Disregard any fake news emanating from aregbesolas mistress deomelllo. Osun is the worst state to live in Nigeria. The workers are yet to be paid their one year salary.

IronPants:
I hate to say this but I think Buhari and APC has made Jonathan a saint.
North Korea should just nuke us already. Haba!!

MrHistorian:
And who told you all of those projects will be implemented/executed??

They are mostly 'miscellaneous'. . .amidst of excesses.

Nothing to worry about.

Expectedly,Some Pigs will hurriedly suspend their brain and shamelessly bare their ignorant self without adequate knowledge about the subject of discourse.

LionDeLeo:
Good infrastructure and availability of jobs are directly related. A leader thinks more of the future than the present and sacrifice is the price that should be paid. This is why some people are in mass exodus from one barren potor land in search of greener pastures in the sw with good infrastructure because the leaders of those potor lands use their state monies to invest elsewhere.

Kudos to the governor, long live Osun state, long live the people of Osun state.

IkpuMmadu:
Ndigbo showed solidarity with their brother Innoson, while you showed solidarity with your ethnicity by rising in defence of GTB because it was founded by persons of the same ethnicity as you. Yet, you turned around to accuse the Igbo man of being a tribalist. Did you not exhibit the same tribal sentiments as the same people you are accusing?

Let me ask you, since when did it become unacceptable to you that Ndigbo should never exhibit kindred spirit towards their own, particularly when he/she is unjustly persecuted?

People of other ethnicities love self preservations of their own a lot. But when the Igboman exhibit the same love for his kind, he will be called names. If calling us tribalists is okay by you because we stood for our own, then, we are happy to be called tribalists.

BoneBlogger:
A young Nigerian technology entrepreneur, Charles Onu has invented an artificial intelligence system that analyses a baby’s cry to give warning signs of baby asphyxia, which is the third leading killer of infants worldwide.

Ubenwa, which means “baby’s cry”, helps parents and caregivers detect birth asphyxia earlier, without having to wait on doctors.

Birth asphyxia happens when a baby’s brain and other organs do not get enough oxygen before, during or right after birth. It is the third leading killer of infants worldwide.

Ubenwa, an Android app, takes an infant’s cry as input, analyses the amplitude and frequency patterns of the cry and provides instant diagnosis of birth asphyxia.

The startup has earned international recognition and is in the final round for the global IBM Watson AI XPRIZE competition, which has a $5 million prize.

Charles Onu, Ubenwa’s founder and principal innovator, says the company is presently conducting clinical validation exercises in Nigeria and hopes to make the service available and free for use.

Olaleye Aluko, Abuja

President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the extension of the tenure of the Chief of Defence Staff, the Chief of Army Staff, the Chief of Air Staff and the Chief of Naval Staff.

The approval was confirmed by the Minister of Defence, Mansur Dan-Ali, who noted in a statement by his Public Relations Officer, Colonel Tukur Gusau, on Monday that the President extended the tenures “having carefully reviewed the ongoing military operations across the country.”

The statement, which did not specify the duration of extension, means that the CDS, Gen Abayomi Olonisakin, the army chief, Lt. Gen Tukur Buratai, the air chief, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, and the naval chief, Vice Admiral Ibok Ete-Ibas, will continue in office.

Igbos beware.. No doubt they'll be the usual targets

Afterall, they have all been jubilating on Nairaland ever since the news broke out.
#peace!

python1:
Villagers are saying that the bombing was targeted at them,not the herdsmen

If I may ask, for what exactly? Anyway, Ugandan jews go swallow all the hooks, lines and sinker join.

BeReaSonAble:
One of the best building in Okene, kogi state. own by the present governor of kogi state AYB.

gidgiddy:
No! This is just criminal activity according to the government of Nigeria.

The real concern should be unarmed IPOB that have never killed anyone. They are the real terrorists we should be thinking about because the Biafran flag contains nuclear missles that can kill millions.

Fulani herdsmen killers are just criminals

IPOB that hasnt killed anybody are the real terrorists we should be concerned about.

I propose that Fulani killer herdsmen should be given an award, they are just criminals. They could have been terrorists like IPOB and not killed anyone.

It is time we stop talking about herdsmen, they are just mere criminals

Lets talk about the terrorists like IPOB

femidejulius:
Initially, he applied to the court to stop being Kanu's surety after Kanu the Coward fleed due to an ordinary dancing phyton.

Now this.

The Senator is clearly confused and has shown by all means he regretted standing surety for the run away CanuWard.

In a related development, the election Kanu said won't hold has been held.

codedguy1:
This is just the plain truth.

Jubrin by virtue of the fact that he is president is a major calamity and disaster even if he does nothing talkless about now that he tries to do something.

Jubrin is a figure head and the cabals are the ones controlling him because he would rather have his brothers around him giving him all sorts of elementary advise than have sound people give him good advise.

The looting we will hear when this dullard eventually leaves office will make the people who stole during Jonathan's time look like learners.

Its embarrassing having this jubrin as president.

Chikelue2000:
just imagine!!, not even 3 years in office n he has started looting?

Why do you need to lie just to justify nonsense?

You people will just sit down in Sambisa forest and be throwing innuendos around.

adem30:
Your question should be Is Rwada greater then lagos? if its because of constant electricity Ben Bruce claimed rwada is enjoying is the reason to compare it to Nigeria, thats senseless

Okanokan:
Why zone to the South East when they no longer want to be part of Nigeria, why? Why must a foreigner be our Vice President?
