Well said ADA EJI EJE MBA, ADA DI ORA MMA, thats the spirit of sportsmanship. All of us knows that u are more qualified to be there except for international politics. And for all of you shouting madam subsidy, it amazes me that it is only when this woman speaks that u remember subsidy removal. There is no one in nigerian economy management team that wasn't in suport of subsidy removal. Let her be for God's sake. In her last public address she admitted that govt acted in a hurry on the subsidy isue.

mamasani: most of the southerners who have biases have never ventured away from their comfort zones. most just based their perception of the north from newspaper reports. it will surprise many to know that the igbos are all over the north, even on the islands of lake chad! they provide such essential services as plumbing, electrician, vulcanizers, patent medicine stores, etc. and they will never leave the north, division of nigeria or not. the yoruba is there too, and most have been assimilated into the regions they settled. the north has its problems, as the south has. so it is high time tribal bigots as well as religious bigots get over their prejudices, the better. if northern leaders missed developing the region, its because they were busy placating the southerners! Hw would they leave there there comfort zone and travel to the north with all the boko haram threats and the killings and maimings of southerners in the north. Just a small bomb that went off in sabon gari area of kano which is dominated by christian southerners and the hausa muslims are in wild celebration. Am in the north but wont encourage anyone to come to the north, atleast for now. We are not one nigeria as we claim. Prove me wrong.

As a southerner who have stayed in the north for more than a decade and have also traveled almost the lenght and breath of the north, i wouldn't blame any southerner who believes that the north are all hausa and that they are backward in everything good because; 1. One hardly hears about all this tribes in the north onlike the south where the smallest tribe is well known. 2. This tribes are under the dominance of the hausa/fulani which are the most barkward in education yet the are learned. 3. When ever there is crisis, this christians don't always come out to condemn what the hausa muslims are doing out of fear. So how do u gain recognition without speaking out?

Nigerian politics. The agenda of the writer of this article and the person that printed/copied it is the same. To whom it may concern, IMO IS WORKING

If the security report is all about the PDP capturing back the SW as u said, i think the should have targeted Lagos where Fashola is creating more waves the Osun. Is Aregbesola the only ACN gov in the south west? Is Osun the only state controled by the opposition? Why not address the issues raised on the said report other than politicising it.

@olaheavy, are u heavy upstair or downstair? It seems like ur upstairs is too heavy to produce anything good. Bach to topic, i reside in kano and wasnt far away from the explosion site yesterday. The truth remains that in as much as few muslims does not suport violence out of human concience, majority of them suports/sympathises with boko haram especially when they target christians. When ever there is a bomb explosion in a church or violence directed at christians, they celebrate it either secretly or openly that is why i wonder wheather islam is truly a religion of peace. The bottomline of the whole thing is, there is only one PRINCE OF PEACE and except u allow him to reighn in ur life, u cant have internal or external PEACE wheather u call urself a christian or u are a muslim. His name is JESUS CHRIST.

Reading through all the write ups from muslims(those for and against boko haram) since this boko haram menace started both quoting from the koran to suport their judgement, two things comes into my mind, it is either there many types of koran or the original version of the koran is being hiden or better still, somebody is not telling the whole truth. ISLAM IS PEACE THEY SAID. Where are those advocating for amnesty and monetary settlement for this guy? Hope they read this and understand what they mean. Is all about distracting the president and islamising naija.

Amen Mr President, the invisible power that brought u into the helm of affairs of this nation and chose u over the people that think they are more qualified will make it hapen. With God, all things are posible.

Buhari; 2015; another blood of nysc members is about to be wasted because his second name is looser. Come to think of it, so nobody is able to rule this nation except this old politicians that kept us in this mess? Where are the youths?

What a wonderful sugestion and entataining answers, the northern military rulers draged us into IOC, SLS introduced islamic bank, boko haram wants us to practice sharia system of govt where christians will be subdued and forced to convert to islam and somebody here wants us to change the oyibo man calender all in fevour of islam. All for the propagation of islam.

This manny4life or loser4life bores me! mtswwww... Ndo

I dont just understand the nigerian mentality, must u alwaz criticise every thing that this woman says or does just becos u hate her even when she's saying the truth and offering the way forward. Even if the president descides to forfeit his salary, what of the 109 senators, honourable members, state govs, local govt chairmen and me and u that alwaz see any govt apointment as an opportunity to get rich quick. The woman just said it as it is. Our present constitution drafted by the military is our greatest enemy in this country.

If it was Jim that was nominated, some ppl would have been here shouting haleluyah, they have nominated Ngozi, this same ppl are shouting. Ride on ma, this is an addition to ur CV.

@true2god, i think u are mistaking me for someone else, please check my post very well. Thank u. @baba_eleko, stupidity is an act of displaying ur uncultured atitudes in the public. I just pray that u will realise what u are doing in time and change before it is too late. @topic, what would ACN have done if the president have renovated the church with govt money before the burial of his father? What hapend when Obj lunched a library project and there was donations from all over the world? It is well known all over the world that the best critics does not always profer a better solution.

Am not suprised at the insults directed to the Most Rev. Okoh for trying to air his view and corect the ACN in this isue. If u have not been insulted as a man of God, it means u are not following the MASTER because even he himself was insulted. The church have every right to suport the govt because that is what the bible says (Rom. 13).

skullbaba: If truly nigrian leader including the presidency knew nothing of BH, how come a suphisticated weapon like a rocket is found in the core north. Where are our customs and immigration services paid with the tax payer money. And on every weapon made by a company there is always a registration numba of the company and a specific weapon, the sss and other security operatives should requset from the company who bought it from them and later how it enter our country. The nigerian-niger republic border is too porous that anything can come into the country through it but you have a good point there. If the security operatives realy want to work.

This is turning into tribal war. Why must it be always the igbos? Only God knows where this country is heading to.

Aka Chukwu di ya.

Nawa oo, girls, never u marry a guy that his family doesn't accept u, it is a suicide mission. Just an advice to whom it may concern.

I am ashamed of this so called Ekene dili Chukwu general manager. His coments shows that he cares for nothing other than money. One of the girls confirmed the violation on leadership news paper and here is he demanding medical report from the parents. All these transport coys always take their customers for granted.

The other day it was Lawan Keita and today Adamu Ciroma all looking for a mesiah frm the north that will cleans the polity the helped to destroy. Guys, the north is up to something sily and GEJ better watch out. There is no smoke without fire.

Stupidity is an act of displaying ur uncultured attitude in the public thereby becoming a nuisance to the public.

Imagine threat fr6 a divided north. Babangida said he will fight again to keep this country together even at 71 and look at this man saying that nigeria might not even survive till 2015. He made the first threat and live up to it, this is the second one, may he live up to it and this illegal mariage of 1914 colapse.

This woman is in a position where all of you enemies of progress will not even dream of till you die. It is indeed an honour 'a high one at that' to be nominated in the first place wheather she gets it or not. Everybody's dream is to come to the peak of his/her carreer and to her as a former MD in the world bank, that nomination speaks volumes in her carreer. Ride on Ada Biafra, we are proud of you.

I think kano is jst reaping what they have been sowing over the years. So many innocent blood wasted through riots after riots (91, 95, sharia riot, 2001, 2004, post election violence) i witnessed some of this riots and it surprises me how people celebrate the death of there fellow human beings and the destruction of their property jst becos they are not hausas or non muslims. I pray that God will have mercy.

It is better for us to slightly move apart and survive than come together and perish in the collision. Ikemba. Let us try this option.

Am ashemed of some responses here, are these words from the so called leaders of tomorow that will change nigeria? It is easier said than done.

Boko haram is fighting to dismantle the security system and establish an islamic state and some people are here shouting amnesty. The same people that labelled Ikemba a terorist for fighting for equality. What an irony. It is better for us to move slightly apart and survive than come together and perish in the colision. TRUE FEDERALISM OR DIVISION

Ndu chuks how far?

All i see in some replies here is tribalism which have been the bane of nigeria development. Thousands of lives including CORPERS were wasted in the north last year just becos Buhari did not win the last election. People like Buhari and co shuld be behind bars in a developed country for crimes against humanity Tunde Bakare inclusive but here you are sugesting him to change nigeria. The only solution is for us to move slightly apart and survive than to come together and perish in the colision. TRUE FEDERALISM OR DIVISION.

Who told S/A that there is no crisis in naija? When BH is killing ppl on per second billing and isuing threat after threat, make they leave them jare, some northerners are even seeking asylum in Niger, Togo and Cameroun.
