Where in God's name is our C-in-C?

Do you foresee a possible revolution soon?

Alhaji Maitama Sule said that there would be a revolution in Nigeria. There will be no revolution in Nigeria. We have been saying for over 15 years that Nigeria is sitting on a time bomb; it is a lie. We are very accommodating. You can only have a revolution when people have decided and determined to fight for a cause under any situation. Nigeria has not got that stamina. The Orange revolution in Europe and similar cases in Latin America are possible because the revolutionaries are determined. Look at what happened in Georgia. Nigeria does not have the stamina. A colleague of mine once said that people dance and sing so much, but they cannot revolt. They love pleasure too much. People that enjoy so much pleasure cannot be revolutionaries. Nigeria will not drive revolution. The future of this country is bleak. Nigeria is patch-patch and will collapse like this one day.

@Funsosweet, why did you answer the question that was intended for Hanovia?

komekn:
Realistically it is possible, in fact if you want to cut out the tourism and site seeing it can be done in 7 days.

Dover to Gibraltar 1400 miles approximately 1.5 days easy going at 70mph, cross ferry to Tangier, Morocco, as you can guess tarred road all the way, and you can easily with a bit of caution hit beyond the 80mph to save time.

From Tangier, Morocco all the way to Nouakchott, Mauritania 1300 miles, 85% tarred road, passing the cities of Rabat, Casablanca, Dakhla, in Morocco and crossing the 3 mile no mans land into Mauritania and the cities of Nouadhibou and finally arriving at Nouakchott. You don’t have to rough it there are Decent and cheap hotels all the way so approx 2.5 days of driving its up to you. (http://www.hansrossel.com/travel-information/morocco/dakhla.htm )


From Nouakchott to Bamako is 650 miles, you have 3 days left, you are now right in West Africa, options are all your own Accra, Ghana is 700 miles away , OK for night driving and almost 24 hr electricity and armed robbery is rare, Lagos is about 900 miles.

Ages ago I did raise a thread London to Lagos by road to gauge interest most of the contributions were in the negative, in fact it seemed there were more women with liver and interested, however, I have not completely shelved the idea.

EmperorOlu:
I joined this forum to be able to communicate with intelligent Nigerians who want to liberate Nigeria from the mess it is in right now but I am very much ashamed to call myself a Nigerian after the comments that I have read here.

I live in Johannesburg-South Africa and almost everyday South Africans tell me to my face that Nigerians are the most silly people in the world and today I must say I agree with them.

I find it hard to comprehend that you so called patriotic Nigerians are sympathizing with the Babangida family, this woman is the same person that siphoned billions of Naira from state funds all in the name of women's poverty alleviation programs which instead of alleviating poverty just caused more chaos. If she had done this in china ,she and her husband would have been shot.

No you people are really retarded and some of you say you are living abroad and you care what happens to this dead thief. She got the best medical care in the USA with the money she and her family stole when they were in power. Those of you who are sympathizing with the Babangida family need your brain to be re-examined ,it is because of people like you that Nigeria is in a state of a failed state.

We always want to claim that we are more intelligent than everybody but we can not choose the right leaders to govern us and we applaud criminals who have ruined our lives.A country of intelligent people that cannot generate their electricity or preserve and develop their landscape to world class standards. I wonder if there is any intelligent Nigerian in this forum who will understand where I am coming from.It is because of the devastation that the Babangida regime caused the Nigerian economy that many of us today ran away from Nigeria to go and  live a better life in places like South Africa. As for me I wish maryam burns in hell for the deaths and poverty she and her husband has caused Nigerians.

Those of you share my sentiment should please visit the thread i will starting tomorrow titled : Saving Nigeria.

Kobojunkie:
Now the above brings to mind pictures of Muslims only a couple of years ago crying that they were being discriminated against by America.  He was placed on a watch list, right? And he passed through two airports on his way to the US, right? If the authorities at both airports were unable to detect the bomb, which we discovered was strapped to his thigh, I mean it was not like the guy hid it in his cavity or something( it was right there in front of the authorities) does that not cause you to WONDER why it was not detected at BOTH ports? You don’t need a flag to detect such on a drug dealer at the same airports, do you?

Kobojunkie:
More questions for you

Do we now assume that everytime any person or particularly MUSLIM speaks of sacrificing self, we should automatically assume TERRORIST or Suicide Bomber then? Is that safe to conclude?

Kobojunkie:
You are NOT answering the question but just putting forth the same VAGUE info are reason for assertions you have made so far.  

We have been told there was no solid info to support his being on a No-fly list. That his father reported him missing is NO SOLID evidence to have him on a NO FLY List so why demand he should have been doubly checked just for that in the way you have so far?

Kobojunkie:
Just so I get this, at what point did he come in contact with US Security? In Nigeria? In Amsterdam? When the authorities in Amsterdam sent his name off to the US for clearance? Or on the plane to the US, right before he landed in the US?

I get it that the father alerted the US authorities about 2 months ago but the boy was, I believe on the watch list back in the UK before then and so on the American radar long before the report came in from the father, and I am not sure if his being on the watch list in the UK had much to do with terrorism.

By the way, why didn’t Holland have him on a watch list? Or is Holland not supposed to have a watch list as well? I mean is Holland just a port for dispatching folks without need to check before even letting these folks into their own ports?

[size=13pt]Al Qaeda claims responsibility for failed terror attack[/size]

[Authorities have focused their investigation on how AbdulMutallab, 23, allegedly smuggled the explosives aboard the flight and who might have helped him.
"We're ascertaining why it was that he was not flagged in a more specific way when he purchased his ticket, given the information that we think was available, allegedly was available," Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano told CNN's "American Morning" Monday.

AbdulMutallab, a Nigerian who had a multiple-entry visa to the United States, had been added to a watch list of 550,000 potential terrorist threats after the information provided by his father was forwarded to the National Counter-Terrorism Center, a senior administration official said. But "the info on him was not deemed specific enough to pull his visa or put him on a no-fly list," the official said.

Kobojunkie:
You still have not answered the question. How do you know he was not THOROUGHLY SCANNED?

How do you know this explosive was on him when he was SCANNED or Thoroughly SCANNED?  


This actually makes this even better. Now, following what you have above, Answer the questions please.

If, according to you, they can detect drugs even on those that swallowed them, and are NOT on a watch list, why were they unable to detect this thing strapped on this man? I mean consider that the druggies don’t even need to be on a watch list to be checked or even double checked.

Kobojunkie:
How do you know he was not double checked, or even picked out and checked again in Amsterdam? Normally, when I go through check at the airport, my whole body is scanned for anything out of the ordinary. What more checks did you want in this "DOUBLE CHECK" you keep asking for?  If he was scanned and padded down like I expect every single person who goes through airport authorities was, and no bomb or anything out of the ordinary were detected, what extra DOUBLE check would have exposed this bomb?  How do you know he did not get the bomb AFTER passing through check station in amsterdam?

violent:
The dude is on American watch list
He is on British watch list
His father has reported him to the American embassy
and he still manage to get a bomb on a plane!

Why have him on a watch list if you are not going to watch him?, sounds like someone is being a clown

Kobojunkie:
Ok!! But this incident happened even before touching ground in the US. So, the double checking should have taken place in Amsterdam, right? Or do we expect flight attendants to do that too?

Ok!!!  Sending his name to the US for security clearance still would not have put him on a no-fly list automatically. I mean the guy had the bomb strapped around his legs for pete’s sake.


Not saying blame ought not to be shared as it should but terror detection can never be 100% especially in a case like this.  There will be cases were persons Not even on any watch list would try to blow up planes. It happened with the shoe bomber.
