OCTOBER 27, 2014 BY OKERE ALEXANDER, BENIN

Following the crisis rocking the Edo
State House of Assembly, heads of
security agencies on Monday held a
peace meeting with leaders of All
Progressives Congress and the Peoples
Democratic Party as part of efforts to
restore normalcy to the state.
Briefing journalists after the four-hour
closed-door meeting held at the state
police command headquarters in Benin,
the Commissioner of Police, Folusho
Adebanjo, explained that the meeting
afforded the participants the avenue to
identify the various issues of contention
and fashion out ways to reconcile the
two parties.

Adebanjo, who was flanked by the
Fourth Brigade Army Commander,
Brigadier-General Fidelis Azinta, and
the State Director of the Department of
Security, Bello Bakori, decried recent
political wrangling among the two major
political parties, which he said did not
“augur well for peace and security as
the countdown to 2015 elections
approaches.”

“The evident state of chaos and disorder
among the elected members of the
House of Assembly is clearly inimical to
the tenets and principles of good
democratic practice.
“It is sad that the people are being
denied of good laws and no dividends of
democracy can be achieved in an
atmosphere of chaos, confusion and lack
of order,” he said.

Speaking at the end of the meeting, the
State Chairman of the PDP, Chief Dan
Orbih, described the meeting as a good
process towards maintaining peace in
the state.
“Well, you can see that the two political
parties are present here. We are happy
that we have started the process of
talking about the need to maintain
peace in the state.
“I believe that it is a right step in the
right direction and I think that Edo
people are eager to have the political
parties come together for the good of
the people.”

Also speaking, the State Chairman of
the APC, Barrister Anselm Ojezua,
while commending the security agencies
for creating the reconciliation process,
expressed optimism that the move
would open other opportunities for both
parties chart a course for peace.

Ojezua said, “We have to appreciate the
concerted efforts of the security
agencies to ensure that we revert to a
peaceful situation in our state.
“We can say that we have had very
useful discussions today. One thing is for
sure, we have also resolved thagoing
forward, we are going to resort to
peaceful solutions in resolving our
differences
“So to that extent, I think we have had a
good start and I’m very confident that it
will help.

That's a good news.

It's not wrong to say that some if not most graduates and undergraduate end up doing courses they didn't bargain for. This is due to various reasons which include;
1. Choice of department while in secondary school.
2. JAMB score.
3. Post UTME score.

I have a younger brother who is doing Office Technology Management just because he scored below the required mark for Mass Communication, we had a conversation recently and he told me he still aspire to be a mass communicator though he is enjoying the course does now.

On a personal note, I'd love to do any engineering course if I have the second chance.

I want us to discuss this to know if my hypothesis is right.

Share with us your course of study and the course you'd like to do if you have another chance and the reason(s) for your choice.

Will it not challenge TECHNO and put more pressure on Samsung.?

ojeffo:
NCC AND OTHER RELEVANT AGENCIES SHOULD PLS REGULATE THIS MADNESS BEFORE IT GOES OUT OF HAND...ITS A GROWING CANCER.

Tweetums:
So Nigeria is now their dumping ground for chinko phones because of cheap things we like to buy abi?

It will create more varieties I guess. Working on picture to add?

Ezedon:
Blood is thicker than water, let them go and settle their differences

I suppose I saw in one report where Ameachi was reported to has said "GEJ is not my brother".

President Goodluck Jonathan on
Sunday warned Governor Rotimi
Amaechi of Rivers State against
“reckless and irresponsible”
comments aimed at blackmailing the
Presidency and inciting Nigerians
against the government.
Apart from accusing Amaechi of
misappropriation of the funds
belonging to Rivers State, the
President reminded him of possible
repercussions for his current actions
when he is shred of gubernatorial
immunity after leaving office next
year.

Jonathan, who is on a pilgrimage to
Israel, was reacting to the political
rally of the opposition All
Progressives Congress (APC)
organised by Amaechi in the state
capital, Port Harcourt, during which
he branded the President a non-
performer and a disappointment to
Rivers people and Nigerians.

Jonathan in a statement issued by his
spokesman, Reuben Abati, said the
governor had crossed the red line in
his selfish political agenda by
resorting to libel, blackmail,
incitement and immoral, baseless
falsehood against the President, the
First Lady and the Federal
Government.

Abati said the Presidency was aware
that Amaechi had squandered the
resources of Rivers State on dubious
projects, but warned that “a day of
reckoning will surely come when he
will answer for all his actions and
false allegations against President
Jonathan, the First Lady and the
Federal Government.”
The Presidency further asked
Amaechi to stop trying to make
Jonathan a scape-goat in a bid to
cover up his failings as governor of
Rivers State for eight years.

The statement reads: “Governor
Rotimi Amaechi took his obnoxious
willingness to denigrate the highest
office in the land in a reckless bid to
advance his selfish political interests
to a new level of irresponsible and
rascally behaviour yesterday in Port
Harcourt with his totally false and
baseless vituperations against
President Jonathan, the First Lady
and the Federal Government.
“It appears from the Governor’s
completely unfounded and off-the-
mark allegations that he had totally
lost all sense of propriety, decorum
and responsible political behaviour
and resorted to unacceptable
demagoguery, libel, blackmail and
incitement of public disorder.
“Unless his unbridled ambition and
desire for self- promotion have
completely befuddled his mental
faculties and caused him to totally
lose touch with reality, Governor
Amaechi must know that his claims
and allegations are untrue.

“We can only assume therefore that
he is deliberately spewing malicious
falsehood in a desperate effort to
incite the people of Rivers State and
Nigeria against his assumed political
foes.

“We warn him that there are legal,
constitutional and moral limits to
political rascality beyond which he
will not be allowed to go without
repercussions.

“The immunity which he currently
enjoys notwithstanding, Governor
Amaechi should be under no
illusions: A day of reckoning will
surely come when he will answer for
all his actions and false allegations
against President Jonathan, the First
Lady and the Federal Government.
“He should also know that Nigerians
are aware of the truth and will never
be fooled or swayed by his arrant
opportunism and anti-Jonathan
rantings.

“Nigerians know that while Mr.
Amaechi falsely accuses others of
corruption, he cannot show or explain
to the people of Rivers State what he
has done with the billions of Naira
that has accrued to the state under
his tenure.

“They also know that while Amaechi
continues to falsely accuse the
Jonathan Administration of having
done nothing for Rivers State, he has
recklessly squandered huge state
resources on dubious, vain-glorious
projects or self-aggrandizement.
“Nigerians will know too that while
he falsely alleges that Rivers and
other states have not received funds
due to them from the Federation
account, the only outstanding
allocation was for September, which
was released to all states well over a
week ago.

“The Governor should stop trying to
make President Jonathan the
scapegoat for his woeful performance
in Rivers State and look to his own
very apparent failings and
incompetence.
“He should also stop blackmailing the
First Lady who has demanded
nothing from him other than good
governance, justice, equity, fairness,
real development and progress in
Rivers State.”

In another development, Governor
Seriake Dickson has declared that the
politics of Bayelsa State was
characterised by treachery, disloyalty
and pull-him-down syndrome before
the emergence of the present
administration.

Dickson buttressed his observation on
the state’s divisive politics, saying
that the state chapter of the Peoples
Democratic Party usually gets
factionalised three months after any
sitting governor sets up a political
structure.
“For those of you who have been
involved in the politics of this state
for sometime, you know that in
Bayelsa, immediately a governor sets
up any structure because of the
essential divisive nature of politics in
this state before now, two or three
months down the line, you will see
the party factionalised.
“Let no one’s personal ambition be
too big for the stability of our state,”
he cautioned.

The 2nd Half is underway now, pls give me one more goal Nigeria and I'm off to Sky Pavillion.

Really inspiring prophetic dream. I laughed when u said you were hopeless when u see the result of ur friend.

technophile:
Well, there is this very deep well infront of my house, so deep that if you don't have a very long rope, half of your body must be inside the well, while the rest stay outside before you can draw water from it.
Then I had this dream, in my dream I needed to fetch some water and it was raining heavily. When I got to that well, I discovered that the well that used to be very deep became so shallow that I don't even need a draw to fetch water from it, I actually used a bowl to take water from it which was very easy for me. When I woke up, I've forgoten the dream already, it was in the afternoon that one of my teacher called to ask if I have checked my O'level result, I almost fainted, cos I didn't know that our result is out already. I quickly call some of my friends and we went to the cafe 2gether. On getting there, the first two checked their result and I gave up cos I knew if those two guys could fail maths then I'm hopeless. When it was my turn, lo and behold I cleared everything, I was so happy. It was later on that day I remember the dream and what it actually meant.
Since then, I've been taking some of my dreams seriously.

1. The whitest man on earth still has a
black shadow.

2. No mechanic can repair 'breaking
news.'

3. No matter how tall you are, you can
never see tomorrow.

4. Even if you have millions of cars, you
still have to walk to your bedroom.

5. You, being the best swimmer doesn't
make you a fish.

6. The strongest man on earth can never
carry a mountain.

7. The smartest Assassin on earth can
never kill Water.

8. No matter how smart a police is, he
can never catch the air.

9. No matter how mighty a man is, he can never be wise as King Solomon.

10. Going to Church or Mosque doesn't
makes you a good Christian or Muslim.

11. Age is one thing you can never get in haste

12. One thing that goes up and never come down? Age.

13. How many people have actually laughed out loud as they sit chatting to a friend. None!

14. It is one of life’s little mysteries that a tube of tooth paste runs out really
quickly for the first 90% and the
remaining 10% lasts for days.

15. It is a bit of a sad truth that pretty girls with big chests and seem to get more attention and more help from guys than anyone else.

16. Facebook has always had the like button and the poke. It has since introduced loads of other features apart from the one it really needs. The “dislike” button.


The list can be longer, add yours and let's see.

I don't want to believe until this move influence the price of garri, rice and beans positively. Watching the space!

Fynestboi, MissyB3, ijebabe and Oga Seun, pls kindly help me move this thread to the appropriate section. I was probably dreaming because I intend to post it under general section.

Dream has been described as a series of images, ideas, emotions, and sensations occurring involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep.

Dreams can be really weird a times while some dream can be life defining.

I share my dream experience under the different categories of dreams have I have gathered below;


1. Daydreams
Daydreaming is classified as a level of
consciousness between sleep and
wakefulness. Studies show that you
have the tendency to daydream an
average of 70-120 minutes a day. It
occurs during waking hours when you
let your imagination carry you away. As
your mind begins to wander and your
level of awareness decreases, you lose
yourself in your imagined scenario and
fantasy.
*My Experience: I was sitting in a commercial bus traveling to Jos, after long wait inside, I dreamt that I have landed somewhere in UK. Imagining Nigeria become UK onof a sudden.


2. False Awakening Dreams
Have you ever thought you have waken
up and gone about your daily morning
routine: getting up, brushing your teeth,
eating breakfast and going to work, only
to wake up "again" and realize that what
just happened is just a dream. That
sensation is referred to as a false
awakening.
*My Experience: While I was writing my final exam during my secondary school days, I dreamt I have completed the exam and started celebrating with my friend, only wake up and find out I'm still on the desk where I read overnight.


3. Lucid Dreams
Lucid dreams occur when you realize
you are dreaming. "Wait a second. This
is only a dream!" Most dreamers wake
themselves up once they realize that
they are dreaming. Other dreamers
have cultivated the skill to remain in the
lucid state of dreaming. They become an
active participant in their own dreams,
making decisions in their dreams and
influencing the dream's outcome
without awakening.


4. Nightmares
A nightmare is a disturbing dream that
causes you to wake up feeling anxious
and frightened. Nightmares may be a
response to real life trauma and
situations. These type of nightmares fall
under a special category called Post-
traumatic Stress Nightmare (PSN).
Nightmares may also occur because you
have ignored or refused to accept a
particular life situation. Research shows
that most people who have regular
nightmares have a family history of
psychiatric problems, are involved in a
rocky relationship or have had bad drug
experiences. These people may have
also contemplated suicide. Nightmares
are an indication of a fear that needs to
be acknowledged and confronted. It is a
way for the subconscious to wake up and
take notice.


4. Recurring Dreams
Recurring dreams repeat themselves
with little variation in story or theme.
These dreams may be positive, but most
often they are nightmarish in content.
Dreams may recur because a conflict
depicted in the dream remains
unresolved or ignored. Once you find a
resolution to the problem, your
recurring dreams will cease. Find out
more about your recurring dreams.


5. Healing Dreams
Healing dreams serve as messages for
the dreamer in regards to their health.
The Ancient Greeks called these dreams
"prodromic". Many dream experts
believe that dreams can help in avoiding
potential health problems and healing
when you are ill or when you are
grieving. Research shows that asthma
and migraine sufferers have certain
types of dreams before an attack. Your
bodies are able to communicate to your
mind through dreams. The dreams can
"tell" you that something is not quite
right with your bodies even before any
physical symptoms show up. Dreams of
this nature may be telling the dreamer
that he or she needs to go to the dentist
or doctor. If you can understand the
language of dreams, your dreams will
serve as an invaluable early warning
system. They can help inform, advise
and heal.


6. Prophetic Dreams
Prophetic dreams, also referred to as
precognitive or psychic dreams, are
dreams that seemingly foretell the
future. One rational theory to explain
this phenomenon is that your dreaming
mind is able to piece together bits of
information and observation that you
may normally overlook or that you do
not seriously consider. In other words,
your unconscious mind knows what is
coming before you consciously piece
together the same information.


7. Signal Dreams
Signal dreams help you how to solve
problems or make decisions in your
waking life.


8. Epic Dreams
Epic dreams (also referred to as Great
Dreams, Cosmic Dreams or Numinous
Dreams) are so huge, so compelling, and
so vivid that you cannot ignore them.
The details of such dreams remain with
you for years, as if you just dreamt it
last night. These dreams possess much
beauty and contain many archetypal
symbology. When you wake up from
such a dream, you feel that you have
discovered something profound or
amazing about yourself or about the
world. It feels like a life-changing
experience. Learn how to recognize an
epic dream.


9. Progressive Dreams
Progressive dreams occur when you
have a sequence of dreams that continue
over a period of nights. The dream
continues where you left off the previous
night. Such dreams are problem-solving
dreams and help to explore different
options and various approaches to a
problem, situation or relationship.


10. Mutual Dreams
Mutual dreams are described as such
when two people have the same dream.
Mutual dreams may be planned,
meaning that two people actively work
toward achieving one dream scenario or
goal. It is a way to improve
communication and build trust. Mutual
dreams can also be spontaneous. You
find out that a friend, a significant other,
faraway relative, or someone has had
the same dream on the same night as
you. Not much study has gone into the
phenomenon of mutual dreams, but
there is a very strong bond that exist
between these two people.
*My Experience: My self and were appointed as a committee chairman and secretary of CDA project and we often deliberate on means of generation fund. I woke on morning and he promptly mentioned a name, which I already dreamt of overnight.


SHARE your dream experience!

@OP, nice write up. What category do u belong to?

You are not wrong bro, but it has been witnessed on several occasion (especially Sundays) that we have christian related thread on FP, yet FP is for everyone. I'm not calling for a debate though I won't argue if you one of mukina2, maclatunji, Oga Seun.

Dewze:
a thread created in a section that is for muslims and for muslims alone should not be put on the front page. FP is for everyone.

Where exactly is this place? @op

Ok FP! It's going to be a great weekend.

On Topic:
I often criticize the councils because they refuse to play the role they were created for (i.e bringing governance closer to the people), I come to realize though that they have been handicapped by the state govt. and this news is a good attest to that fact.

Off Topic:

mukina2, maclatunji, Oga Seun,
Pls do the needful on this thread, it another Friday.
www.nairaland.com/1888631/etiquette-salat-al-jumuah-friday-prayer

Mrval20:
IMHO, they should ban Nigeria for a short period. We need some time off for restructuring and we don't need all the unnecessary distractions from FIFA within this time. That's if the big men are willing to quit petty politics, organise themselves and effect a lasting positive change.

We are of the same opinion.
