Nothing against you,

But I don't seem to understand how Nigerians design websites, honestly, especially when its an official website, they just copy paste and put some silly html codes and thats all.

Looks like rubbish, National Sports Festival Website looking like Somalia fishing store

God help that country, from government to the common people never take things seriously.

bandiejay:

Plz i need hosting site that accept payment with Websufer card Contribution would be appreciated, thanks
all

To be clear, you need a website that will accept Zenith Bank Web Sufer Cards?

It is not about the hosting rather the payment system that will accept this type of card. From my research, it seems like not all payment system is accepting the card.

If you want, I can make further inquiries about it and build the site for you with the payment system. I will be using SagePay, it is one of the best payment system.

Abu-Maryam:

@NL
I didnt see a coz for an alarm. American prediction is flaw for a decades. The assumption of America instigating Nigeria to go for war is debunk. Look America invaded Iraq coz of Saddam's regime having weapon of Mass distruction, but at later day the whole world agreed Saddam has no WMD, but they're still fightn the war the can not win.  Look at Afghanistan, the country is tupsy-turvy, and Osama bin laden still is leaving in mountaneos Tora-Bora,
If American prediction could be truth, why they didnt predict 9/11 and prevent it. ,
Breaking up of Nigeria is not the panacea, but having leaders who are Nigerians( i mean patriotic, not corrupt morons).
If the citizens become contempted and potented , all jeers and rants, nepotism, sectarian crisis, etc would not have a place in our country. Our problem now , most of us are hungry and blind, thats why we're blaming each other. Our pristine issue is corrupt leadership.
May God bless Nigeria and bless you. May God give our belove country peace and Unity. Amen.

Facts, good statement.

I didnt know these BecomeRich is still here , mennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Anyway, I wish and pray this doesnt happen, atleast not war.

osbar67:

US, always pokenosing in other country's affairs!where were all these CIA agents and possible war prediction team on sept 11?common Osama they cannot caught.(catch).I no say a lot of our run away brodas dey always used mouth share naija instead of to follow plan seriously how to eliminate all these thieves we have as leaders.God dey sha and America no matter how hard they try cannot break naija.weda dey use mind,head,heart,leg,spiritual or even physical game.Na my opinion sha and it's my entitlement.

Good statement bro, I wish we all can come together and believe in ourselves like you said. We should also do it our way rather than this foreign interest.

All I can say is, if this war happens, it will affect all Africa. Nigeria is Huge and with alot of population.

If countries like Ghana try to contribute, our investments and top business men in Africa will surely do something not good. lets forget about America cus they always wants something for their interest as they said in that report about that they strongly depend on our resources.

I hope and doubt it wont create a massive problem in the whole of Africa.

US Army Prepares for Nigeria’s Possible Break-up
By Paul Ohia with agency report, 08.17.2009


The United States military had, in May 2008, conducted a war games test called Unified Quest 2008, to ascertain how its military might respond to a war in parts of Africa including Nigeria and Somalia.
According to an article written by Director of the African Security Research Project in Washington, DC and Guest Columnist of AllAfrica Global Media, Mr. Daniel Volman, the Nigerian scenario was predicated upon a possible war in 2013. The article observed that it was the first time the African scenarios were included, as part of Pentagon’s plan to create a new military command for Africa: the United States Africa Command (AFRICOM). It also emerged that “the free flow of natural resources from Africa to the global market” was one of the “guiding principles” of AFRICOM, as articulated by Vice iral Robert Moeller at an AFRICOM conference held at Fort McNair on February 18, 2008.
The 2013 war date, the article said, was a test of how AFRICOM could respond to a crisis in Nigeria in the event that rival factions and rebels fight for control of the oil fields of the Niger Delta and the government was near collapse.
Among scenarios examined, Volman said, were the possibility of direct American military intervention involving some 20,000 US troops in order to "secure the oil,” bearing in mind that Nigeria is a major supplier of US oil needs.
Also, the question of how to handle possible splits between factions within the Nigerian government was tested.
Other options included diplomatic pressure, military action, with or without the aid of European and African nations.
One participant, US Marine Corps Lieutenant Colonel Mark Stanovich, drew up a plan that called for the deployment of thousands of U.S. troops within 60 days, which even he thought was undesirable, Volman stated.
"American intervention could send the wrong message: that we are backing a government that we don't intend to," Stanovich said. Other participants suggested that it would be better if the U.S. government sent a request to South Africa or Ghana to send troops into Nigeria instead,” the article stated.
According to Major Robert Thornton, an officer with the t Center for International Security Force Assistance at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, "it became apparent that it was actually green (the host nation government) which had the initiative, and that any blue [the U.S. government and its allies] actions within the frame were contingent upon what green was willing to tolerate and accommodate.”“As the game progressed, according to former U.S. ambassador David Lyon, it became clear that the government of Nigeria was a large part of the problem. As he put it, ‘we have a circle of elites [the government of Nigeria] who have seized resources and are trying to perpetuate themselves. Their interests are not exactly those of the people,” said the article.
“The recommendations which the participants drew up for the Army's Chief of Staff, General George Casey, do not appear to be publicly available, as what the participants finally concluded was not known. But since the war games took place in the midst of the presidential election campaign, General Casey decided to brief both John McCain and Barack Obama on its results,” the article stated.
The game ended without military intervention because one of the rival factions executed a successful coup and formed a new government that sought stability.
AFRICOM representatives were said to be in communication throughout the test, but non of their officers were part of the event, said Volman.
Volman observed that neither the General of AFRICOM William Ward nor Vice iral Mueller “were under illusions about the” purpose of the command.
“Thus when General Ward appeared before the House Armed Services Committee on March 13, 2008, he cited America’s growing dependence on African oil as a priority issue for AFRICOM and went on to proclaim that combating terrorism would be “AFRICOM’s number one theatre-wide goal.” He barely mentioned development, humanitarian aid, peace-keeping or conflict resolution.”
“Since then, as General Ward has demonstrated in an interview with AllAfrica, he has become more adept at sticking to the US government official public position on AFRICOM’s aims and on its escalating military operations on the African continent,” stated the piece. Volman argued that contrary to expectations, President Obama had chosen to increase US military intervention in Africa by providing arms and training to the Transitional Government in Somalia, an attempt to make the continent a central battlefield in the “global war on terrorism.”
He further argued that the operations of AFRICOM had been expanded through a proposed budget for financial year 2010, which will provide increased security assistance to repressive regimes in Nigeria, Niger, Chad, and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and key US allies such as Ethiopia, Kenya, Djibouti, Rwanda and Uganda.
The war game test drew various participants from the State Department and other US government agencies, foreign military officers (including military representatives from several NATO countries, Australia and Israel), journalists, academics, and the private military contractors that helped run the war games: the Rand Corporation and Booz-Allen.
Another of the four scenarios that were war-gamed was a test of how AFRICOM could respond to a crisis in Somalia — set in 2025 — caused by escalating insurgency and piracy. Unfortunately, no information on the details of the scenario is available.
The five-day game was designed to look at what crisis might erupt in different parts of the world in five to 25 years and how the US might respond. Back in 2005, the US had predicted that Nigeria would break-up in 2015. The report was highly criticised by Nigerian leaders.

This is a wonderful project, my people I keep hearing some good things this days like the jackson project in badagry lagos Nigeria and for the first time there will be an Olympic touch in Nigeria lagos on 13th march 2009 and South Africa after.

Well I pray things starts to change for good.

nuzo:

The move has two sides:

1. They are bringing the sins of some of our ancestors and memories of blacks' inhumanity to blacks to our face.

2. Would in one way or the other boost tourism in naija.

1. No they are not, memorial slavery is all over Africa and we need to show respect for our ancestors that was slaved and killed by the whites for no reason.

2. Yes it will, it will be the most expensive and prestigious tourist attraction (for slavery historical symbol) in the whole Africa atleast if the project is sueccessfully completed. Yes it will boost alot of tourist attraction but the flood now is from some discouraging people (US and UK) and also they are complaining its a bit hard for the Europeans and Americans to get a tourist visa cus they will need letter of invitation but I think they will sought all out, . . . . . Lets see how it goes

One of pop superstar Michael Jackson's brothers, Marlon, is involved in a controversial plan to develop a $3.4bn (£2.4bn) slavery memorial and luxury resort in Badagry, Nigeria.
Andrew Walker
BBC News, Nigeria .

The historic slave port is to be transformed through the bizarre combination of a slave history theme park and a museum dedicated to double Grammy-winning pop-soul group the Jackson Five.

The idea is that the band will help attract African-American tourists keen to trace their roots back to Nigeria.

The men behind the plan say it will honour the history of the transatlantic slave trade and provide employment opportunities for Nigerians.

But the plan has been condemned by Nigerian commentators.

Slave tourism

The African-American history trail is worth billions of dollars, the developers say.

Ghana and Senegal have successfully turned slave ports into tourist attractions.


The Jackson Five got discos moving in the 1970s and the 1980s
The developers say the Badagry Historical Resort will be marketed to African-American tourists as a mixture of luxury tourist attractions and historical education.

Visitors will be able to see the route their ancestors walked, shackled together as they were whipped toward the "point of no return".

They can then retire to their five-star hotel to drink cocktails by the pool.

Visitors will be able to pay their respects at the site of a mass grave for those who died before boarding ships across the Atlantic Ocean.

And then travel a few yards in a buggy to play a round of golf.

They can visit a replica slave ship to see the conditions Africans suffered, before visiting the world's only museum dedicated to the career of the Jackson Five.

Academics believe up to two million people died during the transatlantic slave trade between the 16th and 19th Centuries.

The Jacksons' upbeat tunes like ABC and Blame it on the Boogie enlivened US and UK discos throughout the 1970s.

On display at the museum will be animatronic vignettes of the band, memorabilia and "holographic displays" of the group that launched the career of Michael Jackson.

'The right place'

"The Badagry Historical Resort development project will certainly enhance the quality of life for millions of people across Nigeria," promotional material for the resort says.



It's like dancing on the graves of dead people and telling them you're honouring them

C Don Adinuba
Writer

But critics have dismissed the project as a cynical money-making scheme, inappropriate for the subject of such seriousness as the transatlantic slave trade.

The idea to bring together slavery and the Jackson Five came during a visit to Nigeria by US businessmen and former Jacksons singer Marlon Jackson.

"The Jackson Family had been looking for a place to site their memorabilia collection for some time," says Gary Loster, a former mayor of Saginaw, Michigan, and chief executive of The Motherland Group.

"We visited the site of the slave port in Badagry and Marlon turned to me and said: 'Let's put it here, this is right'.

"It's such an emotional place, and I think we all felt that it was the right place to have the Jackson family memorial."

Money

But respected writer and historian Toyin Falola has condemned the project.

"It is not appropriate from a cultural or historical point of view. Those who are looking for money care about money and no other thing," he said.

THE SLAVE TRADE

Transatlantic slave trade ran between 1650 and 1866
About 10.2m slaves arrived in Americas from Africa
35% came from the Niger River area
10-20% died on the journey
An estimated 4.5% died in slave ports like Badagry
Source: slavevoyages.org
The professor of history at the University of Texas and author of many books on the Nigerian diaspora and African-American history said the development was exploiting painful history.

"Money-making and historical memory are allies in the extension of capitalism. You cry with one eye and wipe it off with cold beer, leaving the other eye open for gambling," he said.

Writer, columnist and PR consultant C Don Adinuba said if the resort was being built by a company run by a white person, there would be uproar.

"This plan is morally reprehensible, it's like dancing on the graves of dead people and telling them you're honouring them."

The developers say they will treat the slave memorial with sensitivity.

They hope it will become a "historical destination" similar to the Holocaust museum in Berlin.

The luxury hotels near the site will provide jobs and development to the local economy, they say.

'Aggressive'

The developers, who include the creator of the hit TV series Power Rangers, have ambitious plans for the resort.

The Motherland Group says the resort alone will pull in 1.4m visitors in the first year, rising to 4.4m in five years.   

But that would represent an incredible increase.

Mr Loster says they will have to work with the government to change some of the bureaucratic restrictions on tourists if their project is to attract the numbers it needs.

Currently fewer than 300,000 tourists a year visit Nigeria, they say.

It is impossible to get a visa without a letter of invitation.

Flights to Nigeria are expensive, and there is little tourist infrastructure to cater for European or American consumers when they get there.

And then there is the country's reputation as a chaotic and violent place.

Mr Loster its their projected figures are "aggressive".

"We know the problems facing us, we have visited Nigeria several times," he said.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/7858010.stm

This is a very good thing and plan, well there is a delay for now but I hope they straight things up cus it will give the chance for tourist attraction to Nigeria and also create jobs. Just bcus the US and British needs invitation letters to get visa now they want to use that as excuse . . . All this white people with this their games, but we need invitation letter to their own country too now so I guess its 50-50.

Lets see how it goes if the project will be a success.

kosovo:

Nigerian become worst cyber-terrorsit.

, Let us acknowledge the good things also, cus every country has its own bad sides.

Kobojunkie:

Because they were born of nigerian parents or in nigeria, or because they each believe and profess that to be the case?
To date,

Cus they were born of Nigerian parents and mind you they consider themselves Nigerians. Do you know at any award they call their names quoting the Nigerian bla bla bla (maybe mention british born).

Kobojunkie:

I have yet to find any publication to prove this rumour is more than just that! Mr Grayson's story does not seem to exist outside of Nigeria.

My guy you funny o, even the American embassy in Nigeria (Lagos) comfirmed it that sure he was a Nigerian born in USA and was convicted of credit card fraud so he was jailed and after he was brought out then he got deported.

Kobojunkie:

Please tell me you are kidding!!!

I'm dead serious.

Kobojunkie:

Would you consider Seal, or Sade Adu Nigerians?

Good question, ofcourse they are Nigerians no doubt. Do you guys know that there was a man born in America and just bcus he was convicted of some frauds. . . . . he was deported to Nigeria, they said bcus his parents and origin is Nigeria.

Lets know were we stand, one can have the chance to make anything anywhere in the world but the invention will be considered under that name and these guy's name is Igbo which is Nigeria. Or just bcus he holds American port ?
