MTN BB is 2.5GB. Etisalat is unlimited but you cannot use it outside your BB. You can use MTN on your android or modem.

At the end of the day, people will begin to appreciate Edwin Clerk and Asari Dokubo. They are the first people in the history of Nigeria, outside the military, to stand up to the north. Zik, Awo, Enahoro, and the list goes on, could not stand up to the north. History will have it on record that Chief Edwin Clerk and Asari Dokubo looked at them in the face and told them to go suck it! And the whole geographical land mass called Nigeria will be better for it!

Rukemi291: Which region will suffer SS of course.
Dokubo should take a trip to the North East and see what has become of it.

By the time Boko finishes North East, Asari finishes South South, we will have four sane zones left to decide if we still want to bear NIGERIA or not....

The rest of the country cannot win the SS in a real war. dont kid yourself. We dont pray that day comes, but dont kid yourself. The SS will always speak their mind. They dont chicken out like other regions. What will the north fight with? Cattle? Biafra would not have lost the war if the SS had alligned with them. Dont kid yourself my dear friend. Asari knows very well what he is talking about. The north has been running their mouth for too long and they will be told the truth. If the SW are too scared to check them, the SS will do it for everyone.

Bonapart: If dis man is not careful he will not see another sun shine.......na him papa get 9ja??

Yes! Without im papa, your states will go hungry!

nep2ra: Someone should eternally silence this noise maker already.

Why not give it a try?

Gbawe: What a crude joker this Asari-Dokubo is.

Why didnt you say this when the threats were coming from the north? Hypocrite. If you think it is a joke, then the joke is on you. You have no freaking clue. This is 2013!

I like 2face but he is no where near a role model. I will never allow my kid sit in a session to be "inspired" by 2face. That one na "ganja and condomless" inspiration, He will spend 30 minutes sayin "one love" and "my people, nothing dey happen". Let him just face his entertainment stuff

Tolexander: hold it!
South Africans are not defending their president because of the incidence but for their hatred for nigerians. You can read what their comments are down the post.
Was it not the same South Africans yabbing their president when he apologised for the deported nigerians on the yellow fever card?

Why are you holding brief for them? did they not vote in a president when he was going through a corruption trial and was looking very guilty? What are you on about?

You ACN rascals really think this your tactics of trying to derail threads against your pay masters will work abi?

Discuss the topic or shift yo one side. Please Sincere Nigerian, fire on! Ignore the dolt! He is a tout from surulere under bridge!

Diasporan: Why i won't exchange words with you is first you appear like a juvenile.Try to quote source when dropping a comment from other source.Secondly i thought you posted your comment out of authenticity or first hand experience of these roads but i see you didn't instead you went to search through Google for bad roads in America just to discredit the dude's post.SMH thats very poor of you.I bet you if you have seen the inter-state roads in the US you won't have even thought of using Google to search for fairy tales in order to discredit his post a typical draw-down syndrome commonly found amongst Nigerians within Nigeria and in diaspora.Again i say go retract that post son.

You are a typical white man's slave. You are suffering from Identity crisis. You are soooo lost. First, your comments show you didnt even read my post, yet you commented on my post. That is a typical sign that you were poorly educated. Please ask your teacher for a refund! If you want to join a debate, always read the articles. Then you can respond better. Stop acting on impulse. Read carefully. You sound like those dudes who always ask for the summary of the article. Abeg shift!

Pictures from Capetown and Joburg, South Africa

Diasporan: You really have issues.Are you in anyway better than the white man slave if i may ask?

When you were talking nonsense, you didnt know you have issues abi? I posted pictures of America and links to the articles and you are telling me to retract it. Are you ok?

[quote author=I no know book]Whether you posted article from a website or not, ultimately, you are responsible for the post. Obviously, you believed so much in the article, hence, your posting it. Stop trolling all over the web looking for article to post on this forum, if you are not man enough to stand by it. Very typical of Nigerians, nobody ever wants to be responsible for his/her actions. It's always, 'it's not me, it's the other person'. COWARD![/quote]Is the article a lie? what are you blabbing about? Are you trying to defend the white man? Yeye!

And when you are done with that please type slums in India! Ode!

Diasporan: My friend the dude spoke the truth.What made you to even bring up the name of US when discussing bad roads and you even went the extra mile by comparing roads in Cali to Nigerian roads by further posting pictures.I have travelled over 14 states beginning from Texas to New York and i never seen any single bad road on my numerous trips.So kindly retract that your post

Dont you know how to read? Please use google and type "bad roads in the USA" and stop talking nonsense. You are talking absolute bull! Stop acting like a white man's slave!

[quote author=I no know book]You are full of crap! Stop your stupid comparison. No matter how you try, you can never compare sleep with death. For a starter, how many network of roads do we have in Nigeria? Nigeria does not even have roads and the little it has, it cannot maintain. The network of road in the US is very astounding and massive, and they maintain virtually all of it. Besides, they do not have any other option than to maintain, as the government could be sued and found liable for an accident caused by the poor condition of a road. I have lived in the US for quite sometime, and I cannot even remember the number of time my county scraped my street and re-tared it, even though the street was very good. They do come around once in a long while to scrape and re-tare roads even when they are in perfect condition. Have you seen that done in Nigeria?
People like you are the very reason why Nigeria is redundant. You celebrate mediocrity. There is no reason why you should put up your post in justification of the deplorable conditions of our roads. Please for your own sake, stop showing your stupidity by comparing Nigeria that does not even have up to 5,000 km of paved road to a country that has more than 4 million km of paved roads. Enough said![/quote]If you re not an iddiota, you would have seen that I added the links to my post. I actually just re-posted articles from American sites. I didnt write the article myself. But you are too dummb to notice

Amaechi’s Aircraft Ineligible for N-Registration & Why the Pilot Did Not Tender the Manifest

The whole aircraft registration scandal is just unfortunate yet intriguing. The Rivers State Government fell prey to poor advice and this is the simple truth. I feel sorry for the governor who has been super mired in the minutiae of this brouhaha and must have been taken aback by the emerging facts and the damning implications. The truth is

that the Rivers State Government does not qualify to register its aircraft in the United States. The eligibility criteria set by the US Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) as retrieved from the US FAA website on May 2, 2013, which is still valid as I write is that:

"An aircraft is eligible for U.S. Registration if it is not registered in another country and it is owned by:



1. U.S. citizen as defined in 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 47.2.

2. Resident Alien (foreign individual lawfully admitted for permanent U.S. residence

3. U.S. governmental unit or subdivision

4. A non-citizen corporation lawfully organized and doing business under the laws of the U.S. or one of the States as long as the aircraft is based and primarily used in the U.S. (60% of all flight hours must be from flights starting and ending within the U.S.)

5. An aircraft may be registered only by and in the legal name of its owner.

The eligibity criteria is very clear, and as it is evident the Rivers State Government or their advisers understood that the state's aircraft was not eligible for such a registration. In a smart move, they got an American trustee/trustor in the Bank of Utah Trustees, satisfying the first eligibility criteria. Still, the aircraft did not meet other FAA eligibility conditions - eligibility conditions 4 which states that: "A non-citizen corporation lawfully organized and doing business under the laws of the U.S. or one of the States as long as the aircraft is based and primarily used in the U.S. (60% of all flight hours must be from flights starting and ending within the U.S.)".

It also failed the US FAA eligibility criteria 5 which states clearly that: " An aircraft may be registered only by and in the legal name of its owner." Therefore, the story about trustee and trustor put up by the state commissioner of information only showed clear unpreparedness, because an aircraft can only be registered in the United States only BY and IN the legal name of its OWNER. Therefore, the deal between the Rivers state government and the Bank of Utah is an OWNER TRUST. This means the legal owner of the aircraft is the Bank of Utah, and the titles of the aircraft does no bear Rivers state government. The government of Rivers state is just an 'absolute user' in the period of the trust.

What this means is that the Nigerian authorities actually have no business with the Rivers state government on this matter. Hence, it is the responsibility of the Bank of Utah Trustees to engage the Federal Civil Aviation Authority of Nigeria. That may have been the reason why the FCAA has not contacted the government of Rivers State. The grounding notice will be sent to the OWNER of the aircraft - the Bank of Utah.

Also, the most damning part of this aircraft registration saga is the final condition, which the Rivers state aircraft does not satisfy. Which is that the aircraft must be based in the United States or 60% of all flight hours must be from flights starting and ending within the US. This is clearly the reason why the flight manifest cannot be tendered to the Nigerian aviation authorities. Tendering the flight manifest means that the local flight times and log of the aircraft will be shown and the US authorities will nullify the registration. This is a very obvious fact.

In early 2011, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) ignited a minor firestorm when it temporarily halted approval of ownership trusts as permitted owners of U.S. registered aircraft. The FAA’s action froze many aircraft transactions and cast doubt on foreign buyers’ ability to register aircraft in the U.S. The FAA moratorium was in response to situations in which the trustee of an aircraft ownership trust seemed unable to provide the FAA with basic information as to the aircraft’s operational status. The FAA quickly “unfroze” the processing of ownership trust applications, and over for almost a year tried to fix the situation. It is the pressure of the FAA on trustees, to submit aircraft report that may have constrained the pilot of the RVSG aircraft from submitting the manifest.

The implication of registering a local aircraft in a foreign land to 'preserve value' is that Rivers state public funds is paid to the US FAA as registration fees and taxes. As Robinson Sibe, an online commentator put it: "How can we grow our own aviation industry if we run to the US to register state owned aircrafts? Imagine a province in China going to register their aircraft in US. Imagine a free man putting his wife in trust of a stranger 'to preserve value'."

The other consequence of this registration is that Rivers state may pay hugely for this. First, the US authorities will definitely penalize the Bank of Utah Trustees for registering a foreign based aircraft and manipulating the flight log, and the Nigerian authorities may seize the aircraft as it is an illegal immigrant without improper flight logs and papers.

I do feel and very deeply that the Rivers State Government had been wrongly advised on this matter, but also it will be good to know if the former aircraft which Governor Peter Odili used was also registered in the United States.

However, I think the Rivers state government deserves a fair hearing, even though at moments like this, the oratory of Magnus Abe, former commissioner of information and serving senator, is missed. It is important that all parties thread the part of caution as security in the state remains fragile.

If there is one thing Governor Amaechi has achieved in Rivers state, it is the restoration of order and security, and as the treasure base of the nation, it is important that politicians consider the fortunes of the people of Rivers state while act their drama.

pmc01: As if we didn't know that before now. Why must all these target date lies for stable electricity be recycled over and over.
This is not about unnecessary criticism of any particular Government leaving the power situation better or worse, it is about sincerity and decency.
Why raise our hopes each time with empty promises? Just do what you have to do without making us feel like tennis balls.

What is the difference between December 2013 and first quarter of 2014? The minister is just trying not to give unreliable specific dates. What dont you understand there? He did say that we will get something close. Some of you just post like you are not educated. No offense

This is monumental fraud from the press.

1. Baga is a village, not a modern city. The so called satellite pictures shows a well planned city with good road network. The image even shows some high rise buildings. Incredible!

2. You cannot count 2275 houses from that satellite image. That is a lie only fools will believe. Especially when they have been destroyed according to the report. Another ridiculous lie.

3. The fake satellite image is very inconsistent. Did the JTF move from house to house destroying each one specifically? Because that is exactly how the image looks. If the JTF carried an attack in the town as reported, what you will see is a random destruction. Not a well evenly outlayed destruction. The picture shown is clear photoshop work.

4. The journalists who did this should be castrated! They are enemies of Nigeria!

[quote author=Eko Ile][/quote]And who better to confirm my post than the biggest yoruba bigot on NL? It means am really on point!!!

Jonathan's only true sin is that he is not Yoruba or hausa fulani. 90% of all the people insulting him on social media are Yorubas and hausa fulani. Their true reason is for power to return back to the north. Nothing else,

His second biggest sin is that he is a Christian. Most of those who insult him online, especially here on NL are muslims. Check them out and you will see.

Prof Corruption: http://premiumtimesng.com/news/132165-satelite-imagery-shows-2275-houses-burnt-in-baga-human-rights-watch-says.html

Isn't that a self indicting statement from Human rights watch? If they are restricted from ground zero, how did they get a 185 people and 2000 houses figure they have been peddling. No one is in doubt that some innocents could have been caught in the cross fire. But where did they get 185 from. It is becoming clear they have an agenda!

BarryX: Most Nigerians were quite aware of the bloated casualty figures, That aside i have some pertinent questions to ask from a neutral point of view.
1) If the casualty figures were really not huge, Why budget more than 5 billion for rehabilitation? Who and what are they rehabilitating with such huge amount that can build a power plant.?? How are we so sure that large chunk of the amount release won't be used to finance the activities of this sect and the cycle continues? Please someone should oblige me an answer, it will go a long way. Thanks

5 Billion cannot build a serious power plant. That being said,

1. The government had to react to that initial outrage based on the spurious media report so they dont look insensitive. You have to understand that they are trying to manage both a physical war and a media war here. They are trying to manage public opinion. You cannot fight this battle effectively without public support. That is why the president had to announce an investigation and promised to punish any one found guilty.

It is sad that while the FG is fighting terrorism on one side, it is also fighting an evil and partisan media on the other side. Very sad!

truth4meal: if u must knw thr is a media blackout in Baga. JTF restrict media coverage and the whole village is heavy guarded so the question is why is the government restricting media coverage if thr is cover up plan...this is what Human Rights watch ve to say: http://www.hrw.org/news/2013/05/01/nigeria-massive-destruction-deaths-military-raid

There are two things wrong with your post.

1. There is no media blackout anywhere. Such claims are only spread by lazy media people who would rather sit in Lagos or Abuja and cook up stories.

2. If we, for one minute, agree with you that there is a media blackout, how did the same media get the figures they have been publishing. Your statements are not adding up

nuclearboy: Pity? Face the mirror - its not me or mine that require such but you who laugh at the pain of innocent others.

As its written "full measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over shall men return unto you"!

Morons that revel in the pain of others

Shame on you!!! Evil Boko Aram supporter!
