I'm not sure you read the article thoroughly.

I'm kinda confused on this economy team thingy, we have the FEC, then economy team, to do what exactly?? What would be their subject of discuss?

We keep going round in circles.

Third Schedule of the 1999 Constitution
H - National Economic Council
18. The National Economic Council shall comprise the following members -
(a) the Vice-President who shall be the Chairman;
(b) the Governor of each State of the Federation; and
(c) the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria established under the Central Bank of Nigeria Decree 1991 or any enactment replacing that Decree.
19. The National Economic Council shall have power to advise the President concerning the economic affairs of the Federation, and in particular on measures necessary for the co-ordination of the economic planning efforts or economic programmes of the various Governments of the Federation.

pendusky:
Economic Team? comprises of who and who? SAN head of Economic Team? Wow!

This Govt is a joke!

FunnyNation hope they will soon call you to head Asorock kitchen

If you're familiar with the Nigerian constitution, you'd know that the Vice President is the constitutional head of the National Economic Council.

Sincerely it never ceases to amaze me the hight of hypocrisy among the adherents of Islam.
Despite the so called pious, holier than thou attitude etc, behind the whole lot of this is hypocrisy. A typical moslem thinks more of sex than any thing else. This is because the Quran and Mohammed promise the men more virgins in their heaven when they die or fight the cause of Allah.
This is why you have suicide bombers anxiously looking forward to go have a swell time in aljannah.
Without the Hijab on most ladies the height of perverseness among some of the men is such that the mere sight of a lady like the one in question is enough to make the Mallam or Imam discharge in his trouser, its so bad my brother. No self control what so ever.

That is why they do not pray together. Imagine a Lady in your front raising the ass as above. I bet you there would be calamity in that mosque.

Why do they lack self control. That is the hall mark of a man. I distiguish us from lower Animals like Dogs.

Lol. The excessive craze about sex in the world of Islam is sickening, to say the least.

The ignorance and hypocrisy on this thread stinks!

I personally know non-muslim ladies who wear the hijab every once in a while. It's a fashion item.

As for the so-called ones who want to lecture us on morality. Some 150 years ago, your great-grandmothers were probably sashaying around the streets in your village stark n@ked.

At the end of the day, it's only just the flesh.

akike:
You enjoy sounding stup.id

And what exactly is the point of your comment? You just want to be seen, ko? Ok, seen! Now go get a life.

Ah! These people are confused o.

Correct girl! Flaunt what you've got. The hypocrites can take to Oshiomhole's advice. The hijab has always been a fashion item!

Now waiting for Adeboye and his goons to be ingenious with the billions they make every now and then and ease the pain they often inflict on those plying the Lagos-Ibadan expressway.

BIAFRANFLAG:
She doesn't have to SPELL IT OUT, slowpoke!

If she wasn't thinking highly of herself, she wouldn't have let us know about her insignificant and useless VIRGINITY.

BEING A VIRGINE DOES NOT STOP YOU FROM BEING A FUCKING ASSHOLE.

You are obviously disturbed.

BIAFRANFLAG:
I commend you for not trading your body for a job.


You must accept the sack letter in good FAITH.

But let me remind you that YOU VIRGINITY MEANS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, YOUR VIRGINITY IS USELESS. Don't make the mistake of thinking that you being a VIRGIN makes you better than none VIRGINS.

You can be a virgin and still be an ASSHOLE.

Genevieve Nnaji is not a virgin and she's got a girl child at her tender age, she's doing well and she's one of the most recognizable faces in NOLLYWOOD INDUSTRY.

There are many businesswomen who are not virgins, they are morally sound and wealthy.


So my dear, this is 21century, stop thinking that virginity is a big deal.

can you tell me how much virgins are being paid for remaing a virgin.


Your virginity is an insignificant and worthless thing.

However, you've got the right to remain or not to remain a virgin before marriage but don't make The mistake of thinking that virginity makes you a better person. The likes of me will not marry any woman without getting her pregnant first.

TO HELL WITH VIRGINITY!

People like you have a problem. It's called hypocrisy. Where in the post did she say her virginity makes her better than others? Forseeing the backlash from you lot, she jejely stated that her stance on virginity till marriage has nothing to do with any holier-than-thou attitude but that it's a family tradition. If you have a good advice, give. But don't come lecturing about what isn't.

So Shagari is my birthday mate? Happy birthday to us!

I'm starting to like this guy.

Holly Molly, So you think all churches believe in the tithes thingy?? Oga, expand your knowledge.

This thread is 6 pages gone, nothing learnt, I wasn't entertained, what else....

Mention a church that doesn't squeeze its members for money and I promise I'll take a one-week break from NL.

opeaceo:
Suddenly, the Catholic body has become a mouth piece for all other Christians?? You never talk true.

For that thread, because someone from a tribe rapes a minor, it doesn't necessarily mean all others from the tribes are rapist and paedophiles.

What are you saying? Are you saying not all churches ask for tithes and offerings?

Your god is against LGBT and if what in your bible is to be believed, he committed genocide against a people just to prove that point. There are numerous examples like that. So what are you saying?

opeaceo:
Here we go again, the "Catholicism", it seems you're indebted to them or vice versa??

S, you should know better.

50% of Christians in the world are Catholics. So while a backyard denomination in an African corner is just as "deadly" - if not more so, the Catholic Church has the broader reach. Shay you now grab?

BTW, I hope you saw the thread on the frontpage about the pastor who is now asking his church members to sow seeds in dollars. Religion is one huge comic show!

opeaceo:
We are speaking in light of the Zika issue??

It is so easy for you to throw up the "rules" of Catholicism at our faces (my sincere apologies to any Catholic reading this), how about the stance of the Orthodox churches?

"As the Zika virus spreads in Latin America, Catholic leaders are warning women against using contraceptives or having abortions, even as health officials in some countries are advising women not to get pregnant because of the risk of birth defects.

...

'Contraceptives are not a solution,'
said Bishop Leonardo Ulrich Steiner ,
the secretary general of the National
Council of Bishops of Brazil, and an
auxiliary bishop of Brasília, in an
interview. 'There is not a single
change in the church’s position.' "

opeaceo:
When did the "church" say no to contraceptives?? A link would suffice.

So it is only our religion that doesn't tolerate LGBT peeps, do I need to remind you that some LGBT practice Christianity??

The tithes they collect, was it collected at gun point??

How does our religion fuel war and genocides??

Discussing our "God" won't take us anywhere, as I said earlier, we do this all the time, come online, say A, B, C and D, in the end, look back at the post, you gain nothing, you loose nothing, time and energy becomes wasted and we do that all year round.


When did the "church" say no to contraceptives??

" The Catholic Church believes that artificial
contraception is sinful and immoral and may
frustrate a divine plan to bring a new life into
the world. Instead of using birth control
methods such as the pill, IUDs, diaphragms,
and condoms, Catholics can use Natural Family
Planning (NFP) techniques."

Does it in anyway threaten you? The peace of the country?? Your pocket

I believe it is wrong to eat groundnut on Fridays, does that add a link to your bank account?? Does it cure you're sickness?? Does it make the country a better place??

An abused wife decides to stick to her marriage because her pastor says it's for better for worse and ultimately has her life taken away from her by the abusive husband and you think that doesn't affect me?

Couples refuse to use contraceptives or engage in abortion because their religion says not to and as a result they flood the society with kids beyond their capacity and you think that doesn't affect me?

Your religion preaches hate against unbelievers and you think that doesn't threaten me?

Your pastor was in church celebrating a rigged election and you think I shouldn't react to that?

C'mon!

opeaceo:
Haaan, it is our belief it our lives, your belief your life, after all said and done, energy expended, time taken, nobody shifts a notch, nobody learns, nobody get entertained, then why the stress?

Your "belief" proselytizes, agressively. Saying it's "your belief your life" is like saying it's "Boko Haram's belief and it's members' lives". It affects all of us, directly!

There's zika virus out there with its devastating effect on foetuses and new-borns. Your church is preaching against using contraceptives and abortion to tackle the disaster and you are still wondering why we keep talking about your religion?

You religion does not tolerate LGBT people and you still wonder why we won't keep mute?

Your religion taxes people, reducing their purchasing power with its attendant effect on the economy and you are still wondering?

Your religion fuels wars and genocides and you are still asking why we keep discussing your god?

We'll stop when people see your religion for what it is.

opeaceo:
Prolly I'm missing something here, The theist believe in a Supreme being, the atheist says otherwise. Theres no restriction whatsoever for calling their Supreme being, you don't have one, then why expend energy any time discussing what you don't believe in??

Joblessness at its height, too much effing time to waste.

Because our lives, our living, our future are at stake if we don't. There are two major competitive religions out there that seek to control everything - relationships, finance, scientific and technological progress, education, health ... everything! And here you are wondering why atheists talk about your beliefs and its innuendos? How's that different from Malaysian moslems who took non-muslims to court for using the word "Allah" to refer to their supreme deity and got a judgement in their favour?

Just yesterday, all the nightmares, inner-conflict, self-doubt I suffered as a kid those years back as a result of church-brainwashing and all that came flooding back. And ... I'm just thankful that I'm out of it. Do you think I'd open my korokoro eyes and allow my kids to go through the same torture? Mbanu!

ronald4lif:
Perhaps Christians are the most loquacious and silly sets of believers who argues sheepishly without any facts but scriptural passages?

Thank you. Some Sundays back, I was at this church service where a preacher who was delivering a sermon on something about light and glory went on about how god, after creating the earth, created the sun by summoning light. Just like that - from nothing, something! Hard evidence tells us that without the sun's energy, the earth wouldn't even be here. How come the xtian god now created his own earth before the sun? The preacher was using the sun - the centre of our solar system - to sugarcoat his silly teachings. And the congregants devoured everything, sheepishly. My stomach churned. But then, it is what it is. The world is a beautifully crazy place.

Enjoyable read.

I actually relocated to beautiful Saturn

That's lovely. I was in Saturn not too long ago and it's a very wonderful place. Enjoy your stay!

Fraudsters everywhere.

One thing I love about northerners is their graduates hardly roam about the streets doing one menial for a living.
There's almost, always a job waiting for them...like how it used to be...you know right!?

You must be living on Jupiter.

How come the butcher who amputated someone's hand wasn't mentioned in the write-up. He should be arrested and prosecuted too. He deserves some quality jail time.

Adele - Love in the Dark.

What could be more stupid than this? The emphasis now should be on expanding and re-orientating the police force, not increasing the number of military personnel in the country. What are those guys actually doing sef? Seriously? Even 100,000 is too much. Their idleness is why they have all the time on their hands to bully the same paople who pay their salaries. You want to contain a protest, you deploy soldiers. Wetin concern soldier concern civilian protest? I keep saying it, the best way forward in this country is zero-military. We won't be the first to try it and we certainly won't be the last.

Donpressman:
Do you talk before you think? Ekiti is just a state in a federation called Nigeria. How can fayose create jobs when the federation economy is this bad. Allocation reduced so much that a months allocation can't pay a month salary. Tell me a state creating jobs? Its just like a goal keeper who promised not to concede a goal. But what can you do if your defence is porous? You sure will concede. Look at the bigger picture bro!

Nna, Fayose is not creating jobs, he pays salaries once every two months, and he comes on air every now and then to lambast the government at the centre. What has he done to alleviate his people's suffering? I bet you're one of those calling for Aregbe's head due to his failure to perform his job effectively. Fayose is now in the same shoes as Aregbe and you're here making excuses for him. What steps has he taken to make Ekiti State less reliant on the centre in the long term? Planting trees...

You asked about states creating jobs. Lagos, Anambra, Ogun, Kaduna, Ebonyi... Or are these not states in Nigeria?

Even Ayade of Cross River is out with his own futuristic plan. While the Bashorun of Afao is busy dancing etighi in Uyo.

And for you to say Ekiti is "just a state in a federation" shows how ignorant you are about how our political system works.

Fayose just admitted to his own incompetence. Here is a man who promised jobs and transformational development during his campaigns two years ago. In saner climes, he'll, by now, be on his way out of office. But this is Nigeria ...

Planting just trees... No wonder he has all the time in the world to make noise. Talk about entering one chance.
