See the meaning below 👇

If the case at the SC was about the budget then that is not what many of us are looking out for.
That is but the real case.

tope777:
Bro, its normal thing in law to be fined when you withdraw a case,fubara legal team knows what they are doing( you can as well ask any competent lawyer around you)

Stay turned for the real deal.

I just came to understand that the case is about budget representation.
This is not a case and not what many of us are waiting for.

tope777:
Make I help them. Maybe English too hard:

-> Gov. Sim Fubara no lose case! E legal team withdraw di appeal because di matter don pass.

-> Dem follow Supreme Court Rules 2024 wey talk say if matter don lose relevance, e fit withdraw.

-> E no mean say Fubara accept anything! Na just say di case no dey necessary again.

-> No believe fake news! No let people like Lere Olayinka deceive una.

-> Fubara still dey in charge and e dey move Rivers State forward.

-> Make we focus on beta governance instead of unnecessary talk.

A case that has lost relevance can be withdrawn and you say the governor is in charge even when he was fined?
.Trouble looms but many think it's a child's play.

Breaking News

The Supreme has dismissed Fubara Appeal against Marthins led Assembly.

Amaewhule led Assembly are the Authentic House speaker and members.

Whay exactly is the real judgment and verdict of the SC?

Because I'm hearing over the radio that Gov. Fubara withdrew the case from the SC?

MaxInDHouse:
The only thing you found really difficult to agree with is that God isn't omnipresent there is nothing more i am giving you all the scriptures pointing to what i'm saying.
If it's a pastor with a mighty church and millions of church members it won't be a matter of discussion.
Of course God can be present in all the places if He wants to but there is one reason why He won't do that for now.

Holy men of God inspired by the Holy Spirit wrote the Holy Bible. Holy men of God inspired by the Holy Spirit will also interpret the Holy Bible.

You need the indwelling of the Holy Spirit to interpret the Holy Bible.

MaxInDHouse:
He is the angel representing God in their midst he did so to verify how barbaric the inhabitants of the land are.
Note that no one can harm an angel but the Sodomites don't know that the two handsome men aren't humans.
Jesus watched all these to confirm that Sodomites deserve to be annihilated.

Please if you aren't comfortable with my response it's OK, there's no reason to insult someone for what he or she believes that's the same as attacking people for their beliefs!

I am not insulting you.
You are misinterpreting the Word of God. You are really doing it.

Please of what benefit is Sharia to the Muslim community in Nigeria since it's existence?



These people are ready to die for something that does not improve their welfare and livelihood and even their spiritual lives. They will never tell their people to not vote anyone who does not embrace infrastructural development.
Well it's always the gullible. Those who promote don't do it for free. It's the gullible that's at risk of getting their limbs amputed.

MaxInDHouse:
Those angels weren't sent to Abraham so when Jesus led them to Abraham it's for a reason to know what Abraham thinks about his nephew so since Abraham spoke in defense of his nephew it's clear that he held no grudge against him but then those two angels needs to prove that those cities deserves destruction Jesus became invisible to see how Sodomites will treat visitors and their actions proved that they all deserve to be destroyed along with their young ones! Genesis 19:4-5

Three angels came visiting Abraham all visible.
Two angels and one invisible angle went into Sodam and Gomorrah.
So the invincible angel remained so, to enable him see how the people of the land would treat the two strange visitors?!!!!

Are you really serious in your understanding and interpretation of all this?

Your assertion is that Jesus Christ remained invincible to see how they would molest the strange visitors who are angels !
Why would Jesus Christ prefer that when He would have gotten first hand experience by the hand of the molesters?

Please can anyone tell me what happened between him and his first wife?

MaxInDHouse:
Those angels brings the report but since they are not merciful like God He has to send His only begotten Son who always represent Him among the angels to inspect before destroying those cities.

Note that it was three men Abraham saw {Genesis 18:2} but only two were reported to have gotten to Sodom and Gomorah {Genesis 19:1} the third one speaking for God is Jesus just as he always represent his father! Exodus 13:21; 14:19

You said God is not omnipresent from the onset.
So if God said , He wants to come down and see for Himself how come the third angel as you said is Jesus Christ did accompany the other two angels into the land of Sodom and Gomorrah to go and see for Himself?
At least it wasn't three angels that has visited the house of Lot?
So why would the third angel as you said is Jesus Christ disobey God, His Father?

MaxInDHouse:
NO!
After the rebellion in the garden of Eden God assigned some angels who are roving about the earth {2Chronicles 16:9} they are the ones serving as eyes for Him {Ezekiel 10:12} these are the creatures reporting to Him whatever is happening in all the earth!

So from your description above it was the angels who reported to God about the sins of Sodom and Gomorrah.

If that is the case, in your previous assertion of self explanatory that God is not omnipresent. Then why would the Lord have any need to come down and see for Himself?
Does it mean He does not believe the report of His angels as it concerns Sodom and Gomorrah?

MaxInDHouse:
The highlighted is self explanatory!

Yes, it's self explanatory. But you're mistaken in your interpretation of it.

The LORD has heard the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah.
It means the land itself speaks against the people for their sin is grave(grievous). It is the land crying out. The sin of the people destroys the land. The land cannot bear their iniquities anymore. It is the land that seeks the judgement to be carried against the people.

So the LORD is even overwhelmed by such outburst of cry.

Imagine your child performance in school is not just bad but extremely poor. The facts have been shown to you through the child's notebooks, test results, assignments, exams, etc,etc, but you as a parent found it hard to believe and you sought to come and confirm if it's the teacher of the child that's deliberately making your child to perform poorly in academics.

MaxInDHouse:
The highlighted is self explanatory!

Very good of you.

Rev.20.12 - And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books.
Rev.20.13 - The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works.




Please allow me to digress...
Please regarding the bold, what do you think is the intention of God?

Try to give your response putting into consideration your previous comment based on the self explained verse you brought up and I also put up.

MaxInDHouse:
According to the Bible God is not present everywhere!

God said to Abraham :

“The outcry against Sodʹom and Go·morʹrah is indeed great, and their sin is very heavy. I will go down to see whether they are acting according to the outcry that has reached me. And if not, I can get to know it.” Genesis 18:20-21

How can God be everywhere yet He wants to go and verify the reports brought to Him?

Gen.18.20 - And the LORD said, "Because the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grave,
Gen.18.21 - I will go down now and see whether they have done altogether according to the outcry against it that has come to Me; and if not, I will know."



Please read both verses again and let me know if you still stand by your comment...

A lot of people are just spitting.....

The beignning of failure of any opposition merger is the fronting of a Northern Presidential aspirant to oust the incumbent Southern.

Though it happened before but before is not like the present.

Celepope:
I have practically used this topic to almost complete my house and also discover that I am being ripped off by my former site Engineer. Thanks to those who have contributed to this topic. I have a question. 6 inches blocks was used for the upper floor of my house . Now I am in a dilemma regarding pipping of the toilets. Is it advisable to do a full conduit piping on the pipe that will send down the toilet waste to the chamber or I should just do an open pipping that is visible all the way to the chamber? Because I am being told that it will require seriously cracking the walls because piping was not made provision for during the decking phase. I don't mind the walls being cracked to conceal the pipes but is it advisable and doable?

In the construction environment everything and anything is possible. It's only manpower,finance, the skill set and right tools to do the work.

Please try and respond to this question(s)...

(1) The positioning of the toilets on the up floor on the same position/alignment as that on the ground floor?

(2) Have the toilet waste pipe installed in the wall of the toilets on the ground floor?

CodeTemplar:
it should.

100 bags of cement is approximately #1M.

Do you know how many bags of cement he will use for just the sub-structure?

Do you know how many bags he will use for just the decking slab of the superstructure?

Then appropriate amounts for the rods and all sorts....

the location of the VP’s newly built official residence, which they said is not ideal for occupancy by a high profile national public officer like the No.2 citizen of Nigeria.


Please could anyone explain what they mean it's not ideal for occupancy by a high profile NPO like the No.2 ?



At least we know it's not thi administration that selected that point so who was responsible for such siting and why was it not made know to them then that it's not a suitable place for housing the VP?



Maybe they should use it as a shopping mall ?

Nonexisting1:
The most notorious among was just 20yrs old. Some of them are even 19, the same 19 that I was and was still too afraid to press woman breast. But these small boys have already carried gun and even killed people. This world has gone crazy. Who are raising these children? Must be product of single mothers. Most boys raised by women either turn out behaving like women or turn out as very aggressive men with criminal tendencies.

If you blame single mothers, how about single fathers ?

Also what makes you even think those who are raised by both parents assuming children are actually raised by both come out right and better than those from single hood?

APOPTOSIS:
And you witnessed God signing this constitution. Sometimes the way you Guys type even in old age without pausing to reflect on extraterrestrial things is amazing.
The same Bible tells you know one has seen God, and that means no one has heard from God. Yet a Nigerian pastor will tell you he heard from God and you will head home believing. Yet you believe everything people wrote down telling you they heard from God. What if Chinua Achebe and Soyinka had told us they heard from God and their books of folktales were fixed into verses and chapters?
Would you have rejected their gods?

How are we sure these gods of men didn't hear from the devil at some point?
How were they able to test the voices they heard since no one has ever seen God or the devil? Which language does God speak?
Is God a Christian, Muslim or Hindu?
Ask your self questions for once.
Challenge your intellect. An unexamined life is not worth living. Religion instills fears and makes people dumb preventing them from questioning things.

Extraterrestrial
God
Devil


Soyinka and Achebe writing about their own gods...



It's not bad.
Religion is not of God but man made. That I'll tell you for free.
Why?
Being a Christian or a Muslim or whatever you could name it wouldn't make one a child of God.

Do you know what would make one a child of God?

What do you believe in?

Drella:
The main issue is that “thing that will give me some form of wages”

I want to believe you're in an environment.
Think about what's lacking in your environment that people need most that you can offer services and get wages.

You can even start adult education classes for the elderly and aged. There are even some young people who would require such.

If you have strength and can work smart and safe you can visit construction sites.

All you need is to think.
Not everything needs money to start up.

Drella:
Sir please how can I be on track?
I’m a fresh graduate but the future looks gloomy.

Can you advise me so me too can be able to build a house in the future?

It's best you trust in God through Christ Jesus. He is the best hope any man can get.


As long as you're doing something that gives your some form of wages, you can start by having some little kept as savings like those people who do akawo....

You can have a dedicated account where you put in such monies be it daily, weekly or monthly as often as your earninga come and you can grow your savings. You can even have a target per month to be achieved or per year.


I don't know which State you're resident or where you most likely would want to get lands. If you do your inquiries well and properly you can get a good land for as low as #500,000 depending on the location of the land. There are lands in areas thata still considered bush or forest or farmlands. You can do a projection like that on about 10 years, that the government might have done some form of infrastructure development that would open up the place and thereby giving the land an added value and you can also start building something for yourself or for rental.


Just do some inquiries without anyone figuring what your real intentions are so you don't get duped by thieves.

funkmrflexx:
I've been married close to 4 years now with a 2 year old boy, but marriage isn't what I envisioned it to be.

Like the said, if marriage was renewable every 5 years, I wouldn't even bother. I feel like I'm losing myself to this thing called marriage, aside from the responsibilities that comes with providing, the mental and psychological stress.

I've never been this stressed in my life and I'm someone who's usually able to handle a lot of stress, I just feel like I need time alone from everything and everyone, no calls, no text. Nothing.

And my wife even makes it worse with threats of leaving the marriage over any small issue. I think the biggest mistake of my life is getting married and I know a lot go men go through this to but they can't talk.

And that's why a lot of men die young these days.

(1) Why did you get married in the first instance?


(2) You have not actually said the issues that is now making you to discontinue the relationship with your wife?



(3) I wonder what will make a man to want to abandon his children with their mother?



(4) I am suspecting you're an over zealous play boy with wrongly placed intentions.

To build this kind of 5 bedroom dublex, how much can someone budget.

Note we don't need high roofing, it's either this type of roofing on the picture below or hidden roofing.

Since you say it's a budget then to be safe you should be looking at #120M which includes it's finishing at moderate taste. Luxury finishing will take much more.

Tracy2020:
Hello, I just came across this thread and read through from 2023. I’m building a 3 bedroom on a standard one plot in Lagos. All room en suite with guest toilet. I just got a quote for soak away which is 1.5m and fence which includes plastering at 2.9m. Cement cost at 10300. Please I want to know if this is a reasonable quote cos I’m in the U.S. Thank you.

You'll have to tell us what type of soak away it is and it's dimensions .

Your plot exact measurements will have to be stated and the height of the fence constructed and are you plastering both inside and outside of it ?

I hope those States who go ahead to do mass weddings for widows, widowers, orphans, etc,etc won't be complaining too?

Great100000:
A fresh proposal by the House of Representatives Constitution Review Committee to create 31 additional states in Nigeria has triggered strong reactions from prominent individuals and socio-political groups across the country.

The proposal, which would increase Nigeria’s current 36 states to 67, was contained in a letter read during Thursday’s plenary session by Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu, who presided in the absence of Speaker Tajudeen Abbas.

According to the letter, the proposed states include:

– North-Central: Okun, Okura, and Confluence (from Kogi); Benue Ala and Apa (from Benue); FCT State

– North-East: Amana (Adamawa); Katagum (Bauchi); Savannah (Borno); Muri (Taraba)

– North-West: New Kaduna, Gujarat (Kaduna); Tiga, Ari (Kano); Kainji (Kebbi)

– South-East: Etiti, Orashi (sixth states in the South-East); Adada (Enugu); Orlu (Imo); Aba (Abia)


– South-South: Ogoja (Cross River); Warri (Delta); Ori, Obolo (Rivers)

– South-West: Torumbe (Ondo); Ibadan (Oyo); Lagoon (Lagos); Ijebu, Ogun (Ogun); Oke-Ogun/Ijesha (Oyo/Ogun/Osun)

The committee stated that the creation of new states must meet constitutional requirements, including a two-thirds majority approval from the National Assembly, the affected State Houses of Assembly, and Local Government Councils.

Afenifere, Arewa Groups Reject Proposal

However, major socio-cultural groups, including Afenifere and the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), have rejected the proposal, describing it as “ridiculous and unnecessary.”

The National Organising Secretary of Afenifere, Abagun Kole Omololu in an interview with Punch, dismissed the move, stating that it contradicts Afenifere’s longstanding demand for true federalism.

“Instead of addressing the core structural issues plaguing Nigeria, this initiative appears to be a mere political exercise that will further weaken governance and deepen economic inefficiencies.’’

Afenifere has consistently advocated genuine fiscal federalism, similar to what Nigeria’s founding fathers agreed upon before independence.

Omololu noted, “The creation of more states without a viable economic foundation will only compound the financial burden on the nation, as many existing states are already struggling to generate sufficient Internally Generated Revenue and rely heavily on federal allocations to survive.

“Turning every local government into a state is not the solution to Nigeria’s governance challenges. The real issue is not the number of states but the dysfunctional federal structure that has concentrated power at the centre, stifling regional development.”

Instead of proliferating states that may later be unviable, Afenifere urged the National Assembly to focus on constitutional reforms that would devolve power, return resource control to the regions, and grant states the autonomy to develop at their own pace.

“Nigeria needs a system where states or regions control their resources and contribute an agreed percentage to the federal government, just as it was during the First Republic. This is the only path to sustainable development, not the reckless creation of more administrative units.

“Afenifere rejects this proposal and calls on well-meaning Nigerians to resist attempts to distract from the real conversation—restructuring and true federalism,” Omololu declared.

Arewa Consultative Forum Oppose Lawmakers’ Move

The Arewa Consultative Forum similarly expressed strong opposition to the proposed creation of 31 new states, describing the idea as unnecessary.

Ohanaeze Endorse Move

The apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide declared that the South-East should be allocated more states to address “the wrongs that had been done to the region on state creation.’’

Ohanaeze’s National Publicity Secretary, Ezechi Chukwu, stated, “It is unfortunate that such a bill is also aimed at suppressing the South-East as usual. It is completely unacceptable that Southeast should be appropriated only five states.

“South-East, all these while, is the only zone in the Federal Republic of Nigeria that has the least number of states irrespective of our population and our contributions both economically and infrastructural development of the nation.

“So, giving southeast such a small number of five states in this bill when others that already have advantages orchestrated by successive governments before now is quite unacceptable and unfortunately, it is above all antithetical to the commonwealth of the South-Easterners and the so-called equity we are preaching in the country.”

He added, “South-East deserves more states more than any other zone in the country because South-East is the only zone that has been short-changed over the years by successive governments. So, if justice and equity should prevail southeast must be given the highest number of states.

“So, if the Federal Government fails to correct the wrongs that had been done to the South-East over the years, this is the time to at least give this equation some terms of balance by appropriating more number states to the South-East to make up with the other geopolitical zones.”

The Pan-Niger Delta Forum observed that the creation of more states could be meaningful if all the geo-political zones in the country have equal states as agreed in the last constitutional conference.

The spokesman for PANDEF, Christopher Ominimini, however, queried the viability of new states, pointing out that states should be created based on self-sustainability.

If the creation of more states became necessary, he argued it should be done equally across the board to even with the North-West, which has seven states.

Anything short of that, he noted, would be a perpetuation of the injustice in the country.

He said a situation where more states would be created to depend on the oil and gas from the Niger Delta region, while other states with mineral resources are allowed to exploit theirs is not the way to go.

He stated, “ Well, it is the right of the people to call for the creation of states. However, the most important thing is that in the last constitutional conference, it was agreed that all the geopolitical zones should have seven states each as it is in the North-West.

“So, the South -East should have additional two states so that it would be seven states. The South- West should have additional states to make it seven states.

He added, “But the question we want to ask is ‘will the states be viable?’ Do they have the means of survival if the vision of our forefathers are kept to? Because the vision of our forefathers who fought for the independence of this country is that the various states should control their resources and pay tax to the centre.”



https://www.google.com/amp/s/punchng.com/ex-nassembly-members-groups-fault-reps-31-new-states-proposal/%3famp

What the country needs now is basically each zone should have the maximum of 7 States in it, so those regions yet to be 7 should benefit from the creation of Staets.
Moreso after the creation, the FG should empower the SG to create Cluster Development Areas or Rural Development Areas and after some years where we see that usefulness of allocated funds for meaningful development properly utilized, then the SGs with proofs of such development can apply to the FG to upgrade those RDAs into LGAs.

Amaechi Dedicates Award To Wike Completing Medical College Of Rivers Varsity



https://leadership.ng/amaechi-dedicates-award-to-wike-completing-medical-college-of-rivers-varsity/

Something definitely is happening....
At least we now know that the FCT Minister when he was governor did not abandon all of Amaechi's projects even those conceived and initiated. Today we are told Wike completed it. Rivers people have their own college of medicine. Wike is an achiever.

I hope Gov. Fubara, his supporters and those who have hatred for Amaechi and Wike are seeing what is happening.
Who would even think or believe that CRA will commend Wike in this times of troubles.

MufasaLion:
Adding "the First Daughter of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR)." in the letter is so irrelevant. We don't need that information. Your position as the market leader is enough to get the attention of the king.

You never can't tell.......maybe the President has many daughters and I guess she's only trying to lay a legitimate title in a Nigerian way.
Where there is a first family then there is a first daughter as well as a first son.

Gbam! Grade 1 - 12


PS: I witnessed this very type of Grade 1-12 system when i worked in an European country as an English teacher.. I tell you its truly a brilliant system, allows students to fully develop academically and hands-on skills.

I was greatly impressed.

Are you still working in that European country?

Do you not know that educational models are structured in a way that it suits the country and her needs thereby adding value to the economy !!!!

Do you think this model is well suited to the needs of Nigeria given the kind of leaders we get?

Those who make this models in this country with their outdated models which is of no use to modern day theories and ideals still ask the FG to extend their age of retirement to 70 years......
