dayo23: Pls I Jst hrd from a Reliable Source That Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has Join Action Congress Of Nigeria (ACN) others include olusegun Agagu, Olabode George. Pls Confirm.

wendytilda: Don't get me wrong, I love Rochas and I'm all for the positive things he's done so far. But I'd like an answer to this question too!?!

Donmeca: U sound like u read anywhere that d Imo state govt wil build a free university. Now listen Rochas Okorocha who owns Rochas Foundation is d businessman who can b distinguished from d Politician in d Imo state govt. His charity organisation, RF wishes to add a university to their list of laudable achievements aimed at empowering indigent Nigerians. They have foreign and local patners and donors incase u think it is Imo state taxpayers` money. So it is doable for all doubting thomases. I won't blame u guys cos we've believed so much and got spanked severally. We've lost hope in govt but never u doubt it when u hear that Dangote plans the world largest power plant....cos he is not govt. He's a capitalist bizman who will do anything for more money. So is Rochas Okorocha.

salaksmana: I dey laugh oooo, Osundefender again, are the tablets programmed in Yoruba because most of the students don't even understand english, and will there be a training on how to use it because most of them don't even know what a monitor or mouse or keyboard is. As for the people asking for 170 model schools, Aregbe has been building a prototype (Salvation army primary school Osogbo) since October last year and he hasn't complete it, so don't even ask for 170 of those for now. "Opon-Imo" ROFLMAO.

Father Arrested For Selling A Day Old Baby For N350,000

Residents of Alagbado area of Lagos state were is shock and disbelieve following the arrest of man named Abraham Olaniyan who sold his day-old baby to an Anambra State Business woman for N350,000.

Shortly before his arrest, sympathizers and close relatives of the Olaniyans had thronged their apartment to console them on the death of their baby.

Further report stated that the suspect’s wife , Mrs Nkechi Olaniyan was pregnant for the fifth child. But the family, as gathered, had been going through financial difficulty which led to the suspect’s inability to care for his immediate family. On the day of delivery, the suspect, a bricklayer, reportedly took his wife to a private hospital around Alagbado where she was delivered of a baby boy.

Crime Alert learnt that trouble started Mrs. Olaniyan regained consciousness, an hour after the delivery, and she was informed that her baby had died. She reportedly demanded severally to see the remains of her baby, only to be told that he had been buried already.

Suspecting a foul play, she reportedly contacted the police and expressed fears that the purported story of her dead child was shrouded in unfathomable circumstance. The Police immediately arrested the husband, a development that initially sparked up reactions from different quarters.

But preliminary investigation, according to Police sources, revealed that the 26-year-old father allegedly connived with some medical staff to sell the baby, following his inability to cater for him and his siblings. According to the sources,“ we arrested the man based on his wife’s disclosure that he had one time threatened to sell one of their children.

She said when she was pregnant, her husband asked her to terminate the pregnancy because of their financial state but claimed she refused. So, after she regained consciousness and was told the baby had died, she insisted on seeing the corpse and when they did not, she concluded her husband could have made do his treat.

“ At first , her husband denied . But he later confessed that he sold the baby for N350,000 to a woman in Anambra State who had been been looking for the fruit of the womb for fifteen years. His confessional statement led to the arrest of the doctor of the hospital and two nurses, who during interrogation, told us the man gave them his consent and that the woman was aware of the whole plan”

Investigation, as gathered, further revealed that the woman was anesthetized immediately she put to bed, apparently to prevent her from knowing when the illicit transaction would take place.

On how the business woman was arrested in far away Anambra, police sources said, “ she was called on the phone by Abraham who said he wanted to see her. A place was booked for the meeting and when she showed up, we arrested her.”

Meanwhile , back in Onitsha , the apartment of the business woman simply identified as Rachael was agog with celebration. One of her relatives was already in her house to help her massage her body and also bath the child. The joy between her and her husband over the arrival of their baby knew no bounds , owing to the several years of waiting for a child of their own. It could however not be ascertained whether she revealed the source of the baby’s arrival to her husband.

What a terrible man! Imagine selling your own son for N350,000.

Olalekan 0: You have no idea what's going on in Osun.Aregbe has borrowed over 90B meanwhile he was crticizing his predecessor for borrowing just 18B!

alj harem: Koruji, I would like to see a link to the 170 mega schools please. Aregbesola does not have the capacity do do such.

Unless you are talking in terms of aids from other states ?

buzugee: thats how i know the pilot was not nigerian. if the pilot was nigerian his last words to air traffick control will be ' mogbeooooooooooooo egbamiiiiiiiiii ooooooooooooooo motikerannnnnnnnn yeapaaaaaaaaaaripaaaaaaa. mokuoooooooooo heleppppp me pleaseeeee ejoooooooooooo '

they are all in a better place at rest ( ecclesiastes 12 vs 7 )

Dis Guy:
so why should we believe the SURE P will work its the same nigeria that the budget doesnt seems to be working

Why should we believe prof Nnaji can led a team to improve power generation and transmission with this same complexities ?

Gbawe:

You people really amaze me with how you don't understand that the "Nigerian way" has indoctrinated you to the point you are virtually blind !!! What the hell are you telling us here ? Ghadaffi paid with his life for f.uc.k sake !!!!! We are in an age where the people [b]demand and the people get !!!! [/b]

Years of dictatorship has simply bastardized the thinking of some Nigerians to the extent they don't see how the world, including our own dear Nigeria, is changing. If the people want GEJ gone , he will go and the legislators will impeach him even if only to save their own skin. Power resides permanently in the people and it is time folks like you stop talking otherwise. There is no 'superman' strenght in the Presidency beyond that the people confer in it as an office to serve us.

Dis Guy:
Good one here

I've always wondered why the govt cant just build more refineries- but we keep getting the old theoretical ' govt has no business running a business'; you only have to look around the world to see there are socialist policies amongst the most capitalists govt

if the govt can get nigerians of repute to manage the 'subsidy savings'; they can also get competent nigerians to manage the refineries!

jmaine:
To you all dancing and lifting the NASS members to the high heavens . .even claiming they are on the side of the masses    . . I pity your supposed occupy Nigeria cos it's dead already . . .occupy my Bottom . .when the main pinnacle of corruption in the NASS are given the high thumbs for playing to the gallery . . .

They are just exercising shyte powers, and like i said earlier, the clash between the FG and the NASS on this issue would antagonize their looting expedition . . cos they would check each other excesses . . or either reach a compromise stealthily . .

If the NASS mute impeachment . . then the real chaos unheard of shall visit them . .they know better. . .they are just playing cheap politics to avert the interest of the masses to call for their heads

jason123:
NLC is different from "occupy Nigeria". The latter started before the former and thus, does not affect the protest.

manny4life:
Yeah I can understand why you failed economics in school, but it's cool, Use the multiplier effect theory in this scenario, NO it's not only 9,600 jobs probably 3x of that amount when you consider all the factors from manufacturing (i.e. if the cars was manufactured in Nigeria by IVM), to inspection, Quality, delivery/logistics, Driving, periodic Maintenance, etc.

chrisosi:
@asha 80, if they are not protesting, that means they are enjoying the hardship. transport from Owerri to lagos as at Friday is 13500 naira.
as for the people that are praising GEJ, Some of us are not surprise, "Baba" once made a comment that we should ask our "Umuna" what they do with the money allocated for the development of the Iboland. i know one day and which is now, nemesis will surely catch up with all the bad bad people that hv destroyed the iboland

chrisosi:
This is why the East can never move forward!!!!! imagine the hardship being experienced in the east, fuel has been more than 65 naira/liter i.e, 140 - 160. i am very sure of this because i went to the university in Imo state. now we are too weak or probably being bribed as usaual not to take part in this revolution. i am so ashamed of my ibo brothers and sisters especially the youth.

ceejayluv:
i saw my former maigard in owerri yesterday, he has totally changed his dressing to camouflage as a southerner. The other northerners are hiding in the army barracks. We are not aggressors but they knew what fate would befall them if they walked freely while d killings ar goin on in d north.
P.S. I can bet with my 'last card' that Fashola supports the subsidy removal

Ex Inferis:
asha-wo, your point mysteriously eludes me. are you denying biafra (sacrilege! blasphemy!)?

that has always being my point! you just supported the MASSOG guys that we need to leave the south, that hausas are your enemies becuase BH comes from the north blah blah yada yada. my point is this:

there are millions of innocent igbos in the north who've carved out means of livelihood here more than they ever can in the southeast. our teeming population ceates lucrative markets. are you asking them to leave the north for the east just to satisfy your secessionist dreams?

the northerners in the east are not as settled and economically important as the igbos in the north. you cannot disrupt businesses worth billions because some marginal group is on a rampage.

we are not your enemy. BH is. PDP is.

Ex Inferis:
seems last night's ogogoro is befuddling your logic. your incoherence neither posits a valid point nor invalidates mine. praytell what is the inverse relationship between igbos owning properties in the north and the activities of massob?

MASSOB is a pan-igbo movement that embodies your collective zeal for a biafran nation. thus, MASSOB is a well accpeted organ of your aspirations. it does speak for all igbos and im yet to find one igbo who says otherwise.

meanwhile BH arose as splinter faction from a sect of nigerian version of islam (the Izala sect) due to disagreement on the concept of western education and its place in islam. BH speaks for the members of its sect, a minority.

one is a political umbrella organization, the other is a religious faction. night and day, apple and oranges.

Ex Inferis:
because BH doesnt speak for all northerners. Massob speaks for all igbos.

Hardunnii:
Ibos, whether u like it or not, u are also parasite, south south has rejected u ppl, deal with it
