Alamen001: I need clarification. Is this 'State of emergency' or 'Dusk to dawn Curfew'? Why are the Governors still in charge? Also, the States House Of Assembly.

You can consider this to be some form of Level 2 state of emergency.
What you are talking about can be considered a Level 3 state of emergency, which will be applied if the desired results of Level 2 are not achieved.

fork adict: Jona dey fear ni. That's the reason. Fear.

Kano and sokoto states are perhaps the most relevant of the northern states judging by history.

So our cowardly presido has anticipated the uproar of making such a move, so he just jejely chose Adamawa.

What a cowardly and Confused murraforker

And what did brave ex-soldier OBJ do when the same north introduced Sharia

Your president GEJ by your estimate is "cowardly & confused murraforker" because you and others who see him as such are even more of such qualifying adjectives.

Can you please tell us what your non-cowardly LGA boss and councillor have done for you lately?
Do you get locked up every last Saturday of the month for ENVIRONMENTAL sanitation that the LGA is already paid to do?
Just a very TINY example of why you are even more "cowardly & confused murraforker".

BTW, can we hear a political-ogist opinion on Kano being on or off the list. Political scientists and MILITARY STRATEGISTS are more likely to view things from a broader perspective than a criminologist who should be helping the POLICE deal with petty & big crimes. We are talking here about TERRORISTS who are rapidly getting territorial and need to be dealt with by the ARMED FORCES!

Messilo: How much is monthly salary?

Good question. I expect it should be based on the MINIMUM wage of N18k.
Good initiative overall as it involves people from the communities close to the raod.

I hope it will focus on clearing the gutters/ drains and cutting the grass ALL the time with spot/ random inspection with supervisors and various grades of superior cadres/ managers.
Way to Go, GEJ!

mapet: @ Anonim

1. The Late Barr. Segun Awolowo (Son of Late Papa Awolowo) studied abroad
2. Architect Muyiwa Ige (Current Commisioner in Osun State, and son of Chief Bola Ige) studied abroad.....

You miss my point entirely.
I have no problem where anyone, including Tinubu sends his kids for school.
I am only highlihting that the don who CURRENTLY holds sway over the SW has done VERY LITTLE for educating the masses which is the bedrock of meaningful, sustainable development. Millenium Schools you mentioned is simply a form of yoyo elitist project. Raising LASU fees by 1,000% is definitely a REGRESSIVE measure.

Tinubu and his follow follow followers like to claim he raised IGR and had a large population to deal with. You would expect he will embark on massive projects to refurbish, expand old primary (LGAs & LCDAs responsibility) and secondary (state responsibility) schools while building new ones to cater for the increased population. Won't you

The current education policy of 14 years of Tinubu & Fashola's continuous, unbroken "progressive" administration is producing and will continue to produce area boys and touts to make the SW compete with the north as per almajiris.

Why do we black people reflect our still primitive nature ever so often by reverting to unverifiable superstitions and BELIEFS
Do we not know of psychology, psychiatry and other behavourial studies that can ADEQUATELY explain most of the phenomenon that we are quick to attribute to "spiritual implication"

Let us not forget that Europe was just as hooked on superstitious witchcraft stories until the Age of Enlightenement/ Age of Reason that was fueled by the printing and increased availability of the Bible for ORDINARY people to read and come to their own understanding which allowed greater reflection and evolution in the natural sciences and other areas of education and human endeavour. Prior to that the priests held sway and gave whatever interpretation would help them continue their strangle hold on the conscience of the people with poverty so widespread in the midst of crass feudalism.

We need to start our own evolution as black people rather than stay stuck in these practices and beliefs that hinder our growth!

[quote author=tpia.]^like i said, you know of nothing besides oil, it seems.

well, if that works for you then kudos.[/quote]And there I was thinking you would prove my earlier assertion that you are one track simpleton seeking others like yourself.
Did I cut you too much slack
This wan wey you dey defend music study so much, abi na music you sef dey study for obodo oyinbo land?

[b]BTW, if our yoruba leaders REALLY mean their bravado talk about true FISCAL FEDERALISM let them renounce federal allocation from Niger Delta's oil wealth and rely on their much vaunted IGR and locally generated VAT. Then we will know they are not doing typical omo eko/yoruba shakara (empty bluffing). The massive achievemnts of Chief Jeremiah Obafemi Awolowo in just six years (1954-1960) as Western region premier some 60 years ago were done with only agricultural revenue WITHOUT federal aka Niger Delta oil revenue.

https://spurmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Late-Chief-Obafemi-Awolowo.jpg

Meanwhile it is good to note that the real progressives of Awolowo, Jakande, Bola Ige, Ambrose Alli etc focused on mass education leading to dominance of the SW plus Bendel state of the academics, civil service, parastatals and organised private sector (OPS) unlike the current crop of scammers masquerading as progressives who are nothing but AKOTILETAs (prodigal sons).[/b]

[quote author=tpia.]i guess you're one of those people who know of nothing besides oil.[/quote]You mean you actually know one-track, single minded simpletons like yourself
You go try go front small for see others like you, me I nor dey una group, you hear

Maybe you need to read up on what % of Nigeria revenue, forex earnings and GDP is from oil and then you come back here so we can discuss seriously.
Deal

fluteman: Enugu State governor just bought his daughter in law a range rover, for marrying his son who schooled in Coventry England, we didn't here a sound.

So how did you know if "we didn't hear a sound"
Abi you be winch?

BTW, the SE & SS people should be concerned how any state or LGA in Nigeria is spending government money since they are ALL largely financed from federal allocation from Niger Delta oil.
Hope you can understand that simple logic

lagerwhenindoubt: Who said this guy will be arrested if he ever stepped foot in America

Those are people who do not understand the American criminal law system.
Tinubu understands and opted to forfeit the proceeds of drug business in his account rather than have a long trial and judgement that will DEFINITELY tarnish his name. Nevertheless his name remains tarnished due to the forfeiture but no legal record will be kept of his guilt.

Sahara Reporters has obtained original copies of a judgement in the case of United States v Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the former governor of Lagos State, in which Bola Tinubu was charged (along with other defendants) in a case of massive drug trafficking and money laundering. This judgement directly relates to (and further documents) the September 16, 2008 "How U.S Federal Agents succesfully Linked Bola Tinubu to drug Trafficking Ring in Chicago" report by Sahara Reporters

Snippets of the case and subsequent judgement are presented below. The complete document (VERY LARGE pdf file - 4mb) can be downloaded at the end of this report.

The United States of America, by its attorney, Michael J. Shepard, United States Attorney for Northern District of Illinois, for its verified complaint of forfeiture, states as follows:

1. This is a FORFEITURE action under 21 U.S.C , ss88 and 18, ss 981,
2. The DEFENDANT funds are located in the above-described accounts and were SEIZED pursuant to PROCESS ISSUED BY THIS COURT,
,
4, beginning as early as 1998, Adegboyega Mueez Akande, WITH OTHERS OPERATED a organiszation (sic) which DISTRIBUTED WHITE HEROIN, a controlled substance under Title 21 of the United States Code.
5, this DISTRIBUTION OPERATION was conducted on a LARGE SCALE and the PROCEEDS of the operation SUBSTANTIAL. The defendant funds represent proceeds of this OPERATION of property involved in MONEY LAUNDERING.
6, the defendant funds represent proceeds of NARCOTICS TRAFFICKING , and , MONEY LAUNDERING, the funds are therefore FOREFEITABLE to the United States,

[size=13pt]JUDGEMENT:
j, Neither a claim nor answer has been filed on behalf of the defendant funds , accordingly, it hereby
ORDERED that the funds in the AMOUNT of $460,000 in account, in the name of BOLA TINUBU represents proceeds of NARCOTICS or were involved in financial transactions in violation of 18 U.S.C ss 1956 and 1957 and therefore these funds are forfeit to the United States,[/size]

That is the way of the superman don who can deal with the dumb-asses in PDP while enslaving and stealing from the MUGU-cious residents of Lagos and other SW states with propaganda fuelled cheap & cheerful performance.

Did Lateef Jakande not build recycling plants while he was governor of Lagos state over 30 years ago
I remember at least one such plant betwen RT Briscoe and Oshodi, close to the army barracks/school. That was before Ayatollah Buhari's coup and he was jailed with other UPN governors who were delivering to the masses while his fulani brother, president Shagari was allowed in house arrest.

An action UPN governor with less REAL budget per capita (annual budget divided by population and adjusted for inflation) did MUCH MORE than these latter day progressive PRETENDERS who depend on propaganda to continue hood winking their mugucious followers.

solomon111: Is tinubu not wanted in the US?

No.
The don settled the courts already for his drug money laundering complicity.
Smart dude.

[quote author=Happyness_Chima]Is it wrong that I mentioned UK? I even came back to clarify. She wants to ridicule me for no reason. If I knew how inconsiderate people can be, I won't open a topic like this.[/quote]You should not let the inconsiderate nature of SOME people here put you off. You should learn to separate the wheat from the chaff, in a manner of speaking.

I can understand where you are at. I see a few ladies in similar situation.
It is DIFFICULT but is NOT IMPOSSIBLE to find a man who will match your criteria. You are very comfortable and most men who are MORE comfortable than you are will MOST LIKELY be already married at 31+ as I assume you probably want someone older than you as with most Nigerian ladies.
You will have to determine what matters to you most and seek guys with promise and moral but who may "not be settled" yet. Any relationship and/or marriage is about compromise, give up something so the other party also gives up something and you make it work.

BTW, I have heard and seen ladies who determined to get married and/or just have a baby within one year achieve their goal by making the necessary compromise. And I must commend you for going out and getting involved in various activities but you may want to volunteer with charities and serious NGOs particularly dealing with kids rather than focusing on pentecostal churches where it is obvious most ladies are in the same situation and guys will come and pretend long enough to get them before showing their true colour.
I wish you luck.

First let me provide the bible passage asking parents to respect their children:

And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

[url=http://www.christnotes.org/bible.php?q=Ephesians+6%3A4&ver=kjv]Ephesians 6:4[/url]

I imagine that the koran may have a similar quote. And I am sure our traditions recognise when a child becomes an adult he should be allowed his freedom.

2tex: my dad wud always say: ''what i see while sitting u can't see even on d tree top''. its so true.

With all due respect to your dad and others like him, what he said is VERY WRONG DEPENDING on the subject being dealt with and how DIVERSE the experience and exposure of both are.
It is very NECESSARY to CONSIDER the opinion of adults but one is not bound by them and should not be COERCED and/or FORCED/HARRASSED/INTIMIDATED to follow their preference/choice.

For those who claim Western influence is responsible for children wanting to assert themselves, you should consider that it is part of the growth of HUMAN RIGHTS/CIVIL LIBERTIES that recognises the individual's equal right under the law of the relevant country.
We should be aware that it is the growth of such thoughts that made them abolish SLAVE TRADE even when the African traders who were selling their brethren wanted and even wrote to continue the "lucrative business."

BTW, no culture is static. It changes and evolves over time.

Could it be because those who promised to make Nigeria ungovernable if Jonathan or any other southerner won in 2011 have shifted their support for violence and anarchy to Boko Haram

Seun is definitely a very smart guy.
But then that should be obvious for a guy who has built an online forum that is addictive.
Way to go, our oga at the top!
BTW, any chance of you joining politics soon to run for LG councillor in your area
I go be your # 1 mobiliser.

Na wa for wayas oh!
It seems handling over 1m "handles" (not members is such a hassle with multiple, divergent opinions.
I wish Oga Seun the wisdom of Solomon and Suleiman combined. Or are they one and the same person

all4naija: The floating school in Makoko and other squalors must have contributed to the poor rating for Lagos.

Exactly.
Most people fail to ask themselves what % of Lagos METROPOLIS does Ikoyi, VI, Lekki make up- 5, 10, 20%
They forget Mafoluku, Oshodi, Akowonjo, Ketu, Isolo, Ejigbo, Alaba, Shomolu, Ajegunle, Ijora etc where roads, primary & secondary schools, primary health care centres are quasi non existent and/or are in a terrible state.

Even the "posh" areas you have to do BYOI- Bring Your Own Infrastructure of pipeborne water, electricity, security and pay excessive rent for the value/quality of life you get in return.

It is shameful that after 14 years of the "progressive opposition" being in POWER they are yet to fix the very BASIC services in the mega city of Lagos:

1,2,3,4 years of Tinubu
5,6,7,8 years of Tinubu
9,10,11,12 years of Fashola
13, 14 years of Fashola

But they sure know how to shout PDP failure at the federal level even while taking mega loans and humonguous IGR taxes from the people.

nep2ra: I agree with you mi lady. Your husband was a man of integrity, vision, focus and honor. May the much respected gentleman sleep in peace.

Are most of us suffering from sudden loss of memory or what
Integrity, vision, focus, honor for a man who protected Ibori from the law and ran Nuhu Ribadu out of town to please Ibori?
No wonder we have clueless leaders from the LGA, state to federal government.
Mugus Incorporated!!!

eggheaders: Remi Adekoya, a columist at the Guardian and politics editor of Warsaw Business journal. Here is his piece on the C-in-C Goodluck Jonathan's performance thus far. Honest and makes sense. Love it.


Still, his end-of-year report is not spotless. While the economy is booming, precious little wealth trickles down to the poor. Jonathan must be more energetic about changing that. The electricity supply is erratic, so businesses and individuals spend fortunes on generators and diesel. This in one of the world's biggest oil exporters. Things have improved since 2010, but far too tepidly: Jonathan only gets a C minus.

Infrastructure also remains a problem. Without a modern road network, doing business in Nigeria will remain prohibitively expensive and logistically challenging. Nigeria is a federation: individual states play a big role here. In the richer, well-governed states such as Lagos, where the commercial capital city is located, progress is visible. But Jonathan needs to do more to facilitate modernism in poorer states: he gets a C.

On healthcare, Jonathan gets an F. If a Nigerian gets cancer today and can't afford private treatment, he will die. Even obtaining aspirin in a public hospital can prove impossible.

Education is particularly problematic: tens of millions of Nigerians are illiterate. Most cannot afford an education: without government assistance, thus far feeble, they will remain intellectual invalids. Nigeria's rulers need to understand that a country is not respected because of the number of oil barrels it sells, but because of the quality of citizen it produces: F.

It will be interesting to [size=13pt]score state governors and LGA chairmen on these sectors based on their responsibility as spelt out in the 1999 constitution.
Substitute pipeborne water for electricity and you will see overall F10 even for the most "progressive" of the opposition.[/size]

CLUELESS leaders of even more clueless people.
Welcome to Nigeria- POTENTIALLY great country.

Balogun60: what one thing missing which is, the ladies part.

We are supposed to assume that only guys are players.
I thought what a man can do a woman can do better

coogar: this is very harsh!
how can you speak ill of the country that birthed you in such a crude manner. what had gross moral decadence gotta do with?

Harsh, yes but true.
And you don't resolve a matter by denying its existence or do you

What is Mallam Aliyu and other northerners like him waiting for
2015 is too far.
They can waka now as they threatened to do in July 1966 after butchering mostly Igbos in the counter coup and forcing the most senior army officer, a yoruba man to cede for Gowon to be HoS. Ayatollah Buhari played a prominent role in the cold blooded murder of his fellow Igbo officers.

kamdyjenny: My dear I knw wat it feel lyk my own project supervior was troublesome bt i was able to deal wit her problems. Now I cam imagine urs wen its now a male lecturer. Ur project determines ur grade nd ur grade ur furture. Try nd see if u can convice him to for u to pay wit cash(datz if u hv d moni to settle him) some will agreee to take 20k or 3ok.so if he agrees to take ur moni nd nt ur body den go ahead. If not if he is strong on sliping wit u my dear I advice u get condoms nd carry on. Projects alwayz comes wit the highest credit unit nd if u Bleep up ur gp will go down d drain. So put all dis in ur heart. Nd above all kip praying to God there is notin prayers can't change

This your post is really shocking to say the least. I guess it matters not if the man is an old he-goat with repulsive features & characteristics!
She should try to pay cash otherwise get ready to "slip" with the guy lecturer. Is this indicative of how you "dealt with the problems" of your lady project supervisor
Very shameful indeed.

@ OP,

Talk to your parents or those who sent you to school if you cannot follow any of the tips on setting up the guy or simply letting him know you are NOT AVAILABLE for any sex with him.
I am assuming you study AND pray very well.
Best of luck.

[quote author=Omo_Tier1]Yes it was ill advised simply because He failed to do what was right in the first instance!

It did not occur to you that GEJ's visit was planned WELL AHEAD of the hurried photo-op visit of the APC governors
They obviously succeeded in FOOLING their MUGU followers who lap up whatever falsehood they are served in the desperate PROPAGANDA devices of the fraudulent "progressives".

nijanigga: Nigerians like superstitious believes,what does his situation got to with his village? No wonder Nigeria is backward.
Here is a statement from Odia himself. Just goggle his name.
http://www.360nobs.com/2013/05/e-never-bad-reach-that-level-chidi-odiah-denies-being-a-taxi-driver-in-the-us/

Our superstitious nature just shows that we don't like to accept responsibility for our acts of commission or omission. If we succeed, na God; if we fail, na devil/village remote/witchcraft etc.
We are too lazy to carefully and deeply analyse how we got to where we find ourselves and take note of the necessary lesson from the experience.

BTW, his rebuttal is incomplete. He obviously is out of work as a footballer and has financial problems, which is not surprising based on the report of him spending recklessly with special plate number & paying extra for car wash in Enugu Rangers camp.
George Foreman, Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield are a few of the famous sportsmen who made millions and went broke at some point.
So nothing new IF Odiah is broke.

Dogohson: I wonder what some people gain by peddling false rumours and dainting innocent images. Nairalanders dey surprise me no be small. It beats me why you guys just jump into conclusion without verifying or questioning the authenticity of some thread. In the first place the thread bears no source. This is just one of Chika's old pix taken on set. [size=13pt]Who files for divorce still putting on the wedding ring?[/size]

I thought one is married UNTIL the divorce case is CONCLUDED.
Maybe I am just being a bit dull on Sunday morning, don't you think ?

Saghy: Chika if u get ur divorce next month will u marry againg?

Please tell us if/why she must marry again.
Must a woman be married in order to be successful and/or complete

Thanks to the NL resident Encyclopaedia for providing relevant info to correct the wrong impression created by (interested ) persons on this forum.

I guess I should re-post my comment on another thread here:

Money may get you the girl BUT may not keep her for you if you don't have most of the other qualities listed or other issues that she likes.
Except she is a slave whom when you ask to jump will simply respond how high! Not sure many men want such ladies in the long run.

Why do you think there are gigolos (toy boys) servicing sugar mummies in Abuja, Lagos, Warri, PH, Kaduna and other big cities

Moreover if you misbehave she can sue you for divorce and get a sizeable chunk of your money and seek QUALITY guys.
So money is simply a very good and useful accessory.

https://www.nairaland.com/1277094/things-turn-girls/1#15536067

Guys & gals, take note.
Meanwhile I wish Chika success in her divorce case and hope she gets a very good settlement plus her LIBERTY.

baynix: I can speak for ma hometown buildings built by the previous administration. The walls are already cracking, the ceilings are gone, the windows are now been replaced with block.. leaving the other parts open. The floors are pretty bad!

I doubt if Fatima College and Ayedaade Grammar School were "built by the previous administration".
Were they?
Those are just two examples. I am sure there are other primary & secondary schools existing in Ikire before Oyinlola. Can we agree on that
Moreover Aregbesola can demolish and rebuild PROPERLY what Oyinlola built in a bad way.
Fashola is doing that to SOME EXTENT with the old Jakande schools.

Being a progressive should not exclude analysing and examining ALL government activities to ascertain if it is the best value for money and priority among various competing needs of the people whom the leader is elected to SERVE.
That is how I see it, my friend.

^^^
You see why I said Aregberascal is a CLUELESS man?
How many primary & secondary schools are in your hometown, Ikire- 15, 20 or more?
[size=13pt]What is the condition of the buildings in ALL these schools and their pipeborne water supply, toilets, furniture, equipment, materials etc?[/size]

Why can't the Ogbeni MAINTAIN those schools to a commendable standard instead of building some SENSELESS mega school

If it is any consolation to you, be rest assured that your idol is not alone in this CLUELESS habit that they see as a way to hoodwink the tax-paying public as they steal their money through bogus MEGA CAPITAL BUDGET contracts.
Now you see the 419

Christians who are supposed to endeavour to live like Jesus Christ are daily being led astray towards the practices of the Pharisees who abandoned the laws of the God of Israel and made their own laws of men for their fellow Jews to follow.

And it is simply for the purpose of doing what MOST religious leaders have done since the beginning of time:
- Make new laws that are increasingly difficult to respect so that when you transgress such laws (which they will label sin) you fell guilty & become obliged to turn to the religious leaders to INTERCEED for you with your own God.
This ensures the religious leaders continue in busines. Because business is what it is. Christ sure knew how to expose the charlattans then for what they were, daily criticising them until they planned to kill him.

Go through your Bible yourself and find out if what is being proposed here accords with what Christ and his apostles said and practised.
Happy Sunday.

romanlaw: Obviously most people defending this inhumane act are yorubas, as we are used to them dfending Tinubu, Fashola, Lagos State even when glaring that they guffed. 'V got a girl that work in Glo and for ages she have bin singing how Arogant and proud this Adenuga of a man is. I think that just the difference between him and Dangote . Dangote is very humble and down to earth.

Must you descend so low by going TRIBAL on this issue without knowing the people making comments?
Must you always believe everyone is like you are, an ethnic BIGOT ready to display his badge at the slightest opportunity?

Was your girl obliged to work in Glo "for ages"? Probably because she did not have ENOUGH SKILLS to move on despite the "arrogance & pride" of Adenuga.

[size=13pt]LESSON LEARNT:
It is necessary to understand what someone wants BEFORE you embark on doing something for him that will land you in trouble rather than praise!!![/size]

Dangote is who he is and Adenuga is who he is.
Why must you expect everyone to be the same? How boring life would be!
That is why you are expecting everyone to be an ETHNIC BIGOT just like you, right
