PoliticsRe: Jonathan Is An Embarrassment To Ph.D Holders - Professor Akin Oyebode by Ilaje44(m): 11:31am On Oct 31, 2014
TheNaijan:
Disgrace to PHD holders?Really? Give him the post and he may screw up like the rest! Anyway, this is not about him...
Even Obama and Clinton had low ratings, they have been called dumb and made un-smart decisions...and yet they went to the [b]best Universities in the world(Ivy league) and graduated with high grades in respectable courses...
Not all smart people are good leaders... And not all PHD holders are generally smart...For example: A PHD holder in English, Igbo, etc may not have lower IQ as a PHD holder in Mathematics... This doesn't make the person with the PHD in Mathematics a good leader either... The person with a PHD or even just a degree in Igbo or Yoruba may be the better leader...
Besides,Good Luck Jonathan was better than Obasanjo and most of Nigeria's old so-called leaders... It's him that raised issue about population control and all that... He is clearly under-performing...but Nigerians should first take a good deep and unbiased look at histroy I'd prefer him to most others...
Hello, did I hear you say Jonathan is better than Obasanjo? Can you please elaborate on how and where Jonathan has surpassed Obasanjo? I don't live in Nigeria, but I have been opportuned to visit Nigeria as time permitts me to. I visited Nigeria during Obasanjo, Yaradua, and Jonathan times, and also comparing the economical indices, I would rate Obasanjo very much above Jonathan. If not for death, Yaradua could have probably best Obasanjo, but definitely not Jonathan.

The thing I hate most about Obasanjo is his unforgiving nature, in that area, well, Jonathan indeed has really beaten him hands down considering how he and his minions have been fighting seen and unseen enemies.

I was shocked when I saw the news on Channels this afternoon. Let the decline continue, perhaps our salvation lies in the total crash of international oil prices. At least the dunderheads in Aso Rock and the various state government houses would start thinking like human beings for once.
If oil price crashes further, the next thing these idiots would do is to go borrow and put Nigeria in bigger debt trouble. I can bet on it that, that' what your coordinating minister will suggest to the brainless president.

Young woman, I understand your embarassment. Nevertheless, it's wrongly placed, because there's certainly no state in Nigeria that is called "Dutse State". There's however Jigawa state (formerly part of Kano) with it's capital town (not city) being DUTSE. Now, can I see you blush?

Dont make the politicians as scape-ewure jare. Its about the whole society. Nigerians are generally unruly, less cultured due to societal decadence. Nairaland is a reflection of Nigeria. Censorship of harmless words, generally self-righteousness, abusive, ignorant, and purportly godfearing, but evidently ungodly populace.

That you fought to destroy Apartheid does not give you the freedom to disregard their law. The way you behave in Nigeria is not the norm in most part of the world. Lawlessness is frowned upon in all decent societies. Someone would have been held responsible for this brainless deed if Nigeria had a responsible government or institutions.

Even in Nigeria, there are legislation regarding how much you can take into or out of the country without declaring it. I understand Nigeria is also a signatory to international anti money laundering agreement.

dada01: As much as I disagree with some of ur arguments, knowing fully well that there has never been a transparent government in the history our country compare to the government of the day.

Btw, my post was only my humble submission.
In what ways has the government of Goodluck been transparent? Maybe deception is transparency to you just like small small stealing does not connotes corruption in Goodluck's sense of reasoning. All the committees set up, what are their results, where and when have they been implemented. Goodluck's government make policies mostly to punish the already suffering masses, and to enrich his supporters and cronies. I don't blame him much, he has no capacity to change how this country is run. And I 'm afraid that the future is really not bright for this country when people like Jonathan, Akpabio, Fayose, Atiku, Wamakko etc. form the ruling class, and politically, Ibos can not see eyes to eyes with Yorubas, neither Itsekiris with Ijos etc. for them to form a united front against injustice. The way towards a better Nigeria begins with me and especially you that are younger than forty five. The beginning of a change towards a better Nigeria is when the Nigerian police is totally overhauled, and institutions become empowered, and do not depend on the persons of the executive to perform their statutory duties...

HealthRe: Nigeria’s Actions Seem To Contain Ebola Outbreak -New York Times by Ilaje44(m): 4:54pm On Oct 01, 2014
semitunde: Twisting the fact to somehow show that USA was part of our success story on Ebola. When the truth was that they actually didn't want to help, and probably quietly wanted us to fail so they can gloat about our helpless situation.

We did it right and they realised it would be seen as quite odd that this was done without the world's Superman's help. Superman my foot.

I won't be surprised to see pictures of our successful Ebola cases with american faces slotted somewhere in between.
Nigerians can be ungrateful atimes. Americans don't want to help you, yet a lot of volunteers from the same America came down to help you set up the Ebola centres. Do you think if these pioneers have been gutless like a lot of your Nigerian doctors, you would be here praising Nigeria? The people that encouraged Nigerians to help Nigerians are in my eyes the people to whom the greatest credit is due. The survivors of the epidemic have corroborated what the NYT has written, even though you think they are biased.

BTW, Lagos, nay, Nigeria is a sprawling slum by all decent standard.

So lets celebrate wat we have even if its for dis 24hrs n curse on d rest we don't av tomorrow n d days to come.#No nation is perfect.

In what way are you better than most of all the countries in Africa, and the Arab World (third world countries)? You better don't disgrace yourself. Even Palestine that is occupied by the State of Israel, and in constant warlike struggles has better hospitals and personnel than Nigeria to just mention one area alone. BTW, they have no oil! Or Yemen where electricity is more constant than Nigeria. You should visit Ethiopia, and see how grand self imposed dellusion is. It's only someone that has never left the shores of Nigeria that would place Nigeria ahead of Syria in terms of development. Syria may not be a democratic country, but they had/have a better standard of living than Nigeria. Their capital Damascus, is the oldest city that has existed continously in the world, and before the crisis, people trouped to Syria to see the ancient fascinations. Do you still want to talk about Iran, Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco? In term of corruption, disorganisation, lawlessness, Nigeria is competing in the league of the States like Haiti, Central Afrique Republique, Congo Kinshasha, Uganda, Mali etc. despite her wealth.

What can you get done in Nigerian institutions without them wanting bribe from you? You enter this jakujaku airport that was arguably facelifted with hundred of billions of Naira and what awaits you? Corruption, decay, stench... You better don't expose yourself.
PoliticsRe: Photos: Nigerian Heads Of State From Independence Till Date (1960-2014) by Ilaje44(m):
HNosegbe: The incursion of the military into government was the most unfortunate event in Nigeria's history. We would have gone much further if we didn't have the misfortune of being ruled by the men in uniform, corruption notwithstanding.

Anyway...

Yeah, the military had no business in politics especially the evil genious Babangida and the Satan incarnate Abacha, but without the miliatry interfering in 1966, Nigeria would have ceased to exist by now. The imposition of Akintola on the West by the NPC and NCNC and the illegal conviction of Awolowo would have led to a total break down of law and order eventually.

The mistake Nzeogwu made was to kill the masterminds of the political lawlessness in Nigeria at the Centre, in the North, West, and Midwest, but let those from the East off the hook. And then Ironsi succumbed to the idea of his folks to make Nigeria a unitary state. We are still suffering from that single mistake till today.

0merta: There were a lot of better-qualified Yoruba Professors and Scholars than the then Igbo VCs of the Universities of Ibadan and Lagos, but an Igbo man was the ceremonial President then and he presided over the appointments of his kinsmen.

A shameful act of cronyism and sheer nepotism, if you ask me!
You correctly answered him. This is one of the reasons that led to Akintola saying that the AG can not afford to continue to be in the opposition. Zik used his position to install his kinsmen in all important federal institutions in the South. He singlehandedly turned the NCNC into an Eastern party. That Ibos were made VC of the federal universities in the West does not mean they were the best qualified. They got those positions through nepotism. When people say Yoruba are tribal, I laugh them off, and ask them some really insightful questions, and they are put to shame thereafter. The Yorubas are one of the most hospitable people if not the most hospitable in Nigeria. The Yorubas have the penchant for going extra mile to please strangers.

Yes, your explanation might be what Jonathan meant, but that statement he made is totally wrong, and the OP's question is completely justified.

I have listened to a lot of Dr. Jonathan's speech and interviews, mostly very dull I must say: And in no instance has the guy shown himself to be a learned person that he perhaps is. The statement would have been more pardonable without that word "almost", because Lagos is indeed part and parcel of Nigeria.

@OP Could you possibly send me a link to the video sequence or the topic he was addressing in the speech? Thanks very much in appreciation of your troubles.

Walspring: I can see alot of foolish fools saying rubbish here because they cant think at all and they only read and comment. Lets leave sentimental here and we should ask ourselves the real question cos i dont like politics and you guys should stop unnecessary argument and say the facts

I wonder why a sitting governor cant not secure the court proceeding with enough security guards when he knew what they are doing there is in favour...

All of you arguing here do you ever think or ask yourself while securities are not enough or available during the court proceedinghuh Is it not the governor in a state that control the security affairs? Who control the state security is it Fayemi or Fayosehuh So something is wrong somewhere if Fayemi secure the court for just mere thugs to invade there...

If you dont know maybe you should all be aware that Fayose, Fayemi, Ayo daramola and co are the same paddy... If Fayose let the cat out of the bag, it will bounce back on fayemi, Although you people might not understand that statement.

If care is not taking, Military will take over from Fayemi (state of emergency) to restore orderliness and peace then Pdp will be swear in and no more court case...
How would you classify your incoherent rant above? You could make your argument without resulting to insult you know. And by the way, in which constitution or other law did you read that the state government in Nigeria has control over the security agencies? Securing that premises is not the duty of the Governor, but the commissioner of police of that state, who as you may now know is answerable to the IGP.
PoliticsRe: EKITI CRISIS: Fayose; Another ‘idi Amin Of Uganda’ – Femi Falana by Ilaje44(m): 4:51pm On Sep 29, 2014
Opiosko: I don't think u followed this matter well. Pls try and read the parties argument..... There is a saying that "the court/judge must not only do justice, but must ensure that it must seem that justice has been done". The presiding judge should not have fixed his judgment day in such a way to make an appeal impossible before the inaguration day since his judgment is not final on the case. The court should not be seen as favouring one party otherwise it's not justices but robbing Peter to pay Paul.
All over the world, Judges have the liberty to decide when to hear, to continue to hear, and to give their verdicts on a proceeding they preside over. If anyone feels the time set by the presiding judge is unreasonable, and your lawyers can't convince the Judge to reschedule the appointment, I think the law also provide an avenue to seek a restraining injunction from a competent court. You can even get the case withdrawn from the particular judge, if you can proof that he was biased in deciding the date of the hearing.

At least that's how it's in a country that is not ridden with lawlessness as we have in Nigeria. Soon, everyone that's financially capable will have their own personal army, and lawlessness will multiply.

edogirl2: Actually, with over 30 years untarnished reputation fighting for our human rights (me, you, and everyone else), I would like to think that Mr Falana is to be respected for his contribution to our life as a nation.

I am sorry to hear that you are disappointed in him because unlike our thieving politicians, he's probably not rich enough to come home to Ilawe now and again to distribute rice, ankara etc. Mr Falana is a man of modest means. I also think we need to move away from demanding that townsmen and women must 'benefit' from an individual for that individual to matter in society. You are effectively asking this guy to be corrupt, otherwise where will he get the money to 'benefit' Ilawe people?

Please be assured that many of us who have witnessed his sacrifices for us the people are eternally grateful to God that he was and continue to be on our side (the ordinary people of this country).
Young woman, if there's indeed a God, I see no reason why he shouldn't bless you for the intellectual sanity displayed in the above quoted statement.

TV/MoviesRe: Alakada Or Jenifa? by Ilaje44(m): 8:26am On Sep 24, 2014
Profcamsey: I am not much into nollywood but I have watched both Alakada(Toyin Ahimaku) n Jenifa(Funke Akindele). The two lead actresses in this movie really tried, but I ll go for Alakada. Dat movie was fun from d 1st scene to the last especially Part 2n3. Personally, I think Return of Jenifa was overhyped due to large source of sponsorship and the use of many stars. I don't I really learn a lesson from Jenifa, a runs girl who actually made it. Jenifa character was too fake and she over do things (because I dont know why her intonations/pronunciation didnt change) but Alakada looks natural and I realised that there are people like that in our schools and society. You have to see Toyin in other movies she's always funny. Chau Chau
Clicked on Alakada to watch it on youtube now, and I was already put off right away by that woman in the "intro" that can't pronouce "R".

BTW, Jenifa2 was really overhyped! I bought the film, and was disappointed real good, although it still made me laugh.

I can't just bring myself to like the life of lies of Yetunde. So, it's Jenifa jare!
