In the last couple of months I have been considering the possibilities of sending a container load of red wines to Nigeria because of the festive



period but do not know if it is a marketable product.


More also, Do I need to register with Nafdac before I would be allowed to bring it in.


Your suggestions and advice would be appreciated.

Well one thing is sure- GEJ is remaining in Aso rock come May 29. I'll suggest you look for solutions to the problems facing Nigeria cos the arguments

won't change anything.

owasoyo:
All of una na hyprocrite, can u put down your religion and ethnicity mentality in your pocket and let us move on as a country, if u knw u want someone from your religion or tribe to bcome d president, then let him b your tribe or religion president, Buhari for Northern president and jonathan for southern president, or wht do u feel, I can see dt we are nt dsame, we dont share same ideology.so d best 4 us is to part,if u can b alone den go,if we cant leave 2geda as one, or whts una problem self, abeg make all of una go rest,

Where exactly do you stand?

Ozin:
U dont need to use such words as GET A LIFE.Why cant you follow simple rules in a debate,shows why u can not use a computer as a graduate.Even if GEJ brings Heaven here into Nigeria,your type with sentiments,tribal and cynicsm wont see it.

From his response you can tell his one of those artistically illiterate ones who think it's all about going to school to get a certificate.

Evil Brain:
Not an achievement. You might as well give him an award because Aso Villa hasn't burned down during his reign.
This is due to agreements that were signed long before GEJ became president. Also, this has little or no effect on the lives of average Nigerians.
Nigeria has 2 major international airports: Lagos and Abuja. The others were barely functional before and are barely functional now.
Throwing taxpayer's money at failing businesses is not an achievement. By next tomorrow, the money will have finished and its back to square one. What has he done to address the fundamental economic problems that caused the companies to close? You need to go and dig out your secondary school economics textbooks.
Universities that exist only on paper. Do you actually believe the promises of a PDP politician? Have you already forgotten about the 10,000 Megawatts? Besides, Nigeria has more than enough universities. What has he done to fix the ones we have already. I suspect that the new schools are more about fooling gullible voters and creating contracts for his PDP friends.
Sorry, but you can't convince anybody with this flimsy nonsense. Maybe you should talk about the amazing improvement in electricity supply, or the sharp fall in maternal and infant mortality. Or the fact that he has locked up all the corrupt politicians. Or the increased peace and security all over the country.

Except that you can't because Jonathan hasn't achieved anything in any of the areas that Nigerians actually care about.

As an analyst I presume you to be,  and a graduate who has passed through the for walls of a university, please proffer a feasible solution to any

of the problems you were quick to identify.


It is one thing to know that there is a problem, another is to solve it.

Hodaya:
Get a life mate. Do you call all these achievements?

It's a shame, an average University graduate isn't literate enough to operate a computer system and yet GEJ intends to create more of such schools. Talk about a so called scholar not sound enough to identify possible solutions to our existing problems. Me think a junior secondary school should be have all needed skills to operate a PC.

Whose fault is it? Is it that they were never made available,  or they were provided and some hooligans("future leaders" amongst them destroyed them instead of taking advantage of the opportunity given to them. I want us to get to the grassroots of all these problems you are listing.

I want to know who amongst all you critics presented a well outlined proposal addressing a particular issue/problem in Nigeria, with solutions to the problems and it was ignored.

Some Achievements of GEJ include:

no fuel scarcity

four airlines (Arik, Continental, Delta and United), with direct flights from the United States (US)

five functional international airports.

the reopening of three textile mills in Kaduna that had previously been closed including the United Nigeria Textile Mills Ltd.; which has reopened as a result of accessing funds from the N200 billion textile industry bail out funds leading to the re engagement of 2000 workers that were laid off when the company went out of business.

addition of one new Federal University in each of the six geo-politcal zones for which work has already begun. The six new federal universities did not exist last year

etc,

Hodaya:
Buhari's political agenda is almost unquestionable, same as his party CPC. Unfortunately same can't be said of ACN and PDP with the later been the worse.

We want results not stories. That is what GEJ stands for.

Unfortunately GEJ has no achievements but he is a specialist in propping up corrupt individuals infact PHD holder  

Don't be a law breaker.


The rule is[b] "Kindly abstain from discussing the negatives of any of the candidates. Let's just discuss their past records and achievements and how they have touched the lives of the average Nigerian."[/b]

I came abroad for masters to upgrade my qualifications, I am almost rounding up without being able to secure a job. What's on my mind is NAIJA! no going

back on this decision except GOD makes me to do so.


I believe GOD will work it out for me down in Naija. That is my earnest and sincere prayer

Arranged marriage has been modified in that , these days parents recommend, give them time to know themselves, before the parents finally get


involved in the matrimony.


By that, the risks of separation or divorce is eliminated or reduced.

Genius100:
CRYBABY. Why don't you counter it instead of crying to the moderator. I'm sure even the moderator sees the hollow emptiness in your posts.

Jarus, may I also ask you to delete all of Kobojunkie's post on this thread for being devoid of common sense.

Genius100:
How can someone supposedly with a functioning brain post such nonsense? When OBJ was about to be president, everybody called him a stooge. At the end of the day, he was nobody's stooge. When Yar'adua was about to be president, they called him OBJ's stooge. He got there and quickly reversed a lot of the gains made under the OBJ admistration possibly in an effort to be seen as independent. He obviously was no stooge to OBJ during his short tenure. Armed with these facts, I will ask you to kindly STFU and engage your brain in posting something constructive and possibly, remotely intelligent.

Genius100:
Please keep quiet if you have nothing tangible to say. If we are to have a sensible debate, it must be based on facts. Any i-diot can make up stories that support their point? Can you present any evidence as to how Ribadu turned a blind eye to corrupt people? Can you present evidence to back up your nonsensical claims that he did not prosecute those in OBJ's pocket. Afolabi, who was arrested for the National ID scheme was VERY CLOSE to OBJ, Ribadu arrested the man and he actually died in prison while being prosecuted. Clowns like you just like to mouth off. Do you think you just charge people to court without having evidence. Do you think people shouting that someone is corrupt constitute an acceptable proof in the court of law?



You are obviously a naive clown. Do you think one can become president by mouthing off on Nairaland. Ribadu is no longer the EFCC chairman and he is free to associate with whoever will make his goal of becoming President a reality. Please present evidence to back up your claims on Ribadu or kindly STFU. Thanks

PLEASE control your emotions. Try and make your arguments healthy enough.

marvix:
Nigerians would make the mistake of 1985 if we allow Ribadu without experience to lead this nation.

Despots have always been made out of idealists, Ribadu is just another despot waiting to happen in Africa, if we are to look closely at his tenure at EFCC it would show the symptoms despots are known to have.

Despots believe that they are always right, they believe that they can do all by themselves, they set up organisations and institutions that rely so much on their personality hence they fear that if they leave the institution that the dreams they have for the organisation would not be achieved.

They feel they can justifiably flout court orders because the Judge may have been bribed or his unfair.

Despots are young men with a very impatient passion of their country, they love their countries but dont realise when they are destroying it.

Robert Mugabe was a leading light in the days of the fight of independence but today can we look at him as a hero anymore, Babangida was younger than Ribadu is now when he Babangida became military head of state.

If anyone says PDP has made our lives miserable in the last 12yrs, I agree, but then I ask one question did our problems start 12 years ago, is the PDP of today the same PDP of 1999,2003 or even the 2007.

The PDP has tried within itself, some of the bad eggs have been frustrated out, Obj is been frustrated, Igbinedion is no more a member of PDP he supports ACN in secret, that is the man who made Edo a confirmed ancient city, can Ibori still determine who gets what in the PDP, where is Odili in the scheme of things in the PDP, where is IBB in PDP just a floor member at least we know that he is an opposing camp to the presidential candidate of the party.

Nothing good comes easily, nothing achieved quickly lasts, Ribadu does not deserve to be president just because of his achievements in EFCC, if that was enough then what office would I ask Sanusi Lamido to go for after his achievements in the CBN, even Sanusi was able to recommend Ibru to court and get a conviction.

Nigerians dont need people who want to personalise office, Goodluck has never personalised his office either as president, vicepresident, governor or even deputy governor, he has always been known to consult and played roles as a member of a team.

If Goodluck could play the politics that delivered him the PDP presidential candidate without killing his party, it tells a lot of a man who would get what he wants without destroying the house.

Goodluck and Ribadu are men both made by Obasanjo, they are two sides to the same coin when it comes to Godfatherism, would anyone have heard of Ribadu today if not for Obj, so please the Obj angle should not be an issue because both men respect him because he brought them to where they are today.

Ribadu is a good man with good intentions but even with good intentions he needs to learn how to preach his message in the political arena, we need to expand our political space, this would be better achieved with a Ribadu in the senate, we narrow our political space when all our best hands want to take the presidency at the same time, it leaves the space for charlatans to take over offices we consider less important but they are critically important, this is evident in the last dispensation, when all the bright minds all wanted to be president in 2007 like there would never be another opportunity after that election, the Dukes and Utomis were running for President while complete idiots like Omisiore and Maeba where quietly stealing seats in the National Assembly.

I know the best man will win and the best man in a political contest is not the man with the biggest dream it is the man with the biggest appeal, it is not the man with eloquent speeches but a man who is understood, it is not a oneman mafia but the man with the mafian support.

I support Goodluck Ebele Jonathan today as I had supported Yaradua when he became president because I can see in them genuine effort to solve the problems of this country within the ambit of the laws that bind us, Yaradua would never do anything with fiat, he ensures that he gets all necessary approvals, Yaradua never exhibited absolute power, just like GEJ is known never to do but can we say same of Ribadu.

GEJ has not disobeyed any court order can we say the same of Ribadu?

The youths should not be deceived, Ribadu is not more youth than Jonathan is, if Generational shift is what we want, we can get that with Jonathan he is only 4 years older than Ribadu hence they fall within the same generation, if we want to leave their generation maybe I should offer my 32 year old self as president of the federal republic of Nigeria.

Well said.
