PoliticsRe: Ballot Box Snatcher Shot Dead By Soldiers In Akwa Ibom by IEJames(m): 5:45pm On Mar 09, 2019
It appears he wasn't afraid to die in the first place.
These guys are half-lobotomized goons... with cognition of their mortality thoroughly wiped.


Surely, every man shall give account of his earthly living.

At least by now, all men should have taken note of how resourceful a single bullet in a gun could be to death.

May God help my people.

Pathetic fatality!

Totally undeserving!

Barbaric!

I'm sure every hand that contributed to this thermo-cannibalism is already having it hot from his conscience.

No human has the right to take another's life.

I weep for my dear Akwa Ibom. Seriously, I have seen several humanoids of ignorance. In my ward, election days are literally days to egotistically relive pre-civilization with residual common sense at most.

Meanwhile
A blend of genuineness, Fanatism, greed, and imbalance in reasoning gave PDP an easy day with a more than 300 count difference at my Ikono LGA Ward 1 UNIT 005 polling center.

Believe me, democracy needs be modified to accommodate local variables.

Car TalkRe: Diesel Engine And Petrol Engine Which Do You Prefer by IEJames(m): 9:11am On Aug 24, 2018
» For high torque and efficiency demand, go for a diesel engine: Its compression ratio gives it that remarkable edge over the petrol engine.

» For low and sub-zero temperature conditions, the petrol engine beats it all: Its good vapour pressure makes it ready to combust at this downward extremes since combustion is what generates power from the engine. A diesel engine user would always encounter cold starting which could lead to plugging and pump damage in this condition.

» A diesel engine consumes less fuel. The hydrocarbon compounds in its make up are quite heavier, these compounds take more time to combust.

» Petrol engines are perpetual victims to knocking and pinking. This is due to premature ignition...
which happens when the highly volatile petrol percolates into the combustion chamber and ignites even before time.

» Vapour locking is an inherent issue with petrol engines. In hot conditions, it's possible for petrol to evaporate through the tubings, this makes for void spaces, raising the tendency for gases instead of fuel to find way into the combustion chamber. At this point, the oxygen to fuel ratio betrays the stoicheometric balance that would allow for combustion. Hence, hard starting sets in.

» Diesel,a.k.a AGO has shown from laboratory analysis to contain incombustible residues. This is what causes plugging and high carbon emissions to the engine members and environment respectively. Fossil emissions are not eco friendly in any way round.

» Diesel engines = very noisy, high compression and heavy side hits of pistons largely responsible.

» Temperate regions are better navigated with petrol engine cars.
Tropic countries wouldn't struggle over using diesel engines

» Well, if you own a car or truck tacked on hauling heavy loads, a petrol engine would definitely want you to attach an extra tank and secondary engine to make the journey.

Choose to suite your demand and pocketmetrics. Thanks.

Only Jesus can save! Call upon His name.

beethoven:
This is where I d say the coach was stupid. He should have played someone else instead of Mikel. Of all the players on the pitch that day, Mikel was the least motivated to continue playing in the world cup in Russia. Even if we had advanced, he would have flown back to Naija to sort out things.

While I dont blame him, he played most of his passes backwards. He could not motivate the team to hangon till the end. And to the people that kidnapped his dad, all doors to their success in life will be shut! unless they repent.
Bro I am just thinking: You know, in the realness of this world, not everyone will like you no matter how likeable you may be. Some will never like you not because of something overly disturbing about you, but because they'd personally dictated and assumed saintly standards to and for you to fail with.

That said, are you saying this out of sheer displeasure with Mikels performance at the ongoing world cup, or just inhabiting in the conduit of bias and hatred.

If your stance is the latter, you'd better come out!

Christianity EtcThe Reality Of Salvation -A True Life Story. by IEJames(op): 3:21am On Jun 23, 2018
+   Someone's story... +




" ...I had a lot of things then, including shyness and smallness.

I had reservations of timidity that could buy me all the failures in the world

I am not ashamed to say it was always a thing of joy to exempt myself from being bold for what was necessary...

With my rich equipage of fear, whenever life calls me on its stage, I would betray both grammar and logic.

I had an unyielding wisdom

A baseless integrity,

fruitless creativity,

I had abilities that were never going be true

I was secretly talented

I had speed at pursuing shadows

You could never beat me to deception

I had an inventory of false success

I had a mind full of doubt

I had breath taking skills at survival

I wasn't wild but full of rust and cracks! 


And at some point, I became the first from the bottom.


I lost e-ve-rything I had!

The specialists' therapies were also not working on me

I was going to be destroyed!


But just  then,



Salvation happened...

Christ picked me up in my pieces...

what used to be wrongfully precious, I lost it all to Christ!

The lost was much that I died... Then I came back... This time, bereft of what wasn't necessary in the first place.

Now I lack a lot of things, including shyness and smallness. I actually gave all my space to Jesus.

Because I have been occupied by someone so perfect.. I am now full of The holy ghost.

I have reservations of power that would command all the success in the world.

I am not ashamed to say it is always a thing of joy to assume boldness.

From my richer equipage of faith, I can move mountains without much grammar and logic.

I have a super yielding wisdom,

thick sincere integrity,

fruitful creativity,

I have the realest abilities.




I have speed to pursue, overtake and recover all that mattered and still matters.

I no longer need deception to feel secured

I own an immeasurable height of accruing success.

I have a mind full of possibilities.

He renewed my mind and refined me.
Now, I am the first and not the last.

I am not just living for the now,
I have eternal life in me.


I live in abundance!

Jesus gave it all to me


In presenting the biblical similitude of my story, Jude puts it thus :

24 Now to Him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you without blemish before the presence of glory with rejoicing,
25 to the only God, our saviour through Jesus Christ our lord be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time now and for ever. Amen.

This instantiates me and gives essence to my present stance.



You see, Life is basically lived through choice making. The most of it, aside from the naturals, being projections from wit-demanding, delicate decisions which would be crystallised into existential realities called choices.


We often sleep with these choices breeding in our very breadth, and still wake to commune with them.

Choices are intrinsic, essential and effectual in all sorts.
They can make and mar regardless of who is involved.
No matter ones destiny, story, caste and creed, a wrong choice doesn't spare, any more than a good choice doesn't deprive.

I had made choices in the past -the excellent, the good, the bad and the ugly ones.
I had literally cheated death a  couple of times whilst executing things for myself.

I kept on struggling just as so many in that miserable tide. This inherent business of choosing and deciding what should or could be as the case may be, distanced me from aptitude and glory.

Until I made just one more choice, that was going to take care of everything else.




'I chose Jesus'



In a sincere, active and genuine manner.

And then,

Being born of an incorruptible seed, He first gave me light and therein I found life!

I grew... step by step, The Spirit leaded and still leads me into my deep riches in Christ.

He exchanged my unproductive life with something more useful than all the gold in the world -His glorious life.

Now, I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me

His grace is ever sufficient

How did it happen?

I know of just two things :

I didn't only believe in him, I totally surrendered.

My dried-up bones received life when I sincerely surrendered them all to Him.

Today,

I am not just hopeful of His kingdom , I am useful to Him and to His entire kingdom.

Then I thought, ' If He has qualified me for His kingdom, what then can disqualify me on earth?


' What then can separate me from His love ?

' What would come in between me and His grace? '

NOTHING!
I say NO - THING!
Nothing today!
Nothing tomorrow!
Nothing forever!

He is my portion forever!

He is The King of kings, The Lord of lords, The redeemer The..
He is more than I know

Then since I have Him, I have more than I know. Wow! Hallelujah!

With Him, I would get to find out all of this one after the other. And as a rule, find out His daily will as He provides my daily bread.

With Christ, I can only keep getting better.

Guess what, He is everything

So I have everything, because I have Him.

With Him, I can't make mistakes again! Yes, Only with Him. He has made things that easy.

He spoke and still speaks for me when I can't!

He acts and sees the same! When I faint, He keeps me going.

All these for me?

Again and again, I would say, He is my portion forever.

After our first parents disobeyed God, man had lost his God assigned glory, and got his authority shared amongst creatures like snakes and situations like child-birthing. In a pathetically acquired fate, man resigned into limitless inadequacies. So much that he lost his grounds to sin and its banes.

But Jesus was there as the word that created all things. So He knows just how inadequate we are, hence He completes us by taking over us. Only when we choose Him.

He restores our authority at once, that we once again can tread upon serpents and scorpions and have mastery over life's situations as it used to be.

What a faithful God!

Choose Christ today, and every choice you'd make afterwards, will always be right.
There is no shadow of turning with Him.

King Jesus is faithful and merciful;
He is Lord forever "

PoliticsRe: Our Contract Awards Pass Through Due Process- Akwa-Ibom Govt by IEJames(m):
obi58:
Dear sir this is not about being unpatriotic. Every government is facing the same receding budget allocation compared to the previous GEJ era including Rivers State but still we are still seeing concerted transformation projects in a number of states like Rivers, Kaduna and Lagos to name a few.

Under the Udom administration truth be told, few expected him to match the massive strides in infrastructural development of his predecessor but he had one of the best foundations to consolidate on.

He has been unable to sustain even 30% of the infrastructural development pace of his predecessor, he has been unable to maintain the structures he met on ground, he is yet to complete any of the projects not completed by his predecessor and we are yet to see the impact of the so called dakada initiative in terms of job creation and entrepreneurial empowerment in terms of loans.

I must commend him for the dakada initiative though because our people have always believed in receiving cash gifts from people in government to working. That said, I'm yet to hear of state sponsored farms for example, or for supervised loans to budding Akwa Ibom entrepreneurs looking for investment.

In the Akpabio era we heard of the Ibom power plant. What is this government doing to maintain it and expand it's generation capacity as well as work on the power distribution network of the state knowing the key role power has to play in infrastructural development?

Instead we keep placing our hopes on one syringe factory here or one metering company there, placing all our hopes on private sponsorship without doing more to provide the enabling environment to provide that support.

Come to think of it, how many scholarships have been awarded by this government?

What has been done to improve the health sector in the state?

Bro we can only move forward when we are truthful to ourselves. THREE YEARS DON CARRY WAKA and we are still in planning phase. The honest truth is that our current allocation is still 10 times what some other states are collecting. Every day budding Akwa Ibom youths are leaving the state to other places in search of jobs elsewhere.

Udom CAN and SHOULD do more to move the state forward. Compared to Wike, his fellow PDP stalwart he has done nothing worthy of commendation. Being a technocrat I expected much more results from him but so far all we have heard are excuses and more excuses. Imagine something as basic as streetlights cannot be maintained! Then why am I not surprised that the 20th anniversary hospital is having issues?
Certainly he CAN. He has what it takes but not necessarily all it takes. The expanse of previously-unreached locations, in terms of government projection, has also been brought into the development radar in thick reality. Such realities costs lots of money to be worked out.

There is an emerging gumption from within the ministries to perform not because there is this tenet philosophy to keep up with, but because every bit of their efforts would count at the end of every month. This too survives on money.

It also cost ' monies ' and fortunes to see to it that at the end of every four weeks, a fair attempt is made for this spendings to be accounted for.


For the 20th anniversary hospital, I think he had inherited so many too-sacred-to-be-mentioned responsibilities; money, and destiny bounded ones for that matter. So much that he can't risk his dream for some illicit loyalty. Should he take one more thing off is pre-election vision to make room for one more inherited responsibilty, he would technically become a failure. Even at that, there is an excellent on-going effort targeted towards not only keeping the facility warm with activities, but also to raise the odds of making for its planetary relevance.

When making comparisons with other states, analyze their peculiar economic, social and political constants to see if there is any basis for matching both on the poles of changing priorities. We all know what weight of possibilities and options internally generated revenues brings to nigerian states who are predisposed to enjoy such. Lagos and Rivers belong in this bracket.


With the mixture of coverage that pre-to-colonial federal government sponsored investments, and federally attracted investors to keep citizens economically engaged whilst sucking human resources from other states into their public and private workforces, brings to this states,very little is left for their present day government to worry about. Taxation alone makes them well cushioned against blows of drop in oil price. In this states, even when allocations would drop, taxation maintains a steady influx.

I also wish to commend the effort of El Rufia in trying to bring Kaduna to a sudden limelight. It is all just a few miles from becoming what could lift them above the level of other states, to that of Rivers and Lagos states.

Udom's list is a melting pot of two visions. He has been hauling it for three years. That is enough success from a critical perspective. That is why he was lift-elected in the first place. He is a technocrat indeed, the quiet truths are altogether a prove. Continuity has always be touted for. We all know and are comfortable with the essence of continuity. Our past democratic administrations had laboured so much to take us this far. But then, he can't just become assume a sitcom role in his own leadership. Good enough, he isn't dumping any project to die. In his permutations as we've seen, every project of previous administrations naturally gets its chance when such listing is due.

This is just a scratch to a huge tonnage. He has the most of it under his throat- a lucid depiction of his democrat character. An unflinching patriot! Just like you....

I am really proud of you, not only because your wrapping words were suggestive of a pro-democracy citizen, you accommodate the balance and wit needed to pull unbiased criticisms. I hope that someday, your sort of persona would find its way to that top where matters are made and destroyed.

Sorry for thinking of you as being unpatriotic. Kuyad esid mbok!

Which industrialization?

Is it that shell of a syringe factory? Or the so called metering company that till tomorrow no one has even felt their impact in Eket talk less of the whole of Akwa Ibom?

Where are Jobs being created?

Where are the roads being built? Even streetlights in Uyo are no longer working because the contract for powering them has been stopped!

How many jobs has he created for the Akwa Ibom people?

Truth be told Akwa Ibom is still living in the past glory of the Akpabio era. Look at the massive strides Wike is making in Rivers state then you will understand the extent to which Akwa Ibom is now underperforming.

Udom has the potential to step up his game massively. He should do that before he can be celebrated.
..............................................................



With due respect bro, let's face the real thing:

» Do you care to know why the state's yearly budgets tend to be receding in figures in the Udom's era?

» Do you care to know that geographic industrialization is not a 3-year thing?

» Do you care to know that the 13% of oil revenue in Akpabio's administration is almost double of Udom's 13% ?

» Do you even care to know just about how much of the halved allocation had been and is still being spent on administrative deficit cancellations ?

» How about the sinister collateral bondings on Udom's inherited slate ? Don't you care that it might affect the prospects of industrialization as it has as yet done ?





Quit being this unpatriotic for whatever bias you are breeding on -that is if you are . Udom has a year and possibly another term left to strike a proportionality that would dazzle our history.

Aren't you happy he is this celebrated ?

I am grateful you are happy. Just like you, I love Akwa Ibom.

We rather should be praying for this man. You sure wouldn't want him to see him assume awfulness. Some states are decaying for this cause.

Check the records, for 19 years, relatively speaking, we've never experienced failure in governance. Indeed, Akwa Ibom is blessed.

In every sense, 2015 elections produced the most uninformed set of leaders on an even scaling. When information meant for public consumption aren't censored before dispensation, then there isn't any legalized basis to summon a neat response from people starved of basic understanding of these happenings. Usually, we are made blind to the truth by dint of these reports... but then, our senses are intact and fattening by the day...

Someday, the lime party Will end! yes.. and decency would take all the rein.

Dear youths, refine your accruing intent. The future would sure become more selective.. only to dirty domestic motives.
Don't stop praying for our common destination; our future. Social activeness can't change a thing! inclusiveness can! It isn't a privilege, It is a right.. it is our right.

Then eh, It is delicate enough to shrink in the mould of incompetence. The brunt would then permit an encore for the biting stale experience of the aged.

Nevertheless, it is our civic duty to distort the present flowing stream of impunity.
