The train is moving up North - from Taraba, the thing fit reach Adamawa

By this time next year, there wont be any candidate from any party for the presidential election. The moral to contest against BAT would be extremely low and unmotivating. Wike, na you do this one. You told PDP say na you go kill them las, las.

I foresee Sowere as the only potential candidate to slug it with BAT. Atiku and Obi may likely fizzle out.

BAT/Wike combo no be for here o! - destruction and decimation from within

I agreed.

One could still raise kids abroad but Nigeria's environment has a way of making one to raise and all round kids.

My people in US do send their children to be enrolled in some prestigious catholic schools in Nigeria.

One is currently in my house, attending one of the Jesuit colleges in Nigeria - He would move to boarding when he gets to JSS 3

His parents in Houston are happy about their decision, one of which they want him to have Nigerian friends, class mates and build a good social networks with some Nigerians.

The religious aspect of it is also a factor and the ability of the kids to connect to our village and his root. So far, he is bonding very well and adapting fast. The below quote from MI is the goal

"He revealed that he envisions a balanced upbringing for his future kids — one that merges Nigerian cultural roots with global exposure.[i][/i]"

Me wey don join APC, tey tey, as part of national youth campaign team.

Find where the money and food are and follow. No be me love Nigeria pass. If another party takes power, I will find way to join and the trend would continue.

No allow politicians and politics stress you out. Find a way to get close to the cookie jar. I follow them come this Nigeria. I can't be by the side why some people will keep enjoying the spoils of the country.

By 2031, all Southern states governors would have decamped to APC. This has been planned tey tey. Atiku would just get tired and fizzle out. BAT would definitely groom a northern successor in 2027 and definitely not Atiku. Nuhu Ribadu will definitely be in the front of the queue to succed BAT

Paul Biya is holding Cameron for blokos. See Biya that peacefully succeeded Ahmadou Ahijou in 1982 is not letting go of the presidency.

I remembered when this Raja of a guy took office. There was wide jubilation across Madagascar. He is now an outcast. Madagascar is a conglomerate of Asians, Indians, Arabs and black Africans, mixed races, with sprinkle of whites, originally from Portugal, Spain and France. The ethnic composition is diversified

Prayer for new Nigeria

Tell your colleagues politicians to sit up. I always have this inner doubt about the efficacy of prayers to solve national problems. Countries should work towards developing their States and leave God alone.

Sadly, all the little open spaces within the vicinity of the cathedral have been turned into another "Oyinbo" market, with traders selling all categories of wares. This should be a tourist attraction but Nigeria's environment and our decorum of puts tourists away.

Defections of the opposition politicians didn't happen like this under Buhari.

This looks like an insider job, even by the own account of the Nigerian military. Ambush, sometimes, means that the enemy has gotten information about your movement. Imagine using drones to destroy the Nigerian military hardware. These guys are going more sophisticated. Honestly, the way this war is going, I don't expect any Nigerian army to be anywhere outside Borno state. 95% of the rank and files of the armed forces should be deployed to the war zone. Many soldiers are in other parts of the country doing nothing.

Good one from Oyo State. I don't know why civil servants don't want to retire to give room for upcoming graduates. This issue of experience is not tenable again. Most of them at 60 don't do any meaningful work at the office. Same applies to university lecturers. If there are well-established succession plan, you don't need the old ones in their 60s to mentor in coming workers.

This Nwabali keeps feeling that he is untouchable - The coach should start testing other keepers so that he would sit up

He keeps making useless mistakes.

Professor Maurice Iwu and Professor Mahmoud Yakubu are in the same class

If you know, you know

Rest in Peace Sir!

I thought about him recently.

Akintola Williams, Gamaliel Onosode, Michael Omolayole, Ernest Shonekan

Has the last of the boardroom gurus of that era gone?

Let me include others: Felix Ohiwere of Nigerian Breweries, Arthur Mbanefo, Bunmi Oni - They were the corporate gurus of post independence Nigeria

These men made me to look for a career in corporate Nigeria. I read their profiles and got more motivated in pursuing a career in accounting and management.

Oh my God! One of my role models in corporate Nigeria.

RIP Sir - You impacted me positively with wisdom and courage on few occasions that I was opportune to be with you.

This guy has a strong grip on the entire country, especially on their armed forces.

Was Obi present in the meeting?

It seems Obi is viewing ADC now with one kind eye 👁

You should have said "young Nigerian entrepreneurs" instead of the " young Igbo entrepreneurs" used in the description?

Don't go there with the hope of getting a job or applying to do small menial jobs. VV visa doesn't guarantee work in schegen economic area. You will just regret wasting your time and money for nothing.

Lets be truthful to ourselves - the Nigerian state gave us free education!!!

Most of us paid next to nothing throughout the university years and still travelled abroad with the knowledge acquired from Nigeria to excel even further in our new places abroad. Schooling abroad is not cheap, even for the citizens.

It is well. But these pastors and churches should not take advantage of the desperation on the side of our sisters to get married. The women are always too vulnerable and exposed to extortion by pastors, all in the name of crusade and prayer for husband. The working class and well-to-do among them are the most at risk of being milked. I had seen it couple of times. A young lady in one of the firms I consulted told me how one of the pastors kept demanding for money because he was aware that she was earning well until her senses came back

Penguin2:
What is happening to the Anglican Church is evidence of what can happen when you give up on standards.

First, they accepted the so called ordination of women as priests.

Then they accepted the ordination of gays.

Then they accepted the consecration of women as bishops.

And, as is characteristic with the devil, they now want to make a woman the Archbishop of Catenbury.

This is why they all will never lace the shoe of the Holy Roman Catholic Church. It has remained conservative to its Apostolic standards to avoid this kind of rubbish.

That’s why I was angry that Pope Francis was advocating such rubbish for the Catholic Church. Thank God we survived him. May something like him never happen to the church again.

Bro, don't "chest-beat" at all about the Catholic Church. I am a staunch Catholic. Note that the Catholic Church is not immuned from the "onslaught" the mother Church is undergoing in the West. The late Pope John Paul 11, said it that, "the hopes of the church is in Africa". He foresaw the dilution of Christian doctrine in the west and the possibility of decline of the church in the west. There are lots of reformists within the hierarchy of the Catholic Church and these reformists could pull a surprise on the church with their reformists agenda.

So, let's continue to pray for the mother church so that the gate of hell shall not prevail against her. As societies evolves, rules also evolve. It may be a question of when and not if the Catholic Church would eventually reform itself.

The former FCT Minister under Buhari, Muhammad Bello should be ashamed of himself. The worst FCT Minister in the history of Nigeria. The fact that Buhari left him in the office for complete 8 year was even more baffling. That man should point one thing he did in FCT. Incompetence was ingrained in him and Buhari didn't even bother. Until now, people never knew that an FCT Minister could be this active and effective. Give it to Wike, abeg. His footprints are everywhere in Port Harcourt.

People are not seeing the bigger picture

If Jonathan is coming, he is coming at the behest of APC to destabilize the ADC

Bayo and APC knows what they are doing. They may be working hand- in- hand with Jonathan

APC needs a strong PDP to checkmate the ADC

They should permanently fix that road - this is one of the busiest in the country and it is in deplorable condition.

People would travel through that road to the East, as Christmas approaches - Umahi and his team should ensure that all the bad spots are fixed.

THROWBACK; "Leaders of Tomorrow - Are They Truly The Leaders Today"

Some of them might have turned out to be leaders in their respective fields. Leadership is not just about political Leadership. People have turned out to be leaders in the corporate world, entrepreneurship, public service and other human endeavours

The ones at Idi-araba, close to LUTH have association and ID card. I have seen it multiple times on that road and the beggars proudly displays their ID cards on their necks. The ID card I saw showed the person's name, state of origin, ID card number, zone and the ailments the person is suffering from.

Imma624:
I'm currently facing this although I am a fresh graduate. Three weeks after sign out, I'm tired already and feeling bored

Just three weeks?? Some are already on their second year and no show. I feel sorry for any recent graduate in Nigeria. This is the worst time to be unemployed and looking for job in Nigeria. The job market outlook is very depressing. Notwithstanding, keep pushing.! Good luck!

Unemployment

This is very devastating if you don't have any social support or any support system and responsibilities are staring you in the face.

This house is normal of a typical upcoming guy's house in Nigeria. What I am seeing there doesn't ooze luxury at all. This is the barest minimum standard. OP doesn't know what luxury is or he is just being sensational.

Where was Reno when Sowere was giving Wike fire throughout last week? I expected Reno to attack Sowere in defense of Wike but the guy was no where to be found.

The Taliban should change course and follow the dictates of the West. Trust me, the regime would be recognised and invited to address the UN general assembly. But if following the dictates of the West would guarantee your prosperity, why not follow? The defeated Japan and Germany in the WWII followed the dictates of the victorious Western powers and are better for it.

I did not even understand the whole relationship of the parties involved - English is not my major
