I wonder how Fashola will defeat a northern candidate without help from the SS/SE

Vote for him or vote for a Northerner. The choice is yours.

SmithEnemona:
The Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki on Thursday requested the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions to investigate a petition filed against the Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT, Mr. Danladi Umar.

A Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Senator from Ebonyi State, Obinna Ogba had submitted the petition bordering on alleged corruption and abuse of office by the CCT Chairman.

The ethics committee is expected to submit its report to the Upper Chamber in two weeks.

Meanwhile, the Senate President is equally facing a 13-count charge of alleged false asset declaration and corruption at the CCT.

Ibos, always used for the dirty job. You decide to go to war with the Federal Government...good luck. Mr.Obinna Ogba better make sure his hands are clean and that from this day forth they remain so.

Its funny how unbridled hate will make you do something as dumb as committing suicide just to spite someone you see living.

opeaceo:
Can you name 5 players that are above that age group by merely looking at their faces??

From Nigeria? THE WHOLE TEAM.

Tell me, which of your players is still in High School? Name the school and tell us what grade he's in.

Ibos are bent on destroying your country using any means possible including voting for inept leaders and spreading lies on the pages of newspapers and social media. The good thing is the world looks at them as troublemakers and "The boy who cried wolf". So, Nigerians should take solace in that.

SonOfEl:
I know....cold blooded cowards like you will always have something cowardly to say. Your generation is ten times corrupt.

Shut up African, and listen when your superiors are trying to teach you.

If the author of the article, Bruce Fein, is given more money by the Buhari Government to say worse against Dasuki, he will gladly oblige. That is his Modus Operandi. I would take his words with a pinch of salt. He is not reliable.

Nonybb:
To Goodluck Jonathan, an election or his ambitions do not worth the blood of any. To the illiterate and uncircumsized ab@ki from Duara, it is worth the blood of Dogs and Baboons(blood of Animals in the zoo)

But he lost so what are you crying about? I don't understand why you guys are so ignorant. His "ambition"?! His ambition was to win and even with his attempts to circumvent the eventual result of the election through postponements, intimidation, and bribes he still failed so what do you expect the rest of us to thank him for? For not relinquishing power even when he was clearly unpopular?

You're not normal.

Alphaoscar:
And his escort can't engage or arrest the alleged assailant?



This story is difficult to believe and I ain't buy this.

Assassins that decided to play bumper-cars with their target. Your leaders actually think you're dumb with this silly story they're feeding you.

mrvitalis:
Maybe cos of the level u are. .. .. Step up ur class and meet the educated igbos

I am not saying ALL I'm saying "most". Of course, I know intelligent and well mannered Ibos but the truth is ---over the past few years--- there has been a very rabid, very vocal group that makes the overall majority of that ethnic group look just as I described in the post you responded to. As a group, I think they ought change that mentality of being condescending towards others. That, I think is their greatest pitfall.

okomogo:
Yet people will blame the president for all these. But I still think there's something fishy about this Dasuki’s case. While the attention on Dasuki since baba took over office. I'm not saying the allegations are not true but something does not just add up to the way Buhari is following up this man. I bet they are not telling us the real story.

Either you're blind or just plain stu*pid. Maybe both.

mrvitalis:
My friend.. . For an igbo child education is number one.. .. Business is secondary
.. . Igbos have more graduate than any tribe in Nigeria
... Go to UR, UNILAG, OAU, ABU, UNIJOS, in fact any school outside igbo land u will see a great percentage of igbos. ... .. . But u hardly see yurobas in the East or north or even south going to school

So how come most Ibos I meet usually sound uncouth, aggressive and uneducated?

Missy89:
Lol Mikel and Inchenacho honest?

No Nigerian footballer is Honest even Odewingwe that was born in Europe. FACT!

Odemwingie has no choice: His birth was registered immediately he got out of his mother's womb. That's why he has enjoyed a somewhat successful career in comparison with his age. If he was born in Nigeria he'd probably be celebrating his 23rd birthday for the 6th time next year.

opeaceo:
Exactly, some maybe 17, but the point is, they look younger than others who have played under the same group age.

The point is they are supposed to be "under 17". Full translation? They are supposed to be no more than 16yrs old! Not 20yrs old. Not "they look young". 16yrs old and below! Nobody is supposed to be up to 17yrs old in that competiton. Do you get it now?

Standing5:
while I agree with the writer, your example of Mikel/Messi is inappropriate. Mikel and iheanacho of Man city are actually among the few honest ones, we saw a skinny Mikel and Kelechi grow from the 14/15/16 yr old stature into what the are unlike the other guys who already attained full maturity by age 11 and below.
Until we tackle age cheats in age group competitions we will continue to unknowingly assemble a super eagles that averages 30-something and that's 'un-improvable'.

Obi and Ihenacho were in what grades in high school when they played for Nigeria? Keep on deceiving yourselves.

opeaceo:
We all know that falsification happens in every facet of our society, from football, to marriage to beauty peagents, which shows there's something wrong with the citizens.
From the write up, I was looking for more recent dates, which I didn't see, it shows we've deviated a bit from the norm, and I think we would get there, IMO, the "boys" we fielded for the last tournament look young.

"Look Young" indeed. How many of them are still in High School since they're supposed to be 16yrs old.

buskie13:
Success isn't measured by height

the two giants u see there may never be as successful as GEJ

GEJ is actually a failure. Every post of responsibility he's ever held shows this.

Look at this clown. Keep on deceiving yourself. "Still haven't showed".

sunnyb0b0:
They still haven't showed us the certificate.

"Shown" not "showed".

And you're busy worrying about another man's certificate...

ZKOSOSO:
Yes! Ina me hotel area in GRA Enugu last week when on business trip! I heard the blaring horn...... then follow the long snake of a train just by my window!! lovely!!

Buhari and apc are only interested in power to oppress not to develop nothing!

trains are not supposed to move only once a week.

20pounds:
SMH...when a lawyer violates the right of another, masquerading under the guise of religion...


Arab women dress like this to protect their skin(and face) from the scorching heat and sandstorm that occur frequently in that clime as a result of being located in the desert. Nigerians copy and disgrace themselves.

It is time women all over begin to ask for their rights. Polygamy too, should not be practised in this modern time. It is not in tune with modern realities. It is the highway to spreading STDs and HIV.

If there's no polygamy in a country like Nigeria, most of the women will die as single women and will never get married.

nwaanambra1:
I KNW JONA IS UP TO 6FT!

THESE GUYS MUST BE DESCENDANTS OF NEPHILIMS!

Jonathan is actually small in stature. Probably 5'5, 5'6. He's nowhere near 6ft.

EternalTruths:
Can someone ask Father Mbaka why the long queue for fuel is back

Father Mbaka should list 5 Changes Buhari solely initiated

You do know that this Govt is barely six months old and has just sworn in Ministers? All Father. Mbaka is telling you is to not run mad with hate. I'd adhere if I was you.

FreeGlobe:
South South people are treacherous. Edwin Clark, Dokpesi. smh

Everyone except the "noble", "brave", and "trustworthy" people from the South East.

Ezeife has always been divisive and hateful. No surprises here.

chukwudi44:
Lolz Saraki giving Tinubu nightmares since 2015!!! I hope the opolo eyes does not die of heart attack on hearing this news!!

To the transgendered NgeneUKWU how market!!

You are not too smart are you? All he's basically been given is a 7(or 14) day reprieve. The Appeals court hearing will be accelerated, then the CCT trial will commence. It's clear you have no idea what's going on and you just come online all the time to display your ignorance which is only fueled by hate.

You need to stop being an id.iot.

Guyman02:
APC witch-hunt.
They have no case against this man. Their anger against him is just because of the way he tried to scuttle the announcement of the result of the national elections at the International Conference Center Abuja when PMB was coasting to victory for which he has apologized to Nigerians for his misdeed.
Stop harassing him with CCT and face the art of governance for which 8 months has passed since the day Orubebe acted his script for which he is being persecuted.

Tell us the source of his wealth.

So, that old man with the gigantic potbelly that's most likely battling Diabetes, high blood pressure, erectile dysfunction and a host of other obesity related diseases really thinks he's the one that impregnated the lady?

Codedb2:
With this picture you're showing that you're from zoological Republic of Nigeria
Monkies and baboons

What is "monkies"?

Nigeria to sell, buy oil directly, cut out middlemen



By Michelle Faul | AP November 3 at 4:04 PM

LAGOS, Nigeria — Nigeria will start selling and buying oil and gasoline directly to cut out middlemen and curb graft, the new managers of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corp. announced Tuesday night.

The major policy shift fits new President Muhammadu Buhari’s plan to halt corruption endemic in the industry in Africa’s biggest oil producer. The previous administration of President Goodluck Jonathan had ignored warnings from Central Bank Governor Lamido Sanusi that some $20 billion in oil sales over three years was missing from federal coffers, and instead fired Sanusi.

Nigeria produces 2 million barrels of crude a day, according to the corporation’s website. Nigerians consume about 9 million liters (2.4 million gallons) of gas daily, almost all imported because local refineries are inefficient. One barrel of crude produces about 30 gallons of diesel or fuel.

A statement from spokesman Ohi Alegbe said the decision was made after a screening of previously used and prequalified petroleum product importers revealed almost all the 34 international and 10 local companies were middleman businesses.

The shift is “a major steer designed to enshrine transparency and eliminate the activities of middlemen in the crude oil exchange,” said the statement from the corporation’s new management. One of Buhari’s first acts as president was to fire all the old managers.

Corruption that thrived under Jonathan’s watch had favored officials being sold entire shipments of crude at favorable rates so they could pocket the profits. The U.S. Department of Justice warned Buhari earlier this year that one minister had pocketed $6 billion from oil sales.

The massive thefts came as oil prices topped $110 a barrel. Now Nigeria is in crisis, with halved prices for the oil that provides 80 percent of government revenue and Buhari has complained he inherited an emptied treasury.

Iamthewatcher:
I met my fiancee some few yrs ago. I've agreed to marry her but there are factors I still want to give a final consideration before signing the dotted lines. These are:

1. She is not literate but willing to go to school. I never dreamt of marrying an illiterate when I, myself is a graduate. Her waec result is nothing to write home about. In fact she wasted her time in secondary school as far as I'm concerned and when I asked her why she was such an olodo, she quickly blamed those she lived with. She said because she was more or less a maid then, she hadn't much time for her studies and that's why she failed woefully. When I met her, her use of english was zero and I had to exert much effort to bring her to the level where she could converse freely with me at least in english. She retook her ssce and credited all subjects except math.

2. She's 2yrs and 3months older than me. Some argue that a woman will age first when older and that's the reason men go for younger women or at worst, their age mates.

3: She sometimes feel inferior to me cos' of my literacy and polished way of going about my stuff.

4. She has a fat tummy. This I perceived to be an upshot of her eating habit before I met her. Can you believe that it was when I started staying close to her that I discovered that she doesn't drink water after eating. Maybe she does that very much later. She was an expert in devouring meat with her friends and never exercised. I also had to teach her to drink water first thing in the morning before taking breakfast. I discovered that her mouth was always dry as a result of this disgusting lifestyle. If she wants to have a word with me in low tone, I do perceive some offensive odours from the mouth sometimes. All this are changing slowly now cos' a damage of so many years can't just be corrected overnight. I'm putting much effort into rearing her cos' she's a wife material.

There are one or two other drawbacks I won't like to go into now as the aforementioned factors are the ones that baffle me the most. I sometimes get so annoyed and start abusing her. But she also has her good sides that even attracted me to her which are:

1. She is well-mannered.
2. She can cook very well.
3. She is very hospitable.
4. She's very respectful.
5: She's pretty and fair.
6. She's a wife material.
7. She's reserved.

The crux here is that we are presently, not on the same page as far as being learned and refined is concerned and I want to marry someone who'll be very refined as well. Though we stay as friends but I feel she doesn't measure up.
So my people, if you were in my shoes, can you go ahead and marry her despite these bad sides??
Pls and pls, helpful comments will suffice.

Write the pros and the cons of being with her on a sheet of paper, then if the pros outweigh the con, marry her. If the cons outweigh the pros ask yourself if you can live without her. Be patient and be gentle with her since her habits are already ingrained in her lifestyle, she will change with your help. But, don't go out of your way trying to "teach" her how to become a "better" person, if you go too hard on her you will only create resentment and she will become defensive or passive-aggressive and she will push back and resist all your suggestions. Teach her how to eat healthy--- thats the first step to losing stomach fat. Abs are built in the kitchen not in the gym. Teach her to floss after every meal and to brush before going to bed. What you want in a partner is someone that'll love, respect and cherish you and will also be a good example for your children. She sounds like a good person.

Remember, be very patient with her. Good luck.
