aventura:
Does dangote have a wife? I've always wanted to ask this question.

He used to, but divorced her like six years ago.

sagtav:
thanks, i've done as u suggested with even two pictures....no success

Hnmn I don't know then, seems to work perfectly fine with mine.

Fair Analysis.
With SCR nobody can cheat. No result will even be accepted without SCR data unlike what happened in SS especially.

sagtav:
a full pic i uploaded on my profile is showing only my face. any idea on how to upload a full pix, pleeeaase.

Reduce the size to not more than 50kb and crop it square.

joseph1832:
Nope! I didn't tell you that, but rather, you implied Jesus prayed with his forehead touching the ground, that's why I asked if he prayed that way all through his stay on earth.

Point is Jesus never worshipped God the way Christians nowadays are doing; by clapping and singing and dancing. Neither do you worship God the way he worshiped by falling on his face to the ground. Only Muslims do.

Jonathan never won any state in the north in 2011.
Buhari didn't get a clean sweep of the North. Though he had majority votes, both Nuhu ribadu and shekarau dealt a major blow to his aspirations. Nuhu won 1 state in the north. So it's a simple logic, the south and east will not vote Buhari in 2019, all PDP needs to do is to make a northerner the forerunner who can also merit regional and brotherhood parity votes from the North.

It's simple logic

Guy stop disgracing yourself by posting false information.

gboss4sure:
The solution is simple.

Give the oil back to the people it is in their land. Let every region be responsible for their developments using the resources in their land.

Simple but the north would never agree.

Why didn't GEJ do it?

rawtouch:
why is he hiding the 18yr old one he married last year about she deh inside the pic too

She's studying in UK.

AnakinSkywalker:
Time covers many things but time also establishes many things. You can decide to use the stick and the carrot.

In my opinion, they have made demands and carried out their threats.

The move on the Nigerian "chess board" is Buhari's like you pointed out. What say ye Mr. President? Carrot or Stick? But you must choose wisely given the current circumstances. You are between a rock and a hard place.

Remember, you are currently involved with Boko Haram and Cattle Rustlers/Fulani Herdsmen. Economy is bad, infrastructure in poor state,utilities crumbled and inflation high. Approval ratings are low with the country very divided along Tribo-Ethno-Religious lines and many more issues.

This is why politics and administrative tactics and strategy are skills are important. I hope he makes the right choice(s) for the entire nation.

That's an excellent way to put it.
I know the general in PMB will be telling him to give them the BH treatment, but putting this new NDA on the amnesty payroll mean the list is gonna be endless, and pipeline vandalism would never cease in the creeks.
hmm let's wait and see.

Pavarottii:
We av resources aside oil in NW. And where states can't manage their states with wat they av. They get more support from federal level(through states that av more).

Just read on fiscal federalism.

I know what fiscal federalism is, we are talking of a timely decision to be taken immediately when the president returns. In reality FF is near impossible in present situation in Nigeria. GEJ was the perfect to lay foundation to it, and he didn't.

megdeik:
I remember the words of late peter tosh. I don't want no peace; all I need is equal rights and justice. That is why USA is a great nation. They are not perfect. There is racism no doubt! This is my first comment on nairaland. Nigeria can never get it right until majority of the people know there is equal rights & justice. The present government is making maters worse.

Welcome to NL, the prude of Nigerian youth.
So what do you suggest PMB shall do when he comes back from France? The BH treatment or Amnesty of Change?

Pavarottii:
Do u think oil is the only resource we av, Nigeria is blessed with resources all over the the 6 geopolitical regions. That's what USA practices and it's works 4 dem. Av told u b4, our elites know wat to do. But they give a blind eye to d situation.

Hmnnn Ok let's hope the president picks the right option when he comes back. BTW I don't think we have oil in the NW.

oduastates:
Either uphold the supremacy of the state or just give up.
In doing so, you are either ready to throw the kitchen sink and be ready to lose everything or continue on the path of destruction.
No sane country can continue to compensate lawlessness and be expecting to develop.
The country is losing trillions of naira because of the refusal to write off the Niger -delta as a source of revenue and gas.
Same thing with the fulani herdsmen refusal to change from their nomadic lifestyle.
Carrot and stick is the approach of the elites benefitting from the fraudulent Nigeria as it is.
They want the gravy train to continue.
An upright state and leader uses the stick and the stick alone
All these groups
Boko haram
Fulani herdsmen
Ipob
ND oil criminals
And ethnic militia like OPC, APC,Bakassi bit are resting that supremacy.

You are on point, but the consequences are grave. Imagine oil and gas production brought to halt for 8 months. Certainly no government would want afford such waste of resources and time.

Pedropa:
What has helped ? Stick ? Cos it is not your area ? Mind you, this your stick approach is to kill and destroy lives and properties. Has it helped from the time of Abacha till OBJ ?



Why don't you ask we try the option of the people controlling their resources while the FG stands in the position of begging crumbs from them, afterall oil isn't the only resouce Nigeria is blessed with.

Pavarottii:
Did u see where I said at d end FISCAL FEDERALISM. That is the solution.

Am sorry but I don't think that's a realistic option, for now.

Pedropa:
You are not in a position to suggest or agree with anybody, you are not from NigerDelta.


They'v made their demands, and there is nothing like awarding contracts there. Let us discuss our state of unity as a country through SNC.

Let us discuss our progress in a round table including all stake holders big and small or everybody suffers. This demand is genuine and ideal.


I think every party should agree without reservation.

We all know that majority of the militants are looking for money. Those demands are just a cover up. Apart from monthly alert Yaradua didn't implement all those promises not to talk of GEJ. Even those that started bombings much later in GEJ'S tenure were calling for amnesty phase two and phase 3.

tuale4u:
i agree with Tonye barcanista.
I will suggest every community vigillante protect pipeline along thier community. With monthly allowance paid directly to the community vigillante.

I dont believe in giving contract to war lord like Tompolo who end up using d money to oppress niger delta people and further promote millitancy as a career path.

But it is the warlords like Tompolo that have the tendency to blow up the installations, not ordinary village people.

Pavarottii:
My dear, these leaders know wat to do, but won't do it... all I can say that buhari's approach now, can't solve d prob. Wat I will do is to give d contracts to protect the pipes back to Tompolo, implement Confab report, Pass the PIB and after a while, we start practicing True Federalism. But some people(northern elites) willl never allow all these see the light of d day.
Worst of all Buhari is a tribal bigot, even some of his statements can sprung up these, den going after Tompolo again; he totally missed it,. Unlike GEJ who wanted equity and justice.

So you are suggesting absolute carrot on this one. But remember that approach didn't solve militancy.

This weekend we wake up to the reality of the devastating effect of pipeline vandalism in the Niger Delta which has brought the nation's oil production to a twenty year low, and the militants resolve to cause more havoc has never been stronger.
In as much we all know the Niger-Delta militancy is more political than resource control as evident in their past actions; for example the amnesty programme. Nevertheless it is the responsibility of the government to bring about the best and lasting solution to the problem, and for an optimist like me, I believe every problem has a solution.
It is not a rhetoric that the United States loves to repeat "we don't negotiate with terrorists" It's because of the advantageous nature of the stand.
Militancy (Terrorism or insurgency, whatever you want to call it) either with the carrot or the stick. OBJ chose the stick, and Yaradua chose the carrot. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
1. THE CARROT
The advantage of this as evident in Yaradua's regime is that it gives short term results within a month militants can be settled and production will immediately sour high.
The disadvantage is that the militants are now empowered and emboldened! A gang of 20 militants can divided into three and recruits their younger ones. With the money they are getting from the government they can get more weapons, bomb an oil installation and demand for amnesty for themselves again. This is what was happening throughout GEJ's reign. The problem becomes hydra headed ant it would not stop until virtually all Niger Deltans end up on amnesty payroll.
2. THE STICK
The stick as applied by OBJ has its disadvantages. The militants have the ability reduce the nation's oil production to an insignificant amount. The inevitable destruction of lives (civilians, security men, oil workers and the militants) and property worth billions of dollars will be at an unprecedented level. This must be why Yaradua went for the stick approach, because it would take not less than a year for militants to be completely routed from the creeks.
The advantage is that this is the only sure way for a lasting solution to this economic sabotage. Only time will tell which option PMB is willing to take.

Why is the government press release silent on the innocent Hausa people killed (the pic of the burnt corps in the thread)? Or are thier lives less valuable than that of the admonished breadwinner?
That's bias on the part of the state government. I support its attempt to stop reoccurrence by putting dialogue measures.

Wow Nice one johnudon22. So my favorite Amadioha is an Igbo god.
Let ask lalasticlala to help us ask more people after telling us his ancestors gods.

An idea just crossed my mind after seeing some names of native African gods mentioned here on Nairaland. Names like Amadioha, Ifa Sango, Ogun et al always captivate me and make me think of all those African deities being worshiped by our ancestors before the coming of Islam and later Christianity.
In my society Kano, I grew up hearing stories of Hausa gods like Barbushe and Tsimburbura. They were worshiped in a shrine on top the famous Dutsen Dala and Gwauron Dutse mountains in Kano city.
Please share those in your localities.
PS Am not advocating for idol worship, am just interested in history.

Mediapace and Socialmediaman, Please is it compulsory to indicate your class of degree (grade) in your CV?

Not compulsory, but it's highly recommend if you have a high CGPA say >3.50. But if it's low the best thing is just state the qualifications and leave out the class of degree and the CGPA. You are trying to make an impression.

When you are posted to a girls secondary school and they warn you: "If you try anything with our girls!"

Let me pray Isha'i, I dey come.

That is if Nigeria hasn't disintegrated before then

Nah its practically impossible for Nigeria to disintegrate. Simply because those to make it happen are the ones benefitting the most from its union.
Before you ask, they the legislators.
