No wonder Diezani didn't appear before the Senate Committee when she was called upon to honour their invitation.
OBJ even termed her as one of the 5 prime ministers under GEJ's government.
I'm sorry to say, GEJ was not a leader at all.

kaycid77:
This is the problem of Nigeria and backwardness, just like in jamb, this aboki has only spent 15 mins because its obvious he can't give much, a Yoruba man spent 1 hour and an Igbo man spent 1 hr 20 mins.... but huasa man spent 15 mins and was not even a former senate. SMH

Very, very, very true...

Urine:
How come nobody is talking about Akpabio's statement that NNPC didn't remit a single kobo to the Federation for 7 months.

Yet some people will make us to believe that PDP is the next best thing after slice bread.

Seriously, Dieziani & GEJ have lots to answer for.

Which means Lamido Sanusi was true to say that NNPC didn't remit huge funds into the federation account, yet he was castigasted my numerous wailing wailers.

Akpabio with his statement has finished any credible opinion of the last administration.

An upper-cut delivered in a clownish fashion...PDP will stay very long as an opposition party with that statement.

rasojie:
Akpabio:
There was a period as a governor of an oil producing state where i struggled to make phone call to a serving petroleum minister, will you ensure equality ...........
Saraki:Which period is that?
Akpabio: We are talking about change hahahahah

Akpabio has slowly opened a can of worms..PDP wailers what say ye?

Fashola set the benchmark for today
Kachikwu is not doing fair as well, too push for my liking.

This is a lot different from the days of 'bow & go' under the PDP government....change is trully here.

The Netherlands will not be playing at Euro 2016 after a 3-2 defeat to the Czech Republic ensured their miserable qualifying campaign ended in failure.

The Dutch knew only victory would do at the Amsterdam Arena, but even then they needed third-placed Turkey to lose to Iceland to clinch third place themselves and a play-off spot in Group A.

Goals from Pavel Kaderabek and Josef Sural, however, put the Czech Republic 2-0 up inside half an hour, and while the visitors were reduced to 10 men when Marek Suchy was sent off before half-time, the Netherlands failed to capitalise.

Instead Robin van Persie, who went on as a substitute in the 38th minute, headed home an own goal to put the result beyond doubt, before Klaas-Jan Huntelaar and Van Persie scored late consolations.

It is the first time the Netherlands have failed to qualify for a major tournament since they missed the 2002 World Cup and attention will swiftly turn to the future of head coach Danny Blind.

The Royal Dutch Football Association insisted the 54-year-old would remain in charge regardless of the team's fate, but pressure is sure to mount, with Southampton boss Ronald Koeman tipped as a potential alternative.

Interesting, this is very interesting indeed!

Nothing will unseat PMB, unless he chooses not to contest in 2019.

So when will the Presidency come to Ndigbos - nothing from PDP or APC?

I guess the Ndigbos should have developed APGA from being a regional party to a more Pan-nationalist party.

Buhari have already given the list, at least we already know that his name is on the list as minister for petroleum.

I may be wrong, but I think Buhari doesn't have confident in the Senate President, hence the delay tactics in releasing the list.

Anyways, there's still 6hrs to go before end of today.

The ministerial list has since been forwarded to the Senate, the onus is on the Senate to release the list.

PDP minus 1
APC plus 1

Out of the various media outlet, PMB chose to have an interview with Sarahareporters goes to show how well placed the media outlet has been in Nigeria.

One thing I like in the interview, he said that journalists show do more 'investigative journalism'. Most of our journalists in Nigeria are just too lazy to go the extra mile.

Bunch of jobless rented crowd - they have dented the hope of Saraki immersaly.

Whoever organised this protest on behalf of Saraki should be sacked!

tartar9:
there are both authentic and fabricated hadiths for your argument to be even considered simply use the authentic one's,simple!

Tartar9, please which of the hadiths is the most authentic one to use?

The intriguing part is why are the pilgrims both men & women dressed half-nakedd in white for the religious exercises in Mecca?

dearpreye:
Hmmm

This is not how to treat fellow muslims who have paid thousand of dollars to honour their faith.

It really shows the KSA have no regards for humans - dead or alive.

So sad to view the above picture. I think the dead will eventually be close to one thousand.

Very sad to see lots of people died in such a gruesome way.
RIP to the dead!!!

Justice Mu’azu Pindiga, chairman of the Rivers State governorship election tribunal, was removed after investigators from the Department of State Security (DSS) discovered that the judge had accepted a bribe of N200 million from Governor Nyesom Wike, the major defendant in an electoral case before the tribunal.

Our sources within the DSS said their agents confronted the judge as well as the President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Zainab Bulkachuwa, with evidence of the bribe. Justice Bulkachuwa then decided to remove the tribunal chairman.

Justice Mohammed Ambrosa was then asked to replace the compromised Justice Pindiga, as the President of the Court of Appeal said there was no point swearing in a new judge.

Two lawyers representing clients whose petitions were before the electoral tribunal told SaharaReporters that they welcomed the firing of Justice Pindiga. “Apart from the fact that he has been exposed for being corrupt, he has not demonstrated any knowledge of electoral matters,” one of the lawyers said. “I can tell you that a number of lawyers who have appeared before him have found him wanting when it comes to issues pertaining to the electoral laws of this country,” he added.

Another lawyer echoed the sentiment. “We had protested to the President of Court of Appeal to replace the judge. He was a poor judge,” he said.

After learning about the replacement of Justice Pindiga, Mr. Wike’s lawyers launched a feeble protest, criticizing the reconstitution of the tribunal. However, their protest was silenced when they were told that the governor’s bribe to the removed judge had been exposed.

Governor Wike had made at least two attempts to see the Chief Justice of Nigeria to seek the CJN’s help to influence the outcome of the tribunal, but the nation’s top judge declined to meet with the governor, citing his fear of President Muhammadu Buhari.

SaharaReporters learned that Mr. Wike’s lawyers facilitated the collection of the N200 million by the ousted tribunal chairman.

Justice Bulkachuwa, who oversees the Court of Appeal, is mentioned in legal circles as a keen receiver of inducement in past electoral tribunal cases.

Richard Dawkins has lambasted Saudi Arabia's "sick" offer to build 200 mosques for refugees in Germany, as the Gulf state still refuses to shelter those fleeing war-stricken Syria.
Dawkins, 74, branded the news "either a sick joke or sick insult to German generosity" on Thursday after reports emerged that the wealthy Arab state offered to build the mosques in the European country, which is expecting to take 800,000 refugees this year.

While thousands of refugees make the perilous journey across continents to European countries, Saudi Arabia and five other Gulf states have offered zero resettlement places. Dawkins said the news was "certainly sick", adding he is "horribly afraid it might not be a joke". The atheist, biologist and author added that the only thing that could be "more useless to refugees in Germany than 200 mosques" was 201 mosques.

German newspaper, The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, reported the plans to build 200 mosques, quoting Lebanese newspaper al Diyar. Further details of how Saudi Arabia would build the 200 mosques remain unclear. Amnesty International reported, "From Asia to Europe, large wealthy countries have turned their backs on Syrian refugees. All six Gulf countries, Russia and Japan have not offered to resettle a single refugee".

Saudi Arabia joins Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain in failing to offer any resettlement places.

The Gulf States have received mounting criticism for their "deafening" silence over the refugee crisis.
Last month, Germany's interior minister announced that the country was expecting the arrival of as many as 800,000 refugees this year - four times as many as 2014.

Germany remains the top destination for refugees in Europe, receiving 43% of all asylum applications in the 28-nation European Union. The news was met with shock and disbelief on social media.

Moses enacted a legal procedure to protect the wife (cf. Exod. 21:1-11). This legal procedure would have several requirements:

1. it took some amount of time
2. it took a priest or Levite to write it
3. it probably required the return of the dowry
Hopefully, these procedures would give the couple a chance to reconcile.

Biblical marriage is a religious covenant (YHWH Himself was a witness), not just a civil document (cf. Pro. 2:17). We must remember that promises we make in God's name are binding. Marriage among believers is possibly the best human analogy of covenant faithfulness. Another reference can be found in Malachi 2:16, where God emphatically said “he hates divorce”

Jesus confirmed the intent of God for marriage as one man, one woman for life (cf. Matt. 5:31). Anything else is not the ideal. The problem comes in how to balance Jesus' words in this context with His words of forgiveness in other contexts. The standard for Kingdom followers is high, but so too, is the grace of God! In this area a case-by-case approach is better than rigid legal rules.
We should reminded that Jesus commented that all Scriptural teaching on how to live for God is summed up in only two priority statements (cf. Matt. 22:34-40; Mark 12:28-34; Luke 10:25-28):

a. Deut. 6:4 – love God completely
b. Lev. 19:18 – love your neighbour (which surely includes one's family members) as yourself
Surely #b includes one's spouse!

So to the OP, your pastor is very economical with the truth and his interpretation of the passages he read out for justifying his action are very ‘suspect’

This is a serious issue for the 'Senator' if this is true.

They all went on a consolation mission to Otuoke.

Within the last 20years, the Indian government invested massively in information technology - real human capital development - where the likes of the world's best developers' and programmers' emerged from.

Now we have huge conglomerates and financial institutions like GM, Citibank, JP Morgan, Barclays, Ford Motors, Microsoft, CocaCola, Google, Apple Inc, just to mention a few hiring the best of these indians in IT. Most of the call-centres of major companies are also based in Indian.

Go to Bangalore today - known as the silicon valley of India - that state alone exports more IT professionals, so yes the Indian dude is right - we Nigerians import intelligence.

What kind of human capital development programme have any of our past governments embarked upon - nothing - except to embezzle and corrupt the education systems?

Also our orientation must fundamentally change - in the sense that an average Nigeria wants to get to the top and be rich by all means without 'grafting' for it. Hardwork and persistence are the keys to greatness, there's no shortcut.

I don't blame the Indian guys - they have told the truth - it's now left to us to make a clean change in our country.

ttmacoy:
Not smart?

How many Nigerians do we have heading global companies?

Should i list Indians for you? Pepsi, Microsoft, Deloitte, former Vodafone, former Citigroup, just past Deutche Bank. Should I continue?

If we are honest we know he is telling the truth.

We have a poor attitude to work a work always looking for the short cut and quick riches.

We can now add Google to the list of companies headed by an Indian!!!

The myriad number of issues facing Christianity sounds like a Top Rated Scandalous Reality TV Show. They have AshleyMadison, love jones, porn addictions, gay marriages, money schemes up the yazoo, church fights, church splits, adultery, molestation and that list is ever-exxxpanding.

And now? Now, the Gay Pastors who lead secret lives as heterosexual males, are feeling their panties and are starting to come out of their closets. The pioneers of this latest move of the GOD of the King James Version Bible are revealing their homosexual proclivities on the Iyanla Show on September the 19th, 2015.

Once a person becomes a Christian, they have way too many hoops to jump through.

They have to beware of MEN OF GOD molesting their children
They have to beware of false teachers
They have to beware of money grubbers
They have to beware of Pastors on the Down Low
They have to beware of pastors addicted to porn
They have to beware of pastors who use AshleyMadison.cum
They have to beware of false prophets
They have to beware of pastors addicted to: crack, meth, mollies, weed, cocaine, 8-balls, etc.
They have to beware of pastors addicted to alcohol
They have to beware of pastors addicted to adultery
They have to beware of pastors hired by Satan to pastor Christian churches
They have to beware of false doctrines
They have to beware of the watered down gospel

And that is the short list!!!

There is a 'cult' in our churches, bent on perverting the gospel of Jesus Christ, with their own forms' of gospel.
May God have mercy on us.

This just goes to show the level of unprofessionalism in the Nigerian Police Force.

The whole NPF will need to be re-orientated, re-trained & re-evaluated to become more efficient & effective.

Zimbabwe is the only country in the world with the highest number of billionaires.

As the crisis brews over Syrian refugees trying to enter European countries, questions have been raised over why they are not heading to wealthy Gulf states closer to home.

Although those fleeing the Syrian crisis have for several years been crossing into Lebanon, Jordan and Turkey in huge numbers, entering other Arab states - especially in the Gulf - is far less straightforward.

Officially, Syrians can apply for a tourist visa or work permit in order to enter a Gulf state.

But the process is costly, and there is a widespread perception that many Gulf states have unwritten restrictions in place that make it hard for Syrians to be granted a visa in practice.

Most successful cases are Syrians already in Gulf states extending their stays, or those entering because they have family there.

For those with limited means, there is the added matter of the sheer physical distance between Syria and the Gulf.

Not welcome?

This comes as part of wider obstacles facing Syrians, who are required to obtain rarely granted visas to enter almost all Arab countries.

Without a visa, Syrians are not currently allowed to enter Arab countries except for Algeria, Mauritania, Sudan and Yemen.

The relative wealth and proximity to Syria of the states has led many - in both social and as well as traditional media - to question whether these states have more of a duty than Europe towards Syrians suffering from over four years of conflict and the emergence of jihadist groups in the country.

The Arabic hashtag #Welcoming_Syria's_refugees_is_a_Gulf_duty has been used more than 33,000 times on Twitter in the past week.

Users have posted powerful images to illustrate the plight of Syrian refugees, with photos of people drowned at sea, children being carried over barbed wire, or families sleeping rough.

A Facebook page called The Syrian Community in Denmark has shared a video showing migrants being allowed to enter Austria from Hungary, prompting one user to ask: "How did we flee from the region of our Muslim brethren, which should take more responsibility for us than a country they describe as infidels?"

Another user replied: "I swear to the Almighty God, it's the Arabs who are the infidels."

'Let them in!'

The story has also attracted the attention of regional press and political actors.

The Saudi daily Makkah Newspaper published a cartoon - widely shared on social media - that showed a man in traditional Gulf clothing looking out of a door with barbed wire around it and pointing at door with the EU flag on it.

"Why don't you let them in, you discourteous people?!" he says.

The commander of the opposition Free Syrian Army (FSA), Riyad al-Asaad, retweeted an image of refugees posted by a former Kuwaiti MP, Faisal al-Muslim, who had added the comment: "Oh countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council, these are innocent people and I swear they are most deserving of billions in aid and donations."

But despite the appeals from social media, Gulf states' position seems unlikely to shift in favour of Syrian refugees.

In terms of employment, the trend in most Gulf states, such as Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE is towards relying on migrant workers from South-East Asia and the Indian subcontinent, particularly for unskilled labour.

While non-Gulf Arabs do occupy positions in skilled mid-ranking jobs, for example in education and health, they are up against a "nationalisation" drive whereby the Saudi and Kuwaiti governments in particular are seeking to prioritise the employment of locals.

Non-native residents may also struggle to create stable lives in these countries as it is near impossible to gain nationality.

In 2012, Kuwait even announced an official strategy to reduce the number of foreign workers in the emirate by a million over 10 years

Well, so much for muslim brotherhood - other gulf states can't help their brothers, yet they are the first to tag the western countries 'infidels'.

This kind of lifestyle has been going on for many years...only that in the past few years it is now widely reported.
There's nothing new under the sun, especially in relations to 'some' nigerian female students.
