Haaa, this life, a whole jagaban, reduced to a nobody by the cabal. Hmmm ayemanika O, All the energy used in shouting during campaign and all the travels at least he should be given a functional title in this government. He deserves it not this ordinary observer status in the party.

If Jagaban is a nobody then I truly pity what people might refer you as. Truth hurts but you sef reason am now, someone making over 1 billion Naira per year is a nobody then no hope for you making less than 1% of that per year

There are three things wrong with the analysis.

1. Oil prices started to decline before Buhari came into office, in fact from January 2014 to May 2015, we witnessed 100% reduction in the price of oil per barrel.

2. Instead of the government in charge to start cost saving measures and increase efficiency across all sectors, what we witnessed was more extravagant spending and waste of resources.

3. The Naira was devalued once already and we saw the resulting consequences, rather than devaluation we should be discussing diversification. Over reliance on oil and complete abandonment of other resources is what got us in this mess.

Finally things are going to get very bad before we start seeing positive results, if Buhari had the chance to govern for a longer period of time in the 80s, Nigeria would have been saved from the corrupt and greed which emerged after the coup.

They are surprised because they feel it is the right response. You see some girls dating their guy for over 4 years, for the past year they have been discussing marriage and the expenses that comes with it, they have been discussing children and finances. They even discussed the type of ring,only for the guy to give her the discussed ring a couple of months later and she acts all shocked, it's all part of the fake life many girls are taught to believe! It's all part of he fad where proposals and weddings are so grand that less emphasis is put on the marriage itself, this is why we have a rising case of unhappiness and divorce after elaborate weddings, most girls don't even care about compatibility anymore, as long as they are given a big shiny rock and an elaborate wedding......sad but true!

I have no issues with the latest trend in which ladies posts pictures revealing their cleavages ,bum....... where the problem lies is when they decide that such post must go with titles such as "Glory to God" God's child" "shining for Christ" "beauty of God " "Jesus in me" and other contradictory titles..
knowing fully well that God is not and cannot be happy with your action because He has instructed to make your body a Holy temple ( rather you chose to expose and disrespect your body and i wonder if you derive joy that men lust after it with such display of nudity).......please ladies, you can dress modestly, cover up your bodies and still look beautiful. YOU ARE CAPABLE OF MUCH MORE THAN LOOKING HOT
Dont bring in phrases like 'God sees my heart' , well, yes He does but men can't, they only see the cleavages and big bum you reveal......do not be deceived, God is not mocked!!!!! The conclusion of the matter is; dress modestly, cover up your beautiful bodies but should incase you refuse to do so, leave God or Jesus alone when titling your cleavage and bum revealing pictures.[right][/right]

And who da f*ck made you spokesperson for the Almighty? God is for nobody and anybody, he does not discriminate so pack well!

According to Dr Sadiqque Abubakar, a lecturer in the department of Political Science at the Ahmadu Bello University Zaria, the indifference of majority of the residents of Zaria City to the fate of Shiites could be explained in three ways; the lawlessness and over-zealousness of the Shiites for a long time without check, the prejudice against Shiite by the majority Sunni community in Zaria who don’t see the Shiites as true Muslims and the pains caused by the Shiites to Zaria residents any time they block the roads for their very many processions and ceremonies. They are accused of annexing places with ease.

His view especially on the blockage of road with seeming impunity was shared by many other members of the Zaria community who spoke with Saturday Vanguard. Mr Ikechukwu Chinwendu who owns a furniture shop that shares a boundary with the now demolished headquarters of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria and has stayed in Zaria for more than fifteen years. He corroborated the views of Dr Abubakar. He said that though members of the sect are not overtly violent, “when they block the road for their ceremonies, they are usually armed with dangerous weapons like knives ,

This sums it all up, even in Lagos if an army personnel or group were passing through and you blocked the road it is a sign of disrespect. Imagine an SS3 student and a young girl involved in such nonsense, this clearly speaks to the way youths are manipulated in this country. If they had better parents or elders in the community they would have been warned against such demonstrations. Religion is not worth getting injured or dying for,it's just not worth it!

I find it very nauseating that the comment of one clueless black mofo in America automatically reflects in most of y'all minds as the entire American population. We have dumb Nigerians who also made ridiculous comments on social media but does that reflect the views of all or most Nigerians? Wale lives a thug life and thus would attract mostly thugs commenting on his social media pages, it is clear that the person who made the comment is one of those low life thugs, when they see something they can't relate to then they automatically label it as gay or another kind of obscene word. I work with both white Americans and African Americans and I can truthfully say the Whites are racists but mostly racists behind your back but the African Americans are so clueless that they exhibit racists symptoms against their own kinds, in fact they believe African Americans are in no way related to Africans and before everyone decides to blame them remember they are the true victims here due to slavery and 95%of them having to adopt a white man's name hereby forgetting about their true roots. So instead of bashing them, let's be sympathetic for they know not what they are doing!

@abbey621, am a democrat who supports Donald Trump on all level. He speaks my mind even though am not sure if I'll be voting for him (haven't made up my mind.) In a nutshell, his supporters are not only republicans.
What am saying is Nigerian government should learn to dialogue instead of trying to suppress voices. It's not gonna work! Many people tried to ignore Martin Luther, Mandela and other notable voices. If Donald was a Nigerian, don't you think that he would have been in the same boat as Kalu? Wole Soyinka & Obasanjo share same view that this should be treated carefully. Dialogue!!!

The mere fact that you compare Kalu to MLK jr or Mandela(Non-violent activists) makes me nauseous, if you had listened to Radio Biafra you would have realized there was nothing peaceful about the movement! The Nigerian government has done nothing but dialogue in the past. Do you recall MEND, OPC, Bakassi boys and so on, even up till now some ex militants are still collecting salaries from the government. Tell me when would it end? If every group out there feeling insecure or aggrieved decided to hold the government ransom, what then would be left of Nigeria? Kanu has incited hatred and division in the hearts of many and thus is guilty of treason, the government's prosecutors are just doing their job! Now let's get back to the issue of Trump, I can assure you there would be no more than 5% of democrats that would vote for him but I can assure you if he becomes the Republican candidate at the general elections some die hard Republicans would rather not vote than to vote for Trump.

Every single day it's the same thing and by now even a newborn baby is aware of the disastrous consequences of the GEJ led government. It's time to move forward, let's give this government a chance to make things better and not condemn easily. By 2019 if things are not getting better then we can vote them out. No sentiments, no partiality; it doesn't matter if it's APC, PDP or ABC Nigerians now know that they have the power to topple any government!

adatemi:
This guy is on his way to be in the league of Martin Luther King, Mandela etc. He's a fighter, believes in what he's fighting for. Buhari is not handling this situation very well, I hope it doesn't spread like fire. What he needs to do is DIALOGUE, people like this cannot be suppressed. His movement is gaining ground just like Donald Trump, no one took him serious at the initial but right he's at the fore front. Didn't take this Biafra movement serious initially but with all what is going with him, I begin to wonder if what he's fighting for is actually true.

The only people taking the Biafran movement seriously are those just as confused as Kanu! Funny how you referenced Donald Trump gaining ground but failed to realize that he's only gaining ground among Republicans and even that is debatable! Kanu and Trump do have one thing in common, they both suffer from delusion.....

lol bro, appointing ministers is different from a government taking off immediately, i didnt make reference to Buhari appointing ministers after 6 months. Obama took off immediately knowing full well he has a lot to do, he didnt sit back and start blaming the previous administration (of course we all know USA went into recession under the government before him, but then he realised Americans voted him in because they believe he had the capacity to turn things around, he didnt go on a blame game cuz government is a continuity, he also didnt go on a honey-moon like Tinubu told us that PMB was on a 6 month honey-moon. Bros, there are no facts, all you hear are mere newspaper gossips and what lawyers call "hearsay". Take the people to court, if you have all the facts as you claim, ensure a speedy prosecution and let the court return a conviction. Till date, nobody has been convicted, 8months gone under the new administration and the only thing we are hearing is bail, bail bail. Bail and arraignment are the first things in a prosecution...this shows you that the trial itself has not even kicked off. Bro, GEJ is not my hero, i'm old enough to be my own person. If i need a hero or role model, it will be persons who have attained the highest heights in my profession. And i never said GEJ was or is a saint and will never do that; everybody have their own limitations. I am merely pointing out your inconsistencies telling you that PMB wasnt elected to blame GEJ, he was elected to fix things he told the electorates were wrong with the system. You know, in an argument, the moment the other person leaves the issue at stake and starts personal attack (in logic its called "the fallacy of ad hominem", i will walk out. So before you proceed from giving me a hero to something more mundane and horrendous, its good i say sweet dreams. Nice chatting with you on political issues.

Once again you are saying what you don't know, at this point I feel like you are just trolling instead of arguing with facts. Obama's entire campaign for his first term election was based on his predecessor's failures. Once he got to office it took him well over 3 months to bring out the bail out plan for banks and big corporations, this has led to a 300% increase in the national debt, clearly you know nothing about the USA so please try another country as an example. Furthermore, I never attacked you, I merely followed the same principle you used which was pointing out your erroneous statements, if you truly believed that Nigeria could be fixed in 8 months when the previous administration had close to 5 years then we can never see eye to eye! Come back in 2019 and judge the president not now....thank you and goodnight!

dondaddycares:
lol oya keep up the blame game...when you wake up in the morning, look yourself in the mirror and ask yourself, "have you blamed GEJ today?" Bros, Governance doesnt work that way, an elected government settles in immediately after taking oath of office, nobody waits a month or two before working, if you know of any country that does that please let me know. PMB had more than 13 years to prepare for governance, that was what the electorates was made to believe during the campaign, how come you are making excuses now for him? Bros please wake up, today you blame GEJ, tomorrow you blame God, the next day you will blame the devil. Please when are you gonna look inward and ask yourself if you are not the problem...thats the meaning of introspection. We cant continue living this way. You are paid as a president while still you want the nation to feed you, Your predecessor budgeted 530 million for feeding in 2015, you budgeted 1.7 billion...is that not corruption to the highest order. I guess you will blame GEJ too for PMB budgetting 1.7 billion for his feeding. Bros, the moment we accept that these politicians are all the same and doesnt have the interest of the masses at heart, it is that day that TRUE CHANGE would dawn on Nigeria. In the mean time keep living in denial...suffering and smiling

Look at the bold part of your write-up, I believe the USA which is one of the greatest country on earth is an example. Obama after the 2008 election took almost 3 months to fully settle in, why was this? Because it came at a time where the country was witnessing an economic downslide. So please don't say what you don't know! You said don't blame GEJ, even after witnessing all the atrocities committed by those he appointed and you still maintain that he is not at fault, come on guy that's bull! Buhari is not a saint, Buhari is slow and Buhari can easily be taken advantage of but there's one thing we know about Buhari, he is not one to sit back and do nothing! You keep mentioning feeding as if that's the only thing wrong with the budget, there were numerous areas of the budget that needed to be adjusted and thanks to the enlightened voice of the Nigerian people, the budget has been amended. I know you would like to blame Buhari for the state of the economy and I guess that would be the easier choice than to blame your hero GEJ but facts are facts, he inherited an economy on life support! Let Buhari continue working and judge him in 2019, if he fails we can vote him out, if the economy gets better then he's vindicated!

dondaddycares:
Bros i mentioned 8months, you are reminding me its 7months...May 29 to Dec 31 is 7months...what is the difference? Ok i agree, i made a mistake, its 7months he presided over in 2015 while GEJ had 5months. Please my brother, who had the lion share of 2015 between 7 and 5 months? Now we are being truthful. It is corruption to be blinded by sentiments

Bro are you kidding me there's really no difference between 5 or 7 months what matters is the amount of damages done in those months? Do you know the amount of damages done by the GEJ led government in the first 5 months of 2015? At least we all saw how certain contracts and appointments were made during those months. Seven months is not enough to start posting positive trends in terms of economic development or corruption index. It is barely enough to stop the decline! I know it's hard to believe but if you look at advanced countries after a change in government, it takes one to two months to fully settle in, it took Buhari longer because of the mess created by the previous administration. If we are being truthful, we can all agree that the GEJ led government is responsible for the economic mess we are in right now and it is going to take more than 7 or 8 months to fix things!

dondaddycares:
in 2014 Nigeria scored 27, in 2015 Nigeria scored 26...is this progression or retrogression? And the guys above are hailing that as an improvement. Its either those guys cant read and comprehend or they are mischievously blinded by the truth. Before anyone quotes and tell me GEJ was in charge in 2015, he presided over for 4 months while PMB presided over for 8 months. Now tell yourself the truth. God bless

I'm sure you realize that Buhari was sworn in on May 29th, 2015 and thus only had 6 months in 2015 to work, please let's be truthful when criticizing people!

sonnie10:
It is the prosecutors not lawyers, except the police now uses only lawyers for that purpose.

A prosecutor is a lawyer/attorney/representative presenting a case against the defendant.

sonnie10:
"The accused of No 5, Owodunni Street, Oworonshoki, is facing a four- count charge of assault, intimidation and failure to supply necessaries.

Lucky said the offences contravened Sections 170, 171, 56 and 245 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2011."



Abeg which kind offense is failure to supply necessaries?

I thought I was the only one that saw it, quack lawyers!

cutemorgan:
If one machine produce 1 doughnut in 1 minute, I guess 10 machines working at the same interval for 10minutes will produce 100 doughnuts, cos each will be producing 10 doughnuts in 10 minutes.

You're right, just went over the calculation again the answer is truly 10 minutes.

cutemorgan:
I think it's 10 mins bro.

10machines produce 10doughnuts in 10minutes. That means 1 doughnut is produced in 1 minute.
Therefore each machine contribution per minute is 1/10.
For 100 machines: 1 minute production = 100 * 1/10 =10 doughnuts.
Since 10 doughnuts take 1 minute, therefore, 100 doughnuts will take 10mins.

The answer is 1 minute.

10 machine= 10 doughnuts = 10 minutes
1 machine = 1 doughnut = 1 minute so if we have 100 machines with each machine producing a doughnut in 1 minute, we would have 100 doughnuts in 1 minute assuming they all produce at the same interval.

Another resident of Chibok, Mallum Chibok told DAILY POST Correspondent, that despite the presence of security men in Chibok, Boko Haram has succeeded in attacking the area which is an indication that the insurgents are everywhere.

I can't help but laugh, a resident of Chibok named Mallum Chibok! Where do these people get their stories from?.....Let's just call it comedic journalism

The president should equally do the same for the Nigerian soldiers lost in battle. Let's start treating our heroes better in order for them to regain confidence and keep us all safe!

@OP Your lecturers are just like the moderators here on Nairaland, rules are made up instantly and whether fair or not you are expected to abide by them. Accept your fate my friend, it's a cold world

Jobless youths.....The protest should have been in front of Aso Rock, I think that would have more effect than this charade but beware soldiers are shooting on sight

Olamide grew up in the better part of Bariga not near the lagoon. OP I hope you know Bariga is bigger than the slumps. Those shouting Ladi-Lak are also incorrect, Olamide is Bariga proper, Folagoro side to be precise!

Why is it that the people most affected by this are not speaking up. The OP mentioned that this is trending on twitter but all I see are some comments from non Muslims and non Northerners. Surely if 705 members of a community were wiped out there would be outrage by the surviving members of the community. Could it be that the numbers were made up? Could it be that the photos are completely unrelated to the incidence? Could it be that this is the work of people still aggrieved by the 2015 elections? I don't know but one thing is for certain I encourage anyone and/or any group to go to the courts or ICC or U.N to make a formal complaint instead of using the media as a tool of propaganda!

I still see nothing wrong with the assignment given and definitely nothing that could warrant such an outrage! The Japanese and Chinese are the smartest Mathematicians in the world because they focus heavily on cognitive and reflective skills. All I see in this assignment is a type of memory game which helps to improve cognitive functions, perhaps the parent or the aunty should be more invested in the curriculum of the school instead of ranting like a chicken on crack, if parents visit with teachers and principals at least once or twice a month they would be more informed about their children's progress and able to influence the learning path.

Rule number 1: There's no such thing as luck when it comes to sport betting, it's all about skills!
Rule number 2: Never bet more than 5% of your bankroll on any given bet
Rule number 3: If your first two bets results in a loss, take a minimum of 1 week away from the game and do your research. Most bettors lost more money after a bad beat!
Rule number 4: Never bet on borrowed money! I repeat never!
Rule number 5: Stay away from parlays and teasers until you actually know what you are doing!
Rule number 6: Stick to sports you are very familiar with, you have no business betting tennis when all you know is football!
Rule number 7: Know when to quit. Sport betting is not for everyone, most people are investors while few are winners!

Good write up but I think it's missing the most important advice of all........Never skip your yearly physicals and make your doctor your best friend! We men especially Nigerians rarely go to see the doctor unless something is wrong.....bad habit

Am sorry, its only the zeros that are counted

Thanks

Shame on you!

sampsondeen:
You are just here dropping punchlines with big 'grammar'...

All I read was shiit...

Good at least you can read even if na only sh*t! School fees didn't go to waste

dancok:
remember u are not his creator. He can still have his way.

can,may,might is different from will, would and shall! The op needs solid advice not sentimental crap!

200k for crappy education, if a parent can afford such then they can afford to send their children to private universities such as the ones in Ogun State. Cos I don't really see the difference in paying 200k for mediocre education when you can pay less than 500k for better education with a more reputable school. The truth is no state school can compete with private universities in terms of opportunities and recognition, if state schools decide to start charging 200k or more for tuition then it is a blatant scam on the populace!

dancok:
haha! Bro that one too much, it never late for anyone. Something good can come out at 35.

It's never too late at 35 but at 35 with no experience and hoping to compete with a job market that is brutal is just plain suicidal!
