It seems MTN did not 'wet ground'.

Your head dey dia. They have this company policy of not giving bribes so NNC jumps on their case at any opportunity.

stevolinkon40:
MTN HAS STOPPED THE PLAN ALREADY. I HOPE THEY WONT STOP THE UNLIMITED NIGHT BROWSING ON IPULSE TOO

They could. The persecution MTN suffers at the hands of NCC no be now.

Ezenwammadu:
Fuel subsidy.With recent happenings it is safe to declare that this is a failed nation and its division is in order.

To your tents oh Nigeria

When a country is facing problems like "recent happenings" you divide it and that will solve the problems and the people will be happy. Good reasoning.

omenka:
Very big shame on us honestly.

This is the ridicule successive governments have brought us under. But Jonathan's government wore our pathetic situation its Royal Crown. Imaging what truckload of mess he's living behind, and to make matters worse, he carries on like he's tone deaf and blind. And that is the man Nigerians call a Hero and deserves a Nobel Prize!!

Indeed we deserve all the jeers and scorn from these guys. I can hardly blame them.

I tell you. It just makes one sad. Sad.

JeffreyJamez:
...and one person will come tell me there shouldn't be jungle justice. .......

They should make the maggots bring out the main rirualist!.

Bolded is the most important thing but the article said nothing about that. Big men are above the law in Nigeria. Meanwhile, you should join the campaign to say no to jungle justice.

Mhomies:
If only we can get a fair & proper investigation of this.
1. There could actually be some money involved here,
2. Some guys could actually be out to rubbish the person of the Governor and/or the REC etc.
Let the REC be secured while full investigation commences immediately.

Okojie is extremely corrupt and Akpabio can give more than that. Investigation? Forget it, there will be none.

TheRealAdonye:
So our DSS can track these things? We're going somewhere.

It's a simple thing you can do from your laptop sitting in your room.

jikjimmy2:
We are beginning to see how empty and idealess Buhari is. Nigeria don enter one chance.Only God can save us again.

Your post makes no sense. What in what Mr Buhari said here points to emptiness and idealessness?

emiye:
looking at deliverables, he was slightly above average when one considers the volume of foreign direct investment (FDI) brought to the country in the midst of the insecurity in the country.

I meant to say "no noise" - was typing in a hurry. I agree with you but you have to look at fundamentals too - an area Adeshina completely failed at. Aganga single-handedly saved Ecowas from sleep-walking into the ruinous EPA. He did more for cashew export than all governments since independence put together. There were basic things you previously had to go do in Ghana which now get done in Nigeria. The man is a workaholic still holding meetings and commissioning things all over the place till today.

emiye:
I rank Minister of Investment , Aganga ahead of Minister of Agric sef.

No doubt about it. Aganga simply work and delivered - noise. Nigerians like razzmatazz, that is why Adeshina's noise always got him noticed.

Saorchy:
As we countdown to May 29, 2015, when the Goodluck Jonathan administration will vacate the seat of power, it is not all gloomy as there are outstanding men and women in the administration that used the instruments of their office to better the life of the common man on the street.

Naij.com has compiled 5 of these outstanding individuals that Nigerians won’t forget in a hurry.
Read below:

1. Professor Chinedu Nebo: The former Vice Chancellor of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka has indeed been outstanding. The Minister of Power have overseen a tedious privatisation process of the power sector devoid of rancour as was the case in the past. He has also been consistent with his regular briefing of the media and Nigerians in order to keep everyone up-to-date on the progress in the sector. Though not much have been achieved yet, Nigerians will no doubt start to see the manifestation of his handiwork in the nearest future, provided the incoming Buhari administration continues from where he stopped and make corrections where he made mistakes.



2. Dr. Omobola Johnson: It is not really a surprise that she has performed well. Not your typical politician, Johnson left her position as the Country Manager of Accenture to take assume the role of Nigeria’s Minister of Communications. Her sterling performance and revolutionary policies are visible for all to see. She has also focused heavily on empowering young girls in Information Communication Technology and it has paid off immensely.



3. Ambassador Aminu Wali: The Kano-born former Nigerian Ambassador to China has brought to bear his diplomatic experience at the foreign ministry. A perfect gentleman, his robust foreign policies have seen Nigeria,for the first time, stand up to ungrateful countries like South-Africa, United Arab Emirates and some Asian countries. Wali has done a good job in standing for the rights of Nigerians abroad although much still needs to be done in this direction. But he has started on a right note, and it is expected that whoever fills his big shoes in the Buhari administration, will continue from where he stopped.



4. Osita Chidoka: Chidoka’s short stint in the Ministry of Aviation has proven that saying that says “It is not how far, but how well”. The former head of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) hit the ground running immediately he assumed office. In an industry that has been under consistent crisis, Chidoka became a rallying point for all the stakeholders in the industry mostly because of the professional way he handled issues pertaining the industry. He has worked tirelessly to improve on the safety standards of the industry and has carried on working despite Jonathan’s loss at the polls. Nigeria definitely need men like Chidoka in public service.



5. Dr. Akinwunmi Adeshina: This list would not be complete without the name of Dr. Adeshina. It is not for nothing that he is currently one of the leading contenders for the role of the president of Africa Development Bank (ADB). Adeshina’s revolutionary achievements in the agricultural sector has opened up opportunities in the sector that was hitherto comatose and begging for attention. From the availability of fertilizers to the ordinary farmers, to the loans available to them and the investment flowing into the sector, Akinwunmi is no doubt the most outstanding Minister under Jonathan and he should be proud of himself. One can only wish him luck in his aspiration to lead the ADB.

This makes no sense. Aganga, the only good minister Jonathan had isn't there. Only Nebo for selling distribution to distribute non-existent power so he can continue pumping public funds into them, and Wali, the most clueless persdon to occupy that ministry. Of course, Adeshina would be there. He was good at noisemaking with nothing to show for it.

pinkyruledworld:
Greedy Women.

U wan collect hamper of electronic gadget 4 shikini money. That one no say make others no still fall.
Anyways naija boys no dy carry last.

Obviously, the woman is the bad person here while the Nigerian fellow is the good.

Mogidi:
If she's a "Jumpoff" what would you call the "hoe" that married Edo state governor last week?

What makes Iara Fortes a "hoe"?

MizMyColi:




Make them find better lie abegiii
I go vex now carry belle.
Na exotic currencies I go fix my baby with.
World news coverage tins.
I don't do localz

Make sure Vanguard or Tribune gets the "exclusive". They will put it on their front page.

Yomieluv:
Hallucination is a bad Disease.

And here is Vanguard writing a headline that a baby has been born with beads even though the reporter didn't see the baby being born with beads. If I went to Vanguard with my phone and tell them I molded it out of garri and breathed life into it they will believe me and write a front page story on it in their piece of rag.

LaurelP:
Bunch of talent.

But which kain name be dat?
Splendour Joe king

It's quite a name, I won't lie.

ITbomb:
Former Model and air hostess a virgin?

Osho Baba has been scammed

I thought the governor already said she was never a model?

mirexxx:
hian! so no grown up female can be a virgin anymore I hate the way some of you reason jare

Don't mind them.

tuncy:
Its no news that the APC has campaign its self as an anti-corruption party. Since this is a democratic setting, the need to empower and make independent EFCC and ICPC. I believe we also know that how effective any organisation is can be traced to the head.

For me, I will suggest

Professor Attahiru Muhammadu Jega.

The outgoing INEC boss. From the level of calmness and discipline that he displayed, I think he will make a good EFCC or ICPC Boss.

What's your opinion?

How do Nigerians think sef?

Jega for EFCC is a bad suggestion. He simply can't handle that sort of thing and they will run rings around him. He will stick to due process, accept logical explanations and evil-minded people will thrive. You need someone who understands gutter ways and can break a few bones and crack a few skull when he has to. You don't send a lamb in amidst wolves. Ribadu had some success in that job because of his police background.

Emyemyberry:
i guana is the zoological name,monitor lizard is a nigerian parlance for iguana

Iguana isn't a zoological name. It's a native name in the New World. Monitor lizard isn't a Nigerian parlance. It's the recognised English way of referring to a variety of giant lizards found in Africa and Asia.

SeverusSnape:
No, It's not a monitor lizard.

There's quite a variety that comes under the name monitor lizard. You'd need the biological names to seperate them. Iguana isn't African and haven't been introduced here. Anybody calls anything an iguana here just misnamed it.

Emyemyberry:
Dats an iguana or monitor lizard

SeverusSnape:
Oh!... Iguana!
I know that creature. Thanks

NOT an iguana. A monitor lizard, I think.

So "ex-notorious armed robber" is some badge of honour; at least, one to be boasted about, right? People will latch on to anything that will bring money.

zaynie:
Madam Oby, keep making them uncomfortable till they bring back our girls.
Be on their neck, be their conscience, be their reminder incase they want to forget.

Almost 300 girls abducted since when?
NA is trying no doubt but sometimes we need people like Madam to make them do a better job.

Thank you.

bigass:
There are better hands

There definitely are, but you'd have to find them. The majority of Nigerians who are that good you either find in foreign universities or in the private sector. Even if you'd like to help out in the public service you'd need a godfather to recommend you. The plain fact is that we only get good public servants once in a while. Can you bet money that the incoming government will find someone just as capable to run that ministry? I bet not.

Buhari should reappoint Aganga.

kizzybalze:
Lets Not Kill Them, me i go say lets use them for SUYA. if u knw d way we have suya nite, lets roast them alive then give Nigerians knivies to cut from any part...,abi wetin una think?

We think you are a savage from the jurassic period.

BUTCHCASSIDY:
This nigga sure didnt need no good looks nor the personality to snag a hottie
Now drop that tea

Actually he has personality.

CANTICLES:
And so what , He Born as a JW, indoctrinated as a kid .... Is dat a point? Thats not a point at all , go into the world and see how those who call themselves christians and muslims alike indoctrinate their child . ALL PARENTS CARRY THEIR CHILDS WITH THEM TO CHURCH AND MOSQUES . Mayb thats what u call indoctrination. Nope , the parents are only doing their own jobs to train u .

BUT a person should decide for him/herself where he or she is going. NO MATTER THE OUTCOME . U DONT JUST GO TO THE UNIVERSITY to study a course because ur parents want u to study it , thats bad ! U must decide for urself.

Its very clear at the bold , that the problem of this so called franz is that he is participatin in a religion because most of his family are in the system , and it backfires at him .... Thats a mistake for an adult. No wonder he has crises in his conscience .

I actually laughed out loud while reading your post. You don't get it - that's not a problem. It appears you can't get it - that's a problem.

CANTICLES:
This thread doesnt make any sense as far as am concerned , u and ur mum are not interested in a religion , and to butter ur bread .. They disfellowhip u ! U SHOULD BE HAPPY IF TRULY U ARE NOT INTERESTED IN THEM , ..

BUT THE REVERSE IS HAPPENING HERE .... THEY ARE ALL GETTIN EMOTINAL AND DEPRESSED , even this so called franz that wrote crisis of conscience suffered emotionally . They felt like someone who just lost a pot of gold .

Either you are dumb or you don't get it. Lemme assume it's the latter. Some people were born Witnesses and spent all their lives there. Franz joined as a kid and was there till his 50's or 60's. Bethel work ensured he did not have kids. You are discouraged from "associating" with "worldlings" since you are "no part of the world as Jesus said". So you grow up having your entire family and and all your close friends within the system. I know one who said he actually had bad relationship with some of his non-JW relatives for having refused to attend their naming ceremonies and the like. (Some took it personal) Then one day, it's all gone - friends, kids, family, all. Because you confided in someone about a church teaching you thought was out of place and got hauled into the backroom and the backroom minders felt the church had to be saved from you.

Flytefalls:
Found it! It was the first to appear hahahahahahaha. I don't think my search included 'pdf' yesterday, but I'm still ashamed of myself for not having tried . Thank you!

Franz wrote a follow-up book, In Search of Christian Freedom. You may also want to give it a look after CoC.

Skywalker5:
Mods did that on purpose.Notice that thread itself does not have Nigeria as part of the subject.its only when you view it on front page it says Nigerian.

It makes them come across as. . . what's the polite word for dumb again? Chuka Umunna is clearly a nigerian name and that's sufficient to get anyone interested.
