SouthEast: So no quota system in religion? Yo wanna field two Muslims in a religiously divided country as NIGERIA? You are a non starter.

BekeeBuAgbara: The incumbent vice president is from the North, are they satisfied with that position? The answer is no. Replacing Sambo with Buhari won't make them happy.

But wait, who will tell the former head of state to be boy boy to Fashola? Abi the person no de fear? . Op, you should know that what the North is clamouring for is the number one seat not number two.

Ikengawo: Fashola is a child to Buhari. In nigeria's culture such a ticket wouldn't go anywhere because it makes no sense. As well as Fashola has done, he's not the only nigerian with sense, nor is Buhari. Years of being battered by IBBs and Abachas has left us believing the mediocre is excellent. Fashola is ok, Buhari is far below average. I know a man like Buhari could never win a US city mayoral election and Nigeria is in the league of nations like everywhere else and shouldn't have a lower standard for its PRESIDENCY.

Sincere 9gerian: Great article. But will they listen?

Rossikk: You're talking 1000% garbage while displaying a pathetic and shameful inferiority complex.

Here's a few lessons to cure your mental illness.

1) Under apartheid, the townships for the most part HAD NO ELECTRICITY. As in there weren't connected to the national grid. Same applied to the numerous rural bantustans into which the black majority were herded. This is what the whites you worship will never tell you. In fact today power distribution has become democratised in South Africa, which is WHAT has led to power rationing. So which is better? Constant power for the 5% white minority under apartheid and near zero power for the black majority, OR 85% power availability for EVERYONE as obtains today? Of course SA is a developing country, so 24/7 power for all is an ideal being worked towards, not something that ought to be there, because it NEVER WAS there.

SEE, F0LKS LIKE YOU NEED TO USE YOUR BRAINS, RESEARCH THINGS, AND GET RID OF YOUR stup.id and ignorant ''BLACK IS BAD, WHITE IS GOOD'' COMPLEX.

2)As for Haiti, THAT COUNTRY would be a paradise on earth today if she did not have to pay 80% of her annual national earnings to FRANCE since independence in the 1800s right up till the 1960s -or risk ''annihilation'' by the allies- as payback for denying France her 'property' owing to her declaration of independence from the latter. Not to mention the numerous US military interventions to remove populist, elected leaders like Aristide, and impose pro-US dictators on that land.

ARISTIDE BANNED THE IMPORTATION OF US RICE, saying that Haiti, once a net exporter of rice and other staples, HAD NO BUSINESS IMPORTING US RICE, and impoverishing her own farmers. Shortly thereafter he was removed in a coup led by US marines. (CNN never told you all this in their 'heart wrenching' reports on Haiti did they?)

This from the UK's Guardian Newspaper:


America's subversion of Haiti's democracy continues

Even though former President Aristide has eschewed politics since his return from exile, the US is still threatening him.

When the "international community" blames Haiti for its political troubles, the underlying concept is usually that Haitians are not ready for democracy. But it is Washington that is not ready for democracy in Haiti.
Haitians have been ready for democracy for many decades. They were ready when they got massacred at polling stations, trying to vote in 1987, after the fall of the murderous Duvalier dictatorship. They were ready again in 1990, when they voted by a two-thirds majority for the leftist Catholic priest Jean-Bertrand Aristide, only to see him overthrown seven months later in a military coup. The coup was later found to have been organized by people paid by the United States Central Intelligence Agency.

SEE, IF THE USA AND FRANCE DID THE SAME THING TO WHITE ICELANDERS, THEY WOULD SUFFER AS WELL, SO IT'S NOT A SKIN COLOUR THING, MUCH AS THEY HAVE DECEIVED YOU INTO THINKING.

Most countries in Sub-Saharan Africa are not on-track to meet the MDG sanitation target: Why do these governments continue to let their children die in such large numbers from preventable sanitation-related diseases like diarrhoea?

solomon111: I am not doubting them,but i would really like to know how they got their stat.
Who & who did they consult?

BlackBaron: Choi!

Shame just dey catch me...daylight robbery wey no get Part 2.
Same way somebody announce a virtually impossible 98% vote from the SE for the incumbent.

Shows our leaders are not yet born, the proceedings in that room is a microcosm of Nigeria as a whole.From the lieing pseudo religious baby faced liar (Jang) offering testimonies at church to God, to the opportunists who shift camps like 'weathercocks!'

nuclearboy: How do you shame people who are shameless? An election amongst 35 adults, leaders, governors who EACH have control over Billions, taken to conclusion, and announced and NOW with video evidence, is being contested and disproved YET you want to shame these?

How?

Ultimately, I see a situation of total anarchy because these WILL wish to manipulate 2015 and only God knows what will follow! Someone who I now see as very wise, said after 2011, that everyone who supported Jonathan will regret it! Amaechi's turn has come now! The web warriors will have their day soon, before or by 2015, because these things always come back to bite one in the back-side

taharqa2: Just read this Exciting info smwhere b4 logging on. I mean one does not need to overstate how extremely, extremely Important this move is.... A National Emergency No in Nigeria? Finally. Very Big Kudos to those pushing this

ajanaku2: Ogbeni, nobody's saying Achebe's "Things fall apart" is not a good book and has not been translated into several languages....

As a matter of fact, that book is his only noteworthy book, the rest are just average...Should he be informally crowned as the "Father of modern African literature" just 'cos of one remarkable book?

babyosisi: Prior to 1975,how many black men had received the Nobel prize in science or arts?
Answer that question please

shymexx: No, the only reason why people compare Achebe to Soyinka is because of his "Things Fall Apart" book that counteracted Joseph Conrad's racist "Heart of Darkness." He fed off that energy and truth be told, without that energy, I doubt Achebe belongs to the same class as WS in literature, in its purest form.

That's the truth and nothing but the truth!!

I'm out, yo!!

shymexx: "Nigerian disease: Nigerians need to be purged of a certain kind of arrogance of expectations, of demand, of self-attribution, of a spurious sense and assertion of entitlement. It goes beyond art and literature. It covers all aspects of interaction with others. Wherever you witness a case of ‘It’s MINE, and no other’s’, ‘it’s OURS, not theirs’, at various levels of vicarious ownership, such aggressive voices, ninety percent of the time, are bound to be Nigerians. This is a syndrome I have had cause to confront defensively with hundreds of Africans and non-Africans. It is what plagues Nigeria at the moment – it’s MY/OUR turn to rule, and if I/WE cannot, we shall lay waste the terrain. Truth is, predictably, part of the collateral damage on that terrain." - Prof. Wole Soyinka

babyosisi: Rejected the title?
Bwahahahahahahahahahaha
If I called Seun Osewa the father of Nigerian blogging,he will most likely laugh it off and say that he was just trying to make a difference in his little corner and doesn't deserve a title
It is called being gracious
