Why can't they just arrest all those illegal miners (especially foreigners)and recover whatever they've stolen..those guys have stolen billion dollars worth of solid minerals in Nigeria

Any state that cannot survive without federal allocation should be merged to other neighboring state in other to reduce unnecessary recurrent expenditures

Macelliot:
Where is Kano state? With the high FG allocation it receives monthly.

The OP is talking about Internally Generated Revenue(IGR) not federal allocations.

I added all the other top 9 states IGR together and Lagos still beat them by over N40Billion...maka why?

All states should endeavour to generate enough revenue internally and be self sufficient.

How old was David when he became a king? Samuel wasn't a king/ruler?

http://m.mentalfloss.com/article/12252/11-monarchs-crowned-while-they-were-diapers

Babies sure are cute. But do they make good world leaders? Here’s a peek at some of history’s youngest rulers and their reigns.

1. King Oyo (Toro Kingdom, Uganda)

In 1995, Oyo became the youngest monarch in the world. He was three years old. When the coronation ceremony began, the toddler slid off the throne, ran away, and hid in his mother’s lap. Nowadays, he sits more comfortably. He rules the Toro Kingdom, a southwestern patch of Uganda that 2 million people call home. The 20-year-old oversees a cabinet and is advised by Uganda’s President, Yoweri Museveni.

2. Emperor Puyi (China)



China’s last emperor was one of its youngest: In 1908, Puyi became emperor at two years old. When the crowning ceremony began, Puyi (standing next to his father) had to be carried to the throne by his father. The king-to-be was scared, and he kicked, clawed, and cried the entire time. When Puyi was six years old, a revolution erupted and the Chinese dynasty crumbled.

3. Pomare III (Tahiti)

Some babies shake rattles. Others shake up politics. Pomare III did both: he became King of Tahiti at 17 months. His mother acted as his regent, but the little king didn’t last. He died at the age of five from an unknown disease and was succeeded by his 14-year-old sister.

4. Henry VI (England)

Henry VI was the bouncing baby king of not one, but two countries. In 1422, an eight-month-old Henry became England’s youngest King. Two months later, he became France’s King. He didn’t keep the latter title for long. By 1429, Joan of Arc had helped the French take the country back. England eventually lost the Hundred Years’ War, and Henry literally went insane. When he recovered, the War of the Roses erupted, and Henry landed on the losing side again. When he was 43, Henry was locked away in the Tower of London, where he eventually died.

5. Sobhuza II (Swaziland)

Sobhuza II became King of Swaziland before he could take his first step: the tyke was crowned when he was four months old. He’d keep the job for 82 years. Sobhuza II saw Swaziland gain its independence from Britain in 1968. That same year, he helped write a constitution, which he ditched in 1973. He became an absolute ruler and left behind almost 70 wives when he died.

6. Emperor Shang of Han (China)

There you are. Standing in line at the supermarket, stuck behind that mother who incessantly babbles about her child. It’s the world’s most perfect baby, she says. It will become the next Einstein, she says. It’s a pooping prodigy, she says. Well, if you’re ever cornered at register number four, just shush her by saying, “Did you know Shang of Han became Emperor of China when he was barely 100 days old? He ruled an entire country before he had any teeth!” Sure, Shang ruled for only one year before his 12-year-old cousin took over, but his resume is still more impressive than that of any supermarket super-child.

7. Tsar Ivan VI (Russia)

When he was two months old, Ivan VI was crowned Tsar of Russia. And it was all downhill from there. Ivan and his regents held power for just one year before Elizaveta Petrovna deposed them in 1741. Ivan spent 20 years in solitary confinement, moving from fortress to fortress. When Ivan was 23, he was murdered by his jail guards.

8. Mary Queen of Scots

Mary’s reign was sandwiched between two baby Kings. Her father, James, was 17 months old when he was crowned King. Her son, also James, was 13 months old when he became the Scottish ruler. Mary, however, beat them both: She became Queen of Scotland when she was six days old. Unfortunately, she was forced to hand over the Scottish crown to her son when she was only 25.

9. John I of France

John I became King of France the day he was born (his father had died four months earlier, in July 1316). Unfortunately, John’s reign was one of the shortest in history: he died five days later. His Uncle Philip, who served as regent, took over the throne. Some suspect that Philip poisoned the infant king.

10. Alfonso XIII of Spain

Alfonso XIII was born May 17, 1886. That same day, he became Spain’s King. Despite having his entire childhood to practice, Alfonso never became a good ruler. During his reign, Spain lost its last colonies, it became overrun by a military dictator, and the monarchy dissolved. Alfonso abdicated his rights to the crown in 1941 after Francisco Franco assumed control.

11. Shah Shapur II (Sassanid Empire)

Legend has it that in year 309, Persian nobles placed a crown upon the belly of King Hormizd II’s widow. Inside was history’s first fetal king: Shah Shapur II. The in utero ruler was the ninth leader of the Sassanid Empire, a powerful Persian kingdom covering modern Iran. Shapur II ruled for 70 years. In the late 4th century, he successfully ousted Christianity from the Middle East.

Publicity stunt by Mrs Gates?

Some of us REALLY need to hide our ignorance or buy a Dictionary.
She's simply creating an awareness for their on going projecting.
Awareness = walking the talk
Publicity stunt = all talk, no action.

God bless you

"Such governors insisted that the forum should wait for the decision of the justice ministry on the police report on the forgery of the 2015 Senate Standing Orders. They prefer the prosecution of everyone involved in the forgery.”
It was learnt that the governors, who were not happy with Saraki, argued that treating Saraki’s case with levity would set a bad precedence in the party.

Very good

Even if she's not my wife's sister, I'll not do anything lailai...God forbid...but she won't dare to dress like that in my house anyway...

Who is Munachi among the four ladies in the pictures? I think she's the first one.

But she forgot to warn the Federal government to save for rainy days...What an irony..

The APC that is simply a collection of the WORST elements from PDP who just changed label

The questions you need to ask yourself are:

1) Who is the leader of APC? What's special about him?
2) Why did all these people you listed dumped PDP for APC? Remember, most of these people dumped PDP, the majority and ruling party at the time for APC, main opposition party. What did they see in APC that was missing in PDP?

If you can answer these questions genuinely and sincerely, you'll never post that junks again.

She has been replaced with these political comedians. Learn to deal with them

I can only see Mazi Osinbajo and Mazi Buhari...two okoros they're not funny at all...they're too serious

"The only thing that will give us and the greater majority of Nigerians succour is that these persons are brought to book. Not the cosmetic arrangement of just taking people to court, they get lawyers to bail them and they start branding in our eyes the looted wealth. If such arrangement happens under the Buhari government  there will be catastrophe. We must see a logical trial. We don’t want to see monkey trials by the EFCC and ICPC. They themselves will have themselves to blame. The Nigerian populace will this time haunt them and the Buhari government will be cut short if we do not come to logical conclusion with the trials. Anybody, who has held public office and has stolen money must be made to return the money".

Anjorson4sure:
If you have value for your relationship you will not border. ver non issue conversation. You should look for what the future hold for both of you not the past

This is where a lot of people are getting it all wrong. There's nothing wrong about asking about the past. It's just a way of knowing the other person better. We all have our dirty pasts. You can't just sweep your past under the carpet good or bad. If you do, it'll definitely come back to hunt you. For peace to reign in the future, you must sort out your past.

If you both ignore your pasts, by the time he/she start receiving funny phone calls from his/her ex, funny text messages from his/her ex then, you'll both sit down and talk about the past.

Good news...

GTB is not a bank....

barcanista:
Due process was followed. The Constitution says for a qorum to be formed at least 1/3 of Senators elected must be present. This was met.

The Constitution said a Senator is elected SP by winning majority votes cast...This was met.

The Constitution said the President must declare the 8th Assembly open in writing to the Senate Clerk... This was met.

The constitution was not breached. The so-called standing rule only talk of "open ballot"/"secret ballot"...that is irrelevant. I assure you that the Court will dismiss it for lack of jurisdiction and "no case". Otherwise, why didn't the aggrieved Senators go to court themselves? In a normal setting that is the issue of the Senators internal brohuaha... I cite mention of Akpabio's emergence as minority leader that is against the advisory book knwn as Standing rule.

Don't jump into conclusion yet, wait for the court outcomes.

barcanista:
I think we are geTting things mixed up here. Saraki wasn't a presiding officer in the last Senate. Therefore, the case of manipulation of Standing order has no business with him EVEN if police establish a case. The people to answer questions are David Mark, Ike Ekweremadu, the former Chairman of Senate Committee on Rules and Business, and also the Senate Clerk. Also, the so-called Senate standing rule is not enough to sack Saraki as Senate President. The Constitution is very clear when it said at least 2/3rd of Senators are needed to sack a Senate President. APC don't have this numbers... Saraki's position as SP can only be threatened if/when PDP decides to punish him-which I don't see happening any time soon.

Back to the Senate standing rules, the rule is ONLY advisory at best as it has no binding on any Senator whatsoever. For instance, a section of the rule says ranking members be appointed principal and presiding officers, but Senator Godswill Akpabio, a newcomer emerged the Senate minority leader.

Wait, let the court declare that the Senate failed to follow due process in the election of the Senate President and his deputy and see whether Saraki won't vacate the seat without been told.

What you fail to understand is that, some group of people(for selfish reasons) came together to unlawfully amend the constitution guiding the Senate.

In a sane country, those involved will be cooling off in jail by now but hey, this is Nigeria. With this trend, one day, some Nigerians will wake up and they'll be told by some Senators that, they're no more part of Nigeria as they've been sold to Togo or Cameroon. All they need to do is to amend the Nigerian constitution in order to carry out their action.

The first quarter figures (2015) released by the National Bureau of Statistics showed that crude oil and gas accounted for 89.2 per cent of our total export of N3.23 trillion with other exports constituting only 10.8 per cent. The nation imported goods and services worth N1.64 trillion within the same period. We should reverse this dependency on imports and harness our natural resources to become self-reliant in food production.

Way to go

"He should wait for him because, he (Buhari) is coming to him. Fayose will get his own bit of it. I think from all indications of what he has been seeing, he has started developing butterfly in his stomach but he shouldn’t wait for too long, he will start feeling the heat and that is! exactly why he is talking when everybody is supposed to keep quiet.”

Love this part
