Some people have problem with reading sha! The money was refunded between 2008 and 2013. When did Goodluck become president? If you can't read and understand,then wahala dey oooo!

What a shame! Because you have been promised an appointment abi? If it was a joke as u say it is,why has Oba not said he wasn't serious? Abeg,enough of this damage control nonsense,the damage is done already biko

Where is Governor Amaech that reported Dame Patience to ICC? Is Oba's statement not worth reporting? You see that we are never sincere with ourselves in this country! If Oba's threat isn't taken seriously and adequate sanction given,then nobody should ever report anyone irrespective of his/her party affliation.

There we go again! Before the presidential election,alot of people wanted Jega to go but APC refused. Now APC want River REC to be removed. When are we ever going to get it right in this country? When things don't go our way,we cry foul but when it is in our favour,we praise! If INEC must remove Rivers REC,then all the RECs in the different states should be reshuffled in the spirit of fainess. Figures in the North is still a surprise but who will contest the figures,APC is the ruling party!

We are too forgetful in this country sha! Nobody has asked Obasanjo where the snippers he claimed Goodluck was training are? Everyone is jumbing and forgetting to ask the real questions. I love Nigeria and we want her to go forward

Nigerians can talk anyhow sha,kai! Do u guys think that if Goodluck had not conceeded defeat that u guys would be behind your computer to write jargons?We should all be thankful that Jonathan did what he did cos he is a peaceful man. Everyone is praising Buhari and we forgot easily what happened in 2011. What a shame to us as a people esp as youths.

Nigerian youths,when are we ever going to learn to make comments devoid of insults?We claim to be leaders of tomorrow but most of us can't make a comment without been abusive.Whao!This is really disappointing.

U are so right,I guess their training helped most of us turn out well. Children of nowadays have no fear at all cos parents these days don't have such time and alot has changed. God bless our parents.

Why is everyone talking about Mimiko? If u ask Mimiko to resign,what should we tell Amaech,Kwankwasor and the other governors that defected to APC? If we can't learn to state issues reasonably without setiments then,we have a problem. Our so-called representatives have nothing to teach the youths,they have all failed!

I remember reading about the civil war from Chinua Achebe's book, 'THERE WAS A COUNTRY". A northerner was the president and commander-in chief of the armed forces. People were killed in their thousands, children, women etc. Most Nigerians especially from the north were in support of the killings and even went to the point of stopping any form of aid to the eastern part of the country. Human rights didn't come out to say anything, people were killed in their prime and nothing happened. It is just sad that Nigerians didn't learn anything from that at all. They planned to use insurgency to score cheap political points at the expense of innocent lives. Children are killed every day and all we can do is to clap hands and support a political party. We all have failed! You mustn’t be a president to make a difference! Why did we go to school in the first place? Did we go through all the stress to sit back at home and blame government for our problems? What efforts have we the youths made to secure our future? We may think boko haram is a problem of the northern states, wait, till it comes to your door step. PDP, APC, LP and all other parties in Nigeria should either pull resources together to fight the menace or shut their mouths! The earlier we the youths make our presence felt in this country by being actively involved in the growth of our country, the better for us!

When Buhari declared,there was no bomb blast,Kwankwasor declared,no bomb blast. Goodluck may not be perfect but we should cut this man some slack. Everyone is condemning and insulting him. They say Goodluck has failed Nigerians and should resign. Borno governor whose state over 200 Chibok girls were kidnapped and where series of killings have taken place picked a nomination form to contest again. APC hasn't told him to resign. Yobe Governor claimed he has shut down schools cos of boko haram killings,how come a school in the state was attacked yesterday? He even had the effontery to tell Federal govt to explain how they are protecting lives? The truth is,politicians are shameless,heartless and extremely wicked. Why can't they shun party politics and come to together to protect lives? We should leave Goodluck alone. I wonder how he hasn't developed heart attack with all the insults and name calling. If the northern governors whose region all these killings are taking place can't come together to proffer solution then,God will be the judge! Until there is a better candidate to take over which I havn't seen from the so-called APC,Goodluck pls continue. Okorocha has just told us they have no agenda. When people talk too much,they end up making themselves look foolish. Imagine a presidential aspirant telling us he will bring a trailer load of money to show he is wealthy. I don't blame them,I blame us the youth. If we can't learn to fight for our rights and those of generations coming,then we should enjoy the suffering cos our so-called leaders are taking us back to the era of slave trade.It is unfortunate that innocent lives are lost unnecessarily but I know one thing,the wicked shall not go unpunished.

President Goodluck Jonathan on Tuesday held a meeting with the aggrieved senators on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for a deal.
THISDAY was reliably informed on Wednesday that the president, in reaction to PDP senators’ decision to shut down legislation in the upper chamber, summoned the aggrieved party members to a meeting at the Presidential Villa.
The meeting which was held at 10p.m., was said to have been attended by the president along with members of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party.
One of the senators who did not want to be named, told THISDAY that the president and NWC members opted to swiftly convene the meeting because of the consciousness of the threat posed to PDP’s chances at the 2015 polls by the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The senators had on Tuesday threatened to shut down legislation in protest of their losses at the party’s ward congresses on Saturday, saying President Jonathan had handed PDP structures in their states to the governors.
They resolved that until the president and the NWC of the party reverse the trend in a way that will enhance their chances to return to the Senate in 2015 the upper legislative chamber would remain shut down indefinitely.
Indeed, while they adjourned sitting by standing down all the items on the Order Paper on Tuesday, they also made real their threat to perpetuate the action indefinitely as they repeated the same trend yesterday by adjourning sittings till November 11, throwing out all matters slated for consideration.
They threatened to ensure that the trend continues until the president addresses their grievances.
According to them, they had given maximum support to the president since inception and hence did not deserve to be left in the cold as shown by the output of the last ward congresses of PDP.
However, on Wednesday, angry youths under the aegis of Nigerian Youth Movement for Peace, Empowerment and Transformation stormed the National Assembly and issued a 10-day ultimatum to lawmakers to re-open the institution or face violent and forceful take-over of the parliament.
The group said they were enraged by the federal lawmakers’ decision to shut down both chambers of the federal legislature in pursuit of their selfish objectives.
Whereas Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr. Aminu Tambuwal, had on October 28, defected from the PDP to the APC and consequently announced adjournment of sittings to December 3, the senators on Tuesday threatened to shut down legislation in protest of their losses at the party’s ward congresses on Saturday
The youth group which was denied entrance into the National Assembly premises by security operatives which shut the gate threatened that if in the next 10 days, the National Assembly does not resume legislative business, the youths would be mobilised across the 36 states of the federation and the long gate would be pulled down to enable them gain entrance into the premises.
The group’s spokesman, Rex Anighoro, described the Senate’s decision to shut down the chamber as a show of impunity, selfishness and an aberration which he said would not be allowed to go unchallenged.
He said: “The odious oddity is the senators’ decision to engage in macabre dance. Nigeria’s union is sick and needs medical attention. These people are serving their personal and parochial interests. They expressed solidarity for Tambuwal’s defection not on the basis of morality but because of their selfish interests.
“Because they lost at their ward congresses, therefore, they shut the Senate and declared solidarity for Tambuwal with the intention to put the president under pressure. That is why we are saying no to impunity in every stratum of government. This is an aberration. The people of Nigeria are not in their calculations. They are only concerned about the survival of their selfish interests,” he said.
Also castigating Tambuwal and the entire National Assembly, he added: “It’s a shame for Tambuwal to go on recess when he’s needed most. Members of Nigeria’s National Assembly are the highest paid in the world while our military are the least paid in the world. They shut down the National Assembly when Adamawa, Borno, Yobe are on fire and money keeps coming into their pocket. It is a sin on them. People ought to rise up against this impunity. It is a disservice to us.
“Tambuwal ought to be representing the youth groups. All over the world, leadership age is coming down. We expected Tambuwal to give us hope but sadly, he is eating the same pie. We are saying the House should reconvene. If they don’t reconvene in the next 10 days, we will mobilise all youth groups to compel them to reconvene or else, we will pull down this gate and the congress of the people will take over the National Assembly. If they don’t reconvene, it shows they are the real Boko Haram (which should be fought),” he said.
Also speaking, Bishop Amakiri, said since Tambuwal, a lawyer, knew the constitution provision in Section 68(1g), he should have honourably resigned after announcing his defection on October 28.
However, Senate President, David Mark, yesterday swiftly reacted to the threat by his colleagues in the PDP caucus that senators would team up with members of the House of Representatives to impeach Jonathan in expression of their solidarity with Tambuwal when the need arises.
Mark, while speaking before the parliament adjourned parliamentary proceedings yesterday, said the Senate would not interfere in matters of the House moreso that Tambuwal’s defection has now become the subject of litigation. Nevertheless, he vowed to protect the interest of legislature as the case may be.
“We are not to interfere in the internal affairs of each House. However, as Chairman of the National Assembly, I cannot fold my arms or pretend that all is well about the current crisis. I am therefore going to do all I can to resolve the current impasse.
“Furthermore, the matter is already in a court of law; we cannot therefore discuss the issues here. I want to assure all of you that I will do the needful to protect and defend the legislature at all cost,” Mark said.
However, unlike the situation on Tuesday, APC senators yesterday attempted to stop PDP senators from adjourning proceedings in pursuit of their personal goals but the opposition lawmakers lacked the required capacity to do so through the voice vote.
Speaking with journalists thereafter, one of the opposition senators, Babafemi Ojudu (Ekiti Central), lambasted his PDP colleagues, accusing them of foisting on them and the entire nation the alleged impunity reigning in their party.
According to Ojudu, the PDP senators are crying foul after falling victims of their party’s impunity, threatening that if APC senators have their way, they will re-open the chamber today and carry on with their legislative assignment.
Further, Ojudu said legislation should be in the collective interest of the nation and not in some individuals’ selfish interests, adding: “Now, they have seen injustice, they are fighting. We have seen injustice for more than two and half years. We wanted to fight, our colleagues did not allow us to fight. Why must it be when it affects us that we act?” he queried.
Ojudu who alleged that PDP senators were denying the opposition of the opportunity to carry out their constitutional assignment, added: “People should have standards. Now that they have seen that a lot of them are no longer welcome back in their homes; now that they have realised that they have made themselves slaves to the executive, they are shouting. When you present yourself as a slave, definitely, you will be treated as a slave. That is the consequence of their actions over the years. But Nigeria voted them here to come and work. We must work... It is unfortunate that the 2015 budget will be affected but we are in the minority, we have our say but they have their way.” By Omololu Ogunmade in Abuja

Very funny indeed,why will a man ask a woman to stick to first degree and not go for masters,do I smell low self esteem? Why will a woman put her life on hold because she wants a man to see her as valuable? Some guys with the way they reason sef,anyways,everyone is entitled to their opinion. I can't remember any part in the bible or even Quran that specified the highest level of education a woman should acquire. I will pretend I didn't read this thread cos most of the things mentioned are ways a woman should live her life just to please a man. It is obvious some guys still see women as lesser beings whose purpose in life is to satisfy a man and not create an impact in her family and society! People really need to change their ways of reasoning and learn to encourage their wives,girlfriends,sisters and daughters.

Can't people comment without name calling? It is sad that we the youth don't have anything to learn from all these. These man are enjoying their lives at the expense of our economy and amassing wealth for their 20th generation,yet unborn,building empires and all we the youth do is to sit and argue about who is right or wrong. Leaders of tomorrow indeed. We can't come together and demand our right,instead we sit and complain with no impact. If we continue this way,one day we wil wake up and Nigeris is gone,God help us!

Politics is a game and if you can't play the game,don't get involved. You don't need to be most learned man to be a politician. Everyone is having a say now because the president is taking action. When APC became majority in the house,did they not plan to impeach the president? What did Tambuwal do about it? If Goodluck wasn't smart enough to get people to defect from APC to PDP,what would have happened? He is only taking his pound of flesh. We are all entitled to our opinion and no matter what we say,let the best player win the game,shekena! TALK IS CHEAP!

It is really unfortunate that we lack respect in this country. Freedom of speech shouldn't be a reason for people to talk without reasoning. Many call the president clueless and stupid but come to think of it,everyone mustn't like the president. if you hate him that much,it is simple,go to the poll and cast your vote for your preferred candidate. If we continue with this trend of unnecessary insults on any leader you feel you don't like,then we have nothing to teach the coming generation!

Hello guys,I am presently doing my MSC in Petroleum Geology here in Nigeria and I need your suggestions for topics for my thesis. I will really appreciate your ideas,thanks

Hmmm,this is a very interesting write up,very encouraging too

In as much as having a side guy is wrong,I don't encorage any lady to put all her eggs in one basket.You think you have a main guy,only to find out later that you are just his side chick,what happens? Relationship these days is complicated! My cousin's friend had this guy she was so madly in love with that she never allowed anyone come close,the guy proposed to her and after some months,came up with some flimsy excuses. She was heart broken and it took alot of talking to and encouragement to make her feel better. I don't think ppl are sincere with r/s anymore.

This is awesome,I wish him all the best and pray he wins!
