Igbo land is not Odi or Obigbo , go and ask Obasanjo and Babangida , they bare survived in the uncivil war , threatening igbos with violence is another height of ignorance , the civil war did not end because the federal Army was strong or fantastic , it ended because innocent people were dying of starvation

OVB123:
Shut rup... which benin is yoruba empire? instead it is the other way round.

Juliusmalema:
Noted.

But Benin is a Yoruba Kingdom.

Why bringing them to Asaba comparison.

Why not compare it with Osun, Ogun, Ekiti, ondo or any other Yoruba states.

I know silence sometimes is key, but please try and find ways to communicate without insults.
I am a biochemist by profession. One thing you need to realise is that these viruses (covid-19, Ebola, SARS) naturally cannot just harm us unless they have been "engineered". Ebola was found in Ape, and it wasn't harming us until some group of scientists found way for the Ebola virus to interacts harmfully with human cells.
Besides, 5g rays cannot be used to kill cells of cancer. (Please, go look at electromagnetic spectrum)

No solid Christian filled with the spirit of God can come online and castigate a member of the Kingdom of God because the World is against them. Very annoying. Even if he made mistake, do you know what God's Kingdom means. Thank God, God cannot be bribed. Ama Christian

Looks like a welding machine.
As if they joined a Stainless Steel Water dispenser and oxy-acetylene tank. Very lackluster and fourth-rated.
If Atiku would allow this to be used on his son, then I am game. If Buhari would have allowed this to be used on Abba Kyari then, we are set for takeoff.
The funny thing is the logo engraved all over it. They should stop all this nonsense display of mediocrity and get ready for business. Things are getting harder than expected.
Buhari at this point should liaise with working manufacturers to get things going. Innoson can make better deals than this nonsense here. We are not in time for this stupidity. Give Innoson cash to produce the things that we need. Nigerians are dying. For how many years have people been displaying talents and you ignored? Give professionals the money to produce these machines. Stop this bigotry. Let the NAF work with Innoson and let us get things going.

No one should fall for this nonsense. Look properly, the soldiers are taking pictures of the machine which means that they have not seen it before AND THEY PRODUCED IT See how they are staring at what they produced.

Nigerian Army should show us their manufacturing factory, to begin with. We know that the Nigerian army is not capable of producing anything. They should focus on producing local guns that we buy from Russia and China. Local thieves manufacture their own guns. Ojukwu produced bombs and weapons during the civil war but Nigerian soldiers complain of a lack of guns to fight Boko Haram. Someone who can produce this machine can produce guns and bombs to fight Boko Haram. Why do we give China and Russia so much money for weapons if these guys can produce this?

The Nigerian army at this point should have been a prime example of invention and creativity. Nigerians have prolific assets all over the world engineering invention and working as unseen brains behinds major technological developments. Sadly, once you are in Nigeria you are coerced to conform to shallow reasoning and medieval modus operandi.
The motive for joining the military in Nigeria is not to serve the nation but to subjugate poor civilians and oppress lowly victims of the economic plummet in Nigeria.

Buhari is an old father of tribalism. He is the definition of a bigot. And, he has surrounded himself with people as wicked as himself. NAF should show us the bodies of Boko haram and save this petty thing for their children. We are wiser than baby tricks

It is always smooth and easy for you Nigerians to insult people. What research have you made on 5G? If the Bishop is Dumb, so are the about 19 Countries (US inclusive), that have rejected the 5G. Why can't you lots make your independent researches? Someone rightly said that 'If you want to hide an information from a Blackman, put in in a book'. If you need proof that this 5G thing is dangerous, let me know and I'd gladly blow your mind with enough information. If the 5G were good, why install it simultaneously all over the World while the World is observing a "Lockdown"? Why not before the Lockdown or even after it? Why can't you people think for once? Go read about the 5G thing online and the Event201. Most Nigerians take things to loosely until it is too late. I weep for a lot of you Nigerians. You have not the faintest idea of what you're about to embrace. Do your independent research. Are you better schooled, travelled, connected or exposed than the people who are calling for its halt and possibly eradication? Be wise!!!

The Central Bank of Nigeria on Friday said it would continue to implement the cashless policy in line with its mandate to ensure an efficient payment system.

The CBN Governor, Mr Godwin Emefiele, said this while briefing journalists shortly after the Monetary Policy Committee meeting.

He said that contrary to claims in some quarters that many Nigerians would suffer the negative impact of the policy, only about five to 10 per of bank customers would be affected.

The apex bank had in a circular to Deposit Money Banks stated that from Wednesday, September 18, it would impose three per cent processing fees on withdrawals and two per cent processing fees on lodgements of amounts above N500, 000 for individual accounts.

For corporate accounts, the apex bank in the circular said that DMBs would charge five per cent processing fees on withdrawals and three processing fee on lodgements of amounts above N3m.

The House of Representatives had on Thursday through a resolution directed the apex bank to suspend the policy.

But responding to the development, Emefiele said if the Nigerian economy was to compete effectively with those of developed countries, a payment system that encourages the use of non-cash channels was desirable.

He said that before the cashless policy was first inaugurated in 2012, a lot of stakeholder engagements were done to sensitise Nigerians on its benefits.

He said the policy was suspended in 2014 to allow more payment channels to be developed by Deposit Money Banks.

The governor said that since the policy was suspended, currency management cost had continued to increase year-on-year at an average annual growth rate of 33 per cent.

However, he said the bank had continued to provide alternative channels, adding that people had embraced it.

He said Point of Sale transactions had moved from N48bn in 2012 to N2.2tn while electronic transfer had moved from N3.8tn in 2012 to N80.46tn in 2018.

Emefiele said, “Since the policy was first launched, currency management costs have continued to increase year-on-year at an average annual growth rate of 33 per cent.

“Notwithstanding, electronic transactions have increased within the economy. We have provided alternative channels and people have embraced it.

“This is a strategic timing of these actions because on Monday, September 23rd, the mutual evaluation by GIABA (Inter-governmental Action Group Against Money Laundering in West Africa) on the country’s anti-money laundry and CFT (Combating Financing of Terrorism) regime will begin.

“Passing the mutual evaluation positions Nigeria as a safe and credible destination for financial transactions across the world.

“GIABA will be in Nigeria to access the rate at which Nigeria has embraced anti-money laundry and CFT regime. It is important that we display and show to them that Nigeria is indeed in conformity with their practices as enshrined in their anti-money laundry and CFA laws.”

The apex bank boss said if the CBN did not implement the cashless policy, credit cards owned by Nigerians might not be used abroad.

On the Value Added Tax, he said the MPC supported the decision of the Federal Government to increase the rate from five per cent to 7.5 per cent.

He said with Nigeria having one of the lowest VAT rate in the world, and faced with fiscal challenge, the best way to shore up revenue was to increase tax.

He said, “The MPC endorsed the increase in the VAT rate from five per cent to 7.5 per cent. The government has the responsibility to fend for everybody.

“In fending for everybody means that it has to spend money to provide infrastructure – roads, airports, different things that will improve the lives of its people.

1. Basically the bridge was bearing a load it was not designed to bear, hence the collapse.

2. Which makes sense....though when the folk were designing the bridge, they should have taken into account possibility of higher load ie..buildiing it with adequate planning for any eventualities.

Modified

I advise anyone quoting me to insult me to read my points slowly, especially point number 2. Thank you very much.

You can also criticise me without personal insults. I think I have made my point without insults. Thank you again

Finally...here is what the VC said...



Which validates my two points...that a heavy sudden load caused the collapse, and that in building the bridge they should have taken that into account..the possibility of a heavy load.

MARTIAL BED.

My wife says no sex until her mother leaves our house.
FROM A MALE READER:

I'm happily married with two young kids ages 2 and 4. We stay in a 2-bedroom apartment and usually leave the connecting door ajar so that if the kids wake up during the night they may have access to our room to seek comfort, which is very frequent especially during these noisy thunder storms.

My problem started with the arrival of my mother-in-law, less than a week ago to spend 2 months. Of course, she sleeps with her grand kids in their room.

This doesn’t stop them from frequenting our room during the night, so the door is still left ajar. Much to my amazement, my wife has now told me that she will no longer allow us to copulate during the time her mother is with us. She said her mum scolded her and feels we are rude to engage in lovemaking knowing fully well that she is in the adjoining room.

My wife has always feared her mum so it is impossible for me to convince her that this is her house, not her mum’s. I don’t see myself going one week without sex, talk less of 2 months! Is it my fault that the bed creaks or that my wife has to make noise at her height of ecstasy?

I feel that my mother-in-law is being very intrusive and insensitive and I’m prepared to talk to her and ask her to leave if she insists on tormenting my wife, but I know that my wife won’t find it funny at all.

What should I do?

You guys have started again with this ethnicity bs!
I thought that ended with the elections?
Must we always put ethnic connotation in every argument on nairaland?
When are we going to reach a situation where we all celebrate the awesomeness of Nigerians all over the world?
When Dr. Philip Emeagwali was accorded the award of inventing the fastest computer in the world,he was first referred to as a nigerian!
Lets all stop this whole tribalism attack which has led us to no where and celebrate this great feat from an extraordinary nigerian!

You said nobody would want to allow northerners 16 years as president? We in the SS/SE would gladly want and even support them heartfully.
Let Yorubas vote themselves president. After all, the SW has over 16 million registered voters.

princeade86:
hmm mmm mmm. many of u dont know that the only sin atiku committed was that, he dont allow OBJ for third term agenda. but to make the matter worst, 70% of nigerians are illetrate, they believe only what they read online or news paper. for Christ sake, atiku was never a president, yet u are saying he is corrupt. yet, u never charge him for once to court, but using media to tarnish his name. or is he superior to be charge ni? politics!!!!! a game that turn graduate to illetrate. they will know the truth, but will leave it because of selfish interest.
