In fact, it&#39;s as if it&#39;s the identity of most blacks, especially in this part of the world. Come to think of it, do you know that greed started from the days of our forefathers? I know most of us are so bitter when we hear of how a white man come into our country and took our people into slavery, but do we ever asked this question: &#39;was there any war fought to lead blacks into slavery? the sure answer is NO. So, if there is no war, No killing of blacks by white as in combat to secure slaves, how come they went away with so massive slaves?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stupidity of our forefathers causes us so much pain. yeah, but is it really stupidity? I doubt it is stupidity, I think it is greed. what do you say of a king or a chief of a particular village who is willing to sell his people into slavery just for a bottle of schnapp, or for Mirror or for Golden cup or silver spoon? will you say it is stupidity? NO, I say it is a high level of greed. The truth is, we blacks don&#39;t value our people, if our fathers can sell over fifty of their brethren into slavery for one bottle of schnapp, we should know that what our politicians are doing today is nothing on the scale of greed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
if our fathers can exhibit it and we see it manifest fully in our days, every black should check him/herself. thank God for those who brought gospel to Africa, we would have remain in bondage till now. do we say the whites enslaves us? I say, they helped us. without the whites, Africa would have been worse. if i&#39;m wrong correct me, but before you correct me, let me remind you how much Abacha looted of the federation money, over five billion pounds. till now, we are still recovering part of that money day in day out.&amp;nbsp;While&amp;nbsp;Obasanjo leaves office, he allocated over 11.3 billion dollars to tackle power problems, till now the problem still lingers. Tafa Balogun, former inspector general of police of Nigeria, caught with over 17 billion naira kept in GP tank in his house,&amp;nbsp;millions of&amp;nbsp;dollars cash&amp;nbsp;seen&amp;nbsp;in diezani Allison madueke&#39;s house, just to mention a few; Corruption every where, in all sectors, once you put a man in a position, a higher position in Nigeria or Africa as a whole, they either use the position to extort or to oppress.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How come blacks behave well outside Africa? if we can behave ourselves when we go to America, Europe or Asia, How come we don&#39;t behave well at home? we are honest outside, we aren&#39;t greedy outside, we are very hardworking.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
yahoo have been in existence for more than twenty years, the year it got to Nigeria, we turn it&#39;s use around against the white, many whites have cried as a result of this. We blacks don&#39;t value ourselves that&#39;s why seven past governors can have a combine cash in Dubai worth over twenty billion dollars while their people suffer at home.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thank God for Jesus that turn around the life of many. Greed, Lies, Wickedness, when are we going to put away all these? we are beautiful people, full of potentials, we have the ability to rule the world, we can change the world within a short time, we can do it, if only we can let go of our greed, if only we can make truth our watchword always, if only we can love one another the way we are.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
it&#39;s high time we let go of our selfishness, it&#39;s high time we let righteousness reign in our country NIGERIA, if only we can let go of greed. Millions are hungry, yet with dreams, just a million naira is what many youths need to make it to the top, they have dreams and aspirations, but what are they going to do when there is no one to help them, what are they going to do when some selfish people have stocked all the money abroad. the money that if most of them die today, there wife don&#39;t have idea of it, talkless of their children and so the money becomes a white man&#39;s property.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Of all we have in this country, God was so faithful and merciful to that point that we don&#39;t seemingly have natural disasters, i mean, no tsunami, no earthquake, not even tremor, no volcanic eruption, no famine, talk of any problems facing the world currently, We don&#39;t have any. How come Nigeria is still backward all these while? well, i think we have a lot of human disasters which manifested in mismanagement and corrupt administration, but in my opinion, i think below are the major problems and if these are tackled, we are closer to success than ever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1.&lt;b&gt; COMPULSORY EDUCATION FOR ALL NIGERIANS&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The North is major tribe in Nigeria and if the major tribe that cover such a large expense of land and span such great a population did not embrace education, how far can we go, believe me if three animals are tied together, One bigger and Two others almost of the same size, if the two plan of going to a direction and the other is not in agreement, they will remain in a single spot. When i was young, in the south west zone of this great nation, i remember the time where police are on the look out. Any child who refuses to go to school is in trouble, if you are caught, you may be lock up and your parents will pay heavy to bail you out especially if you are caught in a game house during school hour, you are in for it. I think in my opinion, if The Nigerian Government make Education compulsory for all children above the age of Two (2), i mean a compulsory education, it may look so hard at the beginning but i think the almajiris in the North who always beg for arm will reduce drastically, for once you are caught on the street begging, you are in for it, everybody will sit up.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;Any Parents who doesn&#39;t want his children to be educated should be ignored and children Forced to school, indeed some may not develop interest but for those who pick interest, it&#39;s a plus for the nation. &quot;EDUCATE THEM NOW BY FORCE BEFORE THEY BECOME TERRORISTS TOMORROW&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2.&lt;b&gt;ALL COMPANIES TASKED TO INVEST IN YOUTH&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In Nigeria, we&#39;ve left everything for the government, i think in the advanced world, it&#39;s the private sector that plays the majority of the role in the nation building, assisting the government to carry its load. this is my suggestion: &quot;no company deserves to be in Nigeria, if they cannot invest in the Nigerian Youth&quot;. So, i think the federal government should put a law in place that enforce this. No single company should sponsor the Nigerian League, rather, individual companies should sponsor individual team be it in football, rugby, basketball, baseball, lawn tennis etc. it should be that multiple companies sponsor the League, not a single company. Youth are the future of any country, if our footballers playing in the local league are not well paid, how will they give their best? some of them collects less than a fifty thousand naira per month and lots of club owner still owes its players up to three, four, five months salary. It&#39;s because there is no sponsorship. If we want the sport sector to develop, the government should relinquish that authority to the private sectors and this should be enforced such that every company in Nigeria sponsor a team with at least 1-10% of their income. No company is too small to participate, Biro companies, Biscuit companies, Soap companies, small companies, no matter how small should be forced to give something back to the youth of this nation, i mean they should invest in our youths. By that, Joblessness will reduce drastically.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3.&lt;b&gt; DECENTRALIZATION OF THE NATION&#39;S DEFENCE ACADEMY&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Th&lt;/b&gt;is is a major problem in this country, the nation&#39;s defence academy is located only in the north, Kaduna to be precise. what is the problem with that you may ask? the northerners believed that they were born to rule, and though they are the least educated in this country due to the fact that they did not embrace western education, they however have largest personnel in the military. And do you know why? it was because the Academy is situated close to them, whether you have a degree or what as long as you are a northerner, the defence academy is your birthright. All the other zones finds it difficult to enter the defence academy though they may be a B.sc holder, Secondary school certificate holder and in the process Northerners have over 70% of military personnel in the academy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;This is what i think, the federal government should decentralilzed the nation military defence academy. Let the souths have their own Defence Academy, Let the south west have theirs, or they should do it in such a way that the Kaduna branch extended as a branch to other zones of the country.&lt;br /&gt;
The best is however that every zone have their own defence academy, be given flexibility to operate their own systems in accordance to the central military systems and laws. I tell you, there are more southerners who want to be in the nation&#39;s force, fighting to protect their country&#39;s properties and citizens, but the rigorous nature of getting admission and entry into the academy prevents a lot of them from Joining military. i think, if this is corrected, we have many people flooding the nation&#39;s military defence, less unemployment is observed, low level of indiscipline is achieved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4&lt;b&gt;. SPONSORING YOUTHS WITH IDEAS&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;Today, the movie industry is bitterly complaining of piracy every now and then, and who are the culprits of the piracy? They called them the &#39;alaba boys&#39; in Onitsha. Everyday, we puts in Laws to fight them, oftentimes we called them jobless, we say they are nonentities. i think those guys are gifted, i think we should see the good in them, they have no works to do, they decide to use their brain to do something fake, fake sandals, fake phones, fake materials, fake things ... we keep blaming them, but the truth is this, if someone who has no money do fake things that works almost as the originals, i think if such a person is given proper training and sponsorship, if such person have money to execute all his ideas, i think such person can produce original effortlessly. They need proper training. We all can talk about the united states of America and how well they&#39;ve gone far to become the most powerful country on earth, we&#39;ve only forgotten that they knew how to make use of their enemies. They are the ones that trained Osama Bin Laden, they knew how to make use of their seeming enemies to their advantage rather than killing them. Let the private sectors and the federal government devise a means of sponsoring these youths who are creative.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. &lt;b&gt;INSTALLATION OF CCTV CAMERA ALL OVER THE COUNTRY&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;This looks so impossible, but i think it is one of the easiest things to do. The question is: how much will it cost Nigeria to install CCTV all around our country? i think this will ease the stress of running up and down tracking down the pipelines vandals, the PHCN equipment vandals and all evil perpetrators in Nigeria. You are a driver and you jump the traffic light even at night, we don&#39;t need to run after you, the next day you wake up, you hear knocks on your door demanding a fine from you. You are a graduate or a sensible Nigerian, you eat biscuits, sweets, gala and you drop the Nylon on the road, or the floor or you dump sewage in the drainage, the camera pick you up. i think, if CCTV can be installed and managed effectively by supermarkets like Shoprites, Yemyem and all major or minor retail outlets, i think as a nation, Installing CCTV cameras all over our country will help us a lot. Now, we can experiment with a state and see how successful it will be but i&#39;m so sure it will work well in Nigeria.&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;6. PROPER REVIEW OF THE NIGERIAN CONSTITUTION TO FAVOUR THE MASSES&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;One of the major problems of Nigeria is its constitution. Our constitutions has so much laws but it lacks power. A law that is not enforced is a useless law. A constitution that supports or recognize one religion over the other is a biased and useless constitution. A constitution that provides immunity for corrupt government officials while in office is a useless constitution. A constitution that allows so much allowances for its national executives and legislative officials and its citizens are not enjoying the same is a useless constitution. A constitution that elevates those in public office above the citizens it claims to serve is a useless constitution. A constitution that only satisfy the belly of the senates and house of reps with toilet roll allowance, biro allowance, newspaper allowance, talking allowance, standing allowances, cloth allowance, car allowance among others and cannot provide the same for its citizens is a useless constitution.&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;7. INSTILLING A POSITIVE MAINTENANCE CULTURE&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;This too is a major challenge in this country, I remembered how beautiful Surulere National Stadium was when it was first built, i knew exactly how Ijebu-Ode National stadium was built, Abuja national stadium and Many More... Go and see how it looks now. its far below the standard it was when it was first built. Apart from that, our inability to maintain our national heritage is a problem. Where is our National Museum in Nigeria and if we have one, how many do we have? how many national theatre can we boast of as a nation? just one. You know it&#39;s easy to talk about Americas, do we know how many Theatres they have? the theatres they have is enough to rake in a box office of over 2.17 billion dollars for avatars. So, a film maker in America don&#39;t have to be afraid of piracy&lt;b&gt;,&amp;nbsp; &lt;/b&gt;there is enough platform to sell their movies to the world and make their money without fear of piracy. in fact, movies they release within a week, they have it pirated within a short time but they still make their money. Even the one we have is not properly maintained or renovated to meet the world standard. Our Roads too is not left out in this and a negative maintenance attitude is affecting our refineries seriously. i don&#39;t know why our refineries should not be functioning at all. the Question is this: &#39;when money was flowing in during the past administrations, what delays them from repairing the refineries? how much does it take to repair a refinery? is it as expensive as the money that built it? it&#39;s just negligence that is causing all these problems.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8. &lt;b&gt;DEVELOPING A CREATIVE MINDSET RATHER THAN CONSUMING MINDSET&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;This is one of the major Problems in Nigeria. United States of America used over 2 billion dollars to build Fermi Lab. the Question is: &#39;looking at the whole thing, you might say, what is it to gain in the construction of the Fermi Lab? why can&#39;t the government use the money to build more houses, buy more cars, construct refineries? yeah, a consuming mind will say that. The Truth is: &#39;the US used Such amount of Money to build a project they don&#39;t know whether it will yield or not&#39;, how much is Nigeria spending on Creativity and Research? Where is our own Space station, Do we even have a rocket? All our professors have things to invent, but no money to further on their researches, Many youths have many things to create, but there is no enabling environment. I&#39;m not saying that the government should do everything, the government can as well partner with Private Sectors to develop the research arm of the government. We can do it, Yes, We surely can; the problem is, we don&#39;t see the need. we are always concern with what to eat, drink, wear, cars to ride, house to live in and so on, we are not bothered about investing in Project which may not yield now but could put us in forefront of the world power in the future. We can do it. The United States Used Over 2 billion Dollars to build Telescopes that is effective in the study of the extra terrestial bodies. We may say, we don&#39;t need it, but that is what makes the advanced country stronger, that is what gives them edge over the others. they understand so much the electromagnetic spectrum to such an extent that they made transmission of voice easier through the construction of satellites, It was there researches that earn them that success. What are we investing our money on? We even import tooth Picks, Matches, Biscuits, Even Chalks. Is it that we don&#39;t have brain that can do these in Nigeria? Wow. Do you know why the US government spent that much on fermi Lab? Just to study the particles in an atom. that you may say is insignificant and waste of money for a consuming nations like us, but&amp;nbsp; hey! that&#39;s what gives them edge over other nations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
9. &lt;b&gt;KEEPING DATABASE FOR ALL NIGERIANS&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;One thing i still don&#39;t understand is how it was so difficult to keep the database of all the Nigerian. Is it that much a problem for us to execute? i don&#39;t think so. During the Nigerian general elections, our information were captured by INEC,&amp;nbsp; all federal hospitals and some private hospitals as well as some state hospitals, Hotels, Airports and during admission exercise of any University, our information are captured on the school Database. Our Bio-datas are collected with our Demographic datas which comprises age, sex, name, address among others, our phone numbers e-mails and the rest were collected. the question is how come it was still so difficult for the federal government to collate the data of all nigerians in a central database such that we don&#39;t need to keep chasing offenders, we already know where they live. Once we capture them through CCTV, we track them to their home and justice is metted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The information collected by INEC and SCHOOLS have our fingerprints captured on their database, so what is Nigerian government doing about all these? well, time will tell.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
10. &lt;b&gt;DECENTRALIZATION OF NIGERIAN POLICE FORCE&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;This has been going on for so long a time, i think it will be best if we decentralize our police force such that each state have their own police force operating under a state laws in affiliation with the central investigating bodies to enforce orders in Nigeria. Let&#39;s imagine Lagos state having its own police force, it will enable the state government to fully equipped it&#39;s police with all necessary equipment and ammunition to combat insecurity, injustice and disorderliness in lagos state. Let each state renamed their own Police, say for example, lagos state police force is LAPU (LAGOS STATE POLICE UNIT), Ogun state police force (OGPU (Ogun state police Unit)) and so forth. This will enable our police force and help them to operate with full potential with the help of the state governments, private organisations, and the help of the citizens. Let those who understand a particular zone be their inspector or police chief and we&#39;ll see tremendous improvement. We can do it and i&#39;m sure it will work. However, let there be a central investigating body handling different issues on transport separately, religion violence separately, terrorism separately, and general offence. Let all these further be under a central investigating unit (CIU). Let everything be arranged in hierachy and in order and we&#39;ll see changes. Let EFCC still manned the crime Unit and let them work hand in hand with the Independent Corrupt Practice Commission (ICPC) to tackle corruption in it&#39;s entirety. Money Laundering is not the only Corruption in Nigeria, Lecturers sleeping with female students before they pass their exams and all related crime should be handled and investigated by ICPC.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
11. &lt;b&gt;ALLOWING PRIVATE PARTIES ASSISTS IN PUBLIC PROJECT&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Nigeria is a country that i know of that if a billionaire want to renovate a road, he can be sued for it. I think in my Opinion that is causing a lot of set back to the development of a particular community. Let there be a law in place that allow this such that there must be a condition that guarantees efficiency without any negative influence on the community. Yes, i say people should be allowed to help in public renovations if need arise. Let&#39;s not forget that these people are Nigerians and if they want to assist Nigeria or Nigerian, it is still a nation building exercise.&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
12. &lt;b&gt;KICKING OFF A WAR AGAINST INDISCIPLINE PROGRAM&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, we really need this in Nigeria. People should be penalized if they refuse to treat government property with respect. People should be penalized if they are not taking care of their environment just like we used to do before. Unnecessary strike actions by a particular sector should be reviewed properly except it is a general strike and if need be that a sector should embark on strike, it should be fully looked into if it is a genuine reason for going into strike. For example, we see many people in an attempt to demonstrate how well they are displeased by the government, every single challenge, they embark on strike and why are they going on strike? government is not paying a particular allowance. well, you will say it is good they fight for it, yeah, i agree too, but i think solution to everything is not strike. A man who cannot do anything positive with a hundred thousand Naira will not do anything good if you give him a Hundred million naira. so, I say, though government should pay its workers well, yeah, it is good, i mean very good, but the truth remains, if the government gives every Nigerian 10 million naira each, you will see how useless a lot of people are, that money looks big, but i tell you, some people, in fact most people will squander it on things that are not sensible and if the government gives every Nigerian a 100,000 naira each, you will see some people become millionnaire in just one year. so, i say: &#39;it is not how much you are given that matters, it is how well you can utilize the little you have to do something great&#39;. if you&#39;ve been receiving a hundred thousand naira as your salary, and you are not doing anything creative, good with it to bring in more money, You will not do anything good even if your salary is increased to a hundred million naira per month. So it is not about the salary, it is about what you can do with what you have.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over speeding should be punished when necessary. Yeah! the government should partner with private sectors to install speed limit detecting device on our road. These sets and measure the speed limit of every vehicles on Nigerian Road.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
13. &lt;b&gt;SPONSORING NIGERIAN ABROAD TO PERFECT THEIR SKILLS&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;A lot may see this as a waste of resources, but it&#39;s going to help us a great deal. I once saw the picture of Dubai taken in 1983&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;compared to the Dubai of now and what i saw amazes me, great difference: &#39;the 1983 picture looks like desert and the 2016 picture looks like paradise&#39;. what transpired between 1983 to 2016? development. The same oil we had. while they channeled their resources to nation building we were busy embezzling our own and we see the difference. Today, Dubai is a force to reckon with. We&#39;ve seemingly lost it, but i think it&#39;s going to help us a lot.  The Chinese are people who don&#39;t seem to have any natural resources, 
they however, developed their country by developing their human potentials and 
see where they are today.&lt;br /&gt;
Brazil today is running on ethanol as fuel, why don&#39;t we send students who are willing to study to Brazil or Probably Professors, let&#39;s send them to Brazil to go and learn how they were able to turn ethanol to gasoline.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;marquee amount=&quot;4&quot; behavior=&quot;alternate&quot; direction=&quot;right&quot; scroll=&quot;&quot;&gt;Let&#39;s divert our attention off what we have underneath our feet, to what we have within&lt;/marquee&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let&#39;s send professors who will sign agreement that after the speculated time abroad, they will come home and when they come home, they will be sponsored.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
14. &lt;b&gt;FOCUSING ATTENTION ON ALL OTHER RESOURCES&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;We&#39;ve depended so much on Oil and now, we&#39;ve seen that oil was an opportunity we refused to utilize, i believe if we can divert our attention back to Our Cocoa, Our Palm Oil, Our Rubbers, Our nuts; if we can provide soft loans for our farmers with little or no interest, if we can industrialize our farming by practising&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;mechanized farming, i think the sky will be our limit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
15. &lt;b&gt;PERMANENT SOLUTION TO POWER FAILURE&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;Nigerians are highly gifted people, when we go to enabling environment to country like US or Great Britain or other part of the advanced world, we always perform excellently. When an Orange is squeezed we all know what comes out of it, Juice, orange juice. Nigerians are made up of excellence and greatness and that&#39;s what can come out from within us. If the Federal government will allow each state to freely generate it&#39;s own electricity, i think there will be a tremendous improvement in our power sector. Invite foreign investors, &lt;b&gt;declare a tax free economy for foreign investors who are willing to solve this problems, only that they must invest in the youth of this country, employ Nigerians, &lt;/b&gt;let&#39;s allow them come into our country and develop each sector, in partnership with each state government&lt;b&gt;,&amp;nbsp; &lt;/b&gt;the government can however make it in such a way that a quota of the Megawatts generated by each state should go to the federal to assist states who are not willing to generate theirs. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;16. SHIFTING THE NATION&#39;S ECONOMY ATTENTION OFF THE OIL SECTOR&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;I&#39;&lt;/b&gt;m happy at what is happening currently though it&#39;s painful, but i think it is good for us, i mean the recent fall in oil prices, the sad thing is that it&#39;s having effects on the exchange rate, causing a hype in price of the local and international commodities. Yeah! it&#39;s good that it is happening right now so that we can sit up. it is high time we developed the other sectors with maximum attention. Many a farmer needs soft loans to increase productivity, those in Oil palm business needs help to improve the product&#39;s quantity and quality. Those in Cocoa business needs loans to improve and increase its productivity. Gone are the days when these products&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;

The truth is this is the time where the politicians have so many friends and enemies. those who will praise them from the outset but will never vote on  the day of election for the person they seems to proclaim more.

This year election is the type i so much love the drama, the comedy and the twists. i do observed one thing in all the campaigns so far: CHESS GAME. in chess game, the most intelligent chess players are those who truly learn how to be in a position of losing, by deliberately putting themselves in such position and later develop a strategy to turn the tides.

permit me to run a commentary: Welcome to the royal rumbles of the INEC 2015; tonight, you will be watching as many strong fighters will compete to eliminate all the other opponents; the final two that remain in the ring will face each other for this year&#39;s crown. wow! the stage is set and the audience are fully prepared waiting for the action. but behold while the fighters are coming from the rest room, the third fighter came outside displaying his muscles not knowing what lies ahead, immediately he sighted the first two fighters on stage, he quickly ran back and the whole crowd were amazed. why did he  run back says the first audience, talking with the second audience as the second audience responds: &#39;how on earth do you want me to know that, or perhaps, he&#39;s scared of what he saw&#39;. 


Here comes the fourth fighter, displaying his muscles and strength as the commentator made his remarks: &#39;welcome on stage, the guerrilla&#39;. the most surprising thing is that as the guerrilla steps out and saw these two fighters on stage he began to vomit. the crowd went hay wire: &#39;what&#39;s wrong with him? what&#39;s wrong with him? what&#39;s wrong with him? the commentator had no choice than to step in: &#39;it seems guerrilla is not feeling fine, i doubt if he will be able to continue this fight&#39;. the medical team are shown coming quickly to attend to guerrilla and here on stretcher guerrilla was carried away.


here comes the twelfth fighter, tall and muscular, he saw these two fighters on stage and he still dares them, walking closer to them and as he gets closer to the stage, someone from the audience threw a log at him and it hits him at a crucial part and as everybody saw his reaction since he develops aggression towards the audience rather than towards the two fighters on the ring, the whole audience decided to mob him and here lies the fate of the twelfth fighter, he was carried out using a stretcher and it seems there is no one to contend with these two giants.

so the commentator said: &#39;we shall waste no time any longer, let the fight begin&#39;, here is the crowd cheering, here is the stage sets, here the supporters are shown chanting. the question is: who will win this fight? well, as they say, whatever has a beginning must surely have an end.

the fight has just started, the referee declared the fight opened and here Mr G punches Mr B and the supporters of Mr G roar. Mr G was carried away with the chanting of the crowd in his favour and before he knew what is happening, Mr B retaliated with a smack down and Mr B supporters&#39; went hay fire. everybody thinks Mr B will win but within a short time, Mr G is shown standing up. funny enough, Mr B too is not getting tired instead; who wins this fight?

my advice to NIgerians is: vote wisely, do not sell your vote, vote peacefully. so who win this fight? MR GEJ VS MR BUHARI.

I STILL BELIEVE THAT THERE IS NOTHING TOO DIFFICULT FOR THE HEAVEN TO HANDLE. ESTHER AND THE ISRAELITES FASTED AND PRAYED AND GOD TURNED THE PLOTS OF HAMMAN UPON HIM. THE ISRAELITES HAD NO POWER WITHIN THEM, THEY HAVE NO CONNECTION IN THE GOVERNMENT, THEY HAVE NO MONEY TO BUY AMMUNITIONS. BUT THE ONLY THING THEY HAVE IS THE ALMIGHTY GOD. THEY PRAYED TO THEIR GOD AND HE DELIVERED THEM.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THE BATTLE OF JEHOSHAPHAT TOO IS NOT LEFT OUT, FIVE GREAT NATIONS JOINED FORCES TOGETHER TO DESTROY THE ISRAELITES. THEY CAME WITH THOUSANDS OF TROOPS AND FORCES. TO ISRAEL, THEIR END HAS COME. BUT THEY SUMMONED COURAGE TO SEEK THE FACE OF THEIR GOD AND HE SHOWED THEM THE WAY OUT. HE INSTRUCTED THEM TO GO TO THE BATTLE SINGING AND REJOICING. IMAGINE, THE ENEMIES CAME WITH SWORD AND WITH GUNS AND WITH ARROWS, JUST LIKE THE BOKO HARAM ISLAMIC SECTS CAME WITH BOMB AND GUNS, EVEN WITH SWORDS. AND YOU KNOW WHAT, ALL THAT GOD ASKED THEM TO DO IS NOT TO GATHER SWORDS AND BEGIN TO FIGHT THE ENEMIES. ALL THEY WERE ASKED TO DO IS TO BEGIN PRAISING THEIR GOD AND EXALTING HIM ABOVE THE POWERS OF THE ENEMIES AND GOD, THEIR GOD AND OUR GOD INTERVENED.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IF HOWEVER, NIGERIA ARE SUFFERING FOR THE SINS COMMITTED IN IT, THEN, JUST LIKE THE CASE OF THE PEOPLE OF NINEVEH, WHEN GOD SENT THE PROPHET JONA TO THEM TO WARN THEM OF HIS INTENTION TO DESTROY THEM AND THEIR LANDS, THE PEOPLE OF NINEVEH FASTED FOR JUST THREE DAYS, ALL IN ONE ACCORD AND THEY ASKED FOR MERCIES AND GOD HAD MERCY ON THEM AND FORGAVE THEM THEIR SINS. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WE SHOULD NOT ALSO FORGET KING SENNACHERUB, THE KING OF THE ASSYRIANS WHO CAME TO DESPISE THE GOD OF ISRAEL, AND THREATENED TO PUT AN END TO ISRAEL&#39;S EXISTENCE. HE BOASTS OF HOW HE HAD DESTROYED SO MANY CITIES, AND COUNTRY AND HOW THEIR GOD COULD NOT SAVE THEM. HE BOASTS OF HIS FORCES AND ASKED ISRAEL TO SURRENDER, BUT ISRAEL TURN TO THEIR GOD AND THEY PRAYED AND THEIR GOD, HE WHO HAD NEVER FAILED THEM INTERVENED. IT WAS SENNACHERUB WHO PAYED INSTEAD WITH HIS LIFE AND ALL HIS THOUSANDS OF SOLDIERS WERE ALL DESTROYED ALL IN ONE NIGHT BY THE ANGEL OF OUR GOD.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IF OUR GOD COULD SAVE ALL THESE PEOPLE, THEN AM CALLING ON ALL OUR SPIRITUAL LEADERS TO ANNOUNCE IT PUBLIC THAT THE CHRISTIANS IN NIGERIA SHOULD FAST. I&#39;M IMPLORING CHRISTIANS NOT TO FIGHT BACK BECAUSE FIGHTING BACK CAN ONLY IGNITE MORE FIRE.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THE BIBLE SAYS THAT THE WEAPON OF OUR WARFARE ARE NOT CARNAL. ALTHOUGH WE LOOK AS IF WE ARE WEAK AND FOOLISH, YET, OUR WEAPON, THOUGH NOT VISIBLE, IS THE MOST POWERFUL, JUST LIKE LASERS IS NOT VISIBLE BUT IS THE MOST POWERFUL AND MOST DANGEROUS RAYS. SO ALSO, OUR WEAPON, THE POWER THAT LIVES INSIDE OF US, THE POWER OF OUR GOD IS STRONG ENOUGH TO DELIVER US FROM THESE AND BRING THIS NATION UNDER HIS OWN CONTROL.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NIGERIANS SHOULD FAST AND PRAY. IF WE ALL SEEK THE FACE OF OUR GOD FOR THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS, SUCH THAT NOBODY EAT OR DRINK ANYTHING, SEEKING THE FACE OF OUR MAKER, OUR GOD, WHO HAD NEVER FAIL HIS PEOPLE IN THE PAST, WILL NEVER FAIL US.

ANY WAY OUT?</title><content type='html'>VIRTUALLY all the tribes in Nigeria compete against themselves in all ramification. The Yorubas see themselves as Yoruba, not as Nigerian. The same with the Ibo tribe and the Hausa too were not left out.&lt;br /&gt;Outside Nigeria, we are being regarded as one. if an Hausa went out there to do something good, or commit a crime, No one is going to refer to him as an Hausa man but a Nigerian. The same with the Ibo and the Yorubas. Why is it that despite all of these, we never see ourselves as brothers?&lt;br /&gt;I once had a discussion with a fellow Yoruba like me concerning politics, i said, i think the ibo too should be given a chance to prove their prowessity, the guy quikly said, are those one tribe, are they part of us? they don&#39;t even know how to play politics. uh-uhhhhhhhhhhhm. tell me who the ibos are: NIGERIAN.&lt;br /&gt;Until we realise that we are one, we may find it difficult as a nation to move mountain.&lt;br /&gt;God respect something in the kingdom of men and that thing is unity. in fact, when the world unite to build a strong tower to reach unto heaven, God himself said something which baffles me and that thing is:&quot;And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and &lt;strong&gt;now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do&lt;/strong&gt;. Go to, let us go down, and there confound their alanguage, that they may not understand one another’s speech&quot;{gen.11: 6-7}. God himself knew that when we unite as one, we shall do all thing as we desire.&lt;br /&gt;the book of psalms 133:1 said: &quot;oh how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;we are one Nigeria. the ibos are my brother, likewise the hausas.&lt;br /&gt;tomorrow, i should be able to enter any of my brother&#39;s house with pure mind without any fear of hatred or inferiority of whatever form we are. we together made up this nation called NIGERIA.&lt;br /&gt;one love my people.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://allonnigeria.blogspot.com/feeds/319150143852804348/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/8619774895777337204/319150143852804348?isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8619774895777337204/posts/default/319150143852804348'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8619774895777337204/posts/default/319150143852804348'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://allonnigeria.blogspot.com/2010/01/discrepancies-within-nigerian-any-way.html' title='THE DISCREPANCIES WITHIN NIGERIAN!

ANY WAY OUT?</title><content type='html'>This is to bring to your notice all the barbaric massacres happening in the North. The first issue is the killing of many innocent christians all in the name of Jihad.&lt;br /&gt;Nothing less than 15,000 christians had been killed as a result of this. wait a minute!!! christian or no christians, who are this innocent people massacred? the answer is simple: they are Nigerians. so you see, Nigerians killing Nigerians. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If Nigerians are killing Nigerians within the nation, and the government cannot set up a regulatory body to curb this, how much more would Nigerians being arraigned for killing be defended. When we cannot protect our own brethren inside, how can we fight for those people outside.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some Nigerians were arraigned for murder in Libya, United Kingdom, United states of America, and many Arab Nations. we all look at this with the view that the government could do something, but surprisingly, if the government can do nothing to all the barbaric massacre going on in here, then, our citizens out there are in trouble.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recently, Some NYSC members, were killed in a cruel way, and the government did nothing about it. Another was raped and later killed as a result of what she wore that day. And what did she wear? she was accused of putting on trouser, and for that she violated the Sharia Law. so she deserved to be raped and afterward killed. All these happen in Zamfara state.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When will all these stop? We thank God for the way he moved the government to curb the mass killing of about 800 people by the Boko Haram troupe. may be if the government could always set up a body to respond to any killing as they did to the Boko Haram, may be all these northerners will stop this madness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Forget about the offense, all these people are fellow Nigerians, they don&#39;t deserve to be murdered or killed brutally in any way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope the government will put this in their mind. They should learn to protect Nigerian inside if they want to defend those outside. By that, each Nigerian will respect their citizens.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://allonnigeria.blogspot.com/feeds/5055047514027417220/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/8619774895777337204/5055047514027417220?isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8619774895777337204/posts/default/5055047514027417220'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8619774895777337204/posts/default/5055047514027417220'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://allonnigeria.blogspot.com/2009/11/barbaric-massacre-in-nigeria-any-way.html' title='THE BARBARIC MASSACRE IN NIGERIA!!!

NAWAH OH! WELL THIS IS NAIJA!! USH</title><content type='html'>WELL this is naija so to say! or where should i start from? why are things like this in this nation? i keeps on wondering. all our food now are means of government revenue. WELL like the YORUBA do say: &#39;isaluwala ologbo, ati keran je ni&#39; meaning the &#39;ablutioning of cat is to steal meat&#39;. what are we turning everything into in this glorious and great nation?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WE are currently depending on oil money and the funniest thing is that we are turning to agriculture, exporting the food of the people for government revenue. OUR cassava now is being used to enrich the pocket of the government. what am i saying?&lt;br /&gt;well: Cassava is being exported out of the country for the purpose of generating money to boost the economic income of the government but where is the  money now? Garri is now sold for 150 naira from the normal 25 naira on the local scene. if Nigerian can point at something for which the money was used for, it would have been better. but where is our cassava money now? ush...shai, it don dey dance in the belly of the people in the high places. well, indeed, such process was initiated for some people to be able to chop their own money from the national wealth. well, may be i should  remind Nigerian how the recovered ABACHA loot was spend:&lt;br /&gt;According to the report of MAY 31st, 2009, the NIgerian Punch brought this sad story to mind on its page 7 which read thus: EFCC DENIES 438billion Naira RECOVERED Abacha Loot. what a sad story! well let&#39;s check the  wright up together:&#39;...the alarm by the UN office on Drugs and Crimes  that about $450million (N6.5billion) of the over $3bn(N438bn) alleged to have been stolen by Abacha could not be traced, the EFCC that spearheaded the recovery of the loot has washed its hands off further investigation on the matter. the former chairman of the EFCC, Mr Nuhu Ribadu, was quoted to have said the commission recovered $2bn from Abacha in 2006. two months later, in 2007, former finance Minister, Nenandi Usman reportedly said the funds had been given to the ministers of power, works, health, Education, and water resources. she added that investigations had begun on how the funds were being spent. But  Tim Daniel stressed that the missing loot was stashed somewhere, &lt;strong&gt;it could not be traced&lt;/strong&gt;. According to him, the total of $1.9bn so far recovered from the Abacha family by the federal government was significant in assets recovery but added that there were still funds stolen from Nigeria which were yet to be recovered.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Punch Newspaper reported further what i called the confirmation of all these shameful acts: concerning TAFA BALOGUN&#39;s case, of which it was said that N16bn was recovered by the former EFCC boss, the shocker came as the New EFCC boss declared that ONLY N2.6bn was recovered from TAFA. &quot;a very competent source at the EFCC, who could not want to be mentioned, confided in our correspondent that the exact amount of money recovered from Mr. Tafa Balogun is N2.6bn...&quot;Tafa loot&quot; fell short of speculated N16bn.&quot; as extracted from the PUNCH NEWSPAPER. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;what does this people take us for? a fool? as far as Nigerian is concerned, suddenly if N16bn became N2.6bn definitely, they should stop telling us that all their cassava export is to help us, they should make it know that they are hungary and let them make people realise that all is for their own belly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;what an interesting nation. i wonder! $16.3bn dollars was spent on electricity as acclaimed by the former administration and yet nothing to offer or show for  it. Well, if N16bn suddenly becomes N2.6bn. Nigeria should not be supprise if tomorrow they come out with another news that the acclaimed $16.3bn was actually $2.4bn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well like i said earlier on, this is Nigeria. the world&#39;s most interesting nation, the world&#39;s best nation, the world&#39;s richest nation, although the richer are getting more richer while the poor poorer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i still believe sha! that God reigneth in the affairs of men.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://allonnigeria.blogspot.com/feeds/3937305685647047089/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/8619774895777337204/3937305685647047089?isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8619774895777337204/posts/default/3937305685647047089'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8619774895777337204/posts/default/3937305685647047089'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://allonnigeria.blogspot.com/2009/06/shai-nawah-oh-well-this-is-naija-ush.html' title='SHAI!!!

THE PLACE WHERE NOBODY TAKE HOLD OF YOU NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO!!!. EHHH...UHH...USH. What are we turning power to in this nation? Ghana were currently celebrating three years of non power failure. South Africa and Egypt, Tunisia and Morocco were not left out in the race, just as the UK is celebrating nothing less than 50 years of theirs. the USA just celebrates their 151st year just as the german celebrates about 53 years of non power failure. Uu..nn NIGERIA has not yet celebrate its 3 days of full non power failure since independents. what an interesting nation to be!!! ehh..ehh, uh...yeh, Un...h the last administration claims that in the last eight years she had spent nothing less than 16.3 billion dollars on electricity, yet, there is no more improvement. in fact things were getting a bit complex daily.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IN 2007 the Nigerian Electrical  power authority (NEPA) was privatised for effective delivery of power and was changed to Power Holding Company of Nigeria(PHCN). indeed! they were power holding, because they were just holding power the way it pleases them and they are indirectly telling the masses that they are now &#39;Please Hold Candle of Nigeria&#39;(PHCN).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;one furning thing is that Nigeria happen to be the supplier of electricity to country like Togo and Niger, yet, we do not satisfy the needs of our own people. one of my fathers in the lord narrated his ordeal when he came back to Nigeria from Togo, he said throughout the three days he spent in that country, there was nothing like power failure. Unnn... what a nation. a nation that is using his people&#39;s dividends to satisfy the outsider. why should we keeps  on feeding other people when our own people is hungry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;however, one funniest thing is that even their own children do not know their accounts and banks abroad such that when they died it is those country that later chop their money in the name  of dissolution of account. once they got into power, what they only know how to do is to  keep looping money to where it would later be dissolved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;how they spend the 16.3 billion dollars, only God knows. well, i still believe something that Nigeria is a Nation of so many mysteries, yet, or well, let&#39;s say God still reigns in the affairs of all men.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well, this seems a good time for business for those Nigerian that were involved in generator set selling. since all these started nothing less than 65 Nigerians have been reported dead by these generators due to the emission of carbon(ii)oxide. what shall we do to all these things?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;industries were not effective in their operation as before, in fact more industries were leaving the country. well, i think there is always a way out. if we could shift our attention a bit to radioactivity, i think the uranium that was founded in 2006 in six states of the federation could fetch Nigeria nothing less than 10 Giga Watts of electricity generation. we should also turn to the solar means instead of depending only on the hydro alone. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WELL each states should be given responsibilities to find a means of generating electricity by itself to meet the demands of his own people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;there were solutions to all these problems, but own rich men are not ready to spend to affect their community. Nigerian as a government should hereby listen to this opinion of mine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the federal government should device a means of competition academically in all different field of our educational system.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;let there be electrical education competition both theoretically and practically. not just on electrical, let us have those like:&lt;br /&gt;NATIONAL COMPETITION FOR MECHANICAL ENGINEERING STUDENT&lt;br /&gt;NATIONAL COMPETITION FOR CIVIL ENGINEERING STUDENT&lt;br /&gt;NATIONAL COMPETITION FOR PHARMACY STUDENT&lt;br /&gt;NATIONAL COMPETITION FOR MEDICINE STUDENT&lt;br /&gt;NATIONAL COMPETTION FOR CHEMISTRY STUDENT&lt;br /&gt;NATIONAL COMPETITTION FOR MATHEMATICS AND PHYSICS STUDENTS&lt;br /&gt;NATIONAL COMPETITION FOR COMPUTER SCIENTIST and all of such.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;how will this work? or you may ask? what rubbish is this? what do these have to do with power generation? yes, it is has something doing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;50 years ago, japan was facing similar problems as Nigeria. just like Brazil. do you know what they do, they carry out the above means and those who emerge the best were sent abroad to learn more in their various fields. when they came back to their nation, each project they embarked upon was sponsored by their federal government. today, Japan is among the G-8 countries. Brazil remains the only country to date to use gasohol as a means of fuel for their cars. this they were able to achieve because their government back them all up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so if Nigeria want to realise vision 2020, let&#39;s carry out the above procedures as the first step to developing this nation to the world standard. let&#39;s sponsore the best students abroad to go and learn more about their various fields. let&#39;s say per each field, 20 people were given scholarship abroad to learn something new, i  mean 20 people per each field to 20 different countries in the world, i&#39;m hundred percent sure, that when those 20 people come back and put their knowledge together, presenting their projects to the government, if the government oblige and sponsor their project, in the next 10 years, NIGERIA WILL BE EXTRA ORDINARILY GREAT. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;this is the first opinion. the second opinion is that their should be project exhibition competition. while i went for JETS in 2005, in the governor&#39;s cup, a guy from one school came to present a project through which the guy generated diesel from ordinary cashew nut. and you know once we get diesel, we could easily generate  petrol from diesel through chemical means. where is the project of that guy today, we are too busy to notice such, nobody even come up to sponsor such a guy to where he would be exposed to maximising his potential and i&#39;m sure if that guy&#39;s project was sponsored then, Nigerian won&#39;t need to be depending only on the trouble filled NIGER DELTA for fuel again. all we would have just be doing now is to encourage planting of more cashew trees in the nation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, does this make sense to you? well, there were lots and lots of talents in this nation, too busy to be noticed, and too neglected to be sponsored. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;USA today does not descend from heaven, but it was built through the contribution of people like  you and me. this was because, their government, even though too busy, yet, they set up a panel looking towards all these. where is  our own panel in Nigeria to monitor those little little things? well, i think there is always panels for probing, probing to chop more money, but there is no panel to discover talents.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i hope, one day, God will touch the heart of this selfish leaders who only cares about their stomach. it leaves one to wonder sometimes whether it is their wives that is pregnant or them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BRAIN ARE WASTING TOO MUCH IN THIS NATION. AND I WILL ADVICE THE WHITE MEN TO STOP INVESTING IN NIGERIA, BUT THEY SHOULD RATHER START INVESTING IN &lt;strong&gt;NIGERIAN&lt;/strong&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://allonnigeria.blogspot.com/feeds/3836801334222385568/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/8619774895777337204/3836801334222385568?isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8619774895777337204/posts/default/3836801334222385568'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8619774895777337204/posts/default/3836801334222385568'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://allonnigeria.blogspot.com/2009/05/nigeria-and-power-system.html' title='NIGERIA AND THE POWER SYSTEM!!!'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8619774895777337204.post-406790337499930751</id><published>2009-05-26T02:40:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2015-09-16T12:49:14.666-07:00</updated><title type='text'>MADMEN AND WOMEN ON NIGERIAN STREETS!!!</title><content type='html'>Walking down the streets of any town in Nigeria, one would discover that there are more madmen in Nigeria than expected. On the street of Abuja itself with some important area of Lagos is filled up with madmen and madwomen roaming about nakedly in this Great nation.&lt;br /&gt;  As i was working via oke-ilewo/kuto road, i came across a madwoman with a child, and i was almost crying. what is the sin of this young child being punished alongside due to the condition of the mother. i then took  a step forward, first to the motherless baby home where i was redirected to the ministry of women affair at oke-ilewo itself. of course i went and i was a little bit dissappointed that after three weeks nothing was done. i went back to them and was told that they were working on it and that they would soon respond to the situation. About two month after i still met them there although they were no more in that spot at the present. their absence in that place, does it mean that the government have taken over? well i don&#39;t know. all i know is that she is no more there.&lt;br /&gt; so what am i driving at with all of these? the rates at which mad people are increasing in this nation, one would be confused whether there is a Government in this nation. In the advanced world, none of these are noticed because they took care of their mad people.Shall we say that there is no more mad people in USA? well, they have  plenty. But is it that they were not found roaming about on the streets? it was because, the US government respect their mad people and treat them as a citizen giving them the full attention. they of course, build a lot of psychiatric hospital and they finance all the budget of these people such that you cannot know the difference between mad people in the US from the normal citizen.&lt;br /&gt;  the question is: what is NIgeria doing to savage this situation? our mad people were eating refuse like goat, they sleep on the streets, they wear rags, in fact they are as well exposed to various dangers. like dangers of ritual killers, dangers of accident, dangers of diseases. why should this keeps on happening? when is this going to end.&lt;br /&gt;  On the streets of Abeokuta Alone, there is nothing less than five mad men and women roaming about per street. what a shame!!!&lt;br /&gt;  of course, nobody chose to be  in that position by themselves. why should they keep on suffering for all these?&lt;br /&gt;  I am using this opportunity to call on the people and the government of this great nation, to set up a TASK force comprising only Medical and Pharmaceutical personel with the assistance of the Nigerian Police force, to start picking any mad people found on the city of Nigeria. but before this is done, the government should include the wellfare of the mad people in NIgeria into their budget and let the budget be tagged, THE MAD PEOPLE ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIA. through this budget, more psychiatric hospitals should be built. this also will  provide employment for our medical personels and in fact more Neurosurgeons would be produced in Nigeria when this is put into consideration. their well being in terms of food and shelter should also be looked into. If in 2003, Babangida could budget 6 billion dollars for his presidential campaign, how much will it cost the government to take care of their citizens. Imagine one  man using six billion dollars(Not NAIRA OH) for campaign alone, definitely he would have times 10 of it in his account. and look at the masses, they keep on suffering. the rich are getting more richer while the poor  poorer.&lt;br /&gt;  remember, this mad  people on the street of Nigeria ARE NIGERIAN, and they deserve their entitlement from the government just like every citizen in Nigeria. the word of God said: &#39;to those who know the right and doeth it not, to them it is a sin&#39;.&lt;br /&gt;  i am appealing to this government to take this matter seriously. who knows, may be through all these thing much of these mad people could be made whole. From the day i was born, i have never seen a Nigeria who does not know how to do one thing. if a Nigerian cannot read, it does not mean that he/she can&#39;t do other things like sports, musics and all of such. this will also be an opportunity for the government to bring  out the best in this people.&lt;br /&gt;  REMEMBER!!! ALL THESE MAD PEOPLE IN NIGERIA ARE NOT GHANAIAN, NEITHER CAMEROUNIAN, NOR MAURITANIAN, THEY ARE AND WILL EVER BE NIGERIAN.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://allonnigeria.blogspot.com/feeds/406790337499930751/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/8619774895777337204/406790337499930751?isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8619774895777337204/posts/default/406790337499930751'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8619774895777337204/posts/default/406790337499930751'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://allonnigeria.blogspot.com/2009/05/madmen-and-women-on-nigerian-streets.html' title='MADMEN AND WOMEN ON NIGERIAN STREETS!!!'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8619774895777337204.post-3669817910205089973</id><published>2009-05-20T01:53:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-26T03:25:50.750-07:00</updated><title type='text'>THE NIGERIAN EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM.</title><content type='html'>Looking at the way the Nigerian educational system has been suffering have made me to decide to put something down on the way forward on this. why should nigeria educational system keeps on suffering so much injustice? was it that Nigeria is not good enough to claim its place in the global educational systems?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well we need to look at the factors responsible&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1)THE PROBLEM WITH JAMB&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Judging by the way things are going, i will say that &#39;JAMB HAS FAILED NIGERIAN&#39;. How?&lt;br /&gt;this body is so corrupt today that they could no longer be relied upon. why should a paper be marked and remarked after the result has been released to the publics? that shows their incapability. they remark only one paper, which happened to be physics and through this one paper, those who were previously given 193 eventually was given 238 after remark, definitely if they could remark all the papers, many will score above 280 which were presently given 198 or less. i thought they said it was computer that mark all the papers and if that computer could fumble in physics, definitely there is probability that it could fumble in all the other papers.what is speeding JAMB so much that they were rushing to mark the nigerian scripts. if they use three months to mark all these papers without any mistakes, it is better than to use three days with so much mistakes. apart from all these, it is publicly known today that some people are bribing JAMB to buy results of some candidates. why should we keep on trusting in this Failed body?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;imagine students, reading tirelessly to pass an examination, and all they wake up to discover is that their results is being sold to unqualified candidates. what a pity. i  came to look limpidly into this issue and what i got was realling terrifying. i came to discover that some special centres were bribing some top JAMB officials to give them subtletly the question papers. and so thing keeps on getting corrupted everyday. student, i mean Genius students have fallen victims of all these and it all seems as if they don&#39;t know anything at all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i think in my opinion, JAMB SHOULD BE CANCELLED AND EACH SCHOOL SHOULD BE EMPOWER TO CONDUCT THEIR OWN ADMISSION BASED ON O-LEVEL RESULTS AND NOT ON JAMB AGAIN.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2)SPECIAL CENTRES:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHAT are we turning this nation into? what is the government doing on this issue of special centres? if you want to do WAEC, there are special centres for it. not just only  it, each examination has special centres and government is not setting up any task force to combat all these. i think this area needs to be looked upon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3)YOU KNOW WHO?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THIS is the most shameful aspect of nigerian educational system. even when students meets the requirments of their choice school, scaling through the hurdles of WAEC, JAMB and MORAL requirments, schools, virtually all schools in Nigeria is still asking students who they know before they are given admission. you don&#39;t know anybody, then forget the admission.&lt;br /&gt;Last Year, i and some of my friends went to attend Post PCE at the polytechnic of Ilaro and we are surprised at the outcome of every thing. we are four in numbers, and none of us scores less than 193 in PCE, and 136 in post PCE. but we were surprised to see that the candidates that top my own department scores 52, 55 also in both the civil engineering department and HND accounting where there was a 171. could you imagine the act of injustice against students?&lt;br /&gt;also that same last year a friend of mine did UME and Had 249, he went to UNILAG for their post UME, he managed to score 59.5, but he took them for both first and second choice courses and institutions. the first choice being medicine and Surgery and the second Chemistry. the cut-off mark for medicine is 66.7 that for chemistry was 58.6 for ogun catchment area only to be surprised that the admission was not given. he pressed on to meet the school authority only for a security man to say, &#39;had it been you came with a letter head, you would have been considered&#39; he asked what letter head really mean&#39;t and was told that &#39;had it been that you came with a letter from one of the top people in the society, you would be considered&#39;.&lt;br /&gt;i think the government also needs to look into all these.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4)INFRASTRUCTURE&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;i also will implore the government to create as much chemistry/chemical, physics/engineering and all scientific laboratories all over the nation apart from the common library we have. if Nigeria want to discover new things and produce the next Nobel Lauret, it is through all these that these could be  realised. we need a radioactivity laboratory, a medical laboratory virtually in all states of Nigeria. when all these is created, let their be free access to it by the masses, whether an undergraduate, graduate, secondary and those seeking yet for admission.&lt;br /&gt;also, in UK we have the ROYAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCE, in USA also, we have a  body looking into scientific discoveries, WHERE IS OUR OWN ROYAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCE?&lt;br /&gt;I THINK WE NEED ONE.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every thing requires wisdom. let the government look  on these and i think within few years we will be there.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://allonnigeria.blogspot.com/feeds/3669817910205089973/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/8619774895777337204/3669817910205089973?isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8619774895777337204/posts/default/3669817910205089973'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8619774895777337204/posts/default/3669817910205089973'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://allonnigeria.blogspot.com/2009/05/nigerian-educational-system.html' title='THE NIGERIAN EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM.'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8619774895777337204.post-494223816231149767</id><published>2008-12-05T13:46:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-05T14:09:56.370-08:00</updated><title type='text'>TRIP OR PLEASURE?</title><content type='html'>recently it was announced all over the face of newspapers that the anambra house of representative are on their way abroad in a trip that will cost the state government 200 million naira. the purpose of this  trip is to perhap as they acclaimed for some courses abroad pertaining to the house management and senatorial governancy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the point is this, are they really on a trip to learn some lesson to improve the management of the house of representative in order to aid perfect governancy or are they using this as a means of personal pleasure trip?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;this trip was said to have cost them two weeks to accomplish. ohhhhhhhhhhhh!!!&lt;br /&gt;what an enjoyment in deed. i could imagine the number of mad people roaming the streets of anambra states, also there were a lot of students who need  financial back up. there were diseases here and there to combat and cure, but their concern is  &#39;trip to abroad&#39;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;let&#39;s say one thousand mad people were captured and taking to psychiatrist for treatment, may be  all those one thousand would have been healed and made whole as a result of that 200 million naira which perishes in the belly of some selfish people who are only claiming to do all in the interest of the people but only were doing it to satisfy their own belly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;recently, during the accountability of each sectors of the ogun state government, one of the ministers while giving his own accountability and presenting a new plan said, &#39;Your excellency, the governor of ogun state, for all those raw materials ordered from germany, we have raised some pannels to travel to germany to inspect those equipments&#39;. the governor was surprised and he quickly said in yoruba language &#39;a tun ti bere oh, eh, a tun ti gbe tiwan tiwa de o&#39;. meaning: &#39;we have started selfishness again&#39;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i don&#39;t know why some people will be using the benefits of their people  for their own selfish pleasure. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the richer are getting richer, while the poor people were getting poorer.

&lt;br /&gt;
also, the case of Yaradua is not left out. he wasn&#39;t the best and the most qualified candidates for the 2007 presidential election but was chosing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
the question is, are the best candidates  ever allowed to showcase what they have in this nation?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
recently, the chairman of the Economic Financial Crime Commission demoted from the  position of the deputy inspector General of Police of the federation to a commissioner and further the demotion from the post of commissioner to a remote post in the force governance. they sent him to  nkru where he underwent a course to bag the MNI course 30, he  finished all these successfully, he was on his way to graduate from the institution, only for him to be prevented by the men of the state security services of the federation. what an insult to the nation that was planning to move to the top in the year 2020 and be ranked among the world&#39;s top.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
what do these men want to achieve by tampering with mallam Nuhu Ribadu?&lt;br /&gt;
he was terrorising them while in position. he never allowed them to loot the nation&#39;s money abroad. Yahoo guys too don&#39;t have space to operate. even those big men in government were not save, the past corrupt governors were also not save as their dark works were brought unto light.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
so they too thought in their mind that the only way to combat this type of man is to denied him of his power, they succeded indeed as they were able to demote him. but am sure they cannot hide from the sword of that man that sees both in light and darkness, i mean the almighty God.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
i could also remember the case of people like Babalola Borishade; he knew nothing about aviation, yet he was able to work in their, thanks to that God that reveal his weakness to the whole nation. however, on the other side, Okonjo Iweala was also demoted after she got the debt relief for this nation in her time to the ministry of foreign affairs of which she knew nothing about. thanks to that same God that Promote her to the world bank level.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
the best don&#39;t get their rightful place. our educational system now is not all about what you get up there in the encephalon, it is all about who do you know in this institution.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ahahaha!!! what a pity!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
well, i still have the faith that God rules and reign in the affair of men, if not i would have say that the only solution to all these problems is but REVOLUTION.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://allonnigeria.blogspot.com/feeds/5043893802077569315/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/8619774895777337204/5043893802077569315?isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8619774895777337204/posts/default/5043893802077569315'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8619774895777337204/posts/default/5043893802077569315'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://allonnigeria.blogspot.com/2008/11/nigerian-style.html' title='THE NIGERIAN STYLE!!!'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8619774895777337204.post-3842452181413005549</id><published>2008-11-11T11:16:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-11T11:33:05.154-08:00</updated><title type='text'>WHAT NIGERIA SHOULD LEARN FROM THE UNITED STATES ELECTION!!</title><content type='html'>As i was pondering over Obama&#39;s Victory, i came to realise that Nigeria Political System is far far lagging behind. Imagine a victory of 381 to 142 in favour of the Democratic candidate.&lt;br /&gt;Can we come to look at this vividly. During the campaigns, we discovered that only two parties were known to running the affairs of political society in the US of A.&lt;br /&gt;we have Democratic and Republican. but how many do we have in Nigeria?&lt;br /&gt;we have up to 52 Parties contesting for just a single race.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have PDP, ANPP, DPA, APGA, AD APP etc. all running for just a single post. since i was  born in my life, i have never seen such a political affairs in which the two candidates involved were acting like brothers, debating and tackling each other of various alegations On TV. Obama never Abuse Mccain and Vice versa, although they both Acused each other, but none put it in form of both slander and libel. they acuse each other to their own very face, and they both defended it likewise. &lt;br /&gt;we never read in the history of that election that Mccain Plan a coupe or plot to  kill Obama neither such was recorded of Obama himself.&lt;br /&gt;what an election indeed.&lt;br /&gt;however, Looking at our own Gubernatiorial elections, more than five candidates were assassined talkless of the race for the presidential election where the shortlisted candidates was elected based on their connections and not on their appearance to the people&#39;s expression.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i know of Ayo Daramola in Ekiti state. he was killed while running a race for gubernatiorial election. also Funso wiliams was not left out and all the hosts of others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;what are we turning politics into in this nation. it is &#39;BO BA O PA, BO BA O BU LE SE&#39;,  meaning, &#39;if you meet it kill it, and if you don&#39;t trap him&#39;. what a pity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well, all i just know is that the heaven rules and reign in the affairs of men.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;then what shall we do to improve our politics to a fair type?&lt;br /&gt;it is highly  possible. what we need to do is to first reduce the number of political parties in this nation. we need not more than at most 5. this will minimise the pressure as a result of much competitor.&lt;br /&gt;we also need to allow the people to express their mind.&lt;br /&gt;i could remember what Mccain said in the morning the result was declared. he said &#39;the people has spoken&#39;. such a word really impressed me a lot. he does not say &#39;because i lose, i should crucify obama or look for his past mistakes to nail him or look for any fault in him to derail him&#39;. this is indeed the spirit of brothership.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nigeria need to rise up and rule his own word. i know if people were allow to determine the nations&#39; past election, the winner would have been  either Pat Utomi, Marwa, Bhuari or Atiku. but as the matter could be, it was Yar&#39;adua that won it.&lt;br /&gt;well, let&#39;s just believe that if God doesn&#39;t want him there, he would not be there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i hope one day we shall come to realise our mistakes and come to learn from other people&#39;s success for us to move forward.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://allonnigeria.blogspot.com/feeds/3842452181413005549/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/8619774895777337204/3842452181413005549?isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8619774895777337204/posts/default/3842452181413005549'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8619774895777337204/posts/default/3842452181413005549'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://allonnigeria.blogspot.com/2008/11/what-nigeria-should-learn-from-united.html' title='WHAT NIGERIA SHOULD LEARN FROM THE UNITED STATES ELECTION!!'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8619774895777337204.post-453615497084993047</id><published>2008-10-07T14:27:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-07T15:06:24.929-07:00</updated><title type='text'>THE MYSTERIES BEHIND PEOPLE&#39;S DECLARATION ABOUT NIGERIA!</title><content type='html'>dear great Nigerian, haven&#39;t you ever wondered why there is increase in unemployment  in almost all branches of Nigerian economy systems? i mean, quite a number of time have we seen a graduate riding okada and  if such is asked why? would say that there is no Job. what do you think is absolutely responsible for all of these?&lt;br /&gt;also, what do you think is the driving force behind all the pandemonium and ups and downs in the national development? a lot of accidents were recorded in an unexpected way. what do you think leads to this? Nigeria had recorded about 8 major plane crashes in the last 9 years, but Nigeria flown its first flight between kano and cairo in 1925, yet, south  africa who flew theirs in 1952 enroute johannesbourg london had never recorded any fatal accidents in their aircraft operation.&lt;br /&gt;what do you think could lead to all these?&lt;br /&gt;also look at our political systems and infastructure, poor management had persisted for a long time. also, our industries were not left out in all these ups and downs.&lt;br /&gt;inflations everyday in virtually all branches of Nigerian economy. what do you think were the major factor responsible for all these?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the Bible answered:&quot;Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!And the atongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and &lt;strong&gt;setteth on fire the course of nature&lt;/strong&gt;; and it is set on fire of hell. For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:But the atongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse &lt;strong&gt;we&lt;/strong&gt; men, which are made after the similitude of God.Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be&quot;(james 3: 5-10).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;this is a very strange answer indeed. although you may ask, how does this relates to the problems of Nigeria? well, it is the most mysterious aspect of our livings here in this nation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God said in his word that we should prophesy the goodness of zion. he then stated a condition when he said that, everyone who blessed zion shall be blessed. he repeated the same thing in the time of israel when he said that everyone who blessed israel shall be blessed and everyone who curse israel shall be cursed. do you think God is  playing  games?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;here lies the simple answer. check those graduate who could not find Jobs today and ask them whether they have one time said it with their own mouth that &#39;there is  no Job in Nigeria&#39; or &#39;which kind bad country be this&#39; and you will see that mostly almost 95% would be guilty of this crime. what does this have to do with this? well, it is simple, if you said that there is no Job in Nigeria or Nigeria is bad, definitely, you are saying that there is no Job for  you and that Nigeria will be bad for you. here is the simple logic. who constitute Nigeria? YOU of course. and so if there is no Job in Nigeria, then, for you to say it with your own mouth, it means there is no Job for you. what do i mean? the Bible unveiled:&quot; For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and &lt;strong&gt;with the mouth confession &lt;/strong&gt;is made unto csalvation&quot;(Rom.10: 10).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;here is the punishment for all those who cannot prophesy the development of our Great Nation since all they knew is to be saying bad thing about it. Nigeria is bad today, tomorrow they will repeat the same thing, and that&#39;s the general mentality. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but if you are asked that who are the enemies of Nigeria? you will say the government. the government can&#39;t be the enemy of its own people. you are the problems of yourself. if you cannot prophesy the goods of Nigeria, definitely, Nigeria will be bad to you. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i don&#39;t know the reason why we can&#39;t prophesy the good of this nation. those who wish Nigeria well shall surely prosper. but listen attentively, it is not a curse, if you don&#39;t wish Nigeria well, definitely, NIGERIA WILL NOT BE WELL FOR YOU. have you forgotten,  God saw America there, He saw Great Britain there, but chosed to made you a Nigerian. This is your nation, and if you don&#39;t wish it well, it won&#39;t be well with you. it is well with AMERICA TODAY BECAUSE THEY ALWAYS WISH AMERICA WELL WITH THE WORD OF THEIR MOUTH. THEIR SLOGAN REMAINS &lt;strong&gt;GOD BLESS AMERICA&lt;/strong&gt;. what is our own slogan here?

God or the devil?&lt;br /&gt;this is a very simple question with simple answer: the people which comprises me and you constituted the government.&lt;br /&gt;so if you say that the government are the problems of Nigeria, then  you are saying that you and i are the problems of Nigeria which is the real answer; although many of us do not see it this way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LET&#39;S analysed it together. when a road within our vicinity got roughened or bad, everyone keeps shouting government. tell me, who are those living near that road, the government or you? that is the number one illustration. WHEN the government constructed a road and all you knew how to do is to keep on pouring dirty water on it, dirtying it and boring in it, you, thereby creating holes that could be expanded by rain water. this in the presence of flood could expand to a great potholes which could lead to gully erosion.&lt;br /&gt;Now when such began to happen, it is a thing that everybody in such street could contribute some money or the other to repair every damage, but you see,  they are all waiting on the government to come and do it for them. as times goes by such if neglected could endager the whole of that area, as we all knew, a sticth in time saves nine.&lt;br /&gt;you don&#39;t need to wait on any government on what you knew  you could do. LEAVE the hard part for the government to tackle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;also look at our rich men today, they don&#39;t want the money to leave their domain and they are not ready to use it to help someone. i would suggest that the government set up a law for all the industries and investors in the country. IF YOU WANT TO INVEST IN MY COUNTRY, PER MONTH YOU WILL EITHER BE PAYING SOME CERTAIN AMOUNT TO CERTAIN BODY OR YOU MUST SPONSOR A SECTOR IN THE COUNTRIES DEVELOPMENTAL PROGRAM.&lt;br /&gt;this will give rooms for foreign investors to invest in NIGERIAN AND NOT ONLY IN NIGERIA. and this will also lessoned the burden on the government.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i must confess, we are the problems of Nigeria and we are also the solution to the problems of Nigeria.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;government cannot do everything, so we need investors to help them out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MIND YOU, THE GOVERNMENT ALSO IS NOT ALSO LEFT OUT IN THIS BLAME, FOR IT TAKES TWO TO TANGO. why should our government be selling all those goods that could have generate a lot of employment opportunity for our youth to the foreigners. i heard sometime that some gold were discovered in the north, but my greatest surprise was that the government of then decided to export that gold to Europe, i now thought it within me that if instead of taking it abroad we bring down investors to come and build industries here, may be some of our youth could have been employed.&lt;br /&gt;also why should a reasonable government be looting the people&#39;s money abroad? NOT LESS THAN 4 GOVERNORS WERE CONVICTED OF THIS SAME CRIME BETWEEN YEAR 2005-2007 STARTING FROM ALAMIESIEGHA OF BAYELSA STATE, TO AYO FAYOSE OF EKITI STATE. our presidents are not also left out. &lt;br /&gt;IN preparation for the 2007 election, in 2003, it was reported that BABANGIDA BUDGETTED $6BILLION. for what? for the 2007 poll. IF Such money is used on the educational sector of the country, may be our universities could have gained respect, may be we could have more than enough universities instead of this insufficient 89 universities.&lt;br /&gt;if such money is used on our sport sector, may be Nigeria could have win the world cup, or may be we could have been the best sporting Nation in the previous olympics in beijing. what a government indeed.&lt;br /&gt;BABANGIDA ISN&#39;T THE ONLY ONE ON THIS, IT IS LIKE A CULTURE TO ALL OUR PAST AND PRESENT PRESIDENTS IN NIGERIA.&lt;br /&gt;ALSO, WHY SOULD WE HAVE TO BE ABANDONING MOST OF THOSE THINGS WE COULD HAVE MODIFIED JUST BECAUSE WE WANT NEW THINGS TO TAKE THEIR PLACE?&lt;br /&gt;this reminds me of those time when we were still using those record plates or cd and catridge, at the emergence  of VHS those two go to an extinct in Nigeria. at the emergence of VCD, VHS was becoming obsolete again, and at the emanation of DVD, VHS become extinct while VCD is becoming obsolete again. why do all these have to be so?&lt;br /&gt;we have capable engineers in this nation who could turn all those thing into something more modern to the extent that even the white will admire it. but we are wasting too  much resources.&lt;br /&gt;our VANDALIZERS are also not left out, as the government is building something, so also our youth are VITUATING it. a lot of pipelines have been vandalised, our power stations is not also left out in this attack.&lt;br /&gt;you see, everybody is a mess, both the government and its citizens are the problems of their own Nation.&lt;br /&gt;as one tries to build it as a nation, so the other are saying NO WAY!!! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;marquee behavior=&quot;alternate&quot;&gt;WHAT A NATION!!!&lt;/marquee&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://allonnigeria.blogspot.com/feeds/8084569815550388254/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/8619774895777337204/8084569815550388254?isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8619774895777337204/posts/default/8084569815550388254'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8619774895777337204/posts/default/8084569815550388254'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://allonnigeria.blogspot.com/2008/08/who-are-problems-of-nigeria.html' title='WHO ARE THE PROBLEMS OF NIGERIA?'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8619774895777337204.post-8675460042364260808</id><published>2008-08-19T19:08:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-08-26T15:27:05.709-07:00</updated><title type='text'>PROBLEMS OF NIGERIAN POLITICAL SYSTEM</title><content type='html'>LOOKING at the Number of Parties Nigeria alone has, one may conclude that  everybody want to rule.  this create room for disunity among us.&lt;br /&gt;looking at the 2007 polls, close to about three politicians were reported killed. this was as a result of the fact that everyone wants to rule.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;one of the deceased of whose name we all knew to be Funsho Williams was stabbed straight in the heart even in his own home.&lt;br /&gt;the police play their fake role by anouncing a huge amount of money for anybody who could help trace anything to convict the killer. they too knew that nobody would come out to declare such or acclaim himself as the doer of the phenomenon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the same thing happens in Ekiti state where Ayo Daramola, a Gubernatorial aspirant of PDP was also killed like an ordinary goat.&lt;br /&gt;this thing  keeps on  occuring in Nigeria and seeing this, one may conclude that there is in fact No security in the Nation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;it has been happening since, even from the days of General  Murtala Mohammed, enroute the days of Chief Justice Bola Ige.

previously from the outset of Nigeria development, it was know that the highest denomination happened to be one Naira of which the picture is displayed  here:&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLKX4FcxitmPWAC53FbxN2ztIUW2I7r6UYMlwuOQWxid-fXI92ytmeco5mUASmkRphga7-VHgDVL7tnVJYGfyEHo-UtoA3nb-Vx44TI_SXVZvWvR_D2_ZyxXjEnnrLgvvQVpDzoDBEUx4C/s1600-h/onenaira.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5233207002514492482&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLKX4FcxitmPWAC53FbxN2ztIUW2I7r6UYMlwuOQWxid-fXI92ytmeco5mUASmkRphga7-VHgDVL7tnVJYGfyEHo-UtoA3nb-Vx44TI_SXVZvWvR_D2_ZyxXjEnnrLgvvQVpDzoDBEUx4C/s400/onenaira.jpg&quot; style=&quot;cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

this money today seems to be of no value, yet while it was reigning, it could buy what today&#39;s one thousand Naira cannot buy.&lt;br /&gt;
the next to it being the fifty kobo of which picture i displayed  here:&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHtSB1neIzK3gE9WhNwlopCfgWZ381UPs8-BIllrECnipmx0g0zmGmWfTZKh1ExhSWcQEUiGOmW21FRGz4lK2qT904BSUfDytDruJdrbTn9f33ys7JLmW3O1slGlK1EViJyn3sbPkUcs4k/s1600-h/50k.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5233209364911285362&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHtSB1neIzK3gE9WhNwlopCfgWZ381UPs8-BIllrECnipmx0g0zmGmWfTZKh1ExhSWcQEUiGOmW21FRGz4lK2qT904BSUfDytDruJdrbTn9f33ys7JLmW3O1slGlK1EViJyn3sbPkUcs4k/s400/50k.jpg&quot; style=&quot;cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

these money were later abandoned and cancel in the public although not in banks.&lt;br /&gt;
since then, the one Naira which was equivalence to one dollar and 0.5 pounds became so down that presently about 380 Naira makes a dollar. what a shame!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
as  a result of these the CBN governor decided to  effect changes by bringing in the issue of Naira denomination, but was later antagonised and the processed abandoned.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
the report was made public in this report:The quantity of Naira notes that Nigerians must carry in their pockets to pay for simple transactions is set to crash next year when a 100 naira note is redenominated to one naira under a plan unveiled by the Central Bank of Nigeria [CBN] yesterday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The apex bank said two zeros will be removed from the value of each existing currency denomination, so that N1000 becomes N10 while the value of the current N500 note will plummet to N5.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking at a ceremony in Abuja to unveil what CBN called &quot;The new strategic focus on the Naira&quot;, its Governor Prof Charles Chukwuma Soludo said this act would restore the value of the naira close to what it was in the early 1980&#39;s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He said with the new policy, which takes effect from August 1, next year, the naira&#39;s value to a dollar would change to N1.25k, as against the current exchange rate of N125 to the dollar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Soludo said, &quot;We intend to restructure the entire currency by dropping two zeroes or moving two decimal points to the left from the currency, and issuing more coin denominations. This would entail a total currency exchange and phasing-out of all the existing denominations from August 1, 2008. Effectively, at the current exchange rate, this policy would mean that the Naira to US dollar exchange rate would be around Nl.25 to US$1 then. All Naira assets, prices and contracts will be re-denominated by dropping two zeroes or two decimal points to the left with effect from this date.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He said with the currency reform, the N1000, N500, N200, N100, and N50 notes would all be phased out and the N20 would be the highest paper denomination. &quot;Effectively, our plan will restore the value of the Naira (in the short-term) close to what it was in 1985, before the commencement of the Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP) in 1986,&quot; he said. &quot;Re-denomination and re-introduction of totally new currency structure (notes and coins) following the progress so far with other reforms and the enabling conditions in the economy today are designed to better anchor inflationary expectations, strengthen public confidence in the Naira, make for easier conversion to other currencies, reverse tendency for currency substitution, eliminate higher denomination notes with lower value, reduce the cost of production, distribution and processing of currency, promote the usage of coins and thus a more efficient pricing and payments system, and lay the foundation for the convertibility of the Naira as well as make it the &#39;Reference currency&#39; in Africa,&quot; Soludo also said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Under the new currency structure, naira notes will only come in 50 kobo, 1 Naira, 5 Naira, 10 Naira and 20 Naira denominations, while the coins would come in 1 kobo, 2 kobo, 5 kobo, 10 kobo and 20 kobo denominations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The CBN chief said the new policy, which is also part of the financial sector reforms, will make the naira the currency of choice in Africa, and that great efforts would be made at ensuring the stability of the naira and making sure that it integrates globally with other major currencies of the world. He said three measures would be taken to ensure that the currency redenomination is effective. They are, adoption of a policy to focus greatly on minimising inflation in the country, sharing of part of the country&#39;s Federation Account Allocation to the federal and state governments in dollars; as well as &quot;Current Account Liberalization/Convertibility and Accession to Article VIII of the IMP.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Under the first measure, the bank would ensure as a matter of priority that inflation was minimised so that the value of the naira remains stable. &quot;The CBN will adopt inflation target as the nominal anchor for monetary policy with effect from January 1, 2009. Low and stable inflation will be our monetary policy&#39;s primary long term goal.&quot; The second measure, he said, entails distributing part of the country&#39;s federation account allocation to the federal government and the states in dollars as a way of controlling excess liquidity which can often cause inflation. The third measure, on the other hand, will be liberalisation of current accounts: &quot;This would entail that Nigeria eliminates all restrictions on current account transactions, and accession to Article VIII of the IMP means that the policy is not easily reversible,&quot; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
According to Soludo, the currency reform is not a strange occurrence in the world as many countries have done it in the past while others are currently doing it. &quot;Several countries in the world have undertaken currency re-denomination at various times and for different reasons, including: Afghanistan (2002); Germany (1923, 1948); Argentina (1970; 1983; 1985; 1992); Bolivia (1963, 1987); Brazil (1967, 1970, 1986, 1989, 1990, 1993, 1994); China (1955); South Korea (1962); Mexico (1993, 1996); Ghana (2007); Israel (1948, 1960, 1980, 1985); Turkey (2005); Angola (1995, 1999); and others,&quot; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Evidently, many countries have had to undertake the re-denomination more than once. In the case of Brazil, it had to do it many times before it got it right. The major challenge is to undertake other complementary reforms, particularly macroeconomic reforms that will underpin price stability and continuing confidence in the economy,&quot; he added.  &lt;br /&gt;
Soludo said the move has become necessary because &quot;The African Union has granted Nigeria the right to host the Headquarters of the African Central Bank when the common currency in Africa materialises. We must therefore lead the way in terms of properly aligned currency structure and sound monetary policy framework.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
this is a very good issue but when those in power saw that their affluence would be affected they decided to make the plan fell through, since  they knew that their million dollars would be million Naira instead of the present billion Naira equivalence of million dollars.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
they don&#39;t want to go  down and they don&#39;t want other people to enjoy the dividends of their father land Nigeria.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
this is very shameful indeed  and in fact  it  makes someone to doubt it whether NAIRA COULD EVER MEET DOLLAR talkless of subdueing it.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://allonnigeria.blogspot.com/feeds/8421939992316669951/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/8619774895777337204/8421939992316669951?isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8619774895777337204/posts/default/8421939992316669951'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8619774895777337204/posts/default/8421939992316669951'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://allonnigeria.blogspot.com/2008/08/will-naira-ever-subdue-dollar.html' title='WILL NAIRA EVER SUBDUE DOLLAR?'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLKX4FcxitmPWAC53FbxN2ztIUW2I7r6UYMlwuOQWxid-fXI92ytmeco5mUASmkRphga7-VHgDVL7tnVJYGfyEHo-UtoA3nb-Vx44TI_SXVZvWvR_D2_ZyxXjEnnrLgvvQVpDzoDBEUx4C/s72-c/onenaira.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8619774895777337204.post-2706823518995719976</id><published>2008-08-03T11:13:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2015-09-10T07:04:10.099-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="fulani"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="hausa"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="ibo"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="igbo"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="ijaw"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="itsekri."/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="nupe"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="tiv"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="urhobo"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="yoruba"/><title type='text'>WHICH IS THE BEST TRIBE IN NIGERIA?</title><content type='html'>LOOKING at all the tribes in Nigeria, one may want to know which one is the most friendly and hospitable people.&lt;br /&gt;here are the analysis to arrive at the desired answer:&lt;br /&gt;NOTE THAT IN THIS ANALYSIS; HAUSAS  AS USED REPRESENT THE NORTHERNERS WHILE THE YORUBAS, THE SOUTH-WESTERNERS AND THE IGBOS THE SOUTHERNERS/SOUTH EASTERNERS.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;THE HAUSAS:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Normally looking at this tribe one may say that due to their iliteracy, were supposed to be the least of all the Nigerian tribes. however, one needs to examine this people very well before reaching unarguable conclusion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the hausas are a group of people that are very good at diverse things. one of which lies in their ability to guide and guard their animals; this is the spirit of David. David was the most outcast among the children of his father. But he was never neglected by the most high God.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Normally if we are to judge them by civilization, we would conclude that they don&#39;t worth ruling, but, they were assigned the tasks of ruling. although such is  not their birthright, they could lead properly just as they always succeded in leading their cows via a green pastures. this was the same characters that God saw in Moses before he appointed him the leader and the deliverer of israelits. he did it perfectly of course.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;coming to the natural realm, the hausas are the most loving tribes in the sense that, they never complained no matter what you give them, they are always satisfied and they always have free  minds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the hausas can put their money on the table even with a stranger and go elsewhere with the view to meeting it on their arrival.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;if you ask hausas to help you break down hard notes like #500 into smaller units, if they have, they will never say i don&#39;t. if they do not have, they&#39;ll rather show you their pocket for you to know of a surety that they didn&#39;t have. unlike other tribes who always prefer to say &#39;i don&#39;t have&#39; even when they have.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;however, they have a very brutal culture which  makes all their honey spoiled by bile. what could that be you may ask? they always love shedding of blood with a view to defending their religion. a lot of religious crises has made many people run away from the hausas tribes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;this indeed is a blow to their morality and modesty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;THE YORUBAS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THIS wonderful tribe is known for their perseverance, intelligence, innovations, endurance and hardworking. Yorubas have one of the best cultures on the earth, it&#39;s only in Yoruba Land i&#39;ve seen younger ones prostrating to greet their elders. Yoruba Proverbs remains one of those that stood the test of time, No other Tribes Adulates their kings like yoruba does. A kind is always pacified by the &#39;EWIs&#39; of the &#39;AKEWIs&#39;. Name any traditional culture and display, festival, Yoruba remain the only tribe in Nigeria many ascribed &#39;PARTYING&#39; to for Yoruba Loves to party a lot. Yoruba as well remain the only tribe that can finish you with greetings: there is greeting for virtually everything in Yoruba, Eku- Ewu Omo is a greeting that congratulates the Develiverying mothers for scaling through child births. Eku Aaro means: Good morning; Eku- Osan means: Good afternoon; Eku- Ale means: good evening; Eku Ounje congratulates you for pouncing on a freshly prepared sweet delicacy. These Among others describes the unique and Rich Culture of the Yorubas. in terms of civilization, they are the best and the most literate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;indeed, the best academics always emanate from them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;however, the great exploits that would have been achieved by their great wisdom and  knowledge has been slowed down  by their disunity, stinginess and spiritual adept. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;in yoruba land, at least we see daily nothing less than hundreds of mad people on the street virtually everyday and this often a times is ascribed to spiritual attacks.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;yoruba don&#39;t love  each other deeply, neither did they want upliftment for each other, it&#39;s as if everyone is in a competition of: &#39;i don&#39;t want you to get to the level where i am&#39;.&lt;br /&gt;as one rises up, so the other looks for a way of drawing  him/her down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;there is no unity and Trust like it should be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;THE IGBOS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THIS is a great tribe as well. &lt;br /&gt;in terms of education and civilization, they are alright.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;they love each other, although they do not in most cases extend the love to other tribes.&lt;br /&gt;they are not so stingy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;however, they are a tribe every other tribes finds it difficult to trust. the Igbos are very creative people and they seems to have the ability to be able to photocopy and pirate anything made by the whites. I&#39;m sure if they have the proper financial support would have been the industrial power arm of the nation, despite the fact that the assistance is not forth coming, you can&#39;t neglect their great ability to pirates any kind of movies, songs and books. as far as Igbos are concerned, Business or anything that rakes in money is of utmost importance. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, they have this in common with the Yorubas: spiritual adept, hundreds of Mad people on their streets. Premature Death many also ascribed to spiritual attacks. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so it is now left for you all to judge!&lt;br /&gt;which is the best tribe in Nigeria?</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://allonnigeria.blogspot.com/feeds/2706823518995719976/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/8619774895777337204/2706823518995719976?isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8619774895777337204/posts/default/2706823518995719976'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8619774895777337204/posts/default/2706823518995719976'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://allonnigeria.blogspot.com/2008/08/which-is-best-tribes-in-nigeria.html' title='WHICH IS THE BEST TRIBE IN NIGERIA?'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8619774895777337204.post-4304752958903521419</id><published>2008-07-23T16:56:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-23T17:24:43.534-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="agriculture"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="biafra"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="culture."/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="nigeria"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="ogudu"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="oil"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="petrol"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="unity"/><title type='text'>SHOULD NIGERIA DIVIDE?</title><content type='html'>this is a question many people have raised and let go. it is not just a simple matter to treat with such a negligence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;should Nigeria divide? if the answer is yes, then why?&lt;br /&gt;if the answer is NO, then who does it favour?&lt;br /&gt;in my own opinion, Nigeria is a country whose mysteries is beyond our own  imagination. that Name NIGERIA is  not just a name,  it is  something so spiritual with its meaning not yet clear to us. i have ever wondered in my life why with so much pains and servile and servitudes in this nation, anywhere Nigerian goes, they always performs to the optimum either for good or for evil. definitely, nigeria is not just a nation, and from what i have  noticed in our spiritual and psychological attitudes could define Nigeria as &#39;always excellent, no matter the state of conduct&#39;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nigeria is not the problem my people, Nigeria is like an angeloid and the most functional among the so many wives that Africa has. so what and who is the problem of God&#39;s chosing nation for Africa? Nigerian are the problems of Nigeria.&lt;br /&gt;the muslims defined the term as &quot;ALUBARIKA&quot; but not &quot;ETO&quot;. in other words &#39;blessing&#39; and not &#39;builder&#39;. that is the spirit of Nigeria. it is the spirit of always excelling.&lt;br /&gt;so why trying to divide?&lt;br /&gt;well if our unison is not in concord again, then we should try to retain the name NIGERIA. what do i mean? Nigeria is a divine nation and no men&#39;s wisdom can dictate how nigeria should be. so the only thing we can do is to learn from nations like GERMANY, VIETNAM, and KOREA. these nation today were or was (in the case of germany) divided when they could no longer hold themselves together as a nation. yet they retain their mother name. and that was why we have a nation like north and south vietnam, north and south korea. what the nations have done lies in the fact that they  are one and that in the nearest future their children could reunited to become a nation again. that was the case of germany. previously  we have west and east germany but today we have only one germany.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so if Nigeria must divide, which i don&#39;t really support, yet if we must do, we must note the fact that God has joined us together as one and so we should not have a new nation among us, rather, we should retain our mother name so that in the nearest our chidren or brothers could reunited to become a well organised indivisible nation like germany.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;here is my suggestion: we don&#39;t want any BIAFRA, but we may still tolerate SOUTH NIGERIA and NORTH NIGERIA. with this we are rest assured that when matters come to unison in the future, our children or brothers could come again, even together as one.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://allonnigeria.blogspot.com/feeds/4304752958903521419/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/8619774895777337204/4304752958903521419?isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8619774895777337204/posts/default/4304752958903521419'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8619774895777337204/posts/default/4304752958903521419'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://allonnigeria.blogspot.com/2008/07/should-nigeria-divide.html' title='SHOULD NIGERIA DIVIDE?'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8619774895777337204.post-1705359358425770445</id><published>2008-07-23T16:25:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-08-03T11:14:43.754-07:00</updated><title type='text'>THE PROBLEMS OF NIGER DELTA</title><content type='html'>owning to all the pandemonium in the Niger delta, i have decided to reach out to the  world through my blogs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;about 2 weeks ago, i read a particular News on the yahoo  homepage describing Nigeria as the main reason for the fast inflation of the fuels to about $200.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I decided to go to the home scene, to view the complaints of the people, and what i got was fantastic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;all the answers points to the fact that Nigeria have a bad government. but why? if Nigeria government are functioning as they were described,  then they would have payed the Niger delta people some compensation as a result of the damages that oil driling had caused.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;however i have a different opinion on this issue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i want to appeal to  the Niger delta people that they should ask God for forgiveness. why?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;today they were all blaming the government that the government do not help them; yes, the government were to be blame for this indeed, but what of the problems that the  Niger delta people created for themselves which is now the Major factor destroying their lands?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;what is this one saying? you may ask? yes, i am very sure that our governments have brain, and so they would not execute a project which will at last hurt his own people. so, who are the people vandalising the pipelines without repairing them? the governments or the youths?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;that&#39;s the first question.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the second lies in the fact that, on sept. 23, 2005, it was reported that 4 pipelines were vandalised in warri alone, and a few days latter, 2 national power grids were vandalised. who did  all those? the government or the youths? i am sure that we all knew the implication of an exposed pipelines and what it may cause. i mean such could cost  the nearby villages to  lost their farms, waters adultrated and oil spillage. now when such began to happen, we are all shouting government, meanwhie we are mostly in many times the problems of ourselves. also you know what a vandalised grid could cause? it is automatic power failure. and when such begins to happen, we start shouting government all the time but neglecting the fact that we are the real brain behind most of our problems.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;yes government have their own blame to bear. i mean they should value the people whose resources are the major wealth income of the nation, nevertheless,  the government alone cannot be blame for this. why? it takes two to tango.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the Niger delta should try to help protect the government investment no matter how, they should realise that the government    is  really trying their best and so we too should help them till their dream for us become a reality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NEVERTHELESS, i am using this opportunity to challenge our government that they should  arise to the needs of this people. Nigeria is  one and should never be divided. the word of God said: &quot;oh  how good and how pleasant it is  for brothers to dwell  together in unity&quot; (ps.133:1).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;an addage epitomised it in this form: &#39;bi ara ko ba ro okun, ara ko ni ro adiye&#39; and &#39; irorun igi, ohun ni irorun eye&#39; meaning &#39;the peace of the birdis an indication that their is peace with the tree&#39;.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://allonnigeria.blogspot.com/feeds/1705359358425770445/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/8619774895777337204/1705359358425770445?isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8619774895777337204/posts/default/1705359358425770445'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8619774895777337204/posts/default/1705359358425770445'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://allonnigeria.blogspot.com/2008/07/niger-delta.html' title='THE PROBLEMS OF NIGER DELTA'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8619774895777337204.post-7702822865922893681</id><published>2008-07-09T18:28:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-09T18:29:27.717-07:00</updated><title type='text'>THE NIGERIAN SPIRIT</title><content type='html'>Nigeria is a country known for a lot of things.It is known for good, bad, excellence, knowledge, and so on.How can you know a great nation? from the world of the most high, any prophet that want to become great would be know for the above characters. USA have once be like Nigeria. But it was latter reshaped.So can we say that Nigeria is bad? let&#39;s do some analysis: It was in Nigeria that using human being to make money through rituals become somewhat a culture. Doucer (Bribe) is not left out, examination malpractises becomes normal, and a series of others. this is a perfect illustration to judge the beauty of a nation. However, the case of nigeria is different.&lt;br /&gt;I had once took an atlas to illustrate Nigeria in the global ranks and i found out something. the spirit of God open my eyes to comparing the world as a body. as a body we have the head, in which the brain is contained. the brain is further sub-divided into the cerebrum, cerebellum, medulla oblongata, pons varolli, optic and olfactory lobes, and we also know that the brain extended itself via the spinal cord.&lt;br /&gt;Also in the body we have the chest, in which is contained the heart, lungs, and the ribs.&lt;br /&gt;Also in the body we see the abdomen, the forearms and the hind limbs were not left out.&lt;br /&gt;What am i trying to coined out?&lt;br /&gt;Comparing the world with this, we discover  that, the USAs, CANADAs, UKs, FRANCEs, GERMANYs are  cerebrum part of the brain of the world. Italy were like the corpus granulosum of the Brain, The RUSSIAs , JAPANs, CHINAs were the cerebellum part of the brain.&lt;br /&gt;The legs of the world are the Indias, south africa and the australians. But we don&#39;t know the heart.&lt;br /&gt;i then sat down to exermine the heart of the world very well. who could this be? first let&#39;s look at the function of the heart!&lt;br /&gt;a heart sustain all other part of the bodyit is like the most dirty aspect of the body with the livers; why, because they are red in colour which divers from the white colour of the brain.a heart loses or distributed most of its products to the whole body.&lt;br /&gt;But upon all these, even the brain depends on the heart. although the heart too depends on the brain because it is the brain that manufacture the drugs that keeps the heart pumping. But it is the brain that depend mostly on the heart because before the invention of drugs, the heart is still performing its duty...&lt;br /&gt;Now looking at the position of the heart in the body and comparing it with the world, i discovered that Nigeria is the only country who performs most of all those operations&lt;br /&gt;it is appearing as the most dirty nation just as the heart but it is the only african nation that has ever lost most of her children during the slave trades to the brains of the world.also Nigeria is the country where malaysia  in the 1960s came to plunder the palm oil produce which they later became the world&#39;s best producer of the product.not only malaysia, i could also remember country like England carrying a lot of our products overs which they later became the world&#39;s best producer of the product.&lt;br /&gt;i mean every single product taken here to anywhere always suvived to become the world&#39;s best.&lt;br /&gt;also Nigeria when checking through his position in the world&#39;s atlas discovers that it occupies the approximate position that the heart occupy. try this by taking the world as a flat sheet and measuring it from left to right and from up to down; you only discover that the midpoint of the world lies approximately on the location of Nigeria in the world.&lt;br /&gt;also looking unto the africa continent, you discovers that there is virtually no inter tribal or independence war fought without the help of Nigeria.&lt;br /&gt;this is indeed Nigeria spirit. Nigeria might be the most dirty, yet the survival of the world today depends on Nigeria.&lt;br /&gt;this is the reason why our  representatives always clinches excellence anywhere they are.&lt;br /&gt;the blood of Nigeria is excellence. no matter how bad Nigeria is, he is the TRIGAL OF THE GUN CALLED AFRICA.&lt;br /&gt;and as far as i am concerned, if USA could be reshaped upon all its bad shape in 1877, i believe that a man is enough to move the heavens to building this Great Nation. what we need to do is that we need to keep on prophesying. everytime the USA wakes up they mostly sing one song which is GOD BLESS USA, BUT HERE WHENEVER WE WAKE UP WE ALWAYS CURSE OUR NATION, HOW CAN GOD WALK IN US?
