Politics / American University Of Medical Sciences In Nigeria by mekuszyx: 1:31am On Feb 12, 2010 |
Medical varsity to gulp $650m From Bukola Olatunji in Abuja, 02.11.2010 Thursday, February 11, 2010 A group of Nigerians in the Diaspora have come together to establish the first American University of Medical Sciences in the country. The institution is billed to cost $650 million and will be sited in Abuja. The promoter, Dr. Ifeanyi Obiakor, who led other members of the Planning Committee to the National Universities Commission (NUC) yesterday, said $100 million will be invested in the teaching hospital, while the rest will go into the university proper. Executive Secretary of the NUC, Prof. Julius Okojie, said the commission has been encouraging experts in the Diaspora to come home and invest. Since the country is moving from all-purpose to specialised universities and having seen what the promoters of the proposed university are doing in New York, Okojie said they were invited to come and make their contribution. Chairman of the Planning Committee and former Vice Chancellor of the University of Port Harcourt, Prof. Nimi Briggs, said the university, which is expected to take off within two years, will be world class, with curricula that are comparable to any in the world. kijjjbb[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font] b |

babapupa: Just a mere discussion between you and I and you already call me sick. You see that you are guilty as well? I have more of your insults I can pull up, but it does not solve any problem. Just stop complaining and face the reality that anybody is liable to criticism. Fasola and Awo are not gods. They are mortals. |

Babapupa, If you feel you have not insulted anyone in those posts, why should anyone feel they have insulted you? If you have not asked anyone not to talk about Yoruba people, have I asked anyone not to talk about Igbo people? Have other Yorubas asked anyone not to talk about Yoruba people. Yes Have other Igbos asked anyone not to talk about Igbos? Probably yes What then is your problem when the equation is balanced? If you want anyone to stop talking about Yoruba, then secede from Nigeria and form an Oduduwa country. As long as it is one naija, man must talk. |

From BAbapupa https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-363567.96.html Juvenile diatribe is talking nonsense with out facts and documented evidence. People are not silly and they'll always call you to back up your lies with facts. https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-364225.0.html What else is there to do when you have nothing to show about yourself or your village but tirelessly and endlessly ransack the internet to dig up stuff about other people to make you feel better about your own existence? |

Politics / Akunyili Opens Up On Memo To Fec by mekuszyx: 2:47am On Feb 08, 2010 |
If I die I die: Dora Akunyili, the woman that sacked the president, opens up on Yar’Adua memo By Pade Olapuju padepoju@yahoo.com Sunday, February 7, 2010 When Information and Communications Minister, Prof Dora Akunyili, presented her memorandum asking her colleagues to wake up to their responsibility to the Nigerian nation, tempers flared and voices were raised. Some of the ministers rose from their seats so their voices would carry in the chambers of the Executive Council of the Federation (EXCOF). Some rained insults on her. A few asked her if she had weighed the risks of her presenting such a position paper. Akunyili advertisement There were also threats of sack from those who felt Akunyili should not continue to stay in council after submitting such a strong-worded memo. Sunday Sun findings showed that the memorandum took the ministers by surprise and if the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Yayale Ahmed, had not had the presence of mind to ask for the copies already in the hands of the members, it would have been difficult to calm frayed nerves at the meeting. There were 42 copies of the document with all of the members but when the ministers were told to return them, the SGF discovered that three copies were missing. It took another round of search and persuasion before the missing copies were retrieved. According to one of the ministers sympathetic to Akunyili’s stand, “I salute Dora’s courage because it takes courage to look your boss in the eye and ask him to step down for his deputy. Many of us are also not comfortable with the way things have gone in the country these past two months, which is why we are supporting her.” A source at the meeting also told Sunday Sun that the memo took the ministers by surprise. “We all thought it was just another presentation from her ministry until she started reading. You should have seen the faces of some of the ministers. They shouted, hurled insults at her and some pointedly told her her days were numbered in the council. They asked her if she had weighed the risks of her action. It was really a hot session. “The meeting ended formally around noon but when I sent one of my aides to the Villa around 4 o’clock later that day, he told me some of the rattled members were still cooped up in a meeting, trying to figure out their next line of action,” the source revealed. After the meeting ended, ministers were seen standing in groups discussing the memo, most wearing frowns on their faces. But another minister angrily told this reporter when asked if he thought Akunyili was sincere or grandstanding: “What does it matter now if she is grandstanding? She has boldly stood her ground. Let others also boldly step out and grandstand. All I know is that four Katsina boys cannot continue to hold this nation to ransom.” Why I did not tell Jonathan - Akunyili Getting Prof Akunyili to speak on why she seized the EXCOF by the jugular last Wednesday was like trying to squeeze water out of a stone. But after a lot of persuasion, the protagonist agreed to speak with Sunday Sun for a few minutes, with a promise to speak more elaborately on all the issues later. What prompted the bombshell you dropped on the Executive Council of the Federation on Wednesday? Let’s just say I got tired of the whole thing. It just got too much for my mind. I could no longer live with myself. I was not sleeping well. I was depressed. My husband thought it was malaria but I knew it was not. I went for tests and nothing was found. I simply knew I could not continue to live a lie. On Tuesday night, I could not sleep at all and I spent half the night praying. That was when I decided to do the memo. I wrote and typed it myself. I only told my Assistants and Special Adviser on Wednesday. What was their reaction? Naturally, they thought it was too loaded, too much. They wanted me to tone it down. They were worried about something happening to me but I was resolute. I told them ‘if I die, I die.’ I was not afraid. I know that God who protected me through all my battles in NAFDAC is still alive. Did you tell the Vice President? No, I did not tell the VP. I felt he would discourage me if I told him what I wanted to do. I did not tell anybody. It was just a burden I wanted to do something about. It was my burden, my decision. While I was praying on Tuesday night, I remembered one sermon given by one bishop. He said, all the time people were screaming ‘crucify him, crucify him’ at Jesus Christ, nobody spoke up for Jesus. If one person had had the courage to say ‘no, Jesus does not deserve to die,’ perhaps he would not have been crucified. Maybe if someone had mustered the courage to speak up for Jesus, the course of history would have changed. But no, everybody joined the multitude to do evil. Remembering that sermon was instructive. I had to stand even if I was standing alone. Did you at any point in time try to reason with your colleagues in the cabinet, convince them to join your stand? Oh yes, I did. About four weeks ago, I tried to talk to some ministers but I did not get any encouragement. What was the reaction of the ministers when you presented that memo? I’m sure you can imagine it. Everybody voiced his opinion. Tempers rose but I was not bothered. I am happy with myself. I feel good. I feel like a heavy load has been lifted off my chest. That night I slept well. Now that you have submitted the memo at the council secretariat, what should we expect next? I am hopeful that the letter transferring power to Dr Goodluck Jonathan would finally arrive so that the tension in the country can be doused. I also expect that when President Yar’Adua returns, he will take over. The VP cannot stop him from returning to his office. It is not possible. Let me also state clearly that nobody wants Mr President dead. No child of God will wish a fellow human being dead. I don’t want my boss to die. Only evil people want him to die. He will return. So all this tension in the country is unnecessary. We all know what is right and that is what we should do. |

Babapupa, Who says you should not talk about Igbos? Talk about Igbos, criticize them and they will defend themselves accordingly. So also do not try to stop anyone from discussing Fasola, the chief thief of Lagos, and how Yorubas kill themselves for the slightest political positions. |

Politics / Re: Because Ojukwu Was Involved. by mekuszyx: 2:16am On Feb 08, 2010 |
Sjeazy8, When it is time to have an Igbo presidency, which is highly likely under PDP, the party will produce a candidate amongst the Igbos. There is no rule that it has to be a governor. It can be a senator, Rep member, governor or even a complete outsider. Obasanjo came in from prison and became one of the most powerful Nigerians until lately. Politics is not physical science with a fixed methodology leading to a fixed outcome. |

Sefago, You are a cyber noisome pestilence. I have shown you that at least I am doing well financially, both by US and Nigerian standard .My H1B1 visa speaks for itself. It is not given to just anybody. Who are you? Every nonentity will make noise on the internet. Your father was a soldier during the Biafra war, as you claim. What the hell is that supposed to fetch him in terms of money, except he stole like all military men in Nigeria have done? You are a poverty stricken person looking for sponsorship. Prove me wrong. I can give you sponsorship if I want to. |

Politics / Re: Because Ojukwu Was Involved. by mekuszyx: 11:35pm On Feb 07, 2010 |
paddy_lo:PDP party members nationally know who Enugu gov is. If they want an Igbo presiden from PDP govs, he stands a good chance because he is not doing badly. PDP rotation still stands. Yoruba cannot be president for a while under that arrangement. PDP is still the only party nationally. AC is regional and has no power to win a presidential election. Fasola cannot be draftd overnight into PDP. Besides that will ruin his albeit fake moral standing. I wager that the North will take over in 2011 and then the SS or SE (preferably the SS) will come in in 2015. |
