Muric has said the right thing this time around.

I stand with Muric. No need for disagreement or opposition one against another between Christians and Muslims.

Try to show some respect to senior Citizens.
It makes you humane.

Use the advice. (Why use that picture?)

ABCthings:
We talk all the times about how things are going wrong and what other people and the government should do.
And we keep hoping that things will turn around. But seldomly talk about how we are helping matters.

What are you doing to help our Nigera?
Please contribute and let others learn.

Op thank you for this thread.

Its reassuring to know there are still optimists in our country Nigeria. You are not alone. As a matter of fact, we are forming a movement for better Nigeria and you are invited to be among the pioneers.

I will contact you soon.

Help wetin?


You better jump from this evil sinking ship because you'll never benefit anything for yourself, family and the rest of humanity by continuing to hang on to a hopeless entity. Politicians know this, and that's why they laugh at your stupidity when you go to the polls to vote them in. They are the most unpatriotic elements of our society who buy properties abroad, invest abroad and run there to rest and treat themselves for common headache. Then, they delude the rest of mentally-raped idîots like the OP to keep believing in patriotism.

Una eye go soon clear!

For those who have sense, the only thing you better is YOURSELF, so that your loved ones and the rest of humanity may benefit also.

The country has been specially created to fail you, don't fail yourself. Always remember this!

Don't spread the hopelessness around. Even you know that Nigeria won't remain like this forever. We will change things soon.

God is the Ultimate Protector, the most Reliable Security. He is the Authentic Defender who doesn't need security. You know, the strongest and "most intelligent" security organizations in our world have disappointed and failed at various occasions (think about the highly-rated United States Secret Service that couldn't stop the assassination of various serving American Presidents under its watch).

In the Bible (in Genesis 15:1), God told Abraham: “Fear not, Abram, I am your shield". No wonder, Abraham lived to a full old fruitful age! Even when he was wandering in the territories of the evil, they just couldn't hurt him. God's Pillar of Protection ensured he didn't lose anything that belongs to him while he lives!

God loves displaying His expertise in Security and Protection at all times. He has promised to keep His own safe (physically and spiritually) at all times. Those who had decided to honour Him by doing His will automatically earns His Protection. Any person walking in the will of God would find him or herself being surrounded by the Hedge of God's protection. Nevertheless, while the Hedge of Protection always remain available (as God will always be faithful to His own part), it is possible to silently and ignorantly move away from the Hedge, thereby exposing oneself to dangers (physically and spiritually).

One thing that makes people slip away from within God's Hedge of Protection is SIN. Sin (of all kinds) is a pulling evil that exposes one to the attacks of the enemy. One of the major types of sins that has exposed millions of people to cruelsome attack is sexual immoralities, which often come about as a result of ignorance, and failing to do all it takes to tame and have one's sexual desires under control.

Believe it or not, there is a spiritual dimension to the life we live. Don't be deceived by "ignorant logic". The spiritual (or supernatural) operates on a higher level than the physical. The "logic" in the spiritual is different from the "logic of the physical. Wisdom demands that you do all it takes to ensure your total protection to enable you fulfill your full potentials on earth.

The spiritual realm is a very busy world with activities unstop. Many evil strategies and plans are being constantly devised there. Many harmful arrows are being aimed at people. After all has been finalised in the spiritual realm, it then materialised in the physical realm. Many events tagged "coincidence" in the physical realm, are not actually coincidence, but are "done deals" orchestrated from the spiritual. Many people were killed from the spiritual realm since they were exposed, and they died mysterious and untimely here on earth.

You might wonder (ignorantly), "but I'm an easygoing person trying not to offend anyone, why would anyone want to hurt me?" Listen, by the virtue of being a human being, you automatically have an enemy in the devil (and he hates you vehemently). By extension, all his demons and agents are your enemies too.

Therefore, you can't afford slipping away from God's Hedge of protection if you want to fulfill destiny.

And so, you must tame your desires and keep in check any urge that tries placing your hands in sinful ventures. Always rely on God's strength every moment, and play your part by fleeing all forms of immoralities at all times. And when you made any mistake, swiftly ask for forgiveness of sins in Jesus Name, and get restored before it's too late.

Well done Dear.

God bless you

Unfortunate!

This ought not to happen. Each has a distinct function to perform. There wouldn't have been a clash if each of these arms of our national agencies weren't overzealous in the performance of their functions.

There is no such overlapping of duties that should warrant this national embarrassment.

Not to worry, we will correct anomalies of this nature in the near future

Since My Dad Died, This Thing Happens To Me. Is It Normal. Please Help

Every since I turn 16 have been afraid of death but not for myself but for the people around me. Each time the people I love are not around me. I always think of how they will die and how the news will come to me. Have had dreams about it. My dad died when I was 14, I wasn't close to him but I felt it .... Is this normal or am I the only one

Please if is not, how can I stop it. It's getting out of hand, am unable to live my life properly now

SoLUTION: draw closer to God. Its fear that is playing mind game on you. You must break that yoke of fear and uncertainty.

With God beside you all times, your fear and uncertainty will dissipate and fade away.

From your comment, it means you searched for the corpse and found none before commenting.

You had expected to see some, didn't you?

Let's learn not to condemn everything that emanates from here. At least, posting pictures to buttress a point or to evidence a claim should not be listed as an anomaly in Nigeria.

We still have Nairalander that would tell "pictures or I don't believe..."

Einstein was said to use 15% of his brain power during his lifetime and he became a force to be reckoned with. What if we could use up to 40% of our brain power?

While I live I pray everyday for my brain to be in full use Lord.. those billions of cell must work actively.

You have great mindset. You are a great thinker.
And the good news is, its possible if you are ready and prepared.

Note however, that if you uses 40% of your brain, you will be outstandingly successful and achieve much more than the average persons out there.

It presupposes that you will be awake when others are sleeping and working when others are relaxing...

FarahAideed:
It's old only recycled and thrown online today again ..Jonathan has clarified this a long time ago and the govt opted they way it did because the risk of rescuing the girls in the middle of a fire fight was too high and they didn't want the same thing that happened when british SAS bungled a rescue operation of some of it's citizens in Bauchi which ended up in both hostages being killed .

They needed to be alive to be rescued by the acclaimed Muhammadu Buhari administration. Where they dead from firefight during a planned forceful rescue, none would have been alive to be rescued later.

All these haters of Jonathan wouldn't have shown understanding if an attempted rescue went bad and claimed those lives.

Only wise hearts can comprehend the necessity that gave birth to that decision. Not for chicken brains

Officialgarri:
If Buhari charges Sowore for the same offense committed against Jonathan, it shows Buhari and his team are better at their game unlike Gej's team who were concerned with stashing money in private coffers...

There might be freedom of "hate" speech against the government of then, but they were less concerned about it because they felt they were invincible to an average Nigerian and they will win the election as usual. Of course, they almost got away with it.

The charges Buhari held against Sowore as far as we are all concerned is constitutional........ If Jonathan was daft not to play his political game well, then it still means, he is/was and will ever be clueless



My prayer is the government should set Sowore free for always standing on the side of the truth irrespective, but he should learn to choose his cards wisely.
Buhari doesn't know anyone, not even those ones who campaigned against Jonathan.

So you have no commendation for Tolerance and fair play as displayed by Gej during his time.

You are obsessed with "stashing money in private coffers..."

How much did they stash?

And now, the people in Power presently are not stashing any money, koo??

Go and mind your personal business. Leave Gej issue. Its beyond you.

As for Sowore, he is being used to demonstrate something very important.
Ajdust your mind to the fact that Sowore isn't going home any soon.

Nice piece.

You did well. Keep it up

ogb5:
Under Jonathan he had freedom of speech and freedom after speech.

Now he does not have freedom of speech, talk less of freedom after speech

Having read this, Sowore deserves more than what is happening to him currently.

I think God has a way of resetting people's head when it goes wild.

Yea, but we don't know if the companies want to sell or scrap them. One can just buy in hundreds or thousands then ship in container.

One of the companies is ofo china. If you can just contact them and their willing to sell, wont be a problem.

The landing cost, those who are in the business already can say that.

Anyhow, one will still need #millions doing that.

Thanks a lot

Explorers:
I don't really have the idea, saw it on documentary, made some searches and brought it here.

The bikes belongs to some transportation companies in china and i think or will suggest that visiting China and the companies will be the best idea.

Thanks Boss.

You know I just discovered that this is a big money here in Nigeria. A lot of money is being made from similar second hand bicycles here, and they popularly call 'em "London used".

I just needed to know how it can be brought to Nigeria and the possible landing cost.

Thanks anyway.

One twitter user fredsonora called Canadians moose-fornicators and even insulted their ham and curling.

Luckily, Twitter user Sharlene, who goes by the moniker sfergs_, was there to step in to defend Canada. And she did this by explaining why it is one of the best countries in the world.


In the beginning, she was glad her family emigrated to Canada.

Explores, please I need your attention!

Some months back, you posted some picture of heaps and or dumps of Bicycles...

Pls we are interested in getting those bicycles. How can you link us up or connect us with the right people..

I am Waiting please.

I mean by buying them at affordable cost. Thanks

Self styled defender of the Christian faith is wowed by magician.... Hmmmm....

Don't refer to Freeze as defender of the Christian faith. He rather attacks the people of the cloth. He has never shown the way forward in addition to his ardent criticisms

Daddy freeze who conveniently abused and vilified pastors and many of the people of the cloth; now celebrates magic/magician!

Wonders shall never end.

Who magic help?

At least, we now know where Daddy freeze stands...

If this is painful, why not demystify this masquerade called BH?

Its about time the beans is spilled and truth enthroned.

Why will Borno and the North keep masquerading this monster?

A lot of Black South Africans (especially those at the bottom of the pyramid), have always had issues with the rapidly expanding and often highly resourceful African community in their country.
These set of South African citizens, unfortunately, see fellow Africans as low hanging fruits that they can throw sticks at, kill, rape, steal from and bully, without serious repercussions from their government or security apparatus.
Personally, I have had black South Africans ask me if I am Ibo or Yoruba while I was in South Africa. I asked why and they said if I was Ibo they would have been wary of me! I personally thought that was a load of crap, profiling a whole tribe based on the sins of a few.
I have had a South African lady tell me to my face that Nigeria is a Banana Republic! I remember the venom in her voice and the disdain in her eyes.
I have had a black South African hotel manager yell at me to allow him finish what he was saying and not interrupt him because he profiled me as an arrogant and aggressive Nigerian.
Fact is, there is a lot of anger in that land, maybe due to the years of suppression they suffered during the long period of apartheid, or maybe be other underlying issues. This has made a lot of them disillusioned and unsure of self.
The swag and never-say-die spirit of the Nigerian is also a major point of irritation for a lot of South Africans, because we just seem to swoop in, take over the whole place and start living their dreams right in front of them!
However, let's not forget that we also tend to piss people off with our loud, showy, noisy and in-your-face lifestyles and quite a number of our people are involved in a lot of unsavory things.
Let's also remember that we treat ourselves like crap in our own country, we kill, kidnap and decimate ourselves and sadly, our government seems to have abandoned us to our fate and we constantly and viciously demarket ourselves and our country in cyberspace, forgetting that others are watching and learning.
I believe we need to reassess our individual relationships as Nigerians, before we reassess our relationship with South Africa and its people. There's a lot for us to do to get from where we are to where we are supposed to be.
This time however, our government should stop speaking grammar and make a strong statement in this regard, because really, enough is enough.
God bless.

Well said Boss!

But, I am baffled that the South Africans could not withstand a common threat by angry Nigerians whereas, their people back home have consistently attacked our people while their government do just little above none. I have not been informed that Nigerian High Commission in S.A. closed office.

I know Flattinos will still come and complain about RUGA in Zamfara Stats. Useless Wailers.

Zamfara is an Islamic State, just as Wike declared Rivers a Christian State. In few weeks time, all Churches in Zamfara will be demolished.

Clapp for yourself.

You could not even control yourself

ManirBK:
Wiked Wike with his Bad mission!
Mosque was demolished and everywhere is quiet, Apostle Sulaiman, CAN all of them are quiet.
If EL Rufai tries the same thing in Kaduna state tomorrow, there will be war in the social and print media
This is not how to be a Nation.

Obviously, you have a bad motive posting this.

Your overzealousness led you to rush and comment first and abuse Wike.
Why didn't you allow natural reaction from the readers first?

MY TAKE:
IF THE MOSQUE HAD A VALID APPROVAL FROM THE GOVERNMENT OF RIVERS STATE, THEN THE GOVERNOR WILL SURLY PROVIDE A REPLACEMENT, NO DOUBT.

NB:
ABOUT 15YRS BACK, then Governor of GOMBE state demolished a mosque wrongly built by the road in an accident prone area, beside their Gombe line terminus.
Hell broke loose. The worshippers of that mosque accused Goje, (the then governor) of siding with their rival mosque across the road....

Subsequently,Governor Goje bought a bigger land nearby and handed to the owners of the demolished mosque, plus cash donation. Reliable report shows that a gigantic mosque was built few years for this worshippers that wailed endlessly for the demolished mosque.

Tell me, who profited from that demolition


It is unfortunate that people like the OP think that.mosque should never be demolished even if there are good reasons to do so. Let our education make us reasonable as humans, not biased and unreasonable.

magazineguy:
Opportunities are not always lying around waiting to be grabbed, but sometimes they are. However, they are fleeting and they don’t care if you are ready or not. They require you to take initiative, step out of your comfort zone and apply yourself.

Only meaningful actions will translate into possibilities for you. Consider the soil; it doesn’t care about your need for food. It cares about your initiative to plant the seed. The key to creating and attracting more opportunities is definitive action.

How do you position yourself for the right opportunities though? Nigerians call it ‘packaging’. You’ve got to work on yourself and your environment to attract the right opportunities.

Here are some things you can do.

Look Inwards, know yourself.
This a foundational step that you must take. To know yourself means knowing what you desire, what your personality traits are, where your strengths and weaknesses lie, and how to use these to your advantage. Take time to scrutinize yourself and understand the things that make you tick. Self-awareness will open your mind to your most intimate motivations and that of others towards you. It will also help you to decide what opportunities you desire. Only by knowing what you seek, can you go after it. Visualize and write down where you want to be and the opportunities you need to get there.Then set SMART goals that can help you get there. Goals help you stay on course and on schedule. Goals also help you filter out distractions along the way, so you can stay alert and focused on the important things. Without clarity of where you are going, you may end up somewhere you’d rather not be.

Explore, Learn and Network
The world is filled with opportunities but you’ll never learn of them or grab them if you don’t leave your comfort zone. Attend free events, conferences or seminars in the industry you’re looking for opportunities in. Network, introduce yourself, tell people what you can offer – some of the best opportunities fall on your laps when you least expect it. If you’re trying to meet someone who you don’t have direct access to, find a mutual friend who does, and request an introduction. Sometimes, you may even have to be introduced to the person who will introduce you to them. Don’t falter, determination produces results.

Surround yourself with inspiring people
The attitudes of the people around you play a big role in shaping your attitude as well as the quality of opportunities that you find. Your circle can either push you towards your dream or keep you stagnant. Their lifestyles can either motivate you or discourage you. To get ahead in life and attract the best opportunities, choose wisely whom you spend most of your time with. Surround yourself with positive, inspiring people. A continued association with positive, supportive and inspiring people will influence your future because you subconsciously start to model these behaviours. Likewise, negative people significantly impact their surroundings, often lacking ambition and spreading pessimistic thoughts. So, make sure to start and nurture relationships with people whose lifestyles and choices inspire you to do better.

Let your work do the work
Are you an amazing writer? Then create a blog and start publishing articles or submit to other magazines or journals. Do you have an eye for fashion and style? Start sharing blogs or vlogs sharing your fashion tips and tutorials. Are you amazing at graphic design? Are you a badass digital marketer? Share some of your coolest tips and tricks online. The more information you put out there, the more people will recognize your name and think of you as an expert. You must position yourself as an expert in your field, to be recognized as such. By showing that you are great at what you do, your chances for getting opportunities and offers will increase exponentially. Make sure to keep track of all your work, content, accomplishments in a portfolio, blog or an online resume.

Remain Open to alternate Opportunities
You might set out with a goal in mind of exactly what you want to do and how you want to do it, but rarely will life work out exactly how you think it will. Open yourself up to alternate opportunities that may have not been on your radar.

For instance, a writer can go on to take a corporate communications or brand management job where they will still be telling stories with their skills. A graphic designer may find themselves accepting an opportunity to do UI/UX design. It might even be a complete pivot from what you wanted when you set out, but the best opportunities aren’t always what you envisioned. Sometimes opportunities that use your skills are different than what you expect.

Op thank you and well done.

Sam Adeyemi, my Mentor said that success happen when opportunity meets preparation.

I will archive this post

festacman:
Engr. Joe Igbokwe is a full member of Lagos State Executive Council who was duly appointed, screened and approved by Lagos State House of Assembly, and sworn in. Yes, he is not designated as a commissioner but an adviser but what drives any good government are good ideas and implementation plans. Any any person following the plan can execute the project(s). If Engr. Igbokwe working with other members of council, could synthesize workable ideas into functional solutions and implementable plan, Lagos environmental will be much better for it.

I concur on this point.

I also have confidence in Igbokwe being capable of generating good ideas as an adviser

festacman:
If you live in certain area in Lagos that look very BEAUTIFUL when when it rains heavily with attendant flooding, you will appreciate the extent of responsibilities on Engr. Joe Igbokwe's shoulders and how much you should pray for him to succeed.

It is a sensitive job. It is tough task to undertake. He should get ready to be resisted, blackmailed and tribally abused by residents, who will be affected by the solutions he will offer. However, If he could succeed, he will write his name in gold in Lagos State history.

By the way, Joe Igbokwe is a true Nnewi son who is far more Igbo in quality and quantity than some of his critics.

Boss, you failed to note that Joe Igbokwe is not appointed to head a ministry, but to advice on drainage.

I also think that Joe supposes not to make his speech look like a ministry has been left in his care to run.
Last time I checked, Gov. Sanwo Olu appointed him advicer, not an executive in any guise.

Nonetheless, I still have full respect for Engnr. Chief Joe Igbokwe.
