It's obvious CR7 was the difference between success and failure at Madrid. There is nothing special about Zidane

She resemble East African

The useless governor in Abia is building bridge that would Link Abia to heaven from Osisioma, so it's taken him 8years to complete

The same broom that was used to flog Peter Obi is been utilized on Obiano

Smart guys at APGA , they can see that Obiano is in final lap of his administration, and they don't need him anymore

Seriously, so Sowore is the Chairman and also the presidential candidate of the party?

Corruption seems to be fully entrenched in every aspect our lives as a nation, so much that those who we think are new breeds are actually worse.

It was the same scenario with Victor Umeh who was APGA chairman and still contesting political posts.

A party chairman should be a political" Midwife" not a political jobber.

How can you guarantee transparency in such?

BeautifulMind2:
Inland waterways are secondary channels and are dependent on the international routes to operate. This is because inland ports and waterways have certain inherent limitations that prevent ocean-going vessels from passing or berthing at the ports. For instance, inland ports are usually bordered by bridges that make it impossible for big vessels to pass or berth.And with a draught of between 2.5 and 3.0 metres, inland waterways cannot accommodate big vessels that move on minimum draft of 8.5 metres. Consequently, mother vessels entering the country must first trans-load to smaller vessels which then will convey the goods through the inland channels to the river ports. The standard procedure is that mother vessels that are designed for a draught of between 8.5 and 10.5 metres ferry goods into the country and thereafter transfer the goods to barges, which in turn trans-load to smaller boats that can move on inland waterways and berth in inland ports.

Too much Gramma, you seem to be telling us why something can not be done rather than why it should be done.

Ever heard of the SUEZ CANAL In Egypt? It's a "man made Port" that has more economical importance than Lagos Sea port, see FG's inability to build a functional port in the East is all about tribalism and politics...any other story is fairytale

So why do you think some banks go under?
What happened to Lehman Bros? Barings? ACB? Etc.?!

I was referring to those banks in particular, I didn't indicate that.
Lehman brothers had nothing to do with shareholders fund , but accounting fraud...if that is your reference there's not a single Nigerian Bank not involved in accounting fraud, that includes First Bank where Sanusi was CEO.
HOW in the world can you convince one that banks with Northern interest like Bank of the North and Unity bank had better balance sheet than likes of Oceanic, Intercontinental and Afribank?

Most of those bank were in a worse state when Soludo came on board as CBN governor but he chose a different approach unlike Sanusi who just created unnecessary panic in the whole system

9jaRealist:
You think the CBN just took the banks and sold them?! SMH

These banks were so indebted that their shareholder funds had effectively been ENTIRELY WIPED OUT! The banks had to be re-capitalized by (1) the CBN injecting billions into them (and effectively becoming their shareholders), (2) the NDIC paying billions to their depositors, and (3) AMCON buying trillions of their bad loans. The banks were NOT sold for a "pittance" but selling them enabled CBN to recoup some public funds.

Oga there is no bank whose shareholders can not rescue

dominique:
And he made you run your bank to the ground too.

Nothing like running bank to the ground...the entire episode was politically motivated.

If those banks were really run aground why didn't Sanusi remove the CEOs and ask the shareholders to inject funds instead of outrightly selling huge Banks for pittance?

Remove Messi Barcelona is just Ikorodu MFM... nothing special. He made difference at Camp Nou even when Liverpool dorminated and was simply worthless at Anfield.

emmasege:
Osun has 8 universities
1. Obafemi Awolowo University
2. Osun State University
3. Bowen University
4. Adeleke University
5. Redeemer University
6. Fountain University
7. Oduduwa University
8. Joseph Ayo Babalola University

Afe babalola should be in Ekiti not Osun

amuwo1980:
Ogun state not imo

I think they are referring to state owned high institution


By the way Imo deserves more Universities as they churn of the highest number of graduates

Imoh555:
Do you know that In Nigeria, once the man stops calling, some relationship will just die a natural death?? I really just want to know why ladies always wants the man to do almost everything but they don't want to do or contribute anything yet they clamour for equal rights and feminism (let's not talk about that today) ever hear a lady say help me do so and so thing and guys will rush to do it..

But try telling a lady to help you carry your bag, you will hear something like do you want to kill me don't you know I'm a lady? My question is that is it appointed for men to suffer and always do the hard stuffs while ladies relax and get everything done for them and always be at the receiving end? I am very equal in my relationship we either split bills or work on projects together I don't have time to be worshiping any woman, Jesus died for everyone and not just for women alone that men should always be paying for their sins by living life for the ladies..

I was chyking one babe last December and I noticed she hardly ever calls even if I send airtime she liked me no doubt and was giving it to me hot, so I decided not to call for a week to see if she was gonna call and I ignored her whatsapp massages na so we take dey silent since February till now..

She called last night to ask if everything was OK and why I don't call and I asked her if she knew the phone works both ways...

Ladies please some of you should upgrade. A relationship is a 50/50 thing. For me I pay for our outings today you pay tomorrow or we contribute money and do whatever chills we want, you call I call, you text I text, you buy me gifts I reciprocate. Someone said I'm too strict that she can't date me I just told her I'm not strict that I just don't entertain mediocrity and I'm too tall to be bowing down to worship a woman who contributes absolutely nothing to my life.......

Make una no mind my rant,na bread and avocado wey I eat dey sweet me.... But let's learn to practice equality....if I have all it takes I'll provide for my woman but she just has to reciprocate in her own little way just to show me she cares too... Hope I made small sense

Guy be considerate , habah!
Should know that women are always at the " receiving end"
They like to receive calls...
They like to receive attention...
They like to receive alert...
They like to receive Airtime
They like to receive Sparm

... finally they carry Belle and "church agbasaa!"

This crook of a Governor called Ikpeazu was bragging of readiness to pay minimum wage during campaign for elections,now election is over he's no where to be found and yet making life unbearable

He will keep sending people to represent him at every function till one day he will send Goat to represent him

Nigeria custom steals billions every single days, the ones they can't steal they declare as revenue remittance at the expense of hard suffering NIGERIAN businesses and can't even secure our Boarders

What is annoying most is that Buhari's second four years tenure has not even started, Nigerians are already feeling the mess in arrears.... next level mumu!

whyteteeth:
I have been trying to apply for scholarships so i can do my Msc outside the country but I just realized my class of degree isn't really working in my favor. Well I made a good 2.2(3.32) in my first degree largely due to many reasons ranging from lack of motivation(i didn't study the course of my dream), some financial setbacks and the attitude of our lecturers towards the students. I opted for a Pgd sometime last year because I needed to switch to another discipline. By God's grace I have finished and I did very well; I made 12As and 2Bs of out the 14 courses I offered during the course of the program.

Recently, I started searching for scholarships so I can travel overseas for my masters degree but all the scholarships I am seeing place a 2.1 as a minimum Scholarship requirement for eligibility in obtaining such scholarships. for instance the common wealth scholarship, NLNG scholarship etc. I am wondering why this is so because i feel people who didn't make up to such class of degree should be given opportunity to further their education. I mean its not like its a do or die affair for everyone to make a first class or a 2.1. A 2.2 is also a result. To begin with some persons like me didn't end up with a 2.2 because they aren't intelligent but many factors beyond their control could have been responsible for that. I am really depressed. I think they should lift the bar and give everyone equal opportunity. We all can make a change despite our class of degree. Afterall the most motivated and talented people are not always the ones with first class and 2.1.

I believe I have what it takes intellectually to succeed in my chosen field of study if i am given the opportunity.

Are you on Twitter ? DM me for dozens of scholarship offer

The scammer we have in Abia was boasting of readiness to pay new minimum wage during campaign for elections but suddenly he has gone quiet

It must be an opposition candidate , useless government of persecution

Simplep:
Maybe she meant white women,because in this part of the world,men are the biggest cheat,the funny and annoying thing is that some women have now accepted it as a normalcy, they don't care anymore if their spouses sleep with thousands of girls,as long as they are the 'main' chick or 'wife'..what a life

Wake a up!

JasonScoolari:



Please, where is Babatunde Fashola the Mistake?

Professor Chinedu Nebo is far better than the loud mouth Fashola.

Take nothing away from him when he was the governor, he was very okay, BUT as the minister of power, he is a big mistake.

Nothing so special about him been the governor of Lagos where he can amasse enough resources to meet few cosmetic developmental target and return the remaining loot to his god father, TINUBU.

If he can be a Governor of Zamfara and Borno state with his giant strides then we can affirm his dexterity...till then he's just a "flash in the pan"

The reason they are dying for Naija men

iammo:


I feel like knocking that your empty head. Abi is it slap that would treat you brain rashes.

Imagine a concoted whatsapp message that could have been written by a 12years old boy, and you an agbaya is sharing it about. Lol

Mumu... that is exactly how they have programmed your fish brain to accept every garbage from tinubu, so long he keeps your daily bread

This is your Kingsman speaking the truth...

Yinka Odumakin bombs APC leader Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Says he is 80 years old, A serial forger with multiple identities and a shady past

Portrait of The Tiger Ambode Rode (4) By Yinka Odumakin
March 19, 2019

Dear Chief Tinubu,

The backpage of your The Nation of Tuesday 12 March where one of your Rottweilers under the FORGED name “Segun Ibirogba” wrote “Odumakin’s anxiety over vanishing feeding-bottles” has un-paused the button on this serial.

I have always wondered why these intellectual almajiris around you always attack me under fake names.It is either they are afraid of me or they don’t believe in you to risk their names doing the dirty job for you .

Well,we know many of them hold worst views about you than us but for the free money they have been accustomed to from a Robbin Hood.

The piece referenced was a rehash of same old silly lies and freshly minted ones.In keeping faith with my resolve that for every dart of lie you guys throw in my direction ,I will return 10 bombs of truth I make this response.And for every line I write,I can say like Fela Anikulapo-Kuti “Na true I wan talk again o,if I dey lie o,make Edumare punish me o”.

Since you guys made a failed attempt to impugn my integrity ,I have chosen to use this edition to place your life side-by-side mine on the scale of integrity so we can know if your hen can point at the boil in a hawk’s eye.I intend to show that were it not that Nigeria has become Ceaser’s palace where the leper holds the veil,nobody in your circle should move near that subject.

I am Yinka Odumakin and nobody can say he had known me under any identity in my life .I have led a straight life unlike you that people know under different identities depending on where they met you in your about 80 years on earth .Yes,80!

Those of us who are knowledgeable about you cant buy your 66 claim for so many reasons .The current governor of Osun is the son of your immediate senior sister from Iragbiji and he is 63 while you are claiming 66. Your first wife died in Lagos recently unannounced at 74.

When the son she had for you died many moths earlier his age had to be doctored to fit into the lie that you live. And there is a photograph of yours at the palace of Soun Ogbomoso in 1974 when the current monarch was installed with a bottle of beer and packet of cigarette in your front. You mean you were 20 when you were drinking and smoking in a palace?

There is no school I have attended in my life that my classmates would not come out in droves to say “yeah, we were there together!”. From St Augustine Primary School, Ondo to CAC Grammar School, Edunabon and Oduduwa College Ile -Ife down to Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile -Ife and University of Ghana.

At your end, St John Primary School Aroloya you claimed may be created by your new governor in Lagos. The old boys of Government College Ibadan were planning a reception for you when someone asked which set you belonged to. There has been no answer to that till date and the reception was cancelled. The tales by moonlight on Chigago State University and University of Chicago are all over the place.

My parents are alive in Osun and by God’s grace I will give them a befitting burial. I will not have to send emissaries to bury them since I have not abandoned “moomi” (that’s how we Oyo people in Osun call mummy) to be calling another woman “maami” in Lagos to fit a life of lie and greed. No Mama HID Awolowo would have told me that she knew all the children of “maami ” and that I was not one of them.

My parents are not rich but I am proud of them because it is from their black pot that my white palp has come out. I say proudly among my University mates today that they could not afford more than N60 per month for me throughout my University days .The story of grass to grace is a proud thing among the Yoruba. MKO Abiola was proud of the story that he ate egg for the first time in his life in the home of Simbiat Abiola’s parents.

With the modest means of my parents, they instilled so much values in me that there is no crime attached to my name in all my years on earth. Forging traveling passports had never appealed to me. Neither has my name been linked to a narcotic ring leading to inquiry and forfeiture of assets. All my life, my hands have provided for me. And they have provided for you too.

I recall when you returned from exile in 1998 and running for governor. You were not “Ezeego” then. You had only the Sunday Adigun house and all the four cars you used then belonged to Mr Ganiyu Solomon. There were a lot of printings being done for you by your friends at The News. I saw the price you were being offered and I told you my press could do it at 40%. I delivered and saved you 60%. I recall Mr Babafemi Ojodu complained openly that they could not do the price I offered you !

That should tell you and your attack dogs that I have always separated the cause I believe in from what I would eat unlike you who always mix the two. You pose as a June 12 hero today but Kola Abiola is alive to tell the story of what happened to MKO’s money as Bashorun is no longer alive. In 20 years, there is hardly any boundary between Lagos treasury and your private pockets. Your “O to ge” moment is coming some day and all the dirty deals will be out.

Like a rapist, you can tell your victims to shout “O to pe” for as long as stolen funds and drug money rule Lagos politics.

I have noticed that because you and your followers have no abiding principle and you are driven by only lust for money, you assume it is so for everybody. Your being glued to the lowest of all spirits (money) makes it difficult for you to make the right judgement about people thinking they are all about money. Was it that you didn’t have money when I told you in December 2006 that it was over between us politically? Have I ever looked in your direction ever? There are men who may not be able to give N10,000 to a cause but if they say they want to see me at 8AM I would be there at 7. Can you summon me with all your bullion vans?

I recall how you said to me in 2006 about Senator Tokunbo Afikuyomi and I quote you “Adiye ni Tokunbo, yin agbado fun a pada” (Tokunbo is a fowl, throw corns and it is U-turn). Has he not turned his back at you today? You don’t have “corns ” again? This was the man who was your fall guy when you made all the forgeries in 1999. He was among the team that went to bury your biological mother in Iragbiji when you could not show your face, has his exit not shown you there are men who place value on principle than money?

I have lived my political life on the basis of the fact that an adversary today can be an ally tomorrow and vice versa. I am not beholden to any person outside the core beliefs we share. One of the men I had an open disagreement with was President Obasanjo and when we reconciled it was an open thing. That differentiates me from you who walk both sides of the streets simultaneously. You were with NADECO and also in bed with Abacha through whom you forged friendship with the Chagourys who are your business partners till date.

The political buffoons around you would hold you out as an anti-third term person today but you know what happened between us on May 2, 2006. We had a meeting at Airport Hotel in Lagos where you were dictating the communique against third term unknown to participants you were at a meeting till wee hours of that morning to work third term in another way.

I was reading the communique to the press when you called me. I gave the phone to the late Rev Tunji Adebiyi but you told him you wanted to speak with me. We didn’t get to talk till late in the night. I had with me in the car as you spoke with me from VGC to Ikeja then President of Egbe Omo Yoruba in North America, Mr Odusanya. Let me quote you verbatim:

“I hope you have not released that communique. We need to manage this third term carefully. Obasanjo is a blind cat. If he causes problem now and they kill one Yoruba graduate in Kano and we kill 200 people selling onions in mile 12 it is not equal. I am therefore proposing that we have a win-win situation. Instead of outright third term we can have the confab recommendation of one six-year tenure starting with the incumbent having 2 extra years and so with we the governors. We can use the two years to empower people like you and handover to one of you. I have asked General Alani Akinrinade to come and I am going to meet Prof Soyinka to discuss it. I want you to think about it”

I told you as a matter of fact that the proposition was unreasonable and there was nothing for me to think about as I would prefer outright third term where we would have elections to automatic two years extension. But my eyes were opened to how unreliable you are that night. Here was a man dictating communique against third term in the morning having this conversation with me at night.

I made up my mind on you that night. The conversation I had with you minutes after Funso Williams was killed and the way you handled your your succession made me to severe political links with you within six months

Anyone looking where to visit and relax with loads of fun should simply visit your ancestral village.

There is no better place than one's village except you are one of those who claim Lagos and have never been to their village

Just seeing your love ones in the village, the peace , serenity and pure Love can cure you of any "City madness" .

Only in the village you see someone you don't know from Adam greet you with so much reverence...in place like Lagos if a stranger greets you on the Road you would turn back to check if he's a mad man before you answer... because nobody send you, you can live in typical Compound for years and your next door neighbor doesn't even know your name...Strangers!

Talk the one you sabi oga, and not.bulsheet.

Senators salary is 750k and allowances are multiplicit, some are bi annual, some are annual. Only Revenue Mobilisation, Allocation and Fiscal Commission fixes salary of political class and not mrs tinubu.

Mrs Remi isnt in a place to.protest as saraki never.gives her the floor since Dino's immature outburst.

If people like gbajabiamila didnt protest about padding you prolly wont have had of it.

Your igbo obsession with tinubu is funny, Tinubu stoped holding public office since 2007 and PDP investigated and prosecuted him with the CCT acquiting him on any corruption allegation, and the man moved on to business owning stakes in oil and gas, media and tax consultancy. Which makes him billions yearly and to which he duly pays taxes. So what law stops bullet proof bullion vans from entering his private residence? The you see the content inside the van? Or just another rich man envy

Cockroach don eat your Brain!
See the one I Sabi below

iammo:
Was she heading the apporpration commitee or is she a senate leader?

And she was a member, tell us when she ever protested?

The Nigerian Senators earn the highest of any Senate in the world, and TINUBU's wife Oluremi too follow them de collect, has she ever rejected her share of the largess ?

Has Gbajamila ever protested of Budget padding ?

The Budgets padding originates from the ministries and department, did Buhari ever prosecute one minister?

Same Tinubu that steals with "Bullion vans" is giving us tutoring on budget due process and your brain can't just fathom the hypocrizy?
You folks

iammo:


Para mode. as if they didn't pad budget and suspended Abdumimin jibrin to cover up.

Dogara would raise his hands till it hurts and speaker gbajabiamila wont pick him to talk at the 9th assembly.

And TINUBU's wife Oluremi joyfully participated ?

And she was a member, tell us when she ever protested?

The Nigerian Senators earn the highest of any Senate in the world, and TINUBU's wife Oluremi too follow them de collect, has she ever rejected her share of the largess ?

Has Gbajamila ever protested of Budget padding ?

The Budgets padding originates from the ministries and department, did Buhari ever prosecute one minister?

Same Tinubu that steals with "Bullion vans" is giving us tutoring on budget due process and your brain can't just fathom the hypocrizy?
You folks

Am yet to see a Governor who refused to go for a second term

4koff:
Don't mind the goat. CAF carried out MRI scan on the kids. Players from Tanzania, Cameroon and others failed the test. Not one Nigerian player failed the test. unpatroitic goats everywhere.

But it must be said that MRI scan is not 100 percent accurate, it gives an approximate figure not exact thing

contigiency:
She did well. Everybody in the country that time had every reason to protest. And it's still the accumulated ills of that time that buhari is working hard with his team to resolve . I don't think they are saying that they don't want criticism but Just that Nigerians should give them more time, because it is always easier to destroy than to fix or repair.

What ill exactly when we had it better under previous government ?

What ill when the current government has borrowed more money in 3years more than PDP borrowed in 16 years combined?

Talk of ill and your brain got frozen so you actually forgot Buhari was part of the ill when he overthrew a civilian government and destroyed our economy as military Junta ?

What useless Time should we give him , why didn't you give Jonathan time?

Your likes just come online to post trash to defend a hopeless government without thinking through

Hypocrite that she's , why is she not protesting against Buhari and his useless government apart from making chicken noise over Twitter?

Because his tribe's man is the vice president , she and likes of Femi Kuti are no longer doing activism?

Imo has not led anything, Abia is always on top in southeast when it comes to education performance.

Who talking about south East?

Imo churns out the highest number of graduates in the entire country while Anambra had best results pre University exams per say before you start mentioning Abia
