You will be impressed. . . . .
Gone are those days when Lagos used to look like Kingston, Jamaica.
Now, you can drive in Lagos without getting lost. . . .the erection of clear routing directions on major motorways has made that possible.
I mean. . . .Lagos roads now have signages and speed limits and what Aloy.Emeka and his goons can show are goats roaming the streets.

NEW TEJUOSHO SHOPPING MALL.

Do your kinsmen drink milk from dogs plagued by rabies?

dont play dumb. . the nigerians have been in haiti since before the earthquake in form of the UN
and continue to be there now

i restate my question to u,are u half haitian?

Where are the Russians, Chinese and the Oil rich Arabian in all of these?

Why hadn't they build build and build before this. Why haven't people built up Sri Lanka and some of the countries affected by the Tsunami?

The casual manner in which you throw around seismic registers tells me that you have no comprehension of the severity of a 7.0 magnitude earthquake, not to talk of a 9.0. And obviously, since you've never lived through one, it's easy for you to direct disaster management activities from the comfort of your living room.

I live in California and I've been here since I was a youth. As a youth, I saw the devastation of the Loma Prieta earthquake and how it almost crippled the economy of the San Francisco Bay Area. I saw the ruins of the twin-deck Nimitz freeway in Oakland, whose total collapse effectively put an end to the double-stacked freeway design in California's engineering manual. Many were trapped underneath the Nimitz and many lost their lives.

Loma Prieta severely strained California and the state needed considerable federal assistance to emerge from the disaster. Yet, no country or state in this world was more practiced at earthquake preparedness than California.

Those of us who have had the misfortune of being caught in the “eye of the storm” never brand around 9.0 Richter with the callousness and ignorance you do. I can tell you with certainty that no CEMA (California Emergency Management Agency) official, prepared as the agency may be for the “big One”, is itching to show the world the efficacy of their preparedness for a 9.0 disaster in a real earthquake.

Your mighty UK, with its vaunted disaster preparedness as you would like us to believe, was virtually paralyzed for three days last January because of heavy snowfall. Yet, it was an amount of precipitation that would hardly raise an eyebrow in Chicago.

I choose my battles carefully and I often pick narrow areas of contention to debate. On the issue of seismic registers, I maintain that you are not informed enough to fully appreciate the seismic numbers you throw around naively. I certainly do not disagree with your comments about the need for Africans and blacks in general to start looking inward for solutions to their problems – you should read some of my posts on Nigeria's current predicament. But there is popular maxim that says, [size=16pt]“When a man is down, you don't kick him in the groin.”

The world rose to help the victims of the SE Asia tsunami in 2004, just as the world rose to help the 1999 victims of the massive 7.6 earthquake in Turkey. The Turkey quake left well over 30000 dead and millions homeless. Turkey has a long history of massive quakes 7.0 and higher, and each time needed foreign assistance to pull through. Even Iran, a country that constantly vilifies the West accepts foreign aids when its active seismic landscape tremor.

Many SE Asia and Middle Eastern countries fall into the category of "aid recipients due to natural disaster". Haiti is not unique in that respect.

What have you done as a person to help them too?

15 January 2010



Vice President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday expressed condolences to President René Préval and the people of Haiti over the devastating earthquake in the country's capital, Port-au-Prince.

In a statement signed by the Senior Special Assistant to the Vice-President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Ima Niboro, Jonathan expressed Nigeria's sympathy with Haiti, noting that Nigerians shared in the grief of their Haitian brothers and sisters.

He said the international community can count on Nigeria's support on the rebuilding of Haiti.

Also Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Alhaji Jibril Maigari yesterday said Nigeria will donate food items and other relief materials to the people of Haiti who were hit by earthquake.

Maigari told the BBC Hausa service that no Nigerian died in the disaster, adding that the country has been assured by the United Nations that all the 120 Nigerian Police officers serving in the UN peacekeeping mission in Haiti are safe.

Also in a statement issued in Abuja, he said the ministry has been in touch with Nigeria High Commissioner to Jamaica Mr Peter Oyedele who was in Haiti to monitor the situation and confirmed that no Nigerian died in the unfortunate incident.

The minister said Nigeria commiserates with the people of Haiti over the 7.0 magnitude earthquake that claimed over a thousand lives and rendered thousands homeless.

"The Government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria expresses its condolences to the President and People of Haiti on the devastating earthquake," the minister said in a statement issued in Abuja.

Meanwhile, the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO), the World Food Program (WFP) and other United Nations bodies are monitoring the distribution of food and other relief materials to Haitians after the country was devastated earthquake on Tuesday.

FAO said it is "closely monitoring the situation on ground to get a clearer picture on the immediate impacts of food security and food production" as they deal with emergency food aid and nutrition[/s].
