AtbuAbdul:
This name reminds me of my very good friend, with whom I studied Civil Engineering at ATBU Bauchi, Engr Williams Muhammed. The combo was always funny and strange then but I later got used to it. I guess, just like my friend, the man may have reverted back to Islam from a Christian background.

I also have another friend Abubakar Chimezie, who also reverted to Islam.

Reverted? What's that supposed to mean?

Meninmen:
The South (probably SE) for chairman of APC. It naturally follows that the North will produce the president and the SE VP

SE cannot have both National Chairman and VP.

ekestic1976:
PDP have so conveniently chosen to forget those months we would queue at the petrol stations day and night, waiting in vain for a drop of petrol which sold at N700 per litre! Nigerians are ever so forgetful. Even then, I don't support this obnoxious increase. I'm only saying that it doesn't lie in the mouth of PDP to ever criticise APC on any policy issue.

You're a liar! Nobody queued up in petrol stations to buy petrol at ₦700. We are not fools.

Arrewa:
South east is the most backward region in Nigeria.

Stop deceiving yourself!

Elrufai is better than all the eastern governors combined!

Go and develop your region... South east is still 50yrs behind

The senseless boy even added a picture of Onicha-Ugbo and called it South East, all in a bid to disparage South East.
You're posting a picture of flood? Are you so dumb? Have you seen pictures of Akobi Crescent Surulere
after flood?

Until any northern state has a cut off of up to 100 in federal unity schools intake, don't ever quote me again.

Arrewa:
shut the hell up!!

Go and develop your region and stop commenting on Kaduna thread!

South east is currently the most backward region in Nigeria

Shut up! What do you know about development? Senseless guy who thinks development is about tarring of roads.

Your region is at least 20 years behind the South East in terms of human capital development and you're not ashamed to come and disgrace yourself here? Your region is facing an internal war from the bandits you created out of wickedness and ignorance yet you have the mouth to talk about development.
In the publication of cut off marks for federal unity schools (in 2019), Anambra had 139 for both males and females while Zamfara had 4 for males and 2 for females, yet you open your mouth to talk about development. Shameless boy!

For your information, Governor Umahi has far more projects than El-Rufai despite receiving much less allocation.

MainForeigner:
Could it be they're in different planet?. He greets her Good evenin @ 5:am. Good morning @ 7:pm.

He is possibly in the US or Canada. His time zone is at least 6 hours behind the girl's time. If the girl had knowledge of time zones, she could have deduced it.

MainForeigner:
The Time interval doesn't correspond with the greetings. So I think this is just attention seeking.

He is very likely in the Americas (North or South America). His time is about 6 hours or more behind the girl's (Nigeria's) time, so his greetings are appropriate with regards to his time Zone. Take out about 6hours from the time shown in his messages and see that his greetings were appropriate.

Arrewa:
shut up!!

Elrufai is better than all your eastern leaders put together!!

If your people can worship Orji uzo Kalu who looted Aba to stupor which made Abia the most backward state in Nigeria. Tell me why we won't celebrate elrufai one of the most hardworking governor in Nigeria?

These are Abians celebriting Orji uzo kalu's release calling him a great hero!

Shut up! You mustn't prove yourself to be senseless.

I didn't say you guys shouldn't celebrate El-Rufai, but don't come and be lying and saying nonsense in a bid to celebrate him. Kaduna is the 2nd most important city in Northern Nigeria after Kano. How could someone come out to say El-Rufai turned the same city from a hamlet to a modern city. Isn't that foolishness?

Talking about Orji Uzor Kalu, hope you remember he's a chieftain of your party APC? As a matter of fact, he is the Chief Whip of your party in the senate. Look at the sign post on the building behind where those people are celebrating and tell me what you can read there.

Boko Haram Nairalander!!!

israelmao:
I may not agree with El-Rufai on most things but I give it to him when it comes to turning hamlet into modern city.

Which hamlet? Kaduna that was the seat of power of Northern region even before independence. Kaduna has more federal institutions than any other state in Nigeria.
What really has El-Rufai done apart from these 2 or 3 newly tarred roads to warrant such commendation?

divicode:
Sure this must have been done by the developers from the yEeast republic.

Btw, how come they cannot develop Ebonyi, Afikpo, Aba, Abakaliki et al.

They have developed India with hard drugs

Go and see the thread from Ebonyi State posted few days ago. Umahi has done more in Ebonyi than these 2 roads El-Rufai tarred.

Campaign done and dusted for Obaseki. Well done Oshiomhole.

BTW, where is Modath? She been in ghost mode since Buhari shamed dem APC apologists. Same with Omenka, Passingshot, even the former resident ZoneB Sarrki.

Rozz:
He has said nothing but the truth,ignorance has taken over most of you,you are oblivious of the motives behind some of these things that happens around the world.

Have you had COVID-19 before?
Have you seen a patient with COVID?
Have you ever seen the chest x-ray or CT scan of a patient with COVID?
Have you been involved in managing patients with COVID?
Is there 5G currently in Nigeria and most African countries? Is there 5G in Iran?
How then are you and your pastor convinced that 5G is responsible for the pandemic?
Do you mind explaining the mechanism?
5G isn't yet popular all over the world but half a million people have died from what you claim to be caused by 5G. If indeed 5G is responsible, how come the leaders of the world are insisting on spreading the 5G instead of halting it? What then will happen in the world when 5G is everywhere?
You guys (including your pastor) talk and defend what you know absolutely nothing about.

Talking about BLM, yes it might have been hijacked in some places by politicians, but it has nothing to do with the so called microchip.

Most likely HOCM. Major cause of sudden cardiac death in athletic young people. His siblings will need Echo to ensure they are not at risk.
May his soul rest in peace, and may God comfort his family.

NEWBIN:
We have known each other for about six months now. I proposed to her in March 2020 and kept telling me she was thinking about it.

Just yesterday, she said yes to my proposal and I was so excited. When I met her yesterday evening, she told me Friday (June 26) is her birthday and that, she expects a lot of gifts and mobile money from me. My bowels became full instantly so left to go ease myself.

I have lost interest. Show me a way to outsmart this fraudster of a lady, thanks.

But wait first, you have known each other for about 6 months now. That means you met her in December and proposed to her in March. So you proposed to her within 3 months of getting to know her. Which time did you have to date her?
What if she accepted your proposal in March. Would it have changed her actual personality?
You met a girl you knew nothing about and went ahead to propose to her. Some of you guys are funny, honestly.

FeliciaOja:
If She Took Her 4 months to Accept your Proposal
Then it means, She had other men who she was interested in and messing with
After experimenting with other suitors for 4 months, she probably got dumped and now she is looking for you to wife her up

Op, dump her and never look back

She deliberately postponed her acceptance of the proposal till only 4 days to her birthday. After receiving the gifts on her birthday, she will dump him like a hot coal.

MrALIVE:
This Victor giadom is a true definition of a saboteur

We haven't forgotten how APC planted Ali Modu Sheriff to destroy PDP few years ago. It's payback time.

Simplyleo:
[s][/s]
When I saw that you booked space, I followed suit. Reason being that you will type your usual unappreciative gibberish and I need to make it known that not everyone has the same reasoning like you.

Many senators have come and gone even in the era of oil boom, none cared to fix that dungeon called church. They simply left their "constituency allocations" in their bank accounts and no one gave them a "resounding knock". If this man did not do it, you won't even know, not to talk of giving him a "resounding knock".

Besides, what exactly do you think constituency allocation is meant for? There are developmental projects that are rather awkward for the govt to embark on because they border on traditions not really captured by the constitution. Only sons of the soil will be concerned about them. Religion is one of those traditions.

Lastly, note environment plays a significant role in our activities and these activities include worshipping. With this new look of the church, residents of that community will now view going to church as a form of worship rather than punishment. Accordingly, they will stay a bit more longer in the church to worship properly.

On this note, I say thank you to Senator Victor Umeh.

Nice response.
One of the few times you make sense outside your usual APC hyping and Igbo bashing.

Judeerons32:
It was $179m in 2016 when Adams left after 8years in addition to Lucky and Osunbor.
Today it is $276m in 3yrs of Obaseki a leap of $97m. Even with I have refused to share money. These are facts.by Nigeria Debt Management Office.

Okay. Then he's a useless governor if that's the case. He doesn't truly deserve another term, though I don't want Oshiomhole and his gang to have their way.

Judeerons32:
Presently Edo is about the second most indebted state.only behind Lagos. And you will wonder what Obaseki has to show for it?

Was it Obaseki or Oshiomhole? How much has Obaseki borrowed?

Shoodboi:
Today (June 20, 2020), is the longest day of the year

Source: I wrote this myself with reference from https://www.almanac.com/content/first-day-summer-summer-solstice and https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/solar/2020-june-21

You tried, but a little correction is that summer solstice is the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere and the shortest day of the year in the southern hemisphere. The reverse will be the case on Winter Solstice on December 21st.
In terms of midnight sun, that happens for 6 months (from March 21st to September 23rd) in the North Pole. In the Arctic Circle, it will only happen on Summer Solstice.

nickxtra:
Borrowing is allowed as long as the fund was usd to provide infrastructure for the people. Even Lagos, Rivers, etc the richest states in Nigeria do borrow

It's better not to borrow than to borrow 50bn for example and utilize only 20bn. That's what Oshiomhole did. That's also how Aregbesola plunged Osun to a debt they would pay for decades.

Judeerons32:
Very apt. Apc members refrained from criticizing Obaseki for long because he was an Apc member allowing him to just spew unsubstantiated allegations against members of his party but now the truth will be spoken without colouration.
He has not mentioned one instance where Comrade forced a decision on him.
He claims to have refused to share Edo money with godfathers one would have expected infrastructural development to b twice as much from the savings. But the reverse is the case.
In 3yrs plus not a single school or hospital built. Roads are a sorry sight.
Comrade fought godfather by showing Edo what he built without godfather interference. Obaseki should show his score card.

Oshiomhole's government benefitted from the sharing of excess crude account and despite that, he still borrowed several billions of Naira to execute the few projects he did. He increased Edo State debt by more than threefold.

EVILFOREST:
I'm disappointed in the GUY.
Too many IGNORANT people around us.
He was just talking too many unnecessary things.
He just made a FOOL of himself.
How can a Civil Engineer be this FOOLISH..?
I hope that building won't collapse one day..
We are Finished oooo.
What has spirituality got to do with this....?
..... a snake that needs a WARM PLACE to progress in. Life.
Some have found snakes inside Air Conditioners.
Some have found snakes inside NEPA's Electronic Meters..
Even inside of SHOES..., behind Refrigerators in busy apartments.

I was so pissed with his babbling that I muted the video. Watched barely half of the long and unnecessary video. For all we know, that snake might have curled up there last night. There is nothing mysterious with that.

omoiyamayor:
the Europeans and Americans that stopped going ti school dont feel the necessity because they have people helping the country to develop but in Nigeria and Africa we need young people to go to school than worship centers because we are still underdeveloped, we need the young minds to depend on themselves than depending on God because is not coming to help the continent, we will help ourselves.

Oga, going to school and church are not mutually exclusive. That is the point I am making. I am a firm believer in God and the church, yet it didn't stop me from completing my education.
At the peak of British civilization, it was largely a Christian nation. Same can be said about many other Western European nations, even America.
Yes, we will help ourselves but we don't need to stop going to church to do that. Most people spend less than 2-4 hours in church every week out of 168 hours they have in a week. How come church takes the blame? What do they do with the remaining 164-166 hours?

omoiyamayor:
yes because and i think that because their plans are no more working out,most of their allies they are stealing from are now wising up, look at Venezuela, maduro is holding his ground and its affecting America, iran too,The JCPOA deal fell through even tho the European wanted the deal to hold because they need Iran resources but after it fell through provocations began,the started attacking themselves, before America will intimidate likes of iran and Venezuela to get what they want but things have changed, the only place they are still looking is Africa and thats because they distracted us with religion, instead of going to school we are going to church.most people dont even know how bad the Americans want what they are sleeping on every day.

Oga, my point to you is that no part of the world is perfect. People may have the good things of life in the West but doesn't necessarily mean they are happier than their African counterparts. There are rich people who suffer from depression and endless crises in their homes, while some poor people are living in peace and tranquility. Peaceful life is beyond the material things we can see.

What the governments of the US and European nations are doing don't summarise the lives of average citizens of those countries. Whether America is able to steal from Venezuela or not has little or nothing to do with the quality of lives of average Americans. There is no documented proof that Americans were happier 30 years ago than they are now.

"Instead of going to school, we are going to church..." What kind of rubbish talk is that? Did anybody tell you they couldn't go to school because they were going to church? Schools are open from Monday to Friday while churches are open on Sundays. Has anyone been denied of going to school because of church?
Today, there are many Europeans and Americans who no longer go to school (beyond secondary or high school). Many of them don't even go to universities anymore yet at the same time, they don't go to church. How come you're linking poor education with going to church?

omoiyamayor:
first of all south Africa is western, western country is not by continent, Australia is western,new Zealand is,japan and south South Korea is,when you say western,it means practice not location, and when i talk about heaven dont mean paradise but eternity, don't get it twisted, when someone die they say he goes to heaven, paradise or hell no one is sure,but the way pink people lives,they don't care about eternity, thats why even when they find out asteroids are coming towards earth,the dont go to fasting and prayers to enter paradise,they either look for a way to stop it or get busy finding another planet that can inhabit mankind.they are hiding something from us, there is this movie about end of the world the title is either 2010 or 2012,i watched it around 2009,i was afraid then maybe it was a wake up call,but one thing i noticed in the movie is that from the beginning to the end of the movie,the said nothing about going to heaven,china was building ship while Americas,europeans and middle east rich people were busy buying space on the ship,but nothing waa mentioned of Africa in the movie, this Nigerian -british actor in half of the yellow sun was on of the main actors, this guys are not telling us something.

Of course I understand the sense in which you said whites are living their heaven on earth. Heaven means a place of perfection, beauty, peace, everything good etc. The instances I gave you only showed that life is not perfect for majority of people in the western world. An average Brit or American will never agree that they are experiencing heaven on earth.

omoiyamayor:
i have been to lots of western nations bro, and live in SA, SA is very western brethen,the boers are not religion slaves,that why blacked in SA are liberated from religion, theres evenhave a governmental department that deals with traditional worshippers (sangomas) tell me what i dont know from where you are brethen.

Somebody who has lived in the Western World cannot make this statement

A white man is living his heaven on earth and tells blackman to wait to die before going to heaven. We are brainwashed.

Which kind of heaven on earth are they living in when loads of them are homeless, millions of them living with mental health disorders like depression, various anxiety disorders, many are lonely without anyone who loves and cares for them, loads of them abandoned in care homes etc. Is that what heaven looks like to you?
Western world only seems like heaven when people view it through the lens of Africa. For such whites who know only the life in the West, most of them dont think they are in heaven.

NB: South Africa is not part of the Western World. It is a freaking African country, just that they are more developed than Nigeria and other backward African countries.

omoiyamayor:
A white man is living his heaven on earth and tells blackman to wait to die before going to heaven. We are brainwashed.

I pray you have an opportunity to live in a western world someday, so that you'll understand the fallacy in this statement of yours.

See as Yorubas dominate.. Chai


Omo Yorubas are the best..


Greetings to my fellow wannabe yorubas: lzaa imhotep proeast .

They will call it yoruba organized award like their brother called AMVCA yoruba award... If only our brother from SE can appreciate yorubas, then they will achieve whatever we achieved but na lie, always hating us for no reason...

Watch them as they will call this award a Yoruba award



They are getting angry from imo state oooo.. If it was tekno, they wud have been shouting igbo afonja


Yoruba success always put them into deep thought.. They hate anytin successful about Yorubas but trust us, we soar higher.

Cc: gabkosh Sammy07 iamgrey5 emolokoiyawon Igbochief001 Ideke9000 anambralstson

You sure say you get sense so?

Igbo awardees on that list
1. Yul Edochie
2. Jim Iyke
3. Ebuka Obi-Uchendu
4. Ike and Mercy

Yoruba Awardees
1. Davido
2. WizKid
3. Tiwa Savage
4. Toke Makinwa
5. Funke Akindele

If you call Saraki a Yoruba man, then you'll call Tonto an Igbo woman.

My point now is, what's the essence of your useless write up?

Eulalia:
Please this an advice to all AS genotype peeps. Especially the girls.

Whenever a guy shows interest in you and wants to strike a relationship, please the first thing you should enquire is his genotype. YES! It won't make you come across as desperate but will save you a lot of brouhaha in the future in case you decide to take things to the next level. Ask ask ask. Phew!

Some might say its not necessary or its too early to do so but I tell you its not. because you do not know the day the love will crawl up on you and then you want to have this fellow for keeps only to discover very late and then to let go becomes an issue and then you have to contend with a force driving you into obvious danger. Our emotions cannot be controlled as you don't know how and when it will metamorphose into the next level hence the need to pop the question before our emotions betray us.

My advise to every AS carriers. Do not lose hope.
Don't throw caution to the wind cos it might back fire and you would wish you never did.
Don't see your genotype as a barrier or limitation. In fact, we are healthier than AA carriers according to studies as we hardly suffer malaria. I might not be able to explain the science behind that now but its true. Do your research. So no cause for alarm as with the compatible genotype, we can have healthy babies and be free from stories that touch.

This is just my two cents.

Shalom.

I'm AS and I've only dated AA ladies. The reason is because I ask about their genotype very early in the friendship, as soon as I start feeling an attraction for the lady (especially when I've already confirmed she is not in a relationship). This has saved me from having repeated heart breaks.

Confirmedzombie:
The social media comments led to obasike downfall. To set the records straight, obasike is not a politician, the stakeholders who are grassroots politicians in Edo state are not with him.

The people supporting obasike at the deal day (Election) will all be caged. No one will stake his life for obasike.

Elections in Nigeria is a do or die something. Without the help of security agencies, obasike and those supporting him cant operate.

As it stands, APC will deploy all Arsenal during the election to remain in power in Edo state.

No amount of money spent by obasike can return him as a governor. Anyone who loves obasike will simply advice him to take a bow and let go politics.

Elections are not won on social media. If you watch well, osho has been silent all through the fight with obasike , I guess action speaks louder than voice.

Did Amaechi who decamped from PDP to APC win Rivers state for peterside, Wike deployed all Arsernal using federal might to defeat Amaexhi.

To me, obasike lacks the political will to frustrate APC. People are just pushing the man to destruction.

APC wont fold her hands and allow obasike frustrate them. Politics is a dirty game.
My opinion though

Obaseki not Obasike. Ah ah!

Are you saying Amaechi would have lost if he contested for his 2nd term after decamping from PDP to APC?

You see, Edo is not a very strong APC state. PDP is still strong in Edo State, and that is why the state has 2 PDP senators. If Obaseki decamps, his supporters will join with PDP to frustrate APC at the polls. It will be s very tough battle, but APC could still be denied the victory.

RTSC:
Even if he doesn't even get pdp nomination, he should as governor ensure that the apc rigging machinery is utterly frustrated at the election.

Once pdp wins, oshiomhole is finished in edo state.

Exactly. He can strike a deal with PDP to make sure APC's rigging machinery is brought down or at least matched number for number, fire for fire.
