From the way things are going the MMA is not going to be enough. Most cities in the USA have more than 5 airports so the issue of creating additional airport for Lagos is not to be misunderstood because for many years, Lagos has proved to be an international centre for trade and business.

When will the Nigerian government see provision of basic amenities and infrastructures as a top priority and not just paying lip service to these important issues?. May the victims of the mishap rest in perfect peace. Amen!

These weapons were obviously not manufactured by the Niger Delta militants but were provided for them by our armour bearers i.e. some corrupt members of the armed forces most especially the ever hungry 'men in black' or maybe imported into the country through our porous borders.

Amodu is even lucky to be given a second chance. His 1st chance before now ended not too good for the Super Eagles. I don't know where NFF get these kind of people from. If something is not done to stop this nonsense, another clown would replace Amodu. As for him, he should not think of coming back. Winning is not everything but the urge to win is and the current Super Eagles team has not got the wherewithal.

I live in Abj but will gladly choose Lagos because it is more realistic and people friendly than my abode.

This is the bonus that comes with submitting to the amnesty, I guess.

The landlord has no right to increase the amount for the sale since a deposit has been made for the former price. The landlord will obviously lose the case in the court.

I doubt it if we will perform better in this competition. As for hosting it, FIFA has doubt and Mexico has been considered as a befitting replacement.

In preparing a write-up, starting is always the problem. I think the first step for you is to understand the topic then start the introduction. The introduction of the topic may be divided into sub-topics and sub-headings. Also, tackle the body of the write-up by addressing each point in a paragraph then conclude.

Two weeks is just too little to do anything meaningful.

Ha! two parties would just make it easier to hold on to power and also to rig. Dictatorship is the end result.
Democracy entails freedom in government and multiple choices of those who intend to govern.

It is obvious that PDP would win. Our votes are insignificant and therefore does not count.

Akala or whatever his name is, does he know what it takes to be a graduate?. He has lost vision and should be kicked out of the government because he indeed doesn't have a workable plan for the Oyo youths. I pity him because he is nothing to write home about.

His achievements are in progress but this award is supposed to stand for a lifetime achievement. Obama is on seat for less than 365 days and he definitely doesn't fit in for a nomination. I would've prefered Morgan Tsvangirai who brokered a peace deal to stand in for a coalition government in Zimbabwe. The whole truth about Obama is that he speaks much and do-little.

It clearly shows the disregard for the wife. I don't subscribe to dehumanize and make other people less important than yourself. It just shows the beginning of the end for that family union. This misbehaviour is common but it does not change the fact that it is bad and one party is suffering in silence.
Life is not a bed of roses but should a nuclear family be interfered by a couple of idle and impossible to please in-laws?.

This is just a stimulus to aid corruption. We are just copying US economy the wrong way. What Nigeria needs is more than pumping funds into the wide pockets of dubious few. Every state should develop its people as well as its society.

THERE has been a series of interventions in the imbroglio between the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) but none has raised so much hope as the latest by the Governor of Edo State, Mr. Adams Oshiomhole, a veteran trade unionist and former President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC).

His intervention and the promise of renewed negotiations between the ASUU and the Federal Government raise a number of salient issues about the nature of leadership at the Federal Government level and the calibre of the President's appointed advisers. For over three months, it has been beyond the ability of the government's experts to proffer a solution to a festering problem that strikes at the very foundation of Nigeria's human resource development and capacity building mechanism. It is more worrying to realise that this has been a recurrent problem that has become over the years a typical Nigerian malaise.

It is a curious irony that earlier interventions of the Committees of Vice Chancellors (CVC), Chancellors and Pro-Chancellors, all deriving from the system, have been insufficient to enable government seize on some rare wisdom and understanding. This is apart from whatever advice professional experts would have had to offer, filtering the experience of other nations and our own past experience. Whether or not the Federal Government accepts the proposition, it has taken the intervention of Mr. Oshiomhole from outside the Federal structure, to draw government out of its shell.

In the first place, the initial decision of the Federal Government to call off the talks with ASUU was most baffling; ASUU members are not just citizens of Nigeria, but also direct custodians at a high level, of the country's capacity building process. The ASUU strike is a matter the government should not have consigned to a lackadaisical treatment given our critical need for capacity building and a first step to demonstrate that it is not just paying lip-service to Vision 20:2020 objectives.

Students in public universities have now stayed at home for a period equivalent to a whole semester. Although there is now strong hope for rapprochement between ASUU and the Federal Government, but so far all we can see is an abatement of ill-feeling between the two main parties to the dispute. The new window of opportunity offered by Governor Oshiomhole's intervention should therefore be fully explored.

Let it be clear to the Federal government what the people of this country expect from it. Their children are not supposed to come out of the universities half-baked and unemployed, as only the children of presidents, legislators, professors, businessmen and in general those who can afford overseas training cream off the good jobs, leaving those from the middle class and the poor in a lurch. Nigerians are interested in quality education for their children, and an education sector that is empowered in every respect to serve that purpose.

Government should go on talking with ASUU, exploring all facets of negotiation to pull through a solution that will bring peace to our campuses, an elementary peace that is taken for granted in other countries. ASUU, on its part, must also take advantage of the resumption of negotiations to push its case without necessarily being belligerent.

It is hoped, nevertheless, that government is learning some lessons from this impasse. Less than a decade ago, this country went through a grotesque ASUU-Federal Government dispute that resulted in six months of university closure and intermittent stoppages that affected the career of students. Such incidents always ended in due course as if nothing happened and yet the effect on our educational system has been incalculably disastrous.

Government should be careful not to be seen to be obstinately insensitive to a strategic sector such as education, for, what is at stake ultimately, is the future of Nigeria.

Ghana is getting everything wrong here. They don't even know the meaning of ECOWAS. The sooner they realize that selfish interests ends in futility, the better for them. Well, now we understand that these Ghanians are beginning to be so rude like the South Africans.

It hs been said times without number. How can a country start preparation only 3 months to a stiff competition and expect miracles to happen?. This is completely absurd. From my own perspective, no matter how good a coach is, this fire brigade approach would prove him futile.

The educational system of our once great nation is in chaos. Too bad, nobody is waiting for us to catch up.

Every time I visit Aba and Umuahia, I shed tears cos it generally portrays the neglect of her government. Imagine being in a society that is on the verge of anarchy, that is the reality of these cities.
I hail from Abiriba. My hometown has nothing to be proud of. The educational facilities are grossly inadequate and until recently, kidnapping and related vices were the order of the day. Lest I forget, the reputable V.C of ABSU is from my hometown as well as Commodore Ebitu Ukiwe.

This issue is nothing to laugh about. This route is just a stone throw away from contacting AIDS.

ASUU is just negotiating nothing more. Nobody should expect anything yet.

A good earning must be good enough for the earner to lend and not borrow. However, it takes discipline to make the most out of your resources and earnings.

Oracle:
Even the bible say s "Money answereth all things"

I still think there are things that can be done with money

Yeah, the bible also said money is the root of all evil.

Their problems don tire me. How can she enter bathroom and stay there as if she carry bed enter?. I also see them talk _gossip like forever with their friends before going out for shopping which is another issue. Sometimes i wonder if they are just being too selfish for my liking.

suffering and smiling.

I wish our boys the best. They should be of good cheer and reach for victory cos it is certainly ours if we prepare.

Ou own problem is not like recession. We've always had the same problems as we have now. In fact, this our problem no get name.

Go to Guinea for a firing squad .

small things add up to great fortune.
