Where is MUSIWA when you need him!

Abeg, do you still propose Ikorodu as capital of New Benin Republic?
If yes, make I begin find land to buy there o.

mrmetoo1:
What Now I'm confused. You said maybe I wasn't born during the regime, I said I was but I was very young so I don't remember. All I said was I asked those who remember to know if it was a horrible period for them and they said NO. I mean is that hard to understand? Who should I have gotten answers from if not from those who lived during the regime? How does it mean they're the ones influencing my decision right now?

Then I don't even understand why you're listing all those parties. Why is your journalist standing for a libel case. I said prove your allegations, you're talking about some journalist that can stand a libel case

.

Ok. I understand. You see, many also tell their kids how great Sanni Abacha was, how the Naira was stable under him.
You can get subjective opinions from parents, grandmother, uncles and so on. But you can read wide as an educated person.

Now, I listed those parties to show the belief of many elderly people, which in turns influences young people. They think APC represents the progressive principles of Awo's AG. Hence the way my dad & many others joined AG and continued faithfully.

But it's sickening to mention Buhari as having anything to do with Pa Awo's priciples & political ideals.

What we have, is a few selfish SW leaders led by Tinubu, bastardising possibly the best & most progressive ideas of the last 100 years in Africa. Awo's progressive ideas that brought free education, a boost in Agriculture like Cocoa, palm, rubber, Broadcasting, education, infrastructure, you name it. A first in Africa in many respects.

No medics to administer first aid?



God have mercy on their souls



We are too quick to pronounced people dead in this country

.

My brother I tire, with gud first aid, quick resuscitation and emergency surgery to evacuate internal bleeding and drip/blood given, some of those quickly declared dead by common road users might just survive.

We regularly manage to keep some alive here in the West, some with horrible injuries.

mrmetoo1:
I was born but I was a child then so yes you're right I can't remember his regime. My parents were born however and knew very well what was going on. I've asked them several times about it and they have said there was nothing wrong with his regime. My parents were not beneficiaries of his government so lets not go there. My mom said he tried to instill discipline which she commends in for. So different people had different experiences. If his regime was that horrible then it'll be safe to assume that people above a certain age won't vote for him but we all know thats not true.

Again you don't parrot talking points but here we come again with the $2.8B, please provide the proof because you sound very sure that he stole it. We thank God Shagari is still alive, perhaps you can get your reporter friend to arrange an interview with Shagari so that he does a "tell all" Lets deal with proven facts and not hear say. If I begin to talk about alleged crimes committed, no amount of paper in the world will be enough to fill it. Rumors are out there about how much Patience and GEJ stole during their time in Bayelsa but you won't ever hear me use that against them because it has never been proven. They weren't arrested yet, so I can't say without a doubt that its true or false.

I hate talking about the railways. Maybe tell me where you live first then we can start a discussion on the railways. Then again this thread wasn't about Jonathan's achievements, you keep slipping back to the PDP advertised achievements (mp3 achievements as they're also called)

.

Hahaha, my father said, my mother said. Not your own judgement or experience.
My father is an APC chieftain in my area. But that doesn't becloud my judgement. He began as Action Group party agent and rose through UPN. Then AD, ACN and APC. Mixing with APC senators, honorables, one or two Governors during things like wedding in the family is not unusual.

Still I base my judgement on my unique experience, not coloured by any party affiliantion. Not based on my elderly dad's political ideals that may not be for the 21st century.

Well, I do not condone corruption, if you have genuine sources of information (I had an experienced investigative journalist in GMB's regime) that can stand a libel case, you're free to use it against anyone.

Herzumpther:
Beautiful Lady.

.
Sure, still eating from her father's stolen 2.8 billion as oil minister. Money they moved from Midland Bank.

Finally deservedly on fp.

ok

mrmetoo1:
You're not supporting any political campaign, you detest people parroting each other and yet you're spewing the same exact talking point every PDP members spews.

We're here talking about Lagos state and the the liberation crusade, you're listing advertised achievements as usual. You're talking OBJ and others, what does that have to do with what we were talking about. You just went into the typical GEJ supporter default mode

If you admit Fashola is a decent man so what is this liberation that you were trying to justify earlier? What it just means is no matter how much Tinubu is involved in the general affairs of the state, Fashola still has a freehand to achieve all he did. So my question again, where's the liberation talk coming from?

The same talking point is "Fashola is there, why Buhari" I'm not a member of APC, what I mean is I've never registered as any party member or attended any party meetings but I was one of those clamoring for Buhari. I would have loved to see a Buhari/Fashola ticket but people killed it because of the muslim/muslim thing. I wanted Buhari because of his stance on corruption, lies and character assassination aside, Buhari has always been know as someone that has a low tolerance for corruption. Corruption, to me, is our number one problem in Nigeria. Almost every problem can be traced back to corruption. When money meant for developing a nation is diverted into the accounts of few individuals then Nigeria will never live up to her potential. The reason I agree Buhari should be number one is because he could go there tackle corruption and Fashola as number 2 could use the funds recovered from corruption to fulfill his great ambitions and visions.

I'm still hopeful though because Fashola is one of those Buhari has promised to bring to Aso Rock if elected.

Lol, I laud Fashola's achievement. Irrespective of which party he belongs to. Many PDP people rubbish his record. But I'm NOT a PDP member. I saw/see some of Fashola's achievement & base my judgement on that.

I presume you were a kid or not born yet during GMB's regime. Buhari did not fight any corruption the way people portray it. He merely punished Southern politicians like Dr Ekwueme & Pa Ajasin because they were not "his" people. Nothing against them.
Shagari who was over all in charge was chilling in a mansion, Southerners with nothing against them or just mere party donation from contractors were in jail. Aside Barkin Zuwo (with lots of money in bedroom) and one or two other Northern 2nd republic politician, no other were punished. If you don't know the history behind Umaru Dikko & Buhari that motivated attempted crating, then you know nothing about them.

My own close relative, a respected journalist of over 30 years then who tried revealing the hypocrisy of Buhari's govt was harassed and sacked from his civil service job. If Buhari is so clean and respects democracy, why did he refuse to appear before OPUTA PANEL?

Ask GMB to return the 2.8 billion he stole as oil minister, that Shagari traced to London Midland Bank account in Buhari's name (the reason he quickly overthrew Shagari) & the mismanaged 25 billion (as found out by OBJ) at PTDF under his watch.

When I briefly met GMB & heard his live speech when he was head of state, I thought he was decent until he unleashed his brutality.

Then we can talk of anti-corruption stance.

Now do you dispute any of those things GEJ achieved so far? Like new universities, Almajiri schools, Nissan producing in Nigeria, working railway??

mrmetoo1:
Lets take it one at a time we're talking about GEJ and his liberation crusade right now and not my "Messiah". Jakande and Marwa started the Eko Atlantic project right? Jakande and Marwa took the bull by the horn with the Ebola outbreak right? I left Lagos in 2002 and came back 2013. When I left every freaking place in Lagos was a mess. Oshodi was a nightmare, it was a den of robbers plus if you go through Oshodi just expect to have lunch and dinner there. Everyone talked about how there were heaps of trash all over the streets. I remember Surulere and it wasn't the way it looks today. There was a period when there was mass relocation back to Nigeria by Nigerians in diaspora because of the great things that were happening in Lagos, that's what I mean by enabling environment. All those things you said were set up at one point will be destroyed by a bad manager.

The present government is ambitious without a doubt not saying they're saints but they're ambitious and they've made a lot of progress to achieving their ambition.

Lagos is far away from where I'll like it to be, this is why its annoying when politicians want to play to the gallery, a limited one at that, and talk about liberation. Lagos has a long way to go, you can campaign based on a million and one things and he talks about liberation. You can talk history all you want but presently Lagos is the best governed state in Nigeria, prove me wrong.

I don't support any political party or campaign for anyone. But I detest seeing people all parroting each other. No critical analysis.
Like I said, Fashola on his own is a decent guy.
For APC to shun Fashola & present an old cargo coup plotter and therefore a treasonable felon just hoping to grab central govt shows how cynical & power-hungry APC is.
Oshodi clearing, the infrastructure and so on are Fashola's achievement, not APC.

Similarly:
12 Federal universities built, 250 Almajiri schools in the North, boom in Agriculture & Nissan & others making cars again, renovated & new airports, 50,000 ghost workers removed from Federal civil service, Fertilizer scam stopped using e-wallet, near-sufficiency in food production/agric boom. Railway working again, Second Niger Bridge on track, Federal roads fixed n getting fixed & so on are GEJ's achievement, not PDP's.

Because OBJ was there for 8 years and he built only a private university (Bells University)for himself. Atiku did same (ABTI American University).
Even the debt cancellation was not unique to Nigeria. Ghana & others had debt cancelled at same time. EFCC was used to cower political opponents.

Equally Boko disaster is GEJ's failure, although Northern sponsors, saboteurs & feudalists are behind it.

mrmetoo1:
Why do you guys just talk like this? Who's in slavery, go to other states and ask yourself who is really in slavery. Lagos is arguably the best governed state in Nigeria right now and you're talking slavery. If Ebola had started almost anywhere else in Nigeria, it'll have been disastrous and you're talking about slavery. Lagos is where anyone from Nigeria comes to and hopes to have a better life because of the enabling environment and you talk about slavery. Lagos probably has the best amenities in Nigeria right now and you're talking slavery. Lagos is building the most ambitious project in Africa right now, Eko Atlantic, a brainchild of the present Lagos State government and you talk slavery. Please you guys learn to be honest and argue with fact and common sense.

.

Don't forget FG invested massively in Lagos before. Lagos had Jakande & Marwa. Even Mobolaji before that. That Foundation was already laid for Lagos. That's the reason head offices of multinationals were ordered to come to Lagos as Federal capital, they pay the huge taxes Lagos now use to do projects in addition to borrowing hugely.

Don't pretend as if AD/ACN/APC just came a few years ago and did everything.

But it is your new Messiah, Buhari who cancelled Jakande's laudable Metro project, the same cancellation expert you guys want us to believe will rescue Nigeria. I know Lagos of the 1980s, population was still manageable, exactly the perfect time for that Metro.

And I have lived in several National or commercial capitals, be it London, Paris, Zurich, Hamburg, etc, they all attract people from the regions, so Lagos is no different.

ramdris:
Who told dis man Lagosians are in bondage? He should rather free Nigerians from himself by vacating dat seat. Our problem is not how Lagos is been governed, but how Nigeria is being piloted by an obviously poorly trained pilot.

.

Do you know that when slavery ended in America, many slaves didn't want to leave their slave masters.
Because they had never known freedom, so bondage was their way of life for such a long time.
It took a long time for them to see the light.

And 16 years is a long time.
While Fashola on his own is a decent guy, his master Tinubu is a slave master.

missclassy:
Op I read you conversation with the woman and I have this to say

First of all, are you married? Because I don't know the image you portray to those living around you.
I looked at your half-hidden profile picture and it kind of says a lot about who you portray yourself to be.

Secondly, how literate/smart is this woman in the first place. Her conversation skills begs the question of her level of intelligence and general mental well being
Why would someone be pestering you like this. For me its either she is possessed or just a sex addict.

And finally @Op this is my advice. Since she doesn't want to stop her advances towards you, just report her to her husband. Also make sure you show him this same whatsapp conversations you showed us, in other not to implicate yourself.

I just pity for both the woman's husband and her children(if she has any)
She is a disgrace to womanhood. A blemish on the face of femininity.
Shame on her and shame on every other woman like her

My dear, it's a common thing like Gala & Lacasera. Blemish ko, sex-famished ni.

This lady is just not sophisticated. Dazzal. Promiscuity has nothing to do with level of education. People can pretend here all they like. I have had several married ladies on my back over the years. Only the Grace of God.

IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT IMAGE OP PRESENTS. The woman took a vow during her wedding.

Be sure of one thing. That lady will not be coming with a condom to fvck this guy.

This lady is married, imagine when she wasn't married yet.

The simple reason why 50% of firstborn kids & 30% of all kids don't belong to their assumed biological dad.
Pervasive infidelity. It's no news anymore.

meiloya:
Is there a strategy to know these secrets in order to decide whether you can live with them?

.
My brother, if I knew the strategy, I'd be very unpopular with the ladies BUT I'd have a VERY FAT bank account indeed!
Sadly, there's isn't really. Most of the strategies if followed, it's what Nairaland ladies like to describe as follows:

deeply insecure, has trust issues, snoops around an innocent girl/wife, he does not even trust himself, he knows he doesn't deserve the woman, not man enough, he's sexist, misogynist, etc.

One feminist wannabe or the other will find a way to use one of the above even if completely irrelevant.

Basically, it will involve carefully monitoring and observing her right from courtship. Try to know the reason she's with you. Is it because you're successful or at least presented yourself as such? Or is it love?

Is she VERY materialistic and is only concerned about beautiful things now or talks about achieving solid goals for the future together?
How does she react to a situation when money is not flowing or when you pretend money is not flowing?

How do you rate her principles, morality and integrity. Be aware that ladies are experts at pretending.
Understand her environment and upbringing.

I say upbringing rather than religion because religion has been so bastardised now, that the married pastor might even be the one who disvirgined her. So all that stuff is losing credibility fast. Only God knows his people now.

Fact is from your observations, you might be able to tell to some extent.

But remember, ladies keep their game very close to their chest. For them, fear of exposure and public disgrace is very big, so they take extra precautions. Playing the part and presenting the perfect picture of a virtuous woman is all important.

If killing you the husband is what it will take to protect that fake image, she'll have no qualms doing it.

@OP.

People keep forgetting Area Fada's Law of Female Culinary Prowess, it states that:

The deliciousness of a girl's meal is directly proportional to the number of joysticks she has tasted.

Which also can be put differently as:

The deliciousness of a girl's meal is indirectly proportional to virginity.

deliciousness of a girl's meal = 1/Virginity + k

dm = 1/V + k

Where k = constant ( ingredients used are constant).

Follow this law & you will never come to NL to ask such an embarrassing question. Voila!

But who knows if the PZ presentation ceremony man is the actual biological dad?

From DNA tests, 50% of first born kids belong to another man outside.

30% of all kids belong to another man outside.
It can be a neighbour, former boyfriend/sugar daddy, work colleague, client, best friend's husband, husband's best friend, driver, gateman, etc.

This might be the real dad coming out at last.

Lots of women have many dirty secrets.

ok

CFCfan:
Sounds workable..
Also, the states would have their own constitutions by then; which would, among other things, be the sole determinant of the size and structure of LGs, set the term limits for state and local political office holders, and revamp the SIECs to conduct gubernatorial and state legislative elections.

.
But as you know very well, there's currently no incentive to decentralise.

The FG just has too much on its plate. Devolution would seriously lighten the burden on FG. But that would also mean loss of some power. Certain sections of Nigeria are vehemently against it.

CFCfan:
Hmm. I'm not really in favor of a relatively small group of unelected people having any veto powers over bills passed by an elected legislature.
I would prefer that the NC be a strictly advisory body, while the president should have the sole authority of vetoing bills. A president's veto could force the parliament to reconsider the bill and look into the president's rationale for the veto.
If they MPs decide to make changes to the bill favorable to the president, they could subsequent forward it again for his/her assent.

.

True, but among them are elected people. President, VP, govs, deputy govs etc.

Ultimately, the president signs the bill or refuse to. But I think the input of stakeholders from the states would be important IN CERTAIN CASES.
This would not include defence, foreign policy, national economy/budget etc.
Hopefully by then, there would already be State police service.

As it is, people who carry out the bulk of job ruling us on day to day basis are unelected. The National Cabinet if full of unelected people. They spend our money, award contracts, implement policies, issue trade licences, represent us abroad in international summits, etc. Maybe ministerial appointments should be looked at.

It's funny that people don't know the different types of aroma that emanate from various VJs is not really all that.

Obs & Gynae docs would rather not do it if at all possible.

What you treasure so much, is just another birth canal, with the doc saddled with responsibility of checking & ensuring it can do its job.

A doc might just be checking the cervic os (mouth of the cervix) to ensure it's not open. But you rarely need to do that if no history of miscarriage.

CFCfan:
Interesting.
Would the National Council have veto powers or will they just be merely an advisory body?

.

It can have mixed function, but veto power in certain areas. Such as creation of new states, constitutional amendment & devolution of power to states. State Houses of Assembly already have powers concerning wholesale change of Federal constitution.

If not full veto, it should certainly have the powerful to push bills back to parliament for reconsideration & amendments.

This would ensure a unicameral parliament does a thorough job before asking for presidential assent.

This would also allay the fear of some that the party with majority in the House can use support of smaller allied parties to pass bills, with other relatively big parties having no say. NC would be a "checkpoint" before assent.

CFCfan:
I get your point about proportional representation. But I would prefer a slightly different approach.
I would prefer a situation whereby each state is guaranteed, at least, 7 MPs and the FCT would have 3. That will be a total of 255 MPs, as against the current 469 MPs.

That makes sense. More than about 250 MPs is sheer waste of time & money.

Instead of a second chamber, something like National Council/NC (like the German Bundesrat) instead of current Council of State parading former coup plotters.

NC Comprising the President, VP, current Supreme court chief Justice, Federal Attorney- General, every state gov & FCT minister and possibly 2 other reps from each state. Can be deputy govs & state attorneys-general.

This NC can deliberate on laws passed by the Federal parliament before presidential assent in certain areas and some other specific functions.

Just to ensure that the unicameral parliament is doing its job in a balanced way. To meet once monthly. Nobody should be paid extra to do this, as all are already paid by the state. Except where the president summons the NC in emergency, when sitting expenses can be paid.

CFCfan:
The Senate has the sole power to confirm ministerial nominees, ambassadorial nominees and service chiefs; whilst the House doesn't have such powers.
However, both chambers have concurrent oversight powers ie they can equally summon members of the cabinet and other executive officers, except the president's close aids.

Personally, I think there is no need for Nigeria to have a bicameral legislature because it's a major drain on the treasury.

Nigeria cannot afford a bicameral legislature.

If things are done properly, I can't see Bayelsa with say 6 MPs having problems with Lagos having about 16 MPs in a unicameral legislature.

Kedam:
Tell her you are already in a committed relationship and that you don't wanna hurt her. I also think changing ur location will help a lot.

.

That doesn't really work. From my experience. She's sure that he's free. Such a friendship never ends well. Never an amicable ending.

It takes a lot for a girl to give unsolicited green light. Girls take rejection very badly. We guys are used to girls playing hard to get and all.
If you move to a place you both won't see often, better.

In my case, I changed jobs about a month after I sat her down to politely say we both CAN NEVER be lovers. But even that one month was like hell, she won't greet me or answer me. That's how bad it can get with girls.

@Lizabeth25,

usually you don't have to have led her on. It is usually that you're just a carefree and genuinely, respectful person. The type she wants but never gets attention from. Being close to you now, she wants to grab your attention by all means. If that fails, she tells herself "I'm not gonna let this one get away from right under my nose". She becomes bold and starts making it obvious. Usually, others in your environment notice it before you.

Surprisingly, you will be the only guy or one of the few who never asked her out. Funny world.

Zico5:
These people re just bringing ideas that re detrimental to the well being of the masses. With the rate of unemployment and great number of NCE holders in circulation, how will they cater for non degree holders. The only sustaining means for all educated now being ND, NCE, HND and degree is teaching. So re they going to enforce private schools owners not to employ less than Degree now fully well that some of them re paying less than 20k. Talk is relatively cheap in Nigeria but we shall see

.

In some areas, some private schools pay 6k to 10k per month. NCE holders for that matter.

Upon all the stress. You go nearly weep for them.

Looks like a cheap imitation of what you see in many Western countries.

It certainly looks out of a place to me. From the pic, it might look impressive viewing it with "9ja eyes".

Maybe the pics don't do justice to it like some said.

I have seen pics of Abuja mansions that look more impressive.

Lordabas:
just found out now before it got serious or we started dating that she slept with my brother 3yrs ago. She has been very honest with me about how she was wild partying hard, very young and naive.i think i got a thing for her and by her actions of late to me and words of other people i think she's a very nice girl. Whatever actions people had in the past with her when i wasn't involved i tell them to leave it in the past i dont care
To be honest with all of you i really don't care but i think some strong feelings are clouding full judgement

...I and my brother still get along great together

Ok Would appreciate some helpful insight

.

Guy, you just made up this story, right?

If not, just try to listen to yourself:

"I want to date (possibly marry) my bother's ex-girlfriend or ex-fvck mate".

I hope that rings very cool to you. Just the kind of girl you always wanted.

Brilliant. While you are at it, it appears during her "young, naïve & wild days", she probably slept with loads of guys.

Wild and naïve girls are very unlikely to use condom. At least get a proper STI test before you start enjoying your own share of it.

Bonne chance!

Dude you still have not posted pics of the land here.

dkronicle:
Osho free weapon wey us for block frm nigeria.
But one question which i dont know who to ask is ''how did this weapon of mass and general distruction entered nigeria. What are the navy and air force doing''

.

Powerful people are behind Boko, so Boko can even bring a weapon as big as Ship house in Abuja into 9ja.

Same people want election conducted at a time boko is in control of large areas of North-East. They loathe the current momentum against Boko because it doesn't fit into their narrative and propaganda.

Rawani:
Welcome development. This conspiracy must be unveiled. The postponement was a slap on the face of Nigerians and we must get to the root of the matter. I trust Senator Akume on this one.

.

Even with over 800,000 PVCs still to be printed as at 18/02/2015? That's what Jega admitted to senators yesterday.

How can you conduct credible elections with so many cards not yet printed and millions not distributed? Haba!

That would have plunged Nigeria into another avoidable crisis.
