It is so sad

Russia President, Vladimir Putin has declared that Africa is a cemetery for Africans and here are his reasons.

He said:

“When an African becomes rich, his bank accounts are in Switzerland. He travels to France for Medical treatment.He invests in Germany. He buys from Dubai. He consumes Chinese. He prays in Rome or Mecca. His children study in Europe. He travels to Canada, USA, Europe for tourism.If he die, he will be buried in his native country of Africa.Africa is just a cemetery for Africans. How could a cemetery be developed?”Putin Asks!

Oga, what's happening to Nasarawa npower? No 2017 beneficiary has been paid since August. Next level indeed!

npowerng:
Get your facts right.

1.How is it possible for you to go round Nassarawa state, all the LG’s

2.Did you go round asking each volunteers individually

With due respect cut the crap, go get your facts right nobody have received shishi here in Nasarawa.

Lol

Jasi7:
Bull crap....so now you guys are looking for people that will win free money abi...what about beneficiaries that haven't received a dime ever since 2017 batch B got enrollled? Nasarawa state beneficiaries haven't seen 1naira not to talk of 30k....why is Npower so unbelievable?

This is so sad my brother! 4 months now no shishi and they want to dash free money. There's this nonsense on profile after being enrolled that the state focal person is yet to send ppa lists which was a blatant lie because we went to meet the focal person at lafia, he said he has forwarded all the necessary things. Npower are not just sincere with Nasarawa. Bullshit!!!

Nasarawa beneficiaries are yet to receive any alert. Enrolled, but there 's this message on profile saying state focal person is yet to send the lists of ppa posting. Npower should mandate the focal person to send the lists ASAP.This is so sad!

npowerng:
We are working tirelessly to make this work, As you no most beneficiaries were not able to upload their deployment letter on time, Some beneficiaries are yet to upload theirs and some are just doing so, We can not cut off beneficiaries after the whole process, The N-power team wants the best for all it's beneficiaries.

The question is When are we gonna get paid ?? All these your unnecessary excuses don't count, just a delay tactics.

This is not fair, you said payment would be made 31st August.This is bullshit!!!

Professor of Christian theology in University of Ilorin, Pius Oyeniran Abioje, has dismissed the agelong Biblical claim that Jesus Christ died to save the world.
Speaking while delivering the 167th Inaugural Lecture of the university, entitled, ‘Christian Prophets and Other Prophets in Nigeria’, the professor said Jesus Christ was killed by haters of truth. Abioje, who noted that critical prophets should anticipate opposition and conspiracy from unexpected quarters, said: “The conspiracy that killed Jesus Christ came from the millieu of the chief priest and the political elite.
“Regrettably,the interpretations by many Christians is that God wanted Jesus to die so as to save the world. Yet the world continues to persecute innocent critical prophets. “Why cannot Christians emphasise that Jesus was killed by haters of truth,the religio-political powers that be,particularly since the world is still seeking redemption? “Nigerians should learn to see critical prophets as friends of the society,and pardon them whenever they happen to err,since no human being is infallible.”
The professor asked the people in positions of authority to learn to see critical prophets as partners in progress towards human edification,not as adversaries. The university don also admonished: “Divinatory/esoteric prophets should avoid fraudulence.” They should see their divinatory knowledge as divine endowment to be used altruistically and not for exploitation.
“People who consult esoteric prophets should be discerning and not gullible. “ They should avoid frequent recourse to divinatory prophecy to avoid mediumistic psychosis” Abioje also urged Nigerians to strive to become critical prophets to speak against evil on behalf of God and try to live holy lives.
He however advised: “Academic p rogrammes generally should include introduction to critical prophecy,which makes a person to be committed to advocacy in godly words and actions,even as medical doctors,engineers,architects,lawyers and so on and not only as clergy men and women, Virtues for which critical prophets strive is unarguably the key to individual and social progress,even when truth can be very bitter.”

Join me to appreciate God for His grace and rescue.They attacked me at about 2.30am this morning. They came into my room while I was sleeping. I heard their sound as they moved across the room towards me. As I got up... one of them came at me to attack, I had no choice but to defend myself. I quickly struck. The second one also jumped at me. I couldn't believe what was happening; everything was happening so fast. My brother heard the chaotic sound that was emerging from d room and was wondering what was happening. I eventually hit the second one too; my hands were stained with blood. They laid still and I wondered if they were still alive but when I looked at them on the floor, I found out that one was still moving. I struck again and this time I hit harder with anger. That was how I killed the two mosquitoes!!!

it is well

The choice Nigerians need to make in 2019 One politician strolled into the fourth republic with huge dose of democratic credentials. Alhaji Abubakar Atiku established himself as a democrat immediately he resigned from public service.
He became a disciple of late Gen. Shehu Musa Yar’Adua, the great political tactician that swept the country like a hurricane.
Members of this political machine included Chief Anthony Anenih, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Lamidi Adedibu, Dapo Sarumi, Yomi Edu and others.
Turaki Abubakar was at the verge of winning the governorship election of Adamawa State in 1991 before former military President Ibrahim Babangida banned him and other frontline candidates across the country.
Not deterred by the setback, he contested the presidential primary election of the Social Democratic Party and placed third out 30 contestants. Who is afraid of Atiku and why are they afraid of him? In understanding who and why they are afraid of Atiku, we need to analyse the politics of the fourth republic and properly situate his role(s) in proper context.
It is worthy to mention that he was a founding member of the Peoples’ Democratic Party and actually contributed N500m to the party. It is obvious that he had already conquered the business world before assuming office as Vice President. In modern Nigeria, I have not seen a politician more tenacious that the Turaki Adamawa in defending his beliefs and projecting same for the benefit of humanity. Anybody in doubt should take a trip to the hill top of Abeokuta and debrief former Olusegun Obasanjo.
He masked his intention on a third term agenda hinged on the need for policy continuity. He did not reckon with the tenacity of Atiku to rally positive forces of the political class to checkmate him. The political fallout on the Turaki was massive. Obasanjo unleashed the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) led by Nuhu Ribadu on him.
Lies were churned out and international conspiracy was activated to damage the skyrocketing political profile of the former Vice President. However, his doggedness and commitment to the creation of an ideal Nigerian society kept him going.
Today, he has emerged as the leading light in the remodelling of our nation. In moving Nigeria to political stability, tolerance and developmental Eldorado, what is needed is a thoroughbred politician imbued with economic foresight and ability to create jobs for the youth population. The youths have become despondent and feel left behind by the political and economic train.
A tested hand like Atiku is surely needed to coordinate the proper integration of the youths into the economic mainstream. He is the highest individual employer of labour in Nigeria and a believer in excellence. The truth that cannot be dismissed is that among those jostling to convince Nigerians for their votes in 2019, only the Turaki has experience in job creation.
This is the choice Nigerian must make in 2019 without sentiment and pandering to the propaganda of surrogates of past failures. The fragility of our mutual existence as a country cannot be over exaggerated. As a matter of fact, the erosion of our cultural, religious and social commonalities is an ever constant feature of the past two decades.
There is need to undertake enormous reintegration of all divergent groups into a united country. Nobody can do it better than Atiku. He is a proven man of immense conviction and political muscles to navigate us to the destination of unity. President Muhammadu Buhari came at a time he was needed to abridge our drift towards excessive insecurity and anarchy. Atiku is the man to build the country for the happiness and prosperity of all citizens of Nigeria.

Nobel prize-winning author Wole Soyinka said Thursday he has fulfilled his pledge to throw away his US residency green card and leave the country if Donald Trump won the presidential election.
Shortly before the vote, Soyinka had vowed to give up his permanent US residency over a Trump victory to protest against the Republican billionaire’s campaign promises to get tough on immigration.
“I have already done it, I have disengaged (from the United States). I have done what I said I would do,” the 82-year-old said on the sidelines of an education conference at the University of Johannesburg.
“I had a horror of what is to come with Trump… I threw away the (green) card, and I have relocated, and I’m back to where I have always been” — meaning his homeland Nigeria.
The prolific playwright, novelist and poet won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1986 and has been a regular teacher at US universities including Harvard, Cornell and Yale.
At the same time he said he would not discourage others from applying for a green card.
“It’s useful in many ways. I wouldn’t for one single moment discourage any Nigerians or anybody from acquiring a green card… but I have had enough of it,” he said.
Soyinka, one of Africa’s most famous writers and rights activists, was jailed in 1967 for 22 months during Nigeria’s civil war.
He was reported to have recently completed a term as scholar-in-residence at New York University’s Institute of African American Affairs.

Abusers can be hard to recognize since they don't advertise their destructive behavior. In fact, abusers are usually as smooth as butter. They do things that are sweet and loving. However, over the course of the relationship, these "loving" acts escalate into abusive behaviors.
Be aware: some of the items on this list really are loving. It's when these behaviors are taken to extremes and used as manipulation or control that they become abusive. It's important to evaluate the results of these actions. If these "loving" behaviors only benefit your partner and leave you feeling hurt, used and guilty, it is a sign that you need to get help immediately and get out of that relationship.
Taking care of you
Naturally, taking care of each other is one of the benefits of being in a relationship; meaning, "I want to take care of you" can easily look like love when it's really abuse. If one partner isn't allowing the other to work, get an education or save money, it is a sign of abuse. Abusers use phrases like, "I don't want you to work at a terrible job" or "we can't afford college right now" to blind you to the fact that they are controlling you. "Taking care of you" is a masquerade used to cut off a victim's access to education, work experience and income so that their partner doesn't have the resources to leave, making them dependent on the abuser.
Giving gifts
Sure, gifts can be a great way to show you love someone (in fact, it may even be your love language) but you need to be aware of how gifts are used. Is your partner giving you clothes to control what you wear? Are they paying your bills so that you're financially dependent on them? Are they giving you things when they apologize so you're more apt to look over their misdeed? Evaluate the reason why your partner gives gifts. If their intentions don't seem to be motivated by love, they probably aren't.
Saying, "I want what's best for us"
Obviously this phrase can be filled with love, but when it's paired with inappropriate behavior, it's a form of manipulation. If your partner tells you he wants what's best for your relationship, honestly consider if it's best for you. For example, if your partner is asking you to give him money, to stop talking to your family or to stop hanging out with your friends in the name of the greater good for your relationship, he might actually be attempting to manipulate and control you.
Being jealous
The media often depicts jealousy as cute; love is when people love each other so much that even an implication that their partner loves another rips their heart apart. However, it doesn't take long for small bits of jealousy to escalate to extremes. If your partner is frustrated when you talk to other men, reads your text messages or requests your social media passwords, his jealousy is abusive.
Acting as though they'd "die without you"
Manipulating someone with the threat of suicide is never acceptable. Abusers threaten to commit suicide to get their partners to do what they want (like be intimate with them or not leave them). In these situations, it's important to report the concerns that they will commit suicide to a professional. You should never feel obligated to stay in the relationship.
Doing things "because [they] love you"
If your partner is doing things you disagree with "for your own good" or "because [he] loves you" they are probably abusive. Love is never an excuse for abusive behavior. Love does not give someone else the right to decide what you can do, where you can go or who you can talk to. Love does not excuse inappropriate behavior because love is not an excuse.

okay

The Igbo race are being condescended today was as a result of some of its leaders who have been for a long time playing political shenanigan and lip service on the tribe claiming to be good representatives but they are wolves in sheep clothing.

"Our critics make us strong!
Our fears make us bold!
Our haters make us wise!
Our foes make us active!
Our obstacles make us passionate!
Our losses make us wealthy!
Our disappointments make us appointed!
Our unseen treasures give us a known peace!
Whatever is designed against us will work for us!"...Israelmore Ayivor
Since the end of the Nigeria/ Biafra civil war in 1970, the Igbo political mainstream activities have consistently and gradually diminished in the country.
In Nigeria, the Igbos were being seen as a race with distinctive and dogged minded people which implies, whatever is their set objective must surely be accomplished. Even some may describe them in local language as 'people with strong mind.' This connotation might be possibly viewed in a negative or in a positive perspective. Some said that they are people with commerce oriented ideas. Some said Igbo's are lovers of money. Others even describe them as a tribe that can kill because of money. Some accused them of narcissism and self-pride. However, this invective and baseless stereotypes were just to demean the Igbo race hence there was no statistics or evidence to prove this. These have equally made the tribe more vulnerable to attack whenever there is a national unrest or sectarian violence they become the target.
The mistrust and ethnic tension that has characterized the co-existence between the Igbo and the rest of the country could perhaps be traced back by the first so-called Igbo-led coup d'état on January 15, 1966, which saw the death of some northern political bigwigs. In retaliation, another revenge coup was hatched and carried out by some young northern military officers on July 29 the same year this followed the death of over 100,000 Igbo citizens living in the north. The then military Head of State Major General Johnson Thomas Umunnakwe Aguiyi- Ironsi and other army officers were also killed in the mutiny. Unfortunately, the height of the crisis was the breakout of the civil war between Nigerian government and the Igbos. The Igbo were led by Lt. Colonel Chukwuemeka Odemegu Ojukwu who declared the birth of new republic called 'Biafra.'
Ndigbo executed the war almost with bare hands. It was few countries like France, Israel, Portugal, Spain, Gabon etc that were able to help Biafra to procure some lighter arms and ammunitions and other relief materials. Despite that these supplies were in paucity but the resilience shown by the Igbos to engage the Nigerian troops in a battle for 30 months remains an enigma till present day.
Thereafter as the war ended the Igbos picked up their pieces and were able to reintegrate and re-engaged in the country both politically, economically and in other social lives. They were able to establish their businesses all around the country again. Precisely, the Igbos were highly marginalized in the administrative setting of governance; there was much restriction in federal post allocations to them. They were not allowed to occupy some certain positions especially in the judiciary and in defense. These positions were only meant for the Hausa, the Yoruba, and other minority groups.
The Igbos were much cognisance about the discrimination and their position in the country as not only those who lost the war, but those who virtually lost everything both in human and material wealth. However, more than 1 million defenceless men, women, and children of Igbo origin were got rid of by the government of Nigeria. The war was a pogrom, unfortunately, as a hard pill to swallow the Nigerian government was so intransigent to recognize this fact. Till present, none of the national school curriculum both in the tertiary and in the universities in the country that the Nigeria/Biafra civil war history is being thought. This was seen as a deliberate act by the government to obliterate the history of the war.
The Igbo race is not bad as they're being inveighed and labelled by some tribal critics but most sadly, the government of Nigeria failed to fully integrate them back as part of one big family of Nigerian nation after the civil war. This, however, was as a result of the scourge of tribal hatred, and ethnic dichotomy perpetrated and infused by past and present leaders just to ensure their own political and inordinate self-goals which have now spilled into generational odium.
The northern leaders and some of the southerners who helped perpetrate the evil genocide on the Igbos were the same people who don't like the issue of Biafra to be mention or discuss. They go about on national dailies bragging by telling the world that "as far as they are concerned Biafra is a dead issue." These men are morally bankrupted because they have no value for human life and history.
The issue of Biafra has been an impediment to the government because they were afraid to confront the ugly past that would have help shape the future of the nation. These are the modern day Hitlers who knew much about the criminalities that were involved in the war. More so they were scared not to be dragged to the Criminal Court of Justice at The Hague to face charges of war crime and crime against humanity. Many of these men are still living today; they are retired Heads of State, Ex Military-President, retired Service Chiefs, and retired Presidents. Some will even go on and say why they fought the Biafra was to keep the unity of country but all these were cheap lies and fallacies just to cover their criminalities and more so maintain their dominance over a particular tribe.
The Igbos have passed through a difficult time in history but were pertinacious to overcome all odds to survive as a nation. Unfortunately, some of the so-called leaders who took part in the genocide against the tribe are the ones that would be quick to judge and remind Ndigbo their painful past they've journeyed for almost past 50 years. They should always be reminded that the blood of over 1 million innocent Igbo men, women, and children slaughtered in the war are still crying for the avenger. The rancour of the war will continue to resonate in the minds of millions of Igbos. The story of the civil war will not fade. It will continue to be a well-documented story that will be handover to the generations of Igbos that are yet unborn. No individual or group can kill the Biafran history!
No country in the world downgrades its past history but Nigeria has been guilty of this. The American great revolution of 1776-1783 and the Civil War of 1861-1865 created a new chapter and also a central event in America's historical consciousness. The Civil war fought was able to resolve two fundamental questions left unsolved by the revolution whether United State was to be a dissolvable confederation of sovereign states or an indivisible nation with an independent national government. And more so whether the nation that was born of a declaration that all men were created with an equal right to liberty, would continue to exist as the largest slaveholding nation in the world. The United State was able to resolve these two fundamental issues and moved on to become the greatest country in the world.
The period of the 70s after the civil war was the best moment for the country to rewrite it past but depressingly, it was golden years of opportunities wasted for not forging new chapter as one nation with an indivisible entity. Instead what the post civil war era saw was the hegemony of northern political Czars and oligarchs as they were more intoxicated and was driven by endless power to feast on the buoyant economy. They deem it inconsequential to address the issue of marginalization so as to hold onto power. This inveterate power grip was extended to the country's commonwealth which was seen as patrimony. Invariably it created invidiousness in the mindset of other ethnic groups especially the Igbos who were cowed and treated as the vanquishers of the civil war. The result was the demand of equal right and equal opportunities for both interest groups and ethnic minorities. Unfortunately, their demands and expectations remain unattainable.
The Igbo race are being condescended today was as a result of some of its leaders who have been for a long time playing political shenanigan and lip service on the tribe claiming to be good representatives but they are wolves in sheep clothing. Both old and new breed Igbo politicians are being driven by greed, the governors, state legislators and the local government Chairmen have many at times rendered the state's coffers insolvent. This group of men are the enemies of Ndigbo who will one day face penal servitude.
Recently, one of the national dailies in its publication named a governor of a state in the southeast who ordered every taxable adult in the state to pay three thousand naira as development levy. These were jobless individuals who cannot fend for themselves due to the scourge of acute unemployment ravaging the State.
Then the question an irrational mind would ask is what happens to billions of state revenue and federal allocation funds being giving to the state? What happens to the state's coffer to be in such state of insolvent to the magnitude that jobless people are now being taxed?
In a country where the future of youth are being neglected, where education is not prioritized and where poverty is at its peak the development of such State is doomed. The Igbo leaders would have learned their lessons by now if not for any reason but to the fact that Igbos are been marginalized that alone, would have helped them to work harder and uplift the living standard of the people.
The leaders have failed to represent the interest of Igbo nation. Severally, when you talk to people from other tribes and complain about marginalization many will tell you that the Igbo leaders constitute about 65% problem of the Igbos. The lack of sincerity, transparency, and honesty which exist within the leaders are terrible. The underdevelopment of the south-east today was as a result of corrupt leaders who use the State treasury to run their private businesses. In a State where contracts are being assigned to companies owned by a State governor could be regarded as a mafia state. Unless the south-east governors change their mindset and attitudes towards public funds by judiciously spend the money for the purpose of the budget if not, the south-east states will continue to be perpetually underdeveloped.
Today, Lagos State is a mega city in the south- west; Abuja is also becoming a mega city in the north but south- east has none! It is time for Ndigbo to unite and fight for a common course. The Igbos that are leaving both within the country and in Diasporas should come back home and invest in developing the south-east zone. They have the capacity, the potentials, the resources, the intellects and the manpower that can transform the fortune of the zone to be among the best in the African continent. Many will say that the Igbo cannot survive outside the Nigeria context but I refute it that they will survive if they want to. Nothing is impossible to achieve! If the State of Israel can survive in 1948 with sub-arid desert lands which today were transformed into among the best agricultural producing nation. Equally, the Igbos can achieve the same feat if they set their mind to it. The Igbo people are not lazy neither are they cowards they've done it before they can do it again. God bless Ndigbo the Land of the Rising Sun!
