@ dr know,
thanks

Any live feeds please?

Is the Ghanaian coach french?

This game looks so one-sided

Ferrer's recent form has been sublime(going back to davis cup 2011)How long he can sustain this remains to be seen.I will pick him to do the damage as much as i would like an all spanish final

babagy82:
boko haram is a religious sect, they never liked politics and can never be used by politician, you dnt knw who boko harams are and yet you keep typing rubbish about them. All what they have been doing is for revenge. I dnt think the govt can tackle boko haram without sitting with them and giving them amnesty, thats the only solution. Why im telling you all these is because im a muslim, im hausa fulani and i'm from sokoto. The boko haram suspect that escaped (kabiru sokoto) i knem him, i knew his house in gagi town. We used to pray together, in short he was my neigbhour (before he became terrorist). Before he packed completely to abuja. Boko harams is just an islamic sect among many sects. I knew about boko haram movements since 2004, i have seen late mohammed yusuf, malam abubakar shekau before. I knw very well about the sect, assuming late yar'adua has not ordered the execusion of their leader in 2009, all these killings wouldn't have happened. And you people that thought boko haram are illitrates should wake up, many of them are masters and phd degree holders, e.g shekau and kabiru sokoto. There was a time when they organised a party called 'bukin kone takardu' meaning 'burning of credentials party' every 1 of them will bring out his credentials and burn them being it bsc or msc. And if you people are wondering why the northern leaders are silent about them is for their own safety. Once u condemn their acts, they will come bak to you and kill you, dats y they are silent and not because they are in support of them. I HATE BOKO HARAM MORE THAN ANY BODY, but what pains me the most, is seeing people commenting on what they dont have knowledge about. All what they wanted is to allow them to practice their religion without intervention, but due to lack of good advisors ali modu sheriff and yaradua ordered their execution thinking they are just bunch of almajiri's dan can be wiped out. and this is how the situation turns out. If their is any body that can translate hausa i will post a video of late muhammad yusuf's lecture after their people were killed by police. Then you will knw who boko harams are, and why they are doing this. MAY ALLAH PROTECT US FROM BOKO HARAM, I SAY AMIn, sorry 4 my poor grammer

You knew about boko harams movement since 2004.If i may ask what did you do with this vital information?

Did you report their nefarious activities to the appropriate quarters?

You claim you hate boko haram with a passion yet you were neighbour's with one of the ringleaders,prayed together e.t.c

In a civilised society with due respect for the law and adherence to justice,you should be termed an accomplice who is/was aiding and abetting a terrorist

My deductions from what you wrote is that you are sympathetic to their devilish acts and please don't sell us that '"I hate boko haram with a passion stuff"

At least the entire prank brought out the sensitivity in us.

Thumbs up to those who genuinely offered to help and prayed.

@mobinga,you had me there.

@poster,not at all funny but God knows how many lives have been touched.

What does the poster mean by 'the only university in sao tome'?Are there not others or could he have meant the only private university?I find it hard to believe there's only one university in the entire country

Very creative stuff from jmaine.Please who are these guys:Dan Etete&Dikko something?

Updates please.

There's nothing covered that shall not be revealed.Gradually light is illuminating darkness

Ha ha (special adviser on facebook&twitter)

Very true and well scripted

@apocalypse

Do you play scrabble?

Guys,
Something isn't right here.For 3 consecutive days the President wasn't at the negotiation table(probably left it for his advisers)but now that the major oil unions threatened to shut down production,he hurriedly assembled this meeting with Governors in attendance.

Why wait this long or is he trying to test their resolve?

Perhaps,if the oil facilities were in SW Nigeria it would have been shutdown(its about the most volatile region with respect to the strike)and the International Community would have called the President to order.Lets call their bluff then

Btw i'm just thinking out loud

Hey,
Is the whole speech in arabic or what's that language?Any translation cos he lost me there.

This made front page why?

Congrats to Pep though i wanted Fergie to win

@leomax,regarding my earlier post and your reply,you know this how?you were a bit evasive

Still waiting for the names of the 18 companies.last i heard there was a bidding process(war),who emerged successful?how many are indigenous?how many foreign?how much has BPE realised?who is playing who?

Any online links please?

There's really more to it than we think.Have you guys not heard that Africa is the last frontier?
The first reply to the topic sheds light into why the citizens of a country should take full possession of their God given resources.
The likes of Chavez,Ahamadinijad,Gadaffi,husein have shown us this in style and class.The question now is if there's any strong-willed individual who will refuse to be cajoled,bullied,or simply bought over in Nigeria.(reason been,people are now clearly selling their birthright for a morsel of meat)

BTW what will the U.S and the west be like if the Saudis were dictatorial in nature?

A real eye opening and thought provoking piece.

I find myself also wondering how a nation that consumes 27million litres of crude oil in the first half of 2011,suddenly consumes 55.8million litres(that is more than double)by year's end.How possible is it for the population growth rate of a country to increase sporadically and exponentially to accomodate the jump in the daily consumption level?

It is sad to note that the national minimum wage of Kuwait is 30 times that of Nigeria.

where have you missed it Nigeria?
Lots of things are amiss in Nigeria

VoodooDoll:
@Tom Ford

I don't think the Military would wait for National Assembly before moving into the area.

The executive arm as CIC may have the power to send the military in and to close the borders before NA ratifies the decision.

The NA would be required though to suspend the state governors powers in those LGAs and to suspend the powers of the LGA chairmen. Does this mean Sharia is suspended in those affected areas?

I appreciate your response.To your question,i believe a declaration of a state of emergency renders the state law temporarily ineffective.
Thanks again

If the declaration of a state of emergency is evoked,the Parliament has to ratify it right?
If that's the case,someone mentioned the Parliament is on recess.

My question then is the time gap that exists before the Parliament reconvenes,isn't that enough headstart for the sect to re-organize their strategies(move out en masse)or are soldiers to be deployed right away?

Can any knowledgeable fellow please respond,thanks

@evil brain,very true but why should number 4 be a hot priority going by the discourse?Rio De Janeiro and Sao Paulo are also experiencing a wave of crime,nonetheless the Lula Da Silva led administration have done their nation a great deal.

One pivotal area i believe Nigeria has it wrong is the choice of leadership. A nation is only as good as the people it surrounds itself with,if Nigeria had ruthless business gurus,visionary thinkers and the likes who are more concerned with how to spread the nation's tentacles then Nigeria would have been cited in that list.

Nigeria certainly needs men like that South Korea fellow(can't remember his name),Donald Trump,George Soros,Carly Fiorina,Anne Mulcahy to effect dramatic changes not the mediocrities who probably have never led a group of 1000 individuals,chaired an establishment with a turnover of at least $100 million nor garnered the requisite business acumen.

Be that as it may,Nigeria seems to be in a quagmire.Very enlightening comment though.

Think of it this way,a reporter passing by joins the onlookers, suddenly the woman gasps for breath and is dead.
Rest assured the next day her pics would have been splattered on the dailies without thinking of her privacy.
The dude went to great extent to save her knowing fully well what that area represents,lets appreciate the kind and noble gesture while learning from it.

God bless you poster.
God bless you lasinoh for highlighting a perceived wrong.
God bless you bluetooth for helping to stick to the morals of the story.

We all make mistakes in life,let sleeping dogs lie.

With the amount the Russian club paid him one should not expect less.Only 2 telecomms in Cameroon?Glo what are you waiting for?
Truth be told,how his investment will wither the storm remains to be seen.At least it will boost the economy.

Keep it up Gbawe.

Wow! that bridge is so fine,the inner city looks clean and well kept.
If the poster had taken the step into setting up a medium size mall or food court far back in 2006,who knows he may have been smiling to the bank but then the buiness climate is quite daunting
