1. It was not a live media chat that could have afforded Nigerians the opportunity to ask their president questions even through text messages.
2. The selected media people are his boys, or some were too scared to ask the hard questions.
3. His response to questions lacked empathy.

u just need to have a man that have big dream as u do, it is easier when u have a guy who is supportive and understands u.
Tell him children should come later as u want to focus on ur career for now

The idea that after marriage you delay child birth is risky as the kids may never come when you now want them. Marriage cannot stop success. The early stages of marriage may slow down somethings but with the right focus and determination, you will get there.

Was the groom’s action justified, or was it too extreme?

It was very very justified

Am not in support of his retirement and because am an insider in the ministry, I cannot not tell you the full details for the action , both Oyedepo and Abioye know me by my name and I love them, but God who call Abraham at 75 years and call Moses at 80 years and both men still became very successful, I pray same God will make Abioye very successful and if he open his ministry branch in Lagos or Canada am going to be one of the first members

Abraham lived for 175 years so he still lived another 100 years after receiving his call at 75 years. Who lives for that long in our dispensation? I know Bishop Abioye is made and will succeed in whatever he begins now but you know the limitations of age.

Arrowhead71:
you don’t know anything, Oyedepo raised so many pastors as fire brand ,who later left for another ministry, Abioye is also good, but to say he is the only one who gave winners positive outlook is overstated, the Anointing flow from the head to the garment, without Oyedepo there is no way you would have met Abioye and that is how the story and history will be remembered, do you know pastor Simeon Afolabi, he pioneered Lagos branch 1991, when he is preaching both Oyedepo and Abioye sat and took notes because of the depth of his insight but that does not make him the positive image or whatever you called it , and when Simeon Afolabi left in 1994 despite all persuasions against it , it hurt Oyedepo, but the church still exploded into world biggest and prosperous, as long as the visionary is alive in God , who left or stay does not change God promise to the ministry

The reason people are complaining is that Bishop Abioye served winners almost all his adult life. At 63 years where do you want him to start from. 63 years is still young in ministry to retire but almost late to start afresh

Broadcasting House, Ikoyi is a historically significant complex on Ikoyi Road in Old Ikoyi. It is called Broadcasting House, but it is actually a complex of many buildings.

Broadcasting House, Ikoyi was established in 1950 when the Radio Redifusion Service became the Nigerian Broadcasting Service (NBS), later known as the Nigerian Broadcasting Corporation (NBC).

Professor Wole Soyinka, Professor Chinua Achebe, Cyprian Ekwensi, Uche Chukwumerije and other famous personalities worked here in the late 1950s and early 1960s.

Wole Soyinka said that he hated the Lagos traffic, so he used to drive to Unilag and then take a canoe to Broadcasting House and then a canoe back to Unilag when he had finished for the day.

This complex became a heavily militarised complex from the 1970s till 1999. I saw main battle tanks and armoured fighting vehicles in the compound. There was a machine gun nest beside the gate (there was a square hole in the wall of the gatehouse and it was surrounded by bags of sand and covered with camouflage nets. There was a general purpose machine gun in the hole). The soldiers used to maltreat Radio Nigeria workers.

The coupists placed soldiers in this complex during the January 1966 coup, but Ironsi later appeared at the complex and changed the soldiers.

Joseph Garba made his coup speech from this complex in 1975 and one of the soldiers told him that he was worried because there weren't enough soldiers at the complex. He needn't have been worried. Broadcasting House is opposite State House, Dodan Barracks and Ibrahim Babangida had surrounded Dodan Barracks with tanks.

General Murtala Muhammed was killed near this complex and Dimka walked to the complex on foot to make his coup speech. General T.Y. Danjuma sent Ibrahim Babangida to remove Dimka from Broadcasting House and he was angry that Babangida said that he had spoken to Dimka. He ordered Babangida to blow down the radio station if necessary, but he must stop Dimka's speech from being broadcast on the airwaves (Babangida did not want to harm the staff of the radio station, that's why he chose to talk to Dimka, rather than attack the complex). Dimka was eventually flushed out after a firefight.

Sani Abacha and Joshua Dogonyaro also made their coup speeches from here in 1983 and 1985.

Broadcasting House is not too far from my former house and I was woken in the middle of the night by loud explosions on April 22nd, 1990. Coupists had used the armoured vehicles at Broadcasting House to attack Dodan Barracks. It was from this complex that Gideon Orkar made his coup speech and Sani Abacha made his counter speech (after Brigadier Ishaya Bamaiyi had recaptured the complex).

A nightly curfew was declared on Ikoyi Road after that coup. Soldiers would seal off the road from 6pm till 6am. Some people that I know refused to heed my warning that they should go home early back in 1997. They got Okada riders to take them to Obalende around 6pm. They were able to get onto Ikoyi Road, but soldiers at the Obalende end stopped them and told them to walk back to Ikoyi on their knees.

Broadcasting House, Ikoyi was the headquarters of the NBC, later FRCN from 1950 till the mid 1990s when the headquarters moved to Abuja.

President Obasanjo appointed Dr Eddie Iroh as the director general of the Federal Radio Corporation (FRCN) in 1999 and he said that he got his greatest pleasure by ordering the soldiers to pack their equipment and leave the complex.

Broadcasting House, Ikoyi was the home of Radio Nigeria 1 (now Radio One). Radio Nigeria 2 (now Metro FM) was started here in 1979, but it moved to Martins Street shortly afterwards. It moved back to this place after the Martims Street station burnt down in the 1990s. Radio Nigeria 3 (now Bond FM) was started here in 1989.


Yes, this is the same complex from which legends like:

Dr Christopher Kolade
Ikenna Ndaguba
Princess Banke Ademola

Sonny Irabor, Joseph Akinyemi Johnson (J.A.J), Boniface Onogwu, Vin-Martin Ilo, Momoh Kubanje, Willy Egbe, Ohi Alegbe, Jones Usen, Ihria Enakhimio, Aloma Nwogbe, Godwin Asuquo, Ndidi Osaka, Femi Sowoolu, Phil Ushie, Jim Lawson Maduike, Ohi Alegbe, Femi Sowoolu, Ihria Enakhimio, Zachary Mohamed (Captain ZM), Manny Onumonu, Evelyn Russell, Veronica Osawere, John Chukwu, Emeka Odikpo, Ernest Okonkwo, etc. spoke to Nigeria.

In fact, Dr Kolade was trapped in Broadcasting House during Dimka’s coup.

Thanks for this rich historical perspective. I remember those broadcast legends as a child.

This is heresy!!!!!

agulion:
He did not die recently, for those that was saying how will gvt delay anoucing his death , the that he is a Muslim, now how many weeks now since the finally anouce his death, Islamic law is only made for poor Muslims, the rich don't follow Islamic law

Also they claimed his died in Lagos. Why is it just arriving in Lagos. May his soul rest in peace

Marriage is complex. I know someone who married his age mate and they are living happily while another buddy is always fighting with his wife because she doesn't respect him because they are the same age. However, it is always better for the man to be older than the wife with 5-10 years as the wife will give him more respect, all things being equal!

Just make sure you have lots of money as a man in NIGERIA and the wife will always respect you, no matter the age difference!

Which one be more respect? If a woman respects you she respects you. Being older by 5 or 10 years won't increase the respect. I know women who disrespect their husbands despite the 5 - 10 years age gap.

We are running towards what other countries are running away from.

Her mother was a senior colleague. Though, not liberal at all.

Yoruba community in the North? I can't believe this.

There lots of Yorubas in Kaduna. They speak Yoruba on the streets of Kaduna.

He is a human being like any one of us. No big deal. It's in Nigerian some big always try to show superiority to others. Even if he has his security aids around him at least he went there to buy things for himself

Unfortunately, life is not like that. Bad girls are very experienced and skilled in grabbing good boys. Good boys are mostly naive.
Bad boys are very smart and convincing to win the heart of any woman!!!

Addme:
I think the guy once worked with Channels or AIT, really can't remember.
He is also an expert in the field but can't doubt if his looks and accent also contributed to getting that job

He worked with AIT before joining Channels TV

lexy2014:
how can someone park a truck like that without any warning to oncoming road users?

Honestly that's bad. Also, we should avoid over speeding to avoid such situations.
Christian Obi used to be goal keeper of Iwuanyanwu Nationale in those days. May his gentle soul rest in peace

What about mosques Is it only churches? The Mosque at Kukoyi street off Abeokuta street Bariga Lagos disturbs us morning and night everyday. They need to close it.

While in NYSC Orientation Camp in 2001, they used to serve us with poor quality meals with one piece of meat. But on the day the NYSC DG visited, the quality of the food improved significantly with 2 big pieces of meat. Nigeria we hail thee!!!

Finest brain like Diezani Alison Madueke?

Jonathan was one of the most clueless president Nigeria was ever cursed with, unfortunately Buhari and PBAT are worse in comparison but that does not make Jona any better.

Out of every 12 there is a Judas. Jonathan was not clueless. He might not be an orator or a very strong personality but he was 10 times better than Buhari and Tinubu put together.

She is Nigeria's first female pilot but she was not born in 1970.

Kobicove:
I don't think this woman is Nigeria's first female pilot...if I'm not mistaken I think there was another female pilot before her (the one who was murdered by her domestic servant over 15 years ago).

By the way I'm Igbo, just in case any of you stupid tribal bigots want to attack me!

The problem of secondary education in Nigeria is multifarious and beyond curriculum. Our curriculum is still relatively good. The decay in moral values, lack of qualified adequate teachers and many of those teaching are incompetent, poor infrastructure and funding are some of the teething problems affecting secondary school education in Nigeria.

Lekki is glorified Maroko. I remember when we used to live in Maroko some 34 years ago, before the houses in Maroko were demolished by Col. Raji Rasaki. We were practically acquatic animals

But he is saying the truth. He's simply saying spend your pension wisely.

It's possible she is genuinely worried about the areas of your life or character that seem like a red flag and it's also possible that she is using you as spare tyre. If she things she told you about are true then you need to change and see what her response would be.

Chidex369:
Greetings my people,

Please I really need your advice on how to go about this matter that is really eating me up. We went on a normal date with my girl whom I have proposed marriage to and she accepted it. But in recent time I have been telling her to come and see my parent but was like we are not yet ready, I don't understand it.

Today we went out and she opened up and started telling me areas of my life which she's not really comfortable with and I should improve on them. When she was done she said she needs us to slow things down for now.

I don't really know how to go about this right now. Please I really need your advice on it. I really love this girl and wants to settle down with her. We broke before and reconcile after two years, and we been back for like 6 months now.

Please no insult or curse. Please I need your advice.

It's nothing but vanity. An average person may not know the cost when she wears it.

6. High libido - Some women have abnormally high libido. Such women are likely to cheat on their husbands especially those who were runs girls before getting married

God1000:
Osimhen made a big mistake insulting finidi George, this is a big stain on him, he should humble himself and desist from such behavior, he should not use his mouth to destroy his own career, people are watching him.

The world is now a global village. I doubt if his coach at Napoli and management have not seen it. I doubt if managers of top clubs have not seen or read about it. It may have a damaging effect on his career. Oyibo people get sense oo

This guy clearly lacks discipline. His better days seem to be behind him. It's just a matter of time. His generation of super eagles has not given Nigerians joy like Finidi's 94 set.

Once in a while he should visit his hometown for such celebrations.

Portraits don't etch people's names in gold. Outstanding performance and impact is what good leaders are remembered for. We were expecting the portrait of Chief MKO Abiola, the hero of the June 12 struggle.

Journalists can be sensational in their reporting. She has been a senior Lecturer for years with adequate publications for the position. it's the usual practice to backdate promotion to professorial cadre to the date a Prima facie case was established. Congratulations to her.

On Google Scholar she has 91 publications, 407 citations, H-index of 10 and i10-index of 10 which should be more than enough to be promoted to a full professor. As a neutral academic I can say she deserves her appointment.

[quote author=TonyeBarcanista post=130283697][/quote]There is hyper-inflation already. Salary has remained static for years. Do you want Nigerians to start dying on the streets before you realize they deserve a salary increase. In 2016, how much was a loaf of sliced bread? How much was a tin or sachet of milk? How much was a paint of garri?
You may be rich and have the whole world but show some empathy and common sense in matters like these
