OP provide a link and have people take the story more seriously, could even hit the FP.

I have no doubt tompolo is a conduit for Jonathan!

Hope they dont go out of line along the way and in the end start soliciting amnesty and monthly stipends for sitting at home.

googlepikin: and what can Microsoft do for lagos state. na today we dey see signing of paper? [size=50pt]RUBBISH[/size]

Still better than ringing some useless bell!

Calling the OP a fool would be an insult to Egbon Musiwa!

After reading the first 15 lines I didn't bother going any further. Abati's case is beyond redemption!!
What observatory was he when he delivered a scathing criticism to mrs Jonathan for over stepping her bounds trying to dictate to a state governor how he should govern his state

Power indeed corrupts.

solomon111: A waste of money for a crumbling economy.

They would do anything to secure the lives of their citizens even though their's reason to believe such technology could also be deployed for the wrong reasons. The Nigerian govt budgeted over 900billion for defence this year. What has been the impact of that On what moral grounds do you stand in querying this idea

With the sheer numbers of oddities we wake up to see or hear about daily, need anyone doubt this stats?

Looks like Ross when he was still scrappin a livin from retailing yayo.

Toktee: Waiting to hear from abati and 40 lapdogs to come and defend this.

You'd wait till mushrooms grow on your phone!!
They avoid threads like this just as they would a handshake from a mad man.

The rate of unemployment among Nigerians
worsened after President Goodluck Jonathan
assumed office, a latest report by the federal
government has indicated.

The report, the 2011 Performance Monitoring Report on Government’s Ministries, Departments and Agencies, was announced by the National Planning Commission on Thursday in Abuja.

The report indicated that the unemployment rate in
Nigeria in 2010 was 21.1 per cent, a figure that
increased to 23.9 per cent in 2011.
“In 2011, Nigeria’s unemployment rose to 23.9 per
cent compared with 21.1 per cent in 2010,” the News Agency of Nigeria quotes the report as stating. The report referenced its facts from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS).

Mr. Jonathan assumed office as Nigeria’s substantive president on May 6, 2010, a day after the death of his predecessor and former boss, Umaru Yar’Adua. He continued as president in 2011 after he won the presidential election; and was sworn in for a fresh four-year term on May 29, 2011.

The National Planning Commission report confirms
the fears by Nigerians that unemployment has been
on the rise in the country with unofficial estimates
putting it at above 30 per cent. It is also one of many other reports by national, regional, and global bodies indicating that the efforts being put in place by the Jonathan administration may not be yielding the required results.

In June, the World Bank released a report, Nigeria
Economic Report, stating that unemployment rate
worsened from “12% of the working population in
2006 to 24% in 2011.”

“Preliminary indications are that this upward trend
continued in 2012,” the World Bank stated. More report details The Population Commission report also stated that 51.18 million Nigerians were employed in the economy in 2011.

The report stated that figures from the NBS clearly
illustrated the deep challenges in Nigeria’s labour
market. “The NBS estimates that Nigeria’s population grew by 3.2 per cent in 2011 from 159.3 million people in 2010 to 164.4 million in 2011, reflecting rapid population growth.

“Unemployment was higher in rural areas at 25.6 per cent than in urban areas, where it was 17 per cent on average,’’ the report added.
The report urged that efforts to create an
environment conducive for job creation must be
redoubled.

It stated that the Federal Ministry of Labour and
Productivity reported resolving 279 of the 328 labour complaints it received in 2011. This represent 85 per cent rate of resolution of complaints.

It stated further that the number of complaints
received increased compared with 263 recorded in
2010, adding that the resolution rate of 85 per cent
improved from 51 per cent in 2010.

“The Federal Ministry of Labour and Productivity also reported a decreased in the percentage of man hours lost to strikes in 2011; and an increase in the number of persons trained and equipped under skills acquisition programmes to establish their own
trade,’’ the report said. It stated that the number of jobs created in 2011 was reported as 209,239 by the Ministry of Labour and
Productivity.

So much for FRESH AIR!!

15,000!!!
Lol!!!

I can imagine the make up of the decampees.
Lol.

The way one treats his wife in the presence of his friends is dsame way his friends wld treat her when he's not around. These folks are aware of our lynch mentality and jst more or less did to those guys what we might have done to them had they been caught. And they fear no diplomatic backlash cos our govt has demonstrated time and again they dont give a damn abt us!

The Jagaban schooling the kindergarten in the art of governance yet again. Tomao, just to demonstrate he's learnt another lesson from his teacher, he'd gather his herd of clueless coworkers and head down to the hospital to visit. Remember the Bornu saga! Hehe.

Does a single man "secede" from a country Abeg edit this yeye title.

@ post: every discerning mind knows it is the president's plan to bring this country to ruins if he sees 2015 is no longer feasible. But along with his uncanny plots, he shall fall, and by God's grace take Clerk and Dokubo along with him.

Dont mean to be a wet blanket, but is this an ''invention''?

Just back from church and don't want to taint the anointing which I presently carry, so I'd let this one slide and reserve my comment.

[quote author=slim fit ]Nairaland is becoming boring to be honest it's lossing interesting stories.[/quote]First, you meant to say "lacking" and not "lossing".
Secondly, why don't you post interesting stories if you need some?

I feel hugely disapointed by what most posters are saying here. Their coments reek of undue extreme prejudice. Iran under Rouhani is diferent than Iran under Ahmedinajad.

Rouhani puts his life on the line just like the former Egyptian president Anwar Sa'adat (God rest his soul) for towing the path he does with the West. Hell, he even recognizes the Holocaust, accepts the imperatives of a Two State Solution to Israeli Palestinian palaver, and is willing to negotiate on the country's nuclear infrastructure!! What more does the world want

And as for the greatest war monger of all time, Natanyahu, who's chosen iran as his prefered bogeyman, it's abt time he started seeing things in a different light and show some respect to other nations. He has a knack for shooting down every peaceful means of resolving conflicts, approving construction of houses in occupied teritories just days after saying israel wants to 'talk'! Now if that isnt hypocrisy and sabotage i dont know what else is. All these he does, simply because Israel has and would always have United States suport no matter what (talk abt a spoilt cocky kid).

I urge us all to recognize the change of policy and diplomacy coming from Tehran cos that would give them the impetus to do more and perhaps nudge their allies in thesame direction. Whether or not what is coming out of Tehran is mere ''charm offensive'' (as Natanyahu puts it) remains to be established.

And what if she is

Gbawe: This massive fleet is then maintained at the cost of N18 billion per year while the Police force is allocated N11 billion to equip its officers !!!

Oh Lord!!! If this isn't treason, I don't know what is!!!

bloggernaija: These guys like the politicians are a bunch of jokers .
Lazy ,unthinking typical Nigerian .
In that organisation ,is there nobody there to do the maths that Nigeria cannot afford that much money ,even if the country was not corrupt?
That is about $7 billion in a country where over 50% are very very poor.

Don't be deceived young man, Nigeria has that kind of money. Think about it, Jonathan with his accomplices stole over a trillion naira in the name of subsidy to execute his 2011 presidential ambition.
Also, last year, defense budget was over a trillion!!
While at it, throw in the presidential air fleet (and Jonathan's knack for sending the country's planes to go convey foreigners from their country down here to attend useless meetings)

Now, why is it so difficult to spend same or a good fraction of the agreed amount on education??
The answer is very simple : because the children of the thieves who run this country have nothing to do with it's education system whatsoever.

And the big question indeed, just as Fagae put it, is "I want to ask one basic question: Is it political to
ask government to be responsible enough to implement an agreement she willingly entered into?."

In saner climes, things like this is capable of bringing a govt down to its knees, but here you see the clown carrying on with his stupid hat and stupid smile like there's something funny about the country's deplorable condition.

Truckpusher: Gullible self hating Nigerians will swallow this lies hook,line and sinker.

I hope you guys watched the Aljazeerah documentary on how America's old people is part of a big business for the Govt. and individuals alike whilst receiving little or no care at all coupled with being physically abused by the caregivers themselves

go and watch : ELDERLY INCORPORATED


I'll prefer to live in my hometown surrounded by familiar faces(family members) in my old age and eat whatever they can afford to feed me with than to be shipped to one elderly home all in the name of getting good care on which would be paid from my pension.Even the care isn't a guarantee

Haba naw, stop this. Is our situation not worse than theirs?

Nigerians and their pathetic mentality. They prefer to remain oblivious of their problem instead of identifying and solving them.

To any sane mind, the report should represent a call to duty. Patriotism is bourne out of the premium govt places on the life of each and every citizen of the country. There are countries out there that could go to war just for the sake of one ordinary citizen. Such an ordinary citizen in turn would be willing to lay down his life for his country. The case of the last prisoner exchange between Israel and Palestine quickly comes to mind. One Israeli exchanged for over a thousand Palestinians!!

In our case, the govt (state and federal alike) totally abdicates her responsibility choosing rather to foster division, enmity, prejudice, and extreme mistrust amongst us just to carve an area of extreme control for themselves.

Rather than attack the message as propaganda, we should encourage the government to find solutions to the issues raised therein.

jmoore: The children take care of their parents in Nigeria unlike in those foreign countries where they are sent to old people's home.

Children should take care of their parents!!
Rubbish report!!

And how many "children" have been able to take care of themselves in Nigeria, let alone their parents

Did you even think about how pension is administered in this country before spewing the rubbish you just typed??

Rubbish poster!!

Jonathan would burn this country to the ground if he were to rule over its ashes.

I wonder what these PDP tauts realy want. Time after time they gather in droves online chanting "opposition bigwigs sponsor boko haram". And their reason, wait for it: they have never condemned their activity!!!
I imagine even the most warped minds wouldn't imagine such logic, but these guys do!

Now I ask, has condemnation of barbarism ever solved any of it??
Is it the responsibility of the opposition to advice a sitting govt as to how the country should be run??

And now a statement has been issued which unequivocally condemns the sect's activities, while offering a way out of the apparent stalemate (the SOE obviously has failed). Yet these faceless bigoted cretins still churn out gibberish and vile remarks, attacking the leaders of the opposition instead of taking notes to relay same to their empty headed drunken master!

You guys should go tell useless leader to sit up and do what Nigerians put him up there to do, and if he knows opposition leaders sponsor the sect let him get them arrested pronto and put to summary execution! And he should wipe that silly smirk off his face when talking about Boko Haram cos aint nothing funny about tens of brothers and sisters that die daily in the hands of those demons due to his crass incompetence!!

barcanista: Dialogue? No Way


Its bullet for bullet

No Dialogue
No Amnesty
In GEJ We Trust

Mumu. Even the "GEJ we Trust" had alrdy constituted a committee to dialogue with the sect over six mnths ago!!

herbdull: Boko haram is a PDP affair... Late A. O. Azazi
http://www.channelstv.com/home/2012/04/27/azazi-blames-boko-haram-attacks-on-pdp/

Why waste your time digging up facts for these barrel heads? That is the kind of barefaced lies PDP and their agents are known for. Need we even mention that all the politicians that have been found to have links to the sect are card carrying members of PDP, eg senator Ndume, VP Sambo, etc.
Yet these roaches would come online turning truth on its head every now and then.

991: i thought they said PDP is boko haram, are they now asking PDP to accept dialogue?
lol!!! but their leader buhari said that JTF fighting boko haram is a war against the north?
anyway, make i no carry vex spoil my independence celebration. ............God bless Nigeria
#madam give me one more bottle....

Can u show us where Buhari said this
Some of you guys are so disgusting.
