I really do not get why you seem so worked up over nothing. Kano city has over 4 million people and has slums as well as the concentrated ancient part of the city but yet has some areas like real city as seen on that picture.

Abagworo:
Kano is an ancient city but yet looks more like a city to me than everything we have in Southeast and South-south except Port Harcourt. Take a look at the few tall buildings and their quality.

There's nothing ratchet about what was described , she has a right to chose not to shake anyone she doesn't want to

Senators who stayed away from Tuesday’s inauguration of the national assembly have finally been sworn in by the new senate president, Bukola Saraki. There was drama when Remi, wife of Bola Tinubu, refused to shake hands with Saraki after her swearing-in on Wednesday morning, leaving his hand hanging and muttering some words to the senate president in a low tone.

Saraki had on Tuesday outwitted Tinubu-backed candidate, Ahmad Lawan, in the race for the nation’s No. 3 position. However, other newly sworn-in senators‎ shook hands with the senate president. They were all absent at the inauguration as the ruling party had called for an emergency meeting simultaneously and could not be sworn in as required by law before they could take their seats in the red chamber. Lawan, who was the preferred APC candidate, and George Akume, who was the preferred deputy, were both sworn in on Wednesday morning.

Twenty-six other senators-elect were also sworn in‎. Some of them include APC senators Abdullahi Adamu (Nasarawa) Bukar Abba Ibrahim (Yobe), Gbenga Ashafa (Lagos), Olusola Adeyeye (Osun), Isiaka Adeleke (Osun), and Shehu Sani (Kaduna). The senate thereafter went into a closed-session at 10:58 am. APC had, in a press statement on Tuesday evening, instructed the absentee senators to report for the traditional swearing-in.

Hon. Oseloka Henry Obaze, Secretary to the Government has separated from the services of the Anambra state government effective Monday, June 8, 2015.

In a statement, Hon. Obaze said this is in accordance with the understanding reached earlier with His Excellency, Chief (Dr) Willie Obiano, governor of Anambra state.

"This morning I attended my last State Executive Council meeting where I had the opportunity to formally thank Governor Willie Obiano, His Excellency, the Deputy Governor, Dr. Nkem Okeke and my Executive Council colleagues and formally bid them goodbye. I thanked the Governor for his confidence and for the opportunity to serve in his administration. I have been witness to the selfless sacrifices by some who wish to see our state turned around. I salute them. I depart knowing that Anambra is set on the path to greatness", Hon. Obaze said.

Continuing, the SSG said it was an honour to serve as he had served with honesty, diligence, unalloyed loyalty and indeed, to the best of his abilities. He thanked the people of Anambra state for their graciousness, and his immediate staff for their uncommon support during his three years as the Secretary to the Anambra State Government.

"I will be returning to private life", Hon. Obaze concluded wishing all his colleagues and well wishers well.

Hon. Oseloka Henry Obaze will be succeeded by Prof. Solo Osita Chukwulobelu, former Commissioner for Budget and Economic Planning.

saraki is even more yoruba than say a yoruba man from ekiti.
ilorin is an outpost of old oyo, people oilorin speak undiluted yoruba language.

Bukola father is an opportunist that is not an indigene of ilorin, he came into ilorin to learn arabic from Ogun state.

Yes saraki is 100% a yoruba man

Deluxii:
[s] I was even amazed at most people saying Kwarans are not yoruba I can't imagine kwara people reading this and they won't laugh at you guys. Back to the matter it is the the zoning of the political sphere that made kwara state to fall under North Central but ethnically and historically Kwara belong to the Yoruba lineage and nothing can never ever change that not even the geo-political zone. This is a fact, I have kwarans as colleagues, even as inlaws and I believe we all have kwara indigenes around us you just walk up to anyone of them I tell them they are not from Yoruba heritage lolzz! I bet you won't like the kind of reply they will give to you immediately just because they hate it when people disassociate them from Yoruba Kingdom. This is a fact just ask any kwarans around you and you will know how far lolzz![/s]

Omololu007:

bodeloja:
U need to take a chill pill, u sound like a mad person.

Chibokgame:
I thought this write up would stop Saraki from holding on as the Senate president,
But since it didn't,
Then this bulletin is better save for history students rather than nairaland visitors.

JackBaueress1:
Don't my them my Prince charming. There's nothing like payback time. The southwest has nothing to lose as the region is well represented. abi is bukola saraki not a Yoruba man again?

solid3:
Next thread please.

olabukola:
Is this happening in my life time? Somebody tell me its a dream oooo before I commit something ugly now. Chaiii

investnow2013:
We must also be patient with Obiano as He fulfill his promises on dualization of Anambra-State Major Roads!.Single-Lane roads have been a ''disaster'' in Anambra-State!. Although it started a long time ago by previous regimes in Anambra-State which continued during Peter Obi's regime!

VirginFinder:
Turning Saraki into a Yoruba is like turning you into a woman.

Our argument is about making you ibos realise that we Yorubas are way above you in Nigeria politics.
We want you to feel miserable.
Can ibos from the SE and SS ever occupy the no 2 and 3 positions respectively? Never!!!!!!!!

ibos have graduated from being deputy to aboki to being deputy to Yoruba. That's very commendable, I must say.

tonychristopher:
Saraki is the surname and its fulani the man said he is fulani ..amaechi said he is igbo

So why the confusion

uduokirika1:

Nwanne this is not an issue of Pete Obi or Ngige it is a general issue, infact I will even blame Ngige the more for wetting our appetites on the new 'mirage' of stadium at Amansea. For 3 years he kept reminding us of this project through various govt sponsored jingles on radio and T.v yet nothing was on ground for its fruition. I still recall taking the risk on my Dad's motorcycle all the way from Nnewi to Amansea to see the level of the project. To my utter disappointment nothing I repeat NOTHING was in place not even a sign-post signifying a construction site.

I still believe had Ngige started that project Peter Obi definitely will have no excuse than to complete it just like he did to ALL of the roads Ngige quickly awarded when it became obvious he would be sacked by the Appeal Court and while Peter Obi was delivering the road he was telling everyone who cared to listen that those roads were his. Who cares!!

Note: Peter Obi never abandoned any project started by Ngige he completed them. The only project he abandoned was the moving of Anambra state University to Alor by Ngige!!!!!!!!!!

So like I said earlier all previous governors are all responsible for our lack of a standard football stadium!!!!!!!!!!!

VirginFinder:
You are a dullard!

Amaechi is an ibo name while Saraki is a Yoruba name.

Tinubu/APC lost, NOT Yorubas!!

No 2 & 3 is very very okay!!
Osinbajo is holding a very strategic position! No story!!

Go and read my previous thread!!!
