“I can tell you that we may not have the best of democratic practices in the ACN for now, but there is no party in the country that can actually stand shoulder-to-shoulder with us in terms of party management.

“What we are doing, of course, suits our present situation as a developing nation, democratically and this is why our recent efforts have been geared towards consolidation which will go on for the next four to eight years.

“But when you ponder the needless rancour the Bayelsa issue has created, which one would you prefer as a person: The shoddily organised primaries of the PDP or the neatly done selection process by the ACN?

There is a general belief tha"Girls fall in love with what they hear. Boys fall in love with what they see. That's why girls wear make up; and boys lie"

Whenever it happens, all special forces that come in will be black and will speak Hausa better than the Shehu of Borno. That is the way America operates everywhere, for example, there were special forces living in Iraq for several months before the Gulf war; they dressed like Arabs, behaved Arabic and spoke Arabic. Same thing happened in Pakistan with the killing of Bin Laden (by the way, Pakistan is a nuclear power that is several times stronger than Nigeria militarily).

Boko haram has been seeking US attention, especially with the UN bombing. At some point, America is bound to respond.

Okay, but I dont think Nigerians are foolish ppl [the jury is still out on that though]

Nigerians can tell the diff between fresh civilized ppl and well. . . . Nigerians. I doubt the low profiles.

Jakumo:
Presumably Mr. Skii would rather be blown asunder by virgin-seeking Islamic camel-jockeys, than be protected by Uncle Sam.

Ileke Idi, special forces are chosen to blend in with the local populace, and if that entails using ONLY black US troops, there would be little problem assembling such a force, complemented by native language speaking translators.

Its so pathetic that in this type of country we tend to force a square peg in a round hole. This man has nothing to offer except what being advice to do. He has no knowledgeable mind of his own, he is not informed and equip with debatable facts, he's not vast and expose, he's not deep, smart and intelligent at all. He lacks quality and reasoning potency, he's lukewarm and doll, very slow and odious.
He's not motivating and encouraging at all. He lacks the ability to queue in the right words at the right time- not coordinated, calculated and concise.
I am very disappointed, US can not av this type of president.

Xavier.:
What have we gotten ourselves into?

Ten Kobo:
But they said this man is a PHD holder or is that also part of PDP's endless lies??

It is a sad development for partisan politics in Nigeria - one's loyalty is no longer governed by the party's ideals but by the most intimidatingvisible influence - ACN born from the throes of this young democracy seem to have allowed TinubuGod-fatherism overtake her vision not just for the Oduduwa nation but for Nigeria as a Political Entity. from imposition of candidates at all levels to a complete disconnect with the stakeholders at the grassroots (who matter the most).
The question is - was this move borne out of a need for equal representation or because there is a sense that the Captain of ACN Frigate is drunk on power and is nearing death's door

"23 years ago,in 1988, the SUG president in UNIJOS led a team of students in a protest against the removal of oil subsidy during the regime of the dictator, Ibrahim Babaginda. He termed "A crime against the Nigerian masses and a war against the poor. That SUG president is Mr Labaran Maku, the present minister for information. His new tune is that the removal is long over due."

Reggie2:
The political class of today's Nigeria is a creation of post war successive military ruler-ship which created a wealthy group of phantom politicians. The same people still occupy the seats of both the Senate and Reps with exception of a few. The same political parties, manifestos and slogans are still the same when Nigerians went to the pools in the last election. I am quite surprised that no one seem to question our Generals who suddenly become super rich and are now seen as the best candidates to move the country forward. 

I do not believe that tongue lashing, disrespect and share bigotry are the best bets for balanced information dissemination in Nigeria.

coogar:
very good!

now i know why girls continue to be immoral in nigeria.
men like you aid and abet their shameful acts.

The vast majorirty of people loved Gaddaffi. The west doesn't care about democracy or dictatorship. That is why they killed Patrice lumumba and installed Mobotu. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2000/aug/10/martinkettle

Mobutu destroyed Congo for 34 years. THis happens around the world with killing/overthrow of good leaders and installing bad leaders. Look up Thomas Sankara, Kwame Nkrumah, Salvadore Allende, Omar Torrino, Mossedegh, Gbagbo of Ivory Coast. This stuff is open nowadays. South American leaders stood up so they are growing now. Look at Brazil and Argentina.

IMF/WOrld Bank/ WTO are all used to enslave countries economically. IMF destroyed many countriees economy. WTO makes all the policies benefit developed countries. Why can America subsidize their farmers and Ethiopia can't? 54% of American farmers would be losing money if it wasn't for the farmer subsidy. You need to understand the strucutres.

CNN, Fox News, BBC are all conrolled by Murdoch. Watch Russia Today or Aljaezeera (not as biased).

Skii:
What has African taken from these people?

PHIPEX:
I said it before on this forum and am saying it again that even though I don't like Gaddafi but am sure that NATO has alterior motive for their "huge investment" in Libya. What is NATO waiting for to intervane in Somalia? Perhaps cos there will be no positive return on their investments - no Oil to loot.
Can some one remind me How long Paul Biya of Cameroun has been in power, where then is our good samaritan france?
Can you ever imagine NATO intervening in a country like Niger Republic on humanitarian ground?
[b]I just hope some of us will be wise enough to know that this same NATO may support militants or even Boko Haram tomorrow if our govt fail to protect their interest.[/b]On One Nigeria I stand

You are a good example of what I'm talking about; also of what texpette is also talking about.

First I said revolutionary change not a revolution; and it means a complete departure from the usual practice, a state of enemity of the goverment in power with the former system of running goverment business, utilising state's resources.

So what do you mean by "revolution my foot". Do you mean we don't need it or that Buhari/bakare presidency is not capable of doing this? And you beleive Jonathan will. Was I not right in saying we addicted to suffering, mediocrity (he's trying) etc

Buhari shed tears. You think he faked it? You think a grown man, a military man shed tears for nothing.

I give up.

By the way, I am in my thirties.

Glad to know many Nigerians aren't buying the bullshit Western deceit to overthrow Ghaddafi for Libyan oil. That country would be very restive for a while. The country deserves it anyway, for betraying their people in the name of freedom they will never have.
