payless: May God bless them all.

And may God bless you too.

We shall not rest until the change Nigeria desires and deserves is entrenched!

Long live APC
Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Death to PDP.

Ain't no smoke without fire. Waiting to see how this pans out.

The mods should either take down this thread or repharse the topic to reflect what Buhari truely said!

The man said Only death would make him quit politics! How does that equate to sayin only death would make him stop running for president?

And the useless hoardes of protozoa on this forum, in their usual nature of not reading anything but just the title of a thread before comenting, are jumping all over the place devouring every piece of the misleading title like pirannas on a drowning mammal.

Even more appaling is that the thread made FP with the title remaining unchanged!

This is absolutely unbecoming of Seun and every other administa
tor of this site! So disapointed!!

ALISMILE: The topic of this tread is misleading. You guys should stop hatin. It wont get you anywhere.

I wonder what the Mods are doing!!!!
This is the height of irresponsibility!

So I could just come on here and type a topic stating that the president took his wife from behind and the Mods wouldn't take down such topic

Propagation of barefaced lies!! Trademark of pdp.

I'm kinda confused here. Can't find where he said this in the writeup. Or am I missing something?

Terrible as Obj was, Yaradua inclusive, the north/ south or christians/muslims factors never realy featured in our political discourse. But since the arival of Jonathan at the top, it has always been about region, religion, and ethnicity with their attendant volatile consequencies!
We've never had a presidency as devisive as Jonathan's and that is an immutable fact!

Alxmyr: The difference between APC and others is simple. When APC members are busy shouting, talking, bragging and jumping up and down like kindergartens, others are busy working underground.
See another twist from Atiku and co side.
This is the real spoiler for PDP and not the overrated, ego tripping APC

You sound like a novice. This isn't a spoiler for pdp in anyway. We all know gej nurses an inordinate ambition to return to aso rock in 2015, and if this news is anything to go by, he wld be singing kumbayaa, and popping sapele champaigne while at it. It is good news for him.

homesteady: I hope that Mr. Ajiboye will not start claiming that he was the brainbox behind the project when it comes out successful!!
Because all this Nigerian lecturers can be very wicked and dubious! Stealing their students projects and claiming it's theirs

No be only brainbox. He can also claim to be the gearbox behind the invention too.

English hard oo.

Teenage Money: Only if you knw the meaning of 'Maybe'

I think he knows the meaning of "maybe" but doesn't know that meaning of "teenage" and that's why he replied ur post.

[quote author=Longeria][/quote]Aparently, you cannot be helped. Too bad. Can you show me anywhere I spoke against the prosecution of anybody for corruption?? Just a single instance.

Longeria: Last I checked, nigeria is a democratic nation where judiciary is separate from executive. @Op, It's people like you who will come to NL and shout political persecution when Jonathan becomes that bully you want him to be. Now tell me what you want the president to do when executive charge a criminal to court and court grant him bail and adjourned indefinitely. Who granted Odili perpetual injunction against efcc from prosecution him.

You people thinks there is award for thinking through ANUS

Typical buck passin syndrome.
Away with all that judiciary indipendence crap, we all know what's going on.

How many politically exposed persons have been prosecuted let alone convicted under the curent leadership? Yet they claim their zeal to fight corruption is second only to that of united states!!
Terrible as Obj was, he did a better job of fightin corruption.

Your paymaster sets up a comittee to investigate fraud and impregnates a "virus" into thesame committee to make rubish of whatever is the outcome of their investigation. Need we remind you of such instances?? He ensures he kills cases even before they get to the doorsteps of the courts.

What are people like mrs Alison Madueke and Mohammed Adoke still doing in his cabinet despite the numerous sleaze their names have been mentioned in?

Someday, and I pray very soon, Nigeria will get an honest leader at the centre and jonathan will be called to explain his role in all of these schemes as we witness today.




God bless Nigeria.

slap1: FG can't meet demands + ASUU won't shift grounds = 2014.

I've said it before, the best thing is for progressive-minded states to withdraw their schools from ASUU.

That isn't gonna fix our comatose educational system.


* Our public schools arnt gonna be fixed as long as there isn't a law that forbids government officials and politicians from sending their wards to schools abroad and domestic private schools.

* Our hospitals arnt gonna be fixed as long as there isn't any lawthat pr
ohibits politicians and govt. officials jetting off to Germany and co to treat the slightest migraine.

* Our roads will remain in a perpertual state of disrepair as far as every governor and minister has made owning a private jet a priority.
(little wonder why the seem comitted to reforbishing the airports)

* Electricity 247 would remain a mirage as long as those Mikano generators keep pouring into the country


Hear the minister: “At present ASUU wants the government to pay N92 billion in extra allowances when resources are not there"

My questions are, where was Okonjo Iweala's voice when the Fed..:

1. Paid billions to a foreign firm to spy on her citizens.

2. Increased the culinary bill of the first family from 1bill to over 1.3bill

3. Paid trillions to phantom oil companies for importing billions of litres of products only on paper

4. Increased the presidential fleet from 3 to 7

5. Alocated over 900bill to ministry of defence when security has infact worsened

6. Paid glorified criminals billions in form of maritime and oil sector installations security contract when infact oil theft got worse and is at an all time high

7. Budgeted over 4billion to build a monument for the first lady just to grease her ego

8. Budgeted billions for needless expansion of the vice presidential quarters

9. Sit back folding their arms and watch the legislooters allocate themselves bogus salaries and allowances

10. Create all manner of official portfolios to be filled by cronies who waste no time in joining their comrades in the brazen looting of our common patrimony....

Etc.

Okonjo Iweala is a total disgrace!!
Can she honestly tell us how many PAs are under her payroll? Is the number justifyable?

Pay those lecturers their dues ASAP and stop peddling ur usual lies!!

I'm absolutely disgusted at the crop of leaders we have curently!! So fucking pathetic!

As we can see, the usual trolls would avoid this thread like a plague! I can see them viewing this board but they would never stop by.
They'd rather look for a thread that condemns Fashola for farting in public, shows Soyinka smoking cigar, or that which contains pics of sleaze on the streets of Oweri.

It's a shame how morally bankrupt most of our youths have become.

lakhadimar: What irritates me most is the way the Gej's government consistently blame opposition parties and past administrations for their own failure

Indeed it is realy appaling!

It is a shame they don't even realize admitting their own faults and taking responsibility for some of the failures as we see today, rather than the usual attitude of buck passing, would earn them more respect and credit even from hardline critics.

It is a general knowledge that accepting faults and taking blames make one appear responsible and willing to make corrections, even if that isn't the case. But this tasteless, irresponsible, and utterly despicable government wouldn't know that now would they?





I ask again, where are the subsidy thieves??

ochukoccna: Thank you Omenka for this thread
The President is busy issuing press releases against the APC because he was indirectly told that he's been a non starter so far when Akande called him a kindergarten president
This are stong words but not out of place
People are dying like chickens up north
Roads [esp federal ones] are death traps
The 'so called' economic growth is not reflecting in the life of the average citizen
Revenue is daily been lost to oil vandals
University students went on strike just as the polytechnic students resumed from their and all the president could think of was castigate the opposition for calling him [not the office he holds] names
Do you expect the opposition to say you smell like roses [even if that is the truth which currently is not?]
With all the challenges confronting Nigeria all he could do was that?
Delusion has no other name IMHO
But when one is idle even when you have tasks to do, what do you expect?
God bless Nigeria

It realy hurts me no end to see this country adrift as she curently is. We deserve far better than this, haba! What exactly is this government up to?? Do they realy have any plans to fix anything??
Nothing seems to be working at the moment. Absolutely nothing!!!

Yet day in day out, we are bombarded by press releases from Abati and co, berrating the opposition for this or that. I'm realy sick of this government.

We can't afford to continue along this trajectory and expect anything positive. Something has got to give!

Failure runs in the genes of these men!

There are some hard questions this government has yet to answer, using all manner of distractions, from boko haram, to Rivers state crises, to NGF crises, child marriage wahala, to 2015 struggle and so on and so forth, to hoodwink Nigerians.

Perhaps it is time we re-visited those issues because the govt. appears to be thinking all Nigerians have totally forgotten about them.

Now, we need to know the status of all the investigations into the fuel subsidy fraud which of course dwarfs every known fraud in the history of this country! Over 1.5trillion went missing and not a single conviction despite all the indictments! We know who authorised those payments and we know to whom the payments were made.

We were made to understand some people collected monies and didn't import a single litre of products. Others imported using vessles that have long formed breeding grounds for marine animals at the bottom of the ocean years ago. In other cases we saw that thesame vessle that was said to have brought in products berthed in another country tens of thousands of miles away from Nigeria on thesame day!!! (talk about ghost ships!). The list of abnormalities is endless!


What has happened to all the thieves Mr President?? What has happened to Ahmadu Ali and Bamanga Tukur's sons?? Or is your inability to bring them to book also the work of desperate elements in the oposition since you have a knack of attributing your every failure to the opposition?

We all come here every other day and rumble over petty issues, engaging in tribal wars, ethnic and religious bashing, while the salient issues remain unattended to. I wouldn't be suprised if this thread goes nowhere since it doesn't contain tribal or religious ingredients!

It is high time Jonathan and his crew told us what is going on! Not all of us have forgotten and we need answers now!!




God bless Nigeria.

Shameless hypocrites. If the report had said otherwise, it wouldave been one of the "transformations" or "giant strides" of the admin.

I bet the report was influenced by APC and the ADB is their affiliate.

Yeye dey realy smell.

I remember these lines: let's take some tym to bubble and shuffle. Afterall na hustle and bustle.
Evrybody wanna celebrate n nobody wanna talk abt age.
And if u wan go ask a lagos mamma say how many day she go celebrate? She go holla and holla and shout back at you 'na wetin be ur bizness?'
i fit celebrate 21 today ........ and so on and so forth.

First rap lines i eva memorised, playing that cassette in an old school radio, pausing and rewinding again and again to get every word.

Nwa Teacher: If he will contest under Lagos State govt, he will win but if it is under Imo State govt, Chally boy can't even win his village Towncryer position. That guy is worthless in Imo

He's worth more than you'd be in three life times put together.

His eccentric style aside, i'd vote him over any of the bunch of kleptomanics that populate both the upper n lower house. I've read most of his statements and can tell he's indeed very passionate about Nigeria and intelectualy very sound too!

Workers of the Aluminium Smelter Company of
Nigeria (ALSCON) and Ikot Abasi community youth
group have accused UC RUSAL, the Russian firm
currently in charge of the management of the
company, of stripping the plant of core components
with the aim of totally crippling its operations.

The workers, under the aegis of the Metal Products
Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (MPSSAN), said UC RUSAL has been dismantling and selling Stem Rods and Anodes, vital components of the plant used in the manufacture of steel ingots.

A spokesman of the workers association told
reporters in Abuja that the Russian firm, which has
failed to pay the workers’, was also cutting and
melting the Bussbar/Risers used in transmitting
electric current to the production pots for melting
aluminium and selling them as ingots. Also, 20 fairly-used company cars are said to be slated for immediate disposal.

Industry experts gave the current estimated market
value of the Bussbar/Risers, which have never been
used since the completion of the plant in 1998, at
over N1billion, while each of the about 4,200 Stem
Rods and Anodes at the plant are valued at over
$100,000.

The workers said the Russians, working through
some top Nigerian managers, including Deputy
Director (Commercial), Ata Udom; Head of Technical
and Potroom Shop, Albert Umoh and one Gabriel
Udoh, have since January this year cut and sold off
several Anode Stems, with a target to complete the
cannibalisation of the plant before the end of this
month.

“The Russians have put everything in place to siphon the remaining coke and alumina from the silos for sale. When they took over the plant in 2007, they inherited over 8,000 metric tonnes of alumina; 5,200 pieces of Anode Blocks; 5,820 pieces of cathode blocks; over 8,000 Anode Stems; over 200 tonnes of cryolite and over 170,000 tonnes of cast iron. Why they now want to sale even cast iron blocks, together with the pots, is mind boggling”, the workers said.

A spokesperson for UC RUSAL denied the allegation.
Tatyana Smirnova, the director, Communication/
Media, described the allegation as “misleading and
does not correspond to reality.”
“Presently ALSCON is cleaning its territory from
unrealizable assets, obsolete and not suitable for use equipment, which cannot be utilized for production of aluminum,” she said.

“In addition, I would like to emphasize that the
acquired equipment is the property of RUSAL and
makes a part of modernization program that was
implemented from 2007 till 2012. RUSAL has put
around $US159.4 million of its own investments into the plant,” she added

But the workers said they were compelled to bring
the matter to public knowledge after reports to
government representatives on the Board of
ALSCON, including the Director General, Bureau of
Public Enterprises (BPE), Benjamin Dikki, and the
Deputy Director (Steel) in the privatization agency,
Mohammed Dikko, about the development at the
plant failed to yield any official reaction.

“It is clear UC RUSAL is totally determined to
cannibalise the plant and render it comatose so that
whoever takes over would not be able to put it to
productive use again,” the workers said. “We are
concerned, because ALSCON is not only our
inheritance, but also the place we earn our living.
The Federal Government must do all within its powers to halt this brazen sabotage of the nation’s economy.”

Following reports of the asset-stripping of the plant
by UC RUSAL, community youth under the platform
of ‘Mboho Ikot Abasi’ wrote to the Managing Director of ALSCON, Stanislav Kruglyashav, demanding to meet with him to express their concern, and request for opportunity to tour the facility to verify the allegations. But the request was turned down.

During the meeting, it was gathered that UC RUSAL
officials had said the dismantling and disposal of the Stem Rods, Anodes and Bussbar/Riser was to raise some funds to settle pressing financial issues, as the Russian government had since stopped sending subventions to RUSAL.

Now, this is the kind of treatment a country gets from foreigners when her leader declears to the public that he doesn't "give a damn"!!!

Can a Nigerian try anything close to this in Russia Yet they say we are making giant strides diplomatically.

Round up those white fvcks and charge them with treason asap!! Give them the Mugabe treatment I say!

First off, they say this man's got a PhD, and I ask, who wrote his thesis for him? He seems to have such terrible diction!! If he isn't making unpardonable gramatical blunders, he is sounding like a primary 5er!

Secondly, he should learn to take responsibility for some of the problems we are facing! Haba!! Must you attribute everything to "selfish elements or elites" or "desperate politicians"?

So disgusting when pple act this way. Saying this or that is as a result of govt's oversight or failure, sometimes, even score you more political points than consistently dwelling in denial. Admiting ur faults make you appear responsible even if you are not.

Get over yourself mr president!

This man should just zip it!! I wonder why these barrelheads think all Nigerians are fools... Set them up ni, encourage them down ko. If they were being "set up", there wouldn't be more than a thousand policemen left in the country.

The said officer was just too unfortunate and is being used as a scapegoat.

Ordinary commuters experiance incidences like this every other day on interstates!

Nowadays they even receive the monies and give back change if the denomination if more than 50bucks.

What more can one say When the pple who ought to be the most grateful for a former embezler doin time in a prison rather request that UK govt frees him, what more do you expect from a sitting govt in such a state

They no doubt are encouraged to carry out more blatant and atrocious looting since the people seem to have been given the nod from their people!

Ride on Uduagan, you doing such a marvelous job!!

kabba7: I dont think in all honesty that Jonathan will attempt that stew..peed gamble of negotiating the release of Ibori the thief while the neck lace of a looter is hanging on his own neck too.
The unfortunate truth is that those who organise the football match and ibori has the same mentality of looters.

He might not, not because he is too principled, but because they arnt allies.

What could be worse than the Alams pardon

A man of sterling qualities. Too bad he lived in a society that would rather recognize and celebrate vice that virtues.

You are surely missed by sane Nigerians.


PS. He kinda looks like Desmond Tutu.
