Good man

It cannot be measured just in monetary terms.

Women are from another planet entirely

SeanT21:
If he face trial then almost all african presidents should face trial.

If he face trial, then congress should follow him.

plus, who is gonna put him on trial.

then UN? the last time i check the UN was based in NYC and America hardly listen to them.

How many of those African leaders, save for a few who have already faced tribunals, have sanctioned as many deaths as George Bush did?

Did parliaments in other countries face trial when their bad leaders did?

I'm also hopeful that George Bush will be tried some day. . . even post humously.

He is an absolute slowpoke who has wrought havoc and destruction on the fabrics that the world should exist peacefully upon

deor03:
Does he have the work permit or the right visa to work in Nigeria?

Why is KAI not arresting this guy; street trading is a crime in Lagos?

Is this guy not using gala sale ; as a cover-up for some other espionage?

It amazes me, what usually get us amused; when people are supposed to be asking deep questions? Many hundreds of years ago, our fore fathers were amazed when they saw the white man had their fingers burnt.

It's rather funny that till date we are still doing the-same things all over again.


I suggest you read Confessions of an Economic Hit Man by John Perkins (2004), and understand that that guy on the street of Ojota is doing a very different job, not gala sale

God bless.

We have problems with our thinking faculties.

I bet the guy goes back to write some stinkers about ALL of us, and make the rest of the world despise us some more, while we are celebrating him.

I wont blame the guy for doing so. It's all down to the perception we have created in the minds of people for ourselves. I may also hesitate to give a Nigerian my credit card details in a call centre, knowing that there are quite a lot of Nigerians in the UK who are unashamedly into these credit card things.

Its up to us to start shopping the idiots among us who make the world laugh us to scorn.

JJYOU:
u are definately working your way into becoming a mullah. i tot you said you live in the UK? can u tell us when you last saw election being rigged in the UK.

u are too inteligent for what you buy into sometimes. if i say go and live in iran now mukina una wife will start getting hyper again

I'm not sure anyone has seen elections rigged in Iran at the moment either.

Losers can demonstrate if they feel they have crdible support for their demonstrations. It doesn't mean that they won the elections.

tunku:
This author's impartiality is doubtful. Seriously the Iranian-Owned Presstv is the pravda of that country. If that is your evidence please take it back to the dustbin where it belongs.

And you have more authoritative evidence?

You are Karid in a wikedest way by bacchus.

You can count on the fact election was fair

There are grounds for being surprised at the result of the Iranian election.

Even grounds for being disappointed.

But there are absolutely no grounds for the cats' chorus of criticism and allegations now emanating from some quarters after the cookie crumbled the wrong way.

I have been more closely interested than normal in this poll.

I present two weekly shows for Iranian-owned Press TV.

As such, I know that, uniquely for a developing country, the Iranian broadcast media went to extraordinary lengths to be fair to all four presidential candidates.

More than 85 per cent of the electors turned out to vote - compared with 35 per cent in our own elections recently. That's nearly 40million Xs on ballot papers.

This massive exercise took place without trouble of any kind - the polling stations were kept open longer than required to facilitate the huge lines of people outside.
Indeed, that's one of the reasons I discount the opposition complaints.

When a candidate is reduced to protesting that too MANY people were allowed to vote, you know he's in trouble.

The counting, too, was awesome. And, by the way, there were observers from all four camps present throughout these stages.

Although the western media largely did the usual thing - not straying far from their five-star hotels, talking to those who would happily talk to them and especially if they spoke English - it's clear they mistook the plusher parts of the capital for the country at large. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad commands the loyalty of the poor, the working class and the rural voters whose development he has championed.

He lives like them, looks like them - he's never worn a suit since becoming president - and there's more of them than the English speaking more liberal elites now on the streets demonstrating.

It will soon fizzle out.

This election almost mirrors the class composition of the recent polls in Venezuela. President Hugo Chavez has exactly the same friends in his country. And the same enemies.

I've said many times that Ahmadinejad's comments about the Holocaust are a disgrace. His rhetoric can be ugly and he does not play well in Peoria, the mid-west weather vane here in the US where I am at present.

But he is the president of an important country and we'll just have to accept it.

http://blogs.dailyrecord.co.uk/georgegalloway/2009/06/you-can-count-on-the-fact-elec.html

Nigerians are supposedly noted for their ability to think very deep and consider things rationally, more often than not.

The fact that the BBC and CNN stay in the cities to interview English speaking Iranians does not mean that they understand the Iranian population and demographic. Most of the rural dwellers voted Ahmedinejadd and the rural population far outstrips the city dwelling western-educated people that the western media would like to project as the average Iranians.

Why do we need to castigate anyone on the strength of western media reports? whose interests do we really think they protect and project?

EloSela:
The BNP are inconsequential. So what they won a couple of seats? Nick Griffin was still pelted by rotten eggs when he tried to hold a conference outside the house of Parliament on Tuesday by the majority white crowd. And the next day he was hiding out for dear life in Manchester after an angry mob with more rotten eggs waited for him to give another talk. Lol

The racist bigots of Britain are a minority and not worth discussing.

The fact that some people pelted him with eggs and attacked him still does not remove the fact that he won votes. You think no one voted for him?

Do you know why every election comes with immigration discussions? Go and find out if you have ever been close to any British politician. They might be able to tell you that many ordinary white people that they meet on the doorsteps complain about immigrants.

EloSela:
How do you know that they are a naturalized citizen?

if, after reading his statement, you are unable to realise that that is a statement of a naturalised man, then what can I say?

Do these people never get ashamed after stealing so much money?

tpiah:
wetin concern Nigeria with this matter? No be Britain BNP dey?

At the very least I'd think you'd be trying to see how you can move to some other developed country should the worst happen.

na wa- this is why many Nigerians are neither here nor there. Total lack of focus.

You are wrong my dear.

the reason many of uis are neither here nor there is because we never realise when we are walking into pits. Its the same reason Nigeria is the way it is today - ignoring everything that does not seem to have an immediate impact on your current state.

hackney:
At least they cant deport some of us.
For now I'd rather cope with BNP than be in that dump called NIGERIA.
They wont kidnap me,or cut my light and water,my car wont fall into a gully and nobody will shoot me for a few naira.

SO FU .CK OFF!!

Whoever told you that your naturalised citizenship cannot be withdrawn from you?

Ilelobola:
People should not be quick to disregard them. They might be taking advantage of the current economic/political and whatever climate but the fact remains people voted for them.

I think ethnic minorities should get off their back sides and VOTE even if you think the mainstream parties are all the same; just VOTE for a party other than the BNP!. They won one of their seats by 1200 votes, if enough ethnic minorities had voted, they probably wouldn't have won that one at least. I canvassed for several friends and colleagues to go out to vote unfortunately not 1 of them actually did.

Whilst I pray that my family would have relocated to Nigeria and that Nigeria would be a country to reckon with by the time my children are adults I still say, if you don't do it for you, do it for your children, it was the same way that the Nazi's got into power simply because they weren't taken seriously in the beginning.

God bless you.

It seems some people dont know what they think they know. You think BNP just got there without votes? Just hang on and wait till certain things start manifesting while our brothers are too involved in other things to care to vote.

Many here seem to be saying they dont care if BNP wins elections. Just wait till they start gaining seats. . . one of our main problems seems to be our inability to think about long term consequences. Too many of us are short-sighted.

Most of the people who work in that passport office will still have the guts to accuse others of corruption.

As I have said time and again, the problem with Nigeria is the Nigerians!

blissieng:
come o! come back here. . . edit that post and include my name in that list!!!

Abeg tell me which bank dem dey take that list collect money

elisabet51:
Thanks guys for ur support. Yes the business is in my name and he is using it. I have all the papers to prove it. He got out of jail at the EFCC because he bribed an officer. Please understand I have to do something otherwise ill be on the street.

Madam, I dont understand you. If the business is in your name, surely you can claim it and its proceeds legally. This should not be a problem especially since you are an oyinbo woman - you will get enough assistance from all those who matter in Nigeria.

I hope you are not just on a vendetta as a result of your bitterness

Women who go around fighting for those things dont know how much hurt they cause themselves just because they want a few pounds a week. . . mostly it is because they want to get back at the man, not necessarily in the interest of the child.

What's the point in dragging your life backwards in order to get at someone else?

chaircover:
If you can afford to, forget about child support and look after your kid especially as all you both do is argue each time you speak on the phone which cant be too healthy for your child.

There a lot of single mothers out there just getting on with things with or without financial help from the biological father.

There is no child support in Nigeria and single mothers do everything they can to fend for their children.

You will be killing 2 birds with one stone; firstly teaching your child the importance of work and also you are freeing yourself from this man who so very obviously has moved on with his life with a new family.

All seems unfair but you dont need added stresses in your life and if asking him for school shoe & uniform money is too much hassle then just rise above it and tell him to take a walk with his money.

Yet some people try to disparage Nigerian women.

JJYOU:
coming from the people that gave us gordon ramsay and the other fornicating bullies. yes rant on indeed.

abi o, my brother.

I tire for all these connections with Nigeria. Anything negative has to have Nigerian connections in their minds because they know that some Nigerians will accept anything.

ElRazur:
Oga, he had no right being there in the first place. If a proper doctor was there, they would have treated the patient. If he is so right like you are claiming, how come one of the issues highlighted in the court case was his refusal to treat the patient I rest my case.

He had every right to refuse to attend to something which did not fall within his remit. No one in the world can do anything to him for that. The only reason that is being highlighted is to put an inhuman face to him so that people will feel disgusted. If he had attended to that patient and something had gone wrong, God help him if the patient and his family dont sue him for everything his family is worth and also start a campaign against every foreign doctor in the land.

ElRazur:
Did you missed the part that mentioned he used fake papers? Why do people keep missing this? The burns case is just one of the many reasons he is wanted. From what we can gather so far:

He is wanted for using fake papers. He is wanted for jumping bail. He also appear to have issues with GMC as to what look like a neglect of duty. Then there is the little issue of him having an ongoing case initially.

For the record, what non-sense exactly was mentioned on crime watch?

Brother, the burns issue is not a case and he cannot be wanted for the burns issue. The burns issue is just a human angle that is being introduced to whip up people's emotions. These are things that happen many times with the media when they are reporting stuff.

Although I did not see crimewatch - I dont really watch it - but I have read a few things about the case and the case against the guy is that he used forged/fake papers to get himself registered in the country.

One of the problems with this subject, from my observation, is that too many women cry rape after consenting to the act. Sometimes because they regret having had sex with the guy or for other funny reason. This makes it difficult to know who consented and who did not.

In Scotland, the new law says that you MUST ask permission from the girl before you have sex. So, everyone is Scotland is now more robotic than they were. . . not that they were anything else but drunken robots at best anyway.

So if a girl has sex with a guy, she can later say she was raped because the guy did not ask her consent before the act commenced. That is ridiculuous and it is one of the reasons I have problems accepting some of these rape things.

I imagine myself asking if we can have sex before we have sex, perhaps after a lot of pre-intimacy and we are both ready: you then have to say - please can we have sex? I will lose all interest at that point.

just a question. . .

if you married a British man who acted exactly like that, would you ask if it was a British thing?

LadyT:
Justgood toast ko sandwich ni!

You meanie! You want me to be the next mumu to bite the dust abi?

You cant bite dust. . . you are too smart to fall to that level.

Besides, if you bite dust on my account, it's all good
