I hope he will accept to serve as full time president of CAN? It appears to me the influence of other religion on the law making of naija is becoming too much. How will he just retire abruptly without signal after he said his successor has not even be converted and drinking bear a few years ago. Or could that story credited to him about his success or be false. I think am NOT happy about this retirement. However am not a member of RCCG but am worried on its impact on other Christians churches in Nigeria. |
Why majority of us Nigerian are not happy with this crisis of infrastructure in Ijaw Land and by extention the whole of SS, it is yet to be seen while the indigenes are not using the right approach to engage the goverment and their local leaders, in particular the politicians. My heart is in pain because of the plight of the common man on the street, but how do we explain the situation of people that choose to fight Obasanjo that orchestrated the arrest of Governor Alams and celebrate the man that has been accused of looting their common wealth? How do we help them fight the likes of Asari Dokubo that went to build a University in Republic of Benin instead of Ijaw land and yet pose as Ijaw leaders? Or how do we convince them that GEJ had all the opportunities in this world to listen to OBJ and build correct roads for Ijaw land, but choose to turn his back on the man that orchestrated his emergence as Vice President from Deputy Governor and eventually broke the ice that made him emerge as president? What did OBJ get as reward, insult!, yes insult, "he want to control GEJ" etc. Now today the people that GEJ gave the contracts to build your roads are not from SE, SW, N or Middlebelt. Make them accountable for once and stop vandalising the pipeline that is not the best approach to negotiation in the 21st century. Get the Youths mobilized, let every contracts awarded be published in your local tabloids, be involved in quality monitoring. May be you need to know that as much as we share your pains, we are afraid to champion your cause, because experience shows you eventually turn against the people that attempted to fight for you in support of your leaders stealing the region dry. |
Like the house help of Naman told the Syrian General in the Bible, I make bold to say, carry the Road Block, Why God, Beyond Repair etc to MFM or RCCG in Nigeria (Israel)Lagos - Ibadan expressway and they will know that there is a God in Nigeria that can change bad names and bad destiny. Haba!!! |
This is not completely strange anyway. PMB ignored hand sake with female ministers on the day of their inauguration but happily jump to sake hand with the queen of England. Our leaders also requires some training? |
The same principle that guided APC Chairman in supporting Yahaya Bello should also guide him to support Chief Faleke this time around. Politics is a game of give and take, at one point or the other there must be compromise. I supported Yahaya Bello during and after the primary because I find the candidacy of Audu Abukakar indigestible by extension Chief Faleke as his running mate, not because am not in support of Faleke but because the idea of power shift look most reasonable that timme and Faleke happened not to be on my side of political divide. Now we have power shift but Kogi West has been terribly marginalized in PMB Government. The only Okun son that was elected as VC of Federal University Lokoja was cancelled by PMB miniter of Education, Our only son that should have emerged as Governor for the first time was schemed out by PMB and his kitchen cabinet. Perhaps because we are Yoruba and Tinubu seems to be fighting for us which the Fulanis distastes ? If PMB should fail to consider Faleke this time around, he should just forget about any form of support from Kogi West. We may have political divide within Okun or Kogi West, but we certainly have common interest. The idea of One North should not be preached only when its conveniet for the Hausa/Fulanis. |
Nairalanders should learn to criticise or commend based on facts. I will recommend that people should Google his 2016 predictions and compare with actual before criticism or condemnations. Am neutral of the issue. |

“It is instructive to note that once the dispute arose between the old Imo State and Rivers State, over the oil wells and who owns what, the Federal Government stopped payment of monies as derivation, and “locked-in” the said funds in an escrow account until verification is made as to who owns what.” If the above is true, the FG shouldn't have problem releasing the money. In fact we expect the states house of assembly of Abia and Imo to constitute a joint committee to investigate the matter and task FG to release the monies as soon as possible. |
The state should be Kogi State if they have visionary leader Get Ajaokuta Iron and Steel Industry to work, that implies Itakpe Mining Ore will work employing about 200,000 people. Get the Inland Port to work in Lokoja. It implies most light cargo heading for the North will Bath at Lokoja. Get the road network to function and develop new ones linking west and east of Niger-Benue from Lokoja. Develop the crude mining capabily of the state to reasonable volume and then engage in massive farming in both West and East Senatorial zones. Huge potential for Agric, Mining, Tourism, Iron and Steel etc. But the giant has been sleeping. |
From my own perspective as an African, your wife is right. You and your wife are now one. They day you got married to her, your mother's children increased by one. You must also make your siblings see your wife as 100% member of your family. If it's her mother that is celebrating similar occasion and its time for your mother in law children to take pictures are you saying you will not participate because she is not the one the gave birth to you? Do you want to delete the mother from the word mother-in-law? She is right to protest your action and immaturity. If you children desires a picture of children purely born by your mother you should have taken it before marriage or perhaps stay unmarried. I am a man for your information, and if a woman will abandone her father and mother, change her name to live with you and you still didn't see her as 100% your family, you deserve the protest. In fact if I were the woman, I will sanction you for one month, no bed room discussion go and meet your brother and sister. I de vex gan ni o. |
The judgement of God may be delayed, it doesn't mean it won't come. The best we can do for the young man it to pray that Jesus will touch his heart and make him repent before it is too late. If God could touch Saul of Tarsus who eventually became Paul the Apostle after consenting and supervising the killing of Steven and made him to write a considerable portion of new testaments, there is NOTHING impossible with God, he can turn the boy to a great evangelist and may He do that for him. |
That is very kind of you Onazi. You will continue to make unusual progress in you career to the glory of God. Other members of super egle should kindly support our heroine falcons by donating money to boost their morale. We also expect corporates like MTN, Glo, Airtel, NNPC, SPDC, MobilExon, Chevron, NLNG, Eni, Seplat, J berger,, NESTLE etc to support our ladies. As for the minister of sport and NFF Chairman Pinnic, no comment. |
Rafidi:What exactly are you saying? You mean government should allow this people to continue to forment trouble? If the FG had tackled Boko Haram from infancy, we probably wouldn't have had the monster gulping billions if naira to day and still claiming lives. Every right thinking Nigerian must support the FG against this Shiite people. Thankfully they have warned us collectively that they are capable of taking arms against us. If any group could brave blocking the road against Chief of Army Staff in our country, one of the major instruments of coercion by FG, and nothing drastic is done, then we should all be prepared for the worst. We must just ignore the human rights cries. The terrorists are behind the cry, they have their representatives all over, directly or indirectly. USA will cry human right abuse, but ask them to supply fighter jets to fight Boko Haram, they will block it. Nigerians, it is in our best interest to support PMB in the fight against Shiite, otherwise, we should as well forget that we have a country if Boko Haram strikes is NE and Shiite strike in NW. |
DCTrendy:All the errors in my comment are typo error that I could not correct due to poor network. Anyway, I hop you got message? |
OZAOEKPE:In a very wrong way! Every freedom had its limitations. My freedom to swing my arms the way I desire ends were your nose begins. Be guided. |
ishowdotgmail:If you a youngman can call someone of the age of your grandfather a slowpoke. Let me tell you that your own grand children will use a worse language to describe you when you become old. I find it completely indigestible when men and women hiding behind anonymity, will throw away our values by insulting elders. For the record I have never met Wole Soyinka as a person, he's from SW and am from political North Central. I find it very irritating they way people write rubbish about the man. It is on record that he was jailed during the civil war by Nigerian Government for taking side with people the FG was fighting. We also now how this man's life was threatened by military for his role in NADECO etc all the victories that has contributed to our freedom of speech/expression today. I think this man deserves all our support at his old age instead of making him regret his life of sacrifice. If we don't hasten to correct this error, we should not be surprise if the best of our brains continue to abandon us when it matters. |
It is very clear that many of the young men and women making comments here do not have a good knowledge of the man, Prof. Wole Soyinka, some of them were either to young to know when he won the nobel price or were not yet born and unfortunately their fathers did not tell them his story. The man Soyinka hates injustice, you can't take it away from him. A man in his 80s is certainly a grand father and should be respected. Prof should see all the negative comments about his person as one of the downside of social media. It does not imply that Nigerians does not appreciate his person and contribution. Most of the young men on social media rattling our Prof should kindly desist from it. South Africans will never disparage Mandela or Desmond Tutu they way we are doing to Wole Soyinka. |
OZAOEKPE:I now have every reason to believe something is fundamentally wrong with you Ozaoekpe. When I read people's attack on you because of your comment on a previous tread today it didn't occur to me that your case is that critical. You making such a rude comment about an international respected scholar because he's not from your tribe is an unpardon able error. I hereby invite the moderators to review this Ozaoekpe's membership of nairaland. |
Good news from NBTE and Ministry of Education. To Punch Newspaper it is our prayer that your pen will never run dry. A good attempt at sanitising our Education Institutions. However, it is important to note that this investigation should be extended to all the Universities, Polytechnics and Colleges of Education in this country. The National University Commission, Ministry of Education, ICPC should make available an easy way to report the men of shaded characters and the women of easy virtues in our schools and device appropriate punishment for violating rules. A comprehensive investigation of the various higher institutions in Nigeria will probably reveal the Auchi Polytechnic is probably a joke when compared to some Universities in this country. It is now over to NUC and Ministry of Education hoping they will act swiftly? I can't just help thinking about how the leadership of NBTE accomplish this task without being compromised. Perhaps they should conduct a comprehensive investigation of all Polytechnics in the country, device a better monitoring and reporting mechanisms to prevent reoccurrence and if NUC fail to emulate this good step, they should be helped by NBTE and Ministry of Education to investigate our Universities. Thank you Punch Newspapers. |
Nigerian should consider setting up a body that rates government or administration on anti corruption. Starting from OBJ government for the pioneering role of setting up EFCC, to Ya'adua and then GEJ. State government should also be captured. If we can get a NGO, that will develop the rating criteria and score government /administration yearly and cumulative rating at the end of tenure should be published and bases disclosed. We don't have to leave the fight to Government alone. The NGO should have well respected, detriabalised and successful Nigerians like Emeka Awayawun, Akinsola Williams, Balarabe Musa etc. People that are not known for political affiliations. Such rating will be made at the end of tenure and placed in state house and [b][/b]National Libraries for future generations to read. This kind d of practise will put every president and Governor on their toes. We can't seat bye and expect the politicians not to take us for granted. If I have to rate administration on a scale of 1-10, alloting the highest mark of ten to best performance and lowest to 1, my rating G will be 1.OBJ - 5 2.Ya'adua - 1 3. GEJ - 2 4.PMB - performance still under review but looks better than previous Perhaps this should be a new thread on its own? |
deji15:Please don't introduce tribalism into this discussion. Did you not see a name called Kalu on the list. I feel extremely pained when people trivialise very important matter like this. All Nigerians, should unite to fight the people milking our country dry not mind g the tribe or religion. I say say without any fear of contradiction that that the people that pushed us into this economic crisis are not from one tribe or religion. The are a people united in crime against our fatherland. May I then use this opportunity to appeal for support to the current administration in their fight against corruption not minding the imperfections. Successive government will improve on the foundations and Nigeria will get to the destination. Let us not forget the abysmal performance of Ya'adua government in anticorruption fight that brought the likes of Aondoakaa, Waziri etc and freed James Ibori destroying the foundation laid by OBJ. That made it difficult for GEJ, to make any meaningful impact but he at least succeeded in chasing Ibori into the hands of UK government. |

Provided non of these are part of the promoters of the party: Bukola Saraki, Atiku Abubakar, Dino Melaye, David Mark and all past Governors of Northern Central States. |
Although the OP made a good attempt, but the picture did not capture the severity of the crisis. Pedestrian movement actually came to a standstill. I made attempts to snap the scenario but it was twilight and getting dark for my camera to capture. We implore the state Government to urgently provide a better alternative for the public. |
21st century police use ICT especially the electronic and social media to deseminate information, not leaflets that will litter the environment. |

![]() Progressive01:You are really very angry. I think part of the benefits of a forum like nairaland is to properly educate fellow county men about our diversity as a country. Indeed part of the challenges we are facing today emanates from inadequate information about our country. Like you mentioned, many young men and women in Lagos does not know that Christians are majority in Benue, Plateau and Taraba state, and that states like Niger, Kogi and Nasarawa have almost 50-50 xtains and Muslim population despite being labelled as Northerners. Just like some youth from SS and SE, believe that it is the conspiracy of the Yoruba in SW that made PMB to defeat GEJ. They fail to realise that the same SW, voted enmass for GEJ in 2011 and that the election in 2015 shared between GEJ and PMB. More than any region in this country, it was the SW votes that was most fractionalized. Indicating that both GEJ and PMB have considerable followers. |
This is just the right thing to do in a civilised society. Now when you have a law in place and someone or a group of people violates it, it becomes a punishable offence. So, Anambra, Kogi, Benue, Plateau, etc, if you like keep complaining till 2019 to PMB that his tribesmen are destroying your farm, you are wasting your time, because those guys have not violated any law of your land, but if you have the law in place, and it has been infringed, then no PMB or El-rufai can stop their prosecution under any form of politics. |
This is extremely wicked! In the 21st century, Nigerian still roasting thieves alive!? Nigeria Police do your best to apprehend the perpetrators of this heinous act. You may not have everybody support, some comments here on this forum may discourage you, but please know that God will reward you for every work for are doing to keep our society free of crime. Fellow nairalanders, Nigeria Police needs our support, please let's refrain from all forms of negative comment about our police and offer any help we can. |
Amoto94:Remember the money involved is public fund and it must been spent judiciously to the benefits of all(majority and minority). If you are building that number of mosques, how many churches are you building? Should government be building religious centres. Will Christians also travelling through the same route in the north, given our recent experiences feel safe to use such centres as stop overseas for business and rest? My take is that the man is not only been grossly insensitive, it appears he's completely bereft of developmental ideas and yet too proud to seek for help. End products? BOKO HARAM! |
Hey Mr Governor, what about coming to Lagos for a month to be tutored by Governor Ambode? Am sure he will be kind enough to train you and your executive on productive governance, if and only if you will recognise your deficiencies and humble your self to learn. Look here you can't deceive my people in Jigawa state for long, when ever they come to Lagos and see the infrastructure, they come back home to ask you and your team questions. What about creating industry, building milling plants for rice, wheat, maize etc, buy tractors , improve seedlings, harvesters, etc Anything that will support massive mechanised farming and engage the unemployed with the money. These people will build better mosque that you can build in the future. |
