senatordave1:
He will never be cjn again

Better. The best thing to do is to walk away and stay clear of Nigeria matter and enjoy his time with his family but the patriotic spirit in me saying don't give up on Nigeria yet.

Thank you @AutoReportNG for taking time out to verify things for us here. Like your work.

According to my understanding of this project and any other with china, as long as the federal government has fulfilled their own funding obligation of the expected cost of the project the Chinese will not stop even if a new government come into power. Assuming atiku win the project still goes on. That's why many project enter into with them before the advent of this government is still ongoing even the building of ships for the Nigerian navy. Politics or no politics this project will be seen to it conclusion unless war break out but which i don't pray for.

RealityShot:
NO!


executive have limited tenure, don't they, so what are you talking about?


is it not senators that openly earn over N1 billion each every year? Do you hear that about the exec?


is it not senators that go to work once or twice or ZERO a month and collect N13+ million basic salary?


is it not this same senate that PADDED THE BUDGET with over N250 billion last year?


Where did they expect the exec to get that from?


LET THEM GET THE N150 billion for minimum wage from there too!


massive inflation loadng this year!!!

1 - Tenure has nothing to do with sourcing for money to fund budget

2 - According to you or your source each senator openly earned over 1 billionaire every year, because nobody is beaming their searchlight on the executive that doesn't mean they the president and his vice earn lesser that a senator. Have you seen where a MD of a company earn less than the directors in the company?

3 - well you have point here but how many time have you and me query them for not being at their duty post? 13+ million basic is too much for the executive, if a senator is earning that how much do you think the executive is earning?

4 - It takes two to tangle. In otherword the executive arm of government have their own share of the blame because the executive were ahead of the legislature in controlling the narative the whole blame was put on the legislative arm of government.

5 - If by cutting and blocking the avenues by which these senators are getting their money from the national purse will solve the problem am all for it but we must not exempt the executive too, stop all security vote, stop the distribution of money to party members and also stop receiving and pestering politicians for money whenever we come in contact with them because they hold a political office.

RealityShot:
they didn't give me chewing gum talk more of money...


It is time for Nigerians to say NO
to this mindless Senate of ours!


AND MAKE their TENURES limited!

Is it only the legislature? What about the executive too ?

Another avenue to loot money. One na one day very soon but i fear say by then our go don see red.

So you don't want the lawyers to eat? Don't you know this is their season to seriously till the ground, make a name for themselves and provide for their family?

Glory to God. God just as you have make ways for her make way for Nigeria too, let Nigerians know they need you in their life and put more effort into the good works of their so that you can bless their work to prosper, in Jesus name i pray. Amen.

DeLaRue:
Those working there now are not Nigerians?

A typical Nigerian with access to lot of money is a financial danger unto himself.

You give him a 20 page agreement...he barks, what's this?? You expect me to read all this? Yet, this is a contract involving a huge amount of money. In the end, he reads through with a condescending frown, paying scant attention to the terms. He grabs his pen and signs. No comments. No questions.

Most just want to sign believing they'll sort any issues out in the future.

And then they soon realise the future is not far at all.

I came across one guy recently that is facing about N400m hit on a contract that is so bad I doubt he read it before signing it. Faced with the new reality, he told me '...and I trusted that woman so much, little did I know she was a devil. I will show her.'

Unfortunately he can't show her jack. There's no easy way out for him. The woman will be N400m richer soon. The only alternative is a lengthy court battle that'll cost him more than the N400m.

Well this is big lesson to all.

grandstar:
It would be financially suicidal for any Nigerian bank to fund it with lending rates in double digits. Such a project can only thrive with single digits lending rates.

Yes one of the factor by the bank that's why they too join in asking for federal government guarantee and obasanjo was not ready to, according him though a public infrastructure the project is a private venture and as such government has no business in it as they the operator will operate it for sometime before handing it over to government after they might have recoup their investment. ( note: the statement of obasanjo above is my own version of his ).

In fact this news was allover at that time.

yinka10:
Fund invested and profit, was considered when signing the contract at first, any contract signed i believe was agreed upon by both parties which I believe the court will settle, federal government insist its was 12years and bi- courtney say 36year

But if the agreement really stipulate 12 years, i think that's a bad investment decision for bi- Courtney because i don't see them earning their money back with profit. Well an agreement is agreement but to not discourage people from investing in the country the federal government should come out in the open about this with document backing them.

I remember in the past how babalakin was running up and down for fund to execute the lagos ibadan express road and how he investors even banks were asking for government guarantee to secure their fund in the project incase of change in government or over night overturn of government policy and also obasanjo statement when ask why he refuses to provide guarantee.

So the government need to play safe here as investors are watching

kolexy:
Babalakin won Lagos - Ibadan Express concession during Yar'adua's government.

No he won during obasanjo regime.

What happened in yar adua's government is he took them to court when yaradua tried to revoke the Lagos Ibadan express concession agreement and the government withdraw from carrying out its action because of the death trap in the agreement.

Assuming the agreement was revoke then by yaradua, babalakin would have walk home smiling loosing nothing and gaining everything. Money wey person no work for.

Mace0lane:
You can will your father’s house to them for 36 lifetime to make enough profit

Thanks and God bless you sir.

But what happened to all fund invested? Have they earned it back and make there own profit?

Remember this project was built by bi-Courtney to built and operate for a period. I think 12 years is too short a time but wetin i sabi

Hotfreezer:
Fani Kayode was the Minster of aviation under OBJ when this contract was signed. Under Obasanjo and Atiku as vice, those thieves sold everything to themselves and their cronies.

This Wale Babalakin's father was a friend to OBJ. That's how he got this MM2 concession and Lagos Ibadan expressway concession. He did nothing on that road till it was taken away from him and fixing started late during GEJ's tenure.

The airport should be taken from Bi-Courtney and any staff found there should be flogged koboko. Unemployed Nigerians would be employed to take their places.

These are the reasons Obasanjo, Fani Kayode and Co didn't want Buhari back and I'm happy my Sai Baba is back to deal with all these idiots.

The Intels contract would not be renewed and Atiku can now face his businesses in Adamawa squarely. The oil licenses of these Generals won't be renewed but would be given to the good people of the ND. Let them cry blood.

Pity the guy small

TheFreeOne:
Did Ben offered himself for reelection?

I thought he said he wont be going back to the senate.

he didn't

superlanny:
I am overjoyed this over ripe paw paw was defeated, I never liked him for anything, well he will not be missed in the red chamber cus he rarely contributed before, his relevance will be to his constituency on twitter.

He was not defeated because he didn't contest or seek re election.

Interesting piece to read. I love history

Una no dey shame for delta?

nkwuocha:
You need not to allow yourself be used by the devil.You are clearly an agent of darkness,only pretending to write things that are godly.Inside your heart lies an ocean of deception and I can categorically tell you,when the Bible made mention of wolves in sheep's clothing,the scripture was referring to people like you.

Go through the word of God and see how the Almighty chose his Kings.He made known through his chice of his annointed the important role of good leadership.IN all,he gave them Wisdom.He brought low those Evil Kings that turned against his people.

You read your Bible without inviting the Holy Spirit to teach you how to understand it.So you're happy with the situation of this country?The blood bath and evil schemes of the wicked ones in the cabal?

If you're wise,your prayer should be this;"Lord let those who thinks they own Nigeria be put to shame and disgrace.Let the plans of the enemies of this country return back to their households and oh God,Let your will be done In the forthcoming election.

My advice:Get an understanding of the Bible,but before then,go see a psychiatrist.

Thank you for this word of advice to him but some word in your write up are uncalled for, i will appreciate it if you can edit it out. Let God's love and understanding lead.

@op you are human and entitled to have your own opinion but don't be too sure of the working of God. The way God reason is different from us and none of us can understand His way unless He made them known to us. I would have say time will tell who is saying the truth but experience has taught me that things can change if we human decided to prove too know and determined to have our way.

Austynodv:
Good morning.

Yes you will pray the same prayer five times but each time you pray it, you will watch out for signs which confirm the prayer. You may wait for signs for up to 30 seconds, then say 'Thank you Jesus', then repeat the process until five times. I hope this is clear.

Yes it is, thank you.

Austynodv:
Prayer from the man of God

. FOUNDATION - No clear information about my grand parents but from the little i can deduct from information garner i will say they are not Christian from the beginning but my maternal grandmother converted to Christ, but mother a church goer while alive and father has started attending church.

: I want God to deliver me and my household from my weakness, reproach and heal my wife currently on admission from strange painful head splitting head ache.

Elder0001:
Patriarchy has no place in a modern way.

Nothing wrong in patriarchy if we take a critical look at it, the problem is some men not applying wisdom.

Nobodys:
See ignorance everywhere... mtewww... sick cultures, sick traditions.. works for those that believes the trash.

No my dear sister, it also work for those who don't believe the trash. Believe it or not, carry bible and Koran for head, once one deviate OYO is that person case.

Elder0001:
Since I created this thread I've been doing some research on the topic and from what I found..in some families it doesn't matter whether the man did traditional marriage or not if the woman cheats on him and he eats the food OYO is his case,likewise the woman.

I've always said it that all traditions and religions are fully patriarchal and disgusting.
Men are allowed to cheat but women aren't,smh.

Wow! Thank you for your effort in finding out things yourself and coming to share with us. God bless you.

Patriarchal or not we should exercise caution in condemning our traditional because when this law were being set by our grand grand grand Fathers, we weren't there and no record to educate us on things or condition of things at that time that warrant them to make such a law.

Accepted the tradition is partial to the women folk but what can we do? All i can say is that we men should empathise with them and try in our own little way to balance the equation.

I once ask an elder why can't this law or traditions be amended to conform with our present day and he said nobody can change what the ancestors has set in place and sealed and when i tried to argued the tradition is set by humans and the ancestors are human too so what stopping us we human to amend it and he said i should go and try it.

Like one elder said this law of cheating and all that was to prevent we men fighting over women thereby leading to disturbance of the community peace and unity and moreover the community then where closed knitted ones. There are many reason to give but the fact is cheating is not good whether done by a man or woman.

Sorry if i may ask, what is the difference between this and fraud?

A military secret for combatting sleepless nights has been revealed - and no, it doesn't involve marching through a desert with 50lbs of equipment on your back.

The US military developed a secret method for its pilots to get sleep in two minutes flat over fears they could nod off at the controls.


The method was revealed in a 1981 book called Relax and Win: Championship Performance, which gave readers advice on how to "improve sports performance and reduce injuries by learning to relax and release tensions prior to competition".The US army put a disclaimer on the method which read: "The bottom line when it comes to getting restful sleep is doing what works for you.

"There is no magical formula other than listening to your body."

Insomnia affects more people than previously thought and comes in two categories. Type 1 insomnia is when you can't get to sleep at all, and Type 2 means you may get to sleep, but will wake up at least once during the night.

There are numerous health concerns related to a lack of sleep - from diabetes to heart disease and depression.

A recent study by the Uppsala University in Sweden revealed that disrupted sleep patterns alter metabolism and boost the body's ability to store fat, making a strong link between obesity and shift work.

Meanwhile, research by the European Study of Cardiology found that getting less than five hours sleep a night could be as bad for you as smoking.

One of the methods detailed was claimed to be developed by the US military with a 96 per cent success rate after six weeks of practice - involving about two minutes of mind and body preparation, which should see people reach the land of nod in under 120 seconds.

Many people suffer from disrupted sleep, and as many as a third claim to have insomnia - so the relaxation technique has been hailed as a blessing.

The US Military Method
1: Relax your face - including your tongue, jaw, and the muscles around your eyes.

2: Drop your shoulders as low as they can go. Then relax your upper and lower arm on one side, and then the other.

3: Breathe out, and relax your chest.

4: Finally, relax your legs, from the thighs to the calves.

5: When your mind is clear, try to picture one of the following images: Lying in a canoe on a calm lake, nothing but blue sky above you; Snuggled in a black velvet hammock in a pitch-black room; Saying “don’t think, don’t think, don’t think” over and over for ten seconds.
