Look at them all, laughing together, probably talking about business or sharing formula. This has always being their way and immediately things went south, you see them mentioning na because i be Yoruba, i no be hausa, if i be Muslim dey no go do me like this na because i be Christian reason him do me like this.

Las las, Abiola children are still living large, Abacha family are still living luxury life and Michael Otedola son still remains one of Nigeria Billionaire of today. Make we masses open our head all of them na ONE when its comes to looting our resources.

Hahahaha, before nko!

AsawanaDgreat:
What of special adviser on red oil?

That one is in the offing, not to mention SA guest house( if you know, you know).

Kingofpalmgroov:
Assuming it's an Islamic post, "they" would have asked you to take a confession by accepting their god before you can comment.

Not one person out of the 1.2 billion muslims on earth will come here and insult jesus. But you guys will go to islamic threads to hurl insults at a personality dear to the hearts of muslims. Good that the administrators stop you in your tracts. Kudos to the admin for dealing a telling blow on the uncouth elements.

Bighenzzy:
Yes sir

Revert to the soap you were using before and the itching would stop.

Did you change toilet soap?

Igbo! Igbo!! Igbo!!!

Geoffrey Onyeama April 19, 2020 - Tribute to Kyari: The Best Man


I first met Abba Kyari in 1977 at Warwick University in England. I had gone there to do law as a second first degree. He had come to do a degree in sociology. I had a pending application to do Law at Cambridge and when the result of that application came and it was positive, I left Warwick during the second semester.
But my five months at Warwick was enough to build a strong friendship with Abba that lasted till his passing. Almost 43 years!

There was a small group of Nigerians at Warwick then, which included former President Yakubu Gowon (who was doing a PhD in Political Science) ; Senator Osereihmi Osunbor (former Senator and Governor); Sitonye Roy Wakama (former Deputy Inspector General of Police) and the lawyer, Desmond Guobadia.
There were a few other Nigerians.

Abba was quite skinny in those days! We became friends very quickly and a life-long bond was formed.

Abba was very simple and humble. He was also very friendly with everyone. He had very litte interest in material things. We had a common interest in politics and I believe it was our socialist political values that cemented our friendship because we were always discussing politics and how to salvage Nigeria right up to his passing.

Abba was also surprisingly sociable for someone who was so self-effacing and we
had a lot of enjoyable and memorable experiences at parties and discotheques! Abba also had a very good sense of humour belied by his often stern visage.
When I left Warwick University for Cambridge, Abba came to Cambridge to introduce me to his friends there as he had studied in the city for his Advanced levels. After graduating from Warwick University, Abba went up to Cambridge to study law. We kept in touch throughout the last 43 years. We ended up together in Lagos in 1982 to attend Law School for a year. When I left Nigeria in 1985 to work in Geneva for 30 years Abba came to Geneva often to stay with me and whenever I was in Nigeria, he made it a point of coming to see me wherever I was.

When I got married in Owo to my wife from Idoani, Ondo State, Abba was my Best-Man. The officiating Vicar was somewhat perplexed because I was a Roman Catholic Igbo, marrying an Anglican Yoruba in an Anglican church with a Muslim Kanuri/Shuwa Arab Best-Man from Borno State!
The officiating Catholic priest in Geneva, Switzerland, two years later, during the baptism of our first son, was equally perplexed when a muslim Abba Kyari and a muslim Muni Attah-Sonibare were the Godfather and Godmother respectively! Abba was a Pan-Nigerian, global citizen, who recognized no boundaries between peoples, be they racial, ethnic, religious, class or political. He made friends with everyone.

Abba was a man of unimpeachable integrity. Absolutely incorruptible! I remember after he got married to his wonderful wife, Kulu, he told me how he showed her his first paycheck so she would know that he was not wealthy and would not steal!
It broke my heart to see all the false allegations against him on issues of corruption. He showed me the safe in his office where he put any unsolicited gift .

I remember asking him about the rumours making the rounds that he was making money from the fine imposed on MTN. He immediately showed me the memorandum setting up the Committee to deal with the issue and he was not even a member. He also showed me how he had been able to block attempts by many influential and powerful persons to make a lot of money at the expense of the country. He knew that fighting corruption with such single mindedness and fearlessness would see him at the receiving end of the venom of very powerful forces but was undeterred and preferred to ignore all the defamation against him.

Abba was loyal to a fault. He decided he was going to protect his boss, President Muhammadu Buhari, at all costs and would take any number of bullets for him. And he did!
Since he became Chief of Staff to the President, Abba never rested. He worked day and night, seven days a week. He was a hard taskmaster who did not suffer fools gladly. A very demanding boss. He gave a lot of himself and expected his subordinates and colleagues to do the same.
He was very intelligent, very well-read and had a wide and varied professional experience. He held strong opinions and did not yield position easily. But once he believed in someone or a cause, he would fight with everything he had.

Abba believed completely in the Nigerian project and believed completely in President Muhammadu Buhari. During the last five years he gave every second of his life for the success of both. His health suffered as a result but it was a sacrifice and investment he was happy to make. Nigerians will look back in years to come and see that he was truly the Best Man.
Rest In Peace my brother.

JayPeeOham:
So?....what should we do with this picture exactly??

What you have done is exactly what you should do with it!

Pierced:
Why is the grave so shallow...... it's not up to 6 ft.......may like 4 or 3.5 ft.

Is it Muslim thing?

The width and depth of the grave is immaterial. The sad reality, though, is that in the end we are all food for worms.

mexyk:
Nothing wrong with “How was your night?”

People sef

So you expect the person to start explaining what happened in the night to you and everyone that says the same thing to him? What really is your business with another person's night? If you say stupid you may get stupid response. It may be correct when speaking yoruba (it's a standard morning greeting among the yoruba and it appears they just did a literal translation and it has caught on with other Nigerians).
Instead of "how was your night", why not simple "good morning" and go your own way. If you have a cause to ask after anything because of your relationship, be specific.

Ironic:
Kemi Olonuyo might be controversial, but she's never wrong with her journalism.

In Akon's voice.

No need to cherish luxuries
‘Cause everything come and go
Even the life that you have is borrowed
‘Cause you’re not promised tomorrow
So live your life as if every day is gon’ be your last

Rest In Peace Abba.

Coronavirus is fvckin REAL

You're fvcking right about this fvcking disease that's a fvcking threat to everyone - what a fvcking time mankind is fvcking passing through with unprecedented fvcking fear!

ikabasa1:
.
You can have more than 1 index cases if both emanated differently

Or at the same time e.g a couple who returned to the state and were simultaneously found positive for Covid-19.

Hahahaha, Americans have started de-marketing Chinese vaccine to pave the way for their own soon-to-be-produced vaccine.

Good one prof of English, though you have only a BA in English.
The trick with signs is, the more stupid messages attract attention better. Cows will be hanged or cars shot and eaten will catch attention faster and sink in better. Similarly, instead of posting "Don't dump refuse here", the warning will be taken more seriously if it's "Animals, please dump refuse here". If you're caught dumping there, you will need to explain you're an animal.

Punchline33:
Congrats. But the woman is now looking older than the man. Please anyone here who knows Eneche personally should tell him to lobby FCTA to get a pedestrian bridge built because it is unsafe for his church members to be sprinting across a 12-lane busy airport road where drivers drive like they re practicing for Formula1 all in a bid to meet up with oga at the airport or catch flights. This is a serious matter else no matter how he tries to project his image in the public i will see him like our careless leaders who dont care about the masses (his poor members).

Rather, appeal to the self-declared man of god to construct the pedestrian bridge.

golddare:
Dont mind them, they wont listen because it's easier to loot using their methods. Give 50 people 20k each but on paper 200 people have collected 20k.
My God please dont forgive these looters, harden their hearts like pharaoh, ensure they end like pharaoh, seek the blood of the innocents from them, i pray in Jesus name. Amen.

Jesus says turn the other cheek, not pray evil prayer in his name as you have done.

philip0906:
Lol...You obviously closed your eyes to
1. Advanced economies dipping at -6%
2. Nigeria will bounce back at 2.4% in 2020

You just want to wail

Wailing is their portion, so let him keep wailing.

hisexcellency34:
Go ask OBJ...he is an expert in that field

Obj is not just an expert in these matters, he is a RENOWNED expert.

James4bright:
Nigeria is a shithole

I repeat!!

Nigeria is a shithole

And you are a shitholer - I repeat, you are a shitholer.

kikero:
Thank God for your life...but for me, there is nothing more enjoyable than being able to drive my own car. I kind of feel like I am achieving a dream every time i get behind the wheel...because as a child I used to envy people like my dad who could drive (while I could not, because I wasn't old enough')

Infact, having been driving for about ten years now, nothing beats being able to drive , and to enjoy speeding along the highway (at least as far as the bad roads Government refuses to repair allow!)

Even if I become as rich as Dangote , I will still drive my own car.

You have plagiarized my mind.lol!

festacman:
From day one, loudmouth narcissistic drama king Idriss Derby has always been full of his ego. He has never fully fought alongside any other countries' army. He would go alone, suffer losses and whine like a baby. In his reckoning, it is only Chadian soldiers that can effectively defend both Lake Chad area and Sahel Region while other countries' soldiers are mere 'Boys Scout groups'. SMH

Idriss Deby showed many pictures of the battle including cache of weapons seized and where . Why hasn't he shown the video or pictures of corpses of the one thousand terrorists killed and littered around?

Idriss Derby can only bamboozle emotional Nigerians who are searching for new deity to adulate. The reality remains constant: He tolerated and harboured terrorists camps on Chadian soil against Nigeria before they killed 90 Chadian soldiers.

True. Also, where are the pictures of captured bh boys.

Coldie:
Arabs dont discriminate as much as the blacks.

Black's are like the dumbest race I have seen. Its only blacks you would see same people same tribe same language that the whites divided for administrative purposes, 50years later after the whites have left they start fighting themselves over the names the whites gave to them.

Pure dumbness

The white colonialists have reset the brain of the blacks. See what's happening in south Africa: the stupid blacks there will slaughter fellow Africans on the streets for no reason but still treat their white exploiters as demigod.

Ayoswit:
Home sweet home

Ironically, among the returnees may be dunderheads that were calling their fatherland shit hole. East or west no place like your native homeland.

How times change! It's now a curse to return to nigeria from abroad or leave our dear native land for US, UK, Europe, Dubai etc.

AFvckingAlpha:
Jesus! She's your fvcking cousin, and why would you allow her get comfortable in your room to the point she is watching porn up to the point you flirted with her. That's fvcking incest, if there was any sexual relations. And I'm guessing there was one, cos you can't be naked and tell me nothing happened. I'm not playing the blaming card, Nobody's holy, and Konji nah fvcking bastard, but something's are totally unacceptable like being sexually attracted and fvcking your cousin is crazy, you need to stop that shit!! Jesus!!

I can't but fvcking agree that you are fvcking right - the guy is fvcking wrong to even fvcking contemplate fvcking his cousin. What a fvcking time we fvcking live in.

Totilopussylick:
I’m not coming till corona go finish

Hahahaha, smart guy! Make tori no come get bow leg.

chrisxxx:
If this your trap catches something share with me on 304420093 First Bank Thanks.

You and him are birds of the same feather.

Hausaboy239:
Everyone wants to come back to Nigeria now.


Never thought i will live to witness these days!

God bless Nigeria!

Wallahi! Hallelujah! May God continue to bless our dear native land of nigeria and decimate her betrayers.

patriotic007:
?OK just 3 questions
1)why haven't we seen the clip of a single covid patient on ICU bed in Nigeria.
2)why hasn't any renowned medical personnel briefed Nigerians on what they are going through and what is happening.
3)why no pics of the dead been taken away in body bags like we see on CNN
Una dey deceive una self

You are part of "una" and therefore also deceiving yourself.

I believe scholars like ibn Taimiyya were specially gifted human beings chosen by the Almighty. If you read the full life story of ibn Taimiyya you will be amazed how a single human being could have produced scholarly works of such magnitude and excellence in a lifetime. This enigma is said to have written a certain book while in prison, quoting other books he had read copiously - all this from memory without access to the books. Ibn Taimiyya's life and death were extraordinary. He was imprisoned on many occasions for his resolute stance against shirk and injustice. He died in prison, but his funeral was an epochal event. It's reported that janaiza salat was done 9 times on account of the number of people who kept coming from different regions for his funeral. He died on 26 September 1328, and an estimated 50,000 people attended his janaiza.
El-Gazzali was another enigma. They're many others, of course.
I am thinking these scholars are not ordinary human beings given their almost super human attainment in scholarship.

helinues:
Coming from abroad used to be a thing of pride before but now, it's looking like an outcast

That's the irony of life. No sane person would want to go abroad now or even go near a person who just returned from abroad. Make everyone kuku standa for him country, after all east or west, no place like home.

bedspread:
Punch guys are Hilarious,

The President, Major General Muhammad Buhari!

They forgot to prefix Alhaji, to complete the cycle of stupidity.
