prettyG: Despite that record, Lamido has garnered a surfeit of top-ranking endorsements for the nation’s top job in 2015. While he has all but launched a campaign, he is one of the few potential candidates whose posters have been on display in parts of Abuja and other states.

His highest rating yet came nearly a month ago after former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, snubbed a Democracy Day event hosted by President Goodluck Jonathan in Abuja, for a similar event in Dutse, Jigawa state capital, where he highlighted Lamido’s achievements.

“You can help anybody to find a job, but you cannot help anybody to do the job. In this case, we found a job for Sule Lamido; he was ready, willing, able and competent to do the job,” Obasanjo said.

The former President was later quoted as saying, “When you help someone to leadership and he cannot perform, you look for another person. And I’ve found one in Lamido.” This remark was interpreted by many as a subtle message to President Jonathan concerning 2015.

J12: You folks should let this woman be for Christ's sake. So what if the office of the first lady is unconstitutional and she uses the nigerian coat of arms as an emblem? Does it change anything? No it doesn't.

blink182: and the decision of God is to forgive you. He forgave you even before you sinned. There is no love greater than His love for us.

Poster I know you are either deeper life or belong to one of those churches that believe they can impress God with their deeds. Hebrews 11:6.

The problem with you people is that because you think you can observe laws you are better than those who can't observe it but you forget that we are no longer bound by law. Romans 7:1-13.

What we do when we commit sin both intentionally and unintentionally is offend God but we have an intercessor pleading day and night on our behalf Romans 8:34 and our lives is hid in Him colossians 3:3 when God looks at a Christian, He sees Jesus.

We are dead to sin, Christians can't commit sin and it has no power over us or the power to send us to hell Romans 6:11.

Let me tell you, there is only one criteria to be met as a Christian to make heaven and that is John 3:16.

We should stop all these nonsense and stop scaring sinners away from the loving Father who loves us so much that he even numbered the hair on our heads Luke 12:7

Even look at 1 John3:9 'No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God's seed remains in them; they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God' but you forgot to let people read from the beginning of chapter 3 what John is saying is not that we should abstain from sin because it offends God but an affirmation of Romans 6:11. Dude, we are dead to sin, Christians can not commit sin.

What exactly are you even trying to say? That a smoker of 20years should stop smoking the very day he repents, is that even possible except through the Grace of God that delivers him of that demon.


PLEASE CHRISTIANS OUT THERE, DO NOT LET ANYONE INTIMIDATE YOU WITH HELL. IF YOU BELIEVE IN JESUS AND THAT HE IS THE SON OF GOD, NOTHING CAN STOP YOU FROM MAKING HEAVEN.

There are somethings that shouldn't be said to baby Christians because they will abuse it. This nonsense of trying to please God through dead deeds should stop and we should embrace biblical truth, the Holy Spirit (our teacher, helper, master, friend, healer-love You so much) and let Him show you all things.

fredopayee: Naturally, men do cheat. Its never what society feeds him. Maybe luckily you don't cheat. Take a look from old testament till now. Why do men marry more than one wife? Still have some kids outside marriage? Haven't you heard of the one that happened recently?? AC Milan owner going to 7 years imprisonment cus he slept with under-age prostitute? What oof American President Bill Clinton and his staff? What of Obj and his sons wife? What of Iyanya and Yvonne Nelson? When Yvonne Nelson accused him of cheating with Tontoh Dikeh?

ypeace: As long as these ladies think that a man is equal to a woman, they will never understand why most men "cheat"...if dats wat u call it.

thoth: If you know anything about Strategic Planning and International Diplomacy you would have known that production of oil is not what matters or what these nation are aiming for, THE CONTROL OF OIL IS WHAT MATTERS, that is what they all want. the more leverage you have on who gets what and who buys what the more power and advantage you had. US for a long time has enough oil for its people. I always see people talking about oil production and i feel i have to leave them alone with their idea. do your research .

Stegomiah: I share my own views in saying that cheating is a destructive beast. It ruins bonds, friendships, romantic relationships, trust and any shred of honesty that built the foundation of your relationship. No matter what the scenario, at least one individual involved in an instance of cheating ends up distraught from the course of events that follow. If you’re the partner at fault and any bit human, you have a guilty conscience that’s bound to take you down a rough road. On the other hand, if you’re the victim in the situation, you’ll be feeling the unwanted burden of heartache and utter disappointment.

But there are opposing beliefs that suggest cheating may be beneficial to relationships. Some say cheating can help in developing more love-making positions thereby re-igniting one's L♥√ع life, while some believes it is wat some peoples relationship needs to move ahead... So i just want to know if there are situations where cheating can ever be acceptable and how!

everyday: 76yr old! May God have mercy on his soul

mitey: Governor Fashola! Respects Sir!!

Consider these scenarios:
1. If the Speaker(Mr. Ikuforiji) can pay the bond, then he certainly is guilty of money laundering and will eventually be prosecuted.

2. If the Speaker does not pay up, he is thrown into jail, and the court drags the process till after 2015.


Either way, guilty or not, Mr. Speaker will not be contesting for 2015 Lagos Governorship election.

donroxy: U see Jp,

English Language is a great problem to you, also u lack basic logical reasonings.

Let me show you where u erred and teach U how to be objective in life ::::::::

Denotative meaning of UNIQUE ; Unusual;Rare;Being the only one of its kind :::::::: simply put ; Different from the rest!!!!


When u compared issues,events,situations and conditions et all across board,the one(s) that stand out (distinguished/distinct) from normal/usual (expected) occurence can be said to be UNIQUE !!!

Therefore,Unique as used by seemed to be beyond your level of intelligence as well as knowledge of english language words, denotatively and contextually, simply because u believed Unique is only used to judge the BEST while u do not know we could have a ''Unique thief'' , ''Unique land'' , ''Unique water '' Unique whatever :::::: it only implied something(quality/quantity) is just different from others !!!! Someones or something,its way of operation differs !!!


Jp phillips, u would easily fail synonyms and antonyms cuz u would never considered the contextual usage of words in a sentence !!!


So,Jp phillips, Unique as used in describing Hajia Fati Abubakar doesn't make her the best woman Nigeria has ever produced neither the best military wife nor the most ''ideal'' FirstLady :::


Unique was only used to describe HER simply because she was reclusive,she deviate from expectation which is quite unusual judging from what has transpired during the years of those before Her (Since IBB) !!!


Ur problem, JP phillip, is; U did not know UNIQUE is only used to distinguished an unusual occurence;deviation from usual expectation;rare occassion !!!!


Next time Jp phillips, before u tonguelashed a fellow,get ur fact right as no human has monopoly of Knowledge,we are all learners ::::: and also,let insult be the last tool u would ever used in butressing ur points !!!


Also,a man could be devilish all through his entire life,but if he did even an atom of Goodliness,such deserved to be acknowledged!!! Thats how to be objective !!!



This thread has nothing to do with General Abdsallam Abubakar But Hajia Fati Lima Abubakar !!!

should not be insulted simply because UNIQUE was used in describing Hajia Fati !!!

Now,U shd be able to know who is Ok and NOT Ok between us !!!

Spoilt rich kid...

ilugunboy: According to tales handed down to you...go and ask the Ibo lady that happens to be the DG of the TY foundation her opinion...and other numerous Ibos that work in SAPETRO and the TY Holding companies...

Quit this old passed down hatred..the world is moving...If the Japanese have your mindset..they won't be America best ally in Asia today.

Ishilove: The women who get pregnant only to sell who sell their babies for profit are heartless . Whether they are selling them to ritualists, they don't care. The one called Chy Chy who opened her maggot filled mouth to say she only gets high when she is pregnant and has sold two babies, and will sell the third one she is currently carrying deserves to be hung by her clit0ris until she is dead.

Despicable bunch. I spit on them

donroxy: Yes,Yes and Yes ::::::: It is not hyperbolic to tagged Hajia Fati Abubakar a Heroine

Ok,U asked why ?

Here I go ;

Since Babangida's Regime turned the Firstlady to one of the most prominent,Influential and powerful personality in Nigeria even with Office and what I may tagged Portfolio via His wife,Maryam Babangida ,We have always had power-drunk and Power-intoxicated FirstLadies most especially wives of the Military Generals and C-In-C namely Maryam Babangida (The most influential of all firstladies) and Maryam Abacha (The powerful woman) ::::::::::::::: despite their Husbands being Illegitimate leaders .


The two Illegitimate firstladies mentioned above despite their Husbands administering Illegitimate Government were Highly powerful and Influential ,they were power-drunk and their Elegance is outa the world !!!



Hajia Fati Abubakar despite being the wife of a Dictatorial also having the largesse and facilities to Operate as the aforementioned firstladies,she was reclusive,she was unique :::::::: She knew Her Husband Occupied an Illegitimate seat,she was an agent of the Law,she even knew the Office of the Firstlady is Unconstitutional (despite having the power to reason otherwise and conveyed herself like the rest) !!!


And To the wives of the democratic presidents,they should also be criticised too cuz they are occupying Illegitimate Office ;Stella Obasanjo;Turai Yar'adua( the most powerful democratic FirstLady in Nigeria) and Now Madam Dame( also influentia though lost a parcel of land to Turai's manhood) ahahaha


Could our democratic Firstladies conveyed themselves as Hajia Fati :::::.Hell No !!!



That is why gave Kudos to Hajia Fati,that is why she was eulogised !!! And Yes, She deserved to be eulogised !!!

"The military government headed by General Abdulsalami Abubakar in 1998 recovered some funds from Abacha’s family and two former ministers that had apparently been appropriated in a fraudulent buy-back of Russian-held debt, but there were no prosecutions. Nor was there a full disclosure and accountability with respect to the monies recovered".
http://serap-nigeria.org/escrs-corruption-in-nigeria/

"Mr. Abubakar’s share of the illicit bribe funds, a total of $37.5 million, was wired to him through accounts in the American Express Bank Annex at the Towers World Financial Centre, New York, the Seaway National Bank, Chicago, and the Bank of New York.

Mr. Abubakar, who served as military ruler after the death of General Sani Abacha, operated several bank accounts that period included A/C No 187765 Chips VID 250517 (in the name of Maizubi Holdings, Minna), A/C No 0074952045, Routing Number 071001216, Foundation Inc., A/C No 9800263826 Swift/Sort Code GHBAGRAA001 and A/C No 0039342923-21 Routing Number 052001533.

The bribery deals were overseen by Jeffrey Tesler, a lawyer and dual citizen of the UK and Israel who served as a consultant to KBR, a subsidiary of Halliburton that sought to secure construction contracts worth $6 billion. Mr. Tesler was arrested in the UK in 2009. In 2011, he struck a plea bargain with US authorities that sent him to jail for 21 months. In addition, he forfeited $150 million to the US government."

SOME top Nigerian officials in the regimes of the late head of state, Gen. Sani Abacha, his successor, Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar have been linked with large scale fraud by the United States (U.S.) government.

Information filed by the American government under seal at a U.S. District Court in Houston, Texas shows that these Nigerian functionaries and their foreign collaborators siphoned N21 billion ($180 million) from the treasury through the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) trains and projects valued at N696 billion ($6 billion). According to records before the court, the bribery scandal ran for a decade, 1994 to 2004.

Although the names of former and current Nigerian functionaries, who shared in the bribe have not been released by the U.S. government, the stage for the prosecution of their cohorts has been set by an American oil company official, Mr. Jack Stanley, who last week pleaded guilty to the crime.

U.S. sources said that the bribery scandal involving topmost levels of the Nigerian government officials started in 1994 and continued till 2004 on the contract awards for Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) services in the building of the LNG trains.

Listen. If you want to be be a slave - go ahead; just don't drag me in with you or label me with the same brush (I manage projects for a firm in North America not because I lack managerial skills but because I have them; and I'm as African as they come). Your list of all these things about the constitution this and the right of the citizen that - do you think black South Africans had all that under apartheid? NO. So what's your point? The counter argument would be, do black South Africans now have those rights under black rule? That answer to that is NOT YET. There is still a long way to go; there are still a lot of struggles ahead. THAT is the difference between racial discrimination and corruption.

And as for my South African example - I was illustrating the fact that the fruits of a country's labour are more likely to stay within the country after independence than leave. Judicious leaders know how to use those extra funds. Let me give another example - the US; that was one of the reasons for the fight for independence: to stop the UK from squeezing them dry.

danny301: People like you that hold PHD ( Pull Him Down) in finding faults with good people because your minds are already programmed to criticize certain people will always have something negative to say..... If i may ask, where are your facts and figures to back your claim that 'Abubakar depleted our foreign reserve to zero dollar'? And what if he depleted our foreign reserve which means he was corrupt, was (is) he the only corrupt (ex)President Nigeria ? What of IBB, Abacha, OBJ and even GEJ, are they saints?.......And for crying out loud the thread isn't about Abubakar [/b]but about [b]Fati Abubakar...... Let's learn to appreciate good people because they (good people) don't easy come by anywhere in the world.

coputa: Abubakar, her husband stayed in power for a very short time but he depleted our foregn reserve to zero dollar...why can't her unique wife,fati advise him,instead,she kept quiet and enjoyed the loot with her husband...,this is sheer hypocrisy ö the the part of the op...
