I just got off the phone with her friend & she told me the girl is not even missing me. That she showed her my sms & told her we are no longer together. I think that decides it for me, i'm going to flirt with a lady from her village she knows very well & even respects, she is a sister inlaw to my cousin. I know she will die of envy when she gets to know.

paddi mi, your narrative actually got me laughing. My simple advice is for you to get more realistic and serious too.

I actually don't count it against women when they make a final decision on companionship based on the assessment of the pockets/wallets of the available suitors. To be very candid, a girl is with you because you are the best she has available at that material time, period! Therefore, if someone better turns up while the both of you are still to be entangled, she promptly dumps you. No emotions at all!

However much the sacrifices you've made are, learn to walk away or demand restitution when a newer flame comes on stream. Don't plead or appeal to pity because it would only make you the more bitter.

As for starting a relationship with someone she's familiar with, ...... it won't hurt her if she's happy with the person she left you to be with, so why waste time acting childishly?

Love would never be sufficient, while considerations about beauty should count for less when planning to settle down. Just free the girl and get real!

Pa Chukwudi44, why are you always in support of corrupt criminals? You have opposed all the efforts of this government to prosecute and recover stolen assets from people who almost ruined this country with their greed. Seriously, do they pay you to do this or you just love to defend corrupt criminals?

One day, ......just one day, his career would end in the gallows of Malaysia or Vietnam.
Just indulge him, for the time being.

[size=15pt]But how do you want Nigerians to believe this story ? Do you have an insider in the camp of Bokoharam who give out info to you guys ? SMH. NIGERIA MILITARY and LIES be like [/size]

This people no go kee me! Just imagine the news sha. With this, I may not be wrong to assume that the NA has a correspondent that reports directly from Shekau Abubakar's fortress.

And if that's correct, why is he still at large? Wallahi, this people must think we are all as dumb as they are.

You won't' believe this piece of crap was the first news item on NTA network news at 9pm. I just feel sincerely sorry for Nigeria now.

Skoopy:
For every graduate of engineering, you must have gone through most of the courses I will list below, if not all. This courses are so important that it is near impossible to graduate without having a fair knowledge of them.

1) Thermodynamics : this is the study of heat and temperature in relation to energy and work. The desire to improve on the efficiency of steam engines lead to the development of this course. Terms such as enthalpy, entropy, energy and pressure will be used often in the said course. Thermodynamics have four basic laws, but this cannot be handled here.

2)FLUID MECHANICS : This has to do with the study of fluids (liquids and gases), it is divided broadly into two, FLUID STATICS and FLUID DYNAMICS. With the former taking care of fluids with no sheer stress( ie fluids at rest) and the latter handling fluids in motion. Base on flow, we have compressible and in compressible fluid whose difference lie in their rate of flow with density change. Two most common but very important theories include those of newton's on viscosity and archimedes on floatation. Applications include in aviation sector, shipping / maritime, refineries, production of breweries etc.

3) CALCULUS / ADVANCE CALCULUS : This is an extension of further mathematics, has topics like polynomial, matrices and determinant, integration and differentiation and the most feared of virtually all engineering students Laplace transformation. The application of which cannot be under -estimated.

4) DESIGN/ STRUCTURAL DESIGN/ EQUIPMENT DESIGN/ PROCESS CONTROL.

5) TECHNICAL / ENGINEERING DRAWING. Before any construction/ fabrication work is carried out, it most be properly represented on paper with dimensions.

All engineers on naira land, how many of this courses did you pass through? None engineers who love the profession are also welcome.

I searched your list for Mathematical Modelling. Chai! I don't know what relevance the course seeks to serve but it always made me sad and almost made me mad.

One absurd. course that made Okoh, (PhD) of the Uniport feel like he had the formula for operating the universe.

You are an all-round fool! Civil servant and you are writing in shorthand and barely comprehensible english.

You come here to justify a draining allowance by the fact the your bosses work late into the night for the benefit of Nigerians. Are you deranged? What good have your bosses achieved for this country since you became a civil servant?

Rather than applaud this small step to freeing up some funds, the idioot in you keeps saying the country has plenty to sustain such needless waste.

Your type should be jobless and probably despondent to think like normal people should.

Strike action by mouth action!

When we attempted to talk sense to that tactless numbskull, Wabba, and his gang of brainless executives, they thought they were Students' Union leaders. Now they've embarrassed themselves and almost brought the NLC into disrepute.

He should have waited till Wednesday next week for him and his gang to review the effectiveness of their mouth action.

Enemy of progress somebori! Imagine, quite a majority of Nigerians are now jokingly asking if there was a strike because Wanna and his party of jokers failed to read the mood of the nation.

Kudos to the Nigerian military. So disgusting that people are expressing their suspicion of the whole rescue operations.

While I have my reservations, I truly feel happy that 2 have been rescued and hopeful that a lot more shall regain their freedom so we can move our attention to other matters. Perhaps, the military authorities should as well release pictures other rescued citizens as well as dead combatants to help our unbelief.

The bible tells us that wisdom is profitable to direct.
When fools lead, the reverted institutions they preside over would be demystified and made a mockery.

Something tells me Ayuba Wabba, the president of the NLC was elected from the primary school teachers' affiliate of the Union. Those are the folks that hardly study to improve themselves but won't stop saying they are educated.

while the dunderheads in Kano would reject polio vaccination to 'spite' the federal government and later export disable persons over the country, the Niger-Delta dunderheads would wilfully breach oil facilities and later on complain about environmental degradation.
What a country!

TonyeBarcanista:
Who is saying the truth between Shekarau and Wali?

Is that hard to decipher?

Most times, a man would deny involvement in a crime that requires restitution because he isn'k bucksed up enough or because he thinks the evidence to nail him are not compelling enough.

No be Hausa man Shekarau be? Either he don't use him share acquire more wives or kpiansh ashewo or e don use am feed him personal army of almajiri.

The millions e yaff finish!

Elections are won by not necessarily the best candidates, but the popular or the most rigged. therefore, no point blaming the forward-looking of Ekiti State.

But to have reserved a place of prominence for a character like Fayose, in the PDP, betrays them as an assemblage looking at taking a decent shot at the presidency.

The rule of law only becomes applicable to a character like Fayose if it could help in restraining his tormentor.

tylerbraid:
This came from sahara reporters, all they say is "one of our sources" without mentioning any name & y'all jump to bash all because the name 'buhari' is involved. No single quote was made from buhari in this fake news. And most people are rushing to pour out hateful comments. If he said anything about devaluation, he would have addressed it to the press directly through his media officer or personally like he did on CNN. At this stage of time, anyone can come up with any news even a toddler as far as there's internet. But the inability to verify the news from right sources with quotes from those involved would continually be a problem.

People are stretched and needlessly stressed by the recalcitrance of the rulers and should express their frustrations without let or hindrance.

Were you not surprised that the PPPRA adopted 298 naira to a dollar as its upper limit, in calculating the price band for PMS, after its partial deregulation, when the prevalent parallel market rate was 315 to a dollar?

Even when it takes effect, for fear of a backlash, Prof Yemi Osinbajo, the Vice President and a Snr Pastor of the RCCG would lie that nothing of such happened.

luvinhubby:
When we told these people that Buhari is dumb.

Honestly, there is no more apt way to describe him. A man of impaired understanding so stubbornly cast in his archaic mindset and retrogressive convictions. Here's a man than constituted a transition committee to provide him a template for governance yet went ahead to ignore most useful suggestions made to him thereby plunging us into a needless trauma, after wasting our scarce resources experimenting with his weird convictions of 'I don't know what subsidy is' and 'I can't allow devaluation'.

To think that this knows next to nothing about being visionary or being creative in thinking, we can only hope that this president and rogue gang of 'economic management team' ministers do not end up making things messier for all of us.

Anyone needs evidence that PMB has nothing to offer? Events in the last 7 days is just the testament you need!

Should it come as a surprise to me? ... not sure!!

Buhari may not be writing letters to borrow money, but may be ordering from the CBN. After all, all these overseas trip aside being a junket, is also a deliberate hustle for estacodes. The ministers are learning from the President. You don't' steal money but you 'earn' them from needless overseas travels, drawing forex at official rates and changing them at the parallel market at a profit.

Who then do we request to sack this idiot of a minister? Wizards that would ask us to make sacrifices while they rob us in various coded ways.

I see danger!

One can understand if the ceiling for PMS retail, as advised by the PPRA is 145/lit. but to have arrived at such figure by adopting an ex change rate that is not the prevalent rate at the parallel market is not only mischievous, it is sinister as well as diabolical!

The import of this is that, very soon enough, the price band would be revised and the ceiling would be no less than 170 naira per litre.

Again, questions need to be asked about the calibre of critical stakeholders that agreed for the PPPRA to use an upper limit of N298 to $1 for its price band calculations. Except, of course, the CBN has agreed to provide forex to products' importers at that amount while still maintain Buhari's N199 per $ for businesses of the government.

Fellow Nigerians, make no mistakes about it, prices are yet to escalate! This is just a threshold the government has achieved, and the lies by Kachikwu and his gang is very disheartening. Nonetheless, let's accept full deregulation as the way to go and make all the necessary sacrifices.

mnairaland:
But I thought NNPC is now the importer.What has marketers got to do with it.Do they need dollars to buy from NNPC?

Before the final decision to deregulate, the NNPC and some pre-qualified oil majors were responsible for fuel importation and they got their FX from the CBN at official rates. However, when our reserves started draining very fast and the President was still insistent on maintaining official exchange rates at 197, while the CBN could not provide the FX needs of the oil importers, the NNPC progressively became the fuel importer until it was 100% responsible, which led to resurgent queues and the recurring and crippling scarcity we experienced in the recent past.

Having bowed to the dictates of commonsense and realistically estimate that our insolvent state may not improve anytime soon (I forgot to add that there is also no provision for subsidy payments in the 2016 budget), the govt has done the needful and embraced a partial deregulation.

The way it proposed now, licensed operators can access FX through the parallel market and import products while the NNPC gets its FX from the CBN at official rates. The PPRA on its part would adopt a template that factors in these two sources of financing in arriving at a price band (hence a current ceiling for 145) for which products would be sold. The DPR vets quality and ensure that consumers are not cheated through under-dispensing.

Bye and large, this has always been the way to go even if it is coming at this time. As a example, did you not feel cheated when you lost a lot of man-hours to get fuel at 250/lit and was told by Kachikwu that the FG still paid 100+ bn naira in subsidy in March?

APC made several unrealistic promises just to get power, but let forgive them and play our part. We all have a duty to resuscitate this country from its present comatose state.

kodded:


cc pat077 :




This administration is a scam. In 2012, when fuel was
about 100 dollars per barrel the then govt said fuel will b
sold for 140 naira after subsidy removal. Now, that the
price is around 40 dollars per barrel, how come the price
is now 145 naira per litter after subsidy removal.

The difference is in the exchange rates. Presently, marketers would have to source forex at the parallel market whereas then, they got forex at official rates.

It bears stating, that difference should be up to 70%.

On the merit of the cross-examination by the defense lawyer, I am inclined to agree with him that Saraki's Asset
Declaration Form at the CCB was tampered with.

If that property was acquired 3 years after the forms were submitted, through an open, transparent and maybe competitive bidding process, how do you rationally prove a case of anticipatory acquisition?

In spite of our biases, it is only right that we don't allow predetermined judgements. Consequently, the FG should lose this one to know that you don't just allege,...........it's also your duty to prove!

It has become evident now that Buhari is getting serious about governance. Like reformists, they must find the courage to administer the bitter pills this country needs to survive.

Next to be scrapped should be the conditional cash transfer of 5K to a category of people.

cktheluckyman:
One does not necessarily have to be a lawyer to know that the DPP has no case against the senate president and DSP!!! The case is as clear as water!! Where is the original copy of the 2015 senate rule? You have to first prove that forgery exists before looking for the culprit.

You should know that no matter the propriety of the charges proffered by a litigant/prosecutor, representation is always made by lawyers to both the prosecution and the defence. For me, it is not for us to judge. After all, it was reported that the DPP advised that the case should be prosecuted. Allow them embarrass themselves with their tardiness if you feel there is no case.

kcnwaigbo:
The senate clerk prepars the senate rule for the incomming senate!! The 2015 senate rule is for the 8th senate,if anyone says it was forged then you will have to prove it was forged!!! Nonsense

Having a background in science and engineering, I try as much to refrain from contributing to issues I am not versed in.

From the way and manner you've been fooling yourself trying to moderate discourse on an issue you know little about, I feel constrained to advise hyou to shut it and learn from the bulk of people more intelligent than you are.

Of course, there is something fundamentally wrong with the configuration of the DNA of your people that makes you thrive in crime, support criminal and averse to all forms of decency. Pray, just hold your peace, Mr Senator, and wait till the DPP loses this case and embarrass the FG if no forgery has been committed.

Please do not allow the allure to amass "likes" from renegades make continue to manifest dumbness as a dominant character. Just my friendly advice!

Is he proposing an alteration to the original plan and route for which funding has been secured and appropriated?

Is he also aware that the same Chinese government he asked not to grant us loans would be responsible for the project?

Fayose is just one mentally unstable man whom God has blessed with prominence. I suggest that funds should be appropriated in the 2017 budget for Fayose's rehabilitation.

That man is such a bundle of contradictions!

Don't mind Donphilopus

I never thought there would come a time I will be able to insult a Nigerian president so freely offline and online, I learnt if from the likes of him, They even insulted Jona's family , Now they are getting mad because we are insulting that presidential dullard. Karma is a bitch_, What is good for the goose is also good for the gander

Jesus, the lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world, was destined for a death on the cross, after a betrayal. However, he said "cursed be that man through whom that destiny would be fulfilled".

The safest thing to do to someone like you is to roundly ignore you the way Buhari does Ayodele Fayose. However, there's always a motivation to accept a popular deviant behavior as the way to go. In multiple lifetimes, you would never achieve the milestones Buhari has achieved yet you gloat all the time as if you are his bastard son that he declined to be responsible for.

To think that you keep fouling public space with your frustrations makes it look like you're the only one affected. Why don't' you criticize sensibly and express your frustration with unfavorable public policy occasionally. I can confirm that isn't impossible to do!

On the flip side, I understand some folks are paid to be such brainless nuisance,.......trust me if you are one of them, and I am your employer, you would have lost your job long ago!

VivianUdeogu:
my sister, I know that girl very well. She is from Anambra state. She is a disgrace to the feminine gender and a bigger disgrace to our tribe as Igbos. Sometime I use to wonder if we Igbos are cursed

Now that you know her personally, could you confirm that she's had at least two children suck those titties to justify its present fallen state?

If not, this your Aguata sister would be offering an abridged version to that guy that feels no one else but her.

Should Kachikwu want to resign,....... fine! I'd gladly accept his position both as a Deltan and a better qualified professional. I'd accept the pay and deliver better than him because I don't easily make excuses.

No doubt, it is imperative for governors to prune their workforce, but rather than adduce it to cash crunch, the FG and the governors should state it as is-the unreasonableness of labour unions to propose a minimum wage of 56K, knowing full well that the civil service is over-bloated, revenues are down and most state even find it extremely difficult to pay wages currently.

Then again, I would disagree with Okupe when he proposed an upfront salary payment of 3yrs before a civil servant that is surplus to requirement is laid off. How unintelligent that is. Just as it is done in the private sector, you would be gracious enough to pay 6 months salary in advance when laying off staff as a result of bankruptcy -because most states are actually bankrupt!

Governments have responsibility for the security and the welfare of its citizens, and if it then happens that the needs of less than 10% of the citizens (which constitutes its workforce) would inhibit it from its primary responsibility, then it has to do the needful, however painful.

I have honestly had to wonder how someone would stay on a job without salary for months, yet still commit to doing such jobs while praying/agitating to be paid piecemeal. Goes to show that quite a bunch of these fellas have no job descriptions.

No government needs to negotiate on this. Just fire them all so you can free up resources that can be deployed to the greater good of the majority!

Truth be told, nothing is guaranteed any more. The rules by which private businesses run is quite the opposite to the civil service or government companies/corporations. With the former, pragmatism is employed in the management of businesses such that it stays right to lay-off a sizable chunk of the workforce to ensure profitability.

As for your friend, only time would tell if the axe falls on him. But rather than drain his energies worrying, he should reduce his expenditure to only essential items while he work on a way forward.

GWMI:
This is great i love it.Once pdp gives its ticket to a northwest candidate, you got APC some problems.Because, with the vice president given to the South east, you have south south with them then there they equals south west votes(i.e south+south east =south west vote).the decider then comes from the north central which can easily swing to pdp with the influece of christian south check it.Pdp is on the lead here.Thanks.

The rationale for this kind of amorphous postulation?......... quite hard to fathom!

When you do your permutations, and easily assume that the voting population are zombies, who would deliver block votes like a herd, it is safe to assume you haven't learnt much.

The strength in numbers, would be decided by the performance of the current govt; zeal/apathy of the voting population to effect change and to a large extent, the integrity of the electoral process.

Buhari still has a bit of time to redeem himself and his party. Until, he fritters away this chance at redemption with his embarrassing cluelessness, insensitivity and refusal to be open to learning, let us deemphasize the effectiveness of any presidential pairings for the opposition party.
