₦airaland Forum

I have lost a lot of respect i have once have for nairaland and many of my friends and colleagues have also lost respect for nairaland. This is supposed to be forum that will foster the progress of Nigeria but it is obvious that nairaland is compromised if a dumb thread like this can make front page. I remember when a friend of mine a year ago mentioned that if he became president he will not allow Nigerians to be his ministers or governors because we Nigerians are too corrupt. He said he will hire foreign specialist from countries like Canada, Germany, South Korea, Japan and Australia to fill up ministerial and governorship positions.

A lot of people jumped on his throat here and said he has inferiority complex. I support his idea now. Nigeria has gone way beyond rotten, anyone who really wants to fix this country needs to hire foreign experts to fill up top positions, we dont have any morals in this society any more. A man like olu Jacobs(who is a family friend) should know better but i guess even the decent one amongst us have turned dirty.

The only way for a truly free Nigeria is liberation by force. Trust me the civilian democracy is the worst thing to ever happen to this country. A liberation like what is going on in Libya ,Egypt and Tunisia is the only way we can move forward. How many of us can be like Oyb , ideylaff, kobojunkie and the other good and disciplined Nigerians on this forum?

Buhari is no better so the only option is liberation, we can liberate Nigeria or we can secede and divide the nation. Either way we are better than what is going on. We are rotten in Nigeria and only a person with the charisma of the Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez and the patriotism of the former Brazilian president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva can save us from the imminent disaster we are heading for. GOD only helps those who help themselves. I know thare is till thousands of Nigerians out there who are disciplined and sensible and ready to support the right cause financially and physically. I hope it happens soon, enough is enough.

Kobojunkie:
I said it!!! This is the time for those us abroad to call those back in Nigeria, who depend on us, and demand they vote out the PDP ( show receipt to confirm this) or risk being cut off completely . . .  no be only PDP, Community leaders, and kings sabi buy votes . . . we get Right on top to the votes of those we support . . . lol

Nice technique ,i think i must apply this to my family as well.They seem to be confused because of tribal sentiments.The thought of loosing their monthly $$ allowance will surely make those sentiments fade away.

“Being Ikemba’s wife is a job on its own. These are issues that are being constantly discussed. Right now my prerogative is my husband and my family. I have a very young family. I don’t want a situation that would have my attention divided. I would like to help determine the path that my children would take. I would like to be instrumental to raising and shaping their lives. I am not saying that I cannot do that and serve the people at the same time. These were offers that were made even before the elections but I just do not feel that the time was ripe for it” – stated an elated Mrs. Bianca Ojukwu, the latest and youngest wife of Ezigbo gburugburu, the Ikemba of Nnewi, Chief Chukwuemeka Odimegwu Ojukwu on Wednesday, April 14, 2010 in an interview with Alvan Ewuzie of Sun Newspapers – in response to the question “I understand that one or two political offers had come your way. You don’t want them or you just prefer being Ikemba’s wife?”


A disheartening crisis appears wickedly at the doorsteps of the number one citizen and contemporary hero of the modern Igbo society.  For the family of the strongman and legend of Igbo land, Chief Odimegwu Ojukwu, a source confides, life appears brighter on the outside than it really is on the inside. Authoritative information available to 247ureports.com confirms that the king of modern Igbo politics and the modern Igbo project, who has been on Intensive Care Unit [ICU] since February 8, 2011, may be on the last lap of his journey on Earth. His present health condition has continued to worsen near a point of no return.   

His youngest and latest wife, Bianca Ojukwu’s sudden leap into the national political theater amidst her husband’s failing health has raised eyebrows among core Igbo traditionalists and has served symptomatic of what the marital relationship between the two may have dwindled to. Traditionalists who are of the belief that a wife of a dying man should be by the side of the husband to tend to him believe also that Bianca Ojukwu has erred in her abandonment of the Igbo legend. 

Bianca’s quick action to pack her new fiancé, Honorable Commissioner Robert Okonkwo, into her marital home in Enugu has unsettled many within the Ojukwu family. Robert Okonkwo is a 37year old blood relative to Odimegwu Ojukwu who serves under the Peter Obi administration as the commissioner for special duties and transport – a post previously held by Chukwuemeka Odimegwu Ojukwu [Jr].  Robert Okonkwo was Bianca Ojukwu’s choice for the post after Ojukwu [Jr] resigned. Robert Okonkwo presently commutes to work from Ojukwu’s home in Enugu. Knowledgeable folks who could no longer remain mute tell 247ureports.com that Bianca Ojukwu’s actions are not without reason.

They say she has questions to answer.     

On February 9, 2011, Mrs. Bianca Ojukwu signed her offer letter for the position of Special Advisor to the President on Diaspora Affairs following hotly contested debate within the Ojukwu nuclei family over whether to accept the offer by President Goodluck Jonathan.  Family members tell 247ureports.com that Ezigbo gburugburu, Chief Ojukwu did not assent to the offer when it was made by the President personally at the home of Ezigbo at Enugu, the capital of Enugu State.

The President [Jonathan] had paid a personal visit to Ezigbo prior to the onset of his health crisis during the period leading up to the presidential primaries of the Peoples Democratic Party [PDP]. The purpose of the visit was to intimate Ezigbo of his desire to employ his wife as a Minister to replace the vacant slot left by the exit of Prof Dora Nkem Akunyili at the post of Minister of Information and Communication. Ezigbo was said to have received the President well but rejected the idea of offering his wife a ministerial job. Ezigbo, who did not support the idea, found it a bit denigrating to have his wife serve the President. Ezeigbo noted that it would not serve the Igbo interest well. He also did not want his wife’s servitude to cage him and his utterances. Ezigbo made his concerns clear to the President. Bianca being unhappy continued her lobbying of the Presidency for the post.

The President’s men backed off the idea but the incident of December 1st 2010 at the Ojukwu home changed everything for the Presidency, for Bianca and for Ndigbo.

The early morning of December 1st 2010 greeted Ezigbo with a stroke.

Ezigbo gburugburu was struck by a massive stroke. At home at the time of the incident were Bianca, her new lover [Mr. Robert Okonkwo] and some housekeepers. Reacting, Bianca called on two of her personal medical Doctors [names withheld] to come to the house to attend to Ezigbo. Both medical doctors arrived almost immediately to the house and began administering treatment to Ezigbo. Ezigbo was not taken to the hospital.

While the medical duo administered treatment, Bianca who was with her lover, Mr. Okonkwo did not inform the immediate relatives of Ezigbo – of Ezigbo’s deteriorated condition. The immediate family did not become aware till December 6, 2010 – 5 days after Ezigbo was struck. And when the family became aware, they immediately raised an alarm over the choice of Doctor – citing that the same Doctor had treated one of Ezigbo’s cousins – resulting to a wrongful death and litigation between the Ojukwu family and the Doctor. They also raised alarm over the “home treatment” being administered.  In their take, a stroke victim/patient ought to be treated at the hospital. [Dr. Ojukwu, the elder brother to Ezigbo, who is a well respected medical doctor in the area, was not made aware of Ezigbo’s health crisis.]  The mismanagement of Ezigbo’s medical upkeep, at this point became open to the Ojukwu family. And in retort, Bianca took a stand and banned many of the family members from visiting or having a say in quelling the unfolding saga. She insisted on having Ezigbo remain at the house and for her personal Doctor to continue making daily house visits. And so, no cat-scan or other required medical procedures were performed on Ezigbo.

On December 19, 2010, it happened.

Ezeigbo’s system shutdown and he stopped breathing. Panic took the ambiance. The immediate family took over the mantle from Bianca and immediately began to make arraignments to transport Ezigbo to University Teaching Hospital, [UNTH] Enugu. Lifting of Ezigbo from the top floor of his home down to the lower floor – where the entrance and exits were – was not an easy or happy task due to the nonexistent medical supplies or equipment at the home. Ezigbo had to be carried on a mattress down the stairs and onto the ambulance. His physical state told a story that was vividly horrid,  hygienically. His nails were badly overgrown and his body reeked of a toxic stench.

The trip to UNTH told another saddening saga. The elder brother to Ezigbo who up till December 19, 2010 was not aware that his younger brother was having a life threatening crisis, had coincidentally arrived at UNTH for another purpose – only to be surprised by his colleagues who told him of his brother’s condition.

Political juggernauts cash in…

It was also at this point that the political juggernauts seized the opportunity to cash-in what available currencies they found in Ezigbo gburugburu. Top on the list was the Governor of Anambra and the “political godson” of Ezigbo, Mr. Peter Obi. Gov. Obi immediately became “publicly concerned” over the health of Ezigbo. He started to guarantee airlift to a European country for treatment. But Bianca refused him entry into the house following an earlier misunderstanding. Governor Peter Obi was halted at the gate by security men as he tried to gain entry into the Ojukwu’s home. Bianca and Peter Obi had been on a tussle on how to pay for the airlifting. Peter Obi is reported to have been reluctant to release the required funds to facilitate for the airlift because he already disburses N15million monthly of Anambra State funds to Bianca for the upkeep of Ezigbo. 

Arrangements for the airlift was said to have begun on the 6th of December 2010 [the day the family became aware], but Peter Obi, who had told the President [Jonathan] that he will carry the cost - was not as forthcoming. The family opted for an alternate means. And so, an air-ambulance from South Africa was dispatched to Enugu via the assistance of some South East philanthropists. However upon the Jet’s arrival, Peter Obi gave orders that Ezigbo should not be flown on that aircraft because he has already made arrangements. Ezigbo was now kept at the hospital till December 23, 2010 [additional four days] when Peter Obi’s arrangement arrived.

On the day of the airlift, the saddening display of greed and selfishness continued its odorous fermentation. As the airbus arrived and began to taxis into the marked area. Peter Obi, Bianca Ojukwu, Robert Okonkwo and others were in their respective corners inside the airport lounge being entertained. As Ezeigbo was wheeled to meet the air-flight medical team, Peter Obi, Bianca Ojukwu, Robert Okonkwo remained inside the lounged. The unclothed body of Ezeigbo which was only partially covered by the bedspread given to him from UNTH Enugu was handed over to the foreign medical team without Peter Obi or Bianca Ojukwu present.  None of the political juggernauts assembled at the lounge made efforts at covering up Ezigbo gburugburu.  When the air-ambulance was ready for takeoff, Bianca Ojukwu pleaded for her lover to be allowed onto the air ambulance. She was shunned.   

Enugu UNTH Doctors uncover the cause…

An unpleasant twist to the sad tale comes through an interesting medical check from the physicians at the Enugu Hospital that point to a possible neglect and probably mischief on the part of both Bianca and her personal doctor. The medical examination conducted on Chief Chukwuemeka Odimegwu Ojukwu indicated that high levels of heavy metals were introduced in his system. In particular, Sodium [Na+] levels in Ezeigbo’s system were reported to be 10 times its toxic limit. The medical examiners pointed to the Medical Drips administered to Ezigbo at home by Bianca’s personal doctor – as containing abnormal levels of Sodium.  The high level of Sodium was found the cause of Ezeigbo’s coma of December 19, 2010.

One of the primary Doctors who attended to Ezeigbo at the Enugu UNTH told 247ureports.com Bianca’s refusal to admit her husband to a facility for full medical and comprehensive care – primarily, laid the grounds to Ojukwu’s latest crisis. He explains that the high dose of Sodium in Ezeigbo’s system was because of the wrong medicines administered by Bianca’s personal Doctor. In particular, he marked the type of DRIPs used by Bianca’s Doctor on Ezeigbo as being highly suspect…especially for a stroke victim.  “In a more advanced country, Bianca would be a person of interest to the investigative authorities by now”, added the Doctor.   

The President’s reaction…

Interesting also is the Presidency’s reaction towards Ezeigbo’s illness. Without delay, the Presidency, fully aware of Ezeigbo’s rejection of President Jonathan’s job offer of a ministerial post to Bianca, reoffered Bianca a post in the Presidency - the position of a Special Advisor to the President on Diaspora Matters – a position lower than the original offer.

Bianca jumped on the offer.

She signed the offer letter on February 9, 2011, one day [February 8, 2011] after Chief Chukwuemeka Odimegwu Ojukwu; Ezeigbo Gburu Gburu fell into the present coma. Now, 16days and counting…

Tune to NTA, Channels, AIT and RSTV,  INEC postpones NASS elections till Monday April 4th,  My question is 'So Monday go be work-free day na?',  To think that folks in Lagos have already finished accreditation b4 JEGA even announced this postponement.  Ballot papers did not arrive on time from Holland. can you believe this comedian? LWKMD

Why does our ballow paper have to be manufactured in Holland So the Government cannot set up a printing press here in Nigeria to print our own Fxcking ballot paper?

The problem with Nigeria is that our politicians are obsessively corrupt. There is no nation in the world whose Government is not corrupt, even the United States Government is corrupt. The difference is that politicians in other countries always ensure that any contract they award is completed on time and that there is visible development in all sectors of their country. In Nigeria we do the opposite we award the inflated contracts embezzle the funds and still abandon the project leaving the country underdeveloped.

Take South Africa as a case study, there is a lot scandals surrounding the Anc government right from the arms deal, to the Gautain deal down to the BEE deals but one thing i respect about SA politicians is that they always finish their contracts on time. There were scandals surrounding the infrastructural contracts that were awarded for the 2010 world cup but as you can all bear witness to , the stadiums, road, sport villages, hotels ,camps were all finished on time and the even took place without any hitch.

Our own politicians back home have no shame and no self esteem, that is why they gladly break the law. A case in point is the recent scandal involving a Nigerian Governor who commissioned an unfinished airport. If such should happen in SA, he will be immediately arrested and sent to jail ,no questions asked but in Nigeria there is no rule of law, it is a miracle that Nigeria is still existing as a country.

I mean how do you justify a country where some states use sharia  law in a multi cultural and multi religious society? Another problem we have in Nigeria is this Godfather monopoly economy that we practice. I mean how come every single road that is being built in Nigeria is built by one company : Julius Berger ? In South Africa there over 4000 construction companies that get contracts from Government to build roads, schools ,hospitals e.t.c all over the country ,this creates room for competition and creates jobs for a lot of people in the industry unlike in Nigeria where Julius Berger enjoys a monopoly especially when it comes to road construction. It is the same way dangote enjoys a monopoly which keep most Nigerians poor and makes him richer. I know at least 3 Nigerians here in SA who co-own a Construction company and also get contracts from the provincial Government to build road in the townships.

I have said this many times before on this forum, we have to stop doing things the Nigeria way. Our way has never worked for us ,we should get help from honest foreign specialists to build our nation. If I were given the chance to Govern ,I will do something radically different and ensure that there is visible development on the land. The power problem we face in Nigeria is a VERY simple problem to solve. Very very simple, the real problem is our Government and their lackadaisical effort. PDP is intentionally not fixing the power problem because they know that if you give Nigerians power , you have given them 24hrs access to TV ,internet and information avenues which use electricity as there source of power. Information is Knowledge and Knowledge is power,power to choose the right leaders. PDP does not want the electorate to informed. They have destroyed the educational sector now they want to destroy the civil sector. A vote for PDP is a shovel of sand for Nigeria’s grave.

Nigeria needs to generate at least 80,000 MW to be able to compete with the rest of the world as per our population.The only way we can achieve that is too commercialize the entire power industrial and to all all types of power companies to come into Nigeria to invest.

It's not always easy hiding what you are passionate about. For long, I have been waiting to know when he will break his silence, being fully aware that it's part of business ethics. He tried, but should have waited a bit.


Don't mind this foot soldier:
It only goes a long way to reveal how low these BDB and their supporters can descent just to convince us that they are Mr Right, even when it's clearly otherwise. Imagine people that frequently regard our humble president as "Clueless"? Yet you don't don't know "that free to use" is different from "free to reproduce".


Sorry!!![/quote]Oh boy ,take am easy now ,HABA! you no dey tire?

beaf ,onye ekwu ,donotbanme, Head to to and many others and now In-no-cent.No seriously ,you are not normal.How are you able to juggle so many personalities at once

9ijaMan:
And here's what a true leader did when he led PTF

^^^ You have already exposed PDP's lies on this thread.who knows maybe seun has been *compromised*,remember he owns nairaland and GEJ's camp knows that.Surely they won't just sit on their behinds without making moves to make nairaland PDP friendly.  

I am dissappointed but i guess nothing should surprise me anymore in Nigeria.On the issue at hand the story is very fake and i am glad you exposed their domain registration details.The bluelab guys are not very smart just like GEJ's camp.They just rushed to make a video and gave the game away when they included GEJ at the end of the video.If they were clamoring for transformation,why did they include GEJ's photo in 3 scenes   .Common bluelab not all Nigerians are d.af.t.You have should just made the video and shown nigeria's past leaders but you should not have shown GEJ because it made the video look like you were sending a message that GEJ should be elected as president,that move alone shows that your story is a big lie.

What worries me is the desperation of GEJ's camp to steal someone else's ideas.If these guys had this video ,they should show us a YOUTUBE video link CLEARLY indicating that the video was posted before Jan 2011 and maybe we will just believe their story.My advise to GEJ ,fire all these campaign strategist and advisers you have around you,i mean even sarah palin is doing better than you at the moment.

I am a specialist in the art of propaganda and mass deception,if you need my services you know where to find me.Mind you i dont come cheap because i use state of the art equipment.I have a team of 7 guys (2 think tank,2 hackers,1 writer ,1 webdesigner and 1 photographer) who are "battle tested".We will formulate fresh and intelligent ideas that will make even the hardcore BB folks love you.Like i said get rid of all this incompetent small boys and hire real professionals who can make the pope turn into an imam.By the way don't fire beaf,he may not be bright but he is loyal and can handle pressure.I will teach him new tricks that will enhance his manipulation skills ,besides we need him to get rid of his split personality issues because it has caused a lot embarrassment for your camp on NL  

DoNotBanMe:
Good man.

LOL chatting with yourself again beaf? You seem to really follow in your master's foosteps.GEJ debates with himself,you create a thread then reply yourself with another of your handles *chuckle* you don dey kolo ,i swear 

So will Jonathan give up his armour plated Mercedes benz , range rovers e.t.c and replace them with a JUJU plated peyo 607 ? I laugh in Afrikaans 

Orikinla:
GEJ SHOULD ALSO PATRONIZE MADE IN NIGERIA SCHOOLS BY WITHDRAWING HIS CHILDREN FROM THEIR INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL TO THE PUBLIC SCHOOL IN WUSE.

HIS WIFE SHOULD STOP GOING TO SHOP IN DUBAI AND PATRONIZE MADE IN ABA.

HYPOCRITES ARE WORSE THAN SINNERS.

TUFIA KWA!

GBAM ,no long story! 

Beaf:
Shame on all those clowns that have made this a PDP matter. It shows your depth of character and puerile bitterness. Who do you think worries about PDP in Ecowas, SA or the wider World?
Please, lets keep it to Nigeria and our foreign policy vs South Africa's. The only two factors are Nigeria and GEJ.

The biggest Coacoa port in the World, San Pedro has now fallen to the Republican forces. LOL!
Gbagbo actually asked for a ceasefire yesterday. The punk had more than enough warning, it is also likely that the Republican army will knock on his door tonight, so let him ask them for a ceasefire at that point. For some reason, I strongly suspect a Nigerian hand, Abuja was Outarra's last port of call, ostensibly to seek support

As for SA, their foreign policy (like Zuma's mind) is looking increasingly quixotic and directionless. Their behaviour seems to be driven by their lust for a permanent seat at the UN Security Council; and Nigeria is their main stumbling block, especially with our steadily growing economy about to begin explosive growth. Nigeria's economy is projected to overtake and outstrip SA's within 10 years (or less).

SA has made many ill thought out foreign policy decisions, including Libya and Ivory Coast; whereas, Nigeria has always been on the ball. A few more months like the past two, and the World will begin to see just another inept regime in SA. In the meantime, Nigeria's foreign policy star has been shining brightly, all our steps have been ordered and well thought out. That UN seat naturally belongs to Nigeria.

Abeg commot there ,on the ball my yansh.

Your mugu in chief has not solved the boko haram issue ,Mend issues e.t.c but he is on the ball in Ivory coast's matter. LOl you just keep exposing yourself as a not too bright individual.Clean up your wardrobe first before you try to clean other's.

There is not shining about Nigeria ,a country that can not solve it's own internal security problems can never get a sit on the UN security seat.The seat will either be given to SA or Botswana because Nigeria does not qualify.SA hosted the worldcup with maximum success and no security problems.That alone has boosted their score.what has Nigeria done to show that it's leader can make quick decisions to conquer security threats?

So it is the UN seat your boss is worried about?  Tell him to keep his eyes on the real ball which is dealing with all the security problems in Nigeria at the moment like armed robbery,bombs,kidnapping e.t.c

You strongly suspect a Nigerian hand hey? Hahahah you wish.Next thing you will say that Nigeria has it's own spies in IC? The Nigerian government can not wipe it's own as.s even if you offered it a golden tissue paper. Nigeria will overtake SA in 10 years *chuckles* na beans?.What has Nigeria been doing the past 12 years that is has not overtaken SA? Do you really think people take Goldman scam sachs seriously? The man who is running our finaces ,is he not from the same Goldman sachs? Yeah, Nigeria will overtake SA in 10 years.In your dreams buddy ,in your dreams.

It wont happen ,you wanna know why? because Jonathan will run the country aground in 4 years.

Please do some research before getting overly sentimental over a non issue. If zuma’s intention was to intervene then he was wrong but we really don’t know what happened. By the way the SAS Drakensberg is not a warship. She is a support vessel, used for example to refuel other ships, logistic support etc. At best, any armament she carries is light, and for defence only. If Ecowas can't even get this fact straight, then they have no hope of clearing up the mess in Cote d'Ivoire.
________________________________________________________________________________________
Here is how the news was reported in SA:

James Victor Gbeho, head of the 15-nation West African bloc which has threatened to use force to oust Ivory Coast strongman Laurent Gbagbo, told journalists “there is a South African warship docked in Cote d’Ivoire.” “Action such as that can only complicate the matter further,” he said.South Africa’s ambassador to Nigeria disputed Gbeho’s reference to the vessel as a warship and said it could serve as a neutral negotiation venue.He said a similar arrangement was used for the Democratic Republic of Congo years back when South Africa mediated.

According to the ambassador, the vessel had initially docked in Ghana, but he said he did not know its current location.“There is nothing amiss about the vessel we sent. It’s just a harmless support vessel,” Kingsley Mamabolo told AFP. “It could be used for evacuation. It’s not meant to go and intervene militarily.“It’s ridiculous for anybody to suspect that South Africa would want to do a thing of that nature,” he said.“We have in the past sent ships (to troubled areas) which are not combat ships, but support ships for various reasons such as a venue for neutral negotiation, or in the event of evacuation.” He said South Africa “in principle has never believed in intervention by force.” “South Africa will never, ever intervene without consulting the regional bloc, in this case ECOWAS, and that we will never do anything that has not been authorised or mandated by the African Union (AU).”

ECOWAS has recognised Gbagbo’s rival Alassane Ouattara as president and demanded that Gbagbo quit power.But the AU has tasked a panel of five heads of state to find a peaceful, binding solution by the end of February.The panel, made up of the leaders of Burkina Faso, Chad, South Africa, Mauritania and Tanzania, sent a team of experts on an exploratory mission to Ivory Coast.

IMO If the leaders in west Africa e.g Jonathan had spent their country’s money wisely and strengthened their naval force maybe they won’t be so scared of an ordinary supply ship. Someone mentioned NNS Aradu, are you for real? How can you compare that rusty old relic to SA’s arsenal.NNS should be cooling off in a naval museum.One South African submarine will sink that Aradu in a second. Don’t even contemplate going to full scale war againt SA, their air power and sea power will send our armed forces in to hiding. The fact is if Zuma did do this intentionally he was wrong but even ecowas knows that it’s combined force cannot match SA’s arsenal and that is a fact. Nigeria’s only effective force is it’s army but with SA’s superior air power the army will be reduced to rubble in a matter of days not weeks.

Dont be fooled people,OP is beaf.He never left Nigeria,he has been holed up in GEJ's campaign office logging onto nairaland with different IDs and IPs.

edoyad:
Dude, whether we like it or not that guy is rich resource any aspiring business man can tap from. It is common practice all over the world for trail blazers to leave words of gold behind for freshers. Buffet, Gates, Ellison et al all do it.

I disagree with you,no one need Dangote's memoirs to become successful.Just take a look at Lagos ,many igbos with no formal education built their businesses from scratch selling spare parts e.t.,c and they are multimillionaires today.I built my business in South Africa from scratch investing in IT,digital Entertainment and property and i am well off today.You don't need dangote ,you need freedom to access information,leadership programs e.t.b .The internet helped shape me into who i am today.Let Nigerians have easy and affordable access to the internet and you will see them perform wonder.

I am sure you know about 419,those guys doing 419 did not read dangote's memoirs but they are able to execute unbelievably intelligent scams that have left professors with their mouths wide agape.What i am saying is that,the will to succeed is second nature to Nigerians.If Nigeria was like South Africa where there is good governance ,world class infrastructure ,rule of law and a disciplined society ,you will see a lot of success stories.

Beside dangote became rich because of his corrupt affiliation with the likes of IBB and co just like adenuga.The monopoly he enjoys in several industries is illegal.He should not be a role model but a prisoner in Kirikiri.

How about we focus on Agriculture, Manufacturing, tourism,IT , e.t.c .I mean South Africa has no oil but contributes a staggering 17% to Africa’s total GDP.

We should stop focusing on oil and gas,it will be our downfall if we do. If Nigeria breaks up, i will throw my hat into the ODUA presidential race.ODUA oni baje o!

fizokey:
Alarm Alarm Alarm!! These sworn GEJ haters are at it again, operating multiple accounts and doing what they know best ''criticizing'', they ask why GEJ didnt wear a suit to the debate (abi na press conference dem call am), they criticize why he didnt drink water in the glass b4 him, they complain that he didnt mention abt space technology, they wonder why he has no plans of relocating Nigeria to Mars!!

 Abeg more cartons of panadol 'extra' please!!

May your life be ruled and your FINANCES  squandered the way Jonathan has ruled Nigeria and squandered it's finances in the past 8 months.Say Amen.

edicolove:
Why do all of you who have spent hard time going thru school still want an uneducated and unintelligent mallam to rule you again. cant you have some self worth for once? A country of world class scholars in the mold of Wole Soyinka and Okonjo Iweala being ruled by illiterates. what an anomaly and a display of gross social imbalance.

Abeg go siddon ,olodo of the highest order,did you see me clamour for BB or Ribadu ? I want PAT UTOMI but you unintelligent folks don't want good men.Na chop make i chop una sabi.Thanks for mentioning wole soyinka,so do you think d.um.bluck  jonathan falls in the league of wole soyinka.

For your information,Soyinka supports ND's greatest mind : Prof. Pat Utomi.

Tunsbobo:
I've said this time without number, if u carefully observe the people who are clamouring for 'BB 2011', you discover that they are not so smart persons who are probably not in their right senses! The people i pity most are the sons of the yoruba soil who are supporting him, its a pity you can't see beyond your noses! Ribadu All The Way

My friend stop crashing into a thread without reading through.Yorubas dont want jonathan,Pat Utomi is the man.

musKeeto:
Hmm,
Just curious,

1. Would GEJ be voted by Niger Deltans for President of Niger Delta?
2. If GEJ is God's annointed, does that mean GOD loves PDP?

Arguments based on logic will never win the simple-minded. 'Divine' and fake promises of hope with some bags of rice will.

Spot on bro.

STOP BEEFING GEJ. i guess u were all disappointed after d debate. ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh its your lose cos d debate was wonderful.

LOL,beaf i have told you to go and see a shrink before to help you with your split personality disorder.You keep changing your handle like a monkey in heat.You keep on attacking kobojunkie ,she is not on your level mister.The success she has attained in her professional life  is something you may never achieve because you do not have the kind of moral discipline she has.Besides she is one of the most respected women on this forum so buzz off and go and kiss GEJ's butt.

He dey pepper you say una no get bullet train for your country    No be my fault now.shebi u say GEJ na your papa,go ask am why him party give una locomotive train.

DoNotBanMe:
You are a complete eeediot if you keep saying Naija is bad, Naija is bad, whining like a cry baby and comparing Naija with Japan, South Africa etc and you still open Nairaland and make a post. A complete 360 degree eeediot of international standing. thats what you are.

Yes Nigeria is bad and Jonathan is making it even worse with his circus antics.Even babangida would not have debated with himself because he has a brain to at least dribble Nigerians.Your Jonathan is nothing more than a glorified fisherman scamming Nigerians with his so called "humble attitude" facade.

Nigeria has a lot of world records ,here they are:

It is the first nation in the world to have a Police strike

It is the first nation in the world to have a dead president in charge.

It is the nation in the world to have an incumbent president debate with himself during elections period.


Do you not see that you and your boss are a joke,i watched the reality show yesterday with my friends 3 south Africans and 1 Ghanaian.They giggled throughout the whole show.They thought this was the best Nigerian comedy ever.The have even nicknamed Nigeria ; comedy central! When they left my house yesterday,one of the South Africans even asked when the next episode of the "Nigerian south park " will be taking place so he can invite more guests and pay for beers.Can you imagine how i felt when my country is being made fun of in my presence thanks to MR d.um.bluck Jonathan? I guess not because guys like you do not have any self esteem or dignity,as long as GEJ keeps paying your salary you do not care what happens to the 100 million Nigerians living below the poverty line.

Do you not care what the outside world thinks of this country.I thought we were supposed to present an image of a corruption free country.The fact that GEJ debated with himself just shows that Nigeria is the most corrupt and morally rotten country in the world.The whole world laughed at Nigeria yesterday,ask any independent news network to do a survey in the USA ,UK, SA ,e.t.c about what non Nigerians thought of the debate.You will see that Jonathan is not respected anywhere in the world.He is simply known as the love-vendor president.And you come here making all these noise.You should bury your head in shame become your incumbent is not capable.He was not tested at all,he did not go face to face with any of his opponents;instead he created his own artificial luck to soothe himself.I will floor him in a debate and so will my educated Zimbabwean housemade because she is even more articulate than him.

GEJ is a disgrace and so is the office of the federal republic of Nigeria,maybe we should just split and you can let drunk GEJ rule over niger delta republic while we vote for the likes of sound minded rascal fashola to rule over odua republic.We are tired of the circus called PDP and we will end it in 2011.

df2006:
i thot in d last 12 years pdp did not do anything  
funny how folks pick whatever soothes  them just to make a point
shooting your feet here.

So as per your logic restored second hand locomotive trains is an achievement? 

While your PDP spent unknown billions on yeye locomotive trains,South Africa spent only $2.5 billion and achieved a fully operational bullet train network in 3 years : http://www.gautrain.co.za/.

On another note please compare our own railway corp website ( www.nrc-ng.org)to the above one and you will see that everything we do in Nigeria is always below standard even though we spend more money than everyone else.

Like my brother Ibime said,i am glad i have dual citizenship.At least i have options and my kids will grow up in a progressive society devoid of the moral decadence that plagues Nigeria.

Ibime:
@ Playmode,

You sure say you and Henry Okah never bump head for SA before?

When una set-up, I fit help una with logistics and media propaganda, but I no get liver for field operations o!

Sorry sir but OKah is only interested in lining his own pocket besides MEND targets innocent people in public which is an unpatriotic way of fighting for liberation.Bombs are unnecessary in these kinds of situation.Protests can easily do more harm to the Government.

Beaf:
LO! I've just been lurking in the background, having a good laugh throughout the thread. In the beginning it was just anti-GEJ people laughing at their usual rude jokes and engaging in their usual loud and tasteless name calling.
As the debate proceeded, they got progressively quieter, and a couple of them even hailed GEJ.

. . .But by the end of the debate, the diehards were taking their defeat in a very sore way. They swung their filthy words away from GEJ, and hauled them squarely at all Nigerians instead!
The most hilarious point came when two of them revealed their absolute lack of love or concern for the country. Ibime thanked God he has a British passport and Donlittle thanked God he had residency papers (for God knows where). I am 100% sure we can see Buhari's reaction in these class of supporters. Hilarious!!!

You problem is that you always think that everyone who is anti GEJ is anti ND or a buhari,Ribadu or Shekarau supporter.I wont vote for those 3 even if my life depended on it.They are just as clueless as GEJ.My support goes to one man only PAT UTOMI.He is  from ND  too isnt he?

Ibime:
Playmode, relax na, abi everything na fight?

I understand your zeal bro, but you sure so you no go get heart attack with all this one so?

Abi na because you kick off your Utomi campaign yesterday, de guy come withdraw today?

Chillax! Babasoty is my fam, although on the other side of the debate. Let the people choose whichever leader they deserve.

Bros i dey  chillax but remember my words today.If things do not change in Nigeria within the next 90days.A new liberation movement will make  moves  that will stun and change Nigeria.

chamber2:
Your frustration is becoming obvious,why don't you have some rest or do you need iced block?

Frustration? You got it wrong mister,more like regret and pity.I pity d.af.t Nigerians like yourself who will be gnashing their teeth a few months from now wishing they had voted for Pat Utomi instead.Don't worry Nigeria's problems will be solved  this by war or by peace.

Jonathan is just a Scam artist who is playing on the gullibility of Nigerians.A nation that under educates it's populace will always produce a leader of inferior quality.

babasoty:
constructed well or not--- i bet u understand what i am saying---- your family would first pay with their lives for your silly adventures

And i guess your cowardly a.s.s will be there to kill them hey? S.t.u.pid boon!

babasoty:
we are waiting for you and your ilk to come start it--- your families would be the first to be killed first---

As usual baboons abound here.Learn to construct your sentences properly.

When i look at the type of comments that are being made here,it is apparent that a lot of Nigerians have lost it.A nation of retards who are praising Jonathan's terrible performance.I just watched the debate with a group of non Nigerians and they are laughing their bu.tts off at Jonathan's kindergarten performance.

It is obvious that Nigeria can only be saved by a liberation  movement.

JOnathan d JOKER,where is batman to sucker punch this clown.

LOL ,Nigeria is a joke.What a disgrace of a country.A country where the incumbent debates with himself   .The moderators are performing poorly and what's with them saying thank you after every question.

Jonathan can not even speak fluent English,i feel so ashamed to watch him.His answers are way of key.Instead of being articulate like Pat Utomi ,he is just telling long stories.Jonathan ,stick to fishing,you have no IQ.

mithel:
i am for utomi,@playmode,take it easy,i know d situation is very bad an d d way utomi was hittin on points,i wanted to cry for nigeria

why cant we have more leaders like utomi,such a brilliant mind

Seconded

mithel:
i am for utomi,@playmode,take it easy,i know d situation is very bad an d d way utomi was hittin on points,i wanted to cry for nigeria

Bros enough is enough ,by peace or by war PDP must leave.I prefer the latter.BB is not any better but at this time we want the departure of PDP with immediate effect.

Pharoh:
BON divided it into two sessions of four candidates each and goodluck will be debating with three other candidates 2moro. You cannot debate goodluck because you are not a contesting candidate for the presidential election. For the records i am not working for goodluck and do not have any access to him okay.

I may not be able to debate with him but please convey this message to his boys.Nigerians in diaspora are tired.A large  number of them have formed a new Liberation movement that has both a political arm and a military arm.As i speak the group is making preparations to make itself known to Nigerians.Their mission is to save Nigeria from the rot it is currently in by whatever means necessary.I am sure you know what that means,if PDP continues on the looting path ,HEADS will and i mean REAL Corrupt HEADS will roll.You can not defeat the people when they start an uprising!

Pharoh:
You are welcome

Try and ask me to substantiate myself before claiming that i am lieing, did you know that the vice presidential debate had two session yesterday?. The presedential debate is in two session as well but they spread it over two days, please check the link below to educate yourself thanks.

http://www.nedgonline.org/new/#

Maybe you are high on drugs for all those abuse but they do nothing to me okay but check this link to educate yourself.

http://www.nedgonline.org/new/#

This is a Nigerian organized debate and we reserve the right to implement any method that is unique to our specific situation.

And so? How about you pair Pat Utomi  against GEJ? Why can't that happen? Could your unique specific situation be that your man Jonathan is a retarded cretin who cannot even wipe his own ass? Ok how about this ,i am no Ph.D holder neither am i a presidential candidate but i will like to debate against GEJ.I will set up an online channel that everyone who has access to internet connection can tune in to.Don't worry i will pay for everything all jonathan needs to to do is agree to the debate and i will send him a login channel where he can debate with me via Full HD webcam.How about that? Will your president be willing to accept my challenge?

P.S the question will be asked by the viewers via live webchat and we will each be given 60 secs to anwser each question.What do you say ,talk to your man if he has the liver he should contact me at wizkid@experienceit.co.za

Pharoh:
@playmode this reply is for you as well.

What is with all this abuse for the president and beaf, for the records BON is the only organization that tried to carter for the whole aspirants. Goodluck will be debating with ribadu, buhari and shakarau tomorrow according to the schedule of the debate so he was not suppose to be here.

^^^Can you hear yourself? You are a disgrace and you don't deserve to be a Nigerian.I am reading your comment and two of my South Africans friends are here reading along with me.They have just burst into laughter because they think you are a clown.They find it hard to believe that you seriously made the above comment.If you had a brain you will realize your statement shows that you Gej,his wife and all his PDP cronies are dumb buffoons who should be arrested for TREASON and locked up for life.Where in this modafucking world have you seen where they organize two seperate presidential debates where only a few candidates are present  

Please stop disgracing my country and allowing my South Africans friends to laugh at me in my own car.

I will abuse that c.u.n.t you call a president until he is arrested along with that  OBJ and locked up for life.

Their time is coming soon,tell them to get ready .2011 is the year that will make or break Nigeria.

Pharoh:
Utomi is my man . . make we go form our delta state republic jare.

That is not true ,it not that we are not ready for his type.The fact is Nigerians are the most s.t.u.p.i.d on the plant.You see some people saying in the own word that Pat Utomi is a great candidate but their forum signature still carries BB tag.

Why can't we support pat utomi now ,why he have to join a big party before we support him.He does not want to be polluted that is why he chose a party with no baggage ,no ex military dictators and no 419 Pastor.But No, Nigerians are too D'af't to comprehend what is good for them.They prefer to vote based on tribal sentiment and bags of rice.It is clear that Pat Utomi will do a better job than Buhari even fashola cannot perform as well as Pat Utomi.The man has great ideas and his plans are clearly defined.

This is why i am against this election.I think it is a waste of time. Nigerians will have a better future if they take to the streets and demand that PDP relinquish power with immediate effect so that smaller parties will have a chance.Let us be honest with ourselves ,BB are wasting their time and money.They won't win the election as long as corruption in chief Jonathan is president.In a country of sensible people, the citizen will be purchasing arms and ready to fight Jonathan's army tooth for tooth until  he steps down.We Nigerians have lost our sense of right and wrong, we are now content with bags of rice and biscuits hence we sell our children's future to the highest bidder.Such a shame.I am glad i now have dual citizenship ,at least my kids do not have to bother about Nigeria anymore.

If people are not ready to choose the right leader because he belongs to a poor party ,then you must realize that people themselves are corrupt and not very intelligent.
