I knew Kanu personally then when he was in camp and buying Agege bread for his breakfast near our house.

He has the satellite pictures to back his claim.

NELSON Mandela Rolihlahla
Mandela, much loved 94-
year-old icon of the anti-
apartheid struggle is in the
news again over his health.
The world wants to see him
back on his feet again. We
wish him a quick recovery
while we ponder what
would have happened if he
had been a Nigerian leader,
former or present.
At his age, rumours of his
death have become routine.
Two years ago, the South
African government was
castigated for concealing his
illness for as long as it
thought necessary. Criticisms
about the media gag could
have forced government to
finally issue a statement.
It detailed the patient’s
progress, respecting his
privacy, but allayed public
fears about the state of the
former South African
President, who has
distinguished himself with
his care for humanity.
Worries about his health are
global, with millions of
internet users searching the
web for the latest
information on Mandela.
Mandela’s medical treatment
in South Africa raises
important points in the light
of the secrecy of our
governments, the penchant
of government officials for
medical facilities abroad, and
the consistently deplorable
state of our health services.
Are Nigerians told about
ailing public officials who are
flown abroad at public
expense?
Why do our officials neglect
our health facilities and
government officials only
visit them at commissioning
or to commiserate with
victims of major
emergencies? How would
our health system work
when those who supervise it
do not use it?
Mandela would not be flown
to any foreign hospital. He
had series of tests in South
Africa, under the guidance of
“The Defence Force which is
responsible for all medical
requirements and care of
current and retired
presidents,” according to a
government statement,
issued when he was ill in
January 2011. Nothing has
changed. He is still being
treated in South Africa under
the watch of the Defence
Force.
How do our leaders, past and
present feel, when they read
these lines that indict their
parochial policies? Do they
realise the security
implications of their medical
treatment abroad?
Concerns over Mandela
reflect global adoration for a
man who gave so much to
free South Africa from
apartheid. Mandela was
jailed for 27 years for
plotting an armed struggle
against South Africa’s
whites-only government. His
release facilitated processes
that ended apartheid and the
first all race elections which
the African National Congress
won in 1994 and Mandela
became President. He
voluntarily stepped down in
1999.
Nigerian leaders should have
cause to worry about
Nigeria. They are not
building a country that will
adore them as it adores
Mandela, nor one with
facilities that can treat its
leaders even if they suffer
something as minor as a
headache.

payless: Imagine Samuel Eto claiming to be 30 wheareas he played at USA '94 at the age of 17.

samuel etoo didn't play in USA '94

He was the youngest player in france 1998 at [size=16pt]17years, 99days[/size]

souldust: this is not a case of having big industries but how many other economies are tied down to you.

i didn't mention anything like industry in what you quoted.

phecs: South africa is more than nigeria in all angle!1st economical aspect 1rand is 18

this doesn't make the point at all.
If 1rand =18naira as you said, then
1rand should be equal to 10.0632yen.
Has that made south africa better than Japan?
Moreover, 1rand=17.1205naira not 18naira.

1Libya dinar = 7.2018rand.
By your 1st assertion, i guess libya should be the best country in africa.

The question stated that which of the 2 countries is influential to africa!

Economically, south africa is more influential in africa while in military, nigeria is more influential in africa

AKURE — THE Police
authorities have dismissed
Corporal Abudu Alonge who
reportedly shot dead a
pregnant woman in Akure,
Tuesday evening.
The shooting was said to
have been caused by the
failure of the driver of the
commercial car she was in to
part with N20 bribe along
the Ijapo road in the
OndoState capital.
The incident which caused
pandemonium and
distrupted peace in Akure
metropolis for over two
hours occurred around 6
p.m.
It was learnt that the
policeman attached to the
Ijapo police post demanded
from the driver particulars
of the car and after
producing them he insisted
that he should settle which
the driver refused.
Eye witness account said the
driver was heading to Akoko
area of the state in a Nissan
Almera car with number
plate, Ondo KAA 80 AA.
When the driver insisted that
his documents were up to
date, the policeman shot at
the car and the bullet hit the
pregnant woman who sat in
the car.
She reportedly died instantly
before she could be rushed
to nearby hospital and
confirmed dead by doctors.
The policeman took to his
heels and was assisted by his
colleagues from being
lynched by the irate youths
who stormed the major
streets and made bonfire.
Not perturbed by the
shielding of the killer cop, the
youths mobilised and
descended on the police post
destroying it in the process.
They barricaded the road
leading to the station and
demanded that the killer cop
be released.
It took the reinforcement by
Mobile Policemen who fired
gun shots into the air before
the youths could leave the
street and the station.
Police authorities in the state
confirmed that the killer cop
had been dismissed.
The image maker of the
command, Wole Ogodo,
condemned the killing and
said the incident was being
investigated.

Funny!

If she really wanted it to be a burial, she could have allowed them to bury her with the coffin.

musiwa20: goodluck is an igboman . so
what are you talking about..
goodluck has use 6 years there
as an igboman.. stop
pretending that you dont know
that Goodluck is igbo..
who bear the name Ebele.. Igbo
people.. and who comes from
Otu Eke(border town of river
state), an igbo name for the
village of eke .. Igbo people.. Go
to Otu eke and they are
speaking igbo there. so after
goodluck 6 years.. you still want
the president.. i wonder you
people.
Alamieyeseigha an ijaw man
pick a minority ethnic group in
the state as his deputy
governor.. call Ebele goodluck.
Because Alamieyeseigha an
ijawman could not pick another
ijaw man as his deputy ..
Goodluck was honor by his
epkeye people.. when he
became deputy governor of
bayelsa state.
I wonder sometime, how some
of you nigerian think, the rest
of us are fools.
so after an igbo Ebele Jonathan
have use 6 years in power, you
now want to replace him with
another igboman... is that fair
on other nigerian... Goodluck is
from the east.. Yar adua was
from the North. nigeria has only
3 unit. the north were yar adua
comes from. the east where
goodluck comes from and the
west ..

kalunomics: goodluck is an igboman . so what are you talking about.. goodluck has use 6 years there as an igboman.. stop pretending that you dont know that Goodluck is igbo..

who bear the name Ebele.. Igbo people.. and who comes from Otu Eke, an igbo name for the village of eke .. Igbo people..
I wonder sometime, how some of you nigerian think, the rest of us are fools.
^^

they stopped being igbos after the civil war, courtesy of Nigerian government. Do you want to collect only 20 pounds no matter the amount u have in your account prior to the war? They government went to the extent of asking rivers people to add -R prefix to their igbo names and towns.

musiwa don start to dey metamorphosize to kalunomics!

That's nigerians!
We indigenize anything, even act them more than the originators.

If Anyaoku's reason is base on the fact that it is only president from the south eastern part that has never been democratically elected, then that is a big time goof. What about the north central?

A house against itself shall never stand. What the ndigbo need doing is to be united and try to pacify and lobby every other geopolitical zone for their ambition. Letting them to understand the issue of the civil war is gone. Cos that is the problem of many ndigbo even on nairaland. Any small issue, you see them them shouting genocide, starvation and blockade.

Cubans used José Martí as their symbol of independence from spain, The south- western region cited M.K.O. Abiola as the reason for the yoruba to be the president in 1999. Many south southerners cited ken saro wiwa. The ndigbo too should find a concrete reason to back their request and be very serious in unity with the issue.

They can't just sit down and expect the other geopolitical zones to come and be buttering their bread when we all have insufficient butter to add to our own breads

The man hasn't said anything new or strange. Just the reality which we'd already known and needed nobody to remind us.

Abi which kind question be this?

The guy is a pusssy!
He is done with Obasanjo and now thinks he should romance Buhari peradventure he becomes the president so that he can be made a minister.

I still have the belief that had the 3rd term bid of obasanjo been successful and el rufai offered another ministerial role, he wouldn't reject it.

BERLIN (AFP) – An
unexploded World War II
bomb has been unearthed
near Berlin’s main train
station, risking possible
disruptions to rail and road
traffic, authorities said
Wednesday
“The bomb was found
yesterday afternoon on
property belonging to the
rail company,” a police
spokesman told AFP, adding
that the 100-kilogramme
(220-pound) explosive was
dropped by the Allies during
the Second World War.
The site lies about 1.5
kilometres (0.9 miles) north
of the main train station and
the spokesman said police
were still determining how
to re-route road traffic
around the area.
A spokesman for the rail
operator, Deutsche Bahn,
said it was deliberating
whether to re-direct trains
while authorities defuse the
bomb or destroy it in a
controlled explosion.
More than six decades after
the war, authorities believe
there are still some 3,000
bombs buried beneath Berlin
alone, and unexploded
devices are regularly
discovered in construction
work.
In June 2010, a 500-kilo
Allied bomb, thought to be
British, exploded and killed
three German sappers, and
seriously injured two others
in the central city of
Goettingen as they prepared
to defuse it.

The suspect said, “I met them

that they were robbers and
threatened to kill me if I
exposed them.

Hiking the price of the school forms isn't an issue as there will still be JAMB body to regulate the admission into this schools and their admissions.

But the problem i think may arise from this new system if implemented is the school staff now have the power to manipulate the admission base on nepotism, cronysm and bribery. Like it happens in the various teaching hospital schools of nursing.
How does one expect the V.C, registrar and librarian's children to fail the exam conducted by their dad's school?

Seems this is against the ExPDites.

taharqa: Gen Buhari and oda Northern leadas can join d Govt in defeating the DEMENTED BH MURDERERS just as sm leadas in d Niger Delta if they really wanted to or if this was their only focus. BUT NO. They ask d Govt to grant 'Amnesty' to Murderous terroists who are still ACTIVE. I just can wrap my head around that Absurdity of a request!!! They only time Northern leadas hv ALL agreed since d beginning of dis crisis is to attempt to BLACKMAIL d FG into granting 'Amnesty' to a bunch of FACELESS murderers who are STILL killing people indiscriminately!!.... They are asking the President to ASSURE BH terroists to keep killing his citizens till such a time that they hv had their fill and then the state wud FORGIVE them of d crimes they hv committd and d one they wud commit. Who does that anywhere in d world? Shldn't d Northern leada's ONLY interest at dis point be to get, by all means possible, BH Goats and dier many footsoldiers, to: stop the killings 1st, lay down their arms, come out in d open and enter into sm form of negotiatn BEFORE asking d FG to grant them Amnesty, esp as d FG itself hv always maintaind that they are open to Negotiatn afta sm conditions are meant? Isn't that how it was done during d ND crisis? Isn't it hw it is done anywhere in d world? How wud you ask a person to FORGIVE (which is what Amnesty really is) smone for a wrong when that person hasn't even acknowledge d wrong and shown sm remorse BUT is still ACTIVELY doing that wrong? Isn't that d height of SANITY? WHAT DOES SM OF THESE NORTHERN LEADAS REALLY WANT??

every nigerian has his own responsibility by virtue of civic duty. The goverment is empowered by the constitution.
Doyin Okupe telling Buhari to try his best as a nigerian citizen to make a suggestion or innovation to curb the boko haram menace will be better, rather than politicizing the situation by telling the nigerians to ask him what he has done comparing him to Goodluck Jonathan's deed as a vice president acting his constitutional duty.

Emmyk: you of course!! My beards no fear you?

beard?
That means you are the servant(paddler) then. Cos as many as the alfa's beard plenty reach, they are always meant to be servant to Allah and his people.

He said: “Nigerians should ask
him (Buhari) that as a former
Head of state and as someone
who wants to be president
again, what he has done to end
this insurgence in the country.
“Or is it when he becomes
President, he will stop the
insurgence? No, it does not work
that way. He should emulate
President Jonathan who went to
the creeks of the Niger Delta
canvassing peace and dialogue
with the militants of the Niger
Delta.

doyin okupe refused to make sense in the bold part above.
He doesn't need bending two parallel lines to meet before he can struggle to make sense. Jonathan was in power when he went to meet the militant as the vice president while Buhari is just an ordinary citizen now though a former military head of states.

The amount of money spent on electricity generation in nigeria is partially proportional to the megawatt of power generated and inversely proportional to the amount distributed.
