Baddestguyp:
I disagree. both parties are to blame

Explain

cuteboy2:
I really do not understand how using a public facility under control of a rival party confers political advantage to another party?
Perhaps someone can break it down for us.

APC has unrestrained access to use Eagle Square in Abuja, a federal govt facility, for her political rallies.

Tafa Balewa Square, another federal govt facility, Lagos has been used severally for APC political rallies and campaigns. Ambode's APC Lagos Governorship declaration was held there in November, 2014.

Our politicians must learn to be tolerant of each other. Tearing of opponents campaign bill boards, burning of party offices and vehicles, stoning of campaign convoys, shooting of party followers, and all sorts of intimidation methods, degrades and stymies our political maturity.

If things continue like this, soon rival parties will deny each use of Airports and roads built by each party. This new level of intolerance introduced in Rivers State is not helping our democracy.

According to what I heard, as at the time the stadium was built, money wasn't given to the state government, so there fight is that, they should use the other stadium which is in the heart of the city. Well let to me, he should have let them use it, and if he want to play politics, he should have carried heavy equipment and fake construction inside the stadium, #lobatan

#My opinion, sharing of un clad pix is a beautiful thing, let us leave religion out of it or morals behind it, we all don't realize that, girls are not the one that leak this pix or videos, rather is the immature guys. If you happen to receive one, it shouldn't be saved, and If you must save it, it should be hidden, there are apps that can do the work for you. So stop blaming the ladies if she thinks she's old enough to send an un clad pix to a/her guy, she should be matured enough to face the consequences. So for guys that do this. Grow up and for the ladies be smart.

I don't care, all I know is that, its a nice piece. Well done

like my dad will say, never borrow money to buy car or things that can be setroyed within a twinkle of an eye. sorry bro

shyna01:
fasting entails putting your flesh under... u can't do one and forgo other ways of crucifying your flesh.

we are saying the same thing

westmest:
You are made in the image of God and i cant rate the handiwork of God. But Guy you no try. Honestly, you cant be rated

oouchhh, bro you mean

i feel fasting doesnt have to be on food alone. coupes can use sex to fast, and individuals can use what they love most to fast. my opinion

i will induce my period and see what it feels like.

Fellow Nigerians, please note that the title of my
column today is written in the past tense. I must
confess that I did it deliberately for reasons I will
explain shortly. You probably remember an earlier
article titled WHO’S MISLEADING OUR PRESIDENT? I
had written too many unsolicited epistles in the past
advising our dear President free of charge. Those
accusing me of hating the President don’t know me. I
lack the capacity to hate anyone, not even my enemy.
It is sinful to hate your fellow human being. My
Christian faith teaches me to love my neighbours and
forgive those who trespass against me. I intend to
abide by those injunctions to the very end.
What is there to hate in President Goodluck Jonathan?
For me, he is a man richly blessed by God almighty.
He has achieved what no man would in many
lifetimes. His story is a stuff of fiction and fairytale. It
is a classic case of grass to grace or from a valley to
the mountain top. Every man should use Jonathan as
HIS prayer point/contact with God and seek his type of
uncommon favour. The depiction of his life’s
trajectory had resonated with many Nigerians. We
hoped and expected that he would know and
appreciate the meaning of poverty. Nigeria badly
needed a compassionate leader who would work for
the general people and not for a few privileged fat
cats.
We prayed and anticipated a relatively young and
educated gentleman to come in and fix our comatose
education. Dr Goodluck Jonathan fitted that bill almost
in surreal terms with his PhD. Who could have been
better suitable for such an onerous task if not
Jonathan? We believed that here finally was a man to
connect perfectly with the university eggheads and put
an end to the incessant closure of our institutions of
higher learning. But we were dead wrong. Our
universities went on indefinite strike and at the height
of this mutual madness, university lecturers who
refused to go back to work were pronounced sacked
with automatic alacrity.
Not even a military junta would have conjectured such
ribaldry but a democratically elected government led
by a former University Don not only envisioned it but
made it reality. Beyond that, the substantive Minister
of Education, a Professor in the person of Ruqayyah
Ahmed Rufa’i was replaced by the Minister of State for
Education, Nyesom Wike, a full-blown politician,
whose understanding of his remit was undoubtedly
suspect. It was a clear indication of how much disdain
the Federal Government has for Education.
The President who was projected as a man who grew
up without the basic necessities of life soon became a
high-flying, jet-setting impresario. In fact, his
government became so elitist that many started
wondering why a man from a pedigree of frugality
would become more flamboyant than any leader
before him. Our President travelled at the flimsiest
excuse. His unwieldy entourage, comprising of a
multitude of acolytes, became a subject of
international opprobrium. Yet the same government
insisted that Nigerians must forgo the nebulous
subsidy they had always enjoyed in varied forms in
the past. The subsidy itself was a grand scam with the
bill skyrocketing and quadrupling within the twinkle of
an eye. Yet the citizens were told to pay more for the
only semblance of privilege they should be enjoying.
The many mistakes of Jonathan are seemingly
endless. The President behaved not like a national but
a clannish Chieftain. It was as if he did not expect the
year of reckoning to arrive sooner rather than later. I
repeatedly warned against fighting on too many fronts
which no reasonable General would indulge in. I’m yet
to understand the logic behind alienating the rest of
the nation as if their votes would never be needed.
This is the most unfortunate attitude that led to what
has become the President’s albatross today.
Nothing has redefined this government than the
seeming nonchalance of President Jonathan to the
spate of Killings in Northern Nigeria. Thousands of
our brothers and sisters have been massacred like
locusts and the response from government has
become too predictable and totally insensitive. The
standard practice is for the Presidential spokesman to
come out with a cut and paste template of
regurgitated message of alleged sadness and
sympathy filled with empty promises that won’t be
kept. And then, life continues as normal with no sign
of the monumental tragedy being addressed. No
matter the number of the dead, our government goes
ahead with whatever jamboree it has already planned.
The latest PR disaster comes with the President
offering condolences to the French Government
following the Charlie Hebdo tragedy which led to the
death of 17 French citizens whilst almost 2000 people
were killed in Baga at about the same time without
attracting even the slightest whimper from our dear
President. Even the “Super” Minister Ngozi Okonjo-
Iwealla succumbed to this fawning tribute of the
‘whiteman’ forgetting the massacre at home. The
Government was #JesuisCharlie, when it should have
been. #AllforBaga! I urge Nigerians to let this
Government know that Nigerians are also important
even if we empathise with others.
Our President has never been able to mobilise and
galvanise the people into coming together to fight a
common enemy. The fact that every occurrence is
suspected as an act of political opponents has made it
difficult and almost impossible to rise up to some of
the debilitating challenges we face today.
There are not many people in the world who don’t feel
terribly sad about our condition. The Western media
has virtually written us off as a nation of violent
vandals and vampires. So many reporters visiting
Nigeria openly wonder if we actually have blood
flowing through our veins. Many have concluded that
we are just incapable of caring for those in need. The
abduction of over 200 Chibok girls is what has
exposed the type of leadership we are forced to live
with. Our next door neighbour, Cameroon, has shown
a greater capacity to fight terrorism than us. Their
military has been motivated in a way that they’ve
carried out kamikaze raids on dangerous hideouts.
They have been able to rescue their people from
captivity while we have suffered too many setbacks
and casualties.
Since the disappearance of the Chibok girls all we’ve
been told is the Government is working very hard.
Worse still, more people have since disappeared or
been murdered yet the news about them at home is
usually scanty. We rely on foreign organisations for
any useful information. Even the foreign media is
endlessly frustrated by the trouble of getting
government sources to open up and give clear
answers to questions.
But politics appears to be more important to our
leaders. Our civilians and military are being
slaughtered like Salah rams and we don’t seemed
bothered. Nothing is likely to beat the type of disgrace
we’ve suffered in the past one week. It is no longer
news that the map of Nigeria has been boldly
redesigned by daredevil terrorists; the dastardly
attack on Baga and Doron Baga last week was the
height of it. There are vivid reports indicating that
about 2,000 or more died from the indiscriminate
shooting by assailants believed to be Boko Haram.
Satellite images revealed that over 3,700 structures
were damaged.
As usual, our government said the story was
exaggerated and that the number of those killed could
not have been more than 150. Even if true, how a
country remains so calm and unperturbed by such
degree of wanton destruction of lives and properties
remains a mystery to me. Again, we all carried on as
normal until BBC, Sky and CNN opened fire on our
country. I could not bring myself to watch some of the
reports to the very end out of a sense of collective
guilt and shame. Once again, we were in the news for
the wrong reasons.
Suddenly things began to happen in Abuja. Our
President’s handlers must have sensed danger with
elections a month away. Nobody could afford this type
of scandal at this auspicious time. The President who
could not find time or the courage to visit the war
ravaged parts in the recent past, especially Chibok,
now found the time to go to Maiduguri but not Baga. It
is a however too little and too late. It confirmed the
people’s impression that the President would do
almost anything to remain in power. It is such a poor
image of who we are. A little effort from our leaders
would probably have reduced this tension.
There is nothing more disheartening than watching
our soldiers, reduced to emotional wrecks while
speaking to foreign journalists. Some are claiming
how miserable life has become for those expected to
safeguard us. They are ill-equipped, ill-motivated, and
ill-protected. One of them said he had to pay to
obtain his uniform. I’m sorry, I just can’t get it. It all
sounds like tales by moonlight. What happened to all
the fat allocations in our defence budgets? I
remember the President asking and getting the Senate
to approve N1billion loan to buy ammunition to fight
Boko Haram.
I’m tempted to suspect that there are people who are
deliberately deceiving and misleading our President.
The confession that he gets conflicting and
contradictory advice should demonstrate clearly why
we are in this mess. I can see how this has now put so
much pressure on the President. The tempo of his
campaign has become racy because of the realisation
that this election will not be a walkover.
But I doubt if those mistakes can be corrected in just
one month leading to the election. The President has
been sold too many lies because he chose to be a
psychedelic leader than a man of the people politician
who would personally supervise some of the work his
aides claimed they have done. He would have been
shocked to see the quality of what he’s promoting as
uncommon Transformation Agenda. Most of those
achievements would have been seen as fake, poor,
and abandoned projects.
The Murtala Muhammed International Airport
remains one of the worst in the world despite the
cosmetic renovation that took place at God knows how
much. If in doubt, I can give a quick rundown: very
terrible air-conditioning, archaic elevators, leaking
roofs, lack of car parks next to the airport,
cumbersome immigration process (the only country
with double screening, Immigration and DSS), too
many uniformed agents dipping hands into your
luggage at this time and age, poor roads welcoming
visitors going out of the airport, the list is endless.
So much has been said about roads. Nigeria still has
some of the most useless roads in Africa. Most of
those under rehabilitation have nowhere near
completion. The Benin-Shagamu road is a veritable
example. What is the purpose of rehabilitating only a
part of it? That road remains a nightmare as does the
Lagos-Ibadan which remains not only a nuisance to
everyone but a death trap. It is strange how a
government can make so much fuss over many
uncompleted projects nationwide. Much has been
said about the East-West road but like others, it has
remained a work in progress. The second Niger
Bridge has become a butt of jokes. I love the idea of
trains but the government should have invested in
modern coaches and certainly more than a single
gauge line even if it has to find private investors. This
would have complemented the good job done so far.
I have read so much about Agriculture and would love
to applaud the dream of the Minister but I reserve
that for another day as I don’t know where and how he
assembled his 10-14 million farmers and how it has
impacted on our food production and distribution.
This government has not justified the huge resources
made available to it. Those days are gone when
people would have glossed over some of the
excesses. The social media has changed the world for
good or for bad. Nigerians are not asking for too
much. They are not even looking for saints as their
leaders but they want men and women who are less
greedy and more caring. Unfortunately, they’ve
searched in vain for too long and it seems there is no
end to this misery.
This is why in frustration they have turned to a man
who left power 30 years ago, General Muhammadu
Buhari. No one should blame us. It is in the character
of human beings to run to the elders of the house in
the days of tribulations. Everywhere you turn today
what you hear is the cry of change. A wife rejected has
suddenly become the beautiful bride in retrospect. Let
no one envy Buhari because it is not his fault if those
handed power on a platter of gold trampled on it.
From what I see and feel, Buhari’s time has come and
he looks unstoppable. People are simply tired of being
lied to and they want to use someone as scape-goat.
Sadly, President Jonathan is the one they see in front
of them and it is a cross he has to carry like a man.
Those who misled him are just waiting for their flights
to a safe haven leaving him alone and forlorn. Such is
life.

@Emmaesty why you dey spoil market for a brother na

Though about the fact that you ll probably see
this article one day, because you be obsessed with
me and want to cyber stalk me, obviously. (You
probably just rolled your eyes at me as you read that).
Anyway, listen up, Nne my Olomi. I have a few things to say to
you:

1. I forgive you for rolling your eyes at my comment a few lines up, but I never forget. Which is why I’m not putting out the night that you read this.

2. ^ LOL JK

3. If you read this during a time when I haven’t kissed you yet, don’t worry, it’s just because you’re so pretty that I’m scared to be that close to your face.

4. If you read this during a time when I have already
kissed you, it’s because I decided that being that
close to your face was the most necessary thing ever, so I got brave.

5. It is always your turn to do the dishes.

6. It is always your turn to take out the trash.

7. We can both do the laundry, I guess.

8. Hey, can we get a Dog ? *Rolling Eyes

9. When we fight, I won’t be able to function as a
human being until I make things better. Also, me
“making things better” will probably always involve
King Sunny Ade lyrics.

10. I’m sorry that sometimes I do things to purposely
get on your nerves because I think it’s funny… sorry
that I’m NOT sorry haha good one, right?

11. I promise to never stop taking you Malls, cinemas or all your stuffs. *finger cross

12. You’re going to have to watch my favorite movies
about a million times and when my favorite team is playing and for that I apologize, but I
hope you’ll make me watch yours, too.

13. Have I cooked for you yet? I have plans to learn
how to cook for you, so just bear with me.

14. You will never have to worry about me with
another girl, because I will probably be obsessed
with you and think that you’re perfect.

15. I can’t wait for the moment when you do or say
something that makes me realize you’re NOT perfect.
That’s probably when I’ll decide that learning about
your imperfections is the only thing I want to do for
the next 60 years or so.

There are a lot of other things I’d like to say to you
now that you’re reading this, but mostly, I want you
to know that I was thinking of only you on this crazy
awesome day that is bringing us a little bit closer to
one another.

Love,
Your boo

PS. Will you make me spaghetti for dinner tonight or
no?

There is this video going viral about a maid who beat up the child under her care so badly for puking. I think this is every parent's worse nightmare. What is your take on it. I wish to share some parenting tips to keep track of your domestic workers! Let's share please! my fellow working mum friends call maids, necessary devils!

One thing came to my mind, everybody is talking about how inhuman she is to the baby, but fail to see from the view of how the maid is been treated, of course that doesn't justify her actions, like I said its inhuman, and if she's isn't treated in a bad manner and does that to the baby, she deserves to die

Latest on the evil housemaid from Uganda: Now confined to a wheelchair after been thoroughly beaten by the baby's dad.Also arrested by the police and will be charged to court for child battering and attempted murder.

Seriously, she deserves life imprisonment with hard labour with no parole. If she can do that to a baby, imagine what she can do to an adult if given the chance

If your swearing in is on the day you will end your work, i advise you wait till you are through before reporting in camp because people were allowed into camp on the day of our swearing in and after. But you have to be extra careful because there is problem on ground which led to a peaceful protest yesterday and its causing tension on camp.

The whole tension has come down, like the guy said, just do what u have to do, and by saturday or sunday u can come in.

DinhoMVP:
I have a job to do on those days and I have already been paid for it...is dat a good enough reason or I should just lie dat I wanna go get my certs I forgot...I'm a terrible liar tho would be caught easily cos I don't know how to lie boldly

Lol, I wouldn't know about that, but I think u can even come in on sunday sef, if that's the case, but once u are in, going out is a problem.

DinhoMVP:
Please can I leave camp For a day or two? I live in PH and I'm engaged for the 27th & 28th which is a day after camp resumes I intend to get to nonwa very early on 26th so I can be through wt my registration sleep over and leave camp on the 27th for my appointment to return on saturday...how do I go about it

Once u are in, its almost impossible to go out, of course unless you have someone or a strong reason. Its only pregnant women, nursing mothers or married women that such provision is made for

trendiitee:
platoon kwa? Na stream 2 I dey ooo. so no platoon yet

Lol, taught u were in camp already. I will send u a PM

trendiitee:
check my profile pics nd draw ur conclusion. how re u dis morning?

Hmmmm, seen, but not clear but can see a little, am doing good, how are you too and which platoon are you?
