englishmart: APC are a group of bad Machiavellians. Even if PDP wins clearly, they will cancel the election and have a rerun with over 50k armed personnels to supervise the carting away of ballot boxes by thugs. Atiku would have been sworn in since May 2019
Oga, hope all is well?
Just to help you, PDP won't be winning the presidential election in Nigeria anytime soon.
They must first return what they stole from Nigeria.
Mark my words....they are free to contest but nothing for them.
delpee: ...and the North where he comes from has the highest poverty and illiteracy rates. He should commit part of his resources to projects that will make a difference in their lives. There's so much dependence on foreign donors while our rich flaunt their wealth which is mostly rooted in undue advantage and privileged circumstances.
Of course he does his bit but a lot more needs to be done instead of simply concentrating his efforts on preserving the family wealth as he said recently.
You are obviously sparsely informed.
Perhaps, you should try and find out who leads Africa's philanthropy.
It's more like asking what God is doing while people still go hungry and die from ailments on daily basis.
Things, simply, aren't as superficial as you see and understand them.
dawnomike: I wonder where Ebonyi got all the money they spend on capital projects and they do not owe salaries... This their Governor is really performing wonders!!!
What are the bragadocious and reckless governors of the south-south region doing?
They want total resources control yet people can't see what they have done with the billions they receive monthly.
nairalee: Samson Siasia that's facing corruption charges begging for money all over radio stations said noone, not even players he brought to super eagles like Mikel has even called him to say hi.
Look at Christian Chukwu that was sick almost to death abandoned (If not for the timely intervention of Otedola)
That is why I will swear for anyone that asks a diaspora player to choose Nigeria over England.
You are not looking at it holistically.
These people worked just like the regular bankers, doctors, engineers, lawyers, tailors, carpenters, petty traders etc.
No one owes anyone anything. You must disabuse your mind of such entitlement thinking.
Even though I agree to the fact that there are people who are never grateful no matter what you do for them, I also know that what determines if people would come to your aid when in need is how you assisted in catering for and related with them when the going was good.
Subduer: You people thought that Darkness has won. But God pass man. Any terrorist or Jihadist that disturb will KNOW that the TRUE LIGHT rules this world. And Trump wants to demonstrate it.
Lol.
And why are US citizens in front of the white house protesting against going to war with Iran?
What did the House Committee on Foreign Affairs say?
Openbusiness: House Committee on Foreign Affairs, a committee of the House of Representatives, dominated by anti-Trump Democrats and an anti-Trump Speaker Nancy Pelosi that just ran the most sham one-sided single-party impeachment charade in history without a single Republican vote, and was chicken scared of the illegality she did she couldn't dare send articles of impeachment to the senate for trial. Sore losers. Trump 2020 is a sure thing. These people are the enemies from within that helps the Arab enemies outside trying to destroy America. Trump has scattered their plans so they hate him with passion. Let Iran do anyhow, they will see anyhow. Trump will bypass Congress and nothing will happen. He won't be the first president to do it and won't be the last. Bush did it, Obama did it when he sent billions of dollars in cash loaded on planes to a terrorist enemy state Iran overnight without Congressional approval, sent billions in cash to a country and government that openly chants death to America all the time, even in their Parliament. But the Republicans didn't impeach him for it. Rather they waited to take over power and they succeeded with Trump. Trump 2020, Pence 2024 - 2032, then after that Ben Carson 2033 to 2041. The Democrats have a long time left to cry
So, you allow this 'Trump sickness' follow you enter 2020?
[quote author= post=85486969]When you are in Rome, do as the Romans do.[/quote]That is nonsense.
What you said doesn't apply to people's faith.
People must be allowed to express their religious liberty.
That's why I always come hard on people who say United States this, United States that....the country isn't what we think it is. There is a whole lot of intolerance and inhumanity going on there.
In Nigeria for instance, Christians, largely, do not go to work on Sundays but Muslims are required to work on Fridays yet no one sees any imbalance about that.
Were it the other way round, we for nor hear word.
That's the reason why, as a person, I try to play down religion as much as I can, while prioritizing humanity and the unseen creator in all my dealings.
Dedetwo: Arrant nonsense!!! USA armed forces is a volunteer force. You should have joined Mexican armed forces. Or resign from your commission in USA armed forces and join the Mexican armed forces. USA is country of law and order.
Country of law and order indeed.
Yet a chunk of Africa's looted funds reside in their economy, amidst perennial gun violence, drug cartels, cyber crimes etc.
DavidEsq: oga I'm in the north and it is expensive. Abi does expensive now have another meaning?
And you think I am stuck in the South abi?
Are you saying that there isn't substantial disparity in the prices?
Don't even go there. Not just with rice, bag of beans that goes for less than N10,000 in the North is sold for almost N20,000 down South. Same applies to Onion, Tomato, Pepper, Goat, Cow etc, and up to rent and medical treatment costs.
I want to believe that the grant was for petty traders, otherwise I think that much more could have been done.
As a Business Development Strategist and Entrepreneur, I think the grant could have made more impact if it was directed strictly to market women, and perhaps artisans.
Just few days ago, I had a business meeting with the member representing my State Constituency in the House of Assembly on his invitation regarding a Youth Entrepreneurship Scheme which my firm conceived and proposed to him.
It may interest you to know that we agreed on a pilot / inaugural project and a N1million grant each for the top 5 top ideas that would emerge from the Scheme early this year, this excludes world class business training, mentorship and networking opportunities that beneficiaries stand to get.
By and large, I think that it is a good development that these programs are now spreading across the length and breadth of the country, notwithstanding the sizes of these grants. What is important, ultimately, is that these funds get to the right individuals who would be able to utilize them properly to better themselves and their immediate communities.
Meanwhile, this school feeding program is another nonsense one by the mumutious APC govt.
Billions are wasted 'feeding' pupils that have no classrooms to study in.
Why would it not be nonsense to someone who has no sense?
If you had a critical and stable mind, I am sure you would be appraising the program by the over 10million out-of-school children it has helped bring back to schools across the country, and how it is assisting to address Nigeria's infamous ranking of being the country with the largest population of malnourished children globally, among other socio-economic benefits.
MIRed: Before you come online and start insulting people, pls learn to get your facts right. This so called feeding programme, have you witnessed or seen it in the SE/SS zones...I am partially sure you've not and even if you have. What kind of food were the children given?
Have you worked with any NGO before?, I'm sire the answer to this might be No. Have you partnered with any NGO on the SDG goals...
If you have, you would know that this feeding programme is exclusively carried out most likely in the North, and mindvyou I've seen the so called food given to the children...Ice cream and biscuits... I laugh you in Swahili
This government might have good plans but there are no checks and balances, even with the so called feeding, the children who are out of school in the North triple the South...
Don't be deceived by media agenda bruv, learn first to get your facts right, there are so many things not true about the APC and their agendas...meanwhile let me stop here, on a good day I'll write on a lot of things most people are not even aware of in the south... Do you guys even know the hausa-fulanis are paid the #5,000 promised by Buhari government for elderly and unemployed... This one I heard of recent and am really being skeptical about it until I visit the Union bank in the location am in and see it with my own two eyes...
You are glaringly a very bias individual.
The only region in Nigeria that has all her states participating in the school feeding program is the SE. The SS has at least three of her states participating as well.
Please don't come here to spread falsehood. I move around the country regularly and there is no state in Nigeria I have not been to.
I have partnered with international organisations, not just NGOs. If you want the names of schools that are benefitting from the program in the SE and SS, I could give you some. I have visited quite a number of them across the country.
Will you also dispute the fact that the SE and SS have over 60,000 and 70,000 beneficiaries of the Npower programme respectively? Is it also a Hausa-Fulani project?
Similarly, the N5,000 conditional cash transfers is a national program for the poorest Nigerians. It is not for northerners alone. That is a blue lie.
Please, drop that ideology of bias as it won't profit you.
Shibaraba: Analysed the 3rd picture. The look on the robber's face..... Regret, pain and resignation. He knows he is as good as dead. In as much as he is the devil himself for delving into crime when all his mates are hustling, I'll still blame the land in which he was born. A land who never gave him a chance. Rip thief. Latest before night or tomorrow he Don meet him maker. No be Nigerian police?
When you reach heaven try contact that angel wey carry you come naija. Nack am one or two slaps. Na him make you blame.
