For those that did not notice this road is in a certain utopia/eldorado called LAGOS!!!!!!

This is a combined failure by our political class. By this I mean all our leaders from state level to federal level, and not just from this era but also from previous era!

To pretend it's GEJ's alone is simply living in denial.

Fashola and Tinubu also have responsibility here!

You can't praise APC/Fashola for all that is right about Lagos and then turn around to blame GEJ when it is bad news!

That's just double standards!

Of course its Lagos, your other states with 13th century village roads are unmemorable !!!

“We challenge him to tell Nigerians which part of his [b] ‘civilised’ world [/b]has there been a call on a President to resign during an on-going war.

“When terrorists attacked the United States of America in September 2001, the leaders of the Democratic Party did not demand a resignation of President George Bush but rather they rose in defence of the American nation to support the various measures taken by the President to defeat the al Qaeda terrorists.”

Well, Mr.President, the problem with this comparison is: NIGERIA IS NOT A CIVILIZED COUNTRY AND YOU DONT COME ACROSS AS A VERY CIVILIZED MAN.

Also, when the United States was attacked there wasn't a time when President Bush exonerated Al Qaeda after they took responsibility for their actions, nor did facts reveal that Bush and Obama were buddies. Osama didn't say Bush asked him to fly the Planes into the tower then accuse Democrats or a certain tribe/ethnicity/ or race, either.

The day Nigeria men learn to treat their wives like they want their mothers and sisters treated, our homes will have less problems.

Wow, I can't believe I'm agreeing with this demon...

Nigerian men are mostly very chauvinistic and egotistical. They need to learn how to treat women like jewels. Nigerian women also need to learn how to stop acting like men. Both parties are usually very aggressive and rarely have "soft" sides to them.

Nigerians can't ever get anything right. What a sad society.

1. Collate accurate and reliable data of drivers.

2. Do same for the vehicles.

3. Link police cars with computers that can access such data immediately a driver is pulled over

5. Set up traffic courts.

6.Ensure that tickets/fines can only be written by law enforcement for traffic violations, with the alleged offender given the option of paying the fine into Government accounts or going to court to challenge the alleged traffic infraction against him/her.

7. Put in place measures that'll ensure bribes cannot be given/taken in exchange for lower tickets when a driver is pulled over.

8. All these are fantasies because Nigeria is a sick and uber corrupt country that doesn't believe in development or moving with the rest of the successful parts of the world.

GEJ till Nigeria realizes that supporting mediocrity in Govt will make them backwards and keep the country in poverty till the end of time.

ROSSIKE:
STUP.ID, DUMB AMERICANS. THEY SHOULD GET READY FOR ANOTHER RECESSION AND NUCLEAR WAR, WHICH IS WHAT THEY SEEM TO WANT, BY VOTING REPUBLICAN. HOPELESS PEOPLE. PEOPLE WHO VOTE IN A PARTY THAT'S GOT CRAZY IDIO.T.S LIKE JOHN MCCAIN AND SARAH 'I CAN SEE RUSSIA FROM MY ROOF' PALIN, DESERVE EVERYTHING THEY GET. IGNORANT FOOLS.

We're actually living pretty good if you ask me.

How's Africa doing?

Instead he encourages it, making the present even worse than the past.

co2:
if this report is true which I hope it is, it means the NOI poll is credible nice one the last one month has not been favourable for the federal government

Credible indeed. 74-14=?

BrosPeter:
Lets hope buhari's bokoharam don't spoil the party.

Like GEJ started off the wave of bombings last election and blamed all his opponents at one time or the other until he finally became your President?

dekronik:
So called caliphate, renaming of towns, refugee crises- is this the end of Nigeria as we know it? The US insisted that Nigeria will be split by 2015. Now a small group of untrained almajiris is making a section of the country "ungovernable". Most of weapons they use are US manufactured-through Libya. Is this the end?

Your President is allowing BH to flourish after numerous incidents have linked him to the group, ask yourself why.

Actually this was where it all started.....


MEND Not Responsible For Bomb Blasts -Jonathan

October 3, 2010 at 2:06am


President Goodluck Jonathan has absolved the Movement for Emancipation of the Niger Delta, MEND of complicity in the bomb blasts which claimed over scores of lives as the country was celebrating its golden jubilee independence anniversary in Abuja yesterday.

In his first public reaction to the bomb blasts which took place less than a kilometre away from Eagle Square where he was inspecting a military parade in commemoration of the nation’s 50th independence anniversary yesterday, President Jonathan said terrorists were behind the deadly explosions and not MEND.

However, MEND had not only claimed responsibility for the deadly attacks, the militant had in an e-mail messages to some media houses warned of the impending attacks and advising people to evacuate areas close to the venue of the independence celebrations about an hour before the explosions went off.

Contrary to this claim,President Jonathan however absolve the group of responsibility for the attacks in his address at a colloquium in Abuja by the ECOWAS Parliament. Jonathan, at the event which was organised to celebrate African countries which are also marking their golden jubilee anniversary this year also delared that MEND is not a terrorist group.

“What happened yesterday was a terrorist act and MEND was just used as a straw; MEND is not a terrorist group,” the President said.
He added that the people of the Niger Delta are aware of the efforts of the present administration to address the deprivation of the past and will not do anything to jeopardise the opportunity.

“It is erroneous to think that my people who have been agitating for good living will deliberately blow up the opportunity they have now,” Jonathan said. The President who prayed for the repose of the soul of those who lost their lives to the blast however promised that the nation’s security agencies will be restructured to be able to tackle such attacks in the future.

Meanwhile, President Jonathan today visited some of those injured by by bomb blasts at the National Hospital, Abuja in company of first lady, Mrs Patience Jonathan. During the visits, the President sympathised with the victims of the bomb blast and promised that government will be responsible for their hospital bills. Security has been beefed up around Abuja as a result of yesterday attacks. There are heavy police presence around major hotels in the capital city.

onatisi:
and tinubu,atiku and saraki are the perfect examples oof these politicians that will take nigeria to the glorious height because they are incorruptible politicians and leaders ,abi? Welldone .I am sure very soon u will say ooyinlola too is a progressive politician. What about the 50million naira bed fayemi bought ,as far as I can remember fayemi hasn't denied that charge or accusation. Better know this today, all nigerian politicians are the same irrespective of the party they belong too. Apc politicians are crooks and criminals just as pdp politicians are .

Oh, thats the new trick?

"APC politicians are crooks just like PDP politicians are, but lets vote PDP anyway"....


Who says you wicked corrupt souls aren't ingenious?

Am I the only one that notices that GEJ seems like he has a "hard on"? Isn't that like a 14yr prison sentence in your country if you get aroused by another man or doesn't the law count because he's in another jurisdiction?

Collynzo29:

Oversized suit, undersized tie...

I honestly think GEJ's close aides go out of their way to humiliate him on purpose.

abila122:
Nigeria is the Giant of Africa if it is Nigeria does not intervene then it will cause us to lose the respect of other Africa Nations especially in west Africa.

Actually, nobody respects you anymore. Stop deceiving yourselves.

mekaboy:
I hope those policies u draft a front desk officer can pay ur house rent talkless of having a wife and kids. I know the fume of generate has clogged ur brain, u cant think straight.

Rent?! I benefitted more from your country FINANCIALLY in the years spanning 1987-94 than your forbears and 10 generations after you will ever dream of achieving--- even if they used the most potent hallucinogens you can find out in the dark alleys of Lagos Island. Believe it or not, by virtue of that---because you're a very immoral and money hungry society--- even my children have more rights than you in your own land. Why do you think I often feel so bad for most of you id*iots?

By the way, the first time I saw an electrical generator was in Vietnam in '68, second time was when I arrived your backwards country for the first time a few years later.

mekaboy:
You are saying the other govs present arr jobless? Obasanjo who has various businesses , employes and feeds millions of Nigerians left his business to attend.

Obasanjo and his Ilk earn a living by scamming the Government out of funds meant for the development of your country through "Contracts" and the such. If You really think Mr.Obasanjo employs "Millions" or that he depends on his "farm" to maintain his lifestyle, then you're clearly more dense in the head than your writing shows you to be.

tboynaija:
The Truth will always remain bitter to people like you. Tell me the kind of Change you are expecting from someone like Atiku. Take a good look at Apc, 80 percent of them are from PDP and they are the major stakeholders in the party. As for GMB, that man will be worse than GEJ, he is the most desperate politician in Nigeria, and i wonder what he forgot in Aso rock after many years. why can't he leave the stage for a younger politician ?

I don't know if people like you are just crazy or what? I have NEVER advocated anything less than prison for Atiku.... but you know what?

I'll let you stew in your tribalism and bigotry. Continue with it and in 30yrs, tell your kids---when they complain of how backwards Nigeria is--- how it benefitted you just as it benefitted your fathers before you.

Nobleval:
This people never learn! Return which money? I'll be comfortable if they keep the money. It is not even up to what a certain governor used to furnish a bedroom here in Nigeria.

Or what GEJ uses for meals for 60 days.

$32,098.56/day x 60 days= ____?

hercules07:
He does not want to be educated, he has brought the same attitude he has to GEJ to this discussion, when saner people and most Americans are unhappy about Bush and his cohorts, he is telling us porkies here.

It's called "Pretence". Quite hilarious how he's acting like he has an idea what he's yapping about.

atlwireles:
Taxi driver, please keep your eyes on the road. Gerrymandering, is the reason democrats lost, senate and governorship seats in Maryland, Massachusetts, Florida, Illinois and maybe Virginia. I thought you were smarter than a primary 5 pupil.

You've had enough time for even Nigeria's notoriously slow Internet to boot up and allow you search Google. So, here goes again: What is a gerrymander?

tboynaija:
APC claim to represent 'change' yet we keep seeing the same people who have milked this nation dry as their presidential candidates. Nigerians are not fools. I can only vote for APC when they field a competent candidate and not Buhari and all those frustrated PDP waste products.

This argument is stale. Try another one.

atlwireles:
What voting pattern are you talking about? Are these not the same voters who made Obama President?

Roflmaoooooooooo

Hercules07, please explain what a gerrymander is to this pretentious illiterate village billy goat.

Nichobabe:
It does not always follow. Bill Gates is still the richest man but not from my country.

I'm talking about your country and Mr.Otedola, not Bill Gates or the United States.

Gosh, you kids are ... smh. Education must've really taken a turn for the worse in Nigeria because the logic most of you obvious children express on here is just...Pheewww!

hercules07:
Apparently you do not know about politics in the US, the turnout of democrats is usually low at these elections, also, the republicans have gerrymandered the districts so they will win, in 2 years democrats will still win the white house and at least one of the houses will be back in their control.
The issue of PDP or Jonathan being nothing more than failures is not up for debate, because the economy was rebased means Jonathan is trying abi when oil has been at record highs in the last 16 years yet no steady power.

How do you now start to explain the bolded to this Atlwireless man that has clearly never left his village?

atlwireles:
Please remind us if your APC in Nigeria or anything close to APC will be tolerated for 5 mins in the United states. Your APC closely resembles the Clan or the Nation of Islam. Both operating, from the fringes of a democracy.

Your democracy is still developing, and most of your population are(by Western Standards) still backwards and uncivilized, so you would be forgiven when you think that Americans would sit back and watch Politicians drive them into destitution for 16yrs while they live fat off the resources of the land.

I can tell you this for a fact, GEJ would've never been made Chief-cook of the White House to talk of leading it. And if by chance, say, he became leader of the United States, he would've DEFINITELY been impeached and thrown in Federal Prison within a year--- if we are to take all the unbelievable crimes he has committed against the Nigerian state into consideration.

If the U.S was Nigeria, a good majority of your politicians, plus your civilian population, would be rotting in prison because of yalls criminal tendencies.

atlwireles:
Oil prices are down, so what? The last major investment in the continent was lead by George Bush a republican to combat aids. Please remind us of the great policy advancement, your Islamic hero Obama led in the continent?

If you really think I will sit here and discuss American politics with an African that obviously doesn't even have the slightest idea, but wants to pretend like he does, then you got something else coming.

nduchucks:
I don't know what this artwireless of a guy is celebrating, really. I'm not so sure that the new political climate in the USA bodes well for Nigeria or Africa as a whole.

I don't believe this atlwireless of a guy is smart enough to enumerate his reasons for celebrating. 'Copy and paste' does not require any thoughts. I'd withdraw my statement if he could give us the reasons why a repubilcan control of the US congress is in our best interest.

ROFLMAO I just said the same thing before seeing your post. These illiterate clowns that have never been outside their hamlets don't have an idea what's in store for them. All they know how to do is pretend like they know what they're talking about. Wait until Congress does something crazy like authorize the bombing of Nigeria back into the stone age Or the abduction and extradition of the President a la Noriega using Boko Haram as an excuse.

These village jungle clowns....smh

Tr1balEast:
its not easy to lead a densely populated nation like America and Nigeria.

Are you ok? How are you even comparing the two with a straight face? You should be comparing your country to places like Senegal or Zambia. Even South Africa is light years ahead of you.

atlwireles:
After 6 years of Obama's confusion, leading to the most explosive growth of Islamic terrorism. American is finally going to have a course correction.

Republicans are in control of Congress, Oil Prices are down, the United States is self-sufficient/reliant when it comes to energy, most Republicans are ultra-conservative...

If you think this bodes well for you, not just as a black man, but especially as an African all I can do is just laugh at your ignorance and naivety.

atlwireles:
You don't have the votes to win your state, talkless of pointing a finger at the great PDP. All your propaganda, like Obama can go so far. The ediot will now learn how to be a good american for the next 2 years.

Or he can just use his Presidential powers to the max? Anyway, that's what Democracy is all about. At no point in time did you see Obama kneeling down in front of Priests or pitting one race, ethnicity or religious group against each other, either with action or words. He also didn't start withdrawing Security Aides from his political opponents...

Oh, Wait, that's true we don't just toss Security operatives at Politicians for their protection when ordinary Americans need it more. Plus, States have their own laws and control their own police, so Obama simply can't issue directives to them just because he feels like it.

Anyway, it's called democracy for a reason. Yall need to learn how to practice it properly.

emiraty:
Yes "daddy".I believe we are all aware of the ojukwu story.
You really wish to compare ojukwu's marriage to buhari?
Wish I can sit down and analyse why to me ojukwu's was way better but its a matter of personal opinion.But do also note that ojukwu is not the one coming out for president,and he is dead! Speak his name no more except in good.!uhari should expect character assassination, very normal in politics.
By the way ojukuw and cc ononh did reconcile hence the traditional marriage been finally held and attended by him
They might not have been close as before,but most important is that he attended and blessed his daughter's traditional wedding.
Daddy, am off .

I am not "comparing" anything. I do not care what two consenting ADULTS do, so long as no laws are being broken. All I was saying is: Stop throwing stones inside glass house then complain to the heavens when a Window pane cracks or gets completely broken. Anyway, if you ask me I think the pedo*phile would be the one that held a 7day old baby, as a 33yr old man, then had the guts to bring his se*xual fantasies to reality with her years later. But like you said, it's all a matter of personal opinion. I believe majority of the world would agree with me that that was a sick and vile act especially from such a respected man.

emiraty:
I love you manners. Am not a memeber of people deceive people [pdp]
You claim to know buhari, then you should know he married his daughter's friend.
- have nothing against him but do have an idea on how he thinks. He or she have no loyalty in them therefore cannever be trustworthy or dependable.
Not gonna argue with you,dear.go and ask him.
Good night, love

You do know that Ojukwu was Bianca's godfather, right? Meaning, when he was 33yrs old and Bianca was only 7days old, he held her in his arms during her christening/baptism.

Why do you think her father hated Ojukwu till the day he died?

You kids really need to learn to stop throwing stones in glass houses.
