Guy she bleach....if you don't know her before do a research and stop saying what you don't know

Even if she did (i don't know her), but these 2 pictures posted here cannot be used as evidence to show that she's bleaching; the pics just have different lighting and cant be used as basis for comparison.

samplegirl:
The likes of berem, Ibnsultan and egift, I think it will be better if you change the way you reason. Constructive opposition is not achieved by kicking against whatever the other man does, no far from it.

It greives my heart to read you lot's comment on any issue concerning this government. Is it not rather an indictment that anytime this government is mentioned, people have known where you folk will pitch your tent? So nothing good has ever come from this government?

Now let me educate you a little, if this government is as bad as you people want the world to believe, over ten thousand Nigerians would have died from EBOLA considering our population and our way of life. But against all odds this government lived up to and even above expectations to the point that Americans are seeking counsel from Nigeria, the first of it's kind. Ebola did not sart from any of the states with small population but the state with the highest number of people and it was contained and you lot were blindfoled by your unfounded hatred that you did not see it.

But I know Jonathan mistakes, unlike Abacha he did not employ the services of people like Uche Chukwumerije or unlike Obasanjo he did not look for the likes of Ojo Maduekwe who will be busy highlighting unseen government's achievments before the cameras of tv houses.

But I have problem with you people. Your unknown identity. It will interest me if you people will unmask yourselves by telling us who you are and what you have achieved as individuals. This will put us on a better pedestal to weigh your value but untill then you folk are nuissance to the progressive youths of this country

It is disheartening that some individuals can't still see anything wrong with the present maladministration... Here we are again, citing the containment of ebola as an achievement of this government?... Can you kindly tell me what this administration from Abuja did specially to deserve outstanding praise for the containment of ebola?... I understand that for any national achievement within this period, the president should take the glory but it is sickening that we keep touting ebola containment as an achievement as if even an Abacha administration wouldn't have still done the same.

backtosender:
They have short memories both the party aspirant and the followers.No single project from APC party flag bearer or apology and compensation to families that lost both life's and properties during election from satan pikins dem.As OmO igbo, who ever vote for APC from alaigbo may the spirit of those innocent youth coppers torment them and their families..

"No single project from APC party flag bearer"

Are you serious about this your statement?.... You expect the APC candidate who does not occupy any government position to come and execute projects for you?.... You are about to re-elect the PDP led government which has been in power for 15 years but have done nothing for you.... your reason being that the APC candidates who lost elections and are not in the nation's leadership have not executed any projects?... Are you okay?....

May your children adopt your smart reasoning which you have displayed above and may your life and family be governed just the way GEJ/PDP is governing Nigeria presently

ovadoze:
God will no let APC control the centre in this nation. We have had previous govts, can you exactly tell me what they ve done for Ala Igbo? The Buhari that you guys are desperately trying to sell to us as a messiah, tell me one project he sited in Igbo land during his tenure? it pains me to see Igbos support APC, what is the plan of APC for the Igbo man? (am saying Igbos because the topic is on Igbos, though the entire country is bigger than an ethnic group), give me solid reasons to support APC.
Same APC that deported Igbos in their own country?
I have a cousin doing business in the North, his shop and house were burnt down after the last presidential election, why was the shop burnt down? Because your messiah Buhari said their will be bloodshed if he loses election, still you want me to vote for a tribal and religious bigot that called for the total implementation of sharia in a secular and multi-religious country.

Continue deceiving yourself like the rest of the Nigerians from the SE. You scream that APC is your problem as if most if not all the members of APC weren't part of PDP before and probably will still return to PDP later. Name all the APC bigwigs and check their political history. Also when the so called APC evil men decide to cross over to PDP, they are warmly welcome and in your delusion, they suddenly become saints (including shady characters like Alli Sheriff).

Now you say no government has done anything for ala Igbo, inclusive of a Buhari who ruled for 20 months. The question I ask of you is, if no government has done anything for ala Igbo, what then is your support for PDP which has ruled for the past 15 years based on?... Which major project has the PDP done for ala Igbo to make them deserve you praise, admiration and support?... Or is it the monumental looting of our collective wealth and institutionalisation of corruption which obviously is the core agenda of the present government?

You claim Buhari is a tribal bigot who wants to impress sharia on the entire Nigeria and I ask you, how is that even possible?... He wants to convert Nigerians by force to Islam but he didn't think about it or do it when he was a military dictator with absolute powers, but instead you now believe he wants to and would be able to do it as a civilian head of state in a democracy?... Continue deceiving yourself!

As far as I'm concerned, the PDP has done a good job at poisoning the mind of southerners against Buhari. The only reason they (PDP & even APC elite) detest him is because his leadership would halt the 'business as usual' hence they have employed every tactics in the book to fight him. Fortunately for them, Nigerians are naturally religious bigots so the only tactic that has worked so far is the 'religious card.'

daveP:
get what im saying now! but totally unblemish? I agree not with thee!

u need to visit enugu.

Topics like this should be put on the frontpage to drag the attention of the PDP leadership to fix this road instantly for the sake of 2015 campaign...

If there is enough awareness on the state of this road and also the Aba-Ikot ekpene road, it would force the present administration to do something about it before 2015.

As for the irrational support of Igbos for the present administration, I believe it is due to a hatred for the domineering attitude of the north and not necessarily due to any special achievements.

darlingtonNYIG:
other pics. Pls don't mind my camera resolution

lol... Images look like they were taken with a nokia 3310

achi4u:
Guy u are also mad+madness = colomental.
Read the eidiot first post and put urself in Ebonyi shoe and see whether it pinches.
So,if u from Ebonyi state and one efulefu from another jungle want to ridicule ur state u will call dat an open discussion abi.
Nna ga gba ara there....get lost

lol... I know I shouldn't have used the word mental disorder but my point is that in Nigeria we like to make a mountain out of a mole hill. We like to read between the lines even when there's nothing written at all.

I personally do not see how the Op's post is demeaning to people of Ebonyi. It is no news that Nigeria is in a mess with successive generations of bad leadership. Whoever the poster is, he has just expressed his despair at the lack of required development in his state which in my opinion is also a despair felt in every state of the federation.

I travel to Aba and complain of the bad roads and I would be attacked by defensive Abians who ask me if I dont also have bad roads in Imo state . In Nigeria we exhibit a kind of self defence which in my opinion is silly.

daveP:
are pepper sellers that smooth.no sweat. well some are pretty

What's the meaning of this question?... are they not humans too?

Anyway u need to visit a town like enugu and experience the unexplainable anomaly where even pepper, tomato and crayfish hawkers have impeccably unblemished skin

achi4u:
Ewu! you registered 15mins ago just to bring the name of Ebonyi state to the gutter but let me put it straight to you that :
*Any day u step that ur flirting feet in Ebonyi soil,erosion that have never been recorded in Ebonyi land will greet u and all you stand for--what I mean is that Ebonyi state will abhor you both in life and in death.
*Anything from Ebonyi that goes to ur mouth will became a poisonous substance ...what next? you are a death bat.
*A child that says her mother will not sleep will never see sleep with his two korokoro eyes, it means that as you created this moniker in few minutes ago just to malign Ebonyi name so will you remain stagnant like a useless pond.

Nigerians and paranoia!

Someone opened a thread to drag the attention of Nigerians to his home state which he feels lacks development and the only thing some people of the state think is that he is an outsider trying to ridicule the state... Achi4u, I hope you know paranoia is a mental disorder?... What you have simply exhibited with this your response is a clear case of paranoia.

How is this thread insulting to Ebonyi indigenes?
Is the Op lying about what he has stated?

onuebonyi:
sgf is from ebonyi but even at that my state is still not being heard either good or bad news. if nobody talk about you then you are dead. is ebonyi dead?

SGF?... You mean the sleeping obese man?

To be honest, the write-up did not do justice to its title; in fact, the write-up further promoted the distrust, disunity and bad-blood between the SW and SE. I would have expected the author to come up with balanced points which would make the SW and SE drop their hatchets and appreciate the reason why they need work together if Nigeria must move forward.

I am sorry to say this but the North is visibly the region which has stagnated Nigeria's progress over the decades. Unfortunately, as long as the SW and SE continue to be disunited, the north would continue to dominate and drag Nigeria backwards. There is nothing wrong in a healthy competition between 2 zones however what we have between the SW and SE is just pure foolishness. I really do not understand why these zones cannot drop their idiocy for once and see the clear writing on the wall that the north is the real opponent which they need to fight in unity.

The toxic 'federal character' policy which has been a major ingredient of Nigerian backwardness, if only the SW and SE could work together, that silly policy should have been expunged a long time ago. Also, true federalism if implemented would actually restore the diligence and ingenuity of Nigeria and Nigerians. But the last time I checked from the last national conference, it's only the north that is sitting on the realisation of this target and as long as the SW and SE continue to foolishly fight themselves for no clear reason, their real enemies (the north) would continue to have the upper hand and drag the entire nation backwards.

noblezone:
Federal Character, is the peculiar character of a peculiar country, where vacancies are filled not on merit, but rather on the tribe of the candidate.

For example, if you have a professional who knows his clout and a fellow who knows next to nothing about the job, federal character specifies that this other fellow who does not know anything about the job should fill the position in other to balance the federal character.

It is similar to "catchment area".

Catchment Area is an area when one who scores 150 in the national common entrance can have an admision into the a federal governement college, but another candidate from a non catchment area who scores 400 would be denied.


Ladies and Gentlemen, Nigeria is sick!!

Whenever I remember we still have such a toxic policy in practice, I just feel sick

Nice song and video...

What is this one talking about?...
What you have just written,
1. Is that a typo?
2. Is it sarcasm?
3. Are you just trying too hard to sound silly?

Please tell me it's either 1 or 2

pendy79:
No state is made up 100% by its indigenes. APC will surely get chunks of votes in the SE and even in Bayelsa state and Jonathan too will get chunks of votes in Borno and Kano.

Yeah but the chunks you need to win an election is a bit more than the random chunks you are referring to here.

ISpiksDaTroof:
This analysis makes sense,but this election is not about just who the Ibos want, Sorry. It is not about pacifying the South East because of their perceived annoyance at Northerners and Muslims. If Fashola is put forward they will still look for a reason to denounce him. This election is about snatching Nigeria back from the jaws of death which corruption has gripped it. Fashola will make a good President but can he get the votes? Will he be his own man or will he remain a puppet in the hands of certain strong men in the South West? I believe Buhari setting a four year precedence of law, order and accountability will lay down the foundation for the likes of Fashola, Okorocha, Amaechi, Saraki and Co to carry on in the future. Buhari can look any man in Nigeria in the eyes and carry out his duties without fear; Fashola, Okorocha, Amaechi, Saraki and Co still have men in that country in whose eyes they can't look. In. They will cower and lower their gaze when in their presence. Did you see the recent picture of Buhari and Atiku?

Exactly!

The people that have put Nigeria in a choke hold need to be weakened severely for Nigeria to grow. Those men are too young and inexperienced to even think of attempting talk less carry it out. Be realistic and forget all sentiments.

I agree with you, we strongly need a Buhari like personality to restore some order and sanity into the corruption ridden system before we start thinking of presidents with 'ideas.' My point is that, you cannot win an election by totally ignoring an entire zone; in fact not just a zone but the entire SS & SE (2 zones). In my opinion, a Fashola candidacy would gather 10 times more votes from these zones than a Buhari.

As much as I understand the dire need to firstly sanitize the system by a Buhari, I also think the first step to achieving this feat is to unseat the incumbent Jonathan. In my opinion, I dont think a Buhari candidacy can pull that off given the ethno, tribal and religious polarisation existing in Nigeria today.

pendy79:
My brother, if the APC field Okorocha next year be rest assured he will only win in Imo State out of the whole South East and it is not because he is not Igbo but because an average igbo man sees an average northerner as an enemy and Islamist and the APC represents that to them. So the APC is not bothered about the two blocs per se outside Imo state and Rivers/Edo state.

.....

We can't continue along these path of national destruct the PDP represents since 1999. fashola or whosoever not even Alex Ekwueme can defeat Jonathan in some South East states so why bother?. The good thing is the vote strength of just Lagos, oyo, kano and Kastina will equal all the total votes cast in the entire SE and SS. Let them continue in their delusion.

No sane nigerian will wish the country to continue the path PDP has led it in the last 15 years

APC cannot win a national election if they are not bothered about votes from these regions; now we aren't talking about 100% of the votes but just a little chunk of it.

ISpiksDaTroof:
Hard as it might be to believe, the rest of the country combined has more votes than those two blocs. So why don't you really want a Northerner again?

Yeah but remember, the SE and SS has the highest cluster of Jonathanians... Anyone hoping to unseat Jonathan has to think of dividing these camps. I don't understand your question about 'wanting northerners', but my point is that a lot of Nigerian minds have already been poisoned about a Buhari candidacy and hence, he may not be a sellable candidate at this point to unseat Jonathan. He would have been the a good president for Nigeria at this time no doubt, but the focus for now should first of all be to defeat GEJ which is something I dont think Buhari can do.

pendy79:
Fashola truly would have been a great bet at the presidency but we need to understand the multiethnic and tribal diversification that makes up the entity called Nigeria.

1999 was purely a yoruba presidential race between obasanjo and olu falae based on the injustice done to MKO Abiola in 1993. It was a general consensus to give it to the yorubas then.

Now if the APC should field another Yoruba man eight years after the generosity of other ethnic groups to deny people of their tribe from expressing their fundamental right on the alter of sacrifice and national unity, then it will be unfair and an injustice and selfishness on the part of the yoruba race. So common sense and national consideration doesn't favor fashola for now since the yorubas benefited from a special waiver in 1999.

Nigeria belong to all of us. No part of it should monopolize power perpetually. Let it go round.

What you have said is true and the PDP would definitely capitalize on the ethnic/tribal card to fight a Fashola candidacy.

But lets examine it this way, imagine Nigerians are presented with a GEJ vs Fashola choice?..

If this scenerio arises, first of all, I can bet my last buck the entire southwest and Lagos would go for Fash.

Secondly, even though the domineering and tribalistic northerners would be greatly disturbed and sickened that APC isn't fielding a northern Hausa-Fulani candidate, I can bet my last buck they would rather have a Fashola meal instead of a Jonathan any day; in fact, they would rather vote a goat instead of Jonathan.

Lastly and most importantly, the Jonathanians of the SE and SS extraction; I can assure you that most of these people do not really like Jonathan and most are actually aware of his incompetence and shortcomings. The support for GEJ is rather due to a hatred for the domineering attitude of the North. While a lot would still remain Jonathanians, I am sure a lot of these people would reconsider their Jonathanian allegiance if they are presented with a non-Hausa-Fulani northerner. Fashola is the only candidate from the APC that can have this effect on the SS/SE

From my calculations, Fashola may not really be the god people paint him to be, but in the present scheme of things, he's well ahead of his contemporaries and he stands out as the ONLY person in the entire APC organisation whose candidacy can truly cause a stir in the GEJ camp; a Fashola candidacy would definitely divide the Jonathanian camp in the SE and SS and that is the ONLY chance the APC has at unseating PDP in 2015. Anything else and i'm afraid, Nigerians would unfortunately just have to endure with the clueless one and his toxic leadership for another 4 (or even more) torturous years.

Buhari would have been a good candidate but the PDP has done a very good job at poisoning the mind of the people with the 'Islamist' tag. It's unfortunate but in the Nigeria of today, Buhari cannot beat an incumbent Jonathan candidate. APC faithfuls might feel Buhari is the only candidate who can gather Northern votes but that is a bloody lie. With the irrational hatred the North has for Jonathan today, even if APC fields a pig, the North would vote massively for the livestock instead of Jonathan.

What kind of fvckery is this?..

The guy has just rendered his life irredeemable

President Goodluck Jonathan at the weekend [size=13pt]attended[/size] the wedding of Governor Rochas Okorocha's daughter Obianuju to the son of the secretary to the state government, Uzoma Anwuka, where he showered the governor with unexpected praises. Many had expected the president to by frugal with his accolades.

This report is strange cos Jonathan didn't feature in any of the pictures at the event. I think I only saw his Godfather Alams

So because fr.Mbaka has backed him,pple shd now vote for him or what.This is what u get wen pple use d toga of priesthood to over glorify their own importance.Even d most holy of holies,d pope himself does not delve into politics so unshamedly and partisanly.So who is fada Mbaka taking after wt all these his pentecoster like programmes?

Kayceo2010:
For all I know, weda Mbaka backs him or not, It certainly won't make people vote for him. Mbaka is from Enugu East and don't know anything about Enugu West.. So he should talk more about the Church and not endorsing politicians..

You guys are totally mistaken. This unholy endorsement will definitely win the senator many votes. Do you know the kind of influence some of these men of God wield?... Especially in the overly religious Nigerian society where people worship pastors more than they worship God himself?

I think it is totally wrong for men of God to openly show support for any political candidate. This can easily sway the votes of many followers from far and wide especially those who haven't made a choice on their preferred candidate.

The people you are trying to save or will benefit from the rights would be the first to gladly kill you.

Very true... For all those shouting revolution revolution! from my personal study of the Nigerian psyche, I have come to a conclusion that a revolution by the people can never happen/work in Nigeria because the moment it is started, it is the same people you think you are fighting for that would slaughter you for the most flimsy reason. Simply put, a lot of Nigerians have got their priorities absolutely wrong. If youu criticise the governor of Bayelsa for this senseless profligacy, I am sure the first people to attack you would be some indigent Bayelsans who would accuse you of being jealous of their state government house being the biggest in Africa; talk of priorities.

In the Nigeria of today, the only kind of revolution which is possible is if it starts from the top; i.e. if a no-nonsense powerful hardliner with a goodwill and strong focus becomes the presidentt.

Bayelsa State again!!

Considering the population and land mass of bayelsa state, it should be about the richest state in Nigeria. However, the people of Bayelsa are about the poorest and they live in pitiable squalor and backwardness. With the low population and the little land mass, developing a state like Bayelsa shouldn't be too difficult if only their leaders were not diabolically incompetent and focusless.

Not long ago, we had the saga of the over N24billion Bayelsan Government House named “The Glory Land Castle” which was touted to be the most expensive in the country. The edifice was ridiculously expensive that even the present governor Dickson forbade himself from living in it and we thought he was being reasonable. I believe the “Glory Land Castle” still remains vacant presently but the 'saintly' gov Dickson has just splashed even larger funds (N33billion) on a new government office. How did these BASTARDS even become our leaders?

I remember the CNN expose on the monumental waste called the Bayelsan government house by Timipre Sylva
https://www.facebook.com/video/embed?video_id=262914688153

Below is a report on what they called "The Unsuitable Government House". Gov. Dickson complained that the edifice was too expensive and for that reason, has decided to build a more modest edifice albeit at a higher cost.
http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/bayelsa-s-unsuitable-government-house/146296/

Does Bayelsa state have a world class hospital?.. Does the state have world class schools or even roads?... The only thing Niger-Delta governors think of is "world class government houses" which serves one man. Every governor wants to build a government house and they would tout it as an achievement.

With the accruing oil revenue, a state like Bayelsa has no excuse to be undeveloped. I really pity the poor people in the Niger-Delta areas if true federalism and full resource control is granted.

Every person who criticises the government is APC and bokoharam sympathiser. We are not even allowed to complain when nepa takes light anymore else you risk being labelled

great1:
well its about survival here.. why would you sabotage someone else's food because he took a chip from your plate?

Huh?.. Did you just say 'chip'?

Now let me give you a simple analogy. If there is a breaking news and there are 2 blogs reporting the news, which blog would you click?
1) 'unknown' blog
2) LindaIkeji blog

I am sure we all know which blog you and I will click. In fact it would be assumed that the other poor hungry bloggers are the ones copying Linda's stories. The effect of this is that if there are 1 million people reading that breaking news, over 999,900 would rather read the news on LindaIkeji's blog instead of the unknown, unverified blog. Do you know what that means?.. it literally means that the only plate of food owned by the poor blogger was taken away by the bigger blogger (who already has several warehouses filled with food). This case typically reminds me of the story of king David in the bible taking away his poor neighbour's single lamb and preparing peppersoup for his guest. When the poor neigbour complained, he was killed (just like Nigerians are presently murdering the 'unknown' blogger for daring to complain).

Now the right thing to do would have been to simply fix a tiny microscopic and even hardly visible inscription at the bottom of the story saying, "culled from bla bla bla.com" By acknowledging the other blogger, the big blogger would still take over 999,000 of the visitors but at least a few hundred people would decide to just open the smaller blogger's site at their spare time to see what he has and that would mean a win-win situation for both parties.

eaglechild:
Nothing has been proven yet so why jump to conclusions.

We should learn to distinguish allegations from facts.

What proof are you looking for when the facts are staring you in the face?...
Almost all bloggers in Nigeria do copy and paste. Linda herself did not even deny copying, all she came up with as her defence was that "everybody does it." So I don't know what other proof you are still looking for
