That's a rather very unsmart move by Lagos state govt.
If this is in bid to prevent people congregating together the all schools like LASU and UNILAG should be shut down because some of lecture halls have population greater than some crusades. Also the state secretariat should be shut down. Markets should be shut down. Is alaba international market not having population greater than religious gatherings?
WHY SHOULD THE BAN BE ON RELIGIOUS GATHERINGS? AND NOT MARKETS?
I guess its because LASG don't make money from religious gatherings ko?

When you gather humans and pay them 4 million monthly for no real reason this is what you get, garbage.

Van snickers: Before I deleted my account months ago, I was Jonathan's biggest critic, I called him a ret@rdeen, a ret@rdamus and a clueless president. I've always wanted to come back and write this, but I didn't feel like making a new account.

Jonathan is Nigeria's president and as Nigerian citizens, we must stick with him during this trying Period. The Country is under siege from demons that want to destroy our motherland.

We must fight!
We must not let them win!


Long live Nigeria.

Only someone who recognises the fact that he needs support that should be supported.
Did GEJ tell you he needs support?

nerodenero: To say Mr. President value education this much and allowed ASUU go on strike for 6 months is appalling.

The only thing GEJ values is his remaining in office come 2015. Well, even lecturer office sef, na office!

why is this OP posting a February 2013 article and claiming as though what GEJ spoke was about a week ago.
Did anyone read where GEJ said 'by May this year we will be 3yrs and by May 2014 we will be 4yrs in Aso rock?' (paraphrased).
We heard that the Forty man laptop GEJ team has been upgraded to 300 man laptop GEJ team.
No amount of media propaganda can change Nigerians present perception of GEJ only real and visible democracy dividends can.

If GEJ does not call Asari Dokubo to order for this needless reply of OBJ's letter then it makes a nuisance of the reply he wrote. I don't care who is right between OBJ and GEj what bothers is why Asari is insultive to someone old enough to be his father.

All these posts over unverified news!
SMH.
All these boys under the payroll of the presidency prepped by Abati and supervised by Okugbe should keep peddling fake news. Tenure go soon end.

The VC's should come with their account details?
Into what account has NUC been paying the universities before now?
Anyone who does not see clearly here that FG is just playing politics with education is simply not unstupid.

Asari did not threaten blood shed?
May be it was bllod sharing he threatened.
pathetic liar, all for naira.

They met with the highest authority yet they did not call off?
This only points to one thing, that you may not be the highest authority.
Authority is not a person it is track record you have built over time.
And your track record Mr president cannot be banked.

Protest?
Is that all they taught about expressing grievances.
Did you support Oshiomole when he gave scholarship to that stowaway boy?
Are you part of the supporters of the numerous adopted children Oshiomole is catering for from his pocket?

If your answers to above questions is no, what gives you the moral right to disturb us about a protest.
Go get a life!

Fool.

Promhize: Do you have comprehension issues, whose talking about compromising the future? If ASUU can be paid for the 5months they did not work, then we should be compensated too!

Watch your words if you wish to sleep well tonight.

Shallow Mind, did you go on strike that you should be compensated? Did anyone tell you to go home? Schools were not closed.
U berra grow up.

Promhize: And what do they produce? Abegi jare, I'm a student, I have like 3professors lecturing me. There's nothing special about them, only one is above average.

Three professors lecturing you and you see nothing special about them and you even know which of them is above average.
Students don't talk like this, only village touts claiming to be students.

Promhize: You are so daft, haven't FG agreed with ASUU? Didn't you hear of the new demands by ASUU? Why would FG pay them for 5months in which they not work?

How will we students who paid close to 100k to rent house outside school be refunded? Those of us that left foodstuffs in school? What do we get?

You are such an idi.ot

So the future of Nigeria should be compromised because you left foodstuff and paid a blood.y house rent?
Just wondering what type of graduate you'd be.
You obviously are the I.diot here.

Any student here that is applauding the FG for ordering ASUU back to class is either a teenager who is still in 100level and does not really understand whats happening in the education sector or is simply da.ft.

What are you praising the FG for? for not honouring a five year old agreement or for simply displaying stupidity.
If the FG was truly sincere there wouldnt have been need to threaten ASUU with sack over resumption. The FG spent 500 million naira just for a birthday for Patience Jonathan a venture that only lasts about 5 hours yet says there is no money to invest in the future of her country via education. Where did the money lavishly used on African first ladies come from when they visited Nigeria?
Stella was able to siphon over 255 million naira without the FG knowing until a whistle blower came forth. Where did the money come from?
Tompolo and rest militants are multi billionaires now courtesy of GEJ's FG yet FG says no money for education.Do you know Tompolo has a private jet?
Do you how much GEJ spends when on international trips with his retinue of aides for albeit useless meetings and conferences? yet no money for education.
We just heard that over 500 billion of SURE-P funds is missing. Do you know what 500 billion can do to the education sector? How can 500 billion miss?
They only say there is no money as long as it is a venture that does not allow siphoning of public funds and education is a classical example.

It is stupi.d of any Nigerian student being on the FG's side as long as education is concerned. Keep praising FG when all their kids are abroad schooling.

That's not true. Power generation stands at 8,000MW, sorry i mean 9,600MW.
When will they stop telling us our power generation on paper when we need to see it in our houses. SMH

oh men! They want to empty the river ni?

Please someone should tell this GEJ led Federal Government that Nigerians have watched JACK BAUER on 24, they fully understand how things are cooked to deceive people.
They should have allowed the assassins to at least shoot her on her hand for more effect.

The easiest method na to put interlocking tiles na.

Mintayo: Nice but i don't really get that number 4,can someone explain better?

The number 4 issue mostly happens to people who apply through a third party website.
Some websites demand that you make applications through them just to create traffic to their websites then it is now forwarded to the requesting organisation. The organisation sees the emails coming in bulk and from a single source. Be wary of applying through third party websites.

DSTV means Devil Satan TeleVision.
What else do you expect.

Haba architect!
why are you breaking the ethics of the profession.
Are you allowed to advertise yourself?
Please behave. This is highly unethical.

Wow! a lot of colleagues and pharmacy students here. And they said pharmacist do not socialise?
Beyond the ceutics, cognosy, cology, Pharm MCB, clinicals, etc pharmacists mingle superbly.

Now to my main post.
i dey find pharmacist babe.
who wants to apply

Why didn't the same minister for foreign affairs sign the agreement Nigeria had on agriculture with the same Israel. OR why didn't the same minister of foreign affairs sign the agreement on debt relief with our debtors, rather finance minister did the signing.
OP, anybody can sign anything of behalf of his country when delegated. The fact that Stella Oduah did not do the BASA signing despite the fact that she was present at the occasion means only one thing.
HER FATE HAS ALREADY BEEN DECIDED.
There is no how Stella will not maneuver her way to sign anything ( assuming its true that BASA can only be signed by a foreign affairs ministers). The fact that she didn't says a lot about her fate.
Let's put sentiment aside and move our country forward please.

franchizy: As a leader of the worlds best youth forum (Global Youth Forum), I want to assure Nigerians that the News is not only a falaxy but a usual propaganda by the APC sympathizers whose only work are to fabricate false news generally misleading Nigerians.
I wish to advice all Nigerians to disregard this news as there is no iota of truth in it. Again there is nothing like comisioning of d sokoto owned university scheduled for today.
Nigerians shud know dat any attempt to deny GEJ a second time will not be tolerated by we the Global Youth forum.
There is No Vacancy in Aso Rock till 2019.

You are very right. There is no vacancy is Aso Rock till 2019. You unfortunately forgot that Aso Rock has been vacant since the death of Yaradua. The persons we have in Aso Rock today are impostors. The occupiers are on the way who will achieve so much in a single term and handover in 2019.

luvinhubby: I beg your pardon.
Can you please highlight the rubbish in the whole write up?

Pardoned.
But if you can't see the rubbish in the write up you are either preparing to write english comprehension exam or you just failed one.

Iolo: It is highly outrageous to buy two vehicles, any kind of vehicles for N225 million. It is also highly outrageous for mainstream media to rely on reports of online media, which most of the time are laced with gossips and rumours, for serious aviation reports.

Now that Nigerians are outraged about the exaggerated reports on the purchase of the vehicles, the facts of the matter have been eclipsed as the first report always finds a listening ear.

But it is good to deliberate on the motive behind the report and preceding reports before this last one. Princess Stella Oduah as Minister of Aviation has jolted the apple cart. In her strive to make desired changes in the sector she has excavated the status quo.

There are certain trends that have defined the aviation sector. There are always since 1999 those who use lopsided agreements and contracts to milk the aviation agencies. There are also those who use aviation related associations to sustain their lives and the aviation union executives rely on agency heads and succeeding ministers to make money in the sector.

Stella came and changed all that. These people were denied their source of material life by Stella and these are people behind the forces that coalesced against her.

It is said in the industry that two people before 2011 made noticeable changes in the sector. One was Peter Igbinedion who was the Managing Director of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, FAAN, during the Abacha years. In retrospect also, kudos goes to Mrs. Kema Chikwe who was also the Minister of Aviation in the first tenure of Chief Obasanjo as Nigerian President. Story had it that she was pressured to leave, just as Stella is being pressured now and that when she was eased out broom was used to sweep out her footsteps from her office. But when she left, the same people acknowledged and still acknowledge that before Stella, Kema Chikwe was the best performing Minister of Aviation since civilian rule in 1999.

When Oduah was appointed there were three subsisting agreements that were controversial. One of them was Maevis which was managing the revenue of FAAN. FAAN said that the agreement was lopsided against the agency to the extent that the agency did not know how much that accrued in its coffers as Maevis every months gave it a hand out, a situation where a principle is being handed over money by its contractor. The agreement, to the agency was obnoxious and it was eating its revenue and hampering development of the 22 airports under its management.

Three Ministers came when the agreement was enforced, including Felix Hyat, who just witnessed its unveiling, Babatunde Omotoba who was there when FAAN workers started crying out against the agreement and alleged rip of FAAN by the agreement. He did nothing. Felicia Njeze came and smiled away few years later without doing anything about it. Stella came and did something. She revoked the agreement!

She was attacked with all kinds of arsenal, including media and court scud missiles. She remained unshaken. Other Ministers did not have the courage to do anything because of the Giant Eagle that facilitated the agreement and the agreement was aimed to rip off the agencies and empower some individuals.

Another agreement was the Pan Express agreement which gave the company the right to collect revenues from cargo and pay FAAN certain amount of revenue every month. That agreement was easily eased out because it did not come from the Big Eagle. Ironically that was the only decent agreement that was drawn not to strip FAAN its revenue; in fact, before the company started work, that source of cargo revenue for FAAN was in limbo, but it was done away quickly as soon as contrived agitation against it started.

Then the big masquerade of agreement which is still subsisting…the Bi Courtney concession agreement to build the domestic terminal in Lagos which initially was given for 12 years and was later extended controversially for 36 years without the expected approval of the Federal Executive Council, as Obasanjo recommended when the letter for the extension was presented to him by the then Minister of Aviation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode. In the letter requesting for the extension, Obasanjo responded, “No.” That it should be taken to FEC for approval. The approval never took place and since then Bi Courtney has done everything possible to use the courts to get the extension and it remains at best controversial.

How did Oduah cross the way of Bi Courtney? The company realising that it did not have enough apron to park aircraft MMA2 claimed that the General Aviation Terminal, GAT, belonged to it and pointed out a clause in the agreement that said no other domestic airport terminal should be built in Lagos without deferring to Bi Courtney. Oduah defiantly made it clear that GAT which she dismantled and rebuilt under one year, did not belong to Bi Courtney.

Then there was the AIC Limited which claimed that many years ago a portion of land meant for expansion of the MurtalaMuhammedInternationalAirport, Lagos terminal was given to the company to build hospitality facility. But for years nothing was done at the portion land and recently with terror threats and the inevitable need to have another terminal at the Lagos airport, it became unrealistic to build such facility at that portion of land. Stella Oduah overruled that quest.

The highly placed, powerful people behind these companies have been injured by the Minister. But her purpose is obvious: that for the aviation industry to develop and progress there must be an end to these rip-offs and that the assets that are meant for Nigerians should not be coveted by a few highly placed people at the expense of over 160 million Nigerians. The war has been drawn. Stella Oduah must go!

The foot soldiers

As stated earlier, the labour union leaders and some association executives rely on aviation agency heads to sustain their existence. A former Director General of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, NCAA, kept the Aviation Round Table, ART, leaders on a payroll. Other agencies like FAAN, the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency, NAMA, give them contracts. But these contracts stopped when Oduah became the Minister. In protest, the attacks against her came in torrents to the extent that the President of ART, Captain Dele Ore at one time alleged Oduah threatened to kill him. Some aspects of the media made a savoury of it.

This is rubbish in its absoluity. A very poor attempt at damage control.
The question is very simple. Did she or did she not buy an unbudgeted car for 255million?

SHE IS NOT A VICTIM PLEASE. Stop all these worthless write ups alleging victimisation.
