The writer belongs to a wasted generation, he is a PDP goon, an old brat not worthy to be taken seriously, the worst part is that his criticisms lacks depth of thought.

Whether he belongs to olumba olumba or Omatse group, i dont care, what nigerians really need from him is a strong and sincere commitment to the development of the nigerian state.

Olanight: Quite pathetic we still ve some Morons in NL...is sendin more troops d only fin hes done naw...GEJ indirectly naw over sees security in dese state thru hes military war lords....AssHOLE

Everytime you check a mirror, you will see a Mor0n staring at you.

At the rubbish in bold, is that not the situation pre proclamation of "play to the gallery "state of emergency.

Were the JTF *Joint Task force troops not in those states before overseeing the security? Iddddiooooot

The state of emergency is shiiiit as far as i am concerned, the questions i ask any reasonable person is.
is there a need to address the nation to deploy more troops to a warring state ? deployment of more troops is the only seemingly reasonable thing the State of emergency claim to address.

The c in c need to be sincere with himself and stop playing to the gallery.

Not a bad idea, For those complaining hygeine, it will be an evolving process, as they will also learn to be neat, even the Agberos (NURTW, who stay under the sun already wear uniforms, white and green with beret.

Without trying to be negative, in an exam were 158,000 were called for test, they will hardly interview 5,000 at the end of the process, what this means is that the failure rate of applicants at the aptitude test will be over 95%.

So no need to bicker, if you are not called, simply MOVE ON, the volume of applicants invited for apt. test necessitates that qualification for interview will be highly competitive.

it is not for 2015, if it is , i am sure Edo state, Imo state and Rivers state governors are not part of that.

The United States of America Ambassador to Nigeria, Terence McCulley, said yesterday that his country was not interested in influencing the outcome of Nigeria’s Presidential election scheduled for 2015.

Speaking on the Kaduna- based Liberty Radio programme’s Guest of the Week, the envoy said that the US does not have any candidate for the 2015 election, and that its only concern is a credible and transparent election better than that of 2011.

The US Ambassador was asked to react to a request by the President’s Assistant on Niger Delta Affairs, Kingsley Kuku, that the US government is in support of the President’s re-election bid in 2015.

His words: “We don’t have a candidate for the 2015 elections except that we want credible and transparent elections and a process where all Nigerians can peacefully exercise their right to vote. We are not going to take a position on any individual candidate.

“We are going to help the Nigerian people to ensure that the elections in 2015 are better than the one in 2011. It is up to the Nigerian people to respond to Hon. Kuku’s statement. We don’t take a decision on individual political candidates.

“We believe that Nigeria has made great progress in the construction of its democratic institutions and we hope that in 2015, it is going to be peacefully contested on issues and the Nigerian people will decide on who they will vote for….”

Nigeria’s image, he stressed, could be improved if the government addressed issues of corruption and insecurity in the country.

“What Nigeria needs to do to effect a change to its brand is to attack corruption, address insecurity, ensure that there is a level playing field for all investors, and ensure that there is an end to the culture of impunity,” he said.

According to him, all those found to be corrupt or commit abuses should be tried.

He said once that is done “you are going to have more people come to Nigeria.”

The US envoy also spoke on the recent killings in Baga, Borno State. He said: “I think we don’t know all of the facts on Baga and I will certainly encourage investigation of what happened there by government and other organisations like the Red Cross so that we can be fully informed.

“But as a general principle, in looking at the insecurity in the north, we see terrible, terrible acts perpetrated by extremists who attack some government offices, attacks on individuals. We saw what happened in Kano. In January 2012 we saw what happened in Kaduna, we condemned them.

“At the same time, in looking at the reaction and response of the security forces, clearly they have a duty to provide security, to go after these people who are killing other people, at the same time they need to do so with a fashion that respects rights…..

“This is a difficult systematic war that the Nigerian military is engaging them in the north and there would be incidents where they are excessive.

“But they need to end this culture of impunity. There is need to bring to prosecution those who commit crimes. There is need to be punishment for those who are killing. Because that is a strong and powerful signal to the people of the north who are most affected by this. The security forces are there to protect themselves.”

omodapson: It does.

Well, i am not aware of that, i joined the bus for the first time on friday, and there was no learners tag on it, and BTW, it is free of charge, if anyone thinks {s)he is not safe, then take the alternative, which is your own vehicle or another mode of public transport.

Oyo State is recently test running the mass transit buses to aid transportation within the state,as it is currently free of charge for commuters, it does not have a designated buses driving school yet, but will need lots of drivers, as more buses will be introduced in weeks from now, i guess they are testing would be drivers.That bus with a learners tag, i think does not have passengers.

@shine117, your analysis sucks, 70% gibberish

He is playing tennis at the squash court ?

For some regions, religion is a dominant theme in voting, infact not only religion, bt denomination.

Catholic, Anglican, methodist e.t.c SMH.

Abagworo: You are so engulfed in tribalism that you have reasoned along the same line as the propaganda machine of the PDP.The Emir of Zaria and Emir of Kano whose houses were burnt are staunch PDP supporters.This is not about tribe but about what I already know that Jonathan did not win the election.I also know that the next four years will be wasted like the last 12.Mark it anywhere and remember what I wrote today that this administration just like the last two will be marred by cycle of strikes,high diesel price,political killings,inflation,militancy,poverty and unemployment.The only positive thing is that there will be slight improvement in power but not enough for stability.

Hmmm, you saw from a sitting position,what your fellow Igbo brothers could not see from a standing position. Kudos.

https://www.nairaland.com/667588/video-pdp-underage-vote-rigging#8326938

THIS IS A LINK TO PDP UNDERAGE VOTING IN THE NORTH VIDEO OF PDP RIGGING IN THE NORTH

The question we then ask is if PDP can rig this much for GEJ in its weeakest base(northern nigeria), your guess is as good as mine as the type of rigging that went on in GEJ's home base(the south east and south south).

Voters turnout of 85% in SE / SS against 30-50% in other parts of Nigeria is questionable. The Magic numbers from those regions were FRAUD. GEJ won in the SE/SS, BUT not anywhere close to the magic numbers declared for him.

I opined that most of the underaged voters voted for PDP and Jonathan in the North.

There are video evidence of PDP solo thumb printing of ballot papers in bauchi, and some other northern states, i will strive to get it and post it here.

Esss: I actually visited Osun State during easter and I must say I was impressed. Prolly the best Yoruba state capital after Lagos.

I don't know where you visited in osun state, permit me to assume it is the state capital, osogbo.

oshogbo is ranked number 5 out of the six yoruba states. Abeokta,Akure,Ikeja and Ibadan are more developed .


Apart fashola that has spent 6 years, all the ACN sw governors have done a yeomans job in 2-2.5years they have spent, based on what they met, and what the state looks like now in terms of urban renewal.

Make i talk my own too, Talking about size, it could be length or width(diameter).

A womans vj is about 4.5inches on the avg, the g spot is some 2 inches. so all the 7 inches or more noise is mere psychology, but psychology also matters in sex.

The width(diameter), i think matters considerably than the length, a woman with a narrow opening will feel pain until the expansion happens

A wide opening will also mean the man will barely enjoy, the more reason doctors reccomend kegel exercise for ladies after vj child birth.

Sorry Op, for the diversion.

WhyMe222: Sincerely my brother. This was my foremost position but wifey said she cannot stay married to me while I bring in another woman. She even said she can't afford to share me. Ain't that laughable? She is just lucky I am the man I am. Age does really make us wiser.

This is the more reason why i see your wife as callous and so self centered, why is she giving you conditions, she ought to have stayed neutral and keep mute about that, when you suggested you want to take such a step, "she cant afford to share you" is not a statement of love, it is a self centered position from her ...... . A truly remorseful wife could make a statement such as "right now, all i care about is keeping our marriage and making it work again and regaining your trust, i know you have the final decision".

WhyMe222: Viola! Some of your analysis align with my thoughts exactly. I laugh at your regarding me as a wimp. A good man/hubby is slow to anger because most times, actions resulting from anger are usually always regretted. I am a realist by nature in view of my person and the constellations that control my being if you believe in zodiacs. I analyze issues before reaching a conclusion which usually is irreversible as I must have weighed the pros and cons. To add to that, I was trained to uphold my principles by my father which he said are the virtues of a real man. I drilled her thoroughly to understand the rational behind her action and her answers were "I sincerely can not explain what happened or how it got to this point".

Well, thank you everyone for your contributions. They are all weighty and have their strength and weaknesses. I have done several online research, read my Bible "even though I wouldn't want to make quotes", the Bible made it clear in the New Testament that the only reason a man can leave his wife is on the grounds of infidelity. There was never a clause that absorbs the action as a fallout of the man's philandering nature or inability to cater for his wife emotionally and physically. I want to state equivocally here that I never did fall short in my duties as a husband. It might not always all be rosy as it is part of the make-up of the life we live in for there to be seasons. The bible also made mention of a "virtuous woman" which I had expected her as a married woman and every other married woman to tow such path.

I did both registry and church wedding as demanded to know by some respondents.

My decision to cover her up did not stem from the fact that I am a wimp or that she is the bread winner (she is not) of our home, it is borne out of genuine love not to ridicule her and turn her a laughing stock amongst her friends, neighbors and colleagues. What do i stand to gain if I ridicule her? I don't pay evil for evil. Her parents will sure get to know because I won't want them to have the impression that I used and dumped their daughter. I have fought a good fight but it all seems I am loosing in every front. When I sit back and analyze the whole thing, I can't find any grounds to stand on to begin the healing and repair of the damage done. Maybe if it had happened once, and just maybe around this time when our girl has passed the early infant age and again protection used, it will be pardonable and most likely easier too.

I thank you all and I pray when it is eventually over, God will give me a woman who will see the good man in me and hold sacred her vow, see herself as the mother of the house, make a concerted effort to be the "virtuous woman" to me as described in the bible.

I appreciate you all.

You are evidently mature, but tread carefully, a lady's heart is deep.

Toks2008: I am sure this kid sister did not advice divorce.

You even lack maturity and decorum in the way you address issues so can't you see that you don't have what it takes to contribute in a constructive manner? No offense intended but just wondering.

You can't and will never understand marital issues until you are married. This is the truth.

You lost the tag of maturity and decorum, when you asked the condescending question "who be this?, are you married"

Action and reaction are equal but opposite

Toks2008: I am sure this kid sister did not advice divorce.

The situation is different, the bible accepts divorce in case of sexual immorality.

I recommend divorce for the OP not necessarily jst because his wife cheated on him, but the strings of circumstances surrounding the situation.

he is not happy with the wife for goodness sake,the lady also has emotional needs, they are now two strangers living together, and it wont get better if they continue to stay together. A temporary or permanent breakup is the way forward

Toks2008: I quite appreciate your contribution. Nevertheless i believe you are still in the theoretic stage, when you get to the practical session then you will be more justified to contribute.

That is the fallacy some people operate with. I have seen an unmarried kid sister save her elders sisters marriage (a long story i wont go in to). Life is not simply black and white. Always open your mind to learn.

Toks2008: Who be this? Are you married?

I am emiye and single.

Btw, who be you? i almost asked you if you are happily married.

I have made my point, i am certain the OP can not heal without separation, if at all he wants to keep his relationship

@Toks2008, i read your story, i wish you the best, your wife seems smart by separating from you for now, i will advice you cut communication with her temporarily, stop unsettling her with your calls and FB msgs, abscence makes the heart grow fonder, if she still loves you.

Ah, na serious matter be dis o.

certainly, it is really painful for you, (1) your wife cheated on u (2)your fake family friend(triple f) cheated on u.
(3) your wife was having sex with the triple f, 4 months after child birth and breadfeasting your adorable daughter. (4) your wife was/is emotionally attached with the triple f, based on the subject of the mail that exposed her (ifemi) (5)She had sex repeatedly with the man (6) you had never cheated on her (7)i sense you used to hold her in high esteem to believe she couldnt have acted as she did.

My perception of your wife, based on all you have said, which might be wrong, bt i am close to certain i am not.

(1) She is a callous woman, it is even more confirmed, when you claimed she is intelligent.

(2) The remorse is not deep seated, she only feels very sober for being caught.


My submission is for you to seek for divorce, and you mutually agree on the custody of ur daughter. If she gets desperate as regards your lack of attention (sex and the rest), she may go diabolical on you soonest, coz i am almost certain she is callous

BUT, if you dont want to tow the divorce option, then you are wasting time, trying to heal still living with her under the same roof, you have spent 8 months trying to heal, the next 12 months still living with her will not change the situation, the only way out is SEPARATION, you can start with 3 months(only known to u), send her back to her parents house, if they live around, if not get a small apartment for her to stay coz of her job.

I wish u the best.

VAQAXY: “APGA wishes to state categorically that it is not in any merger plan with any party or political association as that will negate the vision of the founding fathers.” (NAN)


http://www.vanguardngr.com/2013/05/apga-urges-gov-okorocha-to-re-think-plans-to-join-apc/

That must be shortsightedness from APGA, it is a drowning party, only a merger can save it, in anambra state 2011 senatorial elections, APGA lost all the 3 senatorial slots (2 to PDP and 1 to ACN), even in imo state, they lost 2 out of 3 senatorial slots. Okorocha won imo state for APGA, not the other way round.

The fake founding fathers (triple F) are APGA in the day and PDP in the night.

shymexx: Who made that guy a "Dr.?"

Dr. Stupid!!!

A medical doctor

I believe, this is a good move, APGA is dying in the SE stronghold, will suffer a bigger dent in 2014 in anambra state, loosing to PDP WILL be catastrophic.

The second example lies within the ranks of the clergy. The first African Anglican Bishop and the first man to translate the Holy Bible and Book of Common Prayer to any African language (outside of Ethiopia) was a Yoruba ex-slave who gave his life to Christ, won his freedom and rose up to become one of the greatest and most respected clerics and leaders that the African continent has ever known by the name of Bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther. Unknown to many his original name was Rev. John Raban but he changed it in his early years. Crowther got his first degree at the famous Fourah Bay College in Sierra Leonne (which at that time was part of Durham University). He was ordained as an Anglican Bishop in 1864 and in that same year he was awarded a Doctorate degree from Oxford University.

This extraordinary man who was blessed by God with an exceptionally brilliant mind was, as far as I am concerned, one of the greatest Africans that ever lived. He not only translated the Holy Bible and the Book of Common Prayer to Yoruba (an extremely difficult, complicated and painstaking venture which he began in 1843 and which he completed in 1888) but he also codified a number of other christian books and he translated them into the Igbo and Nupe languages. He was literally the pillar and foundation of the Anglican church in west Africa. Throughout his adult life he courageously stood up and fought for the rights and the dignity of the African and he, more than anyone else, was responsible for the spread, influence and power of the christian faith in Nigeria in the late 19th century. He was also the maternal grandfather of the great nationalist Herbert Macaulay who, together with Nnamdi Azikiwe, founded the political party known as the NCNC in 1944. Crowther was also the father-in-law of Rev. Thomas Babington Macauly who founded the Christian Missionary Society Grammar School (CMS Grammar School) in 1859 in what was then the Lagos Colony. CMS Grammar School was the epitome of excellence and a citadel of great learning in those days. It was also the oldest secondry school in Nigeria and the main source of African clergymen and administrators in the Lagos Colony. It is not surprising that it was the son-in-law of the great Bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther that founded such a school and that it was his grandson that founded one the greatest political parties that the African continent has ever known. This is another first for the Yoruba.

Yet who are these people and where did they come from? What is their origin and what is their source of strength? What were their migratory patterns over the last 30,000 and more years and how did they end up in Ile-Ife? What is their connection to the Middle East, to the Arabs of Mecca and Medina, to the ancient Egyptians and to the Nubians of the Sudan? What makes them so special and so peculiar all at the same time? What makes their religious set-up so complicated and so profund and what allows each of the great monotheic faiths of christianity and islam together with the traditional religions to flourish and excel amongst the very same people at the same time? Why are the Yoruba so accommodating of outsiders and what is responsible for their liberal disposition when it comes to their dealings with people from other cultures, other faiths and other nationalities? Why is it that so many Yoruba families have mixed ancestral bloodlines that go back hundreds (and in some cases thousands) of years with so many different nationalities from outside Yorubaland and indeed from outside Nigeria, including the Bahians of Brazil, the Haitians and Cubans of Port Au Prince and Havana, the Creoles of Freetown (Sierra Leone , the Ga’s of Accra (Ghana), the tribes of Dahomey (Benin Republic), the Edo, the Bini, the Itsekiri and other tribes from the old Mid-Western region of southern Nigeria and the Nupe, the Hausa, the Fulani, the Shuwa Arab and the Kanuri from the north? What is the cultural and spiritual affinity of the Yoruba with the people of the old Northern region and the people of the old Mid-Western region and why are the people from those two regions and those from the South-West collectively referred to as the ”Sudanese Nigerians”? Some of these questions may never be answered but in the sequel to this essay we will attempt to at least view and analyse the Yoruba from a historical perspective and this may explain why they are what they undoubtedly are- ”primus inter pares”, the first amongst equals.
