hmmmm well said brother just as if I am the one you are referring to . my uncle refused to come home after 14years in Germany. nobody knows the reason till date.

RockMaxi:
No 2 should not have been a weakness but the real strength of Jonathan. It will take us many years to see any leader with such ability.

DesChyko:
I'm a GEJ supporter to the core but in all fairness, it is better for the country if Buhari won. Parties will become aware of the power of the Nigerian voice and be forced to buckle up. Other than that, we are just like the bird that jumped from the ground and landed on a mound. The problem still persists (corruption) because of godfatherism.

"Escape from lawful custody"?

Make I help the Interpool narrow it down:

*if na Yoruba man, he's definitely from Ibadan...juju too much!

*if na Igbo, he's definitely from Anambra...them fit sacrifice anything to the gods

*if na hausa man....he must be a Kanuri

Now, get their pics to a police station in these states, all over the state and you'll find them in no time. Somebody somewhere will know their families and would wanna claim the bounty on their heads even if na only 5thousand naira

It's a mistake, yet they are somewhat the same?They are not somewhat the same.

London is a city in England .It's the country's capital.
UK comprises of 4 countries - England, Scotland ,Wales and Northern Ireland.

So, no you would not be cut some slack.

It's just like the dumbos that call Africa a country.

Nigeria, end point. Everytging ends in Nigeria, belgium cars, bycicle, gwanjo clothes, even spoons, belgium electronics and now even human beings are being smuggled in. God help us.

pretydiva:
There r millions of pple ready 2 jump at dat offer,if she eventually chose her braids. No sane human wil chose braid over her job

Craigston:
Naira was higher than the pound then. So they wanted to create a sycophant alliance with us. Opportunists.

Blitz888:
I thought your hate campaign ended with Nigerian Girls but alas hw wrong was I.. Now you've added to your 'exotic' hate list Bishop Oyedepo. Why are all your comments either tainted with bile and hate or outrightly disparaging and denigrating of others. Must you pull down everybody to your less than befitting level?
Nigerians are not as gullible and ignorant as you think... Everybody must not see the world from your jaundiced lens.

Okeikpu:
no be my fault, na the kind educational sistem leaders lyke Buhari offered us during 80s (╯︵╰,) just imagine dsame man coming out again......

charix:
He gave us freedom of speech (or the illusion of it). Either way airing out opinions is therapeutic and helps one go through stresses of daily life. In a dictatorship suicides are commonplace.

O ga gan o! Goodluck did not give you any freedom of speech. It's the constitution (or some people who drafted the constitution and believed freedom of speech is a fundamental right of a human being) that gives you that right.

Franzeez:
Good day nairalanders, having seen what our past leaders achieved in comparism with that of GEJ I think he has done well, he has tried, he deserves a second chance. The circumstance surrounding his govt has not been healthy, Insurgence, bokoharam, stiff opposition and so much disloyalty because of greedy intrest of politicians. For me I will vote GEJ in 2015, he is a leader. The best leaders are those unfazed inspite of so many chaos.... Nigerians will always have their opinions but GEJ is the right choice...

Roland17:
Distasteful...Animals in human skin roaming the streets and with lax laws and a culture of aggression being a victim is never far fetched..

MrMann1:
Except he rigs the election, I'm not sure he would win the election.

barcanista:
Gun possession and the lifeless body of the murdered person was found in the apartment of one of the defendants. This should be the court to decide. Honestly, I don't fancy the Justice System under Fashola's government unlike Bola Tinubu.

Meanwhile, murder offence is not bailable.

Oletty:
Nigeria, as we know it, is at a precipice. The federal structure, in which power is concentrated at the center is not working. For it to work, you need a strong leader who is able to hold the pieces together. Obasanjo, whatever you think of him, was the last strong leader. Given that Nigeria hasn't got strong institutions, the persona behind the presidency matters. If he or she is seen as weak, it only gives a field day to groups like Boko Haram, with their distorted ideology, to pillage, rampage and murder.

Inasmuch as Mr. Jonathan (GEJ) has good intentions for Nigeria, he comes across as weak. And in a country where the man or woman at the center needs to be strong--or at least perceived to be--this is a significant problem. I fear that we might be seeing the beginning of the end of the federal structure of Nigeria, as we know it. Nigeria might not split eventually, but it might end up as units of federations--not a bad thing per se, but the cost of achieving such is just too great.

The people in the North East are pawns in a game of barbarous chess financed by lunatic ideologues and political diehards. Extreme Islamic terrorism has come to Nigeria and what is going on in the North East is not too different from the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant's activities in Northern Iraq. The introduction of Sharia might have played a role in the rise of Boko Haram, but that's a story for another day.

Nigeria needs a strong leader. GEJ would likely get re-elected (that is, if he is not assassinated--and I fear this might come to be) but he would end up leaving behind a Nigeria that is fragmented and over-run by Islamic militants. He is too weak, too clueless and surrounded by bunch of bigots who are primarily interested in amassing wealth for themselves and their families. It can only get worse, believe me. Large swathes of the North East are, in principle, no longer part of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. My home town of Gwoza now belongs to Boko Haram. A business I was growing there for the past five years is now lost.

Northern leaders should hold their heads in shame. They chose to spoon feed their populace on a diet of religion rather than education. Time to get rid of Sharia and start governing our societies using our brains. A long battle it would be. Politicians are fighting to lay a claim to 2015. What's the point? Hundreds and possibly thousands more will die before the elections. It is at times like this that one craves for military rule. Really. Not all parts of Nigeria were ready for democracy. The South West was (it has always been liberal and more enlightened). The North? Maybe the slightly liberal Christian parts of it but certainly not the Sharia infested Islamic parts.

Onegai:
He's done nothing. Take it from someone who worked in his government. Everything this man wrote is true. Do you know how much my allowances were, and I know how low my grade was. I know how much those higher than me took home from LASG as "allowances". Even my mum who's seen Corruption upclose was horrified. Imagine giving Meeting allowance because Lagos state govt parastatals were going for a day's meeting to another LASG parastatal. Every meeting, they would demand to be fed, only for us to not achieve anything. Every launching, they would select pretty women from LASG and share free ankara and call them "hostesses" for the ceremony (Lord knows the ladies did nothing). How they would insist on govt car (and be parking their own private cars down the street, pretending not to have any) and got them. How they jump queue at GH and refuse to pay for drugs (then the hospital staff will start telling poor parents that the so-called "free" malaria meds for kids provided for by LASG has finished, they should buy it). The number of foreign trips for "training" abroad and led to nothing. The sheer wastefulness...

Do you know how many excellent Business proposals and companies have been killed, just so they (LASG) can award it to their people, who proceeded to do a shoddy job? The number of jobs lost is astronomical. I know of at least 2, which would have made Nigeria PROUD and hired Engineers, Scientists and Technicians and trained them for 25 years. I didn't know the people behind them but I almost cried when I saw what they were going through at the hands of my bosses (LASG).

Lagosians are clapping after eating sand because they are used to eating mud as Nigerians.

Its not a thrash but real fact. I believe Fashola has good intention for the State but with pressure from His godfather he decided to join the commitee of looters.

FLAWLES:
what u pple ought to knw is that this SO-called BBC waheva is nt bent on only accusing oyedepo bt NiGerian as a whole,,,they 8t us but we 8t them more

ToyozzieTohBad:
Thank God! Am the first to comment ooo

berem:
the nation newspaper whom you accuse of being a boko haram sympathizer has done exactly that. What other proof do you need Ifeanyichukwu? I have said it and will continue saying that you saTANists are making things difficult for Jonathan and making him look clueless.

God help you people!

mko2005:
If you understand economics you will know that good economic policies sometimes if not all the time can't be seen or felt on a short run basis.
Only two Months ago, Nigeria overtook South Africa as the continent’s largest economy after it overhauled its gross domestic product data for the first time in more than two decades. According to verifiable figures for 2013, released by Nigeria’s statistics bureau, Nigeria’s GDP hit $503bn (£307bn) – nearly double previous estimates and well ahead of South Africa at around $350bn.
This pushed Nigeria up 12 places to become the 24th largest economy in the world – on par with Poland and Belgium and ahead of Argentina, Austria and Iran. This is a huge achievement. For the past two decades, South Africa remained the largest economy in Africa. This development was not achieved overnight . It was a result of the direct dynamic approach of this same ph.d President in terms of greater investment in entrepreneurship and private sector participation.
The anticipated resultant effect of this is the attraction of more foreign investment to Nigeria. It is also a development that would motivate local investors to invest in Nigeria. The Diasporas also have been boosted by this development so in the coming months Nigeria would receive greater local and international attention in terms of investments.

God help us
