 Politics › Re: House Where Lugard Signed Amalgamation Of Northern Southern Nigeria. -PICS by Rawani: 6:57pm On Apr 22, 2015*. Modified: 8:45pm On Apr 22, 2015 |
Frederick John Dealtry Lugard, 1st Baron Lugard GCMG, CB, DSO, PC (22 January 1858 – 11 April 1945), known as Sir Frederick Lugard between 1901 and 1928, was a British soldier, mercenary, explorer of Africa and colonial administrator, who was Governor of Hong Kong (1907–1912) and Governor-General of Nigeria (1914–1919). He who knows not where he comes from cannot tell where he is going. 9 Likes 9 Shares

Power is truly transient. "One Mr. Tambuwal" is now Governor-elect Tambuwal, while IGP Suleiman Abba is now "One Mr. Sule". Be kind to everyone on the way up; you’ll meet the same people on the way down. - Wilson Miznor 197 Likes 10 Shares |

Not surprising, this is what happens when faced with an uncertain future, which Ndigbo should have considered before going all gears and pistons with an unrivaled campaign of hate and character assassination. Besides I don't think fura drinking old certificateless terrorists know anything about building Niger bridges or constructing roads, so Ndigbo stuff your requests deep inside where the sun don't shine. 36 Likes 2 Shares |

Let's take a minute to remember this is a party that boasted of ruling for the next 60 years, now whining about little victories and being bullied - while still in power. By the way ignore the Ekiti veil, Sekibo was really referring to the globally condemned Rivers state elections, he knows no sane tribunal dare pronounce it as free and fair in light of the paralyzing evidence available. 85 Likes 8 Shares |

I think they have looked front, back, and side-to-side and cannot see how Jonathan's presidency benefited the region apart from the appalling enrichment of a few cronies. They must have also realized that their tacit endorsement of Dokubo's rants against Nigerians have exposed them as being arrogant and permissive of impunity as far as their brother is in power. The realization that they cannot be trusted at the center any longer, courtesy of the antics of Edwin Clark et al. must have dawned on them as well, a reality which is worsened by the campaign of hate that was led against the amiable General. Just a fear of reaping sown seeds really... 4 Likes |

They are both progressives who have served this country with remarkable loyalty and commitment, therefore party lines are unsurprisingly disregarded for the greater good of the country and continent. My only regret is that if he is eventually appointed, the country would be deprived of the direct input of this technocrat who led the only successful sector under GEJ's administration. 72 Likes |

Akume and Saraki need to put their ambitions on the back burner. I trust Tinubu/Oyegun on this. That said however, Akume deserves the role as he has been the minority leader in the house for a significant period, and his leadership of the opposition especially during the "take-a-bow" saga has been sterling and exemplary. As for the PDP, dream on. 32 Likes 1 Share |

It's the shock of defeat, the sting of irrelevance, and the perturbations of an uncertain future. How people can wish gloom and doom for the same country they inhabit is not as surprising considering one of the greatest acts of human s.tupidity historically is cutting one's nose to spite his own face. 3 Likes |

| Politics › Re: PDP May Woo Dangote? by Rawani: 5:17am On Apr 20, 2015 |
Dangote is a career industrialist, entrepreneur and risk taker. However it's highly unlikely he will choose to be partisan and risk his enviable achievements, reputation and business concerns for Nigerian presidential politics, especially considering the mud slinging and character assassination that comes with it. When his 650,000 bpd (world's largest) refinery is completed in 2017 in Lagos, he would have contributed more to our petroleum industry than many Presidents in the recent past. The PDP must be shaking in confused panic to consider a career industrialist with no political history as the party's messiah, I thought they actually had a rebound strategy (apart from attacks before the President is sworn in) judging from the way their supporters have been making noise here. |

Regardless of the IMF'S checkered history, fuel subsidy programs are incubation centers for corruption (at least in the Nigerian context) and should be completely scrapped. Studies have shown the actual end user cost of petrol in Nigeria to be N35/litre . Petroleum subsidy in Nigeria is simply a scam. 14 Likes 3 Shares |

No doubters without basis or justification can deny Nigerians the sterling leadership the red-capped engineer offers. Engr. Kwankwaso should be more useful as Minister of Works if he agrees to forfeit his time at the Senate. General Buhari has clarified the kinds of technocrats he seeks to work with so I'm sure Kwankwaso has been penned down already. Abuja should not be selfish, the country needs to benefit from this man's excellence. 1 Like 1 Share |

I was utterly startled by people dismissively saying Nigeria is not ready for nuclear power, why are we not asking HOW we can get ready for nuclear power, it's an inevitable path we might have to take if we are to achieve our goals for power generation, transmission and distribution considering our capacity needs. We should focus on drawing up a plan of how we could develop or provide the infrastructure, systems, frameworks and change agents that would enable us to seamlessly embed this technology and exploit it safely and effectively. Developed nations utilising nuclear power did not suddenly get "nuclear-ready" by simply flaunting their white skin, but by serious planning, experimentation and mistakes, mistakes which we will not have to repeat with proper planning. 1 Like |
