There was never going to be a bye-election in the first place. Waiting on the new Adamawa state governor to declare which political party he belongs to; This declaration will determine if Fintirin will go on with his appeal or not. ![]() |

[size=13pt]Arms deals have NEVER been publicized transactions,they are always done discreetly; and even when there are issues in such transactions,it is meant to be handled discreetly. South Africa has stabbed Nigeria in the back twice as it relates to these arms issues,they've seized Nigerian money based on very false pretense. South Africa has ruined the element of surprise that the Nigerian government may have wanted to use against Boko Haram in terms of procurement of sophisticated arms. Note that both transactions were endorsed by our national security adviser. South Africa now took advantage of the political polarization of Nigeria to push this delicate transactions to the media/public and deepen mutual suspicions in Nigeira. The opposition,as usual chose to make a meal out of the arms deal gone wrong. Most of us know that $9m or $5m is too small an amount to steal for any serious Nigerian corrupt politician wanting to launder money; why go through the stress of South Africa when Swiss banks are still there. The South Africans are behaving strangely,they know the effect their humiliating actions are taking on Nigeria's psyche. We must not forget that ever since Nigeria upstaged South Africa as Africa's largest economy,that nation has not known sleep. Nigeria now carries more real influence than South Africa in the comity of nations, its a fact. As a matter of fact South Africa is now an embarrassment to the BRICS grouping. Anything to sabotage Nigeria's progress and slow down her economy will make South Africa very happy right now. Let's all keep watching, I expect a robust response from the Nigerian government. Did I mention that Atiku Abubakar is President Jacob Zuma's bosom friend? Immediate retaliatory recommendations to the Nigerian government: 1. Halt the broadcast of on-going Big Brother Africa show in Nigeria. 2. Promulgate a new executive policy limiting foreign mobile phone companies to not more than 20% Market share of Nigeria's telecoms industry. 3. Temporarily recall Nigeria's ambassador to South Africa.[/size] |
okechukwu3:[size=13pt]To hell with your fake call for prayers, you are a Boko Haram apologist. 70 soldiers died because u and Sahara reporters went there to count? U people just keep helping Boko Haram spread false news and give them an edge over our gallant army. Some media houses already reported that Nigerian airforce helicopters led in the attack, including several tanks, over 400 militants killed and you are here claiming that 7 APCs have been captured by the militants God pass una![/size] |

EldaTimba: I followed this tread this morning thinking that It would be on front page now. Seun, please do the needful.We tire for Seun o. Anyways, I'm just very angry with former President Obasanjo for not forcefully taking Bakassi from these 1diots. It is the fall of Bakassi into Camerounian territory that is giving them mouth. |
chris365: i humbly await the day we will invade that village and clear their doubt once and for all. if i be president today, first thing i'll do concerning our armed forces is start local production of vital hardwares and amunitions, boost the economy and free it from foreign donations and interferance to make us survive any sanctions.... then retake bakassi by force and extend it to yaunde.U dey mind those yeye people? |
Aksonman: Its indeed very shameful,more painful is the fact that foreign media may buy into Cameroon's story just to discredit Nigeria army.Patiently waiting for BBC's version. Surprisingly, SAHARA REPORTERS confirmed that it was indeed Nigeria army that killed this Shekau impostor. |
IbokUtoroh: na dis kind news suppose dey front page not only to sensitize nigerians on the evil propaganda by our apc brothers but also to shame cameroun govt and her people for misinforming the whole world about their fight against insurgency in the western country.WORD |
NaMe4: Thanks op. I was perplexed when I saw that headline a day ago.Our media just has to wake up and confirm stories before posting it on their websites. Simple |
atlwireles: I cannot blame Cameroun, nah we give them mouth. I actually saw threads, where our so called Nairaland military experts were comparing Nigeria's army to cameroun, that was enough insult for me.LOL...heavy insult. I heard that Cameroon has been an oil producing country since 1960s, but all their oil wells belongs to France. I also heard that the French parliament in Paris approves Cameroon's annual budget. |
publisher: Boko Haram has always been a Nigerian problem; for many years, the Nigerian government had complained that Boko Haram uses Camerounian territory to launch attacks on Nigeria. A top Nigerian diplomat even described Cameroun as the weak link in our cross-border terror war.@OP, MAY GOD BLESS YOU, whoever you are. |
When the Nigerian army started reporting massive victories against Boko Haram in recent days, some of us jokingly asked, "What will the opposition try next?" Lo and behold, Bomb blast in Kano-may souls of those innocent students rest in peace. We've also noticed that a cross section of labour unions began issuing threats of nationwide strikes for no just reason-starting with NUPENG. Last week members of NUPENG for no just reason threatened to go on strike in protest of some Bad roads in South East & South-South (like there are no bad roads in other parts of Nigeria) and some of us wondered-did these roads just go bad now? Before FG began work on roads like Benin-Ore and Lagos-Ibadan, how many times did NUPENG go on strike in past years when these roads were death traps? Few days later NUPENG and its affiliates abandoned "bad roads" as reasons for going on strike, they are now focusing on an internal PENSIONS issue within the NNPC to promote another round of strikes that would surely lead to fuel scarcity. NUPENG and co know that Nigerians hate fuel scarcity and as Nigerians queue for hours in petrol stations or pay inflated transport fares, President Goodluck Jonathan will be blamed. Who benefits? - The opposition, especially now that election season is very near. Now let's take a look at the VERY UNNECESSARY CONTROVERSY caused by Nigerian union of Teachers over EBOLA and FG's proposed school resumption date. Days and even weeks after Patrick Sawyer brought Ebola into Nigeria,most NUT members where still involved with one summer school or another. It was the Nigerian Federal Government in its own wisdom that ordered these summer camps closed and shifted school resumption dates. Today, at least as i write this piece, Nigeria has no Ebola case; we just have some people still under survellance in Lagos and Port-Harcout. The Nigerian government,again in its wisdom,rightfully shifted schools' resumption date forward and what are we seeing? Protests and threats of strike by the NUT; the other day there was a so-called Ebola awareness / protest rally in Lagos where known pro-opposition figures and a cross section of Yoruba-Nollywood actors featured prominently-they issued a communique caling on schools to ignore FG's directive and not resume on September 22. Why didn't these rallies take place when over 15 Nigerians were infected with Ebola and battling for their lives? Why is NUT and co protesting when there's currently no Ebola victim in Nigeria? They claim they want to protect children from Ebola? Well, if this is the case we might as well withdraw children from the kids section of various churches or mosques, amusement parks and any other children's party. Not so? My own opinion is that most of these strike and threats of strike are discreetly sponsored or supported by "the opposition",trying to maintain a chaotic situation and stopping the government of President Jonathan from claiming the following victories; 1. Fighting terrorists to a standstill, 2. Ensuring adequate supply of petroleum products nationwide, 3. Successfully wiping out the dreaded Ebola from Nigeria. Again,this is just my own opinion. |
So that there's no confusion: Let me state here categorically that I am one of Linda Ikeji's haterz. - I have serious biff with her. - I am envious of her success, her wealth, her media power, her goodlooks, everything. - She just posted a picture of her latest brand new 2014 Range Rover sport, and I am so jealous of her right now. My one and only 1996 modelled car has been with the mechanic for weeks...on life support. GOOD, now I've got that out of my system, on to my write-up: Those who knew Linda Ikeji from her modelling days in Unilag up to her shortlived relationship with an African-American OAP based in Lagos will tell you that she has always been the focused type. Never really exposing too much about herself. Little wonder that today she has become a very successful blogger by not exposing herself but exposing other people. Linda Ikeji is one 'lucky' lady that has relied on other peoples 'misfortune' to attain success. Relatively unknown Linda Ikeji had been blogging for a while until she encountered a major breakthrough. A young Nigerian lady was raped by several men somewhere in the East, everything caught on camera. Linda got hold of the video, posted it on her blog, created a quasi anti-rape campaign and 'GBAM', she became a national and (to an extent) international sensation. Linda Ikeji built on this,and today she's a multi-millionare blogger operating from a free blog site. Right now, no one remembers the name or face of the rape victim that brought stardom to Linda Ikeji's blog. I wonder if Linda also remembers this poor lady and makes it a point of duty to support her financially. Maybe she's already doing just that, maybe she isn't. Today, 'the Linda Ikeji' blog is one of the most influential Nigerian social media platforms, probably second only to Nairaland. However, in spite of all its imperfections, Nairaland has atleast emerged as a viable platform for national discourse and social orientation. What has Linda Ikeji's blog contributed to Nigeria that warrants us making her so wealthy? Her blog is a vessel for gossips, rumor mongering and occasional gory materials (videos & pictures). Whenever Linda Ikeji posts gory materials on her site she solemnly invites her readers to come see what she's posted and 'weep' with her. When Linda posts gossips, she invites us to come marvel or laugh with her. As we (her readers) join her in weeping, marveling or laughing, her traffic swells and she smiles to the bank. Her readers remain where she left them- weeping,marveling and laughing. In fairness to Linda Ikeji, her blog is not just about gossips and gore, it's also about the good life. A section of Corporate Nigeria has embraced Linda Ikeji, many celebrities have done the same. Linda Ikeji can make or mar celebrity careers, reputations and brands at will, we have given her such powers for absolutely nothing in return. There are thousands of Nigerian bloggers who are real intellectuals and have great insights to offer society. But corporate Nigeria will never support such blogs/bloggers. We have many entertainment bloggers out there constantly trying to highlight and tackle mediocrity in Nigerian showbizness, but no Nigerian celebrity has their time. It's all about Linda Ikeji, a so-called blogger that has hardly ever written any socially relevant and intellectually sound article (in her own wriiten words) capable of generating inspiring discussions and challenging society. The few times Linda Ikeji manages to post her own original articles is when she's either defending some blackmail allegation(s) or showcasing her latest acquisition. Linda Ikeji is not just a gossp Queen, she's also a 'copy and paste' queen and it's paying off BIG TIME. Dear Linda, 'abeg' enjoy your 2014 Range Rover Jeep jare and please don't ever stop advising your numerous readers on how to become rich through hardwork and God's grace. Afterall, most Nigerian politicians give us the same advise while flaunting their ill gotten wealth and we believe them, or don't we? |
darqly: Op, when people like you make such remarks and assertions, one is tempted to ask you the following-Just remember this, the OP concluded his post by saying "We MUST fight Boko Haram with everything thing we've got." This (i believe) acknowledges the fact that Boko Haram is a very potent enemy and renders all your points useless. |
duni04: Topic=stupidduni04=Mumu |
Truckpusher: Nigerians need to understand that Boko Haram has a lot of sympathizers even here in NL.Endorsed. |
Bros,i TOTALLY agree with u. Just now there are reports that a group of terrorists are attacking some parts of Michika LG but Boko Haram media wing SAHARA REPORTERS has already started telling the world that Boko Haram has taken over Michika LG. |
LOL!!! For those NL commentators on this thread daring me to release my own music/song before criticising Psquare, i say a big "THANK YOU O" However,the next time you all open your dirty mouths from the comfort of cheap beer palours to criticize your favourite football team or striker for failing to play well & score goals...remember your advise to me and do same with your respective football careers. Hypocrites! |
Till date I have been unable to watch Psquare's Ejeajo music video from begining to end for no other reason than the fact that i find that video/song utterly disgraceful. Most devoted/diehard Psquare fans feel the same way too, but many will not say a word; some keep on replaying Ejeajo, hoping the song will eventually grow on them...its not happening. Psquare has released its first major flop and the inclusion of American rapper T.I will not save them this time around. The Ejeajo song sounded below average, ordinary, nothing catchy, no rhythm and to sum it all up, totally tasteless. It seems as though the sole purpose of this song was just to feature T.I and break into the American market. I can bet my very last kobo that any American (Black) who's opportuned to watch Ejeajo video will laugh off his seat saying, "Who are these African booty scratchers trying too hard to sound like us and dance better than Usher?" I felt the same way watching Peter Okoye putting in so much "gra gra" into his dance moves. But on a serious note, about Nigerian artistes wanting to break into the American market; do these Nigerian artistes think that the Jay Zs, P Diddys and Dr Dre's will sit back and watch Nigerian music break into US Hip hop market? Especially in an America where music and sports are the few things black Americans can really hold on to. So they (Black American artistes) will allow some black African musician to come in and steal their domestic market share? Nigerian music is already big in many African countries like Kenya,Zambia,Ghana and even South Africa. Do we think indigenous artistes and music promoters in these African countries are happy with Nigerians dominating their respective music scenes? Why will Black Americans not stay proactive and stop Nigerian music from gaining foothold in their market? Now here's the truth,someone should tell Psquare that its time to go back to the drawing board and re-invent themselves. I don't know the duo's football age but i'm guessing they are in their mid thirties. When dancing musicians start growing older or maturing, they concentrate more on the quality of their music, where more matured dance steps are incorporated. 'Matured dance steps' here simply means slow but sleeker dance moves, just like USHER in GOOD KISSER. And definitely not the 'gra gra' Peter Okoye was showcasing in Ejeajo, epecially to a lousy song. I think it's time the Okoye twins take a break from music for some time; perhaps they can go concentrate on their respective marriages or try to mentor younger musicians with the ability to sing and dance. After a few years, Psquare can return with a new style and sound. For now,Psquare has lost it and i hope their closest fans and admirers tell them this truth before it's too late. Remember Dbanj? |
Once again I salute APC's media managers and their ability to turn the tides of information to their advantage leaving the PDP often times bewildered and reactionary. It all started with El Rufai reading the Australian's report and quickly running to his Facebook page to start a media campaign against two individuals mentioned in the report-Modu Sheriff and Ihejirika. Like play like play,these two individuals became the centre of media scrutiny. Is it possible that El Rufai did not read parts of that report where 'Mr Oyinbo Negotiator' pointed accusing fingers at MEMBERS OF THE OPPOSITION in his report, urging Mr President to act against them? Perharps El Rufai and the APC trusted that the gullibility of their suppporters and other Nigerians will see them through. Well guess what? APC has indeed been vindicated, their Nigerian supporters are ridiculously gullible. |
Just in-BBC's LATEST HEADLINE: "NIGERIA MILITANTS SUFFER HEAVY LOSSES." Check it out on www.bbcafrica.com It's official, SAHARA REPORTERS are DEMONIC LIARS,they must have been the initial source that misled the BBC into sending out that first tweet claiming Boko Haram had taken over Bama. |
idupaul: To clear the air the Army commander in Bama should hold a press confernce later today from the office of the highest ranking govt official . That should boost the morale of Nigerians.. God Bless the Nigerian ArmyEarlier Boko Haram was repelled at Bama,but everyone knows that they were going to regroup just like they did to that Police training school. They also want to pick up bodies of their dead comrades. So the battle is still ongoing, a comprehensive press conference for whatever reasons may not be the best for now. My own opinion though. |
jmaine: Watch as the APC peeps go sad with this development . .I have never see such band of never do well in my life . . . .With this strange attitude, sometimes i wonder what APC will look like if they ever become the ruling party. |
theassassin: In a sane country APC and their cronies are long gone now.Its a very sad and painful development. APC is clearly more media savvy than PDP, I would have hoped the APC would use its media strength to sell their developmental manifestos and ideologies to Nigerians,not using it to pull down national structures that they hope to one day occupy. |
