If Deziani stole like this as a minister what would be the case of President Jonathan or Amechi?

Very difficult to heal especially for sensitive skin but I have seen ciprotab (500mg) and Betnovate-N cream combination done the magic.

Thank me Latter.

Soldier boy u compare yourself with soldiers abroad pls be reasonable. The soldiers abroad I know and ve seen dont behave d way u guys behave. The way u guys behave makes me wonder if some of u are animals coated with human skin. Soldiers abroad join queue and dont jump line cos they are in uniform like u guys do. Soldiers abroad dont move on a wrong lane just to beat traffic which u guys do and sometimes cause accident. Soldiers abroad pay their fares and dont expect a free ride. Soldiers abroad dont see police as inferior but see them as part of d civil authority they must be subjected and hence u never see or hear of Army-Police clash. U dont hear of military brutality towards civilians abroad but it is normal here. In a traffic if a civilian mistakenly hits ur car as it cud with anyone, then d soldier wud turn the civilian into punching bag cos na for civilian body una get power. I ve even witnessed a case where the soldier was at fault but was beating d driver whose car he damaged.
So in all respect dont compare yourselves with soldiers abroad.

I did my NYSC in d north and witnessed firsthand so much brutality by d military towards unarmed civilian many of whom were even people old enough to be ur father. Sometimes I ask myself is it d gun and uniform that makes u guys so wild to act that way or d wraps of weed smoked.

During my NYSC, I had rapport with some soldiers and I was shocked with d comments of some soldiers which reflects their attitude towards civilians. The comments are "bloody civilians", una civilians no get sense", "I go waste una", "civilians be animal/chicken".

I feel perharps ur training makes u guys feel that u re superior to civilians but u fail to realize that u all in uniform were born "bloody civilians", ur fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, wives, children, relatives and friends are bloody civilians.

U also fail to realize that if u dont die in active service, u wud retire to be a bloody civilian.
U guys are so arrogant and full of yourselves as if no be blood they flow for una vein. Na for civilian body una get power but when Boko Haram where overruning ur bases u guys were complaining of lack of weapons telling us grammar that it is assymetric warfare bla bla but there is a never a lack of ammunition when u re called upon to manage peaceful protest of unarmed bloody civilians whom u wud use to test your shooting skills.

I also wish to use this medium to tell all our member of armed forces here on this thread and those who may be one someday that if u re called to suppress peaceful protests, use ur head. Dont be a zombie as late Fela call u. Most peaceful protests are means through which d masses speak to senseless leaders cos if they were sensible and sensitive to d needs of d masses it wud not ve degenerated to a protest. Hence dont use ur arms against d people cos those thieves in power wud use to maintain their grip on power and dump u when u retire to d point that even ur meagre pension wud be owed while they embezzle billions.
Dont let d gun or uniform get into ur head. Dont be a zombie cos as Fela call u. And remember what goes round comes round.

Make I clap hands for u. You said it all-and gave them a wonderful advice on how to handle protest.

Anoda 3rd rate university..... but its abroad sha so let Nigerians continue to be deceived ,

You where did u study. Bad belle!

Saraki senate leadership is all about protecting themselves from prosecution and not advancing laws that will help the common man.

I hope we survive this APC govt...so so disorganised.

SoNature:
If most Nigerian politicians were like Sen. Kanti Bello, we would have a better country today. Indeed, I respect his honest analysis.

But the journalist should have asked him the way forward. If after identifying a problem without suggesting ways to solve them, it's a complete waste of time.

Did he just mention supporting Osinbajo? Well, it's a good thing if we all support him but not beyond 2019, else Goodluck Jonathan's fate will befall him when PDP presents a northern candidate.

But he proferred a solution...that's to search hard and find a detribalized Nigerian who can turn the economy around. If the economy starts to get better some of the vices and agitations will fizzle out gradually.

Can anything good come out of that Minister?

gist4real:
Before that they should stop politicians from sending their children to school abroad and they should also ban elected officials from seeking medical treatment abroad.

Correct!

Saraki is powerhungry and could see an opportunity in the current Buhari limbo so Osibanjo should be extremely careful.

Ahiara diocese fall hand big time. Since when did congregants chose their priests in catholic church? I thought Jesus taught us to love our neighbours as ourselves. So why the dichotomy of tribe in choosing and accepting priests in the church. I still don't understand

I just like this line...

"Get upset until you are willing to do something about your situation. You have to keep moving, crawl if you have to. But move towards your destiny because it's waiting, and you have to go and get it."

This has been my password to life. Keep on moving no matter the speed. Don't be a barber chair that rotates in a circle without motion. Life could throw you more than you can ever imagined but don't be deterred but rather keep on pushing until the walls of challenges gives in and fall.

madone:
Igbos are senseless and without a focus. Biafra will never see light of the day. It's nit a curse . from precedence you can see that this people can never be united for anything.

Na wa ooo! Just like that...

Later you will claim Igbos insult everyone.

Read your post again.

MadCow1:
Comfort.. That's the primary advantage.

Bigger seats, more leg room, access to an arm rest, more access to a hostess and better meal.

On the international flights it gets even better. You get priority check in, access to a lounge to wait for your flight where you get served a meal and drinks for free. Full recliner seats (your seat stretches fully and you can sleep like you are on a bed). Access to a bar from take off to landing. Depending on the Aircraft, you may even get access to a bathroom on board to freshen up before landing and exiting the plane. The toilets are cleaner and you even get privacy on some aircrafts. On transit you get access to a VIP lounge stocked with drinks and food for free. On some flights access to the Internet as well. On arrival, you get to disembark first and also get premium access to Immigration at some airports even your luggage comes out first..

Yes everyone will land at the same time but the comfort and experience of the ride enjoyed is very different.


If I can afford it, I will always rather be in first class or business class than be in Economy. Bad as e bad I will settle for premium economy.

If you can't afford a private jet, first class is the next best thing.

By chance I got an upgrade and tasted all you have mentioned in an international flight. My brother it was an unfogettable experience. Not only that your seat can recline and nearly flat out as a bed, it also got electronically controlled massaging embedded. When you add it with the VIP lounge experience, my brother you will curse poverty.

Nyceguy92:
Your cousin's case is a rare one.
I have been around a bit and I am yet to see or hear a case where a parent gave such an ultimatum to their child.
Parents may hint that as the oldest, you have to also help look after your younger ones. Original OP was making a sweeping generalisation.

It's not the rarest. In fact it's common. Its how most African families are built like a step ladder in terms of responsibilities. It's not about roles we play while growing up - but the shift of burden of parenting to the first child immediately he/she starts earning money.

And woe betide you if you have many siblings, you end up growing white hair in ur early youth. To make matter worst your siblings sees it as a right and have such great expectations that you are "supposed" to be successful so that you take care of them.

I have seen a lot and I have experienced it myself but I was wise to set my goals early in life and insisted to follow that set goals to the latter... but that did not absolve me from taking some of those parental duties like paying school fees and university accommodations for my siblings even while barely new to a job of which salary can barely take care of me.

The OP made so much sense because many a times the first child suffer in silence trying to balance things. In fact they sacrifice their joy and future to put bring other up. And if it happens that your dad is the irresponsible one or seriously handicapped financially, then you might opt to stop school to lessen their burden and contribute to the Commonwealth of the family at the expense of yourself. There are so many versions of this problem and I think it's high time this is brought to the fore so that parents should plan for their family and not transfer responsibility so early in the life of their first child thereby distorting things. I don dey vex now...

Nigerian parents...

It is very wrong and sentimental to give birth to children and think the oldest will take care of them. They didn't force you to bring them into this world; you did the konji, you ushered them in, please it's still your work to take care of them and no, when you're taking care of your children, its not a privilege, it's their right, it's what they deserve, so do it with all manner of responsibility and commitment.

An acquaintance of mine was suicidal last week because of the burden of his family on him. He's the first child and is 38 yet unmarried and almost has nothing standing, why?
He started hustling at 23 for his ungrateful siblings. His parents said it's his responsibility to do so.
To fend for them..
To give them a life..
So it's made his life almost a waste of time for himself..
Working profusely for others, who don't even care, who own it up like it's their right..
He was supposed to get married at 29 but crucibles of life's experience in the confines of the pressurised burden of taking care of his adult siblings didn't let him.

Tell me,
What freaking culture validates this nonsense practice?

Many Nigerian parents just produce children and give one the responsibility of what they caused.
Give birth to one if it's one you can take care of..
Parenting isn't about how many children you have but how well you treat them, how much can you groom them?

Quantity is needless when resources is unavailable..
Stop producing children by faith.
Stop heaping needless responsibilities on children that should plan their lives and focus.
Give all your children equal opportunity to face their lives and career.
Ain't saying they shouldn't help each other,
It's called ‘HELP’ not ‘RESPONSIBILITY’
Help is out of love or compassion..It's voluntary.
Your eldest child is not an assistant parent.
Yes, they are supposed to do well, and have others follow their legacy..
But having them feel forcefully committed to solving the problems of their siblings; that's way too ridiculous.

Many first children don't live long because of the pressure, the load, the burden, and even on top of it, these folks feel so entitled to being fed and given everything they ask.
I understand that all these play out as a result of frustration and inability to fend for your children, and that's why I'm attacking the root cause: Bear children you can comfortably fend for.
It is highly painful having one of your children give up on their dreams and entire life's passion to spend his/her own life taking care of other siblings. That's a waste of destiny. We all are here for our individual purposes.

Very much on point.

Tonto is your biggest mistake

Correct me, I thought Churchill's ex-wife prior toTonto Dike, was by name "Bimbo Coker". Something is definitely wrong somewhere.

What of Olumegbon of Ajah? Is he not an Omonile Chief

Evans is now a celebrity. Very soon he'll be a glo ambassador.

Nollywood will soon act movie called "Evans"

Hahaha spirit? My opinion? I had no opinion concerning anyone even if I had one on this mater before, please I permit you to throw it away and take up on my position for just this once. I said if you have such strong opinion that they are as good as you claim, seear that you are 100% sure.(you still shying away from that one sha but make we talk say liver cut you and You have found out that you cant guarantee for just anyone even those MOG) Quoting the bible when it suits your case ? What did that your bible teach you about your neighbours again? Oh I forgot you did not recall that part because it doesnt suit your deep rooted hatred for Igbos. Spirit filled? What spirit filled you? filled by spirit of hate? Cos your first comment did not show you as being filled with that same spirit of Love Jesus was talking about at all. Hahahaha I cant shout abeg. Peace to you too.

You have taught him love. Everything is not competition and bragging for stupid reasons. Well done!

While I still prefer a restructured Nigeria than Biafra, I still wonder how this Sit-at-home protest by IPOB warranted such reaction from Arewa youths. This is kind of playing into the session plan of Biafra just as FG played into Nnamdi KANU plan by arresting him and making him popular.

Like joke like joke, IPOB is gradually making Biafra a reality with the help of unwise Nigerian's reaction.

If it continues like this, Biafra will be realised without Biafra taking to arms.

IHEJIRIKAisBOKO:
This Kaduna declaration saga has confirmed the already known fact that the ibos agitation for biafra is not well intentioned. The call for biafra is just the default mode that the ibos enter into whenever they loose out of the politics at the centre.

I had expected the ibos, in furtherance to their biafra ambition, would have started leaving the North following the ultimatum served by the Arewa Youths. But it seems the ibos would rather die in the North than go back to iboland

The ibos want to break away from Nigeria but at the same time want to remain in other part of Nigeria

The ibos want an independent iboland but they are afraid of going back to iboland

some of them even have this deluded assumption that in the event that they get their biafra country, they will still retain their citizenship as Nigerians and still stay in other part of Nigeria.



Jokers !!

Talking nonsense

O dikwa egwu! A true heart of evil.

How cone no arrest ha been made up till.

Something is definitely not adding up.

The hardship is too much o Lord.

To pay salary - Na wahala
To sign budget - Na problem
To build refineries - Na story
To fix road - Na trouble
To increase Electricity Mega Watts - Tomorrow no dey end

Which kind country be this God? We need your divine intervention

This govt has become bullies and the best way to overcome bullies is to stand your ground and fight back.

Ordained to put smile on Nigeria. Let's pray for him to move us out of doldrum to glory. He will make a good President.

Wahala dey ooo!

Braden9:
I think the igbo are my least favorite African group. I think igbo land should be granted their landlocked biafra and severely punished.

I support igbo Republic. The rest of Africa will be merged to achieve my vision of 5 nations :Westland, Southland, Northland, Eastland, Midland. Igbo Republic will be encircled with 20 feet border WALL and blocked from Westland's airspace. No aid will be sent to igbo Republic. Nuisances!

This reminds me about Arabs nations gang up against Israel but till today, Israel is standing even stronger with more territories.

Too much waste of money by Government.

Did anyone notice IBB left hand.

Looks as if its been thru partial Stroke.

THIS NAME CHECKING GATS TO STOP IN THIS FORUM.

IT HAS BECOME AN HABITUAL STREAK, INSTEAD OF CONDEMNING THE CULPRIT FOR DISGRACING NIGERIA. WE GO DEY CHECK NAMES. DEY INDUCE TRIBALISM SUBCONSCIOUSLY THINKING ITS A JOKE. .

LOLZ.

NIGERIA IN DIASPORA EH.

In fact "name checking" has degraded Nairaland. Serious social issues and vices ends up being derailed by group of people with tribal leanings and we think it's funny.
