If only the populace could be half as cunny/deceptive as these our brand of politicians, Nigeria would be a better place.

As dem talk, "cunny man die, cunny man bury am".

Of course, what was anyone thinking; that alcohol will flow freely like water? Besides, both families are Moslems & if only for the optics, shayo will not be on cards.

How you even imagined that a scenario in 1984 aptly fits into today's world beats my own imagination.

Again, whether Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is in Ghana or anywhere else, dead or alive, how does that affect the current hardships confronting majority of Nigerians??

EternalTruths:
Buhari once attempted to kidnap Dikko in London.

So tell Buhari to attempt another again against KANU if truly he is in Ghana.

One minute y'all believe the DSS is this sophisticated agency that can plan & successfully execute an interdiction on foreign soil & the next minute, it's a "Daura-controlled" (no pun) ineffective organisation.

FYI, the mandate of the DSS doesn't include extraditing or "kidnapping" wanted persons on foreign soil.

EternalTruths:
Nnamdi KANU is in Ghana and the DSS has not organized a secret kidnapping of him.?

Which school did your father sent you to.?

Go and retrieve your school fees.

America; God's own country indeed. You're in Florida & want to shoot up your school but under the age limit to own a gun, just wait till you're 21.

You're a teacher & probably having personal issues that makes you hear voices in your head & conjures dark images before your very own eyes, you now have the authorisation to carry a gun to the classroom & just set it off, classic psycho style.

America would rather see the earth turn crimson red with blood than alter the second amendment, which gives citizens the right to keep and bear Arms.

We choose to believe what we want to believe when it fits into our predetermined narrative. We, however, pick holes when that belief doesn't align with our narrative.

One day, SR is hailed when the news fits our narrative; other days it gets bashed when the news it publishes doesn't fit it.

If The Cable had reported, citing security agencies as the source that herdsmen have been heavily armed & given official cover to infiltrate a section of the country to unleash mayhem or that Aisha Buhari was caught receiving expensive gifts/cash from some persons or even that Nnamdi Kanu was indeed killed & was buried at a secret location by the authorities, most won't ask for pictures or even query this report as they are doing now.

Bottom line, a Nigerian (Igbo) lady sometime last November on her Facebook wall claimed to have encountered Mazi Nnamdi Kanu on the streets of Ghana when he purportedly went to get Pizza; this was even before anyone ever conceived that the IPOB leader may still be alive & laying low somewhere. Some of her friends on Facebook didn't believe her while others did.

Whether the IPOB leader is alive & in Ghana or anywhere else for that matter hasn't brought down the skyrocketing cost of goods & services. Whether this report is fake news or not doesn't stop the cabal around PMB from continuing with their evil machinations against the country & its peoples. Believe what you want, it doesn't change the current realities on ground.

The story just get contradiction...

Lomprico2:
No be u type this one ni?

I usually don't say this but you sound confused... Really.

In one breath you regale us with how you love her & she knows it but you don't know if she feels the same way about you.

In another breath, you also said she was heartbroken when you told her you were tired of "this relationship". Pls what relationship are you talking about here? The one where you wear your love for the girl on your forehead but can't tell if she even has any ounce of feelings for you??


Nonetheless, there's no easy way to break up a relationship. You've told her once you've other priorities that doesn't include her & understandably she feels bad about. You feel bad too & that's only natural now get over those guilt feelings & move on with your life or rather focus on your studies.

On second thoughts I'm constrained to suspect the roles are actually reversed; she dumped you & feels bad about it but you're heartbroken & can't seem to get over her since you already stated that you're the one in love but you can't speak to her own feelings for you.

Good luck with getting over your heartbreak!

My own interview is scheduled for tomorrow at the Zaria branch of the bank but I've decided not to attend. Me & marketing are like oil & water; we don't mix. Besides, I know how demanding bank marketing job can be, it's not for the fainthearted or those without the requisite skills/connection to bring in the monthly targets.

I just registered on naijabet & I must say the process of funding account is disappointing. Tried the ATM Card 2, it appears it works for only GTB issued cards as I received a "Kreative Integrated Concepts & Management Limited currently does not accept your card type". The ATM Card 1 option, which appears to be a Fidelity Bank payment gateway, wasn't responsive as it keeps loading without any result and my network is superb.

Unfortunately, I don't.

Etienz:
Thanks, Pls do u knw their target per month?

The pay is 50k + commission.

The truth is PMB may or might not win in 2019 depending on a combination of factors. That being said, he is the candidate to beat; in spite of the hardships currently being experienced in the country under his leadership.

In the North (Northwest & Northeast), he is going to sweep the votes there. Forget what anybody tells you. Even Chief Dele Momodu in one of his Pendulum columns once averred that Buhari is the most popular Northern politician alive & it would be difficult for a fellow northerner to floor him at the polls. He even went ahead to suggest fielding a competent & mass appealing candidate from the South to run against the incumbent in 2019.

In the North Central, which voted en mass for PMB in 2015, the same may not play out in 2019 due largely to how the incumbent has so far handled the herdsmen/farmers clash. However, this "revenge" vote may play out mostly in Benue & Plateau. As for Nasarawa, Niger, Kogi & Kwara (depending on where Saraki decides to pitch his tent), they'll queue behind Buhari.

In the South, I foresee voter apathy especially in the South east & some parts of South south. However, should these two geo-political zones decide to vote, they'll split between PDP, APC & perhaps APGA. Most of the votes there will however go to PDP, which will most definitely field a Northern candidate. The agitation for secession & generally apathy towards the North in the South east, with spillover effects in the South south informed my earlier prediction of lesser voters turnout.

Again, this is where the South west holds the trump card; the voters there are very unpredictable. Depending on how the opposition plays its cards & what PMB is able to achieve in that region before 2019 (completion of Lagos-Ibadan expressway & the rail line among other capital projects) will go a long way in deciding where the votes will swing.

In conclusion, my fear & those of others about PMB contesting in 2019 is borne from the strong belief that he will win should he throw his hat in the ring. With what his first four years has brought on Nigerians (hardships, nepotism, wider division along ethnic & religious lines, corruption & crass ignorance of modern day methods of governance among others), it's unimaginable what his second coming will wrought upon us hence the plea he should step aside. Na beg we dey.

As for those shouting about getting their PVCs, those you call almajiris & illiterates have gotten theirs since & are waiting to cast their votes for PMB & even 'die' for him, if need be. Are you willing to do same for the candidate of your conviction? Watch how INEC will frustrate many who are willing to register & get their PVCs. Oh! I forgot, they've already started frustrating us already.

Gov. Shettima's claim on Christian/Southern Army Commanders doing more in the war against Boko Haram than their Muslim/Northern counterparts deserves to be dissected by the intelligence agencies. His assertion further fuels speculation that some elements in the security agencies are sympathetic to the terrorists' extremist campaigns in the Northeast.

"A hostel mate, who also confirmed the incident, said the deceased’s roommate had been arrested by men of the Delta State Police Command for interrogation". �

That part of the report got me wondering what we did to deserve the type of police we've in this country. What crime did the roommate commit to warrant her 'arrest?'

The OP that posted this 'news' needs to do better with gathering information. How can "issabanger" by D'banj feature Uhuru? No, na Kenyatta. Plus "senrere" is Skales feat. D'banj not the other way round.

You could've just congratulated the ladies without attaching ethnic sentiments to their achievements. I wonder if there's a medal for being a tribal bigot online or in real life. Meanwhile, the other lady is actually Oluwabunmi Ijelu. No other ethnic champion should try to appropriate her please. They're NIGERIANS, simple!

I know, right?

Okay, I know it might not be a big deal but watching a Hollywood film with a star-studded cast and Nigeria portrayed as playing an important role, looks like something worth cheering.

I've seen some episodes of Hollywood series where Nigeria is showcased in not so good light especially where terrorists/terrorism is involved but in this particular movie, I was glad to see that among the set of people at the NASA Space Station working to save the world from catastrophic climate conditions, was a Nigerian character 'Adisa' actually played by Adepero Oduye.

Though I'm yet to finish watching the film, I felt a tinge of pride seeing the Nigerian flag among other countries' flags working together to keep the world safe.

Incase you haven't seen Geostorm, it's a movie released in October 2017 and parades stars like Gerard Butler, Ed Harris, Jim Sturgess, Andy Garcia, Daniel Wu, Abbie Cornish and Richard Schiff among others.

See some pictures I was able to screenshot from the movie.

Daviddson:
Politics of who you know. Kaduna has been enjoying some very good things since Buhari came on board. I know the plan to build these dry ports predated this administration, but why should Kaduna's be the first to be completed? Why not Funtua or Ibadan or Aba? Why should the Kaduna railway also be the first to be completed if not because of Elrufai's closeness to Buhari. I know Amaechi is in charge, but these observations shouldn't be discarded just like that. I mean no harm.

I'm sure you read the news report and saw where the president urged other concessionaires to speed up work on their own inland dry ports?

As for the Abuja-Kaduna train, that was already ongoing and had achieved appreciable level of completion before the present administration finished it & just yesterday, increased number of locomotives and coaches.

But of course, you can't take away the fact that Kaduna is dear to Buhari's heart & Gov. El-rufai knows how to get the President's attention.

PapaBrowne:
I am glad they bought new locomotives! It was needed as that route was running just two trains daily which was terribly inadequate.


Now this is my take...

Jonathan spent 4 years and completed this train line. He also completed the Abuja light rail to 68% completion as Buhari acknowledged in his new year day speech. He also went pretty far with the new airport terminals at the Abuja, Lagos and Enugu airports.


My question to you Buhari, which project will you hand over to the new government coming in in 2019 as it certain you are not coming back.
All the things you listed on new years day that you want to start doing, is it in 2018 election year that you will give out the contract or were you hoping that despite your terrible perfomamnce you would be voted back in 2019?

You budgeted a total of N4 trillion in 2016(N1.8T) and 2017(N2.2T) for capital projects. That is a whooping $13 billion. That money would have built us 2600km of rail lines at the price which Jonathan used in building the Abuja -Kaduna rail. It cost $875 million to build the rail line of 195km. That is an average of $4.48 million per km.

Or for better comparison, the Lekki Ikoyi link bridge was N29 billion. 4 Trillion Naira would have built 137 of such massive bridges.

But you know what, there isnt anywhere in the country where 100km of road have been completed since you came in. Where has all that money(N4 Trillion) gone to.

Beautiful analysis but you sound as if the entire N4trn allocated to capital projects for the years 2016 and 2017 were indeed released but not used for the purpose they were meant for. It's another argument entirely if we ask why wasn't the total sum released as at when due or that which was released, how well was/is it utilized.

Unfortunately, that's the situation we find ourselves; choosing between the devil and deep blue sea.Nonetheless, I concur with your submission that 2019 is Buhari's to either win or lose.

Mynd44:
When I tell people that Presidnet Buhari has the NE locked even if Atiku runs they say it is a lie.

No matter who contests, Buhari will get about 80-85% of the votes from the NE and 75% of NW. He will probably get 50% of the NC.

With these numbers, it will take a miracle for him to lose in 2019.

Which leads me to say Although President Buhari has not done enough to merit a second term, he will win the elections in 2019.

Lovely. Every region of this country has what it takes to become a better place; the potentials just have to be fully developed.

Sell 9mobile to Glo abi na slow and watch the network die a slow and painful death. If I'd my way, I'd sell 9mobile to Smile.

During rainy season when the dam is "full" that circle that appears like a funnel receives the "excess" water; lovely experience especially when you hear the sound of rushing water but it can also be scary. I remember my first time inside that small building. By the way, that small building used to serve as a rendezvous for lovers back in the day; the inner walls are filled with various inscriptions, mostly names of visitors. You may hit me up OP anytime you're not busy and have time to 'burn'. I'm in Samaru.

True eh! This post is over a year but it just made FP; Wow! What's gonna be is gonna be...

Very imposing property; you can't fail to notice it due to its strategic location on Gana Street (opp. Transcorp Hilton), Maitama.

I was wondering if the same person owns an almost similar property somewhere in Kaduna (not sure the precise location again) but I think it's on the left before NEPA r/about if you're coming from Kawo. This particular structure is also located close to a r/about.

Same here. Been using the code since August or there about when it was still in "testing" stage. Guess the test is over now hence the public rollout.
P.S: I stopped using the USSD code to check my bank account balance due to the charge it incurs from my account; is this still the norm or they've stopped charging for that particular service?
And yes, this service has a daily max transfer cap of 20k.

RitzyPrince:
not new though. been using this for a very long time.

Don't you just love the type of democracy the U.S and other civilized countries practice? Who dash monkey banana to even do backflip when "ordinary" IGP convoy dey pass by talk more of riding keke closely and flipping the middle finger?

Lordygram:
what are the criterials that were followed, for given her the role as an ambassador? "I am seeing something like end poverty... How can you give a woman that dont have a charity organization, she dont contribute to charity funds or help those homeless people affected by war, floods and natural disasters... She has no records of charity to her activities..... I am not hating but ladies like yemi alade, guys like 2face and other people that has help in given financial assistance to homeless camps, deserve that role.

Omotola doesn't do charity? Doesn't have a foundation dedicated to alleviating poverty? Your comment smacks of crass ignorance.

Modified

I'll assume you were probably referring to the other equally hardworking ladies - not Omotola - but even if that were the case, what makes you think they're not involved in one charity or the other? Just because people do charity below media coverage doesn't mean they're not involved in their own little ways. We should learn to appreciate the 'little' drops others contribute that make up the ocean of assistance.

IGP Idris maybe due for sack over any number of reasons but to claim that one of such is his aloofness to the purported slaughtering of Christians in Churches by "Muslim fanatics" in Zaria is a fabrication. I was born, raised and currently reside in Samaru, Zaria and can say authoritatively, nothing of such occurred; at least not in recent years. And FYI, the so-called fanatics here don't slaughter, they simply douse with petrol and set ablaze while locking everyone in.
