Okigwe senatorial victory has nothing to do with ikedi ohakim. Agu otu aka is a popular man

I'm praying for my uncle here

Though I can't vote because I'm in Lagos

But my parents have travelled to exercise their franchise

I believe Dee Athan aka Agu Otu Aka will be returned to the Senate.

Waiting patiently for official results

#Anwunoo

hmm

Something must be done to this with immediate effect


Meanwhile, do not forget that

THE FINAL DEVELOPER PREVIEW FOR ANDROID 7.0 NOUGAT IS OUT

http://www.gidimasters.com.ng/final-developer-preview-for-android-7-0-nougat-is-out/

How many people are using Marshmallow yet that they are even getting to Nougat?

Google needs to slow down with this Android OS thing.

Love Machine:
These men don't have an experience.

The way some Nigerians use words like "local" and "experience" makes me believe that they don't know their actual meanings.

Please those soldiers are "new intakes," or recruits if you will, so they dont necessarily need to have experience. Experience doesn't mean skill because I believe they have been trained so they have the prerequisite skill and qualifications already.

As for experience, "new intakes" acquire experience ON THE JOB. So no one expects that they have any experiences yet.

PS: Local doesn't mean something of low quality, bikonu! Local means something that is made from within that is neither imported nor foreign.

Oga, sorry I mentioned you....know that this is no attack. I did mention you because these are things I feel strongly about and you provided the opportunity for me to address them.

Thank you

Ekweremadu must answer to the allegations levelled against him. I don't understand how I ended up in this country where evil is encouraged.

No man is above the Constitution of Federal Republic of Nigeria - not even the President. If a leader breaks the law, he must face the music. It's either we fix this country once and for all or die like fools.


Nigeria must be better!

Trust these bloggers who are desperate for web traffic at your own peril. Avengers have made it clear that they are not out to harm anyone.

Any news that doesn't get posted on http://www./?m=1 is very fake. Those educated militants have made accessibility to their news so easy. Please don't fall for desperate bloggers.

Finally, violent militancy is wrong but Nigeria is long overdue for overall restructuring.

Wisdomkosi:
Seun, lalastical, please don't let this thread die. I want the governor to hear the cry of the masses please not only that of the house members

Sincerely, I understand how you feel. But if you want him to hear you people real quick, you should mobilise yourselves in your number and embark on "occupy Ebonyi" protest.

This way he will know you guys are not happy with him.

Nairaland is NOT the solution

If this trial continues and ends in the accused being thrown behind bars, indeed many Nigerians including myself will be convinced that this fight against is really a sincere one.

Abagworo:


Going by this communique I conclude that Owerri Nchise is cursed. If I were Okorocha I will carefully cut them off and focus on other parts of Owerri and imo State as well as tax anyone trading in the market heavily so that traders will relocate to other markets. How can a people be fighting development persistently for decades. Visit Douglas road and weep for them but yet they've resisted successive governments from expanding and reconstructing the road. Tufiakwa!

I'm really alarmed by your choice of word "cursed." These people have a choice and voiced out their unanimous decision - please respect that. You should mind the choice of words you use on people, please.

Just like Mandax keep saying, "Imo State isn't all about Owerri." This government should pay attention to rural areas in Imo State so as to discourage rural to urban migration. Lagos is a chaos today because of this mistake and Nigerian government (Rochas) doesn't seem to be learning from that.

Hatred can render a very intelligent man foolish

A court of law said someone committed an offense and should be removed and the next in line should be governor
My people are going to pledge loyalty to the man who committed forgery... and later we wonder why we are undeveloped and blame the North
This is foolishness in the highest order. .. next time he will be more careful

Mechie onu gi. Abia State Board of Internal Revenue has issued a statement on the matter saying it is not forged. Besides people in Abia tell me Gov. Okezie is really working

I trust another futoite to do a rejoinder asap.

Hello Nairalanders,

I want you to help me thank God. I've been job-hunting for the last one year. I finished nysc July 2nd, 2015 and got my employment letter July 2nd, 2016 (Isn't that wondeful?). Its a telecom company(Phase3 Telecom) with HQ in Maitama, ABJ and I've been hired as a Network/Field Engineer. I've been scheduled to start next month in Offa, kwara state but some things are baffling me which I seek the help of nairalanders for .

1. I will like to be enlightened on the living standard of Offa (Stayed in Ilorin for some years though)

2. Like how expensive is rent in Offa?

Thanks...

OP, quick advice: be weary of how much of personal information you give online because you don't know who's who.

Congratulations!

As regards your Offa question, I am so sorry I have no idea.

When I learnt their preachers are the most heartless amongst soldiers, I asked what then do they preach?

If D'Banj had married Genevieve Nnaji they would have been the biggest celebrity/power couple in Nigeria just like Jay Z and Beyoncé. But alas that didn't happen!

And the pay back thang continues. Buhari and co ruined GEJ's efforts with Book Haram menace and now the Avengers are paying him back in his own coins. Right now, Ben Bruce and northerners will understand that the wealth of Nigeria lies mainly in southern manpower and resources.

If Niger Delta bleeds, Nigeria and Nigerians cry. Ooh, Niger Deltans are indeed invaluable!

Buhari, over to you...

DharmyYinks:
Ladies with nose rings and cows...

If only Jacob Zuma knew that no day passes without his picture appearing on Nigeria's Nairaland...

Is it the same CBN that has been recruiting politicians' children that is now warning banks? Did they not realize that TSA has really distablised many banks? Nigerian banks are in a big mess right now

quid:
So these actors and actresses are wearing Igbo caps so as to implicate Igbo people . . .yeye dey smell.

It is not only the Igbo's that wear the cap - part of Akwa Ibom does too.

OP, you raised very salient points I must say. But you really need to work on your use of English for anyone to take you seriously as a blogger. Well, I tried so hard to overlook it, but some people may not.

Egbabiekperemo:


has it being proven that saraki is guilty of the crimes he is accused of? how can he step down for offences that havent being proven at the law court?? sometimes i wonder the brain composition of 90 percent of the people on nairaland. No wonder 90% of Nigerian graduates are unemployable.

****cheers

****In decent democracies when people are "accused of corruption" they step down from their position to "clear their names." They don't wait to be sentenced.

I wonder when you **** in Nigeria and Africa would start thinking like that.

Evans Enwerem was alleged to have forged his certificate and was asked to step down as Senate President in 1999 and he did. Adolfus Wabara was accused of education related corruption and he stepped down. Please what is stopping Saraki from doing the needful?

Tomorrow they will say Igbos like money and power more than every other tribe in Nigeria.

Who is fooling who?

Dahveydson:
LOL

Look at ekweremadu in Igbo native attire seeking to elicit sympathy and support from Igbos who have not benefited anything from him in his 8 years in NASS.

Baba carry your cross o

Shut up! Are u from Enugu? People love him because of his good heart and willingness to change the lot of his people.

Stop spewing trash on social media

My Igbo and South South brothers need to calm down and give this government a chance to make Nigeria great again.

topmostg:
the subject says it all... I'd like to know how much they earn monthly as salaries excluding whatever gains they make from illegal frauds they dole out to customers.....

#somemone pls shed some light

Just know that it is not fixed. A petrol station owner determines how much to pay them. But on average they earn btw 10 - 20k. And most times they work by shifts

I noticed it too. People's sufferings had better be worth it. Nigerians are really suffering and smiling

Good move. Buhari don dey try!
Bravo!

The collabo between Phyno and Olamide shows that if Igbos and Yorubas unite, they would do greater things in this world.

If Buhari dies (but God forbid), Osinbajo will be sworn in as President but I don't see him going beyond 2019. Because if he insists, all PDP needs do is to get a northern presidential candidate and lo and behold, what happened to GEJ in 2015 will happen to Osinbajo in 2019.

But the good news will be that he tasted the honey pot - and will be addressed as a former president. Remember Pa E.A. Adeboye once prophesied that a Redeemer will be the president. That could be Osinbajo

I think EFCC officials are picking up the wrong people. How long is it going to take them to pick up T.A. Orji aka Ochendo Global?

Just like a typical Nigerian politician, Gov Ikpeazu is trying so hard to impress in this first tenure so as to "qualify" for a second tenure and loot taxpayers' money.

He should fix Abia State roads esp those in Aba first because their roads are among some of the worst in Nigeria before releasing the vehicles. Port Harcourt Road used to be my worst nightmare when I lived in Aba.

Kudos to him though
