Abeg let me hear word! Mega watt that is in sufficient to power Lagos alone!

Who does the minister thinks he is fooling? The Power road map plan launched under GEJ clearly said by April 2011, Power generation peak target @ 7000MW and here we are in september, they are shouting glory heaven for 4000MW when obviously they ought to be explaining and apologizing to Nigerians for failing to achieve the target set in that GEJ's Power road map!

Shameful indeed!, oh by the way, where is the super grid GEJ awarded for nearly $4bn?

Enigma:
Oyakhilome has taught the following --- after reading them would you still say he preaches "the unadulterated word of God"?

1. Do not pray to or through Jesus Christ

2. Jesus Christ tried to do miracles but he could not

3. Nowhere in the New Testament are we told to obey God


Let me stop at these three, there are others yet!

Answer to your worries;
1.You do not pray through Jesus! When you get born  again (Rom 10 vs 9-10), you come INTO christ and God and you remain there! You carry the authority of the Name of Jesus where ever you go.So when you want to ask the Father something,or want to declare a thing in line with Gods word, you use that authority IN the name of Jesus.

2. Obviously, you appear NOT to have read the bible where in Mark 6 vs 5 it said and I quote: "He (Jesus) COULD NOT do any miracles there (Jesus's hometown - Nazareth)except lay his hands on a FEW sick people and heal them. AND HE (JESUS) WAS AMAZED AT THIER LACK OF FAITH" end of quote (cf matt 13vs58). Obviously you missed the warning in themessage where Pastor Chris preached this verse and I have encasped here for you! It wasn't the question wether Jesus could do miracles rather it emphasizes the fact that YOUR faith matters!

3.Again, if you believe to the contratry, then you make God to be a liar who vowed that He God will put in his new creation a new heart and they will walk after him - meaning the holy ghost in us leads us CONTINUALLY in obedience to God. That was Gods soveriegn declaration! Ever wonder why Peter called us ", as obedient children, "?

May I remind you that there were some like you who doubted the holy spirit, the pentecost, speaking in tongues,and the faith walk until the Azuza street outpouring!  

Your scriptural foundational teachings/upbring might have been wrong but you have no excuse to remain that way!

gogodaye:
Yes, this is just an icing to the cake. l remember not too long ago the great one, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti sang about these long ago, Pastors dress na him wey clean pass, Pastors house na him wey fine pass, [we] the people dem go dey stay stay for surrounding,

We'd better woken up to the deceit been perpetrated before our very eyes by putting an end to same.

Christ shared with the poor folks he was with in his days, His acclaimed modern day apostles don't practice this as it is self evident from their conduct that they DO NOT SHARE HIS IDEALS.

Easier to point fingers at others! I ask, how many 'poor' have you enriched thier lives today, this week,this month, this year?

Typical,we like to come across as though we care so much about the poor yet we have the 'spirit' of Judas whom the bible recorded spake so often about the poor yet He stole from the money purse ment for the poor!

Why don't you just leave the Pastors to the God they are answerable to?

I thank God for Pastor Chris! I tell ya, He has enriched lives, brought hope to many again by Gods word and God has used him to raise champions for his kingdom of whom 'm one of them.

I leant this from Pastor Chris even when I wasn't a full member of his church and since then my life has never remained the same and I quote with emphasis mine:

"the greatest way to success in life [or the way to succeed in life] is to look out for A HUMAN NEED, reach for it and meet that need!"

Oh how I wish the whole world can grasp that quote and run away with it!

If you ever care to, go get this message by Pastor Chris
"the secret of change by the Word" and do what He revealed of Gods word in there. If your life doesn't change in just 6months then come to me and I will sow £1000 into your life! This is for real and I mean it!

@topic poster;
Only failures envy success, for success celebrates success.

If you were a success, you would care less about another man's works, rather you would focus on building on your success!

The sad truth remains, too many folks ought there have 'poor mind'

kwibus7:
Why Sanusi? its like he has paid u guys to start raising awareness for his bid, if we need a CBN governor to be our President then Soludo is the man, there are a lot of intelligent, reasonable, non-arrogant, unmyopic and unsetimental political stalwarts from the North, why Sanusi? What has he done to make him even think of gunning for presidency? we are talking of the whole of Nigeria, not banks that he can intimidate their CEOs and fire them at will, initiating a ripple effect on our economy in the name of reforms that has lost us jobs and caused untold hardship on nigerians, we complain that Abacha was a dictator, just watch Sanusi's antics and comments, a man who believes that he is not even answerable to the National Assembly, the demi-god of the banking sector, what will happen when such a person with hate for other ethnic groups holds that position of POTFRN? My Brothers and Sisters F, KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK SANUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

For heaven sake Soludo is a failed Economic and bogus regulator, please keep him out of this talk! You do not compare an achiever with a deceiver! Soludo my foot!

danidon:
That will be the greatest mistake of his life. I work in a financial institution and I must tell u that SLS is just being hailed because he is the person there. He has not, does not and will never possess the charm, carriage, popularity and intelligence of Charles Soludo whether you believe it or not, but Politic, especially in our context is far much more than whatever qualities that the poster of this mail think that he has. i bet you, SLS cannot win a house of rep election in his state, and you guys are talking about presidency. Stories

I beg you, do not bring the bogus bank regulator Soludo into this! We have seen enough to decide ourselves which is better!
As for your comment on SLS not been able to win a house of rep seat, I think you really are having a Laugh!!!

SLS has everything going for him with his family history and politics wise as currently engaged in Nigeria especially Northern Nigeria, SLS would have only self destruction to blame.

Again, reading the post script of the last election, it is obvious that the serious political parties in Nigeria today are looking for activist brands like SLS to put forward come 2015!

Beaf:
Step back and take a second look at your post with unbiased eyes. . .

Done that? Noiw one simple question. Do you think campaigning for a candidate while calling up "Islamic this," "CAN that,"  "sharia that" is serious? lol
Why would anybody need to mention anything to do with religion while campaigning to rule a secular country? I guess you will never get it.

If you need religious backup while talking up a candidate for a political post in a secular country, then you simply lack the understanding of matters to do with societal harmony.

Dude, mixing religion and politics is a fools game.
Its what gave us boko haram. Baba Fugu made the clear statement that boko haram started with the imposition of sharia in the North; its "give them an inch, they take a mile".
I don't care how "clever" folk like you polish and paint religious extremism, its just not gonna fly, ever!

Can you wipe your eyes clear for a second?, then go back and all read my post on this topic, comeback and read your post! Utter bullocks.

Your likes are busy trying to rubbish SLS and his like (e.g El Rufai) with a tag of an hardliner/religious extremist simply to perpetuate crooked leadership in Nigeria 'cos thats the only way your existence cab be guaranteed!

4reali:
I have no time to waste on Sanusi anymore. I have gone through your ranting on islamic banking and hasty policies of SLS. I can only look and smile because more sensible and erudite persons have identified the problems with sanusi, both online and offline. Coming here to wrestle with you on these issues is a misplaced priority. All i can say is for sanusi to examine his approach to issues.

I know what your challenge is and of course is almost like a culture in Nigeria.

WE ARE A NATION THAT CELEBRATE MEDIOCRES AND CASTIGATE REAL ACHIEVERS, hence the reason you have the kind of president you have today!

all4naija:
If you were bent on defending this man, I would say your evidences presented here are found wanting. There are sections of the society that will have those views you presented. Yet, in the case of the Islamic Banking policy the majority demand was different and well thought out. Do you mean he needn't listen to the voice of the masses? If that was to be the case, he is not fit to be the president of Nigeria.

On which Poll are you basing your conclusion that Majority of Nigerians rejected Islamic banking?

In fact, what you fail to concur on is that SLS was not the person who brought the banking practice to Nigeria. It's been there! To counter igno ignos like CAN, the CBN leadership is a board membership in which is sat christians who are even Reverend! Hence, they ought to be the one crying high heaven rather, it was even one of the reverends that drafted the guidelines onbehalf of CBN!

I ask, tell me what ETHICAL BANKING is all about and enumerate how the present CBN version defers!

4reali:
I think you too need to understand something here. It's not about religion or ethnicity, it's more of individual and personality thing. Sanusi appears very imposing and egocentric.That is the problem. Writing tons of articles about him does not suggest you know him.

Talking about ethnicity and religion. At least we have had more northern muslims as presidents and leaders of the Nigerian entity than we have of Christians and yet heaven was not let loose.

Yaradua, was voted by both northern and south christians and muslims. He contested with a fellow muslim from the north and won. I personally voted for him.

My advise is that sanusi should review his approach to issues and events. No matter how intelligent sanusi might appear, he can't be more intelligent than all Nigerians put together.

Can I throw the ball on your court and ask you to give us an example of SLS's action in recent past as CBN that you think was forceful as you alledge in your post and offer a better way SLS should have done it better! , 'm itching to read your post.

Beaf:
In one mouthful, you mention Islamic banking, in another you mention that you are a Christian, in yet another to talk about CAN. If you cannot see that your whole message is divisive and a sad attempt to mix oil and water, then you really can't be helped.

Mixing politics and religion is a task for clowns and fools.

Excuse me to exercise your idle brain abit, yep, agree?

Islamic banking (as mofos like you who have been brain washed and granite dried by CAN) puts it is complete igno igno! It is just a concept, borrowed from Islam and so many other religions, which smart minds have seen as a big business now and in the future yet be. It's simply called "ETHICAL BANKING" and if you care to know, ethical banking far predates SLS's era as CBN and even Soludo made efforts to encourage Nigerian banks to key into this global 'honey pot' of which countries like the USA, UK are already milking billions from!  

I ask you, what is wrong in getting Nigerian banks to buy into a venture that has massive potentials to advance our growth and development as a nation?

Instead of your likes and CAN spewing nonsense, why not educate Nigerians on what Islamic/Ethical banking is really all about and let Nigerians examine for themselves if what the CBN is trying to implement or encourage Nigerians banks to do is "Sharia banking" as you people falsely proclaim!

Again, SLS remains a fine breed who in the face of despots has boldly taken decisions which Nigerians (knownly or unknownly) are benefitting from!

I hope you and CAN will also call the "cashlesd Economy" drive by the CBN led by SLS as "Islamic"! Ignorance on rampage!

all4naija:
No! No! Another thing, he never listened to the voice of the people. He is a dictator by nature who would like to force his ideas on people -he would go any length to do that.

Since He was made CBN governor, I fail to see how SLS in his call of duty has acted like a dictator! Not even CAN! At least, we have seen a number of SLS lead CBN Board decisions been tested in the court of Law and so far none has been found wanting in Law at least to my knowledge -Educate me if you know of any, 'm willing to learn some more

The fact that some of his proposals seems radical does not make him a dictator.

In todays Nigeria, if any leadership is ever going to succeed in bringing positive developmental and growth change to Nigeria and Nigerians, that leadership will need to be 60% democratic and 40% dictatorial, and thats exactly what I can see in SLS, Fashola, Ameachi and what is lacking in GEJ!

Funny how we Southerners always claim the Northerns have this 'born to rule' mentality when in fact we are the biggest hypo at that! Go and study Nigeria's history again, maybe, just maybe you lots will realized that in actual fact, every part of Nigeria has one time or the other produced 'rogue elites' whose far reaching ambition was  enrich thier pockets at the detriments of Nigeria!

Hence the real issue is not where the man/woman is from rather what has he/she delivered to Nigeria in the past that we can use to measure his/her ability to take Nigeria to a new phase. If this was done during the last election, we wouldn't have ended up with GEJ who could not even complete a Library complex, bridges, hospitals/health centers his boss started even after spending 12months in office!

Sanusi no doubt is amongst the very few fine breeds of true Nigerians left.

A straight forward down to earth technocrat that knows his onions!Those who hate him 'cos of Islamic banking, I recommend you go get the DVD on Sanusi's lecture to house of reps member on the issue.

As a christian myself, I distance myself from the stance of CAN and CAN President on the issue of Islamic banking! Smacks of common sense and ignorance to say the least.

Sad to read same ethnic and religious comments made about Ribadu and Buhari before the election and today we have a 'one degree of freedom' commander in chief who least looks like a village chief head!

Beaf:
The day Sanusi or any other sharia inspired clown becomes president is the day I join others in the creeks to fight for independence from Nigeria.

https://www.informationnigeria.org/cdn/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/mend-gunman21.jpg?9d7bd4

You are the least shameless ethnic bigot and blind followership mofo I expect to comment on presidential material/candidates to rule Nigeria!

Sanusi, by far has been more useful to Nigeria and Nigerians than the GEJ!

Sometimes I ask myself this question: Are Nigerians for real?

How on earth will someone be asking what has Sanusi achieved as CBN governor?

Again why will a people choose to believe CAN on islamic banking and fail to understand that this is JUST a name just like Obama proposed tax on the wealthy American is code name 'Buffet Rule'. UK, US and even France that have passed laws against islam currently is enjoying the ethical banking 'milk and honey' pot code name 'Islamic banking'

@topic, it is high time we do away with politics of individual and move on to politics of institution.

Sanusi maybe a good presidential material, but then I ask,who are those that make his inner circle of associates that can or will influence him? GEJ is case bad example in mind! Seemingly good intentions in speech, highly badly influenced in action by inner circle associates to the detriment of Nigerians. If you ask me, my presidential candidate strictly based on thier past devotion to call of nigerian duty would be;

1.El Rufai
2.Fashola
3.Donald Duke
4.Ngozi. O. Iweala
5.Rotimi Ameachi

Yet they won't leave the dirty VI and now Lekki, BR for us to enjoy! For me I do not give a kobo what these foriegn pen pushers think or write about Lagos or any other Nigerian city. They are hypo hypo, go to London and see things for yourself! Or ever wonder why they always show you SW1 on your Sat tvs? Or do they think we are blind to the US too? Aljazeera will show you more.

Next topi,

@poster,
If you can, buy Emirates oneway from LOS to LHR with dubai stop over/connection.

Depart Lagos 2.15pm, arrive Dubai 1.05am, Depart Dubai 2.15am arrive Heathrow 7.05am. All for less than £700!

feel so humbled reading through this thread! Kudos to the originator of the idea and those who have subscribed so far.My eyes are wild open and watching keenly.

C,C++ are my domain, so not so sure I really fit into the project- kinda sad though!

I KNOW IT IS STILL EARLY DAYS, however since someone has raised the question, just thought I should suggest thus: As per historical/cultural contents, the Federal Ministry of Information NIGERIA @50 compandioum would definately come handy!

Great and bold initiative and I commend all involved!

APGA is an ethnic party based ONLY in the South East whose fortunes can ONLY swell in the south east and no other!

Even if all the ibos in Lagos vote APGA, they still will not win a single seat, if in doubt go ask Jega and his 'excel macro of wonders'

What about PPA, are they planning on taking over Ogun too

APGA is of no relevance in Lagos politicks,

Isiri:
@ Omo Tier, thanks so much.well,i was refused by Uk base on two account. That my salary does not reflect on my account and my marriage cert might be forgery.that i did not have right to appeal.of which the both claimed was not true and someone help me do review and they reply with the same excused

Germany refused me because i did not include my marriage cert,

Now i wanted to apply for UK tourist visa . Am seeking your advice if i should go ahead or if there are some info u could help me with.thanks sir

very much concerned you mentioned forgery as one of the reasons for refual.

Please can you post the whole refusal letter blanking out any personal details. Case of forgery usually attract a ban by UKBA, hence the reason I asked you to upload or type word for word the ECO refusal notice.

or if you can, e-mail BHC Abuja to findout if you have been banned and they will gladly reply you.

This is like a begger whos physically malnourished yet is giving away his cheese and pickel sandwich!

This is a devil's hotdog and I hope our leaders reject it and serve them 'squeeky bum saussages' instead!

she can set the WR as the first First lady bumper , Akoka grama skool

Isiri:
Please can anybody advice me on this.i apply for UK and GERMANY VISA last yr and i was both refused.i want to know if i can apply for GERMANY VISA this yr and what are my chance like. i will be glad if u anybody can help me out with my question.thanks

Mind sharing with us the reasons given for your refusals by the german and UK embassies. Thats the only way we can assist with sincere opinion/views.

Very stupid article. Beaf as usual displaying your stupidity!

Just curious why on earth was the chat recorded and not broadcasted live? I was amazed when I saw the chat and no sign that it was live! Could the insecurity in Abuja be the reason?

Why was the questions rushed? As it appeared as though the chat was a last minute arrangement!

Seriously I was dissapointed with both the quality of questions asked by the so called journalist and the response provide by GEJ!

oh, what an accidental President! Reasons given to butress his propsals are so vague and unconvincing!

One question I kept asking myself while watching the interview yesterday was simply this:IS THIS HOW LOW LEADERSHIP IN NIGERIA CAN GET OR SHOULD WE EXPECT IT TO DESCEND MUCH LOWER?

90% answers GEJ gave throughtout the interview did not reflect of someone who is the C-in-C,it was more like a beer palour talk for goodness sake! No specifics, no action plan/date, was always we will, are looking into, ontop of the situation,blah blah,  I expected to hear comments that send reassuring hope and resurrecting believe into the average Nigerian!

Still, I pray GEJ succeed!

I do not know if you have visited any police station in Nigeria in wee hours or late in the evenings or had the cause to be trapped on Nigeria's motorway with police officers at check point. They smell alcohol! Tell me how a man who waste himself with alcohol with the extreme conditions in Nigeria will ever look fresh?

I have been opportuned to meet a police check point on the motorway to Abuja and the officer was with an AK47 riffle drunk to stupor at about 11.30am! This was during the period Niger delta militants threaten to blow up Abuja,

I would better expend my activism for complete overhaul of the NPF with next generation kits and gagetary plus equipment. Also, I think the era of street recruits for the police should be put behinde us! Any body wishing to join the NPF should be made to attend the NPF College for a minimum of three years! This will equip them thoroughly with modern challenges to policing, as well as sharpening thier skills.

Go take a stock of most of the officers misbehaving on the street and you will be amaze at thier level of Education.

Also, I strongly believe the era of police officers been housed in the barracks should be put behind us! Housing should ONLY be provided for those attending the police college just like you would expect university to provide accommodation/dorm for university students.

In summary, the NPF guy you talked about in the pic is likely an addict smoker, womanizer, a drunk and a spendrift! Again, the curse of thier bribe taken can not be ignored in its entirety!

oljacobs:
Many thanks for your input. I plan to stay 2 weeks max, why I want a 2 yr multiple entry visa is so I dont have to apply again next year. As per accomodation, that is not an issue. I have a place to stay.

Apply for 6months, 2yrs is usually issued after you have been issued 6months multiple and there is ample evidence you are regualar visitor/'holidayer' to the UK (usually 2 to 3 trips)

If you have a personal account in excess of N450000 to cover flight and self maintenance during your trip, then use a family invitation with a surety of accommodation by your invitee. Make sure your salary can be traced to your account in form of monthly deposits. Do not make the mistake of dumping money into the account just to sure it up! ECO will give you the "On the balance of probability" pudding!!!

Hope in your previous 7yrs UK study you actually did not violet your visas regulation in anyway! Though this mostly affect those applying for long term holiday working visas/skilled worker.

who told you they are not well paid? Do you know the take home pay of the average Nigeria Police Force Officer is higher than that of Public school teachers and nurses?

The truth be told that the average NPF officer is a glorified criminal and a disgruntled element of obtuse nature!

With the extortion witness by Nigerians in the hands of the vast majority of NPF officers, I do not think they deserve better than what they are currently saddled with!

This is akin to man who has not been able to complete a BQ since laying the foundation and is talking of Mansion de chetau with bath steamers in every room
Pure fantasy!

For me what matter most for a Master's degree is the content and the broad nature of the course of study.

Personally, from experience, I would recommend Academic masters over professional (industrial)Masters especially in the area of IT & Engineering.

Academic masters gives you that broad knowledge you require to become a 'leader' in your field and more recently in the UK, Academic Masters have been rejigged to have atleast 20% management + 60% Technical + 20% group simulated activity.This no doubt gives you the flexibility you need to be able to negotiate your professional progression.

However, it all boils down to why you need the Masters degree. I know too well in Nigeria, degrees are mainly for monetary reward as in position to be occupied rather than the quest for the individual to broaden knowledge and develop technical competence or otherwise.
