dis end time pastor nor sabi say dem nor dey use ASDA 'bag for life' to package otumokpor..

hang on a minute.
all the while bankole was in efcc's custody are they telling us that they couldn't build a credible case??

FESTUS KEYAMO pls save us your lame responses. we are tired of your silly cat and mouse games.

i'm not surprised by the judge's decision at all. NO FACT + NO EVIDENCE =  NO CASE. . . simples

oh by the way, the efcc case workers assigned to the investigation should refund their salaries for the period and xmas bonuses too.
they should also be fired for gross incompetence.

ibb is his own worst enemy.

he has jumped the gun to pick a running mate. showing that he still has dictatorship problems.

he's better off forming a new nation in his backyard and being president there.

pssst. . . ibb they are scamming you.

sufiakwa. another failed agency.
Goodluck! over to you. they must be banned.

yuck!

Ahmed Sani Yerima, 49, told the BBC that his fourth wife was not 13, but would not say how old she was.
He denied breaking the law but said he would not respect any law that contradicted his religious beliefs.

FALSE ECONOMY!!!

this is what you get when the states are on the dole.
money is spent to release the money from the federal government and more is spent trying to chase shadows when it disappears.

@OP

misleading title.

violent:

And why would i want to deliver Ibori for 1m naira when Ibori can offer me 20 million without batting an eye

that is the point. the day ibori can no longer afford N20m, they know what to do - bountyhunting 101.

onovo should stop using state money to act action movie for us.
when he is ready to catch this ibori guy, he should place a N1m (only) bounty on ibori's head and see prompt results.

bibiking1:

is it James Onanefe Ibori or James Ibori that is on the run?

it is not the same james onafefe ibori (aka odidigboribo of africa) that we are talking about.

@topic
in 1999 there was a presidential debate. olu falae v obj. but obj was conspicuously absent on the day. watched it live on nta. only for obj to organise his personal debate later on (obj v 'ghost')
i believe in 2003 there was a presidential debate, with chris okotie vibrating on the same wavelength as patrick obiahagbon.

ibb!! your press statement did not answer the question of 'youth not being educated enough'. now just step aside. we don't want to hear from you ever again.

i've been trying to rationalise this whole ibb saga. and behold i had an eureka moment.
i believe there are some 'folks' telling ibb that despite the fact that hell will have to freeze over twice before he can be elected, it was still possible. afterall obj was excavated from the dungeon to become president. but you'd expect ibb to know better, right? so this is my 2cents. IBB IS ABOUT TO BE SCAMMED. 419 sycophants on the rampage.


watch this space.

where are the ibb spin doctors?
we need a rationale for this major gaff (if not the goof of the decade).

Arkison:

I hope Mr Joe is not dipping his hands in the Till, while roaming around the world telling people how good he is. Did he consult Mr Abdussalam Abubakar on how to empty the the Till in a year.

timeframe Jan-Dec 2009. doubt if you could pin it on him.
may possibly be why the cabal intent on holding onto power wouldn't let us be. they wouldn't even spare the nation N1.47b. using an incapacitated yar'adua as front, everything must go.

good development.

Abagworo:

isn't it too early?

Saw this in the news this morning.

Has anyone seen it?

It was reported to be said by

Who could it be?

SHALOM

it'll rain a couple of times before election day. (spot the difference)

bisiaet:

I dont even know why this man was given audience in the first place. Look at him(IBB) talking how old was him when he became president and beside when he became what was his impact to Nigeria as a whole all the demons that demonised our country today he was the forefather, to be honest I dont like wasting my time much on IBB issue because he is a complete pain in the backside.

this is the exactly what i've been asking.

look at his face? paedo

@kosovo.

still waiting.

londoner:

@Ojimba, fairer is not automatically the same as credible. We certainly did not see much violence at all, but that may be a step in the right direction rather than evidence that we have achieved the objective of free and fair elections. Votes must count, that is what democracy is supposed to strive for.

me and you, we are talking same thing here {sic}
he's promised to deliver credible elections. it's a process, let's battle that out when the snail-pace senators recommend the uwais reports. then we'll have set rules and regulations to abide by. for now GJ has got inec on their toes. deliver or get the boot, hence the improvement (maybe)

mobuch:

Concerning the elections in Anambra state, a state where i come from, I have it on good authority that my home town was disenfranchised, so where in lies the free and fair election that Jonathan is talking about?

@mobuch.
there is something called 'relative'. it is also on good authority that the mass media have said the anambra elections were fairer than those of 2007. this is what GJ referred to as one of his experiments.

londoner:

@Beaf, are you not aware that the setting up of the electoral reform committee headed by Uwais, was as a result of Yaradua saying publicly that the system which brought him to power was faulty? I thought most Nigerians knew that.


Many Nigerians have a way of looking at things as either completely black and White or "for and against". If you look at the essence of what I wrote, I did not deny that the OP's observation was indeed correct, but that its not a priority right now. Also, it is very telling that you can hear the acting president clearly say that the last three elections were CREDIBLE, does that not set alarm bells ringing for you about his perception of electoral reform and how he may be willing to continue to dine with the devil?
As far as the interview, it is a sad reflection on the low standard of education in Nigeria when a PHD holder says "aks" instead of ask, pronounces a "d" whether there should be a "th" says "im" instead of him, says "Bazic" instead of basic etc. These things are minor now, but nonetheless should be noted. I hope he improves in the future because we need to be presented in the best possible light in the eyes of the world. Also its about time Nigerians raise the bar and stop accepting mediocrity as the norm.

The lady interviewing is not an acting president, but she  had total command of the interview and also had a more confident demeanour through her body language. Also Nigerians generally talk to fast or mumble.

1. the senators confirmed they had uwais report from yar'adua but they decided to sit on it for over a year, GJ set the ball rolling. i don't think he's taking the full credit for it.

2. the past 3 elections he talked about were the ones conducted just this year (anambra and l.g. elections inclusive). the feelers from the papers and media are that they were an improvement over the ones of 2007.

3. ok he has an accent. so what? have you tried educating a foreigner on how to pronounce stuff in your dialect? i'm sure you have.

4. amanpour is a great reporter and interviewer, you don't expect a doc. in zoology to have the same demeanour and swagger. let's hope he improves. but not too long ago, one atiku abubakar (i'm sure you know him) when he was campaigning to be president in 2007 was interviewed by the bbc and he only gave one word answers and maybe two sentences for the duration of that interview.

mobuch:

@ojimbo iv.

this is a link to yara dua's speech


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_zNhs0bNuk

@mobuch.
whenever you are ready.

Yaradua picks his words he is a better public speaker than Jonathan, most English or Americans would easily understand Yaradua, that aside the Hausa accent is like the French accent sexy when speaking the English language. Jonathan can learn, it is not too late he needs to be tutored on how to pick his words and stress the points clearly and concisely.

@knowall

please can you provide a link to any public speech/lecture or interview yar'adua has given that makes you say this?

mobuch:

@beaf

Young man, you seem to be talking absolutely out of point,you are bringing in the western countries where their lingua franca is not English, man, that is off the point.   English is our mother tongue and official language, therefore Jonathan should be prepared to use it effectively well.


Secondly, where you present at the discussion between Obama and Jonathan?

You where not there, so You have no idea of the impression Obama has about him as a result of his poor English usage.

So stop being a praise singer, and criticize when it is absolutely necessary.okay!

@mobuch.

nobody is above mistake. even you (very glaring infact)

you say you give yar'adua grade A abi?
now tell us, how many extensive interviews did he do while he was OK?
the ones we've managed to see were well scripted (7pt agenda for example, which was nocked with grammatical errors).

so i don't see what you are getting at.

justice buba again??!!! what the heck.

@kosovo.
thanks for painstakingly 'compiling' these quotes.
but before i address them, can you provide perhaps links (or maybe pointers) to these 'speeches, talks, quotes, others' because we need to know the context in which they were said. thanks.
