How big is this Sambisa Forest that the Nigerian Army cannot effectively comb and flush out these terrorists? This is more than 2 years already and its so sad that these girls have to go through this hell...RIP to the lost ones.

Bigger than Germany. Google is your friend.

Keneking:
Amazing action by the people.....take, ‘You are liars,’

Guy, how do you edit this your monkey to as you wish?

MizMyColi:
That's harsh.
She should not speak that way to you.

What is the point of having sex with her when you are not confident that you will please her?

What is the point of engaging in an act that will make you feel less of yourself and sad?

I hope you have not married a mini Jezebel into your home.
Unbridled words from loved ones kill faster than knives and bullet.

My take is this....
Seek her opinion on how you can do things better with her.
Get to study her more.
Try to get around acceptable ways of improving your performance.
More importantly, let her know that the more she keeps comparing you to her ex, instead of seeking ways to explore your sexual preferences and give the best to each other; the more she's giving room for the inevitable.

If all these above fail, even when you know you have done your best to satisfy her. As unethical as it sounds, use reverse psychology on her.
She's not perfect either....if you know what I mean.

Give her a dose of her own medicine.

Chai! You be ogbonge proper.

OLADD:
Firstly, I am not a wailer but a concerned Nigerian who's after a prosperous, egalitarian, unpolarized, progressive and peaceful nation.

Secondly, yes it's true NLC was fractionalized before the advent of Buhari's administration but the last govt did not officialize or magnify the divisions. By negotiating with two factions of the same union, APC has proved to the world that they can even dine with Satan just to have their way. That's satanism at its peak.

Sorry bro, but you're not making sense at all.

Are there two factions of NLC? Yes.
Why must the govt recognize an unsupportive one over a cooperating one?

The more divided the Labour Union is, the better for the govt and employers.

It's same with student unionism. The more divided they are the better for the university management. And it's wrong for anyone to blame the govt for the Union's inability to mend fence.

BeeBeeOoh:
Please oga SGF direct your criticisms to PMD, leave kachikwu alone he is just Minister Of State Petroleum not MINISTER OF PETROLEUM

You're too ignorant to understand that PMB keeping the portfolio is just to keep the number of ministers at certain figure. Kachikwu is the Minister of Petroleum.

menzo4u:
@DropShot..so is there any alternative to strike action?

Plenty alternatives. I answered that already. Strike action is usually the last resort when all other negotiations have failed.

TonyeBarcanista:
Instead, I will say they are victims of false orientation and bad leadership

Being victims of poor orientation and bad leadership does not absolve them of guilt.

How you're born or lead is not the sole determinant of what you become. Your own resolve to succeed will determine that.

Delta, Rivers and Bayelsa youths are largely lazy and criminal minded than any other region anyone may think of.

As annoying and ridiculous as this sounds, one cannot really blame US if we consider how we've re-looted such returned assets in the past. All thanks to the IB and the paper-heavy-weight madam Gele for the way they handled past returned loots.

TonyeBarcanista:
That the rest of Nigerians believe Dickson does not validate the baseless claim of Dickson.

I read the piece and nothing meaningful in Dickson's claim. He was only blame shifting.

While Dickson might have been wrong to disparage his own people openly, he is very correct in saying the youths of Bayelsa are lazy.

I have not been to Bayelsa, but my over eight years spent in Delta state and PH is enough for me to know the youths there are fantastically lazy.

Nairaland has obviously redefined the word "massive".

menzo4u:
Cc: TonyeBarcanista, DropShot, Omenka, Dearpreye, Seun et all.....Your opnions

Downing tools (strike) should be the last resort to resolving disputes and not the first action.

Unfortunately, the Nigerian Labour movements have bastardized this very potent tool to the extent that not many take them really serious when they call for strike.

On this particular fuel hike strike at hand, with all sincerity of purpose and patriotism, I say that the labour goofed big time.

We all know the current economic situation of the country: diminished foreign earnings from crude, very low reserves of dollars, with activities of the militant terrorists, Nigeria is possibly at her wors stage in many decades. Where does the Labour expect the govt to get the money to pay subsidy for? Subsidy that doesn't really get to the common man?

Why not have series of marathon meetings with the government and allow subsidy removal but use the opportunity to press for immediate implementation of some palliatives? Why not seize the opportunity to press for salary increment of FG workers? Why not use the opportunity to fight for state workers being owed numerous salaries by their respective state?

No matter how one dices it, NLC has failed to carefully choose its battle and failed Nigerians this time around.

Firefire:


I don't support this strike action.

I want Nigerians who foolishly voted the most fraudulent party in the history of Africa to enjoy their change in agony.

If this party called APC is not insensitive, wicked and callous, why has it been that all their policies since they came into power is geared to making ordinary citizens of Nigeria more poorer?

- N50 Tax Stamp, introduced by APC
- Fuel Scarcity for almost 6 months under APC
- Shortage of FX and closing of factories, under APC
- More states not able to pay minimum wage, under APC

I was thinking the CHANGE would be:

- All government excess and unnecessary travelling CUT
- Constituency allowance to all Law Makers abolished
- Security Votes appropriated by State governors without accountability scrapped
- All political office holder are no longer allowed to travel 1st or Business Class only Economy and for important occasion.
- 5 - 10 fleets of cars in a convoy of politicians or public office holders stopped forth while
- All politicians under APC must fully declare their assets, including for their wives and children above 18 years
- An urgent law prescribing 50 years imprisonment without option of file for any act of bribery and corruption across Nigeria, and the law should take immediate effect.

And the whole world will see the CHANGE, but it seems this change is just change of government and removal of a particular leader perceived to be weak and clueless.

Fellow Nigerians, where is that CHANGE you were promised ?

Do not be deceived with the slogan of 16 years destruction under PDP you do not need history or past historical decadence to be corrected before implementing the CHANGE mentioned above.

I hereby submit that APC CHANGE is fraudulent.

Stop moaning and mourning.

oseo1:
A quick example of h its enriching certainly people, they just announce one day tha , new price would would effect. Mind you t marketers already collected product that was subsidised, so I got PMS at say N84 and expected to sell at 87 but now I'm selling at 145, that's a 61 naira profit. Even if I only sold 33,000 liters that's still over 2million extra.

Whilst I recognize that it was a one time profit its still fantastic, and also note that whenever the price is reduced that they will insist o finishing their products before reducing the pump price.

That's natural occurrence which cannot be prevented. Not like deliberately enriching anyone.

If anything, removing subsidy actually seeks to stop enriching the marketers.

funkyibodude:
few people didn't enjoy the sure P. I was a beneficiary and I didn't need to meet anyone for it, I applied and got it. The thing is Gej meant well and had the masses at heart, his subsidy removal was to empower the masses, increase job and wealth creation. Unlike this administration, it's all about enriching specific people. That's why greedy APC governors supported the removal of this subsidy because it's gonna be more money for them..

Enrich which people by removing subsidy?

Sorry to say, but your thinking is upside down.

dukie25:
We have never been this divided since the civil war, thanks to Buhari.

Thanks to the Ineffectual Buffoon you mean?

Junior66:
Sorry but as at january 1st 2012, nobody thought GEJ'd govt was corrupt. Of all the cases publicised by the EFFC, how many date back to 2011 or January 2012?

GEJ had already proven to be weak and Ineffectual since his days as acting president and later president in 2010/2011.

It was in 2011 that fuel subsidy rose from N760bn to N2.3tn. So, Nigerians already knew about this and GEJ's failure to act against those behind the theft.

There were already many corruption cases before 2012 but I don't have the time now.

odimbannamdi:
Do you work with Cummins?

No.

Any strike at this point is illegal.

ndcide:
Alternative: The government should have budgeted some amount for subsidy and remove it in phases. say, two phases . This will help avoid industrial dispute and give respite to the citizens who are being strangled by the present Government's incompetence. The purchasing power of nigerians have reduced due to bad economic policies of buhari and NOT Corruption as you have been programmed to admit.

Secondly, I don't defend corrupt politicians. and I can't condone wickedness, impunity and incompetence in the present government. Just the way you do

If the govt budgeted for subsidy and later decide to remove it as you're suggesting, it's wailing mourner like you that will still complain that the govt has diverted the subsidy budget.

Grow up and face reality.

I agree perfectly with the OP. I spent seven years in Delta state and one year PH, it's same mentality.

Lalasticlala Mynd44 Seun, I recommend this thread for FP. Let's help our youths.

SerialGist:
What is illegal action? Does buhari respect court orders?

Regurgitating the same tired lie does not make it correct. If I ask you for which specific order the president has disobeyed, you will point to Dasuki's, Kanu's and possibly FFK's, forgetting that those persoms equally have other pending cases which have not been vacated by court orders.

@topic, any strike at this point is illegal and a valid ground for anyone to lose their job. Simple as ABC.

Mintek:
Save us your drivels abeg, shame.less propagandist. "Chain" agent of a wicked government.

Hang!

Misleading heading.

Junk journalism.

Bitterleafsoup:
Yeah well it would have never happened if they were not trying to make GEJ look bad. What a sacrifice!

What happen to the Governor that told those girls to go take test during easter break?

Stop derailing. I don't want to go into who was docile and Ineffectual. Just appreciate this feature and move on.

This woman is very kind at heart.

Kudos madam.

Bitterleafsoup:
Really is that for all 200 plus families?

Even at that, it still translates to 150k per parent.

Remember, this is her personal project , not govt.

Kudos to this woman of substance.

Quite princely sum (N30M) to show that the parents of Chibok Girls are not forgotten while efforts are ongoing to rescue their children.

This is a clear departure from the past.

It's simple: PDP should as a matter of urgency, direct all their members that are the forbidden fruit to return same. Thereafter, they should tender unreserved apology to Nigeria for wasting sixteen years of our nation's life.

hardbody:
Given the volatility in the polity and divided views on whether or not to proceed with NLC strike, what is the update in your part of world. These updates will help others at least apply caution and discretion in their movement.

As for me, I am presently on a short course outside the Nigerian jurisdiction and no one here knows what is going on Nigeria at least in terms of the strike.

I am personally not opinionated either way

I'm right here in my office already. We don't know about strike here.

ndcide:
You'll still say the same thing when the start fight for increased salary.

When you are defending try to be reasonable. You shouldn't be absolute because of buhari.

I'm far more reasonable than you. And if you doubt it, take up the challenge of providing alternative to subsidy removal that was not provided for in the budget. I know you always defend corrupt politicians though.

permanentgrace:
NLC should fight for salary increment so you said? Is every Nigerian a civil servant or is everybody even working?

It will trickle down one way or the other.

obi58:
Dropshot or passingshot its quite obvious you're a paid APC Propagandist with no shame. Your fellow Nigerians are dying in hunger and you're here running your mouth. You should cover your head in shame if you still had any iota of values left.

I don't get you. You mean all those supporting subsidy removal are paid propagandists?

Chai, Nairaland pikin no go kill person.
