Kobojunkie:
I love the way it is RACISM if he looses and no more about simple politics as it has always been in america from the beginning.
American was not built on any democracy or simple politics.

It was built purely for the Europeans that left Europe.

1. if america is democratic why was 'communism party members haunted to death?

2. why was the red-indians wiped-out?

3. why was it after 400yrs no black or red-indian is president?

That said, Obama wins/losses nothing but 'pure politics of survival'; thats america way of life.
Foreign AffairsRe: Analysis: U.s. Bends The Rules Of Free Markets by landis(m): 5:15pm On Sep 22, 2008
believe US and the capitalists only at your own risk.

Thats why developing nations should never listen to IMF/worldbank but work together to achieve a better life for their people.

America/EU success is not based on any economic model but ability to bully others to see their side of views.

The world is created for ALL and poverty is not God made.

It is human made.
Foreign AffairsRe: Riot After Africans Shot In Italy by landis(m): 4:10pm On Sep 22, 2008
Most West Africans especially Nigerians don't respect other people, instead when they're in a country they behave as if they belong to that country, thats why where ever they are people are always complaining about them
you are mixing 'bad behaviour' with racial attack.

In this article; it is purely a 'gang drug war'.

I have travelled widely in NAPOLI.

It is run by mafia(even Belusconi has no chance), yet the blacks sell their 'wares' freely on the street.

We should not equate everything to racisim.

unfounded statement.

There was no Americans 500yrs ago only RED INDIANS. European left europe, kill the red indians and turn the place to America.

If they can find theirs in Spain, so be it.

I mean really now, everybody knows that Italians and Spaniards are the most racist. Why did they go there. One will never understand West Africans.
is this based on fact or your fantansy?

Thousand of AFRICANS/ARAB refugees arrive in lempedusa/tenerife every month and they allow them to stay.

Spain has already special work VISA for senegelese as means to discourage their suicide-mission

I saw many africans trading in street of Italy, last time I read, they will being burnt alive in South Africa.

How. . . .when nigerians has exonerated Abacha from all the atrocities he committed? They even said he was a saint.
Yes compare to OBJ, Abacha was a saint.

Abacha stole all together $3bil

OBJ in one sector alone siphon $16bil.

Yes compare to Yaradua, Abacha was clear and honest even though evil.

Everybody knows Abacha wants power and wants to cling to it forever.

Yaradua pretends he does not want power, telling us 'RULE OF LAW' yet he does all things against same rule of law.

Do the maths. Abacha was more predictable.

I say blame us . . . blame thieving, cheating, conniving, myself-only Nigerians. But for our aptitude for fraud the British Embassy wont be strictly asking for security information on your WAEC certificate. Dont blame those officers, its becoming very difficult to sift the genuine applicants from the fraudsters.

Sad but what can we do?
Fix our country by chasing away those corrupt thieves from Government!

Yes, we can. If we are ready!

UI in the 70s was the cream of universities world-wide. We have virtually no university anymore now.

I would even suggest that the WEST/UN should help us; they should not admit any Nigerians to their schools.

This would force us to chase away criminals from Government and build excellent schools for our people.

But alas we are too divide-a-people to fight it out.

Sorry, no HOPE for Nigeria.
TravelRe: Detention And Strip-searching Of Nigerian Priest by landis(m): 11:54am On Sep 21, 2008
It is understood that immigration officials became suspicious when Fr Achebe said initially that he was a brother and then a cousin of Dr Udegbe, the terms having a wider meaning in Nigerian culture than they would have here. The pair are distant cousins.
thats comedy of culture.

honestly, Nigerians travelling abroad needs to be coached on what to say and not say.

Every President crave to be at the UN to make its presence know and present good things about his country.

Basically, he is not medical FIT to be President.

This guy yaradua is worse than Abacha. He is a mirror of what is wrong with Nigeria.

We are never honest with ourselves.

Napoli is full of mountaine of rubbish on the street.

It is tightly controlled by the Mafia.

If WEST really want to help Nigeria, this is where they can do something.

Ban 'health tourism' from Nigerian Govt officials to the WEST.

They should deny such visit with simple statement:

Please treat your government official in your own country.
TravelRe: Milan Malpensa Airport And Milan Bergamo Airport by landis(m): 5:23pm On Sep 18, 2008
Both should be about 45km apart but bergamo is used mostly by those cheap airline and you may have to get to Milan center to go Malpensa

Bus fare from Bergamo airport to Milan center used to be about 8Euro and runs 8times per day. Take 1hour.

Bus far from Milan city to Malpensa used to be 7.50Euro, takes about 50minutes.

Good Luck.

PoliticsRe: SSS Invades Channels Tv by landis(m): 11:39am On Sep 18, 2008
Yar'adua’s initial response was that he would not return to Nigeria on account of “public agitation.” But he changed his mind after he read convincing security reports that some political interests in the North were planning to announce his ouster in a week or two—during a scheduled meeting of the Federal Executive Council (FEC).
--

In another twist, a senior NAN staff told SaharaReporters that the clampdown on Channels TV was a distraction orchestrated by Information Minister John Odey. He said: “Mr. Odey is desperate to deflect attention from an ICPC report which indicted him as well as former managing director of NAN, Akin Oshuntokun, for embezzling N600 million.” Odey was then the chairman of the board of the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN). The embezzlement was carried out through contracts and the duo shared the proceeds. Our source said the ICPC report ICPC ordered Odey and Oshuntokun to refund the money.  

Odey led the first detachment of agents of the State Security Services (SSS) who went to close down Channels TV offices in Abuja.

what a country!
PoliticsRe: SSS Invades Channels Tv by landis(m): 11:33am On Sep 18, 2008
Yaradul days are numbered. He has boxed himself into a corner just like Abacha did.

“But the main reason the president decided to move against Channels, by shutting it down and then taking away its license, is that the government received a reliable tip that the station was going to broadcast a report alleging that Yar'adua was reportedly diagnosed with lung cancer during his last trip to the kingdom of Saudi Arabia. SaharaReporters exclusively revealed that the trip was for medical reasons.

The story about Yar’adua’s dire diagnosis was reportedly obtained by former military dictator, Ibrahim Babangida, and passed on to Channels. Our PDP source said Babangida had reportedly obtained the information from his contacts in Germany just before traveling to France to check up on his own health in preparation for running to replace Yar'adua as president.

This is the begining of 'terrible things' to come.

In democratic setting, they will file charges against such TV station not close it down.

The worst will be a fine to pay as people work there and families depend on the income.

There goes YARADUL's rule of law.

The Africans who work here do not take weekends off. Montreal, where they have left wives and children behind, is not a weekend destination. Driving there takes almost seven hours.

Raymond Bertrand Neabo, 28, worked for a French bank in Yaounde, the capital of Cameroon, after graduating from university there. After moving to Canada in 2006, he found that prospective employers deemed his business administration degree useless. So he started a second degree from scratch.

After moving to Montreal, Thomas Shase, a 25-year-old Nigerian, first started working in telemarketing, phoning resentful people who sometimes told him to "go back to Africa".

He then heard about the forestry job. "It's hard, my brother, but it's better than Montreal," he said. "The forest is peaceful. You get to think. But the best part is the money."
