God forgive us, we don't even know anything about this man and are about to gamble away our next 4years at least (it could be 8 ). Why can't he come out on National TV and debate the economic future of this country with other candidates. This mob culture of "you don win" will get us nowhere.

Now on the part of Atiku, he is the only 1 human being our 1999 constitution mandates to be from the same political party as the president. If he wants to contest the office of the president, during this 2007 election, he must either seek to contest within his constitutionally bound party which is the PDP or resign his post as VP, join another party and contest.
Legally speaking two errors have occurred and must be corrected. Atiku has been nominated the candidate of the AC while he is still VP which is error number 1. OBJ has sacked him which is error number 2.

Tuface and BankyW are quite popular in the Nigerian community in the USA, but really, how popular is the Nigerian music in the African nation?

To summarize, we are the problem, plain and simple.  If we don't take it upon ourselves to make it popular, it won't be popular.  Case closed, and as my secondary school math teacher used to say, QED

The people claim police did not do anything. Would police have shot at people who did not want to leave the place where they were scooping fuel, and then the same people would say police caused the fire? Even now, the number of people here are not helping the rescue operation. People are just too many," the police boss said.

And who is responsible for such mass greed and illeteracy??

the people of Adebisi Layout in Ibadan, Oyo State on Wednesday drew attention to oil theft in their neighbourhood. They say the alarm became necessary following the unwholesome activities of vandals in the area

i feel it might teach nigerians calmness when necessary.

Drop? Me? By the time I abandoned the car there - it took no time for them to appeal to me to come take my car and go. What about the danfo drivers?

Ghana did not spend more than $3billion to get constant electricity. Ask whoever you can

OBJ claims he has spent 10billion and still the situation is the same or worse

Well, I am not satisfied with mediocrity or half measures. My boss often insists on customer satisfaction. I have learnt it a a policy and have also made it my culture. What is worth doing is worth doing well. OBJ's best achievement is handling of Darfur crisis.

Let us change this government to one that has focus and loves the people. In my opinion there are only two parties now in Nigeria with ideology and principle, The FDP and the NCP.
I will vote along these lines.

Possession of a home defense weapon is not likely to turn most law abiding people into impulse murderers any more than could the possession of a cutlass make every villager in Nigeria a potential machete killer.

why can't they allow people to keep and carry their personal guns around??

We are worse than in 1999. He claims he gave us GSM. But we all know that MTN, Econet, Glo and even govt owned Nitel (now Mtel) paid $385million to the FG for licences. Nigerians on the other hand paid for every service they get from using this subscriptions. What is their achievement in selling license?

He claims he gave us GSM

believe me, that vicinity alone have enough policemen to take care of the security around there. i'm yet to see a checkpoint in lagos that has less than 5 policemen and you don't need to bother asking me how many check points there are in that region.

like i'll always want to believe, "there's always a cause".

Below is one of the deceptions that they make use of in deceiving Nigerians to come to the UK only to collect their money and refuse them!

@shockreaction, good question.
Livi Ajonuma, the GM, Public Affairs of NNPC claimed yesterday that some other pipelines had been vandalized and were being repaired throughout last week and that was why fuel was scarce.
I blame NNPC and i blame the people as well but the truth is if there had been no fuel scarcity, this whole thing would not have happened!If nnpc knew they would be carrying out repairs on some pipelines, why didnt they make enough provision to store adequate supplies knowing there would be much vehicular activity because of the festive period?
Residents in the area claimed that two tankers loaded fuel at the burst pipeline with police officials and that nnpc was informed of the burst pipeline before it caught fire but they said there was nothing they could do?from http://www.sunnewsonline.com/webpages/news/national/2006/dec/27/national-27-12-2006-01.htm
"The Group Managing Director, the NNPC, Funsho Kukpolokun, who arrived the scene at about 1p.m, admitted that NNPC had received complaints from the area but added that it was not the duty of NNPC to protect pipelines. Saying that it was the duty of the police to protect pipeline, he said that the police were obviously overwhelmed by other security issues. He insisted that pipeline protection should be a collective effort by all Nigerians."

Its such a pity, this nigeria that we are living in.

Nothing is free in life. People should be willing to pay if they are interested in quality education. If you come from a poor family, get part-time job to sponsor yourself through university. The absence of freebies provided by the government will teach you responsibility, so that when it's your turn to procreate you will not have 12 children. People have to learn to struggle and prosper with their own efforts instead of waiting on government or father Christmas. If we have more private universities, the price of university education will drop so sharply that market women will be able to afford it. Even if the price doesn't go down, the private universities will free up more space in public universities.
Let's learn to put aside whatever we "believe" in (government, father Christmas, whatever) and face reality.
