Gboy101:
this the charge and bail lawyer go sit down. he is now irrelevant. he couldn't secure the release of zakzaky. he ran and abandoned the case he was paid for.

You mumu sha.

Liliyann:
There is nothing like a woman proposing to a man!!!
It isn't done!!
Biblically it is wrong!! Morally, it is unheard of, a man should be the one to make the first move, most guys are just stupid, don't be surprise, that they may decide to use it against you in the future!!
There are some things a man should do like paying of bills, taking care of his woman and helping in the household chores as well as proposing to a woman!!
I wonder why most guys are turning to weakling this days!!

You don talk finish?

I am interested in touring some countries in West Africa. How do we roll?

geometricaxis:
Too much story.

why do you have to explain to anybody talk less a stranger?

I'm disappointment he bothered to reply, he's gone down in my estimation.

So now your opinion of him matters, too? Like, who you epp?

gssdobi:
. You are a hypocrite. U are washing ur dirty underwear in public like you accused Buhari on Nigerian youths. U think the westerners are better off?. Keep biting of your nose to spite your face. This is also pure foolishness and betrayal on part of the cartoonist,if he is actually a Nigerian. He is digging his own grave. Karma. NB:I am not ing forgery.

Then just shut up!

4601CE:
Superstar cartoonist?? You mean super propaganda star cartoonist

it it: the guy is phenomenal.

This cartoon seems to imply that foreigners will now thoroughly scrutinize every document emanating from the Finance Ministry headed by Kemi Adesoun.

THE PARASITIC WOMAN

A woman who cannot make her hair without corporate begging will call a guy BROKE. A slay queen that cannot subscribe her phone without sending “Can you do me a favour..?” to random guys on Facebook will call a guy broke. I just saw a post where a lady who doesn't have a bicycle tyre called a man's car ‘tuketuke'. A lady who does nothing than to jump around indiscriminate dates eating and waking to form fake life on Instagram will be calling a guy who hustles; pays house rent, feeds himself, does everything for himself, BROKE. A lady who is jobless and lazy will come on Facebook and argue how she can't marry a man who doesn't earn 300k a month. Isn't it laughable that women who cannot foot their bills call men BROKE for not doing it for them? Ladies, I wish you'd understand how cheap it sounds when you come online to bash a guy who didn't give you money for hairdo. I wish you'd understand how hungry it sounds when you say a man who can't buy cold stone ice cream on a date is not manly. Please, stop demanding from men what you don't do for yourself. Before you call a man broke, it should be because he can't take care of himself not because he can't carry your personal burdens. In that case, you're the broke one. Build yourself. Stop going around shaming yourself, telling stories of how a guy couldn't buy common KFC chicken during a date. Madam why couldn't you buy it? If we critically examine most ladies the way they examine many men, you'll see that many ladies are BROKE, HUNGRY, and LAZY but forming slay mama. Meanwhile the guys are resourceful for themselves. Go and get a life without feeling any man has to do it for you. Get financially independent and then you can talk of not wanting to marry a broke man. It freaks me out when I hear broke and lazy girls saying they can't marry a man who doesn't earn up to 300k a month. See this one. So who wants to marry a woman who sits down wishing to get a man who'd alleviate her from her personal misery.

.

Liliyann:
God bless you brother
It's high time men realizes this and stop feeling like we owe them.
For a woman to have agreed to leave the comfort of her father house and stay with a man,its a huge step.
Women shouldn't let any man belittle them or make them feel less of them self marriage is not a do or die affairs!!!

Tell me that your prayer points today did not include "I need a husband".

Tell me that you have not done OPM "assignment" of 21 days fasting, to be able to marry this year.

Tell me that deep in your heart you are not praying for one of your boyfriends to propose soon.

Tell me, between men and women, Who look forward to getting married more?

MrHistorian:
Hypocritical Nigerians!!!!!!
Israel is one of the most homosexual friendly country in the world.
Use your head,Homosexual does not cripple economy.

If you are coming out publicly, say so.

Young man, your father is far wiser than you are, at least for now. He knows you very well and probably knows that the moment you are married, you might not have the will to that building anymore.

Again, no one can predict the type of wife you will marry. if she is the type that likes to colonize her husband and separate him from his family, then, bye bye to that building for ever because she will not allow you build it.

Further, having a family comes with responsibilities and involves money. By the time you have entered family life and respoistart piling up, you may not have enough to build the house.

Lastly, it may be that your dad has no intention of disturbing you after your marriage. So it is wiser that you build the house now so that you will truly be on your own once you get married.


On the while, I urge you to build the house. Wedding can wait for just a few months.
Do not be under any sort of pressure from the girl. That's how they all pressure. Once they come in, they start scattering their husband's family.

Build the house.

Tinubu To NASS When President Jonathan sought Approval To Loan $1bn To Fight ... Boko Haram.



"In reality, this loan will be used to buy the election and pay for the intimidation of the opposition and electorate. Most of it will go into the PDP coffers. The portion which finds its way to the armed forces and security agencies will be to purchase their services in suppressing all who are not PDP. The loan will not be to fight terrorism. It will be to fight the legitimate dissent.
Thus, the President’s request should be rejected categorically. For he seeks not to use the money to construct a safehaven for the people. He seeks the money to build a casket for democracy."- Tinubu, APC National Leader.

But now the government he brought to power will be taking $1bn illegally from our already depleted Excess Crude with meagre $2.317bn to fight a 'defeated' Boko Haram.
Basically, because Nigerians are gullible and utterly docile.


Akinloye NG

Stupidity is:

1. when you kneel down to greet your pastor and stand up to challenge your husband and call him names.

2. When your boss shouts at you for not delivering on your target and you meekly say, "yes sir", but the moment your husband makes an observation you tear him to shreds with your mouth.


Add yours.

IamKashyBaby:


Is this it? He was juz blocked...

This is what transpired between a Facebook and a scammer.

lightblazingnow:
My child was bleeding from her naval and this kind of bleeding no be child's play oooooooo, my child had just lest than 1hrs to survive and we were really desperate to do anything to help her live, we rushed our baby to this government specialist hospital precisely Braitwaite memorial specialist hospital ( BMSH) because you see, I am revealing the name to the whole world and also to the authorities in the River State government to point out to them that what they have in their specialist hospital isn't human beings but witches who are so happy to see people die if not what on earth could make a trained nurse be so ruthless, heartless and without any kind of affection for bleeding and about to die child who came to be nurse and treated under the able hands of these physicians.


My people, I saw hell, this species of human had no time to attend to us and my child was slowly ing on my God Almighty, thank God Almighty for a very special doctor, the senior pediatrician who was touched by CHRIST JESUS my LORD to attend to us.. this beautiful doctor took it upon himself to attend to my baby oh for God's sake, he was very exceptional, those same nurses, came to this doctor to complain that this baby doesn't have a folder with them why is he treating her, oh my God Almighty, what could have degenerated this kind of human being to this low finish, you need to see the look on my face when those heartless nurses said such, the doctor simply reply them that they could see that this baby is ing on slowly that if this blood isn't stop from flowing through her naval that any help given after now will be zero.


He needs to do something immediately, wow, heavy defeat for witches, by God's grace he finally stopped the wicked bleeding and referred us to Kelsy Harrison Specialist hospital where we did blood transfusion and other serious medical assignment.



Thank God Almighty, my baby is stabilized, but the question remains why this nurses are so wicked minded and without Natural affection, is it that they have seen much death that they don't care anymore if another dies.?

Life goes on

Sue them.

An Iraqi cleric recently praised the Jewish people for having emerged from the Holocaust following World War II and managed to win the “respect of the world through science,” while Muslims are seen as having become “the world’s headache.”
In a sermon posted to YouTube last month titled “Don’t Be Mad. Strong Words. Imitate the Jews in This,” and translated this week by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), Shiite cleric Salam Al-Askari said that after suffering in Europe during the Holocaust, where “Nazis killed and burned them” and they were “killed in droves,” the Jews, he said, “put their greatest minds into science” and “made the entire world kneel before them, and accept and respect the Jewish nation.”

In a departure from much of the content translated from Arabic by MEMRI, rife with statements from religious officials and others attacking Jews and Israel, and accusing them of being behind a host of disasters, the sermon shows the cleric listing what he describes as Jewish achievements, including the invention of acetone and nuclear power, and describing how the Jews “won over” Europe.

“The Jews suffered,” he said. “The Nazis killed and burned them. They were brought in groups to special places, where they were gassed and they suffocated and died. The Jews were killed in droves. They wanted to emigrate but some European countries banned the Jews from entering. ‘We will not accept them,’ they said. They were tormented in … Today, when our countries suffer, the youth emigrate to Europe. But back then, Europe shut its doors to the Jews.”

Al-Askari continued, later in the sermon: “What tipped the balance in WWII in favor of the Allies were the two bombs that were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan. You’ve all heard about this, right? This bomb that terrified the world was manufactured by Jewish minds. It was designed by the minds of Jewish physicists. Europe declared officially: ‘We need the Jewish nation,'” he said, according to the MEMRI translation.
Turning to the Muslim nation, the cleric referred to an article he said was published by a European writer questioning what would happen should Muslims “be removed from the face of the earth.”
The conclusion of the article, al-Askari said, “was that if Muslims were removed from the face of the Earth, there would be no more headaches in the world – no bombings, no bribery, no plundering, and no kidnapping.”

“We are two billion Muslims in the world. How many Jews are there worldwide? 17 million. 17 million… There are more people in central and southern Iraq. That is the number of the Jews in the whole world,” he went on.
“How many Nobel prizes in the field of science have they won, and how many have we won, in the last century?” he asked.

“We, with almost two billion Muslims, have won 10 Nobel prizes in a hundred years. They number 17 million, and how many prizes have they won in the past hundred years? 200. They have won 200 prizes, 50-60 of them in physics alone. In other words, if we were to say that the physics of the 20th century is Jewish, nobody could call it an exaggeration.”

Last week, we were greeted with screaming headlines: federal government disburses second tranche of Paris club refund. In the breakdown, Kano State had as much as 10 billion, ahead of Lagos, which had just a little over 8 billion Naira. What Lagos State contributes to the centre, completely dwarfs what Kano contributes. Yet, a certain “magical” almighty formula ensures Kano gets more than Lagos, in this instance. In fact, Katsina State, got almost same amount as Lagos. Let’s move on! If Lagos were a country, it’ll arguably be among the top 10 richest nations in Africa. Lagos and a handful of other states generate most of the Value Added Tax (VAT), realized nationally. VAT is a consumption tax; meaning it is payable for goods and services “consumed”. Curiously, this sum is sucked to the centre, by a ruthless centripetal pull, and shared to the 36 states. This is most absurd. A state generates taxes, and it’s shared to the rest of the states, leaving it with less than enough to cater for the needs of the tax payers. Thus, the state does not have enough to build the needed infrastructure for commerce to thrive, and for the tax payers to enjoy basic social services. This anomalous structure ensures Lagos State does not have enough to build efficient transport systems to link the mega city; leaving the city perpetually trapped in huge gridlock. Imagine what Lagos would be, if the state is free from this stranglehold of the federal government. Clearly, the State would experience a quantum leap, if this absurdity is corrected. Every month, Finance Commissioners or their designates from the 36 states, gather in Abuja to share what is popularly called FAAC allocation. The country is run with such “sharing-philos ophy” that completely discourages growth and healthy competition. A state can just sit and do nothing, and “earn” from the efforts of the other states. In a study by Economic Confidential, only 2 states generated more than they got from the federation . A State such as Borno State generated only N2.6 Billion internally in 2016, as against N73.8 Billion that they got from FAAC. Looking at this, Borno could just sit and do nothing, yet have enough to run the state and balance their budget. Kano can decide to sit and do nothing, and still earn as much as 112 Billion, extrapolating from their FAAC for 2016. What then is the incentive to be competitive, if you can be idle and earn that much? Restructuring from this unproductive system will stimulate growth and healthy competition amongst the states. Last month, I spent about 4 hours, attempting to cross a 2km stretch, around the Akpajo Junction of the East West road. The road had become a terrible nightmare, due to bad spot that has since deteriorated to a death trap. The road links Rivers State to Akwa Ibom and Cross River. It also links Port Harcourt to Eleme LGA, Tai LGA, Gokana LGA, Khana LGA, Opobo/Nkoro LGA and Andoni LGA, all in Rivers State. From an industrialist’s point of view, the road also leads to two Refinery Plants, One Petrochemical Complex, two Fertilizer Plants, One Sea Port, One Oil and Gas Free Zone, and several other companies. Just in case you didn’t know, it is a federal road. The road leads to another proposed road, the Bodo-Bonny Road, proposed by the Obasanjo government, yet brutally abandoned. That road is expected to connect the main land to Bonny, hosts of one of Nigeria’s most profitable assets, NLNG. At the beginning of this istration, the billions gotten from NLNG were used as bailout to the states, yet the federal government cannot complete this road for over a decade now. The companies linked to that road pay several billions in taxes monthly, which ends up in Abuja, far away from Rivers State where they reside. The Minister of Works is wrapped up in his cozy office in Abuja, and you won’t blame him for not knowing that the road demands serious emergency attention. The FERMA boss is chilling in his office in Abuja, far away from the states that generate the revenue that funds his agency. The Federal Government is too preoccupied with several issues to be bothered by a bad spot on the road. Restructuring should see federal government relieving themselves of such burden, by handing over such roads to the state government. The Federal Government should free up the states from their stranglehold. The states should be allowed to collect VAT, so they can build infrastructure to the commerce, enterprise and comfort of the tax payers within their domain. Same should be done to the Airports and Sea Ports. Concession them to private partners, or hand over the physical infrastructure to the states. Federal Agents – Immigration, Customs, DSS – can continue to run the airports, but the physical assets be handed over to states who show capacity and a sustainable plan to manage same in line with global best practices. Now, to the oil industry; let’s start from ownership. Against the letters and spirit of the United Nations Rights of Indigenous people, Nigeria has a strange law that strips the indigenous people of ownership of their resources. Since this article is more of development and efficiency, and less of emotion, I will not dwell too much on this, as I have whole articles dedicated to this. From a development point of view, this fundamental anomaly is at the root of the stagnation and corruption in the sector. Political friends and surrogates end up with juicy oil blocs, for no special skill they possess or a superior corporate profile. The result is what we see: corruption. Today, Nigeria exports crude oil, and imports majority of refined products. The 4 refineries owned by the federal government are almost moribund. The powerful central government has burdened the sector with their weight, and has failed to attract the needed investment. What they have failed to do, have haunted them from the underworld. Today, craftsmen from the underworld have built scores of artisanal refineries across the region. What should ordinarily trigger an industrial revolution was mismanaged and criminalized. A restructured Nigeria should see the federal government untie the sector they have asphyxiated for over half a century. Refineries are not such a complex technology; a technology that was existent even during the Biafran war, should not be what the nation cannot afford at a large scale. The unitary government has failed, and will continue to fail to catalyze growth in the sector. The early refineries in United States were in peoples’ “backyards”; they were modular. Growth in the sector has not been exponential, because there is an almighty federal government that stifles things. Control is crowded at the centre; a centre that can no longer hold. A restructured Nigeria should lead to an unbundled and deregulated sector, to stimulated growth, like we have in developed economies. In 2014, there were about 139 operating refineries, in the USA; compare that to Nigeria’s comatose four. The state of Louisiana, with a population of about 4.6 million (less than Rivers State), has about 16 refineries. It’s therefore no surprise that they have a single digit unemployment rate of about 7%. The state of Wyoming, with a population of a little over half a million, has 6 refineries. Would this be the case if there was a complex centre that controlled the entire sector in the USA? No! The truth is, the Petroleum sector will not witness the needed growth and investment reflective of her potentials, until we loosen up the sector. A truly federal structure that allows the indigenous people and the states to own their resources, and prospect and partner as desired, will see a quantum growth of the sector. Apart from guaranteeing growth, it will also solve the problem of insecurity in these oil producing communities In Environment, there was an almighty FEPA, before the NESREA Act effectively replaced that. NESREA, an agency under the Federal Ministry of Environment has their set of regulations that sometimes overlap with others. For example, they have their guide lines for telecommunication Mast; NCC has as well. Some State Ministries of Environment have their regulations as well. The investor is left at the mercy of three conflicting regulatory bodies. Why can’t we just allow states regulate this? We also have a Federal Ministry of Environment that takes on some bogus sets of responsibilitie s. They play host to several agencies such as NOSDRA, NESREA, etc. They ensure compliance to Acts and Environmental Legislations such as the EIA Act; a task they fail terribly at. That’s because they are too far away from the areas of study. The State Ministries of Environment should be allowed to take full charge of compliance monitoring, as they are closer to the people and the environment, and they understand the dynamics and interplay, better. In the Petroleum sector, DPR oversees all aspects of the environmental activities and processes. The document that regulates the environment in the oil and gas sector, the EGASPIN, was authored by DPR. The DPR office is far away from where you have the oil spills, and so they don’t fully understand the condition of the people. NOSDRA, the body saddled with the responsibility for detection and first level response, in case of oil spill, maintains a corporate head office in cozy Abuja. They are far from the spill incidences, and the manager in their Port Harcourt office will have to wait for approval from Abuja Office to deploy to the spill site, 10km away. Even when such approvals are given, the manager is without the logistics to deploy to site; he depends on the polluter to provide for him. The State Ministry of Environment are not allowed to come anywhere near the petroleum sector. They are not even allowed near oil facilities to take basic air quality readings; the federal agency allowed to do so are chilling in Abuja. The State Ministries of Environment are reduced to collecting stipends for effluent discharge, and organizing monthly sanitations. This is a key reason why the Niger Delta is the one of the most polluted regions of the world. A restructured nation, with federalism in the true sense of the word, will see some of these critical functions, devolved to the state. We have a system that centralizes even power. We have a central grid that, as time has proved, can no longer hold. The Power Holding Company could not hold any further, so they privatized the sector. Yet, this central grid defeats the very essence of the privatization. Power is generated from say Afam Power Plant in Rivers State, and it gets pulled to the central grid, and shared just like FAAC allocation. We share power just as we share money. The community that hosts the power plant, and endures all the unmitigated risks of hosting such a plant, does not enjoy decent 10 hour electricity per day; yet the noise of the turbine can be heard 24 hours. Before the power assets in Rivers State were sold by the last istration, we were told the state has installed generating capacity that is enough to power the state, yet the state cannot directly power itself; they are forced to pump this to the national grid, and have it “shared”. A restructured nation should break up such behemoths like this central grid. States should be allowed to partner or build their power plants, and sign transmission and distribution agreements with their preferred partners. It’s time to swap this elephant for a smart stallion. The intervention agencies are not left out. We have a regional intervention agency like the NDDC, whose budget is approved by a national assembly that has senators who does not know the issues. The “Ayes” of the 27 Niger Delta Senators will be dwarfed by the thunderous “nays” of the other 82 non-Niger Delta Senators. You can’t understand the budget items for a region you know nothing about. A restructured country will see the scrapping of such bogus and ambiguous agencies, freeing up more resources, for the states to directly develop itself. Finally, Security. Security is key to every sector. We have a system that everything with respect to security is also centralized. The Governor of a State is called the Chief Security Officer, yet he does not command any security unit; not even Civil Defense. The Commissioner of Police takes instruction from the Inspector General of Police, not the Governor, yet the Governor is expected to provide logistical . The last istration in Rivers State invested a lot, sending Police Officers to Israel for training. Sadly, and expected, those officers have been posted out of Rivers State; so that investment was a waste. The current istration donated an surveillance helicopter (bought by the last istration) to the Federal Government. You can be sure this will not be used in the state; another loss to the people of the State. Why then do we call the Governor the Chief Security Officer, when his role is reduced to providing logistics to a strange Police Force that does not report to him? And we truly expect things to work with such unworkable relationship? Let me end by saying this: One of the fallacies out there is that there are certain states without potentials; that is not correct. Every single state in Nigeria, has some kind of mineral resources; but that is not where our strength lies. Most of the poorest states are in the north; that should not be. From our basic economics, we know the factors of production to be land, labour, capital andEnterprise. The north has vast land mass (LAND), and their large population gives them access to LABOUR. If their states can issue COE’s efficiently, then more business can be more bankable; that would guarantee access to cash (CAPITAL). So, all we need to do is to restructure in a way that promotes efficiency and stimulates ENTERPRISE. Nigeria spends more than a trillion Naira importing food. Imagine if 5 states in Nigeria, with comparative sectoral advantage, make it a target to meet up this demand in the next 5 years? It’s possible, but not with the current structure. If we stop giving free money, states will unleash their true potentials. If we stop this “sharing mentality”, there will be a healthy competition amongst the states. This current structure CANNOT WORK, and we mustn’t continue postponing dooms day. Like I always ask, if Nigeria was a company, and you were the CEO, with equal stakes in all the states, would you rather we continued with such a system that stifles growth? I’m “No” would be your answer. Think efficiency; think productivity; think prosperity; think federalism. It’s not about Politics!

Lies. Turkey is battling Kurdish secessionists and has been containing and repelling terror attacks inside its own territory from PKK, the party representing the want-away Kurds, for more than 30 years now. I do not see Turkey interfering in this Biafra issue, especially since she is in very good with Nigeria. Why would Turkey break relations with Nigeria which partners with it in so many areas and which hosts so many Turkish investments, in favour of Biafra? Of wat strategic importance is Biafra to Turkey right now to go warrant angering Nigeria in this manner?


Lies, I say. This is concocted propaganda designed to make it look like Biafra has international .

They will not stop preaching at the beach just to please you. They are Christians, and what you saw them do at the beach is what Christians do. God approves of it, even if you do not. Whether it is for pre-wedding pics or not, a Christian ought to preach, always. Now, between you and Jehovah, whose approval matters?
