Please!When we had the chance has a collective nation to move foward what happened?June 12 was annulled
and the powers that be just looked. John Major and Clinton were the first to acknowledge Abachas junta. So what underdevelopment are they saying? For years they the west supported Eyadema, Mobutu,Kamuzu Banda,Houphet Biogny to the detriment of the people they ought to serve.All this is rhetoric. Clinton is great, i love him and respect his charisma annd oratorial prowess but hes foreign policy still didnt reflect the great stuff he could have done. Though he tried for middle east peace.

@bialegend
I know how you feel passionate about OKs candidature,but please corroborate
your facts before publishing them in forums as this.OK never finished schooling from University of Maiduguri and the people you called mallams that ruled us-IBB,Shagari, Abubakar all speak better english and the military guys went to military academies.Who told you yorubas dont support a S/E presidency?Have you heard of the S/S forum headed by Chief MT Mbu with Dr Dejo Raimi as secretary? I personally think OK is a mediocre Ndigbo has far more better candidates so please lets move on.

@emeka83
quite myopic of you. lets address the question and please dont make generalizations,
seems you are frustrated?abi?what has staying in chicago got to do with with underdevelopment in the third world?

@mycutiepie
congratulations,is there a way i could be hooked up too? very much so interested.

For all you know the guy spent a billion naira ($100million) to make sure PDP retained control of the S/E.
By that he turned himself into somewhat a king maker. He has two older brothers-one is a senior special assistant to OBJ and the other a senator of the Federal Republic.Hes got more than enough to be on Forbes list.gotta go on but wouuld tell you a little i know about his earliest millions$$).Despise him though

yea but did he support june 12? hell no!dont lets kid ourselves our help cometh not from america or uk but within. thats why i salute my brothers -hugo chavez and evo morales. the time is now-yankees foreign policy is subjugative-where and who have they helped?their selfish interest comes first. sorry for the block letters.

Way to go,but more stolen illegitimate wealth kept in banks not only in UK but in safe havens as Geneva, Monaco and Luxembourg must all be returned. The G8 if they do this they can keep their neo-colonial aid.Africa would be ok. But would they?

What postgraduate programmes are in Lautech?How many PHds has Lautech produced?
Your school was setup in 1989 and since inception it has battled with a myriad of problems
notable funding(i hear its mainly Oyo that is doing her part),accreditation of adacemic programmes(undergraduate),
infrastructure etc.I understand your sense of patriotism,its understandable but misdirected.Maybe in another 30 years
we can talk of Lautech- when she would have had capacity to produce postgraduate students,produce her own indigenous Vice Chancellor(College president) and have equally envied labs,libraries.institutes of research etc.Until then-get to work

Dina can never win Daniel in any election. Not that Daniel performed incredibly, but that hes got the whole
state in his pocket-he spread his appointments to cover the senatorial districts and unlike Osoba hes accessible,
not haughty.Daniel would have given the state a legacy compared to that of Bisi Onabanjo, but i think that era of
purposeful governance has gone,

good,cause if she dont leave his brokeass,she would spend eternity caring for some grown baby.
If he is seriously looking for a job then thats something different- she better leave for someone that would better take care of her than some parasite. Just kidding nasty experience just ask any guy whos been there

Better single-no drama from the opposite sex would increase your lifespan by at least 30 years. walai,
and besides you can opt for the ocassional fling when you deem it necessary since you are free, single and always ready to mingle with your jingle. haha

Nike won the Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria peagent in 1989.She briefly married (i just forgot the guys name)
and later separated from him. She spent the better part of this dispensation running after Atiku who dumped her for
a babe ,Jennifer(na hin house FBI raid for Maryland). To me she epitomises one word S L U T.
The rummor mills have it that since bros likes giving it from the rear she ended up in yankee with rectal prolapse.
Haha society lady ko

Saw 2FACE when he came to town- he aint got nada.Pasuma and Obesere(yoruba fuji musicians)
still fare better.Bros aint got zip. I am sorry for his baby mamas.For the gals infactuated-dont cuss me its
all D-one and Kennys fault.

May your dreams come true.Happy birthday

Sleep.

I work as a strategy consultant for a multinational-i love it.

Peace!

Interesting

Another pathetic story-all over Nigeria its the same -governors plundering the resources of their states
with reckless abandon.What must we do?

My list
1 Chief Emeka Anyaoku
2 Professor Pat Utomi
3 Commodore Ebitu Ukiwe-in case you guys dont know,he was Chief of General Staff,
Supreme Military Headquarters from 1985-1987 under IBB.
4 Dr Ngozi Okojo-Iweala
If eventiually power would rotate to the S/S, S/E these are my candidates who would continue the present reforms and bring about sustainable development.Destiny beckons, more than ever before.

Who says they have nothing on him. The guy had refused to honour previous invitations to clarify some issues.
I remember reading somewhere that the matter involved international dealings. Besides i happen to know that EFCC
has rounded up many fraudsters and drug barons from the steets Also many failed bank boys are still cooling their heels in R ibadu guest house.Its thoughtless to accuse them of inertia or being toothless.

Yes i agree.Rogue nations with nuclear arsenal can precipitate armageddon.But with them having it, who can take it back-Dubya,Blair.Condi, Halliburton,UN? I doubt it.Tehran and Pyongyang would not give easily.

Do you sincerely believe that any thing would come out of these "CIVIL SERVICE REFORMS" ?
well i doubt it. Poor people would be sacked prematurely, would wait endless for their pensions, and some
unfortunately would not get it,landlords would have a field day making people homeless and what of those with kids in schools?Do you really think that the FG would employ youths to fill these vacancies as some one postulated? I doubt it
The problem with the civil service is not the drivers or the messengers.It is anachronistic and sincere overhauling must be done.Policies hardly work where i come from-NEEDS,PAP(Poverty alleviation Program) etc whats the latest on them now? Thats how its done. Shout about something and next thing -nothing. My heart goes to those who would be sacked and their unsure future. I however trust in God to take care of His own and i know that many are calling on His name for devine wisdom. Its a pity

http://www.guardiannewsngr.com/news/article01/130706 would clarify further

"If you are seeking political office, and you have skeleton in your cupboard, we will bring it out. It has nothing to do with screening anybody. But we will work to bring people to justice like the way we did with 419, those sabotaging our oil pipelines etc. The moment you say you are now a candidate, you are now making everybody to look at you. It is not just the EFCC."

Lots of people know next to nothing. i happen to know here in the states confra boys from many colleges in Nigeria
-core professionals, well respected in their fields. I mean not to defend confra or cults but also know that violence in coleges and the unnecessary deaths are apalling.Kongi(WS) is not responsible for violence on our campuses.
The prescribing of campus cults by the Buhari/Idiagbon junta in 1985 drove most of thes groups underground anmd that gave way for excesses. Now add the decay in education which came as a result of the militirization of universities by successive military dictatorships you arrive at violence,deaths etc. Obviously all fraternities are involved in this rot.
Its lame to say a particular frat is not-lets say the truth.Register frats,let the public know them and their sponsors,you would see a decline in this nonsense.However,failure to do so would see us at this thread in another 20 years.Many boys now graduate to armed robbery because of the arsenal at their disposal-can you imagine? Something must be done fast to protect our youth.Indians and Chines are gone

@ Ashiwaju,

1 I AM NOT A MISS-LET THIS BE THE LAST TIME YOU ADDRESS ME AS ONE
2 LAGOS HAS EXISTED BEFORE THE DATE YOU QUOTED-THE BRITISH MADE LAGOS A PROTECTORATE IN 1860, AND IN CASE YOU DIDNT LEARN THIS IN SCHOOL (WHICH I DOUBT FOR OBVIOUS REASONS) THE OLD NAME IS EKO AND PEOPLE HAVE BEEN LIVING IN LAGOS (ISLAND) FROM ABOUT THE 12-1300S WHEN PORTUGESE MERCHANTS TRADED WITH THE NATIVES.
3 I DONT KNOW WHAT YOU REFER TO AS SUBSTANTIATING "FACTS”, THAT I SPEW HEAR SAY OR AS YOU SAY THAT I AM IGNORANT-OF WHAT MAY I ASK?-YOU SEEM TO BE BASKING IN THE EUPHORIA OF YOUR OWN LUCID INEPTITUDE MAY I ADD.

5YOU HAVE FALSELY ACCUSED ME OF “TWISTING FACTS AND EVENTS TO SUIT MY WITCHED NOTIONS AND EVENTS.” WITCHED? TWISTING?
PLEASE ENUMERATE.DO SOME CHECKING ON MY POSTS- I EXPLAINED TO YOU FACTS AS I SAW THEM.YOU UNFORTUNATELY SIR LOVES FALLACIESAND ESPOUSE INACCURACIES.
6 YOU HAVE CONSISTENTLY AND PERSISTENTLY MADE LAME EXCUSES
FOR THE GROSS UNDERDEVELOPMENT YOUR STATE SUFFERS.INSTEAD OF SEEING WHERE YOUR” IDOL” WAS WRONG YOU BLAMED THE FG,PDP,.EVEN UFOS.I DON’T BELIEVE IN TACTLESS DISCUSSIONS-I HAVE LET YOU RANT ON AND I AM SURE THAT SERIOUS MINDED NIGERIANS KNOW THAT THE OCCUPIER IN ALAUSA IS A SHAME-TIME WILL TELL.
7 SOME OF US LIVE OUTSIDE THE COUNTRY AND STILL KEEP IN TOUCH.
WE KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING AND SOME HAVE JOBS TAKE US HOME REGULARY, SOME DEAL WITH MULTI NATIONALS AND ARE INVOLVED IN ADVOCACY AND GOOD GOVERNANCE. SOME I KNOW ARE –BRIGANDS.
8 I COULDN’T CARE LESS IF YOU HAD A THANKSGIVING SERVICE FOR ALAMS TRIBULATIONS OR HAD AN ORGY FOR TAFAS PREDICAMENTS.BATS DAY WITH JUSTICE IS BANKABLE.
9WHAT DOYOU MEAN BY OBJ NOT HAVING “PAPERS”IS THAT A TERM FOR DRIVING”PARTICULARS”PLEASE EXPANSIATE.OR IS IT THAT YOU HAVE ACCESS TO SOME JUICY STUFF THE TABLIODS WOULD WANNA LAY HANDS ON (OR BAT).I HOPE THAT YOU ARE NOT FABRICATING SHA O.
PLEASE AVAIL YOUR SELF THE CHANCE TO READ UP ON THE CONSTITUTIONAL PROVISIONS REGARDING RUNNING FOR PUBLIC OFFICE. I KNOW YOU MEAN THAT OBJ ISNT QUALIFIED. DID HE FORGE HIS WASC/LONDON MATRIC? PLEASE READ UP TO COVER CERTAIN INADEQUACIES YOU SEEM TO FLUSH WITH MUCH RELISH.
10 YOU HAVE INDEED CALLED BAT A ROGUE, ALBEIT A “SMART ONE”.PLEASE ARE YOU SURE HES ONE? BECAUSE BY YOU CALLING HIM ONE YOU HAVE MADE A COMPLETE PARADOX OF YOUR MANIC POSTS.
I AWAIT YOUR RESPONSE, SIR
I REMAIN.
LEWA

He fired back at the newsmen, “Why are you so particular about Mike Adenuga? Ah! Ah! There are 101 people who are being investigated daily in Nigeria.

“Go today and see who we have taken. He is not the latest. What is special about him? Is he not a Nigerian? What is special? Does he have four legs? He is a Nigerian just like all of us.

“For God’s sake, there are people who have been taken in, and detained and nobody is talking about it. Responsible and good Nigerians have for long been taken in and investigated.

“In fact, we have celebrated Nigerians who have been detained before. This President served a jail term before he came out to become President. What is it? What is this thing about Adenuga? Important people like Gani Fawehinmi were detained in this country before.

“Please when we invite an individual for interrogation, it should not be an issue. We have so many cases that we are investigating, involving so many people.”

He, however, added, “At the appropriate time, we will come out with whatever findings that our investigations reveal.

“Give us time and I am sure Nigerians will know everything. We will never do anything in hiding. At the end of the day, Nigerians will know.”

Need say more?
