Boss13:
I respect this woman a lot. If not for her group the chibok girls would mean nothing to we, wicked and selfish Nigerians. It is not easy fighting and pressuring the government to do the right thing, especially when such government only think about how they can make quick cash gains.

I have said previously and continue to say it - we are victims of our own circumstances. Our nonchalant attitude is irritating. We adore corrupt politicians and hold them in high pedestal. We admire wrong people and consider them our Heros. Why won't politicians ignore their civic and responsible duties and continue to steal from the treasury.

May I remind insensitive Nigerians that this woman can be like us - insensitive to the plight of our nation, ignore the ills of society and live a comfortable life abroad - just like Ngozi is doing right now. She chose to fight in her own way, to fight and put our wicked government in check. We need more people like her and not pastors who still frolicks and dine with corrupt politicians.

so are the gurls back? ve dey been released? if no why stop fighting d state cuz dey said dey won't rest until d gurls re found

I'll just go straight to the point

#1. critical of your food: burnt food, salty or too spicy, recipe that didn't turn out well? E. T. C. A man that can cook is sure to notice that more than one who can't cook will. you can always sweet talk a husband that can't cook about how strenous it is preparing that particular kind of soup blalbla bla but u sure can't deceive a man that holds the big spoon.

#2. Responsibiltiy neglect: as it is th a our culture dictates th a it's the responsibility of the woman tocookfor the family, u may find yourself 'getting time's frequently and having your husband cook most times.

#3. No dine outs : since you both can cook. If u for some reason are unable to cook at a certaintime, ur husband would most probably choose to fill in rather than taking u out to eat/ bringing home take away food as one who can't cook would ssuggest.

#4. Nothing new under the sun: trying to surprise ur husband with a really 'wow' delicacy prepared by u? Chances are he's tried that recipe before.

#5. Competition: whoever likes it when the kids enjoy daddy's cooking more than mmY, the natural born cook's cooking?

*No time for elaborate explanation, No time for editing.

u mux b one of these lazy Yoruba gurls dat can't cook but always like to buy food outside for their husband

Kyase:
Look at this criminal.
APC must rig to two tenure so that PDP should feel it.
PDP has been rigging sinc 1999 even this year's election was rigged by PDP

can imagine wat u re saying. so even if APC isn't working dey should rig elections. No wonder Nigeria youths re total failure

TGM2015:
Summary of the reasons was violence and insecurities. Violence fulled by the political thugs and insecurities happens because our Security agencies are either compromised or incompetent/not well-equipped.
INEC needs to improve on their Card Reader and not dwelling on "we have insignificant Card Reader failure recorded" and address the issue in delay in electoral materials delivery and non-availability of sensitive electoral materials at the pooling units.

it therefore shows INEC has failed if dey can't continue on d legacy of Jega.

The elections in Kogi and Bayelsa state were just a litmus test for this administration. With the way both elections went one can categorically say INEC has failed.
Kogi:
1. One will expect INEC to head to supreme court before embarking on the supplementary election to avoid wasting of tax payers money.
2. It took INEC more than 3 days to announce the result of a single state. One begins to wonder what the population of Kogi is.
3. INEC should be moving forward not backward. The high level of irregularities and violence it shows that INEC is retrogressing instead of progressing .
Bayelsa:
1. Bayelsa is only 8 local government and the election is not concluded yet. If it take 3 days for INEC to conduct election for just 8 local government one begins to wonder how long it will take to conduct the presidential election.
2. Violence is getting worse compare to Kogi. The high level of irregularities is also on the rise compare to Kogi.
With this one can categorically say INEC under Bihari and Manmood is a total failure.

Really? they should do so online naaa

Op, when you are ignorant, you should ask questions instead of proceeding to spew your ignorance in public.

Newspapers have regional focus. Guardian or Vanguard newspaper circulated in Lagos may have a different frontpage or news content from the ones distributed in Owerri. This is not uncommon and it did not start with theNation.

Cc: wheredemdey, henriettanenye, Leopardd, mazzi

lying lier....... its a national paper n not a regional paper so it carries a national front page

we already no y he was arrested...... its revenge and not fight against kworuption

LordMecuzy:
In Karu strictly on 16hours a day, but we need 24hours

bros is it d same karu I am?

The sufferings and hardship currently witnessed by
Nigerians across the country took a turn for the worse in
Abuja in the last couple of days as Abuja Electricity
Distribution Company reduced power supply to the Federal
Capital Territory and neighbouring states to an average of six
hours.
This was in negation of recent claims by the Transmission
Company of Nigeria, TCN, two weeks ago, that power supply
had hit a new high of 4,488 megawatts (MW).
Vanguard observed that over a month, the power situation in
Abuja took a turn for the worse, with households having to
grapple with exorbitant electricity bills despite the absence of
electricity.
However, only a few high-brow areas and selected areas like
Asokoro, Maitama, Wuse 2, Gwarimpa, among others and
some areas with lesser population, like Dutse-Sokale,
Dutse-Alhaji; some selected streets in Arab Road and Fate
Foundation in Kubwa, all in Bwari Area Council, can boast of
a near stable supply of electricity.
In a chat with Vanguard on the epileptic power situation in
Abuja, the spokesperson for the AEDC, Mr. Oyebode Fadipe,
blamed the drop in power supply to a decline in power
generation and some challenges experienced in the area of
transmission.
He stated that Nigerians should not expect a drastic
improvement in power supply at the moment, as 24 months
is still not enough time to do the radical change that people
desire to see in the power sector.
Fadipe disclosed that AEDC has spent over N2 billion for the
rehabilitation of legacy projects, while it is currently spending
N1 billion for ongoing projects, adding that all these is to
enable it bring the network to the point of significant
improvement.
He said, “It is because of these investments that we are even
talking about the electricity we have today, otherwise, 24
months ago it was really drastic.
Shortly before the election in May it was a very bad situation;
where even as a company we got only 18 megawatts Then
how do you share such megawatts, we do not have licence
to generate, we only have licence to distribute.
He, however, blamed the low power supply in some areas on
the fact that some of the areas are highly populated and are
high consumers of electricity.
He said, “The second side of it is that there may be local
problem and coincidentally you find out that areas such as
Kubwa, Karu, Nyanya, Lugbe among others, are high density
areas. Kubwa is the largest satellite town in Abuja, and then
you have Karu, Nyanya and isolated cases like the case of
Garki.
“The issue is not even about population, the basic issue is
availability, it will either be at the point of available generation
or there is equipment inadequacy.”
Despite the assurances by, residents in Apo Village told
Vanguard that they have not had electricity for about two
months due to a faulty transformer.
One of the residents, Kokoma Gabriel, said that efforts to get
AEDC to fix the transformer had been unsuccessful, as some
staff and agents of the company have requested for financial
motivation before the transformer would be fixed.
In Kubwa, residents staying near the village market claim
they hardly get electricity for about four hours daily, while
residents in Phases Two, Three and Four, PW and environs
claim they only get electricity for about six hours, mainly at
night.
In Lagos Street, some area of Gado Nasko, 2-1 Market and
environ, ‘loss of phase’ has become a permanent feature as
some lines goes off for the few hours power supply is
restored.
One of the residents, Mr. Chisom Umeh stated that several
attempt to get officials of AEDC to fix the problem
permanently had not been successful, as the problem
always resurfaced, sometimes, one hour after it is rectified
Also, Kubwa is littered with abandoned power projects as a
World Bank assisted programme to supply small-size
transformers to residents in the area appeared to have been
abandoned for almost two years since the project
commenced.
In the twilight of the Goodluck Jonathan’s
administration, polls that were meant to bear the
transformers were quickly installed by some contractors
who told Vanguard that the programme was a World Bank
project. About a year after, the poles are still standing while
no transformer had been installed.
Residents in some areas in Nyanya, Karu, Jikwoyi, Mararaba,
Kuje also lamented the epileptic power situation and
ineffectiveness of AEDC, stating that they scarcely get
electricity for an average of six hours daily.
Area 7 and Area 8 in Garki, in the Central Area was not left
out, as many organisations around the area had to resort to
the use of generating sets to power their business premises.
Also, some areas are condemned to rationing or load –
shedding, as they see electricity on some days while on
some other days they stay in darkness.
Specifically, one resident in Lugbe, Mr. Samuel Abass, said
power supply to their area is on a “One day on, one day off,”
basis.
He called on the Federal Government to come to their aid
and save them from the ineffectiveness and exploitative
tendencies of the power companies.

Unfortunately, coren is going nowhere, every country in the world as required by law must have an an organization regulating the engineering profession else there would be lots of quacks. You can only offer them solutions on how to better their services.

but they re not living up to expectation. To me dey ve failed

Jonathan2787:
we do see things the way they do and that's the problem, let's relate this to our prison and theirs, theirs prisons have facilities,recreation, vocational centres,you name them70% percent of their criminals come out a better person, but in Nigeria reverse is the case 80% of our criminals come out hardcore and more ferocious than they were, so manhandling people is not the way to change them, you make them see reasons and show them the consequences of doing otherwise, that's all you should beat your child once in a while not every time, if he refused going to school# u kpai, if its too cold and he won't bath you kpai, if he pee on himself because he's scared of the father who became a masquarade due to constant flogging u kpai, if he becomes used to your cane and he doesn't flee anymore when he sees it you gbosa, believe me at time will come he will grow up and beat you up

bros forget gist..... ve u been to their prison? their prisons re better equipped yet they kill dem sel inside d prison. My point is train ur child in d African way cuz d western pattern won't help neither u nor d child

Jonathan2787:
parents are the reason why any child can be spoilt, you can't sow something and reap another, that's why I like western parents they don't what Africans do, for instance parents in Africa argue in front of their kids, they fight in their presence, they say hurtful things about each others family so why do you want a child who has heard and seen such things not to do the same. and there's the issue of trait,that's why an elephant can never give birth to an ant. then the constant flogging you are not helping the child because with time he wont be scared of your cane again. if prefer sitting kids down and talking to them, grounding them like western parents do, seizing things they hold dear for awhile,teaching them that simple act of gratefulness, telling them how your favors are privileges not right, enforcing the respect of seniority. I remember my mum preventing us from beating our stubborn last born saying he's a kid an eight years boy so insolent and spoilt he even knows things I don't know yet he's still a kid.

u re talking about western kid n African kids....... were do u get spoilt kids d most? whose society is most rotten?

Bolade005:
Seriously it's quite appalling and totally melancholic. In as much as I am a progressive, I cannot continue to sit idly by and let common sense and logic be turn on its head. Baba needs to wake up because he has done next to nothing since he became president.

It's saddening really, how can our President leave for Iran when there is fuel crisis in the county and as if that's not enough, he's going on a fruitless journey to Malta for some Environmental talk. Come on, that's disrespect to the people of Nigeria.

Mr President should have nominated himself as Minister of Tourism and not Petroleum. I'm not really bothered about his perpetual travelling but what irks me is the timing. There is hardship in the country and you keep flying all about for reasons that is of no benefit to the common man. Who does that?

Maybe wailers are right. Maybe we have indeed entered one chance. Time will tell.

bros he's going to Paris from Malta abi u neva hear

Dear Mr President Buhari
Does it mean you are not feeling the pains the common man is going through at the moment? You just came back from Iran then you are now heading to Malta then you will be going to Paris from Malta. We voted you to be our president and not to become nomad or tourist.
You said we are broke yet you are waisting the scarce resources on touring the world. You have toured all the continents in less than five months yet the price of fuel has risen to 300 per liter while dollar is more than 230.
President we need you to stay with us and let's solve our problems ourselves.

gigabyte13:
Haaaahaaaaaaaa

hiiihioooohuuuuu



PDP and there infant spoon-fed senators. Can somebody help me tell this over-fed infant senators that, they are now the minority? They should not allow SAI BUKKY deceive them, they still remain the minority whichever way.



How many times was OBJ summoned in his time as petroleum minister ? Common Allison they lack the courage to summoned despite there large numbers then. Na BABA go-slow una wan call?



It will take BABA 4years to get to the assembly complex and another 4years to locate where the red-chamber is.

PDP cluelessness is getting bigger,fatter,larger and huge, day by day.

its a pity u re defending wickedness..... if OBJ wasn't invited does dat make it ryt? Or re u enjoying d scarcity?
