cbrass: Yea..not even your SS and SE can bring him back

Yeah, we heard that last time....I wonder how that played out.....hmmmm....

DEFINITELY.

cbrass: Old Man, I never said that you mentioned Lagos-Ibadan express way but was only trying to pick out the lie in what you said considering the roads you said your son was repairing. Well if the most busy road in the country is left out( since have not been to those areas you mentioned to ascertain the repairs) then that could only mean that..... Anyway he is leaving in 2015

Wrong again. He's leaving in 2019. Doubt that?

cbrass: Are you a nigerian at all? And if you are do you ply the lagos-ibadan express way often? I guess the answer is no. How can you say that repairs of road is an achievement when a new road should hv been built. I give those roads you mention 2years and they are back to their initial stage.

As for the revitalizing of th train you talked about. I hope its not those 1883 locomotives I see every day in lagos that the coaches reduce every month

Young man, read my post again. and slowly. Did I at antime mention the Lagos-Ibadan expressway? I intentionally chose NOT to mention that road because I have not plied it in YEARS, unlike the others I mentioned.

And yes I am a Nigerian. Probably more Nigerian than you as i've lived in. and travellled to, most of the nation's geopolitical regions, unlike you who probably havent gone beyond the boundaries of the SW.

nñnññnjjjjj .

Sagamite: Back up my claims?

What claims do you want me to back up?

That Nigeria has had an economic diversification policy before Jonathan? Or that it has been taking effect before Jonathan? You don't know these and you want to debate with me, Sagamite?

Are you serious? You want to waste my time?

Please entertain me and clarify what you requested to be backed up.

So if a community needs a tree to produce a fruit they like and Mr A appoints someone to plant the tree, to water the tree and it starts growing. Then Mr B appoints someone to continue to water the tree without Mr B doing anything special, in your world, Mr B is some genius that should take the glory?

Mr B is responsible for creating the revolution of the tree?

And you have a right to vote?

I asked you and you did not answer: Please tell me hour many megawatts of electricity Nigeria produces at the moment.



First of all, are you telling me that we have some high quality roads in Wukari and PHC? Some world class roads? Or are you telling me to celebrate the fact that my government has decided to do his job? Even when it is mediocre?

Secondly, what about the most important road in Nigeria: Lagos-Ibadan? It is like Munich to Berlin road?

What about Sagamu-Benin? It is like London to Birmingham?

You are telling me to celebrate mediocrity while Jonathan is busy looting $1bn with Etete?



What stress has been taken out of the road network?

What is the quality of service of the Nigerian rail network?

What is the quality of the trains? What is the quality of the journey? What is the quality of the journey time? What is the quality of the stations?

Do you know what century you are in that you are celebrating these lame "achievements"?


What next?

You will tell me to give Jonathan praise for producing an annual budget?

The depths some of you people have sank to is shocking. Undertaking your basic responsibilities and underachievement are worth celebrating!

Dude, spewing insults here and there with exclamation marks still does NOT make you right. Besides, I assume you reside outside Nigeria, that's why you have. absolutely no idea on what's happening in Nigeria. Btw, I never said that the roads I mentioned are comparable with the London A3 or anything you'll find in developed nations. But it still doesnt change the fact the GEJ transformed them from total eye-sores abandoned by previous administrations despite the billions released to smooth and motorable highways they were meant to be. Think of the hours slashed from travel time or cost reductions as motorists, particularly truck drivers, dont have to spends hundreds of thousands changing shock-absorbers or so. Or would you have preferred if GEJ left those roads to rot further?


And I still stand by my claim that GEJ is responsible for the agricultural revolution. Like every competent leader, he recruited smart brains like the agriculture minister, NOI, and co, gave them ALL the necessary support, and supervised their activities. THAT is leadership 101 for you. As the team-lead of the current administration, he DESERVES praise for all that.

Sagamite: Are you telling me the rail line reconstruction started under Jonathan?

Please enlighten me on how the federal road in Nigeria is at the moment.

I wait. I will dedicate this glorious morning to you.

With respect to road repairs, READ MY POST again. I ply those roads listed quite often and I can CATEGORICALLY tell you that GEJ has performed remarkably well. I know the sorry states of those roads before the GEJ administration. Okigwe-PHC was a TOTAL eye sour, Jalingo-Wukari road was simply bandit country particularly close to Wukari. TERRIBLE was the only word I could describe the Jalingo-Numan-Yola road, Gboko-Otukpo road- pathetic, and every Cross-Riveian who have plied the Okoja-Ikom road can attest to how terrible it wAs. Overall, a trip from Jalingo-PHC took me over 12 solid-painful-backbreaking hours on a very good day. But everything changed in the first quarter of this year, 2013. Thanks to GEJ my last trip took almost half its time and roads were SMOOTH.


As for the rails, we all know OBJ initiated its revitalization. But can you list how many services were running. Hell, some of the projects were even abandoned for Christ. GEJ takes the praise for at least the continuity of the rail revitalization work and its expansion, thus taking out much stress from our road network. Shouldnt he be praised for that? Cmon dude, you shouldnt allow your hatred blind you to all these. Be fair pls.

Sagamite: NO!

Our diversification leading to the development of the Agricultural sector has been a policy BEFORE Jonathan and has been taking effect BEFORE Jonathan.

Our brilliant Agricultural Minister has done well while Jonathan is busy looting and protecting criminals that are stealing money budgeted for the development of Nigeria and which could have gone into the agricultural sector. If the minister wanted to loot instead of doing his job, Jonathan would not give a fck and would protect him. So the development is IN SPITE of Jonathan.

Hence Jonathan is not responsible for any agricultural revolution.

Please tell me hour many megawatts of electricity Nigeria produces at the moment.

Care to back up your claims? And YES GEJ IS RESPONSIBLE for the agricultural success of the nation because HE was responsible for assembling/recruiting the team behind the success AND overseeing them. Or who the hell do you think recruited the Agricultural minister and the likes of NOI and Aganga? APC?

You may not like the president, but it is only fair you accord him the respect, and in some cases praise, he deserves.

BUT that said, we still can't compare GEJ with Mandela. Even GEJ himself will refute it. Dr. Okupe was wrong.

And yes, under the GEJ administration, we have experienced the revival of our once dilapidated rail networks. The trains are up and running (though slow), and more lines are currently being constructed as we speak.


And finally roads. If there is one area that sets GEJ higher than his predecessor s (both military and civilian) it is the repairs of our major highways long abandoned and the construction of new roads. And as a frequent traveller, I can personally attest to that. Is it the long abandoned Jalingo-Wukari road, Otukpo road that once caused me to rain insults on David Mark, Abakiliki-Ogoja-Cameroun road, Ogoja Ikom road, Jalingo-Numan/Yola (a main transport artery to the core north-east region), or the once dreaded Okigwe-Umuahia-Aba-PHC road? GEJ has fixed them all.

Sagamite: You are a pure person!

You really need to check yourself into a decent mental health facility.

Which railway did Jonathan fix? Which roads did he repair? How as he transformed the power sector, banking blah blah blah, person!

All the things you listed cretinously are projects started before the cretin you have as President and which the cretin has not done anything significant about to get any credit.

Even the Agricultural sector development is inspite of Jonathan, not because of Jonathan.

Moooron!

I may not support the comparison between GEJ and Madiba, but your post on GEJ is TOTALLY wrong.

GEJ is SOLELY responsible for the agricultural revolution that we currently experience, making the sector a major source of foreign exchange after petroleum. Hell, even our bright Agricultural Minister was just named FORBES MAN OF THE YEAR.

Yes, GEJ is responsible for the reforms in the power sector. OBJ may have initiated the construction of a number of new power stations (kudos to him), but who is responsible for the completion and expansion of same projects, the building of additional power statiins, tthe repair of existing transmission facilities, building of new transmission lines, substations, and the distribution of transformers across the federation? who was also responsible for the Gas Revolution that saw the construction of new gas pipelines, thus resolving the issue of gas supply to these stations? Thats right, GEJ.

BEST. ANSWER. EVER.

validplanet: If Rochas Okorocha contests in 2015, he will win.

It is signed, sealed and documented.

Jokes apart. I read the prophecy many years back. and it makes me more conscious of the fact that God is real and He declares the end of a matter from the beginning.

for those those who wld think its foolish because there's no proof. sory, i have no proof. but i know what am talking about.

Wake up.

ROSSIKE: Yes, he is our Mandela. You don't need to be jailed for 27 years to be a 'Mandela'. Which other Nigerian president has expanded agriculture, fixed the railway, remodelled 22 airports, repaired thousands of miles of federal roads, transformed the power sector, banking sector, telecoms, construction etc, all within a space of 2 years? He is even better than Mandela sef.

Bros, mbok backtrack. Yes GEJ has been able to accomplish what multiple administration combined couldnt, and no one will forget that.


BUT comparing GEJ to Madiba? Heh.....my brother, it's just not right. We're talking about NELSON MANDELA here oh, not Ndubuisi Mandela, Adewale Mandela, or Ahmed Mandela. You simply CANNOT compare GEJ with the legend.

Ok....i'm a staunch GEJ supporter.....but calling him our Mandela by Okupe is taking it abit too far. NO ONE can fill Madiba's shoes....maybe xcept our founding fathers like Herbert Macauly.

it's no biggie. My grand dad had 24 wives (yep, I said it).

Ayomax: guy who told I'm a supporter of APC? to me APC n PDP r dasame!!!! well da reason I had to abuse tht lunatic parents is I need to put him in his place, u need to read his first comment on this trend n see if its not justifiable to curse him n his generation

And you had to insult his parents to achieve that, abi? Dont you have any respect for your elders? Or didnt your folks teach you better?

AdekunleBalogun: Obviously Lagos is better managed by Fashola than abuja, compare the population of Lagos to Abuja, the landscape of Lagos. I know more can be done by the Fashola administration bt for now his on the right direction.

I aint On Chris Okotie's side buh Finally, there are elements of truth in what he said apart from em going to hell..

Normally, Catholics don't refer to the bible that much during service, The Name Jesus is mentioned fewer than Mary's in any of their sermons..

Have u read about the Spanish Inquisition, These were years when catholics(the pope) ordered people to be extremely tortured and burnt and killed.. It was a Gory sight then.. Just because u don't believe in the Pope's Teachings.. They say Islam is a religion of War, That they kill or force people to Convert.. Just Read about the Spanish inquisition and see how deadly the christians(catholics) were then..

Pastor Chris Okotie Himself is not a real man of God.. A man who divorces his wife @ will is nothing buh a Son of a Bi*ch.. He's intelligent, Buh he still sins like a Layman..

Besides, why do christians threaten each other with hell?? U need to see how christians Condemn to hell their own fellow christians from other denominations let alone people from other sects like The Muslims, Hinduists, Buddhists, Rastafarians..

[/b]

Is this some sort of joke or what? Have u EVER attended our masses? Where do we take our readings and draw or sermons from? Eckanckar?

If you dont have a damn clue about the catholic denomination and faith, SHUT UP AND LEARN rather than embarass yourself here. Nonesense.

iyke926: CATHOLIC TRADITION - Purgatory, nuns, popes etc

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS - None of these is mentioned in the Bible. It is a sin to add to the Bible.


The pope is a man who takes upon himself honor which belongs to no human being. Even the very name
by which he allows himself to be called (Holy Father) is highly presumptuous and blasphemous.

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS -Matthew 23:9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.


One does not need the pope to determine what God's will is. The Bible says that God has given the Holy Ghost to each believer and that he (the Holy Ghost) guides and leads us into all truth. All a believer needs is the Bible and the Holy Ghost to know the will of the
Lord. Popery has been treacherous and the popes have been the blind leading the blind. Jesus said that
both will fall into the ditch. Pope Francis is trying to save the game of popery.

Catholics, come out of this system that cannot save and know Jesus for youself, intimate and up-close
according the truth which is God's word.


Quoters, dont qoute me . Obrigada amigos e amigas

Protestant tradition: General Overseers, deacons, superstar pastors, private jets, entourage, divorcee, skirt chasing. Those are equally not in the bible....oh wait, the last 2 are.

Theben: While the pope is giving alms to the needy and the homeless, our humble pastors are advicing the needy to sow the little they have and expect imaginary abundance.

What a pity

oh cmon!!! That brand new private jet won't buy itself. it is required for the ministry.

Nope, the catholic denomination of christianity will not take you to heaven.........but I guess the jerry-curl making, divocee, jet-flying, superstar-overseer,skirt chasing church will...

blackprowler: Even from what I wrote you had no clue. Oh Gad! Lol. Tell someone to read it for you and estimate what stage in life I must be. I use this account to yab smartasses

Aaaaah....kids ...they think they know it all....*tsk tsk*

blackprowler: You don't know shit. Nig is filled with your type that's why we have all these probs. Do you know what age ppl in decent climes start to date? Do you know what dating actually means, because una don corrupt boy/girl relationships in Nigeria. A partner is not a commodity on a shelf you go pick up after you've gone through school and got a job and "qualified" for it. None of you know shit in this country. By the way, there's no academic degree for relationships knowledge and academic degree, unlike what you all think in Nigeria, doesn't make the holder any more knowledgeable in anything but the very narrow area of life they went to study and it should result in new knowledge to the world. What new knowledge have you brought to the world? Abeg I only have pry 6 LOL

Kiddo, you just made my day. I guess our nation will be great only when teens like you are allowed to focus less on their studies and more on the dating game (even if the later leads to issues like loss of focus, teenage pregnancies, and truncated destinies). But hey, what does this old dude know?
Just dont come back to nairaland years later asking for ways to make it in life with 3 resits in WAEC and a 3rd Class.


Oh btw, I never said a degree was needed to date in life. What I and other posters have been harping on is for the op to place his focus on his studies, not girls, and become successful in life. And trust me, with success you can have anything or any lady you want.

haibe: Have you finished school

How about a first degree (Engineering) and two (2) Masters degrees? You think we're all kids?

i'll say it again: leave the girls and focus on your studies. You'll thank me later.

[quote author=IGBO-PRESIDENT]I helped wake her up. When she regained consciousness,she didn't just know what to do or where to start confessing or how to start pleading for forgiveness.
I categorically told her it was over between us. I collected the dubai necklace I gave her(which was a symbol of our engagement). She pleaded with me but I told her it was over btw us. I left.

The following day, she came to my house with Veron my best friend who betrayed me. They said they came to beg for my forgiveness.

She said it was me she loved, and that it was a mistake what happened btw her and Veron. Veron was speechless.
I told them to go and never come back because I don't ever want to see their faces. I left there.
My girl kept coming. I neglected her. She kept calling me. She called me again yesterday which is why I'm writing this.
Should I forgiver her?[/quote]Nope. Move on.

Now that's better.
