The gods were not sleeping

Na Yoruba woman?

Ha! And we wey de for brown roof city no know the place. Op thanks

I keep saying that bet9ja enriches shop owners (agents). It's transfer of wealth from idiots (players) to smart guys (agents)

This isn't news. It's normal Nigerian style

Deltatoto:

Hon. God's continuous blessing will be your portion and household. Please check your email.

Deltatoto:

My Hon. E no go bad if your guy chop Sunday rice and chicken from you. The essence of living is giving.

Deltatoto:
even senate president does not pay his boys daily.are you a fool to be asking your boss money everyday?politicians spend serious money only election time

Egbon, all "boys" don't come everyday and same day. Nigerian youths go to their pay masters house (politicians) daily. The "payment" or settlement continue in a circle. Hon. How many commissioners and ministers are technocrats in Nigeria? Most commissioners are appointed based on the active role they play in Gubernatorial elections.

Deltatoto:
i don’t know what u mean?u mean a commissioner spends 1.5m wkly?ok what pls?keep assuming.

Hon. Nigerian politicians have a lot of bills daily. Ranging from settling teeming supporters, touts, party excos and stakeholders. You know as e de be mbok.

Deltatoto:
i don’t know what u mean?u mean a commissioner spends 1.5m wkly?ok what pls?keep assuming.

Hon. Nigerian politicians have several bills to make. You know as e de be. If na my state, house of assembly members, commissioners, etc de settle their teeming supporters daily.

Deltatoto:
im currently in house of assembly as a member I don’t say what I don’t know.

Congratulations Egbon. Can N5m monthly sustain an average politician in Nigeria? Abeg make we yan another tin.

solmusdesigns:
in the 2018 budget , Nigerdelta got a vote of N53.89 bn and NDDC got N71.20 now do the maths and tell me how many states budgeted that for a fiscal year

Bro, we were talking of ministries. All of a sudden, you brought in States. Any way, no problem. Are you aware that Akwa Ibom State for instance gets about N20bn monthly from FAAC?

Are you also aware that Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Works and Housing, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Power, Ministry of Transportation, etc have better budget than the intervening ministry?

It's more honourable to fail than to cheat.

It's more honourable to fail than to cheat. It serves them right.

PDP are really daft, they keep scamming people and expect them to be friends after such scam, wike paid all your bills when everyone left them broke, but when Rich Atiku that destroyed the Party for not getting tickets in 2015 came back with money the fools gave themselves like bitchesss to Atiku..

When all SouthEast Governors and Ike Ekeweremadu bowed to Buhari's supremacy, going to Aso Rock almost every week prior to election, begging him for more slots and asking for igbo IGP and worked to give him the constituitionally needed 25% Wike stood gidigba and fought hard for PDP in Rivers against federal might..

If PDP cant give his man Tambuwal Presidential ticket, they cant give his boy chinda HOR minority leader, and they couldnt stand by him during his travails with INEC, the smart thing is to move to APC a party with the ideology of no monkey go dey work make baboons dey chop...

Look at Goodswill Akpabio that Decamped, Buhari rewarded him with the most juiciest Ministerial Slot ever, Enjoying a Budget many times bigger than that of a state, having Niger Delta Amnesty Money in his pocket, same as Silva now enjoyin Petroleum ministry.. Wike also wants abit of gratitude for his hustle


..

I am sure you don't know what you are talking. Hope you are aware that ministry of Niger Delta is an intervening ministry for just about nine states. It's not as compared to some lucrative ministries.

Deltatoto:

With his dirty set of teeth

With your white glittering teeth, what do you have to show for?

This news isn't summing up. One news has it that the suspected killer was arrested along east/west road while traveling to Uyo, as against been arrested in an hotel. Again, another news has it that he's from Buguma in Rivers State which seems to be true going by his name. This one has it that he's from Akwa Ibom. I hope the writer is not trying to allow Rivers people to carry out xenophobic attack on Akwa Ibom people in the state.

J111333:
So this has ruled out the notion that those dead girls weren't prostitutes.
Well, thank God for the one that survived. I wonder how ladies still follow men to hotels in ph after all those deaths.

Many ladies hardly listen or read news. Any information not displayed on social media such as Facebook is likely to be hidden from Nigerian ladies.

If I ever play bet9ja virtual again as from this moment today wednesday 18 sept 2019, may you punish me severely, may it never be well with me, may anything i lay my hands on never prosper.

I know this is a risk am ready to bear the consequences.

Nairaland are my witness, God is my witness, this is a covenant I have set as from today.

I would have added booking betting but I am not working at the moment. I just blew 80 thousand naira on virtual.

My girlfriend just dump me 2hrs ago. She tell me say she no fit get mumu as boyfriend.

Chai bet9ja virtual what have you done to me?

Bet9ja enriches agents (shop owners) with the wealth of players. If you know, you know

Go and buy Basic Studies Form in Uniport...

If you do well which I trust you will, you’ll gain admission to study your Medicine and Surgery!

Op, please don't try Uniport basic. I have s good number of friends who took that part. They ended up becoming anatomist. Getting MBBS through that root isn't a child's play. Like I did advised, go through Cambridge A Levels
