But can we see their faces at least

The moment they catch innocent citizens, the first they do to parade them on national television as criminals without trials and conviction

NobleAngell:
Nice photos. His kids are still this little? Wonderful!

Young for where?

These are his retirement benefits, obviously he has more than one wife, so these ones are from his second or third wife... So they have older siblings

These guys need rehabilitation not imprisonment

Send them to Defense industry company of Nigeria(DICON) which was originally meant to manufacture arms but currently can only manufacture salt and furniture
What they need is reorientation

LionDeLeo:
Is that not a cobra?

If the snake actually bit him, dude should seek medical attention without further delay because snake bite itself doesn't kill, what actually kills is the venom and cobra is one of the most poisonous snakes.

Snake is one of the animals I still wonder why science still allows to be in existence. Rather than hunting for preys in the bush, these deadly reptiles keep crawling their ways into human living quarters and some people will be talking about preservation of wildlife, wtf.

The venoms are actually used for treatment of many diseases

as in no vacancies in Beijing and Shanghai?

tuscani:
Nice, stupid lier Muhammed said it was Senegalese that is better

But Senegal did not participate.. That means they are the grand patron

Deeper Life all the way!

The closest I have been to DEEPER LIFE was been made an EXCO menber in a school fellowship been ran by the church.

How can I forget the MONTHLY LEADERSHIP TRAINING PROGRAM (L.T.P)
whenever I entered the hall of the program, the only thing you want to do is to #PRAY;I mean the ambiance and the atmosphere alone would compel you to pray
... With the amazing song...
"you will fill my heart today, to overflowing, as the lord commanded me...
Bring my vessels not a few....
You will fill my heart today, to overflowing..
With the HOLY GHOST AND POWER!"

I learnt that song in DEEPER LIFE, and is still evergreen in my heart

God bless the Tribe of DEEPER LIFE!

friday2011:
I grew up living with my dads immediate younger sister who happens to be a member of The Apostolic faith Church (a.k.a ijo elekun) back then in ilorin at agbo oba road, with headquarters at Anthony village, lagos.

what a church, I was well groomed with d world of God, very very spiritual that we see other denominations as unbelievers.

We no dey watch tv, no earrings for females, no drugs, no hospital, we no dey dance for church, men no dey keep beards, no offering except tithe, if you dey pray and u no cry join, usher go tap you, (to tell you that you are just playing) up till today, I never sabi dance as d church affect me reach, upon say I don dey attend winners ever since I relocated to lagos at the age of 14, am 33 now.

But I missed their musical concert well well.

their HIGHER WAY MAGAZINE is the best Christian journal for me

This is what you get when some delusional folks think they are the only candidates for Heaven...

Direct your questions to Gabriel Osu of Catholic secretariat TBS

ZombieTAMER:
And many of the occupants voted buhari and the APC.... Smh

Cockroach don chop your brain finish

Alphacom:
I think Generation is the main thing. How will you transmit and distribute what u don"t have.

Have you heard that some DISCOs are rejecting power allotted to them?

Yes.. Better than some Senators

ajoguegbe:
Just compare with Biafra so fine. If Biafra is achieved, its flag will be one of the finest brand in the world of flags. Something designed 50yrs ago still looking modern and catchy. If you like this flag click like


Meanwhile you can now order Biafran flag, Tshirt, cap etc. Send mail to info@eloquentgift.com

I must say am not yet in support of Biafra, but I cherish the flag

kettykings:
Every thing about this country lacks a touch of creativity , See very funny drawing and colour arrnagement sha

But the thing even looks better than the current, uninspiring, unimaginative, unattractive green and white flag

Recently Nigerian flag was voted the worst flag among committee of nations

NOETHNICITY:
whatis wrong with these ibo chaps? is it by force to be tagged southesterner? why do u soooooooo badly want these pple (southsouth) along with u? why not let SS be the ones doing the attachee-by-means? ur desperation betrays ur motive.

Obviously you can't read, let alone comprehend.

Just that we live in a nation of miss rule and miss trust.. Ordinarily I don't see the reason for any fuss about inviting someone to give account of his stewardship.

even Tony Blair has been invited by the British Parliamentarians to explain his role in the Iraq War
But due to our antecedent as a nation, where decisions are made based on sentiments; I mean no body has ever invited ABDUSALAM ABUBARKA TO explain how he squandered 10 billion Dollars external reserve just to conduct general election, nobody has invited IBB to explain the waste of Gulf oil windfall, nobody has invited T.Y DAJUMA on how he acquired the most lucrative oil assets when his father is not an Ijaw man, who has invited OBASANJO to explain the total waste of billions of dollars on our power generation that only got worse

So why invite JONATHAN?.. To do what naa, let us continue the game until we get tired of the system

What pains me most is when a senseless GOWON be gallivanting up and down in the south and telling people to pray for Nigeria's problems After creating the problem himself

aolawale025:
Those are the issues a proper restructuring would address. An okun is ethnically yoruba but he is classified as a northerner. So he's neither here nor there in terms of benefits.

Good position.
But I also think that there are some states that have become the "central confluence and symbols of our diversity" like DELTA, KOGI AND RIVERS STATE, the beauty and uniqueness of them lie in the multiple ethnic groups which has become more like "RAINBOW STATES"
the best shouldn't be in carving out the different groups but in allowing some "cross fertilization" of cultures, traditions and some autonomy

jejemanito:
Which Asaba is in South East

May the spirit of attachment fall off you

If you did geography then you know that DELTA and most Southern states are actually the real South East...

what we refer to as South East is actually "east central" but because Gowon has
succeeded through divide and rule--in putting you people brain on "perpetual Coma" so waking up seems like blues

Saying you are not south east, is like rejecting your biological name because of hatred you harbor for your neighbor..

I don't get it.. You have your house they Have theirs,
You have your food, they have theirs
You have your husband, they have theirs..

So what really creates "the avenue" for such gossips and backstabbing, are you people sharing Indomie or you are sharing husband?

mrnigerdelta:
u never talked about resources

I don't know the resources you meant, but if it is natural resources that we are used to, I did say that we should focus on harnessing our abundant human resources and forget about oil for time been.

Our greatest resources is not oil, but people

policy12:
Bros I guess u don't read my stuff with clear mind and if u do u are have a pregenerated mindset about what u belief. I think I put it in my write up 20 children can't play for 20 years so we can all go our separate ways. We mustn't stay together forever please. I will the least to opposite any division and that is the reason I said in my first write up that we shu conduct a referendum, so those who want one Nigeria can maintain it and those who want to go should go in peace, this is my point.

And Croatia u mentioned I just google about their economy and this is what I found the link below will help u.

http://www.heritage.org/index/country/croatia

Well I read the link, those standards are measured in comparison with European union standards which sometimes are very high for any country outside the Western European block to meet

Davido has such a terrible voice, been a fuji musician who have been a better deal for him

Going by the recent clamoring from different parts of the country for a complete restructuring of the country, I have always wondered what exactly we hope to achieve by such exercise?

With due respect to the opinions of all, I hereby propose a way forward.

POLITICAL REALIGNMENT
Our over bloated political system is totally none sustainable, we must as a matter of urgency scrap the current system of the NATIONAL ASSEMBLY ;it's of no benefit to an average Nigerian going by the budget we spend on each member of the assembly,the nation of Senegal just disengaged it Legislature and we certainly can do better

A) lawmaking should be voluntary, anybody that cannot volunteer to make law without been paid is not worthy.. Currently Nigerian lawmakers are the highest paid in the world
The present system is too lopsided and unjust, I mean a situation where two states from the North have more house of representatives members than the entire South East region can not stand

B) talk about been worthy... How do we justify individuals (Our legislatures) who have never been to law school, making laws for trained lawyers((the judiciary) to interpret

PRESIDENCY
We must devolve power from the executive to the states or regions as the case may be
,
Our presidency should be largely ceremonial
.

A) out of the six geo-poilitcal zones, let's experiment with a single president ably assisted by" five vice presidents "from the five remaining geo-political zones to address the constant cry of marginalization, I mean each region in Nigeria can stand alone as an independent nation, so why don't we give everyone a say and a sense of belonging?

B) the current" four years of two terms " is way too much, why don't we do a" five years "single term for our political office holders ?
Anybody that cannot make an impact within five years tenure is already a failure so why dash someone eight years to waste

INEC :
Our major problem as it relates to elections lies with INEC.
to have a competent and credible elections,firstly we must make politics totally unattractive... Have always imagined what would happen if we tell all our politicians to go ahead and become president, governors, Senators, local government chairman; without collecting salaries, how many of them would still come and tell us they want to serve
therefor their interest lies in what they are gaining

INEC must have the option for independent candidates, I mean if someone is required to pay as much as 5 million Naira to buy a party form for gubernatorial election, how do we expect such individual not to steal and recover his money

A) politicians should have the least pay of all public office holders

B) our politicians should have no access or power over the treasury

C) once it approaches time for elections; every political office holder, from president to local government chairman should resign from office three months to election date and a caretaker interim leaders be appointed to serve for the period of election so as to avoid the "power of incumbency" which has bedeviled our polity, that is how it is presently done in Sri Lanka

* MINISTERIAL CONDUCT
No public officials, especially ministers should be allowed to send their wards abroad for studies (they will be forced to modernize education system)

No public officials be allowed to use generator as alternative power source (no choice but to make our epileptic power work)

No official be allowed to get treatment abroad regardless of the illness

* ECONOMY

Stop every exploration of crude oil and focus on human capital development.. Invest in ICT, the nation of Isreal is making more than Twenty billion dollars annually from technology driven start-ups, second only to the Silicone Valley in the US while the likes of oil rich Saudi Arabia is struggling to restructure it economy due to heavy drop in crude oil prices

We need to build at least one Mega City for each geo-political zone; that was the initial plan between world Bank and federal government, which obviously started with Lagos but currently no one knows what happened to Ibadan, Enugu and Kano that were supposed to commence after Lagos
That is the only way we can address over dependence on Lagos with unbearable "rural urban" drift
With the rate of wide economic gap between the North and the South, am actually scared we don't become like North Korean /South Korea example.. The South has built and modernized it economy but the North Koreans have become a constant terror treat, always threatening the South with missile and Even Nuclear weapons, it already happening with BOKO HARAM ...

So for our economic managers, it behooves on them to implement an all inclusive, all in compassing economic policy so that Lagos doesn't become a center of excellence while the rest of the nation wallow in poverty

RAILWAY TRANSPORTATION
Total overhaul of our Railway system, with speed train instead of the Locomotive train currently on ground, I mean someone should be able to live in Ibadan and be coming to work in Lagos on board a train that would spend nothing more than 1hr/30 minutes to two hours

* INDUSTRY
Every Geo-political zone should have a FREE TRADE EXPORT PROCESSING ZONE that is not based on politics but purely on comparative advantage, to avoid the type of "AJAOKUTA EXPERIENCE"

* POWER GENERATION :

The concept of "national grid" should be totally expunged from our system
Every state should set a target of nothing less than 1, 000 MEGA WATTS of electricity generation, within a five years meticulous planning- starting with yearly 200MEGA WATTS, with that in less than ten years we have more than 30, 000, MEGA WATTS from 36 states... This is no rocket science naa

Abeg let them have the Biafra we all know when Sudan started there case btw north and south sudan , while the whole world see North Sudan has the architect of their woes, the UN made a resolution and a new country was created since then the south Sudan has never known peace, from one crises to another..I wish this request can be granted and everybody goes their separate ways.

All this people shouting separation I know very sure won't keep their family in the separate regions if we eventually divide rather they will put their family in abroad, in a safe place and leave those without means to champion the revolution.

Naija why can't we borrow a leave from Rwanda , let have a referendum and bare our grievances ,then make a resolution for the way forward those who want one naija should stay with strict and adherences to law and those who don't want to stay should go their way after all 20 Children can't play for 20years.

You can only see the case and scenario of NORTH AND SOUTH SUDAN but you will never see the case of YUGOSLAVIA AND CROATIA where Croatia has become a more advanced nation?
Because you have trained your mind to only see the negative

Absolutely right... This days, guys grow up thinking a lady must cook to be a good wife and brothers can't even boil water

Most men with such mentality end up turning their wives to "house helps and nannies"

Yet to see a law that mandates women to be the sole cook in the house

always rushing(like Russians) to claim people who don't give a dam about been Nigerian
Those real Nigerians who are dying in their droves over Sahara desert, dying on top Mediterranean trying going to Italy, nobody claiming them?

Akim Bello Osagie.. keeps running companies aground I thought he would run to His friend IBB for help this time around?

nazablossom:
cute family. The guy don become celebrity. At least it's for something good not being detective of fake gucci et al

I don't think you know Nathaniel Bassey before.. I don't think been celebrity is any big deal for him, I mean this is someone that would have been a bigger act if he had remained in his previous trade, which was classical secular music

The issue is that this guy paid his due probably more than any gospel artist I can think of, he was a the lead Trumpeter to late Steve Rhodes, who had the biggest classical music genre in Africa

tbaba1234:
Nope, it is largely dependent on gas supply. It is a myth that rainfall affects power supply.

Let's wait and then

tbaba1234:
Nigerian power supply is not dependent on rain..

Yes! You are right, it's "dependent on God"

Power belongs to God After all..
