take dat: Cheap blackmail and tissues of lies from an habitual liar who speaks on behalf of a government that is pathologically incapable of accepting responsibility. If there are concrete evidence that he is behind the BH scourge, why not prosecute him instead of this campaign of calumny, looking for a fall guy? Is Government trying to abdicate her responsibility of securing lives and properties to the Same Buhari who is accused of being behind the menace? Okupe should tell Nigerians if it was Buhari who granted the likes of Ndume bail, and if he is the reason why Modu Sherrif still remains a free man? Why not send his deputy(Sambo) to do the same just as Yaradua did with him in brokering peace with the ND militants?

Why are you so incorrigibly difficult and impervious in your lifetime youngman? Didn't this same dreaded group appoint Buhari as one of their spokesmen to the FG sometimes last year, didn't that connotes something to you that he has more relevance before this Islamist sect ravaging the north, when violence broke out in the north shortly after Jonathan slammed Buhari's CPC, where were you? Buhari in my own candid opinion remains the right person to broker peace between the sect and FG, yes Okupe was right on this one!

ewet: even you yourself will you live 4eva? Mention one single individual tht has achived as much as this guy politically or hav as much influence as he does since M.K.o Abiola.

Nope I won't live for ever but I am glad you got the concept of my post!

Sweetlemon: Sure, Tinubu may fall one day. Nothing lasts forever. But he would have left a long lasting, solid legacy behind.

Wrong bro, Tinubu is not building any legacy neither is he leaving any legacy behind, he is merely building a political empire and you and I know what becomes of Empires, they eventually implode whether in the lifetime of their builders or after their demises! The same shall befall A.C.N and other projects of Tinubu because their foundation is on fraud! Only Awolowo built and left behind 'poolitical legacy' get it

[quote author=oily-Yoruba]My questions to any sane person here are: how can you talk of "economic revolution" in a place where you won't even allow the best to lead based on merit, rather you clowns operate a quota-based "everything"?

How can you realize "economic revolution" without a heavy-based-industrial manufacturing and not this culture of foreign goods "consumerism"? For e.g, government won't patronize a local vehicle manufacturer in nigeria.

How can terrorists/genocide sympathizers expect to achieve this so called "economic revolution" without starting from the basic task of reviewing the african borders, made in Berlin, Germany? Many questions, but no answers. Conglomeration and agglomeration of battymen calling themselves "intellectuals" Chei! only in the african/nigerian jungle can you find such.[/quote]A statement of FACT, I concur totally

ayox2003: ^ is this Desola Fisher, London?


Frawzey

Yes, she is

That was a smart and nice move from 'Iroko Gbasibe'!

esere826: I do not believe that the major problem with us is corruption
Even if we are not corrupt, I suspect we will still be underdeveloped

We primarily lack effective management skills
With the lack of management skills comes corruption and other ills

If we have effective management skills, we will know what we can afford to eat (corrupt) and what we cant afford to eat.

If you know the science behind a plane, and that if a certain bolt is removed , that the plane is 70%likely to crash. You wont eat the money for the bolt

But if you think the plane flying and remaining the air is a miracle wrought between God and oyinbo, chopping the money for the bolt wont be a problem to u

If our major problem is not 'Corruption' then what will be our problem then, my friend, let's face it, Corruption remains the bane of our development till date, forget about our lack of management skills and if you think some corrupt-minded people cannot remove a bolt from a plane just to make easy money not minding the lives of those flying that plane, then you need to think again!

At the bolded, barbers may not be in their countless numbers as at then but what of now? Don't join issues with me, we are not cave-men and women

[quote author=Omo_Tier1]Absolutely spot on! Every major economic power today has a strong manufacturing base. In fact they have taken manufacturing to another level with precision design engineering and precision manufacturing.

I keep using UK as a case reference with her strong manufacturing base with hundreds of thousand small and medium scale manufacturing firms. This is what make UK a global economic giant.[/quote]This is where the problem is, strong manufacturing bases around Europe within the Asian Tigers and America may be the hub of businesses for these countries but can the same be said of African countries? We have our peculiar priorities which we are most times looking away from! Most African countries boast of Arable lands that can grow different crops, most African countries can boast of natural resources that are only found within that location and no where else, most African countries boast of great tourism potentials which are all left untapped.....and to add insult upon injuries, our system of government are nothing but an extension of our "Colonial Masters" influences on us all via the Bretton Woods Master-plan to maintain a stranglehold on our potentials! We can, I repeat we (African leaders) can chart a workable system of government that will take us there, if Democracy for instance is slowing us down we can think of something worthwhile, time is going! China still maintains her Communism, Cuba is still on Communism, India is still maintaining her 'own version' of Parliamentary Democracy and now they are moving forward but what is wrong with Africans?

Agriculture has been mouthed to be the mainstay of Nigeria right from my primary school days, but the question is this how many Nigerians are willing to tow that path of involving in agriculture even now, the Federal Government is encouraging many of us to embrace Agriculture (via distributions of Fertilizers, cocoa seeds, cotton seeds, subsidies to encourage young farmers) but we chose to look the other way! If more than 60% of Nigerians are involved in Agriculture and yet people still go hungry then we need to re-address our orientation as a people! There are four major Food Basket in the world (US, Argentina, Australia and Israel) with just a fragment of their populations involved in Agriculture and they are feeding the world, the problem with us is us! Even if the government donates N1 trillion yearly to boost agriculture there is still a 'devourer' called Corruption lurking somewhere to swallow whatever the government is supplying! This current system of government (Presidential system of Democracy with too much central powers) needs to be looked into for anything positive to work in this country, the problem with Africa is minimal, but we compound those problems by adopting a system of government that keeps enslaving us through the hands of the evil-machinated Bretton Woods Institutions harsh policies - you can quote me!

muskpeas: Its pathetic, or rather u are pathetic! Boko Haram expressly said that their aim is to eschew western education n fight for a purely Islamic northern nigeria n possibly islamic nigeria...even the reason dey kidnapped d French family in Cameroon,dey said is in retaliation for d French offensive against Islamists in Mali..America never or has never quoted or defended its wars saying its to establish christianity , or even MEND never said their actions was to ensure Christianity or any religion for that matter...so hw is that suddenly Boko haram isn't islamic?? Or has changed their agenda from islamic to sometin else

Preach on brother, I just pray they will be 'liberated from their bondage' very funny set of people! Boko Harams are doing the will of Allah as pencilled down in the Qu'ran by Prophet Muhammad, this is nothing but the Gospel Truth

fatimah24: u r d greatest fool of dis century.

Even from ur name one can tell the greatest fool! Keep enjoying your self-imposed deception; LIE LIE E-LIE LIE!

Akiika: Ignorance is a terrible disease, go cure yours!

The sooner you realised that the Boko Haram guys are the ones doing the will of your Allah, the better for you! Dey there dey deceive yourself and continue to 'tint' your bear-bear and use 10 yards of rag to tie turban on your head as if that will take you to heaven! Original dumbosco

Policewoman: Your post made no sense whatsoever and deserved to be DELETED.

Ngozi, this is offtopic but I gotta say it, you look smashingly beautiful on ur profile

Seun gotta make money through traffic for his esteemed site, however the issue of e-tribal wars are sign that a lot is wrong with this contraption called Nigeria! No matter how you preach, some Yorubas have conditioned their minds not to have anything to do with the Igbos, some Igbos are like that too the same with other tribes. But you as an inidividual reserves the right to say no to these vices and choose to live at peace with your fellow compatriots irrespective of tribes, orientations, colours, religions, background etc

vizboy: True talk @op these nonsense E_tribal war is getting out of hand. We all need to join hands together and put things together cause i beleive if we have a united front nothing can stop us from acheiveing our goal. Including these BH issue

Hatred, discriminations, tribalism, and other vices that antagonise peace are as old as mankind there is nothing anyone can do about that, the more reason the United Nations was established to bring about peaceful resolution to the world but you will agree with me that the world had witnessed series of conflicts in their countless numbers from 1939 when the idea of League of Nations was conceived (which later metamorphosed into the UN in 1945) till now! Just create a peaceful atmosphere first within you, your wife or husband and your children because this world lives on pretense

Sincere 9gerian: I'm too happy to engage in another endless debate today. Provided my last post made you happy, its all fine and good. Let the happiness flow..

Another deserved response from Sincere 9gerian to psychopaths in the house

usayab: you mean the one you voted (2011) is not saying the truth

Even from your 'handle' there is a problem

firstolalekan: OH NO! THE F.OOOL IS HERE AGAIN.

Mr 'Lie Lie E-Lie Lie' I guess I must have struck a chord

Sincere 9gerian: You'r not far from the truth. One of my handsets is dedicated to NL. I may need an antidote to reduce the addiction

Good one bro, in my own case 'I am almost' its indeed a place of fun, education and real exposure Seun did a good job setting up a forum like this at such a time like this! As for you my brother, when the time is ripe, I will personally campaign and lead many Nairalanders as well to nominate you as a 'MODERATOR' you really deserve to be in the scheme of things as far as Nairaland is concerned! Happy Easter to you my brother

Sincere 9gerian: You'r an April fool.
Lol...

I just knew it, he fell for the bait

Sincere 9gerian: Sincere 9gerian=Seun Osewa

Really, you are 'addicted' to Nairaland, no doubt

Eko Ile: The thread really shouldn't have been deleted especially for the weak reason or excuse sited since similar threads like the Awolowo thread are still on the first page with the same tribal venoms and content.


If the reason given was really your concern, then similar threads on the front page or elsewhere on NL should have been deleted too.


This is obviously a selective and partial action on the part of the MOD involved and it makes no sense.

Reinstate the thread and apologize to the OP or delete similar threads on the front page.

See who is talking ***spits***

@ op, this is an eye-opener and a thought provoking thread but permit to say that in Nigeria of today, "corruption remains the single largest employer of labour"

payless: Getting rid of corruption starts with Jonathan putting IBB, Obasano, Abubakar, Atiku, Patience jonathan, Anenih, Mainna, Alams, and many more on trial for corrupt practices. Anything else is lip service.

To be candid you are right on this one, but to be sincere here, if you are in Jonathan's shoes can you do exactly what you suggested above?
