President Goodluck Jonathan extends heartfelt condolences
to the people and Government of Kano State over the
heinous attack on the Central Mosque in Kano, earlier
today.
He commiserates with all the families who lost their loved
ones. The President calls on relief agencies and medical
personnel to deploy every possible effort to assist the
injured, and the general public to heed the call for the
donation of blood by the hospitals where the injured are
being treated.
The President has further directed the security agencies to
launch a full-scale investigation and to leave no stone
unturned until all agents of terror undermining the right
of every citizen to life and dignity, are tracked down and
brought to justice.
The President reaffirms that terrorism in all its forms and
manifestation is a despicable and unjustifiable threat to
our society. He reiterates the determination of the
government to continue to take every step to put an end to
the reprehensible acts of all groups and persons involved
in acts of terrorism.
President Jonathan calls on all Nigerians not to despair in
this moment of great trial in our nation’s history but to
remain united to confront the common enemy.
The President is confident that no terrorist act against
fellow citizens will destroy the Nigerian spirit to remain
positive, resolute and united in the quest for lasting peace
and security in the country.
He appeals to all Nigerians to remain vigilant and
cooperate actively with our security agencies to win the on-
going war against terror.

Having caught myself more than once in some of this, I decided to come up few things People & especially Singles Do When They're Bored or Alone.

1. Eat excessively.

2. Take a selfie with different clothes on.

3. Shave their privy parts (popularly known as punnany, as the case may be).

4. Clean their fans and other electronics for the first time in weeks...

5. They sing aloud. Most times, Off-key!

Dont ask me, Ask ladies! #,hands in mouth #

6. Visit friends and neighbours over nothing important.

7. Stare at the light bulb and keep staring hoping NEPA will understand. Iffa hear!

8. Login to Social Networks like Nairaland, and start view other people's profile. Some decides to start bashing you and damning your thread.
DON'T BLAME THEM. LONELINESS KNOWS THEM BY NAME...says West life.

9. Start playing with their pets at home. Some even go make their dogs up...come dey laff the dog as if the dog understand wetin dey happen... Nawa o!

10. Excessive Watching of TV...Homevideo and Telemundo fans. How is it going?

11. Listen to music...Guys and music sha...

12. Read a book...
Nerds/introverts be like:

13. Call a friend just to say HI.

If a girl calls you just to say HI. Don't be too quick to misinterprete her, abeg, to avoid heart attack.
She might just be bored and needs to talk...

14. Take a walk. I call this Sending Yourself On A Fool's Errand...

17. Play Video games. How should I forget this?

18. Stare endlessly at the mirror. I guess, they are like, "why is my nose flat?" "Why my buttt no big small?", "If not for this my tribal marks enh...!"

19. Play with parts of their body...trying to euphemize my words here...

As dem talk, A lonely man is the devil's workshop...

Most young people self service the most when they're bored and lonely. #FACT#


ADVICE: The cure to loneliness is don't be lonely. Get involved in something worthwhile. For all who just passed out from NYSC, you might be going through this, haha... start from somewhere!

A million dollar job will come but keep your hands busy!
After working for three years now, I can deduce the effect of work to a man...
IT ADDS VALUE TO HUMAN LIFE! The pay, notwithstanding.

Loneliness is the mother to all bad habits, don't be lonely.

with the election coming and Jonathan who spends money anyhow on campaign, Nigeria is in big trouble

Trouble too small... Na gbege we dey!!!

The Nigerian economy’s dependence on oil export earnings
is the country’s most poorly kept secret. Since the
discovery of crude oil in commercial quantities in Oloibiri
in 1956, the economy’s growth pattern has mirrored the
global market for oil prices.
Between October 1973 and march 1974, when OPEC
announced an oil embargo against a number of western
countries for their support for Israel during the Six-Day
War, oil prices reached US$12 per barrel (pb) from US
$3pb. With oil accounting for a growing share of export
earnings and government revenue, the country’s problem
at this point was not “money but how to spend it”.
By 1979, crude oil prices nudged US$39.50pb as panic over
the consequence of the new theocracy in Iran for the oil
market drove prices beyond legitimate concerns over the
supply implications of the Iranian Revolution.
By 1980, however, the new Nigerian narrative was of
“austerity”, as oil prices fell for two decades thereafter.
This was also the period when the economy was reported
by a then president as being beyond the pale of economic
logic.
The 1990 oil price shock was much shorter-lived. It lasted
for as long as its main trigger: the Iraqi invasion of
Kuwait. By 2003, however, oil prices first rose above US
$30pb (from an average of around US$25pb in the
preceding two decades); went through a succession of
increases, only to peak at US$147.30pb in July of 2008.
Until 2003, the Nigerian economy’s boom and burst cycles
was predictable using the oil price outlook. But for the first
time, a Nigerian government took steps to break this cycle
of dependence. Through a slew of new legislations and rule
changes, including the fiscal stability act and the oil price-
based fiscal rule, the government then sort to save any
excess in the oil price above a given budget benchmark in
a rainy day fund – the Excess Crude Account (ECA).
Thus, not only did the current government inherit an ECA
with a healthy balance (US$60bn), it also benefitted from
its own energy crisis. Barring the dip in the market
between July 2008 and December of the same year, oil
prices have remained elevated since 2003. Indeed, as at
July this year, it was selling for US$115pb.
The new “austerity measures” described by the
Coordinating Minister for the Economy responds to the
bottom falling out of the oil market. Over the four months
since July, oil price has fallen by about 30 per cent.
The immediate economic consequences of this development
are obvious. Given the economy’s dependence on oil
earnings, falling prices would hurt the current account
balance (largely the difference between our earnings on
exports and spending on imports), reduce accretions to the
external reserve (from which the central bank spends in
support of the naira), and by pushing up import costs (we
are an import-dependent economy) drive up inflation.
Arguably, the biggest impact of lower oil earnings is on
government’s ability to meet its financial obligations. At
this point, some may point out that if the rhetoric of the
Jonathan administration’s “transformation agenda” had
any element of truth in it, we ought not to be as
vulnerable to external shocks as have been other Nigerian
administrations.
But this would be to cavil pointlessly. For the strongest
point of the administration has been two-fold: the ease
with which it has seen its way through the savings from
the 2003 reforms to the public expenditure management
framework; and its failure to save from the high oil prices
that were a feature of much of the last five years.
Given this scenario, the current crisis was one foretold. The
bigger worry is how well this government may manage it.
We have highlighted, in a lengthy article, some of the bad
habits governments (federal and states) need to purge
themselves of to lessen the effect of the current hardship.

The Inspector General of Police, Suleiman Abba, on
Wednesday declared that the Speaker of the House of
Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal, no longer occupies his
seat after defecting from the ruling Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP, to All Progressives Congress, APC.
The police boss made the blunt comments as he appeared
before the House committee investigating the invasion of
the National Assembly by police last Thursday.
The committee invited the IG to explain the barricade of
National Assembly which led to chaos as some lawmakers
scaled the fence to gain entrance.
At the meeting, Mr. Abba pointedly refused to address Mr.
Tambuwal as speaker, triggering angry responses from
members of the committee.
The IG referred to the speaker as “Alhaji Tambuwal”.
When confronted by lawmakers, Mr. Abba said he would
not comment further on the case since it is before a court.
The hearing was adjourned abruptly as Mr. Abba stood his
ground.
The police chief accused Mr. Tambuwal of leading a band
of “thugs” to invade the National Assembly and assault
police officers on duty.
He said security was strengthened around the National
Assembly on Thursday to prevent likely invasion of the
premises by political thugs.
Mr. Abba said there was credible information that the
National Assembly was going to be penetrated.
“The police high command directed the Commissioner of
Police, FCT, to strengthen the security arrangement in the
assembly, the police headquarters and the INEC
headquarters,” he said.
“In the process of safeguarding the security of the National
Assembly on the 20th of November, we collaborated with
the National Assembly Sergeant-at-Arm according to laid
down procedures.
“Members were being asked to identify themselves before
they could be allowed into the premises.
“The invasion of the National Assembly by large number of
suspected thugs caused a reinforcement at the second gate.
“We saw how security at that gate was compromised and
we are investigating the issue of teargas thrown at people,’’
Mr. Abba said.
The police chief said officers were “physically beaten,
disobeyed and many other things”.
He told the lawmakers his decision to order a siege on the
assembly was in support of democracy.
“From the day I was appointed acting Inspector General of
Police, in my maiden speech I made a pledge that policing
all over the world has gone beyond the issue of arresting
suspected criminals, investigating and prosecuting
offenders. Policing worldwide and Nigeria inclusive, which
I pledge to be part of, now include the support of the
development of democracy,” he said.
Mr. Abba continued: “I want to state that that pledge was
not just for the words, I meant it. Since then all my effort
has been in that direction in addition to other
responsibility on my shoulder.
“2015 elections are around the corner and political
activities and politicking has heightened. As a result of that,
I discussed with my colleagues and told them that we
should make all efforts to make our election credible and
peaceful. In the last meeting we had in two weeks ago, I
told them to be focused on efforts that will enable the
police control the activities of political thugs and to mop up
arms.
“I told them to do everything within the limit of the
provision of the law to ensure that people do not take laws
into their hands, so that we can have credible and safe
conduct of the 2015 elections.”
He said the invasion of the assembly was partly in
response to an earlier threat by the APC to cause mayhem
in Abuja.
“On the 19th of November, members of a political party
including their leaders and a serving Governor conducted a
rally at the Eagle square. They proceeded in a procession to
the headquarters of the Nigeria Police and made
uncomplimentary statements among which was the fact
that what they were doing that afternoon was just a tip of
the iceberg of what they will be doing in subsequent days,”
he said.
“They promised to come back on the 20th to continue the
procession with the blockage of the police headquarters,
and even promising to extend to other areas including the
National Assembly and the headquarters of INEC.
“Bearing in mind what happened in the parliament in
Burkina Faso on 30th October 2014, security was
strengthened and it included that the operational
procedures of the security of the National Assembly, must
be complied with. That is why the arrangement of self-
identification were made for members to identify
themselves, and that went around and some of the
principal officers of the National Assembly complied and
that went on.
“Until when that was disrupted on the arrival of Alhaji
Aminu Tambuwal. With the disruption of the arrangement
by quite a number of suspected thugs, the second gate was
not only closed but reinforcement.
He said the teargas fired by police merely “exploded”.
“And to answer to the teargas, yes. Unfortunately, the tear
gas exploded outside the gate and that is being
investigated, the circumstances is being investigated. We
saw how security arrangement at that gate was
compromised and we saw how people we suspect to be
thugs crossed the fence and that resulted in the
unfortunate incident were tear gas exploded,” the police
chief said.

The Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, has said the Peoples
Democratic Party,PDP, will never produce a governor in
Lagos, Nigeria’s commercial capital.
The state of over nine million people has consistently been
ruled by the opposition since the return of democracy to
the country in 1999.

The PDP has however intensify its plan to win over the
state from the the All Progressives Congress in the
forthcoming elections.

But speaking as the chief launcher of the autobiography of
the former President of the Court of Appeal, Mustapha
Akanbi, at the Sheraton Hotel in Abuja on Wednesday, Mr.
Akiolu said Lagos would continue to be under the ruling
All Progressive Congress, APC.

“Recently, I told Bode George, (Musiliu) Koro and (Adeseye)
Ogunlewe that “Look at me o! You will never win Lagos.
God will give us another APC governor”.

The monarch, who elicited a lot of excitement from the
audience, also stated that he became the Oba of Lagos
through divine intervention and that he did not spend a
dime.

”After I was retired, some justices of the Supreme court,
including Belgore, Uwais and Akanbi came to me and told
me that they intend to go and see the president, but I told
them with due respect that, that is where God wants me to
be.

“One of them, Wali held my hand, and prayed, saying that
within one year, you will see what God will do in your life,
and exactly a year later, my father, the late Oba, joined his
ancestors.

”Governor Tinubu came and said don’t give anyone any
money to be Oba, if it is yours, it will surely come and that
is how I became the Oba, even though President
(Olusegun) Obasanjo was against me,” the Oba said.

Mr. Obasanjo, who was also seated at the high table with
the monarch, simply laughed.
