Kaycely: you are not a true son of Biafra, Biafra stand for justice not sentiment like you just did. Dino is the only Senator that faulted the Budget...he is the most vibrant among the law makers.... bro u re on ur own...stop dragging Biafra to your narrow mind Imagine you mentioning Orji Uzo...
Hear another dimented IPOB!
Dino Melaye is the most vibrant of all the Senators"!
What on earth does being 'vibrant' as a Senator, men? How has his vibrancy affected the making of good laws for Nigerians? Is it about the excessive wardrobe allowance he collects while his constituents are in poverty? Is it about how he threatened to rape the wife of another man on the floor of the Senate? Is it about his shenannigans and forgery of academic certificates
You Igbos cant just stand for anything good! It is either you are sidding with Evil and stupidity because it is done on Yorubas or you are whinning about the same Evil because it is being served to you. You stand for nothing...NOTHING.
NwaChibuzor3: This guy is a disgrace to Nigerian politics and we the people of biafra are irritated by this. When Biafra is liberated, Nigeria can enjoy the thugs they portray as leaders (fayose, dino etc) and their living corpse presido, Buhari. Even though we form the minority is this god forsaken country called Nigeria, We the great people of Biafra have always been the backbone of Nigerian politics since independence and have brought decorum to it thanks to people like Nnamdi Azikiwe, Uzor Kalu, pat utomi, okonjo iweala, chris ngige, uche chukwumerije, olu, martin elechi, theo orji, chukwuma kaduna, chike obi, ironsi and so many more i can't list because my fingers are getting sore. I've not even mention our contribution to military, economy and agriculture yet.
My grouse with you LiePOBS is that you always view ALL PROBLEMS through the lens of Biafra!
If rain falls too much, you will attribute it to not having Biafra If garri is expensive, you will say it is because they did not grant you Biafra. If 'Nepa' take light, it has to be because they did not grant you referandum on Biafra Even useless Dino Melaye gets a useless award, froma useless FCT Minister (imagine ), you still have to attribute it to Biafra!
Tolexander: This is one of the reasons why python should be invited to the dance floor in River State.
Governor Wike is too busy to provide security for his people, he ismore concerned about "Who and What" led to the booting out of that clueless, ineffective buffoon from Aso rock.
deepwater: The disadvantages of not being a politician is that you get governed by people far below your level of IQ.
Ordinarily, on a good day, i do not see a madam aishatu burahi competent enough to engage my humble self in any discuss at an intellectual level, as in woman to woman.....
Worry not about NK, SHEKAWU is not in his fathers house, he is in HIS MANSION at SAMBISA, go and and beat him there.
Ordinary rat, rat chased your husband out of his office. Come on go to the oza room, it is past 10pm in Nigeria, Jubrin needs to dig a deepWell but not DEEPWATERS, NEVER!!!
I think clients in general, should stop paying attention to all these "useless gurrantees" that Niaralanders give on behalf of other Contractors because when the chips are down, they can actually do nothing (and do nothing, they do!), for all the noise they make.
So, l wonder, why would you give such assurance to a Client A, on behalf of a Contrator B, when you know that if he absconds or does a woeful job, you dont have the power or leverage to [pick him up, lock him up or make him cough out the money he has taken? Of what use is your Gurrantee or Surety?
That is why we say "Clients must do their due dilligence". What this means is that as a Client, you must take responsibility for your actions, let your agreements be water-tight and actionable and whomsoever stands as surety for any contractor, upon which you make a financial decision, should be held responsible and they must agree to indemnify you against any loss, from the person they are suretying or guarrantying.
We should stop giving out jobs to Contractors simply because somebody said "Give it to him" because in most cases, they might just be playing the "Boy is Nice", for their own future, anticipated selfish benefit (recommendation tinz as per rebate) or just to be in the good books of the contractor for a future, return of favors.
If l start naming all those who use to surety Brabus in those days, only to turn around and start blaming him when trouble starts but failed to go the whole hog of refunding the money on his behalf?
Of what use is that surety, if you know you wont reimburse the Client who has taken a decision and made a financial commitment, based on your recommendation? WHo is fooling who here?
Would it not have been better for the Client to go into negotiation with the contractor, knowing there are "no guarrantees" (like meeting a complete stranger) and as such, he has to be very tight with his written agreement, make all payments via bank transfer and insert a "non-performance clause" in the written contract such that all he needs to do was flash such ocntract to law enforcements officers and the Contractor is toast?
This idea of jumping to dash-out useless gurrantees needs to stop unless the Gurrantor states that they should be held liable and responsible for any pfuck-up from the ContractorWe must learn to put our money where we put our mouth. Enough of the eye-service and hypocricy.
@StainlessH: It is One week today that you promised to come back and finish the job. But you did not and correct me if l am wrong, you did not contact the Client (Segzy) to explain into details, what happened again and to let him see and agree that it was due to one "Hurricane/Natural disaster" that is unavoidable!
Is that what you have become? Why collect almost 90% of the agreed fee, when you have not even started the job? What is the sense in that? Has that become the new "signal" to look for in dubious Contractors when they insist on collecting funds, even before lifting a single block or doing even 50% of the job?
Gone are the days when anyone can act on another's recommendation of a contrator and think the contractor has any form of integrity and wont want to disappoint! We have seen it happen over and over again.
Let us stop it and let each client have a water-tight, binding agreement that he/she knows can be easily enforced, even wwithout going as far as a court. Spell everything out in Black and White. That is due dilligence, from my own point of view.
LalaSnakeLala: How did she attack them? With her long nails or with her fists. I need to know the form of attacks before contributing anything to this thread.
engineerboat: As Copied-Letter Of Apology From Chaba Mark.
MY APOLOGY TO GOODLUCK JONATHAN.
Is there anyone close enough to former president Goodluck Jonathan who may be reading this post? Please tell him that one unknown quantity is seeking for his forgiveness.
I am asking for his forgiveness for the reasons I've carefully itemized below.
1. On Chibok Girls: I was among those that lampooned him for being too slow to track down the abductors of the school children. I have to apologize to him because only recently, a serving minister threatened to implicate a governor on his role in the abduction saga. I told myself wait a minute, did I hear what I just heard? And I cast my mind back to when people said that the abduction was a stage managed plot to ease him out of power. I joined others then in calling such individuals, "conspiracy theorists" and "evil people". The story is getting clearer
Dear Jonathan, in my haste or ignorance then, I couldn't ask myself these simple questions:
* how about 270 human beings could be loaded into trucks and just vanish from a city center.
*how none of the school authority could place a single phone call to the head office of any security outfit to confirm who authorized the evacuation as they said the abductors claim.
* why the principal who ought to be sacked and prosecuted for gross negligence, was elevated to the position of a commissioner shortly after. Whether it wasn't a reward for a job well executed?
Dear Jonathan, even now,
* the army has overrun Sambisa forest where the girls were said to be kept and still no trace of them is found.
* surprisingly, they are being released from "somewhere" in batches! Thank God that there are no traces of forest marks on their sleek skins. We eagerly await batch two. Hopefully, APC will secure the release of the last batch before 2019 as one major achievement for it to be voted again into power.
2. On Corruption:
Dear Jonathan, I join others to insult your government because I thought then that the people in your government were thieves. Little did I know that compared to what we see today, they were mere pickpockets. Under the watch of our current anti corruption Messiah,
* government officials use hundreds of millions of naira of IDP funds to cut grasses in the sandy sahel region.
* billions of naira and millions of dollars, raw cash, are dug out of a house in a highbrow area of Lagos. The owner of the money is unknown and the said house lacks owner and C/o.
* $25 billion contracts are currently said to be wrongfully awarded by NNPC GMD to phoney companies.
Dear Jonathan, Your former NSA, Dansuki has been held incommunicado for $2 billion. Your man's money is 2% of their man's. Even if Desiani's and other monies allegedly stolen by all those who served under your government are put together, they will not amount to 40% of what one man is currently alleged to have fingered.
In light of the above, dear Jonathan, find it in your heart to forgive me. I allowed myself to be deceived by smooth talkers and propagandists. People who hid under a hypnotic change mantra to deceive the minds of the simple. They promised to fix electric power in six months, build new refineries, pay monthly salaries to jobless graduates, feed school pupils and stamp out corruption. Who wouldn't fall for these lofty things?
But alas, since they shoved you aside, things have gotten worse in every front. Their first act was to jack fuel price up from N85 to N145. Something you tried and we gave you headache through our "occupy Nigeria" protests. We can't dare raise a single voice now. Next their ill advised economic policies caused prices of commodities to triple. They called it recession and blamed it on you.
No light, no road, no food, no security from attacks of herdsmen. The only means we use to cry out, social media, they want to shut it by draconian laws.
If we agitate, they unleash trained pythons and crocodiles on us.
In other words, you are daft, brainless and impressionable so much so that you cant make any "good Decision" on your own!
Are we now suppose to vote for Jonathan in 2019 or what is all these "apologetic trash" about?
FYI, On Cheebok Girls: - after over 2yrs of kidnapping, only an IPOB will still expect Shekau to keep the girls in Sambissa, in one group. Shakau simply split the girls into small groups and dispersed them even as far as Cameroun. - Again, was Cameroun and Chad who contributed gallantly to the fight against Boko haram, loosing their Soldiers, also part of the conspiracy with Nigeria?
On Corruption: - Are you saying that all those looters who willingly returned looted funds, were also stage-managed? - Are you saying that Mama Piss actually got an inheritance of $15Million from her grandmother who sells groundnut by the road side? - Are you saying that Mama Piss, who uses the identity of hr domestic staff to commit fruad, oepning fictitious bank accounts in their name, while operating the ATM's by herself, was created by Buhari? - Are you saying that Mama Piss actually worked to earn as much as $35Million found in one of her bank accounts? - Are you saying the likes of Olisah Metuh, FFK and many more who Billions of naira has been traced to, actually did not loot those funds? - Are you actually saying that the Billions of Dollars stolen by Dezzianni Allisson Madueke, as esposed by the U.K and American authorities (something she actually alluded to herself, when she threatened one of her accomplices by name Omokere, to "expose everything", also a fabrication of all those Governments?
On Infrastructure: -Are you saying that Jonathan constructed roads to your village or to his own village in Otuoke for that matter? Did he make available, portable water for all your family to drink, during his "locust seven years" of maladministration, despite the price of Crude Oil averaging $120/barrel and Nigeri was at its optimum output? - Are you saying Jonathan built many Power Plants, with all the humungous income Nigeria earned in his years as President or did he build a refinery so that we can stop importing finished crude oil or paying 'Cabals' fuel subsidy?
While it is considered "Mumu" to apologise when a Policeman slaps your face for doing nothing (Respects to Fela Anikulapo! ), your apology only shows the level of depravation and deliquency in "Yoots" like you.
But you know what, while l am not saying Buhari is doing fantastically well, (I am actually angry with him for not being pro-active in some corruption issues and his penchant for Nepotism as evidenced in the Babachir Lawal, Baru and lopsided federal appointments), l want you and Jonathan to put your mouth whereypur money is:
Let Jonathan contest on the platform of PDP or any othe rparty for that matter an dlet us see you "apologetic minions" vote for him asince he is the best thing to happen to your lineage, fter the creation of Bread Toaster.
Sorry to hear that. How can anyone owe money in this your line of business?
Between, you and my contractor did a marvelous work on my ceilings. I couldn't believe it when I saw the finished work. European Plasterboards rock any day. 9.5/10.
It gives me so much joy when l hear Clients speak well of a Contractor they have actually given a job to (as opposed to hear-say), in this way.
If it pleases you, can you share a picture of your Ceilings with us?
No wonder na only Third Class full labor market today. Mtschewwwwww!
I just wonder what they gain out of all these "openly seductive" gyrations?
Small time now, when deranged boyz will visit them int heir room and r@pe them, they will be crying marginalisation! Statute Trouble stand jeje, u wan go wake am. Silly girl, is that what her father snt her to school to do?
Maybe they should introduce flogging at the Universty level sef because thisis eally getting out of hand
atilla: What exactly is the offense she committed. Abi is it illegal to twerk with the statue. I hope this info is false
What she did is "morally" wrong and is a moral offense, any lady brought up froma good home will not do such in public. Ladies of nowadays seems to have lost their senses.
But the punishment she got is a 'criminal' punishment that is just too much for the offense
She should sue the insitution and get financial damages as well.
What she needs is a good Lawyer who can make good money out of this, if they dont restate her immediately.
NB: Alternative punishement cold have been to shame her in the "Assembly" and make her doo community work, like sweeping the Male Hostel every morning (or cleaning the Male Toilet) for seven days.
onedream: well, sorry to disappoint you. just like you i never believed it but from facts on ground the story seems to be true because of the following reasons 1. Alh. lai has denied even the obvious fact that the military gave free medical treatment in Rivers and Bayasia during the operation crocodile smile. if they had nothing to hide there would not have been any need for that lie.
2.The government was mean enough to send heavily armed soldiers to kill unarmed citizens in the streets of umuahia and aba and tag them IPOB
3. term "crocodile smile" suggests something mischievous....
it is quite unfortunate but that's what we now have as government
One thing we must give to you IPOB miscreants, is your STEWPIDITY and penchant for backward reasoning.
Amarabae: Nawa o, be safe pals, avoid eating bush meat, monkey meat or any wild animal meat, wash your hands whenever you return to your house after outing, this disease is not our portion IJN.
Small time now, all of you sharing Snake meat with Laaalasticlala, will start accusing the fedral govt of giving you SnakePox!
Incase you dont know, SnakePox is worse than MonkeyPox.
Your skin will just be falling-off from your bones and you will be in so much pain as if Snake don bite you.
dokwhot: The racist,divorcee Bruce Fein who can not even keep a family wants to lecture Nigerians on how to run their own country.Sounds racist to me.Needless to say,he will lose his case as he lost in his impeachment moves against Bill Clinton.
Being divorced does not mean he cant keep a family. There could be a thousand reasons he is divorced, could even mean his wife eloped with another man.
Stop displaying your ignorance on the web, your children might read it one day.
legitnow: Let me just add to all these Benin and Yoruba men, just becos u married Igbo women that have been used and leftover by Igbo men, does not give u the right to personalize our affairs or interfere in our affairs.
U only married our left-over, we did not induct u into our collective.
Igbos generally dont interfere in the affairs of their inlaw.
It is not our custom and we will not tolerate forwardness from foreigners that think marrying an Igbo woman is an express ticket to becoming Igbo or involvement in our affairs.
Let Linus Idahosa concern himself with Edo State issues, after-all Nnamdi Kanu never included Edo in Biafra.

Put an "approximate price" to it, per Square-Meter.
aariwa: Its incidents like this that make a lot of men to perform magun lacing on their wives
The truth is: Every Man/Woman has a capacity and desire for doing Evil,..... it is usually the fear of a prescribed Punishment that keeps such desires in-check.
Our fore-fathers knew this and that is why they laced their wives with Magun.
Today, if not Magun, there should be a similar method that eposes and punish married wives who bring such sham and evil into the family blood-line.
But until then, allmarried men must scretly do two things:
1.) lace their wife with Magun 2.) Do a DNA test on all your children
pocohantas: This isn't about any side though. You will be surprised how common it is in every side. There should be a punishment for this kind of deceit from women.
Agree with you absolutely on the bolded. Possibly a three year jail time if aught foisting the child of another man on your own legal husband. It is sheer Evil
Women are getting away with murder on almost everything and they dont even think it is wrong.
supersystemsnig: Lagos is doing it because of manipulation an dirty policticking. If all the states that had waters had functional ports like Apapa, and if we didn't operate a monopolistic system would Lagos come this far? Why do you think many SW elders are fighting against functional ports in other regions?
Since you say some states are doing it, kindly educate me, list a few things your brother can do better within the premise of their current allocation
You see your level of self-delusion?
You blame Lagos for your own failures! It is Lagos that is not allowing you to develop. It is Lagos that is preventing you from doing business It is Lagos that caused your Get-rich-quick, at any cost, attitude It is Lagos that is making your Ibo Governors loot your treasury It is Lagos that is responsible for you rignorance and foolishness
What else is Lagos not responsible for? Failure of Biafra, right?
coolhamid: With the way kanu talks during the pre-operation python days, I never knew that a day would come that he(kanu) would be hiding from security forces.
back2sender: How is land use act charge calculated? What are the parameters (different charges) That sums up the figure before applying the rate. Any one in the House that has experienced this or have knowledge on how it works in Lagos and else where Please help out with answers etc Dabomb, hajji Agba, segzy, aventure, Olumide etc etc
The calculation is not fixed but based on an "assesed value", which varies from place to place, depending on how 'posh' the areas is.
But below is the guiding 'general rules' which apply across board.

Commercial Property (Used by occupier for Business Purposes) – 1.75 per annum of the Assessed Property Value;
Family Compounds – Exempted from Land Use Charge.
