I love this move by ameachi. Enough of this igbos called ikwerres who claim to be riverines running rivers state. It is time for the real riverines like the bonny,kalabari,andoni;abua;etc...to take control of their state. I do not know how it will be made possible but by ameachi just aknowledging it, is a great step.

The UN is the highest non-state actor in international relations and Kofi Annan got the highest appointment there,so stop displaying your ignorance here.if that fat thing was good enough for the job,it won't have caused Obama anything to nominate her !


P.S

I don't argue with women so biitches can stop quoting me please !

you are the one displaying amazing ignorance and idiocy...tell me if koffi annan ever opposed the u.s in all it's dealings. Ranging from the illegal iraq war to afganistan. Koffi annan was a puppet for the u.s and that is why he had no problem being there. And mind who you call a "fat thing"...stupid plonker.

Guess she just woke up from an eternal slumber..Is this not what she and her colleages should use their fame for? To draw attention to how the country is being run rather they feature in all the political ads and government feel good propagander;

Dagoma: A beg just wish her happy birthday and stop this psycophancy.

hey respect yourself, mind your buisness and only quote me when you have sensible things to say!!

That same intimidating resmue that left her stranded and Kim an anthropologist got the world bank job ?

please be civil!!! everybody knows the world bank job is a political appiontment by the western nations headed by the u.s and they will never give it to an africa or someone they cannot control! By the way. mrs iweala was endorsed by the BRICS for that job. So that is a testament to hercapabilities and competency.

it is incredibly stupid that the federal republic of nigeria spends billions sponsoring muslim and christain pilgrimages while nigeria is 50 out of 54 african countries in accesible healthcare for it's citizens. It is shamefull and exastubate how tone deaf our government is. How is pilgrimages helping this nation?

ShyM-X:
Interesting stuff.




^^^^^Damn! Ghana is moving at a very fast pace. They're building three new cities. That's impressive.

I think Nigeria needs to take a cue from that.

nigeria has an already built city called abuja, which is amazing, and their are others being built like the eko atlantic, greater port harcourt city,etc....so we do not need to take a cue from anyone.

a happy birthday to the woman with one of the most intimidating resume i have ever seen. The best finance minister ever and one of the most respected nigerians globally. A nigerian who presided over a branch of the world bank and no single penny went missing....lol..happy birthday ma'am!!

I quite agree with this british politician: all these fawing over mandela is nauseating,, he should just die already! Overhyped old man!!

bootlegaz: Fashola is ahead of his peers when it comes to inovation. I doubt Nigeria is safety ready for vehicles or buses that are powered by LNG. With the high volume of road accident, the second hand death rate will be overwhelming if there is an explosion caused by accident.

that is where innovation comes in: these buses are very sorphisticated and with the buses running their own lanes just as the BRT. the chances of an accident are greatly diminished; in as much as i'm pround of some happenings in nigeria, they are baby steps. When nigeria takes one step, nigerians cheer while other countries are running. How do we catch up?

I'm sick of all the fawning over abiola, what was his achievements except winning an election that he is so idolized..yoruba are just exastubating an inrelevance which is quite hypocritical as they are busy declaring frivolous public holidays but when the president named a major western university after their so called "HERO". All hell broke loose! June 12 my ass!!

Nigeria is not matured enough for a two party system; we will just be monopolizing corruption and theft between two gangs; this country needs an open field where everyone with a vision can compete: also nigerians need to open their eyes and stamp out these PDP and APC. We need new independent minds not recycling thiefs! After all the RUNAROUND: nigeria deserves a TURNAROUND!!

Myopism will kill this country! While in L.A, i realise their city buses run on natural gas and these makes the buses more energy efficent and ensures a life span of over 30 years. Meanwhile here in nigeria we flare gas and buy fuel and diesel consuming BRT buses than pollute the environment and pack up within a year or two: it's so sad how much vision is missing in every nigerian leader!!

I love this. Nigerians have to learn that there are alternative means of sending forth someone than the space wasting burial. I know of a man who died and in his will he asked that his body be cremated and scarttered around his house which he loved so much; that sounds so beautifull: matured and simple!

chidindufrank: What is Lagos state waiting for to declare June 12 public holiday?

lagos is the commercial nerve center of the federal republic of nigeria and cannot afford money wasting: time wasting frevolities like a holiday on june 12th;

A state Where 80% of the workforce are civil servants and there is minimal economic activity. They can affors such frevolous luxuries.

pokur: Does the National Assembly veto bills or override Presidential vetoes?.What manner of people we call journalists these days.

go study the constitution, a 2/3 majority of the national assembly can overule a presidential veto; even in the united states.

This should have been done decades ago. The president should every year come before a joint session of the national assembly.the justices of the supreme court: the military chiefs: his cabinet and indeed the people of nigeria to account for his work so far; that is true democracy and accountability. So that the opposituon can fact check you. Not spending tax payers money on a self praise and worship concert at the international conference center in the name of accountability or mid term report;

50calibre: Very funny! Only in Nigeria you see house of assembly vetoing a presidential bill

in every democracy and especially our federal system as copied from the united states: if the president refuses to assent a bill: a 2/3 majority can overule his veto and pass the law;

I watched the PDP farmily forum and saw the speech of the chairman of africa's largest party and i cried a river. Someone should check out that speech and you'll disgusted and embarrased to your bone marrows

APC are thiefs, PDP are armned robbers! Shun these stupid fools in the corridors of power who have put their boot on the troats of the nigerian people for 14 years and vote for luminated and visionary men like pat utomi and ben bruce to bring nigeria into the 21 century.

I actually follow this guy on twitter and i must say it has been a most amusing and disappionting experience. He is so submerged in conspirarcy theories like how obama is the head of illuminati and is establishing a new world order...he is so delusional that i am no longer surprised that under his watch as aviation minister, nigeria had it's most plane crashes.

omodapson: The Stallion Plaza in lagos currently holds that title.

wrong. It is the nitel building in marina.

I heard the testimony of a woman who had one of this so called "hell experiences"...she said she saw queen elizabeth ii, george w. Bush and pope benedict roasting in hell, one small problem, all those people are still alive!! Hilarious!!

There is something rather stupid and audacious of christainity to condemn everyother religion,tradition and belief and say if you don't follow us, you're doomed forever. Rubbish!!!

So if someone lives a good life of grace and kindness but does not accept jesus, he goes to hell but if i live a life of crime,fun and wickedness then accept jesus on my death bed, i make and enjoy heaven. Despeakable!!!

gunuvi: The Nigeria high commission in Spain should follow this case to conclusion and that bas.tard be hanged for the murder of the innocent lady.
To the holier than thou people that will ignore the murder offence and blame the young woman, pls note that prostitution is a profession and prostitutes are human too not to forget that its the oldest profession on earth.
RIP Ada

spain is not a member of the commonwealth so our mission there is an embassy; not a high commission;

I don't know why i'm laughing so hard at such a tragic story. Anyways, this is utterly disgusting and the nigerian embassy should follow up this case. Our citizens are not punching bags for kung fun masters;

I can imagine what a glamourous and opulent life they are living, while the nigerian proles suffer!

By NLNG: do you guys mean the nigerian liquified natural gas company? Cause i got two brothers working there and i can always gets tips from them for you;

lookmangiw: And you would expect the president to give his precious assent to such bill. I laugh in swahili.

if he does'nt give his "precious" assent. A 2/3 majority of the house will overrule him and push forward the bill.

What a idiotic lot of people commenting on nairaland. So the national assembly doing their job means they are hungry? If your president works within the law, why would an impeachment law simplification worry him or his dull supporters. I love this house of representatives. Unlike others, they've shown they know their job.

By the way, the PDP controls the house so you can't blame this one on the opposition. Stupid party!

If only the PDP spends the amount of money and expertisim it spends on it's PR department, governing the country, 14 years later, we won't be in this sorry state.
