Good.

HNosegbe: Sorry o, but when did primary health care become FG's responsibility? Where are the states and local governments?

Where the states and LGs fail to do their part, what do you expect?
When people blame the FG for potholes on their village roads, do they remember it's d responsibility of Stae/local govt? No

How I wish it was Shekau they arrested. Well, it will still happen sooner or later. Kudos to the intelligence and Law enforcement agencies

This is a nice development. My only prayer is that some rich people should not claim to be poor just to collect the money meant for d poor

aasog1: Actually, Mimiko is still a positive element in the SW. And all the Yorubas would be extremely fortunate, if LP wins in Ondo in the impending guber-election.
The ACN needs a political threat, someone to keep them on their feet, and Mimiko is actually right....the progress isnt entirely "original".
I have been extremely disappointed LP is still closeted to Ondo, it would be nice if they take maybe one more state. If we have 2 positive factions, and they are both competing progressively, this would create a robust, and additional even better political platform besides the ACN....Whoever wins, the people wins. And thats what the entire part of Nigeria isnt about.
So, come this coming guber-run, I hope the ACN gets totally disgraced in Ondo. Atleast, it would give the entire ACN govs a clear warning....It isnt about politics or Tinubu. Its about what the people want....

You are right.
They don't have the people at heart, their priority remains the success of their party.

What if the National Assembly okays it at last?

Olanlere11: Now that the National Assembly has resumed sitting, maybe the hullabaloo surrounding this 5k will be put to rest.

The Deputy Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly and member representing Khana Constituency 11, Hon. Leyii Kwanee has called on the Department of Linguistics and Communication Studies of the University of Portharcourt, to avail to the Assembly opportunities for training in the areas of communication such as public speaking, persuasion and specialized arts of writing.

Speaking when a delegation from the Department paid him a courtesy call in appreciation of his participation in a conference held recently in honour of Professor Sylvanus Ekwelie, renowned Africa scholar in communication, who retired from the department, in his office in Port Harcourt, the Deputy Speaker said that the Assembly was prepared at all times to embrace any training that will ensure qualitative performance in legislative duties.
He said such training was not only for the lawmakers but for the support staff assuring that such partnering was necessary and would be brought to the attention of the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Otelemaba Dan Amachree, as soon as he arrived back from his official trip abroad.

He commended the department of Linguistics and Communication Studies for proposing a course on political communication and public policy pointing out that such courses would enrich the acumen and skill of legislators if exposed to it.
He urged the department to ensure that there was qualitative training for students of journalism taking into consideration the ethics and professional code of journalism as such is lacking among some practicing journalists.

The Deputy Speaker warned that lapses or improper training of journalists, the fourth estate of the realm could spell doom for the nation.

He said that the Assembly is of appreciation of the contribution of the University of Port Harcourt to quality manpower development in Rivers State and that the institution deserves to be encouraged to attain appropriate ranking in Nigeria, Africa and the world in general.

Earlier, the head of department of Linguistics and Communication Studies, Rev Fr (Dr.) Walter Ihejirika said they were in his office to appreciate the Deputy Speaker’s participation in the Prof. Ekwelie conference.

He appealed to the Deputy Speaker to make out time for an interactive session with students of the department to enable them obtain first hand information on legislative roles and procedures to enrich their knowledge of democratic governance.

He said the department was engaging in proactive development of courses to ensure relevance in the present competitive global setting and as such is proposing a course on political communication and public policy that will be beneficial to political leadership of the country.

I respect OBJ for his blunt assertions. BHaram cannot hold us to ransom.

The fact remains that we Nigerians must learn to give peace a chance. That they are fighting in Egypt, Lybia, etc over the film is not enough reason for us to follow suit. Afterall, we Nigerians don't know anything about the movie, did we star in d film? No!

The following are some of the Uncelebrated Achievements of President Goodluck Jonathan’s Government

• Nigerians spend N160 billion annually on university education in Ghana, more than Nigeria’s annual budget for education in 2011.
~ Prof. Ayo Olukotun, Lead City University, Ibadan, Nigeria.

How did Goodluck Jonahan cause this? The truth is that many Nigerians like forming schooled abroad. Are there no good universities in the country? I schooled in Naija and I got the value for my school fees.

• 800 companies shut down in Nigeria due to harsh and insecure operating environment.

~ Nigerian Association of Chambers of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture (NACCIMA) .

It's like that in several other countries and Nigeria's case is partly caused by the lack of maintenance culture exhibited by Nigerians. Most enterprenuers are not innovative and their business ideas are archaic We lack the zeal to make things work. We are always waiting for the government to spoon-feed us.

• 33 million Nigerians are jobless.
~ Dr. Yemi Kale, Statistician General of the Federation of the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS).

Go learn a trade or acquire a skill and get thou self-employed!!!!

@OP & His Supporter:
And so? What the hell is the point you're trying to make? Why don't u bring up suggestions on how to improve the strength of our Naira, or better still, go and live in Ghana and be spending your cedis.

I think a similar topic is already trending on: https://www.nairaland.com/1048283/shocker-gej-honest-clean-he

Olanlere11: Mallam managed to be objective today. Abi na becos of the power ministry position when him want?

El ruffian is now Jonathan's friend because he's eyeing the post of Minister of Power

Big Brother Africa host, IK shares 10 tips to getting a man. He is well known as the anchor of massively popular reality show, Big Brother Africa. But IK Osakioduwa, who also presents on radio with Rythym FM Lagos, took to Twitter last night, to give advice to single ladies. The charismatic media personality, who is married with two kids, dished out the lessons with the hashtag #IksTipsToGettingAMan.

We reproduce in ascending order, the nuggets he shared with his followers:

1. Learn to do solo trips. It’s just easier for most guys to step to a girl on her own, than one in a pack of girls.
2.Make friends with married women. They know what guys want more than your single friends (that’s why they’re married)
3. Be careful not to be TOO INDEPENDENT. Learn to gain from your man’s presence in your life. Guys need to be needed.
4.Drop guys that take all ur time without really chasing u. They block other guys. No IWC= Intimacy Without Commitment
5. Make an effort. Try to look nice. Work out. Guys like babes. Get that Don King hair done, stop forming”Oh Naturale”
6. Don’t give it ALL up. Leave some for marriage. Perfect the art of giving previews. Nobody pays for free stuff.
7. Learn to cook. Most guys like a girl that CAN cook. Yeah not all guys but MOST. So do yourself a favour and learn
8. Have standards. Or you’ll find yourself in and out relationships too often and that’ll earn you a bad name.
9. No matter what, never be rude or abusive to him in front of his friends. (Not even in jest)
10. Don’t pressure him to marry u with questions like “Where’s this leading?” Instead leave him if he’s taking too long.

Dele.ahmed:
Hehheehe.... LWKMD. Mallam to be power minister. Naija don beta be that. U go just dey hear say them don uproot electric poles from some areas. Then mallan go come tell una say[b] those fifu av been banned from using electricity[/b]. In fact so many things go change. Abegi- elrufai ko rufari ni. Make the man better go Sidon for kastina.

Hahahahaha He would soon sell of the electric poles or better still, re-allocate the poles to his family and friends like he did with the FCT lands

Old news.

Let me hear that Professor Ayittey yarn nonsense about Nigeria again. I'm waiting for him.

I believe he can achieve it. Even if its only this power issue that he ends up achieving, I tell you, his prophesy of being the most-loved presido ever would come to pass.
However, all hands must be on deck and vandals should desist from vandalizing PHCN facilities. It doesn't pay

The man is just looking for cheap popularity.

Shebi the guy jeejeelly dey on his own, Baba come still find him trouble. The best thing Baba should do now is to desist from responding to him unless he wants to tarnish his image. Let the raised dust settle please

The Nigerian Police needs to sit up, ordinary armed robbers, they cannot catch. After wrecking all the havock they wrecked, they were still able to escape. Na wa oh. By the way, I heard that some policemen sell/lease guns to armed robbers, is it true?

topeorekoy: Nigerian police shld try and improve

Ewoo chimooooo! Some people cannot even read o!
"He said, “The hoodlums were between eight and 12" in number!

The opposition parties are too desperate for power. They should also make moves to collabo with Mama Ekaete, Mama Nkechi, Papa Obi, Papa bomboy, etc all in the quest to wrench power from PDP.
I know that in a Democratic system, healthy competition is allowed from opposition parties, but everything has to be done sensibly and moderately.

Me too I still believe in one Nigeria. All those calling for a breakup, when the real war that would accompany the breakup starts, can they handle it?

To quicken the recovery of the First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, officials of Horst Schmidt Klinik, the German Hospital where she is receiving medication, yesterday, barred visitors and some top Nigerian officials, who went to see her from, doing so.

An official of the hospital said that some top Nigerian officials, including diplomats were barred from seeing Mrs Jonathan to enable her have deserved rest to quicken her recovery.

The official also confirmed that the President's wife had earlier been treated for food poisoning back home before being brought to Horst Schmidt Klinik early last week after the management of the hospital had been contacted and briefed on her deteriorating health condition.

Confirming that the First Lady was getting better, the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, declared that the hospital management would ensure that she was fully fit before she would be allowed to go back to Nigeria.
