Politics › Nigeria Will Be In Trouble If PDP Wins- Buhari by AroOkigbo(op): 10:39pm On Jan 10, 2015
All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, (retd.), on Saturday warned that Nigeria would be in trouble if the Peoples Democratic Party wins the 2015 elections.

Buhari said this while addressing a campaign rally at the Michael Okpara Square in Enugu.

He told the gathering that it would be a mistake if they failed to vote out the PDP.

“If you make a mistake to allow the PDP to rule again for the next four years, we will all be in trouble,” Buhari said.

He stressed the need for people to collect their Permanent Voter Cards in order to ensure that the PDP was voted out.

“What we need from you is to make sure that you get your PVCs,” he said.

Buhari added that “if Nigeria don’t kill corruption, corruption will kill Nigeria.”

Promising to invest in agriculture, industries and security, the APC presidential candidate distanced Islam from the activities of the Boko Haram sect.

According to him, the insurgency in parts of the North is a case of anarchy and terrorism.

He said, “For anybody to go and kill people in churches, in mosques, in motor parks and shout ‘Allah’, he is saying what he does not believe.

“It is not religion, it is just anarchy, it is just terrorism.”

Buhari promised that he would “restart the coal industry” in Enugu, and also ensure regular power supply in the country.

He said the coal resources in the state would be harnessed for power generation.

Earlier, Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, assured the people that Buhari would stabilise the country, if voted into office.

Okorocha, however, urged Buhari to give the South-East one more state, and also fund the construction of the second Niger Bridge from the federal budget, instead of the current public/private partnership arrangement.

Other projects which Okorocha asked Buhari to execute in the South-East include upgrading the Sam Mbakwe Airport, Owerri, to an international status, and the construction of the Onitsha-Enugu and Aba-Ikot Ekpene roads.

The National Chairman of the APC, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, urged the Igbo to vote for the APC, noting that they (Igbos) had supported the PDP for 16 years without anything to show for it.

Former Anambra State Governor, Senator Chris Ngige, in an address at the event, said Buhari “will make sure that nobody takes the money that belongs to the people and put it in his pocket.”

The Director General, Buhari Campaign Organisation and Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, reminded the gathering that President Goodluck Jonathan was not an Igbo man.
Speaking in Igbo language, Amaechi challenged Jonathan to speak Igbo if he claimed to be one with the Igbos.

The governorship candidate of the APC in Enugu State, Mr. Okey Ezea, was presented with the party’s flag at the event, which attracted a large turnout.

Ezea promised to provide free education and free heath care services to the people of the state if he was voted to become the governor.

Romance › What To Look For In A Life Partner by AroOkigbo(op): 6:10am On Nov 01, 2014
Relationship expert, Praise Fowowe outlines the top qualities to look out for in a life partner. Happy reading:

1. Home training: I cannot think divorce because I was brought up not to
think about it. I do not steal and I have never prayed to God to help me
overcome stealing. My father conditioned me not to steal. If I had to
steal, it’s a new skill that I need to develop.I was not wired to have
extra marital affairs and I had to take responsibility for myself not to
do so. If a child has been properly brought up, you can be sure that the
marriage will work. It’s not about speaking in tongues, because some
people speak in tongues and lack home training. That’s why we say
charity begins at home.

2. Values: Values must be compatible. What do you believe in? What
drives you? Are you driven by material things like cars? I did not have
a car when I proposed to my wife. What was in my account was less than
10 thousand naira. All I had was a dream and she was magnanimous
enough to believe in me. My wife has never put any financial burden on
me. Whatever I can provide is what she takes and she never compares
me. What are your values? Are you someone who keeps to your word? Are
you accountable? The 21st century love must not be at first sight but
must hire binoculars to see from afar.

3. Current reality: Apart from values you need to ask, can I marry
this man/woman based on current reality? Some people get married
and hope the person will change; that they will change is hope – it never
works. If he smokes or womanizes can you stick with him? Forget that
God will change him. If he doesn’t change are you okay?

4. Vision: Never marry someone who is not going somewhere with his
life, if the vision is not accurately defined, don’t go in. It’s like
entering a one chance bus. You won’t land in your destination.

5. The question ‘why’: In addition to that vision is the question
“Why?” A guy comes to meet you and says he loves you. Ask him why
me? There are so many other girls and you’ll be shocked that 9 out of 10
can’t answer that question. They will say something like ‘I love your
shape’. He doesn’t love you because he doesn’t know you. That’s why I
don’t believe in love at first sight. You can’t love anyone at first sight
because you don’t know the person. What you’re seeing is the person’s
packaging. My package is not me. When you ask ‘why do you love me?”
and the person says ‘Oh you just have straight legs’ what he is saying
to you invariably is, I don’t want to marry a person, I want to marry a
leg.
Until you know why, don’t deal because it means the guy is going to
mess you up. Every marriage in crisis that I have encountered, doesn’t
know the reason why they got married. You hear some say “I married
her because I wanted someone who could take care of the home and to
cook” so the guy was looking for a housekeeper and cook and not a wife.
People don’t know how to answer the right questions so they mess up. It
is critical and if you understand these things, you can never go wrong.

6. Adopt a family constitution – I also recommend for people to write
their family constitution and to put punitive measures in it before you
marry so that if we had agreed with the constitution before we married,
that if you ever cheat on me and you are caught or you report yourself,
you will first go through HIV screening and all medical tests before we
think of the next step. So when it happens, you will bring out the
constitution. People need to cover themselves but sadly people go
sheepishly into relationships then they get in there and are surprised.
The 21st century trend is to get yourself covered. It’s not a contract
marriage. It’s agreement. Can two walk together except they agree? If
you don’t want me to have extramarital affairs, state what you want
e.g wild sex and friendship, so we can both fulfill our roles. That way we
would build the most desirable families. The most important setting on
earth is your family and it starts with the choice of who to marry. The
reason why Nigeria is collapsing is because the family system has
collapsed. When we build it right and build people right, we won’t have
any problem.

Knowledgeable Nairaland peeps, what your take on these?

nzeBiddle: Absolute gibberish! What have you gained from the fact that Ihejirika was COAS? What impact did that make in your life as a South Easterner? ...and I'm appalled that you foolishly wrote down Enugu-PH road as part of what GEJ did for the SE -same horrible road I plied the previous week. If I may ask, when last did you ply that road (that's if you've even plied the full the length before)? And 2nd niger bridge? Lol why you wan exonerate the guy? So because other govts failed us on the project, his slow-pace on executing it does not matter? He used it to campaign in 2011 and all of a sudden it is now that elections are approaching that work seems to have genuinely commenced/picked up pace there. Yet another project with a similar scale in the North Central -Oweto bridge has been progressing at a faster pace. Given his antecedents (since 2011 when he first campaigned with the 2nd niger bridge project) re: commitment to the project, what is the guarantee that it will finally be completed if he is given another chance? What do you people gain from propaganda? See if ona keep praising this man instead of tasking him on his failed promises he would not take the region seriously knowing fully well that otere nnu, otere azu ona go still vote am in.
If we give GEJ a pass mark (with reference to the SE) primarily based on the fact that previous governments have done little or nothing for the region as you have primarily highlighted in your reply then we'r doomed; what it means is that he'll keep doing "little" provided whatever he does surpases what previous govts did -since that seems to impress you and your ilk as your reply has largely portrayed.

Btw my Enugu and in extension SE people, what's with this overwhelming GEJ obsession? Why e be say na SE carry this man matter for head pass? Nobody's asking questions anymore ... yet Enugu/PH expressway remains a mess; ditto Enugu/Onitsha. Wetin we don really gain from FG? Why are we not looking into the reasons why the joke called akanu ibiam intl airport was hap-hazardly done? Why are we comfy with settling for less? Where is the coal-powered power plant he promised us during the 2011 pdp rally at Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium? Ditto the so called 2nd niger bridge -which sadly successive govts hv used to fool my people for votes over the years.
As an enugu man, I am impressed with chime and in fact will vote him in again if the constitution made any provision for such. But jonathan? ..big question mark* Quit the blind "GEJ till 2019" banters and channel these efforts towards tasking these leaders my people. If they know you'll vote them in irrespective of performance due to perceived "voter strongholds", empty promises and mediocrity will continue to be the order of the day

barcanista: This result looks fishy.
In the first election, the difference in votes according to INEC was approximately 5000 in favor of "PDP".
In the re-run and final election, the PDP allegedly scores 92k, while the APC scored 87k, the difference still remains 5000. Are we saying that the areas where rerun was held voted evenly? This is a clear indication that the result was doctored/allocated.
Shame to INEC in Niger

Business › Re: $10bn Chevron Escravos GTL Produces First Liquids by AroOkigbo(m): 3:09pm On Aug 29, 2014
igbonla: Valid post, I can do a synopsis of each of the above points to show that the cost of the project would not have exceeded about $3bn, even with the highlighted differences with the Oryx plant. The last point (No 6) is the sore thumb, many "peasants" ended up as billionaires with obscenely inflated contracts that spanned over 7 years; and there were several of those contracts.

The project was more political than economic and Uduaghan had to make sure it goes ahead to have peace in Delta state. Will it make money? Maybe, but it will take several years to break even.
.
It depends on your definition of "several years"- in reference to breaking even.
1. Diesel, Naphtha and HC Condensate are pure products and sell at a much higher price than crude oil. Aside the HC Condensate (about a million barrels per month) which is like a byproduct, the plant has 34000 barrel per day capacity.
2. The main raw material is natural gas. This is the same gas that would have been flared. (environmental consideration is key). Lesser tax will be paid by Chevron as less gas is flared (cost savings).
3. More oil wells (with associated gas, hitherto capped) will be opened up. This will boost crude oil production. More gas- methane is also made available to NGC for power generation.
4. Profit is not all about money, think of the jobs this opened up- direct and indirect. At at time during construction, there were over 4000 personnel on side at any given time (even running on "shift"wink. The "egg supplier" made sure he supplied 10000 eggs per day!

There are a whole lot of economic benefits.

Are you actually sure our "NPDC" will manage the wells better?
The refineries and petrochemical companies are a case in view.
The truth is that our politicians and their allies are buying up these wells...with our (stolen) money.
These wells will end up in the hands of Chinese investors in the long run. Of course, you know how dubious they can be.
