utumunta: It is also corruption ; when religious leaders refuse to say d truth , prevaricate or pander to interests favourable to them at d expense of d masses.
Pastor Bakare, u speak d truth most times, but, i am still waiting for u to condemn d killing of corpers in d north after u & Gen Buhari lost an election in 2011. Has d incident not been brought to ur notice or do u speak selective truth?

I don't know how old you are but u sound realy naiive politically. What makes you think Buhari or Bakere had any hand in the bloodshed. For all we know, it well might have been a spontaneous self motivated reaction, or planed by pdp to further dent the image of the general.
it is a technique that has been in use for as long as we can remember. Recall in 1933 Germany, Hitler and his party, in other to purge Germany of Jews and consolidate his powers, orchestrated the burning of the Reichstag and blamed it on the Jews... In a swift reaction to the arson, jewish neighborhoods were raided, some captured were sent to concentration camps while others were sumarily executed! When u want to hang a dog, give it a bad name...
And if you want to see where Buhari condemned the act, here it is... mobile.saharareporters.com/news-page/buhari-rejects-political-violence-calls-it-dastardly-act
Others might exist but this is what I have.
Have a nice day.

De Preacher: dat guy made 3 interesting points above jus because he made a comment abt supporting d present govt. Which he's free, u jus brought out ur weakness again. Pls grow up!!!

Oh ohw.. And there I was thinkin he took them pills alone..

Pizzanatty: Merger is nt d solution 2 our problem...personally i tink it will increase our problems eg
1,Unemployment will continue 2 increase as a result of SLOT sharing among d parties dt merged
2,Power tussle will b high among d politicians dt form d merger and hence dere wont b meetn point and wen dt happens...it will b case of...wen TWO ELEPHANT FIGHT,NAH GRASS GO SUFFER AM.

3,INFRASTRUCTURE DECAY...ALL d project of past leaders will b abandoned and news ones will surely create crisis since d leaders involve ar 4rm different zone,religion and diff political idea

....d list is endless...

Anyway d merger wont work,so cpc,acn,anpp etc...support d government...

GEJ 4 2015...

I thought the pharmacist said ONLY ONE TABLET a day..

Sahara breakin the news for us again! Where are discrediting squad or did the 'anonymous source' thingy they use to pick holes in SR's reports escape their keen eyes this tym, cos as we can all see, a 'source' still featured in this report as well..
Bunch of neverdowells.

jason123: Very violent and threatening, I must say!!!

What is very violent and threathening about what the man has said? What he said is what has hapened before and is even happenin ryt now. There was no free and fair elections in 2011 ushering in the present administration, the result of which are the losses we are all witnessing today as represented by unimaginable corruption and insecurity orchestrated by the Grand Criminal of the Federal Republic, Gudluck Jonathan.
Except one shows me in what ways corruption and insecurity constitute gains, the General is absolutely ryt, everyone would loose, again just the way we are lossing ryt now, except of course, the drunken master and his fellow bandits.

It is an open secret that Anenih was the president's prefered candidate. Although Jonathan has always shown by his actions and inactions that he's clueless but on this one I don't think he'd jst sit back and fold his arms while his 2015 ambition gradualy blurs to nothingness especially with the emergeance of Ali as the new BoT chair.
If we can recall, Anenih once served in that capacity but never completed his tenure. I can't remember that exactly led to his ousting but I feel thesame situation could still play out this time as well.
The presidency might choose to go bring out some portions of Farouk subsidy report in which Ali was somewhat indicted being the PPPRA boss at the time the fraud was ongoing. That could be used to blackmail and mucsle him out paving the way for the emergence of the precidency's prefered candidate as the new Chair. The EFCC would come in handy at this point. This is Nigeria, anything is possible.
It has hapened before, it could happen again.
God bless Nigeria.

I've sed it time and again, until those rodents are driven out of that cheese factory,,,,,

I hope our thieving politicians manage to sneak out time from their favourite preoccupation of scheming to pull off the next gagantuan scam to keep tabs on global trends...
Every now and then, we hear of US officials telling those dumbells how the country, in the not so distant future, would become one of the best destinations in the world for bizness and leisure, making them complacent, without droping the slightest hint that their government has been working acidously to become a net exporter of energy (oil n gas) in less than a decade! They never tell them of the grave dangers that lie ahead should we not put our house in order, diversifying the economy.
The report says Quatar and Russia would be relatively unaffected by this cos they have splendid energy infrastructure. What can we boast of in this regard?
Should the predictions be correct, there's no gainsayin the mess we would find ourselves in in 2017 and beyond if no critical pre-emtive steps are taken now. It doesn't take an Einstein to decipher that.
Our 'leaders' NEED TO WAKE THE FVCK UP!!!

..

...Since 2005, more than $125bn has been spent on
shale extraction, including drilling and purchasing
land, by the 50 largest US oil and gas companies,
according to a study by Ernst and Young.
High prices over the past decade, the flow of
petroleum from east to west, and the gush of money the other way has allowed Russia to re-assert its international clout and Gulf states to build up massive sovereign wealth funds. The shale boom has the potential to derail those trends.
In 2011, members of the Organisation of Petroleum
Exporting countries (OPEC) earned $1,026bn in net
oil export revenue, a 33 percent increase over 2010, the US Energy Information Adminisiration reported in May. If the price of oil drops because of new supplies, or if natural gas starts to eat into demand for traditional crude, oil-rich nations could potentially find themselves significantly less well-off.
"There will be significant impacts for security and
global politics," Faeth said of the shale boom.
Blue-eyed 'sheikhs'. Thanks largely to fracking, the US is set to overtake
Saudi Arabia and Russia to become the world's
biggest oil producer by 2017, according to a
November report from the International Energy
Agency (IEA).
Should gas-dependent leaders, including Russia's
Vladimir Putin or the Emir of Qatar, be worried? Will
the wealth and power of steely-eyed ex-KGB agents
or white-robed sheikhs be overshadowed by a rebirth of the American oil man - a new breed of Beverly Hillbilly?
"In the medium term, I think Qatar and Russia are
okay," Frank Asche, professor of risk management at the University of Stavanger in Norway, told Al
Jazeera. "Not [just] because they sell to customers on long-term contracts, but because the infrastructure is
there."

Then tomao some sloppy dolt would come on here and ask us to 'pray for our leaders'! I no even know wetin to tlk again!

Grand Commander of the Order of the Niger [GCON] - 14th February, 2008

Thesame David Mark whom it is taking over six yrs to complete a mere 14km fed road contract he secured using his wife as front from Otukpo, his home town, through to Ugbokolo?
You must be outta ur mind!

Decapo: This is someone's father o

So what? Even Jesus is being depicted in cartoons sometimes. Besides, nothing about the pic looks derogatory.
IMO, save for the bowler hat, it doesn't even look like the fisherman we know.

Two pple I respect the most: Ken Nnamani and Gen Buhari.

Thought they sed we should patronize only made in Naija goods and watch only nta.. .

Slave mentality and inferiority complex. The churches are most guilty of this.

[quote author=GARRI (x7)]Very shameful I tell you...

.... And he has a Ph.D..... [/quote]Im not even sure he deserved that Doctorate. Once heard that he failed to defend his dissertation thrice, was on the verge of gettin thrown out of the program b4 the then gov, Alams, intervened to save him the embarasment given his position as the deputy governor.
Can that man even correctly reference an article, let alone write a thesis?
I believe every bit of that story given what I've seen so far. The way he talks, his grammer, hand gestures, facial expressions, unnesesary smiles, dressing, and whole body language bespeaks an uninteligeant man...

[quote author=GARRI (x7)]Orubebe, Wogu, Diezani and other thieves still sit on GEJ's laps in Aso-rock so why should I take his "fight" against corrupt Sylva seriously.

GEJ is a corrupt thief who shields all sorts of corrupt elements from the law. The same simpleton who said Alams is his political benefactor in a public gathering.[/quote]Jonathan is still transfixed at where he finds himself today. He never imagined even in his worst state of drunkenness that he could ascend to where he finds himself today. Until he gets hit in the head with a sledgehammer, he'd remain in his perpertual state of blissful coma and oblivion.
You don't make a rat the GM of a cheese factory.
God bless Nigeria.

seanet01: He was not a bigot when he said this.
But he was labelled a bigot when he criticized Jonathan.
Speechless

What do you expect from pple who reason with their belly?

I'm sure one of the little gurl he took on recently scored him very low hence he chosed to overhaul his system preparatory for a re-match, and accidentaly outdid himself. RIP sha.

Watch out, that oafish drunken fisherman would grin when he sees this and come on National tv with dsame grin to extole his admin's sterlin performance with the report as evidence!
Done it before he has. Do it again he will.

noblezone: hahahahaha!

Emm, Ndubisi!, Ndubisi!!!, Ndu!!!!

Please, come do tea for me, and warm the Nkwobi also.

Lemme sit down, and enjoy myself while I watch another ethnic e-war.


When some of us are saying that Nigeria can never produce a National Leader, they call us names.
There will never be a leader that the North, South, East, West, Middle, Christian, Islam, etc will all accept as one.
It is wisdom to negotiate Nigeria, else, we can continue to deceive ourselves.



It is either you play to the gallery or simply ignorant.
The North is not only crying about marginalization, they are also doing something about it.

If Buhari were to be the President, the Boko Boys would not be on rampage.

I believe with all my heart Azazi's submission that the PDP is behind boko haram. To me its all a game plan towards 2015. Jonathan and his nest-mates (nest of killers~pdp #Wole Soyinka) undastand what effects destabilizing the north and decimating their population would have on voting pattern come 2015. He knows, as the failure he is, any popular candidate (Buhari et al) thrown up by the north from the oposition would efectively result in their eviction from Aso Villa. And in order to perpertuate the status quo, they have to rid the north of as many voters as possible by killing eligible voters and scaring those they can't kill off the streets effectively disenfranchising them leaving the south, east, and west to be the 'deciders' of the outcome of the presidential poll! My fear is, majority of Nigerians, being who they are, would throw the anticedents of candidates out the window and vote based on ethno-religious sentiments.

[quote author=Sunny_bobo]The same Muhammadu Buhari in his usual characteristic and in line with his superior complex mentality refused alongside some of his Northern brothers to appear before the Oputa panel.[/quote]When Obj was invited by Elumelu committee did he show up? Yet he was the prime suspect of that grand theft!

berem: I will rather vote for a bigoted Buhari than a slowpoke dumbass called jonathan.

That guy's the sleaziest oaf I'd ever seen my whole life.

9jacrip: Pre-2015 sling games have begun

U took those words right out of my fingers! Sadly, we see through all these plots. By Buhari we stand.

The more they try to decieve us, the more we forget he needs our sympathy and prayers. No doubt he's alive but he looks very oblivious of his suroundings. He's obviously being suported by d wife n the other guy next to him. Just to keep the fundgates of the taraba govt house open to them they could even take a pic of him skiing! These pple make me sick! Why not give the man some space and time so he cld recover peacefully or does the prognoses suggest he'd never fully recover?

Under no circumstsnce would I.

Truckpusher: I CALLED THEM LOWLIFES BECAUSE THAT'S EXACTLY WHO THEY ARE AND UNTIL THEY CHANGE THEIR ATTITUDE THEY'LL ALWAYS BE A LOWLIFE ....THAT'S NOT HYPOCRISY IT'S A FACT THOUGH THE TRUTH IS ALWAYS BITTER.

And is it not a fact that our leaders are criminals, rapists, ritualists, morons, junkies, paedophiles, and cultists??

Truckpusher: My fear is that if we continue to allow these people that are using abusive languages against public office holders instead of making a constructive criticism we might wake up one day and the govt says enough is enough and nothing will happen , they will close down these unfiltered press forums and nobody will do jack....after all we have other countries doing it right now because all it takes is to enact one law and the rest is history.....that's when all these lowlife will shut their trap for good and there will be no more avenue to even criticize constructively.

Biggest hypocrite ever! U speak of not using fowl and abusive language and do exactly dsame right in thesame post. Remove the thrash from your house before atempting to clean out somone else's corridor.
