SGF position should not be given to people with Amaechi, Ribadu, Kingibe and Sanusis temperaments ooooo
it needs a cool headed person
Temperaments that can manage such SSG position can be found in Oyegun, Onu, Olu Falae etc

ricsman:
......let me state that the bill makes
no such linkages as you erroneously stated. I
think it may be fear of Senator Yerima that is at
play here.
For your information, Senator Yerima and all
other Senators who participated in the debate,
the two times the bill came up on the floor,
supported it as a vehicle for instituting a
stringent law barring all ranges of sexual
........................

It is said that the pathway to hell is full of good intentions

madam,
you see Yerima dey support your bill, fear suppose catch you nawwww

It's like a Christian championing a bill against amputating people based on religious ethics
and then Yerima supports it
The right thing for the Christian to do is to reassess the bill to see its weak parts that is causing amputee advocates to support it.

Yerima was probably excited because he knew he could insert some little ink somewhere into the bill to make it pleasing to him and his fellow baby hunters

dayo23:
Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna state has announced the appointment of Mrs Alisabatu Dada-Onazi as the new Head of Service of the state, pushing further for a united Nigeria.

El-Rufai made the announcement on Sunday at a civic reception organised in honour of his Deputy, Mr Barnabas Bala-Bantex, in Kafanchan.

NAN reports that before her appointment, the new head of service was the Permanent Secretary in the state’s Ministry for Culture and Tourism.

I'd love to see Ndigbo states make strategic appointments from other none ndigbo states
and then ensure that it is widely reported in the media

this would stop others from making rhetoric comments to igbos such as "would you allow this in your own communities?"
it would give the east the moral right to ask for greater inclusion in the governments of states in which they migrate to

I am a southerner with a strong sense of tribal pride, and champion our cause at every opportunity, right or wrong....fortunately or unfortunately i am a REALIST who understands both written and unwritten codes...

Through PDP's crazy zoning agreement, for the sake of peace, unity &stability, the north is being "owed" Yar'adua's missing years that the south "stole" for the shoeless wonder,.
Should it be so? Hell no but that is where we are & we have to make lemonade from our unusual political lemons...
My surmation is based purely on Baba deciding to stay away from 2019 as its been touted in some quarters, the 2nd sellable person at the moment of northern stock is Kwakwanso as the result of the primaries highlighted.

I hope you get my point.

No, no Modath

we can't continue being 'realists'
..granted that Buhari is a great choice
apart from him,
we can't bend realism towards the North alone

this is what is called self fulfilling prophesy
it is 'reality' only because you believe in it and act on it

Ever heard of 'game theory' and 'prisoners dilemma'?

The only reason the core north wins and might continue to always win as a REALITY is simply because the south is in a state of "prisoners dilemma"

This is the mistake Awo and Zik made, each trying to outwit the other
this is the mistake you guys and the East might also make moving forward
Its not REALITY, its sucking up

In TRUISM, if Southern Nigeria present a common front politically
the Middlebelt will align with them


What gain does one have playing second fiddle?
I can't look at my mate in the eye and call him master ...never
except I am desperately hungry
we're either equals or he should be the one calling me master

...well I guess our cultures do influence us

and yes I get your point, but thank God I am in a position not to mentally accede to it

modath:
Even the Dead Ray charles can from the grave see through Atiku's ill concealed 2019 presidential ambition. Unfortunately it further re inforces OBJ's assertion that his ambition is far above National interest.

Atiku's joy will be shortlived cos once the dust settles, he will go back to his sidelines, he is NEVER GOING TO RULE NIGERIA.

CAVEAT;
I am not God & don't have any control over Atiku's destiny but he is incomparable to Buhari, if he could be president his money would have done it since.

He lacks the two basic "ingredients" for the present day Nigeria's presidency which are; Northern cult like following and Southern support ... He enjoys NEITHER!!

He totally dollarised the APC's presidential primaries & only came a distant third to PMB who with all the "assistance" he got didn't spend a 1/4 of what he did.. Kwakwanso will be a president before he ever does .

if you're a southerner writing the bolded part,
..then i can confidently say that you have a strong inferiority complex which some 'TANoids' describe as slave mentality

All your permutations point to a situation where Nigeria will be perpetually governed only by core northerners
with the help of southern collaborators

you spare no thought that a southerner even from your own stock is capable and worthy of being president


I'm not disparaging the other parts of your analysis, just the bolded part

[quote author=naptu2 post=34523678][/quote]thanks Naptu
for doing some extra research

AjanleKoko:
The real situation of Africa is best summed up by Buhari's quote:

'I belong to everybody, but I belong to nobody.'

Sad, but there is really nothing we can do about this
it's even going to be difficult for our politicians and citizens to fully grasp the whole thing...it belongs to another out of our world mental dimension

In fact, any country can choose to build an artificial island in our part of the atlantic and place a couple of warheads there
we won't be able to mentally relate with it.

the only thing that might get us (or rather, our politicians and tribalists) upset is if a group/country are drilling oil off our coast
and not sharing the money with them and the riverine tribes
na then we go vex take the matter go UN and international court

frosbel:
I believe that all God fearing and honourable people irrespective of religious orientation will be saved into the new kingdom.

The idiocy that only a select group of people are dear to God is akin to supremacist ideology and is counter-productive to the peaceful and loving coexistence between all men.

Christians have totally missed the point and keep condemning and judging other men to a so called hell when the truth is that God is not a Christian and knows of no such religion. God only knows and honours those who practice goodness , equity , fairness and love.

Those deluded ones who keep living like the devil and claim the blood of Jesus as a legal loophole will be in for a shocker.

I will rather be friends with a Muslim who loves his fellow man than a Christian who slanders, insults and humiliates others

Remember ; God sees the heart and not the 'mouth' !

Interesting

You probably should do some research on what SAVE actually means and then share your findings with us
Questions you could mull on are: what did Adam, Abraham, David, the jews of old and the apostles understand as SAVE? Was their definition of SAVE always the same for each period in history?

is SAVE as understood by them same as what a majority of us understand it to be now?

I am not going to ask about what God defines SAVE as. Because there might be too much varying interpretations of it

Do you consider your comment a true reflection of the investment of your parents on your education?
hope not

the nigerian economy is shrinking daily
the folks that are able to compete effectively are more cerebral than chaps that spew out inanities like yours
that's except you want to end up a political thug. Only then will such dim witted comments take you anywhere

I'll accept that

this link does work
interesting the name does not come up under a google search
probably because they are selling fake products

I'll be surprised that our first lady would be patronizing 'pirated' goods
The Western governments would not be pleased with this
its like her buying pirated nollywood movies to get the at cheaper cost
well, anything goes in Nigeria

KORLAR:
The same wristwatch worn by Aisha Buhari to the inauguration that Costs £34,500 (N10, 453,000) can also be gotten for $129.

So where did madam buy hers from?

PS: for people that can't stand other people's opinion. I'm an APC supporter and I strongly go against such flamboyance. I made the post for diversity of opinions.

is that you selling an imitate wristwatch?
the name of the purported website reads almost like your name

the website in your snapshot does not exist too

the nigerian judiciary is a mess
this is were Buhari should start his cleansing from
otherwise, cases will just get stuck there

Haba the thecable naawww!!!!

i get respect for the publisher o, but what the heck is this?

.......president Goodluck Jonathan seems to have improved on his relationship with former president, Olusegun Obasanjo, after sending him a rare message of commiseration on the death of his sister

As Obasanjo's relatives been dying since the frosting of relationships with GEJ that he needs to have been sending commiserations?


Jeez!!!!

anyways, carry go... i guess the purpose of such bending of perception is to sell papers

@ article

Pretty fair article, but this is dead wrong

....Princess Stella Oduah was eventually eased out of office but it was already an act too little – no prosecution – and too late. Seeing as it was apparent she had ordered two cars with N255mn of taxpayers’ money

It is Nigeria money, or oil money, but definitely not tax payers money
this is so evident with the fall of oil price were governors are not able to meet their obligations though these mythical tax payers still exist
in fact the money that government is borrowing is hinged on a hopeful future rise in the value of crude oil

I doubt that Saudi Arabia goes about speaking about a hypothetical tax payer's money

AmunRaOlodumare:
I imagine this is true for any populations, cities or kingdom in the past or even today.

You can always try to cut the food supply of the enemy as a kind of strategy (taking into account you're losing soldiers/equipments/resources for it). If the enemy is strong enough to cut your food supply, and you need it and can't take it back, it means you've lost or you're losing the war. When people are pushed to their city enclave, they must live off the food reserves which are sometimes pretty extensive, but you will still need to face the enemy at one point (or enter in diplomatic discussions).

We can imagine as a king you don't want to place yourself in a siege situation. You prefer to engage the enemy well beyond the living quarters, or beyond the capital, where the king lives. Even beyond agricultural fields. If you're a king you engage them at the latest when the enemy starts moving in large numbers and attacking towns under your protection beyond the capital. When you hear about it, you send troops to meet them. I imagine in most cases, Kings knew well in advance when the enemy planned to attack. They probably attacked other towns before. Or refuse to pay tributes if it's a kingdom under your control. Etc.

I'm only speculating here.

Umhhh

the theory does make a lot of 3D sense

With this theory, I'm thinking, that a hypothesis can be made that cities which were walled would tend to seek to a large extent the control of their near and far neighbours around them through warfare or blunt subjugation for reason of self defence
and, the upper class in such cities would tend to have invested more in livestock which their servants would easily herd home in times of war


Thanks much

Great project. I hope it succeeds.

The part of this project that I don't feel comfortable with is the ground level of the land fill from the ocean
this doesn't appear high enough and might consequently make this mini city susceptible to flooding from the ocean tides as well as the drainage issues caused by insufficient gradient.

I am guessing that if this becomes a problem, the city handlers will try to build ocean barrier walls around the city.
This would solve the wave erosion problems,
but will further make the city susceptible to flooding as it would be difficult for water to also get out when it has got in.

....my best wishes

PhysicsMHD:
This is a very good question and I'll give my opinion based on what I've read later today or tomorrow.

Thanks PhysicsQED
I'll look forward to your thoughts around this.

Will we experience time in heaven? Is there such a thing as time in eternity? Will we be timeless in heaven? What do you think?

after all our tok
uncle, i can now confidently answer ya question

yes, we will experience time in heaven, but not in the same context of it ending for us when we or our loved ones die
we will be transformed to be able to cope with the new pleasures of eternity

And the angel which i saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven, and sware by him that LIVETH FOREVER, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that THERE SHOULD BE TIME NO LONGER: Revelation 10: 5 and 6

get a modern translated bible oooooo

OLAADEGBU:
..... The question is would this time ever come to an end?

....touche
i don't think it will ever come to an end
except everything goes into oblivion including any intelligence to measure it

as long as there was a beginning (when things were set in motion) -which is a reference point for time,
there can never logically be an end

the worst or best that can happen is that it will no longer be measured or considered, ....but it will always exist
In heaven, once you say "i saw brother Gbenga singing with the Cherubs"
Na time you they express be that niiii, because 'saw' signifies past tense

@moderatorr1

Who are the THEY that were wrong?

Mbkite:
I discussed tithing with a friend and the issue of accurate payment of tithe popped up. I just want to know your views. should tithe be based on your gross or net income as a christian?

neither
I think it should be based on future income

By faith we are children of Abraham abi?
faith is the "solidity" of things not seen, of things hoped for.

If we have faith that we are millionaires or will be millionaires
then we activate its solidity by tithing our future income

shikena

OLAADEGBU:
God created time.

I agree. Especially as I be Christian

The tilt of the earth's axis as it revolves around the sun causes time.

Nope
The effect from the tilting is only one way of measuring time. It's not the cause of time
and is quite ancient

There is now a generally accepted way of measuring time that has to do with an atomic radiation or something like that

There are some parts of the world which have darkness like half of the year
http://www.livescience.com/41955-north-pole.html
You can't say that it has slower time or 2 days only, can you?

Guess what -Time exists outside our solar system although our solar system is mainly ruled by our sun's energy and its tilts

Time exists because there is a past, present and future. In order words it references activities before, now, and after, at every point in time.

In fact, when you hear words like everlasting, it refers to time, but one that will not cease
It's a little bit different from eternal which is a way of describing no beginning and no end

.....Fellow Nigerians, granted we have over 50 million unemployed youths,....

Is this a statement of fact or is this the typical Nigerian statistics?
Kindly confirm please..

Roughly speaking, your statement translates to 50 million out of circa 180 million Nigerians who are between the age of 18 and 40, (excluding those in schools) as having no employment.

That's extremely wrong
Nigerian unemployment rate is presently less than 30%. see http://ieconomics.com/nigeria-unemployment-rate-forecast
Unemployment rate is calculated based on working age


in fact,.... why am I wasting my time doing this!!!
Goodluck to you

We’re sure it is no longer news that once upon a time notorious armed robber that terrorized the whole nation like a violent of hurricane, Shina Rambo is now a born again Christian and he is not just a man of God but a staunch member of The Redeemed Christian Church of God-RCCG.

According to sources, Pastor Shina Rambo is one of the ministers of God that presided at the just concluded crusade titled Pain After Gain-Lesson For Wrong Choices and held at RCCG King’s Palace opposite Diamond Bank, Lagere Ile-Ife, Osun State last Friday, May 8th, 2015

The crusade which kicked off around 9pm was like a special vigil night and had in attendance tumultuous crowd as well as a traditional ruler, HRM Moses Fabusuyi and top ministers of God such as Pastors Rotimi Williams, Lincton Timothy, Tobi Okunola and so on.

We learnt the crusade was sponsored by the Crest Group and the peak of it was the confession of Pastor Shina Rambo who told the congregation of how he had wasted so many souls including pounding day old babies for rituals during his robbery days.

Now, these are the kind of testimonies i don't feel comfortable with

it almost sounds boastful and quite spiteful to the victims.
he could as well give gory details of how he rap.ed someones wife seated in the audience

In such a mix of audience, he could simply say that he did terrible things, and not bombard us with the details of how he went about doing them.

If he goes envangelizing to a specific group of ritualists or wannabe criminals, he could then reveal reveal such details to them
in order to make them understand that crime does not pay

he started it alright
but he has a credibility issue

no one forced him
so he didnt need to hide behind a wall of silence

@ topic

ok.... STOP
I've heard loads about this nice woman returning 12 million naira

WHAT about the 12 million naira in hard currency itself?
what was such money doing in the airport?
Does the owner pay tax?
is the owner a business man, civil servant or politician?

@ physicsQED

great stuff you've been posting.

Looking at some of these pictures especially of the cityscapes, a question comes to mind.
How did it relate to their agrarian nature (for those that were into agriculture)?

Let me explain..for example,
I always imagined that in the ancient Benin kingdom, households were not clustered together.
each household would be surrounded by its farm, and the only place of building cluster would probably be the village square or market

so i am thinking,
did these guys who lived in clustered cities as shown in your pictures
have farmlands that were apportioned to them which were probably outside the city walls?
If this was the case, would it not have been realy easy for the enemy to cut off their food supply in times of war?

Please, what are your thoughts?

@ OP

in other words
you're a citizen of Nigeria by birth and can run for any office as long as your dad or mum is a Nigerian citizen.
It does not matter the location where you were born wether na space, e no mean
