[quote author=Mazi_Omenuko]Prepared Nkwobi with isi ewu (goat-head)[/quote]Oh Mehn, see flexing ooo.

In this Nigeria?? Let's just hope it works cos these pple always have a way of deceiving us. By the way, I'm 1st to comment.

Barely 72 hours after security personnel stopped Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State from approaching President Goodluck Jonathan at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa, Abuja, both men embraced publicly yesterday in Port-Harcourt, Rivers State capital.

The embrace took place at the Port-Harcourt International Airport when Jonathan was returning from his home state of Bayelsa where he commissioned a hospital facility.

Presidential Villa operatives had, on Wednesday, blocked Amaechi from getting to Jonathan  at the seat of power during a dinner, an action that was interpreted in many quarters as stemming from the crisis in the Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF).

The Aso Rock incident was the climax of the crisis in the NGF which saw the President disposed to Governor Jonah Jang of Plateau State as chairman of the body as against Amaechi, who secured a second term as the NGF chairman with 19 votes to 16.

Jonathan, en route Abuja after the Bayelsa visit, yesterday, embraced Amaechi at the Port-Harcourt Airport.

He arrived the airport in a presidential chopper.

As the president emerged from the helicopter, he made for the tarmac where the Rivers governor stood with members of his state executive council.

Astonishment
Both men were locked in an  embrace after a handshake while those around watched in astonishment.
Those at the airport  included the Minister of State for Education, Chief Nyesom Wike, the arrowhead of opposition to Amaechi in Rivers State, and the managing director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Dr Chris Oboh.

Jonathan later boarded the presidential jet for Abuja.

1st to comment ooooooooo, who are these pple wey comment b4 me naw

Spain will win Italy to play de finals, what do u think??

Its very possible, it depends on how long they stay 2geda with none of their kind around, they'll become friends. It has happened to our Cat n Dog b4, they became friends n played 2geda, but still fought once in a while.

Donmams: Hear her(PEJ):, "Iam here to thank and appreciate the role you and my people of Rivers state played in defeating the NORTHERN PEOPLE in 2011 election. Rivers people voted massively for my husband. I am your daughter and my husband is your son. I want you to support him again in 2015, I know you will not disappoint us. We, on our part we will never forget you"

Need i say more?

Now I know u r out to mislead and misinform de people. When u posted this, u didn't put the NORTHERN PEOPLE, now u have paraphrased to suit you. SMH for some Nigerians sef

Please fellow Nigerians, do no allow ur emotions to cloud ur judgment, or better still, read well b4 commenting. Madam Patience NEVER said anything about de north, its de Traditional Ruler that did. So u pple should stop accusing her wrongly. And she has every right to canvass support for her husband from her people, every responsible woman does. I'm an Akwa Ibomite and our 1st lady is an Ibo woman, but yet still, she canvassed support for her husband's 2nd term bid from her fellow ibos, so its normal.

We've all said what Artiste can do 4 Him, now what about us?? It starts from You n Me. If u can give him a helping hand, plss do. Don't wait till 2face or whoever does. They r humans, so don't be surprise if de don't do anything.

Maybe becos I've seen better flyovers in Akwa ibom, truly speaking I'm not impressed. I saw that flyover under construction when I was in Ibadan In December. A one lane flyover doesn't makes sense. I know de gov was afraid of bulldozing those buildings cos of de money to pay, but sooner or later, another government will have to cos that flyover won't be able to serve de traffic of ibadan fews years to come. Ibadan is a big city n deserve something better. And also, if I can remember vividly, its CCECC that constructed that flyover, I don't like that company one bit, de did some nice but not too impressive(in terms of smoothness and water logging) work in one of de roads in Uyo. I'm of de opinion that Julius Berger would have been better than CCECC. That's just my point of view, don't crucify me plss.

[quote author=Okija_juju]I still insist that this flyover was a waste of Ibadans scarely available money..

A one-lane flyover/bridge and road in 2013 is only fit for rural areas not Urban areas and certain rural areas that would soon be swallowed up by urbanization..


_{Build for the future not for today..} [/quote]U r right!!! I was in Ibadan in December last year and I wondered Y on earth would someone do a one lane flyover In a populous City like Ibadan, its ridiculous.

The National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, (JCC– Lagos) has lamented the spate of extra-judicial killing of students in recent times.
It said the actions of securityoperatives was becoming unbearable and may lead to further escalation of violence in Nigeria.
In a statement sent to DailyPost on Monday, NANS called on all Nigerian Students to join the protest against “the brutal killing of students by Armed Nigerian forces”.
The statement signed by Comrade Salau Adeyinka Fatimah, Public Relations Officer, NANS – JCC Lagos Axis regretted that in an era of democracy, lives of promising youth were wasted on a daily basis.
“Gun-trotting security agents usually shoot at protesting students merely carrying placards,” she said.
The spokesman went on to list recent incident where student were brutalized andalso murdered in cold-blood.
“On the 17th of June 2013, three (3) students were shotdead by officers of the Nigeria Police on Monday at Micheal Otedola College of Primary Education in Lagos. Several others were brutally injured.
“On the 12th of June 2013, four (4) students were shot during a peaceful protest within the premises of University of Uyo, UNIUYO, over the introduction of a new “Fare regime”. The Police arrived at the scene and opened fire that claimedlives of the students.
“On the 12th of June 2013, aPolice officer shot Ahmed Dayo, a National Diploma I (ND I) Accounting student ofthe Kwara State Polytechnic, Ilorin. The policeman, who probably is a school drop-out, has left Dayo with a broken bone on his left legand a crushed tibia which has affected the flat surface of his right foot. Except a miracle and/or urgent medical surgery, one of the affected legs may be amputated.
“On the 20th of May 2013, two (2) students of Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU) Ogun state were killed and several others were injured by the Nigeria police. The Police arrived at the entrance of the campus in Armoured tanks and shot sporadically at the students.
“On the 25th of February 2013, four (4) unarmed students of Nasarawa State University, NSUK, were brutally murdered by the Nigerian Army during a peaceful protest for lack of water and electricity on campus.
“On the 26th of May 2013, students of the Federal College of Marine and Fisheries Technology were attacked by armed Nigeria Naval officials in the school premises. Four (4) students were shot at, while about thirty (30) were injured.
“These are few cases of extra-judicial killings perpetrated by men of the Nigeria Police and the Military.
“It is pertinent to state that incidents like the afore-mentioned, occur daily in our tertiary institution campuses in several parts ofthe country,” the statement said
NANS appealed to President Goodluck Jonathan, saying that as a Father himself, he should come to their rescue by calling security agencies to order before Nigeria students are wiped out.
The union further demanded that all the officers, who fired bullets that killed their deceased colleagues “be prosecuted for crimes against humanity.”
It also demanded that any committee raised to probe the killings should have students as members for thepurpose of transparency

dhrey: GOD WILL BLESS U FOR DIS COMMENT,DIS IS WAT I REALLY MEAN IN MA PREVIOUS COMMENT ABT WHO IS RISHER.HOW MUCH DOES DURELLA WORTH 2 YEARS AGO DAT GIVE HIM D INSPIRATION TO AV DAT KIND OF A SONG.

What u r saying is baseless. When d'banj sang fall in love, was he in love? Has he married? Even up coming artist wey never blow de sing of "too much money", so wetin u de talk? Anybody can sing any shit as long as he makes money, it doesn't have to be real life experiences.

omokayode9258: Who ar dis senseles pple appreciatn d unreasnable nd jobles pple makn d pidgn versn. Pls whr is christianity turnin to self, culd dis be a religion or jst a theatre centre. d relign is turnin to somthn else, evrybody can jst tnk on somthns whch is nt frm d basis nd cnt even be tracd to Jesus christ our Lord nd jst add it nd lie against Jesus our Lord, som yrs ago, som women folk rose up in som european countrs nd viewd Jesus to be a female, they startd changn d bible frm he to she i.e anywhr Jesus is adresd to be He they changd it to be she. Nw coms d ibo mentality again o, pidgn bible cant u read english 1s. Dt is d major reasn i apreciats d muslims, they wil neva do such a thn. They valued dr relign nd they wil neva stain or manipulat thr doctrn. Can Presdnt is nothn bt a politician. I dislike dt useles man

Bros, no de claim over holy for here. If u were born to see Pidgin as ur official language, u 4 complain?? Not all can read English, hence de translation of de bible to different Languages, in which pidgin is one cos we can communicate with it.

saintandsinnerz: Really terrible that police will shoot live bullets to protesters just to quell them! Again, in as much as we are blaming the Nigerian police for their trigger happiness, we should also look at the conduct of students during riots. Most times students are overzealous in their protests and usually cause chaos in the process, and many times, protest that normally starts peaceful are usually hijacked by criminally minded students. And when the police are invited to restore order, you will see some students even going to the extent of trying to disarm an armed police officer! once again, It is a shame the poor students lost their lives for nothing, I will like to implore the IG to investigate this and bring the murder police officer(s) to justice. Lastly, students should learn how to be responsible in their protests, they should use more of solidarity songs,placards and dialogue to drive home their point rather than retorting violent protest.

It wasn't a riot until de Police started shooting. It was never violent until de police killed a student. They shot dat tear gas 3 times into a female hostel, see as those girls were running for their lives...

abujalapdog: Godbless your bro,when people are struggling to drive 320m bughati an they are fighting for #200 with thier lives!!!

U r sick in de head!! Do u know there r students who can't afford to eat 3times? Do u know there r pple wey never pay fees? Do u know what it means to pay 200naira in a school bus shuttle and that's aside de TP u'll pay to school to even join de bus, de food u eat, de endless materials u have to photocopy....and it goes on n on. If u no get wetin to comment, just sharaaap.

[quote author=Ouch_Daddy]Sentiments apart! This is really crazy! How &Why should Policemen shoot at students?? Even in d intense turkey protests, de (Policemen) didn't shoot at citizens..talkmore of innocent students!! The Trigger-happy Policemen should be brought to Jusice! Nairaland English & blah-blah-blah apart!! This is outrageous!!
On the students part!! Paying ₦200 daily on fares didn't warrant d protests, ur sch SUG shld hv resolved dat amicably wit the school authorities, now 3 students wit bright future's in this crazy country re Dead!! If Uniuyo students are complaining of ₦200 daily as fares rate, Those in Private institution's nkor?? *sighs!![/quote]We have de de worst n most stupid SUG president ever. He gets his share from de Management and keeps quite. Last semester, Students Protested about non availability of water and Food in the Hostel, last week students Protested on 2000naira increment on fees just 2weeks after resumption, ystday students Protested that de bus scheme that has always been free from inception shouldn't be charge, and our Mumu management brought well Armed Policemen. The threw tear gas into de school compound and Hostels(W4 in annex campus), they shot live ammunitions not in the air but straight at students. Even de civil defense that de just licensed to use gun joined in shooting. Asthma patients were suffering as a result of de tear gas, stampede everywhere. If care is not taken, our VC will ask students to start paying bills for light.. Due to de death of students, Angry students started burning down school properties like de VC's, Registrar, DVC's offices and even de main gate. Its rather too unfortunate that what started as a peaceful protest ended up sour due to Poor management, non functioning SUG and Trigger happy Police men. RIP KINGSLEY,200LZOOLOGY, RIP to de others I don't know. I'll never 4get my 400L, 2nd semester in the UNIVERSITY OF UYO.

Kassidy90: WTF! I had a dream dat I was cremated today, nw I log on to NL and am seeing stuff about it...God wats going on

Lwkmh, Wahala dey o. E don be 4 you, oya de find ur square root now o..

Congratulations to all 2012 batch B corpers. God bless ya'all. Also looking forward to being a corper come next year, Amen.

runzlord: SMH another poor man

Wetin u de feel like For Naija, how many people de drive Rolls Royce and how many de drive Toyota?? How many pple de carry iphone and how may de carry Techno?? Ur answer will tell u which Of de above 2 categories of Products have taken over de market. You wey de form can't have de mind to cough out 90Million for a Rolls Royce when u can buy more than 9 different types of Toyota cars. Its de same thing with this phone issue. Techno sell pass Iphone for Nigeria currently. That doesn't mean de buyers are poor pple. If u too rich as u de form, don't get a car until I have enough money to buy a Bentley or Rolls Royce, then I bet u on ur grave that u'll never have a car in ur lifetime.

xxyz17: They are for paparazzi?
I think you are the ignorant one here...no offence
Ever wonder why a picture taken with a Techno phone of 8MP won't be compared to the one taken with a Samsung phone of say 5MP in terms of quality?
Have you heard of Carl Zeins lense?

Bros, this is Nigeria wey Paparazzi is a major influence. Most pple will starve or borrow to buy an Iphone5 just cos de want to impress or show off. In Nigeria here, its just for Prestige in most cases. Take it or leave it. How many Nigerians consider all those specifications when buying a phone? Be sincere. E no plenty bros.

50calibre: Yes I know! China products sell like hot cake in Nigeria. To sell loads of products in Nigeria, the only unique selling point you need is cheap price simple!

Keep buying nonsense, Nigeria has become a breeding ground for all sorts of mediocre products, any body can start up a mushroom company in his backyard and begin churning out garbage.

Pls Can u tell me One Phone ur Beloved Country Nigeria can boast of Producing You are here hating...shame on you

50calibre: What do you expect? It is known that Nigerians like buying nonsense, I knew when China phones were the trend.

People leave reputable smart phone companies like Samsung, Apple. Nokia, Sony and instead chose techno, who the hell is techno?

Stop showing ur high level of Ignorance. These brands u r mentioning r just for Paparazzi, Tecno is super good.

Eko Ile: apabio is promising?

A crooked and lawless election rigger is promising?

A bad and corrupt financial manager dishing state money on frivolous nonsense like luxury jeeps for celebrities and sending people to dubai is promising?

A man whose budget is the largest in Nigeria with little or nothing to show for it?

A man who is using dummy Tropicana project to loot the state? N75 billion abandoned project?


May God help Nigeria or maybe I should say you already corrupt leaders of tomorow..

Y not come to Akwa Ibom and see things for urself and stop Criticizing my Governor. He gave Motor to 2face, so what?? If he gave to u, u for complain? Have u gone to de Tropicana?? Even if he may be lotting, he's leaving Akwa Ibom far better than he met.

Bryancrox: So JOHN UTAKA didnt invite me his childhood frnd 2 his wedding abi? No problem i go make am

Ukwa been sing am finish. Keep claiming relationship when ur mates de make better money. When will u become something so that someone can claim to know u

[quote author=obo_man]Just because you or your people aren't from Borno shouldn't mean we should lose our sense of objectivity...


I'm very sure that so many civilians are being killed because our soldiers are poorly trained.


Come to think of it....If Nigerian Police can kill civilians in broad day light, then I see no reason why Nigerian Army wont kill civilians. Both forces represent and are product of the society....

This State of emergency won't be needed in the first place if we had proper intelligence unit, but like most units in Nigeria, the SSS seem dysfunctional.


If Boko Haram could afford to give youth N5,000 to fire bomb schools, I don't see why we can't pay infiltrators N20,000 ( minimum wage), to infiltrate the sect for intelligence gathering.

So instead of State of emergency that is costing money, all we will just need is a specialist team, well trained to swoop and make arrest based on intelligence gathering.[/quote]U r talking Trash.

mu2sa2: At the same time, Gej must be held responsible in respect of those who were unjustly detained or in flagrant violation of the constitution. Gani Fawehinmi is no more with us to take up the case of these poor women and under-aged kids who were clamped into squalid conditions for months without being charged to court , but other peoples lawyers can take up this case . This inhuman and illegal act of deliberate violation of the constitution must not be allowed to be brushed under the carpet. Those who committed this evil act will pay for it in or out of office. If a person commits an offence he should answer for it, but not his kids,wife or sister or mother.
These people shouldn't have been detained at all, but under an incompetent govt and phony democracy incongruities will be the order of the day. Even Americans with all their anti- Taliban stance did not degenerate to officially kidnapping innocent women relatives and kid children of their arch-enemies in Afghanistan.

Guy listen to urself. u r talking TRASH.

Lol. This is funny!! So make we chop de boy?? Fine photoshop work.
