People should understand news before commenting. The breaking news a few weeks back said "Speaker Tambuwal's associates and colleagues pick up APC presidential form for him" it didn't say he used his own money, or neither did it say he had declared for the position! In fact it said over 50 of his colleagues purchased the form for him! After that, he thanked them and said he wasn't interested and was willing to support whomever the party nominates as it's flag bearer! Today he went to the Sokoto APC HQ with the two legs God gave him and his always shinning white attire to buy form for governorship elections and not only that, he allowed journalists to snap him o! So tell me, is it that you people that are saying he will soon buy local government chairman form don't know how to read or you just like being cynical and are hating on the gentleman?

The name of the thread/Topic should be *FG sets up committee to kill the confab report* bunch of baby ministers with no direction in the committee! Show even GEJ knows he can't implement it! Except after 2015 sha if he returms

Remember, unplug your aerials, don't shelter under trees... and if you heed the below, don't take a shower or a pee either...

Roy Sullivan of Virginia was struck by lightning seven times in his life – the most one man has ever been hit. In 1942 he lost a toenail. Then, twenty-seven years later, in 1969, he was struck again and lost his eyebrows. He was hit again in 1970, 1972, 1973, 1976 and 1977. Was he especially tall? Half man, half pylon? So many questions...

Tororo, Uganda
If you want to avoid lightning strikes avoid living here. In Tororo, Uganda, lightning occurs 251 days a year. The frequent strikes are thought to occur because of the large amount of iron in the soil. 10% of the lightning strikes result in death and 70% lead to permanent injuries including cardiac arrest, brain damage and memory loss.
This lady should come with a warning sign. Marta Maikia from Bulgaria might as well change her surname to Conductor. Her first husband, Randolph Eastman was killed by lightning two months after their marriage. Marta's second husband was killed by lightning on the spot when the couple traveled to Spain. Then, to cope with her understandable ensuing depression, Marta went to the doctors – and fell for her GP who became her third husband. And you've guessed it, he was struck too.

Brisbane, Australia
In November 2012 Brisbane, Australia was pummelled by thunderstorms so intense the city was hit by lightning 4,000 times in one hour – and 11,000 times in total in one day. Wind gusts of up to 90 kilometres per hour were reported at Double Island Point, and hail up to 6 centimetres in diameter was seen throughout the region.
There's unlucky, and then there's unlucky....In August 2010, a British teenager was struck by lightning on Friday 13th, at exactly 13:13pm. He was watching an aeronautical display at the Lowestoft Seafront Air Festival.

Christ the Redeemer, Rio
In January this year lightening broke the finger off the right hand of the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro. Was it a celestial warning perhaps of a forthcoming 7-1 defeat...?
During a football game between Bena Tshadi and visitors Basanga in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, all 11 members of a football team were killed by a bolt of lightning which left the other team unhurt. Thirty other people received burns at the match. Locals were divided on whether someone had cursed the team.

Rhineland, Germany
Talk about putting the spark back into a relationship. Jens Gottlieb, 36 and his 28-year-old girlfriend Lisa Gruhn decided to get down to a spot of hanky panky in a wood in North-Rhine Westphalia, western Germany. Not even a torrential downpour put them off – until lightning struck next to their tree and they were forced to run onto the road naked.
Essex teen Sophie Frost is living proof modern technology isn't all bad for kids. The 14 year old stopped to shelter under a tree when a storm struck near her home in 2009. She was hit by lightning and only survived because the 300,000-volt surge travelled through the wire of her iPod, diverting it away from her vital organs.

Gothenburg, Sweden
Is nowhere safe? A 12-year-old girl in Gothenburg was struck by lightning twice while taking a shower during a thunderstorm. It's thought the blast struck the house and travelled through the pipes.
At this moment I'm extremely relieved to be a woman. Croatian Ante Djindjic, 29, will be hoping lightening does not strike in the same place twice. He was knocked unconscious when lightning struck his penis during a roadside toilet break. Djindjic said: "Doctors said the lightning went through my body and because I was wearing rubber boots it earthed itself through my penis."

The bank is going through a rebranding phase I guess, not only are they reliving pple of their jobs, but they are actively recruiting younger (Fresh Graduates) and middle aged staffs (Experienced hired) dis I know because my wife and 2 of her friends were recently offered an employment with training taking place in Lagos, they are currently recruiting a large amount and the Fresh graduates @ Officer III level can earn up to 220K per month! I for one think it's a positive, Pro-active and brave move from the management of the bank! At least if they want to compete in the present banking atmosphere we have in nigeria!

Many in Nigeria today may not remember the name of Cardinal Anthony Olubunmi Okogie, but if there was any opposition to the military regimes of the eighties and nineties, the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) under him definitely represented a voice of resistance to those governments’ excesses. At a time when many people kept silent in the face of human rights abuses, Okogie faced down the military government and told them some home truths. It didn’t matter if the victims were Muslims or Christians; it didn’t matter whether they were from the north or south; CAN fought for all Nigerians. Okogie had the moral authority to act, and did so with dignity, to the admiration of all of us.
Okogie’s bravery was not unusual for CAN leaders; if anything, in the turbulent history of this country, there is a proud tradition of leaders of CAN who spoke for and stood by the people of this country. They used their moral authority to defend the rights of all Nigerians even during the most brutal military dictatorships or corrupt and inept civilian administrations. The courage of the likes of Cardinal Anthony Olubunmi Okogie, Archbishop Peter Jasper Akinola, the Reverend Sunday Mbang and Cardinal John Onaiyekan, for instance, are shining examples of faith in action, with compassion for the oppressed and chastisement for the tyrants.
It is a mark of the sad and uncertain times our country faces that we have to be reminded that previous leaders of CAN have used that platform for nobler purposes than we currently see. In spite of the corruption that blights much discourse these days, it is evident that a clear distinction exists between CAN as a body and the individual that leads it. Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor cannot be allowed to conflate himself with CAN. He bears personal accountability for the conduct and utterances that portray him as a messenger of the powerful, or as an active soldier of the ruling party. Except for the informed, the casual observer may mistake Oritsejafor for a minor protocol official of government, so pathetically has he cheapened the erstwhile integrity of the CAN presidency.
Pastor Oritsejafor’s utterances and behaviour amount to repudiation of the moral authority, fair-mindedness and high standing his predecessors invested in that office. While they spoke truth to power in the exalted prophetic tradition, he cossets and pampers the government of the day. He even champions their politics of ethnic and religious division by making unfounded allegations against opposition leaders. How else can any neutral observer rationalize his two calls for General Buhari’s arrest? In contrast, Oritsejafor was dead silent when persons that are Jonathan’s sidekicks threatened the nation with violence if he is not voted president in 2015! The dissonance between the glorious past and now is rather loud.
While Pastor Oritsejafor chose to be a subaltern to power, other men of faith rose to stem division and help the country achieve peace, efforts for which Cardinal John Olorunfemi Onaiyekan and the Sultan of Sokoto were nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. Such an esteemed global honour is a measurement of leadership quality and character; as distinct from Oritsejafor who prefers earthly gains and ostentatious lifestyle of private jets! Everyone can recall that November morning in 2012 when Oritsejafor accepted the gift of a private jet in the presence of a smiling President Jonathan.
Observers of Oritsejafor’s record should pause and ponder why the Catholic leaders took the recent unprecedented decision to temporarily opt out of CAN! It is not because Christians in Nigeria today are markedly different from those that lived in the days when Okogie, Akinola and Mbang led CAN honourably, it is because the Oritsejafor style has driven the organisation into the ignominious politics of hatred and division.
Due to how sensitive any discourse about religion has become in Nigeria, many have refrained from pointing out the errant ways of Oritsejafor, but if we are to build the Nigeria of our dreams, we must have the courage to point out transgressions against all Nigerians by people masking themselves in religious toga to create strife in the country. The truth is that Oritsejafor is neither a personalization of CAN, nor an example of the compassion, grace and modesty Christianity teaches.
A case of the descent into toxic politics is evident from the statement purportedly issued in CAN’s name in defence of Oritsejafor. The language of the statement is very similar to the gutter language usually spewed out of the Presidential Villa whenever any citizen expresses the right to question the corruption, impunity and incompetence of the Jonathan administration. The sudden attempt to assume the role of political adviser to General Muhammadu Buhari, a person that Oritsejafor has done everything to malign and smear, amounts to everything a religious organisation should not be. When purportedly religious leaders or organisations become brazenly partisan, they should not complain directly and through surrogates when they are responded to in like manner.
God’s work cannot be reduced to petty electoral calculations. Neither should those who claim to be on the Almighty’s mission indulge in base blackmail and falsehood, or encroach on God’s prerogative to bestow grace, provide final justice and avenge wrong.
Let the leaders of faith show good example when they step into the public arena. The merchants of religiosity, those who specialise in distorting the sobriety of faith into wares to be traded for political and commercial favours, should not be allowed to divide our country or to derail the diversity of our creeds and tongues into a reason for strife. Above all else, we are all human, sharing the same biology and deserving to be free and secure, whatever our beliefs and ethnic origins. In the final analysis, the needs and wants of a less privileged Christian destitute in Abia is not that much different from that of a Muslim Almajiri in Zamfara!

Most def snakes!

Someone famous once said, show me a Beautiful woman and I'd show you a man that's tired of F**king her! #Fact
