1) Understand that politicians are no one friends. 2) They don't like you that much. It's all about their own personal interest and they understand that you are gullible to support them 3)To give unbiased facts about intelligence agencies meddling into politics, then you need to understand the basis of their work. 4) There's nothing legal about intelligence agencies. They do good jobs in illegal ways. 5) The reason for their deployment can be political but there's a non political reason why they're been deployed. They're that friend that will bring out your secret to destroy you whenever they're called on. By the time they finally expose you, people who support you will be against you.
In short, keep off politics and do your own to vote. Don't go and die outside supporting anyone.
I'm not political, I'm not biased. I'm just overwhelmed with our political office holders who hold us unto ransom get more support from us and use we citizens against each other just to get sympathy.

lionel4power: Few weeks ago there was an argument about regional powers in Africa, the argument started with Ethiopia and Nigeria who has more military and political clout...
In international relations, a regional power is a state that has power within a geographic region. States which wield unrivalled power and influence within a region of the world possess regional hegemony.
Ethiopia just reinforced its regional hegemony. Before some of you finish reading this post, Ethiopian forces would have captured the Somali regional state.
_________ Ethiopia says it ordered army to enter Somali regional state to “restore order”. Witnesses in Jigjiga have confirmed dozens of military vehicles entering the regional capital Monday. It follows after days of rift between Somali regional leaders and the federal Govt. ---- BREAKING NEWS: #Ethiopia federal forces have tacticly retreated to the outskirts of #Jigjiga after clashes with local #Somali paramilitary forces.
They are now preparing to wage an all out war to retake the city and will most likely pillage everything in there way. ________- Ethiopia: Federal Forces have reportedly took over the security in the government buildings in Jigjiga, the capital of the Somali region.
UPDATE: President of #Somali regional state of #Ethiopia, Abdi Iley resigns on Monday evening hours after thousands of Ethiopian federal forces re-enter into #Jigjiga city, following three days of political dispute with the Federal Govt which left more than 50 pple dead. #Somalia. ______ In less than 2 days, they have taken a city filled to the brim with veteran Somali militias. oga your post on 10 African air force,u talk say naija GDP na $210bln, abeg who give you that figure |

The accident was said to have led to the deaths of at least 10 people and many others seriously injured. The tragic incident caused a huge traffic gridlock in the area as many gathered at the accident scene, thereby virtually blocking the highway.
The wounded victims were rushed to the hospital by emergency officials and the corpses of the dead, deposited in a mortuary.

Politics › Re: 2019: Who Will Be The PDP Presidential And Vice Presidential Candidates? by giles14(m): 12:06am On Aug 04, 2018 |
DonFreshmoney: Next month PDP will be having their presidential primaries to decide who will fly their ticket in the 2019 general elections. Previous week saw high profile defection of top politicians from the APC to the PDP; Three (3) Governors, senators and the senate president decamped. Although, yesterday NEC meeting by the PDP cleared the likes of Musa Kwankwanso (Kano), Bukola Saraki (Kwara) and Aminu Tambuwal (Sokoto) to contest for the presidential primaries. Let's look at the probable candidates for the positions.
PDP Presidential :
Sule Lamido: If loyalty to a party is to be a factor in picking the party ticket for the general elections, then look no further than the Godfather of Jigawa politics. He is among the G34 founding member of PDP in 1998. He is a protege of Aminu kano. He does not believe in Ahmadu bello kind of politics that we see in the north now. He is the first candidate to declare his intention to run for PDP ticket far back in 2016 during his EFCC court trials. He is popular in some states in the North such as Jigawa, Kano, Gombe, Bauchi, Sokoto. He is relatively unknown in north central and southern party t of the country.
Musa Kwankwaso: The Current senator, and former Governor is arguably the second strongest man in Northern politics just behind Buhari. His political clout and movement kwankwansiyya is a force In almost all the Northern states in Nigeria, he surprisingly came second during the APC presidential primary only behind the winner BUHARI. He is also a popular figure to the masses. But this large followership in the north does not transcend to the southern part. As many southeners see him as an ethnic bigot and religious fanatic like Buhari. This may not fetch him the required votes to defeat the incumbent.
Atiku Abubakar: The former vice president of Nigeria for 8 years (1999-2007) is a regular contestant for presidential elections since 2007 where he contested in the defunct ACN and came a distant third with about 3 million votes. He also contested for the PDP primaries with GeJ and lost in 2011, and then contested with Buhari in 2015 for the APC and came third behind Kwankwanso. He has the political structural and National Appeal to me win. His restructuring mantra resonates in the southern region. But his problem might be his inability to pull in the required 25% votes in the Northern part of the country as majority of the citizens see him as an elite and corrupt. His major support is from the Governor of Ekito state, Ayo fayose.
Aminu Makarfi: He is a former commissioner, senator and Governor of Kaduna state. He is also the founder of a popular political and civil group: the centre for peace, and conflict resolution. He was the former chairman of PDP caretaker committee during the crisis regarding the sheriff faction, and he brought peace and tranquillity to th opposition party. The question is does he have the delegates to win the primaries? Apart from states such as Kaduna, Kogi, plateau and Niger. He might find it hard to garner votes from the remaining northern states, plus he has little or no followership in the southern part of the country to help his presidential ambition.
Ibrahim Dankwambo: A professional accountant and the youngest presidential candidate running for PDP. If youth was to be a factor in getting the ticket, then look no further than Dakwambo. He has the backing of few PDP governors such as Okowa of Delta, Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa and Ayo Fayose of Ekiti state. But he is not a popular politician in the North, infact apart from his home state Gombe, It will be an herculean task getting votes in the middle belt and other core northern states. His governor friends and youths in NIGERIA can garner him necessary votes in the southern part. He is the only aspirant that doesn't have a corruption case on his neck. This can be a factor during campaigns for election.
Saminu Turaki: in terms of political experience, this Kebbi born politician can be said to be the least qualified. He is famously known as the former minister of special duties during GEJ regime. I don't think he stands a chance during the PDP primaries as he is relatively unknown and don't have the political network and support for his ambition. He is thought to be the candidate of Goodluck Jonathan.
Bukola Saraki: The 3rd powerful man in the country, the unofficial governor of Kwara state and the current senate president needs no introduction to the political landscape of the country. His political network, national appeal and grassroot support especially in the middle belt region is a factor in the race for the ticket. Although, he may find it hard to gain the votes of the core northern people who doesn't see him as one of them (yoruba name) and also his attack on the president/APC can count against him in the core north. As the senate president, and former governor. He certainly has lot of help from his former governor colleague and senators representing different constituency in Nigeria regarding the ticket. He is arguably the most popular politician in the opposition party, and was recently awarded the National leader of the party.
Aminu Tambuwal: The former speaker of the house of reps, and current Governor of Sokoto state is a political collosus in his own right. It is known that the sultan of Sokoto, Emir of Kano and the governor of Rivers state is tacitly supporting his ambition. He is the second youngest aspirant and is relatively popular in the northern region. He was famously touted as the presidential candidates of the APC before the emergence of buhari at the last minute. He is loved by the southern region as they do not regard him as an ethnic bigot.
Vice presidential:
Ayo Fayose: The outgoing governor is a force to reckon with in PDP, he is currently the chairman of PDP governor forum, he is regarded as the second in command after Nyesom Wike. His candidate got the National publicity secretary of the party during their recent National convention. Last year he offered himself to contest for the presidential ticket of the PDP. But many see that as a strategy to be picked for vice presidential slot. He was also thought to be the arrowhead of the National chairmanship position not going to JIMI Agbaje/south west due to his personal ambition. The VP ticket is zoned to the southern part, but south south region is out due to the chairmanship position coming from there. He is touted as Atiku candidate.
Ike Ekweremadu: The Current deputy senate president was the highest ranked member of the party and the National leader before the defection of Bukola Saraki. He is said to be jostling for the vice presidential slot for a while now. He is very popular among the governors, also with the ambition of his boss Bukola Saraki to be the presidential candidate. There might just be a union of Saraki/Ekweremadu candidature in the PDP. Moreover the position is zoned to the south east/west region.
Peter Obi: The former Governor of Anambra state is an astute and humble gentleman, his work during his reign as the Anambra state Governor still speaks for him till this day. He is th only vice presidential aspirant that doesn't have a corruption case hanging on his neck, his business acumen and erudity can be of benefit to the ticket with whoever he emerges with. Also, the thought of Igbo being a vice president of the country for the first time in this civilian dispensation will gain massive support for the party, of course with the hope of Igbo ruling the country very soon.
My prediction: Saraki/Ekweremadu Atiku/Fayose Kwankwaso/Peter Obi
What are your predictions? for me its atiku/peter obi saraki/ekweremadu to return to the senate while tambuwal /fayose move and control the HoR kwankwaso defence minister makarfi interior minister sule lamido minister for National development dankambo CBN governor. |
Health › Re: All You Need To Know About The Deadly Hepatitis B Virus! by giles14(m): 7:45pm On Aug 03, 2018 |
Amarabae: Stand up against hepatitis because it is a silent killer. 
. what is hepatitis? Hepatitis is simply the inflammation of the liver. It can result to acute illness or Chronicle illness (that can result in cirrhosis ie hardening of the liver, liver cancer, liver failure, & untimely death). . . An awareness of the functions of the liver can hint you on what could go wrong when your liver is affected. In simple terms, the Liver Processes digested food from the intestine Controls the level of fats, amino acids, and glucose in the blood, Combats infection Neutralizes and destroys toxins Stores iron., vitamins, and other essential elements Etc. . . DO YOU KNOW... That Hepatitis B Virus is responsible for about 60% of liver cancer cases in the developing countries, That 1 in every random 10 persons is Hepatitis B virus positive. Do you know which of the next 10 persons you see is HBV positive ? . Out of the estimated 170million population of Nigeria, HBSAg prevalence is 11%. (that is to say about 17-34 million of Nigerians have Hepatitis B). . Total death from HBV is 3 -7 million ( ie so far, up to 7 million have died from HBV) . Annual death is 200,000 (approximately 200,000 people die of HBV every year) I BET YOU DON'T KNOW, HBV is 100 times more infectious than HIV and 10 times more infectious than HCV. You don't know Hepatitis B virus survives outside the body for at least 7 days. . . HOW CAN IT BE TRANSMITTED? It could be 1. Vertical transmission (Mother to child) 2. Horizontal transmission (one host to the other ) 3. through Contaminated needless, 4. Sexual contact, 5. Blood transfusion. 6. health care work incidence. . . WHO AND WHO ARE AT RISK OF CHRONIC HB ? 1. Children from parents who are HBV positive 2. Household contact of infected persons 3. Health care and public safety workers 4.infants born to infected mothers 5. Dirty sexual lifestyle 6. Drug use/ abuse 7. Having MULTIPLE SEX PARTNERS 8. Men having sex with men 9. Sexual contact with infected person . .
WHAT ARE THE SIGNS & SYMPTOMS OF Hepatitis B HEPATITIS B is a SILENT KILLER. Most times, hepatitis B virus is ASYMPTOMATIC. This is the greatest fear about HBV. At the early stage it doesn't give you any symptoms at all. Though some people may have malaise, anorexia, & fatigue. The first obvious symptom is often signs of significant liver disease, At this point the liver has been damaged to some extent, your eyes turn yellow due to excessive accumulation of bilirubin, your abdomen swells as well as your legs, you feel like your head is falling out, and if there's no prompt expert intervention, the patient may have less than 3 months until the liver shuts down and death comes,
. IT IS PREVENTABLE.!!! You can get immunized against this silent killer. Hepatitis B vaccine confers 95% immunity against Hepatitis B virus. walk down to any govt hospital and ask them about the immunization to know if the one around you are doing it. But before the immunization,you should go for the test to know your status.
.
. the safe precautionary measures against this deadly illness must not be ignored. . 1. Avoid multiple sex partners, 2. Avoid unprotected sex for unmarried people 3. Don't share sharps 4. Stop patronizing the pedicure service hawkers 5. Have your own clipper or only patronize barbers that observe the correct instrument treatment measures 6. For health workers. Always use your safety box 7. Don't recap needles. Etc . . what if someone gets diagnosed with hepatitis B after a laboratory test , what should he or she do? If you happen to be diagnosed with the deadly virus after going for a test, please rush down to the hospital for medical help and assistance. Don't patronize all these herbal commodities, Don't put your liver to further risk, go to the hospital. . . BE SINCERE TO YOUR SELF NOW. DO YOU KNOW YOUR HEPATITIS STATUS ? IF YES, PLEASE GET IMMUNIZED OR SEEK FOR EXPERT MANAGEMENT (DEPENDING ON YOUR STATUS). IF NO. GET TESTED TODAYII . #SayNOtoHepatitis #GetTestedToday #BeImmunizedAgainstIt. . Oriaku Loves you all  pls what do you mean by horizontal transmission and and household contact of infected person |
Politics › Re: Buhari Approves N73bn Road Project For Lagos, Okays Dangote As Contractor by giles14(m): 9:32pm On Aug 02, 2018 |
kahal29: The Federal Executive Council, FEC, on Wednesday approved N72.9billion for the reconstruction of the road from Apapa to the toll gate on Lagos-Ibadan expressway in Lagos State.
Minister of Works, Power and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, made this known to State house Correspondents in Abuja after the weekly cabinet meeting presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari.
Fashola said the decision was taken to provide a long term solution to the road, which had suffered a lot of gridlock in recent times.
“The Ministry of Power, Works and Housing secured approval for the reconstruction of the Creek Road Tincan Island-Beach Land right through to Oworoshoki to the toll gate end of the Lagos-Ibadan expressway for the full reconstruction of that road which was built around 1975 as part of our first port expansion undertaken then in the 70s.
“That road was intended to evacuate cargo out of Lagos without running through the spine of the city.
“The road is now in some state of disrepair and Council has approved its reconstruction at the cost of N72.9 billion,” he said.
According to the minister, the work will be done using a Public-Private Partnership PPP model.
He named Dangote Group as the constructing firm for the road project, saying that the N72.9 billion for the execution of the project would be recovered through the funding credit tax policy of government.
The minister further said when fully constructed, the road will have 10 lanes, with five on both sides, with a total of 270.8 linear kilometres, including drainage, rehabilitation of some of the bridges and interchanges.
“First, it will be done through PPP model. The constructing company will be the Dangote group. It will be financing that construction to the tune of N72.9 billion as certified by PPP.
“Another instructive thing to note is that this is the first full reconstruction of that road since it was constructed at about 1975.
“All previous efforts had been to repair damaged sections. So, it is going all the way to reconstruct the road.
“The third thing to note is that the entire construction is that it involves procurement of 27.8 kilometres made up of 10 lanes – five lanes on both sides – three on the main carriage way, two on service lanes.
“So, essentially, you are constructing about 79.8 linear kilometres and that also include drainage and use of extensive cement work and rehabilitation of bridges.
“We expect contractors to move to site. This is our own long term solution to the problem contributed by the road congestion there.
“This will provide enduring solution to what is currently being experienced by commuters,” he added.

Popular Cable News Network reporter, Isha Sesay, has announced her exit from the organisation after spending 13 years.
Sesay broke the news on her Twitter handle, @IamIshaSesay on Wednesday, “it’s really happening, folks!! After more than a decade behind the desk with those three red letters… I HAVE LEFT CNN.”
Speaking on the reason for her exit in an interview with Whatweseeee, Sesay said, “It’s an exciting time for me — and a nerve-wracking one,” she says. “I’m writing a book about the Chibok girls, it’s being released in May 2019.

She also revealed her frustration with Western media, which is focused on US President Trump, “it’s all so Trump-focused,” she explains. “He sucked all of the oxygen out of the room. The media is following that lead to the exclusion of almost everything else, in a meaningful way. For me, personally, it’s not what I want to spend all my time doing.”
“After a while, I want to do more coverage of the Ebola outbreak, of the elections in Liberia, or any number of things that are happening. I’m ready to take control of what I’m talking about,” Sesay added.
Lots of her followers have been reacting to the news of her exit, with many wishing her well in her future endeavours.
Sesay is a British born journalist of Sierra Leonean descent.
