do you mean to tell me that adeboye is too big to be questioned by men.People like you are the cause of the problems we have in this country

what i'm simply saying is that politics and religion are 2 different issues and their matters must be addressed with caution. As regards adeboye being accountable to God it is a known bible fact that all ministers of God are accountable to him alone because of the position they occupy, so rather than insult every opinion expressed we should rather consider treating the issue with care so as not to offend the ultimate judge himself

well the r c c g is clearly one of the biggest churches in Nigeria and they are very capable of owning a jet, but a religious leader is way different from a business leader, that the wealth is there doesnt mean it must be spent the way moguls spend theirs, nevertheless people should address the issue with care as the man in question is a man of God who is accountable to God alone for his actions and not to Rccg members or any man in general,

although the whole world aand sudanese know that al bashir is a murderer, the icj should first start by issuing similar warrants to george bush and tony blair for their actions in iraq, surprising these western dullards have forgotten that al bashir is a sovereign head of state and that such judicial actions backfire, why cant they issue such a warrant against putin/mendevev for their actions in georgia, hypocrites

who would now lead the new unit? ghadaffi? or probably mugabe!!! ghadaffi must be dull to think africans are as foolish he thinks

well there's always room for change, even in a babaric state like lagos

nigeria's negatives outweigh the positives

i think in every sector obasanjo's(civilian) admin was better than that of babangida, for one obasanjo liberalized the education sector with the allowance for the creation of private universities while his privatization liberalization drive of the economy led to the creation of steady jobs for thousands of youths in differnt sectors of the economy eg telecommunications and banking

sorry for the girl, sixteen, jst entering the world of boys and she ends her life?? God's mercy on her

he doesnt even deserve to complete his term

are you blaming the french for the decision of an african leader to kill his people africans are their own worst nightmare, leaders and followers

he's dead, buried and not bothered whether there's still an idea called awoism

homosexuality is a sin, end of story,,no need for any discussion

quite lame, and to think white girls were quite smart,

Mad_Max:
It's not about 'men' and 'women'. Gender is utterly irrelevant in spiritual things.

and i really hope you can prove that

yeah the movie's  overhyped but i personally think it to be quite hilarious, the same theme of the last 20 years but in a hilarious mode, technically poor but quite good, kudos to funke

Nigeria as i've always said is a nation led by barbarians, a status which has extended to wives and probably children, who would probably be terrorizing their peers with their executive children status

my brother no one knows, the only thing that's sure is that i've never seen a natural disaster like Nigeria, a country blessed with wealth but still affords to be one of the poorest nations in the world, it's quite worse than a tsunami you know

Nigeria's Ambassador to US fired?-The Inside Story
Sunday, 15 February 2009 17:03 Saharareporters, New York
The recently announced "sack" of Nigeria's ambassador to the US, General Oluwole Rotimi (Rtd) has revealed deep divisions in the team of Nigeria's Supreme Court-imposed president, Umaru Yar'adua. The ambassador, who spoke to Saharareporters briefly about his ordeal, said he is yet to receive any letter of sack from Yar'adua, contrary to a report by Thisday newspaper.

When SaharaReporters reached Nigeria's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ojo Maduekwe, he also refused to speak about the reported sack of the ambassador. Throughout an intense question and answer with Saharareporters, he maintained he was away from Abuja and attending a burial. He directed our reporters to call "the headquarters in Abuja" to find out what is happening.

Diplomatic sources told Saharareporters that Maduekwe was pushing the sack of the ambassador and might have used newspaper reports to pressurize Yar'adua to act upon the decision to sack Oluwole, since it was taking too long. The minister, according to our sources, had reported the Ambassador to Yar'Adua during the swearing-in–ceremony of President Atta Mills in Accra.

Maduekwe reportedly made available to Yar'Adua a letter allegedly written by General Rotimi and circulated widely within the Minister's close-knit circle, including former president Olusegun Obasanjo. In it, the ambassador allegedly claimed to have defeated the Biafran Army while he was "Adjutant –General" in the Nigerian Army, but General Rotimi denies ever writing such a letter.

He told Saharareporters that he was never an "Adjutant General" in the Nigerian Army but a "Quarter-Master-General". Standing his ground, he asked the media to ensure that whomever made the allegation substantiates it. He claimed that as an old man, he has friends across Nigeria and could not afford to put such a divisive statement in a letter to the minister. With Maduekwe refusing to speak about the issue, Saharareporters has not been able to confirm the existence of the letter officially. Our inquiries from one of the Thisday writers of the story did not yield any results: we were directed to speak with the Thisday Saturday editor in Lagos who is supposedly in possession of the letter that is now the subject of an intense ethnic and political debate.

Further investigations by Saharareporters show that although the Minister for Foreign affairs may be using ethnicity to make his point in getting Rotimi recalled, he not exactly a respecter of people of his ethnic origin. Only last year, in a fit of anger, he wrote several letters in which he deployed and redeployed Nigeria's female Charge d'Affaires in Ethiopia, Mrs. Chigozie F. Obi-Nnadozie. He eventually sent her off to Trinidad and Tobago.

Also a US-based Professor, Mobolaji Aluko, told Saharareporters that the minister, while he campaigned for former dictator Sanni Abacha to transmute into a civilian president in 1998, told him that they will have to solve the "Yoruba problem"

Aluko said he still has Maduekwe's "final solution to the Yoruba problem in Nigeria" ringing in his ears since 1998. "Tell him that I said so, and ask him whether I did not confront him with it right there in New York at the Council of Foreign Relations". Abacha died soon after those events and Maduekwe moved to the new power brokers. His search for strong authority brought him to the top of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 2007.

Sources say Madukwe may have resented Ambassador Rotimi from the beginning because it was Obasanjo who nominated the ambassador as the former president was reconciling with his successor last year after a prolonged period of frosty relations. Yar'adua's supporters however became concerned that Washington DC was too sensitive to be left in the hands of Obasanjo and his men. As a result, the ambassador was left in the cold over official diplomatic activities and his deputy, Ambassador Wakili, dealt directly with Maduekwe and the presidency.

General Rotimi, Saharareporters learnt, resented having to follow the minister around, on account of his advanced age, especially as Maduekwe has a taste for frequent and prolonged trips to the US. "The minister was notorious for spending weeks in the US just roaming around", a source in the Nigerian embassy told Saharareporters. During the United Nations General Assembly and the recently concluded inauguration of President Obama, Maduekwe spent several days in the US doing nothing in particular. As Nigeria's representative to the General Assembly, he was not allowed to make his presentation until almost everyone had left; even then, it was merely to read the speech of Yar'adua, who could not attend on account of his failing health.

SaharaReporters also learnt that the Federal government sent two delegations to the Obama inauguration from Abuja even though no invitation had been sent to Abuja. Chief Emeka Anyaoku led one delegation while Minister Maduekwe led yet another. Ambassador Rotimi ran into trouble with Maduekwe when he requested that the two teams be merged together for managerial and reception reasons. Maduekwe, who is known to be a highly-egotistical man, refused all entreaties to accept that the older, more experienced Chief Anyaoku lead the two teams. He was also enraged by the refusal of the ambassador to surrender his inauguration tickets to him so that he could lead the Nigerian delegation to the inauguration. But this could not be done because the US Secret Service in Washington D.C. would not substitute or permit an uninvited Foreign Minister in place of an accredited Ambassador.

Both Maduekwe and General Rotimi are close to former president Obasanjo, but as things fell apart between the duo, Maduekwe is said to have portrayed to Yar'adua that General Rotimi is still loyal to the former president as Rotimi had visited Obasanjo while the latter while Obasanjo was at the UN to present his report on the peace mission in the Congo. Coincidentally, Maduekwe himself also met with Obasanjo extensively and reportedly bad-mouthed Yar'adua to Obasanjo, telling the former president that Yar'adua arrives at Federal Executive Meetings (FEC) seated before everyone and doesn't move or speak as such, underscoring the gravity of his sickness.

Saharareporters sources said Yar'adua will likely approve a statement by next week recalling Oluwole, since his hands have now been forced.

Na wa for Nigeria, With  the amount of chances they've lost in these group stages, it would take a miracle to secure the Gold medal, they need to reduce their selfish tendencies  because there is victory in teamwork

well after all these posts the North would still be "over-over dependent on oil to develop the empty landmass it occupies, Southern leaders should also look to overturn the monopoly enjioyed by the North in the Agric sector by producing in mass quantitiess those products that are suitable with the environment,

he might have , he might not have, unfortunately that's the piece of the puzzle we would never solve

what's the big deal if they advertise on cnn, they have the money, as long as the dont fold up, that's where wahala will start

the guy's just badluck, and he's such a wonderful player, he must have bin, you know, jazzed

how did you guys view spain's wonderful victory over the Germans in Vienna??

there's no big deal if fashola brought Rio to Nigeria, if i understand the issue correctly, the issue centers around money.Looking at Fashola's background,one would have to believe that he had analyzed the cost before undertaking such a venture, with the large turnout of participants who came to watch Rio flag off the event,i dont think the initiative was a bad idea.
Kanu has a right to complain about the cost of Rio's visit to Nigeria,but such should be justified on facts,not surprise hear says.Irrespective of the cost,the initiative has generated lots of interest especially for those "boys" who never stop dreaming of Europe.

there's no need to discuss this post, cos Nigeria is a disaster of 140million people, i wonder when we would develop into that country all would be proud of, i dont think Nigeria can be run sucessfully, military,civilian,traditional,10 year plan,vision 2000,vision 2010,vision 2020,NEEDS,SEEDS, etc,etc,everything is just a waste of time, we should just pray to God to solve our problem once and for all

@uchetobi
wtf are you talkin about? are u a student of OAU ife if you aren't of CU? see UNIBEN (electrical engineering) graduated 15 1st class in the last graduating set, we all know why these things happen. not that we don't have brilliant students in public universities, they oonly withold 1st class to preserve the integrity of the department. had a couple of friends that graduated with 4.48,4.49 and so on, there's something called multiplication factor, where they multiply your cgpa by a factor thus reducing it to 2.1 in effect!! while we\ve often seen upgrades from 4.48 to 4.51 to make a first class if there's no one in the 1st class range. the only reason elect elect in uniben did what they did was because it was bcomin too obvious the multiplication factor thing(which is illegal).thus senate met and decided to award all deserving students - this rarely happens,
for my private university dudes, we know these things, all the best of the best lecturers are still in the public universities, how much do they even pay resident lecturers, i know of babcock (60k); except for visiting lecturers which are of course permanent lecturers in public unversities. so what are we talkin about?
if you graduated from a public university, you'll know that 1st class is a big BIGGIE(to use your words).Private universities are not it at all, do they even need Jamb to gain admission? its all about the money. the more the school e.g CU appears to do very well, the more the patronage.
Imany have worked under me in my office as IT students, and i wonder, they aren't spectacular,infact many of them are like birds just let loose from captivity. they do things that they can't imagine doin in school.not neccesarily better than those from public universities, just cleaner most of the time 'because they're from rich homes.

, to be continued,

Statement of a naturally dull nigerian public university graduate, if at your level you think private universities is all about money and money alone,then i think i'll pay for my descendants to go to private universities for the next five generations.Dude,no one said private uni grads are magicians,if you were epecting something"spectacular" from them,then you must check your head,
PS: whether a lecturer is paid 10,000 or 60,000 is not the concern,as long as his product can defend themselves outside, if you've not met any smart private university graduate,then you must have been mixing wiv the wrong group( probably a drop out from both public and private universities)

Dis Guy:
Are students from CU allowed to take internship/ IT or do they just do four year straight?

news from the churchyard, Babcock is preparing 25 first class students in each department!!!

Guy,you be dullard, were did you hear your churchyard news from?? let me guess, yeah,the "church-yard", not the church, bolo
as for the rest of my folks, if you're serious, you can get a first class either in a private,federal,state,osu/lasu or foreign university,
as for covenant and their 20 first class, i hope they'll be able to defend their degree outside canaanland and prove to our brovas in public schools that they are equally competent if not better,
