Is the Ibori business accomplished? The AG needs more time

We all have to speak like our honourable politicians if we are to make it to the top   

See what I mean

How are we sure that it is not 1500mw they are calling 3500mw. Have you noticed any improvement in power supply in your area from what you had before? even an hour more?

The sad thing is that they will consider it unnecessary to apologise to the people of Nigeria for not being able to deliver on their promises and tell us why. Did you notice the minister saying

Dr Babalola revealed that power generation, as at the weekend, stood at 3,500mw but explained that the most important thing being put in place was to have efficient power system, “whether we realise the 6,000 or 10,000mw and this is what we are trying to do.”

That was indeed very rude and arrogant.

Mr blazer:
Are you tied of being a man? .

Just setting the record straight. No more ambiguity. Thanks lovely Amaka

sayhi2ay:
they have lost their sense of responsibilities, now they are losing their common senses

No sense and no responsibility towards nobody. They are a bunch of opportunists whose ideology is that of drunken sailors.

redsun:
Of course nigeria is systemless,we don't have a pattern.In a country where rule is rather vague or non existent order can never reign.

Even, there is nothing federalist about our federalism where all the power is concentrated in the centre

alias64:
Poverty did not cause the filth depicted in the second picture. What caused the filth in the second picture is a break down in culture brought about by trying to provide the western values of the first picture to the masses. The poor do not have to live in filthy conditions.The so-called experts have a set of indicators used to determine poverty. These indicators are often revaluated but the last time I checked filthy conditions were not used as indicator to measure poverty. A poor man can starve in a clean environment ask the North Koreans.

Its the duty of an elected government to improve the living condition of its people. That is not happening in Nigeria. The gap between the rich and the poor is too wide.

I am yet to see if they have any political ideology.

Kola Oyelere, Kano
Friday, November 20, 2009

DR. Abubakar Jiddere of the Political Science Department of the Bayero University, Kano, has said that there is no political ideology in the country's politics since the Second Republic, saying most of today’s politicians are pursuing selfish agenda.

He then called on the political elite to legislate for societal transformation as well as provision of basic amenities rather than pursuing goals for their aggrandizement.

Disclosing this on Thursday, in Kano during a one-day sensitisation workshop on Civil/Political Education for the North, organised by Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Inspirational Leadership Forum, held at Centre for Democratic Studies, Mambayya, Dr. Jiderre urged politicians to take the interest of electorate into consideration.

He further observed that only few politicians are credible to be voted into power in Nigeria, stressing that despite this, some governors such as those of Lagos, Kano, Rivers, Bauchi, Jigawa and Anambra states have done their best.

Presenting another paper, Dr. Habu Muhammad said he observed that there was the need to reform the political system, lamenting that none of the 54 political parties in the country could fashion out an ideology.

Dr. Muhammad, whose paper was entitled: “Reforming the Political Environment: A Panacea for Hitch-free Election,’’ stated that lack of ideology gave birth to 46 gubernatorial aspirants for the Anambra State governorship election, pointing out that the highest bidder would surely emerge as candidate.

He, however, noted that political institutions in Nigeria were taking shape, emphasising that the future of Nigeria’s democracy depends on free and fair election, observing further that if Justice Uwais Electoral Reform Committee’s report is adopted, it could take Nigeria to the promised land.

redsun:
Is amaka a she male or what?Her profile use read female,now it reads male with a female picture.I don't get it.

Amaka is a traverstie

Colo-mentality is a deadly medical condition that is responsible for the whole lots of political confusions we are all in' Negative and wrong application of Western civilisation.

What we are now witnessing in the Nigerian polity had been the concern of the  Musical Legend Fela Anikulapo Kuti  - Democracy is Demonstration of Craziness in the Nigerian context. Looking at what is happening today in our political arena, do you agree with him?

Beaf:
Very true. But it is important to note that there can be positive alliances with some of the older guard who have immense leverage in society, but are sympathetic (eg Gen. Akinrinade); though it would be best to approach such guys with a very long spoon.

To dine with the devil, you need a very long spoon indeed,

The power brokers never use the internet. They couldn't be bothered.

kajad man:
some times am left with no choice but to beleive that God had washed his hands off nigeri"s case. If not how can you explain this senerio where leader don even care about the masses all they do is strategize plans of embezling our money 84 billion here, 16 billion there and all what not please i think this country need deliveranceb

The worst thing is that they keep the money in their private rooms

Your money is in safe hands

Ezenwenyi:
When i first came i saw the rehabilitation of a man called Nigeria, Now that i am growing old, all i can see is a wounded Nigeria.Hence i have decided to sell DEMOCRACY to NIGERIA.

This a line gotten from my book, coming soon.

Your book is doomed to fail I'm afraid, you can only sell demonstration of cracy to Nigeria at the moment unless your electoral system is reformed together with the politicians. Period

Beaf:
That is defeatist. There is always a way to do the right thing. Funny, but now is the best time (maybe the only time) to tear down those forces of darkness.

Our psyche had been badly affected by these unimaginable deeds of our leaders sorry looters to the extent that we can no longer think straight.

He was very proud and elated in giving the lecture.
Thank God for internet and Youtube

Advantages of being a Nigerian? Where else can a politician have this in his private room? Reward for good governance

SEFAGO:
haha, yeah that isn't his house- its a park or something. See the guy was trying to impress oyibo. The problem is that if the bayelsa guy was smart he would know that CNN would include bad footages of his state regardless of whatever projects he is doing.

Yep everyone na thief in nigeria, its just that thief surpass thief

BUT SHOULD THIS THIEVING CONTINUE FOREVER?

sjeezy8:
i dont think thats his house - BUT IM SURE HE STEALS MONEY BECAUSE YARADUA AND OTHERS HAVE SAID IT INDIRECTLY.

No Its not his personal house, but the Governor's pad. A wasteful spending of little importance to the people.

Beaf:
Don't mind them jare! They are jealous cos they see me walking arm in arm with the sexiest babe in da house!

In the most recent edition of the economist, he is rated as the most econpomically transparent governor in Nigeria; the only one to bring independent foreign editors in. Don't mind what people say about him, all that was just dirty oil politics from those who should know better.

He has not been so wise on some white elephant projects and developments which are of no benefit to the ordinary man. Check this video below:

The young ones are too busy with yahoo-yahoo business to be concerned with any political ambitions. Leave that for later, they need money to buy their ways into politics

Why are you people so gaullible? Think.

Ibime:
Alex made his money by ripping me and my hombres off back in the late 1990's/early 2000's with his ringtones.

You would order a ringtone for £1. His company will then send you 2 or 3 SMS every week, each of them costing you £1 even if you didnt order any more ringtones.

Back then, you would put £10 credit on your phone, and before you know it, Alex has taken all your money.

I would get so pissed off, I would call the company swearing at the staff for stealing my money.

May thunder fire Alex for all the money he stole from us ignorant kids back in da day!!! 

He is a smart guy and you are a fool. Who is to blame?

Watch this video and see how Nigerians are being brutalised for trying to make ends meet. I would like hear people like Walakolobo who are always anti Diasporians,  what they have to say about this. They think Nigerians abroad are having it so good that they hate their home country Nigeria.

I think you should be more concerned with the look of our own President. Why Obama?
