The article said that UK government spent £14 million (pounds), equivalent to #4.5 billion Naira to secure the conviction of Ibori in London. Essentially, it is expensive to secure conviction within the rule of law (or going through the courts). That it did not cost Nigeria as much as UK to convict Ibori. In other words, the money used to secure Ibori is the money required to maintain all the anti corruption agency over ten years. Glad to help

Ok...... what most of us don't know is that James Ibori was GEJ's number one enemy. Why do u think dat GEJ grants Alamesigha pardon? It was purely because he helped GEJ to d level he is now. But what could be said of Ibori? Ibori hates GEJ with passion that whenever they meet at FEC's meeting, he looks down on GEJ and makes GEJ look inferior. Even Ibori was the major sponspor of late Yardua's campaign, that was why he was discharged in Nigerian court of law. Ibori even kicked against Jonathan becoming president when Yardua died. He hate GEJ with passion and when GEJ eventually became d president, he asked d Attorney General to cooperate with the UK government to make sure that Ibori was apprehended so that he can pay Ibori back in his own coin. If we all observed clearly, we will notice that the attorney general was functioning and flexing muscle during this period....
The moral of this is that, don't look down on any man today, he might be your saviour tomorrow!

Hello Nairalanders, Please I need ur advise. Am currently 2months pregnant, and My husband is thinking of us relocating to Canada. I currently work in the bank while my husband is into Forex and Securities Trading Business. We were doing averagely okay until last year when business started shaking, my husband has lost a lot and now he is thinking of us relocating to Canada to start afresh. If I resign and we sell our properties, and the little savings we have should be enough to sponsor him for a Postgraduate Course (2years), while I follow him as his wife ( then I get a job), he wants this option cos am a professional and I have good work experience. Option 2 is for me to do a post graduate course and he accompanies me (mayb I will get a good job fast cos of my qualifications). if I wait till we have our baby, the expenses will be much(I.e the financial requirement for the visa). My hubby's uncle is ready to assist us, but my husband doesn't want to take the risk of investing in business again. He has Sasacheskwan or Toronto in mind. I will really appreciate advise thanks

...So it's ok and perfectly normal for Paul, the founder of Christianity, to public recite ,verbatim , a popular poem in praise of Zeus, the foremost of the pagan Greek gods

So it would be s similarly ok for Pauline MOGs like Adeboye or Oyedepo to recite, in the pulpit, popular poems in praise of Yoruba gods?
You don't see a problem with that??
OK.

@ debosky, Ajanlekoko, damiso, EfemenaXY, Ewuro4, bellong, chaircover, mbulela, ayox2003, chillisauce, edwife and everyone out there with good ideas on the subject matter.

Folks I need some suggestions as regards the above for my two kids are aged 8 and 5.

I already have a routine nailed on reading and mental maths but I feel like I need to be doing something on the above. I just need ideas, I plan on buying a chessboard and teaching them both to play, other ideas welcome.

Before y'all label me an OTT parent , I just want them to get into the habit of thinking out of the box.

Really sad. I have had an encounter with a doctor who was supposed to be head of a dept.only for him to be struggling to give my dad drip. Dude was sweating profusely trying to fit a needle in my dad's arm for intravenous drip. I had to scold him seriously as in para well well, because my dad was in pains after the dude had pierced his arm like 10 times. Meanwhile there were veins all over his hands but dude couldn't just fit a needle. A nurse eventually did it. The way these dudes talk to patients as if the patients deliberately fell sick, no empathy whatsoever. If not for my age, I would have gone back to school to study medicine to show these peeps how it should be done.

frosbel:
The bible is the word of God, truly inspired by him in all respects and aspects.
My question is, which bible is the inspired word of God ?

Litmus:
Why would bokoharam attack Niger ask yourselves that? Bokoharam is supposedly being fought by Nigeria, Chad and Cameroon. In addition, AU wants to come to Nigeria and UN and France too and yet Bokoharam goes and attacks Niger, inviting more enemies. You think its arrogance, drugs, or like I've alll ways argued Bokoharam wants foreign forces on Nigerian soil.

Why would bokoharam want foreign forces in Nigeria?

My feeling is that the answer depends on the powers backing Bokoharam. If Bokoharam is a genuine wahibist franchise like Alkaida and ISIS funded initially or still so by powers like Saudi Arabia/Quarter then Bokoharam probably are at once seeking to illicit the sympathy of foreign fighters to come join thire Jihad and wanting to spread their Jihad through the West Africa region and in the processes linking up with Alkaida in the Maghreb.

However, if Bokoharam is receiving Western support, then Bokoharam's motive is to legitimate Foreign forces in Nigeria. I know that Nigerians find it difficult to imagine that when those forces do arrive that chiefs behind the scenes could be controlling both the slaughtering of Bokoharam terrorists while at the same time arming and recruiting more terrorists to join Bokoharm so that the fighting never ends in Nigeria. Gradually over time things will deteriorate in Nigeria and perhaps in the sub-region creating lucrative opportunity for all sorts of Nations and interests. Through back-channels, even as Bokoharam is being decimated, Bokoharam will have funds to recruit , terrorist from far-flung places will join them. We would have one vast lucrative war stretching right across West Africa to central Africa. And the potential of Nigeria will die with all this forever or until the Whites come and take control and bring peace, decades down the line. There'd be new lines drawn on the map of West Africa and the people that now make up Nigeria would no longer stand tall but would be like the rest of Africa, wringing our hands and being grateful to the white master and singing his praises and daring to do nothing without his approval. And his approval will never permit space travel because there are hungry mouths to feed first etc, etc

Naijasinglegirl:
but my mother was looking for a job when Buhari was president.

AjanleKoko:
Hehehe.

Election time, and all the 'projects' appear, as if by magic.

Well . . . I have been on high speed trains in France, Germany, China. Even if PDP promises to bring them all to Naija, they ain't smelling my vote.Not even coming within a whiff of it.

I simply cannot stomach another 4 years of big fat lies, unadulterated BS, gross ineptitude, and pure, unbridled presidential Stoopidity

'stealing is not corruption'
'America will know'
'New year is tomorrow'
'I will use technology to fight corruption'

Kimoni:
Ok but I wasn't wandering ooo, I no be Cain now

This is not an endorsement of GEJ, but a rebuke to the silly

I look and laugh

these critics are like the greedy dog thirsting after the bones of the none-existent dog
They might end up in a worse state than they presently have if they take the leap of stupidity

Now, don't get me wrong
I'm not in anyway endorsing Jonathan
what I'm simply saying is that when you are down
and others who had the power to help passed you by without offering any help
at least first thank the man who helped you onto his donkey before raining insults on him for not offering you his horse instead

Why critisize Jonathan's rail networks stupidly?

I have once commented about folks that castigate politicians who complete their predecessors projects
as it not being their projects
i think it is extremely stupid and one of the reasons why we have abandoned projects littering the whole place
after all, why complete that road if the credit is given to the governor who simply graded the red earth and ate the rest money
is given the credit

I have now noticed another dangerous dimension
Folks criticize the good works that a few politicians have mustered the courage to do
so, a governor tars roads that never existed during the regime of previous administrations
and these critics cry out "is that not supposed to be a normal thing?"

a president gets our rail lines kicking to life
from the doldrums were they once existed in
and these critics cry out "Nonsense, why doesn't he provide trams and high speed trains"

in our more private life
someone asks for help in paying school fees, and a good samaritan pays half the fees
these critics bark out "Why take a man close to the stream and then stop him from drinking the water"

How the greedy dog lost its bone

Ever heard the story of the greedy dog and the bone
It goes something like this.

The dog grabbed a bone and was on his jolly way home accross a bridge
he looked at the water below and saw his reflection
thinking it was another dog with a bone, it began to growl hoping that the other dog will let go of its bone
and would have 2 bones
well as it growled, its reflection growled too.
It soon got upset. dropped its bone int the river and dived after its reflection hoping to get the othe bone

I asked because I know you once relocated and wasn't sure where exactly you are right now

I will provide a video which after watching it, I'll like to know what you thought of it

I will also provide a transcript of the video
but to be honest reading the transcript without actually watching the video, wouldn't give the information provided in the video any justice at all, as one can't read from the transcript, as demonstrated in the video, the tones Paul allegedly used when he wrote the letter to the set of "aggrieved" Corinthians

Anyways, watch out for the video & transcript, as I am still on the road, driving. I will post both as soon as I am back indoors

If its bad misrepresentation or the fault of the copyist or interpreter like many of you said, won't all this put the whole Bible in 'skepticism'. I mean why misinterpret one verse when you can misinterpret the whole Bible?.
