This government is still living in the past. They can no longer negotiate from a position of strength.

Those giving the northerners a bad name are the middle belters (north central). Trust me people from Kano, bornu sokoto and Fulani generally are very intelligent.

Just as people from south south are the ones drawing the southerners back.

In the case of north central, it’s the case of lack of access to good education.

For our south south brothers (and sisters) it because of lack of seriousness and laziness.

That depends on if the rail was meant for trucks or just passengers - if it is meant for interstate travel and trucks, then it has to be heavy rail - It says a Standard Gauge (Which includes light rail but not heavy goods)

My point is the rail terminates at Ibadan at the moment so it would not make much difference if goods destined for say Kano are transported by rail to Ibadan then by road to Kano.
The rail network needs to be more extensive to take pressure of our road network

Oga Amaechi and Fashola, what happens when the rail carriages arrive at ibadan? Offload onto trucks?

Don’t be rude gentleman.

What does it take please? Tell us?

I am not talking about economics, I am speaking about overt sabotage. It is very clear to smart people. Wake up.

It’s all about economics my friend, within the euro zone Germany has the strongest economy. It’s uses it’s economic muscle to support the zone.
Most of the borrowing is bankrolled by Germany.
Within the euro Zone you also have stresses and strains, between the more advanced countries like Germany, the Netherlands and France and the southern countries like Spain and Italy.

To get into monetary union there are a number of huddles to cross, bring public sector borrowing within a similar range among member countries. There is the need for interest rate alignment before you can head towards monetary union.

The euro is strong because of the economies behind it Germany France Netherlands etc. Which economy within Ecowas is strong enough to back the proposed West African currency?

The writer seems to have little understanding of what it takes to have monetary union.

Go and do some research on the euro zone consisting of developed economies. Not to talk of West Africa.

You are who you are. There is little you can do about it. Homosexuality exists among all races. One in every ten individuals is thought to be gay.
Africans know this but keep it under the carpet.
Don’t tell your family you are gay but African.

EBEk101:
those white folks don't care hu u r oh datz how it is down there

Of course they treat all customers with respect. But it would be hard to find a head of state doing his own shopping in selfriges of any similar store for that matter.

I’m sure If they had had prior notice the store would have closed off the section to the public.

This man is so humble I met him in selfriges London shopping for luggage bag. It was just himself daughter and an aide.

I was just thinking does this man (shopping assistant) know he is talking to the president of Ghana. Decent and civilised man.

Tell them Kemi. I’m happy we still have intelligent people like Kemi and FFK left in this country.

FFK if you had stayed in the UK, you could have become the UK’s first ‘ethnic minority’ prime minister.

FFK finally apologizes for using the word ‘stupid’ This is a hallmark of an intelligent mind. Only a fool would not change his mind.

babyfaceafrica:
so because he went to Cambridge, he is intelligent?. Academically sound and intelligence are two different things!!

Trust me my brother going through a university like Cambridge will task your whole brain. It’s not all about studying and then regurgitating at exams. A lot fail to gain admission some struggle afterwards. It is more how you are able to ‘adjust’ mentally not just book intelligence.

Dear Madam, why not simply ask for the recall of the affected products.

OlujobaSamuel:
Intelligence has been defined in many ways: the capacity for logic, understanding, self-awareness, learning, emotional knowledge, reasoning, planning, creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving. More generally, it can be described as the ability to perceive or infer information, and to retain it as knowledge to be applied towards adaptive behaviors within an environment or context.
I doubt if he fits into that definition

Okay Sir, I must say I respect your opinion on this matter.

[quote author=OlujobaSamuel post=93210305]So his Alma Mater is a justification for his level of intelligence?
[/quote

FFK is very intelligent by all standards. Being a Cambridge graduate only goes to confirm this.
I have worked with quite o few of them and I know this. Gaining admission is competitive and even then if you are not top notch you cannot survive the demands both academic and otherwise. Trust me.

babyfaceafrica:
and that makes him intelligent?.. Issorite.

Go and research Cambridge graduates and then judge for yourself.

babyfaceafrica:
FFK and intelligence in the same sentence?. That is news!

At least he went to public (private fee paying) school in England and read law at the university of Cambridge in England.

You have to think intelligently, the question the journalist asked was rather daft.

It’s not about your opinion of FFK who by the way is an extremely intelligent man by all standards.

It’s a shame what this country has been brought to. While am not exactly a fan of Femi Fani-Kayode, people of his caliber are the ones running the government in the United Kingdom.
It’s sad to hear such quality of question from a journalist. It appears most don’t appreciate the use of IQ.

Once an Emir always an Emir.

Mr Onyema worked in the United Nations for many years. So I think he is more of a multinational diplomat. They are not usually suited for the role of foreign minister.

Only Apple is now worth 2 trillion USD

My friend I think you need to do more research. We African are the only remaining pure human race. Most of the current inhabitants of Europe and Asia are products of cross breeding between humans and Neanderthals. Neanderthals are not necessarily considered to be humans. The fact that we have Africans living and functioning well in Europe may suggest its a matter of nurture over nature.

I beg put him on sex offenders register if he is to be released

Nigeria will be great again

It appears the only thriving sector of the economy is politics.

Syphax:
Please why is he called President Babangida instead of General Babangida?

Because he gave himself the title. On the morning I thought it was a mistake. The rest is history.

Only good governance will stabilise Nigeria

The Senate on Tuesday received a formal request for the confirmation of 11 nominees as Judges of the Federal High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

The request was contained in a letter read on the floor during plenary by the Senate President, Ahmad Lawan.

The letter reads: “In accordance to Section 256(2) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as amended, I have the honour to forward for confirmation by the Senate, the under-listed names of eleven (11) nominees as Judges of the High Court of the FCT, Abuja.

The nominees are: Abubakar Husseini Musa (Adamawa State); Edward Okpe (Benue State); Babashani Abubakar (Borno State); Emuesiri Francis (Delta State); Jude Ogho (Delta State); Josephine Enobi (Edo State); Christopher Opeyemi Oba (Ekiti State); Mohammed Idris (Kano State); Hassan Maryam Aliyu (Kebbi State); Fashola Akeem Adebowale (Lagos State); and Hamza Muazu (Niger State).

The Minority Whip, Senator Philip Aduda, while relying on Order 43 of the Senate Standing Rules objected to the absence of a nominee from the FCT.

Chairman of the Senate Committee on Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Matters, Senator Opeyemi Bamidele (APC – Ekiti Central), while coming under the same point of order, explained to the contrary that the FCT already has Judges on the bench of the FCT High Court.

“What is being done by the National Judicial Council at the moment is to fill existing vacancies on the bench of the FCT Judiciary.

“What will become an issue is if you take list of the over 40 Judges of the FCT and any particular state is missing, that is when it becomes an issue.

“A major criterion is to ensure that states that do not have anybody on the bench are given priority. I just wanted to clarify that FCT has Judges on the bench of the FCT”, the lawmaker explained.

In a related development, the President also requested the upper chamber to confirm the appointment of three members of the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB).

“In compliance with the provision of Section 154(1) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended), and pursuant to Section 1(2) and (3) of the Code of Conduct Bureau Act LFN 2004, I write to request for confirmation by the Senate, the following three nominees for appointment as members of the Code of Conduct Bureau. The curriculum vitae of the nominees are attached herewith.

They are: Barr. Ben Umeano (Anambra State – South East); Hon. Johnson Abonaema (Edo State – South South); Olayinka Babatunde Balogun (Ogun State – South West).

Also to be confirmed is the appointment of Umar Garba Danbatta, as Executive Vice Chairman of the Governing Board of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) for a second term of five (5) years.

According to President Buhari, the nominee’s appointment is In accordance with the provision of Section 8(1) of the Nigerian Communications Act 2003.

Meanwhile, the confirmation of the nomination of Idahagbon Williams Omoregie for appointment as Commissioner of the Federal Civil Service Commission was referred by the Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, to the Committee on Establishment and Public Service.

The Senate President also referred the nominations of Usman Mahmud Hassan as Commissioner of the Revenue Mobilization Allocation and Fiscal Commission to the Committee on National Planning and Economic matters; Tella Adeniran Rahmon as Resident Electoral Commissioner of the Independent National Electoral Commission to the Committee on INEC; Suleiman Sani as Career Ambassador; and the appointment of 41 Non-Career Ambassadors to the Committee on Foreign Affairs.

The Committees are expected to submit their reports to the Senate in two weeks.

Do the ‘indigenes’ of FTC have special rights as against other Nigerians. We are subjects of our respective state governments while they are subjects of the Federal Government?
