Prayers like these are usually rarely answered.

Th probability of such karma happening is very high if the lady has kept quiet and not wish for bad.

Some people usually don't know the God they pray to. They think he is a genie who just grants then there wishes (whether good or bad) no matter how hard they pray? They don't know God is his own person and will not be biased around and that he would answer prayers according to his plans (will).

It's like some while back I over heard someone praying that God should inflict pain and hurt on her husband for what she did to her. It was one of the most stunning things I've heard. Its like some of this people don't know that God is love not a petty God who uses his power to help you influence your evil desires on people you don't like. Have you forgotten that God also does for those people and that he has his own plans for them also?

I once had intetest in politics but i gave up the idea when people said i would offer my body in order to gain ground.Lately,i had a conviction that my case may be different.So,how do i go about it if i want to join a political party?.Thanks

Good for you! Now ask yourself why you want to do it in the first place? What is your motive? Are you trying to serve your fellow men or are you just trying to make a name for yourself? Cos the difference between both is huge. If you are going into serve your fellow man and your intentions are altruistic then good for you. If you are doing it just because of the prestige then it's going to be easier for you to be bought or influenced after all you would do almost anything to retain your seat or to get a better one.

If you have decided on your motive for doing this, then you now have to ask yourself how am I preparing myself for this career?

Are you pursuing a master's or Ph.D in public administration or public policy? Are you reading books and if you are how many books in economic development or politics? Do you have any executive or management level experience in an organization?

What of philosophy? What are your guiding principles? Are you a liberal or a conservative? This are things one needs to reflect on before embarking on a career in politics because anyone can criticize when they are outside of govt it's when they get to office we now know what and what they can't do because passion and dedication is not the same thing as know-how. So start getting prepared or else you could end up like the guys you replaced. Best of luck.

I know am not the only person that will read this long script by the comments of other patient Nairalanders.

He be like say Nigerian journalists are not thought how to summarize. How many people do they think are going to have time to read stuff like this?

Reading Nigerian papers can be a challenge at times. So much unnecessary information and pointless interviews from different kind of folks.

To make matters worse, the writing style can be too pretentious at times. They seem to be written by journalists trying to show off the latest big grammar they learnt from the dictionary. This usually ensures that there is not always 'flow' in the pieces being written.

If they cut out all the fluff, the pointless articles, tge unconfirmed reports and the Q&A's from every politician who has served Nigeria from the first republic till now maybe the average daily newspaper would only be 7 pages long (excluding the advertisements of course).

tens4real:
Why are Canadians, Americans, and the whole world so interested in Nigerian politics

She is probably a journalist for the BBC reporting in Nigeria.

On a different note, I usually feel sorry for those western journalists who get the unfortunate draw to be sent to this less advanced regions of the world to report. I am sure some of them would rather prefer to be sent to report from America as supposed to some backwater in the middle of nowhere. Part of me thinks that the way they threaten there employees at work is to threaten them. "Look here mate, if you disrespect me again you will soon be reporting from Africa"

I guess thats why some of this postings are given to young or single journalists or the ones that love adventure.

NextGovernor:
Nigeria is a sorry country with less sense people in government. This house can simply be seize by the government, renovate and make it an office or residential area for government minimum wage earners.

Not only that. The local govt can seize it and publicly auction it to the highest bidder.

When Onyibo marry blacks, they don't marry the aged, they don't marry the ugly, they don't marry our fat, they marry our best and dump their rejects and charity cases on us.

God have mercy on Africans.

Yes now. Did you not know how there country went through a brutal civil war that has gone on for close to three decades? So many of them fled there home land and some have yet to return.

NaWetinDey:
You are right but I was responding in line with what's obtainable in Nigeria. There's really nothing one can do as long as politics sits on it. If you have lived many years abroad, you would be tempted to hate everything Nigeria, including those in it, for having allowed these for so long.

The thing is, if you owned such land in Niger delta, even if you are a San, the government will still take it.

And this is one of the most foundational reasons why Nigeria is poor and why you have the uprisings in the Niger Delta. It's because Nigerians don't fully grasp the concept of property rights. This is the building block of what created the wealthy countries. The fact that my land is my own and not the govts. If Nigeria cannot get this right, no matter the policies you pass at the federal level there would still be massive inequality in the country and unrest.
The govt should have no right to take what belongs to an individual. If I own land them i own the resources on it and I can exploit it when I want. It's called property rights.

RaptorX:
You see black men when this other races of men date the African women they choose the most beautiful and gorgeous of our women, but you black men will be parading ancient looking 300 pounds white women. Pls stop disgracing us if you want to date a white woman date a pretty one like the white man always choose our pretty women.

Preach it sir.

unclezuma:
YOU SEE IT MY PEOPLE ONYIBO NO DEY MARRY FAT OLD, UNEDUCATED AFRICANS...

Dude! I don't think I will ever forget that your legendary quote some weeks back when a Naija boy married an oyinbo grandma. It was epic.

BiggyB242:
You're trying to say by the creation of new offices he gets more allocation, right? Nigerians are their greedy ways.

From what I know you get allocations based on the number of LGA's that you have. What I am trying to say is that allocation is the main driver of waste and corruption in this country. If this state's entire revenue were solely from income taxes I bet the money to steal would be smaller and that there would be less money for unnecessary positions in govt.

BiggyB242:
What a pity, I shake my head for Nigeria. Creating offices which aren't beneficial to the nation. I heard his husband is a politician guess he has pulled some strings.

What else were you expecting when you are propping up state's via allocation? If There was no allocation majority of this state's would not exist. In fact Nigeria would probably only have 4 regions and those state's would be forced to spend there money judiciously instead of wasting it on an expansive bureaucracy.

What is wrong with Nigerian politicians? Why can't they simply just learn the words "No Comment". Abi must they respond to everything? Geez, Mr. Governor what do you feel about the sun coming up this morning? Well the sun is out because of Buhari and APC.

Goodness gracious, it's as if this politicians never saw a microphone they didn't like. Keep your opinions to yourselves. No wonder Nigerian newspapers are difficult to read, there is just soooooo many pointless articles from so many different people. If we cut out all the fluff and the noise there should only be 6 pages on the newspapers.

Deem:
wasting resources.useless appointment

What else can you expect when someone is handing you free money? Or do you think any of this state's in this country could afford a bloated bureaucracy if they didn't get allocation from the fed govt?

And they wonder why Nigeria is not prosperous.

breadplanets:
Oh really?? is it like a taboo to fry or something? inukwa!

It's not a taboo, it's just absurd. It's like frying bread or Pizza instead of baking it in an oven. It's not forbidden because in your own kitchen you set your rules but it's real weird.

NaWetinDey:
So you are saying that Nigeria government he been stealing from Niger delta?

I am saying that if I own land, I own all the resources in that land and the govt has no right to claim it. This is how advanced democracies work and rich economies operate. Anything else is theft or a dictatorship.

FunspoT:
Those shinny substances are not Gold oh it is called Pyrite otherwise known as Fool's gold...illegal minning is not good for our economy,hazardous to the environment,and can be dangerous to human lives because of the inevitable accidents that occur.

And who deems it illegal?

erico2k2:
In my region water has never been a problem for more than 1000 years . So your example do not cut it . The Oil in the ND is from the ground taking it in any shape or form is illegal .anyway kontinu

Wrong, Wrong, wrong! This is the most fundamental reason Nigeria is poor. They just don't understand that the most foundational building block of every successful capitalist society is property rights. That the govt has no right to any individuals property. This is one of the most significant differences between wealthy nations and poor nations.

NaWetinDey:
I don't know if the government has taken possession of all the lands in the north where there are all kinds of deposits and if the federal government has taken control over those places as done in oil rich regions. The fed should also include them 13% derivation from those deposits if it's not been done.

Govt has no right to take anyone's private property? I believe it's called theft.

nwabobo:
That is the norm in Northern Nigeria. Lots of mining going on with nothing going into the federation account.

These activities are not even hidden, they are done in the full glare of the public and law enforcement agents. Along the Potiskum - Fika -Gombe road, there are lots of mining activities going on there and they'd just pocket the money but keep their eyes on oil money.

That's how things are supposed to be. The govt should have no right to take what belongs to an individual. If I own land them i own the resources on it and I can exploit it when I want. It's called property rights.
