This is how it starts...as a rumor. Next you will hear him saying people are calling on him to continue on his third term.

O God Almighty....... we need your intevention in Nigeria.

Richfella: Bro your argument is very lopsided. So our government officials do not watch DSTV, buy rice, cement, kerosene, pay rents etc. And of course they don't make phone calls too.

The Chinese say that a journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step. You should encourage what this brave woman is trying to do (I don't even know who she is - infact I'll have to check the first post to even see her name).

Nigeria is bad, Nigeria is bad, change has to start from somewhere. First a trickle, then it pours. We should encourage these few brave souls who try to change things for the better. This could stimulate/embolden lots of others to act likewise.

I get what you are saying, but if you are an average Nigerian like me, you pay for all those services from your pocket/salary.

But those guys? the govt pays for all these,so they dont feel the pinch. It is only the flights that eat into their pockets because of their constant junketing all over the world.

Why do you only hear these govt officials barking when it is about a matter that concerns them?

What about the exploitation by telecoms firms?
What about DSTV?
What about cost of rice?
What about cost of cement?
What about astronomical rents?
what about dangote's monopoly?
Fuel price nko?
kerosene fa?

All this one is not of concern to them, they are shouting themselves hoarse over flight fares.

Wetin concern Agbero wit overload? Why do you only hear these govt officials barking when it is about a matter that concerns them?

fm7070: make this boko-haram no give US change to come nad loot our oil oooooooooooo

You say? What do you think they have been doing for over 50 yrs now? With Exxon and Chevron? Of coure with connivance of unpatriotic Nigerians.

The American, nay global film audience is so sophisticated and discerning that mere shooting of Drama (nollywood style) will not go anywhere on the world stage (I agree some west Africans "appreciate" nollywood. So to do real film production, u have to spend real money.

Take the example of James Cameron's "Titanic": He had to build a 3/4 scale model of the ship, construct a big water tank/ pool by the beach to accommodate the ship, hire hundreds of stunt men and even sponsor a research expedition to the depths where the original Titanic lay in the bowels of the North Atlantic, not to talk of restoring the prop Titanic to near-1912 decor, at times using actual items recovered from the original ship, and contacting actual companies that manufactured some of the items in 1912 (some of the companies were still in operation as at 1995-7, during the shooting of the film).

Thats how Oscars are won.

@ OP: Are u looking for that job?

Why do you guys think Nigerian masses had to pay more at the petrol staion at the beginning of the year? They need to generate more money for their luxury!!

Obviously fighting to retain his seat because of the impending cabinet reshuffle.

At times it seems Nigeria is cursed with the shallowest of brains in leadership positions.

While not condoning the despicable act that happened 29 years ago, I want to ask the OP why it took her this long to expose him:

1-Is he now a very rich man (politician, corporate/religious leader, etc) and you want a very big settlement?

2-Why give us information piecemeal, that you will later publish his name, facebook details, etc? a blackmail/bargaining chip to make him pay you a huge amount?

TOM & JERRY is the cartoon of all time!!!!!

amtheone:
The so call FG should go and sit down. They should kip their mouth shut. Is SA not one of the countries in Africa. If SA can develop their own to a standard that Nigerians are queuing up for visa what stop them(FG) from doing so.

Other African countries are busy developing their countries, our FG is busy stealing. Corruption wont allow them.

AND truth be told, you dont need to get vaccinated to get a Yellow Fever certificate in Nigeria. Just send the necessary naira and your certificate will be ready.

Unfortunately in Lagos/Most of Nigeria these days, smart = dishonest, lying, ready to grab undue advantage, ability to take wht is not yours by conning, swindling, and ability to steal govt/ corporate funds undetected.

shagaman:
The fact remains that in the same school this boy attends,we would clearly see students who would stand their ground and speak good english,the boy lacks proper upbringing,silly son of a foolish father, The way the father handled the issue is bad

Omo ti ekun babi ekun loo maa joor,

I thought as much. This boy is a good candidate for future armed robbery, yahooism, cultism, and everything that is a product of bad parenting.

It is just a sign of mental deficiency. They think they have to make others inconvenient for their worth to be established. And we have ineffective laws/enforcement to stop it.

sunkoye:
NOPE, this is a way too far!!!

How do you compare that to the billions being spent on criminals in the name of militants?

HATERS GONNA HATE!!! YOU CAN HUG THE TRANSFORMER, JUMP INTO THE LAGOON, OR BETTER STILL, INTO YOUR CREEKS

Why lash at the poor soul after his death? is he the only person that "will twist the truth and distort reality in order to achieve his goals"? Tell me how many business/political leaders are exempt from this? very few.

It is an undisputable fact that Mr. Jobs revolutionalised the tech industry along with his colleagues at Apple, introducing game-changing and paradigm-shifting gadgets like th iphone, ipad, etc.

I sense a smear campaign from either or all of Android,BB and Symbian Chaps.



Allow the man to rest in peace, jare.

This thing called toto, The downfall of many great men.

This woman has completelty rubbished herself.

From a superhero anti-fake drugs darling  to a political underdog trying to reap where she did not sow.

Anty dora, go back home, take car eof your husband and children, and maybe establish a corner store chemist to keep busy

Typical street upbringing. I will not dignify your posts with further responses.

gaddafe:
Lets call a spade, a spade. How do you expect the public to see someone working for a govt he vehemently criticised?

Now this is why i love GEJ. He keeps appointing people with proven integrity. I just hope Nuhu Ribadu has not Fu, c ked himself up by receiving this appointment.

My brother, that is how I see it. Lets not forget in a hurry how the likes of Dora and Abati joined thegovt and transformed overnight.

And come to think of it, was Ribadu not used by the Ota Baboon to witch hunt political foes during his tenure?

bucho:
I think it's time the moderators of this forum start making security provisions,never knew we have terrorists in our midst and desperate ones at that.@Ayatullah u're embarking on a 'MISSION IMPOSSIBLE'.
@Novice 1, I can understand ur envy for Soyinka's status;by digressing from the discourse u just exposed ur ignorance and will continue 'eyeing' that position till death.

It may interest you to know I am not interested in those "positions". I am content with just being myself and impacting others positively needing only DIVINE rewards. and for you and the holder of that "position" you worship so tenaciously, will the "position" make you immortal?

Sentiments aside, the man's words have some substance. We tend to "deitify" some people unneccessarily b/c they achieve a status many could have achieved given the same opportunity/circumstances.

Take the average deprived Nigerian child off the streets and take him to a functional society and expose him to world-class education, he may turn out better than some of the guys we "deitify".

It is a case of the one-eyed man being the king.

Why all the grammar? Just say you have "come to chop", Nigerian politician style-- AGIP (Any Govt In Power) syndrome.

moremi2008:
The[b] real shocker in this news article is that he worked as a doctor for TWO YEARS before being nabbed[/b]!!!! And he wasn't even nabbed by his colleagues or by hospital administration (he was only nabbed because of an external order for online registration). That's just tragic! I have always insisted that Nigerian hospitals are at best, centers for palliative care and at worst places to go die. The country is full of half-baked medical doctors trained on outdated medical texts and with zero access to clinical research. An all-round source of shame! No wonder everybody that can afford it goes abroad for medical care. I have friends who won't even go for basic medical or dental check-ups in Nigeria.

NO, THE REAL SHOCKER IS HOW HE GOT EMPLOYED IN A JOB AS CRITICAL AS A MEDICAL DOCTOR IN A GOVT INSTITUTION WITHOUT BEING DETECTED

Nonsense NUPENG, you think you are more important that other sectors, just for nothing, you start strike. Ever think what will happen when other better professionals start what you think you are doing, what will be your fate. You are just lorry drivers, and nothing other than that, so you should grow some brain cells and understand that we care less about your constant threat. Stew peed fuuls

Seconded. They are just a bunch of over bribed, overfed, ego-bloated illiterates not far from NURTW touts. Most of the NUPENG leaders are just after bribes and settlement. I speak as an insider.

Last Year my company's truck was arrested by LASTMA. I approached the NUPENG excos to intervene and they demanded a bribe of N 100k to intervene in the release the truck from LASTMA.

ANd this is not to talk of an assortment of obnoxious levies/fees they levy on members everyday (enforced by threats/intimidation)

To hell with your silly skul, what use are they for the society, slow creting like you

I have decent parents that gave me excellent upbringing; I dont engage in insults. I am above that.

LMAO No matter how much Aboki spend on wear, Aboki will still remain Aboki

why all the tirade against "Abokis"? Are you not ashamed that at the slightest provocation, you find a convenient bashworthy group of people to descend on?

Get a life, man.
