Billyonaire: The pricing regime is perfect to work with and have investors initiate actions. Competition will drive the prices down eventually, we just have to start something.

Drive down which price? the price of crude? Are you just quoting the famous line of Nigerian politicians?

took me almost 3 months to get mine

[quote author=Chyz*]So basically he got rid of a yoruba(southerner) and gave the position to a northerner.Then gave one of his ijaw brothers(since according to him there is no other group in the ND but his people) a position, Abiye Membere. Wow, big change,excuse the sarcasm. Tribalistic retard who is the north's new b!tch.[/quote]Public display of ignorance. He is a NORTHERNER from KOGI and is EBIRA and not Yoruba. Bigot

On why the police could not foil Sunday bombings in Kaduna and Zaria despite alleged first hand information that got to them about impending blasts, the CP simply said, “My men went on servicing of the vehicles , and that is not to say that we were taken unaware by the bombers.”

smh: todays punch

temizt: The Igbo/Aba guys (in my opinion) are only good at imitating and producing low quality stuff. Check out this Aba senseless version of Polo by Ralph

serious?

werepeLeri: English language seems to be your problem. His company name was inserted because he first refused to give 3m$ bribe - after the sting operation, and having given $620k to Lawan and friends, Lawan came openly on the floor of the house asking that Zenon and the other company be removed.

Really? You must have information I do not have. Maybe you work for Otedola and have first hand information that he was not involved in any fraudulent activity. I will wait for the investigations to be concluded to be sure.

He said his name was removed because he paid bribe now the decision has been reversed what is he complaining about? I think the house took the right decision. He has nothing to fear if he is not guilty as the anti-corruption agencies will determine that and not the house-period.

Thought he said by end of June? Why he dey shift post nah?

16 Do not be overawed when others grow rich,
when the splendor of their houses increases;
17 for they will take nothing with them when they die,
their splendor will not descend with them.
18 Though while they live they count themselves blessed—
and people praise you when you prosper—
19 they will join those who have gone before them,
who will never again see the light of life.

20 Human beings who have wealth but lack understanding
are like the beasts that perish.

Psalm49:16-20

My Only Hope

The wonders of the cross shall always be my meditation; for that is where I found my salvation.

It was there, I had all my burdens lifted. Today I live with hope because of what Jesus Christ did for me.

He gave Himself fully for us, knowing what He knows about man. He gave up His throne on high

and took upon Himself the form of man, that He may suffer death and bring redemption.

Do you have hope of a life after death. There is great joy in believing in Christ as your Saviour.

He offers it ALL.

A country that calls on God left right and center and yet is one of most corrupt in the world. Buildings collapse left right and center and yet nobody is yet to be jailed. People steal everyday and walk the streetsdrive in amour-ed vehicles with their foot soldiers will be hailing them. Plane crashes and people see it as an opportunity to loot peoples homes. WHAT A COUNTRY! HOW LONG SHALL WE CONTINUE LIKE THIS

How did you arrive at such a conclusion? I want to assume you have the evidence and better still you were there when it happened else i must confess you ignorant.

THE FACE OF A THIEF AND BRIBE COLLECTOR

Hi, have you read the story of Job? Did God spare Jesus christ his son? What about Steven and the many prophets that were killed in the time of Elijah? God is God whether you believe or not.

anuel4luv: The ill-fated Dana plane had been under repair for several weeks and the airline's station manager protested its use but the Indian mgt insisted it should fly!>:O. The German stations are reporting that the plane which just crashed should never have taken off becos of its write off state and that its a wonder the plane even made it to lagos!>:O >:O

Why wasn't it reported to the authorities? Was the maintenance manager afraid of losing his job?

NIGERIA 0 : 0 NAMIBIA
Match Information
Status: First Half
Venue: Calabar
Date: Sunday 03 June
Kick-off: 17:00
Tournament: World Cup qualifiers - Africa
Blow by Blow
40 Nigerian attack from the right breaks down as Efe Ambrose fails to keep the ball in play
39 Still 0-0. Nigeria has threatened more but the Southern Africans will be the hapier of the two sides with the current score. Victor Moses has been outstanding on the left.
38 A tame effort by Namibia but Vincent Enyeama is quick to read the danger and mops up in exemplary fashion
35 A bad miss for Nigeria. Ike Uche is at the end of the sweeping move which began with John Utaka's smart back heeled pass. The Granada Man blasts wide from inside the box when it would have been easier to score.
30 Uche is fast turning out to be the most dangerous player on the Nigeria side. The Spain based striker comes close again but the Namibia keeper earns his stripes. Still 0-0
29 The Super Eagles knocking harder and harder on the door. Ik Uche picks up the bal outside the Namibia penalty area, swivels smartly and lets fly but the Granada Man's effort goes agonizingly wide
28 John Utaka scores. Nigeria in front. No...the goal has been disallowed. The officials ruled, correctly, that the ball went into touch just before Ejike Uzoenyi provided the cross down the right hand side. Nigeria coming closer and closer
27 Nigeria has had 5 goal attempts to Namibia's 1. The Eagles however know that the key statistic is still evenly poised on a knife edge
26 Ik Uche almost scores spectacularly but his long range strike is just wide. Great attempt though. Nigeria still looking for the breakthrough
22 Ikechukwu Uche is dispossed off the ball as Nigeria launch yet another attack. Super Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi looks worried on the touch line as the Nigerians keep creating and failing to take ther goal scoring chances
20 Nigeria has bossed possession and created the better of the goal scoring opportunities so far. Ejike Uzoke was desperately unlucky not to have opened the scoring with an excellent bicycle kick early on but the Namibians have been defending manfully thus far
1 Kickoff. Nigeria in all gree will be the favourites to nick this one but the Namibians will not be easy pickings
- Both sides have observed a minute's silence for Nigeria;s record goal scorer, Rasheed Yekini who died recently. Well observed by the two teams and the spectators who have created a great atmosphere here
- Good afternoon and welcome to the Live text commentary of the 2014 Fifa World Cup qualifying game between Nigeria's Super Eagles and the brave warriors of Namibia. My name is Sammy Wejinya and I will be giving you the best of the action live from the UJ Esuene Stadium, Calabar

University of Port Harcourt soon to be renamed Goodluck Ebele Jonathan University (GEJU)

Hi Applelady, They are not supposed to disclose your status to a third party. You can even sue them and they are not allowed by the laws of the land to discriminate against you. You can also have a normal relationship with someone who is not positive and live a healthy life and have healthy children so do not limit your options to dating HIV positive men only. Have an open mind and this is the time to draw close to God. He can heal you. Have you done another test to confirm your status? if not please do. Your status should not prevent you from getting a job if it does contact NACA or SFH or me and I will try to link you to SFH?

If the owner of the university wants to change the name I think he has the right to do that. If you are not happy with that then leave and go find another school.

Good one.

Babcock University (BU), Ilishan-Remo, Ogun State, is set to make history in Nigeria by graduating a 25-year-old doctorate degree cer-tificate holder during its forthcoming convocation ceremony slated for Sun-day, June 2. Revealing this recently was the university’s Vice-Chancellor, Prof. James Kayode-Makinde, who said he was proud that his uni-versity would be achiev-ing this, “particularly at a time Nigeria needs to be in global spotlight for some-thing good.”

The would-be graduate, Opemipo Sodipe, would be awarded the certificate in Information Resources Management. “It is very important to note that the graduates we produce here are to-tal students who combine discipline with academic excellence. So there is no doubt about their compe-tence, because she would not be the first to attain such height.

“I believe many people would want to query what we have done due to the conventional age-limit for entering a university, but I must emphasise that we cannot send back brilliant students who have suc-cessfully scaled through the hurdles of our inten-sive screening exercise.

“We must also consider the condition for enroll-ing for a postgraduate programme which is good grade at first degree level and other basic require-ments”.

Very good development for our educational system.

Really? So that is how suicide bombers operate. wow!!!

mikeansy: The problem here is who is it down to? to define when an election is free and fair or when it has been rigged other than INEC/Court of Law? For Buhari every lost election must have been rigged. This is the problem. Buhari failed at the last polls, INEC led by Prof Attahiru Jegga announced the results. Buhari went to court and failed. The responsible thing to do is to give the process the benefit of the doubt if you can not provide undeniable proof that the election was rigged.
Since the last election there is no evidence of CPC doing anything to build structures around the country, there is no evidence of them challenging Government policy on education, healthcare, internal affairs, economy, foreign policy etc. There is no evidence of them working with local communities around the country to say to people that a different future is possible.
Yet after going to sleep after the 2011 election they want to re-appear in 2015 and win elections against PDP, a party which has a National presence? Politics dont work like that folks. The opposition will never snatch power from PDP on the cheap . . .PDP does have loyalists, whether these loyalties are merited or holy is a debate for another but they do definitely have followers around the country.

Look Election riggers are people, they exploit the void created by voter disillussion to help their prefered candidate win. However if there was a legitimate alternative which excites the public, the margin available for riggers will get narrower. Some of the otherwise riggers may even be inspired by the opposition to lead a legitimate get-out-the-vote drive to beat the incumbent. Most members of the public will be excited to vote and people will stay back to protect their votes. Then in this scenario PDP will be swept away from Aso Rock. The story of Rochas of Imo or Shekarau of Kano tells me that an incumbent PDP leadership can be defeated on the electoral field. The story of Oshiomole says PDP can loose in court. Why can't Buhari win an election or win a court case? the reason is simply . . .he is unelectable and can not produce undeniable proof that he won the elections. It is also the onus of the accuser to provide proof that the elections were ilegitimate.

I think instead of these never ending ridiculous claims of rigging by the opposition, they should roll up their sleeves and work for victory if they truly want power and genuinely have anything different to offer Nigerian people. It is in the interest of Nigerian politics that change does happen someday but that change will come through politics and not terrorism! Buhari and his friends must accept their failures and stop threatning the country with violence.

The same court that told him in 2007 that the elections were rigged but the country could not afford another election, right?

Electrical engineers need statistics especially when you want to model the behaviour of traffic in a network or in power systems when you want to determine the demand and many other areas.

moderattor The entire system is a crap.
What would someone studying dental medicine spend 6 years in doing?
There are only 32 teeth in the mouth!
Two years is more than enough.

Computer science should be a general course.
Programming should be specific, that is Java, VB, etc.
Each to be studied for two years each.

What is an electrical engineering student doing with Statistics?

ballabriggs: When you people talk of carry people along, I laugh. Which Civil Servants? The ones that come to work at 12 noon and close at 3 pm? Abeg forget all these show of innocence on national TV. E be like say una so sabi these people o. They are so lazy and corrupt. I've worked in the UK civil service in one of Her Majesty's department and I can tell the difference. Some of these guys you people see no sabi use computer yet they want to be there. Oya allow young man whose got the 21st century skills to do the work. For where, dem go gree. Abeg Otteh may not be clean but these guys wey una dey see most of them are very corrupt and lazy. They can do anything to maintain the status quo.

Your idea of the civil service is not correct. Remember this is a parastatal. I work in one and your conclusions are incorrect. I agree that in the mainstream civil service the above happens but not in alot of parastatals-that I know firsthand. You don't fight corruption with corruption and illegality.

ballabriggs: Look Brother I am right. I did my NYSC in a Government Department. The new DG brought came with the intent to change the place. For where? Petition upon petition, back biting, gossip and if possible voodoo sef. It is a jungle in my honest opinion. There is no discipline. Any Oga that does not let them chop is always a bad Oga. Otteh may not be clean but the Commissioner sounds like there is something personal.

everyone knows there is something personal. The lawyer mentioned it. When they make suggestions or make an argument against a position, it is met with anger and fury. That is not the way to work. If you have a boss that shoves things down your throat without letting you voice your opinion what do you do? She seems to have a temper and believes she is better than the others-which is not true.

ballabriggs: When I hear these Commissioners speak I laugh. Typical Civil Servants! Otteh has probably blocked some of their chop I chop routes hence their dissatisfaction with her.

Chop-I-chop didn't force her to take some of the actions she took. Lot of those commissioners like the legal and the other woman know what they are doing.Oteh sounds arrogant and you can't be arrogant to your colleagues-not in the civil service. They will mess you up.

And she just confirmed my point. They do not work together as a team.

dounleedee: Nigeria is simply one huge joke where politicians clown with public trust and the people are left applauding their own coveted destruction. In fact, it is simply mind boggling how crazily conspicuous our legislators showcase their bias and hatred for Mrs Otteh the DG of SEC.
Whilst I’m not holding brief for Mrs Otteh; is it not disturbing that our hard working, internationally recognised bureaucrats are ridiculed publicly under the guise of probity by accusers who are themselves known felons?
We all know that over valuation of shares was responsible for the near collapse of the capital market in 2009, and the main culprits are our banks. The question is, could SEC have saved the Capital Market if the Apex Bank and NDIC the regulator and monitor of bank’s solvency failed to carry out their functions?
The speed at which the Chairman of the committee called for Mrs Otteh’s head for her non appearance yesterday says it all. Why have they not issued a warrant of arrest for the CBN governor who failed to honour their invitation but sent a deputy governor to the hearing when the Apex Bank was in fact the main actor in the systemic theft of our investments?
To add salt to our injury, that obese kleptomaniac who claims to be a teacher at Harvard, the woman that stripped us of our National Assets in collaboration with OBJ when she was the DG of NSE, was now given a field day to gloat over our heads with impudence. A woman who sold off The Nicon Nuga Hilton to herself and OBJ under Transcorp, was elevated to the status of national lecturer to further debase our collective intelligence under the theatrical satire they call Capital Market Probe.
As if this was not dehumanising enough, she was even encouraged to offer the nation palliatives for saving the Capital Market. I found myself laughing in Chinese at this institutionalised Nollywood actress. It was not surprising that she was quick to mention privatisation as one of her palliatives.
Do these people really ever steal enough
If that is what she teaches at Harvard, then our children and grand children are doomed.

My conclusion is that Oteh is not straight forward. Her executives are not happy with her and she did not follow civil service rules in some of her dealings. She did some illegal things and she is now exposed. Motive or no motive if you have done nothing wrong then you need not fear. I was sympathetic with her during the first probe but now I truely believe is "corrupt" intentionally or unintentionally.

She is too arrogant. Looks like her executive team is not in support of her.
