Kdon2:
I just hope so.

Muslim Muslim ticket or not, I won't even vote for Tinubu

I am a Christian from the south west, forgerabourit I will never vote for a Muslim-Muslim ticket

No torture is worse than this!

Muslim world is so poor that you pack all your load to dubia for opportunity

Only desperately poor people or engineers go to Dubai for opportunities, the majority go there for tourism and business.

caracas:
Are u ok at all? So if the mother refuses to feed the baby why blame an innocent woman? Who then takes responsibility for the child's death? Besides from her narrative it is clear she took some steps in taking care of the child

You can pass your message without insulting me please. It is against basic communication ethics to ask if someone is ok at all before passing your message, i take full exception to this.

If the mother refuses to breastfeed her baby you cannot find another alternative? But you can afford to pay a nurse! That's a lie!!

How can you by 11.22pm opening thread about Tinubu?


Tinubu did you guys strong thing or Is Tinubu omnipresent in you guys medulla oblongata ?

To the extent that a whole Ohaneze Ndigbo has to write a letter to citizen Tinubu, who is not an elected official nor has he declared his intention to contest for the highest office in Nigeria.

What kind of Inferiority Complex is this?

Why are you guys always reminding us that that Bolaji Ahmed Adekunle Tinubu is the next President of Nigeria?

The Difference between LAGOS DEMOCRACY and other 35 States since 1999 till Date is tinubu.

The Difference between SW DEMOCRACY and other Five Regions since 1999 till date is tinubu.

The Difference between LAGOS ECONOMY and other African Cities since 1999 till date is tinubu.

The Difference between Progressive Politics and Wailing Hateful Politics since 1999 till date is tinubu.......

This is the Spoken and Unspoken Truth.


Let me join them to say God Bless Incoming President Bola Ahmed Adekunle Tinubu

You don't want people to talk about him, but you want him to win an election? How possible is that?

J3susFr3ak:
12 ...not 19 States launched Sharia. Those also consider themselves the "real" North...or Arewa North. And this is where the whole Almijiri culture originates and resides.

Just thought I should mention that out.

Thanks. It's 12 actually.

DOTian:
Is this country still a secular state as enshrined in the constitution if one of the constituent states can whimsically impose her preferred religion as the state religion!? Is that how federalism works in your own dictionary?

Unfortunately so. Check the constitution there is actually a provision for sharia there. After all people went to court to challenge the legality of sharia and were surprised that some how it was actually indirectly smuggled into our constitution. Nigeria is a member of the Organisation of Islamic Community is Nigeria a Muslim country? Your guess is as good as mine.

DOTian:
Stop providing cheap excuses for some utterly incompetent politicians. Obasanjo was not forced to take over. He campaigned vigorously to be president. Constitutionally , Nigeria is a secular state! So if a State governor starts to impose a sectarian religion on his state, as the commander in chief with all the coercive instruments of the state at his beck and call, Obasanjo should have taken actions to stop that. He dropped the ball there because he was selfish and a northern slave! That's the blunt fact..

He campaigned for it? Does the president have the power to stop states from practicing whatever they want to practice under a federal set up? I don't get it are you supporting illegality just because he campaigned for it? 19 northern states simultaneously launched sharia and you want the president to launch a war on all of them? Isn't that impossible? Why didn't Buhari launch a war on the southwest governors to stop Amotekun? The president simply have no such powers!

The same you will blame Obasanjo for withholding Lagos local government funds when Tinubu created 37 new local governments saying it is illegal, the same you want Obasanjo to stop state governments from practicing sharia, aren't you confusing yourself?

DOTian:
This tout has been president of Nigeria for over decade! He was president as a young man and came back as an older man with a lot of "experience", but yet could not correct whatsoever that are the mistakes he saw from the sidelines. This guy allowed the Sharia nonsense to gain ground in the North through Zamfara. That's how Boko Haram started and the general insecurity in the North followed.

Everybody in the country begged him to stop Yerima from politicizing Sharia, yet after thousands were killed over the Sharia riots, he lifted no finger to stop that! Obasanjo is Evil. He knows all the problems of the country. He knows all the solutions and answers to those problems. But make him the president for a thousand times, he won't solve them, because he's part of the problem! He prefers to pontificate from Otta farm..

I dont understand, he should have killed Yerima? He should stop a state governor from practicing Sharia? The Zamfara people that wanted sharia are they fools? Is it not Buhari that was on the fore-front of the fight for the spread of Sharia? Have you blamed him? When South west wanted to start amotekun could Buhari have stopped them?

If the north wanted to destroy themselves with sharia how is that Obj's fault? The north brought sharia, sharia subsequently brought Boko haram and banditry, please how is that Obj's fault.

southniyikaye:
how will this affect your joining or not joining?

When things like this happens, it usually leads to a lot of anxiety, you won't sleep well knowing U could be laid off, colleagues from your last place of work could then laugh at you.

I went through sort of thing a few years ago, I don't want another one so soon after.

Wow, I almost joined Honeywell a few months back, when God does good atimes we call it evil

Sweet words from Blinken, but i still find it very difficult trusting these Americans, their body language sends divergent signals towards this terrorism menace.

Biafrarep:
You and that El Rufai son are both dull. For him to call David Hundeyin baby factory or drug trafficker shows it is not an identity since the dude is probably from the middle belt.

David Hundeyin is from Badagry Lagos!

Be careful! Yaya Abatan is notorious for this kind of thing.

Olaoluwa112:
When you read about Mohamed's life, how he spent his last days on earth then you get no reason to question these people for behaving like animals, that's what they believe and it will be so...

How did he spend his last days?

Ibkhaleel01:
They go to work, live, holiday & shop in Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait & Qatar.
While there, they subject themselves completely to Sharia laws & Islamic injunctions that govern these countries.
They even learn Arabic to be able to communicate effectively.
But here in Nigeria that is governed by laws & a constitution that is based on the Christian CANONICAL laws...;
here in Nigeria that uses for all its official documents, schedules & civil observances the GREGORIAN calendar named after Pope Gregory XIII, who issued the papal bull Inter gravissimas in 1582, announcing calendar reforms for all of Catholic Christiandom which gave birth to the Gregorian calendar in use today also called the Western or Christian calendar...;
they want to die whenever they see Arabic inscription on anything. They are so afraid of Islamization & are all running away to the Middle East to escape been Islamized by Buhari.
Self-deceit & idiotic hypocrisy should indeed have a limit!!

How many people are running to middle east o? Liar! Today millions of moslems woke up with the dream of ever stepping foot in the west! But in your convoluted dream you are seeing non existent christians running to the Middle east , May the living God forbid.

Wfsholla90:
Interestingly you don't expect us to believe all this crap coming from a kafir without putting up alot of investigation.
We don't owe you any explanation however, if you would like to know about the sweetness of Islam I will implore you to research and practice the deen.
NB: I am a Yoruba Muslim, I love Islam, I love equally Muslim brothers from the North, South and East more than I love a fellow Yoruba Non Muslim. If you're pained my brother carry am for your headpan e, I don't give a damn about your feelings anyway.

It's not your fault, it's that of your cowardly fore fathers who would take a crappy religion from the worst of mankind at the pain of death.

You people can dream...but you will always occupy the lowest rungs of modern society, you people do not have the basic intelligence to develop technologies that can dominate the world nor the political machineries to evolve modern economic management ethos, you will always depend on the benevolence of the west to survive and even then mass poverty and misery will still be your lot.

Wait for power to shift to China/Russia and you will understand your worth better. it isbecause America and by extension the west has been tolerating your excesses for political expediency.

To be frank, at the point of break up, the south east may eventually come to the realization that Nigeria was the best gift they ever had!

N100mn is too small, you might only be able to secure a DSE job with that.

N1Bn and above may work though but most banks have very strict recruitment process when it comes to recruiting professional staff and the process is extremely difficult to circumvent.

No matter how beautiful you think you are, there is always a more beautiful and younger person available to fill your space.

Henrhyme4u:
You see bro, if you are still sentimental or biased about any institution in this country you will not know their relevances, try to know the differences between secret agencies and action agencies and their responsibilities, mostly action agencies caused embarrassment to secret/ intelligence agency like DSS or CIA as many use to compare, had it been that action agencies like police, military and other paramilitary in any country act swiftly and diligently to intelligence provided to them by secret agencies, there won't be any form of insecurity in the country but failure on the part of action agencies mostly prompt the secret agencies in the world act on intelligence they risk their life to obtained to deny bad types in the society from carrying out their action that are inimical to the state. Try to search and research on what secret agencies in the world including DSS does.

Ok. Maybe i should reframe the question, what exactly does DSS do for the people of Nigeria, i know they serve politicians but the masses? What does DSS do for them?

Frankly speaking, I have been wondering about the usefulness of all these intelligence agencies, DSS, NIA, DMI etc, what do they do?

Where is the intelligence when terrorists will write communities ahead of their operations and still carry out their operations smoothly without hinderance, where is the intelligence when hundreds of children will be kidnapped, tortured at will and nothing happens thereafter!

Peter Afunanya wrote a long epistle but still fails to answer the basic question: what exactly does the DSS do?

Does the Local Government not belong to the state? Don’t they share a joint account as mandated by the Constitution of The Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (As Amended), what right did The Federal Government (Obasanjo) have to withhold something that does not belong to you? State House of Assemblies are allowed to creates laws for their states, which is subject to Federal law, Federal Government has no business with Local Government money, that is the exclusive jurisdiction of the State, Obasanjo Abuse of power? Well the Supreme Court only reiterated my point.

I have stated the facts as it is, you are now free to take sides.

1. The supreme court declared that both parties were wrong Local government Areas can only be created after been approved by the national assembly according to the constituition, if APC does not like this, well the party is in power now they can either amend that portion or approve the 37 Local government Areas but since they have not done so in 6 years i believe that the party agrees 100% with the constituition on that.

2. When the local governments were created initially, the plan was to make them independent of the state governmets but that has changed because the state governors insisted otherwise, Obasanjo wanted the Local government Areas to be independent and tried to force it and even Buhari in his last interview clearly stated the same thing, he clearly favoured it, according to him State governments wants more autonomy but are insisting on not giving the local government the same autonomy they are asking for, like i said you are free to have your own opinion on this, everybody does.

3. I personally do not believe in creating more recurrent expenditure in the name of local goverments, states or ministries, i believe a nation like Nigeria can do with less state Governors, less local Government chairmen and less Ministers. More Money shoud go to capital projects. 20 strong and virile local governments is better than 57 almost comatose ones

4. Finally the myth that Lagos state allocation was withheld has stayed for too long, no matter how many times you parrot it, it is wrong. Lagos State allocation is different from Local Government allocation and it has never been withheld.

I personally do not think increasing over heads in any way is a good strategy, since the states have now been in charge of the local governments how effective have they become?

Is 20 effective and strong local government areas not better than 57 almost osteosarcoma

These aren't good times for Aunty Tonto!

Buckeyemedia1:
What concerns me with Abuja, how has the Governor, past & present Government of your state made your life any better? Or has the Governor of your state complained that his monthly allocation from the FAAC has been withheld from him, like OBJ did with Lagos State? How much IGR has been generated by your State government for the betterment of your life?

Stop spreading lies, there was never a time that Lagos's allocation was withheld. It was the council's funds that were held and the reason for that was the creation of 37 more local government councils and the insistence by Obasanjo to pay the local government's allocation directly rather than hand them over to the state governments.

The Supreme court later ruled that Lagos State Government was wrong to create Local Councils without following the constitutional procedures and Obasanjo was also wrong to withhold the Local Government allocation. After that judgement Lagos State changed the names of the 37 newly created Local Government Councils in Local Government Development areas and Yar Adua/Jonathan eventually agreed to be paying state's money belonging to the Local Government and the funds were released to the Lagos State Government under Fashola.

So defence pact means the United states is protecting those countries??

The defense pact is all about selling weapons and training of which most countries are participants, it is like a military defense bilateral relations.

Mr, jews and Christians aren't one, the jews hate Christians and persecute them in isreal.

1. There are American troops stationed in those countries as i speak, in peace time it is about trainings and exchange of intelligence, any one that attacks any of those countries attacks America, America will not hesitate to defend its allies, it has said so several times.

2. True, we know it, Jews have been persecuting Christians since time immemorial but we love them, we are one, our religion tells us to conquer hate with love. We don't hate moslems too, we believe we are one but we destest the violence associated with Islam and the blood thirsty nature of some moslems no matter how few they are.

Religion should bring peace and progress not violence and bloddshed.
