FORGET THE STYLE OF WRITING. JUST READ THE SUBSTANCE AND GET THE MESSAGE IN THE WRITE UP.
I am no fan of dele but in this write-up he has raised issues of fundamental importance in the polity.
Pple should leave sentimental verbosity and stop jumping on the band wagon of criticism like blind pple and reason like sane individuals.

THE ONLY LOGICAL REASON GUSAU WAS REAPPOINTED IS TO PREVENT A COUP. he is a brilliant intelligence officer and everyone knows he did very well under obj keeping the millitary in d barracks. Mukthar cannot be trusted to prevent a coup since his loyalty is clearly with yaradull.
Its not about all these jos crises nonsence. They only used it as a smokescreen.

INTELLIGENT MOVE BY GOODLUCK.

wat makes u think u will see him when all the ministers, govs and senators couldnt see him. Na only turai u go see for saudi.

former president obj and acting president jonathan were said to have had a secret meeting last night. Obj was trying to guide jonathan in the right direction.
Jonathan is doing the right thing IMHO as obj is the best person to advice him.

so who will clean d toilet for aso rock and clean turai's as.s? May ojo madueke should b seconded there.

@ MARVIX, u are the confused one here. When d president is absent the vice president acts for him but he is not the acting president. They are two different things.
unless the incubent president tranmits a letter to d NASS, he cant be sworn in as acting president hence he doesnt have full presidential powers like appoint or sack ministers, swear in govt appointees or even sign the budget or make major policy decisions.
That was why everyone was shouting for yaradull to send a letter so that jonathan can becom acting president so that he can be empowered to take major decisions.
U will notice that as soon as he became acting-p he reshuffled d cabinet and swore in d perm secs.

if at all there will be a vp to jonathan it wont be dora because she's a southerner as well as the acting president. Someone from the north, maybe yayale ahmed.
I also doubt david mark will be made vp because he is a christian just like jonathan. It will probably be a northern muslim.

Of these are just how the polical permutations are done in present day nigeria, not that its in constitution. It will be political suicide for jonathan to choose dora or mark as his vp.

so becos pdp didnt win d election, it has suddenly becom free and fair and the best election ever.
They suddnly turn a blind eye to d numerous attrocities that took place. More than 50% didnt see their names on the voter register and so couldnt vote but its ok because pdp didnt win.

Several apga loyalists were caught with lots of ballot papers but its ok because pdp didnt win.
If pdp had won these same pple will come  here and be scream blue murder but now they throw away their last ounces of morality, fairness and honesty and say halleluyah cos pdp didnt win.

You should all cover your heads in shame.

1. none of those pple calling her names has been able to point out what she has done to lose her credibility they just come to talk rubbish without substantiating what they say.

2. Abeg the woman try jo! e no easy to do what she did and she should be commended for it. No other nigerian in history has done this b4.

3. For all those questionin this story, it is all over the papers-thisday, punch, tribune,etc. Y dont u check their sites and confirm for yourselves.

@honoric or whatever ur name is, its not Yoruba, its yoruba ok? Yoruba doesnt exist.

@honeric and katsumoto u dont need to insult me, i only asked a simple question. Its true im ignorant about it thats y i asked anyway.
Any true ibo or igbo or Igbo in the house to simply explain d difference to me.

abeg wetin be the difference between IBO, IGBO and Igbo? When i was growing up in lagos we used to say omo Igbo, all these Igbo people, Igbo this Igbo that. But suddenly its now ibo or igbo. Its pretty confusing. Im sure even some ibos or Igbos are confused themselves.
Just choose one and lets call u by that.

@hollandis didnt ur pastor tell u that u will die b4 obj? Idiot.
And that fool talking about dialysis, yaradua already had a transplant hence d dialysis was stopped. Silly idiot.

3. Obj chosed yaradull based on his track record on integrity and his safe disposition. Most of d other pple available at that time were all stained one way or the other. Its a pity yaradull doesnt have both d intellectual capacity and physical wherewithall to rule this complicated country. In that regard i feel obj failed this country but there was no better person at that time.
4. That obj came out now to tell yaradull to resign show obj's strong character and love for this country.

1. it was within obj's political and moral right to endorse a successor. Mandela endorsed mbeki and zuma, tinubu endorsed and virtually imposed fash on lagos. History is littered with leaders who endorsed successors.
2. Obj didnt impose yaradull on nija he just put him forward as d pdp candidate. It is true d election was flawed but it was quite obvious there was no way any other person could have won it even if it was totally free and fair. Pdp had d most widespread campaign, 4x more than any other party, they are more rooted in d lenght and breath of d country, how wont they win? Even most pple here on NL will confess they voted pdp, not buhari or atiku. Im talkin about thse who voted o. If u didnt vote u have no moral right to question obj since u abandoned ur civic responsibilities.

after many years of military miss rule obj was able to help nija negotiate the bend and head in the right direction. U may not like his style but fact remains we were making progress when he was ruling. progress may not have been as fast as we expected, he may have fell short of all our expectations but he is not totally as bad as some ignorant dummies are claiming on here.
ONLY IF HE HAD CONTINUED IN OFFICE NIJA FOR DEY FAR BETTER THAN THIS.

is the wife a south african?

ok its official, nija plays zambia. Will be tough but we should be able to beat them especially if we play d trio of osaze, martins and ogbuke upfront.
Our defence looks stronger now that we have shittu, apam and echiejile so we should be able to handle their attackers fairly well.
I believe we can get 2d final if we beat zambia as we wud meat either angola or ghana in d semis. Since both terms arent particularly so good then we should be able to handle them.
We are likely to play ivory coast in the final and if we are lucky on d day we just might beat them and win the cup, u never know.

it is amazing how pple come on here to show total lack of brains, stupidity and incredible heights of ignorance. how can u say glo left nfl to sponsor d epl when infact glo, for many years spent millions on d nfl until recently when they fell out with nff. Abeg they don try make another person sponsor nfl
The new deal with man u has enormous potentials to aid our football if properly used since it will give our youngsters huge access to worldclass facilities in d uk, which they can only imagine in their dreams or see on tv. And d money no be for to sponsor man u alone, its deal that benefits both parties, albeit moreso nigeria and glo.
Some fool asked how many man u players use glo line. This is an idiotic and primitive way of reasoning. Its nauseating to read comments like this.
Finally, wats wrong if glo uses this as a marketing gizmo and goes global? Is it not d dream of any corporate body to be a global brand? Shouldnt we all be happy about our own local brand shooting out globally?
Abeg think first before u type pus on here and make complete fools of yourslf. End of ranting

My own b say make he no eat mango with garri o, i hear say e dey kill person.

No hope. Forget it.

Go back to 100 level and try again with another course. Maybe u can come out with better grades but this time u have to be serious. Ok?

@okonoba, fifa did the MRI before the competition started and even fifa vice president jack warner came out to say all the players currently playing in the world cup passed the test. Dont tell me he was bribed by nfa.
Its ok to suspect our boys because of the history of age cheating but when the only scientific means to determine the true age of these boys has cleared them, then we av no choice but to believe. Enuff said.

@okonoba, nobody is encouraging cheating but didnt u hear dat all those who were above 17 were expelled from the team and fifa mri cleared these ones remaining in the team?
Football gives us pleasure in nija so we should enjoy and encourage d success of our teams n not pull them down at every opportunity.

and what are the officers' names?

he really looks sick. Very sick

na wa o!

some pple just come on here and display an awsome degree of ignorance. abeg if ur not informed abt anytin dont even start to debate on it.
@sojiabolar, so if we av problems wit electricity then we shouldnt try solvin other sections of our lives? Abi? pple on this forum av reeled out d benefits of this space program so its not an exercise in futility. Wat we shud hope for is for it to wk out well.
How u can say its only in nija we hear of teachers goin on strike is beyond me. South africa is more advanced dan nija and pple, includin teachers go on strike every day.
