Say what you know, I know elections anywhere in the world is 100% free and fair. But the 1993 elections in Nigeria is the best I can think can of. Two Muslim candidates one from the South one from the north. Abiola had a landslide Victory. Moreover option A4 was used. The voters vere counted on the queue as per head count. No Wayo

The so-called option A4 was easy to rig and it was rigged fantastically. Trust a typical naija man - when counting those on the queue instead of 1,2,3,4...... , the counting was 1,2, 39, 49, 60...!!! This was the election they're saying was most free and fair. It wasn't.

ephi123:
It is on record that this was the fairest and freest election in Nigeria's history, so don't taint it.

Which record?

ephi123:
But the likes of you will not say that if it was Buhari's election.

By the way, there is nothing like "we all know", who are the we?

Every election since independence has been characterized by massive irregularities.

greatgod2012:
MKO Abiola; hope'93!


Who remember June 12, 1993!

June 1993 was the only day we had free and fair election in Nigeria!


Politics has been so dirty and brutal from time immemorial!

According to SW press June 1993 election was the freest election in nigeria. But we all know that's a lie - that election was as rigged as other elections.

On the farm with police escort. Smart guy; surely doesn't want to be a victim of the insecurity in SE.

Everyone knows aregbesola set out to develop Osun. Unfortunately he has been hampered by circumstances beyond his control. Nevertheless, his modest achievements are there for all to see. Well done Ogbeni.

HungerBAD:
Wow.

He ordered thousands of Bibles to be burnt?Christianity is indeed a very tolerant religion.

If he had ordered that a "Crayon" should be used to write something on top of the Quran,the Country as a wbole would have been burning,and there will be a World wide Protests from Nigeria to the UK,And from Yemen to Pakistan.

But again,I do not blame him. I blame the 15,000 people that this Pastor hoodwinks every Sunday.

And while he is busy burning Bibles,Why don't he also help us write one? Since he is not pleased with the ones around.

Why bring Quran in where a pastor is talking manipulations of the bible?Muslims believe the Quran is the exact Word of God, so no one has the liberty to change even an alphabet in the Quran. That's why there will never be a revised or new or standard or king's version of the Quran.

princechurchill:
The problem of Nigeria is the North, remove them and watch this country develop, just look at our SGF can this man get close to the academic qualities of Southerners?

The suspended dg of national intelligence is a southerner and his own case is 1000 times more sordid.

They have been killing themselves without biafra - aguleri vs umuleri, ezza vs izzilo, ritualists, cultists, killer kidnappers etc. What difference would biafra even make other than to join south Sudan and Somalia as failed state.

BetaThings:
Excellent explanation, let me jut add a few words



History - how have Nigerians used cars in the past? can that teach us something for our design approach
Culture - do Nigerians take time to study and comply with manuals, do they work their cars nearly to death everyday? or do they treat them with extreme care? With they service them on time or will they delay? do they use them for special occasions and take trains mostly? Do they work parts into them or buy new parts from dealers? do we need to design into the Nigerian car sufficient redundancies and features to reflect or modify such behaviour?
environment - temperature, nature of road, dust
Economic structure - income level structure - many low income or many middle class

First-class explanation. If buygala still doesn't understand "history and culture" in car design, let him go back to jss1 and start secondary school all over. Jelani Aliyu knows what he is talking about for a semi-illiterate to come and be ranting gibberish on nairaland all in a futile attempt to rubbish him.

agbangam:
God bless u laureta, Since Ozekhome started tasting free/corruption money, d guy don turn serious defender of corruption. Mike now gladly defend everything dat is corrupt and i believe Mike wud ve being Abacha's lawyer if he were to be alive. He is sound no doubt but d guy now swim wit every known thief.
Abi na d after effect of d kidnap dat is affecting him Na wa oo

How can we be sure that the crook did not organize the kidnapping himself to curry public sympathy?

Even if the rolls Royce was a gift emir sanusi should not be using such a car that's associated with opulence in a poverty-wracked region. Sls gives the impression that he is riled by the level of poverty in the north, yet he "oppresses" the poor people there by his outlandish display of wealth. What an HYPOCRITE!

NgeneUkwenu:
So says the defender of theives....

Gbam!

See how this car is heavily laden with firewood. This is how a typical naija man ruins a car and will turn around to say the car is not strong.

SmartBug:
That's the power of green card.

Power of green card ke! Green card is for US but the woman is Danish and, besides, she and her husband are mainly working in nigeria.

onadana:
As if some Christians are not the same as Yerima who introduced it.Let us think rationally and not abrogate religion to all things

Don't mind the hypocrites! North, south, east or west there is no part of this country that is free of object poverty. Ask sls, in what way is abia, ekiti etc better than zamfara?

Godswillnwaoma:
fertility in men does not drop after 40yrs, a man can pregnant a woman ever after 70 yrs.

He says fertility drops, not that men over the age of 40 are infertile. I understand that only a single sperm cell is required to fertilize an ovum. So in theory even if a man produces only one viable sperm cell in a discharge he is still fertile, but in reality to have a chance in impregating a woman you must produce viable sperm cell in several millions. A 70- year old may infact be more fertile than a 30-year old.

petra1:
That's not correct . He's one of the ministers that have strong stand on morality and virtue as part of ministerial ethiques . He even host a popular annual ministerial interdenominational conference called "MINISTERS WITHOUT BLEMISH". In one of the conferences that I watched . He was very furious against ministers traveling for Programes with female secretaries saying. "IS SHE YOUR WIFE? ..

It's obvious that the scandal was a set up . Even if he fell short at all in the set up . It's still a set up .ive monitored his programmed for years . I never saw any compromise tendency not to talk of him being a predator .

Can you vouchsafe for what he does in private?

These kidnappers made the biggest mistake of their worthless lives by going for a policeman. Believe it or not, nigeria police are good if they set out to work.

Truth is bitter!

If these people had exchanged blows and thrown chairs at themselves, that would have been good news.

Jabioro:
No matter how powerful his parents might be, the case is a national crime case, anybody that try to doctor it for any interest may go with it.. he has confessed.. the media are watching, Jumia would not sleep and human right activist are monitoring it someone like you OP plus folk like me and many millions ordinary citizens have interest.. he won't escape gallow man..

Bros, there are many ways of killing a criminal case in Nigeria. One way is for the prosecutor to drag the trial and gradually public interest on it fizzles out. Then the judge, compromised of course, terminates the case for lack of diligent prosecution.

The man spoke in hausa. If you want to know exactly what he said get the hausa version. For those who do not understand hausa get an impartial translator. I listened to sls and he picked on the governor in particular though he appeared not to have listened to the hausa version. I hold no brief for governor Yari, though.

At least Osun is transparent about how the money was disbursed. Many states with rogues as governors weren't. Kudos to Ogbeni.

Ban these scammers. No more new churches.Shikena!

Stand on existing protocol or all protocols observed seems to be of Nigerian origin and the other African countries mentioned caught the bug.

Hahaahaha, she certifies her son as dead and recertifies him as alive!!!

Blackfire:
When is the next election, so I can vote these duchebag senators out.

Anyway that is if they have not finish us with hunger before then.

That is if your vote counts. The crooks will rig the poll and bribe the election tribunal judges.

Winna01:
He'll probably end up being a lecturer and achieve nothing. Please he should do something better when he's older.

Believe me, we have a long way to go in this country with people thinking like this. What do you mean by he will achieve nothing as a lecturer? Being a lecturer itself is an achievement. At just 14 this boy is a world-acclaimed genius - he has already achieved a great deal, infact, if you don't know. And he will achieve more even if he chooses to remain in the academics - for he will be grooming people to take on responsibilities in society. Maybe you're thinking atypical Nigerian who sees "achievement " only in terms of material acquisitions, even if ill-gotten (like thieving politicians, pastorenuers, yahoo-yahoo boys).

The only way you can be sure of your tyre gauge is to have your own pump and gauge. They are not expensive. I have a portable air compressor/gauge - bought it toks 7k more than 5 years ago and it is still working perfectly. The gauge used by roadside vulcanizers is dangerously inaccurate- it may read 40 psi when the pressure is actually 55 psi!

But his folks say they are honest and hardworking -why is senator uzodinma the black sheep! Quite unlike a man of Jewish origin.

This man is a blessing to Lagos.
Always forward looking, the Jagaban will forever be remembered as the architect of modern Lagos. For those who will accuse him of financial impropriety, I won't support criminality, but Tinubu has a lot of good things to his credit unlike Bukola Saraki, whose name has featured in every major fraud and is never associated with any good cause.
