As much as I detest bloggers for their lies and manufactured stories with all their "click this link for more pictures" or "click this link below for naked pix" etc, I would say categorically that the governor of ogun state governor ibikhnle amosun is a disgrace to APC.

For all I care the guy's report about the governor's wife stealing millions of dollars may be right. Why can't they sue the guy if they think he committed a crime...? why intimidate him with the police?

I will make sure I stay glued to Tvc tomorrow and call them till they pick my call...this is totally unacceptable

Your post is contradictory. When you think a crime has been committed, you summon the police.

I'm not defending Amosun, I'm commenting on your post.

Explorers:
Sometimes, airlines cut costs by skimping on fuel, forcing planes to take off with less than the recommended amount.

This should be a jailable crime.

They should tell that fool who spread money in a swimming pool and posted it on social media.

Unknown to Kachikwu, Buhari is using him as his scapegoat if things backfire the way Joy Ogwu is being tarnished by Amala Sahara newspaper of Tinubu

So Buhari, not Joy Ogwu, planned Buhari's itinerary in New York? Some of you don't have sense, I swear.

What's the dude doing there? Is he the first lady of Lesotho or he missed his way?

Beremx:
It is better for an 18years old girl to be married than for an 11years old girl to be raped. 85percent of 18years old girls are no longer virgins. If na lie,ask Kylie Jenner.


As long as the bride is allowed to further her studies,i am happy with that. Emir Sanusi must not deprive her of furthering her education all because of marriage.

Thank you for this sensible post.

I don't know why people are so worked up. 18 is an ideal age for marriage. In the UK you can get married at 16 if your parents consent to it and at 18 without parental consent.

I don't know when we Nigerians will stop taking oyinbo ppl like 'god'. But they don't give a damn about you when 'you' come to their country.

Nonsense

It wasn't about his skin probably. He must have PAID heavily.

floragregs:
@ number 3, what if the family moved without sam at the age of 4?

That would still leave you with "When the family was aged four, it moved. . ." which doesn't make sense. In any case, when talking of modifiers we talk about that writer had in mind to determine whether the modifier is correctly used or not. If the reader has to start thinking "what if the familly. . .", there is a problem.

I think you should look at this link:

Writeditor:
This is a MISPLACED modifier, not a dangling modifier.

Read more about dangling modifiers and misplaced modifiers here.

pansophist:
Example number 3 didnt add up, its non--sequitir.

The incorrect sentence passes a notion that Sam did not move with his family, while the other inferred that he moved with them. We can hearby conclude that Sam's family moved without him according to the incorrect example.

Yup. And the FAMILY was aged four!

According to the erudite Professor, a worthy son of Delta State,“I am reading it as you have read it in the papers.

Is this a news report or a citation? Vanguard has gone to the dogs. Keep this newspaper from your kids.

Man unkind to man

They're not being unkind. Most hospitals, government-owned ones included, would not have treated her at all and that would have been worse. They need to stay in business.

qualityovenbake:
A senator's son involved in car snatching, his he curse. Am not justifying the police killing but this guy has no business being a robber.

Na so e bi. During the era of Tafa Balogun as IG, TWO of Okoro's sons were arrested for armed robbery but he later got them out. Okoro himself has been accused of killing people for rituals.

warrior01:
What kind of biased reportage is this? The so called journalist should go back to school abeg.

I tell you. I had thought it was some media letter written by the head of the Yoruba traders union there until I saw Vanguard. To think an editor read this and published it!

OfoIgbo:
I don't think I've ever come across any reporting that is as biased as this report.

No attempt was made to narrate the Igho side of the story.
All the people quoted were Yoruba.

Yoruba Journalism has gone to the dogs.

Btw, go to Onitsha, and you will find out that Onitsha's commercial reputation is not bestowed on it, by Onitsha indigenes. It's mainly Igbos from other parts of Igholand that has made Onitsha what it is
As a matter of fact, Onitsha people are mainly into education and are hugely into the civil service both in the private sector and public sector.

The article is beyond bias but you're no better. In fact, if you were a journo, you'd probably write worse articles. Prejudice exists in the mind and manifests in words and actions.

" I had a small bush behind my house "

Very funny how everything becomes mysterious in the eyes of men of God.

I'm also amused by the response of the policemen tho.

It's the Republic of Superstition. Even the mallams - the snake "almost disappeared". What does that even mean? Did the snake disappear or did you find it when you searched for it?

ritababe:
may God help us all, but that snake no be ordinary snake sha
.

its funny how a man of God went to go and called men of .............to come and help him

Interesting. Would you be so kind to tell us the attributes of
(1) An ordinary snake.
(2) A non-ordinary snake.

Thank you.

WhiteTechnology:
At least you got the message

Small head.

I got the message - reading garbled things comes with the nature of some of the things I do. You are wrong about the small head, though. My brain is way bigger than yours.

WhiteTechnology:
This pic confirms that Boko Haram are occupying some parts of Nigeria which have being hidden by our hypocritical media.


If they was no occupation by BH they won't be removal of their flags by Nigerian troops.



APC and Deceit are like Siamese twins.

On a good day, your English is not anything near grade A but it's normally better than this. Seems you were in so much hurry to make first page you ended up typing this garbled post. You should take your time next time.

EgusiSoup:
These are leaders ready to leave a positive impact in the lives of their people not like that burantashi goro chewing burukutu sipping kunu drunk dullard who has still not show us the certificate

First to Comment.

#EgusiSoup

So by hosting a state dinner he's ready to leave positive impact on the lives of his people. Interesting.

ibullem:
maybe, just maybe we need such asinine comments to bring us back from limbo to the stark reality of the colossal mess we are in.

No, we don't. Thinking Nigerians know exactly where we are in. Unthinking Nigerians won't know just because some random Indian insulted their country. This sort of comment only generates bad blood. Harsh criticism, yes. Idiotic comment that slurs a people, no. If you know, someone who's father is a drunkard, try to go shouting in his face when he breaks your head tell the world that maybe, just maybe you needed to do that to save his father. This man's comments are not even true per se as I explained in my earlier post.

Image123:
i've always told frosb that he was never a christian, so he didn't even backslide. Not surprised this can come from him. He needed and still needs the true Christ.

So it's the same person. Well, I shouldn't be surprised. Christianity wasn't his first love on NL. Frosbel is passionate like that with anything he sinks his teeth into. He's not your sheeplike religious type of person who sticks with what he's told without questioning things. He has a problem with his temperament but I think his tragic flaw is his failure to realise the reality of SUBJECTIVITY - that whatever we believe or think we know is just a point of view and there is no real way of demonstrating its superiority over other viewpoints. But I hope he doesn't convert to Islam, though. He'd be worse than bin Ladin and Shekau combined. He would line up his entire family, strap everyone, including himself, with bombs and get on a plane to America or Saudi Arabia.

On the bolded, I guess everyone can have his own subjective definition of who a "Christian" is, as is usually the case in these matters. I think what you and him had was a disagreement over certain doctrines, whereas you both shared that belief which is said to make one a Christian: that Jesus died to save you.

I just found this:

frosbel2:
Hypocritical bigot !

The bible supports sex slaves.

" Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man " - Numbers 31:17-18

"When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are. If she does not please the man who bought her, he may allow her to be bought back again. But he is not allowed to sell her to foreigners, since he is the one who broke the contract with her. And if the slave girl's owner arranges for her to marry his son, he may no longer treat her as a slave girl, but he must treat her as his daughter. If he himself marries her and then takes another wife, he may not reduce her food or clothing or fail to sleep with her as his wife. If he fails in any of these three ways, she may leave as a free woman without making any payment. Exodus 21:7-11 NLT

1. American Christian soldiers raped and murdered many Iraqi women - fact
2. Lord resistance army has raped and killed thousands of women in Uganda - fact
3. Pastors rape and defile under aged girls, wives and females almost on a weekly basis - fact.


Again, you cannot stereotype a whole group by the actions of some.

Sorry, but is this the same Frosbel? Back then when I used to read this section there was this militant Christian soldier who fired from the hips, with "Christ" smoking all over him. Is this the same guy or someone has appropriated the name to take the battle to the Christians?

musKeeto:
What's wrong with the comment he made?

I'm surprised you see nothing wrong with those comments. Yes, we import a good deal of the petrol and diesel we consume and if there is any Nigerian who does not have a problem with that there must be something wrong with him. But on a logical level how does that justify his comment that there is nothing worth bringing back from Nigeria? Can that statement be true of any place on earth?

Beyond the level of logic, that comment betrays a deep-seated dislike for the country he actually LIVES in and its people. That much is betrayed by this comment about importing intelligence even though that was in no way relevant to the matter of his bringing something special and even though there is no country without expatriates in some important positions.

I'm no knee-jerk patriot and I'm as embarrassed about the state of Nigeria as I believe you are, but this man's comments were asinine.

Trailblazer1:
APC! APC!! APC!!!
Could this be change


we have returned to the era of talk and die
while under the supposedly 'clueless' GEJ, all and sundry had freedom of expression and every Tom, Dick and Harry became a whistle blower

Your point isn't clear.

kennygee:
No be only spirit fire.

In most developed parts of the world, science would have come up with factual explanations.

But in this part of the world, it will be termed "spirit fire" and swept under the rug till it happens again.

Sad, isn't it? A national newspaper published this, as if "spirit fire" is some factual phenomenon. You don't need to look far as to why some societies will remain slave to others despite paper independence.

Google is your friend, if you can't get all the specifics you want, you may want to visit ministry of agriculture, talk to northern Governors better still visit farmers that benefitted from the policies

Well, that's all you ever get when you ask this question - Google is your friend, bla bla bla. Nobody really knows what the man achieved - apart from fertiliser this, fertiliser that. I know the fundamental problems of Nigerian agriculture. I also know Adesina did nothing to address them.

Brilliant! The one I find most grating is "severally".

"Don't bring sentiments into this" can be right, though, depending on context.

It was raining in Akungba,Ondo state. since morning, I went to senate building with of one my friend, which want to sign his clearance on getting there I saw some guys, trying to kill this big snake.

That 's a puff adder. Yummy!

How? Can you cite specifics?

Un-serious lot.

They think SAN-ship is Pito Drink.

Actually, it is. Pick up any SAN conferee list in recent times and tell me it's not.

There's a lot wrong with the whole SAN business, anyway.

EFCC is beginning to sound like the politicians they investigate.

Exactly. It doesn't matter why they're after Lamorde. The question is whether he is guilty. Let everybody expose everybody.

Orikinla:
Dear Nigerian Press, Please Stop Insulting Onyeka Onwenu By Calling Her "Elegant Stallion"


For decades since our days at the Nigeria Television Authority (NTA) to date, I have been hearing and reading members of the Nigerian press and entertainment industry calling Nigerian music diva Onyeka Onwenu, the "Elegant Stallion" and she always seemed to have agreed and nodded in approval.

How could she accept such an insult when she knows what a stallion is?

A Stallion is a male horse that has not been gelded (castrated).
Stallion is also a male who is able to conduct sexual intercourse for hours on end.
Calling any woman a stallion, elegant or not is an insult and not a compliment.

A prominent Nigerian actor made the same mistake live on stage at the much publicized Showbiz Interactive with former President Goodluck Jonathan on March 15, 2015 at the Eko Hotel & Suites on Victoria Island, Lagos. And she still did not correct him.
The erroneous description is now in her biographical profiles in the encyclopedia and Wikipedia!

Please, Onyeka Onwenu is not an elegant stallion.
You can call her elegant diva or elegant songstress.
