Just to confuse people, this is a set up to make us believe they are after the main patrons. It might be the emir of Kano that payed for the bombs and told them to detonate it in front of his palace. He has paid for the lives of the terrorists killed tonight.

T9ksy: But who's fault was that? So, that necessitate Ojukwu sacrificing hundreds of thousands of civilians to avenge ibo's gratuitous loss!

I thought the whole idea about aburi was to avert a civil war in the country and all the participants were joyous with the erronous belief that they have managed to avoid a disaster but ojukwu knew that was not the case hence his ominous body language.

Oh well, he got the war he wanted...................
Go on.......whose fault was it?

thegoodjoehunt: You can imagine General Abacha running the PTF, building the national hospital, running the FSP program and yet still had nothing like Subsidy removal and Oil was at $12 a barrel. Yet he was able to handle roads, water, education etc.

Yet upon the rise in the amount of production of crude and the rise in crude oil prices. These guys are still privatizing and removing subsidies to run the nation. What a joke.
Abacha did not do anything around my state all through his tenure, prime minister Okonjo is right. The military years was a total disaster.

playboy19: Well, i thought i was the only dumb one around cos i found the interview so insulting. It's a big shame.

The President of Nigeria showed up on CNN, fukced himself in the a55
The Prime Minister followed suit. Isn't that hilarious?
Prime minister in Nigeria? And you are talking about another person? Hide your face in shame!

talk2valen: You actually think this government is trying and where is the filled-cup?
If this government is not trying the country should be in flames right now, with ethnic and religious warlords ruling different fiefdoms. This is a very idiotic country with a more idiotic population hell bent on embezzling everything, even to the extent of stealing from the churches, mosques and schools. The foundation on which this country was built was, and still is very faulty, mediocrity has since relegated meritocracy to the dustbin. The people will have to suffer, until we wander into the right path again, (honestly I dont believe it is still possible)

maasoap: That you were refering to Alams (ex convict)? Bode George (ex convict)? Cynthia killers (in prison)? Henry Okar (in prison)? Iweala's mother kidnappers? Those to me, are the irresponsible ones. Then those that are shielded by power: people like Patience Jonathan, doyin okupe,
For every Alams and Bode George you mention, there are at least 1000 of their types still operating in higher levels and stealing money even today. For every Henry Okar, there are 100 boko haram terrorists, the kidnappers are just hungry small time crooks that wants money to maintain what is left of their poverty stricken lives after Alams, Ibori, Chimaroke and Obj have stolen their national cakes.

talk2valen: I, as a person never dislike NOI but tonight she avoided a question and started telling us way out of corruption. If its not in her jurisdiction, she should have avoided the question completely. She talked about power and oil and yet some people are saying she's just the finance minister and she doesn't even have the correct figure of the number of megawatts dropped in the last week. She's composed but to say she rubbished Amanpour is falsehood. Our leaders are not just getting it right. Let's face the truth. She was comparing us to other developing countries struggling with electricity and she mentioned india and south africa, then she said south africa is better leaving us with india to compete with. Why not mention ghana and some other developing countries that's got stable power? She compared us with mexico and said they lose 25000 barrels of oil to theft everyday and then she said we lose 150,000 barrels daily, what kinda comparism. Abeg our leaders are not just trying. It means mexico got it under control and according to her they've been able to trace the theft to some mafias, who have we been able to trace ours to? Guys listen to that interview again and get the facts. I've listened to it like 10times cos I got it recorded. Where's the power improvement she claimed we had when nothing has changed in most places for a long time? Let's call a spade a spade. This people aren't trying at all, they are just fooling us. Be it any political party or alliance, they're taking us for a ride. #gbam
Its all about perspectives, you are obviously seeing the half empty cup?

There is nobody that can get anything right in this flawed country, the leaders we have now are even trying but we know things can never change, not when the forces of evil outside the government circles are greater than the forces of good. The government can only try to contain the malaise, but hoping to solve it is a pipe dream.

seanet01: Which of my facts can you dispute?
The one stating how OBJ and NOI spent 16 billion US dollars on the power sector without any result?
The one stating how NOI paid out 3 trillion naira to Subsidy thieves when only 300 billion was budget for it.
You really need help
Of course I need help to understand how your brain functions, when it pleases you you will accuse NOI of failing to fix the nations power problems, and running the petroleum marketing sector even when there were ministers and presidents she works for, oya go ahead and accuse her of ordering the Odi massacre!

seanet01: You just shot yourself in the foot.
1. Who constitute the Upper Legislature that is suppose to make good laws? Note that PDP has the majority and could carry its wish anyday.
2. Who is suppose to implement the Laws? The Executive led by GEJ of which NOI is also a member. Have they done that sincerely? If yes why are the subsidy thieves still chairing the PDP even though NOI knew that is wrong.
Oh bigotry is your problem.
Do I even need to glorify you with a response? just look for the conversation we were having, the person I replied knows what I was saying.
Politics › Re: Ngozi Okonjo-iweala To Talk To Christiane Amanpour Tonight by vanbonattel: 12:04am On Apr 17, 2013
seanet01: Bingo.
Look at your illogical and unreasonable post.
Where is the honesty and credibility?
1. OBJ spent 16 billion dollars on power. Not a single megawatt was added to the national grid and NOI was his finance minister.
2. She promised that the cancelled debts will be used to provide more jobs. We all know the industrial capacity utilization of Nigeria today.
3. A whooping 3 trillion naira was siphoned for subsidy when just 300 billion naira was budgeted for it. She was and is still the finance minister. Intelligent indeed.
4. The subsidy funds was looted by The current PDP chairman son though we know who owns the company
A former PDP chairman was also part of those arraigned for the subsidy theft yet our intelligent and sincere NOI is still in the cabinet despite the seemingly frustration of the trial of the subsidy thieves by PDP led Federal government.
Some of you simply have no senses and where you have, your conscience is dead.
When I asked you for proof, I know you will dig up unfounded allegations to support your sinking theory.

maasoap: Seriously, am I supposed to answer your question because it is a very dumb question? The irresponsible citizens are the one siding most corrupt administration in the history of Nigeria, they're the one in our prisons, they're the one either seeking state pardon and amnesty or granting same, they're the one on police wanted lists.
You are wrong on all counts, the irresponsible citizens are very polished in their criminal practice. They are the smooth operating, highly connected, very mobile sleaze balls who occupy very important positions in the forces, politics, business, academia and the civil service. These guys are so irresponsible that they have twisted all the rule books and may never be caught because some of them make and enforce the rules.

seanet01: Wow!
A paragon of intelligence and fiscal tranquility.
Why the comparism with Abacha if not that she is evil?
Intelligence does not translate to sincerity.
Last time i checked she was part of the bankers that wrecked the European economy. Ask Greece, Ask Portugal, Ask Cyprus, Ask italy about her intelligence.
You know why Brazil Economy is growing faster than the whole Europe?
They called the bluff of World Bank, IMF and the brute capitalists parading themselves around of which NOI is a member glued to its inner circle.
Like i said again, Intelligence does not translate to Sincerity and honesty.
Without honesty and sincerity, the world will continue to be what the bankers want it to be.
A flash of hell.
Prove that she is dishonest or change the topic.

ma cherie: I have a Job and a very good one at that. What I don't have is myopic mind that prefers ignore the truth.

Like it or not, the country is on the verge of imminent collapse largely due to corruption in the government. What we should do is fight for freedom and not shamelessly defend evil just because u've got some change in ur pocket! Posterity will one day blame you for your empty actions.
The country has been on the verge of collapse since after the independence. Corruption in now entrenched in the country;s constitution and will not change soon. We chose to be telling ourselves lies that all was well. My biggest surprise is that this country has still not collapsed.

maasoap: That's exactly the duty of a responsible government, to pull as many citizens as possible out of misery. Creation of conducive environment for businesses to flourish, companies to spring up, putting infrastructures in place, soft and low interest loans backed by govt to SMEs. Do you even know responsibility of a govt at all? What about social benefits? Go and read kid.
To start with, are you a responsible citizen? How?

seanet01: You took the word from my mouth.
The same woman under whom the Nigerian Economy rotten to the stage where it is today.
Look at how she was dodging questions.
Gullible Nigerians.
Even CFCFAN fell for it.
Same story since 99.
Wasn't NOI part of the people who ran aground the economies of Portugal, Cyprus, Italy, Greece and a whole lot of other countries with the Bankers.
Under her watch we knew how much was looted under the guise of subsidy.
Some people just don't see beyond their nose.
What a world.
She is just an agent of the bankers.
Bankers are laughing
Workers are crying
Pensioners are crying
Social benefits are being cut even for disabled people
Yet the Bankers are still smiling.
Shine your eyes.
Ph.d does not translate to sincerity.
She is a paragon of intelligence and fiscal tranquility when compared to Abacha administration. Next you will be calling for her sack so that Sanusi will take her position.

ma cherie: No amount of white washing by madam Iweala will hide the rotten state of this present administration. GEJ and his cohorts may have succeeded in fooling Nigerians but they can't fool the whole world. What with unimaginable things like pardoning Alamshuh?

Abeg let me go and sleep jor so I can wake up early enough to go to the office to iron my cloth. Electricity for my side is a forgone issue.

And while some people on NL sit on their pretty buttocks defending the undefendable, please note that some of us are really suffering the rot of this country. let our voices be heard!!!!
Goodluck is doing his best managing a bad situation and the entire thing is not his fault. There are faultlines in the foundations of this country and till we address those faultlines, sustainable development is only but a mirage. Go and iron your clothes in the office, next you will be ironing your wife's clothes in the office, chrging her phones in the office and when you have kids, take them to the office in the evenings to watch kiddies movies in your office........na only you get office.

maasoap: Ngozi is a devil incarnate. Pushed OBJ to pay off Nigeria debt when it wasn't necessary. Encouraging GEJ to save at a lower interest rate and at the same time borrow at a higher interest rate. Paid 300billion naira annually as fuel subsidy under OBJ but paid 3trillion naira under GEJ without questions. Keeps comparing Fuel price in Nigeria with non oil producing countries. Who does that? Evil person.
What is your qualification to talk about international economics, okada riders should not become internet critics.

ichidodo: Amanpour is wicked o! In her intro speech,just to press home a point, she showed a video of gej given a sermon in church and all of a sudden there was power outage in the church. Lol Gej don suffer but on a serious note NOI is a firefighter,in her you can see the movement, the attack, the coordination and i salute her finesse in handling Amanpour. One thing i garnered from the interview was that we as nigerians have a long way to but there is nothing happening here that is new under the sun as far as the international community is concerned. All we have to do is to close ranks and work together, we wil surely get there. Peace out.

Ojukwu's pose shows that he knew there was going to be war whilst gowon's was clearly that of relief thinking he has just

manage to avert a civil war in the country. Infact, everyone there looked relieved except ojukwu, who despite been

surrounded by all these smiling and jokey faces, couldn't bring himself to crack a smile.
If you lost 30,000 defenceless children, mothers and teenagers to a brutal murdering spree while Gowon and others looked on for 4 months, you will be cracking a laugh with him?
