When the foundation is broken, what can the righteous do? A clear depiction of construction done out of greed, poor planning and selfish interest.Thank God no life was lost!!!

I assume u have prior knowledge of this building before making these claims?

Tolexander:
You would believe that there is a place of luxury and a place of necessity.

Don’t stay in the south deceiving yourself o bro.
Many of these nothern states do have at least 20hours of electricity daily. Hence, no need for a generator except for luxury.
Even in some parts of Osun State, 20-22hrs of light is non-negotiable.

I remember my stay in the south east, Umuahia and Aba to be precised. The lights there were wack. They needed generator so badly to survive, generator became a necessity.

Don’t let anyone deceive you with this north thingy o, Na there dem dey pack our money go o.

You are missing something quite obvious, if there is electricity there and no need for generators, y is the place not lit at night as per the images? Darkness at night also translates to lack of economic activities

The corruption and wastages in the Nigerian govt is just too much. Who will rescue us from these sets of politicians?? Egypt just announced 55,000megawatts of electricity, 25000 added from 2014 to date. I doubt if we have added 2000 in d same period and here we are wasting money that should be used productively.

QuickStandard:
That there's nothing they can do at the branch level, except from the headquarters, and I have to be patient.
Don't you think this is gibberish?

But am sure if I go there with trouble, there will be something they would be able to do......

And concerning the call to customer care, the only time they picked, they said it has been logged in, and I have to wait.

This is August! How long do you think I will have to wait

From your posts, the issue was in May. It's resolution is long overdue. U need to find out the resolution since customer care told u its been logged. Could it be that the bank that owns the Pos declined? Could it also be that ur money has been reversed already? U need to know, which still takes u back to either calling or visiting a branch. Ask for the resolution of the log, it normally comes 10working days time frame. Ur case is 3months already. I suspect u don't want to spend credit on calls, so u can do mail Firstcontact@firstbanknigeria.com since u obviously own an Internet enabled device or u tweet. You will get a response today.

QuickStandard:
My brother, I have done all that.
I have seen the BSM on this issue severally but she keeps saying gibberish.

On Wednesday i called the customer care line for 55mins, no one answered.

I have filled the said form but till now no response from them.

U said that already in your post. That's y I said call now. That u were on hold before doesn't mean u will be on hold now. This is morning.
What exactly was 'the gibberish' u were told?

Call them now on 07080625000 or visit a branch, fill out the form and also request to see the service manager. Ensure u have your dates and dispute amounts handy

The disadvantages of the skewed cut off marks is even worse for the backwards states and the education ministry should address it. The child from state A, knows he needs to do extremely well to stand a chance while the child from state B knows he just needs to sit for the exams. Which of them is encouraged /motivated to read?
And the cycle continues, while one state is getting better in this regard, another is getting worse. Insist on meritocracy and not just federal character and watch the backwards states begin to rise up. Keeping lowering the bar and keep breeding ignorance

Bolognese:
Please say what you know.

Dino graduated from ABU around 2000/2001, and went for service (NYSC) around same time. By 2007 Dino was elected as a member of House of Representatives.

If you claim he got those cars between 2001 and 2007 (mainstream politics) what business was he into, that could afford him those cars?.

If ur claim that he made his money from being in NASS is correct, that means all those in NASS equally made same money from being there. Note Dino has only spent 1term as senator and less than 1term as rep. So imagine those that have been there since 1999.

But it's always about Dino. Why can't you call out all of them there?

What rubbish, u re waiting to have N100m before buying food of N80m for poor people.
Now that u have N100, have u bought food of N80 for the poor with it?

Darevofpeace:
How are you sure it is not the government fund they would use to establish it?
It is very wrong for a sitting government to own a Private University simultaneously, let's assumed they did that five years after there tenure,it's still cool.
Let's see it from this angle again.Do you think all the course's would not get full accreditation by NUC .You knew already NUC has government interference.All things as such makes the black nations backwards.
Most African leaders are selfish and greedy,just mere acquisition mindset.What if the said cash to be used was injected to all the already available F.G university,it would boost the educational standards.
Remember that former president Olusegun Obasanjo also built a presidential library close to the tune of # 10billion.I read that Bola Ahmed Tinubu donated #2billion and all other PDP governor's too.How many people uses the library for personal research work?
Europe and America laugh us to scorn when African leaders does this.Our thought process is so wrong.
Most IDP camps are on starvation for month's now,Buhari did not see anything wrong with that. The people were licking salt and eating onion leaves for weeks now,that was this week news.
We suffers from two major things in Africa, poor leadership and improper management of public fund.
Buhari and his wife would not donate a single cash of their own to establish the University.

Simple reason is that the president keeps reducing the budget to fund education and yet planning to build a private University. Looks like conflict of interest. If public education is properly funded as it should, ASUU wouldn't care about his private endeavours. Our major problem, I think, is not bad leadership or improper management. Its absolute docility of the populace. We take everything leaders do like mugus, thats y they wil continue doing as they wish

Criminal...

Can you really surprise a Criminal? Can you...

Nairalanders won't kee pesin. Just say happy by to him and move on. Lmao

Kudos to the women, odiro easy

In my country, this building would gulp 200bn dollars and will never be completed

Even though APC is not on the ballot, this is happening. Imagine the bloodshed if they were. God saved Rivers State with the court judgements.

That's Amaechi's LGA. We will later hear that AAC won there

Politicians instigate and sponsor election violence for their selfish gains. Politicians also run to hospitals to commiserate and sympatise with victims of election violence in emotion laden voice. Yeye dey smell.
Thank God its just one major party that will participate in the March elections in Rivers state, if not, same thing will happen again. And they will still sympatise

PythonDancer:
Just take a look at the comments of all these Igbo atikulators on the thread .
Why are you people so useless?
Omg . I can’t hold my tears .
These Igbo people are so wicked and heartless.
You all rushed to hijack the thread like you always do to every thread on Nairaland just to s pew all these trash?
God will judge all of you .

The report even with no credible source clearly states 11/2/19 as date of incident (same date given by NEMA and CAN in another thread with casualty figure put at 11). Let's not even argue about casualty figures but why would the governor claim it happened on the election eve 15/2/2019 night?
Please condemn wat is clearly wrong and stop pointing out fingers at your imaginary heartless people.

This report states 11/02/2019 as date of incident. Why would a sitting governor claim it happened on the election eve if not to cause voter apathy??

When those who should be leaders and role models reduce themselves to petty liars just to cause voter apathy so they can remain in power, you begin to wonder what they even have to offer as leaders. There should be punishment for this kind of thing. Shame on u sir.

Prof was right after all

What kind of fufu and amala reportage is this??

After building it at govt concessionary forex, u won't sell at govt regulated price?
I hope the export rate is cheaper than govt regulated price, thats the only acceptable option.

I think this is wrong. It has spiritual, political and even legal ramifications. Churches should remain apolitical.

Why is the vice president flying with Caverton? Are there no helicopters in d presidential fleet?

He will spend maximum of 5years only in prison. I hope the money was fully recovered before this lenient sentence was handed

Can someone explain to me why we are begging China to commit to supply their stake in Niger oil to us when we have more oil than Niger and China combined x 100. What kind of investment decision is siting a refinery in a part of your country without oil and then begging another country whose reserve is not up to a 100th of yours to supply u?? If China agrees today and reneges tomorrow what happens?

There are at least 20 more viable cities to site this project than the President's home state

Op is right. The election is between Buhari and Atiku. The president is in the country but failed to show up for the debate. I don't think Atiku debating with others is good for him, it would have been a gang up. For those saying Atiku lost opportunity, the incumbent didn't show up for 2015 debate and still won the election. APC was waiting for the gang up so as to see what to criticise Atiku on afterwards.
BTW why is no one curious or 'mad' as to why the president never attends debates the way they are curious and 'mad' at Atiku for same offence. The President being a 2time offender.

A govt serious about hydrocarbon emission will first tackle gas flaring by the IOCs. Instead they are thinking of chasing poor masses up and down cos of generator when there's no stable electricity supply.

The 3rd force that can wrest power from Apc/PDP needs to start now to build on the grassroots against 2023 and 2027. It will require serious determination, effort and consistency over time for acceptance at the grassroots. They should forget 2019, the structures are not there.

I'm more concerned about the slow pace of things in the government. This bill was transmitted since August 3rd. Look how long it stayed with the President only to be rejected.

MZEE01:
It's your duty to control her body and mind transformation.

This man is selfish. I can judge him from his complain here. He was motivated by the sex into the marriage, not real love. Why are you running outside to complain about the woman you claim you love?

Your wife is your wife, and you must try beyond complaints to get her to lose weight. It's hard to keep pace with what we first saw in women at first sights. But becareful not to be motivated by 100% mere looks and beauty alone.

A typical example is buying a brand new car and expects it to remain same after 10 years of been rough-handled.

Sadly, adding weight is a Nigerian thing, where it's is believed such transformation is a real sign of enjoyment and motivation to lose weight is very low.

Bro, get to work on your wife to make her what you want her to be, rather than running from your responsibility.

Good write up but no tips. What do u suggest the man should do to make her lose weight? Note the things he has done already

While I condemn rape in strong terms, something is not quite right with the police investigation. The boy denied the allegation and also claimed his parents house (alleged crime scene) was locked that day. Was this claim even investigated? Then they charge to a court that is not competent to hear the matter, thus leading to the boy being remanded without his plea taken. What if he is innocent, imagine what he will be going through. I will assume that the lacerations from the medical report is consistent with rape, the report ought to have stated that.
