Sky Blue:
Peter Odilli should be on that list, lest we ever forget.

Odili has been keeping a low profile but that man is next after Ibori
infact all the present Governors are mega corrupt

[quote author=mama-gee link=topic=409452.msg5646279#msg5646279 date=1268003679]And Soyinka is saying this now because?
He's the biggest Coward in Nigeria. . .
I mean he backed Obasanjo throughout his whole reign as president. . .
And now he's out, he slams him because he has no power to make him rot in jail. [/quote]Do you just wake up and say anything, you dont have to always comment
pls go and read about save Nigeria group, instead of defaming a Nobel Laureate!

I agree with Soyinka, earlier Obasanjo said he had to hand over to the North, recently he said why should there be power rotation between the North and South. I believe he tried for Nigeria but he is sounding a confused old man, are you sure he is not 83

monkeyleg:
They should leave this nonsense and go and Catch IBORI. The Thief is working free

Ibori's turn will soon come

Seems Like Jonathan is what Nigeria needs after 3yrs of autorun, Governors are next on the list

To some, it looked like a display of loyalty to President Umaru Yar'Adua, however misguided, when governors met with Acting President Goodluck Jonathan and made it known that they will not support him if he chooses to run for president in the 2011 elections.

However, NEXT investigations reveal that this was only an act of self preservation.

The Governors Forum is not recognised by any Nigerian law but, since Olusegun Obasanjo's administration, it has been a custodian of enormous powers, due, in no small part, to its influence in appointing ministers.

This group has been unsettled by signals coming from the acting president himself, including his setting up of a body headed by Theophilus Danjuma to advise the Presidency, without consulting them.

There are also signs that the acting president might begin to take a second look at financial impropriety involving governors and some of their cronies. Only four governors are on his side at the moment.

The acting president is also yet to deal with the cabal bent on preserving the myth of President Yar'Adua's recovery, as well as questions about the constitutionality of his ascension into office.

Mr.Jonathan's confusion in the midst of these overwhelming problems is palpable and has hindered him from fully exercising the powers of his new office.

i'm sure there are lots of them still there, they need to fish them out and stop all these every 6months scandal

Fhemmmy:
She is the husband of the man and she has the right to tell you or not.
The husband is currently not in charge, so it is a private matter

Not in this case her husband is President to about 150m Nigerians, and responsibility dictates that things like this be made public to reduce unnecessary anxiety

[quote author=mama-gee link=topic=408793.msg5636474#msg5636474 date=1267832790]Correct me if I'm mistaken. . .
Aren't you the same rumour monger that went around saying Turai is ruling Nigeria from behind the scenes.[/quote]No Mama-gee!

The main culprit in all of this is Turai, why cant she stop holding the Country at ransom and just say the true state of Yar'adua's health and we know where to go from there.

They say power intoxicates!

Its a rumour

Uncle Sege! Happy Birthday!

Watch out Obasanjo will be on the Nigerian Currency one day

@Binna,

I would like to know your view on Sanusi, looks like you believe he is doing the right thing and Soludo was a flop

Are u aware that about 50% of the jobs soludo's policies helped create have been lost. Apart from that the naira lost value more to 150

We are hearing inflation rate is increasing, Please tell me one positive thing Sanusi has done since he got there, and pls dont tell me those banks would have gone down, because i can assure you soludo wont allow that to happen. Plus Soludo is a Professor of Economics not some Msc Islamic or Risk Mgt man. To start with Sanusi is not even qualified for that post, what does he know about the Economy? the only things he mentions is banks banks, I have not heard him for once talk about inflation, employment, exchange rate. I rest my case

biina:
You seem to be able to read sanusi's mind. That is interesting to say the least
Stick to the facts and dissuade from misinformation. Down the line, same would come back to accuse Sanusi of being responsible for the effect of their earlier misinformation.

Biina please read the Next article again, you will see its clearly stated there,

You seem to be the only person i have met in support of Sanusi, i wonder why

biina:
my issue is with the added adjective of 'massive' and likening it to the unchecked lending we had post consolidation, which was problem not because of the volume but the areas (stock market and oil & gas) to which the facilities were predominantly extended.

As carefully as Sanusi may choose his words, we all know he is trying to encourage lending volume the way it used to be, I am not aware that CBN increased their rates to Banks so the logical conclusion is lending dropped below its former level (with the same rates from CBN) and now Sanusi is trying to pack up the MESS he started by looking for ways to encourage 'massive' lending again.

From time banks will not lend to the common man because they are high risk customers, so basically its still to their former target(customers), i stick to the fact that Sanusi is very confused!

biina:
Why cant you simply provide evidence to support your earlier claims?

Guy did you read the title of the post also at all??

Why are u defending Sanusi blindly, abi u be Sanusi?

biina:
another misrepresentation of facts. Where did the CBN say they wanted to encourage 'massive' lending

Oga did u read the article at all, pls also check the Original Post

"We will reduce the level of interest the banks earn with us to encourage them to seek other areas, which means lending," Mr. Sanusi said

http://234next.com/csp/cms/sites/Next/Money/Business

Am i Lost?? I thot the whole wahala in the Banking sector was because they gave out too much? So now again you want to encourage massive lending

Was that not the samething Soludo encouraged and Sanusi said he did a bad job, at least he could not have known that the margin loans will go bad.

SANUSI = CONFUSED!

MrCrackles:
It is not too bad if your barracuda mouth start something positive. . .
Rather than sit behind a dilapidated monitor, typing away furiously on an old school keyboard

That right there is why Nigeria is the way it is - Divided no cooperation

jumobi1:
Yea. Poster, do you have any plans?

For me i'm starting with joining Save Nigeria Group

but we need to come together on NL and put in our effort to do something no more just talks or years from now we still keep talking

99% of Nigerians want change but will do nothing apart from talk!

A good combination for 2011 is El-rufai/Dora even tho Dora might try to dictate what happens, lol

I really i'm waiting to see who People Deceiving People Party will put forward, shameless party

Mrs Mariam Uwais- Is she not the one representing Mutallab, i am VERY sure she went to court with the legal team!

Turai praises jonathan’s loyalty >By Ayo Okulaja and Idris Akinbajo

The meeting between Acting President Goodluck Jonathan and Turai Yar’Adua, wife of the president, at the weekend, was devoid of recrimination and bad blood, a source close to the Presidency told NEXT.

During the meeting, Mrs. Yar’Adua focused on the themes of loyalty and betrayal. The meeting, which was attended by Mr. Jonathan with his wife Patience, was said to be brief and straight to the point.

The acting president was still unable to see the ailing President Umaru Yar’Adua, who had arrived in the country two days earlier.

She is starting to sound like an attention seeking slowpoke![/quote]You nor get sense for saying that, If she nor talk you will complain now shes talking you have to insult her! not needed

riversman:
who is this RAT? dont know u man

Sorry shows you are too young to remember him!

Its going to a week since Former President Yar'adua came back so far no news agency has carried any news on Jonathan seeing him. It further shows that the so called cabal are hiding an almost dead man.

What more is NASS waiting for? Yar'adua should be removed in the national interest of the Country ASAP!

ok we have pointed fingers and feel we know the cause of this mess

lets go for solution!

RichyBlacK:
I wonder why fellow Nigerians get all defensive and annoying when asked real honest questions about Nigeria's development?

Until we start being honest about our real problems, to whomever is interested in listening, Nigeria will remain on that familiar path to nothingness.

u got it richyblack and we complain when Ojo maduekwe goes out there and talk the same thing (defending the Country blinding)

Does anyone know how i can get a ptdf scratch card before the end of february?

This is a total mess is it that NASS cant see it and just kick this yar'adull of a man out i guess they want to wait till the military intervenes and then we start we should have done this or that all over the place

As much as i feel Obasanjo tried for Nigeria, I believe all this was his fault

abeg make them impeach yar'adua jare, and let us have peace

Turai Yar'Adua has bundled her gravely ill husband onto an air ambulance and the couple and a coterie of close aides were making their way back to Abuja last night, scheduled to arrive in the pre-dawn darkness, highly placed sources told us last night.

As the nation's capital was gripped in the anxiety and near panic induced by the news, a convoy of vehicles including a new Ford E-250 intensive care ambulance made its way from Aso Rock and arrived in a secluded area of the presidential wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, awaiting its fragile cargo.

As at the time of going to press, it was not clear if the aircraft had landed, or in which city it would land. The sources say the ambulance was accompanied by the Presidential jet and that the recent installation of additional life support machine at the Presidential Villa suggests that Mr. Yar'Adua will be taken directly to Abuja, although apparently the flight plans filed on departure also list Kano and Katsina.

The news of the President's arrival is reportedly causing a lot of anxiety in Abuja especially among politicians, many of whom had prepared themselves for a post Yar'Adua era. Speaking to NEXT on condition of anonymity a source said the timing of the President's return is suspect especially as he is still clearly ill and in no position to undertake such an arduous journey. "We face total political chaos and government paralysis," an influential retired general told NEXT.

It is being speculated that Mrs. Yar'Adua, who orchestrated the return, is fearful of acting president Goodluck Jonathan's growing stature and acceptance as de-facto president of the country.
