Naija, we play politics with every thing, I bet that list got to Saraki's office since, but in the spirit of you do me I do you, it has to be delayed till the close of business today, so that PMB can be portrayed as not a promise keeper.

If at that age he built a storey Hut instead of a toy car, then it's commendable.

Sitting beside a Rev Sister in a hospital reception and seeing a wedding ring on the proper finger, I thought to myself: she is married to the Lord (a Spirit Being).

If the above is true, why do some churches conduct "deliverance" for some ladies for alleged being married to "a Spirit Being"?

Why don't such churches advice such ladies to equally take the Oath of Celibacy just like the Reverend Sisters since they are already married to "a Spirit Being" (Lord)?

I know, some will argue (rightly or wrongly) that the case of the Rev Sister is different being a union with the Lord (Jesus Christ?).

dazzlingd:

Religious warriors
Tribal warriors
wailing wailers


just watch out for them, they will all be here

bigoted opinionated warriors
Hate attackers
Politically blinded warrior
Opinion-less followers

The Jigsaw is gradually falling into place. Before now a lot of issues we raised about the corruption in NNPC. One of the reasons we were told for the TSA was to curb corruption. Sine NNPC is the most corrupt we all expected TSA to be applied to NNPC first. Alas they were exempted.

Now the president has appointed himself petroleum minister. I repeat the jigsaw has fallen into place. Now tell me who will monitor NNPC spending?

Can you post the link that NNPC is exempted from TSA?

As I understand, there is pressure to that effect but the AGF, has not buckled yet.

Nigerians can be very stupid and gullible, look at the way f.oolish people on this forum are praising him , am beginning to believe that people are being paid to post or are outright stupid.... Any president that decides to head the ministry of petroleum is definitely corrupt, bk to the days of obj .... How can an illiterate president head that sensitive ministry, what does he know , I don't wanna see people spree rubbish that he did it under obasanjo and he established nnpc , that is crap , he established corrupt nnpc ... So no technocrat or qualified citizen can take charge , his deceiving himself.... He wants to hide his dealings with the north in that ministry ... When will Nigerians learn ... Gash

Is it not a wonder that an "illiterate" is President over Professors & learned Fellows?

The battle is not to the strong...

Don't forget God uses illiterate men to confound the wisdom of the wise.

If it will take an "illiterate" President to get Nigeria to work, so be it.

The best way to get anything done is to do it by oneself, if one has the capacity.

Carry go PMB, experience dey your side.

One does not need be an atheist to reason.
The problem with most religious people is their myopic preoccupation with their religions' literature.

A cursory reading of "the Lost book of Enki" or "the Earth Chronicles" shows why the Bible gives God attributes that are mundane.

Let me drop the bomb: man was created by a higher Alien specie of Man.

That's why Jesus said, " he that hath seen me hath seen the father " (John 14:9)

PS:
For those about to bash me, I am a "reborned" Christian.

The only law that the dispensation of God's Grace has not absolved Christians is the law of tithing; the question is: can we be justified by keeping just one of the laws?

enilove:
If you did not see where d church payed tithe, I hope you read these verses and follow suit:

Acts 4:32-35, 37 KJV
And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common. [33] And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. [34] Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, [35] And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need. [37] Having land, sold it , and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles' feet.

If you defend tithing, can you defend the bolded as practiced in today's churches?

Zamurano1:
They are protesting that though Saraki is not innocent so also is all APC members including Tinubu & co. bros, you and i know that this fight of a thing by the CCT against Saraki is not genuine but politically motivated. God punish Satan.

Who in your opinion do you think should answer to allegations at the CCT and would be genuine and not politically motivated?

we want to fight corruption but don't want anybody to face trial for political reasons.

I wonder if it's only common criminals alone that are supposed to face trial.

There is always a starting point...

Hungry man go support anything so far food enter his belly in the now.

What are they really supporting, Saraki as a person or his alleged falsification of assets declaration?

Na wa ooo

Why are they talking from both sides of their mouth?

They said Igbos should not ginger for Biafra that they are better off in Nigeria, now Igbos should not take ministerial appointments so as not to serve PMB.

Are they supposedly appointed to serve PMB or Nigeria?

It's a reality I see all around me.

Now that the ladies are making the money, they should equally do the marrying (societal norms would be quoted )

No body should complain. What a man can do women are doing better, except marry (Apologies to the rich single ladies.)

PS:
We are only looking at the selfish side of marrying or not marrying, what happens to single-never-married mothers?

can we argue that it's better to be a rich single-never-married mother and forego the child's need for a father's love as inconsequential ...Or children like marriage are overrated?

Do you know the duties of the Ambassador to the UN?

Yes, PMB got the embarrassment worthy of a President, it also shows to the world how incompetent Ambassador Joy Ogwu is.

Don't criticize or wail just because that's what is trending.

Duru1:
The Daura Dumbass duplicated his idiotic nonchalance to details and continues to hurry into issues he is clueless about. How could moronic Nigerians rush to USA without months of understanding what the timetable looked like and marry to the highly sophistication of United Nation method of operation? This Fulani jackass and his cronies are fanning flimsy excuses towards any department in Nigeria headed by none-Fulani or person not from northern Nigeria. What briefings were given to Daura Dumbass by the ministry of external affairs before jetting out of Nigeria? If the moronic dingbat could not even adhere to UN schedule of events, how can the jackass contemplate the solution to Nigeria’s headache?

A typical wailer.
Is it possible for a true wailer to wail without insulting?

It's obvious you are wailing back to the ice age as Nigeria moves to the Golden age of greatness.

ChappyChase:
Of cause we're on the move back to stone age with this bunch of mumu leader!!!! And congratulations to you cause you will now be giving the chance to see your fore fathers!!! Olodo... My fellow wailers, let's wail this "dullers" back to reality!!

ChappyChase:
And did Buhari contribute to the success of any of those refineries? The answer is NO!! He is just taking the glory.... We still dey wait for him cabinets oo,,

If you know a little about our history, you would have known PMB was instrumental in building our refineries.

There is no taking of any glory, he still has the glory of building the refineries you are talking about.

See what an outsider is saying about us, yet here we are splitting hair.

Do we need a foreigner to tell us who we are?

It brought tears of joy that Africa is waiting for Nigeria to move that they may move...

No matter the level of wailing by wailers, Nigeria is on the move.

The President's schedule was mixed up, is PMB responsible for his tour schedule?

I am beginning to see the hand of Esua in this UN outing embarrassment from their wailing.


Conspiracy theory:
PDP conspired with the Ambassador to embarrass PMB/Nigeria, afterall it's PDP administration that appointed the Ambassador.

Is that enough reason to justify this "singular" act of incompetence on the part of the Ambassador?

I think the wise thing to do is proof one does not have to be from Daura to be competent, not acting in a way to justify PMB's perceived tribal inclination.

Bubewilson:
The write up itself has a tribal undertone and when we have a president that have surrounded himself with those he deemed competent from his own circle. Incompetency has tribe interpreting from his body language. Which unfortunately is a wrong message he has passed down to Nigerians.

Why are you playing the tribal card? Incompetence does not have tribe.

I believe Ambassador Joy Ogwu was eminently qualified before she was assigned that responsibility, if for whatever reason she chooses to embarrass herself, PMB and Nigeria, she should have a watertight explanation to give.

Bubewilson:
In as much as I am displeased with the embarrassment the President has suffered in the hands of my Igbo sister. I propose that this matters should be seriously investigated: was she at anytime denied access to the president? did the President' have other personal and political schedules like having a meeting with OBJ and others which she didn't know and thus which obstructed her schedule for the president etc. And if Ogwu intentionally mismanaged the President's schedule she should resign. Such incompetent acts shouldn't be tolerated at such high level meetings.

However, I know that if it were to be a Hausa person that was in charge of the President's schedule such embarrassing situations wouldn't have happened because it seems Mr President is only competent in relating and doing things properly with people from his ethnic group. And this is really not proper in a society like ours.

My people have a saying "if a 'teenager' farts the first time among the elders it could be forgiven, but the second time is a punishable offense".

Ambassador Joy has done it the second time, if she is replaced she shouldn't expect pity.

AmakaDNBStories:

Nigeria politics is crooked, bitter, all things I hate. Which is why I am not interested in politics at all.

...but you always find your way somehow into political discussion.

Anyway this witch hunt talk is just the "Nigerian Factor": the uncanny ability to proof black is white because that's what will serve our personal interest.

You can have boyfriends as soon as you are old enough to know you are a girl not a boy.

if you are looking for permission to have sex, you don't need anyone's, only if you are (emotionally, psychologically, physiologically) old enough to know and understand the consequences and are prepared to bear such.

Sex is sweet, but the consequences can equally be devastating.

See them, this is the more reason they are now opposition. None of them is talking guilt or not but political.

Meaning, except it is politically wrong we should all shut the Bleep up.

ocelot2006:
Apparently you don't know how the police works. You do know that police units on special duties receive additional allowances, right?

Yes, There are allowances for these guys that are officially stipulated and paid along side their salaries, this one that is termed "illegal" and stopped is just a "favour" that was done on the part of the Presidency, not a right or entitlement.

Any security operatives that has undergone VIP protection training can be posted to serve in the villa, so any miffed operative can be sent back to base to dust files.

That's right, they swore an oath to serve which does not connote to be pampered.

In another news...
... where do we draw the line between contentment and the desire to achieve an ambition?

See na,
as a die hard fan of star trek I fell in love and has been waiting for the manifestation of this hover board like every other device (cell/tablet phone, flat screen tv) that was first used in that movie series donkey years ago,
here we are.

Wait oooo, una sure say no be over board we go use go heaven?

I think we are laying undue emphasis on speaking in tongues, Jesus Christ did not speak in tongues or make an issue of it.

If you say speaking in tongues is a sign one is filled with the holy spirit, then Jesus Christ was not, can you beat that?

whose report are we to believe, the Master's or his disciples'?

In another news, I viewed a post about the HAJJ tragedy that happened in Saudi Arabia, and got this message (pictured) when I tried to post a condolence.

Are we segregated on religious lines even on Nairaland?

ChappyChase:
Hope you married her? Cause na only wife material I fit do this kind ultimate search for!

Hahahahaha

May be if it were now I would have thought of her in that aspect...

Then testosterone and adrenaline were fighting for supremacy

egift:
Nigerians cannot allow our Laws to be made from the docks. The Institution is more important than the greedy quest of Saraki. Yesterday in the US, Speaker John Boehner announced he will step down to avoid 'irreparable harm' to Congress. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2015/09/25/john-boehner-resigns-house-speaker/72793398/

So why should Saraki cling on to Power if his decision will soil the name of the Nigerian Senate?

You dey mind us?

We want to be a developed country but don't want to copy how others in developed countries act in the face of alleged accusations of wrong doing.
