moderatorr: if mr. President didn't say a thing on the blasts critics will still talk.
Why is attention on the president when kaduna state has a governor and police commisioner?
Those people will never do their duties until all attention turn to them.
The Juvernor was quick in declaring a curfew but not quick in protecting his people.

Ivynwa: You guys shouldn't even get started on some tribal hatings in a sensitive thread like this, what is wrong with you black people and your level of hating one another? People are getting killed off by their brothers and country men and you are here pouting on each other "your tribe this, your tribe that". Enough, guys please!

ballabriggs: Why kill the innocent man on the street? Why not take your war to BH's den in Maiduguri or wherever they may be hiding. This reprisal would make 'igbo smoking' Pastor Oritsejafor happy, it is what he had always wanted. This reprisals only tell me one thing, the terrorists are winning.

0k2NVme: BIG LIE!
The flight in question never overshot the runnway.
The airport runway lightning system is currently being rehabilitated.
A section of the 4000m runnway has been cordoned off leaving about 2600m and just one runway for landings and takeoffs (RWY04).
Also a taxiway leading to the domestic apron has been closed. A NOTAM was issued by the relevant agency notifying pilots on this development.
The BA pilot in question DID NOT overshoot the runnway but intended to use the closed taxiway. On getting to it he met it closed. Since the aircraft can't reverse and there was no way of towing the aircraft by the handlers (Nahco or Sahcol) Tower was notified and the services of Julius Berger were notified.

Simple.

Thank you jare. Foolish journalist wan give us heart attack again. Do they think it is a joke.

Jonwesley: If u do not understand dis issue, why not keep quiet. Imagine what u posted. Lame talk.

Kobojunkie: We are not saying the same thing. You are saying that he should now, and I am saying that was all he could do before this fiasco and still remains the only thing he can do even with this fiasco.

On ironing out the fiasco first, I don't think that is possible. You have to consider the companies in question were on the list BEFORE the date the 'sting' supposedly took place.

On his evidence, I have not seen it so I cannot comment on it. But whether Lawan is found guilty or not, that does not and should not remove from his companies involvement, or none, in the Fuel Subsidy mirage the country as a whole is still trying to make sense of.

Kobojunkie: What in the world are you on about again? Otedola's companies had the chance to fight the recommendations in the courts to begin with. This does not change anything of that. Whether all his companies are put back on the list, or the EFCC instead investigates 2 of them, that he was fingered gives him power to take the issue to the courts where it will all be decided.

His having video evidence of some scandal does not, and should not change any of the findings during the probe.

juman: "Rogues and criminals"

Kobojunkie: Are you suggesting that the Otedola firms were innocent to begin with?

Billyonaire: Its crazy, constitution says 2 terms of 4yrs each meaning 8yrs, there is no provision for more than that. Telling us what we already know. Over to opposition bigots. Am warming up for sectional rhetorics.

Kobojunkie: Technically, the video has him suggesting that they be removed from the list and handed directly over to the EFCC for investigation. He didn't just declare him NOT GUILTY as you suggest.

Nezan: Na wa-o for SLS. This is supposed to be an office setting.

dedeike: . This post was obviously done in extreme bad faith. What did Gej do to you again? A member of House of Reps, who prides himself as a leader of integrity, went behind to collect bribe at the residence of an oil marketer. Jonathan never sent him to do so. Neither did Gej assist him with the vehicle that he used to convey himself to adenuga's house at midnight to collect $600,00 dollars. The truth remains that GEJ has shown a demonstrable courage to fight corruption in Nigeria. But it's unfortunate that the northern power bloc who are displeased with his present tenancy in Aso rock is really working hard to whip up hatred against him . Unlike other presidents, Gej is the only president that doesn't throw money at the National Assembly to push his policies thru. If it were obj during the subsidy debate, we would have had gist of Ghana must go spreading around the lawmakers and subsidy would have sailed thru easily. Go and verify. Lawmakers were paid as much as 40 million before GEJ but when Gej came he reduced it to 15m quarterly before the lawmakers jerked it up in the 2012 budget to 29m quarterly. GEJ personally directed the EFCC to go after Bankole and prosecute him for the 10 billion loan scandal. When GEJ noticed that Farida was incompetent and so many graft cases were being mishandled, he sacked Farida and replaced her with Lamorde who is believed to have worked as second in command to Ribadu. It was this same Gej that signed the FOI bill into Law, a legislation which is a veritable instrument for the fight against corruption by a press that knows its onions. Thru the minister of finance, Gej's administration has been able to integrate online payment systems for all Ministries! Departments and Agencies. This govt is undertaking bio metric evaluation of workers in federal service, an exercise that exposed the monumental corruption in police pension. It was as a result of this move that the senate pensions probe was kick started. And unlike what obtained in the past, those indicted so far have been charged to court. following revelations at the subsidy probe, GEJ could not even wait for the report to come out before he set up a presidential task force to handle oil revenue. He appointed his opponent in the presidential elections in the person of Ribadu to head such committee. Which other president has or can display this selfless courage? Not done, he engaged Olisa Agbakoba , Udo Udoma And other experts in the private sector to formulate the PIB ahead of the full deregulation of the oil sector. It is believed that full deregulation will divest govt of control of the oil sector and thus curb corruption. GEJ's govt has offered the atmosphere for all kinds of probes to be initiated in the system. GEJ is not the kind of president who will want to bulldoze anybody into submission. Under this govt, you re free to initiate any probe whatsoever. To reduce. Corruption in the system, Gej is the first president to have set up a committee to cut down the number of parastatals in the country. on the issue of subsidy report, it's funny how some people have politicized it in order to get at GEJ. Unlike previous govts in the past, this govt accepted a report from the National Assembly and even directed the Attorney General to review it and take necessary steps with the relevant anti graft agencies. But the opposition will hear none of that. Gej must enforce the report immediately as pronounced by lord justice Farouk lawan. Where on earth does the executive jail people on account of an inquiry undergone solely by the legislature without recourse to laid down judicial process. It's so funny. Imagine the kind of injustice that would have manifested if Gej had heeded the mob call for Deziani's sack in the light of the present scandal rocking the probe committee. Now any right thinking person would appreciate that it would have been very hasty for GEj to undertake an immediate implementation of recommendations based on a report submitted by a committee chairman, who talks tough in the afternoon and nicodemusly crawls to the residence of those under his probe at night to collect bribe.

isaco: You guys are so good. Now, i believe both of them are thieves. Therefore, listen to dis: Everybody is a thief, Goodluck a gentle thief, Otedola a business thief, Lawan an honurable thief, the committe a corporate thief, northerners are arrogant thieves, westerners are stylish thieves, easterners are intelligent thieves, niger deltans are militant thieves, mid belt are middle thieves, while you n I are patriotic thieves.!. . . To be continued. . .

Billyonaire: My brother, why cant they Boko Haram not just stop killing innocents, We understand they are fighting a course, which is to Islamitize Nigeria and make me a Muslim under Sharia law by force. Why cant they just stop the mayhem so the JTF can pull out.

Jakumo: This is a very astute observation, DanFulani. Till date, far more Muslims than Christians have been killed in Nigeria's current wave of bombings, so it is not too far-fetched to suspect the involvement of a politically-motivated Agent Provocateur [/b]such as Ayatollah Buhari Bin-Laden, who is certainly demented and sadistic enough to imagine that he can single-handedly spark off inter-tribal pogroms in Nigeria, all because of his bitterness that he will NEVER win so much as a local ward election for village dog-catcher.

Who I Go Ask?:
It's all about how well you package your self/company. (Do the following and you will make at least a million naira (sales) in your first year. (if you are good as you think.) PS: some Tech personnel sucks at marketing. So you can form a partnership with a non tech person

1. You MUST have a website where you showcase your recent works and the services you offer
2. You should register your company and open a company/corporate account with a bank.
3. You should use WE often instead of I, even if it's a one man business. Say stuff like our technical team will..., our sales rep will... , our Legal adviser will...,
4. Predesign some websites eg for churches, schools (SMS), Dating site, e-commerce etc.
Prepare a proposal and try to sell one of your products eg. SMS to a school., Dating site to some school guy, church site to a new generation church, etc
Also when trying to pitch a sale, go with a lady and yourself (or a guy if you are a lady) and dress corporate.
5. After few installations, use words like ' we just complete Example High School's website..., people tend to buy when they see their competition buying.
6. Do some cheap/free jobs at first to promote your brand.
7. ALWAYS deliver quality even if they are paying less
8. Innovate or Die (IT rule- currently killing yahoo, growing google,)
9. Use/Learn SMM social media marketing. You dont need google ads, you need SMM
10. to be contd. typing on phone aint easy.

Torch1: my broda! This one na big Tufiakwa! They scored at 89minutes and yet they couldn't defend it for d next 4mins.. How could they allow Malawi to score in 93mins? Am disappointed! Tufiakwa! Tufiakwa!! Tufiakwa!!!

khadaffi: Seriously did the minister of transport said this?

khadaffi: Seriously did the minister of transport said this?

Sisi_Kill: Lol @ NL is losing credibility. . .like NL ever positioned itself as the last bastion for the Holy Truth.

In case you missed missed the memo. . .this is A FORUM. . .geddit? A FORUM where everyone and their mama can post anything they want. You'd have to be the ultimate eeediot to expect anything but people's opinion on any issues and an even bigger ultimate eeediot to be disappointed NL is place people are allowed to post their opinions.

How you wish there was another Forum? How about creating one, oh ye great one of unsurpassable intellect?

Gbawe: Well said. To be honest, I think it is those defending GEJ blindly doing the President the greatest disservice. I often wonder about the world exposure, beyond Nigeria, of most Nairalanders. You don't need to have travelled the world but surely the information age should reveal what is going on elsewhere to all of us !!!!

In which Nation is a President allowed to weakly captitulate to one of the greatest headache of a nation via announcing that "leaner Government not possible" when bloated and profligate Governance is crippling his Country?

Where would it be possible for a President to openly admit supporters/sponsors of terrorists have infiltrated "every level" of his Government yet no one sees any effort to expose and deal with these animals helping to murder Nigerians with impunity?


Where do we see a Government genuinely keen on change and "transformation, in a very corrupt Nation, going to hire a very corrupt Attorney General of the Federation , with a mediocre career, when Nigeria is blessed with many outstanding legal Practitioners with excellent records?

Why will a serious Government , in a nation where the comatose condition of National refineries is a major headache, concede , for two years, the overhaul of those refineries into the hands of singularly the most hideously corrupt public agency in Nigeria i.e the NNPC? Is that not idi.ocy and a deliberate attempt to fail? I.e putting the Fox in charge of the Chickens?

We all saw the rioters who caused a national problem and international embarrassment for the UK quickly apprehended and jailed. Same should apply to fuel subsidy scammers who have done far worse than the UK rioters in my opinion with how they have seriously threatened the economic wellbeing of Nigerians. Yet an openly corrupt AGF, part of the scam himself, prevaricates shamelessly while supported by a complicit President !!!!!


The list of the ridiculous actions of GEJ that shows ,without doubt, his compromised leadership is very long and we would be here all day discussing such but I think folks get my gist.

To the extent GEJ is failing abysmally, the only option open to a politically sophisticated people who shun sentiments and partisanship is for us all to give him 'tough love' by speaking with a uniform voice in telling him he is failing and showing where he he is failing. Instead that cannot happen because we have many ethnic jingoist, paid sycophants and bigoted fools, thinking they are fighting the "Yarobus" and "almajiris" via supporting GEJ blindly, ready to shamelessly mitigate for every failure or wrongful action of the Presidency without a single thought for what obtains elsewhere that is birthing the progress others, previously similar to us, are now enjoying.


Let the sycophants, ethnic jingoists and sectionally biased supporters keep it up. They have a chance to help GEJ succeed and all they do, like the Abati's and Maku's of the world, is to 100% contribute to the inevitable failure of GEJ with how they tell him his robe is "stunning" and "beautiful" when Mr. President is stark naked in public. "Goodluck" to Nigeria. "Goodluck" to Nairalanders.
