As long as Kwara a hitherto Yoruba land remains the Fulani property, cowardice is spelled out.

Abiola saga, Awolowo's shameful suicide, Ogundipe fleeing to London even when not threatened, the other general crying and begging a subordinate to spare him, Mile12 saga, Hausa and Yoruba olotun beans sellers clash in Osun... ..etc

I have many reasons to call them bloody cowards...

Stop swimming in ignorance. I spent my youthful life in Ilorin, the claim that Kwara if for FULANIS is not only wrong but very misleading. Yorùbás are the most peaceful tribe I have seen in this country. The fact that there is an error of history does not validate your claim. What you need to know is that, Yorùbá will not go to war because of throne in the 21st century, they have most civilised ways of handling issues and has won my respect. It may amaze you to know that the so called Fulanis have been assimilated into Yorùbá and they speak and live as one.
I don't want to join issues with you on which tribe is brave or coward, but if the likes of Adekunle Fajuyi could offer to die with his boss, Ironsi, do you think it is fear to refer to such tribe that produced someone that has alternative to escape but choose to die because of an igbo man, coward? Is that how you reward loyalty? Do you prefer a leader that didn't think through his war strategies which lead to the death of many, only to escape and the brave?
This analysis can go on and on. As a student in University of Ilorin, our SUG building in those days was named Kaduna Nzeogwu hall, do you know why? The man fought to change Nigeria to a better country without a tribal sentiment but his brothers that handled LAGOS and East messed him up.
We are better united.

Fashola has been delaying this project in d name of personal beef with ambode

You are being unfair to the man. The Fashola we know in Lagos state is not the one you are describing oga.
Despite the lean pocket of FG, look at the work the man has been doing on major high ways:Lagos-Ibadan, Sagamu - Ore-Benin, even Kabba - Ilorin. The power sector is not responding because of the magnitude of the damage and vested interest. Give it to the man, he is a hard working and result oriented man. Yes, Ambode is also my guy, let him keep up the speed of the work in LAGOS so that he can dwarf the achievement of Fashola, that is our wish, and I presume the wish of Fashola himself. It's not about personal interest.
Finally thank you to Asiwaju for producing the two guys for LAGOS, please help us manage them to the best interest of Nigerians.

It's is heart breaking how people have the courage to start defending people that are alleged to be corrupt whatever reasons!
My take is, we should all stop defending who ever has been alleged to be corrupt untill such individual has been cleared by competent authorities.
If Dino has a corruption allegation, let him proof he's not corrupt by approaching a court to clear his name. The likes of COMMONWEALTH019 should please stop dragging in the likes of Tinubu into Dino's matter. It is Dino's that have been accused, when Tinubu is accused we shall also require him to clear his name. But when we start defending anybody, it gives them the boldness to take us for granted and to loot us dry.

Shelloween:
How will this change the lives of suffering Nigerians? We don't want useless statistics, we want results. These selfish politicians would still loot the generated funds and we will be back to square one. Where is the animal that promised us CHANGE? I've bought maselft a Moet and ama pop it the moment i hear of Buhari's death. Nigeria's dead.

Shelloween or whatever? What do you mean by useless statistics? If you are not able to generate enough money by way of wages or salary to feed your family, what do you think will happen? In the same vain if you stop giving FAAC allocation, don't you think states with little or no IGR will not be able to pay salaries and hunger will ravage the land?

Mr VeePee has heard our pleas and changed his black caftan at last..



I hope this reduces his body odour.

I hope you know this man is old enough to be your father? Now imagine your father as the president or vice president of this country and someone now using this kind of foul language against him, how will you feel?

We are Nigerians, please let's be decent even in our anger. It doesn't matter how you feel, let's remember that it's not only Nigerians reading these comments, some of these comments may come back to hurt us tomorrow outside this country. Imagine a South African calling your vice president a smelling VP. No matter how much you disagree with the government, you will feel offended and want to fight back. That is when you will know that been a Nigerian first matter.

Still rumors since you can not prove that the man was sacked because of what the newspaper alleged and the rumor you people are peddling.

We have official statement and reasons from the governors office and that's it, what's left is rumors and insinuations.


You did not wait for her side of the story before spreading rumors and gossips, but now you are asking for her side of the story

And just to let you know, freedom of expression and official misconduct on the job are 2 different things.


People sabi reason like school children on NL sha.

It is the quality of minds like yours that are misleading the young woman whose office is not even recognised in the constitution. The Governor Ambode is a man that we are beginning to like his perfor;""", "" """

theDEVILisHERE:
Absolute Bunkum
Biafrans know themselves
others should help themselves

Also no restructuring of a sinking ship can save it from sinking
Those with functional brain have made their decision
Others can foolishly continue hanging unto a sinking ship and sink with it

Your type of idea and person is one of the reasons the South is suffering. Don't you know there's strength in unity. Don't you know why SS refused to go with Biafra? Selfish disposition! Do you know that is Biafra should be actualized today, the agitation will start in a new dimension within the new Biafra.?

deomello:
So, you know what both men can do and not do based on what? Because the same thing happened and both men did nothing?


You people sabi start drama over internet rumor and gossips sha.

You mean The Punch newspaper is peddling rumour? Let her come out and deny or state her own side of the story. One thing am thankful to God for about my country is that nobody can cage us from freedom of expression. Military tried and failed, the current administration benefited from our freedom of speech, let her bring her case to public for review.

I find it very difficult to understand the quality of people invading this forum to insult Prof Soyinka? I wonder what had happened to our sense of value. How on earth will people be supporting the like of Dino Melaye against the internationally respected scholar? How has Dino added value to Nigeria compared with the Prof or how do we explain the attack on his person considering the condemnations of an act that is indeed an insult to Nigerian.
Again, I strongly suspect the children attacking the octogenarian simply lacks sense of history and it a manifestation of gross parental failure. May we not lack elders like Prof Wole Soyinka in our society. People that will boldly condemn the ills in our society.

I sincerely hope and pray this report is not true.
If it's true, then this woman has caused serious problem for her husband. Tinubu and Fashola's wives are Christians married to Muslims, they didn't cause any problem in the church, Tinubu and Fashola will not remove an Immam because of their wives. Mr Governor, God is the one that elevated you over and above your rivals, please don't allow anybody to make you ridicule God under any circumstances.
That Lagosians are praising you today, it's God. Remember how you came under severe attack and criticism when you started.
Once anything is named/dedicated to God, please be very careful the way you treat it.

TonyeBarcanista:
Yemi Osinbajo is one highly corrupt fake pastor. His antecedent is a pointer.

Anybody that blasted those supporting politicians that were allegedly corrupt and turn around to defend Osinbajo or any of the aforementioned is an hypocrite raised to power 100.

We must condemn what is improper irrespective of whose Ox is gored.

You claim Osinbajo is very corruption, do you have any evidence of corrupt enrichment against him? Even the OP that named him among the people that appealed to Kano state house of assembly how sure is he about the source of his information?
I think Sanusi should stop running his mouth anyhow since he is also not clean. I remember what he did to GEJ, perhaps nemesis is after him?

Atiku Abubakar can say anything, he has his freedom of speech. Can we ever take him serious? Perhaps if we lack sense of history about his personality.
The present 6 geo-politixal zone is a creation of Abacha administration, the worst administration in the history of our dear country. The zones were created without the consent of Nigerians and it was skewed along with LGA to favour the North. Take for example, Kano has 44 LGA while Lagos have about 22 LGA.
In the same vein people been lumped into a region or state they don't want to be and boundaries are also not consistent with ideal and history. For instance, Nigeria was formed on a tripod of N, W and E. You have created three regions out of North and three out of West and East. What it implies is the North is now 50% of the country. This is not consistent with amalgamation. Also, the N, used military power in collaboration with UK to give undue boundary advantage to the north. In geography, rivers are natural boundaries, and international rivers like Niger and Benue shouldn't be an exception. The arguments that North extends to Kwara and Kogi in SW geographical zone is nothing but an aberration, and if Atiku intends to consolidate all the historical mistakes and errors, let him know that it shall not be allowed to go uncontested. North is north the of Niger and Benue.

Lastly, the North Central will be addressed as middlebelt and not North Central.

AbakalikiPress:
The Lagos state government is way more visionary than that of the Federal government of Nigeria.
Ambode, please can the LASG just buy up my entire state of Ebonyi and turn it into a large Agric fowl poultry?

Rubbish! Watch your mouth or your finger nnà. You can urge partnership but it is offensive to me personally event though am from North Central, for you to ask one state to buy the entire arable land in a state for farming.

What I can see in this picture is a man carefully walking and thinking how he will emerge the APC presidential candidate in 2019. After a visit to Ota, another to his Ikoy's neighbour, with an outstanding performance as Anambra Governor, he's undoubtedly the best presidential material from SE. He doesn't need to stay in the East, he's reaching out to different powerboats an ideal that many SE politicians have ignored for long.
If power must shift to SE, we need the like of Obi.

When a church decides to approach a court to settle ecclesiastical disputes, contrary to the laid down procedure of our Master and Saviour in the the Holy Bible, that disputes should be resolved by Church herself, then it can be safe to conclude that the "presence of God has departed from the Camp", as it did when the children of Isreal sinned during their pilgrimage to Cannan land.

It is better for both the Clergy and the Lythans to return to Bethel and seek God's forgiveness and be sure they have been forgiven for dragging the gospel in mud. In fact the church should apologise to the body of Christiandom in Nigeria through CAN, reconcile with their former leader and persuade him. to accept retirement, before coming out to dance. Matthew 5:23 "Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest ... and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift."
Word spoken directly by the mouth of God the Son, second in the trinity. [color=#990000][/color]

AnanseK:
Nonsense.

You call it nonsense because you can't make a simple sense.

Let them continue, when they push SW to its limits, and their leaders decided to back out, they will regret it. SE are ready to go, if SW should make up their mind, the North will stop the aren't nonsense.
I say without any fear if contradiction that the middle belt will not support the madness after setting the herdsmen against us. We are watching.

OLAADEGBU:
It is good to ask seekers to experience your God in order to find out the correct religion but should the sincere seeker also apply that logic to other religions? Should he/she also experience other religions in order for them to arrive at the right conclusion? A better approach to answering the OP is to tell us the world religions and how Christianity could be described as the world's most testable religion. See the videoclip below for instance:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UndVaMDhiY

I have told you my personal experience. This experience is based on the Bible and in my Bible I read, " I am the way, the truth and the life no. Man cometh unto the father but by me". JOHN 14:6. If the essence of religion is to see God after death and be saved from eternal punishment, I think it is a wise thing to use a reliable formula not trial and error that can lead to error of eternal consequence. My experience was premised on the formula in the above Bible passage. I hae tried it, it works. If you are therefore sincere in finding a reliable answer to your question, I recommend once again you try my formula. Going g after other religious formula, I can't recommend, because it's not consistent with the formula which I have tried and is working. Also read Matthew 7:13,14. "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are ..."
AM appealing to you to strive to enter in, once you are, you won't have any reason to doubt if it's right or wrong.

When some of us from Middlebelt talk about the plan of Hausa/Fulani to continue to dominate this country, our Southern countrymen always think we are alarmist. If there's any tribe that has made genuine efforts to unite Nigeria, it's the Yoruba.
It was OBJ a Yoruba man that championed the emergence of GEJ as President, but because he condemned the recklessness of GEJ administration, he instantly became sworn enemies of Edwin Clark and the likes. You have rightly captured the situation with PMB, today, he choose to favour his Northern kinsmen more than any part of the country, recruiting 51 candidates for DSS job from Katsina state, a number that is higher than the whole South East combined. Why will they not want him to stay-put? We are not unsuspicious of events in the military that are to the detriment of other regions.
Tambuwal thought Asiwaju a hard lesson also. Asiwaju mobilize the whole forces of ACN in support of Tambuwal against a Yoruba woman. (I mean how better can you define political support/commitment?) Yet, when the pay back period came, Tambuwal choose to support Yakubu Dogara.
South East has demonstrated enough frustration with the Union called Nigeria, core North of Fulanis appears not to care about what other major tribe are complaining about, South West keeps mediating. However, soon and very soon if we don't pray and work towards it by making sure the Fulanis change their domineering tendencies, there may be no Nigeria again. I am not an alarmist, neither am I praying it should happen but the Fulanis cannot continue to kill us in the middlebelt, rule us at the centre and PMB will continue to act as if it doesn't matter.
Finally, let there be a geniue census in this country under the watch of international monitors, the census should specify Tribe, Religion etc. This is what will help us confront our fears and decide how best to plan.

OLAADEGBU:
Thanks for telling us how to become a Christian. You are yet to tell us how we can determine why Christianity is the correct religion.

Your knowledge of any subject, situation or event can be best with experience. I have told you my experience, and how you can have the same experience. When you have a born again experience, the spirit of the living God will convince you that you have the real religion, but he right relationship with your maker, not only that, the Holy Spirit will make you know that it's the God of heaven talking to your heart. The truth is you can only understand it best by trying it. You word, coined with alphabet can true describe the peace that will come to your heart and convince you that you are now a child of God, you now have a place with God if you should die. The spirit will tell you that you are not just a church goer, you are on a pilgrimage to heavenly Canaan.
I implore, just try my God. Don't wait for a friend, go all alone to meet him in your room, ask him to forgive all the sins you have ever committed, speak from the bottom of your heart, be sincerely sorry. Listen to his voice talking to your heart, he will take control of your thought as you seek him in sincerity. It is real. THEY WAY YOU CAN KNOW THE TRUE RELIGION IS TO TRY PRAYING TO GOD IN JESUS NAME CONFESSING YOUR SINS, ASKING FOR FORGIVENESS UNTIL YOU ARE TRULY FORGIVEN.

From my observations, 3rd mainland Bridge is actually more dangerous on weekend and Sundays when traffic is usually low. Drivers seems to throw caution to the wind by overspending and a slight miscalculation can be fatal.

Is it not strange that this LGA administrator will plan to assassinate someone that he has exchanged media war of word with on political issue recently, knowing that if anything should happen to the Senator, he will he will be a suspect?
I implore the police to do a thorough job, or why will the Senator allow his security attaché lodge in hotel outside his house when the Senator is at home? Of what value is the Police escort?
I want to state categorically, I have never met the Senator nor the LGA chairman, but as an elder, I will want to appeal to the Senator to reconcile with his brother and let there be peace.

I want to state categorically, I have never met the Senator nor the LGA chairman, but we Okun people are not known for political crisis, I will therefore want to appeal to the Senator to reconcile with his brother and let there be peace in our land.

I know my own is correct I will therefore encourage you to try this.
First am a Christian, and you can have a confirmation in your heart that Christianity is not only true but have a real assurance in your heart that if you die after being a genuine Christian you will go to heaven. How?

Just go all alone into your room, close your eye and pray from the bottom of your heart confessing all your known sins, including what you may term as small sins like telling lies, etc tell God if He will forgive you for the sake of Jesus who died on the cross for you that you will never commit any of those sins again. As you are confessing one, the spirit of God will be reminding you of others, just own up, if you continue with sincerity you may not know when you will start weeping in confession, but a joy, an instantaneous one will come into your heart affirming that your sins has been forgiven. That is what is called salvation or experiential born again.
When you have this experience, the spirit of God will start ministering unto you beyond all forms of doubt that you not only a child of God, but you are a heaven bound Christian.
Old things will pass away, behold all things become new.
After that experience, you can ask God to lead you to Bible believing church, where you will know more of God's word and serve Him untill you get to heaven. He will lead you. Remember theres no perfect church on earth but we have the church within the church, these are the real Christians going to heaven, they have peace of God in their heart.
Wouldn't you try this? It works, it's real. God bless you are you call on Jesus right away, he will save you, he will forgive you, his power is still the same today.
Try it. God bless. I shall be waiting for your testimony

oluseyiforjesus:
If Nigeria should divide into 3 where would kogi belong?

It depends on that part of Kogi. It's sure Kogi West will go with South West, Central is largely unpredictable but in culture they swing to North, however a significant %will prefer South West. East if highly tilted to the North, but will very likely be joining the Plateau type of North while small % will prefer SE.

This guy should be told to go and hide his shameless face. Nigerians are not celebrating Quest because he's gay, Nigerians are happy to be around him because of his professional reporting skill in CNN.
Let it be made known that much as people are happy to welcome him to Nigeria, that love and sense of welcome will fizzle out in a second if he dares exhibit that demonic habit called gay in our street.

Be guided, Nigerians are not stupid to embrace every stupid thing from the West. Our law is against it, it is against our traditional values, it is against our religious practices and so, we are proudly Nigerian against GAY.

Ovokoo:
Popular Nigerian gay rights activist, Bisi Alimi took to instagram to vent at the behavior of Nigerians for treating CNN business reporter, Richard Quest differently despite the fact that he's Gay.

"So I heard Richard Quest is in Nigeria and as usual, my people are drooling over him. These are the same Nigerians that will not allow an openly gay person on their screen, or even give one a job. What is different about Richard Quest that makes his homosexuality harmless but my homosexuality as a Nigeria scary and threatening? Is it that my people think my homosexuality is in some way earth destroying but that is Richard comforting or as a people we just lack pure emotional intelligence to appreciate our own? My heart bleeds for Nigeria, it does make me cry for my LGBT brothers and sisters."
