one of the ways to be recognized is doing things in a different way. Yahaya should have make him take the oath of office in his kitchen. if faleke doesn't like it, let him choose either river NIGER or the lagoon depending on where he is when the news get to him. if he is Lagos, d lagoon will save him some stress but if he is in Abuja, he can do with river NIGER.

How many people have noticed that it is only the APC state governments that are the major thorns in Nigeria's flesh...Osun and Imo...well i blame imo people for voting rochas...they wanted change now they have been scamed

You are right, even Ekiti is also APC state.

I would advice you to tell your husband because it once happened to me but it was while he was using his stethoscope on my chest and the next thing he started touching my breast asking if I do examine it,immediately I collected that his stupid instrument and hit it on his head and used my shoe on him and I kept shouting till people came. I told my mum and she followed the case up. It happened in a general hospital. He faced the hospital committee . Women stop keeping quiet when been molested,stop it! Fight back

your case is different from hers, remember she went for lump check. I think the only issue here is the young doc smiling seeing her body response. beside he may also had smile to make her feel comfortable but was misinterpreted. if you haven't gone for breast cancer test before, you need to read on how to examine breast for breast cancer. touching the tip is part of the test. the Op should let d sleeping dog be. her husband had imagined the possibility of a doc touching his wife's breast wen he gave his concent he will be feel furious to hear that the test went beyond his imagination. pls next time, ask for a female doc. other ladies in the house take note, wen u go for such test pls state you doc preference.

My name is Adetoke Oluwo. I feel it is necessary I share my story so as to shed light to the way fraudsters dupe unsuspecting Nigerians and also to expose the shady AIRTEL STAFF who aided them.

My purse with other documents and ID cards were stolen last year April and as usual, I got an affidavit for it.
This year January, I got a call from Airtel Ibadan concerning a sim swap I wanted to do in Ibadan (I work and live in Lagos). I immediately informed them that it's fraud when
they told me the person brought one of the id cards that was stolen.
I immediately went to AIRTEL IKEJA CITY MALL to report and told them to flag and fortify security on my sim as my Airtel line is connected to all my Bank accounts. I even asked how it was possible for anybody to walk in and almost swapped my sim without any form of security . The staff said they will do something about it.
On Thursday night, 4th of February, I noticed my network was down and I waited till Friday to go report and they told me to wait for hours. THEY DID NOT TELL ME MY SIM HAD BEEN SUCCESSFULLY SWAPPED BY FRAUDSTERS, The Staff tried to hide it and told me to fill a form of sim replacement. I did not know at that point that my money was being moved as I sat there!!!
I left the Office and discovered on my other phone that 400 THOUSAND NAIRA HAS BEEN TRANSFERRED FROM MY GTB ACCOUNT THROUGH MOBILE MONEY WITH THAT NUMBER ALL THE WHILE MY SIM WAS DOWN FROM THURSDAY NIGHT TO FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
My email address must have been seen in one of the documents stolen,and the number is where Yahoo would send my recovery password to. All it took them was to SWAP MY SIM and click on forget password to access my email that had my Bank details saved.
It was when I went back to AIRTEL IKEJA CITY MALL to shout that the Staff told me my Sim had been Swapped. Before they lied that it was damaged and told me to fill a form for REPLACEMENT! !!

I requested for the Staff who swapped my sim for this FRAUDSTERS and they refused to say anything. They even harassed me and sent me out of their store for causing nuisance.

This money is meant to be part of the Course I saved a Year for to go study in London, I was maltreated and duped and an AIRTEL STAFF AIDED THE FRAUDSTERS. EVEN AFTER I COMPLAINED SINCE JANUARY FOR MY SIM TO BE FORTIFIED!!

BECAUSE HOW IS IT POSSIBLE FOR SOMEONE WHO ISN'T ME TO SUCCESSFULLY SWAP MY LINE WHEN THEY HAD MY PICTURE RIGHT INFRONT OF THEM!!!

PLEASE SHARE SO I CAN GET MY MONEY BACK, SO JUSTICE CAN BE DONE, SO OTHER NIGERIANS TOO CAN LEARN FROM MY EXPERIENCE AND PROTECT THEMSELVES. PLEASE SHARE.

Hmmmmm.


1960-2000.
We seldom hear of rape cases!! Why?
Because children dress properly.. U hardly see their tiles or cleavage.


This days... The way children (14-17) dress, even a male he goat will get attention down below.


The bomb shot or wateva they wear will just expose everything down dia.

The short skirts they were just expose everything down there assuming they mistakenly forget to close their legs.


The sagged tops or short tops they wear just expose all the cleavages and give way for those little mango size pointed nipples to stare @ sons of men.




Mothers please dress your kids properly and kick some western practices to the dustbin.


Some men have extremely high libido and the devil himself is also @ work.

we dont hear of it then because the social media was not there, some human right agencies that now exist were very few then and with low awareness on their existence besides if not for social media, would u have know about this one? the level of rape then was even higher than now that people know when they commit such crime in Lagos, someone in owerri, kogi, Kaduna etc could read of the story online with their name clearly mentioned in the media.

I once travelled to my childhood friend's place and had to spent days, one day while he was away and I was on bed pressing my phone, his smart daughter of about 3 came around and initially was trying to loose my belt, though my attention was drawn to wat she was doing but I thought it was a normal children playing with something they consider different from wat they ve been seeing. so I was busy with my phone and left her to play on.
after some fruitless effort, all of a sudden the little girl jump on me, open her legs around my waist and was making sex move, I quickly drop my phone and try to bring her down to one side of the bed but to my surprise, the little girl stage protest resisting my move. I had to force her down and quickly stood up. ever since then, I reduced my closeness to her each time i visit and also avoid staying with her alone because I don't know how to tell her parents that their 3yrs child already know more than she should.

Taaa Igbo's worship money. I lived there for over a decade and I know more of their culture. who ever said Igbo fear no man is economical with the truth. emulation is better than jealousy. learn from this post to respect constituted authority.

It is Yoruba tradition

The Ooni's father is still alive, he has to prostrate to his son when he comes to the Palace

His mother is deceased (May she RIP). If she was alive, she will kneel down until her son tells her to rise.

To all intents and purposes, he is no longer their son but their spiritual head ordained by the gods of our land

Anywhere I see him, I will prostrate flat and not stand up until I'm told to do so

Kabiyesi, Ki Ade pelori, ki bata pelese. Ikeji Orisha

I sometimes heard is an abomination for the king to have his father prostrate before him in greeting. pls can u throw more light on that?

if you take her to a pastor now she will say all wat the man knows is prayer and prayer yet she wants a God fearing man. you take her to Dangote, d marriage will collapse the following week because Dangote will be too busy to know she exist yet she need a hard working man.
I asking ladies to look for something different from their view of life, its fascinating because you will have the opportunity to learn other side of life and also teach someone your own understanding of life.
truth be told, Yemi Alade is by God's grace, a successful woman, why is she so bend to getting a reach(not just by saying it but must show it) man.

Bvn started from Jonathan era

and u think Jonathan has the will to make it effective? if yes where were EFCC, Custom, petrol marketers etc during GEJ administration?
the marketers turned him to their toy while custom were busy sharing our revenue since oga at the top was ineffectual, the EFCC became shadow of itself.

Osun, my ex served there when the going was good. the very day I stepped into the community, the same day I started planning her relocation to Enugu and eventually she was relocated.
they careless of education but more of jazz.

NavierStokes:
Can you kindly update this house on what foreign reserves is, and in the case of Nigeria the sources of foreign reserves and who or what agency is responsible for managing the reserves. Then some of us may be able to understand what you and your numerous cohorts accuse GEJ of, every now and then.

Understanding the difference between the
Excess Crude Account (or sovereign wealth
fund) and a Centranl Bank’s External
Reserves

There seems to be a lot of confusion on the
difference between the ECA and the CBN’s
external reserves and what constitutes good and
bad policy regarding both accounts so I am going
to try to clear it up with this post.
First we have the Excess Crude Account (or the
new Sovereign Wealth Fund). The point of this
account is to guarantee revenues for the
Government if there is a significant drop in its
regular revenues. Such a drop could come from
an economic downturn that reduces tax revenues
to levels below expectations or more specific to
Nigeria’s case a crash in oil prices. Something
which happens very frequently. Good fiscal policy
would be to set the budget based on a logical
revenue benchmark and save all the unexpected
extra revenue. Hence the ECA should be
increasing during “good times” and decreasing
during “bad times”. This guarantees, in our
specific case, that government policy is not
affected by fluctuations in oil prices. The ECA is
usually domiciled outside the domestic economy
to protect from domestic downturns. Basically the
ECA is a glorified government savings account. At
this pont it is important to note that the
government does NOT mean the CBN. The
government here is just the federal, state and
local governments.
Secondly we have the CBN’s external reserves
which is really just the physical ( or readily
available) amount of foreign currency the central
bank has at its disposal. Foreign exchange
markets are usually very volatile and one of the
primary objectives of the CBN is to ensure price
and monetary stability, conditions which are
ideal for economic growth. Exchange rates are
ALWAYS determined by the demand and supply of
any particular foreign currency and the central
bank acts to stabilize these rates by either selling
some of its stock of reserves to increase supply
hence reducing rates or buying up some foreign
currency from the market to raise rates. The
point of maintaining reserves is for the CBN to
have the ability to stabilize the rates. Remember
the CBN cannot print foreign currency so it needs
to have physical ( or readily available ) stock of
foreign currency to be able to act to stabilize
exchange markets. Note that the CBN cannot use
the reserves for anything else. For instance the
CBN cannot use the reserves to build a highway.
That would simply count as the CBN selling
reserves to the market and reducing exchange
rates or devaluing the local currency. So from the
CBN’s point of view good management of excess
reserves would be a case where it has enough
reserves to stabilize the markets for the near
future.
Getting back to the point of the post, the CBN
defending the naira (or preventing the naira from
appreciating) is completely different from the FG
running down the excess crude account. The
central bank intervening in the exchange market
is really very normal especially in countries like
Nigeria where the bulk of foreign exchange comes
from a single source. Also when the external reserves is
relatively stable,
then defending the naira become really a non-issue. The
FG running down the ECA during a period when
the oil price is way above the budgeted is an indication that the government is heading towards self inflicting economic hardship when the price eventually crash.
Link between ECA and External Reserve. Withdrawals from the
ECA should actually boost the CBN’s external
reserves. A $2bn withdrawal for example is
equivalent to a random foreign company x
spending $2bn in Nigeria which implies more
dollars entering the local exchange market further
implying that the CBN, if it was trying to stabilize
the currency, will have to buy some dollars from
the market or on the flip side not sell as much
dollars on the market as it would have. Since the
FG is the party spending in this case the dollars
probably just go directly to the external reserves
stash with the FG spending the Naira equivalent.
In practice however the effect is not that severe.
The eternal reserve dropped from a reported $47bn in
april 2009(when GEJ took over) to $29.1bn in May 2015(when GEJ handover) within this period, the FG also depleted the ECA an action that was supposed to boost the external reserve. the present challenge in Nigeria is being experience in other oil exporting countries but unlike Nigeria under GEJ administration, those other countries had saved in expectation of a time like this. the circle of economic boom and bust has life time of about a decade, it bursted in 2008 and now it burst again but this time around, is hitting us hard because we have no shock absorber courtesy of GEJ administration. I hope this helps you in understanding how the economy works.

Frank3n2:
Oya let GEJ be blamed

people like you don't know how the economy works.
you only judge from the present that is why you see no reason why GEJ should be blamed. GEJ should be blamed because he failed to save for a time like this. OBJ left $45b dollars in our foreign reserve, Yar Adua left $47b ( an indication that he built on what he met) but GEJ, during who's tenure Nigeria earned more from oil left $29.1b. if NIGERIA HAS $17.9b($47-$29.1) to inject into the economy, we won't be blaming GEJ. He could not build on what he met but choose to squandered it.

Hi Nlanders, I finished service few months ago & all through my period of staying at home I applied for quite a number of jobs.

As God will have it I was invited for a job interview, went successful & I got the job. I have been working for a month now & everyday my boss just complements how I am the person for this job they have been searching for & he's quite friendly to me.

Just few days back, one of the many jobs I applied for during my days of staying home invited me for an interview which also was successful & I was offered a job, this new job salary is like 3times my present job salary.

I've created a good relationship with my boss, really don't k ow how to tell him I'm leaving just a month of working with him. Please I need your advice, what should I do in this situation?

first of all, assess your future prospect working with any of the companies, if they are both ok, then give your new employer like one or two weeks ahead of the day he wants you to resume, tell him u just need the week to round up an assignment on your desk, this will help you to know whether the new team you about to join has listening ears or not. if he agrees, then meet your boss and discuss with him one on one, let him know you have applied for this job before now and it comes with better offer. success

we are getting there. has anyone notice that policies in Nigeria are now being completed on scheduled dates, has anybody notice that public officials are becoming skeptical about taking bribe, did you guys hear the Senate President saying that if the non oil and independent revenue aspects are well taken care of, we need not give much attention to oil price? is just going to a little time, we will get there. I prefer this regime being criticize at the his earlier stage than later.

ProfessorPeter:
How do you bombed again people that you've "technically defeated" them? Una lies self no dey get break?

you have just identified yourself a stark illiterate alongside those who like your post.
despite all your parents' effort, yet you end up like this.

FAYOSE SHOULD BETTER BE GETTING READY FOR THE CHALLENGES AHEAD IN FEW DAYS/MONTHS. TELLING BUHARI TO STOP THE TRIPS IS JUST LUKE TELLING HIM TO STOP ATTENDING GOVERNORS' MEETING. WHAT HAS HE ACHIEVED IN EKITI? I WILL ONLY TAKE TALK ON FOREIGN TRIPS SERIOUS WHEN SUCH IS COMING FROM THE FOLLOWING STATE GOVERNORS NAMELY: ANAMBRA, OGUN, AKWA IBOM, AND FEW OTHERS.

SoNature:
I believe you just started following political events in Nigeria. May I remind you that Nigerian Governors Forum led by Rotimi Amaechi took Jonathan to court insisting he shares among federal, state and LGA excess crude oil money when NOI announced that they want to set up Sovereign Wealth Fund to save the money for rainy day. Yes, your governors said Excess Crude Account was illegal so the money must be shared...suddenly, even the Oshiomholes who benefited from the sharing are turning around to blame NOI and GEJ for our economic woes.

Oga, i know you ve been following politics since 19BC but excess crude account is not the same as your foreign reserve. It is not how long but how well.

thundafire:
i guess dy SWF account was funded for dis hard times but amaechi,oshobaba nd co told him 2 share dy mny 2 dem,so nw u c who will u blame will u still blame him wen he refused dy shouted nd nw y cnt dy tell dy world dy made him share dy mny 2 dem

when a leader lacks direction, anyone can cow him. do you know how many times Buhari had been told to devaluate naira? but he refused. one of the reasons is that he has a goal not to devaluate naira against the dollar, he also know that by the time the budget is passed and contracts are being awarded, many of the contractors will be paid in foreign currency through our banks who will then push the dollar into circulation to ease the scarcity, hence he needs not panic over short term scarcity and its challenges. JONATHAN would have ran out of that office by now, he wouldn't have known the direction from which to address Nigeria economic crisis with oil selling below $30 per barrel. and by now, he would have depleted our external reserve to $2b.
