^ Says the red G-string wearing sissy.

^ Isn't that obvious you morone?

^ Would have loved to continue this discussion and prove how I arrived at my conclusion but the subject is much too morbid for me so I'll pass at this time.

koruji: So all we have to do in Nigeria is find the most "comfortable" combination of religion for the presidential ticket, and we'll be in el-dorado?

Nigeria as an entity is the definition of madness i.e. doing the same things over and over again the same way and expecting a different result each time.

Wasn't that the same calculation that produced OBJ & Atiku, then Yar'Adua & GEJ - and still left Nigeria's stomachs empty!!!

How about we reform the structure of the nation so that no single person, no matter his religion or region, has enough power at the top to hold Nigeria down?

Blablablablablabla. We know what Nigeria is and her problems, we don't need Professor Koruji to remind us. The OP just presented a realistic permutation highlighting the prospects of a candidate, do you agree or disagree? Don't bore us with your frustrations abeg.

@Topic, Oshiomhole remains the most underated politician in the country IMO, I don't know whether to attribute it to his pint size or his region. I agree Oshiomhole can be a joker in the hand of the opposition but somehow, he tends to be overlooked when the chips are down even though not a single ACN governor can stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

Jarus: Is Jonathan the alternative?

Not necessarily, but when juxtaposed with Buhari, GEJ stands head and shoulders above and that's why GEJ won the last election - Most of us that relentlessly campaigned and voted for him were well aware of his shortcomings but for want of a better alternative, it had to be him - Ribadu and the ACN never stood a chance. GEJ symbolized a kind of "paradigm shift" a shift we are about to reverse with this nonsensical call for Buhari's presidency under a massive, massive coalition. Even I, I'm licking my lips at the prospects but the calls for Buhari is making me retch!
One would think Nigerians would start playing with notable, intelligent and respected names like some have mentioned Fashola, Ezekwesili, Sanusi, Ribadu, Utomi, Duke et al but what do we have? Buhari! simply because he controls the brainless heads of millions of al majiris in the north! WARRAHELL. Next we'll be rooting for IBB because he commands respect in the entire North and large parts of the East and I'm assuming that'll make perfect sense to you as well?

The Police would know better than to dump bodies in a river, it is standard practice among Nigeria police officers to dump bodies in mass graves and pour acid on them before burial, moreover if those bodies had bullet wounds (which would be probable if they were killed by the police) the cause of death wouldav been determined long ago. My guess is they were corpses abandoned in a mortuary dumped into the river by the mortuary operators and here we have MASSOB doing the only thing they are now known for: Seeking attention.

[quote author=GARRI (x7)]Thank You my brother. Even Sahara reporters has a story (with pictorial evidence) that is very similar to Blim's story!!

Pics don't lie!!![/quote]Sharrap Gbawe, that was @blims story on Sahara Reporters.

ludot: If you call supporters of Buhari, 'legions of ediots'. What will you call yourself that resorted to name calling on a forum where everyone else is making sensible contributions. It is people like you that get voted into the senate and be throwing chairs when they get there.

If I throw a chair and it lands on Farouks head won't you thank me? Anyway, Nigerians need hard words, subtle ones do not make any impression. I find it difficult to accept this endorsement of BahaRi by Nigerias youths.

karl max: I don't have to follow a hypocrite about. Cos is only a hypocrite that would complain about an overcrowded train that we didn't have for 20year until last year and turn a blind eye when he sees molue operating in lagos were people hang on the door mouth of lorry after the so called introduction of BRT.u can only decieve your kind. Gaylord !

Buhahahahahahaahahahahahahahaaha! The *l*o*r*d of them Gays? LMAO!

^ Shut up Gbawe! and quit whining about being followed around you pathetic g-string wearing sissy.

payless: You are a religious and ethnic bigot roaming around nairaland for no other purpose other than to bury your head in the sand and hope for the best. If you continue to do something and fail each time you do it, why not just try something else? I use that analogy to compare PDP to any other major political parties in Nigeria.

The moment we throw bigotry out of the window, Nigeria will start to achieve greatness.

^ The moment we throw common sense and purpose into the head of Nigeria youths, Nigeria will make progress. I can't believe young folks are rooting for the same set of people that are responsible for the nations current state. Buhari, Shekarau, Rochas? Seriously is this the best you guys can dream?
Call me a bigot or whatever you like but as long as the best you can wish for your country is Buhari, then I stand head, shoulders and feet above you.

The writer is simply pathetic. I was expecting to read tales of noisy or broken coaches or even a non functional rail line but was shocked at the writers pettinness. What has this got to do with GEJ and the transformation agenda? The rails work and that's all that matters, the lapses observed are administrative and a reasonable writer would start thinking of writing petitions and drawing attention to the incompetence of staff of the railway service instead of trying to take shots at GEJ. IMO, this piece is more an endorsement of GEJ than anything else, I'm sure you've not seen pictures of trains in India have you?

^ Tell me how many commercial cities are carved up like Aba and Onitsha? All you have to do to get to Asaba from Osha is cross a bridge! Spending billions for an airport when one is just a stones throw away makes no economic sense whatsoever.

Afam4eva: Don't forget that an airport is also meant to be generating revenue and it won't be a totally bad idea to have airports in these commercial cities. These cities have to be made complete with these infrastructure. Tell me how many commercial cities in the world does not have an airport.

Abagworo: About 30,000 Imo indigenes in Aba shoe cluster reached agreements with Rochas on relocating or opening up branches in Imo State. http://www.spyghana.com/okorocha-to-relocate-over-30000-indigenous-shoe-makers/

He has done a lot in infrastructure. If you left 2009 you will neither recognise Orlu nor Owerri now. Infact Orlu will surprise even surprise himself as it measures up to many State capitals.

http://www.vanguardngr.com/2013/02/urban-regeneration-how-indigenous-contractors-gave-orlu-a-new-face/

Why is he poaching existing businesses in Abia state? why can't he initiate his? Does he lack ideas or is he simply short of initiatives? That's a minus IMO.
Orlu is his zone and I honestly expect no less, Woulda been awed if you were speaking of say Okigwe. Haven't been to Owerri lately so I can't say how massively or not he's impacted the city but bare in mind that Owerri has always been among the top 5 cities in Nigeria, I wonder what the new things he did are.

Wadeoye: I voted for Buhari and sincerely I have never voted for PDP and will never. Are you saying you are better than me considering anything even when you dont know who I am?

No Sir, I never said I was better than you. You only confirm you're among the legions of ediots along with countless al majiri's that chant sai Buhari even though they were in nappies when Buhari held sway.

HNosegbe: So the question every reasonable Nigerian should be asking is: Which engineer in the Ministry of Works certified the work as OK?

I expect the Senators to call for the Works Minister, present the findings of the post-assessment work and ask him to defend it.

Can't you read? the repair work was on expansion joints not the foundation as pointed out by @sincere9igerian. Most of those that write all these stuff you all gulp down as facts are prolly just as daft as you are.

Onlytruth: ALl other peer cities (in terms of volume of cash) have international airports, except Onitsha and Aba.
Something should be done about that!

The airports in Asaba and Owerri can be upgraded if need be, those two cities have more pressing needs than international airports.

danjohn: LMAO how can I respond to this. I am not in my 70s I am actually in my 20s. The assumptions I put into the model was an example i.e. a scenario. Many options should be examined and you are free to examine your own options. All I am saying is that it helps to have data when evaluating options. Having data helps you answer questions like: can a candidate win with votes from only the NW, NE, and SW? What percent of votes would a candidate need from the SS and SE? Those are valid questions that need to be answered and a model like this can help. While Buhari has many shortcomings, the reason why many people in the opposition still bring up his name is because he brings 12 million votes to the table at very little expense. Presidential elections cost a lot of money and in Nigeria and if a merger can start off with 12 million votes, they could look for 6 - 8 million more votes from SW, NC, SS, and SE. You dont need to engage in name calling. Debate the topic and I will respond in kind.

Sorry it had to be you but I just had to get it off my chest. The number of times folks like you either through innocuous projections or outright stupidity have brought up Buhari's has simply been absurd. All these tacit endorsements and subtle campaigns MUST now stop.
@bolded, that's exactly why I said it doesn't matter if he's got legions of ediots as supporters.

Congratulations folks. Next time you walk down the streets of London, Chin up, Chest out, Proudly Naija!

And Nigerians earn more respect in the UK.

A murdered African boy whose torso was found in the River Thames in 2001 and whose identity has remained a mystery has been named by a key witness. Former Glasgow resident Joyce Osagiede, who now lives in Nigeria, told BBC News the boy's name was Patrick Erhabor. She claims she looked after him when she lived in Germany before he was trafficked into the UK. Detectives - who named the boy "Adam" - believe he was murdered as part of a ritual sacrifice. Adam's torso was found on 21 September 2001 near Tower Bridge in central London. His arms, legs and head had been expertly cut off. No-one has been charged with the murder. Forensic tests showed he was from the Benin City area of Nigeria. 'Rituals' video A tip-off led to Joyce Osagiede who, in 2002, was living in Glasgow. Officers thought she was involved in some way, but due to a lack of evidence and doubts about her mental state she was deported to Nigeria.
But last year Ms Osagiede contacted BBC News and said she was now prepared to reveal everything she knew about the case. A BBC team travelled to her home in Benin City in southern Nigeria, together with Nick Chalmers, a former detective who worked on the Adam investigation. Ms Osagiede told the BBC she looked after the boy in the weeks before he was trafficked to London and then murdered. For the first time she revealed what she claimed was his real name. She said he was called Patrick Erhabor - and that his mother's surname was Oghogho - and she claimed the child was brought to her when she lived in Germany. In the past, she has told officers she then handed the boy over to a man she called "Bawa" who took him to the UK. Now, for the first time, she has identified "Bawa" as Kingsley Ojo - a bogus asylum seeker who first came to London in 1997.
"Bawa is called Kingsley," she says. There is no evidence Kingsley Ojo was involved in the murder or that he knew what would happen to the boy. Ms Osagiede says he took Adam from her and took him to the UK. Ojo, who used three different identities, was arrested in London in 2002 by officers investigating the Adam case. In his flat they found in a plastic bag, a mixture of bone, sand and flecks of gold very similar to a concoction found in the dead boy's stomach. There was also a video marked "rituals" which showed a B-movie in which a man cuts off the head of a child. Ojo said the video and mixture belonged to other people in the house and detectives could not establish a link between him and the Adam case. In 2004, he was sentenced to four-and-a-half years in prison for people smuggling. While in prison he contacted officers and offered to help with the inquiry. But investigators concluded he was wasting police time and he was deported to Nigeria.
Retired detective Nick Chalmers, who worked on the inquiry for seven years, said Ojo was "someone I've been interested in for a long while - I've always suspected his involvement and now, for the very first time, we have a witness who is saying categorically Kingsley was involved". Kingsley Ojo refused requests from BBC News for an interview, but he has always insisted he had nothing to do with the killing. Mr Chalmers said the development with the name given by Ms Osagiede was "really interesting". But he also recognises she has been unreliable in the past and has psychiatric problems. She is currently taking medication. In 2011 she identified a photograph discovered by the police - and shown to her by a journalist - as the dead boy and said his name was "Ikpomwosa". Ms Osagiede now says that was all a misunderstanding and reveals the picture is "Danny, my friend Tina's son, he lives in Germany". She says it was taken during a party in her old flat in Hamburg. We travelled to Hamburg to find out if she was telling the truth about the photo and tracked down Danny. He immediately recognised the photo but was surprised to hear it had been used by newspapers and TV news around the world. "You said that I was already on TV and I didn't know it," he said. We located Ms Osagiede's old flat on the other side of the city where she looked after the boy she calls Patrick. There we met a man who saw the child. "The boy was running around, he was wearing shorts and a T-shirt and he was jumping all over this couch that they had and drawing on it," he said. The BBC shared what it had learned with the Metropolitan Police. A spokesman for the Met said "the investigation remains on-going and any new information provided to the team will be thoroughly investigated". Anyone with any information should call police on 020 7421 4906 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Modified... With apologies

This guy deserves the nations highest honour than Dangote does. To give your all to a nation that should symbolize your greatest pain takes unquantifiable courage and a very large heart. Great tale of braving the odds.

wesley80: ^At least you were courteous enough to offer an explanation, OAM4J banned me for 5days without as little as a notification or explanation for "tribalism" apparently for mentioning Oduduwa and wussies in one breath. I'm still waiting for a justification of the utterly senseless ban.

I know you Mods have privileges but should you also be modifying peoples posts at will? The bolded is a moniker I've not been able to manage typing for some time so I go with the much easier OMAJE4 and as far as I've seen and heard, no one has expressed any discomfort, so why on earth was my post modified by whoever and the contents attributed to me? If someone with such privileges isn't comfortable with a post I made, why not do the usual hiding of posts? What right do you have to modify the content of my post without my consent? Na your head I take type am? abeg abeg abeg
