Federal govt or no federal govt intervension , I'll just continue to quote these  Yoruba adages that says "O o ni ara re o lo ni eyan" and  Ajoji owo kan o gbe'ru d'ori. The first translated thus You don't have yourself and you are saying you have people" meaning in this context Fed govt or no Fed govt individual states will have to look inward , think communially be able not to feed themselves through self and meaningfull development to themselves and region. rather than thinking of somebody from the centre to come and take you to greatness. If you have it in you you can call the shots. Ask Lagos state govt.
Second one translates that there is no strage one hand that can lift a load, that is where you need cooperation fro the outside to help you in your weakness to be able to reacjh their. However, your own hand is their too tilt and allign the load on your head not just handsout. This will make you humble enough to know that you are not entirely self sufficient  and will at some point in your quest requires outsiders inputs  and not expecting them to Jump start you but realise that you must make self efforts, believe in yourself.

So my aversion to reliance solely on fed govt for development.
I am ashamed of all tribal chavunists here on NL. There is nothing wrong in promoting your culture tribe and heritage but you've got no right whatsoever to degrade , insult and degrade others.

Majority of Docs and nurses especially the former are in for the Job not because of real love for the Job but because of money and the pride  ( at least they are better paid than most civil servants) and their entry point is out of this world ( Imagine ) at the present rate, It will take graduates of other degreees employed at the same time with these doctors 8 years! to get to their entry point . Even a lab scientist or pharmacist who spent just a year less than the number of years spent by d Doctors to get their degrees will have to spend 5 years on the Job before he can get to their own entry point Not to now talk of the the Bogus allowances and royalty accorded them in their emolment and condition of service. Thus making it lucrative.

Look at all the previous strikes by the doctors especially the younger ones and you 'll see that it is bacically 90 % about their pay rise and 10% better equipments for improved services.
When you see 2 young doctors talking about a new employment by either of the two,the first thing will be asked is ' how are you being payed and not how's  the Job and  thing that makes them look confident is actually how much they earn, the moment some one of other profession seem to look better than them,, they "loose it". This is the reason why they  fight only for themselves for increment of pay leaving out all other health workers who sin qua non they cannot function , Besides no doctor is thought how to manage an hospital in their training but what do you see, they are the head of all hospitals and health ministries and thus the sorry state of our health sector. I said ones that rather than increase pay adn emoluments fantastically even from intern level as being done now ,why not spread on more heads so that you'll have more people employed thereby reducing the work burden and giving more doctors a life( a large majority in private hospitals are either under payed and some are even jobless!) . but no, selfish , proud and insensitive they remain to their own plights too.  
Thirdly most Docs in luth are the sions and daughters of existing big bpys in the profession , so they feel immuned to any anything/anybody and believe they can behave as they like.

good policy but must evrything be like a decree, create awareness and make people appreciate the issues. However, how many businesses rely on banks confirmation after cheque presentation. So there's nothing like emergency orders .supermarkets are in trouble and will be forced to acquire pos. But what happens to those mallams and business men who makes our eyes pop and keep us 1hour plus in the bulk deposit section at the banks ?. Businees go chage be that. Abi?

Without intervensions of a poitical leader, Christianity wouldn't have spread tou most of us here on NL. Infact it was criminal at a time to profess christianity for 300 years or there about after the ascension of christ. there's nothing wrong in any christian being in politics I am not a pentecostal, however, Pastors chris okotie and Tunde Bakare represents what is expected of well meaning , respected,upright ,people with Integrity in this country Both Christians, Moslems and practitioners of all other religion alike not to regard and sustain the notion that "politics is a dirty game and it's meant only for dirty people.
We need people described as such above to be in government through politics ( not for religious reasons though) in this country and they've so far been bold enough and I salute their courage. Even if they don't win, they've represents something and it is that I believe is meant when Okotie said He shall become the president of thiss country. think. Save for pastor okotie, he did not state that He was heard from God.

Is it not instructive to note that It was thesame Bakare that CHAMPION THE DEMONSTRATIONS THAT HELPED JONATHAN TO BE PRESIDENT OF THIS COUNTRY, during the campaign then for GEJ to be pronounced the president then by the Senate, he was not branded by Most NLders as a fake prophet or pastor , we are now quick to Judge and start Irresponsible name calling. We quickly forget


I am ashamed of the kind of comment some of us resorted to in the name of access to computer. Some of our comment shows that we are just pretentious and deeep inside us we are not different from the perpetrators of the carnage in the north, if we could say that Bakare's house deserves to be burnt so that he would have a taste of what happened to people up north!!!. IT IS ABSOLUTELY ABSURDFOR ANY ONE TO THINK THAT HE ENDORSES AND OR ENCOURAGES THE POST ELECTORAL VIOLENCE. some of us need to retrace our steps and retract our statements and pray in which ever way to our Gods for forgiveness. Do not think expressing dust,wickedness, misjudgement and wrong condemnations on social network makes us faceless thus no consequencies EVRY MAN SHALL BE JUDGED BY HIS ACTIONS BOTH WITHIN AND WITHOUT, SEEN OR NOT SEEN.

Pastor Bakare is not an evil man and does not deserve this also is any one in this country and mind all 2 of my relatives were cut down and my church was burnt and I haven't had sleep in three days . So if anybody feels the pain ,he should not wish, endorse and judge others evil or even the perpetrators any evil and stop this crass crap. Sitting behind your screen and saying shit you don't know any bit about.

I'm a civil servant presently not in lag but trying to relocate due to wahala in the north ( feel; me).Which area of egbeda, is it fenced, and is water available,thanks

Who in this world will believe the content of the thread , when the ACN secretariat th  earlier this morning announced that there was no agreement and all parties involved will have to feild their individual candidate. I would like to know when Ribadu made this statement and the link. thirdly i'll say this is CHEAP and  Purile

Talk true , they'll brand you anti Christ. Yoou don't attend their church, you are not a Bible believer, your church does not have the blings, then you are reard to as not serving God. I wonder what He's pastoring and would his church return all his contributions knowing that it is stolen.

Can't we for sanity sake just not put ethnic under/overtones in our thinking/comments to general human issues in this country? This is even rearing it's head amongst the so called educated and informed  fellow NLders . Aagh!

"They said we N_I_G_G_E_R we are much more soon we choose to ignore the obvious they didn't acknowledge, we are scholars long before the colleges".from NAS
Yes the origin is 0offensive however, it remind us of what it used to be . The word nigger can be said if it's not meant to offend anybody , (Do I mean like a slave master - N_I_G_G_ER no I'm ganster), NAS.

The use of the word should be interpreted in context and not the original.
According to what i used to hear sometime when i was younger, the word Ijesa was actually Ije Orisa and it means the food for Orisa, meaning they were the choice for sacrifice to the Gods of the ife. But centuries back they seized to be and the name stuck and they are one of the biggest sub-tribes in Yoruba and where the Penticostal movement started in Nigeria!

another april fool ,thanks, but if serious plssend pics to odular!@yahoo.com

grrrrr! not again!

@ emeka gh we all know what's up in this country and if we don't keep on using  BIG words like unpatriotic to address people of different opinion to ours rather than discuss it, then I repeat we are doomed for a collapse as that is the consequences of such actions if it continues. Unpatriotic is such a BIG WORD to use on a fellow country just because of expressing an innocuous opinion differnt from yours and it is a crime.

The negatives makes the positives positive". Great and democratic nations of present era are built upon tolerance and balance of temperament and I guess you be christian even the Bilble  tells nations the consequencies of their actions and inactions .

So don't go emotional with me bro.  Sorry bro , I am not frustated oo speak for yourself. you rather pray to be in my shoes. God bless you if ypu want it. I leave you  to judge yourself for wishing such for your family and not mine curse I didot curse you or your family or this country bro.

NEDG, Wrong . That  was not a debate. Bias in allowing a single person to carry on the (debate) giving shit tasting excuse. But I'm not disappointed at  that anyway.

BUHARI/ SHEKARAU/RIBADU , Wrong . Not to have attended the so called debate even if felt spited by the earlier refusal by GEJ. The three just played into the hands of  PDP. Madueke .

GEJ , wrong . I'm not impressed

Me , wrong Because I'm not voting what is gonna happen is the continuation of what is and has been same ACN/PDP magic.Wish  Fela is still alive.  

Most respondents here are too emotional and sentimental and thus will vote based on these . Just like in religion nothing can be wrong , their own side is always and only correct. ( Rigid). and such will blind to see the goodness and need to readdress position.

We have a very looooooooong way to go in terms of good governance in this country and we are not starting now,May be 2015(cause i think we don't know what we need and if we do it is still a few that does and the few are too minute, and voiceless and ! sobs. I cry for 9ja and cry for myself ,

It is absolutely undeserving and unpatriotic for any Nigerian or NLder to refer to anyone that doesn't support any of his prefered candidate as  unpatriotic and haters of Nigeria. Of what difference are we if we use such Heavy words on people with different preference.  Does such remarks makes us any different from that weapon wielding and intolerant thug on the outside. i still say nigeria is still doomed because most of us Does Not understand what democracy and freedom of expression and fundamental human right is . These only exists in our books laptops and i our heads and not in pur hearts.

Truly, do we really need any kind of debate at all and if we do,why call this one , when other candidates are not around. The NEDG or whatever they call themselves should just realise that if other partis invited didn't show up then it cannot be termed as a debate again.

If we are not to be biased , then it shows that they (NEDG) did not do all what that needed to be done to convince the other parties and their candidates to show up but because of our clime they care less as long as the incumbent whose favour majority seeks has signifies intensions and that is all that matters. had it been that GEJ and PDP still objected, I can bet my 1 month salary that this so called debate will not hold. It was simply crap! and I believe Nigerian in all respect DO NOT DESERVE THIS . ( MAY GOD ONTINUE TO HELP US

I must add and maimntain that  Gen Buhari, Alh Shekarau and Ribadu should have attended the debate anyway just to shame the Okupes and may God forgive him, Madueke.

We are just simply f***** in this country!

i think whatever it is , Buhari, Shekarau and Ribadu should've participated.

Leaks or no leaks , I 100% think, Gen Buhari and Ribadu shoulld have attended the debate.

I wantaskthe same question as I just boughrt an aspire one atom and with a mcafee antivirus with the subscription still valied, however my system was infected with a trojan worm/virus thing yesterday and prompting an action has actually incapacitated the whole system , Meaning I can't use it Really i don'tknow what and how to rationwhat happen . don't want to be hard now but I think Mcaffe is whaaack!

Being at the popular seat! you dig?

Truly speaking most people in support of the GEJ/SAMBO are doing it mainly on tribal sentiments and disdain for the north and not on the fact of what he'll bring to the table. The fundamental problem that concerns in 9jarians  is corruption and not really where the leadership comes from we know that we can't move forward without decisively dealing with that . So I say with all convinction, that things are still going to be the same thing for a long time to come in this country.

Tiv dance is undoubtedly the best . Che k out swange and cat dance! The cat dance performance is like yoga! and swange generally is sensual and rhytmic beautiful to behold unlike most dances from the southern axis. with the exception of the efik dance sweet too.

Good one for the prof and others trying to get 9ja's name on something worthy of note by Europeans , (the efficient Germans) and what about the NLers who scoffs ? let get to hear something worty of such from them too. We all know that after air next is food then clothing, shelter etc but to them . Chinesae children build computers after they've settled their food issues though. So I tell them scoffers to go eat their computers and lifestyle products. mcchew!

May I add that why is anybody concerned about a curse, especially y'all qouting from the Bible?. If you think it isa fluke go and poke the devil in the eye and see if he wouldn't bruise  that is if you are truly a believer or doer of wehat you qoute. Won ki sipe inaro fun abuke, meaning Nobody begs the hunchback to stretch when the need arises.

May I say with all sense of humiluty and respect that, some people who do not have a real and existing  link to theeir root who doesn't appreciate or have lost ttheir heritage  having absolutely no sense of belonging the  society they find thenmselves at the moment and clearly stated, are not worth any salt will say nonesense of whatever the leaders and indeed the Oba of a respectable and civilised kingdom like the Benin Kingdom decided on an eerring member of that kingdom, when it is well known even to him( the perpetrator) that what he did is sacrlegious according to the culture and traditions of that kingdom.
One of my friend will say " Jeans does not make us decipher original from the real" same way internet has given all sorts disrespectfull and ill brought up people to attempt to denigrade any worthy thing that is asso0ciated with our cultures and they doo it with no decorum.  Imagine someone implying that the chiefs are just  trying to being useful! And these set of human beeings will be the one to spend hours on internet to talk about the up coming wedding of the english prince coming up next  month, praising whatever they do to high heavens! mtchew

What have I got to say, for God sake which everybody (at least in our clime) claim to serve , I cannot fathom why anybody should be jealous aabout the good results obtained from any opportunity that presents to another man and he uses it wisely. for a good benefit.

Dangote is someone I will respect for a long tinme and would definitely like to emulate and even pray to have the same insight and vision so as to be able to uttilise the opportunities that abound in my enviroment.

Some says is it only him? I want to say why did n't others place themselvwes in the same position so that they may be recognized. Whoever says that should also ask himself in any situation  be it family , job, affluence, beauty, strength and any other aspectthat you have an edge over others , why me? truely why you,  a single spermatozoa out of  a population of over 300million sperms ( of which about 180million are equally viable and capable) from the ejaculate, was able to fertilize the egg from yur mum and why is it only you that survived till date/

fOR YOU TO GET ANYTHING FROM THE KING( abacha, babangida, obj, obama, buhari Clinton, Jeffersson, lincoln etc) you must be seen to be able to deliever what they want. Kiss the prince(king) less he be angry with you, that's what the bibkle says. Do your work before the king with delligence , trust and conscience. Daniel in the Bible cannot be succesful had it not been that the king required his personality to be so. If you know what it take s to be a prince not to talk of a oprime minister in the ancient days , then you'll realise that there would be stuff that these men (Jsesph, Daniel etc) would have done  in day to day activities( not interms of corruption and likes oo ) that if viewed by these days standards, would have viewed termed in the light of Dangote and Adenuga.

Can it be linked that any one of them and most other credible business men stole even remotely from government coffers. rather rhan celebrate them, are we not celebrating Bastrds from  our  ethnicity, tribes, states, towns villages and brothers whohave done nothing but looted, and flaunting the wealth primitively before our korooro eyes,  worst of all, do not have any economically beneficial investments in this country but got the money stashed in foreign banks. Mcchew!

These human beings understands the real art science and acts  creating"real" wealth and making "real"money and above all create employment and food on tables of many (ja and africans.
Someone mentioned earlier, "when the maqchines are hummming, the Dollars keep rolling in". that's what's up not meer trading. What the machines humms are needs not wants. Self sustenance.
Most of our people had the opprtunity too but ehat did they do "ego trip". So those hating and b, s, ting should just learn and pray and listen rather than continue these ethnic chauvunism and what have you.
