"Other hard working Nigerians" - That is the bone of contention, if you are hard working, you will benefit from the current down-turn I personally i benefit my mortage is £400 pounds cheaper than say 6 months ago. And remember I said if you dont have a job na suffer you dey, but if you have a job and cut your coat according to your size, no shaking you will see your savings grow.

What does hard working Nigerians in Nigeria gets even if they do 10 jobs, 10,000 X 10 = N100,000.00 is that money. You do 2 jobs in the UK you will get at least £2000.00 X 200 = N400,000.00 which one is better. Dont forget there is a minimum rate in the UK which is £6.00 PER HOUR. Is there any minimum rate in Nigeria, people are paid slave labour. I remember whe I came to Nija, the hotel Iwas staying, I asked the gate man how much was he paid he said N6000.00 a month.

Why would anybody want to come back to Nigeria when the Naira was appreciating against most currency, the Cental Bank Governor deem it fit to devalue the Naira, What for, why devalue the naira yet again. People will come back if the Naira aprreciates considerably.

"when the self-acclaimed giant of Africa doesn't have nuclear warheads, intense military base,
how about warships, airstrip? how many do we have.? not even sufficient enough to fight NIGER DELTA, let alone guard the nation, meaning guarding the whole Africa would be child's play
US military budget is tipple the entire Nigeria budget."


no nation on earth needs nuclear war head, what for, why own a weapon you will never use meanwhile it will cost billions of $ to build such facilties, we can use the money that will build nuclear facilties to feed our people. Even America will have to re-think how much its spending on defence in the face of current economic down-turn, 5 million peeps will be jobless next year I dont think obama's priority will be increase defence expenses but to rather cut it down.

"Then my dear,may I never hear you or any awolowoists cry against northern domination. "


If you read my contribution on the Jos riot, you we see I catogorically blame those Yoruba's living in the North, they are better off living amongst their kins men in Togo and Rep of Benin than living North of River Niger. The only people I sympathasie with are the corpers who are serving their country in the name of Nigeria.

"What happened in Africa is that the Humans allowed the Animals to rule them.
Someone like Mugabe is allowed to lead a country full of intellectuals.It beat my imaginations.
I wonderful how that formula evolved!!! "

If oyinbos can allow Hitler, Mitlosovich, Satlin to rule them why blame Mugabe. At least Mugabe never kill 2 million of his citizens like Hitler, Neither has he sent millions to the Gulas like Satlin, and only God knows how many million muslims died in Mitslovich ehtnic cleansing wars of the late 80's and ealry 90's.

"His vision to starve Igbo children to death in war failed woefully.
The Igbo man has waxed stronger and stronger and he's been dead and buried and I've never as much as heard of a descendant of his.
Every evil man has his day with the cold hands of death"

In a war situation any tactic is acceptable, what do you want the Nigeria troops to do, to drop chocolate, biscuits and sweets from the sky to biafra kids, war is no joke when you declare war against a bigger nation you should be prepared for the worse.

"Any government that continues to fraternize with the likes of Ibori, Orji Kalu, Odili and the rest of them can never, and I repeat, NEVER claim to be serious about the fight against corruption. "

Lets all stop this judge and jury atitude, Yaradua said he beleives in the rule of law, if you beleive in the rule of law you will agree with me that if someone is doing something right now before your very eyes,  why wait 8 years down the line before you can prosecute when you can prosecute them now, so I agree with baba go-slow on that, I think himself(Yaradua ) his hands are tied he cant really do anything about cases that are as old as our democracy.

I will give you a scenerio,

A Governor wants to rehabiltate some roads in his state he annouces intrested stake holders and contractors should tender for the contract. Lets say Company A bids N250 million to do the job, Company B bids N350 million to do the job and Company C bids N450 million to do the job. The Governor now chose Company C's bid saying there bid was the most comprehensive, it now came to light that Company C is the Governor's subsidiary company. The QUESTION is do you wait 8 years to investigate this kind of case or you investigate it now. The chances is if you investigate it now you might get to the bottom of the case. But 8 years down the line the files are nowhere to be found, bank transaction does not exist anymore, so where do yo start. The bottom line is  the man has no case to answer as the passage of time as made it un-prosecutable.

And going about saying so one is a theif without geniue facts is not right, is just that Nija no get libel laws wey strong , by the time this ex-Governor sue your ass,  pant self you no go get, it will mean a win-win situation for the Governor . [size=6pt]But will all know say they are all theives but where is our proof.[/6]

that level of goverment is the key to the industrilisation of Nigeria but alas that not the case. What are LG doing with the 15% or is it 20% federal allocation.

@poster

You better run home now, your daughter might have taken her life, you coming to african web site talking nonsense. Get a life man.

"and any african nation that is recolonised this time around will never have independence till jesus christ ll come back, not in this era of nuclear and biological weapons e.t.c will you riot or fight guerrila warfare to gain independence "

What do yo mean any African country that is re-colonised, na oyinbo people they are the ones that  needs colonization there moral standard has fallen below acceptable norms.

@Poster

You can go colonise your home and your family, we in Africa are perfectly fine. The suicide rate in the west with its wealth, technology and good general well being is 100 times that of African countries. We can take care of ourselves. African is just evolving, It took well over 20 million lives for europe to get where it is today not with 2 world wars.

" no source, no credibility, no vote. "

What kind of source do you want, Is any source better than the present Governor of the state.

@POSTER

hi all,

it is my pleasure to annouce to my fellow nairalader that i am intending to run for the presidential election in the 2027.

please, u re free to say what u want here. so u can give ur advice if thre is any and i will appreciate ur contribution.

Thanks



Whats stop you from running 2011, we have this defeatist atitude in us, I bet 99% of Nigerians have already given the 2011 election to PDP

@Bialegend
Your people have wasted your own chance through OBJ, so why ask for more when others are yet to get the their own chance? Why don't you root for him to take over in 2011 and finish off the hausa term? What are you afraid of? Afraid of confronting the hausas and telling them that they know nothing about leadership and so should make room for your Fashola to take over?

Have you forgotten that any Nigeria irrespective of where you come from are free to associtiate and create political parties at random without fear,  prejudice or intimidation. I will like to ask a few question

1. Where in the constituion was it written that the presidency should be rotational.

2. Do not confuse PDP's policy with other political  parties.

3. Yorubas cannot be Presidential candidate for PDP, that is for sure, but they can be presidential candidate for any other party.

4. If I like tommorow I form my own political party and make myself presidential candidate-  I will see how you will stop me.

5. The constition allows as many politcal party as possible and not jus PDP, you dont know the party that will win the 2011 presidential election might still be in its infancy stage now.

6. Dont be fooled and dis-illusioned by PDP's Policy, PDP is not the Nigeria electorate, the electorate will choose whoever they want come 2011.

There was this other post - " Its time for a revolution " . The Irony is revolution has already started.

1. The fact that Oshiomle won the election in Edo State is a milestone in Nigeria Politics.

2. Young revolutionalist and volunteers lend your expertise to this popular Governor, be it you are Yoruba, Hausa, Ibo, or any other ethnic group lend your expertise to this man.

3. Revolutionist the world over needs a foothold somewhere. If Edo state is the foothold to change in Nigeria then all comrades come to Edo state and make it the El-dorado of Nigeria.

4. If the foothold succeeds then like a wild fire the gospel of change will impact on other states, even the ruling party PDP will not know what hit change.

5. Barrack Obama's election is based on change and like a wild fire it swept the board.

6. Chei Guavera the popular revolutionist that died in Cuba fighting with Fidel Castro, he was not Cuban he was Argentinian. But his mantra was based on if we can succed in one country the Gospel of change will spread into other latin American countries, but unfortunately he died.

7. This is the reason why I said you do not have to be from Edo state to contribute to its success. A success their would have created young revolutionaries of Yoruba, Hausa, Ibo, and all other ehtnic extractrion who will take the fight to their respective states and before long a sea of change will sweep Nigeria.

8. Comrades if you truely beleif in the spririt of revolution and volenteering then approach the governor and make him the a de-facto figure where the revolution will be born and the gospel preached and spread and before long PDP will not know what hit them. Long live Nigeria, Long Live Oshimole.

9. Lastly I am not from Edo state, I am a yoruba nationalist but beleif in change and I see this popular governor as a spring board for change in Nigeria. I do not even know him. So Comrades get on board.
