Foreign Affairs › See How Donald Trump Suffers For His Call To Ban Muslims From America by Everfrank(op): 8:45pm On Dec 09, 2015

Donald Trump’s businesses and brand have
taken a beating since the GOP frontrunner
entered the 2016 race for the White House.
In the latest blow, Scotland’s First Minister Nicola
Sturgeon has dropped Trump from the
country’s global business outreach network
because of his remarks about banning Muslims
from traveling to the United States, the BBC
reports .
Trump was appointed GlobalScot ambassador in
2006. The program utilizes experts in various
business fields worldwide to connect with and help
Scottish businesses grow. His “recent remarks have
shown he is no longer fit to be a business
ambassador for Scotland,” a government
spokeswoman told the BBC. His membership
cancellation went into effect immediately.
There are also calls to strip Trump of an honorary
doctorate in business from Robert Gordon
University, which was bestowed in 2010. The
petition from the Scottish university accuses Trump
of hate speech.
“We respectfully request that Robert Gordon
University strips Donald Trump of the honorary
degree it bestowed on him with immediate
effect. Why is this important? We feel that Donald
Trump’s unrepentant, persistent verbal attacks on
various groups of people based on nationality,
religion, race and physical abilities are a huge
detriment to RGU.”
200,000 United Kingdom citizens have also signed
a petition that Trump be barred from entering
Britain’s shores. Any petition exceeding 100,000
signatures is automatically taken into consideration
for debate in Parliament, according to the BBC .
The move came after Trump’s continuous claims
that parts of London are so heavily saturated with
radical Islam that police won’t enter, fearing for
their lives. This claim has been discounted as false
and also heavily mocked, with social media users
posting under the hashtag #trumpfacts images
like Queen Elizabeth II wearing a headscarf with the
caption: “Even the British monarch is now forced to
wear a hijab.”
On Wednesday, the Lifestyle chain of department
stores in the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Saudi
Arabia and Qatar dropped Trump’s home goods
line, Trump Home . Landmark, the parent company
that owns the store chain, said it would pull
Trump’s products from shelves in all its 190 stores
throughout the Middle East, Africa and Pakistan.
“In light of the recent statements made by the
presidential candidate in the U.S. media, we have
suspended sale of all products from the Trump
Home décor range,” CEO Sachin Mundhwa said in
an email to Reuters .
This isn’t the first time Trump’s comments on the
campaign trail have hurt his business ventures. In
July, Macy’s department stores announced they
would cut ties with Trump after his remarks about
Mexican people being criminals and rapists. NBC
and Spanish-language network Univision also cut
ties with Trump, vowing not to air Trump’s Miss
USA pageant.
Mattress maker Serta also announced in July it
would end its contract with Trump. Serta was
selling Trump Home iSeries branded mattresses
that are priced between $1,299 to $2,999.
“Serta will not renew its contract at the end of the
year and we will work with retailers to transition
products by that time,” the company tweeted at the
time.
Trump had apparently set the tone when he
launched his presidential candidacy by calling
Mexicans rapists and drug runners. His rallies have
been punctuated by protests and racially-charged
violence .

Politics › Buhari Is The Shortest Route To Igbo Presidency: APC Spokesman. by Everfrank(op): 10:17am On Dec 09, 2015

Buhari Is The Shortest
Route to Igbo Presidency -
APC Spokesman
Spokesperson of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) in the
South-East, Mr. Osita Okechukwu,
has canvassed support for the
President Muhammadu Buhari-led
government, saying it was the
easiest way an Igbo man could
occupy the presidency at the end of
his administration.
Addressing guests after the Junior
Chamber International (JCI) U.S.A.,
Enugu Chapter, a Non-
governmental organisation (NGO),
honoured him with an award
alongside three other prominent
Nigerians, for his struggle to
advance democracy in Nigeria,
Okechukwu warned Ndigbo to
refrain from anything that would
derail the present administration.
He said: “Buhari’s eight-year term
is the fastest route to actualising
our dream for a president of Igbo
extraction, through peaceful means
- not hate propaganda. From the
zoning convention, when you
consider all factors in our favour,
in 2023, it will be our turn, as our
brothers in the Southwest and
South South had been president
since our return to civil rule in
1999.”
According to Okechukwu: “In 2023,
Ndigbo could argue that the South
West has given Nigeria a president
for eight years; the north has
produced a president and the
South-South has produced a
president. So, it is proper that the
South-East should give the country
a president as well.”

Crime › Rector Of Maritime Academy In N13bn Mess Collapses, Dies Of Heart Attack(Pic) by Everfrank(op): 11:51pm On Dec 08, 2015

Joshua Okpo, the Rector of Maritime Academy of
Nigeria (MAN) in Oron, Akwa Ibom State is dead.
He reportedly died of heart attack on Tuesday.
Recall that Minister of Transportation, Rotimi
Amaechi, a few weeks ago ordered the probe of the
accounts of the Academy and the tenure of its
Rector over the N18 billion released to the
institution .
The Rector, it was gathered, incurred the Minister’s
wrath when he accused the Nigerian Maritime
Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) of
starving the academy of funds .
The Minister, it was learnt, summoned the Acting
Director-General of NIMASA, Haruna Jauro and
demanded explanation as to why the agency was
starving the academy of its statutory five per cent
funds.
“The NIMASA DG was really shocked by Okpo’s
allegation and he explained to the Honourable
Minister that NIMASA had regularly released money
due to the academy,” a report said.
Jauro, it was learnt, also informed the Minister that
NIMASA had released more than N18 billion to
MAN Oron between 2009 and 2014.
It was at this point that Okpo, who also attended
the meeting, confirmed to the Minister that the
academy had actually received up to N13 billion
since 2011 when he assumed duties as the Rector
of the institution.

So if the US stop issuing visas to people whose names are mohammed, aisha, abdulkareem, usman, muttalib, zainab, and other islamic\arab names, it is ok. Security first.

kennyman2000:
I tell you, nairalanders won the fight. You all thought nairalanders agitations and complains were joke. Atlast, we won!! Am sure, somebody showed Buhari nairalanders posts hence his backing out of the game.

God bless seun osewa.
God bless every nairalanders.

It's not yet Uhuru. The bill in question is a brainchild of the senators and it seemed to be their favourite. It's receiving accellarated passage as it has gone through second reading in under two weeks. Before it becomes a law it must go to the house of Representatives and the president must assent. The catch for the legislators, the proponents of the bill, is that there is a provision for the joint houses to overrule any presidential veto against the bill. This can happen if after 30 days the president withholds his assent and fails to convince the two chambers of his reasons for doing so.
We should brace for the worst as the bill seemed to be a matter of survival, life and death for some senior and influential legislators.

Politics › Buhari Dissociates Self From Social Media Bill. by Everfrank(op): 8:19pm On Dec 07, 2015

The Nigerian Presidency has issued the statement below, quoting President Muhammadu Buhari as dissociating himself and his administration from the media muzzle law being cooked by the Nigerian Senate.

Read full statement below:

SOCIAL MEDIA BILL: BUHARI RESTATES COMMITMENT To FREE SPEECH.
President Muhammadu Buhari has reiterated the commitment of his administration to the protection of free speech in keeping with democratic tradition.

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu who was reacting to the public hostility towards the social media bill now being debated by the Senate, said President Buhari has sworn to defend the constitution of Nigeria and would not lend his hand to anything that is inconsistent with the constitution.

“But he is not averse to lawful regulation, so long as that is done within the ambit of the constitution which he swore to uphold.”

“The President said free speech is central to democratic societies anywhere in the world. The President explained that without free speech, elected representatives won’t be able to gauge public feelings and moods about governance issues.

“As a key component of democratic principles,” the President acknowledged that people in democratic societies “are so emotionally attached to free speech that they would defend it with all their might.”

“Malam Garba Shehu explained that President Buhari is fully aware of the public reservations about the proposed legislation but assured that there is no cause for alarm “because the Senate is a democratic senate. The President won’t assent to any legislation that may be inconsistent with the constitution of Nigeria.”

Travel › See Indian Man Who Cycled To Naija Thru 110 Countries With A Message by Everfrank(op): 8:29pm On Dec 06, 2015*

An Indian national, Mr Somen Debnath, on
Thursday said that he arrived Lagos on
bicycle after visiting 110 other countries in
the last 11 years through same means.The
News Agency of Nigeria reports that
Debnath revealed in Lagos that Nigeria was
among the 191 countries he would be
visiting to promote Indian culture.
He added that the tour was also to create
awareness on the effects HIV/AIDS among
young people.
“The whole essence of my ‘Around the World
Bicycle Tour’ programme is to promote Indian
culture and raise global awareness on HIV/
AIDS through the education of young men and
women worldwide.
As a youth myself, I strongly believe that youths
in every community globally can make the much
desired change we all need.
I am in Lagos to sensitise young Nigerians in
universities and colleges on what they should
know about HIV/AIDS. So far in the last 11
years, I have visited 111 countries including
Nigeria on my bicycle.”
Debnath said that he started the HIV/AIDS
awareness campaign in his hometown in
Sundarbans, India, in May 2004, with visits
to NGOs, schools, colleges, universities,
commercial sex workers and restaurants.He
said that he had visited some students of
universities and colleges in Lagos to create
awareness among them on how to avoid
being infected with HIV/AIDS.
Debnath , a graduate of Zoology from the
University of Calcutta, India, said that it was
imperative for young Nigerians to abstain
from unprotected sex, but to engage in safe
sex by using condoms.
He also enjoined Nigerians not to stigmatise
or discriminate against persons living with
HIV/AIDS (PLHA)in their communities, but
to always show them love and care.He,
however, said that his tour had been fraught
with dangers and challenges.These include;
being held captive by the Taliban in
Afghanistan, robbed six times in Central
Asia to being beaten eight times by
skinheads.
Debnath said that during his tour, he also
had to contend with wild animals including
Rhinos, Elephants, Cheetahs, Pythons and
other life-threatening ones.He commended
the Indian Government, Indians in the
Diaspora and people in the host countries
for supporting his global HIV/AIDS
campaign tour.

I agree with some of the views. But we never forget the role that Matthew Hassan Kukah and other Christian clergy and elites played in goading Boko Haram into monsters. They it was that propagated the view that Boko Haram was founded, by this same Muslim leaders he is now accusing, with the sole aim of annihilating Christians. They highlighted minority Christian victimization and seemed to rejoice the majority Muslim victimization by Boko Haram. It was the same northern Christian clergy and elites that follow convinced Jonathan, a Christian, along that line. That's how Boko Haram grew into the monsters that they are today.
It's the case of the pot calling kettle black.

Welcome Everfrank. Lovely house there , they can add the plastic pipes to your house even before the decking, only problem will be passing it through the lintels now. wait till after the upper floor to look at other options to your roofing plan.

Thanks my Oga. Ill be interested to know the cost of your decking- how many tons of rod and bags of cement used in the casting, wood etc. Also is it wise to use counter lever to increase space on the upper floor? Thanks.

A second issue I have is the plan itself. It was made for me by a friend, a Julius Berger architect who didn't do a modern plan for me. Being a novice I didn't realize that the reigning separate roofing of modern buildings is established and determined from the foundation itself. He just drew a rectangle kind of a thing and the builders are saying that my roof has to be one big rectangular shape. Is there any amendment I can do to alter this? Pls I need help as I will commerce decking work. Thanks in anticipation.

I am very glad that I jam this thread. Greetings to Oga spider and all contributors to this thread. I am also building a 5 bedroom duplex that is very similar to the one in progress.
I am also using 9 inches block on the ground floor with a few 6 inches that was used to partition a toilet and the kitchen. I have already added 3 couches of block on top of the lintel thereby finishing block work on the ground floor. My next undertaking will be the decking, which I am planning for seriously. I faced lots of challenges mostly through various and desperate attempts by my "supervisor" relations to inflate prices as I am far away from home.
Also the consultant I have made a mistake/omission in the DPP casting- the first work he did in my absence. He didn't do any plumbing work for the toilets. I noticed the 4" pvc pipes that you stand inside block holes in your initial pictures which I guess are for toilet.

You are a fool to count the South south states as Biafra land.. Mind you Biafra or whatever you decide to call yourselves consist of only five states. You better get this fact into your head as we the people of the South south do not identify with any Biafra.
Our people never forget how during the brief reign of Biafra Igbos enslaved us and treated us as a conquered people. A clarion call is hereby made to all people of the South south- the Ijaws, the Itshekiris, the Ibibios , the Ikwerres etc to dissociate our land from these fraudsters and take our own destiny in our hands. We can be a Dubai on our own. These guys are fraudsters and not trustworthy as they are eying our oil as the basis for their Biafra. That's why instead of demonstrating in their land they chose to do it in our states.
Nigeria started on a good footing but for the Igbos and their greed. They brought the military into politics via the 1966 coup and the civil war of 1967-1970 thereby corrupting our democracy. They are equally responsible for everything evil in Nigeria today- from contraband to fake drugs, from Yahoo yahoo to kidnapping, from armed robbery to piracy, from stealing to baby factories just name it. We reject evil in its totality. People of South south be warned. If you shake hand with a leper he will embrace you and infect you with leprosy. Be warned!
