obowunmi: @IdokoJimmy - can you read to understand this article and not just post something from a website?? Thx.
What's the point of it? The argument here is not whether or not Nigeria's GDP is growing or whatever else. The UN has a criteria for claiming why Jonathan's policies are failing. Unemployment and extreme poverty are amongst these reasons.
What is in it for the "common man"? How does a growing GDP translate into wealth or growth, or merely a job for the common man?

Leave him & his ilk including government officials who keep claiming bogus&posting bulls*t figures which doesn't translate into better leaving standards for the majority of the populace
Poverty deepening whilst GDP is growing means something is broken
Will the government [and their publicists] be honest enough to admit& fix it, I doubt
Nigeria is going nowhere
You need look no further than the educational sector to confirm this
All the BRICS nations{emerging economies] have educational institutions in the top 400-700 universities
Even the CIVETS& 7percent club nations have schools in there too
Nigeria is not in the top thousand but comfortable like a bedbug somewhere in 4000& something
Are our students not enriching Ghanian universities?
Do you think America, Japan and EU nations [Chinese na to steal & copy, no originality] who drive innovation get the ideas from drinking beer and sipping pepper-soup?
Except we have the political will to tackle corruption and rebuild our archaic educational model, we ain't going nowhere
BRINCS ko,7percent ni, Shior!

Someone made a request to you in private
You go to the mountain top to reply him
Classic case of deluded self importance& a pointer to the shallowness of a mind who thinks he's great

Everyday,it becomes more apparent that Hitler gas-chambered the wrong set of people for their religious beliefs

UYCO: Ogboru not destined to rule Delta State and moreover it is the turn of Delta north to rule after the Comrade Governor

Nigerians&their love for primordial ethnic politics not forgetting the Nigerian 'god'
Its all about zoning&not the ability of the aspirant
How can he be 'destined' when the PDP rigs with the apparatus of state&goes to church for a thanksgiving service& 'god's' blessing afterward?

So when will the emir of kano be deposed& the obi of kano be installed?
Will Al-Jazeera,CNN&Channels stream it live?
Somebody please tell Mallam Sanusi to stop day dreaming about become the next Emir as the sons of Okonkwo are coming to claim their father's throne
And Nollywood had better document it for posterity with titles like
Kano:The Ibo town populated by Hausa parasites&Yoruba leeches,
Kano:Ibo's new colony,
Kano....

Just how silly can our president get?
If 'ordinary' people i.e. masses were not involved,is it savvy people who flooded Ojota for food&a musical concert?
All the 'sponsors' did was harvest public anger&redirect @ Aso rock
Were SW protesters 'sponsored' to attack SW senators in Ibadan?
Was the protest 'sponsored' in 4 geo-political zones?
Were SS&SE not 'sponsored' to sit @ home?
For him to speak 8/9 months after indicates he's still bleeding from it
Let him beware cos blood draws in sharks

What was the question again?

so the chinese are this nationalistic?
but looking at the scope of destruction,is the chinese government not covertly supporting them?
imagine chinese workers at panasonic sabotaging production?
now that beats me hollow seeing the 2 nations ain't at war yet,the bad blood of previous conflicts notwithstanding.
or is it about the oil deposits the said island contains

seunfly: Auwal though am not a fan of Gej, if you are judging this man in 2years, can you please point at ten thing that all northern president that has rule Nigeria for over 40years have achived, even common education they can't give thier peaple letalone whole Nigeria. Maybe that is why one of them said we have money but we don't know how to spend it. While other leader in other nations were building roads, hospitals, industries, agriculural developments, intelectual developments etc. my friend please lets forgets about sentiments and put our heads together to make Nigeria a great nation.

And since when did benchmarking against incompetence[those who in your own eyes failed]become the standard

If he [&his ilk i.e. fuel cabal peeps] is actually prosecuted and made to face the music,I'd begin to see Ebele in a different light but going by what has happened over the past 2 years , na wash
Just see what others are saying

OYINBOGOJU: Steps

6. Case thrown out for lack of evidence

7. Get National Honor from the Cabal

8. launch his own Campaign organization

9. Lose the gubernatorial election

10. Get compensated with the post of Adviser to the President

ONLY IN PDP LED GOVERNMENT

maclatunji: Film trick!

kpozite: It is either political or the guy became greedy with the loot so they decided to expose him. Whoever thinks this is justice and that there is more to come should wake up from slumber. In 9ja you are not a criminal until you fallout with the authority whatever your activities.

oyb: abegi!

is this not the same iheancho that was suspended

this is punishment for his anti party activities in supporting rochas , don't think for one moment this is about pursuit of justice

lehsi: I am so sure this is going to court.....this people are registered with the company....got the approval of the company...paid the company for the hall...and den dis....i am presently asked questions and a company receipt upon meeting completion was sent to me....i am asking questions too....this is far serious....why would stone run a scam at zero cost and in the company's head office....it doesn't make sense....the md took it all wrong not knowing that he's staffs approved these persons

This is the said scam artist posting this yesterday, I thought he was said to have been 'arrested' by 9ja's men in black
OP, are you telling us all there is to this 'yarn' of yours ,FLP and lehsi
And also OP, his user name is lehsi not leshi, stop defaming another user

So the new iPhony5/Phony5 is out?

stagger: Why is Apple just churning out phones every year?

Their banksters would be in a better position to answer your question.

@ topic ,
friggin' iPhony !!!!

the.game:
Nollywood is even more clueless than GEJ, till they(producers, actors) derive passion in what they are doing and not just the money, Nollywood would remain an EPIC FAIL

Nollywood is in this for the money
Believe that is simple to understand
Yoruba and Hausa movies thrive because they have a ready marketable audience who speak the languages
I've never sat to watch movies in languages I don't speak or understand [even sub titled ones]
How many actors speak Ijaw?
Or do they want to sell the movies by subtitling them?
Wish dem the best though

Sam Milla: I guess Man U will apply for their next match to be cancelled.

Sam Milla: Why is it so difficult for Arsenal fans -Naija base- to understand that gunners are a breeding team for big teams. Each time someone leaves, they cry like babies being denied b.reast milk. Grow up guys. Anyone can get injured. Rooney is on the table right now.
Btw, they still have welbeck, chicarito and others. I think they have more problems in central defence than attack.

No qualms about him leaving
Only he was swooning to Fergie& Manure like a bit#h in heat
And to think he was the captain
Everyone knows player loyalty is dead in today's football world yet at least let your moves be behind the scene
Visualize a cheating husband yanshing on his matrimonial bed& wondering why his *sweet loving* wife throws caution to the wind and pursues him with a 9mm glock whilst the children look on
Wish RVP the best though even if his holiday season seems to have started so early at his new employers

mekussays: kia bad belle full naija oooo. This is part of being a celebrity. u flaunt what you have. So many celebs have taken pics with jewellery and its not suppose to generate hate from people. This guy is only 20 and una dey expect am to act like una papa. In summary WE NAIJAINS GET BETTER PROBLEM.

E flaunt hin own at a younger age than all those American entertainers na

Emmy9ite: If it is lil wayne now, everybody will be shoutinq classic! Classic! Our own boy flaunts his and everybody gets angry because they cant afford an aboki necklace. Hate on! Hate on! That will only make him popular

Let Nlander free the boy abeg
While I dont do Davido, he's aljavascript:void(0);ways been known to show off
So kini big deal in his bling flossing
Floss yours or look away

So too was OBJ 'born again' whilst in detention under Abacha
We are all living witnesses to how he turned out
How come this 'spirit' he newly acquired did not encourage him to 'confess' where the loot he stashed away which wasn't traced is located?
Will 9ja's political class now be the new members of his church?
Visualize Tinubu, IBB, Atiku, Ebele, Otedollar, Diezani, Anenih etal [9ja's thieving elite] all under 1 roof listening to a 'sermon'
Makes it easier to to empty an F15 fighter jet cargo upon them though
But face it, on this planet, there's no justice, be not deluded

Nigeria is tagged with countries that have low human development according to this 2010 UNDP report
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_African_countries_by_Human_Development_Index
Was searching for more recent data to back my assertion that Nigeria is behind many an African country only for that goblin called PHCN to strike
Face it
Naija poor only that the average Nigerian is street smart, very street smart
Something which make oyinbos shiver

Olisa74: Nigerians are not wallowing in poverty. Nigerians just have that misconception. Yes there are plenty of poor Nigerians, but there are equally a lot of Nigerians doing well. To understand this you have to travel to several other poor African countries. How accurate are the stats that claim 70% of the population lives on 2 dollars a day? That, I totally disagree with.

That's why my post said if the stats are to be believed yet know that it is no misconception Nigerians& many of them at that are poor,quite poor stats or not
Go the inner cities&towns away from major urban slums to confirm this
And do know that Nigeria has fallen behind on most human indexes using Africa as a benchmark

Cut Buhari some slack
If you don't like him,don't vote him
Simples
Though it is true he lacks political tact
Yet what he said is correct, no be only SS votes go bring in the next president
You need to corner 4 geo-political zones for that
What is wrong in demanding for free and fair elections recalling the scientific rigging in the SS&SE during the 2011 presidential election?

The country's central bank throws billions of dollars into propping up the naira at artificially high rates, hurting millions of local exporters and encouraging Nigeria's shopping exodus.

And to think that Sanusi sees nothing wrong nor make a move to stop this puerile currency policy

Olisa74: Since this is the case, why do many Nigerians come on to Nairaland complaining about thieving politicians and economic woes? There must be something right happening in Nigeria.

How many middle class Nigerians exist?
Because you read a report about how some Nigerians spend in the UK [include those who go there to study] doesn't mean majority of the people are not wallowing in poverty
If the stats are right, I think its 70% of the population live on about 2 dollars daily

nice thread here
Mod should be posting this kind of threads on the front page though

realsammie: now sky sport will not have any news again except andy andy andy....

Trust British press to go over hyping the poor chap
Recall a certain David Beckham na!

Great one Andy
Couldn't stay up during the midnight hours to watch you bask in your finest hour yet

8“When you are invited by anyone to a wedding feast, do not sit down in the best place, lest one more honorable than you be invited by him;
9 and he who invited you and him come and say to you, ‘Give place to this man,’ and then you begin with shame to take the lowest place.
10 But when you are invited, go and sit down in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes he may say to you, ‘Friend, go up higher.’ Then you will have glory in the presence of those who sit at the table with you.
11[size=14pt]For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”[/size]-Book of Luke:Chapter14

Beautifully written

They therefore endorsed Jonathan to complete his eight years tenure when they echoed ‘yes’ to a call by Chief Edwin Kiagbodo Clark if they wanted Jonathan in 2015.

Ogogoro Ilusions
Pray when did been sworn in for a 4 year tenure translate to an 8 year one whether you perform in office or not

@post,
the voice of Jacob Edwin clark
the hand of Esau Ebele jonathan

You do not need an Obasanjo to tell you the new currency policy [5k note and 10,20,50 naira coins] will kill production
Ebele lacks intelligence and comportment so he laps up any harebrained economic ideas thrown at him e.g. fuel subsidy removal, non viability of pubilc owned refineries
But there's something called common sense
Common sense dictates you retrace your steps when ordinary people openly voice dissent and disapproval without been stirred up by your 'enemies', 'failed politicians' propaganda and the press
But as it is said, he whom the gods want to destroy, they first make mad
No one needs to tell you Ebele has long been mad to reason & superior viewpoints

The clearest confirmation yet by the American elite establishment that Obama WILL RETURN as president
