It is well

How is it well?

It is not well.

Either with Iginla or with the whole world.

kikero:
And why is the service horrible...because the power sector has been straved of money for a long time. Corruption makes the matter worse.

Add the fact that in the 1980's and 90's, many stantes expanded power supply to many parts of the country without a thought about how it should be paid for.

Plus, many Nigerians don't pay their bills. I should add many government agencies and private agencies do not pay their bills either. That was true under the days of NEPA, then PHCN and now privatisation.

See, I am typing this from my working place. In 2003...I would have to go to an internet cafe, pay N200 for two hours to type this stuff I am typing. And the reason why I can type this is that GSM companies were allowed to set their prices, and we had to pay their prices (and it was a lot of money, I tell ya.)....and all the benefits we have from GSM...home interent, ability to make all sorts of phone calls...including international calls (when I was very young...if you wanted to call abroad, you had to go to the nearest NITEL exchange and wait in a queue)...are as a result of people paying the bills to the GSM companies...high or not.

If you want service to improve, pay your power bills. I paid estimated bills for a while myself, and yes, it pained my wallet atimes. I still pay power bills. But because most Nigerians don't pay, the pressure falls on those of us who do pay. And most who don;t pay claim poor service. Where do they expect the DISCOS to get the money to make things better?? From the Great Magic Tree in the Sahara?

If you were a businessman and people did not pay for your goods and services because 'they think you are cheating them' when you need to make a profit to pay workers and expand your business...how do you expect your business to thrive? How do you expect DISCOS to make improvements when you are not paying them to do so on the excuse of 'bad service'? Why didn't you talk when government asked people to say if they were opposed to privatisation?

You must be working with one of the EDCs?

You are actively making excuses for their inability to provide excellent power deliveries.

When they rush to buy those facilities didn't they do their project analysis of the environment they are investing in, and provide for all the exigencies in the contracts?

But they rush to buy thinking these are easy milk cows they can continue to exploit till eternity.

Are they saying they have all been making losses all these days, and they are still in the business?

Let them improve on what they met on ground, and give us the world standard service that we deserve.

TheAviator:
Were you the one who gave him the knife that he used in 'killing 90,000 Americans'. Go ahead and sue him for murder.

You don't need to be rash by concluding that anyone that supports Trump is a 'Biafran'. I have no business with Biafra.

Keep on imagining fake things by calling him a racist. This victim mentality has affected lots of Africans and have accused a man of being a racist because he has decided to secure his country's borders.

You think I support him because I think he gives a 'damn about' me? I don't need him to give a damn about me. My support for him is beyond the comprehension of just anybody. I have commonalities with him and his presidency protects it. You just cannot understand even if I tell you.

I am not a victim of any man, not to talk of Trump. Trump is a buffoon and the whole world knows it.

He is a big time RACIST; he doesn't hide it, hence his subtle support of KKK and other Neo-Nazi orgs.

And by the time the COVID 19 death counts reached 300k in America, maybe you too will come to a big realisation of his leadership incompetency.

Hoephase:
Your Obama is responsible for more African deads than Trump.

We African don't give a rat ass as long as Trump keeps it within the US.

As for your Democrats they brought nothing but deads to Africa.

Please cry me a river. For the record Trump didn't kill anyone with COVID-19 people make choices if as a grown person you still can't use your brain you are on your own.

When I read the news coming from Seattle even before the lockdown was put in place I told my boss that I will be working from home if they had refused I would trigger my sick leave and then holiday in that succession. Guy use your head and stop blaming someone for your stupid decision.

Who did Obama killed in Africa, how and when? I have been in Nigeria for the past donkey years, and a confirmed newspaper rat, and this is the first time I am hearing this.

Please enlighten me, and don't tell me to google it, as that will make you a dodge.

As for you having the option from home, not all Americans have that privileges, especially my son working with UPS in Indiana. So enjoy your privilege while it last.

For Trump, his political ineptitudes is killing Americans. I know it and you know it too, despite your ostrich- like attitude.

TheAviator:
Keep on deceiving yourself. Hope you know that your hate for Trump doesn't stop him from his string of successes?

What are his string of successes?

Killing 90,000 Americans through COVID 19, by not taking appropriate preventive measures?

You think he is coming to help you realise your doomed biafran dream? Keep on deceiving yourself. He is a racist and does not give a damn about you.

phorget:
They are all the same.
Nah dem-dem.
Nothing good will ever come out from any Gambari or Adeshina.
Ones you are working with this administration then your own don finish be that.
A sane person would have resigned a long time ago but we Nigerians just love ass-licking.

I won't still say a word,
E get reason

You have already said plenty.

Wetin you wan talk again?

Amotolongbo:
Femi Adesina accused Gambari of bootlicking then due to the position Gambari occupied then.
Femi Adesina is now in the position to boot lick the same Gambari.
Will Femi Adesina resign the post or resign to fate bootlicking Gambari?

Yahoo ni babalawo
Ole ni everybody
Eni ile mo ba sa ni barawo - Naira Marley (2019)

Though I’m not a fan and not a marlian, but he has said the very fact about we Nigerians.

But I am a Nigerian, and I am not a "Babalawo" neither am I a "Yahoo". Therefore I refuse to be defined by the so called naira marley song.

MEGA4BILLION:
point out just one hate word in my comment.

MEGA4BILLION:
I stopped reading immediate I read this,

"However, I didn’t join politics because I wanted to be a leader or because I wanted to solve Nigeria’s problems. I joined because of unemployment."

Nigeria's problem can never and will never be solve with this set of rogues who sees politics as a career not a call to service.

"this set of rogues"

Rogue is a hateful word.

seanwilliam:

Davash222:
Let her threats always be a motivation for you to get your own apartment so you can move out.

These are one of the techniques African mothers use to ostracize the spirit of laziness in their sons. No too reason am.

God bless all mothers.

Not all mothers will receive blessings, there are wicked mothers everywhere, and they will receive curse.

There are mothers that hate one of their children for one reason or another not due to that child's fault. I have seen a mother that told her son, I don't like you since it is because I mistakenly got pregnant of you that made me marry your father. Why is that the son's fault?.

The mother cited here is one of those wicked mother.

MEGA4BILLION:

Nigeria's problem can never and will never be solve with this set of rogues who sees politics as a career not a call to service.

So being honest to reveal his true motive for joining politics you now hate him.

But how much have those who "joined politics as a call to service" performed better than him in their posts?

Exmilitant:
For those of us who know him personally, thats not his true story.

Pls as an ex-militant tell us the true story.

We will like to learn from the two sides of the story. Today is Sunday, no work, no Church, please let the script unfold to entertain us.

Marpol:
The die is cast!!! Very soon FG will start selling Nigerians into slavery for forex at the rate we are going!

They don't need to sell people to slavery, let them call the ships to harbour, they will willingly embark to greener pastures, leaving the country for them to plunder.

I Prof. Ibrahim Gambari and June 12: The “un-disgraced” collaborator
By
Sowore Omoyele



If the Abacha repressive regime were a soccer team, Professor Ibrahim Gambari would be one of the “1st eleven players” or at least a quarter back on the reserve bench in the government squad. Though Abacha didn’t play soccer, he certainly sat on a killer squad that faced down members of the opposition-all lovers of democracy, and ordinary Nigerians in and out of Nigeria-while his bestial reign lasted, in addition to Abacha Professor Gambari has served almost all the dictators that has scorched the piece of earth known as Nigeria.


Professor Ibrahim Gambari, who some people claim is an intelligent man, used his ‘intelligence’ to defend the draconian policies of the Abacha regime while he was Nigeria’s Permanent Representative at the United Nations. He was one of Abacha’s equivalents of the “goebel” representing the infamous dictator with vigor and a propensity that could only be found in fascist Italy of old. He was once quoted as saying, “Nigerians don’t need democracy because democracy is not food. It is not their priority now.” As more pressure mounted on the Abacha regime from all corners of the world, Professor Gambari became more notorious and ruthless in defending and deflecting attacks against the Abacha dictatorship.

I remember his many appearances on cable news channels, especially after Abacha murdered environmentalist and author, Ken Saro-Wiwa following what can be described as a kangaroo trial. Professor Gambari stoically denied that the Abacha regime had committed a crime; he labeled Saro-Wiwa a “common criminal” who had engaged in the murder of some Ogoni elders. It was Gambari and Tom Ikimi who went all over the world to convince and blackmail governments of nations opposed to the killing of Saro-Wiwa and the Ogoni 8. They tried in vain to convince the governments of some countries, but it was also clear that they might have succeeded in blackmailing some countries into silence or acquiescence. There are claims that Professor Ibrahim Gambari had access to the Nigerian treasury; he had limitless resources to do what ever he wanted in the name of protecting the Abacha regime, no wonder he was able to pay for the juicy properties sold by the Federal government in Ikoyi recntly.

After the demise of Abacha, his other co-dictators and collaborators were put in their place: Call it the Nigerian Hall of Shame. Professor Ibrahim Gambari has not been touched; he has not been called to account. Unlike the Usenis, Mustapha, and Gwarzo, he did not appear before the hapless “Oputa Panel” to explain his ignominious role. Instead he was elevated by Kofi Annan, the United Nations Secretary-General, to the position of Under-Secretary and Special Adviser on Africa at the UN. The reasons are not far-fetched. Kofi Annan wasn’t too keen on democratization efforts in Nigeria; he was already in cahoots with the Abacha regime through his son, Kodjo, who was involved in the oil business in Nigeria. Kodjo lives a life of opulence in Lagos. There had been rumors Gambari was the link between Abacha, Annan and their businesses.

Even after the death of Abacha, Kofi Annan’s visits to Nigeria were primarily to prevail on Chief M.K.O Abiola to forget about his June 12 mandate. He didn’t care about Abiola’s freedom so he quietly went to meet him in jail and asked him to ‘fuggetabutit.’ It is a known fact that Prof. Gambari had already briefed Annan adequately about the “real deal” and shortly after Kofi visited Abiola, Chief Anyaoku followed, then the Brits and then the Americans and the rest is now painful history.

It is intriguing that Professor Gambari has now become a darling of so many Nigerian organizations. Honors are pouring in from everywhere and he is getting awards and making speeches all over the place. Recently a group named “World Congress of Afenifere” invited people to come toNewark, New Jersey to listen to a Gambari lecture. I didn’t know what to think, except the reminder that even the leader of the Yoruba race, Chief Abraham Adesanya, was in the company of General Abubakar when he came to commission the now defunct “AbubakarA. Abdusalami Lecture Series” at the Chicago State University in 2001. For this program General Abubakar had committed a lot of money described by the Chicago State University President, Dr. Elnora Daniel as”largesse”, this he gave from his ill-gotten wealth. Shortly after the Chicago imbroglio, Dr. Conteh, who was the brain behind the lecture series was relieved of his plum job at CSU and the “Abubakar Lecture Series” died a natural death. I am proud to say I was there at CSU with Lanre Banjo, Pete Sophie, Kayode Oladele, members of Amnesty International, USA, and many more Nigerians from all over the United States to protest the “beautification” of Abubakar. In the milieu that ensued Abubakar was served a court summons that accused him of human rights violations, and ever since he has not been seen parading US universities in search of a dubious legacy and undeserved honors. The case against Gen. Abubakar has advanced tremendously at the U.S. Appeals Court, Circuit Seven. The court reached a decision on the case between Abubakar, Enahoro, and others (case #03-3089 on May 23, 2005). The 31-page decision of the appellate court presided by Justices Cudahy, Kannes, and Evans concluded that the Abubakar case should be referred to trial.

For Professor Ibrahim Gambari, he seems to have escaped justice both locally and internationally. He can always claim that he was just a diplomat doing his job. But, since the days of the Nuremberg trials such arguments no longer hold water.

Professor Gambari is getting bolder by the day, and as such on June 12, 2005, Professor Gambari, according to sources at the UN, is going to make a speech at a weeklong event tagged “Medgar Week” being organized by the Medgar Evers College in Brooklyn, New York according to the . It is not clear why the college has not put the information on its website as at press time. They know all too well that Professor Gambari is to Nigerians here in the US, the equivalent of what David Duke (a white supremacist) would mean to African Americans.

It has become clear that the day, “June 12” has some sanctity to Nigerians everywhere in the world. I have no doubt that Medgar Wiley Evers a committed civil rights leader will be turning in his grave right now, certainly Abiola must be boiling with rage wherever he is and definitely the date “June 12” should never be the party day for shenanigans and collaborators.

Jman24:
People shouting image laundry have not even watched the clip.
Very funny video that lacks hipocricy and what every guy discusses About their woman.

scott04:
lol bro na lucid dream you describe not obe or nde that was created by your quilty and drunken mind.
near death experience can only be induced by dangerous life threatning situation eg heart attack, accident or child birth alcohol can never induce obe or nde. you also mention a film lol


spiritlesson is a christian website so aint suprised by what i saw. i can also direct you to a muslim web they would also claim people meet muhammed during nde lolz.

visit wikipedia or bbc world articles and thank me later cuz those aint myopic.

The words of the song say "He who feels it knows it".

You are a lost case, and too far gone in your senseless atheism.

May GOD help you in JESUS NAME, Amen.

NwaIgboBoy:
Hausa can never succeed without the Igbos and Yoruba can never develop without the Igbos buh Igbos can succeed develope and progress without hausa&yoruba.


Igbo Amaka biko!!!!

Then what are your people doing in Hausa and Yoruba lands?

Pack your loads and go and develop your region, and see if we will not survive without your greeds.

We are begging you, GO!!!

scott04:
near death experience victim always tend to become atheist or apatheist thats the fact. if you got no phobia for long read you can visit wikipedia or better google search it.
all victim of near death experience either muslim,christian or atheist have somtin in common during there (nde) moment which are feeling elevated, loss of sense of time, feeling unconditional pure love, a great soothing light that got no source, peace, loved, a great tunnel, joy etc. with these experience how would they wanna become christian? the fact is that they tend to be atheist or apatheist with few who return 2 religion becoming less devoted. the psychological text book u ar talking about might be writen by some religion fanatic. you can make some research to learn more. google is still your friend.

Oga I stand on my point, all Near Death Experience or Out of Body Experience person always turns out to become a Christian after such experience.

For example, me. I have experienced OBE moment before when my spirit slipped into the realm of the death on my bed in a state of drunkenness, with my wife sleeping beside me, and I knew immediately that I was dead. What came out of my mouth in the spirit was "Mo gbe(I am done for)" because I knew spiritually I was not prepared for death. But God in His mercies brought my spirit back immediately again into my body. I was scared and could never forget that moment.

Also, like I have said, though I was an Accounting student, I love reading Psychology textbooks in the library then. And my favourite topic then was NDE or OBE related testimonies there. Every victim of these experience will go through that tunnel sensation, then will then be met by a personality in bright light who will show them a review of their past lives, if lucky. But if unlucky they will met by dark forces who will be driving them to hell ( go and watch The Ghost, starring Whoopy Goldberg, that funny black woman.).

I have read too much on this, contextually or religiously. You can't go through this experience and survived it and then become an atheist. No my brother, NO!!. You will become a very calm person and a Christian.

Also go to the site spiritlessons.com, you will various examples there.

emusmithyy:
But sharing ignorance is WORSE than sharing a lie or farce.

Atleast nobody will know if it's a lie because the meaning was well-communicated. They understand it when it's been discussed somewhere else.

All these are just..ignorant stuff. Maybe the Op should tag it OUT-OF-BODY EXPERIENCE.

What's your own problem about all these accidental experiences? We are enjoying it, we are learning new things.

If you want NDE go and read Psychology textbooks or religious testimonies, dem full there berekete.

scott04:
90% of those that experience NDE tend to become atheist or apatheist.

No Bro, they tend to become Christians.

Go and read any Psychology textbook, NDE full there. My favourite topic when reading in the library during my undergraduate days.

Igbos want access to people land ...as if they got the land for free

No tribe has ever given the Igbo man land ..we pay for everything we get ...even if igbos separate those lands belong to us and we would come for them

The same way you did during the civil war?

If not for the magnanimity of other tribes many of your fathers would have lost everything.

But this time many of us are fed up to the neck with your stupidity and foolish boasting. So when the time come to divide the nation, there is no coming back for your people to reclaim your lost or abandoned assets, because we would have commandeered all of them for our own use.

So thank you for beautifying our environment with your mansions which will become our own in the end.

mrvitalis:
Lagos was built by Nigeria ...all major project was carried out by the federal government 3rd mainland bridge to the airport to the seaport

Yoruba claiming Lagos is like north claiming Abuja

If yorubas was hospitable as they want us to believe ...none yorubas would full ibadan ,abiokuta and other yoruba cities but that's not the case


Lagos is Nigerian project and that's a fact

Did you go to Ibadan and find Ibo missing there?

Have you visited Dugbe, Mokola, Ring Road, Challenge and did not see Ibo people selling their fashion wares and motor parts, or at Gates, selling their building materials?

Where are the Yorubas and the Hausas given the same liberty to sell in Enugu and Onitsha? If they try it, overnight all their stores will be looted by robbers supported by the whole indigenes.

Ibos want access to other people's lands while they are denying other tribes access to their own lands.

Very soon, it wiil be "back to your tents O Isreal" and then we will see who will be the ultimate losers.
