Fabulocity: Oshey! Time keeper of God's blessings! I sight you. Keep on determining on God's behalf when the blessings would start and end. Special adviser on the timing of blessings. You're doing a great job!
Can I ask this dude to tell me when exactly God blesses his people. The last time I checked God looks at our inner mind while men looks at the outward things. Hypocrites in churches nowadays.
It's a good move executed in the most archaic way. The police shouldn't have gone there with a gun. What I expected was a neat police officer that speaks good English and tried to correct the kids not threatening those innocent kids but warning them. Anyway it's is never possible here in Nigeria for now. Maybe 2095. The head off school should also be put in that van.
kITATITA: You no think say na Fayose dey sick? The man went to ask for assistance. Federal Government agrees to lend assistance provided that Ekiti agrees to certain conditions. Mr. Fayose is not keeping to the terms of the agreement but shouting on top of his voice as FG is if owing him.
How can fayose be the sick when everyone here on this forum seems to sleep and faces the same direction even without deep thought. The same mistakes the federal government is making that is holding the states down. Always give money, money and money. Share share share syndrome.
maternal: I thought pidgin-babe was bad. My guy you take the cake. When is your comedy series coming out ?
I insist in as much it's good to be patriotic kindly try to live a better civilized life in this very single o r you came before you return to baba God. Where complaints of bad leadership will not be an excuse. Let people go out there and get the resources to live above poverty line in Nigeria.
Timhortons: All your suggestions/contributions are good, but like i said previously ''life is choice driven'' . People migrate for different reasons ranging from social amenities,health care,security,Jobs etc. If I migrate today to any country, I guess I have my reasons and owe nobody any explanation.
About the topic, It depends on the visa that the OP is travelling with and again his intentions.If you are travelling to Canada to be richer than Dangote or Adenuga, please stay back and enjoy your 400k job but if you are travelling to WORK HARD and enjoy the basic amenities of life and probably create a better future for your kids then travelling abroad can definitely help you achieve this.
Lastly, if you are SUFFERING in naija and see a legit way of travelling abroad plssss dont look back abeg,the light @ the end of the tunnel in naija is off and no hope of rekindling it. I will glady look my kids in the face and tell them I brought you here to give you a better life, I am not into competition with anybody.I work in naija for 8 years and my supervisors were like gods who determine your joy and sadness but guess what, nobody gives a flying Bleep about you here,come do your work very well and go home ,though there is subtle racism but who cares.
After graduation , my wife spent 3 years looking for a job in naija all to no avail and she came here and studied health care aid, she got a job after a month (though part time) but she can buy things for herself and send little money back home.
If you like naija stay there, and if you like abroad then migrate but dont come with the mindset that you will buy private jet from hustling here.
I love sincere talks like this. Most people complain about corruption and yet the easiest way to be a millionaire here in Nigeria is through corrupt practices. By evading taxes, not paying workers salaries while you fly aimlessly round the globe, by making sure one trades with proceed of corruption. 419,online frauds etc. However those who go into the legit ones are frustrated out with issues such as government policies, unhealthy business rivalry by black cooperations, lack of start up capital, environment and host of business suffocation strategies. My God help us in this country. If you have the opportunity to move abroad legitimately kindly pack your bag. This is not because of you but because of your children and their future.
aminulive: Churches to hold similar prayers Sunday
Pray for president, Atiku urges Nigerians
PDP: Don’t lie to Nigerians on Buhari’s health
Bid to rally support for ‘ailing’ President Muhammadu Buhari received a major boost yesterday as Imams in about 350 Jumma’at mosques in Maiduguri, Jere, Biu and other parts of Borno State led thousands of worshipers to offer special prayers for the speedy and full recovery of the President.
It was gathered that the plan to offer the special prayers was at the request of Governor Kashim Shettima in appreciation of President Buhari’s commitment to the fight against the Boko Haram insurgency which had resulted in the liberation of many communities and relative peace being enjoyed by residents across the state.
The prayers occurred on a day former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar also called on Nigerians of all faiths to lift up President Buhari in prayers.
There are 542 Jumma’at mosques in the state but about 350 were estimated to be operating due to present state of populated towns like Bama and many others were Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) are yet to return to liberated communities.
The prayers were based on a request conveyed by the Chief Imam, Imam Laisu Ibrahim Ahmed, who communicated with all Imams of functional Jumma’at mosques through their different forums which is a long standing procedure of communication between the Chief Imam and Imams of Jumma’at mosques and other Imams in the state.
The Chief Imam mobilised fellow Imams based on letters addressed to him and the state chairman of the Christians Association of Nigeria (CAN), Bishop William Naga, on the orders of Shettima.
Speaking on the development, the state’s Commissioner for Religious Affairs, Mustapha Fannarambe, who signed the two letters titled: “Request for Intensification of prayers for the complete recovery of Mr. President”, requested the Chief Imam to communicate the request to Imams of all Jumma’at (Friday) mosques, while the CAN did same with pastors for similar prayers in all churches across the state for tomorrow services.
The commissioner, who spoke to journalists in Maiduguri, said he was mandated by Shettima to monitor compliance with the request through interactions with the Chief Imam and CAN chairman.
“Last night (Friday), Shettima directed me to write and sign letters requesting the Chief Imam and the CAN to kindly request Imams of all Jumma’at mosques and leading pastors in all churches across Borno State to lead Muslim and Christian worshipers yesterday (Friday) and coming Sunday, to intensify prayers for the quick and full recovery of our dear President Buhari.
“We believe any good Nigerian living in Borno is already praying for the President this is why we requested for the prayers to be intensified. The governor emphasised that I ensure the Chief Imam and CAN chairman felt in communicating with Imams and Pastors of all Jumma’at mosques and all churches were Sunday services are held. The letters were delivered early today (yesterday) and I have been in touch with both leaders.
“I can assure you that the Chief Imam communicated the request to Imams of all the Jumma’at mosques across Borno State.
All the Imams belong to different forums based on their denominations and areas of residence while the pastors are expected to be reached by the CAN chairman through a very efficient system.
“The prayers started today (yesterday) with Jumma’at mosques and we have monitored some here in Maiduguri and Jere and I was informed there were similar prayers in other Jumma’at Mosques in Biu, Bayo, Shani, Kwaya-Kusar were residents were never internally displaced and places like Gwoza, Konduga, Monguno, Damboa, Dikwa, Askira, Kaga and many other parts of the State where residents have returned after liberation of their communities by the military under President Buhari’s administration.
“Prayers were offered in IDP camps were Jumma’at services take place because all the camps have citizens that include existing Imams of Jumma’at mosques in different parts of the state affected by the insurgency.
From our estimation, not less than 350 Jumma’at mosques are currently functional out of 542 that we have across the state. I actually attended one of the Friday prayers in Maiduguri while Shettima went to Bama with the visiting Minister of Environment.
“To us in Borno State, President Buhari means so much because we know how much we suffered before he became President and we know there is overwhelming difference between now and before and this is why Shettima said we owe the President an obligation to prayer over his health and we owe our gallant military an obligation to pray for the health of their Commander In Chief, this is what Governor Shettima said to me last night and we have acted accordingly.
“We are now awaiting prayers in Churches on Sunday, we are sure it will be done by the garce of God and our President will be healthier than he ever was to conclude his victorious fight against Boko Haram insurgents which is our topmost priority in Borno State.”
Meanwhile, Atiku in a statement issued by his Media Office in Abuja, said each and every one us was a mere mortal, irrespective of how great or highly accomplished we are.
please my immediate sister got an invite from K and L holdings in Dopemu, I've searched google and here, nothing really... I would like to know if anyone here has any information about them. Thanks in anticipation NLanders.
Tell her not to honour any interview she did not apply for. They may be ritualistic or kidnappers beware
[quote author=Ioannes post=53578048][/quote]See this one that was brough up with proceed of corruption. You now want to compete to claim saint. So no corruption allegation against gateau, fashola, sgf, senate president, so far and and all your APC Messiahs. Irankiran omo alejatijati
Ioannes: Respect is earned not freely tossed around like a drunken sailor swilling beer from his mug. You want respect in real life? Then stop supporting corrupt public holders. They don't know you and if you run into problem in life they won't help you.
Postulating that no corrupt current public officers should be criticised because past public office holders haven't been apprehended is a position that can not be supported by any self respecting homo sapient.
I only show respect to those who respect themselves and I'm not here to garner anybody's sympathy. It's either you agree with my views or not. How you go about that determines how I respond to you.
Have a good day.
The same way u have right to support anyone whom I so wish is the exact way you can do. Kindly mind your language and behave yourself am not here to argue with you because you are claiming to be a saint. If fayose is corrupt what of you yourself. Your soul is just corrupt that you have been blinded with hatred and bigotry. Let me tell you if God be for anyone no man can be against the person. Ure the least thing that can corner the truth from people. You seems to be a delusional world of your own. You people just storm the internet to attack people's personality anyhow just because they don't see things in your perspective. You're just a wasteful addition to humanity. An accident created to happen and a serial confusionist. Oh need a life of your own. How many people around you have excelled in life for you to know that leadership is not yam and egg issue. You see your life now you are a product of your ignorance. Omo beeeeebe
[quote author=Ioannes post=53553454][/quote]I can assure you that you can't gather any sympathy here cos of your lack of respect for others. You are just another unnecessary addition to common sense.
Ioannes: Dumb dumb. Most of you have memories the life span of the common fruitfly. So I won't say it's totally your fault.
Are you one of those who queue with aged people on the streets of Ekiti to collect tin tomatoes? Well hopefully that era is about to pass forever.
Couldn't reply because I was so busy on serious matters than your attending to your rants here. Anyway I think the hunger affectingbyou has not deserted you. I am neither a politician nor an online rat like you. If fayose's success and style of governance is your headache then so be it. I am neither from Ekiti nor a family friend to fayose but people like you are the reason why your entire race is backward. Fulani herdsmen keep killing your people and all you care for is the piano and small politics. Qregbesola is there go for yourself and see what extravagance has cost him. He cannot execute any single thing. They keep borrowing money that a third generation from now cannot pay after receiving so much from the federal government. There I no way out. You cant embark on capital project S while your people are dieing of hunger. That is shear wickedness. Anyway people like you will dance to the heavens on Sunday's while you look away on a church member that is about to die or living in penury. Have a rethink boy.
olaolaking: He used their camo. I agree it is wrong. But why not hand him over to appropriate authorities? We all need Orientation Not only the soldiers. Many nairalanders will make mouth here to condemn the act. But give them that same uniform tomorrow. They will flex muscle.
Until we are sincere about ourselves, see ourselves part of the rotten system, everything remains unchanged the same. CHANGE BEGINS WITH ME
Are all patterned clothes camouflages. So what makes us different as a person. That behaviour is simply barbaric simple.
Ioannes: You have no idea dude... I'm very much interested in seeing him bite the dust. Nothing would please me more to see Fayose jailed for all eternity for his various crimes.
No, I don't hate him, but it'd be nice to see a criminal pay for his crimes.
I guess you'd rather hail him as a hero, right?
Which crime had he commited and in the glaring faces of persecution you still prefer to Side with the devil. Anyway I'm. Don't know him and don't need anything from him in life but remember karma. You may escape it but what of your children. Just spare them of this your self inflicting wahala and Jay blesses you not by character assassination.
I just wish this man lives longer than expected cos after chemotherapy it's not always as natural as God put it there. Exactly my fears. Will this man continue with eating late, sleeping late and worrying on those looting he will still discover right under his nose by close aides and cabinet people even while the economy divenose. Haha let this baba go and rest in his hometown here. He has done his part and it's only God that can reward him.
Ioannes: Like play like play Fayose's fish-cutting, ponmo-buying, rice-distributing era of stomach infrastructure is about to end.
I can already hear the sigh of relief of Ekiti state.
DSS should start tailing the idiot to make sure he doesn't skip town.
He's got a lot to answer for, starting with the leaked audio confirming his role in stealing the mandate of Ekiti people to the numerous public funds embezzlement allegations hanging from his neck.
He should be very busy soon visiting one court house to another, and one DSS office to another.
Why are you so interested in someone's downfall? Why dude.......
willian10: U mistakingly paid That's ur fault sir How do u expect them to withdraw the money from the beneficiary's account? This is bank, not PayPal wey chargeback dey
Oga this is not the first time this will happen , all they need to do is to contact the person and tell him to refund. Even banks make mistakes. However that is a not a moral justification to spend a money that doesn't belong to you. This is not a yahoo yahoo money. It means he bank is either a collaborator or highly inefficient.
That bank is something else now. If you don't take them by the jugular they won't respond. I had some issues with their local branch around me not until I called the head office and sent one nasty mail to them before they had my time. I recently mistakenly paid into someone's account up till now 4months they haven't done a dine. By the time I start with 4th you guys again. I would have demarketised that your branch finish. Ok make we start now since Una no dey hear word. Just yesterday stamp duty was deducted from my account at #400 and #250 just anyhow and a host of dubious deductions.
maternal: I can’t answer everything, just the things I’m sure about, as it’s been a while.
# Was first in Ontario now Alberta. With Alberta having oil I found there were more jobs, and Alberta has one of the lowest taxes in the country. Sales tax is only 5 percent.
# Live in a middle-class neighborhood. I have no complaints. Choosing a neighborhood depends on you personally, nobody can answer that. Mortgage plans depends on your credit score, the down payment you’ve made, etc. Again this is something personal that nobody can answer.
#It’s not hard to settle in a civilized/developed country. All schools are decent really.
#You can combine work and taking care of the kids, but it’ll be hard and you may not see the kids as much. Welcome to North America.
# Other than the cold which you’ll become climatize, there’s no real culture shock. Everyone from around the world lives here, and western culture is popular and not as foreign as other cultures. Plus you have enough Nigerians here to feel comfortable if you start feeling homesick.
# Just buy warm clothes. As for the cold weather, you have heaters literally everywhere you go. Plus we get a good 6 months of warm weather, so it’s not cold 12 months out of the year like stereotyped.
# A naija dish can go for 10-12 dollars a plate. Jelloff, stew, goat meat, and a can of coke for example.
#You can start any business you want as long as you follow rules/regulations
# How much someone can survive on depends on that family. Again, this is a personal question.
Calgary is a good, clean, and progressive city. I find Alberta to be more progressive than other provinces. Choosing Calgary was a wise choice in my opinion. What made you pick Calgary ? Welcome to Calgary.
We don hear OK make we draw kine for Una. From now on we want to see the guy with the best and most project in your both states. Maybe this is an opportunity for competition that will pay the masses. Oya on your mark, set.... Go
chinjo: So how much do u think is the morally acceptable fee to be charged by a high ranking SAN like Mike Ozekhome? How much did u think Buhari paid all the SANs that defended him for not providing his certificate?
Don't waste your time on typical Nigerian graduates and because they can't reason out of the box that is exactly the reason they are unemployable. Do fayose should not pay for professional fees and the poor lawyers in the san's chambers should die of hunger because one efcc is somewhere abusing power Abi. Power is transient .
Mr governor that government house is not your birthright. You have tried your best in shaming the man with your trash decisions and advise. Selfish man Ure yourself.
