Jobs/Vacancies / Re: N150k Job In Lagos Vs N120k Job In Ibadan Which Is Better? by IME1: 8:13pm On Mar 18, 2021
@adanny01
@Businext

Exactly, all jobs are important. I once greeted a man 'good morning sir' then his driver passed behind him I said again 'good morning sir' the oga looked at me and was like how can you greet me and my driver the same way. But I said ah sir, your driver is not my mate nor my driver, I've to greet him with sir too. The man realised that that man who he demeans as a driver is someone's uncle, father, even boss kpakpa... he may have a shop where he has an attendant he pays or even his personal car he gives another person to drive for him. So he too na boss cool So please let's not look down on any job, salary amount or location of work. People have to work in Dutse as they do in Ikoyi, they have to work in Ughelli as they do in Abakaliki so op pray let God direct you please.
Meanwhile any one you reject, help link a NLder here to take it up as they are some who'd be glad to accept the job offer you're rejecting please. Thanks in advance

Politics / Re: Hijab Crisis: CAN Hasn’t Learnt From History, Says MURIC by IME1: 1:25pm On Mar 18, 2021
I deliberately did not read anyone's comment so I can make a clear opinion.
There is so much hate.
No wonder you hear how a passenger will fight with a conductor over N20, the same N20 he can dash a beggar on the street.
The same way a woman can kill another woman just because her man flirts with her.
The same way a cult boy can kill his blood brother who belongs to another cult.
The same way an entire building can be razed down because the owner is of another faith! Building oh! Paint, roof, fittings, labour, cement, all, gone down!

Love is not a bad thing oh, let's live and let love.

I went to public schools right from creche to the apex of education in different parts of Nigeria, my beloved country. I've had the privilege to teach and I've taught Muslims who wore hijack and it didn't bother me, I didn't even take note cause I see people not what they wear or who they are, be Buhari's child, I'll treat you like I'll treat a civil servant's child. Be you my tribesman or church member, you would be treated the same.
All my years in public school I never had my Muslim classmates and schoolmates wear hijab. They wore headgears at best. Even at a time they were Lebanese in my school, they were not allowed either. Also the female Indians were also not allowed to leave their hair long, they cut them like the Nigerian females in my school. The sky didn't fall. It is a school. After school anyone could do whatever, wear mufti if you like. Uniform was so strict. Please we all know the issue is not hijab, it's just an entrance to ferment more trouble.
Please someone should tell me how the hijab issue was resolved in ISIbadan and ISLagos? These are public schools. Mind you in my time in the Polytechnic, Sokoto state, (not as their student though) I noticed the non-Muslim females also covered their hairs. I've seen Muslim students in Anambra, Delta, Ondo and Ekiti cover their hairs. That means that wherever they are they are not "forced" to be like their hosts. But Christians are sometimes forced to dress like their hosts.
This shade of Islam is not what we grew up with.
Many agitating for these extremism in Islam don't even follow the 5 pillars of Islam or read or know the tenets of Islam. They just listen to anyone who calls himself sheikh or imam and get wrongly indoctrinated.
This also happens in Christianity where people who have not opened their Bibles begin to shout and talk falsehoods anyhow that 'my pastor said! my pastor said!'

I tire.

Politics / Re: APC Senators Block Bill To Make Appointment Of Service Chiefs Independent by IME1: 12:50pm On Mar 18, 2021
undecided when I watched the debate I felt sad for Abaribe. The way the 2 chambers work is that lobbying, party interest, tribal and religious interests hold sway.
Now Abaribe may have a very good motion or bill, but where he doesn't have any of the above mentioned, he would have no support and the erstwhile bill or motion will die.
(Sadly his eastern people have no bloc, unity or ideology to pursue or preserve.
Abaribe usually stands alone.
Without recourse to his personal past or tribe, try listening to some of his motions and bills and you'd see that he makes a whole lot of sense mostly.)
When it became rowdy, the press were asked to leave for about 20 minutes.
When the press returned, Abaribe announced that he was withdrawing the bill totally.
Whether he had been bullied, threatened or mocked I don't know.
But people like Abaribe who may have good, dispassionate and genuine bills should be able to sleep well at night knowing at least that they tried.
Somethings are just not worth fighting or crying for.
When Lawan asked for the voice vote and the nays had it, I just realised that many people in the Senate are just there to add numbers to the destruction of the country.
As an aside we all know that children below 18 years in the north are registered by INEC and eventually vote on election days, thereby increasing the numbers needed to win.
So also politicians who plant their people in key positions (eg Jaga, IBB and Hau/Ful) and their followers (the ones moving on top of trailers) in different areas are doing so when it's time to vote, support or get a general opinion from every nook and cranny, they will get majority.
Finally as an aside it is gravely insulting, annoying and ridiculous that whenever anyone here on NL says or stands against APC they are automatically tagged PDP or ipods. That's just callous and ludicrous to be civil.
It is annoying that anyone who says the truth you don't like is your enemy.
Many of us are not allied to any party nor are we Hausa, Yoruba or Igbo... angry live with it, Nigeria is greater than any one tribe or political party!

Crime / Re: A Nigerian Cocaine Trafficker Jailed For Nine Years, Fined €10,000 In Malta by IME1: 5:40am On Mar 18, 2021
Jesus’ presence in our hearts fills us with countless reasons for gratitude (Colossians 2:6–7).
He brings the ability to live with purpose and energy (1:28–29).
He cultivates joy in our hearts in the midst of all circumstances, in both times of celebration and times of struggle (Philippians 4:12–13).
Christ’s Spirit provides hope to our hearts that God is working all things together for good, even when we can’t see it (Romans 8:28).
And the Spirit gives a peace that persists regardless of the chaos swirling around us (Colossians 3:15).
- our daily bread

Say no to vices, evil and addictions

JerkyChan:
You can go ahead and crucify the other service chiefs but please leave former Chief of Air Staff SB Abubakar alone. That baba did well. Not saying he is a saint though, but he really made significant strides in the Nigerian Air Force. Honor should be given to whom it is due.

I agree with you the man did well for the airforce, at least from what NL kept pushing to front page oh.
But I just realised that the difference between Boko Haram and the Nigerian defence as a whole is in Nigeria's Air power.
Boko Haram to my knowledge have no air power or artillery to gun down helicopters or drones.
The air force alone with less man power could have long ended this war if government is sincere.

Celebrities / Re: Pete Edochie Advises Women Against Leaving Their Cheating Husbands (Video) by IME1: 8:16pm On Mar 15, 2021
A great man in the media industry, associated with Village Headmsaster, also an ambassador, born in 1935, though now late once shared his experience with his wife.
He said she used to smoke so he too started to smoke so as to discourage her from continuing. But he said she didn't get the reversed psychology and didn't stop. She died long before him and kicked the habit even before her demise.
His point was that, reverse psychology or joining a loved one do something to change them DOES NOT WORK 90%!

...sadly, your spouse may have a stronger and healthier body than you if you say you want to follow him or her to drink, smoke, club or other negative habits you weren't into before you both married. You may die before your spouse, he or she may eventually stop and for you, paradise lost

While smoking and drinking may not be regarded as outright sin, their effects on you may lead to sin and definitely debilitating health which in my opinion is sin against your 'possible' length of life (you shorten it by your own hands when you have the habit of smoking and drinking alcohol 5%, 10%, 15% alc. vol).

Lastly, adultery is a sin before God and offence in law. It must never be subtly or out rightly encouraged. Be satisfied with your husband and wife. You had a choice. You had time to choose. You had options. That condom can fail and he bring home to you an STD, STI or love child not to mention the reign of kaya mata... HE MAY NEVER COME BACK HOME TO YOU.

Sir Pete Edochie you are still respected by me sir, but on this sir, i vehemently disagree, your advice based on the reverse psychology may prove fatal, ichie

Business / Re: Dangote’s Business Tactics Harmful To Nigerian Economy - U.S (Wikileak 2010) by IME1: 8:07am On Mar 13, 2021
The Bible says time and chance happens to us all.
I guess this means that at some point in our lives we will all get an opportunity for a breakthrough.

Now, imagine if you are to run 100m race with Usain Bolt and he is made to start half way ahead of you, even with a Ferrari would you call that fairness, equity and a good race?

There is a potential dangote in every state. Hardworking, industrious, innovative and ambitious.
But the fact is that only the one from Kano has been given the head start with a Ferrari, while thorns and lions have been put in the way of others. While a few others (whether we admit it or not there are several other billionaires in dollars in this country by loot or by crook or by business) are given scooter, and the vast majority are the ones faced with the thorns and lions.

I'm open to fact finding and correction but over time since Obj's government this has been my view of Dangote- a privileged monopolist, playing politics of business and economics.

Mind you a true business man focuses on business and a politician on good governance.
In many countries these 2 people don't mix. In many more countries these 2 people are hands and gloves. The government provide policies and environment for the businessman to thrive, and the business man sponsors the politician's campaign and help stash his loot as his business front.

What a life.............. undecided

My dear brother, for almost 1 week now this is what has been keeping me awake at night oh...

These High School Debates of 1955 to about 1957!

They are mind boggling and very enlightening

Internet dey try sha

I won't have ever known these debates existed.

I guess YouTube is trying to push good contents for the world to rather watch, than the junk most elders erroneously think Internet is all about.
They show that many things did not start today oh, the prejudices, unity, exchange programmes, superiority, desire to learn, want for a better life, patriotism for a better country, English as a lingua franca, believing you are right whereas you are wrong, and so on...

Meeen how I wish more people especially between the ages of 16 to 28 watch these clips.
How I wish I could download from YouTube with the free YouTube data I'm getting, almost 9000mb!

I'm trying as much as I can to compile all the salient points and write about them as a way of reflecting and comparing the position of things almost 70 years ago and the present state of the world.

Politics / Re: UK To Return £4.2 Million Ibori Loot To Nigeria by IME1: 2:15pm On Mar 09, 2021
I may not know much about the politics of economics
But can't this money be used completely to service Nigeria's foreign debt
So we'll have a clean slate?
We borrow too much and owe too much in the Nigerian government
Whereas the government services and maintains the very expensive lifestyles of its officials, contracts and top public and civil servants


Sad
Just pathetic


Also I want to wonder how long it took Ibori to loot this much?
Think about it, as at 1999 - 2007 how much was the federal allocation, 13% derivation, IGR and royalties from oil companies that got into the coffers of the government that he was able to do some things in the state, pay salaries, build a university for himself and pay bursaries?


Also sad is the fact that worse looters have arisen since Ibori left government till today

5. Will it cast aspersions and rancour, division and promote hatred

This your topic is real and needs addressing.

I wanted to share my experiences - had and heard

But I figured that the thread will become tribalistic, biased, volatile, heated and painful memories will once again arise, once people start sharing their experiences. Some did not lose the job but are being denied promotion, or being harmed in ways so they quit themselves, or being denied what others of that tribe are benefiting.

@adajoe555 I've been saying it since covid19 started (the same year (2020) we were battling lassa fever, we just suddenly abandoned all other deadlier diseases and focused on it) that there are greater problems Nigeria has and needs tackling.
- insecurity
Imagine the pain of losing a very healthy and happy person to trigger happy drug infused men from the bush in the guise of bandits, kidnappers, and terrorists?
- lassa fever, hepatitis, AIDS, diabetes and cancer
Imagine people still having to go to India and elsewhere for kidney transplant and cancer treatment? Dr Ehanire said lassa fever is not a national issue so treatment, management and prevention cannot be made free? Those who are detected on time still pay for their treatment in Irrua and are poorly managed, no thanks to the government's neglect of the hospital
- hunger
Oh my Lord! I passed a street on Friday, mostly inhabited by students and I saw a woman eating bread from the refuse block. She didn't look mad, cloth still dey body and she was gathering remnant probably to take to her children. There is hunger in the land for basic things.

Please someone who has access to this rep should tell him to raise a motion for federal government to urgently fix the Odukpani road leading to Uyo. It is an eyesore.

Legislators are said not to be voted in to do roads, but their job as representatives of their people is to draw the attention of the federal executive to their constituencies where their works are needed.

How can you be driving on good road till you see goodbye from Akwa Ibom and welcome to Cross Rivers? It's the same way I always felt whenever I left Kwara to Ekiti, very bad roads till you get to Ekiti... Oloye tried doing it when he was senate president as his project abi as federal government project he attracted but the job was shoddy and long. I don't even know how far he went because I totally cut off that route and go through Ajase epo, no more Oro or Omu Aran.

Nigeria needs help oh... don't let me get started lamenting on East West Road especially at Patani, or Benin Warri road by Ogheghe or Ososo-Okene route, nightmare, disaster... and the last time I was travelling through that route our business got bad and we had to take bike to where we could get another bus...

Chai if you are a regular air traveller you will not know what majority of Nigerians are suffering. There is suffering on the road due to avoidable bad roads. When a hole surfaces instead of doing quick patch they wait for it to turn to ditch then award exorbitant contracts. Shame...

Sometimes I feel sad for spouses, children, relations, friends, in laws and beneficiaries of our 'bad' Nigerian politicians, contractors and civil serpents servants and of course law enforcement, NEPA and political appointees. If not for God's mercies the curses and consequences of the actions of their 'bad' relations would have left them condemned.

undecided in my humble opinion it is not necessary
Many things are borne out of traditions of men, our former customs and sadly spiritism which God does not like.

1 Corinthians 10:23 “Everything is permissible,” but not everything is edifying or expedient.

If you find yourself in a place you can't access candles and the likes what would you do?
You may become agitated, anxious and doubtful that your prayers will be answered.

One thing lockdown taught the wold is that God is not in houses built by men, or in observations and journeys, mountains and memorabilia, bread, meetings, funds and all, but God is right there in our hearts, homes and lives.

Stay well.

The Ebira who won't vote for the Okun. The Catholic who would say other denominations are inferior and the Assemblies of God member who'd say all catholics don't know bible and worship Mary.

Fallacies. Extremism. Hate. Vile. Herd-mentality. Bandwagon. ITKs

Someone will come and say who am I to judge?

Common sense and your conscience will judge you?

Ordinary common sense will reveal many truths to us but because that truth sounds like what's from the Bible we quickly condemn it, reject and blaspheme it, just to prove to be neutral, secular, woke, atheist, anti Christian, logical or open minded. The fact is that there is the absolute truth.

You can't be open minded with issues of corruption, oppression, rape, ritualists or scam. It's sealed! One way road...

So how can you excuse a guy who scammed a random man using his ATM or BVN to pay his school fees and forget the victim who happens to be a pensioner who relied on that money for his daily upkeep and BP medications? You justify Osama bin laden, terrorism, kidnapping, forceful marriage, under aged marriage, destruction of other's livelihoods, imposition of their own in faith based schools, subtle jihad and conquest from a religion, just because you don't want to look bias and one sided! They are your neighbours, in laws, Co workers and helpers so you keep shut and wait for meat from the next Ileya.

Are you kidding me? You better take sides, even if people tell you that you are not open minded, you are partial, a bigot, unaccommodating and all the false narratives they've used to quench the spirit of many gullible Christians. Christians who like the seeds who fell on the rocks and thorns have been drowned by the world.

Stand for your faith and defend your Bible and it's teachings. God's word and be an ambassador for Jesus Christ, God's son, the light and only saviour.

Are you ashamed of being a man (eg Bobrisky), or a woman (because Mosdi says the ones in Nigeria are all useless including the seamstresses, lawyers, teachers, nannies, bakers, engineers, doctors, nurses, all and all his female relatives, which you laugh off as nothing)?

Then why should you be ashamed of living as a Christian? Why do you leave it in church like a garment and 'secularise' all through the rest of the week, online, at work, even at home and in your hood. Just so you won't be regarded as a bigot, simp, dull close minded illogical person, holier than thou or spirikoko?

Are you a Christian and you see an unrepentant sinner blaspheme and ridicule your faith and you keep quiet, you don't correct the person in love and stand for the right position? You don't do well. Even if it's in jokes, comedy skits, false prophets on the altar or on the political terrain.

Are you a Christian and a fellow Christian is being threatened to be killed by Boko Haram by live streaming and it doesn't touch you that this is a deliberate fight against the kingdom of God and you are not praying or speaking aganist it or condemning it or raising awareness about it at all? That's not right.

Are you a Christian and you feel because Reno or any other person you don't like like FFK speaks up for Leah Sharibu you won't do anything about her case? A Muslim girl was 'falsely' accused of carrying drugs in Saudi and the FG and Abike swiftly acted and got her released. Do you know how many Christians have been coincidentally falsely accused and had drugs planted on them in Malaysia and co who have been 'successfully' killed without any intervention by FG? See the xenophobic attack in SA, Ghana and covid19 discrimination by China against Nigerians from a part of Nigeria which government never spoke up for. Who's speaking up for the Obigbo community? Which news outlet, political party, NGO, celebrity, blog, protest match, church, adviser or group? No Gumi from the SS SW SE or NC?

If you think September 11 2001 didn't concern you as a Nigerian, think again. It was an attack on the world. An attack in a place they knew citizens from several nations will be in. It was an attack against a country that is carrying 'Christianity' on its head like a turban or tray of agbalumo, but is deep rooted in satanism, secularism and sin. Still they attack them in the guise of attacking the judo Christian God.

Imagine if someone killed your brother or neighbour thinking it was you, who he actually intended to kill.
Would you be happy? Would you heave a sigh of relief knowing that even if they missed you as their target, their intention has killed you already in their minds? No na

Finally, if you are Anglican and they kill a Catholic seminarian in Zaria, they kill you.
If you are in Christ embassy and they kill an RCCG member out on morning cry, they kill you.
If you are in GOFAMIT and they abduct ECWA members from Chibok or Sabo Tasha, they did it to you.
If you are in Deeper life and they ridicule Living Faith over what the Bible says, they ridicule you.

My observation is this,
When I type with my android and I type satan, they automatically change the s to uppercase.
When I type Jesus, they auto-correct it as jess, or leave it as jesus without changing the j to J.
They x the Christ in Christmas and Christianity.
They pause God in Multichoice.
They leave El Amin and attack schools for the low income earners in big Niger.
They leave the Indimis and Buratais and conveniently take the Dapchis.
They leave Akpos who had a 1st class and a PhD and appoint a Bawa.
They kill a Terwase who surrendered and embraced peace and was going for reconciliation and they leave a man named Sokoto who admitted to bombing the UN building.
They leave a Gumi who has robbed shoulders with the killer kidnappers and arrest an Obadiah the CBN man and summon him to Abj and Lag for questioning.
They leave southern Kaduna and Ulemo road before Auchi and instead hover their helicopters over Orlu

Happy birthday to the celebrant

It's good for mods to push lighter things to front page also (but not irrelevant things).
The bad news we read everyday happening in different places in Nigeria is enough to make many people unbothered, unsympathetic, indifferent and hardened.
