imauri: thank you.... extreme delusion...the Nigerian leadership is a product of the society.... nothing more.... the Obvious uselessness of the masses, morality 0, honesty 0, greed 100,tribalism 100 vanity 100. so why bother! you honestly have to be outside to see it for what it is. A country where progression and positive change will bring about your sudden demise...

Annie2gud: Nice one.happenned to me too.my traditional marriage is this dec.my husband just came,asked me,annie are you ready to marry,i said yes.i hav done my court marriage in naija..and next month is the trado stuff.God bless ur home.

nwanna89: In NYSC, the soldier in charge of my platoon told me while we were drinking, that he dreads being deployed to NYSC camp and cant wait for the camp to end so he can return to the "waterside" where he can be making money from oil bunkering. He said sometimes they share as much 5 million naira among themselves. And at night they drink in the bar together with armed militant. The JTF and militants co-exist peacefully

akraym: the god that failed, adjusted to a deformed society by creating a deformed citizen. off topic, pardon me

BrightCar: I THANK GOD, MY SWEET POTATO CAN NEVER TRY IT, WHEN SHE BECOMES HIGH, I TAKE IT LOW AND SOONER OR LATER WE TALK IT OVER AND SMILE.

sCun: You are a big fool! See your useless ambition. Are we supposed to move forward or backward?

Pink!:
On a side note, I don't know why folks keep complaining about paying to use the trolley. All the airports I've used/passed through, I've always paid. How in the world would the trollies be maintained if there's no charge attached to it.
Let's be reasonable in our complaints pls.

saviola24: what site can i watch the football as am not in naija pls

yanshless: I don't know if I may be right but I've observed that Femi Falana always tends to quickly show some sort of morbid interest in matters that circles around a troubled IBO figure. He will then champion it or rekindle its flames to national prominence. Ha.
Check his records. Of late is the Odua predicament and now this Chime wife.
Are there not lots of prominent Yoruba Otunbas maltreating their wives or people? Can't he champion these ones?

Katsumoto: @ Edo Girl

I disagree with the choice of Ameachi as VP on the following grounds

1. He doesn't have a large amount of supporters. Most voters in Ameachi's region will vote GEJ anyway; so what leverage does Ameachi have?

2. A more competent administrator should be VP to Buhari. I don't see why Fashola should be overlooked on the basis of religion. June 12, a muslim/muslim ticket won against a Muslim/Xtian ticket.

meine: Congrats Op, you seem to have a good girl on your hand and you have a lot working for you like she lives close to you and you know her best friend. That being said there is no timetable for marriage, you just know it and what works for A cant work for B. People can date for 3 months and they would have seen each other 30 times,while i know a couple who are getting married in December and have never seen each other at all though it sounds weird.

Just be prayerful, detach your emotions, forget her positives and focus on her negatives,can you live with them?. Move ahead whenever you are sure, if your mind says one year then go for one year.

Obrafour: Private Universities like Central, Vallew View and Ashesi are also competitive.
Don't forget, the colleges in Nigeria can't take all students, this in my opinion make them opt for Ghanaian instituitions as well.

Nigeria is very much tribalistic. How d'you expect igbos to feel after a civil war that has refused to heal, years of neglect, then they finally have an airport upgraded and made to look nice, and within a short while the minister in charge is marked for prosecution/removal/jail as the case may be.

I don't know about the details or the technicalities but I can assure you the market woman in the street doesn't know either. Majority of those calling for her head don't know either,

Now here's where it gets funnier, those calling for her head today will not reciprocate this vigor if another politician or a favored demographic does something similar or worse. That has been the problem. That's why igbos (or some igbos) feel that this is part of a broad agenda to subdue them. After all 300billion naira vanished under anenih, I don't remember a national call to prosecute him. And so many others.
In 1999, Buhari was on the hot seat for forged documents and he was forced to resign as speaker following a national outcry spearheaded by the media. Within a short while Tinubu was also involved with some forgery but his case was not pursued with the same vigor. And he served out his term.

So there's always this suspicion. If the "oga at the top" guy was from another group there may have been a heavy outcry for his head. But you know people just made fun of him and that's all.

My Opinion: this national outcry is good in the long term, I hope it doesn't end here. And it will not. If she's guilty, she should be removed but to placate the igbos ( and this is important) she may be replaced with another Igbo woman ( also placating the feminists who have lost a governor and a speaker in the last ten yrs) and then those aggrieved can watch out for corrupt officers from another section and raise alarm. Rivalry between ethnic groups converted into a national clean up from corruption . Good for us all.

Sloan: I think DEFINITELY but Pastor Kumuyi has a different calling and he probably will not be interested in Politics, the type that is being played in Nigeria. But in terms of POLITICAL leadership, out of the ones that have shown ANY type of interest and honestly without sentiments:

1. Buhari - for almost 30 years after being military president and in being in the public space, NO ONE has ever been able to mention his name in any corruption deal! Whereas there are lots of Nigerians who did not even complete 2 years in the public space and their corruption is blown right into the knowledge of the entire world.

2. Nuhu Ribadu - He is so incorruptible, he had LOTS of opportunities to STEAL money or just take stolen money - bribe (not stealing according to GEJ), rather he takes the entire $15 M to the CBN and reports the case and prosecutes the man involved. Never done in the history of Nigeria.

3. Tunde Bakare - You will probably have to kill him only to discover that he still refuses to take the money , steal it or accept the bribe.

4. Col. Umar - don't know much about him in the political space but in the public space he is one person who did not care if he disagreed with his people so far as he spoke the truth the way he saw it.

5. Governor Fashola - Given his pedigree, I would add his name here too. What is known of his lifestyle, his utterances and his performance does not suggest someone who is being bribed but I realize we will know more after he completes his tenure.

Michael Sokoto: Chai! I've gone tru all d pages buh can't find d Otuoke clown as a nominee, even die-hard fans haven't nominated him either

Iz dis d signs of End-Time

Area-Fada:
My lady, how old were you when he was military head of State?

I saw him live give a speech at a university when he was hos then. He said all the right things but went ahead to close several Radio Nigeria branches, cancelled Lagos metro plan and generally went ahead closing and cancelling things without any decent or progressive ideas of his own.
Or threat and soaking baboon and monkey in blood is the great idea to take us forward?

The little legacy credited to him were even Idiagbon's ideas (WAI, environmental etc).

May be those too young in his regime can be fooled.

salt 1: I have a very beautiful but imperfect marriage!
I also have lovely but demanding children.

Good as the marriage is, I have my moments
Times when I wish I wasn't married! (when I am annoyed)
Times when I feel resentful of the children! (even though they are wonderful gifts)

But then I rally again and fall in love all over with my family! Until the next misunderstanding!

Instead of thinking of marriage as a destination where you arrive and live happily ever after, I think of mine as a journey that has the good, the bad and the ugly

But I CHOOSE to be happy in it. After all, it's for the long haul and I entered as a mature, consenting adult
