[quote author=on a good day]if the basis of your judgement as i can see is based on portfolio,then it is such a myopic view,don't forget that soyinka has caused much harm than good to this nation,through introduction of sea dogs and subsequently other ppl took after him,and don't even give me that crap that it is not his intention blah blah blah....unless u r one of them,soyinka should learn to respect a constituted authority and thread with caution[/quote]When u say constitutional authority and u mean Dame Patience then I please beg to distance myself from that saying and thought but if u mean someone or something else I would then ask u to expalin urself.

tokunboh: I'm shocked at PEJ's audacity to take a swipe at Soyinka!.... This drama is really getting interesting and embarrasing...

Is Wole Soyinka God? He has betrayed the confidence most of us had in him. Sometimes we have to put respected people in their place when they cross the boundary of decorum and respect. Wole Soyinka should zip it! He needs proper dosage of flagil for his running mouth!!

Tell me, why shouldn't Soyinka say what he did. Why should the Prof. be insulted cos he said what many Nigerians thought but didn't have the liver to say. Would that now make people accuse him of idocrasy. Does he come out often to make such public statements,...no he does not. In as much as I support the Prof. he should have also remembered that one does not go to the market and exchange words with a market woman and expect not be drawn into a fight or an outright quarrel or better still too no one goes to a mud pit wearing white and expect to come home unstained.
Still, Soyinka never spoke directly to Mrs. Jonathan. He spoke to her husband and brushed her aside. Any intelligent person could have seen that in his interview but then Mrs. Jonathan being who she is won't and would prefer to bustle for a fight like her character and that is plain idiocrasy.

Am sure the artist sold his soul to the devil. Those works are fantastic..

Capnd143: But a glut of steel capacity in China may make it more economic to sell steel to Africa than to build new mills there. (Editing by Tim Cocks and Tom Pfeiffer)

All of u commenting but no one saw this Greek gift the writer mentioned. Check out, why would China build mills in Nigeria if they could just sell us their steel since they too just recovered new steel deposites

Demdem: Didn't Ngige defeat her during the senatorial election?

That is what it was na, senatorial elections. Governorship is a whole new ball game.

Networkmaster: I get your point my friend, maybe i listen a lot to people.
You know how it is, some people will keep telling you to go and marry from your home town and even quote
a portion of the bible in the old testament where such is advice.

Some would say, you should think of the old age time that most foreign women won't stay with you till the old age.
Just so many words and sometimes, it makes a man who have grown to love a foreigner goes back to his country to marry a wife.
I now realize choosing a wife is one of the difficult things to do in life.

That's why I make it a point of duty nefa to listen to what outsiders say about me especially when they open the bible and give me a passage supporting their sayings. Ma guy, even the devil knew his bible back to back and he proofed it when he tempted our lord.

Look, as long as u stand firm to ur family about ur feelings for Diana. They will let u be. Stop listening to people that have lived their lives and will probably not be there while u are leaving urs. I bet u that u will cry blood if u marry that chinyere vulture girl. U will regret it even more if u left Diana 4 her cos u were listening to people.

Am not saying u should turn ur back on ur people but what am saying is that since u are the one it the relationships with the two girl. Follow the one that u know and that knows u, the one that has been with u thru hard and soft, tough and smooth. I think we both know who am talking about,......its Diana. Ur family will have to understand and come to terms with that.

Besides, I know many Nigerians that married foreign women and their wives are still with them for years. Its left for u to show, mould and work on ur woman, beside its that not the reason she is called ur wife. Ma guy,...a word is enough 4 d wise,...I have spoken.

olokfor: Our correspondent learnt that the robbers allegedly snatched a motorcycle and shot a man in the area and were fleeing when a motorist knocked them down.

An eyewitness, who requested anonymity, said a bystander prevented them from fleeing as he pelted them with stones while they were attempting to stand up.

Other residents quickly joined the bystander and grabbed the weak robbers, beating them up to a pulp.
He said, “After the vehicle knocked them down while they were attempting to escape, we seized them and beat them to a pulp. The crowd grew larger and this attracted the attention of policemen.”

Our correspondent learnt that a team of policemen from Ikotun Police Station stormedthe scene and attempted to rescue the robbers but were overwhelmed by the mob.
It was learnt that policemen even fired gunshots into the air but the mob remained adamant.
A woman, who runs a bar in the area, said another team of policemen also arrived from Area M, Idimu, but the mob set the robbers ablaze.

The bolded text is so typical of this country. Ignorance is one of the problems Nigeria has and not just poverty and corruption. A country were human live means nothing.

I don't know why men would always have a canary with them and still go looking for a vulture they know would destroy them in the Forest. Tell me, is it the thrill of the chase or the euphoria of the unknown.

Let's dissect ur situation. U have a short lady u've been dating (the canary) who happens to be intelligent and is multilingual. Who u've been dating for how long? I would guess a few years. But then u are cheating on her with anoda girl from Nigeria (the vulture) who has already told u she has a boyfriend, but cos she lied to u she was a virgin ur dick stood-up cos u want to marry a virgin. Let me ask u, are u too a virgin? If she is not serious with the guy currently 4king her how do u think she would be serious with u? Look, every fool knows that Nigerian girls tell unsuspecting men that cock and bull story in the hope to keep them interested and it works.

If u know what's good for u. Face ur guinea girl (the canary) and run from the Nigerian one (the vulture). The Nigerian girl would obviously tear ur heart apart, since u have no experience at all about them.

mgbeketoto: Gooooooooooooooooooo NORTHERNERS!

Sit in one corner and have a GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD, LAST LAUGH as the SOUTHERN IJJJIOTS tear themselves apart. . . !
ONE NIGERIA. . .ONE SOUTH-SOUTH!

Mu che che che che che che

Forget BOKO HARAM. . .those 'things' ain't NORTHERNERS OR NIGERIANS. . . but terrorists sponsored by GEJ FROM CHAD AND NIGER REPUBLIC!

Don't u see, no northerner has come to comment so far. Am sure they are laughing so hard with their legs swing above their heads.

Esss: ***Grabs Popcorn***

Cant wait for Chukwuma Soludo and Dora Akunyili to step into this scene and shake this shiit up!

If Dora enters, I don't think Ngige has a chance. That woman is like a power house.

Let us see their faces. Who is boko haram?

Garri the 1st: GEJ is a disgrace to the office of the presidency. His greed for power will see him destroy the Nation and spill the blood of Nigerians.

1. Destroying the North by sponsoring Boko Haram and later sending in soldiers to finish what his BH people started.

2. Arming and financing ND militants.

3. Attempting to bring BH to SW.

4. Arming OPC and other secret cults.

5. Sending thugs and murderers to destabilize Rivers state...


And the list goes on...

So u believe this sahara report stories. Those people can lie to sell their mothers

Did anyone notice their Christian mothers arm,...that one na meat factory[i][/i]

oshyno: I will like the learned and most informed chaps to x-ray this issue bcuz d way it is going, with the backing of secury operative, the 5 lawmakers might just hv their way.

The confussion here is this : the 5 members first suspended 16 members thus making their number 5 enough to form a quorum.A quorum can be formed by 1/3 of d house. From the number present( 5 ) is it constitutional to say they are enough to impeach d speaker. Some one shud shed a light on this as regards what the constitution stipulate about impeachment and suspension.

It is not right and they are wrong. Just members can't suspend 16. The constitution is clear on that, it has to be by a majority vote and in this case 5 is a minority. The only other way out is if GEJ calls for state of emergency to protect live and property in Rivers

Eh, I was wondering. Why is Dame Patience Jonathan not in this picture. Em, I thought she too was an elected official.

seanet02: Jonathan's handwriting showing itself.
What an ediot this president is

Get ur facts right b4 u insult...

The rules and regulations of ACN is that:
1) No one should raise their heads when Asiwaju is talking.
2) Nobody should counteract on the directions or go against the orders of Asiwaju.
3) Only Asiwaju is allowed to hand pick a governor or any other elected position. This Includes any type of elected position in lagos state markets too.
4) What Asiwaju wants, Asiwaju gets.
5) If u 4get rules 1, 2 and 3. Refer to rule 4.

What is this? Why do we allow nonentities like this fool they call lai mohammed speak. From what he wrote above he is really going mad.

Here are we at it once more, proposing tall dreams while the infrastructures on ground rot due to lack of maintenance. Someone should ask that woman if we are going to borrow from China again to finance this dream? Last I check MM1 was still not a haven for travellers.

Symphony007: HOW RIVERS STATE SPEAKER RT. HON. DAN AMACHREE WAS IMPEACHED

The Rivers State lawmakers have impeached the Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly Rt Hon Dan Amachree . A new Speaker Hon Evans Bipi has been elected .However, the Speaker Dan Amacree denied on phone that he has been impeached .We gathered that immediately the speakers was impeached the Assembly complex broke into choas and staff fled as members fought and blows were exchanged.

A group also attempted to collect the mace of the assembly while some staffs who fled claim Gov Ameachi himself stormed the house and took the mace. In an attempt to put a lid on the situation ,Leader of the house, Chidi Lyod has said via call that there was no impeachment but that there is heavy security at the complex, staffs have fled.

Memwhile the Rivers State Commissioner of Information, Mrs Ibim Seminitari has called on channels TV to give the governors side of the story on the issue. She claimed that while the house was about to begin it’s sitting and the speaker was exchanging pleasantries with other members, the leader of the Pro GEJ lawmakers, Evans frustrated with their inability to Impeach the governor walked up to him and started slapping him, to which the speaker fought back and a massive fight erupted in the chamber between Pro Ameachi and Pro GEJ lawmakers. And then some hoodlums hired by the Pro GEJ group according to her jumped in from the gallery and joined the fight attempting to collect the mace.

Upon hearing this from the government house which is a few blocks away from the assembly, the governour set off in his motorcade to the assembly with his security and when he arrived the fight intensified with Pro GEJ lawmakers throwing things at the governor. Cars were destroyed, their were injuries on both side. The commissioner said a full statement will be released on the incident.

http://famouspeoplenews./2013/07/09/how-rivers-state-speaker-rt-hon-dan-amachree-was-impeached/

This story is full of lies, the speaker was not impeached

akpomeme: Rascality at its height. From the Governor to the impeached, speaker and house leader, new leader and his cohorts are rascals. It is obvious why Ameachi does not have the rigt sense of a given occasion. I pity citizens of port harcourt. Spitting out.

Do u know the constitution at all. One needs two-third majority to impeach any public elected official. U can't impeach the speaker with just 5 members, which is less than 2/3 of the whole 28 members.

Abagworo: Chidi Lloyd was on vengeance to his own earlier hit. Jonathan is the man that needs to be impeached for attempting to use 5 men against 22 to impeach a speaker. This is a tip of the iceberg with what is going to happen in 2015. You cannot win oly 30% and declare yourself winner and sponsor killing of youth corpers to gain sympathy. It won't work and there will rather be war than the will of the people suppressed. God bless Nigeria.

Are u sure the men were sent by GEJ or do u just read any meaning u want to just cos u want to believe it. As far as I know, it could be amaechi stage managing everything after all he came out unscared or it could even be that the 5 lawmakers took matter into their own hands just to teach amaechi a lesson. From GEJ's xter after seeing how he has reacted in the past from criticism (I mean the man is not new to criticism), I don't think he sent those 5 thugs lawmakers. I think they did what they did to impress him or to seek relevance. If u ask me, I would put my finger down to even say his wife Dame could be the culprit behind this cos she seems to be that kind of person. I have met her by chance b4 and she strikes me as just the type.

ow11: As amazing as this sounds, A lot of Nigerians sincerely believe we do not pay taxes and complain like b1tches about taxes in foreign countries.

The amount of taxes Nigerians pay are astronomial as the government provides next to nothing for these payments. Imagine after all these levies, I wonder if the business can pay a living wage to its employees.

I will bash anyone's head that comes to this forum to claim that Nigeria is a tax free haven!

Well Abians no what to do at the polls! vote out PDP or at least the business owners can launch a protest at the state house of assembly and governor's office stating the need to allow banks to collect the revenue on its behalf and also bloody make them affordable!

Bros, in as much as you are not wrong but there are still places where u have to pay note than 40 percent of what u earn as tax. This is apart from other minor expense u will incur from other government institutions.

Waiting till inec themselves confirm it

dayokanu: Marry the Range rover

U r still young. Pls marry the range rover like our friend above rightly said. If the wife is urs, she will even help u drive it. Don't be in a hurry, besides this will give u time to get to know her b4 u take her in as ur second wife.

Ma guy, if I tell u the thongs I have donated u won't believe me....

Bokoharam: Since I heard of this from a very reliable source, I have not stopped being concerned. I am not a staff member of Ecobank (Yet, even if I am, does it change the reality of the wickedness?). There is also no hate involved. I even think you may be part of the executive that traded lives for money. I believe if your own relative left by road, and you had to keep wake from 8am when they set out till 1.30am the following day, when they arrived at Lome, coupled with staff bus breakdown (without security) in this horrible Nigeria and its borders, you would appreciate and think better.

We are NOT talking about Trainees here. We are talking about MANAGERS!!! There is nothing like 'financial state.' If cost of N40,000 (N80,000 to and fro) is too much for a global bank like Ecobank to absorb on behalf of its top managers, because of "...their financial state...," then, there is no need for Ecobank to be in business in Nigeria. Again, for the bank to identify these Top 100 managers, goes to show that they appreciate what those people are doing.

Secondly, the Nigeria Group contibutes larger chunk of Ecobank's returns globally. So, your argument cannot prevail.

The issue is: why would you subject your best hands to that kind of physically, emotional and psychological torture? That cannot happen in a place like Egypt.

It is time we addressed certain things rightly in NIgeria because strangers capitalise on our docility to castrate and emasculate our citizens.

I support what the bank did even without knowing the details. From what I heard must of those managers go home with 6 or 7 figures monthly so what is plane ticket for them. Pls go and learn about what the bank was hoping to accomplish. They wanted to teach those managers somethings they would not have learnt if they flew.

Scoundrels, brigands, thieves,.....see who is throwing the first stone. A confirmed thief, an ex-con who was convicted of stealing public funds. On second thought, let them keep attacking themselves like this. At least we may finally get to find out all their atrocities.

ceah: You are a Child born in the 90s. Please! go read your history book or better still read newspaper where all the so called formal head of state acknowlegde his incorruptible personality.

Really, then u must still be in secondary school cos u didn't make any strong point but just throwing insults everywhere...
Buhari won't rule this country again, am sure u know that deep inside ur soul so why come here to try get sympathies for ya godfather.

CLASSMAN: IF TRUE MAKE THEM COOL DOWN NOW SHEBI S4 JUST COME OUT WAY BOYS STILL DAY GATHER MONEY TO BUY NA IM THEM WAN RELEASE S5 AGIAN

begin gather money to buy the S5 na, if they wait 4 people like u dem no go sell market..

AnodaIT: more ways to collect money.
But what is it with stores which you must register and create profile before you buy or installed.
I'm not a conspiracy theorist but when someone require that you must get a profile before you can buy on his store, it is akin to getting the biblical number before you buy anything.
.
In the good old days, u could get apps from anywhere and installed and off u go, now even if you installed but it was not from your account, you cannot update. What are they keeping the records for?.
Apple ID, Google Account, Microsoft Account and now nextapps account, wtf!
.
I just hate the fact that someone is keeping records of and tracking everything I do or buy

What would I be doing on MTN store when I can browse google store free of charge and download anything i want there...
