I never said you say yes to all what the West is proposing, no. But know when to say agree is very important. SA said NO in Ivory Coast crisis, played little or no part in Somalia, and Sudan. And now they are isolating themselves with Libya. That is not the way to run international diplomacy. Defining your interest is very important as you said, and I can say what Nigeria did in Ivory Coast issue, and what we are doing in Libya serves our interest; fortunately too, it serves the interest of our ally.

Why wont SA support the move to remove a dictator, and enthrone democracy? Well, only SA knows!

^^^^

So what did SA achieve? Everyone but SA knows the futility of trying to reason with a mad man. SA missed the point, no one will remember their unsuccessful role, but they will now be seen as stumbling block by the NTC who will has become Libya de facto government. Nigeria by aligning itself with the US, UK, France has gained three important allies in the run-up to the security council position, without doing much running around. Now some may term opportunistic, but in diplomatic circle (where it matters), it is call tactical posturing or better still strategic positioning. SA is gradually isolating itself from the West, it's a void Nigeria is filling.

Now how do will win the Russians and Chinese over? Let see how it rows.

^^^
True, but there is nothing completely wrong in taking the lead while other are on the fence; fortune favours the brave. The United Nation Security Council Seat is the ultimate target, Nigeria and SA are scheming for leadership position. Leaders lead, and that what Nigeria is doing. Let SA follow for now, or remain rooted on the fence.

Great Aregbe, running Osun state via email and sms from Saudi. A$$ kissers as usual on his defense. Carry Aregbe, your boiz have your back covered. Nothing do you!

Nonsense topic!

It's quiet surprising when a man who came to power barely six months was just making too many promises and want to be this or that I just wonder. Seriously I dont know how the problem in the North now has become what a man in far east should worrying about whereas the North themselve are not eve ready for such change or even see education itself as enermy.

I must be right to ask if this governor has done everything needed for his state? I wonder if everybody now in Imo are satisfy and full so the time to dive nose to other peoples affairs is ripe? When you see a politician suddenly jumping over the fence for what is not is business then something is fishing he must be interested in something possibly if care is not taken he may soon become Alhaji Rochas.

Thousands are roaming the street of Imo capital jobless he is not concern about it but he is worry about people who were created to be a virus to anyone who take them as neighbour. He is worry about those who does not care what happen to his own citizen, he is worry about those who belief education is a sin, I just wonder anyway.

Non-indigenes, especially Northern Muslims in Imo State have been assured that their children will also benefit from the free education policy of the government.

Governor Rochas Okorocha said this when he hosted Muslim[/b]s in Government House, Owerri,.

Okorocha said: “[b]My administration will not discriminate against non-indigenes but will rather ensure that everybody benefits from the policies and programmes of the state government.

”

Apparently, the non-indigenes visited the governor to express their fear about the new education policy. Should he have told them that non-indigenes will not benefit? What would have said were to be in his shoes?

ALL THOSE THAT HAVE CONTRIBUTED SO FAR IN THIS THREAD ARE VERY DU.MB AND SLOW THINKERS

You have just called yourself an i.diot. And that's where I stopped reading. You may have to try again.

maclatunji:
Hi Beaf (or his minion anyway), your diversionary tactics are well-noted. All of what you have typed there does not negate the simple truth that both the NJC and the President are acting in contempt of court. It is that simple and you know it. I know somebody who acts like you in real life and believe me, it is the beginning of insanity at worst and paranoia at best.

You want to contest fact with speculation, carry go, something do you.

Call me Beaf or whatever you like, I don't give a rat a$$.

And when did you become a judge to determine the bolded? Let the court decide if he is acting in contempt or not; otherwise these anti GEJ comment are nothing but out of frustration. They President has taken decision to fill a void; if it is against the will of the court, let them pronounce it so.

Yea, you know someone who acts like me, you really know me. Talking of paranoia, I think it's time you looked at the mirror!

T8ksy:
What? Are you crazy

No one will pay 1million naira for that useless stooge currently residing in Aso rock!

How about the [b]Patience [/b]bird ?

Lol, I think it about time Nigeria started [b]regulating [/b]kidnapping. I mean how can one group of Kidnappers ask for 600 Billion Naira ransom, what happens to other kidnappers, do they want to run them out of business by cornering all the funds?

maclatunji:
Keep your hate for the CPC out of this topic. It is not about Buhari or the CPC. It is about the National judicial Council and the President of Nigeria subverting the constitution through their actions. So if you like hate CPC or love the party, it does not matter. Learn to analyse the real issues.

Nobody should alter the status quo when a case is in front of a court. If you let this go, you are encouraging anarchy. People will do as they please; court or no court, judiciary or no judiciary.

The issue cannot be analyzed without mentioning the role of CPC in the last election; any political party that encourages it members to unleash violence on other Nigerians with impunity cannot be absolved in culpability in this saga. How are you sure it is not CPC that is scheming. and plotting behind the scene to use Salami to undermine the judiciary.

Anyway, Salami has taken the matter to court - the same judiciary he strife to undermine. Let's see how this pans out.
Those who must come to equity must come with clean hands, is CPC, ACN and Salami, approaching this matter with clean mind, or do they think whipping up sentiments (just like CPC did after the election) is the answer to their case? I will laugh at the folly, but not now!

CyberG:
I do not imagine that the dumbest president Jonathan can succeed with power as he has no record of succeeding at anything. However, let me see if he can actually surprise Nigeria with actually doing something like Obasanjo. [b]One thing though is I hope Nnaji and Jonathan have enough sense not to hand over this sector to Non-Nigerians, it should be Nigerians first. [/b]Next, it would be better to let the US actualize their interest rather than China. China would do anything to sustain a corrupt system that benefits them more than Nigerians.

And who are these Nigerians that the power sectors should be handed over to? Government cronies, like Obassanjo did with the Steel Company?

Sales of power companies should be done on the basis of competency, track record, and capacity, not on sentiments, and some misplaced sense of patriotism, or favoritism. Nuff said.

@topic

This Bulk Trader initiative is a good development, let's hope Okonjo Iweala and the rest of the team will be able to deliver this critical milestone of the power reform. Gradually, the chess piece are falling in place.

Thanks WellMax for the lyrics.

I cant stop laughing; pay back is bitch, but this bitch is cool.

lol

Lyrics pls, anybody?

Nnaji, please deliver!

@Topic,

I see no problem extending free education to non-indigenes, the SW (Lagos) did it some years back, but why would government fund pilgrimage? Whether for Muslims or Christians, I think unnecessary; Pilgrimages are religious luxury, government has no business wasting money to fund tourism in other countries, while the poor suffer back at home. Misplace priority if you look at it well.

@Topic, that is what should have been done since, rather than all those noise about legality or not. Let the case begin!!

teskyg:
If GEJ no react dem go say he is slow ;now he react dem say he is fast and quick, Nigerians, i too know attitude,

Dude, I tire for this bunch of losers, and noisemakers. Anyone who is not happy should go to court, instead of this rants and raves!

Jonathan has grown ball of steel! He is getting better, and the opposition are losing the script!

razznaija:
When Ameachi became governor everyone was talking about him like he the messiah but i really haven't seen any changes, only the schools and hospitals [/b]that he built and some [size=20pt][b]other facilities[/size], but when it comes to sanitation and roads, rivers sate is a fail.I was living in PH along the Choba,Uniport road until i moved out of the country in 2009 and before i left they were trying to fix the road in late 2008 they had dug the road, but they stopped fixing it in early 2009 and there was dust everywhere along that road, i was talking to someone that visited Nigeria recently and he said that they still haven't fixed the road, but i'm not just talking about that road, there are parts of port harcourt that are an eyesore so what is he actually doing when it comes to the roads and sanitation in PH/Riverstate? I think he's just like the others. What do you guys think?

Not many can boast of what their state governors have done. Clearly Ameachi is a King, in the land of the blind. Let's give that to him!

Is CPC not the party that fielded Buhari, who electoral loss led the lost of innocent corpers in Nigeria.
While I do not believe in this conspiracy theory concerning Salami, I don't have a shred of respect or pity for the plight of CPC.
The and it presidential candidate should answer for the death, destruction, pains, blood, and sorrow meted on Nigeria by their animalistic supporters.

Nonsense!

@topic,

You should be asking if the unemployed should be paid some form of Social Protection/Welfare allowance. That I can begin to imagine. Not this.

@ Topic,

One 'rascal' down, more to go! GEJ has finally added a touch of steel to his big balls! Game on.

I laugh in CPC, ACN and Salami combined.


Can we now focus on other things!

**yawns**

Remii:
The "mad man" led a country that has highest GDP in Africa, owing nobody a dime. has hospitals that work, refineries that produce enough for his people, creates work and housing for all his people, but forgot to recognise that there is life after power.

If our own "sane men" could achieve at least one of his achievements most university graduates driving taxis in US, washing plates in London, prostituting in Italy, carrying drugs in Singapore etc etc, would not have left shore of their countries.

Yea, why didn't you go and live in Libya? The 'grass is greener at the other side' is the mentality of sufferers of inferiority complex!

@Topic,

Why can we offer him asylum? Is that there is no space for a 'mad man' at Yaba Psychiatric Hospital or have we run out space at Maximum Security Prison in Kirikiri? Whichever way we classify him, there would be enough space for the inglorious bast.ard!

olawalebab:
what are you saying?

That the poll should be:

Who was Nigeria Best President?  (past tense)

If you ask who is ? Nigeria Best President ? (present) The only answer is GEJ 

^^^
Flog parents? From which world are you?

@topic
Why not?
Nigeria has the resources, why shouldn't Nigerians benefit? Free education will definitely stem the spate of unprovoked violence in Northern Nigeria, rid the North of polio and poverty, reduce militancy in the Niger Delta creek, and minimize kidnapping in the SE/SS, and reduce arm-robbery, ritual murders, area boys (or rascalism if I may borrow GEJ) in the South West.

Free education is a matter of National Security!

**EDITED**

Let's hope is pans out well. Economic progression of SE is certainly good for Nigeria. Good one!
