Let them publicize what they like, its their headache.

My grouse is with our corrupt and vision-less leaders.

interesting

A Briton once asked me if many Africans still walk about unclothed, and if I will bring him to Africa to take their pictures 

OMG!!! this man just don't get it.

^^^ same here. I was expecting his argument to develop into IBB being the best leader for now, but. . .


@Gbawe and PapaBrowne

I like you analysis; in depth, unbiased, frank, truthful and insult free


Overall am positive that jettison zoning now, will be for the good of Nigeria. Let each region that wants to win an election play their best card(candidate) capable of winning election on merit

At the end Nigeria will be better for it. The support for Ribadu I see here shows that the southerners have no problem supporting the North in as much the candidate is credible enough for them.

Wahala dey. So na octopus some peep they bet them life on now. . . oga o.

It is different with fixed deposit statements. Usually the statements always carry the maturity date for the fund.

If the maturity date is before the application date, the embassy will expect a letter from the bank stating that the fund has been rolled over.

hope the fixed deposit tenure in the statement has not expired already?

and you have to pray/hope, that the embassy doesn't call the bank to find out the current state.

Your dad shouldn't have done anything to the fixed deposit till you finish your application process.

Gbawe,


My experience with the Nigerians I have met has been very positive. They are very hardworking just like everybody else I know in the other African nations. They are family men, women, sons, daughter, professionals, laborers, religious, pagan etc.

The abasement of one people over the other is a fundamental reason why our people(Africans) fail to focus on what is at stake. This is not a question of inferiority complex. It is a question of shifting the blame of our problems to other people.


It is now over 60 years since independence, yet you will hear scholars, religious leaders, laymen, people of all works of life defend their incompetence by SHIFTING THE BLAME OF WHAT IS WRONG WITH AFRICA TO THE COLONIAL REGIMES. When does the African become responsible to his/her own country problems.

Could it be the case that since Independence we have suffered brain drain and we need to have our governments pay better wages to our educated this way we may retain the talent we are missing? Can it be possible that the corruption in our own nations have made it less appealling for our educated lot and we must fix this back door window?

Why are we not able to tackle this corruption? I am here to learn from the collective wisdom, not to instruct, though instruction may equally happen, but to gather the facts and hopefully redirect the wasted energy on mistaken targets.

Now, how does the above post relates to/justifies your opening post and the subject of this thread of yours?

iice:
[color=#9900ff]I can imagine. Which reminds me. . .Roots was pretty sad.
Some scenes in brokeback. . .all of which had the awesome (rest his soul) Heath Ledger in them.


Am i the only one who didn't cry watching Passion of Christ? [/color]

Certainly you are not the only one, I didn't even come close to it. I mean, the film is not far from the story i knew since I was a kid. I hope I dont need deliverance sha

i reserve my comment till it is made official and confirmed.

I thought it was N10B before, so it was actually N16.4B

This is enough tool for a credible opposition to finish him during the next election.

Gosh!!! 1 day event that adds not much value to us, or to the common man on the street, for N9.5 Billions?

What 'Owambe party' is this man throwing? Is he crazy?

Dr Kitaun:
Spikey

the nitwit Justwank not knowing who I was accused me of being a scammer cos I told him not all agents can express themselves well hence they may sound unreal, I advised him on over-generalization, he opened a campaign of calumny on my person, but as God would have it, not 2 long after he had his fingers burnt accusing an innocentee . . .

If u c am, tell am say I JU$T BEGIN WITH AM . . .son of a ~ !

Sorry if you are wrongly labelled a scammer.

Justwise is doing a good job in travel section. Marginal error is allowed when dealing with these numerous scammers. luckily they have reduced now, many thanks to Justwise.

If your post looks fishy or sounds too good to be true, we raise the red flag, It is better to be save than to be sorry. 

Still considering and looking out for more options.

Kobojunkie:
Did you see me bolt on the word "CREDIBLE" to that anywhere? ROFLMAO!!!
The way I see it, an UNKNOWN thief is better than the pack we have today. I am more for CHANGING THE STATUS QUO, which happens to be shuffling around/recycling the same old confirmed problems.
More like let us give NEW thieves people a chance. That is what I fear is already in motion.

ROFLMAO!

Kobojunkie:
sure Well, I still would ask you what makes a Nuhu Ribadu/El Rufai ticket CREDIBLE. lol

Just trying to point out that the North has other potential candidates besides IBB and Atiku.

Kobojunkie:
What would make an unknown brilliant Harvard scholar presented by AC/ANPP a CREDIBLE choice?

didnt say they will be credible choice yet, but they will add to present known options.

BTW, I though you are a supporter the relatively UNKNOWN/NEW/FRESH Candidates?

Kobojunkie:
Anywho, my point is we should not let this fool us into thinking THE WIND OF CHANGE IS HERE . . . I remember @Aisha runing a thread last election when Yar adua/Goodluck were elected that the WIND OF CHANGE was finally here. This sort of announcement ought to be expected by now. PUBLICLY DENYING ZONING is EXPECTED considering the current division between people in the south and those in the north over this issue. Does this mean only the best candidates from each party will be presented the poeple at the end of each primary? Does this mean selections within each party will be made on merit and not on ethnicity or region? Right now the PDP has a popular candidate in Jonathan, if he is presented us in the end, would it be because he is really the best candidate or just the ace they have to play now to remain in power?

Time will tell my friend. . . Time will tell. I just hope we will not keep repeating the same mistakes over and over, cos some of us have no desire to change our nationalities.

Kobojunkie:
Well, opinions are ok but it is NO REASON TO CONTINUE AVOIDING THE MAIN FACTS OF THE SITUATION. Zoning existed and has been confirmed over and over.  Last election, we had no problem understanding that. What changed since then?
Well, about credible candidates, when I said south, I meant PDP South, Donald duke is running and I believe if Jonathan decides to run, which one of them will you consider CREDIBLE in this case? The PDP North is probably not going to offer you any other but the IBB pack and some other lame names, how CREDIBLE will you consider those?
AC has yet to endorse any particular candidate but I am not certain which of the rumored packs have proven records we can consider CREDIBLE at the end of the day. Yeah, sure you will get to choose your CREDIBLE candidate but it pays to understand what exactly is going on so you are not HOODWINKED into believing what is NOT, come next election.

Wait until the authentic list comes out.

Now, Jonathan has not said he is contesting, Donald Duke is no longer in PDP, you dont know if Nuru Ribadu/El Rufai will come out. You also dont know if there is an unknown brilliant Harvard scholar AC/ANPP will present at the last minute. When the finalist comes out, I will chose my 'Most credible' of the pack.

Fhemmmy:
When is the timetable gonna be released?

I dunno, but I think it is the right answer to seek NOW.

RSA:
What is the argument here? the whole world knows how corrupt Nigeria is.The only people who don't know are Nigerians,because they're all corrupt there fore cannot even see when they are doing wrong things.

The question is why is 'the whole world' more troubled/disturbed about Nigeria corruption than the Nigerians?

I guess this is the answer you want

Gbawe:
Very true. I see despoil, pillage, looting , mass murder and multiple muggings on the streets of Lagos everyday 24/7. In fact this morning I witnessed how hundreds were made to alight from public transport only to be shot execution style !!!! The Police even joined the murderers in using Lagosians as target practice !!!

Now that you have got the confirmation you wanted you can sleep well tonight in the knowledge that however bad Kenyans have it , Nigerians have it worse.

Now that you and 'the whole world' have an answer; Can you now leave Nigeria/Nigerians alone to solve their big corruption problems while you nurse your little problems?

Kobojunkie:
Well, this has NEVER been about getting you a credible candidate. For one, even the south has none to offer you.

You are entitle to your opinions, doubt we'll ever be able to come to terms with our divergent views.

On your quote above - For me a credible candidate under free and fair election is all that matters.

On whether the South has any to offer me, I will find out when am ready to make my choice.

And I don't care if no credible candidate comes from the south or where he comes from, all I want is A CREDIBLE CANDIDATE.

Ujujoan:
Oh trust me, I've been there, done that! Once bitten . . .

I understand. Guess he is among the few wrong ones, but there are wrong ones across all tribes

And what makes them wrong is not their tribes. . . You only need to look for the good one irrespective of the tribe.

No harm trying again, who knows. . . you might be lucky the 2nd time.

Kobojunkie:
Do I have to BELIEVE in zoning to discuss zoning?

Well your arguments tends to show you believe in it, Sorry I dont. (explains my question)

Kobojunkie:
In the PDP Party, Zoning was put in place or agreed upon in the interest of the south.

And who is making so much fuss about it now? The South? or The North?

Kobojunkie:
I have no info on any such being true. I doubt it was the case either . . . under zoning, the North gets a period and then it continues back to another group. We need to STOP demonizing the North in most everything, as it seems to be clouding our judgement and causing us to make the same mistakes over and over.

I am not tribalistic and I have nothing against the North in general, I believe they (and the south) do not need zoning to win an election.
All they need is a credible candidate and to ensure the election is free and fair. Give me a credible candidate from the North and you will see me campaigning against my vision-less candidates from the South
If we keep supporting zoning, we will never get the best from our political system

Kobojunkie:
Obasanjo benefitted from the agreement actually, he was installed as the first because the south played the Injustice done to MKO card to have a southerner installed first.
http://allafrica.com/stories/201007050285.html

Which one came 1st, MKO injustice or the agreement? which one was more potent in 1999, the injustice or the agreement?
All the parties knew then that only a southern (preferably from west) presidency will guarantee peace and stability of the country as at of then.

Ujujoan:
Tufiakwa!

hahahaha lol

if you are so sure of yourself, leave your address/contact, i will send one of my brothers to you who will make you an offer you can NEVER refuse.

Every year you will be popping out a child giving them Yoruba names and you will not even remember you are Igbo.

And I hope you are VERY beautiful and can beat the Yoruba girls in the game, cos my rich brothers dont like ugly & dull girls

Kobojunkie:
AC has also PUBLICLY announced that there will be no zoning . . . woohoo!!! These people really take us for fools in that country . . . lol

WHY? do you believe in zoning?

I have always argued that zoning was not put in place or agreed upon in the interest of the South
The North demanded for the agreement to ensure that power returns to them after Obj
And Obj did not benefited from the agreement, but from the injustice done to MKO, who won without any zoning agreement.

Kobojunkie:
She was 68.

She did look good for her age, thought she was in her late fifties.

Abagworo:
to be fair with orji,we are all aware that ogbulafor's emergence was a major contributor to his pdp exit.he could claim that change in leadership of the party brought him back.

Sorry, when did Ogbulafor emerged as PDP chairman and when did Kalu leave PDP?

hey, how old was she?

RIP

If you read Kalu' story from Sun, then it's true. Kalu owns Sun.

The guy has become a political orphan, he knows his party PPA is dead.

He only want to return to PDP to remain relevant in 2011

All of them should be in jail.

Na naija now, the case will soon disappear, he just need to bribe the police more. orisirisi!

^^^^ lol

I wont join in that debate, we all know the truth. i have even heard someone said until the child is born and given a name, he/she is not yet a child - to me, very ridiculous!

Ellyptical:
[size=14pt]Why will the Yoruba man always lick the backside of the hausa man and sell himself out so easily?
O! Yorubas! As gullible as the British weather! The weakest link in the south! Always the reason why the south cannot team up against the north cos @ the last minute they will always turn around and sing the praises of the hausa overlords![/size]

So Adedibu's wife and some few Yoruba men who supported IBB have spoken for the whole Yoruba? abi?

And when, where and how many times have the Yoruba men licked the backside of Hausa men?

hahahahaha 

I love Nigeria politics  Different  Unique  Homemade  (Where is Kosovo? need to borrow some vocabularies from him )

Anyway let the 2011 drama begin - I laugh in Kuwait
