Nigerians and their poor sense of history! Do you folks here shouting sai buhari really believe elections are won in Nigeria based on some opinion polls and online popularity of candidates? If you believe so, then I'm sorry for you because you have failed to understand how elections are conducted here. In 2007, Nigerians were really tired of PDP govt. Led by obasanjo because of massive corruption and plundering of our national treasures. People were ready and determined (just as now to vote out pdp) But what happened after the election? The same "evil" pdp won the election. Do you know why? It is just because it is difficult to oust an incumbent govt that virtually controls all the state resources and institutions of power. With massive resources at their care, it becomes almost impossible to defeat them. One of the reasons it is difficult to beat an incumbent in Nigeria is because of the electoral law. The Nigeria electoral law is a sham. It was purposely drafted to perpetuate the ruling party in power. And until the provisions that make the sitting president to contest while still in power is expunged, elections in Nigeria (especially at the presidential level) will remain a mere formality. The party in power will always win it! Don't be deceived with the noise you are hearing among the opposition parties, they will not win the election. They will as usual ask you to defend your vote after voting, but how will you defend the votes in your area which is probably in an urban setting, what of the millions of votes in those remote areas where poverty is the second name of the inhabitants? That is where the real action takes place. In those places, people sell their votes for as low as 200 to 500 naira as the case maybe. Now this is where the manipulations take place. Some opposition party agents even partake in these manipulations because they have been settled "handsomely by the ruling party who always has an endless resources to perpetuate this subversion. So to all of you who are having wet dreams about a mere opinion poll or online popularity of some candidates, I say to you, "you are building your castles in the air. If you believe that PDP will handover power to APC or any other opposition party come may 29, 2015, then you can believe anything!

So what's your point? That everyone should not say they will vote for the opposition or bother voting for them because the incumbent will win already?

.

Can't they allow them to stay on humanitarian and compassionate ground .......l thought there was a provision in the asylum law that allows such to scale through if an asylum seeker is refused....

What is "humanitarian" here? Nigerians better start getting used to the mess they've made of their country and stop running to other people's countries. Besides citing Boko Haram and kidnapping doesn't wash. These people think oyinbos are babies.

aguiyi:
Hehehehehejeheh. Them been don think say them don get the last laugh

in that same 1961 he wrote hausa language and earned credit in it,a subject that was introduced into the curriculum in 1974 when the 6-3-3-4 educational system commenced.

shehu musa yaradua joined the army in 1959 but wrote wasc with buhari in 1961, did he also join the army with a recommendation letter?

6-3-3-4 was introduced in 1974?

lalasticlala:
My thought as well

Make them torture d man ooooo.

D truth may surface..

Person get mind bring another man inside her matrimonial home to knack, and she no get d mind to face d consequences of her actions.. ?

I think d husband may b a smooth talker..

And your solution? Torture him! We have a long way to go.

gists:
Are these the sophisticated weapons that Nigerian army cannot match?

My thoughts exactly. Whenever I hear the police say armed robbers had more sophisticated weapons and now soldiers saying Boko Haram have more sophisticated weapons I always wonder if we aren't talking AK-47.

“The Lord took me in the spirit to the seat of power in Aso Rock and showed me a bold inscription on the Presidential seat with a heavenly seal on it ‘No vacancy here’. Thus said the Lord to President Jonathan: “I appointed you for another period of five years to lead Nigeria to greatness”. Within these five years which symbolizes grace, no weapon fashioned against you shall prosper.”
@bolded
So Jona will get another five years. Interesting.

atlwireles:
Thanks for putting that alarmist in her place. The likes of OBY have done more damage to Nigeria in the fight against terrorism than boko haram.

This makes no sense. I agree Olukolade didn't intend to insult her with his first response but raising the alarm once you have information that Nigerians are being murdered is not alarmist. It's the right thing to do.

KGBEAST:
I can't believe no one has noticed that this is just useless Russian propaganda, painting Russia as the victim and Vladimir Putin as a hero who stood up against the west, Smh.
And btw why are Nigerians so quick to believe b.s without reasoning just because it appears online, who remembers the rubbish rumors about Obama healthcare bill demanding that people insert a microchip into their hand or their forehead and how Nigerians where quick to label Obama as the antichrist even though it wasn't true ? Trust me this article is just as dümb and untrue.

You know, I didn't know The Sun had degenerated this much. I read that paper a bit in its early days.

akinsadeez:
The man might not necessarily be poor. There are some lawyers who have money but all in a bid to show that they are elders at the bar and have spent many years as lawyers wear old wigs and faded gowns to court despite being rich enough to buy replacements. Many old lawyers hate wearing new wigs. Some judges also equate shiny new wigs to mean the lawyer has recently or just been called to the bar. In fact in legal parlance new lawyers are actually known by the term 'new wigs'. Maybe the man is one of those who love to show their seniority by any means possible.

They should do away with the damn thing already.

protegesol:
Does anything like child support exist in Nigeria?

In Lagos State, yes. But law enforcement isn't anyone's strong point in Nigeria's.

MitchDLeo:
I GUESS NO ONE LIKED YOUR POST FOR SOME CERTAIN REASONS.

So it was you. Well, not bad for you. Anyway, you don't interest me. . . for some certain reasons.

WhiteTechnology:
Yawns


Move to more interesting threads.

To spew your er... interesting ideas to revolutionise railways and arms production in Nigeria. Safe journey.

WhiteTechnology:
You mentioned Igbo and Yoruba

Not me

So I'm supposed to spell out how you small-minded bigot brought "tribe" into this the same way you did when you made your nonsensical argument about universities producing arms. He he.

WhiteTechnology:
I have made my point

I will keep counseling SW on the true path.


SW RONU

It's about the SW now, not FG handing railways to LGs. Keep counselling them, you hear? In fact, you are too much.

WhiteTechnology:
Well you are not worth a fight

Aurevoir

Well, it was great watching you twist and twerk on your own - as you rapidly morphed from FG should leave the railways for LGs and others to LGs should build trams to FG should build railways while LGs and others compliment [sic]. It recalls your transition from production to development and then offering lectures on the difference - when I hadn't mounted any argument against your funny ideas.

Anyway, some free tips: stop seeing the world in terms of us (Igbo) and them (Yoruba); whenever you get a brain wave, stop and consider its practicability before presenting it to the world; stop taking yourself too seriously - everything isn't a fight and it's okay to admit the error in one's argument sometimes.

WhiteTechnology:
As I said you are an OLODO

Development is not production

Development = Design Fabrication and Testing


Concerning Rail service

If your amala brain could comprehend

You will know that since LGAs can build roads they can also be encouraged to build light rails for light trains= tram

Please watch the documentary


The men who built America

It will expose you to rich guys like Vanderbilt who built thousands of km of railways

So as FG is building , States LGAS and Private Sector will be complimenting

Finally


Keep your amala one side and learn again

Lol. Didn't I say your ideas were interesting? But you're getting excited and doing insults because you think it makes you smart. See, someone even liked your yeye post. They think your tiny-minded ethnocentrism is quaint and that your ideas of using universities to produce, no, develop weapons and asking FG to quit railways for others like LGs, no FG building while the others compliment [sic] are sparks of genius.

WhiteTechnology:
Olodo

Weapons development is different from Weapons production


Amala brain

Watch the documentary

The men who built America

You will realise that most railways were built by rich Americans

So nothing is wrong if LGAs build light rails to connect each community


Finally

Be open minded and learn new things


Life goes beyond Amala

Lol. Involve universities in arms production, no, devlopment; FG should leave railways for others like LGs. You're a hoot, I swear!

WhiteTechnology:
Instead of you to ask the National Assembly to make laws that put the development of Railways in the hands of FG LGAs and Private Sector, your myopic mind keeps expecting change from an all powerful FG

Lol. This guy, ehn! So after flying the kite of universities abi higher institutions should be producing arms you now want LGs to go into railways. Interesting.

hausadreturn:
i thought it was a viper (though it usually doesnt have such a size)but i doubt it's a python (they've never been that short...unless it's been cut to half)

There are two python species in Nigeria - the rock python (large, long and rare) and the royal python (common ande small, same size as viper)

ken2020:
my life is just in a big mess right now and I just can't find a reason to continue living. After my Nysc , life was so miserable for me due to my jobless state. Out of the love my parents have for me , they sacrificed all their life savings to help me start a business, they believed so much in me that was why they sacrificed all their savings despite the fact that I still have sibbling who also need money. They were hoping that I will be successful in the business and so help my younger ones. I just can't believe that am bankrupt in just 6 months of starting my business. since I started my business it has always been from one misfortune to the other. finally i got duped by some fraudsters who I believe used some charms on me to collect everything I have , they made me sell my shop and all my few properties. Before I could come back to my senses, they were no were to be found. I deeply depressed , right now, am homeless but the worst part is that my family is not, aware of this situation. They still think am doing fine in business and I just can't face them when I go home this Xmas. I have been thinking of a way out of this situation but still, I can't come up with anything, I have offered my kidney for sale butup till now no buyer has indicated his /her interest. Right now am in serious debt and my debtors are just on my neck everyday..The shame is just too much for me to bear. I have already made up my mind to commit suicide if I don't get a buyer for my kidney before the 27th of December. I just pray my parents will find a place in dia heart to forgive me.

I'm sorry. I really am.

I too have considered suicide - long story. You have to face up to it. Tell your parents - they are your parents and they will let it go. Then think deeply about how to start again. I suggest learning a skill/trade and taking it from there.

Kripke, I'll like to recommend a book for you. It's titled Cares that Infest, by Cecil A. Poole.

Crocz:
That picture is not inside a train...certainly not inside the one to operate from PH - Enugu


"The trains they show us looks like those Japanese super fast trains but in reality, they look like those operating between Mumbai and Pakistan in the 60's


Don't be deceived...you enter them, you'd think you already travelling to hell

Lol. Some pipo get bad mouth sha!

shadowgwalker:
this op for just talk 'security agents ' since he can't classify and know that it's not all in camouflage that are soldiers.

hmm! civil defense dey gather mind to snap oh!

Most of the guys there look like airmen and "soldier" is a general term for all military people.

chukwudi44:
On three previous occasions 2003,2007 and 2011 Buhari contested for the presidency of these country and was rejected by the southern electorates including our SW brothers. Most noteworthy was the number of votes he got in 2003 in the sw when he contested against obasanjo. My question now is why did the sw people reject Buhari in 2003 when the had the very opportunity of 'ending' corruption in 2003?If they know Buhari had all the qualities they now ascribe to him why then did they reject him for a corruption personified obasanjo?

Buhari is not particularly "electable" - given a choice. I blame the APC for fielding him. But since the outcome of the continuation of Jonathan can be foreseen and it is not good, many have decided to vote Buhari in the hope he can at least halt the wastefulness and unbridled looting going on.

onegig:
You lot amaze me with your daily stupidity.

Tell me how you intend to police the Internet. You seem not to understand the magnitude and difference between 1980 and 2014.

Even the US or RUSSIA with their advanced technology cannot censor people from speaking their minds let alone GEJ or your clueless DSS that claims it recovered an "Apple laptop without a CPU".

Also, all men where born free. Gej may hold your own personal freedom but not the rest of Nigerians. He never had it and can't give what he doesn't have.


So quit it and run along.

They said this? Well, I gave up on Ekpenyong and Rosemary Ogar long ago.

mikeansy:
It is an evidence of the freedom of speech we enjoy under GEJ

Do some research on what Buhari did to those who criticised his Government when he was head of state

Don't think the freedom we enjoy is by default because we have democracy. Its not. There is democracy in Russia and Zimbabwe but if you insult the Presidents of this country you will surely hear from someone

I think we are taking our freedom for granted.

Scare mongering, I'm afraid. Jonathan is not the guarantor of Nigerians' freedom!

Russia has a culture of Tsar worship. Zimbabwe has never had freedom - from Ian Smith to Mugabe. Nigeria, on the other hand, has had a culture of free speech since independence. Even before independence we always had a vocal press. We even had more freedom of speech under Abacha than they have in Russia and Zimbabwe. The Buhari era was just an interregnum which he dare not and cannot repeat under democracy. Besides, times have changed.

MadCow1:
That's why I love Elizabeth proust.. She will never re-employ that chalatan.

Pengassan leadership has lost its mind. They can strike for 100 years if they like. They are holding the nation to ransome because of that cretin. Sadly, Mrs Proust does not negotiate with terrorists. She has a right to fire any worker that contravenes company rules and policy. Let Pengassan keep embarrassing themselves. We all know this is all in a bid to frustrate jonathan.

I guess they will also blame Total for the PIB that has not been passed cos that was one of their demands.

But wetin the Ogbonna guy do? What company policies did he contravene?

How that Hakani take get a whole Daradoll?

Janeify:
lol...this one wey you dey beg,hope all is well

The word "please" comes from polite society. Now, come here and receive it!

Janeify:
yeah,it's true.I'm not a male.


Do you think i teach for free
I'm not working in WHO,Pay me jhoor

He can't pay. Let me help him pay you please.

I can honestly say I have never used a toy.
But I couldn't imagine comparing it to
a girl . Sorry I'm all for the touch and feel
of a real girl not a toy,Nothing beats the weight and warmth of a
Girl's body on top of yours.
The heat that is radiated from both bodies
is so sexy and so sensual.

The advanced ones generate some heat. They even moan when you touch them in certain ways.
