Mobile Nigeria Forum

Well i am really impressed by a news  in relation to the 207 government houses sold in Lagos. The link of the news is http://www.vanguardngr.com/articles/200 … 42005.html  The particular excerpt that   amazed me in his speech is

Obasanjo says..............I have a document sent to me anonymously (copy attached), where two hundred and seven people had been allocated or offered land property for sale surreptitiously; some with full payment, some with deposit and some without payment at all.” I also feel personally embarrassed that almost all members of my wife’s family are on that list.

well for the full content of the news just visit the later link. and Obasanjo really needs a KUDOS.

I had always thought OBJ to be sincere, albeit painstakingly slow, in his efforts to make Naija a better place. Even when the impacts of his efforts are not readily felt by the ordinary guy on the street, the fact remains that it takes more than 1 man, 100 infact, to run a country. He needs immense support and for people who are purportedly with him in his fight to see his vision and run with it. Alas, it is this same people who sabotage good efforts and intentions. Back to the point, I applaud his recent efforts with standing ovation. I throw my weight solidly behind him (well, for all that it's worth) and wish him the best. My fear now is that he is not 'taken care of' like Bola Ige. I mean let's face it, in a country where the Attorney G of the federation is murdered and nothing comes of it, who is to guarantee the president's safety, especially when he starts stepping on fat toes?

I think Nigeria needs people with fresh ideas and not just the recycling of old generals, come to look at it, we are still being ruled bu the same bunch of people, just different positions but the same old ideologies and thought process. Corruption has to be tackled, because most Nigerian feel they can always get away with anything as long as they have money, sadly to say, my self included, I can run the red light at a traffic stop, I know the worst that will happen is that I will be out of 1500 naira and I am on my merry way, which is sad. Corruption has to be tackled from the top all the way to the bottom.

@niyyie if u think this thread is not appropriate why then was a post section created titled: "Socialize!". a socilaize or lounge part in any forum is so members can talk about whatever they want other than what the forum focuses on. eg soccer, food, films etc. so if a member feels like letting other people know about his feelings on politics in this forum under the socilize section he/she is free to do so. what u should have said is that shallar! should have "considered" posting this on nairaland and not that it aint right to post it here. Nairaland is a great site but i think mr admin trying to get both of them started at the same time is somehow like trying to eat eat garri with your right hand and pap/akamu with your left. if nairaland was owned by someone else it would have been more understandable and a sort of competition. like u know: post on this site mainly on GSM matters, and on nairaland on everything.

well goodluck to naira land. i'll probably join it when activity picks up. but for now i think mobilenigeria provides me everything i need "rant-wise".

@niyyie,
Good point I must say, but people like me have a lil' problem with keeping up with so many fora.

@ axeprince: I couldn't help but laugh out loud when I read your joke. I'm in a office; the secretary couldn't help but come over to see what was making me laugh.

I agree with you on the fact that it ain't a good idea to be active in so many online fora. I already pointed this out to Seun in one of our private conversation. If he could merge the database for the two sites so one could access the two sites with the same username and password, that would be perfect.

I personally have not signed up on Nairaland either. Call it a phobia if you like. This Mobile Nigeria Forum is okay for me.

For the "So long...", it is a way of saying "goodbye". I enjoy ending my statements with "So long..."

I enjoyed your sense of humour all the same.

So long...

niyyie: I quite understand your point, but why do we have this segment called socialize? I can express my feeling any way I want it and anywhere I feel is ok. Shekenah
