. . . . . . .Nigeria but was captured in Saudi?

Seems all drama'a in Nigerian politics have a 'Saudi Element'.

Under who's juristiction is he being held? Who requested interpol intervene? The UK or Nigeria?

Surely he has more questions to answer in Nigeria than in the UK?

The lawyers in the UK will 'swallow' alot of money.

Better he is repatriated to Nigeria and the money and assets that have been frozen returned the the 'Niger Delta' people immediately.

IBB has pending criminal charges against his name.

He has been implicated in financial crimes against Nigeria. (As well as a few murders and drug trafficking)

Therefore until he has answered the charges and cleared his name he cannot be taken as a serious candidate.

The text below was reported as actual statements made by Ojukwu.
If it is true then this is a very disturbing development in Nigerian politics.

"AHEAD of 2011 general elections, the Ikemba Nnewi, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu on Saturday threw his weight behind General Ibrahim Babangida’s presidential ambition, saying the former military president should be given a second chance to rule the country.

Chief Ojukwu said he was convinced that General Babanginda had the required qualities that could take the country to greater heights, adding that the former military ruler remains a strong voice politically in the country.

The Ikemba who stated this when he received a delegation of Campaign Network for IBB (CNI) led by Chief Peter Dada Osadebay in his residence in Enugu, said Babangida remains his bosom friend."

IBB was the person who returned the properties seized from Ojukwu during the civil war back to him.

I understand why Ojukwu may feel indebted to IBB.

However 'Ndi Igbo' were never compensated for the massacres and loss of property that occured during the civil war.

Ojukwu should remember what he is meant to be about - representing Ndi Igbo.

Ndi Igbo backed him and  sacrifised more than him during the civil war.

Corruption has almost destroyed Nigeria.

So why vote for somebody known for corruption.

It does matter who becomes our next president - We really cant afford for another thief to rule Nigeria.

Everybody in the world knows IBB is a thief - Why give him the chance to steal many more billions from the people of Nigeria?

Exposed who?

Metal Gong - Your Papa is a G.A.Y b.a.s.t.a.r.d - Go and ask him!

It's well known that Ojukwu's health is failing. His mind is not what it was.

If he is responsible for such statements it will be taken as a sign of insanity.

He should immediately be carried to the nearest psychiatric hospital and be chained to a bed for the rest of his life.

The nurses should also 'gag his mouth' to prevent him from speaking.

He will still be remembered as a great man. However if he is allowed to continue to make such statements in public, the reputation he and his father have built over the last 100 years will be destroyed within months.

And 'Ndi Igbo' will be the ones that take responsibility for destroying his character and reputation.

Alternatively, he should go back into exile until after the elections.

Another demented young bastar-d ranting like a rabbies infested dog. . . .  It is really a pity.

Metal-Gong - Slowly withdraw your tongue from IBB's anus (arsehole), then go and wash your mouth out.

MKO dinned with Devils.

His family are hypocrites.

How much did the Abiola family steal from Nigeria through IBB,ITT,Etc.

They (Abiola family - including the b.a.s.t.a.r.d.s who claim to be Abiola's) can also go to hell.

Who are they now!

ABUJA—DEPUTY Speaker of the House of Representatives, Bayero Nafada, who is also Chairman of the ad-hoc Committee of the House of Representatives on Review of the 1999 Constitution, yesterday, said that the National Assembly would create 10 new states, with five from the North and five from the South, by next year.

Nafada also said Nigerians should expect an amended 1999 constitution with landmark modification, in May, 2010.

The Deputy Speaker, who was fielding questions from National Assembly reporters, however, said the electoral reform would not authorize Nigerians in the diaspora to vote in the forth-coming elections.


The House of Representatives had, Tuesday, amended 44 clauses of the 1999 constitution after the Senate had done same last March.


According to the Deputy Speaker, the two chambers of the National Assembly would form a joint-conference committee for the harmonization of amendments passed by each House.


He said: “Each chamber would pick about five each from its constitutional review committee to form the conference committee. That task cannot take more than two days.


Transmission of amended constitution


“After the harmonization, we would transmit the amended constitution to the 36 States’ Houses of Assembly of the Federation. Before now, we have been meeting with the leadership of the Speakers’ Conference of Nigeria and the seven governors representing the Governors Forum in the review of the constitution led by Governor Gabriel Suswam of Benue State.


“All of them have assured us that it would take only one day for the states to vote either to reject of endorse it. The States Houses of Assemblies are not to alter or add anything new to what the National Assembly had sent them.


“They are just expected to vote on it, and when we have two-third of the 36 states voting in favour of the amendments, we would then bring the amendments to the third reading at the Senate and the House of Reps.


“If the amendment passes third, it automatically becomes a law, and the amended constitution stands. This is the only law that does not require the assent of the President. It starts and stops here at the National Assembly.”


On the creation of new states, Nafada said the National Assembly had agreed that due to the strong agitation for more states, and considering the genuine fact of most of the demands, new states would be created before the end of the current assembly next year.


He said: “The creation of new states is not as rigorous as the amendment of the constitution. The Governors Forum and many powerful interest groups have been inundating us with these demands.


“There are suggestions that five new states should be created from the North and five from the North, and we are taking that suggestion very seriously. But others are asking that four be created for the North and four for the South, we are also studying it.”


He did not, however, gave any hint on which states the proposed ones would be carved out of, but noted, “there is no running from the fact that new states would be created next year.”


The deputy speaker told newsmen that the Review of the Electoral Act would kick-off next week, stressing: “We, as a committee, have since finished our work and have submitted to the House. But, by next week, we would commence debate and voting after the consideration of the report, just as we have done on the constitution.”


Asked if the new Electoral Act would empower the millions of Nigerians in the diaspora to vote in future elections, he said “No,” adding: “We have weighed the benefit and cost of the exercise and we all agreed that the cost was far above the benefit.


“Therefore, we are not going to change that clause in the electoral act to allow Nigerians abroad to vote. And I understand that the Chairman of the National Electoral Commission, INEC, is trying to carry out pilot voting for Nigerians in four countries. If he tries that, he would be doing so against the law, and he must be ready to bear the consequence.”

Moderators - Will you hurry up and shift this thread to the jokes section.

Thanks in advance,

I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned yet,

The UK government in conjunction with the EU have been running a programme called 'Decent Homes'.

Millions are spent yearly in the UK within each local government area upgrading these so called 'slum dwellings' at little or no expense to the occupiers/tenants.

These buildings from the UK appear run down from the outside. However you will find most of them have been updated internally with features including new bathrooms, kitchens, windows,doors, fire systems,intercoms,smoke alarms, etc.

So dont be fooled by the pictures of these so called slums. They are a million times better than the slums in Nigeria.

The programme is ultimately tax payer funded. However, would the Nigerian government provide such for its citizens? Never!

And one must question Nigerian building laws and enforcement particulary in Lagos.

Lagos State is beyond repair!!!

It's like anybody can erect any thing anywhere in Lagos and begin calling it a house/home.

Anyway, that's all from me on this matter.

Ibori must think he is 'Rambo'.

If those militants have any sense they should distance themselves from Ibori.

He will end up tarnishing their reputation.

Let them not get involved in his predicament and face their own political problems.

It only equally minded criminals that would sympathise with Ibori.

If he is so innocent let him go to the nearest police station with his lawyer and defend the allegations made against him.

He has cases outside Nigeria he must also answer in judiciary systems that wont allow him of the hook.

His days as a free man are numbered - Unless he can adopt his lifestyle to living among militants in the swamps of the Niger Delta.

Poster, Stop Panicking.

The seismic activity on the radar is down to the EFCC compiling cases and pursuing our politicians.

Expect and hope for an eruption very soon.

I learnt at a young age that fearing the inevitable (death) is a one of the many signs of insanity.

When it comes, it comes.

The entity forrmed called Nigeria is a Natural Disaster.

Re-inforcements will be called for,

I'm sure everybody is re-grouping.

Where are those brutal soldiers when you need them?

Estimate how long OBJ has left on this earth?

Then do the same for Jonathan?

Who would you rather have in your pocket?

If I recall, the death of Michael Jackson was reported to the press by paid informers working at the hospital he was carried to.

Similar thing with Nigerian journalism.
