Paroh frey

you see, most Nigerians believe that freedom of press includes the right to lie, to cause insecurity, chaos, tension and instability in a Nation so please let's enjoy this freedom. Let's enjoy this democracy. The people have spoken and in a democracy, government officials can only do the wishes of the people who are the real government. Take a poll on this thread and you will notice that the majority does not favour your view.

Long Live the Sahara Reporters and may their plans for Nigeria be realized!

If I get u right, you mean Sahara reporters is destabilising Nigeria or what?

Some people are just downright ridiculous about PRAYING for an EVIL MAN. . .to do what? To come and destroy the little of the pathetic life you have left?? So, this man is allowed to directly and indirectly kill thousands of people in Gbaramatu, other areas of the Niger Delta, the Boko Haram joker and his followers, and several thousands dying due to no access to effective and good health care (the type he gets in SA and Germany), accidents due to bad roads that have not been fixed, maintained or constructed while money has been allocated and stolen, the hapless youths who out of frustration turn to a life of crime and are summarily executed in the process, the several thousands in the prison system who are awaiting trial for several years and the several of them who are killed and never accounted for! How about the frustrated ones who cannot get a life in Nigeria, cannot or failed to get a visa and embarks on a perilous journey to cross into Europe via North Africa, and the several who are not accounted for??

Nigerians praying for this KIND of MAN and his ILK have no fear of God, are wicked, down-right ignorant and should share in this man's afflictions! Wait a second, does any FOOL think God is STUPID? There are mad men and women who eat from the dumps and are sick as a result, yet their sickness is not this terrible! If this fool and his ilk were doing their job, the scavengers will live a better life. You Mr./Mrs. Ignorant Prayer Warrior will spend more of your productive life making a change rather than releasing bacteria into the atmosphere! One man has all the resources for 150 Million+ Nigerians, he denies them these resources and puts several of them to punishment, but guess what? The same God you stupid and blind pharisees pray to has kept those afflicted ones and will keep them while the rich and stupid man will be in his grave much sooner than the 150 Million+ people who are suffering!

Now, did this kind of disease(s) just jump on him today/last week/last month/last year?? When he was destroying his organs with smoking all what not and other bad habits, did he even think about tomorrow? That tomorrow is here now. . .as you lay your bed, you gotta fucking lie on it! YaraDoNothing was living a lie, fooling himself, grandstanding on a game of squash he had no intention/capacity to even sit and watch, talk less of playing! Has he repented of this lie? Yet YOU FOOLS are praying! Nigerians are really STUPID. . .especially those who pray blindly and happen to be in the MAJORITY! Truth be told, Yarastupid needs to resign ASAP, apologize to Nigerians for lying to them and wasting their time, make peace with Allah he has been pretending to be visiting every few weeks in Saudi Arabia, spend the rest of his days showing and making love to his wife (if he is capable except of course, this woman hates him for she doesn't care about his life) and their children. This is the advice you need to give to him now! Your stupid and baseless prayer is a colossal waste of God's prayer bandwidth, a waste of your time and those of us who read it!

I am with you.

I'll rather eat those meat up there than the meat infested with chemicals over here.

No matter how hard they clean it, its still dirty.

I heard that KFC chickens have cancer causing substance [carcinogen] in it. BE CAREFUL WITH 'EM CHICKENS

Typical Nigerian. defending, indefensible.

Yes, he should resign. How many Nigerians that are dying of the same ailment right now without opportunity of flying out of the country at the expense of our commonwealth?

we should not conclude matters that we dont know,God may decide to change his present state.i think that is why He is God,no one knows His ways.

Me i tire for this Naija people and God o. Who be this God sef?

Pres. Spokesman, Adeniyi says Pres. Yar'Adua is Responding to Treatment 
Posted 26,Nov. 2009

President Yar’Adua is responding to treatment at the King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. A release by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Communications, Mr Olusegun Adeniyi, indicates that President Yar’Adua complained of left sided chest pain on Friday, after performing the Jumat prayers on Friday.

Olusegun who brandished a letter from the President’s Chief Physician, Dr Salisu Banye told State House Correspondents that preliminary medical examinations suggested acute pericarditis, an inflammatory condition of the heart. It was then decided that he should undertake the confirmatory checks. He says the President is doing well in the hospital even though he did not partake of the Hajj.

It was a press conference designed to send rumour mongers out of business.
The special adviser came with a letter from the chief physician to the president, Doctor Salisu Banye on why it became necessary for the President to go for another round of treatment abroad.

State house correspondents could not let him go without answering questions. First if the President is aware of the strong rumours back home that he may have died and how he feels about the rumours, about his health condition anytime he goes abroad for check up.

The special adviser said it is not clear when President Yar’Adua is due back in the country but he will update Nigerians on the situation.

@omo ibo,

Do you have to descend so low in your response?

Charles Taylor has denied the charges against him
Former Liberian President Charles Taylor has said he was duped by Nigeria into being arrested and facing international justice.

Mr Taylor was speaking at his trial on war crimes charges at the Special Court for Sierra Leone in The Hague.

He is accused of backing rebels in Liberia's neighbour Sierra Leone, who committed widespread atrocities throughout the 1990s.

He had left power and was in exile in Nigeria in 2006 when he was arrested.

Mr Taylor now says the president of Nigeria at the time, Olusegun Obasanjo - who is currently a United Nations peace envoy - told him lies that caused him to be arrested.

CHARLES TAYLOR CHARGES

Violation of humanitarian law: Conscripting child soldiers
Crimes against humanity: Terrorising civilians, murder, rape, sexual slavery, enslavement
War crimes: "Violence to life", cruel treatment (including hacking off limbs), pillage


Preacher, warlord, president
Mr Taylor was living in exile in Nigeria in 2006 when US pressure to put him on trial for alleged war crimes increased.

Then, Mr Taylor suddenly disappeared while Mr Obasanjo was on his way to Washington to meet his US counterpart, George W Bush.

Then, equally suddenly, the Nigerians announced that they had arrested Mr Taylor for trying to escape.

The former Liberian leader told the court on Tuesday that Mr Obasanjo had earlier assured him he could leave the country freely.

He said Mr Obasanjo had lied to the world when he said that he, Mr Taylor, was trying to escape.

Mr Taylor said he hoped he would live to look Mr Obasanjo in the face one day and ask him to tell the truth about what happened.

All over the world we all know that states run TV are for propaganda purposes. In Nigeria information minister is always the head of NTA and influnce their editorial. In advance democracy like UK (BBC) and the US (NBC ), the TV stations there has editorial independent they may have their political leaning but they can still criticsice their Govt.

Lets not forget that to complain or criticise a Govt or a company, is a gift that if you put the criticism into use it will benefit your Govt or company in the long run.

some four white men"!!! what happened to "a group of four foreigners, or eurpoeans or americans"? is that politically correct?

You too tay for abroad. Is there anything called political correctness in Nigeria? But I see your reasons.

A tiny restaurant on a north London high street is not where you would expect to go to learn about traditional Nigerian culture.

Sandwiched between coffee shops and bowling alleys, the Nigerian Kitchen is easily missed.

But on Saturday mornings it is turned into a training school in the customs of one of Nigeria's largest ethnic groups - the Igbo.

We were the victims of a 'pro-education' drive

Ebere Nwosu
School's founder
In one corner of the room, a bespectacled teacher, Alex Tetenta, talks lengthily about Igbo political customs.

Mr Tetenta is a radio presenter and politics graduate currently writing a book on Nigerian democracy.

He is surrounded by a handful of attentive young men, all Igbo, who have grown up in London.

Michael's family hails from Abia state in south-eastern Nigeria.

He is here, he says "because learning about my own culture gives me a sense of pride, something to hold on to, instead of just the Western stuff".

At the other end of the room, the school's founder Ebere Nwosu instructs a group of women in cooking egusi soup.

Dried chicken bones sizzle in a pan of palm oil. Red pepper, bitterleaf, and ground crayfish are laid out on a large steel table.

Lack of pride

Ms Nwosu, dressed in a striking yellow traditional dress, is a legal practitioner.

She grew up in north London and says she set up the school to resolve a lack of pride in African culture.

"I think a lot of us who have migrated from Africa to the UK or the United States tend to neglect our culture and adopt that of where we are, which is wrong."



If you want to marry an Igbo man, you've got to know how to cook egusi soup

Ebere Nwosu
Does she think the neglect happened as newly arrived immigrants tried to assimilate?

"My father is a solicitor and my mother a social worker. Not an ounce of Igbo was spoken to us as we were growing up. They spoke it between themselves, but never spoke it to us children. We were the victims of a 'pro-education' drive," she says.

Igbo culture and what sets it apart from the surrounding Nigerian culture is stressed again and again on the course.

"Egusi soup is a very common soup amongst Nigerians. There's a way in which the Igbos prepare it in comparison to the Yoruba - we don't put as much oil in our food, and we use more vegetables," Ms Nwosu explains to her students.

Each course lasts six weeks and comprises Igbo custom, history, arts and crafts and, of course, cuisine.

"If you want to marry an Igbo man, you've got to know how to cook egusi soup. If you can't cook anything else, at least have that under your belt and you're through the door," laughs Ms Nwosu.

Roots

Igbo culture has given rise to many great names.



Most students are of Nigerian origin
Olaudah Equiano, one of the most prominent Africans involved in the British movement for the abolition of the slave trade, was believed to be an Igbo.

Other famous Igbos include Nigerian writers Chinua Achebe and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, as well as British athlete Christine Ohuruogu.

Kate Njoku has been following the course for six weeks.

"I wanted to learn more about my roots and my culture. I grew up in London and I've only been to the village in Nigeria where my family comes from once, when I was very young. It's a full course that teaches the language, the arts and the history - so I thought it would be perfect for me."

But not everyone here is Nigerian. Students come from the Caribbean and southern Africa as well.

Diana is from Zimbabwe but is going out with an Igbo man.

"It's time I learned how to cook Igbo food. That's the food my boyfriend eats. We've been coming to this restaurant for two years, buying take-aways. It's best I cook from home," she says.

To say what? Yara is clueless believe it or not, this man has nothing to offer Nigeria. Maybe 7 rubbish agenda.

because they honestly need help - i live amongst them and i can see their buffonery- male and female, their emptiness.

You are really retard

Reps move to establish Nigerian Diaspora commission


By Tordue Salem
Monday, November 2, 2009
ABUJA—The House of Representatives has slated for second reading a Bill seeking to establish a special Commission for Nigerians living and working abroad.


The Bill is sponsored by Chairman, House Committee on Diaspora Affairs, Rep. Abike Dabiri-Erewa and 16 other members of the Committee.
The Commission when established will mobilize Nigerians living in foreign countries under one productive umbrella.

Some of the functions of the Commission will be to provide a data bank of Nigerians abroad and mid-stream their efforts towards nation building.

The legislation states in part that “It is a designated Commission in Nigeria charged with the responsibility of coordinating and providing an organised system of collaborations of Nigerians in Diaspora for their contributions by identifying, preserving and mobilizing the human, capital and material resources and expertise to the general development of Nigeria”.

The Commission seeks to establish a board that will comprise of a Chairman that possesses “not less than 15 years experience in Public Service”, with a representative each from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Nigerian Embassies, Consulates and Missions qualified in that regard for not less than ten years, and employed in the Civil Service, not below the rank of a Director”.

Even clueless National assembly can see that Nigerian abroad can add something to the country.

@ Tosh Acer,

We simply want to know. Maybe some of us also will decide to immigrate and leave Naija as empty as it can be.

You meant to say emigrate, Emigration is the act of leaving one's native country or region to settle in another.
Poor you.

it is now getting apparent that no matter where you reside in life, you can still be a dullard. cant people read and understand?

What is ur point? hater!

Watch this and tell me if this is a fault of Diaspora for this unarmed man to be shot?

@ehie

people still talk abt infrastructure as the means of development go to India are they perfect ? plus the idea of building industries are all of the old economy,wheter we like it or not no country can compete with China in terms of production so we have to embrace the new economy,ie people like Mark Zuckerberg in their tees and shorts vs black suits.

By "New Economy," we understand this to mean a national financial and economic infrastructure characterized chiefly by the predominance of services and technology (i.e., intangible assets), and the abolition of the former infrastructure of physical manufacturing and industrialism (i.e., tangible assets). Hence, the "virtual" economy of computers and electronic commerce replaces the "old" labor-intensive economy involving manufacturing and the movement of physical commodities. Think of it as the ascendancy of the virtual over the real

You are seriously deluded, how are you going to achieve that? By shutting down universities, spend less on schools?

P.s: Nigeria been "corrupt" is so over rated!!!
Atleast Madoff isnt a Nigerian

And where is Madoff? I think people like you need to step out of Nigeria to know that Nigeria is a hell hole. I LOVE NIGERIA BUT NIGERIA DON'T LOVE ME.

Ex- president, prime minister and the incubent are standing trial at the moment, the likes of Chirac as the poster mentioned, Euid Ommert former prime minister of Isreal, Berlusconni of Italy and Alberto Fujimori of Peru.

Why can't you leave your contact details? so that they can get in touch with you.

nigerians do u not know that when you disgrace your own outside you equally disgrace yourself.

Why not disgrace him/her outside if I don't have opportunity to express my view at home?

Sharapp there, you son of a thief. Your people finished Nigeria the day they decided that all they can contibute is looting upon looting. Shameless rogues.

Calling me names is not what I expect from you, but due to ur lack intellectual I can just call u an idiot. Back to my question, which of the tribe u belong to?

Two Yoruba, 3 hausa, 0 Igbo, 0 Niger Delta. This is how the thieves share the loot. One day go be one day.

You are a tribalist scum, tell me if their are no thief in whatever tribe u belong. With people like you spouting this type of hatred against other tribe, we can as well say good night Nigeria.

In as much as there is fredom of speech & opinion,i will rather say that abuse of such expression is to be curbed.,govt has absolute power over everything but when such power is threatened,then,it is not power at all.,no matter what,yaradua for now is the president so he's in charge, Some information although can be very good when disseminated to the public,but interpretation of such information differs in all individuals.Example,the rwandan genocide started as a result of incitement of the populace by a radio presenter who was later sent to jail.,i am not saying shutting down ait is ok but if it will keep the country safe.,i guessed it will be a better idea afteral the united state does regulate the media despite being the most democratic country

What's your point? Did u watch Focus Nigeria at all?
