People are just making a mountain out of a molehill as far as this tinubu saga is concern. The two people at loggerhead with one another is tinubu and oyegun. If I want to define them by their region I will say south south vs southwest. So I still don't know why political infants are painting this saga as a 'tinubu vs buhari' or north vs southwest fight. I will never support impunity in whatever form and that's why tinubu's call for oyegun resignation will never be supported by party loyalists.

If tinubu have some kind of disagreement with oyegun over the coming ondo election, what is expected of him was to have a private talk with oyegun to see how they could settle the problem amicably. Running directly to the pages of newspapers to call for oyegun's resignation was simply silly. Oyegun whether tinubu like it or not is a heavyweight in APC, he have his own loyalists, he is a power broker in the APC. So I don't see how tinubu will want to dictate to such a person.

And again what I clearly observe with this tinubu brouhaha is that nobody is talking about the real issue that caused all the little drama in APC, rather mischievous elements have turned the entire drama to ridicule tinubu by reminding him about how they warned him about forming so sort of unholy alliance with the north. And the last time I checked, upcoming ondo election caused the disagreements, and Mr oyegun is not from the north. So I still don't understand.

Political noise makers and attention seekers (like FFK and Thugnor from Ekiti state) are just using a very normal situation among politicians to create confusion where there's none.
You'll recall in early days of this despensation, 1999-2004, when several political frictions occurred among the ruling party big boys. There were no oppositions, they would say it's a "family affair". No permanent enermies or friends only permanent interests.
Now, with the very well battle for leadership in opposition going on months, trouble fabricators are stirring agitators to increase tention.

Coz men like light skin gayls... U been pushing this type of girls to strip off their true color...




Only if y'all men appreciate dark skin ladies & stopped judging them coz of their skin... Maybe the bleaching company is not existing ryt now...

But I thought ladies say they don't dress to get guy's attention.
Aren't you ladies so confused? When guys complain of ladies dressing seductively to arouse guys una go deny. Now you're blaming guy's for the reason you bleach yoir skin.

Flets:
Are you being sarcastic or you are for real?

Am for real, not sure anymore because Heartland has passed thro private ownership in recent years.

smogup:
Buhari is a failure

Suffering from Buhariasis...

Flets:
Alhaji Rochas strategically executing his mandate in Imo state just like Buhari is doing at the National Level.

By 2019, Nigerians would have learnt their lessons. But I doubt if they will cos Nigerians are one lousy and vulnerable lot.

Is Heartland fc Imo state govt owned?

This leaves Enugu Rangers as the only Club never to have been relegated in Nigerian Football league history.

Chukazu:
We can argue but it won't take us anywhere.
what I posited is not just based on stadium concessioning, but the overall performance of the minister which has been the most abysmal of any minister, little to mention the charade that pervaded our outing at the RIO OLYMPICS.

The thread was not on his well-known abysmal performance but on the decision about stadia concessioning.
He didn't make that decision but his predecessors did and he is going to implement it and is a step in the right direction.

kernigsloan:
You can work in a hospital. Most hospitals have a nutrition and dietetics unit.
Part of ur job description will be to advice on the best type of meal a patient with a particular condition should tk. eg u'll be d 1 to advice a patient with DM on his/her nutrition.
For those saying she should open a restaurant, a dietician is someone who studies about human nutrition and diet. Dieticians are the only healthcare professionals licensed to assess and TREAT nutritional problems.
This is different from some one who studied home economics

This post is very correct. Op take note.

Chukazu:
the most confused minister in our life time

The minister is not the one who is confused but you, because you have no idea of what is been discussed.
All the stadiums used for the premier league go search for who own them and who operates them.

Dubai: Nigerians May Not Have The Opportunity Of Traveling To Dubai Due to Crimes
POSTED ON SEPTEMBER 23, 2016

dubai-marina-dubai-uae-2

Nigerians may not have he opportunity to enter Dubai again ! As it stands now, the Emirati Government is considering a total ban on Nigerians entering UAE after the 2015 travel restrictions. This is due to the high crime rates Nigerian nationals perpetuate in UAE. As the Dubai City official claimed. Nigerians wanting to travel to Dubai either for holidays or business may have to put their travel plans on hold as it stands now. Dubai, a city state in the United Arab Emirates has banned Nigerians from coming in. This is as a result of high crime rates perpetuated by Nigerians living in Dubai.


A week ago, an armored bullion van was attacked in the city by men believed to be Nigerians. This unconfirmed report has it that 80% of the robbers were Nigerians and in the process one Emirati law enforcement agent(Police) lost his life.

In the same vein, reports have it that , about 50 Nigerian girls were rounded up in the suburban areas of Dubai on the account of prostitution. Dubai, frowns at prostitution and considers this a crime. The Emirati Government re considering a total ban of Nigerian entering their beautiful city. No more wedding in Dubai, No more Holiday selfies in Dubai as it is. Unconfirmed reports have it that the City officials are no more comfortable with the presence of Nigerians.

Around 2015, Dubai has banned single and unmarried Nigerians less than 40 from visiting the country except the person is accompanied by someone who is above 40 and bears the same surname with them. It is assumed that the Nigerian High Commission in UAE will wade into this and sort out this travel restriction.

Obasanjo started a major cassava processing and exports programs around 2000-2006. What happened to the programs and huge funds invested in it?
Every program started in any administration it usually ends with same administration even in the same party.
The next govt starts their own to make their own money.

No offence, she still looks bush.

Whether or not she looks bush thats your envious opinion. She didn't apply for her fame or increasing wealth, those much coveted and sorted after by the "more glamorous", politicians hunting girls have to sleep around in high places for.

We have the worst set of youths in the world. Easily deceived on the platter of tribe,religion, and political party.

When we cant stand and take the bull by the horns we would always be taking for a ride.

If we had this sets of youths in the 1960's we wouldn't have gotten independence. They where in there early 30''s when they had the chance to rule, now they are 84 and still ruling.

This old fools have ruled us for the past 40years. And yet they are still at the corridor of power. The dictate what happens. They sumtymz try there luck to see if power would be given back to them.

If given a chance the likes of babangida and Obasanjo would want to rule again, you know why ... because they know the youths are fools.

The day we get wiser and take up the responsibility of this nation the country would become a better place for you and I

You have a very valid point here.
Reading threads and comments here daily will give anyone a clear view of the mentality and mindset of the so-called leaders of tomorrow.
Youths with beer gist mentality, shallow in thoughts, weak understanding and poor in historical and present day knowledge. Who will give them leadership?
Go and see Universities students unionist they just push their to front in other to get political association with prominent politicians and collect mobilization funds from politicians. They use their fellow students to attain their own interests.
Dino Melaye did exactly that. You see what he using his constituency funds to do.

davodyguy:
Rubbish talk.

Osunbor of PDP took over from Lucky Igbenedion in 2007, only for him to be sacked by the court, paving way for Oshiomole to become Governor in 2008.

Who started rigging in Nigeria?

You kids of these days, forget history so so soon

Don't mind these teenagers, they think the day they started seeing and hearing things is the day the world started.
Oshiomhole is far more diligent and smarter than 90% of Nigerian politicians. People thinks he just talks like politicians normally do.
They failed to look back at his days in NLC, how he organised and led Labour in regularly mobilizing the nation against Obasanjo govt. Labour hasn't been the same eversince he left and they haven't replicated his leadership.

Big lie, he may just have snapped that picture and upload it on social media with that name

Please read this "experiment" by a "smart lady" and share you opinion.

I’ve always been “the smart one.” I get really excited for things like NPR’s “Science Friday” and when Charlie Rose has a fascinating guest. I have a terminal degree, have taught college, and once on a date I casually used the word “symbiosis” in a conversation right before I launched into a detailed discussion about plate tectonics and subduction zones.

On top of all that, I look like the stereotypical sexy librarian, glasses and all, which I have owned and feel is a positive attribute. So you’d think that with all these brains and the fact that I look halfway cute, and can confidently talk about literature, politics, history and seismic activity, that I would have had men falling all over me, right? Yeah, no.

I have a notoriously poor record with men. My pre-married dating history sounds like a Shakespearean tragedy. If my single life were a romantic comedy, I would have been the quirky sidekick who never got the hot guy.

Once men went out with me a few times, they’d usually dump me for some chick they met at the gym who worked as the shot girl in a nightclub for a living, and then they’d tell me they wanted to stay friends because I was “interesting.”

My mom always said that men were intimidated by me because they realized they had to “bring it” a little more to impress me. My intellect presented more of a challenge. I wasn’t “easy” like the Fun Girls and being around me required more of an effort.

That’s why I decided to conduct an experiment. I decided to dumb myself down, to pretend to be a little more of a “Fun Girl” to see if I would attract more men.

Before I met my husband, I was a regular on a popular online dating site, so my first step was to remove all signs of intelligence from my profile and add more sexy pictures. I kept my descriptions brief and as cliché as possibly without making myself gag.


Yes, I even said that I loved long walks on the beach and some nonsense about spontaneous travel. I deleted the whole section about how much I loved books and science, and within an hour my inbox was filled with messages, whereas before I was lucky if I got one message per day. My experiment was working already.

I responded only to college-educated professionals — your standard, clean-cut types that my mom approved of. I wondered if smart men (the kind I liked) really preferred dumb women, so in emails, I used a lot of smiley faces and kept my responses short and cutesy. On the phone, I made sure to giggle and not to expound or have strong opinions on anything.

The result? I could have gone on three dates a day. That’s how many men asked to meet me in person.

I also noticed that before, my dates would usually offer to meet over coffee but now men suddenly wanted to take me out for drinks and were quite insistent that alcohol be involved in our dates.

In person I bit my tongue, smiled and said “ohmygodwowthatissoamazing” way too much. I feigned ignorance on current events, culture, and pretty much everything, and what I realized was that the men I was dating seemed to get off on “teaching” a woman, showing her the ways of the world, and exposing her to supposedly new things, thus creating a dynamic where the man is in a superior position and the woman is clearly subordinate and relying on the man for guidance and information.

Except, no. Not to mention, three-quarters of these dudes had no idea what they were even talking about. Plus, they all seemed intent on getting me drunk, which wasn’t happening because I was too smart for that.

Many second and third dates were offered, and I began to notice a new and interesting phenomenon. The men who liked me because they thought I wasn’t smart quickly proved to be insecure jerks. They made sexist comments, spoke critically of others, began to act jealous, and revealed that they were all control freaks who had no interest in being challenged on anything.

Bizarrely, several of them outright asked me if I’d had cosmetic surgery and if I’d be willing to go under the knife (uh, no). Oh, and they were still trying to get me drunk, which a male friend explained to me was because they were trying to get a fast-pass to sex.

Mission immediately aborted.

It’s not that men like dumb women. What’s actually going on here is that a large percentage of men want to have a good time with a woman (which includes sex) without having to do a lot of work. These guys aren’t looking for wives. They want a woman on their own terms and they want her superficially, so they can use her as an object to feel better about themselves.

It’s less about intelligence than it is about disposability. Plus, they don’t want their egos challenged. Good riddance to them. Sure, I could get a lot more dates if I dumbed myself down, but they sure weren’t with quality men, so what was the point?

Disheartened, I went off the dating site, and a couple months later I met the man who would become my husband. On our first date I was completely and utterly myself. We skipped the small talk and went right for the big important topics. We debated. We shared equally, because we both had different areas of expertise, and we even laughed because we had similar dry senses of humor.


“I like you because you have opinions and passions that are your own,” he told me. “I like that you can show me new things, and that I can talk to you about so many different topics.”

RIYADH/DUBAI: A decision to slash ministerial pay by a fifth reflects Saudi Arabia’s resolve to nudge its citizens into tolerating a fall in living standards at a time of low oil prices. Along with reductions unveiled on Monday that will affect all public sector workers, the cuts also flag to financial markets before a debut sovereign bond issue that the oil exporter is committed to budget discipline.

The measures appear largely to formalize savings introduced ad hoc in parts of the state apparatus since last year, but their announcement on state media, which gave an official start date of Oct 1, is not without political risk. In a country that has no elections and where political legitimacy rests partly on distribution of oil revenue, the ability of citizens to adapt to reforms aimed at reducing oil dependence and improving self-reliance is crucial for stability.

Some Saudis appeared prepared to accept austerity following the signal that ministers would share the pain. “Most of my colleagues are furious, but I see it as normal at such times,” said Fahad, 27, a post office worker, who said his monthly take-home pay, including benefits, would fall to 4,800 riyals ($1,280) from 6,000. “The country has given us a lot in the past and it is our duty to show solidarity now.”

However, with about two thirds of working Saudis employed by the state, skepticism surfaced on social media. “The beginning of the end!” tweeted a writer using the name Nashat Haider. “Not a rise in efficiency, it’s a rise in poverty” wrote Alsheikhah Madawi.

The ruling Al Saud family has often hesitated to enact reforms that may stir unrest among Saudis, but with oil prices stubbornly low, it is now pushing changes to revitalize the private sector, slim the state, and get more Saudis into work. A lack of taxes, a big public sector, subsidized fuel and abundant government spending are benefits that officials have long cautioned are unaffordable, yet are seen as a right by many citizens because of the kingdom’s high oil output.

But energy prices have plummeted since mid-2014, causing steep declines in income and putting economic growth at risk. It was unclear how far the steps will trim a budget deficit that reached a record $98 billion last year.

In any case the wage cuts for ministers and others “of ministerial rank”, while unlikely to win big savings by themselves, appear specifically aimed at deflecting public anger by targeting those at the apex of society, economists said. The foreign exchange, credit default swap and international bond markets were little moved by the news. But initial reaction on regional stock markets was negative, as traders concluded the cuts would curb consumers’ disposable income. Saudi Arabia’s main stock index closed down 3.8 percent.

“LISTEN AND OBEY”
Others on Twitter expressed their acceptance of the cuts to wages and other financial benefits that can form a large part of Saudi’s overall income. The hashtag “We are all today King Salman’s sons” was trending, and the message “Listen and Obey”, as the main duty of citizens towards their rulers, was widely shared.

Abdulaziz Al-Askar, a legal adviser, tweeted that Saudis’ ancestors swore allegiance to the Al Saud based on Islam and not on the basis of “allowances and bonuses”.

Nawaf Al-Otaibi, 42, who does civilian work for the Ministry of Defence, said the cuts would help to address long-term economic pressures and ease further sweeping reforms, which include the partial privatization of oil giant Saudi Aramco. Reduced benefits would result in belt-tightening, he suggested.

“I get about 20 to 30 percent of my total income from these extras, so I’ll have to cut back on spending – maybe put off some plans for the future but mostly just cut back on daily spending for the family, on the kids, things like this,” he said. From an international perspective, the measures constitute a an attempt to convey the government’s seriousness about tackling the budget deficit, economists say.

Apostolos Bantis, head of emerging market corporate credit research at Commerzbank, said the payroll and benefit cuts were “trying to send a signal to investors that the government is serious about reforms and that it’s ready to even touch something sensitive and political”.

“The government is trying to give a signal to the local population that they need to tighten their belts and that this is starting from the top.”

NOTHING OFF LIMITS
Monica Malik, chief economist at Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank, said she estimated that savings from the cuts would amount to less than 1.5 percent of gross domestic product (GDP). But she added that the message was stronger than the anticipated savings. “Nothing is off bounds for potential fiscal reforms and it shows ongoing momentum to narrow the fiscal deficit. This is especially ahead of the expected international bond issuance,” she said.

NCB Capital estimated allowances accounted for about a quarter of the government’s total salary bill last year, which was 38 percent of its overall budget of about $260 billion. But it is not known how far the latest measures will curb government spending on allowances, which Saudis say are many and varied. More substantial ways of plugging the budget gap include a $10 billion loan obtained from international banks in May and Saudi Arabia’s debut international bond issue expected in October. Bankers expect it to be worth a minimum of $10 billion.

The central bank said on Sunday it had decided to inject around 20 billion riyals in time deposits into the banking system and introduced two new maturity periods for repurchase agreements, aiming to help boost financial stability in the local market. – Reuters

The op is complaining that CMD is responsible for their ordeal yet people saying something else.
Bad management is bad management. Everything is not govt, people are given responsibilities based on their competences to run organisations but they wreck it and blame govt.

Common sense is shaping all team members ideas towards a common goal.

APC should quit politics of bitterness, joor.. .

My ambition is not worth the blood of any Nigerian.

Now that your fee dee fee has been trashed you want Obaseki to bring in saboteurs into his cabinet?
What a logic. The opposition who staged their entire campaign on hate and character assassinations?
Same way IPOB campaigned hatefully against Buhari only for them to start crying for key ministerial appointments. Una no get shame oh.

Gaddafithe2nd:
Oga don't say what you don't know. I was a presiding officer in Ovia Northeast ward 2 unit 5. The election was free and fair. INEC gave we Corps members a mandate that we must not make mistakes. There shouldn't be inconclusive election. Many Edo people attested to it that the election was free and fair.

The people crying more than the bereaved on Edo elections are neither from Edo, do not live in Edo has nothing to do with Edo. Their hatred is sucking them like Ganja does to its smokers. As drugs does to its addicts they are so hooked on hatred that they look for opportunities to sniff more.
Ondo elections is the weed to sniff and recharge their hate batteries.

Lilimax:
Happy independence Nigerians! As an average Nigerian, we may say what are we celebrating sef? Yes we may not see tangible development as a nation but for the fact our country Nigeria is not at war is worth celebrating. Our leaders have not done much but God has the interest of this nation at heart May God bless Nigeria @ 56 .

God bless your soul. Its people conceive they see..
Peace is with you and it 'll continue to follow you.

So APGA has had such a high opinion of themselves in Edo? What a joke
They want sympathy cry with PDP...i sorry for una self deceit.

Donpressman:
Shut up with your sore loser ish.... The election was rigged. Even AOC members know that. So whatz the fuzz all about. They won Yes.. They rigged Yes too.... Suffering continues in Edo Resounding Yes too..

Another bad loser spotted.

dejavubobo1:
it just a birth of a new godfather.. We keep moving in circles in this country

next political office holders must seek support from oko-lara.
Naija I hail thee

No, no leader succeeds without a successor, thats why Oshio did not to become a new god father. Ize-Iyamu left APC because Oshio wouldn't gaurantee him automatic ticket. If you saw his campaign it was all hate-induced anti Oshiomhole. He had nothing to say about his rival Obaseki.
Those old PDP moguls are principalities to the state without a sense of humility and humanity.
Oshiomhole has changed the landscape and new power blocks had to emerge.

CSTR2:
Pay me? Bleh.
This kind of politics is far from where I stay. I don't think I would ever want to come back to Nigeria let alone vote there.
Goodluck.

Yet, you speculated as if you were there or knew about payments with certainty.

CSTR2:
If he was that good, he would have won with a landslide without needing to pay people openly for votes.

l

Did they pay you, how much? If not how you take know say they paid anybody?
Drunker man's hypothesis?.

This is evidence of despiration, full results have not been declared yet, they have resorted to violence.
It's a premeditated action "if we don't win, we will fight" syndrome.

Please take a little time to watch this video. .
