The Kidnappers thinks GEJ is still in charge when every thing illegal was made legal.

Hope for the best.

Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

even as a Muslim I don't think this is right haba

Even you too. I give up.


What is the correlation of this article and Islam? The names? or What?


Did you even read the article or you just joined the ignorant fools ☝ there to comment without reading or reasoning.


#Comprehension is a problem amongst Nigerian youths of today.

Finally a thinking and sensible governor.


Large part of the huge revenue being generated by Lagos state comes from the presence of the sea port. OBJ during his time created dry ports in each geopolitical Zones. This was to decongest Lagos ports and allow other states to benefit from the huge potentials of the ports by loading cargos meant for a particular geopolitical zone on a cargo train to be cleared in the states where this dry ports are located in the geo polictal zone. Meaning that you don't have to ship to Lagos of you're in Kaduna or Borno or Rivers or Benue. Just ship directly to the nearest dry port to your state.

Apart from the huge economic advantages the states stand to gain, the risk and cost of shipping goods to states that are far from Lagos state will be highly reduced.

Unfortunately close to 10 Years since OBJ left the seat, no state governor has had the sense to see the potentials of this dry ports. The then Governor of Oyo state Gov. Ladoja was the only governor that initiated the construction of the ICD present in Oyo state. Unfortunately for the state, he was unceremoniously and illegally impeached only to be reinstated less than 8months to the end of his tenure.

We have mentally weak/lazy leaders leading us in this country especially the state governors.

Since the return of democracy in 1999, OBJ has being the best president Nigeria has had so far. His legacies and achievements are still very much visible even to the blind.

mn09abk:
Afonjas wont like these news

I am a Yoruba person and btw, the Inland Container Depot is the brain child of an Afonja(OBJ). If not for him, the only sound that resemble port you people will ever hear about will be your cooking pots.

Opakan2:
na Saraki fault?

is he meant to remain as senate president after forgery and all other allegations against him..
if Judiciary could be purged, why not Senate

I smh for Nigeria

The Senate can be purged but this is a war and a war requires strategy. Buhari is a military man that knows about war and strategy.

He started by going after the legislatives and the ex executives. The judiciary frustrated him so he went after the Judiciary. Now that they know there's no much refuge for them in the judiciary again, they're resulting to blackmail.

If saraki does not and up in kirikiri by 2019, then Buhari has failed woefully in his fight against corruption. If Buhari can play that joker by making sure saraki ends up in prison, he will win convincingly come 2019.

tuniski:
It is not a party thing but a change in govt from one party to another. Let apc/buhaari lose to. Another party, you will hate buhari by the magnitude Of corruption that will be exposed!

You're correct but what I meant is that even under PDP we hardly hear of intra party wars like this especially not in the early days of PDP.

For there to be internal rancor within the party it means one faction is doing something right while the other is fighting back.

With time people will know which faction is doing the right thing.

INTROVERT:
Can we see APC is no different from PDP.

Actually they're different.

With PDP no one knew any of this things but with APC we became more aware of the dirty lifestyles of our leaders.

PDP is like a cult. You can know what is going on amongst them.

Jakpon:
The Olam Rice Mill in Nasarawa State was constructed and commissioned during the administartion of GEJ. Stop giving PMB undeserved credit.

idupaul:
These are the initiatives of Mr Adesina under the last govt ..please get your fact right before trying to hype that complete liar and failure called Buhari

The same way he "completed" the rail lines without coaches to travel on it.

The same way he came up with TSA without implementation.

The same way he starved refineries of crude oil production.

You guys are simply shameless. Ideas are cheap but the person that has the guys to execute ideas to fruition deserves the glory.

GEJ completed rice mill since 2014 but did not produce any rice until ending of 2016. Almost 2years into PMB's administration. What kind of rice is it to produce that is taking 2years.

GEJ built rice mill but failed to provide the rice for them to mill.

Any nonentity can have a child but it takes a real father to provide for the child (feed, clothe, educate etc). With the kind of fund that was available to GEJ. Te could have built 10 rice mills and provide rice for them to mill. Instead he built a rice mill and still continued to use over a trillion Naira annually to import rice.

Does that make GEJ a same person or an insane one.

FYI the CBN under Buhari provided 25billion naira agricultural support for farmers to produce rice for the rice mill to mill.

You can do your research.

Sealeddeal:
A lot of sane Yorubas voted against Buhari and that's why he couldn't get more than 50% vote in many Yoruba states. The problem in Southwest is that after the fall of Ilorin, Islam was brought in Yorubaland with sword and threat of bloodshed making a lot of Yorubas turning themselves into Fulani slavish Muslims. They're the major problem in Southwest. Those people will vote for any Fulani Muslim irrespective of anything and they have money and media to spread lies. They're the people referred to as Afonja or Yoruba Muslims.

It is better you get an education about Yoruba race before you start spewing trash. Islam has been in the southwest long before the Alimi and Afonja saga.

Guess what? Islam never enslave anyone before converting them and nowhere in SW history was it written that Islam was forced on people either by Sword or Slavery. Unlike some religion that enslaved people to forcefully convert them and still keep them enslaved even after conversion.

Dey do your own now I. I dey wait for you in 2019

The Special Adviser to Governor Akinwunmi Ambode on Communities and Communications, Hon. Kehinde Bamigbetan, told InsideMainland that “the Ministry of Works and Infrastructures is evaluating the bridge and will recommend immediate and long term solutions.”


Still evaluating? when human lives is at risk?


Typical Nigerian mentality we never take anything serious.

prettyjo:
most musicians take drugs,they say it gives them inspiration but I don't want to believe in that.
I think d major cause of it is peer influence.

if u really want to stop it why not schedule a visit with a psychiatrist.I think he/she will help you pull through

Abeg I go like know the office of just one psychiatrist in Nigeria.

He be like say you go know one. Abeg I need to they recommend am to people.

It is someone that is convicted that will be executed.

How many corrupt public officers has been convicted since Nigeria started fighting corruption under OBJ till date.

It will only make the judges richer by charging higher and cases will never be resolved.

ceeethru:
I suggest we all go and read Donald Trump's statement. Then you will know that Africans, most expecially Nigerians have no good image because of all these corrupt public holders. It will be best if death sentence can be enacted as punishment for any corrupt public holder.

9jasite:
Straw man fallacy.....

The socialist orientation is whats up for discussion. Not tribalistic arguments

Publications like this is the main reason why a Yoruba man will never like or trust people of eastern extraction.

Firstly Ngozi Okonjo Iweala is also a product of "Awolowo's socialist orientation".

Okonjo-Iweala was educated at the
International School Ibadan and Harvard University , graduating magna cum laude with an AB in Economics in 1976, and earned her PhD in regional economics and development from the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1981. She received an International Fellowship from the
American Association of University Women (AAUW) that supported her doctoral studies. [5]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ngozi_Okonjo-Iweala

Oby Ezekwesili is also a product of the same "Awolowo's Socialist orientation".

"Ezekwesili holds a master's degree in International Law and Diplomacy from the University of Lagos , as well as a
Master of Public Administration degree from the Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University . She trained with the firm of Deloitte and Touche and qualified as a chartered accountant. [2]"

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obiageli_Ezekwesili

Secondly Kemi Adeosun is not a product of "Awolowo's Socialist orientation". She never even schooled in Nigeria.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kemi_Adeosun

Thirdly, the budget and planning minister, the minister for industry, trade & investments, the governor at the Central Bank are all core and most vital members of the economic team and they are all from the east but the devlish writer chose to ignore the and include Fasola a minister of works.

Working Minister. Working president.
Dysfunctional and dangerous politics.


I don't expect wailers to appreciate what Buhari is doing. Their brain cannot handle complex issues.

I just hope that is not her intestine o.

scholes0:
What you should have said is that they are more difficult to read, not difficult to speak or understand, because you would hear the tonal differences.
To read however, would be harder without the tone markers.

I have never seen any Yoruba speaker confuse Oko (Pen!s) with Oko (Car) before.

you're very correct

But then again for you to be able to read you must have a deep understanding of the language which goes back to what I said initially about deep understanding.

opal4real:
Most languages has same pronunciation but different meaning.

In Edo,


Ogba= Tap water
Ogba=Complete
Ogba=Fence


Oka=Maize
Oka=Dry
Oka=Ring

Am not disputing that but Yoruba has one of the most if not the most in Nigeria.

By the way Edo and Yoruba have history together so you can say they may have close level of difficulty.

What makes every language more difficult is the reception and support you recieve from it natural speakers when learning it.

any language that carries tone marks on it's letters are usually more difficult because each Mark represents a tone and the more you change the Mark the more the tone changes and invariably the meaning of the word.

bwhahahahha

TINALETC3:
yoruba is nt easy biko, dnt mind ur frnds

classicB:
Yoruba is a cool language and it's not difficult to understand.

Yoruba is quite hard to deeply understand but what makes it easier to understand on the surface level is the fact that you get encouraged by people who corrects you when you make mistakes instead of making fun of you.

Another great factor that boost your understanding of Yoruba is the fact that Yoruba people chat alot either with their own or not. Either you understand fully or not they will try to include you in their conversation and take their time to explain to you.

without those factors, Yoruba is one of the hardest languages in the world.

for example "OKO" can mean up to 7 different things

oko- husband
oko- farm
oko- how
oko- pen!s
oko- stone
oko- vehicle
oko- (a pparticular number I can't remember)

OGUN

ogun- god of iron
Ogun- charm
Ogun- inheritance
Ogun- ogun state
Ogun- war

AYO

ayo- happiness
ayo- game
ayo- a particular kind of metal bowl

this is just 3 out of dozen of words like those above.

couliss:
Feminism is the belief in the social, political, and economic equality of the sexes.
Feminist activism is the struggle for that equality.
Feminist political activists campaign in areas such as reproductive rights, domestic violence, fairness, social justice, and workplace issues such as family medical leave, equal pay, and sexual harassment and discrimination.
That is feminism how can anyone not support FEMINISM.

Reproductive rights- am not sure I know what that means

Domestic violence- not only women suffer domestic violence. Men too suffer domestic violence (and yes on a large scale). The last time it was a prominent figure in Kenya was appealing to Kenyan women to stop beating up their husbands.

Rape- men too get raped every now and them but the fear of being judged and being labelled a sissy is what makes most men to not speak up.

medical leave- are you serious about this? is there anywhere in the world where men get more medical leave than women. The one I know is women getting maternity leave and men not getting paternity leave.

Equal pay- again is there anywhere or profession where men get paid more than men.

sexual harrassment- even though it is a predomonatly female problem but it should not be perceived as an issue exclusive to the female gender.


You see the main reason people see this Feminism being floored is the unity of purpose. You speak to a self proclaimed feminist today, she gives you a definition of feminism. Then you meet another feminist tomorrow, she gives you another definition that is quite contradictory to the first one. Then you meet another feminist who then gives you another definition that is quite confusing.

In the end, you are there asking yourself. What really is this FEMINISM all about?

mamateniola1:
I have listened to the arguments by Feminists over the years and have reached the simple conclusion that it is a very flawed subject. I have asked myself many times, and will ask again: what exactly do feminists want?

A Christian, I will draw my creation story from that handed down to us in the Holy Bible, which tells of how the man was first created, and the woman created FROM him to be a help meet for him. Now, this in no way prescribes a particular pattern of inordinate overlordship, but it does clearly state a hierarchy. This fact is alluded to in other chapters of the Bible, opening up the debate of who is actually superior between the male and female genders. I will attempt to answer that question. None.

This is what we want! Don't treat us like we are inferior to you(men)

They want some reservations made for them in government, reservations they will enjoy not because of their abilities, but because they are women! They want to get into male dominated jobs, not because they are physically suited to such, but because they want some representation to hype their ego

Are you saying we are lesser or inferior intellectually that we can't have a place or a say in government on merit?


Lalasticlala.

Every human being is inferior to one another in one way or the other.

We are stronger than one another in one way or the other.

Research has it that some women endure pain than men going by the pain they go through during child birth.

In view of the above, let me now ask you. Do you believe men are generally mentally stronger than women.

ItsQuinn:
Nope you are not wrong .....but.....I don't agree with the asking out Part

See ur tongue. So na only men supposed dey face rejection abi.

So you see why feminism is operationally contradictory. As long as it is not absolute. As long as you have a reservation about an aspect of a man's life that you cannot do.

Someother feminist somewhere will have another reservation about another thing that man does that they cannot do.

On a second thought, after carefully seeing most of your reply on here. I think you're not really a feminist. I think you're just here to have fun by tagging people along. e be like say I dey whine people ni joor.

ItsQuinn:
How am I being contradictory?

first you said you're a feminist, you can anything.

Then someone talked about ladies wooing guys and not able to handle the rejection, you now said that is why you advice ladies not to try to woo guys.

If you can do anything, you should be able to woo guys and handle the rejection well;

You should be able to take guys out on a date and pick the bills even when his friends chooses to tag along or decides to show up unannounced.

You should be able to pick up his bills, even the smallest of them which is to recharge his phone and pay for his tfare anytime he comes around and whenever he's leaving.

You should be able to do this without making him feel less of a man because that is also part of being treated "equally and fairly(feminism)".

or am I wrong in my submission?

ItsQuinn:
I'm a proud feminist

[/b]I can do whatever I want, whenever I want!
[/b]

ItsQuinn:
That is why I would advice ladies to never ask a guy out....EVER!

Re: Feminism: Operationally Contradictory?


Alfa soro ojo ku, oni olorun Jeri ohun.

Just exactly what the op is talking about

drcyn:
They meant reducing dollar demand for consumption and increase dollar supply for manufacturing. You know they were written in bullet point. You need to understand the context to make right interpretation.

You don't have to explain to him he actually knows what it means but blinded by his hatred for the administration.


This people just take up issues from the face value without considering the deep underlying factor.


That is a typical example. He refused to consider the fact that it is a bulletin and not the full document hence he jumped into conclusion.

peacesamuel94:
thanks very informative, although it sounds heartbreaking, i'll do my best to make the mission possible.

how about in an outside Nigeria setting.

Don't mind that guy. it is very possible but PhD is the most tricky where you need most prayer because if you fall into the hand of a wrong professor, you may be done for. to can even decide to put your service year on hold giving you an extra 1year.

you can do your masters in Uni. Ilorin they hardly go on strikes and have a very fast academic calender. then look for a university that rarely strikes, well organised and has less sourcy professors for your Phd. E.g. Uni. Ibadan. though I don't know about their professors but the remaining two is ok.

I knew there was something fishy about the news.


The Buhari I know hates IMF with passion simply because he knows it's a creation of CIA to improverish third world countries.

RisMas:
This is a very good developent, atleast, we have 3 working ministers in buhari's Govt. Fashola, Kachukwu and Adeosun . Others are sort of Ghost workers in my opinion

The most useless is that dalung of a guy. followed by shittu from my state.

lady2lady:
Hello from the other side !!

I've always noticed that most men always doze off immediately after sex.

Well,I wondering what could be the cause because it's weird.

So Romancelanders (as it's so called) Enlighten me a little bit.

Have you also felt sleepy and slept off? please tell me about it!

If you know how sweet that short sleep dey always be, you go do nearly anything to get a feel of it.
