victorian: Of course! Photographs, magazines, videos showing their marriage ceremony and how they lived together thereafter.. That cannot be swept away...no, it can't!... U r on point, sir.

No one is saying that there wasn't a wedding ceremony, but that EVERYTHING (wedding ceremony, 72 days marriage) was a total scam aimed solely at boosting the ratings of her program.

Anyway, what's the big deal there. He doesn't want anything to do with her (no sensible man will), neither does he want her damn money. She should just sign the papers.

[quote author=GARRI (x7)]Only in Nigeria will the health situation of a public officer be shrouded in occultic level of secrecy..[/quote]'ever heard of doctor-patient confidentiality?

[quote author=Negro_Ntns]on the scale of population and resource, when you compare the two conutries our military have indeed failed. our military are operating in a zone under emergency declaration and yet have failed to contain cross-border attacks from one state to the other. the failure is highlighted by the event in which a military command zone that houses many generals was attacked.

the fact that boko has remained in north and not crossed southward is by their own choice and has nothing to do with military efectiveness in containing their spread and blocking a southbound assault. if boko chooses to head south we cannot rely on our military to give us safety and security, we must depend on our various regional vigilantes to provide security.......in fact, so far, the fear of a bloody encounter with the vigilantes has been a more successful deterrent than is the fear of the military.[/quote]What "zone of emergency declaration" are you talking about? You do know the FG lifted the curfew in the NE, a region still firmly in tge hands on the FG. Oh btw, I live in same "zone".

One more thing, do NOT compare Nigeria with Mali. While the former's busy tackling and dismantling terror cells in a region THE GOVERNMENT FULLY CONTROLS, the later lost HALF OF THE COUNTRY TO ISLAMIC REBELS, with their army on the run. So there are zero similarities.

victorian: He go taya... Let him hang in there, until kim and Kanye starts living together in their 11million dollars home, even have three kids join... His eyes go clear, and he will quietly move on and remarry someone of his class.. Keep on waiting for annulment..kini big deal, sef?

I honestly don't get your post. Is he asking/demanding that Kim remarry him? What the poor dude is asking for is ANNULMENT cos he believes their "marriage" was a FRAUD. So Kim can do whatever she likes, or marry any sucker she wants. As long as the court annuls her previous failed marriage, her ex-hubby is OK.

femionasan: I do not argue with people that resort to name calling when they cant accept an opposing view. The fact still remains that performance speaks for itself, not the whole propaganda ish you people are doing. Anyway you are getting paid for an honest days work, so i dont blame you.

So anyone who support the current administration is a paid agent, abi? And what what proof do you have to support your ridiculous claim?

Abeg, just buzz off.

BetaThings: What you call the Nothingness

All the refineries in Nigeria
All the bridges in Lagos including 3rd mainland bridge
At least 90% of federal universities, polytechnics, etc
At least 75% of federal airports
A vibrant national carrier - Nigeria Airways
A vibrant national shipping line - NNSL
PHCN infrastructure - transmission network
Most decent trunk A roads in the country
The oil pipelines all around the country
The gas pipelines reducing the power pressure on PHCN
Relocation to Abuja
Power suppy was relatively stable until the latter part of the 90s
Investment in most national assets being sold and "perhaps being pocketed" in the name of privatisation
Exportation of refined products by Nigeria
Most of the sports glory - 2 AFCON, Olympic soccer gold

The somethingness under your Southern Brother
Importation of petroleum products with attendant subsidy scam topping 2trillion Naira
No national airline. Even Virgin Nigeria/Air Nigeria have disappeared through asset stripping
No national shipping line. The local content policy exists on paper only. Where are the ships?
Abandoned projects, announced projects, politics of propaganda
Power supply has improved but tariff has sky rocketed

Mr. Aboki, please shut the hell up

-under whose rule were our 4 refineries sabotaged and neglected?
-under whose rule were our schools abandoned?
-under whose rules were the same bridges and roads u mentioned equally abandoned and left to rot?
-When u folks handed over in 1999, how many aircrafts were still flying or even airworthy?
-who's rule was responsible for the ness in the health sector?
-whose rule was responsible for the decay of our power sector (transmission, distribution, generation)? How much power was being generated under same rule?
-whose rule almost destroyed the professionalism and moral of our military? Who grounded our tanks, our aircrafts, our warships?
-under whose rule did Nigeria become a pariah state?
-under whose rule did Nigerians experience total abuse of their basic rights

Please, feel free to provide the answers. Oh, while you're at it, answer this one question:

-whose administration(s) is trying to clean up 30 years+ of damn mess left behind by Northern leaders?

DJDOLA: I don't care if they eat meat or not...

Yeah, but still expect them to protect you when armed robbers come calling, abi?

femionasan: "When a man chooses to support an argument with verbal assaults, its either the argument or the man is weak. In most cases it is both". If you like hang yourself for Jonathan or hit your head agaisnt the roof of your shanty, the truth is always bitter, and your response shows your level maturity. You will not convince anybody in his/her right senses that black is white.

And this is the best argument you can come up with? Riiight.....

femionasan: Some people are definitely far from the reality on ground. How many homes have these smart meters you are talking about? You just run your fingers on the keyboard without knowing what is really happening. Wake up and smell the coffee. Oh! I forgot, y'all are paid pipers. Mtttcchhhheeeeewwwww!!!!

Hey take your trash talk somewhere else. What statistical proof do you have to support your claim that most households (letigimately connected) are without smart meters? After how many years? And what's the flat rate people without smart/analog meters pay? Even if there's a raise, how do you expect to draw in private sector participation/investment without making the private sector lucrative?

So just shut the f@#k up and buzz off.

Jerie: ^^ Well, we now pay more for electricity, we pay more for fuel and eith due respect, he has been an abject failure with regards to agriculture.How many NEW roads has he maintained? What of the Pension scam as well as the SURE-P wayo? How many SURE-P beneficiaries have been paid? On security, more people die from terrorism here than in Somalia.

And what about the pension scam? Is GEJ administration not the first to expose the corruption there? Have assets not been siezed with the perpertrators of the scam arrested and arraigned before the court of law?

And finally, security. Yes the administration faltered initially on this important field, and one reason behind this was our inexperience in coubter-terrorim. But that has changed. The security services (intelligence, military, law enforcement) received a bump in their budget, the right people were appointed for the right jobs (eg. Maj. Sarkin Bello, former JTF commander, from GOC 82nd Div to Counter-terror adviser to NSA), the men of the security services were trained and retrained in counter-terrorism, Counter-insurgency (COIN), intelliegence gathering, etc. And finally more platforms were acquired and ICT was adopted in the fight against terrorism (CCTV cameras for surveillance, the NPF's own PLMN, etc). And everything is beginning to bear fruits. There has been a drop in the number of attacks recorded, BH has been severely crippled with a lot of its key leaders either killed and arrested during sting ops by the SSS/JTF/NPF.

Please I suggest you do a thorough research before you post any other comment, cos the points you raised are wrong. Yes we pay more for fuel, but we pay less for electricity, thanks to the smart meters installed across the nation. And why call GEJ a ailure in the Agricultural sector, when his administration has recorded a number of successes, including the improved delivery of fertiluzers directly to farmers through the elimination of the middlemen cartel?

WORST: further maths

DIG/The Bull. I was a wicked prefect.

[quote author=~Bluetooth]The Assshole is even doubting the report of the state department on police killing more nigerians than boko haram.confused mofo[/quote]Yeah, because the American State Department always gets everything right, abi? Monkey.

ngozievergreen: Before nko? Was dere power supply to watch it. Or do u think my TV uses charcoal?

So basically you just criticise the President blindly without going through video 1st? Isn't that just plain stupidity on your part?

Cuckoo48: He is an olodo. Was born an olodo. Remains an olodo. Now my gripe with him is this: Knowing the extent of his olodoness, why he come run for president?

Yeah, and you are a demented baboon ruled by an "olodo".

remisworld: Dear Chigorkizz, Firstly Acadasol said most nigerians.. Not all.. Also I personally think the, 'when I was young I had no shoe' routine he used to win nigerian over has worn thin. People r starting to get disillusioned by Him(GEJ). The wool has been lifted from our eyes and we r starting to see who he is and what he stands for. His Fuel price hike didn't help matters none.. His failure to keep his word of reverting back to the pump price left by his predecessor also didn't adhere him to us none.. His failure after a year to tackle the matter leading to this price hike in anyway ie, the so called CABAL looting the subsidy monies, the lack of proper action taken against the BOKO haram sect etc.. Frankly, can anyone name one thing our president did right last year. one thing he did right to propel the country forward last year.. None.. So when u face and interviewer known for incisive questioning, he has ever right to b ow he was. Nervous.. Oh and by the way one more question, name of Leader that wasn't a good public speaker. It one of the requirements.. U nid to b able to inspire the confidence of ur followers no matter what.. When u can't do that, I'm sorry u av failed.

Oh please spare us the trash talk about GEJ and the fuel subsidy saga! GEJ's administration MUST be commended for being the VERY FIRST to tackle the festering rot in subsidy program, and its attempt to end a process though which a handful of criminals used to bleed the nation's coffers dry. But it was buffoons like you that thwarted the FG's efforts 'cos you all were thinking with your bellies (nit your heads), and couldn't stand the changes that came with the decision. Even with the president's decision to halt the subsidy removal temporarily, it's no longer business as usual as every deal is rigorously investigated b4 further payments are made. Even those who gained via fraudulent means are currently being prosecuted.

So please zip it.

thelastPope: The responses on this thread really worry me. Intellectual leaders? Hitler was a very intellectual leader and about the greatest orator of the 20th century. How did it turn out again? Babangida was a very clever leader. Someone remind me how it turned out again?

The nonsense posts from people like ballabrigs remind me of the UNILAG-MAULAG saga. The biggest reason MAULAG students and their supporters were against the name change was because the name didnt have "swag". The same pettiness is being displayed shamefully on this thread. Ghadafi was a great orator but was disgraced and murdered. Robert Mugabe is another great orator who turned his country into a land of famine and hunger. It is sad that kids like ballabrigs are trolling NL talking children stuff. GEJ is GEJ! What Nigerians voted him to provide is not great speeches and interviews. It is good governance and so far, he is doing ok with that. He still has a long way to go but he is on track. I am glad that he really doesnt give a £"!$%^&*(()) about what some silly NLs have to say. Petty toddlers like you insulting your elders. How can you grow? SMH!

1,000,000 likes. Well said my brother. I don't care if GEJ shakes like a fish on stage. I'm only interested in good governance, and so far that humble man has delivered. That is all that matters, not "swag".

The Business of War: SOFEX


SOFEX is where the world's leading generals come to buy everything from handguns to laser-guided missile systems. It stands for "Special Operations Forces Exhibition Conference" and it's essentially a trade-show where just about anyone with enough money can buy the most powerful weapons in the world

I'm with the catholic church on this one.

pro01: I don't know what some of you junkies are smoking, but it has to be really strong. Stuuuupid patriotism is not enough to make one live in Fools' Paradise; it takes something stronger.

A country where nothing works - even the most basic institutions. The police force is a hot mess. The civil service is a den of incompetence and corruption. Infrastructure is non-existent. The darn government has no clue how much it (actually) makes from the 'rent' it collects from its crude oil, poverty, corruption, incompetence, inefficency, and a total collapse of governance at all levels is the order of the day. Acute shortage of skilled manpower in ALL professions in the country is a fact of life.

YEY. YET. YET, somehow, this same country's Army (infantry troops) miraculously happen to be among "the best in the world"? ? ? How? Due to the natural skill and strength of the average barely educated and thoroughly undisciplined aboki that joins the army (courtesy of nepotism/ 'Federal Character')? Or due to the 'advanced' training facilities/techniques of the Nigerian Military School or Nigerian Defence Academy (LOL!)? Or due to WHAT exactly? ? ?

A dysfunctional third-world country wallowing in abject incompetence and corruption would claim to have one of the world's best (infantry) armies? HOW? Worst still, some suggest that wars are not won from the air? In this age of high-calibre, automated drones? In any case, So infantry troops deploy nuclear warheads? ? ? Who are the schizophrenic fools that make these silly claims? I believe the mumus that make these claims are either members of the Nigerian Armed firces, or children of fat-bellied thieves in the Nigerian Armed forces.

Na God go punish the Nigerian Army. They should not waste time in Mali and elsewhere. Their skills are needed here at home - to "discipline bloody civilians". In that regard they are certainly the best in the world. Rubbish.

Yet the very same Army has won virtually most (if not all) of its military engagements from WW1 to the present day. Doubt that? Ask the Germans about Eastern Africa, the Italians about Northern Africa, the Japanese about the Burma (the only regiment good enough to fight alongside the famous Chindits), the Biafrans in our sad civil war, the Camerounians in Bakassi, the NPLF in Liberia, the RUF in Sierre Leone, Egbesu boys/MEND/cultists/other militant groups in the Niger-delta, and yes Boko Haram in North-Eastern Nigeria.

Now I'm a realist, and I know the military is equally plagued with the same issues we face as a nation. And you won't see me say we can take on militaries like the Egyptians and the SADF as we're yet to catch up with them technology-wise. But love it or hate, the Nigerian Armed Forces is a pretty decent and squared off military that has proven itself in the past and present, and is a force to be reckoned with in Africa.

Kingspride: If dey want to knw if Nigerian soldiers are ok,france shud join force wit mali rabels and face Nigeria soldiers alone.i can bet my life on this.d 1200 nigerian troops will finish all of dem witout any additional troop

Wow!!Dude, slow down!! I'm a patriot just like you and I love my country's military. And I also know we can kick seven-shades-of-shit out of the Malians. But the French?! Bros haba! That is a 1st class military and nuclear power!! We will get our behinds super-whooped oh!

Blyss: If there was video of American soldiers acting like this, then you better believe that this American and many more around the nation would be highly disappointed see our soldier's careless actions as seen in this video. It'll be all over the news, just as our soldiers caught hell during that Afghan incident and that Iraqi prison torture incident, in which were worst that what's seen here in this video. My comment wasn't signifying that the Nigerian soldiers were not good fighters, but rather have some areas of professionalism in which need to worked on a bit more, aka weapons handling.

Oh please zip it!! What's this babble about weapons handling? First of all, didn't you see the dancing soldiers raise their rifles up? And I'm sure you were so blind to see these "childish and unprofessional" hold their rifles with their fingers across the trigger guard (a classic example of trigger discipline).

Seriously, stop posting TRASH!

Excellent job GEJ. Keep up the good work.

It's a pity that some fools here do not appreciate their own country and it's armed forces. Go to other foreign defence forums and read the compliments showered on the Nigerian military during their deployment to Mali. Even the French had been pushing for our immediate deployment as they'll rather fight with us on their side than the unreliable Malians who will run at the first sound of gunfire. And need I remind everyone that the ECOWAS military intervention force is not lead by a Ghanian, Malian, etc, but a Nigerian Maj. General, with the air task force commanded by a Nigerian AVM?

Let me get this straight- we have about 900-1200 well trained and seasoned soldiers deployed/about to be deployed to Mali with lots of experience drawn from battles fought and won (Liberia, Sierre Leone, Bakassi, etc) and multiple counter insurgency (COIN) and counter-terror ops (Niger-Delta, Boko Haram), heavily armed with weapons produced locally (AK-47/OBJ-006 assault, GPMGs, RPG-7s, Mortars) and domestically produced DICON-Dolphine Makone Tactical vests, equipped with Nigerian Army MRAPs (Otokar Kobras) and armoured Pinzgauer 8x8 combat vehicles (tanks, APCs, AFVs and artillery pieces excluded), and supported by NAF's C-130s and G-222s for transport, Alpha jets and Mi-35 Hinds for combat air support (CAS), an additional detachment of heavily armed detachment of NAF regiment and special forces. Oh and don't forget the initial detachment of NIA, DIA, and Special Forces operators (intelligence assets) deployed months earlier. Yet some dimwit Ghanian reporter, who has an axe to grind with Nigeria (cos she may have been dumped by her Nigerian ex-boyfriend) and whose country's military is notorious for its cowardice, releases a garbage article based on the report of Malian official whose military is waay worse than the Ghanians in terms of cowardice, low morale, and unprofessionalism (they just lost half of their friggin country), and buffons/fucktards/douche bags on this forum just swallowed the whole story hook, line and sinker. You idiots need help. Mumu.

Blyss: I'll admit that they made a lot of improvement, but they still got some way to go. Look at this ignorant foolishness, would you call this being professional?


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AQISQdlRT0

I call it being childish and very unprofessional. They look like a bunch of fools.

The Maoris of New Zealand have a war dance, and the New Zealand Defence Force tend to use it quite often. The Zulus also have their own war dance, and South African Defence Force soldiers and even Police officers tend to use it sometimes. The United States Military (Army, Navy, Airforce, Marine Corps) also have a number of cadence songs they sing all the time (I'm sure you've heard "the green beret" and also the USMC's "Fired up". So, will you label these Armed Forces as unprofessional cos of these songs? If not, then why are you on the Nigerian Army's case cos of a little war dance and cadence songs aimed at boosting the morale of the troops that are currently in an ACTIVE WAR ZONE?

Dee60: The President should lead by example. The 10 or so luxury jets in the presidential fleet should be turned over to a national carrier and the president should fly first class and business class like the British Prime Minister will do. As a nation, we are as poor as bangladesh but our leaders want to live like American presidents. It wont work!

All aircrafts in the presidential fleet are owned solely by the Nigerian Air Force. They are going nowhere.

No

Wallahi, dis bros go soon turn al-majiri 4 Im house. Keep begging.

You had to beg and beg? Bros, are you the one wearing the skirt in that relationship? Dude, man up!

Now this is great news. The xpansion of this lucrative route must now be a priority of the FG and NRC. Provide additional coaches and engines to cater for the increased no of Pax and cargo. Also include additinal trips, and encourage the participation of the private sector.


That said, kudos to the FG and NRC.
