They should sack the security with immediate effect..................... Security that can not secure himself will never secure other lives and property.

ebosie11: The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Ali Modu Sheriff, angrily stormed out of the venue of the party’s meeting on Saturday after he was dethroned.
A former Governor of Kaduna, Sen. Ahmed Makarfi was named as the party’s caretaker national chairman while Senator Ben Obi was named the national secretary of the party.
Chukazu: what we have these days are criminally minded artists, that would do anything to steal original ideas with no single acknowledgement to the owner.
Omowumi copied" bottom belle " song and never gave credit to the original cover and someone would come online and sing how good an art she is
Broda seriously, If somebody want to make it in Music, just go and copy all old school music and reproduce it.
I was shocked when i heard "Zebrudaya" sound track as music someone copied.
360metrosports: Minster of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola as disclosed that once the current challenges confronting the power sector are fixed, Nigeria will be able to generate 12,000 megawatts of electricity.
The minister said in spite of the challenges, the country’s power sector still possessed the capacity to advance its power generation, transmission and distribution potentials through other energy supply sources.
“There are many perspectives to do this. The country has today the capacity to generate at least 12,000 MW. If we fix all what is not working in the industry, including building any new power plant, the country would be generating close to 12,000 MW,” he said.
According to the minister, meeting that target has been difficult because out of over 140 turbines, only about half has been able to get gas to work with.
The nation’s power generating capacity, he said, reached 5,000 MW before the recent spate of vandalism of gas pipelines, adding that the industry was already heading towards another milestone prior to the recent outages as a result of the blow up at the Chevron oil platform.
Mr. Fashola said the repairs of the pipelines would soon be completed to take the industry back to about 3000 MW capacity, adding that his ministry was looking at ways to bypass and evacuate condensates, so that more gas could be supplied and the industry able to generate up to about 3,800 MW.
On crazy billing by power distribution companies to consumers, the minister advised consumers to demand electricity meters to ensure that they were paying for only what they actually consumed.
FemiFaniKayode: Why Dont We Igbos Appreciate Our Evergreen Musicians
It baffles me our we igbos have failed in celebrations of life, awards, events to appreciate the likes of
Chief Osita Osadebe Bright Chimezie ( Duke of African Music) Emeka Morocco Maduka Chief Dr. Oliver Sunday Akanite (Oliver De Coque) Oriental Brothers Chief Pericoma Okoye
I stay in far away United States and I know how much goes out of my pocket heavily every weekend just so I can sit at some bar and listen to great songs like
Its a different story back home as i rarely hear the songs of these great artist at events whenever in Nigeria compared to the South Westerners who cherish and treat the likes of King Sunny Ade and Chief Commander as Kings and gods
How many youths of nowadays can boast of turntable discs of these great artists I have personally enforced on my kids to revere, cherish, appreciate and listen to these music at home and spread the knowledge and wisdom sayings in these songs wherever they are rather than these contemporary music that only preaches sex violence and women
These artist those days were gods and mouth pieces of the gods compared to our modern day Pastors and Imams
Lets do all that we can to spread the richness of Igbo highlife and traditional Nigerian music
Rex Lawson is the best of all time.................. Flavor made fortune out of Rex Lawson Ashawo song, yet he never acknowledge him or paid any tribute to the legend. No copy right law in Nigeria.
Ekemini, the 13 year old girl pregnant girl who was rescued by Danish aid worker, Anja Ringgren Loven and her husband David Emmannuel Umem, has given birth to her baby, a boy, through Caesarean operation. Anja announced this on her facebook wall. She wrote "This morning at 10 Ekemini gave birth ( caesarean operation ) to a healty young little boy . Ekemini is the girl, only 13 years old who David and our team rescued a few weeks ago and brought to safety to our orphanage So please say Hello to the new member of our big family at DINNødhjælp/ACAEDF Childrens Home He is just so sweet and adorable and I cannot wait to hold him in my arms The operation went fine but Ekemini is a little sick and very tired. But she is with David and our team at the hospital now and they will all take good care of her and our little sweetheart Love from Anja and David.
No negative comment but if she is Hausa girl, east jungle men will spew rubbish............... I hope you people will look at mirror and judge yourselves one day.
You can not claim to be jews and children of dubious so called chuku Abiama and live in hate.
MrPolitics: Isn't this the same account jonathan left $32billion in?
Jonathan advocate. It is not excess crude oil acc. that GEJ left 30,10 (thirty ten) billions.......... Excess crude acc is the account governors shared under the supervision of NOI.
BESIDES, YOU MENTIONED GEJ LEFT 30 BILLION. CAN YOU PLEASE TELL US HOW MUCH GEJ MET IN THE ACCOUNT WHEN HE WAS SWORN IN? GEJ MET MORE THAN $72 BILLIONS WHEN HE CAME TO POWER.
wayne4loan: Phuck FG .... If nigerians can't afford 3 square mill a day , what benefit is the excess crude account to the common man ?
my guy work hard. No govt. distribute money or 3 square meals except physically challenged..................... Are you cripple or blind? Nigeria has not developed to take care of disabled like you. Hopefully by 2020, things can be done.
cramjones: While I believe that Chibok girls were kidnapped, in addition to hundreds more that the media never really focused on as the sensation that met the Chibok abduction, I have reasons to believe the girl being paraded might just be a scam to justify all the foreign aid that have been poured in for their rescue. Or a political tool to increase favorability ratings in this trying times. I hope it is real, but there are pores in this narrative to make one have some degree of doubt. Here are two reasons why I think we should all ask real and factual questions.
1. According to the official report, Amina and her colleagues were in school to sit for physics WAEC exams. She was an SS III student. The Amina that was "rescued" can cannot speak in English. She is being translated even when English is spoken to her. Do we have a Hausa version of physics? Was she really a student? Or is she simply a fake?
2. Two years ago, someone whol looks exactly like Amina was paraded by the military with a bomb strapped around her, as one of the child suicide bomber Boko Haram had sent to cause havoc. Is this just a coincidence or is that girl really Amina 2 years younger that the Amina that resurfaced two years later as a rescued girl. Kindly examine the picture and make your conclusions. What are the odds in a country of 180 million people that two girls connected with Boko Haram would look exactly alike? (Refer to the pictures)
3. Think about it, in a rescue operation of about 200 girls, is it possible that just one can be rescued at a time? I understand they maybe in splinter groups, but the army rescuing just one is very very doubtful. Amina Ali was kidnapped no doubt, but was she even a student? Was she just rescued now. Why does she look exactly like the girl kidnapped by Boko Haram that was strapped with a bomb?
There have been so many scams with Boko Haram. From a few individuals stealing 2.1billion $ to Generals carting away millions of USD in private jets, to Mama Peace becoming a Nollywood sensation on her "there is God o" mantra. I just hope that this is not another scam.
-CramJones
Argument on physics and WAEC basis make sense............... but the pics of the suicide bomber and rescued girl are not same same and you can not judge Hausa people based on English speaking. All Buhari press conference in the north are made in Hausa language.
BUT WATIN IGBOS DEY FIND FOR THIS MATTER? THEY KEEP DIGGING SHAMEFUL EXCUSES EVERYDAY.
I dont think Buhari will associate himself with the girl if not true. Besides the military that rescued her are the same military that protected Jonathan regime. Buhari hasn't recruit any soldier yet.
I hope you igbos will be happy if Hausa say the Enugu herdsmen attack are fake photos or fake story?
Saheed9: whoever directed this script should be nominated for an Oscar.
At your age, if you think Nigeria can cook such story for FBI, Chinese intelligence, Russian intelligence, Israeli Mossad that agreed and confirm the chibok story, then you are the most miserable goat from Aba or where you come from.
Wake up and educate yourself and your folks about global intelligence..... You people are filled will bigotry and ignorance.
What has innocent girls done to deserve the negative comments from igbos? This is very shameful for a whole tribe. WATIN DIS INNOCENT GIRLS DO UNA? ARE THEY BUHARI'S CHILDREN? WHY CAN'T YOU IGBOS EXCLUDE THESE GIRLS FROM YOUR BUHARI BIGOTRY FOR CHRIST SAKE?
cocoduck: That is what I am saying, will the zoo become America or even the next Brazil because Igbo people especially Nnamdi Kanu died? not in the next trillion years. Useless slave camp.
cocoduck: every thing for you is igbo this, igbo that, shebi na the zoo called nigeria, make in come progress now make we see, Nigeria will continue to be a laughing stock and a butt of jokes for the entire planet
Check the names and moniker of the people talking trash. They are all igbos. what a shameless tribe.
Enugu herdsmen attack is all lies. Igbos killed themselves and fake the stories..................... Nigerians are smart to play igbos their own cards. Giving them their own medicine to taste.
cocoduck: every thing for you is igbo this, igbo that, shebi na the zoo called nigeria, make in come progress now make we see, Nigeria will continue to be a laughing stock and a butt of jokes for the entire planet
How? have you ever wonder why international community dont care about how many Igbo ipobs dead and why Kanu should remain in jail?
ANSWER: Because you people are not making sense. you people are bigots.............................. You people have damaged your reputation before the international community.
Now foreign countries, have started differentiating Nigerians from Igbos. Now they all know the criminals and lunatics in Nigeria from from Igbo tribe. I HAVE WITNESSED WHEN OTHER NIGERIANS ARE BEEN SEPARATED FROM IGBOS.
International communities are laughing at your igbos, that is why they dont care how many igbos die or how many years Kanu should remain in jail.
Ndlistic: This is very interesting. Even me can't believe this lies. Well these are some people's views. This chibok girls of thing is getting serious. God help us in this country.
The headline should be Igbos crying for chibok girl rescue not Nigerians................................... Igbos should stop embarrassing their tribe with hatred and social media nonsense.
This is not the igbos we use to know................. Igbos are pathetic now. I hope the story wont change when "herdsmen" rape and kidnap igbo girl?. Yeye tribe.
[Metuh was rushed to hospital last night. It is serious. He is managing high blood pressure, diabetes and arthritis[/quote]Only one person dey manage 3 sickness? ......... This is a symptom of heart failure + kidney failure + liver failure. Why is it that PDP members have been seriously sick since they lost election.
TonyeBarcanista: Mister man please don't insult me. I don't depend on free govt/IOC/community handout. I have NEVER benefited.
Bro. i dont believe you. All those PDP youth movement things i see you carry for head, are they free of charge? Your twitter page is more of PDP colors than twitter page of modu sheriff PDP chairman. How come?
You are not a civil servant and you dont have a shop. How do you make a living if not thru political settlement?.
BeeBeeOoh: Had it been it was a PDP governor that bought a christmas tree for N600m, hell would have let lose. APC would have wrote so many long epistle of how PDP is synonymous to corruption & siphoning public funds but, since it was the order way round; IT WAS SWEPT UNDER THE CARPET.
I pity Imo Indigenes, Okorocha RochASS is SHAM & SCAM
Rochas is one of the governors that will go exile after 2019................ I hope he make the right choice of country to go. Europe don kast and Donald trump is coming to checkmate America side.
Deadlytruth: The Edo youths who prefer uptown (abroad), did you hear that they go abroad to sit idly over there and wait for governments there to give them free moneys? Whoever decides to go uptown is even more hardworking than an average Nigerian because uptown work is very demanding and less paying ad therefore not meant for lazy people. Check all businesses and corporate enterprises in Nigeria and then mention just one which Edos don't have their fair share in. Edos were the first to realize that nigeria does reward hardwork and thus decided to trip uptown even through Sahara Desert en route to Spain. Which lazy people take such extraordinary risk?
You misunderstood my comment..... Thats my region, i was born in Benin, Bendel State, and i live in abroad. We don't believe in Govt. hand out.............. Other tribes including Edo that dont wait for govt. are great people.
I was trying to tell OP that Ijaws are lazy..... It is difficult to locate Ijaw youths in abroad and it is also difficult to locate a shop or business in Nigeria owned by an Ijaw youth.
TonyeBarcanista: I am not from Bayelsa state, but as a proud Ijaw son from Rivers state, I find the remarks credited to HE Gov Seriake Dickson where he termed the good people of Bayelsa state, and by extension Ijaw people as lazy. This subject is trending on social media platforms including twitter and palmchat, and I feel slighted.
Is Seriake Dickson aware that he only indicted himself and his unfortunate government by that comment, and not Bayelsa people?
A Brief History Please permit me to take us down history lane for a moment.
The Ijaw people are predominantly fishermen. Our fathers and mothers would go to the rivers to catch fish and trade for a living. In fact, we never depend on any handouts from any group, whether the white British or government. Even when palm oil was one of the main source of revenue, our people never abandoned fishing.
However, when oil was discovered in commercial quantity in Oloibiri, Bayelsa state and upon exploration by Oil Companies, our people started losing their predominant fishing occupation due to land acquisition, pollution and water pollution. It became so bad that our young men started to take to oil bunkering to erk living. All these happened because Government at ALL levels and oil companies abandoned our land and people. This reckless abandon even contributed to the first ever secession group in post independent Nigeria, the Niger Delta Republic led by Major Isaac Adaka Boro in 1966.
I believe we would have stuck to our fishing if our waters weren't polluted or if oil wasn't discovered in our land.
Sadly, the government at all level despite the loss of our natural occupation refused to empower our people and retrain our youths. The FG setup intervention Agency like OMAPADEC/NDDC but the agency have not met expectation despite the huge funds they get.
Oil Companies would rather bribe local chiefs and thugs instead of employing and empowering youths. State government and local politicians like Mr Seriake Dickson would rather arm youths to win election and settle them with appointment/allowing them freehand to perpetrate criminality instead of working to emancipate the youths.
They have instilled a kind of psyche that thuggery pays and for the fact that an hungry man is naturally desperate, he would lazy to expect free meal.
An Indictment On Dickson Pray tell what has Dickson done for Bayelsa state to uplift them intellectually? Does Bayelsa have any functioning state Orientation Agency?
Ex-Gov Alamesiegha not only introduce scholarship to encourage thousands bayelsans to get the best education abroad, he also paid the scholars stipends, and increased the bursary of those in higher institution to the envy of non Bayelsans. This he did in addition to establishing the state university. What can be said of Seriake Dickson?
How do you empower people in absence of education? How do you expect people not to be lazy without proper skill acquisition? Our people are very good swimmers but has the BYSG ever deem it fit to sponsor Ijaws to be professional swimmers like the Australians?
Who gave out guns during the last election in Bayelsa state?
What Does He Expect From Bayelsans? They incapacitated Bayelsans of their God giving fishing occupation, they refused to empower the community and the youths, they refused to train them with skill acquisition, they even refused to provide environment. Instead they empower thugs and even elevate their thugs to government position. In addition, The local politicians, monarchs and Oil Companies together deliberately cheat the people.
What do we expect from such a people?
Dickson and his cohorts should be grateful that Bayelsans have not taken to criminality, armed robbery and ritual killing.
The only crime of the good people of Bayelsa state is that they are not well orientated like their Yoruba and Igbo neighbours. Even at that, it remains the fault of the government at all level.
Bayelsans are not lazy, Ijaws are not lazy. Bayelsans are only victims of maladministration and faulty political system. Dickson should leave Bayelsans off his failed leadership.
Long Live Ijaw Nation!!!!! Long Live Niger Delta!!!! Long Live Bayelsa State!!!
PS: God Bless The Lady that promised me Tecno L8.
May God Bless Us All and Bless Nigeria
It is a known fact that Ijaws are lazy. 1. How many of ijaws own shop or Business compare to other minority tribes? 2. How many Ijaws are registered owners of oil rig at their backyard? 3. How many Ijaws can survive without govt. help? 4. How many Ijaws struggling for a living in abroad? excluding the ones studying abroad.
5. Ijaw youths believes in militancy to be rich while the Edo youths believe in uptown. (abroad) 6. Igbos youths believes in business ventures while Ijaw youths believes in igbesu and destruction.
7. more than 2/3 of the population of Ijaw youths including Tony Barcanista are on govt. payroll for doing nothing. 8. Name one heavy-weight prominent Ijaw man apart from Jonathan and Alamieyeseigha?
9. IJAWS STARTED KIDNAPPING IN NIGERIA . 10. IJAWS INVENTED "JOB TRADE" IN NIGERIA. they prefer to sell their job opportunities than being employed.
WITH THESE AND OTHER POINTS, I HOPE I AM ABLE TO CONVINCE YOU THAT IJAWS ARE FANTASTICALLY LAZY.
abeeceebee: See How My Sister Was Bartered By Her Husband
A man did this to his wife all because she disallowed him to have intercourse with her. I don't usually post on nairaland but I enjoy reading the contents of nairaland forum, and that is why I felt it is the right place to bring this.
1. Why your sister dey refuse her husband? If na you woman dey reject, you go like am? 2. The man can not just start beating her because of sexx. She must have said something or done something negative. 3. Your sister telling you that her husband beat her because of sexx is a careless talk and you have a careless ear to listen to trash. 4. You suppose to ask her: watin you do? ............. She is using the word sexx to paint her husband bad image and take advantage of the situation. She is not 38% innocent. SEXX WAS PART OF THE PROBLEM AGREED. BUT SHE AND YOU ARE CAPITALIZING ON THAT WORD TO SHAME THE HUSBAND AND MAKE HIM LOOK IRRESPONSIBLE.
