Dr. Sid (Nigerian musician), studied dentistry in U.I... And I think the guy is also practising alongside his musical career although he might not be the one fully in-charge due to his tight schedule.

Ate u sure that guy is practicing his profession at all? Don't know y he dump his profession for music. He would have been better practising his dental surgery, cos that course no be moi moi.

of the top 10, P square has about 3 to 4 slots. They really tried. They are the most watched musicians on youtube in Africa. Where is wizkid, Tiwa Savage, Olamide, MI and Ice Prince?

If all Yoruba votes for buhari are removed, He would have still won by 1.5 million votes so what d hell are u saying...

And if the Yorubas votes were added to GEJ, what do u think would have happen? Do u know that it is the south west media and repackaged PMB and sold him to the populace as a change person?

Barcanista, pls keep on slaying and destroying them and their intents. This lies posted by the OP has been going round the Facebook pages and circulated among the northern flocks. I just caution one not long ago abt this same issue that even if GEJ was tribalistic, since PMB was voted base on the clamour for change, then there should be change in his governance from his predecessors. This is kind of lies they circulated if the issue of resource control or esp 13% derivative on oil to oil producing states comes up, they claim that it was the ground nut money gotten from the north that was use to extract oil and build refineries. So they have enough right over the issue of oil. And this lies has been swallow hook, link and sinker by the ignorant flocks or those who choose to close eyes to the reliality. They have forgotten that then, we have regional government and each region produce on his own and pay tax to the central government and its the tax being paid to the central government that was build to extract oil and build refineries.
I pray for PMB to succeed and he should be tribalist as what opposition has called him to be.

Men are hypocrites, BIG TIME HYPOCRITES. It is still the same type of men like the OP that will demand for sex in every relationship cos in their archaic mind in which they think it is civilisation, there must be sex in every relationship. When we said people should remain chaste, they said we are archaic. Virgins are criticise and humiliated openly bt deep inside every sensible man heart, he want a virgin.
If u want a chaste woman, advocate for chastity and stop belittling virgins and also stop having the notion that there must be sex in every relationship. I have a relationship of more than 5 years with out kiss talkless of sex. It may not be easy bt it is doable.
Girls too should try to have some brain cos they are always at the receiving end.

ronald4lif:
Premarital sex is a premise to marriage. Meaning it's done before marriage. It's not premarital sex if two lovebirds never got married. So the OP argument is flawed on this basis.

Again, sex is a beautiful symbol of the connection between two people, not a beautiful symbol of having a marriage certificate.

What about couples who don't want to get married? Should they not have sex just because they won't go to a registry and sign a marriage paperwork? Does that legal piece of paper diminish the love and commitment they feel for each other?

Pre-marital sex is not immoral (when indulge with someone a person love, trust and committed to), and I have yet to hear a viable argument that it is. Consensual sexual relations between adults capable of making such decisions are not immoral acts. You believe it to be, but that doesn't mean it is.

Part of what makes two people right for each other is their sexual chemistry. If you don't know whether or not you have that chemistry before you get married, you may be adding to the possibility of your marriage ending in divorce.

Lastly, most of what the OP highlighted can still be experienced when married and sexual incompatibilities have been responsible for many broken marriages worldwide. So not test driving and getting married without ascertaining sexual chemistry doesn't guarantee the marriage would last either. There's a thing called divorce.

Will u sincerely give this advice to ur sons and daughters or to ir blood sister or tell ur sister's bf that he should be servicing ur sister? Any postulation we made, we should to weigh it into our live or our families and see if we will agree to it.
By the way, where do u worship and will u be proud to stand in front of your members and tell them this.

Velocitron:
It's quite ignorant to say that people in romantic relationships 'get physical' for the sole purpose of 'testing' their partner.

Regardless, sexual compatibility is quite important in a relationship and incompatibility may lead to breakdown of the relationship.

I see nothing wrong in two people in a relationship having sex if they mutually agree. If you're not a participant in the relationship, then it's really none of your business.

Will u sincerely give this advice to ur sons and daughters or to ir blood sister or tell ur sister's bf that he should be servicing ur sister? Any postulation we made, we should to weigh it into our live or our families and see if we will agree to it.

I have read people refer to President Buhari as “clueless”—and suchlike adjective of disesteem suggesting cognitive incapacity—for his recent reference to German Chancellor Angela Merkel as “President Michelle of West Germany.” That is ignorant. And I will explain why shortly.
There are many things to criticize about President Buhari, but cluelessness isn’t one of them. His thought-processes are clearly complex, sophisticated, and high-level. If in doubt, get hold of any of his off-the cuff remarks, go beyond the distractions of his accent, and you will see a man whose intellect is deep and whose understanding of governance and world politics is admirably advanced. I have interviewed him twice—first when I was a journalist in Nigeria and later from here in the US for the Nigerian Village Square website in 2010.
You’re probably wondering where I am going with this. How could someone call Germany “West Germany,” mangle its president’s name and official title, and I not only say he isn’t clueless but insist he is, in fact, intellectually deep

OK, let me start by saying I am not some viscerally one-dimentional, unreflective Buhari apologist who is wedded to what I call the misguided philosophy of Buharist inerrancy, that is, the wrongheaded idea that Buhari can’t ever be wrong. Buhari is only human who is liable to errors and lapses of judgment. Many of us who criticized him, and will criticize him in future, do so not because we are better but because, as the saying goes, the onlookers, not the participants, see most of the game.
Now, when Buhari called German Chancellor Merkel “President Michelle of West Germany,” he was merely suffering from what Americans call a “senior moment,” which is the momentary lapse in memory occasioned by old age. As psychologists know only too well, as we age, the speed with which we retrieve information from our cognitive reservoir slows. Age-related memory lapses, experts tell us, can start as early as late 30s and get worse as we get older.
Nobel Prize-winning neurobiologist Eric Kandel and his colleagues published a well-received study in 2013 in the Journal of Science Translational Medicine where they, among other things, reveal that a “memory gene” in us appears to get weaker as our brain ages, causing us to forget easily, mix things up, and unable to easily recall information stored in our memory banks.
Buhari is not the only president who contends with age-related memory impairment. The late President Ronald Reagan, America’s oldest president who was elected at nearly 70 years in his first term, was famous for his bewildering senior moments. I will give only a few examples. Sometime in 1984, when he was 73 years old, during a meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone, according to TIME magazine , President Reagan constantly referred to his own Vice President, George Bush, Sr. (father of George W. Bush), as "Prime Minister Bush." (Remember Buhari’s reference to Vice President Osinbajo as “Osunbade” during a campaign rally in Owerri?)
And, according to Tom Friedman’s 2006 book titled You Are Not Alone: 1,000 Unforgettable Senior Moments: Of Which We Could Remember Only 246, “President Ronald Reagan’s senior moments were legendary. He often forgot what foreign country he was in or the name of the dignitary he was meeting. When he visited Brazil, he referred to it as Bolivia. He greeted Princess Diana as ‘Princess David’; at a conference of mayors once introduced himself to Samuel Pierce, the only African-American member of his cabinet, who he thought was the mayor of some American city; and called President Samuel Doe of Liberia ‘Chairman Doe.’” (p. 85).
Have you seen any similarities yet? Well, another US president, Richard Nixon, had a senior moment when he went to France in 1974 to attend the funeral of French president Georges Pompidou. Nixon had a lapse of memory and totally forgot why he was in France, so he said, “This is a great day for France!”
There will be many more age-related memory lapses from President Buhari. Get used to it. It’s no big deal. It’s part of the normal process of aging, and has no impact whatsoever on cognitive ability or performance. In spite of his notoriety for embarrassing “senior moments,” President Reagan has often been ranked as one of America’s greatest presidents. In fact, a February 2011 Gallup poll placed him as America’s greatest president of all time—ahead of Abraham Lincoln.
Like Buhari, Reagan lost in a past presidential election, but went ahead to defeat a younger incumbent in 1980. He won reelection at nearly 74 years with the biggest Electoral College victory in American history. When he left office in 1989, Reagan had an approval rating of 68 percent, which is the highest rating for a departing president in America’s modern history. Only Franklin D. Roosevelt and Bill Clinton rival this feat.
I am not implying that Buhari will be a Nigerian Ronald Reagan, but his age-induced cognitive impairments and slips should not cause us to dismiss him. When he recently said to Nigerians in South Africa “I wish I became Head of State when I was a governor, just a few years as a young man. Now at 72, there is a limit to what I can do,” he was referring to the inevitable impediments that age imposes on people. But senior moments don’t impair performance if the will to succeed is there, as the example of Ronald Reagan clearly shows.
Although I think it’s ignorant to hold up Buhari’s senior moments as evidence of cluelessness, it’s fair game to poke fun at them. That’s the nature of democracy. Even Reagan laughed at the humor his senior moments actuated. I hope Buhari—and his legion of zealous, humorless supporters—will learn to laugh at his senior moment jokes.

Dirty and uncontrollable men like u are disgrace to good men. Ur statement is nauseating.

cy4cent:
Lol, thank you for coming to your brother's defense, are you more Islamic than the custodian of two holy mosques, that still went ahead to shake a female? that was my question. I know many of you would not like to be told the truth, cos you guys were part of those ranting online that PMB shook a woman's hand.

custodian of the two holy mosques, is not more Islamic than other Muslims, pls tell me what I don't know ooooo, Lol. see painment!!

Religion being in the heart is left for God to judge not men.

As the comprehension problem, I think you are even worst than your brother, bunch of dumb asses.

I thought I was discussing with a reasonable human being, nt knowing u are more dumb than I thought. Check urself

cy4cent:
Mecca is in Saudi Arabia, The king of Saudi Arabia serves as the head of the Saudi monarchy — House of Saud. The King
is called the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, The title, which
signifies Saudi Arabia's jurisdiction over the mosques of Masjid al Haram in Mecca and
Masjid al-Nabawi in Medina .

Rome is in Vatican city , not Italy my dear, get your facts straight.

The king is a Saudi Arabian n custodian of the two holy mosques in Islam, yet he could shake a woman heaven did not fall, I ask you again, are you more Islamic than Saudi Arabians?
you can bomb yourself if you are pained I don't give a hoot about you dumbass.

simple logic n comprehension is difficult for you, I can see.
In your bizarre n dumb mind you were happy you have said something, I pity you.

I think u are the one that has more comprehensive problem. The guy ask u, just cos Saudi os the headquarter of Islam, does that make their King more Islamic that other muslims? Nope. We should not ne gauge by what they did. Religiosity is in the heart nt location.

NobleG1:
If being a virgin is the only good quality of a responsible person, then you're kid that has no clue about relationship!

And who said virginity is the only good quality of a responsible person?
Virginity is a virtue and should be hail not condemn and responsible people give do not condemn virgins.
And you are the clueless kid here.

NobleG1:
Nobody gives a f*uck whether you're a virgin or not because it neither guarantees a good relationship nor good marraige.

Responsible ppl do give a damn abt virgins.

So to you its sleeping that guarantee a good relationship and good marraige?
Stop being a hypocrite.

What would you do?

**Buhari in dilemma as North insists on
producing SGF, NSA, CoS, CBN Gov, Finance,
FCT, Agric, Internal Affairs, Defence
Ministers.
**blaming APC for allowing crooks &
counterproductive elements from the PDP,
who brought the zoning thing into the party.
Three days after his inauguration, President
Muhammadu Buhari has not been able to
make key appointments due to a crisis of
confidence that has pitted him against
power blocs in the ruling All Progressives
Congress (APC).
This has made the National Coordinator of
the Concerned Northern Professional Forum
(CNPF), Dr. Mohammed Junaid, to accuse a
section of the APC leadership of trying to
arm-twist Buhari to make some appointments
against his wish. He accused the APC of
trying to use zoning to hold Buhari captive,
saying resorting to allotting positions on
zonal basis is inimical to good governance.
The president, which on Sunday named
Managing Director, Sun Newspapers, Mr.
Femi Adesina and head of media of his
campaign organisation, Mallam Garba Shehu,
as spokesmen, is yet to unveil names of
Secretary to the Government of the
Federation (SGF) and Chief of Staff, among
others.
But New Telegraph learnt that intense
pressure, as well as insistence on certain
government positions from intra-party and
regional power blocs, might have stalled
further announcements of sensitive
appointments by Buhari. “There is more to
what you think, the president is not keeping
the party guessing, rather, a brewing cold
war has to be stemmed from getting out of
hand”, an insider said yesterday. It was
gathered that some powerful Northern power
brokers had impressed it on the president to
restrict his search for the headship of
certain sensitive positions to the region.
The source, a member of the APC Board of
Trustees (BoT) caucus, listed some of such
positions to that of the SGF, Chief of Staff,
National Security Adviser (NSA) and the
headship of the Federal Ministry of
Finance, Agriculture, Internal Affairs, FCT
Defense. He said some young, but powerful
confidants of the president had drawn up a
list of such positions with the support of
certain influential power brokers from the
North. “We fear if the president can say no
to such persons under the present
circumstances,” he added. He said a
delegation of some influential Northerners
had handed over what he called an ‘A’ list
to the president.
“When you say the president as a person is
keeping the party guessing, I laugh. In
fairness to him, it is not true because we
know as a matter of fact that some powerful
leaders of the party from the North have
insisted on certain key appointments.
“Looking at their arguments for such, you
will also agree that they might be right to
say yes, we need to have these this time
around because in whatever we do, once
precedence has been set, it becomes
difficult to fault when successive actions in
similar light come to the fore.
“The truth remains that to say no, or simply
ignore the demands presented by this group
of our colleagues from the North will only be
insensitive, that is why we are trying to
explore more diplomatic means of concession
to one another,” he said. It could not be
immediately confirmed if the move by the
Forum of Northern States’ Secretaries to
Governments to endorse one of their own,
the Secretary to Borno State Government,
Ambassador Baba Ahmed Jidda, for the
position of SGF was in line with the push as
disclosed by the party top shot.
The forum, in a letter to Buhari and signed
by the Coordinator of the Forum and former
SSG of Niger State, Hon. Saidu Ndako Idris
Kpaki, said the recommendation was part of
their contribution to support the new
administration to succeed in its quest to
improve the lives of Nigerians. The position
of the forum had raised curiosity; especially
following reports that a founding leader of
the APC, Dr Ogbonnaya Onu, was being
considered for the job. For the positions of
the NSA and CoS, erstwhile Chief of Army
Staff, Lt. Gen. Abdurrahman Dambazau and
Col Hammed Ali, all retired, are the prime
candidates likely to get the jobs.
But New Telegraph gathered that on the
cards for the positions of Finance Minister is
Dr Tanimu Yakubu Kurfi, who was Chief
Economic Adviser to the late President
Umaru Musa Yar’Adua. But Junaid, who
clarified that he was not speaking for the
North, said the APC should be blamed for
any crisis and delay over appointments by
the president. He alleged that with the
zoning of offices, the APC was already
holding Buhari hostage. He said: “First and
foremost, I have never claimed to be
speaking for the North; my attitude has
always been what is good for the nation.
Having said that, I think the APC is creating
a problem for President Buhari by this
zoning mantra.
“Basically, I think it is because the party
allowed crooks and counterproductive
elements from the PDP to join its fold and
these persons have now brought in this idea
of zoning, which I think is very inimical to
good governance. “For instance, the position
of the SGF is a very sensitive office and it is
the engine room of the government; the
head of government must be allowed to pick
whoever he feels is best suitable for the job.
When former President Obasanjo picked
Chief Ufot Ekaette, it was believed that he
picked out of merit and not zoning, so the
APC should not try to impose any useless
zoning on the president. “The same goes for
other offices such as the CBN governor, NSA
and all that, including the now annoying
jostle for the position of the Senate
president.
“Nigerians should be wary of those who want
to plant seeds of discord that will cause
confusion in the early life of this
administration because from the way things
are going, if care is not taken, leadership
of the Senate might be in the hands of the
same ethnic group that has grabbed the
vice-presidency; that same ethnic group
wants to be speaker of the House of
Representatives. But I can bet you, it will
not be allowed to happen in this country
because we know ourselves.”

this ain't real meehn.

Hahahahahahaha, WIZGUY69 don aee something wey confuse am, him no wan gree again. Hahahaha.

Dorrobucci:
Very boring speech. This gworo man should change his fulani accent ASAP.

Keep shut abeg, u guys keep ranting up amd down about his accent as if he is the only one with accent. Mind u every tribe has their unique accent. Even whites has their own accent too. As far as u can hear him well, u should not have a problem with his accent.

I belong to everybody and I belong to nobody. Buhari

Wildrage:
The whole ceremony looks more like a military drill/parade instead of a seamless change of power between two civilian government. I think its high time we did away with colonial tradition, this should ordinarily be a celebration of our democratic process

I think due to long year pf military ruling the nation and also the military being the integral part of Nigeria ruling system, they can't do away woth it. Even in our democracy era, OBJ and GMB are all former military rulers also.

21 gun shots

Namadi sit down nah. It is not the end of life

Sai Baba Sai Buhari I wish the incoming president all the best and also the out going president also

kernel504:
I don't mean to slight you a bit, some parts of North "may" have relative peace, but not absolute peace, considering the level of their unrestiveness.
Just mention, two states in the North in the past ten years that have not at one point or the other experienced unrest?

I have mention them to you bt u are stil asking the same question again. Stop listening to heresay pls. Some states in the north are far far more peaceful than many states in the south. Tel me if u have ever heard of unrest in Sokoto, Katsina, Kebbi, Jigawa, Niger or kwara state. Or do u want to tel me that those states mention by the OP don't experience unrest too? Imagine mentioning Lagos and Benin, LMFAO

kernel504:
Don't get me wrong, which state in the North have enjoyed 5 years of absolute peace?

Are u trying to tell me that states like Jigawa, Niger, Sokoto, Kebbi, Katsina, Gombe, Zamfara, Kwara and Kogi are much more safe that most states in the south or almost all the state listed by the OP? This is just pure ignorance and hypocrisy display by u and the OP.
Imagine saying city like Lagos and Benin being more safe than the listed I listed. Just imagine.

goshen26:
Awon oponu

Why are u abusing them and y the hatred? If its other way round now, u will be shouting tribalism. U guys need to grow up pls

Mbkite:
that's ur take.
unfair generalization

Any statement make agaisnt ladies of 30 years and above, u come out to their defence and said unfair generalisation. Are u not also having an unfair generalisation agaisnt ladies below 30 or 25? Is that not double standard?
Imagine some ppl here saying they can't marry a lady of 25 years and below, what an archaic thinking.

chukwudi44:
Bros Olusola Saraki has spoken his ancestors were fulani who migrated from Mali,you can't know more than him. The sarakis have never considered themselves as yorubas.They have always aligned themselves with the core northern agenda.

All those things are just political talks jare just to curry favours. Does fulani bear Saraki or Bukola pr Gbemisola? I can agree with them aligning with the north bt they have never denied being yoruba.
