maasoap:
Was that also why they were borrowing uncontrollably?

What does borrowing uncontrollably mean? I didn't know they were doing that. Fashola in Lagos State also borrowed. Why did he do that?

wales:
Thanks for your reply, I feed d dog three times a day which d dog became very lazy and always sleeping, so I was advice to feed him less which I than feed him once a day. Can that be the cause or is there something else?

Please go back to feeding him 3 times a day as soon as possible. If you don't give your dog enough food at this stage, he won't grow well. What kind of food do you give him and how much of it do you feed him per meal. Going from 3 meals a day to 1 instead of 2 is very funny to me.

It's hard for government to save in times of plenty in a democracy. The opposition will accuse you of not doing anything to help the people.

wales:
Hello house, can someone advice me please for my dog hair is removing. What should I do?

Pictures please. It may or may not be normal.

oluomoadebayo:
Breed and feeding routine?

Good question!

striktlymi:
I am very disappointed at the response. Actually stopped reading after the third paragraph.

Your mistake.

I don't trust that these are not also lies. Both parties are constantly lying.

Afam4eva:
Are you implying that Awolowo would have prefered to form a country with the eastern region?

It would have been a more difficult decision for him. He would've had to consider whether they had the resources to defend the new country without much bloodshed and loss of life - I think the north produced most of the food we consumed and exported at that time. And even if the plan was feasible, Ojukwu would have wanted to be the supreme leader of the new country and Awolowo wouldn't have liked that.

Buhari's accent hasn't changed since 1985!

Secession would have been beneficial to Igbos because of the oil in the Niger Delta region. Biafra would have been far richer than the other regions. But that is precisely why a peaceful secession was impossible. That is why Awo did not agree with Ojukwu's plan for the 3 regions of the country to split up; the plan would only have benefitted the South East. It's like trying to divorce your spouse after winning a huge fortune.

By the time of the Murtala Muhammed coup, the senior leaders in the military were tired of power. But their subordinates were not.

Fela's tirade against democracy sounds incredible dumb now, considering the fact that his mum was killed by the next military government.

Yep, Danjuma is still alive. The only person who ever rejected power in the history of the country heh.

People loved Murtala Muhammed but I think he would have turned bad since he was corrupt. He had very good PR skills though. Unfortunately, his PR stunt of trying to live like an ordinary Lagosian in his own home and driving himself to work ironically is what led to his death.

Gowon's involvement in the Dimka coup is shocking. Was he a green snake afterall, or did he just miss power so badly?

Over time, our military leaders got older and fatter.

Danjuma was a smart dude. He refused to take Murtala Muhammed's role after the assassination. I wonder if he's still alive.

atlwireles:
I have watched this video before, the only person that made any sense to me was Gowon. Lots of pretenders and power hungry opportunist.

Yea, Gowon was alright. But he also got power hungry. "Nigeria is not yet ready for a return to civilian rule"

--

-- The Igbo cause was just tho.

Watching the gowon-Ojukwu peace parley:
Gowon comes accross as the kind of army officer who could have been a popular democratic leader.
Perhaps that's why he got into power despite not being the organizer of the coup against Ironsi.
Ojukwu was melancholic in comparison. But he had a just cause that Igbos believed in.

Major Ngeogwu was a really handsome, well-spoken, casually evil devil.
He sounds exactly like a university student in present-day Nigeria.

The Sardauna of Sokoto's gleeful explanation of his tribalistic policy is funny.

hatbricker:
hello mr. I admire you alot, but why can't you be non-partisan? Stop sweating to prove a point which doesn't exist. Asta la vista.

I said that the wikipedia article is objective. If I'm wrong, he should point out the parts of the wikipedia article that aren't objective as I said.

Rawani:
My point which I made very clear in my initial reply, is that Wikipedia is neither an objective, nor a reliable source of information, especially one that could influence an election decision. You are aware of your degree of influence in this forum and it would be unfortunate if anyone is misled to wholeheartedly trust Wikipedia's articles.

I didn't say all wikipedia articles are objective. I said that Buhari article is objective. If this is wrong, please show us which part of it is wrong.

Rawani:
That does not change the fact that Wikipedia's articles are not reliable or accepted as a reference source anywhere. Objectivity is promoted, not enforced, therefore it is not assured.

What part of the Wikipedia article is a lie in your opinion? Which of the things they said he did in the article did he not do in your opinion?

Rawani:
How can you call a Wikipedia article objective when it can be edited by anyone with an internet connection?

Wikipedia has rules that promote objectivity. It has editors and admins, who watch important pages and enforce the rules.

kingthreat:
Read it. If this coup was wrong then that means Buhari, Gowon, Obj, Ibb, Danjuma, Murtala, Adekunle are all evil. If not for the Northern coup, Nzeogwu that murdered Tafawa Balewa and many others in cold blood will be a hero today. That Northern coup was necessary to save Nigeria. Else our fate might be far worse than it is today.

I meant to ask people to read everything on the wikipedia page starting from that point. The coup is not the most disturbing thing there.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammadu_Buhari <-- read every word of this page before you vote; it's 100% objective.

donsheddy1:
We all believe he can do better than that, but you can agree with me that the present design still sucks, so work on a more better design than what he has now or rather collaborate with him to improve what he has rather than saying it's inferior.

I rest my case

The current dull colors make the text readable for long periods. When we used brighter colors people said their eyes were hurting them.

You are paid to support the man. There's no way that you can engage in any kind of honest debate.

Collynzo9:
2 or 3 coal power plants will not produce up to 1% of the pollution we currently get from millions of generators. Our air will even be far cleaner for it, if they can give us stable electricity with coal.

in that case, let's go for coal. I think the current government considered it and some practical issues prevented them from exploiting it though

tbaba1234:
Coal CAN create 1 direct and indirect million jobs if the industry is developed.

The problem is if you want to have a viable coal industry, you also need proper regulation.

It won't happen in 4 years, and frankly it comes at a high cost in terms of lives that will be lost in mines and air pollution from burning coal.

The OP can do better. That design is certainly inferior to the current one!
