Mr. Cushman, the bigger question as usual is one you have successfully dodged! Why are there so many beggars from the north of Nigeria?

When a whole Governor of a state is proud to announce a 95% illiteracy rate in his state!

The last time i checked, Nigeria is not the only country with pipelines. But it is the only country where citizens are forced to scoop fuel from sabotaged pipelines because:
- the people are hungry
- fuel pumps in the world's sixth largest oil producing nation are dry
- more than 70% of the population live on less than $1 a day

. . . and they say the people are greedy. Greedy to earn a living? Greedy to feed their starving children? Greedy to get fuel to run their cars and personal power generating plants in the face of PHCN's policy of darkness to the people?

The legal crisis in Anambra State has taken a new dimension. As the current governor Mrs. Virgy Etiaba refuses to vacate office to her ex-erstwhile boss Peter Obi.
Shortly after an Anambra State High Court gave a judgment nullifying Peter Obi’s impeachment, she got in contact with Andy Uba asking him to protect her from the court judgment. Uba in turn got in touch with President Obasanjo who asked the State Assembly members to appeal the impeachment

@Afam,How can you compare these two situations? They have nothing in common at all. The former is a case of proven ethnic cleansing and genocide, while the later is a case of possible victimisation. If you follow the stories, you will realise that the Doctors and Nurses, who usually swear to protect and save lives, confessed to injecting the ill-fated patients with HIV under torture. They still maintain their innocence up until today.
Libya's motives really needs to be examined closer in this situation. They have said they will only let the professionals go if their countries will pay up some millions in damages to the affected families. Now does that sound like people seeking justice or blackmail? The Bulgaria Government refuses to pay any money, rightly claiming such action will only be an admission of guilt.

dudes wearing footwears with tags on,

simply have a lot of reasons to believe that some people are p[b]laying on the collective intelligence of the Nigeria [/b] people, since there is no way to independently verify there bogus claims.

HEEEEEEYYYY!!! U don't expect me to give you all the investment tips here do you?? Go do your homework!!!

NO, thatz not what i'm saying. The university Engineering graduates are the ENGINEERS, while the polytechnic graduates are Engineering Technologists and Technicians. What i'm saying is that it is the university Engineers that are the major problem because they have not been able to design anything for the Technologists and Technicians to work on, rather they bring themselves back to the level of Technicians by carrying out maintenance and repairs on machines. If i may ask what have our Engineers in Nigeria achieved so far?? Have they been able to do anything with the bulk of iron ore that we have in Nigeria?? Have they been able to come out with a design for any Engine-block like their counterpart Engineers in other countries?? Considering these, between the polytechnic and university who do you think really needs restructuring and overhauling??

@ Loverb
The question was is the Naija music popular among Africans in general and I said YES! what part of d question did i miss?

I think we need to market Nigerian Music much more, and we can do it ourselves, instead of waiting for people to do it for us. did u ask me how?, if we can harness the control of the western media, i guess we can make use of the internet.  That is why i appreciate people like Bella Naija ( check www.bellanaija.blogsot.com ) and Dami on Naijavixen (www.naijavixen..com) who do their own little bit of marketing Nigerian artiste. I also have www.naijabrains.com where i dedicate the whole blog to NaijaMusic.

And that was why OBJ for want of acievements to flaunt, decided to flaunt the introduction of GSM in the country. What a shame something that is taken for granted in other neighbouring countries is now seen as an achievement in Nigeria.Giant of Africa indeed.

To be talking about reaping enormous benefits from this project lies on the assumption that the project is going to be completed.And going by precedents, that is a huge and "unsafe" assumption to make in the Nigerian context.

What more would make him a Full blooded Nigerian

if there's no change still.

Hmmm, that third party from your post did not actively participate in putting Nigeria in its pitiful and sorry state. They might be accused of doing nothing but at least they did not do anything to have Nigeria in its decadent state. I only concentrated on those that are actively and constantly involved in the day to day governace of Nigeria.
So let us not lose our sense of directions here in terms of where to point fingers.

sorry for seemingly going offline from the topic but then it is inevitable.We have seen other contracts come and go and it is only logical that we will look at the present situation bearing in mind what has transpired before.

Oops this one is from my phoney analogy books  , what i would like to know is a way out of my current dilemma, would you tell me to come back down to learn the techniques?

The actions of these two group of people explains the situation Nigeria has found itself today
