If this true, it is indeed condemnable. We complained al through last years of GEJ's 1 billion naira feeding budget and now this? I really do not expect this from APC

He committed the crime, let him serve his time. If not for anything, Anita would have learned beyond any element of doubt that is not a life to emulate.

Delta State has lost another opportunity of being let loose from this years of PDP bondage.

I cry for my state. embarassed embarassed embarassed

No party can exclusively boast of great candidate. Is Okowa a brilliant and committed leader? If "yes", I see no reason why Deltans need deliverance from bondage. Furthermore, we can't have APC governors in all the states; that would be bad for a pragmatic democracy.

Thanks for the information. What I really mean is Canadian occupation registration. Some occupations like Engineering are regulated. I want to know if one needs to be a registered engineer in Canada before one could be considered for the engineering occupation.

Not really, your foreign degree and experience should suffice for most jobs. However, there are certain roles that may require some certifications from appropriate regulatory body.

The truth is we don't need more borrowing to improve the
economy and better the lives of ordinary people as evidenced between 2007 & 2015 and in truth, if the the crop of people that now constitute the FG had allowed fuel subsidy removal, we wouldn't have been deep into this economic mess as we are in now.

For me, it's not about political party or about whose regime we accumulated a massive pile of debt. All I'm interested in is what will be good for us collectively and I think yet more borrowing is not the way forward.

Are we referring to the same 2015 that most states struggled to pay minimum salary to workers? Other years (2007 to 2014) do not compare to the present as our earnings from crude oil was more than sufficient to support our budget.

Borrowing is welcome as long as the bulk of the money is channeled into infrastructural development.

Finally on Fani, he has no moral ground to speak on this matter as the previous governments were entirely pre-occupied with embezzlement. Nigerians would be happy we borrowed if the funds are judiciously utilized.

Nothing wrecks a home faster than third parties, parents and pastors inclusive. Don't get me wrong here, they can articulate their opinion, however, the ultimate decision lies between me and my partner. No pastor, parent, friends or relative would have a controlling voice over my marriage to the point where they decide my partner for me.

I believe that a home built on love and God would withstand any minor misunderstanding. Personally, I would prefer talking over my issues with my wife than her reporting our private issues to any pastor.

A typical example why parents should not have the ultimate say is the case raised by the OP. The parents (who probably are christians) is inclined to wreck her love life because of some un-christian cast system. No genuine christian with the spirit of God would speak in the support of such stance.

The thing is still annoying me self. Why would a christian not see anything wrong in putting a class (outcast) on a set people probably redeemed by God's grace in Christ. So if your parent as a christian that you are, directs you marry an occultic bride, so you would sit down and allow them to talk you into it.

Note as harsh as the above sounded, a parrallel could be drawn between the above scenario and what the OP's talked her into. Wrecked her love life over ancient occultic belief.

Note this:
Before getting married to anyone, those that must give you their consent are;

1. you pastor or spiritual leader
2. parents
3. siblings
4. closest friends

If any of the above shouldnt concur, see to their reason and have a rethink!

What's the meaning of this bullshit? Would all these third parties live with you in your home? This was exactly how my grand parents literarily imposed a wife on my uncle and she ended up as a nutcase. Grand parents are now gone, unfortunately, this dude is still stuck with a mad wife in the name of christian marriage.

In my own opinion, genuine love should be pivotal in picking a life partner. And even at what, you still require a huge dose of God's grace to have a successful marriage.

My advice to the OP, screw the OSU and follow your heart. Make sure the love is mutual.

Lazy and suspicious journalism. For instance, readers wou loved to know:

1. Why our analogue refinery can't refine our light crude.
2. The name of the component referred to in the article.
3. Why build multi-billion naira refinery for a blend of crude we do not have?

The entire report appeared sponsored. Let's wait and see sha. In between, am not too bullish on this news as we still need over 20 of this refinery to serve our daily consumption. And if power supply improves, we may need far less pms per day

So , a corrupt man, a thief , a burglar corruption itself should be allowed to strive, go unpunished ??

So many stories of presidents all around the world sent to jail after their tenure,

Problem with you people is you believe you are too untouchable which is not so , North is already not loving anything about you people, all it takes is to deploy soldiers to your area in SS , SE and everyone will become as silent as the grave


Nobody is above constitution and punishment, not even GEJ

In case you do not know what you are suggesting is Black mail and even that is a crime in itself




Slow down mate. Am neigther from SS nor SE. If GEJ is arrested today, there would be unrest in SS and as you rightly stated, the FG would depoly soldiers. The question remains - "at what cost"

1. Billions would be expended again trying to maintain peace in SS
2. Huge revenue loss due to the turmoil. This loss is so unwanted at the moment, atleast not when the price of crude oil is nose-diving.
3. Unrest in SS would further fuel the call for biafra in SE. Nigeria doesn't want to risk a united SE/SS call for biafra.
4. In advance democracy, presidents are greatly protected and to some extent, their horrible sins swept under the carpet. This is done to protect the honor of the " office of the president". For the sake of the office, I think it would be a great mistake on the part of buhari to arrest GEJ.

For the record, am so pro Buhari and slightly APC.

A video or TV recording of a mere threat in law is not the same thing as a real threat. Your two neighbours fighting and one tells the other one , I go kill you is not a justification for a jail term.

Go and read about the genocide in Rwanda, then come back and justify how all the hate messages uttered by kanu is any less inciteful than those articulated by those jailed for the genocide. His case is even worse as he was caught on video demanding funds and weapon.

We told you guys explicitly that Kanu was being pushed from "cooling pan" to furnace fire with DSS charges withdrawal at the lower court, but you won't listen.

The only way kanu would escape a life sentence or even worst a death penalty is by a compromising plea bargain that would see him champion a campaign in respect of igbos' reintegration into the nigeria project.

I tot the APC told Nigerians they are coming with change, tot APC promised Nigerians hope? Tot they say Jonathan was killing the economy?

It is a shame that for 7months now dis government is yet to kick-start the economy. Meaning all they where coming to do was to take money from the sell of oil to build roads.... oil price has dropped der expectations has been cut short... No brain to think outside the box. Kai

Tell the minister of finance that 2016 will be my best year, tell her I will buy more cars, build more houses and marry next year...tell her My company stock will close in green... And guess what? Tell her Nigerians are not afraid of hard times cos since 1960 till date we have bin living in hard times... Rubbish

Dr. Abubakar Olusola Saraki..."My mother was from Iseyin in Oyo State while my father was from Ilorin in Kwara State. My great-great grandfather originated from Mali and I am talking about some 150 to 200 years ago. And they are Fulani and that is where we got our Fulani connection from".

http://sunnewsonline.com/new/how-buharis-coup-saved-me/

The Ilorin Emirate is a traditional statebased on the city of Ilorin in Kwara State, Nigeria. It is considered to be one of the Banza Bakwai, or copy-cats of the Hausa Kingdoms. Afonja had been assisted by Salih Janta, also called Shehu Alimi, a leader of the local Fulani. In 1824 Afonja was assassinated and Alimi's son Abdusalami became Emir. [ 3 ]Ilorin became an emirate of the Sokoto Caliphate.

Stop getting stuck in the past, we are in the 21st century. Obama's father is a Kenyan; by your logic, the US is ruled by a Kenyan. Of course, we know the truth.

In the current dispensation, obas and emirs are a bit over rated in actual governance. The central control happen at the governors' office; and the last time I checked, the yorubas have been in power in Ilorin since 1999.
