We had to begged them with 4k. Fools Sir, be fair to even yourself, the signs that say NO PARKING are clearly all over that zone why then did you park? You did not mistakenly park there...you deliberately parked there. That action causes a lot of traffic , people may miss their flights and indeed it is a security risk to everybody. Again you have placed self over others. FAAN provided more than enough parking spaces which are meant to be used Im sure you are well scholled and educated, that airforce man likely is a school cert....he displayed more intelligence than you.

I am laughing out loud because it is a case of two evils meeting each other.
The FAAN official can collect bribes from the dead ...they are corrupt and above the law, the Airforce guys act with impunity.
The FAAN people do not allow parking on the drive way to avoid congestion and avoid security issues. Above all, Nigerians would rather disobey simple rules than obey, when force is applied to ensure compliance we are shout blue murder.
e.g in this era of fuel queues, Nigerians will crowd the pumps and infact a man will park his car at the end of the queue come to the pump with a keg and fight to get served before people who have been on the queue for hours. Where a road is designated as two lanes ...just small traffic build upp and you see people who are elites forming 10 lanes. .....usually area boys will end up controlling the traffic.
Lets ask ourselves are we civil enough to be treated in a civil manner? The populace is uncivil and we are demanding for the Airforce to be civil as if the airforce men are not from within us....easy to criticise!
Why did the FAAN guy think the rules they made did not apply to him? He deserved what he got honestly and quite obviously he tried to exert his powers as a FAAN official in our typical "do you know who I am manner"........he got what he bargained for ...simple! ...I never argue with a man with a gun or horse whip...even if you are the son of the commander in chief...comply first and challenge safely later on.

omojeesu: THANK YOU. NO, IT IS NOT ABOUT COLONIALISM NOR MISAPPLICATION OF THE SCRIPTURE. IT IS ABOUT CIVILITY, RULE OF LAW AND GOD' MORAL JUSTICE AND HIS AGAPE LOVE. I AGREE THAT THEY CAN ESCAPE JUSTICE LEGALLY ESPECIALLY IN NIGERIA WITH OUR LEVEL OF CORRUPTION. THE LAW (HUMAN LEGAL & JUDICIAL SYSTEM) INDEED CAN BE AN ASS, UNFORTUNATELY SO.
BUT, EVEN, IF THEY ESCAPE JUSTICE ON EARTH THEY WONT IN HEAVEN AND THAT IS IF THEY DIE IN THEIR SINS. IF THEY REPENT AT THE LAST MINUTE LIKE THE THIEF ON THE CROSS THEY WILL GO TO HEAVEN, WHILE SOME THEY'VE KILLED ON EARTH COULD HAVE GONE TO HELL ALTHOUGH THEY WERE MORALLY BETTER THAN THEIR KILLERS BY THEIR LEVEL OF SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS BUT NEVER OBTAINED THE RIGHTHEONESS OF GOD THROUGH CHRIST BEFORE THEY LOST THEIR LIVES. THIS IS GOD'S MORAL JUSTICE WHICH APPEARS UNFAIR AND THE WORLD WOULD CONSIDER FOOLISH.
YES, THIS APPEAR THEORETICAL! IF I AM INVOLVED IT WONT BE EASY I AGREE BUT IF I AM TO BE TRUE TO GOD AND SELF I MUST AND WILL ULTIMATELY FORGIVE BY HIS GRACE EVEN WHEN DYING I WILL NOT WISH MY KILLER EVIL SO THAT WE CAN BOTH MEET IN HEAVEN SUBSEQUENTLY. THIS IS THE HEART AND WILL OF GOD AS TOUGH AS IT IS. BELIEVE ME.
IF A ROBBER WANTS TO GET ME AND MY LOVED ONES I WILL NO DOUBT MAKE ATTEMPT AT SELF DEFENCE IF I CAN. IF I CANT, SO BE IT. IF I DIE IN THE PROCESS, SO BE IT. IF MY LOVED ON IS THE VICTIM I WILL FEEL THE PAIN BUT ULTIMATELY SUBMIT TO THE WILL OF GOD.
I AM ABLE TO SAY THIS BECAUSE I'VE THOUGHT ABOUT THEM IN THE PAST AND MADE UP MY MIND HOW I WOULD RESPOND IF IT EVER HAPPENS TO ME.
HOW WOULD I HANDLE BOKO HARAM. THE SAME WAY. GOD LOVES BOKO HARAM PEOPLE AS WICKED AS THEY ARE. HE WANTS THEM TO REPENT. JESUS DIED FOR THEM TOO.
THE BIBLE SAYS THAT THE WRATH OF MAN DOES NOT WORK THE RIGHTHEONESS OF GOD. MAN'S ANGER, AS JUSTIFIED AS IT MAY BE, WILL NOT PROMOTE GOD'S RIGHTHEONESS. GOD SAYS VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY.
JUNGLE JUDGES ARE AT RISK OF BEING CHARGED FOR MURDER IF CAUGHT IN NORMAL SOCIETIES. IT IS EXTRA JUDICIAL KILLING. THEY ARE ALSO GUILTY BEFORE GOD WHO SAYS THOU SHALL NOT KILL. WOULD THEY KILL IF THE ROBBERS WERE THEIR LOVED ONES?
GOD HELP US. HAPPY SUNDAY! I respect your spirituality but I hold on to Exodus 21 "12-Anyone who strikes a person with a fatal blow is to be put to death. 13 - However, if it is not done intentionally, but God lets it happen, they are to flee to a place I will designate. 14 - But if anyone schemes and kills someone deliberately, that person is to be taken from my altar and put to death" Just yesterday a mob arrested a kidnapper in ajah lagos and beat the living daylights out of him!...I support that......I am not waiting to after life to settle scores. I will settle them here with whoever tries to take my life. The bible makes provision for justice on earth and justice after life. Why does mob action take place? when the laws of the state are not working!....people tend to resort to self help. King David did not joke with his sword he used it very well even when someone came to gossip about saul's death. Men of God are guarded with gun wielding guards......the congregation are busy praying for the thief enemies. Without derailing the thread.

Bcause u cant know a failed outcome and still go for a cheap stuff (value is zero at such point) 2. coming with clean hand...Nobody is totally free of faults or sin. But i am bad if my evil is more thank yours or i am evil if i am caught. U know that without A LAW, there will be NO CRIME. 3. u can give moral support by telling him a simple SORRY We agree on exposing the criminal but I am a business owner and the under cutting of businesses is what kills any investment, I will not do it. I once took my car to the garage where I bought it. One of their staff was willing to fix it at less than half the price and he asked me to go to his own personal workshop outside. I was mad at him because he is cheating the coy that employed him and pays his salary, trained him, provides the infrastructure for him to thrive etc. As a business owner that is a no no for me. I still hold the belief that cheapest is not best. Many stolen cars will be offered to people at less than half the actual market price. My advice when you are shopping for cheap , shop legally e.g between the service providers ( compare Airtel with Etisalat and GLO) not from hackers and disloyal staff. How would you feel if u invested millions and your staff uses your facilities to steal your business? You can have clean hands if you consistently strive to do the right thing at all times but free to make mistakes. You dont know me but if you knew me , I am very principled and I get insulted a lot for not behaving like a typical nigerian. Your maxim of "everyone is in sin" is incorrect some of us still live above board. I cant tell him sorry at all because there is the rule of action and reaction, action and consequence. |

omojeesu: REAL HORROR
Robbery is a crime and sin. Jungle justice is unlawful, barbaric and murder; therefore, also criminal and sinful. Two wrongs don't make a right. Jungle justice is unjustified. It is evil. Robbery and jungle justice are reprehensible, anti social and unacceptable. The jungle judges deserve arrest and prosecution. LESSONS FROM JESUS / BIBLE / OTHERS FOR ROBBERS, JUNGLE JUDGES, READER AND WRITER: 1) Let the one without sin cast the first stone 2) Love your neighbour as yourself 3) Love your ENEMIES, do GOOD to those that hate you, PRAY for those that abuse and persecute you 4) Father, forgive them for they know not what they do. 5) Lord, don't lay this sin against them (Stephen) 6) Don't follow the multitude to do evil (Old Testament) 7) If God marks sin, who can stand? (Old Testament)
THERE IS NO SINGLE PERSON THAT IS RIGHTEOUS, NO NOT ONE! (Old Testament) 9) All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Paul), etc These are HARD ADMONITIONS / STATEMENTS to accept and practice. But are NOT IMPOSSIBLE. We CAN DO ALL THINGS through the strength supplied by Christ, the help of the Holy Spirit. LET'S ALL REPENT OF OUR SINS INCLUDING lying, corruption, cheating, stealing, 419, yahoo yahoo, adultery, fornication, prostitution, homosexuality, pornography, kidnapping, cursing, election rigging, etc, etc, etc FOR 1 ACCUSING FINGER, THERE ARE, AT LEAST, 3 POINTING BACKWARD AT THE ACCUSER!!! Sir / Ma, I do not agree with your position. This are the things that colonialism is trying to force into our brains. Dont get me wrong I am not attacking the bible of your beliefs but I believe the bible verses are being misapplied in this case. If your spouse, dad was maimed or killed by the gang or raped and tortured , you will see the matter differently. Our Legal and judicial system protects the guilty and deals with the innocent. If a man can be bold enough to steal, he should be bold enough to die. A man with a gun who comes to my house to rob t 1am is my enemy. I should stand there and pray for him abi? not defend myself.

Hmmm.... My heart goes out to the families of the victims.
This is the reason why people who can afford it should defend themselves and own a gun . Nigeria is a country where if one dies, he dies for nothing. Justice is very expensive and rare! I have witnessed a lot of these cases where a man is killed or molested and the aggressor is left to roam free. If you have money you can buy the police and some few judges. Last year I was following a case of a young man in Lagos who robbed and raped two girls in the same family. He left the mother because she was menstruating. Fortunately they identified him and he was arrested. The Lagos police command was treating the case as a robbery case and was about to charge to court when the AIG took it over and was negotiating settlement with the family. The family was crying for justice!
Wale Omole is still powerful and in the corridors of power...he should be made to explain his role in the loss of innocent vibrant lives.
Though the war on cultism is being won in our universities it has spilled over to the outside and growing like cancer. The culpable people should be brought to justice

Are these not the same people that we see in the PHCn offices and in the field collecting bribes for everything. If there is a fault they will collect bribe to fix it yet collect salaries!... and demand for wage increment......they are the same thieves that are involved in over billing and withholding issuance of meters are spares. They render morbidly inefficient services... The unions should even work on inefficiency among thteir members. They should please shut up....Ole gbogbo!
They fought Barth Nnaji because he was on the side of the generality of Nigerians.......Barth proved to Nigerians that the workers are just thieves. Unfortunately the successes made by the privatisation were reversed by the clueless one when he fired Barth. The neew minister may be intelligent and all but ineffective as we can all see.
Nigerian workers unions are hopelessly inefficient and useless they are of no value to this country and my suggestion is that they be proscribed.
Nigeria will only be able to generate and distribute sufficient power if they continue with privatization. What the new government should work on is the monitoring of the DISCOs. The current regulatory agency is moribond |

Any moronn can engage in name-dropping if it would make the deal fly faster. So, if someone uses Dangote's name to defraud people, dangote should be held responsible.

WILSON: 1. Promotion and practice of true democracy by creating an enabling environment where people from diverse backgrounds and with divergent views and opinions can be accommodated. Under the watch of Goodluck Jonathan administration, the APC was registered by INEC as a mega opposition party big enough to challenge the PDP at both state and national levels. This would have been unthinkable some years back. 2. Conduct of free and fair elections in the country, including the 2011 poll which was adjudged to be the most credible election of its magnitude that has ever been conducted in the country, though it was not without its flaws. Unlike in other administrations, the Goodluck Jonathan administration has given a free hand to the country’s electoral umpire, INEC, to perform its statutory duties. Advertisement 3. Relative non-interference with electoral and judicial matters. This is evident in the number of governorship elections that have been won both at the polls and in the court by opposition parties in Anambra, Imo, Osun states, among others. 4. Liberalization of the press and guaranteeing the freedom of speech in a country where the stifling of the press and suppression of the citizens’ right to freedom of speech used to be the norm, a legacy of over 30 years of military rule. The existence of vocal anti-government media houses and critics would have culminated in some high-profile assassinations some years back, but today citizens are free to air their views whenever and wherever they like just like any other sane country. 5. Opening up of Nigeria to the global business community and becoming Africa’s number one destination of foreign investors. In the first six months of 2014, a total of US$9.70 billion or N1.51 trillion flowed into the national economy as foreign direct investments (FDI). 6. Under the Goodluck Jonathan administration, Nigeria rebased it’s GDP for the first time in over a decade to become the largest economy in Africa, overtaking South Africa and Egypt in the process. 7. Proceeds from Nigeria’s non-oil exports rose to 2.97 billion by the end of 2013, up from 2.3 billion in 2010. 8. Initiation of the YOUWIN program in 2011. The Youth Enterprise with Innovation in Nigeria (YOUWIN) program aims to generate over 100,000 jobs for innovative unemployed youths across the country in the course of three years. It is currently in its third year. 9. Nigerians are now a step closer to being fully integrated into the international e-commerce community with the approval and reinclusion of Nigeria as one of the Paypal-compliant countries after being banned from using the service at the peak of the advanced fee fraud (419 scams). With Paypal, Nigerians can now pay for goods and services online from anywhere in the world. 10. Goodluck Jonathan administration is the one behind the revival of the dead automotive industry in Nigeria. Global auto giants like Peugeot, Nissan and Hyundai now either assemble or wholly manufacture small cars, Sport Utility Vehicles, trucks and buses at various locations in Nigeria. In addition to that, Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing Company (IVM), Nigeria’s flagship indigenous automaker, has begun the sale of their first made-in-Nigeria cars and SUVs in August 2014. 11. Under the Goodluck Jonathan administration, Nigeria became the first country in West Africa to host the World Economic Forum (WEF) in 2014. It was also the most successful World Economic Forum for Africa (WEFA) in history, boasting of a global reach of 2.1 billion people according to estimates. 12. Africa’s richest man Aliko Dangote’s net worth increased from US$2.1 billion at the start of Goodluck Ebele Jonathan’s administration to US$23 billion in 2014, making him Forbes’ richest black person in the world and the overall 26th richest in the world. He attributed this mammoth increase in his monetary worth to Goodluck Jonathan administration favourable economic policies. 13. Construction and beautification of many federal roads in the country, including the Lagos-Benin expressway, Abuja-Lokoja expressway, Enugu-Abakiliki expressway, Onitsha-Owerri highway and most parts of the Enugu-Port Harcourt expressway. Also, construction of the second Niger Bridge between Onitsha and Asaba to relieve the pressure on the old Niger Bridge which was completed in December 1965. 14. Revival of the comatose railway system of transportation in the country is happening under the current Goodluck Jonathan administration. 15. Remodelling, beautification and standardization of airports across the country. In addition to that, aircraft from Nigeria are now allowed to fly directly to the United States of America instead of going through many stopovers in Amsterdam and some other European cities along/in the route. The Akanu Ibiam Airport in Enugu was upgradede into an international airport, directly connecting the South-East region of the country to the outside world for the first time since independence. 16. Establishment of nine federal universities across the country in states which previously had no federal degree awarding institution. 17. Computerizing education in the country with the introduction of the computer-based test (CBT) which will be mandatory for all UTME candidates from 2015. 18.

I will not join in saying he did not do anything as this is factually incorrect. I would say he did 5 months work in 5 years. Most of the so called achievements are not concrete or verifiable. His supporters can mostly abuse or insult to justify the wasted years....... Is anyone interested in challenging me on this?

Did I hear someone say Acting President is not President? |
