mikeansy:
Can you advice us why the deal did not involve sustaining the FEC as it is which more than anything were simply protecting Yardy's interest.

I think the naive one here is the man who believe's in a myth.

Who are the powers that be anyway? A group of folks who majority of them do actually want Yar'dy's job?

All progressives in the Muslim North have a choice to follow progressives like El-Rufai lets all move this country forward or risk being left behind.
I will remind you in a few months that Yar'Adua has not been impeached.  You think the "powers that be" is a myth? Ok o. I don hear.

so you don't know the difference between having a President and having an acting President acting for someone unseen?
You are missing the point buddy! Jonathan has full presidential executive powers. I suspect you wouldn't mind rocking the boat so that Jonathan is called the President. Please tell me what difference that would make, at this point in time. 2011 is just arround the corner.

If Yar Adua is removed, nothing will happen.
That's a big "IF".  I wonder why he has not yet been removed. You people sound quite naive to me - you should have known by now that, GJ and the powers that be, have made deals that will prevent the impeachment of Yardy. If you don't believe that, then you are quite ignorant of the Nigerian political climate.

It will be worth reading the article first before commenting. Your response shows you have not.

Thanks
I reads the article. I believe it is designed for the consumption of Americans and its basically a PR mechanism for El Rufai.

El Rufai did not write about any new issue, everything he talked about is well known to us.  The title of the article "Time for a New Nigerian President" represents his main point which he supported with various common knowledge.  He is dead wrong to conclude that we need a new president now.  Why?? We have Jonathan!

Politics › Re: Time For A New Nigerian President - By El-rufai by nduchucks: 10:19pm On Apr 01, 2010
Why is El Rufai calling for a new President at this point in time? GJ is acting President with full presidential powers and the next presidential election is slated for 2011 or shortly thereafter, so this call by El Rufai is senseless. Rufai appears to be oblivious to the political system in Nigeria and this ignorance may account for the currentg troubles he has with the law.

Our best bet is to allow GJ to continue as acting President until the next election. El Rufai's analysis is flawed in this case. Any attempt to remove Yar'Adua from office at this point will lead to more instability and danger.

new president ko, new emperor ni.
Culture › Re: I Am Not Igbo, I Am Ikwerre! by nduchucks: 7:16pm On Mar 29, 2010
This Ikwerre bruhaha is probably not unrelated to the fact that the ND oil rich areas occupied by the Ikwerre need to be seen as Igboland in the grand scheme of things. I wonder whether this would have been so much of an issue without the oil in that area.

naijaking1, No one in his right mind will try to defend pedophilia, a dispicable crime. You are the one who introduced politics by asking the question "But how come he has managed to climb so high in Nigerian politics?"

I responded to your question that  "I suspect he cliimbed so high because other "qualified" people are too much of cowards to participate in politics - they specialize in criticisms instead. What a pity!"

Instead of responding to my response to you, you chose to rant about pedophilia in your usual Maradona manner. Keep it up, we see what you are trying to do.

It should be noted that as a result of the 2009 publication of the debtor list, several hundred billions of naira have been recovered from the listed debtors.  The CBN act of releasing the list has been justified.

The service will be over in a few minutes, Yar'Adua will not be attending this one.  You all can go and rest now.
Politics › Re: Yar’adua To Attend Jumat Service by nduchucks: 2:03pm On Mar 26, 2010
The reaction to most of you to Yar'Adua's attendance of the Jumat service shows extraordinary insensitivity and evil. If Yar'Adua and his relations believe that he would receive healing by going to the service, who are you to question them?

Yar'Adua is a human being first - so let's respect the man and let him try to work through his illness in peace. Yar'Adua himself has issued statements recognizing GJ and acting president.

I'm sure when many of you hear that some foreign healer is coming for a crusade, you'd do all you can to attend because you expect miracles.

If Yar'Adua is able to attend the service, then we should all be thankful that he is receiving healing. Please let Yar'Adua be and let us all wish him well.

Reminder: You've left a long trail of paper to show your position on this issue.
I like the way you say "convicted" Yes, we should just wait for the convictions or aquitals undecided
I see you have chosen to read my post carefully this time. Now, go and reread other posts and you'll note the consistency. I personally believe that most of the charges against these people are with merit and I expect some of them to be convicted - there is nothing ambiguous about my position. I do not believe that any of them should be labbelled as criminals before conviction, but I reserve the right to believe that they are guilty, before the said conviction.
Politics › Re: Judge Tells Sanusi To Stop Parading Suspects In The Media by nduchucks: 6:06pm On Mar 24, 2010
naijaking1:
I know a lot of people don't believe in the concept of "innocent until proven guilty", especially when emotionally charged political issues are concerned, but a judge has gone out his way to caution the CBN governor Sanusi against trying political and professional opponents in the media. While nobody expected the judge to summarily dismiss the charges against the defendant, his direct warning also goes to many memebers of this forum such as biina and ndu-chucks who don't believe that a person is indeed innocent until a court of law(not Sanusi) proves them guilty.
Stop your false accusations, Im not against due process!  I hope when any of these people are convicted, you'd finally find a way to condemn their criminal and irresponsible acts which I believe many of them commited.

You failed to highlight the fact that the judge found enough grounds to refuse to quash the corruption charges brought against these people.  See below:

Justice Ajakaiye, however, refused to quash corruption charges preferred against the former Managing Directors of Bank PHB, Francis Atuche and that of Spring Bank Plc, Charles Ojo, by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Now its your turn to be ashamed of yourself for analogizing the destruction of shareholder value worth trillions of naira to a annoying and harmless house rat.

As someone mentioned, the sacked CEOs over exposed their banks to the stock market and lost depositors funds when the market crashed, granted loans to themselves via proxy companies without following due process, and all the while presenting a false picture of being healthy while in truth they were going belly up!  Thats no rat in the house buddy, its more like vicious termites and bugs that have infested 95% of the house!

hahah lmfao IBB can win in Nigeria- i keep saying that.

When I heard people wanted IBB to comeback I was like HELLL NO- but he is one of the VERY few people that can preside over naija firmly.
If he says true federalism in nigeria- no notherner will oppose him
If he says no sharia that it undermines the constitution- no northerner will oppose him.
He has the respect of the military

He definately has the power to change Nigeria if he wanted to.
He's been saying the right things about federalism and other important issues lately. Despite the misconceptions, I agree with you that IBB could win a free and fair election in Nigeria. He could carry the NE, NW, SE, and possibly SW; the electorate believes that all our leaders are guilty of corruption and like you, believes IBB can indeed make a positive change in the country.  If he can come across as a repented old man who has nothing to gain from being a President except build a better legacy for himself, voting Nigerians will buy it.

The man enjoys incredible amount of goodwill particularly after his wife died recently. Additionally he is one of the smartest politicians Nigeria ever had.  Let' also remember that he pulled out of the presidential race to alow Yar'Adua to run - I wouldn't rule him out at all.  If he runs, I doubt Jonathan would accept the VP spot.

There is no millitary solution for the ND problem, the political solution which people like Akhibe are working on is the only viable one. MEND is not doing any ND citizen a favor by disrupting this political process with terrorist activities.

US Dismisses Report on Troop Intervention


The US State Department has flatly denied a newspaper report that alleged President Barrack Obama is preparing American troops for a “special intervention” in Nigeria.


In a statement issued by the State Department, it said "we have done nothing to suggest that our concerns are only based on our desire to retain it as a source of dependable oil production."


Making reference to the said publication, the State Department press officer of African Affairs, Russel Brooks, added: “The Nigerian Compass newspaper says it bases its story on comments by the U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) chief, General William Ward.


“The Compass says Mr. Obama would send troops to Nigeria if the country broke up and widespread chaos threatened oil production.”
But Brooks described the story “In a word, flabbergasted. This story is a complete fabrication.


“There are no U.S. troops being prepared to intervene in Nigeria. We have checked with AFRICOM and General Ward has made no such statement,” he said.


Brooks said had the Compass reporter checked his facts, “he would have learned that, in fact, there are no troops assigned to AFRICOM for them to put on alert.”
The press officer said the “fabrication…is made up from speculation about concerns that the U.S. may have about the situation in Nigeria.”

Your style is not new. You try to tear down and sow discord from the inside but it is no more working. I wonder why you should prefer a name that sound Igbo on nairaland, or even okeymadu. It says a lot about how your mind works. MEND does not necessarily need Akighibe right now, you know why? Their bros is incharge. So deal with it. No matter how hard you try to divide MEND into 2 on nairaland, they keep doing their thing and command a lot of sympathy in the creeks. Ok, let me make it easier for you- the kind of sympathy YOU have for CRIMINAL Iranian dictatorship. Clearer now?[/quote]Why don't you address any particular issue I've raised instead of your attention seeking attack on personalities? Do you support the recent killing of innocent ND civilians by MEND? Do you agree that the said innocent killings constitute acts of terrorism?

I respect the man enough to believe that he was not lying when he said he was not aware of the plan to set off the bombs.  You have to admit that MEND shot itself on the foot on this one.


Ibime:
You dey mind am?

Someone who associated himself after the Lagos blast will now dissociate himself after the comparatively mundane Warri blast?

Aaron team should press full on ahead with their negotiations independently. Aaron Team is to MEND what Sinn Fein is to IRA. Nobody has to question Aaron team because they are not involved in operations. Their only brief is to discuss politics.
Don't attempt to tarnish Akhigbe's image, you people have done enough to squander the goodwill you've been enjoying - MEND is a certified terrorist organization, the recent bombing is just another manifestation of this fact.

Onlytruth:
Thank you for the above. This is the second time you've said the truth while commenting on my thread. tongue tongue
I've always spoken truthfully if you pay attention to what I write. The fact that my perspective may be different attimes does not mean that the relevant statement is a lie. If I make a factual error and I'm corrected, I will stand corrected.

Onlytruth:
Ol'boy you don start again o.
We are talking of the US census here. I don't know whether you've been to the US before, but information is GOLDEN here for planning. This census happens every 10 years. A Vietnamese goes to the hospital and gets attended to by nurses who speak Vietnamese. Why not speak french to them? Meanwhile they may even be less in number than Ndigbo. Nigeria is not even classified as one of the "English speaking countries" of note per se. In Africa, only South Africa qualifies for that in exams where English as first language is considered. English is a SECOND Language among Nigerians though the official language.
This is about proper representation in public administration. If you stand up, you will be counted in the US. That is why the announcer called it an "Onye kwe chi ya ekwe" moment.
I still maintain that an interest group consisting of all Nigerians in the USA will be more effective than that consisting of one tribe, all things being equal. Standing up as one (Nigerian) will get you more clout in the USA than what you are indirectly promoting.

Its not about whether one believes that Gaddafi's statement is true or false, its about not meddling in sensitive internal affairs of nations with which one has diplomatic relationships. Gaddafi's statement is totally undiplomatic and reckless - recalling the ambassador is the correct protest move.

This suggestion is in the best interest of Igbo residents in the USA for obvious reasons. It is also legitimate because according to the census bureau, people may have chosen to provide two or more races either by checking two or more race response check boxes, by providing multiple write-in responses, or by some combination of check boxes and write-in responses.

However, one would have thought a campaign to write-in "Nigerian" as a race would have served us better in the long run. Numbers matter.
