Eko Ile: Too bad when its all said and done, APC = Another PDP.


Credible opposition in Nigeria is still a mirage.

This reasoning is highly stuupid!

The Republic of Korea (South Korea), on Friday, called for Nigeria’s assistance to broker peace between it and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea).

[b]Mr Chung Eui-Yong, Special Envoy from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Republic of Korea, made the call when he visited the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Olugbenga Ashiru, in Abuja.

Eui-Yong said that Nigeria’s relations with both North and South Korea would be of benefit to the promotion of peace between both countries.

"Nigeria is one of the few countries in the world that maintains good relations with both the North and South of the Korean Peninsula," he said. "We believe that the Government of Nigeria would take advantage of the good relations to persuade our brothers and sisters in North Korea to come out of its self-inflicted isolation and embrace peace.

The minister has special experience with our brothers and sisters in North Korea and we hope we can rely on your good offices to reconcile us and find a way to establish peace in our part of the world."

The envoy said that South Korea was willing to engage North Korea in dialogue and deepen its cooperation with the country to enhance peace.

"We are ready to reconcile our differences peacefully; we are very concerned about their recent actions including the testing of nuclear weapons," he said. "We hope they will stop this provocation and come to the table; we are willing to talk and provide humanitarian assistance for them."[/b]

In his response, Ashiru said that Nigeria did not support the acts of threat from North Korea, adding that it would spare no efforts in ensuring peace between North and South Korea.

"We will continue to use our good offices and relations with them to tell them that they have to sit down with their brothers from the South and talk," he said. "We do not support any belligerency on their part; we do not support North Korea threatening South Korea or the United States in any way.

We believe that the issues that are causing this tension could be resolved peacefully. They need assistance from the South and from the U.S. and they must come down and talk with their brothers; there is no reason for any situation to cause tension in that peninsular. We want to see a peaceful Korean Peninsula and Nigeria would spare no efforts to assist in whatever way we can, to bring both countries to talk until peace is achieved."

Ashiru also urged South Korea to invest in key sectors of the Nigerian economy as such would strengthen economic relations between both countries.

Earlier, both parties had held closed-door discussions to work out areas in which they could enhance bilateral relations, and agreed to enhance political, economic and cultural relations

take dat: And why should he resign? The government you elect, is the government you deserve! Every country has the government it deserves! Enjoy the Fresh Air, at least till 2015!

daywatcher: If for example, I reside in Mushin, would I have a choice of distribution companies or am I restricted to just one?

Ngwakwe: Let me narrate the story of identical crime
in Aba and how JTF and State Government
handled it.

1. The State Government declared
Amnesty and Rehabilitation for the
Kidnappers if they stop kidnapping and
surrender their arms

2. Most Kidnappers surrendered their
arms and was listed for the amnesty.

3. The Kingpin of the Kidnappers
(Osisikanku) with his group continued
and kidnapped a bus full of School
Children.

4. The State Govt. Cancelled the amnesty
and handed that list of Kidnappers to JTF.

5. The JTF printed contact phone numbers
and circulated them to the environs and
natives in suburbs and villages for
information on the way about and secret
locations/hideouts of these criminals.

6. The people responded actively by
calling the JTF and informing them of any
suspicious movements and hideouts of
these criminal.

7. Because the people responded
positively, there were relatively minimal
or no casualty in the operations of JTF

8. The JTF is still in Abia State and there is
relative peace and tranquillity in the State
and there are no reports of summary
execution of anybody in the State.

9. The only regret is the extortion and
sometimes harassment by members of JTF
on innocent citizens.

10. The JTF used the Amnesty list to fish
out and eradicate most of these criminal
by either arresting them or summary
execution in case of Gun battle.

playmode: I am not frustrated as i do not live in Nigeria.I live in a country where power supply is 24 hours a day ,7 days a week. Fortunately for me i have friends who work in the power sector of my host country and through them i now have some reasonable insight on how to generate power.It is not as hard as our politician make it out to be.They intentionally tell us lies to make it seem like power generation is a hard task.One thing i am sure of though is that the opposite is the case.If i were to be in the position of Minister of power ,i will fire all the "dead wood" who have occupied senior positions in the ministry of power for the past 10 years and hire foreign experts from Japan ,USA,Canada,Germany and Russia that are experienced in power generation and transmission.I will not hire them as consultants ,i will hire them as active duty ,salary earning civil servant to fill up crucial positions in the Ministry of power. In case you have not noticed , there are a lot of highly skilled Americans who no longer have a job due to the economic crisis in the USA.These people could be very valuable to the Nigerian Government in various ministries where they are failing.

You can not ask a carpenter to fix a leaking pipe and expect a good result. Nepotism is the backbone of the PDP , friends doing favors for friends e.t.c.Like i said i can fix Nigeria's power problem in 6 months,it is not a boast; it is fact.Zimbabwe with all it's economic problems has 24 hours electricity .Ask yourself how that is possible when they barely have food to eat? Yet Nigeria with all it's financial muscle can not build refineries or fix the power sector?

If we were to arrest Jonathan , his cronies , Members of the house of assembly and other PDP big wigs today seize all their assets ,retrieve all monies they have stolen do you know how much we will have? There will be enough money to build an entire city that will be similar to Dubai, build bullet train system,build decent sewage system,build Oil refineries and increase our power generation 20 folds. e.t.c We have the money to fix Nigeria but it is being kept in the pockets of the animals in Abuja.Go and take a look at how they are living large at the expense of our people.One animal known as DIDI a close pal of Jonathan just bought a N60Million Ferrari last week.These are the kinds of people who should be kidnapped , slaughtered and their heads hung a pole in a round-about for everyone to see.

rusher14: This matter has been put to bed.

I would really appreciate it if you do not peregrinate like a sparrow.

The matter at hand is power generation and transmission as promised by the ruling PDP through the president.

Why should we believe things would change for the better if after 14 years of rule, power is still very much a mirage?

Why should we believe when middle-to-late last year the Pro-anything-GEJ-says-is-true group told us the dark days were well and truly over only for us to discover that it was the perennial issue of increase in generated power due to increase in water levels at the dams?

What promise do the down-trodden have other than knowing that there is an imminent hike in the price of petroleum products?

What is more ludicrous than a regime not being able to bring to justice those that have looted the country's treasury ragged and even told the masses that they would have to pay the cost?

Indeed, you can begin your usual Argumentum Ad Hominem (It wouldn't surprise me), facts don't lie.

Nothing has changed and as much as one would appreciate a positive change one can only be pessimistic based on past antecedents of the president and ruling government.

Over to you.

Ozonna: Guys no one is saying that we'll have uninterrupted power supply by 2015 in Nigeria. The only town that may have 24hrs light is Aba town because of Barth Nnaji's company and the power the company will generate initially may not even be enough for the whole of Abia State. Gej said "stable". If someone is in a coma and the Dr's say that the person condition is "stable" it means he/she is improving/will survive ( I stand to be corrected by Dr's in the house).

Even if you don't travel, ask "unbiased" Petrol tanker drivers, Luxury Drivers, frequent road trvellers,etc the condition of our roads before GEJ took over and now. Just make out time and ask them.

Most of our highways are being touched by GEJ.
Most of our Airports are being touched by GEJ.
Railways touched by GEJ.
Seaports touched by GEJ.
Power touched by this same man.

I'm not saying he's perfect but if past presidents (from the 80's - 2007) did what he's doing now, Nigeria would've been a developed nation by now.

As a Christian this man needs our prayers not curses.

bodmasfem: The more people defend GEJ, the more he diapoints those who are defending him.
Those who are defending this man dont even know that by associating themselms with this man, they are equally becoming worthless in the eyes the entire citizen of Nigeria!

God punish GEJ!
God punish PDP!
God punish his supporters!

playmode: The sad part of it is that i can fix the power problem Nigeria has in 6 months but will Nigerians let someone like me get to the position of Minister of power? No ways our people hate progressive people ,they will only support the person that will keep them in bondage. Talk about about earth's largest nigger nation with nigger leaders and nigger population.A recipe for total chaos and anarchy,Niggers will be niggers no matter how many degrees they acquire ,it is a race thing.
