there's dis novel by Ola Rotimi. it is titled "Ovoramwen Nogbaisi".
I read it back den in d secondary schl.
i tink dat will help if u can get it.

enough of all these promises.
he has made a lot of them in recent days and we r yet to see the implementations.
what Nigerians want to see is action.

.

I think u hav a point. But where d highly placed also cry, I wonder what is left for an ordinary Nigerian.

Former Federal Capital
Territory minister, Mallam
Nasir el-Rufai, on Thursday
bemoaned the spate of
unemployment in the
country, saying despite his
connections, he had yet to
secure jobs for his two
daughters, who are both
holders of Masters Degrees.
El-Rufai said this while
delivering a lecture at the
Sixth Annual Alao Aka-
Bashorun Lecture, organised
by the Nigerian Bar
Association, Ikeja Branch.
The former minister, whose
lecture was entitled
Impunity, Injustice and
Insecurity: What Role for the
Law,' said Nigeria needed to
create three million jobs
yearly to tackle its
employment problem.
He said, "Forty-two per cent
of Nigerian youths are
unemployed.
"I have two daughters with
Masters Degrees and they
are unemployed. They have
been at home for more than
a year and I cannot get a job
for them.
"We are sitting on a
demographic time bomb and
unless we have visionary
leaders that are able to plan
for the future, we will have a
huge problem."
According to him, the
Nigerian government is
spending N2bn daily on
security, instead of investing
in infrastructure and human
capital development.
El-Rufai queried the N100bn
Amnesty Programme of the
Federal Government, saying
it had not solved the
problem of pipeline
vandalism and oil theft in
the Niger Delta region.
He said, "Our oil production
output is at its lowest since
2009 as a result of oil theft
and closure of facilities by
oil companies.
"That is why the government
is borrowing more than ever
and dipping into the nation's
foreign reserves."
The former FCT minister
added that granting amnesty
to people who take up arms
against the state would not
solve the problem of
insecurity in Nigeria.
"Even if you grant amnesty
to Boko Haram, without
addressing the fundamental
issues such as lack of
opportunities, poverty and
social injustice, it will not
solve the problem," he said.
Also speaking at the event,
Prof. Akin Oyebode,
advocated life imprisonment
for corrupt public officials as
a way of reducing the high
incidence of corruption in
the country.
His lecture was entitled,
'Corruption and Insecurity in
the Society: What Role for
the Law?'

BAMILASSA: MAIN AIMS OF GEJ SOE ARE:

1. ENSURE CONTINUITY OF THE CONFLICT TO 2014/15 FOR HIM TO ACHIEVE HIS DIRTY AMBITIONS
2. ENSURE CONTINUITY OF THE CRISES TO GET AN AVENUE TO DESTROY ALL THE NORTH, THRU. MASS KILLINGS, ECONOMIC SABOTAGE,AND ISOLATION.
3. GRADUALLY, ACHIEVING MILITARY DOMINANCE BY THE IGBOS AND MIDDLE BELTANS, NOW FREE TO USE THE MILITARY AS A TOOL FOR BOTH POLITICAL AND CRIMINAL AGENDAS OF DIVIDING THE COUNTRY, AND AVENGING THE SO CALLED SS/ND MILITANTS SILENCING DURING THE OBJ/YAR ADUA ERAS.

TWO (2) GOOD THING AS WELL, MAY BE THE OUTCOME OF THIS SOE BLUNDER VIZ;

1. MILITARY TAKE OVER
2. POLITICAL SUICIDE BY GEJ GROUP, TRANSLATING TO CHEAP APC TAKE OVER

ANY OF THE ABOVE, WOULD MEAN THE BATTLE TAKEN BACK TO ND/BIAFRA DOOR STEPS!

LONG LIVE NIGERIA.

man, wat do u mean?
or beta put, wat r u driving at?
dat power shld go 2 d north?
dat JTF shld seize d onslaught against ur bloodsucking brothers?
or u dont want Nigeria to divide?
whichever way u see it brother, u r still a looser.
lets face it, d whole excess of dis ur socalled one nigeria is d southern nigeria.
so d earlier u started thinking like a real human, d better for u.

Dem say make we dey plant trees, now only one tree waste 31 lives....
Nawa o. Make we still dey plant?
By d way, wat happened 2 all d sacrifices d tree has taken b4 now?
Anyway, RIP 2 d dead.

we've never bn ignorant of dis. infact we r also aware dat our oil money had always bn used to fund des terrorlsts by d socalled northern leaders.
so let dem come out and tell us in plain words what dey truely want from Gej.

u see, d problem wit we nigerians is that we want to be associated with something tagged 'expensive' even wen there is a good substitute which cud be relatively cheap.
well as for me, i dont care who made it. wat i'm after is better quality at its cheapest price possible....
so ride on, tecno n3 is lovely.

I hav always had dis same tots too.
these are d more reasons i tink nigeria is sitting on a timed bomb shud d south wants to leave.

if u r truely wat u claim 2 be, y announcing it?
i sense u feel inferor.
a f-a-g?
too bad.

I have taken pain to go thru most of d posts and so i hav dis correction to make.
it is true dat d north is known for violence dat is capable of disintegrating d country, but den i can put it to anyone who cares dat, NOT EVERY NORTHERNER IS A BLOOD SUCKER.
As for Nigeria spliting come 2015, how I wish it will come dat easy. But by all indications, I dont see it coming.
All bn said, as a Southerner myself, I will vote a Northerner for president come 2015 if d candidate:
has good and genuine intentions for all nigerians,
is a Christian,
is a female.
if not, den.... I am sorry

y FIFA and not CAF?

in Christ there is no east or west.
in Him no south or north.
But one great fellowship of love.
Through out d whole earth
So where do u stand?

in Christ there is no east or west.
in Him no south or north.
Bur one great fellowship of love.

So where do u stand?

its a beautiful snake tho.
but d most lovely, most elegant and most admirable snake is d BOA CONTR.
seen it b4?

KingPradas: TONTO DIKEH AGAIN. Abeg make we rest, tired of this talentless fool

what has she done 2 deserve ur insults? he neva begged any1 to post topics dat relates 2 her.
u kno wat? it's not a must dat u comment. so reserve dos insults.

shud we "prophesy" evil and pray it comes to pass so as to gain popularity?
certainly dis is not from d genuine GOD.

dis is unbelivable!
so handsome guys like me dat even men appreciate, could be deported for a dat singular reason?
then would one rather be ugly to live in Saudi Arabia?
dis is a typical show of insecurity.

NK is no different from Iran. dey r both cowards dat boast of destructive might yet afraid of hitting d first blow.
barking like a dog tied to a stake does not frighten any country dis days.

y not? 9geria is a great location (not a country).
i tink d only tin wrong wit it is leadership.
if only dis can be changed, den 9ja is potentially d greatest country in d world.

yeah, i tink dat is one of d few few options he has left.
but has he got d gut 2 order such?

knowing and praying 2 d true God is the best tin in life, and not communing wit one unknown deity from an unknown planet.
d true GOD is neva on leave, so u can call on Him anytime of d day or any moments of d 9t. u know wat?
HE'LL ANSWER!

deliveryboy: Must we end up with religion and tribalism on every topic, the way some of us think is just exhausting, even on health matters? Haba!

dont blame dem. dey r only expressing deir feelings. it simply show we dont like ourselves and not supposed 2 be 2geda in d 1st place.
d north has severally gave d south reasons to hate so i tink dey r only been paid in deir own coins.
if we r going to change d course of dis trend, den more of d corrections will have to come from d north.

it suggest d type of a country we r born in2.
- a country where d law abiding citizens r treated like animals.
- a country where d violents take it by force.
SMH
iF U MUST SUCCEED, U KNOW WAT 2 DO?

this is not true.
den wat package do dey hav in place 4 deir victims?
dere's high unemployment 4 law abiding graduates and d govt dat cannot afford 2 pay dem #20,000 monthly allowance, is here proposing dis eyebrown-raising sum 4 uneducated murderers? too bad.
besides, where is d fund coming 4rm, ND?
let dem go ahead. but i can put it 2 any1 who cares 2 listen, dat d worse is in d store 4 dis God-4saken country.
we will serve it chill.

is dat y she's crying in d picture?
y shud u beg 4 a group dat is not remorseful?
what a bunch a hypocrites we hav as leaders!
besides, i tink she shud beg boko boys to 4giv GEJ and not d oda way round. after áll, dey r d attackers while GEJ wit 9ja is d defender.
wat a humourous irony from our former mama!

Miss Jegede all d way.
where is she now? really missed her on screen.
if i hav my way, i will marry her.

even cotonou here is a lovely site to behold at 9t.
hmn...
giant of africa indeed

a gud tot frm a well respected prof.
but...
Mr GEJ has no political will to impliment it.
so sad.

happy birthday 2 my dear governor.
