babyosisi: They don't have tribes fearful that others want to dominate them
Neither does anyone chase the other to return to their state of origin
They don't have a section that obey commands from Arabia
There is no checking if you are from north or south
They speak the same language
Many advantages they have over us

osisibaby! Not as if i dont understand ur plight. Ok before the migration of the european to the north american continent, the geography of the continent make us to understand that there were indigenous people in the place. The europeans conquer the resistance of them all. During the slavery era, the Blacks from African continent were transported to the continent to work. The europeans went there to expand their territories, trade 'steal' and make an adventure. Some asians are there as indigenous people and some as traders and merchants.
Those races i mentioned above are different people with different cultures, geographical locations, mentality and melanocyte proportion. Still they belive in one USA.
In 1861 to 1864 they went on a civil war because the southern states (confedrate) thought they can pursue the same ideology with the union anymore concerning the slaves.
13 colonies during independence but now 50 base on the annexation, breaking and financial acquisition of some states. Still they are still waxing stronger in unity believing they are one.

two categories of people: those that have something to say and those who just wana talk!
Mr president! less talk, more action please cos time is not a friend that waits for one.

PRESIDENT Jonathan assured
Nigerians, Saturday, that despite
all challenges, his administration
would transform the country into
one of the most developed
nations of the world.
Jonathan, who spoke through
his Vice, Nnamadi Sambo in
Abeokuta, disclosed that his
government has initiated moves
to transform, the education,
transport, energy and health
sectors, saying that Nigerians
would soon see positive
changes.
He spoke at a civic reception,
organised by the People’s
Democratic Party (PDP) South
West zone in honour of former
President Olusegun Obasanjo, an
immediate past Chairman of the
party’s Board of Trustees (BOT).
The reception, according to the
Ogun State Chairman of the Party,
Senator Dipo Odujirin, was in
recognition of Obasanjo’s
immense contributions towards
the development of Nigeria in
particular and Africa and the
world in general.
Jonathan told the crowd, which
included serving and past
governors, legislators, ministers
and party faithful: “I want to
assure you that we will continue
to implement fantastic
programmes and they shall
transform Nigeria into one of the
most developed countries in the
world.”
He added: “In this regard, I am
pleased to inform you that, we
have already recorded success in
the area of power supply. It is a
known fact all over the country,
today, that there is improvement
in power. This is as a result of
improvement that we are
making.”
The President said: “I am pleased
to inform you that not far from
here, at Olorunsogo, we have
successfully completed the
Olorunsogo power plant, and
that is already injecting 500MW
to our national grid. We have
completed everything about it–
the gas pipeline, the gas
treatment plant. This, we have
achieved, as a result of the
support we receive from you.”
“I am also pleased to inform you,
which is a common knowledge
today, that Mr. President has
taken a necessary step to ensure
that Lagos/Ibadan expressway is
completed and expanded. I was
one of the first persons that used
the road as a corps member
when it had not been opened for
public use. That road was built by
Baba (Obasanjo) to international
standard. This administration has
resolved to bring back the road
as it was and even in a better
form,” Jonathan affirmed.
Apparently impressed about
what the President said,
Obasanjo in response to the
speech stated: “For me, nothing
can gladden my heart better than
when a government in this
country, whether at the local
level, state or at the national level
takes care of the citizens’ need or
even does what is right for the
people. What you (Jonathan)
have said to us today is that the
Federal Government is doing
what it was supposed to do
some years back. It is better late
than never”.
On the reception, the former
President said: “What is
happening here today is unique
because normally we don’t seem
to celebrate our leaders until
after their death. For me to be
here with you and get such
accolades and praises, I thank
God and I thank you all.”
He told the crowd at the event,
held at the palace ground of the
Egba monarch: “Let us identify
icons in all walks of life among
us, so that we can make the
necessary sacrifice to encourage
others so as to move our country
forward.”
He ascribed whatever he has
achieved in life to God, saying:
“Whatever I have achieved,
whatever I have done and
whatever attainment I have got,
God made it happen and the
glory should be given to him.”
All those who spoke poured
encomiums on Obasanjo,
describing him as a great gift not
only to Nigeria but also to Africa.
The National Chairman of the
PDP, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, in his
speech described Obasanjo as a
committed African statesman,
saying: “Though some call him
OBJ, the General or Mr. President,
I want to call him the living
legend of Africa. As we celebrate
the living legend of Africa,
therefore, I want to say without
any hesitation that I am proud to
be associated with this colossus
who serves as a symbol of hope
in the time most Nigerians were
not certain of the future of the
country.”
Some of the personalities at the
occasion were Delta State
Governor, Emmanuel Uduaghan
and his Akwa-Ibom counterpart,
Goodswill Akpabio. The Imo State
Governor, Rochas Okorocha, an
All Progressive Grand Alliance
(APGA) Party was also present.
Okorocha in his speech urged
Nigerian politicians to know
when to stop playing politics and
face governance.
“Let us produce more leaders
instead of more politicians. Party
would not put food on our
tables; only visionary leaders
can,” he said.

why are you also treating nigerians as pond fish Mr Zoologist.
I just cant understand why he will always tried lamenting anytime he gets to an ugly scene as if the rectification of the ugliness of the scene is based on lamentation. We understand prophet Jeremiah also lamented in the Bible, but he did his best by taking steps.
Well, what do you expect from a president that was emotionally voted for just because he had no shoes?
You just came in over 2years ago, i understand, but please do your best. Lamenting is not a solution though we are human.

Apparently embarrassed by what
he saw at Nigeria’s Police College,
on last Friday, President Goodluck
Jonathan could not but lament
openly, asking why people were
being subjected to a treatment fit
for chickens in the poultry.
The unscheduled visit by
Jonathan was a rare one and it
afforded the nation’s number
one citizen the opportunity to
see first hand, the very sorry
state of the institution built some
73 years ago. A very dependable
source privy to the visit quoted
the exact words of Mr. President.
An obviously miffed Jonathan
could not but ask:
“Why are you treating people like
poultry chicken”?
The visit, which was as a result of
a promotional documentary
being aired on Channels TV and
which the president had seen,
lasted less than one hour.
Sunday Vanguard learnt that
when the documentary first
aired and Jonathan saw it, “he
could not believe what he was
seeing”.
It was gathered that the
Presidency could not understand
why the television network could
be allowed to publicise the rot
that had gone on in the
institution for so long.

In fact, Sunday Vanguard learnt
that some mischief was already
being woven around the
documentary until it was made
clear to the president that the
network was in partnership with
the police authorities.
Jonathan was made to
understand that the reason for
the publicity, bad as it may
appear, “is to sensitise corporate
bodies to the massive needs of
the institution, such that when
the Channels’ Forum is held on
Tuesday as scheduled, there
would have been enough
sensitization exercise.
Also, information suggests that,
contrary to the impression that
some people had tried to create,
which was that the documentary
was meant to embarrass the
Jonathan administration, “it was
actually meant to be a supportive
engagement”.
In fact, according to the process
of engagement being instituted
for the partnership, corporate
bodies would not be expected to
make financial donations.
Rather, interested partners
would pick a project (either
rehabilitation of the hostels or
construction of buildings) and
fund it directly for the benefit of
the institution.
Sunday Vanguard was told that
“it was after the president was
made aware of the modus
operadi of the Channels/Police
partnership that he decided to
pay the surprise visit.”
Already, there are strong
indications that the Presidency
would buy into the partnership.
“The president would be very
supportive of any activity or sets
of activities that would ensure a
worthy restoration of the
institution”, a Presidency source
said yesterday.
Asked about the initial feeling of
embarrassment, the Presidency
source quipped: “I do not think
that is the attitude of Mr.
President.
“Mind you, that institution has
been there for some 73 years.
President Jonathan just got to
office some two and a half years
ago; the incumbent Inspector
General of Police is just about a
year and a half in office too.
Would it be wise to blame these
two individuals for something
that had gone on for that long.
Mr. President is the first in recent
history to visit the place; the
incumbent IG has deemed it fit to
accept to partner with the
television network and, but for
that, the massive interest it has
generated may not have
happened”.
Sunday Vanguard learnt that
while Jonathan was airborne en
route Abidjan, the Cote D’Ivoire
capital, for the ECOWAS meeting
on the Mali crisis, he was said to
have caught the sight of an
obviously worried man.

thanks man. USA also fought their civil war, and they stil exist as an entity today waxing stronger in power and finances believing they are one nation.

siddiq202: Is it the course or the school?

both the former and the latter. But i dont know if the latter complicated the former cos i've not been to other schools.
But notwithstanding, the stress is fun

Okene don turn Bamako be dat!
Moreover, that is a omen of 'fire on the mountain'!
Perhaps they connived among themselves feigning waylaid with the bombs they are to carry to Mali. Nigerian soldiers wise, they dont wanna go to Mali to die.

Ehn!

babyosisi: Shebi everybody now wants their own country
Shows you the oneness dey only for paper
Ijaw,Ogoni,etc, everyone wants out that proves The fact that Nigeria is a fraud,thank God someone said it in 1967
This is 2013 and no truer words have been spoken


Can you imagine his main concern was not the loss of his life but the loss of his apparatus
The man is funny

babyosisi! You dont need talking about what hasn't happened but things that are in existence. The future expectation may not come. Since 1914, and you still believe nigeria doesn't exist. Common woman, nigeria is real.

babyosisi: Anybody that died to keep Nigeria one from what we see in Nigeria died in vain
We are not one,were never meant to be one and can never be one the evil day is just being postponed
That is a statement of fact

99years don waka,
we still dey carry go.
Nobody waka
but somebody wan go solo
but baba God no gree.

advocate666: Banning while retainning you as a member is a ploy by Seun to inflate the actual number of people on his dying forum. That way, advertising money keeps increasing. Honesty and nigeria are like oil and water.

i understand seun has turned the forum into a cage where you have a free entry but no exit at all. notwithstanding, why cant we just adhere to the rules of the forum.

azpekuliar: 4! Presently contemplating a 5th.

4/5? Kilode! E dey fetch you money ni?

Just woke up this morning, logged in to nairaland and see if there is any funny stuff to flavor my day. There i saw this topic on the front page 'countdown as nairaland hits 1million members' https://www.nairaland.com/1165684/countdown-nairaland-hitting-million-members/.
When i was reading the comments, gat secrets of many polymorphs like becomerich with uche series, sex killz and co, idowuogbo and other monickers, lucenzo and its other usernames. Ileke idi, ileke oyan and others.
Couldnt helped laughing cos i started to wonder what for. Later i got to realise that many of them were many times banned for their comportment in the forum making them to open multiple usernames.
Little wonder i read some comments with phallangial output with no cerebral processing, also not corelating with the topic yet having up to 10 likes. Then i started wondering how they acquire the likes not knowing they used another monickers of theirs to like their own comments.
To my question, i have just only one monicker and it is TOLEXANDER!

ItsModella: LMAO!! what the hell? is this one person?

no! This is one people o!
Guys are madt here o. Imagine 1 person appearing as 1 people.
Never knew nairaland is full of polymorphs exhibiting polymorphism like a bacteria.
Anyway sha, i have only 1.

larride: I'm presently schooling in Osun State, Okuku to be precise and I can say confidentially that Ogbeni Rauf is indeed working, we have stable power supply, the education sector is revamping, someone above me say the health sector is poor but I dare call him a lair, well to the best of my knowledge, we all enjoy free health care around in Okuku, Inisa and Ikirun with the Government owned hospital working 24/7 everyday. The only people you will see complaining about Ogbeni Aregbe are the NURTW and those PDP members. When i left Lagos Sept last year to resume school, I was seated with two Igbo girls that were posted to Osogbo for their NYSC program, when we reached Ode-Omu, they were asking me if we are in Osogbo, I told them NO, that we are in Ode-Omu, a small town, they were so surprised with the neatness and how developed the place is, they told me that if a small town is well developed like this, then how will the state capital looks like, they weren't disappointed when we get to Osogbo. Though there are still lots that Ogbeni have to do but he has done 110 more than his precedessor. There is room for improvement though. Osun a'dara oooo

majority of what you said are not totally right.
Osogbo and its environment i.e osun west senatorial district has been experiencing something close to an average of 20 hours of power supply per day since the creation of osun state. Besides, power supply excellence is not an accolade that is supposed to be given to the state goverment but the rural electrification which had already been put in place in that environment you mentioned before the inception of aregbesola's government.
About the free health care bill in that area, am not really sure cos the goverment developement provison to its state is not something that should be restricted to a place but should be spread evenly to the entirety of the states, which we are yet to enjoy in Ile Ife.
About the education sector, the only area i can commend him on is the reduction of the uniosun school fees and payment of the busary. Excellent in tertiary education. But not really justified in the primary and secondary education management cos i see no reason whereby pupils in these segments of education will be promoted without the use of their academic performance though the education is free.

Who is gonna be their solicitor?
A goat i guess!

Thanks....

final lesson! Mind you, response to a comment needs additional sense of reasoning and not just application of phalengial digits, i.e always apply the frontal and cerebral lobes of ur cerebral hemispheres before quoting.

An amount of cadmium sulphate powder equivalent to 1g/L of cd^2+ was prepared. 10ml of the solution was pipetted into a 100ml volumetric flask containing 25ml of 0.2% gelatin solution and 2M KCl was used to dilute to volume. 5ml of this solution was transfered to a polarographic cell and id(diffusion current)=2.2microAmps was obtained. After adding 10ml of 0.01g/L of solution of cadmium sulphate analar, the id=3.5microAmps. What is the % content of Cd^2+ in the cadmium sulphate? Justify the 0.2% gelatin solution and 2M KCl in this set up.

Please i need a solution to the question before thursday.
May God help u as u wana help me.

jmaine: What's all the noise on this thread about . . . .A simple and straight forward reason was given . . . .

stay there and be anticipating when it is going to be converted to cash!
What was the fate of those ones they converted to cash? Why can't we shout now until the account is sidelined siphoning it to another account.

outrage: And how is this news?

it is a news cos it is on the newspaper page

Goldenheart: Ya right; keep praying for G.E.J/ F.G n not cussing......

nobody is cussing him but cursing him!
Moreover i dont see any curse in recognising and regarding a madman as a madman. Just like calling a doctor a doctor, that is the case of GEJ and retardeen

@topic! Do you expect any good thing to come out of the nazareth of nigerian subsidy account? Account opened to rob Peter to pay Paul.

Egba girl: Do you still pass it today? Or it was only during your childhood?

ya sorry. Meant i pass the road almost everyday since my childhood. I school in ife and stay in town.

babaolofin: Bros, I know your problem is 2015. Be sure you will get it only if the fulanis you dreaded most allow it.

The fulanis conquered only the Ilorin Town. Afonja was the Aare Onakakanfo the head of the Oyo empire Army. During the reign of Aole (Alaafin of Oyo).He made himself the ruler of Ilorin and refused to pay homage to Alaafin by making himself and Ilorin independent of the empire. The Fulanis came as strangers, out of hospitality culture, he accommodated them and gave them free hand anywhere.They had another motives. They were with him as brothers not as Jihadist agaist him until the war borke out. He sought assistance from the Oyo empire but was refused. Ibadan warriors later defeated them and sent them back. This is the reason no traditional ruler in Yoruba wears turban or Lawani in Yoruba language except the emir in Ilorin. This is just history. On Diya, Sani, Ishaya and Al-Mustapha will explain better.

On the Mayfair roundabout and pot holes from Modake and Lagere roads or drainage. The writer is well done. The roads are okay, maitenance is an ongoing thing. Anybody passing through Ife town from Ife/Ibadan road will notice that these roads are maintained in dry season.

No it isn't maintained, only that no rain falls in the dry season, to expose the bad drainage of the roads. It is somewhere i passed everyday from my childhood.

The guy na TUFACE of gospel music or tuface na atorise of secular music. Cos him own bad pass tuface.
The guy has neva been a gospel musician to me from time cos he only thinks of singing anything gospel anytime he needs money(remember 'mo ti pada sodo re baba').
Besides, who is his producer? Bayowa! Birds of a feather.

Egba girl: Sigh. O se like lati ma jiyan bayii?? It used to exist!!! Like "shade" and what not until they changed it.

i dont talk about things that once existed cos am not talking about history but yoruba alphabets.
Shade, shola once existed just like offa and aiye. Can you write it down in yoruba exam like waec and neco expecting it to be marked just because it existed?
Sh only exists in pronounciation but not in written like english write up instead it is written as a s dotted in the bottom just like a hen sitting on an egg. Unfortunately, it cannot be typed on my keypad here.

Egba girl: The sh sound does exist. There used to be an h after the s but now we jus put the ami under the s as we do for 'e' 'o'

the sh sound exist in pronounciation but not written on book instead written as s with a dot underneath just like a lady wana sit down on top a prick

Ngwakwe: Rather, Nairaland is congregation of people who seek satisfaction and knowledge for daily life update.

Nairaland Politics Section is a display of how politically separated Nigerians are in matter affecting each tribe and how sensitive and selfish man is by default.

nairaland politics as you said is a forum in which every tribe displays the matters affecting them which is politically motivated? Exactly what am saying describing nairaland as a microcosm of nigeria. What is happening on nairaland is an example of what is happening in the daily nigerian living. Just that there is not a common ground in which this happenings are displayed like nairaland. E.g in the yorubaland, they believe igbo people are not people you can associate with base on their selfish interest, likewise the igbo mentality that yorubas are dirty. But all these tribal views have no common ground to be displayed but only in the individual's geographical locations. Nairaland created a political forum in which all the views can be displayed.

lekkie073: in yoruba alphabeth, there is 'sh'. shutuppu

no!
It isn't shutuppu but sotoopu!
Yoruba alphabet doesn't have sh and two consonants don't follow each other.
