Go through my posts and you would see which side of the divide that I belong to. The fact that the APC engaged in adversarial opposition doesn't mean the PDP should toe that path. There is a need to elevate our political discourse from the debased level of inter party strives and abuse to an exhilarating height where issues germane to the growth of the country dominate our discussions.

Humm... Could this be my kind of guy?

Alright. It is too simplistic to just for the sake of being unnecessarily principled to want the present opposition to behave like a political lamb when the present ruling party have no restraint in their actions. It's absolutely simple. I will not encourage that,

All politician are the same whether APC or PDP.
All politician want the same thing. The difference is the extent to which they want it.

Having said that, it is absolutely wrong if the present opposition won't show any form of verve in opposing the rulings party be it constructively or otherwise. The Standard have been raised. Politic is now so manipulative, it's now war and all is fair in war. Besides if they don't fight, they'll die. No two ways about it. Anyone who for any reason want the opposition weakened or diluted is most unpatriotic irrespective of what he or she says.

It is in this process that a brand of politics suitable for us will evolve. It is in this process that the electorate will get the little they can as there'll be no second chance to get it right.

It is grand hypocrisy of convenience for anyone to claim that the Apc should not be opposed at all because we want to elevate our political discuss. I don't agree. Not when gloating is allowed one year after an election. Not when leadership of convergence and inclusion is impossible. Not when there seem to be no good in the past only in an imaginary prospect. Not when the opposition must be vanquished at all cost, hence keeping just one choice for the electorate. That's evil. (just like kill your brother.. we have to kill him.. He is evil... I'm the only good one)... Sorry Sir, that move or thought is the danger.

For now, we most have a standing opposition that even if we don't vote for them, their presence will make the ruling party know they are indispensable.

We don't need a lame dock opposition party. We need a vibrant party with the FORCE, VOICE, NUISANCE VALUE And PATRIOTISM in our polity. If for any reason the kind of APC opposition was good before now, it remains good even now.

There in, lies the good. If we have a soft spot for any person, fine but know that that person is not going to be there for so long. So we should be dispassionate and keep our eyes only on the ball.

Thank you.

NEHLIVE:
It's been the number one trending entertainment topic for the past one week.

After Tiwa savage’s manager and husband, Tunji Balogun A. K. A Teebillz, went on social media last week to call out his wife accusing her to have slept with Tuface, Dr. Sid and Don Jazzy, amongst other serious allegations, after which he made an attempt to commit suicide by trying to jump inside a Lagos Lagoon; Tiwa in about 48 hours also granted an interview on camera narrating her own side of the story.

In the highly emotional interview, which some people believe was staged by her PR team to attract public sympathy for her, the singer accused her husband and father of her son of cheating whenever she was not in the country, taking cocaine, stealing from her as a manager, involved in a 45million Naira fraud case being investigated by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), amongst other allegations.
Most people are of the opinion that Tiwa Savage shouldn’t have gone to the extent of revealing all the incriminating allegations about Teebillz even if those allegations were true, as doing that shows that she was bent on destroying him, when it’s obvious the man needed help; this was a man who wanted to commit suicide!

Many also faulted the parts of the interview where Tiwa Savage kept mentioning that she was the breadwinner. The truth is that men have been breadwinners from creation without anyone complaining, should it now be a big deal to some women whenever they find themselves in a position to provide for the family, due to circumstances which make their men unable to be breadwinners?

Amid her failed attempt at winning public sympathy with the interview, Tiwa was also heavily blasted by many, especially some women folk who told her to keep her mouth shut for saying she could not be the breadwinner and still have time to cook for her man; according to them there are many women in this country, who due to circumstances find themselves becoming the breadwinner and still cook for their family. Yet, their marriages are still very intact.

All in all, there are a couple of lessons to take home from the saga and one of them is the fact that Teebillz has himself to be blame for his woes because he allowed his drive for Tiwa’s success to derail him from his own personal visions (if he had any to start with)

Lesson 1: A man without a dream is dead
Tiwa confessed in the interview that Teebillz work so hard and sacrificed to see her succeed when she was trying to find her feet in the industry.
However, after she was successful, Teebillz was not able to forge ahead with his own personal dreams, instead he kept hanging on to Tiwa’s, and some women when they start doing better than the man, honestly, starts to feel that their husband does not deserve them. This was obviously one of the problems with Tiwa and Teebillz’s marriage.

Obviously, Tiwa expected him to do something with himself instead of just being her manager, when she said in the interview; “I had to pay for everything so that he can go out and hustle, and get the contracts. He didn’t have money for diapers, but he had money to have a bi-weekly haircut, had money to pay for his laundry.”
Teebillz should have taken a cue from P-Square’s elder brother and manager, Jude Okoye, who had his own record label while still managing the twins. His record label, Northside Inc, gave birth to the sensational Dancehall star, Cynthian Morgan. Jude is also into music directing and he is highly sought-after. It was this side incomes that enable Jude to have his own larger-than-life personality instead of being overshadowed by the stardom of his brothers. It was also this knowledge that gave Jude the confidence to call his brothers’ bluff during their recent drama.
Thefirst lesson is, it’s totally fine to support your woman’s dream, but never lose focus of your own dream. But unfortunately, Teebillz failed to hustle (as Tiwa put it) for his own dream.

Lesson 2: What goes around, comes around
It’s been said that Karma is a bitch! That statement can’t be any truer. The announcement of Tiwa and Teebillz’s relationship about three years ago, stirred a lot of dust owing to the fact that Teebillz was married with two children to a woman in the London. Therefore, Tiwa is believed to have snatched Teebillz from his wife and children. Teebillz himself denied his wife in the London just to be with Tiwa, a celebrity. Today, that woman has got the last laugh. Tiwa and Teebillz have now been served a hefty dose of the bitter medicine they concocted for the poor woman in the London.

Lesson 3: Before you kill yourself over any man or woman, think again

I won’t say that you should not kill yourself at all. In Charly Boy’s voice, ‘na u know wetin make you think say the solution to your wahala na to kpeme’. Teebillz wanted to kill himself because of Tiwa Savage, when their issues could have been easily resolved through dialogue. If not for the miraculous intervention of a stranger named Ani Chukwuma and Banky W and Peter Okoye who showed up in the nick of time, we would have been saying Rest in Peace to Teebillz by now. And Tiwa Savage would have still continued to shake her tiny “bumbum” in music videos and on stage even before Teebillz is buried.
Or is it not the same Tiwa whom despite the ongoing serious marriage issues, was pictured shooting a new music video with her dancers barely 5 days of the drama which almost had her husband committing suicide.

Just hours ago, Tiwa was also pictured on set of a new episode of Funke Akindele’s TV series, Jenifa’s Diary, all smiles. Although, you shouldn’t be surprised about the Funke Akindele’s part, because you know what they say about birds of a feather.
Not that one expects Tiwa to go and hang herself, but here is woman who just lost her marriage, (not a piece of jewelry) and her husband had just been rescued from committing suicide over an issue he claimed has to do with her.
What does all that implies to Tiwa? This is logically not the time to move on, but a time for sober reflection. You can move on discreetly.

Lesson 4: Never marry out of pity

Marry someone because you truly want them, not based on pity or compensation. You are meant to be with this person forever, and you shoud ask yourself if the reason for which you are marrying them can sustain your interest in them forever, even in the most violent storms of life. From the interview Tiwa Savage granted, what she said about Teebillz working hard and sacrificing for her career shows that she might have chosen to marry him because of that, or probably Tiwa Savage just wanted someone to help her produce a baby, and Teebillz appeared to be the perfect man for that purpose. If you check the part she mentioned that she told a friend the marriage was over after Teebillz Internet rant, you would realise that the marriage meant nothing to her in the first place.

Lesson 5: A rotten ingredient cannot make a good meal

Marriage is not for irresponsible people. If everything Tiwa savage said about Teebillz is anything to believe, then aside from Tiwa’s many short-comings, Teebillz’s irresponsible lifestyle is highgrade.

Just read some of her accusations; “I walked in on TJ taking cocaine in my house in 1004 (Victoria Island, Lagos). I didn’t even know he takes cocaine. I walked into the kitchen, and I saw him taking cocaine, so I screamed, and asked if that is cocaine. HE started screaming that ‘What am I doing down here, where is the cocaine?’ How can someone without money take cocaine? I called his parents and complained that I can deal with weed, but cocaine, no. So I am dealing with his alcohol problem, you come home late, infidelity, coaciane, bad debt, jealousy over my success.”

Finally, it is worthy of note that during the interview, when asked, Tiwa never denied sleeping with Tuface, Don Jazzy, and Dr. Sid, as Teebillz initially accused her of. What most people didnot observe is that, she gave a very smart and dodgy answer there by saying that she never cheated on her husband when she replied;
“I have never cheated on my husband. Not with Don Jazzy, Dr Sid, 2face Idibia or anybody. I have never cheated on my husband, and Tunji knows this. He knows that in his heart.”

The question was supposed to be whether she slept with those people her husband said she has slept with, and if Tiwa Savage slept with those people way before she got married to Teebillz, then ofcourse she never cheated on her husband.

But does that mean she has denied sleeping with Tuface, Don Jazzy and Dr. Sid?

I agree totally. I'm not interested in other comments

bejeiodus:
The PDP should have done better than its reaction to the signing of the budget. An opposition party must not be combative in its reaction to all issues. The party could simply have advised adequate implementation and the pitfalls to avoid. That is the way to play opposition politics. It isn't easy, but we will surely get used to it.

Really?
How come we didn't see all these reasoning and this kind of opposite you guys are talking about with APC.

Remember APC told their lawmakers to block the federal budget the other time because of amaechi.

thenationonlineng.net/apc-lawmakers-to-block-budget-ministers-approval/

Suddenly you guys don't want radical opposition. You want KOWA that cannot even issue a press statement on killings by Fulani herdsmen.

Wonderful.

Oluwapresley:
I'm tired of this country.. not because of the country itself but because of we the people.. but yet again, the ppl make the country.. Nigerians lack reasoning faculty! ''you have failed Nigerians- ASUU." really?? why are we always quick to make the wrong conclusions? how can we be quick to judge failure.. this govt is barely a year for crying out loud.. were we living heaven on earth b4 this administration? so why all these uncalled for conclusions.. really??
what has ASUU done for us as a country, really? smh. negative talks everytime..how can something work when everything u say about it is negative.. really? ah tire

You keep deceiving yourself and lying to yourself that this have not degenerated. You are in a horrible situation. I don't pity you. You think that ASUU man voted for Pdp? What the heck?

Oh yes people were living in heaven before this administration.. going by every reasonable indices.

Look we just have to say the truth. The ASUU chairman said the truth. It is evil to protect a government against those she is governing. The other day Oby ezekwesili spoke, some of you couldn't swallow it. Now this man have spoken, same thing. These are people who worked to enthrone this government.

Haba!!! You think we are fools?

Trump is a revolutionist and a realist who is not afraid of the truth.

tuale4u:
We must not 4get the whole Nigeria once depend on Northern Nigeria for electricity. Before the installation of gas turbines in Nigeria, the whole country from south to north depend on Kanji dam for electricity for so many years. We didnt hear of sabotage of d dam.

Yes i know we niger deltan want resource control. But what dis millitants are doing is crime and not emancipation. They are evil and are against the progress of Niger delta people.


Niger Delta Avengers does not represent the interest of Niger Delta. The shallowness of Niger Delta Avengers is becoming alarming. The truth is dat the average Niger Deltan in d street dont neccessary support sabotage. And this so called millitant does not have the interest of Niger Delta people at heart.

They are just greedy bunch of selfish people who does not care about the overall interest of Niger Delta people.

South South states are loosing billions to lagos because of all this stupidity of a selected few among my people. Almost all d big oil companies have thier headquarter in lagos. Thus our states is losing cooperate tax to lagos.

Many ships dont agree to use warri and portharcourt sea port because of these saboteurs. This is because of high level kidnapping and sea pirates in d region. Most of the ships comming to Nigeria find it difficult to get insurance cover once thier destination is warri or portharcourt. This have futher slow the economy of Niger delta.

it is time our elders, traditional rulers come out bold to condemn d actions of this few saboteurs. i see no wisdom in sabotage and destruction of our ecosystem. We are being myopic, in another 40years when d oil production bcome very low, our people will suffer starvation. We are busy spilling oil on our land by ourselves. what a self destruction!!!

Firstly, you are not a Niger deltan so forget that "we the niger" delta bullshit. It gives you up hollow.

Secondly, that those power station were sited there, should tell you how manipulative those you are holding brief for are. The same people who insisted that we must lay gas pipeline from the point of gas deposit, hundreds of kilometers away, to power up gas powered plant whereas industries are sited with nearness to resources. You think those power station couldn't have been sited elsewhere? Both water and gradient is found in other places too.

Just like taking crude oil from ND to kaduna to refine. You think that would have happened if the oil was the other way round? Abeg go Sidon jare

Besides those structures were developed, maintained and sustained from the petrol-dollar.

Okay we never heard of sabotage of Kanji dam. But we know of Boko haram.

Who will go for Kanji dam, when you have boko haram.

Look, it will be a tragedy if we wish away this boko haram issue. It will be a great evil if a REAL postmortem on boko haram is not done and documented by PRIVATE - NON POLITICAL group.

It's absolutely weak to say the area is losing billions to Lagos. It shows your grasp of things and that underscores my point that you are not a niger deltan. Lagos did not start graining the billions instead of the ND region today. Lagos have been strategically situated. The issues with the ports is high level politics because your so called negative reasons for the loss of billions in Port revenue have not stopped the country from earning billions of dollars from oil exploration in the region.

Okay the kidnapping is stopping the ports but it's not stopping oil exploration.

I don't want to go on..... Just pass

Eluwilussit:
I don't know about floating another party but I quite agree with you that Tinubu has been treated unjustly by Buhari. Mind you, I don't like Tinubu any more than Buhari. They are both disgusting characters in different ways. Still, I agree with the first part of your post, 100%. Again, I am not from the West.

I don't get you guys. The same tinubu who buhari asked to pick his VP for him? The same tinubu who nominate various stake holders including the tax boss into this government? Most of Tinubu's men are ministers. What you mean by "treating him well"

You want to "treat somebody well" yet want to fight corruption.
These emotions just have to stop.

AnotherSeun:
we all know where all this heat started from...
vomitting hate speech and planting hatred in peoples mind to commit havoc....

this country was alrdy peaceful b4, a man who sees himself as a messiah appears in the picture...
only the wise can understand this now but the foolish ones will understand at the end of it all....

It was peaceful when strangers were being singled out in the bornu market and killed

It was peaceful when an orange seller with a bomb went to mama nkechi 's food shop at sabon-gari and killed them.

It was peaceful when two persons went to young shall grow motors, sabon-gari motor Park, and bombed the two luxurious busses and killing many.

It was peaceful when churches were being bombed and the remains of people loved ones were being taken back to their states amidst tears.

It was peaceful in 2011 when NYSC members were being killed because someone who didn't campaign for votes on the south, lost an election.

The problem with you and your ilks is that you just want us to pretend as if nothing ever happened. Maybe because we have a new president. PLEASE, it's not so. Interestingly, these things did not happen in the 1960s so that people will say, the hate was passed by our parents to these generation, NO! It all happened in our very eyes.

I'm not from the south east, so you don't go into the igbo rant.

Yet the hr guys here keep telling people to research salary before coming for interview.

You can see from the responses.

Which one is rehab? What do they do there.

Can we be serious here? Those who want to bad mouth this whole thing, claiming they are buharist should back off!!!. We all can't be in the same political party. That's witchcraft if you insist on that.

This thread shouldn't bother any "buharist" or whatever they call themselves. APC is in power WE NEED A STRONG OPPOSITION PARTY IN THIS COUNTY. is that so hard for them to understand? IF APC delivers they'll be voted back. But for anyone to tell us that APC will remain the only viable party because of buhari, that person must be silly. We should just trust APC or Buhari just like that? No! Even of I don't vote in the election We must have an alternative whether they like it or not.

For those saying pdp will die. They are just being juvenile. Pdp is the biggest political brand in Nigeria even when they are out of central government. You think it's easy to build such brand and structure?

I'm not a member of any party. But I will support a strong opposition and independent candidacy too. I hate herd mentality as the majority are most times Always wrong.

TonyeBarcanista, I'd like to know the other contestants so that other people can also evaluate them. For the party spokesman, I've been seeing threads about lere olayinka or so... The man from ekiti.
We should know those going for what, so that we can lend our voices or speak to some persons who will be at the convention.

You didn't mention a name for youth leader but that of deputy youth leader.. How is that.

Good one Mr Seun.

Also consider limiting the number of nudity being celebrated on the homepage. I mean these cleavage threads everywhere. It's not what we should promote. I'm not saying ban it but we have to reduce the frequency of cleavage revealing threads on the homepage.

Such pictures affects the psyche of people. As we work towards a sexually responsible society,this regulatory aspects is very important. God bless.

Lovely I must say. I love good things I'm not a hater.
Dino is not corrupt after all.

You mean no body here can load 2k and verify?
Things are not that bad na..

Jungle journalism. This is absolutely unnecessary.

How many people will call or text the numbers for good reasons.

Do we know the phone number of the owner of saharareporters? Okay I need buhari and osinbajo 's number.

Whatever reason the have for publishing the numbers of governors is enough reason to publish that of Buhari answer Osinbajo

No problem. but never forget this. if you remove God, the devil will come in.

Jesus Christ, Please have mercy.

U dont go to any interview without arming yourself with every neccessary info about the company...and that includes the salary of the level you are being hired for. They expect you to know before coming,there are some companies that dont give a damn how much u say.they already have a unified salary scale of everyone in the same level ...but other companies usually use it against u.so if u under price ur self...they'll hire u and pay u less than ur collegues..Stanbic IBTC does that a lot... there are peeps in same level not earning same salary.... so once they ask just add a little extra to the salary info u were told.

Kapish

You are talking about stanbic bank that's big and well known. It's not easy to know what some company pay its workers because people lie about What they earn.

You may not see the right person to talk about wages in an Organization

Many years back when I was in secondary school, I had discomfort in my eyes and then I was allergic to computer screen. Very few people had computer then. Since my dad had one, I wanted to use it but experience serious eye pain.

So I decided to buy eye drop. The boy at the drug store gave me chlorophenicle, I think.. When I used it my eyes were on fire. Both of them. My parents didn't know what what was wrong with me. I think I had only previously used eye drops when I was about 4 years old. But this occasion, I think I was in Ss1. Only God saved me. The pain was too much I was really afraid.

We used sugar solution those days too.

God forbid, I do such again..

All I know is that these fulanis have the whole of sambisa forest to graze. They should go there.

Running on metal wheel will destroy it.

We all know the truth. Just that this government and their supporters just want to annihilate everything about the past government just to look good or because a different party came to power.

It's not done that way. If government is continuous then stop the bad blood.

The sponsors of these nonsense are trying to play a fast one here. They should give it up.. Most of us know what is happening.

I stopped at your post. It shows you're a deep and sincere person.

I hardly go past first page on most threads on this issue as most people just take sides immediately and proceed with their mob mentality.

In spite of their shortcomings, I believe they both loved each other, tried to make things work but forces stronger than them was at play.

Temitope, claimed she was pregnant. They can't just be enemies and still passionately make love to the extent of getting pregnant. I say this because she claimed the pregnancy wasn't planned. Unless rape and infidelity was involved.

Anyway, people should learn. But sorry, humans hardly learn.

I see them getting back together and Temitope getting pregnant almost immediately.

flamingREED:
I wonder how many of you here fear God.

Well! The ways of God are higher than the rational of carnal men.

Signaling heaven is indispensable in times of the intricacies of perils such as this.

The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom;
And don't think our wisdom often aligns with God's shrewd mind.

God can stop them, by any means he chooses; and God will choose the best methods that won't birth counter-casualties.

The spiritual controls the physical till the day you die.

Don't bother them they are scoffers who are programmed to speak against anything that has to do with God. It's the signs of the end. It will increase. If you mention prayers or God, people will pick offense.

It's part of the manipulation of the devil and people will make themselves instruments for it.

2 Peter 3:3 clear talks about scoffers at this time even verse 4, gave more details. But Psalm 1:1 blessed those who don't get involved in such.

Now how does this picture show that he is not fasting and praying about it. Did he not meet the president who is in charge of the security of the whole country to discuss about it? He has taken the right steps.

Irrespective of what the majority thinks. He can't be faulted. Also known that that there's a high level manipulation into majority view world over to advance the course of evil so be watchful. Whenever there's a bandwagon effect just know there's a manipulation.

This thread is one of such.

Lie detector. In an APC government?
Scratch that..

They told us fayose is not doing anything. Now he's commissioning projects. The same people are restless.
Abeg make una go Sidon jare. Congratulations Fayose.

Well, God dey.

He was a clueless ethnically bigoted dumbo! All the people he sent abroad for training were from his region...even Igbos wey dey shout Jona for life did not have any representations in the list of oversees trainees. The biggest mistake Igbos made in the last dispensation was to line up before this man, in so doing they sacrificed their political relevance to the Ijaws...the three major tribes in Nigeria are-Hausa, Yoruba and Ijaw!

Really?

What about the First class PG scholarship scheme.
