Thank you all for your comments. I pray that God will this Sunday, extend the same blessing to those that are praying for it.

I want you to name him/her Tochukwu or Oluwatobi or Itoro Obong

Thanks, it is only the Otoro Part that I dont understand.

that your pikin fine pass you well-well! Congratulations sha.

That is good news, thank God the father fine small.

My Daddy cares for me; that's all I care.

I seriously need a business mentor, how I wish I can have one like Uncle Tony; not as in his status and level but his person as an entrepreneur.

I'm sorry but your good idea isn't enough, you need a lot of MONEY, loads and loads of it. A good crew (like mine ) to pull off your great idea, beautiful set, logistics and good post production don't come cheap. That's not the heavy lifting as Nigerian TV stations will then take you for all you've got
Don't think they wouldn't compare your show with the ones out there, your sponsors will be the first to. I'm sure you compared Got Talent (home and abroad) with Peak Talent Hunt. So make those shows your base mark
The GOOD news is that if your idea is unique and creative enough you'd be the one to sell the franchise to others and you would easily get a local sponsor and make money. So far no Nigerian Reality show has cut it - that's why they die. That's why its easier to buy franchise (proj fame, Got Talent, idols) or model it around a successful show (ultimate search). Please give it your best.

really? thats good news o congratulations plz kindly tell me how you went about it

Well, from the look of things Rochas is on his own. I can recall he never made consultations before going to the APC. he is going to find it difficult dragging others with him.

Owelle should not deceive himself. People are rallying around him and supporting him now because he is(comparatively) doing very well in Imo state. But if he decides to join Boko Haram and expect Ndi'gbo to follow him, he is seriously deceiving himself. Ndi'gbo will just see him off to the gate and dump him there.

No sane Igbo person will have anything to do with a "Boko Haram". I think what Igbos basically need as a people is not a change of party but a chance to be the "Oga @ the top".

Anyway, GEJ 2015.

Thanks 4 your comment. The reality show is now on and going on successfully and steadily. It is a regional Talent Hunt Reality show project. Auditions has started, with more than a thousand registrations.

I am from Ika North East LGA which falls under Delta North and truth be told, I'm yet to see any purposeful leader among this present breeds of greedy politicians from Delta North. So truth be told, regional politics won't help us in Delta.

So where are you seeing your so called "purposeful leaders". It is either you are not looking well or you need an optician.
The above post has said it all. Check with all the power brokers in the state, you will see the script. Okowa 2015. Haters should go and jump into Orogodo river.

All they ever think about is ban. Ban this, ban that. Ban okada, ban importation of rice etc. It never occurs to them that the things they are banning came into existence to meet a need. And as long as the need remains, these things will not go away even if you ban them. Think of creating alternatives and make the things you want to ban undesirable and they will just go away. Naija Govt people just think. Oops! Thinking is beyond their capabilities. Lets just Ban.

One thing I have seen in all our leaders is that they try to solve a problem without creating a solution. That will simply bring another type of problem.

Nigeria will not move if we dont start from somewhere.
I'm very sure the idea will work perfectly. There is a replacement for
it she said "government would favour the use of paper bags in their
place."

And what will be the price of each paper bag of water

They came in a taxi to a farm that used to belong to former president Obasanjo but has been sold out to a Chinese company.

Chinese farm or Obasanjo farm, which one.

In what it described as a reaction to public outcry against a breach of the constitution, the House of Representatives yesterday reversed its earlier decision to grant powers to President Goodluck Jonathan over funds of states and local governments under emergency rule. Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states are currently under emergency rule.

Somebody should clear this for us oo. Is it Emergency Rule or just State of Emergency. Last I heard, all the democratic government structures are still in place; from the Governors to even the LGA Chairmen. Let's get it straight.

am who says amaechi is not performing? Visit rivers state and see tins for urself ok...... Whatever u see now or hear beforehand, in rivers state, is d brainchild of GEJ and nyesom wike collabo... So unfortunate amaechi chooses to fight the wrong fight

The case of Amaechi is like that of King Uzziah in the Bible (2 Chronicles 26:4-16^*)

He forgot how he started, he forgot that he had no backing whatsoever at the national level of the party; no Oga at the top for him. He forgot how he fought against his own party and embarrassed the mighty OBJ. He became too bold and over confident, making challenging comments against the presidency. Worst of all, he started seeking affiliations with the wrong persons in a way that is against the interest of the generality of his own people.

Well this is politics, they know how to sort themselves out. May God help them.

If only top politicians in anioma can put self interest and greed aside, the governor will surely be produced from there, it has gone to both delta south and central, now is the time Fø̲̣̣я̅ delta north.

And everyone of them knows it. Both the ruling party, the opposition and all the "Oga a the top".

Only foolish nigerian wil support asari dokubo on dis.asari dokubo is recievin 9million naira monthly 4rm FG in d name of protectin pipelines so he is nt fightin for d masses but his pocket.

If with ONLY 9m/monthly the security of our pipelines is guaranteed then that is a very very little price to pay considering the wealth in the pipeline. How much is Nigeria spending on Boko Haram.

With his recent utterances and actions, this Guy ought to have been charged for treasonable Felony!

Dokubo is definitely not the best man for this kind of assertions but he is really following a precedence. We ALL remember what Buhari said during the 2011 general elections. That he will make the country ungovernable for GEJ if he buhari dd not win. And truly he has made good that threat with the current security situation in the country. Nigeria could have been grounded completely if the scale of Boko Haram activities were to be happening in the south-south.

What is good for the goose... If Buhari was not arrested, invited for questioning, let alone charged for treason then, why should Dokubo be questioned in anyway.

2015: Aboki shine my shoe...

There is something I do not get. How is Amaechi insulting the presidency in a democratic setting. Can someone shed light on this.

He was not directly insulting the presidency but he was seen as being too bold and over confident of himself. So the "Abuja Boys" need to show workings in order to prove their loyalty to "Oga at the top". I 'm sure that if you ask "oga at the top" he may not have any personal thing against Amaechi but the boys need to earn their choppings.

Politics; I tell you.

Amaechi new his hands were not clean and started tossing power with the president, he can do that in rivers state where he's so arrogant but not to GEJ. he should has focused more on fixing trans Amidi road, OKuru road, and more. think now he's like a wonded lion. This is impeachment then to jail.

This is exactly where his problems came from. He has very well succeeded in completely taking over the political structure in the state, including that of the so called opposition. He became arrogant and over confident especially as he is being seen in the eye of the public to be performing. But he forgot how he came to power; he forgot that he fought against his own party especially at the national level. He forgot that he does not have any pillar at the national level and started flexing muscle with the "All Mighty" Nigerian Presidency. He is one governor that boldly challenges the activities of the presidency whenever he has the opportunity. May God help him against the desperate force of GEJ.

Politics, I no follow

Just this April end, they deducted 5000 from our account without any notice or information. we have used that account for more than a year now and such has not happened before. When we called our account officer, he said that is the new monthly charge for account maintenance. He even advised that we should change our account type to a different one.

why don't you see it from the angle that most of our politicians are corrupt. with your mindset I don't think we can successfully fight corruption. Lets just say EFCC decides to prob Edo or Lagos state govt, people like you'll call it victimization.

Good point, but how far about Peter Odili, Orji Kalu, Nnamani and a host of other Governors etc that they are prosecuting. Amaechi is not innocent but so are ALL OF THEM including GEJ. We all know that this is PURE POLITICS not a fight against corruption. Afterall, the cases mentioned here against him were for years gone by. Na today?

I will ask my Oga at the top to ask some high level men of God why the chicken crossed the road. Main-while, the police said it has arrested several birds, ducks, pigeons etc over the incident and is asking everyone to remain calm and go about their lawful duties, assuring that investigation into why the chicken crossed the road is on-going. Also, the Senate has condemned the action of the chicken in crossing the road. When contacted, the spokesperson for the SSS did not respond to our call.

Please, if anyone has the response of SSS, CNN, BBC, Reuters; he/she should inform the house.

Doyin Okupe:

PDP denies that the chicken is crossing the road; there is not evidence to support the claim that the chicken was trying to cross the road. All questions about the chicken's journey across the road was engineered by the opposition to discredit the presidency. We need to remind the opposition that they will fail in their attempt to get the chicken across the road in 2015.
I wish to enjoin the public to ignore these lies being peddled about the chicken because the real real agenda is to throw salt into the ongoing efforts of President to eat this 1billion naira chicken which the first lady has made preparation to cook for dinner already

Reuben Abati:

This Chicken did not just start crossing the road; chickens have always tried to cross the road. I wonder why there is a lot of question suddenly about the chicken's journey. This administration did not create the chicken neither did we construct the road the chicken is trying to cross. Nigerians have a crisis of expectation if they think this administration can answer this age old question of why the chicken crossed the road.

For people who want to grab power, people who want President out of office and who want the PDP out of office, you can never expect an objective comment from them. It is quite possible that it was the road that was trying to move under a stationery chicken

It will take time and effort to correct this inherent need of the chicken to cross the road and the presidency is doing all it can to address the issue. As a show of his commitment in answering this question, the presidency has set up a 10 man committee and given them 10 days to investigate and come back with their finding. Pls note that the presidency has also instructed that no chicken must be eaten during the sittings of this co

Thank you my dear, please, do you or anyone know how we can reach Lai Mohammed to answer why the chicken crossed the road.

Pls somebody should ask Lai Mohammed, Okupe and Abati why the chicken crossed the road. I think they can explain better.

ok naaa

Seriously Water don pass garri...

Let me have prices of New and Used Laptops. kinharold2@yahoo.com

inaugurates

Did you mean commisions. Anyway great job, Mr Gov.

The Dantata's have been rich long before this oil block MRS thing....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alhassan_Dantata

These guys dont need the money frm MRS for this kinda of life..

After reading about Alhassan_Dantata @ the link above, I wonder why he is not honoured as a "National Hero". His life story, I believe will inspire manys Nigerians especially youths like it just dd to me. Alhassan_Dantata "Built" his wealth with his bare hands, not the "thiefing" rogues we hav and celebrate around.
I dnt understand us here in Naija sometimes. Somebody picks up arms and overthrow an existing govrenment especialy an elected government, he is a national hero. Someboby steals sorry emblezzles the peoples wealth, he is celebrated. It is well

After such a nonsensical distraction, can we get back to the topic pls.

Didn't the guy resign because he was involved in some malpractices? - and is he the only qualified person for a ministerial post in a country of more than 150 million people? So much for Nigerian intelligentsia and academics smh...

You lot deserve the type of leaders you get... Perhaps, the assertion about the IQ of 69 has an element of truth to it...

I think you really need to check your facts again. ...the guy did not resign cos of ANY malpractice. Check again.

Also, your idea of "is he the only qualified person for a ministerial post in a country of more than 150 million people? is the reason we are still in this shit hole as a country. A situation where we put round pegs in square holes. just anybody is given ministerial appointment base on politics and not according to their competence.

Pls do a check again on the technical competence of Prof Nnaji and i am sure like every sincere Nigerian, you too will want him back fast, fast

We dont need a christian or a musilim we dont need ijaw or youruba or housa or kanuri or ibibio we need a GOOD COMPETENT RELLAIBLE LEADER and nothing more! someone that would have the balls to tackle corruption someone that would make us get things right

My dear what you said is how things are supposed to be, but unfortunately, Nigeria is so grossly complicated that you CAN NEVER remove these factors from it's politics and leadership. May God help us.

Am already working on a new and different name/concept for the show. Thanks for ur tip, I dont want anyone to compare me with their own standard. It will be my first and am ready to do it to the best quality, no matter how small. The more we do it, the better it will become year after year.

Instead of all this faffing about, why not approve a decent oil derivation % for oil producing states (say like 50%), and empower NDDC better to concentrate on world-class projects that benefit the entire region, rather than the present situation where they get involved in local gov't level projects like clinics, boreholes, classroom blocks, hostels, etc;

My dear, I dont know if live anywhere in the Niger Delta. This is exactly what we see here everywhere. Almighty NDDC and co engaging in construction of convent, drainage for lanes borehole etc instead of capital intensive projects that can befit the region in the long run.
