Ndipe:
The degradation of the African culture when Nigerians start hiring strippers in their setting. Must we adopt every western culture in our lifestyle?

And what in God's name leads you to believe African culture is without nudity?

graciella:
YOu people should stop criticising this man abeg.

Why? Since when do sincere pastors, evangelists, reverend fathers etc earn enough money to purchase a Humvee?

Donzman:
When the West decide to destroy Zimbabwe's economy because Mugabe decided to give justice to his people, what do you expect?. . .Whites had no right to that land in the first place, getting rid of them is the RIGHT thing to do. You took it by force and slavery, you shall return it.

I really don't know where people like you get this attitude. When will people learn to accept responsibility for their own failures rather than blame others. The facts are there to see. Mugabe destroyed the economy of that country by giving farm lands to people who know nothing about farming just to win popular support. Now a country that used to have enough food to export cannot feed itself without importing food. And you're blaming the West?

Donzman:
Mugabe is a solid determined leader and I admire him.

The craziest, most saddistic, and wicked leaders throughout history have been determined leaders as well.

Lagos State Claims in 2006 Children 0-5 years = 3,186.195

Where did you get these figures?

Lagos has released their census results
"The Lagos State government on Monday released its own population census figure of 17, 553, 924, based on the parallel head count conducted by it, stating that the population census figure earlier released by the National Population Commission was an insult on citizens of Lagos State. Describing the entire project as another barren exercise, the Lagos State governor, Bola Tinubu, at a stakeholders' forum/world press conference/ book launch, said the state government would use every arsenal at its disposal to fight against the "injustice perpetrated against the state by the National Population Commission result." The book entitled "Falsification of Lagos Census Figure" was presented to stakeholders to show every detail of how the state government arrived at the 17, 553, 924 figure."

Breaking news from the Guardian front page.

debosky:
No mate, we can disagree, unlike what we'll have under your jackboot, totalitarian buhari

No one has spoken of Yar'Adua and what he has achieved/not achieved; simply writing him off because he is Obj's candidate is not sufficient

afterall, the northern elite chose Obj, and he didn't dance to their tune. Buhari was not a fair leader, and a soldier is always a soldier

whether he wears white babariga or not.

please someone should come up with Yar'Adua's antecedents/performances as a civillian elected governor

Only analytical info I could find.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070129/lf_nm/nigeria_yaradua_dc

I'm have no idea of how much is true in these links.

Piddo:
This is a simple case of being caught between the devil and the deep blue sea. The major power behind Obasanjo's rise to Aso Rock was the support of the late Yar'Adua's mammoth PDM. Leadership of this movement was handed over to Atiku (somehow) and that was why he got the VP slot in the first place with the promise that after the first term, he will take over as President. Now OBJ has brought out an obscure (but full blooded) Yar'Adua jnr merely to checkmate Atiku's power in the PDM. Problem is, in eight years, we never heard anything of this Yar'Adua and I for one didnt even know he was a serving governor. Is this the timid man we expect to rule over the beast called Nigeria? That was a master stroke by OBJ and in my own view, its a defacto third term for OBJ as he will continue to call the shots from Abeokuta.

Interesting. Are you suggesting that because he wasn't one of the governors in the limelight, he is automatically weak, timid, and easily manipulated?

It was funny because it's true. There isin't much else you can do when the useless heads of such states are protected by an even more useless immunity clause.

texazzpete:
c'mon. most of them are dunces and rogues. why single this guy out?
You sound so strident on this issue. Someone pay you to do this?

Not necessarily. He's got a point. If someone told me Atiku had hmm say Syphilis. The first thought in my head would be poor Syphilis. I haven't seen anyone display this kind of desperation not even IBB. It's disgusting.

I was laughing my ass off when I read the news. The topic should be corrected though to reflect that this article is on Rivers State. Rivers state budget last year, is larger than the budgets of some West African countries.

kaecy5:
well afam the problem with most of our pro American Nigerians is that they probably r only exposed to american press which off course would be pro bush just as NTA sees OBJ as a dermi god

how come Clinton did not generate this amount of enemies

Pro-American or anti-American. Your statement above is entirely false.

[sacarsm]No doubt, wanting to so desperately win the election due to held in about 3 months has nothing to do with it.[/sacarsm]
It is not compulsory for him to be president of Nigeria. It is not his destiny. It is not his birth right. He can go to hell for all I care.

This the same person that requested gun boats from China when America refused to provide the weapons unconditionally. Why is this guy so desperate to be president?

http://search.ft.com/ftArticle?page=2&queryText=Atiku&y=8&aje=false&id=060228001088&x=11
"Atiku Abubakar, Nigeria's vice-president, told the Financial Times the US had been too slow to help protect the oil-rich Niger Delta from a growing insurgency. He said talks with the US over security plans for the region did not "appear to be moving as fast as the situation is unfolding" and Nigeria was instead sourcing military equipment elsewhere."

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-5553.32.html
"Meanwhile, the Federal Government has turned to China for military hardware to protect oil facilities in the troubled Niger Delta.

The recourse to China for arms, according to Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, follows the failure of the United States to help Nigeria in protecting the oil sector.

Abubakar, in an interview with the Financial Times, published on Monday, said the US had been too slow in assisting in protecting the Niger Delta from the spate of attacks by militants."

@McKren
He is not as unpopular as you think. He has his supporters. They just don't make as much noise on the forums as the Atiku and IBB supporters cause they are mostly busy using the revitalised economy to find their feet.

Atiku is no better than shit. They both stink but shit doesn't talk crap like Atiku does.

stranger12 don't waste your time. Atiku has confused some Nigerians but, not enough to prevent his eventually downfall.

magneto:
@ topic - yea right! *rolls eyes*, MAGNETO FOR PRESIDENT!! _{now thats more like it}

LMFAO!

4 Play:
How odd.Same people who expressed misgivings about the hanging of Saddam Hussein,a mass murderer, are not outraged over the hanging of a human being for drug smuggling.

Makes you wonder doesn't it? Some of those same people were also on the other thread saying Rev king deserved the death sentence he got. Reminds you of a little something called hypocrisy.

LMAO!

It's getting there though.

stanech:
I used to think OBJ has an empty brain, now I know that Atiku's brain is an empty shell.
No problem with him inviting foreigners (US) sha oh but the truth still remain his dumbass will not enter Aso rock again and that is final

Can't argue with the truth when it's so frankly stated.

The papers this morning said there was a massive turnout of voters looking to register in some States in the North. When they vote and their own choice surpasses that of yours, are you still going to come here and complain?

bindex:
i like him because if not for him the bastard obasanjo would have been playing God. we need more people like atiku to stop him

What a blatant lie. What did he do to stop Obasanjo? What?

@gidig
I guarantee none of those defending the results for Kano and Lagos will speak on the logical, scientific, or mathematical points raised against the results. Check the thread. Not one has any answer to how this anomaly is possible. If this happened in Nature, we would be calling it a mutation, a freak of nature, abnormal etc.

Trust neither.

@MARIORY (BLACKNESS) (no need to be defensive, we both know who you are)

Big B1:
@MARIORY (sweet heart)

I do not blame Atiku for this move; I would have done the same.

I'm not gay so don't address me as your sweet heart. You don't get it. The FBI is Domestic. It's jurisdiction is American Soil. Atiku's camp is full of idiots if stories like these are how they plan to get him of the hook.

I'm laughing my ass off here. The FBI? LOL LOL LOL. An American DOMESTIC investigative outfit is going to protect a foreign national on foreign soil from the foreign nations own security outfits. My God, even our news editors lack basic intelligence. The daily sun isn't worth using to wipe my ass with.

buluti:
I dare say that his analysis does not give a true representation of the issues since he has avoided the life threatening factor that affects population "prevalence of diseases".

Thank you. No one can yet explain how Kano has achieved a low mortality to high fertility rate while maintaining the highest (non-third world) standard of living in the country. If we are to believe the census results, I sure would like to know how they accomplished such a feat.
No one can yet explain how Lagos in the same period has achieved a high mortality to low fertility rate while maintaining a "Nigerian" standard of living. Am I correct in assuming Lagos has more functioning Hospitals?
