Teewhy2: The say cleanliness is next to holiness, am disappointed in the government of the state, how will a father say because his child didn't do his will, he will allow the child to live in a dumb site.
Let me point out that refuse collection is the work of the LGAs. All the state agencies doing this work are doing so because of the IDLENESS of the governors and our own nonchalance about what goes on in the LGAs.

WHOcarex: The Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, was in Adamawa to inspect the plot of land allocated to him by the State Government to build a secondary school for the internally displaced children.
“This is a clarion call to all Nigerians now to think about the displaced persons in our society and those who are disadvantaged from going to school.
“Most great men of the world are people from poor homes and nations that have neglected their poor ones are nations not willing to grow because there are more wisdom in the families that do not have than the families that have plenty.
“Let us not forget these poor ones because we do not know who is going to find solution to HIV, the hunger in the world or who is going to redeem Africa,” he said.
While Governor Okorocha plans to build a school for the children and the less privileged in the state, the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, NAFDAC, has also donated drugs to the IDPs in Yola.
The agency’s representative explained that they were aware of the possibility of health challenges setting in at the camps and felt that it was important to make such precautionary move.
Both governors of Imo and Adamawa have asked other Nigerians to assist in rebuilding the state.
According to the Internally Displaced Monitoring Centre, Nigeria has the highest number of Internally Displaced Persons in Africa, totaling about 3.3 million.
Over 2.3 million have been displaced in the northeast, including over 1.4 million children.
How can you talk like this about THE true Igbo leader. The ONLY one who has shaken Obama's hand? And bought a N600 million Chrsitmas tree to celebrate it. Nna, bros, abeg take ya time oh.
The Enabling Act (German: Ermächtigungsgesetz) was a 1933 Weimar Constitution amendment that gave the German Cabinet – in effect, Chancellor Adolf Hitler – the power to enact laws without the involvement of the Reichstag. It passed in both the Reichstag and Reichsrat on 24 March 1933, and was signed by President Paul von Hindenburg later that day. The act stated that it was to last four years unless renewed by the Reichstag, which occurred twice. The Enabling Act gave Hitler plenary powers. It followed on the heels of the Reichstag Fire Decree, which abolished most civil liberties and transferred state powers to the Reich government. The combined effect of the two laws was to transform Hitler's government into a de facto legal dictatorship.
The formal name of the Enabling Act was Gesetz zur Behebung der Not von Volk und Reich ("Law to Remedy the Distress of People and Reich". It was enacted by the Reichstag (meeting at the Kroll Opera House), where non-Nazi members were surrounded and threatened by members of SA and SS. The Communists had already been repressed and were not able to vote, and some Social Democrats were kept away as well. In the end, nearly all of those present voted for the act, except for the Social Democrats, who voted against it.
Ize-Iyamu was defeated fairly in a credible election.
If votes are re-counted, I'm sure Iyamu's vote count will not be up to what was recorded for him.
So the votes were NOT counted initially? The master riggers of the Association of ProgreTHIEF Criminals, APC were simply recording votes as they liked. Interesting!!! Were you involved in this recording (awarding) of votes to each candidates WITHOUT regard for the actual votes cast
Uploaded on Oct 30, 2011 This is a mobile phone video of the announcement of PDP as winners of the Badagry Central Local Government Elections with over 7000 votes. LASIEC Chairman, Justice Adeyinka later announced a different result. The lady speaking in the video is the LASIEC Returning Officer for Badagry Central on Saturday 22nd October, 2011.
Ondo and Ekiti states conduct their LG before Ogun and PDP claim all the chairmanship seats likewise 99.9% of councillorship seats , what can you say about that?
Nothing to say about that beyond the highlighted. Let me also add that all this rigging etc is possible because WE do not bother about our local politics. Meanwhile these LGA officials are the enablers of the elections that produce the president etc. Not so
keepingmum: Raising a child is not beans and NOBODY owes you nada!!. Your mum has done all she can for u and whatever else she chooses to do is a bonus not an entitlement.
Finally, learn to have protected sezz. A condom/contraceptive is cheaper than a pack of pampers.
fingard02k: As announced by the Ogun State Independent National Electoral Commission (OGSIEC), APC won all the 57 chairmanship seats in the election into 20 local government areas.
Typical rigging by the Association of ProgreTHIEF Criminals, APC from time immemorial. Can one imagine if all 36 states were always won by PDP when they organised elections with INEC

spartacus11: Michelle Obama hugs former President George W. Bush at the National Museum of African American History and Culture
will PMB wife be able to do this some day hugging GEJ? it will be lovely i guess and this can pass a good message between the North and South, it can heal some wounds you know
Do you want Aisha Halliburton to be banned by Kannywood, Shiites and Sunnis plus all their Ayatollah mullahs in the north ni
Naijahotloaded: A ban that was placed on Kannywood actress, Rahama Sadau for her role in a music video is ‘logical’, according to her colleague, Ali Nuhu.
Though several Nollywood practitioners have come to Rahama’s defence, Nuhu said that the Motion Pictures Practitioners Association of Nigeria (MOPPAN) was justified for taking an action against the Hausa actress.
‘I think that the ban is logical. She belongs to Kannywood, started her career in Kannywood and has violated the ethics and code of conduct of Kannywood by holding hands and falling on the guy’s back,’ he said in an interview with Daily Trust.’ Nuhu however expressed that the punishment was extreme, as a suspension for the Hausa actress would have been adequate.
‘I don’t think she should be banned. Maybe a suspension. There are situations where people create big things out of small ones. That is why before deciding to do something, one needs to think. I would advise that in future when things like this happen, they deliberate amongst themselves and maybe call in a few others in the industry before making it public. People do things in an organization and are suspended or given queries. But these organizations won’t go to the media to announce it. It was blown out of proportion.’
Nuhu, who has been involved in suggestive scenes in some Nollywood films, also said he has been able to escape the association’s ban because the code of conduct became active recently.
‘About photographs of me in scenes with females, those are from Nollywood movies, many years old, and this code came into light recently, so people shouldn’t think MOPPAN is being selective.’
Rahama has since tendered an apology for her conduct.
naijaboy756: happy recession. PMB the divine recessionist. Back to Back
Na real back to back oh bro. The guy just dey carry BADLUCK for head like signboard. Only sey their zombies were blinded by change chain chants to see the bad omen written all over his old tired face!!!
sarrki: The Greatest politician in the SE can't go mad
He's the best among his peers
God bless Owelle
Yes na. Because he shook Obama's hand. Then bought N600 million Christmas tree to celebrate it while the state remained a hell hole for the inhabitants who voted him to power. Greatest indeed.
kings09: I agree wit u totally but for dat sarrki to say rochas is d best among his peers somehow makes 1 ask how much diz guyz r bn paid to defend diz rogues even wen they n their families r wallowing in hunger
He is just a typical Nigerian who claims to be smart when in fact he is very stupid.
having a free playing field in our country since our Olopas are busy doing house boy, house girl work for our acting big men and women. No Olopa to do the necessary policing work to keep crimes low in our communities. When shall we become smart people of this country
spartacus11: i pray today, my your spouse abandon u and run away from u, and wen u cry out ur family and friends will tell u he or she has a free will, may he or she park into ur neighbors house. ise
I simply asked you a question. You are yet to answer!!! You don't need to pray or curse me for that except you want all of what you have said to come to pass in YOUR life.
kings09: U mean he z better dan Ambode? R u okay @ all? Ambode is seriously making giant strides n u r here defending a govt dats punishing its ppl in Imo state. Sarrki if u don't knw wat to say jst kip kwayet.
NB : am nt an APC fan nor buhari's
They are all same same rogues whom we allow to loot and rob us blind. Ambode's "giant strides" are all paparazzi propaganda work that LGAs should do ordinarily and he has huge:
- allocation - ECA share - loans - IGR
to cover up all the looting that he and his Association of ProgreTHIEF Criminals, APC predecessors i.e. Tinubu & Fashola have done for 17 and half years.

Which law criminalises the mere possession of money as well as the failure or wilful refusal to explain the source of such money. Also, which law makes it compulsory for a person to "explain" the source of his money held in his own house to law enforcement agencies. And which law empowers law enforcement agencies to charge a person to court for the 'offense' of refusing to explain the source of his wealth.
Specific laws with relevant sections/subsections please. Thank you in advance.
Let us wait for him to justify the dictatorial gestapo-style oppressor who is our public SERVANT in Aso Rock.

mapet: 1. First off, you lie shamelessly. Buhari was NEVER in court for certificate forgery.
Not quite so, bro.
105africa: The Honorable Justice Ademola Adeniyi sitting at the Federal High Court 7, Abuja on Thursday 26th, May 2016 dismissed the Preliminary Objections filed by President Muhammadu Buhari in the case instituted against him, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Suit No. FHC/ABJ/CS/110/2015 by an Abuja based Legal Practitioner, Barr. Nnamdi Nwokocha-Ahaaiwe challenging his competence to stand election into the office of President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria when he lacks the basic educational qualifications set out in the Constitution.
The development has reportedly thrown the Nigerian presidency into disquiet as President Buhari and his handlers greeted the ruling with shock, as very few Nigerians including members of Buhari’s government realized the case was still in court.
According to an informed source on the development, the ruling has caught the Buhari presidency unawares and has posed a big distraction for government activities at the Villa. “Nobody even knew the case was still on. The story was not even reported in the mainstream media. No paper carried the Thursday ruling. But I can tell you the Presidency is rattled and seriously hoping that the case does not resurface again in the public domain because of the huge embarrassment it could cause the President. But more importantly, there are concerns about the safety of the judge and the plaintiff”, the source disclosed.
Recall that in February 2015, Nnamdi Nwokocha-Ahaaiwe, Esq. filed an Originating Summons at the Federal High Court, Abuja praying the Court to among others declare that Buhari is unqualified to aspire to the position of President not having sat for the Secondary School Certificate and also deposing to a false affidavit about his educational qualifications contrary to the Electoral Act. read more here: http://www.105africa.net/breaking-court-throws-buharis-application-fake-certificate/

hydoo: Mumu!!!! Is abacha daughter product of kannywood
Is Kannywood not upholding ethics of the religious north of which Abacha's daughter and Sanusi are role models? Are the religious ethics applied against her not applicable for these RICH, powerful people in the north? If they are not applicable, why are they not applicable I hope that you can answer. Thanks.
