LordIsaac:1. You can't blame the lawyer without knowing the full story. 2. The only lawful way to recover a property from a tenant that refuses to leave is through the courts. It is unlawful to try and evict a tenant yourself. Op, 2 yrs seem a long time. Try and get to the bottom of why the court process is taking so long. |
Echoban:I don't think Tinubu himself believes he can get 70% of the vote. He must know now that he's in a tough fight. The VP will take many votes away from Tinubu. This is a major problem for Tinubu, and I'm sure he knows it. None of them is going to have an easy win, though Amaechi seems currently to be lagging behind those two. |
I think the VP's declaration has taken the wind out of Amaechi's sail somewhat. His momentum barely lasted a week. I also think Amaechi blaming others in the wake of the Abuja - Kaduna train incident has damaged him in ways that people underestimate. Governors and other senior politicians may conclude that he can't be trusted. |
I stopped sitting outside at night about a year ago, because I'm now paranoid about snakes, fearing they are every where. It all started with reading snake stories on nairaland. |

People hear 'borrow', they start cursing. Yes burrowing in Naira is a bit high, but it's still manageable. Borrowing in dollars is also not at an alarming level. Nigeria has massive assets it can use to pay back its local and foreign debts at current levels, so the country is not at risk of defaulting. Of course it would be better if we don't take on so much debt, but most countries in the world have higher debt per capita than Nigeria. Nigeria is a big country with a big economy and that economy is getting bigger. We just need to find a way to get the economy growing at 6-7% again asap, so that prosperity can reach every nook and cranny of this country. |
Could Mr Rufai support Tinubu at the APC presidential primaries. Nothing is impossible, though I still believe he's more likely to back Amaechi. |
I wouldn't have thought either of these brands would be a better option for Uber, than some of the Japanese or even Korean brands. I expect most German cars would be less fuel efficient and more costly to repair than their Japanese equivalent. Big considerations for Uber use. |
I actually like them even if I don't agree with some of their beliefs.I like their gentle tenacity and dedication to what they believe in, despite the rejection and, in some cases, hatred, that they face across the world. |
It's tempting to dismiss or condemn everything said by this government, but they've got some things right, and fertilizer is one of them. Many will rail at me for saying this, and few know or believe it because things are clearly tough right now - but, Nigeria is on it's way to becoming a power house economy. Yes, I know it's hard to believe. The problem is, for every good government policy, there are multiple bad ones. The bad policies and failures are economic back-breakers for millions of hard working people. If the government can find a way to get the economic growing at 6% and above again, many more millions will join the prosperity train. Should that happen (I believe it can in 3 - 4 yrs), even security will be much improved. |
Your proposals are too simplistic, and based on some faulty assumptions. The one about Lagos becoming a Federal Territory is nonsense. Lagos is the economic jewel of the SW and the people will not cede their jewel to Federal govt. control. Lagos is SW, SW is Lagos. |
Kdon2:So you have seen his health report. |
There is no way of knowing which candidate will be best for the country. Each voter has to form an opinion about who they think would be best, and vote accordingly. There is no guarantee the likes of the VP, Akinwunmi, Peter Obi etc will turn around Nigeria's fortune if they become President. |
This is serious. Check the crowd's reaction to Tinubu outside Eagle Square. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hLPnHPvrSs The cabal will have to think twice about stopping him from contesting. |
2Ways:It's there in the video. He clearly said the President should come and campaign for his candidate on Saturday. Saturday is all about Eagle square. |
It's all very confusing to say the least. I thought Fayemi was in cohoot with some elements of the Aso Rock cabal. Now, he's challenging Buhari to campaign for his Chairmanship candidate. Also why would Mr Buhari, an outgoing President from the NW be trying to foist a National Secretary on SW APC leaders. I think Mr Buhari doesn't really care if APC survives or not after him. He just wants his way or no way. |
raymondhillmimi:Good advice. If he doesn't want to do business (not everyone can!), he should build a bungalow that he can complete in 2 - 3 years. No one has ever gone wrong by cutting their coat according to their size. |
That last picture though. Tinubu looks like someone that's very disappointed in Mr Buhari. Almost a case of '...after everything I went through to get you here... you're scheming and putting every obstacle present in my way'. |
oshaosha2014:Nigerian offices/workplaces are a hot bed of infidelity by married men and women. So, are you going to campaign for women to be barred from work? Every policy should pass the test of proportionality. I won't be surprised if the proportion of married women in NYSC engaged in illicit affairs is no more than the proportion of married women doing so in the wider society. So why this totally unnecessary intervention by the government. |
lonelydora:Infidelity is a private matter between couples. It is not the responsibility of government to police fidelity. This sort of policy puts Nigeria in the same bracket as say, Pakistan. Married men in NYSC most likely cheat more than their female counterparts. So why is the govt targeting the females. Typical African patriarchal subjugation of women. |
Women's fight for independence in Africa is going to be a very long battle. The little freedom they have, men can take it away from them any time. Why are married men not required to serve in the State where their wife is resident. |
Dear Governor, You are doing well, but that suit is not the best for a professional business outing. A business suit is typically 2-buttoned, as you will see with Mr Dangote and Gate. And your lapel is designed? Please leave that to musicians and others in the arts and entertainment industry. A one button suit jacket is more suited to evening or special/party events. Many designers in Lagos have a tunnel vision around single-button male suit jackets and over designing . |
Mofun:I was recently at OAU for the first time in a few years, and the place looks eerily different. Lacking in any visible energy and vibrancy, it seems the students and academic staff are just going through the motion. They look beaten. May be it's a reflection of the dire state of the country. Most people are simply tired. OAU is nothing like it used to be. |
Thank you bro. |
3 or 4 years ago when Buhari was at the peak of his powers, Dangote would probably not have said that in such a public place with Buhari seated. However, and inevitably, power and influence is now draining from Buhari with just 1 year left of his reign. That's why some Governors, including El Rufai are openly threatening to revolt. Buhari will do well not to endorse anyone for the Presidential primaries, and safeguard his authority, because ultimately many of his appointees and APC politicians will defy him and vote for who they think will serve their personal interest. |
We4all:So married women should give up their right to work because of toxic fellow employees. If they give up banking, should they also give up nursing, civil service, and in fact all trades and professions in order to satisfy insane bullies. Even little girls hawking stuff on the road are subjected to sexual bullying and harrassment. Women want to work and will insist on their right to do so in an atmosphere of respect without toxic people making their lives hell. |
A friend called earlier today saying 'it's happening again'. Apparently, she's been given a query for not bringing enough customer deposit to the bank she works for. 2 weeks ago, in a staff meeting, her female bank manager told her ' you're beautiful with a nice body, but you don't know what you are doing'. She claimed my friend was not useful to the bank. In other words, use your body to bring in deposits. Yet, she's aware that my friend is married. Not that her behaviour would be justified if my friend was single. Prior to this episode, the lady bank manager would give my friend phone numbers of politicians & wealthy people to 'call' for deposit, with virtually all of them propositioning my friend. And then the manager would blank my friend for several days once she received feedback from the men that my friend did not 'cooperate'. The bullying that some employees, especially female bank employees go through is incredible. |
I didn't see the Kperogi article. Any chance you can add a link to it in your thread? |
fregeneh:Both - Kekemeke and Omisore. Bottom line is that Tinubu has pre-eminent control over APC affairs in the region. If you control APC in Lagos (where the money & largest population is), and you have substantial influence over the party in Oyo, Ogun, and Osun, and also have reasonable influence in Ondo & Ekiti then you more or less have an implicit majority in every decision to be taken in SW APC. That's what Tinubu has. |
fregeneh:Ekiti is the smallest by population/voting strength; by economy; by political voice in the region etc |
Penguin2:Kekemeke is actually a Tinubu guy and was Chairman of Ondo APC before and immediately after Akeredolu won his first term election. Because Tinubu supported another candidate in the APC primary against Akeredolu, when Akeredolu won and became Governor, Akeredolu forced the pro-Tinubu Kekemeke APC Exco out and put his own people. As it seems Akeredolu and Tinubu have now patched their differences, the 2 men have agreed to bring Kekemeke back into the picture. Fayemi's exaggerated portrayal in national politics belies his insignificant profile in SW politics. Now that his former 'anti-Tinubu' pal, Akeredolu, appear to have returned to the Tinubu camp, his situation is even worse. Ekiti is the smallest state in the SW. If a position is zoned to the SW, how much voice can a Governor of Ekiti have? Your suggestion that Fayemi will not accept what are effectively Tinubu's choices, raises the question...what can Fayemi do? The honest answer is, nothing. Fayemi is seriously mistaken forming 'big Governor' and plotting with certain elements in Abuja, when in his own region, virtually no one knows him outside Ekiti. |
