Whilst I dont love Linda I admire her work ethics. I know for a fact during the election period she posted on her blog that reps from BOTH APC & PDP were approaching her to run ads and sponsored posts with big money but she didnt know whether to accept or not.She eventually did and we saw a huge push on adverts from both major parties so even in a court of law, they cannot charge her with anything.Companies pay several millions for 30 second ads in the superbowl, Xfactor finals, UEFA CL finals because of the audience market/numbrrs.Stella dimoko did the same, Bella Naija did the same....she provided a platform for which she was paidSo pls lets be factual Furthermore the reason why its more expensive to advertise on Facebook than your local newspaper is due to the subscribers hence linda would probably charge more for ads (rightly so) Last point .....if GEJ is found to have spent 50million of food supplies for children in JC penny or on a BMW, you dont go and charge BMW for crime....why because they provided a service.

am very pleased she has released a statement to this allegation.

As nigerians, we must learn to be genuinely pleased when someone does well or succeed in life. And just maybe, the gods/God/Universe might smile on us.
If you can't be happy for someone, then dont be sad or jealous rather be indifferent. ?......or better still learn their success story and apply it.

We are all witnesses to the fact that linda isnt an overnight story.....she worked and put in years and effort 2 her passion. Let us as youths celebrate a real success story.....no silverspoon...juju things...., sugardaddy things....afrocandy things ...just hardwork irrespective of your tribe or religious beliefs.....

Where is the greedy shemäle, NgeneUkwenu? This post is for you. Who knows, you may be cured of your greed after reading it.

When I say stable i mean uninterupted also i mean a situation where by you can never have a flat battery for even year. There are times i visit my home town just for a visit and I might end up staying for weeks, during those periods come rain or shining there won't be any power outage. It has been like that for many years according to my dad. Enough said, am talking about the largerst local government area in Nigeria, Akoko edo in Edo state. If you doubt me just take a visit there for high phone users your power bank will be useless.

Please how is Akoko Edo the largest local government area in Nigeria? Is it in terms of landmass or population? If you were referring to landmass, is it larger than Ovia South West or Orhiomwon LGs, and if in terms of population, is it more populous than Oredo, all in Edo State? Let's not even talk about other large or populous LGs in states like Niger and Taraba, or Lagos respectively. My guy, stop making unsubstantiated statements.

Meanwhile, the only place in Nigeria with very stable (constant) power supply is Bonny, and possibly a few other places in the Niger Delta.
The situation you described is not even up to what we have here in Maitama and other parts of Abuja.

walexwalata:
everything to some people is politics in Nigeria. what is wrong in us having the logo what it is? If you think with your religion, you must have your way in everything in Nigeria, then you are not fair and you cannot realize your expectation. How would you see it if the Muslims too ask for holiday on Fridays to allow them go to mosque like you people do on Sunday? You diplomatically argue, mend and manipulate issues to favour yourselves rather than allowing God to have His way. We understand the basis of your question. ''no be today''

Muslims are the best of mankind!

Guy, there is no justifiable reason for it except for the Islamic dominance and bigotry prevalent in many spheres of our national existence. English is our lingua franca not Arabic.
You asked about holiday on Friday forgetting that even your Quran doesn't prescribe holiday (or rest) for you Muslims on your day of worship. I've heard an Imam preach on it before. Apart from that, our colonial masters gave us the kind of system they operate in their country, and since it was convenient for you Muslims, you keyed into it. It wasn't because you guys only wanted peace, but simply because there was no basis for raising up dust there.

Lol, and even with the correction, the second sentence still doesn't compute .

You're right. It should actually read:

It's been long I heard from "Fatima Abbas Hassan last..



Happy retirement oga CY..

Fatima Abbas Hassan is now with NTA Channel 5, Abuja. I had been looking for her until I discovered recently that she's now with the Abuja local station. I don't know if it was a demotion, or she was posted from the HQ to help build the local station.

I wish Sir Cyril Stober the best in the rest of his life and his future endeavours. He has indeed been a blessing and an inspiration to many young Nigerians.

Did you people pass your SSCE & all

Instruction said "Describe in one word"...!!!

And I went through the whole first page to see where the professor who made 9 A1 in SSCE described the picture in one word, but I didn't. Aren't you worse than them? At least they said something about the picture, but you said nothing relating to the picture.

MAYOWAAK:
He was 19 years when he had the daughter.

Did he get married at 18, or he had premarital affairs with his girlfriend (the queen) which led to the birth of the daughter, and still later married the lady?

ibisko04:
How old is the king for him to have this big girl as daughter.

My brother, I tire o.
Ooni is said to be 40 years old, and that girl isn't anything less than 20, or even 25 years. How could she be the Ooni's daughter?

That aside, how on earth can a human being swallow $115,000? Is it physically or through jazz? The story doesn't add up.

Enesi47:
I don't blame you because you never see good infrastructure before, two estate in agege here cover those trash you are displaying before I talk of ajah, Lekki, v.i, festac town lol

Why don't you start by showing us pictures of estates in Osogbo, Akure, Abeokuta etc. Awka is not supposed to compete with Lagos in any way. Be realistic for once.

Babzrockman:
.....and some people will still come out to celebrate them. It's high time we all support this govt to fish out the bad eggs among us.
Imagine $2.1Billion for media purpose!
If one citizen manage to get #1billion, with d person spending #10,000 daily. D money will take him 250,000years to finish.

With that in bold, I can categorically say that either you didn't pass Mathematics in secondary school, or you don't know what 1 billion is. Guy, 1 billion is 1,000,000,000.
Now you can repeat you calculation again.
Anyway, don't bother cos you won't likely get it. It will take a person 274 years to expend #1 billion at the rate of #10,000 per day.

GudluckIBB:
Reality has dawn on dickson!
Sylvia didn't perform when he was the governor, tha same sylvia came back and he's giving you a run for your money head to head.

You ought to be ashamed Dickson.
Its just like lucky Igbindion coming back to win an election.
Dickson bury ur head in shame,if you had done well,Sylvia won't get one vote.

Sylva is running on the strength of the ruling party. Apart from that, they both have their strengths and weaknesses.
No matter how bad a governor performs, he will still have supporters whether in the present or in the future.

takedat:
I beg top disagree with you. Faleke can claim the supplementary election that brought Bello in is null and void since he has written to INEC and APC to remove his name as a deputy governorship candidate for the supplementary election. INEC and the APC cannot force a candidate to run in an election, and since one cannot run in an election without a complete ticket it makes the election null and void.

Faleke can dispute INEC's claim based on the PVC's distributed and the difference between the votes of Audu/Faleke's and Wada's. Yes, the electoral act only recognises the registered voters but Faleke's legal team will challenge INEC to explain who is a 'Qualified Voter' on an election day. If INEC's argument only supports 'registered voters and not of the use of PVC's, INEC would have shot itself in the leg meaning that elections conducted using PVC's are meaningless and unconstitutional and as such INEC cannot force the electorates to produce a PVC before voting since what they recognize is the registered voters only.

Thirdly, can you claim Bello has fulfilled all the constitutional requirements? Did Bello take part in the more than 2,500 polling units where elections were concluded in November? Isn't that part of the constitutional requirement?

Lastly, when the returning officer for the elections was returning Bello as the winner, he did not say APC alone but said Alhaji Yahya Bello of the APC haven polled the highest number of votes and satisfied all constitutional requirements is thereby returned elected'? Did Yahya Bello in actual sense pull the highest number of votes?

Guy, you nailed it! Oh my God! That was an awesome write up there!

Infact, send me your account number, let me pay in 100,000 naira likes for you now.

This rare scene happened at Ikeja under bridge few hours ago, I was at the bus-stop looking for a chilled drink to buy before a Lagos transit parked in front of me and right before we could say bingo the conductor was already raining curses on the passenger

The conductor was just about to say “your mother” the second time again before the passenger pounced on him before he could mention “your”, he was beaten to pulp before the Ikeja policeman came to rescue him

Hopefully, this will put a lot of conductors in check, especially the lagos agbero that can wag their dirty tongues for africa

http://www.naijanewsrave.com/hilarious-passenger-beats-conductor-to-stupor-photos/

Op, you don't know the meaning of "being beaten to pulp", while the site you got the news from is run by people that don't know the meaning of 'stupor'. Na wao.

Saturn213:
You guys keep making a comparison to Scotland but what you fail to realize is that the Scottish Independence movement is made up of intellectuals, academics and politicians. They provided evidence of how their country will be constituted if they got independence, from oil treaties with Norway, decommissioning of nuclear facilities. They had several bases covered before asking for independence. The Scottish people saw evidence of how their country will function if they leave the union.

It is not like Ipod run by an illiterate that goes on radio calling for the massacre of Nigerians and calling Leaders names and asking for his supporters to murder a well know Nigerian Pastor. He was even caught on video asking for money to buy arms. This is an unprofessional illiterate with no common sense.

The Scottish spent years trying to convince their people, they then formed a party - the SNP. After decades of campaigning, they got majority of political seats in the Scottish Parliament. Even after that, it took them years to convince the UK government to agree to a referendum. The whole process took over 50 years. It is a separation and not a tea party.

When Igbos are serious, they will vote for a party that wants Biafra independence, they will make them senators, HORs and governors. After that they can negotiate with the Nigerian state for a referendum.

You just dont wake up one morning and start shouting Referendum. It will take decades of negotiations and talks.

I may not like your usual stance on NL but for once, I agree you made some sense.

I'm Igbo but I don't really fancy this Biafran agitation. I believe that a prosperous Nigeria will do the Igbos better than Biafra.

My major annoyance with Nigeria is the injustice especially from the North. How can the same region that is educationally disadvantaged continually have more of their people in the civil service, political positions and the entire nation's work force?

Imagine that NW and NE recently got 25 and 26 Comptrollers of Nigerian Customs respectively, while the SE got only 4, yet the SE has at least double the enrolment into universities than either of NE or NW. This is itself is gross injustice.
Go through the entire Federal Civil service, and a similar situation keeps playing itself.
For how long shall this cheating continue, and we keep bearing it?

Fulani militants will enter people's villages and slaughter indigenes on their own soil, yet nobody can challenge them.
There are just a lot of ills going on in this nation, and many of them stem from the inability of northerners to treat other Nigerians equally.

I would have loved if we (Igbos) share the same country with only the SS, Middle belt and Yorubas. The country would have been a lot better and more peaceful than it is now. Even the Yorubas are being marginalised, though they are bearing it more than Igbos.

The best solution to the whole mess we're experiencing is a reversal to regional government. Let each region or geopolitical zone decide their fate and govern themselves, and let powers at the centre be reduced to the barest minimum. Nigeria will be a lot better, as it will spur competition among regions.

May God help this nation, even as I pray that there shall be no war, in Jesus name.

Sabo gari is densely populated with Igbos.Infact the market in question is mostly own by Igbos and other Southerners .This may just be in reinteration of the mosque burnt by IPOB yesterday in Onitsha...North sha

Guy, no mosque was burnt in Onitsha. It was all media propaganda to paint IPOB protesters bad.
Look at those pictures pictures:

eraly:
Bro, am not a muslim n for d fact dat am.not a muslim does not mean I dnt knw wat d inside of a mosque looks like. Firstly, dat building is a storey building which means it was decked. Atleast we can see som Pple standing right inside it in d first pix. Now at d ground floor of a mosque u'll find notin but praying mats. Or u wnt to assume dat d concrete blocks/wall at d ground floor shuld av burnt n av dark spot like d upper floor for us to knw dat d building got burnt? D dark spot we see at d top of d building ws as a result of d loggings used to make d roof of d building. D fact is dat d building has no roof cos d roof got burnt by d fire. I guez u avn't seen a burnt storey building b4.


As regards d governor, he did wat shuld b done. I ws only saying u shuld look at d direction he ws looking. Bro, going by wat we can see from d pix, lets call a spade a spade, d mosque ws burnt. Glaring evidence abound in d pix


Peace unto u bro

Look at these pictures and tell me if it still appears to you like the roof of that mosque was burnt. Guy that mosque had not been roofed, and no fire touched any part of the building. What you saw there are from the kiosks that were burnt.

Meanwhile, the reports flying around yesterday were that the mosque was burnt down . How mischievous can people be.

Ephemmm:
Stop being silly, the write up was written by Ihejirika, not me: it was joined to my assertion: stop confusing yourself. If confused, you can google it.

http://www.chikero.com.ng/ihejirika-blasts-igbos/

You are the one being silly here. Are you just dumb or what?
If you wanted to quote somebody, why didn't you make it obvious that you were quoting somebody, and possibly attach a link, if available? Why write somebody's thoughts as if it's your own thoughts? That's plagiarism, and it's a criminal offence.

So you joined somebody's assertions to yours without making a distinction in the write up, and you're telling me to stop being silly? You weren't taught report and essay writing in school? Abeg shift!

eraly:
Bro, I wunt trade words with u. Check d first pix again. What ws d governor n d soldier looking at. If dat mosque dnt get burnt, wat exactly did d governor doing infront of it? Check d trees at d front n d back of d mosque, cant u see their leaves got burnt? Or u wnt to tell me d smoke from d kiosk got to d tree at d back?

Following ur logic, how come the dark portion was just at the top of the wall, as the bottom of the dark segment is normal? What kind of fire in a building selects only the top of the walls which don't even have any wood work, and spares adjacent segments?
Did you see that the ground floor of the mosque which is in use is intact, while only the upper part (first floor) which is still under construction has that dark mark?

You asked what the Governor went to do there? Is that not what a responsible governor will do when a story like that is reported? Isn't it an appropriate move, to go and assess the situation by himself, especially knowing what a backlash from some beasts up north will result into?

And again, he most likely didn't go down to Onitsha just to go and inspect the mosque. He needed to go and see the situation by himself, especially bearing in mind that nine (9) people lost their lives yesterday. So he toured round the town to ascertain the level of damages.

So what are you now agitating for if not the total loose out in the current dispensation caused by your political miscalculation? For 6 years your own occupied the offices of Deputy Senate President, Deputy Speaker, SGF, Minister of Finance /Coordinating Minister of the Nigerian Economy, Ministers of Health, Aviation, Labour, Petroleum (by Marriage), Chief of Army Staff etc yet nobody complained that the Igbos got too much of the Federal Power rations neither did our highly placed brethren improve our lot in terms of development!

Other ethnic groups watched carefully and played their politics towards national relevance while we the Igbos got carried away and played politics of the pocket where semi-illiterate money bags charted the cause for us !

Those who have access to Aso Rock and got fat contracts sustained the lies to hoodwink both Aso Rock Gods and the Igbos. In blind response devoid of any logical reasonings the Igbos put all their fragile eggs in one basket that had lost form and shape to protect them. As the results of those fatal errors set in the same money miss roads are now fanning the ambers of secession as their next meal ticket bargaining chip while the teaming youth they lure with money and lies risk losing everything including their lives for nothing in the end.

Compare the Igbo TAN money bags and/or failed politicians to the likes of Aliko Dangote, Mike Adenuga, Femi Otedola who are hardly seen or heard playing partisan talk less of ethno-religious politics! Imagine Dangote gathering the leaders of Northerners in Lagos and imposing political party or candidate in Lagos State politics on them. Such is near impossible! The Igbos have allowed derogatory pocket politics to puncture their natural nobility as a people!

With men of honour and class like Ebitu Ukaiwe, Emeka Anyaoku, Ndubisi Kanu, Ben Nwabueze and others the Igbos should have no business listening to the likes of Ifeanyi Uba (Capital Oil), Chris Uba etc any time they talk politics!

Guy are you aware that you're deceiving yourself? At one point you were addressing Igbos as an outsider, and at another point, you were pretending to be Igbo. Who do you think you will deceive with that?

When some of you talk about this political miscalculation, I see it as sheer stupidity. Should all Nigerians have voted for Buhari in the last elections? If APC had won in all the states, what would have become of opposition politics in this dispensation? Aren't you aware that strong opposition builds a better democracy? If PDP dies completely in the SE&SS, what will be the motivation of APC politician to work, when they know that they will certainly win in the next election? Knowing that majority of APC members were in PDP, won't it be a return to PDP government, only with a different name?
So if all the former PDP members had decamped into APC and PDP completely collapsed as it happened in the North, who would they have been blaming now for the ills of the past administrations?
Can the Northern politicians who were formerly in PDP but now in APC be exonerated from the mistakes of the past, because they are no longer in PDP? Do men like El rufai, Kwankwaso, Atiku, Saraki, Makarfi, Tambuwal etc have any moral right to condemn PDP?

Can't Nigerians choose who to vote again? Must all Nigerians vote along the same line?
In 2011, Jonathan did woefully in the NW, yet they were fully carried along in GEJ's administration. Is that not how politics should be? Why does Buhari hate the SE too much?
In the same March election, SS gave Jonathan majority of his votes, not even SE. Yet Buhari integrated SS very well into his government,but SE has been totally neglected. Apart from the ministers who had to come from all the states, Buhari has not appointed anybody from the SE into any sensitive position in his government. Is that right and fair?

eraly:
As much as I dnt support violence n I stand wit igbos as regards dia agitation, I dnt knw y som of dem ar denying d mosque wsn't burnt. Is it dat they are trying to defend violence? Check d first pics. Y did d governor av to go n check if no mosque ws destroyed? Weldone Mr governor. Uv done well Sir.

Guy use your brain. What you're seeing there is as a result of smokes from the torched kiosks around the mosque, which stained the wall of the mosque.
How do you think a building under construction with only block and cement work, and without any wood will get burnt? What will sustain the fire without any wood or other inflammable materials?

FOLYKAZE:
Biafrans miscreants do not need weapons before burning down trucks of private company.

They do not need weapons before burning down a whole mosque

They do not need weapons before they destroy MTN office in Owerri.

I think the federal government needs to declare a state of emergency and force everyone to stay indoor. If hungry wire you for some days senses we stream into your head

Since you know they don't need weapons and everything, how are they being sponsored by Anyim?
How come the useless Sharia Reporters hasn't discovered the sponsors of Boko Haram?

And from the picture, how many people there have that shape of head?

Bevista:
Maybe I have a comprehension problem or the report is just unintelligible.

Are the youths not aware that MTN has been compelled by NCC to deactivate all unregistered lines? Or are they not aware of the N1.04T fine hanging on MTN neck?

It's like you don't have an MTN line, or you were lucky that ur line wasn't blocked.

I duly registered my line. Even when they started sending messages for customers to go and verify their sim registration, I did, as I had to spend over 2 hours in their office to be attended to. Imagine that after all these, they blocked my line last night. I went to their office in Maitama today, and it was like a market. So many customers were shouting and complaining. Many of them said they were going to port straight to Glo.

MTN will lose so many customers after this mess. I'm very sure of that.

Saturn213:
I think it is time Igbo elders caution the jobless miscreants causing all these mayhem

The SE governors should also have a meeting on how they can start creating an environment for gainful employment

The sight of the jobless IPOB youths roaming the streets during the protest was very saddening

I can really see why they are so angry, there is joblessness, poverty, dirt, frustration everywhere

I will even suggest they set up a charity for the SE. People are suffering there.

Stop showing your ignorance. Majority of those protesters have businesses they are running. Igbo guys are not lazy, so don't think those guys don't have anything to do, and that's why they are protesting.

South East doesn't need any damn charity. Apart from Lagos State, the south East is still more economically viable than the rest of the south West states and the whole of the Northern states.
https://www.nairaland.com/2732630/latest-ranking-states-financial-sustainability

The youth protesting aren't interested in listening to the governors. It's just the same way Boko boys don't want to listen to the political leaders of the north. I just hope the government will find a diplomatic way to handle this issue, but Buhari is not known for diplomacy.
