missyadorable:
Nice one!

Dude thought he was dealing with a Nigerian lady who would cry,beg him and fight his side chics.

Serves him very right

MightyPee:
so I was chatting with a long time friend of mine, we have been friends since 2L in the university, our friendship is 5years now. I have been asking her to date me but she has refused, giving excuses I don't think hold water.

What Do you think of her excuses?




Me? I think she was just complimenting me. our chat on Whatsapp today.

@romancelanders
this lady needs your advice

seems like hairnet is a turn off for a bobo and she can't do without it

1. If you make money in Nigeria from shows and music CDs bought by average Nigerians, don't take your wedding to Dubai where Nigerians can't come and eat Jollof. We also have a spirit head, 'Eleda' and it fights for us. You can't refuse people from reaping where they have sown without dire consequences.

2. The one who takes weed during courtship will take cocaine in marriage. The one who will be epileptic at night will begin with convulsion by day. He who smokes cigarette in public will smoke marijuana in private. Don't ignore the signs. Don't kill yourself.

3. What you won't take as a rich man or woman, don't condone it in poverty. You won't always be poor and desperate. Think.

4. Always separate business or career from pleasure. Making your undisciplined spouse your business manager always boomerangs. There is no heritage between father and son without a clearly defined delineation. Excessive familiarity is the harbinger of career contempt.

5. If you must cheat, cheat creatively. Why save a side Chic's number on your mobile phone with a suggestive name like 'edible catering' when 'Voicemail', 'Customer care', 'Subomi spare part' will do the magic? If you cannot successfully cheat without being caught by so uncreatively saving a side chic's number as edible catering, how can you successfully blackmail your spouse on instagram without blaming hackers for it?

6. Don't wash your dirty linen on social media. Divorce is best achieved in the Law court, not on instagram.

7. There is no point trying to explain yourself to those who are genuinely committed to not understanding you. Those who matter won't mind and those who mind don't matter. Reacting to a scandalous allegation does not diminish it, rather; it propagates it to the hearing of those who didn't hear it in the first instance.

8. Whatever you permit to continue in your life and marriage will continue. Abuse, cheating, overlooking personal indiscipline and unpardonable ineptitude inclusive. When people help your dreams, thank them, don't marry them. Don't appreciate brutes with your marital destiny.

9. Money is the greatest fuel for igniting the destruction of longstanding friendship and relationships. Romance without finance is an annoying nuisance. Money gives honey to marriages. Communal feast is not sweet when a participating member of the feast is not a contributory member.

10. That you made someone is no license to recklessly milk them to death. The fowl which lays eggs also feels the pain of delivery. It takes a special kind of inferior archaic insecurity to perpetually reside in the past of little beginning and habitually revel in the pettiness of tokenism.

11. Real men do not kiss and tell or shag and brag. It is foolish to reveal your bitter past to an uncouth partner in the moment of passion, for he will reveal same to the public in the quest for hurtful vengeance in the infuriating fist of rage.

12. Those who really want to die by killing themselves, do not mouth it, or announce it, they just do. Suicide is a solitary termination of one's miserable existence at the expiration of hope, not an attention-seeking dramatic announcement of death threat with the hope of rescue at the glare of public exposure. Death is a serious sturvs, it's not a joking sturvs, be serious.

13. If a man cannot successfully manage his life, it is self-hatred to commit your life, love, emotion, career and business in his incapable hands. The one who open-eyedly marries such a mess is a brave risk-taker. Worse still, the one who happily marries a rejected marital left over should prepare for a shocking leg over after the emotional hang over!

14. When you settle down rather than marry up, be ready to be let down.

15. If a man cannot successfully plan and execute his own suicide, what more proof do you need to ascertain his specialty of failure in everything?

One of the most naïve things to say concerning this Fulani terrorists menace is that the communities attacked should protect themselves. I sincerely do not mean this as a sub. If you have not lived in it, it is easy to be bewildered by how they are able to succeed.

The first religious crisis that happened in Jos, took people by surprise. When push came to shove, I know for a fact the Berom women quarried granitic rocks for the men to use to fight. I am talking aboutbreaking so much rock that your knuckles are bleeding. Unless you live in a war zone, people do not have sophisticated weaponry. If they could afford it, it is not easy to findhow to get such things that are not sold in the open market.

Plateau people initially relied on the security forces. I am not talking about the police, I am speaking about soldiers. Why not the police? Kikikiki are you a Nigerian? Have youever seen a policeman strip his uniform in a high tension situation to avoid…death?

The very first crisis started on a Friday, Soldiers were not commanded to come out till Sunday. By then, many people had died. Soldiers work with commands. Please correct me if I am wrong. A soldier cannot carry a gun, enter into the civilian populace and begin to enforce order. They are mandated to by the authorities that be.

Over time, people in Plateau state stopped trusting the security men, the soldiers. At one point, the officers where driving big cars around town and rumours said that they were being ‘settled’ to look the other way while people got killed. I recall that they were withdrawn and others came (thetask force comprising of the Navy, Airforceas well as the regular soldiers).

The towns were mostly secured. Then the attacks on Villages started. Armed Fulani herdsmen descended on villages in the middleof the night and wiped them out. This was not a 10min operation. It was a group of men taking their time out for hours burningand killing. It was rumoured that during theDogo Nahawa massacre, soldiers that were stationed not far away did not show up till the whole deed was done. In Babale, on theway to Bauchi, there was a community that was attacked and soldiers nearby claimed not to have heard or seen a whole community burn. Mind you AK 47s and grenades and even rocket propellers are used. The people stopped trusting and relyingon security forces. The governor was not the commanding officer of these security forces on ground. Mind you, Governor Jang was a Berom man, his tribesmen were the worst hit.

Now that there was no trust, how were people going to defend themselves? Mostly small time farmers and low income earners cannot arm a village. It is not a matter of “Bring three handguns and 1 grenade.” Not at all. (The men that invaded Uzo Uwani in Enugu were said to be up to 200.) The enemies were armed to the teeth with ‘jigida’ of bullets crisscrossing their bodies. Sothe communities reached out (as it is rumoured) to the ‘big’ men from their areas.It is said that some were able to raise hugesums of money to arm their villages. This also meant training. People learn how to operate these weapons.

When there was another attack in a particular area, they were repelled easily enough. That was a shock to the attackers.

So all should have been well right?

Nope. Wrong.

Security forces began to conduct ‘sweeping’exercises to ensure that people were not armed. Guess who they started with. The ‘defenders’.

Protect people, na wahala.

Allow people to protect themselves. No.

Now there are other communities that couldn't raise the money to buy weapons. Some did and recruited retired force men to help them and the men took off with their funds.

The attackers are relentless. You cannot fight them with your mouth. Unless you have degrees in special effects martial arts, I am unaware of how you can deflect bullets with machetes.

Other communities were able to hide their cache of weapons, band together vigilantes that patrol every night and keep these attackers off. Lucky them.

Now in Plateau, there was some talk aboutBerom people being the cause of the wahala with the Fulani. While it hurts to see other ethnicities facing this, in a way we have been vindicated. Governor Jang was hated and accused of using state funds to buy weaponry for his Berom people. Even if he did, was it bad? If officially, his hands were too tied to do much, I do not blame him if it is true that he did anything unofficially.

I once wrote something passionate about the killings in Berom communities, some Igbo guy said.“Good for them, na God dey pay them backfor fighting Biafra. Yeye! Let them sit downand be crying and not look for how to defend themselves.”

You do not know half of what Plateau people have seen and done. It is my prayer that you will never have to go to the distance that Plateau people went.

Are you surprised when you hear that there was a time Plateau People were so incensed by the killings that some people actually ate the flesh of the attackers caught. Because they said the people killing women and children in the dead of the night were animals. And animals are food.

This is how bad it got.

What am I saying?
It is complicated.

Admit to yourselves. We are mostly sitting ducks. If a truckload of armed men drove to your area right now, could you stay and fight? If you called the police and the soldiers and they arrived 5hours after your area has been wiped off the map, what will you do?

I do not blame state governors. When you are doing what you can and powers beyond you are carefully pulling things apart, what can you do?

You want to put together state security men and women that you can guide and control to achieve peace but politics no go gree…

Finally Buhari’s handlers are obviously afraid.

They are afraid of offending him with the truth of the brutality of his tribesmen. I am assuming he doesn’t know.

I belong to everybody and I belong to nobody is quite clear. It is like everybody and nobody are one and the same… Fulani Herdsmen of which he is one.

Interesting15:
Thanks so much sir.

Though I will still be prepared for economics in case of anything.

But if they help me change it to government, hope it won't have any negative implications?

Interesting15:
Please sir. Are you giving me the assurance that I can still write government even when they changed it to economics? Please, you don't know how I'm feeling right now. Help please

Trash..

In a move to institutionalise and strengthen the
industrialisation of Nigeria by being on the vanguard of the
true change in political will amidst the cloudy future of
Nigeria’s major export, crude oil which has continued to
plummet at an impactful low record, the common sense
advocate, Senator Ben Murray Bruce has undoubtedly brake
different frontiers by not just postulating but walking the
talk to revitalise Nigeria’s economy through the made-in-
Nigeria crusade.


Weaved into the rejuvenation of Nigeria’s economy for a
guaranteed turnaround aimed at combating the continued
weakening of the naira which is currently at the epi-centre
of the wobbling economy is the made-in-Nigeria products. The
government had in not one occasion reaffirmed its
commitment to encourage a self-sustaining country that is
tilted towards locally manufactured products than an import-
oriented economy to help strengthen the local currency and
stabilise the socio-economic landscape of Nigeria.


Keying into this policy thrust, Senator Ben Bruce has brought
to the fore different practical economic strides to forestall
the polity and a move to shore up the local industry. The auto
industry as one of the major sectors with potentials of
rescuing the nation’s economy in its current comatose
cannot be left untapped and this has made the senator to
encourage the government to patronise the locally assembled
vehicles.

The senator took delivery of the made-in-Nigeria Kia Soul,
one of the locally produced Kia model range and applauded
the commitment and determination of Kia in partnering with
the federal government to advance the country’s economy.
As one of the leading automobile brands in Nigeria with an
enviable record of offering best-in-class and top of the
segment vehicles at an affordable cost to the Nigerian
market, Kia Motors Nigeria has again reinforced its
unwavering commitment to the industrialisation of Nigerian
economy and its indelible contributions to the success of the
auto industry by investing heavily in an assembly plant. It's
state of the art technologies are arguably at par with any
renowned and international plant in the world. The plant
launched at the wake of the year 2015, prides itself on the
production of nine tropicalized and made-for-Nigeria models
with their respective trims in the country with over 2500
units rolled out since its launch.

The Chief Commercial Officer, Sandeep Malhotra alluded to
the fact that the success of the plant is premised on
Nigerian government’s favourable disposition to empowering
local industry. In his submission, he stated that Kia Motors
Nigeria remained resolute and committed to the long term
investment in the auto industry despite the short term
challenges currently faced. The plant has the capacity to
produce 27,000 vehicles annually and there is a provision to
increase the production lines depending on the demand.

The assembly line has been built to the high standard of KIA
Motors Corporation. Culminating in several months of
construction, installation of technologically advanced
equipment and the training of its staff have snowballed into
its first assembly lines that assembles Kia models, such as its
best-selling Kia Rio, Cerato, Optima, Sportage and the all-
new 2015 Kia Sorento recently unveiled globally amongst
others are all products from the plant. With the quality of
the vehicles produced locally in the company’s Lagos plant,
it’s apparently lucid that there was no compromise on the
high standard of the plant and it remains one of the best in
the country.

Lagos —The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, yesterday cancelled two centres in the ongoing matriculation examination following complaints of poor facilities provided by the centres’ administrators in Lagos.

Okorie, who is coordinating the Yaba College of Technology’s Computer Based Test (CBT) examination centre, said candidates at the two centres had been relocated to another centre nearby.
She named the affected centres as Huntview Technology Limited, No. 4, Ayanboye St., Anthony village and the New Ocean Comprehensive High School, Megida, Ayobo area, Lagos. She advised candidates in the affected centres, who were yet to sit for their examinations, to report immediately to the alternative centres provided for the examination.
“We have relocated candidates from the Huntview Technology Limited, at no. 4, Ayanboye st. Anthony, Lagos to Jkk building, ETC Nigeria Limited, 229, Ikorodu road, Ilupeju.
“Also, all candidates initially posted to the New Ocean Comprehensive High School, Megida, Ayobo, were relocated to Island Computers College, 99, Meiran road, Otapo Bus-stop, Meiran, Lagos.
“We appeal to all candidates posted to these centres to relocate to the new centres immediately.
“We have stationed officers of the Nigerian Civil Defence Corps at the cancelled centre to direct candidates to the new centres”, she said.
Okorie explained that the generator at New Ocean Comprehensive High School got burnt during the first paper on Feb. 27 and destroyed some computers and cables.
“We managed it for that day but we cannot continue because we do not want any candidate to suffer or miss the examination on account of the incident.
“Many computers are not functioning properly at the Huntview Technology Limited”, she said.
The coordinator explained that prior to the examination, she had held meeting with all the CBT centre administrators in Lagos on Feb. 19, and pleaded with them to put their facilities in proper shape.
She warned that any centre with faulty router would not be able to access the questions from the JAMB server. Okorie noted that the affected centres would not be paid because they breached the agreement.
“The sanction for any centre that failed to meet the requirements is that it will forfeit agreed payment. We pay the centres after the examination”, she further explained.

JAMB: Answers not in the options – Candidates
Meantime, some candidates of the on-going Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME, said aside the lateness in starting the examination, a bigger challenge was with the English Language paper as answers to some of the questions were not made available.
Speaking to Vanguard, Miss Basirat Jerah, whose examination center was at the Yaba College of Technology, said “the examination scheduled to commerce at 6:30am started by 8:45am as a result of server failure, but the surprising aspect was that some of the questions on English Language were wrong as the answers were not in the options given. Only God knows what would become our fate as we pray JAMB officials would consider this when marking and grading us.”
Collaborating Jerah’s claims is Miss Precious Ogunlele who also wrote the exam at Yaba College of Technology, who said “Questions 11-20 of English Language were incorrect as the answers were not on the options. We only pray and hope this would be taken into consideration so as not to negatively affect our scores.”
When contacted, the Public Relations Officer, JAMB, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, said the portion in question is the comprehension part whereby they have to fill in the gaps. He said “You know these students are in a hurry to finish and most of them don’t take their time to go through the questions. Even some candidates in one of the centers I visited pointed out that to me and I had to explain to them that in comprehension, you have to fill in the gaps. I can assure you that JAMB didn’t make any mistake when setting the questions.”

*Killings politically motivated — PDP
*Survivors say carnage rages on By Emma Ujah,

Duru MAKURDI—Benue State Police Commissioner, Paul Yakadi, yesterday, said over 5,000 cows accompanied by armed Fulani herdsmen were occupying part of Agatu local government area of the state, where about 300 lives were allegedly lost last week and 7,000 persons displaced. This came as fresh report indicated that the killing of villagers had continued unabated despite President Muhammadu Buhari’s directive that a panel of investigation into the crisis be established and announcement of the establishment of an inter-agency security team to forestall further attacks.

https://cdn1.vanguardngr.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Fulani-herdsmen2.jpg

Armed Fulani herdsmen Similarly, Benue State chapter of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, claimed the killings in Agatu by suspected Fulani herdsmen weres politically-motivated because the people of the area “overwhelmingly voted for Senator David Mark” in the last senatorial re-run election in Benue South senatorial District. Yakadi, who led a team of police officers to assess the besieged communities, confirmed that seven villages, including Okokolo, Aila, Adagbo, Akwu, Omikuidi, Ocholonya and Odugbeho had been completely deserted. He told newsmen at the Command Headquarters in Makurdi, that the invaders stormed Agatu from Naka in Gwer West local government area of Benue State, Loco and Doma in Nasarawa State.

According to him: “The worrisome renewed attack on the Agatu communities by Fulani herdsmen was as a result of the alarming influx of the herdsmen into the area through neighbouring towns of Naka in Gwer West local government area of Benue State, Loco and Doma of Nasarawa State, where cattle are made to swim across the water to Agatu. The Command, which was on an assessment tour of the area few days ago to identify areas that security needed to be beefed up, discovered Fulani herdsmen armed with sophisticated weapons with their cows numbering over 5,000. “We saw a number of houses that were either burnt or destroyed and foodstuffs from these areas were looted and some were burnt. The team also discovered that the following villages; Okokolo, Aila, Adagbo, Akwu, Omikuidi, Ocholonya and Odugbeho were deserted with no trace of persons living there while three corpses were seen in Aila and Adagbo.”

The Police Commissioner, who claimed the crisis had been brought under control, said the Police in conjunction with the state government and other sister security agencies had made conscious efforts to monitor and forestall further destruction of lives and properties in the area. Fresh killings continue Meanwhile, fresh report indicates that killing villagers in the local government has continued unabated. A survivor of the alleged killings, Mr. Ada Ojechi, told Vanguard that news of Federal and Benue State governments’ intervention made the villagers to relax and that many of those who had earlier fled Odugbeho returned to the village on Sunday.

He said, “As we speak, Odigbeho Agatu has been razed. The massacre there today had no equal because Odugbeho is one of the most important and well-populated villages in Agatu. ”Our people were caught napping because we relaxed when we heard what we considered the cheering news that the Federal Government has intervened. “Unfortunately, the Fulanis knew we had relaxed and took advantage to unleash a terrible massacre on us. As we speak, corpses litter everywhere in the village.

Killings politically-motivated Meantime, the state chairman of PDP, Dr Emmanuel Agbo, has alleged that the killings in Agatu was politically-motivated because the people of the area “overwhelmingly voted for Senator David Mark” in the last re-run senatorial election in Benue South senatorial District. Speaking at the PDP headquarters where he led members of the state executive council on a solidarity visit to the national chairman of the PDP, Dr Agbo alleged that despite the widespread killings, the government had maintained silence.

According to him: “We have witnessed massive attacks on several communities in Agatu Local government area of the state that have resulted in the loss of hundreds of lives and properties worth billions of Naira. We have reason to believe that this recent attack on the Agatu people was punishment for their resolve to vote overwhelmingly for Senator Mark.”

Responding, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff, promised that he would take up the issue with the Inspector General of Police, noting that the party would not sit by and allow its members to be intimidated and harassed. He said: “I am going to site to the inspector General of Police over the complaints that you have told me. As a party, I will do everything to ensure that our rights are not taken for granted. We will follow this issue to its logical conclusion to make sure that none of our members is intimidated and harassed.”

Opara, PDP chieftains flay president

Mixed reactions ranging from the need to face reality to assertions of unfaithfulness yesterday trailed news of President Muhammadu Buhari’s assertion of abandoning the All Progressives Congress, APC’s promise of paying out N5,000 stipends to some unemployed Nigerians.

While some as Governors Rochas Okorocha of Imo State and Tanko Almakura of Nasarawa State saw the reversal as a consequence of economic realities of the time, some leading lights in the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, as erstwhile deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Sir Austin Opara saw it as another betrayal by the APC.

President Buhari, who was away in Saudi Arabia during an interactive session with Nigerians in that country reportedly claimed that the payment of the N5,000 handouts as promised by his party during the campaigns was not his priority.

Other prominent Nigerians who spoke on the issue included former minister and member of the Board of Trustees, BoT of the PDP, Chief Ebenezer Babatope, members of the House of Representatives, former commissioner of police in Lagos State, Alhaji Abubakar Tsav, president of the Arewa Youths Consultative Forum, Alhaji Shettima Yerima, chairman of the Coalition Against Corrupt Leaders, CACOL, Mr. Debo Adeniran, President of the Campaign for Democracy, Dr Joe Odumakin among others.

Okorocha Asserting that the president was right in his new assertion, Governor Okorocha said if carried out to the letter, it might lead to marrying a harem of women as wives and increased intake of alcoholic drinks. He said “To be honest with you, it is a great idea, but there are many ways to give that support. Sometimes it could be in cash which has its negative challenges. Handling of that is also in itself a wonderful and great idea.

Al-Makura Governor Al-Makura also speaking on the issue yesterday said: “The President is the person that can tell you precisely how he is working on promises and interventions that he has created by his ingenuity. And if at any point in time the President is reviewing that issue, I think he is the only person to do that because what he is doing is in the best interest of the country.

Tanko Yakassai Elder statesman and ranking politician, Dr Tanko Yakassai, on his part, said he was not surprised at the manner in President Buhari is discarding some of his campaign promises. Yakassai in a telephone chat with Vanguard said the Buhari-led federal government was not adequately-prepared for governance. “I am not surprised because they did not plan for most of the promises they made and that is why they cannot implement them. They were not prepared for power and I have said this before, not to annoy them but to caution them on the need to go back to the drawing board,” he said.

Opara In his response, former deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Austin Opara said it was very unfortunate that the APC hoodwinked Nigerians with a negative change which could not materialize. According to him, “It is very unfortunate that Nigerian politicians won’t keep to the promises they made during electioneering campaigns and coming from the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is not only disappointing but very disgraceful”.

Tsav A retired Police Commissioner, Alhaji Abubakar Tsav said: ‘’The President has said he did not promise that. It is a wise decision to fix infrastructure instead of paying N5000 to unemployed ones. When infrastructure is fixed, people will get jobs and the nation will be better off. It does not mean reneging on campaign promise because he said he never said so.”

Odumakin President of the Campaign for Democracy, Dr Joe Okey-Odumakin said: “It is clear there is some disconnect as the president said ‘they’ promised but ‘I’ never did. What this shows is that there was no coordination in the campaign.” Odumakin, who is also president of Women Arise for Change Initiative, urged that “the president should now clarify what his own promises are so that people will not be holding on to what ‘they’ promised.”

Babatope A former Minister of Transport and a member of thePDP Board of Trustees (BoT), Chief Ebenezer Babatope, though declined to comment on the development, noted that the decision laid with the president. He said “I do not have any reaction. He (Buhari) can do whatever he wants to do. You want change, good luck to you.”

Adeniran On his part, chairman of the Coalition Against Corrupt Leaders, CACOL, Mr. Debo Adeniran said; “Campaign promises are tinkered with when the reality dawns on the political actors. Usually, they make those promises based on conjectures rather than objective assessment of the reality on the ground. Some of these decisions are far beyond their capacities to implement, that was what would have informed the reneging on that promise.

Yerima President of the Arewa Youth Consultative Forum, Alhaji Shettima Yerima, said “To me, it is an abuse on the sensibilities of Nigerians for any politician to come out publicly and make promises to Nigerians. After securing the office, such politician now reneges on their promises. ”It is uncalled for and I do not think it is right. The president must find a way and ensure that the stipend is paid.”
