naija so expect him to ball!

If and only if Ikechukwu Uche regains his form after injury, otherwise it is Odemwingie hands down!!!

If you have watched any of his games, getting back on defense is not his strength. Either he is too heavy, or he is poorly conditioned. Once he goes up the field, he is heavily dependent on his central defenders to bail him out. Watch someone like Douglas Maicon get up field, and see how quickly he gets backs, when his teams loses possession, big difference!!!

Well, I think Nigeria needs to send an official delegation to the National Brotherhood of Pagans and Shamans, I thought there was freedom of religion and thought, but guess I am wrong!
