Mind you,jonathan is a zionist israhelli supporter & anti-islam cos all the bombing in the north is carried out by israhelli secret agents in nigeria to kill muslims...As we know the north has the largest muslim population

iwriterng:
A larger percentage of Nairaland users don't understand a tad of international politics. So you expect Nigeria to align with Palestine (a struggling state) instead of United States [/b]and Israel[b] ?

What do we stand to gain from Palestine?

Dey there dey see what is funny.

You're yet to realise the deep hot soup you guys have submerged yourselves into by creating enemies accross regions through your careless and hostile utterances, all in a bid to promote the selfish political and economic ambition of GEJ, a non-igbo, who apparently does not care about you.

RockMaxi:
You are absolutely wrong. This is a game changer and if there is going to be a media/public debate, GMB should be made to answer this question. This will eventually exonerate him from all accusations of extremism and religious bigotry. Though we know politicians to renege on their promises...

I will break it down for you , give you a few books you can read and investigative journalist ,activist and bloggers you can follow. Be back in a moment .

You remember that guy in Tunisia who set himself on fire which was the catalyst to all the upheaval in the Middle East. That occurrence in isolation ,means absolutely nothing. But when combined to the increase in the price of wheat and other essentials in the lead up to the global recession , and the dictatorship in all the Arab countries, it becomes more apparent the kind of power global finance( Wall Street ) has the globe.
Just before Lehman brothers fell , the masters of the universe already knew what was coming . mortgages having become toxic meant alternatives have to be found to make money( these guys only care about their end of the year multi billion dollars bonuses).
The investment banker moved massively into commodities, driving everything from crude oil , steel ,wheat , rice , cocoa etc , driving prices sky high and breaking the laws of demand and supply.
speculation.
People were buying and selling commodities(papers) without even as much as seeing it . Crude oil was being bought and traded within seconds of leaving the Derrick.

Typical transaction
Say , you buy oil for 1 naira. You sell same to me for N2 . Another person comes and buy from me for N3 , another N4,.......... N5 , N6............. Then you decide to buy the same oil from the 6th buyer for N20 because you can find some to buy it for 25.
Same oil being passed around without any value being added ,within a period of 24hrs.
Commodities were parked in warehouses , crude oil tankers were parked offshore just for speculation purposes.
Basically for buying and selling papers purposes. The selling of derivatives( useless mortgages based securities) or useless papers was what blew up the us economy.
You are essentially paying taxes to these banks . Their profits is your misery .
The U.S. government looked the other way because the bankers have congress and most parts of the U.S government on vice-like grip.
The crash
With the government incapable of handing tax- payers money directly to these banks , they had to do this in subtle ways.
This included allowing them to continue speculating and continue driving the price of commodities sky high.

You have been watching too much of foxnews.You sound like a teabagger. Was the crude oil even worth $60 a barrel?
[/b]The Western establishment simply allow their banks to use speculation in commodities to repair their balance sheet after the recession[b] .

HzRF:
General’s loyalists, like Tinubu’s supporters, recourse to ‘eebu tins’ to sell their product. They curse and curse and curse. They rain insult upon insult on Nigerians

The Anglican Communion Bishops in Enugu
state have opposed the Catholic-Catholic
Gubernatorial ticket of the PDP in the state
for next year's general election.
Speaking to newsmen in Enugu under the
aegis of the Enugu Ecclesiastical Province
yesterday Dec. 17th, the Anglican Bishops
led by Archbishop of the Enugu
Ecclesiastical Province, [/b]Most Rev Emmanuel
Chukwuma[b] demanded that the Enugu
chapter of the PDP, zone the governorship
running mate slot to one of its members
otherwise they stand the chance of loosing
the Anglican Church's votes in next year's
election.
The Bishops said they welcomed the party's
consensus gubernatorial candidate, Hon
Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi who is a Catholic but are
opposed to the Catholic/Catholic
governorship ticket of the party..
“We the Anglican Bishops are crying
and appealing that Anglicans in Enugu
state will not tolerate marginalisation
and should be giving the position of
deputy governor of the state. For the
position of governor and deputy
governor to be Catholic/Catholic will
not be acceptable to us. In the Federal
level, people are not happy with
Christian/Christian ticket, hence the
president has taken a very good stand
to return as President and pick a
Moslem as his running mate. Why
should Enugu State, therefore,
nominate a Roman Catholic
governorship candidate who we are not
against and wanting again to nominate
a Roman Catholic as the running
mate? We Anglicans say no to this kind
of arrangement. We are not in
minority in Enugu state and we totally
reject that intention and are warning
that if they want peace to reign in this
state and for them to enjoy our
cooperation, it should not be Roman
Catholic/ Roman Catholic ticket”the
bishops said.
The Bishops went further to say that
“Former Governor of the State,
Chimaroke Nnamani who served from
1999 to 2007 is a Methodist. He picked
Okechukwu Itanyi, a Catholic as his
Deputy. Nnamani handed over to
Sullivan Chime who is Roman Catholic.
Sullivan chose Sunday Onyebuchi, a
Methodist or so, not an Anglican as
Deputy. As they are going out, all those
who want to become governor are
Catholics and in the PDP, they are
plotting to make their running mate a
Catholic. We are saying give us an
Anglican Deputy, otherwise you are
looking for our trouble".

IKRI APC

[/b]IKRI[b] is a mythical Nigerian creature which operates at night according to legend.

The IKRI APC is developed by DCD a South-African Company and Mekahog a local Nigerian defence manufacturer for the Nigerian police.

So far 8 Units have been delivered to the Nigerian police.

The sad thing is that there is no choice by voting GEJ for the SE.

Those that hate GEJ most got most of the projects of his administration. The Mambilla hydro dam, the Zungeru hydro dam, the Abuja Kaduna modern rail, Lagos Ibadan expressway etc,etc. Even the Enugu-Onitsha road GEJ promised to construct have been abandoned. Nobody is talking about the dualisation of Enugu-Abakaliki road anymore.

[/b]The coastal railway line GEJ has been proposing was designed to perfectly dodge the SE[b]. If that zone were the north or west, it would have been included. For me, GEJ win or loss will amount to the same thing for the SE-Continued Marginalization.

My fear is that APC led by Buhari might still lose this time, perhaps by a smaller margin than last time. If they made the slightest effort to encourage Igbo people into the party and resist Igbo haters as Hell rufai and Kwankwaso's bigotry, the outcome would have been a forgone conclusion.

I will forward dis to the National Assembly!

BackDatAssUp:
PENGASAN like ASUU and NLC national executives are corrupt and the strike has more political undertones to it.

The PIB is an executive bill that originated from this administration. It's non passage is a legislative issue and not an FG policy wahala.

They ought to picket the National Assembly if they are honest about the PIB passage and not strike.

The APC hands are all over this to discredit this govt more with an industrial strike before the elections.

BackDatAssUp:
Not only FAAN but other govt entities.

The number one on my list should be the NNPC and all their rubish subsidiaries and ventures.

This is a company that neither explores, drills or markets crude.

All sectors within the production chain be it up or downstream are contracted to private foriegn companies.

The NNPC just have staff sitting in their offices passing files, going on foriegn courses up to PHD on govt expense, and doing local tours for the DTA.

They are a monumental waste.
