Wait and hear the cost of the project.Cool down

the cost of a project executed in bayelsa state cannot be compared to the cost of that same project in any part of Nigeria because the state is 90% swampy. so only the sandfilling of that area alone must have gulped over 40% of the actual sum that can execute that same project in any other part of Nigeria. be guided brother.

Greatzeus:

God’ll not forgive me if I support Atiku – Obj Former VP:

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo and his erstwhile deputy, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, clashed, again, yesterday, after the former, said God will not forgive him if he supports Atiku’s presidential bid ahead of 2019 elections.

Atiku, not one to shy away from a battle, immediately responded that his former boss should tidy up his relationship with God, instead of hanging his judgment with God on things concerning him (Atiku).

The erstwhile VP is currently a presidential aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
The development follows what some had considered as a dilemma for Dr. Obasanjo who supported Muhammadu Buhari’s 2015 campaign but is now a major face against a second term for the incumbent. Atiku Abubakar who served as vice president in the two terms of the Obasanjo civilian presidency between 1999 and 2007 is one of those aspiring to take over Buhari’s office.

Atiku and Obasanjo have, however, had issues arising from perceptions of what Atiku allegedly did to undermine Obasanjo as president during the first term of their presidency. Obasanjo has, however, put his opposition to Atiku on insinuations of corruption which, however, have never been established by either Obasanjo or the court of law.
Nobel laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka, however, at the weekend, claimed ego on the part of the former president, as he alleged that Obasanjo knelt to beg Atiku to help him win the second term ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in 2003.

Obasanjo, when asked, in an interview with Premium Times, whether he will support Atiku’s 2019 presidential bid, had said:
“How can I be on the same side with Atiku? To do what?
“If I support Atiku for anything, God will not forgive me. If I do not know, yes. But once I know, Atiku can never enjoy my support,” he added.
“I do not have personal grudges with anyone,” Obasanjo said. “If you do not do well for Nigeria, you do not do well for all of us.

“It is not a question of working with or not working with an individual, If you are working for the good of Nigeria, I am working with you. If you are not working for the good of Nigeria, it does not matter who you are, I am not working with you.
“Most of you do not understand the way I operate. And I thought your own paper will understand better.
“I know Atiku very well. And I have mentioned my position with Atiku. My position has not changed.”
On a personal note, the former President added, “If my children are getting married, he has sent representatives. If his children are getting married, I have sent representatives. That is social. That is not political.

“But on political ground, my position has not changed. If I support Atiku for a political office other than the one I supported him in the past when I did not know him,” maybe, but not “now that I know him, God will not forgive me.”
The Atiku 2019 Presidential Campaign responding to Obasanjo’s missive at the weekend through its spokesman, Segun Sowunmi, said:
“The first is to say it upfront that HE former Vice President Atiku Abubakar holds former President Olusegun Obasanjo in very high esteem, just as he holds every other leader in Nigeria high esteem.
“The esteem that President Obasanjo enjoys is premised on two things; one, being the former president, Atiku also understands that he cannot and should not desecrate anybody that has sat in the office that he aspires to.

“The second is the fact that they had worked together on a joint ticket as president and vice-president towards the 1999 and 2003 elections, for those two reasons, HE the former vice-president does not want to join any issues with him and respects him and understands that as an individual Obasanjo is within his right to have his point of view.
“It is a little bit suspect what Obasanjo means, that God will not forgive him if he supports Atiku. I think that is really a personal relationship between him and his God, and it will be better for him to use his later years to tidy up relationship between himself and his God, instead of hanging his judgement with God on things that concern him and Atiku.

“Having said that, we are completely convinced that the (Atiku’s) decision to run for the presidency is premised on the condition that this country can benefit from the God-given talents and the experience he has garnered.

“There is nothing that has not been thrown in the way of Atiku to cow him, to break him, to harass him, to intimidate him or to just make him uncomfortable. He has demonstrated that he has the tenacity to withstand it and he has the robustness of mind to remain calm.

“We still believe that in the course of this journey, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo may have to reconsider his stand in line with the wish of the majority of Nigerians, which, in my opinion now, is that of all the aspirants for the office of President, that H.E. Atiku Abubakar has the experience, has the democratic credentials, has the vision, has the workable programme and is in sync with what the Nigeria nation needs now and can leapfrog it to higher levels of development.

“All the same, we will continue to wish Chief Olusegun Obasanjo well and we would want to say that nothing can be further from the truth (that) if Obasanjo follows his Christian dictate he would understand that God that he expects to judge him would not expect him to be a permanent traducer of every other person apart from himself. He has enjoyed the benefits of other people, other people must also enjoy his benefits. Obasanjo cannot be an enemy to every person except himself.”

NOW THESE ARE THE KIND OF POST WE WANT TO READ ABOUT CHRISTIANITY ON SUNDAYS. NOT THOSE EVIL, STUPID, IRRELEVANT & CONTROVERSIAL TOPICS PEOPLE INTENTIONALLY POST TO STIR UP ISSUES.

so it has even come to the stage that Jehovah's Witness is even compared to the Pentecostal Church. Smh...
instead us to talk about Scriptures on Sunday just as Muslims do on Friday. I'll open Nairaland & be seeing stupid, controversial & irrelevant topics about Christianity on Sunday. For your information OP, JW is not regarded as a Christian Denomination. I rest my case...

SaintLucia:
The mosque is not a business center. You can never see two or three mosques in the same street or opposite each other or in a three storey building. Zakat and Sadaqt in Islam is given to the poor.

shut up!!! come to Oke-ira, Lamgbasa & Addo to see for yourself. buh Islam uses state money to build mosque

ignore Muslims talking nonsense.

this is a video clip of a dead body in a casket that refused to be buried but instead led the pallbearers to the house of someone who purportedly has a hand in the death of the deceased.

Check history up until date. People u find in Most American Labs are people of Austrian, German, Russian and Asian origin. They are called Americans when all is well, Chinese when the person decide to take what he/she invented. What u call American tech is mainly patent. Naim dem dey call "use their head". if u doubt me, check the origin of the owner or joint owners of all American tech companies from Facebook to Apple to Amazon to Tesla to Google to Yahoo.... Immigrants

will u kip kwayet... the reason US will always be ahead of China & Russia is for one single reason, diversity. these so called competitors don't allow people from other races or immigrants to obtain citizenship or work in the top echelons of their tech companies. if China is so good, why are they trying to buy up almost all tech companies in silicon valley. Donald Trump has stopped that from continuing. show me 1 invention originally attributed to the Chinese apart from abacus. when u talk about invention, don't call China. call China if ure talking abt stealing secrets.

they are keeping vigil so that they can choose Lagos & abuja once the portal opens

even Europeans believe in reincarnation, this world is too wide, mysteries abound dat evn science cannot explain. meanwhile some nairalanders who are more civilized than the Westerners will claim that events like this don't occur or spirits don't exist. they will always attach it 2 Us being Africans.

what you weren't told is that Apple inc. has patent rights over that invention. so no other company can emulate it, not even China.

those abusing this hardworking gal should STFU!
its her job & she's enjoying what she's doing, atleast her customer isn't complaining...

meanwhile, your galfrnds keep asking u 4 money day & night. some have even spent the sum the owner of that barbing salon used to open that shop on their girlfriends & boyfriends. still yet zero, what u got in return? breakup...

for those like me who are impressed about the young lady earning a living & wanna check out the place, here's the address:

DEESTINCT BARBING SALON, 3 Princess Abiola Street, Nobex Junction, Ikotun Road...

The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Ibrahim K Idris, after his meeting with the Commanders of Police Mobile Force (PMF), Counter Terrorism Unit (CTU) and Special Protection Unit (SPU) on the 20th March, 2018 has graciously shifted the enforcement/implementation of the withdrawal of police officers attached to political and public office holders, VIPs, public and private companies and other categories of enterprises and business outfits and corporate individuals throughout the country as earlier directed.

“The withdrawal will now take effect from the 20th of April, 2018, this is to enable the force carry out a thorough assessment of the current deployment and carry out appropriate withdrawal.

“Meanwhile, the deputy inspector-general of police, department of operations of the force, has been mandated by the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) to direct all the commissioners of police and their supervising Assistant Inspectors-General (AIGs) in the states and zonal commands across the country to halt the withdrawal, revise and return those already withdrawn to their duty posts pending the new date of 20th of April, 2018.

“The task force teams set up by the IGP at the Force Headquarters, the Force X – Squad and others set up by the assistant inspectors-general of police and commissioner of police at the zonal and state Commands have equally been directed by the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) to suspend the enforcement of the withdrawal with immediate effect pending the new date,” the statement said adding that for the avoidance of doubt, all those who already have such police protections are to retain the personnel with them on deployment.

“They may be provided after the expiration of the period, if found worthy from the special protection unit of the force but should apply for re-validation through the commissioner of police of the state they are domiciled before the expiration of the new date of 20th April, 2018,” the statement added.

QuietMynd:
You will now see some stupid Nigerians applauding American police over Nigerian police.
This type of indescriminate killing occurs regularly in the usa but such case is rare in nigeria.

as if you'll reject the opportunity to be a cop in U.S.A. for this Shithole u call Nigeria.

. An analysis by The Washington Post found that 987 people were killed by police last year — 68 of them unarmed. Of those unarmed victims, 30 were white , 20 were black and 13 were Hispanic, showing an overrepresentation of African Americans among the total U . S. population . Five of the remaining fatalities were of unknown or other race .
At least 230 people have been killed by police this year , according to The Post ’s database on fatal force.


for those of y'all crying racism...

simply say police shot an American, must u say black man?
even the Washington Post headlined "Police shot a man...". bury your heads in shame. most of the black Americans in U.S.A. aren't educated sef, most drop out of high school. I'm not saying what the cops did was right. buh stop this sick racism shit & black lives matter shit. ALL LIVES MATTER. if I get American visa today, I'll leave every pin behind & go to U.S.A. #ShitHOLE

Nigerian security forces failed to act on advance warnings that a convoy of Boko Haram fighters was heading towards a town where they abducted 110 schoolgirls last month, an investigation by Amnesty International has revealed.
The military failed to respond while Boko Haram conducted an armed raid on the Government Girls Science and Technical College in Dapchi, Yobe state, on 19 February in an assault with chilling echoes of the infamous Chibok girls’ abduction of 2014.
“The Nigerian authorities must investigate the inexcusable security lapses that allowed this abduction to take place without any tangible attempt to prevent it,” said Osai Ojigho, Amnesty International’s Nigeria Director.
“As an even greater priority, the government must use all lawful means at its disposal to ensure that these girls are rescued.
“The authorities appear to have learned nothing from the abduction of 276 schoolgirls in Chibok, Borno state in 2014 and failed to ensure protection for civilians in northeast Nigeria, specifically girls’ schools.”
In response to the Chibok abduction, the Safe Schools Initiative - which is currently coordinated by the Presidential Committee on the North-East Initiative - was launched to improve security around schools. However, no framework seems to be in place to prevent further abductions and it appears that the Nigerian military is unable to protect schools from attack.
“Evidence available to Amnesty International suggests that there are insufficient troops deployed in the area, and that an absence of patrols and the failure to respond to warnings and engage with Boko Haram contributed to this tragedy,” said Osai Ojigho.
“The Nigerian authorities have failed in their duty to protect civilians, just as they did in Chibok four years ago. Despite being repeatedly told that Boko Haram fighters were heading to Dapchi, it appears that the police and military did nothing to avert the abduction.”
Osai Ojigho, Amnesty International’s Nigeria Director
Amnesty International gathered testimonies from multiple credible sources showing that the Nigerian army and police received multiple calls up to four hours before the raid on Dapchi, but did not take effective measures to stop the abduction or rescue the girls after they were taken by Boko Haram fighters.
The military withdrew troops from the area in January, meaning the closest personnel were based one hour’s drive from Dapchi.
Between 2pm and 6.30pm on 19 February, security forces received at least five calls warning them that the armed group was on the way to Dapchi.
The first call was made to the army command in Geidam, 54km from Dapchi, informing them that Boko Haram fighters had been seen at Futchimiram heading to Gumsa, a village about 30km from Dapchi. However, the evidence documented by Amnesty International shows that the military did nothing to engage with Boko Haram and ensure the protection of civilians.
Commander ‘aware of Boko Haram movement’ four hours before abduction
The sighting of an armed convoy at Futchimiram immediately sparked several phone calls to alert authorities. Sources who informed the military commander in Geidam at 2pm report that he responded to them by saying he was aware of the situation and was monitoring it.
At around 3pm, the convoy arrived in Gumsa, where they remained till 5pm. People in Gumsa called Dapchi villagers to warn them that Boko Haram fighters were on their way. One villager who received such a call said he informed a police sergeant who promised to notify the Dapchi Division Police Officer (DPO).
At around 6:30pm, when residents were heading to the mosque for evening prayers, Boko Haram members entered Dapchi. Witnesses said Boko Haram fighters asked for directions to the military post, the local government office and the girls’ school.
A police source in Dapchi told Amnesty International that officers fled because they feared the Boko Haram fighters would overpower them.
Government must investigate root causes of failure to respond
A source based in northeast Nigeria told Amnesty International: “All the military needed to do was send troops towards Gumsa from Geidam or Babban Gida, while telling its troops in Damasak, Kareto, Gubio and Magumeri to be on the lookout or be on patrol.”
A review of the Nigerian army’s actions by Amnesty International’s crisis advisor for military operations also concluded that the military’s response was woefully inadequate. The review took into consideration the locations of the soldiers and the time it would take to get to Dapchi, as well as the route taken by Boko Haram.
According to victims and eyewitnesses interviewed by Amnesty International, Boko Haram left Gumsa for Dapchi at around 5:00pm, arriving at around 6:30pm. They left Dapchi at around 7:30pm in the direction of Gumsa, where villagers say they arrived at around 9:00pm.
During the attack, army officials both in Geidam and Damaturu were again alerted. The military only arrived in Dapchi shortly after Boko Haram left.
Villagers in Dapchi and Gumsa said a military jet arrived about one hour after Boko Haram left Dapchi.
Six days after the abduction, on 25 February, a security meeting was held at the governor’s office in the state capital Damaturu attended by state and federal government officials, security chiefs, the military officials operating in the area and representatives from the school and parents. The authorities were aware that the military was notified at least four hours before the attack that suspected Boko Haram fighters were heading to Gumsa. No one appears to have asked why the military did not respond adequately or why there were not enough troops.
President Muhammadu Buhari subsequently ordered an investigation into the response to the abduction.
“The government’s failure in this incident must be investigated and the findings made public – and it is absolutely crucial that any investigation focuses on the root causes,” said Osai Ojigho.
Osai Ojigho
“Why were insufficient troops available? Why was it decided to withdraw troops? What measures has the government taken to protect schools in northeast Nigeria? And what procedures are supposed to be followed in response to an attempted abduction?”
Families of abducted girls left without any information
The abduction was followed by confusion. Initially, the authorities denied any girls were abducted, then the Yobe state authorities stated that the military had rescued the girls. But the girls did not return home, and on 22 February the state government confirmed the abductions.
One parent told Amnesty International: “That night we heard their voices when they were being taken, but there was nothing we could do. Everyone was scared. Boko Haram did not stay in the town for more than one hour.”
Parent
Another parent described how the girls’ relatives were not given any information until the following day, and had to wait outside the school to find out if their loved ones were safe.
“Many parents were hopeful that their daughters were inside. We stood there from morning till around 5pm in the evening, when they let the students out. It was at that point it dawned on me that my daughter was among those abducted,” he said.
Another parent whose daughter returned said: “Nobody told parents officially that their daughters were taken. While I was glad seeing my daughters, I felt bad for other parents whose daughters could not be found.”
No lessons learned from 2014 Chibok abduction
The response to this abduction has chilling similarities to the abduction of 276 schoolgirls in Chibok, Borno state in April 2014.
On that occasion, the military also had four hours’ advance warning but failed to take the immediate action needed to stop it, with most military personnel withdrawn shortly before the abduction.
Similarly, the abduction was followed by a climate of confusion and suspicion, which appeared to slow down the Nigerian authorities’ efforts to locate and free the abducted girls.
After the Chibok abduction, the military initially said that almost all the abducted girls had been rescued, but later had to retract that statement.
The authorities under President Goodluck Jonathan originally investigated Boko Haram’s responsibility for the Chibok abductions but never made the report public. In January 2016, President Muhammadu Buhari ordered another investigation into the government’s response to the Chibok abduction. This report was also never made public.
“Regrettably, no lessons appear to have been learned from the terrible events at Chibok four years ago. What happened in Dapchi is almost a carbon copy of what happened in Chibok, with the security forces failing to respond to warnings – and the same result for another hundred girls and their families,” said Osai Ojigho.
“All authorities must now work together to ensure the girls are brought home safely and this never happens again. This abduction is a war crime and those responsible must be brought to justice. As a first step, the two reports into the Chibok abductions should be made public.”
Amnesty International is calling on Boko Haram to immediately release the girls and all others in its captivity.
Background
A team of Amnesty International researchers visited Dapchi and interviewed 23 people, including girls who escaped, parents of the abducted girls, local officials and eyewitnesses, to document this abduction. They also interviewed three security officials.
The sources independently verified a list of Nigerian security officials who were alerted on 19 February, before and during the raid on the Government Girls Science and Technical College. They have been kept anonymous for their safety.
The sources and eyewitnesses in Dapchi confirmed that approximately 50 Boko Haram fighters arrived in Dapchi in a convoy of nine vehicles with Arabic inscriptions on them, seven Landcruiser trucks, one Hilux and a Canter truck.
