Apc just lost that zone ....ararume would have been perfect

Ararume would win that zone easily which ever party he goes

Tomorrow they would say igbos don't want to vote APC while they keep doing foolish mistake
/
So it is Ararume's birthright?

If he is that powerful, he would have easily won the primaries. I don't know why you people insist on recycling the same people in politics and turn around to wail that nothing progressive is happening.

Let someone else go and try.

GuyWise101:
Often times you here guys complaining about their girlfriends but you hardly here single guy's complain....


So I am asking single guys here... How is life without a girlfriend.


As for me I don't have a girlfriend and life feel so good here... bank account intant, wallet full and no nagging and other sh!ts.

Congratulations!

You are on the way to greatness. You will be more focused and think clearer while it lasts.

Dare to be different? The freedom is heavenly. You don't need anyone to make you feel full.

The best part is that you don't need to hide your kitchen knives when you sleep.

The content of the post on Instagram is highly unnecessary.

Silence is Golden.

Don't outshine your master. But if you must, do it tactfully and subtly. Let him run his bar for atleast 2 years and be profitable before challenging his master to a wrestling match.

People go to Cubana because of the brand name not because of Chief Priest. If the rift continues, some big spenders will not patronize him. I wish him luck.

He is the one that chose to waste his life studying political science for 5 years.

Politics in Nigeria is a hands-on profession. You work your way up. How many ballot boxes has he snatched? Has he ever broken someone's head for chairman before? Has he rented a crowd for the boss before? Has he shown in words and action that he can lay down his life for the godfather? Any personal injuries as evidence of his steadfastness to tenets of any political party in Nigeria? If he answers NO to any of these questions, then he chose the wrong profession.

I take solace in knowing that Buhari supporters are not exempted from the hardship. You are all living 1983 (his first tenure) back again. History is on loop.

Sebi una say una go vote Buhari even if na bread label he get as certificate? Truth be told, GEJ was equally as bad. The fact is that Nigeria has never had a patriotic leader after Independence. As such most Nigerians don't even know the attributes of a good leader. Some still believe that the best leader is the one with the longest convoy.

I believe the Presidency gave the mandate to his media handlers to do progressive Press Releases on pressing issues. I don't believe PMB made the statements.It is just Garba Shehu doing his publicity stunt. Do you really believe that Buhari is aware of inflationary pressure on foodstuff? Where? When? How? Yeah right!

The only thing Buhari and his team know is that it is time for breakfast, lunch or dinner and they saunter to sumptuous meals which he usually ends with a toothpick and legs to the table.

Go to Edo and see the people gyrating for APC for the forthcoming election. Did they learn?

Tomorrow the same folks will start disturbing our peace about how terrible things are. I know that for 5 cups of rice and N10k, most of you whining and wailing online will vote for APC again. I remain indifferent.

I know where many of them are, but the prices are not what I can confirm now. I was supposed to buy a plot from Centenary city but the cost they gave me was 13m, last year.

The price quote I got for Centenary almost 2 years ago was N7m.

Xisnin:
Irrelevant.
If there are 100 open slots and the 100 slots were filled with those who passed.
Then, the OP has no reason to complain.

However, people who passed were sidelined for those who didn't make the cutoff.
That is the real problem.

Who said that written exam is the only criterion for employment in Nigeria? They could be quota system at play as well.

If there are 100 open slots...
and 10,000 wrote the exam...
but 800 passed,

they will still take only 100 applicants.

If you were hired, will you still believe it is unfair?

Ladies got it easier. Smart ones find ways to get married before 25. The ones in denial about the reality called Nigeria keep living on false hopes until at 30, no decent job and prospect of marriage dwindles exponentially. Then depression sets in bringing more wrinkles to the face. Then they have to compete with those who were 14 and now 20.

Talk to a lawyer.

Always remember that once your money enters a bank, it becomes the bank's money. Your only hope is that the bank will honour her side of the deal instead of creating bottleneck bureacracy to frustrate depositors. Unscrupulous bank can declare insolvency and there goes your money. NDIC may end up compensating your great great great grandchildren for your loss.

obaaderemi:
Please,close your eyes to the title of the thread. grin
Nigeria indeed has Africa's largest economy. By some accounts, Lagos even has an economy bigger than those of Ethiopia, Tanzania, Kenya,etc. By other accounts, Nigerians are some of the brightest people around- Nigerians, they say, are the most educated immigrants in America, and the smartest family in the UK is Nigerian.
*Nigeria has huge deposits of minerals.
*Nigeria has enough arable land to feed the West African subregion.
*Nigeria has great animal breeding potential.
*Nigeria has two universities in Times Higher Education ranking of top10 universities in Africa.

The list is endless. So why is the country still like this?
So many reasons have been adduced for Nigeria's present situation but the one that resonates most with my own thinking is this: Nigeria and the north itself must be rescued from the northerners. I don't know how you see it, but to me, whoever controls the politics of a land controls pretty much everything else. grin We can not expect the country to progress at the level we desire while the largely illiterate north remains in control, because they will continue to hold the country back either through acts of commission or omission. Reason why I said even the north needs rescuing from itself. Just a personal opinion though.
But inspite of whatever it is that is responsible for Nigeria's present situation, there must be something we can do to push Nigeria forward and lift millions out of poverty, even if marginally.

Think about Toyota Camry 2003-06 and why it is nicknamed "Big for Nothing"

The problem of Nigeria is not the North. How do you rescue Nigeria when other regions tgat claim to be more educated and sophisticated keep dancing to the tune of the North?

The Nigerian system is faulty; the foundation is shaky. Import the best brain into Nigeria and s/he will be reduced to a mediocre because s/he cannot operate in a void--too many systemic loopholes centered on corruption/negligence/ineptitude/incompetence/nonchalance to frustrate the noblest of minds.

FFK probably has billions of naira stashed away and moves with 24/7 police security personnel. His version of Nigeria won't be typical.

I have written off Nigeria a long time ago.

Nigerian Pastors contribute to corrupt practices of politicians when they refuse to condemn their corrupt acts because of fear of loosing financial support from these politicians.

The problem is the biblical foundation of forgiveness without restitution. People commit crime or hurt others knowing that at the end they will be forgiven.

Any good nations you know today dish out punishments for commensurate crimes. But in Nigeria, some people are above the law. Everyone is busy chasing the god of Nigerians because with it, you can be untouchable. The only god in Nigerian (pastors, imams, babalawo, laity, etc) is MONEY. Every preaching, sticker, miracle, gimmick you name it, is to get access to the god.

Even if your country is in the remotest part of the world, if you keep it safe and clean, immigrants will come. How many Ghanaians have ever seen $1m in their lives? But they are making their country habitable enough to start making such demands.

The issue is that Nigeria has failed to improve her infrastructure and make Nigeria sec?ure enough and conducive to habitate. Why would any sane being migrate to Ghana to pay such amount in the first place? With half the amount, you can buy permanent residence through investment in US or Canada. I would be damned if I even pay $1000 for business permit in Ghana.

People are successful in Lagos, Kano, Nnewi, Onicha, Aba, PH and other commercial cities in Nigeria. If Ghana is not conducive, leave Ghana. It is not rocket science. People should stop this nonsense idea like they have no place called home.
