Speaker is diverting attention! In the days of the military in power, a lot happened that we neither liked nor can query now. Military discipline is different from rule of law under democratic principles.
Same thing happened to Vatsa, OBJ and others. We wondered why Gideon Orkar wanted to tear our nation apart then by cutting off the core North. Now we know better. He must have acted out of frustration.
Honourable Speaker should focus on getting us out of the mess that we're in now, which OBJ once saved us from...at least on the debt issue.
This UGV (Unmanned ground vehicle) can carry food, water, ammo and of course a .50 calibre machine gun. Troops control it with a simple tablet and joystick.
It has no problem traversing rough terrain. It finds targets with an on-board camera. Troops are loving it.
Its a mobile platform that doesnt get fatigued. Doesnt need water, needs very little maintenance and is always in the fight. Its a great asset to have.

So BH and ISWAP can swiftly work hard to counter this unnecessary announcement or what? Why make it public?
Richy4: You don't know how this work buddy... << As you are studying, u will be allowed to work 20hrs a week as a student (except on holidays that u can work normal hours). << How many organization will be willing to offer a job to a student that puts in just 20hrs if not for hospitality industry?.. << They are graduates just about to get all papers right before getting into proper organization.. That's how it works .. << There are jobs but they are looking for people that can work more than 20hrs without restrictions..
In summary, you're better off with a Permanent Residency status to attract good job offers.
What are SE Senators and Reps doing about this? This lady needs help badly. I don't really understand what she did wrong but she deserves to be fairly treated. Why not put her on trial instead of making a mess of her life? Very sad.
Is this not war coming on strong? Are these bandits or well trained terrorists determined to take over our nation? Throw the water bill into the mix and it gets more scary. Hmmm!
A physically challenged lady, Ruth Matthew has finally admitted that she sometimes in 2019 sold her baby, Testimony whom she claimed got missing during a service at Mercy Land Deliverance Church, Warri Delta State and accused the lead minister, Rev. Jeremiah Fufeyin of having a hand in it.
She had widely publicised the so called case of her missing child in apparent effort to run down the revered man of God, his ministry and to attract indue sympathy from the public space.
She came to Abuja popular human right radio where she insisted that her baby missed in Prophet Jeremiah's Church, demanding "justice". The matter currently in court is being investigated by the police.
After successful negotiation with the buyers of her baby Testimony, she sent the unsuspecting little boy to meet them at the church gate while she stayed back during service watching from afar.
The buyers who came in Keke had zoomed off with Testimony to an unknown destination.
In a latest video, she confessed to lying against the pastor, retracting her earlier statement where she claimed that Prophet Jeremiah Fufeyin walked her out when she raised a complain about her purported missing child.
In the presence of her brother, Mr. Joshua Matthew, she confessed that she would have implicated herself if she makes a u-turn in her earlier statement about the so called missing child case.
One of the kids, Triumph when asked if Prophet Jeremiah was aware that his brother, Testimony was missing he said no. When further asked if Prophet Jeremiah was in any way involved in the case of his missing brother after his mother's plan to sell him was perfectly executed, Testimony also said no.
They also said that Prophet Jeremiah never walked them out of his office, contrary to a claim by their mother, who has demonstrated that she is a serial liar.
On the claim that she left her children with one Juliet, the church's security office from where Testimony purportedly got missing, her children again faulted her on that, saying they were never with Juliet.
aribisala0: It was not only her time that was questioned. Several others ran a personal best. So the questioning was of the TIMING and it was not just for her but for others who were setting personal or National records So this was not just about her. Let us retain perspective People(journalists) were asking a legitimate question. WHy are there so many records in this race. That is their job. Normally we tend to see that when the wind factor is above what is legal. That was not the case but their questioning was right . It was not just about Amusan in fact if the others had not set records too it might not have been an issue
Is it true that PO sent packing all civil servants who were not from Anambra state when he was the governor?
Did he truly "deport" non indigenes of Anambra for no tangible reason?
Did he say Yorubas must not be allowed to rise beyond a limit in Fidelity Bank?
Did he use State funds to improve his family business?
Was he caught with money in his boot?
Did he have a close relationship with the Akwuzu SARS boss accused of mass murder?
His personal history from his parents?
These are points being raised by people including South Easterners.
We need enough information as we have for BAT and AA. Sentiments and desperation for change must go along with caution and wisdom. Even if the negatives are true, the matters can be discussed from now with open minds. We can't afford another mistake at this point in time.
kimjongJezebel: Jakande ruled Lagos for just 4 years, from 1979 to 1983 when Buhari struck. Today, his fingerprints are still there for the public to see.
He established: Lagos State University Nigerian Institute of Journalism He completed General Hospital in Gbagada and Ikorodu. He built 20 Health Centres within the state He constructed over 30,000 housing units. Some of the housing units were in Amuwo-Odofin, Ijaiye, Dolphin, Oke-Afa, Ije, Abesan, Iponri, Ipaja, Abule Nla, Epe, Anikantamo, Surulere, Iba, Ikorodu, Badagry.
In order to fund the constructions, he increased the tenement rates and prices of plots of land in Victoria Island and Lekki Peninsula. He didn't increase it in places where the poor were staying so it won't affect them. He cared for the poor. He also increased processing fees for lotteries, pools and gaming licences. This increased internally generated revenue of the state. He refused to collect loans so the state won't be in debt.
He also started a metro line project to facilitate mass transit. Buhari later cancelled it when he took over power. When the Military Administrator of Lagos under Buhari approached the Head of State to reconsider the cancellation of the project as Lagos State would still be made to pay for it as per the contractual agreement with China. Buhari said “I don’t bloody care”. This is the major reason why people suffer daily in traffic in Lagos today. Jakande's foresight would have put Lagos ahead of other cities in the world in metro lines.
Jakande was later charged, prosecuted and convicted of TREASON by Buhari regime. NOT CORRUPTION OR STEALING OR BULLION VAN, but TREASON! When he was arrested and tried by the kangaroo tribunal, they had nothing else to charge Jakande with but Treason! Not stealing or misappropriation of funds or corruption or borrowing, but Treason.
Jakande did all he did in just 4 years without borrowing a kobo! Can any of the Lagos State governors even be regarded as being worthy to be ranked close to Jakande? 30,000 housing units in 4 years! 20 health centres. Oh, I forgot Primary and secondary schools too! He established 23 local Governments council which were disbanded by the military when Buhari sacked democracy.
Jakande estates, infrastructure and great works are still visible in Lagos till today. A man who did all those without borrowing or plunging the state into debt should be seen as the Father of Lagos!
Tinubu has not build any hospital good enough for him to use in Lagos but always traveling abroad for treatment. That's how bad health sector is today but they tell you he built Lagos ignoring Jakande. How unfair and unjust can people be jettisoning the good works of Jakande, who was not corrupt and ascribing it to Tinubu?!
Copied!
He constructed the Lekki - Epe Expressway. That led to the opening up of Lekki. The road terminated in VI years ago. We had to go through Ikorodu to get to Epe. I remember there were red and white buses like today's BRT that went as far as Epe.
Go check on history. Majority of what became Lagos' today, including Ikeja were under the Western region which Awolowo was overseeing. Ikeja was Awolowo's brainchild.
Only thing that differentiate the likes of Jakande and Tinubu from Awolowo was the fact that they were governors of Lagos state while Awolowo was the governor of the Western region.
True but most of the mainland was then under the Western Region. Lagos territory consisted of the Islands and Yaba/Surulere. Western Region started from Fadeyi area, therefore, Ilupeju, Matori and Ikeja Industrial estates and GRAs were created by Pa Awolowo.
thekokofacts: According to Prophet Ugochukwu who addressed newsmen in Abuja on behalf of his colleagues, he said they attended the event to honor Shettima whom he said helped the Christians while he was the Governor of Borno State.
Although Ugochukwu clearly stated that they did not represent Christian Association of Nigeria as they went to the event as ‘clergymen and pastors called by God to serve in his vineyard and bring his word to our communities.’
jumas: Hon. Shetima and Gov. Zulum, you professed to love Christians in Borno, tell the world why there is no CRK in Primary Schools but you sponsor IRK with the state money? Tell the world why you did not pick christians as your deputies? Tell the world why you deny the Southern Borno Tertiary instirutions apart from the missionary college of Education, what have you done in Southern Borno? Tell the world your stand on the recent demolished EYN Church that led to Luka's death? Zulum tell us why you imposed a muslim chairman on Chibok that is 90% christians? How many of your commisioners are christians? Is the religious fanatism you are bringing to Nigeria? Is this sectionalism, tribalism, nepotism you are bringing to the Nigerians?
Surprised! The case of Chibok is so sad. There's little awareness about all these.
Gov. Ortom hasn't done well but he clearly doesn't have the funding that is available to Borno. There are specific reconstruction projects funded by FG and World organisations in respect of Borno State. I don't know if such facilities were made available to Benue State.
etrange: Wow! I didn't know that. Do you have a picture or a brand name I can look up? We should be exporting that to the US, and Canada. I figured these countries love products made from ingredients that aren't home grown.
There's one from Tigernut Republic which is very nice and in different flavors.
