When will you guys learn that problem with Nigeria is not lack of technology, experts etc.

It is simply a set of people that 'wait' for GOD all the time.

Mr Obasanjo spent $10billion and result is ZERO.

Bring your solar, nuclear technology, the next Mr President will still spend another $10billion and you wont see result!

Until we follow 'developed countries' examples(wipe out the people that stops you), we will never progress!

did you see $60 or $16 billion above.

Do you know that money alone will turn NIGERIA around, not just electricity?

Do you KNOW that the WEST were so happy to collect $12billion cash and forgo the remaining debt we own them?

That shows you what an ENORMOUS amount of money $16billion is.

Segun Adeniyi is a successful journalist who was called by the number one citizen of the country to come serve his contry.

Obviously, you never read his columns in Thisday.

otherwise, it would be clear to you that Segun is just another looser that deceive Nigerians for too long.

We all know how Yaradua was selected and how this has destroyed many poor Nigerians, same Nigerians that Segun pretends to be fighting for in his column.

These are people of yesterday.

They are the really axis of evil.

Only a moribound country like NIGERIA will give such people a voice.

They were both in government for so long but of what benefit then were they for Nigeria?

useless idiots.

Most vexious that Thisday will mingel with such EVIL people.

Miss Rice does not deserve any notice.

She has no crediblity. QED.

Only a stupid country like Nigeria gives such 'useless evil woman' a voice.

She belongs, just like her master to rubbish of history!

Sad but this will continue to be reality of LIFE in Nigeria!

Electricity will NEVER be constant in Nigeria for the foreseeable future.

Nigeria had the opportunity but Mr Obasanjo spent $16, 000, 0000, 000. 00 to give us darkness.

Same Mr Obasanjo still walks around as a free man.

How do you expect any new government official to LEARN you dont f**k with lives of Nigerian?

As sick as the whole incident may be,in reality uk jail is far better than average life style and habitations in places like lagos slums or any other nigerian city slums.

are you saying he Killed the baby to go Prison?

Nigerian Olusola Akinrele saw tiny Leeya as his ticket to avoiding deportation, a judge said yesterday.

The statement has no meaning! If he saw her as ticket to remain so why kill her?

On December 18 2006, the baby's father was alone upstairs with his daughter when he carried out the attack that killed her.

The judge said: 'The attack must have taken the form of either violent shaking or throwing the child down hard.

Where is the hard evidence beyond reasonable doubt he actually killed or intended to kill the baby?

When will Nigerians always ask hard questions and get answers?

Sadly, this is why Nigeria never progresses. Ask questions!

Have you never heared of 'shaken baby sydrome':

Shaken baby syndrome is the term that is used to describe a form of child abuse caused by vigorously shaking an infant, often in anger, to get a child to stop crying or whining. It usually occurs in children less than 1 year of age, and the violent shaking often results in severe and permanent brain injury, spinal-cord injuries, bleeding in the eyes (retinal hemorrhages), and even death.

Foremost, there is no LAW in Nigeria that say you cannot marry your brother or sister, mother, father.

The only wrong  thing they did was to forge 'bank statement.'

That said, nothing new.

Israelis just forge British passports to carry out murder.

thats just the way it is.

Tja, what do you expect?

This is Nigeria.

The land of the cowards.

The land will evil rules over good.

How does killing the daughter will allow him to remain?

or am I missing something.

oyb:
if the guy was a southerner, some people would be claiming that he is the 'father of the modern car'

well nothing new.

AMERICANS claim they went to the moon just to spike Russian.

Only you can blow your own trumpet loudest!

Afam:
This means that the media propaganda by the Western nations about the real state of the Zimbabwean economy remains a lie otherwise while would foreigners still be doing business in that country to the extent that a nationalization policy is being used to acquire them.

I don't have a problem with any country who may have been shortchanged in the past trying to take care of its citizens first before others. If Nigeria could do this things will be a lot better for Nigeria and Nigerians.

Thats exactly my thoughts.

anyway, we need Nigeria Embassy or Nigerians in that country to confirm this news.

And ofcourse, we should not forget that Mr Obasanjo sold out to British Queen when he and Australia president agreed to explusion of Zim from commonwealth.

This has always being my point.

Nigerians should learn from this; to progress we need to KILL all those that stop us.

Americans did not pray to God in 1945, they drop atomic bomb on helpless Japs!

Isrealis did not go Synagogue to pray, they got fake-passport and kill their enermies!

When are we going to kill all those 'stealing NIGERIA dry'?

But instead we always go to church and pray. Useless country!

Tracing the political history of our great nation, filled with great people (Spirit of Rebranding), can we say Fmr. President Olusegun Obasamjo is really bad.

well is either you dont read the news!

Mr Obasanjo is surely worse than Hilter!

Hitler did NOT kill his OWN people! He never killed GERMANS!

Mr Obasanjo wiped-out the entired village of ODI in 2000. He gave Nigeria Military the command to kill any living thing in that village!

Mr Obasanjo sold the people of Bakassi to their untimely death by handing them over to Cameroun

Mr Obasanjo killed as many IGBO as possible on the idea of One-Nigeria.

He spent $10billion to buy more DARKNESS to Nigerians.

He is the most famous 'mass-murder' in Nigeria!

The minimum that is expected is for Danjuma and his family be wiped-out.

The next guys will think twice before 'stealing' Nigeria blind.

This is way China is making progress and Nigeria is going backward.

MEND sadly are after their own pocket!

I've been wondering where Segun Adeniyi has been since all the brouhaha about the Health of Yar Adua.
This Guy used to be very vociverous at THISDAY newspapers, but he has been very quite of late - thought he was supposed to be the mouthpiece of the offshore president. Not a single word from him - Its quite Alarming.
Anybody knows where he is ?

Segun has rubbished the little left of his reputation.

He belongs to rubbish of history like his pay masters.

At the Polytechnic, as he always did, he graduated on top of his class. “Best” has no competition. Upon graduation, “Jelani worked for a while at the Ministry of Works, Sokoto, and then in 1990, gained admission in the College for Creative Studies, Detroit, Michigan, to study Automobile Design. Having successfully secured sponsorship from the Sokoto Scholarship Board” .

how come all the NORTH Big shots did not celebrate their OWN?

with our stolen money, they could have asked him to DESIGN A CAR for them.

What a nation!

I can bet everything I have on this.

In another 6months, same thing will happen in another city.

We never seem to have the capacity to provide 'simple measures' to prevent re-occurence of a disaster!

Even 'Gorilla' in the bush is a bit better than us, Nigerians!

Common guys, how do you expect these folks to do something when they are not part of ugly way of life of the average Nigerian. How long should these foreigners continue to rule you? And you are here complaining in vain daily

GBOSA!!!

That is why I will write again: Nigerians deserve the leaders they got.

Until you wipe-out the people that pull you down, you wont make any progress.

Meanwhile, our correspondent gathered that the entire Federal Executive Council may be dissolved next week.

A highly-placed Presidency source disclosed on Thursday that the Ag. President Jonathan may have decided to constitute a new cabinet after an extensive consultation with various stakeholders. The move, it was learnt, would aim at removing cabinet members suspected of divided loyalty, and to inject new blood into government machinery.

let us keep fingers crosssed.

After last wednesday FEC meeting when Goodluck Jonathan has assumed office as acting president, Mr Aondoakaa during his interview with newsmen after the meeting still referred to Jonathan Goodluck as Vice President. House what do you think of this, do you think he will be loyal to this government?

Good Luck is still the Vice President while Yaradua is President.

“One of the cardinal commitments of this administration is our commitment to Good Governance, Accountability and Transparency. We shall continue to pursue these policy objectives with all the seriousness they deserve. In particular, the war against corruption will be prosecuted more robustly. We will therefore strengthen the capacity of the anti-corruption agencies and give them a free hand to prosecute the anti corruption war.”

GoodLuck should tell us how his wife got $2,000,000.00 she was caught with by EFCC in 2007.

The problem with Nigeria; we forget things easily and we dont ask QUESTIONS!

DId you offer to buy any of the banks and your bid was rejected?
If the man called guys from Dubai he is selling to Muslims, He is
selling to Oyibo, wh ,may probably be Christians and he is a fool.

You Mr. Al pacino are the fool. Why have a grouse on a sale that
you did not or were not in a probably in a position to bid for either
for lack of resources or whatever ?

who is Sanusi to sell what he did not build?

I know for a fact, Intercontinental was built from scratch by hand-working Nigerians way back in 1996 with then Equity Bank.

where was Sanusi?

If the shareholders are not happy, they can take action.

Sanusi jobs is not to sell any banks but to regulate the financial industry.

Sell/buy banks is business of the public and shareholders.

Nigerians deserve what they get when DONT STAND-UP for their RIGHTs.

President Goodluck. Now is the time to let your goodluck rub off millions of Nigerians by tackling the problems facing Nigeria without fear or favour.

sorry to disappoint you.

It wont happen. You know why?

He was put their not by NIGERIANS but by his GODFATHERS.

He rub the goodluck on those people first!

Do you know why state governors are desperate to ensure that Vice President, Goodluck Jonathan, is sworn-in as Acting President? They want Jonathan constitutionally empowered so that he can order the sharing of $6.5 billion excess crude oil revenue accruing to the states.

I knew there is something behind the move.

Poor Nigerians. The time for them to speak-up again is here but they cannot look deep and see the Governors + GoodLuck + Yaradua are no good for their future!

Do not copy and paste from wikipedia without cross checking or re calculating. N295,304,420 is actually about $2,000,000 and not what u posted above.

where is the $2,000,000.00 his wife stolen from Bayelsa in 2007?

She was caught by EFCC in MM airport!

This man's star surely has God's hands on it and its really shining bright. I am convinced his parents must have prayed fervently to God asking what name to give to him when he was born

Crap. It has Mr Obasanjo's hand in it. Go back and follow the political process!

Stop bring GOD's name into it.

I guess those that were killed by Police and Armed was also God's hands or lack of God's hands.

Thisday is clearly a reputable newspaper in NIGERIA.

http://www.thisdayonline.com/nview.php?id=166150


Assistant Secretary of State, United States of America, Ambassador Jonnie Carson who has been in the country as a special envoy of the US President, Barack Obama is to confer with former Military President, General Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida as part of efforts to meet with major stakeholders in the country in the light of the lingering political crisis in the country.

THISDAY gathered that several issues bordering on bilateral relationship and sustenance of democracy in Nigeria will form part of the discussion at the home of the former President in Minna, Niger State.

This is looking like Obama-IBB Presidency in 2011!

AMERICANS is after nothing but their interest.

If IBB will serve their interest, they will go to him.

If DEVIL will server their interest, they will go to him.

When they needed slaves after wiping-out the red indians they came to west africa!

I am not surprised. They already going back to same Taliban they chased away in Afghan.

Obama is nothing but just following the USA Traditions.

That is a lesson nobody should forget!

This is just another delay tactic and I am afraid that Jonathan is in on this charade this time. If he wasn't, he would not have accepted this lame offer by the senate. The constitution prescribes TWO clear ways by which the VP can become an acting president. The first option is for the President to forward a letter to the Senate president stating that he is handing over power to the vice-president for whatever reason. He failed to do that.

The second option is one that is designed to take care of the peculiar situation we find ourselves in Nigeria where the president has absconded from his duty post and is manifestly UNABLE to send a letter to the Senate. The onus in this case lies on the FEC who by a resolution of at least two-thirds of its membership, are supposed to declare the President incapable of discharging his duties and convey such to the Senate president. The senate president and Speaker of the House are then supposed to set up a medical board of five eminently qualified medical personnel including the president's personal physician to investigate and report back to them. It is based on this feedback that the Senate can do what they have done now. As it is now, the Senate has inadvertently over reached itself and created yet another fertile ground for freak court cases that will further worsen the logjam we are in now.

The Senate should have invoked its powers as enshrined in Section 143 of the 1999 constitution and commenced IMPEACHMENT proceedings against the president. In my opinion, Yaradua fits the bill for impeachment because of acts of "gross misconduct" as described by Section 143, Sub-section 11 of the 1999 constitution, by his singular act of absconding from his duty post for 78 days without informing the senate.

I know this charade will end some day soon. God bless Nigeria!!!

exactly. That is why I am suprised at the opposition parties!

They should have called for an early election and do away with both fraudulent Yaradua and Luckygood.

If u say so,i think the worst of OBJ (which is J.Goodluck)will be far better than the best of Yaradull.

and you believe it is this level of incomptences that NIGERIANS should be subjected to?

Anyway, NIGERIANS will get President they deserve!

blacksta:
useless replacing useless / what was his track record when he was assistant governor/governor/vice president

well said. Nigerians never look at things deep.

1. Mr Obasanjo is back in power, that was his game plan all along.

2. GoodLuck's wife was caught in 2007 with $2million by EFCC; what happened?

3. I expect 'looting for all to start right away.

I will predict here: This is going to be lame-duck VP-President till 2011

The best thing we should have asked for is a call for a new free and fair election right away since we know both Yaradua/GoodLuck are product of same FRAUD.
