This EFCC Twitter handler is just brilliant. He sure will be headhunted by other organisations very soon.

And how I wish we could get to see his picture and even know his name. It would be so interesting!

emmykk:
if when MKO mandate was cancelled they didnt do anything there is nothing yoruba can do about breaking nigeria....they are the fear fear people of Nigeria

My dear, how old are you? You probably are too young to know what NADECO is. Why did you think Obasanjo was quickly sought out to govern Nigeria? It was to pacify the Yorubas that were so angry that Abiola's mandate was cancelled and the man was later killed in prison. Let your older brothers/sisters or your parents tell you what NADECO did to frighten even a Military government!

mechanics:
the man should just take him as his adopted son, since he has spend so much on him, i dont think the son will forget the man at this stage.

Not because he has spent so much on him but because there is a bond of love and closeness between the man and son that nothing can stop. It will be difficult for the young man to stop referring to the old man as his Dad and vice versa. In all honesty, a child's parent/s is the person or persons that raised the child. That is why some children are closer to their grandmother or their aunts or whoever raise them than to their biological parents.

grandstar:
Very sad.

Its quite common these days.

Its best men secretly take a DNA test of all their children to ascertain their DNA. Better to know early than die of a heart attack when old!)

Running a DNA test on New born babies should be routine in all our maternity hospital/wards. A lot of men nurture children that are not theirs biologically.

Standing5:
I repeat, this man isn't fit for a power minister.
How can u say people will pay more when it is more stable?
Is he saying the cost of generation per KwH of 'stable' power will be higher? It should be cheaper even, because vandalism cost will be gone. Fashola is fit for flower and not power. He is after money and has proven it again.

You got it twisted. What the Minister said was that more people will be willing to pay if the supply of light is reasonably constant. The reason most people don't pay their electricity bills is because they have used the money budgeted for Disco bills to buy petrol for their generators.

But I'm surprised that the Minister didn't talk about compelling the Discos to provide Prepaid meters. It is one sure step to solving a lot of power problems!

doublewisdom:
And how much did he Sanusi steal under Jonathan?

To me, the worst culprit in this matter is Ngozi Okonjo Iwela. As the Finance Minister at that time, she cannot say she didn't know that such massive looting was going on. Like Sanusi, she said she raised alarm but the most effective way to have called the attention of the whole world to the Stealing was to have RESIGNED and say why she did so. Instead, she stayed and supervised the stealing that was going on left, right and center. There's no how she can beat her chest and say she did not partake in the unprecedented Stealing!

kerryjossy:
I love every book of the New testament especially Romans and Hebrew. They will give u deep insights for Christian life.

You are so on point. God bless you!

tinkinjow:
There's no musical instrument that annoys me like that thing Adeboye is holding. I hate it. There's nothing musical in that instrument...its just noice in the crudest form.

I quite agree with you...... am laughing!

Centralising Electricity called Central Power Grid is the major problem of power generation, transmission and distribution in Nigeria and until the whole Power System is decentralised, the problem will continue regardless of whoever is the Minister of Power or the amount of money spent to improve the system!

GOFRONT:
People are shoutin buhari's too old to Rule. They need youngman to Rule....Una tink say to Rule Nigeria na beans??

If u like be as strong and fit as John cena......Nobody can rule Nigeria as a country.....Nigeria's problem is more dan wat an ordinary Humanbeing can handle.....

That is why people are calling for total Restructuring of Nigeria!

BEENUEL:
very confuse right now

But baba celebrated 16th wedding Anniversary with his boo? So what's the 30th child birthday about.....maybe adopted sha

RMD had children before marrying Jumobi, his current wife.

Businessideas:
What's this man saying? Is it discos that blew up gas pipelines delivering gas to power plants? Why can't people say the truth in their life? The power plants are down because they don't have gas and if no power is generated,how does he expect them to deliver electricity to homes? He should hold the senators from the Niger Delta responsible for not doing enough to stop bombing of gas pipelines in their constituencies.
For the past few months, I am yet to finish the Kilowatts of electricity I loaded on my meter because there's hardly light and I wonder how the discos manage to survive when we their customers have not recharged for months yet someone is still blaming them?
It's not their fault and as a matter of fact,they're more of victims of intense political power play. I support the government's move to move over to hydro power generation since the gas power plant is at the mercy of the miscreants that called themselves militants

What caught my attention is the paragraph where you said you have not exhausted your meter credit in months and you wonder how the discos manage to survive.

My dear, I can tell you for free that the discos survive on Estimated Bills. That is the reason they (Discos) especially Ikeja Disco, do not want to reduce the number of people on Estimated bills by providing prepaid meters. When they can make the majority of Nigerians pay for darkness, why would they want to buy energy from Gencos to supply to you. All Nigerians on Estimated Bills must reject this MENACE by saying enough is enough!!!

MemphisDepay:
nairaland is just boring these days

You can say that again!!

Saintesquire:
That our salaries are in Naira? And that we are
Not importers? So what's our business with high exchange rates? These are the kind of utterances coming from our leaders. I am ashamed of them. In fact I am ashamed of you Tinubu. This is a sheer display of ignorance

Much as I understand the problems the Buhari administration inherited from the last Government, I really don't expect Tinubu to utter those statements. Is he not an Accountant? Perhaps the people that said Tinubu has 'Toronto' certificate are right because a real Accountant will not talk the way he did. It showed lack of basic knowledge in economics!

FrancisDiote:
North is not ready, that man is just exercising his mouth. If truely they are ready, nigeria would have broken up.

You are sooooo right!

Oladimejyy:
I wont click any stupid "LIKE" and no Heaven will fall.
i cant stand with 2baba.i cant stand with Buhari.i want God to stand with us(Nigerian)

Sooooo funny. Am laughing!

alizma:
Jonathanians will still call it witch hunt.

That is the SAD part of it all!

AngryNigerian:
Your name suppose be clown

You are the real clown. donfemo has made a very valid point. Are you not living in Nigeria?Can you really overspeed on any road in Lagos for example?

donfemo:
Our Bad roads alone is a speed limit, i don't understand what FRSC is doing

Precisely! With the traffic congestion in all the major cities in Nigeria and the bad state of most of these roads, is it really possible to overspeed? The only time one can overspeed in the cities will be from 11pm-12am when the roads are clear of traffic.

caesaraba:
Exactly. The roads became neater and JUTH and Jankwanu became less populated. Plus, the cost of alternative transportation even reduced. I miss Jos abeg.

That is what Lagos state should do but they are afraid of losing 2nd Term elections. People's health is not a priority.

SpecialAdviser:
I really think Yorubas should be more aggressive just like the Igbos in confronting this northern domination .

History has shown that we cannot achieve anything tangible voting and hoping for something miraculous.

The north has always opposed anything that will ensure speedy progress in Nigeria just because of their fear for break up.

Time to confront them with two options is here. Either restructure or break up.
Let me also explain further. Have u ever imagined what it will look like, having having Yorubas pour out in protest to demand for Oduduwa Republic just at the time Igbos are demanding for Biafra republic?
I bet u, the north will call for a round table discussion. Their best bargain will be restructuring. That is what I mean by more aggressive.

The sad part of this struggle is that the the South West and the South East/South South are not united in the demand for the Restructuring. The greatest advantage of the North over the South is that the South of Nigeria is not speaking with one VOICE. Already, the South East has shifted their focus on 2023 Presidency as if the North will allow it to happen. The South never learn from history. It's a Shame!

[quote author=distilledwalex post=53273525]No autopsy done on any of the body.. Something must have av gone wrong.. Either some form of contamination somewhere or something. . Nothing spiritual anyway! [/quote Maybe the water they use! Something might have contaminated it in the course of time!

queenitee:
Is that also a reason for the economic misfortunes they suffer?

Yes. If you don't live well, as in sleep well, your body cannot function optimally and that means your work or business will suffer.

ednut1:
truth is the so called old men are beta than the younger ones. Nigeria is beyond redemption abeg. even is Jesus was our president the system will ensure he fails

Meaning.. Nigeria needs Restructuring!

SweetBoyFriend:


What a stupid question

Androids are better than Apple phones and you want to compare Androids to Window phones

Ur image would have been better portrayed if you did not add the first sentence to your post. To ask for knowledge is not stupid. The stupid person is the one that cannot answer questions politely!

MisterGrace:
This guy's and made so many enemies as a result of the war against corruption.

I am not surprised that they want him dead.

But God Almighty will give him strength and long life to continue the war against corruption. It is the corruption of the past Administrations, especially GEJ Government that has brought Nigeria to this sorry state and NOT President Buhari.

BlinkyBling:
Just put fresh charcoal inside the hood. Of your car and you"ll Neva see dem again!!

Really? Please tell us more about it and how effective!

MrSly:
A very porous defence. Nothing on earth can justify those barbaric verses.

Especially when the readers/users of the Koran are carrying out all the instructions of those Satanic Verses in full. What a religion of Terror!

Instead of Mr Peter Obi to call a spade a spade and say Nigeria needs restructuring, he is speaking in tonques because he is afraid of offending some people.

FreeGlobe:
Will afonjas support igbo presidency? Obasanjo is merely speaking to justify rotation in ogun state. Even obasanjo will not support igbo presidency.. Meanwhile is this a confirmation that obasanjo will no be supporting buhari in 2019?

Your last statement/question is the REAL message of OBJ.

PETUK:
Lemme clarify this as an Akwa Ibomite, the only problem here is the Governor's hand in the pocket, we don't Prostrate to people (Human) as we consider it an act of Worship

Even if prostrating is not your culture, what about a bow? When the Prime Minister of UK greets the Queen of England, he shakes her hand and bows (bends his head downwards) at the same time. Prostrating or bowing to greet elders, traditional rulers or people holding positions of authority is not an act of worship but an act of courtesy!

Seunpaul01:
One question that needs answering.

What will happen if the oil firm finish repairing the refinery? Will they take over? Does repairing it means it has been sold to them?

The reason successive Federal Government give for not selling the refineries is that they don't want to sell them as scraps. Yet once the refineries are refurbished, the Government will neither privatise nor sell it (them).

The truth of the matter is that there's a high powered cabal benefiting seriously from those refineries and it has been going on for decades!
