RomanceMen And Cheating:ladies What Do You Think About This? by christopher123(op): 3:49pm On Jul 02, 2017
Ladies what do you think about this?To me this is bitter truth,i decide to copy and share,to take life simple so as to have rest of mind。*This is true:*

1). Most men cannot have sex exclusively with just one woman, for the rest of their lives.

2). Men are created with varied sexual appetite, some men can do without sex for a year, others cannot do without sex for 2 days.

3). A man who’s madly in love with one woman may still have sex with other women but still love his ‘woman’.

4). Some of the best husbands have concubines or mistresses. Their extra marital affairs play a role in keeping the man sane and free of sexual tensions, especially during mid-life crises.

5). If your man is just having sex with some sweet sexy teen or babe, DO NOT WORRY. It’s part of the game.

6). Before you choose your man, ensure he believes in AIDs, STDs and protected sex. That way, chances are that he will not bring HIV and other STDs into your life.

7). Most chronic wife beaters are faithful husbands, they hardly have extra marital affairs.

cool. Most ‘extra’ loving husbands have concubines, these concubines keep the man abreast on new ways of making women happy.

9). Your man’s mistress or concubine is most times not interested in you or your home. She has already seen your pictures and those of your kids via your hubby’s phone. She and your hubby just have a sexual understanding or partnership which helps both deal with peculiar individual issues.

10). As a woman, if you go all out in a bid to catch your husband red-handed cheating, you WILL succeed. Then what next? If you listen hard to your domestic servants in their private discussions, you will certainly hear them insult you, so why listen?

11). Judge your man by his responsibilities towards you and the kids, and NOT by who he’s giving ‘Sexual style’ to outside

12) A man who will cheat will cheat irrespective of what you do! Stop checking his phone, don’t go through his mailbox! Stay away from it.

PoliticsMiddle Belts Shades Arewa North And Sides The South East Igbo by christopher123(op): 2:52pm On Jun 07, 2017
*PRESS RELEASE BY THE MIDDLE BELT YOUTH COUNCIL.*

*DATE: 7TH JUNE, 2017*

We wish to express our profound gratitude to God for keeping us alive today. Middle Belt Youth Council is extremely concerned about the ongoing regional tension in Nigeria today and we want to make our position clear to the world. In the light of incessant threats to one Nigeria posed by killer-herdsmen, we want to call on good people of Middle Belt to first of all, *support the Anti-grazing Bill.* Grazing by Fulani herdsmen on our land has become the major cause of conflicts in our region therefore, we’re calling for total ban on open grazing so as to save the lives of our people and their farmlands.


Secondly, it’s no longer news that our country Nigeria is facing a daunting challenge of peace and unity but we want to assure the good citizens of Nigeria that we have been a peace-loving people and we’ll continue to be. But, in an event one part of the country decides to go away as a separate entity, Middle Belt is also ready to make an independent statement. We want to clarify those who think that the Middle Belt is part of the North: God created everywhere and everyone and He gave it to whom He chooses and Middle Belt is a creation of God and not man (Usman bn Fodio). Therefore, we choose what to use our land for, how to run it and where we want to be. Middle Belt has been a home for the Ohanaeze Ndigbo, South-South and the South-West without any form of discrimination against anyone. We’ve accommodated every Nigerian for centuries now. We deserve respect and commendations.


If the Arewa youths are sending away Igbos from their states, we in the Middle Belt are ready to offer them accommodation in our land (which is an inheritance from God and nobody will take it away from us) for them to continue with their life and businesses. Southern Nigeria people should also know that ‘Middle Belters’ are not northerners and we can never be because we’re not affiliated in terms of culture, language, education, economy, and general lifestyle. The Biafran struggle did not come as an accident but as a result of injustice and unfair treatment to regions, people or religion. Over the years, our federalism has been a fat lie that deprives political rights and freedom of some sections of the country while others benefit immensely from it.
Middle Belt has been at the receiving end of this inequitable arrangement in which our people in Southern Kaduna, Southern Bauchi, Southern Borno, Southern Kebbi, Adamawa are under constant alienation and annihilation. Therefore, Middle Belt strongly stands for reconstruction of Nigeria not only restructuring. We’ll join hands with Southern Nigerian people to actualize it. In view of this press statement, we want to urge Middle Belters to remain resolute in making sure we protect our future against the claims by the Hausa/Fulani. More so, for want of peace and unity of dear country Nigeria, we call on Igbo nation to feel at home in the Middle Belt in an event they are sent away from the Arewa land.
God bless Nigeria! God bless the Middle Belt.

Signed:
President, Emma Zopmal

PoliticsArewa Youths Ultimatum To Igbo : A Threat Or A Travel Advisory ? by christopher123(op): 10:00am On Jun 07, 2017
Recently, the civilised world and the country was dazed and taken aback over the threat sand the ultimatum that Arewa youth or the Northern youths said that Igbo should leave the northern zone. This ultimatum should be within three months ! Now, the Igbo and the southern people have three months to comply or we know how the region is . As a tinder box of Nigeria, the chaos will be unimaginable. We wait for the position of the federal government on this. Another question is , what are the zones that arewa is talking about ? Is it Jos, which is a Christian state ,is it Benue, who h have cultural affinity with Igbo and 70% Christian . Is it Kogi state that has an immense cultural relationship with Yoruba and at the fringes of Anambra border, with Igbo. We will want Arewa youths to be specific here .

What is their grouse and anger ? They stated that ,it was because of a successful sit at home that the Igbo conducted May 30 2017, to remember those that died in Biafra war. A war that Africa has never seen and a war that saw about three million Igbos perish, especially women and kids. Now the question again is this? Is it wrong to remember the death and pay respect to them? The Jews remember Holocaust, the blacks remember slavery and so many more. Yes, we know through incidence or accident , history subject has been banished from Nigeria school. Do they want Igbo to have selective amnesia ? The answers to these is , Hell No!
Igbo to leave….I think this is the height of frustration, desperation and despondency. Are Igbo the cause of their low edu action, are Igbo the cause of the Almajiri , are Igbo the cause of their backwardness, are Igbo the cause of their problem. In Nigeria, Hausa north has been ruling for decades, yet in terms of human capacity index, they are the most backward.

We didn’t tell them to sure kids like fowls.
We didn’t tell them not to go to school
We didn’t tell them not to immunise their kids
We didn’t tell them not to hold their leaders and ask them questions why their are backward
We didn’t tell them to marry off their girls at 12 yes instaed of sending them to school
We, Nigerians didn’t tell them to have leaders that have refused to rise above religious and cultural impediments. They should copy the likes of Ebonyi, Anambra, Lagos and other government.
We didn’t tell their governors to build mosques instead of school
We didn’t tell their governors to give them wheel barrows
We didn’t tell them to see education as haram
Now, get this fact…Let’s assume that Igbo leaves, the north will be sending a very wrong message to the world that it is a hostile region, a region that doesn’t appreciate other religion. In a world that is highly connected ,the Hausa and Northern youths are sending a very wrong message. Now, it will hurt them economically, considering how disadvantaged their region is, coupled with environmental issues and desertification,then high level of illiteracy. They will move down south as we have seen recently via the cattle herding issue. The Arewa leaders must call their kids to other.

North is the tinder box of Nigeria, somebody draws a cartoon in the Norse ,you guys bring it to Africa and kill.
They will want to attract tourism via miss world peagent, you guys will shout …And be an embarrassment to us in the front of world committee
What do the north want for fucking sake…You guys said that Kano is more developed and populated than Lagos…We let it slide . Which is a big fallacy
You guys told us that you guys are more populated than the littoral states …Which is a fallacy. I haven’t seen where desert is more populated than the states around seas.
You guys said that you want to keep wondering and constituting nuisance in terms of cattle herding ….Some people are comfortable with it. Man , has evolved..We have moved from homo erectus to homo sapiens. But ,you guys want to maintain the homo erectus stage…Which is the wondering g man. No problem.

Now, to all Igbos and southerners staying there…This is a travel advisory. Do the needful. Let the world see who blinks first . We must stop fanning the embers of disunity. Nobody has the exclusive rights of violence and we must understand the need to accept people’s view . Divergent views is what makes a nation like Nigeria great and the Arewa must understand this.

Countries like USA, Canada , UAE are attracting foreigners and investors to come and invest in their country . Now you guys are chasing people away..Not as if the place is very viable, with fanatics everywhere and cultural impediments.

Arewa, don’t worry, you will join the league if your neighbours, Niger, Chad and Somalia . By the way, you people have a lot in common. To Igbo and southerners (they can’t differentiate between the Ibibio from Into) staying in the North, this is a travel advisory. Heed to warning.

Career5.5m Nigerians Lost Their Jobs In The Last Years – NBS by christopher123(op): 5:12pm On Jun 06, 2017
Approximately 5.5 million Nigerians have become unemployed in the past two years of the current administration, figures from the National Bureau of Statistics has revealed.

According to the latest unemployment report released by NBS, 351,015 Nigerians became unemployed in the last quarter of 2016, bringing the total number of unemployed and underemployed persons to 28.58 million.

As at August 2016, 4.58 million Nigerians had become unemployed since the President Muhammadu Buhari administration took power.

That figured increased in the third quarter of 2016 to 5,134,913 as unemployment rate spiked to 13.9 percent.

But according to the latest NBS report, “In Q4 2016, the labour force population (i.e. those within the working age population willing, able and actively looking for work) increased to 81.15 million from 80.67 million in Q3 2016,representing an increase of 0.6% in the labour force during the quarter”.

“This means about 482,689 persons from the economically active population entered the labour force during the quarter.

“During the reference period, the number of unemployed in the labour force, increased by 351,015persons, resulting in an increase in the national unemployment rate to 14.2% in Q4 2016, slightly up from 13.9% in Q3,13.3% in Q2, 12.1% in Q1 2016,and 10.4% in Q4 2015″.

The Buhari administration promised to create millions of job in 2016, but NBS figures show that the jobs created could not match the fresh entrants of the labour market.

It is worthy of note that 27.44 million persons within the economically active or working age population decided not to work for one reason or the other in Q4 2016.

There were a total of 28.58 million persons in the Nigerian labour force in Q4 2016, that were either unemployed or underemployed compared to compared to 27.12million in Q3, 26.06million in Q2 and24.5 million in Q1 2016.

PoliticsBiafra Agitation Is Simply A Fallout Of Frustrations – Sabinus Alozie by christopher123(op): 4:53pm On Jun 06, 2017
It will be good to have a real Igbo man President of Nigeria. An Igbo man bred out of our culture, moral discipline and sociology. An Igbo man who has achieved meritorious self accomplishements and respect of the Igbo race; not by catalog of deceptions. And who by that vision of Igbo man’s sense of industry, honesty and dexterity can pilot an ideological polity for the benefit of Nigeria and Nigerians. But definitely not the Igbo man President of Nigeriaa imposed by some self-serving Huasa/Fulani and Yoruba political mafia that only exist for themselves and will justifyingly want to say ”let Nigeria be” because we have a sale-away Igbo man willing to be used. Not an Igbo man who will be willing not to speak Igbo language at Aso rock; but will be willing to have someone check mate him in the office to ensure that he only speaks English like it was to Aguiyi Ironsi whom history says the now retired Gen Danjuma used to be stationed in office to ensure compliance.

If fellow Nigerians of other nationalities have come to realise the terrible wickedness and deceptive dislocations caused to the Igbo race for no just cause, we are able to heal the wonds of this land and make Nigeria a land of peace and prosperity again.

Biafra agitation is simply a fallout of frustrations in the midst of the people who have reached their wits’end and have lost sense of accommodation in the once cherished political entity we were building with the pledge that ”no man be oppressed”.

Can we rebuild a sense of sincerity? Yes we can!
Can we affirm the faith that we are one Nigeria where no man is oppressed? Yes we can!

Can we affirm to our creed that ”though tribe and tongue may differ” but in brotherhood we stand? Yes we can!

Can we decide that the way Ekwueme’s and Iwuanyanwu’s presidential abitions were scuttled because they are Igbo men of principle will be stopped? Yes we can!

Can we appreciate that the presence of the Igbo man in every part of the country is a demonstration of his openness, goodwill and willingness to build a virile Nigeria? Yes we can!

Can we trust the Igbo man for whom he is instead of suspecting and hindering him in every move he makes in the pursuit of normal life? Yes we can!

In every sense of humility, I thank God and also thank you that you are listening to your conscience and have the courage to let it out that Nigerians of Igbo extraction deserve the office of the Presidency. Take the message of political tolerance back to your constituency. We as Igbos know ourselves and can present to Nigerians credible men of integrity, knowledge and power and who can make Nigeria great again, in the next election.

Can we have the Igbo man President of Nigeria come May 2019? Yes we can!

CrimeWhy Is Bisola Abayomi-ojo Yet To Be Extradited To Answer For Her Blatant Actions by christopher123(op): 9:45am On Jun 06, 2017
Although 9,293 people have currently signed the ongoing petition against Anthonia Bisola Abayomi-Ojo, the United States Government insists that only a warrant for her arrest from the Nigerian authorities can achieve the desired impact. In June of 2016, cameras at the school of the child in question caught the physiotherapist severely abusing a toddler with cerebral palsy put in her care.

The petition was filed on the 31st of May on the renowned online platform for change, change.org, and directed at the International Research and Exchanges Board (IREX), Duquesne University, and the United States Department of Homeland Securities. The demands of the petition include the rescindment of the accused’s Mandela Fellowship Award and her extradition from the United States to come back and answer for her inhuman crime.

Last November, Abayomi-Ojo took off to the United States to participate in the prestigious Mandela Washington Fellowship without bothering to conclude the laughable punishments meted out to her by the Medical Rehabilitation Board, Yaba.

In exchange for the mother of the victim – Bukola Ayinde – dropping the charges against her, Abayomi-Ojo was to simply undergo psychiatric evaluation, work without pay at a general hospital for three months under supervision, and her license was to be suspended for the same duration of time. Prior to this incident, Abayomi-Ojo had been operating without a valid license for about a year.

The intriguing part is, not only did she flagrantly disregard the mild provisions of the bargain, the seemingly unrepentant offender actually received permission from the medical board tasked with ensuring that she did. And now, the Nigerian government is dragging its feet to do the bare minimum in what is barely reparation for the abused child and her family.

Abayomi-Ojo’s two-year long physical abuse on the Ayinde kid left her traumatised and withdrawn, thereby adding to the family’s responsibilities in improving her welfare. Yet, Mrs. Ayinde decided against drastic civil actions, thinking it more impactful to have the necessary authorities declare the physiotherapist unfit for care provision.

However, Abayomi-Ojo is on the verge of completing her Young African Leadership Initiative (YALI) programme at Duquesne, which means the bodies directly and indirectly responsible for her continued training believe she is an outstanding member of society, despite the available disturbing evidence to the contrary.

It turns out Abayomi-ojo’s Fellowship is more valuable than the welfare of the Ayinde kid, as well as others like her who might unfortunately come in contact with or be placed under her care. The so-called physiotherapist was not having a bad day when that video footage was recorded – not that her actions would be excusable in the event of.

Rather she displayed a sinister behaviour over a lengthened period of time. This kind of behaviour is inherent, and a YALI fellowship won’t change that. Apparently, the United States won’t stop her if her own country is not “aware of the matter.”

So the question is, given the level of awareness generated by people who seem to understand the issue at stake, why exactly is the Nigerian government yet to arrange for Anthonia Bisola Abayomi-Ojo’s extradition?

FamilyWe Know Him When He Was Struggling Now He Has Forgotten Us by christopher123(op): 10:24am On Jun 05, 2017
Lately we have seen how everybody tried to identify with Efe, the winner of BigBrother Naija, we have seen how many states governors and tribes are trying to identify with Anthony Joshua of the boxing fame. The question is , those that are struggling and trying to identify with those folks , what have they added in their lives during their years of struggle ? These are few questions that they don’t ask.

It’s only in Nigeria have I seen someone who planted corn but intend to reap cassava. We reap where we have not sown. A school of thought that is spreading like wild fire. We are configured in that special kind of way and it leaves me sorrowful times without number thinking on this melee—-

Yesterday, I spent time on that entitlement mentality. Where we believe by the virtue of everything and nothing certain things should come to us effortlessly.

Very soon, those that did not lift a finger to your struggles especially during the formative stage of your life would be at the front seat telling people how they identified with you at that pathetic stage of life. I have seen this type of plot play out more than once. People call it famzing.

The worst case scenarios are those that didn’t know you from Adam confidently tell people around how they ate with you on plastic plates with stained hands. How they suffered with you till it broke their hearts, How they gave you stipend when you were in primary one or how they threw money at you like a call girl after having carnal knowledge with you.

They come around when you are near greatness. They always have something to say but before your greatness comes please find a way to kick them into the bottomless pit. It is a Monday. Work with a mentality that ensures success. Move it! Always encourage people in any sort of enterprise, it must be money, some soothing words can help. Do not have this pull him down mentality that is common in our climes. Believe in these people , when he “blows” trust me ,he will recognize you.

CelebritiesJim Iyke To Might Leave Acting For Politics by christopher123(op): 5:19pm On Jun 02, 2017
James Ikechukwu Esomugha, popularly known as Jim Iyke, is a Nigerian actor in Nigeria’s movie industry (popularly called Nollywood) In some quarters he is likened to be the Nollywood’s answer to Hollywood’s Will Smith. The envy of all all women and the crush of all ladies, with a lot of swag that will make Nicky grow green with envy. As it stands today, Jim seems to be rolling with the movers and shakers of the Nigeria’s political space. Our investigation shows that he has been hanging out with Nigeria’s Dino and in the other picture with political stakeholders from the east.

Like other actors that have left the stage for politics, Jim might have an eye in the corridors of power. With these high net worth individuals he has been seen with lately. What we can’t ascertain is the political platform he will be on. As an Igbo, we haven’t seen his position on the recent Biafra agitation and secession, like other entertainers from the Eastern Nigeria. Though, some have identified with the cause, while a whole lot of others are not talking. Lately, we have seen the verbal tirade between Fani Kayode, former minister of aviation, showing his displeasure on Kate Henshaw’s Biafra map,which the screen diva didn’t even take a note of.

In one of his INSTAGRAM posts, he said

When MEN visits late to decide the next course of affairs. Young Democratic party founder Hon Henry Nwabueze, H.E Ikedi G.Ohakim and DG Young Democratic party. #Blessed #NextChapter #YDP #GodChosen #Gladysboi #AbujaNiteChronicles


Now, we this kind of statement, we can confidently say that the stage has been set, politically, and the contacts made. What we cannot ascertain as of this time , is the political platform. 2019 is around the corner and we await Jim to make the announcement, hopefully.

CrimeHow Fake Prophetess Scams People In Lagos Using Pregnancy !!! by christopher123(op): 9:18am On Apr 27, 2017
There are certain things I will hear and I will begin to fear. How can you give birth without physically getting pregnant? No baby bumps, no baby kicks, no labour pains! Just a drug induced fatness and an imaginary push! No baby came out inbetween your legs yet you were forced to accept a baby as yours and also forced to come for Thanksgiving for safe delivery. Please has anyone heard or experienced something like this before? Hear her :



“There is something important I want to confide in you about my daughter. Actually, I am not sure she is mine. I am not her mother. That is why I always tell you that I want to have my own children. I started taking care of her from Birth. She is not my husband’s child too! My husband has sperm problem. It all started in 2012 due to the way he was always abusing me and beating me, cheating on me with different girls. I insisted on sperm count analysis and with pride, he told me he was going to prove me wrong and throw me out only to find out that his sperm was 1%. He went to Federal Hospital and they said it was 0%. Then my husband started threatening me that if I leave him, he will kill me. I could not cheat on him because it was against my believe. Before he discovered his problem, he used to treat me like a house help and a cheap prostitute, humiliates me in public.



A friend of my husband directed us to one church in Lagos owned by one Prophetess the East and located at Nnadi Street off Ilewak Ikotu Egbe. The whole thing of fake pregnancy started there. Ben I am telling you because I trust you, my best confidante. I cannot tell anybody this, not even my mum. She will expose me. That prophetess is evil. The most evil igbo woman I have ever seen. Ready to do anything for money. I was never pregnant but the woman made me to believe that I am pregnant. The first time we got to her church, my husband and I were asked to go to the women lodge and sleep. There are two bedrooms where they camp women, they sleep on the floor with mats. Some of them are already pregnant and some are waiting for her to confirm them pregnant. I was asked to stay in the women room, collected a card and number to see the prophetess. She placed me on 3 days prayers and fasting and asked me to pay 50k for oil. I paid! My husband went to lodge in a hotel because he could not bear the mosquito bites and sun flies. He went back home after the prayer and I was to stay until the woman confirms me pregnant. I stayed there for over a month, until she called her assistant Chioma to call me and ask me to pay N150k for me to be confirmed pregnant. I begged to pay N100k. In the church all payments are made one on one, no bank transaction, I paid and she said I can go and do thanksgiving that I am already pregnant; I was asked not to go to hospital that it is super Natural pregnancy that no Doctor will detect it; they gave me oil and one liquid they call blood of Jesus to be drinking and I paid 40k and I was ask to be paying consultation money of 5k every week till I deliver; as time goes on I started getting fat. In the seventh month they call me to come to Lagos for Thanksgiving; Thanksgiving money before the seventh month is 400k. After the thanksgiving, they ask me to pay 700k before my delivery if not I will never deliver; I got to find out that most of the women that are in the church carrying pregnancy for 2yrs, some 3yrs, 5yrs was because they don’t have money to pay, so she will never deliver them. Out of the 700k, I beg to pay 500k. The pregnancy does not show in the test.



This is a very big church, consists of igbo women from oka, onitsha and Aba, most of them husband, their husbands are rich; women do not go into labour by themselves, they will be the one to call you to come and deliver, no labour pains, no bleeding, on delivery night they will ask you to come with more money, some 800k, some 600k, she does not care whether you have it or not. I spent one year carrying the pregnancy, the baby never turns or kicks. some women put clothes in their belly to convince people about their pregnancy, she gave some drugs to be getting fat like me, women breast does not lactate after delivery except they do something about it. Some other women like my friend also find out the child was not her own after everything. That is how I ended up with my only daughter. No labour pains at all. I was just told to push but nothing came out of my pussy. My breast milk didn’t flow. When I find out, I could not tell my husband, the child was my only company, he was desperately ready to accept any girl pregnancy. He always take out his frustration on me, beat me with wooden mop, drag me on the floor even though he was the one with the problem.”

PoliticsNigerians vow to celebrate Christmas amid economic hardship by christopher123(op): 9:52am On Dec 19, 2016
Merry Christmas! This will be on the lips of many Nigerians from this week. Christmas in Nigeria is a time of great joy when families get together and celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. A period that Christians mark the birth of Jesus Christ and today a global event which has been so monetised that the essence of the celebration is being lost and eroded gradually. But, one thing we will admit is that Christmas and New Year period do come with this atmosphere of love that all and sundry enjoy, be it Christians, atheist or Muslim. The economic implications of Christmas in Nigeria are visible with the travelling of people to the countrysides for a reunion. This year’s Christmas in Nigeria has been downplayed, if wishes were horses, Nigerians would call for postponement of Christmas. As it stands , the festive mood is not lost but will be celebrated, albeit low-keyed.

Christmas 111.png

Will Nigerians celebrate this Christmas? A question that is on the lips of so many, Nigerian economy lately is not in the best form and has seen the worst recession in the last two decades, owing to the United States Dollar exchange rate for the Nigerian Naira, also coupled with the singular fact that the price of crude oil has fallen. These factors have made the Nigerian economy to be in tatters and citizens impoverished. Nigerians are noted to be one of the happiest people on earth and some have decided to take the situation as they come. Emeka Ibeawuchi, a businessman in the Ojo Alaba International market, had this to say “ Christmas is a period that we all go home, coming from the eastern part of Nigeria, it will be a thing of joy that I and my families travel to the village, for family reunions and possibly network. Though, business has been dull this time, compared to last year, there is nothing we can do bout it than hope for the better. But, I must travel home”

“I just love Christmas, but it is a pity that the economy is terrible, the cost of inflation is so high that I can’t even buy things for my family. My salary has been stagnant and am being owed some months, how an I find this Christmas interesting, it is so unfortunate, “Ibikunle Balogun said, a mother of three and works Lagos State.

A major recurring feature of the season is the hike of the prices of goods and services. Checks by eTimes revealed that, contrary to expectations, the prices of goods and services have remained relatively stable due to the hyperinflation that Nigerians have witnessed over the months. The cost of transportation is one of the few things that has been hiked. The average cost of travelling from Lagos to Onitsha which used to be around N4,500 has been pushed to around N5,000 – N7,000 depending on the brand and the bus company. Flight from Lagos to Enugu is around $70 – $80 USD which can be converted to N25,000(a less than hour flight) and the minimum wage of average Nigerian is N18,000 which is $57.15 a month. This is arrived using the official exchange rate .



The joy of Christmas will be truncated by the economic indices in the country, but as they say in the showbiz world” the show must go on” , Nigerians will try to be happy this period , with the strong traditional family system culture. Families will support each other. “ Left for me, I wouldn’t have travelled, but my mum wants to see me and my cousin will be using his car to travel so I will join him for a ride down the village. He is my cousin anyway, So he will oblige. Said Eunice Orjiakor, a beautician based in Lagos State.

PoliticsNigerians Value System and Quest For Profits Without Productivity by christopher123(op): 3:41pm On Dec 14, 2016
It doesn’t matters little if MMM goes under or even grows bigger. It is a pointer to our level of low as a people.
We complain about Nigeria from morning till night, Monday to Sunday, January to December. We want Nigeria to be good, but we have to address the right problems and these are, from what we have seen in recent years, are apparently NOT corruption (a stem and not the root), NO NOT leadership ( a branch quite a distance from the root), but is actually our VALUE SYSTEM as a people.


You will observe that it is the same people with these same twisted values who produce the same corrupt and inept leaders, and the same people keep reinventing newer levels of impunity and mind-boggling corruption.
While you are free to call out the foolish leaders and their acts of corruption, let us be free to call out the root of it all: our lack of understanding of value offering and value exchange!
For heaven’s sake, WHO makes money that is linked to ZERO productivity? ..and cares less where the money is coming from or whose loss will be his/her win?This mindset of anyhow profit is worse than the incompetence of your governor. The greed is well the same. The opportunities only have different names.

VALUE SYSTEM.jpg
The bank CEOs who profited from failed banks were dragged to courts and cursed out by most if not all of us. Little did we know millions of Nigerians were just waiting for their little opportunity to do the exact same. Enters MMM, and we all go to town with it.All these fellows knew there will be losses, but were content as long as they felt it wasn’t gonna be them losing.

It is foolishness and it is the root of our national predicament.
The ongoing mockery might feel insensitive, but let it sound a note to the average Nigerian that there is NO TRUE PROFIT without TRUE
PRODUCTIVITY.

And please don’t play the sympathy card of ‘situations and limited options’ …. it is the age long excuse people have given for thefts, for internet scams, for sms scams, 419er and all manner.

Same excuse some entity would give for helping himself to the valuables of accident victims before (if at all) he offers ‘help’.

Sadly help now has different meanings in our national lexicon, thanks to MMM.
This is way beyond profit vs loss, my money vs your money and such shallow banter, this for some of us is about the soul of our nation! And all that gloating has it’s place as a pointer to our sickeningly flawed values. Let those gloating gloat abeg. Let a bit of common sense standard be set… at least for another 2 decades.

THEY ARE FLAWRED, IF WE LOOK AT THE NIGERIAN COOPERATION THAT WENT UNDER OR DIED, SUCH AS NITEL, NIGERIA ARWAY AND NIPOST, THEY WERE HEADED BY MOSTLY SOUTH WEST AND NORTH. NIGER DOCK WAS BOOMING WHEN OZOBIA WAS THERE, BUT WHEN HE LEFT..NIGER DOCK DIED AND A WHOLE LOT


WE HAVE TO BE HONEST, TECHNICALLY SPEAKING, IGBO ARE GOOD IN MONEY MANAGEMENT AND TECHNOLOGY WHILE YORUBA ARE GOOD IN DIPLOMACY AND LAW


9jasite:
RECESSION: ARE SOUTH WEST TECHNOCRATS FLAWED?

The ongoing recession currently being experienced by Nigerians has been consistently blamed on Buhari’s action and inactions. However a review of on the cabinet members would be a reveal an overlooked fact: That the members of Buhari’s economic team have an overwhelming number of southwest technocrats!

You may ask of the relationship between the place of origin and the performance of an individual? It does matter a indeed matter a lot. You see an individual’s place of origin dictates his education and orientation.

The first south west technocrat to be linked to a National recession is Olu Falae [Mr. SAP]. He became popularly known as Mr. SAP due to his vehement argument for the Structural Adjustment Programme. Despite how unpopular the programme was, he went against all odds to choke down the unpopular pill down Nigeria’s throat. Olu Falae was the Finance minister at the time of Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida [1980’s] and as usual Recession was in the name.

The current crop of southwest technocrat led by Mrs. Kemi Adeosun, Yemi Osinbajo and Babatunde Fashola are presently the main arrow heads of the Buhari’s economic team. The trio are yet to show any clue on the job to the Nigerian economic stakeholders. The lack of economic blueprint is bewildering to many as it is now perceived that they may be learning on the job.

The inability of the trio to carry out any concrete steps or make headway is rather painful. More appalling is a comparison between the economic plight of Nigerians under southwest technocrat and South Eastern technocrats. The period of Okonjo Iweala and other Southern Eastern technocrats were a period of boom, both under Obasanjo and Jonathan.



Are South west Technocrats flawed?

The answer is NO.

REASON?

The inability of south west technocrats to successfully manage the Nigerian economy is not due to any flaw on their part, but a flaw in the Nigerian economy. You see the Nigerian Economy is a capitalist economy and the Awolowo educational system was socialist oriented. Hence the mantra or orientation of a typical south west born economist is tilted toward socialism.

Take a cogent look at the APC manifesto:

Free feeding
Government Jobs
Payment of 5,000 to Graduates
Government giving and giving and giving.
There is little or nothing left for the private sector or policy planning.

Take a quick perusal at the Southwest individual state economies:

Osun over-borrowed for socialist spending. Free food, tablets, jobs.
Ogun [/b]Pays Half salaries to workers which they over employed in line with socialist tendencies.
[b]Ekiti
State governor continuously spoon feeds the people with food and other consumables. [Socialist]
Ondo is overburdened with debts due to heavy government spending for socialist spending.
Other south west states face similar challenges also. Lagos is spared due to south East technocrats that have been engaged in the economic planning ministries of the state.


The consistent concentration of South west technocrats on the government’s role has been the flaw repeatedly. The flaw is the result of a Socialist education which needs remediation in the shortest possible time.

The souths East technocrats are generally seen as being ahead of their peers due to their capitalist tendencies. The steps taken by the Anambra state government in cutting tax and in some case removing them in their entirety stands in stark contrast to calls by Adebayo Shittu to increase data tarrif and the likes in response to the ongoing recession.

The dominance of South East technocrats in International institutions such as the world bank and the global banking industry is a testament to their capitalist orientation. And until there is a change in the orientation of south west educational system, the perception of flawed technocrats remains.

Please this is not a tribal tirade but a factual analysis of the impact of the Awolowo education.

InvestmentMMM Gives Nigerians Help For A Gloomy Christmas! by christopher123(op): 4:25pm On Dec 13, 2016
When trouble comes, it comes in many ways at the same time. Nigerians are trying to contend with recession, economic and emotional depression, then inflation, to add the already troubled Nigerians woe MMM dropped a bombshell that they will not make any form of payment this Christmas period, suspending all forms of payment to January 2016, this has made sceptics of the scheme say, we warned them . Known as Ponzi scheme globally,it has been stated that this is MMM exit strategy.




“I doubt, because the panic that will set alone will make every old and new participant dread MMM even their current Xmas bonus will not be strong to bring in new customers. I am so screwed”exclaimed Chukzy, an investor.

MMM the new money making in town has broken the hearts of most of its adherents. Called a Ponzi scheme, condemned by the Nigerian Government and banned in many other countries such as Russian (Were the owner comes from ) to China and even Zimbabwe! Lately, Nigerians have been crying when the scheme made the people that were expecting payment that they will not be able t meet up with their own obligation of payment!

Coming at this time when Nigerians need the money for Eid, Christmas and New year celebration, the MMM struck. Apart from the recession and depression that the Nigerian economy is suffering,this has made many Nigerians (about 3 million) to key into the pyramid marketing scheme, which some people call Ponzi scheme. Gullibility and low investment ,financial literacy helped the MMM scheme find a fertile ground to germinate. Most Nigerians, wanted an easy way out of impending poverty and MMM provided the leeway.

Greed, gullibility and laziness have made many Nigerians throw caution to the winds ad invest their savings. Tempting with a 30% interest rate for any investment within a month! Nigerians couldn’t resist this mouth watering offer, to cap it all, the scheme converted the downliners to the marketers.

MMM-Nigeria.net is the site and upon our investigation, it is said in some quarters that it is not affiliated with MMM Europe or anywhere!



Nigerians have been warned of the fraudulent nature of the scheme and how it crashed in other countries, but, as the proverbial fly that refused to heed to advice,Nigerians jumped into MMM with such a frenzy . Foly Kaze , An online commenter and a watcher of the scheme, has this to say

“No one is asking them not to pause Mavro GH , but they should have come clean. I saw it on their twitter that there would be Give Help(GH) pause during the Christmas and new year period. Fee days ago, the admin announced that there won’t be any pause and encourage members to participate. They enticed people with 20usd bonus. And now the story has changed.The media are going to hijack everything. I believe they are very intelligent and know what will come their way. So they choose the media and Nigerians to do the killing by themselves. We will not blame them. People will point accusing finger to the media and government while they run away” he opined.



“Do you guys think that after this pause, more people are gonna put money in the MMM scheme? FYI, if it is ever unfrozen in January, withdrawals are going to be more than deposits and that is when the system collapses. All those commenting online now are desperately looking for how to pull their funds out.MMM is dead, the burial is in January,” said M.C Jay, an

In another view, some people are optimistic that by January that the scheme will come back and trust optimism, it gives hope. An investor in the scheme, who choose not to be mentioned said”MMM has just made the best decision. I advised one of the guiders to suggest MMM should be on standby from 10th of December. Like they read my mind. Very Good!!! Before we crash this thing with our Christmas mentality.”



According to the MMM twitter page, they encouraged Nigerians to continue investing(PH ) in their scheme. But on a closer investigation, there is no physical address of the scheme in Nigeria and where their operational base is can’t be ascertained.

According to online sources, Wikipedia states that, МММ was a Russian company that perpetrated one of the world’s largest Ponzi schemes of all time, in the 1990s. By different estimates from 5 to 40 million people lost up to $10 billion. The exact figures are not known even to the founders

Jobs/VacanciesHannah & Friends Empowers Nigerian Youths With Valuable Skills by christopher123(op): 1:04pm On Aug 08, 2016
As the economy of Nigeria is evolving towards the non oil products. There need to diversify and look inwards. This is to enable Nigerians create employment in the non oil sector. With this in mind, a group of young Nigerians has come together to empower Nigerian youths with various soft skills which is various government purposes in Nigeria. Hannah,one of the organizer of this skill acquisition program has made sure that participants in this year’s skills acquisition program will always have this event to remember. It is a way of giving back to the society for little or nothing. In her words “We have decided to give back to Nigerian youths our experience which we garnered over the years for almost little or nothing. Knowledge is wealth and we have decided to pass on this knowledge to create wealth in our society.”She opined.
Tge priest phase of this will be in various states of the West of the country namely :Lagos, Ogun, Abuja, osun,ibadan,and edo state.

With the situation of the economy and the unending lies of the government about creating jobs,it is only wise not to continue waiting or believing!

Do you still work tirelessly for someone and earn little!

This was a major outcome of the interactions between the Executive Vice Chairman of the NCC, Professor Umar Garba Danbatta, when the Acting Director General of NITDA, Dr.Vincent Olagunju, and his team paid a courtesy visit to the NCC headquarters in Abuja at the weekend. Both agreed that a new era of interagency collaboration, especially within the sister ICT agencies would bring about desirable results, in line with global best practices.
The Joint committee, chaired by Dr. Agu Collins Agu, a director at NITDA, is expected to provide detailed areas of collaboration and terms of reference, which will be initialed by the two organizations in due course. Professor Danbatta said the initiative will prove to the world that sister agencies in our clime can work together in the interest of the nation., and charged the committee members to work assiduously to ensure that the objective of the collaboration is realized.
“We must concentrate on those things that we know that with the right investments and involvement of our human capital resources, we would realize things that we can show the world about the giant strides that are being made in this country, especially in the area of Information and Communications Technology”, he said.
According to Professor Danbatta, the agreement to collaborate is consistent with the mandates of the two entities to ensure pervasive penetration of ICTs.“But we have to be mindful of the fact that, the more you introduce services, the more your burden the infrastructure on ground. I hope that you (committee) will take cognizance of what you need to do to address the existing capacity of
infrastructure. What we are looking at is the progress we are steadily making by the day to ensure we reach the destination of what we call a networked society, a society that is e-driven, a
society that is ICT driven, as well as a society that will be relying on the power and leveraging on ICT to conduct all kinds of businesses”, he said. NITDA’s Acting DG, Dr. Olatunji, said that should be no
rivalry in ways that the tow organizations operate these days because it is all about common vision and common goals which are tied together for the future of our nation.“The Information Technology sub-sector, and the telecom sector, already work together now in their operations. If those of us at the helm of affairs that are driving the industry do not work together, we will not go far”, he said.
Dr. Olatunji said the disposition of the EVC of NCC, Prof Danbatta, in arriving at seting up this committee has demonstrated the quality of leadership he has brought to bear in the sector....https://etimesafrica./2016/08/08/ncc-nitda-collaborates-on-nigeras-ict-development/
