A welcome development from COFI, even as we encourage them churches to contribute more to the social wellbeing of the masses.

After all, even Jesus was more of a Philanthropist than a 'christian'

It's nothing but the exact strategy employed by the same man in 1984.

What happened to the deal Buhari signed with the German company to generate something like 20,000 megawatts, or is that signing ceremony just for the camera.

Please do you know why we don’t sack our local, state and federal government officials in the legislative and executive arms for non-performance too

. I appreciate you for this question. A marriage can be put on record in the local government just as a birth or death certificate is put on record there.The constitution gives the local governments the right to do this ..It is just for a record purpose.This is NOT a statutory marriage.according to the marriage act. You will not be given a wedding certificate from the federal government. You will just be given a paper DOCUMENT like birth certificate indicating that both of you live together as husband and wife....

Benin Republic is an African nation so I don't see how Niger choosing them over us means Africans aren't united.

Oga, u deceived me in 2015 (I don't know about others) with ur 'change' mantra to the extent that I now hate the word 'change'.

Sir, you guys haven't lived up to expectations. All we hear is grammar without action. In terms of standard of living, we are now worse off since 2015. So keep these talks to urself

General Muhammadu Buhari in UK:
I Will Maintain a Modest Lifestyle as President - Buhari...Will Resuscitate Nigerian Airways...All Presidential Aircrafts Will Be Brought Under
Nigerian Airways

"One of the major killer of our economy apart from corruption is Waste. Our scarce resources are being plunder away very carelessly and unnecessarily wasted. "Let me give an instance, presently, there are more than 6 aircraft in the presidential fleet.

What do you call that? "Billions of naira is budgeted every year for the maintenance of these aircraft not to talk of operational cost and other expenses.

"You may want to ask what a Nigerian President is doing with so much aircraft when a Prime Minister of Britain fly around using the same public aircraft like an ordinary Briton.

"Go and check and compare with that of any developed country in the world, the office of the Nigerian President is a very expensive one inspite our
high level of poverty and joblessness.

"Despite all these, you still find a Nigerian Minister spending about N10billion to charter an aircraft for just one year."Now, for me, when we come
into office, all these waste will be blocked and properly channelled into our economy. "We intend for instance, to bring back our National carrier, the Nigerian Airways."We shall do this by bringing all the aircraft in the presidential fleet into the Nigerian airway and within a year increase the fleet into about 20.

What is the Difference between me and those who elected us to represent them, absolutely nothing. Why should Nigerian President not fly with other Nigerian public? "Why do I need to embark on a foreign trip as a president with a huge crowd with public funds?"Why do I need to go for
foreign medical trip if we cannot make our hospital functional? "Why do we need to send our children to school abroad if we cannot developed our university to compete with the foreign ones?

"Why, and why must our people be servants to the foreigners in the midst of plenty? I can go on and on."I came here in the UK and I chose to trek just to make sure I sent a message back home to some people who wish us dead.

This is not my struggle, it is our collective efforts to save Nigeria from those who have failed us for 16 years."-

I totally disagree with the theory that this building collapsed as result of substandard materials. Builders and owners of buildings in Ikoyi cannot stoop so low, they are big boys. That building may have collapsed due to structural defect as result of impossible design. Part of the building decking may have been designed without pillar. I am judging from the angle from which I am seeing the picture.

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, has said politicians’ sins are forgiven when they join the ruling party.


Oshiomhole made this statement on Thursday, while welcoming new members to the party, at the APC presidential campaign in Benin.

As he reeled out names of those who have defected from the PDP to the APC, he said: “I am told that there are a lot of very very senior people from PDP who have decided to join forces with President Buhari to take the broom to sweep away PDP and to continue to ensure that APC continues to preside all over Nigeria.

“It includes my own brother, my friend who comes from my own clime, Henry Duke Genebe. He is the former organising secretary of PDP and we also have former vice chairman PDP and leader of Edo North of PDP. We also have my brother Chief Esheshi Godwin. He is also former council chairman and my very dear friend. We have quite a number of other leaders who have come.

“We have quite a number of other leaders who have come… in fact, once you have joined APC, all your sins are forgiven.”

my brother, this one is motivational speech. The reality is if u have intelligence and u fail to use it, it simply means u dont have it.

I always ask this question:

why were we not the ones who explored Europe and conquered the continent and colonize them?

why were they ones who came down here, exploited and defeated us?

Princedapace:
Oh, as old as black race is we dont even have our own vaccine to treat diseases in our continents.

Black is a conquered race. Forget trying to hide the truth. A president in Russia will sit in his country and invite the entire African presidents to come to his country for summit and they will all foolishly go. Wasting money on hotels and boosting the economy of the host country.

Blacks have been conquered in all areas. Or do we have anything that is working in any black country?

Princedapace:
Na today u know sey black race na mumu race? The race no get sense at all. The people wey luckily get sense among black race no reach 2 percent. Have u ever walked on the street and see how foolish the black race is when u see people burn petty criminal but praise and fight for their politicians who loot their entire future?

The race was designed to fail.

Her name is Katie. Not surprised as she is white. The she lives in a society where HIV is seen as a virus, not different from other viral infections, in a society where they don't say 'God punished or rewarded' for premarital and most importantly in a sane society where living with the virus doesn't make you a lesser human. Strangely, Katie would marry, live her life more than most normal humans would, give birth and die at old age.

If only we had this mindset, people living with the virus among us won't either be on a 'revenge mission' or live like outcasts, all thanks to stigmatization.

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo says President Muhammadu Buhari may not do well in economy and foreign affairs, except in military matters.

“Buhari is not a very hot person on the economy and foreign affairs,” Obasanjo said.

The former President stated this on Monday at the third International Conference on African Development Issues — themed, “Driving inclusive and sustainable development in Africa: Models, methods and policies” — organised by Covenant University, Ota, Ogun State.

While reacting to a question posed to him by a member of the audience: “Is there any hope for Nigeria under the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari?”, Obasanjo replied, “Is there any hope for Nigeria under this administration? I came back from Geneva, Switzerland a few days ago to attend a conference titled, ‘Are elections giving democracy a bad name?’ We had an election, we elected a leader and the good thing about democracy is that the power you have to elect a leader is also the power you have to remove him. I am saying this because I said earlier that if you don’t see any leader that has done well in the 56 years of Nigeria’s independence, then let us forget about Nigeria.

“I will tell you what I know and I will tell you what I don’t know. I know Gen. Muhammadu Buhari. He served under me in the military. His characteristics that I know, his behaviour that I know, he has not deviated from them. He was never a perfect man, he is not a perfect man and no leader can ever be a perfect man because they are human beings. But if you read my book, what I said about him is correct. He is not a hot person when it comes to economy. He is not a very hot person when it comes to foreign affairs. But he will do well in matters of military and he will do well in fighting Boko Haram.”
