Mayowa retreating from the war front?
Nothing new there.
These are the same people that will re-appear from no where to claim victory when others have done the dirty job.

At least he and his ilk from every tribe in Nigeria had the courage to sign up and fight so that bloody ingrates like you can seat in comfort typing rubbish on Nairaland to impugn his sacrifice.

Our soldiers in the war front are carrying rusty AK47 rifles like flipping guerrilla rebels from Somalia while those deployed to guard our politicians tote top of the range assault weapons. A sorry case of misplaced priorities.

Those of them that protest this sad situation are declared mutinous and sentenced to death.

Our soldiers have been reduced to kamikaze troops fighting and dying in an unwinnable war against a foe that continues to grow in confidence and strength just because it serves some politician's sinister agenda to remain in power by all means.

Nigeria is sitting on several kegs of gun powder and playing with matches.

RIP to the dead...those of us waiting to die salute you.

This is a hilarious thread...

Is that all you were able to deduce from my post?

Seriously?

SMH!

PapiWata:
The year 2019 will mark the conclusion of President Jonathan's tour of duty, and this will be affirmed by his assured victory in the upcoming elections.

With regards to your armchair expert opinion about the effectiveness of Nigerian military action and counter terrorist operations in the vicinity of the battle front, perhaps you could address you concerns in writing to the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Nigerian Armed Forces, so that they can act on your recommendations, or ignore you outright, as facts on the ground dictate.

Contrary to your opinion, 2015 marks the end of our President's tour of duty. If he wins the elections next year, it will be the beginning of another tour of duty.

I did not express any opinions about the effectiveness or otherwise of the military campaign in the North. My post was about our President who like Emperor Nero of Ancient Rome, has chosen to fiddle while Nigeria burns.

If I do have complaints about the effectiveness of the war against terrorism, I am within my rights to address my concerns to the President as he is the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces and the buck stops at his table.

I do not know what "facts on the ground" you are alluding to. The only fact on the ground in my opinion is that thousands of Nigerians, including the innocent students who may have died in the Yobe bomb attack this morning, have lost their lives to the crises in the North in spite of the "best" efforts of this government.

ibedun:
Unruly unstructured village people!

Presidency of Nigeria or Biafra? I think Biafra.

Take it easy man!

Don't toe this path of hate towards an entire ethnic group just because of a few politicians

The truth is that politicians are a breed apart from the rest of us....only a few of them have our genuine interests at heart.

Do not buy into the politician's agenda to hate one another so we can be divided and they will continue to have their way.

denko:
HOW WOULD SOMEONE WILL BE BURNING DOWN HIS/HER REGION IN THE NAME OF POLITICS

Makes no sense right?

Which is why you need to take another look and begin to ask yourself more fundamental questions like:

Who stands to benefit from the crises in the North in the long run?

PapiWata:
Cram Jones you disappoint me. You really have, today, and I'm afraid you'll need to sit in the corner until I decide what needs to be done next.

I counted a measly 25 derogatory adjectives that you could think up to denounce your elected president. That is well under par for a man of your caliber, and this is a matter of concern.

At the rate you are using up all your linguistic ammunition so far ahead of the presidential elections, you will practically need to invent a new language with which to express your spiraling despair and despondency when President Jonathan receives his earth-shaking landslide mandate to serve as Nigeria's president until the good year 2019.

Oh just 2019?

One would think he was bidding to rule for a lifetime with the way he is going about it.

While our President is rabidly chasing a new term in office, Nigeria burns under his watch. He seems to have forgotten that he still has about 6 months worth of his current mandate to deliver on. He seems to have forgotten that part of that mandate includes ensuring the protection of all Nigerians, internal and external...including his "enemies" from the North of Nigeria.

At this rate, I hope there will be a nation to rule over before 2019.

atlwireles:
Instead of this constant recrimination, let's applaud the efforts of the two GOVS. Pray the incoming ones do better. Remember, its not about these men at the end of day. Its about the SS people.

Thank you o!

Nice to hear one voice of wisdom amongst this maddening crowd of "My Benz is Bigger than Yours" crooners.

So let me see, 40 million Nigerians can now afford cars according to Professor Iweala's powerpoint slides. Another 49 million can't afford toilets.

Interesting statistics.

arsetalks:
Yes, she is right unfortunately the problem is that there are no good roads to ride the said cars on. Plus 40m? Where did she get the useless stats from. Same as the "we have reduced provety level by 50%" nonsensencial statement.

Figures are from her powerpoint slides. Okonjo Iweala is the world's only Professor of Voodoo Economics!

Myself2:
Provide proof that the council elections were held in October 2013.........................................[size=4pt]just kidding[/size]

I wonder how people like Femi Aribisala sleep at night after penning this kind of hate laced and biased write up.

I have read a number of his recent articles and notice that as far as he is concerned, the entire evil plaguing Nigeria, stems from Northern Nigeria, the APC and Bola Tinubu. According to him, the PDP is a party of Angels led by Archangel Goodluck Jonathan while the APC is made up of demons championed by the evil super demon called Bola Tinubu.

According to Aribisala, Tambuwal and others that crossed to APC have sold their souls to the devil while Mimiko, Peter Obi, Fani Kayode and the likes that crossed to the PDP found salvation.

Aribisala wants us to believe that Buhari's decision to identify with his people and his religion is a travesty while Goodluck Jonathan's penchant for absolving his people from any wrongdoing before any formal investigation is justified.

Femi Aribisala is a deranged and bigoted hypocrite.

I hope going to beer parlors every friday and been driven around in a relic while surrounded by stern faced security agents bearing concealed Tavors and Uzzis isn't all there is to this man's 2nd coming.

14km both ways is 28km daily. So assuming that Maku was talking about primary school where he spent 6 years, that would mean he walked approximately 50,000km over 6 years

This Maku can lie for Africa o

ratiken:
Provide proof of tenure expiration.

The Lagos Council elections held in October 2011....3 years ago!

The tenure of council chairmen is 3years...so go figure.

When the tenure of elected officials expire, they leave office and fresh elections are conducted.

Fashola did not SACK LGA and LCDA chairmen, their tenure expired.

I hope it is now clear to you.

I sometimes wonder why the constitution is silent on allocating some kind of formal role to Deputy state executives beyond being an appendage and waiting on the governor's favour.

For the amount these "Deputies" draw or expect to draw from the public coffers, they should be better engaged in delivering service to the people, beyond acting as "Governor's in waiting."

If indeed Mr Adesegun's office is starved of funds and perks like he claims, the Governor needs to redress the situation immediately.

But 30,000 naira on diesel daily That is a lot of diesel man

The PDP is between the rock and a hard place on this matter. It is an absolute catch 22 situation.

It will take a lot of political maneuvering to force Tambuwal out of that position and even for the almighty PDP, that is a very daunting task to accomplish between now and the end of this current political dispensation.

What is worse is that unlike how Obasanjo rendered Atiku redundant during their dispensation, the position of Speaker of the House of Reps cannot be so treated.

Short of killing the man, I think the PDP is going to have to eat the humble pie of defeat on this one.

karlmax2:
u see why you and ameachi supporters club are very daft u are quick to post photo shoped pictures of road in portharcourt. And environ why not post roads in other local government areas say akuku toru , abua odua, ahoada east and west, okirika, ndoni ,ogoni,bonny, degema and other local government area is rivers state all about elekahia, old gra, gra, rainbow,agip road . The fg projects list touched every local goveenment in rivers can you and you fellow slowpoke post a pictures of roads of say oyingbo lga ,opobo nkoro or any other local goverment area apart from port harcourt city lga

Bros the guy has tried now! At least he has posted 2 pictures to back up his claim. You self back up your own FG "projects" with pictures to shut the naysayers up!!! Even if they are "photoshopped" photos of the VIP Toilet and the Fence, we will manage it.


Bros to tell you the truth, your attempt to counter Amaechi's claim by starting this thread was dead on arrival. To be sincere, I find it hard to believe that the FG has no footprints in Rivers State in the area of development as claimed by Amaechi. But honestly, this your thread is doing the man no good. If this list is all that the FG has been able to offer Rivers People in the last 6 years of Jonathan's government, then he has grossly failed the people of that State.

Did I see "VIP Toilet" on that list

anonimi:
Can you please share with us what our SINators and representaTHIEVES did about the incident with their oversight powers?

Let us not forget that the House of Reps is overfilled with Arewa People's Congress, APC and the Speaker is even with them!

Oga you are someone whose opinions I respect even though we rarely see things from the same perspective. You strike me as someone who has a decent measure of intelligence and love for the progress of this nation.

But views like the one above premised on this whole APC vs PDP impasse do your reputation no good.

There are simply some issues that are clear cut and should not be viewed through lenses tinted by party affiliations.

There is ABSOLUTELY no reason for that minister to have remained in office after the recruitment debacle and the President should have forced him to resign if he failed to take the initiative.

If the "SINators and representaTHIEVES" as you called them fail to exercise their oversight, how about our President on whose table the buck stops

Incidentally, contrary to your post, I googled and found the link below which proves that the senate caucus of the "Arewa People's Congress" as you choose to call them, issued a statement calling for the resignation of the minister at the time.

Rather than the minister taking the opportunity to be on air to console and condole and even show remorse for the demise of the unfortunate citizens, he was grandstanding and talking about "fixing the mess he created" Who does such anywhere in the world?

anonimi:
The policy is very good no doubt.
However the relevant officers in government should be careful in reporting progress and impact to avoid giving figures that may be construed as non-factual if not supported by[b] concrete, verifiable data.[/b]

Exactly!!!

The hurry to milk every marginal development for political gain has always been the bane of laudable policies.

It is a good policy and I hope it is not allowed to die a natural death after the elections are won and lost in 2015.

What is the idea behind posting a story about an event that happened in 2005 as if it happened over the weekend

I dont think this statement is a recent one. I think this was a statement issued prior to the 2011 elections or so.

Asari's more recent position is that Jonathan must not only run for a 2nd term, but must be allowed to win it because it is his right to have 2 terms in office regardless of his poor performance in office during his first term.

abeg abeg abeg
go through my previous posts.

Even at that, some mosques like the one in my first post have neither crescent nor star, signifying the dome itself is enough a symbol.

Oh c'mon!!! Stop talking kak already!!!

You are still shamelessly holding onto your bigoted view after several forumites have tried to enlighten you.

You are just as guilty as the northerners you are accusing of having an Islamic agenda if after all these posts, you are still not convinced that your earlier position is a misguided one.

franklyn009:
The true about this election is the Muslims are desperate for a Muslim president and don't care who that may be, as long the person is a Muslim and will carry out what ever their agenda might be. It is more of a religion tussle.
I was in a naming ceremony of a Muslim friend of mine when d imam was called forth to pray for d baby. During his prayer, he was like pray that goodluck doesn't win next year election and that Allah would select a right and chosen candidate and put in power....dis was followed by a powerful 'amin'. And I was like why the hate and how does that relate to the naming.
Even my Muslim friends don't like hearing his name sef. There is this strong hate for him like he is a plague.

IMO, dis Muslim folks are deliberately been ignorant and sentimental considering GEJ that they don't see any good in him and they always have one reason or the other to keep hating him.


Now the question is that why that much hate on GEJ and why are anti-GEJs so desperate for buhari to win and can go to any extent to achieve that even though buhari haven't done anything to make me put my vote and trust in him............or is there really a secret agenda??

So an Imam at a naming ceremony prayed for the bolded to happen and you just jumped to the conclusion that ALL MUSLIMS are desperate for a muslim President?

Well, I don't plan to vote for Jonathan in the next elections...and I am Christian.

Secret agenda my big black arss!!!

I always suspected that there was something fishy about the whole Linda Ikeji/Google/Aydee drama.

It is now becoming obvious that it was a calculated ploy to bring this "Aydee" character to the limelight and then use him to gain political mileage.

Naija politics...never short of drama

Errrrr. ...So OP, your argument is: it is better to stay single and continue to fornicate than to get married and be guilty of adultery

For an article premised on the Christian vow of marriage, methinks your article is wrongly couched.

masterpower:
PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE SAME IDEALOGY TO ISLAMISE NIGERIA RIGHT? GOD WILL PUNISH ALL OF YOU AGENTS OF DARKNESS DESTROYING THE CHURCH OF GOD WITH THE NAME OF ALLAH!

You on the other hand apparently have an agenda to "CHRISTIANISE" Nigeria right?

With your post above, how are you any different from the people you so harshly castigate?

anonimi:
Absolute madness of CLUELESS people

Meanwhile the youths who are deprived of the LOCAL employment opportunities of such patronage of our vehicle assembly plants will also be celebrating such a CLUELESS move by the daft leaders

No wonder the state governors and LGA chairmen do not bother to provide us the BASICS of modern life such as =>

- TAP water.
- Education for ALL our children.
- good FEEDER roads.
- Adequately equipped & staffed Primary Health Clinics and General Hospitals
- Environmental sanitation & Waste disposal

All these, if done properly will generate further employment for our youths instead of this PROFLIGATE acquisition of WASTING assets

I totally agree with you.

TRUTHTELA:
Its very disgusting that a LOW LIFE FACELESS SCAMMER, and HACKER is claiming that Linda " STOLE " his pictures or whatever he's claiming, he went ahead with some other HATERS to blackmail the Linda Ikeji, claiming that she " COPY AND PASTE OR STOLE THEIR STORY?

What are his INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY? WHO DOES HE WRITE FOR ( NYTIMES? ) WHY DID HE REGISTER EVERYTHING lindaikeji.com &co? WHATS HIS INTEREST?

WOLE SOYINKA, CHINUA ACHEBE, ADICHE, GOOGLE, FACEBOOK, GE, ACADEMICIANS, MEDICAL CO. RESEARCH FIRMS, APLLE, SAMSUNG AND ALL OTHER INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANIZATIONS THAT HAVE INTELLECTUAL are the ones that are suppose to be talking about INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND COPYRIGHT, PLS, ALL THESE LOWLIFE ROGUES SHOULD STOP MISUSING THOSE WORDS.

LINDA, STOLE PICTURES AND STORIES, YET NO SINGLE EVIDENCE, WHAT PICTURES AND STORIES IS THE GUY TALKING ABOUT? Bokoharam pix or stories? I expected him to be talking about EXCLUSIVE PICTURES OF WHERE EDWARD SNOWDEN IS or WHO BLUE IVY's Mother is.

No lawsuit can be entertained or won against Linda Ikeji, because, anything u put online is for public consumption. She gives credit and quote her sources. The guy wanted MONEY ( thats what he meant by " CREDIT" ). Thousands of news organisations, repeat news from other sources and uses pictures. Google and Getty images didnt have a problem with Linda, theyre too BIG for such. But, one single guy just woke up and start BLACKMAILING her.

New York times, Chiamanda Adiche, Wole Soyinka, et al, will NEVER BOTHER about Linda, publishing their article or news on her blog, cos they are way BIGGER than her.

All the NOISE about Linda stole his " WORKS", which "work has he done? Is he a WRITER? Is the guy an ARTIST? Is he a MUSICIAN ? WHO KNOWS HIM? AND WHAT AWARD or NOMINATION HAS HE WON FROM HIS SO CALLED "WORKS' ? LET HIM SHOW HIMSELF/FACE LEGITIMATELY AGAINST LINDA IKEJI, then, the world and I will have RESPECT FOR HIM. Someone HIDING ON TWITTER TO RANT ABOUT A SUCCESSFUL LADY, is not going to make him successful. If his own blogging or hacking is rewarding, HE WILL NEVER HAVE TIME OR NOTICE LINDA IKEJI,BUT, NOW I KNOW HE'S A LOW LIFE.

LINDA's blog is down, then what? IN THIS SOCIAL MEDIA AGE AND TIME, LINDA WILL BOUNCE BACK. SHE HAS BUILT A BRAND. EVEN IF SHE BLOG FROM FACEBOOK AND TWITTER, HER FOLLOWERS AND SUCCESS WILL STILL BE THERE. ( IF IT'S NOT PANADOL, IT CANT BE LIKE PANADOL).

LINDA "STOLE" this and that, what I always see her posting on her blog is about celebrities tweet and FB, post, Kim, Beyonce, Flavor, D Banj, Genevive, Omotala, GEJ, PDP, APC, or one LOCAL CHAMPION or the the other, then the rest will be about NUDE MALES OR FEMALES, SO WHAT's their to STEAL? WHAT ELSE IS ON THAT BLOG ? PEOPLE SHOULD STOP HATING INNOCENT SOULS.

LEGALLY, SHE's good and NOTHING WILL HAPPEN, IT's just ENVY, BLACKMAIL AND RUMOR.

Just as the same people that DESTROYED NIGERIA ARE BUSY EXPECTING JONATHAN TO BUILD ELDORADO IN FOUR YEARS, INSULTING HIM HERE AND THERE. Your tribe is home to some of the biggest and most CORRUPT SOULS IN AFRICA, YET YOU'LL BE CALLING JONATHAN A CORRUPT LEADER.

HYPOCRISY, LIES, ENVY, DOUBLE STANDARD MUST STOP, IF YOU GUYS WANT TO MOVE THAT YOUR COUNTRY FORWARD

N:B I'm not a fan of Linda or GEJ, I open her blog laugh at comments and keep it moving ( i have never commented for one day). She's doing good and will SURELY COME BACK BETTER. Gej, is a failure, but, FAILURES SHOULD NOT BE CALLING HIM OUT EITHER

Plagiarism is a serious offense and it really does not matter whose intellectual property is been cited or copied. Once you do not get permission or credit the source, you are guilty of intellectual property theft. In some countries, you could get a long jail term for that.

There is no sentiment involved here and unlike you, I am actually a huge fan of her blog and her success story. But she is really lucky all she got was having her blog shut down. It could have been worse.

She can bounce back from this...but I hope she has learnt her lessons albeit the hard way.

Goodluck to her.
