Seun Okinbaloye's interview on #PoliticsToday with a former Governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Tambuwal (T).

This is the only question that needs the response of Tambuwal.....

PMB, a Northerner just finished two tenure of eight years and another Northerner in the person of Atiku wants to take over leadership, is that in the interest of Nigeria?

Rapmoney:
I just stumbled on the Super Mario Bros game that was first released in 1985. Fond memories. I used my saved pocket money to buy the Terminator Game Console that we used in playing Super Mario and other games like Contra, Duck Hunt and Mortal Kombat.

I literally trekked to school for a long time just to save N850 which I used to purchase the game. This was in 1996. My house became a theatre, always filled with friends until Popsy seized the game and asked me to concentrate on my books. If you get this game console that year, you be sabi pikin.

How many of you saw the princess at the end in Super Mario?

Nintendo, Sega and Gameboy were the order of the day till this came out with multiple inbuilt games.

ZombieDredd:
finished this game many times after i learnt the cheat

my best was contra and MK though

You dey play Mario with cheat just to rescue princess from the dragon, when some of us can actually take just a life, take a good number of power ups and growth and shooting power to finish the game in just one time.....

Good morning all
I want us all to look into a request from a returning parent and come up with suggestions, advise, examples(picture samples) etc.
A family left our school some years back while their daughters were in nursery and lower pry classes.

They're planning to come back now while they are in the secondary sch Ss2 and SS 1 now
One going to SS2 didn't do well in our entrance test at all which we advised to repeat.
The SS1 performed excellently
So parents said they can't be in same classes. That they will get extra teachers you know their excuses.

The reasons why they left was that they took them to a Faith based sch so they could learn their religion, Islam, Long hijabs.
Now coming they want us to allow them wear hijabs in which I said NO cos ours isn't a Faith based sch as I won't even allow Christians SU cover their hair in sch.

I suggested that they buy them beret caps and wear after sch. So the parents went back home to think over it.

Do you think we should bend our rules to accommodate them buy allowing Beret, which the parents agreed to or we should maintain our standards knowing fully well that other parents would replicate.

Also I think IRS is now a compulsory subject in secondary schools new curriculum


Google Image used for illustration

The only question you should ask yourself is that "why would they attend a faith based school where they are allowed to practice their religion and now leave that school and come to yours and tell you to allow them dress in accordance to their faith ?!!!!!!


Would you now allow the children of a native doctor bearing chalk marks on their face and putting leaves on their mouth attend your school because they ask you?



I can tell you freely, you don't need such money from such persons if they insist to come. The wearing of berets should be allowed just for one religious faith except yi want to make it part of the school dress code..

AMINDA:
Sorry, I can't help you. If you're asking whether he ran a government of stomach infrastructure like Fayose did, the answer is no. Goodbye.

As far as Nigeria is concerned, politics and governance, I naturally don't equate anyone's number of academic certificates, portfolios obtained and purported outstanding performance of private or public service if whatever they did did not alleviate the livelihood of the common man. If there are no significant signs then it's just all talk and paper.

AMINDA:
He took Kaduna from an average of 9 billion naira per year IGR to over 60 billion naira when he left office. Kaduna became the Northern State with the highest IGR during his tenure. Kaduna was consistently top 5 state that attracted the highest FDI while he was governor. He embarked on the iconic and ambitious KadunaUrbanRenewal drive that transformed the city of Kaduna into a very modern city. You can either visit Kaduna to see for yourself or do your research online. There's no Nigerian alive that can doubt the capacity of Elrufai to deliver in any task he's assigned. He delivered as DG BPE, delivered as FCT Minister (still the best till date) and delivered as governor of Kaduna state.

How does this translate into the betterment of welfare of the populace he governed?

kolente:
For El-rufai to appear in a 45 minutes show on Live TV and all his comments are literally being dissected bit by bit whilst being on the front page of every SM platform say a lot about his influence and reach.

Nasir-El Rufai is a big fish in Northern Nigeria take it or leave it.

I doubt if there is anyone in the entire North with three seperate academic qualifications spanning Quantity Survey, Business Management & Law with Fourty (40) certifications from Harvard alone.

The dude knows exactly what he wants and even the Vice President Kashim Shettima "warned" that he cannot be underrated.

El-Rufai giving them wotowoto.

With the bolded he possess, what was the economic index, infrastructural development index and FDI of Kaduna State when he was State governor?

Good afternoon...
Please does anyone have any idea how much is this sold for ?

Who are the PDP governors that Bala Mohammed is counting on and do the all of them combined have what it takes to take on ad stand against the Honourable Minister of the FCT?

MaxInDHouse:
Jesus didn't promise me that i can sleep in the house of people who don't share my faith rather he promised me that there awaits me a home everywhere i go as long as my brothers and sisters in the faith lives there! Mark 10:29-30

If by your faith, you mean only those of JW then you're no longer of the faith as spoken of by Christ Jesus.

MaxInDHouse:
Can a member of any of these religions travel anywhere and feel safe in the home of strangers simply because they belong to the same religion?
Can a member of any of these religions welcome a stranger into their house simply because such a person belongs to their religion?

That's what Jesus promised his disciples! Mark 10:29-30🙂

Let me ask this question back to you differently......

How possible is it for a JW to sleep in the house of one who is of a different faith?

MaxInDHouse:
So who told you the KJV has not been mistranslated and full of indoctrination?

You people have eyes but don't see ears you have but don't understand {Psalms 115:4-8} if you so much believe in one version of the Bible whereas it's not the original manuscript from the inspired writers Jesus said:

By their fruits you will recognize them. Never do people gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles, do they?  Likewise, every good tree produces fine fruit, but every rotten tree produces worthless fruit.  A good tree cannot bear worthless fruit, nor can a rotten tree produce fine fruit." Matthew 7:16-18

Translators of KJV did what they knew but there best is not good enough since the 16th century users of the KJV have failed to have the same line of thought {John 17:22; 1Corinthans 1:10; 1Peter 3:8} there is no love among it's users {John 13:34-35} they are not zealous for fine works of preaching and teaching about God's Kingdom {Matthew 28:19-20} those who are known as preachers among them monetized the word of God! Matthew 10:7-10

So of what benefit is your KJV that you are rating above other translations when users of our own Bible are known global as WITNESSES of the fine works taught by the Prince of Peace? Isaiah 9:6; Act 1:8

So you mean ministries like Living Faith Church, Salvation Ministries, Greater Evangelism World Crusade , Christ Embassy, Deeper Life, Catholic church, are not known witnesses of the gospel of Christ Jesus?

MaxInDHouse:
OK then, so next time watch carefully before quoting people because we are competent students of God's word not follow follow!

The mere fact that certain verses are removed from your organizations bible, which is completely different from the KJV shows you're a competent follow follow of your organization.

Where was Abraham?
Has resurrection occured?
Has judgment taken place?
Is Abraham's bosom close to Hell?
What Good did Lazarus do?
What evil did the rich man do?
How many prophets lived with Moses?

You people just read without thinking of the meaning of Jesus' PARABLE! Matthew 13:13-15

We are all entitled to our thinking.
In the resurrection day it doesn't matter wherever each one finds themselves.

MaxInDHouse:
The word "HELL" is English while "HADES" is Greek meaning of the Hebrew word "SHEOL"

Just type:
What is the meaning of the Hebrew word "SHEOL" in any search engine.

In Hebrew, SHEOL (שְׁאוֹל) refers to the underworld, the realm of the dead, or the grave, a shadowy place of silence and separation from God where all people, both righteous and unrighteous, go after death. It is often described as a land of deep darkness and gloom, a temporary state before a future resurrection in later Jewish thought, and is not a place of eternal punishment like the concept of Hell developed later in some cultures.
SHEOL/HADES:
These terms, primarily used in the Old and New Testaments respectively, often refer to the general realm of the dead or the underworld. They can be seen as a place of waiting or a general state of the dead, rather than a specific place of punishment.
GEHENNA:
This term, frequently used in the New Testament, is often linked to the valley of Hinnom outside Jerusalem, a place where refuse and dead bodies were burned. In this context, GEHENNA is often used to describe a place of fire and punishment, representing a final, eternal separation from God for the wicked.

The churches later borrowed place of torment from pagan traditions not from the Bible!

I am very sure the parable of Lazarus who died and was in the bosom of Abraham and the rich who found himself in a place where he was asking the poor man Lazarus for water....

This is not included in your Bible or you have a different interpretation of it!!!!

If Jonathan contest obi would step aside and he would best tinubu blue black

Even wike won't dare condemn Jonathan

Do not deceive yourself. It would be hard for GEJ to beat PBAT. Voting is not social media. There are lots of people at the grassroots in the South South that will work against GEJ becoming president again.


Have you asked yourself what will GEJ be using as a bargaining chip to draw supporters from former governors and present governors.

Even in Bayelsa State, they will work against him. Let's not even talk of Rivers State. There's so much personal stakes and not many people who want to throw theirs away for a GEJ candidacy and presidency.

If El Rufai ca say this then I see no reason whatsoever he should be complaining about PBAT......Except he thinks he can thrive now on sentiments feeding his kinds.

We all hope Southern Kaduna people will hold up banners with the inscription of the atrocities he did them on their lands the entirety of his tenure...
Let them play him the evil he meted out on them.

sonnie10:
There is always a red flag. Most times when a contractor or vendor gives a quote that is even less than the materials estimate involved, it becomes questionable. There is nowhere they won't cut corners to get something out of the job. Sometimes clients are too busy or lazy to do their due diligence, what matters to them is the lowest quote aka cheap charges. In a country where professional regulations are lacking, not everyone will have the ethical values to do what is right.
For instance, if I have a job say to plaster a wall that will take 10bags of cement and 10 tons of sand to complete, then a contractor says he will take #150k (labor and material) to do it. Right there, is the red flag.
cement @ 10k x 10 = 100k
Sand 10tons = 70k
water?
Labor?
What this means is that he is planning to use only about 5 bags of cement to do shady job that will crack in no time.

When we did this fence, some people said its over the board to use iron rod for the pillars and to do chain but my contactor insisted.

As a good professional your contractor will advise and insist and as a good client, you adhered to your contractors' instructions.
Not many clients are like you.

In as much as we do know that many a times contractors do certain things over the board and use engineering terms and design to cajole the client into getting the work done.
I for one don't give myself to over design of structure. I look at the terrain, continually observe the environment and do what is appropriate per time.
It's not everyone who possess the requisite real practical field experience and ability to make use of their engineering brains in challenging situations.

Pastor William Kumuyi, has announced sweeping changes to some of the church’s long-standing marriage regulations, stressing that they are administrative guidelines rather than divine commandments.

Speaking at the 2025 Global Family and Marriage Conference, Pastor Kumuyi urged Christians to differentiate between God’s unchanging laws and church rules, which, he said, can be adjusted to meet practical realities.



It is good this is coming from Daddy G.O.

Is this the same El Rufai who did not better the lives of those in Southern Kaduna but still won his second tenure, saying such !!!!!!

Donake:
Who broke the assembly with a televised defection only for the nicompoos to retract and seek cover from a controlled judiciary? Your analysis are very short of secondary school or the highest an OND background....

You can do better than this.....

Get an affidavit affirming you're the CoS to PBAT.

stainzvill:
But wait is it even constitutional for a sole administrator of a state to conduct local government elections?

Is there any law that says he cannot?

Try and get to read the powers conferred on him by PBAT when he was made sole administrator. It's within his limits.
Anyone not in support should take the National Assembly to court for letting PBAT do such.



Even that statement made by VP Shettima about the the President doesn't have the powers to suspend a State governor is somewhat controversial.......Reason....

Whatever happened in Borno State when Shettima was State Governor during PGEJ administration is completely different from the issues that occured in Rivers State.

The case of Rivers State has a State Governor having two different State Assembly headed by two different speakers.
Those on the side of the Fubara are just four members including his Speaker as recognize him. Those against him are seventeen including the Speaker.

So with this we have to be told which of the houses/gatherings is the legitimate for passing of budgets and screening of commissioners nominees to be appointed and others which falls under the purview of the State Assembly.


The courts has done justice to that and the rest is history.

FEGEITOK:
I moved to a new house and all the wires from the pole to the house are black.

All the wires from the meter into the house are black.

All the wires to and from the phases are black.

The wires into the ELCB is black, live and neutral out of the ELCB into the DB are red.

I went to market yesterday to buy 6mm wire and they say they have only red, I said I want black and white, they said use tape to make the red black that they have only red.

I think that for my sanity I will keep looking for the wires of the proper colors and rewire the wiring.

I literally had to go to youtube before I could connect my inverter to the house because of this nonsense

I will also replace the ELCB with my own RCCB.

I have seen it trip off in response to an overload that caused a fire and also trip off when water got into one of the circuits of the freezer wires, so I am a convert through and through.

The house even has an earth fault and I wonder how easy it is going to be to troubleshoot

Except if the cables are substandard, just get a good and diligent electrician and let him trace the wires and run coloured tapes on the wires for proper identification at the necessary points through and through.

MaxInDHouse:
Please reread my post again before quoting me.
I asked a question try to meditate on that question!

I'm trying to wonder why and from where is your question coming from?

Did you read the actual post before raising that question or you have read it some place else and you are privilege to more information than what was written by the Op in brief...

MaxInDHouse:
Did you tell her you intended to become a pastor? Because it's rare for a lady today to turn down proposal of a prospective Daddy G.O o!

Did you read the post till the point where he said he had to be frying buns as a houseboy?

Did he say he was a G.O at that time or had the calling to be what he is today?

Softmirror:
The bolded statement shows the reason why most of you people's argument lacks substance. Try and find out the cost of a bag of cement in 1976 match it up with the price today that way you can have an idea of the value of #20 you are calling ordinary.

I won't say his intention was meant to look down on the #20. I would also say, he probably is one of those who never had the luck to have received that amount of money and get to spend it. He possibly may be a child even born year 2000'''.

Alleged Blasphemy: Angry Youths Kill Female Food Seller in Niger State

Whenever there's a purported blasphemy in that region, we hear the mob overpowered the security operatives and eventually killed their victim.....

if it's the southern part, you'll hear the security operatives shot at the mob...

At this junction PBAT should direct all security agencies within 48 hours to arrest everyone arrestable, the security operatives that were overpowered, the imans within that district, the local government chairman and district head and everyone present in that gathering . They are all complicit to that crime.
