Strange. Did this happen in Nigeria or abroad

Emperormartin:
You're right. That no 2 is spot on.

My married friend introduced me to a WhatsApp group of married people between the ages of 35-45...

Their only business in that Whatsapp group is talk about sex, sex and sex and how to hook up and have sex among one another. These are married women and men with kids.

I'm not married but I have to remove myself from the group because it's kinda painting me bad image of marriage institution.

The last straw why I left the group is when they were organizing orgies in one Hotel in our area. The orgies will start from Friday evening and throughout the weekend... I was man matched with some married women in their early 40's... I ran!!!

I've to delete myself from that group. I'm not a saint either but this kind of sin is beyond me

True she's a mini politician but a born technocrat.ayade forced her to be woman leader to cover his interest at abj.
Yes adelabu contested twice but he's no politician.he spent all his active years at CBN.ohanenye contested to complete numbers and perhaps boost her profile but she's not an active politician like wike,umahi who are competent fellows.
I heard delta will get another slot with ibori nominating

Once a technocrat becomes a core politician, it becomes difficult to trust his objectivity in decision making because of his political interests. How to raise money to fund the next elections.

Ebubu2:
he will step down from one.

It's a high risk to resign as a serving senator. What if tribunal sacks Tinubu? What if Tinubu quarrels with him or feels he has performed abysmally and removes him from office?

garfield1:
Oga 15 of the 28 names are technocrats or non politicians.you don't need to be told that wale edun or adelabu will get either finance

90% of those on the list are politicians. If you don't know their names doesn't mean they are not politicians!!!!

In two months he couldn't get a complete list of ministers from each state of the federation. A list folled with politicians.

He died in the early 1990s. He was indeed a legend

seguno2:
Is he still alive?
If not, when did he die and what age?

Are these things not important to complete the story

The social aspect of staying or living abroad is not as easy as people back home think especially if you're living alone. I was the only black man in a church I attended while in the US.

In the first place, no one is appointed or promoted to the position of a professor without engaging in any form or research and publishing
his or her research findings in journals and learned conferences. Although some stop or slow down after attaining the position of professor for several reasons particularly poor incentives

CodeTemplar:
^^^
That's not dictatorship but enforcing of basic rules of their trade.
As a professor research must be embraced and not just dissemination of some stale lecture note.

1. Sow your coat according to your cloth.
2. Don't drink, smoke or womanize.
3. Do side huzzles and intensify your efforts in getting another job

They do it for their future political ambitions not for one Nigeria.

LegendHero:
Why do you want a Yoruba to be appointed in far away Abia bro?

There is nothing bad in Otti appointing only Igbo because that space is Igbo land.

We Yoruba should rather talk to our own mumu governors doing eye service who foolishly appoint other tribe as commissioners all in a bid to look One Nigerian.

Stop this unreasonable propaganda whatever improvement we have experienced in electricity are PMB & even GEJ's achievements. Don't give Buhari's achievement to Tinubu. He couldn't have done anything significant in 3 weeks. As much as we don't like Buhari for all his evil policies. Engineering is not emotions. Even the Devil deserves his dues.

The politicians are not the only ones that enjoyed free education Every Nigerian student that got their BSc from inception till now enjoyed it . If federal universities becomes more expensive to private good for them they’ll lose student to the private sector but I doubt .

If we won’t be sincere no country with a stable and standard education pays peanut as Nigeria “ better soup na money kill am” it’s not magic or rocket science. Power has improved in my area now drastically i don’t bother to charge my phone unlike before but I’m paying for it the subsidy is about to go off .

If Phcn refuses to supply light they won’t be able to fund themselves automatically they’ll supply light so people will buy for them to survive. Unlike before wether they supply or not government will bankroll them .

The only issue I’m having with BAT is to encourage the NASS, Judiciary and executive to cut the cost of governance let everyone feel it . The civil society should also step up campaign online I’ll support that one .
If subsidy refuses to go for power and education it’ll continue to be epileptic .

Is BAT going to import new lecturers from the moon? Will the laboratories suddenly become functional overnight? When tuition fees have not yet been introduced, the school fees are already N200,000. What happens when students have to pay tuition fees? Some private universities will be cheaper than some Federal Universities due to over bloated workforce particularly non-academic staff in Federal Universities and massive corruption in the system. This your propaganda is unnecessary. The politicians who enjoyed free education have stolen the nation blind and now claim that government cannot fund education. There should be minimal increase in school fees not more than N100,000 based on present economic realities for running of universities but salaries should be borne by government.

anonymous1759:
Sad reality Nigerians always complaining we don’t enjoy anything from the government but it’s all fallacy we’ve been enjoying subsidies for a long while from electricity, PMS, education, health etc . You actually don’t value what you’ve until you loose it . Removing of subsidies in power and education will automatically kill the corruption in the system . I feel sad for those who are yet to get their Bsc’s you’ll enjoy quality education at high price unlike someone of who enjoyed low quality at a lower price you can’t eat your cake an have it .

What BAT is doing is what Nigerian past administration should’ve done long time ago . Next line in action NLC should force the NASS assembly to go under minimum wage by protest . The president doesn’t have the power to reduce their salaries. Minimum wage will surely increase BAT is doing well.

Monumental waste. If his problem is sign of the cross why not remove it?

This will mark the end of subsidized education. They better increase minimum wage to a reasonable level before then. Nigeria is now a capitalist economy controlled by the forces of supply and demand. It will favour some and while the pains will be excruciating for those at the lower wrung of the economic ladder. nigerians are usually deceived with "initial gragra". At the beginining of buhari's regime what we heard was body language.

They have started with propaganda. I asked for the price few days ago whe I read the price has crashed. The gas seller told me the 12.5 kg is N9,500 instead of previous price of N10,000

Biodun556:

June 12 was very calm and peaceful like any other day. People went to their polling units to cast their votes. I did not vote as I was less tha 18 years during voter registration. There was no movement till after elections as usual. The events that happened after the suspension of announcement of results and the eventual annulment were quite frightening and disturbing. There were protests nationwide, the army was given shoot at site order. Some protesters were shot dead and dead bodies littered in the streets of Lagos. However, the then Minister of Information Late Comrade Uche Chukwumerije said nobody died. There was fuel scarcity as NUPENG and PENGASSAN went on prolonged strikes. Their leaders like Frank Kokori were arrested. We suffered no be small as petrol and kerosene were scarce. Some people started using firewood and saw dust to cook. Many of us from the east travelled home. Lagos became quiet at some point. This is the end of my story.

Our elections are usually not based on competence and performance. That's the sad reality!!!

Zxcvbnmghtr:
Akpabio's achievements are so visible as a former Governor of Akwa Ibom state. He transformed that state to meet modern standards. What can anyone point to as Yari's achievements as a former Governor of Zamafara? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

It's not necessarily true. The salaries are designed to make them to meet their basic needs except for those who occupy executive positions like directors and permanent secretaries etc. Or those who are involved in corrupt practices. I have received promotion with less than 15,000 added to my salary. Some civil servants manage to do some side hussles like farming or trading but it does not make them rich. An average civil servant(graduate cadre upwards) who plans his life may just be moderately comfortable, managing to train his kids, builds a small house where he retires. If we have a responsible government their pension and grauities should not be owed them.

jaeyking:
Well lack of planning for the future
Depending on only that source of income
Family pressures ( because they know once month ends them don pay)

So the way forward is to plan for the future
Cut down expenses in terms of children fees (there are good school dat pay less fees), buy food in bulk (it saves)
Your house rent shouldn't be more than two months of your salary (start small in life, you are not here to impress anyone).
Your wife/partner should not be a full-time house wife. She should own some that brings in income

Above all, have side hustles that can bring in income weekly or daily.

With this person fit manage life small

They just want to create the erroneous impression that they are negotiating on behalf of workers. The realistic minimum wage should be between 60,000 -90,000 naira.

Jorussia:
If we are sincere with ourselves subsidy is no longer a necessity in the present day economy of Nigeria.I don't know why some people are crying over this removal like d world is about to come to an end.The effect of this current price increase is not as devastating as some of us thought it would be on transportation.In Benin city its effect on transportation has been minimal so far. I had to check the price of God is Good motors some minutes ago,and i saw an increment of #16k to #20k for Benin to Lagos. I used be a supporter of removing subsidy after refineries are fixed,but subsidy no longer justify its existence.

How do you expect salary earners to survive the way it was removed with this hardship? We need to be sincere as a people if we want this country to be better. If the Tinubu feels for the masses, he should have increased minimum wage and put certain things in place before subsidy removal.

emerged01:
I belong to this guy school of thought. Those that are benefitting in the gap between official rate and black market are losing already and they are part of the people that create scarcity.

This is not totally true as it will affect electronic payments. i the past we did electronic payments at the official rate of 437 to a dollar. Now it will be 630.

He told Emefiele to do 20 press ups. Afterwards Emefiele was asked to do frog jump for 30 minutes and then discharged and acquitted.

It's normal for a newly inaugurated president to get reports from the CBN governor. The worst he will do is to ask Emefiele to resign.

A set of frustrated people

These politicians always like to play on the intelligence of the masses. She is no doubt a great actor. But what expertise and experience does she have in public policy, governance, economics and public administration?

Causes of loneliness abroad, not only UK:
* Most people do shifts, and the weekend pays are higher. So it is uncommon for friends to be off-duty on same days, or even same time of the day. No time to visit or hangout.
* Working abroad is not like Nigeria where you will have time to gist with your colleagues during work hours. Even if you're not that busy at work, it's unethical to leave your workstation without good reason.
* It's common to have a chat with your neighbours in Nigeria but in the UK except you have Nigerian neighbours (Indians too like to make friends), you might not even know them. Most people mind their business even in shared houses.
* Other places to quickly make friends are churches and mosques, and many people don't attend them in the UK.
* Hangouts (bars and clubs) are not cheap like Nigeria. Friends also hangout less.
* Except you've been friends from home, Nigerians are very careful with making new Nigerian friends abroad. We all know why - we don't trust one another that much.
* You can't hear people discussing politics or sports (football) or "the situation of the country" in the bus or train. Not even someone speaking loudly on the phone. No "conductor my change" or "Jibowu wá o" or "driver take it easy oo" or two drivers quarrelling after bashing their cars - all those drama that keep your mind busy when you are moving around in Naija.

Despite all that no one of them had returned home!

Very apt. Nigerians abroad are reluctant to relate with Nigerians they didn't know back home. I had similar experience in the US

Yorubas have been elected governors iin Zamfara. Dare is a Yoruba man. Yoruba narrowly missed in Kaduna.

Currently we have over Over 5M Jehovah witness members across the nation. Jehovah witness are very good and enlightening people, well trained and well educated.

I always love to read Jehovah witness Awake books which always shows us how to cope with today’s problems and builds confidence in the Creator’s promise of a peaceful and secure new world.

But with all thier enlightenment with the technology, science, word of God, I have never see them engage in politics or discuss with you how to move a nation forward.

So despite all people are going through in this nation, I have never hear or see any Jehovah witness condemn or commend... They don't border about voting or participate in politics.

Why dear JW in the house, can you please show us Maybe you guys are see what others don't see?

Is Festus Keyamo not a member Jehovah's Witnesses?

The position of the speaker may be zoned to another region since Tinubu is from the South West. Hence he's not likely to be the speaker.

God1000:
I don't understand why anyone will leave such a powerful position for a mere chief of staff

They should postpone the governorship and house of assembly elections by at least one week.

Kingibe abandoned MKO and joined Abacha's Government as as minister. Who knows Tomorrow??

What legacy? One of the longest fuel scarcities since 1999? Longest ASUU strikes? Galloping inflation? several recessions? Appointment of dead persons in offices during his first tenure? Nigeria became the poverty capital of the world under his watch with over 130 million Nigerians multidimensionally poor. Citizens unable to access their hard-earned money in the banks. What legacy? His tenure caused untold suffering and pain to millions of Nigerians. We are waiting for him to leave on May 29 2023?
