Who the Gods want to destroy they first make mad.

Good morning house, how many of us use to observe this during the day time from 11:00 AM there about till like 8:00 PM. The website freezes take time to load the front page and if you click any post on the front page, it will skip the pictures before loading, opening them bit by bit.

I am calling on the attention of the Administrators to look into it. I feel the website needs an overhaul, it's a very good portal with lots of information but at this stage an overhaul is needed.

Tech witch

Actress, singer and dancer, Cossy Ojiakor, has said it is rather unfortunate that some people think prostitutes would not make heaven.

In an interview with Saturday Beats, she said, “I know that a lot of women look down on themselves because of the way they dress. They think they are destined for hell and that, God cannot forgive. I like to dress like them (such women) on Instagram and preach, so they would know that God forgives everyone. I just want to be a beacon of hope for all those that have lost hope. I have been with some ‘men of God’ and I know what they do. Some of them are devilish. They sleep with strange girls and dabble into unimaginable things. Sadly, some people still fight for those type of individuals. A reverend father once grabbed my boobs and offered me money for sex. I also used to introduce a lot of girls to a pastor who owns a big church. I have a good heart and try not to hurt people. I think I’m an upright person, so i want people to know that they can get close to God and be forgiven. Moreover, Jesus came for sinners.”

Ojiakor also revealed that though she wishes to get married soon, she would not change her lifestyle to suit her husband. She said, “I want to settle down but I am not in love with any man at the moment. As a matter of fact, I may end up adopting a child, instead of having a baby for a man I am not in love with. I do not intend to change my life because of marriage. Nothing will stop me from being Cossy. My husband has to take me the way I am. I can only stop because of God and not because of any human being.

“My relationship with my ex-lover went sour because we allowed too many people to have a say in the relationship. Both of us are on talking terms and I have asked him why he said some false things about me on Instagram. He told me he had deleted the false claims from his page. When I leave a man, I do not try to go back to him. I try to leave in peace and avoid being enemies with my past lovers. I guess he was just trying to get attention. I think he did that to me because he was still mad at me.

“We had a little misunderstanding and the rule was that if one party offended the other, the guilty person would do a frog jump. I also do it when I am wrong. However, he refused to do the punishment when he erred because his friends told him not to. But I have forgiven him.”

That's the first and proper steps to take before vaccinating the governor self. But wait is it not this the same vaccine that over 8 nations have withdrawn? Or is this a new one?

Myer:
You nailed it.
We all know it will eventually come to this.
Even Pounds might still hit 1000naira to a pound. And over 500naira to a dollar.

Our govt don't see anything wrong in all these increments cos most of them get fuel allowance. Besides they believe other countries are paying more.

They do not factor in the dynamics between such countries and Nigeria.

Ghana for example has ensured that there's stable electricity which means you don't have to worry about fuel price for generators except you're a car owner. Also Ghana is not among OPEC.

Dubai and other countries which our govt likewise compare Nigeria to have stable electricity and alternative means of transport where the masses don't feel the impact of the fuel price.

Unlike Nigeria, where nothing works.
Only few locations have stable electricity.
The transport system is so bad that if you're not careful you'll spend more fuel driving through traffic.

God bless your mama, preach my brother preach. The painful part of it is that these are not on Nairaland. To see what their people are saying.

President Buhari
Damn it worked oh! Seun cracking us up this morning.

CC: Lalasticlala come and see something first.
Are they really broke?

Spokesperson of the House of Representatives, Hon. Benjamin Kalu, has said that the National Assembly, particularly the Green Chamber was in dire straits and needed its annual budgetary allocation jerked up.

Addressing Journalists on Thursday in Abuja, Kalu said that giving the national parliament a raise was necessary to enable it to serve the Nigerian people effectively and efficiently.

Vanguard’s investigations revealed that at the moment, the two chambers of the National Assembly have a budget of N128 billion annually to cater for all staff, legislative aides and all other agencies under them.

Kalu in his assertion said the funds were grossly inadequate, adding that it was ironical that an institution that appropriates enough funds for Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) was itself underfunded.

He said that the House was owing contractors who provided some essential services to it.

“The House is broke, I have said it before and I am saying it again and I am not afraid to say it. The House is broke and it is afraid to appropriate the sufficient amount for them to do their job. That is why today, here (briefing room) is hot. That is why the hearing rooms are not fixed. That is why the House is indebted to contractors who provide one form of service or the other. This is a fact.

“Until Nigerians believe that the appropriation that was made for the running of the National Assembly which happened when Naira was 160 to the dollar is less now than what it used to be. The dollar equivalent of naira today has gone up to over N400. The purchasing power of the budget as it is now is weaker than it was 10 years ago.

“The budget of the National Assembly is supposed to be reviewed, in view of its purchasing ability, of the services that will help the parliament to move forward. At the moment, it is a weak budget and that is the truth. I have actually fought with the leadership of the House and I have asked the question, ‘Why are you afraid to raise the budget of the National Assembly that will enable us to conduct our services efficiently and effectively?’ We appropriate for agencies to run effectively, yet we are in penury to our own constitutional mandate. It is a disservice to Nigerians; the poor budget of the parliament is a disservice to Nigerians.

“Let us be fair in our analogy; let us wear the right spectacles when we analyse and you will find out that this N128bn budget of the National Assembly, that is divided among all the agencies of the National Assembly; that is divided among all the staff – over 3000 to 6000 members of staff; that is divided among all the aides, five aides per lawmaker. Sometimes, people wonder if we really need those aides.

“So, if you ask me 20 times, whether the National Assembly is broke until they improve the budget of the National Assembly, I will say, ‘Yes, we are broke”, he said.

Nothing from this regime shock me anymore. If anything still dey shock you then you are a hypocrite, you are only deceiving yourself.

Okay oh! APC just continue to do anything you like, 2023 is just around the corner. We will manage una till that time.

Gbam! We move

APC! CHANGE!!!

The Nigerian government has increased the pump price of petrol to N212.61 a litre, less than two weeks after assuring the nation there would be no hike.

The Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency (PPPRA) announced late Thursday that the retail price for a litre of petrol for the month will be between N209.61 and N212.61.

The ex-depot price, which is the amount sold by fuel depot owners to marketers, will be N206.42, while the landing cost stands at N189.61 per litre, the agency said.

The announcement comes amid a partial scarcity of fuel that has lingered for weeks. There had been concerns the government, which says it has deregulated the sector and no longer pays subsidy, would raise rates as crude oil prices have seen a rebound in the global market.

The state-owned NNPC, which regulates the sector and is the sole importer of refined petrol, however, assured there was no such plan for February and March.

On March 1, the NNPC said in a statement by its Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division, Kennie Obateru, that contrary to speculations of imminent increase in the price of petrol in the country, there would be no increment in the ex-depot price of petrol in March.

It said, “the Corporation was not contemplating any raise in the price of petrol in March in order not to jeopardize ongoing engagements with organized labour and other stakeholders on an acceptable framework that will not expose the ordinary Nigerian to any hardship.”

PREMIUM TIMES reported Wednesday that the scarcity in Abuja, Lagos and other cities was caused by depot owners hoarding the product, and raising prices in anticipation of a hike by the government.

The new prices are expected to promptly impact on cost goods and services with inflation at a three-year high, making it harder for more people to afford food and other basic needs.

The family of an Ikorodu-born business mogul, Alhaji Lookman Onabanjo, popularly known as “Bugon” has been thrown into panic, following his abduction, Monday, at Agbowa area of Ikosi-Ejirin Local Council Development Area of Lagos State.

He was kidnapped alongside his driver and three others, while on their way to his farm in Ota.
The kidnap was carried out by eight gunmen with seven AK-47 rifle and one submachine gun.

The businessman owns companies among which is Bugon Oil and Gas, Bugon Autoland and Bugon Farms.
Vanguard gathered that three of the victims were released after some hours.

According to one of the freed victims, the gunmen made them trek for two hours until they got to a thick bush, where they were held.

A family source, who pleaded anonymity, told our correspondent that the kidnappers demanded N100 million as a ransom for their release, adding that the amount was still being negotiated.

The source said family and sympathisers were negotiating for N10 million while the kidnappers insisted on N100 million

When Vanguard visited the house of the victim located in Ota-Ona area of Ikorodu, it was under lock and key.

Similarly, Vanguard was at his defunct gas station where sympathisers were brainstorming on how to raise the ransom for the release of the victims.

A source in the neighbourhood said some other victims, who had been kidnapped alongside the businessman, allegedly paid N15 million and an extra N5,000 as ransom for their release.
The source said: “The N5,000 was added when they threatened that if the N15 million was incomplete both victims would be killed.

“The ransom was collected at Emuren Pipeline area before the victims were released. They came out of a bush near Adama.

The source said Imota, where the unfortunate incident happened, shares a boundary with Ogun State, where criminal activities thrive.

It would be recalled that a staff of the Ikeja Local Government in Lagos State, Mr Shamsideen Omotayo, was kidnapped by unknown gunmen on Agbowa-Imota Road, near Ikorodu in August 2017.

Similarly, a businessman was kidnapped in the axis some years back and released after a ransom of N2 million was paid.

At press time, Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, promised to get back to this reporter on the development.

May his soul rest in peace...

The schoolgirls abducted from Government Girls Secondary School, Jangebe, in Talata Mafara local government area of Zamfara State yesterday narrated their harrowing experience while in the bandits’ den.

The 279 girls, who were abducted from their hostels in the early hours of last Friday and regained their freedom yesterday, said the criminals asked them (the girls) to marry them while others requested that they should teach them the English language.

The girls who arrived at the Zamfara State Government House in Gusau early yesterday wearing face masks and light blue and brown chadors had breakfast before visiting the hospital for checks before reuniting with their families.

The abduction of the girls on Friday was the latest in a series of school abductions witnessed in the country in the past three months.

Announcing their release, the state governor, Bello Matawalle, pegged the actual number of the students abducted against the 317 earlier given by the police.

Matawalle said no ransom was paid to secure their release, adding that the students were returned very healthy.

According to him, 30 repentant bandits were involved in the negotiations that led to the eventual release of the schoolgirls.

Recounting what they went through in the hands of the criminals, the schoolgirls said the bandits asked them to marry them, while others sought to be taught the English language.

A JSS 2 student, Hauwa’u Yusuf, said they were forced to trek for several hours and stopped intermittently under trees to rest for a while.

According to Hauwa, they trekked to a big ditch where all the schoolgirls were parked in.

On feeding the abductees, the abducted minors lamented that they were given a handful of rice to eat for the four days of the abduction.

One of the girls, Habiba Iliyasu, said she saw her father and elder sister in the kidnappers’ den, but her father warned her not to show that she is related to him or else they would be killed.

“He signaled to me not to recognise him or my sister or else they would all be killed. My colleagues who got to understand that he is my father also asked me to heed his warning,” she recounted.

Also, one of the abductees, Hunainatu Abubakar, said the abductors had asked them to pray for them to become good citizens.

“They ridiculed us, called us many bad names, threatened to kill us and then later, they asked us to pray for them to become good citizens and that we should teach them English language so that they could speak in English.

“We prayed for them but they said they did not have time to learn anything. They also asked those who either are from Kaduna or whose parents are policemen or military officers to step out but those whose parents are security men refused to be identified.

“They also threatened to rape us but their leader, Kasalle, warned them against that. They always added sand to our foods and only allowed us to dig for water with our fingers at a dry pond.”

On whether she would continue with her education, Hunainatu who answered in the affirmative, however, said she would go back to Kaduna where she came from and continue her education at a day school in order to fulfill her dream of becoming a lawyer.

“Some of the bandits even asked if we would marry them but none of us responded and so they said they would be looking for those with big eyes and kill them, to which we all lowered our gazes,” she added.

Asked if she could trace the bandits’ hideout, Hunainatu said, “Though we were taken at night through the back of our school, l believe l can trace the location where we were taken and l can still remember their faces if l see any of them”.

She also corroborated the story of Habiba Iliyasu who said she saw her biological father who was kidnapped over three months ago but that the man cautioned them against showing that she is her daughter to avoid being killed.

She said most of them returned with wounds and swollen legs because they were asked to leave their shoes on the day they were abducted.

Hunainatu said that they slept in the open while in captivity only to go into hiding along with the criminals whenever they heard the sounds of helicopters on rescue mission.

One of the parents, Akilu Mayanchi, said since the incident occurred last Friday they have been spending sleepless nights praying.

“This is a terrible situation, though we appreciate the efforts of the governor in the rescue of the students, but I’m planning to move out of Zamfara State and to another area,” he added.
