NigeriaNewsdesk just CONFIRMED that Rtd Maj-Gen Law Onaja (ACN) defeats PDP's Sen David Mark with 51.2% lawful votes; declared Senator -elect for Benue-South.

Nigerians are not taking the siddon look approach to things anymore, Change is here, at least i hope it is

Anyone with results from OYO? it will be very interesting to know what is going on in that part of the country

If ACN controls the NASS, i will be less bothered if Jonthan wins or not!

You gotta love those men in black!

THE US GOVERNMENT USED INCEPTION TO PLANT THE IDEA OF JEGA'S APPOINTMENT INTO JONATHAN'S BRAIN.

lmao!!

Lmao!

The US forced the Presidency to appoint an opposition's candidate as the chairman of Inec. .  . . and the President was too stúpid to sign off on his appointment even though he works for the opposition?

Seriously, who's dumber, the one that wrote the piece of trash or those who took it hook, line and sinker?, . . . . . me thinks the latter!

Any time before elections, paid half witted dolts with an access to a media space keep coming out in dozens with the most bizarre, unsubstantiated beer parlor rumors. . . .goes forth to show the extent of the rot in the Nigerian educational system. . . .the whole thing is now a case of "dem say he say". . . .more worrisome is the fact that people of this generation who are likely to be holding leadership reins in the near future, are too lazy or rather too dull to question what they believe.

Nigeria's problem is simply lack of brains!

afam4eva:
Will you let your sisters go into it?

I wouldn't let my sisters or immediate family members do it, not because i feel it is wrong, but because i feel they deserved much better giving the wide range of choices and opportunities available to them.

Most people wouldn't go into prostitution if they had valuable skills and they had someone paying their internet bills, school fees, accommodation bills, gas and electricity bills, medical bills, and a minimum of 2 meal per day.
If you have any of these or if you have had the opportunity to live a life of comfort, then pls shut the feck up!

edoyad:
So you don't see anything wrong in young beautiful women, who could be actresses or accountants, having to sell their bodies so they can buy soap  ?

The world is not a level playground, people have to do what they have to do to stay alive.  Rather than judging harshly on the morality of prostitution, i would encourage you to ask yourself why the world's oldest profession is still blooming till date----one answer--Customers!!!. . . ., there are demands that must be met, gaps to be filled, needs to be satisfied, and just like actresses and accountants you mentioned, Próstitutes are there to fill a gap!

I was fortunate enough to have been born to a comfortable family, enough for me to pursue my dreams, aspirations and interests, I am sure so are you, but hey, we are both in the minority, several people lack the appropriate fundings or skills, in many cases both!. . .these people have to feed and survive, and thrive in a world where the resources are limited,  . . .if all they have going for them is their physical shape and attractiveness and if they hold no moral stick as many of us probably do, then why the hell not?

Even the morality side of it is relative, several girls from well to do homes extort their boyfriends and sugar daddies of money in exchange for séxual favors, several others, in institutions of higher learning, have séx with their lecturers and professors in exchange for passing grades. why do we then Judge those who do the same in exchange for a chance for living and survival?


Immorality abounds in the world, deal with it!. . .the 10 year old boy who sits at home to watch pórn all day is just as morally corrupt as the prosititutes you judge harshly!

^^^

You must be high on some dangerous shyt!

@OP

This is very good initiative from Sahara Reporters, it fosters transparency, and i love this bit

This message supercedes, nullifies, and renders any other counter orders and /or by the incoherent agencies of government who might working hard to steal your votes. May the force be with you all

Prósitution is not a Nigerian thingy, why the unnecessary noise? Someone has to make a living somehow!

It's simply called overkill!

never use minimum force when dealing with the enemy

Naija people and their expectations sha. . . you were actually expecting to sell this ride for 1.3 million?

lmao!

Hand in the cookie jar!

monkeyleg:
Shocking absolutely SHOCKING. Scandelous. I wonder what other wolrd leaders would think of our president, making false claims in his book? Is this how we are going to rebrand and clean up our act?

Anyway, I am not surprised, his best friend and fellow PDP crook Governor, was busy deceiving Deltans that Asaba airport is open for business, so I would say I am surprised. It is in the PDP blood

LMAO!!!

Pharoh:
This i can relate with and confirm because one of them is in the save nigeria group and he is anti goodluck now . I will not believe this whole story until i speak with those guys on the phone and hear from them. They made a mistake by granting interviews to those shameless newspapers that twisted what actually transpired during the interview. I know the three guys personally and i doubt anyone here knows the infighting and the drama this whole thing caused within the group and generally among their set up.

You will not believe the story until you speak with those guys, yet you were so sure that "those shameless newspapers twisted what actually transpired during the interview"

Can you please stop thinking with your butthole?

That Jonathan dude is a crook!

Two separate “Facebook” friends of President Goodluck Jonathan have disputed claims by Mr. Jonathan that his office promptly contacted them to discuss their ideas for solving some of Nigeria’s intractable problems.

One set of Nigerian students based in Finland said they were shocked to learn that Mr. Jonathan prominently used their names in his book based on exchanges on the president’s fan page. In the book, the president acclaimed the students, Dipo Daramola, Oladeji Ikuesan and Adewale Adeyemo for proposing ways of combating crime in Nigeria.

The Finland-based students Dipo Daramola, Oladeji Ikuesan and Adewale Adeyemo stated that there was no contact whatsoever from Mr. Jonathan’s office to further discuss their proposal on how to address the nation’s kidnap crisis.

On July 21, 2010 Mr. Daramola and his friends, who are studying business information technology in Finland, had written on Mr. Jonathan's facebook page that they were working on a project called the GPS gate, GPS trace, and Google Maps on a mobile device to trace the location of mobile devices. They suggested that their research could enhance security in Nigeria and curtail crimes by deploying satellite positioning. The three students told Mr. Jonathan that they did not want to be part of the brain drain from Nigeria, but wished to return to serve in Nigeria provided his government was “ready to support our visions and goals for our great nation.”

On July 23, in a response to the three students, Mr. Jonathan commended Mr. Daramola and his friends, adding, “I am proud of the work he is using his intellect to achieve.” Then the president promised that somebody would be in touch with the students “to explore the possibilities of deploying this technology for use by our security agencies.”

A few days later, Thisday newspaper picked up the report http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/jonathan-to-invite-finland-based-stu, The Punch also wrote a feature highlighting President Jonathan's engagement with Nigerians on Facebook.

But the students said they were dismayed that they never heard from any of Mr. Jonathan’s aides. One of them said they felt “used and dumped by the president to promote his Facebook activities.”

Another of the students told SaharaReporters that a fellow named Reno Omokri informed them, after their fruitless waiting to hear from Jonathan, that he (Omokri) had recommended Mr. Daramola’s post to one of Jonathan's special advisers, whom he did not name. But Mr. Omokri later asked the Finland-based students to send a message to Oronto Douglas, Jonathan’s senior special assistant on research and strategy. They said they never heard back from Mr. Douglas.

Omokri works with the American political strategist, Joe Trippi. Mr. Trippi is a consultant to Mr. Jonathan’s presidential campaign.

After months of silence from the President’s office, the students in Finland heard that Mr. Jonathan had published a book about his Facebook exchanges. “We were very surprised, if not shocked, to learn that we were featured in the president’s ‘Facebook’ book where it is claimed that the Finland students were ‘promptly invited for consultations’. It never happened,” said a source.

Mr. Omokri admitted that, based on his knowledge of what transpired behind the scenes, he did not think that the assertion in the book was accurate.

One of the students, who spoke to SaharaReporters anonymously, said none of them was ever invited to present their proposals. Mr. Omokri said he washed his hands off the issue and had asked the students to contact Mr. Douglas directly.


Mr. Omokri also said he was worried that Mr. Daramola's colleagues were slightly desperate and could have orchestrated a negative campaign against the president over the issue. But one of the students denied the charge, describing themselves as young patriotic Nigerians who were drawn to the idea that Jonathan was sincere in asking Nigerians to engage with him on Facebook to find solutions to the nation’s crises.

When SaharaReporters reached Dipo in Finland, he said he wasn't willing to speak regarding the issue claiming he had a deep personal issue to deal with at the moment.

Our investigations show that the Finland-based students were not the only Nigerians disaffected by their engagement with Jonathan on Facebook. A California-based Nigerian, Toyin Dawodu, said he was dismayed that the president had not taken up his promise to deliver 4,000 megawatts of electricity to Nigeria. Mr. Dawodu was also cited in Jonathan’s facebook page as someone to be contacted to help solve Nigeria’s power and energy crisis. But Mr. Dawodu now said he believes the whole Facebook interaction was a farce. He told SaharaReporters that Mr. Omokri also put him in touch Mr. Oronto Douglas.

mukina2:
its for beaf and sagamite
i had to clean 5 pages of childish rubbish.
until their ban expires any new name will be banned.

Well, hopefully their ban will be expiring soon.  Banning new names is tantamount to locking up Seun's cooking pot.

Nairaland is how the poor lad gets his daily meal, shutting the door against new entries is a life threatening situation for Seun!

satani22:
Thes guy Sagamity is not deserving to be a moderator. a click on his profile sho he / she insult and use abusing words a lot. Poor nairalanders for making unscrupulous a moderate

phew!

The Nigerian educational system is almost non existing!

I thought this thread was locked, someone has probably got a duplicate key!

mukina2:
they've  both been banned.

they will see it out, any new names will be banned until the duration of their ban runs out

You mean anyone registering for a new username will be banned?    on what basis? . . .

DoNotBanMe:
Why do they think I am BEAF? this is unjust.

For heavens sake - this is my IP in far away London.  86.150.144.109

Why will AISHA say I am BEAF who probably posts from Nigeria?

Na wa o.

What an attention seeking dimwit! Grow a fúcking brain cell, no one gives two fúcks whether you are beaf or not, stop spreading filth all over the place!

dannyboy10:
^^^ I don't think you reside in nigeria,if you don then you will know that an unemployed nigerian cannot go and rent or buy a wedding gown to come for an aptitute test to gain sympathy,mind you this was an aptitute test not interview,nobody cares about wat u wear.

and why does she have to go there in a wedding gown?

why not just change to a plain normal dress if she's hell bent on attending for the Aptitude test?. . . .this is nothing short of a sympathy call

aminalib:
awww i can tell that you are the bottom in the relationship

There's nothing cute in being an ársehole, give it up already!

aminalib:
and if you comment on girls sense of dress down to the T and the colors and combination, most would consider you GAY

Perhaps, you should change your circle of friends or maybe even consider relocating.

It doesn't require more than a measure of class, a pair of brain cells and some discerning eyes to see someone dressed for the circuit. The stereotyped picture you attempt to paint is totally devoid of logic!

aminalib:
and you chose nairaland to announce that you are GAY, nice choice

If you think like this all the time, most people would refer to you as being an ídiot

I like the OP, she knew quite well she ain't remotely close to being Hot, but she's got an attitude.   I love chics with an attitude.

@OP

Here's a free unrequested advise tho, i recommend you take an earlier poster seriously and do something about your dress sense.

White shirt plus black skirt is plain and bland,. . . . . .you didn't quite stop at that, you took it a notch further with a black bag and a zebra colored shoe  . . . . perhaps you might have gone unnoticed, but the red colour gave you up.

Lesson!--If your fashion statement aint busting balls, stay away from the red colours!

commissioning an uncompleted project= FAILED!

in 9ja,a committee would have been formed and they will still be fighting over who head the committee would be

This is so funny, yet so true!

Rather than demanding our leaders change and do better . . . they rather pacify themselves with excuses like the one below . . . .

well, in my own opinion, the quoted excuse is rather easier to digest than the one below

Brainless oaf. Development is not about the developed having ''two heads'', and the developing having ''one head''.

The Japanese simply have MORE EXPERIENCE in statecraft and as a modern society than Nigeria. They've been independent for over 2,000 years!!!!! Their history of modern education at all levels stretches back at least 3 TO 400 YEARS, while you got your first higher institution 40 years ago. WHY THE FUK WILL THEY NOT BE MORE ADVANCED THAN Nigeria?? DUMBBB  GOATS. Listen up. If YOU are not prepared to WAIT IN LINE FOR YOUR TURN ON THE WORLD STAGE, instead, coming here everyday to depress people with your nonsense SHIIT, you will have folks like me to telling you to FVUCK OFFF and go FORM YOUR OWN COUNTRY AND BECOME A JAPAN IN 6 MONTHS!!!!! IDIOTSSS!!!!

I can't remember anyone ever saying anything as dáft, no apologies. By this poster's inference, we should wait for up to 400 years before expecting or demanding access to good roads, potable water and standard schools.

I said it long time ago, Nigerians are so gullible and easy to lead, when you push em to the wall, they keep going, no wonder foreigners think we are the happiest people in the world.

omanzo02:
Because I live in Europe does not mean I should expect Nigeria to work like Europe, I use to think why can't Nigeria copy how advance country get it right, not until I got into the system myself and then realises the great differences.  Nigeria's decision/solutions on projects whether ecological, maintenance or development is tied to politic and[b] lack of fund[/b], while in Europe is pure 'solution' without politicking and the fund are there anytime to access without going to the government to beg because every vehicle and motorcycle owner in europe pays an annual road tax that runs into billions of euro's.

So every contruction company whether in Nigeria, Japan, America, Europe can repair that road overnight, its not the technical knowhow that is missing but  decision making ability and fund.

I would lean towards mismanagement of funds as opposed to lack of fund. Nigeria is a damn rich country led by clueless greedy bigots

chei! una wicked o! see as una chop Beef Beaf finish!
