The way this man interprets his roles in movies, you will be marvelled. Make him an "Igwe" in a movie, he would perform like an "Igwe". Make him a corporate executive, he would act like an MD of a company. Tell him to play the role of a typical Nigerian politician in a movie, he would excel. Exceptionally talented actor. May God grant you more strength of health of mind and body. Dementia and Alzeimah diseases are something else. It makes a complete man loose his senses and being.

Na the person wey come third in that governorship election that would be declared the winner by the Supreme court.

Magnus Abe is already celebrating.

Even if it is not acted, they are abusing her rights as a human being. A right to privacy. Very annoying video.

Do we even know what privacy is all about in Nigeria? Bringing her out in the public to make those comments by the pastor constituted intrusion of privacy. It is all about making things theatrical in Nigeria to entertain the audience. People's privacy should be respected. But this hardly happens in Nigeria. Even as a care giver abroad, you must be sensitive and respectful of the privacy of the people you are providing personal care to

The acting seemed so obvious. But honestly, Nigerians are brainwashed people. I am not moved by all these actions - packed movies from our pastors. Every fine girl in Nigeria must be possessed by marine spirit?

You can't function properly. It will be extremely difficult for you to function. People are respected in organisations in Nigeria based on their pay level and not necessarily on positions. When an external auditor or regulator sees the salary structure of the company, they ranked it to determine the most important people based on earnings. Earnings is a big motivation. Forget all these people that will tell you that earnings doesn't matter . That what matters is the experience you get. Bro, earnings among work colleagues matters....it brings more respect and bargaining power if you want to move to other organisations or apply for the most sought after visas

She go soon get husband. Just dey carry am go village make she dey understand Ogwasiukwu and Ideato small small. Soon, footballers and musicians will ask for his hands in marriage.

Why was Ganduje not in court today? It seems that these politicians do get pre informations on the outcome of court cases. The ones they are sure that will favour them, they will appear in court but the ones they knew that the outcome would be against them, you won't see them.

Indeed, no one is ugly......just an opportunity for one to let his or her beauty shines through.

Na the Kano Governor I pity pass.....the evidence against him seems overwhelming.....I doubt if his lawyer, Wale Olanipekun, could do any magic for him but hey! this is Nigeria, anything could happen.

Even fraud is also talking.....Nigerian governors that don't differentiate between state coffers and their personal bank accounts. Politicians are the least of people to comment on this Betty Edu issue. They do worse.

I didn't even spend up to 20k during my own first child. We got all children's things during my wedding. Lots of baby gifts ranging from bed, sets of feeding bottles, cartons of pampers, baby carseater, Player and bicycles. After the birth, those coming to see the new born came with Lots of things. I was at the peak of my banking career then, so office people came with their own loads of baby things, friends, alma matre, church societies and town union. At least, I visited those before me to present gifts to them , so, most came to repay back the gifts I gave them during their's .

Kai, ALJAZEERA, my favorite news channel (406) - so much love their documentaries and real-life story telling.

......And she must have celebrated the day she got the offer letter from the bank. Depression is just too wicked. Mental health and strength is very necessary. Rest in peace, young lady. Your support system seemed to have failed you. Please, speak up if you are passing through any form of stress or mental imbalance. A friend whose wife was in Canada, called that she had broken down from hectic school work, assignments and no support system to cope with and needed to come back home. Omo, my guy refused but I had to talk to him, which he later agreed.

She had to defer her studies to return back to Nigeria this last Christmas pending when she is mentally strong to continue with her studies...... this was someone that had not been in school for the past 11 years, selling baby clothing online and knew no jack again about studies. Going to school with her two kids was so overwhelming, which I understood, but the husband was looking at the money he had committed in the program. Thank God, good wisdom prevailed. Sometimes, it is good to speak up about your challenges and difficulties so that help could come. Don't mind those that may not like your decision or action. Mental health is real!

Oshimen should have used this opportunity to put up a decent and thought provoking response than this his gutter response. Yes, he has the right to feel angry but he shouldn't have just responded in that manner. He could still have insulted the man in a manner that would make the man more envious. PR and press releases are important when you reach certain levels.

I heard that this masterstroke was from Wike. Wike will be used to bring many PDP Politicians to APC. Emeka Ihedioha, Osita Chidoka, Seriake Dickson, Dele Momodu and Banky are coming to APC in few months time.

That's because most engineering grads leave the country for masters abroad. They mostly will not come back due to higher standard of living in those countries.

However, alot of my now retired professors at OAU finished from Urbana, Stanford, Yale e.t.c in the 1960s -1970s. They taught us in the early 2000s with outdated books and text as well. That means the Nigerian corruption also kills talent.

A particular course, Engineering physics was set up in the era of Obasanjo in the late 1970, so that the graduates from the program can help build Nigerian nuclear power stations. Some of the graduate from that program ended up being lecturers at OAU and fell to the Nigerian system as well. One of the Drs then use to do rentals as side hustle to add up to his salary. If the guy had japa-ed back in the 1980s after graduation, his case might have been different, and he could have been rubbing shoulders with the likes of Barth Nnaji.

Very apt! The sad reality of Nigeria! You are right with that " Engineering Physics " explanation. It was set up by OBJ, of which Shagari took it further to set up the four Federal Universities of Technology in Owerri, Akure, Bauchi and Minna to give effect to that Obasanjo's program. Sadly, the dream died the usual Nigeria way.

80 percent of these multinational companies here in Nigeria have foreign MDs

Mostly Indians, Lebanese and Greek. Most multinational FMCG companies likes to work with Indians and people from the Middle East than using Nigerians.

My worry is, at the end, not much impact is felt in terms of research and production, which is the end product of any education, academic and research institutions all over the world. Our educational system and its products should be responsive to the yearnings and developmental needs of the country. Greater percentage of the first class are already seeking for further studies outside the country, where they will later reside permanently. David Akanmu won't even do his NYSC before he secures scholarships to top schools in US.

It happens.....I do experience that sometimes but I am not an extravagant person. In my house, there is no food waste. If you try it, na me and you that day. Some of my relatives that comes for holidays are guilty of this......you will go to the kitchen after each meal, you will see some left over foods on the plate. I had to ask them whether they didn't know the quantity they could finish? Same with bread, you will see some leftover slices. It's now a rule......Once you come, you will be read the rules and regulations. People are hungry and are on the streets. There should not be any waste. However, once in a while, I indulge myself in what I like to eat, wear, visit or to provide comfort to myself without considering anything. At least, I have to enjoy my hardwork.

Being gay may have helped him attained this height. If you are gay and have stuff in your head, you will have an accelerated promotion and favours in a work place. Those that openly identified themselves as "gay" in the western countries are always protected and granted rights which "normal" people don't get

You will see how she go package herself like a pious Hajia to look innocent

Ole, Oloju palaba!

E be like say, you sabi their format

That is how they behave - you will see them going to court in a very conservative clothing attire to look innocent.

See all the female corrupt civil servants or public office holders being brought to court, they will tie headscarf or hijab to look conservative, and yet, when the looting was going on, they were balling hard, dressed in their normal way.

My friend cashed out big time from his property situated close to the church. At the zenith of the church's activities, the area was usually a beehive of activities. He remodelled his house and rented them to some foreign visitors, especially white South Africans and Germans, coming to the church for one program or the other at a humongous fees. Now the place is desolate and no more foreign visitors. He doesn't want to rent to ordinary people.

What the poor passes through in Nigeria is so depressing. Some of these market women, risks it all with their toddlers to go and buy their " markets " in different places as theycan'tafford a nanny or house girl. I saw one, backing her child trying to climb the back of a trailer loaded with their goods. There is no child care, so they take their infants along with them through the hot sun, navigating through difficult parts to make a living. Looking at those kids that just died, its pathetic. Children that should be at home, being cared for.... so sad.

The mansion for me - the Engineer that handled the finishing tried - simple finishing without heavy "make up". It looks like some of the mansions and castles you see in Greece or Rome.

Always Boeing, they should be more careful with their products, we don't hear about issues with products from Airbus and other manufacturers

If Boeing was from another country, US would have placed a ban on the aircraft manufacturer, with their usual hypocrisy of safety concerns. Over the last five years, major crashes have been Boeing products. They had the gut to crippled the Russian jet and passengers plane manufacturer with safety concerns. Same fate await the Chinese as they continued to test run their own made aircraft, which has not gone into full commercial production. They nearly grounded the Brazilian manufacturer, Embraer, but their aircraft seems more popular within South America. They just have only Airbus, which is owned by EU, mainly France and Germany and Bombardier, a Canadian owned manufacturer to contend with. They didn't allow Japan to manufacture passenger planes because of the defeat of Japan in the second world war. If Japan had been allowed to produce passengers plane, both Airbus and Boeing would be trailing behind the Japanese made planes.

Come to federal secreteriate and see how this girl carry her shoulder, you will think she's the president of Africa...

Looking at her alone, you will know. Yet, some ignorant people will be here salivating about how beautiful women dominated this regime. The so called pretty women are mostly the least qualified to hold public office. They will loot to continue to maintain their lifestyles and "prettiness ". Sadly, especially here on nairaland, people "worship " pretty women. Some will excuse this action by Betty because she fits into their awkward narrative.

See excuses......." it will be retired with all receipts and evidence." Is it difficult to procure fake receipts to retire advance in Nigeria? They can eat the money and get useless documents as evidence and receipts and submit them to retire the N585m. Fear Nigerian politicians.....at least she needs the millions to keep buying her expensive weavons and gold jewelries. Corruption in Nigeria is just too nauseating.

That will never happen.....just bury the idea

Make I hear say any Nigerian referee dey there. Our standards are terribly low in every area. Same with male football.....CAF hardly reason Nigerian referees. Is it with this thuggery that happens every weekend in our local leaques? Just watch the South African league and you will see the difference between decency and crudism; modernity and backwardness. The crowds that attends matches in South African league makes the league interesting. Majority of those that enters stadium to watch Nigerian league are people on the streets, looking for avenue to while away time.

Women in their 70s too dey club? Na wa o

For UK, you will see them o, especially in a candle light clubs. I don't know if I should call that place a " club". It looked like a meeting joint, where people came to have fun, smoke, drink and discuss issues. It wasn't much of a club for young people. They were older people trying to have fun in their own way, doing what younger people does. Majority of them were not less than 40 years old.

Around 2009, I wanted to come down from a danfo bus on my way home from work, with my suit and laptop bag, the conductor told the driver to slow down that "pastor" wanted to come down. Even me, I was laughing as he said it. Everyone in the bus turned to see who the " pastor " was. Then, I was working in with an investment bank in island. Now, within my neighbourhood, some see me as a G-boy since I work from home and don't usually go out in the morning, except to go and do something for a client.
