Pavore9:
I share your line of thought regarding education over legislation. l remember while growing up in Lagos, my younger brother while in primary school had a classmate who is from Sokoto. The school, Maryland Convent Private School, Maryland is run by Reverend Sisters and one thing so exceptional about this classmate of his is that his father was then a Mai-guard in Mende and his mother hawked Kunu around Mende, Anthony and the Northerners' enclave near Ojota new garage.

How his classmate's parents managed and remain convinced all through the eight years he spent there to pay his school fees was baffling when there were alternatives in form of 3 public primary schools within the Maryland complex.

His classmate (Mohammed) finished from the school very confident with his tenses like every of his classmate and exposed. Today, someone like Mohammed though still observing his faith can not give his daughter out in Marriage at 14.

Education is very key in addressing the situation. When parents become conscious that their daughters can become nurses, doctors as it applies their society is more comfortable with female medical personnel attending to their female folks.

Yes, he is a speakership material.

Pavore9:
Even at that. Why do the today's Northern's elite not see it as an obligation to gradually steer their people away from that path? ls the recycling of poverty and VVF not enough reason to do away with child marriage or should we wait for some hundreds of years?

Ralphlauren:
GMB keeps getting lots of attention and to think that he has not been sworn in yet.

Pavore9:
Personally, l often wonder why Northern elites who insists on the status quo don't give out their daughters in marriage at such tender age, go through the profiles of their daughters when getting married they are already graduates. Have you read anywhere the Paedophile called Senator Yerima giving out his 14 year old daughter out in marriage?

We can't have a national identity with these retrogressive minds in the mix, who are very comfortable with the cycle of backwardness, keep up popping out children that will become rich fishing pond for the likes of Boko Haram. l sometimes wonder how a religion can stagnate one's mind!

Pavore9:
l hope you followed it when it was a raging issue at the Senate and the opposition of it by Northern lawmakers.

Pavore9:
When most Northerners see 14yrs old girls as over-ripe for marriage?

EagleScribes:
Don't blame them bro. Over there, they have better facilities and environment to work with. Many of our past heroes have been used and dumped.

See His comments below. Most especially that Nigerian workers should earn more than European workers if we must pay our legislators more than European legislators.

All the comments are wonderful in their ways.

Hmmm, I think Tinubu just paid him back the money Aregbe spent on APC presidential campaign..

That's the money Aregbe was throwing from the top of a bus in Lagos state back then..

What am about to gist you is gotten from my mum's friend who is politically active and belong to labour party a card carrying members for that matter

She visited my mum today around 12 cause my mum and other civil servants in osun state now go to work when they can (when tfare dey hand, and they want to ) I knw you knw why
She said she and other labour party was in a meeting yesterday there part of what they were told that are

1)Buahri has met with GEJ where he requested to know the true state of FG and osun govt, there GEJ told buahri he owns us no kobo, the only money he hasn't paid are the FG roads aregbe built but aregbe refuse to solicit for approval in which terms such as the distance of the project(s), the width, the acceptable cost of the project(s) etc which automatically means that FG don't have knowledge of the FG projects he did

2)with buahri reluctance to show him the way out, he met with his role model (TINUBU) and Tinubu gave(borrowed) him money enough to pay 3months (both pensioners, civil servants nd others)

3)she said and I quote "as I am telling you kabiru has been arrested with the money"


As I am writing this over 3 of my friends has either text or call to tell me this same story

And so far, all these "projects" only exist as 3D models for 8 fvcking years of his administration, yet this same Ogundamisi praises him. Who does this ugly imp think he's calling out for hypocrisy?
Is he done calling out Bukola Saraki the chief destroyer of Kwara State who has turned the area into his family property?

Is he done calling out his masters Tinubu and Fashola for this multi-billion naira Sunborn scam?

This dumb, ugly Twitter imp needs to go look for someone else to fool with his stupidity please.

Isn't it just funny that these APC hungry rats can praise Tinubu for opening his smelly mouth to say he's against corruption, but when someone from outside their party echoes the same thoughts, you see them up in arms like hormonal middle-aged virgins, trying to shout the person down?

YOUR Femi Gbajabiamila was on Channels TV last month trying to justify the jumbo Package received by Lawmakers, yet you douche nozzles keep screaming change. How convenient.
Please, look for some other political personality to pick on, because this current tactic is dead on arrival.

And by the way, this is Ben Bruce during the Fuel Subsidy debate, talling about the need to cut down the jumbo pay of the lawmakers.
This is as early as 2011, so this belief didn't just start today.

I'll take that over a bunch of strange bedfellows chanting "Change".

The man spoke the truth frankly. However, his past deeds can be revisited. We will collect his ideas and echo them to GMB while he cools off at Potiskum prison if found guilty of corruption. Shikena

Life is a mystery.

Just the thought that Dan Amokachie, Victor Ikpeba and John Fashanu used to "ball" like this.

Then you think about it...the one paying his salary may not be "balling" like this.

Nepa has somefin to do with IT

Tinubu’s ENRON: During Bola Tinubu’s administration,the governor was able to pressurise the federal government into approving the take-off of the multi-million project by ENRON International Energy Corporation.
Tinubu had boasted that “before long, Lagosians will have at least 270 Megawatts dedicated to Lagos State in addition to the Statutory allocation from NEPA that will make sure that at any given time, between 80 per cent to 90 percent of our electricity problems are solved.” “Now with the take-off of ENRON, Lagos State stands to benefit from this project,” Tinubu noted.
Perhaps Tinubu’s dream is becoming a reality. The Tinubu administration did all that was humanly possible in order to achieve the ENRON breakthrough while the deliberations with the federal government lasted. Tinubu then asserted: “What we have achieved now is our own big giant step in the moon.”

He explained that the reason why he has been [size=15pt]excited by this breakthrough[/size] lies in the fact that “we made a promise to the electorates in Lagos State that ours is a commitment to the infrastructural development that will lead to economic growth, poverty alleviation, independence of small scale industries, where research and development, and the hopes and aspirations of big and small professionals will flourish. This is the beginning of that joy and we are going to achieve it.”

Lagos IPP: However, the Lagos State government has tried to take the bull by the horns in solving the power problem. The commencement and installations of power plants in strategic places across the state has gone a long way in reducing the epileptic power problem.

The Deplorable Conditions In Epe General Hospital
Nov 30, 2013

I don't know a better place to put this but I have to ask myself, is this a hospital owned managed and financed by the state government?

Let me narrate my story to better explain the situation.
I brought my 75 years old mum for diabetes and hypertension treatment on Wednesday. Afte1 the normal formalties of regisration and payment of ward fee, she was admitted around 6:30pm (we actually arrived 2:30pm).

When she was placed on bed, the first thing I noticed was the mosquito net. I tell you, this net must have been there over 6 months unwashed! This didn't bother me much as I hoped there will be light and as a result fan will work which will prevent mosquito. But after about 20 minutes, I started feeling heat (me that is healthy oo).

I kept mute because I don't want to be observed. After about 10 additional minutes, (this was around 7pm) my mum said she was feeling heat as well. Won't there be light was the taught that came to my mind and soonest light came. Thank God. But guess what? This was PHCN light, it was Inverter so we can't use fan, only to see ourselves with the light.

By this time, mosquito has been doing their work seriously. "Is this how we will be till morning", I thought. After few minutes, i heard the sound of generator and additional light came up. I was happy and joyous. I went to fan regulator, but was shocked to see that the fan wasn't working! I tried it again and again, turned it 360 degree yet, it didn't work! Oh my God! What's this! I went to other regulators, I swear by God, in the whole ward, only 2 fans was working and infact it was just one, a visitor made extra effort to make the 2nd work.

Is Epe General Hospital not part of Lagos State owned hospital? The story didn't end there, not long after that the generator was switched off! The situation can't be explained. I felt pity not for myself but for my mum and other patients in Ward 2. How will a patient be in heat? How will they sleep with these mosquitoes? How will they use this net that is smelly? How this how more was running in my mind. Then I asked myself "is this a general hospital owned, managed and financed By Lagos State? May God help us.

Honestly speaking, in terms of treatment, they are very good. I can changes not only in my mum but also in other patients. But what about facilities?

Which is also as important as treatment. I can't use the toilet. Though its clean and okay but as for, i can't use it. This is what I have been seeing here at Epe General Hospital in the last 3 days.

I hope this will be on front page maybe it will be read by necessary dignitries.

Foul odour emanating from a decomposing corpse at the Accident and Emergency Clinic, Orile-Agege General Hospital, Lagos, on Monday, prevented medical workers from attending to patients at the clinic and wards attached to it.

guideman:
They are all hypocrites. GMB had absented himself from this meeting all the while. Why is he attending now, when he had flagrantly refused to join hands and rebuild Nigeria. Yet some dumbs call him elder statesman. What a pity to a nation called Nigeria. Unfortunately it's only selfish leaders we've had since independence. They are never heroes or role models.

Btruth:
Baba Obasanjo was like "I told you that I will see your end, and I've seen your end now, that was why I attended this meeting to let you know".

The task to oust Jonathan has been accomplished, that's the reason Obasanjo was present. He only went there to mock Jonathan (the outgoing President). Immediately Jonathan steps out of Aso Rock, Obasanjo would be more respected than him because he completed his two terms while Jonah was ousted. Difference dey!!!
