They are ruining the image of the State. OBJ should give all Norther States 2 weeks to remove Sharia, and if they don't, they should be kicked from the Union. That way we wont have to worry about murderous thieves like IBB and co running for office.

Well there you go. That's probably a more viable reason to change the constitution, but trust a politician to chase his own interest first. And that still doesn't mean he should get a 3rd term. As far as I'm concerned all previous presidents should not be allowed to hold that office again. Defending one obviously flawed politician over another is a very slippery slope.

Somehow I don't think he wants to move to Qatar. I think he prefers his kid to be raised in a predominantly english-speaking country. If I remember correctly that was one of the reasons he moved to Bolton in the first place.

They had better have a testimonial for him when he eventually retires. One more chance to see his bag of tricks. I will never forget his "go this way" dribble between two players against England in 94.

Afeni:
OBJ is a president under a federalist system of government. He is not an all powerful military dictator.

That doesn't make him more reliable. The questions above all remain unanswered.

Afeni:
However, I have my American citizenship so go ahead. Go ahead and drive out the best leader Nigeria has had in over 20 years.

Then you should know something about the rule of law and respecting the constitution. The fact that you are the "best leader in 20 years" doesn't mean you should not give up power. Until Nigerian politicos realise that they cannot change the rules as they wish we won't get anywhere.

How Many Licks - Lil Kim Ft. Sisqo

Afeni:
OBJ is a reliable person. He might not be able to make changes as fast you people would like, but keep in mind that the state of Nigeria when he too power was completely run down.

What makes him more reliable than the folks trying to replace him? His history does not confirm your assertion. It is arguable that Nigeria started its decent into the abyss with his administration. I still remember when Nigerians were all for giving IBB multiple opportunities to put things right, believing he was reliable.

Hennesey N Buddah - Snoop Dogg

Afeni:
Considering that the other hopefuls are retired Generals with plenty of stolen loot, he is definately better.

And what exactly is OBJ? Since when did he become a saint? What happened during Operation Feed the Nation and the stolen election handed to Shagari in 79. Or is the quantity of loot stolen your criteria for saying he is better?

Afeni:
For all those Nigerians still in the country, please, for you sake, support the third term agenda. Obasonja has put in place terrific reforms that has Nigeria on the course of making the country great. However, you must realize that it is impossible for the Government or any other government to provide enough jobs for its people.

Any Nigerian Presidential hopeful that tells you he is going to make everything alright in Nigeria is lieing. All the government can do is clean up the countries international image (basically what OBJ is doing)

Does OBJ have to continue in power for that to happen? What makes him better than the other hopefuls?

um nope, not that crazy about all their albums

tpbm has a yahoo launch subscription?

bolex:

Let Eva catch you. She will put a Texas-sized whooping on your ass.

i ave noticed that american films always ave the same endings

Um, its a movie, its mostly fiction. Besides you can't take people's money and then send them away depressed. They won't come back to watch another movie.

Na wah oo.

Ndipe:
But these diversion, multitasking, carving out room to take care of other family members sometimes leaves little time for parents to watch over their kids. And I am amazed that our generation turned out well (ok, when I mean my generation, I am referring to the 20-30 crowd).

I daresay, it's because of the extended family that "our generation" turned out well. Nothing like going to work knowing you have your flesh and blood watching your kids.

Ndipe:
I am also amazed that divorces in Africa is not as high as that of the western world, considering our busy lives, which could lead to temptations.

Extended family again. In the west its your marriage counselor or pastor/priest/imam. Back home its the folks with the added benefit that you are not pouring your problems on a stranger.

Ndipe:
So for the west, the family unit comprises of a man, his wife and 2, maybe three kids. No stress over money, no stress over inlaws. People call in advance and one is not obligated to render help to the community or their extended family member. And for kids over 18 years old, your parents can legally kick you out of the house.

Yeah and when all hell breaks loose as it will one day, there is no emotional safety net.

Both have their benefits, I guess the difficult task is acheiving a balance between both.

Hero:
Of course she is. She just disappeared for a while so she can go pop out a few kids real quick.

That's right, I beleive Brandy has popped out a kid too.

WesleyanA:
I didn't know this thread was still alive

Yeah, eveseh has been going round posting in all the dead/dying threads. Someone obviously has a fascination with their post count.

Nwoke:
The problem of PHCN is that their tariffs are too low. This leads to excess demand for electricity that they can't satisfy. Even if they double their output, it will only lead to more demand, which will cause the shortage to continue.

I think the premise behind that comment is flawed. In fact an increase in demand is what you want. It invariably means goods and services are being provided and value is being created.

Besides why should PHCN want to restrict demand/conserve for electricity. Energy conservation only comes into play when the primary energy source i.e. Natural gas, coal, hydro-electric dams are unable to sustain the required levels of production. At this point I don't think fear of natural gas running out is PHCN's problem. If I remember correctly, Nigeria is grossly under-powered. South Africa has the capacity to generate some 40,000 mw. PHCN has been talking about 4000 mw since OBJ got to power.

If rates are increased and people conserve, then PHCN will not develop their infrasturcture further. The consequence will be a stagnation of economic development. Nigeria needs affordable, available electricity and a good transportation infrastructure to develop, not a hike in PHCN's rates.

This might be harsh, but he'll remain a endorsement superstar not a footballing one until he does the business in europe.

Some might add Del Piero to that list. Maybe even Thierry Henry. They never seem to catch fire at national team level.
