Crime / Re: Ogun Police Confirm Arrest Of Blogger by Smartgunna: 6:14am On Sep 29, 2015
poiZon:

did u read the story at all?
The govt said the govr isnt involved in the arrest but the state govt, abeg who controls the state govt?
Also why send police to go arrest the poor blogger? Why not institute a case against him n sue him for defamation or somethng? This aint right esp now that we r in d era of freedom of speech.

First sensible thing I have read here today. Most comments here are naive, ignorant and just outright juvenile. No matter what anyone writes, he shouldn't be subjected to harassment of any sort. The simple concept of democracy allows everyone to have a say even the most dishonest one. The government has no rights under the constitution to arrest anyone for opinions aired or shared. Government can only sue. Slap a libel suit on the guy or defamation of character. Something so large that the guy will think twice before writing any rubbish again.
If we allow this new trend to persist, we are giving the government a free hand to even arrest and jail the guys with legitimate stories.

Is there anyone here who doesn't know that breakingtimes is a PDP propaganda machine?

Shameful party never learnt the proper lesson why GEJ lost. They still think it is because of online blogs. So now we have the likes of breakingtimes, newsrescue and savinggracereporters spreading their usual stories.

Tell us again how every crook in Nigeria was on Buhari's appointment list. Smh

Stupidity has built a mansion in your brain. What is good for the geese should be good for the gander too. You're quick to vilify PDP but when open bare faced corruption stares u in the face, your brain goes comatose. Maybe you should send the boy a letter of commendation since you have nothing to say about his disgusting/pornographic display of ill gotten wealth.

Health / Re: Charles Oben: GSK Drug Turned A Healthy Banker Into A Monster by Smartgunna: 12:23pm On Sep 11, 2015
persius555:
My thought too. The drug was an experimental drug and they went ahead to test it on humans in africa. GSK must pay nothing less than 50 million pounds for the crime against humanity they have perpetuated against this innocent soul. As from now on, i stay away from GSK manufactured drugs. I dont want to be another man's lab rat. Nigerian govt should take this up.

Nothing experimental about zyloric. It's been in use for years. FDA certified. It is used to treat gout. Which is a very painful debilitating ailment. Allopurinol (zyloric) has helped patients deal with the symptoms of gout for years. The drug has been a life Davey for a lot of people. It's unfortunate that he reacted this way to the drug. They cannot win a case against GSK because it is clearly stated that SJS MAY occur in the adverse drug reaction section....but they may have a case against the doctor/hospital for not adequately probing.

MANDELA TO NIGERIA...
“YOU know I am not very happy with Nigeria. I have made that very clear on many occasions. Yes, Nigeria stood by us more than any nation, but you let yourselves down, and Africa and the black race very badly. Your leaders have no respect for their people. They believe that their personal interests are the interests of the people. They take people’s resources and turn it into personal wealth. There is a level of poverty in Nigeria that should be unacceptable. I cannot understand why Nigerians are not more angry than they are.
“What do young Nigerians think about your leaders and their country and Africa? Do you teach them history? Do you have lessons on how your past leaders stood by us and gave us large amounts of money? You know I hear from Angolans and Mozambicans and Zimbabweans how your people opened their hearts and their homes to them. I was in prison then, but we know how your leaders punished western companies who supported Apartheid.
“What about the corruption and the crimes? Your elections are like wars. Now we hear that you cannot be president in Nigeria unless you are Muslim or Christian. Some people tell me your country may break up. Please don’t let it happen.
“Let me tell you what I think you need to do. You should encourage leaders to emerge who will not confuse public office with sources of making personal wealth. Corrupt people do not make good leaders. Then you have to spend a lot of your resources for education.
“Educate children of the poor, so that they can get out of poverty. Poverty does not breed confidence. Only confident people can bring changes. Poor, uneducated people can also bring change, but it will be hijacked by the educated and the wealthy...give young Nigerians good education. Teach them the value of hard work and sacrifice, and discourage them from crimes which are destroying your image as a good people.”

Politics / Re: Probe Jonathan, Be Fair, PDP Tells Buhari by Smartgunna: 9:18am On Jul 20, 2015
anyone against the probe of the immediate past Govt is not fair to Nigeria. If the President says he met an empty treasury, it's appropriate to find out how the money accruing to Nigeria was spent and whose pockets was lined.
but what I find hard to understand is why people on this thread do not see the need to probe other governments that came before Jonathan's. is that not what we have been praying for? Did Nigeria become this bad in just six years?
My submission is: probe Jonathan. Probe halliburton case, revisit ndudi elumelu power scandal, revisit 12billion gulf war windfall scandal and a whole lot more. Failure to do this give a section of the country the impression that they are the low hanging fruit, easy to be picked out.

Anyone who believes Boko Haram can be defeated by the barrel of a gun is an ostrich. If you kill 10 of them, 20 more are waiting to take over the baton. Until these people understand that there are no virgins and rivers of wine waiting for them in Alijana, we are just wasting time. How many can we kill? The war can only be won in the mosques and schools. An ideological counter insurgency is what we need. It will be a long drawn out war. It will take years before rooting it out. Politicizing it like the ruling party did in the last elections won't help matters.

Travel / Re: Arik Air Suspending Operations Due To Fuel Scarcity by Smartgunna: 3:53pm On May 02, 2015
Arik air should tell us the true reasons they are suspend ing flights to Dubai and spare us this roulette. The truth is that they can't continue flying that route because it is not economically viable for them. A situation where you fly only 10-15 passengers in an Airbus 380 to Dubai was never tenable. it doesn't even cover the cost of taking care of the crew. Why did they leave the lucrative routes untouched?

Politics / Re: Real Reason Buhari Barred AIT by Smartgunna: 8:18am On Apr 28, 2015
Does this give a hint as to the path the General is towing as regards press freedom? I pray not. Supporting this move is really myopic. People are failing to see the larger picture. Yes, AIT outrightly said some despicable and stupid things ,but didn't TVC do the same? Slap a libel suit on them..don't bar or ban them. Yes, he is within his rights to bar them but this sends wrong signals about GMBs temperament. Can he take criticisms cos as president of Nigeria he will be criticized. Come May 29. Goodluck s baggage, becomes his.
Has anyone heard about Fox news in the US. They so hate Obama and spew rubbish against him. Guess what, he grants interviews to them sometimes.

Ola on April 15, 2015 at 4:25 am
I just read this. http://www.punchng.com/news/ill-restore-military-ties-with-us-buhari/
Could somebody please read into this and inteprete it?
In my huble opinion, this is not the time for a government to kowtow to the US. Govt should speedily focus on speedily modernising and reorganizing the army, development of domestic technological platforms that are of military importance, see to the acquisition of state of the equipment and complimentary technology transfer to all arms of the military and lastly, make the military grow to at a faster projection than our economy. Largest economy on the continent should feature the strongest and one of the best armies on the continent and in the world. In my humble opinion again, US should not play a frontal role in this. There is no nation in the world that has been able to develop her domestic military industry by relying on the US. Even Japan and South Korea have had to restrategise in recent times because of the rising threat from China while their romance with their US ally has left them backward. US is only interested in selling their weapons to you, if they like you. They will NEVER help your domestic development militarily. Meanwhile, the day you offend them, they ground your entire army with embargo on spares!
Even our dear MoD in the UK is slowly realising dependency on the US only


keeps you back and we would see the UK military slowly reducing it’s dependence on the US and NATO and re-awakening their domestic military industries in the next decade. I hope Buhari will not sell out Nigeria as a “thank you” to those who helped to bully and blackmail Jonathan out of office. Please note that I don’t have any political affiliations and I honestly don’t care who wins in an election, so long as the person moves Nigeria forward and does the needful!

Politics / Re: Buhari May Find It Hard To Change Nigeria by Smartgunna: 1:54pm On Apr 05, 2015
Nobody said it was ever going to be easy to change the country after 54 years of gross mismanagement by successive administrations. It won't be shocking if oil prices go below 35USD PB this year due to the fact that there will soon be a glut once sanctions on Iran are lifted and they are allowed to pump crude into the market.
It will get worse before it becomes better. Buhari must be courageous and downsize our overbloated civil service cut excesses, address contract inflation etc. He should remember Nigerians put him there, not vested interests and political godfathers.Where there is a will, there is a way

The comments on this thread shows this country is a big train wreck. Nobody sees things objectively anymore. Its all gone parochially tribal. Why on earth would people come here to justify the actions of Madam minister rather than see it for what it really is: brazen corruption. At this rate anything these people do is justifiable to most nairalanders simply because the person hails from my own part of the country. The Rwanda experience means nothing to most of us.
If buying 2 armored vehicles in an uncertain economic climate(where most sane countries are embarking on cost cutting measures) isnt a clear case of economic waste and official corruption...then I will never know the meaning of the word.

- He fulfils at least 50% of his election promises and give plausible reasons why he couldnt fulfil the rest
- A candidate from any part of the country fails to convince me he has better programmes that will benefit me and my kids.

Considering the overwhelming support and crowd he pulled in Kano on his arrival, its a solid strategy by the President to gain acceptance amongst Northerners notwithstanding the number of innocent lives he took and families bearing the grunt.

It is all POLITICS!

To insinuate that those erudite scholars and gentlemen of the bar can perennially be influenced is insulting to the Appeal court. This is the appeal court bro. They deal with hard evidence and not folktales. Yes we all know that Mustafa had a hand in Kudi's murder but if it cannot be substantiated with hard evidence, then it remains just stories.
