Anybody noticed that all Rivers state sounding names commented in favour of Wike while those who made negative comments bear either Yoruba or Hausa names.

Yea! I saw it too.

Fynestboi:
Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, on Friday announced that his administration had earmarked over N1bn for the renovation and supply of furniture and education materials across all secondary schools in the state.

The statement said that the state government would also employ 1,300 teachers to teach in primary schools in the state.

This is a good one coming from the Lagos State Government. It is a good one because renovating schools and providing furniture and education materials, by and large, will improve student's learning. Kudos that more teachers are also going to be recruited into the State's schools.

However, there's this concept, school climate, which I want the Government to look into. It is an an evidence-­based strategy that supports students, school personnel, parents/guardians and community members learning and working together to promote pro-­social education.

Done well, these efforts will result in even safer, more supportive, engaging, helpfully challenging and harmonious schools.

A positive school climate, just like the State Government is trying to provide, improves student achievement and gives them a sense of belonging. Government's present efforts are part of the important factors in a positive school climate which are significant mediators of learning: empowerment, authentic, engagement, self-efficacy, and motivation. It is a strategy that will pay off, long term, for the youth, faculty and schools, with stronger student achievement within a productive and safe learning environment, with a good return on investment of both human and financial resources.

It's like you did not get the message. I say make you thank God if your life still fit compare to Buhari by the time wey you turn 70 years old. If them never damn you to huna village, dey walk with stick.

It took only the killing of Mohammed Yusuf to give birth to the monster called Abubakar Shekau.
Remember the problem in the north east and if another in the south east and south south and Nigeria is gone.

For nnamdi to just walk into lagos knowing very well that he will be arrested i small rat(There might be international backing)
Buhari is not wise Nnamdi knows what he is doing and the FG is really playing to his gallery. Now he is one of the most famous
personality in the entire world.

And who will be the worst for it, Nigeria...? You no get sense.

You prefer that your people should be slaughtered day/night like BH is doing in the NE simply because you want to actualize one nonsense dream. You no get sense.

kettykin:
So a 42 year old man is now the prime minister and head of government of one of the biggest economies in the world while some fraudsters with their change gimmicks has fooled Nigerians into electing a 70 year old ex military personnel to be their president .

Pray your brain and bones to still be functioning like that of Buhari by the time you are 70. Me doubt that anyway, because of the life style you are living now. Eeediot

ArodeTsolaye:
The zoo called Nigeria is a damned damnation. An irredeemable cesspit, I won't be surprised if the same gowon shamelessly comes out to contest for presidency in 2023. The zoo is cursed and must disintegrate for its occupiers to survive and progress.

It does not have to. You can take a hike to where ever, you are free.

chukwudi44:
“I think in this country that is just recovering from a most divisive and bitter fought presidential election in its history; in a country where vicious civil war had been fought and scars are fresh; in a country where a presidential election, believed to have been won by (someone from) a part of the country was annulled; in a country which has deteriorated from one that citizens held high political and civil service offices outside their places of origin to one in which they hardly do so any more; and indeed in a country where there has been consistent outbreaks of militancy and restiveness by people who believe they have been shortchanged, maltreated, and, therefore, better off outside the Nigerian commonwealth, I firmly believe from the depth of my heart and conscience that you do not even need a soothsayer or compulsion of the constitution to know that you must necessarily carry every part of the country along.”

It is this our so called leaders that are always fanning the emblem of discord, and we, gullible Nigerians, are the ones giving them the fertile ground for their stupidity to thrive on.

I don't want to believe Mr Deputy Sen. President is talking about the June 12 election. Otherwise, I would say his stupidity, as an elder statesman in his own right, is raise to power 100.

If you are a student of power, you will agree with me that he's only trying to play on our emotions and intelligence with his reference to the annulled election, and even the civil war. Nigeria has moved on.

My name is Eze joseph timipre. I am from umusia afam OYIGBO LGA of rivers state(highest oil producing LGA and home of AFAM power plant). Why timipre(well my mum is okrika-ijaw from ogu in ogu-bolu LGA of rivers state. I am not speaking for the entire Niger Delta.1st nigeria boundry are purely political and never ethnic,the demacation between SE and SS are just concrete slabs,travellers coming to port harcourt from aba wil appreciate my argurment. Surprisingley aba is the closest major city to port harcourt both geographically and in proximity(not yenegoa,uyo or warri). What is ikwerre? Ikwerre is clan with closely bt not the same dialect (just like ngwa),with four lga: PHALGA,obio/akpor,emulga and ikwerre Lga. Ikwere is not homogenous and no one come to dis forum claiming to represent it,a 15mins drive from imo state polythecn along oweri-PH road wil lead u to elele in ikwerre LGA. I am igbo,and if nigeria disintergrate I wil wanna join biafra with my kith and kins from rivers state,their is no hatred between the real rivers indigene and SE people...infact after pigdin igbo is the secoond spoken langauge in PH and SE-igbos own many businesses in PH...SS-igbo and SE-igbo are one. I am a proud igbo man,a proud rivers-man,proud of my riverine linage and a proud nigerian Long live ndigbo. Long live wakrike(okrika nation).

What a contradiction...? Full of rubbish spelling errors.
Ode!

Movic1:
Arrogant Eze in his SUV with plate number Eze Ndigo 1. The Deji is not against Eze, He said if the igbos want Eze they should send another name to him.
I have remove this current Eze,he shouldnt wear beads or crown within Akure,if he's out of Akure or his Village he can put on beads and crown,the igbos should send another name that will serve as chairman of the igbos. Deji of Akure

You seem to get it right.

InsaneTamie:
In as much as I agree with your second view, my take on your first opinion is different. You see, the local press can not drill the President like Mehdi did. They will want to tread softly to prevent later punishment the Executive give out. Mehdi was not rude, I've seen his other interviews and that's just the usual him. It is our President that is too timid.

Do you call a President timid simply because he called his interviewer to order? Do you cut-in while the President of a sovereign state like Nigeria is speaking? Do you allow your interviewer to overwhelm you, as a President and a former Army General? Is it not within your right to ask him to allow you make your point so that you're not quoted out of context and spending more and more energy trying to clarify what you said earlier? Is that what you call 'timid'? Aren't you glad you have a President who refuse to be intimidated by an ordinary journalist, unlike before? Do you expect PMB to lower his guard so that that small boy can push words into his mouth?

atbu1983:
Op ur analysis is completely off point.
I just finish watching and listening to d interview.
president Buhari did very well.
i will score him 71%.

He answered all d questions smartly.

On Bokoharam, he said he believe with d raining season they will be able to downgrade bokoharam greatly. Though he cannot assure dat suicide bombing will stop, but he is sure bokoharam cant take territories by d end of december.

on chibok girls he said he will negotiate as long as d girls are well and alive.

On sharia law, he said he cannot change nigeria constitution to make sharia law a national law.

On d issue of his dictorship in d 80s, he said he will apologize for any proven wrong doing. That he is president today because many nigerians approve of his leadership in d 80s.

So op, what were u looking for that u didnt see?

Honestly, I just wonder how some people's response get liked on this forum. As a Buhari supporter, there was already goose pimples all over me before I went through the video interview only to find all their rubbish claim to be false.

As a matter of fact, I thought PMB will 'fall my hand' when he was asked about the Sharia law, I mean the stoning of women and cutting of hand, and I think he answered that question perfectly well like any other person in a country like Nigeria will do.

Now, I know that some people on this platform are truly wailers, wailing for nothing.

You know, I thought I was going to see something horrible about the President, only for me to watch the video twice and ... In fact, I will score him 75%, that's an A I suppose.

theV0ice:


GEJ should have asked what role Edwin Clark played when he was kept as a plaything of Turai. The answer would have helped him know who his friends were. Clark only surfaced when it was time to chop and he arrogated to himself the tag "father of the president".

To even imagine that this baba threatened fire and brimstone if GEJ failed at the polls. But I don't blame him....GEJ was there for the taking.

Somebody that could make FFK his spokesman after all he regaled Nigerians with about GEJ deserves to be deceived I guess.

GEJ was too naive and 'nice' for his own good. He's not a politician, even Alamieseigha described him as unambitious. He was an accident on our political scene.

I wish him the best in his retirement.

The bold part gat me thinking, and it was at that point I actually concluded that we have a ... as a President.

May the LORD never allow the likes of the past administration to rule over this country again.

God willing, I will be keeping some of these events to serve as a lesson for my five months old son- that it is not everyone that sings your praise when you are in position of authority that truly loves you, in fact, they are your greatest enemy.

IykeChukz:
Everything were in place before he died, even tomb...

Forgetting that majority of people of his own state have no roof over their heads...


I think the grave cannot be more than six feet.


At lease, much equal to a poor man's grave..

You can't be sure about the bold part. Even though there's a rule that says tombs shouldn't be more than six feet, it is not as if you can't do as you wish, you know, defying the order.

I have a read in a book, "Where There's A Will", where the deceased wrote in her Will that she should be buried at the back of her Cardilac, in her wedding gown with a very expensive Champagne. So, you can imagine how the grave that will contain a Cardilac will be like.

I even read, in the said book, that after she was buried, they had to dug her up again because someone reminded them that they didn't include her driver's license.

This was her wish, and it was carried out to the later. Otherwise, those left behind will not benefit from her estate.

Arise O' Sleeping Youth of Nigeria!!!

Awolowo was (37), Akintola (36), Ahmadu Bello(36), Effiong (36), Balewa (34) and Okotie-Eboh(27), Enahoro (27)
led the struggle for independence after the death of Macaulay. Only Zik was 42 at the time.

In 1966, the first coup was led by: Kaduna Nzeogwu (29) and countered by Murtala Mohammed (28), Theophilus Danjuma (28),Babangida (25), Nanven Garba (23), Sani Abacha(23), Shehu Musa Yaradua (23), and brought into power Gowon (32), Ojukwu (33), Obasanjo (29),Buhari (24).

Most of the military administrators who governed the states under the successive military regimes, most of whom are governors now, were under 30years.
The brief democratic dispensation which interjected the military interregnums also saw the house of Representatives in particular populated by majority of members under 30 years as well as some senators.

Under 30s were also not in short supply with appointments, we have examples of MT Mbu who became foreign affairs minister at 23 and Pat Utomi who became a presidential adviser at 27 and so on and so forth.

NOW:

Why is it that this age bracket is today still sleeping in 3 seater chairs in their parents’ homes?

Why is it that this age bracket is today still collecting pocket money from their parents?

Why is it that this age bracket is today still writing jamb?

Why is it that this age bracket is today still sagging their trousers?

Why is it that this age bracket is today still searching for jobs?

Why is it that this age bracket is today no longer qualified to even be leaders of youth wings of political parties?

Why is it that this age bracket is today so docile?

Why is it that this age bracket is today still incapable of feeding itself?

Why is it that this age bracket is today barred by law from even aspiring to certain political offices?

Why is it that this age bracket is today incapacitated, unwilling, unable and incapable of asking questions?

why? why?? why??

Simple, because they are still busy shouting "Up Chelsea" every where.

On a more serious note, the value system as at then is quite different from the value system of today's youths. In addition, you can't take away the effect of acculturation- everyone just want to make money through whatever means, and not about national development. Just make it! Forget how.

alexlee50:
u know the funny thing about life, people choose to remember what they like and forget whatever they don't like.who told u Jonathan did not save? Did he not leave 30b dollars when he was going? Do u know it would have been more? If not for these greedy governors that clamoured that they should share the money.do u remember sovereign wealth fund? Do u remember some governors went round and said it was not constitutional?do u know why the states were in debts despite the huge money the FG released to them? Because they embarked on useless projects which were over inflated and were not of economic importance to people of their states.for instance jigawa is building an airport, tell me what jigawa needs an airport when it is less than 1hr to kano? Why does osun need a chopper to fly aregbe around? Despite the huge money collected by oshoimole he couldn't do more than airport road in benin.this is the case of most of the governors. Do u know that this bail out funds some used it to buy vehicles for security personel as in the case of adamawa and yobe? Do u know that the FG releases enough to cover recurrent expenditure and that we shoild not have found ourselves in this position in the first place? When Jonathan left behindd 30b dollars. The reason j.p Morgan and Barclays are suspending sales in our bonds is because of lack of economic policy.This man has been ruling this country alone since may 29th without any policy on economy, health, education, please is this right? Investors are scared and pulling out funds from the economy on daily basis, inemployment is rising and you are blaming Jonathan? Wake up, if u see bad thing condemn am.

see all these arm chair economist...

Well, I heard the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, in an interview, saying the country can not change its policy simply because of an index. That's not going to be possible, and I agree with him on that. If you guys know the conditions these modern slave trade people are giving the country, you will ask them to go to hell.

By the way, bond this, bond that, they are not the real investors in an economy! They are what they are truly called- Port Folio Investors, Port Folio.

Do you know what a portfolio is...? That is, you bring your investment in a portfolio and you also leave with your profit in your port folio at the slightest provocation. Though, you may argue that they provide the finance for the real investors, fine, but then, they are what they are- Port folio, just like port folio contractors.

In any case, I still think the country should not be hounded into taking hasty economic decision simply because we are being shoved off some lousy index- No!

...and I lost appertite the moment I read this your comment, particularly at the bold part. So, this is what you children of hate wish for the country?

So, your common sense did not tell you that when governments fail, it is the citizens that surfers it. I pity you, olori buruku omo!

EdCure:
The events of 9/11 was what gave the Iraq war a favourable Amrican public opinion that Bush/Sheney could not resist.
Obama mismanaged the war by pulling out too early. His support for opposition against Syria's Assad is what led to the creation and bolstering of the dreaded ISIS.
Sometimes i wonder how a naiive community organizer with no experience in governance and no foreign policy credentials other than being a "superstar" could be made president of a strategic country like the US.

But that event was wrong in itself. It was a smoke screen, you know. Wouldn't know the truth or otherwise of the story but several reports and documentary have shown that the 9/11 attack was a covert operation by the American to enter Iraq. As a matter of fact, video footage that I have watched online showed that the WTC building was already charged with dynamites before the attack.

The bold part of your comment actually caught my attention and gat me thinking- in fact- pondering. In as much as I tried to disagree with that part, something in me kicks that I should not deny an obvious truth.

BALLOSKI:
if you read about how Cheney grew influence via romsfed, you'd agree that Cheney is indeed the most powerful VP the world produced. Cheney grew from rank to rank, so it was easy for him to manipulate things around government. He practically called the shot.


Don't mind those kids and Americans wannabe, most of them don't even know who Cheney is not to even think of knowing what he said in 1994.

Talking about the bold part of your comment, agreed, but then I submit, though stand to be corrected, the invasion of Iraq in 2003, was for selfish reasons. Even though the original article stated otherwise, one still wonders why their claim for invading Iraq in the first place has not been backed up by evidence all this while. Cheney left more to be desired bro! These people have evil minds.

I would like to follow this thread, and it is simply to see the number of our so called youths that will make meaningful comments. In fact, I'll be disappointed if they actually do make any comment at all, meaningful or not, since this isn't a thread to throw tantrums at one another about how bad our politicians are.

I guess they can even hardly be patient to read the whole lot talk less of understanding it.

By the way, most of this online noise makers were hardly around when the event being described here took place, so they can't really relate with it- particularly the US-Iraq war of 1994. I was in SSS1 then, and was well alive to what was going on around me. But I most confess that I never heard about Cheney way back then in 1994, not until 2003.

omostar:
When the U.N. was established, its founders did not in the least think that there would always be unanimity. The mission of the organization is to seek and reach compromises, and its strength comes from taking different views and opinions into consideration. Decisions debated within the U.N. are either taken as resolutions or not. As diplomats say, they either pass or do not pass.


Whatever actions any state might take bypassing this procedure are illegitimate. They run counter to the charter and defy international law. We all know that after the end of the Cold War — everyone is aware of that — a single center of domination emerged in the world, and then those who found themselves at the top of the pyramid were tempted to think that if they were strong and exceptional, they knew better and they did not have to reckon with the U.N., which, instead of [acting to] automatically authorize and legitimize the necessary decisions, often creates obstacles or, in other words, stands in the way.

We would get a world dominated by selfishness rather than collective work, a world increasingly characterized by dictate rather than equality. There would be less of a chain of democracy and freedom, and that would be a world where true independent states would be replaced by an ever-growing number of de facto protectorates and externally controlled territories.

There are quite a lot of quotes I want to highlight but for time because I'm about leaving the office.

I believe Mr. Putting was actrually throwing most of the jabs at the United State.

Nice gesture.

I bet this lady has never torched 2million naira untill she got to the Edo State Government House. She now has a lot of millions to be thrown around in the name of helping the poor that their husbands contributed into creating in the first place. Nigeria- the more you look, the less you see.
