My side is fine... Missing you baby

Where are you from?

so you don dey toast now abi, i knew there was something about those false propaganda you pay nairaland to put on frontpage. Ewhu!

@topic

You people are just making noise. Its just that Seun has not done much to stop all this biafra talk on nairaland. I hope you dont want to be invited by DSS.

Which newspaper be that, thats definitely a village town newspaper, these guys can cook up stories because of hunger.

Is this why El-Rufai has been making mouth ? in case you Dont know, He will soon tie the knot with Zahra Buhari, Daughter of a President Buhari

Jakumo:
Hello Mr. Monogamy. Your clinically rendered projections of impending doom certainly do have an ominous ring, but to play devil's advocate and examine the on the other side of the coin for a moment, it is patently obvious that virtually ALL industrialized nations of Asia and Western Europe, along with The United States, and the often feuding sovereignties comprising the former Soviet union, are ALL, despite enormous political and ideological divides amongst each other, unified as one in their response of abject horror and revulsion over the serial massacres and mass executions perpetrated by ISIS.

That universally felt visceral outrage, over the sheer bestiality of Islamic terror, has in turn engendered a moral and humanitarian resolve by all but a tiny few nations comprising the world we occupy, the face off squarely against today's festering global peril, the so-called Islamic Front, and to comprehensively annihilate its capacity to field a viable military force ANYWHERE on Planet Earth.

Thus, for all the stern words of condemnation that have trailed Russia's military forays into Syria, chances are that behind the scenes, NATO leaders are offering quiet words of encouragement and praise to Russian President Putin for taking such a bold military stand against Islamic terror. As for the Chinese joining the fray and sending in jets to bombard Islamic terrorists, the same public finger-wagging will similarly be accompanied by secretly conveyed congratulations over the major butt-whopping being administered by the Chinese military, against enemies of the human race.

Rumours of the World's End are, thankfully once again, greatly exaggerated, to paraphrase an old saying.

You this man, where have you been? I thought you had already had a dinner with God on the other side

I hope Seun has seen this post, and there is no reason this should not be on the front page. Till today many people don't know why james ibori was jailed

N17k then was not small money. Traveling by Air has always been expensive right from the beginning. This thread is so unintelligent.

Pangea:
Lols
I've been putting up the articles on this thread for quite awhile, seems many are not too interested because it's quite a long read for our people. They prefers pictures and summary, but they still want the country to change.
We all are joking!
Peter Okoye posted a picture today comparing the country where he has gone for a show to Nigeria and he prayed that even if he will not live to see nigeria becoming like that country that God should please let his children be a witness to it.
I really cry for my country!

Even the set up of the forum is swimming in corruption capitalist-style. But there is hope for the rest of us.

Seun Lalasticlala mod moderator FP

In your dreams. Seun has declared to crackdown on all biafra threads, but why he has not yet began this is where the confusion lies

SenseiX:
I know right but with jail breaks everywhere who can tell, i'm even surprised Nigerian National security officials made such disclosures to a journalist, maybe it's because it's a foreign news agency....

Then we could now follow a trail..
That means if you post the article and the next morning we hear of a jailbreak, then we know boko haram agents are on nairaland
I dont know about the lousy dss but the CIA and some serious covert agents do stuffs like this to follow the trail

INTROVERT:
will they be held on the moon before?

Abeg help me ask am. We all deserve to know it, since you are copying it from a platform other people have access to too.

thanks... Seun this is what should make the frontpage and should be pinned on the front page for the remainder of the year.
If that is your fight towards corruption (which we are all equally yoked in), please do that admin!

lalasticlala front page or you dey sleep?

79 years old man, what is he still looking for at FIFA?
I know some people will liken him to Buhari, PMB's case is different

Afterthought 2.

As I completed this post, a Nigerian former Minister of Oil has just been arrested in Britain this week, under the same law used against James Ibori. If you as a Nigerian have evidence in such matters, will you stand up, even in court, or are you afraid?

Please dont stop oh.

Can you post the fb link of this Guy? i need to connect with him

Mogidi and Tonyebarcanista and their wailers need to drink water, eat and read this. This thread is changing my psyche.

Pangea:
It’s time to play by a different (ethical) set of rules (Part 7) Nigeria 1 of 5

___Sometimes the price can be very high in the fight against corruption.

I had the privilege of making Nigeria’s first GSM phone call back in 2001 when I called the regulator to say, “We’re live!” Who would’ve believed then that Nigeria today would have more than 167 million mobile phones?!

It all started out as a very exciting new chapter for enterprise in Africa. Shortly after President Obasanjo was elected, the new government announced an incredibly transparent international auction process for three national mobile phone licenses.

To participate in the bid, you not only had to raise money, but there had to be a member of the bidding consortium who was an experienced GSM operator. Econet Wireless met the requirements because of its experience in Zimbabwe and Botswana. Our Nigerian partners, which included state governments, local banks and high net worth individuals, were financial investors. The largest shareholder had only 10%. That was the written agreement.

I managed to assemble a consortium of 22 investors to put up the money needed to bid. Our shareholders were all Nigerian, mostly institutional investors including leading banks and two state governments, Lagos State and Delta State. The license cost us $285m and was the most expensive license ever issued in Africa at the time. This was 2001.

We considered the investment not only about putting together a network, but also about building a nation. We knew it had the potential to transform Nigeria’s entire business and social architecture.

Most of our investors had between 1-10% shareholding. Econet Wireless Nigeria had only 5% of the shares, but that was fine because it was 5% ownership of a very big pie.

As the "technical partner and operator," Econet was the company with the expertise to build and operate such a business. Our financial investors recognised this, and also allowed us to receive 3% of the turnover as our fees. This was standard practice in the industry.

We were one of the winning bidders and they gave us just six months to set up business and get our network operating. We were under a lot of pressure but our network was live two days before the others! Customers were pouring in. We were number one in the market with an estimated 57% market share.

___Then came the fateful day when I was told that our company must pay a total of $9m in bribes to senior politicians (in state government) who had facilitated the raising of the money to pay for the license.

I refused to authorise the illegal payments. Meeting after meeting was held to try to get me to agree, but I would not. The money would not be paid as long as Econet was the operator and I had signing authority.

James Ibori, the Governor of Delta State, was demanding $4,5m be paid to him in his personal capacity. He was one of the most powerful men in the country and had a reputation for violence. When he heard that I was refusing to approve payment he issued an ultimatum:

___"Pay or I will chase you and your people out of the country."

I refused.

The shareholders met and voted Econet Wireless Nigeria out of management. They cancelled our management contract. James Ibori and his colleagues personally attended the meeting to remove us. After the meeting one of them (a prominent local businessman even today) came up to me and said: "Unfortunately for you, God does not have a vote."

I had to withdraw all my staff and their families: 200 people in all. We left Nigeria.

Most of our people had to be retrenched. The loss of the contract almost drove us to bankruptcy as a group.

They invited a big international operator to replace us as technical partner and operator. They changed the name of the company from Econet to V-Mobile.

Within days of their arrival, the managers of the new operator signed off the payments demanded as bribes.

Then what happened?

A few noble Nigerians had both the integrity and courage to carefully collect all the documentation on the movement of the money, and pass it all on to me.

___There’s a saying worth remembering in uncovering the trail of destruction that is corruption: “Follow the money”…

I bided my time... then I wrote a letter to the United States Department of Justice!

It was 2003.

To be continued…

all i can say is wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow
WOW! lalasticlala front page now!!!

will our youths be patient enough to read and be wise?

May God Bless Us All

have you stopped begging for protection? Now you see nothing is coming out from all your gragra
at least the one we know, omojuwa, has a job to back up his activism but you, na nairaland you dey change boxers

abeg leave my CFC alone

Yes, very correct.

The SE leaders need to bring their heads together and stop this disunity between them
Onitsha, Aba, Awka, Enugu, Umuahia all have the ingredients to be far better than Lagos X 1000 if they could leave their selfish ambitions behind and "attract" their brothers from Lagos. None of them is even pushing the SE development agenda either in the senate or the presidency and some fools are shouting Biafra, so who go come develop Biafra when no one gives a shyt about south east then?

you don come with your foolish nonsense again. there is no meaning in this thread. stop wasting our bandwidth

Photoland.

fanny cocaine didnt say this when gej was in corrupt-power. The people killed by these 'murderous fulani herdsmen' according to fanny cocaine in gej's time is tantamount to war crimes estimate. What makes me even the more surprised is photoland giving fanny cocaine an audience. That means i could smoke some weed, make some incoherent talks and photoland will take me right to the front page of space.
