SimonAndal:
I tried really hard to like this, [size=15pt]but I can't get past the Nigerian accent[/size]. I'm sorry, I just can't. It's a deal-breaker for me.

And what is up with the unnecessary slo-mos and the hastily edited jump cuts? Truthfully this is a bad trailer.

Nigerians are talking and you expect a foreign accent??

Sorry to say this but I think you suffer from a very common strain of inferiority complex and an identity crisis that has plagued majority of Nigerians for decades.

amarilo: all through the interview I did not see any body pushing ur Adeola away from the president. When will u people stop misinforming the populace. Is this a Yoruba thing or u learn it from somewhere?

^^
I am sure you are not blind else you wouldnt have been able to type and make this post. So my concern is, if you are not blind, why were you not able to see the people trying to shove the interviewer away??.. is this just some kind of mischief on your part?.. I know they say love is blind so is it that your love for the president has gotten you blind??

My concern also goes to the bunch of people that liked your post. Do they like your post because they agree with what you wrote or is it for some other reason??

Nigerians na wa!!

Anyway, all I can say is that the girl was quite brave because from all indications, she clearly broke security protocol to get close to Mr President.

ayusco85: Apportioning blame won't wake the dead. Fix the damn bridge and arrest the driver. Why did he fled the scene if he aint guilty?

taharqa: Just hear yrself: so Destructive criticism 'knocks the Govt to order'?... Too many DONKEYs around *smh*

theoctopus: The way you post incredibly ignorant statements is alarming. Destructive criticism does not know the government to order. It destroys the country and everything that is in it, including you and the community you live in. Some of you have taken your ignorance to a whole new level. Which investor will want to come to Nigeria if all they read is Sahara Reporters? How will the power sector reforms and privatization have gotten to this level if all they read is Sahara Reporters? How do you hope to achieve Eko Atlantic is all foreigners read is Sahara Reporters? In one breath you go about slagging off the country and pulling it down, in another breath, you go around asking them to come and invest in your mega city. You cannot eat your cake and have it. You folks have become the proverbial child that vows his mother would not sleep. How will you ever see sleep too?

Mahatma Ghandi: since when did elements of truth become truth ? at least you recognise some of their stories are ridiculous. well I wont say they are 80 % correct most of the time as you asserted, but if it is, those eighty % correctness is nothing but elements of truth, this I find disturbing. what the devil told eve in the garden was not a lie, it was just a story with elements of truths. I want to assume you know the story about half truths. what L. Monica told the press about president Clinton was not a lie what she told was stories with elements of truth, the basis on which ken saro wiwa was killed was not a lie, it was a story with elements of truth. my point is, the greatest deceits in history where all delivered with elements of truth. when u said I now have a different opinion because I love the president, well yes I love the president but not anymore than I love you. I try to be as objective as I can and I know many here will agree with me that Sahara reporters lost it somewhere along the line. I will beg you not to go categorising everyone that doesn't follow the trend of throwing stones at the presidents as fans of his, if the president errs I will put it as best I can constructively not destructively. in my humble opinion which I believe I am entitled to Sahara reporters have been trying to give the dog a bad name so that when it is finally hanged eye brows wont be raised.

Mahatma Ghandi: Sowore sahara reporters has become a source of serious concern for most of Nigeria's unbiased populace, it has moved from right thinking and unbiased reporting to a cynical and unreasonable media house . it hurts more because a few years ago sowore's sahara reports was one of Nigeria's most credible and fearless whistle blowers, but today many can barely read the headlines of their publications because of the mindless bias and hate with which they write and publish stories. I guess at the end the saying "all good things come to an end and every man carry within himself his own self destruct button" is once again the case

A few years ago they were one of Nigeria's most credible and fearless whistle blowers but all of a sudden because you have a president you love on the throne, their reporting has automatically become 'biased and hate filled'... Wake up from your slumber my friend, Sahara Reporters did not change; power only shifted hands.

As far as I'm concerned, no matter how ridiculous the stories of SR may sound, there is always an element of truth and the stories end up being perfectly correct 80% of the time. I don't think I can quote such statistics for our government mouth pieces and other media agencies.

The truth is that less than 30 persons arrived in New York with the President this morning as members of his entourage.

Other than them, the only other persons who are in New York for the UN General Assembly with the President’s knowledge and approval are relevant ministers and few essential aides

We are certainly aware that many Nigerian citizens are currently on visits to New York. These persons are here for their own purposes and neither President Jonathan nor his administration has any responsibility for the presence of these persons in New York.

50calibre: Because I think in Nigeria, diesel is much more expensive than petrol

Petrol cars are on average faster than diesel cars

Once Diesel engines begin to give problems, they are really hard to fix

Once diesel finishes in a diesel car, you have to flush the whole system before it functions properly again

Diesel can be hard to find at times, unlike petrol that's ubiquitous.

uboma:
How did you arrive at the above deductions? You are wrong mate. The reverse is the case

ayodeji752: " i am working WITH Goodluck Jonathan" madam u are rude. D rite way of saying it is " i am working FOR Goodluck Jonathan" cos u are working for him

25Calibre: @OP I agree with all you've said, except for the part where you say, " If you are not talented and brilliant, do not bother going into rap or music at all " there are lots of places around the world where this statement is applicable, but Nigeria isn't one of them.

Time and time again, it's been proven that you don't need talent or brilliance to succeed in the Nigerian music scene because if that the case, people like Olamide, Reminisce, terry g, davido e.t.c won't be selling loads of records while someone like Mode 9 sells almost none.

You highlighted all that is needed to succeed in Nigeria as an artist, the point is every artist has to be able to relate with the Nigerian populace

first thing that has to be understood is that since poverty is rife in Nigeria, songs that are able to relate to things like street talk/slangs, hooliganism, immorality, alcohol, fraud, making money, blend it with a catchy beat (e.g terry g) and watch it sell like hot cake.

luluosas: [size=15pt]Glo Is Really Cheating Their Prepaid Internet Subscribers Big Time[/size].
[size=15pt]Can you image that, the Glo Instant Surf Internet plan being sold at N100 to prepaid customers is less than N100 for postpaid customers?[/size] In fact, they charged me N95.24k for the same 13MB data volume yesterday. This network (Glo) is truly taking us (their prepaid customers) for a ride.
See the message I received from 51010 after subscribing to the Instant Surf data plan yesterday with my official Glo CUG postpaid line.

homesteady: Thank you my brother!! Roads are commissioned almost everyday!! So what's the press about?? Or is this the first road to be built in lagos??
Come on, you guys have made us believe that lagos is one heaven on earth, so why the merriment for just one road being completed??

kenis: What all the press about? Roads are being built in Other states everyday without the governors running to the press. It's is only Fashola, T.A Orji and Aregbesola that I still hear make this kind of noise for some meters of road.

manny4life: The bold can only happen in Imo and nowhere else, it's okay to have dreams because we're entitled to it, but reality will smack his face really hard. The SE with exception to Imo is a no-go for APC, the party isn't welcomed, if Igbos can work together to revive APGA, and Peter Obi is definitely not helping issues. I'd rather take the current APGA that way it is than to have APC...God forbid a party found by looters and terrorist alike.

The commissioner said it was just [size=14pt]coincidence[/size] that the police escorts attached to Sakari and Baraje were removed at this time when the PDP is in crisis.

petrov 10: simple . Many of these so called aggrieved govenors wnt stand these arogant attitudes frm thier subordinates................Ameachi suspended a L.G charman for coming late to a meeting , and now u see him running around wit his new found friends thinking they can undermine the presidency

them go drink hot wax

ideyvexnow: Guy Na lie you dey talk,

All you guys want is to grab power once again.

But this time, e go hard..

torhuke: Stop misleading people here Mr APC diehard. It is the business of the opposition to criticise and call the ruling party to order when it takes decisions that affect the the populace. The opposition criticise policies and give reasons why they so do. The opposition churn out ideas that can better the lot of the people. The opposition give the people alternative choices to decisions of the ruling party especialy as it relates to socio-economic policies... So far so good, APC is a far cry from all of the above.. They only know how to insult the president for frivolous reasons, they trivialise sensitive issues (such as the boko haram and the SOE), the demean the office of the president, pour their age long tanrums on a man transforming this country albeit slowly and steadily.. And u come here to define opposition to suit your parochial inclinations.. U better take your time!!

ideyvexnow: Why should we see anything wrong with what He is doing.

All I see is that He is doing everything he can to survive and continue to develop the Niger Delta, a region which have been totally polluted exploited and ignored by all the previous South Western on Northern President of this country.
After benefiting and enriching yourselves for decades, you extremely selfish and wicked people can not even cool down and allow this guys develop his region.

If I were GEJ I will do worse.

Just Imagine, after just ruling for 2 years, APC and Atiku can't allow Goodluck to rule in peace.

First it was Bokohram. Now it is APC and New PDP.

Na waa for you political desperadoes...

DIVINE78: Thanks for this post. GEJ supporters are mostly ediots.

Why do you pull your trousers up beyond the waist?

Hahahaha….That trousers style is called Yohji Yamamoto. It was my own audacious statement to remonstrate against the pervasive tendency of Nigerians especially our youths that took to the practice of putting on trousers exposing their lower anatomical contours and I will do it over and over again.

christ4mi: I don't why people will always like to cause confusion, this early marriage is a Northern Muslims thing, did anyone force us to marry out our daughters or sister early? Alcohol is perfectly legal in Nigeria does it mean that everyone must consume Alcohol? Southern compatriot we fighting for pple who don't want fight for themselves. Until Northern Muslims lead the way in fight against Early Marriage, then I will join the fight. It non of my business for now

BlackBaron: Am I the only one that saw this stat ?


10% in 2013?
Why so much recalcitrance to education...

israel007: So it's only austria and finland that's livable in Europe.


So abj is not livable. England is not livable. Singapore is not livable.


Yucky report!

Tuntheycr7: Where is New york, Mexico, London, Millan and PARIS ?
Abuja nko too?
