InsanePsycho:
Yes. Especially if they are allergic to bullshit

How.

RaggedyAnn:
Yes. If the Bible has sat in a corner for too long collecting dust and damp. When it's pages have been infested by mildew and the prospective reader is asthmatic, opening the book would result in an allergic reaction. It's just paper and ink after all.

Don't twist tje question.

Can you be ALLERGIC TO THE BIBLE

nans24:
I am a Christian and i strongly feel you are wrong.

The informal definition of allergy is a feeling of antipathy,that is having a strong dislike for something. In order words you can say the OP is asking, can someone have a strong dislike for the bible. My personal answer to that question is No. You gave your own answer but made a wrong statement



Why say that? You know of Muslims who read and love the Bible and yes i know of some who do too. What of those that don't like the bible. Are you calling them demons?

Be careful with what you say bro.

If your answer is no, then WHY?

Good Morning Nairalanders,

My Questions this morning,

CAN SOMEONE BE ALLERGIC TO THE BIBLE?

1. If Yes How?

2. If No, Why?

Happy Sunday to you all.

Almost two months after he returned to the country from his medical trip to London, United Kingdom, President Muhammadu Buhari has yet to return to his office inside the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

But the Presidency says the situation has not in any way hindered the President from performing his duties.

Buhari, who arrived the country on August 19 to a wild jubilation by Nigerians after spending over 100 days abroad, has been operating from an office located inside his official residence and another one located inside the Presidential Banquet Hall.

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, had said the President’s office needed renovation because of its devastation by rodents during his long period of absence.

“Following the three-month period of disuse, rodents have caused a lot of damage to the furniture and the air conditioning units,” he had said, explaining that it was impossible for the President to operate from the office in that condition.


Although he said he could not tell when the renovation would be completed, the presidential spokesperson had stated that the maintenance company had been asked to speed up its pace of work.

However, 56 days after the President’s return to the country, he has yet to resume in his office.

His residence and the Presidential Banquet Hall, where he operates from are less than five minutes’ walk from his office.

The President has been hosting meetings and other events in the two venues.

This week alone, he held separate meetings with some state governors and the nation’s security chiefs at the venues.

Governors that met Buhari during the week included Ibrahim Geidam of Yobe State; Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State; Abubakar Badaru of Jigawa State and Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State.

The President has also been attending weekly meetings of the Federal Executive Council inside the Council Chambers located less than 50 metres to his office.


Buhari has also been joining Muslim faithful for Juma’at service inside a mosque located behind the Council Chambers.

When contacted on Friday, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, said where Buhari has been operating from are also offices.

Adesina said the most important thing is that the President is working.

The presidential spokesman was, however, silent on when Buhari will resume in his main office.

“Office na office. He (the President) uses one now, and the work goes on,” he simply said.

Our correspondent had sought to know from him the stage of the renovation in the President’s office; if there is any truth in the claim that Buhari does not plan to return to his office anytime soon; and when exactly he would return.

How many have you traced to Senior Grasscutter of the Federation.

How many have you traced to our Oga that signed contract on sick bed

EFCC continue to trace.

At the end of the day, we will have a drawing of foolishness from you

Brugo:
Dasuki must not escape. Sharing security fund like Christmas presents when soldiers were dying because of inadequate weapons! He just sent those men to their graves. That is unforgivable.

And you are there when he was sharing it.

OLAADEGBU:
It is about Obamaniacs who put Obama in place of Jesus.

Total Ignorance and madness

Jesusloveyou:
osibanjo was acting for person and the person signed it by himself, is anything wrong with that?

From the sick leave bed

Jesusloveyou:
the work of buhari as active minister is to sign contract while kachukwu is to represent buhari in any events and also to give useful advice to buhari.

Even when we have acting President

Why my father is not aware of poor state of Aso Rock Clinic – President’s daughter, Zahra


President Muhammadu Buhari’s daughter, Zahra, has explained why her father may not be aware of the deteriorating state of the Aso Villa clinic.

Just yesterday, Wife of the President, Aisha Buhari ”flamed” up over the state of the hospital which according to her is shameful.


But before then, Zahra had on September 29th called out the permanent secretary of the state house over the poor condition of the hospital.

Zahra asked why the hospital lacked basic items such as a syringe even when it has a N3. 2 billion budgetary allocations.

After she called out the Permanent Secretary, Nigerians reacted in different ways; while some applauded her for speaking out, others asked her to go and seek answers from her father.

After her mother’s speech yesterday, Zahra took to her Instagram page to reply some of the question posted by Nigerians.


The President’s daughter wrote, “I was insulted a lot about the hospital thing and I have to tell you that I laughed at a lot of them and was really sad at a lot of them because it really made me understand that a lot of Nigerians are not as educated as I thought.

“Many people were saying that I should ask my father, I should tell him. The thing is that many people are appointed at different stages and they make sure that whatever they are in charge of works out well and they monitor properly.

“So, the president can’t be at every point. He can’t be monitoring everyone’s post. It is impossible. It is literally impossible. So there are some things happening now to help with the state house hospital.

Thousands of primary school teachers in Nigeria's northern Kaduna state are to be sacked after failing the exams they set for their six-year-old pupils.
State governor Nasir El-Rufai said 21,780 teachers, two-thirds of the total, had failed to score 75% or higher on assessments given to pupils.
He said 25,000 new teachers would be recruited to replace them.
Mr El-Rufai made the comments at a meeting with World Bank representatives in the state capital, Kaduna.
"The hiring of teachers in the past was politicised and we intend to change that by bringing in young and qualified primary school teachers to restore the dignity of education in the state," he was quoted as saying by Nigeria's Daily Trust newspaper.

Mr El-Rufai said problems with pupil-teacher ratios across the state would also be addressed.
He said some areas currently had one teacher for every nine pupils while in other areas the ratio was one to 100.

henryofficial:
how can i contact you bro?

God morning

I've reply you

Jesusloveyou:
no need to rigmarole,
Buhari is still the minister of petroleum.
And the GMD just reported the contract to him for approval.
Or what is the difference if kachukwu had submitted it to buhari without approving it or not approved by FEC.
The bottomline is the hiding agenda of kachukwu, if not, I did not see any reason for kachukwu to fight whatever was approved by fec, or is kachukwu not a member of fec.?

Who is the active minister and also the chairman nnpc board

Abeg who is the minister for petroleum resources?

THE NNPC ACT

An Act to dissolve the Nigerian National Oil Corporation and to establish the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation empowered to engage in all commercial activities relating to the Petroleum industry and to enforce all regulatory measures relating to the general control of the Petroleum sector through its Petroleum Inspectorate department.


1st April 1977


Part I
Establishment of the Corporation.

1. (1) There shall be established a corporation by the name of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (hereinafter in the Act referred to as "the Corporation" which shall be a body corporate with perpetual succession and a common seal and may sue or be sued in its corporate name.

(2) The affairs of the Corporation shall, subject to Part II of this Act, be conducted by a Board of Directors of the Corporation which shall consist of a Chairman and the following other members, that is-

(a) the Director-General, Federal Ministry of Finance and Economic Development;

(b) the Managing Director of the Corporation; and

(c) three persons to be appointed by the National Council of Ministers, being persons who by reason of their ability, experience or specialised knowledge of the oil industry or of business or professional attainments are capable of making useful contributions to the work of the Corporation.

(3) The Chairman shall be a Minister in the Government of 1979 No. 44 the Federation to be known and styled as the Minister of Petroleum Resources.

(4) The supplementary provisions set out in the First Schedule to this Act shall have effect with respect to the tenure of office of the members of the Board (other than the Chairman), proceedings of the Board, certain duties of the members thereof and the other matters mentioned therein.

COMMENTS: It is very clear from the provision of the NNPC Act(Part 1), quoted above, that the affairs of the NNPC shall be conducted by the Board of Directors, with a Chairman who shall be a Minister appointed by Mr. President.
It is irrelevant whether the Minister is Senior or Junior so long as he is a member of the Federal Executive Council.
In effect, by appointing the Minister of State as the NNPC Board Chairman, it is ultra vires for the GMD (who is also a member of the Board) to circumvent the Board and its Chairman in the conduct of the affairs of the NNPC.
By his appointment as Chairman, the President has delegated the authority of the Minister of Petroleum Resources to the Minister of State, as Chairman, with respect to the conduct of NNPC corporate affairs, simplicita.
All arguments to the contrary are futile and pure balderdash.
The GMD and his partners in the Presidency who have illegally constituted themselves into an Oil Cabal and usurped the authority and powers of the NNPC Board are guilty of economic crimes and sabotage and should be prosecuted by the EFCC without any delay or rigmarole. The War Against Corruption, Indiscipline and Economic Sabotage should have no room for such deliberately plotted illicit and corrupt behavior.
Mr. President must clean the augean stable and save the reputation of the Presidency. The Cabal has been able to sidetrack the NNPC Board on the pretext that the President is the Petroleum Minister and is therefore the substantive Chairman of the Board. This pretext is false, self serving and symptomatic of kleptocratic governance. It is in the better interest of the country for the President to divest himself of the Petroleum portfolio and appoint someone from one of the major oil producing states as the Minister of Petroleum Resources.

SUPER EAGLES LIKE IT THE HARD WAY



The Super Eagles are the most unpredictable team in the world. They make light work of opponents expected to give them a tough time and struggle against ‘easy opposition.

The presence of Cameroon and Algeria in Nigeria’s World Cup qualifying group was why it was called the ‘group of death’ but the Super Eagles eased past three two teams in Uyo.

Zambia, supposedly the weakest team in the group, provided Nigeria’s sternest test in Uyo, threatening to spoil the World Cup party, for which champagne had been ordered.

As they huffed and puffed against the Zambians, one started wondering why the Eagles were making heavy work of what was supposedly a straightforward task.

The conclusion? The Super Eagles do not like it the easy way. Easy is too mainstream for Mikel Obi and his men.

In the end, the only thing that mattered was that they booked their place at the 2018 World Cup with a quite impressive points haul of 13 from five games. Ironically, this is probably Nigeria’s most comfortable World Cup qualifying campaign in recent times

CROWD CONTROL CAN BE BETTER HANDLED



It is disheartening to learn that people got injured while trying to gain entry into the stadium to cheer their country to victory.

The incident at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium was apparently caused by a surge in the number of spectators trying to get into the ground after the gates were thrown open.

If it is indeed true that the Akwa Ibom State government ordered that the gates should be thrown open for everyone, even those without tickets, just as the match was about to start, then the government should please stop this practice.

The state has already done enough for their people by subsidizing the price of tickets which meant fans paid just N500 and N1,000. Allowing free entry is inviting avoidable disaster.

Also, the tickets and seats should be numbered in subsequent matches to avoid chaos in the stands. And the security personnel at the gates must be properly trained on how to handle an unruly crowd without causing serious injuries or even death.

ZAMBIA NOT JUST ALL TALK


The Zambians paid close attention to Odion Ighalo

Chipolopolo talked tough before the game and every Nigerian wanted them to get a proper pasting to put them in their place.

But the young Zambians were not intimidated by Nigeria’s big names and they came with a game plan to frustrate the Super Eagles, which nearly worked to perfection.

The Zambians were very organised and compact, they identified Nigeria’s strengths and worked hard to nullify these strengths.

Mikel Obi was given no time on the ball, Moses was double-teamed or triple-teamed anytime he had the ball and wanted to dribble, Odion Ighalo was paid close attention and he had little impact. Nigeria also played into Zambia’s hands by isolating Ighalo, with nobody picking up the second balls when he beat the defenders in the air.

Zambia absolutely stretched the Super Eagles, finding cracks in the ‘Oyinbo Wall’ of Leon Balogun and William Troost-Ekong with trickery and pace, and stifling Nigeria in midfield.

It took Nigeria’s superior technical ability and experience to see off the brave Zambians, who admitted afterwards that it was their best game of the qualifiers, even better than their away win over Algeria.

The Zambians, led by their outspoken coach Wedson Nyirenda, talked a good game. They played a good game, too.

SOMEBODY TELL AKWA IBOM STATE, NFF THAT SUPER EAGLES GAMES ARE MEDIA EVENTS

Match after match the complaints have remained largely the same. And nobody seems to care enough to do anything about it.

Working as a journalist at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium is a nightmare. The stadium does not provide wifi services, yet you cannot use your own internet to work. About an hour to kick-off on Saturday, it became a huge struggle to get any kind of internet service. Your network did not matter. None worked. I tried my Airtel and 9Moblie and my colleague Johnny Edward’s MTN. It was either no signal or extremely weak signal with which you could not even send the simplest WhatsApp message.

Sadly, this has been happening since 2014 when the stadium started hosting big Super Eagles matches. Yet, in spite of the very loud complaints, absolutely nothing has been done. It is as if the state government is telling journalists to go to hell.

Apparently, the NFF are happy about the situation. Because if they are not, they would have sorted it out their own way long ago. One of such ways would have been to insist on clear internet access as one of the conditions for Akwa Ibom to host Super Eagles games.

As if not having internet access during the game is not enough torture, the post-match press conference at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium has always been a big mess. In the past, it was held at a small, cramped, very hot room where you could hardly breathe.

On Saturday, there was scant information that the venue had been changed to a much bigger and cooler room, so some reporters, including myself and Johny Edward, sprinted around the stadium trying to get into the old venue.

When we eventually found the right room, not much had changed apart from the size of the room and the working aircondition. It was still chaotic, the microphones and loid speakers did not work so reporters had to crowd around the coaches and players to hear clearly what they were saying.

When you contrast what passes up as press conferences in Uyo with what obtains anywhere else, for instance Yaounde, you would feel shame for Nigeria. They had free, working wifi too at the Stade Omnisports in Yaounde. And your own internet worked perfectly if you wanted to use it. No jamming of signals.

OLA AINA IS READY

It might be a tad early to wax lyrical about Ola Aina, but the Hull City defender did just about enough on Saturday to show he can at least be a good left-back option.

Unlike the nervous, error-prone Agu, Aina was composed when defending and a great outlet for the team in attack. Indeed, the 21-year-old, who is on loan at Hull City from Chelsea, would have had an assist if

Victor Moses had buried his intelligent cut-back as the Eagles sought the ‘insurance goal’.

Aina might have played for just 10 or so minutes after coming on for the injured Elderson Echiejile, the youngster was so good that Rohr had no need to defend him at the post-match press conference. Instead, the coach praised Aina, who might just be the solution to the left-back problem.

MIKEL AGU NOT READY YET

For the second game running Mikel Agu was the first choice midfielder off the bench for the Super Eagles. For the second game running, Mikel Agu had a stinker.
The Bursaspor midfielder was so shockingly poor on Saturday that some people in the press tribune joked that the Eagles were playing ‘short one’, street football slang for playing with one man fewer than your opponents.

Agu offered nothing when he replaced the injured Ogenyi Onazi in the first half, misplacing even two-yard passes and not doing much in breaking up play. Agu’s first touch was so poor that he lost the ball almost every time he received it. His terrible first touch did not only put him in trouble (it led him to get an unnecessary yellow card), it also put his teammates under pressure. It would be nice to see his pass completion statistics.

He was almost as bad when he came on for Mikel Obi in the second half against Cameroon in Yaounde in September, as the entire team struggled to keep off the roaring Lions who were desperate to win their first game in the series.

Perhaps there is something that Gernot Rohr sees in Agu that some of us cannot, but the young man has shown that, at least for now, he should not have an edge over the likes of John Ogu and the proven Oghenekaro Etebo in the midfield pecking order.

Rohr defended Agu’s shocking performance afterwards, but even the German must know deep down that it was indefensible.

Surely, Agu is naturally talented so it might have been nerves. He does not appear ready for the Super Eagles.

…

UYO PITCH NEEDS SERIOUS MAKEOVER

This will be quickly swept under the carpet since the Super Eagles won and qualified for the World Cup on Saturday, but the state of the Godswill Akpabio Stadium pitch is embarrassing.
It is baffling that for such a beautiful stadium, one of the most important components, the pitch where the main action takes place, is allowed to be in such terrible state. Imagine having a beautiful, very expensive phone with a badly cracked screen.

The night before the match, groundsmen were still working on the pitch, desperately trying to cover up up the many sandy, uneven patches. They apparently did not make much progress as the pitch was still in a sorry state on matchday despite their attempts at last-minute ‘cosmetic surgery’.


It might not be an excuse for the Super Eagles’ struggles against Zambia, but the pitch affected play with the sometimes weird bounce of the ball making the easiest task at times very difficult.
The Akwa Ibom State government should spare no cost in resurfacing and properly maintaining the pitch if they want to continue hosting the Super Eagles. If not, the pitch will one day cost Nigeria big.

The Super Eagles have already qualified for the Russia 2018 World Cup but Zambia’s Chipolopolo made them earn the ticket the hard way on Saturday in Uyo. I was in Uyo for the match and here are some of my observations…
