What rubbish! Bill gates can bugger off with his stupid money! He cancelled a visit to nigeria because the presidency padoned alams but he does'nt stop visiting or sending money to countries like afganistan and pakistan whoes government sponsor terrorism internationally. What ecer happened to the bill gates who said "the actions of a people's government should'nt be a catalist for helping poor mases"! Please let him bugger off!!

Since i'm still a teen. It's imperative by order of mum for the whole farmily to converge on the dinning table for breakfast and dinner, infact it's one of the most important spots in the house cause it is the only time due to our busy schedules we get to meet and enjoy each others company.

It's jonathan's fault!!

Druss: Not long after GEJ announces that Nigeria is safe for international investment, the INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT GETS ROBBED!! Am I bothered? NO!! Na una vote GEJ in!!

why won't you call jonathan because he is the security man at MMA. No one will mention mr eko oni baje, whoes state is now being overun with armned robbers. A state governour is responsible for security is his state, but why attack fashola? Jonathan is a jucier target!

baba dey: God help us,may nigeria not die young

please sharrrap!! Everybody wants to make odious and idiotic exargerations like you did above, let nigeria don't die young because of a robbery at an airport. Weeks back armned robbers robbed belgium airport and made away with diamonds on a plane and they faced no opposition, i'm hoping for belgium to die young soon,

Why will inec take your demands serious when your new party is in shambles! They claim to have a unified party but whenever anything happens CPC,ACN and everyother so called "merged" parties release seperate press statement, CPC is still running campaign ads on NTA for their local candidates. The party is imploading and about 25 months to the 2015 general election, this party have'bt gotton their act together and are given more nigerians reason to stick with PDP.

Why all the surprise and chatter? We all knew it will be an old white guy. And the church did'nt disappiont, they maintained the status quo. So much for change!!!

I wonder how many companies will be willing to employ graduates who have falloed for 2 years. Hear i was calling for the abolishment of this ghastly program and they're thinking of extending it by two years.

Japan is the most mysterious country on earth. A country not too big, moderate population and always prone to disaster, yet they trash the world when it comes to tech and genius. Japan not china is america's greatest fear that's why since world war 2, america has kept them on a tight leash.

Before this padon was annouced where do you think alameshia was? Langushing in kiri kiri prison? He has been a free man since, no one asked anything about him but now because the presidency is openely padoning him, some fools here are feining outrage. Obasanjo's buddies victor attah, peter odili, achike udenwa and many others are all at large today enjoying their loot which dwarfs whatever this man took from a state whoes riches cannot be compared to the guys state mentioned above. But because he fell out with the God father and was purnished. Where is the outrage from you guys against the fat cats who stole more than this man ever taught to but where loyal to the godfather. Alams is the scapegoat. The gift that keeps on giving.....nigeria has an incredibly long way to go!

JudismphD: 2015 struggle in 2013. Focusless PDP and directionlessness Minister want 2 suffocate Nigerians by all means. Let wait nd see who laugh last

must everything be about politics. Some of you folks are so submerged in trivial politics and division that the slighest pin drop is 2015 to you. Rather than the "elected" chief executive of a state exchanging words and almost fistcuffing with a federal "appionted" minister, why did'nt his justce dept. just take the case to the supreme court and clearly the case will be reffered back to his state and the federal government told to bugger off..now how has this shambolic display helped both of their courses? Common sense is lacking!

If the NYSC start making concesions to people based on whatever their belief is then the "discipline" the scheme emphasises will vanish as people will start picking what they want to wear under the umbrella of religion. Standards are standard and unecesary compromise diminished that standard.

Delafruita: see folly of the highest level.what was nixon guilty of?definitely not stealing funds.definitely not looting.he was guilty of high-handedness and cover-up.thats a totally different scenario.besides what happened to him eventually?he was forced to resign,all those involved in the scandal faced the wrath of the law so wadafuq are u saying?

what about his vietnam war crimes, secretly getting rid of anti vietnam protesters, using the FBI to blackmail opponents, richard nixon had blood on his hands and you compare him to a man who stole money from his state which has been recovered. Stop spewing rubbish!!

El Caballa: hey mr wannabe.must youy always compare us with those people.How much did Nixon steal? We all the about the case of Nixon.we are talking about a man that stole his state dry and you are talking about Nixon.

hey mr you can't be, i gave a detailed response to someone who used the u.s as an example. By the way to luminate your rather dull mind. Nixon has was responsible for the death of thousands of vietnamese in war crimes, linked to the death of prominent anti vietname war protesters, that man had blood to his hands and you compare it to a local governour stealing money which has now been recovered. Clueless individual.

hopefullman: get ur facts rit.nixon wasnt convictd of coruptn,he was(probbd) convictd of underminin political fredom.he wasnt even convictd in d us court bt us NASS.d us judiciary cn stil declar hm inocent

thank you for making my case stronger! Nixon was not even tried in a court of law. Immediately he resigned and flew off the south lawn of the white house, his succesors first order of buisness was immunity for nixon and killing the case thereby covering up all other illegal acts of the nixon administration. At least in my country, alameshia was tried,convicted, stripped of his loot and is now being padoned. My facts are suffering from overrightness!!

Gbawe: GEJ does not "give a damn" how reprehensible and senseless his actions appear to the world. He is very crude and unsophisticated in that regard and this development does not surprise me at all. We will see more like it because if GEJ realises that the game is up, despite all the PDP's bravado, then, because he is a 'throwback', we will see him doing what African leaders did in the past. I.e last minute looting, selling of State assets to cronies and empowering minions, pals and benefactors. We even saw OBJ doing this because he is a 'throwback' Dinosaur also. Predictable really but Nigeria deserves this for deciding they wanted an abjectly poor mediocrity as President while other African Countries are now firmly embracing the principles of empowering the very best their Nation has to offer.

what rubbish are you saying mr? How many state owned properties is the president selling? How much is he looting?where are the signs? You claim the president is scared and knows he's about loosing. To whom? Which cridible party has come up to challenge him and nigerians are seriously considering? Is it the APC that is imploading over a minor logo? I wonder what will happen when manifesto time or candidate time reaches. You just wip up the shambolic frenzy because of this story and it is disgusting!

ypzilanti: I thought pardons were for politically motivated convictions? This man was criminally convicted. He did not even do enough time in prison. Just yesterday, the city of Detroit in USA found the former mayor guilty of corruption, and he is facing 20 years imprisonment. That is how serious countries handle corruption.

since you're so in love with the u.s justice system let me ask you, how many years did pres. Nixon spend in prison for watergate and secret assasinations that went on in his government, how many years did ronald regan get for iran contra? How about david vitter,eliot spitter,etc...nigeria is always the worse country. Things that happen here can never happen somewhere else.

seanet02: Nigeria is finished!!
Jonathan want to pardon a criminal convicted of looting away the scarce resources meant for the development of Bayelsa
Jonathan surely have moral deficencies

did the united states of america finish when president gerald ford gave presidential padon to his corrupt boss richard nixon, this happened in the 70's and the u.s is still continuing through 2013. Nigerians just love exargeration and acting as if everything abnormal only happens here.

iyammah: Nigerians should know that the sack of Dr. Harold Demuren will result to new era of incessant plane crash. The 2015 is by the corner, blood sucking politicians will have assess to down so many plane for sacrifice. Nigerians should be aware. This effort to remove Dr. H Demuren, I see blood everywhere.

you just showed why mental check on people wanting to join nairaland is necessary, people like you would not be displaying pure lunacy!!

AjanleKoko: Dude, NCAA do not run the airports. FAAN does.


If most Nairalanders are like you . . . then, same of the same. Bunch of clowns and mo.rons. Internet-empowered dummies.

"dude", the NCAA is vested with the responsibility of consumer protection. And has the power to regulate bad practises in the sector like extorting the consumer, in this case "travellers, for more information, visit their website, "dude".

Anybody who says this man was removed because he's a yoruba is just plain foolish! President jonathan removed odein ajumogobia who is a fellow riverine man as foreign minister and put olubenga ashiru who is a yoruba man, this made riverine people angry but he did'nt care and today ashiru occupies the forth most powerfull position in the cabinet. Other yoruba's include olusegun aganga and others. And some fools here are playing the "tribalism" card for this man's sack!! Utterly pathetic and idiotic!!

I just updated Wikipedia....yippie

yeah! And he also presided over 5 plane crashes and a corrupt to the tooth NCAA where staff extort travellers and display the highest level of incompetence. In short just list for me a few of his "salient" achievements.

Gabriel_sylar: americo dem fear 26 yr old fati bom bom boy

a stupid 26 years old fat boy whoes hand is one anuclear trigger and can send the world into another world war. He has to be dealt with with precision!!

Well it has been a long time coming!! This man has been in office since the obasanjo government and has presided over 5 ane crash and massive corruption in the NCAA, like extortion from immigration officers and outrageous amounts of money paid by travellers for "airport maintenance"...as far as i', concerned, this man has'nt done anything significant for me to loose sleep over his sack..i just pray someone younger and smarter is appionted to bring our aviation sector into the 21st century!!

Demdem: Criminal acts remain so no matter what. Delibrate or not, innocents were killed. Why on earth should they even pick up arms and expect that innocents won't fall. U are justifying this because none of ur family members was among the fallen.
Will u still justify this if ur first child is among the dead in the hands of these thieves?

those criminal brought attention and awarness to the expliotation of the niger delta people, boko haram are commiting massacre for no reason and branding nigeria a major terrorist hub.

The niger delta militants and boko haram are different! The niger delta militants had a reason for what they did, they saw an injustice where their people were being explioted without any reward so they took up arms to defend their people. They did'nt purposely kill their people, they kidnapped for ransome and did'nt murder foreigners, that's why the west never saw them as an urgent threat.

Boko haram on the other hand are just stack murderers killing people in mass, raiding churches to kill worshippers for no reason and murdering foreign citizens.there shall be no amnesty for them and even if the nigerian government gives them western powers will still crush them for murdering thir citizens.

What bloody amnesty? Did boko haram give amnesty to the hundreds they have killed it? Did they give their farmilies and friends amnesty from the intense pain they felt and still fell? There shall be be no such amnesty! This murderers will get what they deserve and anyways for the fact they have started killing foreigners, drones will soon start raining on them so even if the nigerian government gives them amnesty, nato won't give them amnesty from drones.

k2039: [color=crap] [size=13pt] Pathetic.
Symptoms of a failed republic.
[/size][/color]

i agree it shows a poor sense of history to let this historic part of our country's history rot. But saying letting this building rot is "symptoms of a failed republic" is just ridiculous and exargerated!!

I was on a foreign newspaper website reading comments on an article on nigeria. It was so sad! All the comments were like "nigeria? Is'nt that country with crooks always sending me phoney emails to rip me off" and all sorts of hurtfull things. It was so sad and a horific day to be a nigeria!!

So the APC expect people to accept them as an alternative to the PDP when they're exhibiting an advanced type of corruption? "Picking" the presidential candidate based on region, not substance or vision for the country, so i guess there will be no primaries, or will it be only open to northern candidates? Is this the democratic opposition that will save nigeria? A party of godfathers who has already started picking presidential candidates two years before an election without any democratic primary process whatsoever!! Pathetic and utterly disgusting!!

I knew retirement will be hell for obasanjo, he just loves the limelight so much, the publicity he got for the "charity organisation" he launched in london has worn off so he pulled off this stunt,, how many people go to the "national headquaters" of the frsc just to get a linsence.

What's so wrong about this? Everyone does it. The deputy governour can resign rather than face impeachment and the governour gives him immunity and he goes free. That's what nixon/ford did!
