Why are my yim miri brothers getting twisted out of shape anytime the topic of new SS states suffaces? Be informed that NASS is currently considering the following new states for the region:

South-South: Ahoada (Rivers); Toru Ebe (Delta, Edo, Ondo), Ogoja (Cross River), Urhobo(Delta), Minji Se (Rivers), Ado (Delta), Confluence (Edo, Kogi, Nasarawa), Bori (Rivers), Anioma (Delta), Oil Rivers (Akwa Ibom, Rivers), Warri (Delta) New Delta (Delta) and a few others.

edoyad: Affirmative action like you said is designed to aid minorities. Between warri and Hausa/ Fulani people, which to you is a minority tribe in Nigeria? What did Atiku tell PDP delegates in Rivers in 2011 ?

Your point is not cogent enough. Simply because Hausa/Fulani people are more in population does not mean that a marginalized segment of them should not benefit from so-called affirmative actions.

In the US for example, marginalized white people do benefit from affirmative actions.

Examine the number of University graduates in Nigeria and the need to bridge the gap with affirmative actions such as being discussed becomes obvious.

This is not a fund raising scheme to Jump start GEJ's 2015 ambition.

Every 'educated' southerner who has never been as far north as, at the very least, Kano, cannot truly claim to know his country.

This is a 'good' opposition ploy which we must hope will have the desired effect.

Buhari & Ojuyobo, noting do you people, this battle must be fought with all available tools. POP must go!!

Afam, call it a day, leave and return in 24 hours, refreshed and ready for duty.


Oga kpatakpata has pulled a good one on you people.

There is more drama here than we saw when baby Desola and one naijababe ganged up on me.

On a serious note, I think we've had enough of the drama. The reality is that we now have 2 mods in this section, Ogbeni OAM4J and Mazi Afam4eva. Lets help these mods make this section better than it has ever been.

NL provides many of you more than a shrink could ever give you. una Happy New Year o.

alj harem: this is some real crap. You all are running NL like a private business. What electoral process occurred and when before making a CHIEF BIGOT AFAM4EVA a mod ?

I know you would hide my comment but this is BS .

Alhaji, if indeed Afam4eva is the Chief Bigot as you claim, then making him a mod was a master stroke of genius because the act will defang him and render his bigotry impotent, because he will have to obey the rules.

BTW, Happy New Year. See ya after impending sabbatical.

Congrats Afam. Please note that the terms, Yoruba, aboki, or yamiri, found in any of my posts are essentially terms of endearment. If you ban me for using those terms, I offer these words in advance: "Egbe ndi Abriba piafuka gi blokos"

I have not read every post on this thread but I have to say that many of GEJ's critics here are being unfair, dishonest, and in some cases exhibiting gross bigotry.

We all know that the average Nigerian is lawless when it comes to abiding by existing traffic laws and this lawlessness, has caused untold number of accidents and deaths. Many of you drive on the wrong side of the road in Lagos or through unauthorized areas of the roadways, simply because there is a traffic jam ahead. If you people change your attitude, as GEJ is apparently suggesting, lives could be saved. Your lawlessness is just as responsible for deaths on our roads as the bad roads themselves.

Some of you bigots were hailing Fashola to high heavens when he said that we do not need constitutional amendments but a change in attitude. How is GEJ's statement worse than Fashola's.

You Nigerians are your own worst enemies and are enablers of the leaders who keep screwing you daily. abeg make I hear word.

Just today, gunmen attacked the Adamawa State border town of Maiha, shooting at the police, and setting fire to police stations, courts, and the Government Lodge, in a successful attempt to free imprisoned extremists and terrorists. This is the latest of such attachs which were carried out by terrorists who have bases in Cameroon and who operate with impunity right inside Cameroon.

A few months ago, Cameroon sent a letter to the authorities and informed them that they were planning to open a series of dams. Though their engineers knew the devastating effect and loss of life the dam opening would cost, they failed to inform the authorities of the impending grave danger and just how much devastation should be expected, thus, hundreds, if not thousands, of Nigerians died and billions of naira worth of properties were destroyed.

These series of acts from Cameroon, seem like acts of war to me. Time has come for Paul Biya to take a stand and control these terrorists who are operating freely within Cameroon.

I wish we did not have a sisi of a President who sits as a sitting duck, while our nation is attacked by riff raffs from within and without with impunity.

Cameroonians, sont vous notre ami ou ennemi? Are you our friends or enemies.

PDP and GEJ must go, come 2015.

[quote author=Dudu_Negro]Reserve comments. I dont know if the suggestion will be adopted or not. If it is then you can present your feelings about it. For now, I think miyetti Allah has won and it might be too late reversing the hands of clock....but I wish I can clasp my fingers around the throat of Karimi.[/quote]Nigerians have won. Eku odun keresimesi ati Salah o.

Have they deployed bomb sniffing dogs to the house? I'm pretty sure that power surge protectors filter incoming power into every device in the house. Is GEJ and his peep in the loop on this?

[quote author=Dudu_Negro]Has anyone heard about HB.11.10.130 of 2012?

This House Bill is to setup a commission authorized with statutory powers for forced acquisition of land territories that will be designated "National Grazing Route". This bill was sponsored by Karimi Sunday, a member representin Yagba, Kogi State.

This grazing route is a reservation for certain qualified pastoralists. It is not open to all Nigerians and encroachment or unlicensed use can be a violation of law.

This is just one of several insulting and offensive bills being proposed by members but I wanted to present this as an alternative idea to debating the number of civil servants on payroll.[/quote]WTF are you talking about? This is one of the most sensible bills introduced this year. Why don't you feel insulted when you are able to drive on roads because you are licensed to do so, but Fulani herdsmen who do not drive do not have access to the same roads? abeg make we hear word.

Jakumo: Any person spotted with a concealed pistol in Nigeria, and who is unable to produce a military or law-enforcement ID card, stands the real risk of either being chased down and beaten to death by an "irate" mob, on the assumption that the gun-toting civilian must be an armed robber, or, alternatively, of being shot without hesitation by the police, for the same reason. For the avoidance of doubt, Nigerian firearm statutes clearly state that outside of retired or serving military and law enforcement personnel, NO civilian is authorized by law to pack a concealed handgun in any public place.

she na me you dey call onye oshi, ko? I will submit ya name to Buhari's team for proper processing.

Your epistle was spot on, it is practically impossible to smuggle such a weapon by putting it in checked-in luggage and its a bad idea to smuggle it at all. You should do it like your comrades do, let ya brother wey dey work for embassy take it with diplomatic packages for you.

If dem catch you, na that day I go change my name from ndu_chucks to Ado.

BTW, when was the last time an angry mob lynched an armed robber carrying a concealed weapon, in naija?

[quote author=Ileke-IdI]Do you know something that we don't?

Is something big going to happen?

Hmm, I dey watch you.[/quote]Ileke bebeidi, why are you watching me? I thought it was common knowledge that the assault weapons ban will return in 2013 and purchasing such handguns will become quite difficult in 2013.

Aren't you supposed to be sleeping by now?

I urge Nigerians in the US to go out and buy multiple semi automatic concealable handguns, the type which can fire at least 10 - 15 rounds per magazine within 10 - 30 seconds, before they are banned. Do not return to Nigeria and move around willy nilly if you will be involved in publicized activities which will expose you as a JJC.

Not doing so will render you as a sitting duck which could be shot by useless savages for pennies. These armed robbers and kidnappers are cowards, your remedy is to fire on them while they try to molest you - trust me, they will run like chickens even with their guns.

These criminals will even come to your house with the confidence that they will not meet any type of resistance. Once again, let them in and wait for the mofos with your laser guided handgun. They will never return to bother you. Nonesense.

You can pick this one up for under $500 anywhere in the US, it is called "Bersa Thunder 40 Ultra Compact". If you cannot handle firearms, for goodness sake, employ mopos as bodyguards, it will cost you pennies. Life has no duplicate.

bizgynbala: Dear friends,

Once again, on behalf of my family and I and the government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, I, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, wishes every Nigerian a very Merry Christmas and a most prosperous and Happy New Year. GEJ

The incompetence of the GEJ's handlers is seen in everything the man touches. They can't even read and correct the gramatical error in his Xmas message. The red text should read: "I, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, wish every Nigerian". It should be, I wish instead of I wishes. mumus

To my Yoruba brothers and sisters, in the words of the great artist Ogunde: Yoruba Ronu o!! Nuff said.

mobwithdonald: The intervention of some Hausa (Suya sellers) and security officers in the neighbourhood prevented the ‘mad’ cow from sending Obinna to his early grave.

Bravo to the Hausa heros who saved Obinna's life.

I'd like to add that GEJ also deserves some credit for recent activities in the Power sector.

I wish our President great success in implementing his announced projects and in defeating BH and the foreign warriors who have invaded our country .

TRUTHTELA: I would have loved to reply you, but, starting a sentence with " Oga" I think it doesn't worth it going back and forth with a Carpenter, who calls "Oga", as if I'm here to give him a job. You can go to HELL!

Ngwanu Mazi, its OK to run away when confronted with superior points. Next time, pick an argument with people on your level. Okwute Egyptians piafuka gi isi, ewu can beer. mumu

TRUTHTELA: Wow, what sort of IGNORANCE is this? The Government Azazi, mentioned, he'still referring to the Northern elites in Govt. PDP- Still the Northern elites in PDP, and of course, the God fathers in the North. are still Northern elites. The NORTHERN ELITES ARE BEHIND BH, cos, their spokesman, Ciroma, said what they'll do and they've been doing it. Mr Dunce, the NORTHERN ELITES are the only ELITES very bitter with Jonathan. They lost out of the power scheme. If its not NORTHERN ELITES, is it the South-south elites that are enjoying the LOOT? Mugu, all the wealthy Northerners, STOLE their wealth from the OIL and resources in the Southern Nigeria. Atiku, Danjuma, IBB, Bamanga Tukur, Dangote, Yar'adua's etc, name them. They all have oil wells, shipping lines and all other businesses that flourish in the South. Or did they make their money from the OIL WELLS in Yobe and Katsina?? Or their shipping line docks at River Benue? Lugard told them and the British reaffirmed it to them during the civil war, " IF YOU EVER ALLOW THE SOUTHERN NIGERIA TO GO THEIR OWN WAY, HUNGER WILL NOT LEAVE YOUR DOOR STEP".Yes!!

Oga, why neutralize your sensibilities with this level of bigotry? You do yourselve a great disservice with this act of yours and I feel sorry for you.

You actually believe that the Northerners have the sole power to disallow Southerners from going their own way, ko? LWKMD

Oga, your leaders and elite in the South are in bed with their Northern counterparts to maintain the status quo. Their success in this matter depends on people like you remaining bigoted and blind to your leaders activities. You appear to be indeed a bigger fool than I initially thought. pele o.

TRUTHTELA: Your ignorance led to you CONTRADICTING yourself. Boko Haram is the military wing of the Northern Elites that was schemed out PDP power play. Azazi, was just polite when he mentioned PDP, he knew where he was going with that, ( he meant Northern elites in PDP, cos the Elites of South WEST, EAST and South-South are benefiting from the present arrangement), only the Northern Elites are DISGRUNTLED. When Adamu Ciroma, said "they'll make nigeria UNGOVERNABLE", do you think he was kidding? So far, Senator Ndume ( northern elite) & his cohorts have been nabbed communicating with the "REAL or POLITICAL Boko". Northern Elites, are PEASANTS and only the resources from the Southern Nigeria, can keep food on their table.

Question: Why is it that Elites from other regions are beating the DRUMS of DISINTEGRATION ( they want to stay on their own), only the Northern Elites want to CLING to the REPUBLIC. Why?

I gladly accept being labelled ignorant, and will continue to try to educate myself to deal with the problem. I submit that your own case is worse than ignorance, your intellectual dishonesty is apalling.

According to Azazi, BH = government, PDP, and some godfathers from the North. But in a blatant display of intellectual dishonesty, you limit BH to Northern elites. You can continue to sell your bigoted idea to your fellow dullards, but don't try that with me. mumu

TRUTHTELA: I have read some folks criticism over the proposed US military action to tame Northern Muslim Elites, Boko Haram.

Now, which of the two do you guys prefer?

USA drones or Boko Harams SLAUGHTERING of CHRISTIANS "DAILY"

If your argument is based on USA taking over the " RESOURCES" ( FYI, OIL GAS is not the future anymore and that's the only thing Nigeria has to offer)in Nigeria, better wake up. The resources have been plundered by your ELITES.

First of all, I take exception you your erroneouys characterization of Boko Haram as Northern Muslim Elites. This characterization smacks of ignorance and lack of understanding of the Nigerian condition.

I trust the characterization of Boko Haram which was provided by the late Gen. Owoeye Azazi, to wit: The government, PDP, and some godfathers from the North

Are you telling us that you want US military to come and fight the government, PDP, and some godfathers from the North, and you except the same government which would be under attack to sanction the said millitary action? Oga mi, that military action will not happen as long as GEJ is the President.

I believe Azazi's characterization - the man probably gave his life for speaking up.

afam4eva: I think we've been saying this for decades without actually seeing these people.

True, but that does not make the statement false.

Seun: If we know that the power sector will do better under the Professor than it will under someone else, we should give him another chance. Other considerations are not so relevant. We are not punishing the professor for his mistake; we're punishing the country, and that's not right.

Good point, but I don't believe that he is the only one who can perform. There are quite a few people who can actually do better than he has done without the baggage of conflicts. Given that he owns a generation plant and other power related assets, a bad cloud and distraction may mar his tenure.

0lumide: I think resigned because of the same conflict of interest but voluntarily not because he couldn't have gone the Alison Madueke way.

Whether the resignation was voluntary or not, is not the issue. The issue is that he resigned or was forced to resign because of a conflict of interest which he was aware of but did not properly safeguard. If he had taken appropriate actions to deal with the conflicts of interest before they affected his job, he would have remained a minister today. That to me, is failure.

He does not deserve a second chance, he blew his chance.

0lumide: I think he voluntarily resigned not because he was caught. Prove your statement!

You sound like a reasonable person. Would you care to tell me why a high performing popular minister would tender a resignation when his skills are needed the most? All could not have been well for him to have resigned abruptly.

0lumide: I thought he performed well as power minister.

If there is any reason we shouldn't have him, please state. I'm no ideological bigot; my mind is open.

Nnaji had conflicts of interests which were severe enough to warrant his resignation. He should have known better and recused himself from decisions which would be affected by the conflicting interests, but he tried to beat the system and got caught. Why would you want such a minister back?

seanet01: Na sanpona go severe the fingers you used to type this nonsense.
No be your arrogant leaders over there in the North established boko haram?
My only regret is the fools associating this with Buhari and the near naivity of elretardo to bomb the north back to stone age.
Anyway pdp is boko haram. While arewas are the foot soldiers

Who/what da heck is sanpona? You seems like a confused boy, olodo. There is enouh blame to go around, now is the time to fight this war, your President is not fighting hence you are losing. mumu
