Knowing my Nigeria, [size=25pt]Yaradua could run this country from a mental facility geared in strap clothes and all
Aondaaka would say, "the president can rule from a mental asylum"[/size]

Where is he? What have you heard from the Nigerian Governmental bodies about him?

We have resulted in distributing this flyers since we are being snubbed and mis-informed.

Article curled from Sunday Daily Trust:
The United States Senate Committee on Foreign Relations has invited Alhaji Umaru Mutallab, the father of Nigerian Christmas Day would-be bomber Faruk Umar Abdulmutallib, to appear before it on January 20, a highly -placed diplomatic source told Sunday Trust yesterday.
Mutallab’s invitation was conveyed through a letter dated January 7, 2010 and signed by the Chairman of the US Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, Senator John F. Kerry, was addressed to the Nigerian Ambassador to the United States, Ambassador Babagana Wakil.

The US Senate Committee on Foreign Relations is one of the most influential committees in the United States legislature. It shapes and checkmates the country’s foreign policies and programmes. Its current chairman Senator Kerry, a Democratic senator from Massachusetts, has been a key player in the country’s foreign affairs relations. He is the author of The New War, an in-depth study of America’s national security in the 21st Century, years before September 11, 2001 terror attack.

Alhaji Mutallab had earlier intimated the US security agencies about his son’s weird behaviour. In the only press statement released by the family since this incident took place, he said, “prior to this incident, his father, having become concerned about his disappearance and stoppage of communication while schooling abroad, reported the matter to the Nigerian security agencies about two months ago, and to some foreign security agencies about a month and a half ago, then sought their assistance to find and return him home.”Cont’d from page 1


The family added that “we provided them with all the information required of us to enable them to this. We were hopeful that they would find and return him home. It was while we were waiting for the outcome of their investigation that we arose to the shocking news of that day.”

“The family will continue to fully cooperate with local and international security agencies towards the investigation of this matter, while we await results of the full investigations,” the statement said.

The US Senate’s invitation letter reads that “The United States Senate Committee on Foreign Relations would like to extend an invitation to Mr Faruk Abdulmutallib, former Chief Executive Officer of the First Bank of Nigeria, to testify before the Committee on the morning of January 20, 2010.”

The Committee praised the terror suspect father, saying “Mr Abdulmutallib acted in a heroic fashion by alerting US authorities to his concerns about his son’s whereabouts and activities by seeking to disrupt what he believed could have been a dangerous situation. We would like to afford him the opportunity to discuss his experience with his son and to provide his recommendations on the process by which he worked with US authorities.

“I would like also to note that Mr Abdulmutallib’s appearance would allow him to correct the negative press to which Nigeria has been unfairly subjected over the past two weeks.

“The Committee is happy to pay for Mr Abdulmutallib’s travel to the United States, hotel accommodations in Washington, and return to Nigeria. A Committee staff member, Mr John Kiriakou, can make Mr Abdulmutallib’s arrangements,” the letter said.

The absence of the Nigerian Head of State is playing out to be the catalsyt needed to stimulate the necessary change in the polity. A conflagation is in the making and [size=25pt]a thousand Aondanka and a million Turai won't stop it.[/size]

What is about happening would be forever be a reference point in the international politics.

People would no longer refer to the French revolution or the Russian revolution, it is gonna be the NIGERIAN 2010 REVOLUTION.

It is symbolic that it is happening on the country's 50 anniversary and at a time when thousands ve been rendered jobless and homeless - no thanks to 'Muttallab' sytled banking reforms.

President Yar Dua, thank u for being the agent of change in Nigeria.

This is not new na, [size=22pt]becomrich is brain damaged too but still commands respect on NL [/size]and even shapes opinions

whatalife:
The US embassy in Abuja also told a Special Adviser on Housing to Governor Sheriff that he had no business attending the expo because his schedule of duties had no link with the event. The embassy equally denied visa to Sheriff’s Special Adviser on Agriculture for reasons not disclosed. The embassy, however, granted visa to Borno Commissioner for Agriculture, Alhaji Kashim Shettima and another official. It was not clear if the governor already had a valid visa or was issued after the US placed Nigeria on its list of countries to be watched over terrorism.

Depilot:
It has been confirmed by a very very reliable source, that Yaradua is responding extremely well to the treatment prescribed to him by his doctor; he's close to being fully recovered.
He is not dead, he is not missing and he is not in coma as being speculated; he's scheduled to be back in the country latest by next month.

chidichris:
@afam,
so el rufai said this? so u are saying this to el rufai?
u are requesting for consistency from your heroes.
if u are not mad, u shld be asking el rufai why he and his master imposed this yar adua of a thing on us when they knew he had records of failure .
u display stupidity while trying to protect criminals who are not even protecting themselves.
afam, from what el rufai is saying, obasanjo who is your father and creator is a failure and that is what he shld be called.
they have failed the nation and your useless supports cannot change a thing.

Beaf:
Please if you put that thing there, take it down. I can assure you that within a couple of days, foreign news / joke outlets will clamp unto that article; there is no pride or fun in it.

AIRDIG:
there is a red signal ahead of this country’s economy and some other areas. , next thing he will be telling us is that Yar'adua was sick in 2009.

Sanusi should pray against assassination because some people are after his life. , of course, , now how is that a prediction

There will be fire outbreak in some major markets in Nigeria, . The price of sugar and cement will go up. , is this dude living in Nigeria

MTN and Globacom workers should pray against death , why not the whole of Nigeria, at least that way we won't record any mortality

some AIGs and DIGs will be moved. The police will be equipped for the forthcoming election but they will not be able to meet the challenges. , so sad, that will be the first time ever this will be happening in Nigeria, so sad

there will be fuel scarcity next year. Whether Nigerians like it or not, the pump price of petroleum products will be increased. , let me ththink, there was none in 2009, 2009, ??

Nigeria will venture into nuclear weapon., now you have taken the prediction into the realm of fantasy

Some Judges will be retired and new ones emerging. some students will graduate and new ones will get admission

The Council of Obas in Lagos State needs to pray against sudden death. , as only slow death is allowed in 2010

Nigeria needs to pray to lift the Nations Cup. . , and not footballers. O.k lets field Pastors, Babalawo and Imams

There is going to be three major plane crashes in the world, now, I remember, there was no plane crash last year, uhn?? some prediction

A political icon in America will die. , and some women will get pregnant

Robert Mugabe will face a serious crisis in 2010. , is this history or what


and to think only , 80 per cent of what he predicted would occur in 2009 have come to pass.

NOMINEES
BEST RAP SONG BY DUO OR GROUP
Too fine-Kel/Alaye/May D
Sample-Terry da rapman/Pherowshuz/Stereoman
Da finest-Knighthouse/Sauce kid/Teeto
Make doe-Da grin/dark poet

Da grin & Dark poet's make doe - Emi ni best,sugbon efe fun mi ni crown, okay let's not get carried away, we don't have to go over the lyrics again to convince ourselves that these cats were on point on this one.

Terry da rapman & Pherowshuz's sample - Now this is what i am talking about, I always knew someone was going to sample stereoman one day but i never knew it was going to be 2 of naija's finest lyricists. With the way Terry & Pherowshuz went in on this one it was clear to see why dem boys were not smiling. when you deliver lines like these dudes do, it is going to be quite difficult to be smiling at the same time.

Knighthouse's da finest - There is only one word with which this song can be described "respect". In the nearest future, this song will be remembered as the turning point in the careers of Teeto,Sauce kid & Mo cheddah. This is a song that puts the fear of God in you, when you listen to this song, the first thing that comes to your mind is who are these people & where are they headed. With cats like these the future of naija hip hop looks pretty bright.

Kel & Alaye's too fine - The first thing that makes this song really really nice is the beat. At this point in time, i believe that TY mix is hands down the best producer in Nigeria (sorry Don jazzy). How do you produce a song and have people start thinking it was produced by Irv gotti? That is a question only TY mix can answer. Kel & Alaye also didn't disappoint as their verses were sick and may d's hook was tight.

Tsiya:
If Yar'adua did not appear within the next 2 weeks, I bet the FEC and the NASS will do something. They will not allow us to crash. We are not going to crash land. We will get a new pilot soon who will pick up speed. It is just the Nigerian way of doing things. Dithering and procrastinating. Scheming and lobbying. Respect and differing. The pressure is mounting

Tsiya:
Nigeria is not a fail state and it is wrong to categorize Nigeria among the top states. Most of these states have rebel groups that are either fighting to secceed from the country or trying to tople the government. In Nigeria we have non of these.

Infact to prove the whole world how wrongly they percieve Nigerians, is the current state of our nation. Our President is missing, but still we are an entity. No fighting, no coupe, nothing.

Probably Nigeria is the only country that can function on auto pilot.
