Putin is just bluffing, himself and his country Russia is not immune to nuclear attack,he won't dare it, it's all brinksmanship.

Rollsnjaguar:
Those urging western nations on will be shocked at what Putin is capable of. I know Putin will never loose, instead he will deploy nuclear weapons.

you really thinks Putin n Russia are immuned to nuclear attack themselves!,all these is just brinksmanship Putin would never results to nuclear weapons never.

complexBoss12:
It's a pity that the people of Ukraine will be sacrificed for a new world order. As I said in my previous post few days ago, Putin would rather seen an end to the world than end like Hitler, and just today, he put nuclear weapons on alert over sanctions.

Putin ain't playing by any rules.

Ukrainian President thinks it sounds good to "die a hero" But I will tell you guys for free "there is nothing heroic about death". If you have watched someone die, it's painful and inglorious.

Recognizing than someone is stronger than you is not a sign of weakness but strength. The president of Ukraine is being used as a pawn, in a game that is bigger him. He is sacrificing his people for stupid pride. It's a natural the weak, will be a subject to the strong. Talk to Putin, negotiate. mind you that, Russia hasn't even started war, they are more less playing the deplomatic game of threatening you to come for negotiation, if they decide to end Ukraine in 24 hours it will be done.

You can still quote me and talk rubbish, but sentiment don't win wars. I am being practical here. In international politics, once deplomacy fails, people get hurt.

The only reason I won't argue much about this is that Ukraine isn't a member of NATO,if Putin really thinks he is supreme then let him attack a NATO member nation, Ukraine is getting foreign aid from various countries via polish land borders, Poland is a NATO member let Putin make good his threat n attack Poland n let's see.

If not for numerous political mistakes of the past the SE would have long produce the president of the country,but it's never too late,I support their stand.

To mark the fourth anniversary of the abduction of Leah Sharibu by Boko Haram/ISWAP from Government Girls Science and Technical College, on February 19, 2018, the founder of the #FreeLeahSharibu movement, Reno Omokri, is releasing a charity single, titled Angels on Guard: A Song for Leah.

Written by pop music diva, and renowned broadcaster and actress, Onyeka Onwenu, the song, Angels on Guard: A Song for Leah, is performed by Onyeka Onwenu, also featuring foremost gospel music star, Panam Percy Paul and Reno Omokri.

More importantly, it features Nathan Sharibu, Leah Sharibu’s father.

Angels on Guard: A Song for Leah, is Executive produced by Reno Omokri and is intended to draw world attention to the case of Leah Sharibu, who was abducted by radical Islamic terrorists along with 109 other schoolgirls.

Five of those girls died on the day of their abduction. 104 were later released because they were either Muslims, or agreed to abandon Christ. Leah Sharibu is the only girl still in captivity, because, according to the released girls, she refused to give up her faith in God through Jesus Christ (Yeshua Hamashiach).

Reno Omokri has been campaigning for Leah Sharibu’s release since 2018, and has written a book, Leah Sharibu: The Girl Boko Haram Left Behind. 100% of the royalties of that book was paid to Leah’s mother.

Mr. Omokri met Boris Johnson, now Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, who modeled the first #FreeLeahSharibu T-shirt on Wednesday, April 3, 2019. A charity auction of #FreeLeahSharibu T shirts raised over £4000, 100% of which was donated to Leah’s parents.

Mr. Omokri also wore a customized #FreeLeahSharibu tracksuit over Mount Everest on Thursday, April 11, 2019, and has met with 9 sovereign governments in a bid to pressure the Nigerian administration of General Muhammadu Buhari to secure Miss Sharibu’s release.

Angels on Guard: A Song for Leah is available for immediate download on iTunes, Spotify, and other music streaming platforms from Wednesday, February 16, 2022.

Osibanjo really let his faith and the Christians down in Leah's case,how in hell was he part of the effort to release the kidnapped dapchi students with only Leah sharibu a Christian left out, it's one major reason I don't have confidence in him at all,his present lack of confidence in his so called presidential ambitions against Tinubu is also vindicating my doubts about him, God bless and have mercy on Leah.

Not only courts. We must first fight it in the minds of Nigerians who think it benefits them. Once that battle is won and the majority understand, the subsidies will disappear.

please I was talking about constituency projects and not subsidies.

budaatum:
No it isn't, which is why Jonathan and bubu have fought the cabal that benefits from it at the expense of all Nigerians, and instead of supporting those who try to fight it we all condemn the fighters as if they are the thieves.

I think the only way to really fight it,is to challenge it legality in the court that's all.

klas:
It wasn't introduced by Obasanjo, it was introduced by Nass during Obasanjo tenure.

The constitutionality of constituency project has not been tested in court but it is the legislature that the constitution gives the power of appropriation.

Their contention is that if they are the one with that power, they cannot just rubber-stamp executive proposals by way of budget just like that without their own input.

That is why the issue of budget padding cannot be easily defined. How do you accuse somebody who has constitutional authority to approve the budget estimates of padding it because he removes some of the executive proposals and inserts his own?

It is like accusing the Board of Directors of padding a proposal sent to the the Board for approval by the CEO

So, it neither here, nor there.

I like your submissions,but I think the legality of the NASS members constituency projects need to be tested in court, except if the executive is only rubbing their back for a good return,the work of the legislature no matter the power they may have is to make laws n check mate the executive n not to usurp executive powers it responsibilities in any form n vice versa, it's better to try n fail rather than allowing the nonsense to just go on unchallenged, the problem is always that buhari as an individual seems to have a very low understanding of most critical issues n some hands behind the scene are aware of this and taking advantage to run rings around him.

klas:
If you had followed the news earlier, he protested when he was signing the budget in December and promised to write the Nass to delete those projects.

In 2016, he declined signing the budget on account of the same issue but found out later that he couldn't win against Nass as they delayed the budget till the middle of year when it supposed to have taken effect in January.

Same thing happened during Jonathan regime and it wasn't resolved until Okonjo-Iweala bowed to their wish to include the constituency projects.

Ok you made a nice point,but if I may ask,is this constituency projects legal?,is it back by law or the Constitution?, I'm not sure but there are claims that it was introduced by obasanjo as a way winning over the NASS,if that is true then why can't the president if truly he is desirous of ending budget padding approach the supreme Court to declare it unconstitutional n end it permanently?.

Good day Nairalanders,

I work as a security officer in a community, I usually work from 7:00am - 3pm in a secondary school, and also resume night duty by 7pm in a community close to my house
The landlord association gave us a warning that we must check all cars coming in and going out of the estate and we have been performing our duties in a polite way..
About 11:35pm last night, we heard the horn of a strange car requesting that we should open the gate, I switch on my touch to check those inside the car, it was three abled young men and lady inside the car, in a polite way I ask them where they are heading to and they mentioned a popular rich man in the community, as usual, I told them to open the booth of there car which they refused to open, I told them to drive back to where they are coming from but before I could know what's happening,. They got down from the car and threathing to deal with us if the gate is not opened...they forced the gate open and drove inside the community,my colleague we're just watching the whole scenario as I drag issues with them...
I don't know the report they gave the chairman of the landlords association, they just got to our checkpoint this morning and told me I have been fired without paying me off, I told them I haven't done anything wrong and was just carrying out my duties,I was told never to come close to the area again or else I will be arrested.
I left there in annoyance, I was only carrying out my duties but now I have been Sacked for carrying out order...
I don't know what this country is turning to again...

something fishy is definitely going down, it's bad,but sorry stay away from those people simple.

If the PDP as a party are serious and truly desirous of winning the 2023 elections,let them not shy away from zoning of their offices n specifically zone the presidency to the SE,the southern governor's should be bold enough to demand that both pdp n APC should zone their presidential candidate to the SE, security issues should not be the yard stick but if they should then only the SW N SS should be considered, there are still some credible politicians in both parties from the SE,in pdp there's ekweremadu, Peter obi in Apc there's ogbonaya onu,Dave umahi n others that should be given a chance for equity, peace n progress of the country.

I think we also should have a unicameral national assembly to reduce cost n quickens legislative functions,I will suggest it should be called 'THE NATIONAL CONGRESS"n the members should be called "CONGRESSOR",the present senatorial zones should be split into three so that each state shall have 9 congressors,at the state level the state assembly should have three members representing each local government area,at the local government level,each local government area should have twenty wards each represented by a councilor.all elective position should be for a single term of five years,the minimum academic qualifications for elective office should be ND/NCE or their legal equivalent for councilor,HND/FIRST DEGREE for the rest positions n their deputies as the case may be,as for age,it should be 25 for councilor n 30 for the rest,for each position or deputy one must have established n manage a registered business employing a minimum of 5 persons 3years prior to contesting or must have acquired relevant work experience in the past 10year prior to contesting.rotational representation should be made constitutional for all elective positions,i think this would do the country a lot of good in future.

The Ogun state police have been accused of arresting a female student of Moshood Abiola Polytechnic (MAPOLY) identified as Olanipekun Oladayo Irenimofe for buying contraceptive and pregnancy test tubes, Siggy reports.

The sister of the arrested student who shared the story on her Twitter said the pharmacist who attended to the student was also arrested.

She pleaded for help on twitter who however can help them resolve the issue as she'd love her sister released from the police station as soon as possible.

To hell with their strike!
■Imagine if ministry of defence staff are the ones to recruit military officers and not the Nigeria Army
■Imagine if the staff of the NSA office are responsible for recruitment into DSS and NIA,
Why doing that to the police? No wonder the police is beyond repairs and devoid of the right people for police job.
PSC is just one agency that needs to be scrapped ASAP
Civilians responsible for police recruitment! Only in Nigeria

your analogy is wrong,go n check the functions of the PSC,I wonder y the supreme Court hasn't rule on the PSC vs IGP Case to settle this matter once n for all, personally I would prefer the PSC to be in charge,e get y.

Rickmann:
Exactly..
The system claims to have equated both degrees yet the segregation and discrimination never stops.

It's completely the fault of the government who are just paying lip service to real educational reforms n dancing to the selfish sentiments of some powerful stake holders e.g ASUU,with the appropriate know how n will power most of these stuffs can be easily address but where the head is rotten n empty what would you expect from the body.

Rickmann:
Isn't it worrisome that the OND holders stand a better chance of securing jobs now in Nigeria. Banks, companies and even the civil service now prefer OND certifications to the Bachelor's degree.

Question now is, aren't university undergraduates wasting their time?

This is why we need a single standard for certificates instead of all these duplications n discrepancies n discriminations.

I'M so disappointed with the cowardice of CAN,one would have expected them to by now made a categorical statement rejecting the presidential ambitions of a Muslim Tinubu, while they would be very correct by not minding where the presidency goes either south west or south east or south south but they should be clear that the successor to buhari has to be a southern Christian for equity sake,but they have remained quiet only to lament later on,MURIC has been boldly speaking out but CAN is afraid,I don't blame the Muslims who are supporting Tinubu they know what they are doing, after all nobody protects your interest better other than yourself.

I can understand y politicians are so much concerned about the mode of party primaries, it's where candidates are decided by good or crook means,so how can there be e level playing field n transparency?,I will suggest that there should be a system of fix n known delegates for every primary eg for presidential primary the following people should be permanent delegates;all elected executive n legislative members of the party at the national n state level,all the exco members of the party at national n state level only,there should not be any thing like adhoc delegates, political appointees should not be delegates,same system of fix n known delegates should be designed for every position to contested,I think that way there would be transparency as the numbers would be known hence no magic delegates, candidates can reach the delegates ahead n no issues of candidates hyjacking etc, this would also reduce cost,I don't support the idea of direct primaries where fictitious figures would be cook up just eliminate an opponent like the apc primaries in Lagos n recently in Anambra states but during the actual elections the so call party members would be no where to vote the candidates.

I'm not glorifying the brain drain. I am only giving a response to the question. Ofcourse, times are changing, but I doubt China is the next limelight.

Don't doubt the Chinese,even the US now knows the Chinese are now a deadly force to reckon with in all spheres, already the Chinese has ever taken the US as the wealthiest country in the world.

oracle009:
Coz America is a cosmopolitan. They harvest brains from every parts of the world. Any country that will measure up to America must follow suit. Canada is trying to, China will never get there. Unfortunately, the last era in America really pulled them behind. I look at my Team here and can count less than 30% Americans in the team. Most of us are foreigners and that is how most Labs here are. America banks on best of the best from every part of the world

please don't beat your chest n over brag,this same idea of harvesting best brains from all over is what is causing problems for her, history can be a very powerful weapon,has it ever occurred to you that Chinese extraordinary tech break through are due to theft n illegal transfer of knowledge by the so call best brains to their historical backgrounds especially the Chinese, willing Russians and Arabs, Don't decieve yourself the US can no longer enjoy the kind of respect n influence she had decades back,the Chinese are now a force never to be underestimated.
