Don't be so naiive dear. If she had made the mistake of stating how she had helped him she would have attracted more criticism to herself than u presently are. How she sed what she sed is the most decent way to say it.. A sincere philantropist never publicise their deeds..

..."All of us at BP deeply regret the tragic loss of life
caused by the Deepwater Horizon accident as well as
the impact of the spill on the Gulf coast
region," Bob Dudley, chief executive of BP ( ),
said in a statement. "From the outset, we stepped up
by responding to the spill, paying legitimate claims
and funding restoration efforts in the Gulf."
"We apologize for our role in the accident, and as
today's resolution with the U.S. government further
reflects, we have accepted responsibility for our
actions," Dudley added.
The fine comes on top of $20 billion that the
company has agreed to pay into a trust fund to meet
damage claims from the millions of gallons of oil
spilled into the Gulf. It said it expects to pay a final
$860 million into that fund this quarter.

^^In a country with a responsible government this is what you get! And this comes after they had been charged, firstly, $4.5billion to pay for legal fees incured by the US federal government in the litigation and other minor compensations!



Now, check this out..

....IT was a moment of truth yesterday as the
Presidential Committee on Environmental, Survey
and Clean-up of Ogoniland submitted its report
after two years of investigations and indicted both
the Federal Government and the Royal Dutch Shell
Petroleum Development Company, SPDC, with a
declaration that N150 billion was required to clean
up the contaminated area.
....The committee, headed by Most Rev. Matthew
Kukah, which collaborated with UNEP, led by
Director Environmental Policy Implementation, Mr
Ibrahim Thiaw, admitted that all samples taken
from the air, water and soil in over 200 locations in
the area showed that Oganiland has Hydrocarbon
materials hanging in the air and floating layers of
oil that makes it unsafe for human habitation
The report stated that while individual lands in
Ogoni may be cleaned up within five years, it will
certainly take up to 30 years to clean up the rest of
the area.
....The President said though sourcing the whopping
sum was a huge burden on both the government
and Shell company (#you can see our president himself already making excuses for the oil company!)
.....He promised that “the Nigerian government is
going to discuss with Shell ( DISCUSS!! Only in Nigeria) and other companies
operating in the areas and other relevant
government agencies to see how we can handle
this report. But let me assure you that we are not
going to put this report in our drawers but we are
going to act on it and you will surely know about”
#Vanguard


^^The committe submitted its report in AUGUST 15, 2011. The president, as seen, promissed ''we are not going to put this report in our drawers but we are going to act on it'' but guess where where that report is today... I bet he must have had the oil company executives rolling on the floor laughing when he made that statement.
Apparently, the Ogoni incident is far worse than that of the Gulf of Mexico, with thesame company involved. But in this part of the world, our government, rather than sueing the OCs and having them even pay the legal fees incured in the process in addition to mind buggling financial compensations, would ''discuss'' with them, collect bribes, sweep evrything under the rug, set up committees, and have their reports lucked up in the safest coldest drawers in Aso Villa and respective state govt houses and then have the OCs hand out BISCUITS, a couple of BAGS of RICE and a few TINS of MILK!!!!

Pls allow me to digress folks but I havnt the slightest empathy for ANY of our current politicians because they, one way or the other, are responsible for the decrepit state of the nation today. At evry single chance they take to the skies with choppers and jets, leaving the common man to stare after them with awe at the wonders of technology, keeping themselves perpetually oblivious of the state of our roads. You don't go to relieve urself in the bush and not expect to attract buzzin green flies. I say, to each his own. No one can ever escape that which is naturally due them.

My only regret when they die accidentally is that they don't get the chance to divulge details of those foreign bank accounts, or those underground bunkers where they had stashed our stollen wealth. Chances are those countries would never ever get to repatriate those monies out of sheer altruism but would rather use it to enhance their economies. Afterall, given the current state of the global economy, every country needs evry single dime she can lay her hands on. And as for the ones stashed underground, they just might end up in the belly of termites! Think its about time we started treasure hunting in Naija.

Politics › Americans Unimpressed By Obama's Tears! by omenka(op): 10:51am On Dec 15, 2012
We always insist Jonathan is the most insulted and detested president in the world. Hell, even google says so. But when I came across an article whose responses I'm posting, I began having a rethink.
Here was a president who undoubtedly was distraught and emmotional, yet some americans lashed out at him, sayin it was all for show!

Regardless, I think all these incidents are being orchestrated by the promoters of the New World Order ( as typified by the comments of some notable personalities such as Mayor Bloomberg) notableto further their sinister agenda of having absolute dominion over the US population by repealing some segments of the Second Ammendment, most especialy, the right to bear arms. With a police state and an unarmed population, clearly, the Federal Govt can hardly be stood up to. And absolute control over The Free World would have unimaginable consequences over the rest of the world!

Yes, Obama wipes away fake tears and he wipes
away children…murdered at his command, by his
war toys, drones. Obama certainly fits the description
of a war criminal mass murderer. The children that
are murdered by drone are warlord Obamas
“unfortunate” collateral damage.
Easy to be a psychotic soldier, puppet of master
Obama, sitting at the controls of video-like game,
operasting the drone machine, and committing
sterile mass murder. When done, wipe yer tears and
go have another beer. Real brave soldier.

It’s pretty ironic he’s upset about a school shooting
when he is so addicted to killing by drone. I guess
what he said to Sarah Brady about working under the

more than shooting a couple adults in a mall.

this will surely be a final nail in the coffin of gun

another manchurian candidate comes to mind.
i got a better solution.
!. make it mandantory for teachers to open carry a
hand gun which can only be fired by that teacher.
2. bring back corporal punishment in the schools and
at home.
we have been on this experiment of allowing kids to
get away with no respect without kicking their arses
now for 40 years. (these killings are a direct result.)
for millions of years that is what parents did. some of
them got to rough on their kids so the law passed
laws to protect those children from disipline. at least
they weren’t killing this many and it was their own
blood so who cares. it isn’t working . hello…..

Nah, real tears…of joy since the only two scenarios I
think could further his gun grabbing agenda more
than this will would be if a pre-school got shot up and
as many or more toddlers got killed or if a santa
picture session at a mall got shot up on Christmas
eve with most of those dying being kids.
This is pretty bad for the gun control shim sham and
could be the tipping point for the politicians and non
gun owning sheeple to get behind it.
If this shooting was legit then damn this idiot for
doing that to innocent children. If it was set up by the
gun grabbers or govt then damn them for being that
evil to try and get the masses to support their
wishes.
Such a screwed up world we live in. Pathetic really.

All though I believe Obama tears were real over the
killed children in this horrible shootings in
Connecticut we do not value life of the children and
adults that we have killed in the other countries in
wars based on lies and greed. From the Bible I quote
” Woe to the habitats of earth for satan has been cast
down among you. For he knows he has but little time.
Satan is among us now working his evil deeds. In
recent years I have notice a decline in our society in
America and the rest of the world. Today right before
I turned on the news on the TV to CNN news channel
I said to my wife “I wonder what shooting rampage
has happen today”. The first news story we heard
was this awful tragedy at the school in Connecticut.
These shooting have become almost a every day and
week happening. As a parent and a grandfather this
has it has shaken be down to my soul as the tears

Yet another terrible tragedy, another terrible school
shooting, this time of little kids. I find it strange that
all these mass murders ALWAYS happen at schools,
government buildings, movie theatres etc. Those are
all places where law abiding citizens are not allowed
to be armed, in conceal carry states. Someone wants
to go kill a lot of people, they automatically pick
schools, government buildings etc. cause they know
it is illegal to conceal carry for law abiding people, so
they won’t defend themselves. Considering the
ridiculous number of freakn school shootings, why
can’t teachers be allowed to be armed and conceal
carry at schools, wtf, this could have been prevented
so easily.
I think I feel safer walking down the street in a bad
neighborhood now then going to a school or a
government building, this is freakn ridiculious. Why
make it illegal to carry firearms for law abiding
citizens to schools and government buildings as this
only stops the law abiding citizens from carrying it,
since CRIMINALS DO NOT CARE THAT IT IS ILLEGAL.
DUHHH.
My friends, do not sit and be on the defense on the
gun control issue because of this shooting. This
shooting is a fault of those irrational laws that don’t
allow teachers in elementary and other schools to be
armed, considering the history of school shooting in
the US. Be on the offense and use this shooting to
point out that it is those laws that prevent teachers
from defending children that are respoinsible for this
tragedy, THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE
DEATHS.
Raise your voice speak out, let everyone know.

It’s interesting to me how blind people are to their
own hypocrisy and myopia. Obama’s foreign policies
have killed COUNTLESS children; I don’t think it
occurs to him how much suffering he’s caused
because of the atrocious policies he’s implemented,
or at least green lighted.
I agree with another anon – the teachers should be
allowed to carry (after thorough psych evals,
naturally).
It’s tragic what’s happened to these children, the
teachers/staff, and their families. Whatever
legislation is passed as a result of this (as it most
assuredly will be), the policy makers would do well to
respect Americans’ constitutional rights, otherwise, I
see the black market for guns becoming that much
more popular…
Insane sub-human fools will always be able to get a
gun legally or not. as this story illustrates. What we
need are more sane and responsible gun owners,
especially in places with a vulnerable population.

Amen! I am horrified by the tragedy in Connecticut.
There is absolutely no words for the grief of the
families that have lost loved ones. But, that does not
equate to gun control. Fewer people died last year by
guns than died from drunk drivers. Do we ban cars?
Alcohol? It is horrifying that there are sick people in
this world. Remember planes being flown into
buildings? Cars being driven into restaurants? Sick
people find a way to cause mass casualties. The lack
of guns does not make people safe. Let those who
want gun control move to a country with gun control.
This country was formed by REVOLUTION! Had our
fore fathers had gun control, we would still be under
sovereign rule. With gun control, people will no
longer ever have the means to practice their right to
abolish the government IF the government fails the

It was piss poor acting on osama’s part. I’ll give him
credit, it was better bush’s speech to the nation on
9/11. Osama and his gang of handlers are trying to
figure out how they can turn this tragedy into an
opportunity to attack the 2nd amendment. Why not
he already armed the cartels in Mexico to the point
that our border agents may as well be throwing
rocks, even then he would imprison ANY AMERICAN
agent or civillian that even carried a rock within 100
miles of the border. He would justify this punishment
by claiming when WHITE AMERICANS carry rocks
near illegals planning jumping the border, they feel
so threatend that they were forced to walk an extra
100ft to avoid the rocks. Hell the way he caters to
illegals Im surprised he hasnt forced the agents to
provide illegals with room & board, transportation
and jobs. Buckle up America, its going to be a bumpy
ride. Hes probably ordering his TSA thugs to follow
travelers home where they can confiscate any
weapon in your home or anything that could be used
as a weapon. Then have his health care techs
administer forced sterilization of any non minority
while his green police seize your home, to be given to
illegals, while you are fined to pay for renovations.
Then he’d force all non minority into re-education
camps, where they are water boarded til they admit
to being a terrorist. At that point he would have all
non minorities executed in public by the “new
americans”, illegals. Any protest to the destuction of
the constitution and genocide of whites will be met
by similar treatment.

Sincere 9gerian: As for the issue of OBJ and GEJ disagreement, I completely disagree with Asari. OBJ is not God. OBJ lost his polling boot in the last elections, that alone is enough to make him want to deal with GEJ for failing to save him from electoral humiliation. Prior to 1999, OBJ was nobody. He was brought out from prison and made president. He later had disagreements with all those who made him president and became his own man. The enormous power he wielded up till day he left Aso Rock, came upon him naturally as the president then. However, GEJ is now in charge and being his own man, wants to do things differently. His approach to elections and many other things are clearly different from that of OBJ. I dont see anything wrong with GEJ being his own man and doing things differently. Moreover, OBJ has lost 90% of the influence he wielded before. He can only play minimal role in PDP primaries. As for the general elections, OBJ is COMPLETELY inconsequential
Jonathan named Alams as his benefactor and on the other hand picked a fight with Obj. Between keepin faith with Obj and Alams, which is more politically rewarding. I think I would go with Asari on this one. Jonathan indeed took a fowl shot.

[quote author=Okija_juju]Of the mother of a high ranking officer of the Federal republic of Nigeria..


Her mother would not be treated the same way theu would handle most victims..

The armys involvement is not illegal..
[/quote]And where does the constitution prescribe different treatment for matters relating to the kith and kin of such government officials? The legality or otherwise is not even the problem here. The act just runs afowl of logic and reason. How does a govt expect to stir up even the slightest sence of patriotism amongst citizens with such blatent show of preference?
I watch CI channel and other crime investigation documentaries on tv and I see how the death of even the lowliest street urchin is investigated and unraveled. Countries threaten diplomatic sanctions over the ill treatment of even one of their citizens by a foreign government. Isreal exchanged over a thousand palestinian prisoners just for Gillard Shalit!! These are the little things a government does to make citizens want to die for their country!
He carries on about the minister of finance and the petroleum minister as though they are the alfa and omega of naija.
With this, what's gonna happen if his mother gets kidnaped? Is he gonna scramble F15s or deploy cruise guided missiles?
He should stop promoting the deep sence of worthlesness felt by the average nigerian on the street which already apears to be at its climax.
He should try as much as posible to limit the contact of the army with civilian pupulation cos they are trained to kill and not to investigate crimes. The respect the general public for our khaki boys is at an all time low because of acts like this. They now mount roadblocks collecting 20 or 50 nairas just like the police!
This isn't just right. It is not.

ypzilanti: I'm amazed that Nigerian people who can type English and probably graduated from University cannot do some critical reasoning. what then should we expect from Nigerian illiterates?

Ok. Let us do some critical analysis. Was Sharia imposed in northern states under Buhari when he was a military ruler,and could do and undo? No.


Sharia was imposed in the North under a 'Christian' ruler, Obasanjo. Boko Haram flourishes under a 'Christian' ruler, Jonathan.

Under whose regime was Boko Haram scattered ruthlessly and leader executed controversially? YarAdua...a moslem.

Can Buhari possibly impose Islam on all Nigerians as a Democratic president? Hell no!

I don't know of Buhari's intellectual capacity to manage Nigeria's economy, but he surely will do better than GEJ.

Another thing I know is that if Buhari is declared winner of presidential elections today, all the looters in Nigeria will board the next flight out of the country.

Shebi the north said last election was their turn to rule Nigeria. Why then did the northern elite not back Buhari after GEJ swindled them out of PDP ticket?

People murdered in his name during post election violence, but he did not send anyone to do that. It is the same way that the Niger Delta militants are always threatening to murder everyone if anything happens to GEJ. It is Nigeria's peculiar nature that ethnicity is finally brought into everything.

Use your head and stop repeating PDP propoganda that they used to rubbish Buhari during the election period.

That said, I think the guy should take a much needed rest and back a credible candidate next election cycle.
This post ought to make newspaper headlines across the country sir. There's no better way to put it.

[quote author=Okija_juju]You do realise that under the constitution, there is a provision which justifies using the army to handle this matter.. The Army is not only used for external threat situations but also internal as well, depending on the gravity..

Should they have need to go itno the bushes and scout.. I will hope that the army would be better than the police in such situations..

PointB: Spot on!

This is the quote of the century!
Please I beg to be enlightened. What is your definition of 'Free and Fair'? Allowing all parties to rig elections as they please? How on earth can you call an election in which a party sweeps all LG and councillorship positions free and fair?? Elections held in benue and not a SINGLE slot was won by ACN! Elections held in lagos and PDP almost went home without a single victory!
The only difference I see between Jonathan's INEC and Obj's INEC is that Jonathan seems to allow other parties besides pdp to rig elections!

Electoral fraud exists even in the greatest of democracies, but naija's is just out of this cosmos!
I see no freedom and fairness in our system. The pple's opinions still account for an insignificantly small fraction of the outcome of elections.

Very crude analysis! Now, put that into ratio and compare the ratio of pdp governors performing well to that of acn. That's the way to analyse bro.

Are we realy in a democratic dispensation? Why the hell are the khaki boys always quickly brought into matters that are purely civilian in nature? Their job is to protect us from external agression, maintain our territorial integrity, and protect our sovereignty. Whatever hapened to our police,S SS, and civil defence corps??
JONATHAN, WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!!!

It's simple, if u want Corruptionn to be beaten to the bearest minimum, then vote for a Buhari if he runs.

But if Nigerians want the GEJ corruption hurricane and tsunami of Insecurity to continue ​ so​ most Nigerians could suffer to an early grave, pls by all means vote Goodluck for a 2nd term.

"a word is enough for the wise" undecided
Absolutely! Problem is alot of us have become intentionally ignorant of the deeds of this perverse government. If only we can take a step back and ponder : if naija were my company, is this how I wld like to have it run?

So sad the situation we find ourselves today.

Christianity Etc › Pope Benedict Makes First Tweet! by omenka(op): 8:11pm On Dec 12, 2012
The wait is over for Pope Benedict XVI's
many Twitter followers, and they have been quick
to respond to the much anticipated first tweet
from his personal account Wednesday morning.
Using the handle @Pontifex -- meaning "bridge
builder" in Latin -- he posted: "Dear friends, I am
pleased to get in touch with you through Twitter.
Thank you for your generous response. I bless all
of you from my heart."
A flood of tweets expressing joy, admiration,
antagonism and skepticism followed from the
Twitterverse, not to mention a fair few jokes.
"Wow! Is this true?! Pope Benedict XVI has started
tweeting! Welcome Your Holliness! I'm grateful for
your blessing! Follow him!" tweeted
@Joyful_Minoz.
"Our Pope Benedict XVI has a twitter account!
Coolest Pope in history!" wrote @alexaSaclao.
"@pontifex welcome on twitter. Glad you
are now reachable to openly discuss gay
marriage, birth control and gender
equality!" said @wimremes.
Some are more skeptical about the
pontiff's personal involvement.
Why the Pope and Obama turn to Twitter
"For the first time in history, a man can
communicate directly with some low-level press
officer in Vatican," tweeted @EsaMakinen.
A Vatican official told CNN last week that the pope
would compose the tweets for the new account
himself. But while the pontiff pressed the button
to send his very first tweet, others are expected to
send future tweets on his behalf.

Wow!
