@ aisha2, you know I always back you, and I will this time as well. I spoke liek you did, and continue to, because inspite of what is happening, I believe suffering exists in both South and North and the common enermy is Greed.

Please people if you can, go out and let you voice count. The world is watching, and we have an opportunity to standup and be counted. This is not time to shy away, we must speak up for our children and thier children.

Nigeria is not working in its present state, let us not kid ourselves, it just isnt working, and it has remained so because we do not challenge those who claim to lead us.

very sad. No leader, anarchy rules

And we think it is not possible in Africa, why cant we learn from other countries?

absolute dead-ender. Should be ignored

what is with this rotational nonsense. Good Governance knows no tribe. Why not ask the UK how they have coped with different assemblies under one United Kingdom.

Make we dey look. Truth no dey hide, one dey e go commot

Marvix, you have a point until we have some sort of credible opposition to challange pdp. However, let us not forget thatg most of the parties we have do not represent anything no common values, in most cases all they have in common is bad goverment and the ability to steal huge sums of money. What does PDP actually represent as a party? what are thier ideals?

Onlytruth, you talk well. I often diswade people from thinking in the direction of war, but like you said it is never planned. Nigeria is in a very fragile state, and those who are holding the country to ransom must realise that. I can not understand for the life of me why a party that has failed woefully would boast about holding unto power for 60yrs? That Ogbolafor is a complete idiot

whats all this unecessary ball scratching, you guys amaze me. Dora has not done anything wrong, why dont we face the idiots, that did nothing and said nothing, because they were too shit scared to face the truth.

Dora has acted well, and must not be run down the way some people are

Lets not forget that no one put them in office, they bought thier way in there, that is why they can shamelessly demand that she goes. What is so wrong with our people

Sick country that would rather sit in the cesspit we find ourselves rather than hear the truth. Is what Dora said worse than A president holding 150million people ransom. What is wrong with us as a people?

People must not dispair if we are prepared to stand up and be counted. Nigerians are notorious for that, and that is why we are all being phocked this way.

Nigeria as a country can not be held hosted by a thieving minority. The world is watching, and we all have a good opportunity to vote these devils out of power

In the words of Chief Zebrudaya "How you Are". I have often argued on this site that the problem with Nigeria today is PDP. No need to get angry, maybe this is now a good reason for people to vote alternative parties, and yes DEFEND YOUR VOTE. No one will do it for you.

@ Kech,

I tire oh! I have often found this negative atitude towards change in our people. We are so scared to realise our destiny, and when we see the likes of Dora who are prepared to stick out thier neck, we sit on sites like this and phyco analyse her motives. Where and how do we even qualify to challange her motives, when most were called to protest recently and quite a few made excuses why they didnt go.

We are truly not ready for change, as long as we satisfy our selfish needs, no one cares, we are doing what most politicians are doing, looking aftr number 1.

@ Samorijack, please substantiate your claims. You must have very good evidence to suggest that, please share.

In my opinion, without all the facts , I think this is an honest mistake, and not one that would automatically classify her as a fraud, cheat or thief.

Well done Prof Dora Akunyili. This is the stuff good people are made off. I would rather be led by people like you than to be stuck in a country that fails to face up to the truth. This woman has not agenda, but the truth.

Nigeria is where it is today, because we as Nigerians fail to face up to the truth. Why should she resign? Let her voice remain the only true voice of reason in a useless Cabinet

Maybe it is time we give women a chance to rule. The only good done in our country in the last 8yrs are by women.

Dora for president?

I dont think the origin is necessary, the fact that this ever happened is the important point. Whether we like it or not The governemt of Nigeria is responsible for such failings. Benin- Lagos road is notorious for all sorts of things, and the sooner Nigerians as a people rise up and claim their country the better for everyone. This is just sick, why has Nigeria sunk so low. Why are people doing this to other people,

May the souls of the faithful departed rest in peace.

Very sad for our country. What can anyone benefit from keeping our country the way it is. Can those involved not see what is happening? did Oga Yar Adua not have to leave Nigeria to seek medical attention. How did he feel as a President that we do not even have 1 single world class medical facility in a country of 150 millions people. Not one sigle sector is working in our country. The roads are bad, no water, no light, no security, no medical facilities, no schools, no justice, no peace, nothing is working, absolutely nothing. And yet people think it is justified to have such a government in place.

Just why, as Nigerians do we do these things to ourselves. what is so wrong with moving things forward for the vest majority, what is so wrong with having a country that things just work, what is so wrong with having a country that it's citizens feel safe, what is so wrong in having a country with men and women of intergrity. My brothers the Natives are really Restless.

Ojo once again has just confirmed his stupidity, I would have thought that after his disgraceful outting on BBC hardtalk and the UN press conferenece, he would be lying low. Why is he is such a rush to show us how downright stupid he is.

I think we should not rush into any conclusions, let us wait and see the outcome. If fraud is proven then the law must take its course

and besides we have a lot of work to do to revive our country than chase after an absolute idiot.

Poverty and hunger remains an attractive tool for some

@ Naijaway, skyblue is right. I do not see the need for any diplomatic row. After all it might be the families wish to prevent visitors from seeing the president, and there really is nothing we can do about that, but respect the families wishes. However is the family insist on keeping the country in the dark, then the right thing must be done and impeachment proceedings must commence. Let us see what happens when that starts.

I dont see the point in spending so much of our countries money looking for a president that doesnt want to be found.

Just like Nigeria, we must feel for the innocent citizens of Zimbabwe, they did not choose the despot (Mugabe) to lead them. The man is now acting like a madman in a cesspit of shit

Well done to her, she is only fueling speculations of her husbands condition. I think Nigeria has spent too much time on this issue, and must move on now. We have a nation to build, in time the truth will reveal itself. No need in spending money Nigeria doesnt have on this matter.

Why do we all believe it has to be PDP, in my opinion we have an opportunity to change things for the better. Like CitizenY suggested Jonathan really needs to make the best of the chance given to him, if not, well it may not be PDP come next election

Well needed for our progress. People often complian about the duo, but I think they did well during thier time. Ribadu must be allowed to continue what he started no matter how selective it may have seemed at that time.

Very good Mr Acting President. There is a lot of work to do, so as soon as we all take our fingers out and start solving the problems the better

another gimmick. when are we ever going to get serious about solving problems in Nigeria. Real big joke

@ Sulad82i, are you kidding me? Lagos a Mini NY. Hmm, this is how we have been living a deciteful life for so long. What is wrong with telling ourselves the truth, if Lagos was such a mini NY how come we dont get a mention as a potential tourist destination?

The town is not that great, and frankly a dissappointment to other cosmopolitan cities, maybe to other Nigerian cities it might fair well, but to other international cities, it scores poorly, and by the way I lived in Lagos for years
