This is keenly contested and eruditely debated. Good job by both parties. Only winners will emerge from this and no loser at all.

No amount of apology will suffice for my absence. I am emotionally and physically exhausted after a journey that lasted 42 hours.

This is what really happened.

It's not abt hate, it's abt sense.Does the slogan make any sense to u?listen to it again:"Naturally ahead"...it sounds more of a joke seriously
How can someone be naturally ahead of you?

It seems you need explanation. The slogan, like that of other universities is just to imbibe the spirit of belongings in her students and alumni. If UI uses "first and the best," unilorin uses "better by far." I don't think anyone should grumble if ABU chooses naturally ahead of you.

I don't like this slogan.It doesn't make much sense

The lagoon is always open dear. Go and try your luck. safe trip hater.

We all know faculty of medicine is very conscious about exam arrangement. that must be shehu Yar'adua hall. It takes determination and commitment to escape from Bermuda triangle unscathed.

munex007:
I thought non muslims may not understand some concept there and I was trying to avoid bashing of muslimahs..

Will consider it

nobody bash them when they post their own religion related literary work. in fact, it will help disseminate the message that there are competent Muslim writers.

The late man - from this - seems to have been just an innocent man who probably knew nothing about the snatched girlfriend but the soldier just had to prove a point by beating up someone. They do that a lot. Painful!

This is exactly my conclusion. Someone was killed for an offence he knew nothing about.

Fynestboi:
Now I believe there is just a step between death and life.

A very thin line separates life and death. One minute, you are here, the other, you are gone. It seems to be the most easiest and painful occurrence in life.

Following this story and waiting for more. You could have put this in literature section for more coverage.

Neyoor:
It is very unfortunate and disheartening that the news is real

we've indeed lost an hero!

Confirmed! He is gone! "You shall die and they shall die" is what Allah told the prophet. It is not prepared for but we've to give room for the supreme knowledge of the unseen that God holds. He might see what we are not seeing.

What a life! This life is indeed a drama stage. The twist and suspense is never ending. I was thinking about the vanity and ephemerality of life when I read a post shared on a what's app group this evening not knowing someone I came across in the middle of an heated debate and who has left indelible mark of knowledge on me had kiss the earth goodbye. What a life! When we will wake up from our slumber before the gate closes on us? Our life is ebbing out yet we frolic in the deceitful river of life.

**copied***WHAT IS THIS LIFE?

A man is born today, Tomorrow he is dead.

A man lives in a mansion today, Tomorrow he lives
underground.

A man drives a car today, Tomorrow an ambulance
drives him.

A man reads biology today, Tomorrow a biography
is been read of him.

A man eats whatever he wants today, Tomorrow he
becomes food for insects.

A man is always early for work today, Tomorrow he
is termed late Mr/Mrs.

A man is seen resting in his house today, Tomorrow he is resting in a coffin. And they say "Rest In Peace"!

A man eats all kinds of fruits in his house today,
Tomorrow he becomes manure to those trees.

A man is known today as the richest man ever,
Tomorrow he doesn't even know where or what will
happen to his riches.

What is life after all?

ACT RIGHT AND LIVE GODLY. ALWAYS BE A HELPING HAND TO OTHERS.

TonyeBarcanista:
Few days ago, the leadership of the PDP announced that it has zoned the office of the PDP National Chairman to the North East geopolitical zone of the country. While some people kicked against such arrangement saying that it is be unfair to the south for the north to retain the chairmanship office considering that the party's Presidential ticket for 2019 has been zoned to the north, some others argue that the arrangement was aimed at serving the interest of incumbent chairman Ali Modu Sheriff and his loyalists.

While I shall justify the position of the party to zone the office of the National Chairman to the North East, I shall be silent on whether or not it was to justify Sheriff's ambition to succeed himself because it is undemocratic to deny anybody the right to aspire for any political office except such ambition contravenes the law. I shall also discuss the political interest of South East geopolitical zone within the PDP.

The Legitimacy And Rationality of Zoning The Office To North East:
A critical look at the precedence within the PDP will always point that in every election/post election year, the party Presidential candidate and the occupant of National Chairman office of the party are spliit between the North and the South. After Chief Alex Ekweme stepped down in 1998 to challenge Chief Olusegun Obasanjo for the party's Presidential ticket for 1999 election, late Chief Solomon Lar from Plateau state(North Central) emerged as Chairman. In 1999 when the party held it first congress, it zoned the office of National Chairman to the zone, and produced Chief Barnabas Gemade(Benue, North Central) as chairman. In its 2001 convention, the party again allowed NC to retain the office since SW(Olusegun Obasanjo) is retaining the party Presidential ticket for 2003 election, the Convention produced Chief Audu Ogbeh (Benue, NC) as National Chairman(tenure for serving NWC officers was increased to 4years). Ogbeh resigned as Chairman in 2004 and was replaced by Col Ahmad Ali(Kogi NC) who was confirmed by 2005 National Convention. Because PDP zoned the Presidential ticket of 2007 to North West, it zoned the Chairmanship office of 2008 Convention to South East. While Musa Yar'adua(Katsina NW) emerged Presidential candidate and eventually President in 2007, Chief Vincent Ogbulafor(Abia SE) emerged National Chairman to serve till 2012. Ogbulafor was forced to resign in May 2010 and was succeeded by Dr.
Okwesileze Nwodo(Enugu, SE), who was expected to ccomplete the tenure of South East.It was expected that the North West(Yar'adua) would retain the party's Presidential ticket for 2011 while the South East would retain the office of National Chairman, as with the practice of PDP and also the North-South gentleman agreement of 2006. However, with the death of Yar'dua and emergence of Goodluck Jonathan(Bayelsa, SS) as party's Presidential candidate for 2011, it means that the National Chairmanship seat would move northward in 2012, hence, the party zoned the office of the chairman to the North East in 2012. Alhaji Bamangar Tukur (Adamawa NE) emerged Chairman in 2012 Convention, he resigned in 2014 and was ssucceeded by Alhaji Adam Muazu(Baluchi NE).

By virtue of the fact that the South South through Dr Goodluck Jonathan retained the party's Presidential ticket, it automatically means that the office of the Chairman held by North East would be retained by the zone in the 2016 National Convention. It is not the fault of the North, particularly the NorthEast that Jonathan lost the 2015 election. It will be unfair to allow the North East zone lose their legitimate right simply because Jonathan lost to Buhari. I believe that no one would even be agitating for the South to produce the Chairman if Jonathan(South) had won the 2015 President election. That said, the zoning of the chairman to the North East is highly in order.

North Producing Party Presidential Candidate For 2019 Does Not Negate It:
Using the 2019 arrangement for 2016 event is inappropriate going by party's precedents and gentleman agreement. Already, PDP has the agreement of allowing the North and South take turns of two consecutive tickets each. The death of Yar'adua saw the rule broken to accommodate Jonathan's ambition in 2011. Waiting to takeover party ticket in 2015, the party still accommodated Jonathan for a second term. One don't need a prophet to know that the legitimate thing to do in 2019 was to return the party ticket to the north in 2019 and 2023. This in no way can affect the Chairmanship position, those that feels the party chairman seat should not remain in the north east should take a holistic review of their position.

South East Must Produce PDP's VP Candidate In 2019/23 And Presidential Candidate In 2027/31:
Of the three geopolitical zones in the south, the South East has been the most shortchanged as long as the PDP is concerned despite the fact that the loyalty of the geopolitical zone to the party is never in doubt. With the emergence of Dr Goodluck Jonathan (Bayelsa SS) as PDP's Vice Presidential candidate in 2007, the coast was set for the South East to enjoy the Chairmanship seat for the period of 2008 to 2016, and also clinch the party's Presidential ticket in 2015 when the North would have exhausted their turn of two tickets through Umaru Musa Yar'adua. However er, the death of the former president and emergence of Dr.Jonathan as party's candidate in 2011 made the South East to lose the Chairmanship in 2012 because no region can hold both at the same time. Jonathan's clinching of party's in 2015 invariably means that 2019 and 2023 will be held by the North. However, considering that the VeePee slot will return to the south in 2019 and 2023, it is only appropriate the the South East be allowed to enjoy the slot considering that it is the only zone in the south that is yet to be on the Presidential and VP ticket since return of democracy. The South West through Olusegun Obasanjo(Ogun, SW) enjoyed the President slot in 1999 and 2003, the South South through Jonathan enjoyed the VP slot in 2007, and president slot in 2011 and 2015, leaving the South East with nothing. Even the office of National Chairman of the party that they were supposed to enjoy for four years(2008-2012) was only enjoyed by them for Two years(Ogbulafor 2008-2010 and Nwodo 2010), the remaining two years was held by the North through Haliru Bello in the guise of 'Acting Chairman'. I believe that justice would only be served when the zone get what is due to them.

Having said the above, I urge Igbos from the SouthEast not to be coerced into giving up their. legitimate demand of producing VP of the party in 2019 and 2023, and President in 2027 and 2031 when it returned to the South. In fact, the Igbos from South East have the moral obligation to vote against the PDP in 2019 should it deny them their legitimate slot.

I am from the South South(Rivers state) but I don't think it is appropriate to side injustice. In fact, I have consistently maintained that while the North should produce presidential candidate in 2019, the South East must produce the running mate. That position I still maintain.

Finally, I commend the NEC led by Sen Ali Modu Sheriff on the decision made so far, I believe that the party is on the right track as it prepares to takeover tenancy of Aso Rock in 2019. I pray we don't deviate.






May God Bless Us All And Bless Nigeria

what an insightful analysis tonye! But sadly, Nigerians have moved forward and we will never gulp down our vomit. Let The people deceiving party permutate from now till eternity, Nigerians are done with them. Get this right and relay it to your leaders. We have crossed the red sea and will never go back to Egypt. PDP is part of our past, we've chatted course for the future and no pdp.

I wonder how no electricity helps the economy

How does no electricity improve my productivity Which in turn helps to boost my immediate community

Why are you responding to someone When you and Fashola should be out in the field with helmets and boots fixing power supply.

Oga, with all due respect, u need to put on that yellow helmet right now and call Fashola, tell him to meet you at the power station for today's work, mtcheew

You are a liar. speak for your area in Lagos don't generalise. There has been 10 hours of light per in ifako/ijaiye where I am. If there is any other thing, you are indeed a wailing wailer.

A suggestion:

You ain't gonna like it, but what's the fun in it if you always agree with everything I say? I don't fücking care! I don't give a fück!

This whole drama; the Mr/Miss Nairaland thing should be scrapped. For good. For what's worth, it doesn't add anything to this forum. In fact, for the records, it causes more harm than good. And recently, it has become so stupidly and annoyingly childish. The stupidity that's associated with this competition is nauseating. And that 50K? Give it to the people who need it most. It'd be utterly useless and out of sorts having to throw in 50K in such a childish drama that's as derogatorily degrading as this. Non sequitur!

Ewww! I'm out.

you've spoken well my brother. Imagine the low publicity the NISD is getting in relation to this celebrated ignominy. I aired my view when someone was talking about how Nigerians have been rewired to hold in high esteem, fashion parade while ignoring debates among sagacious mind.

First it was unilag, then uniport followed now UI. Three of our best. It's pathetic.

ABU will never do this since our management co-operate or rather, we are to meek to ask for our rights.
