This is hilarious so cos the ex will help her find a job he should tolerate all her excesses. Fools too many 4 NL I swear.

Bodexman:
But the truth is that, we talk more but act less.

We have many motivational speakers in Nigeria, but give them this same position, you'll start hearing stories.

Ordinary elections that over professor VCs are overseeing do end up being manipulated. You'll start hearing stories of electoral fraud & offences.

Only the determined and a person of strong will can govern this nation well.

Gerrard59:
As a citizen and resident of the country with the highest number of poor people, you should not be writing this. Capitalism is the only economic system that has pulled more people out of poverty than any other economic system.

Aphrygian:
this was how your forefathers curbed insecurity and thier societies had almost zero crime incidences, so rather than learn from them you here talking nonsense. Do you see the way child trafficking reduced in Edo after the king cursed them?

A girl that I was dating, took her to my parents and even met her people chatted with her ex who ditched her and married another girl. The other girl died and this ex wants her back.

She said if she see's someone else she would move ahead but if not she may consider him back. All these happened like 4 months before I met her.

Now I have introduced her to all my family and even met some of her family.

Sent her mum money for Christmas, she still has the guts to reply the guys compliment of the season even after I warned her months back and asked her to block the guy which she did.

What pains me was the new phone I bought for her was what she used.

Now she's begging my mum to beg me.
Am done

Well, I'll ignore what your intentions are, assume you don't know what is done in any hospital settings and educate you.

Before January 8 2021 we'll have a new governor,pastor osagie ize iyamu in government house in Edo state.

The delay tactics obaseki tried to use in court have failed, today he's heading to supreme court trying to stop the hearing of his vertical forgery. Now his stupidity and delayed tactics have angered the judges in appeal, high and supreme court.

The person he was banking on to serve as a witness (former Edo apc chairman) just decamped 4 days ago and a new caretaker was sworn in by buhari.

The case will be decided before January 8.

Once again congratulations to Edo apc supporters.

And to those house of assembly members, and commissioners that re-sign before election. You're are great for having patience.

And congratulations to Tony kabaka, oshiomole and co for not issuing any words and doing things underground.

Next year will be nice.

The problem with Lagos is that most people living in Lagos , their relatives know little or nothing about them

Difrent:
If people are so afraid d,why then did they ask government set up the judicial panel of inquiry...... Sometimes we behave as if we don't really know what we are doing or what we want.

Anyone that has genuine grievance SHOULD NOT BE AFRAID TO TAKE THE MATTER TO JUSTICE OKUWOBI PANEL.....
but in nigeria we will leave it to God and come online to be ranting and cursing when we have have the opportunity to do right.....

My hair stylist. She practically damaged my edges,was almost balded and when I complained ,she said ' you sef too carry the hair na' .
So I should pay upto 15k for crochet braids and not carry it upto 2 months . That was and will be the last time.

'Dm for Price' :I'm never "dming" ,if you can't write the price so I can have an idea before coming to bargain and buy , please carry your wahala and go .

My favorite Isiewu joint . I lost all my love and appetite for Isiewu and Nkwobi the day I saw the Woman using her bare hands to remove insects/lice from her Bingo , she didn't wash her hands when she was through,just wiped it on her clothes and turned to ask me how many I wanted. .
Told her to wait let me ask my "Oga" and ran away .

Amala woman used hand to remove meat from my plate because I told her i don't eat beef ,I had to force the rest of the food down my throat...That was the last!!!

Some many instances!.Especially food vendors should keep their environments and self as neat as possible.

Any rude customer service,:It's either I follow up the madness or I just walk away depending on my mood and that will be the last.

Nigeria’s $1.5 billion steel plant set to produce 1 million MT of steel annually

Nigeria nears steel independence as $1.5 billion steel plant in Kaduna is set to produce 1 million MT of steel annually.



The Federal government of Nigeria has disclosed that it is expecting an annual output of one million metric tonnes of steel from its $1.5 billion steel plant in Kaduna.

This was disclosed by the Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Mrs Zainab Shamsuna Ahmed while inspecting the steel plant facility at the African Natural Resouces and Mines Limited in Kaduna.

According to The Punch, Mrs Zainab Ahmed during the inspection of the facility said that the $1.5 billion steel plant which is now nearing completion, would produce one million metric tonnes of steel annually. She emphasized that the facility is critical to the nation as it is tactical to the looming steel revolution in Nigeria.

The $1.5 billion steel plant built by African Resources and Mines Limited, a subsidiary of African Industries Group (AIG) is at an advanced stage of completion.

The plant which is billed to commence the first phase of production in the mining of Iron ore, and production of Direct Reduced Iron in a matter of months is expected to produce one million metric tonnes of steel annually.


Why this matters

This development is expected to resuscitate Nigeria’s steel industry which has been lifeless for a while, and help put an end to the importation of steel in Nigeria. This will also reduce the pressure on the Nation’s foreign reserve, and bolster the foreign reserve of the country.

It is expected to boost domestic steel production and attract foreign investors’ participation in the industry, especially auto producers around the world.

However, the facility will create employment opportunities for Nigerians both directly and directly and indirectly.


What they are saying

Alok Gupta, the Group Managing Director of AIG, said the firm would be mining iron ore to produce direct reduced iron, which would enable the company to produce higher-grade steel more efficiently.

He explained that the investment by the company in the Nation’s steel industry will dramatically increase domestic production, and this will have multiple effects on the Nigerian economy.


The Minister of Finance emphasized that the recent investment in the steel industry by AIG which is about to yield gains both for the company and the economy will attract the auto industries of the world to come into Nigeria and produce cars in Nigeria for Nigerians, and other countries in West Africa.


Bottomline

The investment of AIG in the steel industry is expected to drive the country towards steel independence, and pave the way for Nigeria’s steel revolution and the development of the automobile industry in the nation.

Does getting the identity number as a foreigner whom reside in Nigeria, does that make me a Nigerian national?..Since I can get a passport, drivers license, BVN and all with the number.

Government is we the people! We do not go to get our leaders from Mars, we choose them from amongst ourselves.

It's a simple concept, but our education system unfortunately teaches us to look to the heavens instead of seeking from within ourselves. It will change though, especially when we realise it is we who suffer from our own inability to be responsible.

budaatum:
Thank you for repeating precisely what I said. Perhaps your version would be better understood than mine.



This though, I disagree with, because gradually more and more people are being made to realise that we are the government, that we are responsible for whatever state our nation is in and that it is us who will make our nation be whatever we desire it to be.

It will take time and progress will be slow, and even might not happen in our lifetime. But someday will be someday when we Nigerians will fulfil our potential and destiny of greatness.

Prominent leaders from various ethnic groups from the South -West , South -East, South- South and the Middle Belt have described the 1999 Constitution as a fraud put together to perpetually subjugate other nationalities under the control of the Fulani.
The aggrieved leaders gave the Federal Government a 90 -day ultimatum to constitute a committee on Sovereign National Conference to decide on the repeal of the 1999 Constitution or to dissolve Nigeria’ s amalgamation of 1914.
According to a statement on Friday, the Middle Belt and southern leaders made the resolution at a meeting in Lagos .
The leaders, who spoke on the platform of the Nigerian Indigenous Nationalities Alliance for Self -Determination, said the 1999 Constitution was responsible for the worsening insecurity and poverty in the land.
Some of the leaders who signed the communiqué are former Plateau State Governor , Jonah Jang; Prof. Yusufu Turaki ; a prominent historian, Prof. Banji Akintoye ; President-General , Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Nnia Nwodo ; Commodore Ebitu Ukiwe; Senator Aniete Okon; and Fred Agbeyegbe .
Others include Air Commodore Indongesit Nkanga ( retd. ); Ambassador Godknows Igali; Fred Agbeyegbe , Rear Admiral Geoffrey Yange and Dr Kunle Oshodi .
The leaders said all elections must be suspended so that winners would not be sworn in with the same 1999 Constitution which they described as faulty.
The communiqué read partly , “ Being confronted by the clear and present danger of extermination in the hands of our supposed compatriots in the union of Nigeria, ( we ) hereby declare a sovereignty dispute with the federation of Nigeria as represented by the Federal Government of Nigeria, on account of our repudiation and rejection of the imposed 1999 Constitution of Nigeria, whose authorship was fraudulently imputed to us.
“ Furthermore , effective from today, 18 th December , 2020, (we ) give a 90- day notice to the Government of the Federation of Nigeria, the Security Council of the United Nations, the Government of the United States of America, the European Union as well as the international community, of the intention of the peoples of the alliance territories to reconsider our continued allegiance to the disputed 1999 Constitution as well as the unitary union of death, attrition and backwardness it foists on us.
“ It is our demand that in the 90- day period of this notice , the following specific actions must be taken by the Federal Government of Nigeria to firmly set in motion an irreversible process by which the aforementioned grave constitutional grievances would be addressed :

A formal announcement by the Federal Government of Nigeria acknowledging the constitutional grievances and sovereignty dispute now declared by the peoples of the South and Middle - Belt of Nigeria.
“ A formal commitment by the Federal Government of Nigeria to the wholesale decommissioning and jettisoning of the 1999 Constitution .
“ A formal announcement by the Federal Government of Nigeria suspending further general elections under the disputed 1999 Constitution .
“ A formal initiation of a time- bound transitioning process to engender the emergence of fresh constitutional protocols by a two - stage process in which the constituent regional blocs will, at the first stage , distill and ratify their various constitutions by referendums and plebiscite and in the second stage , negotiate the terms of federating afresh as may be dictated by the outcomes of a referendum and plebiscite. ”

No we were not! Like in 84 when Buhari took over from the incompetent Shagari who squandered the revenue from oil and is known as one of the more corrupt eras in our history, so did we elect Buhari to clean up the kleptocracy of the Jonathan era.

The pity is that Buhari seems to get power when Nigeria's revenue from oil goes down. Then ignorant people claim he is underperforming as if not listening to Joseph and saving in times of plenty has no consequence when the time if plenty ends and famine begins. Have you all so quickly forgotten the billions of dollars and pounds and euros in ghanamustgoes and tucked away in soakaways? The whole of Europe and USA and Dubai is missing your billions of petrodollars now, or don't you know?

We have not learned, it seems. One day in the future, someone will drag up this post written today, 19 December 2021, and be reminded that I am saying this is not as bad as you think it will get. You are living in heaven today compared to the hell you'll be living in the future, then will you know that fire is truly burning you

Time, as they say, will tell.

Safely return of all kidnapped school boys in kastina state has spoiled business for speculators who early thought it will go in the way of Chibok girls. Many have quickly invested millions on T-shirts, face caps among others. These set of people are deeply pained with prompt rescue hence they could call it a welcome development.
