₦airaland Forum

As far as I'm concerned on this matter, it's only those folks who had passed through the Polytechnic system of education and then the University that can speak on this matter.

I have a friend who passed through both systems of education in flying colours - OND, Distinction, HND, Distinction and B.Eng, First Class Honours. I will email him and hear his view. All other views are useless, except they tow the line stated above.

Chikena.

This 'place' is very hot with differing views and opinions.

I have been reading and reading and reading. Wow!!
Em, if you know say you like one man, as a lady, go to God in prayers and tell God to help you direct the guy to you. That na if you know say you wan marry the guy. Every other intention is evil. Simple as abc. Chikena!

My friend say this kind place no dey good for me. He say make I face the Politics section.

I'm beginning to see a repeat of Alams 'frameup' in this Ladoja's Case o. Could you believe that Ladoja has bank accounts in London too?
Read the hyperlink above.

My people, ehn, ehn, I don talk this thing before. This country is confusing me everyday, abi na I dey confuse for the country everyday.

Make una hear Col. Ahmadu Ali's response to an interview granted recently:

“Ibadan is a military garrison, you must obey orders. If you are not going to take orders, don’t join the forces. So, the present strongman in Ibadan, Alhaji Lamidi Adedibu, is no exception. He has come, it is his turn, Ladoja should be able to take command from him. If that condition is not acceptable to you, don’t accept the job. This is the way I see Ibadan politics”

“I am hoping that I will be able to broker a ‘sort of peace’. I say sort of peace because to broker peace in Ibadan in the present circumstance is actually kowtowing to the wishes of Adedibu, which is inevitable”.


And from Vanguard editorial:
This position clearly places Commander Adedibu above the governor. There are no chances that the rule of law would be used in resolving the Oyo conflict.



Mai people, how una see this kind thing for we country?

Mai brother, I did not know that I used that name. prepaidNG abeg no vex. And no mind yemstrad o. It's just that recharge card came to my mind while I was replying to your entry. Sorry bo.

I just hope all these their conference resolutions are not on paper. They look pretty OK.

That Diploma holders are having a tough time out there is no news. I want nairalanders to help tell us what's the probs with HND. Why the disparity even when a lot of lecturers claim they are at par.

Let the replies flow.

Recharge Card,
See, I'm not saying that I have not read all these good things these folks have done. Aside from Akunyili & Soludo, all the other folks perform only on paper. All these debt forgiveness thing is still on paper! They are good, but, with a pinch of salt! I mean, I have to be very careful with all these good people. How on earth could they be dining and wining with evil chaps around and not be soiled?

Abeg leave that Rice woman. She has enough on her hands for now at Iraq and Middle East. If she responds positively (you nave not said so though) to Okonjo, it's because there's some juicy things coming from Nigeria. Maybe some coins to help fund US interest in Iraq!

Have you read the entry by Alheri? Her sister was in the thick of the finance ministry. She was there when truckloads of cash exchanged hands and nothing was done to stop them. In fact they were told to be silent on the matter.

By my nature, I don't swallow any news I hear just like that. I do 360 deg view on sensitive national issues. That's why I'm very skeptical about this debt relief thing. In fact the thing dey worry me. E fit be say them don sell all of us now and we no know jack! Chineke God! Help us o and deliver us from people with ''tuface''

I think we should look at the finance minister's cupboard too. She might have some skeletons there. I for once have never trusted her one bit.

You know, one House of Rep. member had to shut OBJ up when he was presenting year 2006 budget at the NA. Reason: OBJ has never, since the inception of his administration, implemented any of his budgets to the letter during any fiscal year. He just comes around to read to the lawmakers his budget proposals and that's all. He goes back to do as he pleases. And that's under the watchful eyes of Mrs. Okonjo. I bet she's enjoying the show. In civilised economy, she would have resigned her appointment for the singular reason that the President does not implement budgets drawn out by her ministry and agreed to by all concerned.


Aside from this, Okonjo earns fat pay amongst the ministers in Abuja. What manner of person, who has the interest of her nation at heart, will want to collect her salaries in dollars? Does this not smack of an Apostle of the World bank in disguise? She might be a Nigerian, but, who does not know that many Nigerian can change their identity at anytime ''T'' especially for someone who has risen to the level Mrs. Okonjo got to in life? She's just here on a sojourn. She'll get back to NY and start cooling off after taking a lot of loot with her. God have mercy on us!

My people, this is today's Vanguard editorial. The high and mighty in the land have started projecting billions for 2006 since last year. But the ordinary man in the street cannot walk on well tarred road, no food to eat, educational sector is comatose, health? well, I hear most of our hospitals are actually morgues in disguise - since 1999!

Them say FG own na in trillions! boy o boy! Make small reach man pickin now.

My body dey hot badly, and I think you people (Owo, Conscience, etc etc) fit help cool me down.......by firing all these thieves in high places come 2007.


Na Ono post this entry from Warri.

Otito, if u must know, there are a lot of folks out there with their minds running pretty wild with ideas on adding values to all those things u've listed.

I don't know how to put this, but our so-called leaders, looters, really, are responsible for most (90%) of our woes. I will continue to pray to God for good leaders, and that if there are none, Himself (God) should come and lead us in this country. The remaining 10% lies with us.

I want to make a clarion call to all the folks on this forum to go out there - do not be timid, do not be afraid of doing the right thing, and if u know you're with us on this sanitisation of our political landscape, then get ready to vote OUT evil men from our lands in 2007.

Someone said don't ask the Lord to guide your footsteps if you are not willing to move your feet. We've got to go all out and VOTE the right folks in the right place. When God sees that we're really willing to get good leaders He'll help us put the right person there.

But a situation where we only talk and talk about good leaders, leadership, and then we go home and meet the evil folks at night and strategise on how to defraud the land the more- just like OBJ's doing, will not help free us from the doldrums we're currently in. We have to fight corruption with all our hearts and soul and spirits. Then will the Lord hear from heaven and heal our lands.

And we got married, Ist October 2005.

I want to encourage every young man out there to tow the line. It's the best. What with this AIDS ravaged world of ours? why would you want to learn and get any sexual experience before getting married? It takes only 30 -40 minutes to learn all there is. I'm talking from experience.

It's a lifelong thing though, but, there's really nothing much to sex, than the coming together of MAN AND WIFE for pleasure and procreation. Please note MAN AND WIFE. That pleasure angle to it could mean all the jargons the psychologists attached to sex, for all I care. But, it's just pleasure. But the second thing is procreation, and that's all there is to sex. Chikena.

Why make life so complex for simple people?

Geez! This is the first time I'm making an entry on this romance page. All this whille it's been politics and nothing else.

Em, I was a vigin until I met the lady of my dreams.

Alheri, you mean Akolawole's optimism about OBJ and Nigeria? No mind am. E fit be say him dey get some kobokobo contract from OBJ. I wish him luck in his foray into the unknown. Maybe na SSS man sef. Man must be very careful on this forum o!

Kola, no vex o. I just dey joke. You have tried to make me believe in OBJ. But, sorry o, I don't believe in the man again. Not after IBB visited him in his chicken farm at Ota and came out boasting that he's one of those who can see OBJ at anytime, and that he has access to where ever OBJ is at anytime ''T''
Hear IBB ''I have been one of the privileged persons in the country that are currently accessible to him (the president. I can talk to him. I can discuss with him on anything that touches the government of the country"

Now, tell me, what will a corruption fighter be doing at anytime with a guy like IBB - the world acclaimed most corrupt leader and Maradona of Nigerian politics, in this day and age? This is the IBB that Femi Fani-kayode, the basketmouth of OBJ, whitewashed recently. Don't you smell fish in the way this country is being run? My brother pls have a rethink on this OBJ guy.

Kola,
Em, make u no vex. The ''ojoro'' in this our country don dey too much. All de thing wey I dey see na fraud. How in the world do you want me to believe that all these people are clean.

OBJ is surrounded by some ''good'' people. I bet he did that as a kind of smokescreen to cover the many evil he's into. Y'know, our 'leaders' keep on using different tricks to fool us commoners daily. So, I think his grandplan is to parade all these so called good folks and make people believe that's he's into something good for this country. But, reading thru Alheri's entry on her sister' activities in the finance ministry, methink that we've got to take a closer look at all those debt relief and other shit Mrs Okonjo is into.

FYI, a lot of fake drugs are still in circulation. At a stage, I thought it's even the good ones they are destroying so that they can sell the fake ones. Akunyili meant well for our people. God help her in the midst of all these wolves. And I hope she's really clean, wining and dining with evil people.


Kola, no mind my outbursts at times. These stories get on my nerves sometimes and I feel like....gosh! Whew!

Alheri, could you please tell us more on the activities of that rotund woman called Okonjo-Iweala? Y'know, all this while, I've been a bit skeptical about her ministry. She could be a front for OBJ. All these her laudable achievements, men, I'm a pessimist when it comes to this our country, Nigeria.

I don't believe any good can come out of anything evil. As long as OBJ is on that Aso seat, all the folks with him over there (including saints and sinners alike) are evil. Evil begets evil. Simple.

My people, we have to be wary of all these people who are winning international awards here and there. You may not fully agree with me, but, as for me, I do not believe in them

Well, as for me, I'm NOT corrupt. You may be, but I'm NOT! And because I'm not, I will join the league of those clean people in this country to chase out all the rotten tomatoes in power in our country.

And if the worst comes to the worst and this country is broken up, my people in the Niger Delta will keep their own. We will chase out all those carrying our money with trucks and trailers in Abuja from our lands.

I have said it before now, and I will repeat it anywhere, that OBJ is the most corrupt president in the world.

If u are so good at working out what Delta produced and contributed to the National Purse, then, I expect you to be able to work out what Ogun State has contributed too, my friend. Seems to me that you are a PE (Petroleum Engineer).

Please work it out. All you need do is to go to the state's Finance Ministry. At least I know of Agbara industrial area. And I hear it's booming with business activities now. So, something must be coming from Ogun too, abi?

You can leave out the Niger Delta states of Bayelsa, Rivers and Akwa-ibom.

So, please tell me what has the other components of our lopsided Federation contributed to the common purse? Abi na to just dey go Abuja to go share the national cake una sabi do? That Cake go soon choke una for throat, if una no leave am. E don even start sef. Pipelines don dey blow!

We're watching and waiting.

Yep! Thank you very much for the correction. I actually meant 5 trillion naira from the inception of the civilian administration to date. That is 1999 - 2005. At least, that's what the Former Commissioner of Finance, Delta State, Dr. David Edevbie said. And that's a good enough source.

So, what did the other components of the country - including Ogun State, contribute to the national purse?

@Akolawole, you are right, at least the third term thing is purported.

And often times when OBJ's on air, I don't understand him. No be say I no dey speak pidgin english o, in fact Warri is generally regarded as the headquarters of pidgin english in Nigeria, but OBJ's pidgin english na from Ota Farms, where only the chikens there understand him. In that regard, you are right.

I generally don't listen to him until his statements have been interpreted by the local dailies - and that's after rigorous QA/QC to be sure that's what statement he actually made.

All I know is what the constitution expects of him. It is true that anything can happen in this country of ours. But OBJ must respect what the constitution says.

After serving for two terms, a serving president must go back home. OBJ once said his ''chickens are missing him'' at his Otta Farms and he wants to go and take care of them. He should go back to them. They will gladly welcome him back. It's only a dishonest and corrupt man that will not stand by his words. Let him abide by the constitution. That is all I have to say.

e fit be say the 'grass' na 'elephant grass' .

We have to really take a look at the type of grass in question. Y'know, there's are some type of grass wey be say them fit kill person when you cut am with matchette....kind of forbidden grass. Maybe na dat kind of grass wey dem go cut. Na im make wey the money take plenty like that.

Em, that na my own view on this matter!

Marwa wants to be President in 2007 by all means. He's not ''seen to be loyal to OBJ'' Hence, the NEED for EFCC to chase him a while to see if he'll repent and follow the bandwagon of third-term bidders. Chikena!

It seems you do not understand us. Let our Governors steal everything that comes to our state - if that's really true, I'm yet to see it in Warri, because Ibori has done very well here in Delta State even though some folks say he's stealing the state's money. We like it that way than to allow a clique in foreign lands to come here and pauperise us the more.

Leave our governors alone. The bad ones among them will be punished by our people when the time comes, besides, it's better that they stole now and still remember home in the end. A lot of our brothers will still benefit from their loot, or who else do you think they will want to help with it?

Let the Federal Government account for the remaining 87% - since 1958. How much has the components states in the country contributed to the national purse since 1958? Delta State alone contributed some 5 trillion naira to the Federal coffers in 2004! How much did Ogun State contribute? Abeg, make una go siddon!

Seun, abeg, just chill jo! How many Niger Delta children wey Federal Authorities don kill in the Delta since 1958, when crude oil was discovered in commercial quantities in Oloibiri, in present day Bayelsa state? Not even children only, the blood of Ken Saro Wiwa, Adaka Boro etc etc are crying for justice. Even the land use act decree of 1978 is still in force not because the law was meant to protect the interest of everyone, but to perpetuate the milking of the Niger Delta lands.

This justice demands that everyone should concentrate on their Godgiven resources (Cocoa, Groundnut Pyramids, Onions, Hides and skin, rubber, palm produce, tomato, tin, coal, limestone, gold, etc etc, which the almighty God in his infinite wisdom has bestowed on this country) and harness them for the good of all rather than waiting for crude oil money from the delta to be shared by a large chunk of those who do not even know what the colour of crude oil is at Abuja. Abuja is what it is today because crude oil money was pumped, and is still being pumped there to maintain it. Pump all that money into Warri, Yenagoa, PortHarcourt, Uyo, and Calabar economy and see the U turn in our fortunes.

All these your 'concern' for dead kids smacks of crocodile tears for all I care. You are even weeping more than the bereaved! Na wa o!

Those of us who have managed to survive the onslaught on our lands by successive administration of this failed country called Nigeria will not stop until justice is done and 'is seen' to be done.

I will not vote.

I just dream of the day when the Delta people will not need anybody - FG & US military or any other body, to fashion out what's good for them.

All these entries talking about how to help develop the Niger Delta people make me sick. It sounds as if the Niger Delta people are morons, and do not know what's good for them. But we all know that this is far from the truth.

I'd rather deal with a 'thieving Niger Delta Brothers' who, when Nemesis eventually catches up with them will remember home - like Alams did by going to Amassoma, rather than some outsiders, who will eventually use the proceeds of their loots to benefit their generations yet unborn!

The devil you know, and live with, is better than some strange angels in far away lands.

Otokx, Conscience,
I greet una. There's nothing like starting from somewhere in fighting corruption. It's either you are against corruption, and you are seen to be doing just that, or you are for it. There's nothing like sitting on the fence and eating from both sides. OBJ is sitting on the fence. I have said it time and again on this forum that OBJ is a corrupt man.

He has dined with the devil, his hands are soiled with blood. The bloods of the Opposition. What with the lives of the slain AGF - Chief Bola Ige. Where are the culprits fingered in the murder case of the man? Sen. Iyiola Omisore was elected while he was in prison. Former PDP Deputy Chairman South South, Dikibo was slain by gunmen, his killers are yet to be unmasked. What type of corruption fighter will admit the likes of Chris Uba as party member - sorry, chieftain, even when the guy confessed that he rigged the election in Anambra in 2003?

All these Balogun and Afolabi talks do not move me an inch. Those guys fell out of favour with OBJ. When the going was good for years and the boys were delivering as promise, EFCC did not go after them. We all know how brutal OBJ can be with anybody who crossed his paths.

Is it not strange that Tony Blair did not reply OBJ's letter on Alams escape. Maybe, he replied OBJ, in private, why did he (OBJ) not release it to the public for all to read? I bet it was not palatable.

Otokx, Conscience, those who tell the truth hardly get any support in this world. The truth is bitter, but we must tell it as it is. More grease to your elbow.

So, what's the difference btw blowing up oil pipelines in the Delta in order to make a 'statement' and killing lawmakers and causing chaos in Ibadan thereby making another ''statement''. To me folks, this shows that ALL IS NOT WELL WITH THIS COUNTRY.

Movie?......u haven't seen any movie yet. Just wait for 2006. There's a lot of action-packed, highly charged, thrilling serial movies coming up! This one's just the tip of the iceberg.... U ain't seen nuttin yet! Wow!
