Why does what happens in Ajaokuta Steel and Itakpe Mining Ore have tremendous impact and concern on the rest of the world? Is our decision NOT to develop our indigenous steel be based on our national interest or external interest? Who stands to gain and who stands loose. How can all the science professors, Phd's, engineers with a population of more than 155,000,000 people, 37 universities, numerous colleges of technology and polytechnic NOT FIGURE OUT how to make Ajaokuta Steel work. We should inspire and charge our universities for answers. As a nation we need to take a national responsibility based on our national interest.

Who lies more? Men or women? As for me I trust myself

In Nigeria at present poverty-stricken. I am the first to admit that a country does not have to be rich in order to be democratic. But a minimum amount of resources is needed in order to meet some minimum requirements of good governance. In Nigeria today, even the high echelons of the civil service receive salaries inadequate to keep a family for a month, and the minimum wage is derisory; and all salaries (especially of teachers and health workers) are frequently delayed. Nor have the people in general been the beneficiaries at any time of a well-organised education system directed at enlarging public understanding of and active participation in modern democratic institutions and processes.
Poverty is an enemy of good governance, for persistent poverty is a destabiliser, especially if such poverty is shared in a grossly unequal manner, or is widely regarded as being unfairly distributed as the few who are relatively rich indulge in conspicuous consumption. Known or suspected corruption among the political leaders often makes the problem worse - and corruption throughout the society more difficult to overcome. Good wages or salaries will not stop bad people from being corrupt; but miserable wages and salaries are not conducive to rectitude. Political instability, real or imagined, can be a source, and is often used as an excuse, for bad governance.

On the House of Reps probe on fuel subsidy....
Iam not convinced by the House of Reps outlandish report by Farouk Lawan Committee on Fuel subsidy scam as reviled of recent for obvious reasons.The House Reps was and still an avenue for high profile corrupt practices.It is true that there may be corruption in the management of fuel subsidy funds,but the House of Reps must win the confidence of the majority of the populace by purging itself of corrupt practices to fight corruption.With the outrageous allowances it offered its members amidst high poverty in the land and the whooping take in the national treasury in form of emergencies ,it is much to be desired of the House of Reps to come to terms with clean hands for any meaning interventionist mission.The whole episode sounds like a political gimmick to chase a ghoulish apocalypse.

Can anyone give me some concrete and genuine reason why some men marries more than one wife?

Boko Haram or no Boko Haram Nigerian youths must survive…

It is extremely disappointing that the issue with Boko Haram have dominated Nigerian Media, that the focus of our Country’s future has been neglected. The idea that out of a blue Nigerian starts to witness all these bombings in the name of religion is motivated by political God fathers. They do not care how many innocent lives are wasted just to score political points. Nigerian youths have been marginalized abused and spat on, but yet the leaders are now killing them for no fault of their own.

The question I keep asking myself every day, is Nigerians better off today than in the 60s and 70s? Of course, the answer to such question is a capital NO. Where have we gone wrong? The answer is simple, Nigerians are known all over the world as dishonest people, gimmicks, scammers, and you name it.
Nigeria is a blessed Country by God. Did we use the wealth of the Country to the advantage of its citizens? The answer of course is also No. Nigerian politicians were busy leaving a luxurious live outside Nigeria while the masses cannot even afford three square meals and yet they can go to bed conveniently without them having any kind of nightmares. Where are their civilities? They have none.
Despite the suffering of our youths, in the country where joblessness is the order of the day, Nigerian God fathers have resulted into what they have manufactured as Boko Haram. What is Boko Haram? The Islamic translation of this is simple, “Western Education is bad?” The same people who called Western Education is bad had all their Children paying millions and millions of Nigeria wealth to educate their children in the west. Who are they deceiving obviously themselves.

In any functional society, where growth is imminent, the government invests in the youths of that society because they are the future leaders of tomorrow. As for Nigeria the money they stole out of the Country would be the leaders of tomorrow. Nigerian with its wealth, we are trailing every other nation in terms of development. Nigerian economy would be so strong by now if our leaders would just steal enough for their families to leave a better life and use the rest of the wealth to care for its citizens. As I have said in many of my write ups money is the root of all evils. The more you acquire it the more you become greedy and thinking I want to have as many billions as I could. No amount of Nigeria wealth that left our soil, ever made it back to our Country. This money is used to develop other Nations.

Nigerian youths must wise up and call a spade a spade. If you do not challenge your leaders and asked them to account for every penny they spent on health of its citizens, building schools, roads, basic needs like housing, water system, constant light all over the street of Nigeria we have a long way to go. Sometimes I asked myself questions, where is our Country heading to? Are we really sincere with ourselves in the pledge to serve our fatherland? Do we seat back to think about the wordings of Nigerian National Anthem and the pledge of our Nation? What those words meant to us? Are we just reciting it because melodically, it sounds good in our ears?

We must not deceive ourselves to think that Boko Haram was or is a religious motivated group. It is not, but it is a political motivated entity that wants to deceive its citizens. We must all joined hands together to fight the menace that was brought upon the youths of Nigerians by our political Godfathers. Our Government is concentrating on easy targets claiming that our land that are seeking to unite its people have now turned into a place where Boko Haram are manufacturing bombs. We must not deceive ourselves. The youth should unite all over Nigeria and come together as one, to take our Country in direction of civilization and development to ensure our children and the ones yet unborn, have better lives in future. May God Nigeria forever.

The problem of Nigeria is the North. Let's be honest to ourselves statics shows that North rule this Country more than any part of Nigeria. Now Goodluck Jonathan is from Niger Delta he didn't finish one uncomfortable tenure in office Northern have started making noise. What about the IGBOs? Are they not Nigerian? How many times did they rule this country? North is blessed with natural and human resources and fertile land. What they lack are committed leaders and Lazy people who take begging as profession. Our leaders in North are the bane of our problems. Our so called leaders are the ones causing disaffection and disunity amongst us while promoting their selfish desires. We must purge ourselves from these greedy and selfish leaders in order to move forward.

A Northerner Must Emerge in 2015 Or Nigeria Will Divide- Lawal Kaita
Lawal Kaita, the close ally of former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, who famously promised in October 2010 that the North would make Nigeria ungovernable for President Jonathan if he won the 2011 election is again spitting fire.
This time around he is insisting that a Northerner must emerge by 2015 or there would be no Nigeria.
Kaita said “We hear rumours all over that Jonathan is planning to contest in 2015. Well, the north is going to be prepared if the country remains one.
That is, if the country remains one, we are going to fight for it. If not, everybody can go his way,” he said in an interview in Katsina. Lawal Kaita said the recent stand of the party on consensus was a total negation of the motive behind forming the party.
It may be recalled that Alhaji Lawal Kaita had said in October 2010 that "The North is determined, if that happens, to make the country ungovernable for President Jonathan or any other Southerner who finds his way to the seat of power on the platform of the PDP against the principle of the party’s zoning policy".
⁠
⁠Kaita, founding member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and close ally of former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, had at that time warned that the North should not be blamed for the calamity that will befall the country, if Jonathan emerges President.
⁠
⁠Now, if Nigerians had thought that Kaita was joking, his own principal, former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, had come out openly on the 14th of December 2010 to say " Let me again send another message to the leadership of our great country, especially the political leadership that those who make peaceful change impossible, make violent change inevitable.”
Kaita, who described the emergence of the Bamanga Tukur-led NWC of the party as a grand ploy by President Goodluck Jonathan to contest the 2015 presidential race, said the north would ensure he never succeeds.
He stated: “It is a disgrace that a party like PDP is running away from election. I am one of the G18 members who founded the PDP and we formed the party because of our firm belief in election. I have contested election five or six times. We believed in election, but now the whole thing has collapsed”.
“They are running away from election. This entire consensus thing doesn’t make sense. For us who formed the PDP, we regret what is happening now. Ten candidates, overnight, all stepping down for one person! All the candidates were renowned and each of them is capable of running the party, but they all withdrew…”
Kaita, who was a governor of the old Kaduna State, insisted that the just concluded national convention of the PDP was devoid of excitement, noting: “Tukur is a highly qualified person but the fact that he allowed himself to be used as Jonathan’s candidate is what has lowered his status".

Hello.house, am getting marry to fiancée in July he's an American citizen pls how many month will it take me to process visa or how long will it take me to get my visa to join him because I don't want to stay long in Nigeria before I join, he's coming with invitation letter. Urgent reply pls

The People democratic party's 2011 National convention that ended in Abuja yesterday, produced another embarrassing moment of our time.
Malam Umar Garba Chiza was re-elected as the National Youth Leader, at the age of 60. Malam Chiza was sponsored into that position by the governor of Niger State, Dr Babangida Aliyu, the Chairman of the Northern Governors Forum.
A youth is defined by Dictionary Reference 'as the period of life from puberty to the attainment of full growth - adolescence'.
None of these words above fits Malam Umar Garba Chiza and it is sad that our youths are NEVER consideredor groomed to replace these leaders who has been around even before Nigeria attained Independence.
Getting these young people ready to talk-over leadership positions should be one of the reasons for the creationof the position of a Youth leader

U guys mean I can't get any one in Abuja

Please where can I get a good dermatologist in Abuja

This is a thesis in which synthetic-analysis of our common goals, in restorative procedure of the socio-economic future of our people is objectively presented since the situation requires a vigorous moral input that transcends above the party boundary. The mechanism applied in this mission is to establish a “new economy” with successful programs that will survive and consequentially breeds more businesses for our people. This urgent demand to overhaul our socio-cultural identity will serve as a rebirth of hope, vision and dedication where the mainstream economy in the country fails to meet the new challenges of our time.

However, the hypothesis of this socio-economics analysis will neither be a political concubine nor a ceremonious house wife but an active partner set on a moral standard that could never think of a divorce in her comfortable marriage life. Yet, the success of any marriage depends largely on the harmonizing steps of both parties toward the same drum beats. The visible evidence of our reunion in this collective effort to survive above poverty line shall be treated as a symbolic gesture where logical format of understanding laced a successful battle in our hearts.

In this our socio-economic strangulation, we have to move forward but first we need to understand what ‘forward’ mean. How best do we address the impregnable sense of impunity in our society and the complete lost of social behavior? The ethical morality that serves as the galvanizing force of our formation is entirely lost and laziness has dominated the crux stage of our lives. Perhaps this proverb is applicable in this instance whereby, “an idol mind is said to be a devil’s workshop”. But how idol is our mind? What kind of modus-operandi to is available to utilize in remolding such mind? How do we change this devil’s workshop into our benefit? Must we permit the devil to win the mind of our society? What is the best way to restore our glory?

These tentative questions are the major nightmares that confronted my mind and the solutions to these central questions linger thereafter. May be some of us must have perceived various calculative methods to reopen our prosperity door of survival where few is busy celebrating our collective failures. To this few opportunists that embraced our calamity as their treasure think less of distance tomorrow. This immediate treasure that has subjugated their unreasonable compromise is the central burden of our society.

The leaders should be magnanimous in their policies and unite together no matter their political differences so that their dreams of better society could be achieved for our children, our people and unborn generation. The demur to some of the wild enthusiasm is not farfetched from the less demagogue nature of Nigeria politicians. In this new era, I hope and seek each political leader not to develop thick feather or dense in dealing with the popular prejudice. This would be quite unremarkable on their part as they lead by redemptive example. The society we come from should be collectively worshiped. This of course would not raise the idea of our legitimacy as we represent purely the true interest of our people. Everyone should come out to establish his own genuine idea and resource to the development of our community.

More so, to apply an aggressive method of workable changes which is the focal point of our discourse requires proclivities of our elites in creative solutions in this our socio-economics structure. With their positive contributions to actualize the purported idea that will enrich our society with time supposed to be their collective dream. Their efforts in this direction shall pave way to our collective economic prosperity where many possible entries into the market square of constant demand stands out.

It’s my obligation to expose the socio-economics treasures we need in our community. Our people have engaged for a long time in peasant faming with a poor out come because of the kind of tools they use. Some rich men in our society should form a team together so as to embark on mechanize farming. The human resources are already available and other raw materials needed for this big project. Investment on this kind of project and getting people to do the odd jobs is another effort in the right direction.
We should also use whatever we have in our society to achieve some break through. Look at our various mountains and some high; others rough while few smooth but not so high.

It should be part of our dream to work on the modality to promote tourism in our society. Those who have travelled wide and extensively will bear witness to the amount of employment this idea could generate, if handled appropriately. Our leaders need to reinvest in our society, they should be bold to take a risk in the right direction. Let them lead in this very particular field by investing heavily on tourism. The possibility to make a change supposed to start from them. It is only then; they can extend it to some other institutions or companies for further assistance they may need for such elaborate project to take off.

We should all bear in mind that poverty may not be a chosen friend but a stubborn companion that forces her friendship on anybody. It has subsequently and singularly destroyed the moral ethics of many societies. Poverty can consume the healthiest joy of any living community, if adequate measures are not put in place. As poverty unlashes her angry venom on our society our people have to overcome their differences just to rescue the soul of our entire society from her grip.

The continuity of any peaceful and united society depends largely on the concept of proper vision to track down poverty. It is our dedication, vision and moral effort combined with financial commitment that could usher the society into an enviable one. We must use the socio-economics pressure as our weaponry to dispel poverty into hibernation. This weaponry is not a cheap one and must be patriotically used by those who have our vision and progress at heart.
