Melaye and controversy sha. He knows Tinubu isn't happy with him for his role in the emergence of saraki and he's being careful knowing how dangerous Tinubu is. But one thing I know is he's going to be very useful in the senate, incase you need a radical person to push your agenda just call on Melaye. I hope all these power tussle doesn't affect the country negatively and to anybody who thinks Tinubu is too big to fall should understand that anybody can fall provided the right moves are taken. But in as much as I may not like the Melaye guy, I think he's better at the senate compared to Smart Adeyemi but Smart adeyemi will bring better dividends to his people.

OP, you could have just tapped him on the shoulder to wake him up or tell an usher. He isn't a celebrity that you can say is a public figure. This guy is supposed to be your brethren but you came here to broadcast him. What if he doesn't like being in the public eye? Did you ask his permission before putting his pic here? You know the story of Noah when his son saw him naked and lauhed at him? And you know the curse he placed on his son. This is embarrassing to the young man.
We have lost our sense of humanity in us all to make FP and trend online. Imagine you being in the same position, would you be happy to see this online? I hope you achieved what you wanted by doing this and by the way, you left what you came to do in the to take pictures while the sermon was going on. Your sins have multiplied.

It's really painful but I'm not surprised. My problem with PMB becoming president isn't his age or his qualification but because he didn't try to upgrade himself and keep abreast with the happenings in the country. He refused to be a statesman rather he openly supported what BH are fighting for and made treasonable comments. Now Tinubu and co repackaged him and gave him to us even though they knew that he may not have anything to offer. He became corrupt the first day he accepted a kobo or any form of help from a corrupt politician, actually it is a crime in the law. I hope things improve soon.
Since he knows that he hasn't moved with us to this 21th century the least he would have done was to appoint ministers ASAP to do the job for him while he supervises them but he still wants to retain everything for himself.

Dharniel:
I posted this some weeks before and it never made FP...

Sorry bro. Better luck next time.

Nigeria will never legalize same sex marriage because we are not completely a secular state. A larger part of the country practice Islam which has a stiff penalty to that. Any president that supports it will be seen as a sell out. Not that I have a problem with them, provided they don't try it on me or my family members. And if I should vote, I will vote against it. Common sense and nature will show us that it isn't normal and I'm not talking about spirituality.

US are hypocrites, they are against polygamy yet they forget that it is also supposed to be the person's right to marry how many wives they want. One day that law will be repealed too.

El Rufai is in the right side of the power tussle now and so can't be touched but one thing I know is that he is as corrupt as OBJ just like FFK. Any minister that served under obj and didn't have issues with him was corrupt simple. One day, he is going to be at the wrong side and we will see who he really is. He's being protected by heavyweights whom he helped to secure choice properties in the FCT.

Normally, we shouldn't be bothered where the next DSS DG comes from but knowing that our president is tribalistic based on his antecedents, it makes me fear for this country. But I believe that before the end of this year, if PMB has good intentions we will know. But for now, it's too early to conclude.

What did he say about them cars?

He talked about getting a grant of about 100million dollars from the FG through senate to help youths to manufacture batteries and solar panels that can help build these cars in this country.

wirinet:
I am sure you do not know what you are talking about, Solar cars are forking expensive. Solar anything is expensive, especially the initial cost. Even in advanced nations only the super rich can afford solar cars.

Having said that, from the photo of the car, i doubt this car is a solar car. Where are the solar panels? I suspect it is an electric car.

Why do we have to rely on foreign car companies to make and advertise electric cars for us? Why can our universities and polytechnics build it? It is a shame that the blackman always have to depend on the white man to solve his problem? I am ashamed when i go to tertiary institutions in Nigeria and i see the main mode of transportation is kekes (tricycle), Okadas and taxis. Converting a keke to electric is a fairly simple process that any reputable mechanical and electrical engineering faculty can easily build.

This is a project i would have love to embark on if i was younger and still in school, as battery and DC motor technology has greatly improved.

Try and understand me. You don't have to criticize everything. He promised to get a grant of 100million dollars from FG through the senate so as to help youths to be able to produce batteries. These cars aren't that expensive over there it's the shipping and and maintenance over here that's the problem.
It is obvious that electric and solar cars are better for day to day movement for private users. I said electric and solar are like each other doesn't there's no difference. And why didn't you say anything about my point on the environment? We know it is difficult to achieve but so is everything good.

Lol. Nigerians can ruin somebody's happiness.
Well if he's tired of being this way and wants to blow, he needs to change but if he's ok with it then he should stick to his songs and weed. That guy might not really hate him afterall he follows him on facebook but he's frustrated with what he dishes out. But trust our people to misunderstand and abuse the guy.

There's a saying that "nothing stops a man who knows where he's going" I don't know him but I know he knows where he's going.
He's phenomenal.

Mathematical photographer.
I saw ego, kudi and owo.

EbolaParasite:
Like seriously............Do you see the irony in your statement? ELECTRIC car and Nigeria can not be used in the same sentence. How/Where you wan charge?

Lol. My brother, we have the ultimate source of energy which is the sun. And there are lots of cars that are solar. No difference between them and this one. But PMB has promised to give us constant power. So don't worry, it will work out

I know this man intends to work atleast to make his own mark. He has always been associated with action and he knows that it is the only thing that will endear him to the hearts of Rivers people. But money constraints and too many people to settle might disturb him coupled with Amaechi's problems. But he has my support.

Politics has a way of ruining your beliefs especially in this country. This man that's actually a professional journalist and a senior one at that is now mocking parties, he has turned to an attack dog just like the days of GEJ. Hope he survives cos he made his first blunder when he likened PMB to a wine. Whether we like it or not, within a year or two, people will stop seeing every critic as TANOID or GEJite, what happens then? Co's every govt has critics and it can't be limited to GEJ.
That being said, if what PDP said has merit, then it should be looked into. Already we heard of confusions about choice of who to hand over.

These cars aren't really that expensive, I wish the car companies that make electric cars should advertise more in Nigeria. We need more cars like this, it saves cost and helps the environment. But Nigerians will always prefer Lexus 570 to prove you are a big boy. It is well. Hope he achieves what he told us about the cars.

This should be coming from our sitting president rather he's probing them. I hope he isn't fooled by these westerners and commits himself to something bad. There are serious war crimes against the US and UK and these crimes have triggered more terrorist attacks against them yet we don't here about those. He's a retired military general and by now he should have taken a stand. He's being watched by his fellow African President's, I hope he doesn't betray us. When OBJ discovered that the civilians were protecting the militants then, he bombed everybody and till now nobody is talking. And this same thing is happening yet the military has been careful but our president refused to understand. US is just using AI to defend why they refused to sell us arms when they are supposed to.

A part of me wants to believe he knows what he's doing and another part of me says he doesn't. But the facts are,
He isn't going to tolerate much indiscipline and corruption based on his antecedents.
Secondly he's going to be tribalistic based on his antecedents.
So it's actually confusing. And that's why a lot of people believe we have entered one chance.
Example is the case of his ADC giving an order to the DSS few days later his CSO gives a counter order. Now my question is, where does PMB stand in this story? Co's we know he appointed both of them by himself. His media aides don't give us updates until we here from media houses.
I pray this country works. And I beg him not to be fooled by any alliance with the westerners cos he doesn't seem to understand the conspiracies now. And he shouldn't dump Tinubu and his people cos they packaged him like the messiah even though we had our doubts about him. God bless Nigeria.

This man can be called any name but not not insane. He might be a bad politician but he has his brain intact which means for him not to attend his daughter's wedding something is wrong somewhere. Maybe he wasn't accorded due respect.

It isn't always about love, when you marry, you marry the whole family.

I don't think any sane child will say she or he is ashamed of this man if he's their father. He's not worse than OBJ that is acclaimed to have slept with his son's wife, what about El Rufai that talks anyhow. What about those of us here that have parents that are fetish and father's that are drunks, does it mean you will deny them?

At times people come online and type without thinking.
This man is a fulfilled man and never been known to avoid his responsibilities unlike Dino Melaye

That preacher has actually picked me out once when I was walking with a girl along delta road and I heard he has built a house in his hometown just from doing this preaching. And surprisingly I saw someone park his car to give this guy some money when I was in school. And for the purewater guy, his face is familiar but I don't know him well cos he didn't really hawk at Ofrima and that's where I had my classes.

I try to be objective in everything and not judge people for their choices but I can't come to terms with this man's action. I'm indifferrent about Gays provided they don't try Shit on me or my family members but changing into a woman after three children at 65years looks silly and stupid to me. Before any he-goat will start calling me hater here, let me just leave this topic.

But this traffic didn't just happen recently na. It is actually on record and simple search from Google will show it. We should try and authenticate the kind of news we spread. And funny enough, this topic may hit FP.

Man's inhumanity to man. That's why people are agitating to end death sentences all over the world. But some underground people still use them. And I believe CIA can use some of these methods. They are capable of anything just that they are ignored cos it's an American organization.

Some Nigerians and superstition eh. America and so other civilized country have had things like this for years now e.g. Social security number and yet the world is still here. Obama signed the controversial health bill that will make people put chips in their forehead or hand yet the world is still here.

Just cos CBN has brought a measure to reduce fraud in banking thereby protecting our money better we are shouting. What if Nigeria starts using social security number cos it was proposed some time back? Which means some people will give all their money to these scammers that call themselves pastors

Two things are involved. It's either her or not her but it doesn't matter cos Nigerians will say it's her until she comes out to prove it's not her. And that isn't Saraki, don't think her guts is big enough to touch the senate president.

Facts; Amaechi's corruption supersedes any governor's past or present. Wike's loot might supersede Amaechi's. All in all they are the same kind and character though Amaechi is more rash and wicked. I also think Wike should forget about these probes cos hos opponents will play it down while only his supporters will go with it in as much as he is right by doing it anyway cos of the reason he gave. Amaechi didn't care if we had a Rivers State after he left since it wasn't his stooge that won and left everything like that.

But Wike needs to concentrate and do the work he was elected to do and I believe that with the proper funding, he's going to do well.

What do our youths know if not to abuse each other on social media? Outside social media, they are too busy doing other things and lobbying and respecting these people not knowing that they should be the ones pleasing the masses cos we can gang up against them.

Let's continue calling each other names on nairaland. When someone criticizes PMB they call them GEJites while the GEJ is cooling off abroad and having his much deserved rest. Let's see how long these bashings will continue.

I hope we become wiser and channel our grievances to the people.

Long overdue. He would have been a good governor cos he started well. But obviously if omehia was against Wike in the last election he wouldn't have restored his privileges.

I will score him 0% for getting him wrong and score him 100% for creativity and truthfulness.

5,2,1,4,6,3 in that order. And I wouldn't just kill them no no no. I will make them die slowly and finally go to my village to warn all the old witches there.
