I hope this order also makes provisions for how schools are going to finance their needs

How is this social welfare program now SME loan?

Are you this ignorant or just an illiterate since you cannot tell the difference between a social welfare program and a social empowerment program such as this 5k and the SME program.

The SME program was not announced last week. It began in 2017. Stop with your ignorance.

You sent me a link on Women Entrepreneurs, this thread is about something different but I'm the ignorant one? Guy calm down and re-read both.

Butterflyleo:
This began since October 2017 and had nothing to do with the election season as it were.

Stop being ignorant

So you're telling me the SME loan they announced about a week ago started last year.....

Stop the lies! Not talking about the giving money to the poor

Omoikarekimire:
Why can't Jonathan or previous Govt do like that since it is a legal way of buying vote.APC dey try but u guys are hating.Ok.Kwantinu.Infrastructure instead of Sharing money among Dasuki's,Allinson,Dokpesi's etc Abeg wetin u want them to do again.wait APC will get there.Asese mosu won lo Sara bintin APC yo won sebi osu lo yo.U ain't seeing nothing yet.Won ma fi good Propanganda gbe ra won le kan si.Eyin ode fee dee fee iranu yi.

Why didn't they do it since, na during election season they're giving out "loan" that will remind people who to vote for? You forgot to add Tinubu, Amaechi, Okorocha, etc. Na today APC dey use propaganda? My brother wake up

Kindly tell us how much you have sent to any aged person(s) in your village since the beginning of this year?

So your prayer for the aged people in your village is that people send them money from the city? Wow I see how innovative you are and how much you wish them well. If this is what you want for your people, that's on you.

I want good governance, security, progressive economy, old people who are taken care of not given stupid loans to make them vote a party and then have them return the money after elections.

Butterflyleo:
Here are some Beneficiaries of the PMB social investment program in Oyo state receiving their own 5,000 conditional cash transfer.

No government has ever embarked on social security programs in Nigeria.

PMB leads others follow.

Legal way of buying votes just before election. Smart

I'm a young girl in Calabar. Everybody getting married these days mostly marry guys from outside the country. biko where do they meet them?

Go to the abroad section in NL.... Go through their posts (you'll know them from their posts) and shoot your shot

BRMN:
No u misunderstood the context, it could never have been a large amount, it's a small amount, a small number, a small group.

Ok let's break down the statement.

"At least, it's a small amount." what does that mean? At least means minimum; it's a small amount is already clear. Putting both together, minimum it can be is a small amount.... Do you now agree?

BRMN:
"Some", from Google search:

Determiner:
1. an unspecified amount or number of.
2. used to refer to someone or something that is unknown or unspecified.
3. (used with a number) approximately.
4. (pronounced stressing ‘some’) a considerable amount or number of.
5. (pronounced stressing ‘some’) at least a small amount or number of.
6. (pronounced stressing ‘some’) expressing admiration of something notable.

pronoun
1. an unspecified number or amount of people or things.
2. (pronounced stressing ‘some’) at least a small amount or number of people or things.



Take note of number 5 above under Determiner. Also take note of number 2 above under pronoun.

That's the actual meaning referred to. At least a small amount of something. A small number of people. It can never be a great part of them, but a small part of them. That's a minority, not majority. So it's a minority or small group of women who do this. Are u still willing to argue this? Bring it on here, I will challenge u to it. I will show u why u're wrong on this! Waiting for u if u're still willing to discuss this!

Take a closer look at number 5 as you said; at the very least it's a small amount. Meaning it could be a large amount but the least it will be is a small amount... That means it can possibly be a large amount.... So you see, I win

BRMN:
Some can mean anything from all minus one? No, wrong. All minus one will mean 100-1, will be 99. And that's 99%. Can 99% be minority? No 99% is absolutely a majority. Absolute majority. And this can't be some, but definitely a majority. So u see that ur argument is wrong? Doesn't hold & can't hold water. QED

A little google (or any other search app) search will show that some means 1-99.... Only thing that is not in some is all, none and one.... So I know you think you're right but sorry you're not.... Some has nothing to do with majority vs minority

I am a very gregarious or rather should i say a social individual,i keep alot of company but my actual real friends circle is pretty small,i actually never bought this male bestie of a thing from the onset because i felt it was thrash and irrelevant to me, i was satisfied with my girlfriends around,but during my 100 level in the university there was this particular guy i met then i was still a fresher i never knew much about the school he helped me alot with my clearance,getting a place to stay,showing me around school with alot of stuffs too numerous to mention here.

As time goes on suprisingly we started getting very close much more closer than i ever expected he was very nice and caring to me,sometimes he acts like my dad he is the only male friend i have who dares scold me in my wrong doings as time goes on before i could even realize it he was the closest to me among all my friends he was always there for me when i needed someone even when i dont he was there. We became so close i started confiding in him alot,i even told him stuffs i cant tell my mum we got so close he knows almost everything about me,everyone av dated,whom am dating,my breakups,my sex life,my kind of guy,my attitude towards dating,how i reason, even before saying something he has an idea of what am about to say,this guy knows my girlcode to the freaking core there is hardly anything i can hide from him,he has being of great assistance to me always forcing me to read my books and forget social medias,the truth is that he is the major reason for my drastic improvement academically, i was always at the receiving end,there is hardly anything i do for him yet he stayed i realized i needed him more than he needed me.


it all started few days ago as usual we just left from an eatery store heading back home he decided to drop by my place to charge his pc which he was using for his finals project work since there area had light issues,fast forward to when we got home there it goes we were talking as usual then all of a sudden he started saying stuffs how he feels about me all this while but only kept it to himself after hearing him speak for almost 3hours i was totally confused i didnt say anything i just starred at him the whole time till he finished ,noticing my silience he then asked me what i had to say about what i just heared,i had no idea on what to say i was totally confused i have never seen him this serious my entire life,in an attempt to escape the moment and look on his face i told him to give me sometime to dissolve all what i have heard after which he left.

Now am put in one of the most difficult situations i have ever being he is a very nice person,one of the nicest guys i have met yet he treats me better than anyone else, he treats me better than anyone am dating words can hardly explain i like him alot but i dont think i love or have any feelings or so for him this a guy who waited almost 4yrs to ask me out,a guy who knows me better than all my friends,i feel this guy knows too much and am scared he might use that against me one way or the other after all he has done for me i feel i owe him more, i cant look him in the eyes and tell him that i dont love him,i dont want to hurt his feelings and i dont want to loose him either cux he is my bestfriend i dont want to look like the bad person in front of everyone else but pleasing him here means displeasing myself i dont know what to do anymore cux i dont want to hurt anyones feeling, have being avoiding his calls and text cux i dont know what to say please i need a sincere and modest advice here what can i do in this situation i dont want anyones feelings getting hurt.

My blunt advise is to date him because that's someone you trust... You have dated other guys that you didn't trust this much and all failed (I assume you're now meaning you only have exes) but dating this guy has to come with condition that he doesn't use your old words against you.

But logically since you say you don't love him then don't date him because no relationship should be forced or done out of pity...

This kinda relationships end up being the best but the guy might be a great actor who has acted for 4 years waiting for you to say yes and then the savage him comes out...

But either way, the relationship between both of you has changed; either you say yes and it evolves or you say no and it ends

OEPHIUS:
.

The Inspector General of Police Ibrahim Idris has released a report from findings on the disgraceful event that occurred at the National Assembly facilities on Tuesday the 7th of August where operatives of the Department of State Security Services barricaded the entrance of the complex barring lawmakers from entering.

In what has been described as a legislative coup by political analysts, the barricade was another failed ploy to change the National Assembly leadership. The Director of the DSS Lawal Daura was subsequently sacked later that day by acting President Yemi Osinbajo and an investigation was launched to uncover the motives and the actors behind the disgraceful attack on the democratic institution.

The IGP’s report confirms the wide suspicion that the Former DSS Director was playing a role orchestrated by “...highly placed politicians to achieve selfish political goals hence his unilateral and unlawful decision to invade the National Assembly Complex...

The report further claims that the sacked DG of DSS was still undergoing interrogation under house arrest in a private property at Garki, Abuja.

Who reviewed document before it was sent out?

BRMN:
No agreement on this. Some doesn't mean majority, neither does it mean half. Some means few of something. It means far less than half of something. So u get it??

Some by definition means an unspecified amount of things, at least a small amount which might just be greater than small... So by definition it can mean anything from 2 to all minus 1... So my dear, we are both correct.... Why can't you just share victory with me

BRMN:
No, I disagree

Then we have to agree to disagree

BRMN:
No, few, not majority

Let's come to a compromise, half

BRMN:
Some, not all

Ma binu, some (aka majority)

resurgent2019:
I am asking this question with a heavy heart because a friend of mine told me his F1 visa application—as well as that of all intending students to the US—was denied this morning. He answered all the questions of the visa officer perfectly but he was still denied. He was aked if he is married and had kids, and he answered in the negative. Could his being single be a factor in the denial of his application? Or is there something else prompting the US embassy to deny Nigerians visas? I am really perplexed because my friend expended a lot of money to apply and gain admission to a US school. If the US doesnt want Nigerians to come to their country anymore, they can as well a formal and well publicized directive to that effect. The practice of swindling Nigerians of exorbitant visas fees must be deprecated and discouraged by the Nigerian Government.

According to my friend, all intending students for masters degree to the US were denied their visas this morning. Not even one was issued a visa. This is the height of visa discrimination and something must be done to remedy the situation. Nigerians cannot continue to waste their hard earned money to apply for visa that has already been denied by fiat of the authorities at the State Department(Foggy Bottom). We need clarity and honesty on this visa issue from US authorities. Enough is Enough.

Mods, do the needful, please.

According to this thread https://www.nairaland.com/4225931/general-u.s.a-student-visa-enquiries-part/488 people are getting visas so your analysis is wrong, can your friend share his exact interview experience because what he feels is right might not have been the right answers.... Plus what exams did he do, how many schools did he apply to? His whole portfolio is what matters not by how he felt he did with question answering

bro if you are in Ibadan I would beg that you come to Camp (along Ido/Eruwa Road) and see the bobolicious bobo all the Sai Barbarians are drinking

No I'm not in IB but do you mean it's not even close to ready? Wahala dey!!!

Before people start praising this announcement, I hope this is not a rushed thing because of elections next year. Let it not flop like the refineries PMB rushed to use.

Why do they ask for religion and occupation in the form? Why does that matter while giving a statement?

Sorry, though my username is not my real name, but what can a lady do if she mistakenly sleeps with someone when she goes to give the person her wedding card. Let's say when she goes to give a wedding card to her ex & the ex rushes her for the last time & sleeps with her, & when she is done, she avoids the ex forever. Should she confess to fiance or just repent to do it no more?

Just asking a general question.

Why was she going to give her ex her wedding invitation?

The Nigeria Customs Command in Lagos have impounded an Iveco truck carrying 498 cartons of Codeine Cough Syrup of 100 milligrams worth N199.2 million. .

The consignment, which was manufactured in the United Kingdom and had 200 bottles in each carton, was intercepted along the Ijebu Ode-Ore road last week.

According to the controller, Federal Operations Unit, Zone A, Lagos, Mohammed Uba, two suspects had been arrested and detained in a Customs cell in connection to the seizure.

So each cartoon is worth N400,000.00, wow!!!!

butterflylion:
It cannot go in any other way especially since the venue for the sharing was the old government house here in Ekiti.

Does APC have access to that place while PDP is the current ruling party?

I'm not in Ekiti so I can't tell; I assume it's deserted since there's a new one. We can draw plenty conclusions from this video but I believe the journalist should sneak in there or go there, collect money and come and tell us who they told her to vote for. Because some people say it's APC video, some say PDP.... I hope those are not the only 2 parties contesting

[quote author=butterflylion post=69354652][/quote]Your analysis can be played both ways, the second person might have coded who gave out the money while the other person blabbed out PDP because she noticed the camera and too many questions....

But we all know the truth that both parties will give out money.

Confiman:
Please this might be a little lengthy but bear with me, everything here is needed to get the story out and ask my questions. Thank you.

This will go down as one of the most embarrassing moments of my life and I'm deeply confused. But before I go on, I'd love a quick intro.

I just created this moniker to chronicle all of my confusions and to feel free asking for help without any of my friends here tracing them to me. I'm 22 and a serving Corp member. I'm a hustler and I can say I'm doing fairly well for a Corp member.

I am still a "virgin" iff that term can be loosely applied to someone who masturbates. I'm deeply disturbed by my masturbation, but that is not the purpose of this thread.

I recently met a girl - also a Corp member - whom I'm really, really fond of. However, I strongly believe that sex is for marriage (I'm a devoted Christian) and so I have always stayed away from it. With this girl tho, we get frisky a lot. I shared my first kiss with her, and we've since gotten more intimate than I'm usually comfortable with. Sadly, that doesn't help my desire to stop masturbation as I always do that after making out with her. When doing so, I imagine all we had done and it gets me off.

However, this is where it gets embarrassing. When making out with her she sometimes gives me a head. Despite all of her efforts tho (and she is sincerely really good), I can't get myself to remain aroused. No, my hands don't give me half the sensations I get from her mouth, but it still doesn't matter as I just can't remain aroused enough to get off as is the case when I'm by myself.

Today was the very worst as I kept shrinking rather than edging towards release. It angers her cos she believes I don't want her, or how else does she explain it? She feels if I wanted her as much as she wanted me that it would be different. I know my conscience pricks me while we're at it but I don't know if that is the cause. She says I think too much about it... but I can't help the thoughts. Now I'm torn.

I need to know just two things:
1. Is it my 'plenty thinking' that's hindering me when with her? I've already put away most of my inhibitions to get that far with her, but I can't seem to go further. And I don't really think I want to.
2. How can I tell her to take away the sexual edge of the relationship without coming across as offensive, and without confirming her belief that I don't want her?

P.S: Before you begin bashing the lady, note that she is also a virgin. Her vagina is still very much sealed. I doubted that at first, but I've seen it and... So I know. I don't want to lose her but I don't want to go so far either...

One word, relax!!

Don't be too excited, critical or over-thinking.... Relax and imagine you're on the beach enjoying cool breeze

Controversial OAP and leader of the Free Nation, Daddy Freeze has reacted after a Nigerian author wrote a long piece on how Linda Ikeji is leading young girls to hell by getting pregnant without marriage after preaching celibacy to them.

According to him, she isn't really wrong. Read his post below...

"Who is this forlorn schmuck?
-
The only people leading Nigerians to hell are the GOs you dingleberries, NO ONE ELSE!
-
@officiallindaikeji isn’t really wrong.
-
According to Torah law, marriage is a two-step process. The first stage is called "kiddushin," and the second step is known as "nisu'in." Kiddushin is commonly translated as betrothal, it’s like the modern day ‘knocking on the door’ but actually renders the bride and groom full-fledged husband and wife. Betrothal is either through a contract, or through SEX!
-
However, the bride and groom are not permitted to live together as husband and wife until the second stage, the nisu'in, is completed.
-
Now, another instance is recorded in the Bible:
◄ Exodus 22:16 ►
NIV
"If a man seduces a virgin who is not pledged to be married and sleeps with her, he must pay the bride-price, and she shall be his wife.
-
Sex clearly came before marriage in this instance.
-
So if Linda is bethrothed to be married, or is going to marry the one who got her pregnant, she is assumed to be in line with the Jewish customs, Jesus NEVER CHANGED THE MARRIAGE TRADITIONS, neither did the disciples.
-
Now this does not make a case for sexual immorality outside marriage, it’s just for genuine couples who are betrothed, or a couple who eventually marry.
-
The Greek word for “fornication” is “porneia”, which means ‘harlotry’ NOT PREMARITAL SEX by an engaged couple. Harlotry is prostitution!
-
The GOs are the ones leading people to hell because they are teaching the law, tithing is the LAW, first fruit is the LAW, the law is sinful, it puts you under a curse(Gal3:10) and cuts you off from Christ!(Gal5:4)
-
◄ Matthew 23 ►
[13] “What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you shut the door of the Kingdom of Heaven in people’s faces. You won’t go in yourselves, and you don’t let others enter either.
-
◄ Galatians 2 ►
[17] But suppose we seek to be made right with God through faith in Christ and then we are found guilty because we have abandoned the law. Would that mean Christ has led us into sin? Absolutely not! [18] Rather, I am a sinner if I rebuild the old system of law I already tore down."

https://www.amagitesblog.com/2018/05/she-isnt-really-wrong-daddy-freeze-defends-linda-ikejis-pregnancy-with-biblical-backings.html

Please can someone explain how this (the bold statement) means you can get pregnant before marriage? All this means is if you dis-virgin a girl that is not betrothed to someone else, you must marry her....

Was Linda Ikeji a virgin when she conceived? This is my issue with Freeze, he remixes the Word of God and people will digest it and believe.... He should have just stayed in music and not ventured into religion

justtoodark:
are you igbo....??

I'm not, why will you think I'm? Is kpolli an igbo name? Or only Igbo people ask questions?

justtoodark:
does it realy matter.....??

their are many that use obansanjos name to say nonesense online.......

obansanjo cant be against buhari......they are both military people.......!!!!!!

you easterners just dont understand interests....

You easterners? Which Easterner are you referring to? Who is from the East? I asked a simple question that deserves a simple answer not you jumping to unnecessary conclusion

"...the Buhari I know relieves my hope for a true transformation Nigeria requires at this moment. Even, I prefer him to jail me than Jonathan to return to destroy this nation..."

- Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, on page 96 of his book: "MY WATCH"


So wailers, you hail Obasanjo and ignorantly accept that pages 41 to 43 of his books where he explained away the money spent on power, should be accepted as the truth. In the same light, this quote from page 96 of same book should hold true forever and ever.

Was this written before or after Buhari took over?

So that small bundle is all the recovered looted cash or where are the rest?
