BokoHaramm:
Why can't this woman allow our milatary to do their job, Even in USA the Americans respect their forces and only engage in constructive criticsm and not destructive one.

MrPresident1:
Oby Ezekwesili should just go and sit down jare!
Kudos to the Nigerian Army.
Victory is from God alone.

I wish we could see the faces of folks that comment on this forum. Youngsters should learn how to approach a matter intelligently and tactfully. And if one has nothing meaningful to add to what has already been said, silence is golden.

Funny people

What do you mean by "endorse"? Are you asking for notarization of the docs? Cos that is what I think you are referring to if you are travelling outside the country, in which case you need to look for a notary Public to do that for you.

This is an interesting piece!

However, the challenge I have with this piece of info is that it will be hard confirming this report, except our government actually looks into it with eagle eyes to confirm the source and its authenticity. But mere looking at the indices, the American government and American businessmen are capable of anything, and the more interesting thing is that once a business person is American, the American government is almost always ready to support any concept that they believe will boost their political and economic power particularly coming from a citizen; I wish I could say that about Nigeria.

I believe the aspect of the report with respect to the crash in oil prices, and I also know that the American Government is in some kind of deal with the Saudi Arabian Government to clip Putin's wings in his quest for Russia to supersede America in some sectors. To achieve this, we all know that America is ready and willing to do anything, and this is why there is at present a certain interesting closeness between the U.S. and the Saudi Arabia Kingdom. Now, I do not know whether Nigeria's suffering from this alliance was intended by the U.S. or it was just a mere coincidence; afterall, when 2 elephants fight, it is the grass that suffers the consequences of the fight.

In any event, one thing that this whole issue has thrown up is Nigeria's over-dependence on oil and an abandonment of other sectors of the economy, including agriculture, mining, tourism, production, to mention a few. Nigeria needs to sit down and harness the gifts that God has endowed us with as a country housing many nations. AS a matter of urgency, we need to develop ourselves, or else, we are tilted in the direction of an abyss economically. And once our economy - which is the bedrock of our civilization is adversely affected - all other sectors will be torn into shreds. Just imagine a home without the ability to provide food, shelter and other basic necessities of life for its dependants.

Now, what is the way forward, I believe that the Nigerian Government needs to look inward for solution instead of looking outwards. This is an opportunity for us to develop our country and bring to the fore our strengths and the things that we are good at.

All the tribes in Nigeria conveniently grouped into states are good at something. We need to identify and groom what these natural talents and resources and build them into worthwhile things. Te greatest resource that Nigeria has is not the oil; it is human resource. We therefore need to tap this natural resource and put it to the maximum and best use for us to not only survive but to thrive.

... to be continued.

I find this interesting though. The fact remains that the soldiers were complaining of something. So my question is, has the Nigerian Army or any other authority for that matter really investigated the cause of the Soldiers' rancour, complaint or discontent? If not, why? Afterall, there is no smoke without fire. Sending soldiers to face a firing squad at a time when Soldiers' morale is low is akin to flogging a child when he cries because of hunger; and no one bothers to ask the child why he was crying. I think our military authority should stop chasing shadows and start looking at the substance - Investigate the cause of the Soldiers' disobedience to authority or it is mere hypocrisy.

This is my candid opinion on the matter.

Hmmm... desperation appears to be setting in.

The best thing to do is to upload them first before he does . Beat him to it. Wicked boy

God we need change in this country

I see no correlation between the events culminating in this recovery and what you posted! Also, what has God to do with thieves who conspired to steal and sell a baby? It was their choice to do what they did, and they do not need God to change their evil hearts.

when will u start posting reasonable comments and stop spamming every thread with this sh1t!

You cannot give what you do not have.

See us see wahala o. Did they bribe us to vote for them and we refused? Was Nigeria under any obligation to support the motion or the only country that refused to vote or were absent? Why only Nigeria? Why are they not attacking US? Anyway, let's watch out for our leaders' reaction to this insult. BTW, who dragged Nigeria into becoming a member of such organization?

The Minister of Police Affairs, Jelili Adesiyan, on Monday, said a plot by former President Olusegun Obasanjo and the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) to form an interim government has been uncovered.

The minister said this in Lagos at the launch of a book titled, ‘Watch the Watcher,’ written by an activist, Yinka Odumakin, in reaction to Obasanjo’s controversial book, ‘My Watch’.

Adesiyan said he had already directed the Inspector General of Police, Suleiman Abba; and the Department of State Service to arrest anybody that made inflammatory statements ahead of the 2015 elections.

He said, “Many of those in the APC are disgruntled PDP members who are no longer relevant and because they could not have their way, they have started to heat up the polity. They have said they will form a parallel government if they lose.

“I have already told the IG and the DSS to arrest anybody making such mutinous and inflammatory statements.”

Adesiyan said his suspicion was fuelled by a threat by the Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, that the APC would form a parallel government if the 2015 general elections were rigged.

He added, “Obasanjo is already planning to install an interim government with Buhari. But we will vote and we will work with whoever wins the election.”

Adesiyan, who was detained in 2003 for the murder of the Minister of Justice, Chief Bola Ige, said the former President was vindictive and was fighting Jonathan because he (Jonathan) had refused to be used by him.

The minister, who was later freed over Ige’s murder, said Obasanjo picked Jonathan as the late President Umaru Yar’Adua’s running mate because he felt he could control him but his plans backfired.

The minister said, “He picked a President that was sick and while we were campaigning for the President, he (Yar’Adua) was always in Germany receiving treatment. While many were lobbying for the VP slot, Obasanjo picked a gentleman, Goodluck Jonathan, who had no strong political base so that he could control him.

“Unfortunately for Obasanjo, God had a better plan and Jonathan refused to be used. Obasanjo, being the man that he is, has now teamed up with Bola Tinubu and Atiku Abubakar to snatch power but Tinubu will outsmart him because we Osun people are smart. Ask Tinubu, he is my brother, from my state. He is from Iragbiji while I am from Ode-Omu.”

The Director of Communications, Buhari Campaign Organisations, Dele Alake, said it was silly for anyone to say that Buhari was plotting the emergence of an interim government when Buhari was also participating in the presidential election.

He said, “It must have dawned on Nigerians that the PDP don’t have any answer to the multifarious problems plaguing Nigeria and that is why they have resorted to mudslinging and character assassination.

“If Buhari was planning an interim government, why would he be running for President in the first place? I think sanity has taken leave from them.

“Buhari remains the only viable solution to the quagmire that Nigeria has fallen into and it will take a disciplined person like Buhari to straighten things out.”

When contacted, a source close to Obasanjo, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said it was only the ex-president that could react to the allegation.

The source told our correspondent on the telephone, “It is only Baba that can react to the matter.”

So, Tinubu is not from Lagos.

Good one for Her. My only question,is how a fashion designer got an oil license. The report says Her company "Famfa oil" was awarded the oil block. Does it mean She was able to set up an oil firm that had the capacity to bid for oil blocks as at that time? Or was She someone's mistress? Simple logic tells me that there should normally,be no correlation between being a fashion designer,and running an oil firm. They are two distinct professions that are miles apart and not inter-related. But hey,it's none of my business.

Come on! Why did you derail your fine argument at the concluding part? I was enjoying your fine analysis of the situation until you abandoned it at the concluding part. Too bad.

I don't get it. When your certificate gets burnt or you lose it for whatever reason, you apply to the institution who issued it to you for a certified copy otherwise called CTC. This method allegedly used by the School or individuals is rather strange and unusual.

The title is misleading.

Blame everytin on GEJ, and PEJ! Vote GMB, Vote for change.

Does this solve the problem on ground at the moment?

temitemi1:
It is a pity they are draging military into politics with their cheap political campaign... Just to undermine the govt efforts against the insurgency... D man don denied am now, oya apc cook another one ... GEJ till 2019!!!

Does this affect the substance of the issues mentioned in the letter? Does this affect the validity of the cogent and compelling points raised in the letter? We need to reason properly before we spew out things.

What is your motive? If your motive is to make money at the outset, you might as well just stay put in paid employment.

Successful businessmen always have one thing in mind while starting up a business. Problem Solving. You will only get paid for solving problems. Dangote, Bill Gate, Otedola, Oyedepo, Oyaks, Ogunbanjos, etc are all making tons of money cos they are solving problems and meeting human needs.

In essence, your business has to be relevant to the people you are targeting... to be continued

Then, she should join the U.S. Marines

Continuity of what exactly??

Nigerian Legislators..... preoccupied with determining their salary scales, fringe benefit and unnecessary foreign travels, et al, since pre-1983...

Is this not the same state where BH is killing and maiming people? If this is that state, then I need say that the state government did not get its priorities right. Not only that, whoever approved of this white elephant project in the face of looming danger to lives and properties of innocent citizens of that state is a total nincompoop. This is complete bunkum. Anyone who wants to visit Jerusalem should do so with his personal money and nothing more; ditto Hajj. This is the height of insensitivity of an irresponsible government to the plights of its citizens.

What will Americans now do having a son of a kenyan rule over them for 2 terms.

Nice observation; however, the comparison is inequal and uneven. This is like comparing Jonathan with Obama. You see! The levels of development, growth pattern, environmental factors, mental, social, psychological and intellectual growth and development are not the same. It is like comparing sleep with death. America and some other countries are regarded as developed countries, cos they are. However, most African countries were regarded as undeveloped but later changed to developing just to accord some level of respect to us. But it does not change the fact that many African countries walk with their brains on the grounds and think with their legs up. Refusing to grow and develop by refusing to think rationally and intellectually, just like these folks are now doing.

If these guys want to stage a protest against the incumbent, it should not be because of this flimsy excuse. But then, what can I say? We are good in leaving substance and chasing after shadows in this part of the world.

Evina:
Hahahahahahaha. So my hair looks like a hijab?

Wow dude, you've got talent. You can make a lady blush while yabbing her.

Its like the hijab extended to your legs as well.

Point and kill . But hold on, is that guy in a room or in a pit latrine?

OMG!! This is an inferno. When did this occur??

rotflr..... hahahahahahaha!!!

Were you really on the titanic?

@ Op, the title of this thread is misleading You should probably change it to "Can anyone be this stupid and senseless," or better still, "can you trust anyone to be this stewpid and daft"

@ OP, are you just waking up from a very long hibernation?

Now, this is the reality on ground that attests to the sorry state of things in Nigeria.

One thing I need say however is that that facebook advert or Nairaland upload will not solve the problem. The affected persons should write petitions to the CP or even the IGP and state all the relevant facts to back up their claims. We need to rise up against oppressions by police and other law enforcement agencies in this Country. But rather than rise up to the occasions by making these guys realise that we will no longer tolerate their excesses and they should stop these high handedness and exploitations and maltreatment of innocent citizens, we tend to bury our heads in the sand and cry like helpless and hopeless people.

We also need to be suing the police for such and the so called police officers in their personal capacities as well, particularly as they were acting outside the colour of their office, and were therefore acting illegally and without proper authority. My humble contribution.
