Abeg I need too. Ugochukwudr@yahoo.co.uk

It strictly depends on their background. I'm dating a teenage girl. She has a nice upbringing, very respectful. She might be immature but that's why I'm there to cover her 4cup. I love the way I'm teaching her alot of things. The age difference and intellectual gap makes me more relaxed. And, she's also enjoying the fact that I always have answer to almost all questions. I really wish us well, but, I've always prepared my mind for the unknown...

Naturally I just admire this man. But I can smell little gender inequality in his speech... Anyways, God knows best. A man of God once told me that I shouldn't come to the church because of him, that he can or may disappoint me, but God can not. With this I stopped looking to the Mountains (men of God) but to God who made heaven and earth. Psalm 121

Indeed our level of reasoning differs alot. And with this I've realized that academic qualification does not equate wisdom. These are the questions myopic and low level thinkers with tribal bigots have refused to ask: (1) If these men were Boko Haram sponsors would they (Boko Haram) have the guts to expose them and block their conduits pipe for funds? (2) Did Boko Haram start before, during or after the tenure of these men? (3) Did the Federal Government actually asked Davies to negotiate? (4) If it was actually the government that contracted Davies then why didn't he report to his contractor--- Government. (5) If he was contracted to negotiate for the Chibok girls then why did he deviate from the right course?

The opposition party and some northern elites are capable of any mischief in their quest for power. It won't cost them anything to hire foreign media let alone local ones in order to denigrate the presidency.

Blame the next man syndrome--- the coloured man's sickness.

[quote author=SirShymex]I just watched the whole interview - and some crazy shiit is about to happen.

The white man saved black people by speaking the truth and exposing the real sponsors.
This isn't going to end well, Northern Nigerians are the most vengeful people out there.[/quo

Listen dear, there's no longer the one indivisible north. The Jos man is more enlighten likewise the Benue man. With what is happening in Jos, and other Middle-Belt state do you think these minorities are ready to die for the Fulanis? Do you think we don't have good peoples even in the core north? Do you think the South Westerners or the South South are ready to fight? Without these people put together, I guess it's just a suicide mission if they are planning to replicate what happened in 1967.

If Nigeria was an ideal society some commentators would have been charged for hate speeches. It's common with the coloured man--- blame the next man
syndrom. An African man will barely takes responsility of his actions. 'If no be devil cause am e go be winch from my village.'
It's only when African leaders and the citizens learn how to say: I'm responsible and I'm going to fix it, only then can we start counting our chicks even when the
chicks have not hatched out.

Haters are at it again. When will all these stupid Nigerians and ethnic bigots both in and outside nairaland who parade themselves as nationalist ever look beyond their nose and stop basking in the euphoria of tribalism and ethnic jingoism. Anything that has to do with the Igbos always springs up bitterness from your galls. Just for once, why can't you people just think that the problem of this country is the failure of government from all tiers and the myopic citizens. Politicians can manipulate anything including foreign media. With much money I can even go to India and ask a journalist to say that Awolowo is responsible for Boko Haram menace and he'll never hesitate. You guys are becoming EVIL. I have now realized that literacy and education can not erase tribalism. On Sundays and Fridays you go to Church and Mosque, yet you come out with much bitterness. The jobless ones amongst you pray for good jobs but God will never answer your prayers because of your intents. Even our old leaders are better than lots of you. You guys always get excited when you see that your neighbour is being roped. But, you get angry and pretentious when he prospers. I got tired of both local and foreign media when Saharareporters published Nigeria History and Achievements without mentioning the Igbos contributions. I'm beginning to think that devil is a myth, that humans are the real devil. Those that beat the drum of war should be careful. The abode of WARs is the heart, cause war itself is the manifestation of hate and resentment.

Just imagine what would have happened if Patrick Sawyer had been sent to Sambisa Forest...

This virus is just reminding me of the movie--- Residence Evil.

At times, this issue revolves around the country's foreign reserve; external and internal debt and the balance of trade.

With proper planning and strong regulatory bodies alot can be achieve. Since Nigerians are oblivious of what health insurance is. Government has to enlighten the public. I believe, this should be inclusive in the planning process. If government really is determined it can niche a nice plan that will serve as shock-absorber or parliatives. I really want these dudes to be engaged like their counterparts in overseas

eaglechild: The health sector is one of the only sectors that is heavily subsidised and funded by the government in the developed world.

Most countries in western Europe whose citizens enjoy the best level of health care do so because of well packaged insurance and free health services enjoyed by citizens.

If the health sector is privatised, cost of health care will sky rocket beyond reach and we will see all our health indices slide.

Health care is not power or telecommunications, it is something that MUST be had by all.
If an ebola patient cannot assess care, their is risk of infecting the whole community rich or poor.


Whatever the case doctors will still benefit.

Yea, you made a nice point, they might benefit in anyways, but, atleast they'll start taking their jobs more serious. Have you ever heard of government hospitals in the developed world? Even if government gives them the whole money in its treasury it will even make them morethan lazy. Just for the fact that they are occupying a great space in our society doesn't mean that they aren't questionable. And I still don't know why they (Medical Doctor) and University Lecturers like playing God. You'll barely find a lecturer that can ever think that he's wrong in any situation. Humility has totally eluded them all.

Even when you go to these hospitals they'll barely attend to you. Everytime they'll be forming busy, and busy doing nothing. They don't value life at all. In fact, to me, the Nigeria Medical Association is fast metamorphosing into a cult group. No dignity in labour again. The spirit of patriotism is long dead and our value system is in shambles.

Certainly, there's going to be a regulatory body just like NAFDAC... FG can create a better structure for the better implementation of this policy. Teaching Hospitals are death traps and most of our doctors are lazy. Me, myself and I support this move whether UNA like am or not. You're entitle to your own point of view.

I love this move. And Labour Law needs to be reviewed. I hate this strike strike things. Although, FG might be sturborn at times. But is strike the only measure? All they care about is money. They always complain about politicians earning more, let them drop their stethoscopes and join politics. Afterall, they said that if you think involving in politics is very bad, the punishment you'll receive is that you'll be ruled by fools.

When beggers die commets are not seen but heaven itself heralds the death of princes

Messi didn’t deserve Golden Ball—

(AFP) – Argentine football legend Diego
Maradona said compatriot Lionel Messi did
not deserve to be named best player of the
World Cup, arguing it should have gone to
Colombia’s James Rodriguez.
“I’d give Lio the sky, but when it’s not
deserved and it’s just marketers who want
to make him win something he didn’t win,
it’s unfair,” Maradona said Sunday after
Argentina lost the World Cup final to
Germany 1-0.
“Rodriguez was the best player of the World
Cup,” said Maradona on his TV program “De
Zurda,” which is broadcast by Venezuelan
network Telesur and retransmitted in
several Latin American countries.
The 23-year-old Rodriguez was the
revelation of the World Cup and the top
scorer with six goals.
Messi dazzled in the group stage with four
goals, but failed to score in his last four
games, including the final.
Maradona said Messi himself did not seem
to feel he deserved the trophy.
“It looked like he didn’t want to take it,” he
said.
But Maradona praised Argentina and said
the match could have gone either way.
“I’m sad about Mario Goetze’s (game-
winning) goal,” he said. “But we can’t forget
that we took this World Cup step by step. If
we had scored (Gonzalo) Higuain’s
(disallowed) goal we would be partying.
Germany were not dominant.”
Maradona, 53, was Messi’s childhood idol
and is his rival for the title of greatest-ever
Argentine footballer.
To many fans, the 27-year-old Barcelona
striker still needs to add a World Cup win to
his resume to match the greatness of
Maradona, who led his team to the title in
1986.

The Bible says that wisdom is everywhere knocking on the door of your heart. It takes only a wise man to learn from little things. And he that learns from little things will virtually know everything. Education doesn't equate wisdom. We have alot of educated fellas that are tribal bigots, even the professors from both ends. I have lived with the Yorubas throughout my life. I was born in their soil; I ate their foods and I love their ladies. In fact, my best friend is a yoruba and we've been friends for ten years now. I have also realised that some friends are better than brothers. We shouldn't allow sentiment to erode our sense of judgment. Throughout my stay in Lagos and other Yoruba States I did not experience any xenophobia, racism, tribalism and hate as much as the ones I experienced in Rivers State. In fact, I've decided to make any good person a brother irrespective of where he's coming from, and any bad person an enemy even if he's my kinsman. #Say NO to TRIBALISM.

Please, I just got the info yesterday. Will Monday 14th be late for me cause I'm not in my state presently?

Commentator said: Hundred and Ten TV stations are present here, but non ever predicted this scoreline.

Yeah, the defeat Might be too heavy for Brazilians, but, there's something that they did that really got me tripping: David Luis and Gustavo prayed after the match. I really loved it. No matter how bad the situation we find ourself is, we should learn to give thanks to God.

Fallacy of hasty generalization. Since he was a member of APC in his enclave, so, does it means everybody in APC is armed robber? We all have bad people everywhere.

Injustice does not only mean treating equal people unequally, it also means treating unequal people equally. No doubt, we have good heads in polytechnics. But, it's quite clear that polytechnics barely employ professor which is the highest academic qualification, and the entrance score is very low. This has made alot of people view it as second to degree. If you've also read polytechnics handouts or text books and university's, you won't hesitate to decipher that polytechnic still has long way. Although, some of their lecturers and students are exceptional, after all, even in sciences we have odds or exceptional cases. Government also has alot of role to play by equalizing HND and DEGREE in its ministries. The truth is just that; some university graduates ought to be in polytechnic while some polytechnic graduates ought to be in university. Maybe, it's fate, or maybe, it's because our society is not ideal. :PInjustice does not only mean treating equal people unequally, it also means treating unequal people equally.

They were so angry and pissed up. I just pray that this policy dies quickly. If he had done it to only the natives and exclude all non-natives that one is understandable. But, since he singled out his targets, he's about committing political suicide.

Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha decided to make compulsory ID card for all northerners resident in Imo State for security reasons. But, this policy was dead on arrival as morethan 2/3 of the members of the Nigeria Senate totally condemned this policy, including senators from Imo State. The Upper Chamber urged the Executive to call Rochas to order since his ID card policy is able to cause more trouble in the already troubled polity. And I think for the sake of peace and tranquility, the ID card should be for all those residing in Imo State including the foreigners and indigens. If he does it for everybody it will serve thesame purpose. I'm from Imo State, and I want policies that will project my state as a state of light for not only the indigens, but also for other Nigerians and Africans. Do these politicians have advisers? Before you publicize añ intended policy a thorough research should be carried out to weigh its possibilities and effects. These politicians should also realize that local policies affect international policies as these local policies go a long way in affecting the lives of their kits and kins in diaspora.

Boko haram menace or carnage is uniting this country simply because strategic and sensitive locations had not been hit. The other regions are just waiting for this to happen before they'll take up their own arms. And, I also think Boko haram and their sponsors are all aware of this fact. Their modus operandi is: don't cross the 'Red Line' which is the South. And, the real truth is that they can cross the 'Red Line' if they want to, but they are not just ready for that. After all, is the Nigeria security intelligence that formidable to prevent them from coming down south? He (Prof) made a good point at tracing the remote cause of Boko haram. Alot of research had proved that the seed of Boko haram was sown when OBJ allowed some parts of the north to establish Sharia as their state law. But most Nigerians hate the truth and, in fact, most of us have short memories. OBJ was avoiding the north yet he wants GEJ to take those steps he couldn't take. He was even bold enough to go to the media to say he was at peace with the north simply because he allowed them to have their sharia. To me, it means selling the future and curing the symptom

I can't just stop wondering why these guys barely stay in marriage. They act, direct and produce movies that teach alot of moral lessons yet they live contrary to what they preach. They don't trust each other and in marriage trust is one of the chief corner-stones. They are all selfish bunch of fools because if they do know the psychological damage and spiritual vacuum that divorce creates on our wards they would never had had a second thought of it. Our media outlets are also responsible for some of these divorce cases. Their second name is see and tell. If Anne Idibia had decided to listen to the gibberishness of naija media her own marriage would have been in shambles. These stars should also realize that naija media are so desperate to make money not minding whose ox is gored, and also learn to be faithful and try to define privacy. I RESPECT MARRIAGE ALOT. Marriage is an institution not just a course of study that you can learn for four years. You can't learn everything about your spouse for even a decade because it's not like natural and physical science, you are all humans, have this in your mind. A healthy family is a healthy society which naturally translate to a healthy nation. #Say No To Divorce To Save Our Society

[quote author=ndu_chucks]I'm sorry to say that this statement, credited to the President, is another admission of gross incompetence, failed policies by his administration, and outright cluelessness.

A competent government with well thought-out plans would have voted $1billion for the development of the solid minerals in the North back in 2012. As the President admited, these resources are in abundance in that region.

Guess what GEJ's government did in 2012 - it voted $1b for inland exploration for oil in the country’s inland basins particularly the Chad Basin. To date, a drop of oil is yet to be discovered in the area, while most of the $1billion has disappeared into thin air. Here's a link to the announcement of this waste expenditure.

The President's speech writers are incompetent clowns and GEJ himself continues to prove that he has no idea what his ministers are really doing on his behalf.[/quote]/quote] You are too critical and bitter. You must have been raised by a single parent who also must have filled up your mind and head with hate for anybody that is not you. It also makes you never to see anything good about anybody. If you were an old woman na your own witch go be the 'baddest'.

It is hightime we started telling each other the truth. Truly if you are talking about achievement Mikel is ahead of Toure. But if we are talking about individual brilliance Toure is ahead. The question is: what are the criteria? Because, if it is strictly by individual brilliance I think Jay Jay should have been crowned during his time. This thing is African Best not European Best. We are talking about a player that has taken his continent to the next level in football via his national team and also club. How is the African Best female player crowned? Is it by their individual performance in their European clubs or by what they have achieved and done for their nations? Listen, by individual brilliance Mikel is just 35% but by achievement he is 90%. By individual brilliance Toure is 60% but by achievement he is 40%. What has he (Mikel) not achieved except the FIFA World Cup, and which level of football has he not played and performed well? I thank God you said that it's your own personal view or opinion.

yibomustgo: Jonathan did not address Obsanjo's allegations. What he has done is to just repeat the allegations and denied doing them. He tried to give Obsanjo some body shots while doing it. I don't see this a good response to what Obasanjo asked in his letter.

Jonathan failed to address the corruption allegations i.e Stellah Oduah and co....

Jonathan failed to address his talk about only Ibos voted for him and Ibos being his backbone....

Jonathan failed to address the allegation of Al-Mustapha release....

Jonathan failed to address the insecurity questions in the country....

Jonathan failed to answer the question of supporting opposition parties with the promise that they support him for re-election...

Jonathan failed to address the problem he caused in Rivers State as sitting Governor, Amaechi is being humiliated by police and GEJ loyalists...

Jonathan has failed to address the allegation of weapons being shipped to Enugu and not the rest of the country.......

There are more questions to be answered.

Mehn! Some people are just igbophobic. I don tire for most ethnically blinded Yoruba fellows. Although, we still have some great minds amongst them that don't allow sentiment to erode their sense of judgement. When Obasanjo wrote his own letter did you ask for evidence? Haba!!

This question is for everybody. I drove pass a local hotel this evening and I saw some prostitutes seriously making themselves up for the evening business. Immediately, something came up in my head--- entrepreneur. Entrepreneurs are risk takers, investors, business minded fellows, committed and time managers likewise these prostitutes. So, should our prostitutes be also called entrepreneurs? If yes, that means prostitution should be included in our entrepreneural curriculumn.
