BusinessRe: Why Don't We Use Coins In Nigeria? by otawa: 2:17pm On Jan 26, 2010
good question.

this is  psyco-related if you ask me.

Everyone like to be a big man and you dont want to be seen carrying about 'jingling coins' in your pocket.

At least they should introduce pay-phone on the streets where you can make calls with coins or clean water machine which you can refill your bottle with coins,
Nitel had this in good old days, area boyz tap the line and everyone call for free.

PoliticsRe: Alamieyeseigha Seeks Reinstatement As Governor by otawa: 2:01pm On Jan 26, 2010
For starters, this man probably has some strong strings somewhere, but aside that i think its in the constitution somewhere that no ex-convict or criminal plaintiff may hold office. How he's out of prison boggles my mind. HE is a sham in every nature of the word, but yet let us await the ruling, i'm sure it'll be dramatic.
Mr Obasanjo was an ex-convict when IBB and other brought him.

Alarm cannot come back as Governor but the impeachment could be cancelled by a court, this would clean up his record and open the way for him to come back as Minister or whatever.
PoliticsRe: Bin Laden Calls Abdulmutallab A ‘hero’ by otawa: 1:41pm On Jan 26, 2010
The Leader leads and makes sure he's around to lead and to remain the focus point of his people. In some strange situations, a dead leader is better than a living leader.
I dont buy that. A leader should be at the fore-front.

The leaders in those country have carefull brainwashed their own people.

In good old days, Mark Antony was in the front leading to his men to battle. Basorun Ga was leading the Oyo empire against the Fulani invaders

what happened to leadership by example?

THE ISREALIS ARE JEWS!!! THEY ARE NOT CHRISTIANS!!! THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT CHRISTIANS!!! MATTER FACT, THEY DISCOURAGE ITS PREACHING IN ISREAL!!! FOOLS U MO.RONS ARE!!! Oh, in case u dont know, THE JEWS KILLED CHRIST!!! THEY DO NOT BELIEVE HE WAS ANYTHING OTHER THAN A POLITICIAN!!! THERE IS A JEWISH SAYING "IF YESHUA (JESUS) COMES BACK TO EARTH AND CONTINUES HIS CLAIM THAT HE IS THE SON OF OF GOD, WE WONT HESITATE TO SEND HIM BACK TO HIS FATHER"!!!!! Even Islam believes in Christ, just that he is not the son of God!!! Imagine this, Islamic Prophet Mohammed (according to the Quran) fell sick and died, like any normal man. Whereas, this same Quran, claims that Jesus could not be killed and that God took him up to heaven body and soul! Does this sound like a religion that hates christians?!
Gbosa!!!
PoliticsRe: Dipo Dina Shot Dead In Ogun State by otawa: 10:21am On Jan 26, 2010
OBJ, OGD, IYABO, AMOSUN and others shame on you!
only that they dont have a shame.

Mr Obasanjo already wiped-out enitre village of Odi, so killing one person is no big deal.

I expect people of this state to be on the street but alas they will do nothing.

Just like people of Lagos did nothing when Funso Williams was killed.
PoliticsRe: Dipo Dina Shot Dead In Ogun State by otawa: 8:41am On Jan 26, 2010
Very Sad news but am not surprised.

Like I told NUZO in another thread.

The only to succeed as Politician in Nigerian are:

1. get a godfather

2. ready to kill/destroy your enermies.

Now the road is free for whoever PDP brings along in 2011.

It is too late for AC to have a solid candidate, it is less than 18months.

And so PDP will Ogun State again.
PoliticsRe: Alamieyeseigha Seeks Reinstatement As Governor by otawa: 8:32am On Jan 26, 2010
The impeachment of ALAM was illegal in LAW like many enforced by EFCC.

8 out of 22 cannot make a majority to impeach a governor.

That's why they say evil men do live after them.

This was the evil of Mr Obasanjo and that stupid boy called Nuhu.
PoliticsRe: Ethiopian Airlines Jet Crashes Into Sea Off Beirut. by otawa: 11:16pm On Jan 25, 2010
To the contrary, commercial and military flights are regularly delayed due to bad weather, and as a reminder of the perils awaiting all who tempt fate by getting airborne in severe storms, aviation history is rife with instances of planes downed by lightning strikes or massive turbulence, with a couple of recent examples being the loss of an Air France A340 when it ran into a monster tropical storm off the coast of Africa, followed by the near loss of another Air France A340 at virtually the same spot in a similar storm a month later.
It is not conclusive what actually caused loss of Air France FLIGHT 447.

Forty minutes later, a four-minute-long series of automatic radio messages was received from the plane, indicating numerous problems and warnings. The exact meanings of these messages are still under investigation, but the aircraft is believed to have been lost shortly after it sent the automated messages

Many other flights took off just before and after Airfrance 447 and nothing happened to them.

50% of all crashes are due to Pilot error only 12% is due to weather.

We wait for recovery of the black box for this crash and hopefully meaningful compensation for the families.

osaass:
Ethiopia get airline again!
Abi na bus line?
Anyway sympathies to the families of the dead/injured.
This is the best airline in AFRICAN!


The pilots on this ill-fated flight , or their bosses at dispatch, tragically decided to gamble on taking off in a violent storm that would have placed any aircraft in serious danger, and they lost to the unforgiving fury of mother nature.
It is too early to say but normally lightning/thunderstom is no problem for modern wide-body jetliners.
PoliticsRe: Nuzo For House Of Representatives 2011. The Revolution. by otawa: 7:00pm On Jan 25, 2010
Nuzo, good idea but you need to be on ground!

These people on NL will do nathing for your Politica success.

You need to have god father and be ready to kill/destroy anyone that comes across your way.

Its how you can get there, but whats more important is what YOU DO when you eventually get there!

Good Luck.
PoliticsRe: World Bank Votes $65m For Abuja Airport Fencing by otawa: 6:55pm On Jan 25, 2010
i am also sensing the peril and precedented danger in the offer. naija should be aware of what is happening.
I would expect, Nigerians in AMERICA should call WB to explain this nonsense of a fence.

How much did the same WB used to build fence in say O'Hare Airport or LAX Airport?
PoliticsRe: Herbert Macaulay by otawa: 6:53pm On Jan 25, 2010
His lineage was of a high calibre. He was the grandson of the first black Bishop, Ajayi Crowther, and the son of Thomas Babington Macaulay, founder of the oldest secondary school in the country, the CMS Grammar School, Lagos. He did not rest on the laurels (or wreaths) of his forebears, being himself Nigeria’s first civil engineer. And beyond all that, he was an accomplished musician, a violinist, and a compelling orator. He died in his eighties, but was lucid till the end.

[b]The first time I saw him, he was already eighty years old, clad in his white suit and black bow tie, and he was walking down Macaulay Street, a small street in which I lived, and which was named after his father. He has not been denied some measure of honour himself.[/[/b]quote]

with due respect, this does sound more like those 'wannabe house slaves'

Was it not his grand-father, Crowther, that further subjugated other africans for the Queen by translating bible to Yoruba!

Osama always make video when he talks.

Stop believing the US Governement and ask hard questions.

Osama died in Tora Bora caves during the bombing,  since that time there has been no video only voice.

America needs to keep the war going.

PoliticsRe: Obasanjo One Of Nigeria's Best Presidents So Far by otawa: 1:18pm On Jan 25, 2010
Mr Obasanjo belongs to rubbish of history.

This was the most vicious, mass killer in Nigeria.

It is not surprising that with crude oil selling for $120/barrel, Nigerians went further into poverty!

This was a man that wipe-out entire village of ODI.

Justice will prevail no matter how long it is delayed!

Nothing is new here. This is high power politics.

Foreign AffairsRe: Why Is The Us Military Occupying Four Airports In Haiti? by otawa: 1:08pm On Jan 25, 2010
Sam Milla respect!

We are sleeping while the 'smiling USA' take over the whole world.

For me the turning point was Iragi invasion by Bush.

Only a fool will trust a country that lied to the whole world about Sadam WMD

They sent that stupid blackman: Power to lie.

They even showed fake pictures of the Saddam WMD, that was the biggest 419!

Only a fool will trust a country that actual drop TWO ATOMIC bombs on innocent people.

Only a fool will trust a country that committted the worst genocide in Human History: the wipe-out of 'red indians' in presnt day America!
PoliticsRe: Violence In Sokoto? Not Religious/Political Says Police by otawa: 12:08pm On Jan 25, 2010
These religious tensions are getting worse by the day and it is obvious they would only continue to escalate until they probably consumate in a full blown war.
your statement is rather too late.

what was Biafra war all about? Was it not based on religious tensions between Hausa(Muslim) and Igbos(Christian).

There wont be full blown war anyway because the military this time around seems more loyal to Nigeria than to saduna like we have in 60s.

I predict more of such 'localise killings' but not on national wide scale.

People need resource to carry out war which is sadly cannot be financed from these 'poverty induced killing'

PoliticsRe: Bin Laden Takes Credit For Abdulmutallab's Bomb Explosion Attempt by otawa: 1:43am On Jan 25, 2010
I don't even believe that Bin Laden is the one talking on the tape. Multitudes know by now that he was not responsible for 9/11 and yet here is recording of 'him' claiming to be responsible for it.
thats correct.

We all know that Bin laden has been long dead after tora bora bombing with his worsening liver problem.

The USA needs to keep the war-going for their selfish aims and they need 'voice recording' of Bin Laden to continue their brain washing of weak minded people.

Only a fool will believe a country that lied straight face to the whole in UN that Saddam had WMD!
