Yesterday I lost a grant application. Sadly, everything was due and certain disbursement will be done that yesterday - I had hoped my life and business would have turned around completely for good and it was significant enough to attend to my immediate needs.

Where it pained me is that a woman who was both my contact person and one who was acting to be "helping me" was actually the only one in the board who took it upon herself to criticize my application and insist that even if I should be granted, it should be next year. Myself and others were just look looking in amazement. She even when to the extent to be saying "He is into ICT services", "How many people need a website", "How many people are using Internet", "How many people even have a computer", etc. All my efforts to present facts and clarify fell on deaf ear - she even use an Internet-enabled Computer on her desk.

The point of this thread is that since that yesterday, I have been doing all I can do suppress the pain, disappointment and move pass it. But if I subdue the terrible feelings will it cause me any mental or psychological breakdown? Is it wrong to suppress pains and heartbreaks? How best can I handle the feeling?

Kindly share your opinion. I just don't want to run mad now or in future. This will be one of my most steep heartbreak so far.

ubcandid: please do enlighten me lady, which seaport is the largest in the country which he owns? am curious

Don't mind them. She even claimed ifeanyi ubah controls 40% of Nigeria oil sector. This people can lie. Am just curios why she also chose to insult the whole of Ndigbo by addressing us as ibos. We demand an unreserved apology from her.

After Nigerians marched the streets and brought out GEJ from Madam YarAdua's kitchen, Jonathan in his weakness, Mr. President have remain at the service of the Cabals.

He is so scared of them, he can't even bark.

And for my friends shouting 2015, Jonathan have no new ideas.

Can someone please tell us why the author, Ijeoma Okonkwo, should insult the entire Ndigbo by addressing us as [size=18pt]IBO[/size]. Is she an efulefu or the part of the borrowed money she got from Ifeanyi Ubah is entering her head. She should tender an unreserved apology before I charge her for Defamation (i.e. Libel and Slander).

advopaul: “To be curious means to look beyond what we think we know”, “to be curious is to discover” these are the words upon which discovery Channel was built on. Am really not a big fan of discovery channel, but these words really got me thinking as to how far one needs to look to truly discover who he is and most importantly what others will discover about him. It was based on this thoughts that I decided to reply or better still educate and illuminate some of my friends on Nairaland that picking up your mobile phone and writing uninformed article about people and posting them on social network simply because it is free isn’t a show intelligence. Sometimes I wonder if we realize that writing or making untrue statements about people with the aim of reducing the integrity of such persons in the eyes of the public amounts to both civil and criminal offence generally known as Defamation i.e. Libel and Slander. After all to be curious means to look beyond what we think we know. I have read lots of beautiful articles on Nairaland and other social networks and blogs, but I will only respond to the article written by a Nairalander titled “IFEANYI UBAH HAS GONE BROKE”. I must confess, the author did a wonderful work with the title, but the content was nothing to write home about. It was indeed a nice write up, but it would have made lot of sense if the author was curious and courageous enough to look beyond what he thought he knew. My conclusion after going true the article was the fact that the author had a misconception about his subject matter which in this case was Dr Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah, it was obvious that his write up was written with sentiments and most importantly lack of knowledge and respect for his subject matter.Furthermore, it was obvious from his piece that he is from Anambra State and most importantly he is intimidated by the achievements of his subject matter. This may be attributed to the fact that he is approaching his early forty with nothing to show for it or simply because he fills that no Nigerian could have amassed such wealth at such tender age or probably because he thought he could make the front page for the first time with such defamatory write up, but am sure by now he knows better.

A man once said that, the only way to test one’s strength is to test his limits. The question then is, how do one test the limits of one’s strength? Will it be his physical, financial or intellectual strength? For the purpose of this article I will implore we look beyond what we think we have read and heard in the dailies in testing the strength of this rear gem. To some Dr Patrick ifeanyi Ubah is said to be the greatest philanthropist in the history of anambra State, the Youngest achiever the state has ever produced and most importantly the highest employer of Anambra Indigene in the history of the State since creation. A man who was said to be the first and only Nigerian to donate $300,000 to Chinese Government to relieve the victims of the devastated earthquake in China. I know at this point some may argue,“of what benefit is that to Nigeria talk more to Anambrarian”, but we all know the importance of such gesture in times of investments and capital developments in Anambra. Furthermore, he is said to be controlling over 40% of the downstream oil sector in Nigeria, I know a lot of people will say and so bloody what or of what importance is that if he controls over 40% of the downstream sector, but a critical look will prove otherwise. This feat would have amounted to nothing or will be of little significance if it was owned by aYoruba or an Hausa man, this is simply because they are the major players in our economy, but the fact that this young [size=18pt]Ibo[/size] man could have gotten to this point ahead of major players like Otedola, dantata and the famous Dangote is evidential that he has something other [size=18pt]Ibo[/size] businessmen lack. The [size=18pt]Ibo’s[/size] we always cry foul of being marginalized by other tribes not knowing that their marginalization is attributed to their past and present decisions. The subsidy scandal is a good example. How many northerners and southerners were mentioned in the subsidy fraud? While the [size=18pt]Ibo’s[/size] saw it as an opportunity to discredit and take over the company of their own, the hausa and the yorubas saw it as an opportunity to send a message to other regions that tribe is of more importance to political gains and association. If the [size=18pt]Ibo’s[/size] must attain a respectable position in the political history of Nigeria, they must rise above individualism to regionalism i.e. invest and promote their region before personal and individual gains. I have gone through all the biography of the gubernatorial candidates in anambra State but none of them as far as am concerned has the qualities of Dr Ifeanyi Ubah. Is it Ngige? A former PDP member, former illegal Governor of the State, and currently a senator under the platform of ACN now APC? Am sure u will agree with me that this man is due for retirement, or is it Peter Obi’s pet Obiano? A man who as far am concerned is better off as a commissioner or Chief of Staff to whoever emerged as the Governor of the state. In as much as I know that Dr Ifeanyi Ubah might have its flaws and weaknesses I still believe that he has much more to offer than the other two candidates fused together.A man loved by many but hated by those who fill his just too young to own the largest Sea port in Nigeria or probably because he choose to train and educated the youths of his State abroad so they can contribute to the industrialization of their state or may be simply because they just can’t withstanding an [size=18pt]Ibo[/size] Man becoming a Billionaire without shedding blood or simply because he is DR PATRICK IFEANYI UBAH. Whatever reason they might have, one thing is clear and indisputable, he is indeed a blessing to his country, friends and most especially to his people, immediate and extended family.

In conclusion, we realize that elections are not won on the pages of Newspapers, social networks or blogs, if it were, ACN would have clinched Ondo State gubernatorial election early this year and Jonathan would not have been able to win Lagos State during the last presidential elections. Why my views and opinions alone cannot win the election for Dr Ifeanyi Ubah, I still believe that a subjective and informed articles is of immense benefit to the growth of our democracy. With these words “To be curious means to look beyond what we think we know” I say let who the cap fits wear it.

Igwe iga di ooo! Everyone should disregard these Fidelity Bank staffs and their umbrellar partners.

Dr. Ngige all the way!

OP is this an attempt at Journalism? It looks like pain-in-the-tooth

Brimmie: Since Oga Jona Sey Hin No Knw If Shekau Don Kpai.. Make I Kuku Assume Sey E Still Dey Alive!

To Base 2 Abeg!

donphilopus: Either Buhari/Oshimole or Buhari/Rochas i wold have said or Buhari/Fashola, but Nigerians won't like 2 Muslims

If you are talking of a ticket that will get the number, Buhari/Fashola all the way. Buhari has a legacy of giving his deputies free hand to do their best. There have never been a Nigerian leader that replicated that - Ask Tunde Idiagbon.

Since it will be hard for Ndigbo to get the Presidency in 2015, I did prefer a leader that will have thing functional. Ndigbo will beat any competition once there is a level-playing ground.

I like this..

Here in Trans-Ekulu, Enugu - we only have light sparsely. Am spending unnecessarily of fuel at home and work.

Ikengawo: Red = PDP AGPA
Bold = APC Unrepentant bastards

@Bold: I blame your parents for not teaching you how to be responsible in public. (Respect is reciprocal - What you sow is what you reap).

Until as a nation we hold our leaders accountable in the management of our resources, Jonathan and his team will steal us dry.

@ Hezron Lorraine:
The issue is very simple - if the government since they arrested him can not find any evidence against him, let them let him go. And if the government until now have no credible evidence all this while to make these people, this government have failed.

^^^ And who told you am asking for a wireless service? I believe you are not blind. Create a thread and promote your wears, stop polluting my thread.

soloqy: Hosgator , Bluehost

Legendwap: vhey try www.eclubhost.com 30days money back.

I will lookup their plans and features. Thanks guys.

Hezron Lorraine: We forget something. A court of law is presided by a Judge who has the final say.Its one thing to bring for a case,its another for the judge to deem the case palatable and worthy of debate.Kabiru Sokoto is obviously held in contempt by almost everyone whether or not evidence proves him guilty or innocent.which sums up to,his case won't find the favour of the court.

So court prosecution is now based on prejudice and not on available evidence? So if the government arrest you, tanish you name with falsehood, get enough people to hate you - the court can now base on that convict you? Is that what you are telling us?

Until the Jonathan and his team start gather evidence, properly initiate arrests, take them to court immediately and present their case as required by law - until they do that, nothing will improve.

If they keep on with this current charade, then I put it to you that the President is either supporting what is going on or protecting the real perpetrators of the the killing and stealing going on.

Jonathan have a better smile of deception. You should be nominating Jonathan for the worst leadership of all time. #Corruption tinz

Hezron Lorraine: It will only make publicity.His suit is as good as disregarded.

My question is why should it be disregarded? If the government have evidence against him, why not present it and have him prosecuted? He is only a bad guy because the FG says so - then where is the evidence?

Since Nigerians have been dieing like chicken, how many people have been prosecuted? The administration is not only corrupt, it is also deceptive. Again the President said "He know those that are using bombs to kill Nigerians and their sponsors". Since people are still dieing, why are these sponsors are not facing firing squads?

chima12: You haven't answered my question.

What type of answers are you waiting for? For all I understand, the private company could have wanted to do it in Abuja, the State government partnered in order to benefit from the revenue. Moreover it will be lease, rented or sold faster in Abuja.

Am only happy it is a completed project and not another "will", "to" kind of announcements like someone is always doing.

Jonathan unequivocally said "I know those behind all the bombings". Either Jonathan is shielding them from prosecution or he is the one behind it.

damyoyepitan: Mail ololadeoyepitan @yahoo.co.uk.he can sort it

Thanks for trying to help. But recommendation/links you cannot post here, then and certainly NOT interested. Thanks.

Hello guys I have had my own share of pains with our local web host resellers (as I write this my clients' sites are down and they are not even responding to calls, sms or emails). Their client area/support ticket system is even down.

- Robust Space
- Very Stable Servers (offering Linux)
- I also need something affordable (it's an emergency)
- Good support

Please just let me know what works don't try to post any junk please (am not interested). Its very urgent.

NB: I have over 200 site I will need to transfer immediately. Guys help. Thanks.

Lies deposited in the vault of Fidelity Bank.

President is running Government of the "Committees, by the Committees for the Committees"

The major problem is that the recommendations are not implemented.

All hail fidelity bank. Abeg also salute their staff hear telling us the man is playing hide and seek. Pathetic.

That is a full description of the PDP in Nigeria.

Billyonaire: Civilized minds will always decipher the contents of message before responding to a post.

Mature minds will always respond on the message and not the person that echoed the statement.

Truth is truth, whether its spoken by satan or Gods.

And you my friend, will always find a way to praise dumb statements from corrupt politicians in Nigeria. Billy-wannabe.

1. Nigeria will like Jonathan to know he is free to vacate the seat if he can not face Boko Haram, criminals and corrupt politicians.

2. Also CAN should face the gospel of Christ and leave Politics alone.

In Nigeria, we want leaders that takes the issue of uniting, developing and empowering Nigerians seriously. Not those that attract only criminals, boko boys, worst politicians - and granting them pardon too.

Ahmed Gulak has lied so much in one year to keep the money Jonathan is giving him that I can't believe anything he is saying.

If he is telling the truth why can't he name them?

OP are sure you are alright? Of all things this is what is causing you sleepless night?
