Please what is an express way? Where people drive the way they like? You can't fault the driver where there is no known law he has broken. Express way or not their should be a speed limit and warning signs.
Secondly, when you make a law, there should be people to enforce that law. I'm not saying FRSC officials should be stationed at every 50metres (I wonder where you got that from) but their presence should be effectively felt more often. Truth is, if the authorities are up and doing there duties the way they should, all this issues would have been cut down by 98%

You really spilled this out of your mouth?

How can you enforce speed limit on the expressway, assuming it does exist?
I drive within Abuja city. I know most of the roads despite being very neat and well maintained don't have speed limit signs, but majority of drivers drive sanely. Accidents rarely happen inside town, except on the expressways.
It's only occasionally that FRSC, VIO or Police stand by the roads and check vehicles. Whenever they are there, they even worsen things cos they cause traffic congestion, till they leave.

Many states don't have the luxury of having numerous FRSC and VIO staff, but there is still basic traffic order in the states.

My dear, please stick to your own opinion. I'm done.

fujirice:
OK good, now let's disect the scenario and see what we can find.
Why I blamed the authorities can be found in these questions: is there a speed limit for that road? An if there is, is there a sign clearly stating it? Are there adequate traffic signs, road markings etc? Where are our FRSC officials in a day like that? Is there even a law guiding the usage of that road? If there is, who is enforcing it?
You see? I can go on and on and if you sincerely look at these questions, you'd see that our authorities are really lacking. The report said the trailer was speeding, why won't it "when" there is no set speed limit it exceeded.

Did you see the first paragraph of the post:

Thats how I was queuing for petrol on the express along alapere some minutes ago only to hear very loud disturbing sounds.

My guy, don't forget that we're in Nigeria. Which authorities are you talking about? So you want FRSC officials to be stationed at every 500m distance of all the roads in Nigeria? Please be realistic! Again, do you know the time of the day it happened? Is it within the job specifications of FRSC officials to be stationed on all the roads 24 hours of the day?
Speed limit is out of it cos it was along the express, if the op truly knows what expressway is, except he meant dual carriage way.

See, this whole thing boils down to wisdom on the part of the drivers. Speed limit or not, common sense tells you that as a driver, you have to slow down when you start approaching busy segments of any road.
Many states that are less developed than Lagos don't even have very good roads, not to talk of speed limits on their roads or FRSC officials, yet we don't so much hear of falling trucks.
Now what do you say about trailers flying unto the rails of bridges? Is that FRSC officials problems too?

A lecturer that in his school days, came off with a 2nd class, is the best man for the job of warning and encouraging students to strive for the attainment of a first class.

Taaa! Who dash am 2nd class.
Graduate wey get pass for uni dey tell undergrad how e go take study, make e get first class.

fujirice:
Yes. And if you want I will elaborate what I mean by that.

I'm listening

I know someone who became a Medical Doctor at age 18.
Also as at 2008 I saw a girl who was 11 years old in SS1 as at 2008 oo, so am looking forward to seeing 15years children that are graduates already.

For your mind now, u sabi lie. Contunuu, God dey watch you with onyokometer.

jomoh:
In this days where companies want 21year old graduate with 5years experience. Its not too early.

Gone were the days of minimum age. As long as the parents are up and doing in their tasks as parents. It will take a lot of monitoring and guidance from the parent of the child.

If they are able to enter University(especially a private) they get to have a second degree or early masters.

fujirice:
Believe me, the driver is the last person you want to hold accountable for this. Is this the only trailer that has falling this month? Can you beat your chest and say that all the ones that has fallen so far was also caused by a drunk driver? I hold the authorities accountable for all these trailers that has been falling since God-knows-when on our roads

Authorities? Why? From the pictures we've been seeing, most of them happen on good roads without pot holes. Check out the road in that picture. Now, what do you say about those that climb and almost fall off overhead bridges? Still the authorities' fault?

Thats how I was queuing for petrol on the express along alapere some minutes ago only to hear very loud disturbing sounds.
Alas what my eyes felt like I was watching a movie. A trailer with a 40ft container which was on high speed lost control and its brakes also.
The end result; its container detached and hence its tumbling on the road
Miraculously there was no casualty

Why was the driver on high speed, especially knowing that he was driving a big vehicle, and was driving within a busy area? Majority of these trailer accidents are caused by the drivers. Many of them drink and smoke, and thus lose their sense of reasoning and calculation on the wheels.
May God save His people.

Aufbauh:
Braithwaite should not forget to caution the wailing wailers not to start weeping all over the places shouting Witch hunting, political persecution, selective justice and dictatorship by PMB when the jungle has mature.
Their prosecution charges are undergoing press up in PMB's memo.

My guy, be certain that nobody will shout as long as the prosecutions are not one sided. But how can the prosecutions not be one sided when Amaechi and Fashola are both already ministers? How can it not be one sided when Obasanjo is the navigator or APC, and Atiku is BOT Chairman?
Frankly speaking, most of us hate the corrupt politicians. We only "wail" when we see selective justice being displayed, especially in such a way as to intimidate us (those in the opposition) with it. Selective justice is in itself injustice, and injustice is evil. Compare the treatment of President Shehu Shagari and VP Alex Ekwueme by Buhari in 1984. That was a clear example of selective justice, which was gross injustice to Ekwueme and his folks.
If the fight against corruption can't be wholesome, then let's stop the deception.

jamalsky:
If a country has been messed up by a group of people for over 16 years & we are stupidly expecting things to turn around in less than a year,that means we are all being unrealistic & just a bunch of pessimistic thinkers.All these problems being talked about today started years ago by successive governments & the worst problems began from 1999 & we know those that were ruling us then till this year.Let us make one thing clear,as in very clear,crude oil sells for less than $50 a barrel now,our economy over the years has been solely dependant on oil,common what miracle are we expecting to automatically have economic boost in the country at this time?Our economy would be in decline until we diversify & that is a process ,not just we sit down & start lamenting & fooling ourselves on social media & all.I have not seen people come up with constructive blueprints, publish articles on what could be done to make the country move forward,not talking with reference to idiots that have messed the country up for years making them feel like saints,with the crop of ministers we have in place now ,it is obvious that things should get better & policies put in place appropriately. We should all know that the country cannot afford to fail now & we have someone who sincerely has the interest of the nation at hand,so let's just be constructive in our criticisms & hope for the best. GOD BLESS NIGERIA.

All the facts you listed were evident when APC was campaigning, and yet they promised Nigerians heaven on earth. It can be clearly stated that APC won the election on false pretence, which is evil.

Nobody is expecting Nigeria to be like Dubai yet, but we want to see a serious sign of commitment from the government, and we want to see an effort to fulfill the campaign promises. So far, NOTHING tangible has been done. Never forget that his nepotism has created wounds that will never heal in the heart of many Nigerians, especially those from the south.

Frankly speaking, Buhari doesn't deserve to lead Nigeria in this age. He's too rigid, undiplomatic, nepotistic, bigoted, bitter and unforgiving, to lead a fair government that will prosper all Nigerians.

gretblue:
Na today?.it was not injustice in the last administration under Gej when the South East had:Deputy senate president,deputy Speaker,SGF in person of Anyim,. perhaps it was not injustice when when Igbo ran as Minister of Finance and coordinating Minister of the Nigeria Economy for 6yrs.When you ran for Health Minister and Minister for Aviation.When the labor ministry all belong to eastern region.Minister for petroleum and Gas(by marriage) chief of Army staff all belong to indigbo in the last administration.Your myopic type never raise an eye brow. Continue wailing.

And in the same dispensation, your core north had VP, Speaker, CJN, President of Customary court of Appeal, Head of Civil Service of the Federation, Chief of defense staff, IGP, NSA etc. Of all the positions Igbos occupied, can you tell me anyone that is higher ranked than the VP and Speaker?

Igbos have been completely left out of Buhari's government based on his appointments, and we've gradually accepted our fate, but to carry that height of bigotry to the civil service is extremely painful.
The south East has at least double the number of enrolments into the universities than the north west, but the north west could comfortably produce 25 comptroller, 6 times of the measly 4 positions given to the south East. Prior to now these appointments/promotions have been made on a geopolitical zone basis, in a bid to respect federal character.

Please don't tell me that you're justifying this ill.

jaymichael:
The op is just trying to be mischievous, he is trying to deceive those who don't understand how Civil service or the customs work. He hammered on the "appointment" of comptrollers. He is wrong in many ways.
Firstly, comptrollers (AREA ADMINISTRATORS) are not apppinted. They are promoted. It is the highest position a Nigerian customs officer can attain or promoted to, based on merit. From the next positions of ACG, DCG and CG are political appointments sort of. They form the management team of the Nigeria Customs Service. The position of DCGs, by principle of federal character is spread among the 6 geo-polical zones. The DCG positions are 6, the DCGs head the 6 departments of the NCS. That principle still obtains in this Buhari's administration. The 6 Deputy comptroller generals (DCGs) are picked (each from the 6 geo-polical zones) go to customs.gov.ng and click on the management team to clarify your doubts. I don't know of any rule that says assistant comptroller generals (The ACGs) must be drawn equally from the 6 geo-polical zone. If there is any, you can share with me.
No government comes to power and retire all the comptrollers and appoints new ones because they are never appointed in the first place. they got to that position via promotion based on merit. It is technical and logical truism that any region that has the most number of qualified DCs (DEPUTY COMPTROLLERs) stands a chance to have the most nunber of comptrollers. A lot of factors may inform or affect one's career climb, these include, years of service, age, outstanding achievements that may warrant rapid or double promotion, querry that may lead to demotion or halt in promotion for a number of years, retirement etc. It should also be noted here that it is not the case that all the region gets equal number of officers recruited on an annual basis. All these factors may lead to a lopsided number of high ranking officers qualified for promotion to the highest cadre over the years even if there is an equal number of recruited officers from the 6 geo-polical zones as at the time of entering the service. This lopsided "situation" could be to the benefit of ANY geo-polical zone.
The op is just being mischievous. There is no marginalization anywhere.
https://www.customs.gov.ng/About/management_team.php

Are you really trying to justify this mess? Please which region are you from?
That SE had just 4 comptrollers and NW & NE had 25 and 26 respectively is justifiable to you?
Or you are okay that the 3 Northern zones had 69 while the 3 southern zones had only 25 just about ⅓ of what their northern counterparts had?

Does it make any sense to you that Northerners have far less enrolment into the universities than their southern counterparts, only for them to fill up most positions in the civil service?
It means that for example, 70% of Northern graduates get employed into the federal civil service, while only about 5-10% of their southern counterparts get the same opportunity (I chose the figures arbitrarily. The ratio is what I want you to consider). Is this fair by any means?

Nigeria isn't just working, and as far as this kind of injustice thrives, then I'm sorry to say that this country doesn't deserve to survive.
I personally don't support the Biafran agitation, as I believe a prosperous Nigeria is of greater benefit to Igbos than Biafra, but when things like this keep going on unabated, I have no choice than to wish for Biafra to succeed.

My boss who is an Obstetrician and an Igala man said he'll prefer an Okun man to rule Kogi than an Ebira man. I know Okene people are Ebira, and they (Okene's) are among the most difficult and violent Nigerians I have heard of.
May the best man win the case in Kogi, and may his tenure be peaceful, and bring development to the state.

Kyase:
Just like the TIV's in Benue, though I'm tiv,I feel idomas should be given a chance.

Is David Mark not Idoma? How could they have someone like him, and still be suppressed in their own state? It doesn't make any sense.

Forwetinnah:
What is this...obviously a lot of people don't understand her story. She was okay with the "affair" until he started trading her off to his friends. Total abuse if you ask me, she never denied she loved or had a relationship with him but that he treated her like trash

The part where you said Jealous guys don't pass their girls on to be gang raped by their friends. ..they do! That's their way of getting their pound of flesh or getting over their girls. Granted, @Sugarbelly wasn't completely innocent and was into kinky stuff...she still wanted it ONLY with the man she calls a boyfriend NOT with him and his friends

In her story, she made us understand that she went through hell for the 6 months they were together, but in all these chats and emails, there was even no clear mention of it.
Again, she was still begging for his love even after more than one year of their separation. At what point did she now develop the post traumatic stress disorder, panic attacks etc she told us about, if she was still cool with him even after moving over to the US?
I maintain that even if the guy raped her, it wasn't the rape that crushed her, rather the fact that the guy dumped her.
The girl is even a slůt, for her to have been involved in those sexcapades including the fellåtio experiences at just 17. I feel ashamed that I believed and supported her at the beginning.

Aguntasolo1:
Didn't Yerima marry a thirteen year old? If Yerima was not prosecuted, how would you prosecute Audu whose Sugarbelly was 17 at the time? Even if Sugarbelly was actually RAPED, she wouldn't get justice in Nigeria. You have not been able to convict people who fraudulently enriched themselves even when solid pieces of evidence abound, yet you are sounding confident about a rape case. On a good day, rape is difficult to prove not to talk of ones where there was friendship, then relationship and when the lady in question made written admission such as "I like it when you bleeped me". She doesn't have a solid case. She could legitimately be a victim but her case appears too watery to warrant the sorts of hope being expressed by people.

However, society can shame the Audus but I am not too sure it can go beyond just that.

Having read some of the emails between the two, I feel very disappointed with the girl. I've basically lost all the sympathy I had for her

First, at just 17 years, she was already enjoying sex with a guy she met barely a month previously, despite the fact that she didn't know him well. She was even sucking the guy's d*ck in the name of bj, and she evidently relished the experience. I was ashamed reading that.

Secondly, this girl was ready to get married to a Muslim and dump her Christianity, just because the guy was from an influential home. Even if she was in love, her Christian foundation was very poor, to the point that a relationship mattered more to her than her faith.

Thirdly, she was still in love with him even after moving over to the US, up to one year after their separation, as evidenced by the emails they exchanged. I think she even sent her nude pics while she was in the US.

Like somebody said, she might have been raped but it wasn't the rape that crushed her. She obviously still loved the guy after the rape incidents, if indeed she was actually raped. What I think crushed her was the fact that the guy dumped her, started dating and married another girl. I'm sure it was at the point of jilting her that all these bitterness about him started.

I'm still disappointed with the girl. I assumed her to be a decent girl who was abused continually against her will only to discover that she was enjoying the sexcapades she had with him, and still loved him up to one year after she moved over to the US.

donphilopus:
He hasn't goofed any shishi. BTW, the said person is different from the Mohammed being projected by the APC Kogi East. The said person is Mustapha. According to the lawyer, he would provide everything for all to see. I'm patiently waiting to see. I don't think she was also forced to take a nude pix of herself. .Let's just wait and see sha!

You simply know nothing about the law. Even a consensual sexual intercourse by an adult with a 17 year old (who is obviously a minor), is regarded as a rape in the eyes of the law.
Once the Mustapha guy establishes that he had any sexual relationship with the said girl when she was still 17 years old, then he has indicted himself and will go down. It doesn't matter whether she sent him any nude pics or not. Infact, even if she was the one that seduced him, he will still be charged for rape.

As for the nude pics, don't forget that she already mentioned that the Mustapha guy took nude pictures of her, against her will. It was the same pictures he threatened to use against her, which made her live in fear all those years, and refused to report the rape incidents.

I know the girl wouldn't be completely innocent, as some of the reports from the Mustapha guy would indict her, but as long as she was 17 years old then, Mustapha is a goner.

PassingShot:
Sorry for disappointing you boy!

Oya, fault my submission?

You just had to insult me by calling me a boy. What makes you feel you're older than me? Even if you are, does that make me a boy to you? If you're not above 35years,why should you call me a boy?

To your question, earlier, you called Fayose a bastärd, simply because he had the courage to speak out to the president. Throughout his address (by his aide, anyway) to the president, he never insulted the president, nor referred to him with an abusive term. He simply called him out to face the act of governance for which he was elected, and stop empty talks and propaganda. You labelled him a bastard, and said he isn't a true omoluabi.

Now, you who apparently are a true Yoruba son goes about insulting the past president, calling him clueless. You and your ilks (most of whom haven't achieved much in life) have labelled him with all manners of derogatory terms both in the past, and even now, despite that he (GEJ) is probably up to or even more than 30 years older than you. Yet Fayose, a sitting governor who is barely 20 years younger than Buhari cannot call him to order, otherwise he'll be tagged a bastard.

You're clearly not a very rational being. Whenever an argument doesn't favour you, you resort to calling of names. SaharaReporters called Buhari Junketer-in-chief but instead of you showing us how wrong SaharaReporters were and how important those travels are, you diverted attention to clearly irrelevant matters, and resorted to name calling.

Even though many PDP supporters here are like you, it still doesn't take away the fact that you're often irrational in your defense of APC. Therefore I repeat to you, grow up!

OZAOEKPE:
Who still listens to this mad woman, someone that scammed the country with her BBOG campaign.

The Mumu woman has forgotten our girls for just one girl that is even an olosho. @obyezeks is an ape....

I read some of your posts where you talk/mention about God, and I read other posts that reek of vulgarity, like this one. Where do you stand bro? If you want to be a Christian, then show it in your speech and conduct. Remember that God will judge every vain and foul words we use here on earth.
Be wise bro.

PassingShot:
Children of hate and anger, is SaharaReporters no longer owned by Tinubu or APC as you normally claim when their stories don't favour you?

TANoids lack common sense! When good news is reported about Nigeria, it's the Clueless legacy but when any bad news about the economy surfaces, it's Buhari's fault! May God deliver them from their affliction that makes them reason irrationally.

Just yesterday, I mentioned that you were the most rational APC e-warrior on NL, but I can clearly see that I was wrong. You're worse than many of them, cos your compatriots avoid threads that expose the weakness of your demigod, while you bounce into such threads only to expose your stupidity.

Guy, grow up!

arsetalks:
Maybe. From reports, you may be right. But I say of Fayose because I know him well enough. I can't go into details but I do know him well.

Okay.
Anyway, many politicians are devil incarnates. If you hear some details about Oshiomhole, you may hate him for life.
I respect Fayose cos he has a way of reminding the ruling party that it's not everybody that is asleep or has lost his sense of reasoning.

arsetalks:
Wow, you want 3 election riggers like Fayose in Nigeria? Well there are many of them. Difference is that others are remorseful unlike that excuse of a governor.

I feel for Ekiti people. Their offense must have been grievous for GOD to have punished them with Fayose.

If Fayose is a punishment to Ekiti people, I wonder what Aregbesola is to Osun people? I guess we can confidently say that the devil has built his headquarters in Osun.

tempex88:
1. BudgIT should show us the acknowledged copy of their letter to the SGF.
2. Complete copy of the response of the SGF.

I don't know y it is just letterhead and snapshots they are providing. what are they hiding?

Don't bother yourself about that. If what they posted are lies, the OSGF will counter it very soon.

For now, El Rufai is a shameless liar and propagandist.
My only joy with APC is that after all these propaganda of theirs, they can't just afford to fail Nigerians, cos it will be terrible for them. So to protect the little trust Nigerians have in them, they will certainly work. Whether their work will satisfy Nigerians is what I can't say now

enstack:
I had to respond to you. Perhaps you are missing the point here. I never said he is too loving or something. If i am to write all the silly things he does in the name of love you wont even be able to read it all. I just put a few.

Even neighbors around have noticed it. They have called me to order many times! His elder sister accused me of giving him a love portion. Its that bad! You call this love? Then I'm sorry i don't want such love anymore. The other day, i asked him to purchase something for me, he had no money, instead of him to talk to me about being short on funds, he went to take a loan to get it. Something that even I dont need so urgently(He is still owing his partner for it)

So sir, read again and understand! Dont be to hasty in talking or commenting. Call me a girl, Its no big deal. After all, this same Man threatened to stand in the middle of the road if i dont accompany him on his field trip. This type of a man can commit suicide if i dont give him what he wants at a given time.

Take time to pray and fast about him. Ask your pastor or any Christian brethren close to you to join in in prayer for a few days. When you're done, create time to discuss with him at home.
Tell him about your feelings, and how you don't appreciate some of the things he does in a bid to make you happy.
Tell him that he has a right to refuse you some things when they're not convenient for him, and you won't take offence. He basically does want to offend you at any time, and at the same time doesn't want you to offend him too. He probably thinks that when 2 people get married, their wills get moulded into one, and they lose their sense of individuality. He thinks 2 of you should always reason alike, want the same thing at every point in time, and do virtually the same thing always. He lacks a detailed understanding of what marriage is, probably because he's beclouded by his passion for you.
That's why I said you should pray and talk to him. I talked about prayer cos you're trying to cause an attitudinal or even personality change in an adult, so it shouldn't be easy. But I want to assure you that it's still possible.

Also on your part, you should force yourself to start making some moves to make him happy too. Like some people said, he's scared of losing you. He's so into you that he can't imagine anything taking you away from him. He's excessively obsessed with you. When you show him that you're also into him, and portray it in your actions, he'll be more at rest, and some of those tendencies will die down.

Make attempts to initiate romance as often as you can, even when you're not in the mood. Do it as a sacrifice initially, and I can bet that with time, you will start enjoying it. Deliberately force yourself to spend time with him. Find out what he wants and start doing them when it's possible for you. Also take time to call him when he's at work to find out how he's doing.
When it becomes clear to him that you're with him always, and he will never lose you, this reverence he has for you will gradually transform into a more mature love and respect.

Again, don't forget that your marriage is only one year old. This is usually the most difficult part of marriage, when couples are still learning to live with one another. Don't worry, things will iron out gradually.
He's still madly in love with you. You haven't had any child for him yet, so you probably still have that smashing, lovely body and figure. By the time your figure starts changing after giving birth, and by the time the excitement of love starts fading in him, the real man you desire will show up. My only concern is that by then, you most likely will start complaining that he doesn't love you again, and might even start accusing him of cheating.

I get over 50 mentions from u daily...
Easy ooo. Lol

In a space of 3½ years that you've been on NL, you have created over 2700 topics? That's an average of more than 2 topics every single day. Oga, how you dey do am?

NgeneUkwenu:
When the 2016 Budget is made public! You will appreciate the effort this government is making to better the lots of Nigerians!

Forget about hate mongering from the IPOB and Biafrans, the NEVER Still Reconcile the FACT, That someone they hate, Wished Evil and Vilified Could Become The President!

Sometimes, you write like someone who has difficulty with reasoning properly.

In your earlier post, you talked about 8tn naira budget, even at a point when Nigeria cannot finance a 4tn naira budget. Is the FG going to borrow over 4tn naira to fund an 8tn naira budget, considering the slump in crude price?
It's just the same way you all were talking about paying 5k per month to 25 million poor Nigerians, when from all indications, it wasn't going to be possible.

You guys shouldn't think we're all fools or babies.

obailala:
Lol... This is simply an insight into the psyche of the kind of people who support PMB. Unlike the 'G-E-J is G-O-D' squad, most of the people supporting PMB (especially from the south) are purely Nigerians who want a better quality of leadership in their country and these people will call a spade a spade. The allegiance is to good leadership and performance, not to senseless and shameless clannishness or religion.

PMB has committed several annoying gaffes so far in his first 6 months, but only an irrational 'G-E-J is G-O-D' adherent would wail that a 6 months old administration is a failure (compared to a 5 year long disaster of the past).

I will only believe you when I see people like NgeneUkwenu, Demdem, Omenka, and all those NL abókis critic Buhari's government constructively, like Passingshot has done.

He (Passingshot) is far more rational than most of Buhari's supporters. It's unfortunate that he'll likely be among the first to withdraw their support for Buhari. By then, he will go dumb on NL, for fear of being labelled a wailer.

Anyway, nice job Passingshot.

INSTEAD OF THE IGBOS TO DEMAND GOOD LEADERSHIP AND JOB CREATIONS FROM THEIR GOVERNORS LIKE EL-RUFAI IS DOING UP NORTH, THEY ARE SHOUTING BIAFRA AS IF MONEY AND GOOD LEADERSHIP WILL GROW ON TREES IN THEIR YEYE BIAFRA LAND. SOME PEOPLE HAVE EYES THEY CANT SEE. THEY JUST ALLOWED NNAMDI KANU TO MISLEAD THEM AND SET THEIR PRESIDENTIAL AMBITION BACKWARDS BY ANOTHER 100 YEARS. I PITY THE IGBOS INDEED

You keep littering all the posts on NL with this rubbish. Are you okay?
Is Obiano not a governor in an Igbo state? Is he not among the most performing governors in Nigeria presently? Was Sullivan Chime of Enugu not among the most performing governors in the last dispensation?

Yes, Igbos may find it difficult producing a Nigerian president anytime soon, but how does it matter? Niger State has produced 2 Nigerian Heads of State (IBB and Abdulsalam Abubakar), but it's nowhere as developed as Rivers, Enugu, Akwa Ibom and some other states that haven't produced a Nigerian president.

Obasanjo was president for 8 years and Jonathan was president for 5 years. Can you list out what these men achieved for Ogun state and Bayelsa state, or for the Yorubas and Ijaws respectively.

Please grow up! You enjoy fanning the embers of ethnic hatred here on NL. It will definitely consume you one day, if you don't change.

TJhimself:
I honestly do not understand how most of this guys think , I can see they all pray that Buhari fails so they can say we told you not to vote for that Dullard . But what do they really stand to gain if he fails , this man is trying to fix the problem your beloved Gej created for us . They are not just happy and they will never be by the grace of God una go huge transformer last last ni ...

Shut up there! Fix problem which GEJ created? Are you sane at all? After all efforts GEJ made in improving power production and supply with the building and commissioning of several power plants, you open your mouth and talk this trash.
Was power production in GEJ's time worse than it was in Obasanjo's time? If no, then how come it was GEJ that created the problem.
As for the economy being in a bad shape, is GEJ the cause of the drop in crude price? All crude oil dependent economies are struggling now, including the mighty Russia, yet you're talking rubbish.
I'm sure that after 4 years of Buhari's tenure, you will still be blaming GEJ for Buhari's failure.
It's 6 months already. Let Buhari get to work and stop blaming past administration.

CACAWA:
[size=18pt]Has anyone noticed that many states in Nigeria are bigger than all the South East states combined (Abia, Anambra,Ebonyi,Enugu,Imo)? [/size]

And what has that got to do with anything?

Singapore has a total area of 647km², compared with Nigeria's area of 923,768km². It means Nigeria is 1427 times larger than Singapore.
But considering the economy, Nigeria's GDP per capita is a meagre $2,940 or so, while Singapore's GDP per capita is a whooping $55,500. It then means that the economy of Singapore is about 19 times better than that of Nigeria.

Kogi state is about 5 - 6 times larger than Anambra State, but is much poorer in all ramifications. Same applies to other large states like Niger, Yobe, Taraba, Adamawa which are all over 5 times larger than Anambra, but are all poorer and much less advanced.

My question to you now is, what has landmass got to do with development?

Segadem:
Yeah,just because Lagos is the busiest road in Africa.

Is Lagos a road?

Even though I don't approve of masturbation, I don't however see the reason why she should be crying. If he's a Christian, then probably he's weak willed. She will need to encourage and support him, to break out of the act, if it's a habit for him.
She should also know that masturbation is better than cheating, so if he did that as a way to prevent himself from cheating, then he should be corrected/advised in love.
People however should know that sex and all the activities directly connected to it are meant for the married. Masturbation is a way of personally inducing orgasm, and it's a sin before God, cos you can't induce orgasm without allowing your eyes and/or mind to be saturated with lust, which in itself is sin.
Young men and women, please abstain from premarital sexual activities. It pays.
