Well, it doesn't take much imagination to see that a country where u can obtain FOUR DIPLOMATIC passports you can also obtain bvn's. You get it now?
Or is it still confusing to u?

Or maybe we should think outside the box. Like scrapping the whole Nigeria thing and replacing it with units most members would be proud of, and patriotic about.

The Governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Tambuwal, has said the 19 northern states of Nigeria are not afraid of the proposed restructuring of Nigeria.

Mr. Tambuwal stated this on Monday in Jos, Plateau State, at the annual Law Week and memorial lecture by the Nigerian Bar Association, Jos Branch for Justice Dauda Azaki, who died 20 years ago.

The statement came after a remark by his Borno State counterpart, Mr. Shettima, dismissing the clamour for restructuring elicited widespread condemnation especially from eminent southern Nigerians and groups from the southern half of the country.

“I can confidently say here that we in the northern part of Nigeria are not afraid of restructuring,” Mr. Tambuwal said.
The Sokoto governor, who is a former Speaker of the House of Representatives, said contrary to insinuations that northern Nigerians were opposed to restructuring of Nigeria, saying those saying so were merely raising a false alarm.

Governor Tambuwal stressed that northerners were not afraid of the economic implications of restructuring, stating that most states in the north have enough mineral deposits to be self-sustaining.

He added that Nigerians from all parts of the country desire true federalism.

Speaking in the same vein, the Governor of Bauchi State, Mohammed Abubakar, said restructuring is a welcome development as long as the proposed restructuring will not ignite rancour in the country.

Mr. Abubakar urged that Nigerians to be properly educated on the issue to allay fears among some of them.
On his part, Plateau State Governor, Simon Lalong, also called for caution on the issue.

Mr. Lalong said the agitation for restructuring almost caused the country another round of unrest.

“A misunderstanding of the concept of restructuring among the younger generation has also undoubtedly given rise in some quarters to the provocative and inciting calls for seccession and the dissolution of the Nigerian state,” he said.

Governor Lalong said while he supported the policy of restructuring, he however lamented that some of the agitations for restructuring had veered into hate speeches.

Returning to the topic of Monday’s event, Mr. Tambuwal admonished Nigerian judges and lawyers to adjudicate speedily on cases to avoid prolonging stay of persons awaiting trial in prisons

Earlier, chairman of the Jos branch of the NBA, Ralph Monye, criticised the prosecution of some judges in Abuja for alleged corrupt practices.

“I had strongly condemned that despicable act and in solidarity with their Lordships, I had predicted that the Judiciary, which seemed at that time to be under intense fire would surely come out unscathed. The dust has since settled and mist of the judges have since resumed in their places of primary assignments.”

Mr. Monye said practitioners of other professions were not being questioned for doing wrong, and call for the prosecution of some security operatives for inhuman treatment of citizens.

“The DSS (State Security Service) is still one of the security outfits in Nigeria with no one calling for its disbandment,” he said.

The theme of the 2017 Law Week of the association was: “Restructuring: A Panacea for Nigeria’s Development and Cohesion.”

Buhari said: "In a raid conducted by security agents on the resident of a Federal High Court judge recently, they found in his possession four diplomatic passports, huge amount of hard currency and other incriminating documents bordering on economic crime, and these are the same people empowered by constitution to dispense justice on saboteurs.''

trillville:

How can a person have multiple BVNs? It works with our finger prints, doesn't it? Hmm, I'll ask my banker friends about this.

9jaDoc:
(I actually think it should be "Most times..." not "Sometimes..."

But Trump had to pardon him. In 9ja the case will likely never be brought or simply disappear

See, the thing is that 9ja is not progressing towards eradication of any ills. In all the examples u gave there was a clear path of gradual progress. In 9ja folks are more corrupt today than they were yesterday and in almost all aspects there is gradual deterioration not improvement

seguno2:
The government is owned by the people.
The politicians who run the government won’t easily empower nobody.
So what do you suggest as the way for the people to reclaim effective ownership of their own government

AishaBuhari:
Hmm! Let them go and bomb Aso Rock! The North created the monster and now they're afraid of the monster they created!

raker300:
Op, are you panicking?
I thought they’re not terrorist but hard working Nigerians

9jaDoc:
The problem is that you just sort of KNOW that's not possible in 9ja. See below.

STARGREEN:
I still have the feelings that he's yet to understand his job role. Your country is facing imaginary fuel scarcity that is capable of affecting the already affected economy he prefer to be on Air that he can delicate?
All the promises made to Nigerians... almost ended unfulfilled and the statement of being surprised that PDP wants to take over tend to deflate hopes and aspirations as it seems you don't understand the realities yet. Of course how would you when you are mostly on Air?
Unless maybe he has no input to make to end the harsh economy and as such find solace flying.
Well, solution shall come 2019 by the grace of God.

figment232:
Useless President

9jaDoc:
In view if all the ills listed that are largely unobtainable in US don't u think it is better to chill in US till 9ja sorts itself out, assuming it ever will.

9jaDoc:
On a side note do u think someone with a masters and $50,000 should relocate to Nigeria or stay in US?

positivetaught:
personally n I know many others wished for pdp to get it right with this convention to stand a solid chance against APC in 2019, but as it turn out I think the chance may be there but not so solid now.
APC has got NW,PDP has got SS n more of SE,with a NE presidential candidate PDP would stand a good chance in NE,NC would also be a fertile ground, therefore with a SW chairman PDP would have gotten a good chance in the SW too. but now except by miracle the SW is likely to abandoned PDP giving APC a field day there, this will accentuate the confusion n doubts in NC n NE giving the APC the free way to muscle into those zones, frankly I doubt much if the PDP can really stand the APC with this SS chairmanship starting with ekiti elections next year.or what do you think?.

And what did they leave behind after 16 years?
1. Depleted foreign reserves - $25bn despite earning hundreds of billion dollars from crude oil.

SillyMods:
PMB we know.

Why should it? Anyone who has decided to give tithe to God works with God directly as their provider and King and a King deserves their treaty. If God is good to you and you choose to recognize His goodness by paying tithe, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. If you don't trust your priest, it is not exactly your right to judge them as still as you are still going to their church. Else, then you may secretly know in your heart that you are in the wrong place but have refused to make the right decision due to fear and social attachments/concerns.

Deuteronomy 14:22-26 King James Version (KJV)

22 Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year.

23 And thou shalt eat before the Lord thy God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear the Lord thy God always.

24 And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it; or if the place be too far from thee, which the Lord thy God shall choose to set his name there, when the Lord thy God hath blessed thee:

25 Then shalt thou turn it into money, and bind up the money in thine hand, and shalt go unto the place which the Lord thy God shall choose:

26 And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat there before the Lord thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household,

Nigeria Today...
when a pastor needs a car,
they raise 6million...
but when a member need money for surgery,
they raise prayer..
May God Heal Our Land.

uyplus:
How does giving to a pastor equate to giving to God please? If you want to give to God, reach out to the least of his brothers. That's he commanded us to do. He said whatsoever you do to the least of my brother's, that you do unto me. It's only if you wanna take Jesus out of the God head, then giving to the down trodden won't equate to giving to God.

I stopped paying tithes ever since I read Deuteronomy 14 22 to 29.

dust144:
Where is money to pay the tithe? Is well.

WackyJ1:
Who is the blind man?

Exactly my point! A lot of people pay tithe based in personal conviction it would take more than just a light skinned man quoting a couple of scriptures to change their minds.
