i see nothing wrong in the president's outfit, actually, i would love it if the president dress more like this. the outfit portrays a man who is down-to-earth and identifies with the masses in the country. i don't find anything "grossly" wrong with what he said too (he could have done better though) however, i find everything wrong with his actions. if u ask me, i'd say the country has no president - just a figurehead puppet and opportunist who just love the title called "president" |
i hate watever gej stands for with passion and i have no doubt in my mind that nigeria will never move forward with the likes of gej in power. however, i must commend him for this , completing what has been started since the time of obj, thereby displayin one very rare quality in our govt which is very important - continuity |

TWO model sisters wept yesterday as they were caged for six months for ransacking an Argos store. Shonola Smith and her sister Alicia joined 100 rioters who stormed the Croydon shop on Monday, tearing apart display cases and looting the stock. The mob included their pal Donness Bissessar, 21 - who joined them again in court, and also got six months. Bright student Shonola, 22, was about to restart a university course next month. The girls' stunned families clutched each others' hands as District Judge Robert Hunter imposed the sentences, and the girls were led to the cells at Croydon Magistrates Court. He told the defendants: "The tragedy is that you are all of previous good character, each of you well-educated. You have jobs. You have plans for future education. You have shown remorse and pleaded guilty. However, I can't ignore the context in which these offences were committed." He added he hoped the harsh sentence would "serve as a deterrent to others". Magistrates worked round the clock yesterday to deliver swift justice to hordes of captured hooligans. Ministry of Justice officials said last night 2,033 arrests had been made and 1,043 people had already been charged. A boy of 13 who went into riot-hit Manchester with a HAMMER strapped to his leg was hauled before the city's magistrates court. He was given a nine-month referral order after admitting possessing an offensive weapon without lawful excuse. Friend , Donness Bissessar District Judge Khalid Qureshi said: "If you had been 15, you would be going straight to the cells." Three university students were jailed for a YEAR each for "scavenging" £4,500-worth of electrical gear and clothes during the London chaos. Law student Akintunde Amosu, 19, business and marketing student Xavier Techie-Afful, also 19, and his younger brother Javier, 18, were told at Camberwell Green Magistrates Court they had "blighted their lives by a moment of madness". A girl of 14 was bailed after her mum admitted she had not seen her for TWO WEEKS. The teen is accused of stealing clothes, CDs and perfume in Tottenham, North London. Neither of her parents were in London's City of Westminster Magistrates Court to take her home and frantic calls were made to track them down. Dozens were hauled before the courts accused of trying to rally the mobs online. Jamie Counsell, 24, allegedly used Facebook to organise an event in Cardiff called: "Rioting, looting, robbing and burgling." He was remanded in custody for a week by magistrates. Insurance salesman Aidan Curwen, 18, was accused at Northampton Magistrates' Court of using a BlackBerry to urge 140 people to arm themselves with "bats and weapons". A girl of 11 got a police warning for involvement with a Facebook page inviting 400 to gather at a Poundland store in Plymouth, Devon. Jobless Amed Pelle, 18, faces jail after he admitted using Facebook to encourage the "killing of a million police officers" in Nottingham. TWO men aged 24 and 26 were arrested yesterday over the murder of Trevor Ellis, 26 - shot in the head in his car in Croydon, South London, during Monday's trouble. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/3750164/Model-sisters-weep-as-they-are-caged-for-six-months-for-looting-in-an-Argos-store.html @moderator : you can append it to the previous posts on indicted nigerians in london riots |

dayokanu:GBAM, Mr odechukwu - my 2 cents on wat u should do 1) focus on improving the quality of education in the existing universities 2) focus on creating job for the graduates from the existing universities |
[size=14pt]conspiracy theory 1 about the timing - sanusi brought forward the sept deadline date to divert attention away from islamic bankin issue[/size] |
rotimi is spot on, he just fell short of saying one thing - "nigeria needs true federalism" |
not even a press statement or public statement to show his concerns and feelings for the plights of the lagosians,, let alone paying them a visit !!! pathetic |
as far as i know, fashola never promised to build underground rail system - no construction company will even do that for him, elevation of a place that would get an underground rail system should never be lower than 50 m above mean sea level, and this is not the case in lagos |
[size=14pt]any reasonable person will know that 150 naira to a dollar is too high for a country that imports everything, and exports only oil, and have so much naira in circulation.[/size]. the xchange rate is not sustainable, govt will not be able to do much (anyways, they are even not ready to do anything), and the foreign reserve is going to reduce at a much faster rate which in the end, will affect a lot of things. . . |

He had vowed he would have the full cabinet, which is expected to be made up of 42 persons, in place in two weeks. A statement from the office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mr. Anyim Pius Anyim, also announced changes in the cabinet today, as approved by the president. Among them: [size=14pt]Yusuf Suleman has been moved from the Ministry of Transport to the Sports Commission as Chairman and Minister after he reportedly demanded huge bribes from NIMASA last week. Mr. Suleiman was slated to be dropped from the cabinet but the Sultan of Sokoto reportedly intervened[/size]; Idris Umar is now the Minister of Transport; Navy Captain Caleb Olubolade moves to the Ministry of Police Affairs; Mrs. Olajumoke Akinjide becomes Hononorable Minister of State, FCT; and A new Ministry of Communication Technology. The government said the new Ministry would be headed by a Minister "who is very versatile in the Information and Communication Technology (ICT), to give it the desired focus in view of the critical importance of ICT in driving a modern economy.". Mr. Jonathan also made Olusegun Aganga, the former finance minister, the "Trade and Investment" minister. The new ministry is expected to bring investments into Nigeria. Jonathan's cabinet is mostly his old cabinet from the previous administration. His critics question his snail pace as well as lack of courage to bring in a healthy dose of technocrats to generate new ideas and momentum. While he has preached a so-called "transformational agenda," Jonathan has so far failed the first test of transparency by failing to declare his assets or generate an offensive against corruption, Nigeria's perennial enemy. Indeed, cracks may already have begun to appear in the fabric of his government, as the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Mohammed B. Adoke, declared during his screening at the Senate that the anti-corruption agencies do not properly understand their their statutory mandates, and that they lack the capacity to investigate and prosecute economic crimes. But it is to those agencies that Jonathan pledged to hand his war against corruption. The updated cabinet is as follows: Table showing the list of the Ministers and their portfolios S/N/ NAME/ PORTFOLIO/ STATE/ ZONE 1.Barrister Emeka Wogu- Honourable Minister for Labour, Abia- SE 2.

as gej's mouthpiece, i will like to say that the president is saddened by the recent exploits of boko haram and he would have loved to do something, he would av loved to declare state of emergency, but he is clueless on how to handle this situation as the process really really tough and complex. we all need to pray and wish that the power of luck will one day stop this carnage goin on in borno |
he cant declare state of emergency not only because he is weak, but because he is clueless. state of emergency puts the administration of a state directly under the president, however, since he figured out that he has no clues on how to deal with boko haram even if the state is directly under his rule, he chose not to impose it |
still pointin to the fact that gej is clueless. . . . cbn should not be doing this, but since the govt which is supposed to do it is not doin it, sanusi (using the platform of cbn) had to step in |
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-14072824 (click link for video) The first man to be convicted of trafficking females out of the UK, in a case involving two Nigerian girls, has been jailed. Anthony Harrison, 32, was sentenced to 20 years for four trafficking offences as well as two of false imprisonment. The charges related to teenage victims who alleged they were subjected to witchcraft and violence. Judge Philip Shorrock said the sentence was being imposed "to deter others who are tempted by this terrible trade", and "to reflect public disgust". Jon Brain reports. |
mallorca:wat will time tell? you dont need to wait for time to tell, it is very obvious now |
given the current production levels and spare capacities of industries/companies in nigeria, i strongly believe nigeria should not produce more than 50,000 graduates annually. rather, we should focus more on producing more "entrepreneurial technicians" who are trained with state of the art facilities. why do pple go to universities in nigeria. . . . . . . . hundreds of pple doing religious studies, thousands studying chemistry, zoology, physics, maths. . . . . i wonder a lot of the times whether this is wat nigeria really needs now. . . pple study engineering in nigeria with the hope of ending up in a bank after graduation, wat is the percentage of nigeria graduate who managed to build a career along their course of study in the univ? and my dumb president is insisting on creating more univs. as if this will create more jobs. . . . . . pathetic!!! |
[size=15pt]the fact that we import almost everything in nigeria is a testament to the fact that our educational system has failed us [/size] |

still wondering why pple voted for someone who can not articulate his programs for the country. as a contrast, check out buhari's manifesto again Politics and Governancelisten to fola adeola about his plans for the country https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIE9vZZlYpc&playnext=1&list=PL200F26A7036718EA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HXiHFDoALg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EsRu2371kw pathetic !!! |
irrespective of the profession, any body(ies)/union that goes on strike should not be paid for the duration of time they are on strike. goin on strike occurs very frequently because workers know they'll still be paid for the period when they are on strike, and i question the silly rationale behind this. workers should never be paid for undone job and this will force unions to think critically on the importance of a strike b4 embarkin on it |
she's got everything it takes to make it big in cnn but her accent |
i will first give a presidential order that will extend my stay to 4 years ! lol 1 day is too small to do anything meaningful. however, if that is all i've got. i, together with renowned forensic scientists, will spend 18 hours to investigate the rot in our system, and i will use the 3 hours to make a speech (incite-ful or motivating) to the country which should be aired live in all languages about the problems of nigeria based on my prior knowledge and my current findings, and the direction nigeria should be heading |
lol @ this topic!!! and i laf wen i see pple who havent been thru the 2 systems make some funny comments. dont know where to start but i will say this , if the standard is good in nigeria, ptdf wont be spending around 8 million naira per annum for 1 nigeria to study abroad, companies which have the means wont be sending their staff to further their education abroad, |
3 pple mr. riggin mr. tribalism mr. religion |
why do arabs love bread why do europeans love anything made from flour |
never experienced wat you mentioned!!! but if pple do this, i think it is good both for the environment and their pocket. however, i would also say that there are better ways to go about this , e.g. using energy efficient bulb (which is now cheaper than normal bulb in germany), using light switches with brightness regulator e.t.c. nigeria is a country where pple do not pay the real values for the goods and services they get from the govt (water, electricity, petrol, kerosene, refuse cleaning, good roads etc) hence we dont put value on them. but the irony of it is that we pay much more to get these services from individuals e.g. consider money spent on generators and fuels, cost of buyin water from aboki/tanker, the levy imposed on u by landlord assoc for repairin ur street's roads etc. |
[size=14pt]ABOLISH THE CURRENT SYSTEM AND GO BACK TO REGIONAL GOVT WHICH CONSISTS OF 6 REGIONS (NW, NE, NC, SW, SE, SS). AND EACH REGION SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO OWN AND CONTROL ITS RESOURCES AND GROW AT ITS OWN PACE WHILST PAYING TAXES TO THE FEDERAL GOVT. FEDERAL GOVT FUNCTIONS SHOULD BE SECURITY, INTL RELATIONS, AND NATIONAL INTEGRATION. AND AN INDIVIDUAL SHOULD BE ABLE TO CLAIM THAT (S)HE COMES FROM A REGION IF HE IS EITHER BORN THERE AND CAN SPEAK ONE OF THEIR LANGUAGES, OR (S)HE HAS CONTINUALLY RESIDED THERE FOR A CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME AND CAN SPEAK ONE OF THEIR LOCAL LANGUAGES[/size] |
