denex:
Anyway, I was concentrating on discovery of explosive materials on ground zero. Well they did find traces of thermite and thermate. These are specialized explosives for solid metals. I'm still reading the report sha so y'all join me.

Really? I haven't seen any record of that in the investigations carried out. I shall have another read through when I have time.

*Sigh* *shrugs*

They lied! As expected, the rest of the population in Kano now have to live according to "Islamic Law".

denex:
Hmmm, so building 7 is the jackpot?

No it isn't. It really has no direct bearing on the twin towers themselves.

denex:
If buildings as tall as the twin towers, more than 400 meters each, can collapse almost straight on their own foundations, then how come there are millions of demolitions experts, how come they still have a job? Je ne crois pas!

I don't think it would be wise to fly planes into abandoned buildings that are due to be demolished.

See the below page that shows some steel bars for the floors were missing the sprayed on fire proofing they should have had. These steel reinforcements may have been naked before 9/11.

It is also important to note steel loses about 20% of it's strength at some 300C-500C, and about 50% of it's strength at about 1000C. It wouldn't have to melt to buckle and fail.

Along with the conspiracy theories we've seen. there are also those who scientifically debunk such claims which you don't often hear about.

This site shows building 7 and offers an explanation.

ph4life:
none of these governors looted as much as Peter Odili. Until DONATUS is locked up after getting paraded through the streets of PH naked, whatever EFCC think they are doing is just a waste of time.

Why do you want to see Odili naked?

initiator:
@denex when the standard of living is below the law, breaking the law becomes imperative.

How can the standard of living be below the law? Sounds like an excuse to me.

@redsun
And you judge the whole of Nigeria on one road?

Mmelu:
What is the last respondent driving at? That OBJ was not a common thief? Please spare me o jare.

*Yawn*

The source of the story is an article is the sun.

smile4kenn:
For example, my own intelligence sources have told me that Obasanjo is worth over N180 billion assets, in shares and other things.

Says it all really. "Intelligent sources" indeed. I wonder if this story appeared because kalu was arrested.

Let's see what the new excuse will be. Maybe Orji and Turaki disagreed with OBJ's returning to school?

There are some on these forum boards that claim Lagos thrives on stolen oil money from the Delta. I wonder what their opinion is on this article.

Interesting development

Umaru Yar'Adua, Nigeria's president, says he has asked the five business moguls who benefited most under his predecessor's rule to contribute some of their wealth to a fund aimed at stimulating small enterprises.

No doubt Dangote will be among those 5 moguls. that should appease some in this thread.

Have they (Kidnapping criminals) finally gone too far or is Yaradua not ready to entertain the same amount of nonsense as OBJ did. Time will tell.

In Nigeria from time to time we cue hours/days for petrol. In Zimbabwe they cue for food. Unbelievable!

Do you know that pigs can fly, and drive, and solve complex maths?

It is like any other day. Like other days of the year, it turns out good for some bad for others. For most people it is just another day.

They are at it again.

ORT HARCOURT, Nigeria (Reuters) - Nigerian troops repelled an attack on a construction site run by Korean firm Daewoo in the Niger Delta early on Tuesday, killing one of the attackers, a military commander said.

And so on.

In short, you become untouchable and a mega empire.

Finally, Stop hating, let's embrace and be proud of the man.
Don't you guys tired of 419 on CNN every other week?
This is a GREAT news for Nigeria in general.

I love Oprah, but my respect goes to DANGOTE and I wish him well with everything.

Exactly. The man is now building a massive refinery that will employ thousands of Nigerians but, obviously for some it is not enough. They expect him to fly around the country throwing money down to the population.

And the kidnapping goes on. It's fair to say it's now out of control and only a major security operation will prevent chaos in the delta.

A British and a Bulgarian citizen were kidnapped overnight in oil-rich southern Nigeria, a day after three other foreigners were snatched in the area, industry and diplomatic sources said Monday.

angel101:
what was my question if it wasnt related to oprah?

This was the question you asked.

---------
And what has he done to touch the lives of the less priviledged in the society? who cares what he is worth if it makes no difference to the society in which he lives?! Shocked

angel101:
And Oprah doesnt?

@bodsibobo
did u read my post?

What has Oprah got to do with it? You asked a question and I responded or did you forget the question you asked?

Afam:
What bothers me on this forum (politics section) is that those who will first insult will scream the most when they are responded to in kind, those who will spread misinformation will claim that others are responsible, those who will lie and expect everyone to disprove the lies will be the ones accusing others of lying, those who will call a spade a spoon will be the first to scream lets call a spade a spade. Why is the world filled with hypocrites and sycophants?

Funny you should say that cause in your 3rd post on this thread you said the following to which didn't respond cause frankly I can't be bothered.

So for Mariory who posts as a man even when someone had earlier challenged her identity which she shamefully ignored to be talking about liars is another wonder of the world. I don't deal with hermaphrodites (I hope say na the spelling sha).

This is what you have done time and time again. Of what relevance was this to the thread. You proceeded to insult me and call me a she/hermaphrodite for no reason other than I posted a link confirming David's post. How are you going to attempt to spin this, "Mr Christian"?

Aneef:
I think rating the two will not be good without considering the level at which they both operate.Theirs is no level of comparison with the level of their operation because ones is dealing with a chronic disease(CORRUPTION) which has to do with the POWER THAT BE,be it at federal,state&local and in which theirs is no way HE IS INDEPEDENT whereas the other is dealing with a CLIQUE who are strictly BUSINESS MOGULS out their to reap off people and somehow INDEPENDENT.
So,to me the two are great NIGERIANS.

Thank you. Simple, factual, and straight to the point.

Most successful businessmen are ruthless.

angel101:
And what has he done to touch the lives of the less priviledged in the society? who cares what he is worth if it makes no difference to the society in which he lives?!

He employs a lot of Nigerians in his factories. Lots of Nigerians have made money from trading in shares of his company. He is building Refineries.

It's not a rumour. The new e-passport is an ECOWAS passport.
