The heading is deliberately mischievous and is cheap blackmail. The aide said the economy is doing better THAN IMF PREDICTIONS.

Professional wailers at work.

I don't trust this woman. As many have said, she portrays BH members as people involved in a 'play kidnapping' that went bad. If they really wanted to release them why didn't they just bring the 50 girls to a place and call their 'mama' to come and get them?

After April 2014 kidnap of the Chibok girls they still killed thousands of people mercilessly!

No woman on the Team? Women no get time!

"He said the economy created terrorism, following the government’s inability to create employment opportunities for the over 80 million youths in the country."

That is not true Emir Sanusi. Northeast Nigeria is not the only poor region in the world. Boko Haram is an terrorist ideology that thrives well under poverty.

The same with the Taliban in Afghanistan.

fatiuabdulmalik:
why must we provoke one another? The problem with us is that we fail to recognise and respect our differences.
why must we start problems we can't curtail? imaging how Christians would feel if Jesus is being insulted, though no serious Muslim would do that because, Jesus was our noble Prophet and it would amount to a great sin should any one insult him.

If you insult Jesus Christ, no Christian will kill you and you KNOW IT! We would probably shake our heads in pity at your ignorance and pray that you see the light.

The spirit at work in Christianity is just different from that at work in Islam. That is the simple explanation.

Which Gbajabiamila?
The one who betrayed his Yoruba sister to make Tambuwal speaker?
He is a corruptly padded legisLOOTER and representaTHIEF

Fortunately, not everyone sees things through the ethnic lenses through which you obviously see them.

No one should hail and praise the governor of any state because most, if not all the schools, are privately owned schools.

When I analyzed the performance of schools in States in Nigeria, using the WAEC 2015 average aggregate of schools, the findings are shown below:

Of the 50 top school average performance, schools in 17 states made the list.


1st-Edo state with 6 schools among the 50 (1st because it has 3 schools among top 10)

2nd- Abuja with 6 schools among the 50 (2nd because it has 2 schools among the top 10)

3rd- Lagos with 6 schools among the 50 (3rd because it has 5 schools among top 30)

4th-Abia with 6 schools among the 50 (4th because it has 4 schools among top 30)

5th-Anambra with 6 schools among the 50 (5th because it has 1 school among top 30)

6th-Delta with 3 schools among the 50

Kaduna, Oyo, Ogun, Kwara States have 2 schools each in top 50

Enugu, Ebonyi, Imo, Benue and Ekiti have 1 school each.

I bet some ministers would run from BBC hard talk as if from Shekau!
Ibi lile lati n mo Akoni.

Fashola is still my man! We have seen what he did in Lagos in 8years. It is no fluke. So his pedigree still speaks for him.

He needs to step up; no doubt.

redcap:
I just hope and pray it's in commercial quantity, just anything that will help speed up the disintegration of this country.

Disintegration- No; Restructuring- Yes.

saiNDAvengers:
This charge and bail lawyer has lost relevance.....


Can't he understand

We can suspect where this hate speech against Falana is coming from. This one I quoted calls himself saiNDAvengers. #militants.

thunder74:
I hate it when people speak different things from the same mouth. Falana used to be an authority, what a change. If it Fayose or Ekiti law maker the same learned silk will say "corruption is the worst form of crime against the state".

Why are you hopping forward? Read the whole story not headlines. That would correct your misguided comments.

Mtchew! Some people believe everything they see on nairaland. Mtchew.

Mtchew! Some people believe whatever they see on nairaland. Mtchew.

Manamax:
l've not received any message from Npower be it acknowledgement or whatever..Although my friend who help me in my registration told me that it was successful but l still wonder why l've not got any message from them up till now.. ls there anybody with similar complain ?

I got mine this week after I had registered about 2 months ago.

Today, 50 years ago, Lt Col Adekunle Fajuyi was killed alongside the then Nigerian head of State, Gen Aguyi Ironsi by counter-coupist of mainly Northern extraction. There is the narrative that he refused to hand over his guest in Ibadan, Gen Ironsi, to the coup soldiers who wanted to kill the head of state. Fajuyi then was killed for his loyalty to Gen. Ironsi. Another narrative says Fajuyi was also on the death list of the coupist and would have been killed anyway. A third view is the combination of the two narratives above: that Fajuyi was to be killed anyway and at the same time refused to release Gen Ironsi to the killers. In the midst of all these, Fajuyi is recognized as a omoluabi- a person of virtue and honour in Yoruba ideology.

Various speakers, led by the guest lecturer Prof Niyi Osundare, called for the restructuring of the country as the only means to progress. The Confab 2014 report according to him will help us chart a way forward. He affirms Nigeria's existence(if it existed in the first place) must be negotiable.

It must be noted that the general position of the other speakers is not secession from Nigeria but one in which the nationalities within Nigeria are respected. How can we build a great Nigeria by destroying the nations within Nigeria.

At the events were Gen Alani Akinriade, Pastor Tunde Bakare, Gov Olusegun Mimiko of Ondo State, Deputy governor of Ogun State, Gen Olutoye, Hon Femi Gbajabiamila, Prof Niyi Osundare, Yinka Odumakin, Pa Fasotanti and many others

REVOLUTNIS:
Why will ur uncle refused to pay his tithe after all he has been attending the church, receiving blessing from God through the church programs. Refusing to make contributions to the church means he is a thief.

Is the church selling God's blessings?

Topgainer:
I only helped a sister defend her task master (and his gang) whom the whole world is lying against. No source, no concurrence or anything... just one man said!!!
Just like rumors of his divorce and plans to present a new mistress to the public. No source, no concurrence or anything... just one man said!!!
The fact remains, he never divorced his wife nor got separated from her. He is a man of god, hand picked by God, his obedience to the word of God cannot be questioned. As a Bishop he has obeyed fully the portion that says a man who is not capable of ruling his own household should not bishop it out over the house of God.
He never wrote a commendation letter to the dismissed Sheraton worker who stole to donate to Christ Embassy. It was all fabrications from detractors.
Haters everywhere.

"He is a man of god, hand picked by God, his obedience to the word of God cannot be questioned."

Who hand picked you? Many CEC see Chris Oyakhilome as beyond an ordinary Christian. Yet the same blood of Jesus redeemed all believers. No believer is superior or inferior to the other.

Regular sex with your spouse is just so beautiful! If your spouse doesn't like it as much as you, encourage him or her rather than go outside.

Unmarried, keep off!

bishopkay:
Sorry to ruffle your feathers but I doubt you could comprehend what I wrote there.
Over the years in my business dealings, I've a simple principle...put your mouth where your money is. Fashola said a serious government should be able to solve power problems in six months. He further boasted of what he did in Lagos and peeps like you applauded him.

Fast forward to over six months since getting the portfolio of the power ministry and we are even worse off than before he took over. Excuses, excuses and more excuses. Is he indirectly telling us the Buhari government isn't serious?

About you thinking Fashola is presidential material, that's your own opinion and you are entitled to it. I actually thought in that light too one certain time until he went about maintaining websites for 175 million naira.
Also for your information, I read more than QUARTER of the original post. #peace

I doubt you reside in Lagos.

But to the main issue, I agree with you that Fashola didn't understand the power sector and that was the reason he said all the things he said. But now that he understands he attempts to let Nigerians know the real situation of things and that these things take time. But is it not that because of your dislike for him you refuse to see the factual nature of the situation? I am glad you didn't contradict any of his facts. Whether you like Fashola or not facts are facts. Eg. TCN cannot yet transmit more than 5000MW but they are working on it. Thanks to NDA they work will take longer than it is planned.

therealMcCain:
I love your analogy, before I stumbled on this piece, I had a falling out with someone on Twitter, asking him what has been dobe about power

He directed me to this piece, I then understood the enormity of the problems.

There is also a 2010 power roadmap, I will read that & out up my thoughts too(it's over 150pages),

Nigerians don't like the word process, they want quick fix.

As I stated earlier, even if they genco's generate 12,000MW how do you transmit it when our national grid can't take more than 5,000MW?

The national grid can't be upgraded within a year. Some industrial quipments take nothing less than 7months-1yr to procure & deliver

I just tire, my major grouse is the DISCO's that are ripping is off

I agree with you on the DISCO thing. Prepaid meters must be given to everyone to avoid the exploitation.

But our people too may start by-passing. Nevertheless, it is the responsibility of DISCO to device a technique to identify by-passers.

ayokellany:
No need for any epistles Fashola should provide power he was appointed to provide. All Nairalanders know where to go if we need to read journal. OP tell Fashola power is not story telling. He should just do it. How he does it is no business of mine. Fashola left no room for Jonathan's story on power Nigerians are not ready for his story as well.

I doubt you read a quarter of the piece but here you are showing your dislike for intellectual reasoning. It is like a child who cries (or wails!) to mummy that he wants to eat and mummy says the gas just finished and that she would go and buy kerosene to complete the cooking. The little child most likely not understand that 'epistle'. All the child wants is food! Whether the mum has to cut his hand for him to eat he doesn't give a damn!
Many Nigerians are like that baby. The don't understand process. They think results are magic. Why won't they think like that? Some of them had their Final year Long Essay(project) written by 'consultants'. They have not yet developed the power of intellectual rigour to get things done. Hence they can't show empathy to anyone doing the same.
Fashola, to me, is a presidential material.

bishopkay:
Oga rocket science please stop explaining to us. Are these problems peculiar to just you alone? Didn't you know this before attacking the people there earlier? Na me happy pass as dem give u this portfolio. Deal with it please

None.

malailayi:
Instead of her to fight through thick and thin to ensure that. her many children live a good and fulfilled life, she decided to die for her God after making her husband loose his business.
NOW WHO IS GOING TO LOOK AFTER HER KIDS...

Look, everyone will die. And it may come at any age. What if she was not killed during preaching that morning? Who says she would see the end of July?

If she died for the sake of Christ as I believe she did, she is now in a life far far better than you and I are experiencing. Sebi you will die one day too.

RockHard:
Trash.

Why not air you view rather than spitting insults? To be able to insult is nothing cerebral. Even little children can do so.

CzarChris:
I don't go about throwing insults with every kid that has access to Android phones that probably doesn't belong to him. Well, abacha in all his fallings maintained the exchange rate to the dollar at 80naira, he never increased PMS more than 15naira. Yes nigeria was going through though times, but recall it was mainly because of sanctions placed on Nigeria by the International community. So Iraq, Libya, Egypt, Congo DR etc. that the loss of millions of lives would have been avoidable had the citizens of those countries been allowed to rule in their own way and not being influenced by outside interfaces.
You can't cross my fence and come into my house to tell me how to rule my home. Of course I will revolt against you.
That 1914 amalgamation is one of the soar parts in the history of Nigeria, why? Because someone from England thought it was a great idea to join a group of diverse people to be one, and you expect peace?


Liberate yourself from mental slavery, nothing good can ever come from the western world to developing countries.
Who is/was the hero of democracy that died truly for liberty and never connected to some adverse motives?

I am entitled to my opinion and so are you, never insult me in any thread again or else, I go change am for you.

All kinds of comments on nairaland sha! But it seems you prefer military govt. I'll ask you few questions:

Do you think engaging the people in their own affairs is good for a country?
Don't you think a military govt is susceptible to coups and counter coup?
Don't you think a govt that has 4 guaranteed years to plan and work is better than a govt that is not sure to be there next week?

Finally, would you say because your car has problems and needs repairs, you would trek to Abuja from Lagos?

That last question is sarcastic and intentionally so. Let us work on fixing our democracy rather than wishing for something that make us start complaining 4 weeks into it.

God did not assure his children in the Bible that they wouldn't be attacked or killed. Jesus even said some of his disciples are going to be killed. So it is not strange.

But also God can and does protect his children. We will all die someday. The man who kills a believer of Jesus Christ won't add the life of his victim to his own. So the irony of a most powerful God who sometimes watches as his children are being killed is beyond us sometimes. But he didn't promise us an all-sweet Christian journey. What he promises his children whether they are killed or die naturally is eternal life.

Mopolchi:
When it is not beneficial to you then it becomes bad thing? Do you think that the removal stops at the CEO and others, it trickles down to the rank and file of the bank too? Many jobs will be lost. As we discuss this, many are withdrawing their money from the bank via their ATMs. Do you take account of the ripple effects? Think before you starts supporting your "good thing".

So what do you suggest CBN does?

Mopolchi:
Hmmm. All Nigeria banks' CEOs, directors and managers are very guilty of the same wrongdoings. Why dealing with Skye bank?

And therefore CBN should just leave Skye bank to crash! What a way to reason!
