I Bet They Had An Ambassador From Egypt Too.

Egypt Ruled The World So They Had Diplomats In Every Kingdom. There Were Igbo Diplomats In Pharaohs Court Too.

That Acounted For Their Diverse Knowledge of Magic. The Ijebusites Were Also There Too With Yoruba "Jars", Bla, Bla, Bla

Remember Their Competitions With Moses?

Obasanjo Flags off $841m Abuja Railway Project
From Kunle Aderinokun in Abuja, 05.08.2007


President Olusegun Obasanjo yesterday performed the groundbreaking ceremony of foundation laying of the Light Railway. The value of the project is in the excess of $841 million with a completion date of four years, which is a complementary factor in our bid for the Commonwealth Games of 2014.”
The President who was on official tour of the Federal
Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja had earlier in the day commissioned the permanent office of the Abuja Geographic Information System (AGIS) and the Area 11 Neighbourhood Centre, Garki, inspected the Urban Shelter Ultra-modern Market and thereafter cut tapes at : the Rural Telephony projects situated within the premises of the National Assembly; the Mabushi Interchange; Jabi Lake Resort; Wupa Waste Treatment Plant and performed the ground breaking foundation ceremony of the Abuja Rail Mass Transit Project as well as commissioned Accra Street Park in Wuse Zone 5.
At the ceremony, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai said, “the importance of this ceremony is better captured when we realize that the chaotic transportation system in Lagos was one of the reasons for the relocation of the seat of government from Lagos to Abuja by the visionary leadership of the Murtala/Obasanjo regime of 1976.”
He stressed that, “in accordance with the Abuja Master Plan and globally accepted norms, cities with a population of over 1.5 million people should have a integrated public transportation system of which the railway is a major component.”
El-Rufai explained that the FCTA was taking 60 kilometer of the project comprising lot one, routed through Area 10 in Garki, Central Area, Wuse Neighbourhood Centre, Utako Motor Park, Jabi Life Camp, Karmo, Gwagwa and Kubwa with a short link to Idu junction.
Also captured in the first phase is lot 3, comprising transportation center in the central area, National Stadium, Kukwaba National Park, Idu and Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport.
He believed that when fully operational, the system, which is powered by diesel and has the capacity to transport about 20,000 passengers per hour/per direction, would “boost the economic life of the residents of the FCT.

Traitor Betrayed

Gideon Levy is an Israeli journalist for Ha'aretz, a member of its editorial board and former spokesman for Shimon Peres [1] A recurring theme of his articles is what he calls the "moral blindness" of the Israeli society to the effects of its acts of war and occupation, an attitude which he attributes to the systematic dehumanization of Israel's neighbours. During the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict, he joined a distinct minority of Israeli commentators by rejecting the view that this was a "just war" whose civilian casualties were inevitable and acceptable.

Levy was born in 1955 in Tel Aviv as a child of European immigrants. From 1978 to 1982 he served, along with Yossi Beilin as aide to Shimon Peres. Since 1982 he writes for the Israeli daily Haaretz, where in 1986 he first reported about the occupation and Palestinian life under the occupation.[2] In 1996 he was awarded the Emil Grunzweig Human Rights Award by the Association for Civil Rights in Israel.

Journalist and feminist activist Irit Linur accused Levy of "shoddy work": "Gideon Levy's whole career is filled with shoddy work, because he's one of the only journalists in the world dealing with Arab issues, who doesn't speak Arabic, doesn't understand Arabic and doesn't read Arabic. They simultaneously translate for him and it's enough for him. In my opinion, that's amateur journalism." [3] Ha'aretz's publisher Amos Schocken wrote "In my opinion, Gideon Levy’s reports should be read principally as a description of the effect of the Israeli occupation on the lives of the Palestinians in the territories." [4]

I Guess "The Pessimists Would Always Be Amongst Us."- Pain 3:16

I Guess They Help To Keep The "Balance"

Nigeria Is Opening Up. Its No Film Trick. Rome Wasnt Built In A Day Neither Was New York (If Its Still New ).

I Remain Whom I Am. A Chronic Optimist.

Mo Pics Please

Let Me Tell U Who The Hausas Are:

A People With Lost Identity. Nowadays We Hear Of Identities Like Hausa_Fulani. Tell Me What Is The Similarity Between Hausa And Fulani Language?

They Bear No Similarities. The Only Thing Cementing That Unholy Matrix Is An Identity Crisis Stemming For Religious Sentiments.

The Hausa Have A Very Short Memory. They Have Forgotten Too Quick How The Fulani Horse Raiders Plundered, Raped And Imposed The "Religion" On Them Through Intimidation.
Prior To Usman Danfodio's "Occupation" and Propagation Of Islam Thru Terror, Te Hausas Were A Peace Loving And Very Social And Fun Loving People.

The Fulani Enslaved Them And Imposed Draconian Tax Laws On Them. The Emirs Could Even Have Your Wife If They Pleased.
I Bet U Their Forefathers Didnt Like That One Bit. But U Know Religion Has Always Been Potent Tool In The Hands Of The State.

Any State That Mixes Religion With Politics Can Come Up With A Potent Mix For Repression And Thats What The Fulanis Did.

They Learnt It From The Arabs!

Even Down To The Early 80's Before The Rise of One Religious Fundamentalist In The North By The Name Of Abubakar Gumi, U Could Still Find Traces Of The Original Hausa Culture Even Though It Was An "Endagered Cultural Specie" At That Time.

The Hausa I Remember Loved Social Festivals Where The Girls Would Come Out Wel Painted, Cladded In Beautiful Attires To Showcase Their God Given Endowments. And I Bet U The Men Loved It.

Now What Do We Have.

I Need Not Enumerate. Go Read Your History Books. Thats If U Have The Stamina To Study

Honestly, I Believe In Calling A Spade A Spade. Sometimes We Give Credence To Mediocrity By Aguing With Mediocres.

I Am Not One Who Loves To Mince Words. When A Fellow Chooses To Call A Spade A Spoon, U Know the Best Answer For Him?.

Serve Him A Dish And Give Him The Spade To Eat With.

You Know The Hot Dish? These Northern Religious Extremists Are The People Pulling Us Back. They Contribute Nothing To The Economy But Chaos And Divisive Politics. They Are The Worst Breakers Of The Very Laws They Claim To Protect.

What Is Sharia? We All Know No One Loves Sharia. No Muslim Loves Sharia. I Say It Again . No Muslim Loves Sharia. These We All Know.

An For The So Called Northerners On This Forum Dont Even Bother Arguing This Because I'm A Northerner Too.

I Know Better. Sharia Is Divisive. Sharia Is Retrogressive. Sharia Has Become A Potent Tool In The Dirty Hands Of The Visionless Leaders In The North.

Shame On Them.

GNature:
The Senate Presidency should have been zoned to the South West (Yorubas), but house speaker aint too bad.

I don't think David Mark stands a chance because of his military background, but lets wait and see.

How Does His Military Background Disqualify Him? Can U Pls Give Us A Detailed Breakdown.?

Is It Now Competency Or Just Background?
I Believe The Miltary Even Prepares People To Be Better Leaders. Lets Not Let The Unfortunate Past Episodes Of Military Intervention Into Politics Becloud Our Judgement Of Some Fine Gentlemen Officers.

Afterall, Military Service Is An Added Advantage In Most Model Democracies Of The World. The US Is A Good Example.

David Mark Is A Fine Officer & Gentleman.

Afterall This Is His 3rd Term As A Senator. He Was Fairly Re-Elected Even Against The Wish Of The Ruling Party In His Constituency.

I Believe Meritocracy And Democracy Is Fine Mix. I Pray Our Future Dispensations Would Be Based On This Fine Blend.

No. Just Like Its Ok To Weep, But Not Cry

If We Dont Develop The Positive Mental Attitude Jen33 Is Advocating Then, We Will Remain In Hell.

Do U See How America Holds Its Head High Even In The Face of Defeat? Thats What We Need.

Good Work Jen33. Do You Have Mo Of Those Pics?

Splash On.

Danmasani:
I will say my last words in this post. If indeed Kano state governement through Shekarau is imposing THE HIJAB, an Islamic dress code on every school girl in Kano state, then that is a step backward and I'll assure you that it will NEVER sail through!
If as i have argued that he seeks to make every school girl wear a VEIL to cover her hair in public, then i see nothing wrong in that, I do not owe an explanation to anyone for that, I do not feel any shame/remorse for that and i believe it to be a right he has as a caretaker/financier of the school and state in general!
Thank You

I Pray Its Your Last Word, Because This Thread Would Be More Coherent Without It.

Now Lets See How Honorable U Are In Keeping To Your Words

David Bonaventure Alechenu Mark. Okpani!!!

Thats The New Senate President.

Mon Sa!!! We Are Still Loyal

ExBoy 4 Life!!!!

Now Whats The Beef All About. I Say Leave The Poor Girl Alone.

We All Love Comfort Dont We? . AfterAll Why Does Everyone Want To Go To Heaven? We Are All Gold Diggers In One Way Or The Other.

You Can Dig Gold Via Academics, Via Sports, Via Ministry , Via Matrimony . Whichever Way, Gols Digging Involves Prospecting For Something That We Believe Would Provide Us With That Much Needed Satisfaction. Although Sometimes We End Up With Pyrites(Fool's Gold)

Anyway, Leave The Lucky Girl Alone.

Reverend:
You are all far too supersticious!

I am going to predict that tonight the sun will disappear and it will go dark, there will be a car accident in Lagos and a foreign oil worker will be snatched in the Delta!

Grow up people

Stop taking things so seriously, it makes not one bit of difference and will not change what will happen to you in life,

Beautiful and utterly truthful submission David. Now let us see how deep into fantasy-land our Bin Laden disciples will have to venture in their futile struggle to deliver a coherent response.
