H.I.D Awolowo is just a glorified A.G.I.P (Any Government In Power)troll who has been feeding fat on her husband's legacy for her comments to be taken seriously. Every S.W governor of whatever hue or colour since 1999 have been greasing her palms to get a vote of confidence. I put her in the same category as people like Ojo Maduekwe, Jerry Gana, Emmanuel Iwanyanwu, Ebenezer Babatope and co.

No doubt that the Op is a mischievous dolt but that should not detract from the validity of his question, the LASG has a duty to come out and state whether it has received SURE-P funds and what it has done with it. Truth is, almost all states have either just added it to their budgets or it has grown wings because apart from Delta( which is ironical b'cos Uduaghan is a first class buffoon), I can't think of any other state that earmarked the funds for a specific project.

PoliticsRe: Presidency Defends Anenihs Appointment by merengue: 3:41pm On Dec 28, 2012
Sincere 9gerian: Mr President needs Aneni and some other politicians to win PDP primary come 2015. GEJ did the sensible thing that any other person would have done- find a balance between political influence and performance. You need POLITICAL INFLUENCE to win PDP primary and PERFORMANCE to win general elections. If GEJ didn't appoint Aneni into NPA board, na @DemDem, Gbawe, Lai Muhammed, Speaker Tambuwar or Buhari him for appoint? Those who allege Aneni stole money should take him to court. The ACN states and ACN members of the NASS can sue Aneni to court for failing to tarr any southwest roads that was budgeted for and funds released for its construction. Otherwise, the propagandist should allow us to hear word. Small time dem go also allege that I stole N1,000billion.
Na Sincere 9gerian talk dis one.
This dude never fails to crack me up, grin grin grin. You said on another thread that OBJ does not have the power to unseat GEJ because he is no longer relevant and even lost his polling booth. Now the same Anenih who was resoundingly thrashed by Oshiomhole even in his own polling booth is needed to win elections in 2015. Logic has suffered.

It shows the tardiness of some functionaries of the Lagos state government in properly documenting and cataloging projects.It is a shame that visits to even the official websites of ministries and parastatals in Lagos do not have pictures and adequate information about projects.

PoliticsRe: Evil Spirit Behind Nigeria’s Darkness, Power Minister Tells SA Investors by merengue: 7:22pm On Nov 28, 2012
I find the arguments that it was a metaphor disingenuous and an attempt to stand the truth on its head and make it walk with its teeth. If she had been addressing Nigerians; people who share the same cultural background with her, it would have been understandable but she was addressing foreigners who do not share the same cultural background and so take everything that is being said literally and not metaphorically, it was wrong on all levels. The minister and the idiotic Head of Press spoke like ill trained circus monkeys & should be reprimanded.


While addressing members of the African National Congress (ANC), the South African Ruling Party, which led a team of investors to her office in Abuja
, the minister said, “We must resolve to jointly exorcise the evil spirit behind this darkness and allow this nation take its pride of peace in the comity of Nations.”[/quote]

The same is replicated all across the nation until you get to the epicenter of filth, corrosion and decay: Abuja. We will need to divert Rivers Niger & Benue to wash away the Augean stables which the F.C.T has become. We need to in my opinion do the following:

1. As a matter of urgency, MDAs should be merged or scrapped (e.g Ministries of Communication and Information Technology be merged, scrapping of the Ministry of Women Affairs, Niger-Delta Ministry, pilgrim boards, etc).
2. Switch to a unicameral legislative system, the NASS as its presently constituted is too expensive to maintain and serves no clearly discernible purpose.
3. Reduction of number of political appointees; why should GEJ have over 24 S.As (number keeps rising). You have Okupe, Abati, Omokri doing one person's job. You have also have idiotic positions like: Special Adviser to the President on Ethics and Values (Sarah Jibril)or even more idiotic; Senior Special Assistant to the Special Adviser to President Goodluck Jonathan on Political Matters (Godwin Duru.

HealthThe Curious Case Of The Clarks: Real Life Benjamin Buttons Aging Backwards by merengue(op): 10:09pm On Nov 27, 2012
http://shine.yahoo.com/healthy-living/real-benjamin-buttons-brothers-matthew-michael-clark-aging-193400085.html

By the looks of their home, Tony and Christine Clark are raising two rambunctious 7-year-old boys. Model train tracks and Monopoly pieces are scattered on tables and cartoons flicker on the TV set.

But the Clarks' two sons are grown men who share only the same interests and emotional fluctuations of little boys. Like the character portrayed by Brad Pitt in the 2008 film "The Curious Case of Benjamin Buttons," Matthew, 39, and Michael, 42, are aging backwards.

Diagnosed with a terminal form of leukodystrophy, one of a group of extremely rare genetic disorders that attack the Myelin, or white matter, in the nervous system, spinal cord, and brain. In the Clarks' case, the condition has not only eroded their physical capacities, but their emotional and mental states as well.
Only six years ago, both brothers were holding down jobs and growing their families. Today, they spend their days in the care of their parents, both in their sixties, playing with Mr. Potato Head, fighting over Monopoly, and in rare lucid moments, struggling to understand why their lives have changed so dramatically.

Before the Clark Brothers were diagnosed, they were living independent lives. Michael served in the Royal Air Force and later became a cabinet maker. Matthew worked in a factory and was raising a teenage daughter. Tony and Christine, meanwhile, had retired and moved from the UK to Spain. Then in 2007, both of their sons fell off the radar. They stopped returning their parents' calls and texts, and as the Clark brothers' conditions developed, their lives fell apart.

Michael surfaced in a soup kitchen, and was referred to medical experts by social workers. After an MRI scan, he was diagnosed with the incurable degenerative disorder. Soon after Matthew received the same news. In the U.S. alone, about 1 in 40,000 children are born with a form of the neurodegenerative disease, according to Dr. William Kintner, President of the United Leukodystrophy Foundation. While some forms of the disorder are potentially treatable if discovered in the earliest stages and not all cause an emotional regression, the brothers are unlikely to be cured. "It's very difficult to do anything once progression has occurred," Dr. Kintner tells Yahoo! Shine.
[With their train set.(Courtesy of Channel4)] With their train set.(Courtesy of Channel4)

As of April, when the Clarks were first written about in the British press, their mental age was 10.

"We will be out walking and things which might interest a toddler interest them, the other day we were walking home when Michael saw a balloon and pointed it out to us," father Tony Clark, told The Telegraph last spring.

Today, the brothers are even younger mentally.

"Just like small children, they wake up a lot during the night," mom Christine said in an interview published in The Independent this week. "I was up seven times with them last night."

After learning of their diagnoses, Tony and Christine returned to the UK and moved in with their sons. Their daily struggles as a family have been chronicled in a British documentary, "The Curious Case of the Clark Brothers," airing Monday in the UK.

Earlier this year, Matthew became a grandfather, when his daughter had a son. But the news for the family was bittersweet, as the Clark brothers' mental age continued to creep backwards.

"There's no return to them being cute little boys," said Christine, who regularly manages their tantrums and fights over Monopoly. "They're big strong men—and that presents a quite different set of problems."

More recently, even their physical strength began deteriorating.

"A few weeks ago, they could still manage with a knife and fork, but now that's getting too difficult for them—they get the food onto their forks, but somehow it all falls off before it reaches their mouths," she said.

Donors and genetic disorders: how much do you know?

Now walking is the next hurdle; Matthew is already confined to a wheelchair.

"The likelihood that they're on a terminal course is fairly certain, but who knows?" says Dr. Kintner, who is familiar with the Clark case but didn't meet the brothers. "If they were citizens of U.S., we'd try to get them to the National Institute of Health for diagnostic work, but in the UK the system is different. There is no comparable organization with genetic diseases, so it's a little more difficult there."

Dr. Kintner estimates there are several million cases of one of the estimated 40 types of leukodystrophies in the U.S., but an exact number is hard to pinpoint. The different forms of the disorder are still being identified and tests for each known type are still being developed. "It's going to take a long time," says Dr. Kintner. "I hope in my lifetime I see a cure for some of them."
