Nice post

who ask u

Haters that say the govt is not doing anything will say a govt of pictures whenever an ongoing fed project is going on.

same folks that say no conviction yet on the war on corruption are the first people that cry witch hunt and "what of that one" whenever someone gets convicted...

I pity our leaders..

P.S Ameachi why your belle big like dat na.

So Presidential.... no first lady rushing out to greet before the first citizen.

we will get there... let's deal with corruption first

these are not Niger Deltans, these are paid touts, are they protesting against the trial going on in Italy or What ? last I check that's the govt prosecution GEJ..

step by step we will get there...
was budgeting not the main source of all looting ?
now the mentality of "come let's take our own share of the national cake" is changing little by little. #WecanMakeNigeriaWork

ggg

They will come and be saying "while the soldiers are fighting in sambisa" but when they show pics of soldiers celebrating in sambisa, they say its old pics, or propaganda...


You guys matta dong tire person.... nsutor mkpo

I watched a video on how a desert with virtually no water, was turned into the best city in the world... and I thought, to myself, Engineers sat down and thought about the world they lived in, the problems they faced and then turned the place where nobody wants to visit to a place where most people will kill for to get to.

Nigeria has the longest coastal shore in Africa, has an arrays of tourism hotspots across boards, diverse culture with their beautiful celebrations..
Nature has been good with us, we have rare Bad natural occurrences..

but the only problem we have is corruption and bad leadership,our Engineers can't nothing, not even toothpic (the same problem that plagues other African nations) and 55yrs plus, we have not been able to fix any of them, or make fair progress.

And the oil Dubai hv, we hv more, yet instead of using our oil to solve our problems as they did theirs, we are selling it, and using the money to fly there to buy clothes we and things we could produce here and to go to the desert to take selfie.
while our most skilled engineers instead of building others to be like them, fly abroad to slave away building places their kinsmen loot and work their life out to go and spend time in.

Human beings built Dubai, let's also build our Country.. mbok #dropsMic

SmartyPants:
I would have agreed with you except for the fact that the girl's scream when the boy caught the snake was real. Even mature actresses might not be able to fake that instinctive reaction.

Also all the kids seem genuinely excited. Plus they don't know how to properly handle the snake which means it can't be their pet. So while i did wonder how it happened that someone just happened to be filming 3 kids riding bikes (of all mundane things), it seems possible but not very probable that this was completely a stunt.

Maybe a partial stunt. I suspect the guy filming the video may have planted the snake to frighten the kids, knowing it was harmless, and they ended up being too ajebo to know that they should be scared.

watch the movie again, with a critical mindset, and you will see that it is a stunt...no where on earth except in India, will anyone see a snake and his brother say I will catch it with my hand. will they not drag him to the house to test his brain cells.
if the girl was scared, then when the boy caught it, she will stil have ran away from him, hold a worm, and take it towards your sister...and see.

there's no way all that cinema can happen.... can you imagine the man saying ... "do you want to hold it alone, give it another person to hold" after having said " these children are playing with a poisonous snake" where on earth does such happen ? nollywood yes, only there and this mans compound

it is staged...

how on earth would kids see snake and the first thought is to catch it ? when you see snake the first thought is stone.

the man: immediately someone shouts snake!!! will he not be the one to take over from there ?

how on earth do you say " don't hold it on the earth you will suffocate it, while you go on to say look at this children playing with poisonous snake ?' does it add up ?

to further show that it is staged he went on further to say leave the tail let it dangle.... to show it is alive, who was he planning to show it to ?

sumarry, the snake is a pet, considering the posh house and cars, its non poisonous, and the man thought he could pull a fast one on "non critical thinking folks" shaa he succeeded... shame some Nigerians still think Critically..

hahahahaha A frequent reader of Nairaland knows why those prophesies were made, that pastor must have see his prophesies on Nairaland front-page.
just know the trending stories do some reasonable prediction on the available fact....gbamm prophesy.



make I do come open my church oo

while I was still in Primary School my dad with his colleagues were the ish, the thing is my dad was too generous, each time he goes to the bar, he buys for everyone there, any tom dick and harry that came to beg got more than what they bargained, during Christmas, He would buy Crayfish and imported chicken and send to everyone in the village.

Today, my dads business associates have built their houses, bought their cars, some owned their filling stations....but I am home, because there's no money for Law school...
but everyone thinks my dad is a Goodman...but the truth is, he shared all the wealth of me and my siblings outside, and today we can hardly go to skol.


my family story is the story of Nigeria, just that though we eat at home, Folks can't eat across Nigeria because of the Careless, spendings of govt past....

can you imagine ?? trillions of Naira ?

folks bombing the Niger Delta won't see how the government gave up money that could have been used in benefitting their region in oiling the hands of these already rich oil companies.

so in. essence, they came mounted their rigs mined our oil, sell it anyway they liked, keeping back all the proceeds ? 1trillion naira ??







There are 60 seconds in a minute so you would count #60 in one minute.
There are 60 minutes in an hour so you would count 60x60 = #3600 in one hour.
There are 24 hours in a day so you would count 24X60x60 = $8,6400 in one day.
There are 365 days in a year so you would count 24X60x60x365 = #31,536,000 in one year.
To find how long it would take to count to a trillion naira divide 1 trillion by 31,536,000. That is 1,000,000,000,000/31,536,000 = 31,709.79 years.

that is the money they dashed out to people that were already stinkingly rich, talk of oil companies.

gsf

mbok our governors in the south, when you go to lag don't bring hotels mbok, bring dividends of democracy like these ones.

God Bless Nigeria,
With positive sights from the war on terror, and Nigerians finally learning to get off their lazy ass to create food for themselves, its is obvious to the blind that this Nation is finally growing.

You mean the APC lawyer in akwa ibom? Ok. Lets see

Everything you guys see in Nigeria is either APC or PDP, how are both related with this man suffering unduly for another's crime ?

of what benefit will it be to APC that this guy is released, and of what benefit is it to PDP that he is remains in detention ??

I select what I stand with him for, I will support his helping the buns guy, but won't support his strikes against Akpabio.

At this point, forget about him, and think of the man who walked on his leg only to be denied walking back home. Is it fair ? is the contractor APC or Just a scape goat... mbok yak ikere mkpo ofon ke idung nnyin Ami, man afon

Lalasticlala please allow Nigerians to get this man the justice he deserves my moving this post to the front page for the social media to do what it does best.

folks put yourself in his shoes, Imagine being looked at by the whole world as a cold blooded murderer and an incompetent engineer. Imagine the pain and shame the family is going through.

Qui fecit per allum, fecit per say.
let justice be done, though the heavens may fall.

ON THE ARREST AND CONTINUED DETENTION OF COLLAPSED REIGNER CHURCH ROOF CONTRACTOR:
RIGHTS LAWYER DEMANDS IMMEDIATE RELEASE OF REIGNER'S CHURCH ROOF CONTRACTOR FROM POLICE CUSTODY.
Lagos based human rights lawyer Mr. Inibehe Effiong has written a letter to the Akwa Ibom State Commissioner of Police demanding the immediate and unconditional release of Mr. Idorenyin Daniel Udoh the roof contractor who handled the roofing of the uncompleted building of the Reigners Bible Church International in Uyo which collapsed on Saturday, December 10, 2016 killing and injuring several guests and worshippers during the bishopric consecration ceremony of the Founder and General Overseer of the Church, Apostle Akan Weeks.
In a four pages letter dated 30th December, 2016 with Reference No. PT/01/IEC/2016 to the Akwa Ibom State Police Boss, the lawyer expressed dismay that his client who voluntarily went to the State Criminal Investigation Department to make a statement following the collapse of the uncompleted building has been arbitrarily detained since the 12th of December, 2016.
The letter reads in part ‘’Our Client was hired by Apostle Weeks to construct the Steel Roof/Truss of The Church which he did diligently, in strict compliance with the specifications laid down in the structural design and in accordance with global best practices.’’
‘’Sir, while the tragic event of 10/12/2016 at The Church and the resultant fatalities and injuries are highly unfortunate, it is apposite to set the records straight as it pertains to the role played by Our Client in the construction.’’
‘’First, the contractual relationship between Our Client and Apostle Weeks for the construction of Steel Roof/Truss of The Church was birthed by an Agreement dated 29/8/2016 wherein it is provided inter alia: That the contract shall be completed within 10 (ten) weeks. Due to the failure of Apostle Weeks to satisfy his financial obligations under the Agreement and delays in the other components of the construction, Our Client could not meet-up with the agreed timeline for the project.’’
‘’Second, owing to the overwhelming pressure mounted by Apostle Weeks, who was emphatic that not only must the uncompleted building be used for the bishopric consecration but must also be conducive for his invited guests, especially the governor of Akwa Ibom State, Deacon Udom Gabriel Emmanuel, the construction work at the site was hurriedly done both day and night.’’
‘’Third, it was Apostle Weeks who personally, expressly and vehemently ordered the removal of the main scaffold that supported the drum at the centre of the building less than 24 hours before his abortive consecration. That action ostensibly contributed greatly to the collapse of the building. Our Client did not only refuse to remove the scaffold as ordered, he drew the attention of the site engineer, Engr. Anietie Augustine Ndarake and one Engr. Uwem Okoko to the directive of Apostle Weeks. All entreaties by Our Client to Apostle Weeks to rescind the removal order and allow the scaffold to remain fell on deaf ears. Mr. Weeks proceeded to order another person, a certain foreman by name Itohowo Essien, who was also working at the site to remove the main scaffold and paid him the sum of N50,000.00 (Fifty Thousand Naira) for complying.’’
‘’On 12/12/2016, Our Client voluntarily submitted himself to the State Criminal Investigation Department (State CID) where he was made to make a statement on his role in The Church building construction. Our Client in his statement to the police at the State CID stated inter alia: That it was Apostle Weeks who ordered and paid for the removal of the main scaffold that supported the structure. After his statement was recorded, Our Client was detained that day at the State CID where he is still being held (more than 18 days or 432 hours) in gross and inexplicable infringement of his fundamental rights, particularly his rights to: dignity of human person, personal liberty and fair hearing guaranteed by Sections 34, 35 and 36 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended), respectively.’’
‘’Our Client is a law abiding citizen of the Federal Republic of Nigeria with no past criminal record whatsoever. As a qualified, trained and highly experienced welder trained by the Maritime Academy, Oron and Slawd Peters, Etinan, in Akwa Ibom State, Our Client has successfully executed several prominent roofing contracts without any unpalatable incidence being recorded. Just for the records, please note below few of the past places where Our Client executed roofing contracts which can be easily verified:
1. Deeper Life Camp Ground, Idoro Road, Uyo, Akwa Ibom State;
2. Deeper Life Camp Camp Ground, Akpaboyo, Calabar, Cross River State;
3. Deeper Life Camp Ground, Ikot Ekpene and Ikono LGAs, Akwa Ibom State;
4. Church of Christ, Ikot Ekpene Road and Paul Bassey, Uyo, Akwa Ibom State;
5. New Testament Church, Eket, Akwa Ibom State;
6. Bristol Helicopter Hanger, Port Harcourt, Rivers State;
7. Winners Chapel, Ikot Ebido Oku, Uyo, Akwa Ibom State;
8. Assumption Parish, Catholic Church, Essien Udim, Akwa Ibom State; and
9. Udom Town Hall, Awa, Onna LGA, Akwa Ibom State (opposite the country home residence of Governor Udom Emmanuel), among others.’’
Mr. Effiong further stated that the rule of law should be respected in the matter as Nigeria is a country of laws and not a jungle. ‘’Sir, you will agree with us that irrespective of the opinion held by the Nigeria Police Force, the Governor of Akwa Ibom State who publicly ‘ordered’ the arrest and detention of Our Client, or by any other authority or person about the immediate and remote causes of The Church building collapse, the due process of law must be adhered to without equivocation. Nigeria is a country of laws and not a jungle. In this country, it is the Rule of Law and not the rule of force that reigns supreme. The world had long graduated from the Hobbesian state of nature where life was short, nasty and brutish, based on the survival of the fittest, to an era of constitutionalism.’’
The fiery human rights lawyer expressed his disappointment with the decision of the police to detain the roof contractor for such a long time without trial when the ‘’prime suspect’’ and Founder of the Church, Apostle Akan Weeks is walking freely with police protection, paid for with tax payers money. ‘’Painfully, the prime suspect in this matter, the person whose illegal, reckless and desperate decisions, acts and omissions crystallized and contributed greatly to the disastrous incident of 10/12/2016; the very person that ignored several STOP WORK notices placed by the Uyo Capital City Development Authority (UCCDA) on The Church, Apostle Akan Weeks, is walking freely, protected by the men of the Nigeria Police Force, funded with tax payers money.’’
‘’On 25/12/2016, Our Client spent his Christmas in the police cell while Apostle Weeks who should be under investigation by the Nigeria Police Force and the Akwa Ibom State Government was enjoying himself with Governor Udom Emmanuel at a Christmas party held at the governor’s country home in Onna Local Government Area. (The evidence of the Onna Christmas party is enclosed for your perusal). We are aware that some other persons who worked directly in the construction site were immediately released on bail after making statements to the police. The attempt to use Our Client as a scapegoat in this matter is intolerable.’’
Mr. Effiong drew the attention of the State Police Commissioner to treat to the health and life of Mr. Udoh who he said is suffering from Asthma and gave the police 48 hours to set him free or face legal action. ‘’We consider the arrest and arbitrary detention of Our Client as a slap on the face of the Nigerian Constitution and democracy. There is no legal, moral or logical justification for the unconstitutional manner Our Client has been treated. We are confident that you will abide by the reformative policies of the Inspector General of Police as it relates to illegal detention of suspects beyond the period allowed by law, which is 24 hours.”
‘’As a postscript, we wish to advert your mind to the fact that Our Client is suffering from Asthma and is presently unable to access proper medical care. You may wish to interface with the Investigating Police Officer (IPO) of the case (one officer Raymond) who is in custody of the inhaler belonging to Our Client. Our Client’s health and life are in serious jeopardy.”
“In the light of the foregoing, we respectfully demand that you should immediately and unconditionally direct, cause or effect the release of Our Client from custody within 48 hours of receiving this letter/application. Our Client undertakes to present himself whenever required, either in the police station or in court. Kindly Take Notice that if this application is not granted as prayed, we shall explore all available legal options that are available to Our Client.’’ Effiong concluded.
The letter was copied to the Assistant Commissioner of Police, Police Complaint Response Unit, Force Headquarters, Abuja; the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) and the Network on Police Reform in Nigeria (NOPRIN

what is wrong with us ?

Ndahhhh you guys ehnn.!!!
In America the perception that the have towards the police is one of friendliness, but yet the state still sponsors some movies like 44mins to improve the image of the police.

in Nigeria, the police have terrible image, and this is not good for the country, for us to be secured we need to trust the people securing us.
hence the police is trying desperately to rebuild its image.
the transparency of the last police recruitment exams, the using of Koredo bello as their ambassador, the xmass carol etc.
the police are our sisters, brothers, and cozins, some are our dads, and not all are bad.

so moves towards rebranding the force, little as it may be, should be applauded.
