Surprise , surprise !!! Shocking to see "democratic" Jonathan working for the ambitions of an undemocratic election rigger who should be in jail if , according to Femi Falana, Nigerian Courts have the integrity to invoke relevant clauses that would ensure election riggers are punished and disqualified from contesting further elections. Next , the fans of Jonathan will come here to say he is strenghtening our democracy when Nigerians only see desperate actions from a man determined to be President in 2011 by all means possible!!!

What is your biz?
It is an in house matter and would be resolved as a family affair.
PDPD is one and they will present a united front in the end.
All that matters is that Uduaghan is loyal to the president and that Mr. President deals with the matter using his legendary wisdom and tact.

DapoBear:
I don't mind an increase in quantity. But I think private industry (by this, I really mean non-profits, say churches, foreign universities looking to expand here, etc) should be driving the increase in supply, not the federal gov't.

i mind the increase in quantity.
we don't need it presently.
an increase in qaulity vis a vis a reduction in quantity is needed.
how can states that can't even pay workers salary fund universities in a era when you want to drive quality?

Kobojunkie:
Why do we keep allowing the same caliber of people into our lives year after year? How can anyone who truly understands the problem with the system come up with these ideas?

in the past we complained about the quality of our leaders, saying they were illiterates.
Now we have the most educated bunch talking so much rubbish that you begin to worry for their sanity.
I still cannot get my head around these comments of hers.
44 universities??
are you kidding me?
what do these people smoke?

Mai Suya:
Apart from things fall apart which other book authored by Achebe can be considered a masterpiece, worthy the coveted prize?

As a lay person I would even place Chidimma Adiche above Ben Okri.

therein lies the problem.
You are ill equipped to make that decision.

must you drag the daugther into this?

if she has a foundation and so effing what? the last time i checked, some people diagnosed with cervical cancers have benefitted from whatever shes doing. This is about Emmanuel and not Orode

@Topic
i dont know the kinda system we have but i think if Uduaghan wins again, the system has susccesfully initiated plans to have him as Guvnor for the next 12 years. Pray he doesnt win cos if he does, yawa

how come Ogboru wasnt declared as winner?

na wa

He did not ask for that from the court, i guess.
His prayer was for his lordships to nullify the result as there was no election in Delta state to warrant a result.

wales:
It is a welcome development and a bold step to balance the inequality in the education sector but more effort is needed in this sector that rotten away because of corruption and mismagement.Mr. minister go back to the drawing board and restrategise.

I am still trying to get my head around how this is a welcome development.
At least half of the universities(especially the state ones) need to be closed down ASAP and the present funding increased and divided around the remaining half.
The quality of our university education needs to be urgently addressed if we are to make any headway as a developing nation.
Schools are being established for purely political reasons, underfunded and poorly managed.
No one who has visited at least three of the state universities in the last 3 years will call this a welcome development.
Some times i just wonder for our leaders.
You begin to wonder what they are high on?
Ordinarily intelligent people just make very senseless decisions and try to sound convinced about them.
Any sane person would prefer that school leavers stay at home for a year or even two and be assured that when they get into school, they will come out well educated and equipped to contribute to the economy.
We will just end up building more schools, churn out more illiterates, increases the number of ASUU strikes and general unrest in the polity.

oh God!! Not this stale argument again.
better writers have been passed for this prize.

Jarus, i would appreciate your view on this post.
Thanks.

i don't care about Uduaghan or Clarke.
They are secondary in the scheme of this matter.
more importantly, Justice delayed is bloody denied.
this is insane. five months to a new election, we have lived through 3.5 yrs of illegality.
The Judiciary is high on something cheap.
At this rate, the Judiciary not even corrupt politicians will wreck this our nascent democracy.
There is just no way we can defend this atrocity.
Our judiciary needs a total overhaul.There must be clarifications in the electoral act that ensure that electoral appeals at all levels MUST end within 60 days after the election.
No ifs, no buts, no exceptions.
If we need to increase the number of judges of the appellate courts, bloody well do it.
put an end to all these silly 2 months adjournment and increase the number of courts.
I think it is about time we set our sights voices and keyboards on this lousy judiciary of ours without taking our eyes off the political elite.
This lousy judiciary must be put in check.

AjanleKoko:
Blaugrana vs the Yellow Submarine. My men Joseba Llorente and the 'Cap', Joan Cap De Villa, against the Blue and Claret Army.
Both sides will go hard, Villareal if they win can leapfrong Barcelona to 2nd, while the Cules need to keep the pressure on against the Mourinho babes.

Barca takes the points here. We're in the Zero Tolerance Mode now. Come to Camp Nou, collect your goals, and go your way. If you're lucky, we will do just 2 or 3 and end it there. Else, if you like look for trouble and try to score a goal (that stubborn Llorente). Na 3 goals for any goal scored we dey do now.

your get mouth die.
i will be keeping a keen eye on my boy Guiseppe Rossi.

The criminals who attacked have put some people into pain and put some people out of jobs.

Afren is one of the few companies that  encourage Locals and indigenous participation in the oil and gas industry.

Freedom fighters criminals have set the stage for a new level of criminality in Nigeria. Where's Ateke Tom, Asari to see the rewards of their violent campaign. It will probably never stop

until we learn to stop calling criminality militancy and criminals freedom fighters, this monster will continue to grow bigger and bigger.
Where did you ever see freedom fighters become millionaires in the course of the fight? only in ND.
Have you ever understood the ideology behind their struggle?
It is all about the Benjamins.

the story is confirmed.
the boys said they were protesting there amnesty allowance.

Novice1:
I don't buy the story about how the reporter jammed the kidnapper. Sounds like they are pallies

he might even have cooked up the story.
the guy sounds too polished in the interview.
but this is who militants start in naija.

dayokanu:
Spot on.

When you start a militia, You only know the beginning, You cant know the end. Even the offshoots might end up being out of control

mikeansy:
^^^^^^

There is a universal lesson for all. Never support any armed group that is not an organised Army; they usually turn around to hunt their own people.

Osisikankwu is a lesson in case, he was in Uwazurike's Massob.

BokoHaram is currently busy killing Moderate Muslim Sheiks in Borno and Bauchi

MEND are now at risk of bringing down an Ijaw man's Presidency. You can loose sleep over real and fake MEND all you like but all of these are a fall out of the lawlessness that ensued in the ND.

It is possible to have other forms of civil disobedience to bring down a Government or change some policies without enthroning criminals as Freedom Fighters.

It is a lesson for all.

This is exactly how the ND militancy started.
you start a fire you cannot quench.
When politicians were arming criminals for myopic political ends they thought they were being smart, almost a decade after it started the monster has grown bigger than its creators, irrespective of various looting schemes (JTF, Amnesty etc).
People who live outside the shores of ND defend bare faced criminality and call it militancy yet the masses in ND live in fear of kidnapping and gun fire every waking minute.
You only need to realise that the fatalities of these criminal acts that make it to the media are only a fraction of what is happening (do you know how many doctors have been kidnapped in PH recently? ).
The next thing, this killer will be fully transformed into a freedom fighter and be recruited by one blood thirsty politician and the orgy of violence and criminality will spiral beyond even the control of our inept and politicised security agencies.
I hope someone kills this man soon and that the media refuse to listen to him in the interim.
granting publicity to the likes of Asari, Boyloaf and Ateke Tom is a major reason why criminality masquerading as militancy is still thriving.

We must elect a govt that has the moral and political will to deal with this monster before it consumes us all.

Beaf:
This is a bit too unrefined and gutter like.

you are right.
I withdraw that inappropriate comment.
my apologies.

This thread is giving me migraine.

oyb:
olodo

can you not read?

where is the fct ministers name in the article?  

feasibility study ode. did you not read those threads

or should i post those pics of the made in nigeria dustbins being used in vgc

pathetic hypocrite - as long as you are from my region, you can do no wrong - people like you are the reason nigeria is failing

i hope you follow saint gej's lead and blow your money on home videos rather than school books for your kids

in any event, you reasoning has repeatedly been proved to be subpar with those of our musicians, so why should i be surprised

you IBB supporter.
shame on you for siding against the anointed of God, and a breath of fresh air.
shame on you 

He is entitled to a social life.

Mobinga:
Someone sent me a hate mail, because of this issue. . . This is a bleeping DAFT MOVE!!!

very daft move indeed.

redemption indeed.
these new set of pics look good.
i for wonder!!!

i like his hair.

Cougar:
hargo's hamstring was inevitable. this lad hasn't played in 2 years. the chances of him getting hamstrung is 95%. michael owen missed playing for 5 weeks and got hamstrung in his first training session. i am positive hargo will play again as long as it's not his knees that got troubled. players get hamstrung every now and then. it's part and parcel of the game.

I see you point as Hargreaves' four-minute misery underlines the susceptibility of players to niggling, relatively-minor injuries after a prolonged period on the sidelines. Given that so many of these sort of injuries seem to occur in matches rather than training, it's presumable that the stress of making a comeback is the tip that turns vulnerability into setback. But on the bold point,quite whether Sir Alex will adopt a sympathetic outlook is questionable, though. His description of Hargreaves' "disastrous" outing made without a single word of compassion would suggest that it will be a long time before he trusts in Hargreaves again. And, maybe, ever considering that his contract is up at the end of the season.
It is a shame.decent pro, on and off the pitch it seems.

No wonder they lost.
Wenger is arranging something good for himself.

Arsenal boss says claims are a ’serious matter’ .Arsene Wenger has released a statement addressing allegations published  this morning that the 61-year-old Arsenal manager has been having a two year affair with ‘glamorous French rap star’ Sonia Tatar, 39.

with all the money Basket makes, i was expecting a classier event.
I thought he was one classy guy.
Not like it is a big issue sha.It is his wedding and his life.
I wish him all the best in married life.


On another note, i like the hair.

babasoty:
how much has been poured into the education sector and its still in shambles, how much has been poured into our roads and its still death traps, and how much has been poured into nollywood and its the 3rd highest movie industry in the world ?

according tot your logic, we should quit fixing the road abi?
Why does this govt not have the moral and political will to bring to book all those who squandered the money allocated in the past for the repairs of these roads?
Do you not think that only then will present contractors know that the beat of the drum has changed and that dance steps ought to change?

monkeyleg:
@Beaf,



Priorities my friend, we have more pressing priorites. The Benin - ore road is the single most important road in this country. countless lives have been lost there, not to mention the total insecurity on that road. is it more important than investing in Nollywood? the answer is a Big Yes.

$200M  well spent on that road will transform it, and have far reaching consequences than this wasteful. What about $200m invested into our Unity schools, which used to be centres of excellence in our country.

Oga has got it very wrong again, and you are here trying to defend him. Well done

these are things that need time, patience and understanding, not the flick of a pen. In the meantime, the country needs to invest in areas outside oil, which is proving not to be enough to repair that road.After all, according to the logic of this govt, enough people have not died on that road yet.
It will be repaired but not yet.Just exercise patience.
Maybe after the contract for christmas fireworks is awarded (for which there will be a probe afterwards), a presidential panel will be formed to visit the road and ascertain the seriousness of its disrepair, maybe then a contract might be awarded.
My brother, exercise patience, after all that is the name of the first lady.These things are not done by the flick of a pen.    

GEJ for life!!!!!

ritchboy:
Anyone comparing Hernandez' ability to Vela must not have had the[b] privilege of watching Vela play in his natural element(second striker).
[/b]
Go and watch how Vela was obliterating all and sundry in the League Cup/FA Cup in 08/09 while scoring wonder goals for fun(one of them voted among Arsenal's 50 greatest goals of all time, and believe me, Arsenal have scored some truly stunning goals). . . an absolute gem of a player

Wenger switching to 4-3-3 since last season has not helped his cause at all. . . I can only imagine how clueless a player like Chicharito would look on the left wing. . .

Of course, Chicharito scoring some goals at the start of the season gave publishers all the ammo they needed to sell their papers/milk web-traffic from gullible fans. We heard the same rubbish about Macheda not so long ago, how is he faring by the way?

you seem high on something cheap.
Vela has no natural position, he is a natural disaster who is lazy to boot.
Wenger has played him all over the park and the result has been unmitigated disaster.
natural position, my foot.

neighbour, how market today?

Am i imagining it or did O'Shea tackle Fletcher for Wolves' goal?

ritchboy:
The only one disgracing himself here is you with your moronic Vela/Bebe comparison. . .

Cos Hernandez manage score a few goals some mugus think he's the best thing since sliced akara.

Hernandez is a run-of-the-mill poacher and will never amount to anything more than that, because his technique/overall ability is very limited, compared to Vela at least.

Whether current ability or potential, Vela is light years ahead of Hernandez.

I blame Wenger for playing the boy out of position, if not you wouldnt even be making such a retarded comparison.

shhh,
stop calling Wenger's name in vain.
Vela has repeatedly proven to be lazy and useless for 3 seasons.
Even in carling cup games he is crap.
out of position?
which one is his position?
he has played all over the park and remains useless all over.
3 seasons and still crap.
Bebe can never be as bad at the end of this season.
