Some people are trivialization what is @ stake
The great Igbos, already, have pocketed great UNN
They want more things & they deserve more things
Naming NDA after Ojukwu isnt a bad idea
After all he was a military man, the 1st soldier-graduate for that matter
I hope GEJ understands the crux of the matter
If he doesnt Chukwumerije & co should do the "needful".

Its not only on salary that coaches depend
Rich Professionals buoy them up

How are we sure that the Gowons among us will understand Grammar if SNC is convened
The way they reneged on Aburi accord is still v fresh in our memory

@ guonno
Hapi u noted that Aluko talked like a confused man
The most nauseating was when he defended Awo, Awo who assured that west will go if East goes
Why didnt Aluko spin this stupid tissue when Ikemba was alife? Ikemba would have skinned d skunk.
Aluko was a shameless double agent

The dead should be sent to Gowon
He will be happy they died Nigerians

Folks there is no way these middle beltans will not pitch tent with ppl of South East in 2015
NE + NW will slug it out with SE + SS + NC
SS will play beautiful bride, be sure Lagosians will go with SE
The spirit of Ikemba will continue to hunt the core North
Next presido will emerge from SE, its only prediction based on sequence of happenings.

GEJ is humble, sure-footed & focused
Unfortunately some challenges have prevented us from seeing these attributes
We are coming from a deep pit & its simply naive to expect a miracle so soon
If you watch his actions you can see he is laying a solid foundation for future
Most of the things our previous leaders neglected are being tackled now, wt passion
He has created conducive atmosphere for businesses to thrive
Of course thats why he is pulling so many foreign companies, nobody can deny this!
The technocrats he pulled to his administration are doing marvelous work
With time we will all realise his fortitude

God will help us surmount the Boko Haram & other challenges that are distracting us
Lets allow our president a chance, even though he has been doing well, so far, we need time to fully appreciate him
Definitely he means well
Some of the measures we see as harsh, may, after all turn out in our favour
We may not be as armed with facts & figures as he & his economic team are .

Jibril Aminu is already down with Parkinson
He could not get back to the senate where he was called the headmaster
He was there as chairman of senate committee on foreign Affairs yet nothing meaningful was credited to him
He is senile and abandoned
He is seeking to be noticed as nobody recognises him any longer

Now lets ask him some questions:

As a minister of education what efforts did you make to fast forward the education standard of the North?
As an ambassador in USA how many of your people did you show links?
As a petroleum minister enumerate positive inputs you kept in place to uplift the North?
As a senator of the federal republic of Nigeria how did you take care of the North`s interest?

I believe the Boko Haram phenomenon was as a result of his ineptitude. & he is aware, fully.
He is only trying to placate the angry boys by saying what he thinks will please them
Really they shd be after Jibril Aminu & his comrades in mis-rule, for turning their lives upside down
His statement could be wrongly interpreted by the Youths, It will fuel their passion 4 mischief
AS a matter of fact he shd be a candidate of SSS, that can save us from deterioration of events in the North.

@ A-ZeD
Listen 2 yrself, (((((People have discovered that they are fake doctors/hospitals in Nigeria, should we close all the hospitals??

If we cannot be told how they are milking us blue, there is no case)))))

Hope you heard the figure spent on fuel subsidy
& you saw list of those involved in the biz
Well, bro, if you are not following its good you get refreshed, b4 you think of closing hospitals

@ Mrjingles
, Thanks
People continue to perish due to lack of knowledge
Too bad that most of our people have lost positive power of expression

@ Lanre front,
You seem to be missing the point too
Beaf is talking sense in confronting those who cant reason properly
We need to be logical
I gave instance to buttress this , may be you are unable to decipher that
Rushing to attack usually leaves ones backyard vulnerable. Sorry if I sound harsh

After saying that Beaf is well grounded in syllogism I gave my own ideas

(In syllogism you cant get to a right conclusion based on a wrong premise)

If you got that well then you must also imbibe this simple truth,
, we all have freedom to air our views, these views may not be pleasant to all @ all times.
& learn not to insult others whose views you dont agree with.
Try to be more open minded, that way you stand to gain from wealth of experience of others.
If you are interested in really finding facts about people with dual personality then look for Sybil.

No one has rivaled this great man
Even @ death he continues to exhibit greatness
Adieu the beloved one

I salute the doggedness of Beaf
He can be trusted
He fires straight
He just states the facts , the way facts are
His stance doesnt suggest he defends anybody
But dudes with warped argument cast aspersions on him
If u say something is sweet & u cant say exactly why u say so better be quiet

Somebody said he discovered some few people are milking us blue,
, & initiated actions to stop the mess. Yet people are saying he is benefiting from the mess!
What a bundle of contradiction
Under a normal circumstance removal of subsidy, in a field as strategic as petroleum can result in vortex of bad after effects, to the extent that expected gains could be wiped out by hardship resulting from hyper inflation, retrenchment, discontentment. If we allow such to be inflicted on us how are we coming out clean?
People have left the kernel & are pursuing shadow, & Beaf is dealing with them properly. Ride on Bro

GEJ  , In spite of all odds stands out

He stopped endless queues @ fuel stations ( thereby saving us huge losses & embarassing situations)
He created cool atmosphere that allowed people come out in true colours ( this threw-up Boko, Its a plus)
He is tackling the power sector head long, (& we are seeing glimpse of hope, steadily too whn compared)
He is to allow states used their own generated power from 2012( great to brak monopoly of PHCN)
He is establishing boarding schools for Amajiris ( good foundation to cure grave societal ill)
He allowed new minimum wage ( never mind the foot dragging in some states )
Takes difficult decisions head-on( like issue of fuel subsidy, though some people take him on that, wrongly?)
He is re-vitalising many moribund sectors ( take the railways as a good case)
He is tackling abandoned projects, (many of them dot the places, Enugu Airport, Dredging of River Niger etc)
He tackles Boko, (has just jailed one of the spokes persons)
Tackles corruption,,,( courageous enuf to lay hands on Bankole, & just fired Waziri accused of ineptitude
Had the guts to cut allocation to National assembly ( thereby attracting more vibrant counter checks)
He hired a fire brand to man INEC ( we are slowly moving out of the woods)

Most of these are very courageous actions, especially when juxtaposed with our Nigerian bad culture

GEJ qualifies for Hall of Fame

The person behind Sahara Reporters should be 1st in d Hall of Shame
Reason, his stories have consistently been substandard. Even kids find it easy to know he is dishing out worthless things.

OBJ always behaves like a comedian
Bold people like IBB always reminded him of his ineptitude
What can he boast of during his reigns , both as a soldier & as a civilian leader?
What became of his cassava deal with China?
Now that he is out of govt he can talk of ways out tru Agriculture
He should have deepened values in that sector while in power but he bungled
If he had handled privatisation well the Senate would have been spared challenges
He needs to account, fully, for his romance with BPE
, & monies when he combined petroleum ministry with that of commander in chief.

@ Godman
Thanks for being frank
The essence of being in business is to garner profit
NGOs and others like them are exceptions
As long as stake holders lost their money I bet they are not ready for stories
I think Sanusi had options but it seems he was also on vendetta mission
The quantum of money sunk to allow Sanusi has his way wasnt v necessary
I believe Soludo must have weighed the after effects & let go
There was no need to use hammer to break eggs in order to make omelet
I may be naive but most business men are

Sylva should just lick his wound
Politicking allows mudslinging
He gambled & spent huge money in trying to scuttle GEJs ascension to office
Now is the pay back time, let him reap fruits from his farm
Anything he publishes now will be countered as rantings of a drowning man
&, unfortunately, will count against him, as long as EFCC is in place
Soon, very soon he will become an ex-governor. & the Immunity will be lifted

Ghosts are supposed to be objectionable
But if we must liken Ikemba to a ghost permit me to say he is a friendly ghost

He was like an angel to the Igbo race
The only slur I ever found on him was formation of Ikemba Front
Situation, then, I believe can exonerate him-he was gunning 4 the senate & rigging was starring him in d face

In spite of all, he is close to what Shakespeare said about Julius Caesar:::::
All the elements are so well mixed in him
& I am happy the world saw all these, and are giving back to him
If Gowon had measured up to expectations as then head of state Aburi talks could have helped us
B4 long he wl pay us the huge debt-thats Gowon, by apologising for failing on agreements reached @ Aburi

We are waiting to hear that the fellow who dished out the ruse on okada has been sent packing
We wont like to hear that a committee has been set up to find out the circumstances surrounding it
We wont even like the police to be on top of the situation

, otherwise we will be tempted to believe that they flew a kite

The more you look the less you see
Hope they wont put the job of the poor police officers on jeopardy

Definitely something is fishyyyyyyyyyyy

@ Werepeleri, Thanks for the illumination you provided on ministers clarification
We dont need double quick match from any quarter now
Our people have suffered enough, only measures to ameliorate the situation shd be encouraged

@ Soloqy, Why cant you be firm
Why are you afraid of quoting your source
Its not enuf to just say TVs carried it
Stand firm & say so so person denied romour being peddled regarding bikes
We all know who are the government spokes persons

For your information Abati has since taken over fro Emma Niboro
We have Labaran Maku, Anyim is also there
Who of these people came on air to reverse what you are claiming

Look @ the topic once more. Now respond if you have a positive input
Otherwise stop compounding issues
The thing under contention here is quite clear. We shd not be sentimental
My 1st balanced post on this issue is there. I am not a party man.

@Soloqy, Seems you have problem with interpreting what 4 stroke engine means
Why not use your google b4 you run into big problem
If you believe the govt has denied that then say the source, provide the link
Otherwise nobody will believe you . & dont just post something you cant substantiate

@milehigh06, If you are a school head
& your students entered for WAEC, NECO, GCE & NABTEB
& they failed all these exams woefully

wont you have doubts & draw some conclusions
Like: the students are untrainable, the teachers need further training  ?
If your teachers are well motivated wont you continue to find the real cause of YOUR failure?
Going further will you recommend sack of your teachers, one after the other?

Now apply it,
Siasia , gooooooooooo
Eucharia Uche, goooooooooooooo
Eguavon, gooooooooooooooo
Keshi, get ready to goooooooooooooo

@ casket, Yea But plan B isnt exclusive right of a select group
As you are strategising others are, can you contest that too?

People shd desist from deceiving others
The government never gave a rejoinder
So the govts stand has not changed

Truly Eguavon is not to blame for our lack luster performance
The true story is that most of the plays he banked on were not released by their clubs
This scenario played out so because FIFA didnt recognise the tournament
So those clubs could not be forced to release the players

Also we must remember that football is a game of 22 players
The size of a country hardly counts
We can only make condition in our local clubs juicy to make our boys stay home
Instead of seeking greener pastures elsewhere
If our good boys are home based we wont face such hurdles like refusal to release players

Game over
Nigeria  & Algeria are out

Morocco & Senegal qualify for nxt round

The only consolation is we hv clinched 3rd position in our group.

4 : 1

Nigeria 3 : 1 Algeria.

Nigeria 2 : 1 Algeria
75 minutes gone

Morocco 0 : 1 Senegal

Even if we score more goals we are out as long as Senegal beats Morocco

This is authentic , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_CAF_U-23_Championship

Nigeria 1 : 1 Algeria

Morocco 0 : 1 Senegal

In Progress

@ Seun, Hope you knew what you posted, look @ it again((((((If we had good alternatives, there would have been no need to ban them.)))))Sounds unlike you!
