Where was NLC all through the public hearing?
So disappointing.

Good that Nigeria is out of the Church of England.

Honestly, it feels like most people dragging Nigerian churches haven't actually experienced the good ones. I have to give credit where it's due—back when I was a regular at RCCG, they were consistent with sharing hamper with food items, and Christ Embassy does the same. Many churches even distributed bags of rice and other food items this Christmas. Just because your local branch didn’t show up for you doesn't mean others aren't doing the work.

You're right. I attend an Anglican Church here in Nigeria. We give out food items regularly. This Christmas, we gave out food packs as usual. Members also give out clothes, pay hospital bills of indigent people, operate a free clinic, visit the prison and help the prisoners in relevant ways plus care for stranded kids and the elderly.

tax law they have sign into law by the president.

when they were making the law...the nlc didnt complain
when the bill went into 1st reading in the house of rep, the nlc didn't complain
when it went into seconding reading in the house of rep nlc didnt complain
when it went to the senate house, the nlc didnt complain
the president signed the bill, the nlc didn't complain

now that the bill is now a law...they are complaning

Abi o! Maybe we should try the law and amend as may be necessary as we go on.

slivertongue:
Yet the state collects tax from alcohol

That's what I find baffling.

A lot of unintelligent convo here....

Ijebu Ode will not enthrone his kind of person as a king. There are so many better qualified people that he can't measure up to. Money can't easily buy this type of honour in certain places. Besides, it's not the turn of the royal house that was earlier claimed he belongs to.

But then, lawyer must chop.

Why not Funky December?
Detty which comes from dirty isn't nice word for a beautiful event.

God bless him. He'll never be stranded nor lack anything good thing.

Natasha has done so well for her people. Not because of the rice but in terms of significant and meaningful impact on their lives. She has given out useful empowerment tools to artisans/traders including keke drivers, laptops to students and drones/equipment to institutions. She tries to focus on her people's needs and she satisfies them. She built schools, provided water, streetlight and hospital equipment plus other infrastructure like markets and housing.

I wish all Senators and Reps can do at least half of what she does. The economic impact on the rural communities will be wonderful.

Meanwhile, how is the LP Representative for Lekki performing? We hoped that LP office holders would be different but like the others, I'm yet to hear of his impact in the area.

I heard that she is blind now. Her last public outing was IBB's book launch. She couldn't even go out for public presentation during the event. She is obviously a very strong woman. Daughter of Ogbara in Ikorodu.

She was in Oshogbo recently at the commissioning of the hospital she built for the Osun State University medical school. God bless her more.

A bold, focused and strong woman indeed.

MRS Ahmadu Bello Way, VI indicates 739 as the selling price but I paid 43k plus to fill my tank from quarter tank. It seemed to suddenly jump from 32k to that with some manipulation by the attendant.

By my calculation, it means I bought about 60 litres into a tank that was a quarter full. That is ridiculous! People should try to do a simple calculation to be sure they're not being scammed.

Fuel station managers should also make sure that their POS functions well. All those "It doesn't select" , " no network" tales creates opportunities for transfers to personal accounts.

The North is refusing to catch up. How on earth is this considered a major intervention project? This should be a basic procedure to be carried out at their PHCs.

Thank God they all came back alive and well.

Why is he not being tried for murder when people were killed? I hope he won't end up with a light sentence.

The "you either make it or die trying" mugus. It's so annoying that our fellow citizens keep disgracing us everywhere. Not to mention the suspicion and queer looks sometimes when we present our green passports at foreign airports. Or the step aside for random check issues all because of our greedy brothers and sisters.

Add to that the fraudsters and scammers. May God touch their hardened hearts. May we all learn to stop idolizing and honouring criminals who are wealthy.

This is most disheartening! Many private hospitals are glorified clinics. They don’t really have the specialists required for complex situations. It's so sad. May God comfort her husband and family as her soul rests in peace.

Oftentimes, LASG Mother and Child hospitals and other public hospitals are far better than many private hospitals.

Oyo State hosts several universities, including
University of Ibadan (UI): A premier federal university located in Ibadan.
State-Owned Universities.
Emmanuel Alayande University of Education, Oyo (EAUE): Formerly a College of Education, now a comprehensive university.
Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), Ogbomoso: A joint state university.
The Technical University (Tech-U), Ibadan: Focused on technology and innovation.
Private Universities
Ajayi Crowther University, Oyo: A private university.
Atiba University, Oyo: A private institution in Oyo town.
Lead City University (LCU), Ibadan: A private university known for being one of the more expensive options.
Dominican University, Ibadan: A private Catholic university.
Precious Cornerstone University, Ibadan: A private university.
Other Institutions (Some may offer degrees)
The Polytechnic, Ibadan: A major polytechnic.
Oyo State College of Agriculture and Technology (OYSCATECH), Igbo-Ora: Offers agricultural and tech programs.
National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN): Offers distance learning.

I think Kola Daisi University is there too.

I pray that this works out perfectly.

People who kill and terrorise others deserve death sentence.

Christmas is here. We're yet to see the Catholic school children kidnapped from Papiri.

This is what NNPC should have done for Nigeria all these years. Make the refineries work and privatise by selling shares to Nigerians while FG maintains a reasonable percentage to avoid total loss of control.

Kudos to Dangote.

deji17:
This is serious o. The sack might have solved one problem, but what about the fears of many about Dangote refinery monopoly? Many sighted the Cement industry.
Again, some argues that others could set up refineries. But then, setting up a refinery is very capital intensive and with how big the Dangote refinery is and with so much cash at his disposal, how easy would it be for a new refinery to compete with him?

There are other refineries...just that they produce on a lower scale. It isn't his fault that NNPC that should compete effectively with DR has been blowing money on TAM without any meaningful results.

nedekid:
Last last he will be made ambassador for roadsafety, police or even nominated as country ambassador to represent naija abroad, after all if Reno omokri can make it, pella certainly can.

Funny but sadly our reality these days.

Same Kano hosts mass weddings for people who can barely look after themselves. What do they expect? Of course they'll have kids that they can't look after.

Hopefully there are ways that the application of Shariah can solve this problem.

yahoodetector:
Totally true! Everything about them were borrowed from other cultures.

This Ewedu and amala that they eat was actually copied from Ghana. I watched a video of where the Ghanian version of Amala was being prepared with a slimy soup...theirs (the Ghanians) looked more palatable and presentable than that of yorubas.

On the contrary, there are Yoruba descendants in Ghana. The Ga people for instance.

ERockson:
Alaafin has been the permanent chairman of the traditional ruler in Oyo state for long. If they want to start rotating it, They should reach a compromise and stop blackmailing the Alaafin and until there's recommendations to that effects.

It's been settled since the reign of his predecessor. It's rotational. There's no permanent Chairman.

Yet, the almajiris roam the streets. Even the free schools built by GEJ were abandoned. Ignorance is killing the North.

Thank God for the timely intervention. Very ridiculous move. He would have become an oga to his seniors who would now have to salute him.
Ko da rara.

MRS and AP will comply. Thanks to Dangote.

The problem can be solved if those in charge are so determined. The terrorists can't be far from the location where they strike. Drones exist for surveillance and other functions. 🤷‍♂️

Mirasteel:
That shooter served in IDF, don't forget to tell people that.

Probably to acquire military experience towards their main goal which has now manifested.
