That Ransome-Kuti family was something else.

I remember Beko Ransome Kuti was the Health Minister and he used to drive around in one broken down Range Rover going around the country preaching about AIDS. He also organised nationwide innoculation program for us in 1990.

Do they still do free innoculations in Naija?

Beko Ransome-Kuti, Gani Fawehimni and Mr Soyinka are true patriots. I throway salute for them!

Olikoye Ransome-kuti was health minister. Beko Ransome-kuti was an activist as well, his activism was enough to piss Abacha off and he got thrown in jail.

It has dirty written all over it.

when we can have a boa constrictor, an aligator, an iguana, (we could get more dangerous as we go but u get the point) as a pet, why cant we have a goat as a pet.


moving on to more serious stuff, why is this in the politics section?

The wife of Zimbabwe's Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai has been killed in a car crash in which he was also hurt, according to reports.

Susan Tsvangirai was travelling with her husband south of the capital, Harare, when the crash happened.

Mr Tsvangirai, leader of the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) party, formed a unity government with President Robert Mugabe last month.

The two had been long-time rivals before agreeing a power-sharing deal.

MDC spokesman Nelson Chamisa told Reuters news agency that Mr Tsvangirai was not in a critical condition.

"We have just heard that there was an accident of sorts involving the president of the party. Injuries, yes, but not critical condition, we are still assessing the actual condition," he said.

The prime minister is said to have been on his way to his rural home in Buhera at the start of the weekend when his vehicle was involved in a crash near Beatrice.

A second MDC spokesman, James Maridadi, told the Associated Press news agency that the car had been in collision with a lorry. The car was also carrying an aide, he said.

The prime minister was apparently not seriously hurt but was immediately transferred to a clinic in the capital, Harare, the BBC's Peter Biles in Johannesburg says.

The crash comes just two days after Mr Tsvangirai delivered his maiden speech to parliament after being sworn in as prime minister in Zimbabwe's power-sharing government, our correspondent adds.

He and his wife Susan, who were married in 1978, had six children.

The BBC News website's Africa editor Joseph Winter says Mrs Tsvangirai always stayed out of the limelight but was equally a source of strength to her husband, when in the past he was charged with treason and assaulted for his opposition to Mr Mugabe.

She accompanied him to court on several occasions.

There are no dual carriageways on Harare's inter-city roads, making overtaking dangerous, our correspondent adds.

Traffic accidents are common, often because of speeding and drink-driving.

The news i got says she was badly hurt not dead only if it was bad enough that it later led to death.



I SMELL A DEAD RAT. Gutt feeling says there might be more to this whole 'accident' than is known at this point.

that way he'll be sleeping with two people at the same time. wife and minister. call him multi tasking! bunch of retards treating their countries like their personal property.

[quote author=St.Funmi link=topic=243192.msg3552305#msg3552305 date=1236292791]Somehow am suspecting this company may be a hoax and an avenue for yaradua and co to funnel govt out of the country. They usually start with phoney companies, clear the site, do one or two things and abandon the project finally.[/quote]roflmao

if to say this company don supply us with better information, either thru the media or their website. we for fit contribute better. all this one una dey are all based on maibe, as in, its like, you know etc etc etc.

are they constructing it and managing it. or they are constructing it and leasing it to govt to manage? what role is the government going to play in the whole thing (please dont tell me its private funded so government is not involved). there are more kweshuns that we need facts to. until that is provided we just dey waste our energy typing and thinking.

then i guess abuja would be looting express. Yes?

you no serious. oshogbo nko

its not funny jare


what if they had said it would be from lagos to kaduna or maiduguri or oshogbo. wetin u go call am then?

The truth is in principle i agree with you that tenor elongation is not exactly right, however in Nigeria's peculiar situation att hat time i felt we still needed OBJ to complete several of the wonderful reforms he had started. There is no Nigerian that has his experience at that level and strength of character coupled with the good will and zeal to make Nigeria great that OBJ had. We really neede him to have a very strong foundation for our development. For instance see what happened to EFCC after baba left, it makes a president with strong political will to make an organization like EFCC work in a corrupt country like Nigeria.

Finishing the reform he started? that is where continuity comes into play. if he had some weight to determine his successor, then the idea of term limit being extended to finish his reform shouldnt be an option. if he chose YarAdua and non of his reform was continued then i must say, that single action rubbishes all u claim he had done to warrant a 3rd term. as per ur efcc example, what would we call his palling around with the same people his efcc went after.

Becomerich is going to start cloning electricity! getting 7000MW out of the current 4000MW without producing more and simply working with the current 4000MW.

KunleOshob:
Well i wanted him to have a third term and i don't know why you guys are making so much noise after all he attempted to do it through constituitional means (via amendment which is allowed by the constituiton) he was honourable to accept the verdict of the senate on it. Other African rulers would have still imposed themselves on the country, but as a stateman OBJ bowed out.

just curious, lets assume he got his third term. would you see anything wrong if he decided at that time to seek a 4th term?

sure theres nothing wrong with riding a bike. but over what distance does riding a bike make sense. riding a bike from surulere to VI or riding it around VI to go buy bread, eeg and satis for breakfast?

why the apology? chicken he is.

@ Mustafar, Everyone else
Sorry for that mistake
However dubai doesnt have to be in Africa for Nigeria to achieve such giant strides.
Besides, this Eko Atlantic is a 'small' project compared with what is going on in other small Nations in our economic cadre.

i hear you my broda, i no vex at all. but just no dey talk that kind thing like say na fact abeg. i almost thought it was ME reading wrong.

as per your point, i understand but some projects are more important than others. 4th mainland bridge would be a lot more useful at this time T.

OBJ for 2011, u for kukuma just drop NUKULAR BOMBASTIC on top the country make we know say we don destroy am finish.


why do we think up these stomach rumbling contraptions and push it as the best option? same for the ojo maduekwe, buhari and IBB ones.

father ab:
I dont know why many Nigerians have narrow minds.
Is it not in Dubai an african city that the tallest building on earth is been built? Because of such giant developments, foremost world firms are relocating from america to dubai. A good example is Halliburton.

is that what your geography teacher taught you or did you pick that out of thin air?

Gamine:
There is a huge outbreak of Lassa Fever in the North,

I have friends who were posted there. . .

You cant imagine, the anger i felt when i watched todays House sitting

And one so-called Hon saying that Lassa Fever is spreading because people are eating rats

No solution, no nothing, just stupid cheap unfunny jokes

Unnecessary Suffering with nonsense people leading. . .words don dry for my mouth o jare

oh no he didnt! my question to him would have been. how many rats does one have to eat to catch lassa fever? awon alayi rori gbo gbo.

“We have agreed that 40 percent of the political appointments would be allotted to all the groups who are aggrieved at the state level, similarly, 30 percent of the political appointments would go to the aggrieved party men at the council level, if Engr. Segun Oni wins the gubernatorial re-run election in the state.

Some of the demands of the former governor  include the dissolution of the party’s executive at the state level; payment of severance allowance to all the political appointees who had served during his regime; unconditional release of all members of his faction who are presently  facing criminal charges in court and harmonisation of political appointments.

Fayose had threatened that should any of his demands be dropped, he would work for the success of Dr Kayode Fayemi of the Action Congress (AC) in the re-run polls.

they have destroyed the credibility of the election even before a vote is cast. WHICH WAY NIGERIA? cos if this isnt rigging/election buying then what is.

since u have done the back ground check on waziri, can u save me the time and equip me with ur find? but i notice that u used the word 'MAY' dat indicates u r sending me on an arodan chase.

my eyes have been shined. you have also shined urs but u went ahead to look at it through a lens instead of direct. thus ur shined eye shined after all.

no i wont ask myself that because im not looking at it thru the same lens with which u r looking at it.

hopefully they would follow through till the end and not sweep it under the carpet like they did others.

He is dead. I would that the court does not stop at just a jail term. Hope they make sure to take back all the property purchased with bribe money and the lot.

what if she used the money to buy buses and develop her area. and equip her school that would educate the children of citizens? ala Governor i used my bribe money to develop my state and thus a bribe is not a bribe/crime if its used as such.

i know im looking for trouble but

hahahahahahaha

roflmao if only you would take my advice.

I'll take it only if you lay off connecting any ogbo hatred here with yorubas. Indeed, you are a phenomenal tribalist. [/quote]im more than a phenomenal tribalist. dig deeper you'll find more names. but if my telling you to match the igbo threads by posting threads about other tribes, YORUBA included makes me a tribalist. then i wonder what you are. who even connected igbo hatred with yorubas, no be you talk shout yoruba envy.
