"Fire guts..." is a wrong headline as it depicts razing. "Fire incident at Shekarau's..." should have been ideal as title. Op note.

Why is Ambode running from pillar to post, if your first tenure is good, your popularity should win you the primaries and if your party is saying no 2nd term for you, port to another camp and leverage on your good works but unfortunately you have none.

The people will remember how u turned lagos to a dirty state with your visionless scape

The people will remember how you suddenly increased land use charge

How u started several projects without completion in sight.

Lagos roads are so terrible that we spend valuable time in traffic

Your lack the grass root touch of governance.

Roads in Lagos have never been more terrible than they are now. Even expressways have gullies, and their service lanes are even more terrible. Ikeja is a glorified state capital.

Whatever this talk is all about, can Governor Ambode explain why roads in several parts of Lagos are fast deteriorating, including within the State capital Ikeja? Why is Allen avenue, the most popular street in Nigeria riddled with pot holes, just like the adjoining Toyin and often flooded Opebi axis? Ikeja, asides Alausa remains uglier than Surulere, which Fashola beautified. Correct me if I am wrong.

Aboki must always be Aboki, See stool behind him but he chose to show his abokirism.

I also do this when I am looking for a book that low on the shelf. It has nothing to do with showmanship or being an Aboki. Grow up, people!

they should tax dstv too .chase all this south Africans out and replace them with niaja alternative

What have Nigerian companies been able to manage to World class standards? The only Nigerian owned Telco is at the most average. Replace them with Naija alternatives my foot.

After Leventis, Kingsway and UTC stores went under in this country due to our poor economy, which indigenous Nigerian supermarkets measured up to scratch before Shoprite came?

We've got to be careful!

In fact anyone found guilty of immigrating illegally should be brought back to the local gvt and jailed asap, but what of those illegal Fulani and Lebanese migrant etc they should be jailed or deported too

You know the Northerners migrate to Southern, Western and Eastern Nigeria rather than overseas, so it is easy to say "illegal immigrants", most of whom come from Southern and other parts of Nigeria are on their own.

Whilst the President of Ghana told the German leader to grant his countrymen immigrant visas ours asked that they be deported. What a disappointing stance. Even the German delegation must have been shocked. Given Germany's stance towards immigration, they would have considered a request similar to the one the Ghanaian President had made, esp as they need Nigeria's assistance somehow anyway.

1.They held bilateral meetings where a deal or deal was signed and you weren't at the meeting to know exactly what the president told her and what she told the president.
2. Like I said previously, she had another stop over in Lagos State and only planned on spending just a day in Nigeria, I hope you didn't expect the president should have invited her to the state house living room and played FIFA all day long.
3.Togo,Ghana,Benin,Liberia etc are all sovereign countries and as West African allies we have one thing or the other to offer each other.
4.Even if she(Theresa May) stopped Over in Nigeria, There are 54 countries in Africa and she chose 3 countries to visit including Nigeria that is For you to know how respected Nigeria is all around the world.
5.He held a joint press conference with Angela Merkel today, Abi she is not important in the world too..


Normally, I wouldn't reply you because I know you guys are really in pains at the other side, but get una time today..

Please contact me if you need a rope when Buhari wins next year!!

Even today's press conference was all about Merkel, as all the questions were directed to her which she dealt with expertly. I didn't like the way President Buhari answered the question on illegal migration and what Nigeria was going to help with that. Well, he appears to be learning fast on these matters recently though.

Monicaville:
I am not a supporter of Buhari, but i have a feeling that the Financial Times reporter who wrote that Trump Called Buhari lifeless was bribed by PDP to write that stuff. Yes,foreign journalists carry out hatchet jobs as well if the price is right. The way all this respected foreign leaders keep fraternising with Bubu speak volume about how much they respect him. Although, that doesnt mean his administration is improving the lives of common Nigerians and I am still not voting him even if he invites Fela from the grave.

The two world leaders that recently visited Nigeria visited other African countries same time, so it is not a case of wanting to fraternise with Buhari. It is normal for heads of states to visit countries from which they wish to earn benefits :it is not about respecting the person leading those countries. Just to make it clear.

'Lifeless' was not in reference to Buhari's health, but his engagement level. His level of interaction and awareness. Trump was only saying that our President looked a bit dull, a bit laid back. Maybe timid.Nothing else. You cannot deny he looks fit enough.

I must say you are well informed and came with a good arguement, unlike the other riffrafs attacking me. But I still insist wole Soyinka going this far would only continue to demarket us as Yoruba, just when they are calling us cowards and two faced people prof is also adding this

This is not about Yoruba my friend! It is about the truth! Stop this backwardness.

iammo:
Yoruba destroying yorubas since the days of awolowo and akintola , Yoruba ronu, its funny how tinubu an ally of MKO is teaming up with same Buhari that got the juiciest apointement under abacha, while throwing jabs at obasanjo. Same obasanjo that gave back power to shagari a man from sokoto through democracy and Buhari and co(abacha and Ibb) dethroned through coup de tat, same obasanjo that came back home to confront abacha on MKO's denial to power when Buhari conveniently choose to keep quiet and become PTDF chairman, same obasanjo that was imprisoned while wole Soyinka was in exile. Professor Soyinka, northern youth are mocking you, they see you as someone who disrespect his own to promote others, no matter what they never disrespect their own, they may disagree but never ridicule their own

This is not about tribe or sentiments. Look at the criticism objectively. Your likes are the issues threatening Nigeria's survival as a nation. Wole Soyinka is too gifted intellectually to tow the line your propose.

Praise God!

God always responds to prayer. It might take time, but His answer surely comes.

And no secret is ever kept, that He would not eventually uncover as long as it be for good.

For inexplicable reasons Iwobi was left out of our crucial game against Argentina, just as he was left out of the Iceland game. Could it be because his Uncle Jay Jay Okocha (On Supersport) criticised the wrong way he was used against Croatia? Well, this is my personal opinion and could be wrong. For me, Iwobi would have held our midfield when we so badly needed to keep the ball against the Argentines. But we live to fight another day.

Abeg, make una no go distract these boys o! Allow them some privacy to enable them focus properly on the task at hand.

Sometimes he over reacts. The red card he gave Nani at Old Trafford during a Champions League match against Real Madrid was totally uncalled for. It left football fans across the world bewildered.

Has no one here heard about "premature ageing"? Anyway, I feel embarrassed each time our goalie gets referred to as " the 21 year old Nigerian keeper" How about you?

EzendiEgo1:


Rubbish

Why you guys da criticise the man because he lost 2.0 to croatian.

Is it only Nigeria that lost their opening match

Argentina draw still do you guys hear or see their citizens criticise them on social media.

Morocco Egypt they all lost their opening games.

Brazil draw still yet not criticism, Peru lost do you hear any criticisms.

Very big NO

So why is Nigeria case different

In every match there will be a winner and a loser not because Nigeria berated una expectations down shouldn't give you guys the audacity to criticise them.

Everyday we need a good leaders but we haven't changed the way we react or show our stupidity on social media.

Jim Beglin and John Dumelo and so many others criticise us because we provided the opportunity for them to do so.

Nigerians are reacting the way they are because they know we could have done far better had we done the right things. Clearly, we threw away an opportunity to win a match in which our opponents gave us a lot more respect than we deserved.

"Concerning the Super Eagles of Nigeria, we declare that the heavens will favour their cause, that God will lift up the light of His countenance upon them, teach their hands to war, bless their honest effort, grant them his wisdom, grace, and give them victory after victory, that Nigeria may achieve good success and so we may lift our heads up yet again as a nation..."

Pastor Adefarasin says, "bless their honest effort." Now, the Super Eagles made no effort. They joked and circled around, and got their fair reward.

In the first place, we should stop lying about the age of our goalkeeper! He is not 19! He's closer to 30 than 20. Then our coach should shun pride by speaking English when he's asked questions in English instead of resorting to German. In summary, Nigeria should be real. We should be serious! We're currently fooling around: no game plan, no discipline, no commitment. Without these qualities you can never get results! Watch the tapes of the '94 Eagles, and come back here.

Loyalty, Respect. From these come fidelity. A man who sees these gets rest of mind, and has time to love you.

Festus Keyamo, senior advocate of Nigeria (SAN), does not believe the figures of the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) on increase in poverty under the current administration President Mohammadu Buhari.



San FestusKeyamo, who is spokesman of the re-election of President Muhammadu Buhari, disclosed this in a chat with a Interviewer.

Asked why he thought Buhari deserved re-election in light of reports on growing poverty and the weak economy, Keyamo said, “Where does the National Bureau of Statistics get its figures from? I don’t believe those statistics!”Nigerian are becoming richer under Buhari the NBS are liars.

Statistics from the NBS show that unemployment has been on the increase under Buhari, millions of people lost their jobs from 2015 till date.

According to the bureau, 18.80 percent where unemployed in the third quarter of 2017, compared to the 9.90 percent in the third quarter of 2015.

Keyamo expressed optimism that Buhari would be re-elected in 2019, saying the president will instil a different political culture in the country before he retires and he is better than any Leader Nigeria has seen.

“He (Buhari) needs time to instil that culture different from what we have learnt government is all about,” he said.

Let’s be honest, most young people of our generation grew up to know only the PDP system, which is – and was – only about money.”

The Buhari re-election campaign spokesman said unlike the PDP “whose oxygen is money”, Buhari did not need federal funds to clinch his re-election, saying his supporters would be happy to sell their possessions and go hungry for his re-election.

He said Buhari also needed to consolidate his anti-corruption war and deal a final blow on insecurity, describing insinuations that the president was sponsoring herdsmen as “satanic and idiotic.”

He also spoke on the president’s reference to Nigerian youths as “lazy”; allegations that he abandoned the defendant in the Ozubulu church killings to join Buhari; and what he thought his former mentor and leading human rights lawyer, Gani Fawehimi (SAN), would have done with Buhari’s government.

When asked if he would support full disclosure of the health status of all the candidates in the 2019 campaign, Keyamo said, “I agree that candidates should declare their health status. But if somebody is sick and is well and now discloses that he is well now, fine. He (Buhari) is ready to go; he is fit to go. Abacha was not sick at all, no history; yet he slumped and died.”

He also expressed support for presidential debate and President Buhari will be ready than ever.

https://www.1960ng.com/2018/06/13/i-dont-believe-nbs-figures-says-keyamo-on-growing-poverty-under-buhari/

No, Mr. Keyamo, Abacha was visibly ill several weeks before he died. Check his up-close images on several photographs taken during this period. There were even intense speculations on his suspected ailment during this time. The incident leading to his eventual death was the decisive one. May his soul rest in peace.

Once Nigeria awarded a contract for the rebuilding of the Lagos-Ibadan-Shagamu-Benin Expressway, for a staggering N306bn. Contract was not executed, and the then minister for Works was not questioned. The lagos-Ota expressway was a death trap littered with gullies, a President who then used the road to his farm, especially on his regular weekend retreats from Abuja, chose to travel by helicopter in order to avoid the road rather than press for its renovation. A serving governor under him, building the now completed overhead bridge at Sango Ota left it in in a total mess, making it a horrendous nightmare for drivers and pedestrians alike, not a whimper in condemnation was heard from this popular leader and social critic. At least, he had his helicopter. Under him a serving Minister of power, Bola Ige was assassinated, and his killers were not found and no serious attempts to bring them to book. Political leaders, Harry Marshall, Dokubo and co were murdered without trace. Governors stole at will, including especially from oil rich states, and were endorsed as godfathers. Planes crashed at will, our airspace was one of the most unsafe in the world! All these and more, and you ask the likes of Eedris Abdulkarim not to talk about it? Our youths lack awareness indeed, and are the major trouble with Nigeria. They would rather beat the route to Canada, and Europe through the deserts and Mediterranean than ask what brought them and their dear country here. When I visit our dear leader from my Abeokuta base with a delegation of concerned middle aged youths soon, I hope he would give us a listening ear, and address some of the concerns I have shared above. In God we will continue to trust.

The greatest undoing of the USA '94 Eagles was the gang up against Rashidi Yekini, which meant he was isolated and starved of passes from his strike partner Amokachi, and then, George Finidi. We ended up scoring goals from Yekini (inevitably), Finidi, Amokachi, Amuneke: everyone wanted to score and prove that Yekini was not the "messiah" Oliseh stopped giving the telegraphic passes Yekini made hay with as well. Fans would recall how Yekini walked straight to the dressing room when he was substituted against Greece. The guy was frustrated! In the end, Italy easily sent us parking as the house was already divided against itself. May disunity not bedevil this team.

I had exactly this same problem . I visited so many experts who come on radio to discuss auto issue but they only speak grammar. Thank God I was able to meet a mechanic that collected only 8k to fix a problem that nearly made me go for another engine. He scanned the car. Got all the codes and brought out his other laptop and clicked on application that brought out the diagram of my car . As he was looking at it he was writing out his report as if he is a medical doctor. At the end he discovered my caterlist , temperature sensor, the two oxygen sensor are bad and also he changed the plugs. . That was how my car remained calm and all problems disappeared till date. I call him car doctor. May God bless Mr Adebayo the mechanic

Please, can I have this fellow's contact details, or yours? Please, reach me on 08180005412. Thanks in anticipation.
