sukkot:Can you shed more light on those arrows with 11.5 11.3 respectively? And how they correlate with Borno state in Nigeria. It's quite significant, as we need to know why the west decided to oust GEJ. Cheers 1 Like |

Tdhforreal:They is nothing more to shed light on in relation to Yobe than that they want stability and less distractions in the country to investments and by the way, the coordinates 11.5 11.3 in Yobe are in Yobe State and not in Borno state Cant you see they did not OUST Jonathan at all on the cover? Dont you see him smiling on the cover as he was predicted to be re-sworn in, only for them to jump ship and abandon him? Watch his hand held up as predicted re-sworn in Of course, they did a turnaround on that 1 Like |

otr1: In most parts of Africa people were nude. Even today, there are still lots of under developed places in Africa were their indigenes are at best half-naked. What exactly is your point? Africa still remains the most under developed continent on the planet with the highest poverty rate. Everything we are today is as a result of what we learnt from Europeans. Now, if you feel that at a certain point in our history Africa, as a continent not just a part, was the center of trade you need to as yourself why we are at this stage. My initial comment was supposed to evoke critical thinking and I was expecting a better response but instead, and unfortunately, you came along with nothing to add but chose to pick just one sentence and expect an argument. If you didn't see anything thought provoking in my comment, stick your fingers in your assssssssssss |

hahn:I'm not interested in argument, just want to correct that wrong impression. I don't know about other parts of Africa, and that's why I told you "In my part of Africa" Whitemen didn't give us cloths. We didn't learn anything new from the whites. We had a working society and Africa was on course until the political and economic invasion by the Europeans. African would have been a better place without European colonization, because most if not all of our problems can be traced back to their interference. 1 Like 1 Share |

JustCare:What's to note? Fact is "The Economist" staged and instigated a "coup" as it were and set GEJ up, left him hanging out dry with that inciting article, abandoning him, after first celebrating him as re-sworn in and then suggesting to Nigerians vote for Buhari in same article, Another fact right there, is "The Economist" predicted a smiling Jonathan to be in their circle, working for them in 2015, and even hinted with the coordinates 11.5, 11.3 that Yobe where Boko Haram emanated from, needs to be dealt with but then come February "The Economist" jumped ship rooting for Buhari Refer to http://www.economist.com/news/leaders/21642168-former-dictator-better-choice-failed-president-least-awful Jonathan was exasperated and replied with "I don’t need your support, Jonathan tells Economist magazine" The point is that the "The Economist" predicted that a smiling Goodluck Jonathan, the winner of the election, as re-sworn in on the "The Economist" cover, but chickened out of the prediction at the last hour. The Economist's turnabout and rooting for Buhari was an afterthought It dawned and became clear to them that Jonathan is "pouring sand, sand in the oil they are carrying", so on Feb 7th 2015, "The Economist" back stabbed him, left the knife dug in with that "A former dictator is a better choice than a failed president on... Goodbye Jonathan" article even after initially endorsing him Inspite of earlier warnings to him, like in: http://www.economist.com/news/middle-east-and-africa/21601839-incompetence-nigerias-president-and-government-hurting-countrys, they still had faith in him been re-sworn in until the last hour, when they lost faith, jumped ship and came out boldly with: "We are relieved not to have a vote in this election. But were we offered one we would—with a heavy heart—choose Mr Buhari. Mr Jonathan risks presiding over Nigeria’s bloody fragmentation. If Mr Buhari can save Nigeria, history might even be kind to him" "http://www.economist.com/news/leaders/21642168-former-dictator-better-choice-failed-president-least-awful |

AbuMikey:Correction! The Latitude and Longitude coordinates 11.5 11.3 zeroes on Yobe By the way, Yobe is in Yobe State and not in Borno state!! 11.5, 11.13 are coordinates which gives you Yobe, in North East Nigeria. Here are some interesting facts about Yobe for you: In 1983, when Chadian forces invaded Nigeria in the Borno State, Buhari used the forces under his command to chase them out of the country, crossing into Chadian territory in spite of an order given by President Shagari to withdraw.This 1983 Chadian military affair led to more than 100 victims and "prisoners of war". Until 1991 Borno State contained what is now Yobe State On 14 May 2013, President Goodluck Jonathan declared a state of emergency in Yobe State along with neighboring Borno State and Adamawa State, due to the activities of the terrorist network Boko Haram. Abubakar Shekau, the leader of Boko Haram, was born in Shekau village of Yobe Fast forward, the Chadian forces alongside Nigeria are now assisting and fighting Boko Haram in Yobe Just as in the artwork on the Beatles' Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album cover sleeve, the writing is |

AbuMikey: cecegorz- RESPONSE-TO- sukkot's-thread:I think sukkot rubbished the thread with opinions and statements like the one below in quotes, and sounded like one who has read too many Marvel comic books as a teenager but cant seem to forget about them "the return of the ancient gods aka what some like to call nibiru aka the saints aka the prophets of old, and because of this a tenth planet to commemorate this return will be added to our solar system called planet X" Instead of pretending like he knew something about the "The Economist" magazine cover he should learn to use his bloated elementary knowledge of deciphering in a less cliche, less Black Jew Brotherhood and less marvel comic manner |

MuttleyLaff:Jonathan was exasperated and replied with "I don’t need your support, Jonathan tells Economist magazine" according to you, the above statement nailed GEJ SO they actually came down here and voted out GEJ |
Re: The Economist 2015 Cover Is Filled With Cryptic Symbols And Dire Predictions by MuttleyLaff: 10:29pm On Apr 06, 2015 |
JustCare:Another poster said that, I didnt toe that line, eaz said so, not me https://www.nairaland.com/2124687/world-powers-decided-nigerian-elections/2#32317433 JustCare: Read or follow the whole of this thread painstakingly to be familiar with the train of posts on the thread and also the other "The World Powers Have Decided The Nigerian Elections Winner. It Is Not GEJ." thread. I am only pointing out that The Economist magazine cover PREDICTED GEJ won the election, and so commisioned Matt Herring to cryptically draw in a SMILING BEING GEJ RE-SWORN IN on that edition cover only for them to baulk out, stabbed GEJ in back with a subsequent damning article and did a turnabout endorsing & rooting for Buhari They didnt have to actually come down here and vote out GEJ, the closing sentence of that article was effective enough to nail the coffin for GEJ http://www.economist.com/news/leaders/21642168-former-dictator-better-choice-failed-president-least-awful http://www.sugardaily.ng/i-dont-need-your-support-%E2%80%A2-pres-jonathan-lashes-out-at-economist-magazine-for-supporting-buhari/ |

Re: The Economist 2015 Cover Is Filled With Cryptic Symbols And Dire Predictions by MuttleyLaff: 12:48am On Apr 07, 2015 |
JustCare:Good that you went through all JustCare:I didnt suggest any of the above changed minds but showed how the "The Economist" flexed and exercised their predictive power only to chicken out of it abandoning GEJ and sent out feelers to Naija, which to some degrees would have something to do with some naijas making up their minds The "The Economist" have sold their copies so enough of this taking panadull for another man's headache JustCare:Though it's inconsequential whether am in Nigeria or not, what are you getting at with "hope you're in Nigeria" Are you trying to insinuate something or tell me something like stolen election, rigging etc with that last sentence? |
Re: The Economist 2015 Cover Is Filled With Cryptic Symbols And Dire Predictions by JustCare: 1:28am On Apr 07, 2015 |
MuttleyLaff: Feelers indeed... it never happen bro. The question of you being in Nigeria have actually made me to know that you were not any close to the election places. Anyway, I'm not insinuating any rigging brouhaha, though that possibility can't be ruled out in Nigeria now... well, I won't over flog the issue. The Nigerian people voted bro...and we know better how it went. Don't like discussing Nigerian politics anyway...it's a politics characterised with primitiveness, poverty, tribalism and illiteracy. #lovemycountrythough 1 Like 1 Share |

JustCare:If no feelers indeed. Why did the presidency get jittery after that "The Economist"damning article? When saying feelers, it means here inciting the electorate with biased articles not favouring the incumbent or sitting president. No doubt the Nigerian electorate voted out GEJ. We are saying or have said the same thing, meanwhile the fact remains that "The Economist" made predictions for the year 2015 on their magazine cover, realised they have miscalculated as regards GEJ been re-sworn back in to power in 2015. No doubt the catalyst was the much desired change that swayed Nigerians The point is the "The Economist" was flexing muscles playing the prophet. Prophecy is not beans and this proved to be true as they got it wrong on that cover. This they soon realised which is why they jumped ship and let GEJ hung out high and dry 1 Like |

MuttleyLaff: maybe you were one of the forerunners of such information which its resultant effect was extremely negligible. Like I said before... we Nigerians knows what happened and how it happened...it's our headache not necessarily yours. so I still stand my ground on the things I said in my previous post pertaining to the mentality of the voting masses. You're always welcomed as an observer, perhaps from a distance |
Re: The Economist 2015 Cover Is Filled With Cryptic Symbols And Dire Predictions by MuttleyLaff: 7:33am On Apr 07, 2015 |
JustCare:Beg your pardon, forerunners of which information are you insinuating here my guy. All done so far, is pointing out the anomalies and misleading analysis done here on this thread or the other on that "The Economist" cover as regards GEJ and the 2015 election outcome. We Nigerians, I included too, know what really went down or how it went down here. As said before, am not prepared to take panadull for the "The Economist" magazine's Maybe I missed what you said or wrote about the mentality of the voting Nigerians masses, care to repeat it here again. Did I detect a bit of sarcasm in the last sentence? |

Yes... was only doubting your identity |

JustCare: Seems we are on the same page then, me no discuss politics too. Don't like to. Not in any category above, only putting the records straight as per GEJ on that "The Economist" magazine cover. Their prediction, and how they realised they've goofed to the extent of making a turnaround in a subsequent article People don't seem to notice the raised hand of a smiling GEJ on the cover, cryptically alluding he was re-sworn in |

Though Oba of Lagos jokingly said what he said, I do as those present at the meeting too understood why and where he was coming from. He didn't want anyone putting sand-sand in the oil JustCare:You're right as God had already passed over control to man, when he was let them have dominion. Which is why it'll be interesting to know how serious Lagos really wants to deliver itself now that the centre/federal is in the bag. |
