Car TalkRe: 4-cylinder Engine Vs 6-cylinder Engine by sweet9ja: 10:28pm On May 17, 2011
If you are buying a new car, then you may want to know that most 4 cylinder engines of today, with the help of high presure turbo, deliver thesame (if not more) power as their 6 cylinder counterpart. Whatmore, performance is high, better fuel economy and very importantly, emission is by far lower.
BusinessRe: Refinery, Not Solution To Nigeria’s Oil Problem – Imf by sweet9ja: 9:46pm On May 14, 2011
Let's face it, USD 350m/month on fuel subsidy is unsustainable in the long run.

Here in Europe, a liter of petrol cost as much as EUR 1.74, about 60% of that sum is tax.

Meanwhile, car owners still have to pay road tax, which goes from a couple of hundred to thousands euro, depending on the country.

Moreover, the public transportation is not any cheaper, a bus ride of less than km cost as much as EUR 2.00 in sum countries.

However, most people in Europe still earn less than EUR1500.00/month.

If Nigerians are really serious about, developing infrastructure, they have to be ready to pay for it, good things don't come cheap.

@ all, who are these "men of God" anyway. Who made them "men of God".

Nigerians should better go back to their roots, back to our ancestorial believes.

Stop these nonsense; this Christian/muslim thing.

We are Africans and not Arabs or Europeans.

We are brothers and sisters, we are one. Religion will only continue to divide us.

Sagamite:
Abi!

Some are defending him that he might not have known, that it was a cabal.

This is a man that knows the process and the law about the President not being available (pass the role to VP).

FACT 1: He knew his ailment was serious and he might not survive, yet he left the country and refused to pass over to the VP.

FACT 2: It is on record he had gone abroad before for treatment and still did not hand over to VP, so it was not the first time.

FACT 3: After he had not been heard of for weeks, he went on the phone to speak to BBC. So he must have known how sick he was by then and STILL refused to hand over temporarily to VP.

Pure facts.

That did not only make the country look like a Banana Republic but would have wiped loads of economic progress as investors pull out or avoid the country, and the stock market is also affected, hence more misery for the people as poor economic activities means increased poverty.

The people dying of simple ailments everyday whilst our criminals fly to California for their headaches or cancer as the case of the Ashawo of Minna. Some even at the public expenses like the ex-Governor from the North that had a car accident. If you are poor and have a car accident or cancer, it is bye bye to this Earth and your family, and they will tell them it is the "destiny" Allah set for you.

The people struggling everyday in frustration looking for jobs and struggling to raise their family. It is the "destiny" Allah set for you.

The people who are having their kids future wasted as our education system is under-funded and collapsed. It is the "destiny" Allah set for you.

I still have not even mentioned his complicity with the reetard called Ibori.

Fck Yaradua!!! May he rot in hell. He is a cretin!
Nigerians often complain about bad and corrupt leadership, yet when it come to holding these looters responsible for their actions while in power, they end up making excuses for them. Sometimes even willing to kill or be killed for them.
These looter are worse than the common thief and armed robbers we so hate.
To me a man who used his office to shield criminals from prosecution, knowingly disobey the law of the land which he, by theway, swore on the Holy Quran to uphold, nearly plunged Nigeria into another round of needless political and, therefore, economic crisis,
To me such a man does not deserve any "rest".

Use your heads folks and you'll see how quickly we'll be out of the woods and start climbing the ladder of development.[i][/i][size=8pt][/size]

@ Kabikala, thanks for saying the truth.

@ Sagamite, according to them, progress is unAfrican.

Any the late president found himself in a situation way beyond his control.

I hope we learn from this lesson.

With this piece of info, Buhari and his fellow terrorist must now be held responsible for the terror unleached on fellow Nigerians.
Buhari from the onset was not out to win, cos' he knew GEJ was unbeatable, all he wanted was to create enough confusion to make the country ungovernable for GEJ. Well, he has failed woefully and guess what, no Hausa/Fulani will govern Nigeria in forseeable future.

One thing though, is that no Hausa/Fulani politician will be elected president in the near future, you've just succeeded in making yourselves politically irrelevant.

AutosRe: Policy Reversal: Used Vehicle Importation Rises By 30% ! by sweet9ja: 10:48pm On Mar 15, 2011
What wrong about importing used cars? In the true sence of it there should be no age limit on car imported into the country, what government should do is to set up technical inspection stations where, cars imported are inspected for road worthiness before there are allowed onto public roads. In western Europe where I live, most people don't buy new cars, simply because they cannot afford them.
Like someone said earlier, even if they completely banned, they will still find their way into the country and Nigeria will be loosing billions of naira in tax revenue. Mr. Jonathan knows this and it's a smart move on his part. I say; Let the policy stay.

[/quote][quote author=agabaI23 link=topic=615293.msg7844950#msg7844950 date=1299242618]You are being very reasonable here. The catch is that a man of his standing is doing such a thing. It is just like a Rev. father in his cassock defacing Buhari's campaign posters.

What he did has religious colouration. Two much religion in our politics which is a very negative point for anyone candidate whose appeal is due to his religious leaning.



Having said that, I think taking him to Abuja is like killing a mosquito with a machine gun. A caution by the police would have sufficed.
I expect Buhari to caution the Imams and I expect GEJ to release the guy ASAP
I agree with you, taking to Abuja may be too much but, there may be more to it.

Guys, let be serious. My question is why should an iman, a pastor, a reverend or a babalawo go out to deface a campaign posters, given the frequent reports of bombing in the country? I believe the police have every right to arrest and investigate his motives.
GEJ or not this man may be involved in more than just defacing campaign posters.
Nairaland GeneralDeadly Explosion At Rally Near Abuja by sweet9ja(op): 5:50pm On Mar 03, 2011
3 March 2011 Last updated at 16:13 GMT Share this pageFacebookTwitter ShareEmail Print Nigeria: Deadly explosion at rally near Abuja

There has been an explosion at a political meeting near the Nigerian capital Abuja, killing several people, police say.

The blast happened during a rally in Suleja, about 40km (24 miles) from Abuja, officials say.

The cause of the blast is not yet known and police are investigating. National elections are due in April.

Central Nigeria has seen a recent upsurge in violence between rival ethnic, religious and political groups.

Reports on the death toll from Thursday's blast vary, with some saying three people died and others up to six.

At least 21 people were wounded, AFP news agency reported, citing police.

Civil defence official Emmanuel Ekeh told AP news agency that the blast was caused by a bomb at a political rally for Nigeria's governing party, the People's Democratic Party (PDP). However, this could not be confirmed.

The PDP - led by President Goodluck Jonathan - has won every presidential election since Nigeria returned to civilian rule in 1999 and is favourite to win April's poll.

Some nairalanders are such very funny psycophants,they must disbelieve because the statement is not coming from their principals,the man said nobody should rig for him,here you all are,yannig puah and corrosive opata about him not being sincere with what he said that he doesn't mean it.
Hmmm,if he had said people should rig for him,would you all have come out to say he doesn't mean ithuh
I wonder, but, I have the feeling that these guys know that their prefared candidates/party are not doing well and that GEJ will win big, hence the negetive campaign. I'm not a PDP supporter, but I must admit that it's the only party that has the organisation necessary to fight a national election. ACN/CPC blew the opportunity to give PDP a real fight when they fail to merge. However, these negetive campaigning will further erode their popularity, Nigerians are no fools.

@monkeyleg, you are just pretending to be objective, but from your post I can see that you're bitter dat GEJ won the ticket.
Furthermore, you're also pretending to live in the UK and claiming to know the working of the whiteman's democracy.
We know our system is full of flaws, but the conduct of the last PDP prez primaries was surely a step in the right direction.
Don't always believe what those western press tell you, these guys are not always fair in their reporting of Africa.

Sarah Jubril is a brave lady by any standard, because running for president of Nigeria is not for the fainthearted, but she should do her homework very well next time.
