Mr knowitall.:
Well you should understand that from the Chinese point of view, Nigerian and Nigerian politicians are silly negros that

they can take advantage of. It would be difficult for the Chinese government to respect Nigerian government, because they

view them as people that are too corrupt. The Chinese government is more likely to give Dangote a much better welcome than

the Nigerian president.

correct................gbam

Nobody is condemning the couple, just that the DL GS should practice what he's preaching. What is good for the goose is also good for the gander. How do you expect the other members that were punished for the way their children felt like dressing on their wedding day feel, just like these ones. Were they punished, limited in the church activities of even ridiculed? Please let all concerned resign NOW.

What we need in Nigeria is to have FIVE parties which should be entrenched in our constitution.

The benefit includes:
1. Cross carpeting will be greatly reduced if not totally eradicated.
2. Disgruntled members will be forced to reconcile within the party as leaving may completely edge him out of frontline politics or make him start afresh in another party.
3. Over time political structures and culture will emerge and stable since no one can just set up his/her own party as we have it now.
4. Do or die politics will die.
5. Respect for Constitutional provisions will increase.
6. Party democracy will be strengthened.

I know the major antagonizing posture to this postulation would be that it is against freedom of association, but we must know that freedom cannot be endless, hence my choice of Five party system which will allow ample variety rather than two party system.

My people, this will engender healthy competition and allow the electorates (both educated and non educated)to make informed and accurate choices at every election and democratic process.

What's your view?

Mouths running Nigerians.............well say your piece
we shall see tomorrow, who will attend the dinner and who will not, and then the talks will continue. waiting to see

bknight: Hmmm...wedding vows!

I think it should be included that 'I will not divorce...' else u can still do most of the above while divorced. Afterall, some still silently love & cherish their ex-partners deep down in their hearts and will love them till death, even after a divorce.

This can be right, you know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jonathan Is Confused and God will punish him, the blood of Boko Haram victims are on hid head and his generations will die young and die by bullets and bombs.
Why Boko Haram bomb innocent Nigerians for no reasonable cause= Jonathan set up amnesty committe= Boko Haram reject anesty,s aid its Jonathan that needs one from them=Jonathan declare SOE=soldiers invade bok haram spots=Boko Haram fires back Kill 3 soldiers, shot at Air Force Plane= soldiers capture some Boko Haram=SOE still on going= and Jonathan orders release of captures Boko Haram?=he is realy confused God help Nigeria, every Nigerian is just on their own, in the Jungle, survival of the fithest, you die, you die no goverment cares for you. it is pathetic-------------

PHIPEX: A part of me tries to see this as a shocker that shouldn't happen but I am tempted to go with the presidency in this (if it's true). What am not too sure of is if this is coming too early. let's remember that SOE is a means to an end and not the end itself. While it's easy to get sentimental and wish all Boko Haram members dead, I think this is a good strategy where the two doors are open; dialogue and military force, it's left for each member to choose where he wishes to belong. Moreso, considering the North-South divide in this country, it could be another opportunity to prove the gainsayers wrong who think the South has gone to war againt the north. Our ultimate target is not just a temporary peace in this country but peace that will last and to me this isn't a too hard price to pay for it. Military force alone hasn't ended violence in Iraq and Afghanistan, infact our Niger-Delta is more peaceful than both countries today.

In times like this I remember this golden letter by one of the World's greatest leaders when he was faced with this similar situation in his country; a civil war in America.
"I have examined personally all the papers in the Lyons case, and I see that it is a matter for executive interference. So I turn it over to you with full confidence that you will do what is just and right; only begging you, my dear General, to do nothing in reprisal for the past- only what is necessary to ensure security for the future and remind you that we are not fighting against a foreign foe, but our brothers, and that our aim is not to break their spirit but only to bring back their old allegiance. Conquer by kindness- let that be our policy. Very truely yours, Abraham Lincoln."

This statement can only apply to Biafra and Niger Delta not Boko Haram

Great achievement, even greater for her to have kept her home and family. This many women of today often sacrifice for their career.

Inadequacy in a nation/society engenders struggle, added with corruption results into crisis. This is the Nigerian situation. Would you agree with me?

Very Important NOTICE/ADVICE to any young man who cares to LISTEN
Do not do court Marriage with any lady,get married traditionally or church and that is all. Just my advice.

So if the majority of practice a religion in a way, how do you conclude the tenets of such religion.

All these people are attention seekers, i just wonder the relevance of all these aguements when both of them had there chances to make difference, yet non of them actually did. It is not enough for Soludo to do well in the Banking sector (consolidation) or El-Rufai as FCT Administrator but what impact did they have on the global issues bedeviling our nation. ALL OF THEM, THE LEADERS HAVE FAILED
