Jang is the biggest naive I ever know among top government officials in Nigeria.

He does not know his work; he's not a governor for one group of people, his tribe but for all living in Plateau.

The guy is so opinionated, so shameless, and so lax.

He should be impeached right-away!

“I make bold to say that if we should put all violent acts being perpetrated all over the world by Americans and the ones Muslims commit on a scale, we would surely see that those being committed by the US citizens outweigh those they claim Muslims committed. But as Muslims we should try to change this negative attitude they have towards us. We can change this by showing them the beauty of our religion”, he said.

PapaBrowne:
Nonsense talk!!

Why is it a crime in your books for a Nigerian to own an oil block??
Shell, Chevron, and all sorts of oil companies have numerous oil blocks.
They drill the oil and send 40% per cent of the proceeds to their own countries which is then used to build their infrastructures, pay dividends to their investors, give loans to their citizens etc.

T.Y Danjuma is not like the average General. He has always been an astute business man. Oil is not his only source of income. He sits on the board of numerous blue chip companies. He is a professional and a very well respected one at that.
His presence in the Advisory committee would provide guidance in areas like defense and security. There is no person more suitable than T.Y.

The pedigree of members of the Advisory council is without question extremely excellent. A list where you have the likes of Fola Adeola, Maryam Uwais, Emeka Anyaoku, Barth Nnaji, M.D Yusuf, Kaase Lawal, Basil Omiyi- these are folks that have excelled beyond their peers!

The selection of these fellows speaks volumes about Jonathan. The man has a knack for excellence!!

Beaf:
Jonathan hasn't gaffed. The shorelines need to be bolstered first, only then can dredging can begin. We are educated people lets not fall for cheap propaganda.
Some are saying both can be done simultaneously. How?
How much sense does it make to start dredging (which will immediately begin washing away shorelines and destroying coastal ecologies) only to begin strengthening shorelines and ecologies after they have been washed away? It just doesn't make sense.

Yes oh, I watched the sittings and voting live on NTA was really impresed with the Senators and Senate President. There Comes a time in a mans life when you have to be a man or woman and make your stand clear, the Senate President was very clear and upset at being taking for granted by the president, and the senators made their stand known indiviually, i was especially happy that the senate president made them all vote one by one so every one will answer his fathers name and so no one can hide behind a voice vote. Yesterday the Senate showed that even them had had enough of disrespect and disregard. The best part was when a senator raised an order that the debate should be discontinued since the president is back and David mark said the senate is not aware that the president traveled or that he has returned. That the Senate does not work on rumours or misinformation but on written letters and being officially informed but since the president disregarded them they will also show no regards
My main concern now is the house of Reps under Bankole, I just dont get it with Mr Speaker, I had always though David mark was the Yes Man but yesterday and for over a month now i have seen a different side of him. When people listen and do the right thing, then they deserve our praise. So i say thank you to the 89 Senators for waking up and amending section 144 and section 190, it was really a proud and historical moment for me yesterday.
Funny thing is that most Nigerians wont follow and understand this they will just spread rumours and misinformation. Even when this was being voted on yesterday a l;ot of people who i thought should watch the proceedings and see how their senators voted were not interested instead they will browse in and out and go out and misinform others. so who is ignorant now, the leaders or the followers. Good work Nigerian Senate

annyplenty:
why is BBC always the first to announce Yar'Adua reports? I begin to suspect some foul play.

techboy:
Why would he? Give one good reason why a governor would personally brutalise a helpless individual,  Even the so called powerful in Imo State has never complained of harassment from the state government. This is another cheap blackmail!

Sunny_bobo:
Your post above suggests that our so called men of God are failures since it is evident that they have been unable to direct the affairs of the nation from their pulpits in the face of the boko harams, the kalo katos and the recent Jos crisis.

Dude, me thinks is high time we came out of the cocoon of religion and face reality.

God will not come down from heaven and take action for us . It is left for we Nigerians to step out and take actions that will influence the political situation in the country. Rev. Martin Luther King did not remain on the pulpit to effect change in the system neither did Desmond Tutu.

MrCrackles, watch as it unfolds.
First, [/b]Waziri goes.
[b]Second, the courts would be allowed to judge fairly on the suits brought by the shareholders, CEO's etc against the CBN and vice versa.
Third, the shareholders/CEOs win their cases and CBN has to comply with the court decision. The CEO's however won't be allowed to return 2 the banks, which I think is fair.
Fourth, [/b]Sanusi is angry and frustrated because he can't go further with his plans.All his plans are questioned by the new executive.
[b]Fifth, He is fed up and resigns.
Watch as the next two quarters play themselves out.
Check out the profile of the new AGF and you will get the message.

I have the feeling that if APGA/PPA controls he South East,
AC or AD (if it still exist) controls the South West,
ANPP holds sway in the North East,
the middle belt has it's own party and the North has it's own paRTY
Nigeria's democracy would grow and the economy will benefit.
one single party will not be dominant because the lower and upper houses will be composed of various parties and not a single majority.
electing a president will result in power sharing among the various parties and if any party pulls out of the power sharing agreement, that government will fall apart and new elections will have to be held.
that means, all the regions will be well taken care off.
each party will want to outdo the other in order to prove that their party is better.
this will lead to development and improvement in the standard of living of those in that region.
remember Awolowo back in the days and what he did in the western region?
he pushed that region forward educationally.

Ujujoan:
^oh please PDP is guilty of every name they've been called and more. Those guys are a disgrace to democracy. Saying that dosen't make me 'anti-pdp'. I'm not a politician, but I know rigging is not APGA's style.

mikeansy:
In a free and fair election Peter Obi will win

In a free and fair election Ngige will win

In a free and fair election Soludo will win

In a free and fair election Ekwunife will win

In a free and fair elections Andy Uba will win

In a free and fair election Ukachukwu will win and so on and so forth

What the above tells me is that regardless of who wins on Saturday there will be at least 5 other camps who will say the election was rigged because their preferred candidate did not win

How will a country's democracy flourish in an atmosphere like this?

SEFAGO:
Wow, then a minister really need to be exceptionally intelligent to figure out that the most likely questions to be asked during an interview to any foreign minister would typically be the two most embarrassing issues to nigeria- underwear bomber and MIA president.

What did Ojo Maduekwe expect the man to ask him- if Ojo wanted tea?
