When you have fraudsters as governors yet to see a governor that would say that God told him not to go for a second term

Modsenemy:
Oil is a curse to Nigeria , hence , the downfall of every other sector.

I hope you have watched the footage of the heavily leaking roof at newly renovated Abuja airport .

These days we don't have business planes , we have private jets owned by the pas...rs

Barely one week ago, I told a friend the exact words" oil a curse " for Nigeria and he goes blabbing without deep thinking.

If I were the president of this country, my first assignment would be to put an indefinite embargo on everything that has to do with oil exploration so that we can look inward and harness our human capital

NORWAY has more that 1 trillion dollars of sovereign wealth fund most from oil that it does not even touch talk less of spending, because they have learnt to build their economy without oil proceeds... Year in year out, the most "livable" countries in the world have always come from the SCANDINAVIAN NATIONS AND NOT FROM THE OIL RICH ARAB NATIONS..
and we don't even have upto a billion of our own savings

Every single budget is "premised" on oil meaning without it we can't think

That is where you have law and order unlike in Nigeria
Google does a lot of manipulative behavior an nobody questions them especially in Africa

Why should they make it impossible for someone to delete their "follow come" APPS?

grandstar:
Easier said than done.

Money is now scarce with collapse in monthly allocations from the Federal Government due to the massive reduction in crude oil prices.

Also, I'm sure Amaechi borrowed heavily. This will limit the present government ability to borrow.

You are giving them a reason to fail
The problem is not money but creative management of it

Which governor has been able to reduce his "retinue" of over bloated cabinet?

Which one has agreed to cut down on "dubious security vote?"

grandstar:
And Amaechi was busy building very expensive schools rather than simply refurbishing old school. That would have been the economically prudent thing to do.

Let him continue where Ameachi stopped

I don't want to see his face, instead let us see solution to the problem

This is before the flatinoes plant the seed of discord through that one sided coup.. ..

Flattinoes, give them accommodation, and they will try to take 3 spoon of milk daily. ......

and since then you have been "drinking garri without sugar?"... Ndi Ara everywhere

Everything keeps increasing yet no commensurate increase in minimum wage

Omotayor123:
She deserves the treatment. She allowed herself to be sexually harassed.

I'm sure her "Tips" must have been offensive.

Am not understanding.. Is there any law that states a woman must wear bra?

When you see a lie you know for sure... She couldn't have said such a thing..

StOla:
Why didn't Azikiwe resume in the Western Region as a leader of opposition? Atleast he still had his single seat he won and his party was now holding minority seats when compared to the majority seat that Awolowo and his independents alliance held?

Because he only wanted to lead and not follow. So he ran back to the Eastern region and usurped Dr Eyo Ita as the Premier of that region. All of a sudden, Azikiwe remembered he had a village in the East, yet he wanted to be a Western Premier, when the North had a Northerner and the East had Eyo Ita an Easterner. Or could Awolowo have ran to the East to contest for Eastern Premier if he had failed in his Western bid like Azikiwe quickly retraced his steps?

A man who having schooled in the US and not UK like Awolowo, did not understand parliamentary system of government. He foolishly chose to partner with the Northern NPC to become ceremonial president as opposed to being executive Prime Minister in an NCNC and AG alliance. The same American education would not allow Azikiwe to agree to Awolowo's demand to have a secession clause in the constitution. America had fought a civil war to keep it's territory intact between the slave owning South and the emancipated North Yankees. While a parliamentary Britain had managed to settle for Irish separation from the UK.
In the end, it is his people that suffered for his political ignorance, and ended up fighting a civil war like the Southern Americans and lost like them.

But seriously, how can a tremendously educated Western Region have an Easterner who was only the first generation of educated Igbos as Premier? Even the poorly educated North had a Northerner. What did Azikiwe who was a Lagos politician know about the yearnings and aspirations of the Western Region?

In retrospect, Awolowo proved to be a blessing to the Western region and scored many firsts in Africa, that the rest of Nigeria had to play catch-up.

Abeg, cry me a river.

The Nigerian politics of the time and even now to an extent has always been between the north west and east.. Because the north tended to vote as a block, but East and West were largely divided such that we never had one "south" as the case should be.

That in mind, if you are a leader in the East and wanted to form a power sharing government, your most reasonable option would be a NORTH /EAST merger.. going for an NCNC/AG arrangement who have meant that two regions from the same southern Nigeria was in power thereby leaving the north, that would create a political instability in the country AND ZIK been a nationalist would not be a party to such.

**shaking my head**













I have nothing to say..... just
guys watch it!! HOES ERRYWHERE

If a man expressed himself that way, we called him "a macho " man but a woman does the same we call them "hoes"?

I remember how MTN snatched the program away from AIRTEL... Now things are falling apart really fast

Xsem:
Any need for the link?

Yes, quite a lot

My uncle gave me the book to keep for him, been a book warm I read up every thing before had it back..

It's arguably the most Insightful book written on religion without biased, that is if read without atom of prejudice

Michelle55:
hmmmm... lovely. after all he landed the woman in that condition,so he should gladly share it with her.. this is what I call balanced equation!!!

... And the woman enjoyed it while it lasted and would gladly ask for more after nine months

ZarZar:
Isn't the character portraying the same "personality" & deeds based on whatever "historical facts" written in the Bible? What you seem to be forgetting is, Christianity is a western ideology brought to us (Africa) by white people. In other words, it's THEIR story, not ours. So the depiction of Jesus on TV or in pictures, is the correct one, because they're the narrators, not us. It's the same with every other religion- Krishna is an Indian because he's a god of Indians. Therefore, there's nothing wrong with saying Jesus is the white man we see in pictures etc, because after all, Christianity is a white man's belief, brought to us by them. End of.

I get your point but you are not thinking in this direction...

LET'S take Indian and Krishna.. Because of the age and time that The progenitor himself (Krishna) lived, it was easier for someone to take note of his image and thereafter project it to their faithfuls

But Christ was a different case scenario because during his life time there was nothing like cameras that would have taken his exact image

And the beauty of that is whoever is going to believe him would do so without a "preconceived" ideas and made up images which ultimately robs one knowing the God in spirit and in truth

If Buhari's message was meant for Muslims then he should have addressed them in Arabic

Xsem:
Religion can save you,so you can't without uncertainty make such a statement. Although in the end God might not ask you about your religion but religion helps a lot.

Such an illusion of grandeur

I would like to implore you to read a particular book without any atom of prejudice

It's called "THE CHURCH OF OUR FATHERS"

ZarZar:
TV Jesus & all the other portrayals of Jesus, show him spotting a beard. Stop asking me the obvious.

TV Jesus?
When does a" TV character " becomes a symbol and measure of Jesus's personality in appearance and deeds?

That is tantamount to idolatry..

Can we ask a Ghanaian? :-

Xsem:
Shut the Bleep up Mrs. What is with you and Catholics? Why do you keep so much malice for a church doing the work of God. I think you are insane and can't accept the reality that Catholic,is the largest with over 3billion members while your Pentecost church is a made up of miniscule numbers of people. Do you even know the origin of Pentecostal churches? I pity you because most Christian religion are offshoot of the Catholic Church. Catholic Church is the most genuine and most organized religion ever. Just close your eyes and kiss the truth.

Most organized religion?
Who has ever been saved by religion?

ZarZar:
Yaaas! Jesus also belonged to the beard gang Also, I've noticed that most (if not all) cult leaders have beards. So I'm guessing it really does help give the person a commanding presence.

"Am not understanding "
Where did you see Jesus with beard?

Now it's obvious the police gives out too much information to the media... This guy was reading every plan the police was making

And why on earth should you parade them?... You called them "suspected" and you want to parade them?

diablos:

Alariwo2:
if Atiku should contest under pdp, the entire SE will rush to the polls to vote for him. They will abandon their biafra struggle and start rally for him. Whereas this same guy can't win half of the North

Igbos ronu.. stop committing political blunder all the time

stop talking thrash.. the same way Tinubu pushed his candidacy under ACN and Yoruba folks voted for him ...so they were gullible and committing political suicide as well..nonsense!

Obasanjo ,Atiku and Buhari embezzled our money and using farming to deceive Nigerians

the MOD Is so intoxicated with Tonto that he has to a double post?

and someone says we don't need restructuring

can't wait to see Formula 1.. my number one favorite sports in naija

What happening to the debt they owe capital oil?

logica:
Well, there is a history behind it. That the most qualified security personnel did not happen by chance; the historic events which started with the 1966 coup and culminated in the Nigerian Civil War are well documented. So questioning the reason behind why no Igbo are suitably qualified is moot.

... And we say never again
