I have been to both places
Calabars fame is fast dwindling
Imoke has no plans to make the place remain ever green
Even Tinapa which Duke laboured for is fast shrinking in beauty due to poor maintenance culture

Owerri, with a more focused governor, may steal the show b4 long.

There is no real need to join issues with SR
Every body knows their stock in trade
Hunger will surely erase them from the face of our earth
They are worse than gossip nd soft outfits

Good jab from Fani Kayode
Good fight can be executed from either side of the divide
We know he once belonged. We also know the extent he fared
We also know he no longer has a bite on the pie
What we are not sure of is what is propelling him now
Anyway we lost Aburi. But Gowon , still, thinks otherwise. He needs a better psyche
Unfortunately Gorbachevs who can preside their own balkanisation are rare
So its naive (I am using this for want of better word) to expect GEJ to succumb to pressure on SNC
Even though we need it, as Kayode pointed out, its a difficult task
But the BH saga can serve as a pep to embolden our president
After all the entire South (where he comes from) & the North Central will be the greater beneficiary .

This is coming rather late
Most Nigerians need to wake up
Since the apex court knew the import of this case it shd have given it accelerated hearing
The other 2 lower courts shd have done same

I like Mark for invoking Doctrine of necessity @ the correct time
Thats how to be proactive
Thats how to be effective
Thats how we access responsibility index
Tombo wal. MD Abubakar & co shd borrow "leaves" from David Mark

@ Betathings,

Its not abt tribe
Its not abt personality
Its abt cultivating a good habit
Got that !

@ Betathings,

Insulting isnt same as criticizing
Even if you have penchant for criticizing we have both constructive & destructive angles
The choice is yours to make
But please allow us to air our observation
We are expecting better things, you can always express yourself without being vulgar

People have , since , learnt how not to believe on spins from Sahara Reporters & their sister Pointblank news. They just fabricate stories
One of their articles "CONFIRMED" that the alleged mastermind of Mandala bombing was re-arrested

Our problem did not abate during OBJs rule--or did it?
While not trying to belittle his stature one expects sterner inputs from him
I felt v happy when I read of spirited attempts by OBJ to initiate discussion with BH

I also know of Soyinkas efforts towards the end of Niger Delta amnesty talks
Why is he using the reverse gear now?
How does he believe that govt will handle him with kid gloves when he has pitched tents wt opposition?
David mark sounds more positive

Let him start pilot project of what he has in mind with Tunde Bakare in his state
Or he has the choice of re-packaging himself
The silent input from Achebe speaks more loudly
Laureates are not only in opposition.
If he believes he has become more popular than when he formed a party he can stage a come back
I hope I havent offended some people

We must understand that all pots have black bottoms
Its the degree that differs----has to do with whether one uses firewood, kerosene or gas

Finding Mr Lot within our Police is a tall order

Oputa is a straight man
Cleaning-up what he condemned is an uphill task

Any way, since a new broom sweeps well, lets c
We will continue to remain prayerful
We hope all eyes will remain on him & will not allow him stray

@ Olawaleba,

Hope our official language remains English language & not Panya

Typical WAEC objective:

How was baba Fugu killed after Obasanjo`s visit?

A) Police robber bullet
B) Nyako`s voodoo specialist
C) Assasin`s bullet
D) Natural death
E) Blasted by a bomb

More kites are flying
What are we talking about?
Its not everybody that had no shoes early in life
An Admiral in the Army & an Architect working with Shell can COMFORTABLY take care of their kids
And for those who care---they do not need any ministerial job to do so
We should beam search lights @ correct places instead of blinding innocent people
How many of us remember that Gov Chime was accused of impregnating his wife`s sister?
It made a headline.
& many people believed that
How many people now know that Gov Chime has slammed a libel suit on the funny originator of that hoax
Not many people have time to digest all they read on NET
Pointblanknews told us (2 days ago) that the police invited a voodoo man who helped catch their escaped high profile case
Still in doubt----here is the link :

@naijaking1,
I like the sprite in u---as our good people say
I hope we will continue to be on the same right page.
Really I am not vouching for any one but things should not be said wrongly
Ugonna has explained himself brilliantly
My kid & kindergarten mates once flew in a chopper while on excursion
We didnt even pay anything extra
The kids teachers didnt even solicit for that
Life must go on

@naijaking1
Thanks for lighting their mood
From which books did you lift that one?
Or are you just trying, by all means, to assist them.
U be beneficiary ?

@maasoap
People, both very rich & middle class, have been living their lives
No need to suggest tailors shd doll out the measures
Its because of the net & counter attacks by those who believe that Ugonna`s mum has blocked their source of amassing wealth that we are inundated with all these.
They have tried so many tricks in the past----& failed
We know they are powerful & are not done
We know, too, that a lie told severally ---be it in different ways---never turns to be true

@patriot2
Difficult to appreciate what you are saying
Up your game a bit

@barakolee
U shouldnt have aired your outburst  since you visited only grade C country , probably India where Rischawalla (=horse drawn keke keke napep) are used
Some West African countries use flat boots as taxis-imagine what they use as air port taxis.

Ugonna has, brilliantly, answered the paid pictorials
We are expecting the next script since we know the haters have more in their arsenal

But shame on them----a young graduate just used a one page document to deflate what they laboured to build over times

Next please.

What of the Doyen of Oil Ministry----Rilwani Lukman ?

I de laugh like Obj & his friend Atiku
Somebody just flew a kite & u guys are looking for ways to knife yourselves on-line
I tot NLanders are educated lots
Dont you know we can have August visitors in June & April fool crackers in January!!!!!!!!
We hv confirmed that more people are now having multiple names which they use against GEJs govt
The cabal is, by so doing,@ least investing part of their loot in Naija-Haaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaablaaaa
All I know is that our culture forbids insulting WEALTHY people---because if they catch you--
-you will be forgotten in jail 4 m 4 mo 4 mon 4 mont 4 month 4 months 4 monthssssssssssss
If you doubt tell the witch @ Endor to ask Femi Kuti`s big DADDY

Some one is asking after Tinubu----
The guy has learnt how  to talk since his last court case
He must have signed an undertaking-to be a good boy (who wants to be exposed?)

This scenario reminds us of the the guy who used hands to stop Ghana`s goal-bound ball during last world cup
Some people were expecting that he should face firing squad!
He was simply issued a red card & sent away-----only to receive a hero`s welcome back home

But this will initialize a staccato of activities whose end may not be in sight

The wheel is man`s greatest invention
We would have been stock without it.

The wheel is man`s greatest invention
We would have been stock without them

Hope he wont start pointing loopholes in the bill later
Serious minded fellows accept such offers but reject payments
That way he wid hv contributed & yet remained clean
May be he doesnt trust his palm

The Bible calls any one who hates a person a murderer
Dayokanu, according to the Bible, is a mass murderer since he hates entire Igbo Nation

@Emmatok,
I hope you are following what "the draconian laws" are throwing up
Some of you digging for jewel wont be able to recognise one
& , unfortunately, will continue to waste

Impeachment, in Nigeria, is a charade. So are drumbeats of impeachment
In real setting no court will find room to reverse impeachments
Revisit Pita Obi`s impeachment charade & correct yourself
If you think it had PDP hands try digging into Bararabe Musa`s own who had no spine to get it reversed
Dont follow the crowd.

Most Nigerians are bad. So we cant use our country as a standard
Cost of diesel wasnt changed but transport fares on diesel-using vehicles went up
The government said she thought fares on such vehicles will remain unchanged--& had apologised

My stand on governance is clear--serve the people well
We must be ready to expect human errors anyway (which occurred in this case inadvertently & Idi Farouk is one of the early casualties)--showing admission of guilt/readiness to use reverse gear

Those calling our foundation RE-builders names should start apologizing immediately after reading the piece introducing this topic. Some of us know the caliber of some of those people in government.
No wonder they are facing barrage of arsenals from many fronts Na waoooo

Admin shd not allow "dem" to turn our esteemed forum to Sahara Reporters standard

There is God`s hand all these things happening now
The coming of GEJ portends a good omen for Nigeria
His mien & disposition is allowing us to know these inside dealings
"Stronger"Rulers like  OBJ, IBB, & others would have shielded their "own" people from this public glare
Our fortunes would have gone tru Ghana must go bags. Cover-ups must have followed

The re-entry of Okonjo Iweala is also very helpful
She, by training & experience, knows exact places to beam search lights to expose corruption
& she is doing that perfectly well
Same applies to Allison Madueke.
Numerous big shots they have blocked their nefarious ways are now fighting back
We must not fail to realise this---the cabals are being attacked from many fronts
They are counter attacking through available avenues
With their looted monies they are firing in all cylinders
They have to bc the heat on them is enormous

So my esteemed Nlanders understand the simple logic there
Stop insulting these people who have been sacrificing substantially
Most of them are not mean as their paid attackers will make us believe
They keep flying kites
As you can see none of those silly slurs have stuck

However, this does not in any way mean there are no bad eggs around the corridors of power
But we must endeavour to separate the sheep from the goat .

@Patriot2
I dont think you are patriotic
There are numerous holes in your argument
I will take you on just two:

No country deliberately elects a leader as you insinuated

If the economy of the whole nation is being turned into pocket money of the government(as you suggested) why are you worried now, that GEJ who is part of that government, is turning a new leaf by trying to put a stop to it?

If you have been following my postings you will understand I try to balance my argument.
The last 2 sentences on the posting you reacted to portrayed this.

We know Sahara reporters are paid agents
I have since stopped reading their stories
Soon they will stop publishing as hunger is starring them in the face
With little or no adverts, SR, for sure will crumble
Already we have seen that happen to NEXT
