Abagworo:Let us just be realistic. All the sectors you've just mentioned had all been influenced directly or indirectly by GEJ'S local and foreign policies. Do you know the essence of making policy? Government policies can even influence the price of coke, garri and the least things in our local market talkless of the macroeconomy. |
Abagworo: |
majekdom2:As a citizen what part have you played to combat corruption? Its been long I stopped looking at the top alone. There's añ African adage that says: A man can not climb a tree from its top. This leaders are all products of our society. Even if you remove GEJ the next one will still be corrupt because he'll be taken from our corrupt society. Listen, the problem is just our value system. How many parent these days will ask their children questions when they find something that doesn't belong to them in their hands? Have you ever seen two people fighting on the street and you call the police? Have you ever seen a money that doesn't belong to you on the ground and you left it? People are now given chieftancy titles in absential, as long as you have the money irrespective of how you got it. Even if Buhari becomes the next president things will still be thesame because he'll be surrounded by thesame sets of people like Amaechi. |
majekdom2:If you go to those states that were given Federal Universities and tell them that they don't need it they might linch you. Do you know the essence and importance of Federal Universities in most of these remote states? The intellectual importance, economic value and infrastructural development are immeasurable. We are growing at our own pace. Where was South Africa when we overtook them economically? Personally, as a Nigerian graduate from a Nigerian university I can stand any South African graduate in any area of my field of study. |
We just have to be patience |
majekdom2:Can you distinguish Ethics from Politics? My bro, what is morally wrong can never be politically right. That's why our politicans fail because they separate Ethics from Politics, these are inseparable. |
majekdom2:Listen my bro, GEJ stated it categorically in his new foreign policy that he's going to start looking inward. It's in his tenure that Nigeria becomes the largest economy in Africa. He built schools for the almajiris, something that even all the Northern Leaders could not do. He gave some state Federal Universities. Automobile industry is waxing stronger, now we have locally made vehicles. My mum went to the market to buy a a bag of rice that was normally sold for 10,500 naira but she bought it for 8000 naira. Morethan 1/3 of the rice we consume are made in Nigeria but you don't know. What about our Federal Roads? Throughout OBJ's tenure he could not reconstruct the Benin-Ore Road, just go and check its state now. In fact, the list is endless. Moreover, you can never find development where there's instability but Gej broke that jinx. Despite the insecurity we are still moving. The insecurity he didn't cause. The only area I know we've not felt him much is in power, but he's coming. One step at a time. |
majekdom2:I can tell you the lecturers names, where he lives, the course he teaches, the position he's occupying presently in the department and his state of origin. It happend in a seminar at Ibanigo Hall in Uniport. Achebe was invited but he couldn't come but he sent his son. The seminar was mainly for Humanity Students. The subject was: The Role of English in the Development of African Tradition. Amaechi was given añ avenue to speak as añ alumni of the English department but he came up and started insulting a professor. |
majekdom2:We don't need to build new rail but to revive the old one. A friend of mine always board a trail from Lagos to Kwara State. He had some beautiful pics with a nice setting that I always admire. But I was so shocked when he told me that those pics were taken in a trail. Our rail is functional but most people don't know. There's also an ongoing massive rail project going on now between FG and ECOWAS in Lagos. |
majekdom2:Young man I've graduated and started working in APM if you care to know-- the of Grace God. Amaechi is a tout who has no respect for his elders but he cherish respect and want people to fear him. A man whose mind is beclouded by his own ambition. I don't think you've seen Amaechi in his real clothing. He has no character. If you've gone to Rivers State Government House and see him talking to elders rudely you'll know he's a confirm tout that Odili groomed. Amaechi knows that the only person that can throw some spanners into his works is Wike. We the Riverines don't care about the zoning for now we just want someone to undo Amaechi for us... |
majekdom2:Is it the monorail that he started since the beginning of his tenure which he had not completed yet billions had gone? Our colonial masters built rail all over the country just within a short time but Ameachi's own is taking eternity. It was PDP that gave him the platform. He was a PDP governor for seven years and there's no way he had not benefited from the graces of PDP. Listen, Amaechi's real problem with the presidency is not that Goodluck is under-performing, but, his real problem is that he's so obsessed about being the VP. He's indeed entitle to throw in his hat but since he has lost his hat in this process he should be civil enough not to claim someone else's hat with his pull-him-down-syndrome. |
Amaechi is so scared of what is going to happen immediate he leaves office. What he's just doing now is throwing his last punches just like a tired boxer who's about to lose his fight. He's giving all he has. Amaechi can spend billions now inorder to raise foot soldiers against the presidency. If Goodluck loses Amaechi knows he's a free man but if Goodluck wins he also knows the implication... Behind bars. If na you shey you no go fight till the end? |
It takes only a fool to believe Amaechi. Amaechi that came to my school and insulted my lecturer whose course he failed as an undergraduate. Amaechi had never been a good follower and he can never be a good leader. One funny thing about him is that he always tell the world that he's being subjugated, dehumanized, derelegated and insulted by the presidency, but he does alike to his subordinates. Amaechi bullies everybody in Rivers State except Joseph Mbu and Wike... |
This is the question wise political thinkers often ask Amaechi: How many project did you do while in PDP and how many have you done since you left for APC? Comparative Analyses. Please critically analyse beyond the boundaries of sentiment. |
Please does anybody has Oshoala's number? |
This man is not taking any side na. He's just scared of the unknown... |
All this because you the honest people that are given the privilege of strengthening the Armed forces left it to meddle in politics. We thus lost everything. Neither the power nor the security. A believer is not stung from the same hole twice. Men used your innocence before to get power and dump you. Please be sensible today. Some other men still want to use you to get power and surely they will dump you again. You don’t share the same philosophy at all. Even though as I explained later, your obsession and philosophy of fighting corruption is not the priority of Nigeria today. What Nigeria needs utmost now is peace and stability? This can only be achieved when the religious ethnic and regional divide is tamed. And you can only tame it with people without much precedence. People without much following. Yet people that are constructive and have the ability to control men. If Sardauna today is alive in your situation he will never contest for the presidential seat because of his deep understanding of what the nation needs. He will step down for a more acceptable younger person. It’s on record that Sardauna even at the age of under 60 said he was not going to contest again, preparing his only house in Rabah for retirement. I’ll give you a similitude to buttress my point of priority. A person seriously injured and fractured from a road traffic accident when brought to the emergency room, the first priority of the doctors is to secure an intravenous line. Meaning get a drip set working into his veins to protect his vital organs like the heart and kidneys from the effects of shock and loss of blood. The fractures, even though serious and the source of the blood loss, may take days and weeks before they are even attended to beside the superficial dressings. Nigeria now needs peace and stability first. Then we talk of good governance later even though it’s the source of the predicament we are facing. The present government has already charged the situation and played the religious divide to its advantage. It’s in circulation now, a SW pastor calling on Christians and the church to vote Jonathan as their only Saviour. This religious card will be used to cover his deficiency in governance. Your Excellency, you should understand too, that many, if not most of your supporters, are also looking up to you to protect them from the onslaught on their religion and region. This also the Christian will never believe the otherwise. Therefore the stage is set for religious confrontation which is the least the nation needs. What we need as a priority is peace and stability. From my view, if APC can support as an example Ameachi or Okorocha/Kwankwaso or El-Rufai or Tambuwwal ticket and the PDP will have Akpabio/Muazu or Ribadu or Shekaru, the next four years will. – insha Allah – witness stability both in the north and south. And the electoral body will get the necessary infrastructure that subsequently the next election will be free and fair and the true reflection of Nigerians. If you may ask, why can’t this same peace be achieved with you and another Christian running mate? Gen. you have antagonist, and they are many and also as ardent as your supporters. Your supporters have the biggest proportion of the underprivileged of the society which is the petrol that can be easily ignited by the slightest spark. The spark will be when you’re declared the loser. And you know you can very well lose if the Christians follow their church -and why not in this era of mediocrity. On the other hand if Jonathan comes back. BH will be real not the political one we see. The turmoil will engulf the whole country not only the north. That is why I also call on PDP to present some other candidates. My brother in Islam, please listen to the words of wisdom. And don’t follow the whims of the riffraff. Before they used you the first time to disrupt the second republic, my father advised you against it. Today I am also advising you against contesting in the 2015 presidential election because you will be used to ignite the nation -a dream well orchestered several years ago- and also be used by bad people as a ladder to grab regional and local powers. I rest my case here. My best regards and condolence for your recent loss. May Allah guide you and protect you from the evil men and the jinn. Amin. |
A Kaduna-based renowned Islamic cleric, Sheik Ahmed Gumi, has called on a former Head of State, Muhammadu Buhari, not to contest the 2015 presidential election. The cleric rather suggested that Mr. Buhari should back a younger person to run for the position. In an open letter to the former head of state, posted on his Facebook page, Mr. Gumi argued that age is not on the side of the retired general and that politicians were only using him to get to power because of his popularity among the masses. He also said a Buhari presidency would further polarise the country and worsen the security challenges the country is grappling with. “My brother in Islam, please listen to the words of wisdom,” Mr. Gumi said. “And don’t follow the whims of the riffraff Before they used you the first time to disrupt the second republic, my father advised you against it. Today I am also advising you against contesting in the 2015 presidential election because you will be used to ignite the nation -a dream well orchestered several years ago- and also be used by bad people as a ladder to grab regional and local powers.” When contacted by PREMIUM TIMES, Mr. Gumi confirmed writing the letter. He said it was his own contribution to peace building in the country. “I have to write him (Mr. Buhari) that letter because we don’t want crisis in Nigeria,” he said. Mr. Buhari last week formally declared his intention to seek the APC presidential ticket at a well-attended rally in Abuja. The following day, he obtained the party’s nomination forms. Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar is also seeking the same ticket just as Kano state Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso. Below is Mr. Gumi’s full message to Mr. Buhari. Assalamu Alaikum The Humble People’s General. I know I have access to you privately but this is meant for others to learn also. The Prophet -peace be upon him- told one of the most honest and truthful of his companions, Abu Zar Algafary: “Oh Abu Zar, I truly love for you what I love for myself. I indeed see that you are weak so never accept to lead even two people and never accept safekeeping of the orphans wealth.” An honest and candid advice from the prophet that is still valid today for any leader whose weakness borders on leadership qualities. The reason for Abu Zar’s weakness has nothing to do with his credibility or truthfulness. Never! The prophet was narrated as saying: “there is nobody under the shadows of trees or bare sun that is more honest in speech than Abu Zar”. Abu Zar – May Allah be pleased with him- is ascetic and inmaterialistic. Abu Zar is incorruptible. And yet he is not suitable for leadership. I am not claiming to be even by an atom’s weight anything close to our noble prophet, yet I am encouraged to give you these same advice by the virtue that you are not also close to Abu Zar in piety. We are living in a time of great tribulations and fitnah especially for this Ummah because of our collective iniquities, ignorance of religious instructions and the love of Dunyah. Sir, your weakness is not in your past impeccable record of accountability of public wealth and the fight against corruption and indiscipline. Your weakness is in your inability to control men compounded further by your strict and obsessive rejection of corruption. Don’t be surprised. You may need to understand that Islam being a pragmatic religion allows the use of Zakkat and public wealth as an instrument to pacify and lure influential people for the sake of righteousness, peace and stability. In modern governance today it translate to security vote. Thus men are also controlled by money. So if your policy of governance is obsessibly centered on sealing tight the use of money, you will have great problem with men. An Arab poet said: “A fool cannot be the leader of his people but the true leader of the people must feign foolishness”. It’s convenient for your ardent supporters to quote copiously from the annals of history your great achievements but when your failures and weaknesses were pointed out they say that was in the past. Is the lessons of past history only good for the positive achievements? Doesn’t that also explains our incessant failures? Your Excellency, good intentions are never enough. In the past, because of your clean records and straightforwardness you were lured by men who want only the vanities Dunya to uproot a young democracy on the caprices of fighting corruption. Corruption is no doubt an evil but there is a more monstrous evil than corruption. That is turmoil and insecurity. Peace and stability are the most important part of governance that no price is to high for them. The lack of peace, stability and security is the major predicament of this nation since independence. So when you were |

The Confederation of African football (CAF) will have to shop for a new host for the 2015 African Nations Cup as hitherto hosts, Morocco, announced on Thursday that they are no longer willing to host the bi-annual football tournament. The North African country, who interestingly will be hosting the FIFA World Club tournament, had earlier asked CAF to postpone the tournament due to the spread of Ebola virus in parts of West Africa. However, the continental football body insisted that the tournament would go ahead in January 2015 as originally scheduled. It was in this light that Morocco has now informed CAF that the tournament poses health and security risk to its citizens if it should hold on the earlier agreed date. And since both parties could not reach a compromise, they are no longer interested in hosting the competition. Morocco’s withdrawal puts CAF in a desperate position. With less than three months to go to the kickoff of the competition, the continental football governing body is yet to announce replacement for the North African country. Already, host of the 2013 edition, South Africa are said to be on standby to host the tournament while Ghana is also said to be ready to host the football showpiece. |
immediately most humans start succeeding devil will start injecting pride in them and they'll start thinking that they don't need anybody's help, even God's. Keshi was good until he started thinking that he's irreplaceable. You need to be dynamic in order to survive in this dynamic world where permanent struggling is the law of life. He that refuses to learn from even little things will end up knowing nothing. Farewell Okechukwu Keshi. |

[quote author=Abbey2sam]The truth is that there are some Igbos who are bent on destroying the nigeria movie industry.... Though people like Kunle Afolayan and obi omeloyen are trying their best. But igbos no go gree[/quote It's a Nigeria factor don't particularize it please. I have seen alot of Yoruba and Igbo movies with funny names. Marketers are not so much concern about the name but the money value. Your sisters, your mothers, and your wives are the ones patronizing the market. I kept wondering why tribal comments and hate speeches use to have more LIKES than even unifying speeches. One dey una go hear sey una papa don die and una go still PRESS LIKE.

Live on NTA. Atiku Abubakar is formally declaring his intention to aspire for the highest office (the Presidency)in the platform of the APC... Your views |
I have been in such relationship so many times. Most of these ladies take these religious guys for granted because of their religious stands and moral compass. Most of my friends that always jagged these ladies always have them so loyal and attached immediately after sex. The real truth is that, if you've met a good and virtuous lady you'll realize that sex is just secondary. Relationship is like the two sides of same coin. Although it's not marriage, that's the more reason the efforts to sustain and maintain it should be from both sides. You can enjoy it without sex, believe it or not. Sex will not make you one with him/her, but trust, hope, faith, teamwork and love. Just try never to associate sex with love and you'll understand what I'm talking about. |
I look before I leap. I critically analyse issues and I don't hastily generalize. In my course of study I have discovered that indeed Nigeria graduates, youths and the so called learned people are nothing but dangling modifiers. They follow you anywhere you drag them to without asking questions as long as it appeases their bias mindset. I call them 'anywhere belle face'. I'm using this medium to announce to the members of the public that our media outlets had proven themselves before now to be unreliable, untrusted, inundated, gullible and unequivocally inept and unethical. I bet you, this flickering candle light victory the Nigeria Forces are maximizing is detrimental to their evil business and great hunger for publishing negatives which has left the unintelligent man skating on thin ice. I'm championing a new course known as: Read, Critically Analyse before Commenting (RCAC) |
And if you've read this article somewhere else bring it up and I'll stop using nairaland. Otaaje! |
That is what you've just done. Learn to appreciate, even when you can't do same. |
GOOD GIRLS & BAD GUYS Why do most good girls love bad guys and bad guys end up ruining good girls? I've asked lots of ladies this same question. I giggled at some answers and chuckled at some. I laught at some and wept at many. Bellow were their answers: First Lady: It's nature. Second Lady: That's how God wants it. Third Lady: I don't just know why but I've been in such situation before. Fourth Lady: It's true but I don't really have an answer. Fifth Lady: Good girls fall in love with them because the bad guys don't pretend. Sixth Lady: Bad guys can protect us. Seventh Lady: I wish that I can turn back the hands of time. Analyses: I'm of the school of thought that so much believe that man is indeed a free moral agent. We attract most of the things that happen to us, both good and evil. The fact is just that most of these so called good girls are foolish, feeble-minded, and gullible. The religious ones wear scarfs on their heads and bury their ears and totally ignore the voice of reasoning. They go to church everydayand still fall victim everyday. But, they would have been jagged so many times by Kingkongs (bad guys) before they finally find solace. I just want to wrong their postulations. First, no scientist, no Sociologist or Socio-anthropol ogist had ever proven that nature plays prank on good girls. It's crystal clear that good girls play prank on themselves. Second: God can not wish you bad. The Bible says: Listen! Wisdom is calling out in the streets and market place, calling loud at the city gates and wherever people come together. Prov 1:20. As Christians you ought to learn from the mistakes of the foolish not vice versa. Wisdom is everywhere waiting for you to grab him. God has made wisdom available for all who wants it. But first, you must desire it, crave for it and go get it. Third, you must not learn from your own mistake. Wisdom is everywhere just like the Bible says. So, you can learn even from your own mother's mistakes. But it's pure lie if you say you don't know why. The answer is wisdom, and you lack so much of it. Fourth, alot of humans know that they're on the wrong track. Alot of people know that they are going astray yet they don't see anything wrong with it. That thing that kills attracts most. We all WANT someone around us but we all NEED the Word of God to make up everything around us. Fifth, If the bad guys look so real to you why didn't you end up with him? Or, if you've ended up with him then why are you always complaining that you didn't know that he's like this or like that? It means that he was neither real nor fake (confused). You knew that he was bad but you were too foolish to tell yourself the truth. You thought you could change him? You be God? Sixth, can these bad guys actually protect you? In what area can they protect you? You want to turn him to Spatacus? If you really want a Spatacus please prepare for so many orgy. And don't complain when he abuses you cause your brothers aren't gladiators. Your protection can only come from the Lord who madeheaven and earth. Seventh, you can't turn back the hands of time cause you can't get your virginity back. You can't turn back the hands of time cause if it was possible you could still be foolish. Time like they say heals, but God the creator of time forgives and renews. Come to Him |
Sincerely I don't miss anything. Instead, remembering her makes me have lots of regrets for ever meeting someone like her. She personally allowed her niece to destroy our relationship. She frustrated all my efforts to make her happy, though she has apologized. They share so many things in common even their facebook pages. And I only knew at the end that most of the discussions I've had online, both romantic ones and otherwise were with her niece. The niece tells her when to fall inlove and when not to. Even the niece knew the things we both discussed in the dark hours. It got to a stage that I was wondering whether they are... |
