One of the many outcomes of CPC, ACN, ANPP and co merging. You start seeing every dry leave appearing green, everyman just becoming innocent overnight.
But notwithstanding, a bleached dark rat will still retain its internal colour cos only its external colour has changed.

That is going to be a calamity to the economy of our nation which can lead to total paralysis due to the overdependence on oil.
But our government is myopic to examine the effect of this US plan in the long run and will also be clueless to start to consider the next line of action to be taken if US decide to actualise their plan.

aribisala0: Ojukwu?? Guy don't play with me! How can Ojukwu be working for Presidency of Nigeria??Is he not Biafran .Take time O

lol! you arent serious. What is d difference between them?

only God knows which is older between this news and Methuselah on nigerian vanguard!

aribisala0: This is not true people are busy working for it.People like Chinua Achebe and Orji Kalu are working very hard

not only achebe but also odumegwu ojukwu.

there have been a media reaction to the statement anyway.
Comparing their demand to the yoruba's compensation to field two different candidates for the 1999 election is not realy mature enough.
I think they need putting their house in order.

The Joint Task Force, JTF,
code named Operation Pulo
Shield, Saturday, launched an
operation along the creeks
and waterways of Delta and
Bayelsa states, leading to the
seizure of three vessels and
destruction of 362 illegal
refineries.
The operation was carried
out simultaneously in the
Kolokolo, Bisigo, Igbomatoru,
Sagana areas of the two
states.
Also raided by the men of the
JTF were the Ogbokodo
creek and the Ugbokolo area
of Delta State.
Many of the indigenes of the
area panicked at the sight of
armed soldiers and heavy
gun boats, but were assured
by the soldiers of their safety.
The spokesperson for the
JTF in the region, Lt. Col.
Oyeama Nwachukwu, said
the action was new as it is
part of the strategy of the
newly deployed commander,
Major General Bata Debiro.

“The operation led to the
destruction of 362 illegal oil
cooking ovens usually
referred to as local refineries
in Kolokolo area and Bisigbo
in Warri South Local
Government Area of Delta
State; Igbomatoru, in Ijaw
South Local Government and
Sangana in Bayelsa
State,”Nwachukwu stated.
”Three vessels and seven
barges engaged in oil theft
were also scuttled by troops
of the JTF in Opobo River,
Bonny Local Government of
Rivers State and Tomkiri in
Brass Local Government of
Bayelsa state.”
”The operation also led to
the scuttling of 75 wooden
boats (Cotonu boats)
conveying illegally siphoned
petroleum products at
Ogbokodo creek and
Ugbokolo areas of Warri
South West of Delta state.
175 suspects were arrested
in the operation and handed
over to prosecuting agencies
for litigation.”
The JTF spokesman also
noted that the new
commander of the JTF,
Debiro, had unfolded his
strategy to stamp out illegal
oil bunkering in the Niger
Delta.
”The new commander
averred that he would be
highly mobile and fluid in the
fight against illegal oil
bunkering. He stated that
sitting like a lame duck in the
office is not his approach
and had already embarked
on an appraisal tour of
troops’ deployments
including Naval Forward
Operational Bases (FOB) in
Brass, Bonny, and Escravos.
The tour also took him to
Nigerian Navy Ship Delta in
Warri, and to amphibious
troops of 3 and 146
Battalions and 343 Regiment
of Nigerian Army deployed in
Warri, Bonny Island and
Nembe respectively,”he said.
”The commander of the
multi-agency security outfit,
while on courtesy visit to
military formation
commanders, security
agencies and traditional
rulers’ council in Bayelsa
State Capital, Yenagoa during
the week, General Debiro
stated, unequivocally, that his
mission is portrayed in the
four-word directive of
President Goodluck Jonathan
to the task force to ‘STOP
ILLEGAL OIL BUNKERING’.
“Nigeria is the only country
where people engage in oil
theft with the connivance of
our country men and we
must put an end to it”.

Highest Oil-Producing Countries
In Africa 2011
This entry is the total oil
produced in barrels per day (bbl/
day) as of January 1, 2011. The
discrepancy between the amount
of oil produced and/or imported
and the amount consumed and/
or exported is due to the
omission of stock changes,
refinery gains, and other
complicating factors.
#1. Nigeria
Barrels per day: 2,211,000
Nigeria produces 2.2 million
gallons of oil per day, placing
them 12th among producers. But
they are the 4th biggest
exporter, exporting 2.1 million
barrels each day. Much
controversy has surrounded oil
production in Nigeria. Most
recently Royal Dutch Shell is on
the defensive following a $100
million fine imposed by a
Nigerian court for a 1970 oil spill.
Also, past reports show that
militants have attacked pipelines
and kidnapped oil employees,
cutting into Nigeria’s oil
production. Last year, a military
attack in Nigeria’s Oil Delta killed
up to 150 people.
#2. Algeria
Barrels per day: 2,125,000
Algeria produces 2.1 million
barrels of oil daily. In 2010,
Algeria’s president fired the CEO
and top managers of the state-
owned oil firm Sonatrach
following a corruption scandal.
#3. Angola
Barrels per day: 1,948,000
Angola produces 1.9 million
barrels of oil daily, and export 1.8
million barrels, placing them at #
7 on the world’s list of exporters.
#4. Libya
Barrels per day: 1,790,000
Libya produces 1.7 million barrels
of oil per day, while exporting
1.2 million barrels daily. As
violence in Libya currently
escalates, the price of oil has
skyrocketed.
#5. Egypt
Barrels per day: 680,500
#6. Sudan
Barrels per day: 486,700
#7. Equatorial Guinea
Barrels per day: 346,000
#8. Republic of Congo
Barrels per day: 274,400
#9. Gabon
Barrels per day: 241,700
#10. South Africa
Barrels per day: 191,000
#11. Chad
Barrels per day: 115,000
#12. Tunisia
Barrels per day: 91,380
#13. Cameroon
Barrels per day: 77,310
#14. Cote d’Ivoire
Barrels per day: 58,950
#15. Democratic Republic of
Congo

ADDIS ABABA – Ethiopian
Prime Minister Hailemariam
Desalegn took over the post
of African Union chairman
on Sunday, replacing Benin’s
President Thomas Boni Yayi
in the one-year post.
“It is with a great sense of
honour and humility that I
accept the chairperson of
our union,” Hailemariam told
leaders at the AU summit
meeting.
“I wish to express my
heartfelt thanks for the
opportunity to serve this
half-a-century-old
organisation for the next
one year.”
Yayi, the outgoing AU chair,
hugged Hailemariam and
said he will “succeed
brilliantly in his mission in
pushing us forward in our
agenda for unity, peace,
stability and development of
our continent”.
Hailemariam takes over at
the AU just five months after
emerging from being a
relatively little known
politician to run his nation
after the death of his mentor
Meles Zenawi.
A protege of Meles,
Hailemairam has managed
an apparently smooth
transition with little major
change in policy from Meles,
who had ruled with an iron
fist since toppling dictator
Mengistu Haile Mariam in
1991.
Hailemariam, a former water
engineer, has defied critics
who feared instabilty in
Ethiopia, taking over
leadership of his country in a
rare peaceful handover of
power for the Horn of Africa
nation.
Before becoming prime
minister, Hailemariam was
president of Ethiopia’s
Southern Nations,
Nationalities and Peoples
Region, and was appointed
to be deputy prime minister
and foreign minister in 2010
after the ruling coalition
party’s fourth win, a
landslide victory.(AFP)

this is no more coat of arm but tattoo of harm sorry tattoo of arm!

also Adenuga resigns as the ceo of globacom.

but these guys were part of the past administration.
El Rufai tried his best in the beautification of the FCT, but he still had some flaws. While Ribadu turned himself to a political weapon to witchhunt the opponents.
Wondering how they grew up to be a critics and saints.
But i think Buhari's stand on the 2015 presidential election should be properly verified cos if not. I pray he wont just emerge after the consensus agreement between the opposition parties has been reached to tell us he still wants to contest.

guy! You aren't serious. You understand yoruba, you are only pretending.

it is simple, you said federal estates which belong to the federal government. They own the sole responsibility to renovate them. Eni ti o ba bi omo oran ni o ma n pon(he that gives birth to a disabled child bears the responsibility to take care of the child)

they are still meaningful to him anyway.
But I DEY LAUGH O!

taharqa: Plz, always learn to keep yr mouth SHUT if you do not know what you are talking about. Its actuali a Virtue..

try to learn how to respond with sense.

[quote author=~Bluetooth]Some lecturers are also involved and have use their positions to coerce students into joining cult groups.Cult activities go beyond the students as its ripple effects is evident in the society at large.Almost every politician in Nigeria belongs to one cult or the other.[/quote]ok! Just as if am naive of the campus cultism cos it is not really pronounced in OAU.

students are to be blamed. Cos one is a product of ones choice. Nobody forces another person to be initiated into a cult if one comports oneself and act justly. It is a matter of choice.

to me, the privitization seems to be rubbish. Cos there is no difference between the would be PHCN and the new handlers cos it is just a another way to sell the Nigerian masses to the rich men(highest bidders and political allies to the goverment) .
What is the essence of privatization with no competition? An area given to the extortor to monopolize its power and start to squeeze the area's scrotum as he likes.
We want the telecommunication type of privatization.

babyosisi: Angola is a white country
You have a point here

SMH

angola is an African country, southern part of the continent.
How are we so sure the Angolan president daughter, 40-year-
old Isabel dos Santos, is not like the situation of Mohamed Abacha. Cos African leaders are something else with money.

please, can we gat the transcription in written?

short cake and okin.
Mum used to give us when goin to skul back then in nursery/early primary skul and it was being sold for #2 then. But we would prefer to be given #1 so that we could use it to buy baba dudu/pupa, loli, eyin alangba, ajemumi, gudigudi and co. The funny thing though i dont do it again(cos maturity don show) is that we would rush the woman selling them and pack all the above mentioned snacks and keep them telling the seller we only took one snack giving her #1 for the snack we showed her.

Dede1: Above post is a case of failure in life talking about imaginary failed leaders.

can you please answer my question sir?
Is nigeria a failed state or not?

Eziachi: I am afraid, Nigeria was created and programmed not to work.
Things will continue this way until everybody answer their ancestor's name, then go home and fix, everyone his problem, with no one to blame anymore.
That why I am up for any waste now that common people some how benefit from, irrespective of how small the benefits are.

no human society is created to succeed due to many individual differences, even twins seldom get a disagreement but understanding is the solution.
Each individual answering his father's name is not even the 'final' solution. Just like the issue of two brothers that decided to fight their uncle cos he selfishly claimed their father's land. When the land was retrieved, the twins then had to face a bigger task of how the land would be shared.
If the nation is broken along its tribal planes, does that mean each tribe won't have to face it's internal differences? E.g somalia which is still considered to have an homogeneous society

what about the 13year Egyptian girl and sani Yerima?
Since it isn't a rape, the pronounced jugdment is stil fair enough. But his orientation concerning women should be changed.
Wondering how religion is misguilding some young people when it is meant to liberate them from evil and ignorance.

theolar: From Sagamu in Ogun state we have ifokore or ikokore ( waTer yam porridge)

ijebu i guess?
Mum seldom prepare the food but i dont really like it anyway though every member of my family likes it.
May i know how it is prepared?
