A man who cannot pay civil servants their legitimate earnings is 'going to build' a 'free' university. This should be added to aesop fables but this time in the 20th century. Even Rochas deludes himself. I am watching where all this delusion will lead him to.

'I HEALED HIM' SO NOW FIREMAN IS THE HEALER AND NOT GOD. WHAT HEALING POWERS DOES HE POSSESS. I SAY NO MORE

I SERVED IN RIVERS STATE IN THE FIRST BATCH OF 1989/1990 SESSION. I SERVED AT THE RIVERS STATES OWNED BANK THAT IS NOW MORIBOND. I CANNOT RECOLLECT THE NAME OF MY PA. SERVICE YEAR WAS FUN AND I RECOLLECT THAT I EARNED N250,000 A MONTH. CORPERS OF MY YEAR CAN CONFIRM THAT ALLAWEE THEN WAS N250.000

It is only in Nigeria that this type of nonsense can happen. IT cannot happen in countries worth the name. Imagine giving permission to quacks to operate in a sensitive area like medicine. Who knows how many people have died in the so called hospital. At least they should have employed Nigerian doctors to help them in their scam. This sort of nonsense will continue to happen until people who collude with criminals are brought to book. How can Indians and Lebaneese be allowed to treat Nigerians as second class citizens in their own country. Since this matter is already in the public domain it should be investigated and everybody found culpable punished otherwise we would be having this sort of nonsense. I feel so insulted reading this, that Indians have this much authority in our country because corrupt politicians and public servants give them the power to ride us.

TRY AND SEE IF YOU CAN SAVE TEN PERCENT OF YOUR PAY AND OVER THE YEARS IT WILL COME TO SOMETHING. ITS NOT EASY BUT YOU NEED DISCIPLINE TO DO SO. I HAVE BEEN WORKING IN MY CURRENT JOB FOR EIGHT YEARS BUT I CAN TELL YOU THAT SAVING 10% OF MY MONTHLY PAY HASNT BEEN EASY AND I CAN SAY THAT THE PAY IS REASONABLE. BEING AN AFRICAN AND LIVING IN LAGOS MAKES SAVING ERY DIFFICULT BUT IF YOU APPLY DISCIPLINE YOU WILL GET BY.

MY GREATEST CHALLENGE IN LIFE IS TO HAVE THE KIND OF MONEY THAT WILL MAKE ME ANSWERABLE ONLY TO MY CONSCIENCE. WHEN YOU DONT HAVE ENOUGH MONEY YOU LIVE IN DENAIL OF THE TRUE YOU OR YOU LIVE THE LIFE THE LIFE OF THE HYPOCRITE, PLEASING OTHERS RATHER THAN YOURSELF. THIS IS MY GREATEST CHALLENGE.

I DONT SEE THE BIG DEAL IN NAMING UNILAG AFTER MKO ABIOLA. WE WOULDNT BE CELEBRATING 13 YEARS OF DEMOCRACY IF ABIOLA WASNT KILLED IN AN EFFORT TO KILL THE JUNE 12 1993 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION WHICH HE WON WITHOUT A SHADOW OF DOUBT. HIS CLASSMATE WHO REAPED FROM HIS DEATH BY THE CONCESSION GRANTED BY THE REST OF NIGERIA TO THE YORUBA PEOPLE TO PRODUCE THE NEXT PRESIDENT TO ASSUAGE THEIR ANGER OVER ABIOLA'S DEATH. IN EIGHT YEARS OBASANJO REJECTED ALL ENTREATIES TO HONOUR ABIOLA. IF HE HAD DONE THE RIGHT THING MAYBE JONATHAN WOULD HAVE RENAMED UNILAG AFTER ABIOLA. UNILAG IS A BRAND AS SOME HAVE ARGUED BUT ABIOLA WAS AN ICON BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY HE PAID THE SUPREME PRICE FOR DEMOCRACY AND NOTHING CAN BE TOO MUCH FOR HIM. LET US NOT FORGET THAT THE BIGGEST AND BUSIEST AIRPORT IN USA WAS NAMED AFTER THE LATE AMERICAN PRESIDENT, JOHN FRITZGERALD KENNEDY. THERE IS NOTHING TO CONDENM PRESIDENT FOR THE HONOUR DONE TO ABIOLA. FOR ME, MAY 29TH SHOULD HAVE BEEN RENAMED ABIOLA DAY WITH A PUBLIC HOLIDAY OR SHIFT DEMOCRACY DAY TO JUNE 12. WE SHOULD APPLAUD THE PRESIDENT RATHER THAN VILIFY HIM.

IF THIS IS NOT CLOWNING PLEASE TELL ME WHAT ELSE IS. I AM STILL LAUGHING. IF THIS IS NOT A RUMOUR THEN MR AMOSUN WILL SOON LOSE THE LITTLE RESPECT I HAD FOR HIM.

if the oil block was restored, what was the reason for the payout of over a billion dollars. Haba Adoke. We are not children in kindargaten. Tell this story to the Marines. One day we will know all the beneficiaries of the slush fund just as in the case of the Haliburton where a former President was complicit in sharing bribe money. See how we have devalued the office of the President of Nigeria to the extent that its now a conduit for sharing bribe money. How the outside world would be laughing at us.

I dont know what to make of this funny tale. Mr.Charles Oputa aka Charlie Boy appears to be losing relevance so he needs to create a buzz to remain relevant. I am sure he is pained that he has been left out of the juicy tales about the illuminati which is in someone's imagination and so he thinks he can just wake up and claim to be the leader of a non existent illuminati. As for being gay, he can tell that to the marines. For those who do not know, Charlie Boy is a grand father with 11 children so when did he become gay or what kind of gay is he that has been married to his American wife for over twennty years. Haba Charlie Boy. Maybe leading okada drivers is no longer good business.

Let nobody tell me about a second rail line when the first one hasnt seen the light of day except that the Orile to Okokomaiko axis is messed up and a nightmare. Let Fashola complete one rail project before jumping into another project which will be left for the next Governor to contend with. That is why we have white elephant projects littered all over the place.

One simple question. Who paid for the wedding, was it your family or didnt the guy contribute towards his own wedding. You will have to help out but as you know there is no guarantee that you will get your money back. Take it as an investment into the life of your cousin. It may even be that the guy hasnt got a degree so when yuor cousin graduates from her present Masters course, she will get a job to start feeding the twart. I dont want to be judgemental but the guy appears to be a gold digger. I am not sure love is involved here. Its important to find out if your cousin fell in love with the guy or the oil company job so that she would have a comfortable life. YOu need to find out all this before you start investing in a crook. I am sorry if my language is a bit strong.

ALL HAVE FAILED AND FALLEN SHORT TO BE CALLED SUCCESS USING ALL THE KNOWN INDICES OF DEVELOPMENT. WHAT WE HAVE ARE GOVERNORS WHO BLOW THEIR TRUMPHETS BUT WHEN YOU GET DOWN TO IT THEY HAVE DONEE NOTHING COMPARED TO THE LIKES OF THE FATHERS OF THE NATION LIKE AWOLOWO OR MICHAEL OKPARA. LET ME PLACE ON RECORD FOR THE SAKE OF POSTERITY THAT NO GOVERNOR HAVE DONE ANYTHING NEAR WHAT AWO DID AS PREMIER OF THE WEST WITH LIMITED FINANCIAL BASE. WHAT WE HAVE PRODUCED SINCE THEN ARE POOR MEN WHO ENRICH THEMSELVES WITH MONEY BELONGING TO THE PEOPLE. I WOULD HAVE MENTIONED FASHOLA BUT WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE INCOME THAT COMES INTO LAGOS YOU WILL REALIZE THAT FASHOLA LIKE OTHERS IS A FAILURE. THE PROBLEM WITH NIGERIA AS STATED BY CHINUA ACHEBE IS THAT OF LEADERSHIP. UNTIL WE FIND A LEADER WHO IS WILLING TO SACRIFICE HIMSELF FOR THE NATION NOTHING WILL HAPPEN BY WAY OF DEVELOPMENT. I SAY NO MORE FOR NOW

AGRIC TALK INDEED. THIS IS ANOTHER NAME FOR A JUNKET AT THE EXPENSE OF THE PEOPLE. CHECK OUT THE NAMES OF THE MEMBERS OF THE DELEGATION AND YOU WILL FIND OUT HOW UNSERIOUS GOVERNMENT CAN BE. SO ITS GERMANS THAT WILL TEACH PEOPLE IN OSUN HOW TO FARM OR WHAT TO FARM ON THEIR LAND. THIS IS JUST ANOTHER WASTE OF THE RESOURCES OF THE STATE IN SOMETHING THAT IS CLEARLY UNPRODUCTIVE. I WISH THE DELEGATION SAFE TRIP.

I will be watching what Adoke does with the order when he has told the world that there ought to be another investigation of the report. The case is as it is dead on arrival because the lawyers will tell him that the matter had not been sufficiently investigated and it will die in court. GEJ is trying to wash off his hands from the matter by the order that cannot amount to anything. The more you look the less you see. I am not impressed.

THIS BIKE IS STILL AVAILABLE

This is a very good topic for discussion, i have three boys aged 8 to 2 years. i bought a small nokia phone from mtn for him and a small visaphone for his younger brother who is five years old. i have noticed that aoart from playing games on the phone they dont use them so i gave a niece the visa phone who has out it to better use and i will soon take away the nokia phone from the older boy. I believe that when they are older there might be need for that but for now it appears to be a misplaced priority. I have been told by my colleagues that there is nothing bad in allowing a seven year old have an ipad to play games with. When i said this was unnecessary i was almost shouted down as if i was in the dark ages, the argument being that children of these days are smart and if that devices like the ipad can only boost intelligence. I am still digesting this line of reasoning.

Is Alhaji Tukur not the Chairman of PDP. I now see why eneral Azazi said the policies of the PDP encourage terrorists like Boko Haram. Haba, Alhaji Tukur. i dont know what injustice they are fighting for when the little they have said is that they hate western education. There may be something the party Chairman knows that we dont know and if we are in a country where the rule of law prevails, he should be explaining a lot to the security agencies but who dare invite the Chairman of the largest party in Africa to explain himself. NIgeria is fast becoming a nation of untouchables where laws are made for the commoner where the proverbial big man laughs at the rest of the proletariat. Frankly i dont know how the President is feeling now. He is in the midst of people who are merely tolerating him and bidding their time to take back the Presidency which they have told us in plain language that the rulership of NIgeria is their birth right.

Soon computers would become items that would be smuggled into the country and the prices would hit the roof. This is one policy that was not clearly thought out. As usual the poor masses will suffer for it as the big shots will never patronise local companies that couple computers. Zinox manufactures nothing but couples systems just as some smart alec does in otigba. Make we hear word

General MOhammed Buhari should rest this political ambition that is threatening to consume him with so much hatred for Nigerians. I dont know how someone wants to rule a people but hates the people so much. Everytme he speaks you will think you are hearing from the spokesman of Boko Haram. i really dont know what he wants but one thing is clear, he will never be President of Nigeria. Let him just accept the fact that he has been retired from politics and that NIgeria has since moved on and that his claim of being Mr. CLean is not enough credential for the Presidency. I used to respect him but not when he continues to egg on his supporters to visit other NIgerians with violence.

I HAVE A FAIRLY USED 2011 APPLE AIR FOR SALE, ITS 2GB MEM AND 60GB HARD DRIVE. ITS THE LATEST VERSION. CALL ME ON 08060390146. I AM ON TH ISLAND

I am sure its going to be a bomb of a film. Hope the scren writer will bring out the spirit of the book, I will look out for the film.

I hate making general statements and so i will not make one here. Some guys in this NL amaze me. Some are leaving the substance and chasing shadows. I attend a Parish of RCCG but it does not mean that i can swallow hook line and sinker wrongs being perpetrated by the university. one thing i can say is the the church is not the university and the author did not say the GO is responsible for all the things going on in the university. I just hope he gets to read this lamentation from a student who is wearing the shoe and know where its pinching him. Some of the issues can be addressed if the school will fulfill the visions of the founder. The GO is an academic himself and should know what a great school should look like. Let him find time to look into the goings on in the university and right the wrongs before things get out of hand.

Gentlemen, the comment about the Yourba's is absolutely uncalled for and should be withdrawn. The appearance of an ex-wife at this juncture is also totally irrelevant. I dont know what gives her the locus to ask that the corpse be exhumed. She has no locus and being an ex-wife is irrelevant, what if the other ex-wife counters her demand. The soul of the departed soccer star should be allowed to rest in peace. It would require a court order to exhume the body and no judge will give such an order as it would be frivilous. I believe that there is a more than meets the eye in the death but the sort of investigation this 'oyibo' wife wants will lead to nothing. She abandoned her post when her presence would have mattered. Let her not further insult our sensibilities with rash demand for the exumation of the corpse.

I DISAGREE WITH OGBENI GOVERNOR RAUF AREGBESOLA ON THE CREATION ONF NORTHERN AFFAIR AS THIS NATION IS NOT ALL ABOUT THE NORTHERN REGION. WHY NOT A MINISTRY OF EASTERN OR SOUTH SOUTH AFFAIR. GOVERNMENT SHOULD RESOLVE ISSUES THAT WILL BRING DEVELOPMENT TO ALL PARTS OF THE NATION AND WHAT IS NEEDED TO DO THIS IS NOT S MINISTRY OF ANY PART OF THE COUNTRY. DOING SO WILL BE YIELDING TO PRESSURE FROM A TERRORIST GROUP WHO HAPPENS TO BE BASED IN THE NORTH. UNTIL TODAY, THE GROUP HAVENT COME OUT IN THE OPEN TO SAY THEIR GRIEVANCES. WHEN THEY DO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WILL ADDRESS THE ISSUES IN THE SAME WAY THE ISSUES OF THE NEGLECT OF THE NIGER DELTA IS BEING ADDRESSED.

REALLY DONT UNDERSTAND WHY SIMPLE EXCHANGE OF VIEWS ON NAIRALANDS LEAD TO RACIAL SLURS. WHEN PEOPLE DONT HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY THEY RESORT TO NAME CALLING. THIS SORT OF BEHAVIOUS SHOULD BE DISCOURAGED BY THE MODERATOR. PEOPLE SHOULD NOT USE NAIRALAND AS AN AVENUE TO ABUSE TRIBES AND TONGUES. I AM SURE THAT IS NOT WHY SEUN ESTABLISHED THE SITE. GUYS BE ADVICED AND SHARE YOUR VIEW WITH A SENSE OF DECORUM OR JUST KEEP QUITE. IT IS NOT A CRIME NOT TO HAVE A VIEW ON SOME ISSUES. ITS NOT ALL THE ISSUES THAT I RESPOND TO.

I CONGRATULATE THE LAGOS STATE GOVERNMENT FOR RECRUTING NEW DOCTORS TO SAVE LIVES IN THE STATE. THE DOCTORS MAY BE YOUNG AND LARGELY INXPERIENCED BUT ITS BETTER THAN LEAVING PATIENTS IN THE HANDS OF QUACKS. I THINK GOVERNOR FASHOLA WAS LEFT WITH NO OPTION THAN TO FIND A WAY TO SAVE LIVES AS NEGOTIATION WITH THE DOCTORS HAD BECOME INTRACTABLE. NOW THAT TEMPERS HAVE COOLED DOWN, THE PARTIES SHOULD REAPPRAISE THEIR POSITION AND ALLLOW THE SPIRIT THE OF GIVE AND TAKE CONTROL THE NEGOTIATIONS IN THE INTEREST OF LONG SUFFERING MASSES OF LAGOS STATE

NIGERIANS ARE DAILY WRITING THIER NAME INTO THE GUINESS BOOK OF RECORDS. THIS WOULD BE THE FIRST TIME ANY NIGERIAN UNIVERSITY WOULD AWARD AN HONOURARY MASTERS DEGREE. ITS REALLY FUNNYH, WHY NOT AWARD THE DOCTORATE TO THE INTERNATIONAL FOOTBALL STAR IN RECOGNISTION OF HIS FOOTBALL PROWESS. THIS IS NOTHING BUT A DEBASEMENT OF THE IVORY TOWER. I CAN BET YOU THAT EVERY TOM DICK AND HARRY WILL NOW BE AWARDED HONOURARY MASTERS DEGREE THAT WILL SOON MAKE GOIING TO THE UNIVERSITY USELESS WHEN VICE CHANCELLORS CAN HAND OVER THE AWARDS LIKE CONFETTI. THE VICE CHANCELLOR SHOULD BE CALLED TO ORDER BEFORE HE MESSES UP WITH THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM, THIS IS NOT TO SAY THAT KANU IS NOT WORTHY OF AN AWARD. HE IS QUALIFIED FOR A DOCTORATE IN HONOUR. UNIVERSITIES HAVE AWARDED THIEVES SO WHAT IS WRONG IN GIVING THE AWARD TO KANU WHO HAS BROGUHT JOY TO MILLIONS OF NIGERIANS THROUGH HIS FOOTBAL ARTISTRY.

WE MUST LEARN TO RESPECT THE VIEWS OF PEOPLE. THIS IS SOMEONE'S DEFINITION OF MR RIGHT. SHE DIDNT SAY EVERYBODY MUST DEFINE MR RIGHT IN HER TERMS. EVRYBODY HAS AN INALIENABLE RIGHT TO CHOOSE HIS MR RIGHT ACCORDING TO HER BELIEF. THIS IS HER VIEW AND SHE IS ENTITLED TO IT. ITS USELESS SAYING THAT SHE WILL NEVER MARRY BECAUSE OF THE CHOICE SHE HAS MADE BECAUSE ITS HER RIGHT. WHETHER SHE REMAINS SINGLE AS A RESULT OF HER CHOICE IS HER BUSINESS. SOMEONE MAY DEFINE HER MR RIGHT AS A MAN WHO MUST HAVE A COMPANY OF HIS OWN, HAVE TWENTY CARS ETC ETC. WHAT IS IMPORTANT IS THAT EVERYONE MAKES A CHOICE AND LIVES WITH THE CHOICE.

IN SIMPLE TERMS FORNICATION IS SLEEPING WITH THE OPPOSITE SEX WHEN ONE IS NOT MARRIED. THE LORD CONDEMS IT AND IT WILL LEAD THE PRACTITIONER TO HELL. NO MORE NO LESS
