TayoD,
I made my categorisation based on actions by these parties irrespective of what they did later by way of apologies. If someone kills my child, the person is a murderer and it doesn't matter whether he shows remorse or not.

Wrong! the difference is intent. If I intended to kill your child, then that makes it murder. if your child died by accident due to my actions, that's manslaughter.

The difference between Isreal/US and Orgs like Alquaida is that the former target militarily important places while the latter will target any place that has minimum security where it can get a large number of people. This desperation to class the US/Isreal as terrorists is laughable at best.

Easyy:
What some consider terrorism is consedered warfare by others. We need to be clear and not use different yardsticks for measuring things. If people are in a war situation, they use whatever means they can to try and achieve victory.

It is not warfare to place a bomb in a bus or train during rush hour to kill as many people as posible. If Isreal and America used the same idealogy, they would just drop N Bombs and save themselves the time and money. You think Al-quaida will have second thoughts on using Chemical or Nuclear weapons?

How exactly are satellite pictures supposed to give you a population figure. All they would give you is an idea of where population concentrations are.

You think it was Atiku that stopped the so called third term? LOL

I guess w'll have to wait till the results are released classed on a regional basis. I bet that figure will have been influed by the Nothern Region where the men would've have kept most of their wives away from census officials.

Why is that? It is generally accepted that the population is between 120-150m people.

@Ejarune
You wanted to know? View the quote below for one reason.

babasin:
We love outsiders more than we love ourselves!!

simple example:

Nigeria and other colonies fought for British against the Germans during the World Wars I & 11.

Yet, British love/treat with respect the Germans more than they do for the former African-colonies.

Compare British contribution with EU and Commonwealth!

Some of us are still stuck in a moment hundreads of centuries in the past. Blaming others for our situation. Look at India, look at the new SE Asian Tigers. All these countries except China were once Colonies of Western Europe as well. Yet they are striving high and we are still talking nonsense about the "white man's" conspiracy against Africa.

LOL. Simply unbelievable.

@4 Play
Hang in there. It appears to be a huge task to educate him but, he can't keep running round in cirlces. Eventually, somehow, something will light up upstairs. 

Easyy:
BTW there are very many poor nations who take lots more refugees than America does.

And where does the money that takes care of those refugees come from?

LoverBwoy:
and i think america only intervened in the kosovo and bosnia region becuase they were part of nato, just like U.N in any other country really

Are you saying Kosovo and Bosnia are part of NATO? Cause that would be extremely wrong. Kosovo is not even a country.

Without the US, there is no NATO and without the US, there is no UN.

Indeed 4 Play indeed. Oh by the way, the is a supposed "truce" in Gaza. A truce that terrorists see as only binding to Israel.

When Isreal responds, watch for the noise Hamas and Iran will start making.

@otokx
The line does not start from Ogun. The first phase is from Lagos to Kano. Or are you reffering to this? http://www.guardiannewsngr.com/news/article20
And are you now suggesting they closed PH airport to punish/"do something" to N. Deltans? Wow Nigerians never cease to amaze me.

Satellite pictures can show population concentrations which can give you an idea of relative population sizes.

LoverBwoy:
What is the manifesto of any party in nigeria?

youve just cancelled everyone out so who is your alternative? Duke ? who is a member of a party that made an agreement to zone the presidency?

This is what I've been trying to figure out. The opposition parties are mostly a waste of space. Without strong opposition, the PDP appears able to control almost exclusively all state affiars in the country. The strongest opposition to the PDP seems to come from demorcratic activists. Our demorcracy is still young though.

So Atiku has fled to America?

Although it paints us in a bad light, I can't say the warning isin't accurate to the best of my knowledge. It's a real shame.

otokx:
Why should an administration that is about 5 months to go awarding a contract it will not be in a position to see to the end? Why do we keep deceiving ourselves? Why? Why? Why? State of the Art what?

What has that got to do with it? A contract is a contract, weather you're there to watch it get completed or not. Or are you saying that whoever awarded the contract should be in government for the next 10+ years? Seeing as that's how long it will take to complete the new line.

abiodunade:
Omofineboy, good point, mariory does not know the law.

Ok what the hell? One of the quotes I posted is from Gani. I never said the PDP has the constitutional power to remove the VP. In fact I am clueless on what the constitution allows in a situation like this. I simply posted sections of the constitution as quoted in the articles.

READ THE DARN LINKS BEFORE FORMING CONCLUSIONS.

[b]Under Section 142 sub-sections (1) and (2) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999, he must be of the same political party with the President for him to be elected with the President.
“He has torn asunder that platform thereby violating Section 142 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 by moving from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to Action Congress (AC).

“This can be a reason for him to vacate his office as Vice President within the provision of Section 146 subsection (3)(c) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 and in that respect the President will be justified to nominate another person to be appointed the Vice President with the approval of the National Assembly.

“For ease of reference, I refer to Section 146(3) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 and I emphasise subsection (3)(c) as follows:
“146 (3) Where the office of Vice-President becomes vacant —

(A) by reason of death or resignation, impeachment, permanent incapacity or removal in accordance with section 143 or 144 of this Constitution;

(b) by his assumption of the office of President in accordance with subsection (1) of this section; or

(c) for any other reason.”
“It is my view that the Vice President has lost his office by his declaration for Action Congress (AC) and he should vacate that office to enable a new Vice President to be appointed.”[/b]

[b]“Well, Atiku is finished. He has finally fallen into the trap. The PDP is going to expel him and ask the president to immediately nominate another VP, because he was sponsored to that position by the PDP and now he has abandoned it,” the source said, adding: “The presidency is to argue that he has contravened section 142 of the constitution. And the only thing Atiku can do is to go to court, which may take time before the issue is addressed,” said the source.

Section 142 (1) says: “In any election to which the forgoing provisions of this part of this chapter relate, a candidate for an election to the office of president shall not be deemed to be validly nominated unless he nominates another candidate as his associate from the same political party for his running for the office of president, who is to occupy the office of Vice President and that candidate shall be deemed to have been dully elected to the office of vice president if the candidate for an election to the office of president who nominated him as such associate is duly elected as president in accordance with the provisions aforesaid.”[/b]

Does the constitution stipulate that the VP be allowed access to the jet?

Jaybaba:
This railway is a a white elephant project. Most of us do not read the news and all the details contained therein. Only last year, a Canadian firm offered to build a better track and supply international coaches that run on LNG for Nigeria.

trains that run on Liquified Natural Gas? That's the first time I've heard of that.

panafrican:
Mister- Know- everything! please ! The same reasoning that says HIV originated from africa. Your so called scientific evidence belong to KKK approach when it comes to put all the blame on the "black continent ".

Mister- Know nothing please. The same reasoning that allows us to be used morons by people spinning popular rethoric. I simply posted what I saw in the same link the thread starter posted. I follow the science because it does not lie and is not subject to retarded sentiments.

I really don't care about your 'evil white man' ideaology. I don't care about demonstrations, the origin of aids, or the colour of your shoes. People are people as far as I'm concerned. white, black, green or yellow.

[quote author=jas_o link=topic=33612.msg770710#msg770710 date=1166654280]I'm very disappointed that most guys in this room seems to be ignorance of the country present situation.[/quote]I agree jas_o. Like I've said before. There are Nigerians that are addicted to suffering. Atiku for president? God forbid.

ZuluNation:
I wonder how much the paying you to say all this nonsense. Or maybe you a Hausa man because all the changes and improved infrastructure you talking about only happens in the North. The last time I was in Anambra sate my home state I didn't see any of those.

So why aren't you blaming your state government?

You ignored the part where scientific evidence showed that HIV was already present in that location long before the nurses arrived there.

Not that I'm saying he's clean or anything but, GOODLUCK JONATHAN'S wife is not the same as GOODLUCK JONATHAN. Technically he isin't under investigation.

Donzman:
Suprisingly, the only person making sense here is Afam. The rest of you (4Play) are just saying things that are not supported by facts.

LMFAO. I almost fell out of my chair reading that. So Afam is the one posting facts? LOL LOL LOL LOL. Oh dear God, everyone is a comedian these days.

Oh boy, on to more important stuff. The people of Iran have sent a message to that extremist, loud mouth talker president of theirs

Good call Havila. Spend your time on something worth while.

Reformists and moderates continue to lead in Iran.

Good news! The mentally balanced have regained some control in Iran.

Do you guys know what distant learning is? It means he can study outside of the classroom or lecture hall whatever you want to call it. Basically he will study from Aso ock and then from otta farms.

A party trying to hang on to power acts in strange ways. Politics is never clean. Way of the world I'm afraid. Looks like they've gone for what will gaurantee the most votes at the elections. Duke will have to wait for another opportunity.
