SeanT21:
that is history. They can complain to jesus.

indeed.

You are lucky to have 'malaria' in west africa.

They would have WIPED-OUT west africans and you will be saying complain to Jesus.

Go ask the aboriginals 'how is life' in their abandoned dessert

NOTHING about the millions starving in zimbabwe. Nothing about the tens of thousands running off to South Africa to eke out a living and in the process being victims of the wave of xenophobia. Nothing about the zimbabweans living on international aid. Nothing about the thuggery, the reported deaths of opposition supporters due to state sponsored violence.
NOTHING to show you care about the welfare of your fellow black man.

It is normal, when two elephant fights, grass suffers. sad but true.

If Mugabe actually brought all these suffering, why are the ordinary people still fighting for him??

The pictures they show were civilians runing around the street for mugabe. Thats show he has support.

where are the people runing around for MDC?

Same problem was in Kenya.  but you see Odinga people  + Kibaki on each other necks: Thats only reason Odinga was made PM of Kenya.

You are asking hooligans to distinguish between a good hooligan and a bad hooligan.

Mugabe is a Knight of British Empire.

How can you call him Hooligan? are you say the Queen is also hooligan?

Show me your friend and I tell you who you are.

When the going was good, Queen made Mugabe a Knight of British Empire.

Can we ask Queen why was this done?

Because they provided weapon for him to fight Ian Smith, who was going to shame the last of British Empire.

How times has changed.

Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe's honorary Knighthood is to be withdrawn by the Queen, the BBC has learned.

Mr Mugabe, condemned over violence ahead of a presidential run-off election, was made a Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath in 1994.

This 'CRY BABY' Tsvangirai  is actually a non-starter

Zimbabwean opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai has called for a "negotiated political settlement" which would allow the country to begin "healing".

Does he think Mugabe is going to negotiate or share power with him, when his supporter all ran away like chicken??

Where were his supporters to fight back Mugabe supporters??

He should go and ask Odinga + Kibaki in Kenya.

Also, he is not democratic; if he was, he should have gone to court to request postpone of election. Instead he ran like cry baby to his mother: Dutch Ambassador.

Is this, who really want to be President

I will continue this post later, but please NIGERIAN PROGRAMMERS, lets do something different.

why are you waiting for others, why cant you start??

If Bill was waiting for other americans, we would not have MS.

the are clamping down hard, real hard.

so come back home.

Yaradua has just declared emergency on power.

all is well now.

Why does he want to write 30days when is actually going for 3days?

Thats already deceitful.

He should write 7days.

They will still need to check if he has valid hotel bookings for those 7days.

Volvo is a very very good car but expensive to maintain.

Cyprus: best option take Turkish airline.

8ball:
this is indeed NEWS

£10mil = N2.3billion

That's enough money to build 4 universities or provide air-ambulance to all Nigerians

Yet, we gladly give that to UK; who does not even like our face.

They ran our lives, still run our lives and will continue to do so
Unless we come together as a unit to fight them!

Good Point but wishful thinking.

Nigerians are not ready to fight for anything but their own 'national cake'

Yaradua is a joke.

let him go play squash with MEND.

If Yaradua wins: MEND will stop the WAR

if MEND wins: yara-ill can go back to his Kattsina

pictures of your new lagos. pictures, pictures

I wonder what the RED INDIANS that were wiped-out would say in their graves.

turkey has 5% of its land in europe, and it is not counted as a european country how much more georgia that is located at the east of turkey. georgia is not in europe.

is Russia in Europe or mid-east?

where is isreal? Europe or Mid-east?

Isreal plays in UEFA meanwhile lebanon or syria are not allowed to play.

all these locations are Political and subjective.

brilliant. well written.

is this the end of 'cry baby Tsvangirai??

It has been done with great brutality, but Robert Mugabe has achieved an extraordinary turnaround here.

Back in March, when the first round of voting took place, he was humiliated by being beaten into second place in the presidential race, and by losing the parliamentary election outright.

Now he's the sole effective candidate in Friday's presidential run-off, and he cannot fail to win with an overwhelming majority.

The moral is clear: never underestimate Robert Mugabe's ferocious determination to stay in power


His opponent, Morgan Tsvangirai, has been completely outmanoeuvred. The outside world, which mostly sympathises with him, can do nothing whatever to help him.

The suburban street outside the Dutch embassy where he's taken refuge in Harare is empty, except for a few security policemen on the look-out.

Even his choice of embassy has been turned against him by his political enemies. It might well have been better for him politically if he had chosen an African rather than a European country to ask for help.

As it is, MDC supporters are gloomy and resentful. They are also cowed.

The streets of Harare are quiet because there is no longer any need for the groups of violent political activists in Zanu-PF T-shirts who have been roaming them, looking for people to beat up.


There will be no demonstrations in favour of the man inside the Dutch embassy. He seems as cowed as his supporters.

There are plenty of people here who do not even know yet that Morgan Tsvangirai has dropped out of the political race.


Morgan Tsvangirai's presidential campaign has been ignored or belittled

That is not entirely surprising. The official media scarcely mentions Mr Tsvangirai or the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) unless they are obliged to.

The main English-language television news programme at 8pm each evening on the ZBC is an hour-long paean of praise to Mr Mugabe and his past record.

The programme's reporting merges imperceptibly with the frequent election advertisements for Mr Mugabe. If anything, the reporters and newscasters praise him more than his own party hacks.

As for Mr Tsvangirai, he only gets a substantial mention on television when he is being attacked. One rather well-made advertisement lists him with Tony Blair, George W Bush and Gordon Brown as members of the "failures club".

A long news report on Mr Mugabe's political campaigning contrasts his successes and his likely future achievements with Mr Tsvangirai's inexperience. The reporter, referring to Mr Tsvangirai's past as a union leader, says dismissively that he has merely negotiated about getting more money.

Neither she nor anyone else in this hour-long programme mentions that on Monday the Zimbabwean dollar fell to 30 billion against the US dollar. The cost of a tub of margarine in a Harare store on Monday was Z$420m.

Chinese support

No-one knows how much worse the economic collapse will be after Mr Mugabe wins the vote on Friday. The economy seems to be in complete freefall now.

But as long as he can blame it on Western sanctions, even though they are few and mostly aimed at leading members of Zanu-PF, he will remain unscathed.

Western powers will be openly angry about the eclipse of Morgan Tsvangirai and the sweeping victory of Robert Mugabe on Friday. Many African governments will be just as angry, but will be more discreet about it.

Some countries, China in particular, will continue to help Mr Mugabe quietly and give him what diplomatic protection they can.

It all adds up to a remarkable sweeping victory for a man who only three months ago seemed to be on the ropes.

The moral is clear: never underestimate Robert Mugabe's ferocious determination to stay in power, nor the ability of his political opponents to destroy their own case

WEST sample:
Germany caused the worst war in recent times for same WEST. Yet US have about 100 nuclear war-heads stored in that country.

whats your point?

Many US/EU died to stop Germany in 1945 yet they kept 'nuclear weapons' with same Germany.

Dont you see that:   WEST will work together since they have no FIXED enermy but FIXED interest(benefit).

Germany did not openly  support Iraqi war but they provided all the 'maps of saddam bunckers' to US since they built them.

That's thinking like WEST.

Someone tell me I am dreaming. Is this the same @landis?  He is speaking my language here

I am not anti-west. And no where in my post did i say that. Plus I make my money in the WEST

All I am saying: WEST will do anything for their benefit. It is dog eat dog world but will are too gullible.

They are supporting 'cry baby' MDC not because they love them or love ZIM but to get maximum benefit from this lovely land Zimbabwe.

5yrs down the road, if MDC cannot give them benefits and Mugabe is alive and ready to give them, they will support him again.

we need a revolutionarily driven followership that will stand up to propagate what they believe in. but who is ready? and who will lead?

you still missing the BIG picture.

how come WEST can get these done and we are asking who will lead, who is ready?

thinking like WEST does not mean you become whiteman but understand how to maxmise benefit your people.

WEST sample:
Germany caused the worst war in recent times for same WEST. Yet US have about 100 nuclear war-heads stored in that country.

African sample:
Nigeria is not willing to allow IGBO president simply because they 'started'/'mastermind' Biafra war.

And they tried to use UN to achieve what their 'cry baby' could not do:

The US., Britain, France and other Western powers tried but failed to include language asserting that Tsvangirai should be considered the legitimate president, until another fair election can be held.

so much for WEST desperation.

Worst thing about my existence is being a citizen of that country.

indeed.

Last time I check, MTN would not agree on this nor would  those FAT cats

Using this logic of yours, are you invariably saying that what we have in Nigeria today is what we want since we are not fighting back the corruption and all the injustices??

Yes, you get what you want either by your omission or commission or neligence.

That said, its does not come in a day. It takes time.

The US., Britain, France and other Western powers tried but failed to include language asserting that Tsvangirai should be considered the legitimate president, until another fair election can be held.

You should learn how to read between the lines.

why should US/Britain put such statement in their write-up when its CLEAR to all Mugabe as of today still President? Simple. He is their 'CRY BABY'

This is same people that took 4wks to agree on exact wording of statement while Isreal was busy bombing Lebanon.

redsun:
I bet we are all beginning to see it,good.Time for disintegration,nothing to lose,but everything to gain if it works.

I dont think Nigeria will break apart. It should have in June 12, 1993

The point is the people making money in Nigeria are more powerful and BOLD.

The people not making money are coward and weak. They rather wait for their turn, which will never come.

If the FRENCH had not fought back, they would not have what it is today

If the Europeans had not wiped-out the RED indians, US would not be what its today.

You got to stand-up for what we believe. FELA said but nobody listened.

At this point, I consider Nigeria to be a failed project.

Tell OBJ, Otedola, IBB, Gowon, Anenih, MTN etc: They will laugh in your face.



Nigeria is land of milk and honey but only for the Brave to enjoy its fruit.

Nigerians are coward like people of Zim. Too weak to fight back.

Imagine: OBJ mismanaged $16bil and can still walk about in Nigeria

1) What is wrong with him being a western stooge?? Is it a defacto that you are evil if you are linked in anyway to the west??

atleast, you agree now that he is WEST stooge.

if you dont know answer to this then it is shocking: who pays the piper plays the tune. use that to see the whole picture.

2) The people knew of the man's ideals and still voted in the majority for him. What power does Mugabe have over the will of the people?? If the "WEST" (according to you) is what the people want, why deny them what they want? What right does he have to deny the people what they want?

I dont care about mugabe. But I care that whoever is coming must have the 'undiluted' will of the people.

The people dont want the WEST, if they do they should be fighting back the ZANU boys + girls.

You see Kenya: Odinga + Kibaki boys fought each other. Not that one fought and the other ran away like 'cry baby'

Under his stewardship Zenith survived the crash of the mid-1990s when Sani Abacha, Nigeria's then military ruler, closed down foreign exchange dealing loopholes and forced many unsound banks out of business,” FT said noting that his success stems from his devise of uncluttered bureaucracy of established rivals

who said there is nothing good about Abacha?

The US., Britain, France and other Western powers tried but failed to include language asserting that Tsvangirai should be considered the legitimate president, until another fair election can be held.

what more evidence do you need to know that 'cry baby' Tsvangaria is WESTERN stooge.

such blatant divide-n-rule belong to the evil past. It stands condemned.

Meanwhile, Zimbabwe's UN ambassador Boniface Chidyausiku told the BBC's Network Africa programme: "We have never prevented [Mr Tsvangirai] from campaigning.

"He's a cry baby…. He has been free to move wherever he wanted to move."

N967bill was spent by OBJ to give us the worst road/aviation in Africa.

Why do we spent so much and get virtually no result?

STARTLING disclosures on the huge funds spent on the nation's transport sector emerged yesterday at the Senate. And although government officials gave conflicting figures, at least a reconciled sum of N967 billion emerged as the amount spent on the sector.

Finance Minister, Dr. Shamsudeen Usman, who later appeared before the probe panel, alleged that the Obasanjo Administration awarded contracts in total disregard of financial regulations and the rule of law.

Accountant-General of the Federation (AGF), Ibrahim Dankwanbo, put the total sum spent on the Federal Ministry of Works in the last eight years at N524 billion but the Director-General, Budget, Mr. Bright Okongwu, put the figure at N688.99 billion since 1999.

Also, according to Dankwanbo, the total sum spent on the transport sector is N967 billion.

Well, the foolish Nigerian still give their hard earned money to UK.

why wont their schools also start coming here to get more students to make easy money from??

This is not new, during the colonial rule; the money they used to run the colony was generated from such colony.

It was one of the reasons they brought Lugard here; he was ruthless slave driver.

Open your Eyes African.

Wake up African

whats OIL reserve when we have GAS reserve second to only Russia
