But this is not an acceptable display.
Thumprinted Ballot papers are not expected to be shown to ANY other person!
Is this not the highest form of vote-buying?

Obantoko/Asero axis is not only the worst area per light issue in Abeokuta only, but in Nigeria.

Even IBEDC can confirm this to you.

Can you help explain why a 2bedroom flat cannot exhaust a 100kwh of light since February? I'm even still having about 20kwh left!
That's to tell you how worse the power here in Asero is.

Seun, where is page (0)?

The picture looks like the gentle Corper Cythia Dike I knew back then in Ngor Okpala, 2013 when serving. I pray she is not the one.
Rest in peace lady.

Helloooo! Where am I?

What a welcome development if achieved!

AlexReports:
The crisis-challenged labour party as many say might have eventually settled for peace, as a veteran politician, consolidated idealist and principled leader gets the nod of party members to lead her through the next phase of its revolutionary encounter.

Basically, the recently concluded convention of the Labour party which upholds Dr. Mike omotosho as the party chairman is indeed a remarkable intervention that will restore peace, dignity and innovations in the party which was initially plagued by disunity, mismanagement and mediocrity. However, the  choice of Dr Mike omotosho will doubtlessly engage a new dawn and a visionary diversion from the  beaucratic developments which the party suffered hitherto. 

In an interview with newsmen Dr. Mike highlighted his willingness to restructure the party, uphold the party’s constitution and expose the immeasurable strength which the party is known for worldwide. Having made remarkable achievements in his political career, Omotosho has established himself as a revolutionary strategist, a grassroots mobilizer, and a person who is known for sensational truth who abides strictly to the rule of law as well as to the mandate of the people. 
Therefore, it is on the basis that he was elected, so as to bring to bear his feats which will define the party as a populist party, promote the plight of the common man, relate efficiently with the smallest unit of our economy and engage the vibrant ideas of youths who are meant to be the leaders of today.

Considering the present situation of curruption and non-performance by several political parties, Dr. Mike has promised that ...

Correct that please. It's either kworapshun or corruption.

Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has denied reports that it colluded with some banks to prevent the remittance of some funds into the treasury single accounts (TSA) as directed by the federal government.
In a statement by Ndu Ughamadu, group general manager, group public affairs division, the corporation described the allegation as not only “misplaced but equally misleading”.
Ughamadu said the corporation had earlier taken steps to inform the presidency, office of the accountant general of the federation, (AGF) and the Central Bank of Nigeria, (CBN) on the existence of the said accounts prior to the creation of the federal government asset recovery account.
“It would be totally out of place to move the funds to the federal government asset recovery account as reported,” the statement read.
“It is unreasonable and sheer waste of funds to pay any agent five percent, whistleblowing fee for the phantom recovery of genuine NNPC funds which had been disclosed to the presidency, CBN and other relevant stakeholders.
“Based on this superior argument, the consultant appointed by government to investigate the alleged hidden remittances was instructed to withdraw the pending court case against some commercial entities at the federal high court, Lagos.”
The statement said in line with the directive of the presidency, the apex bank is supervising the remittance of the funds to the CBN TSA account.
The NNPC said as an “entity with fiduciary responsibility to the government and people of the Federal Republic of Nigeria”, its commitment to transparency and accountability remains unwavering.

Security has been beefed up at the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation as a result of the rift between the minister of state for petroleum, Ibe Kachikwu and the Group Managing Director of the NNPC, Maikanti Baru.
Kachikwu who doubles as the Chairman of the NNPC, blew the whistle on a $26 billion contract scam perpetrated by the GMD at the corporation, and the rift has reportedly increased security presence at the NNPC.
According to PUNCH, sources say police and army presence has been increased as a result of the expectation that protesters would picket the NNPC due to the nature of the multi-trillion Naira scam rocking the apex oil company.
A source at the NNPC said, “There have been soldiers at the NNPC since the Boko Haram threats of 2013.
“However, we received fresh reports that people may be coming to demonstrate at the NNPC, so we had to beef the security up around the NNPC.
“Also, the feud between both sides has caused some division at the NNPC. For now, visitors won’t be allowed to drive in, except they have special appointment or they are contractors and there are special identity cards given to contractors.”
The source also disclosed that there are snipers sitting atop the six towers of the NNPC.

Ajaero’s faction, FG set up committee on price, minimum wage
ABUJA — The National Industrial Court, NIC, sitting in Abuja, yesterday, stopped the Nigerian Labour Congress, NLC, and the Trade Unions Congress, TUC, from embarking on strike today.
This came as Organised Labour and its civil society allies, yesterday, vowed to go ahead with the planned indefinite strike from today to make government reverse the N145 per litre pump price of petrol, despite the restraining order by the court.
However, Vanguard sources at the meeting said NLC and TUC were infuriated that, while government was on one hand negotiating with them, its officials were on the other hand, seeking a black market injunction, and threatened to use the strike to make a statement to the government.
One of the leaders, who attended the meeting but spoke on condition of anonymity, said: “Our decision not to suspend the strike was further fuelled by today’s (yesterday’s) injunction by the Industrial Court, restraining us from proceeding on the strike expected to begin tomorrow (today).”
Corroborating the position of Wabba-led NLC and TUC, Pro-Labour Civil Society Groups, Joint Action Front, JAF, vowed to disregard the restraining order.
According to the Secretary of JAF, Abiodun Aremu: ‘’The mass action is on! Let them come with the injunction, we would disobey whatever injunction they are coming up with.”
No strike— Ajaero
Meanwhile, Factional President of NLC, Joe Ajaero, yesterday, faulted the restraining order by NIC stopping the planned strike and mass protest.
Ajaero, while reacting to the restraining order by the President of NIC, Justice Babatunde Adejumo, contended that it was wrong for the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, to have gone to court over a matter that parties were already on a negotiation table.
He equally wondered why the President of NIC would give an order onan ex-parteapplication without putting the other party on notice as was the practice.
Ajaero said: “This was not the first time a court would try to stop labour action. If you could recall, when Comrade Adams Oshiomhole was the president of NLC, there was a court order against planned strike by NLC and TUC, which Oshiomhole described as a black market injunction.
“It was very wrong for the Attorney General of the Federation to have gone to court while parties in this case, the federal government and Labour, were already on the negotiation table.”
“Ajaero restated his earlier position that labour could not have mobilised sufficiently enough for today’s strike without exhausting all avenues for settlement.
“When we spoke with you yesterday (Monday), we insisted that there was no way we could mobilize, sensitize and even start an action  tomorrow  (Wednesday).
‘’That we would rather negotiate and it is only when the negotiations might have collapsed that we take the option of going through any action.
“On the basis of that, we agreed that a committee should be set up to, among other things, look at the issue of minimum wage; look at the issue of N500bn social investment; look at the issue of setting up or reconstituting the PPPRA board and review the N145 new pump price of petroleum product.
‘’The committee is to report back  in two weeks  time. I won’t like to drag it more than this than to say this is the summary of the agreement reached.,” he stated.
Ajaero, however, insisted that his faction, including NUPENG, PENGASSAN, NUEE, among others, would not go on strike over fuel price hike by the Federal Government.
He spoke after his faction’s meeting with federal government officials ended early , yesterday morning.  This was a few hours after the meeting with Ayuba Wabba’s faction ended.
The meetings, which ended without conclusion, were in session at press time last night.  They started late yesterday evening.

CHRONICLE OF A NIGERIAN GRADUATE

You almost wounded me with laugh because of the bolded! Funny but true!

Ay04z:
u mean with 100 NAIra i can get upto 5gig.

No! I mean with #500 you can get 5Gb.

The package is still on and working fine. For those who don't know how to accumulate the data, follow how I've been doing mine, very simple. Recharge N100 on Monday, dial the code *474*1#, it'll be added to your weekend plan. Repeat same on Tuesday, Wednesday to Friday, by this time you have (1024 x 5)Mb, i.e 5Gb to use on Saturday. But ensure you use-up everything because it will disappear by Monday 00:00. Thank me later.

I read comments of guys, say they may know what the @op is talking about but may not know it by that name. It is the visible outer covering of female reproductive organ that has lips shape. Hmmm! Education is essential. Such guys should get educated soon please.
@op, get her to see a gyneacologist, preferably a male, better solution can be proffered. It actually is not an urgent medical condition, but psychological condition e.g. her insecurity.

brainpower:
I refuse to believe this story is as true as it was reported. First of all, telling us the boss is in her 30s is to make it look appealing but forgetting that at her 30s she can't be a "top federal civil servant". Govt work no be bank or self-employed. Before you become a senior staff, you must have worked for some years. Even if it's true, how did the floor outside the room get wet? Was to bathroom door not properly closed? The eye witness said she stood there for about 15minutes, how long did the boss spend in the bathroom? You watched someone for 15monutes without the person noticing? How did you get into the house?

Anyway, the story could be true but not this straightforward.

Continuing, what relationship has OP's story and this his/her link ( http://www.punchng.com/news/buhari- owes-igbos-nothing-junaid-tells-ezeife/ ).
I conclude the the story is ..... Thanks

'My people perish for lack of knowledge.' Of what value is cults to them now?
Hmmm....wasted investments, futile efforts!

What miracle?
