Speak for yourself please.
Myself and the vast majority of Nigerians, aware of General Buhari's human rights abuse antecendents and intolerance for criticisms do not need to be horse-whipped to follow the law.
What we need is a leader who leads by example i.e. he obeys the law himself even when it is inconvenient.

What antecedents? He acted as any military head would. Obasanjo was a military head; his record during that regime was therefore military. As a civilian, he sang songs of 'rule of law.' It's not going to be too different with Buhari. The major difference that Obj failed to effect is the destruction of corruption. Buhari/Bakare symbolize zero-tolerance. You need to keep it in mind that the unambiguous flip-side of zero corruption is accelerated development. PDP epitomizes corruption; just look around you for that flip-side,

EzeUche_:

What are you talking about? This is how a cargo train is suppose to look like. That is how cargo trains look like in the United States, UK and France. Maybe you should learn the difference in looks between a passenger train and a cargo train before you comment.

Oh I'm well aware of how newly acquired trains should look, cargo or otherwise. What one should expect of the security situation and the surrounding environment does not require too much deep thought either. Kindly point me to a decent passenger train in Nigeria to validate your weak point.

What dimension of third-world piece of junk is this? Why do we celebrate sub-mediocre projects? Simple aesthetics and security cannot be achieved, and you expect long-term efficiency in the rail-system? This entire charade was activated to delude your minds and wrongly skew your votes. It'll all be deservingly retired on May 30. Vote Buhari/Bakare's CPC at the federal level for true change. Examine your candidates thoroughly at the state and legislative levels and vote whatever party wisely.

The presido needs a fleet of 8 birds?

mens dept:

The fact that you put Buhari and Abdulsalami Abubukar on the same level as a true freedom fighter (NELSON MANDELA) shows that you aren't serious, and in short, an EJOT!!!


Nonsense

In what college is this textbook of profound logic issued? I'm not the author btw.

If you have the time, indulge!

, Here are some truths from an Aso Rock insider who pleaded anonymity for this article. He recounts his experiences and reveals what you may not know about Goodluck Jonathan.


The existence of godfatherism, the wide gap in the number of majority and minority parties in the National Assembly, the obvious domination by one party, the imposition of candidates, lack of system of performance assessment of politicians, the importance of party affiliation or allegiance above individual competence, inexistence of organized selection processes for the electorates, use of crude methods in electoral processes, high number of tribunal cases and rampancy of electoral vices are some of the existing challenges in Nigeria’s democracy.


On arrival of Goodluck Jonathan to the fore national scene, he brought with him new “diseases” such as zoning, national confusion alongside party instability, intimidation of opposition parties, campaign of calumny, ad-libitum governance, ad-hominen politics etc. The way things are presently, I can beat my chest that anything ‘Goodluck Jonathan’ can at the end spark a civil war in the country, he is too controversial and the earlier he goes, the better. Goodluck Jonathan is the father of ad-hominen politics in Nigeria, he knows how to appeal to people’s emotions so as to dodge the issues important to them, when he’s meant to tell how he is going to solve problems, he tries to woo the public by saying he won’t disappoint them, that he is ready to lose gracefully and that he’s not holding issues with anyone. His campaign has been playing tricks with his names ‘Goodluck’ and ‘Azikiwe’ by trying to make the public believe that he actually has luck and that another Nnamdi Azikiwe has emerged, can you just imagine that?, what about the other candidates bearing Pat, Nuhu and Muhammadu, don’t they have luck too? Cruel leaders in history like Adolf Hitler, Benito and Pol Pot all played ad-hominen politics and Goodluck Jonathan is doing the same. It would be a shame on the people of Nigeria if Goodluck Jonathan “wins” the April polls without appearing on a single political debate, he slapped the entire nation by shunning the NN24 debate when a veteran leader like Muhammadu Buhari and his former colleague, Ibrahim Shekarau thinks it’s worthwhile to stand for at least two hours before the good people of Nigeria, is that alone not a sign that Goodluck Jonathan is scared because he knows he has no clue about governance and that he doesn’t have a plan for Nigeria? Former president Olusegun Obasanjo once appeared on a political debate in 1999, he didn’t appear on any in 2003 yet “he won” the election, it is not a good example, he’s the one that set such precedence for Jonathan whom he mentored, maybe Jonathan wants to do the same, but no matter what the case may be, the fact is that Chief Obasanjo did appear before. Never again should Nigerians go to the polls without debating with candidates. Goodluck Jonathan said he would attend the NEDG political debate organized by Taiwo Alimi of all people, the debate where they would have hired clappers and have tailored the questions and the best responses before Jonathan, a wise candidate won’t bother to attend.


Have you not noticed that Goodluck Jonathan lacks confidence? He knows inside of him he doesn’t have the stuff Nigerians want to see, if he could have his way, he would not appear in public. Have you forgotten that Goodluck Jonathan was chosen as vice-president not because of merit or competence but to balance the regional equation? He admitted this in one of the wikileaks leakages when he was conversing with the former Nigerian Ambassador to the US. Goodluck Jonathan plans to outsource the educational sector thereby mortgaging the future of Nigeria unlike Muhammadu Buhari who improved the nation’s economy and reduced inflation from about 23% to about 4% with a home-grown economic team. Goodluck Jonathan’s style of government is “money, money, money”, to any problem that faces the country, his regular answer is “give them more money”; this man is a wolf in sheep skin, Nigerians are yet to see his true colour, beware of those who beam with smiles. It is quite clear that Goodluck Jonathan is desperate to win in April, even from his body language in his rallies, you’ll know he really can’t afford to lose. His PDP presidential primary “victory” wasn’t really celebrated because he himself knew the game he played; he knew it wasn’t on merit after offering each delegate about US$7,000, all from taxpayer’s money.


In just nine months, the national treasury has reduced to a record low just as Bayelsa’s treasury was swept dry; remember he was quite reluctant to declare his assets then. His former boss, Diepreye Alamieyesigha was a thief of international dimension, will his deputy say he doesn’t know or have a share in it? Even in an ordinary secondary school class, the class prefect and his assistant have a way they do things, how much more a governor and his deputy. His wife, Patience is said to be a better thief, Jonathan is surely a low quality president, a man can be known from the quality of his wife. Can you compare Patience Jonathan with the likes of Hilary Clinton or Michelle Obama or even Turai Yar’Adua? See these women and the quality of their husband’s leadership, isn’t there a strong correlation? While late president Yar’Adua was struggling for breath on his sick bed, Patience Jonathan was heard saying “ na sidon we dey, dem make us deputy governor; na sidon we dey, dem make us governor; na sidon we dey, dem make us acting president; na sidon we still dey sidon oooo” how can a first lady be praying and expecting the death of her husband’s boss just like a vulture waiting patiently for its prey to die, that is wickedness!; afterall, the story of her husband’s uprising right from his childhood has been mystical, one must fall before Goodluck can rise. Patience Jonathan travels round the world embarrassing the nation, she doesn’t sit properly in public, she can’t speak elementary English Language or even read a speech free of errors, she doesn’t know her followers are sycophants, the Bola Shagayas and the rest, she is yet to catch them making jest of her as she speaks or reads her speeches.
Have you ever heard of the wife of Nicolas Sarcozy or Barack Obama or any other leader in the world, even in Africa alone, campaigning for their husband? It is only in Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign that a wife can run a parallel campaign with her husband. Even as extravagant, fun-loving and attention-seeking as late Stella Obasanjo was, she dared not do that, that is because Chief Olusegun Obasanjo is a prudent man but Goodluck Jonathan allowed his wife because he is not thrifty as a person talk less for a nation. Former president Olusegun Obasanjo cleared Nigeria’s debts and restored our dignity, Goodluck Jonathan incurred debts and destroyed our dignity, even the late Yar’Adua, his former boss, did not borrow. Goodluck Jonathan spends a minimum of 100 Million Naira to organize a single campaign rally, for 36 states minus the FCT mega rally, that makes it 3.6 Billion Naira, then add that of Patience Jonathan’s rally for 36 states, that makes it 7.2 Billion Naira, don’t forget the concerts he paid for, his jingles every minute on radio and television stations, the accommodation and feeding bills for himself and his army of aides, the accompanying visitors, the estacode, the bribe he would give the traditional rulers on courtesy visits, the special events like cocktails, the campaign materials, the hired crowds, his 1000 and something groups he convened and he is funding; in fact, I attended a meeting of one of the Goodluck/Sambo groups I belonged, there’s no way you wouldn’t feel like a cult member, you’ll be amazed at the kind of things we discussed, just imagine how much money is being spent on the overall, whose money do you think he is spending?, and we see innocent Nigerians on TV everyday begging to raise just 5 Million Naira for a kidney transplant, they have to be flown abroad because of a collapsed healthcare system.


The tyrant in him shows in his intimidation of opposition parties, he asked traditional rulers not to receive opposition party candidates who may want to pay courtesy visits, he denied opposing parties the use of public facilities while he doesn’t pay a dime for them. Sometime last year in Abuja, a major road in the central business district was barricaded just because his wife was holding a programme on that route, that led to confusion in the city and a hold-up that the residents of Abuja cannot forget in a hurry, how can a person hold an entire population to ransom?, had it been they are in the good books of the public, why should they feel insecure?. Goodluck Jonathan was never elected so he doesn’t have value for his position, when you don’t earn or work for something, you cannot have value for it. Goodluck Jonathan is not in touch at all with the people, he is clueless about how to handle the simplest of issues, he is a pawn in the hands of the western powers, he doesn’t care so far the money is rolling in, he has already mortgaged the nation’s oil sector, he needs to be edged out before he bargains our individual destinies. In an interview, Jonathan was asked to make comments as ECOWAS Chairman about the crisis in Cote d’Ivoire, and he began with “they said we should, ” now, who are the they?, as the ECOWAS Chairman, is he not meant to be the one giving the directives?, it shows that he is clueless and never in-charge, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo can never respond that way, neither would he be intimidated by any foreign power.
A most embarrassing scenario was the Independence Day bombing, the then Information Minister, Dora Akunyili said it was MEND that bombed and MEND itself claimed responsibility for the bomb blasts but Goodluck Jonathan said no, that it wasn’t MEND that bombed that he knows his people; as if he sleeps and wakes with them on the same bed every day, so if it’s not his own people, then it means the Yoruba, Igbos and the Hausas he is ruling are the bad eggs in the country. It was revealed that Henry Okah was persuaded to deny the Independence Day bombings but he refused and that he is being punished in South Africa for his refusal, Okah can never be tried in Nigeria because Okah’s supporters would shame Jonathan over and over again. Goodluck Jonathan offered Dr. Tunde Bakare’s Save Nigeria Group (SNG) US$50,000, if not for the true integrity of the group, no one would know and we would have heard SNG endorsing Jonathan like other “integrity” groups he bought over. The militant in Jonathan is set to show if he “wins” in April, he is constantly being persuaded by his advisers (who are the ones truly ruling the country) to use his presidential powers, his Chief-of-Staff is a major influence on him, his advisers are the ones gingering his weak liver, they were the ones who made him to reshuffle his cabinet when he assumed office nine months ago and now, they are gingering him to clamp down on Bola Tinubu, his major opposition leader. You may not know that the late Yar’Adua did not have faith in Jonathan, Jonathan was a figurehead when Yar’Adua was in office, Yar’Adua preferred the likes of Speaker Dimeji Bankole and Yayale Ahmed to handle issues and attend events that the vice-president should. If Yar'Adua, who is himself weak, could recognise a greater weakling in Jonathan, you can imagine how weak Jonathan is. Yar'Adua had the character but lacked the competence but Jonathan lacks both the character and the competence.


On Goodluck Jonathan’s state-to-state rally which ended in Jigawa, he said he deliberately chose to campaign last in Jigawa and that he dared not begin his rally late in the evening anywhere else in the country, that Jigawa is not like other parts of the country where there are security concerns and that Jigawa people are peaceful people which in turn meant that the people in Ogun, Osun, Kaduna, Imo and the rest of the nation are troublemakers, should a president be talking this way? He also referred to South-West governors as rascals and yet he insisted he would not apologise. Goodluck Jonathan’s craving for alcohol is an open secret. Jonathan was destabilized when the Farouk Abdul-Mutallab’s bomb issue happened, he had no idea of what to do, he was obviously caught off-guard, he eventually embarrassed the nation because he could not take an affirmative action.


Today, terrorist sects are still thriving in the nation. Have you not noticed that Goodluck Jonathan’s words are not coherent at times, he is not in touch with himself, how much more the people of a nation, how can a man few years above the age of 50 be senile already? How can a president be mute after visiting a crisis-ridden state like Ogun State where the state House of Assembly members refused to meet yet are getting paid? Goodluck Jonathan even agreed to commission the newly completed Ogun State secretariat which the late Yar’Adua had commissioned earlier, is that not a sign of disrespect and disloyalty to his former boss? Instead, he chose the widely-hated governor to be the South-West coordinator of his presidential campaign. In the Ogun State presidential rally, Governor Gbenga Daniel was heavily booed, Ogun people are weeping because of Daniel’s evil and fetish deeds. Now, birds of the same feathers surely must flock together, the bond between Daniel and Jonathan is unexplainable. Jonathan offered the wife of a rebel leader, Bianca Ojukwu an appointment to seal his deals with APGA, a party led by the Biafran leader, Odimegwu Ojukwu who sought to divide the nation; the party in turn became the first political party to adopt Jonathan as its presidential candidate. “Goodluck Jonathan’s choice” of Mohammed Namadi Sambo as vice-president was merely to balance the regional equation just as it was done for him three years ago and not that Sambo is so competent or that he complements Jonathan’s inadequacies. By the way, Jonathan wasn’t the one who chose Sambo, where does he want to find the gut? Sambo was the person the PDP cabals chose for him.
On other major presidential candidates, Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau of the ANPP is a very sound and intelligent man but he is not known outside of Kano State; infact, Prof. Pat Utomi said he would vote Shekarau hadn’t been that he is running for the presidency too. Nevertheless, one cannot compare Shekarau’s experience with that of Muhammadu Buhari who has been a state administrator six times, a PTDF boss and then a president, Shekarau is a very confident man but his confidence in his intellect makes him a potential autocrat in the ranks of George W. Bush and Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida, the political “maradonas”. The ANPP’s choice of former Edo State governor, John Odigie-Oyegun as Shekarau’s running mate was not a people-oriented decision but also to balance the regional equation, besides, the ANPP family is so small with the likes of Harry Akande, Bashir Tofa and Birmah defecting to the PDP, time was running out on the party and someone had to be chosen as a vice. The ACN is the jester in this presidential contest; Mallam Nuhu Ribadu is one of the poorest and the most undiplomatic orator one can ever encounter, at the NN24 debate, he was the only candidate that asked the moderator to repeat her question, though it is not wrong to do that, I think he needed more time to think. The ACN’s choice of Fola Adeola was also regionally-motivated and time was running out on them too, they had to choose somebody, if not, they would not have presented a Muslin-Muslim ticket, they began to use the Abiola/Kingibe sentiment that if a Muslim-Muslim ticket could work in 1993, it can work in 2011, that is, eighteen years after. They don’t know that for such an arrangement to work, one of the personalities must be very strong and must have an excellent reputation but I don’t think the names ‘Fola Adeola’ and ‘Nuhu Ribadu’ combined together can open half the doors the name ‘Abiola’ can open even in his grave. These two individuals made sectoral impacts but M.K.O. Abiola made national impacts, there’s no way two wrongs can make a right. Besides, the Bola Tinubu factor in the ACN is making the party unattractive to the public.
It is only the choice of the CPC candidate, Muhammadu Buhari that was not influenced by any external factor or pressure, it is no longer news that some high profile Nigerians tried to influence Buhari’s choice but he stood his ground, he chose a man who complemented him in and out ignoring all criticisms, the pair of Muhammadu Buhari and Dr. Tunde Bakare is similar to that with the late Tunde Idiagbon, the formula that brought Nigeria glory. Dr. Tunde Bakare is a very disciplined and intelligent man and one of the most articulate men the country has ever produced, he has a background in law, he thrived in a field that requires unwavering integrity, his personal discipline and integrity can make him ensure fiscal discipline in the nation’s economic and financial sector, though I’m not one of his topmost fans, I must be very honest with Nigerians. Muhammadu Buhari is not a rich man because he did not embezzle, he has no corruption allegation traceable to him till date, he acts more and talks less, you may not know he has a great sense of humour and while he is improving on his ability to express his ideas, Bakare can do the talking anywhere in the world. He made his choice truly in the interest of the people of Nigeria. Alhaji Maitama Sule, an elder statesman and an advocate of good governance stated clearly that a blend of the old and the young is what can move Nigeria forward, he said the experience of the old and the vibrancy of the young is what Nigeria needs now in order to be great again. I think the Buhari/Bakare ticket represents Alhaji Sule’s position; afterall, the elder statesman has nothing to lose at his stage in life.


Now, back to Goodluck. Nowadays, I see Goodluck Jonathan beaming with unexplainable confidence as if he is certain he would win in April, have you not noticed that the date extensions and other moves by INEC are all in favour of the ruling PDP? In other words, the nation is not ready until the PDP is ready. No matter the level of neutrality, Jega would have a soft spot for the man who nominated him for his current job and also his party. Against all speculations, the PDP is truly not ready to relinquish power anytime soon, if they do, that means the likes of Chief Tony Anenih, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo and Adamu Ciroma would be out of business, do you think they are ready to be sleeping and waking up every morning doing nothing for at least the next four years?, I doubt if the April polls would be credible. The PDP would remain in power for at least the next 32 years if Jonathan is not voted out now or we allow them to use their next tactics. I will reveal to you their next tactics, they are:


i. Strategic Cross-carpeting: they support a candidate from another party and ask him to crossover to the PDP.


ii. Opposition Ambush: they send their candidate to a strong opposition party and ensure he acquires their ticket. On getting the ticket, the “candidate” does not campaign or do anything so as to give room for the PDP candidate to win.


iii. Strategic replication of party: the PDP army changes name by moving to another party they have a great share in e.g. APGA. Thus, the PDP barons and cartels remain in power but under a different name.
The Nigerian public must be very careful of these tactics; that is why it is important for the people to vote for the personality and not the party; the Nigerian public should always check the character and credentials of individuals before going to the polls.


From all indications, it is clear that the people don’t want Goodluck Jonathan, on his campaign trail to Nassarawa, the people stoned him and were shouting ‘Sai Buhari!’, in Port Harcourt, people walked out on him but the security men would not allow them go and that led to a stampede and people died, Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign rally has recorded the highest number of casualties and the PDP rallies in general, in Ibadan, he spoke to a sparse crowd, creating a need to hire more crowd. He made promises to the Super Falcons to encourage them to reclaim the AWC title, they eventually did and yet, they have not received a dime after six months, you hear campaign jingles say “Goodluck Delivers”, they were meant to say “Deliver us from Goodluck”. If Goodluck Jonathan could not fulfil his promises to ordinary Super Falcons, how can he fulfil his promises to the entire nation? At least, it is when one is faithful in little that he can be given more. The power sector, the economy, the educational sector etc. are all dead. Because of his campaign, we began to see electricity, which means that if the government truly wants to get it right, they would; thus, the suffering of the masses by the government is rather intentional, if there is electricity, that means that the oil barons and business heavyweights under the name “friends of Goodluck Jonathan” won’t make much profit anymore. Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign teams are out of ideas, a trait characteristic of Goodluck Jonathan himself, copying Rev. Chris Okotie’s ‘I am Chris Okotie’ jingle and Muhammadu Buhari’s slogan ‘Sai Buhari’, now you hear bootlickers chanting ‘Sai Goodluck’. What a team!


Goodluck Jonathan’s nine months in office has been crisis-ridden, he has wrecked the nation, one would know if a government would perform right from its first days in office, ACN’s Babatunde Fashola has achieved more in Lagos State in less than four years than the PDP has achieved in 12 years. Twelve years is no small time, a child that was born 12 years ago would be in JSS 2 by now. Traditionally, when a person is in authority and things go wrong always, it means that he is not meant to be there. Buhari’s regime never witnessed any religious crisis. Goodluck Jonathan is just counting days, enjoying himself while it lasts, he plans to extend the tenure of the president to a single term of 6 years, why is it when he is in office, why can’t he suggest it begins with whoever he hands over to?, if not for greed. Goodluck would have earned the respect of the whole world if he wasn’t running; he would have left a legacy of a free and fair election and become a global example. The likes of Nelson Mandela, Abdulsalami Abubakar and Muhammadu Buhari have a good reputation because they left a legacy within the short time they had the opportunity to serve the people. On my trip to Ethiopia sometime ago, I had the honour of meeting Abdulsalami Abubakar, he is indeed a global figure, he is really enjoying his life travelling round the globe settling disputes, which is what elders do. If Jonathan was indeed sober and truly loyal to his late boss, he would have just helped his boss complete his tenure and then “leave with him”, I’m quite sure that the late Yar’Adua won’t be happy at how his trusted servant betrayed him. Goodluck Jonathan is a mere opportunist. He had a fair chance to put his footprints on the sand of time but he’s just too greedy. Since he chose not to leave honourably, we will push him out with our votes like they did to Gbagbo and the rest. In April, vote for a candidate with integrity and save Nigeria from impending political massacre.

Nigeria is currently losing over N15bn annually to vendors of fake vehicle licences, the Corp Marshal, Federal Road Safety Corps, Mr. Osita Chidoka, has said.

The FRSC boss said the corps would introduce a new driving licence, as well as new number plates with new security features, in order to make it difficult for fraudsters to continue to forge the documents.

He spoke at a press briefing in Lagos on Thursday.

The corp marshal, who disclosed that the new regime would take effect from April this year, added that the organisation was disturbed by the growing number of syndicates engaged in the illegal production of driving licences and other vehicle documents in the country.

He said, “We find it necessary to introduce the new driver’s licence because the current one has lots of loopholes, which have made it practically impossible for us to continue to rely on it.

“The new one has many features that will curb insider abuse and make it (the licence) valid as an identity card when necessary. It will also improve our comprehensive data base, which makes crime traceable.”

Chidoka stressed that the new driving licence was driven by critical factors, such as integrity, accessibility, quality and cost effectiveness.

The new arrangement, according to him, will also address the problem of lack of acceptable data base for the number of drivers and vehicles available in different parts of the country.

The FRSC chief executive added that drivers below 25 years would be required to renew their provisional driving licences until they clocked 25. Similarly, those above 65 years will undergo strict verification every year at states’ vehicle inspection offices before being issued with the licence.

He, however, warned that any driver under 25 years would not be allowed to drive at night. The hell??

“On those under 25, they will be issued with graduate licences and it is renewable annually until they get to the required age. And the current one is for three years, just like the one we currently use. The new regime we want to roll out is even more advanced than what they use in some European countries,” he noted.

Chidoka said that the new driving licence would cost N6,000; while vehicle owners would pay N15,000 for a new number plate, each of which could be processed online or manually.

He said that, henceforth, number plates would be issued in the names of vehicle owners, adding that when a vehicle was resold, the new owner would be required to take another number.

“The FRSC is really prepared for this new regime because it has taken us a long time to get to where we are today. In the past one year, we have been collaborating with the Vehicle Inspection Officers and other agencies that are necessary in ensuring free flow of traffic on our roads,” he said.

The Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) yesterday rejected the campaign jingle of the presidential candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) General Muhammadu Buhari on grounds that it contained messages that were offensive to the government. The jingle is the first intended to be run by the CPC on the national network. One of Buhari’s campaign aides who does not want his name in print told Daily Trust that after booking the advert and making necessary payments, they were later told that the jingle would not be ran on NTA because it was critical of government. The NTA authorities therefore demanded that such areas be removed.



Director General of the Buhari campaign Alhaji Sule Hamma confirmed the incident, explaining that the jingle was turned down because it contains things like “no good roads,” and so on. “They said it was critical of the PDP government. By implication, NTA belongs to PDP,” he said. When asked what the campaign would do in view of the development, Alhaji Hamma said the CPC will explore constitutional means to seek redress.

He said the regulator body, NBC, has to ensure that every political party gets equal access to the media as provided by the law.

Attempts to speak with the NTA authorities last night failed.

Aiight then . Although he's not actually writing a word, brilliant political move,

My brother in nairaland, i luv jonathan because of his commitment, hardworking, ability to compose esay, huminity and the act of giving less privilege chance to prove his/her ability, but i want to do away with PDP, WHATs d best step?

I wonder why the elementary ability to write essays should list as a 'presidential' asset. If you're referring to the sensationalized write-ups on facebook, it's written by some paid, deluded team of a vision-starved 'build-up Nigeria project.' Your best step to rid your dear country of the PDP disease is to vote CPC or ACN. To ensure that your vote is not forgotten in the statistics of electoral history, vote CPC; BB holds the better chance.

So JOURNALISTS boarded the trains and they didn't take a freakn million pictures??

I hope these four guys boycott any BON debate. GEJ will surely lose after such embarrassing move.

how the hell is this white-elephant?

Is this guy trying to compare Angola's 2million barrel oil exports for 20million people to Nigeria's 2.3million barrels for 150million people?

boy t:

All this Colonial Masters with their ratings, think Nigerians still clamour to enter UK, as China leads the world economy today, so will our potential students search for alternative.

You got that right.

I dont think Julian Assange deserved a Nobel prize for peace. He had not make effort to bring peace to the war. So I wonder why on earth , he is been given a Nobel prize for peace.


And some of the information claim by wikileaks are false. Like the one about the USA embassy in Nigeria , this are lies. And also the one which claim Yar adua had kidney transplant. This is false story.  How could that bring peace.
I know when Yar adua was support to had a transplant. Even if you go on that website. You can find any information usefull. you cant find anything.

Julian Assange may deserve a Nobel prize, but not the Nobel prize for peace. this is my personnal opinion.

The nobel stopped being about merit after Obama.

Pls visit this site and vote your favorite new artiste for a video. I'll like you to vote Nosa. S Omoregie, but vote otherwise if you really don't like him.

Thanks!

SSS Intercepts $10 million Cash at Lagos Airport

By Idowu Sowunmi

05 Feb 2011

The State Security Service (SSS) Friday intercepted huge cash -$10 million and I million euros - parked in four Ghana-Must-Go bags at the Murtala Muhammed Airport, Ikeja, Lagos.

THISDAY learnt that the money was brought in from Kano by two men who were said to be heading for Dubai. The two men have already been arrested.

It was learnt that the men arrived at the local airport and were moving towards the international airport to board Emirate Airlines to Dubai when they were intercepted.

The SSS men who intercepted them were said to have quickly alerted the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission over the matter.

Sources said EFCC has established two possible leads. One, that it may have been a case of money laundering or two, a possible case of terrorism financing.

It was feared that the money could be remnants of campaign funds by some politicians or being deployed to buy arms for terrorism financing and that the two men involved could be mere couriers.

THISDAY, however, learnt that the police have been involved in the matter and that the EFCC has already approached the police to have the case transferred to it since money laundering and terrorism financing falls under its purview.

Contacted over the matter, EFCC Spokesman Femi Babafemi said the commission was aware of the case.

He said: “We are aware of the development. The Chairman (Mrs. Farida Waziri) has asked our team in Lagos to liase with the Police to transfer the case to EFCC with a view to unravelling those behind the illegal movement of such huge cash so we can prosecute them.”

I have equal respect for all fields except Humanities and the Arts. Great appreciation for music and visual arts, but I consider History, theater, language and the likes intellectually inferior.
