That yellow shouldn't be allowed to go free.
In that way our fellow countrymen will know the difference between marriage and child abuse.

Good to see my team back on track.

I see no reason why government should be bordered about its citizens savings.

blackpanda:
OP I think you are mixing two different issues. BASA Agreement and issuance of Visa are 2 different things. Every country has there own policy on issuance of visa to another country, this does not imply discrimination. Try applying for american visa or south african visa and see how difficult it is. Visa policy is completely different from BASA. Nigeria also has their own visa policy too, and it is very stringent for some countries. And while we may not have a national carrier, Arik Air has since been operating unofficially as Nigeria's national carrier. However, there are plans in the works to unveil our official carrier soon.

Mrs okigbo case is regrettable and i believe its something than can be negotiated between the two countries. I think the real problem here was misinformation or lack thereof. Never apply for visa from an airline's website, they might not be able to give specific accurate info since its not only nigerians looking to travel there.

We saw lack of information on the side of the Nigerians representatives in the negotiation of the BASA agreement. When u negotiate, you try to get favor Le terms as much as u can. But the agreement didn't put those in consideration, as Mrs. Okigbo's case can show.
So after the supposed agreement, is the visa terms for Nigerians now favorable? That's the issue

Dr. Ogboji, RIP. It was painful when I heard of ur demise. We will miss u dearly. Rest in God's bossom till we meet again.
You died trying to save a life and in the service of ur nation like a patriot.

What? what is the definition of idle?

Is there not a clause in our Banking Laws that stipulates that Monies left after a certain time idly(hoarding) in the Banks, should be reported to the C.B.N who in turn have the powers to convert it into Federal Government Money? Cant the C.B.N name this owners of this $20 Billion? who are these Nigerians sitting on top of this money?

The Government should identify, arrest and prosecute those Nigerians who are guilty for the slide in the value of the naira by embarking on dollar speculation.

This Government is working.

I hope u know your money is part of it? So long as u are not doing business with it.
Apc supporters are amazing, if government wants to use their hard earned money saved at the bank, they will quickly oblige. After all that is what they can do for their country.

The njc made its decision based on the election petition matter involving ayeni, alone.
Saharareporters now added ffk and nimasa director's cases to it. People should read between the line. If u feel bad about a judge, write to njc, don't use a lone petition to rope in the judge.

Wow. This man is the likely winner in the yet to be conducted anambra central senatorial zone.

I'm sorry did you read what you just typed ?? So in democracy does executive arm of government have any control over what the Legislative does ??

the same you would have called the President a tyrant if he has bent the rules and stop them from getting those freedom.

Stop typing before you think mate

you missed the info in his post.
He was just telling us that there is nothing like pmb's body language at work. It's a farce.

shogbenga:
physically assaulting someone isnt a criminal case but a civil offence. yes the act is condemnable but the Commandant mentioned that the cadets have been punished accordingly. what else do we want him to do.he only mentioned that NDA could have considered expelling the cadets if the offence was reported earlier. but looking at it logically if your child goes out to bully another person and beat the person up ,will u say he should be jailed? or is it because the offence was committed by uniform persons?we should note that the commandant mentioned that at the time the offence was committed, the cadets were 3 months old in NDA....youthful exuberance....meaning they should be about 17 to 18 years old. if the offence was committed by older cadets, the punishment would probably have been more severe. we should control our emotions before we judge

there is criminal assault, it's both a civil and a criminal act.

kokoA:
I pray this gets to the ears of Baba Buhari. He will expel the commandant instead.

clap for urself

I don't think there is a place in nigeria that there is no road to.
Which makes it better to put those road to use than to build new ones.
Propaganda is what the VP is engaged in. There are roads in nigeria that are key. you can't leave a road like sokoto,kebbi- Jega road to build another one, you can only put it to good condition. same with lokoja to abuja road. So for me, new roads are not The necessity, it's just desirable.
By The way, what has the Apc built since if not upon what was before.

Reality.

Reality.

Good

What will buhari do??

Too bad

Sunday was a mistake.
took my team down the drain. He should go and learn that analysis isnt like coaching.

Wicked deed.
It may be anybody tomorrow.

Am surprised nobody is talking about that massacre in aba. just like the one in zaria and the one done by fulani herdsmen everywhere. we have just kept silent before all these evil because of ethnic affiliation.
that massacre in aba is so evil. can make u cry.
We will await amnesty international to publish their report.

Settlement is in the offing.

We rather use our trees and timbers for firewood.
This country sef. Everything is imported.

practice what u preach

Good development brought about by the current economic downturn. I am happy is helping us to be frugal.

azzima:
Nigerians were scammed with Okonjo ' s World Bank resume. Just like CHUKWUMA SOLUDO said "She was a secretary for the world Bank and not an economist. It's like saying that the head of Customer service of a bank is a Banker. Not all Bank employees are automatically called Bankers.The result of it is how she mismanaged our economy. If we can only remove tribalism from our psyche, then we will see how she obviously failed. Kemi Adeosun will be judged after her tenure.

In case u need to know,Prior to her ministerial career in Nigeria, Okonjo-Iweala was vice-president and corporate secretary of the World Bank Group.
Effective from 2007, she again became the managing director of the World Bank.
In 2012, she was one of the contestants to the post of the world Bank president at the eve of The end of the then president.
I wonder how a common secretary of the World Bank or the head of the customer service can contest the position of the world Bank president or the MD of the bank?
Nb. Nobody, even SOLUDO can assail her achievements
If SOLUDO has an Axe to grind, he shouldn't resort to distortion of facts

Nijagobeta:
Beg her for what exactly? To continue her paper improvements? And keep lying to us so she can get more foreign post.


Rubbish upon rubbish

So what do u call the present economic picture of nigeria? Reality?

Sibrah:
That's becos lazy Nigerians aren't producing enough export to keep them busy. What we like is that the FG subsidizes Dollar for us to go buy cheap Dubai and China made articles thereby help keeping their own economy afloat. Oil price has dwindled and it is time for those chest beating citizens to start exporting their products if any exist. We could av been exporting refine crude but PDP refused building refineries when there was money. They preferred to increase unproductive workers pay and steal us dry. Jonathan, the ineffe, finish the economy indeed.

And what is ur current FG doing?
flying around like a wizard.
He is not the Messiah u envisaged.

toludadon:
I actually don't know but what I know is that so many markets have been marked for demolition since the time of Fashola e.g. the Osodi Market but the traders won't tell you that

I thought u know the actual period given.
anyway, I expected the government to have given a substantial period say 2 months. The economy isn't easy presently.

toludadon:
Don't mind those market people they must have told them for years but they always think it's never going to happen and will now turn to whipping cheap sentiments by claiming they are only given few days to move

So how many Month's notice was ACTUALLY given to the traders?

HungerBAD:
Seriously? just 14 days to move? why do i find it difficult to believe?

Lagos State is not like other States in Nigeria, and usually the State try to work within the Ambience of the Law and that is why this Story sounds strange. Will wait for for the State's version of the story.

Meanwhile.

Without meaning to throw Jabs at some people, this man fainted, woke up and took everything in his stride, and yes he is Yoruba. If it was some mischievous ones, who eat from the same plate of food with Onyeka Onwenu, they would have said they were targeted because they are very successful, and that is why the Oba Of Lagos wanted them to swim in the Lagoon without any Scuba diving gear.

There are the Markets in Lagos, and then there are the Rules of Laws that traders must adhere to.

I am very certain the APC Government of Lagos will compensate these traders, i have faith in them and their transparent ways.

Why did u find 14 days notice difficult to believe yet u believed the man is yoruba?
You need help

fayose

lagos firms don't pay on time.
just have a discussion, bring up the issue urself. and be patient.
