CFCfan: But there is no issue of blood.

CFCfan: Here are more details on the President's visit:

CFCfan: Fair enough. Obama may likely do a 'Clinton' i.e he may visit Nigeria about 5 months to the end of his tenure.

Rossikk: It's really not about putting down anyone. Not sure where you're going with that 'political, geo-political' stuff. Obama came to Africa with a clear message of renewed ECONOMIC engagement with the continent. He then somehow contrives to avoid visiting its most populous nation and most promising economic powerhouse to conduct proper business that would reverberate across the continent, only to go wandering around in some slave dungeon or slave castle in Senegal, posing for US cameras with his wife.

No wonder Jonathan's off to China.

CFCfan: The short answer is that Senegal doesn't have the same economic potentials as Nigeria.

Rossikk: lol... I can imagine the industry captains that accompanied Obama on his trip, saying to themselves, ''What the hell are we doing in Senegal?''

Prof Corruption: You see, nothing in itself is bad or good in life. Everything is relative and context justifies everything. let me explain: if you as an individual kill your fellow citizen, it's frown upon as murder. But when a policeman kills a condemned armed robber, it's called what? perfectly normal. That means murder in itself is not a bad thing but the context provides the label of good or bad. That's why you have homicide, real murder etc. Context matters in everything in life. And to paraphrase Achebe, where one thing stands, another thing would stand beside it.There's a narrative behind what is happening in Egypt that clearly vindicates the military intervention.

[b]You are wrong.

Democracy is government of the people by the people and for the people. When someone deviates from campaign promises and starts pandering to the wishes of a cabal, he/she has lost the mandate given to him/her. Democracy needs to be tailored to the environment it is being practiched. That is the essence of critical thinking(thinking outside the box) in colleges instead of cramming texts and vomiting same without critical analysis of the content.

It is idiotic to wait a full term of madness to change non-performing leadership. No time lost is ever gained back.
Egyptians took the bull by the horn. I applaud the military for the matured way they handled the situation.

OBJ did terribly bad.. we waited for a full 8 yrs. GEJ is now dancing naked and we will wait another 8 years. That will be 16 years down the drain while we await for Messiah to levitate down from heaven to solve our problems.

Do you wonder why most nations are hostile to Nigerians? Because when countries are bad, the citizens fight the power (kudos Syria, Egypt, Libya). The eventual outcome might not be well, but they stared the dictator in the face and fought like the heroes that they are. But in Nigeria, the citizens are scouting for any country where the citizens have finished fighting with their blood to migrate there and start living a good life.

When I think of Nigerians, I remember the adage that says, "People will choose UNHAPPINESS over UNCERTAINTY--Timothy Ferriss"[/b]

Vanneni: Jes thank your God that she didn't quote the super long ones jes to put only one smiley .

Symphony007: one has no time for dull simpletons.

Jodesky: Sweetcheecks
I am soo sad. I think this is it!


NONSENSE!
Do you have to quote the entire story just to express your sadness? Have you ever been happy?

Symphony007: This man is on life support. The south african government is practically forcing him to live because he gives the country a kind of international relevance...just put off the machine and let the man rest in peace, if he is so loved and south africa want to preserve his star power. They should'nt burry him, they should balm his body and display it in a glass case like lenin and the kims of north korea..just according to one of his friends."let him go and rest".

Lakayanah: I pray that God should soothe your aches and pains. And I also pray when it's time you should not suffer but sleep away peacefully into the great beyond. Hmmm live as sweet as you are no-one leaves this live alive.

fingard02k: Nelson Mandela, who is still in hospital, has taken a turn for the worse and is now in critical condition, South African President Jacob Zuma said Sunday.

A statement posted on the presidential website Sunday said Zuma and Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa visited Mandela Sunday evening in hospital.

They were briefed by the medical team who informed them that Mandela’s condition had become critical over the past 24 hours.

“The doctors are doing everything possible to get his condition to improve,” said Zuma, adding that Mandela is being well-cared for and is comfortable.

They also met with Mandela’s wife Graca Machel in hospital.

Zuma has appealed to the nation and the world to pray for Mandela, his family and the medical team that is attending to him.

Mandela was taken to a hospital in Pretoria on June 8 to be treated for a recurring lung infection.
