@ topic: I realy don't give a squirel fart what happens between the president and tha govnor. They both constitute nuisance to the country.

PapaBrowne: Very unintelligent outlook on life!!
Let me ask you a few questions and perhaps you will understand my perception on life.

What is your contribution to you own sphere of influence.
Lets start with Nairaland, what have you done to improve a bad situation you met?? Some people use this place as a meduim to pass knowledge to others. What have you done in your oiwn sphere of influence.

Jonathan met power at 2000 MW. Thats what we've had since 1979. He has taken it up to 4500MW in just 2 years. He has privatized the sector and invested heavily in the completion of the NIPPs. If you think power supply is a one day job, then try building a house in one day and see the results. On the other hand, it might just be that you are an advocate of premature delivery. Go ask you elders what happens when a child is born before 9months of pregnancy.

2000 MW since 1979!!!! Chai!! Bros we dey hail oo.

byrron: Nigerians only appreciates people when they are dead.
The same Nigerians claiming to love him now didn't bother to vote for him while he was alive and wanted their votes so as to change things rather we voted in our usual corrupt leaders only to cry later.

You are absolutely right. Even today, we have a few characters carved in Gani's image. Tunde Bakere and Femi Falana come to mind but instead of appreciating their efforts on fighting the promoters of that evil behomoth called PDP, we rather insult and castigate them asking them to mind their bizness. Tomorow when they are gone we'd see all manner of emotional tributes and encomiums in their respect.

Nigerians indeed pull down anything that seeks to uplift them. We are our own nemesis.

After the appointments, he should remember to give them laptops too. Veeery important!

I don't read anything Abati writes.

I'd be more inclined to believe if Lai Moh'd told me he saw an ostrich fly across the atlantic ocean than believe today is monday if Abati told me so.

That man has not a single fibre of cradubility left in him especially after the First Lady's health fiasco. He is a serial liar!

I hope this gets to Fashola. I heard he's a good listener.

I feel the pain of the OP. It can realy be depressing living under such conditions. But even more sadly, this is what a great majority of Nigerians across the country face due to the ineptitude and redundancy of the federal govt.

God bless Nigeria.

This president makes me sick to my stomach!
One atrocious goof after the other.
Sometimes I just crave a military takeover.

If you are inteligent, chances are you are educated and know how to speak good english. But good spoken english doesn't necesarily mean one is inteligent and educated.
In my opinion, one's ability to communicate in good english largely depends on the environment in which one grew up. It influences one's diction and vocabulary even more than the education they acquire.

noblezone: I have read your post again. Perhaps, are you suggesting that Jonathan is more of a flip flop than a dictator?
I will disagree on with you on the flip -flop theory.
It takes a great man to listen to opinion especially from the led.



1. I will like to know what exactly is wrong with honoring Abiloa by changing UniLag to his name since you called it shiit.
2. You mean that the President should have called the University authority and beg them to accept the change of name? or to ask them whether they will accept the change? You will tell me whether the Unilag authority consults the students before they increease school fees or fix exam date. Honestly the easiest profession on the earth is that of a critic.
Carry on.
3. Let us assume that the change was a mistake,a dictator will stick to his guns even if he has made a mistake.

Omoh, ur case serious gan! U can't be helped.

Juan65: But why is Buhari so desperate to return to Aso rock, For Gods sake we are in 21st century and Nigeria is far behind a lot of our African brothers and someone is still thinking of Buhari in this era, enough is enough in this country this is not an autocratic but democratic era, are we to remain in darkness forever we need people that can move this country forward. As for Buhari he has nothing to offer.

Just imagine the trash. So because we are in the 21st century, one shouldn't excise his right to vie for an elective position anymore? What kind of logic is that? What is Ananih still doing in politics? What is Bode george doing? What is Edwin Clerk doing? And Bamanga Tukur? Not even to mention, they are all known crooks!

Very anoyingly funny hw some pple here reason. Too basic, too shallow. Jst like the Scumbag.

Lasun: I know the gov has not granted amnesty to a convicted criminal, he does not flip flop on policy issues( (no amnesty to ghost) .Take a trip to Nassarawa which is not too far from the base of the 40 laptops and see things for yourself, the people know they are better off compared to the former PDP gov who has a temporary suite at EFCC . How many PDP Gov have achieved a quarter of your itemized list, PDP has been in govt for eons.

Leave those two to be decieving themselves. They think everyone here is an ignoramus jst like them.

What Almakura has achieved in two years is what Abdulahi Adamu and Akwe Doma couldn't achieve in their TWELVE YEARS put together! They were both PDP, and both known for erecting the most imposing billboards across the state capital!

Whenever I'm going to Abuja these days, I mavel @ the transformation I see in Lafia especialy. Street lights and traffic lights adorn the roads. And now u see major tarred streets to the left and right of the main road unlike what we saw back in the admin of the two pdp kleptomaniacs. Then it was just that single main road that was tarred, with commercial buildings and banks to the left and right. Every other road that goes off that main road was untered with dug tranches that are meant to be drainages or water channels. All that has been fixed under Almakura.

I'm sure those two pricks that keep barking on here like rabid dogs on expired steroidsabout the inadequacies of CPC have never been to Nasarawa state. They just sit wherever it is they operate from and type away giberish and inanities for gullible NL'ers to digest.

My advice for you guys is that you take a little walk out that stuffy caravan Abati hired for you guys, take a trip to the state and come on here to report back, without bias.

God Bless FRN
God bless ACN
God bless CPC
God bless GMB
God bless APC

Devil punish GEJ and Otupe and Abati along with their laptop employees. And boko haram too! Plus MEND!

tomakint: We are on the 12th page already, yet they keep dodging your simple and noble question and they are called 'leaders of tomorrow' the same way I challenged ACN/CPC supporters to mention any known Presidents in the history of this country who has achieved within the space of 2 years as Jonathan, guess what? No answer till now

You both are utterly pathetic! Is Buhari the govnor of that state, or are you people advocating he usurped the powers of the state governor?

Such dictatorial politics is only available in the Killer Party where the scumbag forces the govnor of his state to lick his butt and that of his dumpy wife.
How many of the projects u even mentioned are found in Bayelsa state from whence the scumbag comes even though he is the president.

Fvcking deluded sons of biitches.

[quote author=God's Mercy]No. A man who truncated a democratically elected system on Dec 31, 1983 is not fit to pilot the affair of the country.

And some 27 uneducated gullible Nigerians 'liked' it. What a shame!

Go back and read ur history books fellas. Buhari has NEVER taken part in any coup. He was only invited to lead the country after a coup, given his antecedents as a visionary and incoruptible military officer.

Aparently, opinions swing in his direction.

The choice of leaders is dictated by prevailing circumstances. With the situation in which we find ourselves today, I feel he's got what it takes to cleanse the system amd bring some sanity to bear.

omenka: The applications of these technologies can only be imagined! They are boundless, from global security, to space and ocean exploration.

My only fear is that the usual suspects might hijack the technology and use it to enslave humanity (which has always been their goal)

I shudder with fear at the thought of the human race winding up in a 'Total Recall'-like future. Not a pretty thing to witness at all.

Not to mention, in medicine in cases where people need prosthetic limbs. Had this been in place already, som1 like Oscar Pistorius would have been looking diferent.

MsDarkSkin: and my thing is WHAT FOR?
what are the intentions?

noblezone: And what exactly is your point?
To immortalise Abiola by naming UniLag after him was a show of appreciation to what the man contributed to the nations democratic system:
that Nigerians said NO to it and the Presidency accepted to the reverse is a show of a government that is very democratic. A tyrant would never had listened, no matter whose ox is gored.

I don't need any other example, but your reference makes a case for the opposite of a dictator as postulated by Amechi.
On the other hand, I have understood that a critic will always want A when given B, but will always demand for B as soon as you given A.

Did you read what I quoted before my post at all Na wa for u oo.

This has been in the works for a very long time. Covert experiments by the CIA seek to establish mechanical appendages to the human body. Not necesarily a cyborg but some kind of metal exoskeleton on the human body that would enhance movements in unimaginable dimensions and speeds. Their major headache they wrote, is producing a light weight batery that could be strong enough to power the moving parts of the exoskeleton. Also, a brain-machine interface is being developed. Avaters and sorogates are even being worked on too!

Can't exactly remember the link but the report was contained in some kind of security brief that if often given every newly inaugurated White House Boss, and says this could even be available for military purposes as early as 2025.

The world indeed is evolving. The limits of science is found only in the imagination. In science as long as you can concieve the Idea, it's creation is posible. Who knows, as fictitious as the concept of Time Travel sounds, we could witness it's application in our time.

100yrs ago, no one would have agreed drones would exist outside sci-fi hollywood movies!

Sincere 9gerian: Formerly he was "weak", but now he is "dictator". When will some persons make up their mind?

... And in other news, formerly it was UNILAG, then it became MAULAG, then back to UNILAG. Formerly, no more super eagles for the next two years, later, super eagles all the way. Formerly, no amnesty for ghosts, later, ghost can be granted amnesty. Formerly he sought only one term, now he wants another! Etc.

The flip flopper in chief is you-know-who.
Check ur facts b4 spewing garbage.

Why do our so called stars keep dressin like their Western counterparts? What's with all the thick hooded clothes? Those pple wear those things not for the sake of it but because of the nature of their weather. If need be, we should even be walking around in jst singlets.

Nigeria's dangerous skin whitening obsession
Last updated: 10 hours ago

Nigeria has the world's highest percentage of women using skin lightening agents in the quest for
"beauty".

Lagos, Nigeria - After carefully washing her face,
legs and arms, Taiwo Solomon vigorously rubs cream over her body. She is meticulous and makes sure she covers her entire face. Soloman, 32, is bleaching her skin. She believes fairer skin could be her ticket to a better life. So she spends her meager savings on cheap black-market concoctions that promise to lighten her pigment.

This has been a daily routine for the past 15 years.
Now several shades lighter she says her new skin
makes her feel more beautiful and confident.
“Bleaching just makes me feel special, like am
walking around in a spotlight,” she told Al Jazeera. “I am not seeking to be totally white, I just want to look beautiful. I cannot stop using the lightening agents,” she adds.

Solomon is not alone. According to the World Health
Organisation (WHO), 77 percent of women in Nigeria use skin-lightening products, the world’s highest percentage. That compares with 59 percent in Togo, and 27 percent in Senegal. The reasons for this are varied but most people say they use skin-lighteners because they want "white skin".

In many parts of Africa, lighter-skinned women are
considered more beautiful and are believed to be
more successful and likely to find marriage.
It's not only women though who are obsessed with
bleaching their skins. Some men too are involved in
the practice.


Conceptions of Beauty

Lightening creams are not effectively regulated in
Nigeria where even roadside vendors sell tubes and
plastic bags of powders and ointments from
cardboard boxes stacked along sidewalks in market
districts. Many of the tubes are unlabelled as to their actual ingredients.

"An African will prefer to be called John-Philip.
If you said your name was Chukwu Emeka
Afongkudong they will say you are from the
village. You are backward. How can you have
such a name? We really look down on our
culture and heritage instead of being proud of
it. "
- Femi Kuti, Nigerian Musician

In a market in Lagos, Nigeria's commercial capital,
business is booming for shops selling skin-lightening products. Both local and imported products line the shelves of Rashida Lawal’s cosmetics shop.

"About 90 percent of my clients come asking for skin whitening products," she told Al Jazeera. "I sell it to them and give advice on what product is best for them and how to use them." She says most of her customers are in a great haste
to lighten their skin.

“Taking the color of your skin to different colour has
to be gradual. It's not something you decide one day that 'I want to be fair, I want to be like Michael
Jackson and you become Michael Jackson all of a
sudden'. That is why we have to advise them first
before selling it to them” said Lawal. Rashida and her staff also mix different ointments and creams for customers “depending on the desired level of lightness”.

Famous Nigerian Musician Femi Kuti says the use
skin-lightening products have given rise to their own terminology.
“When the bleaching propaganda got so negative,
they had to come up with toning. Bleaching sounds
too hard, now it’s toning. I don't bleach, they say, I
tone!”

“They think bleaching is gege,” he told Al Jazeera,
using a Nigerian term for cool. Femi attributes skin bleaching to a feeling that foreign products and images must, by definition, be good.

“An African will prefer to be called John-Philip. If you
said your name was Chukwu Emeka Afongkudong
they will say you are from the village. You are
backward. How can you have such a name? We really look down on our culture and heritage instead of being proud of it,” he laments.


Dangerous Consequences

Skin bleaching comes with hazardous health
consequences. The dangers associated with the use
of toxic compounds for skin bleaching include blood
cancers such as leukemia and cancers of the liver
and kidneys as well as severe skin conditions.

Hardcore bleachers use illegal ointments containing
toxins like mercury, a metal that blocks production of melanin, which gives the skin its colour, but can also be toxic.

Ayobode Williams, a medical doctor, says the skin
bleaching agents have both internal and external
effects on those who use them.

“Systemically it causes things like kidney failure
because of the mercury in some of the products and
it also causes eczema, skin pigmentation among a
host of other infections,” he told Al Jazeera.
Dr Williams warned that sustained use of bleaching
agents could cause even cancer.
Yet few seem to pay attention to these dangers. For
those who bleach, staying black is not beautiful at all.

vanstanzy: RIP! My sweet heroin.

But the way the Yoruba folks on this forum disregard the dead is alarming. Imagine whats going on in the Chinua Achebe thread, despite the man is dead. Na wa o!

What a dead mushroom u are. At what point did people start comparing number of mourners? What purpose does that serve when one is dead

Our leaders are responsible for the negative PR we generate as a nation and not the western media. If we put our house in order, whether or not they report only negativities, our light would shine through, period.

Well what can one say?? Eerm, fvck you too!

ujchief: Hahahahahahahaha!!!

. . .Each boko haram member that embraces the new amnesty should also be given 72 virgins from any state of his choice.

Its only fair to pacify them with the virgins they so desire.

Hahahahahahahaaha!!!

Who's says crime doesn't pay? Gej will soon prove to you that crime pays! Big time!

But he has been doing that tey tey naw. Or are u a learner?

When they stop using public funds to finance their feeding and medical janborees we would stop asking.

Useless thread by the way.

.... And incase you care to know, (cos some come up with that stipid question: what effort r u making on ur own) I commit 30% of my take home to charity, and yes, I'm bragging about that! There are damn too many pple in this country that have found themselves in such pathetic conditions just due to the sheer wickedness of our so called leaders. They live in a different world and are oblivious of what is hapening on the mainstreet!

The sooner we kick them out, the better.


God bless Nigeria.

[quote author=Red-Light]can u proof its barefaced lie? did u carry out any survey urself? do u have people that die always in ur neighborhood as a result of poverty?[/quote]Stop fooling yourself. I don't need to carry out a survey! And yes, I see pple die because of poverty. I see people's parents (pensioneers) colapse on queues in banks jst to receive peanuts. I see five year olds who ought to be in skool hawking on the streets jst to supplement family's income so they don't starve. I see a almajeris, thousands of them, living off of people's magnanimity. I don't see pipe bourne water running in rural areas and majority of urban centres. I see graduates roaming the streets day in day out unemployed. I don't see politicians building factories in our country with our stollen monies, but rather stash them away in western countries with alrdy developed economies. I don't get electricity up to 8hrs daily!!!!

Please, they should tell us another story. This one is damn too stale.
