EFCC go soon stat dem own drama now.

No. it won't. Remember Atiku is not a yoruba man like Bode George.

RichyBlacK:

I don't see much hope for Nigeria.

1. Nigeria has a problem.
2. Northern politicians do not want Jonathan (a southerner) to become acting president because it will "eat into their time" as president, based on the mumurish "rotational presidency" nonsense.
3. An Igbo daughter submits a memo that upholds the Nigerian constitution and calls on the dysfunctional FEC to act and make Goodluck Jonathan "Acting President"
4. Yoruba ethnic bigots like tpia and SEFAGO want her to resign!

This drama is the main reason I see no hope for Nigeria. When an Igbo woman proffers a solution, the very loud Yoruba tribalists will want to shut her down. Tomorrow, a Yoruba man will offer a solution to another problem, . . . you know the rest of the story.

Nigeria is a joke!

I think you are being really harsh ! Just because tpia and SEFAGO have different views on Akunyili’s action doesn’t warrant you calling them Yoruba ethnic bigots. You are way out of line.

It can very difficult atimes serving under a President in a democratic setting. There are lots of policies/actions that are going to be undertaken by the govt that a minister (for instance) would not agree with, but you as a minister cannot go out in public to criticize the policy. You either have to stand by the President or resign.

The problem with Akunyili is that she is serving in Yar’adua’s govt, so she cannot ask him to step down. She can offer advise in this regard, but writing a memo and asking him to step down while still serving under the President is wrong in my opinion. She has breached protocol.

Moderator, please move this to Foreign Affairs. Thanks.

If this was coming from Turai, then I'll be more optimistic. I don't know about this Abba Aji fella.
Has he spoken to the President ? Has he been assured by the Northern cabal ?

Abeg, Let's just wait and see.

Why didn't the minister address the gas supply issue then ? It is an open secret that gas supply
to the power stations is a major stumbling block in power generation in Nigeria.

He had the entire 2009 to address it - so what is his excuse ?

I know that the man has an enormous task at hand, but for him to blame the govt's
inability to attain 6,000 MW on lack of gas is pitiful because this is an open secret
and the man had the entire 2009 to address this.

SEFAGO:

If she is trying to make a statement she should resign and stop getting the great benefits of political office. All this one na show

bravo ! I couldn't agree with you more.

How can you ask the man to step down and continue to serve in his government ?

her decision to write this memo was not well thought out at all.

I think it is up to parents to teach their culture to their children. Those marrying inter-culturally must agree
before hand on passing on their cultures to their children.

As far as marrying other races, I think people should marry whomever they fall in love with regardless of race. As long
as the two adults share similar taste and values and the marriage is really based on love.

Besides, many beautiful children of the world are of mixed races e.g. Barak Obama, Haile Berry etc.

Na waa ooh. Someone is in love

Where is the aisha lady seff ?

No doubt. I was thinking about it. We need an IBB or something to invest in that. I think this would cost more than 100 billion dollars so who is willing to put funds together? When would you break even?
I think its hard to privately invest in power.

you are right, it is going to cost more than 100 billion dollars. but if the environment is right, investors will come.

and our environment is more than right. my brother, do you know how much money one stands to make in the power sector ? The demand for power is so huge. the telecoms are making billions of naira every month and this pales to the demand for electricity.

we need more than one investor, no one is going to come up with $100 billion all by themself.

The problem we have now is that, there is still govt intervention with the privitization scheme being put in place. The govt will be transmitting the power generated by the private firms under the proposed scheme.

This makes it less attractive - the power generators are not directly dealing with the final consumers as is the case with the telecoms.

Listen, we need private funds to help build the power sector. The reason gsm is successful is because it is private
sector driven. MTN, GLO, ZAIN etc came in with their funds, built their lines and pay their taxes.

There is no way PHCN can provide 24 hour uninterrupted power supply
as presently constituted. The power sector needs to be fully privitized
for us to reach the promise land.

As someone said on another thread, complete power privitization would overwhelmingly
favour Southern Nigeria because it is the backbone of commerce and industry in Nigeria.

you must be in the toilet taking a shet.

ROFL. i think so too

All you need is a third grade education (primary 3) to know yar'adua favours the north in his appointments.
kudos to abubakar umar.

@poster, you need to reword your thread to some Nigerians, not Nigerians. You did go to school, didn't you ?

Who exactly stole the funds being expatriated ? We need more detail from the brits.

Good will bless Gov Jang, Berom and Anga people for teaching Dirty Stinking Hausa/Fulanis that language they understood.
Look at Dirty Stinking Hausa/Fulani opening their Gworo mouth saying, Christain indigenous owners of Jos committed genocide against them, I just dey laugh.
Those Goats should listen, Berom people didn't kill any Human being, rather they killed unwanted Goats.

this guy sef na waa. What did hausa people do to you ?

only in Nigeria

Nice pictures, but emeka, this thread belongs in the travel section not politics

shesi:

Egypt is nobody. Our kids did very well. They can hold their heads up high. Pound for pound, arabs are no match for africans when it comes to football. And our kids have shown that today.

I have to agree with you on that one.

I think you'll have better luck with responses if you post this thread in the Education board.
