21k for a bag of rice Please Sir are you living in Nigeria or somewhere just outside the borders of Nigeria?? I'm asking because I bought a bag of rice for #13,500 just two Saturdays ago

MISSCONGENIALITY:
so I'm that case the police should not play victim. And if u want to look at it that way, the police are armed while the others are not armed.

The report says they Stabbed a Police officer, they're clearly Armed.

The should continue killing each other

MISSCONGENIALITY:
What did the police do before he was killed.
They must have done something if u are saying the truth

I like the angle you're coming from. The policemen prolly did something, that's why they were killed. The dead Massob protesters prolly did something too, That's why they were killed as well

idensko:
Dey Re making us stronger

Lol. You're behind the safety of your phone but you're saying they're making us stronger.

Better go out there and fight, Then you'll be a part of the 'Us'

Since the killings are on both sides, Let Massob and the Police/Army continue killing themselves. Na una palava

IkpuMmadu:
Na you go ask Na you go answer


Just go and take samples of opinion how Yoruba are regarded in the streets


It's as simple as that

Abeg no quote me again


Na una put una self there

Okay. And Igbos are regarded as Saints in the streets?

ever811:
i disagree wit u sir,iam 4rm tiv tribe in Benue state but I will stand my feet on the ground to defend the Igbo's and Niger Deltans on dis one.the problems facing Nigeria today,be it insurgents, Fulani herdsmen wahala,Niger Delta avengers,biafera agitation, bad economy, untimely death,under development,just name them are as a result of the inability of the government to occupy the people with good life which should retrogressed there mind from violence of any form.the government has failed to make policies which would checkmate the mentality and orientation of the people..if there has been outstanding balance development all over the six geopolitical zones, let said east nd ,Niger delta for instance the issue of biafera and blowing of pipe lines would not hv been raised from the death.the Yoruba nd Hausa's who hv planted them self in power has failed to deliver good governance are the real problem of Nigeria..sir..thank u

Yorubas planted themselves in power?? Please what's the ratio of Hausa to Yoruba Presidents/Rulers in this country I'd really like to know from you

IkpuMmadu:
We are in this mess today because of Yoruba foolishly followed bubu the dullard from north

The mess didn't just start today, It started a very long time ago. The Mess started after Soldiers decided to leave the barracks to rule the country.

Don't blame it on a particular tribe

You're very right. I suggest we don't relent on our efforts, Their social media pages should still be bombarded with questions and we should continually remind them of their promise.

Let's keep the fire burning


Fraiser and co. What's your take on this?


FTC Okay Mods. Thanks for moving this to FP

I Was told that girl child marriage used to take place in some places in the East. But I was thinking it has ceased to exist. This is wickedness.

To think that a thing like this still happens in Nigeria, Its a crying shame

Izygab:
We're even now.. the east marrying underage. Nigeria is one

Sad

A 37-year-old man, Michael Ugwu, who claims to work as a police SPY official at a federal ministry in Lagos state, has been arrested by the police in the state for taking a 12-year-old orphan, identified only as Nneka as wife. Nneka’s grand father, Abada, a native doctor in Enugu State, reportedly gave out her out in marriage to Ugwu, an indigene of Aji in Enugu Ezike town, Igbo-Eze North Local Government Area of Enugu State. The Punch is reporting that Ugwu, had gone to the Ipaja Police Division, Lagos to report that his teenage wife ran away from home and had since been missing.
The police, upon finding the said missing wife, subsequently detained Ugwu for marrying a minor.
A police source at the Division said, “Ugwu came and reported that his wife absconded and that he even took a loan from a bank to marry her.

He even sounded drunk when he came to the station.
“When we saw the minor he called wife, we had to detain him to get more information, because a 12-year-old girl is not ripe for marriage, so we had to ask him more questions,” the source added.
But Ugwu, on his part, said the girl’s grandfather willingly gave her out to him in marriage at their hometown in Enugu State.
He added that there was a traditional marriage to that effect on January 20, 2016 in the village, attended by about 50 persons, including community elders, the girl’s grandfather and other villagers.

He noted he never saw anything wrong with taking the girl as a wife because there were elders at the event and they gave their blessings to the union, adding that the girl’s grandfather, who also happened to be his old time friend, had assured him that the girl was not a small girl. Ugwu said, “I have been under pressure from my family members to get married, and when I visited the village earlier in the year, I and Abada, a retired Biafran soldier, went to have a drink.
“I paid the bills and told Abada I needed a woman to marry. “Abada was happy I paid for his drinks, and he assured me he would introduce me to a girl. He said I might not be able to take care of a woman he wanted to give me but that he had another one for me. The following morning, I visited him with a friend of mine.
“He asked for N500 and I gave him. Around 10pm, he brought a girl to my house. I was about sleeping then. He said the girl he brought for me is his child and that he would want me to marry from their place.
“I asked if the girl is up to the right age, he said yes; that she was not a small girl. He said he needed to give the girl out in marriage so that she would not get unwanted pregnancy. I said okay. “He brought the girl again the following morning. He asked that I shook hands with the girl and I did. He said I should not joke with the offer because someone else had even shown interest in the girl but that he wanted me to marry her. He said I should come with one carton each of beer and malt to ‘knock the door’ as the tradition demands.
“We call it ‘Omenala’. He gave me the list of items to buy for the introduction,” Ugwu stated.

“During my first visit, I went with one carton of beer and malt. During my second visit for the introduction, the items I bought, according to the list I was given, included a jar of palm wine worth N30,000, eight cartons of beer worth N16,000, two cartons of malt worth N3,000, amount spent on cooking to entertain the guests cost N11,000, two laps of pig meat worth N6,000, 30 kolanuts worth N2,800, two packets of cigarette worth N400 and dowry of N33,000. I was there with some of my family members.
“At the event, even though she didn’t give me wine as required traditionally and we didn’t put on same attire, Abada gave her to me and told us to kneel down and he prayed for us. He said he expected us to come back with children.
“The two times the girl was brought to my house and on the day of the introduction, she wore high heels, which made her look taller and mature.

“At that time, I didn’t see her as too young, and as our elders in the village supported it, I thought it was right. I am a heavy drinker, maybe that is why I was confused and the pressure from my people to get married made me to rush into it. Then, the girl’s grandfather is a herbalist, I don’t know whether he covered my eyes because now I regret my actions.
“I came back to Lagos with the girl in February. I think I was hypnotised for me to have taken that loan because now, my salary is being deducted monthly to pay back the loan.
“I have never slept with her, but I made the attempt twice but it was not successful, as I could not penetrate, so I left her.

“I think the man used a charm to hypnotise me, otherwise, how would I have married such a young girl without knowing it and that is part of the reasons why I regret my actions. I love the girl but she didn’t respond when I tried ‘it’ because there was ‘no way’.
“How would I have a wife at home and I would still go out to satisfy myself (sexually). A doctor even advised me not to sleep with her because she was too young to be pregnant. I made two attempts to sleep with her but no way. I didn’t force her. In my life, I had never deflowered any woman.”
Commenting on the incident, the Director of Children Affairs in the Ministry, Mrs. Alaba Fadairo, said the case was under investigation.

The Spokesperson for the Enugu State Police Command, Ebere Amaraizu, said the command would swing into action as soon as it is briefed by the Lagos State Command or a formal report is made to the command on the matter.

Lol. Broke

No more public funds to siphon to the coffers of the Party

Toolz isn't thick or curvy. She's fat.

The Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Adeyeye Ogunwusi has
advised the people in the country at all levels to imbibe
the spirit of dialogue and compromise to tackle all
problems facing the country

– The monarch said these two tools are strong tools to
moving the nation forward

– He said the absence of dialogue and compromise by
the citizens are the main cause of sectional agitations
in different parts of the country

Oba Enitan Adeyeye, who has been at the forefront of
empowering the youths said secessionist groups such as
Niger Delta Avengers (NDA) and Movement for the
Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), came about because of the current political set-up could not give satisfy their needs.

While addressing a conference organised by All
Progressives Youth Forum (APYF) with the theme, ‘the youth diversity conference 2016,’ the first class monarch urged Nigerians to see the strength in the youths as well as differences in language and culture.
The Ooni of Ife was also part of top Yoruba monarchs, who graced a one-day stakeholders’ meeting aimed at making the teaching of Yoruba language compulsory in all public and private schools in Lagos, about a week ago.

The Ife traditional king stated: “It is frustration that has led them (youths) to do what they are doing. They cannot fish in their water, they cannot farm on their land, yet nearby people are taking billions from oil. The people are peaceful people.

“We need to appease to them. Its difficult to build but its very easy to destroy. Look at the history of Nigeria
politically and economically, its been very peaceful, the
people of the South-south have been very peaceful.
“Look at the people of the South-east of this country; very wonderful people. We know they can not stay in one place, they are driven by commerce, they are driven by activities moving all over the country, you found them everywhere and that is one of their greatest strength.”

While also speaking on the blame game of why the country is not moving forward presently, he said: “If we continue to deceive ourselves that help will come from Europe or China, we are deceiving ourselves. Our help is with us already, the youths are the solution to our challenges. Let us talk less of our challenges but emphasis on our strengths.”

They were called the unsmiling duo. In his first
incarnation as Nigerian leader, the then Major General
Muhammadu Buhari was paired with another top brass
military officer, Babatunde Idiagbon, who was the
number two man. Smile was alien to their lips, laughter a
total stranger.
They had a job to do, which was to rid the country of
corruption, crime and indiscipline, and anybody who didn't fall in line was liable to being dealt with. And summarily too.
Laughter was, therefore, a distraction.

Buhari was reticent, Idiagbon, taciturn. A fearful and
fearsome combination. Do the crime, serve the time was
their motto. Manifest indiscipline, even in something as
pressing as answering the call of nature, urinate by the
roadside, and you can't tell anybody it was the work and of the Devil. They would tell you the Devil does not pee.
Vandalize public utilities? Twenty years in jail. Traffic in
cocaine? Goodbye to the world. Nigeria was being whipped into line, and no mistake. But that nirvana lasted only 20 months, and forces of reaction struck. The regime was toppled.

Along the line, Idiagbon went the way of all flesh. But 30
years later, Providence brought Buhari back to the number one position. Did Nigerians who were of age forget the reticent, ramrod straight man from Daura? No. The mental image they had (and still have) of him, is a man of iron and steel, a new sheriff in town, who whips all malefactors into line. A forbidding man who rarely smiles, and who never enjoys the music of the soul; laughter. Such frivolities are for the flippant and unserious. True? Not so. Yes, there is iron and steel in President Buhari, which makes him able to set his face as flint against the corrupt, no matter who such person is. The iron makes him abhor indiscipline, the steel compels him to crave order and decorum at all times. But is the man all iron and steel? Follow me, as I let you into another vista, another side of the essential Buhari. The human sde, flesh and blood.

By Wednesday, June 1, it would be exactly a year that I
started working with the President as his adviser on media and publicity. And I have seen him in many moods: sober, pensive, business-like, and light, yes, easy, jocular mood. This President enjoys good laughter, and, indeed, has a rich sense of humour.

On resumption day, I met the President at Defence House, his temporary outpost, while the Aso Rock presidential villa was being renovated. "Chief Adesina, welcome," he said, as he exteded his hand to me. We both burst out laughing. Of course, I was no chief. Simply Mr. And the President knew it. He was only pulling my legs.
Having waved me to a seat, the President gave me what can be called the rule of engagement, which would guide my service to him, and to the country.
"Tell me the truth always," he declared. " That is what I want from you. The truth. I may argue with you, you know I am a General, but please argue with me. If your argument is superior, I will bow to it."
And the President has lived up to his word, one year down the road.

On his very first day at Aso Villa, I had approached the
President, saying it was necessary for him to visit journalists covering the seat of power at the Press Gallery. He agreed, and strolled from his office a few minutes later. In his first coming, the then General Buhari was not known to be enamoured of the Press. He enacted Decree 4, which was meant to protect public officers against false accusation, and two journalists were actually jailed under the decree. For President Buhari to then visit journalists in their gallery on the first day at the presidential villa was, therefore, historic. The true democrat was here. After his remarks, soliciting the support of the press men, he shook their hands one after the other, making witty remarks. When Juliana Taiwo Obalonye introduced herself as representing The Sun, the President said:"Warn your cartoonist. Warn your cartoonist. My chin is not as long as he usually draws it." Loud guffaws from everyone.
He had one thing or the other to say about almost all the
media houses present. It was an evening of conviviality.
There were two instances when the President exhibited good humour at what could potentially rile someone else.
Following his many overseas trips, which have been
unjustifiably criticised in the media, there was a cartoon in a newspaper, which said when a country elects a nomadic Fulani as President, how would they expect him to sit in one place? The President laughed and laughed. He even told the story to some people who visited him later in the day.
On another occasion, somebody wrote an opinion piece with the headline: 'When will President Buhari visit Nigeria?' Rib cracking laughter was what it elicited in the President. The writer was insinuating that the President was more abroad than at home, and whenever he came back, it meant he was visiting Nigeria. But since the President knew the purpose behind his foreign trips, he rather laughed off the cheeky newspaper headline.

Have you heard the story of the German sentry? The
President loves to tell it. The first occasion I heard him relate the story was when the Peace Committee headed by Gen Abdulsalami Abubakar visited him. Also in the team were people like the Sultan of Sokoto, His Eminence Sa'ad Abubakar 111, Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah, and many others. They had come to appeal that the anti- corruption war be waged within the ambit of the rule of law. The President listened patiently, and then responded:
"In the military, there used to be this joke about the German sentry. When a sentry is on duty, and he heard any movement, particularly if it was dark, he barks out. 'Who goes there? Advance to be recognized.' With his gun at the ready, he interrogates the person, and if he tells an acceptable story, he waves the person on. But when the German sentry hears movement in the dark, he lets out a volley of shots, and then shouts:'Who went there?' Of course, he knows he has killed the person."
The President explained that when he came as a military
ruler, he was like the German sentry. " I packed all the
people who were suspected to be corrupt, and kept them in protective custody. And I told them they were corrupt, until they could prove themselves innocent.
"But now, under a democratic setting, I see corrupt people going around in Rolls Royce, but they remain innocent, until I can prove them guilty."

Of course, the President and his guests laughed heartily.
From time to time, President Buhari grants interviews to
television stations at home and abroad. And they have to fit their microphones on his dress. Whenever the interview is concluded, the President would fiddle with the microphone, which had been passed under his dress, and then exclaim:"Can somebody disarm me, please?" For a retired army officer, that is quite creative, and it causes people to laugh.

The President notices everything, even the seemingly
insignificant. One day, I was in a Yoruba native dress, with a cap which was rather big for my head, product of a tailor who was too generous with his fabric. When the President saw me, he said:"Adesina, this cap is too big." I was surprised at his attention to details. Or talk of Bayo Omoboriowo, the President's personal photographer.
Typical of his young age, Bayo loves multi-coloured socks, which may, or may not rhyme with the colour of his clothing.
And he would wear trousers that are several inches above his shoes, thus displaying Joseph's coat of many colours, which his socks are. That has become his trademark. And then comes in Bayo one day, donning sober socks like people of my generation would wear. To our amazement, President Buhari said:"Bayo, you are not wearing multi- coloured socks today. What happened?" General laughter.

In 1985, while he was military head of state, Nigeria won its first Under 17 World Cup title. Thirty years later, under President Buhari, Nigeria won the same laurel again. The day the trophy was handed over to him, the President admired it, turned it from side to side, and then
submitted:"Soccer loves me." Really true.

Those who think President Buhari is all iron and steel and nothing else have not experienced what I did in 2013. My mum had passed on, aged 75. We planned a commendation service for her in Lagos, and I had invited a number of people, Gen Buhari included. As I stayed with my siblings at the gate of the hall in Alausa, welcoming people, an SUV drove in. The door opened, and a man alighted. Who was he? "General, you are here!You came all the way from Kaduna!" I exclaimed. And he gave that smile that often makes him look like a child, without guile or trickery. Simple, trusting. He said it was his pleasure to come, and he sat through the Christian service. Didn't some people say he was a religious bigot? Bigotry sure needs to be redefined.

The same thing the President has done this week. Peter
Claver Oparah is a dyed-in- the-wool Buhari supporter. His mother died and was buried just yesterday in Imo State. When I told President Buhari that one of his most ardent supporters had lost the mother, he sympathized, did the family a condolence letter, which he personally signed. How very human!

Last Decembr, I told the President that it would be good if he made personal calls to some of his faithful supporters, to wish them a merry Christmas. He agreed. We compiled the names. Rev Moses Iloh. Rev Chris Okotie. Barrister Monday Ubani. Chief Duro Onabule. Gen Sam Momah (retd), and many others. The President spoke with them one after the other, laughing and making them laugh at the other end.
Then, he told me to include Dr Tunji Braithwaite in the list. I quickly called journalist and activist, Richard Akinnola, who gave me the man's number. The President and Dr Braithwaite talked for a very long time, and it was mirth all the way. They kept laughing. Unknown to the President, it was a valedictory call. When Braithwaite passed on about two months later, the President told me he was glad he had spoken to him that December night. It was their last conversation.

My sister, Professor Foluke Ogunleye, died in an auto crash Last December. The President read of the tragedy in the newspaper, and placed a call to me. He was quite sympathetic. It pacified me a great deal, and reduced my status as a wailing wailer.
Give me a stern President. We need such. But also give me a human and humane President. We equally need such. All these are embodied in Muhammadu Buhari, the man whose footprints would be indellible in the sands of time in Nigeria.

Come and move this to Front Page

Minister of Science and Technology, Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu says one of the agencies under his ministry has developed a pesticide that is very effective against tomato Pest Tuta absoluta which has recently ravaged tomato farms in Nigeria, causing tomato scarcity.
Onu made this known in Abuja on Friday in a meeting with a delegation from the KIDS-FEST who paid him a visit in his office. KIDs-Fest Foundation is part of a global project founded by a German woman named Sussane Prahl in Sarajevo over a decade ago.
According to the Minister, the National Institute for Chemical Technology, (NARICT) in Zaria developed the pesticide agent using natural resources available in Nigeria.


He said that the pesticide was a ready solution to the rampaging pest and that there was no reason whatsoever to “go outside the country to import a solution”.




“Nigeria, following the leadership provided by President Muhammadu Buhari will soon be in a position where other nations can copy from her rather than Nigeria copying at all times from other nations,” he stated.
