Honorary degree beneficiaries don the most attractive gowns than those who earn their degrees. According to Zubruddiah Okorigwe Nwogbo alias 4.30, ' why police recruit gun dey always long pass Police Commissioner him own' ? Issorite God dey.
Post yabis congrats to his Excellency and wife Lara!

I like what you are doing. Fine tuning the story to something more presentable. Maybe, in the words of JW Watchtower, "more light" is coming into the story and so you have to fine tune it.

And you were able to count 400 soldiers immediately? Imagine, 400 soldiers and they wouldn't force their way to release the girl? Hu?

I still keep asking, where is Amaechi and the 400 soldiers?

River State ehn nah wah. Are the 400 soldiers real or the fake ones 'liberated' at Gokana?
When I first read 400 soldiers, my mind went to BH has arrived Port Harcourt during elections, therefore the rescheduled elections will have to be re-re-scheduled again until INE-C becomes INE-D or Independent National Election Demon.

I go with No 1. She has poise and confidence. The beautiful ones are yet to be born though, wait an see.
On a less serious note, beauty lies in the eyes of the 'beer holder'. lmao. I got a can of Castle beer here mehn! Go get one if you want to share my point of view.

This is the training ground for all the armed robbers, agberos and political thugs in Nigeria. The next course will be how to dodge bullets, followed by 'JAIL break made easy'.

Simply put, when will Nigerian men all become wrestlers? Nah una de encourage domestic violence.

At the same time they will separately be preparing Ojakpa, Obegwa and Obiolor respectively. The man wise no be small. Igala olodudu o o

The woodpecker EFCC should let go the axe and attack the eyes of the tree cutter. A broken axe is easily replaceable but blinded eyes aren't.
If Buhari cannot do it I doubt if any other can. He should forget International restraints and do it once and for all. Eeemmmm Ghana! No Rawlings!

is Osun a state or a local government?

It is not a state. It is a river, a goddess, a groove in Oshogbo but a state it is not. If it were to be a state there will be no name therein like Aregbe. Quote me but do not say I told.

Rocha's okorocha

The only governor that's a pregnant man. He scams are legendary

I am beginning to like him now. I was one of his greatest critics until I went round Owerri. His strides are already threatening those of De Sam to be honest.
My advice to him is to always keep to his words especially with workers. He should also mend fence with traditional rulers. The sky is his political limit. My view anyway.

HungerBAD:
This Saraki is a Comedian.

He should go into the home video business after he gets kicked out of the Senate, and completes his jail time. There are many differences between you and Tinubu, but most importantly Tinubu is one of the reason's why we have democracy in Nigeria.

When Tinubu and the likes of Abraham Adesanya, were in the trenches fighting for Nigeria via the NADECO, where was this Mr Ibu?so the PDP lead Government cooked up charges, and tried to put Tinubu away. But, they also knew that touching a freedom fighter like Tinubu, would signify the West going their way.

So the honest man was left alone.

Saraki in your case, you have never worked in your life, and from your fathers living room you went into power where looting became your surname.Please Saraki, never in your life compare yourself to Tinubu.

You committed a crime, Tinubu was not there, so face your trial alone without calling names.

The only approved name for a thief is a THIEF. It doesn't matter whether he is a freedom fighter creating loopholes for stealing or one perfecting his father's trade of theft. A thief is a thief is a thief is a. . . ad infinitum. Sai Buhari.

chocolateme:
He will be released..
Buhari I blame you for this..

Are u witness to the kidnapping? What is he is resting after pre elections hassle? All these nah for media hype. The man de rest for one corner.

ladyF:
It just shows what you look out for. I really hope this doesn't go for a greater percentage of men. The world is ruined!

Be honest ladyF. What else should we be looking for? Cash, or things that are better imagined until tested and tasted? Waiting to hear from ur side. Cheers.

Can you imagine? Every disappointment is indeed a blessing. While I was seriously sad about my Boss sending me on a yeye official errand I never knew I was gonna meet a very intelligent nairalander

I got to the firm and was told to wait at the reception that their Almighty boss was in a meeting with someone. I was there for over an hour and was getting really impatient when this tall handsome guy walked in. Think he came to Audit the firm cos the receptionist called him Auditor. He went to drop his bag and came back to gist with the ladies,he was very jovial.

After sometime he turned to my direction and was like "that frown isn't good at all" put a smile on your face,its too early in the day to be frowning like that. I didn't know when I shouted i'v been waiting here,i'm tired already. The next thing I heard was "Endtime tiredness" I was trying to recollect were I'v read that phrase then I remembered twas Nairaland. I became interested in the fellow instantly! No need beating around,i asked if he was a nairaland member,he said he's a guest but I didn't believe him. I suspect he's Thesonofmark though he had beards, full beards.

We gisted about the forum,romanceland especially! He said he doesn't visit romanceland, he only checks career,autos,celebrity and pet because of his dogs. The guy was neat,cute,jovial very very intelligent as we talked about auditing which I plan on getting a professional qualification in. I didn't release my contact because I suspect he's a popular guy here but doesn't wanna disclose that.

If you know you the Auditor I met this morning @ prince Amadi's firm in Oniru, I know you would see this either as a guest or member I don't care, you better be sincere so we can be friends. I still need to learn a lot about auditing from you and a lot of other things pm me! We can still meet at BLD on admiralty way, lunch is on me!

Na me u see although I have shaved the beard. I am in Imo. Can we meet mid way now? Say at Oba market Benin.

fyneguy:
Trash!

Professor Adewole was Baba Akande's nominee with the backing of Tinubu. Tinubu also nominated the SGF Babachir Lawal. He has the FIRS Chairman - Tunde Fowler. Abike Dabiri and the former deputy gov are his loyalists, among others. Only a fool will take this piece seriously!

Don't attack. Disprove him with ur own write. All he said are things we have always known in parts or in full. Some people are missing the military regime although Buhari is doing his best.

There was no quarrel between the parties before the accident. A car is not a convenient instrument of murder because the victim of a car accident cannot be pre determined. No one drives off just to
cause accident There are cheaper and surer ways. Last of all, the great number of years between then nd now.

The grouse of the family may be with the paltry fine of 100k paid by the accused. If so their quarrel should really be with the courts and JSC can help.
If their quarrel is survivor s life then they are about killing an actress for being an actress.
The death of the doctor is unfortunate but should have been overcome over the years.
The parties should dialogue over this. Abum Nwafor Imo.

I jus hope soldiers won't retaliate by killing dozens of innocent civilians ooo.
will advice ppl of dat area especially the particular place whre the soldiers were attacked to completely stay indoor ooo

Staying indoors is not enough. I suggest they move away. An angered military is uncontrollable. If they find no one outside to vent their anger, they may begin to storm the houses. Remember Oddi and Zaki Biam. We don't want a repeat. God save your people.

He was a multi talent, an enigma and the last wonder of the world of modern science. Which scientist of 20th century did he not influence or inspire? He lived and functioned in the grey zone between science, philosophy and arts and perhaps that was what made him exceptional. Do you observe he had great power of communication and expression - something he shares with Steve Hawkins? Unlike most professors of science of today.

See Marginalization.
CBN recruited 909 staffs , of this number:

Zamfara got only 2 ,

Yobe and Jigawa got 3 each. Now NW the most populated zone in Nigeria plus NE combined got 184 slots. Both NW and NE has 13 states.


South South (SS) got 213 slots , Delta state 78 slots, Cross Rivers 36 slots, See Marginalization.

NW+NE= 13 STATES

SS= 6 STATES
NW+NE=184 SLOTS SS= 213 SLOTS

Yet no body is shouting from the North.

God bless Nigeria and Nigerians.

South East marginalized as usual.

Maintain this look. Change your name in order to depart from the past. 're engineer yourself.

I have been following the "developing" story of the feud among the Okoye singing and dancing twins, P-Square, and their older brother Jude, but not with keen interest. The reason is because musicians (performing artistes, generally) by their nature, are given to squabbles, which are, sometimes, orchestrated to attract attention. Of course, many of the fights are real and often lead to splits, legal actions and even deaths, in extreme cases. Needless recounting some of them as we have a surfeit of such well-known fights locally and internationally.

So, why am I on about the P-Square fight, which, according to latest news, has led to the split of the twins? Among the reasons being adduced for their disagreement and eventual split is the role of the women in their lives. Interestingly, I know Lola, Peter's wife, having worked with her in V-mobile, now Airtel. Even so, I cannot say what her role has been in the whole saga and I don't want to personalize the issues, but I want to dismiss the insinuation that the bickering among the erstwhile "tight" is a result of the influence of their wives.

Let me start by saying that a family means man, wife (wives) and children. Any other person, including siblings, parents, cousins, aunties, uncles, nephews and nieces are part of the extended family. The moment a man marries, the definition of "family" must change otherwise there will be trouble. Let me put it on record immediately that I am NOT advocating total abandonment of the extended family, but that must come only after the immediate family. So, if you, a man, used to consult your mom or dad or brother or sister or uncle or auntie before taking a decision, your wife becomes your primary source of advice as soon as you get married. This is a reality most young men do not face until they start facing problems.

According to the Holy Bible in Mathew 19:46. Jesus said: "Have you not read that He who created them from the beginning MADE THEM MALE AND FEMALE. FOR THIS REASON A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER AND BE JOINED TO HIS WIFE, AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH '? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate."

Under normal circumstances, this quote wouldn't require any explanation or interpretation but the extended family system practiced in Africa, especially in Nigeria and particularly the kind we have in the South East, has tended to undermine this crucial Biblical injunction. And this is one reason some people, in hasty generalization, have concluded that the Okoyes are being manipulated by their wives and as such have lost the "anointing" of carrying on together.

Now, much as I do not have any evidence to the contrary, I wager that the men rather than their wives are architects of their current conditions. Primary among my reasons for saying so is that if indeed their feud is engineered by their wives or one of the wives, then they have failed in managing their wives. Any man who cannot control his wife's excesses and vice versa is not serious.

Secondly, any brother who doesn't recognize his brother's wife and her important place in his life is foolish. Thirdly, any brothers who do not pre-empt the influence of their wives even before they marry and plan for such an eventuality are not wise. Fourthly, how much acculturation do men give their wives when they are bringing them into a strongly-knit family, if there's anything so called. Fifthly, and this is for those who erroneously believe that because they are twins, Peter and Paul are not supposed to fight, the fact of blood relationship doesn't obliterate the fact of individual differences.

The last point is at the core of my submission. As siblings grow and acquire experience (socialization) they begin to manifest their differences. Even identical twins. Even Siamese twins! This is even more so when they get married and form their own families and begin to deal with other dynamics of life and living. So, as we say in Mbaise, if the music changes, the dance steps must also change. If you used to barge into your brother's bedroom before, you must knock and wait to be admitted, after he gets married. It could be as simple as that!

Unfortunately, most guys prefer to play the ostrich with regards to their change in status and especially with regard the consequences-until trouble starts. And even when trouble does start, they pretend there's no trouble and avoid confronting it until it snowballs into a crisis, like we are currently witnessing with P-Square. Perhaps, a stitch in time could have saved nine.

So, I posit that the importance attached to extended families is exaggerated. While it is not a bad idea in the strict sense of the word, it has the potential to cause rifts, divisions and wars. By the way, who hasn't heard about sibling rivalry? In most cases, it starts even without spouses-as kids and teenagers. It's just there. Vicious, at times. Unforgiving. Never-ending. And as soon as the spouses arrive, they are so easily and unjustifiably made into scapegoats.

Gentlemen, while I urge prayers and wish divine intervention in the sustainable existence of family ties, a lot depends on the man to protect his wife and at the same time safeguard the cohesion of the extended family. In the face of a choice, I'd rather keep my wife and children (my immediate family) than hang self-destructively on the other one.

So, in the case of Peter and Paul Okoye, if they have to split to make progress and avoid uglier consequences, let them split. After all, one mother can birth but not one god (chi) creates. It might as well be that the individual differences which Peter and Paul have successfully masked over the years can no longer be hidden. Let's not rush to blame the wives, if we don't have compelling evidence other than our African tendency to blame the women for every family feud.

By the way, I can't verify an insider gossip that this imbroglio has nothing to do with the women, but mostly with one of the twins, who's a lavish spender and more extroverted. Jude being the older brother and Manager, of course, wanted to control him but Peter won't have it and wanted him fired. Paul won't have that, and so they came to this sorry pass.

NB: Notice that I kept using man and wife. That is because I am strongly of the view and inclination that marriage is (and has to be) between a man and a woman, male and female-as God ordained it. However, I'm pro-choice, which means, I won't bother with any choices you have decided to make in the matter, so long as they do not affect me directly. Even my male dogs know so.
