Sahara Reporters again, dnt they ever give up, SMH

Sahara Reporters again, mscheeewwww, i LAFF,

, and the best picture they could get is a man holding a bag with some stuff inside, ok.

C'mon,
Do we actually think PDP will loose the Presidency?? it takes more than "Sai Buhari" to unseat the presidency, Its a whole machinery you are fighting against, The presidency is not just GEJ, its a whole machinery,

Am yet to see where an opposition will beat incumbency, whateva happens its GEJ,

Its a law that affects everybody, i was actually happy and impressed to see the taskforce stop a Minister and peel of his tint, so i wonder whats the biggie about Jim Iyke, he was not arrested, they just stopped him and removed his tint

Wow!! finally, its good to see a thread that the majority supports the Nigerian Govt,

INEC does not need to match the finger prints of each person with 60million nigerians, it is going to be done at LGA and State levels which is feasible and the machines dont need to be real time after the exercise the will collate the data and compare,

i just wish JEGA will print out some names of double registered people after the registration exercise to silence the critics, if not the ACN guy will definitely have more to say

Speaking on the incident, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Mr. Jimoh Moshood, Superintendent of Police (SP) who  claimed that the taxi was trying to force its way into the bank ’s restricted area at about 7:30am, said he was first stopped by the private security guard at the bank, adding that one of the mobile policemen attached to the bank had to intervene by hitting his rifle on the car in the bid to make the driver leave

soo freaking sad, if people were not around the Police would have said they killed armed robbers trying to rob the bank just imagine what the so called PPRO had to say about it,

@ poster: its not only in PHC, other cities across the nation at least i am sure of abuja bought 4 for 300naira yesterday, same as owerri,

e be lyk sey person don discover say onions dey cure AIDS, cos its really alarming,

The N36 for the first minute is it for the first minute of the day? i think its the first minute of each call
if it is the latter the mtn and airtel own makes sense only if u make loong calls,

With or without an utterance from Atiku, violence was inevitable.
Some people are calling for his arrest.

, but at least he made an utterance so we can start from there, let GEJ use that one and show he is in charge!!!

I doubt Atiku is involved. It would be foolish of him. He may have partly incited it but he has done nothing illegal. He just spoke his mind, Maybe at the wrong time.
Let us not point fingers. Its just radicals with nothing to live for.

Atiku might not be involved as u say, but it is definitely not radicals with nothing to live for , it is radicals who want GEJ's job, and based on nairalands opinion they are already getting it,

i wonder what will happen if by any chance atiku and the other northern corhots oust jonathan from vying for the presidency.will the ijaws let it slide?

Not only IJAW ooooo, the FULL south-south, then they will no the tru definition of bombings, they are already experts in getting in weapons into the country,

Its soo very clear that this people are very desparate for power , they want to throw away GEJ at all cost, all those saying he should step down, please  FOR WHO to TAKE OVER?? The Bombers? because that is exactly what they want, trust me even if it was any of them that was there and a small sect  decided to take thier bombings to abuja among civillians they wouldn't have been able to cope (at least not immediately), Nigeria as a whole and our security outfit cannot cope with bombings do you know how porous our boarders are?? anyone can bring in a bomb and drop it in any public place,

i just pray GEJ will rise to this occasion and do whatever it takes to show himself strong, if he is forced out by the North or whoever the crisis will only worsen, there are enough explosives in this country right now to cause enough havok,

Those containers of ammunition that was intercepted, one can only wonder where it was actually destined for??

Wow!! it seems to be true oooo, now this is getting annoying

The debate will really be senseless since its not the masses that determine the outcome of PDP primaries, GEJ has a good excuse to reject the invitation, i hope he dos,

the points are quite noted but not acceptable for keeping a bad system.

In the beginning, Nigeria government built power stations, power lines, distribution lines, transmission lines and all what have you in the today PHCN.

From the days of ECN to NEPA and PHCN, we have all witnessed the rot and fall in the ability and capacity to provide electric power. Yes, the fault lies with federal government. Successive administrations failed to maintain, upgrade, expand and sustain reliable and stable power supply as the technology changes and population/economy grow.

Now the same federal government who in the past allowed the rot and caused the decline have come pot with the option of selling the power business to those who will not allow the rot and disintegration. You people are now coming up with issues that are have no bearing to solving our power problems.

The workers since the days of ECN have been the parasites eating away at the system and growing fat on the carelessness of the owners. Yes, many of the workers have been ingenious in solving some technical problems and have had to die in the process of working in an inconducive environment created by unserious owners.

Is it not a good thing that the workers will have a better life working under new owners who will be more serious and not allow the system to collapse. There is no way those among the present PHCN workers who are technically competent will not command respectable positions in the new arrangement.

The NITEL staff of old are all over calling the shots in various positions in the new telecom industry. Yes, new investors should build their own power stations and not buy over PHCN, but the truth is POWER is not wireless like TELECOM. If NITEL had been wise they would have made a lot of money from cell site co-location since the inception of GSM.

No telecom operator, would have been ready to build sites accross Nigeria landscape if all the towers were to be wire-linked like in the case of power masts. Glo would have rather spent their whole money buying NITEL if they would need to connect each subscriber to their network through cables. So there is no basis of comparison in the technology of POWER and TELECOM.

The only way to go is to unbundle PHCN the way it has been done and sell off to those who have the fund, technology, technical competence and corporate governance to run the succeeding power companies along profit lines.

Enough of sentiments that killed off NITEL and would eventually kill off PHCN.

Power is the most profitable business in the world, greater than telecom. When we get it right many people would drop some of their extra phone lines to pay for power. There is nothing you can do without power. There is no fun without power.

PLEASE LET THERE BE LIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well Spoken, Pleeeaassee let there be light,

Look before you leap for you have made a very ignorant ethnic remark.

Calabar is an Efik city while Port Harcourt is majority Ikwerre-a sub-Igbo and partly Okrika-a sub-Ijaw.(Just a correction)

As for Tinapa,it is up and bubbling.Try to visit and you will not get any space because the accomodation in Calabar and environs is already exhausted.

We should always look beyond this issue of accusing Igbos of trying to claim a place simply because they feel at home wherever they reside in Nigeria.It should have been appreciated as a good step for all Nigerians to follow for this country to be truly united.

I think all this ethnic bashing should come to an end, it is getting too much, and in most cases obscures the main point.

back to the main issue.

Tinapa, in my opinion should have been done on a smaller scale. I had major arguments about its location for very good reasons, but top of them was the accessibility of the place. calabar is nice, but just not central enough, you will struggle to attract the sort of clientelle that will make the place a resounding success.

When last did u visit Tinapa or calabar?? Tinapa is almost a failed project, its a pity how we waste money and resources in this country, imagine executing such a wonderfull project and abandoning it, u only need to go there and u'll see how the place is falling apart when it has not even been used, spyrogyra everywhere, most companies dat collected shops have not been able to open, The Nollywood studio i dnt even thnk it has been used, its only the water park and the hotel that is striving,

i'm still trying to figure out the major cause of its downfall, i think majorly its a change of government, Imoke dosn't seem to have the vision of Donal Duke so he has virtually abandoned the place,
However calabar is still a wonderful place to visit,

if the guy is even slightly involved in any kind of manner i think he should be shot and dragged in the street Rev. Father or NOT, all those that are in his defence have never had any relative kidnapped b4,

I had an aunt who was kidnapped and raped to death, her husband paid the ransom just to collect a dead wife,

i pray he is 100% innocent cos anythng short of that is no acceptable

Na wa ooo, if u think its is fake simply close your account or better still add only your real friends and ignore the fake peoples invite, F.B has done a lot in making the world a global village, u get to meet tons of old friends and new ones tooo, and please the fake thing es not peculiar to Nigerians,

ABUJA, Oct 05, (THEWILL) - Contrary to rumours going round that there is a bomb at the headquarters of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, THEWILL can report that there is no bomb threat at the facility.

Several readers had called in to confirm if there was a bomb at the headquarters. THEWILL gathered from the group general manager, public affairs of the corporation, Mr. Livi Ajunoma that security agencies were conducting a bomb drill at the facility which included evacuating personnel from the building without prior warning.

He said there was no cause for alarm as security agencies were only preparing for that scenario should it occur in the future.

I will still stay away from the towers anywayz,

I don't get why some of you think its not MEND.

Only mr gbomo has access to the email address he normally uses to send emails.

Today's event is exactly like a copy of what happened in delta state which MEND claimed.

MEND has so far claimed responsibility like they always do.

And if it was not MEND, they would have issued a statement since denying it.

Ehoi, it could be anybody who sent that mail, you can send an email with any adress u cn think of, just google it there are so many free apps that cant do this. whats ur email adress, i can send NEXT and email with ur adress

Still wondering why i cant find Jigawa flood stories in our local news, over 2million people are displaced and yet the only thing on our national dailies is what Buhari, GoodLuck, IBB etc says about election, WTF!! dose 2m ppl abi dia vote NO count
Even GEJ what has he done about it?? yet he is running for election in less than 5mnths,

They for beat them well well:, How dare u BLOODY civilian go and block a TRUCK driven by a SOLDIER, thats MADNESSS, u cant try it anywhere,

And am seriously still wondering how a broken down truck was able to start moving when soldiers came on the scene,

hey live in a riverine area, hence the need for canoe, for the kids to been alone on the canoe means they have been using this means of transport for a long time and that their parents already trust them with the canoe.

I doubt it if none of them can swim and i must also confess to you that i learnt how to swim through going with friends to the river, not because we were too poor to visit the beach, but because i just wanted to have a story too, i always hear my friends talking about stuffs like this.

This picture could be any of these.

Bless You, they live in the riverrine area:: they were virtually born on water,it s the sam as trecking some distance to go to school,

nigerians should stop being defensive. it is time to provide school bus for kids going to sch.
stop child and animal abuse

School busses dat ride on shallow waters, there are free scholl busses in so manystate, Rivers state for example, just that they don't move on water yet,

why cant Good Luck donate his 'Presidential Yatch' to take these kids to school?

crazy country.

Presidential Yatch cannot sail in dat water, if u notice they are not even using paddles, they are using long sticks which can reach the bottom of the water to produce the thrust they need, THE WATER IS SHALLLOOOOOWWWW, its a riverine area, building a bridge there is also senseless,

The kids cross the water everyday going to market, church and there is definitely no problem crossing it to go to schooollll

This letter is VEEEERRRYYYYYY FAAAAAAAAAAAAKKKKEEEEEEEE

Another white elephant project. Read between the lines people, who was the contract awarded to? Is he a politician? An AC member? For how much and how much has already been paid?

I have read between the lines and i cant still find out who the contract was awarded to, could u ple tell us

And who say it is an eagle, there are so many birds with beaks like dat,

I wonder why people see this as a waste of time: Its a great idea wether other countries do it or NOT:

My god! Am I the only person that sees what a silly idea this is?

So the government is going to register sim cards to prevent crime? But whats to stop a thief from stealing someone else's phone and using it to do whatever? And what kind of silly criminal uses his personal phone to commit crime?

When you car is stolen what do you do??: simply report a missing phone once it gets missing else you face the consequences

That aside sef, whats to stop me from telling MTN that my name is Nelson Mandela or Oliver DeCoque or something? How are they going to prove that I'm not Nelson Mandela? Hardly anybody has a passport in this country, and the equally silly national ID project only targeted those over 18 years (less than 40% of the population according to UN figures) and many of those either were never registered, never got their cards or got them and have since lost them.

That should not be your problem son!! At least you'll have to work harder to commit crime: If the database is made available to the police and you find yourself in any wahala i pray you will not forget your phone is an ID card??

And how is my grandmother going to travel from the village to the nearest Glo service centre God knows how many kilometers away to register her phone? How many hours/days/weeks is she going to queue for. It took me over 6 hours just to reclaim my line when my phone was stolen a few years ago because of the crazy queue at the Glo office in Challenge, Ibadan. What's going to happen when the whole country is rushing to beat the deadline?

Am sorry your grandmother might just loose her phone, BTW: there are no ques now, i'll advice you go tomoro.

And what about the privacy implications? Don't I have the right to make a phone call without our useless, corrupt government knowing about it? What if you're cheating on your girlfriend (not a crime) or plotting to escape from an abusive husband (also not a crime). Is it not your right to keep your secrets secret as long as you're not breaking the law?

Government officials are not monitoring your call always except you give them a reason to, corrupt or no corrupt who says they are not monitoring it NOW?? and they'll still need a warrant, The telecom operators are still binded by a privacy act,

Whatever i think it a step i the right direction, If it were implemented since kidnapping wldn't have been this easy,

I dont blame those of you that think everyone in Naija is after you cos you just came in from abroad. What most of you dont understand is that people have moved up and no one cares about you.

The way some people brag about coming to naija one would think they are bringing $1M dollars, you bring your broke backside with $5 dollar Tshirts/pants and you think you want to impress people?

The real people with real networth do not make noise, they just board the plane fly into naija and enjoy themselves.
Abeg make i hear word joo!

God Bless you UncleBros,
Such Nonseeeenssseeee what is the biggy about going back to 9ja, if ur concerns are about ur family then deal with it, U've not seen ur mum for 8yrs instead of being eager to see her you are scared c'mon, "YOU ARE DEFINATELY NOT WORTH KIDNAPPINNNNGGG OOOOO".
please stay in lagos a little or try abj, then u'l notice dat no one cares about u, just 8years and now u are scared of your family, except na one village for Edo u dey go and you cnt speak pidgin, dats only when u'll attract attention,

Do you know the population of whites in Nigeria, ?? and more still troop in daily, yet we 9gerians will be complaining of coming back home,

If fear dey cash you dey wia u dey, no be force, ****sigh****

meeeehn! Ireally thank God that that aircraft didnt crash oo! HMM! i am in mh 400 levels right now doing research on the nigerian aviation industry and guess what, i dont think i would fly after the research cuz what ive discovered ranging from lackadaisical attitude of staff to out dtated equipments all endanger lives. and guys plz what should i do? my mumsy has just bookd a flight for my jnr broda from LOS-BEN, on the same AERO!

Charlie, it is not aero that was the problem, its the weather, and i agree with odaeiro i dnt think it is as serious as they want us to believe, though we thank God the plane landed safely, it is not a strange phenomenon for flights to be denied landing due to bad weather,
if you dey fear make ur bros go by road, no wahala ein go reash,

Na wa ooo al this people wey dey talk about dividing the country:

That will never solve the problem, after the division communities will still fight neighbouring once to see who will dominate Fullanis will still fight the Biron ppl in Jos to try and dominate, Ogonis will start fighting Okrikas, hausa's will start fighting Fulanis, its all crap, think is better to get to the root of the problem than shouting about dividing the country ,

Our F****king leaders are the problem,
