I have noticed lately, when educated and versed Christians pray casting out demons and binding the devil in Yoruba, they hardly say the name ESU these days.
they call him by his name as best understood: SATANI.

Spurious tales from the abyss.
official denial from NYSC hq:

"The story indicating that three corps members died after an explosion in the camp is not only untrue, but unfortunate. Media men should strive hard to make peace and not try to create problems," he said.

After surging away three hours of valuable time in my dainty architecture condo at Harvard, all in an attempt to synthesize the kernel of the author’s disputation, I have not only been left discombobulated and transfixed at the insolent nature of the article’s equivocation, but also mortified by the rather “spookish” and flagrant methodology the author chose to promulgate his message! My world is now in a state of tumultuous anarchy!

I go with MAPLE in all of these because names are important in Africa. Traditional names among the Hausas are never meant to be derogatory, they are celebratory.

Did they have to announce this? why not make a tactical advantage? the element of surprise is lost here.

but, where is the President? Someone asked this question a while ago.

How many homes are suffering from the this affliction called BB?

Governor Muhammad Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso made what some have described as history in a dramatic hand over of power from his foremost political foe, Ibrahim Shekarau.
It was the same Kwankwaso who, in 2003, handed over power to Shekarau after he stunned the bookmakers to emerge as the second governor of Kano State in this Fourth Republic.
That it was Shekarau who, last Sunday, had to hand over to Kwankwaso only goes further to confirm the vibrancy of Kano politics.
In this chat, the lion of Kano politics – as some would like to describe Kwankwaso -gives some insight into what to expect from his new administration.

Kwankwaso spoke tough.
He explains that the people of Kano may have been taken for one very long ride which has led them nowhere. He bemoans the fate of the state, especially regarding the huge debt profile.
According to Kwankwaso, “But this money in question is just for paying hotel bills, for somebody to go and stay in a hotel room. Some people are permanently there, enjoying themselves. And God knows during Sharia what was committed in the hotels. The worst side of it even is you leave your house and go to the hotel; a Kano man, you are in a hotel, what are you doing? And you say you are a Sharia man, you are honest; you are holy”.
Excerpts:

By AbdulSalam Muhammad, Kano

How would you describe the alleged last-minute execution of contracts and issuance of jobs by your predecessor?

That is the game they were involved in before I was sworn in. The moment they heard that the lion is here, everybody started putting his house in order. But ask them, I don’t know, I see them working on roads (at a rate that is) faster than any other time in the past eight years. I laugh and say this is part of the game. It shows that the Kano electorate have done the right thing. Find out when they gave out the contract, maybe two years or five years ago and nobody was talking about it and for the simple fact that Kwankwaso is coming in, they are panicking everywhere.

Anybody listening to you now would think you are just coming in as a fresher but these same people defeated you in 2003.

When we lost election in 2003, they immediately went and froze our accounts. That didn’t worry us, because if, out of 48 months they are blocking your account for just one month, it’s no problem. We didn’t panic. They didn’t see us running helter-skelter to complete any job.
They defeated you?

Their problem is that they overrated themselves because of the simple fact that they got it on a platter of gold in 2003, on a platter of diamond in 2007 and now that they could not get it, they’ve embarked on destruction. They never prepared for 2011 in the first place, whereas those of us who had one term were prepared to do it. Losing and winning election to us is like a joke.

But somebody must win and somebody must lose.

You are in politics to win or lose election, so, if at the end you get one of the two results, it should not be a shocker. If you get either of the two, just thank your God and move on, that is why we went and congratulated them after losing in 2003. We didn’t even go to court. But what do we have now? After their eight years, Shekarau wanted to hand over power to his associate; when that didn’t happen, he refused to recognise us.

He doesn’t want to congratulate us. Not one even as low as a messenger was sent from Government House to congratulate us and what do we hear: They will take it by all means. That they will stop May 29 from coming up.

It won’t happen. Now, how could that happen? It didn’t happen.

When you could not stop us from winning election and moreover when we have learnt from our mistake that removed us from power in 2003, you now say you will sack us from Government House.

What mistakes?

I think there are so many things; there are so many mistakes and so many problems on the ground presently.

But I assure you that we will handle this messy issue of governing Kano, because it has been messed up in the last eight years. And, I always say it, if these people are allowed to continue for the next six months, the disaster in the state would have been unquantifiable.

Somebody was alleging to me that there were some deductions that were supposed to go for pension. They (the money) left the deduction point, but they are yet to arrive anywhere. The money is said to be about N3 billion.

How do you intend to handle the liabilities allegedly left by the Shekarau administration?

We are confronted with problems that everybody hopes from May 29 we would begin to help them solve. But we need the support of everybody. People should endeavour to pay taxes and civil servants should try and be honest. We have to make sacrifices, we have to make contributions, we have to support Kano and make it a better place to live in.

I believe we will find a way out of this mess; a way I cannot yet tell you about now. But, somehow, we will sort out this mess.

We are going to do our best. Now, we are better experienced than we were 12 years ago and we have started working.

Recently, we held a meeting in Abuja with stakeholders and people from all walks of life, USAID, MDGs, organisations and ministries that are willing to support Kano State to solve its problems of water supply, problem of education, health, sanitation and you name it. So, people are willing to support us, but what they are saying is, at the end of the day, ‘whatever efforts we all put in, corruption comes into play’. I told them we are on the same page, but we can’t kill corruption, however, we will minimise it. And, that we will continue to do our best.

We will make sure that everybody is on his toes and, by the grace of God, these four years will bring some positive changes in Kano.

Do you have plans to probe the Shekarau administration?

You see, we are not probing anybody.

We have 23 committees on ground, working on agriculture, water resources, women affairs, youths and so on and so forth. We have to know where to start, all what the committees are doing is to find out if there are any liabilities on this government we are taking over from. And, they (the Shekarau government) are the people who are bringing these (the figures). It is not as if we are probing anybody, and I’m even surprised that some of these things were even reported in the papers.

That is not necessary. On the other hand, it is good. It is telling us that, in reality, this is the circumstance. The level of expectation in Kano now is so high such that they need to have this information. Because some of these things I cannot come and do them with my hands and my mouth, you need resources.

So, it is good for the public to know. With the amount of money this government got in the last eight years, the liability to pay now, including the N4bn hotel bills, is more than the entire grant, the entire revenue of Kano State.

After spending all the money they got, now they left this liability. I think it’s good for them to know.
Somebody was telling me, alleging that there is another $209m to pay.

$209m?

Can you imagine somebody borrowing money in dollars?

Yes, sometimes government can borrow money, but do what with it?

But this money in question is just for paying hotel bills, for somebody to go and stay in a hotel room. Some people are permanently there, enjoying themselves. And, God knows during Sharia what was committed in the hotels. The worst side of it even is you leave your house and go to the hotel; a Kano man, you are in a hotel, what are you doing?

And you say you are a Sharia man, you are honest; you are holy.

We have seen all tendencies of extremism.

We have seen all tendencies of creating new religion.

And tendencies of doing so many things.

All these monies I can tell you are in many pockets now. Big sums of money!

People with these monies can be very dangerous; they can be a security risk.

We have to watch them, to know what they will want to do. As a government, we have to watch all these because the intention is not good.

We were sincere while in government, which is not the case now where dashing people vehicles in Government House now is like giving a handkerchief.

For the four years I was governor, I had one jeep and three security vehicles. Only the jeep was brand new, while the other three are second hand. And, when I left Government House, I left them there. Another thing is, my estacode was only N15,000 and no security vote. Security vote anywhere is stealing. I don’t believe in it, I never applied it during my first tenure (1999-2003), and I don’t think I’m going to apply same now, in that the provisions aid corruption in the art of governance, I will like to lead by example and the moment you steal once, your subordinate will double your record.

How are you going to liberate defecting core ANPP members to the mainstream of your party?

My success is not for me alone and is beyond the faces of people that I know.

This success is for everybody in Kano State, including those who are visiting us and those who will visit us. Everybody is welcomed. I am not a governor of PDP; I’m a governor for the whole state.

In 1999, the first thing we did was to form a Community Reorientation Committee (CRC) in every local government area and we did so much work. We kept them busy, we gave them cheque to go and decide what to do at the local government area.

The elders here, we involved them too.

Our expectation was that the ANPP government would do the same; to come and join us, but they didn’t. They instead created enmity. The people who are senior citizens have cases in Kano, in Appeal Court Kaduna and at the Supreme Court.

What we had in the past eight years was that this enmity was promoted to the level that a reasonable person would not even imagine it. And, nobody can believe that I won election now. When I went for lesser Hajj in Saudi Arabia, I learnt that they had brought an oyinbo (a white man) to inspect the ballot papers, they had gone to court for missing logos on ballot papers and all sorts of nonsense. And, it is public funds they were using to fight us. So these are the problems, people who play it dirty, will get it dirty.

They did everything to make us dirty; but we are not dirty, we are clean.

You would have to explain that?

One year after I left, he (Shekarau) was even going on air asking where I was, to come to Kano and do any rally here. That time, it was so good and he was lucky I was not around; I was at the Ministry of Defence travelling all over the world, so I would just bite finger and wished I had time to go and teach him a lesson. And, I was so lucky in 2007 I had no assignment. Some politicians will see that as disadvantage. The art of success in life is to convert disadvantage into advantage.

So, when I became idle politically, I came back and we mobilised and we showed him who we are. Luck, yes, we have a version of luck, but we worked extremely hard. They were lucky in 2007 Obasanjo stopped me. But God’s time is the best. If we had contested in 2007, the situation would have been different from today, we wouldn’t have been as popular as we are because people then were yet to see him (Shekarau) in his true colours.

They still thought they were holy or religious people. Now, people have seen him in real terms, in the way people should and they have made a judgment. And, you see the difficulty, from my experience, is once people have gone to that extent, you will hardly recover. If you are a professional liar, you have a problem. That is why, in this state, if Kwankwaso says don’t do this, people know I’m serious, they will be very careful doing it.

That is why when I passed Kofar Na’isa and saw people erecting buildings, I said,’ nonsense’. I was surprised that, up till now, people don’t respect what we say. A suya spot (barbeque) is more than that Kofar Na’isa structure, because if I demolish that one (the suya spot) I will hardly sleep. Because the owner is a hard worker, he earns his living, he is not stealing. I respect that man. But I don’t respect the one just sitting and stealing money. And, you will see how it will go.

One thing I learnt in the military when I was the Minister of Defence is, attack is the best form of defence. Therefore, all those who are trying us now, who think we are jokers, let’s wait until later and see how it goes. If you are a civil servant, go and do your civil service; if you are an imam, go and do your imam work; if you are a pastor, pastor well; if you are a traditional ruler, go ahead, we support you. But don’t cross the line.

If you cross the line, especially you want to encroach into our 18, then you will know very well that we mean business.

so, where is the TOKUNBOH aspect of the car?
you should have aptly describe it as Naija used, simply. I wish you well in your sales.

where is the picture please?
which year is it?

I am interested too in the car.
Any input from dealers and experts on the car please?

I dont have a BERRYBLACK phone. Am i less than human?

This Enjoyo is spewing gibberish. Let her send down fire and brimstone on all drinkers, Nigerian Bottling Company will not close down.
PAstor Adeyemi is one preacher that i like.
He will take on this topic of alcohol without quoting a single verse from the Bible.
Does it means he does not know the Bible? Nay.
He will address the issue from empirical modern research angle. he will make you see the harm you stand to incur with substance abuse and cite relevant authorites.
You will not need the gospel of damnation to stop.

Did you all notice the GUlder promo follwoing this thread?

now IB you are talking.
The thing we should be talking about here; what do you drink? There are quite a number soft and safe drinks, but a few are not safe. and it is this unsafee ones that we must continually harp on.
Spirits are making dangerous incursion into our drinking lives in Nigeria and this is worrisome. For whatever reasons, Brandy, Whiskey, RUM and all those high-end drinks for the high and mighty are pure water now. REDLABEL is one. and i am particularly worried about that. pepole drink that stuff like Gulder. I used to single handedly do a bottle a day myself but had to stop when i read the warning signals correctly. and i am available to warn others.
but to say drinking regular stuff like STAr or GULDER is a passport to hellfire smacks of extremism, the kind we accuse OSMA BN LADN of.

Should i change my friends to embrace a charlatan like you?
Please, stop misrepresenting the gospel. Stop all these lies because you want to sell a sick book.
Alco has its problem, just like your car has its own. Educate about the proper use of alco and not spread falsehood.
One man beheads his family because he drank DON SIMON? lies and liars

if this ENYOJO is to be believed all my firends and I must have been dead, buried, exhumed and re-born to be alive today; and we have been on this stuff in excess of 25 years.
She is full of arrant rubbish!
I drink to my heart content when i want to and i`m healthy, down to my down-below. The truth is know what you drink, know your limits, stay alive to drink the nest day. There are no medals to be won for heavy drinking, no prize to be coveted. so, keep it within limits.
her husband cut and paste book is good for the dustbin only.

I wAs caught up in the melee. I just u-turned without bothering to find out what the gun shots were for; my experience wok Kano riots won't let me ask such stupid questions.
So, where is safety?

From my experience, it is not customs holding up your delivery; it is NDLEA.
i have had to endure such delays to get my phones delivered to me through FEDEX. I had to go there to negotiate a bail for my items.
It is a shameful thing when NDLEA begins to question you about duty on am imported item. thankfully, i am versed in clearing matters so i was able to deal with them effectively.

This si sad, very sad. What a myopic way to reason! It is reasoning like this that goes on when they make decisions that affect governance. No wonder we are where we are. him father.

Please, tell us the truth by the spirit of God:

Did Buhari win the Election?

Did Jonathan rig the election?

Are the deaths from the election not tracable to your utterances and that of your principal?

Is your silence while the killings were going on not a tacit approval of murder?

Tell us, the same truth you told us that Buhari will not win the election that he belonged to the old order, by the spirit of God in you.

Kenyy:

I believe she is overdue for Plastic Surgery and the earlier the safer.

Maybe, your mother is due for one, too.

I was in KAno when the Gideon saga occurred. The truth of the matter is, it was a Mai Ruwa (water vendor) that saw and reported the incidence.
The arabic inscription in question was a page off a lebanese magazine.

Gideon was, in summary, killed for nothing, by some reactionary good for nothing souls.

What his death did to Kano non-indigenes still stayed till date. It toughened them up. That senseless killing could have been anybody, anyone. So, for once, the Igbo traders fought back systematically. They showed that they could not be cowered for ever.

The incidence helped fortify Sabon Gari, till date, non-indigenes, xtians and muslims, all run to the safe walls of Sabon Gari in times of communual discord.

Thanks to Gideon Akaluka.

this silence is ominous! it is deafeningly loud.
To speak against murder is ungodly because prophesies had to be fulfilled. did his mouth not promise us a wild wild north should Buhari lose?
it is too late to talk now let him remain silent forever.

copied from somewhere

Good morning ,

Bill Gates organized an enormous session to recruit a new chairman for Microsoft Europe. Five thousand candidates assembled in a large room. One candidate is Ayodele, a Nigerian guy.

Bill Gates thanked all the candidates for coming and asked those who do not know Java program to leave. Two thousands candidates left the room. Ayodele says to himself, “I do not know Java but I have nothing to lose if I stay. I’ll give it a try.

Bill Gates asked the candidates who never had experience of managing more than 100 people to leave. Two thousand left the room. Aye says to himself “I never managed anybody but myself but I have nothing to lose if I stay. What can happen to me? So he stays, then Bill Gates asked the candidates who do not have management diploma to leave. Five hundred people left the room. Ayodele says to himself, “I left school at 15 but what have I to lose? So he stays in the room.

Lastly, Bill asked the candidates who do not speak Serb-Croatian to leave. 498 candidates left the room. Ayodele says to himself, “I do not speak Serb-Croatian but what do I have to lose? So he stays and finds himself with one other candidate. Everyone else has gone. Bill Gates joined them and said, “Apparently you are the only two candidates who speak Serb-Croatian, so I’d like to hear you have a conversation together in that language.


Calmly, Ayodele turns to the other candidate and says “Wahala dey o!”.


The other candidate answers “O ga na wa o!”


Bill Gates “ You are both hired”.


Don’t you just love Nigerians. Any day, anytime, anywhere, they never give up. So don’t give up, u will lose nothing by trying more.

In Nigeria, we have several nations states coming together to form the sovereign state called Nigeria. Nationallity is not limited to sovereignty alone as some NAtion State members may want tio give prominence to their ethnic nationality above their sovereign entity. Yoruba, Hausa, Igbon are NAtionalities within the entity called Nigeria just as the Kurds of Iran.

So, technically, the woman said the right words there but the truth be told, i doubt if she understood the full semantics of her statement.

9. We should have love for our fellow Nigerians irrespective of their NATIONALITY

So, what is amiss in that statement?
