True, the guy was misguided. But there are many like him in waiting to become suicide bombers up north may be south too. The social economic situation created by Nigerian leaders over the years is very conducive for terrorism and other violent crimes to grow.
For the muslim haters, another good opportunity to bash Islam is here and already they are having a feast. Note, hatred does not cure hatred. The guy that committed terror lived on hatred just like you venting pent up hatred of Islam right now. Actually, hatred ultimately destroys the hater.
It is better we become objective in our comments and be just to one another not to commit same sin we blame others.

[b]Islam does not sanction killing of innocent people whether muslims or not. This fact we made clear to those willing to listen and are unbiased. The acts of a few misguided muslims is not the act of the entire muslim faithfuls.[/b]Peace.

Where can I inspect this car?

Hi Olanshi,

I commend your honesty. Many a dealers will doctor the odometer to 15 thousand to raise price. Your price is still within asking price yet you did not attempt to mislead buyers with odometer reading.

Market go come o.

Let me know if you change u mind.

9.2M is overkill. Come down the high horse friend.

5M and you got ur cash asap.

Ajimobi - OYO State 0%

Can't see anything to point at working differently in that state. He has shown no direction rather has allowed legis looters to blow away a whooping N120M on a legis looting trip to UK.
He compares very well with GEJ. No clues. Not surprise though but just that it was good riddance to the embarrasment called AKALA.

Protest against rape of old women in Enugu By Ozioma Ubabukoh

Over 100 women from Ogbaozalla and Ibeku communities in Opi, Nsukka Local Government Area of Enugu State on Tuesday protested against the rape of old women by young men in their community.



The perpetrators, aged between 17 and 25 years, had recently been caught raping old women of 60 to 80 years, including blind women in the area.



The women, who came in three buses, told members of Umuada Igbo Nigeria that out of the 13 rape victims, one had died because of bleeding induced by tears she sustained when some sex-hungry boys raped her.



During the protest, which lasted for more than five hours, the women appealed to UIN to intervene to save them from further harassment as they no longer sleep at night.



They said they had reported the cases, which started since April, to the police for action, but regretted that the situation had not changed.



Speaking to journalists, the Founder and President-General of UIN, Dr. Uzoamaka Ezeofor, who addressed the aggrieved women, expressed disappointment with the attitude of the young boys.



She wondered what form of sexual satisfaction they wished to derive from old women between the ages of 60 and 80 years.



Ezeofor said, “On the part of the Umuada Igbo Nigeria, we are going to Opi on Saturday. All the representatives of seven Igbo speaking states of Abia, Anambra, Rivers, Delta, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo will be there.



“The act perpetrated is an abomination in Igboland, Nigeria and the whole world and all members of Umuada Igbo Nigeria see it as such.



“We are going there to pray and beg God to forgive the perpetrators because such an abominable act can attract the wrath of God, which is capable of wiping out the communities in which the unholy acts was committed.”

Lanruma001,

Have you made progress in this quest? I am kind of looking at samething. Can we compare note? Mail me on amby_jibs@yahoo.com

Hi,

Did you get a response yet?

AKAINZO,

Thanks for your reply to these guys. Many supposedly educated southerners still remain illiterate in thinking and very much biased and dangerously predujiced.

Crime is crime regardles race, country, ethnicity, sex and education. No crime is a lesser crime because of the perpetrator. Whether an Igbo man or Yoruba or Hause, whoever comits a crime is a criminal.

GEJ should look at how his popularity has plummetted over the last three months. He is not helping himself cos everytime he talks, he simply gets it wrong. US will praise GEJ as long as the oil is pumped to US moreso it does not hurt US interest ''OIL''.  
This govt has to make a radical departure from the direction it is headed terms of fighting corruption, cost of governance, instil judicial reforms, ensure security, massive infrastructure financing not by borrowing but prudent management of resources and plugging loopholes.

May be the intent is genuinely good. But then, if it does not work out , it will become another burden. Mrs Okonjo-Iweala should re-think this borrowing with corruption having a feast on our polity, it is like borrowing for looters. The fund will again find its way back to the western banks somehow.

Can Nigeria critically look at cutting cost of running govt to free funds for development instead of borrowing.  Tell GEJ to conduct a referendum instead.Reduce the number of senatorS to one per state, national assembly to one member per state, reduce minister to 15 by untying ministerial appointment to states and tie to performance, reduce civil service by half( what do they do to justify the chunk of the national income anyway) and plug looting loopholes that are numerous and see if Nigeria indeed need to borrow.

But the govt does not have the heart for these far reaching measures because the interest of the AGIPs must be protected.

Let's see.

It is not just GEJ that is frustrated.All Nigerians who know what can be done to turn things around that are not listened to are equally more frustrated. You can call posters haters but really if Nigerians believe the President is making genuine effort to advance the country , they will be less critical of him. The President claims GOD made him President but people demand performance. Does God make you President to increase infant mortality rate, worsen corruption and other terrible things happening now. I suppose those who truely helps humanity are the friends of GOD.
The President is truely confused and expect that being in office by whosoever's grace, things should just work out with luck. It takes more than luch to run a country and the President better wakes up. Even if the President blames his enemies for Boko Haram, who does he blame for the overbloated political cabinets and monstrous high cost of governance? How does a country grow with a recurrent expenditure of 75% or even 69% promised at the end of 4yrs .  Who does he blame for letting the Alao Akala's, Daniels, and other looters work away free. Who will he blame for not coming up with true job creation policies. Who does he blame for identifying more with the aspirations of the AGIPS that have always owed Nigeria rather than the masses that voted?

The President truely came from an establishment where performance is never measured and as such does not understand the cry for it by the citizens. If you like, continue to defend GEJ on sentiments. GEJ is no fool, he is only deflecting his incompetency using religion and ethnic sentiments; knowing the gullible ones are quick to swallow it hook line and sinker.

But history will judge GEJ by his performance. GEJ is another one that history handed greatness on a platter of GOLD who does not know how to engrave his print with GOLD on the sand of time.

Just my take.

After days of weak and clumsy denials, Mrs. Ngozi Ademoye, wife of the deceased Chairman of Charvex Communications Limited, Mr Kazeem Ademoye, Tuesday confessed that she killed her husband albeit mistakenly.

The deceased was allegedly killed at his residence at No 11 Nwahiri Onuoha Close, off Aigbokhan Street, Magodo-Lagos, last Friday.

Prior to the confession, the wife had claimed her husband slumped and died but when she was quizzed further, she changed her story.

When the family saw two big cuts on the deceased’s head, she changed her story and said the man was involved in occultism and that he died during a session with the occult world.

To buttress her story line, she had said her murdered husband had tied tortoise around his chest and was reciting some incantations. Some red regalia, charms and weird objects were seen on the scene of the murder, all to establish the allegation of occultism against the husband.

However, that story yet again changed yesterday as she confessed to the family, neighbours and the police that she it was that killed Kazeem, except that it was an honest mistake.

After the confession, the suspect was then transferred from the Isheri Police Division to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Panti, Yaba.

According to her, at about 4am of Friday last week, she was engaged in a scuffle with her husband.
She said: “I do not know what happened that day that made me stand up to him. Normally when he is angry, I usually apologise and end the matter.

“But that fateful day, he was beating me up and then injured me. When I saw the blood, I got angry and decided to wound him too.”

In the course of the fighting, she said her husband fell on the floor and she hit him twice with a UPS that was in the room; on the head and at the back of the neck.

“When he fell down, I hit him with the UPS on the head and neck. When he started bleeding, I was the one cleaning him up until he became unconscious," she said.

She went on to say that the deceased did not die immediately rather, he bled to death in the room.


Crying intermittently, she pleaded for forgiveness for her act, insisting that it was not premeditated.


The scuffle was said to have been caused by her insistence on administering “Holy water” substance given to her by a certain prophetess in order to ward off the evil spirit in and around their residence. Kazeem was said to have resisted the attempt, leading to the scuffle.

However speaking to THISDAY, the deceased's younger brother, Mr. Jameel Ademoye, queried Ngozi’s claims on how Kazeem met his untimely death.

“If she said that it was a mistake, why did she not raise an alarm so that he would be taken to the hospital? Why did she lock him up in the room till the next day?

“Why did she also go to Kazeem's office and cleared the money they made for the day? Why did she also tell them to resign that Kazeem had relocated to Ghana?

“Why did she have to go to Ikorodu to get an ambulance and why did she try to arrange for a private burial ground?” he asked, stressing that "If she can answer these questions judiciously, then we can take it from there but what I want is justice.”

In the course of investigation, the police also arrested two other suspects whose names cropped up.


THISDAY gathered that the duo were the prophet and prophetess who gave her the prophecy that her husband was involved in occultism and provided the holy water.

The newspaper further gathered from the widow's story that the holy water given to her by the prophetess was the actual cause of the scuffle.

According to her, she had gone to her prophet for prayers and she was prophesied to by the prophetess that the deceased was an occult member.

The prophet gave her the holy water with the instruction to go home and sprinkle it and await the result.


According to a family member who spoke on condition of anonymity, the husband was said to have chased her around the house and then when he fell, she hit him to death.

Although the prophetess agreed that she prophesied to the widow, she claimed that she urged Ngozi to take things gently with her husband by ensuring it never led to a fight.

However, the other prophet clad in his white robes and long dread locks, also admitted that he gave Ngozi the holy water to exorcise the evil spirits in the house.

The deceased’s sister couldn't hold back her grief as she demanded that justice be done.


She wondered why the suspect would kill her husband, who prior to his death, loved her to bits.
She informed THISDAY that the love the deceased had for his wife transcended belief as he went out of his way to show it.

Speaking in pidgin English, she described the brother as one who took very good care of the family.


According to her, “She killed my brother and now she is begging for forgiveness. What about my brother?”
Also speaking, the spokesman for the family, Mr. Adesegun Agbaye, said the matter had gone beyond the family, pointing out that it was now in the hands of government.

He also asked why the suspect did not alert anyone when the deceased was bleeding and why the family doctor was not called in.

When contacted, the Babajaiye of Lagos, Chief Paul Da Costa, said he led a select group of elders of the estate to the station to hear her confession.
He said: “When we appealed to her conscience, she started to confess and told us the actual story behind it.”

A lifeline urgently needed by EU to revive its moribound economy.  EU can only remain economically bouyant and relevant in the face of a rampagin Asia if it can sell its moribound and expensive technology to brainless countries like Nigeria which does not know how to manage its own affairs to achieve desired growth but depends on the west and its imperialist organs like IMF/World Bank, UN etc.

More money will be wasted and no lasting good will come from this. Another pipe dream.  EU will have what it desire but not Nigeria. This government needs to think deeply to come with durable and enduring solutions to our economic problems; not paliatives / cosmetic efforts.


What have u said?

Somebody wants to spend money on you and you tell him its because he wants to revive his economy? I think it should be the other way round?

Calm down dear - you want development - yet, you dont want to see anything initiated. LOL

What do you want to see?


The west gives you aid / invest in your economy but really it goes back to improving their economy. West invest fund in a project in a developing world with a counterpart funding pledge by the host. Often the host is borrowed the counter funding by the west and it is a debt. The project is costed by the west and awarded to a company choosen by the donor west. The expatriates are paid high salaries and tax paid to EU country. Equipments and other project materials are procured from the west and this further generate work in EU/ West and boosting economy in the West. Meanwhile, the cost of the project is four times more than an Asian country will do and the host interest on debt further goes to boost EU profit.  You help to create more employment for the WEST and improve their financial balance despite the project is located in your country.
The G7 met and decided to give more aid to developing nations. How is that related to how to improve their economy? It is because if developing countries do not have funds to buy their products, then their economy is stagnant. I borrow you money to buy from me, I improve my economy and you are still indebted to me.

Think the ND Militias are fools actually.

Needless talk and unnecessary incitation to unwanted violence.

How easily we excussed incompetency and ineptitude with religious and ethnic sentiments. As long as we keep doing this, we should know our children will meet this country in a problematic state it is now.
Have you ever seem a political leader without enemies before. Obama has his own now but he is pushing to get things done. Should excuse Jonathan's failures for the fact that he is a xtian and a southerner? Will this fact be sufficent an explanation to your child if you have no food to put on the table for the family?
I do think Jonathan is failing in many things other than Boko Haram and you cannot blame the North for it. What is GEJ doing to reduce the huge cost of running govt and high level corruption preying on Nigeria for instance?

As far as I know, GEJ has all the resources to handle all the problems of his office and I assume he contested because he believed he can perform. The only resources GEJ has so far not have is personal competency. The problems are within GEJ character and intellect.

Stop wasting time blaming the North and other faith, it will not get you a better country. It only shows a flawed thought process in the individuals doing so.

The Ibadan flood was a disaster. Billions was lost in properties and very many lives as well. Worst is there was no emergency response from the various arms of governments. It was like people were left to their faith during and after the flooding. The governor is said to be in Saudi for lesser hajj while his citizens are been washed away by flood caused by mismanagement of the dams that overflowed. Nobody is even looking to the actual cause of the dam overflow to determine if this is man made error or natural disaster per se.
I think the Oyo State governor has to wake up and do the work he was voted to do. I have not seen a departure from the business as usual style of his PDP predecessors.

It is a shame.

Lasty, the flood exposed the grinding poverty in Ibadan. I was shocked by what I saw and pitied the helpless citizens.

May God help this country.

NO.

It looks like GEJ is in a trance. He still thinks ASO rock is a sweet dream and that he will wake up very soon and therefore just waiting while the whole nation waits on him.
GEJ cannot help this country at all.

There is something inherent in Islam, something unspoken, unwritten but nonetheless existent that allows Muslims to become terrorists and justify it with Islam.

That thing is hidden deep in the Arabic language but not found in the Quran, something Muslims from other diluted parts of the world only get to know when they associate with the terrorists.

Why is it that all terrorists who find justification in their religion have an allegiance to Islam?

The terrorists who are not Muslims have NEVER mentioned the Bible, or any other religious text in their propaganda. Why?

@alj harem,
They have not stolen your religion, there is something unwritten in Arabic, (and traceable to Mohammed), only the few , and the undiluted Jews know it.


Poster - This type of post shows something. Both the poster and whoever concur to it have deep hatred for muslims and only looks out for this type of occurrences to bash muslims. Hating muslims and stereotyping will not make all xtians or budhism. Even God created the world with lots of diversity and most people are born to a particular faith. For you who are muslim haters, what if you were born a muslim.
Matter of fact is violence whether terrorism, militancy, war and others abound in all parts of the world. Where a country's security forces are up to the task, they prevent innocent people from harm and abort such violent attacks. We do not kknow why this Nigerian govt has not come up with the sponsors of this violent group up to date. Who knows they may be sponsored by the powers that be as a way to further weaken the Federal govt in Nigeria. Afterall, a weakened federation will be easy to break and we know the oil will be for only those that sits atop the oil lands.
Otherwise, we would say the present govt is grossly incompetent.

Okay thanks.

I pray I was wrong and that it was not a fraud ring.

Sorry, did not get your drift. You gave a tenable reason why it may not be fraud but you initially said what you were suspecting. What were you suspecting?

Friday 5th August Law school Bus stop VI, La bus reg xq 766 LSD loaded to Ajah by 2.15pm. Stopped at Lekki Phase 1 and picked a man in white native attire. Driver accosted man for ticket and man produced one. Driver pointed out ticket only gets man to Jakande and that man should sit but be ready to buy ticket that will take man to Ajah at Jakande.
Immediately man sat, a lady who was a co passenger sitting two row behind and not in any uniform offered the man a lag bus ticket. I querried lady, asking if she was an official of lag bus for selling a ticket in a bus. The lady mumbled something I did not comprehend and the driver waved off the exchange of words.
At Jakande, the ticket checker came in and I again asked the ticket checker if there was a reason a co passenger should sell ticket. The ticket checker's response was not coherent or let's say inaudible.
At Ajah, I found out the lady that sold the ticket had disembarked before we got the last bus stop or garage. The co passenger that bought the ticket even embarrassed me and the driver was kind of persified the chap.

Does Tom or Jerry sells Lag bus tickets? Or is this another fraud ring.

Does anybody have infor? That was my second time entering a lag bus as I rarely take public transport.

My dear, trust NIgerians to fall for this bull shiot again.
Did Nigeria not fall for mr. "I had no shoe"?

Nigerians are simply misplaced up stairs. They dont know what a leader is and therefore will not see one even when he raises his hand.

let nigeria continue to fall for "i have no money" "i had no shoes" "I had no comb" etc.

Useless group of people.

Better to have common sense with no education than to have education with no common sense. Nigerias may be highly educated, but they lack any iota of commonsense collectively.

Ileke Idi , well said.

Fact is claiming basic rights in Nigeria is unlike the west where law and order are respected.
Most Nigerians have actually resigned to faith and hardly bother to claim their rights any longer because of the difficulties often encountered or the huge obstacles almost insurmountable. This defeatist attitude cuts across tribes, and educational attainement. In fact, the touts by dint of stubborness often claim their right when the elite shy away in frustration.
How far can you go or have you gone to get what rightly belongs to you? Please share your experiences. By sharing your experiences, you will be encouraging Nigerians who are already cowed to wake up and fight for their rights. May be we can again become a brave people and together re-shape Nigeria.Afterall, our collective bravery is a collection of our individual bravery.

Please share with us.

as at December 31, 2007, Nigeria's total public debt officially documented by the DMO stood at $22.229.88 million. 3.8 Billion Naira. Impressive figure for the collapsing Apapa Oshodi Road and other decaying infrastructure.

Na libel o!
i will sue on their behalf.
[b]you think you can stay online and tarnish hard earned reputation of hard working,ambitious and God fearing business role models?[/b]you will hear from us.
We will get you.


Quite interesting piece of information. Role model indeed. Been hearing quite a lot about how Bank MD's , Directors and other top guys in the industry make Billions of Niara from illegal deals that is economic crime against the state. How do you explain the sudden wealth of the CBN appointed Directors of the five distress Banks yet even their Pastors have failed to query the sudden wealth. It is only here that our Pastors and Imams see sudden wealth by members as God ordained.
If looters are your role models, wish you the best.
Don't want to duel on this at all. It is appauling that we all are not ready to confront the country's worst enemy. Corruption.

It takes a lot of restraints not to yab this president of ours.

He has and continues to deliver Nigeria to the owners i.e politicians and AGIPs.  The loosers now know themselves. Those who voted for GEJ are clearly the loosers.
This government cannot claim it does not know how to address the fundamental problems of this countries as mentioned by many on this blog. Anyway, it is a sad reminder that Nigeria started another wasteful journey for four years maybe more since May 2011.  Meanwhile, these weak and visionless leadership will weaken the federal government to the extent that only a broomstick will be required to break up the fatherland.

Can any good thing come out of this country?

Why would u rate a person's performance after 3 months into a 4 year stint? this thread just calls for sentimental answers. The thread should have been, " what would u have GEJ do to improve the economy" and how do we achieve this target of ours.

It will be a tragedy if we wait till the end of GEJ's tenure before assessing his performance. By then, the damage will be irreparable. By conducting this type of evaluation pari pasu with the pace of governance, GEJ has as much feed back to improve his government. Some may have posted bad comments out right prejudices but there are genuine comments on way forward as well. It is for the President and his handlers to choose.

This rating posting is therefore not out of malice for the President.

I will like to provide an insight.

There seem to be many more Nigerians from across the lenght of the Country that are frustrated by GEJ. Not that Nigerians expect GEJ to provide power, infrastructre and resolve all the country's problems in even four years, but Nigerians want to see workable plan to solving the problems over time even if it extends beyond GEJ.
Government needs to approach issues from a different and strategic point. For instance, the number of aids, ministers, commissioners, paliamentarians and civil servants urgently needs reduction by nothing less than 60% to free funds to facilitate economic growth.
Government needs to genuinely fight corruption. Reform the judiciary and not keep corrupt judges to deliver favourable rulings to the presidency. In fact all across the country the Judiciary should be financially independent of the executive just as the process that appoints judges should be.
If the plan or no plan so far displayed by GEJ is a basis for reviewing the government right now, no progress should be expected from his government even in 50 years.
Meanwhile, GEJ should shed the excess fat of AGIPS. Why would kerosene, diesel and other be readily available to the masses when GEJ AGIPs are feeding fat on it. Same with Cement and other public utilities including power. AGIPs are feeding fat on generator importation and sale.
The President should decide honestly which side of the fence he wishes to be counted. Masses or the buccaneers AGIPs.

Please correct me.
