Tolexander:
If the government was genuinely and effectively spending the N400 million on Sokoto State University annually, the University would be competing with the UAE universities in World universities ranking and many students from Sokoto State would benefit from it instead of the selected few (likely selected out of nepotism and cronyism).

This is just a tip of the iceberg.
They still maintain funding of students in Sudan, Uganda and perhaps other countries.
Millions of naira is paid annually on this wild goose chase.
I am yet to see an indigent student among all those that I know. Most are well connected. This is a good move by the present government , maybe the money will now be ploughed into improving education in nigeria , which is where u really find the indigent students

NameChecker:
Every states have been producing Rice lately,
I am yet to see these locally made rice in the market except online.

Una dey export am?

It is available. I bought labana rice and I'm enjoying it.

oduastates:


Most of the money did nor make it into the budget

Yes, I agree. It made it into individual pockets

DesChyko:


I don't get your direction. I am referring to the reluctance of the government to fulfill a key campaign promise. What are you referring to?

Sarcasm bro

Pidggin:
And how much was GEJ using to subsidize the fuel you ingrates were buying for N87 or the Kerosene you were buying for N100? Now you are paying N145 with possible increase any time from now. With endless tax even right down to your bank transactions all going into this govt pocket with no accountability

Budget during GEJs tenure was an average of about 4 trillion, including provision for subsidy. It follows that about 20 trillion naira was budgeted and spent during that period. How can we account for the difference between earnings and spendings.

We shouldn't forget to add the monies borrowed to finance budgets as well.
As much as it may be difficult to accept, perhaps sanusi was right about the missing money

DesChyko:
Fresh excuse why they shouldn't hit their brothers hard eh?

Okay oo. Don't strike them. Come flex your muscles on Niger Delta that have no kids nor parents that could identify them.

You can see how much their non-brother hit them while he was in office. Let the present govt continue with its brotherliness, it seems to be working.

mukhcech:



Both your brain and the brain of the person you quoted is fried. no it didn't stop there. You two then exchanged the burnt matter and eat.

I am really interested in this debate. Could you argue this out without being insulting

Rockquest:
Ize-Iyamu remains our governorship candidate whether Sheriff likes it or not. The game has just started. Meanwhile we should all work for the realisation of Ize Iyamu governorship and should not lose focus by this ruling. Another court will upturn this ruling soon. Nigeria under APC has brought more than enough calamity to our economy. We all say a big NO to injustice, poverty and Boko Haram government. Edo shall be great under Pastor Ize Iyamu !!!!! No shaking

We should depart from voting for parties instead of individuals. Honestly speaking, how did chief Lucky Igbinedion perform as a PDP governor?

This can and has been done in Nigeria successfully.

Do you support the male circumcision?

No. I don't

lexiconkabir:


What do you understand from my post?

Tell us these complications......

NOTE: I AM NOT IN SUPPORT OF THE OTHER TYPES OF FGM HIGHLIGHTED BY THE OP, I SUPPORT ONLY THE FIRST, AND I GAVE MY REASONS

Any surgical procedure may have complications.
I will give a short list
1) excessive hemorrhage
- transmission of infections
- scar formation
- keloid formation
- stricture
- death

I listed this from a professional point of view. Of you still are not convinced, then so be it. Cheers

lexiconkabir:


I am in support of this particular FGM, because;

1.) It prevents unpleasant odours which result from foul secretions beneath the prepuce.

2.) It reduces the incidence of urinary tract infections

3.) It reduces the incidence of infections of the reproductive system.

see what WHO has to say about it in the book on Traditions that affect the health of women and children, published in 1979;

"With regard to the type of female circumcision which involves removal of the prepuce of the clitoris, which is similar to male circumcision, no harmful health effects have been noted."

1). The prepuce is different from the clitoris.
2.) That was in 1979.......and it doesn't say it has good effects, it only says " there are no harmful effects".
Things have since changed. You know that there can be complications, isn't it?. So why subject a human to a procedure that has no significant benefits with the possibility of complications?

Isoni:
Good philanthropic job,

Meanwhile there is a Councillor, Chairman and Governor in the State.

Sorry they don't really care about us.

The question is, "do we care about ourselves?". When the LG chairman or councillor distributes bags of rice, we collect it with glee and even abuse those who don't collect. If these same men are arrested for offences, we stage walk outs, claiming they are persecuting our brothers. God help us.

And nobody bordered to check the date of publication. This is old news, August, 2015. Almost a year old.

linusbnn:



Don't divert our main focus,we did not talk about whether he has performed or not,he is in lagos and nothing has happened. He is a LION

The day Tinubu takes up that kind of challenge is the day he will lose the respect of sane Nigerians......this is not the issue of West side/east side. I don't want to believe that Dino came to Lagos to fight, I really hope he had other important things that would better the lives of his constituents to do. Otherwise, this is a big Shame

Tequilah:


Did you even bother to engage your mind and think a little bit, before even responding to my post? Your reply makes little or no sense, sorry!

Why are you bothered? People have their minds made up already. I still don't understand why people support politicians blindly, even when they have nothing to gain.
Do people really expect Tinubu to come out and attack Dino? Even if he decides to sleep right in front of Tinubu's house?

As for Tinubu, he did a lot of wrong things. However overall he hasn't been half as bad as so many others and that's why typically, our people support him. For those who are not aware, he was an active member of NADECO, most importantly, he was very instrumental in changing Lagos. Somehow, he has managed to "install" good successors.

If other leaders in Nigeria did what he did in this regard, Nigeria would be better.

What happens if people continue making panic withdrawals? Is there adequate buffer?

We really have to know what we want and go after it. When we were not considered for it, we complained. Now we are to be considered, we are complaining.

A South southerner was there for at least four years, he did nothing about it. Let us support those who support us. I will definitely not complain about this.

This Tribalism being introduced in the army is a game plan though it's not new, but has never taken this precedential swoop

When the two weeks ceasefire for negotiations, the military takes on the Niger Delta Avengers maiming, raping, killing and molesting young, old innocent citizens of both gender in the name of looking for the Avengers!

Retiring the voices of the south in top military positions, paving way for smooth execution of Northern Agenda in a massive scale

We've witnessed Fulani herdsmen wiping out communities then enjoy presidential and military cover, the beheading in Kano the massacre of unarmed protesters including the rape on Niger Delta oil

Genocide is silently occurring.
Hutu and Tutsi of Rwanda comes to mind

South can not be taken un aware, before and after 2015 general elections SESS has never been this alert and prepared

Splinter groups every where. Just a single mishap another civil war!

Resource control now Federalism calling

Come on. I can't believe you still wrote this after identifying only 2 presumed Igbo military men.

Did you see the southwestern names there? And of course the northern names.

In fact, I think the northern guys were worst hit.

Just count them, without prejudice.

Hope govt will also be prosecuted for asking patients in dire need of care to make payments before they are treated. Hope people that need intensive care will get admitted whether or not they have money. Intensive care is not a luxury but a necessity (it costs a 250k deposit in some federal hospitals).
Hope patients will get blood when they need it, with or without payment (blood is life as u all know).
In short, many things need to be put right, so many things. Making this pronouncement is just playing to the gallery.

Even the boobs are padded. Check well

MosakuAW:

Good moves by AMB. If that is where the old man laid his head every night, then something should be done about his accomodation too.

Food and soaps will not solve his problem alone.

Why give 5 matresses to 1person, that means there wasn't any special plan for the old man. All they did was to give part of the goods meant for IDP to the old man.

Btw, why do we always paste names or paste stickers or customised bags of items we give to people in need.

If your must give to people in need, do it with you right-hand without your left-hand knowing.

Food and soap alone will never completely solve his problem. But we have to say kudos to her for this gesture. Nonetheless, food means a lot in a war ravaged region.
Again, remember he had made several pleas without response before now.
The mattresses are not too many, considering that he has 2 wives and 5 children.

Customization is something I loathe. But, she actually put her pix on only one of the goods. Maybe that is just for authentication. Maybe.

So the western countries want to give us money free of charge. We should be grateful to them.

Really?? Gas flaring is worse than oil spill. Scientists would be dying to hear your reasons

Really?? So you would rather have oil spills than gas flaring.

The economy would have been better if the dullard had hit the ground running. That is
1. If he had appointed ministers three weeks[color=#990000] after he was sworn in.
2. If he had discarded Jonathans budget and came up with his own budget
3. If he wasn't travelling like a lose bird.[/color]


I hate when Nigerians call another country a "failed country". You have no right to call another country failed because is Nigeria is also one - a failed country.[/quote]

Do you mean that if he had appointed ministers early, Nigeria's earnings would have improved? And the price of oil, which is our main source of fx would hve miraculously increased.

Discard GEJs budget??
How do you discard a budget that has been signed into LAW. That would be an impeacheable offence.

And to say 75 people liked this post.

Which ones are decaying? Mention them.

You guys just talk sentimental trash for no reason.

The government said they will provide the needed land and market. It means, this is at zero direct cost to government. As usual, some people did not read the article before making comments.

Pyrrho:
It's amazing, but totally understandable, that Millions of people can be threatened by an alien god from alien tradition that is in no way related to their history.

How did I ever believe that the God in the book called the bible, who killed at will, is my own God.

We were once too weak.

Ahan! Imagine the number of people claimed to have a killed in the name of Yahweh!

Quite astonishing!

I think I know you. Do you by any chance have anything to do with the teeth and face?

Sharplogger:


u called me a liar from d pits of hell which was really uncalled 4...hence my reaction...I didn't say d past or present administration was devoid of corruption...I am just taken aback dat d FG is aware dat it's month end and most of us have bills & fees to pay & d op is here saying Remita has started paying....dats an obvious lie Wat happened to IPPS

Not every Fg worker is on IPPIS. Examples include ASUU and Doctors.

seunmsg:



So much for being ignorant. Get yourself educated and stop displaying your ignorance on a public forum.

People who do not know and still refuse to learn always amaze me. How on earth could a Nigerian FG worker not have heard about REMITA?
If you haven't ( its not a crime) then u should do a quick search on google.

You are trying ooooo, arguing with these people bring little profit.
That is why I rarely comment on this forum.

People have forgotten so soon when late payment of salaries bedevilled the last administration and madam NOI told us she was developing hypertension trying to borrow money to pay the next salary. Short memories...
