Let's stop deceiving ourselves.
Why can't we have Fashola contest for presidency? Why can't APC field a "performer" rather than a "pretender"?
If Buhari is genuine, then he should retire to the background just like other elderstatesmen; Gowon, Obasanjo, et al. APC should not impose Buhari on the people.

PoliticsEbola: Mexico And Belize Reject US Cruise Ship by saintneo(op): 2:28pm On Oct 19, 2014
Ebola cruise ship ‘in utter panic’ as Mexico
and Belize refuse to let it dock.

The Carnival Magic cruise ship with
Texas healthcare worker exposed to Ebola
aboard arrived back in the US on Sunday
morning.

Sunday 19 October 2014
Passengers aboard the cruise ship at the
centre of an Ebola scare were in a panic
after being refused to dock at either Mexico
or Belize, with one claiming “it’s like a
floating petri dish.”
A Texas healthcare worker who had
handled a blood sample of Thomas Duncan,
the Liberian man who died from Ebola in
the US earlier this month, has been
quarantined in her room aboard the
Carnival Magic cruise ship.
The unnamed woman, who is a lab
supervisor at Texas Health Presbyterian, is
deemed by the CDC to be “low risk” and has
yet to exhibit symptoms.
She is also approaching the end of her 21-
day maximum incubation window after
which it can be confirmed that she did not
contract Ebola.
Since it left Galveston, Texas on October 12,
the cruise has twice attempted to dock to
enable the quarantined woman to fly back
to the US for observation.
First Belize refused to let the ship dock, its
Prime Minister Dean Barrow saying “there
are still a lot of unanswered question as to
how this thing gets transmitted.”
Then Mexico turned away the Carnival
Magic thereby forcing it to maintain the on-
ship quarantine as it returned to the US. It
arrived at Galveston, Texas at around 6am
Sunday morning.
The news of the potential Ebola infection,
and the subsequent rejected requests to
dock, prompted a panic aboard the cruise,
with one passenger likening the ship to a
“floating petri dish.”
Jon Malone is quoted by The Telegraph as
saying: "People are scared. I've seen people
crying. You're using the same buffet line as
someone else, the same waiters, the folks
that clean the state rooms.
"It's really difficult to control any type of
virus that's on a cruise ship. It's like a
floating petri dish. It spreads very rapidly.
They're cleaning elevators. I've seen people
with pink liquid cleaning the bar area and
the handrails."
Another passenger, who called himself
Michael, told CNN: "Obviously our concern
is where is this person is on the ship and
what kind of set up do they have to care for
them? I can't imagine it's a completely
quarantined area. They have not told us at
all where the person is.
"My wife has medication for a kidney
transplant, she's susceptible to getting
something a little easier than the rest of us,
and we don't know where this person has
been on the ship."
Eric Lupher, a reporter for ABC7 in Denver,
Colorado, is aboard the ship. He said: "We
were about five miles off the shore of Belize
just sitting in the boat in the ocean, not
knowing what was going on. The boat
wasn't moving. It was like that for several
hours. Then we started moving in the
middle of the night.
"More than 12 hours later we were told this
person was on the ship. The captain came
on the loudspeaker and told us what was
going on. He never said the word Ebola, but
everyone knew. On the elevators, people
were talking about it. And a lot of people
were upset about it."
He added: "There is a lot of concern over
what's going to happen when we get back to
Galveston. It's our understanding we're just
going to get off the boat and go home - but
is that really going to happen?"
Lupher has been posting on Twitter about
the situation on the Carnival Magic. On
Saturday evening, he tweeted a picture of a
helicopter that picked up a blood sample of
the quarantined passenger, a development
that has been confirmed by US official.

Isn't it obvious anyone who reads your post will subliminally vote GEJ come 2015.

Meanwhile, most of your points will be checked if the new government keeps the Amnesty programme going.

Amnesty programme was accepted because there was a potential for Goodluck to be the topgun.

EducationRe: The Use Of 'i Was Like Ok' By Nigerian Students by saintneo(m): 8:26pm On Oct 15, 2014
Keenysbojan:
I have been wondering why Nigerian students always use the word 'i was like ok' in every of their saying... I found it difficult to believe that 'i was like ok' is a correct short sentence, in English...

because I have sat down and think about this all over and over and over,and through research I found that there is no short sentence in English, like 'i was like ok'.. but some Nigerians are so terrible when it comes to the aspects of speaking or writing standard English...

A student of unilorin came to meet my big bro at home,and he said I have been trying your number since I left Lagos and I WAS LIKE OK LET ME CALL YOUR YOUNGER BROTHER TO CONFIRM..

immediately,I felt the 'spirit of bad English' in what he said above... since then I have been searching,I have been asking those who are highly educated and those who study English in universities.. if the use of I WAS LIKE OK is good to speak..

to nairelanders do any of you have anything to say about this topic... share your own points of view and let some 'BAD English speaker(s)' learn from you.. thanks

Yours Faithfully
k e e n y s b o j a n
"I was like ok" is correct in a descriptive sentence. "I was like........", "ok........"description of the action carried out.

BTW this is not a Nigerian invention, I think it is American. The first time I heard was in the Avatar: The Last Airbender series, usually used by Sokka the non-bender from the southerrn water tribe.

He meant to "cross river" metaphorically... in other words to acculturate. This thread further reinforces the magnitude of Igbo presence in North Central and South South. Igbo people and land have been dissected, separated, the corollary is what we have today...Igbos scattered everywhere NATIVELY in Delta, Rivers, Cross rivers, Akwa Ibom, Benue, Kogi, e.t.c. I'm Ibibio, guess what? My father speaks fluent Igbo even though he never stepped foot in the SE when he learned it. All he said was it was spoken pre-civil war in the old Cross River state; which includes today's Akwa Ibom. My point is Igalas and Igbos are bothers, same with ibibios and many other tribes in SS, all have Igbo ancestry. Explain why you can hardly differentiate between Igbos, most SS and some North Central(Benue and Kogi) by physical appearance alone. You can easily mistake Gov. AKpabio, Gov. Imoke, Sen. David Mark, Gov. Suswan, Gov. Ameachi, Pres. Jonathan, Peter Odili as Igbos by their physical traits, but can never mistake them for Yoruba or Hausa as their physical traits differ a lot by long margin. So most of us look alike...boils down to same parentage! Most Yoruba will see me and call me Omo Igbo, until I speak Ibibio till they get it I'm not Igbo.lol!

To the OP: One thing you must know is Igbo people are very accommodating of other tribes, I have lived among them, they scare nor fear no one. They are confident in themselves, their abilities and don't see other tribes as a threat. Be appreciative that some stations and channels allot some time for Igala broadcast when Igala only constitute less thn 5% of the population. That's a huge magnanimity on the Igbos I would say. I don't know of any Abuja local channels or Radio stations that speaks Gwarri or Nupe for the real natives of the land. They have all be acculturated as northerners.
If in any attempt Biafra comes, I advice you to prepare for the top gun position. Salute!
CultureRe: Igala Language In Anambra State. by saintneo(m): 4:50am On Oct 12, 2014
Igala is a minority group in Anambra, they should be accorded the greatest respect. All these tribalists wanting the Igalas to go to Kogi or get Igbonised are worse than Hitler.

If Igala language cannot be thought in school, it should be given a lot of support and their culture should be celebrated.

Let's be critical about the Spanish decision.
1. Ebola is deadly.
2. We have little control on animals.
3. The dog cannot be quarantine easily.
4. There is a high likelihood that strangers will play with the dog.
5. If human can run away from isolation wards, dogs can do worse.
