Back to the topic; Madam do not marry him, not because he is not suitable for you, but rather you are not psychologically mature for marriage. A lady with the mentality of "if you don't pay my bills or spoil me with gifts, then you not the one" is definitely not psychologically ripe for marriage ...... also the hypothetical anecdote you tried using on him further reaffirms my stance on your immaturity........ so i'll as a matter of urgency admonish you take out time, forget marriage for now, and do some growing up before you venture into that esteemed institution called marriage which is often trivialise by kids of today.....



*for those quoting me on inanities, you are only wasting your time as i will not reciprocate the privilege*

Stop all these childish response to a post, and for the fact that you understood her post is enough reason.

Dahveydson:
This is first of its kind. No?

Even though some will say, na apology we go chop?

It shows a sense of responsibility on the part of the government. They've apologised and promised that things will improve from this weekend, we can only hope it does.

We don't want conditional promises, they should restore power, period. Do they expect us to be monitoring the vandals, no excuses for failure. We're not after the megawatts they are talking about, all we need is electricity.

eluquenson:
The federal government has apologised to Nigerians for the persistent power failures, blaming the situation on gas failure as well as sabotage and vandalisation of power infrastructure.

According to a statement issued in Abuja on Friday by Segun Adeyemi, special adviser to Lai Mohammed, minister of information and culture, the government said that all efforts were being made to rectify the situation and ensure a gradual improvement in the power situation.

“There will be a decent improvement in the power situation from this weekend, thanks to ongoing remedial efforts that will double the current power supply to 4,000WM. Getting back to the 5,074MW all-time high that was reached earlier will take a few more weeks,” Mohammed said.

The minister said that at a time the routine maintenance by the Nigeria Gas Company had affected the supply of gas to power stations, forcing down power supply from an all-time high of 5,074 MW to about 4,000MW, a combination of unsavoury incidents further crashed the power supply to about half that figure.

“The vandalisation of the Forcados export pipelines forced oil companies to shut down, making it impossible for them to produce gas. Then, workers at the Ikeja DISCOS, who were protesting the disengagement of some of their colleagues after they failed the company’s competency test, apparently colluded with the National Transmission Station in Osogbo to shut down transmission,” he explained.

“Finally, the unfortunate strike by the unions at the NNPC, over the restructuring of the corporation, shut down the Itarogun power station, the biggest in the country. Due to these factors, only 13 out of the 24 power stations in the country are currently functioning. It is this same kind of unsavoury situation that has affected fuel supply and subjected Nigerians to untold hardship.”

The minister condemned the situation in which some Nigerians, under the guise of the various unions in the oil and gas sector or sheer vandalisation, would continuously sabotage the country’s power infrastructure.

“The bitter truth is that for as long as these groups of Nigerians continue to sabotage the power infrastructure, Nigerians cannot enjoy a decent level of power supply. We therefore admonish all Nigerians who may be agitating for their rights in whatever form to refrain from any action that will further hurt the same people they claim to be protecting,” he added.

During the week, Femi Adesina, presidential spokesman, had blamed Nigerians for sabotaging power infrastructure.

“On the issue of power, it seems Nigerians are their own problems. You can recall about four weeks ago, the power ministry came out to say that the megawatts we had was 5070, which is an all-time high in 16 years,” he said.

“A few days after, some people blew installations in Bayelsa, we lost about 1600 megawatts immediately. After that, installation was blown in Delta and we lost another 1,000 megawatts. What would the government do in that kind of circumstance?

“If the people who should be provided power are the ones sabotaging installations, they can’t turn round to say government is not providing power. Nigerians need to determine what they want. If South Africa has about 50,000 megawatts, it is because their own people are not sabotaging their installations, they are not going to blow up the lines. If Nigerians continue to blow up and sabotage, then they can’t come around to say that there is no power.”

lie lie Muhammed you know all this impediments, but your party APC, was busy criticizing GEJ's Govt. What do you want Nigerians to do now, praise you? You better go and restore power. No excuses.

This is a court confession not from Efcc he has even promise to refund the money from his landed properties in Abuja and some Ineffectual buffoon loyalists are calling this media propaganda. This is why we are where we are because we don't condemn corruption everything is about ethnicity and religion. The greatest beneficiaries of the Ineffectual Buffon are from the north and some blind southerners and defending the Ineffectual buffoon when they never benefited from his incompetence.

My parents have always wanted us to marry our tribe and not like we are in our state that I can say to get them will be possible. I have met with several men but didn't go into a relationship with them because they are not my tribe. The ones that are my tribe are so annoying and wayward. Now, there is this guy I have known for 4yrs as a friend, he have been so good to me but a barber and also in his final year, he is my tribe but I have not paid attention to him all this while upon he loves me. Am now in love with him but he's a barber and am scared if loving him and going into a relationship with him is a nice idea or should I still wait a little more?

From what you posted, you said dat you're now in love with him but he's a barber and that he is in his final year( i believe in higher institution). This goes to tell you that he's not just a barber but an industrious person, despite being an undergraduate, he still find time to cut hair nd earn some money. For u to ask such question i believe dat u're not yet ready to get married. Just continue your open relationship, where every dick and harry comes to park in ur garage, cos marriage is for the matured mind. Please i will also like to know what u do for a living, cos u've told us battle guy.

Beside, your alarming headline is false. There is no national blackout in Nigeria. Here in Abuja, I still enjoyed light till this morning.

My friend stop it, u guy takes things political all the time. We're are having electricity supply issues almost everywhere and pple a saying their various experiences in their respective locations, and also trying to know the source so as to know who to call to order. Just use ur sense i beg

Silence in the face of injustice is complicity with the oppressor - Ginetta Sagan

If only life was just fair, millions of Nigerians have just woken up this morning with absolutely no clue on what to just eat or feed their families.

This disconnect from the government and the unholy silence in the face of biting hardship bodes evil for this Nation.

I pray we survive what is coming.

There is total black out for 3weeks now, in Kwale, Delta State.

thieves these days always gives excuses for stealing, If their excuses is anything to go by, about 90% of Nigerians would have been thieves cos they'll present 1Million reasons for engaging in such but they prefer being diligent and not living above their income. He said he was a tricycle operator, but stopped cos the money was no longer enough(meaning @ point the money was enof until he started living above his income), cos @ 23 he already has a wife probably wit kids too, instead of preparing for the future.

cramjones:
This is not the first time we would hear things like "automatic employment" or "automatic scholarships" in Nigeria. It has indeed become a national banter in the Nigerian political space. The latest one being PMB to the family members of the late James Ocholi, SAN. Let us see why this makes the government look bad, and why actions like this continually affirms that Nigeria is a failed state!

Firstly, what does automatic employment really mean? It simply means that whether qualified or unqualified, you would be given "job". This further shows that an appreciable proportion of the the work done in our Ministries are performed by unqualified people. In a country where actual work gets done, would never have any allowance for "automatic employment". Employment in any serious economy is based on merit and capability. The keyword is "capability". Even if you knew someone to get the job, you must be capable.

Secondly, this phenomenum shows that the job position was not needed in the first place. it was created based on emotions and the need to "compensate" a political family. What this means is that there would be virtually no work being done, but salary paid. Perhaps that is why there is no need to prove capability or qualification, because the position is simply created to pay someone salary, and not out of need to drive the goals of the ministry forward.

Thirdly, this attitude brings us to the big picture of the rot in our civil service. I met a young man recently who told me he worked in the civil service in Abuja, and only shows up to work twice a month! There is absolutely no how Nigeria can develop if we see government jobs as places to earn salary rather than to work. When work is not performed nothing moves. Could this be why Lagos seems to be the only city that is a bit insulated by the recession because they work for their money and do not rely solely on oil money where less work is needed?

Could the western world be right about their stereotype of blacks being lazy? Is it by fluke that Japan, South Korea, Germany and the rest of the pack are where they are today, while we wallow in our mediocrity, nepotism and lacadesical approach to work? GEJ did the same "automatic employment" to the family of those murdered as by the past Minister of Interior, Abba Moro, through the immigration employment scam. Rather than bring the killer minister to justice he opted for a murderer to remain in his cabinet and "solved" the problem by "automatic employment".

Can Buhari and his government take a different turn, by bringing to light and fixing our dead emergency response system, dilapidated highways, and most especially fix our comatose, non-functional health care system. Won't this be a much better way to honor the family of the late James Ocholi?

I wish the Ocholi family well. This is not meant to attack them, but to highlight a fundamental problem with our system. May peace and comfort anchor this grieving family, and may the souls of the departed rest in peace.

-CramJones

. What about the families of those that brought glory to our great country Nigeria but are no more, what has the Federal Govt. done for their children? I'm not against what the President did, but he should equally do same to others

cckris:
EFCC should have arrested those that shortchanged Nigeria, & find out if some of the money is in their pockets.

It meant that you are trying to ignorantly slow down developmental processess the more. Come to think of it what has EFCC really done? If not arrest bail and release.

hrworld:
People like you are enjoying the amala politics Fayose is playing meanwhile the reasonable Ekiti people are lamenting lack of development in that State. You wake everyday and you start doing is direct attack on the President. A state Governor? It clearly shows that he does not have anything upstairs.

Lia, who are the Ekiti people that are complaining of no development. All complains we know and hear about all come from Osun State. You here, liar.

As part of efforts to support the children left behind by the late Minister of State for Labour, Mr James Ocholi (SAN), the Federal Government has announced automatic employment at the Federal Ministry of Justice for Aaron, his eldest son.



The Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, revealed this to the Ocholi family when he paid a visit to his Kado Estate residence at about 3:00pm on Tuesday, to convey his and President Muhammadu Buhari’s condolence message.

He also disclosed that Aaron’s other siblings would enjoy scholarships for their educational pursuits, courtesy of the Federal Government who has pledged to cushion the effect of the loss of their parents.

The Minister added that the Senior Advocate was a very critical part of the change effort of the Federal Government.

He said that President Buhari personally mandated him to inform the family of the late Minister that his administration would do all within its power to ensure he is not missed.

Mr Malami consoled them that death was a necessary end that was bound to happen, adding that God in his infinite mercy had a reason for allowing them to depart the way they did.

“I am here to convey Mr President’s condolence message and he has asked me to personally inform you that you have been given automatic employment in the Federal Ministry of Justice. The employment letter is in process and you can resume work after now”, he told Ocholi’s eldest son.

“Your father was a very hardworking and conscientious member of the Federal Executive Council who was very passionate and worked hard for the realisation of the change agenda of this government.

“Indeed, it is a sad moment for all of us and the vacuum which his death has created is not only for the family, but the leadership as well. He was a great pillar in the struggle which brought this administration to power. He played a major role in the merger process,” the AGF said.

Mr Malami also recalled that as far back as the days of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), Ocholi was one of those who stood strong behind President Buhari and was one of those who took part in the judicial struggle afterward in an effort to claim the presidential mandate at the election tribunal up to the Supreme Court at that time.

He prayed that his departed soul rests in peace.

The Minister of State for Labour and Employment died in a road accident along the Kaduna-Abuja highway on Sunday, March 6, along with his wife and son.

The deceased and his family were returning from a private visit in Kaduna.

Good one from Mr President

OlujobaSamuel:
so he should be let off because he introduced a nice policy?
Nigerians!!! I fear fear for una oo.

This was exactly what the President did as a military head of state(coupist) after he overthrew the democratically elected president (Alhaji Shehu Shagari) he started arresting his enemies in the name of corruption. He has not changed.

What have they done with other acclaimed corrupt person's they've been, is it no same arrest bail and release?

chriskosherbal:
I think EFCC is bent on taking no corruption from anybody this time.

There's nothing special that EFCC is doing, its just arrest and release
