Coco diva: Mr president pls do something significant fast and curb these boko boys.Don't just be a decoration in Aso-rock.
Eko o ni baje o

my dear, if boko haram had an office in maiduguri with a sign post where they operate from, they would have been history but that's not how terrorism works. This people are like the wind. You can feel what they're doing but you can't see them. We should be gratefull for our securitu agencies little achievements.

"in the past we would have killed them, but now we're afraid of police"

Look at them, disgusting loafers! They miss the days when they could lazy about and demand high salaries, go on strike whenever they like under their bloated unions, maggie changed all that and created a more sorphisticated nation. She established thatcherism in britain to the point subsequent labour governments had to tow her line. Celebrating her death is silly because they too will die someday but when they do no one will neither mourn or celebrate because they lived an inconsequential life. She made a difference that's why she's mourned and scorned in death.

That is the Number 1 man in the world bowing to the King of Saudi

It doesnt take much to know people who wake their parents up with kicks

what nonesense!! This was at a reception of G20 leaders at buckingham palace hosted by queen elizabeth. Obama was greeting the saudi king and accidentally dropped something. Can't you see the people around him are looking down with him? Groass misinterpretation!!

dayokanu: Obama bowing to the emperor of japan

[img]http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/.a/6a00d8341c630a53ef0128759fd303970c-800wi[/img]

the only reason obama bowed to the emperor of japan is because bowing is the official way of greeting in japan..so don't think it's anything special or awesome!!

The iron lady bows out!! No matter what anybody says, this woman was a great lady!! She was great!! She helped crush communism, she paved the way for female leadership!! She saved the united kingdom from collapes. She made tough choices to save a nation collapsing under it's own weight. Whatever suffering anyone suffered under her reforms was a necessary price to pay for the continual survival of the nation. History will judge her incredibly!!

In as much as i respect how outspoken ameachi is recently, i advice him to thread carefully. He's gonna be out of office soon and the EFCC,a federal government puppet will be at his doorstep and they have enought amunition to attack him with. Don't think you'll be safe like odili who's supreme court justice wife is shielding him, the presidency will just give you the timipre slyva treatment.

A happy birthday to a nigeria veteran! This man always impresses me during armned forces remembrance day celebrations. You can actually sense the emotion and respect he has for his departed fellow veterans when he lays his reef. He even does it better than the commander in chief.

Okija_juju: That Oba is a Biitchass!!

Why is he bowing to the Queen?!

He even left his palace to meet her at the Airport?!

She is shaking him with her gloves on sef!!

Yet his foolish Grandson would not even come out to see the President?

#Typical Nigga Mentality!!

in case you don't know. As of that her visit, she was still queen and commander in chief of nigeria so she takes precedence over every other person in the country.

And what is wrong with him bowing to a woman? Nigerians and our degredation of women.

I would have loved to hear what prince phillip had to say about the oba's dressing cause when he was in nigeria in 2003 with the queen and he saw obasanjo with his long flowing agbada at the airport, he exclaimed. "mr president, you look like you're ready for bed".

But you have money to pay and sponsor the likes of ex president bill clinton and george bush, tony blair,fmr. Secretary rice.etc. To attend your THISDAY events..

Gbawe.:
PDP running scared Kai, previously it was only GEJ's mad dog inner circle of Maku, Okupe, Abati, Omokri et al 'infected' with jonathanism. Now, it seems the entire PDP has really taken on the identity of GEJ. The Party is now appearing distinctly scared, insecure, paranoid, jittery and suffering from siege mentality. Won se bere ni. O ti tan fun PDP pata pata. Eni ba gbon ni inu PDP a bere si ni ma di eru re.

very funny because if i were PDP i'll be so relaxed and happy at the way things are. I'm facing a disfunctiional opposition that can't even come to an aggrement on what logo to used for their merged party, talk less of articulating a manifesto or pick a presidential candidate and this is just two years before the next election with PDP still the biggest, mist popular party is nigeria. Tinubu and his cronies are just where PDP wants them. His rethorics will lead to their reelection in 2015.

50calibre: These people are just running Nigeria like a family business

so the health of the president's wife should be a national issue? How does her health and treatment affect the running of the country? Or the national assembly should debate and vote on how much health care she gets. Your comment is hard to comprehend.

tomakint: The rate of incessant accidents during and after festive periods are perennial malaises as far as Nigeria is concerned and they are traceable to the negligence of duties on the parts of our so-called leaders! May the souls of the departed R.I.P!

leaders? Nigerians are so in love with government they belive it is the reason, cause and solution to everything. If you actually went through the article, you'll see it's the stupidy and recklessness of some nigerians that caused it, but no matter what happens, government is to blame.

Question: with the military unable to cub boko haram and with no end to their terror in sight, without amnesty whatelse do you think will stop the massacre going on in nigeria? Will boko haram kust wake up one day and repent and stop killing?

It's very easy for armchair critics to say boko haram should be fought and destroyed but you fail to understand what terrorism is. If the u.s with it's unmatched military might cannot destroy the taliban but are now negociating amnesty then what more nigeria?

Non of you talking rubbish here live in one of those bomb zones, that's why you're here tearing into a president for putting his people first. The military have proved to be incompetent in stopping the killings so while the government keeps a stiff upper lip and keep promising boko haram eradication, more people are dying in the north, and you sit in your comfy environment in one safe city and advocate for more innocent in the hot zone to die. Let it be on record that this president did "EVERYTHING" and explored all "OPTION" to save nigerian lives.

Seriously, nigerian journalists are amateurs. Everything now goes in the country. Anybody can make any factually wrong statement without any journalistic push back. Any document can surface and their is no indebt reporting how it came about, if it was a setup, whatever! Everything just goes. And all we see on dailies are ghastly headlines,"jonathan is stupid-el-rufia".

I tell you, the only reason boko haram has'nt dealt a powerfull blow to our economy is because lagos has'nt been hit and lagos see it as the stable hub in the country. If one bomb goes off there. It's the beginning of the end o!!

The government of goodluck jonathan never openly accussed buhari of being a boko haram sponsor but buhari has just openly accused the president of the federal republic of nigeria, a position he has occupied before of creating a terrorist sect to kill millions of innocent nigerians. He does'nt realise how small and childish he now looks compared to his other ex heads of state who have kept a relatively low and respectable profile and not make unfounded accusation against a fellow GCFR!! This is most disappionting!!!

I hope this is a joke oh! Because this is the last thing this country needs at this fragile time. Boko haram wreaking havok in the north and mend raining fire in the south. This country will just impload!!!

Why do i get the feeling that if this thrend was about el-rufia slaming jonathan, he won't have been so insulted by nairalanders?

This picture is a prolific attestation to what ibo's got to do, to gain the nigerian presidency!

free2ryhme: Show me a credible ibo leader

i don't know how myopic you're but the man who made the statement is, i mean a former commonwealth secretary general, a man who queen elizabeth called her "friend" and "one of africa's most distinguished gentlemen", a man who guided to the commonwealth from the distructive tendecies of margaret thatcher ans helped the organisation walk the fine line of aparthied. This man epitomises credibility and i hope i've answered your question.

This is downside of news network preparing for the death of famous personalities before their death so when it happens they'll be the first to break the story.

Every newscaster of the BBC has a black tie in their office drawer so whenever the queen dies, they'll be fully prepared to break the news! It's just wrong.

This is a testament to how much communism has failed. Communism in china is crumbling before our eyes, infact the only thing communist remaining in china is the communist party.

Just imagine the odious display of wealth. China's in equality gap will be be larger than the u.s, chinese billionaire are not teaching western billionares how to spend money. Chairman mao will will rolling in his grave!!

It is easier as a serria leonian or liberian to get a foreign visa than as a citizen of africa's so called gaint? Due to all this international embarrasements and notoriety!

It seems doyin okupe has replaced ruben abati as the most hated person on nairaland...i'll like to see this guy that makes nairalander blood boil.

Bigcake: Nigeria always one step forward two steps backward. Why not cut down d take home package of our politicians, e.g. Senators, Reps, Governors. Etc. Do dat first then we will believe u really want to cut cost.

my dear, salaries, benefits and allowances are sacred cows when it comes to cutting spending in the government. The national assembly will not entertain any discussion to cuts in their benefits especially now that they're even advocating an increase. They will bring down the axe on anyone who proposes anything on their benefits just as they tried with sanusi.

[quote autor=nkem Kalu]Is this an admittance that JONATHAN- a sitting president is not respected by the people of Nigeria or his own people OR THAT NOBODY CARES TO LISTEN TO HIM? I think ur own reasoning is more narrow minded giving that JONATHAN is the COMMANDER IN CHIEF OF THE ARMED FORCES - (AND HE HAS ALL THE POWERS TO GO AFTER ANY TERRORIST INCLUDING BUHARI IF HE HAS EVIDENCE) WHY SIT ON THE FENCE AND MAKE ANIMAL NOISE WAITING FOR BUHARI TO END BOKO HARAM FOR HIM? THIS IS PURELY A CASE OF INCOMPETENCE.[/quote]you know nigeria is really sinking ideologically when a president seeking the help of his predesessors to solve problems in areas where they are more popular and respected is seen as incompetence. Is'nt all hands on deck what democracy id about? This is what it means when politicians say in the victory speaches that they call on their opponents to join them in moving the country forward, with the prospect of scotland leaving the u.k david cameron has called on his predesessors gordon brown who is scottish to help and sway pscottish public opinion from leaving the union. Does that make him any less the british prime minister? Rather it shows maturity on the two men considering how venormous their last elction faceoff was, so why would you in your right senses call this happening here "incompetence"?

take dat: Cheap blackmail and tissues of lies from an habitual liar who speaks on behalf of a government that is pathologically incapable of accepting responsibility. If there are concrete evidence that he is behind the BH scourge, why not prosecute him instead of this campaign of calumny, looking for a fall guy? Is Government trying to abdicate her responsibility of securing lives and properties to the Same Buhari who is accused of being behind the menace? Okupe should tell Nigerians if it was Buhari who granted the likes of Ndume bail, and if he is the reason why Modu Sherrif still remains a free man? Why not send his deputy(Sambo) to do the same just as Yaradua did with him in brokering peace with the ND militants?

if jonathan has been such a amatuer when it comes to boko haram, why does'nt buhari take up the mantel and look like the adult in the room, do you know what that will do for his national profile? It's common sense except he knows the reason why it's not possible to negociate with boko haram.

kingoflag: Youre either slow or just been deceptive. Buhari should stop the same people GEJ (Commander-In-Chief of Nigeria's Armed Forces) has called: "My Brothers", "Ghosts" and claimed has infiltrated his Government?

GEJ has messed everything up, be a man and accept that and stop trying to apportion blame.

that is why common sense is not common, my closing statement is the crux of this matter, "how matured he really is" if jonathan as you claimed has been an amature in handling boko haram does it not create a cahance for buhari to step in and look like the adult in the room? This will up his national profile and make him look more presidential to skeptical nigerians. But alas nigerians don't see the bigger picture in everything and alow pride not common sense to cloud the mind.

dayokanu: Is this an admittance of failure from a man who was given the mandate to protect life and properties in the country asking an ordinary civilians to do his job for him?

If he cant perform then resign soon you go ask people to come help you nyansh Patience

Retardeen never cease to amaze

asking ordinary citizens? So a former nigeria head of state who is also a prominent muslium, widely respected by his people and who they'll listen to is now "an ordinary citizen"? I don't know how narrow minded you're but this how government works, all hands on deck to solve national problems, that is how it is done worldwide and buharu's response to this will determine how matured he really is.
