Has absolutely nothing to do with Islam.

They know, but just use every opportunity to denigrate Islam and Muslims.

I remember predicting this thing ...years back .. infrastructure doesn't really kick start development it complement it this was what Peter Obi was arguing with osibanjo in 2019 now see the results

Speed rails are too expensive to run can never break even in a country as poor as we for now !!!!
What we needed was effective locomotive rail from Ibadan to the ports in Lagos to move containers

$150 million would have achieved that

Their is a rail from warri to lokoja ...it should have been locomotive from warri port to Abuja , with branch off to Onitsha and imo state
From onne to aba then to Enugu then to Jos and Maiduguri
All the Above can be achieved with 600 million dollars max if we have an effective government

1.5 billion dollars wasted I mean over 1 trillion Naira

If proforce and innoson where given 100 billion each to expand production they would have employed twice what this rail line would employ

1 billion to 100 cocoa clusters to build cocoa processing plants ban exportation of raw cocoa we only export cocoa powder and butter with would double value in a taxable business


This are the simple things Peter Obi is talking about ...we don't have much but we can effectively use what we have better

So today it's obvious Peter Obi was right osibanjo was wrong ....won't you still vote Peter Obi ?

What is a locomotive, what is a train and what is a speed rail.. Every train has a locomotive, so what exactly are you saying... Funny enough, see the number of likes u gathered from saying a lot but also saying nothing.

You are an unfortunate soul.. Your dislike for government should make you such a stupid horrible excuse for a human being, you do not know him, why assume the evil assumption of him. I happen to know this man from a distance and I didn't even know he was an aide to the Governor, such was the simplicity he exudes.

Trimjos:
It is high time all churches in Nigeria rally round Peter Obi, since the ruling party have chosen to show us that christians does not matter in this country. It will be nice to pay them back in their coin

This kind of statement is stupid, crass and insensitive.. Aren't there Muslims rooting for Peter Obi as there are Christians rooting for Tinubu,Atiku.
Totally dumb of you to call one Faith Darkness while calling the other light.

Stop misleading people like it's one hell of a smooth and easy ride for keke napep riders.
You buy fuel, you fix your keke, you pay for ticket and what about the stress? No be money you go spend take fix all these things?

If missing the point was a person.. You missed the point of the narration bro.

No deepthinking man will allow it.
If the father's name is what she wants to live for, why marry?Stay I your father's house and bear his name

As for the hybrid name, what does Obasanjo-Bello mean for example? You just created something new.
If you are outstanding, people will be interested in your background.
The Nigerian-Doctor that died during Ebola didn't affix Macaulay or Crowther to her name yet people found out.

If she can't submit her maiden name, is it her heart she'd submit?

I no even want talk about the spiritual implications.

What has deep thinking got to do witha woman kreping her maiden name, which one is spiritual implication again.. All untop of name she only uses officially. The whole changing of maiden name is actually a western construct.. Read your history, know your history.

Islam actually wants Women to keep their maiden name.. Something even most Muslims in this part of the World are not aware of.. Quite common in the Middle east and Northern Nigeria.

I see no biggy sha, but i personally she doesn't remove her maiden name, just add mine to it... Like Bella Adenuga-Disu.

Funny enough, she removed the Adenuga and just goes by the name Bella Disu.

Redoil:
Presently, we have an assembly plant that can produce five vehicles per day and with more investment
.
.
.
i dont understand

clown are they producing or assembling already produce vehicle from china

"Assemble already produced Vehicles"
If they are Vehicles already, why assemble them.

Vehicle production is basically vehicle assembly, You guys need to stop this nonsensical argument that seems to defy logic, year in, year out.

iyke2frankeze:
The government took the land and sold it to people and the court ordered the buyers who bought it from the government to bear the loss. The second time this is happening in Lagos within two months. Economic war against Igbos.

Some of you all can't see beyong your tribe lenses.. The majority of property owners in Magodo are retired top civil servants, Top guns in the corporate world, absolute majority are yoruba.. Yen yen, una go dey talk nonsense... Confidently.

motymop:
Magodo is now highbrow

You obviously don't know Magodo.

Tis well

richiepolymer:
Oga this is not a cable suspended bridge or whatever you called it. Those cables there are for decoration, they don't perform any structural support for the bridge in the picture. Try to search out what a cable bridge looks like.
Kudos to AKS Governor, at least they are not waiting for FG to do anything for them just like many states that hide under the excuse of FG.

Thank you o, i was dissapointed as i was reading through and no one pointed it out,.. They just added the cables for decoration, even the pillar they are attached to is a dead give away for any one even familiar with what a cable stayed bridge is.

Tetrahedron:

A whole gov celebrating “car park” in 2021!

Who did this to us, something a local gov chairman is supposed to inaugurate

Your words, not his.. The governor commisioned, no where was it stated that the governor celebrated thw "car park"


Yes, the is something a LG chairman should be opening if things were as they should be, but it is not.. No LG Chairman can embark on this project, compare that to New York city Mayor was budget dwarfs Nigeria's yearly budget, we are not just on the same level.

Righteousness2:
Brother I Praise GOD for your being alive. But that does not change the fact that Without JESUS Christ you are headed for Destruction in Hell.
As There is no other way to be Saved!

You are indeed one of those that are misguided. It is a pity how much confidence you have in a false doctrine

Palazee:
Nigerian bloggers and lie eh

Bloggers lie but Nigerians are also so gullible with these kind of news, a short clip of a woman falling unto a car is all that is shown in the video but majority of posters didn't even pause to think.. What if this was an accident, at least from the video, no evidence of her jumping out of no damn window cuz wife of one mysterious husband came home..

(CNN) - There are nearly 2 billion Muslims in the world, and the religious group continues to grow rapidly. Yet Islam continues to be largely misunderstood by many, which has given way to Islamophobia and even violence against Muslims.
While Islamophobia existed long before 9/11, a dislike for Islam and Muslims became more deliberately weaponized in the service of war and politics in the post-9/11 world, says Dalia Mogahed, director of research at the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding (ISPU).
Mogahed and others say that post 9/11 Islamophobia has manifested in different ways around the world, including the adoption of the Muslim travel ban -- one of former President Trump's signature policies; the persecution of the Uyghur people in China since at least 2017; and the mass murder of the Rohingya in Myanmar.
Twenty years after 9/11, ignorance about Islam and an "othering" of its adherents continue to be driven by tropes. Here are the most common:
1. All Muslims are Arab
Islam started in the Middle East, but has since spread all over the world. From the Rohingya in Myanmar, to the Uyghurs in China, and Bosniaks in the Balkans, Muslims are an extremely diverse community and do not come from a single region. Although many people use the terms "Muslim" and "Arab" interchangeably, it is not accurate to do so. "Arabs are actually a minority of the Muslim population, both globally and in United States," Mogahed told CNN. "They make up 20% of the world's Muslims." Muslims are not a monolith, and are of all different races, skin tones, ethnicities and speak different languages.
2. All Muslim women are oppressed
Patriarchy and the oppression of women are issues that exist in all communities, not just Muslim ones. "This is a common one we get, and it speaks to the ignorance and lack of context about Islam," said Zainab Chaudry, spokeswoman for the national headquarters of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). "Islam granted women rights to an education, property ownership, inheritance, and divorce." "One of the key points to keep in mind is that culture often gets conflated with religion," Chaudry said. "Islam actually encourages women to keep their autonomy and agency." While interpretation of religion can result in the oppression of women, it's usually rooted in other issues as well, Mogahed said. "It is a problem of egos, power, and self-interest and happens in spite of Islam, not because of it," she said.
3. All Muslim women wear or must wear the hijab to be practicing
The hijab is a veil covering the hair that some Muslim women wear in order to practice modesty. "The reality is that according to survey research, about half of Muslim women in the US wear it and half do not, it's an even split," said Mogahed of the ISPU's findings. While some governments, like those of Saudi Arabia and Iran, have made the hijab mandatory for women in public spaces, Islam itself forbids compulsion of any sort. "It should be a personal decision for each woman," Chaudry said. "It alone is not an accurate indicator of piety."
4. The Quran encourages Muslims to commit acts of violence against non-Muslims
Claims that Islam encourages violence against non-Muslims are usually the result of people isolating verses from the religious texts that grant Muslims the right to defend themselves.
"Cherry-picking verses from any religious text, including the Quran, and isolating them from their broader context and misapplying them to justify or condone any kind of violence is inappropriate and deeply harmful," said Chaudry. In fact the Quran is very clear about violence. Chapter 5, Verse 32 states: "Whosoever kills an innocent human being, it shall be as if he has killed all mankind, and whosoever saves the life of one, it shall be as if he had saved the life of all mankind." Members of all faiths have carried out violence, Chaudry said. It has more to do with the individual than it does the religion. "People who regurgitate the myth that Islam is violent haven't studied the religion," she said.
5. Muslims want to wage holy war by way of Jihad
In the West, the term "jihad" is often used interchangeably with "holy war." But that's not what it means. Jihad is an Arabic term meaning "to strive" or "to struggle." In the context of Islam, it means to work toward becoming a better Muslim. There are two types of jihad, inner and outer, with the former being known as the "greater jihad," and can encompass anything from not giving into temptations or making a greater effort to pray. Outer jihad, or "lesser jihad," can refer to a military struggle, but more commonly refers to actions like being kind to others or being a good representative of the faith. Mogahed points out that the term "holy war" originated from The Crusades, a series of wars initiated by the Christian church, and does not originate in Arabic or the Muslim tradition at all. "And war is not and can never be holy," she added.
6. Muslims worship Allah, their own special god
Allah is the Arabic word for "God," not a special and specific god that Muslims worship.
"Muslims worship the god of Abraham, the same god Christians and Jews worship," Mogahed said. "Christian Arabic speakers call God 'Allah' as well."
7. Muslims don't believe in Jesus or respect his teachings
Jesus is a prophet in Islam, just as Muhammad is. The notion that Muslims do not believe in Jesus is one rooted in the "othering" of the religious group. "Muslims believe in all of the prophets mentioned in the old and new testaments [of the bible]," Mogahed said. "Muslims see Muhammad as the final prophet, rather than the first and only, like many incorrectly believe." As a matter of fact, there's an entire chapter dedicated to Mary, the mother of Jesus, in the Quran, Chaudry said. "Jesus has a really prominent role in Islam, and he is beloved to Muslims just as Muhammad is," she said.
8. Muslims want to bring sharia to the West
Sharia has become a bit of a dirty word in the West, and is sometimes interpreted as incompatible with democracy. That couldn't be further from the truth, Chaudry said. "Sharia is a set of guidelines that are taken from the Quran and teachings of Prophet Muhammad that are designed to help Muslims live a moral and ethical way of life," said Chaudry. "People have developed misconceptions about it because of misinformation shared through media, pop culture, and anti-sharia bills that contribute to hysteria." As a matter of fact, part of Sharia is that Muslims must abide by the law of the land in which they reside, said Chaudry, which debunks the notion that Muslims want to bring the guidelines to the West.

This is the interior of a Modern Vehicle, it has automated driving, one can even leave the steering wheel for a certain amount of time, once you get into the car, it recognises your phone and with voice command, you can reject or answer those calls, it will give you directions to wherever you are heading, you actually just talk to the car, accidents are mostly caused in Nigeria because of over speeding and bad roads, I doubtFRSC has a record of any accident because one driver had his earpiece on. This announcement by them is just another avenue to rip people off. Enforce speed limit laws, make the roads good, road signage and safety infrastructures are needed, not this. If going by their logic, then radios in cars should be made illegal too because you can be listening to ax programme or song and that takes away "Total Concentration" from driving too.
Analogue leaders in a digital age sir, modern cars have in built phone call receivers, one doesn't even needs a ear piece to receive or make phone calls.

Terry Waya is the Founder of Banana Island, Femi Otedola is the CEO of Forte Oil... Both wrong statement but you know, any one can post anything on here.


Femi has divested from Forte Oil and is no longer the owner, was never CEO to being with.
Banana Island was initiated by Chief Adeleke, Davido Grandfather but the FG through FHA took over the initiative and built the Island.

Ellegacy:
I know that now. I'll be more cautious of what I say next time.

I like that you have taken folks rebuttal of your conduct in good faith, you have learned from it, an interview is a serious business, yes some interviewers dey take am like war, but you are the one looking for a job, be formal.. That "weldone sir" was very wrong in that setting �.
Learn from this and prepare better for the next one. Best wishes.

Chai!! God bless you abundantly Amen.

The way some people are treating their maids it's so bad. If you can't treat them like your own why bring them to suffer/punish them?

I always tell people around me to treat people well because you don't know the head that will wear the crown tomorrow.

.


It is not even about treating people well because of head wey go wear crown tomorrow, forget that one.. Treat people well because it the basic expected from a decent human being.. Not because you think they may be in a position to be a benefactor in some future.

The Night Skyline keeps getting better

ekene101:
Thank God you killed the one trying to swallow that lizard,it is bad omen for a snake to swallow lizard in the presence of a person, it means death was about to take someone you know but your quick intervention have saved that person.
Some people will call this superstitious belief,but it's real. Especially if you have a sick or pregnant relation.
Modified
Those of you quoting me,ask questions about things you know nothing about instead of sitting at home debunking what you know nothing about. I still stand by my words, "seeing a snake swallow a lizard is a bad omen"
It's not something you see everyday but once you see it, something bad is about to happen.kill it immediately before it swallows it.

WTF.. Lizards are the natural food for Snakes and other Predators, and to say it is rare to see is just absurd, you no dey watch National Geographic? .. So is it Sharwarma the Snake should be eating, what is wrong with Africans and superstitions that make absolutely no sense like this.

xpressionx:
They are not wearing hijab.....
I just remembered


Except they are Christians...

what am I even saying,sharia is for the poor

You lot like to say this when you see any article about rich Muslims not wearing hijab, but not when rich ones adorn themselves with it, neither do you say this when you see a regular Muslim without the hijab too.. The hypocrisy is silly to be honest.. Hijab is commanded on every Muslim woman. Expectedly, some will not wear it, whether rich or poor.

You simply used your own personal experience to conclude for so many others that studied medicine but have found fulfillment doing something else or even some that are doctors now but are frustrated within the system.. Well, because of the situation in Nigeria, the only advantage is how better countries are ready to take our Naija trained doctors.
Your point is Valid for you and you only.

So... I have a lot of nieces, nephews and neighbours kids around me, playing in the compound and enjoying the gift of being a child with little worries.. It usually takes my mind back to simpler times, when all the worry we had in the World was being forced to eat vegetables or some food we didn't like.. (Adulting na scam)
I remember fondly my childhood friends and even my first childhood "wife"

Childhood wife is now a big babe in customs, married with two kids and our mums are still close till today, I don't even have her number..


So tell us, are you still in contact or friends with those you grew up together, or like me, You have no idea of their existence??


This should be interesting..

She's chilling, making ends meet, living life like Millions of Other Nigerians.

If we had a competent, smart president.. This would have been nipped early, it didn't have to get to this stage but we had an oloriburuku president that had a god-like complex and acts like he is doing the rest of us a favour by being President.. What would it have taken him to do a national broadcast talking to the people. The same man that did 2 broadcasts within a week close to the 2019 presidential election.Which other president in any democracy would not deem it fit to address the nation that has had these level of agitation for 2 straight weeks, every opportunity he has had to rise up and be a statesman that he is supposed to be, he has flunked it.
Nobody is saying Buhari should solve all our problems as it is not for one man to solve but this man has not even left us where we were, he is the most divisive Head of State we have ever had. All his actions and inactions have made things worse. Nigeria is worse off that we were in 2015. The data is there for all to see. Where in our national life has he improved upon, where? , he could have handled this #EndSARS agitation better but even here, his wickedness and incompetency is clear for all to see.. if he had done even half of what Jide Sanwo Olu has done, the deaths all over the country, #massacre@Lekki wouldn't have happened.
To the soldiers that opened fire on protesters, won o ni jere awon Omo ti won na, the pain they have caused families shall be theirs in ten folds.
The stake has just been raised. We have not heard the end of this . God help us all.

The aventador roadstar is not 1Million dollars, new was 460,000 which is pretty expensive still. This is used but still... Quite expensive, I can only imagine what he paid for duty.

“It makes no sense for oil to be cheaper in Nigeria than in Saudi Arabia.”
-Muhammad Buhari.
But it makes sense that Saudi's minimum wage of $800/N305,194 to our $78.64/ N30,000(which a majority of the states aren't even paying yet)  is just about right.
Saudi Arabia has the lowest reported poverty rate in the Middle East and the 10th lowest poverty rate in the world at 12.7% compared to the poverty capital that we recently became under this Man... 40.1% poverty rate.
Do Saudi depend on petrol the way Nigerians depend on it, do they use it to generate power, power their businesses
The people that write speeches for this man sef.
