Beaf: Exactly! For me, its an opposition party like ACN actually defining true federalism as meaning greater dependence on the FG through increased awuf money that really gets my goat. Why go through all the motions and hypocritical soundbytes to make a na'ked bid for awuf?
Everybody across the board is casting beady eyes on a piece of awuf oil loot.

Nigeria really lacks leadership at state and LG levels. Aside from Akpabio who is spending 83% of his budget on capital projects, there doesn't seem to be anyone remotely interested in in developing the cadres of govt that are directly responsible to the people.
We might mention the likes of Lamido, Chime, Amaechi, Fashola and Oshiomole, but none comes remotely close to the bar Akpabio has set.

I feel a lot of pain from realising that most people do not even have a clue about what their LG and state govt reponsibilities to them are, talkless of them having the slightest understanding of the cogs that make the wheel of development spin.

I pity the way this country is shaping to turn out in the next decade or so when oil is projected to lose market importance.

mr beaf, true u talk, but in the next decade, will u still remain in nairaland complaining? Me i wont o, if our leaders dnt think with their heads before that time, then they should be ready 4 a big challage for their sits. I wont sit here and complain all my life, i will aim 4 a political position,starting from my LGA.i expect u 2 do d same. I tink u are even more intelligent than ur governor.

ehn? If i hearam... No go there o. Viewin centres u cnt compare d fun, xcitement. I've tried d 2,believe me,watchin match at home is OYO,no argument,no shoutin,no fake or real analysis,no noise,no fun jor. Viewin centre is da bomb

my qtn is ll nigerians buy nigerian made cars?

KarmenK: What the typical so-called characteristic of Nigerian tribes. My dad wants me to marry my own kind = Urhorbo/Delta (I'm yet to find one)
And where I'm from 90% of Nigerians are Yoruba's.
I've dated a Yoruba guys who's mum was a psycho.
Igbo men= I. Go.Before.Others. Someone told me
I'm interested to knw what other tribes are out there
and what they are known for, what are the "alleged" characteristic. ( including my own tribe)
Both men and women pls.
At the end of the day who are we to judge. It's just for fun a bit of banter.

Sorry there is nothing romantic about this. I forgot where I was posting.

[quote author=blogger1.0]Hehe, op, what do youth contribute to the church? The last time i checked, the 'big' men who give fat loads of cash and gifts to the church have been handsomely rewarded with high positions titles in the church. So wake up bro, nobody gives a damn about you until you can drop something on the table,its all about give and take.[/quote]then what are we not saying, the youths especially the very ambitious 1s will do nd undo to make sure they make ends meet,even if it involves kidnapping, stealing, killing, bombing,militancy, boko haramcy and other vices. Shall we continue like this?

now we have seen that our govt both
federal,state and local govt are delivering,
Nigeria being a very religious nation, and our
religious leaders both muslim and christian
have great influence on the people. With this
status and said responsibility in guiding the people aright and seeing to their well
being,why cant this religious leaders help
create jobs for the youths in their domains.i
was in a catholic church last week and the
announcer was mentioning millions collected
from last year's harvest,i was wondering what do they do with this money? Ok they give the
money to the bishop, and the bishop uses it to
help the poor,by giving them food materials
etc. etc. But is that wise enough? I dnt think so,
WHY CANT THEY USE THE MONEY TO BUILD
INDUSTRIES IN NIGERIA TO EMPLOY THE YOUTHS IN THEIR CHURCHES. All they do is open private
universities, that only the rich can attend,
including my our dear catholic church, We
recently heard of a bishop owning 4 jets and
starting an airline business, that is good, but
not good enough, how many members can that airline employ. Why not do something
bigger to employ millions of youths in their
church that both the rich and poor members
can benefit.

kayusfit: @jmoore; if your sisters were among those little girls bleeped by armed robbers in shagamu am sure your response would be different. I support the lawmakers. Police should return to the roads asap so as to ensure safety of lives and prevent violation of women. For those whining, 50 naira is not too much for drivers to pay on high ways just to inspire our police men to discharge their duties. Up ACN. Long live TINUBU

MUST TO CONSIDER BY ALL NIGERIANS:
I observed that 99% of job vacancies revolve
among those already employed either by hook or
crook while fresh graduates face the
consequencies because of lack of work experience
- no reqards given to NYSC experience, but yet our leaders and other cooperate bodies keep singing
the most anoying song from verse1 to verse2 that
youths should be self-employed,how?.how can
you determine the sucess of the so-called self-
employement with liltle or no capital.oh maybe all
they wanted is for the youths to be able to provide only his meals but not minding other
responsibilities(mariage,family&confort) but for the
youths to remain poor. I suggest we try singing
the song from verse2 to verse1 which says and i
sing 'let there be law that no one shld work more
than 15years after which the person retires and create job(s) or be self-employed. So that there will
be rooms for the fresh graduates to also enjoy
salary,be trained and be experienced for the same
period and later create jobs. In practicing such
there is justice and equity. Why would someone
work for up to 40yrs above? Na hm papa company?. I beg lets change the song.thank you

them no get house? Why cnt dy go bak to their own land, mayb katsina, bornu or sum desert they cme 4rm.

Ekpan women nearly go gbege nepa last week, i tot it was just in my area, never knew d whole 9ja,dy suffer nd smiling. Why should dry season be affectin our lite, our so called engineers no dy try at all.

Afolabs101: @ ~bluetooth, never mind!! I'm so used to fed govt panels I actually took u serious

dnt wori d federal govt ll set up a comitee 2 luk into d commitee dat is suppose 2 probe d panel ealier set up. Commitee upon commitee, panel upon panel, and they ll b paid o.

rabzy01: As far as facts on ground show, Elrufai is not wrong. Reasons?
(1) GEJ said he knows those behind boko haram, yet no concrete action to stop them has been taken.
(2) GEJ said Nigerians should be ready to live with the bombs, after all its an international phenomenon.
(3) Dokubo Asare gave some lights in an interview with vanguard newspaper into the possibility of Ijaw Republic. For a start they have started by editing wikipedia showing that the Ijaws, in terms of population are more than the Igbos, yorubas and Hausas put together. It was a topic on Nairaland.
(4) Now GEJ, acting on security advice from Azazi, informed Nigerians that they have agreed to hibernate boko haram in June this year.
What other proofs do we need to know that Elrufai's claims are not that baseless.

did u do logic in skool? Or are u 1 of those jambites? Wats ur score? Go prepare 4 post ume jor. Ur rational behind supportin el rufai's claim is falacious. Nt far 4rm almajiri's type of reasnin.

remmyz: i really dnt know how sm guyz on NL think. if BH are attacking innocent ppl, and dey hv d oppurtunity to lay dere hands on the so called thieves dat hv been mismanaging Nigeria last week during dere convention. buh we didnt even hear dat bokoharam has treathen to distrupt pdp convention or even trow a banga, yet dey kip killing innocent nigerians. hv u ever heard bokoharam killed or bombed any gov official house b4? y wont i as a sane citizen beleif El rufai.

then ur sense of reasoning is not far 4rm d aboki men, wat have gudluck got allah or sucide bombin, wat his he to gain? It is untinkable jor. U be bh urself.

Ndjones: guy no hope

Paul John: This is interesting, i can't wait to see this bus or even enter this bus to pick up from ikorodu to Ketu. All these tata(iseoluwa) buses and all these not Nigerian made BRT buses should be sent out of Lagos. I no won know weather na Ibo or Ijaw do am, all i care about is to spend my money on Nigerian made products. But i think the management of this company suld try and break into Lagos market, ones they achieve that, they suldn't heve problem in W/Africa and the rest of Africa markets. No go think am o, i be original yoruba boy 4rm the souce "Osun state", but all i want is a united progressive Nigeria. GOD BLESS NIGERIA(Hausa, Ibo, Yoruba and other tribes).

sorry o,my broda, let me deviate a bit, u seem to like 9ja as it is united, which i want also, but i am having a problem about ethnic group and marriage, why is it dat an urhobo man is not allowed to marry a yoruba lady, am saying thir becos it is happenin to me rite nw, am lovin a lady 4rm osun state, but the father has specified d same tribe as husband 4 his daughters is dat fair?

to me if at all milan did dat on purpose to give barca tough time to play,then that is their own tatics, wen milan gets to neu camp, barca is free to do wateva they lik also.stop complainin, u win some, u lose some.dats d spirit of sport.

everyday i pass through effurun, i see youths wasting away, looking for ways to collecting money from you for no reason, and somebody is saying the govt is creating jobs, na 4 Winsh?

juman: Hope many graduates will be engaged in one job or the other before turning to crime.

If they turn to crime, the whole nation will cry. They are intelligent people.

they are already turning to crime o my brother, everyday we hear different stories of kidnappin here and there. Dat warri guy claimin uduaghan is creating jobs in delta state, pls can u name 10 reasonable projects dat man has executed since he entered office. As i dy here so i dy find work, if he is truely has been creatin jobs, where them make i apply.

it is natural for the female folks to be trilled by what they hear,while the look captivates the guys. There should be no arguments, women like to hear sweet things be it true or lie, so when d guy begin to blow phoné 4 d babe ear, she go begin kolo. On the otherhand men want to SEE pretty tins,be it fake or real,so long it is soft and good 4 eyez. Guys dnt wnt wowo wmen wen dy blow grammer, no ynash,no breast...Ah abeg o. Y do u think some men go tn villages to get wmen.

blink182: I felt I should share this as some of us might be aware while some others unaware.

You can access old vanguard issues online by simply typing the date you want. Here is an example: This is the link for today's online paper:
http://www.vanguardngr.com/epaper/2012/march/22032012/index.html. The bolded is the date you need to alter to get the issue you want that has been published in the past.

22-day 03-month 2012-year. So if you want January 2 2012, you type 02012012 and the link should look thus:

http://www.vanguardngr.com/epaper/2012/january/02012012/index.html

NB: Please remember to change the month also.

With this you can go back as far as has been published online in this format and always have your newspaper crisp and fresh, especially those with tablets and flash enabled PDA's.

Same applies to Allure, Property, Financial Vanguard and Sweet crude

Now go throw out your newspaper pile unless you think its funky having it around

that doesnt mean we should throw old papers away, moreover not every story or news u find in d papers u can get online. And for us that luv googlin tins, to get old news nd u cnt remember d date, just google d key words of d article or news u searchin 4. e.g. U can type "vanguard ibori convicted".

they dont THINK we are fools, we are FOOLS. Its only foolish people idiots rules and still keep quite. God will nt fight any battle 4 us. Even d isreal fought 4 demselves.
