boy t:
Bakare, Pastor-Businesman- critic  now a politician. Blaah! Blaah!! Blaah!!!.  what is his stand?

If you could read and comprehend simple English, the transcript of his speech someone helpfully posted should tell you his stand on the issues bedeviling Nigeria today.

ZE:
total rubbish. turning facts upside down to suit his campaign.

i wonder what his congregation prepares to listen to when they get up on a Sunday morning to go to church.

This so called pastor has totally derailed from the teaching of Christ.

A state of emergency need to be declared if there is anything called church council in Latter Rain

Nobody declared a state of Emergency in the Church when Pentecostal pastors were aiding and encouraging the killing and torture of children in Akwa Ibom all in the name of 'exorcism'. Na now you hypocrites wan start?
Dolt!

Acidosis:
I nor fit laff. Its obvious that most peeps posting craps on this thread don't even know a thing about the works of a symbian phone (version 3 and 5). If I'm to start by listing the functionality of the apps I have on my E71, C5, most of u will end up selling your so called iphones. Someone even made mention of an app that locks iphone and all its apps. .come on dummy, this is sometin an ordinary N70 will do 4 u (when u try usin d phone, it ll simply tell u stuffs lyk ''drop my phone, thief!'' dependin on your settings.
Mayb I shuld tell u more. I have an app dat repels mosquitoes. . Its left 4 u 2 bliv!
Call recorder

LMAO!
Every single one of those apps is on the iPhone and they all look 100x better and perform 100x better than those ancient .sis and .sisx file you're proud of. I had that anti-mosquito app on my ancient Nokia 6600 way back in 2005.
When you are ready to move to the 21st century, scrape up the money to buy an iPhone or a decent Android phone.

I'm still laughing here, I cannot believe you're trying to brag here with Symbian. This ain't 2009 bro

Also has full size USB port (with USB Host functionality - plug in your flash drives etc), HDMI port.

Dayokanu, really as a tried and tested vampire, I am disappointed in you. I thought you could distinguish between other blood sucking b. astards like yourself and poor marginalized niger delta folk like MEND.

Go and tell that to the widow of the Army captain killed in Atlas Cove, along with his 3 young children.

by the way, the oldest of his kids in 10 years old. Go and tell them that their daddy was killed because some people were 'marginalized'.

Less i 4get, only a FOOL, a very big FOOL will criticize pastor Ayo.

Yeah, your Pastor Ayo that keeps insisting that religion be kept out of Governance yet he told his congregation that they MUST vote for GEJ. Your Pastor Ayo that told a massed congregation that Mr Uduaghan was 'God sent'.

Anyway whatevs (would you like a definition here too??)

While I see valid points in your OP, your complaints about the restaurant he took you to may be a bit unfair. How exactly was he supposed to know that you hated that restaurant? And even if that was the cheapest in town, how sure are you that the low cost was the reason for his choice of that restaurant? Why are you supposed to care so much about how much he spends on you anyway?

Next time you're unhappy with his driving, INTERVENE! Make him end the call and slow down. If your life was as important to you as you claim, you'd have made that effort.

it has been confirmed that new Nokia devices starting from the n97 to present release( including the n900, x7, c7, n950, n9. n8) and a few to list will die out by 1st month of 2013. this is due to as a result of nokia been sold out to windows and so there fore all Nokia devices running on maemo, meego, symbian 5th and os3 will die out as results of hardware failures and expired certificate, This comes as a big blow for us Nokia fanatics and lovers

omicpet:
@ mafia am sure u are not getting this clear, nokia is a finnish company i.e from finland and though they have make great phones but unlike the apple and bb and htc that make just normal phone but supports most of the europe and usa service carriers and scream at the top of their voice on each of their release making consumers aware of their phone capabilities and options, nokia dose not give consumers the up down on their mobile hence consumers opt for these phones hence putting nokia in such a huge debt or dont u know dat wen sales record are compared, nokia has gone from been 82% of majority phones been sold to a lil of 43% in just a space of 3 years.

All you're posted here is a load of crap.
Please go and re-read your sources (slowly this time!) or get someone to translate it for you to your native language so you can understand properly.

I suggest you apologise to @mafia.

Just a mild correction

In the last 3 years, Crude Oil has sold at the average of $100 per Barrel. That is about $60 Billion in a year, for which the Nigerian Government gets about $ 40 Billion (about 60% of the proceeds). T

Actually, the Nigerian Government take should be more like 90%, not the 60% the writer assumes.

Excellent article, by the way.

kufreabasi:
“What we are telling the CBN governor is that he should be ready to spend the same billions when Christians eventually come up with their own. We are looking into what the CBN is spending on the project and we will come out with the figures. He (Sanusi Lamido Sanusi) will have to bring out that amount of money, he will have to make sure that Christians are trained in anywhere we need training. For example, in Sweden there is a very good Christian model of non-interest banking. So, Sanusi must get ready to bring out the billions to train over a thousand Christians in Sweden.”

Out of curiosity, I ask my fellow Christians: What do we call it when someone say something deliberately false to change someone else's conviction.
Wasn't that called LYING?

So why is the CAN president lying about 'billions' spent in 'promoting Islamic banking'?

Mr Oritsejafor stuns me every day with his increasingly ignorant statements.  Why did the CAN council not seek better leadership?

First he demands that CBN rolls out 'uniform guidelines'. yet in the next breath he acknowledges that the Islamic foundation of Islamic banking will not allow some specific types of transactions i.e loans for pig farming and opening a brothel. So why now insist on uniform guidelines?

The CBN's role has been to draw up and publish guidelines under which Islamic banking institutions can operate. Why is Pastor Oritsejafor going round painting the picture that the CBN is spending a huge amount of state funds to establish Islamic banking?

Ironic that the same man who was asking GEJ to arrest Buhari for 'inciting statements' is the one spouting these sort of controversial and divisive statements.

Too much talk about praying for nigeria and too little talk about paying taxes, utility bills and obeying all laws of the land. This is why we struggle in this country!

[quote author=Ricky_Ross link=topic=743887.msg9007563#msg9007563 date=1314299998]Alex Ndukwe did wonderfully well than any other. I praise people that are praise worthy, period.
So far we've had so many incompetent presidents and none of them is able to fix our electricity problem, if an Hausa man becomes the president tomorrow and solve all our electricity problems i will praise him without being biased,

People like you who think they know too much dont know nothing, You are quick to state phones are cheap in India without giving us reasons why phones are cheap over there? India manufactures phones and telecom equipments, the same cannot be said about Nigeria.

Call rate in India is the cheapest in the world and we know the reasons, In India Bharti Airtel and the rest source all their equipments and labor locally. Most phones used in India are manufactured in India and that's an added advantage, In Nigeria MTN and the other networks use generators to power their base stations, all the equipments they use are imported mostly from Asia and this is one of the reasons call rate is high in Nigeria. Not trying to defend these greedy telecom companies, but let the truth be told,[/quote]BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
So you still fall for that 'we use Generators so we charge higher' bullcrap line?
Nonsense! The sheer volume of Nigerian customers easily offsets the added cost of running on generators. Plus, it doesn't cost any extra fuel in the generator to power up the 3G radios on the existing masts. Are you still gonna rely on the 'generators' excuse to explain why our 3G internet data plans are probably the biggest rip-off in Africa?

For the last time, the NCC really has little or no impact on the price of phones in Nigeria. Giving the NCC credit for the cheap Nokia and china phones flooding the country is a bit brainless, don't you think?

Under Mr ndukwe, the carriers got away with blue murder in terms of call rates, quality of service, reliability and internet bundles. As long as you blind yourself with tribal goggles, you will never see the true state of things.

Gaddafi is truly African leader that love his people dearly, he protected their crude from imperialist and that is why they are very mad at him.

Which is why he ruled for 42 years, handed over key state property and positions to his sons and used Libyan money to sponsor terrorism?
If this is your definition of 'truly African leader', I pity you.

[quote author=aloy-emeka link=topic=743829.msg9003062#msg9003062 date=1314267543]Do the two events make her less powerful?. And who told you that Ngige had no rigging machinery?. Dora has been a pariah from day 1. So many grudges are still in stock for her because she was brave enough to call Aondokaa and his machinery out to declare Nigeria a state with no president. All the so so called PDP elders were there, some were in the meeting yet they kept quiet. Nigerians are their own greatest enemy, if they desire to rubbish Dora who speaks the truth and desires to set the record straight at all cost, then they have no hope.[/quote]How the hell can someone who you admit is a 'pariah' now become 'one of the most powerful women in Nigeria'?

Abeg take time out to reflect before posting here.

the Dora that was washing plate for Turai is now the one you people are touting as one of the most powerful women in Nigeria? LMAO!

Dame Patience Jonathan wields more power in Nigeria than Dora can ever dream of. Ditto for people like Diezani Madueke.

Just so you know Dora and Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala are the most powerful women in Nigeria. The next minute now you will start telling us how millions of yoyoba people posses 70 degrees that they cant even defend,  If your people are as important and as educated as you people make us to believe then they will be making Forbes list. Like I said, you are an empty fool that never see anything good in Nigeria yet you still reside in this country.

I'll have some of that prime weed you're smoking.

Try and recall what happened when she tried to call a PDP elders meeting in Anambra. Also recall how she was defeated by Ngige even with all the rigging machinery deployed by the state in her support.

[quote author=Ricky_Ross link=topic=743887.msg9001772#msg9001772 date=1314255787]Alex Ndukwe has done wonderfully well in the telecoms sector. Today the poorest Nigerian citizen can afford cell phones courtesy of an Igboman. If you put an incompetent fool there he will just mess up bc he is clueless.[/quote]People like you are part of the reason why Nigeria is so backward, with your effusive praise for even mediocre accomplishment.

Even the poorest Indians can afford cheap cellphones. The cost of cellphones is not at all regulated by the NCC. Why did you not comment on the relatively high charges for making calls on these phone in Nigeria, compared to many other African countries?

Mobile internet in Nigeria costs almost double the cost in several other African countries. Call quality is abysmal on very many occasions, with MTN, Glo and Airtel adding more subscribers than their infrastructure can handle with ease. nigerians complain about poor call quality, arbitrary carrier charges (and promo fraud) among many other examples of shoddy service.

Abeg flee from sycophancy and ass kissing.

South African President Jacob Zuma yesterday said air strikes by the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) went further than a United Nations resolution to protect civilians in Libya and undermined Africa’s role in seeking a ceasefire, Bloomberg reported.[b] “The situation in Libya has been of concern as it has been accompanied by the undermining of the African continent’s role in finding a solution,” [/b]Zuma told reporters in Cape Town after meeting Ghanaian President John Atta Mills.

Can anyone tell me of any problem in Africa in recent times that the AU has put forward and executed a plausible solution?

Ivory Coast? Fail

And now, Somalia? Failing.

@Tadebo
I'm just making my observations clear
I've stopped being delusional with this neutrality nonesence. I will never be deceived again.
In the past admin, it was Akunyili cleaning up NAFDAC. Here we go again with top Igbos doing well in their various ministries.
What is the Minister of Education doing? Where is the FCT Minister? Where's the Agric Boss? They're no where to be found.
The only minister who seems to be working, in addition to the three I earlier mentioned is Alison Madueke, who's also an igbo woman both by birth and by marriage. Where are the other ministers? Where are their pronouncements? Give me a break on this ethnic neutrality nonesense. I refuse to be deceived again. When performance/rescue becomes the watchword, igbos emerges.

Correction
in the past Administration, it was Akunyili well on her way to being one of the most inept and incompetent Information ministers we've ever had, wasting Taxpayers money on her brainless and imbecilic Rebranding campaign. NAFDAC was a long time ago.

Also, please explain to us what exactly Mrs Diezani Madueke has done to impress you.

Dont mind these NATO and Rebel guys!
They've been playing their "Propaganda War" from day 1.

I know we dont like Ghadafi in these part of the world but lets be objective about "him" and the "interest of the NATO/Americans" in all these.

*First they told us Ghadafi and his sons are surrounded.
*Then they said "one body" is the dead body of one of his sons
*Then they said on Tuesday, ALL his three sons have been captured!
*Then we heard the "baad-man" himself made a radio broad cast! WTF?
*and then Saif Al-Islam also paraded himself openly in Tripoli!
Where is all the capture then?


And before you could say 'wetin', we heard the sons have escaped one by one!

The 'capture' reports came from the rebels, not NATO.

Nobody in his right senses expected Ghadafi to win this war, imagine an African country flooring the whole of America and European Powers combined? Naaah, give him credit that he lasted this long, if na Naija, it is just three days and all our soldiers will just remove their Uniform

Lol @ 'Lasted this long'. The only ground opposition Gadaffi faced was the largely uncoordinated, poorly armed rebels. Holding out against air operations is no big deal for a power drunk tyrant.
If anything, Tripoli was captured too easily.

It would help if these African countries would live up to their responsibilities when they are called upon to do so. When the UN left Ivory Coast to the AU to take care of, what did they do apart from empty saber rattling?
over 600 killed so far in clashes in South Sudan. What is the AU doing?
Violence in Congo. What did Africans do?
Famine in Somalia. What has the AU done? How much aid have African countries provided? As we speak, the US alone proivides 47% of food aid to starving somalians. There is no oil in Somalia. What are Africans doing? How much have YOU and your fellow 'Pan African' rabble rousers contributed?

Where were African countries when China kept protecting Sudan from sanctions while the Government allowed the slaughter in Darfur? Where were you when the Chinese bought huge swathes of arable farmland in Sudan in exchange?

Are we truly slaves? We deserve our fate.
