Abeg leave this poor man to enjoy his marriage, is it not Nigerian culture/attitude to anhilate the poor? as a poor man no girl will even look your side even some family members will disown you. I don't blame this guy one bit he's only 22 and can still afford to use another 10 years to live with this old woman before she expire finally. 

oga, abeg shun jooh. If na 22yr old woman marry 68yr old man, na your type go make the thread enter 27 pages dey refer to the girl as a gold-digger. Please call a spade a spade. Why can't you condemn this nauseating attitude? Is a 22yr old not too young to marry(using the nigerian lifecyle)? Those who are hustling, are they fools? Abeg no support am jooh.

Guys like this makes me sad. That is why our girls will continue to abuse us. Does it mean that the only way for that dude to 'make it' is to have sugar mummies/marry his rich grandmother?

It takes someone with something of an empty head to demonstrate against subsidies and still expect to receive the full benefits of the money that would have been saved.

2 + 2 = 4, it can never be 11. Comprende?

Reason: I'm a dwarf and I'm not ready 2 have my children inherit my height if there is a possibility they can b tall. I can't date a man who is taller than me but short by normal standard,he must b tall on average basis at least, but truth is it's not dat important 2 every female as it is 2 me

I'ld soak my thick sweater and a jean in water by 10pm, take a 2hr nap till 12am. When i wake up, i'ld brush my teeth, take a bath, wear the soaked cloth(if your body can't withstand pneumonia, don't wear the cloth oh. Others will work) and turn on the fan. Sleep don disappear be that.

^^ sure. It's possible. You should complete it in a space of 1 - 2wks though it would be better if you arrive earlier 'cause the crowd will be much due to You freshers excitement.

Pls Kadata,abt d WAEC Result,i hv my 2008 Statement of Result n Testimonal signed & Stamped by d Principal,but i dont hv d original cert with me,is it ok 4 d screening? thanks

sure, they will accept it. They will ask you for the certificate in your 200/300L

There is no increment. In 2009, i paid N37,350(comp. Sci.). Hope you are referring to freshers? I believe the recently introduced foundation course programme is the answer to this.

Also be aware that late registration starts on the 27th. Freshers might be pardoned though. Also school fees will be inflated a bit. Team SUG and management are still discussing

@denitro:Lol, I guess d guy playing d reggae music must be a civil servant.

can you please help me? I'm in search of an i.t. firm for my siwes programme. Can you please link me up? I'ld be grateful

Mine was due to frequent s[b]e[/b]x. Bleeped her as if i made a covenant with sex. Got to a point that i only viewed her as a s3x object. Knew, deep inside my heart, that breakup was the only way to release her from my insanity. Stil close friends though

Lefulefu, your student aint doing badly.

@op, tell him to go shoeless. At least, that's a positive indication that he will later become Nigeria's president. Doubt me? Ask GEJ. I rest my case

Op, you are my brother jooh. Our girls are on point only that those born and bred there are silly(and the guys are damn lazy). How biz nah? Shey u dey aks? Oga, make ur money there jooh. Dat place na real virgin land.

Baby kel(girl), eiln(eh), jou(you) see, i jave(have) been seeing jou(you) aroung(around) and i tdin(think) i daik(like) jou(you). I wan jou(you) to be my keeelfren(girlfriend) . . . Wtf! You think you like me?

No doubt, males will always try to their mothers but let your mum know that extra marital affairs will be inevitable in your life should you marry who you do not love. I rest my case

[color=#419419]@op, let me imagine you just finished you 6th semester(ie through with your 3rd academic year) the only way you can make a 1st class is :
- your degree programme is 10 semester(ie 5 years) oriented.
- you must make an accumulated gpa of atleast 4.91 in the remaining 4 semesters.
You get my point? I don't believe in impossibility so if you think you can make it, expel the girl from your life asap. I'm a living witness. Just one semester brutally murdered my 1st class dream(now, i have to settle for a 2'1).[/color]

The Chairman of the Presidential Task Team on Pension, Mr. Abdulrasheed Maina, yesterday said a pension fraud cartel was swindling the Federal Government of about N3.3billion monthly before the team was put in place.

He said after verification by his team, the pension rates being paid by the government reduced from N5billion to N1.7billion.

He said the N28billion police pension fund found in an account will be returned to the Budget Office.

Maina, who spoke at a meeting with the Acting Chairman of the Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), Ekpo Nta, said the team has recovered N151billion embezzled funds and assets from corrupt civil servants, especially those in charge of the Pension Office.

He said a civil servant, who was involved in the pension racket, had 555 accounts.

“A figure of 258,000 pensioners was submitted to the Budget Office by the ‘cartel’ in the Pension Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation for which N5 billion was usually released monthly.

“But out of the N5 billion, the task force discovered that the government only needed N1.7 billion out of N5billion to pay the 70,657 genuine pensioners.

“The government is only paying N1.7billion to pensioners instead of the hitherto N5billion. Obviously, those profiting from the scam were not happy. They have been issuing threats to members of my team.

“We discovered about 71,133 ghost pensioners within the system, for whom the “cartel” behind the fraud had been collecting government money for years.

“Also, about 44,320 retired persons were discovered never to have been paid their pension since 1968 and 1975. We have brought some of these pensioners on board and they now enjoy their pension.

“During the systems review, we uncovered 66 fake accounts. There was a situation where about 555 accounts belonging to one person were discovered in a particular bank.

“We felt this could not have been possible without connivance of the bank management. It is really unfortunate and sad.”

Maina said the success was achieved through the system review scheme designed by his team of men from ICPC, EFCC, Customs, Immigration and other relevant security agencies.

He pleaded with the ICPC for closer ties so that all corrupt cases uncovered could be prosecuted.

He said: “If we can make these shocking discoveries in the Pension Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation alone, you can imagine the extent of fraud in all the 42 pension offices nationwide.

He added that the robust database of pensioners built by the team as well as the e-payment system designed by the team really helped a great deal.

He said the Task Team had also succeeded in reducing the monthly pension of the Police from N1.5 billion to N500 million.

Maina said: “At the Police Pension Office, the team also discovered some fraud that led to the reduction of their monthly delivery from the Budget Office from N1.5 billion, to N500 million.

An idle fund of N28 billion was also discovered and is to be returned to the Budget Office.

“We have designed a smartcard solution that has cut this expenditure and made the exercise very convenient for the pensioners, who can do the verification without having to travel around the country thereby risking their lives.

“The government should be able to fully fund pension even in the future if the tempo against fraud in pension offices is sustained.

The Acting Chairman of ICPC, Mr Ekpo Nta, praised the Task Team for its achievements.

He said the commission has embarked on System Review of Public Department.

D’banj’s absence from the pro-subsidy protests in Lagos and his failure to lend his voice to the rash of criticisms that greeted the Federal Government’s action had ignited mixed reactions from music fans across Nigeria and sent many tongues wagging.

Fans of the self-acclaimed Koko Master had, no doubt, felt really bad that he stayed away from the masses’ struggle to press their rights. They expressed their feelings to him via different social media, especially on Twitter and Facebook.

Most of the messages showed how much the fans were displeased with him.

Now we know why. In a telephone interview with LIFE& BEAT, the singer’s manager, Sunday Are, said D’banj was not in the country.

Are said D’banj’s absence was not intentional, as nobody knew the protests would escalate to the magnitude that they did. He said that if the Koko Master, as he is fondly called by ladies, was in the country, he would have joined in the peaceful protests.

He said, “D’banj was not in the country while the protests lasted. He travelled to London after the Koko Concert to rest and shoot videos. Nobody knew the protests would turn out the way they did. I was not in the country myself when the strike began.

“I returned from South Africa to join the protests because I love my country. Everybody has a schedule mapped out for his day, week, or month; D’banj has his own schedule, too.”

Are said he was surprised that Nigerians did not give D’banj the benefit of doubt.

He said, “Like everybody that voted for Goodluck, we were surprised that things were turning out the way they did. D’banj did not exactly compose a campaign song for him; he already had the song.

“He just twisted it a little. I’m surprised about the way people reacted without hearing from D’banj. As for everybody that said negative things about him, I believe everybody has a right to express themselves. We all enjoy the freedom of speech.”

Six people were killed yesterday in Maiduguri, Borno State’s beleaguered capital city, by people believed to be Boko Haram members as security is being tightened across the North.

Acting Inspector General of Police (IGP) Mohammed Abubakar has deployed 10 additional units of riot policemen in Kano to secure the city, which is still reeling from the effect of Boko Haram attacks in which 185 people were killed.

Also, the headquarters of the Army’s 3rd Armoured Brigade in Jos has been moved to Gombe where the deadly sect has been operating freely for some time.

The six people were killed in their homes in Maiduguri while they were asleep.

They were found dead in Kawar Mala, Shehuri North, where 11 suspected sect members were killed by soldiers attached to the Joint Task Force (JTF) last Saturday. The families of the 11 have, however, called for a probe, saying they were not Boko Haram members.

JTF spokesman Lt.-Col. Hassan Mohammed confirmed the killings in a statement.

He said: “Preliminary investigation reveals that the six deceased persons were suspected to have been killed by persons suspected to be their fellow sect members. The killings may have been as a result of division among sect members.”

He said the JTF would continue to be proactive in dealing with members of the sect, and advised the people to be security conscious.

Residents of Maiduguri were woken up early yesterday by deafening explosions which rocked parts of the metropolis.

A resident of Gomari Airport, Mallam Kaomi Bukar, said he was woken up by a loud sound but could not say where it came from.

Lt.-Col. Mohammed confirmed the explosions, but added that no casualty was recorded.

Governors Demand More Power For States Governors Demand More Powe

MEMORIES of the good, old days of the former Western Region were rekindled yesterday in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, where governors called for more powers for states.



Making the demands are governors of Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Ekiti, Ondo, Osun and Edo states that make up the old Western Region. The quick devolution of “more powers” to the constituent parts of the country, in their view, will accelerate development.

The governors said they deliberated on critical developmental and economic issues that would enhance the integration of the former Western Region.

According to them, the Federal Government has accumulated “many responsibilities and power” that should have come within the purview of the federating states.

The meeting resolved that it had become “expedient” to review the existing power structure that arrogated so many responsibilities to the government at the centre by devolving power to the federating states.

The meeting held at the Valley View Government House, Isale – Igbein, Abeokuta, was chaired by Lagos State Governor Mr. Babatunde Fashola (SAN). It was attended by host Governor Ibikunle Amosun (Ogun), Abiola Ajimobi (Oyo), Kayode Fayemi (Ekiti) and Rauf Aregbesola (Osun).

Governors of Edo and Ondo states were represented by their Deputies – Dr. Pius Odubu (Edo) and Alh. Ali Olanusi (Ondo).

The governors deplored what they called “imbalance” in the resource allocation to states of the region, despite their contributions to the nation’s Gross Domestic products (GDP).

“The governors reaffirm their determination to ensure that justice is done on the revenue allocation framework in the country,” they said in a communiqué read by Dr Fayemi.

They lamented the worsening state of the federal roads in the old Western region particularly the Lagos – Ibadan and Sagamu – Benin Expressways, saying the daily gridlock often witnessed on the roads leads to job losses, economic wastage and insecurity.

The governors resolved to explore the option of taking over the reconstruction and management of those roads to bring sanity back. They also agreed on the need to create alternative road and rail lines to link Lagos and Asaba in Delta State.

The meeting called for an immediate review of the existing concession agreement on the Lagos – Ibadan Expressway because of its strategic importance as the main artery linking Lagos to other parts of the country.

Other issues resolved at the meeting include the establishment of a full – fledged secretariat for effective co-ordination of the goals to fully integrate the states of the old Western Region with Ibadan as the headquarters. The periodic meeting of the governors is to be rotational.

But Bicourtney spokesman Dipo Kehinde said last night that the company is in a position to fufill its obligations  on the Lagos-Ibadan Express way contract, in line with the concession agreement.
