Go figure with ur brain on! Ok?

No true, who was he b4 he became governor. Yea, about his reputation. We all knew what his reputation was...

sometimes this man blows hot and sometimes he blows cold like a woman in her menstrual cycle, he must be manic-depressive,........am not saying women are crazy shs but una sabi wetin i mean

BabaAlabi: The road to redemption is very very far. No hope for Nigeria.

Its the mind set, the mentality is poor and hungry people will do almost anything. Just imagine who they want the young one to immulate. Its just like OBJ coming out to say zimbabwe elections where Mogabe was reelected was free and fair and mins later the american security chief come on CNN to say it was full of electoral malpractice. U ask urself then, where is Nigeria heading to?

Governors of the 36 states of the federation may lose control of over N2.2 trillion revenue, which accrues to the 774 local government areas (LGAs) and oil-producing communities from the Federation Account yearly, if the planned autonomy for LGAs and the clamour for direct payment of the 13 per cent derivation funds to oil-producing areas is actualised.

In the last one year alone, all the state governors have controlled an estimated N1.53 trillion revenue, being the LGAs' share of allocation from the Federation Account. Each month, billions of naira are paid directly to the states instead of the councils, data gathered have shown.

In addition, the governors of oil-producing states have been controlling more than N565.86 billion paid to them as the 13 per cent derivation funds, rather than the oil-producing areas as stipulated in the country's constitution.

These figures are besides the other allocations accruing to the LGs and oil communities from draw-downs from the Excess Crude Account (ECA), which, when added together increase the revenue of the LGs and the oil communities currently controlled by the state governors by another N200 billion.

The House of Representatives on Wednesday, after its votes on the amendment of the 1999 Constitution, granted autonomy to the local governments by altering the contentious Section 162 of the 1999 Constitution, which abrogated state joint local government accounts and empowers each local government to maintain its special account to be called "Local Government Council Allocation Account".

The lower chamber's move has now put elected local government chairmen in direct control of their allocations from the federal government rather than the state governors.

The Senate has, however, rejected autonomy for the third tier of government, an action that has been condemned by some prominent Nigerians and groups.

Although most states of the federation are opposed to autonomy for the LGs, the Sokoto State government has described it as welcome development.

Pls can someone confirm this with a link. I just came across it but couldn't find it yet in a Nigerian daily. Mod pls front page if you will.

ywans, let the game begin

antartica: It is not everybody that is so desperate for meat to the point of eating baboons.Those that crave for meat like that are the incapable that can't domesticate mere chickens,sheep,cows or goats in abundance.

really, u think so. Go to china, they domesticate chicken and the rest u mentioned but still eat frogs. I wonder if u have any point in wht u said at all?

can only work in an african country but what do u expect, when an african is richer than his country, he sometime starts feeling like a God

bennyraz: if you all (ibos) feel aggrieved about the matter, you can all seek redress at a law court and lets see who will win the case instead of nagging around the whole of NL

funny u thought that would work in a country like naija

sonyjacobs: This people sabi karate well well. see that policeman face

no be then thez teach tai chi? Make dem carry dey go. Thats why they call them and Niegria third world countries. The elected official in Italy that was called a monkey cos she is dark, why didn´t she roughen her colleague on. Cos she knows if she does, he will sue her for assault.

Ngige is serving himself, funny enof none of u people saw it till now. And I heard someone talk in anoda thread that they want him to win Anambra. Ngige will lose his state, the only way he wins is if the election is not free and fair.

what are thez waiting for, their meat taste like bush meat. Look at meat wasting there and these people are shying away

oshyno: When you think it will get better for Ngige it turns South again. He just shot himself on the foot by endorsing this inhuman act of Fashola simply bcuz u are frm same party. Dumb move IMO.

still dwelling on it, or fuelling the already sore situation is like pouring coal or petrol in2 fire. Ma brodas, let it drop....Allow the situation 2 die a natural death, atleast we now know who is who and where we now stand with most of these politicians...

WTF!!! this one is one 4 dog lovers

em, and someone here was dancing alinco that fashiola is a miracle man. Imagine, look at the initiative a private person too to remedy things, make life better for his community. What is Fashiola doing about that bridge. Fashiola supporters, we want anwsers. I have alwazs known Fashiola was to overrated (cos na only flower in the plant). Another look at the bridge shows its not too stable and people in that area would really need a stable solution.

Maxymilliano: Two bridges, one city

The dual face of a mega city; decadence and opulence.

This is the pako-bridge that you must cross with your car if you are going from Igando to Ipaja-Ayobo, around the Ikotun area of Lagos State. The bridge was built by a resident of the community after the government failed to provide a link road between the two areas making it difficult for residents to visit each other in spite of the short distance separating them.

There is a swamp that lay between the two communities so residents had to travel long distances to gain access to their adjoining areas.

The suspension bridge named Alexandra-Admiralty Link bridge is located in Lekki, Lagos and the project was handled by Julius Berger.

The construction of Admiralty-Alexander (Lekki-Ikoyi) link bridge was conceived as a solution to the problem of the perennial traffic bottleneck on Lekki-Epe Road, particularly around the Elegushi Round About and Lekki Phase I.

"The bridge is designed to serve as a strategic by-pass and to reduce the travel time along Falomo Bridge, Alfred Rewane Road, Independence Bridge and Ahmadu Bello Way.

Acidosis: He said alot without making any point..



Fashola (SAN), did you deport Igbos? Yes/No?

U should have asked it like this. Fashola (SAN), did you or did u not deport Igbos? Please answer Yes/No alone? Don´t wait to think about it.

utenwuson: Sheikh Abubakar Shekau, leader of the violent Islamic sect, Boko Haram, has reportedly been shot and deposed by members of his own sect, Boko Haram.
Abu Zamira Mohammed, who is the sect’s leader negotiating with the federal government has been appointed as the new leader by the group’s Shura Council.
The group also said that its ceasefire declaration is working, pointing out that there has not been any suicide bombing since the declaration. It noted its condemnation of the Yobe massacre where 40 students were killed, adding that some politicians now commit murder and ascribe it to Boko Haram
On the Kano blasts last Monday, which led to the death of about 45 people, the group blamed it on federal government’s tardiness in responding to the ceasefire agreement.
A joint report published yesterday, by Dr. Stephen Davis, a conflict resolution expert and an adviser to the last three Nigerian Presidents and Phillip van Niekerk, President of Calabar Africa, a strategic advisory company focusing on Africa, and former Editor of South Africa’s Mail & Guardian newspaper, in the US based online newspaper, huff ingtonpost.com, quoted one Imam Liman Ibrahim, spiritual leader of Boko Haram, as saying that "the change in leadership was prelude to peace negotiations with the federal government."

what of kano like two nights ago?

fine, so lets see if the law charges her as a minor or as an adult. this will now determine where the law stands on what does hypocrites did in that hollow chamber

who will see these pix and still want nigeria to fight anoda war...God forbid

Well since there is no economic forum. I decided to post this here. I intially mistakening posted it in elsewhere but looks like people didn't see it there.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZEz99ToAaw&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Mod move it to front page cos its important people see it.

Crassus: no one is talking about this thread. but you would find people arguing about who owns lagos

SHAME!!

u are right. looks like I'll move it to politics

sincerenigerian: The Amaechi guy is eloquent, charismatic and presidential. He looks calm, in-charge, and knowledgeable. He has his facts to issues being discussed.

Amaechi will make a good Nigerian President.

sorry but i dont agree. he obviously was well prepared for this and he seem to have a good understanding with the interviewer. all in all, this interview alone does not mean shit, its not enough to show how he would act in front of fire like if he was interviewed by madam amampour

[quote author=Aloy+Emeka]Everybody in Nigeria is looking for some form of recognition. Oba Of Umuahia kwenu! [/quote]its ok, tolerance is the only way forward..

Airforce1: This girl is crazy... Lmao

best to have an honest girl that has done all the doables and is ready to turn and settle down than a pretending angel who is a demon incarnate. Its best to always know where one stands with people..

lacum: but why are human beings like this? pls nairalanders, d headline is misleading. this must have been written by a non catholic to discrdit d church. indulgence does not mean forgiveness of sin but d forgivenes of d punishment due to sin. confession cannot be done online and will never be. pls read d article carefully and u will notice where it was said dat people will receive a plenary indulgence only when they follow d peogramme prayerfully and must have confessed their since to a priest. tks

Don't worry urself, let them throw their insults. This is not the first time the church has been in the lime light and it won't be the last. As long as what they say doesn't shake ur faith. U see, they all want and admire the catholic church, this is just their weird way of saying it.

Eko Atlantic: I'm not against this because of hundreds of crimes ibos bring from their states to SW, hence increasing crime rate in southwest.

The briton that was kidnapped in Lagos on Monday was the handiwork of the ibos, same with the wife of one honorable like that in one of the SW states.

U want to turn this thread into an ethnic bathering. Have fun, u will get what u wished for. Meanwhile let me take cover.

3/10

Symphony007: I have always found couples wether dating or married showering together just plain disgusting and going too far. Shower time for every human is suppose to be one the the most private of times? Why invite someone to share that salient moment with you, showers are private. The body is private. I'll fight with any girl i date or marry that suggest we do it. I just hate it so much and i know i am not alone. If you don't agree with me, luminate me on what you gain by showering with your partner.

if u've not done it b4, u can't undertand how it is. U need to practice it once and i bet u, u will be hooked like most people are now..

Enegod: gay alert!!!

na wah 4 u. Why are u here trying to make a fool of someone else? Free the man joo. Beside in concern u?

anoda fool out to seek attention. GEJ will contest, we will all see it and Nigeria will remain its shaky self. The country has had kwashiokor since the time of shagari's era and it's not a northern that would have the answers Nigeria's malady. Those people don't know where their asses are. Look at all their elites, very selfish hopeless people. All they like is to be revered by their constituents (to be called Rankadede) without doing anything. Look at Atiku, Yerima to name a few.

chino11: PORT HARCOURT — GOVERNOR Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State has asked a Rivers State High Court, sitting in Port Harcourt, to restrain the Chief Judge of the state from constituting any panel to investigate any notice of allegation presented by the House of Assembly, except the request is in compliance with sub-sections 2, 3 and 4 of Section 188 of the 1999 Constitution, as amended.

Counsel to Amaechi, Chief Lateef Fagbemi (SAN) in the suit, is praying the court to, among other things, set aside any attempt by less than 22 members out of the 32-member House to initiate an impeachment proceeding against him.

He is also praying for “an order of this court setting aside any notice of allegation to initiate the removal proceedings of the state Assembly, conducted in connection with the conceived removal from office of the claimant by less than 22 members out of the 32 members constituting the state Assembly.”
Gov Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State

He is also asking the court to declare as unconstitutional, any proceedings for his removal that may be conducted outside the “Rivers State House of Assembly/Parliament building situate on Moscow Road, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, which is the official address of the state Assembly for the conduct of the official and legislative duties of the House as unconstitutional, null and void and of no effect whatsoever.”

He is also asking for a declaration that any proceedings of the state House of Assembly, initiated by less than 11 member, which is one third of members of the House and passed or conducted by less than 21 out of the 30 members of the House, which is two third of the members of the House in connection or in relation to the commencement of impeachment proceedings against the claimant are unconstitutional, null and void and of no effect whatsoever.

Others are a declaration that in interpreting section 188 of the 1999 Constitution as amended, the phrase, members of the House of Assembly includes the members of the House of Assembly, who are on suspension from the House.

That they are not excluded in the computation of either one third or two thirds majority of the members of the House of Assembly for the purpose of exercising the constitutional powers to remove the claimant from office as governor of Rivers State pursuant to subsections 2,4 and 9 of section 188 of the 1999 Constitution as amended.

He is also asking for a declaration that any notice of allegation of commission of impeachable offences against the claimant signed by less than 11 out of the 32 members of the Rivers State House of Assembly with a view to activating or commencing the constitutional processes for the removal of the claimant from office as governor of Rivers State does not qualify as the one third of the 32 members of the House of Assembly contrary to the mandatory provisions of section 188(2) of the 1999 Constitution and is therefore null and void and of no effect whatsoever.

Counsel to the five anti-Governor Amaechi lawmakers, Mr Emanuel Ukala (SAN) applied to be joined in the suit, but same was opposed by Mr. Olusola Dare, who represented Fagbemi ( SAN).

Trial judge, Justice George Omereji adjourned the matter till July 30, for hearing of the joinder application.

why adjoun the matter, very soon he will be out of office so who cares unless he is hoping to leech the remaining government funds he has not yet had time to collect..
