naijababe: Scandal has become scandalous! We'll see what they come up with in S4

What else will come up apart from Liv screwing the woman wrapper of a president in different positions? And she fixing all the problems apart from the middle east problem?

“Was that another goal, or just the replay?”, the man sitting next to me asked.

obayaya: Lemme give you one expo!!!

Rivers state has 2 major grassroot politicians of note. Nyesom Wike and Tonye Princewill.

Take that to the bank.

Tony Princewill is an Internet politician. Take that to the bank.

iceberylin: BRO U JUst nailed it..Phenom was like "i Gat a Chick CV for a BL0w job"i just drop cap for the dude.
Young6 is even better. cause that export lyrics was really incredible...
he was like "i was made for this sh|t,u can call me diper" coll huh
phenom really need to be recognized, cause he's always representing... unlike ice..
i listened to TEARS FOR NAIJA
had to check if it was really done by iceprince...
WtF...dude was like.."if na ur sister i bomb, how u go feel..i for don follow the battalion "cant recall the exact words buh it was so wack compared to
Ashes by Mi abaga..

I am not a hip hop head but I feel ashamed each time I listen to Ice prince. The mediocrity is shameful.

Djicemob: So u r saying music is now like a gateway shortcut to riches right? This,my good friend,is the problem.And this is why upcoming artistes fail even before starting. *Weeping* for nigerian music future.

Guy,it is a source of livelihood for these guys. Let us not me too romantic about it. It is like asking Messi to play for free with Barcelona or come and play for Enugu Rangers all for the love of the game.

Djicemob: Conclusively, I doff my hat to these real hiphop artistes who never gave in to the commercial stereotype-craze in the industry today.To me,it all boils down to LOVE and PASSION for the art(which is the real essence of listening and making music) and not the money.Thanks to these "real artistes" for keeping rapheads like me glued to nigerian music.

I am assuming you have an alternative source of income for them?
When we spout all this love and passion c.rap, we need to balance it with reality. It is fine doing this in late teenage and early twenties when you are still young and do not have responsibilities but when you are a grown man,you need to find a way to make the love and passion pay your bills. Unless you have another job and doing music by the side.
However, I still believe you can still do real hip hop and make it commercially successful. While the listeners are lazy,I also think the artistes are lazy too.

obayaya: Gbam!!!

The biggest gainer

You are a learner.
tony Princewill is a learner. He is just wasting hus own time and money. Facebook politician.

when I see a Pharmacist address him or herself as Pharm. xxxxx, i immediately lose respect for the person. It is infantile and childish.

AjanleKoko: With players on offer now, this is how I would line them up:

Direct Formation(4-2-3-1)

Bravo/Ter Stegen/Masip

Alves Bartra Pique Alba


Sergio Mascherano



Deulofeu/Messi James Iniesta


Suarez/Neymar



Tiki-Taka Formation(4-3-1(0)-2(3))

Bravo/Ter Stegen/Masip

Alves Bartra Pique Alba


Sergio Iniesta


James


Messi


Suarez Neymar



In the first lineup, James plays in the center as a trequartista, in front of the 2 defensive midfielders. Messi or Deulofeu on the right, Iniesta on the left. You keep the midfield triangle of yore, with James now in the mix. James now becomes more of the playmaker, and can be either defensive or offensive depending on the situations. Messi is always offensive, and Iniesta is supporting James to keep ball in the middle.
Suarez plays as the top 9. No Neymar here, he doesn't combine well with Iniesta and as such would not be of more use on the flank. I would replace Suarez with him in the course of the game.

In the second lineup, which is more traditional Barca, James plays as a fantasista (note the difference; he creates rather than controls). But he still sits in front of the fullbacks. and leaves the hole to Messi. The only difference here is I would not camp Suarez and Neymar on the flanks, I would use them to occupy the space between fullbacks and center-backs. Note here that, as per traditional Barca system, one of the fullbacks will push higher than the other, and Sergio will need to cover that gap. But James sits in the center and sets up plays towards either Suarez or Neymar, drawing opposing defenders to the flanks, and creating space for Messi. At any given time, there will be 2 players occupying the center backs, so there will likely be room for Messi to make his runs, and there will always be a spare man (Iniesta) for him if the opponents put a man on him.

QED

emeka94: Most stupid resolution the confab has made second only to the incredulous idea of rotation of presidency. Are these people blind or just plain selfish and greedy. Resources is scarce and corruption is thriving more than oil yet you still want to create more states. USA that's as large as what I don't know has only 50 states. By the way Nigerian govt claim to be copying America's style of federal governance. Creation of addition states will only make the center stronger, the states lazier, fragmentation of Nigeria and break up of ethnic groups and families. Of what is the reason behind dis creation of states?!! I can only see selfish reasons and selfish reason and selfish reasons. If 36 isn't working how will 54 work? Give LGAs autonomy, reduce the powers of federal and state govt and create city councils not states. please!!!. City councils will ensure the participation of ordinary men in governance, men that I can see and touch not governors that drive up and down in latest SUVs causing accidents and traffic jam. Tufiakwa. God save Nigeria from this old men and women.

The entire confab is a total waste of time,just like some of is predicted. They should just share their allocation in peace and go away.

amacastel: Thank u jare tell them u forgot ajao estate, ojo alaba, iyana ejigbo infact across mile 2 all state road there are in deplorable condition Obj was president 4 8 good yrs nothing was done on that road yaradua for 2yrs no show na now hypocrite talk pls make una leave dis man (president)alone. Nigeria is scattered b4 he came in he is trying to put things in order gradually HE IS NOT A MAGICIAN una wan kill GEJ?
As for his wife na her God wey don bless her u haters have no choice rather hugging transformer . Fashola built ajah _lekki rd and collect toll gate ba he should build that 1 too afterall the money they make in the port lagos state govt follow they chop am or beta still repair the rd and ask fed govt to refund him later like his fellow APC member Sen Chris NGIGE did in anambra when he was the governor

So because Nigeria was scattered before,he has earned a right to scatter it more? The way some of you reason,I wonder if God allows you life to be run the way these clueless and docile clowns run this country,if you will be happy?

[quote author=wise_many2k]I ain't sympathetic to any political party but we should stop politicising everything. Why single out only 1 section? Please show pictures of the same stretch of road under construction from Mile 2 to cele b/stop.

Yes, it is true that the federal govt took a long time before taking action on that road but they have started work already...

So my ppl, be patient and allow government do their work.

[size=18pt]@OP and everyone viewing this thread, if u know you haven't urinated on that road, spewed out saliva or catarrh on that road, or threw satchet of water, biscuit, gala etc & empty bottle of lacasera, coke, or water on that road, then cast the 1st stone on the federal govt.[/size] We all (Lagosians) are guilty in 1 way or the order for the deplorable state of that road[/quote]I wonder who the clowns liking this comment are?
On the basis of your conditions,I am qualified to throw a mighty rock not just the first stone at the Fg.
The state of that road is an utter indictment of the FG. Why should the mile 2 axis be shown? How many years did it take the govt to begin that repair? Have you seen the pace of work? That apapa -oshodi expressway is proof of a failed state.
Have you seen the hold up in front of Fatgbems that. Stretches to Apple junction by 5.30am? The federal govt is utterly useless and allowing that road deteriorate to that point is an impeachable offence in saner climes. Don't give me that crap about the road being ignored for decades,if GEJ had a functioning brain cell,he would have begun rehabilitation on that road a week after he was sworn in. It is that vital.

As for the APC hypocrites,the Orile road is enough reason to lock up BRF for life. That road is a stain on all his good works. A road that the drainage was blocked before the road was open for use? A road that we do not even know when it was completed because it has been in one state of disrepair or the other in the last 5 years. Have you seen the traffic on Orile road recently?
Since Lagosians have decided to use poverty as an excuse for being as dirty as pigs,why not treat them like the animals they are? Flog some sanity into the people street trading along the Orile length of Orile road? Those pigs are too dirty and filth generating to be called humans.

Jobberman have soiled their growing reputation by realising this list.

I thought the jerry curl on his own was natural?
How come his hair looks Nigerian in this pic?

Hype and media savvy are integral parts of governance and politics in the 21st century,so I do not blame fashola completely.
However, I do agree that BRF has done well but not as well as needed. The sheer population and location of Lagos in the scheme of the country's economy makes it foolish to compare it to other states. On the issue of waste disposal,I think the govt has been a colossal failure and the people themselves an even bigger failure. For all its sophistication, the govt has been unable to tackle the menace of refuse and waste,yet they talk about mega city.
The issue of roads highlight the paucity of funds available to the lasg and how a special intervention is needed if progress must be made. Even the blind can tell that roads are being fixed and new ones built but the supply is severely overwhelmed by the need and demand.

Chairman, Board of Industrial Training Fund and Nigeria’s former High Commissioner to Ghana, Senator Musiliu Olatunde Obanikoro, held a session with select journalists at the weekend, where he shed light on some of the pertinent issues in the country. Olawale Olaleye was there. Excerpts:

Many would have hedged a bet that you’d contest the 2011 governorship election in Lagos State. Why did you opt out?

I was on a national assignment at the time in 2011. I was the country’s representative (High Commissioner) in Ghana. There was no way I could abandon the responsibilities given to me by the federal government and come home only to be chasing a political office. Now that I am home, I am strongly reflecting on the last 15 years of Tinubu and the present administration in our state. I will not sit down here and tell you that we don’t have few things to celebrate in the state but, by and large, there are still many holes to fill up and I can honestly tell you that as a citizen of Lagos State, the overall decision I will take in terms of performance of Lagos government in the last 15 years, for me, is slightly below average.

Don’t you think many people will differ on your assessment?

People may be saying they have done some new roads; that they have done this, they have done that. One, we must look at the costs of these roads and then, a state that its debt profile is about N1trillion as we speak today. I schooled in the USA, the biggest investment that country made that is still working for them and it is in education. We have not done such in Lagos State despite all the noise they have been making. As we speak today, people of Lagos are not interested and they will not voluntarily send their children to public school in the state.


That to me is failure on the part of the government after 15 years in the saddle. People are interested in sending their wards to private schools. Some people who could not even afford the private schools always strived to ensure their children attend private schools. Public schools in the state are not functional in the true sense of imparting knowledge in our children. So, how one governor can just stand up and beat his chest that he has performed still marvels me.

Today, our hospitals in the state are mere consulting centers. Even the consultation is minimal in the true sense of it. Everybody that is somebody now goes overseas for ordinary medical check-up. Even the governor himself, I do believe without any iota of doubt, does his medical check-up abroad. Their leader and ex-governor of the state had a medical challenge recently. He had knee injury and he was flown abroad to take care of ordinary knee injury. This minor health challenge could not be treated at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) after billions of naira they claimed they have sunk to upgrade the facility. In the area of health, Lagos government has equally failed.

Today, Lagos State does not have the required capacity to handle emergency situation. And you know how much this state generated monthly as internal revenue? They are still struggling in the area of refuse management. Looking at the Olusosun dumpsite at Ojota and the level of pollution that is injected in the atmosphere on daily basis says a lot about the state government that has been in power since 1999. Where have you seen such a big dumpsite operating in a metropolis anywhere in the world? They did not only dump refuse at Olusosun but they burn refuse there every day and the dumpsite was surrounded by residential communities.

In addition to that high grade of environmental pollution in the middle of the state capital, there are various kinds of reckless reclamation going on in the state right now. After the reclamation, what they often do is to sell the land to themselves and their cronies. Whereas, during the time of Alhaji Lateef Jakande, he did reclamation in Lekki and the land was sold to members of the public. Except for the reclamation at the Atlantic City, there is another reclamation that is going on secretly without the knowledge of the people. The one going on right now in Ikoyi is being done quietly and secretly so that members of the public don’t know much about it. As I am speaking to you now, the level of industrial pollution in the state is at alarming proportion. There is serious environmental degradation in the state and nobody is saying anything about it. These are serious issues that will affect resident’s life span and nobody is talking. Honestly, I don’t know what this government is celebrating every 100 days.

I was one of the beneficiaries of Alhaji Lateef Jakande’s Housing policy. In 15 years now, the Lagos State government has not built one house for medium income earners not to talk of the low income earners. Go and check the cost of the houses they said they built for the people. How many workers can afford to buy those houses? Go and investigate the cost of renovated markets at Yaba, Oshodi and others, you will understand if the government in the state since 1999 is for the masses or the elite. There are basic needs of life and housing ranks very high among those basic needs. Those basic needs for a stable society is lacking in Lagos under the government that has been in power for 15 years running. That to me needs urgent change.

You were once in the system for about six years. At what point did you discover these things about the Lagos government?

One of the reasons I left the AD was when my eyes were opened and I saw the character that was leading us at the time. I am not a member of ACN; I had left before they formed their ACN. With the benefit of hindsight, I did a right thing by pulling out of AD. There was no internal democracy in AD in those days and they carried this style to ACN. You can recall that in ACN and other parties that now referred to themselves as ‘progressives’, they don’t do primaries. What they usually do is anoint candidates. Their leader will just stand up and say this is the party’s candidate and his word is the final. It still happens till today and that is why they worship the so called leader.


I decided on my own to quit AD when I saw some of these shortcomings of the undisputed leader of the party. I saw naked abuse of opportunity as an insider and I felt that some of these things could not be defended anywhere. You all saw firsthand what happened when my son won the chairmanship election of Ikoyi-Obalende LCDA as a PDP candidate. The ACN under the guise of Lagos state government went to Appeal Court to go and impound the victory of that young man. That shows the type of people we are dealing with. That level of impunity shouldn’t exist in any society; such recklessness should not exist in any civilised society.
Somebody won an election that was free and fair and a judge sat somewhere and on technicality, said the person should not be sworn-in. To me, that was the height of which all well meaning individuals in the state ought to have risen up and spoken out because that was another June 12 that took place in Lagos- the annulment of the mandate of the people of Ikoyi-Obalende LCDA by the powers that be in the state.

Have you pondered the lack of unity in Lagos PDP?

Well, they are not united either. What you are seeing in their party as unity is peace of the graveyard. An honest member of their party will tell you all is not well in that party either. All what you see them do is make-believe. With time, you will also come to this conclusion. They will turn apart. In a system where a single person determines the councilor, the council Chairman as well as members of the national and State Assemblies including the governor, then you should know that the alleged peace in their party is that of the graveyard. Did you think the market women and men in the state are happy that the same man anointed his daughter to become leader of market women and men in the state? People like us cannot just stand by and allow all these to go unchallenged.

If you contested the Lagos governorship in 2007 and in 2013, you’re still reflecting on whether or not to contest in 2015, does it not show that you are not a serious contender?

No! You get it wrong. Let me tell you that I am eight years older than I was when I contested in 2007. A Yoruba proverb says agba o ki’n soro bi ewe. It means an elderly person doesn’t act like a child. I have focus. Don’t forget that I have also done other things since 2007. I’ve served my country meritoriously as an Ambassador. May be the diplomatic part of me is having a greater share of me this morning. I want to let people know that we in Lagos PDP are serious about 2015 and we have what it takes to dismantle this oppressive, insensitive and elitist government in Lagos State.

You spoke about corruption in Lagos State, what about the one at the federal level?

What is good about the federal level is that whatever the people of the country complained about, we don’t hide them nor put them in the closet. We are dealing with them; people are being arrested and put in jail. Tell me, how many local government chairmen or councilors have they tried for corruption or put behind bars since 1999 that they have been managing affairs of this state? There is a cesspool of corruption in Lagos state from any angle you may look at it.


I can tell you of so many local government chairmen in Lagos state that do not own a motorcycle when they were appointed into office but today, go and see the number of houses they have built and the type of cars they ride. That is not the kind of dividends of democracy people are clamouring for but a dividend that will ensure their children can attend school without any injury to their pocket; that water will run in their taps; that they will not suffer toiling all year round paying exorbitant house rents; that the environment will be clean and that they will not be dying so early as it is happening now. Sit down and think of the challenges confronting ordinary people in Lagos now, it is bigger than what people can think of.

But has the federal government done anything to assist the people and government of Lagos?

The federal government has done a lot to assist Lagos. For instance, our government at the centre ensures that the 3rd Mainland Bridge does not collapse. We have done that continuously in the last five years. Yar’Adua did it, Jonathan has done it. There is the expansion the federal government is doing along Apapa-Oshodi expressway to ensure access in and out of the harbor. There is also the massive renovation done at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja. The arrival and departure sections have been expanded. And the interesting thing about all these is that if you google the Ministry in-charge of these works to get how much was expended on each of the project, you will get them stated clearly. But that does not happen in Lagos here.

What about the current Stella Oduah scandal in the Aviation sector?

Oh yes! Accusation has been made in the open. Panels have been set up to look into the matter and the president has received the report. I am sure in good time; he would come out with a position. Be that as it may, nobody can sweep under the carpet what PDP had done to tackle corruption. Their party has not done anything. That is what we are saying. Everything they have accused us of doing, they are worse off. They accused Stella Odua of buying two armoured cars for N255 million. The one the Lagos state governor is riding up and down is more expensive than Oduah’s cars. He is a public officer too who draws his salary from tax payer’s money.


It is the same standard, it doesn’t matter. It is even more damning for the governor because he is elected by the people and he is supposed to uphold the trust and confidence of the people of Lagos. So, their own is even worse in that case but it is unfortunate the media refuse to look at that area. I am in the know of the cost but I am putting it to you to do the investigation on the cost of those two jeeps which our governor uses as official car.

iahmed: we are talking about married couples here OK!

where is it stated in the original post?
assumption is the mother of all F up.

amosade30: I was discusin wt sm of ma guys abt au to avoid pregnancy naturally when having sex without a condom aside using drugs (postinor 1 or 2.

I learnt that sooner or later, drugs have their side effects especially too much intake).

One said salt and water (for the gal immediately the guy arrives), another said withdrawal method (for the guy). Another said Alabukun or lime (for the girl).

you will avoid pregnancy but i doubt you can avoid STDs.
I hope you will enjoy your pregnacy-free but STDful life?

Central banks must be empowered to act. But they must act with responsibility and must act with responsibility and must remain fully accountable to the people. Price stability can no longer be the sole objective of a central bank as understood by the prevailing wisdom of the past. This is particularly true for emerging economies of Africa, Asia and Latin America. growth and employment also matter supremely. an independent and well-functioning central bank is a vital institution in a free society and a pillar for the flourishing of prosperous democracies.
As the American experience illustrates, successful central banks in the 21st century digital economy will have to be knowledge institutions at the cutting edge institutions at the cutting edge of best practices and professional competence. in our context, CBN would need to reinvent itself as a powerhouse of research, analysis and knowledge that feeds into more effective policy while providing better advice to government at state and federal levels. Like the Fed, we would need also need to take full account of regional economic realities and learn how to better calibrate monetary policies to reflect such diversity while expanding the possibility frontiers of welfare for all our people.
We need a CBN that is shorn of crippling immobility of the civil service and that is dynamic and forward-looking. The CBN that I know has some of the brightest economic minds anywhere in the Nigerian public service. Such talent must be nurtured as our most vital resource. The work environment has to be made more attractive in every respect. The apex institution must become a preferred employer attracting some of the best talent our country can offer.
Leadership remains the most crucial factor. Those who lead central banks must be thoughtful and sober-minded people. They must not be the types that are easily mesmerized by the glamour of power or would jump to offer opinions on any matter under the sun. They must also be deft enough to manage the politicians whose instincts rarely transcend the calculus of immediate gain. there is only one government. The central bank is an independent institution by virtue of delegated authority. But it remains part and parcel of government. those who lead must it must talk softly as behoves gentlemen;but they must carry a big stick, as the ancient African proverb enjoins.
To be effective and to fulfil their mandates, the central banks of the future and the present must be run by leaders of highest intellect and character; knowledgeable people who can themselves manage knowledge workers while earning their respect and trust -- creative thinkers who can act with courage and conviction while promoting the common good of all. the future of our country and life chances of millions of our people may well depend on it.

naijababe: This magun fixation don get as e be o. Besides, how is that a good birthday present? If anything, I should be the one lacing him with magun

babes no dey rush am now, so no need for him own.
Your own case is well documented herein.
It is a good present o. It shows you are a loyal wife. Loyal to the cause and willing to be protected from evil

naijababe: Thanks. The pm part better be true else I go show u and ur yoga say I be the real naijababe

Na true o!
I am discussing with him which babalawo to use for the Magun (I hear Ekiti babalawos come highly recommended).
A good wife like you deserves Magun as a birthday present.
You are a jewel of inestimable value and irreplaceable.
So he has to do the needful.

Sagamite: Who is the cretin to publicly challenge people individually for not giving him money?

Are you on drugs?

Dbanj owes him money?

Some of you think freedom of speech gives you a right to give moronic opinions?

Imagine the lad insulting us by calling us Danni fans?
Me,Dbanj fan? God forbid.

naijababe: ^ Oh dear! [size=4pt]covers face and runs[/size]

Madam, happy born day!
May your light never dim and your path never fade!
I just sent a PM to Oga, he will get you that earlier discussed item as a special birthday present.

Soso990240: hey,he didn't say he is angry with Dbanj for not giving him,why didn't Dbanj refute d claim by people dat he donated 7milla? Ur understanding is poor,so low.

Your own understanding is even poorer.
Why should dbanj refute a claim he never made?
Ojb is a confused man,no wonder he has three wives. No sane man does such.

naijababe: ^ Oh dear! [size=4pt]covers face and runs[/size]

You need that Magun for your own good.
I no trust these guys for NL. Their libido no dey respect that ring wey dey your fourth finger o!
Their thing no get conscience o!

I thank God that his treatment is going well. However,I actually think that in addition kidney failure,this man might be suffering from brain failure.
Is Dbanj Indebted to him on one form or the other?
Is dbanj the cause of his illness?
Why will this man not keep quiet and recuperate in peace?
What exactly is the purpose of this tactless interview?
Btw, we hear amaechi paid for the treatment,so when is he refunding those who truly contributed?
This guy needs to stop being a nuisance and not make the public hard hearted towards those who will genuinely Need help in future.
He has his three wives to help nurture him back to health. Some people do not even have one loved one to help them recuperate after I'll health.

Ola one: How dare you. Naijababe is a delectable lady. So delectable single/married guys on NL want to "get down low" with her. Even if it takes piling her with a lot of tipple. The fear of magun is not even enough to scare us. That's how highly sought after she is.

She's so pretty and beautiful guys have exhausted all their pick-up lines on her yet no *******. She's that stingy, if you know what I mean.

I actually do not know what you mean?
As a matter of fact, I go report you to her Oga. Because of people like you,her Oga go consider magun.
Una no dey use eye see fine and intelligent woman.
I was actually praising her sense of humour. It is very dry and wicked.
