lapazi: The real reason behind this law was as a result of the shite/zakzaki incident in zaria.... with such laws in place groups that spring up everyday and pose a genuine trait to the society will be put to check immediately...... I don't knw why christians are taking this personal, is it because most churches nowadays have been turned into money making ventures and they feel that with this law inplace their businesses will be affected? (Don't quote me-just thinking out loud) Can you imagine a group in kd called the "yan kala-Kato" they claim they are Muslims but don't believe in the Prophet. There by going about spreading falsehoodfalsehood. El Rufai continue with this good initiative....God will see you through. As for the wailing pple if u have to preach simply get your licence.
Simple
Hammefeez: [size=30pt]Elrufai is making sense![/size]
Yes he is. I have always been a critic of El Rufai but on this one I support him. I can't count how many riots have broken out in Kd because one charlatan imam or rubbish pastor went beyond the limits. Keep it up
Istand4justice: Do you judge argument based on personality that's a falacy.
No I don't. You have to look at the credibility of the person pushing forward a point. Senator Ben Murray Bruce is an International business man worth millions in dollar terms. If any thing he has suffered hugely from the ignorance in some parts of the North - The miss universe affair where riots inparts of kaduna cost him to lose out on millions he invested comes to mind. But he has looked at the matter objectively
kingzizzy: You don't have to support either of us. What you have to ask your self is if the north is the only place food can be found. Many years ago, my In-law was involved in importation of Rice from as far away as Japan.
In equally the same way, after selling agricultural produce, the north could buy crude oil from Niger or any African neighours
Osakah24: The truth is that Nigerian North and South Relationship is not mutually benefiting both parties. The Northern states get money from crude sales,the south should also get money from the sales of food items,Imagine a scenario where crude oil sales is shared amongst Southern states only their Northern counterparts will invest more in agriculture so that they too can export agricultural products to the world and even the southern Nigeria. It will be a win win situation for both parties.I really think True federalism will be the best system of government for this Country.
Why should crude oil proceeds be shared among all Southern states in that picture of yours, is it all Southern states that have crude oil? Last time I checked only Ondo, Delta,Cross river, Akwaibom, Bayelsa and Rivers possess commercial quantities.
kingzizzy: Ben Bruce makes me laugh with this postulation. Are the Notherners giving us this food for free? But the Northerers are taking the proceeds of oil for free in the name of 'one Nigeria'. The South does not depend on the north for anything, if there was no Northern Nigeria, us in the South would buy food from other countries like Cameroon,Benin Republic, Ghana etc and life would go on. But if there was no Southern Nigeria, only God knows what would have happend to the North by now.
Now whose argument should I support, that of Bruce, successful business man and senator who employs over a thousand people, or you, anonymous poster on NL?
This is an excerpt from Senator Ben Murray Bruce's COMMON SENSE REVOLUTION , his e-book available for free on the internet. It's like a compendium of all his common sense articles, it is informative .
Many Southerners erroneously think the North is dependent on the South. In actual fact, the reverse is the case!
I am disappointed in the Mod who put this on the front page. That is a black market operator by the road side, he is even more advanced than 99% of the black marketers in this country. Instead of confirming you just put it on the board. Oya, please where in Benue state precisely?
The company is wholly Nigerian owned and completely private. From what I've read the only problem they gave is getting land from state governments. Any minister or whatever that impedes such a young Nigerian will not end well
While some of us were here arguing about zombies and wailers, agric revolution by Nigerians like you and I is going on. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the system, it just goes on and on. . Look...
altALL Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate General Muhammadu Buhari has promised to build four new petroleum refineries in Nigeria if elected president during the forthcoming elections taking place later this month.
On March 28, Nigeria goes to the polls to elect a new president in what is looking like a tight two horse race between General Buhari and incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan. Petrol scarcity, corruption, insecurity, unemployment, power shortages and an over-dependence on oil and gas have been the key features of the campaign.
General Buhari said: “I have said that the APC as a party has identified three fundamental problems in this country. You cannot repeat them so often because everybody talks about them.
"They are insecurity, the destruction of the economy and corruption, which has become a vicious cycle. The state of insecurity, as we said when the election was extended by six weeks, is that if the Nigerian government and the military could me not tame Boko Haram for five years, what will they do in six weeks."
He added that the missing Chibok girls is really a great embarrassment to this country as since independence no such incidence has ever taken place. Accusing the government of doing nothing about their plight, General Buhari said the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had failed the country through what he termed misrule.
“We challenge the PDP, let them account for their stay in power for 16 years of rulership, in terms of the fundamental objectives we have been talking about in the three most important aspects, security, economy and corruption. We have been very consistent about these issues but people who are sitting on the periphery have kept on making noise and wasting our time.
ollah1: Madrid beat Roma home and away Wolfsburg beat Gent home and away PSG beat Chelsea home and away Benfica beat Zenith home and away If you are Arsenal fan what will come to your mind?
Culled
Dortmund are currently thrashing Spurs meaning ramdeuter will be singing about EPL for two weeks ?
Look here, this marriage and family thing is not a must. If you decide to live your life to someone else's standards, you'll end up like this man. The man should probably have been a bachelor in the Military or prison services and not the father of some innocent children.
nnachukz: Officers who are meant to protect us have always turned around to use us as practicing tool. Nothing always happens to them, that is why it will continue to happen. Imagine his statement; the lady was the one who assaulted me. Just imagine. Who is in hospital now? The lady assaulted him and got admitted in the hospital. How?
NMA awaits probe report on alleged air force officer’s battery of female doctor March 7, 2016
The Nigerian Medical Association in Osun State has said it was awaiting the report of its committee investigating a medical air force officer, Chukwuma Okpara, who was alleged to have battered a female doctor, Theresa Ugalahi, a staff of the Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital. Mr. Okpara, a Wing Commander with the Nigerian Air Force, on a residency programme at the OAUTH, was alleged to have assaulted Ms. Ugalahi, last week, inflicting injuries on her. The altercation was said to have been caused when the female doctor, living in the same residential building with Mr. Okpara, delayed in removing her car directly parked behind his car when he wanted to drive out of the compound. The Chairman of the NMA in the state, Suraj Ogunyemi, told PREMIUM TIMES on the phone that a committee had been set up to investigate the matter and appropriate sanctions would be meted out if the air force officer was found culpable. “The NMA as a body has its own way of dealing with such misconduct, because it is unprofessional and unethical,” Mr. Ogunyemi said. “The committee has a week to do their job and thereafter we see how it goes. That kind of conduct is unacceptable and it is unfortunate in this environment. It has not happened here before, we have never seen such.” According to Mr. Ogunyemi, the female doctor, who was immediately admitted to hospital after the incident, was responding to treatment.
“She needs all our support really,” he said. “It is a traumatic experience.” However, Mr. Okpara has since denied the allegation, saying instead it was the lady that assaulted him. He accused Ms. Ugalahi of hitting him with a pedal lock even when he did nothing to provoke her.
elampiro: Mark Dean saw an opportunity to dent our top four charge. He knew it was a matter of time we overtook City. Van Gaal says he has a philosophy, but he doesn't know how what players combination to utilize to achieve that Philosophy. He removed Herrera who mobility helped us in attacking, he left Carrick who stood like a statue and slowing down the game everytime he received a pass. Schneirderlin and Herrera are our best midfield combination. Blind should be relieved permanently of his defensive duties. He should only fill in there in times of crisis like Carrick does. Varela should continue in right back for now. Darmian has no attacking flair. DDG Val/Varela..Jones/McNair/Mensah..Chris..Rojo Schneirderlin... Herrera
