If Obama does not win, the USA will continue on its downward spiral from greatness.
Did you know that their are more terrorist post-Bush then their were before he stepped into office?
The US should continue looking for "weapons of mass destruction" lol they will see their world seat of power dissapear before them

And they just went to Israel and declared independence, How long have the Palestinians existed in Israel? Ask you self that before some nonsense declaration by UN

Well done Samuel Peter, You have made us proud!!! And kudos for mention the Presido!!!

The question was not the transparency of XYZ's wealth, but rather is Dangote richer than X, Y, Z

@ Kobo

I am merely stating facts.
You said that Dangote has been known for a couple of years now you have reverted to saying he has been in the game since the 70's.
Secondly you should not that the more LEGIT Billionaires there are in Nigeria the better the economy is. As you may have noticed over 250 of the names on that list come from the united sates. Do you know how many jobs this great men and women have created in the united states? It would be irrational to think that LEGIT billionaires are not good for the economy. Dangote has created many jobs in Nigeria, good jobs that pay well. Now unfortunately in this capitalist world that we live billionaires are part of the equation if we to actually help in the distribution. It has to be someones business to employ. There is no 23 year old billionaire in Nigeria, millionaires yes, unless we are talking about Naira than okay. But of course I do sympathise with what you are saying regarding poverty in Nigeria, it is an immense problem. Maybe 20,000 billionaires would be able to fix without a shadow of a doubt

Haba richer than Babangida, sourly doubt that

Im on the side of Palestine because I hate "unpartizan UN", acting partially.
Up to now I am still mystified at the way Israel was succeeded back to the Jews, just as I am with Kosovo back to the Albanians.

Rail, Ship, Sea that is what Nigeria needs to work on. If they can have a system that combines these modes of logistical transport all will be well.
But when the roads are bad, railway does not exist, and SEA is cluttered by corrupt customs officials than what.
The Chinese were supposed to help build the Railway system ions ago, well we still wait

Kobojunkie:
I thought your other post meant Nigerian sports pros are being paid millions. I don't know much about the Other dangote man but I would like to understand how someone can live and do business in Nigeria and own that much money. Where does he live?? What is his record?? I mean how did he get to 3.3 billion in a country like Nigeria?? People like Babangida and the other thieves have tried for years to do this but they did not make it and lo and behold, a man who was only a couple of years ago, a potential unknown in the Nigeria NAME circle, did it.

1. Dangote was not an unkown a couple years ago
2. Babangida is probably the richest man in Africa(easily worth 5 billion USD) but Forbes does not rate thieves
3. And Dangote got to that position with brute entrepreneurial abilities
4. Dangote owns many monopolies/oligopolies maybe you should familiarize yourself with them

diplomat, huge sums of money = corruption

well done oh paddy_lo, I was looking at this today.
I know the undersetimated this guys net worth

It's going to come down to super-delegates and as it stands Clinton is the lead,

What is the efficiency rates of these new solar panels?

It's so sad, Africans have converted to foreign religions with such ease.
The Arab came to Africa and converted some of us to Islam.
The white man came converted some to Christianity.
Thats why I respect the Indian man, he kept his so called primative religion with a million Gods.
Africans suffer from one of the worst cultural affirmations. Sad real sad.

Hmmm, stay away from doing crime period!!!

ye with little faith

na wa oh, 30% of people said only Christians are destined for the pearly gates.

<================================are you talking to urself bro?

Themes of violence and drug abuse is not something that Africans can relate to, its a foreign thing. Whoever wrote this script is just trying to makes us yanki people and probably has not been around many Africans before.

Themes of violence and drug abuse is something that everyone can relate to.
Violence in Africa is an epidemic. as for drugs they dey there too, alcohol no be drug to you?

First and foremost Putin gets the nod as Greatet Politician f 2007
Who ever is asking for certain policies that he mandated can google them-up
It would be ubsurd to call the growth of the Russian (currently G8) economy a mere correlation.
Perestroika was supposed to bring an end to the Russian economic problem back in the 80's. this half-way reform did not work. In comes Yeltsin who frees up key commanding heights to oliglarcs, but it ws Putin who further led the transformation by making the poorer classes benafcators.
Like debosky mentioned Russia is Russian owned and this makes the westernworld envious. A country with the largest Nickel deposists and many other Natural resources. Kinda remind you of somewhere?
But leadership is precisely what has catapulted this nation to economic prowess.

By the by Russia has been a federal republic since 1991, when it was denounced by Yeltsin himself

This idea sucks badly, It will only lead to animosity.
Furthermore the Yoruba language has its own dialects initself, We claim official English status, let us embrace that fully!

Religion is business, do you guys find this as miraculous news?
