It's easy for him to love Nigeria when he's a UK citizen and can abscond anytime. Abeg shift!

Eazi and Genny though! Chai!

Businesstools:
Thanks for getting in touch. My farm is located in Delta State. The most effective method for getting the words out about this product is word of mouth advertising. That's one aspect I find very difficult. I may not be buoyant enough to hire someone for that purpose. Secondly, the person will not put in his/her best, since he or she does not have much at stake. In other words, I need the funding, but what is more important is the marketing expertise.

Oh! I'm based in Lagos. I'm from Delta state though. All the best

*Why most States can't pay salaries of workers and the many ills of our economy.* THIS IS AN ASSESSMENT ON AN INSTITUTION WITH ALL POLITICAL PARTIES. *NOT A DISCUSSION ON ANY POLITICAL PARTY.*

21 senators currently receive pensions from government as ex-governors and deputy governors.

The current senators who once served as governors are *Bukola Saraki* of Kwara, *Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso* of Kano, *Kabiru Gaya* of Kano, *Godswill Akpabio* of Akwa Ibom, *Theodore Orji* of Abia, *Abdullahi Adamu* of Nasarawa, *Sam Egwu* of Ebonyi, *Shaaba Lafiagi* of Kwara, *Joshua Dariye* of Plateau *Jonah Jang* of Plateau, *Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko* of Sokoto, *Ahmed Sani Yarima* of Zamfara, *Danjuma Goje* of Gombe, *Bukar Abba Ibrahim* of Yobe, *Adamu Aliero* of Kebbi, *George Akume* of Benue and *Isiaka Adeleke* of Osun.

*The former deputy governors in the Senate*
are *Ms Biodun Olujimi* of Ekiti and *Enyinaya Harcourt Abaribe* of Abia. *Danladi Abubakar Sani* served as the acting governor of Taraba state.

Many *former governors* are also in Buhari's Cabinet as Ministers. This includes: *Ngige, Fayemi, Amaechi and Fashola (SAN)*

In Akwa Ibom State, the law provides that ex governors and deputy governors receive pension equivalent to the salaries of the incumbent. The package also includes a new official car and a utility vehicle every four years; one personal aide; a cook, chauffeurs and security guards for the governor at a sum not exceeding N5 million per month and N2.5 million for his deputy governor.

In Rivers, the law provides 100 percent of annual basic salaries for the ex-governor and deputy, one residential house for the former governor “anywhere of his choice in Nigeria”; one residential house anywhere in Rivers for the deputy, three cars for the ex-governor every four years and two cars for the deputy every four years.

It is alledged that in Lagos, a former governor will get two houses, one in Lagos and another in Abuja, estimated at N500 million in Lagos and N700 million in Abuja. He also receives six new cars to be replaced every three years; a furniture allowance of 300 percent of annual salary to be paid every two years, and a N30 million pension annually for life.

This is the reality for all the 21 ex govenors and deputy governors who are currently serving as senators. This same is also true of ex governors who are now serving as Ministers.

NOW I ASK:
How many years did these guys serve their states as governors and deputy governors? Is it more than 8years? Is that a reason to be entitled to these *bogus and mind bugling* pensions for life? Even if they are entitled to pension for life, must it be so outrageous? Do they have two heads? A man puts in 35years of his life in service, he ends up with a fraction of his earnings as pension. Some politician does 8years and for life he doesn't have to work again.

As if that is not enough: HOW on earth can any public servant with conscience collect salaries and allowances as a senator or minister, and still have the audacity to claim pensions equivalent to the salaries of a serving governor in Nigeria?

IT ISN'T ROCKET SCIENCE......

Once you are elected a senator or appointed a minister, *you must forfeit any pension accruing to you from government at any level until you vacate office.* This should also apply to senators collecting military pensions like former Senate President *David Mark.*
Yet these senators are in the Senate that is inviting the current finance minister to discuss the recession of Nigeria's economy. *A senator pockets approximately 30 million naira monthly as salary and allowances.* Our so called *"honourables"* are *NOT* interested in making laws that could restructure our country into economically autonomous federating States/Regions to save the country from sectional agitations that is threatening to destroy Nigeria. Why should they? They are feeding fat the way things are now. The sad and hopeless situation is that the rest of Nigerians are busy a

This just gave me a headache. I tire for this country

adeaks:
For the first time ever, something he wrote makes common sense.

I agree. But he would've made more sense if he had said this in the house not on twitter

From what you said above,it seems you already have a house. So invest,in something not directly dollar-dependent. Providing services is always best

OP, please next time put a warning for those that have not eaten so we will be prepared and not hurt our stomach in the course of reading


You know you have a serious problem when your stomach starts making noises

Lol! Viewer's discretion advised?

Jollof rice is life!

1. Where is your farm located? 2. What if I'm only interested in funding you with no participation?

In my own opinion, I think that pastor Adeboye
was 'slightly' wrong when he said 'marry a
woman who can pray for over 1hour'.
All girls r nt prayer warriors nah. One whole
hour!!! Even some seminarians finds it very
difficult to pray for one full hour.
Secondly, my wife is nt my cook. We will be
cooking together. Infact, there is nothing sexy as
a man sweating inside the kitchen just to prepare
food for his wife.

Come and marry me jor

Madam, this is exactly the problems we athiest have with religion.You have a loving husband whom you have loved and admired all this while and who has also loved you uncoditionally despite your religiousity.Now you are just beginning to feel uncomfortable about his athiesm. Why? Because of what others (religious folks ) are insinuating? Why is so hard to tolerate people who do not share your religious beliefs? Would you have prefered to be married to the so-called born again religous pretenders who outwardly profess regiousity but whose hearts are dark pits, than to a non-petensious reality-oriented man whose heart and mind is transparent to you at all times?

Have you reckoned that the problem might be with you and the increase in your religious zeal? Are you surprised that your pastor does not like him? How do u expect a pastor to like someone whom he cannot manipulate and sap? You are exhibiting the typical symptoms. Soon they will start seeing visions and prophesies about how your husband is evil and is going to do this or that to you and your children.
There is nothing in this world that divides people more than religion. Religion can destory your home if you allow it to do so.Your home should be your church. The love of your husband and children should be your sanctuary.
I guarantee that You cannot find in a church, what you cannot find in your home-namely love,sincerity,respect and peace.

I am an athiest who is married to a born again wife. I made my position know from the start and we have lived happily. I go to church with her from time to time. But I have grown waery of the "name it and claim it" theology of the pentecostal preachers,so I do not go anymore. I put my foot down on no night vigils, retreats,house fellowships, and midweek service. Otherwise, I try not to interfere. I find that is her church members who always want to make our religious difference an issue. I always put them in their right place.
As for my children, I have already succeeded in planting seeds of doubts in thier young minds, which for me ,is sufficient enough to help them develope the healthy skeptism necessary to intelligently discern life and reality, hopefully, from both a philosophycal and scientific perspectives rather than from religious perspective.

I do not see any problems in you family except the one that your religious peers are pressuring you to create.
Take note that the increase in your religious zeal is and will be directly proportional to the level of tension,resentment and ultimately, distrust in your household. I hope you make wise decisions.

You beat me to it. She's just dreaming up issues. He is a good man,caring,loving,great husband and father. Let her see what bible thumping guys are up to in my inbox. We need to apply sense here. The guy does not even stop her from going to church. Atheists are never the problem,it is the so called 'christians' who feel the need to defend their God and shove their beliefs down our throats!

Aunty Melania! I hail oh

HungerBAD:
Atiku again.

I honestly like this guy, but there comes a time when any sensible man should cut his losses and move on. There is something disturbing about the way Atiku is pursuing this Presidency thing. He is making it look like he is desperate to get power, and why?still puzzles me. You have been a top man at the Customs, you have been a Governor, you have been a Vice President, and for years the Presidency has eluded you.

Would it not be wise to call it quits?the way you are going about it, will make some say the "BORN TO RULE" toga, that has been given to the people from the North is right.

Tinubu Schemed you out of the Presidency in the APC, and Tinubu is still there with his very loyal party loyalist. Tinubu is an APC man, and has been consistently consistent in the same party, as compared to Atiku who has changed from the PDM, to the PDP and then the APC.

Atiku is not a stable man, and unstable people are not loyal people.

And this is why a lot of people are not comfortable with him, as they do not know where his loyalty is. My advice?be a Statesman, and be a power broker from behind the scene.

This Bromance between him and Mimiko to form a Political party is dead, even before the party is formed.

Seriously,you said it all. It is almost the same thing with Saraki too,hence their alliance during the senate president brouhaha. And if Nigerians have even tiny sense,Atiku should not be touched even with a long pole. Again,why same names?! It is the same people all over again,I do not care if it is APC or PDP or any other party,chances are anybody there has had opportunity to lead us in one capacity or the other and ofcourse failing seriously. We need new blood,not these power hungry desperate ninjas

Am I the only one who knows how to identify Ogbanje Spirits?

LMFAO!

Hello Abujaniv! I'm interested in going to the US for an associate degree in nursing or certificate in medical/Nursing assistant. I'm partial to Texas. I have someone helping out with the process but I'll like to have more info on very affordable schools. I was also told that I'll have to apply to atleast two schools to qualify for F1 visa,how true is this pls? Seeing as the application fees for both are almost $150. Also,I have a 5year old daughter I'll like to go with. Will it be possible or it will affect my visa application adversely? Finally,do I need to write TOEFL or IELTS if it is just a certificate course?

First of all,accomodating that guy or anyone at all behind your friend's back is wrong. Don't make matters worse by just letting your roommate walk into the whole thing with no prior knowledge. Either tell him now or insist your former roommate leave. You can't come out smelling like roses in this one. Your roommate should've been involved from day one

Issalie. Before we know it now another story will turn up,abeg make una carry una G-wagon wahala go

Semi flat cucumber breast...

Lies! Those boobs are fuvking gorgeous! Natural boobs are usually a bit droopy. And hers are perfect.

You don't wanna keep doing this with her. Yes today,no tomorrow. Before you know it,time's gone. It's a dreadful situation to be with. But be smart enough to get out of it now and fast. Don't make the mistake of trying to understand her. You can't,you won't. It's all about her. As hard as it might be,get out now. It will hurt of course. But you'll wake up one day and discover it doesn't hurt much anymore and that's how healing starts

See somebody's family member oh!

The OP needs serious education on women and relationships but lemme try give you a summary. No woman is gullible,if she let's you straff with no wahala,it's cause she likes you. Doesn't mean other people are having it easy like that. And smart guys know this. Forming hard to get is just stupid when you're interested. After all these talk,same boys will still open a women bashing thread on how difficult women can be. You guys should make up your minds fast. What do you want?!

Chai! Chai!! I'm going to church to pray

That is a very big fat lie. The op is very correct. Epilepsy is a neuro disease and oyinbos av it very well cus it has to do with d electric activity of d brain. I am presently doing my MSc in neuroscience at a uni in Europe and its one of the diseases my oyinbo profs are still working on.

Problem with Africa is too much superstitious believes and lack of adequate public information and education. Nigerians even bliv its contagious if d saliva of d epileptic touches u. Wat a big shame

Don't get me started on the havoc being superstitious has wreaked on Nigerians especially on Mental health. Studying psychology opened my mind to so many things we play with in this country or believe to be 'village people',I might just start a mental health blog eventually.

Stevebamdex:
Ignorance is killing you mr poster,unfortunately,you are so proud of it..have you ever seen anyone being cured from epilepsy through medication? Please answer me

He didn't mean cure. Meant it can be regulated and reduced to the barest minimum. I know of people who have not had incidences in years due to faithful use of their medication. Medical marijuana included
