The boy should shut the f.ck up. If his conscience is not pricking him why go to such lengths to make an explanation?

Look at them all looking like overfed pigs. Overfed on people's sweat and suffering.

Jega is incorruptible. I knew that way back in 1992/93 when he was my lecturer and ASUU president. IBB wanted to bribe him (when all he had was a lecturer's salary) and he refused. Not only did he refuse, he revelaed the offer to the public at an ASUU-organised symposium.

UP JEGA. May we have more people like you in Nigeria!!!!!!

May Allah make Jannat Firdaus Malam's Abode, Ameen.

Trust the Nigerian system. By the time we have a sizeable number of bicycles, they will start number plates, taxes and all other ways to sxtort from bicycle owners

His Excellency, Alhaji, DR. Chief, Otunba, Igwe, Prince, Blablabla, GGC,PHCN,NFA,CFR,MON, etc. at public gatherings, or in documents.

While not just mention the person's name and maybe brief title, and get on with business?

werepeLeri:
Big deal?

Very Big Deal. Compare that to our own Patience going to shop in, say, Wuse Market in Abuja. How possible?

GT has been the most successful Nigerian bank so far.

I wouldn't be surprised if there is sabotage angle to it.

JazakalLah!!!!!

Bad Belle !!!!!!!!!!!!

Kabikala:
Yar'Adua is better forgotten. Because anytime I try to remember what he did and failed to do as president, he is not worthy to be remembered as a patriot. He actually represented a disaster to the country called Nigeria.
Yar'Adua was the one who was shielding Ibori from prosecution and gave him unfettered access to Aso Villa, claiming, he could not abandon his friends. Now Ibori is eating the humble pie under a less friendly Jona' regime.
Umaru also appointed the notorious Andoakaa who did his best to scuttle the prosecuction of corrupt people.
Umaru dithered so much on the Uwais Report on electoral reforms for almost two years such that we had very little time left in 2011 to have a credible election. The near constitutional impasse in Imo State would have been totally avoided had Umaru been decisive and sincere enough about electoral reforms.
This was a man who left the country rudderless by failing to comply with the provisions of the constitution to hand over to his deputy when he was leaving the country for medical treatment.
Too many things to say. Umaru was a sheer waste of space.

If he was a tremor to Nigeria, then OBJ was a magnitude11 earthquake resulting in a gigantic tsunami wave that destroyed whatever Nigeria achieved in its existence

blacksta:
WHo gives a flying fuc  - History only remembers those who left behind postive footprints  - Unfortunately Yar adua was forever leaving foot prints at saudi hospitals.

This should serve as a lesson to present leaders - stealing populous wealth cant buy you a lasting legacy - Hence People like Gani, AWO, ZIK and many more important folks would never be forgotten

Yar'adua left more positive legacies in his 2.5 years than all of OBJ's 8 years.
He went to a Saudi hospital for a very serious ailment (pericardiasis), while your people run to UK, Germany, US, etal, at the slightest hint of a headache.
He was the first Nigerian president to publicly declare his assets (I dare OBJ or GEJ to do that).
His legacy of amnesty to the ND bandits brought calm and peace to Nigeria, Oil production went up phenomenally.

Should I go on?

[quote author=Mr, Cork link=topic=660116.msg8263872#msg8263872 date=1304596997]the man iz ugly (no oofeinse)[/quote]Hey, pot calling kettle black.
If he was ugly, then by those standards GEJ will be a baboon.

Was it not on this very forum that people were chastising him for various real and imagined shortcomings?
Was it not on this forum that people were calling him names when he was battling for his life?
Was it not on this forum tha people were ridiculing his family at a time when they needed sympathy and compassion?

It never ceases to amaze me how inherently hypocritical, bigoted and biased some nairalanders are. People forget that everyone will eventually die.

Anyway, May Allah (The Mighty and Exalted) grant the late President eternal rest, Ameeen.

Gadafi called them ‘miscreants’. The U.N. called them Libyan rebels. President Jonathan called the Nigerian version ‘miscreants’. I called them Rebels without a cause. Everybody else calls them Almajiri. If your ballots are stolen, and the Police and Courts do nothing, it is legitimate to go violent - like in Libya. NATO is supporting the Libyan miscreants bombing shit out of those that stole their wealth. In Nigeria, we vote for our thieves, our heroes.

Democracies are not won by words but by the blood of martyrs and innocents, because autocrats NEVER give up power easily - the English Civil Wars, French Revolution, American War of Independence – blood, blood, blood – and autocrats always call rebels “miscreants”. In Africa blood still flows. In Kenya 1000 died when Mwai Kibaki tried to cheat Raila Odinga. South Africa, Mozambique, Angola - their paths to democracy all soaked in blood.

Few countries got independence like Nigeria on a platter of Gold. But soon the Gold tarnished and the blood began –Operation Wetie in wild west, Coups, Igbo genocide in the North and Biafra, all because 1964 elections were rigged. In our present Democracy hundreds have died - Ekiti, Ondo, Uyo, Ebonyi? In Jos, they rigged a local Government Election on 28th November 2008. The Almajiri began burning and killing. They fought the police with machetes. The police shot over 400 of them. A cold kind of heroism.

With the Presidential elections the North exploded. The miscreant Almajiri were killing again. They were cursed for “irrational” violence but no one asked why the youth corpers were targeted? I want to change that debate, by asking – the Almajiri and the Youth Corpers, whose actions served Nigerian democracy best?

The Almajiri, uneducated in Western education but schooled in Islamic education, did something no army of internet warriors could dare. There is an internet group dreaming digital dreams of revolution. The Almajiri did not dream. They acted – with their own electoral revolution. They were the only people, it seems, that understood that defending their vote was a do or die battle and that those who impoverish the people by stealing their wealth deserve to die.

I decided to ask some Almajiris why the Youth Corpers were attacked. The answer revealed a political sophistication many Southerners lack. The youth corpers were easily bought. In a Nigeria were criminality is normal, youth idealism is dead. Corpers were caught thumb printing ballots. In the North, it seemed Southern Corpers clearly showed a preference they were willing to rig against Buhari, because of their Southern support Jonathan.

There is an even more dangerous dimension. Southern Youth Corpers are sent to the North without any orientation to explain the history and values of the place. They come with poor images of Northerners as primitive, dirty, cattle rearers, smelly bunch of megads, etc. The condescension is terrible and the Northerners know it. I have always wondered about the corper whose facebook post is now popular. “This CPC people ,  “ it said. In that statement the contempt was clear. SOUTHERN YOUTH CORPERS WERE SERIOUSLY ANTI-CPC. And they did not hide it.

Southern Youth Corpers can be very visible and disliked in the Muslim Far North for their disregard of and misconceptions of Islam. Southern women youth corpers gallivant about, feeling superior, totally ignorant they are causing offence in manners and clothing and seen as easy whores. They openly show disgust at “smelly” Almajiri children. Just reading the posts of Southerners in Facebook reveal this. The ignorance about Islam; about the fact the Almajiri religious training system is teaching young people respect and kindness to the poor through a rigorous experience of begging, but they also learn Islamic political consciousness. The Southerners also lack a knowledge of the history of the North. The North had City States and empires in the Sahel and trade routes with the Arabs as far back as the 14th Century, long before Portuguese Sailors met Southern primitives at the Atlantic Coast.

It is these pent up anger against what many Muslim Far Northerners see as contemptuous youth corpers, the resistance to CPC whilst supporting PDP rigging, the rumours that many accepted quick money, made the Youth Corpers partisan in the territory of the “enemy” but they looked down on the "enemy" and thought he could do nothing being so primitive, uneducated, stupid, moo moo, etc. Yes the Corpers were not all exactly "innocent". Stories spread of the money that some took to betray democracy. It was said that in one State, the Governor gave each N30k to thumbprint – and such incidents soiled the names of the innocent Youth Corpers.


But Southerners just saw the death of Youth Corpers. Nobody saw the death of Almajiris - their mothers, somewhere, are crying too. They were defending our democratic rights. Through the night in Bauchi, they battled with machetes against police with guns. Many died fighting for their hero - “Sai Gaskiya” – the man of truth. They struck at those they believed were the agents of the Ruling PDP who had given them no education, no health, no future. They attacked their Emirs, whom they heard were bribed; the Emirs that oppressed them with false interpretations of Islam. They attacked the PDP stalwarts, their agents and the Youth Corpers that sold out. Then the real Miscreants took over to kill and loot.

I thought about the Almajiri and the Southerners that condemned them. I thought of the day I travelled with a Southerner into a Muslim area and left the car and doors wide open with my computer in the back. The Southerner was shocked. Lock the car she shouted. Look at all those boys, they will steal the computer bag. I smiled and tried to explain to her Southern mind, full of armed robbers and kidnappers, that my computer was as safe as houses. Those dirty boys will protect my bag with their lives.

It seems that Southerners do not really understand Northern concepts of honour and honesty. The Northern Muslim, can kill, yes kill, when his sense of honesty and honour is breached. Arabs have the same sense of blood honour. But what fascinated me most in the choices of the Southerners and the Almajiri, was that given a party of known thieves and two honest men, the Southerners chose the party of thieves whilst the Almajiri were willing to fight and die for two honest men - profound.

It would seem that the Almajiri are no fools. They targeted everything that represented their oppression. They knew that Jonathan was part of that Ruling PDP unlike Southerners who somehow think they voted for Jonathan (a good man) but not PDP (an evil party). What delusion. The Almajiri are far more politically astute. They know we need honesty and truth at the top to save our country – and were prepared to die for it.

As I watched the efforts made during this Governorship polls to be transparent, it occurred to me that the sanity was because of the action of Almajiri rebels. In the tally of the bloody cost of democracy, that was a small price to pay to clean up our democracy.

Nobody planned the Almajiri revolt. They are educated in Islam and know how to use mobile phones. Buhari had no idea. His vehicles were smashed in the mayhem because his convoy did not know of the uprising. Yet our PDP Ruling Oligarchy chose to behave like all autocrats. It was their rigging and bribery that caused the violence, yet they are using the highly compromised media to put the blame on Buhari. But who are to blame? Those that put the Youth Corpers in harm’s way and those who rigged.

I agree that a statue should be erected for Youth Corpers who honestly served democracy? But I also think of the hundreds of Almajiri who died in Jos, Bauchi, Gombe, Kaduna, Kano. And inside me I formed a second statue, in memory of the Almajiri dead, of an Almajiri with a machete held high. And at the base an epitaph:

“I am President Jonathan’s Miscreant
No deadlier than his rascals that rant
My blood has flowered our course
For I am no rebel without a cause
I could be a Northerner. I could be a Southerner. The Truth has no tribe or religion. The Truth is Neutral. The Truth is Deadly. But the Truth shall set us free[size=8pt][/size]

AFTER PDP ANS ITS COHORTS CLINICALLY EXECUTED THE RIGGING OF THE CENTURY, AND TO ADD SALT TO INJURY, PPLE ARE BUSY INSULTING OUR LEADER OVER THE CYBERSPACE.  THE POINT IS, PEOPLE ARE TIRED OF PDP GOVT. NO POWER, NO WATER, NO ROADS, EDUCATION, OR HEALTHCARE.

ANYWAY, PEOPLE GET THE GOVT THEY DESERVE. WE ARE IN FOR ANOTHER 4-YEAR RIDE THE PDP GOVT.

THEIR CHILDREN WILL CONTINUE TO STUDY  ABROAD, WHILE OUR OWN SERIALLY FAIL WAEC/NECO.
THEY WILL CONTINUE TO JET OUT ON THE SLIGHTEST HEADACHE WHILE NIGERIANS WILL BE DYING AVOIDABLE DEATHS IN DILAPIDATED HOSPITALS.
THEY WILL CONTINUE TO ENJOY 24/7 POWER SUPPLY WITH THEIR IMPORTED GENERATORS, WHILE WE WALLOW IN DARKNESS.
ETC ETC ETC

“In the last 12years also all our[color=#990000][/color] children have become WAEC failures, but their children are in the best schools abroad. Now, Nigerian children seek admission in Togo and Benin Republic.”

I am neither PDP nor ACN, but somebody please tell me, WHERE ARE TINUBU'S CHILDREN SCHOOLING?

Good looking girls are on the average more arrogant and haughty than average looking babes, and people tend to reciprocate by being hard on them.

Ditto for men, especially if they have some naira or family background to go with it.

But it all boils down to one's character. You can be the most beautiful girl or most handsome guy, if you handle people like rubbish, they will treat you the same.

Mschewwwwwww.

Why dig it up now (10 yrs after)? Sheer Blackmail.
A big downvote to the mod for pushing it to the front page.

We are waiting for similar scoops on the other candidates (like the dame patience corruption saga) to show up on the front page.

Seun, dont allow this forum become too partisan.
