I expected to see - this was signed into law over the weekend. Am grossly disappointed to see this is all cheap talk

Observed when Iheanacho scores goal, he doesnt recognize his Assist. He takes all the glory to himself. My personal observation

domopps:
Tithe is a special platform that God has ordained or reserved for our Financial Fortune but it takes who God has open his/her inner eye to see and walk in the platform! God doesn't need tithe neither does the pst do but individuals that are paying it needs it to provokes God's blessings upon their lives........once your pst make them see the realm they are expected to walk with God the DRAMA earlier in your church was not needed!

Cheeeeeeers

I just hope you were kidding - emphasis on the bold phrases. How can tithing become a condition for God's blessings, fortune and prosperity?

Then these bible quotations are invalid and have no meaning to us;These are
some of the verses in the Bible that mentioned blessings, it never mentioned tithing as pre-condition or pre-requisite. I'll rather believe in giving than the adulterated tithin.

Jeremiah 17:7-8 “But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.”

Psalm 20:4 May He gives you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed.

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Philippians 4:19 And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.

Exodus 23:25 Worship the Lord your God, and his blessing will be on your food and water. I will take away sickness from among you.

Deuteronomy 30:16 For I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in obedience to him, and to keep his commands, decrees and laws; then you will live and increase, and the Lord your God will bless you in the land you are entering to possess.

Saraki CCB drama was not necessary. Nigerian politicians always hold on to power even when they know they are guilty. Saraki would have just resigned and saved himself of all these embarrasing hassles. By and large, he would still be removed = charges he would never exonerate himself of are pilling up against him daily.

[b]Unfortunately, the 'Fulani herdsmen' issue has been around since OBJs government as I remember. That was when the grading reserve bill reared its head.

The issue is that the Fulani's have been migrating further south due to the encroachment of the Sahara desert over the years. Their gradual southward migration has led to more interaction with farming tribes of the middle belt and southern Nigeria and with this comes violence as they struggle to grab more land for their cattle. Some don't even return to the north anymore.

The issue like many of Nigeria's issue is a complex one and needs both short and long term solutions. Just like corruption, Boko Haram, Niger Delta militancy, fuel scarcity, lack of electricity, unemployment, herdsmen attacks are all symptoms of a non functional country.

I await to see how the current government will address the issue on the long run because unleashing soldiers on the hersdsmen is a short term solution (same for Niger Delta militancy and Boko Haram). That won't be enough.

As for OP, he is just reacting emotionally to an issue that requires a lot of level headed thinking. Any political analyste worth his weight knows that supporting PDP or APC is not even the issue here. Buhari's reaction if you're following the developments now is even swifter than GEJ against Boko Haram calling them his brothers. More people were dying daily that period

Two wrongs cannot be mutually justified and no death from violence can ever be proven worthy so partisanship is not what we should be taking about.

We should be focused on how to get to a mlre feasile solution. I'm my head, don't see how the grazing reserve wil work unless the 19 northern states come.together and agree on how to manage the reserves with staes have the final eight to opt-in or out of the reserves.

Such optional reserves will force the Fulani to become less nomadic and more domesticated thereby increasing the likelihood that he will look into alternative means of growing feed for his cattle. That should should lead to better interactions with Farmers who can sell him hay or feedstock and to modernisation of cattle rearing practises.

Just like the oil spills in the ND, soil erosion in the SE, the desertification of the North is a disaster that needs to be tackled.

Others may have better ideas. Please bring them on. APC vs PDP is not the solution.
[/b]

Brilliant, Insightful and Thought-provoking. I wish to read more of your opinions on NL. Your piece is devoid of partisan and ethnic sentiments peculiar to most Nigerians. I love your articles because it also suggest solutions to the problem - current imbroglio between the cattle nomadic and the SE/Nigeria.

I was disappointed and embarrassed at what Fani Kayode wrote earlier on the issue. Instead of offering solutions, he opted for blame games. You sir reason better than our so-called elder statesmen who trades patriotism for party and self-interest.

Cheers

Persecuted or prosecuted - still the same thing when you are found wanting. The only different is the spelling

edoyad:
Thanks to our friends at Nigeria News Channel on BBM I was able to get this. It's the picture of NLC chairman in Abuja , same man who wants to occupy senate over their purchase of Land cruisers.
Or can we say because his own is an earlier model, that makes him immune from being a hypocrite in this matter ?

What are you talking about? As a business man, can't NLC chairman buys a land cruiser? Nigerians will not cease to amaze me. Even as a civil servant, doesn't he has moral right to invest in businesses for multi-streams of income? If he acquires the Jeep legitimately, your comparison does not make any sense unless proven otherwise

oduastates:
4th mainland bridge is a shortsighted waste of money as a result of lack of planning.

Why do we need another bridge to a tiny island,that will be under water, in less than 100 years.
Like the badly concieved mega city thingie,which has resulted in the spread of an urban ghetto sprawl,this money would have been better spent on reclaiming what has been lost.
Instead of a single business district , would it not have been better to have a series of business districts like the central business district.
Like one business district in Ketu, Surulere, Agege and Ojo respectively thereby reducing the need for a new bridge all the time.
That money would also be better spent building a subway system or urban railways system.

I agree with your submission. More business districts and infrastructural development on the mainland will make more sense. With the 4th Mainland bridge, there's bound to be backlash in the 'not so later future' due to complete attention to the already dearth infrastructure on Island, coupled with limited space and environmental peril.

I believe you sir. Your intentions for Nigeria are golden. Carry on

Change doesn't come over night. It's a gradual process. You have my support intoto.

The quickest change will come when we all change our attitudes as Nigerians.

4years is even too unrealistic for the desired change. Take your time, we are solidly behind you.

1. We can't just have a day off without receiving numerous calls from annoying set of toasters and so called friends.
Like seriously? Can't you guys just keep to yourself and don't bother us? You call morning, noon and night and all you keep saying is "how are you, how was your day, have you eaten, what are you doing at the moment, OK I will call you later" are you an FBI agent?

How did they get your mobile number? Off the shelf in stores or they pick it on the street? Most girls will not cease to amaze me. I had a female friend who felt she's so pretty, she would go on fb and distributes her numbers to all male contacts - all in her bid to sample guys who can pay her bills.
Her phones ring every minutes. Some of the callers she cusses and blacklist them. The fact is 99% of the guys got her phone number from her. It's damn too irritating and disappointing to get involve with some of these self acclaimed pretty girls

my younger sisters waec, what course can she study
commerce: c8
crk: d7
economics: f9
government: c5
lit.in english: e8
english: c6
maths: c5
biology: c5
shes planning to sit for another waec but am against it, she should just go and read the course that matches her result,if theres any let me know, otherwise no choice but to take the next waec form.

With the result, she can go for Political Science. Mass Comm requires a credit pass in Literature in English

If Leicester end up Epl champions (which is looking very likely now), i'll gladly eat my humble pie. They are not exceptionally talented team, they wouldn't keep you at the edge of your sit, but they know how to stay focused, and fight for every point of every game.
Tiri gbosa for them and Spurs, and of course for Chelsea who gave up their title without a fight

I believed in Leicester after watching their 1st 5 matches beginning the season. I love it when underdogs topple the A+ plus teams. Reason I enjoy EPL more than any other league. This season gives more money to betting companies as game where more difficult to predict - each game springs a surprise. No fan would have predicted that Chelsea would be at 10th position after 33 games. Quite an interesting season

Johnnoah1st:
bro. Let me just with dis, do u knw leceister next 3fixture?, everton, liverpool, man city, and u tink dey wont drop point? u tink dey can enter d second half of d season with dis form? let wait and see

Sir, would you still say Leicester City can not win EPL with its current form? With 4 matches to end the season and topping the league table with 8 points, what is your absolute take on the team?

write2obi:
leicester don't have the bench to push for a top four finish, i strongly believe they wouldn't be able to keep up.

Sir what is your take on Leicester City? With 4 games remaining to end EPL season, Leicester top the league table with 8 Points, would you still say they don't have the bench?

As long as I see no biblical backing,then it remains his own personal opinion just as I have mine.
Best he resigns though,since he and the bible don't seem to see eye to eye

SMH for your submission. Dear Madam, using your IPAD and phones in the church as Bible, is there any where in the Bible that approved of that? The world nowadays live by secular things that are not in the Bible? But for morality, we have come to accept most with modesty as way of life based on current world technological explosion.

If you feel all human endeavours should be found in the BIble, I bet you are already condemned to eternity. Grace that engenders faith justifies not flawed laws. My opinion though. Thank you

Anybody who stays in Lagos can identify the background of that Photograph as Maryland, Ikeja.

That's not Maryland. That's Mobolaji Bank Anthony Way - those riders are sandwiched between Ikeja Police College/Barrack and Unity Bus Stop - less than a 100 metres from Ikeja GRA Bridge.

I tell you, Nigerians make the situation look like it's the President's fault. Fuel marketers are holding the economy to ransom with their greed and excesses

irunoobo:
[size=13pt]Why dont you show us the entire pictures of the state he governed This is like snapping at Banana Island in Lagos and portray it as the way the entire Lagos metropolis looks. Akpabio remains the biggest fraud out of the SS after GEJ and MAMA PISS. He built and inflated irrelavant projects to loot the state dry. He is a failure in my opinion [/size]

Nne, I agree with you intoto. I visited that state and Rivers state early in the month to see things for myself after over 5years of my last visit. The much touted developmental strides in these two states are complete trumpery. These states garnered only media triumphant in terms of development, opportunity and progress. A minor section of Uyo and Ikot Ekpene experienced some level of infrastructural (roads & street lighting) upgrade and development. 90% of the area in Akwa Ibom is still untouched after 8years. Is that what we celebrate as development vis-a-vis resources in that state? Rivers state is even worse. People still think backward. Still dumping refuse on the express ways and middle of streets. Road managers take forever to evacuate them. The streets are already stark dark by 7pm. Things are in haphazard and eyesore.

The 90% untouched areas are they not part of the state? What do you call development when there are no commensurate opportunities and or empowerment to create opportunities? Don't we deserve more than bragged development? What a shame! What a shame we celebrate mediocrity!! What a country?

What the Bleep would trump change, tell me?

Politicians are known for promises, when they win they backslide. I don't fail for politicians. Trump is the real deal irrespective of how most biased Americans think.

#TeamTrump

Trump is the real deal for America. Even without his money, he earns my vote.

All these dudes/babes saying 'hell no' are not sure. Most of them will vote trump when the time comes.

Trump is not a politician but a leader. I like his honesty and sincerity. If he's given the chance, he will change America for good.

#TrumpIsTheMan

curses work,do not be deceived, I am a living example,

Curses don't work in relationships my dear. Absolute waste of energy. Who is hurting who for curses to work on one? I believe both relished the relationship while it lasted, while trying to discover and rediscover themselves.

What happened in your case is a mere coincidence.


Of course, it hurts us when someone we feel we loved with every breath in us walk out of our lives. Just give yourself time, you'll find out that it was the best decision for you to move on. There's no point dissipating your energy cussing.

Very handy when in Lagos traffic jam

Trump can never be the US president.
He's wasting his time and resources.

You have no idea about Americans. I bet most Americans love trump. His radical stance on certain issues endears him to many. He's always politically correct to many.

The heavy downpour this morning brought down a high tension wire by Guinness Nigeria Plc Headquarters at Ikeja area of Lagos. The incident caused a heavy traffic gridlock in the area as authorities sealed of the road to prevent further harm to motorists and road users -before the arrival of Power Holding Company of Nigeria, (PHCN) officials.

http://www.nationalhelm.com/2016/03/authorities-seal-of-road-in-ikeja-as.html

Who told you there was rain in Ikeja today? There was snarl-up on Oba Akran this Morning, YES. I spent almost an hour in about 10km distance on Oba Akran this morning, but there was no drop of rain in Ikeja.

You are welcome to Nigeria Ciara. Your "Goodies" album remains my favorite of your albums.

On a serious note: Darey should have told you that weather is extremely hot in Nigeria recently. Your cardigan is not needful for now. Wear light.

Finally credit alert came in at 1.15pm for the refund of N5000 back into my account.

Proof
OTHER TRANSACTION MC N/ATM/DISP/ERR/STAN-322010-10441841-092115-236291052

I would at this point thank the access bank contact Dunsi for his involvement in verifying my claims as well as seeing it through till my money was given back to me. He made several calls and had to work through the bureaucracy of the banking system to finally have access bank give me back my due. Also appreciation goes to Koolking and lordmayor4 for their valuable advice and support so far.

A few markers for access bank to take note of

1. When gtb contacted access bank for evidence of payment a staff sent over pictures of the transaction without any actual snapshot of me receiving money from the atm. This staff should be queried for ineffectiveness in verification or intent to defraud me.

2. I do not know how far the Ojoo branch manager could be held accountable but when a company is being informed of a possible flaw in its operations I believe a prudent administrator should be interested in protecting the image of the company he/she works except outright lackadaisical attitude is the order of the day there.

3. If I had not pursued my money thus far what would have been the end location so far? Access bank aa well all banks in general should look into monies that are in its system illegally.

I would be copying the agencies involved that this issue has finally been resolved.

To all followers of this thread so far it is a message that you can do anything if you try and keep at it. The nigeria of today is not the same as that of yesterday. Change has come to stay.

Thanks for reading and wishing you well - Teemy

Congratulations bro. I salute your doggedness to ensure your money is refunded. There are far too many embarrassing illegalities at the banks, perpetrate by everyday people like us.

We will never experience real change we are all yearning for until each and everyone of us changed our attitude.

Cheers and live well
