PoliticsRe: Pictures From World Economic Forum In South-Africa by RickyRoss1(m): 11:36am On May 13, 2013
gbokukueba: This is for all of you that objects these entertainers being on the Nigerian delegation. For the record i am not a pro GEJ but i think the idea is noble. If you go round African countries today as i have been to quite a few you will be shocked and amazed at the popularity of PSquare and Aki/Pawpaw. Today in Africa we export more of entertainment than oil (just top of my head, no proof to back up). On a visit to kenya 2 years ago from the airport the moment i spoke they knew am Nigerian and they started speaking pidgin to me which they picked up from movies and music. I see a Nigeria Entertainment industry contributing massively to the wealth of Nigeria just like Hollywood is doing in America but first we must pass the 2015(dooms day predicted by CIA).

Peace out!
Well said bro, I wont add anything coz u just spoke my mind...
PoliticsRe: Jonathan Plans Shipyard To Boost Maritime Sector by RickyRoss1(m): 11:27am On May 13, 2013
Capnd143: Eko ilee i always respected you, bt these fews days you have proved to be a negatively bias and unpatriotic national mistake, a waster siemen, sperm, egg and ovum! As daft as you may be you dont realise that most gunboats and some corvette of nigerian navy are manufactured in Nigeria! That most infantry weapons of nigerian army are manufatured by nigerians, that the best electric cables are nigerian made, even japanese and chinese versions stands no chance, IVM cars are manufactured in nigeria, take a work to calabar free trade zone for more you negativist!
Dont mind that hypocrite. He knows about Cutix cables and wires and all that, not that he doesnt know, but he will never say anything good about Nigeria. If it were any governor in the south west you would see him dancing azonto and calling other governors names. Truth is, GEJ is fixing most of the infrastructure which OBJ refused to fix. Aviation is being fixed, most of our highways are being fixed. Only a hypocrite would call Shipyard a misplaced priority. What about Eko Atlantic that is going to be for the rich only? Why didn't they tell Fashola to at least build good roads all over Lagos before building a mega city for corrupt politicians. Just check out any of those Eko Atlantic threads and see these hypocrites in action.

These are the same clowns that said no other governor is performing in Nigeria apart from south west governors. But since Amaeshi started having problems with GEJ these hypocrites have suddenly jumped ship and Amaechi has automatically become the second best governor in Nigeria after Fashola.

eko ilee: Reminds me of another moronic and senseless proclamation before 2011 elections.




Jonathan pledges to construct airports in 36 states



Though a very senseless, unrealistic and out of touch statement, but where are the 36 airports? Inside his ashole rock bedroom I guess..
Hypocrite, The man you call retarded is doing wonders in the aviation sector. So far 6 Airports are fixed and more are underway. OBJ RULED NIGERIA DURING RECORD OIL PRICES, HOW MANY AIRPORTS DID HE BUILD FOR THE 8 YEARS HE SPENT AS PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA? THE ANSWER IS NONE... BESIDES, OBJ STOLE 18 BILLION DOLLARS FROM NEPA WITHOUT GENERATING A SINGLE KILOWAT.

As long as you lots are bend on giving Nigeria bad name on daily basis, so shall you lots continue to cry till the day you will die.
PoliticsRe: Jonathan Plans Shipyard To Boost Maritime Sector by RickyRoss1(m): 4:17am On May 13, 2013
I honestly cannot understand these hypocrites. If Fashola makes this same announcement you would see these loosers shouting hosana all over the place. I remember few weeks ago Fashole made a claim that he is going to start manufacturing cars ala buses and these same demented fools were shouting all over the place even as the so called bus plant is still in the planning stage and may never come to fruition.

This is why people do not progress. This is why some people keep complaining that Nigeria is not good place. Nigeria is a blessed country, but as long as you are not happy to hear any positive news about Nigeria you will toil all the days of your life with nothing to show for it. I

Anyone who says this is a misplaced priority is a half baked illiterate. If shipyard is misplaced priority, then what do you call the Eko Atlantic City project?

To confirm that these clowns are confused, just bookmark this page and anytime this project is complete you would see these same half backed illiterates claiming it was OBJ that started it. Hypocrisy at its best.

killuminati: so you mean you will vote odechukwu once again for president?? Chei, I pity your generations!
Hypocrite you should pity you and your own generations, that want a 90 year old terrorist to rule you. Why not go wake Pa Awolowo and Azikiwe to come and rule you since there are no more young intelligent and honest people in Nigeria apart from the old, overused, confused and frustrated serial looser.

FYI, My generation is sorted no matter who rules Nigeria. I am not like the 90% of you that expect a president to give you jobs and share oil money for you.

Hypocrite, the person you call Odechukwu has outperformed your brother who ruled Nigeria during record oil prices and stole over 18 Billion Dollars for NEPA without generating a single kilowat. I just left Nigeria last 2 months ago, the Onitsha Owerri road that used to be a death trap has been fixed to standard highway. The Ore road has been fixed. I used MMIA and appreciate the good work the Odechukwu is doing in the aviation sector.

GEJ is performing while you frustrated serial losers are tweeting and trash talking. ONCE A LOOSER, ALWAYS A LOOSER

ckkris: Does it now mean Igbos will vote for Buhari or Tinubu against Jonathan? Impossible!
We will repeat what we did in the last general elections.
Vote APGA for governorship level and then PDP at the presidential levels.
Personally I do not care much about party, I would vote Rochas no matter what party he joins. I look at the individual and access if he is the kind of candidate I want. Party doesn't mean much to me. Even if someone like Fashola or Sullivan Chime should decamp to other parties I would still vote for them bc they are performers.

Christianity EtcRe: TB Joshua Provides Alternative For Ghanians by RickyRoss1(op): 4:33pm On May 11, 2013
For the records, I did not write this article, I saw it on a Ghanaian forum and posted it here because I disliked the way Ghanians were insulting Nigerians and TB Joshua on that forum.

I do not worship at TB Joshua church but I believe that TB Joshua is not fake. I say what I know. I don't believe in hearsays. I know so many people who got healing at TB Joshua church. One of my village girl was healed of breast Cancer. One Warri guy I know in Ghana was told by Ghanaian doctors that his son would die within 30 days if they don't fly him to UK for surgery, the 4 year old boy had brain tumor. The father is my friend and he tried so hard to raise up to 30,000 Dollars for the surgery without success, someone told him to take the son to TB Joshua church and the wise-men healed the boy. This happened about 4 years ago and the boy is very healthy. There are just too many instances. Believe me I used to think all those things they show on Emmanuel TB was staged and fake, but I know people that were about to die but got their healing there. What I don't know is the source of TB Joshua power. And it is only God who can judge all of us. How can I say he is using juju or witchcraft when I don't know what my own church pastor is using? Only God knows who is fake and who is real.

Most people who accuse TB are either ignorant or jealous. In Black Africa if you are successful people will be jealous and they will gossip till infinity. If it is true that TB Joshua is using juju then that juju is very good juju. This juju that is healing people of incurable diseases, the same juju is giving thousands of people scholarships, same juju is feeding thousands of people around the world etc. Abeg that kind juju is good.

Music/RadioRe: Are Ladies Respected In Nigerian Music Videos? by RickyRoss1(m): 11:47am On May 11, 2013
alosiby92: Although the modern music videos by Nigerian artistes have improved in quality, quantity has worsened in terms of the ladies in the music videos.
In my opinion, they are not respected AT ALL. All I see when I watch these videos is sex and sex appeal being sold.
It disturbs me in that as a female, I feel like I am being objectified and that these girls are treated like crap and are seen as nonentities.
To all the music artistes, when will we see a clean music video where we can enjoy the song without thinking of the girl vigorously vibrating her nyash in the video?
It makes me mad to think that even when the song has nothing to do with a girl, one girl must feature half clothed in the video.
These videos are spoiling market for all the decent girls out there.
I may be wrong. Perharps there is another reason why there is so much disrespect in Nigerian music videos.
What is your opinion?
Bro change is the only thing that is constant in life. The world has changed. Sexxx sells. Nigerian musicians are copying from the west. I can assure you we still dey learn. Watch American rap/hiphop, the ladies clap with their arssses and the rapper calls them hoez and bitchess.

IMO people like Guci maine, Ludacris, Lil Wayne, Meek Meel and over 80% of American rappers should be jailed for abusing women, but no this is what the world wants to see. Any music video that doesn't have explicit contents wont sell these days. Maybe you need to to go Francophone countries and appreciate that our girls are even kinda reserved.

Strike does not mean he's not performing but it means he has not lived up to the workers expectations. Mind you much of the reasons for the strike are backlogs owed for years before Rochas administration.

Bro pls pay no attention to these clowns. Apart from Mbakwe, no other state governor in Imo comes close to Rochas and he is only there for 2 years now.

Rochas is no saint, but he is far better than Ohakim the blooody criminal. Most of the chaos in Imo is being sponsored by PDP agents. I am from Ikeduru and no state government has ever built roads in my LGA apart from Mbakwe, today the story is different.

For the records, I dont know when strike action is used to measure someones performance. In Ghana, for over 1 month now the entire Ghanaian doctors are on strike and nobody has called the president a bad leader. Workers do go to strike even in advanced nations. Can these clowns mention just one state in Nigeria that is immune to strike?

Guy don't let me disgrace you. You said you have roads? Where are the roads in Ghana? I just left Ghana less than 2 months ago, i even passed through that Dome road which your president started patching during the elections but is being abandoned again. Is that road not a death trap?

You said Ghana traffic did what? Are you not ashamed in Ghana a journey of 30 minutes takes several hours bc of bad traffic?

For a Ghanian to even talk of health is laughable. Ghana health sector is a huge joke. Ghana health sector is ranked second worst in Africa (http://elections.peacefmonline.com/politics/201110/72817.php?storyid=100&) .

I hope to never hear a person say that comment again. I have never heard a Ghanaian say Accra has a bigger economy than Liberia and Sierra Leone combined even though its true because Ghanaians are actually smart and know a lot of resources have been pushed to Accra!!
Guy why you nor dey shame, abi you want make I disgrace you? I see the way you are ranting and even calling the other guy illiterate simply because he does not agree with your views? It is mostly half backed illiterates that resort to name calling for no reason.

Now back to topic, presently Black Americans are rated as the 18th largest economy in the world. By the year 2015, African-Americans will be spending $1.1 trillion a year on products and services. This consumer spending would rank “African-American Consumers” as the 16th largest country in the world. Collectively this consumer spending exceeds the gross domestic production of Egypt, Turkey, Poland, Australia, Taiwan and more than 150 other nations of the world' FACT... http://www.blackeconomicdevelopment.com/nielsen-african-american-consumers-rank-as-worlds-16th-largest-country/


Ghana needs to catch up with Ivory Coast first. You clearly stated all the natural resources of Ghana, Ivory Coast does not have any natural resources, cocoa is their major export yet Ivory Coast is at least 2 times more developed than Ghana. Ivory Coast has 2 standard well developed cities but Ghana does not even have one. Accra is all that Ghana has got yet it is a huge slum with no single world class infrastructure. I have met many Ghanians in Abidjan and they know this to be true.

So in West Africa, Ghana needs to catch up with Senegal and Ivory Coast that has the same population sizes with it.

smoothcrim2014: I just humiliated you and now you are insulting.

Mexico, and Russia are top economies? Brazil is a top economy?

Are you joking! I just humiliated you and showed your analysis is flawed. Nigeria has 7 times the population of Ghana and is an OPEC oil producing country. Lagos economy is a reflection of post colonial pouring of all resources into Lagos. It cannot and should not be compared to Ghana in anyway. It is a result of a skewed development paradigm which has left much of Northern Nigeria an uninhabitable area of massive poverty.


Ghana is not only better than Lagos but all of Nigera...

[b]Today Ghana is the fourth most stable and most prosperous nation in Africa as of 2012, a recognized regional power, regional hegemony, an approaching middle power, and an emerging economy.] It leads African nations in human development, technology, health care, competitiveness, income per capita, globalization, press freedom, state of peace, economic freedom, low perception of corruption, and the world in real GDP growth. It also ranks highly in Africa on the sustainability of the state, and number one in Africa on democratic development.

Ghana is the first to second largest producer of cocoa in the world, and the eighth largest producer of gold and gold bars in the world. Ghana is also a crude oil and natural gas producer; producing 300 million barrels of crude oil and 200 million cubic feet of natural gas per day as of May 2013. Ghana is a founding member of the Non-Aligned Movement, an observer of the Organization of American States, and a current participator of the United Nations.[/b]

What does Lagos produce to merit it being compared to a country like this? NOTHING. Lagos is a result of historically sucking wealth from other regions, especially oil producing areas, to build Lagos up!

How dare you compare Lagos to a state like GLORIOUS Ghana. Only an illiterate would do that. Learn to think like a learned man son. wink
Bro this is Nigerian matter so take your hatred and ignorance elsewhere. If the news is too painful for you go hug a transformer. Whether the news is good or not is not your business. If we concentrate all the wealth of Nigeria in Lagos then how does that concern you? What about Abuja, Kano, Enugu etc? Have you ever been to Nigeria before? Why do you gloat anytime you hear positive news coming from Nigeria? If you think too much federal money is being poured into Lagos what are you going to say when you enter Abuja?

As you rightly stated, Ghana is the second largest producer of cocoa in the world, and the eighth largest producer of gold and gold bars in the world. Ghana is also a crude oil and natural gas producer; producing 300 million barrels of crude oil and 200 million cubic feet of natural gas per day as of May 2013. What has Ghana done with all those massive wealth? NOTHING. With all those wealth Ghana CANNOT build even a highway, the few highways they have in Ghana were built by AMERICA via Millennium Challenge Account. With all the massive wealth Ghana still have thousands of schools under trees till date. I have been to all gold producing regions of Ghana and discovered they are abandoned like the Niger Delta people. There are no roads there to start with, not to talk of water or anything else. But these guys will come online and talk as if their house is in order.

BROS YOU SAID GHANA leads African nations in human development, technology, health care, competitiveness, income per capita, globalization, press freedom, state of peace, economic freedom, low perception of corruption, and the world in real GDP growth. It also ranks highly in Africa on the sustainability of the state, and number one in Africa on democratic development. Hahaha are you kidding me?

HEALTHCARE: IS this a joke or what? Ghana does not have any health sector to start with. Ghana's health sector is ranked 2nd most corrupt in Africa:

CORRUPTION: You said Ghana has low perception of corruption? Are you kidding me? Ghana is the second most corrupt country in west Africa. Ghana is now the scam capital of the world. Just few months ago your own IG of police collaborated with ghana gold scammers to steal 8 million dollars from some Turkish mugu, the IG was paid 1 million USD to allow scammers load FAKE GOLD into the private jet the mugu came to carry the purported gold.
Last year your own Kweku Adoboli was arrested for 1 billion dollar fraud at UBS.
Just last week Three Ghanaians were arrested in US for credit card scam (http://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/NewsArchive/artikel.php?ID=272391&comment=0#com)
You said you are not corrupt but where is Ghana Airways? Was it not corruption that killed it? It is the same corruption that is crippling Tema Oil Refinery which is always shut down for maintenance like Nigerian refineries and this TOR is always producing below 40% all bc of corruption.
If you say you are not corrupt oya type SAKAWA for Google search and tell me the result? Bros, abeg no wash your dirty linen in public. I married from Ghana and know Ghana inside out.

SECURITY: Ghana has thousands of refugees in Togo so you are not safe. Northern region of Ghana is like a war zone and god forsaken place, I have been Tamale so I know.
In Ghana I know at least 5 taxi drivers that do not operate in the night bc of fear of armed robbers snatching their cars from them. Ofcourse I know 2 Ghana taxi that lost their cars to armed robbers. There are many parts of Accra taxi drivers dont dare penetrate after 8pm. In Ghana anyone with power-bike is a suspect bc that is what ghana robbers use to rob. I was in Ghana when the police were arresting any young boy they see on power bike.

TECHNOLOGICALLY: Ghana cannot match Nigeria in technology. In Africa Nigeria is leading in space science/technology. Our scientists have launched satellites etc. Innoson motors is made in Nigeria and is already plying the roads of Accra daily. GO TO CROSS COUNTRY TRANSPORT IN ACCRA, JUST BEFORE BUSY INTERNET AFTER KWAME NKRUMAH CIRCLE. Nigerian soldiers manufacture so many of their arms. Our Navy just launched one of the vessels they manufactured.

MANUFACTURED GOODS: Enter any drug store in Ghana most of their prescription drugs carry NAFDAC NUMBERS. Enter any shop/supermarket in Ghana you will see lots of made in Nigeria products like gala, indomie, dangote pasta, biscuit, cement, la casera, bread, news papers, Zinox desktops/laptops. Most ATM Cards in Ghana carry INTERSWITCH Logo and this is a Nigerian company. As a Nigerian, how many made in Ghana products do you see in Nigeria apart from alomo bitters?

POLITICALLY: This is where Ghana has done better than Nigeria. But the last election in Ghana is marred in mass rigging and corruption. THE OPPOSITION PARTY DID NOT ACCEPT THE ELECTION RESULT TILL DATE, THEY REFUSED TO ACCEPT DEFEAT AND THEY ARE CURRENTLY CHALLENGING THE PRESIDENT IN COURT. Most people believe the opposition won the last election and they claim Obasanjo helped the sitting president to ring/win. This last election has seriously dented Ghana's image globally. The opposition has brought thousands of evidence of mass rigging.
Christianity EtcTB Joshua, The Man Who Tricked God? by RickyRoss1(op): 3:35pm On May 09, 2013
Sometimes I wonder if Jesus was walking the land of Jerusalem today if he would be on TV. Would CNN, Al-Jazeera, BBC and the other popular networks broadcast his ministry and miracles live? Would he be like Rev. Benny Hinn, donning a $50,000 Rolex watch or like Prophet T. B. Joshua, with a flashy Nollywood smile and a cool $20 million in the bank? Would the savior of mankind, live in a sprawling 15-bedroom mansion? Would Jesus ride to miracle healing crusades in his own private Jet with all the pomp and showmanship?

I have no doubt millions of eyes would be glued to TV sets as he performed the miracle of feeding 5,000 hungry mouths with only five loaves of bread. Would he prophesy the results of soccer matches and the death of presidents? What would he say about modern prophets like Jesus One Touch? Would he silently ignore them or lash out with the flash of a whip and the sharpness of rebuke?

All humans want to know the unknown, or even the unknowable. We are wired by God to want to know what tomorrow holds. It is probably why we are so fascinated by those who claim to know the future or who claim to possess the gift of prophecy. At the birth of 2013, one of Africa’s popular ‘men of God’, the Nigerian Prophet T. B. Joshua issued his prophecy for the New Year, as usual. My childhood friend, Fiifi, who follows and hangs on to every word the Yoruba miracle worker says, told me about the prophecies. I decided to check them out. Fiifi’s passion was too strong to ignore.

T. B. Joshua prophesied that “many great, famous, rich men and politicians will become helpless and in need of help in matters of sickness, disease, finances and death”. I looked at Fiifi in amazement, as to why he believed this was a prophecy. This is not a prophecy but a generalized statement. There are thousands of famous and great men in the world, so naturally some would get into trouble. Every week some famous person dies or gets into trouble around the world. In the USA alone, for instance, some star or famous person gets into trouble almost every day. If I say there is going to be a storm in the USA that is going to cause destruction this year, it is not a prophecy. It is a simple geographical fact.

Psychics and con artists use these tricks all the time. They tell you there is a man in your family named Mensah trying to harm you spiritually. Of course, they know almost everybody in Ghana has a Mensah in their family or knows one who is close. Do people believe these fake prophets because they desperately want a miracle in their life so badly that a fake miracle is better than no miracle? Well, a fake miracle is no miracle. A fake miracle is like the ostrich solution to problems, it is the alcoholic’s solution to problems. Once you are drunk, the problem disappears. However, the problem reappears when the drunken stupor fades off. This is not a solution, it is denial and lying to oneself.

T. B. Joshua’s other prophecy tickled me blue. He said, “Those in the foodstuff business will have a field day this year. Farming and agriculture will be the order of the day and will help greatly to be the source of solution this year. People engaged in it will be greatly blessed,” Why would anyone consider this a prophecy? Is this over-baked, redundant, recycled financial advice or what? Last year a cargo plane crashed in Accra, the Melcolm building collapsed but Joshua did not see it to warn us. What is the purpose of these ‘prophesies’ if it serves no purpose and helps nobody? Where is the next Tsunami going to be? That’s what we want to know, so we can be ready.

Can Temitope Joshua prophesy the Boston bombing next time before it happens, rather than ‘predicting’ it after it has happened? If he had prophesied the Boston Marathon bombing, his name would be on every major network in the world. Oprah, CNN, NBC,New York Times and all the big networks would be at his door begging for an interview. He did not prophesy the Boston bombing. That is the fact that the whole world knows except the gullible followers of Joshua in Ghana and Nigeria.

People like TB Joshua and their fake miracles thrive in non-questioning, semi-literate societies, where superstition is rife even among the educated. Why would the great omnipotent Jehovah reveal such useless prophecies? These prophecies are definitely not from God. They are from the demented mind of one who seeks fame and money and know how to manipulate a society of gullible zombies.

Joshua did not prophesy the Melcolm building collapsing which would have saved many lives. Neither did he prophesy the crashing of a cargo plane into a bus at Kotoka Airport. When Accra Sports stadium collapsed, he did not see it. Even when President Mills was stricken with cancer and on the verge of death, he did not see it. When a tsunami devastated Japan, Joshua did not see it. God does not show Joshua revelations that would save lives. God only reveals soccer scores, election results and mushed-up general statements that help no one. Attributing these cheap ‘revelations’ to God is blasphemy. Yahweh, the creator of the universe, with billions of stars and galaxies, cannot do better than giving useless financial advice?

Joseph in the Bible interpreted dreams that averted a famine and saved the lives of millions of people. Moses saved many Israelites from the plagues that devastated Pharoah, because his predictions came true and were time specific.

How would such prophesies be received in educated countries like Germany, Canada or Japan? Nobody in any developed, educated world of critically thinking people would see Balogun Joshua’s statement as prophecies. However, among many Africans, these are words from the Almighty Yahweh himself. Joshua is sleek, shrewd and a good stage magician, who can fool millions of gullible, desperate Africans. He has amassed wealth to the tune of $20 million. Needless, to say, he has tricked his way into great wealth. Man can be fooled, but the most sophisticated sakawa, 419 tactics cannot trick God. Just like Obinim, Jesus One Touch, Bishop Eddie Long and all the many false prophets had come crashing down, time would show that Bishop Temitope Balogun Joshua cannot trick God.

Christianity EtcTB Joshua Provides Alternative For Ghanians by RickyRoss1(op): 2:17pm On May 09, 2013
- Doctors Can Go to Bed

If our doctors can't heed to the plea of Ghanaians, God do. The strike embarked on by Ghanaian doctors which have lasted for over a month so far has being seen to never end soon. This has rendered the less privileged in society to be the worst victims of this uncalled for strike.

If God can hear our pleas, then it is this what made Nigeria's famous prophet and philanthropist TB Joshua, to declare during the launch of his new brand of the miraculous Anointing Water and stickers to be distributed for free. He also made pledges to have it given to hospitals all over the world including Ghana free of charge to last for the next three weeks. This anointing water without doubt has worked even more than doctors. The testimonies and joy this anointing water has brought to people both rich and poor, weak and strong are just multiplying each and every day. If Ghanaian hospital administrators can heed to this opportunity to order for this water i think will go a long way to save more lives just as they are perishing. I was very sad when i was at Sowutoum going home, someone in a car was struggling with his life, at the point of death that a car has to be chattered to take him to the hospital, to me if no doctor attends to the patient quickly then by now i don't know where he might be. Guess if he was being taken to a government hospital which doctor is going to attend to him even as an emergency case.

Also explained by TB Joshua the reason of this kind gesture was to make it available to both the poor and rich in society. Closing that gap between them in having access to the anointing water. I am hoping to see our hospitals get delivery of these anointing water.

Nigeria is a joke.
No Nigeria is not a joke, rather it is you that is a joke.
Dangote cannot lie about something like this. So take your stupidity elsewhere. No matter how hard you try, buhari can NEVER rule Nigeria again. I know its so painful for goats, but deal with it

I laugh at people that take sowore serious.
What is he doing to make Nigeria a better place?
All Sowore does it publish negative news about Nigeria day in, day out.
By the way, he is living in comfort in America, why not come back home and make the deference you are clamoring for?
Before I forget, sowore is not alone. Sowore is being sponsored by the same corrupt politicians he is condemning. Sowore is as corrupt as the politicians he accuse daily.

There is no city in Ghana to start with. Accra is a slum with no world class facility.

While Dangote is busy thinking deep and investing massively, foolz are lazing about. Tomorrow they will claim he is devil, monopolistic etc. At the rate at which this guy is investing, he may become the richest man in the world someday.

From experience, it is mostly lazy and unsuccessful people that will have time to gossip about others. Go to our numerous villages, the poor rats are the ones that will call you kidnapper, 419 or drug dealer once they see you in a flashy car, without even knowing what you do and how long you have been working very hard. For their mind, you can never be successful unless you carry drugs or do illegal business. Ndi Ara...

Same thing Ghanaians do. They lazy about, or at most they sell recharge cards since they cannot think big. When they see any Nigerian driving flashy cars they will automatically label you 419 or drug dealer without even knowing who you are, just because you are a Nigerian.

PoliticsRe: Antics Of Tinubu's APC E-warriors Exposed!!! by RickyRoss1(m):
Sincere 9gerian: The following are well recognised antics of Tinubu's APC E-warriors:

1 Nlanders who express contrary opinions are labelled as "paid" posters doing the bidding of their "paymaster"

2 Tinubu's APC e-warriors are notorious for derailing threads with all manner of unrelated issues

3 Shout corruption, corruption as many times as possible. It seems the more you shout corruption, the higher ones profile rises in the camp of APC e-warriors

4 APC e-warriors are notorious for unleashing abuses, insults and curses on whoever does not fall in line

5 Name calling: APC e-warriors have derogatory names for everyone on the other side- from the president down to fellow Nlanders

6 Death threats: some APC e-warriors do not hesistate to threaten to kill anyone, including Nlanders who disagree with them

7 Almajiri "likes": when APC e-warriors feel they've lost out in a debate, they mobilize almajiri "likes" for ridiculous posts. It is not unusual to see posts like "bastard", "40 lapdog" and other ridiculous posts gathering as much as 50 or more almajiri "likes"

8 Pollute threads they dont like with irrelevant pictures

9 Shout clueless, clueless as many times as possible. In the APC camp, the more one shouts clueless, the more your profile rises

10 Label all IDs expressing contrary opinions as coming from the same person. APC e-warriors will tell you that Beaf=Sincere 9gerian=or any other ID depending on which side of the bed they woke up from

Note: I used the term Tinubu's APC because there are other political party with the acronym APC
Nwannem, you are so on point.
I just left Nigeria last 2 months. I traveled from Port Harcourt to Owerri and Owerri to Lagos by road. Even though they shout at high heavens and call GEJ clueless, but the clueless GEJ has been able to fix many of our roads. That Benin-Ore road is a good example. Ask those in Abuja to tell you about the Kubwa Express way. What about the Owerri Onitsha Road? These are all standard roads. There are many but these are the ones I used while in Nigeria. Not like the 90% of Nairalanders that base their comments from what they read online.

I don't just believe on internet rantings. I saw the remodeling jobs at the airports in Port Harcourt, Owerri and MMAI. The clueless GEJ has been able to do so many great things for Nigeria without making noise and yet these e-warriors and foot soldiers keep calling GEJ name. Oh no, dont worry if they call me laptop squad member. Infact I am laptop number 10, and GEJ paid me 20 billion Naira to make this post.
PoliticsRe: Ifeanyi Uba Gaining Massive Support In Anambra State by RickyRoss1(m): 11:47pm On May 08, 2013
I am not from Anambra but I wish Anambra people the best of luck.
I do not think Ifeanyi Uba has good intentions for the people of Anambra. To me he is a criminal and must not be allowed to win. He is gaining popularity now because he is the candidate that is spending the most money at the moment. People should chop his money and still vote for the best candidate.

I respect Ngige and Soludo. Infact, it is someone in the mold of Soludo that can unleash the true potentials of Anambra.
