That means say south south are peaceful and loving people

aybabz101:
in truth, I am indifferent about this situation because its expected. The neighboring states will be fighting for these communities because they are border communities and different stories will be flying around which will instigate violence within these communities.

With d level of thinking and aggressiveness is the north, I hope they won't kill themselves finish before the drilling even start self (if d oil is truly available in commercial quantity as claimed)

This dunce again?? Odili who is affiliated to a powerful figure in the PDP should have been included in the panel of Judges on a case that directly affects her?? This paid activist needs to read Demola Olanrewaju (a PDP supporter extraordinaire) twitter account where he posted the names of the past Supreme Court judges in previous cases and noted the fact that from as far back as 1979, the Supreme Court has not always picked the most senior Judges in presidential electoral hearings.

Our journalists could easily have unearth these facts rather than follow conjectures, the likes of which this poster spits around rabidly.

NORSYK:
Buhari the tyrant is setting a bad precedence, he has jettisoned a lot of due processes in other to suit his Evi ways.

Leaving Justice Mary Odili behind is understandable because of what PDP did during the time of Appeal court's president time. But leaving justice Ngwuta is a slap on the face of Nigerian judicial system

Mynd44:
The PDP messed it oo. The moment they went to the medoa talking about what judges they wanted, they made those judges look compromised and sympathetic to them.

They eroded the personality of the judges and it makes the judges in a way, ineligible to sit on the panel

Eteka1:
The case had no merit (even in the eyes of a layman). What exactly were you expecting the Supreme Court to crack their heads over? That Buhari doesn't have educational qualifications, or that INEC transmitted results to an imaginary server? The speed with which a case is decided depends on the complexity of the issues raised.

Sentiments aside, the case didn't hold water.

As for the process of picking members of the panel, I think the discretion rests solely on the CJN. You wouldn't seriously expect him to appoint people he knows to have some kind of vested interest or the other in the case to serve as Judges on the same case.

By TonyeBarcanista

The apex court did not state reasons for the judgement, it however left the camp of the president and ruling party in celebratory mode, while members of the camp of the appellants left the court room sadder than when they came for hearing.

TonyeBarcanista:
Firstly, the noninclusion of honorable justice Mary Odili and honorable justice Sylvester Ngwuta as members of the panel of justices that heard the appeal raised concern as both justices are senior members of the Supreme court bench, and the CJN, by so doing, discarded the age long tradition of having the most senior seven justices to hear presidential petition appeals at the Supreme court.

TonyeBarcanista:
Secondly, composition of members of panel that heard the appeal did not reflect national spread as it excluded justices from the southeast geopolitical zone in the seven justices that heard the appeal. The panel has two justices each from the northwest and southwest geopolitical zones, one each from northcentral, northeast and south south zones and zero from the southeast zone. This is also against the age-long tradition of the apex court. More worrisome is the fact that justice Sylvester Ngwuta, a senior jurist at the apex court from the southeast zone was excluded.

TonyeBarcanista:
Thirdly, the speed at which the appeal was heard and discarded left observers worried. This is because the names of the seven-member jurists that heard the appeal were only unveiled few minutes before commencement of hearing and the verdict was given less than thirty minutes after conclusion of hearing- all these happened same day and it is unprecedented in the history of presidential appeals in Nigeria. This left Nigerians to wonder whether the whole process was mere academic exercise as the court seemed to have reached a verdict even before parties argued their briefs.

Why will you sell it, why not loan it to us to be paid monthly or as the case maybe, or mortgage it to us. The so called big men will hijack it now and turn it to their own mistchew

Stay with the company. This happens every time, when you newly join a company, you are inexperienced or not as much experienced so your pay may be lower, over time, your salary should be reviewed. However, except there is a general salary standard for that position, your salary may not be reviewed on time, for obvious reasons.

She should stay with her company because for them to increase her salary, it means they know her value and they are willing to match her new offer to keep her based on her current performance, it will show that she is committed to the company and the company will be indebted to her, they will also understand that she is valuable and can easily get a new offer elsewhere.

This new company will not value her as much, they believe they are offering her better than what she’s earning before and as such there’s no where better for her to go. That if her previous place was better, she wouldn’t have left, for offering her better than what she’s currently earning, they will expect her to perform wonders, putting her under serious pressure.

And by the way, she will soon find out that N850k is not so much.

How much experience do you have working or employing people
What you just typed there is trash. Sorry to say.

Akexstinger:
Never accept a counter offer.
I was in the same shoe last two month. My old coy promised me heaven n earth, promised to increase my position, then even give me contracts. They begged me not to go, and I was already used to them. After wide consultations and reading so many opinions on quora, I went for the new offer just to save my head. If you stay back, your management will see you as a traitor and someone not reliable. It is like a stab. I made my MD to understand and he told me he knows that is what i am thinking and wouldn't want me to think like that, and that he was willing to overlook the fact that i already resigned and then stayed back because of increment and my job will still be intact. Me i no trust anybody, i just carry my bag jejely move.
It is true that the new coy might not even value you , they will see it as regular employment and they are paying you to do your job. But one thing you have to know is that no coy values her worker until such.worker gets a bigger and better job.

shevon:
Back in 2010 I found myself in the same position, if I mention the difference in the amount I was being paid and what the company offered to pay because I got a new job, people will not believe it. I had to leave just because I felt the company I was working with was not sincere in dealing with me (and other staff to be honest). Why was it when a new job came calling that they knew to increase the pay? Why not pay their staff salary commensurate to their input if it is so valued? - Valid question
One thing to consider is that there is the tendency for you old job not to increase your salary again for a while, but if you perform in your new job and get confirmed, it might come with pay increase. - this is what I have seen happen in many cases
Besides that, a new job means new experiences and challenges to surmount and better your career; I have seen people that shrugged off fear of the unknown and were better for it.

Preator:
Hmmn.
Once you have made known your intention to leave, never stay back no matter what they offer.
You either get dismissed later on (after you have lost the other offer) or you get marginalised because your intention to leave shows "disloyalty" and "lack of commitment" to your current workplace.

Our lectures want to lecture in more than one university and be on the payroll of all of them but because of their BVN , the system will not allow for this.
They should understand that circumventing the system in any way is tantamount to corruption. The minstry of finance should not bend backwards to accommodate this.
No lecturer in a federal institution must lecture in another federal institution but rather in a state institution instead. This should be good enough for them
I think this lectures collecting in more than one institution is the reason they have not been able to think outside the box or come out with inventions that can bring about development and growth in our nation.

Water has been pushed to the wall, the only thing it can do now is to bounce back. Eko Atlantic is a big Scam! However the poor will always suffer it.

When God create black man, he didn't give him brain for leadership. What he said is simply like someone who was forced to undertake a project in a country where the same region pays tax. Land is not free anywhere in the world. There was a land use dispute between a top English club and the owners of the land few years back.

As a FG, u simply find a way to resolve it not making threats. These leaders are the major reason I'm so tired of the country. Leadership skills, they don't have. It is so obvious this man and majority of the leaders in Nigeria are so reluctant in siting any project in the east.

And you shift blame to the FG and exonerate greedy community elders and youths who want to blackmail the FG and contractors for personal greed. You are right, When God create black man, he didn't give him brain.

Yusuf4: :
How then can you just conclude that it’s the Youths that are not doing anything that wants to be compensated. The truth is, the Federal Government don’t want to compensate the land owners on the ground that it’s a public project that will benefit them.

As far as I know, this project will not even benefit the host community specially.

Are you sure you know what you are saying? A major road and bridge passing through your community will not benefit the community? A bridge a major bridge that will link the south to the rest the country.
Anywhere a major road in completed, land value double instantly.

Yusuf4:
Well, while it’s good Federal Government situates Projects that will benefit all, imagine that the only land you bought with your money as a future investment had been marked for project by FG, what would you do? During Jonathan regime, Hausa people benefited by giving out their land for federal projects

“To compound matters, contractors kept away from site often make further demands for payment whenever they return to site.” “By denying the federal government lands for projects and creating unnecessary obstacles for the execution of these projects, it may be unfair to turn around and accuse the same Federal Government of marginalising people in terms of projects allocation. “When it comes to the welfare of the people, governments at all levels should be united by the common goal of improving the well being of the people, regardless of political affiliation. “It is, therefore, impossible to spread Federal Government projects when petty demands or politics is allowed to override the higher interest of the people.”

Recall that in September, Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola alleged that some communities in the south-east demanded N100 billion compensation over the construction of Second Niger Bridge

BuhariAdvocate: :
That is very wrong.Government should know that the issue of community chasing away contractors that refuse to compensate them not just started today. Its a long tradition in our society. I'm expecting the contractor's to settle the community also government should wake up to their responsibility by providing job to the youth Because if they are living fine they will not ask contractors for money .

What do you mean settle community? Is the project itself not enough settlement for the community. Take for example the second Niger bridge, do you know the long term benefits the bridge will bring to communities on either side of the bridge, and the whole south east as a whole. This is the bridge south easterners had been clamouring for decades. A few greedy people will now chase contractors from site because the want to collect money.
Mind you, I am not saying those that lands directly affected by the projects should not be compensated, but giving all the communities (aka community elders and youths) along the route money for not doing any work is wrong.

mrvitalis:
The constitution demands compensation before land is taken ...lands are expensive in the east negotiate with the families but wanting to do it by force is never going to work

Land mass has never being an issue ...England is just like Niger + brono states but they controled half of the world

Are you aware that Lagos IGR is greater than that of Rwanda... While Kigali is more developed than Lagos..

My point.. Stop celebrating mediocrity
Lagos is not where it's supposed to be

A big fat lie Kigali developed than Lagos? Most of you will just sit in one corner of your and blab nonsense!


Rwanda just build an airport, and went to social media to announce it to the world, like WTF? Was it not same Airport almost all state in Nigeria has? I don't where you guys get your information from though!

The closure of Intel's was 100 percent political stop the opposition from having access to funding so let's not decieve ourselves ..the sharing ratio was open , 70% to FG and 30% to the initiator Intel's but the Buhari govt breached Intel's not because it's 70% wasn't being remitted but because INTELs didn't pay its own share of 30% into the TSA ..very laughable , we all know it was dirty politics at work ..

FarahAideed:
Not the same with Intel's at all, intels was offering real cabotage services and not pay for protection racketeering

NPDC headquarters in OKO/Ogba road, Benin city. The construction was being carried out by BNL ltd. The project has been suspended for now due to disagreement between the construction company,BNL and the govt agencies NNPC/NPDC/. As at the time of suspension of that project early this year, the locals working on that project was less than 15. A relative of mine was part of the few until they were stopped early this year. I know what I am saying.

fkj950ax:
Why are private securities providing bullion services or guards at homes, businesses or offices?

We keep saying the government has no business in business, but we want government to do everything.

Until all SSA's are stopped and not one of them, then I will take you and your government serious.

fkj950ax:
Government is continuous. There is no APC, PDP, GEJ, OBJ or PMB.

I won't respond to you further if you are of the school of thought of "past government".

Leave me with my senselessness.

naptu2:
Remember that the project was initially meant to be in Ondo State, but the host communities frustrated Dangote with outrageous demands and so Fashola came in and snatched Dangote from under their nose. There's no way that Fashola would have allowed a repeat of the Ondo experience in Lagos.
