Oga they are one

My mind went straight to SGF when I first saw "Grasscutter"

But why did we award N200m contract to cut grass when we have a wonderful creatures like this?

Op you just killed a prospective candidate for N200m contract

By 2019 we the masses with our voters card shall solve their dilemma






My vote shall be counted

Your vote will be counted quite alright.

Question is will your vote count?

Sometimes you have to inflate the prices due to constant change in price even after market survey is carried because it will be unwise to come back to inform your boss that the actual price you initially told him has changed.

Granted but if the price is lower shouldn't you return or declare the excess. If he then ask you to keep the balance so be it.

I just came to check the private jet belonging to Tboss's boyfriend

VivianUdeogu:
Tonye, I concur with your write up. As much as you have condemned the irate Ijaw Youths, I expect you to also condemn Tochukwu and his fellow Igbo ritualist.

As an Ada Igbo myself, I am really troubled with the way Igbo youth are getting involved in Ogwu Ego. This has nothing to do with tribalism. We Igbos should tell ourselves the bitter truth.

Chai !! Nsogbu Dikwa !!

Nne your head dey there. Thumbs up

Organs:
Bigots all over the place. You guys protesting as well as CAN should google the countries participating, Cameroun, Burkina Faso, Egypt, Uganda, Cote D'ivoire, Sierra Leone etc. Also,non-muslims participate in the tournament, so where did you guys see "Strictly for Muslim Countries"? Our bigotry and ethnicity and hatred is killing us. All these mofos shouting up and down here, if Saudi Petroleum or Dubai or Malaysian Govt should offer them a mouth watering job now now dem go pack themselves and family go there sharp sharp, you will not hear anything "Islam" but now they are here talking nonsense. Keep kwayetiii make i hear word abeg.

I can refer you to a link. An oil job in Syria. I'm sure you and your family will be willing to relocate there. Mouth watering job is not enough to surrender my religious freedom.

You seem to value money above your convictions and that is the weakness being exploited by the Islamic world to draw African secular states to OIC. Why is US, Britain, Germany, Russia not there or is it only for African countries? Wake up and smell the coffee bro.

Trump signed a travel ban the other day. Nigerians were shouting Ugandan saying America is implementing Muslim ban. But it's right for those same countries to coerce all their citizens into Islam using the constitution and power of state. Let's stop the hypocrisy.

Nigeria is neither a Christian nor Muslim state and we'll stand against any agenda to portray us as either. We will divide this country first before amending that section that guarantees Nigeria as a secular state.

Those pushing religious supremacist agenda should take note.

bonifieldstun:
[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font][i][/i]well constitutionally Nigeria is an Islamic state the constitution has Sharia court of law in it, Islam is mentioned 32 times in it, no Christian or Jesus Christ or church in it so what do you expect, sometime I wonder how I take land for Naija self, sick country full of healthy pple

Even if Sharia and Islam is mentioned a million times it doesn't change the fact that Nigeria is a secular state. We will break this nation first before that section is amended. Until then OIC and Islamic sports federation should park well. CAN is on point

thesicilian:
In the spirit of tolerance and peaceful coexistence, Nigerians should allow the country to participate in both Christian and Muslim festivals and sports.

Except I've never heard of a Christian solidarity games. Have you?

PapaBrowne:
South East is a geographical location. It is not a people. In all the regions, you have people of all creed & persuasions, tribes and nationalities contributing one way or the other. I think everyone would agree that Igbos are the biggest contributors to the development of other regions.

However, a big and sincere question must be asked? Why are Igbos with all the wealth and power they control very unwilling to invest in the south east? It surely isn't enough to build mansions and hotels in our villages. Building a strong economic base is what is essential and entirety of Igbo must ignore whatever ploy or machination they feel the FG plots against them, and come together to construct an ambitious workable blueprint for its development. The time for whining is over. The people of SE are too rich to keep expecting crumbs from the FG.


As per what the states have on ground to show for the IGR, well if you look at those figures, you'd realise that the states with higher IGR usually end up with better infrastructure than those with less.Plus the faster the can wean off the FG's feeding bottle, the more likely their development would be hastened. Look at whats happening with Lagos!

Intelligent comment sir.

I like the FG feeding bottle and weaning part. So funny but true

Easy to see why they were tagged "medically unfit"

They are all from the south. Does that mean that nobody was medically unfit from the north? No Abubakar, or Mohammed on this list. Hmm...

If they were tested independently by a government hospital and certified OK then this sounds more like "Ethnically unfit" to me.

PapaBrowne:
5 South South states are in the top 11.
1. Lagos
2. Rivers
3. Ogun
4. Delta
5. Kano
6. Akwa Ibom
7. Edo
8. Oyo
9. Kwara
10. Kaduna
11. Cross River

The SE is is doing terribly in IGR. Ogun state witnessed an impressive increase. Same as Kano.

How can you say SE is doing terribly when they are the ones DEVELOPING all these states listed above?
If you want your state IGR to increase, just welcome more DEVELOPERS to your state.

Meanwhile I see all the billions alright but what visible impact can you see on ground in our various state? Honest assessment please

Nigerian teachers will ask you to write an essay about "A day you will never forget"

NwamaziNwaAro:

Dear Femi,

Buhari will resign when you drop a hit.


Thank you


Yours Sincerely,
The Presidency.

In grass cutter's voice; "who is the presidency? "

nnol:
heard yesterday frm a reliable source dat bubu has finally agreed to resign,he has already informed the three former head of state(Obasanjo,Abdulsalami and IBB) and dat was the reason they held a meeting in niger state,obasanjo insisting for kwankwaso to be vp to osibanjo wen bubu nd abdulsalami insisting fr tambuwal to be vp to osibanjo wen bubu resign,bubu officially letter to be read on may 29.

Hmm ......that your source sef

rose54321:
Well in all fairness to him, the Deputy Attorney General just got confirmed, in fact the Senate (the democrats majorly) have delayed most of Trumps appointees, this time with Obama over 70% of all nominees had been confirmed. The recommendation for Comey sack was written by the Ag. forwarded to Jeff Sessions and endorsed by Trump, so technically the delay could be as a result of this.

Anywho i agree sha that the diplomatic way would have been to discontinue his tenure in January when Trump assumed office, but regardless the public has lost confidence in Comey anyway, this was bound to happen.
I trust the Democrats will use this to their advantage, funny that Chuck Schumer who was calling for Comey's removal is now protesting the same.

You are on point Bro.

Comey testified under oath that he believed Hillary lied and leaked sensitive emails vital to national security. He recommended prosecution for Michael flyn for lying under oath about Russia connection but would not recommend same for Hillary Clinton who did worse.

Comey should know better. The head of FBI should be non partisan, fair and unbiased. There has been more noise about Trump-Russia but no one is asking how flyn was unmasked and who leaked the information to the Washington Post. Comey, saly Yates and Obama NSA have alot of explaining to do.

Anyway na naija I dey. How far with Ameachi matter?

chara019:
some Nigerians be acting like Dumbos,arguing over her state of origin,what does it tend to contribute to their life? if she is Igbo or yoruba or itskiri does it change anything? y'all just promoting hate and envy.
I tire for this country sef....

Congratulobia to you jawe.God help us all to grow in success too.Amen.

Most sensible comment on this thread so far.

Instead of seeing this as a challenge and evaluating your own progress, people are busy tracing her state of origin and tribe. Na WA O

Mcowubaba:
All this Tribal wars we keep fighting, that's what makes us weaker.
Yesterday it was labeled Edo Prostitute, some days ago it was Yoruba ritualist, today is Igbo drug dealer.

The elites in this Country survive and thrive based on the religious and tribal sentiments in the Country.

We will be shouting IPOB vs AFONJA, while a Politician in Enugu is planning on how to embezzle money with the help of a fellow Politician in Gombe and Osun state.

It's really a pity, why I have never complained of Racism is based on the fact that my own Country is very tribal and bigoted.
Why will I be offended if a Ukrainian man calls me Monkey when my fellow Countrymen call me worst names.

Funny enough, most Nigerian immigrants are usually very united, I remember those days, we always gat each others back, watching out for your BROTHERS (fellow Nigerian), giving them info on new immigration laws, jobs and opportunities etc
Now,
It's really very shameful and sadistic, what Nigeria has turned out to be, an average Igbo person on Nairaland is cautious of a Yoruba person and vice versa.

Initially I thought tribal bigots were all Uneducated or illiterates, but I was very wrong, we have very educated and rich bigots in Nigeria.

The hostility is so repulsive.
No Nigerian living in Diaspora should complain about Racism, we don't have the moral standing as a Country.

The current President of Nigeria, fueled the Tribal and Ethnic Tension to an extreme level, I hate BUHARI, I won't lie about that, I don't wish him well. He is a deranged old fool, I don't hate or detest any Politician like I hate that Daura piglet

This is not tribal, I love people from his tribe, but Buhari himself is a definition of stupidity.
How can a President be this Useless, it's unacceptable

A truck load of complaint will only leave you more frustrated. If you are outside the country and you complain this much then I wonder what people like us would do.

Support restructuring. Let's practice true federalism. Let all geopolitical regions be independent with each region contributing to the centre from its own resources. Let's have a ceremonial President and a deligate single national assembly house without the jumbo pay. Slash political office holders salary to emphasize service and not money/power. Amend the constitution to accommodate referendum and independent candidature for people seeking election.

I personally think that any presidential candidate in 2019 must make a commitment to kick start the process of restructuring this country. The present setup is rigged and doomed to fail.

The open display of nepotism in appointments, resource allocation and government policies will never promote mutual trust. You can't ask people to shun their ethnic and religious differences while promoting Your Own ethnic and religious supremacist agenda

Youths!!! Face reality and stop deceiving yourselves.

CioAngels:
But VIO is a Federal Government Body, so can state chase them out of the Road? It is a dificult time we are in now, but let us try to reduce the smoke that pumps out from our cars. Some of our tyres are death traps and also our side mirrors are missing, if VIOs are still doing their job as it should be, i think is for the good of all of us.

Are you a staff of VIO?

Cattle too need bsc ni?

Happy Born Day guy

MayorofLagos:
I continue to hammer on this issue for past two years. God forbid if Buhari passes, that the Northerners will agree to submit to Osinbajo leadership.

Osinbajo is not sorrounded with class and authority, at all!

Presidency comes with tradition and culture and in Nigeria Yoruba are the fashionistas, we command couture taste. In traditional Yoruba culture Osinbajo is not dressed formally in this picture. This appearance diminishes the grandeur that should naturally associatr with his office and role.

Imagine the VP of a western country coming out in ordinary shirt and tie, no suit...and does that everyday and wherever he goes and regardless of the occassion. The equivalent of that image is what Osinbajo does when he comes out in this taxi driver attire.

Now, who is that guy behind him in blue kaftan? It just gets worse!! In his case picture President of Nigeria visiting the West and the assistant to their President appears in the office with just shirt, no tie, no suit. Thats what we have here. Na.k.ed!! No style, just dry!

Very irritating! Tasteless, classless, devoid of any appeal...just dry!

I don't get your point sir.

White men invented suite and tie and they value it- it's like their native attire.

We have our native wears and you don't value it?

PapiSmith:
It's called sex education you bloody illiterates

Most of you never had one so I am not surprised

Then it should be a subject on its own. The whites we are trying so hard to copy have it as a separate subject in their curriculum. So is this social study text book or sex education text book?

ExplorerReturns:
@eastwalk and ODVanguardoung you must be foolish to claim that port Harcourt is owned by ijaws. porthacourt is pure Igbo land and the satellite city and expansion is obigbo which is still Igbo land.

we already know that Yoruba land is landlocked. Lagos coastlines is owned by the binis and history support this while Ogun and ondo is owned by ilajes which is an ijaw sub group known as apo ijaws. you guys used population and political influence to carve this people into Yoruba land shame on you!!!!!




ogbomosho man you started looking for trouble when you fell into a thread meant for Igbo's like your oduduwa and started spilling trash. will anybody have talked of Lagos if not for your mischievous and Hippocratic claim. what concerns port Harcourt and Yoruba's? allow Igbo's who the thread concerns to comment but you carried your bile into this place.

you should have been more concerned why amadioha kicked out oduduwa from the sky.

NB it is also my fault that the oba of Lagos denied any affiliation with the Yoruba's

Portharcourt igbo land? Please tell that to wike

cogbuagu:
I'm an Uber Driver.
When I hard the news saying 40% fare cut down with out Uber them self cutting down their own 25% commission. I was like I'm finished and done driving under uber platform .

Is nothing but slavery.
Again Uber is greedy
Let us now look into it using my corolla


I covers average of 120 to 180 miles very day making 12 to 20k a day.
From that earning i Buy 4 to 5k fuel every day.

Now with this 40% reduction in fare i get mors riders as if it's Xmas season.
But now cover 200 to 250 miles a day.
Earn 8 to 13k a day, buy fuel of 7k daily

Here are the changes.
After a full day of hard serious driving I go home with like 4k. Well looking into it, 1k plus is toll paid.

And I have stressed my car almost times 2 of what I normally do.
That means increase in mantaince cost.


Uber is all about offering riders 5 star services.
With this fare reduction u are not happy and can't offer this 5 star services.

Uber promised 5k weekly if u drive 70 hours weekly
Tell me how can one drive 10 hours daily for 7 days just to get 5k bonus.

We drivers and partners don't want your bonus.
If you most cut fare by 40% cut your commission or app charge to 5%

Your 25% weighs too high!!
We don't need your bonuses because 70% of drivers can't meet it
Simply cut your commission to 5%

Imagine I picked up a rider from prime waters lekki to Oniru. Uber charges N455 Naira. The man shouted saying your phone is not working.
He gave me 1k said I should keep change.
I told told him that uber offers 40% fare reduction now.
Guess his response?

"This is slavery"

Well explained. Now I understand. Uber should reduce its commission biko

Biko where is Ali modu sheriff? Has he joined APC?
An opposition party that cannot oppose anything. Is that one an opposition?

The makarfi faction looks to me like the real Pdp. Sheriff faction is APC annex.

Nice pictures... But the lady's knuckles tho

And here the minimum age to vie for president or governor is 40. Can you see the reason why Africa is backward?

Congratulations to Macron and the French people

I am an intelligent man, with a functioning brain, who doesn't need a fraudster in robe to give me his failed views of that same holy book, every Sunday.
If you want to remain in the dark, then its all on you, religious sheep.

Let me copy what these highly respected men did, since it is/was NOT a sin



Here we have another ignorant sheep who has NEVER read the bible.
Abraham had extra marital sex with Hagar and Keturah, who he was NOT married to..... Thus a confirmed fornicator!



These guys had sex with mistresses, baby mamas and slaves that they were not married to.... Yet not viewed/punished as sinners by god. CASE CLOSED!!!!

The discussion is not about who is intelligent or not.
And for the record intelligent people don't insult other people's intelligence to drive home their point. If you say you have a functioning brain good for you.

I will not be drawn into fruitless argument with your lot. My message is the same as the last one. Read again in case you missed it in rush to belittle my intelligence :

People will still believe what they want to believe.

Go ahead. Keep fornicating. You alone are responsible for your actions.

You may want to beat Solomon's record while you are at it.

A dog that is destined to get lost will never hear the Hunter's whistle
