9ja_I_hail: I can see the bolded part really hurt you to bone.. After all the much self acclaimed the most educated region in Nigeria, What useful purpose do it serve in Nigeria growth as a nation. Rather you all went to universities to studied how to be professional thief's and corrupt fellows. Do i need to mention how many of your kits/kins who was convicted for embezzling public funds? The triblistic idio't call femi kayode still battling with EFCC hopefully they convict him soon so the number will keep increasing.

I am not mocking you guys for being poor neither do i celebrate you guys for inheriting cowardice in your region, i am only reacting to one of a chest beater like you who kept bugging us with insignificant development in south west. Abi una own development na for in invisible world e dey?

see this illegal alien biafran talking. U PPL don tire me o.SA don't want una, same for Singapore, even India too. To make matters worse, common Kenya dey deport una. Biafrans and drugs are Siamese twins. They MUST hammer by all means before xmas so they can show off in the village. Once I was interviewing for a driver. The boy test drove the car well but soon as he told me his name was something chukwu, I just dash him 500 naira never to come back again. Biafrans eyes r too red for money. U see them kidnap their own mothers and fathers. Can't wait for Dem to form the republic of cocaine biafra

Monimatic: APC is Dead on Arrival(DOA) in Anambra and South East Nigeria!!!!

Nigige,Rochas can not deliver the South Eastern Votes for APC, their popularity is diminishing every day.
Tinubu, Buhari, IBB, Northern Governors are fighting a lost battle in the South East, which is a safe heaven for GEJ votes in 2015.
Hate it or Love it.
PDP or APGA or LP will win the Anambra Governorship election later this year. APC will experience the same kind of defeat they expereinced in ondo state.
And if Nigige should bring Tinubu, fashola, buhari. down to Anambra during his campaign, expect more stonings, and expect the margin of his defeat to increase and expect his popularity to plunge further, cos we all know an average igbo man at the moment sees Tinubu, Fashola and Buhari as an enemy to the igbo race, they would reject Tinubu propaganda,lies and conspiracies like they rejected him during the ondo state governorship election.
HATE IT OR LOVE, NGIGE, APC and the North have already lost the south east(igbo) votes even before the Anambra Governorship election later this year and the Presidential election in 2015!!!

see biafrans ranting. A total non entity in nigerian political landscape. No matter who you dumwit vote for, he will be non performing like the others before him. Maybe fraudster Ifeany uba or soludo. U guys should just go ur way Jor

bakynes: I like what one igbo guy said,sentiments asides this man is a visionary leader nt because am yoruba bt this man has what it takes to lead Nigeria.How many times are we going to tell the igbos that he did the resettlement tin to destitutes regardless of the tribe.Other tribes including Yoruba were involved in the resettlement.Abi what's the use of Sleeping under the bridge in lagos,cooking and washing ur clothes under d bridge if living in lagos is nt working for you go back to your village nw @ least u ve shelther over your head there.Many just want to come to lagos to pose to their village friends.Igbos should stop this unneccessary hatred for Gov.Fashola,normal hardworking igbos are still doin their business in lagos no one is driving them away.Come 2015 all hands on deck we must vote Gov.Fashola as president.if igbos still continue with their hate Yoruba,Hausa and some other tribes vote is enough to win the Election.GEJ has done nothing nw sentiments aside,Many yorubas voted for GEJ bt he is nt doing anything no single noticeable achievement.we want a better life bt we nt voting the right leaders.

thank you o, I still don't understand why these PPL are still ranting. Haven't you heard that RESETTLEMENT has been done in many other states for years even fashola got back some lagosians from akwa Ibom recently without crying like a baby ?that is what real leaders do. And other states have honored Lagos state's invitation of resettling their PPL since 2 years now. Obi was caught napping and now crying foul. Can someone pls tell these Biafrans that this action have been going on between state governments peacefully for years? Blame your underachieving leaders and please advise them to attend to the issue of drug smugglers always coming from Biafra. And I am even yoruba

readonenaire: If he is ready to
compromise just to buy the interest of the north
because of his party, we will not allow him to
destroy the hope of the Yoruba race. You can’t be
portraying yourself as leader of OPC and working
against the interest of Oodua. is it not the same message for Amaechi? .... Drama continues

dummy, ameachi is a politician and fasheun is not. Ode

Sincere 9gerian: There's nothing as sweet as being on the side of the WINNING TEAM. I have NEVER supported any Nigeria politician (at the federal level) all my life. GEJ is the first and maybe the last.

I fell in love with GEJ from day one and the rest is history. The turning point was his sacking of Prof Maurice Iwu (I so much hated that man) and bringing on board of Prof Jega. I knew without doubt that ANY politician who insists (in deeds and words) on credible elections MUST perform.

All the while, I had no doubt that GEJ would deliver and would eventually become the FATHER of modern Nigeria. I was abused, blackmailed, persecuted, prosecuted, cursed, insulted and almost killed on NL for staying with my convictions. But day after day, my position is being vindicated.

I have been accused of being a paid agent. But that is a baseless accusation. I'm not being paid. Besides the fact that I ENJOY the fight that goes on here, my positions are born out of SINCERE convictions and GOOD conscience. Not that it is wrong or bad to be paid but the TRUTH is that I'm not being paid.

Also, I have no doubt my pay or rewards will come in the railway projects that will SOON be completed and commissioned across the country, the improving quality of federal roads, the Second Niger Bridge, Enugu International Airport, improved quality of the health sector, stable power supply,etc. For me, those are the things that matter.

By the way, I've been a fan of Barca for over 6yrs now so I know how it feels to be with a WINNING TEAM.

FRESH AIR everywhere you turn!

but wait o, how can you bring in an electoral chairman by yourself. Someone that's supposed to be a neutral body. This is never in any civilised country. Definitely Whomever you bring will favor you.

I need someone that can write a comprehensive and detailed feasibility study. Perfect English is a plus. Pls contact me. Info.zaranne@gmail.com

o'boy:
the way our sw brothers especially celebrities rush to wed our sisters is becoming annoying these days,am not a tribalist though

Lagos is cosmopolitan. Some of these Eastern girls speak better Yoruba than yoruba girls. Some cant even speak igbo.

Goddex: Even the trick here is to make Iyaloja a family thing so that when this her daughter dies, Lagosians will still be expected to look among the Tinubu family for replacement. The greedy con-man is playing on our sensibilities.

so sad, can you imagine that she said she relocated back to Nigeria 6 years ago?

Moral of the story is, everyone has understanding of what's sexy so it should be respected. For me, I don't like lepa but I respect whoever does. Some of these guys hating on the lady are short/fat themselves or their mother is. So there you go.

obadiah777: SO YOU ARE COMFORTABLE WITH DYING FOR YOUR MASSA ? LWTMB

massa treats him wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better than father. Sad isn't it? Do your thing brother.

effisyman: Lavishing money on things that will not benefit his state, and will be praised for it.

while his mate is building world class schools.

Van snickers: I'm not a Homosexual, I'm not even Bi-sexu@l. I'm just against people maltreating Homosexuals just because they are different. Call me Gay all you want, I don't give a Sh1t. I still Screw more girls in a week than you'll screw in three years.

LIAR!!!. That's the first clue to know you are gay or have tendencies . Over-compensating on your sexual prowess.

Kenyanstar: KENYA AND ITS SUPERIOR MILITARY MIGHT...

I would not like to under estimate Nigeria and Nigerian's in anyway but comparing it to Kenya in military parlance is taking a joke too far. Kenyan's military presence has and will only be for the betterment and enhancement of East and
Central Africa's security concerns. [url]https://www.nairaland.com/51356/nairobi-photos-kenya-beautiful-east/133 [/url] . The Kenyan state and its security apparatus is equal to non in Africa considering the fact that it has single handedly fought off the terrorism and decay in government security in Somalia. It has managed in liberating what was thought to be impossible to be achieved. Currently the development being witnessed in Somalia is significant in that it might end up overtaking countries like Nigeria due to its strategic location as the horn of Africa. Kenya is home to millions of refugees who have been displaced by war. Victims from as far as Rwanda, Uganda, Angola, Somalia, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Eritrea, South Sudan, Sudan and Chad have found refuge and security in Kenya due to their internal conflicts. The UNHCR has estimated that thousands of Nigerians are in Kenya either seeking asylum or living illegally. Kenya is doing far better in economic terms compared to Nigeria with Kenya boasting of the best infrastructure which includes a very good road network.... https://www.nairaland.com/51356/nairobi-photos-kenya-beautiful-east/128 . I dont want to brag but despite you guys boasting of the millions of dollars you get from oil revenue, how much actually benefits the common man in Nigeria. You can even go the step further and suggest that a single state in Nigeria has the GDP of Kenya. But can you compare that with what Kenya has enhanced with the little it gets. Britain has no Oil but it is far Richer than Nigeria. UAE has no oil but in only a decade it has managed to prove that with sustainability you can surpass expectations of other countries.
TO THOSE WHO STILL DOUBT THAT KENYA IS A COUNTRY ECONOMIC MOBILITY CAN CHECK FOR THEMSELVES.... https://www.nairaland.com/51356/nairobi-photos-kenya-beautiful-east

I wonder why the KENYAN currency is stronger than Nigerian currency... giANT of Africa indeed!!!!!!

who the Bleep is the charcoal Dude, na picture we go chop?though I agree with the aspect of our leaders not using our money right. Kenya military? I laugh. Pls go and check the CIA fact book. Kenya? 1 in every two westerner haven't heard of Kenya, oh but for those ugly looking black marathoners.

Kenyanstar: Those hating KENYANS for being what they love and enhancing their culture are just being ignorant of the fact that Kenya is way better than they can ever be..... Having a space program or whatever you suggest as car assembly factory, what value does manufacturing add to the common man's state of affairs. Kenya and the people of this beautifull people and its government are rebuilding the country to prosperity for the benefit of its future generations.... take a look,

dummy, pictures don't say much. Tourism is kenyas main source of foreign exchange so all those PICS are for that reason. You cannot compare Kenya to Nigeria on an international level. If any happens in sub saharan Africa, 2 countries will be consulted first. SA and Nigeria, end of story.

sucess001: Nigeria’s Central Bank Governor, Sanusi, Unable To Shake Off Sex Scandal As More Evidence Surface

Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, Nigeria’s Central Bank Governor, appears unable to shake off a report that he funneled public funds to Maryam Yaro, a married mistress whom he gave a job at the bank he oversees.


Premium Times was first to report the scandal in which Mr. Sanusi was accused of abusing his office in order to advance an amorous relationship with a woman.

Several sources told SaharaReporters that Premium Times has been under intense pressure from associates of the CBN Governor since the expose was published. In the wake of the report, the CBN also issued a widely circulated rebuttal claiming that Ms. Yaro was never a staff of the bank, that she was employed at Nigeria Incentive-based Risk Sharing Systems For Agricultural Lending (NIRSAL), and that the governor had no hand in her recruitment.

But records obtained by SaharaReporters suggest that the bank’s claims are an attempt to muddle up the facts. NIRSAL, to which Ms. Yaro is attached, is a special purpose vehicle (SPV) set up by the Federal Government through a partnership between the CBN and the Federal Ministry of Agriculture. Besides, the project is domiciled in the Development Finance Department of the CBN.
It is the CBN’s human resource department that hires staff for NIRSAL, and it is Mr. Sanusi who approves all recruitments into the agency, insiders say.

Records available to us indeed showed that, contrary to the CBN’s claims, Mr. Sanusi directly and personally approved Ms. Yaro’s recruitment.

Investigations by SaharaReporters revealed that, after approving Ms. Yaro’s hiring and sending her file back to the bank’s human resource department, Mr. Sanusi sent a message to his mistress on June 25, 2012 saying, “I’m in South Africa. I approved your recruitment last week.”

Ten minutes later, Ms. Yaro responded: “You have made my day. Thank you so much. Let me know when you are back.”

When the human resource department delayed in sending her appointment letter, Ms. Yaro contacted Mr. Sanusi to complain.

“I have not heard anything from CBN since you approved my recruitment,” she wrote in a July 9, 2012 message. “Is there anything I need to do?”

A source told SaharaReporters that, following her complaint, Mr. Sanusi contacted the CBN human resource department urging them to expedite action on her case.
Eight days later, on July 17, 2012, Ms. Yaro informed Mr. Sanusi that the human resource department had finally acted on his instruction.

“Allah nguro, I have been issued my letter of offer,” she said in a message. “Thank you so much. When can I come and see you?”

When she submitted her acceptance letter to human resource, Ms. Yaro promptly informed Mr Sanusi and thanked him again for helping her to get the job.

After Ms. Yaro assumed duties at the CBN headquarters in Abuja, the human resource department produced a business card for her. In it she was described as follows:  “Dr. Maryam W. Yaro, Nirsal Project Implementation Office (NPIO), Development Finance Department, Central Bank of Nigeria.”

Even the documents released by the CBN are clear as to whether Ms. Yaro could be regarded as a staff of the CBN, and whether the governor played a role in her recruitment.

For instance, official memos detailing the processes leading to her recruitment are marked “internal,” originating from NIRSAL to other units of the bank. Her appointment letter, written on CBN letterhead, was signed by Chizoba Mojekwu, director, human resources department of the bank.

The CBN’s so-called rebuttal did not say why its human resource director would sign an appointment letter for a staff or consultant of another agency independent of the bank.

In its rebuttal, the bank provided evidence of communications leading to Ms. Yaro’s employment in 2012, but provided none relating to any public announcement of the vacancy she filled. The law requires that such a post must be publicly announced to enable interested candidates to apply.

The details show that the bank treated Ms. Yaro’s employment expressly, with memos between NIRSAL office and CBN’s top management indicating how Mr. Sanusi endorsed her recruitment.

In one document seen by SaharaReporters, a helpless staff of the bank raised concern about Ms. Yaro’s recruitment. In a memo requesting Mr. Sanusi’s approval of the recruitment, the concerned staff minuted: “Please approve as prayed above. We should take into account diversity in future recruitment.”

In approving the recruitment, Mr. Sanusi dismissed the staff’s concern, and wrote: “Approved. I think gender is a good basis for diversity here and candidate is qualified.”

Ms. Yaro’s recruitment process took a matter of weeks, and she received her letter of offer in July 17, 2012 and promptly communicated same to the CBN boss while also informing him of her planned date of assumption of duties.

Some sources within the CBN suggested to SaharaReporters that some of the documents circulated by the CBN were forged and backdated as a face-saving measure. However, SaharaReporters was unable to independently confirm the allegation.

SaharaReporters learned that the details of the affair between Mr. Sanusi and Ms. Yaro have stirred anger and outrage within the bank and beyond. Critics have focused on the fact that Mr. Sanusi, a public officer, traveled on jets funded by taxpayers to keep appointments with Ms. Yaro at expensive hotels. Until this scandal broke, Mr. Sanusi was highly respected even if some of his policies, like doling cash to victims of terrorist attacks in Kano, were controversial.

Mr. Sanusi led revolutionary reforms in the banks when he came on board in 2009 and has remained critical and outspoken on several government policies despite serving in the administration. He has also repeatedly advocated adherence to the rule of law.

On the other hand, Mr. Sanusi has had his defenders. Many of these defenders have brushed aside glaring evidence of misconduct by Nigeria’s chief banker, instead accusing news reporters who worked on the story of witch-hunting Mr. Sanusi and attempting to defame him.

Senior officials of Premium Times said they expected the backlash, even as they stated that they stood firmly by their story. “We knew the story was going to shock a lot of people,” said Idris Akinbajo acting managing editor at the publication. “We were under no illusion that it would take a lot of time for many to swallow the bitter truth of the revelations made in the story.” He added, “We have discharged our responsibility of providing information we believe citizens need in order to hold officials accountable.

Mr. Akinbajo continued, “Our job is done, as we will only continue to provide additional information as necessary. It is left for Nigerians to either demand accountability or live without it – and so continue to celebrate the indiscretions of their leaders.”

The executive added: “We stand firmly by our story and look forward to the moment the CBN Governor will boldly look Nigerians in the face and say any of the things we reported did not happen.”

Mr. Akinbajo continued, “Our job is done, as we will only continue to provide additional information as necessary. hmmmmm, Sanusi better keep quiet, they more info on him, trust me.

Policewoman: AND SO BLOODY WHAT? As a muslim he is entitled to 4 wives, so people should mind their business

they were niggas most def , check the names . I used to be a cop in NY. So sad

chillbabe: I wonder what most Nigerian mothers teach there sons when raising them. They way most Nigerian men behaves towards there spouses amaze me no respect what so ever. Its very sad and bad to there image.

you are sooooo on point. How can a man ask his wife to kneel before another man? Don't worry, he will be a Yesterday man one day

gothrones: It may not necessarily be an aide; it could be a relative. Obote.

is it only me? Is the aide a man or woman ? All these misuse of English by Nigerian journalists

gedtalks: whats the meaning of ''African Husband'' in as much as I dont think the man should have asked his own wife to kneel, who told you that African Husbands are not the best in the world ?? If not why are African marriages classified as most sucessful?? If you are ashamed of the values and culture of your own people then you should be a slave. You should be sold out to slavery to serve ''western man''

successfulas in this relationship can be termed successful as well. Suffering and smiling relationship are termed successful only in Africa.

dapotemi: We honestly need to stop dis "pull him down" mentality.That premium story has alot of k-legs,i cant jus imagine how an "Adult" cud belief dat.That does nt make sanusi a saint tho,but d question is,Can we truely say dat d young man has nt been doing his job well and professionally to d best of his ability?Sanusi was nt elected,he was appointed,so dos who appointed him should take actions if they feel otherwise!The hotel in question does nt evn have room 23 for Christ sake.Most of us on Nairaland are stil building our careers in our chosen field.One day and very soon,we will climb dat social ladder,we will be "Up there".When you participate in pulling pple down today,People will also pull you down!You cant escape it.Tank God Sanusi ws nt accuse of sleeping wit his mother or daughter,he ws accuse of sleeping with consenting ADULT!!! #BECAREFUL #KARMA

am very sure you will not be talking about this consenting adult, pull me down crap if it was your wife he was sleeping with. Bro, there is no smoke without a fire. I have known many career women who will indulge in this mess , married or not. Especially in Banking. Confirmed!!!

shymexx: Are you guy? Idris Elba is just any guy - but American women get moist for him, why's that?

After many years abroad,I decided to move back to Nigeria 4 years ago.I listened to the call for Nigerians to come back home like many other families in the diaspora.3 weeks ago,we[myself,wife and teenage children] were traumatized by a gang of about 10 armed robbers in our estate which is supposed to be one of the most secured in Lagos[VGC].It was an experience that my family will never forget.When the police came to the house after the incident,the DPO was just making an issue of how he had to come all the way from iyana ipaja to VGC. They did not enter the house to even look at the crime scene to see if any evidence could have been left behind by the robbers .As an Ex NYPD police officer, this should have been standard police procedure anywhere in the world,very basic. I was asked to come to the station to make a statement.Now just imagine that after the trauma and loss of money and other things, I was being given the impression that I should SETTLE them when I got to the station. Is this what this country is about now?Brothers and Sisters in the diaspora should please get ready if you ever plan to relocate or it will be a shocker how things are being done here.few months ago,I went to police headquarters zone2 to file a petition on an unrelated issue.Can you imagine that I was asked to SETTLE before anything could be done?the sense of entitlement is alarmimg here in Nigeria. I go to the Airport and starting from the immigration to customs to NDLEA to ticketing agent,we have to settle everytime or they will just delay you.Kidnapping in Lagos is another story. My question is ,is it really worth it staying back here and exposing yourself and family to all these vices? Most of my siblings have moved back abroad after tasting how Naija is and I am considering moving back to relative PEACE. Forget the so-called Home is Home nonesense. Please I need everyone's candid unbiased opinion. Thank you guys

those are the same girls in dbanj's oliver twist video

Bigcake: The problem wit most Nigerians is that the dont understand simple english. What does the word 'Pardon' means? Does it mean to kill and destroy? We just have to forgive pple that hav tresspass against us if we are to move this country forward. Let anyone who have neva ask God for forgiveness cast the first stone. This man Gej is the best thing to happen to Nigeria.

who isThis idiot?
