My secondary school branded green, woven school bag, it was a new innovation then in the school.

I would have loved to keep it as souvenir.

Nigeria gradually turning into a multi countries entity.

How countries solve their problems: Between Nigeria and Malaysia

I count the Malaysians among the most reasonable and practical people on earth.

Why?

When they noticed that the Singaporeans were creating problems for them in the former Malaysia, on August 9, 1965 they convened the parliament and excluded the Singaporeans. (The State of Singapore was only one out of the 14 states in Malaysia then). The Malaysians knew they had the majority. The parliamentarians locked the doors of the parliament and tabled a motion: to expel State of Singapore from Malaysia.

Fiam! All the 126 parliamentarians voted in favour of the motion, and Singapore was expelled from the Malaysia.

One thing that had been the source of conflict between the two sides was what we call quota system in Nigeria. Malaysia wanted quota system for the Malays but Singapore wanted merit to be applied across board. There was no agreement between the two sides.

See this: "The Federal Government of Malaysia, dominated by the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO), was concerned that as long as Singapore remained in the Federation, the bumiputera policy of affirmative action for Malays and the indigenous population would be undermined and therefore run counter to its agenda of addressing economic disparities between racial groups."

Singapore was also not happy with the recognition of Islam as the official religion.

The 1964 race riots claimed lives and showed how divided the country was.

With the expulsion, the Singaporeans left Malaysia in sadness, becoming the only country in modern history to gain full independence against its will. Singapore was a tiny, resource-poor island.

However, they began to implement all those lofty ideals of merit, justice, national integration and zero-tolerance for segregation and religious extremism they had been preaching as well as adopting free-trade and business-friendly policies.

Expectedly, Singapore began to grow speedily. Today from being a third-world, tiny and poor country, Singapore is usually rated among the top 3 in the world in all human development indices.

Singapore has a population of 5.9 million. Because of how tiny Singapore is, it has been embarking on land reclamation to expand its land mass. The land mass of Singapore has grown to 728 square kilometres - about the same size as Lekki peninsula in Lagos State - compared to Malaysia with 329,613 square kilometres.

In Singapore, 18.7% are Christian, 14% are Muslim,11% are Taoist, 5% are Hindu, 0.6% practise Sikhism or another religion, while 17.5% of people have no religion at all.

So what happened to Malaysia? It has peace because it no longer has the "troublesome" Singaporeans to contend with. Malaysia has not risen to the height attained by Singapore, but it is not doing badly economically.

"Malaysia is a multicultural and multiconfessional country, whose official religion is Islam. As of the 2010 Population and Housing Census, 61.3 percent of the population practise Islam; 19.8 percent Buddhism; 9.2 percent Christianity; 6.3 percent Hinduism; and 3.4 percent traditional Chinese religions."

The population of Malaysia is 32.3 million.

Singapore is in peace and progress. Malaysia is in peace and progress. Both are good neighbours.

Writing about its relations with Malaysia, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Singapore says:

"Singapore and Malaysia have a long-standing, broad and multifaceted relationship. Bilateral trade, investment, and tourism ties are robust. There are regular high-level exchanges such as the Leaders' Retreat, Joint Ministerial Committee (JMC) meetings on Iskandar Malaysia, and Ministerial level visits."

Why was peace and progress achieved in the old Malaysia? Because Malaysia was sensible to realize that being in the same country with Singapore would perennially bring conflicts, deaths and backwardness, as they were ideologically, religiously, economically, and racially opposed to each other and would never agree.

There is one country called Nigeria that does not understand this basic human principle. If a group of people like the Igbos are "difficult creatures" and a source of perennial headache to you, expel them legally and peacefully. You will have your peace and they will have their peace. You will achieve progress and happiness once you have peace.

But Nigeria is a country that is hard to understand: a country that constitutionally divides its citizens based on their ethnicity and religion and still insists that the unity of the country is non-negotiable! �

Northerners have always smoked toilet fumes to stay high. Western locations like Akure, Oyingbo, and Ijebu have always been famous for their drug joints. Now that a few boys in SE discovered meth, everybody is talking about it. Why is everything Igbo always attracting huge attention?

I can bet it with you that the Igbo joints that are in your Igbo village are far numerous than those in Akure township.

One bite and its "Adieu papa"

Na adieu boyo, he never reach papa's stage.

Ditch her quickly.

She is not a good wife material.

Another goal. Free gift to Musa.

Another penalty for Osimhen.

It is only Osimhen we are seeing on the field. The rest of Nigerian team are mere spectators.

A totally uninspiring game.

deavicky:
Can somebody tell why this teams are playing llike primary school boys

Is this the team we will be taking to World Cup.

1:0 to Nigeria via penalty. Oshimen.

recievesense:
They do cos i used to be one.

In UBA, only Cluster Control Officer when I was working there.

"Clearly, you have zero idea about how a standard hotel is operated less of traveling outside the shores of Nigeria to have a clearer picture, do yourself a favor by using Google to search for the question I ask and see if I am right or wrong...

For your information, Radisson Blu is a world renowned hotel franchise brand by the Radisson Hotel Group with headquarters in Minnesota, United States, Apparently, you are just an emotionaly proud educated illiterate". - Village People spokesperson

It appears your forte is insult not good reasonings.

Please keep at it, it will take you places.

KingOfAmebo:
"I actually stopped reading when he said "They also didn't have any emergency services and no stretcher or ambulance". Are you kidneying me?

Abeg name one hotel in the world that has an ambulance, even Burj Al Arab - the World's only 7 Star Hotel in Dubai don't have an ambulance. It's either you are confusing Radisson Blue Hotel for Radisson Blue Hospital or you just want to cashout?

A 5 year old kid can lie better than this nigger.

They were trying to sneak me out through the back stairway on the back of a porter to avoid a scene..This is absolutely laughable, where you expecting them to take you through the guest lobby so that everyone can have a good view of your injured leg? This is a hotel nigger and not a school or factory". - Village People spokesperson.

Hope the same experience happened to you one day, maybe you will have the same confidence to justify your hotel's attitude to your misfortune then.

So, if the man did not have that amount in his account, he should rather be dumped in the hospital, and left dead. How many countries have you travelled to, and how many standard hotels have stayed in where they will not have health emergency section?

Do you think civilised countries have the same careless regards to life as black Africans? If they dare it, they will sue them to bankruptcy. And the victim should do so too to Radisson Blu Hotel to teach them a bitter lesson.

And you, next time when you don't have any reasonable advice to give on any issue, keep off.

Judge not by mere comments on romance section, I'm a gentle dove in reality.

You are what you writes, for as a man speaks so is he/she.

I don't want to get to heaven.

Thank you.

Whaaaaat?

This is tragic.

I will be remembering you in my prayers.

chatinent:
I was born a Catholic. I remember asking a Reverend Father what “bowing down to graven images as a sin” meant. He was biting his words cos he suspected the Jesus statue would be questioned.

Due to my inquisition, I had to dig deeper. Why venerate Mary? What is really her role? What's the role of the rosaries using the Bible? Can Jesus be God and still pray to God? What are the use of those Holy Sacrament and Hail Mary incantations? Where is Father Christmas in the Bible? Is Mary the mother of God? Very many questions...

I gave up.

I am now one of the JW.

You jumped from frying pan to fire.

Please you still need to change your denomination to get to heaven.

Etizz:
because the pastor insisted that he's not qualified to be a worker, if he goes to church, he only sit among the congregation, he stopped going to that church because he wants to keep playing his drum....he didn't stop going to church completely....I need answer to my question.... thanks

A church where a pastor refuses to pray for you just because of baptismal issue, is that a Spirit filled church and pastor?

Once your baptism is by immersion and by true disciples of Christ, you have no need of another baptism.

There are too many churches set up for filthy lucres' sake, shun such, and look for a true Bible believing and Bible-Truth preaching church to attend.

Stop following pastors, no pastor or church doctrines will take you to heaven, it is your own personal relationship with God and true obedience to God's Words that will lead you there.

To a man he single handedly trained? He news is coming from a very useless source SAHARA REPORTER

The moment SR brings out skeletons from our rulers' dark cupboard, their supporters will crawl out of the cupboard to vilify the only credible, reliable and tenacious investigative journal in Nigeria.

But let the same journal bring out the secret shenanigans of the opposition, they will climb to the rooftop hailing the reporter for his critical acumen.

Hypocrites all.

The initial design was for 8 floors so the foundation was designed for only 8 floors. His first approval was for 8 storeys, but he continued construction so when he got to the 10th floor, he was arrested with his workers and taken to Alausa in a black Maria. He sorted himself out and obtained approval for 15 storeys for which he paid the official amount. He was released and the site reopened with Governor's approval. Only the Governor gives approval for a stop order or reopen order on multistorey developments. The land is owned by the VP Osinbajo and he is an investor in the development. The developer- Femi Osibona who used to sell t-shirts in Abuja market is living in another property which belongs to the VP adjacent to The Gerrard Rd development. As of last week, he has two latest Rolls Royce cars parked in his compound which he just bought. The whole episode stinks and the can of worms will be opened eventually. This may consume the VP's political ambition. Sanwo-Olu suspended the GM of the Lagos Agency for effect. The guy has no power to close or reopen any multistorey development without obtaining the consent of the Governor. Construction is our business. The real culprits will be exposed eventually. VP & Sanwo are culpable. It's their investment.

#Copied.

nothingbuttruth:
You will be here killing yourself on Igbo matter and one small Igbo is buying your father's compound and graves of your ancestors.

That's all that matters to the Igbos: Money! Money!! Money!!!, and boasting of it. As if other Nigerian tribes do not have the same money, or richer than most of them.

When did the Igbos' highly revered MASSOB suddenly became reactionary?

Are they no more fighting for the realisation of the Biafra Nation?

If they are now supporting their hated government activities, that means even IPOB can become a turn coat and do so anytime soon now.

PrinceOfLagos:
It is only poor people that will celebrate Obi cubanna arrest

Young man, you are getting it wrong.

It is only we honest and righteous people that are happy that the Nigerian dirty augean stable is being cleansed of criminals staining our formerly renowned good names.

Small time the bandits will visit nearby Aso Rock to abduct some of its occupants if left untamed.

BigYash:
Blame game just began.. After wasting lives. When the said (murderer) owner added 16th,17th floors, the agency traveled out of Nigeria I guess. Stupid people!

They were pocketing envelopes for each floor of death added to the building in the comforts of their office.
