Hey, dont try to turn this around. You claimed that Bruce wrecked the NTA. The onus is on you to backup this claim this claim/accussation of yours.

Btw about the 19th Century NTA, Ben Bruce was the FIRST DG that tried rebranding the NTA. This included the use of a new logo. It was his successor that reverted back to the old logo.

C'mon, changing of logo. I call it window dressing. Let's not go there my friend.

Let me recount how everything became a batter during his tenure. Albarka airline had a batter arrangement and each time I found myself travelling official assignment, I'm told by airline that quota for the flight is exhausted.

One day I asked who are the people in the aircraft that I had intended to travel with ? I was dismayed to find that they were all silverbed group staff.

Need say, batter arrangement with albarka airline was to reserve a specified number seats for NTA staff on every local trip but it happens that silverbed staff enjoyed it most.

Mordyb:
Oga don't say what you don't know in fact when he was dg that was when NTA started expanding opening new branches setting the stage for the Tony Iredia 's of this world get your facts right

What expansion are you referring to ? Yes 3 stations per state and we were supposed to have 108 of them. Stations without transmitters. Those who had couldn't transmit because of one issue or the other. Guy I was in that system and I just couldn't hide my disappointment.

He and executive director finance purchased technical equipment for NTA. Ben is brilliant no doubt but he had his agenda.

Stella Obasanjo was a blessing to him during his tenure. Many unscrupulous acts of his were well covered

Too many things to talk about jare. Thomson broadcast vs JVC. All these are still fresh in my memory.

arresa:
Do you people even know the meaning of logical..?


BMB was the directory of NTA for 8 years, do you and your fellow wailers mind listing his commonsense accomplishments at the NTA?

NTA was left in worse shape than before his 8 years.


Don't Be Bruce - Omojuwa.

As a former staff of NTA, I witnessed a lot. He got all the funds needed to revamp NTA but by the time he left, Silverbed became more popular. Silverbed galleria was also built and became fully operational.

After 13 years in exile, the Federal Government of Nigeria under President Shehu Aliyu Usman Shagari granted an official pardon to Odumegwu-Ojukwu and opened the road for a triumphant return in 1982. The people of Nnewi gave him the now very famous chieftaincy title of Ikemba (Strength of the Nation, while the entire Igbo nation took to calling him Dikedioramma ("beloved hero of the masses" during his living arrangement in his family home in Nnewi, Anambra. His foray into politics was disappointing to many, who wanted him to stay above the fray. The ruling party, NPN, rigged him out of the senate seat, which was purportedly lost to a relatively little known state commissioner in then Governor Jim Nwobodo's cabinet called Dr. Edwin Onwudiwe. The second Republic was truncated on 31 December 1983 by Major-General Muhammadu Buhari, supported by General Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida and Brigadier Sani Abacha. The junta proceeded to arrest and to keep Ojukwu in Kirikiri Maximum Security Prison, Lagos, alongside most prominent politicians of that era. Having never been charged with any crimes, he was unconditionally released from detention on 1 October 1984, alongside 249 other politicians of that era—former Ministers Adamu Ciroma and Maitama Sule were also on that batch of released politicians. In ordering his release, the Head of State, General Buhari said inter alia: "While we will not hesitate to send those found with cases to answer before the special military tribunal, no person will be kept in detention a-day longer than necessary if investigations have not so far incriminated him." (WEST AFRICA, 8 October 1984)

Seldom comment on this platform but this got to me so much that I feel like encouraging you that your time is near, in fact very near.

This is the moment to tell your MAKER to arise for you. Not that you have not been doing that but in the bitterness of heart tell Him and praise Him.

Should you move in with your sister, please return very fast and play your wifely roles. You'll surely laugh last, longer and longest.

I'm blown away.

Thanks. She left me with a boy. Still looking for a good lady. But seems hard to find one. The right lady will come; that I know.

emusmith:
Oh God will strengthen you! Are you re-married? Any kid(s)? It will be well...

My late wife did and you just reminded me of her. I'm sooooooo sad she's not longer here. Now I can chuckle to myself that God sent her to me. She was 28yrs.

emusmith:
I still believe this is possible.
Some ladies exist that could do this. Yes! I don't know if they're on NairaLand sha but I know they're alive somewhere.
You can call them Love Doctors. They are the ones R.Kelly was referring to when he sang that song titled, "WHEN A WOMAN LOVES"

Guys, if you find such ones, you'll be walking on the streets smiling. People will be like, Is this man mad? Yes! You're madly in love with your wife.

Follow me as I highlight Seven Sweet Extras A Wife Does For Her Husband

NOTE: This is not applicable to all males/ females.


1. Cutting his toenails.

She notices your toenails growing so long and you know, some men don't care about "little things" like that. She does it for him. At that moment, she is in charge of his heart! She is 50% sure of getting whatever she wants. DON'T MAKE THAT YOUR AIM.


2. Jumping and Playing on his back

Stop being an adult all of a sudden! Play and leap on his back.
One of many things a man loves but much familiarity and 'over maturity' won't let him know how to even spew it out of his mouth is this.
She better not be robust, lol...Even if she's robust, the man can still manage it...



3. Feeding him

This is especially when he is not too strong... Even when he is sound, doing it brings flavour to your relationship and give him the butterfly feeling. No matter how "ajekpako" he is, he loves it. He loves the feeling. Give it to him. Put the garri in his mouth. That's how to take a man's heart. Not by dragging rights!


4. Helping him knot his tye

This may look foreign, but No! It is not meant for the first five months of your marriage only. Some ladies came to me to teach them how to knot a tie- they want to be doing this for their husband.
It's fun and it shows love!

5. Massaging his laps and legs

Sometimes, your man returns from early morning road work or even from work. You see him complaining of how his laps are so heavy. Give him a massage. Massage his laps, legs and toes, if possible.


6. Constantly Packaging
Food in his food flask to work.

My friend's aunty does this. He packs for the children and the husband too. The husband so much talk about her in the office, other men get intimidated and employed the scheme, lol! This man loves his wife! They are not soooo wealthy...She works o. The man comes from work every day to get a glass of juice first, then bathroom and food...TV and bed. The man too will perform well on bed by force na...

7. Welcoming him with a peck from work as she takes his suit.

If it is good for the goose then it is good for the gander. It is not just a "White People" thing. It is a practice that could change your husband's treatment of you.


He loves you whether you do these things or not BUT when you train yourself to do them, he will not only love you, He will LIKE you.

LIKING someone is admiring the person.
He may love you just for peace to reign and the law demands it.
But for him to really really really LIKE you, you have to somehow go out of your way to do some LITTLE EXTRAs to HELPing him better.


DON'T SAY YOU CAN'T TRY THIS FOR A NIGERIAN MAN. It is a lie! Love has no language. It is the language you give it that it assumes. Love is universal. If it works for that white lady, it will work for you because we are the same.

Have a nice day.

But I see a lot of Chemical Engineers teaching these days. Some doctors struggles even.

Anyone with information on where I can buy the aboved name accessory and price range please.

Obiagelli:
Whatever cause they fought for, i see similar methods, if in their minds they fought for their pockets, in reality they fought to defend the house of Assembly. All that matters to me AT THE MOMENT.

HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY OF what if I may ask.
Shit people...

Obiagelli:
Go and read the things our heroes Mandela and Martin Luther King did to get us where we are today.

Talking about heroes, these are not and will never be. Check behind Mandela and Luther, you could see mass movement of deprived common masses behind them. Who do you see behind these? Well-to-do, healthy looking, well dressed in agbada, babariga or suite. Please check it out bro. These guys are mean and are only fighting to continue to make laws that perpetuate them in office. Abegi jooo.

Bullshit ! All are sick. The rot always and will always start from the head. The head is really sick.
Must you gain access by force ?

Need no further description of someone who's truly demon possessed.

Monsiuer Keshi just had himself crucified. He chose his team. He designed it just as he wanted. He must accept every flak from football loving Nigerians and leave the post with immediate effect. There's no reason even to continue as he's yet to sign a new contract. To me, walking away is the only reasonable thing to do. Apology? Not even necessary.

A doomed dog will never heed the hunter's whistle. Let's thank him for the past and let him go. It's time to hire someone with sound knowledge of how football should be played.

ijawkid: You knw wetin vision be at all??...

Ok now let's go from your spurios stand....

After elijah and moses departed where did they go to??....purgatory??

Elijah was taken away by chariot of fire. Moses went to the hill top and nevr came back. Only knows what happened there. So where did the word "purgatory" come from ? Just like "Trinity", who manufactured the word "purgatory" ? I've combed my bible and I can't seem to find the usage of the two words. Please educate me.

haibe: And as it is appointed vnto men once to die, but after this the judgement:
(heb 9:27)

Will the prayer change God's standard of judgement? If it wont, then i think the prayer is meaningless. God can't be mocked, you cant live a sinful life and expect one prayer to save you when you die, common sense should tell us that, if the prayer could save, then jesus dint need to die for our sins since we can be saved after a prayer when we are dead.

Thank you sir. No comment from my side. The blind that has refused to see will continue to perpetually be in darkness. Beyond reading and citing quotes, it's necessary to receive revelation on this topic. God will always be right. Jesus is Lord. Enough of the veneration of some dead people.

Billyonaire: Thanks, I am fan of creativity, visionary leadership and painful advancement in the right direction. I dare say the ban of Okada on select routes is one of those painful advancement decision that Lagos State had to make. We just need one City in Nigeria that can be comparable to the global cities of 21st century, and If Fashola is making that a reality with the Lagos MasterPlan restoration then he has my support. I know there are going to be casualties of this advancement. We have been witnesses of the mockery of Lagos State in the international media as a slum and Makoko water front was always used a case study by Christian Purefoy, then at the CNN, thank God we are spared that embarrassment due to his disengagement from the CNN. Back to Eko Masterplan, We clamour for alternative sources of income for the Okada people, but we are quick to forget that most Okada riders are illegal immigrants from our beloved neighboring countries. What the government needs to do is set up a Hire Purchase Transport Scheme for the Nigerian Okada riders who are affected by the ban. We should rather be talking about alternative transport system for the commuters from street to street. There is a case study at Calabar where taxi ply street by street, Lagos should adopt such strategy by introducing inter-street transit systems.

The birth of a megacity does not come cheaply but I tell you Lagos govt has put the cart before the horse. Now you mention street by street transport among other things. The issues has to do with the highways where the roads are riddled with drum holes and consequently traffic is slowed. For a person living on the island, you not be privileged to see the chaos at various mainland bus stops. From Agbado to ijaiye to agege to ikeja all the way to oshodi. Ikorodu road, apapa road, okokomaiko, ajangbadi are places you'll see people sweat it out. The ban would have make sense if the roads are ok. Worse still when the community gathers to do something about the roads, somebody just shows up from alausa to frustrate the community effort claimimg that it's government responsibility. Yet no action from them. It seems to me that power of positive reasoning is lacking in our leaders. Ban them if you must but do the right things first.

I don't know what to say about LASTMA. On my way to a wedding ceremony, apparently unsure if I was about to enter into a wrong way, I immediately pull over and beckoned to the LASTMA controlling Traffic. This happened at Oshodi. He directed me and I proceeded only for them to run after me and got me arrested for plying a wrong way. Is this what they are told to do ? Worst is their mannerism and tout like behaviour. Yet some people celebrate them. The battle line is drawn between me and them. I have my own plans.

Again, I want to question the manner the police are going about enforcing this okada ban. Just at the exit of the opebi link road to oregun, I witnessed what could have resulted into the death of 3 people - the rider and two women. The police patrol van recklessly crushed the okada to the ground. Now the the rider was quick to get up and took to his heels. Nevertheless they went after him pointing their guns as if he were an armed robber. Would these same policemen chase a BOKO HARAM on the loose ? It was not sufficient that the rider left his bike for them to confiscate, they chased and chased . . . I didn't see the end of it because the traffic light signalled me to drive. The fate of the other women remained unclear to me. My question is, must you kill and maim to enforce this ban ? And talking about the roads, where are they ? May be death traps instead of roads. Yes the roads are many and mapped yet the navigator gets you confused by misleading you to go on pot holes ridden routes in which your judgment would probably have been better. We celebrate mediocrity too much jo. Eko o ni baaje but Eko to me don dey spoil. Ban them if you must but not kill them and fix the roads and I'll know you're up to something. Besides we don't need to glorify you for doing any good because that's what we elected you to do in the first place. "Aguda o je la be geesi, ise owo wa la wa nje - Orlando Owoh"

Only if GEJ will be bold enough even if it means the last thing he'll do on earth to go after the aforementioned negotiators and get them arrested and let the battle go on. It's a battle Boko Haram can will never win.

Idi-Amin:
Need your opinion, me and my wife always disgree about something. It's nothing major, but she takes it too serious.

We have 3 kids. 7 year old boy, and twin girls, 4 years old. My wife has a problem that I do not hide my unclothedness from my kids. If I am urinating in the toilet, and my son wants to pee as well, he comes beside me and pees, and he will even joke and try to shoot my pee with his pee. I do not tell him to wait outside so that he does not see my manliness. Even if we are in the bedroom and I'm lotioning up and daughters run into the room, i do not hide and tell them to go outside so they do not see my manliness! Why should I do that? they are my children. My wife will tell them to go outside.

If we have no visitors at home, and Im taking a bath, I dont lock the bathroom door. My wife would come and say 'you need to lock the door, these children can come in' and I will be like 'So? they are my children'

she keeps telling me it's not proper in our culture, it is morally wrong and can cause disrespect, it does not happen in Nigeria, bla bla
I can understand where she is coming from. I stayed at home for 23 years and I can say I have never seen my father's manliness (or maybe I did as a small child and can't remember).

Is it wrong?

Only the true Idi-Amin(Dada) will do what you have just confessed. I thank everyone for saying no to you and yes to your wife. It's isn't proper oga Idi-Amin.
