It is sad to observe that it seems the 'office of the president' appears so lofty to some nigerians (especially those one expects to be intelligent), as to render their brains a mere lump of fat when it comes to issues requiring critical reasoning and appraisal.
We have all the evidence that GEJ is the most mentally bankrupt (most unintelligent/clueless/irresponsive/loser) president nigeria has ever had. Those evidences stare us in the face. Why won't disappointed ppl (including myself) call him names? Even foreigners now call him names like 'weak', just to put it mild (i.e. Diplomacy), cos if they really had their way, they have more sad things to say about Jona.

It takes an intelligent leader to devise EFFECTIVE and LONG-TERM solutions to a country's problems (or accede to/ reject such propositions when made by his cabinet).. But because the head (president) lacks a capacity to reason which is critical to the position he occupies, he attempted to buffer that by surrounding himself with 'intelligent' ppl like Okonjo-wahala, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, Rebuen Abati (who obviously constructs speeches and literally replies almost anything on retardeen's behalf, since he is too mentally handicapped to respond appropriately to queries). This, in my humble opinion makes the likes of Abati and Okonjo-wahala president by proxy.
GEJ is more or less a figurehead. His main area of interest (where he is a genius) is in systematic looting and sharing of public funds.
A good president, as I know, defends the interests of the masses and not a selected few cabinet members and legislators. For instance, David Cameron recently refused to sign an eurozone treaty BECAUSE HE THINKS IT DOESN'T FAVOUR THE PPL OF GREAT BRITAIN (his words). My own president can't ever stand his ground like that, since he knows nothing.
In January, GEJ was all over the place, saying fuel subsidy removal is the only way forward for nigeria (for a sustainable economy, for better infrastructure, for a better future for the youth, to create more jobs etc). Okonjo-wahala and SLS were prominent fighters who continuously painted pictures of how prosperous the near future would be if only nigerians would agree. I remember Ngozi saying things like "the pain will only be temporary".
Now, I ask ye who complain GEJ is being insulted:
1. Where is the money accrued from fuel subsidy removal since January?
2. Have you seen any 'palliative measures' Ngozi kept stressing will be put in place back then?
3. Have you heard anything of SURE recently?.. What is SURE doing to re-invest the 'subsidy gains'? (I laugh in ebira)
4. Has retardeen implemented 25% reduction in d basic salary of the executive?
5. Why, after subsidy removal, and all the new investment claims by retardeen, is the FG so broke as not to be able to pay the slaving youth corpers and some FG institution staff?
6. Why is Okonjo-Wahala and GEJ suddenly favouring borrowing from international agency? (i.e: What happened to d trillions gained on subsidy btw Jan and now??)
7. Did Obj or Yar'Adulling borrow from external sources? ..NO
8. Will Your president, who cares about you tell you "Boko Haram will fizzle out" OR "Boko Haram is an evil we have to live with" while your kinsmen die in numbers?
**Watch it oo. Some animal panel are already proposing an upward review of tuition fees in federal universities, to the tune of 450k or thereabout. I hope Mr retardeen will remember his father could not buy him shoes, yet he was able to attend school because some past presidents were thinking.

So many questions beg for answers here, all because of Mr president's ineptitude and hopeless cluelessness.

Summary: Mr GEJ is a foolish president. I am a nigerian and I love him much as his proponents do. Only that I am sincere with myself enough to admit I've got a hopeless president. If you can't, your children will tell you one day what you fail to realize now.
'nuff said.

^^Fellow NLers, from the driver's account given above, which sounds plausible to me, do some of us still think Damola1 is a good and respectable guy?

Well, use your instincts to decide.

I am not surprised at this latest revelation, and I insist Damola1 is a criminal who's had a cynical motive from the word go, as far as this issue is concerned. All he has done is to swindle Lekky, then comes here on NL to start fronting like a person who had good intentions ab-initio.

Not all nigerians are fools like u think, @Damola1. U are the fcking fool, trying to talk smart here. Your end will be tragic and sad except u take full responsibility for the carcas u sold to that unsuspecting man, cos God is watching you on HD.

Rubbish.

Having assessed the situation, IMHO, Damola1 is a damn fraudster.
You guys need to realize that fraudsters, in nigeria, are becoming rather confrontational in their manner of operation. They will swindle you and continue to try and pat you on the back afterwards (As against running into hiding, in those days). It is the latest trend, so I don't subscribe to the fact that Damola isn't a 419 guy simply because he has commented on this issue on NL. 419 get levelz.

That said, IF Damola really wants to refund the Alhaji, he would not be saying things like "return d car d way I gave u" (that's technically impossible, and Damola knows it. It is a very controversial remark), knowing fully well that even if d Alhaji fixes d engine and returns d car, Damola will then sell the car even for a price higher than 2M (since a maga had already put his bad engine in order). All the gain is for Damola, and all the pain for the buyer.

Anyway, truth remains: Alhaji no try. We'll all agree he caused all this by not taking the pains to scrutinize himself. BUT that Damola is a CONMAN.

NL dealers, sorry to say, I can never trust any of you for any reason, under any condition. Damola is a case study for all to learn.

I rise!

It is well. God be with him.

So much for the 'english champions'. Bunch of FA-assisted charlatans.

After all was said and done, 1 thing is obvious: Chelsea reps fcking england!

Beefers, y'all get that into your systems. Deal with it, sleep with it, dream with it!

1 more thing, chelsea will be at the next UCL. You don't have to believe till u see us there..

Hmm.. There can be no worse disaster..to think many innocent muslims will be mauled. The Christians have been pushed to the wall, and now they must turn back and attack their oppressors. It's a natural thing.

Enough of the sunday-sunday insult on the body of christ. It's the innocent lives that will be terminated I feel for.

BH has put ordinary citizens in deep sh*t.. God dey

Tactical move by Jona, courtesy of Abati who, probably, wove the words.

This however paradoxically highlights the relative disregard suffered by the nigerian families affected so far by BH killings, in the hands of FG. When will Jona (and Abati) stop this 'eye service' and sickening inconsistency?

Guess they aren't used to it, anyway.
Awon olodo gbogbo.

Well, class is permanent.

I'm certain Ibadan will remain on top of the ranks, anytime, anyday.

I've got a sneaking hunch Ciroma and other proponents for zoning at one time are pulling the strings, while hiding behind this BH mask.
I may be wrong.

Hullo baybbootz,

I feel ur pains too.
, and did u notice i have made my statement non-committal on the issue of alcohol?
I only deduced, from what i saw of his car, the possibilities and used the circumstances to charge fellow NLers not to take alcohol if they would drive.

Sometimes, if u can't work from question to answer, u should be able to work from answer to question. That's what i've done here.
I chose to disregard the truck driver not because he (and those bastards called police) had done what is right, but because the accident may not have occured if everything was right with C.E.O.

Over!

@ Ak4ril:
U're on point sir.

I mean he is more likely to have made attempts to avoid d crash if he had not been on alcohol's influence. If this is so, he would have swerved his car such that the collision impact would not be head-on like we saw in the pics of the crashed car. The other side of the story may be dat his speed was just too much that he could not bring the car to a halt before the crash, prolly because he saw d truck too late. Such happens when d mind is pre-occupied with other thoughts (loss of concentration)

The pic THAT I SAW tells me he ran into d truck straight on, meaning he wasn't oriented enuff to either recognize the truck (as a potential danger) or take safety measures. , and that is exactly what alcohol does,  THOUGH I DON'T HAVE PROOF HE WAS DRUNK, Da Grin WAS MOST LIKELY NOT HIMSELF WHEN THE CRASH OCCURED.

Yes, accident occured in the middle of the night, but his car had headlamps (developed using latest technology) and he wasn't going round a bend.

One could figure out all these, but i repeat, only God knows what exactly caused d crash and why O'Grin died.

Do u copy?

I may not know the exact cause of Omo Olorun's death.
However, this is my submission:

Trauma is one of the most terrible emergency situations dat can happen to man because it more often than not ends up affecting virtually all the organ systems in the body. Again, recovery of a poly-traumatized patient trauma is a much slower process compared to localized trauma. Da Grin was most likely polytraumatized, with internal injury to the brain (contusion or concussion) very likely. However, I did not see his CT Scan. He could rupture a viscus, say his spleen, if his steering wheel rammed into him. He could have suffered a kidney 'shutdown' from several causes ranging from blood volume problems to severe muscle trauma.

Now, even under the best healthcare conditions, He could still have died, basically because the sequence of internal events was progressing at a rate too rapid and the picture kept changing.

Let us not blame it completely on the quality of healthcare Da Grin received. Sometimes by the time it gets to that stage, things may already be out of hand. If we have optimal (d ideal) healthcare services in 9ja, does it give u liberty to go break ur head, hoping ur brilliant doctors and 'tech' health system will be there 4 u? Absolutely no!
So, PREVENTION IS KEY. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO PREVENT RATHER THAN REPENT. REPENTANCE MAY BE TOO LATE.

I hereby submit that whoever we are, wherever we are and however rich we may be, IF U KNOW U WILL DRIVE A VEHICLE PLEEASE DO NOT DRINK ALCOHOL. OTHERWISE GET A DRIVER (WHO MUST ALSO NOT TAKE ALCOHOL).
Cos if Da Grin was not under the influence/ euphoria of alcohol, he wouldn't have run straight into a truck, even it it was right in the middle of the road.
So sad.

Farouk go know say A/C no be fan

If u like go hell because of your human ranking univ.,i finished 4rm oou and less than 1yr now i ve been employed by one bank here,so 4 m oou is d best univ all over d world,take it or not.May b if i attend any of your so called,i may not get d opportunity.Well pray 4 God 2 give u better job,because here na certificate we they worship no b school my pple.

^^ Oun ti eye ba je l'eye maa gbe fo. Congrats on ur unspecified bank job. Considering u finished from OSU (OOU), u could as well be a bullion driver for all i care
With due respect to OSU, LASU, UNILORIN et al, when it comes to the meat of the issue (face-to-face/ 1-on-1), products of UI, OAU, UNILAG will ALWAYS represent. It's a function of the stuff they're made of, no be mouth.
So, for every 1 OSU product employed in every reasonable organization, 6-10 products of UI, OAU etc have been employed.
Gaskiya!

^^ and u think that is a good compliment?
Simply means Ilorin has no facility to cater for the number of students they admit. How can u score 90% and don't progress? That's a shame!

That was why UI reduced her undergraduate intake some years ago- to maintain a high standard of character and learning. Ppl like u were complaining bitterly then. Yet, you gat to be just good to survive your 1st year in UI, or else they send u back to ur mama.
Better stop washing ur dirty linen here!

, and do u think i am using 20 fingers, typing in my office?
It costs me nothing to supply u facts to address ur ignorance na!

what does getting political appointment through connection , make a school great explain. ui was the only university at the time. so what other option did we have.

^^ Did you mean getting political appointment by recommendation based on an excellent track record?
Check Osotimehin's profile out. He is not an uncouth fellow; a true intellectual; professor of chemical pathology; former provost, College of Medicine U.I.
Same for Olikoye, Ayodele Falase, Femi Bamiro et al.

It is called CLASS. We gat it. Geddit?

The facts speak for themselves:

dayokanu:
OAU, UI would always be tops in Nigerian context. They draw the best students and the internal competition amongst students is always keen.

The best students in secondary schools all want to go to UI, OAU, UNILAG and those top schools so basically whats left for the UNILORIN'S of these world are students who couldnt make it to UI, OAU, etc.

Tell me any good student you know of whose University of first choice was UNILORIN, UNISOKOTO or IMSU

Most of them go for UI, Ife, UNILAG, UNN etc.

These top schools also have the best faculty staff. Chinua Achebe, Wole Soyinka, Chike Obi, Ade Ajayi, Jubril Aminu and other top notch lecturers can only be found in these grade A schools.

The best secondary school students, grilled by Wole Soyinka's, Chinua Achebe etc can only be the best in the country

UI, OAU, UNILAG are the root from which others sprang. All other nigerian universities are second-line.

U.I. is the best, not only because she recently defeated other famous African Universities at the Zain Africa Challenge, but the quality of teaching and research is superb. Like Dayo said, products of good schools speak for them, e.g. There is an endless list of products of U.I. (likewise, OAU) who have pioneered learning in other institutions in Nigeria (and that was how many of these universities some ppl are hyping here grew). Few other examples from UI include: Prof E. Latunde Odeku (1st neurosurgeon in africa), Prof. Olikoye Ransome-Kuti, Prof B.O. Osuntokun, Prof Adelola Adeloye, Prof Kola Obisesan (provost, College of Medicine, LAUTECH), Prof M.T. Shokunbi, Prof Olumuyiwa Awe, Prof. Oluwole Adebo (Provost, C.O.M., BOWEN University), Prof Babatunde Osotimehin, far too many products of these first-line Universities played pivotal roles in the development of these OSU, LASU, UNILORIN, LAUTECH, UNAD etc and some ppl are heaping shame on their schools here.

True, everyone here wants to support their alma mater. True also is the fact that most products of the second line universities had attempted to gain admission into the first-line at some time. Dayokanu said it all up there
