MayorofLagos: The relatives of these bodies are destitute in Lagos and cannot afford the cost of transportation to ship the bodies home.

The Governors of Ibo states need to intervene and help. They must hurry up and make arrangements to receive these dead bodies at their border town in Onitsha. It is not Lagos state responsibility to cater for the remains of non-indigenes abandoned in our morgues.

We refuse to cremate or bury these mass bodies in our facilities. If no family comes forward to claim the bodies and the SE governments do not act to collect these bodies we will prepare them for the sea.

We regret that that these bodies will not get the benefit of the usual rites reserved for spouses in Iboland but out of respect we will endeavor to bottle and tag the wash water individually and send to spouses to observe the rite of drinking corpse bath-water.

You are an idiot

EbukaNri: Sorry but NOT all igbo people follow this tradition.

There is no part of igbo land, this tradition of drinking dead body water is existing. It was in the past, and not all igbo people. It was only for wicked family that may be suspecting the wife on having a hand in the death of her husband. Please be guided

AlfaSeltzer: Sorry o! did camerounian army just bomb a nigerian town?

I be following your comment. It seems your are sympathetic to Boko Haram cause. Nothing to be done against boko haram, you will not condemn. I am watching you.

Fellow nairalanders, i do not know whether any of you has noticed some of wayo mtn network is playing on us. Beware of this their extra credit they give out when you exhausted your credit and in dire need of credit you phone. They will just rip you off, as you get the credit, whether you use up the credit or not. immediately you recharge your phone, be sure of them withdrawing all the credit they give you.
I requested for 150 extra credit, but since i don't need it again, i did not use it to make any calls. But very surprise as i loaded 200, expecting them to remove the 150 and their commission of 10%, they just pack all my credit.
It is not fare at all, the way they are ripping Nigerians of their hard earned money is pathetic. I dont know whether they treat other countries they way treat us here. It is very unfortunate.
NCC should look into this matter

Some men are really suffering in silence. The first world countries are paying for it now, thats why u see a lot cases of divorce in western world. That is why i prefer the moslem world the way they handle marital issue. They understand better.

Yes op, power has been constant at Uyo now. Infact i wonder if i am dreaming, wether i am in Nigeria, the area i am staying, we are having good light

That is very true of nigerians. My personal experience is when i had pains on my leg, could u imagine my landlady advising me to go and see pastor for prayer. the one that baffle me is my md in the office i was working down asking me to see his bishop, somebody i expect to know better.
But what i did is just to see a competent pharmacy who checked my body and discovered that i had excess acid in my system. He recommende some drugs to me and i am fine. What i use to tell people is that God has given us all the miracle we want through science. All the things science are doing is not short of miracle. Pastors are capitalizing on people fear and ignorant to make themslves very rich. God help this country nigeria

Danhumprey: Education is doomed in this country.

Only education? including health. just hear our president travel to London for medical checkup.

Brother you are even lucky that you are still very young. You have a long way to go in your life. This is just a temporary setback. Be yourself, go out and get something doing, no matter how small.

Sister, what i understand here, whether sickness or not, is a Psychological problem. Bear this in mind, this world we are existing today is not the end of life. We are here for purification and atonement of sins, you can never guarantee yourself to be totally happy on this planet earth. Everybody get his/her own burden whether rich or poor, educated or illiterates, able or disable, this life is too short and very flirting to worry yourself to state of depression.
My advice is to look at the life from positive angle and know that everybody is having one garbage he/she is managing until the day you will die and start another process of life, depending on what you agreed with God and your soul to fulfill in your next life.
Bear this in mind. Thank you

Obi is really trying in education sector in anambra

This week, Animal Planet aired two fake documentaries claiming to show scientific evidence of mermaids. I say “fake documentaries” because that’s exactly what The Body Found and The New Evidence are. The “scientists” interviewed in the show are actors, and there’s a brief disclaimer during the end credits. However, the Twitter conversation surrounding the show (#Mermaids) reveals that many viewers are unaware that the show isn’t real. (Sample Tweets: “After watching the documentary #Mermaids the body found … I believe there are mermaids!!!” and “90% of the ocean is unexplored and you’re telling me #mermaids don’t exist”—which has been retweeted more than 800 times.) It is, after all, airing on a network that claims to focus on educating viewers about the natural world. “The Body Found” was rightfully described “the rotting carcass of science television,” and I was shocked to see Animal Planet air a sequel.

As a marine biologist, I can tell you unequivocally that despite millennia of humans exploring the ocean, no credible evidence of the existence of mermaids has ever been found. Some claim that manatees are the source of the legend, but you’d have to be at sea an awfully long time to think that a manatee is a beautiful woman. Sure, new species are discovered all the time, but while a new species of bird or insect is fascinating, it doesn’t mean “anything is possible,” and it is certainly not equivalent to finding a group of talking, thinking humanoids with fish tails covering half of their bodies. The confusion generated by “The Body Found” got to be so significant that the United States government issued an official statement on the matter.

When I started angrily posting about this on Facebook and Twitter, many of my nonscientist friends asked me why it matters if people believe in mermaids. It matters because the ocean is extremely important. It provides jobs for tens of millions of people and food for billions. However, many marine resources are being overexploited and mismanaged, leaving us in serious danger of losing them forever. Policy solutions can help, but if you are so ignorant about what is really happening in the ocean that you believe that there are organisms that are half human and half fish, you're almost certainly unaware of the important problems, much less how to solve them. Even if you don’t believe in mythical creatures, you may be unaware of the severity of the crises facing our oceans. Now that we’ve established that mermaids aren’t real, here are 5

I see Ifunanya or edmund winning this game. Both are smart

nora544: You work also that your Pastor can have his private jet, that he always hads full pockets with money.

In my country we pay between 1,1 % and 1,5% from our salery what we get and the pastors can live and the workers in the hurch will also get payed and our pastors teach in the schools religion and have no time to drive big cars like in nigeria.

Brother, you are misinterpreting everything, forget about the few selfish pentecostal pastors that freeze his church members. Look at the bigger picture by using the money to pay church workers and do evangelical works. which you can find more in orthodox churches. The law of nature made it that blessed are those that give. think about it

ehixking: Our experience getting jobs!!!

A telephone conversation between a NAUG official and Tolulope am a graduate of Federal University of Agriculture Makurdi Benue state. He says I have always lived in benue state in the North central part of Nigeria. As a kid I used to rear goats and sheep in grandmothers compound and always had interest in Agriculture. My grandmother died after I finished my youth service so I had to move to Osun state to live with my father. Because I was new to the environment and my father wasn't as young as he use to be and depended on me so much for his livelihood, no land to start farming and no money to dabble into something else I decided to apply for a job at FARM SUPPORT a big farm in osun state not far from the well know private school Bowen University in iwo. After applying we were called for an interview on getting there I saw big cars, trailers of all sorts and big poultry,hatchery and all sorts...I was happy at first till I started seeing the faces of the workers, screwed up as if they just got into a fight

Most were working hard,the place was quiet and all you could hear was sounds from the poultry. Trailers were moving out with loads of eggs and activity was at top gear. The interview started in no time and I was the 3th to be attended to I noticed the two other guys after the interview had terrible smiles on their faces. I entered and the interview started, in the pannel where 2 indias (or those dudes from the middle east) who could barely speak a sentence correctly In English. I managed to strain my ears to hear what they had to offer.

All the questions I was asked was contrary to anything pertaining to my CV(its was even the nigerian in the pannel that made things worse)
Here are the following questions

1)What experience do you have in poultry keeping and how many years
2)Can you drive heavy vehicles, can you drive long distance and do you have a licence
3)Will you accept an offer of 30 thousand naira per month
4)We are going to give you free accomodation a walkable distance from the farm and are you willing to work on saturdays
5)If after accepting the job you decide to leave you must give us at least 2month notice
6)Since you don't have any experience and you might decide to run away after training would you be willing to pay for the training

Funny people! Funny ideas all because our system aint working for us

I am not surprise they are indians nationality, those guys are wicked and heartless, they will use you to point of death and still pay you meager salary. our government should look at the plight of unemployed youth and do something about it. Especially those Indians personnel in this country.

blink182: do you know phcn workers are currently on strike? They went to work this morning but were returned home. Why did the government not pay everyone off before doing this.

How can phcn that has been handed over to private investors goes on strike? ThankGod for the fresh air GEJ government is giving us. Who will believe that this government will achieve this feat within this short period. Every other predecessor government were just paying lip services and the massive corruption continued in power sector, until the coming of Goodluck Ebele Jonathan.
We shall vote for him to continue the real transformation. Thank you

I cry for my country naija. If to give little money to unemployed youth as per social welfare, they kill the bill. Problem with the masses is that they are deceived by ethnic and religion sentiments.

miketonic: that's not weird and abnormal...usually Nigerian people burn, buried, or lynch the theif...lol this is rare that this one went to the police...na wa for nigerians

Nigerians has started learning the right things to do. In a civilized society, that is the normal thing.

TechyGuy: LOL! You are very naive and disillusioned. Go sample opinions from the entire SS/SE/MB/N and even SW and come back to spew this poo again. For your information, its only the blind/extremist/hypocritical ACN/CPC supporters that are behind Amaechi.

How come there is no wide protest in Rivers. I even read on a thread here that protesters are coming from the North. SMH

TechyGuy, you are always correct to your analysis. I like the way you comment on this forum, you understand Nigeria more than most people commenting here. keep it up

callydon: None of these candidates has affected people's lives more than Dr. Ifeanyi Ubah. He employs more than 3000 workers in his lagos depot alone out of which 65% are from Anambra, dis is not counting all his workers scattered all over the federation.
Dr. Ifeanyi Ubah has given scholarship to over 200 students in Anambra state. this is jst a few of wot dis man has find n he is willing to do more.
N.B: Dr. Ifeanyi Ubah is nt in ANY way related to Andy Uba n d rest of them.

when did he start answering doctor? all this na politiking, Ifeanyi Uba should face his business squary. Just that politics give money too much in Niger, every dick and harry want to be a politician

seun0622: I am quite surprised the way many folks here paints the whole picture about north Korea. FYI, nuclear weapons are acquired in order to earn respect from other nations. The use of it is always the last resort because it has far more devastating effects. I wish you people would read the history of north Korea and stop listening to CNN propaganda. North Koreans have lived with too many international sanctions for a very long time, this has made them truly independent, tho with few allies. This is a country pushed to the wall. Few months ago when they launched nuclear weapon laden Satellite into space, that action sent a warning signal to the whole world especially America. If you think the young leader of NK is joking, take a closer look at those within his cabinet, they are mostly people that worked with his late father . No country dares threaten America without an almost immediate military response but NK has done this for the last few months now but all America could do was do a test flight of their bombers over the Korean pacific. NK is not just threatening now,they have the said weapon and i m sure further provocation might make them unleash it.

How did they push to the wall? are they not architect of their own misfortune? please explain the bolded

thats a good one

what about Mkem Owoh?

Mac Oscar: Greetings to everyone. It is a notorious fact that most people on this forum are below d age of 35. Mays I humbly ask all of us to imbibe clean and unequivocal rationality when we argue by making efforts to always put d horse before d cart. We re the leaders of today,we should be involved in taking decisions that affect us. Let us always confine our arguments on the issues and objectives at stake instead attacking personalities, using abusive languages, attacking tribes or states of origin or other forms of mud slinging. Let's focus our comments, critics, commendations & condemnation to issues of governance. How has the particular administration touched the lives of the common anambrarians? What re the requisite basic amenities every responsible government shall provide its subjects? We, the masses are the core owners of these funds & resources. A true leader is a tru servant to the people, he must always at all material time be accountable to the people. He's merely a servant holding our resources in Trust. So situations can never arise whereby the people should appear to be begging to be given what rightfully belongs to them. My dear brothers n sisters, its high time we demand ferociously what we need. We need good education in conducive environments, we need standard and accessible health-care so that poor people who can't be flying to india & london can have good health, we need standard n long-lasting roads, we need jobs for our many unemployed brothers n sisters, we need power supply so that cost of manufacturing will decline which will consequently improve the value of our naira, we need leaders with vision and are poised to improve the living standard of the common wretched old folks in the villages.
Coming to the Topic of discussion, I will urge us to concentrate and analyse the various ways these leaders had touched our lives positively or negatively considering their duration in office. Let's not go personal rather let's discuss and even mention the very developments put in place so that a neutral man who had not known them or hadn't been in our state can arrive at a fair judgment.
For myself now, they re both good leaders but the quantum of leadership exhibited in the 3 yrs of Dr Ngige is far more touching n improved d peoples life than Mr Obi's 7yrs. Firstly, I recalled that he(Ngige)was denied of the monthly federal allocation as a result of his then affront with some acclaimed godfathers of anambra politics; faced with the above mentioned denial he paid off the 18months accrued unpaid pensions to our retired parents with the state's IGR. Secondly, he embarked on massive road construction which span across the whole state and till today are as strong as ever. He had his master plan for the entire state, the major economic cities- Onitsha, Nnewi, Nkpor, Awka, the agric-rich Umuleri n Aguleri and the Capital Territory in particular. Armed Robbery was reduced to its barest minimum, there was virtually security in d state then except d people fighting his govt by burning government owned agencies, teachers n workers started receiving their pays as at when due...all these without any support from the federal govt, no security vote given to him.
On the other hand, Mr Obi's administration tried but lacked sufficient attention to many areas esp security: robbers were attacking banks without fear of meeting any repression, they were even writing letters of their visits. The state came under a siege, kidnapping was introduced. The roads re so deplorable and the once getting attention are so poorly constructed, lacking the needed looks of durability. The patching around my town is virtually done with bare hand trowels by some village masons. I am being very frank with what is happening today. Prior to handing schools over to missions, the govt claimed to have equipped d schools with computers but my uncle who is a principal to one of the schools has the computers stocked in their stores...all belgium used computers and none has ever worked, the systems show no live on them. The various missions are now renovating their schools and equipping them. Much time and money is spent on media adverts. This is a govt that receives full federal allocations coupled with the shared $2Billion Dollars Excess Crude Account Money. The biggest Supermarket in Abuja, NEXT MALL, larger than d known Shoprite is owned by Mr Obi. The state brewery at Onitsha was renamed and bought over by his personal company.
Pls, may I rest my submission now and urge everyone of us to proceed on this voyage and really pinpoint key differences in these 2 administration.

You spoke well. Not only that Ngige is a pacesetter for any good governance in Anambra State

Jastombutex11: Yes 2015 will arrive bro but some gutless minds will still vote for this GEJ..... we are heading to no where if we cant make sensible use of our only right as citizen of this country to choose wisely and diligently. I just pray we don't make the same mistake again

Brother do not be annoyed, who do u think among all these politicians that are parading themselves worthy to rule Nigeria? just name one or two persons that can save Nigeria from all this rots we are experiencing every day. let me tell you, the only solution to Nigeria problem is one man to forcefully change the status qua. Even that is not easy. It will take a man of real courage and gut to savage Nigeria. we are too corrupt, from GEJ down to an orange seller in the street.

You don't seem to have been involved in that nonsense of cutting off a man's fingers, but let me make it clear that if indeed that really took place, all involved need to be locked up, the keys thrown away and forgotten for good. That sort of behavior is undoubtedly cancer of the purest quality possible, demonstrating how someone could think diarrhea has more value than 9ja. Believing is not compulsory but true story or not, I hope you know how foo.lish behavior of that sort is, yes?

Btw, why don't any of you ever take pictures? Heck, even get nta involved. They put goatmen/tubermen on tv, why not pipi-less men as well? You know, preferably one that's been verified by doctors around? Even a corpse would do, actually.

Thank you for this information. You are well informed
